Man In Embalming Room Comes Back To Life?! He's Alive!

Lexington, Mississippi (CNN)- Walter Williams, 79, from the little town of Holmes County, was resurrected from the dead in a body bag comes back to life after the mortician found his legs moving. Nobody is more surprised then his family and friends whom they are happy that he his alive and missed the farmer nicknamed "Snowball." Morticians were about to embalm him when suddenly he started moving squeamishly. Coroner Dexter Howard, received a call from the hospice nurse who originally told that Williams passed away. Howard even verified that Williams death around 9:00p.m. Wednesday night and told CNN affiliate WAPT that Williams had "no pulse, he was lifeless." During the process of finalized paperwork for Williams passing, his body was transferred to Howard and Bryon Porter from Porter & Sons funeral home.  It was their in the embalming room that they found right before they commenced to perform the embalming process, the body bag begin to move! They heard him began to breath and then called paramedics as they arrived to hook up Williams to life support to revive him. Some skeptics may find fault in this and 'think' that his pacemaker may of been unreadable and when the doctor checked Williams and didn't hear his heart beat was the reason why they pronounced him dead. Howard proceeded to tell CNN, "I think everybody at the hospital was shocked!" "I don't know how long he's going to be here, but I know he's back right now," his nephew Eddie Hester told reporters.  Clark County Nevada coroner Mike Murphy of the International Association of Coroners and Medical Examiners. Murphy did say this was not the first account he has heard of stories of people coming back to life in funeral homes. We now that a defibrillators are just one part in the respiratory support of someone coming back to life. Murphy did admit that just because he hasn't heard of it doesn't mean "it hasn't happened." 

Was this anything but a miracle. There was a similar account of many people rising from the dead. One recorded account being Jesus and another of recorded in the Bible about a man named Lazarus.  From naked zombie men, to resurrected men in hospitals, recent news buzz has just been getting stranger and remotely bizarre.  More ahead.

Chris Peacock, Executive Editor of CNN Money tweeted "Now on your bill: ObamaCare restaurant fee."  The Obamacare Act has forced small businesses to cut their employees at least to 50% or have full-time employees reduced to part-time shifts.  Jonathan Chait, writer of the New York Magazine News and Politics, mentions of the coming Sharia FEMA camps that will go into effect once the hammer falls down!   I remember the days when I use to enjoy a morning breakfast at Cracker Barrel during my visits to Florida.  Now this time around I'll see the new ACA (Abrasive Careless Act) as restaurant charges. What an Obummer!

Trenton, N.J. (AP)- A Guatemalan man Julio Lopez-Cruz was killed on Rushling Street around 6:45pm after moving to New Jersey.  He was in front of his home while he was carrying groceries after an assault approach of two men. During the incident as the two men tackled him, he fell hitting his head on the sidewalk concrete ground and died.  After the attack, the two men fled on foot while other neighbors came out to help him.  Mercer County Prosecutor Joseph L. Bocchini Jr. announced the two men were believed to be Michael Holman and Dante Martin and were arrested for a felony murder.  He continued to say the mens 'bad decision to prey' on a 19 year old immigrant who's only been here for 45 days was 'senseless.'  After taking him to the hospital, authorities say he died shortly after the incident on February 15th this month.  The immigrant Cruz Cruz was only in the states for 45 days and didn't even get a chance to enjoy his new citizenship.  When he arrived during the winter time, close family and friend say that it was the first time he saw snow in his life.  Trenton Police Homicide Unit Detectives analyzed local area businesses and found the identity of the two individuals.  Two men were held into custody and may face up to 30 years in prison in lieu of $1 million for bail.  Latino men have been targeted as "Walking ATM's" for years, specifically in Trenton. What did they think he was going to have, mucho pesos?  It's a shame that some immigrants don't get to see the light of day just to have a better life, then to be persecuted by privileged Americans.

Washington- The Food Drug Administration (FDA) for the first time in 20 years is giving nutrition labels a makeover. The FDA has decided to make the changes for easier reading. Commissioner of the F.D.A., Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, spoke of the modern transformations that are taking place, “Things like the size of a muffin have changed so dramatically. The purpose is to increase public awareness of what is being consumed. It is important that the information on the nutrition fact labels reflect the realities in the world today.”  There has been a debate in the food industry whether 'sugar' is the only contributing factor to obesity. The soaring rates of of cancer, diabetes, blood pressure, and heart failure have all been a contribution Dr. David A. Kessler, former commissioner of the F.D.A. in the 90's stated a fact that still holds true till this day. "America has the sweetest diet in the world." The changes are simpler serving sizes, calorie numbers, and for the first time sugar servings. First Lady Michelle Obama, who also started the "Let's Move" campaign, supports the change. Deputy Commissioner of foods, Michael R. Taylor, made an estimate that the revamps of the Nutrition labels could cost close to $2 billion dollars.

Longest word in the dictionary interesting fact

Electro.en.ceph.a.lo.graph.i.cal.ly

Corey Stanford, an associate editor is a lexicographer at Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary says the word Antidisestablishmentarianism is not the longest word in the dictionary.  In fact the word is not entered in any of the Merriam dictionaries.  Rather, Electro.en.ceph.a.lo.graph.i.cal.ly is the longest word recorded in the Merriam dictionary.  For an example, a doctor may say "Have you examined the patient Electroencephalographically yet?  Antidisestablishmentarianism seems as if it is the longest word, but the criteria it lacks is meaning and widespread usage.  Webster has over 100 years of recorded information on usage of words and the word Antidisestablishmentarianism, although well known, is rarely used.  Three criteria are needed in order for a word to be accepted in the Merriam Webster's Dictionaries widespread, sustained, and meaningful usages.

Will Glass Be A Smash,"Glasshole"?

Google Glass, Photo Credit: Flickr

Google is now addressing the "Do's" and "Don't's" concerns with the new tech Glass gadget. Google Glass is a optical digital headset that is used that has improved functions as a mobile phone but more invisible and worn as hince the name "Glasses." CNN's Doug Gross disclosed the pre scoped i-Spy wear device was recently released by the mega internet corps tested by Explorers to be walking ads for the product. The headset was at a retail price for $1500 USD, but now may be traded between inflation prices of $300 - $600.  The device was also featured at the Mobile World Congress in the world's largest mobile trade show in Barcelona, Spain.Glass etiquette.  One common courtesy practice is being rude to stare at other's while having them on, or into space while to other's you look like a loon, and to not take unauthorized photos or videos without the person's permission. Stranger's have even approached device testers, because of the lack of privacy of taking photos or videos.  Glass is completely banned from restaurants.Google developed a derogatory term "Glasshole" to describe those who misbehave with the new titanium frames.  The same rules apply to Glass as it does to a cellphones. Turning the device off when asked is best then to ignore the request by businesses.  You still have to use the screen like to keep information in tact just as on a cell phone.  Google also advises if sitting in a public place with Glass gets to weird then put them away in your glass case or in your bag when your out and about.  Just be sure to not have it in arms reach of others.  It would be nice if they could implement a security lock that truly recognizes your fingerprints or remote control.

This Moment in Black History: Marian Anderson

I wanted to pay a tribute to the Great Marian Anderson. Anderson was an African-American cantralto and one of the most universal marking opera singers of the twentieth century. Marian Anderson was born on February 27th, 1897 right in the heart of Philadelphia, PA "The City of Brotherly Love." She was the daughter of John Berkley Anderson and Annie Delilah Rucker.  She had two sisters whom were also singers Alice "Alyse" and Ethel.  She attended South Philadelphia High School.


Alan Blyth, a music critic stated "Her voice was a rich, vibrant contralto of intrinsic beauty." Her singing voice opened up doors to many major musical venues throughout the United States and Europe between 1925 to 1965. She performed in concerts with fine orchestras. Anderson was offered numerous occasions to play a role but she perfered singing than acting.  On January 7th, 1955, Anderson made a ground breaking move for struggling black artist and was the first black to sing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York CIty.  The only time she performed on stage was as Ulrica in the show Giuseppe Verdi's Un ballo in maschera. She perfered to recite her songs in ritual and sung of literature in American songs, spirituals, lieder, and opera.

In 1939, the Daughters of Revolution (DAR) rejected her to sing at the Constitution Hall.  Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor Roosevelt showed favor to Anderson to sing on April 9th, 1939 at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday. Anderson was an ambassador for "goodwill" United States Department of State and for Human Rights on the United Nations Human RIghts Committee. She was an advocate for the series of civil rights movements. At one movement conducted in 1963, she sung during the "March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom" Anderson was rewarded and honored for her many achievements including a 1991 Grammy Life Achievement Award.

Justin Bieber the #Egginator Miami DUI Charges Dropped

Los Angeles- According to many sources, the Miami-Dade Judge dropped charges on Justin Bieber.  However, getting off of the ticket is not so easy.  Justin Bieber will be serving 40 hours of community service with random drug testing. His bond is set at $2,500 dollars. Justin Bieber was pulled over in a yellow Lamborghini and was arrested for DUI, driving under the influence, and drag racing, and resisting arrest on Jan. 23 after an outing with his entourage in the early dawn of Miami. The car was speeding at a 55 to 60 mph in a 30 mph zone.  Crickets? Miami Beach Police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez told CNN, Bieber failed a field sobriety test. Prosecutors advised that Bieber as well as an impact panel to hear stories of those victims effected by DUI.  Justin has just dropped a single after the verdict, called "Broken." The lyrics are very revealing DJ Tay James mixtape of DJ Radio 4. The lyrics go on with "..they can't take what's mine." He was positive for marijuana and Xanax.

Justin Bieber was previously convicted of vandalism of his neighbors home.  Since them it seemed as if a series of horrible things in the media has been buzzing, either bad choices or a possible enchantment. Just saying.  Authorities, according to one source are still trying to find hard boiled evidence that Bieber is the egger in the neighbor's security. Bieber resides in a tight knit gated family community residential area were egging, and a loud entourage is the least expected. If Justin is convicted of felony vandalism, his visa could be revoked and he could be deported back to Canada. On the View, the panel divas discussed how even there are hard working immigrants such as the majority Mexican inhabitants of southern California and how in many unjust cases are sent back over the border under 'no cause.' Yet murders, thieves, and whore mongers have citizenship. Sharon Osbourne from CBS daytime talk show, The Talk, explained in Bieber's defense that he is just a kid and going through growing pains that he didn't have when bombarded with stardom at age 14. Comedians had a field day as Jay Leno poked fun showing a composite video of Bieber egging the camera. Sharon Osbourne and Sarah continued that sending Bieber back to Canada over some eggs is pretty "harsh." The incident traumatized the neighbors daughter as bad words were exchanged. So this is how you 'purge', your neighbors with eggs?  The story continues as the surveillance video has confirmed that Bieber is the #egginator. There have even been talks of him being deported back to Canada, ya?!

Justin Beiber was also detained in Newark, New Jersey for suspected marijuana on his private jet, right before the Superbowl.  Authorities claimed that the jet was.  Sherly Underwood of the talked also made a statement about Bieber's behavior saying that we understand the pressures of being in the public eye but why spoil what "...God has blessed you with..." as still millions of young people are looking up to Bieber as a role model.

Bieber also had one-on-one private intervention during his trip to Panama in January, with close mentors around him such as Usher, his mother Pattie Mallette, Scooter Braun, Ryan Butler, and Ryan Good. He also appeared with model Chantel Jeffries, a Kim Kardashian look alike, and model. The purpose of the intervention is to keep the person from falling back into addictive habits.

Justin Drew Bieber is a Canadian pop star musician that has captured the hearts of man tweens and teenie boppers. Justin may of had grew into stardom before fully growing into puberty.  The singer was also seen urinating in a bucket in front of a fine restaurant last year and afterwards slandering Bill Clinton, politics?




This is a perfect example, as glamorous as they are, celebrities need prayer too.  Many do not want another Corey Monteith incident. Let's just hope that this is not another propagated blackmail and that the people around him have his best interest at heart.

Barbie wants to Dumb Down iQ through HypnoTherapy? Lord Help Us!

California- A native born Cali women is known through out the world of altering herself to become the "Ultimate Barbie!" Blondie Bennett, 38, recently went through a series of hypnotherapy sessions in order to make herself brainless and decrease her IQ.  Bennett told Daily Mail that her 20 sessions has already made her feel "ditzy and confused all the time." "I don't  like being human if that makes sense." She when on and said she thinks "'natural' is boring" and she would love to be "more plastic."  Huffington Post also posted, although she "loves her looks" her friends and family don't agree with her lifestyle and don't approve of her plastic looks. Bennett has already had five breast augmentations and facial plastic surgeries.  





VanishaPR's question? What 'doctor' would approve this?! A psychotherapist giving Barbie sessions to decrease her IQ, more like a psychopath!  I know as women, we all have our moments of evaluating our images because of the bombarded subconscious misogyny of media, which fits with Agenda 21, but that's another conversation. However, my question is how can you hate yourself so much that you get so many Nip Tuck alterations, just to keep up, I guess only in Cali, with the Beverly Hill Joneses.  There are people with serious mental illnesses and you seriously want to dumb down your aspirations only to become a vegetable?  What are you modeling to young girls who want to become more than a brainless barbie when they reach womanhood.  My belief is God tailor-made you to be how you are or what you look like for a reason.  And the "I don't like being human" quote, "WHAT?" That makes me think this is this possibly another propagated story of transhumanism.

I would think with all the FDA approved GMO's, MSG's, Aspartame's, Azodicarbonamide, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Flourides, Chemtrails, and Radiation's concentrated in urban areas and other contributing factors including political issues, that would considered 'Brainless.' I remember something that an ancient scholar named James where he writes said in 3:16, "For where there is envy and strife are, there is every evil work." 

There is also a 135th psalm that says, " Silver and Gold idols from many nations made from humans have mouths, but do not speak . . .eyes, but do not see . . .ears, but do not hear, . . . there is no breath in their mouths."

Sorry, I could not resist.  I know she wants to become the ultimate superwoman that doesn't exist. If she wants to be a Barbie, then what does she really think about other women, including other people? Also, there's a way of looking so called sexy without being accessible.  Idolizing a doll that has no life or power to give you life or death is nonsense. There is even a human Ken doll that exists, and I wonder if researchers could find if they have the same or parallel psychosis. We still wish the best for these people and hope that they would want better for them to be their natural selves. If I have an unction of something, it must be said.   More bizarre details ahead.

Neknominate Killed 5 Young Lives!

Nationwide- A trending game also known as neck and nominate has been going viral throughout the nation amongst young drinkers across social networks to drink and dare.  The game is called "Neknominate" where young adults drink and nominate the person to do outrageous stunts, such as jumping off of a bridge into water, or taking a selfie in lingerie in a public department store, or hanging off of a helicopter like its Black Hawk Down or Mission Impossible. Dr. Travis Stork panelist and co-host of the award-winning Doctors TV morning Show has already taken note of this rising trend and has already announced a 'Health Caution' and a warning to "STOP!"  This is another case of Monkey See, Monkey Do.  Have your parents ever told you, "if your so called 'friend' jumps off of a bridge, are you going to do it too?" We'll Neknominate is not necessarily a game of follow the leader, but rather leads to self-destruction, and even death. Warn the youth especially college aged students about the dangers of excessive drinking can impair informed decisions. I would stay clear and deer away from the danger games of drinking, and would rather just have an enclosed gathering of people that you trust on a family and friends 'game night.' I conducted poll research to the public for a Manchester radio station for research long ago about 'Binge Drinking' for Smooth 104.1 FM about the dangers and consequences that come with it. The game is popular in Europe, and has already been the cause of 5 deaths, much from alcohol poisoning. The drinking age is lower in Europe and the averages of alcoholic beverages in the past 30 days are much higher compared to the United States. In a John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research study, 70% in the U.K., have consumed at least one alcoholic beverage in the past 30 days compared to the admitted 33% in United States. A 2011 National Survey on Drug use and Health reported a staggering 10 million persons were underaged drinkers between the ages of 12 to 20 and nearly 6.5 million were binge drinkers, while 2 million where heavy dose drinkers.

We all have heard of the saying "wine is good for the heart," but to what extent does it get out of control. Safety practices limit yourself to one if you have to drink and you have low tolerance if you have to have one for tasting, not to get drunk and always have someone with you as a designated person that is trustworthy. If ever I would avoid drinking all together and stick with sparkling cider. You don't necessarily need a drink to jump start your festivities.  Just be yourself.  If your in a group and so pressured to drink, and they don't respect your decisions, then why hang with them, just to keep up with the fads of No!Go Rehab Amy Winehouse?   The British rockstar, Winehouse since passed due to an overdose of alcohol intoxication.  If your under age, then you shouldn't have this issue and shouldn't or 'best not' be drinking at all!  

There is a proverb in the 20th chapter written in the ancient scrolls of Solomon, a king known to be the wisest man that ever lived:


"Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls.Those led astray by drink cannot be wise." 

For the young drinkers or those who have addict habits or following the pressures of deadly trends, take heed of those whom lived and drank before you.

The 54 year-old music mongul told sources that he named his son after the passing of his father Eric Cowell.  He spoke of his father, Eric Selig Phillip Cowell, past from a heart attack at age 81, and mentioned that he "was a brilliant mentor" as he was also a music executive. Beyonce also gave birth to Blue Ivy at Lenox in January 2012, and had shut the whole floor, spending a grandeur amount of at least $2,000 on the private service birth room.

It seemed as in every media headline you could find Simon with nothing but a big smile on his face. From the sarcastic personality that has portrayed in American Idol and X Factor, many are relieved to see him in a lighter mood. Simon said he did know how much "love and pride" he would feel after having Eric.  We wish you the best of luck Simon! Your going to need it with all the joys of diaper pooing, cooing, and crying. Many will wonder how his disposition will hold up in later shows. More details ahead.
