RUPERTKBD Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 As a father of three healthy girls who are now adults, I can't even imagine how difficult this must be: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/newsgoodnews/single-dad-35-adopts-fifth-child-who-has-disabilities-i-wouldnt-change-a-thing/ar-AACYELI?li=AAggFp4 Quote A single father from England has adopted five children with special needs over the last decade and has plans to adopt even more. Ben Carpenter recently adopted 1-year-old Noah and shared his story ahead of Father’s Day on Sunday, the Mirror reports. The boy has a rare genetic disorder known as Cornelia de Lange syndrome that causes physical, cognitive, and medical challenges for the baby boy. But Carpenter knew he was the perfect person to give Noah a loving home, as he has much experience raising children with medical difficulties. The 35-year-old adopted four other children over the years — Jack, 11, Ruby, 8, Lily, 6, and Joseph, 3 — who have complex needs, such as autism and Pierre Robin syndrome, which causes developmental malformations, the publication reports. Happy (belated) Father's Day to all my fellow CDC Dads.... ...and give this guy a medal....^^^ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 To those living in Alberta (especially the Northwest area) and Northeast BC, please be on the lookout: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/amber-alert-for-7-month-old-boy-abducted-from-fairview-in-northern-alberta/ar-AAD7MBF?li=AAggNb9 Quote An Amber Alert was issued Wednesday morning for a baby allegedly abducted by his father from a town in northern Alberta's Peace River region. At 9:45 a.m., seven-month old Jameson Sundby was abducted from his home in Fairview, according to police. Jameson Sundby has blonde hair and blue eyes, and was wearing a blue T-shirt with a star on it and grey sweat pants with cars on them. The alert said Jameson Sundby was abducted by his father John Sundby, who is 5'11" tall and 230 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes. Photos of the the father were not immediately available. RCMP said they were last seen leaving a residence in Fairview, driving a 2012 black Dodge Ram 3500, Alberta licence plate CBF-3313. The vehicle was last seen leaving Fairview in an unknown direction, so the Amber Alert has been issued province-wide. Fairview is about 530 kilometres northwest of Edmonton. There isn't a whole lot north of Fairview, so it's likely that this guy is headed towards Edmonton, but Grand Prairie, Fort St John and Dawson Creek are also possibilities. It won't be easy without photos, but if you see a single man with a toddler, driving a black Dodge Ram 3500..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 The moral minority strikes again: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/entertainmenttv/thousands-petition-netflix-to-cancel-amazon-primes-good-omens/ar-AADalBg?li=AAggFp5 Quote More than 20,000 Christians have signed a petition calling for the cancellation of Good Omens, the television series adapted from Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 fantasy novel – unfortunately addressing their petition to Netflix when the series is made by Amazon Prime. The six-part series was released last month, starring David Tennant as the demon Crowley and Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale, who collaborate to prevent the coming of the antichrist and an imminent apocalypse. Pratchett’s last request to Gaiman before he died was that he adapt the novel they wrote together; Gaiman wrote the screenplay andworked as showrunner on the BBC/Amazon co-production, which the Radio Times called “a devilishly funny love letter to the book”. But Christians marshalled by the Return to Order campaign, an offshoot of the US Foundation for a Christian Civilisation, disagree. More than 20,000 supporters have signed a petition in which they say that Good Omens is “another step to make satanism appear normal, light and acceptable”, and “mocks God’s wisdom”. God, they complain, is “voiced by a woman” – Frances McDormand – the antichrist is a “normal kid” and, most importantly, “this type of video makes light of Truth, Error, Good and Evil, and destroys the barriers of horror that society still has for the devil”. They are calling on Netflix to cancel the show. Gaiman responded to the petition on Twitter, writing: “I love that they are going to write to Netflix to try and get #GoodOmens cancelled. Says it all really. This is so beautiful ... Promise me you won’t tell them?” The publisher and science fiction critic Cheryl Morgan tweeted: “Miraculously God has already done it. Don’t tell them She put it on Amazon instead.” Return to Order is based on the writings of the author John Horvat II. It “calls upon Americans to put principles into actions by working toward what is called an organic Christian society”. Another of its petitions in April called on Walmart to “stop selling Satanic products” following a 2018 protest against a “blasphemous ice cream chain called Sweet Jesus”. I always have to shake my head at how Evangelicals believe that theirs is the only fantasy people should be allowed to experience. Gaiman is one of my favorite authors, (as was Pratchett) so I'm looking forward to bingeing this series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) ^ cant quote this morn for some reason. Love Neil Gaiman. Just saw an ad for the Good Omens series and it looks great....and BBC, the best. Amazon prime might be my first streaming service.They also have committed 1 billion to 'The 3 Body Problem'.

RUPERTKBD Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 This is rather disturbing.... ...a woman in Arkansas gets pulled over, the cop finds a plastic bag that used to have cotton candy in it, but melted a formed crystals. For some reason, the roadside test identified the substance as crystal meth....the woman ends up spending three months in jail, before being exonerated, thanks to a backlog at the Arkansas Crime Lab: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/three-months-in-jail-for-cotton-candy-inside-the-nationwide-crime-lab-backlog/ar-AADbdqj?li=AAggFp4 Quote On New Year's Eve in 2016, Dasha Fincher was on her way to a pawn shop in Macon, Georgia with her boyfriend, when she got pulled over because their car window tint looked too dark. She said she wasn't nervous because "we weren't doing anything wrong." Dashcam video showed that the pair was calm and cooperative – but things changed when the officer found a bag in the backseat. It contained cotton candy, which Fincher said was left in the car on a humid night, turning the fluffy treat into blue crystals. Results from a roadside test kit identified it as meth. "I couldn't believe it," Fincher said, adding "I wanted to cry, but I was like 'this would be over in a minute. It would be over in a minute.' I really didn't even think that I would even go to jail." But less than eight minutes later, she was in handcuffs, charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Her bond was set at $1 million, an amount she couldn't even come close to paying. She sat in jail for three months. "I was just always calling home and telling them to please, please come up here and do something," she said tearfully, adding that it was the hardest time in her life. "I missed a lot," she said. Desperate to get out, Fincher considered taking a deal before her evidence was even tested by the crime lab. According to her attorney, James Freeman, the testing process could take at least three months in Georgia. Freeman said "it's not just a chance, it's a fact" that innocent people are taking plea deals just to get out of jail as a result. Fincher passed on taking that deal, and was eventually released when the lab results came back negative for any illegal drugs. She's now suing. A couple of things: 1 - WTF kind of "roadside test" are they conducting, that identifies sugar as crystal meth? 2 - How many times have innocent people copped a plea, just to get out of jail?

Happens all the time in the states when bail gets set really high. Combine that with a huge back log of court cases so it takes forever for your day in court, people will plea because they'll get out sooner if they admit guilt rather than wait for trial.

They should make it that if you are forced to be in jail and are completely absolved of the charges, you should be compensated monetarily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Stormy Daniels was denied entry into Canada, but we're not sure why: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/celebhub/stormy-daniels-wasnt-allowed-into-canada-and-the-reason-is-super-confusing/ar-AADp9M2?li=AAggFp5 Quote Stormy Daniels rose to fame 2 years ago when her alleged affair with Donald Trump was spread across all media platforms. Now she's become an internet personality who occasionally travels for adult entertainment conventions. She was scheduled to attend an event in Niagara Falls this weekend but ran into some trouble at the airport. Stormy Daniels was denied entry into Canada. The convention she was scheduled to attend was a 50th-anniversary celebration for a strip club in Niagara Falls, Sundown. She was supposed to be having two meet and greet sessions with fans. Probably the only time in her career that she was unable to achieve full penetration..... Edited June 26, 2019 by RUPERTKBD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) Woman Avoids Jail After Having Sex With Dad in 'Jealous Competition' With Sister Woman Avoids Jail After Sex With Dad in Competition With Sister A Nebraska woman will not go to jail despite marrying her father as part of a competition with her half-sister to have sex with their dad first. According to a court affidavit obtained by the Omaha World-Herald, Samantha Kershner, 21, met her biological father, Travis Fieldgrove, 40, at the age of 17 after begging her mother to learn the identify of her father in order to meet him. Both Fieldgrove and Kershner told authorities that in the three years after meeting, they maintained a normal father-daughter relationship, the court affidavit reads. Neither Kershner or Fieldgrove offered police any explanation as to when and how their relationship turned sexual. They did, however, confirm to police that they started having sex in September 2018, stemming from a “jealous competition with her half-sister regarding who could have sex with their father,” according to court documents. Once cops began investigating the nature of their relationship, the two allegedly traveled to Adams County Courthouse in Hastings in October to get married, the affidavit states. Fieldgrove told authorities that he didn’t believe he was the woman’s father, as his name was not on her birth certificate, the Omaha World-Herald reports. A DNA test was taken and showed a 99.999 percent probability that he was indeed Kershner’s father. Both Kershner and Fieldgrove were initially each charged with one count of incest, but she eventually pleaded no contest to charges of misdemeanor false reporting, and was spared jail time as a result. Instead, she received nine months of probation by the Hail County court, Nebraska TV reports. Fieldgrove pleaded no contest to incest and sentenced last month to two years in prison. After his release, he will be barred from having contact with Kershner. Both still face incest charges in Adams County, where they married. Kershner also faces a charge of making a false statement under oath in Adams county, Nebraska TV reports. It is unclear if they have entered pleas to the Adams County charges and PEOPLE was unable to reach attorneys who could comment on their behalf. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/woman-avoids-jail-having-sex-170559394.html Edited June 26, 2019 by nuckin_futz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
