Pandora's Casket

I am sorry but our latest outrage right now here in Indiana is the slaying of the two young women and their small, and I mean small children.

What type of person can walk up to a 4 month old infant and shoot it? What goes through their heads? Don't leave a witnesses cnes? Letting others know that this is what happens to others?

Come on. A cowardly action. This incident has really pissed me off to no end. Matters little what color they are. I have read some here in Indiana and they were so racist it made me want to puke. These were innocents. I hope they find those involved and give them a death sentence.
To bad a mob wouldn't get a hold of them first. That would serve them right.



INDIANAPOLIS -- A special fund has been established to help two families with the costs of funeral expenses after two women and two of their children were fatally shot in their home Monday night.

Some city-county councilors worked with an Indianapolis attorney to set up the account as a way for the public to help after the deaths of Gina Hunt, 24; her son Jordan Hunt, 23 months; Andrea Yarrell, 24; and her daughter Charlii, 4 months.

A ever-growing memorial made of stuffed animals and candles sits outside the home as a show of support for the victims' families.

"Many in the community have a heartfelt interest in what happened this past week," said Councilor William Oliver. "We did that (start the fund) so they could be buried in the most dignified, Christian manner."

Oliver and fellow Councilor Paul Bateman joined with representatives from the office of attorney Nathaniel Lee and ministers to form a memorial fund.

"I encourage everyone in this community to help pay for this funeral. This family is left without insurance," Bateman said. "We need to do all we can to make sure this burden is not transferred to them."

Andrea Yarrell's cousin said the fund will help and will keep them focused with police in trying to find those responsible for the killings.

"Whoever did it, just step up and be a man or men, women, whatever," said Dana Golliday. "Step up and confess to the crime, because you shouldn't have did it. It wasn't worth it."

Anyone who would like to donate to the fund can do so at any central Indiana Fifth Third Bank branch.

Any remaining funds from the burial will be placed in an Education Trust Account for the surviving children, organizers said.

Funeral Services Set

Funeral arrangements are set for both sets of victims.

Services will be held Monday at noon at Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church for Andrea and Charlii Yarrell.

Viewing will be at 10 a.m. Monday.

Services are Saturday for Gina and Jordan Hunt. A public viewing is from 9 to 11 a.m. at Christ Church Apostolic. The funeral begins at 11 a.m.

Ok, while I am sitting here thinking about gifts for Valentine's Day I thought about how to save a little money while still getting the best gifts. One idea is to use online shopping coupons that I can apply towards those special gift ideas that I need to purchase.

One my favorite sites has a few super saver coupons and that is Big Dogs. The clothing that they have is usually so cute and stylish also. Great for those big and taller men in your life. They do carry womens apparel also. I have never been disappointed shopping there.

Another great place to look at buying a gift from is Illuminations. They carry some wonderful candles and other scent items that he or she will simply love.

So you see with the help of some money saving coupons Valentine's Day does not have to tear your heart out! You have time but watch those coupons. More and more added each day

For those of you that love Alice Cooper I ran into this local story that I thought was pretty cool.

If listening to his music and playing the game Guita hero will make children even walk into a library, then good for all those parties involved. I would love to walk into the library and hear music like that. haha


NOBLESVILLE -- Squealing guitars and teens rocking out to the music of singer Alice Cooper might not seem like something you'd hear at the library.

The teen advisory board at Hamilton East Public Library, however, is hoping Thursday's Guitar Hero III Tournament is the first of more gaming nights to come in the library's TeenZone.
The 21/2-hour event put two contestants side-to-side in the newest edition of the popular video game series in which players press up to five colored buttons on a guitar-shaped controller to simulate playing notes as they scroll in-time with the music on a big screen.
"It makes you think you can actually play guitar," said Joey Richey, 15, Noblesville, the tournament's first contestant.
"After you play it awhile, you just become good," said Richey, a Noblesville High School freshman. He "rocked" according to the screen, allowing him to move on to the next bracket of competition.
Richey and his 12-year-old brother, Ethan Shepherd, who also competed, said for a while the siblings were playing against each other every day, from the time they got home from school until bedtime.
"Your fingers cramp up after a while," Richey said.
Paul O'Boyle, 12, a seventh-grader at Our Lady of Grace, offered advice for the novice: "You want to start out with the easiest song possible."
Abby White, 13, one of two girls in the contest, said she became good with "a lot of practice. . . . It's more about eye-hand coordination and knowledge of the songs." During the first round, the NMS eighth-grader "almost had it," but she said the other contestant "beat me at the very last like 15 notes."
Classmate Brandie Gaebel, 14, said the gaming night was among many activities the teen advisory board has planned to attract teens in Grades 7 to 12 to the library.
Gaebel, who said the board is looking for more boys to join the board, said they've also started a craft night, movie night and a book club.
Jackie Humphrey of Fishers, who coordinates TeenZone programs and who loaned her sons' Guitar Hero game for the tournament, said other libraries around the country are buying Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Wii games. She said the game night contest was "kind of a way to test the waters to see if we'd have enough interest in getting something like this."

With the end of January coming we must pass our thought s to the next event. Valentines' Day. Our first thought races to the sending of the dozen roses to our favorite Valentine.

Maybe you might try to come up with something a little different. How about a Spa Day? What woman would not like that? Much better than a pound of candy that they will lather on their hips.


Although truthfully, all women and yes even men love to receive flowers. Send them their favorites and they will be Your Valentine for a long while to come.

Personally I would love to receive a bouquet from my special Valentine. Hint Hint
