Notes for Saturday December 21 & Sunday December 22, 2019
Today
we visit with Dr. J.P. Johnston, writer and producer of the new
independent film The Reliant, which jumped to the #1 spot on all
action films for an entire week on Amazon, following a successful
theatrical run on more than 700 screens in October. An unusual feat
for a small independent film, the pro-Second Amendment rights message
in THE RELIANT clearly struck a tone with the heartland, driving
enormous interest in the home entertainment property.
Starring
Kevin Sorbo, Brian Bosworth, Mollee Gray, Eric Roberts, and the
Benham Brothers, THE RELIANT dramatizes one of today’s most
important and timely issues—the gun control debate.

A new study (University of Chicago) polled married people and found that, on average, it took them just 172 days to decide that they wanted to get hitched. That’s about six months — and it’s less time, researchers found, than most people estimate they’ll need before making that big call. Surveyed singles told the researchers that they’d need about 210 days to make up their minds about their potential suitors.

A best man punched his brother’s new wife and then dragged her down the stairs on their wedding day. 29-year-old Tomos Rhydian Wilson went on a drunken rampage at the reception at Lampeter’s Falcondale Hotel in Swansea, south Wales, on July 27th. He became angry after bride Erin Mason-George and her family said her new husband should go to bed because he was drunk. Wilson said his brother should never have married Erin before throwing punches at her and even grabbing her by her wedding dress – pulling her downstairs. Wilson then assaulted Erin’s two sisters Dion and Cally and her mother Linda and hurled abuse at the family. He also damaged the hotel manager’s shirt and fixtures and fittings at the building. Aberystwyth Justice Centre District Judge Gwyn Jones found Wilson, who was working at a prison officer at the time, guilty of the five charges of assault as well as two charges of criminal damage.

Walmart is about to experiment with autonomous grocery delivery. Wa-Wa is launching a pilot program in Houston that will use a Nuro R1 self-driving vehicle to shuttle food from select stores to customers who’ve opted into the program. The companies didn’t outline how customers would enroll, but Houstonians can expect service to start in the “coming weeks.”
The
last people you should ask for advice about your love life are your
married friends. Psychologist Frank Bernieri had volunteers watch
videos of couples, and then rate how “in love” each couple was.
The result? When married people chose the couples they thought were
“most in love,” they were wrong almost every time. While singles
were almost always right! Married couples project their own happiness
onto others who may not be as blissful as they are.

Two Florida men were arrested Thursday morning after they were seen climbing the 35-foot Christmas tree at Largo Central Park. Two witnesses spotted the men climbing the tree at about 4:00 a.m. Thursday. The men also were throwing ornaments from the tree. The men – 28-year-old Shay Morgan Tracy of St. Petersburg and 27-year-old Alex Anthony Laky of Hudson -- were arrested on charges of criminal mischief and were booked into the Pinellas County jail. Bail was set at $150 for both men. Jail records show both men were released on bail. The tree had “very minor damage, some broken branches that are not noticeable. Most of the damages were broken ornaments that have since been replaced,” Largo police Lt. Scott Gore said in an email. (https://bit.ly/34iSl4Z)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by SingleStudentLoan.com
A
devoted son has been caught dressing up as his 60-year-old mother so
he could pass her driving test for her in Brazil. Maria Schiave, from
Porto Velho, in the country's north, had failed her test three times
before son Heitor took matters into his own hands.
The
43-year-old allegedly impersonated his mother by dressing up in
women's clothes on Tuesday to sit the fourth attempt on her behalf.
Donning full make-up with painted red nails, a floral blouse and long
flowing skirt and his hair blow-dried into a soft feminine style, the
car mechanic looked every inch the part. He nearly fooled the driving
test examiner until his elaborate plan backfired and she decided to
double check his ID after growing suspicious of his awkwardness as a
woman, large hands and unusually high-pitched voice. Schiave faces
charges of identity fraud and attempting to deceive a government
body. He has been released on bail while detectives open an
investigation.
