Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps dead at 84

TOPEKA, Kan. — Anti-gay extremist Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church and the “Gods Hate Fags” fundamentalist movement, has died, according to his son, Timothy Phelps.

Family members told local media that Phelps died shortly before Midnight last night.

Phelps, 84, founded the Topeka, Kan.-based church in 1955. The group has been involved in actions against gays since at least 1991, and first came into the national spotlight in 1998, when it picketed at the funeral of Matthew Shepard, an openly gay student at the University of Wyoming who was tortured near Laramie, Wyo., in October 1998, then tied to a fence and left to die.

In 2011, the church stated that it had about 40 members, almost all of which are members of Phelps’ extended family.

So the market will be opening at 330 am Hawaiian time? That is awful!

N Korea is special. There was a photo going around recently that showed the Far East at night. The dark areas were water and N Korea. The areas with lights were modern countries. Perhaps N Korea also doesn't have many clocks, either.

I always thought of gratitude as a response to gifts received, or short fleeting thoughts of what I have. But now I realize that gratitude is a discipline that can be lived on a daily basis. A discipline that not only enhances my mental well being , but my physical as well.

Gratitude is one the simpiliest and most powerful things humans can due for one's own happiness and for each other.

Blake Griffin Smacks Justin Bieber At Hollywood Starbucks

NBA, News

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA–
Justin Bieber simply can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble.
Police were dispatched this morning to respond to an altercation at a Starbucks in West Hollywood involving some familiar faces.
A barista at the coffee house was apparently confronted by Bieber when he refused to serve the pop star because he wasn’t wearing a shirt.
“He came in with no shirt on and his pants hanging down and underwear showing and tried to order a caramel apple machiatto.”, said Joey Goldsmith, the Starbucks barista, “I just told him he would have to put a shirt on if he wanted to order.”
That’s when Bieber snapped.
According to the police report Bieber started cussing at the barista and threatening to have his bodyguard, “kick his ass”.
Fortunately for Goldsmith, LA Clippers star Blake Griffin had been enjoying a drink at a table when he witnessed the altercation and stepped in.
Witnesses at the scene reported that Griffin tried to calm Bieber but the Biebs wasn’t having any of it. There was more yelling, and some pushing and that’s when Griffin smacked Bieber, knocking him to the floor.
“He smacked the **** out of him” said one witness, “then I saw Justin stumble out of the door looking like he was crying.”
Bieber was gone before police arrived at the scene.
