Murderer tells judge to "Suck His D***"
Wow this is some funny stuff. A 24 year old man who is responsible for killing a woman and wounding four others in a Fort Greene shootout, from that crime but most likely also from what he told the judge. Before he got that sentence, he told the judge, "With all due respect and from the bottom of my heart, suck my d—.” The judge responded with, "I respectfully decline your offer. You are a danger to all civilized members of society.” Then he hit the dude with the heaviest sentence possible, 107years.
Now call me crazy, but I would think the last thing a man would want to be talking about before going to prison is sucking D***. Fail.

Unsigned Greats Presents: Starvin'
Unsigned Greats was a newsletter I started around 2008 possibly earlier. I had so much info to put in it I had to divide it up into 3 separate newsletters; Unsigned Greats, Unsigned Greats Events and Unsigned Greats Presents: Starvin'. The first newsletter dealt with acting and modeling gigs around the country. The second newsletter dealt with events and parties around the country and finally the last newsletter gave starving artists some shine. Thanks to all the love this blog has been getting, I've decided to use this platform to house some of my Unsigned Greats info. Hope you all enjoy it.

One handed girl's b-ball star
Excerpt: "Basketball is a sport that requires a lot of skill at handling a ball. Athleticism is a big part of that natural talent, but a player's natural flexibility and reflexes with their hands come into play significantly as well.
That's what makes Nimitz (Texas) High star Jesse Landry so unique: She excels with just one hand."

Boy George did a good deed for the day. He was in possession of a Christ icon artifact that he had no clue was stolen, so like any good boy he returned it to its rightful owner(s), in this case the Church of Cyprus.

Floyd Mayweather's new wifey?
Whoa. I've seen a couple of episodes of Chili's "What Chili Wants" and I always see two things 1)Chili always talking about she is looking for a man and 2)She's always on a 'date' with Floyd Mayweather. So just like any other scripted show you'd be thinking she'll met all these different fellas, but eventually get with Floyd right? Maybe not because there is a 'model' who's been on twitter confirming that she and Floyd will be getting married Feb 14, 2011. Oh and by the way as you can see, she's easy on the eyes take a trip to her website: http://www.missjackson.com/

Tea Party wants to erase slavery from history books
The Tea Party has been in the news for many things but this one takes the cake. The Tennessee tea parties basically wants to rewrite history...specifically black and native American segments of history. They claim they want to present the "truth" about American history and do so in a way that won't tarnish the image of the foundering fathers and the United States.
Here's where it gets interesting. The truth as they seem to believe is that there is "an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way of another."
They claim the founding fathers brought liberty to this country where there was none prior to them. My question to them is have they lost their damn minds?!?!? How can they think that by blotting out the atrocities committed by their forefathers, America will be viewed in a better light. If Amercia has a black eye because of the horrible things the founding fathers (and others) have done in the past, then it is what it is, and to change one dot of that history is nothing more then a scandal to cover up shameful deeds performed by many of these tea party member's forefathers. They must be smoking something heavy; how can they deny the elimination of whole indian civilizations, and the beating, maiming, killing, and inhumane treatment of the african slave? The white man came to this country (that belonged to the native Americans) and took it by force, there is still proof to this day as WE don't live on reservations, yet they do.
The bottomline is America is a great country and I wouldn't want to live any place else, but it has a very dark and morbid past. To take out the bad from its history is irresponsible, unrealistic and plain ol rediciulous. History is here for the wise to study it and learn from the mistakes that were made in the past.

This is the first and perhaps only opportunity you’ll have this year to benefit from Mr. Gosling’s unique perspective, including the latest insights on everything from JavaFX, Glassfish, Java EE 6, devices on the edge, real-time systems and dynamic languages on the JVM – everything that contributes to the potent mix and hybrid environment that is Java today. Mr. Gosling co-authored some the first industry “bibles” including The Java Programming Language and The Java Language Specification and now he’s set to kick off TSSJS 2011 and present this year’s most insightful conference keynote address.
This is guaranteed to be a standing room-only event.
DON’T MISS OUT.
Java is the most trusted and widely used language for building mission-critical, enterprise-class systems. That’s due largely in part to the thriving developer community that surrounds it.
At TSSJS 2011, you benefit from this incredible opportunity to keep your skill set ahead of the pack as you become the first to discover what 2011 has in store for the Java landscape before anyone else.
No other show gives you the opportunity to hear independent expertise instead of sales pitch after sales pitch, disguised as useful content. TheServerSide Java Symposium delivers practical, in-the-trenches advice that you can put to use as soon as you return to the office – guaranteed or your money back.
Only 4 days remain for the super early-bird discount admission opportunity. Don’t be left behind. Register now before it’s too late!
Everyone wants to know what the future holds for Java. There’s still that “air of uncertainty” surrounding where we’re all headed. And what better way to spice up the debate than to have Gosling himself on hand to deliver his unique and authoritative perspective the only way he knows how – with a no-holds-barred, unvarnished and definitive view on what you can expect in the next 8-12 months.
You asked. We answered. And we couldn’t be more excited to have Gosling on board to relay exactly how Java will continue to flourish and thrive as the landscape changes and technologies like cloud computing become more pervasive.
That said, we’ll of course also have the top guns from Oracle on hand to reveal their latest roadmap in addition to a few surprises that no IT pro worth his or her salt will want to miss. This is it. THE ONLY JAVA EVENT to give you the full 360-degree spectrum from both sides of the fence, guaranteeing you an unprecedented educational experience with a true “experts agenda” that you won’t find anywhere else this year at any price. Guaranteed.

Microsoft Surface- 2nd Gen
I've heard about Microsoft Surface a while back and even noticed some local news stations using it during their weather segments. It looks like we may be seeing Surface a lot more. I recall the initial push was for retailers, and hotels to be amongst the first to use Surface, but now it looks like it may be more widespread then I previously thought. Have a look:
Fail of the Week!
"Police say Pastor Sandy McGriff broke into a church members home to steal fur coats and laptop computers on Christmas Eve."
All I have to say is this is NOT how pastors should go about collecting tithes and offerings....

Incredible shot at the buzzer!
Twin Valley South High guard Austin Groff makes one helluva shot at the buzzer in the last game of 2010 against rivals Preble Shawnee High, check it out below:
Fail of the Day!
Could you imagine going on a much needed vacation and enjoying your time off, then when you come home you realize your house is completely gone? That's what happened to Andre Hall. The city was supposed to demolish the house next to his but instead they demolished both houses. Read more about this here.
Living the 'Wild Life'
Apparently some people in Florida have lost their damn minds! Jim Jablon may be one of those people. This fellow decides the best way to raise money for a wildlife rehabilitation center is to live with 2 young 225-250lbs lions...oh and did I mention he'll do this for the whole month of January?
In all seriousness, Mr. Jablon is doing this for a noble cause. The wildlife rehabilitation center he's trying to help is having financial difficulties, and he wants to help them meet their operating costs. According to grindtv.com, "It costs about $75,000 annually to care for the 100 animals at the 14-acre center and Jablon says car washes and other small-scale fund-raisers are no longer sufficient. He hopes people visiting his website and watching the streaming video will feel motivated to make a donation. He expects to raise between $100,000 and $200,000." Extreme situations call for extreme measures. So best wishes to him in his endeavor.

SMH. Read more about this here!

Kim Kardashian's New Song?!?!?!
It's surprising how some many people jump up and make records and you've never heard them hum, snap their fingers, etc.....Lindsy Lohan and Tyra Banks come to mind. We've all heard rumors about Kim Kardashian's record and now we get somewhat of a sneak peek. I can't stand the way she talks so I'm scared to hear her "singing" voice. Judge for yourself.
