By Shaunna Murphy, Hollywood.com Staff
Why hello there, latest member of the so-called ""Grimes Gang."" That's right like it or not, you've made the cut. The comfortable life you've always known is forever gone, your family and friends are flesh-eating monsters, and now you have no choice but to try to make it in a post-apocalyptic version of the American south east with this ragtag bunch of zombie killin' misfits. Humidity, gross!
Whenever you tune in to The Walking Dead, part of you wonders how you yourself would fare should you find yourself in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Would you pull a Sophia and run into the wilderness, never to return? Would you take on a leadership role like Rick? Would you be a crossbow-wielding badass like Daryl Dixon? Well, now it's your turn to find out. Before Walking Dead makes its Oct. 14 debut, click through our version of a ""choose your own adventure"" to learn the consequences of your theoretical actions.
When we last left the Grimes Gang, they were in shambles an attack on Hershel's farm left the group bruised, bloodied, and heartbroken after some devastating deaths. The eternally beleaguered Andrea was separated from the group, and went off with a mysterious hooded figure who we now know to be Michonne. Michonne had two walkers shackled to her, which officially makes her a badass. Good Andrea could use a positive female role model.
The rest of the gang (minus Jimmy, Shane, and Patricia RIP) met on the highway, RV-less. Rick told everyone that he had killed Shane news that wasn't particularly well-received. But that was nothing compared to the next bomb Rick dropped: He revealed the game-changing fact that Dr. Jenner whispered to him at the end of the first season that all survivors are infected, and will become walkers after they die. Oh-no-no. A large prison loomed in the distance, and season three trailers have revealed that this prison will replace Hershel's farm as a main hangout for a good chunk of season three.
So, what will it be?
If you want to join Rick's gang at the prison, click here.
If you want to head off with Andrea and Michonne, click here. [PAGEBREAK]Welcome to prison! Where the beds are soft, and the company's inviting.
Congratulations you've made a wise decision. Now you have plenty of empty beds, a great defense system, enough prison food to last eons in the Walking Dead universe, as well as the always-stellar company of the Grimes Gang. You have plenty of meaningful, existential conversations with Daryl, avoid the annoying Grimes couple at all costs, and every now and then, even T-Dog gets a word in.
So, for a few days, you're in post-apocalyptic paradise. Then, trouble hits you hear a rumbling outside the fortress, and shock hits the group when they realize it's Merle Dixon, fighting a group of zombies in Cell Block C. Now, Merle is a notoriously shady character. Do you save him, and let him in?
If Merle lives, click here
If Merle dies, click here[PAGEBREAK]Congratulations, fan of badass women. You have joined Michonne and Andrea.
You have a tough road ahead of you its just you, the two gals, a pair of dead walkers on chains, and a world of zombies that just-so-happen to think your flesh is a Happy Meal. Also, that Andrea isn't looking too hot. Since you're not exactly a whiz with the weaponry, that's a lot of dead weight on Michonne's able shoulders.
Thankfully, after a couple of weeks, help arrives via a mysterious, inoffensively handsome stranger, calling himself 'The Governor.' He claims to have a safe, utopian paradise with your names all over it. You're hesitant, because you know that something that sounds too good to be true probably is, but the lack of food and safe housing has you desperate. Plus, Andrea really needs some DayQuil.
So, what do you do?
If you follow the mysterious man, click here.
If you convince Andrea and Michonne to kill him, click here. [PAGEBREAK]Merle Lives! RIP, T-Dog
You are such a humanitarian. Merle is a total d***, but you wouldn't want to isolate Daryl by turning him into zombie-chow. Thankfully, for most of you the decision to let Merle in was a good one he helps you fight off all of the remaining walkers, and has an arsenal of weapons in his truck that will be sure to come in handy. (Get it? Handy? Because he only has one hand? I kill myself.)
Unfortunately, Merle also manages to get T-Dog alone with a group of walkers, and pushes him into them for the sake of revenge. RIP T-Dog we'll miss hearing your one line per episode.
Merle also comes with some surprising news: He's heard of a mysterious safe-haven village nearby, run by a man known only as 'The Governor.' He wants to head there to see what's up (probably to take it over for himself.) You ignore this news for weeks, but soon, prison food supply starts to lower, and the group grows restless. So, what do you do?
So, what will it be?
If you decide to find the village, click here.
If you decide to stay put, click here.[PAGEBREAK]You killed Merle? What were you thinking?!
Wow. A that's heartless. B Did you really think he wouldn't find his way in, anyway? This is Merle we're talking about. The man cut off his own hand in the face of certain death. So, yeah, you're basically stupid. In a fit of violent rage, Merle cuts a hole in the fence and lets in a herd of walkers with him. Hershel is the first to go, since he got a DUI in real life, and everyone who gets a DUI in real life gets killed off on TV. While Merle whisks Daryl away, everyone dies except for you, and Carl. Now you have to spend the rest of your life with Carl. Congrats.
Game over, man. Click here to return to start.[PAGEBREAK]You went with the Governor! Welcome to Hell!
Welcome to Woodbury, GA! The town is really pretty, even if it sort of reminds you of that weird Dharma-ville from Lost. However, things quickly go astray. First, you realize that there aren't many women in the town, and the ones who are there are miserable, quiet, and/or pregnant. After some investigating, you learn that much like in the film 28 Days Later you will be used for hard labor if you're male, and forced baby-making if you're female. S***.
Michonne begins hatching up a plan for revenge, but the Governor quickly catches on and locks you guys up in an attic prison. Andrea's flu symptoms are getting increasingly worse, and you're beginning to think that things look pretty hopeless, since fighting off the Gov with his arsenal of weapons with only yours and Michonne's bare hands is risky business.
Then, one day, hope arrives you hear the Grimes Gang in the distance, and even though you can't speak to them through your Governor-made prison, you overhear them plotting their own revenge. Breaking out of jail will still be tough, and Andrea is still mighty pissed at the Gang for generally ignoring her existence for months and leaving her to die at Hershel's farm. So do you try to bust out and join them?
If you stay put and hope for rescue, click here.
If you join the newcomers in the fight, click here.[PAGEBREAK]You killed The Governor! But, congrats you all die anyway.
You have great people-reading skills you knew this guy was up to no good. Still, with no protection and herds of walkers closing in around you, you all die anyway. Andrea receives a nasty bite from this fella up here, then quickly rises to kill you for being such a poor-decision-making jerk.
Game over, man. Click here to return to start.[PAGEBREAK]You chose to follow Merle. Welcome to Woodbury, GA... suckers.
You arrive in Woodbury, where you quickly meet its oddly charming, potentially sociopathic leader, the Governor. Rick, being Rick, is immediately concerned but Hershel is excited at the prospect of a nice home for Maggie and Beth, Lori needs a sterile environment to have her baby, and Carl is psyched to learn that they have candy. Ugh, Carl.
Within days, you learn that things aren't exactly what they seem. The candy tastes like crap, the guys and gals are put in separate bunkers, and the Gov is creepily obsessed with Lori's coming baby. You soon realize that this guy is trying to become the dictatorial ruler of a post-apocalyptic society, and the Grimes Gang wants nothing to do with that.
The thing is, you've also grown pretty tired. The Governor sees this in you, and coaxes you to stay with the promise of your own home, and a bright future safe from the walkers... all you have to do is keep him abreast of Rick's plans.
So, what will you do?
If you go with Rick's plan to fight the Governor, click here.
If you take the Governor's side, click here.[PAGEBREAK]You stayed in prison! Too bad it just got overrun by walkers.
Well, not listening to Merle is typically a good idea, but this time it doesn't quite work in your favor. A few weeks after Merle's departure, something wakes you up in the middle of the night: It's Hershel, who has become zombie-fied (because he got a DUI in real life, and that always gets you killed off early on TV). Hershel and a few other walkers quickly get to Lori, which enrages Rick to the point of insanity. Rick fights to the death, but it's not enough the walkers tear through everyone, even Glenn and Daryl... they kill Glenn and Daryl! Only you and Carl survive, so enjoy your lifetime of fun with Carl.
Game over, man. Click here to return to start.[PAGEBREAK]You stayed put, and hoped for rescue. What a pansy!
Did you really think that three extra sets of hands wouldn't be HUGE in the fight against the Governor and his cronies? You watch your friends die from your attic window, (except for Carl, who miraculously survives), and resign yourself to a life of forced labor and baby-making in the Governor's dystopian hell. Michonne eventually hangs herself, and Andrea succumbs to her flu. That leaves you and Carl. Have fun with that.
Game over, man. Click here to return to start.[PAGEBREAK]You joined Rick, and fought the Governor! RIP, Hershel.
The battle is long and hard, but between Daryl's crossbow, Rick's sharp-shooting, Merle's insanity, and the sudden emergence of badass Michonne, you all emerge victorious. You do lose Hershel in the process, but he got a DUI in real life, so that was to be expected.
Within days, you free the trapped residents of Woodbury, and Daryl's soothing words help cure their Stockholm Syndrome. You grow a plentiful garden in the abundant Georgia soil, find houses for your respective families, and create your own little utopia amongst the madness. Sure, the occasional walker shows up, but with all of your weapons and food and medicine, you're very well-equipped to fight them. Oh, and Rick and Lori finally get ""a divorce"" so you don't need to hear their inane fighting all the time anymore.
You've won! Click here to return to start.[PAGEBREAK]You joined the Grimes Gang in their fight! RIP, Hershel.
Michonne kills your ""prison guard' using only her bare hands, and the three of you grab some weapons while the Gang is out fighting the Governor and his men. Michonne is merciless with her katana, and she manages to surprise the Governor and cut open this throat while the rest of the Gang watches, stunned. Unfortunately, while they're briefly paralyzed by Michonne's awesomeness, Hershel is shot by one of the Gov's most loyal men. RIP, Hershel. Next time don't drink and drive.
An enraged Maggie and her boy-toy Glenn help kill off the rest of the guys, and you're all finally free to live your lives in peace. The gang is reunited with the long-lost Andrea, and they're all, ""Oh, hey, Andrea..."" Carl finds some kids to play with in Woodbury, so he finally takes off his hat and gets significantly less annoying. Happy endings all around! (Well, except for Hershel.)
You've won! Click here to return to start.[PAGEBREAK]You took the Governor's side? What a jackass!
We know the Grimes Gang can be a major pain in the ass, but that doesn't mean you should go around betraying them every time an inoffensively handsome southerner promises you room and board. You fight against the Gang, and Daryl quickly shoots you in the throat with his crossbow. You die a gory, painful death, the emerge as a walker for a few seconds before Carl shoots you. HA HA. You get killed by Carl.
Game over, man. Click here to return to start.

Okay, I saw this when I looked at our competition,Team Edward (only kidding!) It's called the wrong answer game. It goes like this. Becka C, i hope you don't mind, I'm using you as an example!
Kenzie Rose: Why did Edward leave Bella?
Becka C: To go pick up his laundry from the laundromat. What did Carlisle do before he was a doctor?
And it goes on like that. One person asks a question, the other answers and leaves another question. Team Edward's Wrong Answer game was honestly hilarious, so let's see if we can make this even more humorous than theirs! GO TEAM JACOB!
I'll start.
Why did bella jump off the cliff?

Mike Dugeon the barber went from write-in Detroit mayoral candidate to carjacking victim when his 2004 burgundy Grand Prix was stolen Wednesday night.
Click the second video above to watch surveillance video.
He was at a liquor store near Wyoming and Eaton when two gun-toting tyrants came at him.
"I come back outside to look for my phone on the side of my passenger's seat and my driver's seat, and during that process, someone comes up to me with a gun pointed at my abdomen," Dugeon said.
"Things happen, so I'm not going to sit here and act like it's just Alice in Wonderland around here, but at the same time, it never happened before until this whole situation."
Dugeon believes the carjackers may have been put up to their crime, making him a victim in his own city just days before Tuesday's primary. He is still running, but has new priorities.
"I want them to vote for who they think will better the city. If it's me, it's good. If it's Mike Duggan, it's good. If it's Benny Napoleon, it's good," Dugeon said.
The carjacking suspects are thought to be in their twenties. They are about six feet tall and weigh about 180 pounds. They both have short hair and dark complexions.
If you have any information about this case, contact Detroit Police at 313-596-2555.

Sabine de Kerbriant
From EastKingdomWiki
Sabine holding court at Noisemakers
Azure, on a chief indented Or three pommes
|Awards & Offices
Sabine de Kerbriant (formerly Sabine Kerbriant de Lanvaux) first got involved with the Barony of Bhakail in 1994, accidentally drawn in by the siren call of a friend saying "Hey, someone's dragging me to this weird dance practice thing and I want you to come too!" Her primary interests are music, poetry and literature, manuscripts and early printed books, commedia dell'arte, dance, and archery, but she can easily be distracted by any interesting medieval or Renaissance art form, especially the tasty ones. She is particularly fond of all things French. Her favored musical instruments include rauschpfeife, crumhorn, recorder, and transverse flute.
She has been a baronial officer of one sort or another since 1995 and currently serves as Baroness of Bhakail, as well as director of the Bhakaili Branslers and patroness of I Zanni Illuminati. In the past she dabbled in heavy weapons fighting, fencing, embroidery, and a variety of other classic SCAdian activities, and learned not to mess with anything involving sharp points and/or long strings.
Sabine is married to Baron Nissim aven Darmon, called Darmon; their daughter Mina, born in 2007, holds the title Marquesa of Black Icorndall. She and her family are members of Dar Nafoura Hajjar (House of the Stone Fountain).

There needs to be a selection under the poll for "Grow up and learn that 'commitment' and 'ownership' are two different things."
If you're treating your boyfriend as "time invested" and want him to make some kind of binding commitment to you so that you can parade him around as "yours", then you've probably already lost him.
Commitment isn't something you agree upon or force upon someone else. It's something that naturally happens when each person decides that they want to be with each other for the rest of their lives.
If you really like this guy, and you want to have a future with him because of who he is and not just the fact that being in a relationship is a status symbol for you, then you should work on your own personality and maturity until he makes the decision that he wants to be with you for the rest of his life.

Sparks fly in the corruption trial of Kwame Kilpatrick as the attorney for co-defendant Bobby Ferguson grills a federal agent on the witness stand.
Outside the court Kilpatrick chanting the name, Rataj! Rataj! Rataj. Kwame Kilpatrick has a new hero, and so does his pal and co-defendant Bobby Ferguson.
Meet Mike Rataj, Marine, Hockey Player, Master of the mini-mullet and zealous advocate for the defense. "In the picture that's been painted of Bobby Ferguson, is wrong and its skewed
and so our job is to make sure the jury understands exactly who he was and who he is."
Rataj squared off Thursday with federal agent Carol Carol Paszkiewicz over the meaning of this text message exchange between Ferguson and then-Mayor Kilpatrick.
Ferguson: Hate to bother you, but you need to hear this: Pratap people stopped negotiating with my people and is trying to give the water main job to one of the other contractors.
Kilpatrick: What?
Ferguson: Just what you said before; when we are not a part of the decision making, we get f----d no matter how the process started.
Paszkiewicz testified Wednesday that the message showed Ferguson throwing his weight around. But Rataj says she got it all wrong; The real message is that Ferguson wanted the mayor to help another minority contractor get city work.
"These text messages are open to multiple interpretations and I asked if agent Carol Paszkiewicz is a mind reader. And she's not a mind reader. So this whole exercise that the government is going through is a waste of time. Because she doesn't know what's in somebody's head," Rataj said.
That's why it's so hard to tell who's winning this case. One day a piece of evidence makes it seem like the prosecution is on top, the next day the very same piece of evidence can make it appear that the defense has the upper hand.

Each day, 10-year-old Seth asked his mom for more and more lunch money. Yet he seemed skinnier than ever and came home from school hungry. It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to a fifth-grader, who was threatening to beat him up if he didn't pay.
Kayla, 13, thought things were going well at her new school, since all the popular girls were being so nice to her. But then she found out that one of them had posted mean rumors about her on a website. Kayla cried herself to sleep that night and started going to the nurse's office complaining of a stomachache to avoid the girls in study hall.
Unfortunately, the kind of bullying that Seth and Kayla experienced is widespread. In national surveys, most kids and teens say that bullying happens at school.
A bully can turn something like going to the bus stop or recess into a nightmare for kids. Bullying can leave deep emotional scars that last for life. And in extreme situations, it can culminate in violent threats, property damage, or someone getting seriously hurt.
If your child is being bullied, there are ways to help him or her cope with it on a day-to-day basis and lessen its lasting impact. And even if bullying isn't an issue right in your house right now, it's important to discuss it so your kids will be prepared if it does happen.
Most kids have been teased by a sibling or a friend at some point. And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful, friendly, and mutual way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to stop.
Bullying is intentional tormenting in physical, verbal, or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, shoving, name-calling, threats, and mocking to extorting money and treasured possessions. Some kids bully by shunning others and spreading rumors about them. Others use email, chat rooms, instant messages, social networking websites, and text messages to taunt others or hurt their feelings.
It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to "tough out." The effects can be serious and affect kids' sense of self-worth and future relationships. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as school shootings.
Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim — someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way — to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case.
Sometimes kids torment others because that's the way they've been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry, shouts, or calls names. Some popular TV shows even seem to promote meanness — people are "voted off," shunned, or ridiculed for their appearance or lack of talent.
Unless your child tells you about bullying — or has visible bruises or injuries — it can be difficult to figure out if it's happening.
But there are some warning signs. Parents might notice kids acting differently or seeming anxious, or not eating, sleeping well, or doing the things they usually enjoy. When kids seem moodier or more easily upset than usual, or when they start avoiding certain situations, like taking the bus to school, it might be because of a bully.
If you suspect bullying but your child is reluctant to open up, find opportunities to bring up the issue in a more roundabout way. For instance, you might see a situation on a TV show and use it as a conversation starter, asking "What do you think of this?" or "What do you think that person should have done?" This might lead to questions like: "Have you ever seen this happen?" or "Have you ever experienced this?" You might want to talk about any experiences you or another family member had at that age.
Let your kids know that if they're being bullied — or see it happening to someone else — it's important to talk to someone about it, whether it's you, another adult (a teacher, school counselor, or family friend), or a sibling.
If your child tells you about a bully, focus on offering comfort and support, no matter how upset you are. Kids are often reluctant to tell adults about bullying because they feel embarrassed and ashamed that it's happening, or worry that their parents will be disappointed.
Sometimes kids feel like it's their own fault, that if they looked or acted differently it wouldn't be happening. Sometimes they're scared that if the bully finds out that they told, it will get worse. Others are worried that their parents won't believe them or do anything about it. Or kids worry that their parents will urge them to fight back when they're scared to.
Praise your child for being brave enough to talk about it. Remind your child that he or she isn't alone — a lot of people get bullied at some point. Emphasize that it's the bully who is behaving badly — not your child. Reassure your child that you will figure out what to do about it together.
Sometimes an older sibling or friend can help deal with the situation. It may help your daughter to hear how the older sister she idolizes was teased about her braces and how she dealt with it. An older sibling or friend also might be able to give you some perspective on what's happening at school, or wherever the bullying is happening, and help you figure out the best solution.
Take it seriously if your hear that the bullying will get worse if the bully finds out that your child told. Sometimes it's useful to approach the bully's parents. In other cases, teachers or counselors are the best ones to contact first. If you've tried those methods and still want to speak to the bullying child's parents, it's best to do so in a context where a school official, such as a counselor, can mediate.
Many states have bullying laws and policies. Find out about the laws in your community. In certain cases, if you have serious concerns about your child's safety, you may need to contact legal authorities.
The key to helping kids is providing strategies that deal with bullying on an everyday basis and also help restore their self-esteem and regain a sense of dignity.
It may be tempting to tell a kid to fight back. After all, you're angry that your child is suffering and maybe you were told to "stand up for yourself" when you were young. And you may worry that your child will continue to suffer at the hands of the bully.
But it's important to advise kids not to respond to bullying by fighting or bullying back. It can quickly escalate into violence, trouble, and someone getting injured. Instead, it's best to walk away from the situation, hang out with others, and tell an adult.
Here are some other strategies to discuss with kids that can help improve the situation and make them feel better:
At home you can lessen the impact of the bullying. Encourage your kids to get together with friends that help build their confidence. Help them meet other kids by joining clubs or sports programs. And find activities that can help a child feel confident and strong. Maybe it's a self-defense class like karate or a movement or other gym class.
And just remember: as upsetting as bullying can be for you and your family, lots of people and resources are available to help.

Jeremy Alford, our political columnist in Baton Rouge, is telling us that state Rep. Stuart Bishop, R-Lafayette, has been named vice chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee. Alford reports he confirmed the appointment with House Speaker Chuck Kleckley. We left a message on Bishop's cell phone and are awaiting reaction.
SEP 15 Russel Honore, retired U.S. Army lieutenant general and commander of the Green Army, pens this op-ed in the Picayune about the EPA's clean power plan. We worry and plan and protect for hurricanes, but allow power plants to "treat our air like an open sewer," he writes.
SEP 15 Blogger Tom Aswell gives us the details on a recent Legislative Auditor's report on Louisiana's obligations to Tom Benson, some of which he says "appear to border on financial irresponsibility." He's also detailing an audit of the seemingly endless problems with hurricane recovery contractors.
SEP 15 Blogger Bob Mann is writing about the death of Victor White III, who died in New Iberia, handcuffed and in the back seat of a police car, from a gunshot wound to the chest. He wonders if perhaps the residents of that town should riot, as the residents of Ferguson did, in order to get national (and federal) attention for the case.
SEP 15 Here's another post from a pundit who thinks the Democrats made an error in endorsing Edwin Edwards. Columnist James Gill argues that the party's endorsement is a "mystery," adding that Edwards' record doesn't justify it. Huh? Since Edwards would never vote for any bill or proposal outside the Democratic wheelhouse, how is that?
SEP 15 Blogger CB Forgotston has the latest on the lawsuit filed by a Baton Rouge legislator over the so-called Edmonson Amendment. State Treasurer John Kennedy, who as a member of the pension board was named as a defendant, has filed an answer in which he agrees with the legislator's claim that the Amendment is unconstitutional.
SEP 15 Here's the NOLA Defender blog's coverage of the Gulf Energy Forum, hosted last week in the city by The Atlantic magazine. Although the mag's people tried to ensure the discussion explored all types of energy, it focused on oil and gas, the post reports. Since the forum was held in Louisiana and underwritten by the American Petroleum Institute - how is that a surprise?
SEP 15 Bobby Jindal spent the weekend in Florida, helping candidates there by criticizing a Democrat who, he says, doesn't believe in anything but himself. (Hmmm.) It's interesting that he's seen as a help in other states, right? Given that the polls here show his support is a kiss of death?
SEP 15 The New Orleans Police Department has been accused of profiling suspected illegal immigrants and holding them for immigration officials, this post on The Lens tells us. Although federal officials only do "targeted enforcement," NOPD is accused of basically looking for Latinos and using a "stop and frisk" process, the story says.
SEP 12 Blogger Tom Aswell continues to dig into the "theater of the absurd" that is the Jindal Administration's running of the Office of Group Benefits. After laying off employees because there wasn't anything for them to do, the administration then had to hire a private firm just to answer the phones. (Turns out it costs millions to get someone to answer the phones. Who knew?)
SEP 12 Here is a lovely obituary, complete with arrangements, for Alison Neustrom, who died Wednesday at the age of 42. Neustrom, who was the research director of PAR, had dedicated her short life to helping people who, for whatever reason, were "struggling on the margins of life," the obituary states. In addition to her husband and her large, loving family of relatives and friends, she leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter.
SEP 12 This post on The Lens examines Bobby Jindal's flippity-flopping on the issue of Common Core. C.W. Cannon offers a bit of history and a clear primer on the issues, but in the end it's nothing more than Jindal's attempt to fund his next career move, Cannon writes, which will probably be as "a beta-male Sarah Palin on the bayou."

If you are going to be successful, you will have to get attention and when you get the right amount of attention, you will have to learn how to handle the naysayers.
With the prevalence of social media, there is no shortage of people who will anonymously sling their hate, opinions and advice your way. Remember this rule: "Money and success follow attention and the right amount of attention comes with haters and naysayers."
If you want success, you better learn how to attract attention and love your haters because without them, you won't make it.
Here are five things to remember about critics, naysayers and haters:
1. All naysayers are quitters.
2. Critics and naysayers are spectators.
3. Never get emotional.
4. Never fear the hater; fear those who listen.
5. Never waste a hater.

Fox 2 contacted several top Detroit officials, the police union and former police leaders, but no one in authority wanted to talk about the latest allegations against Chief Ralph Godbee, but not everyone is keeping quiet.
We heard from a familiar Detroit cop, who said there is a fine line between personal business and what should be public, but when it starts to become a distraction something needs to be done.
"It's disappointing. I'm going to pray for the chief. Obviously, he needs help. Clearly he's lost his moral compass," said Officer John Bennett.
He called it a sad day. Chief Godbee, someone he considers a friend, was suspended for allegedly having a personal relationship with police officer Angelica Robinson. She is an underling who sources say was quickly promoted from the Child Abuse Unit to Internal Affairs around the same time their affair started over a year ago.

Bing suspends Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee
"All we can do at this point is pray that he find his way. He needs some help, I do think. He needs to seek therapy," Bennett said.
Why does he say that?
"This is not the first time. It seems to be habitual."
Records show Godbee filed for divorce on August 13 citing a breakdown in his 12 year marriage. Exactly what is not clear. Sources say there have been multiple women, many within the department.
The question is have those relationships become a distraction as Detroit's top cop tries to protect a city plagued with crime and when do those personal relationships become the public's business.
As a Detroit resident, does Phyllis Tensley care?
"Yes I do because I pay his salary and I think everybody should be given a fair chance, but don't misuse it."
"It doesn't look good, but then again the city (needs) more attention on the city than personal relationships," said Kevin White.
"I'm really not surprise, but I hope they get it together and get some people in here that (are) going to do what they (are) supposed to and not what they want to," said Natasha McKinney.
It's a sex scandal that could cost Godbee his job. Mayor Dave Bing has appointed Assistant Chief Chester Logan to take over until a decision is made, one Bennett said he and his fellow officers hope is done sooner than later.
"I don't know if the mayor intends to fire him. I would hope he would do the right thing and just step down and go seek some help."
From what we understand, there is no department policy against high ranking officers dating subordinates.
We couldn't get in touch with any city council members who wanted to talk about this. A spokesperson for Gary Brown just said he supports how the mayor is handling it.

Members of the New Black Panther Party made their voices heard outside the Sanford Police Department Thursday, calling for justice for 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, shot and killed nearly a month ago.
"Justice must come to the City of Sanford, justice must come to black people," said Mikhail Muhammad, Southern Regional Minister of New Black Panther Party.
"We want to make sure that right now this doesn't happen again, not just this community, but no community in America," said James Evans Muhammad of the Black Power Movement.
Not only did members of the panther party demand that George Zimmerman, the man who admitted to shooting martin, be arrested, they also said if the police won't find him, they will.
"George Zimmerman, I want to tell you today, you cannot hide George, we're going to find you -- we're calling on George Zimmerman to turn his self in or we will have to find him our self and turn him in," said Muhammad.
Members also called for the Sanford Police Chief to permanently step down, and handed out flyers with George Zimmerman's picture saying in big bold letters "wanted dead or alive," a statement they say shouldn't be taken literally.
"He's already dead any time a man is running from a crime he know he killed someone, he's already dead, he's mentally and spiritually dead," Muhammad said.
"When we say wanted dead or alive, look at the history of black people, this man is dangerous to the community," Evans Muhammad said.
Along with the Panther Party were members of the Sanford community also calling for Zimmerman's arrest.
"Do something with him, don't let him just keep walking around free as a bird like I killed him and it's alright, cause it's not," said Bernice Hayes of Sanford.
Community members say tension between Sanford Police and the black community has been escalating for years, and they're hoping Martin's case changes their city for the better
"I want to see this police department become unbiased and treat everyone the same, that includes George Zimmerman," said protester Rita Lucey.
The New Black Panther Party also says they plan to hold community forums this week, to allow people in the Sanford community to voice their frustrations.

Just letting you know that with all of the iNSD challenge stuff I had to do, I can't get the bonuses for this sent out until Monday. Sorry for the delay. Come and participate in the Sketch Marathon if you get a chance over the weekend.
Better late than never.

I just sent out the envelope and collage templates. I'm going to work on sending the quick album in the morning.
I used Journal Me This Bits & Add On by Studio 4. I tried something different for a Mother's Day card. Instead of making the card full of frillies and flower like I would normally, I tried colors that I could used for many themes. This way I could just change the name on the front of the card for whatever the occasion. I tried some different colors for the name Mom. Which one looks better? I can change the heart to red glitter too and do the name in red paper instead. Which looks better?

It's never a good idea to be driving in treacherous weather.
That is unless you're a trucker.
The bad conditions Sunday didn't stop most from heading out on the Ohio Turnpike to deliver their load.
Jake Webb was making a trip from South Bend, Indiana to Hazelton, Pennsylvania.
So far, so good.
"It's just wet. The roads are fine. Indiana was a problem but here it's fine," said Mr. Webb.
Pete Lopez is Albany, New York bound from Dearborn Michigan.
The roads are going to have to be dangerous to get him to pull over to the side of the road.
"Slippery. Ice. If the temperature drops, I think it's going to get bad. For now, as long as the temperature stays the way it is, I think it will be safe for the whole night," said Mr. Lopez.
The Pilot Rest Stop at I-280 and the Ohio Turnpike filled up with truckers taking a break from behind the wheel.
Most are wondering what the big deal is about a forecast of 6 to 10 inches of snow followed by frigid conditions.
"Because up in Buffalo, it really does snow an inch to 2 inches an hour," said Dan Ellis.
Joe Smith had similar sentiments.
"What's it going to take to keep me off of it? Nothing. I stay on. Load's got to get delivered," said Mr. Smith.
Northwest Ohio's arctic blast is just business as usual for the men who call an 18 wheel rig their office.

The Peoria Police department defending itself against allegations it set up a checkpoint to racially profile drivers.
They say it was purely for safety reasons -- but that's not the way some saw it.
The backup was long -- and the frustration high. Peoria Police officers questioned drivers and had cars towed away at a checkpoint along Grand Avenue in Peoria Tuesday night.
But just what were they looking for?
"We were really concerned with this," says immigrant rights activist Lydia Guzman.
Guzman says she received calls from concerned people who thought officers were conducting immigration checks.
"Is this an enforcement of SB 1070, is this another of Sheriff Joe's operation? There were a lot of questions."
The Peoria Police department says this operation was primarily to check commercial vehicle. But in a statement to FOX 10, police added that "a second component of this checkpoint was to check non-commercial vehicles for registration."
"It was amazing because right after Obama does his speech, then there are people coming from the valley, coming back from Vegas, driving back very excited and then suddenly being stopped and asked for their ID."
Peoria Police has decided to halt any further car registration checkpoints partly because of the traffic mess it created. But also, "we want our community members to know this operation never involved racial profiling and did not in any way target a driver's immigration status," police said.
"This does indeed cause a lot of mistrust in the community with the police and seeing the chief's reaction really puts us at ease," says Guzman.
"We are still going to meet with the chief of police, he has reached out to us so we can have our questions answered."

Mmmmmm... chocolate.
"You can really taste the different notes," my boyfriend says.
You just said "notes" while describing a beer you snob, I shoot back.
While Rogue's Voodoo bottles closely resemble that of a certain stomach aid liquid, do not be fooled. Each year these bottles show up with the most interesting flavor combinations.
Last night we broke into one of the two releases from the Voodoo line that I happened to pick up this year.
Meet Rogue's Voodoo Doughnut: Pretzel, Raspberry & Chocolate Ale
This beer had a very dark, medium bodied pour with a nice thin head of foam that lingered in the glass just long enough.
I found the ale to be rich in flavor with heavy chocolate flavors shining through and a nice contrast to the bitterness of the raspberry. I'm not really sure how the pretzel portion of the flavors comes through (if at all).
Overall I found this beer a good one to substitute for dessert and even better when shared with friends. The flavor is much too rich to take down a whole bottle on your own, unless you love getting serious gut rot.
I gif this beer:

Wal-Mart pays $66,000 to settle charges that it charged customers too much for Coke.
(WMC-TV) - Unlike the false promises of so many creams and lotions, a scar camouflage treatment holds up to what the name suggests.
The treatment might look like someone about to get tattooed.
Permanent Cosmetic Technician Jaudon Sunde worked her magic with paramedical scar camouflaging with Cindy, whose face was torn apart in a motorcycle accident.
"When they reconstructed my face they brought too much lip material up," said Cindy. "Every time I look in the mirror, it looks like I'm deformed."
The procedure, said to be pretty pain free, means defining the corner of her mouth with what will be a natural lip color when it is settled.
Sunde said it is tattoo technology, but advanced in that it is digital. It makes for 50 percent less trauma to the skin and 50 percent faster healing.
"We're implanting microinsertions of pigments into the dermal layer of skin ... It flows in as liquid and it heals as powder very quickly," she said.
The one who really puts scar camouflage to the test is burn victim Gary Hall – coming to Sunde for three years.
A house fire when he was 15 left him with a second degree and third degree burns from neck to waist.
"It looks a lot better than it did before. I would say 100 percent better," said Hall.
The camouflage did wonders for his entire neck not just in appearance but also loosing the tightened scar tissue to allow more movement. Although, that cause a kind of stretch mark which calls for a touch up once in a while.
Breast cancer survivors who have undergone reconstruction surgery often use scar camouflage.
Local make-up and tattoo artist Porter Whybrew with Eternal Beauty said she does a test spot first because scars can turn black on some patients.

I've loved dogs all of my life, but my first didn't enter my life until I was 22. It's only 4 years later and I can't remember life, or perhaps I don't want to remember life, without my fluffy Sheltie, Nemo. He humbles me. He inspires me get off the couch and take a walk. He reminds me to stop and smell the roses -- or in his case, more likely a garbage can. But no matter how much I love him, I know he loves me more. And that humbles me.

You can have a lot of dogs in your life, but the most dificult one is the one that draws you closer, the best one. Willful, spirited, a love/hate relationship at times. Molly and I had 12 years of camping across America - her trying to push me off cliffs, me trying to get her to heel. Together we experienced dog camp, coyote howls, tall grass prairie and much more. The tangible was the sights - intangible was the relationship. It was a companionship not ownership. Stunning blue merle coat, she was eye catching and knew it. I smile thinking of that backward glance she gave me just before she ran off to explore. Then a quiet two years, her heart was now enlarged. The walks short, more gazing out across the pond into the woods, for both of us. Molly, it was a great run!

I'm asked to put your existence and our pure love into 100 words or less. How can I share how my heart fills when you give me the stink eye, when you play bow when I'm trying to do pushups? How is it possible that a mere 21 pounds makes our family so utterly complete, and the house feels so empty even when you go the groomers for just a few hours? Since you came into my life I haven't had a good crying session, not because I haven't been sad, but because you attack me with kisses the second I shed a single tear. It's impossible to feel sad as the sincerity of your love and concern wash over me with your puppy kisses. Atticus, it's not an exaggeration to say that I simply don't remember what life was like when you joined our household just 3 ½ years ago. I know we existed, but I really can't remember if that even felt like living at all.

It's hard to put into words the infinite love I feel for my boy Charlie. He gives unconditional love that makes my heart melt everytime I look into his beautiful little smiling face. He has quirky little habits like barking at the solar lights (he's actually practicing for his American Idol tryout)in the backyard that makes me laugh. He is my little traveling companion, my agility partner, my snugglebug, the little guy that lifts my spirits everyday. For me, there is no love like Charlie love.

Sunny was a chronic fusser from birth, possibly the only pup ever to complain with a nipple in her mouth. Cuddle her litter mates? "Paw in the ear!" Sleep alone? "Cold!" Person picking her up? "No! Put me down!"
When she was two weeks old, I (the kennel help) decided it wasn't good for her littermates to get all the socializing. I scooped her up, ignored the objections, and lay down on the couch. On my stomach, she fussed, marched like a cat, made a contented gurgle, and fell asleep. Quietly.
After that, I was her person.

The day I met Kiwi I could never have known just how my life would change. She has been nothing but a blessing. We share a bond that is so unique. There isn't a day that goes by that she can't make me smile or laugh. At my lowest times she gives me the strength I need to continue on. Through her I have learned what it truly means to have unconditional love. I'm just so grateful that we found each other. If I had to express what Kiwi means to me I would just have to say, she is my heart.

Since my husband and I don't have children, we decided to get a dog - I can't even remember what life was like before Petey. He is our five-year old baby and gets coddled every day and treated like a King! We thought he would want a sister, so we got him one - another Boston Terrier named Penny. From day one Penny gave Petey a run for his money - she was constantly in his face, trying to snuggle with him when he didn't want to snuggle and basically being a pain. Penny just turned a year and they are now best friends. I can't even describe the love we feel for them. They are part of our Camelot and complete our family!

Furry little head, resting on my leg as we cuddle on the couch. A happy toothy grin as she waits for me to toss her toy. Her look of wide-eyed innocence, betrayed by tufts of said toy's stuffing strewn about the house. Jaunty plumed tail as she prances down the sidewalk, leading the way on our latest adventure. Stretched out between my husband and I, a sigh of sleepy contentment at the end of the day. Big brown eyes and sloppy kisses, full of unconditional love. My Sunny, my baby girl, my forever friend!

We have three dogs so it's impossible to pick a favorite. Peanut who we got as a puppy from the APA, A bit willful. Sally who jumped in Barb's arms at the Humane Society, a velcro puppy, and Riley, who because he was a big black dog spent way to much time at the Humane Society waiting for us. How he put his head on my thigh for the 40 mile ride home. It's not how we love them, but how they love us. The snuggles in bed at night. The protector dogs when I try to get the Momma. The joy of watching them in a field off leash. Nothing better.

I love my Gracie for her wiggly butt and squeals of joy when we walk through the door, whether we have been gone all day, or just 5 minutes. I love her for her snuggles on the couch, kisses, and hugs (that her dad taught her to do). I love her for teaching me about patience and responsibility. I love her quirky behavior that brings me joy and makes me laugh. I love that she isn't perfect (still tearing up kleenex from the bathroom trash when she knows it is wrong) but that she is a perfect fit in our life.

Coco is my doggie soul mate-I knew from the time I saw her that I would love her forever. Coco was an abused puppy- she had 1/2 of her left ear cut off, broken teeth & an infected puncture wound under her chin when I adopted her, but after many trips to the vet and LOTS of love-she is wonderful. She knows all of my moods (and still loves me anyway)-she is my snuggle puppy and I couldn't imagine life without my Coco baby.

My Boston Terrier was given to me as a birthday gift and he was the best gift that I have ever received. My husband gave him to me in order to train me and prepare me for kids. This tactic was a huge success. I have learned so much from my Boston such as patience (from trying to outsmart my boston to go outside during the middle of a new england winter) to unconditional love, to the beauty of silence - after a long day he can be found cuddled with me. Next to my Boston there is no one I would rather spend time with. We enjoy long walks together and games of fetch and I could find no better way to spend a sunny afternoon.
Because of all the love that we have for our "breeder" Boston, we have choosen to adopt a rescue Boston who is deaf to share our love. She has been a fabulous addition to our family. It has only been a week so it's love at first site, but I know that in a few months we will share our same deep love for her as we do with our first.

There's just something about this dog. There's just no logical explanation for this; I'm a grown woman with many fulfilling human relationships, but when I think about this dog--well, I behave like a lovestruck teenager. Maybe it's the way he cracks me up daily. I've always been a sucker for a wicked sense of humor and this dog has it in spades. Maybe it's his beautiful blue eyes that twinkle when he's up to mischief. Maybe it's that he embodies the idea that looks can be deceiving. He is SO beautiful and appears SO sophisticated, but in reality he's such a big dufus, that the juxtaposition makes me smile just thinking about it. I can't really explain. There's just something about this dog.

He was not supposed to be my dog. He came to rescue skinny and sickly but with the personality of his champion breeding. Sometimes he would come him home with me to get extra attention that he seemed to need. I introduced him to a few friends that I thought could give him a good home, they loved him as everyone he meets does, but found a reason that he would not be right for them. Then the rescue found a home for him in Switzerland and just the thought that I would never see him again made me realize that I was the one in love and now he lives with me. Happily ever after.

I love our 3 Chows equally, but I have a special spot for Rowdy, our youngest. We found him in a pet store and fell in love with him the first time we saw him. Already having 3 dogs, we weren't certain if a 4th would be a good idea. After returning to the store at least half a dozen times over a 3 month period, I couldn't leave him there another day. He was already 4 months old and getting big, so I made an offer they couldn't refuse and took him home. He is the sweetest big goof and his older siblings love him as much as we do.

It was love at first sight. My Lola is now 6 years old. She is a Bichon and has the energy of a puppy. My husband gave her to me on Valentine's Day 2002. I never had my own dog and was very excited. She instantly jumped on me and began giving me kisseeees. She is very special to me as she has been my companion through the good and bad. If I cried, no matter where she was in the house, she would find me and begin licking my tears. I love her and could never live without her. I don't have children so she is my first born. She sits like a little lady on her hind legs and flaps her paws when she wants my attention. What is there not to love about my Lola...
Milou is truly a kiss kiss bark bark dog! He seeks love and to be loved and that's pretty much it to complete his joy in life. He is a 7.5 year old white lab who was rescued from a foster situation. He is loyal, devoted, trusting and downright funny! He speaks on command, can give either paw and thinks he deserves a treat every time he goes outside to do business! He loves to hug too. He brings so much love into our home. Our life is richer because of his loving canine spirit.

Luigi is the great love of my life. I adopted him when he was 3 months, he was a Spina Bifida bulldog rescue. Since the day he came to live with me, we have formed a strong, unbreakable connection. He has shown me the true meaning of acceptance, loyalty and unconditional love. He is my gentle giant, loving and kind. He is forever my friend, forever my heart. Because of him i was able to open my heart and home to another SB bulldog, Santino. And those 2 have an incredible bond, beautiful to see!

Marley was a LOVER, not a biter. He awaited our arrival at the shelter. Strong, stoic and silent. We walked through the dog area and looked in each kennel; made our list of dogs to "visit". Through all of this, the handsome white dog waited. When his turn came, we were his. Marley came home with us and we felt complete. Our life involved Marley and his life involved us. We travelled, played, and talked together. Though he has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we still love our Marley-boy, our special soul-dog!

This is not my love story - it is a story about my husband. He always had dogs when he was growing up, but they had a place on your farm, not in your heart. After we were married we had dogs, but they were "her dogs", not his. Finally, twenty years later, I got him a dog of his own. A border collie, Spirit, who for the past five years has been the love of his life. They go everywhere together, including to work where she chases the geese off the golf course. We have taught her obedience, agility, and flyball. She plays frisbee with the best of them, and is his willing companion on daily 3 mile walks. Now my husband calls me and says "Have I told you how much I love my dog?" or "Have I ever told you how thankful I am that you got Spirit for me?"

This past August, my neighbor, who does rescue work, told me about about a nine year old black lab that was in need of a home. I was concerned about how this doggie would thrive in the high-kill shelter his owner wanted to place him in. When Barrett came to live with our family, I thought it would be temporary. I hoped my aunt, or another loving home, would take an interest in this sweet, sweet gentle giant. But it soon became apparent that we just couldn't part ways with our special "Care Bear".

No one in Hollywood writes how Mel Brooks writes, which means if you want to experience comedy at it's finest, you have to go back to The Producers or Blazing Saddles ( or countless others!) Mel pushed the limit of what was considered acceptable at the time, but he wasn't just relying on shock to make a movie. True wit is present as well.
Mel Brooks is receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is being presented to him by Martin Scorsese at the Dolby Theatre on June 6th. The gala being thrown by the American Film Institute will be aired on June 15th on TNT as a part of an all-night tribute to Brooks, and on TCM on July 24th.
