While
nudity in some cases was beautiful, my not wanting to see a woman with a large
backside in a thong one piece do a butt dance on Facebook. It was in my
newsfeed . After reporting this in January, they informed me that the image did
not violate their guidelines at the time.
Google
was a little different. Not only were they to relocate those blogs with
sexually explicit photo and video
content, they were to have removed pictures that the user didn’t have a right
to. This extended to my WordPress blogs too because the same
effect date of March 23 was seen there last month.
One
shouldn’t have assumed that a Google image of anybody was fair game.
A watermark was similar to the trademark
symbol and protected the author’s rights to use them. Granted, at least two of
the images used on my Hot Topics blog of Julia Roberts and her husband were removed a few
times.
Three
days later, they reversed their rigid decision and cracked down on those that
sold pornography via their blog site. This by no means allowed me to use nude
pictures of Kim Kardashian, even if she did approve them. After seeing her and
Kanye’s photos in the buff, it was in my best interest to remain discreet. Both
had a tendency to push the boundaries of common decency just for publicity purposes.
In 2014,
Blogger removed sites containing pornographic ads on them and the year before,
it stopped showing pornographic ads on them. With my Busy Bee Classified section, pornographic sites were not
allowed because most if not all of the sites used by me to circulate that link
did not allow that sort of thing. They would remove my link and suspend my
account as a consequence.
There were some bad
things heard of by me before, but this was beyond a disgrace. Frankly, I am
glad the parent of this fraternity had it declared inactive for its behavior
was intolerable. Not only did they
destroy resort property, they refused to own up to the trouble caused. It might
have destroyed the trust of this and all other fraternities that use ski
resorts honestly.
Didn’t they read the
student handbook when they became students of that university? Surely, there
was a section on a student’s code of conduct on and off campus? At least, they
encouraged incoming freshmen to thoroughly read that section when I was an
undergraduate. As part of a fraternity or sorority, the behavior of those in
public should have been reserved and refined even more than regular standards.

In a statement by Leland
Manders, executive director, said:
"It
is regrettable that these vandals, as well as the officers of the chapter,
decided that avoiding personal accountability and/or university sanctions took
priority over the welfare of the entire chapter; their lack of cooperation led
to the university's withdrawal of recognition of the entire chapter for a
four-year period. Sigma Alpha Mu worked in cooperation with university
officials and regretfully agreed with their request to close the chapter,"
Apparently, according
to another article, members of Sigma Alpha Mu were placed on alumni
status, which meant that these members were not to be associated with any
other recognized chapter, didn’t have the rights given to those of
undergraduate status, and were not eligible for SAMs scholarships. Sigma Delta Tau, their sister sorority, got a
two-year suspension for their part in this out of control action.
In my opinion, blaming
the parent would’ve been inert at this point. By the time these young people
enter college and have gotten to the point where they were members of sororities
or fraternities, they should’ve known how
to behave. Damaging someone else’s property was a felony. In addition to these suspensions, further
charges might have been filed after the police completed their investigation.
If the parent were me, my child would participate in the payment of the repairs
to those 45 rooms without my help.
OU: Fallout from racial chant continues
Apparently, our nation still had a long way to go if something as ignorant as a racist chant was allowed to be filmed and sent to African Americans on campus. Of course, I am echoing some words spoken by Whoopi Goldberg for the second time in three months.
Here’s what has happened so far:
·
The Oklahoma chapter of SAE
was boarded up an all were told to vacate by midnight Wednesday, The letters
were removed also.
·
Two
students were expelled over the incident.
·
Parker Rice was identified as one of ring
leaders of the racist chant. He had apologized
as of last night, but it wasn’t enough, even after his parents came to his
defense in an open
letter to the Dallas Morning News
1.
Because of this incident, other chapters
of SAE were being investigated. It reportedly happened in a university
chapter in Louisiana.
The Oklahoma chapter of SAE had zero
tolerance for this kind of action. Even the president of the college had
some strong words in his tweet .
It was also condemned by the local
chapter at Midwestern State University. As an alumnus, I applaud this. One
never knew about people until they’ve had too much alcohol and a video was
being recorded. Like the university and
the parent of the student who wrote an open apology, this was appalling
behavior. It was not what SAE stood for.
“Real Sooners are
not bigots, real Sooners are not racist.”
Below was another reaction:
Former OU and Dallas Cowboys head coach Barry
Switizer, who is also an SAE member, released a statement Tuesday
supporting the university's decisions.
“While I support the University of Oklahoma and SAE’s decision
to pursue swift actions, this situation is unfortunate for the many innocent
people involved. As a longtime supporter of the University and member of the
SAE chapter, I know the majority of our students don’t condone or participate
in bigotry. These incidents are not a reflection of the true spirit of our
campus," Switzer said. "I hope that we can begin to heal the wounds
by avoiding rhetoric that fuels the fire and instead spend more time thinking
about how we can collectively create positive relationships and interactions among
our campus family.“
“It hurts me because I’ve got a vested
interest in this. As I said I’m an SAE and I know the kids in this house, I
spend some time over here and I know what they’re like. Hey, I wouldn’t put up
with that crap either and they don’t either and they don’t believe in it.”
Three in the buff
It was only Tuesday and there were a lot of posts on Yoboogle that seemed just crazy. The ironic thing was that they all centered around one theme: nudity. One did it to sell
My parents, my doctor, and my future husband were the only
ones allowed to see my nude body at any time. Granted, with as many doctor visits I’ve had
in the last few years, removing my clothes before the examination was somewhat
of a touchy situation. They still make one remove the shoes, the skirt and the
nylons when wearing a dress.
Kim Kardashian explained, in one of her interviews,
that her body would’ve changed upon carrying child . Apparently, she wanted her
body image before then to last forever. My mother told me any kind of ‘exposure’ by
her or any other Kardashian female sold because it was sexual. The public loved it. No sooner was the video
posted of her nude body, then four people clicked on the link. Demi Moore posed
nude while she was pregnant
in 1991 and received a lot of flack from it. Like Kim Kardashian, she couldn’t
keep her clothes on either. Kim had more pictures of herself in the buff to
look at because she also posed nude for Paper
and Love magazines.
Kim Karashian might have been wiser not to expose herself so
much. Even though she would’ve loved to keep pictures of her body before her
second pregnancy, the sex tape with Ray J was still out there in digital format
as were these pictures. To me, I seemed that Ms. Kardashian , like Linda Blair,
was overexposed.
In the case of this second story, one person removed her clothes
outside a Greenacres
Dunkin Donuts on a dare and got arrested for indecent exposure. The story went on to explain that this was
done as a pledge to some dance troop. Where she pledged to remained unknown at
the time the story was published. Even though Shakara Monik Martin was offered something
to wear several times and refused, she changed her mind after the cops appeared
in the establishment. She was charged in court this morning and released.
What was the purpose of stripping naked on a dare? This
sounded more like a college hazing incident than a pledge to some unnamed dance
troop. Hazing was illegal on both college campuses in Wichita Falls. Penalties were
severe for this too. One only needed to read the student handbook. Now Ms.
Martin had a police record on top of everything else.
This last story was sad, because efforts to stop this nude
man from charging the officer that confronted him reportedly acting strange, knocking
on doors and crawling on the ground, was shot
and killed. According to this story, the unarmed man might have suffered a
mental illness. This came on the heels of the violent protests in Ferguson Missouri
and New York last year and the protests in Chicago area after an unarmed
African American youth was killed. This
incident wasn’t any easier to take because of the mental illness. According to
the Huffington Post, this was the
third African –American shot there in as many weeks.
This blogger wondered what was to happen next week.
New hairdo on Kim Kardashian looked great!
The new hairdo on Kim Kardashian looked great! My boss
wanted something on my blog about the them for weeks. Well he finally got it.
Personally it was better to have written about their faces and fashion rather
than their “well-endowed” posteriors. She wanted a change.
In all truthfulness, I had to do a little research on this
family and how it became famous. It appeared their father, Robert
Kardashian , a lawyer for O.J.
Simpson, defended him in his murder
trial of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown
Simpson. It was nice to know that the family was moving on in spite of Olympic
star, Bruce Jenner’s gender
reassignment, in which they all rallied around him in support of it.
That said, Kim Kardashian admitted in one of her interviews
for an entertainment magazine that she had to get laser hair r emoval for her
forehead. Most of the time, they had to be air brushed after a photo shoot. She
had according to an article on the
E website “the hairiest forehead ever”.
The last time she changed her hair color was almost two
years ago. It wasn’t to last though because she wore a wi g. Here’s why this
color hair looked great on her:
·
As a platinum blonde, she would easily pass for Draco
Malfoy’s (Tom Felton) aunt or even his mother. She
was unseen in the Harry Potter movies.
·
She even was able to star in a movie of her own
with that hair color. Maybe another type of sorceress.
I think it looked neat. It’s nice to see Kim do something
not so controversial too. Maybe I should try auburn highlights…hmm.
No cl
Was Obama a 'puppet' of his own administration?
There were some people
in Congress that just didn’t get it. What did they think would happen if Iran
were allowed to remain a nuclear power? Most of these negotiations being
discussed were great, but Iran still wasn’t dismantling their nuclear weapons.
All that was needed was a little more
than enough tension like the Cuban
Missile Crisis of 1962 for someone on either side of the Atlantic to have
an excuse in using the red button.
Both parties knew that
President Obama needed their approval before he acted on situations like Iran
and the crisis in the Ukraine. It seemed that the Russian Prime Minister also
knew there wouldn’t be any approval without a major concession made by Obama.
Both sides wanted him to dismantle ObamaCare.
Even though my
membership was elsewhere, to dismantle this progam would disenfr anchise those
that depended on that type of care to survive. The response by those that want
to take away the above program gave an a remark: for them to have gone
to the emergency room. Before two of the
three hospitals in my area merged, there was a notice on the wall that told
patients that the hospital turned away those without insurance. They usually
asked before someone was treated at the ER or clinic. This weeded out those
without insurance.
According to Secretary
of State, John Kerry, Netanyahu didn’t get
a
positive response from his speech because:
1.
Nobody
gave a clear plan that actually stopped Iran from getting nuclear weapons, Forcing
them to agree to a list of demands didn’t work.
2.
None
of the P5+1 partners would support the U.S. with that position.
Congress wan ted to
preview any legislation that made a pact with Tehran, but the president said he
would veto it because it would cause valuable time to have been wasted while it
was discussed in congressional committees. Right now, the House and Senate
didn’t have the number of votes they needed to counteract his veto power.
Will they reach an
agreement to make the United States appear stronger on the world stage? This
has been my hope since Barack Obama became president in 2008. This approval he
needed to take action proba bly wouldn’t have occurred without a major
catastrophe hitting America like September 11, 2001. I mean, the only thing
missing was the thirty page application as to the why behind the approval.
One of my friends online asked me what was wrong with our government. There were still people in
the government that did not like Obama as president, mostly Republicans and a
few Democrats. The moment he took the oath of office, they vowed to make it
harder for him to do his job. That meant any action Obama needed authorization
from congress for went with a concession he had to agree to, like dismantling
ObamaCare, or letting the Republicans in congress review any bill passed
concerning Iran.
According to Pat
Robertson on the 700 Club, the
president came off as nothing but a puppet of his administration. Before
Russian Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress, Obama
was given a list of 17 talking points in which he took his cues from courtesy
of a former campaign advisor. This makes my point as to why it was thought
Obama didn’t understand what was going on. Netanyahu
rebuked them for their non response. Yet one headline said the
prime minister used what remained of
their relationship to make his plea to the U.S.
There was some good
news though. With all these hurdles before him, Obama couldn’t get in trouble
by being impeached if he weren’t allowed to act. ObamaCare
was in th e hands of the Supreme Court. Their job was to interpret the law, not
formulate new government policy. Like the immigration
issue, it was a waiting game to see if the law was a rewrite.There were
stories on both s ides for and against the Russian plan. Now there is another
waiting game on the horizon.
Visa to replace American Express at Costco in April 2016
Costco
was to start accepting Visa credit cards in the place of American Express in
April of next year. This came on the heels of them dropping the pact with the
other credit card company. Citi was to also absorb the American Express Costco
card.
Currently, the store only allowed American Express cards and debit cards to purchase items in
the store and at its gas stations. It did however accept Visa and MasterCard
for purchases on their website.
Citibank had
all but abandoned my small town in Texas almost two years ago, closing most of its
major branches here in favor of cities like Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. They
wanted to focus on the larger markets. My mother told me six months ago there was still a Citibank open o n Southwest Parkway. Neither of us were able to use it.
This split
really hurt American
Express in that it had to find new markets in which to grow as new ways to
pay emerged on the scene. This was also affecting their competitors too. On
Visa and MasterCard, there were no yearly fees. On the Green, Gold and Purple
American Express cards, there were yearly fees. Because of the large amount
charged to my card last month, my pay over time was suspended last month until
the balance came down.
Costco, like
Sam’s, only accepted cash for those not having an in store card when purchasing
items. A card like this wasn’t needed by me at this time because shopping in
bulk was not necessary.
Media standards needed an oerhaul: Where were the consequence s for going too far?
What’s
with a ll these top notch reporters on major television shows ‘embellishing the
truth? Brian
Williams got a six month suspension from the NBC Nightly News anchor chair,
since taken over by Lester Holt. Bill
O’Reily was still suffering from his report on a JFK story. It appeared
that the audio refuted his earlier claims. What was this, a witch hunt?
In all
fairness, this blogger really did a 360 when it came to watching his show on
the Fox News Network. Being neither a Republican nor a fan of the network itself since his
bashing of the late Michael Jackson a few years back preferred to either change
the channel or turn off the TV altogether. My job as a blogger was to write how
I felt about certain situations without becoming too controversial. While it
was unfortunate that Brian
Williams preceded O’Reilly in the untruth department, he should face the
same penalty as Brian Williams.
Granted Bill
O’Reilly had been the loude st over his distaste of Jackson’s personality and
the media coverage of his death. There were major discussions in my former Sunday School Class over whether he was
a Christian,
being shunned by Jehovah Witnesses because of his ‘Thriller’
single from the famous album. Even after apologizing for the video in Awake
magazine, The Watchtower view was against spiritualism conflicted, he left that
church. As for my feelings about O’Reilly, were that his mouth would cause
trouble one day. He did this to himself, just like Williams and Rancic.
All of them took things too far. Two of
them lied and the other uttered a racial innuendo over Zendaya’s dreadlocks. The
media should have zero tolerance for these things just like plagiarism.
Before reporting
the news became an almost anything went media, news anchors and entertainers
before O’Reilly and Rancic, people that
were top officials in their field had a sense of right and wrong. The stories
reported by them were checked and recheck for accuracy without the blasting a
person, lying and// racial slurs. They only filmed for the news reels and
television broadcasts. O’Reilly and Guiliana Rancic should face some punishment
as yet to be determined. Their rung on the entertainment ladder didn’t matter.
A tale of two phone versions: The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge images leaked
Another version of the
Samsung Galaxy S6 was due out this coming week. According
to reports from a verified source, there won’t be one version, but two styles
of the phone. With all its flaws, my obtaining the Galaxy S3 was something of a
blessing. Two years ago, Verizon sold my version and everything above starting
at $250. Having seen the his phone when my brother came for Christmas last year
was even better only if the extra
features were needed. Imagine having two
versions from which to choose?
That
was exactly what users were to get when they pre-registered for the phone,
according to a R eddit
post from someone identified as ‘a verified worker’ from Sprint. The choice
was to have been made through a screen shot of ei ther the S6 or S6 Edge. There
were differences
between the two phones other than the name of course. The S6 had the usual front
screen similar framework. The S6 Edge was somewhat bent on the opposite ends.
It will have the tagline ‘six appeal’ at the T-Mobil e
site.
Apparently,
sales of the Samsung Galaxy S5 hadn’t sold very well mainly because it was
similar to t he previous S4. The company was hoping to regain their losses with
these two newer versions of the S6. My brother’s Galaxy
Note Edge looked like the old pocket
calculator with the case included.
My
Galaxy S3 was part of my life. It kept up with my appointments, when using the
calendar, it allowed me to play games, and keep up with friends and page
activity on social media. My sister was concerned about there not being anything
in between my Nokia
6010 and the smart phone used by me now. A lot of people were still using
it. It was almost like it had always been with me. Like the two new Galaxy S6
and S6 Edge, It was sure to become the sales hit for Samsung.
Today was a
sad day because Leonard Nimoy had passed away this morning at age 83. Last week,
it was reported that the actor/director was rushed to the hospital with severe
chest pains. As a fan of the original Star
Trek series with William Shatner, my siblings and I would watch the show
every afternoon at 4 p.m. My brother wouldn’t miss it. Its five year mission barely lasted three.
Mr. Spock
made my brother and I laugh, first with the Vulcan
Salute, which did hurt worse as one got older. And secondly with the
Vulcan Nerve Pinch, which would make me howl in pain because of my sore
shoulders if it were done now. In one of
his earlier interviews with a televisio n magazine, Leonard Nimoy explained how
it was created and why. He hated violence. He also amazed me with his vast
knowledge both as Spock on the show and in real life.
Getting into
his costume for filming meant that his ears had to have been pinned back to fit
the pointed pro sthetic ears and his eyebrows shaped. That couldn’t have been
comfortable to him. Some of his other achievements were the 1980’s hit,” Three Men and a Baby”
and the sequel, “Three Men and a
Little Lady” according to The
Guardian. Before that, I enjoyed his hosting duties on “In
Search of”, my being a mystery buff.
Leonard
Nimoy now joined his cast mates James Doohan, (Scotty ) Deforest Kelly (Bones)
and the series creator, Gene Roddenberry, on the memorial wall. He did "Live long and prosper" Shalom, my friend.
Another
mouth was in trouble over a racist comment. I grow weary of the racism topic. I
am glad action was being sought because of it though. What happened with Guiliana Rancic ‘s comment about Zendaya’s hair at the
Oscars Sunday night was that it was inappropriate and uncalled for.
There were
two reasons people uttered racial slurs:
1. They actually didn’t realize they
were doing it
2. They knew and didn’t care
Obviously,
this anchor started out not caring until there was a social media backlash about
it. Ms.
Capel didn’t know the word she used
was a racial slur. In the case of the more mature anchor, Rancic really
should have known better. Whatever happened to not saying anything if one
couldn’t ha ve said something nice? Remember what the wise owl in Bambi
told Thumper?
In the Bible,
the mouth was used to edify, build up, or tear down. Racial slurs meant to tear
down certain groups of people which not only showed a flaw in t he person’s
character, it also forever left a bad mark on them, even after their attempts
to make it right. In this case, both anchors have a trail back to their
mistakes this week. The apology won’t make this go away over night.
The Ironic
thing was that Ms. Rancic also made a comment in reference to Zendaya smoking
weed. Sheesh! Didn’t this woman ever sto p? I applaud Kelly Osbourne’s rant on Twitter.
Even though she threatened to leave Fashion
Police over this and the comment above apparently Rancic
made an apology for this too.
Unfortunately,
this might have came too late. Her mouth may hav e gotten her in trouble with
her network bosses. The show that Guiliana
Rancic co-hosts with a few other people want her fired over all the bad
press from her unkind words. There was forgiveness from Kelly Osbourne and Zendaya,
but the producers of the show were known for playing hardball and might fire
her anyway as of yesterday.
At least Ms
Capel got a three day suspension for her racist comment. Her apology wasn’t enough. I agree with this
punishment and what happens to Guiliana Rancic as well.
Aguilera, Fallon impressions were side-splittingly funny
Imitation was the sincerest form of flattery at least, that was how the
old saying went. It made me laugh to hear Aguilera’s version of The Folger’s
jingle as s ung by Cher “This Little Piggy” as sung b y Britney Spears, and "The
Golden Girls" theme as sung by Shakira. Jimmy Fallon’s version of ‘Itsy Bitsy
Spider’ as sung by Michael
McDonald and “You’re a Grand old Flag” as sung by David Bowie had me
laughing so hard I was aching. Jimmy
Fallon was just as funny as his predec essors.
Since my computer only worked in Safety Mode With Networking, listening
to music or watching videos had to have been done by smart phone. Fallon’s
Wheel of Impressions were side-splittingly funny. The y were sick e nough to
survive hard times but not enough to be admitted t o an insane asylum.
In all fairness, watching the Tonight Show wasn’t really on my
list of top priorities. Watching the show with Johnny
Carson wasn’t allowed, my being too young. Jay
Leno was funny enough but only when there was someone on that I knew. The
sad part about this was that now that I was old enough to watch, I’m falling
asleep thirty minutes after the show started.
This blogger can’t wait to see the next attempt at this segment. It was
sure to become a staple of “The Tonight Show” for years to come.
Anchor's racial slur derogatory toward African-Americans
Well one couldn’t please eve
Even though her red gloves raised
eyebrows with the ball gown she wore, the racial slur, jigaboo, uttered by a news
anchor had me concerned about weather hr job should have come int o q uestion. My
father always told me never to use words if their meaning weren’t known. Well
unlike Kristi Capel, this blogger looked up the word she used to describe Lady
Gaga’s music.
Jigaboo was defined as a contemptuous term
for a black person. It was meant to have been derogatory. As an anchor, Ms.
Capel had no excuse not to have known that word could’ve been offensive with
access to electronic dictionaries on smart phones and computers. If the music
sung by Lady Gaga was hated, it wasn’t always of the bl ack variety. The look on
her co-anchor’s face should’ve been a clue.
That word was as close to the n word that started many fights on school
playgrounds and buses.
After this
performance by the entertainer, musical theater should write a musical for her
to star in knowing she could handle the melody she sang. This may have been
Lady Gaga’s ‘audition’ to try something new. Maybe the Ms Gaga wanted to try
acting the part of the title she carried on her stage name instead of being
rude and impolite, like she was known for too.
All that was
meant was, Ms Capel should’ve thought before she spoke that racial slur. If one
wasn’t sure they should look it up. Then she wouldn’t have needed to have made an
apology.
Standing firm in the face of adversity: Monique's stand for Integrity
Everyone
who was anyone was going to watch the Oscars this weekend. Once again, controversy
made press. This time, there was no rushing the stage crying foul. This had to
do with an actress’s treatment because of her refusal to campaign for their
award. That’s what Mo'Nique claimed in her recent interview.
Apparently,
because she didn’t promote the movie” Precious”, her director blackballed her
for being tacky and difficult after winning hr 2010 Oscar for Best Support ing Actress. She was not happy because this incident by that director had caused
her to be passed over in favor of others when trying to secure other movie
roles.
Was
it because she appeared on the show dressed similar to Hattie
McDaniel, the first African-American actress to win an Oscar on the 75th
anniversary of it? Not nece ssarily. Her e’s what Lee
Daniels had to say in response:
“Mo'nique is a creative force to be
r eckoned with. Her demands through Precious were not always in line with the campaign. This soured her
relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and
will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on. However, the
consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way
with these roles.”
It looked to me like this ‘game’ Mo’Nique
was supposed to have played was of an implied nature. It was wrong to campaign
for an award that should’ve been won by merit, which she did, exactly
like Hattie McDaniel. If they, the Hollywood community knew Mo’Nique was ‘a
force to be reckoned’ with they should not have expected her to play the game
exactly as they wanted in the first place and use it to blacklist her. This five year grudge should be
forgotten. These parts she was being offered were only out of common courtesy.
She knew this. Today’s hot stars were yesterday’s has been. Hollywood was
fickle.
People like Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi
Goldberg had to fight for some of the roles they got too. Oprah’s weight was
probably a major reason why she was passed over in some roles. It was easily written
into the script in the movie “The Color Purple” At first, Goldberg was seen
more by the Hollywood community as a comedienne, not an actress. She fought for
the role in “Corinna, Corinna’, which was enjoyed by me.
This blogger stood by Mo’Nique because
of her integrity.
Movie Aquaman had a more muscular build and 'intimidating' look
The
new Aquaman photos looked awesome! As a fan of both Marvel and DC Comics, it was only a matter of time
before something like this came out. Granted my image of him was stuck in t he
1967 cartoon where he was clean cut. Until the Cartoon Network came out with new
animated series, he looked more kingly and muscular. Of course, Jason
Momoa’s pictures were awesome for the new movie, “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn
of Justice” Also, his character hadn’t lost his hand yet.
Snyder's Aquaman was different from the animated character because he didn’t
have blond hair nor was he in tights. The hair was longer and his face looked
like a man that wore his worries as a leader. Kings like presidents age. Just
look at Barack Obama’s pictures after he was first elected and the ones taken
of him recently. Obama was almost completely gray.
Snyder’s version of this
character came from his more intimidated version of Superman.
This
movie had me excited enough to have gone to movie theater to watch. Two things
that c ould not have been known by anyone,
except the director, was the plot of
this new movie or its purpose. The threat would have to be revealed too for
cause to reactivate the original seven. Would Aquaman unite the seven seas
because he was king or would he try to unite th e original
seven in The
Justice League? In 1960, they were: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash,
Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter. Anything was possible with this
fierce looking character.
Possible Treasures: Two new books by Dr. Seuss
As an avid fan of Dr. Seuss, it was exciting to have found out that there was a complete manuscript with full illustrations among his personal effects. New readers who loved pets and shopping for their favorites might enjoy this book, What Pet Should I Get?
The best thing about Dr. Seuss’s writing was that the sentences in most of the books read to me and by me were easy to read because they had a rhyme to them. Sometimes it made us laugh to hear the reader get tongue-tied in the ABC Book and The Foot Book.
Not to sound biased, but as a youngster, reading for me started with the Dick and Jane series my brother brought home from school. The short, choppy sentences were ok, but there was no rhyme and fun to them li ke the ones written by Seuss. The ABC book made my brother and me laugh, especially the rhyme on the last page.
What wasn’t owned in hardcover was seen on television in cartoon form like Horton Hears A Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Horton Hatches the Egg. The last one was a cartoon short directed by Bob Clampett, not Chuck Jones, in the 1940’s. It sounded and looked familiar to me. The ending of the cartoon was neat and spoke volumes.
Fans of this author would be pleased to know that not one, but two books were planned for publication by Random House, What Pet Should I Get?, out in July of this year, and another untitled work reported by Good Morning America today.
On Domestic Violence: There should be stiffer penalties for entertainers
Domestic violence was on the rise in
America. It was no longer kept behind closed doors. One didn’t have to have
been hit to be abused. It could start with disappointment, stress at work, or
financial difficulties. In the case of Ray J, his girlfriend,
Princess Love, beat him up last week for spendi ng the night at a strip club. Ray
J suffered broken ribs and an injured knee. She was arrested after the incident was
reported at their home in Louisiana. It must have been love between them
because he paid her bond and $10,000 lawyer fee.
Musicians
and actors should be held accountable for their behavior both on and off the
job like primary, secondary and college professors had a code of conduct in the
handbook. What they said and did reflected the record labels and television, movie
studios, and musical theater companies they work for. They already have this
for movie and television, but the record labels hadn’t caught on yet.
Not
too many people would have done this, love or not. Any man that put his hands
on me like that n eeded to be in jail until his arraignment. Most of the time,
abuse was similar to control. Men and women used this ta ctic to gain power over
their weaker mate. There was usually a
cycle of abuse involved where the abused became the abuser. The mean child that
picked on the \\mentally and
physically challenged at recess on the school playground or didn’t invite the
strange person to an ‘in’ party, grew up and did the same thing as an adult.
These people were self-centered, patronizing, conceited, and scared.
The
one thing that interested me was the triggers that set abusers off. My ne ighbor
drank, but no one had ever seen him drunk. His arguing with his significan t
other was loud enough to awaken me at any time of night. The cops were called
to my apartment complex because of him screaming, swearing, and her crying. As
part of a neighborhood watch, it was my duty to report these disturbances to
the police and apartment managers. They could’ve only followed through if there
were an actual apartment number on the police report in issuing a lease
violation. Three of those and they were evicted.
My
guess on the trigger part was it was a payday weekend where Monday was a
holiday. In the whole time of my reside nce here, there were blow ups but my
having to have had the c ops here was not neces sary until now. Usually some
other resident called. It was even more embarrassing to have had that incident
plastered all over the news. They went to the other side of the complex so they
wouldn’t have disturbe d me, but if the wind shifted just right, they could
still have been heard on that side. In the case of my neighbor, neither cop nor
female scared him. The police banged on his door and front window for twenty
minutes last night before he opened the door. He was still argumentative and
defensive, even after the cop threatened eviction. There was certainly denial
on my neighbor’s part about the length of time this went on or whether it
happened before. Evidently jail did.
Here
was what the Bible said about abuse:
Proverbs 21:9 - [It is] better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a
brawling woman in a wide house. (KJV)
RayJ would’ve been wiser to have remembered
this verse before deciding to spend
the night in a strip club.
1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the
things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
(KJV)
As
for my thoughts: If it weren’t for their status, Princess Love and Ray J
wouldn’t even have crossed my newsfeed if it were not for the beat down he
took. Of course, if P Love were an athlete, there would’ve been
stiffer penalties for the brawl. As for my neighbor next to me, it was hard to
tell what was to happen next.
Ordinarily, Nutella was one of my favorite go to snacks taken by the spoonful right from the jar. To hear that the creator, Michele Ferrero, died yesterday was a travesty. According to the report by Bing last night, he was the fifth largest confectioner behind such companies as Mars, Inc.
Nutella, extremely popular all over the world, came out of the need for cocoa during the war. Because of its shortage, other nut based PRODUCTS were used. In America, the spre ad was made with soy PRODUCTS, but traditionally it was made with sugar and palm oil. In Europe, specifically Italy, it couldn’t have been marketed as chocolate spread because it didn’t meet the standards for that. The company used 25 percent of the crop of hazelnut.
Here was what the Bible said about work:
23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. 25 For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. (ESV)

Even though he stayed out of any type publicity about his company, he remained a strong leader, never letting anyone but family in his business.

Breaking Barriers: Two that made their mark
There were two people that made history this week, Jamie
Brewer, who was to be the first woman with Down Syndrome to walk the runway
during fashion week in New York and Carmen Dell 'Orefice,
the first 83 year old supermodel to still be in the business. Why was
this so important? Because Jamie was a mentally challenged adult with talent
and looks to do so. Carmen Dell ‘Orefice
took a stand for age.
This excited me because a lot of people with this type of
challenge were stepping out. Not all were able to be models, but some went
further than their day programs and jobs in closed shops. A few on the high end
of this condition were even able to drive a car as discovered by me while
watching a news program as a teenager.
For some, like my physical therapist on base, found it difficult to
understand.
Most of the time some sort of group home or care facility
would be their destination, but not for one actress, named Andrea Fay Friedman, who appeared in
an episode of “Family
Guy” --a parody spoofing Sarah Palin’s son, Trig. Also, she appeared in an episode of “Law & Order : SVU”
as a special needs adult that got
pregnant When a news magazine did a story on her, it was discovered that she
drove a car.
After reading about Chris
Burke’s start in acting, he inspired me also after seeing him on “Life Goes
On” The role was made for him.
Ms. Dell 'Orefice admitted after so long in the business that
she was still navigating the manual on her job. Based on what was viewed by me,
it looked like there was no problem. Being realistic, about it assignments
start fading after a certain plateau was reached. Christie
Brinkley stopped modeling bathing suits at 38. Even though Linda
Evans was the new face at 40 in the 1980s, roles started to fade because Hollywood
was for the young. Like these women, my
mother is a very beautiful. To put labels like geriatric, old, or elder was an
offense to me and them.
It was awesome to see these people make a stand.
The Grammy's: They won their awards fairly
Did Sam
Smith and Beck possess the Midas touch?
Apparently, there was some magic in their songs, “Stay
With Me” and Morning
Phase. Smith’s won three of the four top awards at the Grammy’s: record, song, and artist of the year. The British singer –song writer ‘s career
only got started eight months ago. Beck’s career was a lot longer and there
were more albums too.
This could’ve been due to the use of social media as an
electronic resume. What was meant by that
was, instead of doing things the old fashioned way, sending the CD to radio stations,
many artists were placing their songs on YouTube,
Facebook, or Instagram.
This wasn’t the way Smith or Beck started. This blogger looked them
both up. These devices hadn’t hurt the road he traveled. If he weren’t serious about his craft, there
w ouldn’t have been any devotion to it.
How did they win their Grammies? They, Smith and Beck, must’ve struck a chord
with the voting committee. While it was clearer that Beyonce had the better
album, and her score with the committee w as slightly higher. Her song s were
strong enough, but there was no clear category to put her in. Was it a pop
album or R &B? Her album followed no standard rule for either category. Beck won because there wasn’t anyone else in
his category. Even though some of his
songs on the album up for honor were considered safe and lacking emotion, he
came by the award fairly.
This refutes Kanye West’s rude and unprofessionl r ush to and outburst on stage and afterwards in the media about the G rammy's 'respecting music'. All should've been thankful that he wasn't on the voting committe. It would have been biased and definitely prone to controversy becaus e of his favoritism towards Beyonce. I like her music also so there was no cut down intended.
Big Brother recording viewer's words through television?
Should people have a smar t tv in their home that included internet access? Only if they were smart enough to use the pop up function on it to erase the audio recording so it didn't allow third parties access to a private conversation or sensitive information. This was the scare that concerned purchasers of the new Samsung smart TVs.
Even on my smart phone, it alerted me to private information copied to the clipboard or videos recently viewed. Of course, it got erased. One of the apps on my phone was unliked by me because it bombarded me with a whole bunch of porno sites It ma de me mad trying to remove something not wanted on there in the first place. As a Christian woman, watching pornography was a sin because it was a type of fornication.
The statement by Samsung said:
"Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the DATAcaptured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognitio n,"
The best defense against any type of privacy issue was to frequently erase the spoken word from there. Turning it off would've prevented comp lete use of the voice recognition feature. This would've been treated like any other electronic device. Erasing one's history protected one against all types of hackers, not just those that breached passwords, One wouldn't use the same one if their computer were hacked, right?
Even though Samsung hadn't commente since making that statement two days ago, media was all over this comparing it to G eorge Orwell's 1984. Try Agenda 21 people, the n ews media had already started writing their own version of the truth.
Kanye's stunt at Grammys seen as 'no harm done'
Kayne
West’s stunt at the Grammys last night wouldn’t have went well if this were
done a few years ago. Beyonce was already an established artist. I won’t stand
on the side of what was fair. It wasn’t known how they picked the winners at
these award shows. Obviously, like the world of writing, it’s the sleeper hits
that get the most attention. This
blogger was shocked too finding out that Beck won for Album of the Year. No one complained much when Michael Jacks on won eight
Grammys in 1984. A few of his awards were gained from “Beat it” and the album, “Thriller”.
They just nick named it the Michael Jackson show.
As far as professionalism, both Beyonce and Beck showe d
their level of it when they both had nice things to say about this distraction.
Beyonce would’ve been forgiven for her stumble if she had. It might not have been so for Beck being the
newbie in this game. He agreed with
Kanye.
Rappers were notorious for their bad boy image anyway. Eminem
won for Best Rap Album of the year.
Social media rolled their eyes and threw up their hands because this was
done by someone who was not black. Skin color didn’t play a factor here. Elton John did some of the background vocals and music.
They performed it on the show.There were three reasons why he was unliked by me and one of the main reasons they t ried to put warning labels on suggestive al bum lyrics:
1.
Foul language
2.
Glorified domestic violence
3.
The drowning of a girlfriend thrown in a car at
the bottom of a lake
After all was said and done, Kanye’s rant was to go down in
history as a minor distraction. This too shall fade.
Squabbling continues over star's estate
Nothing showed the character of a family until someone
passed away and the will was read. The heirs of Robin Williams were in court
contesting the legal will of the late actor yesterday. One of the legal liabilities
was that the late actor was married three times. Right now, his heirs and wife were squabbling
over his personal possessions.
At the time of his death, Robin Williams had an updated will
which included money put aside for trusts, and a pre-nuptual in place. Will the
fighting over what remained of his belongings stop? Only the Alm ighty knew.
Here’s what was known by me. Texas law allowed a spouse
having a will so disposal of property and the like was left to the widow if there was none:
1.
Upon my father’s death in 1995, the bulk of his
estate went to my brother, the eldest child. That included the big freezer, the
blue cooler, and most of his jewelry.
2.
I only got a few clothing items that actually
still fit today, most of his computer equipment, and his social security benefits and a good chunk of his veterans benefits. Actually the amount went up
when his death was known.
3.
If my mother passes on, my brother still got the
bulk of her estate. Because there wouldn’t be anyone to help me here in Texas,
I would probably move closer to my family in Georgia. Being unable to drive or pay for the upkeep of
my mother’s house, it was only right that the eldest receive it. But the renter
should be able to pass the panel of three, credit, criminal, and employment
checks.
When my aunt passed in 2013, there was a big squabble over her
property in the Florida condo. Apparently, there were promises made but there
was nothing stated in the will, if there was one. A will lets people know th e deceased person’s
wishes. If the promise wasn’t placed in the will, one shouldn’t expect to
receive it. Now that #Bobbi Kristina was on life support, it
was unclear whether there was a will. She is only 21.
Remake of "Poltereist" offered new ways to scare using 3-D
As an avid fan of
the” Poltergeist” movies, this was an interesting situ ation that was only a rumor last
year. Well so was the remake of the “Omen” movie which did not hold a candle to the original film ed in the 1970’s
that starred Gregory Pec k. Sadly, this
version wasn’t to include the late Heather O’Rourke, who died before filming was completed on the
third installment. One was also to miss Zelda Rubenstein, Tangina, the seer, who “didn’t like
trick questions.”
With thi s update,
it was sure to add an electrical charge to one’s viewing. Like more scares in
3-D. It might be better wearing extra padding in case one watching this movie
was unable to hold their bladder. Li ke
the three originals, scare factor gave was what gave it charm. Don’t forget the closet light!
With all the new
electronic gadgets, like smart phones, smart televisions, iPads, and tablets,
it’s not just the regular television set that was the problem this time. Back
in 1982, people complained about the use of television as a babysitter. Now those gadgets might’ve been watching
their victims.
My smart phone was
acting weird enough. As long as the
light blinked blue purple, white, red, or green, it was just fine. After this movie, it might've ended up in the
trash. The trailer, a tea ser, was due to premiere this Thursday.
Jigaboo was defined as a contemptuous term
for a black person. It was meant to have been derogatory. As an anchor, Ms.
Capel had no excuse not to have known that word could’ve been offensive with
access to electronic dictionaries on smart phones and computers. If the music
sung by Lady Gaga was hated, it wasn’t always of the bl ack variety. The look on
her co-anchor’s face should’ve been a clue.
That word was as close to the n word that started many fights on school
playgrounds and buses.
After this
performance by the entertainer, musical theater should write a musical for her
to star in knowing she could handle the melody she sang. This may have been
Lady Gaga’s ‘audition’ to try something new. Maybe the Ms Gaga wanted to try
acting the part of the title she carried on her stage name instead of being
rude and impolite, like she was known for too.
All that was
meant was, Ms Capel should’ve thought before she spoke that racial slur. If one
wasn’t sure they should look it up. Then she wouldn’t have needed to have made an
apology.
St
Everyone
who was anyone was going to watch the Oscars this weekend. Once again, controversy
made press. This time, there was no rushing the stage crying foul. This had to
do with an actress’s treatment because of her refusal to campaign for their
award. That’s what Mo'Nique claimed in her recent interview.
Apparently,
because she didn’t promote the movie” Precious”, her director blackballed her
for being tacky and difficult after winning hr 2010 Oscar for Best Support ing Actress. She was not happy because this incident by that director had caused
her to be passed over in favor of others when trying to secure other movie
roles.
Was
it because she appeared on the show dressed similar to Hattie
McDaniel, the first African-American actress to win an Oscar on the 75th
anniversary of it? Not nece ssarily. Her e’s what Lee
Daniels had to say in response:
“Mo'nique is a creative force to be
r eckoned with. Her demands through Precious were not always in line with the campaign. This soured her
relationship with the Hollywood community. I consider her a friend. I have and
will always think of her for parts that we can collaborate on. However, the
consensus among the creative teams and powers thus far were to go another way
with these roles.”
It looked to me like this ‘game’ Mo’Nique
was supposed to have played was of an implied nature. It was wrong to campaign
for an award that should’ve been won by merit, which she did, exactly
like Hattie McDaniel. If they, the Hollywood community knew Mo’Nique was ‘a
force to be reckoned’ with they should not have expected her to play the game
exactly as they wanted in the first place and use it to blacklist her. This five year grudge should be
forgotten. These parts she was being offered were only out of common courtesy.
She knew this. Today’s hot stars were yesterday’s has been. Hollywood was
fickle.
People like Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi
Goldberg had to fight for some of the roles they got too. Oprah’s weight was
probably a major reason why she was passed over in some roles. It was easily written
into the script in the movie “The Color Purple” At first, Goldberg was seen
more by the Hollywood community as a comedienne, not an actress. She fought for
the role in “Corinna, Corinna’, which was enjoyed by me.
This blogger stood by Mo’Nique because
of her integrity.
Movie Aquaman had a more muscular build and 'intimidating' look
The
new Aquaman photos looked awesome! As a fan of both Marvel and DC Comics, it was only a matter of time
before something like this came out. Granted my image of him was stuck in t he
1967 cartoon where he was clean cut. Until the Cartoon Network came out with new
animated series, he looked more kingly and muscular. Of course, Jason
Momoa’s pictures were awesome for the new movie, “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn
of Justice” Also, his character hadn’t lost his hand yet.
Snyder's Aquaman was different from the animated character because he didn’t
have blond hair nor was he in tights. The hair was longer and his face looked
like a man that wore his worries as a leader. Kings like presidents age. Just
look at Barack Obama’s pictures after he was first elected and the ones taken
of him recently. Obama was almost completely gray.
Snyder’s version of this character came from his more intimidated version of Superman.
Snyder’s version of this character came from his more intimidated version of Superman.
This movie had me excited enough to have gone to movie theater to watch. Two
except the director, was the plot of
this new movie or its purpose. The threat would have to be revealed too for
cause to reactivate the original seven. Would Aquaman unite the seven seas
because he was king or would he try to unite th e original
seven in The
Justice League? In 1960, they were: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash,
Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter. Anything was possible with this
fierce looking character.
As an avid fan of Dr. Seuss, it was exciting to have found out that there was a complete manuscript with full illustrations among his personal effects. New readers who loved pets and shopping for their favorites might enjoy this book, What Pet Should I Get?
The best thing about Dr. Seuss’s writing was that the sentences in most of the books read to me and by me were easy to read because they had a rhyme to them. Sometimes it made us laugh to hear the reader get tongue-tied in the ABC Book and The Foot Book.
Not to sound biased, but as a youngster, reading for me started with the Dick and Jane series my brother brought home from school. The short, choppy sentences were ok, but there was no rhyme and fun to them li ke the ones written by Seuss. The ABC book made my brother and me laugh, especially the rhyme on the last page.
What wasn’t owned in hardcover was seen on television in cartoon form like Horton Hears A Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and Horton Hatches the Egg. The last one was a cartoon short directed by Bob Clampett, not Chuck Jones, in the 1940’s. It sounded and looked familiar to me. The ending of the cartoon was neat and spoke volumes.
Fans of this author would be pleased to know that not one, but two books were planned for publication by Random House, What Pet Should I Get?, out in July of this year, and another untitled work reported by Good Morning America today.
On Domestic Violence: There should be stiffer penalties for entertainers
Domestic violence was on the rise in
America. It was no longer kept behind closed doors. One didn’t have to have
been hit to be abused. It could start with disappointment, stress at work, or
financial difficulties. In the case of Ray J, his girlfriend,
Princess Love, beat him up last week for spendi ng the night at a strip club. Ray
J suffered broken ribs and an injured knee. She was arrested after the incident was
reported at their home in Louisiana. It must have been love between them
because he paid her bond and $10,000 lawyer fee.

and actors should be held accountable for their behavior both on and off the

All should've been thankful that he wasn't on the voting committe. It would have been biased and definitely prone to controversy becaus e of his favoritism towards Beyonce. I like her music also so there was no cut down intended.
Big Brother recording viewer's words through television?
Should people have a smar t tv in their home that included internet access? Only if they were smart enough to use the pop up function on it to erase the audio recording so it didn't allow third parties access to a private conversation or sensitive information. This was the scare that concerned purchasers of the new Samsung smart TVs.
Even on my smart phone, it alerted me to private information copied to the clipboard or videos recently viewed. Of course, it got erased. One of the apps on my phone was unliked by me because it bombarded me with a whole bunch of porno sites It ma de me mad trying to remove something not wanted on there in the first place. As a Christian woman, watching pornography was a sin because it was a type of fornication.
The statement by Samsung said:
"Please be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the DATAcaptured and transmitted to a third party through your use of Voice Recognitio n,"
The best defense against any type of privacy issue was to frequently erase the spoken word from there. Turning it off would've prevented comp lete use of the voice recognition feature. This would've been treated like any other electronic device. Erasing one's history protected one against all types of hackers, not just those that breached passwords, One wouldn't use the same one if their computer were hacked, right?
Even though Samsung hadn't commente since making that statement two days ago, media was all over this comparing it to G eorge Orwell's 1984. Try Agenda 21 people, the n ews media had already started writing their own version of the truth.
Kanye's stunt at Grammys seen as 'no harm done'
Kayne
West’s stunt at the Grammys last night wouldn’t have went well if this were
done a few years ago. Beyonce was already an established artist. I won’t stand
on the side of what was fair. It wasn’t known how they picked the winners at
these award shows. Obviously, like the world of writing, it’s the sleeper hits
that get the most attention. This
blogger was shocked too finding out that Beck won for Album of the Year. No one complained much when Michael Jacks on won eight
Grammys in 1984. A few of his awards were gained from “Beat it” and the album, “Thriller”.
They just nick named it the Michael Jackson show.
As far as professionalism, both Beyonce and Beck showe d
their level of it when they both had nice things to say about this distraction.
Beyonce would’ve been forgiven for her stumble if she had. It might not have been so for Beck being the
newbie in this game. He agreed with
Kanye.
Rappers were notorious for their bad boy image anyway. Eminem
won for Best Rap Album of the year.
Social media rolled their eyes and threw up their hands because this was
done by someone who was not black. Skin color didn’t play a factor here. Elton John did some of the background vocals and music.
They performed it on the show.There were three reasons why he was unliked by me and one of the main reasons they t ried to put warning labels on suggestive al bum lyrics:
1.
Foul language
2.
Glorified domestic violence
3.
The drowning of a girlfriend thrown in a car at
the bottom of a lake
After all was said and done, Kanye’s rant was to go down in
history as a minor distraction. This too shall fade.
Squabbling continues over star's estate
Nothing showed the character of a family until someone
passed away and the will was read. The heirs of Robin Williams were in court
contesting the legal will of the late actor yesterday. One of the legal liabilities
was that the late actor was married three times. Right now, his heirs and wife were squabbling
over his personal possessions.
At the time of his death, Robin Williams had an updated will
which included money put aside for trusts, and a pre-nuptual in place. Will the
fighting over what remained of his belongings stop? Only the Alm ighty knew.
Here’s what was known by me. Texas law allowed a spouse
having a will so disposal of property and the like was left to the widow if there was none:
1.
Upon my father’s death in 1995, the bulk of his
estate went to my brother, the eldest child. That included the big freezer, the
blue cooler, and most of his jewelry.
2.
I only got a few clothing items that actually
still fit today, most of his computer equipment, and his social security benefits and a good chunk of his veterans benefits. Actually the amount went up
when his death was known.
3.
If my mother passes on, my brother still got the
bulk of her estate. Because there wouldn’t be anyone to help me here in Texas,
I would probably move closer to my family in Georgia. Being unable to drive or pay for the upkeep of
my mother’s house, it was only right that the eldest receive it. But the renter
should be able to pass the panel of three, credit, criminal, and employment
checks.
When my aunt passed in 2013, there was a big squabble over her
property in the Florida condo. Apparently, there were promises made but there
was nothing stated in the will, if there was one. A will lets people know th e deceased person’s
wishes. If the promise wasn’t placed in the will, one shouldn’t expect to
receive it. Now that #Bobbi Kristina was on life support, it
was unclear whether there was a will. She is only 21.
Remake of "Poltereist" offered new ways to scare using 3-D
Cause of Taiwan plane crash not known
My condolences went out to families of the 26
victims in the latest plane crash over a river in Taiwan. This was the th ird
bad plane crash reported in as many months. Apparently this was one of many bad
plane c rashes that occurred in the last year.
While the reason behind the latest crash was still
being investigated, several from the past year were too, no one should be
afraid to fly. It was still o ne of the safest ways to travel.
There were several reasons for planes that crash:
- Pilot error/malpractice Airlines flight
MH370
- Mechanical malfunction
- Weather TransAsia Airways flight
GE222 a typhoon in Taiwan Air Algerie
AH5017,
- Shot down over restricted air space flight
MH17
The good news was, although these flights met with a tragic
end, the causes of these disasters were all from different causes. If they all
had the same thing happened it would’ve been easier finding a pattern. While deaths like this were always bad. At least
nothing listed was because of a terrorist attack or mechanical failure. More
good news, there were steps being put in place to avoid the shooting down of
airplanes that flew into restricted airspace.
With the latest crash,
fifteen people were rescued and at leas t 18 were missing from the 58 passenger
plane. The death t oll was expected to rise as the rescue/recovery efforts
continued. The flight recorder offered nothing that indicated why the plane was
in trouble. The cause of the crash was not known at this time.
No critics allowed: Bobbi Kristina Brown not out of danger yet
photo by:Wedding photo rocks |
Over the weekend, Bobbi Kristina Brown was
found in face down in a bathtub of w ater. After CPR and the paramedics were
called, she was place in a sleep induced coma. Yesterday, she opened
and closed her eyes, which was a good sign but she wasn’t out of the woods
yet.
Doctors said that because
Ms. Brown was not breathing for two to five minutes, there may have been irreversible
brain damage when she awoke.
Now TMZ
reported she was doing much better, but was still critical. Reaction to the
news on social media was and still is mixed. No one knew what caused her to
have been face down in the bathtub Some said it was the movie
that recently came out about her mother. Other s said that it was a folly of
having both parents on drugs. Whitney Houston suffered from some sort of chemical
imbalance and took medication.
While my prayers for Bobbi Kristina have been constant for a speedy
recovery, it appalled me when reading some of the comments people posted on
social media. Not being a doctor, my knowledge of chemical imbalances and its
causes were limited. If there were an issue, the choice was made with a clouded
mind to end up face down in a tub of water. To the harsh critics, don’t be so
judgmental! Stop playing the arm chair critic Not everyone can handle the exp ectations that came with high
profile parents. It made the H ollywood fish bowl that much smaller. The sins of
the parents should not be visited on the daughter.
Attack in France: More die needlessly as churches torched in Nigeria
Ok, there were a few things that must be said
about the recent upheaval with the attacks in France and the situation with
Sony to withhold the Christmas release of “The
Interview”, which was a satire
so to speak. The right to express an opinion was covered under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
My answers were here in order to make people
think. Usually when someone did something in anger, thinking was the last thing
on that person’s mind. After all this time the African communities around the
nation hadn’t forgotten the pain of the past. Whenever someone of color was
shot and killed, a riot usually happened.
The 700
Club said that 10% of
France’s population those that were radical were Muslim. Any satire against
their prophet Muhammad
was an offense. Since this was taken seriously, 17 people were marked for death
over the first cover. To prevent other uprisings, Europe cracked down on known
sleeper cells in their countries. As of today, The before mentioned program
said that there was violence in Nigeria and some other western African
countries where people were kill ed and churches were burned because of the
cartoon.
a.
Was it right when rioting to destroy one’s
property or steal another’s things?
b. Was it justified, striking back in anger and murdering
17 people?
c. Was it right for people to have died and churches
burned in Western Africa because of what happened in France?
d. Was it right to provoke anyone by derogatory
rem arks, racial slurs, or satire?
e. Was it right for men to hit women?
NO on all counts.
1. First of all, my support of France was as
solid as those who marched in defiance when they defended their right to
freedom of expression after the attacks. My condolences for the 17 people who
were killed almost two weeks ago.
a. Any time there were references to things like 9/11 or a bomb threat similar to the one in Boston
in an e-mail they were to have been taken seriously. Sony
might have stood alone but they were correct in what they did.
b. It was bett er to delay and hurt a little
financially t hen to pay for wrongful death lawsuits and go bankrupt from that. George Clooney was allowed to criti cize all he wanted but nobody knew how big
the casualties would’ve been if the threat was carried out.
2. Pope Franc es was right on two counts:
b. His reaction f someone was to insult his parentage was on target too. It would’ve been mine if ignorance inspired
violence in me, which it didn’t.
3. My stance with Europe’s crackdown on terrorist
sleeper cells was right too.
a. England, France, Germany, and Belgium had
every right to ‘nip the problem in t he bud’ by detaining those who had visited known countries that
supported radical belief systems.
b. The United States did its part too. This year,
one man was held in an Ohio jail without bond for his threat to blow up the nation’s capitol. By
the way, any time a threat was posted on any type of social media, like
Facebook, things were to have been taken seriously. The fear was that these
sleeper cells resorted to brainwashing the young with the use o f such devices, frightened me. Two teenage girls
from Pennsylvania were returned home last year after they were promised a good
life as a Muslim wife. They took down the post and profile of the person who
said anyone over the age of 65 should be euthanized. Eighteen months in jail wasn’t long enough. All lives were
precious so my vote was no o
n that.
4.
Concerning assault, domest ic violence against
women, and the riots that took place from the deaths of black youth late last
year, the media played a huge role in the outcome.
a. An NFL team owner and a few players got into
trouble for what was repeated or seen on camera. A racial remark cost a team
owner his team. Several players got in trouble for assault and domestic violence. It forced the NFL to look at its policy on punishment for player’s behavior off the field as well as on it.
b. Even though violence was a form of expression
and protected by the First Amendment, the line should’ve been drawn when the
destruction of or stealing property occurred. Ferguson, Missouri had a lot of poor in that community and it was hard enough to
bounce back after this. It forced the police departments nation-wide to wear
body cameras. This wasn’t helped by the media when it tried writing its own
version of the truth. They should’ve been held accountable like the looters in
the riot.
The new headline on France’s newspaper
obviously came too late because the riots there had gotten worse according to CBS Evening News. Europe still remained on high alert because
of it. Other countries that issued a crackdown of known sleeper cells were
justified. The pope’s response to the riots in France was correct as were
policemen to wear body cameras and the NFL’s tougher stance on assault and
domestic violence. Anytime the above were placed on any type of social media,
it was meant to provoke a reaction, usually a negative one.

Cosby's wife and daughter defend him, blast media, question accusers memories
Ok, apparently, this wasn’t over yet. Almost three weeks
later, two more women filed suit against Bill Cosby. Yesterday, he finally
broke his silence but he didn’t address the allegations against him directly.
Because of recent events, he was told not to talk to anyone about the rape or
assault allegations. His fmily has come to his defense, blasting the media once again for their part in this.
My mother asked what my thoughts were on Bill Cosby. She
needed to read my blog on Google. Unlike a lot of the media, this blogger
refuses to jump on the hate Bill Cosby bandwagon. That was never my style, not even when Bill
Clinton was going through the Monica
Lewinski scandal. In spite of what was uncovered before and after Michael
Jackson’s death, I still remain a fan.
One thing standing out about this whole situation was Bill
Cosby’s way of carrying himself during this time of major trouble:
- . Refusing to answer his accusers publicly His words were “I refuse to dignify that with an answer”
- . Even though he was stripped of his military rank, and lost his seat on a major college board, loosing residual checks from the rebroadcast of “The Cosby Show”, and had several appearances cancelled, he never flinched or howled once.
The media still continued to vilify him in spite of his wife’s
statement
supporting him she made to the CBS Evening News last night. The media deserved
that amount of acid from her. They can twist even a false story, like the one
in Rolling
Stone into truth and pass it off as legitimate. Camille had a hard time determining
who the victim really was. It confused me too. They still hadn’t retracted the story.
Journalism ethics had came under fire and took a major hit. What irked me about
the world of writing nowadays was that there were some reporters that didn’t
care who they stepped on or destroyed to get the story. Getting it filed even
with major omissions that could’ve turned the whole angle reported by them on
its ear if more time to record the truth were taken.
Until the two women that had active lawsuits against him,
this blogger thought the whole thing would pass without incident and Cosby would
receive a public apology and be fully exonerated. Like the Paula
Deen fiasco, it seemed to me that once the first rock was thrown, every
accuser wanted three tries to see if they could hit him with a stone. They
should be out of rocks by now or heavily scarred from the sharp ones that hit
them on the way back down.
Evin Cosby's statement on rape as recorded by Access Hollywood:
"Rape is a serious allegation and it is suppose to be taken VERY seriously but so is Falsely accusing someone. When someone rapes a person they go to prison. THAT should also happen to the person that has wrongfully accused an innocent victim. They are not ONLY destroying innocent people's life they are ALSO making it hard for the MEN and Women to find justice when they have been raped," she wrote.
She questioned the validity of the alleged victims' recollections of the supposed incidents. She went on to give thanks to those that showed their support of her family.
How many of these
supposed triggered memories would hold up in court after 20-30 years? The only
paperwork on this would’ve been in a psychologist’s office under lock and key,
similar to attorney-client privilege. Without a subpoena, those records were
protected by law. It’s like a date rape
drug, undetectable most of the time during an examination to gather fluids and
record trauma to the body to establish standing. With any luck, the LAPD might
not have anything but heresay from the accusers and have the case thrown out
due to lack of evidence.
Personally, this blogger grows weay of these stories. It was time to put them aside.

As if Amazon.com needed a
bargaining tool, they will roll one out to help with those rare items. While
this might’ve pleased some people who looked for rare items like sports
memorabilia, books, audio, digital, and coins, it did nothing
for items purchased all the time.
This was usually found on their competitor’s site, eBay, but better late than never. Apparently, it works like the bids on the
above site in that buyers and sellers communicate via e-mail. One feature that
wasn’t on the eBay site was the reject button. A person won their bid if no one
outbid them when the auction ended. Amazon’s haggle button, according to my local news
station was for items that started a $100 and the buyer had three days to
reply to the blow list price.
There were no people trying to overprice a bid on an odd occurrence
like a two headed coin. One time, someone did this to me by letting a coin
worth 25 cents get as high as $33. Ebay banned people who did this. Amazon was
looking for a lower price bid.
Unfortunately, this feature came too late for rare items like Galaxy
Express 999, Sailor
Moon, and InuYasha.
In 2007, the first three seasons of the latter series sold for $99.99 each
after the Cartoon Network stopped
broadcasting the syndicated series two years ago. Before finding the complete
series on Ebay at $59.95, over $300 was spent by me trying to get the first few
seasons. In that lower price, all four movies were offered with English
subtitles. Thankfully, selling the previously purchased items at a loss netted
me $168. It allowed me to purchase the music from the series.
A lot of these episodes were found in places like YouTube and Hulu in either Engish dubbed or Japanese with English subtitles. For the die-hard fan, they were able to have been purchased at resonable prices. Even though Galaxy Express 999 had English subtitles, my aim was getting it in English, like Vampire Hunter D, and Demon City Shinjuku. My hope was to use this feature to get the complete Poltergeist: The Legacy series. Right now, only seasons one and two were available.
The plum in my collection would have been Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Premiere Collection Encore on DVD. Amazon.com only had it in VHS format after all this time. My efforts at offering aomething to trade in didn't work out when the buyer never answered me.
Whatever one bought using the haggle feature made a great Christmas gift.

Media might be to blame for rioting

This past week was a storm of controversy. The violence in Ferguson,Missouri over the non indictment veridict for the cop that shot Michael Brown erupted. in more than the major city. In spite of the incident, which some experts have said the cop followed his training to the letter, disagreements remained. In my Sunday School class at church, a few things were uncovered about this some of the prior incidents:
To answer some of the Christians that think people do not need to defend themslves, here's what the Bible said:
Genesis 3:14-19
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.” (NIV)
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.” (NIV)
35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”
“Nothing,” they answered.
36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’ [a]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
The Bill of Rights backed this up too. We have a military to protect us, but we also have the right to defend our families and property. In spite of the push to remove guns totally, Keeping them out of the hsnds of the young sn those considered mentally unbalanced remained a problem.
Second Amendment

In the case of Trayvon Martin, he was in the complex visiting his father's fiancee. He went to the store for some Skittles and a drink. The type of drink was not known, but combined with the candy it made some type of drug. Martin already had a crimmial record..George Zimmerman, afraid of the many break-ins on the area had a right to carry a gun and was already part of a neighborhood watch.
Localy, with the Michael Brown case, one of the television stations said he was 'beat down' all day until this same person called the station up and asked them to define 'beat down'. Here's what came up:
To harass, subdue, or crush the spirit of <he beat down the arrogance of a heretic — H. O. Taylor> vanquish <the enemy was beaten down>
By the 10 o'clock broadcast that night, wording on the story was changed. It bothered me that this happened at the local news station.
Something else in an article disturbed me. Rioting was a form of free speech, but those in Ferguson where mostly black and the jobless prcentage was already very high.There were some that used the destruction of property and a person's ability to earn money as a scare tactic for those that want to sit at the negotiating table. They don't want that, making outreach efforts more difficult.
The race card was overplayed in the media becuse of their omissions in these stories written and the wording used to report them. What happened to giving just the facts? It almost seemed like they wanted this to occur just so riots would happen. It didn't take much to insight trouble. The 700 Club said all that was needed was a report that a black person got shot and whomever did it was the bad guy on the post office wall WANTED poster. In this case, it was Darren Wilson.
The above comments backed up the statement that media was to blame for instigating the Ferguson Missouri violence.In this blogger's opinion, they overstretched their original intent which was to inform and entertain. Add instigation of violence to the list now.**
In spite of the trouble around allegations that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted Janice Dickinson, he was still to perform. Below were a list of cancellations:
1.
NBC and Netflix Have Scrapped Their Respective Bill Cosby Projects Amid
New Rape Allegations TV.com
It looked to me like this was a ten year old issue that reared its ugly head again. Unlike the Paula Deen fiasco, Bill Cosby was to rebound a lot faster. Right now, Netflix was postponing his special pending these alleged sexual assault/rape allegations. As a fan of both, giving them the benefit of the doubt was better than jumping on the crucifixion band wagon that the media seemed to enjoy when hearing things like this about high profile personalities.
youtube.com 4:16
Even though I am not a fan of Honey Boo Boo, TLC had every right cancelling the show because her mother was alledgedly in a relationship with a convicted sex offender. That man had a mug shot and a paper trail. Cosby's accusers hadn't come up with any mug shot, arrest record or trial transcript. Until someone dug up those papers proving criminial activity, the media should let it go.
Bill Cosby had it right staying quiet about these alledged charges. Even though Thomas Jefferson lived openly with Sally Hemings, he learned the value of silence quieted the gossip mill. If everyone ignored this it would fade with time as did the last two accusers who came foward trying to get theit fie minutes of fame over something written in a book.
Well, Julia Roberts and Danny Moder were headed for divorce court. In spite of that lnockout body and dazzling smile, this wasn't enough to keep Danny Moder at the same residence. After 12 years of marriage and numrous reports of turbulance, he was unable to--stick it out for the children's sake, which he took when he moved out. He citied he couldn't live with her any more. Labeled a harpy, Ms. Roberts accused him of infidelity,drug use,
Ms. Roberts must have serious insecurity issues because her marriage to Lyle Lovett only lasted two years. Afte the split with Kieffer Sutherland she ran to Ireland to lick her wounds with this friend, Jason Patric before returning to the set to complete filming on "Hook" with Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Smith and the late Robin Williams. At least, didn't have to go through the public divorcing of her ike Moder suffered . Their engagement abruptly ended because she accused him of havig an afair with Amanda Rice,a stripper, whom he met on the day of their wedding only to play pool.
Apparently, it appeared to this writer that Roberts was living out one of her plumb roles as being attracted to a 'bum magnet' like she expressed in Pretty Woman
