[Audio] Justin Bieber - Speaking In Tongues (Freestyle)

Justin Bieber freestyles to Cam'ron & Vado's Speaking Tungs.

Vado had this to say in the NYPost after hearing Bieber's freestyle:
"I was shocked! He killed it! He sounded like [Notorious] B.I.G.," Vado told the Daily News on Thursday night. "When I seen it on Twitter, I didn't believe it."

Vado already is talking about a remix for the popular track, "Speaking in Tungs," a big summer anthem that hit stores just this week.

"We need to keep his verse for the remix! We might finish the remix this weekend, and let Justin go first," said Vado, 24. "I'm definitely going to contact him."

Response to McDonald's Happy Meal Food "Experiment" @TNOReality @terry_carter @mcdonalds @Appetite4Profit

Mickey D's is finally responding to the experiment! Here is what the link says:

Response to McDonald's Happy Meal Food "Experiment"
MEDIA STATEMENT
“McDonald’s menu items are freshly prepared in our restaurants. It is not possible to provide a detailed explanation regarding these claims without knowing the conditions in which these food items were kept. That said, we strongly caution anyone from jumping to conclusions.
McDonald's hamburger patties in the U.S. are made with 100% USDA-inspected beef. They are cooked and prepared with salt, pepper and nothing else - no preservatives - no fillers. Our hamburger buns are made from North American-grown wheat flour. Our world-famous French fries are made from potatoes and cooked in a canola-oil blend. These are the same foods that consumers buy every day in their local grocery stores - bread, meat and potatoes.
Bacteria and mold only grow under certain conditions. For example, without sufficient moisture – either in the food itself or the environment in which it is held – bacteria and mold and associated decomposition, is unlikely. If food is/or becomes dry enough, it won’t grow mold or bacteria. In fact, any food purchased from a restaurant or grocery store or prepared at home that lacks moisture would also dehydrate and see similar results if left in the same environment.
McDonald's food safety and quality standards are among the highest in the industry. McDonald’s sources its ingredients from approved suppliers that adhere to strict standards for food safety and quality, including a controlled, well-maintained and clean environment throughout our entire supply chain. Together with stringent procedures for handling and storage, we work hard to minimize any exposure that would contribute to the presence of mold, bacteria or other microorganisms.”

The right car, the right price, the right way. @carwoo

So I was online, looking for new cars and I came across this website; its another thing to add in the arsenal of car buying, which I might try out:

http://carwoo.com/

Step 1: Tell us what kind of car you want

You get to use our simple car picking tool to tell us what make, model, and year you're looking for. We give you simple tools to tell us what’s most important about the car you’re looking to buy. Whether it’s a specific color or option package, we help you communicate your desires to dealers so they can get you the best possible deal.

Step 2: We contact the best local dealers for you

Rather than driving around for an entire weekend and wasting your time inside a car dealership, we actually do all the hard work of contacting dealers on your behalf and get them to give you firm offers. After helping hundreds of buyers have a great car-buying experience, we know which dealers are the friendliest, which ones will give you the best prices, and which ones to avoid completely. By signing up for CarWoo!, you get all the benefits of that knowledge.

Step 3: You compare competing offers online

Before the days of CarWoo!, price quotes from dealers were really hard to compare because they all came in different formats and a lot of them didn't even include all the information you would need to make a decision. With CarWoo!, you get all your offers in one easy-to-understand format that has everything you need and you can compare them all by logging into your CarWoo! Account right here on carwoo.com.
You’ll never have to worry if you’re getting a great deal or being taken advantage of, because you’ll get plenty of firm offers from dealers to give you confidence in your deal.

Step 4: We help you pick the best offer

Once you've gotten enough offers to compare, it's time to pick the one that you want to accept. CarWoo! gives you the tools to help you narrow it down, then it's up to you to click the "I want to buy this car" button. What that does is lock in the offer so that you can go pick up the car at the dealership and, without any more negotiating, only have to pay the special CarWoo! Price (which is, on average, over $3000 less than MSRP). Then you get to drive off the lot in a brand new car, smiling to yourself and thinking "Woo!"

Consumer Reports tests find traces of heavy metals in some protein supplements

Look at this article I found on the LA Times:
June 1, 2010 |  1:40 pm
Walk into almost any health store or large gym and you can't help but notice the enormous tubs of protein supplements. Popular with bodybuilders and other athletes, the products are often marketed as a safe way to get extra protein in your diet. Consumer Reports would respectfully like to disagree.
L1jue0nc The online site released a report Tuesday in which outside lab tests were run on 15 different protein drinks (ready-to-drink liquids and powder mixes) and found that some contained contaminants such as cadmium, arsenic, lead and mercury — most in the low to moderate range. But the authors of the investigation point out that levels were high enough in three of the supplements that if three servings were consumed daily, levels could surpass the maximum recommended limits for one or two of the contaminants.
The report found that three daily servings of EAS Myoplex Original Rich Dark Chocolate Shake have an average 16.9 micrograms of arsenic, which is over the suggested U.S. Pharmacopeia limit of 15 micrograms per day. Three servings also contain an average of 5.1 micrograms of cadmium, just over the USP limit of 5 micrograms. Three daily servings of some types of Muscle Milk products also exceeded suggested limits for certain heavy metals. The report points out that shellfish and some organ meats, such as liver, can be high in cadmium, as can plants that absorb phosphate fertilizers. According to the Food and Drug Administration, milk, yogurt, eggs, red meat and poultry can be good sources of heavy metal-free protein.
Consuming too much protein, which can be done if some supplements are overused, can lead to health problems, according to Consumer Reports. Most women need about 46 grams of protein per day and most men need about 56 grams, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The report will also be available in the July issue of the magazine Consumer Reports.

McDonald's Happy Meal shows no sign of decomposing after SIX MONTHS

Looking almost as fresh as the day it was bought, this McDonald's Happy Meal is in fact a staggering six months old.

Photographed every day for the past half a year by Manhattan artist Sally Davies the kids meal of fries and burger is without a hint of mould or decay.

In a work entitled The Happy Meal Project, Mrs Davies, 54, has charted the seemingly indestructible fast food meals progress as it refuses to yield to the forces of nature.
