By Ed BrockIt took a jury just a few hours to convict Bobby Eugene Gray of murder in the death of a Hampton man described as a Good Samaritan. Gray, 45, is the second of two men now convicted in the Nov. 9, 2001 killing of Buford Evans of Hampton. James Stewart Odom, 46, was convicted in September and testified against Gray at this week's trial. Odom lived for a short time with 54-year-old Evans, a disabled veteran who, according to his family, tried to help many people. According to Odom's testimony, on the day of the killing he went with Gray to borrow money from Evans after a night of smoking crack cocaine. Odom also blamed the attack against Evans on Gray, saying he came back into the house from his car to find Gray standing over a bleeding Evans with a knife. Gray then pulled a gun and forced him to leave without calling police, Odom said. Police say Evans was stabbed several times and beaten. After about three days of hearing evidence in the case the jury was given the case for deliberation late Thursday afternoon. They deliberated for about one hour then and then came back with the guilty verdict just before noon on Friday, Clayton County Senior Assistant District Attorney Todd Naugle said. Gray will be sentenced next Friday, Naugle said.

Our first Wacky Bill of the Week is SB 2756 by Sen. Doug Jackson (D-Dickson) and Rep. John Tidwell (D-New Johnsonville). At a time when money is short, they've found a way to trim fat. Under the bill, state prisoners would get only two meals a day, except when a doctor says there's a medical reason for an inmate to eat more. Money saved would go for education, naturally.OK, it's hard to top that one for meanness. But how about this cruel jackassery from the twisted mind of Stacey Campfield? Under his bill, a down-on-her-luck welfare mother who hits the lottery jackpot won't celebrate for long. Hah! She'll have to give back that cash.

Kate Moss in Siwy
Rachel Bilson in Siwy
Rachel Bilson was spotted running errands in Los Angeles, California and later hanging out with a friend. She was wearing Siwy jeans in Wonder wash. It has been a while since she was spotted in these jeans. I think Rachel has the best washes when it comes to denim, I have yet to see her in a bad one. Rachel is definitely dressing for the crazy weather here perfectly. It is cold one day, then hot the next, then unexpected rain happens. Huh… only in Southern California can weather be like this. Buy these jeans here at Bluebee.
Editors note – Hehe you haven't visited England, it's like this every day of the year haha!

New Denim Brand: King Krash
For those of us that love PRPS jeans but just can't afford the high price tag, here is the solution! King Krash jeans were founded by denim legend Donwan Harrell, the man behind PRPS jeans! King Krash takes its inspiration from the illegal street racing days of 1970's Manhattan – an era of disco, fast women and even faster cars, where gang culture was rampant and the clothes you wore were as much a part of the scene as the racing itself.
A fervent muscle car junkie from a young age, Harrell ransacked his photo archives and those of his drag racing friends for King Krash inspiration. Each item is finished with Harrell's unrivalled attention to detail and wash techniques, faithfully replicating the stains, creases, abrasions and rips resulting from a life lived in the fast lane.
The price point of these jeans is from £105-£145. Much more affordable. What do you think of the cuts and washes? These jeans are available to buy at Coggles.com.

The Attorney General Office has ruled the jail sentence for a man who killed a Halifax Rugby Union player on a night out was not unduly lenient.
Dale McLean was given five years and four months in prison for the manslaughter of Andrew Feather, who died from a single punch while on a night out in February this year.
The AGO has been looking into the sentencing to see if the case needed to go to the Court of Appeal.

Thank you, (I hope I am spelling your name correctly) LeDawn. You were so very kind in checking my exhausted husband in after a long 36 hours in a moving van, with many more hours to come.

New York State Tries To Safely Accommodate Texting Drivers
By editor
Originally published on Tue September 24, 2013 7:13 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. New York State officials want to accommodate drivers who just can't resist the urge to look at their phones. Some people compare it to a crack addiction. But it's dangerous. So the New York State Thruway set up designated text stops where you pull over to do your business. Next, officials have the problem of getting people to hold off texting until they do stop, which explains the blue highway signs reading: It can wait, text stop five miles. It's MORNING EDITION.

Thank you, OP, for speaking your heart and 'putting it out there', knowing what a demented place GLP can be at times. You're a brave and honest soul.
Our ancestors, who speak to us through etchings on the walls of the caves they took shelter in during the last cataclysm, made great effort to warn us of the horrors they witnessed firsthand, and we should be grateful for that. On the other hand, the powers-that-be will NEVER warn us outright, as their mandates are, first and foremost, to maintain control over us, and secondly to get rid of us. They're hoping that the coming cataclysm will accomplish the second mandate in spades, and that up to that point, order will be maintained (for their safety and benefit). We are little more than a herd of unruly animals to them -- animals that must be sacrificed so that the 'chosen few' can inherit a 'cleansed' earth.
Celestial events (signs in the heavens) are better predictors than dates. Nearly equally as good is watching what the PTB are doing. I find it tellingly suspicious that the closer we get to the December 21st, the fewer references are made to it in the mainstream matrix. The virtual silence has become deafening. This contrasts sharply with the non-stop buzz about December 21st on the so-called alternative media.
When the mainstream matrix promotes something as being beneficial (for example, vaccines), it's almost always lies and hype, and the thing being promoted is invariably bad for you. Conversely, if it goes out of its way to trash and belittle something (for instance, organic food), it's almost always something that is good for you. This alone might be sufficient reason to believe that December 21st is something that should be paid attention to, simply because we are being told by the PTB's mouthpieces NOT to pay attention to it.
Remember Y2K? Remember the mainstream media fear-hyping how the world was going to implode technologically? REMEMBER HOW LITTLE TO NOTHING ACTUALLY HAPPENED?
Now we've got the PTB as one unified voice dismissing fears about December 21st. When I suggested that we should watch what the PTB are doing, this is part of it.
However, as mentioned, celestial movements are more important than dates. Something big is coming down the pipeline -- you feel it, I feel it, we all feel it. We will NOT hear about it on the daily 6 o'clock diversion. Earth changes like earthquakes, volcanoes and storms are not necessarily what you need to be watching for, either, as many of these events are being manipulated by technologies that we out here in the cheap seats can only guess at.
Watch instead the movements and behavior of those heavenly entities that are beyond man's control, and listen to the what the mainstream media isn't saying. That is where the real news is.
You, OP, have the same noble spirit of wanting to help and warn others as our ancestor survivors did. When the time comes, may you find your safe haven -- safe from the elements, and safe from the PTB. God bless you, OP.
Please verify you're human:

- wanted to like it but it feel very short by Pen on 8/30/2014
The idea is good but the acting is often like a poorly done "after school special". The message is forced. The (new) DVD I purchased was not scratched yet in one section the audio and picture are not discernible. Sadly it fits the Christian media stereotype. I've seen much better Christian films. I wanted to like it because I work with horses and children with special needs.
- Enlightening! by Karen on 7/9/2014
It's amazing what God and a horse can do to soften a young girls heart and attitude. Just watching the preview gave me continued peace and joy to myself. Thank you for this production. We need these types of films (videos) to keep God's Love and protection in our lives in these end times.
God Bless All God's Children!!

The Keystone XL oil pipeline is so popular! Ever since the Republicans won control of the Senate, it's become the Taylor Swift of political issues.
"We can act on the Keystone pipeline," the House speaker, John Boehner, said as he launched into his description of the next Congress.
What does it mean to be anti-Israel? This is a question that arises in Washington. Republicans have argued for years that President Barack Obama is anti-Israel, and -- just a wild guess here -- we will hear this charge even more frequently as 2016 approaches.
All right, all right, I didn't see the wave coming. All those margin-of-error polls seemed to suggest that Democrats would likely hold their own -- probably not keep the Senate but make a respectable showing overall. Wrong.
As Republicans take control of the Senate, two of the chamber's former leaders have come up with a wild idea: Senators ought to work a full week like most other Americans.
Former Majority Leaders Trent Lott, R-Miss., and Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said lawmakers should give up their habit of working only Tuesday through Thursday.
So what happens when a party that has defined itself as an insurgent outlier, scornful of compromise and dismissive of the legitimacy of its opposition, actually takes charge in Washington?
President Barack Obama hasn't even begun his state visit to China and he has already been mocked.
"U.S. public opinion has downgraded Obama," a state-run Chinese newspaper, Global Times, editorialized about Tuesday's election. "He has done an insipid job, offering nearly nothing to his supporters. U.S. society has grown tired of his banality."
Maintenance workers at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pa., airport shot and killed a bear and her three cubs.

|We already know Metta World Peace is too sexy for his cat. No word yet on where he stands with his shirt or car.
In case you were busy trying to figure out exactly when Brad Paisley and LL Cool J went off the deep end, heres the best of the email and Gchat fodder you missed from the sports world and beyond.
And while Metta may in fact be too sexy for his cat, it turns out the former Ron Artest thought he was quoting the actual chorus from Im too sexy. Ehh, cat? Shirt? Basically the same thing, right? Right Said Fred do say cat at the end of the song, so hes not totally wrong. Apparently the misinterpretation resulted in a lengthy debate in the Lakers locker room, and rookie center Robert Sacre even sang and danced to the song while wearing a cat wig. I have no idea what a cat wig is, but this has to be the most fun the Lakers have had all season.
