New York City

Loving this terrarium table filled with plants:

Jimmy Fallon is taking the phrase "shout it from the rooftops" quite literally. In a clip that aired during Tuesday night's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the NBC host climbs to the top of a New York City crest to let off some steam. Naturally, yodeling ensues. SEE ALSO: Jimmy Fallon Battles for Iron Desk in 'Game of Thrones' Parody To his surprise, Fallon hears another yodel from across the city. It's not an echo — it's a fellow crooner on a nearby perch, none other than Brad Pitt. Fallon engages in a brief yodel conversation (subtitled, for our convenience) with the World War Z star, and the two agree to try something that's "never been done before" — a double yodel.

The Los Angeles Unified School District is redirecting US$30 million of its budget to provide roughly 35,000 iPads to 47 district schools, the Los Angeles Times reports. Because the devices will come pre-loaded with educational software, the price per unit clocks in at a hefty $678. LAUSD is the nation's second-largest school district with nearly 695,000 students as of data released in 2009, only surpassed by the New York City Department of Education with more than 1 million students. The LATimes says that the actual benefits to Apple will actually be in the hundreds of millions of dollars during the two-year contract. LAUSD's superintendent John Deasy appeared in a video as part of Apple's textbook event in New York City in 2012, which was the launch of iBooks Author and iTunes U.

Superproducer Mike Dean, who has worked extensively with Kanye West both in the past and on West’s new album Yeezus, took to Reddit yesterday for an AMA (Ask Me Anything), where he offered details on Kanye’s next moves since dropping the most highly-anticipated album of the year so far. Dean—who is also well-known as a producer for much of the early-to-mid-1990s Houston hip-hop sound pioneered by UGK and Scarface, among others—was asked about Yeezy’s recent headlining performance at Governors Ball in New York City, and when prompted about a potential tour for Yeezus, he confirmed that one was in the works and that he would be a part of Kanye’s performance crew. Yeezy has turned in a handful of performances of his new material, most notably at Gov Ball and on a recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” where he premiered both “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead” from the new album. Yeezus dropped yesterday.

JunkFoodGuy - As soon as I bit into one of these Limited Edition Watermelon Golden Oreos, I got an immediate light watermelon taste.  I’ll just say it right off the bat….I liked these.  A LOT.  These DIDN’T overwhelm me with artificial (well, overly artificial) watermelon flavor.  Instead the immediate taste I got was a watermelon taste that tasted like, frankly, it had been blended with creme. So imagine a watermelon ice cream, emphasis on the cream.  Light and refreshing – sort of reminded me of  these old school watermelon ice cream cakes I’ve had in the past that looked like this. The Golden Oreo added a nice buttery sweetness to the whole thing. I am, frankly, SHOCKED.  These were good, REALLY good.  They didn’t have the overbearing sweetness that the Candy Corn Oreos or the Blizzard Oreos or even the Birthday Cake Oreos had.  No, these were subtle in flavor, with just enough watermelon to make me smile.  GOOD WORK, OREO. Listen this JunkFood guy did a pretty good job explaining that these cookies were surprisingly tasty. Sounds like he’s as skeptical as I am of this unholy concoction but ended up liking them a lot. But thats the difference between me and this JunkFoodGuy apparently. I’m just a natural, genuine junk food guy. I don’t need to make it my name and start a blog about my trials and tribulations of eating like shit. I’m a man of junk food principal and junk food integrity and thats why you’ll never see me taste testing these piece of shit watermelon sandwich cookies. This abomination is a direct slap in the face to a good, pure, and natural Double Stuf Oreo. When they invented the golden vanilla ones I thought they took it too far, but even I’ll admit those are actually pretty tasty. I still don’t even eat those though – again, just straight principal. Bottom line is if you’re at the store and plain Double Stuf Oreos and Watermelon Oreos are staring you in the face and you select Watermelon, you need to be deported. Kicked right out of the goddam country. Its just not right. All thats left is to make a Fried Chicken Oreo and they’ll have their whole demographic cornered.

The debut full-length Don't Stop Believin'-soundtracked trailer is now here, and shows the news team donning dope fur collars and working at a 24-hour news channel in Manhattan, where Ron is doing what "God put [him] on this Earth to do: have salon-quality hair and read the news."
