- Fugitive sex must be pretty damn amazing if two people are
willing to ignore police during a standoff so they can get their freak one last
time before one of them is hauled off to jail. Either that or Ryan Patrick Bautista and his
lady, Leanne Hunn, are just two incredibly stupid human beings who prolonged a
standoff with Jacksonville police to have one final romp between the sheets.
According to police, they responded to a Jacksonville mobile home in search of
Bautista, who was wanted on several warrants. He and Hunn were holed up in the
mobile home and because, well, white trash, they refused to come out when
police commanded them to. Instead, a standoff ensued and for a short time,
police were in contact with the couple. At some point, communications broke
down and officers were unable to make contact with Bautista and Hunn for about
45 minutes. Negotiators were eventually able to get Hunn on the phone and she
told them that she would eventually surrender, but first she wanted to have sex
with Bautista "one last time." Eventually, a SWAT team and its own
negotiators arrived on the scene and from there, it didn’t take police long to
bring the standoff to an end. Both suspects were arrested and charged with
resisting arrest and false imprisonment, but hopefully wherever they are
eventually imprisoned, conjugal visits are allowed. Given these two’s recent
track record, they don’t do well when deprived of one another’s physical
company……….
- Amazingly, there are people out there with the good sense
to want nothing to do with the entertainment stylings of Drake. Who those
people are is unclear, but what we know is that the wildly overrated
sorta-rapper wants to start
acting again, but Hollywood is giving him the cold shoulder that the music
world has sadly never discovered. After breaking into the entertainment world
in the Canadian teen drama “Degrassi:
The Next Generation,” Drake grew out of the show and well, let’s allow
him to tell his version of the story in which he was (allegedly) kicked off the
show because he was spending too much time on his rap career. "Eventually,
they realized I was juggling two professions and told me I had to choose. I
chose this life," he whined. But when someone becomes extremely successful
in one aspect of the entertainment - or even sports - world, they inevitably
want to branch out and prove they’re not one-dimensional. Thus, Drake’s desire
to build on his forgettable cameo in the even more forgettable “Anchorman 2.” "I
can’t wait to get back into acting,” he said of his future plans. “No one ever
asks me to do movies, and, although music is my focal point now, I’d love to do
a film." Hear that, world? Drake still wants to spend most of his time
dissing Meek Mill and hanging with Serena Williams, but when he has a free
moment or two, he would like you to throw some choice movie and television roles
his way. Just don’t tell him he has to choose between the two worlds because he
doesn’t want to hear it and he’ll just whine a lot if he doesn’t get what he
wants………..
- The fact that sub-Saharan Africa is just now getting its
first urban metro service
is both awesome and sad. Such services exist in the northern portion of the
continent, but those living in some of the world’s poorest nations have been
denied a cheap, fast way to move around their cities when the truth is that few
need such a service more. That’s changed in Addis Ababa, a city of over 4
million people, which has finally moved past mini vans as its primary method of
business travel. Ethiopia's capital now offers the $475 million Light Rail
Project, a joint venture between Ethiopia and China and the first of its kind
for the city. Set aside for a moment the shivers that go down your spine on
account of China’s involvement and focus on the fact that this project is set
to transform the way people in get to work. "There has been a lot of
positive economic development in the last 20 years," Dr Getachew Betru,
CEO of Ethiopian Railways Corporation. "You would not imagine to have that
in a sub-Saharan city.” The primary focus of the service is taking 60,000
people who live in the suburbs and bringing them towards the center of the city
so they can get to work. There are two
lines that connect the east and west and north and south and tickets cost a
mere 6 bir, around $0.27. The rail line runs between 6 a.m. and midnight and
everyone involved seems genuinely fired up. "It's really exciting"
says Behailu Sintayehu, Manager of the Light Rail Project. "Recalling the
situation 3 years ago, it didn't feel like it would happen like this. We are in
a hurry to open up the other line as soon as possible." This
enviro-friendly project uses energy generated from big dams located all over
the country: "We do not share the power from the city of Addis and also we
will not have continuous interruptions or power shortage problems," Sintayehu
noted. The light rail system is still progressing toward completion and will
eventually connect with the national train system of Ethiopia. By 2025, there
will be 5,000 kilometers of track across the whole of the country. The eventual
goal is to connect not only Ethiopia, but to link the country with Djibouti,
Sudan and Gabon………..
- Preseason games in virtually any sport are worthless. They
don’t count in the standings, their stats are cast aside instantly and players
only want to make it through them without getting injured. Fans get gouged for
regular-season ticket prices at these exhibition contests and season ticket
holders are often forced to buy preseason tickets as part of their package. Bearing
all of that in mind, is it too much to ask that the NBA not allow its
exhibition games to turn into a giant Slip-N-Slide on the hardwood? Enter the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State
Warriors, who played less than 75 percent of what vaguely resembled an NBA game
at the Valley View Casino Center before the contest was called off late in the
third quarter because of poor conditions on the court, with players from both
teams continually slipping on wet spots. "It was bad. I don't know why we
played that game. It was dangerous,” Warriors center Marreese Speights said.
The tipping point game with 2:16 left in the third quarter after Warriors guard
Leandro Barbosa slipped on the court and finally admitting that there was far
too big a risk to players’ health to continue, officials discontinued the game.
The Lakers led 85-70, but Lakers coach Byron Scott wasn’t exactly broken up
about the game being called off after he spoke with Warriors interim coach Luke
Walton and agreed the game should end immediately. "It seemed to be on that left side of the
court in front of our bench was the worst. "One time we were running, I
was holding my breath a little bit," Walton said. Players on both sides
said they told their coaches that they were playing cautiously because they
were afraid of getting hurt and if there’s anything worse than NBAers who make
seven or eight figures annually sleepwalking through a game they don’t really
care about, it’s those players dialing it down even further so they don’t blow
out their knee or go skidding into the scorer’s table after hydroplaning at
midcourt in pursuit of a loose ball. Stick to actual NBA arenas with legit
playing surfaces and maybe next time your game won't requite floaties, water
wings and non-slip shoes, NBA………..
