Six Flags Great Adventure`s newest rollercoaster is no joke!

Do you love rollercoasters and are looking for the latest thrill? Well, one local amusement park has you covered. Six Flags Great Adventure located in New Jersey is debuting a new ride that is seriously no joke.  The name of this newest attraction is “The Joker”. “The Joker is undeniably one of the greatest DC Comics Super-Villains ever created. Only someone with his warped sense of humor could provide this level of insanity ─ or spinsanity ─ with a new, vertical coaster that delivers gravity-defying somersaults with utter unpredictability. It is the perfect addition to our dynamic line-up of award-winning roller coasters because this ride delivers total mayhem with its next-generation, cutting-edge thrills,” Six Flags Great Adventure President John Fitzgerald said in January. This intense rollercoaster is described as a 4-D, free-fly coaster that will allow riders to flip head-over-heels at least six times during the ride that features two “beyond 90-degree” drops. The 120-foot-tall ride is expected to open in the spring of 2016. Will you be daring enough to go on this ride?

Selena Gomez takes the television world by storm!

Selena Gomez takes the television world by storm!

Selena Gomez is currently on a mission to take over the entertainment world. In the past year alone, she has released an album, titled Revival which she will tour in just a few months, released her own perfume, and now she’s on to another part of the industry. She has officially announced that she will be producing her own television series. Her new series will debut on Freeform (formally ABC Family), and is described as a “Latina Empire”.

The show is to take place in a low income Latino neighborhood and is narrated by an 18-year-old. This 18- year- old is described as she is destined for greatness. The plot gets even more interesting because it is completely based on a true story. Selena`s co-producer Aaron Kaplan also added quite a bit of material to the plot. He initially got the idea after watching a Los Angeles High School student, named Ana Cobarrubias. She spoke at the Zimmer Children`s Museum Discovery Awards Dinner. Her speech touched on her determination to diminish society`s expectations for someone like herself. She not only inspired the crowd but received a standing ovation. Since she was an aspiring cinema studies student, she will serve as a consultant on this project. This highly anticipated series is currently looking for a writer and will have a release date within the next year.

“Fuller House” is about to become even more full!

“Fuller House” is about to become even more full!

“Fuller House” is about to become more full with the renewal of season two. This Netflix revival series is a spin-off of the original “Full House”.  It took 20 years to make this revival series possible but once it launched, it took only less than a week for the renewal of season two to be determined.

The current season of “Fuller House” is centered around the Tanner siblings. In this season since Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen who portrayed the character of Michelle have not signed on, their neighbor Kimmy Gibbler has replaced her. But that is not to say that Michelle will not return for season two. The Tanner siblings are all grown up and facing many different situations including DJ becoming a widow and raising three sons, Kimmy`s crazy roller coaster life including romance and divorce. And also including Stephanie and her pursuit to start a career as a DJ and singer while being one of the most entertaining aunts.

The way that season one leaves off is with open- ended episodes and several cliffhangers, which is the perfect way to introduce season two.  It is time for `90s fans to rejoice as your favorite family is back for another season full of puns, comical moments and the craziness of the Tanner household.

Ben and Jerry`s ice cream just got even more sweet!

Ben and Jerry`s ice cream just got even more sweet!

 

Just when you thought Ben and Jerry`s couldn’t get any sweeter they kick it to the next level. Just in time for the beautiful spring weather approaching, three new ice cream flavors are being launched.  Brownie Batter Core, Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Core, and Coconuts for Caramel Core are the newest additions to the Ben and Jerry`s ice cream selection.

These new flavors belong to the “Core” series. Which take ice cream to the next level by having a center made of pure deliciousness. If you’re not familiar, it is usually caramel or fudge or whatever best pairs with the ice cream flavor.

Now back to these three amazing new flavors! If you are the kind of person who always finds yourself sneaking the extra brownie batter from the bowl, then Brownie Batter Core is perfect for you. This pint is filled with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, brownie chunks and wait for it…. unbaked brownie batter as the core. The next flavor is perfect for the type of person who loves both cheesecake and cookies and crème but doesn’t always have a cheesecake around when the craving hits. The Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Core is the perfect treat to keep in your freezer for that craving and whenever it hits. The last flavor will leave you anxiously waiting for long summer days with the mix of caramel and sweet cream ice cream, fudge flakes and a caramel core. Since it is not quite summer yet, this sweet treat is the perfect substitution.

Ice cream season is officially here and what better way than to kick it off with some new exciting ice cream flavors. Now that you know the inside scoop on these flavors, the hardest part is picking which one to try first.

To unlock or not unlock, that is the question!

To unlock or not unlock, that is the question!

How would you feel if your iPhone was unlocked? It would probably make you feel like your privacy was invaded. But would you feel differently if the protection of privacy rights were revoked due to the safety of the general public? This is currently one of the issues occurring between Apple and the United States government.  This debate has occurred on other occasions but is being brought to the service one more time. This time in response to the San Bernardino families request. The incident that occurred in California was at the Inland Regional Center on December 2nd, 2015. At this time there was an office party going on and 14 people were killed due to a terror attack involving the spraying of gunfire. Mark Sandefeur is one of the victim`s father and he is not giving in on this ongoing battle.

There are many ways to look at this issue but what it comes down to is, the decision to unlock a deceased terrorists phone or keep it locked due to privacy laws. One way of looking at this current issue is that there may be content in the phone that can lead to new information such as contacts and even other planned events.  “Recovery of information from the iPhone in question may not lead to anything new. But, what if there is evidence pointing to a third shooter? What if it leads to an unknown terrorist cell?”  This was stated by Sandefur in a letter to Apple’s chief executive. Mark Sandefeur is not the only one acting against this issue, there has been several attempts at getting the FBI to join with Apple to prevent these tragedies. Since this is such an in-depth issue, this debate is still on going.

The other way that this is being looked at is if this phone is unlocked then where does it stop? Since it is technically an invasion of privacy, once it is done once then who knows where it will stop.

Although both sides have several valid points, what side do you take? How would you feel if your phone was invaded? Or do you feel it is different since it is a safety issue?
