'Flappy Bird' to be removed from app stores, developer tweets

Call it the death of flappy bird..

For weeks now, Facebook and Twitter posts have been inundated with text about Flappy Bird. People lamenting their latest death, those excelling and celebrating their success at the 1980s style phone game..

But now millions who have been struggling will be finding no more help from the flappy bird maker..

In some bit of irony, as I type this post, my son is actually using his mother’s iPad to play Flappy Bird. 
He is not doing very good ..

AOL is slashing 401K benefits—because of two young women who gave birth to sick babies!
If you don’t believe that headline, read some more in depth: AOL’s chief executive Tim Armstrong made the call on the benefits after the sick kids issue.. Armstrong, who now may have secured his one way ticket to hell, said this:

"We had two AOL-ers that had distressed babies that were born that we paid a million dollars each to make sure those babies were OK in general. And those are the things that add up into our benefits cost. So when we had the final decision about what benefits to cut because of the increased healthcare costs, we made the decision, and I made the decision, to basically change the 401(k) plan"

Sochi (Russia) (AFP) - 17:28 GMT - “Hijack attempt” - Some more serious news coming in away from Sochi now — a Ukrainian man has attempted to hijack an airliner en route from Ukraine to Turkey and divert it to Sochi, Turkish media reports say.

This is from the AFP.. Various other news sources are reporting it too.. The first Sochi scare, besides the burned out light bulb..

Today show: Snap to it, or block it? A parents' guide to 'The Lego Movie'

My wife and I have talked about making this the first movie Ayden sees in a theater.. Now I’m not so sure. I certainly am not prudish and saw my scenes of violent-lite movies as a kid… But Legos being tortured while strapped in chars ? That’s sort of rough..

Even tougher is the ‘penny beheading scene’..

Maybe we’ll wait until DVD..

Subway to remove chemical from bread

That’s nice. I am not impressed with much of any food-lite from the sandwich shop.. I have written about SUBWAY before, you can search my annals for text.

I do wonder though, now that SUBWAY has taken this magic chemical from its bread, will Jared look like this again:

Ventura goes off the grid.. Others laugh at their own peril

The Governor is going off the grid: Jesse Ventura is at an undisclosed location in Mexico, in order for drones to be unable to find him..

He told CNBC:

"I view the United States, today, much like East Berlin. And I’m off the grid. I’ve tried for 20 years to warn the country about the Democrats and Republicans, and nobody’s listening"

And just when you’re about to roll your eyes at Jesse Ventura, and anyone else who worries of a police state building in the United States, read this WASHINGTON POST article about scenes from a police state in Iowa.. And it’s from the WASHINGTON POST.. 

I will quote the first paragraph:

“Watch this video, taken from a police raid in Des Moines, Iowa. Send it to some people. When critics (like me) warn about the dangers of police militarization, this is what we’re talking about. You’ll see the raid team, dressed in battle-dress uniforms, helmets and face-covering balaclava hoods take down the family’s door with a battering ram. You’ll see them storm the home with ballistics shields, guns at the ready. More troubling still, you’ll see not one but two officers attempt to prevent the family from having an independent record of the raid, one by destroying a surveillance camera, another by blocking another camera’s lens.”..

Flash away Meryl

This ruling from a federal judge is a big deal that affects everyone: Federal judge rules drivers allowed to flash headlights to warn of speed traps…

(And don’t tell me you never did it, although sometimes here in the woods and coal mines of Pennsylvania, you get flashed by others to warn you of a deer, or some sort of other animal or creature..)

The ACLU is commending the court and a victory for motorists..

Now.. we should address flashing lights in cars as a gang initiation. That was true, wasn’t it?

A lot of people are lamenting the termination of John B Wells, including the guy who wrote this article titled "John B. Wells Fired for Being Too Popular and Truthful"

Dave Hodges from the ‘Common sense show’ also interviewed Wells..

I get that Noory is probably the worst host of Coast that could have been chosen after Art Bell relinquished the throne of AM talk show phenom.. But Wells was particularly divisive, especially after Ian Punnett left Saturday nights with a history of weird topics as opposed to controversial. 

I received lots of emails, especially on my other site HORROR REPORT, concerning Wells’ departure.. most were praising him and angry at Premiere Radio.

Interestingly enough, many Wells fans suddenly seem to have lots in common with Art Bell fans—maybe not politics but hatred of Premiere Radio over how they treated their favorite voice of the late night air waves..

My take on Wells: When he was good, he was ok.. when he was bad, he was horrible. However, he showed much improvement over the years since he began, and even began to accept some Coast to Coast AM subjects with open arms, such as aliens.. he even did the voiceovers for UNSEALED ALIEN FILES, the weird show you can find on your local TV networks late at night when you can’t sleep..

According to the COMMON SENSE report, and other numbers I saw, Coast on Saturdays with Wells was pulling in over a million people. And sometimes, even as Wells himself bragged, he was getting more listeners on a Saturday night than Noory would get all week put together.

And the most telling perhaps was an interview Wells gave immediately after he was notified of his termination. He admitted that he only talked to George Noory one time, and that it was for one minute. Nothing else since then.. 

Humility is not on display with L.A. Noory. 
Perhaps instead, Noory wanted to displace any competition from within..

The chances of Wells’ success leading to him as a full time host may have been less than possible, especially with Wells’ propelling some away with his Alex Jones lite beliefs, such as wondering aloud of the Sandy Hook massacre was a conspiracy to take guns..But nonetheless, Coast to Coast with George Noory does not want to be known as the same show with John Wells. And that is exactly what it was becoming…

One interesting thing Wells has said..despite his apparent lack of in depth understanding of the paranormal, he has stated hinted that Premiere Radio wants to “own” the paranormal.. and in that sense water it down and present it in their terms, and not the terms that a once great Art Bell would have..  It’s an interesting concept. Wells may have picked up on the big picture..

He is now going on in life to host his own internet show called the CARAVAN TO MIDNIGHT. Sadly it will be on during the midday—and also sadly for him, his show has been marred with technical difficulties that has stopped him from broadcasting when he said he would. Some say Premiere conspired against him.. Some said the same for Art Bell when suddenly, out of no where, Sirius radio announced that Coast would take over Bell’s spot after his short stint on satellite..

Premiere and conservative radio is a big Juggernaut. Premiere may be happy with the lunatics and drunks that listen to Noory.. and maybe they were getting a little unsettled with the knowledgeable and questioning souls that tuned into Wells..

And Art Bell? Well..he plans on coming back in 2015 with his own online show. Maybe it won’t be a Caravan to Midnight.. but it’s always midnight in the desert…
