    Kanye West's Twitter review of 'Pacific Rim'

    Kanye West isn?t what you?d call an active member of the Twitterverse. Even though he?s racked up nearly 10 million Twitter followers, he?s following just one person -- any guesses? (If you answered Kim Kardashian, you win. Perhaps he?ll make it two as soon as their new baby, North West, registers for his own Twitter account.)

    He?s also sent only nine tweets ? dating back only as far as May 17, pretty much using the social networking service to build anticipation for his latest album, ?Yeezus,? ahead of its June 18 release.

    West did send one post after the album dropped to let followers in on a gift he received for his first Father?s Day, just nine days after North was born June 15. He tweeted a photo of two autographed Apple computer mouses, one signed ?Woz? for Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, the other ?Steve Jobs,? by Woz?s partner in the historic computer startup.

    PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times

    West?s two latest tweets, however, make it appear that the rapper may be laying the groundwork for a secondary career as a film critic.

    ?I saw a pre-screening of Pacific Rim yesterday,? West tweeted Wednesday of the new Guillermo del Toro action movie due out July 16.

    His assessment? ?It's easily one of my favorite movies of all time.?

    But that?s not all, folks. ?This is not another ?Robot? movie,? he said in a follow-up Twitter post. ?Guillermo del Toro is a master.?

    Pop & Hiss can?t wait to find out what he thinks about Jamie Foxx?s performance in ?White House Down.?

    Premonitions About Death and Dying | Angel Messenger

    This is an excerpt from Fawn?s upcoming book, ?Soul Purpose?.

    You are always creating your own reality through free will, and many potential futures exist which are based on choices you make right now. If you are not yet able to consciously tune in and read energy this doesn?t mean that you are not gifted enough to ever do so. Reading energy is your soul?s birthright and can be learned just as learning to read a book can be learned.

    The most fascinating kind of premonitions are obviously ones about death and dying because death is universal, intensely emotional, inevitable and unknown. There are hundreds of religious beliefs and rituals, which have cropped up over the ages, because of Death.

    When someone is about die, energy shifts in subtle ways which allow the dying, their loved ones, and those who are spiritually sensitive, to sense what is happening. Often spirit contact occurs during sleep, as is the case of Chuck who was on an organ donor list in Jacksonville, Florida. He and his wife were waiting for news from Mayo Clinic that a liver donor was available when they experienced something extraordinary one night. The following is his wife?s account:

    At approximately 3:00 am, I woke up to the horrible sound of tires screeching on pavement and then a loud ?thud? as if the vehicle had made impact with another object. I jumped out of bed which caused my husband to jump up too, asking why. He didn?t hear the screeching like I had. As I was heading for the front door, I told him that I had heard a bad car crash so he followed me out. I stood there in my yard, in my pajamas and looked both ways up and down our street. There was nothing. Everything was still and quiet except for frogs croaking. I couldn?t believe it. I went back into the house and tried to go back to bed but it was still bothering me about what I?d heard. My husband suggested we drive around the neighborhood and out on the highway to see if there had been an accident. We drove around the block, up and down each street, and out on the highway, both ways. There was no accident! However, we got a call early that day from Mayo Clinic announcing a compatible liver for Chuck was available. I began to wonder if his donor died in the car accident I had heard but not seen.

    Her auditory crash experience may be a coincidence, but more likely it was a spiritual message from the organ donor. If, when we die, there is an experience of karmic ?cause and effect?, the liver donor may have been spiritually connected to Chuck and the gift of his organ divinely planned.

    Entering Eden, Premonitions About Death & DyingAlthough we may not know the true spiritual meaning of prophetic dreams and premonitions, the fact is, they happen frequently and to many people. There is something within us that can be triggered to have a psychic experience which is innately part of our energetic design, and very real.

    Everything is connected and everything is affected by conscious, vibrating, ever learning and expanding energy. Native Americans refer to this energy connection as a Great Web of Life. Albert Einstein describes energy as neither being created nor destroyed, but simply changing from one form to another.

    This concept has sound scientific basis in quantum physics, and studies by David Bohm, a physicist who conducted plasma experiments at Berkeley Radiation Lab, show two very significant facts: First, the smallest known atomic particle, an electron, is either a wave or a particle depending on how it is observed, meaning that matter and energy are one in the same at a microscopic level and appear as interchanging, vibrating waves and particles. Secondly, his studies found that all matter continue to affect one another long after they have connected, no matter where they are.

    Brohm?s Wave/Particle Theory demonstrates how all fragments of matter continue to affect one another long after a connection; therefore, every choice to act and react has potential to create a powerful effect over a broad range of space and time, much like a ?ripple effect?, as when a stone falls into still water and expands outward into larger circles on a lake. Quantum Physics suggests that time may not be linear as perceived, but in fact happening all at once, past present and future in a continuum. Energy tends to create a circular rhythm, so if one imagines time as a circle than visions of future events begin to make sense.

    Premonitions offer a peek into potential futures based on the current path taken, and they reveal the next big fork in the road we are about to approach.

    Spontaneous premonitions about death are common to many, and offer a loved one who is fortunate enough to experience one, evidence of meaning regarding their deeply emotional loss in an otherwise, seemingly, chaotic universe.

    Steve Bramschreiber shares a dream premonition about the death of his sister,

    The last night my wife and I were in Las Vegas, I had a most vivid nightmare which unfortunately came true. I saw my older sister?s death and funeral right down to the type of casket she was buried in. On Christmas Day 2004 at 3am this became reality. She had been fighting cancer for a year and gone into remission, so we thought. But it came back with a vengeance. I relayed this experience to mom and she said, ?You have death visions, just like your grandfather.? Mom says that certain members of our family have been given a gift like this.

    Death premonitions do tend to run in families, and my acquaintance, Karen Wood offers another perspective through the experiences of close family members who announced their own deaths:

    My father had a twin sister they called May who died when she was 4 years old. One day out on her swing, she told my father she was going on a goodbye journey soon. She died unexpectedly the following week. I also had a 7 year old cousin who told her mother she was leaving on a final trip one week before she died. They were treating her for ADD when actually she had a huge hole in her heart which doctors didn?t know about until her autopsy. My own father was dying from cancer. He carried on conversations with deceased friends wanting him to come with them the day and night before he died. He was on very low doses of meds. He knew who I was, and on his death bed even told my son how to remove a transmission from a car the right and easy way. He didn?t seem to be coming and going like you think someone would who talks normally and then seems to be somewhere else. He was alert and oriented to person place and time, and yet he talked as though these deceased people were there and we all should see them too.

    Premonitions come in many forms as can be shown from these examples. The car crash was a wake-up call which had a powerful effect on the man and his wife prior to getting the call about the organ being available. Steve dreamed about his sister and was aware at some level that her time was coming soon, and the two different children who announced their pending ?death? journeys brought a sense of meaning, closure and comfort to their family, who otherwise may have lived with immense guilt and regret for not somehow preventing their deaths in advance. Karen?s father just slipped into a ?knowing? of his pending death, and began to live in both dimensions just prior to crossing over similar to a lady in this last example, cared for by Karen at a rehabilitation center during high school:

    The morning I took her a breakfast roll and coffee, she told me she was going home that day. I didn?t know anything about it, and told her I would check at the nurses? desk and then help pack her things. She smiled and said ?Thank you honey, I would appreciate that.? When I went to pick up her tray, she was as I left her, sitting up with her eyes closed. I thought she was sleeping, but as I moved closer, she didn?t seem to be breathing. So I checked her and discovered no blood pressure. I called in a nurse who verified she was dead. She had to have died shortly after I left her room, and I was gone only thirty minutes. She hadn?t touched her tray, and her coffee was still warm. She went home, but not to the home I thought she meant. I told a nurse what she?d said, and the nurse told me that it?s common in hospitals and nursing homes for patients to talk about leaving and going home before they die.

    I would love for readers to share experiences known or told to them.? Please feel free to share in the comments below.

    May the light of your soul guide you?and bless the work that you do!

    Namaste?

    Love Fawn

    (AP) ? South America's leftist leaders rallied to support Bolivian President Evo Morales after his plane was rerouted amid suspicions that NSA leaker Edward Snowden was on board and demanded an apology from France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.

    The presidents of Argentina, Ecuador, Suriname, Venezuela and Uruguay joined Morales in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba late Thursday to address the diplomatic row. Morales used the gathering to warn that he would close the U.S. Embassy in Bolivia if necessary.

    Morales again blamed Washington for pressuring European countries to refuse to allow his plane to fly through their airspace on Tuesday, forcing it to land in Vienna, Austria, in what he called a violation of international law. He had been returning from a summit in Russia during which he had suggested he would be willing to consider a request from Snowden for asylum.

    Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said Friday that his nation and other European countries were told Snowden was aboard the Bolivian presidential plane.

    The minister did not say who supplied the information and declined to say whether he had been in contact with the United States. But he said European countries' reactions were based on this information. Garcia-Margallo insisted earlier that Spain did not prevent Morales' plane from landing in its territory.

    Latin American leaders were outraged by the incident, calling it a violation of national sovereignty and a slap in the face for a region that has suffered through humiliations by Europe and several U.S.-backed military coups.

    "United we will defeat American imperialism. We met with the leaders of my party and they asked us for several measures and if necessary, we will close the embassy of the United States," Morales said in the city where he started his political career as a leader of coca leaf farmers. "We do not need the embassy of the United States."

    Morales' government has had a conflictive relationship with Washington.

    It expelled the U.S. ambassador and agents of the U.S. Drug Enforc+ement Administration in 2008 for allegedly inciting the opposition. The Andean nation restored full diplomatic ties with the U.S. in 2011. But relations soured again amid mutual distrust on drug war politics and hit an especially low point after Secretary of State John Kerry referred to Latin America as Washington's "backyard" in April 2013.

    Morales expelled the U.S. Agency for International Development in May for allegedly seeking to undermine his government.

    In a joint statement read after the summit, the presidents also said they would back Bolivia's official complaint with the U.N. Human Rights Commission

    Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said that he and other leaders were offering full support to Morales following the rerouting of the plane, calling it an aggression against the Americas.

    "We're not going to accept that in the 21st century there's first, second and third rate countries," Correa said.

    "The leaders and authorities in Europe have to take a lesson in history and understand that we're not 500 years behind. This Latin America of the 21st century is independent, dignified and sovereign."

    Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro protested alleged attempts by Spanish officials to search the Bolivian presidential plane and accused the CIA of encouraging several European countries to deny the presidential plane their airspace.

    "A minster of one of those European governments told me personally that it was the CIA who gave the order to the aeronautical authorities, the one who gave the alert that Snowden was on the plane," he said at a rally at a sports arena ahead of the summit. "The CIA is more powerful that governments."

    Argentine President Cristina Fernandez said Latin Americans treasured freedom after fighting for their independence from Europe in the 19th century and then surviving Washington's 20th-century history of backing repressive regimes in the Americas.

    She then demanded an apology for the plane ordeal.

    "I'm asking those who violated the law in calm but serious manner, to take responsibility for the errors made, it's the least they can do," Fernandez said. "To apologize for once in their life, to say they're sorry for what they've done."

    Morales has said that while the plane was parked in Vienna, the Spanish ambassador to Austria arrived with two embassy personnel and they asked to search the plane. He said he denied them permission.

    Morales received a hero's welcome in an airport in the Bolivian capital of La Paz late Wednesday night. His return followed the dramatic, unplanned 14-hour layover in Vienna.

    Ahead of the meeting, Morales said that his ordeal was part of a plot by the U.S. to intimidate him and other Latin American leaders and urged European nations to "free themselves" from the U.S.

    France sent an apology to the Bolivian government. But Morales said "apologies are not enough because the stance is that international treaties must be respected."

    Amid the tensions, the U.S. embassy in La Paz cancelled Independence Day celebrations scheduled for Thursday. In the eastern city of Santa Cruz, Bolivian government sympathizers painted protest slogans on the doors of the American consulate.

    Morales said he never saw Snowden when he was in Russia, and that Bolivia had not received a formal request for asylum for him.

    Bolivia has said that it will summon the French and Italian ambassadors and the Portuguese consul to demand explanations.

    Despite the complaints, there were no signs that Latin America leaders were moving to bring Snowden to the region that had been seen as the most likely to grant him asylum.

    Although Latin American presidents sympathized with Morales and condemned his ordeal, several key regional leaders missed the summit.

    Brazil was represented at the meeting by President Dilma Rousseff's top international adviser but Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota missed the summit because he is attending meetings in Europe.

    The presidents of Colombia, Chile and Peru, who have strong ties to the U.S., did not attend.

    It's still unclear whether European countries did block the plane and, if so, why. French, Spanish and Portuguese officials have all said the plane was allowed to cross their territory.

    The emergency stop in Austria may have been caused by a row over where the plane could refuel and whether European authorities could inspect it for signs of Snowden.

    The U.S. has declined to comment on whether it was involved in any decision to close European airspace, saying only that "US officials have been in touch with a broad range of countries over the course of the last 10 days," about the Snowden case.

    "The message has been communicated both publicly and privately," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday. "He should be returned to the United States."

    Snowden remains out of public view, believed to be stuck in a Moscow airport transit area, seeking asylum from one of more than a dozen countries.

    Why Roller Coasters Make You Vomit and Scream

    Ever wonder why roller coasters can make even the strongest of stomachs feel like they're turning inside out?
