These words from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speak to me daily: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Man shot and killed while urinating from balcony
Man shot and killed while urinating from balcony

If there’s one thing growing up in the rural South taught me, it’s that you should never urinate off a porch onto someone with a loaded weapon.
Unfortunately, such wisdom is not common in Pennsylvania.
My Cox colleagues at Pittsburgh’s WPXI.com report a gentleman enjoying a game of dominoes decided, at 11 p.m. Tuesday, to use the bathroom in public.
As 35-year-old Roosevelt Robinson, of Wilkinsburg, relieved himself over a side railing of what must have been an apartment balcony, witnesses heard someone shout “Yo, yo!”
Then, several gunshots were fired from below. Robinson was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.
No arrests have been made.

I got so tired of recieving things saying that if you dont sent this to so many people this will happen. Or, if you send this to so many people you will get this. So here was my post. Cut and paste this as your status, send it to 3 people in 10 minutes. Absolutely Nothing will happen! IT WORKS! I’ve done it twice and both times nothing happened!

St. Petersburg woman injured after bullet left inside oven explodes
ST. PETERSBURG — A young woman trying to make an evening snack ended up at the hospital Monday night after a round of ammunition exploded inside an oven, police said.
Eighteen-year-old Aalaya Walker just wanted some waffles.
What she didn’t know was that her friend Javarski “JJ” Sandy, 25, had placed a magazine from his .45-caliber Glock 21 in the oven. It’s unclear why he would do that.

The gun itself was inside a drawer, Sandy later told police.
Walker preheated the oven shortly after 9 p.m. She heard an explosion a short time later.
She picked fragments of at least one round from her chest and leg. She rode the bus to St. Anthony’s Hospital, where she met with officers.
They sought out Sandy, who was at his apartment in the 200 block of 24th St. N.
Sandy, who has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, confirmed Walker’s story.
He told authorities there were four rounds in the magazine. He showed the melted magazine to officers, though he’d already thrown away the other bullets.
“He stated that he does not have a temperature gauge on the oven so he estimates the temperature based on how far the knob is turned,” an officer wrote in a report. “I observed that the inside of the oven was damaged.”
Police described Walker’s wounds as “superficial.” They did not make any arrests.

Before Mad Cow
In the 70s, some brilliant General Mills scientist hit upon the idea of coating cereal with “an excipient of a drink mix” (in the words of Wikipedia) which would dissolve on contact and flavor the milk. Crazy Cow came in chocolate and strawberry. One edition featured Star Wars trading cards, which were particularly valuable because they weren’t available anywhere else.
The chocolate one was yummy too!

Despicable Me 2- Dove Family Review
Despicable Me 2
Dove “Family-Approved”
Recommended for ages 12 and over
Theatrical Release: 7/3/2013
Reviewer: Scott Rolfe
Source: Theater
Writer: Ken Daurio & Cinco Paul
Producer: Janet Healy
Director: Pierre Coffin & Chris Renaud
Genre: Animated
Runtime: 98 min.
MPAA Rating: PG
Starring: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Benjamin Bratt
Synopsis:
Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s worldwide blockbuster Despicable Me entertained audiences around the globe in 2010, grossing more than $540 million and becoming the 10th-biggest animated motion picture in U.S. history. In summer 2013, get ready for more Minion madness in Despicable Me 2.
Chris Meledandri and his acclaimed filmmaking team create an all-new comedy adventure featuring the return of (former?) super-villain Gru (Steve Carell), his adorable girls, the unpredictably hilarious Minions…and a host of new and outrageously funny characters
Dove Worldview:
In this cute sequel to the 2010 hit movie, Gru is recruited by the Anti-Villain League and tasked with finding out who is behind a plot to take over the world by using a transfiguration serum. At the same time, his “girls” and especially Agnes try to fix him up with a woman so that they might have a mother. Gru doesn’t quite go for their plan at first but later falls in love with someone who he eventually must save from the villain.
This is a very entertaining film that makes the case that family is important and desirable. The violence is almost non-stop but is mostly slapstick in nature. However, there are several weapons used that might cause some parents to use caution when they decide to let their younger children go. We are pleased to award our Dove Seal for ages 12 and over.
Rating Descriptions
Sex: Man/woman kiss.
Language: “Nut job”; “poop”; “I just did a boom-boom”
Violence: Several scenes involving a tazer, a freeze gun and other weapons. No one is seriously injured; slapstick violence throughout; people and minions are shot, hit, punched, kicked multiple times.
Drugs: Champagne in dream sequence; moose tranquilizer delivered through a dart to a woman’s behind; rabbit and several minions injected with a transmutation serum.
Nudity: Cleavage on very busty woman; man seen in outhouse; minion looses his pants and we see his butt.
Other: Dog urinates on a plant destroying it. Some of the minions cross-dress but this is played for laughs.
