User reviews on Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection
I like Perry and have seen and enjoyed most of his films, but this one's a stinkburger. The writing's so awkward and unconvincing that I felt uncomfortable for the cast. I guess everyone's entitled to be off target sometime.
What's up with Madea? And when is she gonna go away, that's what I wanna know. I guess this was supposed to be a comedy but I think I might have almost laughed once. This is strictly si. cofare for those who think that seeing a sassafrass ol' black grandma on screen giving it straight to some white kids is entertaining. Not that I care if she's black or the kids are white, but it's an old formula that doesn't play well anymore (maybe Oprah thinks it's funny). I liked Doris Roberts as the grandma (she's always a hoot) and even Tyler Perry seemed to really be in the skin of the multiple characters he was playing (only one in drag, methinks) but you knew exactly how Madea was going to react to every situation and what she would say and how she would say it that the whole thing amounts to one big shrug (at best) and one endless yawn (at worst). May this be the last Madea movie EVER.
I think the movie was funny. Tyler Perry did well as usual....there were a lot of new actors and actresses and I liked the variety and characters.
Dear I'm not black,
Who says that you have to be black to watch a movie. From the moment I saw the words " I'm not black" I felt as if you were going to put this movie down a.s.a.p and I was right you did. I enjoyed the movie and just after reading your review. I am going to take more of my non black friends to see the movie. It so happens that we all love Tyler Perry movies and there funny to us. Plus the last few movies I went to had different ethnic backgrounds in it. In regards to your children if you took the time to teach them and raise them correct then they would know that all "elderly black women" do not act nor look like this. Last time I checked other races in the past have dress in what you call drag to make an outstanding movie for example To Wong Foo which had John Leguizamo, Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze and many other men dressed as a woman.
By the way, I don't think this will be his last movie by a long run. My 13 year old son said your just a joke and need to learn how to open your mind to better things in life. But the best part is segregation is over. I'm doing a good job. Hope your kids have a better view in life then you.
lol @ comment above saying they've definitely seen worse .. in other words, you just can't say it was a decent movie ... so the movie "wasn't not good" ... i guess tyler is damned if he does and damned if you doesn't! if there would have been a madea-mafia standoff, for example, then reviewers would have said madea was being her typical, predictable, and brash self .. no win! if she would have gone into her usual advice-giving, wisdom-giving self, she would have been too polemical/political ... no win! i'm glad tyler doesn't gauge his output on reviewers' flakiness. He'd become as schizophrenic as they are ... tsk!
A lot of my friends hate Tyler Perry's movies, though I'm not sure why. I don't think they're the best movies of all time or anything like that but I've definitely seen worse movies. The latest adventure with Madea has her protecting a family in the witness protection program from the FBI because they did some bad stuff on Wall Street like that Madoff guy.
There are some really hilarious bits in this movie, mostly between Madea and the spoiled kids she has to put up with. She doesn't put up with any of their crap, of course, which leads to a lot of comedy and funny scenes. She also does what she can to help the man whose family has to hide from the authorities. Madea is not just a granny in drag, she's also a good lady with a big heart and even bigger butt. I hope this isn't the last we get to see of her!
Haha, I will confess that I probably like the character of Madea more than I really should. Yeah, I know, she's kind of a stereotype of old black grandmas we've seen in movies since Eddie Murphy in "The Nutty Professor" but I'll give Tyler Perry the benefit of the doubt when he says that this character is based on real women in his life. I must also confess that I always - without fail - crack up when she goes "Hallelujer!"
This movie is about Madea putting up her home for a family (a white family, no less) that needs to hide from the FBI because they seem to have been running a ponzi scheme (albeit unknowingly). When they show up at Madea's, all sorts of tomfoolery ensues with Madea having very little tolerance for the ways of spoiled rich kids and their parents. In the end, Madea helps everything get set straight again and all is happily ever after.
This isn't a great movie, but it's a lot funnier than other comedies I've seen this summer, including "That's My Boy". It might be dumb, but at least you laugh out loud on more than one instance. Strictly for fans of Tyler Perry.
I'm not black so I won't venture to guess why black audiences seem to flock to Tyler Perry's movies but I do know what funny is and I just don't think that his movies are funny at all. I really don't like my kids to watch them because I think these movies plant negative stereotypes in their impressionable heads and I don't want them thinking that all elderly black women look and act a certain way. It's Tyler Perry in drag and that's about it. Nothing much to brag about, I'd say.
This is like the sixth or seventh movie featuring Madea and I hope it's the last. The only reason I went to see this is because the theater in the mall I was shopping at had someone giving out free tickets for a special screening and I had some time to kill. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, even for the few cheap laughs in the story that come at the expense of your own intelligence. I would say you're better off not having to bear witness to yet another forgettable story about Madea.

Rights take centre stage at 3rd global internet forum in India
The 3rd Internet Governance Forum (IGF) commenced in Hyderabad, India to continue addressing the issue of managing and harnessing the potential of Internet for the globalized world. Once again, the raging debate is whether the Internet should be controlled in view of challenges such as security, privacy, and pornography.
By: Gayathry Venkiteswaran, CIJ Executive Director
Hyderabad, India (7 December 2008):
Rights to the internet, gender perspectives and pornography were among
the hot issues that dominated the recently concluded 3rd Internet Governance Forum in Hyderabad, India.
civil society groups, to academics and governance institutions, there
was somewhat a feeling that the debates around internet and information
society had to take a step back to reflect on the fundamentals of human
reflect some of the developments and issues in many societies,
including Malaysia where the lack of data protection and rights to
privacy couple with strong efforts to control the Internet is bound to
make the space highly contested and challenged.
rights-based approach was a constantly heard phrase in a number of the
main sessions and the workshops as well as the dynamic coalitions that
had formed in the last three years around specific issues.
issue of internet access and use is not within the human rights
framework, and I wonder about the absence of the UN Special Rapporteur
on Freedom of Expression," said Prof Wolfgang Benedek, one of the
advocates of the Dynamic Coalition on Internet Bill of Rights.
European Union Privacy Commissioner Stefano Rodota said that it is not
sufficient to reinterpret the UN Declaration on Human Rights on freedom
of expression, and that "some contribution through this (IGF) process
could be important as the new generation of fundamental rights cannot
be compromised."
Gurumurthy of IT for Change, India said that the internet should be
viewed as a fundamental right like and linked to right to express,
right to information, right to education etc.
The Dynamic Coalition of Gender also made its representation
on the issue that "ultimately, a rights based approach to Internet
governance is the only safeguard for women to fully enjoy the potential
benefits of the Internet."
"Two of the five themes clearly
illustrated the ways in which Internet governance implicates rights of
central concern to women – on access and the questions of openness,
privacy and security", said the coalition, in a statement read out on 6
December on taking stock of the IGF.
A statement
prepared ahead of the IGF and endorsed by 107 organisations and
individuals also called for serious attention to address the "threats
against the publicness and egalitarian nature of the Internet," and how
the unconnected billions are being impacted by these threats.
the same time, other rights to multilinguism, child protection and
development were also highlighted as needing more attention in the IGF
The annual forum was held from 3 to 6 this month in the
midst of high security alert in various large cities in India following
the 26 November attacks in Mumbai. The first two forums were held in
Athens, Greece and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, respectively. The IGF was
set up as an outcome of the second phase of the World Summit on Information Society to provide a new forum for
multi-stakeholder policy dialogue. The next IGF will be held in Egypt.
three themes for the forum this year were"Reaching the Next Billion"
through access and multilinguism; "Promoting Cyber-Security and Trust"
discussing cyber security and cyber crime, openness, privacy and security; and "Managing Critical Internet Resources" with the transition from the IPv4 to IPv6 and other emerging issues.
Attending the opening of the forum was UN Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Jomo Kwame Sundaram who represented the UN Secretary General.
Transcripts of the some of the main sessions can be found at the IGF website.

Progressive Communications – Women's Networking Support Programme
(APC-WNSP) and with the support of the OpenNet Initiative project. She
also read out the statement on behalf of the Gender Dynamic Coalition
on the session on Taking Stock of the IGF. With in the picture is Dr. Heike Jensen, a project team member at the convention centre hosting the forum.

Are You A Lush?
For many wine lovers, the glass is half full...and it's a goblet. Experts pinpoint three ways to stay clean.
Two drinks—tops.
Here's a shocker: While 76 percent of American adults agree that wine is good for you, only 30 percent know the recommended limits for wine consumption. For the record, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Dietary Guidelines for Americans advises that women consume no more than one drink daily. Of course, that isn't always practical, and some doctors give a little wiggle room if you're not imbibing every day. "At two glasses in one sitting, you still have virtually no risk and reap many of the benefits of wine," says Stephan Kamholz, a professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. "Once you start moving to three, the benefits evaporate, and your long-term risks for things like breast cancer and liver disease begin to rise."
Size up your glass.
Though there's no "standard" wineglass (they can run anywhere from 8 to 16 ounces), Dietary Guidelines considers five ounces the daily serving size. Wilsnack advises filling an eight-ounce glass to the three-quarter mark.
Check the label.
Even if you're ruthless about your measurements, you may be drinking more booze than you intend. A 2011 study found that labels on many wines underestimate their alcohol percentages, sometimes by as much as more than one percentage point. That's problematic for a couple of reasons: Compared to men, women have a higher proportion of body fat, which can't absorb alcohol. This results in higher levels of alcohol in the bloodstream. In addition, hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle can increase the absorption of each glass by as much as 20 percent. So if you're drinking a wine with over 13 percent alcohol, adjust your consumption accordingly.

Well Mom says she is starting to get the hang of this computer stuff a little bit. She does not do Facebook, and Catster is new to us. She has been saying how pretty alot of the other kits pages are, and she does not know how to make ours pretty, but she found a badge to help give kitties free kibble by answering a fun trivia question. It tells you how to paste a link on your page & she was able to do it! She is really excited, but I purrsonally think Mom can do anything - I mean who else knows just how I like my food & how I like my toenails trimmed & which treats are my favorite ones? Although The Dad knows how to brushie a kitty just right, she does pretty good too. She says she wants to add a couple more links to help out kitties too, so she is working on that. We were all so upset about the poor kitty Mango. Mom says she would take Mango in a a tailswitsh & bring her home to live with us & love her. We are so glad that she is doing better.

The article titled, 4 Actions toward becoming an agile entrepreneur , discussed activities that help one hone the skills. In Agile thinking helps entrepreneurs achieve success , other actions are listed that help one become more agile in their thinking. "Agile Thinking" is a skill that can be developed and sharpened. The skill can help one become better positioned to take advantage of significant events or even help create those significant events. It is possible to improve one's odds of success by not being so rigid and learning to be more agile or flexible in their thoughts and actions.
Watching the NBA playoffs yesterday, it was interesting to see two teams play where one dominated the game until the last 5 minutes. It appeared the game was to be a blow-out until the end game. The team that was ahead seemed to either run out of steam, or forget their team-game. It was at this time the underdog and final winner overpowered the other side. Winning in business or in sports requires remaining energetic, focused and agile until the game is over. No one remembers how great you were during winning parts of the game, they only remember who won. This is enhanced if they were your investors. The investors only win if you win and they lose if you lose.
There are various skills that need attention and must become part of your makeup if you wish to be agile in your thinking. Agile thinking can increase your success as an entrepreneur. Agile thinking includes agile actions and attitude. The following list provides a few more to add to your list:
1. Keep up the pressure – Entrepreneurs must keep the pressure up and continue to seek ways to grow on a daily basis. Even those having a successful running business can seek methods to increase their prospects. It is hard to know when some event will negatively affect your business, so vigilance and continued agile thinking is critical.
2. Adjust plans as needed – Managers are taught to focus and this is a critical skill to develop. However, agile thinking allows for adjustment in plans when required. The ability to see events and identify adaptive actions can be important to success.
3. Try something different – It is a rare event that a plan is successful when first conceived. In fact, it is rare that an agreement written between parties will be viewed the same a few years later. Trying different approaches or experimentation helps one learn what works and does not work. Adapting to the differences that may occur in a failing agreement may be extremely helpful. The key is to find what works and learn how to stay away from those things you know lead to failure.
4. Get feedback – No one knows everything needed and the specifics of your business are not taught in school. On the job experiences are helpful to enhance your skills. Learning to interact and obtain feedback from people with different experience levels is critical to your selecting the better choices. Their failures can be used to help you build better chances of success.

The Duplin County Animal Control served a search warrant on Friday and seized 50 dogs, and puppies from a suspected puppy mill in Dublin County, N.C. according to Friday's news release from The Humane Society of the United States.
In a joint effort of the HSUS, Duplin County Animal Services, Pet Friends of Duplin County, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Wake County, both large breed and small breed dogs were rescued from egregious living conditions. Kennels were filled with feces and urine, clean water and food was not available, and many of the dogs suffered from ear and eye infections.
The breeds were German shepherds, dachshunds, and Yorkshire terriers. The owners have surrendered all of the dogs.
North Carolina has no laws governing the sale of pets from commercial breeding facilities either in public or online. Considered one of the best states to be a commercial breeder of dogs, this makes the 20th puppy mill raid for the HSUS in the last three years.
In January, 17 dogs were rescued from a puppy mill in Alexander County, N.C. Read that story by clicking here.
In October 2012, over 100 dogs were rescued from Garner, N.C.
The HSUS has established a reward program to offer up to $5,000 to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of a puppy mill operator for animal cruelty. Persons wishing to report a valid tip are encouraged to call 1-877-MILL-TIP and will remain anonymous.
The dogs will be examined and treated by veterinarians and then be available for adoption. According to Duplin County Animal Services:
"We see a lot of interest in the small breed dogs, picked up yesterday. A majority of those went to Wake SPCA and should be available for adoption soon. You can find all their info online as well at www.spcawake.org."

We%26rsquo;re going to stay away from practically impossible scenarios (Chrono Trigger 3) and franchises that have been effectively dead for years (Golden Sun) despite how much we desperately want to see new editions. If you like what you see, know that two of the seven games we wanted announced at E3 2008have appeared, so with any luck at least two of these will show up too.
Two years ago we knew Modern Warfare was on the way, but had no idea just how groundbreaking and fresh its take on the series would be. Its present-day thrill ride challenged (and exceeded) everyone%26rsquo;s expectations for the fourth game in a well-worn series. The follow up? World at War, another trip through the era videogames refuse to let die. Modern Warfare 2 deploys later this year, and call us cynical, but something tells us it%26rsquo;ll lack the surprise %26ldquo;oomph%26rdquo; of CoD4. That%26rsquo;s why, next time, we want even more modern-er warfare %26ndash; yes, a trip to the goddam future.
Above: Same old World War II
Above: GODDAM HELL LASERS!
We don%26rsquo;t mean generic alien shoot %26lsquo;em up though. We want a CoD4-quality tale, with all the twists, set pieces and engrossing missions intact, just flung 200 years into the future. Think the battles are insane now? Imagine if you could actually see the various projectiles being fired at you from every conceivable angle, with multi-colored laser blasts casting their own light as they trace through the sky, ripping holes in space station titanium. Crazy!
Above: Like these, only without George Lucas%26rsquo; touch of death
Granted, %26ldquo;space marine%26rdquo; is no less tired than World War II, but we feel blending Infinity Ward%26rsquo;s keen eye for explosive spectacle with creative new weapons untethered by reality would result in yet another million-selling, genre-splicing shooter %26ndash; plus keep the now-recharged series from slipping into another go-to rut. Any word on the next CoD won%26rsquo;t come until Modern Warfare 2 is out the door though, so this could be a December tip at best.
Asking for a decent Sonic game in this day and age is akin to not just beating a dead horse, but digging up that horse%26rsquo;s grandparents and reanimating them for the sole purpose of beating them all over again. It%26rsquo;s been years since a respectable entry to the series (that%26rsquo;d be 2005%26rsquo;s Sonic Rush) and after the atrociously awful Werehog debacle, we%26rsquo;re not too sure there%26rsquo;s anything better coming down the line.
Above: F*CKING STOP!
However, our affection for Sega%26rsquo;s ailing mascot remains inexplicably intact. No matter how bad things get, we%26rsquo;ll always raise an eyebrow at the next game, only to be crushed in the end. So, seeing as the most beloved, well received Sonic games in history are the three 16-bit originals (meh to Knuckles), why not announce a Mega Man 9-style sequel that cranks up the Blast Processingto absurd degrees.
Above: How many times do we have to ask?
Capcom pulled it off perfectly. Who%26rsquo;s to say Sega can%26rsquo;t do the same and revitalize one of gaming%26rsquo;s longest running franchises by taking it back to its nearly forgotten roots? Give us a reason to care, Sega %26ndash; announce a 2D Sonic before we truly lose all hope. We promise we%26rsquo;ll stop hating on him.

My girlfriend has seizures...
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Hi folks. I've been dating an amazing girl for some months now. She has seizures, bad ones, and all the other side effects that go along with the treatment of epilepsy; the meds make her feel drugged and out of it, and she hates it, and she forgets things, and hates it, and worries about seizures, and hates it more than anything. I want so badly to reach out to her; but when she's having a rough time I don't know what to do or say. I know it bothers her when she feels like I'm checking up on her. It bothers me when I can't answer my phone and it turns out she's been having seizures. How can I be there for her....what do you say when you can't make it better? What do you want to hear when things are so bad and saying "It's ok" is probably not true?
Also, is it possible to make sure someone is not biting their tongue during a seizure?

The best thing you can do is comfort her, buy her a gift or take to places that you both agree on, and both of you are happy. Have an enjoyable conversation with her, that is not stress related. As for her medical condition, leave that up to the treating doctor(s). In the awake of a seizure, try NOT to restraint the person down, but rather move objects out of the way, to prevent injury. Don't put anything in the person's mouth to prevent biting or swallowing the tongue, the convulsions should slowly stop.

Hey hang in there! You're still around and that's awesome! I have seizures and my partner stuck by me and now we are happily married, and now I don't have them. We are considering having babies too. Remember seizures are a condition (often short term) and not who she is. It can alter lifestyle but is manageable. Let her know that you will always be there and you will everything you can even if you can't answer your phone. Maybe you could tell your boss the situation and just say that sometimes you will need to make a phone call to make sure she is okay. It is really hard for her. There are two ways in which medication can fail: 1 it doesn't control the seizures, and/or 2 if there are side effects. Because her medication is failing in both ways, she is probably be on the wrong one. Once that is sorted out then it won't be hard on either of you. She can be more independent and you won't have to worry as much. Also, don't let her drive, and don't let her have a bath or swim by herself. Even though I am seizure free my hubbie won't let me (he cares too much apparently :)

Preston County Residents React to Holiday Winter Storm
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on November 27, 2013 @ 7:00PM
Created on November 27, 2013 @ 6:50PM
Oh the weather outside was frightful for many people across West Virginia on Wednesday. Preston County was one of the areas that was expecting to get hit hard with snow, but officials are saying everything went smoothly.
Preston County Sheriff's Department Sergeant Rick Turner said, "We've had a few fender benders, but nothing too major accident wise."
The winter storm has caused major headaches for a lot of people traveling for Thanksgiving. The timing wasn't ideal, but many people believe the people in our area lucked out.
Preston County resident Sara Ashby said, "It came at an inconvenient time because it's Thanksgiving, but at least it's not that bad for all the people coming for thanksgiving and stuff like that."
The roads were slick all day long, but thanks to most of the wet weather being rain and not the white stuff drivers claimed the roads weren't bad.
"They were a little icy but nothing like they were calling for. For Preston County it could be a lot worse," said Preston County resident Mike Warnick.
Sergeant Turner said, "It's definitely a win for us as far as the roadways and everything goes."
Officials are giving credit to the Department of Highways crews for the hard work they did pre treating the roads and clearing the snow quickly. Many people weren't disappointed that Mother Nature took it easy on them this time around.
"We get some bad storms here in Preston County. When one misses you it's not so bad, it's a good thing," said Warnick.
Officials are warning drivers that they still need to be careful. Temperatures are dropping which means roads could ice over quickly.
"There are still spots that are treacherous. Everyone still needs to pay attention and slow down," said Turner.
Officials want everyone to go slow and stay safe behind the wheel as they travel towards their Thanksgiving destinations.

Queen Of The Nile 2 Slot
The first Aristocrat slot machine to come online was
Queen Of The Nile 2
, a land-based slot machine that is very popular, particularly down under. The game has a free spins bonus triggered by the 3 or more Pyramid scatters, where you can choose the number of spins and multiplier you want. From 5 spins at 10x up to 25 spins at 2x in increments of 5 spins.
For those of you familiar with IGT's
Cleopatra slots
then the Queen Of The Nile 2 slot has a similar Egyptian based theme. In fact, the original version of
Queen Of The Nile
was the inspiration for games like Cleopatra and IGT's
Pharaoh's Fortune slot
. The game itself is a little dated but then you could say that of many Aristocrat slot machines. Like Novomatic slot games such as
Book Of Ra
, Aristocrat have a common ground in terms of graphics and sounds across all of their slot machines and the Queen Of The Nile 2 slot is no different. Despite the dated look, it's a decent game capable of some very decent payouts.
One odd thing worth noting about Aristocrat's online slot games however is that they are developed by two separate entities who each have thir own distribution agreements! What this means unfortunately is that you won't find all Aristocrat's games at one single casino. The list of casinos above are the more prominent ones or you can check out Casino Comparer's
Aristocrat casinos
for a comprehensive list. If you want a breakdown of which games are where, the
Aristocratslots.org site
has a full list of all their games and where they can be found online.
There are several more
Vegas slots on OCV
that are similar in style to Queen Of The Nile II, including several classics from land-based casinos you will undoubtedly know such as
the Pompeii slot
Choy Sun Doa
. For Aristocrat "pokie" fans, you may also wish to know that they have released the 5 Dragons, 50 Dragons, Miss Kitty and
50 Lions
games at
along with the original version of
Queen Of The Nile
- the one with a simple free spin feature of 15 free spins at 3x rather than the options presented in this sequel. Games like
Red Baron
are also available to play online at
Bet365 Games
, along with Queen Of The Nile 2,
Lucky 88
Where's The Gold?
Aristocrat are committed to bringing more games online each year. By the time you read this, Big Red, Sun and Moon and More Chilli will be available to play for real on the
MoneyGaming website
with other IGT and Aristocrat titles and also more recently, some Ainsworth slots which are so similar to Aristocrat's, you could be confused for thinking it was the same company ;)

Ferguson police officers clashed once again last night with a violent wave of irate protestors, undermining what up until that point had been a relatively peaceful two days in Ferguson, Missouri – a small town interposed with race-driven dissent and violent protests.
Writes The Associated Press via MSN News on Aug. 15: "Anger spurred by the death of a black teenager at the hands of a white police officer boiled over again when protesters stormed into a Missouri convenience store — the same one Michael Brown was accused of robbing."
The AP report says that 200 protestors took to the streets late Friday night and early this morning, enraged by the information released yesterday by Missouri Police Chief Tom Jackson. While Jackson released the identity of Michael Brown's killer – a white, six-year officer named Darren Wilson – Jackson also indicated that when Wilson stopped Brown for questioning, the officer had no clue about the convenience store robbery.
That admission, coupled with what Brown's family is calling a scheming and unprompted release of video that supposedly shows Brown being involved in the robbery, led to yet another night of looting, violence and more arrests.
Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed last Saturday after a scuffle involving Brown and another man, 22-year-old Dorian Johnson, occurred inside of a Ferguson patrol car. Brown, who was reportedly unarmed, was shot after the confrontation continued outside of the police car. The shooting — and the initial decision by police to withhold the officer's name — had sparked week long protests and violent riots and looting.
Friday night, looters broke into Ferguson Market & Liquor – the same store that police accuse Michael Brown of stealing a $50 box of cigars from. Police in riot gear stepped in; a skirmish line of police and squad cars was set up nearby, and rioters began to chuck rocks and other objects.
The renewed violence comes just a few days after Missouri police Capt. Ron Johnson, a 27-year veteran of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, was appointed by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon as chief of security operations in the riot-driven Ferguson. Johnson, who was seen leading a crowd of peaceful protesters Thursday night, said a "new approach" was needed to deal with the continued unrest and looting. Nixon said he was outraged over the "heavy-handed tactics" of police, and turned matters over to Ferguson and his troopers.
The AP report cites Johnson saying he believed other stores were hit by looters, and says a "crowd that had surrounded the convenience store dispersed but continued north. Two men in white undershirts threw debris through the windows of a liquor store and could be seen walking through the store as an alarm wailed."
Surveillance video released by the police at the same time they named Brown's killer was condemned by the mostly black community – both for its content and the timing of the release.
"[The police] have attempted to taint the investigation," U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay said via a bullhorn last night. "They are trying to influence a jury pool by the stunt they pulled today."
The video shows a man matching Brown's description grabbing and shoving a store clerk back and into a display rack. Brown and another man are accused of walking out with a box of cigars.
Writes the AP:
Family attorney Daryl Parks acknowledged the man in the footage "appears to be" Brown. But he and others said Brown's family was blindsided by the allegations and release of the footage. They said that even if it was Brown, the crime didn't justify the shooting after Brown put up his hands in surrender, as witnesses describe.
Anthony Gray, who is representing the Brown family, released a statement that said: "There is nothing based on the facts that have been placed before us that can justify the execution style murder of their child by this police officer as he held his hands up, which is the universal sign of surrender."

Mutability Theme of Time
Mutability and time go hand in hand. Sometimes the world changes suddenly, but more often it changes gradually, over time, so slowly that we don't even notice. And sometimes the first kind of change leads to the second, as with the tower that gets knocked over by time's erosion. Older things, of course, are more likely to fall prey to time. Wordsworth was middle-aged when he wrote "Mutability," so he probably had the effects of time on his mind. When we're young we think of ourselves as indestructible, but Wordsworth's metaphor of the falling tower shows how far this image is from reality.
Questions About Time
- Why does Wordsworth mention only that forms "that bear the longest date" tend to change? Can you think of examples of things that change quickly despite not being very old?
- Does Wordsworth think that "time," "dissolution," and "mutability" are all the same thing?
- Why can't we "imagine" the touch of time? What does he mean by "unimaginable"?
- How do the people described in lines 5-6 relate to time differently than more pure-hearted people?
Chew on This
Wordsworth embeds subtle allusions to the passing of time in the poem, such as the use of "low to high" and "high to low" to hint at the movement of the sun.
According to the poem, criminals and greedy and over-anxious people cannot understand change because they are too focused on short-term goals and problems; they cannot take a longer view.

"Mom, I Made a New Friend!"
Social skills do not come naturally to children with ADHD. Help your child make and keep buddies by following these "friendly" strategies.
Be a Play Date Observer
Talk to your child about what makes a good friend, and which behaviors are, and are not, appropriate. Coach your child on how to behave during a play date—say hello, don't interrupt, etc. Make an excuse to hang around in a nearby room to see how things go. Parents who get the best results intervene at the "point of performance"—in the setting where and when the skill is required. As your child gets older, it's best to let him handle social situations on his own, but be available to talk.

If You Want to Get Ahead, Stop Talking!

Like all of you, I have interacted with thousands of people over the years. Having spent 25 years in recruiting and most of that time in Human Resources, my numbers are probably higher than most. I can't tell you how many of them were bored, burned out, frustrated and wanted more from their career. They talked about it all the time. There was just one problem – all they did was talk about it. There was very little (or ver...
Market Your Skills for a Second Income
by Rowe Leathers - Aug, 2015
I am an enthusiastic believer in volunteering as the best way to gain experience in a new field. However, as some have pointed out, those with busy schedules and tight budgets rarely have free time to give away. For many, the little time that can be carved out needs to be utilized to earn additional income. If you are one of the many who would welcome a second income, it may be a good time to assess your knowledge and talen...
The LinkedIn Summary Dilemma: Use "I" or Not?
by Jean Cummings - Aug, 2015
LinkedIn profile writing is a challenge. And there are ways in which the LinkedIn profile summary section is still the Wild West. The LI summary is a blank page only restricted by the 2000 character limit. There are no requirements for anything in particular, such as listing your jobs and dates. So why is it important to worry about this? And what should you do? People know that LI is the premier business networking site. I...
Three Ways to Slam Dunk on Your Next Interview
by Mary V. Davids - Aug, 2015
Interviewing can be a stressful process, but if you prepare for the good and the bad, you will have full control of the process and not allow it to have control of you. Once you have received an invitation to talk more about your potential value to an organization, you are half way there. It then is up to you to do the rest. 1.Don't overlook the receptionist. In a past post I explained the importance of a receptionist. The...
When to NOT Answer a Call from Recruiter
by Jean Cummings - Aug, 2015
The other day I was in the zone! I was laser focused on writing a high-impact, succinct, and ATS-friendly resume for a client with a very high-powered career in a fast-changing, highly complex industry. My mind was bearing down to understand deeply and then put into a very few words the value and power of what he brings to the table. Then, cut to next scene! My iPhone rings. Usually I have the sense to not answer my work p...
Why Having a Mission Statement for Your Social Media Mission Can Help
by Tiffany Young - Aug, 2015
Mission statements may seem overused and irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, but a well-crafted one can communicate to your audience your purpose and why they should care. This is also true when considering having a social media presence for business and personal. Ask yourself, "Why am I on social media?" If you're like most people who joined social media because their high school and college friends did, then you pro...
1 Habit That Could Save Your Job & Your Life
by Michelle Kerrigan - Aug, 2015
I am often asked: "Of all the habits you can develop in your career, what are the top ones for success?" Focus is, without doubt, in the top 4. In this high-pressured, rapidly changing world, many people think multitasking is the answer to increased productivity. However, what you may not know is that it can take up to 15 minutes to reorient yourself each time you switch gears and move from task to task. Add this time...
3 Ways to Plot a New Career Change
by Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter - Aug, 2015
Does the following sound like something you've said? I want to change jobs or industries but I don't want to take a cut in pay. I want to move to a different part of the country – or world – but I refuse to pay for relocation. I want to improve my circumstances, but I don't want it to be uncomfortable, or hard. I know I'm smart, have proven myself and have a lot to offer, so changing my job, and my life, shouldn't be that d...

The blend of low house prices, still-low interest rates and appealing tax incentives can sure help the discerning buyers find real bargains. But the process of buying a home can be off-putting at times. The following tips can come handy:
Why Buy a House Now
Falling Prices: There has been a downfall in the home prices due to the recession.
Real Estate Investment: Investing in real estate remains as the most viable option as it not only ensures secured future but helps one reap the benefits of a comfortable living in the present as well.
Interest Rates are Reasonable: Though the interest rates have risen from their historic lows earlier this year, they are still affordable for those seeking loans.
Tax Credits are Available: The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. enables the first-time homebuyers to get up to $8,000 back till Dec. 1, 2009, from the tax credits implemented. Besides, legislators are considering an increase in the credit to a limit of $15,000.
1. Figure out How Much you can Afford
This is the most important step when you go in for any kind of investment. The expenses for house must be kept below 35 percent of your total income. Breathing room in your budget would surely help during times of contingencies.
2. Be Ready for Down Payment
Ideally, a down payment of up to 20 percent is essential today. In case you do not have this amount, it is advisable to talk to your mortgage lender about your options.
3. Consider Your Credit Scores
You need to check your credit score before investing in a house. Credit scores range from 300 to 850, with the median U.S. credit score about 725. If your score is lagging, you can improve it by paying every bill on time and disputing any erroneous information on your report.
4. Know about Mortgage Insurance
Mortgages with less than 20 percent down payment require Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) in case the owner defaults on the loan. When mortgage is paid up to 80 percent or less of the home's value, the home owner can request the lender to cancel the PMI and then be able to stop paying the additional amount.
5. Know about Indirect Expenses
The principal and interest on a mortgage payment are only the beginning of home-related costs. Escrow payments - the funds withdrawn to cover home insurance and taxes - and PMI can add a few hundred dollars per month to a mortgage payment.
6. Look out for Fraud by Timely House Inspection
Home inspection is a must before you go in for a deal. This would give an insight into the actual conditions of the house as some of the lowest priced homes today are "fixer-uppers" or homes sold "as is" due to foreclosure. This would also help you determine the approximate cost of fixing the problem parts in your future house.
Despite the prevailing meltdown in the market, housing remains a good long-term investment. Doing your homework on the basis of said pointers above can assure an investment made well.

A Modern Day Finishing School For Dogs
No Dog Left Behind!!!
Welcome to Rolling Meadows Academy, North Carolina's First and Leading Specialists for In-Kennel Obedience and Etiquette Training! Established in 1995, we have had over 15 years to establish ourselves as leaders in the education of pet dogs and their families!
We invite you to look around and see the wide variety of dog training services available to both present and future dog owners. Our mission is to present universally accepted, modern, dog training services in the highest professional manner available today, "Guaranteed".
Our nationally certified trainers/instructors specialize in the most up to date, positive reinforcement dog training methods for all sizes, ages and breeds of dogs, including pure bred and mixed breed.
Our goal is to create a life-time of dog/owner relationships by teaching you how to properly communicate with your dog using voice commands and hand signals. We have trained over 8,000 dogs in our In-School dog training program for satisfied clients in over 42 US states including Alaska and Puerto Rico.
people reluctant to come inside your home because it looks like they'll get
slobbered, pounced, or peed on by your dog? Do your dogs love to greet a
visitor with all the joy of meeting a new playmate? Does your dog defy
gravity to get a good lick at a visitor's face? Even if you don't mind this
behavior, the odds are very good that your visitors do. Submissive urination
can be controlled, and you can teach your dogs not to ambush your visitors
with a little (okay, a LOT) of patience.
Regardless of the amount of training your dog has had, a dog without Manners isn't any fun to live with. All dogs need Manners. Manners are different from Basic Obedience, and are rarely covered in Group Obedience Classes… In our In-School Obedience Courses we educate dogs in proper etiquette and manners to become a joy to live with and socially accepted as a Canine Good Citizen.
Manners are polite, socially accepted, appropriate behaviors.
For example, we teach Manners to children. We teach them to not talk with their mouths full; how to properly answer a telephone call and take a message; we teach little boys to put down the toilet lid (!) and little girls to not stick their tongues out at little boys (!). We teach all of these things, in addition to teaching them how to read, write and do arithmetic.
In a similar way, we teach dogs a degree of self-sufficiency so that they can manage themselves in social situations or when left alone. Manners should be taught in addition to the command-oriented behaviors like Coming when called, Sitting, lying Down, and Heeling.
I'm not very impressed with a dog and handler that can obtain a high-level obedience title. I AM IMPRESSED with a highly trained companion dog, that's welcome everywhere because it also has good Manners in addition to basic obedience skills. In other words, just because a dog has completed an obedience course, or has a few titles, doesn't mean it's any fun to live with on a day to day basis!
Likewise, with a dog, it's much more challenging to have an obedient and well-mannered companion, than to get the dog to perform in the controlled environment of the obedience ring. In the real world, there are many things that challenge your dog that won't be there in the obedience competition ring.
The goal in teaching a dog Manners is for you to have a dog that is going to be welcomed, not a nuisance, and trustworthy wherever you go, even if the dog is left with someone else. In other words we don't just train obedience commands, we train manners (Doggie Etiquette).
Manners are not usually command-oriented behaviors although we do teach commands to remind him of his bad behavior. Behaviors are things that you expect the dog to learn and practice without you having to supervise them when they are adults. Manners should be a way of life for your dog.
In our specially designed 3 week basic obedience and etiquette course we concentrate on teaching manners to dogs in addition to obedience, so that they are welcome and accepted into social situations. All dogs enrolled in our 3 Week Basic Obedience and Etiquette program are taught the following Doggie Etiquette (Manners):
Acceptance Of Guests: All dogs need to be taught a proper greeting routine at the front door. The dog doesn't get to jump up on the guest, sniff them in inappropriate places, continue to bark or growl, or mouth their hands. Once the guest is invited in the home, the dog should not be allowed to bother the guests, but instead be taught to go and lay down at a designated Place. It is your job to supervise your dog and make sure your dog isn't a bother to your guests. It's not only the polite thing to do, but you aren't putting your guest in the position to have to correct your dog for you. If you don't correct your dog, then they will (and don't be surprised if they resort to methods that you wouldn't approve of).
Respect For Boundaries: I believe that a dog should be taught that it can't run out the front door, go into the garage, open or get into cabinets and closets, or get on some or all of the furniture; and it can't leave the car w/o permission. This is an issue of safety as well as Manners. It's no fun chasing after a dog that's run away, and it's no fun having to hold or block a dog at the front door every time it is opened. Some dogs also become too big for their britches when allowed on furniture, and then feel that they have the right to use aggression to "discipline" the family and guests.
Respect For Family including pets: Adult dogs shouldn't be allowed to jump on, mouth, mount, discipline, or body block family members. In addition, dogs shouldn't be allowed to beat up the cat or another household dog (but they should be allowed to create and maintain a reasonable pack order). Adult dogs shouldn't also be allowed to do any other "bratty" behaviors. Leaving a dog in the back yard all day doesn't teach these lessons. Instead, they are learned by living with the people, and getting the 100,000 little corrections that dogs need to get as they grow up to become adults. Dogs need a family to become part of the family. These are things that YOU have to do with your dog — you can't just send your dog off somewhere to be fixed, like a broken VCR. I can show you, but it will still be up to you to teach them because living with a dog is about establishing a RELATIONSHIP.
Respect For My Things: No destructive chewing, no stealing of objects, no urine marking in the house. Sometimes a dog is being destructive because the dog is suffering from Separation Anxiety. That's not an issue of respect, and shouldn't be treated that way. On the other hand, normal puppies should be expected to tear up your place until you teach them what is and isn't acceptable to chew on. I don't believe that you can trust a dog to be alone in your car or home until the dog is around 1 year old, AND you've actively worked on teaching the dog acceptable chewing habits. If you aren't sure whether your dog is chewing because of a lack of Manners, or because your dog is suffering from Separation Anxiety, you SHOULD NOT apply a remedy until you've talked to me about it and gotten a diagnosis.
Able To Play On Their Own: I don't like going over to people's houses when their kids can't play on their own. I feel that children should be taught to live a balanced life: able to both interact with people AND be able to entertain themselves: a coloring book, Disney video, eating a snack, playing with a toy, etc. When a child cannot allow other people to visit, then the adults need to teach the child, and encourage them, to learn to play by themselves. We want them to learn to be self-sufficient adults. Likewise, I believe a dog should be taught to chew on a chew toy or play with a play toy, if it has nothing else to do, instead of constantly pestering the owners and guests for attention.
No Inappropriate Aggression: No "stink eye" (staring and posturing against friendly people or animals), no growling, and no biting. There are several reasons why a dog should be allowed to be aggressive: legitimate self protection, establishment and maintenance of a pack order with the other dogs in the house, protection of territory, protection of the family from attack, legitimate police or sport or protection work, and legal hunting purposes. All other forms of aggression are unacceptable Manners and need to be suppressed.
Manners In Public: Your dog should be welcome everywhere that dogs are allowed. All dogs should be expected to be able to Heel, Sit, Down and Come in public, plus have proper public Manners.
Respect For the Pack Order: Dogs need to become a member of your human "pack." That means they view the world as them being accountable to the family, not on a "hunt", and not the leader. You can't properly manage a dog, especially one of the more dominant breeds, without being your dog's leader. For example, dogs shouldn't take YOU for a walk, which is tantamount to them ignoring your leadership, but you should be taking THEM for a walk. It makes all the difference in the world when you need them to obey in a distracting environment. You need to be a loving "parent" of, and leader to, your dog. Dogs should be allowed to set up a pack order with the other animals in the household. When we interfere with the formation of a pack order among the animals in the household, we can cause our dogs to fight with one another.
Dogs don't come pre-programmed with good Manners from the "factory." Manners have to be taught. Teaching a dog Manners isn't any fun. It requires a lot of hard work and constant supervision. I tell customers that when you are reading dog books, trying to find the perfect breed for your family, they are always describing an ADULT dog that was well bred, socialized, trained and one with good Manners. They never describe how ill behaved the puppy will be, or how much work it will be to make that puppy into an easygoing adult dog!
If this running pup image bothers you, then you might want to purchase a pre-trained adult pet dog. You will also have to be careful to allow your dog to just be a dog and have some free fun time without you getting irritated. Some breeds, and some individual dogs, are especially difficult to teach good Manners. It takes daily work to get the dog to be what you want the dog to be. Some dogs take us longer to finish training then others. I find that especially true with Golden Retrievers. People fall in love with these dogs, not realizing that the great dogs they see were both bred and made that way. Golden pups are extremely sociable and active, can be really difficult to live with, and they need lots of supervision, appropriate leadership, and training in order to turn out to be manageable adults.
One of the biggest mistakes I see people make with their dogs is to avoid dealing with Manners at all; they instead just put the dog in a crate or kennel or back yard. A dog isn't going to learn good Manners on its own. All you are doing, by putting the dog away, is just postponing the inevitable work that needs to be put in to make the dog a good citizen and family member. Using the crate as a way of punishing a dog WON'T WORK, so stop being lazy, bring your dog inside, let the dog make mistakes, and work with your dog.

text: May 1, 2014 21:45 Scientist sees no signs yet of rise in caterpillar population Scientist sees no signs yet of rise in caterpillar population Advocate staff photo by HILARY SCHEINUK -- Recently hatched buck moth caterpillars are seen on an oak tree in Baton Rouge on April 20. Many south Louisiana residents come in contact with these stinging insects every spring. The caterpillar's spines are hollow and connected to poison glands, and contact with them can cause a painful sting coupled with inflammation similar to a bee sting. The irritation can last several days and can be accompanied by nausea. Ryan Broussard| firstname.lastname@example.com April 27, 2014; 7:10 p.m. Comments People who talk about the joys of spring may have never felt the big sting of a tiny caterpillar that appears in south Louisiana when the weather warms up. The culprit is the buck moth caterpillar, and an LSU Agricultural Center entomologist said the sting from the red-and-black caterpillar is worse than those of the other well-known stinging insects: bees and wasps. "It really does hurt," Dennis Ring said. "People brush up against trees or the larva falls on them and they get stung." Ring said he's seen no signs of an increased buck moth caterpillar population this year, but there could still be more crawling in the trees than normal. The black and white buck moth lays eggs during the winter mostly in oak trees in southern states from Texas to Florida and up the eastern coast to the northeastern part of the nation. The eggs begin to hatch in March and April. Once the caterpillar leaves the egg, it feeds for about 30 days — which is when people get stung — and crawls to a place where it can go into the pupa stage, usually in the ground, and eventually transforms into a moth — Hemileuca maia — a few months after pupating, Ring said. The cycle then begins all over again. The caterpillar's poison is not enough to cause a person to seek immediate medical attention, Ring said, but there are exceptions. "If you have a severe allergic reaction, you'd want to go to a hospital, but otherwise I wouldn't say go to the hospital," Ring said. "If you get stung by a whole slew of them, then you might seek medical attention." The poison is transmitted through what are called "urticating hairs," which resemble stingers that Ring likens to glass tubes that break off in the skin, allowing the poison to get into a person's system. Ring said it causes a spot on the skin that can stay visible for several days and has been known to cause nausea. The best way to treat stings, Ring said, is to repeatedly place clear tape on the affected area and peel it off until the urticating hairs come out, then place baking soda, meat tenderizer, tobacco or toothpaste to counteract the poison. The best way to get rid of the caterpillars if they are becoming a problem is to use an insecticide that contains Bacillus thuringiensis as the active ingredient, Ring said. He said the bacteria will only be harmful to moths and butterflies, not other insects. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

'The only Australian showing in Paris'
Aussie designer Collette Dinnigan proudly shows her ready-to-wear collection in Paris.PT0M0S 620 349
A CHILLY Paris evening provided the perfect backdrop for Collette Dinnigan to show her Snow Queen collection inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale on the final day of Paris Fashion Week.
"I don't know if it's influenced by my daughter [Estella] but it's what I imagine the Snow Queen to be: that dark queen sitting in a cold castle all dressed in black with crystals and hard edged."
Crystals and embellishments were key to the range of sharp and structured silhouettes that were layered and belted with a rock and roll edge. "It is dark but it's really about strong shapes," Dinnigan said. "And I love rock and roll. Who doesn't want to be a rock and roll star?"
Stilettos and lace … ready-to-wear creations by Collette Dinnigan, pictured below, at Paris fashion week. ''It is dark but it's really about strong shapes.'' Photo: Reuters
The innocence of white came through in pencil skirts and a V-neck dress gathered into soft folds at the bust as part of Dinnigan's re-imagining of the tale.
"It's the children with snowflakes and the white feathers of the swan, all mixed with a lot of rock and roll and fun," she said.
Dinnigan gave an edge to her beloved French lace with styling including knee-high socks and Louboutin stilettos, but for perfectly prim devotees she also delivered a divine black double-breasted trench coat tied in a bow at the waist with a brocade effect.
Collette Dinnigan Fashion Show in Paris

The Sydney designer has been coming to Paris since 1995, when she staged an intimate presentation at Angelina's patisserie next to Le Meurice on Rue du Rivoli.
Dinnigan has since been officially welcomed into the Chambre Syndicale du Pret-a-Porter des Couturiers et Createurs de Mode, the governing body that controls fashion week and now shows on the official schedule.
Melbourne-born Martin Grant is the only other Australian that has been admitted to the prestigious Chambre Syndicale.

"Paris is a harder school but it's a better school," Dinnigan said. "There is a strive for perfection [in Paris] and a lot of admiration for creative people and good design.
''Paris is the dream, but if you are Australian it is about the Australian signature that is your trademark."
Earlier yesterday, a real train chugged down the runway to cheers from the front row at the Louis Vuitton show.
Models emerged from the train and walked the catwalk trailed by porters carrying their bags beneath a giant station clock in the presentation that paid homage to the origins of the house as a purveyor of the accoutrements of travel.

Film Description: Youthful wizard Harry Potter returns to the screen in this, the second film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's wildly popular series of novels for young people. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) return for a second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Headmaster Dumbledore (Richard Harris), Professor Snape (Alan Rickman), Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith), and Hagrid the Giant (Robbie Coltrane) are joined by new faculty members Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh), a self-centered expert in Defense against the Dark Arts, and Sprout (Miriam Margolyes), who teaches Herbology. However, it isn't long before Harry and company discover something is amiss at Hogwarts: Students are petrified like statues, threats are written in blood on the walls, and a deadly monster is on the loose. It seems that someone has opened the mysterious Chamber of Secrets, letting loose the monster and all its calamitous powers. As Harry, Ron, and Hermione set out to find the secret chamber and slay the beast, speculation is rife that one of the heirs of Salazar Slytherin, the co-founder of the school, opened the chamber as a warning against the presence of "mudbloods" (magic-users of impure lineage) at the school -- and that the culprit may be fellow student Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton). Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets featured Richard Harris' second and final appearance as Headmaster Dumbledore; he died less than a month before the film was released in the United States.
