The Wedding of the Century

As many of you have probably heard Kim Kardashian and famous music artist Kanye West are getting married.  Also, you may have heard about the enormous amounts of money they plan to spend at their wedding; 3 million dollars to be exact.  What exactly are they having at their wedding that would cost up to 3 million dollars, and is this really necessary?  These are questions you are probably asking yourself, as I did the same.  For Kim, this is not her first multimillion dollar wedding.  Her last wedding cost over a million dollars as well, however that marriage didn’t last very long, less than two months.  So I guess if they think its necessary to spend 3 million dollars on a wedding that may not last that long, go ahead.
Saturday will be the day the two get married, and there is a lot in store.  Everything from pink swimming pools to perfumed rooms to offset the smell of sewage that may be present, they couple has really thought of everything.  There will even be Special Forces on standby just in case anything happens out of the ordinary.  The wedding will be held in Paris on a large estate, where there will be several guests.  There have been several people wondering where the wedding will take place, some were saying that it would take place on the famous Palis of Versailles.  However there are many saying now that it will take place Belvedere Fort just outside Paris, France.  Just to have it at this location it will cost them over 400,000 dollars.
Kanye insisted that the water in all of the pools dyed pink because its Kim’s Favorite color, and ofcorse, this will happen.  They jus t recently heard of a sewage plant that is located just outside the large estate in which they will be married at, so something had to be done about this.  They plan to have scented ventilation to block out the possible sent of sewage.
There will be several surprises at the wedding and it might just be the next biggest wedding of the 21st century.

McDaniel Supporter Arrested for Exploitation of a Vulnerable Adult

Clayton Thomas Kelly, a 28 year old, was arrested late this week by police and was charged for the exploitation of a vulnerable adult, police said in a statement. Kelly is being held in the Madison County Detention Center for his felony and is on $100,000 bond, which is surly not to be posted by anyone.  Rose Cochran is 72 years old and has lived at St. Catherine’s Village for several years.  Rose has dementia which is categorized as a disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and is a memory disorder with personality changes and impaired reasoning, according to Webster’s.
The police couldn’t identify Rose Cochran as the person who was photographed at first. An attorney named Don Clark said an unauthorized photo of Rose Cochran was taken in her nursing home room without her permission and it was posted online in a video to attack a Cochran. A source stated to the Cochran campaign that the video was characterized as a political attack on Cochran.
Cochran is a democrat and has a challenger who is republican named Chris McDaniel.  The two will be voted for on June 3.  Republican challenger McDaniel said his campaign has no connection to Kelly, who was arrested for taking the photo without permission.
McDaniel made a statement that he contacted Cochran and explained his empathy for him and his grandma, stating that he was extremely sorry.  McDaniel was very apologetic and stated he had no connection or knowledge of the event occurring.
Kelly, who was arrested, has several posts on social media, such as twitter and his blog, attacking Cochran and the Democratic Party.  He has stated several offensive comments about Cochran and has talked up McDaniel greatly.  Cochran claims not to have any ties to Kelly, but the case is continuing to be investigated.  Also, the nursing home is upping surveillance and is on the lookout for anything suspicious.  They are also looking into any evidence they might be able to get regarding the case.
Cochran made a statement that he was very concerned for his wife’s security and well being but he is sure that there will be no further issues regarding the case. Cochran is 76 and was elected to the Senate in 1978 after six years in the House of Representatives in Washington DC.

Draft Day Serves as Surprise to Manziel and Others

Johnny Manziel, also known as Johnny football because of his amazing football skills he displayed as quarterback in collage, was supposed to be one of the top draft picks in the NFL draft last week in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft.   However, many teams already have experienced quarterbacks starting for them, and they might not want a younger guy to be on their team staring at quarterback.  However, I don’t see any harm in training him for a year or two until he is ready to start and when your starting quarterback retires, you put him in to start.  Surely these other teams needed certain random positions filled in and decided to draft strong players in those positions, because manziel wasn’t drafted until a lot later than he should have been.
Manziel ended up being drafted to the Clevland Browns, not exactly the best team in the NFL, but it would do for Johnny Football.  After being drafted finally, it was discovered that Manziel sent a text to the quarterback coach of the browns telling him to “hurry up and draft” him already.  After seeing this the head quarterback coach of the browns sent a text to the owner and head coach of the Browns, telling him what Manziel had texted him.  The head coach of the Browns took this as a sign that Manziel was ready to go, and really wanted to play for the Cleveland Browns.  He traded up a pick to pick Manziel to play for the Browns.
Shortly after this happened, the owner of the browns made it clear to Manziel that he wouldn’t be starting at quarterback for the Browns in the upcoming 2014 football season in the fall.  However, the head coach of the Browns said otherwise, that Manziel would be competing with the already starting quarterback of the Browns for the starting position at quarterback for the upcoming season.
There were a few other surprises in the draft, such as the Vikings not picking Manziel when they had the chance.  With Manziel, the Vikings could have an unstoppable backfield with former 2013 season NFL MVP Adrian Peterson and then Manziel at quarterback.  But the Vikings decided to chose another quarterback over Manziel.
Another thing that was interesting about the 2014 draft last week was the very first homosexual was drafted into the NFL.  Michael Sam became the very first open homosexual male to ever ender the NFL draft and be drafted.  Shortly after he was drafted, he celebrated by giving his boyfriend a kiss, which was broadcasted to millions on live television.  Many may find something wrong with this but I personally believe that this should be fine.  If men and women can kiss each other on television, gay males and females should be able to as well.
The Draft was full of surprises and the 2014 football season upcoming should be very interesting.

Apple Sets Out For New Iphone 6

What started as one of the very first touch screen phones several years ago, has evolved into something very different.  The Iphone 6 is expected to be released the summer in August.  The new phone will be even thinner and have a larger screen than before, as well as some other different changes to it.  The iPhone 5 was released a little over a year ago, which proved to be a huge success.  Apple, the company which makes Iphones and other devices, has been competing with the android for several years now, but they may have found something that will make the android to step up their game.
Just this last week, Apple made a large purchase that may change everything about Apple devices forever.  Apple bought Beats Audio by Dr. Dre for a tremendous 3.2 billion dollars.  This ginormous purchase makes Dr. Dre the wealthiest hip hop/rap musician in history, the very first to have a net worth of over a billion dollars.  Apple has not stated anything about how they might use beats audio, but I am pretty sure I have a good clue as to what they may use it for.
With the new Iphone coming out in about 3 months and Apple buying Beats Audio, it wouldn’t be that hard to guess that they are most likely planning to use the newly bought Beats Audio on their newest Iphone, or even on the headphones that are produced and sold with the apple products.  If this were the case, many people would very quickly change their phone plans and get the new iphones, leaving some very tough competition for the android.
If all the rumors prove to be true, there are looking to be some massive changes to the new iPhone 6 that will come out this August.  A 5.5 or 5.6 inch screen will included, along with a very new power button that this time, will be placed on the side of the phone, rather than on the top of the phone, like the power button always has been.  Im assuming that they will keep the finger print unlock touch on the new Iphone because it was a major success with the new Iphone 5s that recently came out this winter.  Also, the new Iphone 6 has said to be up to 26% thinner than the previous Iphone 5.  Also there were rumors of a very new IOS software, IOS 8 that may be added as well.  Although Apple has made no official comments yet, many are looking forward for this to be coming out in the near future.

Crazy Hot Air Balloon Accident Scares Thousands

It was Friday morning in Virginia and many were planning to take off in hot air balloons, however, it was too foggy so they were delayed to take flight later.  Once all of the hot air balloons took flight, many people watched in awe as they soared all across the sky that morning.  Later on when people were still watching the hundreds of hot air balloons fly through the sky, many started their descend to land on the ground.  It was then that one of the hot air balloons was caught too much by the wind, and went towards a power line.  The balloon lost control and hit the power line and immediately caught fire.
The innocent bystanders watched in fright as the hot air balloon tried to land but the fame started to spread and tear away at the balloon.  It was then when one of the three men in the balloon either jumped or fell from the balloon, still several feet up in the air as many were watching.  That’s when the crowd went crazy and started to scream even more and more.  After this, the balloon started to go quickly towards the ground as the flame was spreading even more quickly.  Then, the hot air balloon made a crash landing miles away.  No one knew for several hours where exactly the plane landed at but guess were that it was in a nearby park.  Authorites released a statement hours later that they had not found the balloon yet.  They said that they were still looking for the wreckage but would not release the names of the three men who were involved in the crash, which were all presumed to be dead at the time.
The search continued for hours upon hours into the night.  The two bodies that were in the balloon were soon found and were pronounced dead on the scene, however the search is still going for the third and final person that was aboard the hot air balloon when it crashed.  More than 100 k9 units are currently searching for remains of the basket or the balloon itself, along with the missing person who jumped or fell from the basket while in the air.  They have not tured up yet but the way things are looking, it is extremely likely that the final missing person is dead, however everyone is hoping for the best.

Draft Day


NFL Draft Day, one of the most exciting, yet heartbreaking, days of the year for many college football superstars.  Tonight, May 9th, 2014, the annual NFL Draft will be held, broadcasted live on television.  This is more than just which college football player will be on which team.  It’s their future, our future.  History books can and will be changed as some of the best college players are drafted into the NFL tonight.

The draft will consist of 32 players being drafted a round, for each of the 32 NFL teams, and 7 rounds total.  Predictions of who will be drafted are almost impossible.  Draft pics will be made by the teams head coaches, based upon which positions need filled and how much potential each player may have.  Each year, different teams get moved up in position of who gets to make the first picks, based upon who made the first picks the previous year.  Just like every year, there are many great college football stars that will be drafted tonight.  One of this year’s favorites, Johnny Manziel, a quarterback from Texas A&M, who will most likely be one of the first picks of this years draft.

The order for this years draft is as follows:

1. Houston Texans

2. St. Louis Rams (from Washington Redskins)

3. Jacksonville Jaguars

4. Cleveland Browns

5. Oakland Raiders

6. Atlanta Falcons

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

8. Minnesota Vikings

9. Buffalo Bills

10. Detroit Lions

11. Tennessee Titans

12. New York Giants

13. St. Louis Rams

14. Chicago Bears

15. Pittsburgh Steelers

16. Dallas Cowboys

17. Baltimore Ravens

18. New York Jets

19. Miami Dolphins

20. Arizona Cardinals

21. Green Bay Packers

22. Philadelphia Eagles

23. Kansas City Chiefs

24. Cincinnati Bengals

25. San Diego Chargers

26. Cleveland Browns (from Indianapolis Colts)

27. New Orleans Saints

28. Carolina Panthers

29. New England Patriots

30. San Francisco 49ers

31. Denver Broncos

32. Seattle Seahawks

The picks are made based upon how each team did the previous year.  The seattle Seahawks won the Super bowl last year so they will receive the very last draft pick.  The Houston Texans had the worst record last year, and therefore they will have the very first pick this year.  In addition, there are a total of 32 compensatory and additional selections that are given to the lowest seeded teams.  This year, the draft will be very exciting and I can’t wait to see who gets drafted where.

Death Penalty Goes Horribly Wrong

Clayton Lockett was convicted and sentenced to the death after he shot a 19 year old girl, Stephanie Neiman, in 1999 after her and her friend walked home to him stealing things from inside her house.  Neiman was abducted, along with her friend, where they were beaten and held captive.  Lockett shot her with a sawed off shotgun and then watched as his two friends buried her while she was bleeding out alive.
A medical technician had a tough time finding a vein to insert lethal drugs on Lockett Tuesday evening, when Lockett was scheduled to face the death penalty.  Guards were forced to taze Lockett to find a suitable vein to insert the drugs that would kill him.
Lockett had cut his arm early Tuesday where he then went to the prisons hospital but was not required to get any stitches.  This wound was found to be self inflicted by Lockett himself later on.  Guards then watched him outside his cell until 5:20 AM when he was sentenced to the execution chamber.  Once there, Lockett refused to be restrained all throughout the day for several hours.  He also refused his final meal as well as his final statement Tuesday when he was not cooperating with prison guards.  After finally being restrained, Lockett was searched for a vein to be used to place the deadly drugs into.
Finally after a while, the first of 3 drugs issued was released into Locketts groin, which made him soon unconscious.  Soon, several things went wrong, after it was realized that the first drug had not been placed correctly and fully into Locketts groin vein.  His heart began to slow and doctors realized that not enough drugs were given to kill Lockett.  Shortly after,  Lockett suffered a heart attack and was then pronounced dead on the scene.  A separate death penalty that was to be served soon after Locketts was postponed, and will wait months or weeks to be carried out.
Locketts body was sent to have an autopsy to see exactly what went wrong in this incident.  The procedures of the staff are going to be investigated as well to see if any staff member could have avoided the situation from happening.
