text: Sep 5, 2013 23:55 Courtney Roby, Chris Carr among Saints cuts Courtney Roby, Chris Carr among Saints cuts Associated Press file photo by BILL HABER -- Saints special-teams player Courtney Roby picks up a blocked punt and runs it in for a touchdown during last season's opener against the Redskins in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. by sheldon mickles| email@example.com Aug. 31, 2013; 3:53 p.m. Comments Special teams captain Courtney Roby was one of the bigger names among players released Saturday by the Saints as they reached the regular-season limit of 53 players by making 22 roster moves. Roby, who had been with the team since 2008, had his contract terminated along with cornerback Chris Carr, a nine-year veteran who was trying to earn a roster spot with new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan — whom he played under from 2005-07 with the Oakland Raiders. A wide receiver by trade, Roby made his biggest contributions on special teams as a return man and on punt and kickoff coverage. He was valued by Saints coaches as a "gunner" who lined up on the outside on punts and fought off double-teams to get downfield to try to make the tackle. Playing in 62 career games with the Saints — including 13 a year ago — Roby, who was voted special teams captain by his teammates the past two seasons, had just two receptions for 15 yards. But he averaged 25.6 yards on 94 kickoff returns and had a 97-yarder for a score to open the second half against the St. Louis Rams in 2009, helping the Saints to their ninth win in a row to start a season that would culminate with them winning Super Bowl XLIV. Carr was signed by the Saints in mid-June as their offseason program was winding up. He made a strong impression early in training camp and made some big plays in the Black and Gold Scrimmage, intercepting one pass and tipping another pass that linebacker David Hawthorne intercepted. The Saints also terminated the contract of defensive end/linebacker Jay Richardson, who saw extensive action in the preseason because of numerous injuries at linebacker, and waived veteran wide receiver Preston Parker, who caught two touchdown passes in the preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. Richardson, who started Thursday night's preseason finale with the Miami Dolphins at defensive end because starter Cameron Jordan was held out, hasn't played in an NFL regular-season game since 2010. The Saints also terminated the contract of safety Jim Leonhard and put center/guard Eric Olsen on injured reserve. The Saints waived former Tulane quarterback Ryan Griffin, an undrafted free agent, and linebacker Rufus Johnson, their sixth-round draft pick this spring. They also waived nose tackle Isaako Aaitui; linebackers Baraka Atkins and Ray Shipman; wide receiver Saalim Hakim; fullback Austin Johnson; tight ends Michael Higgins and Keavon Milton; tackle Marcel Jones; cornerbacks Korey Lindsey and Jumal Rolle; guards Elliott Mealer and Andrew Tiller; safety Jerico Nelson; and center Jeremiah Warren.

I get so confused when I think about them.
Ever since I was younger, not a day goes by when I don't think that I hope to meet my other half...if I am lucky enough to do so in this lifetime. That "want" is there all the time; so bad, in fact, I feel like a part of me hurts. Nothing of the physical sort by any means.
I hear so many conflicting things about Twin Flames and Soul Mates...
"Often, when people learn that they share a unique mission with their twin flame, they begin to search for that one special soul instead of seeking their wholeness within. This is a detour on the path back to God. Your twin flame may have already walked the spiritual path and reunited with God, or they may still be struggling to find their way. Wherever your twin flame is - whatever their state of consciousness is - can greatly influence your own ability to find wholeness - and vice versa."
"Not all of the beautiful and soul-fulfilling loves are those of twin flames. There is also the love of close, kindred souls called soul mates. Soul mates are different from twin flames in that they were not created from the same ovoid of light and therefore each has their own twin flame. The soul mate relationship is a great blessing when for some reason we cannot reunite with our twin flame in this embodiment.
For instance, our twin flame might not be in embodiment at this time, or may not be following a spiritual path, or conversely, may already be an Ascended Master working in the spiritual realms to inspire us upward. An ascended twin flame might even send a soul mate to us as a representative of him/herself. Soul mates are drawn together because they are simultaneously working on the same type of karma, sacred labour and the same chakra (spiritual centres within the body).
Soul mates can be in the husband/ wife, sibling, co-worker or other relationship and they can be of the same or different sex. A soul mate is like the echo of oneself working at the same task to fulfil a service to God."
"Whether it be the union of twin flames, soul mates or karmic partners, the marriage of man and woman is meant to be an initiation on the path back to God, a commemoration of the soul's reunion with God. It is our choice as to whether our relationships are based on the human or the divine. The union of twin flames is intended to be for the magnification of their service to God and humanity - it is a high and holy calling. To meet your twin flame while you still have karma may simply lead to another parting, without the knowledge of spiritual laws on how to balance this karma and the dedication to apply these laws."
I feel so sad and discouraged. I don't know what to think. I'm terribly sorry if I may be coming across as overly emotional, but this is the one thing I have not found some sort of concrete "answer" to. My "I AM" presence seems jumbled...I get thrown off balance so quickly when I go seeking this information...I don't know if something is wrong or if its right with me.
Please, if anyone out there can help explain this to me and help me cool down spiritually, I'd be so grateful for your service! I don't know what to do. I know deep down I shouldn't be feeling this..."nuts". My search on this subject led me to this website and I felt maybe I might be able to learn from this community. I don't know where else to turn. :(

Q:Hello, we have what we think is a Red Baron growing in a pot, tall grassy leaves with red tips. We would like to put it in the garden, we have chalky soil, when should we do this? can we split it up? thanks,Asked on 28/9/2013 by smokey from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
1 answer
A:Hello there
Yes these can be grown in the garden, as long as it is a moist, well-drained fertile soil. They are generally classed as borderline hardy so need protection from frosts in the winter, but as yours is already in a pot which you can protect if needed, I would wait and split it in the spring, then plant out in the garden.
Hope this helpsAnswered on 30/9/2013 by Anonymous from Crocus
Q:Imperata cylindrica 'Rubra' how hardy is it?
Dear Sirs I have just received (in March) some plants from you including a Imperata cylindrica 'Rubra', but it is not yet showing any signs of starting to grow. Please advise about its temperature resistance, and can I safely plant it outside in the current mild spell, or should I retain it in my conservatory until May when frosts are no longer likely? Many thanks in anticipation of your response. Sincerely BarryAsked on 18/3/2010 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Hello Barry, This plant can tolerate frosts, but it is not quite fully hardy so will need some protection in colder parts of the country. If you have a sheltered garden with freely draining soil, then I would plant it out as soon as possible because we should be over the worst of the winter weather by now. If however your garden is very exposed, or you have a very heavy soil, then best to leave it in its pot and place it outside against a sunny, south facing wall if you can for another few weeks. I hope this helps. HelenAnswered on 18/3/2010 by Crocus Helpdesk

A:You are correct in thinking that this plant dies back completely and will not look very impressive at all at this time of the year! The good news is that there will be fresh new growth appearing towards the end of spring.Answered on 31/1/2005 by Crocus

A good friend of mine, Lucy came to Vancouver for the holidays and so we decided to make a day of eating part of our plans. We hit up three different places and this was the second one- Mui Garden as suggested by Nickie. I heard about Mui Garden previously from reading other blogs and also a raving review about their laksa by a man I met at the BC Home and Garden. We visited the Mui Garden located in Richmond and we were in between meal hours (it just turned 5pm) so it wasn't so busy when we got there, but by the time we left it was packed. Mui Garden originated in Hong Kong serving up a fusion of Chinese and Malaysian food – most notably their Malaysian curry.
They have specials that come with a drink ranging from noodles, rice and dishes served with rice.
We started off with some Roti ($5.50). Served with a bit of their curry sauce, it was a little underwhelming but it wasn't bad. It was a little more greasier than say, Kaya Malay Bistro but not as greasy as Bo Laksa King. However, I prefer the roti at either Kaya or Bo a bit better. Why? Kaya has layers of roti that you can rip off and it's quite enjoyable and Bo serves it a bit crispy which is nice. This is sitting right in the middle of these two places.
Up next is our Malaysian Fried Rice ($8.95). This was a great fried rice dish, good flavour, not too greasy and a good helping of shrimp in it. The portion was a little small – but that's because it's a combo and most likely a huge portion for one person to eat but not three people (or a hungry couple!) to share.
Their signature Beef Brisket Curry ($9.50) came up next and it was everything everyone talks about. The beef is tender and can be pulled apart quite easily and the curry is not too thick with a great liquidity that is enjoyable with some rice. It is mild, so it's a good curry for anyone to try out.
Finally, I decided to see what the fuss is about and ordered the Singapore Laksa ($7.00). Mind you, Laksa is such a diverse dish depending on the region it's made – so you really have a different experience at different restaurants, so it's hard to come up with a baseline of what makes a great bowl of laksa. This laksa is by far a great laksa – the soup base is spicy, a little oily and a bit creamy which is the perfect balance for the beginnings of great laksa (in my opinion anyway). The bean sprouts, meat and tofu were nice but didn't really contribute much to the dish other than texture and crunch (and substance, I guess! 😉 ). The noodles are thin noodles which makes for a nice, full taste.
I would love to try out the Victoria or Main street location and order other dishes (but …maybe some curry too because while in Rome…)!

Fun with jMaki: Using the Yahoo Geocoder service with the Dojo Combobox
By jenniferb on Jan 03, 2007
I wanted to see how easy it would be to use the Geocoder service with the Dojo combobox widget included with jMaki. It turns out that there wasn't much to it.
My example allows a user to select a city from the combobox to see it plotted on the map, as shown in this figure:
To build this application, I first created my data file, europeCities.js, which contains a list of European cities in a JavaScript file:
[ ["Berlin","Berlin"], ["Helsinki","Helsinki"], ["London","London"], ["Madrid","Madrid"], ["Paris","Paris"], ["Rome","Rome"] ]
Next, I created the JSP page that includes the ajax tags that represent the combobox and the map:
<a:ajax id="cb1" name="dojo.combobox" service="europeCities.js" /> <p> <a:ajax id="map001" name="yahoo.map" args="{zoom:10, centerLat:37.39316, centerLon:-121.947333700, width:350}" />The cb1 ajax tag represents the combobox. It gets its data from the europeCities.js file. The map001 ajax tag represents the yahoo map and is set to a default set of coordinates.
To get the city that the user selects to be plotted on the map, I first needed a topic listener that takes the value of that city and uses dojo.io.bind to do the following:
- Create a URL to the service using the selected value.
- Publish the coordinates that are returned from the service to the /yahoo/geocoder topic.
jmaki.addGlueListener({ topic: "/dojo/combobox/updateMap", action: "call", target: {object:"jmaki.listeners.ComboboxGeocoder", functionName:"updateMapHandler"}}); jmaki.listeners.ComboboxGeocoder = { updateMapHandler : function(args) { var location = encodeURIComponent("location="+ args.value); dojo.io.bind({ url: "xhp?key=yahoogeocoder&urlparams=" + location, method: "get", mimetype: "text/json", load : function(type, data) { jmaki.publish("/yahoo/geocoder", data.coordinates); } }); } }
The /yahoo/geocoder topic listener is already included with the jMaki distribution. This listener function plots the coordinates on the map.
To get my new listener to be called when a new value is selected, I needed to add code to dojo combobox widget's component.js file that publishes the selected value and other arguments on the widget tag to the updateMap topic when the combobox experiences a value change:
this.onChange = function(value){ if (value == '') return; jmaki.publish("/dojo/combobox/updateMap", {wargs: wargs, value: value}); }
That's all there is to it.
You can download this application from the jMaki file download page by selecting comboboxGeocoder.war from the list of files.
If you are using a proxy server to server your web requests, you need to specify the proxyHost and proxyPort context parameters in the web.xml file:
<context-param> <param-name>proxyHost</param-name> <param-value>myProxy.com</param-value> </context-param> <context-param> <param-name>proxyPort</param-name> <param-value>8080</param-value> </context-param>
To edit the web.xml file, unpack the WAR file and then re-package it with the jar command after editing the file.
Thanks to Greg Murray for helping me debug the listener code.

MEDINA — The top-ranked amateur football team in the nation will be playing at Kenneth Dukes Stadium the next two weekends.
Beginning next season, that team will call Medina High School its home, and owner Jermaine Campbell couldn't be prouder that his Ohio Golden Knights of the Premier Amateur Football League will play their games in Medina County.
The PAFL is a 20-team league made up of players 18 or older and is in its first year of existence. The Golden Knights have been around for three years and played in the Ohio Football League before moving to the PAFL, which is considered a stronger league.
"When you look at the city of Akron, there's so much to be focused on between the University of Akron, the Akron Racers and the Akron RubberDucks," Campbell said. "Medina County doesn't have a college or any amateur football.
"When you look at it, there's a market for what we want to do. During the summer there's no main sports attraction. Medina High School has been nothing but class for us and they have a Class A facility. We want to be there. It's somewhere we want to play."
Medina is much more than a marketing mecca for Campbell, whose team played two preseason games at Kenneth Dukes Stadium this year. The city and county have always been a place the owner has thought of fondly.
"When you look at places to go, you want to go to a community that loves football. If they're not big on football, there's no reason to go there," Campbell said. "Medina County is huge on football. They're in support of football, and winning football at that. That's what we bring. Hopefully we can get some great football support from Medina. Medina County is the best move for us."
Fans wanting to see what the Golden Knights are all about can watch them for free in an Aug. 9 exhibition game with the Ohio Gladiators of the OFL. It's a doubleheader with the Mount Vernon Militia and Mahoning Valley Tigers of the OFL squaring off in the matinee at 3:30 p.m.
The Aug. 16 game is a second-round PAFL playoff matchup pitting the Golden Knights (8-0) against the Erie Express (6-2) or Pittsburgh Rangers (6-2). The game starts at 6 p.m. and there will be a $5 admission charge for adults and $3 for children ages 7-12. Those under the age of 6 will be admitted free.
The Golden Knights are ranked No. 1 in the National Football Events News Coaches Poll and have won 27 games in a row.
Unmatched in the regular season in the PAFL Stars Conference Blue Division, the Golden Knights picked up a first-round bye and chose their future home of Medina to play their playoff game.
The Golden Knights, who are currently based out of Akron, have two players with NFL experience on their roster in running back Shawn Bayes (Oakland Raiders/Kent State) and wide receiver Ryan Travis (Seattle Seahawks/West Liberty).
The Knights also have the PAFL's No.1 quarterback in Brandon Hanna (77-for-132, 1,401 yards, 15 touchdowns), the top touchdown scorer on the ground in Bayes (8) and the best receivers in the league in Ryan Travis (19 catches, 530 yards, 5 TDs), Glenn Campbell (23, 424, 3) and Cornelius Strickland (14, 329, 6).
"Fans coming to the game on Aug. 9 can see the coaches in their atmosphere and some of the players that don't normally play," Jermaine Campbell said. "When you come to the game on Aug. 16, you get the full show. You get the No. 1 quarterback in the league, the No. 1 running back and the top three wide receivers."
As for the team's future, Jermaine Campbell will look heavily into Medina County when tryouts take place in the offseason.
"When you look at Medina, Wadsworth, Buckeye and Brunswick, they have talent," he said. "We want talent. We want to stay the No. 1 team in the nation. You don't do that by taking lesser players. We want the best of the best. We want those players to play in front of the fans who followed them from peewee to high school."
For more information about the team or the upcoming games, contact Jermaine Campbell at (330) 949-8266.

This will make CPI-300 the ONLY FDA approved high-dose bupropion HCl on the U.S. market.This approval is a significant symbolic win for the company. IntelGenx developed CPI-300 completely on their own and along the way prevailed against Biovail in a year-long patent infringement lawsuit. So the company has demonstrated the capability and tenacity to see a product through development to approval which should translate into higher value being placed on their pipeline.This approval will also be a significant financial win for the company. IntelGenx owns the entire rights to CPI-300 and now will look to close a commercial partnership in short order. Who the partner will be and how the economics (i.e. upfront & royalty) will look is too tough to predict, but once the product is launched in 2012 the company should become cash flow positive almost instantly.The company's pipeline is also full of thin film products, so there should be steady news flow on human studies, partnerships and new product developments. Intelgenx is only one of a handful of companies with technology in this area.Looking ahead we can expect a commercial partnership announcement and product launch for CPI-300 in the very near term .ouh87h7oho7hzpo7zh78hzup

Antakshari has been a part of the Indian tradition since time immemorial. The members of Gookuldham try and make it a part of the show!
Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah is inspired from the famous humorous column 'Duniya Ne Undha Chasma' written by the eminent Gujarati writer Mr. Tarak Mehta. This story evolves around happenings in "Gokuldham Co-operative Society" and covers topical issues which are socially relevant.The show predominantly revolves around 'Jethalaal' (Dilip Joshi) who is an uneducated Gujarati businessman. Your 'Taarak Mehta' (Sailesh Lodha), is his neighbour. 'Jethalaal' finds a friend and philosopher in 'Taarak Mehta' and often goes to him for advice whenever he is in trouble. Jethalaal's family includes his simpleton wife 'Daya Ben' (Disha Wakani) and a mischievous son 'Tapu' (Bhavya Gandhi). Tapu is a menace and a constant source of trouble to all the members of Gokuldham. They have often warned 'Jethalaal' to reform 'Tapu' or else be prepared to leave the premises. Lost hopes of being heard by his son pushes Jethalaal' to call his father 'Champaklal' (Amit Bhatt) from the village. This was his great idea of leashing some control over the mischievous Tapu. The opposite happens and the grandfather joins hands with the grandson to make life a roller coaster troublesome ride for Jethalaal.

Hate having the guy next to you in a movie theatre chat about everything and nothing right at the climax of the movie? Engineers at Japan's Iwate University have developped a wall which would block the cellphone frequency band.
Oka is developing wall paneling that absorbs microwave signals, rendering cellphones useless. The paneling is made from two sheets of ordinary fiberboard that sandwich a third layer made of nickel-zinc ferrite powder and a binding compound. Electromagnetic waves transmitted by cellphones are absorbed by the ferrite particles and converted to small amounts of heat. The fact that they are absorbed rather than jammed is key, as the jamming of radio signals is illegal in many countries, including the United States.More information @ Popular Science

How Much Does Dry Cleaning a Suit Cost?
Dry cleaning is not actually a dry process at all since the garments get as wet as when you wash them just like they do with traditional washing. The difference between the dry cleaning and the conventional washing lies in the cleaning solvent used. Dry cleaning uses a non-water based cleaning solvent. Hence, the term dry cleaning has been coined. It is employed on fabrics that are too delicate to be put into a washing machine. One of the main types of clothing that people get dry cleaned is a suit. These are very fine pieces of clothing that need special care and should not be thrown in a regular washer.
How much does it cost?
- On average, dry cleaning a suit can cost around $10 to $35
- On average, be prepared to pay the following prices:
- Women's 2-piece suit — $10 to $25
- Women's 3-piece suit with vest — $18 to $30
- Suit dress — $14 to $28
- Women's linen/silk suit — $14 to $28
- Men's 3-piece Evening suit — $26 to $34
- Men's 2-piece suit — $10 to $22
- Men's 3-piece suit — $13 to $30
- Men's 2-piece Dinner suit — $15 to $30
- Men's linen/silk suit — $22 to $30
- The SpitSpot.com, a dry cleaner in Maryland, charges $9.50 for a two-piece suit and $12.50 for a three-piece suit.
What are going to be included?
- Each item is hand-finished after dry cleaning.
- Clothes for dry cleaning may be dropped off and collected from dry cleaning agents.
- VIP customers may take advantage of free pickup and delivery with some companies if they reach a minimum order.
- Once the dry cleaning is finished, your garments will be hung on a hangar and covered with a plastic overhang. This will protect the garment while it is being transported to and from the dry cleaning service.
What are the extra costs?
- If you register for a VIP Service at some cleaners, you will have to pay an extra cost for the VIP bag, which contains the member-customer's garments. This garment bag is reusable and will be used as long as it is still in good condition.
- VIP customers whose pickup and delivery orders do not reach the specified minimum number of order will have to pay extra for it.
- Dry cleaning service done on the same day as the items are dropped off will have to pay a surcharge of 50% to 75% of the total cost.
- Most services offer pick up and delivery of your items for an extra fee.
Factors that influence the price:
- Service. The dry cleaning service you choose will determine the price you pay. This will be chosen based on factors such as the location and reputation of the service.
- Suit. Suits can come in various designs and forms. The number of pieces, the material, and the size can all affect the cost, and whether or not the suit has any embellishments such as beads or embroidery can affect the cost as well.
Tips to know:
- Do not remove stains from silk garments by using water, soap, or by rubbing because the material can be easily damaged.
- Do not keep soiled garments for long because the stains can oxidize and may become non-removable when it ages.
- Store your silk garments in a cool and dry place to prevent them from getting brittle and faded due to sunlight exposure.
- Frequent dry cleaning may damage or decrease a garment's lifespan because the high drying temperatures, chemicals, and solvents used in the process will weaken the threads and fabric of your suit over time.
- As an alternative to dry cleaning, you may remove any stain on your suit by washing it with a mild soap and warm water. To do away with any crumples or stretches, you may use a clothes steamer instead.
Questions to ask:
- Which type of clothes need dry cleaning?
- How often do I have to dry clean my suit?
- What are the solvents used in dry cleaning?
- Is it possible to demand from dry cleaners for an environmentally-safe solvent to use on my suits and other garments? Or, are there dry cleaning shops that use only environmentally friendly products for dry cleaning?
How can I save money?
- If you are a regular customer with some cleaners, you may have the privilege to a free dry cleaning after every so many cleanings.
- Instead of taking your suit to a dry cleaner each time you get a stain, shop for at-home options to remove those dirt and creases, and extend the lifespan of your garments.

When Jay-Z released The Dynasty LP in 2000, his team consisted of Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, and Amil. At the time, the LP seemed like it would be an automatic disappointment, as not only did Jay have to share the mic with his crew, but he also didn't spend any money on production. Who were these guys, Kanye West and Just Blaze, that produced the majority of the LP, we all thought to ourselves. The joke was on us though, as The Dynasty was satisfyingly solid, easily proving the worth of Kanye and Just as producers, leading to their current status as some of the most respected in the game. How times have changed.
But while we went in with low expectations for The Dynasty eleven years ago, expectations couldn't be higher for Watch The Throne, the first collaborative LP from Jay-Z and Kanye West. It began during the Good Fridays campaign for Ye's MBDTF, which spawned a gorgeous track called "The Joy". The track found Jay and Yeezy back-to-back over the mellowest of Curtis Mayfield breaks, produced by none other than Pete Rock. They followed up with "H.A.M.", an operatic Lex Lugar produced track that didn't go over quite as well. But they quickly redeemed themselves with "Otis", which came off similar in fashion to "The Joy", but utilizing a more abrasive, chopped up Otis Redding sample. The response to this track quickly erased any leftover bacon taste from the previous single, and sent expectations through the roof.
But when the bar is set that high, only greatness will be accepted, which is why Watch The Throne is ultimately a let down.
With no clear direction, the album is a collage of different sounds and styles, some of which will delight, others that will disappoint. The album begins with two better-than-average tracks, the brooding "No Church In The Wild" and the Beyonce firestarter "Lift Off". But while both are good, they fail to really set the album off. The clinky, paired-down "N***as In Paris" follows, setting a poor tone for the album. Luckily, "Otis" comes in and sets things straight.
The Neptunes produced, James Brown sampled "Gotta Have It" also gets things back on track, but there really isn't an attention grabbing moment until The RZA helmed "New Day" kicks in. Jay and Kanye introspectively look at the faces of the future sons', creating an honest, somber look beyond the duo's stone exteriors. "Murder To Excellence" also is refreshing, examining race in America; a topic not touched upon by these two very often. The dubstep infused, Flux Pavillion produced "Who Gon Stop Me" knocks, but is strange bedfellows next to the album's rawer, sample based beats. The album's closer, "Why I Love You" finds Jay firing shots indirectly at past friends, harking back to that Dynasty era.
While the production may be uneven, there are still tons of quotable moments from both Jay and Kanye on this LP. Don't get us wrong, each of these songs may have their own merits out of context, but have a hard time fitting together as a whole. All in all, Watch The Throne is still a good album. But when dealing with two gentlemen that have such a long-standing reputation for greatness, "good" simply isn't good enough.
I agree with the yeezy slant of the album. Bof these boyz winin
3.5 out of 5? Yeah thats about right. I have been a fan of Jay ever since I heard Dead Presidents, the original version. And aside from 808 & heartbreak (which I didn't buy because I fukkin HATE auto tune), Kanye is also one of my faves. Do some albums have to grow on you? Hell yeah!! Look, I thought the 1st Chronic was aiight when it first came out. Watch the Throne is not the classic that it could have been, but it is still an ill album. Jay does seem a bit comfortable in his status but he still rhymes better than a lot of "hungry" rappers out there. The first three songs had me worried, but the rest of it is pretty sick. I think when Jiggas next solo joint drops, it will be a return to form
This album is a classick. Too bad the entire nation is a bunch of ignorant Christian zombies that have no clue what all the symbolism and all the references the lyrics make.
If you studied Egyptology you would know that Jay-Z and Kanye are not only throwing up a diamond but also a pyramid. When Kanye talks about his chain is so heavy and you see him rocking a huge medallion of the Ancient Egyptian God Horus better known today as Jesus.
Jay-Z was down with the Ansaru Allah Community back in day with Jaz-O, which later evolved into Holy Tabernacle Ministries to Nuwaubian Nation of Moors to the Ancient Egiptian Order.
People need to study before they judge. And pay attention to their lyrics, these 2 rappers are the only ones that matter. They rap about superficial stuff but they balance it out with real issues and subjects only adults can feel . The Beats are for all regions for the dummies who just need beats. No other rapper is bring their content to an album. No other rappers matter except them.
So if you don't like this album your just a ignorant asshole who wants simple shit or your a backpacker who wanted the blueprint part 4. Get a grip. Evolve, Grow, or DIE.
Would have given this 4 @'s myself just because of how interesting it is and how strong the production is.
As an album it doesn't hold together exceptionally well, but each individual track is very good.
Of course it's better to cover your bases since the ones who enjoyed it and hate the lower score are undoubtedly quieter than the idiots who think they should speak up when this site rates something "too high".
Will there ever be a time when niggas with barely in/conformed opinions stop listing their all-to-predictable list of classic albums that shape (or bind) their perception of what hip-hop, or for that matter any musical experience, should be?
Random Wu-Tang album between 93-98 drawn from a hat…any PE album produced by Bomb Quad….either Chronic album where Dre didn't write any lyrics…your choice of ATCQ's discography that 20 million niggas love but only 1 million (mainly west coast asians in palo alto or berkley or weed head white liberals) actually bought.
Breaking News: all the albums all of you'z list are between 11-20 years or more old…time (and ideally music) evolves! Maybe so shall WE (yes including me, today's random message board hater/geek) as hip-hop too must grow.
I would give Kanye West modern day Stevie Wonder status (you know Stevie, the blind guy Will Smith bit Wild Wild West from…errr, I mean Rza/Gza perfectly chopped up "Cold World" from) because in pushing music forward he gives us new song formats (not just hook, 16 bars, repeat), new topics songs are based off of as well as giving width to the hip-hop sound by adding musicianship across the board.
And in my opinion, that's the measurement stick for which, if used, will further extend the life of hip-hop: who's breaking ground. By no-means a Fabolous fan, but if he were out in '88 with same flow and lyrics, he would be a hip-hop legend. 2000s Fabolous is just another rapper with disposable music who breaks no ground and does absolutely nothing new….just like 95% of hip-hop, 9th Wonder included.
WTT, like damn near all of Kanye's worth. Is in the vein of Stevie because both gave us honest (rich nigga raps: yes; rich niggas: yes) music with talent and creativity that pushed the genre.
We all want ground breaking work, namely like the albums most all list when they give an opinion. But its beyond idiotic to apply the same standards and to live in the same cultural bubble from years ago and apply it to 2011.

Religion and Boy Scouts
in Portland Public Schools
by Nancy Powell
April, 1997 -- What has turned out to be our most ambitious project started with an innocent looking sheet of paper. That single sheet kicked into action an "angry housewife." The sheet was sent home by the Portland Public Schools asking parents to sign their sons up for a YMCA basketball program. However as one read on, the paper disclosed the mission statement of the YMCA: to promote Christianity.
CRT member Nancy Powell did not take kindly to the cooperation by the school to enlist members for any organization which openly promotes religion. She obtained the guidelines of the Portland Public School System regarding this subject. These rules clearly forbid such entanglements between the schools and organizations as the YMCA and the Boy Scouts. She then spoke with the school principal, whose position was not that the school was wrong, but only that Mrs. Powell's son would not be exposed to further proselytizing.
A few days later, her 6-year-old son Remington came home wearing a hospital-type plastic bracelet with the message that her son was invited to join the Cub Scouts, an arm of the Boy Scouts for boys too young for the regular Scouting program.
This time it was simply too much.
There is no question but that the Boy Scouts of America discriminates against Atheists. It is not possible for a boy from an Atheist family to join Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts -- unless the family has no objection to the religious indoctrination that is a central part of Scouting and unless the family allows their son to take a god-oath at every meeting. Nancy again objected to the school principal. It was becoming obvious that this sort of thing would continue, protests or no protests.
Mrs. Powell started up the chain of command, step by step, until she finally contacted the School Board itself. At every stage, she pointed out to the various officials that solicitations of this type violate the Board's written policies which prohibit the schools' entanglement with exclusionary organizations that are engaged in religious advocacy. When she reached the School Board level she spoke with Mark Abrahms who promised to look into it.
Before reaching Mr, Abrahms, Nancy was met at every step with such statements as, "Why are you so opposed to the Boy Scouts?" She patiently explained that she has no such opposition; in fact, she supports the right of any organization to have whatever rules for admission that they want. What this mother was objecting to was the entanglement of our secular school system with religious organizations, and the schools' violation of its own guidelines. Incredibly, the school officials simply denied that either the Scouts or the YMCA were advocates for religion. The denials are doubly amazing considering that each of these organizations proudly proclaims its religious connection. For example, the Scout oath which is recited at every meeting starts, "On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country…"
Then, Mrs. Powell made a surprising discovery. Both the national and local Parent Teachers Associations support her position. In fact, the PTA claims that every school official has been mailed official PTA guidelines mentioning that the PTA discourages any entanglement of public schools with the Boy Scouts. Not one person in the school system's chain of command had ever mentioned that fact. It was only through diligent searching that Mrs. Powell discovered this amazing statement.
Lanny Swerdlow, CRT president, has arranged for Lou Fredericks, spokesman for the Portland Public School System to speak to us about this issue at our April 8 meeting. Mr. Swerdlow issued a press release and there was an explosion of interest by the newspapers. First, an Oregonian reporter called and interviewed Mrs. Powell, sending a photographer to her home to get pictures of this mother and her children who are in the center of this controversy. Next, the Associated Press picked up the story followed by Willamette Week and the Portland Alliance. The newspapers papers will have reporters at the meeting. The Oregonian will have an article prior to the meeting and seating may be at a premium. We will be taping the whole proceedings for a later Bunk Busters television show.
One thing more that particularly struck Mrs. Powell was that two of the reporters who called her mentioned that they were only surprised that nobody has raised this issue before.
Whether you regularly attend meetings or not, this is a "must" meeting which involves no stranger, but one of our own. We must stand united to show our support for this cause. Please remember that all CRT meetings start promptly at 7:30 p.m.

There are those that say Hollywood was born the day Lew Wasserman came to town. For six decades, there was only one man who had the consummate power to run the industry and his reign forever defined Hollywood as we know it. During his 59-year career, he worked with everyone from Alfred Hitchcock to Steven Spielberg, James Stewart and Kevin Costner. His legendary deal making was respected, his temper reviled and his ability to predict the future of his industry uncanny. His talent, vision and power not only made him a billionaire, but changed the manner in which studios operated, films were produced and talent represented. Using politics and fear to keep the entire industry on a leash, the former Chairman and CEO of MCA and the Universal, Wasserman was the undisputed king of Hollywood. This rags to riches story began in the mob-controlled speakeasies of 1920's Cleveland and ends in the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles. Wasserman, an impoverished band-booker would become the greatest power-broker that Hollywood would ever know. From reputed mob connections to union chiefs, and political heavyweights the likes of Jack Valenti to President Ronald Reagan, Lew Wasserman controlled everybody.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackie Great Bowls These bowls are really great and they add color to a room. My 20 year old son is crazy about them. He loves the texture and size of the smallest bowl. They are awesome! November 3, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by DEB T Love 'em! Searched long time for a mixing bowl to replace my old favorite. This one is great: not too expensive, durable (after 2 years they look like new!), Large bowl has handle and all 3 have rubber base for good grip to counter. My kids help in the kitchen a lot. Needed something secure to prevent slipping or fingers getting in the way while using an electric mixer. August 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by casual cook love these bowls I love these bowls, bright colors, good shape and size. Bought one set for a shower gift and bought one for myself. I'm going to buy two more sets and set aside for my girls when they get married. March 13, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by pam cheery mixing bowls I love these bowls. They are light weight, easy to clean, and the perfect size. I use them often for mixing and also as a large salad bowl. Looks nice on the table with the bright colors. August 21, 2010

On 9/11 Anniversary, Administration Rejects Free Speech
Issues statement appeasing rioters who attack U.S. embassy in Cairo in retaliation for a Dutch film criticizing Mohammad
What was the Obama administration's response to the attack on the American Embassy in Cairo today, the 11th anniversary of 9/11?
His administration chose to side with the attackers, by criticizing a Dutch filmmaker who dared to say something negative about the Prophet Mohammed.
Caving into the rioters ultimatum that "If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our freedom of action," the U.S. Embassy issued this statement:
"We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others."
Should that be the response of America to those who attack the notion of free speech?
Charles Hurt at the Washington Times holds nothing back, calling out the administration for this cowardly rejection of freedom (2 pages).

I haven't seen a thread about this, so excuse my ignorance if this has already been addressed, but what is the meaning of this? Is it like matchy matchy siggies to let us know you all are a posse and we aren't one, and should therefor cry ourselves to sleep? Is there some sort of constable monitoring the usage of santa hats and yelling out "NO HAT FOR YOU!" to those that do not belong? What would happen if I made an Alot wearing a santa hat? Or is it just to signify your joy for this time of year? Or perhaps to annoy Nenni with your commercial Christianity? I'm dying to know. Really.
DT members wearing Santa Hats
"Daria and Mada, boo, your scrooges."
We wore santa hats last year. this year it's all about the hannukah armadillo. That's where it's at.

But enought about DT Megz, how are you? I haven't seen you in forever?
Yeah, I took a big break. First day back and all, getting the feet wet again. Overall, things are pretty good - how have you been?
I like turtles.
I'm getting in on this late, but yeah, there was a thread offering a santa hat to any poster who wanted one. It wasn't some exclusive thing. I'm not quite sure who is in "the clique", and this is the first I've heard of "the c-squad". I'm quite interested.
"Sometimes, when people get what they want, they realize how limited their dreams really were"-- Joan Holloway ~Mad Men~
"A squad. C squad. Is there a B squad? I think the B squad might be my speed."
That's so Betty Finn of you.
This thread is a weird college flashback of how all the seniors who were graduating in my sorority worried about the state of the latest pledge class.
Amazingly enough life went on.
Pickle haters unite!

SQL Server can perform point-in-time restores using the STOPAT argument. In what time zone is that date and time value?
- Is it UTC?
- Is it local for the server the backup was taken?
- Is it local for the server the backup is restored?
SQL Server can perform point-in-time restores using the STOPAT argument. In what time zone is that date and time value?
Short Answer: From when the backup was taken
I actually wasn't sure of the answer, so I just made a database, put it in full recovery model, took a full backup, did some work (create a couple tables named after the time I created them) and then started restores. Restored the full and then attempted to apply the log backups.
When I did that I had to specify the time zone from when the changes were made - from when the backup was taken. If I tried to use the new time zone's setting, it errored - bad timing.
So the answer to your question in my experience with SQL Server 2012 and 2008R2 - appears to be "The local time from when the backup was taken"
This backs up my expectation before testing. The way the log records are written and the way the backups are taken - that makes sense.
That said - I can't imagine a ton of situations where the time zone is changing with the need to worry about point in time recovery?
Agree with Mike that its a good question and +1 for that.
Mike has answered your question. Out of curiosity, I tried to confirmed that using an undocumented (but widely used) function

How to Make a Rope Halter
August 28, 2012
Follow these easy steps to create your own knotted rope halter for horses.
Practical and inexpensive, rope halters are a time-honored tradition for many horsemen and a wonderful training tool.
Have you ever wondered how to make a rope halter for horses?
Two experts at Columbia Basin Knot Company shared with The American Quarter Horse Journal their 34-step process for making a quality homemade rope halter. In our How to Make a Rope Halter report, each step includes a full-color photo to help guide you through the process.
Here's Step 1 of creating your very own rope halter:
When tying halters for the first time, use 22 to 25 feet of rope. Once you become proficient, you can make a halter with about 20 feet of rope. Take your piece of rope and fold it in half. At the center point, tie a simple overhand knot. Snug the knot up. Then to the left of the knot, tie another simple overhand knot. Now you have two simple overhand knots. The knots should be 11 inches from the middle of one knot to the middle of the other knot. Adjust the knots until they are 11 inches apart, and tighten them up. Then take the rope and fold it with the two overhand knots together.
In this valuable report, you'll master the fiador knot and understand how to cut and whip the rope with a soldering iron or rope cutting gun.
Making your own rope halter will be a rewarding experience. We look forward to hearing how this free report helped you enjoy your horses just a little more! Be sure to use the comments feature to let us know.
"I have tied rope halters for years. In those years, we have seen several methods of doing it. Some of those methods were very crude! These directions are very much the same as mine, plainly stated and simple to follow.
Now when someone wants me to teach them, I can say 'Go to americashorsedaily.com, and download the free instructions.' Good job!"
Neva Christensen
Good luck making your own rope halter!

Celebrating John Bellairs
Sweet Fidgeta, deliver us!
We're celebrating fifty years since the publication of Saint Fidgeta and Other Parodies and a half-century of John Bellairs as the famous author.
Forging Fidgeta (1965) | Fidgetine Miracles (1966) | Posts | Reviews
The Gargoyle in the Dump
The Gargoyle in the Dump is a recently discovered, never-before-published 24-page story by John Bellairs. The adventure tells the tale of Michael, David, and Alphonsus Jr. (aka Fonsy) who are spending the summer trying to blow up the town dock and playing marathon Monopoly games. On the brink of death-by-boredom, they head to the local dump in search of treasures but instead find the head of a grinning stone gargoyle with shifty eyes and a long snout. The fun arrives September 2015 from Open Road Media.
Meet Brad Strickland
Keeping the faith alive for 20 years, Brad Strickland is the author or co-author of over 60- novels, short fiction pieces, and poetry. After the death of John Bellairs, Strickland was approached to complete four books and went on to write the further adventures of Johnny Dixon and Lewis Barnavelt. He keeps busy writing outside of New Zebedee, too: from pirates and astronauts to terrifying detectives and detecting terriers.
The Books, The Covers, and The Collectors
It's been a topic of discussion ever since Dial Publishers chose Edward Gorey to illustrate John's books (about 30 years, by our count): where do I find hardcover editions that feature the wrap-around dust-jackets with art created by Gorey? The Internet has made tracking such things down easier but it can still be a tricky hunt, especially when it comes to knowing how much to spend. We have book collecting resources to let you know what you've found and a discussion group dedicated to your questions – complete with many answers.
High Fantasy and Low Parody
Magic Mirrors (2009) contains Bellairs' three books from the 1960s - Saint Fidgeta and Other Parodies (1966); The Pedant and the Shuffly (1968); and The Face in the Frost (1969) - plus an incomplete seven-chapter sequel to The Face in the Frost, entitled The Dolphin Cross.
John Bellairs Mural
Downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts is where you'll find artist Shelia Foley's John Bellairs Mural, a seven-by-three foot mural created to look like the stained glass windows of Canterbury Cathedral and is part of that city's revitalized downtown area.
The books of John Bellairs and Brad Strickland have long had their fans and over the years we here at Bellairsia have heard from many of them: up-and-coming authors and illustrators as well as musicians, book collectors, teachers, historians, film makers, and web designers. The boisterous and enthusiastic outburst from John's fans is what we call Fandæmonium (rhymes with "Pandæmonium."

The Unwonted Artiste, Edward Gorey
Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was the most popular illustrator of John Bellairs' books, as well as a well-known author and illustrator in his own right. Gorey's bizarre stories and macabre black-and-white illustrations reflected an elegantly morbid sense of humor in books, on television, and on the stage.
John Bellairs Walk
Established in 1830 and expected to become the state's capital, Marshall, Michigan has become one of America's largest historic districts. Resident and Bellairs fan Ann LaPietra researched a walking tour of Bellairs' hometown and how it was transformed into memorable locations from his books.

About Connect
What is Connect magazine?
Connect is a general-business monthly magazine for the Utah business community. Connect offers an inside look at the regional economic landscape and the people driving its development. Connect profiles innovative companies and businesspeople with ties to Utah so you are aware of the major players in the region. Connect provides regular hands-on articles and advice columns from local professionals on a variety of topics to help you do your job better.
A good example is a recent article that we did on a local store that sells all sorts of gift baskets. They had a brick and mortar store with their packaging plant next door. Hiring and then training local people, this gift basket store was slowly expanding once their online store began to rank high in the search for gift baskets. Their story was impressive since they has started their business in the living room of their home only five years ago with clever baby gift baskets and spa gift baskets they created themselves. But by optimizing their website using a technique known as "enterprise SEO", they managed to rank very high for searches of 'gift baskets' in all the search engines, including Google. SEO stands for 'search engine optimization' and enterprise SEO is kind of the high powered version of this new strategy, where the emphasis is on identifying the most valuable keywords for the business, and focusing on those terms. Now the store is offering gourmet gift baskets filled with goodies made by other local small businesses, wine baskets with wines from around the US as well as Europe, as well as occasion gift baskets for anniversaries, birthdays, congratulations, get well, sympathy, thank you and thinking of you. Their buyers work with other local businesses to utilize their products as much as possible. In an innovative move, they contacted floral shops throughout Utah to work out arrangements whereby their online store would offer fresh flowers and the local florists nearest to the order would fill the order and deliver the flowers.
We admire this company's sense of community and wrote several articles about them. We also did related companion pieces with advice on how to create your own gift baskets as presents to friends and family, as well as a column about creating gift baskets to auction off at school or event fund raisers. Since it is easy to personalize a gift basket for a particular recipient, it makes a particularly memorable gift for both children and adults.
An update on our featured gift basket store:
They are now moving into corporate gift baskets with particularly stunning offerings.

Nyan Nyan Cat Shoes by pixiekittyWatch
©2012-2016 pixiekitty
omg. These shoes. THESE SHOES!!!!! Best two days spent EVER. They started out as plain black heels, and ended up like this. It's multiple little images I printed out and sealed to the shoe with Modge Podge, then added the cute little ribbon accents and painted the soles with nail polish Quite possibly THE cutest thing I have ever made! Nyan Nyan Nyanko happiness! One shoe is full of desserts, the other is dinner and lunch foods! Thanks to Zan for posting the idea! It's so much fun! [link]
I am taking commissions on these shoes with any style of your choice.
I am taking commissions on these shoes with any style of your choice.
Oh my gosh, these are cute! So cute! XD I'm guessing you could definitely make a small fortune, doing things like this. So so so so adorable!
Thanks! Oh my, that would be awesome if people end up wanting to order them! They were a lot of fun to make. I'll probably make a post about it this weekend after I wear them out and test them!
If I didn't have "too big for most womens shoes" feet, and the funds to do so, I'd totally order a pair. They really are darling! Reminds of some of the novelty pieces I acquried at my first convention. LoL.
If you ever want a pair, you can always send me a pair of shoes to alter so you will be sure they'd fit
Maybe one day ^^ It's rare I ever buy shoes XD Been rocking the same sneakers for 3 years now, and only bought my dress wedges, because I needed stuff for business events in the summer. I'll definitely keep you in mind, the next time I can buy without guilt, and need to add a little pizazz!
As a cosplayer with over 50 pairs of shoes NOT related to cosplay (my closet is a wreck) ---- this is inspiring. *o*
It's SO much fun! I would probably enjoy doing this made to order for people. I normally hate the idea of that, but I enjoyed designing these! You should effeminately try it out, I think you'd come up with some awesome shoes!
those are awesome!

On Aug. 11, 2014, Robin Williams was found dead in his home in Tiburon, Calif., of an apparent suicide. He was 63. According to the Associated Press: The sheriff's office in California's Marin County "said a preliminary investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide due to asphyxia." Williams reportedly had a long history of battling depression and substance abuse. He was open about the fact that he spent time in rehab for addictions to alcohol and cocaine.
Williams (who attended the famed performing-arts school) Juilliard) first found fame in the late 1970s as the star of the sitcom "Mork & Mindy," where his manic, rapid-fire comedic style became his trademark. He then segued into starring roles in movies, mostly in comedies. Williams won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a rherapist in the 1997 drama "Good Will Hunting." His other well-known movies over the years included "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Good Morning, Vietnam," "One Hour Photo," "Hook," "The World According to Garp," "Patch Adams," "Awakenings," "The Fisher King," ''Dead Poets Society," "Moscow on the Hudson," "Old Dogs," "Popeye," and "What Dreams May Come."
Several of Williams' last movies are scheduled for release in 2014 or 2015, including the animated film "Absolutely Anything" (release date to be announced), the comedy "Merry Friggin' Christmas" (which arrives in U.S. and Canadian cinemas on Nov. 7, 2014) and the action-adventure "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" (in U.S. and Canadian theaters on Dec. 19, 2014). Williams also completed the indie drama "Boulevard," which premiered at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival and does not have a distributor but will likely get a distributor in the wake of Williams' death. The dark comedy "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn" was released in May 2014.
During his long career, Williams won numerous awards, including two Emmys for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program: for 1988's "ABC Presents: A Royal Gala" and for 1987's "Carol, Carl, Whoopi and Robin." He was also honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2005 Golden Globe Awards.
Williams was also known for his stand-up comedy. In 2003, he won a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy album, for "Robin Williams — Live 2002." In theater, he co-starred with Steve Martin in the 1988 off-Broadway revival of "Waiting for Godot." In 2002, he did the play "Robin Williams: Live on Broadway," and in 2011, he starred in the Broadway production of "Rajiv Joseph's Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo."
In 2013, Williams returned to starring in a sitcom with the show "The Crazy Ones" (which featured an episode that reunited him with his former "Mork & Mindy" co-star Pam Dawber), but the show was cancelled after one season.
Williams' widow, Susan Schneider (his third wife, whom he married in 2011), released this statement: "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken.
"On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."
Williams has three children from two previous marriages, which ended in divorce: Zachary "Zak" Pym (born in 1983), from his marriage to first wife Valerie Velardi; Zelda Rae (born in 1989) and Cody Alan (born in 1991) from his marriage to second wife Marcia Garces. Williams was married to Velardi from 1978 to 1988. His marriage to Garces lasted from 1989 to 2008.
Here are statements released by celebrities after the death of Williams:
Barack Obama: "Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien — but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit."
Pam Dawber: "I am completely and totally devastated. What more can be said?"
Steven Spielberg: "Robin was a lightning storm of comic genius and our laughter was the thunder that sustained him. He was a pal and I can't believe he's gone."
Steve Martin: "I could not be more stunned by the loss of Robin Williams, mensch, great talent, acting partner, genuine soul."
John Travolta: "I've never known a sweeter, brighter, more considerate person than Robin. Robin's commitment as an artist to lifting our mood and making us happy is compared to none. He loved us all and we loved him back."
Jay Leno: "I saw him on stage the very first time he auditioned at the Improv and we have been friends ever since. It's a very sad day."
Chris Columbus: "We have lost one of our most inspired and gifted comic minds, as well as one of this generation's greatest actors. To watch Robin work, was a magical and special privilege. His performances were unlike anything any of us had ever seen, they came from some spiritual and otherworldly place. He truly was one of the few people who deserved the title of 'genius.'"
Jimmy Kimmel: "Robin was as sweet a man as he was funny. If you're sad, please tell someone."
Harvey Fierstein: "Robin was friend, boss, brother, inspiration. His generosity and intelligence knew no limits."
John Cusack: "A big tenacious overflowing hyperkinetic eruption of compassion would be (the) best tribute to Williams."
Aug. 14, 2014 update: Williams' widows Schneider released this statement: "Robin spent so much of his life helping others. Whether he was entertaining millions on stage, film or television, our troops on the frontlines or comforting a sick child – Robin wanted us to laugh and feel less afraid. His greatest legacy, besides his three children, is the joy and happiness he offered to others, particularly those fighting personal battles.
"It is our hope in the wake of Robin's tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid."

Daily News 'Gatecrasher' Columnist Hired by Hollywood Life
Laura Schreffler will join Bonnie Fuller's new website venture.
Hollywood Life creator Bonnie Fuller, who recently hired gossip writer Corynne Steindler away from "Page Six," has added another tabloid columnist to her talent roster. Laura Schreffler, a former OK! staffer who recently left her post as head writer for the Daily News' "Gatecrasher" column, will now be the West Coast bureau chief of Fuller's new website venture. Amanda Sidman, Schreffler's deputy, is currently helming the Daily News column — a two-page spread that replaced their long-term "Rush & Molloy" column in December 2008.
Fuller, a magazine powerhouse who has run titles like Flare, YM, Marie Claire, Cosmo, Glamour, Us Weekly, and Star, will launch the renewed Hollywood Life this fall as a news and entertainment site with a women's style focus. She says she's hiring a mix of old and new media types to flesh out her team. "We've really been trying to hire a mix," she explained, pointing to Executive Editor Will Lee as an example of someone with experience straddling multiple platforms, having formerly worked at TV-and-web shop TMZ. Currently, the Hollywood Life West Coast office, which will eventually have three or four members, is smaller than the New York headquarters, where Fuller herself is based. "Hollywood isn't necessarily just a physical location, it's more of a psychological state of mind," she told Intel. "There's an enormous amount of celebrities here in New York, many of the biggest stories in the last couple of months have been in New York. DJ AM, for example, and David Letterman. We even have a celebrity president now, and a celebrity First Lady!"
