The Cranberries release final song recorded with Delores O’Riordan ‘In The End’

April 16, 2019 | Kevin

The Cranberries released the final song recorded with their late singer Delores O’Riordan prior to her unfortunate passing in last year. The track ‘In The End’ was the final recording of O’Riordan prior to her tragic death, and it’s final song their upcoming album of the same name, due out on April 26th. You can stream it below.

“What a way to finish the record. To have ‘In The End’ as the last song is just perfect,” says drummer Fergal Lawler in a statement on Consequence of Sound. “Lyrically it is self-explanatory,” adds guitarist Noel Hogan. “It speaks for itself, it just is a lovely feeling and it’s a gorgeous song.”

The song is immoderately moving and touching considering now that O’Riordan has passed, as the song is so self-reflective. It shows off her graceful tones, lyrical reach, and ability to capture the human spirit in such a sincere way.

Vlasic Just Created Pickle Chips . . . Literally Chips Made from Pickles

April 16, 2019 | Tim Virgin

I can’t decide if these want these or not?

Vlasic just announced they’re coming out with new PICKLE CHIPS soon.  These aren’t pickle-flavored potato chips, which have been around forever.  These are chips literally made out of, quote, “vacuum-fried pickles.”

They’re set to come out sometime soon. – Tim Virgin

Looking to quit smoking? Try sniffing chocolate

April 16, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

You can try chewing gum, nicotine patches, or going cold turkey; there’s a range of tactics to try and quit smoking.

A new study suggests that smelling pleasant odours can help, like peppermint, apples, and chocolate.

Dr Michael Savette, who led the study said,

“Using pleasant odours to disrupt smoking routines would offer a distinct and novel method for reducing cravings, and our results to this end are promising.”

Researchers at the University of Pittsburg studied 232 smokers who smelled and rated a number of different pleasant odours, as well as unpleasant odours. They were asked then to light a cigarette and hold it but not smoke it. After that test, they would rate their urge to smoke on a scale of 1 to 100.

Participants then smelled either the scent they had rated most pleasurable, the scent of tobacco or no scent, before rating their urge to smoke again.

Results revealed that regardless of what odour they smelled, all participants had a decreased urge to smoke after smelling the scent. However, those who smelled the pleasant odours had a significantly lower urge to smoke than those who smelled the tobacco or blank smell.

So if nothing else is working try smelling something you find pleasant, may it be chocolate or something else.

5 parents are suing NYC over mandatory measles vaccinations

5 parents are suing NYC over mandatory measles vaccinations

Five parents are suing New York City over an emergency order for mandatory measles vaccinations. Anyone who doesn\’t comply could face a $1,000 fine. The parents are saying that the order is violating their religious beliefs.

When the public health emergency was issued by the New York City Mayor, there were 285 confirmed cases. According to ABC News, \”the vast majority of cases involved children under 18 who were not vaccinated or who had not received the required number of doses of the….vaccine\”.

NYC\’s health commissioner, Dr. Oxiris Barbot, said that \”This outbreak is being fueled by a small group of anti-vaxxers in these neighborhoods. They have been spreading dangerous misinformation based on fake science.\”

In case you\’ve been living under a rock, Lori Loughlin and her husband (Mossimo Giannulli) have been accused of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in the attempt to get their daughters admitted to college. They allegedly paid $500,000 in bribe money to get the girls into USC – including falsely to enter them as crew recruits (despite neither of them actually participating in the sport).

People reports that \”The couple was previously offered a plea agreement, but ultimately decided to reject the deal because they didn’t want to spend time in jail\”.

Despite overwhelming evidence against them, Loughlin and Giannulli have entered a plea of not guilty.

Watch this CNN video for more clarity on the plea:

Happy Tax Day!

April 15, 2019 | <3 Lauren

The Ides of April are upon us and Uncle Sam would like to speak with you about how much money you made last year.  If you are like me and one of the 40 million people who haven’t filed yet, we have until midnight to electronically file (or end of business to have our mail return postmarked.)

You will find the address for where you should be sending your mail return to HERE.

In Chicago, the Cardiss Collins facility downtown will remain open until midnight for last-minute filers. There will be collections at street level. A second-floor retail area will be open inside for anyone who wants certified mail and other services.  No other Chicago postal stations will offer extended hours.

If you haven’t even begun to sort yours out (hi friend) you can file for an extension HERE.

Now we can continue to procrastinate until October 15th!

WTF: A man is suing his parents for throwing out his porn

April 15, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

A guy in Indiana is suing his parents because they got rid of his massive porn collection.

The 40-year-old man, who’s been identified as “Charlie”, moved in with his parents back in 2016 after he got divorced. It was in August of 2017 he moved out of his parent’s place in Michigan, after a domestic incident.

A few months later his parents drove to his place in Indiana to drop off his stuff. But he noticed one thing was missing: his massive porn collection. We’re not just talking about 1 box full, we’re talking TWELVE boxes full of movies and TWO boxes of adult toys.

When he confronted them about it they told him they’d been destroyed. His father wrote in an email why he did it, “For your own mental and emotional health. I would’ve done the same if I’d found a kilo of crack cocaine.”

He estimates the collection was worth $29,000 dollars and is seeking triple in financial damages, asking $87,000. Think justice will be done for his porn?

Also, ‘Charlie’ was kicked out of both high school and college for selling porn to other students.

What happens when a young boy finds a razor? (VIDEO)

April 15, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

Mom of three, Stephine Leigh, was in tears when she saw what her son had done to himself and his siblings.

Her son, Teddy, had found an electric razor and had given himself, his sister Eloise, and brother Freddie a haircut.

You can understand the shock of coming out and seeing your kids hair shaven off, but momma wasn’t extremely mad. Remember it’s just hair, it’ll grow back.

On Stephanie Instagram, she posted an update on her two boys with freshly shaved heads.

But what does Eloise look like now? Probably the same, but it’ll grow back!

How Jay Cutler is “sucking harder than he’s ever sucked.”

April 14, 2019 | Eric

Someone at 101WKQX is watching all the terrible television….so you don’t have to.  And I feel so bad for whoever they are.

On the mid-season teaser trailer of a thing called “Very Cavallari” on the E! Network, Kristin Cavallari has indicated that husband & former Bears quarterback Jay Cutler helped out his wife by “sucking hard than he’s ever sucked.”  On her clogged milk ducts.  Hear for yourself:

Now, Ms. Cavallari says that her husband “saved her life” by doing this.  So I Googled whether or not a clogged milk duct is fatal.  Painful, yes but  — surprise — not an immediate life threat, as long as you address the problem.  And number nine on a list of ways to clear a clogged duct is having your partner help you out.  So good on Jay for doing something more useful than anything he ever did in a uniform for the Monsters Of The Midway.  — [eric]

Chris Cornell fan wants the black hole named in his honor.

April 13, 2019 | Eric

A petition has started to have the first black hole captured by a camera — named after the late Soundgarden and Audisslave frontman.

Giuliana Jarrin writes on the Change.org petition that having the supermassive black hole named in Chris’ honor “would be a surreal and amazing way to honor his life and his contribution to music.”   And as of the publishing of this article, the 35,000 signatures had been reached to make it happen.

Earlier this week, the Event Horizon Telescope captured the first ever image of such a phenomenon — thanks in big to part to the contributions of a 29 year old grad student.  — [eric]

TOP 20 Muse songs you can not debate in anyway

April 12, 2019 | Kevin

They have sold millions of album, played to hundreds of thousands people, and certainly could be called the biggest band in the world.
