The Walking Dead – Finding The Real Michonne

After months of anticipation, The Walking Dead season 4 returned with a special emphasis on Michonne

The show began where it left off last season at the prison,  now inhabited by walkers due to the governor and his followers’ failed attempt to be the new occupants. The Governor you will remember,  lost his life in that attempt and Rick and his people were scattered, trying to escape the fighting and the zombies invasion.

The show opened with Michonne returning to the prison grounds where Hershel was decapitated. She paid her last respects to the fatherly figure’s zombified head and was on her way, resorting back to using two hand less, mouth less zombies as her protection.

Meanwhile, Rick and his son Carl are having some parent/child issues.

Almost beaten to death by the governor in the last episode, Rick struggled to keep up with Carl and at times, tried to put his one good foot down. But Carl apparently lost respect for his father and questioned Rick’s leadership style. An explosive scene showed Rick, unconscious on the couch of a home the pair settled into, with Carl unleashing a verbal assault on his father.

We get to see a different side to Michonne. Usually the callous,  unabashed zombie killer who always rejected emotional contact, part of Michonne’s past was revealed to the audience in a dream. We saw her as a happy mother and “lover,” living her carefree life despite the apparent start of the zombie apocalypse. We also saw the first two zombie victims she used as her protectors.

The season 4 premier lived up to expectations. We watched as Michonne fought with herself and her emotions. She was finally beginning to trust the people and accept her new existence at the prison only to have it all ripped away again. We watched as she aimlessly wandered the plains, surrounded by zombies, then snapped out of her mindless stupor, slaughtering 21 zombies in the process.

The show ended with her searching out and finding the home occupied by Rick and Carl.

Next week’s show will focus on other members of the scattered prison compound,  as they struggle to survive and reunite.

Before Watching The Walking Dead, This Is What You Need to Know…

After weeks of waiting, The Walking Dead mid-season premiere is set for tonight at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on AMC.

Let’s refresh ourselves on what happened last time.

Given the amount of time that’s passed since the mid-season finale in December, you may need a refresh on what happened in The Walking Dead season 4, episode 9.

1) Hershel and The Governor have died. In a shoot out at the prison, The Governor kills Hershel, and Michonne kills The Governor (a.k.a. Brian) moments later.

2) Speaking of the prison… bye, prison! The gun fire battle also sent the prison up in flames, so now Rick and company are in need of a new place to call home. Rumors indicate that by the end of season 4, they’ll have a new place.

3) All of the survivors are out on their own. Numerous promos (viewable below) show that each of the good humans are on the run by themselves. Some of them are in very small groups of two – maybe three – but the mid-season premiere will show how they all cope without being in a bigger group setting.

4) Baby Judith may or may not be dead. Rick and Carl believe she’s been killed, but viewers think someone like Beth may’ve picked her up. If so, we can’t wait to see the reunion between the father, son, and daughter. Hypable readers have speculated wildly about whether or not she’s alive.

Michelle Obama Comments on Justin Bieber – Motherly Love

What would first lady Michelle Obama, a mother of two girls, do if she also had a son — or more to the point, a 19-year old international pop star with a penchant for fast cars, private jets and alcohol named Justin Bieber?

“I would pull him close. You know, I don’t know if it would be advice as much as action,” Obama said in a recent interview with Univision Radio host Enrique Santos. “I would be very present in his life right now. And I would be probably with him a good chunk of the time, just there to talk, to figure out what’s going on in his head, to figure out who’s in his life and who’s not, you know.”

And Obama is not the only one at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. being asked to weigh in on Bieber’s case.

A petition created on the White House’s “We the People” site calling for the government to deport Bieber and revoke his green card has garnered more than 250,000 signatures — far exceeding the 100,000 signature threshold to require an official response.

“That response will come I’m sure relatively soon,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said last week.

The petition, which was filed on the day Bieber was arrested for an alleged DUI and drag racing, says: “We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked.”

Michelle Obama, who was not asked about the petition during her radio interview, was nothing but motherly when it came to the famous wayward teen who could face a trial in Florida as early as March 3.

“I found that to be the case with my kids,” she said. “They just want you near, you know — they want that advice from a parent. They want to see you on a daily basis, you know, because the thing is he’s still a kid. He’s still growing up. So, I would pull him close.”

Crazy Weight Loss on The Biggest Loser Winner is Scary – Video

Yea, exactly. That was the impression when two of the judges on the Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper saw the final product – the unveiling of the new Rachel Frederickson. She entered the competition weighing 260 lbs, and at the end of it all, the winner of the popular television show was a tiny 105 lbs – a total weight loss of 155 lbs, leading many on twitter to say that her weightloss was borderline dangerous.

Since she’s only 5’4”, that puts her body mass index at 18 — below what the National Institute of Health considers a healthy minimum. In other words, the Twitter masses have claimed, Frederickson lost too much weight. It’s impossible to say whether that’s true based on numbers alone — more on that later — but it’s equally impossible to see why anyone’s surprised by Frederickson’s “scary” weight loss.

Some twitter responses;

Missy Elliott Vows She’ll be back – “I just ain’t telling nobody when”

It was nine years ago that Missy Elliot ruled the music industry with her “The Cookbook” album. Now, almost a decade later, the artist is promising a comeback.

In a chat with Yahoo’s “The Yo Show,” Elliott addressed her lengthy hiatus from the spotlight — and admitted that fans will probably keep waiting.

“When I create something, it’s gotta be special, and it can’t just be to throw something out there because I feel like I’m Missy,” said told show host Michael Yo via video chat.

“I gotta feel like what I’m giving the fans is 100% and that it’s game-changing. I don’t just throw out microwave records.”

After 2005’s “The Cookbook,” the hitmaker seemingly vanished from the pop landscape, choosing to slide into the background,  producing and lending her voice to singles from Monica, Keyshia Cole, Jazmine Sullivan, Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia.

Elliott eventually began teasing her seventh album, “Block Party,” with a handful of singles throughout the late aughts — “Best, Best,” “Ching-a-Ling,” “Shake Your Pom Pom” — but no album ever materialized. Then, in late 2012, she dropped a pair of singles, “9th Inning” and “Triple Threat,” that reunited her with longtime collaborator Timbaland. But still, no release date for the album.

She assured fans that a comeback album is imminent. “I just ain’t telling nobody when,” she said.

This Is Not How You Work. This, Is Not How You Work – Pics

Now this is how you fix an AC. I do this all the time.

There are supposed to be safety rules and regulations in place when doing certain jobs. And there are. But not all workers abide by those rules.

Here are some pictures showing the way some workers put their lives in danger to complete a day’s work.

OSHA will not be happy.

Apparently the only way to work under the vehicle
Smoking around Flammable Gas? Okay
I’m disappointed. I was looking for a third ladder
What’s wrong with this picture? The chair shouldn’t be red,, that’s what!
Now this is how you fix an AC. I do this all the time.
No words. No words
Securing the worker by holding on to his pants. Yep.

Shaun White Pulled Out of the Olympic Slopestyle Contest

Shaun White pulled out of the Olympic slopestyle contest Wednesday, about 24 hours after being banged up on a course that riders are criticizing as unduly harsh.

White issued a statement, saying that after much deliberation, he has decided to forgo the new snowboarding event and concentrate on halfpipe, where he will try for his third straight gold medal next week.

“With the practice runs I have taken, even after course modifications and watching fellow athletes get hurt, the potential risk of injury is a bit too much for me to gamble my other Olympics goals on,” White said.

Considered among the favorites of the new events on the Sochi Olympics schedule, White jammed his left wrist during practice Tuesday, and when he came off the slopestyle course, he called it “a little intimidating.”

Report: 70 Bags if Heroin Found on Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Home

The NYPD reportedly found 70 bags of heroin labeled “Ace of Spades” or “Ace of Heart” in the apartment of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was discovered dead of a drug overdose yesterday morning. Police have launched a citywide hunt for Hoffman’s drug dealer.

“An internal email went out to all supervisors asking if anyone has had any experience with those brand names of drugs,” a law enforcement source told The New York Post. “They’re going to try to find the source.”

Using something called a “nitro dump,” police hope to narrow down the dealer’s location. From the Post:

“Basically what that is, is any time we make a narcotics arrest we include the brand name on the arrest report and store it in our system so our investigators can see where those brands are being sold,” the source explained.

Once they determine a location, they can zero in on the dealer or dealers selling that particular brand.

It’s nice to know that the games industry can still surprise you and that – just when everybody thinks it’s been figured out – there’s room for aFlappy Bird. Flappy Bird, if you don’t know, is the latest game-from-nowhere that’s taken over the App Store. It’s another Dots, Temple Run, Ridiculous Fishing, Candy Crush Saga, Puzzle and Dragon, Tiny Wings or Fruit Ninja. The game that seems to just pop, leaving many heads scratching as to how it did it.

The repeated success of these games shows that there is always room for a new game mechanic. Players still like to play a fun game that seems new compared to all the other stuff they’ve been playing lately. Simple. Yet if there’s one thing on which you can always rely, it’s that the industry will over-complicate what it means.
