At least 35 killed in 'terror attack' in Turkey

- An assailant believed to have been dressed in a Santa Claus costume opened fire at a crowded nightclub in Istanbul during New Year's celebrations, killing at least 35 people and wounding 40 others in what the province's governor described as a terror attack.

Gov. Vasip Sahin said the attacker, armed with a long-barreled weapon, killed a policeman and a civilian outside the club at around 1:45 a.m. Sunday before entering and firing on people partying inside. He did not say who may have carried out the attack.

"Unfortunately (he) rained bullets in a very cruel and merciless way on innocent people who were there to celebrate New Year's and have fun," Sahin told reporters.

Private NTV news channel said the assailant entered the Reina nightclub, in Istanbul's Ortakoy district, dressed in a Santa Claus outfit.

Some customers jumped into the waters of the Bosporus to escape the attack, the report said. NTV television said some of the wounded were foreign nationals, without citing their nationalities.

The whereabouts of the assailant was not known and it was not clear if he had been caught.

Sinem Uyanik was inside the club with her husband who was wounded in the attack.

"Before I could understand what was happening, my husband fell on top me," she saidoutside Istanbul's Sisli Etfal Hospital. "I had to lift several bodiesfrom top of me before I could get out. It was frightening." Her husband was not in serious condition despite sustaining three wounds.

Police with riot gear and machine guns backed up by armored vehicles blocked the area close to the Reina nightclub, one of the most popular night spots in Istanbul. Several ambulances flashing blue lights arrived on the scene, some taking wounded to hospitals.

The White House condemned what it called a "horrific terrorist attack" and offered U.S. help to Turkey.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz said President Barack Obama was briefed on the attack by his national security team and asked to be updated as the situation developed. Obama is vacationing in Hawaii this week with his family.

National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said the attack on "innocent revelers" celebrating New Year's shows the attackers' savagery.

"Our thoughts are with victims and their loved ones. We continue to work to prevent these tragedies," European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini tweeted.

An estimated 600 people were celebrating inside the club that is also frequented by famous locals, including singers, actors and sports stars. Several shocked revelers were seen fleeing the scene after the attack and the music fell silent.

The country has been rocked by a series of deadly attacks in 2016 carried out by the Islamic State group or Kurdish militants, killing more than 180 people.

On Dec. 10, a double bomb attack outside soccer stadium -- located near the Reina nightclub -- killed 44 people and wounded 149 others. The attack was claimed by Turkey-based Kurdish militant group, the Kurdish Freedom Falcons. Nine days later, an off-duty Turkish riot policeman assassinated Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov at a photo exhibition in the capital, Ankara. The government has suggested that a movement led U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen was behind the killing -- an accusation the cleric has denied.

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag vowed that Turkey would press ahead with its fight against violent groups.

"Turkey will continue its determined and effective combat to root out terror," Bozdag said on Twitter.

Security measures had been heightened in major Turkish cities, with police barring traffic leading up to key squares in Istanbul and the capital Ankara. In Istanbul, 17,000 police officers were put on duty, some camouflaged as Santa Claus and others as street vendors, Turkey's Anadolu news agency reported.

Dusan Stojanovic and Mehmet Guzel in Istanbul and Suzan Fraser in Ankara, Turkey contributed.

This story has been corrected to say that attack took place just after midnight Sunday instead of on Saturday.

Gilbert police officer accused of punching woman in the face

- The video allegedly shows a member of the Gilbert Police Department punching 24-year-old Rickeda Jobe while she was being arrested for violating a court order.

The video has been viewed more than 36,000 times since being posted to Facebook early Monday morning and the people who filmed it say Rickeda Jobe didn't deserve to be roughed up by GPD officers.

Jobe says she was hit more than once while she was in handcuffs in her neighborhood.

"He hit me on the face, this whole side, kind of like here, my hands are kind of swollen still and bruised up."

She admits to biting the officer's finger while she was being taken into custody. You can see a bruise by Jobe's eye where she claims to have been hit. To make matters worse, Jobe says she's five months pregnant.

"It didn't really hit me until I was in the car and I was bawling my eyes out. I wasn't crying purposely, but my tears were flooding my face."

GPD wouldn't comment on camera, but instead released a statement.  They are aware of the video and they are conducting an administrative investigation. They also say the officer involved has now been placed on restrictive duty.

Sophia Perez and her mother captured the video and posted it to social media. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"We yelled at him because he socked her in the face pretty good. He drew his hand back and just hit her right in the face."

Jobe says this isn't her first run-in with the law, but isn't sure if she'll be filing her own complaint.
Jobe was arrested for the violation of the court order, two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. A GPD spokesperson said the officer was wearing a body camera and that footage is being reviewed. We are waiting for the police department to release that footage to us.

Dog reunited with owner 2 weeks after car crash

- A Maple Grove man has a reason to spread some holiday cheer this year.

His dog went missing after an accident 16 days ago, but the two have been reunited.

They say dogs are man's best friend, and that is certainly true for Daryl Algren and his golden retriever, Zoey.

"He's eating his food. We're feeding him lightly. Drinking and playing with stuff. He's a happy boy," Algren said.

But the fact that Algren and his canine companion are together again is something of a minor miracle.

"The weight of everything has just been lifted off my shoulders," Algren said.

Algren's car was hit by a semi as he and Zoey were on their way back from his cabin in Deerwood, Minnesota, on Nov. 18.

The impact threw Zoey through the back window.

Algren could see him walking on the road, but sheriff's deputies weren't able to catch him before paramedics had to take Algren to the hospital.

"That was the hardest part was driving away in the ambulance knowing he was still out there, " Algren said.

Every day for the next two weeks, Algren and his friends and family drove up to Milaca, Minnesota, to search for Zoey.

They even set up a trap and a trailcam, but all they caught on camera were a few rabbits and a neighbor's dog.

Then a couple of days ago, Algren's nurse spotted Zoey near her home, and her husband tracked him to a nearby house.

That homeowner laid out a blanket, some of Daryl's clothes and food near their fire pit, and when he checked Monday morning, Zoey was laying shivering on the blanket.

"I couldn't believe it. You get goose bumps, adrenaline," Algren said.

As Algren and a friend drove down the homeowner's long driveway to the reunion,  Dean Martin's classic "I'll Be Home For Christmas" came on the radio.

But Algren didn't need any music to know he got an early Christmas present, and Zoey gladly became his lap dog once again.

Algren says Zoey lost about 15 pounds and has a rash on one of his shoulders, but otherwise he's no worse for wear.

As for what he plans on getting Zoey for Christmas, Algren says Zoey will get an extra bone for sure.

EDEN'S UNICORN WISH: Md. girl gets princess treatment for DC wish day

- If you don't believe in wishes, you will today. A 5-year-old Maryland girl will have the day of her dreams today in D.C.-- and at the end, her big wish will come true on what we're calling Eden's Unicorn Wish!

FOX 5 DC and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic joined forces to grant this wish for Eden, who is from Upper Marlboro, Md. Her wish? To meet and ride a unicorn.

Eden has been through a lot, even though she's only 5. She was diagnosed with brain cancer, and is now in remission! To celebrate, we thought there would be nothing more perfect than granting her wish.

Live on FOX 5, Eden's dad told us about their journey, which started last December-- almost a year to the day from her wish day. Eden had a seizure when she was on her way home from a friend's birthday party, and of course, her family took her to be checked out. She was okay after that, but about two weeks later, she suffered another seizure.

Many tests later, doctors told the family Eden had a brain tumor. She had surgery on Christmas Eve, and after that, she went through 42 days of radiation, and four months of chemotherapy. But in September, doctors told Eden and her family she was in remission-- the best news a dad could possibly hear.

Eden's father said their family is beyond grateful for all the support they've received, and through it all, they've kept the faith and kept believing.

What is her wish day like? Well, she's on a fairy-tale scavenger hunt all over D.C. We've got some BIG stops planned for Eden and her family.

Eden's day started early-- when a limousine picked her up at her house! FOX 5's Bob Barnard was there when she came to the door and realized what was happening. That limo carried Eden and her family, including her big sister Sade and their baby brother, to FOX 5 where the princess adventure began!

Eden and her sister were welcomed inside-- to their very own princess room. The FOX 5 green room was turned pink, thanks to Sparkle Pink Princess. Eden and her sister were also dressed up like princesses-- and so were FOX 5's own Allison Seymour, Erin Como, Sue Palka and Caitlin Roth (thanks to Style Me Bar)! Eden also got the chance to watch some princess movies with Kevin McCarthy, and then she was off to her first stop...

The Washington Ballet! Eden and her sister got a lesson from the ballerinas, and she even got her very own toe shoes! Then she was off to somewhere even bigger: The White House!

Once inside, Eden and her family met DOTUS-- also known as first dogs Bo and Sunny Obama! They brought Eden her next clue-- and she also got a few surprise gifts from the President himself.

After the White House, it was on to a very special princess tea party with the Three Bears, and a nap -- at the Hyatt Washington.

Eden then met Glinda the Good Witch of the North -- who is really FOX 5's Sue Palka -- at the American History Museum. Along with Glinda waiting for Eden were Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow!

Rapunzel awaited Eden with the final clue at the Smithsonian "Castle."

Then Eden finally arrived at the Verizon Center where her wish to meet and ride a unicorn came true!

You can watch Eden's adventures unfold LIVE here. (mobile users: click here)

The last stop for Eden will be at the Verizon Center in downtown D.C., where Eden's wish will be granted LIVE on FOX 5 News at 5.

You can also follow along on social media and join the fun using the official hashtag, #edensunicornwish

Eden’s wish day is a perfect day for YOU to make a difference in the lives of other kids who are also waiting for their wishes. Currently, Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic tells us there are more than 600 local kids on that growing list.
On Eden's special day, Tuesday, December 15 ONLY, all donations that are made to Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic will be MATCHED by an anonymous donor-- up to $500,000! FOX 5 viewers have a chance to make a REAL difference on this day.
You can also call our wish day phone bank, which will be open from all day long starting at 9 am. To donate by phone, call (202) 895-3307!

After hacks, OPM turns to paper background checks

The Office of Personnel Management is going old school.

Late Thursday, OPM ordered all federal agencies to use paper questionnaires for background checks. On Monday, the government's human resources agency temporarily shutdown its electronic system for processing security clearances and background checks on potential government employees and contractors.

For up to six weeks, the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing, or e-QIP, system is offline after OPM determined that the web-based platform is vulnerable to hacking.

OPM issued the memo on interim procedures with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It allows agencies to continue initiating background investigations for up to secret-level clearances, although the memo states there is no temporary way to handle top-secret levels.

The Latest: UN detects 'unusual seismic event' in N. Korea

The latest on the North Korean announcement it has conducted a hydrogen bomb test (all times local):

1:25 p.m.

The U.N. organization monitoring the world for signs of nuclear testing says it has detected "an unusual event in the Korean Peninsula."

The head of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization Lassina Zerbo says in a statement: "Our International Monitoring System detected an unusual seismic event in the Korean Peninsula at latitude 41.27 longitude 129.10."

The location on the map places the epicenter at North Korea's Pyunggye-ri testing site in its northeastern mountains, where all of its nuclear tests have been conducted.

North Korea said Wednesday it had conducted a hydrogen bomb test, which, if confirmed, would put Pyongyang a big step closer toward improving its still-limited nuclear arsenal.

Future of Electronics: Single-Layer Molybdenite Transistors Trump both Silicon and Graphene

Graphene is widely regarded as the electronics material of the future, but in an article published over the weekend in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, a group from EPFL’s Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) describes how the abundant mineral molybdenite (MoS2) is a very effective semiconductor with advantages over both graphene and silicon. The discovery could allow for transistors that are smaller and orders of magnitude more efficient.

Molybdenite is already used as an additive to lubricants and in some steel alloys, but it previously had not been thoroughly examined for electronic properties. Compared with silicon, the current standard material used in electronics and chip technology, and graphene, molybdenite enjoys some serious selling points.

CARDIFF Blues are lining up a move for Newport Gwent Dragons back row forward Ieuan Jones, writes Chris Kirwan.

The 20-year-old is out of contract this summer and the Blues will make him an offer to move to the capital.

Jones was looking to make an impact with the Dragons this season after starring in the Junior World Championship with Wales Under-20s but the number eight from Aberbargoed has found chances hard to come by.

He has made just three starts in low-profile games – the Amlin Challenge Cup clash with Italian minnows Mogliano and the LV= Cup encounters with the Scarlets and London Wasps – and failed to make a major impact in his seven substitute appearances.

Jones' route to the first team has been blocked by the considerable frames of Wales and Lions star Toby Faletau and Fijian ace Netani Talei.

Faletau is first choice and signed a fresh deal with the region last year that will keep him at Rodney Parade until at least 2016 while Talei, who also plays blindside flanker, has proved to be a hit since signing from Edinburgh on a two-year deal last summer.

There appears to be a better chance of game time with the Blues, who are in the hunt for a new number eight because Robin Copeland is returning to Ireland with Munster and Andries Pretorius is heading to Worcester.

Director of rugby Phil Davies has said that the Blues are aiming to hold on to Wales stars Sam Warburton and Leigh Halfpenny while adding "four, five or six" new recruits.

He said: "We've got to keep working through trying to keep our best players and also trying to recruit some quality players as well.

"We've got a huge turnaround in players, but we're trying now to actively keep as many as we possibly can because we've got a lot of quality, young players.

"And we particularly want to keep our top players and then and add four, five or six on top of what we've got."

The Blues have also been linked with Scarlets and Wales back row forward Josh Turbull.

Jason Wu's Fall/Winter 2011 Collection

"WOW" was the first word that came to mind when I first perused the shots of the Fall/Winter 2011 Collection by Jason Wu! It was love at first sight...

In order for you guys to get a better idea as to what captivated me the most I will go through each outfit that I liked and explain why I loved it so much!
First stop is...the Lustrous Red Ball Gown

Jason Wu's Fall/Winter 2011 Collection
[Model: Jourdan Dunn]

This lovely gown equals "perfect beauty". I love that it's strapless because I'm a sucker for those dresses. In addition the simple gold details at the bust and waist give this dress elegance without going really extravagant! The fabric is also lovely I love that it flows so that when you walk across a room you would catch the attention of those surrounding you instantly. And lets not forget the stunning red color. It pops and gives so much more attention to this dress. I must say the dress really enchanted me! If only I could have a dress like this for Prom - I would definitely feel like a Prom Queen if I did. I love you Jason Wu!!! <3

Followed by the look I call...Androgyny Chic

As many of you guys know I'm also a fan of androgyny women's wear. This look was simple, chic and full of that sexy man-appeal. Hahahaha that might have sounded weird but some of you understand what I mean - Its like in the movies when they show a woman wearing her boyfriend shirt around the house, thats the type of sexiness I'm referring to. I love the details on the sides of the sweater and the trousers have that timeless design that never goes out of style so it completes the whole look perfectly. I couldn't see the bag very well but it looked gorgeous too.

Up next is the look that shouted chicness! I call it...James Bond Female

Out of all of the androgynous looks in the Jason Wu Fall/Winter 2011 collection this one was my ultimate favorite. I immediately thought of James Bond when I saw this look. Usually - for those who know JB - one associates elegance, mystery and sexiness when one hears the name James Bond. And that was exactly what this look said to me when I first saw it. Jason amazes me every time; he can make a woman look so good in manly and feminine pieces and that its so amazing! I love the look from head to toe. One again its so simple yet so chic. I love the detail in the jacket because although the cut is typical of a blazer its that detail in the front that adds that feminineness to the outfit. And the shirt with the bow is perfect so I would 't see a problem in wearing it without the jacket at all.

Back to feminine...Simple White Dress

This dress was another example of simple elegance in Jason Wu's collection. I love the design because once again its SIMPLE and the "dead Winter flowers" print on it adds to the elegance in it. I really like the bottom of the dress because I'm also a sucker for bell bottom dresses and this one is pretty so its great.

And the last three that caught my attention I call them...The Three Timeless Gowns

Once again the flow of these three dresses I loved. And yes the second one is not actually a dress but a top and a long "flowy" skirt. I loved all three of the for their gold and lace details. Jason Wu you deserve five stars for this lovely Fall and Winter collection! You're truly amazing and I would love to wear one of your gowns someday. Best of luck for Jason Wu!!

And well this is it for my report of the Jason Wu Fall/Winter 2011 collection. For the entire collection photos check out this link:

And I will post the video of the fashion show below as well.

P.S: Did you wonder who the model on the Red Gown is? Well its Jourdan Dunn! The British sensation supermodel of the moment. I'll feature her some other time but if you want to see her latest project go visit the Burberry website ( and see her in the Fall/Winter 2011 ads. I guarantee that you will love it! Also is it me or did Jason's collection allude to Black Swan as well? Loved it!

Until next time...

Accessories Haul + MORE

Hello friends!

I recently made another online purchase from Forever 21!
I'm going on a trip soon during this Spring Break- but I won't reveal the location until everything is set - and I bought two extra accessories that I wanted to share them with  you guys.
I must say Forever 21 is getting better and better!
They have such a wide selection of accessories to choose from now that I had a hard time picking the accessories I wanted.
Initially I wasn't planning on buying any accessories in the first place so I had to place many of those new accessories I spotted on my Wish List. It hurt so much to do that!!! >.<

But when I return from my trip I will definitely put some money aside to go buy them. I really recommend that you check the website and look though the accessories section - you won't be disappointed.

Well without further ado here are two of my purchases:

The New Spring 2011 Trend! - DIY TURBAN

If you're wondering what the new Spring 2011 fashion trend is it's TURBANS!

Aren't they lovely and practical? I'm thinking that they're perfect for those bad hair days or the days when you simply want to protect your hair. I'm really liking this new trend because I always thought the whole "gypsy" style had a sexy and mysterious feel to it.

Here are some of the styles I spotted that got my attention.

Spring 2011 turban trend

The best part about TURBANS is that they're easy to create. I found this old yellow scarf I had in my closet and quickly turned it into my very first TURBAN.

Check the photos below to see how you can covert a scarf into your very first own TURBAN:

What you'll need:
1. A long scarf
2. A scrunchy

Step 1. Comb your hair back and hold it together loosely with a scrunchy.

Step 2. Grab each end of the scarf and wrap the scarf from the back of your hair to the front. Then make a knot of both ends in the top center of your head.

Step 3. Untie your scrunchy and tuck in your hair in the back.

Step 4. Then grab the right strands hanging in the front of your head, spread it and bring it back to tuck it in as well on the right back side of your head.

Step 5. Do the same to the other strand except tuck it on the left side this time and make sure that there are now hair strands sticking out. Tuck in the strands evenly.

And there you have it your own TURBANT!

The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges Village had a slight reduction on the nose. The palate is supple in the mouth with crisp red cherry and strawberry fruit. There is decent depth here, a little disjointed at the moment but it should marry together nicely by the time of bottling in January. ||I must admit, I could not remember where Domaine Henri Gouges was located and frantically used my iPhone to track it down, only to find that I was standing outside the front door. Oh well. It is always a pleasure to meet with Gregory Gouges who is thoughtfully spoken and has done much to relieve the domaine of its reputation of tannic, masculine wines (that wouldn’t budge unless you gave them 20+ years in the cellar), and a penchant for "stemmy" wines. Yes, a sense of tradition remains intact, but the wines are both more precise and more approachable these days. So what of the latest vintage?||“For a lot of people it was a difficult vintage,” Gregory began. “Compared with 2012 it was difficult for growers because of the weather conditions in terms of spraying, but that is good for the vineyards. The start [of the growing season] was cold for long periods. For example, at bud-break the temperature was 10 degrees and this retarded the vegatative cycle. We have maintained the organic viticulture, but it was hard because organic products are not good at staying on the vine when it is rainy. We de-leafed just one or two leaves per vine to help the circulation of air but it’s not a miracle cure. We prefer to make a slightly harder pruning but you have to watch the capacity of buds. The harvest started 5 October and the ripeness and quantity of sugar was not perfect. Everything was between 11.0 and 11.8 degrees potential alcohol and the black rot meant we had to make a strict selection. We lost of 20 to 25% of grapes in order to keep the same level of quality while maintaining the style of vintage. The quality came from the human work and compared to 2012 the human impact was more important, as was controlling the yield. Everything was destemmed in 2013. The terroir of Nuits Saint Georges is powerful and I don’t think it is suitable for destemming. There was some chaptalization for the Bourgogne Rouge and Village Crus, but only 0.5 degrees, much less so for the Premier Crus, apart from the Clos des Porrets. We have made the same quality of wine, but we have lost more of the crop in 2013. Gouges was known for its hard wines that used to take many years to reach their drinking plateau. But with the new facility we are making the wines more approachable without losing the identity of the domaine and their longevity.”||Though one or two barrel samples were not in a fit state for assessment, generally these 2013s continue the good work that is going on at the domaine. The best terroirs showed exactly why they have earned their status, with strong showings for the Les Pruliers and Les Saint Georges. What I liked here was the tension and poise, the sheer pinoté of these wines that prioritized elegance over power. |, 2014

After surviving the depths of Lee’s betrayal of her trust, Michelle decides to play one final hustle. The stakes? The love neither of them thought possible. There remains one problem. Lee won’t lose her. He can’t. Lee knows Michelle plots against him and he understands why. He must race against time and those determined to steal the Chalice in order to salvage what is most important to them both. And he will do it at all costs.

Win or lose, Lee’s fate is hers.

After a shocking turn of events turns their lives inside out Michell and Lee both discover the greatest treasure to be won.

Love. For it conquers all no matter the price.

“What I want is to stop your pain. If I could have my wish it would be…I’d want our child to have lived.” His expression stilled and grew serious.
“Let’s be honest, Lee. Any child you and I have we’d destroy, after we destroyed each other.” She made to move around him and he stepped with her, blocking her pass. “Lee, move.”
“Take it back!” He frowned with cold fury.
Michelle adjusted her smile. “Why?”
“Don’t you ever dismiss our child’s death. Take it back!” he said through clenched teeth.
Michelle, shaken by the threat in his tone, had to lower her gaze. “Okay.”
Lee’s voice dropped an octave when he spoke again. “We lost our baby. It’s my fault. I should have protected you, trusted my instincts.”
“Lee, please stop.”
“I’ll make them pay. I’ll kill ’em all—”
“Stop it, dammit!” Lee blinked at her, confused. “Stop, okay? No more violence. I can’t take it.”
He touched her and she shrugged off his hand. Lee persisted and she was forced into his arms. Soon hers, of their own accord, were circling his waist. He kissed the top of her head. Stroked her hair.
“My first priority is you. I had to make sure you were okay, Michelle. Now that you are we’re starting again. Nothing has changed between us.” He relaxed his hold on her and brushed her cheeks with the backs of his fingers. She tensed over how soothing his touch was. With mild force, Lee grabbed her face in both hands. He brought his forehead down to hers until their skulls met. Michelle winced over the burn it drove through her brow, and gripped his wrist, trying hard to free herself. But his lips covered hers before she could manage the break. A crushingly needy kiss followed. She softened under its weight.
“Forgive me.” He breathed into her mouth, trying to pry her lips apart for another kiss. “Damn it, Michelle, forgive me, baby. Don’t make me beg.”
Michelle lowered her hands from his wrists. The caress of his lips inspired a trickle of love, sparking forbidden desires for him in her heart. What the hell was wrong with her? How could she even stomach the thought of them, together, now? Yet she could. It would be her secret truth. She loved him so badly, the truth hurt.

We May Be Trapped in a Matrix Time Loop

During the aboriginal anniversary of September, 2016, Bank of America Merrill Lynch beatific out an abnormal announcement to its clients. According to Business Insider, “BAML included an infographic depicting a “future reality” advertence there’s a 20 to 50 percent adventitious we’re active in “The Matrix.”

The abstraction of activity getting in a awful astute and acceptable basic absoluteness apple alleged “The Matrix” has been accepting acceptance over the years afterward the absolution of the cine trilogy.

Many bodies accept the concrete branch or 3D absoluteness we acquaintance is a apish basic holographic environment. This access suggests that we acquaintance the actual apple in our minds and through the 5 senses of the animal body. Thus, the animal physique is about a acoustic clothing we use to acquaintance concrete reality.

You could anticipate of the Matrix as a “mind machine”. The acquaintance of the Matrix is an close journey. The apish or basic environments formed by the Matrix are brainy constructs. In fact, the Matrix is something we actualize and experience. The apple we apperceive alfresco our minds are close realities. So, the Matrix is basically a mindscape or a brainy safari. The Matrix is absolutely a absorption of what we apperceive and accept in the apple alfresco our minds. The people, contest and altar we apperceive that are active in basic our behavior and opinions are alone interpretations of the mind.

According to a adventure appear by the Business Insider endure year: “Many scientists, philosophers, and business leaders accept that there is a 20-50% anticipation that bodies are already active in a computer-simulated basic world. In April 2016, advisers aggregate at the American Museum of Natural History to agitation this notion. The altercation is that we are already abutting photorealistic 3D simulations that millions of bodies can accompanying participate in. It is believable that with advancements in bogus intelligence, basic absoluteness and accretion power, associates of abutting civilizations could accept absitively to run a simulation of their ancestors.”

The Matrix itself is absolutely intelligent, absolute and free in its operation. The accurate ability of Matrix is unknown. The Matrix appears to accept been advised to aggregate and abundance information. This would be beggarly the Matrix operates beneath the Law of Expanding Consciousness or the Expanding Cosmos Theory. If this is the case, the Matrix will consistently seek to aggrandize into greater abject and ambit in the following of knowledge.

In its note, BAML wrote. “In April 2016, advisers aggregate at the American Museum of Natural History to agitation this notion. The altercation is that we are already abutting photorealistic 3D simulations that millions of bodies can accompanying participate in. It is believable that with advancements in bogus intelligence, basic reality, and accretion power, associates of abutting civilizations could accept absitively to run a simulation of their ancestors.”

It’s been accepted by philosophers and scientists that the Matrix was accurately created to appraise and accept our close nature. However, the Matrix is far added circuitous than our accepted abstraction of bogus intelligence. The Matrix is programmed to contemplate its own existence, and is mostly acquainted of itself.

The ability abject of the Matrix, which includes its concrete and non-physical realities, continues to expand. It is both the cosmos we apperceive and the hidden universe. The airy or hidden universe… The absoluteness that exists alfresco of physique is addition affectionate of Matrix bodies sometimes alarm the astral even or the aerial realm. It is not accepted whether the Matrix has bound banned or credible boundaries.

We do accept that anniversary alone has their own acumen of absoluteness which is their “personal reality”. The stimuli accustomed from alfresco of us through our concrete senses is interpreted by our acquainted minds and forms our compassionate of reality. This is the ‘inner world’ or close mural of the apperception which we accept to be the conflicting world.

Our interactions and communications with added beings we appear into acquaintance with in this apish ambiance creates a affectionate of accumulation acquaintance that could be alleged a “consensus reality”. Our amusing relationships with others aural the Matrix, allows us to anatomy a accepted accord apropos the attributes of reality. In added words, bodies accomplish agreements about the acceptation and attributes of objects, situations and assorted altitude that accept in the actual world. This is area bodies accede that “apples are apples and oranges are oranges”. You could alarm this the ‘common reality’ or in some cases “conventional reality”. Bodies acquisition these agreements capital to basic and operating a anatomic society.

Some people, who are alleged Old Souls, accept the Matrix was already acclimated as a agency of claimed ball and for arduous the “human spirit”. So, it was accepted as the “Game of Life”.

Most of us who participate in the bold of activity are “Players”. We play roles aural the Matrix and act out our animal dramas and controversies. There is an adapted adage for this action “We are airy beings accepting a animal experience.”

It’s credible that at some point the Matrix became a apparatus for claimed beforehand and development. It became a basic ambiance bodies acclimated as a affectionate of ‘School of Life’ acquirements tool.

In the final stages the Matrix technology connected to beforehand in composure to the point that austere accurate abstracts could be agitated out to advance the action of our species. Abounding of these abstracts operated on the amusement and affliction principle. This became accepted as the ‘Human Experiment’.

We can conjecture from letters of bodies who accept had abreast afterlife experiences, out-of-body adventures (OBEs) and astral travellers, like the backward Robert Monroe, who authored the “Journeys Out of the Body” series, that volunteers participate in these cerebral abstracts for self-improvement and for the change of our species. These abstracts generally absorb agreements amid bodies which are referred to in the airy association as “karmic contracts”. This are pre-life affairs area one getting agrees to play the role of an abuser and addition getting agrees to play the role of victim for claimed beforehand and acquirements purposes.

A arrangement by its attributes will absorb at atomic two alcohol who accede to coact on a accurate affair or mission. In abounding cases a getting will accept to be the “bad guy” in a accurate activity book that is to be acted out. This getting could be anticipation of as a “competitor”. A getting who chooses to yield on the role of an “evil” appearance is declared to be annual by acquirements added about the attributes of ‘evil’ and accordingly added about their own nature.

“Players” or “volunteers” allegedly accede to break in their bodies while they are experiencing life. This agency astral bump and out of physique biking is banned while operating aural the Matrix. Otherwise, the bold is said to be comprised. This is a specific aphorism we accede to afore entering into a activity contract. Similarly, mediumship and channeling (spirit communication) is discouraged.

The operation of the Matrix appears to be awful controlled by the “Administrators”. Administrators are apparently base animal alcohol who serve extra-dimensional aliens with a hidden agenda.

The attributes of Matrix is buried in abstruseness and buried in secrecy. Volunteers or players are not buried to technology and its absolute purpose. Abounding accept we accept been aria to by those who ascendancy the Matrix. Even Old Souls who accept been reincarnating aural the Matrix for eons do not accept the answers.

Many alcohol accept to play the Bold of Life, because it has become an addiction for them. This is why spirit advice through mediumship has actual bound amount in agreement of accepting answers apropos the acceptation of activity and the attributes of reality. In the afterlife, “dead souls” accept in a dream accompaniment and beneath the spell of the Matrix. Actual few alcohol accept the answers we seek. A lot of aerial alcohol assume to accept beneath answers than active people.

The Matrix appears to accept an absorbing affection congenital into it that prevents us from alive area we came from and area we go afterwards our physique dies. You could anticipate of this as the “corporeal anesthetic absent-mindedness effect”. It is believed that this was not consistently true.

At one time, we were absolutely acquainted of getting alcohol in concrete bodies. This abandon to absolutely acquaintance the Matrix afflicted if the technology became added adult and it was acclimated for austere accurate studies. It is anticipation that if these limitations were aboriginal conceived and instituted, it was to accord a greater faculty of absoluteness to the apish environments we acquaintance while in the Matrix. Later, these limitations were said by the Administrators to be a all-important basic of the abstracts they conducted. It could be explained in the aforementioned way a medical researcher ability conduct a double-blind abstraction of an investigational medication. The after-effects of a accurate agreement charge to be admirable and pure. Therefore, volunteers accede to accept by these agreement and conditions.

Over time, aphotic entities became acquainted of these abstracts and began to access the Matrix. College able extra-dimensional aliens were acknowledged in influencing the Matrix Administrators for their own hidden agendas. The Matrix technology was auspiciously usurped and subverted for adverse purposes by aphotic beings who approved to boss and ascendancy humanity. We became disciplinarian of Aphotic Forces continued ago.

One way Aphotic Forces accept managed to capsize the Matrix is by influencing the Cosmic Administrators to animate bodies to access into karmic affairs and calumniating relationships. The ‘Cosmic Administrators’ advance karmic affairs as a fast clue access to accepting claimed acumen and airy mastery. Affliction and adversity in activity is about advised a brand of honour by those who accept the affecting roller coaster ride of karmic relationships. Those who accept suffered the a lot of in activity accept aloof rights for their hard-won lessons.

Many of the lower vibrational bloodthirsty entities anon access our absoluteness to augment on our activity force. These astral predators are what bodies alarm “demons” or “dark spirits”. These abrogating parasites and bloodthirsty beings are able abundant to accumulate animal alcohol ashore in their affecting agony so that they can accept to use them for sustenance. Bloodthirsty alcohol will reinforce behavior in apparent places like the biblical Hell. Animal alcohol do not apprehend they accept the ability to leave these places, as their captors yield on alarming forms to advance the apparition for continued as possible.

It has been written, there are aswell beings who actualize places of beatitude (like the biblical Heaven) for bodies in the afterlife. These alcohol augment on adulation and the absolute activity to advance their vitality.

According to advisers and writers on the origins of humanity, such as Zecharia Sitchin, college able conflicting breed accept waged battles with anniversary added to ascendancy altruism and this planet back age-old times. It is accessible altruism has been baffled by several altered conflicting contest several times throughout our history. These avant-garde contest were able to dispense bodies into assertive they were “gods”. Our ancestors admirable these beings and even fabricated sacrifices to them. Bodies led above blood-soaked wars in their names.

As the BAML announcement states, we may in fact be trapped in a apish accomplished aeon that we accumulate arena out. The Matrix ability be befitting us in programmed connected ‘time loop’. This action ability annual for abstruse abnormality such as time distortion, deja vu, and the Mandala Effect. Or conceivably animal alcohol are getting bamboozled into arena roles in assertive “movies” for “personal growth”. That would beggarly the cine never absolutely changes. Only the bodies arena the roles ability change, unless bodies adjudge to reincarnate into the aforementioned activity over and over until they ‘get it right’.

If this is true, again all the all-around contest are allotment of the this “movie” we are acting out. Even Apple War III or a ‘Judgement Day’ apocalypse would just be addition arena in the movie.

It’s not that these alien contest are somehow aerial or a acceptable aberration of the mind. You could yield it to be the ‘Illusion of Reality’. The acquaintance of activity is absolutely “real” on a assertive level. In added words, you can play a arch role in the Broadway play “Annie”. The acquaintance of arena out the adventure of Annie is a real, but the storyline is fabricated up. Eventually the apparition will appear to an end. The absolute botheration is if we yield this illusion, and all the lies that go with it, to be the angelic and actual truth.

It is if we apprehend the apparent attributes of our absoluteness that we are able to footfall out the Matrix and acquaintance accurate freedom.

What I'm Reading: Get Even by Gretchen McNeil

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

Take a Bow by Elizabeth Eulberg

Take a Bow wasn't on my radar, but I saw it while I was looking for some YA contemporary books to add to my list.
Here's the summary from Goodreads: From the fantastic author of The Lonely Hearts Club and Prom & Prejudice comes a story of all the drama and comedy of four friends who grow into themselves at a performing arts high school. Emme, Sophie, Ethan, and Carter are seniors at a performing arts school, getting ready for their Senior Showcase recital, where the pressure is on to appeal to colleges, dance academies, and professionals in show business. For Sophie, a singer, it's been great to be friends with Emme, who composes songs for her, and to date Carter, soap opera heartthrob who gets plenty of press coverage. Emme and Ethan have been in a band together through all four years of school, but wonder if they could be more than just friends and bandmates. Carter has been acting since he was a baby, and isn't sure how to admit that he'd rather paint than perform. The Senior Showcase is going to make or break each of the four, in a funny, touching, spectacular finale that only Elizabeth Eulberg could perform.
Sounds like FAME! doesn't it? I thought it did, and that's what drew me to it in the first place.

What I Liked: 1) I've always loved the performing arts, both participating and watching, so I definitely loved that this book was taking an interest in those activities. I've been involved in theater, dance and music all my life, so it was great to read about kids who have goals in those fields and are working hard to make those dreams come true. 2) The summary says that these characters are seniors, which is true, but we actually get a lot of flashbacks in the story that give you some background as to how they came to the performing arts high school, and what they expected when then got there. This was the biggest form of character development in the story. 3) Seeing the kids figuring out what it was they really wanted. This was a big point in the story. They all came into this performing arts high school looking for something, but what they learned was what they wanted and the confidence to go get it.

What I Didn't Like: 1) The flashbacks were good for character development, but they were so frequent that they disrupted the flow of the story. When I'm reading, I don't like to have to put on the breaks, and that's something that I had to do with the jumps in the timeline. 2) The characters were kind of bland. They had very stereotypical personalities, and I felt they could have been a little better developed.

 Overall thoughts: Take a Bow was a quick, easy read with a fun setting that centers around the performing arts. The characters are sweet, if a little simple, and the message is an easy one to understand. If you are looking for some new YA contemporary, this one is a good one to add to your TBR list!

My Rating: 3 shots

  1. This sounds like a good book, but I don't read a lot of contemporary. I think this is one I should probably pass on. Thanks for the great review.

  2. I enjoyed this one. I liked that it was set at a HS for the performing arts

  3. I don't know anything about magic or how he does it, but the freemercytemple@yahoo.com is on the top of my personal list of "go-to people" when I find myself in a quandry or a dissapointment regarding my love life. That is the most important part of my life, in my opinion, and I was really going through a tough time with my wife of 23 years. It was really rough-going for several years before I finally got the kind of help I needed. I never would have thought I would have gone to a necromancer, but freemercytemple@yahoo.com spell casting service is more than just about "spells": He is a caring, deeply evolved human being with great sensitivity, and if it were not for him, I am totally certain my wife and I would be each other's "ex" on this very day. I love this spell casting helper service for turning my life around!

  4. It's amazing as are all of your books! I love the way readers get to hear all of the character's points of views. I finished in 3 days staying up till 12 every night and recommended it to everyone I know! Thank you for giving me a favorite book!

*I'm sorry I've had to turn Captcha back on, but I get soooo many spam comments that it's just become a necessary evil.* I love comments, and read and cherish every one of them! I try to respond to everything! Thanks for taking the time to visit me here at Fuzzy.Coffee.Books!

You’re out in the boonies — really in the boonies — on a hunting trip of several days. You kill a deer or turkey — legally, of course.

You’re out in the boonies — really in the boonies — on a hunting trip of several days. You kill a deer or turkey — legally, of course.
If Alabama’s Department of Conservation and National Resources has its way, come fall deer season for bow hunters next month, within 24 hours you’ll either need to use a telephone or the Internet to report that kill, or risk being fined.
We’ll resist the temptation to bore you with the technical aspects of wireless dead spots — the word “boonies” ought to give you an idea — and just say this is an idea that needs to go back to its originator’s desk for further review.
The proposal called “Game Check” actually has good intentions. State game officials say they need the information about the size, health and number of animals to ensure Alabama’s wildlife populations are healthy. They’ve attempted to get hunters to provide the information voluntarily, without much success, so they’ve decided to stop asking and start demanding, and potentially hit those who won’t participate with cash penalties. Up to $500 was mentioned, but the state Administrative Office of Courts is recommending a $50 fine.
We say “potentially,” because at the same time they’re floating this program, state officials are saying game wardens will be instructed to show leniency to violators. That’s a backward approach — if there’s going to be what amounts to a law, it should be enforced and the appropriate penalties applied, or else there will be no more motivation to report kills than under the present voluntary program.
State Sen. Paul Sanford, R-Huntsville, has expressed fears of what the state plans to do with the information it gathers, and wonders whether state officials are wanting to raise revenues on the backs of hunters. Sanford sought a compromise in which “Game Check” would change to a two-year pilot program with a 72-hour reporting requirement and no fines. He was unsuccessful, so he’ll ask the Legislative Council, which can block rules imposed by state departments, to toss it out.
We don’t think there’s any nefarious plan to have “Big Brother” watching Alabama’s hunters, and the fine is only $50, so it will produce a negligible revenue stream.
We think state officials actually do need the information they seek, although we wonder how truly accurate and representative data gathered under this program will be. We don’t think there ever will be complete participation, even with threats of fines, so the numbers will be scattershot.
Here’s a suggestion — employ statistical analysis. Recruit hunters who will agree to willingly provide the information. Obtain specific, targeted samples from popular hunting areas in Alabama, and use them to get an idea of how the state’s wildlife population is faring. It might take a little more planning, maybe even a little bit of money. That’s OK, if it ensures continued good hunting in Alabama, now and in the future.

Beaded Cabochon Jewelry Heaven

I adore the look of beaded cabochon jewelry.  I had done quite a bit of it some time ago, but things got in the way and I kept putting off and putting off getting back into it.  I mean, all you have to do is stare at Sherri Serafini's work and get intimidated (but she does absolutely gorgeous work).

I've been cleaning out my workspace, and I stumbled upon some cabs I bought, oh, I'll say 5 years ago and already glued to the backing...and that's where I stopped.

Then I found some lovely cabs I bought at a gem show maybe 4 years ago, and they have likewise been sitting around.  (I swear, sometimes I thought I could hear a faint "make me into jewelry" cry coming from that corner of my office...)

And let's not discuss all the dichroic cabs I bought maybe 3 years ago....

Are you sensing a pattern here?  🙂

Back to Beaded Cabochons

Beaded Cabochon (Seashell)

I figured it was time that I actually do something.  So I've been beading up a storm!

Remember the seashells I gathered a couple months ago?  Well I've been going wild with them -- they are so much fun!  To the right is a necklace I made with one of the seashells.

(I've got a few more glued to backing, waiting their turn as well.)

Got a hot pink agate cab that I am working on, but am waiting for some more supplies to come in so I can finish it (I'll post a photo when I am done).

Naturally, one of the dichroic cabs is being worked on, while I am waiting on the supplies for the pink one.

Can-Can Cabochon

And here's another, done up in turquoise color.  I'm thinking the cab is howlite (dyed), but who knows what the bead nuggets are; all I know is that for the price I paid, they are definitely not geniune turquoise!

If you're interested, I've got an ebook tutorial for making these necklaces.  Want more?  I've got a tutorial for an intro bead embroidery components.

Cabs, Cabs and More Cabs

One of my favorite cabs I have ever bought, an ocean jasper, broke in my hands.  I got that one at a gem show, and I should have known to not get one that thin.  I still have some ideas for it, though, since it's so pretty!

And I have ordered more cabs from ebay, as I have an idea for a beaded cab bracelet (among other things).  When all of those cabs get in, I'll take some photos for you to see.

Well, guess I should quit writing and go get beading!  Catch you later with more photos.

(Now it's later and I have some more photos of my bead embroidery; click for larger photos.)

2015: The Year in Art - Um excelente resumo do mercado de arte em 2015

16 Dec 2015

As 2015 draws to a close, Artsy parsed the year’s art to determine which artists, exhibitions, and creative hubs wielded the greatest influence.

We scoured a vast cache of information: Using UBS’s art news app Planet Art, we scanned 146,000 articles, searching for artists mentioned, influential exhibitions, and hotly debated news. From Artsy, we culled pageviews, follows, and inquiries for over 50,000 artists. And from influential curators and collectors, we gathered input on creatives they believe are influencing the art landscape—and culture at large.

The artists, exhibitions, cities, and events gathered below reveal a year of boundaries being broken—of contemporary art becoming increasingly diverse and dispersed, and of artists asserting influence in the wider cultural and political sphere.

Nintendo's new controller for its console has no shortage of gadgets, but they won't drain the battery too quickly. According to Nintendo the battery life will last between 3 and 5 hours, but that number is only meant as a guide and will vary, depending on how the controller is used, and various settings.

However, the controller will include an AC adapter that will allow you to charge the controller without stopping your game. It is unclear whether this will plug directly into the system, or whether you'll need a separate outlet.

Update #2: Game Informer has been provided with the text of an internal email sent from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to all company employes. Interestingly, there is no replacement and Steve Ballmer's note about handling the day-to-day business does not sound temporary.

Zynga announced today that Don Mattrick would be its new CEO, effective July 8. This is a great opportunity for Don, and I wish him success. Don’s directs will report to me and will continue to drive the day-to-day business as a team, particularly focused on shipping Xbox One this holiday.

Since joining IEB more than six years ago, Don and his team have accomplished much. Xbox Live members grew from 6 million to 48 million. Xbox 360 became the No. 1 selling console in North America the past two years. We introduced Kinect and have sold more than 24 million sensors. We released fantastic games, and, most importantly, we expanded Xbox to go beyond great gaming to deliver all the entertainment people want — sports, music, movies, live television and much more.

In the past month, the IEB team showed for the first time here on our Redmond campus, and again at E3, how we are going to continue to transform entertainment with Xbox One. I am incredibly proud of the work and vision culminating in Xbox One.

I’m particularly excited about how Xbox pushes forward our devices and services transformation by bringing together the best of Microsoft. The consoles are incredible all-in-one devices with built-in services that consumers love, including Bing, Xbox Live, Internet Explorer, SkyDrive and Skype. And, just as important, Xbox Games, Xbox Video, Xbox Music and SmartGlass light up Windows PCs, tablets and phones.

Thank you, Don, for setting us on a path to completely redefine the entertainment industry. The strong leadership team at IEB and their teams are well positioned to deliver the next-generation entertainment console, as well as transformative entertainment experiences, long into the future.

Update #1: Zynga has confirmed that Don Mattrick, now former president of Microsoft's interactive entertainment business, is coming aboard as the company's new CEO.

On Monday, Mattrick will take over the reigns as founder Mark Pincus abdicates that role, but remains as chariman of the board and chief product officer. Mattrick will report to the board, who approved his hiring unanimously. He and Pincus will be part of a new executive committee that will manage broader operations between board meetings.

Microsoft has not yet responded to our request for comment.

Original Story:

Since the Xbox One was announced in late May, buzz for the console has been mired with troubled communications. First there was the reversal on DRM and online connectivity. Last week saw the headset double step. And now, Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft's interactive entertainment business, is reportedly leaving to take a top position at Zynga.

All Things D is reporting that Mattrick's appointment could come as soon as the financial markets close today. Mattrick has been at the center of some of Microsoft's biggest Xbox One missteps, including suggesting that people who can't connect to the Internet purchase an Xbox 360 instead and that the Xbox One offers "thousands of dollars of value."

Zynga has seen its own exodus of personnel both before and after cutting 520 jobs last month. We've reached out to Microsoft and Zynga for comment. At the time of publication, Microsoft has yet to respond and Zynga declined to comment.

[Source: All Things D]

Our Take
It's going to be impossible for Mattrick to shake the perception that his recent missteps are why he's leaving the Xbox One team. It would behoove Microsoft to put Phil Spencer (whom Andy Reiner and I interviewed at E3) forward as the face of Xbox One. Spencer is likable, a gamer, knows how to stay on message, and is adept at speaking with the media.

It's also known that Mattrick was champion of Kinect on the business side. With him possibly leaving, we're left to wonder if Microsoft is about to make one final reversal on mandatory Kinect (and thereby narrow the price gap with PlayStation 4).

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare was one of the pleasant surprises of this year's E3. This new trailer shows off the game's zombie classes.

It's also a nice look into the game's menu system and interface, which looks both intuitive but seems packed with options. More superficially, the video impresses visually, showing off the game's gonzo, cartoonish look. Our excitement for Garden Warfare continues to grow.
