After setting sail with Train on its cruise and performing with Pat Monahan, my buddy Marc Scibilia dropped a new music video for his single “Summer Clothes.” He wrote the song back in our hometown of Buffalo. The video pays homage to old Americana and Western New York using stock footage and home videos from the Scibilia family. Marc even snuck in a few Snapchat-inspired clips as well to give the piece something that almost anyone could relate to; kind of like the song’s message.
“My dad, every couple weeks when I first moved to Nashville would always call me,” the singer/songwriter recalled. “We would talk for 20 minutes; just catch up. And he’d end every conversation with, ‘Hey, one more time, what’s your address?’”
Scibilia found this funny because his dad never sent him mail. After reflecting on it, he also found a song because of it.
“So I unfolded this song that’s kind of about my family, kind of about my hometown but it’s really about someone that really wants to call someone and just has an excuse like, ‘Hey, I just called to send you something,’ but they just want to talk because they miss the person.”
The family will get to see Marc in action when he brings his “Summer Clothes” tour to Buffalo. It’s his first headlining trek, and it kicks off on April 13 in New York City’s Mercury Lounge.
For day three of our broadcast with Westwood One Backstage at The 59th GRAMMYs we chatted with a bunch of current and former nominees while also speaking with a few friends-of-the-show. It was great to see Train’s Pat Monahan and Gavin DeGraw. I also interviewed Lukas Graham for the second time; the first time was at The GRAMMYs last year and now they’re up for three awards including Record and Song Of The Year, plus they’ll perform with Kelsea Ballerini. Noah Cyrus stopped by and compared me to her dad, LeAnn Rimes remembered her big GRAMMY wins from 20 years ago and Charli XCX explained how she chooses to collaborate with people before I brought up Selena Gomez to her.
This is my second-to-last “2 Slices & A Story” for season one and this episode is sentimental. I thought of the concept for this series on a random Saturday afternoon in the city over lunch with Marc Scibilia (ironically we were not eating pizza; he brought me to this great spot downtown called Cafe Habana). Marc and I were talking about each other’s respective careers and kind of going through an impromptu brainstorming session when I started hashing out the idea for something like this.
It was only a few weeks later when we filmed the first one with the great David Cook.
Of course if anyone knows pizza, it’s someone like Marc who like me, grew up in Western New York. So I’m glad that during his tour with Jon Mclaughlin he was able to swing by and tape this.
Friend-of-the-show Marc Scibilia stopped by to talk about the endless tour he’s on with some amazing tourmates, from Gavin DeGraw and Andy Grammer to Michael Franti and Jon McLaughlin. Scibilia also talked about working with Jacob Whitesides and preparing to record new music later this year.
Andy Grammer needed to figure out how he was going to follow up 2014’s “Magazines or Novels,” his sophomore album which included his biggest hit to date, “Honey I’m Good.” So he decided to try out a new approach.
“Coming off the last two singles (also ‘Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah)’) which were both pretty up-tempo, high energy… there was no higher to go,” Grammer explained on my radio show over the phone. “You can’t throw more of the kitchen sink in to a song.
“This one is my first single that I feel like lets the audience come to me a little bit. I’m really excited about it.”
“Fresh Eyes” serves as the first single from Grammer’s forthcoming third studio LP and sonically reflects his west coast home more than his east coast roots. The song is super laid back and Grammer’s voice doesn’t jump many octaves as he sings about a stranger that he is smitten for.
The track is certainly a departure from “Honey” but almost literally a product of it; Grammer’s gift to himself after the success of his second album was baby blue electric guitar.
“It’s my first (single) that I’ve done mostly on electric guitar,” he revealed. “I went in (a store) and picked up every guitar and amp for like, four hours and I left with this baby blue nucleus for my third album.”
If you’re checking out Grammer on tour this year, you’ll get a chance to see the axe in person. He plans on bringing the instrument out for his supporting gig with Train followed by his co-headlining jaunt with Gavin DeGraw. Of course, Train recently covered the “Led Zeppelin II” album, donating proceeds from sales to a charity that benefits kids fighting cancer. So if Grammer were to pick one act to offer the cover treatment to, who would it be?
“I think it would be dope to re-do an old Billy Joel album,” he replied, also noting that he doesn’t know the Piano Man (although his tour mate DeGraw has served as Joel’s opening act on a regular basis. “I guess I’d have to make the album first and then reach out.”
Besides his upcoming tours, Grammer will be spending the rest of the year working on his own project though. The “Keep Your Head Up” singer is bringing an extra tour bus on the road with him so he can continue to create the album. Grammer hopes that the LP drops after the first of the year.
“That’s what’s so fun about this game is that everything just keeps being new,” he said. “When you do one thing that works, like it’s done. Your brain has to come up with something different. That’s the whole artistic thing. It’s been completely fun and reinvigorating on this album to be doing something totally different.”
As Grammer tours the country and continues to work on his new album, he’ll also have the chance to find out if his fans feel the same way.
My Thanksgiving tradition: Waking up early, walking a few blocks to Central Park West, chatting with some friends who are performing in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and snapping a few photos and videos the floats.
A big thanks to Macy’s along with Rachel Platten, Pat Monahan, Brendon Urie, Questlove, Shawn Mendes, Prince Royce, Trey Songz and Spongebob Squarepants.
In an interview taped prior to the release of Train’s seventh studio album “Bulletproof Picasso,” Pat Monahan and Jimmy Stafford sat down in the MLB Fan Cave for MLB.com to chat with me about the band’s new music and love for San Francisco and its Giants.
The audio portion of this interview aired on “Ralphie Tonight” following the Giants’ series win over the Nationals to advance to the NLCS. To watch the interview and Train’s MLB Fan Cave Concert, click here.
Gavin DeGraw does not take the job of naming his albums lightly.
“It’s funny because when you go through and you try to figure out what to name an album… I was going through going ‘Maybe I’ll go through and I’ll pick a song title to name the album after yunno?’” said DeGraw of the initial thought process behind Make A Move. “You start seeing how one song title might be misinterpreted as an album title; how it could go all wrong.”
The “Chariot” singer mentioned the song “Leading Man,” and how he felt it was a cool song title but would’ve sounded “totally douche-y” as the name of the LP.
“I thought Make A Move was a good choice,” DeGraw said of his eventual selection. “It was the type of thing that couldn’t necessarily be misinterpreted too poorly.”
The release marks the artist’s fifth studio album and first since 2011’s Sweeter, which spawned the hit “Not Over You.” The lead single “Best I Ever Had” certainly sets the tone for a different sound of DeGraw’s.
“This is definitely a step towards another direction,” DeGraw admitted. “There are songs on this album that I think are reflective of Chariot, but at the same time there are other songs on this album that really do feel almost as if it’s a completely different artist, which is something I’m really proud of.”
But outside of the studio, the singer is still pretty easy-going and down for a good laugh. He revealed that Michael Franti was joking about his “soccer skills” on “The Ralphie Show” because DeGraw is the type of guy “who kind of likes to walk in to the group when people are kicking a ball around and grab it and just punt it as far as I can.”
The move itself could have been left open to misinterpretation but both DeGraw and Franti seemed to enjoy chatting about it, and meeting each other for the first time while supporting Train on the road.
Michael Franti is known to his fan base for his philanthropy and philosophy as much as his music. Franti might be the last artist that you would think to hear shout out Jay Z and Beyonce in a song. But, the San Francisco singer does just that on the track “I’m Alive (Life Sounds Like).” The gesture took at least one fan by surprise.
“(The fan) was coming at it from this political angle,” recalled Franti during an interview that aired Monday night on “The Ralphie Show.” “I was like, ‘Should I shout out like (Vladimir) Putin and (Bashar al-) Assad?’”
Franti does not believe that name-checking the presidents of Russia and Syria would have been more appropriate. Rather, the singer attempted to use the situation to dispel a misnomer about him and his music.
“I write songs about every aspect of life,” he explained. “Politics is one of them. I care about what’s happening in the world as much as I always have. Not every day, do I wake up in the morning and turn on CNN or whatever and follow the 24 hour news cycle. I get up like everybody else. I make breakfast for my son and I get him to school and I pick him up afterwards. I want to make music that goes for people’s 24 hour life cycle, not just the 24 hour news cycle.”
Without directly addressing it, Franti perhaps also fully explained the title of his band’s latest LP, All People. The group released the album in July and promoted it while touring with Train and Gavin DeGraw. Franti has a massive amount of respect for Pat Monahan and his band, who the “Say Hey” singer first met over 15 years ago back in San Francisco. The trek was Franti’s first encounter with DeGraw.
“Gavin is an awesome guy; horrible soccer player, he’s the worst soccer player, but he’s an incredible guy,” joked Franti. “He’s pretty athletic, it’s just soccer is not one of his things.”
We’ll refrain from the puns we could drop about Gavin not being able to “Follow Thru” on the field or noting that we “Don’t Wanna Be” stuck on his team. Instead, note that Franti and Spearhead will tour up until the holidays, and are also enlisting the help of Monahan and others for a new foundation called, “Do It For The Love.” Franti and his partner Sara started the organization to help send people with advanced stages of life threatening illnesses, kids with disabilities, and wounded veterans to see some of their favorite artists live. More info is available here.
The band Train takes its “Mermaids of Alcatraz” tour to Dallas this weekend. Pat Monahan was looking forward to hanging out with two old friends: Columbia Records EVP Lee Leipsner and radio host Kidd Kraddick.
But the beloved host of “Kidd Kraddick In The Morning” died over the weekend at the age of 53. Monahan, along with his band mates Scott Underwood and Jimmy Stafford, were saddened by the news.
“Kidd has been a big supporter of Train for our whole career,” Monahan noted in an interview which aired Monday evening on “The Ralphie Show.” “He’s been in this business a lot longer than we have.”
The timing of Kraddick’s passing hurt Monahan even more.
“Any loss is sad, but to know you were moments away from seeing an old friend, and now you can’t,” the lead singer said. “Our hearts go out to his family.”
Leipsner told All Access that the band will pay tribute to Kraddick on Saturday at the Gexa Energy Pavilion. Train is currently playing outdoor venues with The Script and Gavin DeGraw in tow. Also sharing the stage with the San Francisco-based artists is country singer/songwriter Ashley Monroe. The songstress is featured on the next single from California 37, “Bruises.”
“We asked (Ashley) two years ago to sing ‘Bruises’ with us,” Monahan revealed. “We didn’t know if (95.5 PLJ) and stations like that around the United States would embrace a country artist.”
So far, so good. The “Hey, Soul Sister,” singer is pleasantly surprised.
“It’s our favorite song on the record,” he said. “The fact that people are responding to it the way that they are… it’s a great ending to this album cycle.”
With that, Monahan also breaks the news that this fourth single from the LP will likely be the last. Train’s proper tour ends in mid-August. The band will play a handful of fairs and festivals through September 1, and then gear up for the “Sail Across The Sun Cruise” next February.


I was listening to the Tech News Today podcast and at the 25 minute mark of episode 14 they said something about RIM that almost made me fall over. Before I get into the story let me set the back drop.
Back in June 2009 RIM acquired a company called Dash Navigation. Dash had one great feature… The ability to update traffic patterns based on information aggregated from all Dash Navigation devices. As you were driving the Dash navigation unit would report back your traffic speed and GPS location allowing other Dash users to get real-time traffic information based on info from all other Dash users.

Call 4 Action Update - Woman Gets Deposit
Sat, 13 Nov 2010 00:36:12 GMT —
Teresa Esparza claims she never moved into an apartment where she planned to live because of her landlord promised her a stove that was never delivered.
The Harlingen woman turned to Action 4 News after she lost her deposit.
The landlord claims he never signed a document saying he was supposed to provide the stove.
Action 4 News obtained a document, that states the Landlord would provide the stove.
Confronted by this, Arturo Benavides claims he originally signed a blank document and that the tenant, Teresa Esparza filled in the blanks after he was gone.
Action 4 News contacted the Housing Authority, and they tell Action 4 News, that normally a landlord fills out the paperwork and then signs it.
Rather than disputing over a document, Benavides handed over a $400 check for Teresa as a sign of good will.
I wanted to help her even though I didn TMt have to," he said. "But I wanted to do this out of my heart."
Esparza took the check delivered by Action 4 News and says she can now move on.
Both parties say they have learned their lesson and are glad this is ending peacefully.

This month, new and old iPhone users met in Dolores Park, San Francisco to participate in a world wide Instagram photowalk, where they discussed the concept of the overnight photographer—or “Instaphotographer”.Featuring an interview with @IGERSSF manager, Laura Powell @lpow88
I have been thinking about how I could share video and this app is the perfect solution. In the example below, I started with a well lit area that had a clearly definable area of movement. I filmed the entire flush and then chose the three second portion that I wanted to feature.
Decim8: Digitally Destroy Your Photos (App Review)
Are you tired of using apps and filters that make your photos look vintage and dated? Decim8, based on algorythims that digitally destroy your photos, is the perfect photo manipulating app for you.
This app took me a while to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, I was addicted. To use it, you upload a photo and select the filters you want to use. I would suggest using the randomize feature at first until you get familiar with the different effects. The effect will apply once you hit randomize.
With Decim8, every photo is unique. Once you apply an effect, save the photo if you like it, because you may not be able to recreate it again. I like to save photos that I am on the fence about just incase I change my mind along the way.
Below is one of the photos I recently shot and manipulated with Decim8. I prefer effects that keep the image sharp, but add color or mirror images. Other effects will completely pixilate your image beyond recognition. It all depends on what look you are going for. It usually takes some trial and error before you get the look you want. Once you find it however, you will have a unique image that you can share on Instagram.
You can download Decim8 for $0.99 in the iTunes app store. If you like to keep your photos traditional, this app may not be for you. If you are looking for an innovative, unique, digitilized look, definitely give Decmi8 a try.
Slow Shutter Cam: Making Light Trails (App Review)
Several months ago, I noticed some great night shots with beautiful trails of light and focused backgrounds in my Instagram feed. I asked my go-to iPhone photography expert, David Baer, what app could be used to create the same effect. He suggested an app for the iPhone called Slow Shutter Cam.
I downloaded it on iTunes for $0.99 and have finally gotten around to using it. The first few times I tried it, my pictures were horrible, mostly because I didn’t really understand the settings and what environments to shoot in. After experimenting more, I found that my favorite settings for night time shots were:
Capture mode: Light trail
Shutter speed: 15 (the amount of time the camera’s shutter is open, collecting light)
These settings allowed me to create colorful trails of light that I could adjust to my liking. The photos shown in this blog were taken at a concert at 1015 night club in San Francisco. It was extremely dark, but the light dancers were easily visible. I braced my camera against the bar counter (you need to stay as still as possible when using this app) and shot until the light filled an appropriate portion of the frame. This app is awesome because you see a preview of what the photo will look like. By setting the shutter speed to 15, I can have plenty of time to obtain the effect I am looking for, then manually stop the shutter with the press of a button.
I tried it a few more times with different dancers and was very pleased with my results. The combination of light, color and motion worked perfectly for those settings. I am still trying to take some interesting day shots, but I haven’t shot anything I like yet. Here are a few other highlights of the app.
This semester at SFSU, I am taking a photojournalism class. Our first day, my professor told us that if we are late, the door will be lock and we will not be let in until the break. Since then, my classmates and I have been peeing our pants trying to find stories, edit them before deadline and make it to class in time to avoid the dreaded locked door.
I wanted to make sure that I was ahead of the game, so I took the camera out to the Chinese New Year Parade in Union Square. Luckily, I brought my press pass and was able to get a spot with great lighting and plenty of room for me to set up the tripod.
After fidgeting with the camera for 30 minutes, I finally got situated and started rolling. I quickly realized that the camera was set to manual focus—all of my footage was coming out blurry. I switched it to auto focus just in time to get some great shots before the parade ended. Check out my video and feel free to post what you think about it. I am still learning and appreciate feedback. I will keep posting new assignments as I turn them in.
This weekend, I attended the World Wide Instameet. The San Francisco meetup started in Dolores Park in the Mission District. Several Instawalkers were chatting about what this change will mean for the world of mobile photography.
Laura Powell, manager of the San Francisco branch of Instagram (@igerssf), believes that using Instagram on Androids could lead to a drop in photo quality. If people are using different phone models, she said, the photos will be less uniform.
According to CNET.com, the iPhone is rated as the best camera phone on the market—several Instagram users agree. Rated fourth is an Android powered phone, the HTC Amaze 4G. The HTC features an 8 mega pixel camera and 1080p HD video capability. The iPhone 4S, the most recent version released from Apple, features the same video and photo specs.
The app should be available soon, but no specific release date was given.
I met Andrew last Friday night (3/2/12) near Grant and Green in San Francisco’s North Beach district. I saw him yo-yoing from afar and quickly realized he was quite good! The video is a little shaky, but I think you get the point.

I’m running into a problem where when I open the app and tap on a camera it says device is off. I keep having to do this repeatedly and then it will say exit the app and retry. still won’t turn on camera. I am up to date on software and app. Anyone else having this problem?
I got this on a couple of my cameras. I had to do a couple of things. I updated the firmware on one camera. Another camera I had to unplug and replug. I also had interference from another network and working with Support set my AP to a difference channel.
You can try power cycling the camera. Or, even though it says it’s off, tap the gear icon and then Restart Device. See if that gets it live again.
I unplugged the camera waited about 30 sec and plugged it back in. I waited for it to reset itself then I logged back into the app and it was working again. I don’t know if that is same thing as power cycling but it worked. Thanks for the replies.


More on Budget
Rep. Reid Ribble has drafted legislation he says could break the stalemate between Congress and the White House over $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that are set to take effect on Friday.
Fair or not, the president owns this mess. What can he do about it? For starters, he could read this op-ed piece published two months ago in a Midwestern newspaper. With a few tweaks, Obama could make it a presidential address. The author, whose identity I will disclose later, laid out a case for the then-looming “fiscal cliff.” It is still applicable, even powerful.
To pass a budget and earn their paychecks, your elected representatives will have no choice but to reach across the aisle, strive for compromise and consensus and ultimately come together in ways we haven’t for a very long time. In this context, the measure is as much about straightening our national politics as it is about straightening our national pocketbook.
Ribble has shown that he is exploring different avenues to get beyond the partisan bickering in Congress. He is a founding member of Problem Solvers with the bipartisan group No Labels, which aims to move politics toward problem-solving and find some common ground.

Man tasered when crowds gather after teen shooting in Lower Clapton
A teenager’s shooting sparked a tense stand-off between police and an angry mob in which a youth was tasered on Sunday night (Sept 25).
Police were called to the Clapton Park Estate just before 8.30pm after they received reports of “several” gunshots being fired in Gilpin Square.
Officers and ambulance crews arrived to find a 19-year-old man suffering from a “non life-threatening” gunshot wound in his back, and he was taken to hospital.
An hour after the shooting, while police were still investigating in the square, crowds gathered and police reinforcements, supported by firearms officers, were brought in.
A Met police spokesman said: “A male from the crowd because hostile and violent towards officers and a taser deployed.”
You may also want to watch:
An 83-year-old pensioner, who witnessed the stand-off from his balcony, told the Gazette: “There were about 40 to 50 police officers and there must have been about 100 people assembled in the square. Tensions were running high.”
Detectives are appealing for witnesses to the shooting and say the suspects were a group of black youths, aged 15 to 18, who were all wearing dark clothing and hooded tops. They were believed to be on bicycles.

Apple iPad 3 vs Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
Apple's iPad 3 is enjoying a healthy amount of attention in the run-up to its official unveiling, which is rumoured to take place in March of this year.
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime features an 8-megapixel primary camera with autofocus, LED flash, geo-tagging and 1080P video capture and a secondary 1.2-megapixel camera for video-chat and vanity shots.
Both cameras on the Asus perform well with the primary offering easily outperforming any other tablet camera we've used to date.
The iPad 3 will likely feature an improved camera, with some parties predicting an 8-megapixel snapper like that seen on the excellent iPhone 4S, which will likely benefit from autofocus, LED flash and geo-tagging.
We also expect the iPad 3 to offer 1080P video capture too.
The secondary camera is a shoo-in for an upgrade too, and we expect to see the VGA offering of the iPad 2 removed and replaced with a 1.3-megapixel snapper capable of offering FaceTime in glorious 720P HD.
If the predictions are accurate users will be very pleased by the upgrades, as the iPhone 4S is one of the finest smartphones for photography on the market.
Winner - Draw
The iPad 2's display is excellent, and we expect Apple to push the iPad 3 even further. According to sources we are looking at a display with the same dimensions but double the resolution of the iPad 2 at 2048 x 1536.
The device is also rumoured to have a pixel density well in advance of both its predecessor and Asus' Eee Pad Transformer Prime, with a rumoured 264PPI.
Asus' Eee Pad Transformer Prime isn't lacking on the screen front though. Its 10.1-inch Super IPS+ LCD display is far and away the best screen we've seen in an Android tablet and with a resolution of 1280 x 800 and a pixel density of 149PPI it's easy to see why.
Corning's Gorilla Glass offers a neat layer of protection on the Transformer Prime's screen and we expect to see a toughened coating over the face of the new iPad too, though whether it will be Corning's next-gen Gorilla Glass 2 is anyone's guess.
Winner - Apple iPad 3
Tradition dictates that Apple will release a new iteration of its hugely popular iOS platform with the iPad 3.
Details of what to expect are thin on the ground at this stage but we're looking forward to seeing some significant bug-fixes, enhancements to offer better batter life, and improved multi-tasking, along with 3G & 4G support for FaceTime and improved security functionality to rival Google's Face Unlock.
Beneath the improvements, iOS will still be the same usable piece of software that everyone has grown to love with hundreds of thousands of apps and a super-intuitive UI.
The Transformer Prime has just been updated to Android 4.0, and the benefits of thisupgrade are multiple â€“ we'll be detailing them in a separate review.
Features such as an improved notifications system, new UI and overhauled core applications, like Gmail and Google Maps, add to the devices charm and the 400,000+ apps available in the Android Market do nothing to harm the device's reputation either.
Still though, Google's tabet platform is still grossly underprepared for real battle in the tablet markets. But at least Android 4.0 is a step in the right direction.
Winner - iPad 3

“Racism played a big role as my steppingstone to the realization of my potentials and triggered me to found AMANI New Life Centre and King’s Outreach Church Germany e.V. because I wondered how many more were in the same situation as I was” (Teresa Stahn).
Judging a book by its cover is a mistake many people do not realising the rich content inside that same book. Such distinctive features like Skin colour, country of origin, Hair texture & colour are unfortunately used to penalize and discriminate particular group of persons. It is these frustrations and feeling of being handled discriminatively that led Mrs. Teresa to begin her Street social work with the homeless in the streets of Nuremberg.
As a Pastor and counsellor Teresa uses her long Years’ of experience and Love for charity to voluntarily reach out to the vulnerable in the society and offer counselling to families at the verge of breaking, Youth and children in conflict with themselves and their parents, give hope and orientation to Refugees, give hope to the youth in the streets and teach them self-realization and self-worthiness that has seen a majority return to school and colleges to pursue their once crushed dreams.

South Korean actress Lee Yeol-eum charged in Thailand for catching endangered giant clams
- She caught three giant clams in a Thai national marine park on the survival TV show The Law of the Jungle
- Thai authorities said the actress has been charged with hunting the protected shellfish
Actress Lee Yeol-eum cheered as she caught the three giant shellfish in a Thai national marine park in March on the survival TV show “The Law of the Jungle.” Participants in the show then ate the clams in an episode that aired on June 30.
Narong Kongeiad, chief of Hat Chao Mai National Park, said he filed police charges against Lee on Wednesday for violating wildlife laws by hunting the giant clams. The charge carries a maximum penalty of four years in prison and a fine of up to 40,000 baht (US$1,300).
“The one who must be responsible is the actress who caught the shellfish because she directly violated the law,” he said. “Others who were involved with the incident could also be charged as well.”
Seoul Broadcasting System, the show’s producer, issued a statement on Friday saying it “deeply apologises” for filming the episode without a thorough understanding of local regulations, and said it would be more careful in the future.
However, Narong said the producers had been informed of the regulations.
“Sea resources in Hat Chao Mai cannot be caught, hunted or cooked, and the cast and crew were fully aware of that because the park firmly informed them of the park’s restrictions before they began filming,” Narong said.
The incident has triggered an angry reaction among internet users, especially among South Koreans, who have called for the show to be cancelled.
The marine park is in the southern Thai province of Trang, 670 kilometres (420 miles) south of Bangkok.

Don’t judge a musician by her reality TV past. From giving us the teenage pop anthem ‘Chandu Ke Chacha’ – which made Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ sound profound – to the folksy album Attuned Spirits, Vasuda Sharma has undergone a major musical transformation.
In 2003, the 18-year-old from Haryana was part of cringe-inducing indi-pop band Aasma, assembled by Channel [V] show Popstars. Reminder: They made the earworm ‘Chandu Ke Chacha’ (#NeverForget). “I had a lot of growing up to do,” she admits. Bollywood’s marquee names were composed for them, videos were conceptualised for them, and costumes were decided too – they gave distressed denim a whole new meaning. She says, “Even if we had [something to offer] musically, we’d bury it because we were so young.” A steady stream of gigs followed and in fact, the band never really split (they still do the odd corporate show). That’s when the Berklee College of Music, Boston, came to her rescue.
Sharma returned to India with a definitive voice in 2012. Now, the 28-year-old deftly navigates her way around “loop stations” and “arpeggiators” (synthesisers to you and me). Sample her musical chops on Attuned Spirits, in which raga-led compositions are spliced with the saxophone and cello. With 30 musicians from 11 countries, the crowdfunded album is a cauldron of world music influences. She’s currently having a moment with a cappella covers, the latest being a mashup of Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ with ’90s Bollywood hit ‘Oye Oye’ – sounds unholy, but she pulls it off. And for her live sets, she’s assembled a five-piece band that comes with serious indie cred. “I’m in a happy space,” she sums up. “It’s nice to be taken seriously.”

At least 44 hand sanitizers made amid pandemic shortages have high levels of cancer-causing chemical benzene which is considered as dangerous as ASBESTOS, pharmacy warns
- Valisure, an online pharmacy based in New Haven, Connecticut, tested 260 hand sanitizer bottles from 168 brands
- A total of 44 batches or 17%, had detectable levels of benzene, a carcinogen linked to certain blood cancers such as leukemia
- Twenty-one bottles, 8%, had levels of benzene above the FDA-recommended limit of two parts per million
- One bottle, from company artsnatural, had 16.1 parts per million of benzene, eight times more than the recommended limit
- Valisure has sent a letter to the FDA asking the agency to recall the batches and to conduct its own analysis
Valisure, an online pharmacy based in New Haven, Connecticut, said it has detected benzene in several batches across multiple brands of hand sanitizer.
The product is considered as dangerous as asbestos and several companies had levels up to eight times the limit recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
'The presence of benzene, a known human carcinogen, and multiple other contaminants, in products widely recommended for the prevention of spreading the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing COVID-19 and regularly used by adults and children in large volumes makes these findings especially troubling,' Valisure wrote in a letter to the FDA.
Valisure, an online pharmacy based in New Haven, Connecticut, tested 260 hand sanitizer bottles from 168 brands and found benzene in several bottles including from company artsnatural, which has eight times more than the recommended limit (above)
A total of 44 batches, or 17% - including these Satar Wars hand sanitizers (above) - had detectable levels of benzene, a carcinogen linked to certain blood cancers such as leukemia
Benzene is a liquid chemical that is typically colorless but, at room temperature, can become a light yellow color.
It is naturally found in volcanoes and as a result of forest fires, but is also used to make several products including detergents, dyes, lubricants and rubbers.
Being exposed to high levels of benzene can cause cells to not works correctly such as causing bone marrow to not produce enough red blood cells or damaging the immune system to lose white blood cells, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer has identified benzene as a carcinogen, putting it in the highest risk category, Group 1, with other chemicals such as asbestos.
Benzene has been linked to blood cancers such as leukemia
The FDA currently recommends a limit of two ppm (part per million) for liquid hand sanitizer, but does not have recommendations for others such as sprays.
For its analysis, Valisure sampled 260 bottles from 168 brands sold at various big box stores, supermarkets, pharmacies and online retailers across the country.
Of the liquid and non-liquid products tested, 44 batches, or 17 percent, had detectable levels of benzene.
A total of 21 bottles, or eight percent of the supply, contained levels of benzene above two parts per million.
An eight-ounce bottle of hand sanitizer made by company artnaturals had the highest level of benzene at 16 parts per million.
Test results by the online pharmacy were verified by Yale University's Chemical and Biophysical Instrumentation Center and Boston Analytics, a private laboratory.
All of the products with the highest levels of benzene began selling their products in either April or May 2020, according to FDA records, when mainstays were disappearing off of shelves.
Valisure believes some of the sanitizers may have become contaminated with benzene because the chemical is sometimes used in alcohol purification, although it is supposed to be removed before the hand sanitizer is packaged.
Twenty-one bottles, 8%, had levels of benzene above the FDA-recommended limit of two parts per million such as this hand sanitizer made by huangjisoo (abkve)
Valisure has sent a letter to the FDA asking the agency to recall the batches and to conduct its own analysis. Pictured: One of the hand sanitizers that contained high levels of benzene
Valisure has drafted a citizen petition to the FDA, identifying the products and asking the agency to recall the batches, conduct its own analysis and to develop guidance documents defining the limit of benzene for all hand sanitizers.
This is not the first time potentially toxic hand sanitizers have come under public scrutiny.
In June 2020, the FDA warned Americans to stop using nine hand sanitizers because they contained varying amounts of methanol.
Methanol is a type of alcohol that can be poisonous if it is absorbed through the skin or ingested.
Not long after, the FDA warned against ingesting hand sanitizer after at least seven people in New Mexico did so, leaving three dead and one permanently blind.

The Los Angeles Rams have been building a star-studded roster in pursuit of their first Super Bowl ring since the 1999 season, and for the second time in four years, they’ve reached the big game.
This season, they went all-in by acquiring Matthew Stafford from the Lions, trading for Sony Michel, landing Von Miller in a deal with the Broncos and signing Odell Beckham Jr all since last January. They’ve sacrificed draft capital, dished out big contracts and pushed all their chips into the center of the table.
So if they don’t beat the Bengals today in Super Bowl LVI, should the Rams’ season be considered a bust? They enter this game with very different expectations than the Bengals. The Rams have been hyped as Super Bowl contenders for the last 13 months. The Bengals were looked at as a fringe playoff team.
Reaching the Super Bowl is a huge accomplishment for any team, but with the way the Rams got here, many will believe this season was a bust if they don’t win.
Do you agree? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Sorry, guys, there will be no sex, fights or anything remotely exciting in the fourth season of Lost Girl. Well, that’s what cast members said at Comic-Con over the weekend. But, somehow, I just don’t believe them. While our favorite bisexual succubus superhero was not present, cast and creators of Lost Girl attended the annual geektacular event over the weekend to give us some insights into the show and new season.
Zoie Palmer, Ksenia Solo and Kris Holden-Ried were all on hand for the event, along with series executive producers Jay Firestone and Emily Andras. The group were featured in a panel on the show, and conducted interviews throughout the event.
So what can we expect from Season 4? Palmer joked with TV Fanatic that:
We all die in season 4…. We’re going to go for boring for season 4. We did a lot of the thrilling stuff the first three seasons. It’s pretty dry this year.
She’s kidding, kidding! Here are 10 of the tastiest, silliest tidbits culled from their various appearances.
1. Lost Girl will return Nov. 10 on Showcase. The show will move from its normal 9 p.m. timeslot to a later 10 p.m. slot. I don’t know if that means there’ll be more sexytimes, but we can always dream. Sorry, U.S. viewers, no word yet on when Syfy plans to begin airing Season 4 other than “early 2014.”
2. Season 4 will pick up where Season 3 left off. In a roundtable interview, Solo said not much time has passed and Bo is still missing at the beginning of the season. She said, “People will find that the show is very different right off the bat. It is a completely different feel and dynamic with Bo not being there.”
3. Tamsin will be back. But we’re not exactly sure in what form or for how long. Solo let slip during the Comic-Con panel that Kenzi gets to “spend some time with (Tamsin) in season 4, which is really fun because the dynamic changes.”
4. Kenzi may go Fae. While Solo wouldn’t say definitely, she said in her roundtable interview that Kenzi might try out a Fae power in the new season. She told reporters, “I think I’ve been the human long enough. It’ll be fun to maybe introduce something new she can use to maybe defend herself. I’ve already said too much.”

Dhoni Borrows A Police Motorcycle From A Zimbabwean Cop, Shows Up On The Field Riding It!
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is having a field day in Zimbabwe. Quite literally. Dhoni coming to Zimbabwe is massive for Zimbabwe and its cricket fraternity.
Dhoni recently borrowed a bike from a Zimbabwe cop and rode it on the playing field, showing forth his love for bikes. He posted this pic on his facebook page on the eve of India's third ODI and it looks like the best thing that has happened on the Indian tour.
The bike that belonged to the cop is Kawasaki Contours 14 ABS, a cruiser sports bike. It costs Rs 10.50 lakhs. Dhoni's love for sports bikes is well documented. And, he doesn't allow anyone to mess around with that aspect of life. Last year, he was being trolled by former England cricketer Darren Gough to which Dhoni replied like a boss.
Riding another Kawasaki for Dhoni is as easy as keeping wickets because he already owns two of them, Kawasaki Ninja H2 and Kawasaki Ninja ZX14-R. In fact, Dhoni was the the first Indian to own the superbike Kawasaki Ninja H2. Other bikes in Dhoni's garage are Cafederate X132 Hellcat, Harley Davidson Fat Boy, Yamaha Thundercat, Royal Enfield Machismo, Ducati 1098, Yamaha RD350 and an old and iconic Rajdoot.
The Indian captain is returning to the African nation after 11 years, on just his second tour. The home team's performance in the first two ODIs was so pedestrian that the anger of the cricket fans turned into rage once Zimbabwe was all out for 126 on Monday.
Zimbabwe fans, meanwhile, would be hoping for a better show from their team as they are hungry to put up a braze show in front of someone as big as Dhoni.

Excerpt from Too Much to Dream: A Psychedelic American Boyhood (Soft Skull Press)
Every day after school I went to the tiny mall a few blocks from my house. The mall was located far enough from the center of town that no one from my school actually hung out there. Strange to believe, but even on the weekends, I was the only teenager there. And it was for the best. I had moved here in the middle of eighth grade, wearing glasses and last year’s sneakers. I wandered around the bookstore, the Radio Shack, and the department store, thinking my private thoughts, free in the world, away from my parents and the taunts of other kids. Every once in a while Jacob, the lone security guard would say hello, and eventually we got to talking.
Over the course of a few months, we became strangely close—a shy, picked-on, allergy-ridden fourteen-year- old who collected horror comics, and a man in his thirties who had recently lost his father and loved Rush and Black Sabbath. He had long hair and a beard, and to me he looked like a sage or a wizard, hiding out in the uniform of a security guard. He spoke in a mystic babble, and for the first time, all the abstract ideas I was privately interested in took shape in a visible and visceral way. Even though I read books on the occult, part of me refused to believe there really was a secret language that was spoken between the trees and the rocks. But for Jacob, everything was a sign, a symbol that obscured some mysterious meaning. We walked back and forth the length of the mall while he told me stories of how rock ’n’ roll could be cracked and listened to as a secret code. Jacob explained that there was no coincidence, that every moment was a serendipitous, fateful event that pointed toward the next and the next. There was correspondence, he told me, between everything we could see and its equivalent in a hidden reality. So above, so below.
As we walked around that depressing little mall, past the stink of the pet shop, the T-shirt store, the ice-cream shop, the card shop, and the deli, Jacob explained to me the connections that proved God was in all things and all things were in God. Every suit of the tarot deck had a corresponding planet, as in astrology, and the planets themselves reflected the human body. Our bodies contain chakras, points of energy that also referred to the tarot suits, and on and on, until the world was a crushing mass of meaning. He would be describing the lyrics to a Black Sabbath song, when some word or phrase he over- heard from someone walking by us would make his eyes flare. “Did you hear that?” he would ask. “Just like I said. Just as I said.” Jacob spoke as if every thought and idea were a new revelation, but they never resolved into anything pragmatic. It was all circular, pointing back to the details of his life, his own fears, hopes, and desires. I could never tell if God was his salvation or his enemy, if the universe and its myriad associations were a unified perfection or a terrible, indecipherable puzzle that tricked him at every turn with a new significance that undid the previous one.
Jacob started giving me poetry, the stream-of-consciousness engravings of a mystic, but it spoke to me of an intimacy with another person I had not felt before. I was entering adolescence, my hormones filling me with guilt and shame and magical thinking. On the way to the mall, I began to incorporate some of the kinds of protective rituals Jacob had spoken of. I took no chances with the hidden powers that controlled the universe. I began to have to step on a certain brick, touch a certain branch, walk across the abandoned lot in a very precise maze-like pattern, all in the hope of having some kind of control over what felt like, and what Jacob had only clarified for me as, a world that was a bewildering yet mesmerizing series of signs and meanings. He talked in code about something else as well: psychedelic substances that were the key to understanding the cipher of the universe. He never advocated their use, but he recalled experi- ences and told me stories of bizarre encounters with otherworldly entities, like the mysterious “Dr. Neverno,” who came to him in visions and, as Jacob liked to say, played pinball with his psyche.
One afternoon, I decided to let Jacob know how much I had come to love him and depend on him, not only for friendship, but for a guiding light that revealed to me the mystery behind all things and illuminated the path by which I might find my way through. Some years earlier my oldest sister had given me a small pewter scarab necklace. It was a cheap museum trinket but was to me a precious little thing. I gave it to Jacob and he accepted it affectionately. I knew I would never have to feel alone again.
A few weeks later, I found Jacob at the mall in a terrible state. He was rambling about his father’s grave and how someone else who had recently died had put up a new tombstone next to where his father was buried. He seemed crazed, afraid, even, that something awful was about to happen. He explained that the name on the new stone was Rush, the name of his favorite band, the band that he believed had the most perfect knowledge of him and the world. He took the scarab and pressed it into my hand and told me that because I had given it to him, everything was lost and some evil had descended into his life. Jacob insinuated it had all started the day he took the necklace from me as a gift of my love. He literally turned his back on me and left while I stood in front of Walgreens, trembling.
I was afraid to go to the mall for weeks, but when I got up the nerve, he was gone. He had quit his job as the security guard. I never heard from him or saw him again.
The effect of his leaving didn’t reveal the pathology of his belief. What had been his alone became mine. I used to listen to his madness as if on a radio station I couldn’t quite tune in to. But the traumatic results of his final revelation cleared away the static and I became, in some core subconscious place, a true believer in an occult arrangement of cosmic forces, gods, and other invisible beings that shaped our lives—though for good or ill, who could know?
Jacob was a product of that terrible moment when the seventies skidded out of the sixties. LSD was illegal, so even getting it created a drama of illicitness and paranoia. Psychedelics were also big business and were no longer passed out freely at concerts and trip festivals. You couldn’t even be sure you were getting authentic doses of whatever you bought. Another drug, sold as mescaline but having nothing to do with the psychoactive peyote cactus, would shake up your insides as if a hyena had been let loose in your skull. Often it didn’t matter—drugs started to lose their particularity, and getting high, in whatever way was available, became the de facto intent. If you took acid, you probably smoked pot, and if you smoked pot, you even drank a bit and maybe even tried a little coke or snorted a little heroin.
Jacob, I think, tried to parse it all as best he could, but he was still mixing his LSD with another “drug” that did him in more rapidly than any other, and that years later would take me down a similar path: one part occultism, two parts magic, a heavy dose of gnosticism, and a mighty helping of hermetic philosophy, all arranged nicely by those infinite hidden connections—the secret language of the universe.

The main character was obnoxious. and it seemed as though none of the characters ever worked or slept.

BEAU DOES NOT GO
By Celia Cohen
Beau Biden ran for attorney general on a campaign promise to go after child predators.
File this one under be-careful-what-you-wish-for.
Biden has been confronted with the ultimate nightmare of a case -- the prosecution of a Sussex County pediatrician accused of preying on his own patients in conduct so vile that people cannot bring themselves to read about it.
Delaware has not been so fixated on the criminal justice system since the murder trial of Tom Capano and the baby-killing case of Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson simultaneously consumed the state in the late 1990s.
The furor over Baybees Doctor Earl Bradley coincided with an election year, in which Biden's four-year term as the Democratic attorney general was up and he was regarded as the obvious choice to run for the Senate seat left behind by his father-the-vice-president.
Not only was Biden the Democrats' favorite for sentimental reasons, but for political reasons. He easily looked like the strongest candidate against Mike Castle, the Republican congressman riding a 30-year winning streak that also made him the governor and lieutenant governor.
Biden-against-Castle had all the makings of the premier Senate race in the country for 2010, a clash to decide whether the Biden name or a Republican comeback would prevail.
Until Monday. With the mouse click of e-mail sent to political supporters and the press, Biden took himself out of the Senate election and committed to running for re-election.
There was no doubt Biden had his eye on the Senate campaign. Once Bradley turned into Public Enemy #1 in December, however, it was politically impossible for Biden to talk about the Senate without opening himself to the charge that his priority was not in prosecuting an unspeakable crime but his own political ambition. Then it became impossible to run for it.
"I gave it [the Senate] serious consideration. As the case moved on the last several weeks, it just became clearer and clearer I could not do both. It's a matter of incredible importance to the office and the state, and to mount a campaign for the U.S. Senate, they were incompatible," Biden said.
"I'm going to take very seriously my opportunity to earn another four years in this job."
Back in the days of Gov. Pete du Pont's Republican administration, his aides had an expression -- O.B.E., overtaken by events. It is what just happened to Biden.
Anyway, there is always 2014. Biden and the Senate seat both will be up again.
The Republicans would like to think they had something to do with Biden's decision -- by fielding a strong candidate who could capitalize on the Republican resurgence that just brought the party a new senator from Massachusetts.
"You've got Castle, Massachusetts and Bradley, and you've got three good reasons to wait. With Castle, you've got no reason to run, because Delaware is going to be well-represented in the United States Senate," said Priscilla Rakestraw, the Republican national committeewoman for Delaware.
The Democrats will cope.
"Beau did what he thought was the right thing to do. He was getting support. He could be a great candidate if he ran for the Senate," said John Daniello, the Democratic state chair.
"It's not like we lost him on the ticket."
Biden's decision scrambles state politics. The Democrats need someone to run for the Senate. Ditto for the Republicans for attorney general. It is a sure bet the Republicans will come calling in earnest on Charlie Copeland, the former state senator who ran for lieutenant governor, to urge him to go for the congressional seat against John Carney, the Democratic who was a two-term lieutenant governor.
Biden's decision also says something about him. He walked away from an appointment as attorney general when it was his for the asking. He walked away from a Senate nomination when it was his for the asking. It seems to be getting harder to accuse him of harboring a sense of entitlement.
What a breakneck ride Biden is on. In the last four years, he was elected attorney general, his father became the vice president, he spent a year in Iraq with the Delaware National Guard, he mourned his grandmother's death, and now this.
Maybe he decided he just needs to catch his breath.

A bogus workman preyed on two vulnerable people in Perth – one a stroke victim and the other an OAP – in the run-up to Christmas in a desperate bid to get cash to feed his escalating drug habit.
Callous James Hume (23) from Nimmo Avenue, demanded £180 from the stroke victim after claiming to have cleaned gutterings at his home in Albany Terrace.
The householder was sceptical about the work needing to be done as the rones had recently been repaired and re-painted.
But he felt “pressured” into handing over £110 – all the money he had on him at the time, Perth Sheriff Court was told on Wednesday.
Depute fiscal Bill Kermode pointed out: “He has suffered a stroke so in that respect he’s vulnerable.”
That incident took place on December 11.
The police were later alerted and the victim identified the accused from photographs he had been shown.
Then, on December 22, Hume called at the home of an OAP in Stanley Crescent.
He told the pensioner he was a plumber employed by the council as a sub-contractor.
He fabricated a story that he was there to remedy work that hadn’t been completed when the 75-year-old’s kitchen had been refurbished.
He claimed a previous workman had left something uncapped – and there was a loose wire.
“He stated that the council would charge £56 for a call-out but as he was a sub-contractor he asked for £36,” according to the fiscal.
Fortunately some of her family members were present and they didn’t believe him.
They said they would contact the council to check his story but he said there was “no need” as he would email the council and return at a later date with the paperwork.
“The pensioner’s daughter contacted Perth and Kinross Council’s Repairs Department and she was informed no-one was carrying out repair work in the area
“The police were then contacted,” stated Mr Kermode.
The same day, the accused called on a third potential victim, a 30-year-old man and his wife in Duncansby Way - and tried to con them out of £200.
He claimed that their next door neighbour, a serving prison officer, had paid him £500 to have a tree cut down outside the properties.
Hume asked for £200 from them, but they were also suspicious and checked with their neighbour.
The accused still stuck to his story despite the prison officer maintaining no deal had been struck.
The police, who were already on route to the previous attempted scam, were quickly on the scene.
Hume was traced and gave a “no comment” interview to police.
Hume pled guilty to one charge of fraudulently obtaining £110 by fraud and two counts of attempted fraud, committed on December 11 and 22.
Jailing him for 10 months, Sheriff Lindsay Foulis told him: “Custody, in my view, is inevitable in connection with this matter.”
Not guilty pleas to further charges of stealing a chain saw from Auto Garden Services, Whitefriars Street, Perth, on December 8 and having cannabis in his possession in Duncansby Way, Perth, on December 22 were accepted.
Solicitor Cheryl McKnight, for Hume, said he accepted he would be jailed.
She added: “He has asked me to apologise for his behaviour.
“He’s someone who has had a long-standing drug problem which, to some extent, has escalated in the past year.
“He has moved on from cannabis to to heroin.”
He hadn’t single out any of the victims but had simply knocked on their doors “purely to get money for his drug habit”.
The jail term was backdated to December 23, when Hume was remanded.

Read more answer nowAsked by Mosashy Martin on October 23, 2019 4:32 AMAnswered by the admin This is a great wheel choice for your Acura RSX. Normally, we would recommend to pair it with a 215/45-17 tire but if you prefer a wider, meatier look you can certainly go a bit wider with a 225/45-17 or 235/45-17. Keep in mind that sometimes, those wide tire setups require a little bit of fender rolling especially if your RSX is lowered. Check out our guide Wheel Fitment Explained for an easy to read overview of how we determine proper wheel fitment.


A Canadian fishing vessel that claimed salvage rights over a Japanese ghost ship will not tow it, clearing the way Thursday for the U.S. Coast Guard to go ahead with plans to sink the stricken boat.
Coast Guard spokesman Paul Webb said the agency started firing its cannons on the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru around 2:30 p.m.
A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to tow the abandoned ship.
The Japanese ship, which was dislodged by last year’s tsunami and has no lights or communications system, has a tank that could carry more than 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel.
Officials don’t know how much fuel, if any, is aboard. Either way, the government says the move is safer environmentally than letting the ship continue to drift or become a danger to other vessels.
“It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into (maritime) traffic,” Webb said.
The ship had been destined for scrapping when the Japan earthquake struck, so there is no cargo on board, according to Webb. He said it’s likely there is little or no fuel on board because the ship has been traveling high in the water, indicating a light ballast.
Webb said he doesn’t know who owns the Ryou-Un Maru, which has been traveling about 1 mile per hour in the past days.
A Coast Guard cutter was at the location of the ghost ship Thursday with plans to fire cannons loaded with high explosive rounds to sink the vessel in calm seas and clear weather.
Webb said the cutter would fire the cannons from several hundred feet away. The goal is to punch holes in the Ryou-Un Maru and sink it. A Coast Guard C-130 plane crew will monitor the operation.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship and let the fuel evaporate in the open water.
The Coast Guard will warn other ships to avoid the area, and will observe from an HC-130 Hercules airplane.
The vessel has been adrift from Hokkaido, Japan, since it was launched by the tsunami caused by the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011. About 5 million tons of debris were swept into the ocean by the tsunami.
The Japan earthquake triggered the world’s worst nuclear crisis since the Chernobyl accident in 1986, but Alaska state health and environmental officials have said there’s little need to be worried that debris landing on Alaska shores will be contaminated by radiation.
They have been working with federal counterparts to gauge the danger of debris including material affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild game could be affected.
In January, a half dozen large buoys suspected to be from Japanese oyster farms appeared at the top of Alaska’s panhandle and may be among the first debris from the tsunami.

The world health organization (who) has recognized the sausages of equal harmfulness of Smoking and alcohol. Specialists of the organization are asked to adhere to the norm: no more than 50 grams. on the day of the meat products.
Experts warn that frankfurters, sausages and cooked sausages are gentle handling, so buyers are sure that they are not dangerous. But the results of market research proved the dangers of sausages and cooked sausage.
In fact, experts say that their composition is about 50% of the skin, bones, offal, soy. Meat only – 7-15 %, other ingredients: flour, starch, and additives to enhance the taste. And according to the GOST of the meat should be a big part.
All the well-known “doctor” previously consisted of non-fat pork, beef, dry milk and eggs.
Expert Oksana Berdichevsky, dietitian, nutritionist, founder of the online school “architecture of the body”, said that now the sausages hard to call it meat products.
According to her, besides animal fat and skin they contain chemical elements: phosphates, nitrites, nitrates and other that makes sausages delicious and attractive.
“These meat products have no nutritional value. Moreover, they are very unhealthy when consumed regularly in food.” she summed up, adding that it is impossible to use this sausage people who are overweight; having pathology of the gallbladder and liver; gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer; suffering from atherosclerosis and gout; kidney stone disease; hypertension and cardiac insufficiency.
Experts Roskoshestvo previously told the Russians how to choose the right sausage. They confirm the above experts that the composition of cooked sausages should not be included: chicken meat and skin, vegetable proteins, cellulose and starch.
According to experts, in accordance with standards acceptable to use for cooking sausages some E-additives: dye fixing (sodium nitrite) E250, antioxidants E300, ascorbic acid, Е301, Е304, Е306.
“The composition of sausages is not allowed to mix such as E-additives like E120 and E252, which may have a carcinogenic effect. Also you should avoid and Е536: this additive has low toxicity, but manufacturers are working not according to GOST, you can use it as an emulsifier to obtain a homogeneous consistency of the product”, – stated in the message Roskoshestvo.
Earlier Magicforum wrote that in a short time in the food of Russian citizens instead of fillers, created from the waste of meat production, will be to add the shells of locusts. According to experts, it will allow to replace expensive supplements cheaper.
Currently, supplements made from shells locust develops a team of scientists of St. Petersburg University of information technologies, mechanics and optics (ITMO).

His Dark Materials Season 3 Ending Explained: The Philip Pullman novel series of the same name served as the inspiration for the fantasy drama titled “His Dark Materials,” which was created by Amazon Studios.
It takes place in a reality that is composed of multiple worlds that are intricately woven together. The third season of HBO‘s “His Dark Materials” concludes the series’ plot and brings the imaginative events in Lyra and Will’s journey to a suitable conclusion.
The entire course of the protagonists’ adventures had been building up to this moment when everything comes together and ties up all the loose ends. The show’s ending moves viewers with its combination of intense battle sequences and significant sections.
It’s more accurate to say that it’s the beginning of a new adventure for their characters rather than the conclusion of this one, particularly for Will and Lyra.
If you are curious to know about the ending of ‘His Dark Materials’ Season 3 then you have come to the right place as everything related to the ending will be discussed in detail here in this article.
Recap Of The Finale Episode Of His Dark Materials Season 3
The conflict between Lord Asriel and Metatron is depicted in the final two episodes of the series, while his daughter carries out the prophecy that has been the focus of everyone’s attention for the entire run.
If necessary, The Clouded Mountain will employ brute force to bring down Metatron and throw him into the abyss as it advances on Asriel’s Republic.
In the end, Mrs. Coulter decides to join him on his mission, and as a result, both of Lyra’s parents end up making the ultimate sacrifice in order to slay Metatron and save their daughter.
After the war is over, Will and Lyra travel to the world of the Mulefa, where they meet up with their daemons once more. Prior to that, they encounter Mary Malone, who eventually decides to play the Serpent.
She explains to Lyra and Will that curiosity and a desire for knowledge are not bad things, and that Dust is actually pure consciousness rather than sin.
Father Lopez also enters this planet with the intention of capturing the Serpent but instead meets Balthamos. Will and Lyra eventually reach the part of the prophecy where Lyra turns into the second Eve and falls.

His Dark Materials Season 3 Ending Explained: Do Lyra and Will End Up Together?
Despite everything that Lyra and Will have been through, they are not able to be together in the end, which is one of the reasons that contribute to the bittersweet quality of the conclusion of “His Dark Materials.”
In particular, when they have realized how they feel about one another. Previously, Lyra and Will had intended to temporarily return to their respective worlds, but they were confident that they would stay in touch because Will could easily enter and exit Lyra’s world.
However, one of them would have to give up their present reality in order to completely close the window. Will then discloses that even that is not a possibility, which is a surprising turn of events.
Finally, they make a commitment to return to the bench in the Botanical Garden every year at the same time and on the same day. They may still be connected in some sense even though they were on opposite sides of the world.

Why Will Break the Knife?
Will permanently destroys the Subtle Knife after he returns to his world. They will never again see each other as a result of this, making their separation permanent.
Lyra and Will are informed by Xaphania that the knife is what has been causing all of the Dust to leak out. It is a special knife with special qualities that are so potent that some people think it might even be able to kill the Authority.
Due to the knife’s special properties, only the bearer has the ability to close any windows it has opened for as long as it is in existence.
According to Xaphania, once the knife is no longer there, the angels will once again be capable of shutting the windows on their own initiative. However, as long as there is a knife, someone will be carrying it, and that person will be the only one with power.
Will sacrifices himself and destroys the knife as soon as he shuts the window between his world and Lyra’s in order to prevent all of the worlds from perishing.
Before, when he was distracted by thoughts of his mother, he had previously broken the knife. This time, he has Lyra on his mind, and as a result, he completely breaks the knife.

407 Pounds Of Marijuana Headed To OKC Seized In Texas Panhandle
AMARILLO, Texas - Over two days last week, the Texas Highway Patrol says it has seized 407 pounds of marijuana headed to Oklahoma City during traffic stops on I-40.

MY00 WRS - '04 WRX

My RS buildup questions...
As many of you know, I have an engine to be built in a short while (couple months or so). I have figured everything out for the block, now I need to figure out valvetrain. Should I go with:
a. SOHC RS heads with upgraded valvetrain, or
b. DOHC WRX heads (possible COBB cams upgrade).
I am looking to run:
18 PSI max
Looking for 350hp (300awhp to the wheels)
Looking for 12.2 - 12.5 1/4 mile times
Trans will be upgraded to an RA gearset eventaully
What you guys think? I need some opinions here. The car will not be driven daily, only weekend/fun car. Might take it to the strip once or twice to see gains/1/4 times.
Experts, lets get some comment there!

Being designed for a larger displacement engine, the EJ25 heads may flow a little better... on the other hand, even though the WRX heads are designed for a smaller displacement, they are meant for turbo application also, so maybe they would flow better?
Lol, i'm no help i guess

Re: My RS buildup questions...
#2. 18psi on that turbo is more then lkely going to not give you more power but just push hot air. I'd suggest a diffrent turbo if your looking to push 18psi.
#3 to make 300awhp you will need to make 350. To make 350 you will need a built block, a bigger turbo, heads to take float and I would assume bigger injectors then 440cc.
#5 12.2-12.4 is where dan is, do you see how much money dan has dumped into his wrx to get it there? His car is far from stock and a simple built motor with the turbo that comes in the kit won't do it. Besides your gonna need a new gear box and you should also get brakes while your at it because I kinda believe in an all around car. I also don't think the turbo is gonna make it for you to get those kinda times. Did you notice how brian ran a 13.7 at the track with a cam'd turbo rs? if your looking for a 12.2-.4 consistiant....you either better become the best driver out there or you are gonna need a 11 sec car...which is VERY hard to come by in our little AFI world.
just my 2¢

that is funny...
my uncle always said to aim high.....he used to and it cost him his life...
anyway, you are aiming really high.
you should look into axxis power's monster motor buildups to get this kinda of power.
for something semi-reliable, you are gonna need low comp ratio, valve springs, probably need to oring the black and some serious injectors and fuel rails/lines. COBB stage 1 cams should do it.
When i first bought my car i thought it would be great to aim at 200whp, and i thought that was aiming high.

Kevin Follows in Britney's Vegas Footsteps
A week after Britney Spears took Las Vegas by storm, her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kevin Federline, arrived in the city for an album-release party on Friday night.
Federline and his entourage kicked off the evening with dinner at Tao at the Venetian, where Spears had dined with new pal Paris Hilton the previous weekend (and where Spears threw Federline a 28th birthday party back in March).
Before hitting the hotel and casino’s club after dinner, Federline posed for photos in a dark pin-striped suit. He declined interviews but told photographers, “I’m good.”
Once inside the club, Federline chilled at his VIP booth with about 15 friends, drinking Jack Daniels and sending text messages, but rarely chatting with the women at his table.
“He seemed really aware of his actions, but he was really having a good time,” one clubgoer tells PEOPLE.
One small hiccup occurred when DJ Reach, Tao’s DJ, played Spears’s song “Toxic.” As his friends abruptly stopped dancing, Federline put his hand in the air, shooing away the song in disapproval. The DJ stopped the song halfway through, saying, “Hold on. This is Kevin’s night.”
As the night wore on, Federline and his crew danced when the DJ played his songs “Lose Control” and “Privilege.” The group left after 4 a.m., headed for the Venetian’s casino.
