Larry The Cable Guy now into Beastiality

Well both Larry the Cable Guy and the history channel has finally went to far for my Taste. On lastnights episode of Only in America they started the show with a Disclaimer but it didn't mention how vile, disgusting and perverted it was going to be.

It starts off innocent enough talking about Dog Shows. Then, they went back stage and this woman was Jacking off her Dog! Yes you read it right and it turns out that she was saving the sperm. If that wasn't bad enough she let Larry Jack the Dog. Contract or no damn contract this shit is wrong and disturbing. I don't want my kids seeing this and you'd figure anything with Larry's name attached would be safe for Kids. My family will never watch this show again. I personally have lost my respect for Larry.

Student doctor found dead at UT Medical Center

Courtesy WBIR
(WBIR-Knoxville) Knoxville police are investigating an "unknown" death at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

Dr. Zackary Rose, 28, was found dead Monday morning. On Sunday, he came to work at 7 a.m. to start a 24-hour shift and was last seen at about 3 p.m.

Rose was paged several times at about 1:45 a.m. Monday. When he didn't answer the page, another student doctor went to look for him and found his body in a second floor call room bed. Hospital workers tried to resuscitate Rose, but they were unsuccessful. They took his body to the emergency room, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 3 a.m.

KPD examined the area where Rose was found, and the medical examiner examined the body before submitting it for autopsy. Authorities said no obvious cause of death could be determined. Officials are conducting tissue and toxicology tests, trying to determine what happened.

Rose was a third year student doctor in anesthesiology.

Knox County Schools allows Sex Offender to work in Schools

Here's the Story from WATE TV-6
"A man has been fired from a teaching assistant job at Knox County Schools after he was arrested for indecent exposure.

Court documents show Shelley Trigg Hedgepeth was arrested last month after the incident on I-40.

Officers say a driver near the Midway Road exit called 911 to say a man was driving close to them while visibly exposing himself. Officers spotted Hedgepeth's car and pulled him over. Inside his car they found binoculars and other items

A criminal history shows he was arrested for indecent exposure two other times in the past 20 years. Both of those cases were dismissed.

Hedgepeth was a teaching assistant at Farragut Intermediate, but county officials say he's been fired"

I am a former Security Officer for Knox County Schools and there was a Principal at Farragut High School by the name of Ed Hedgepeth that was promoted and moved uptown in 2004. If this news crew would of done their research they would of found the family link. He should of been terminated as soon as the first charge was filed. This shows how corrupt Knox County is

Knoxville Center Mall host a Racist Job Fair

The Article from WATE TV-6 States.
" A job fair was held on Tuesday evening in Knoxville for the growing Hispanic population in East Tennessee." This phrase alone shows that this Job Fair gives preference to one Race. It goes on to Say " The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of East Tennessee hosted the event at Knoxville Center Mall." What if someone hosted a White Only Job Fair, a Black Only Job Fair, a Japanese Only Job Fair or any other Race or Combination of Races. Would not be allowed and would be deemed as Racist.

If you don't believe me go put Whites only on a Job Fair and see how fast the Homosexual Jesse Jackson and Al the pal Sharpton starts hollaring Racism this is Horseshit and we all Knox it. Shame on Knoxville Center Mall for hosting a Racist Event.

This event will be going to Morristown, TN on September 17

Knoxville Police Department Corruption

People Traveling through the City of Knoxville might wanna watch out Traveling through Knoxville. I have spoken with a victim of an assault where the Victim detained the assailant uninjured and the Victim of a bite wound from the assailant a Knoxville Police Officer threatened to arrest the victim.

Then there was a group of Officers that beat an unarmed homeless man. These Officers would of never been charged if a witness hadn't came forward and raised all hell. They was convicted in court but serve no jail time! That shows the Judicial System is as corrupt as the Police.

If your a blackman you can't walk down the street without being harrased by the Police. I have witnessed this several times myself. They don't provide equal protection of the law. There's an area in East Knox that might not see a cop for 3 days and again with a corrupt department who would want them anyways

The life of Devil Anse Hatfield

Born in 1839, "Devil Anse" Hatfield grew up in what is now Logan County, West Virginia. He took a leading role in his family's feud with the McCoys. In 1882, Hatfield's brother was murdered and he had the three McCoys responsible killed. He was indicted for his role in these crimes, but never was tried. Hatfield may have also been involved in 1888 attack on Randall McCoy and his family. He died in 1921.

William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield, one of the main figures in the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud of the late 1800s, was born and raised in Logan County, West Virginia, in the Tug River Valley. His family had been some of the early settlers in this region, and the river served as the boundary between Kentucky and West Virginia. Most of the Hatfields lived on the West Virginia side.

One of 18 children born to Ephraim and Nancy Hatfield, Devil Anse Hatfield was known to be an excellent marksman and rider. It was said that he was so strong and fierce that he could take on the devil himself, which is supposedly where his nickname came from. In 1861, Hatfield married Levicy Chafin, the daughter of a neighboring farmer. But he spent little time with his new bride, quickly signing up to support the Confederacy during the Civil War. A natural-born leader, he headed up a local militia with his uncle Jim Vance, which was known as the Logan Wildcats.

After the war ended, Hatfield settled down with Levicy and turned to farming, cutting timber and buying real estate. The couple eventually had 13 children together. Ambitious and aggressive, Hatfield had one of the most successful timber businesses in the area. He vigorously defended his interests, even taking a man to court because he reportedly cut timber from Hatfield's lands. Hatfield won his suit against Perry Cline, a friend of and relative-by-marriage to Randolph "Randall" McCoy, his future nemesis. Like the Hatfields, the McCoys had been early settlers in the area, but mostly lived on the Kentucky side of the river.

Most experts agree that the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud began with another court case. In 1878, Hatfield's cousin Floyd was accused of stealing a hog from Randall McCoy. Another cousin, Preacher Anse Hatfield, the local justice of the peace, presided over the trial. In the interest of fairness, he created a jury of six Hatfields and six McCoys. The jury found Floyd Hatfield not guilty, and Randall McCoy and some of his family blamed the Hatfields for this defeat.

Hatfield-McCoy tensions flared again two years later. In an Appalachian version of Romeo and Juliet, Devil Anse's son Johnse became involved with Randall McCoy's daughter Roseanna. The two met on Election Day in 1880 at the Kentucky polling place near Blackberry Creek, and Roseanna ran off with Johnse to live with the Hatfields in West Virginia. She refused to come back for several months, but she finally gave up when she figured out that Johnse was never going to marry her. According to some reports, Devil Anse objected to the couple marrying.

Roseanna went to live with her aunt back in Kentucky. She kept seeing Johnse and gave birth to his baby, who later died. One night, some of the McCoys caught up with Roseanna and Johnse. They said that they were going to take him to jail for moonshining, but she thought that they were going to kill Johnse. Roseanna went off to tell the Hatfields, and Devil Anse organized a rescue party. The Hatfields met up with the McCoys and secured Johnse's release.

The bloodshed associated with the McCoy-Hatfield feud began on another Election Day in Kentucky. On August 7, 1882, Devil Anse's brother Ellison got into a fight with Randall McCoy's son Tolbert. Tolbert repeatedly stabbed Ellison, as did his two brothers, Pharmer and Randolph Jr. Ellison was also shot once in the altercation. The McCoy brothers were arrested, but they never made it to the jail. When Devil Anse heard of his brother's shooting, he rounded up a group of supporters and took the McCoys from the lawmen.

Devil Anse brought the McCoys back to West Virginia and held them prisoner. Their mother, Sally McCoy, came to plead for the Hatfields to spare her sons' lives. But when Devil Anse learned that his brother had died of his injuries, he had no mercy. He and his men tied the three McCoys to some pawpaw bushes and executed them. While Devil Anse and several others were indicted for this episode of vigilantism, the authorities were unwilling to arrest them and bring them to Kentucky for trial.

For five years, Devil Anse and his co-conspirators went about their business unhampered by the charges against them. Perry Cline, however, changed all that in 1887 when he convinced the governor of Kentucky to put up a reward for the capture of Devil Anse and the others. Cline also brought in "Bad" Frank Phillips to help round up these wanted men. Other bounty hunters and detectives also joined in the pursuit, hoping to get that reward money. Phillips was able to capture several of the Hatfields, including Devil Anse's brother Valentine.

The Hatfields—some believe it may have been Devil Anse—came up with a devious plan to end the hunt and prevent the trials of their imprisoned relatives. Believing if the McCoys were dead that the murder case would fall apart, the Hatfields organized a group to attack the McCoys at their home on New Year's Day 1888. Devil Anse's sons, Johnse and Cap, and his uncle Jim Vance, among others, conducted the raid. Some reports state that Devil Anse stayed home because he was ill. Others claim that he didn't know about the plot. The attack proved to be only partly successful. The group killed several members of the McCoy family, but Randall McCoy, his wife and two of their daughters managed to survive.

Reports of this savage assault made national news, and the brutal feud turned into a media frenzy. The ensuing court battles received a lot of press attention as members of Hatfield's family and his supporters were eventually brought to trial. Nine of them, including his brother Valentine, were found guilty in 1889 and given life sentences.

His cousin, Ellison Mounts, was executed in 1890 for the murder of Alifair McCoy, Randall's daughter.

Devil Anse, however, was never tried for his role in the murder of the McCoy brothers or for his possible involvement in the New Year's Day attack. Shortly after that fateful day in 1888, Hatfield bought some land in a more remote location known as Island Creek, and there he took special measures to avoid capture.

Hatfield went through a transformation in the later years of his life. He had once said, "I belong to no Church unless you say that I belong to the one great Church of the world. If you like, you can say it is the devil's Church that I belong to." But he changed his tune, choosing to be baptized in 1911. Hatfield lived peacefully on his farm in Island Creek, where he raised hogs. He remained a crack shot until the end, and he reportedly carried a rifle with him wherever he went.

On January 6, 1921, Hatfield died of pneumonia at his Island Creek home. His family had a life-sized marble statue of him made to honor their fallen leader. That statue still stands today, marking the grave of one of America's most famous feudists. The story of the Hatfield-McCoy feud also lives on as the subject of countless books, documentaries and movies. In 2012, the feud was featured in the television miniseries Hatfields & McCoys, with Kevin Costner playing Devil Anse and Bill Paxton as Randall McCoy.

The Life of Randall McCoy

Born in 1825, Randall McCoy began his bitter feud with the Hatfields in 1878 when he accused Floyd Hatfield of stealing one of his hogs. In 1882, three of McCoy's sons killed a Hatfield in a fight, and they, in turn, were shot to death by some Hatfields in revenge. Randall McCoy nearly died in 1888 when a group of Hatfields attacked his home. In all, he lost five of his children in the feud. McCoy died in 1914.

Randolph "Randall" McCoy grew up in the Tug River Valley, which marked the boundary between Kentucky and West Virginia. He was born on the Kentucky side of the valley, one of 13 children. There he learned to hunt and farm, two main ways people living in this part of Appalachia supported themselves. McCoy grew up in poverty. His father, Daniel, had little interest in work, so his mother, Margaret, had to struggle to care for, feed and clothe the family.

In 1849, McCoy married his first cousin, Sarah "Sally" McCoy. Sally inherited land from her father a few years after they married. They settled on this 300-acre spread in Pike County, Kentucky, where they had 16 children together.

During the Civil War, McCoy served as a soldier for the Confederacy. He may have even been a part of the same local militia as his later nemesis, William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield. While most of the McCoys supported the Confederacy, his brother Asa Harmon McCoy fought for the Union side. When Asa returned home, he hid out in a cave for a time. But he could not avoid his Confederate neighbors forever. In 1865 he was shot and killed by someone who objected to his Union sympathies. It is believed by some that either Devil Anse Hatfield or his fellow Confederate leader Jim Vance murdered Asa.

Initially, some considered Asa Harmon McCoy's death as one of the causes of the Hatfield-McCoy feud. Others have ruled it out, saying that the McCoys were staunch Confederate supporters, too. They probably did not take kindly to Asa's Union activities. The bad blood between the two families did not develop until much later.

In 1878, Randall McCoy accused Floyd Hatfield, a cousin of Devil Anse, of stealing one of his hogs. He took Floyd to court in Kentucky, seeking to recover his lost animal. The McCoys and the Hatfields were both large families in the area, and the local authority brought together a jury that equally represented both sides -- made up of six Hatfields and six McCoys.

Despite these good efforts, the trial ended up creating tensions between the two families. One of McCoy's cousins, Bill Staton, testified in support of Hatfield, a move that was seen as a betrayal. Another family member, Selkirk McCoy, who served as a juror in the case, also sided with the Hatfields. The jury ruled in Floyd Hatfield's favor. This verdict did not sit well with McCoy and other members of his family.

This verdict probably only fed already fraught relations between the Hatfields and the McCoys, at least in Randall McCoy's mind. He reportedly loathed Devil Anse Hatfield, who had won a court battle against McCoy's friend and relative-by-marriage Perry Cline the previous year.

Hatfield and Cline had been fighting over some timber that Cline had reportedly cut from lands belonging to Hatfield. The court ruled in Hatfield's favor, and Cline had to sign over some of his property as a result. Randall McCoy, who had a reputation for being a gossip and a complainer, also may have resented Devil Anse for his success in timber and real estate businesses.

Two of McCoy's nephews, Sam and Paris McCoy, had a deadly encounter with Staton in 1880. Staton saw the two McCoys while out hunting and shot Paris. Sam, in response, shot and killed Staton. Sam McCoy was tried in West Virginia and acquitted in the case.

With his existing resentment of the Hatfields still simmering, McCoy found new reasons to hate Devil Anse and his kin in 1880. McCoy's daughter Roseanna met up with Johnse Hatfield, Devil Anse's son, at that year's Election Day celebration near Blackberry Creek, Kentucky. Election Day was treated as a holiday of sorts, with people gathering together to eat, drink and be merry. Much to Randall's dismay, his daughter Roseanna ran off with Johnse, living with him and his family for some time. She eventually realized that he wasn't going to marry her, and she went to live with an aunt in Kentucky. Roseanna had Johnse's child, but the baby died young.

Some of the McCoys caught Johnse and Roseanna together. They told Roseanna that they were going to take Johnse to jail for moonshine-related crimes, but she believed that they meant to kill him. She rode out to the Hatfields and told them of Johnse's capture. The Hatfields then confronted the McCoys and freed Johnse.

Two years later, tensions between the Hatfields and McCoys again boiled over. Many locals, including McCoys and Hatfields, gathered at the polling place in Pike County, Kentucky, on August 7, 1882. Unfortunately, the joyous festivities of this Election Day soon turned sour. A fight broke out between Randall McCoy's son Tolbert and Devil Anse Hatfield's brother Ellison. Tolbert stabbed Ellison several times, and he also received some help in the assault from two of his brothers, Pharmer and Randolph Jr. Ellison was also shot once in the back during the attack. The three McCoy brothers were arrested.

As they were on their way to jail, the McCoy brothers were taken from the lawmen by Devil Anse Hatfield and his supporters. Hatfield took the boys to West Virginia, where he waited for word about his brother Ellison. Randall's wife Sally traveled to the place where the boys were being held and begged for the lives of her sons, but she could not sway the Hatfields. After learning his brother had died, Devil Anse and his men tied the McCoy boys to some pawpaw bushes and shot them. An indictment was issued against Devil Anse and 19 others for these killings, but no one was willing to arrest the Hatfields and their kin for the crimes.

Oddly enough, Randall McCoy did not immediately strike back at the Hatfields in retaliation for his sons' deaths. It was his friend and relative by marriage Perry Cline who ignited another wave of violence in the Hatfield-McCoy feud.

In 1887, Cline convinced the governor of Kentucky to issue a reward for the capture of Devil Anse and the others indicted in the McCoy murders. He brought in "Bad" Frank Phillips to assist in the capture of the fugitives, and Phillips led raids into West Virginia to get these men. He was able to capture several of them,

including Devil Anse's brother Valentine.

Some of the Hatfields decided that the best way to end the indictments against him and his supporters was to get rid of the witnesses. Experts are divided on whether Devil Anse was the mastermind of this plot. On New Year's Day, 1888, Hatfield supporter Jim Vance led eight other men, including Johnse and Cap Hatfield, to Randall McCoy's home in Kentucky. Johnse accidentally fired at the house before they were ready to attack, giving Randall and his family a warning of what was to come. The two sides exchanged gunfire, and then Vance lit the house on fire. McCoy's daughter Alifair was shot to death as she tried to flee, and his wife Sally was badly injured when she attempted to comfort Alifair. McCoy's son Calvin was also killed, but Randall was able to escape the house and hide in a pigpen. Two of his daughters, Adelaide and Fanny, also survived the attack.

Reports of the attack made newspaper headlines across the country, and the Hatfield-McCoy feud became a subject of great interest to many. Reporters traveled to this remote region to get more on the story, and the press exaggerated the details of the conflict. They also followed the ensuing trials as some of the conspirators in the McCoy brothers' murders and the New Year's Day attack were brought to justice.

Ellison Mounts was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of Alifair McCoy in 1889. Valentine Hatfield and eight others were tried that same year for the McCoy brothers' murders. They were found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. Randall McCoy was disappointed in the verdict. He reportedly tried to get a group together to enact some vigilante justice of his own, but he failed to garner enough support to pull it off.
After the trials, Randall seemed to live a quiet life in Kentucky. He operated a ferry in Pikeville for some time. He died in 1914 from injuries he suffered after falling into a cooking fire. Once a leading player in one of history's most notorious family feuds, McCoy seemed to slip from this world without much notice. He was buried in the Dils Cemetery in Pikeville, Kentucky.

Since his death, however, McCoy has received some notoriety. The Hatfield-McCoy feud has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, films and even a musical.

State of Tennessee uses facial recognition on everyday citizens

The State of Tennessee is now publicly outsourcing it's drivers license making to Washington and using facial recognition software on YOU. 

“This new system, central issuance, is replacing an outdated system that is more than 30 years old,” Dalya J. Qualls, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security said via email.

“We will begin using facial verification technology to help reduce fraudulent issuance of driver’s licenses and cut down on identity crimes cases.” she wrote.

“The state first purchased three kiosks to use on a pilot basis using federal grant funds for a total of $165,000,” Qualls wrote. “The remaining 37 kiosks were purchased for $45,000 each, a total of $1,665,000, using state system development funds.”

Drivers renewing their licenses, who previously would wait on-site for a permanent license from a driver service center the same day, now will walk out with a 20-day temporary license on paper. Meanwhile the person’s information is logged and a permanent ID is stamped and mailed from a factory in Lacey, Wash.

How is this an improvement?  This is going back 50 yrs. The only reason they are doing this is to put Your face into a database. Yes my friends your photo and I guarandamntee you the price will go up. Do Not Use these machines!

“The person’s driver’s license photo will now be sent to a central state database that contains at least 12 million other photos for a match,” Qualls wrote. Such a database would help make sure the person on your state-issued ID is indeed you, according to Qualls.

They don't state the fact your image will be used to see if you closely resemble a Criminal so, they can see if they can convict you because you resemble a criminal! Don't believe me? Wait till your arrested.

DID YOU CATCH THE PRESIDENT’S U.S. GEOGRAPHY FAIL ON LENO TUESDAY?

By: Mike Opelka

Tuesday night, President Obama made headlines during his appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” one of his numerous appearances over the years (back in 2009, he was the first sitting president to appear on the show). The President talked with Jay about a myriad of topics such as the NSA (he says that we don’t have a domestic spying program), the threat from Al Qaeda, and Trayvon Martin. However, it was when the discussion turned to infrastructure that the president failed on some fairly basic American geography —and it’s not getting much attention.

How did he screw up? A clip from the official transcript of the interview —sent out by the White House* —says it all:

LENO: You mentioned infrastructure. Why is that a partisan issue? I live in a town, the bridge is falling apart, it’s not safe. How does that become Republican or Democrat? How do you not just fix the bridge? (Laughter and applause.)

THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. As you know, for the last three years, I’ve said, let’s work together. Let’s find a financing mechanism and let’s go ahead and fix our bridges, fix our roads, sewer systems, our ports. [You know], the Panama [Canal] is being widened so that these big supertankers can come in. Now, that will be finished in 2015. If we don’t deepen our ports all along the Gulf —places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida —if we don’t do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And we’ll lose jobs. Businesses won’t locate here.

The president was talking about deepening our ports along the Gulf, and yet he only referenced cities along the Atlantic Ocean coastline.

Eagle-eyed Blaze Radio host Joe Pags caught the screw-up and posted it on Twitter (@JoeTalkShow):

TheBlaze spoke with Joe Pags about the Presidential faux pas, and the affable host wondered what the media reaction would be if President Bush might have made a similar mistake.

WANT 5% OFF YOUR RESTAURANT BILL? THIS PLACE WILL GIVE IT TO YOU IF YOU LEAVE YOUR PHONE

By: Liz Klimas

Next time you sit down at a restaurant, take a look around you. How many patrons are talking, texting or playing on their phones?

One Los Angeles restaurant is hoping to change this increasing trend by offering customers a discount if they agree to check their phone at the door. Southern California Public Radio reports the owner and chef of Eva Restaurant, Mark Gold, saying that the incentive is not because phones are disruptive in a dining setting but because “Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home.”

“It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we’re trying to create an ambiance where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.”

How has the deal been received at the restaurant so far? SCPR reports Gold saying a little less than half of customers have parted with their beloved phone.

“I think once the server approaches the table and they’re presented with the offer, they like the idea of actually talking to each other again,” he said to SCPR.

MYSTERY WOMAN PAYS BILL FOR WHOLE RESTAURANT AND LEAVES HEFTY TIP FOR SERVERS

By: Liz Klimas

An unidentified woman surprised 180 diners in a Florida restaurant Sunday by paying for all their meals.

The Tampa Bay Times reported some saying the woman looked like the 84-year-old Gloria C. MacKenzie who recently won the $590 million Powerball jackpot, but the mystery woman claimed she wasn’t a lottery winner.

Stephanie Reaves, the manager of the BuddyFreddy’s in Plant City, gave the Tampa Bay Times more details about the generous gesture:

Reaves said she was accompanied by another woman and a younger man. They ate, left around 4 p.m. and then the woman returned, offering to buy meals for 180 diners.

The tab: close to $2,600. She even gave $50 to each of the five servers.

“Everybody got up and applauded and started hugging her,” Reaves said. “In my 35 years in the restaurant industry, I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Even though the woman denied being MacKenzie, Reaves said she “sure looked like her.”

The restaurant is around 15 miles from Zephyrhills, Florida, where the lottery winning woman is from. Taking her winnings in a lump sum, officials said MacKenzie received $278 million.

Walmart Company Statement Related to Order Denying Class Certification in Dukes, et al., v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

BENTONVILLE, Ark., Aug. 2, 2013 – Today, Judge Charles R. Breyer, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, ruled in favor of Wal-Mart in the Dukes v. Wal-Mart gender-discrimination class action, denying the plaintiffs' request for certification of a California-based class.

Walmart is pleased that today’s ruling rejects the attempt of a few associates to turn their individual complaints into a sweeping and unwarranted class action. As the U.S. Supreme Court recognized in 2012, these claims are unsuitable for class treatment because each individual’s situation is so different. We’ve said all along that if someone believes they have been treated unfairly, they deserve to have their timely, individual claims heard in court.

Walmart has had a strong policy against discrimination in place for many years and we continue to be a great place for women to work and advance. The allegations from these five plaintiffs are not representative of the positive experiences that hundreds of thousands of women have had working at Walmart.

The district court issued a written opinion finding, upon a detailed analysis of the law and the evidence, that this case was unsuitable for class action treatment. In his ruling, Judge Breyer noted that:

“…though Plaintiffs insist that they have presented an entirely different case from the one the Supreme Court rejected, in fact it is essentially a scaled-down version of the same case with new labels on old arguments.” “Plaintiffs’ proposed class suffers from the same problems identified by the Supreme Court, but on a somewhat smaller scale. Indeed, it is revealing that there is no particular logic to the precise scope of the class Plaintiffs now propose. They picked three corporate regions covering a smaller area than the rejected national class, but nothing in Plaintiffs’ evidence shows that those three regions are actually different from any other Wal-Mart regions along any relevant dimension. Rather than identify an employment practice and define a class around it, Plaintiffs continue to challenge the discretionary decisions of hundreds of decision makers, while arbitrarily confining their proposed class to corporate regions that include stores in California, among other states.” “Moreover, as Plaintiffs themselves recognize, they have not amassed sufficient anecdotal evidence of bias and stereotyped thinking among management to establish significant proof of a general policy of discrimination within any management group, “top” or otherwise. “Ultimately, Plaintiffs' numbers are not much stronger than they were when they failed to carry the day at the Supreme Court. They have not identified statistically significant disparities in even a majority of the relevant decision units in any region across the challenged pay and promotion decisions.”

The WWE

The WWE thinks of the WWE Universe as of its sheep. You will buy their products just with Simple Subliminal messages. They use their matches as Advertising for Products look at John Cena everything he wears to the ring you can buy online on their store. They have a Product they are not selling good he wears it to the ring.

The wrestling has gotten predictable which makes it boring to watch. I have noticed promising superstars have turned into jobbers. Then, the name changes are rampant whatever help to building that particular wrestlers brand. Anything before 1990 is awesome and it has been steadily declining since. I personally watch TNA on Spike TV

Krogers in Knoxville, TN

There's several factors that keep me from not shopping at Kroger's.

#1: Prices are too high
#2: Employees are Rude
#3: Management covers up
       Employee misconduct and
       Theft

Here's my experience with Kroger's. I moved to this area in 2012 and started using Krogers. That was a major mistake on my behalf. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my then 13 year-olds prescriptions and one medicine was missing and an employee named Allan accused me of stealing it once we contacted Kroger's Corporate they all of a sudden found it.

The 2nd incident was a delivery Guy contracted to Kroger's violated the HIPPA Law. Before we could get to the Door he called out my Minor Child's First and Last Name and said he had her "insert name of medicine".

The 3rd incident was a couple of weeks ago. There was a Larger Lady walking in front of a bunch of Employees and they here comes "Cheddar Cheese body" and one Guy corrects that employee and says "its Cheddar cheese thighs" is this a Grocery Store or a damn construction site?

When contacted about the complaint I spoke to a manager by the name of Mc Donald, MC Loving or something with Mc in it. He stated they was discussing an employees wife. I call bullshit on that and if they was they are still in public and should remember this shit will cost customers.
