2 NYPD officers 'assassinated'; shooter dead
New York (CNN) - Officer Rafael Ramos sat in the driver's seat. Officer Wenjian Liu was at his side.
The two cops weren't at their usual precinct -- normally, the pair was assigned to downtown Brooklyn, but they were working a "critical response" detail in an area with higher crime, police said.
That's where they were slain, ambush-style -- Saturday afternoon as they sat in their patrol car, New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said at an evening news conference.
The gunman approached the passenger side of the patrol car and took a shooting stance, witnesses told police. He opened fire several times, striking both officers in the head, Bratton said.
They were "shot and killed with no warning, no provocation," Bratton told reporters. "They were quite simply, assassinated."
The gunman was found dead in a nearby subway station from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The families of the fallen officers rushed to Woodhull Medical Center on Saturday, as dozens of their comrades gathered in a show of support.
Ramos had just turned 40 this month; Liu got married two months ago.
Both dreamed of being police officers, Bratton said.

Weapons are constantly being replaced with more advanced technology. Knives, however, have stood the test of time. History has given us many strange variations of the humble knife. And many of those were not so humble.

Someone Just Went From 3.6 Million Instagram Followers To 8. Eight.
http://www.hellou.co.uk/2014/12/someone-just-went-3-6-million-instagram-followers-8-eight-30707/
Earlier this week Instagram deleted millions of spam accounts in what was possibly social media’s biggest ever culling, much to the displeasure of egos around the globe.
The move has been dubbed the Instaspurge and hit hard those people who had paid for followers to enhance their image and credibility. One example is rapper Ma$e, whose follower count crashed from 1.6 million to 272,000 before he deleted it completely.
Website 64px put together a list of the 100 biggest accounts on Instagram at the time of the deletions to see which major players were punching way above their weight.
Celebrities such as Justin Bieber took a little bit of a knock, but their losses were just a scratch compared to the brutal casualty list suffered by a (now-deleted) account with the name “chiragchirag78.”
Before The Purge, the account had a follower count of 3,660,468. After the storm was over, its number of followers was hacked down to a slightly smaller number: eight.
That amounts to 99.9998 percent of its total followers and a difference of 3,660,460 people, or to look at it another way, more than the total number of people in Greater Manchester and Liverpool combined.
What does baby say?

12 Things Everyone Does Immediately When They're Home Alone
No one wants to be by themselves all the time, but there's just something magical that happens when everyone leaves and you have the house to yourself. You transform into someone else. The rules go out the window because you're the only one in charge now.

Your pants come off immediately. It doesn't matter what the temperature is because you will be 100% pants-free.

If you have to go outside for some reason, you're not putting on your good jeans. It'll either be sweat pants or some other super comfy yet somewhat humiliating pair of pants that you've had for a decade.

Any transition from one room to the next is done by dancing. You'll moonwalk, pop and lock, and shimmy anywhere in the house you need to go.

Eventually you're going to have to take a shower. The door will be open, you'll be singing at full volume, and it'll last at least 45 minutes because nobody else will be waiting on you to get done.

Every meal will be eaten out of its container and more than likely won't be consumed using any utensils. Basically you turn into a raccoon digging through trash.

When you're busy or with friends, your phone constantly blows up. If you get bored while you're home by yourself, your inbox becomes a desolate wasteland with no signs of human life or interaction.

You start having in-depth conversations with your pet. Every time he walks into the room you'll say something like, "Well look who it is!"

Every time you break a little house rule like washing your dish or not drinking out of the milk carton, you sing a little song about how you're the master of the house. It's ridiculous, but in the moment, it's fantastic.

Eventually you'll get really bored and start looking up useless instructional videos on YouTube, like how to win that peg game at Cracker Barrel.

Even if you have things that need to get done you'll convince yourself that an hour of playing video games won't be a problem. Four hours later you'll realize you wasted most of the day on Minecraft.

If you have a roommate, you're going to start snooping through their stuff. You aren't going to take anything or mess with it, but you just want to check things out.

As much as you enjoy your alone time, you'll end up texting your family or roommate something like, "Heyyyyyy! What are you up to? When are you coming back?" Just admit it, you miss them, don't you?
