The fact that these articles never make mention about the amount of cigarettes needed to create harmful amounts of “third hand smoke” are in the one pack a day and above range makes this all a bit pedestrian and banal.
I’m ok with not smoking in bars (especially in the warmer months, if its above freezing you can go outside to smoke) and second hand smoke is a definite reason for banning smoking in a lot of places, but come one. Third hand smoke? Seriously? I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times, moderation of anything is ok. If I want to have a cig or two on the weekends then let me do that in peace. Don’t give anti-smokers the ammunition of shit like “third hand smoke” to make me feel bad for one of my vices…
(Also, Alassandra Ambrosio smoking just made my week…)
Toyota has to recall almost all of their Prius’s. That’s right, more than 400,000 cars. That’s a little more than a “oops” situation.
“I don’t see Toyota as an infallible company that never makes mistakes,” President Akio Toyoda said at a news conference Tuesday. “We will face up to the facts and correct the problem, putting customers’ safety and convenience first.”
With the Prius announcement, the number of vehicles recalled globally by Toyota Motor Corp. has ballooned to 8.5 million, including for floor mats which can trap gas pedals and faulty gas pedals that are slow to return to the idle position. The 2010 Prius wasn’t part of the earlier recalls.
I’d just like to say that quite a few months ago I posted something about Orianthi and she’s seems to be slowly erupting as a more recognizable, dare I say “pop” artist.
My 10 views a day probably had a lot to do with that one… you’re welcome, btw…
Part, I dunno, VI, I think? Anyway, here are a few more great examples of Ed’s guitar work (and work as a badass, in general):
As you can plainly see, Ed has written an amazing guitar part that creates the entire ambiance and atmosphere in this song, which is the most important part of ‘Let Down’. If you were to strip away the vocals, this song would have the exact same effect, emotionally, that’s a feat in and of itself in rock music. Also, getting that tone of a Rickenbacker is amazing.
To keep with the British music theme of this morning (Apparently) here’s one of the best riffs ever. Period. Way to go John Squire, between you, Duane Allman and Derek Trucks I don’t think I’ll try to learn slide guitar. I just couldn’t live up to this standard…
So, No Distance Left To Run, a film about Blur, premiered last night and I have to say I’m genuinely perplexed as to why films can’t be released in other countries at the same time still. I mean, we live in the year 2010 and I still can’t get my hands on District B 13: Ultimatum or this movie?
I went to school for film, I understand the business end of it all, etc. but, come one!
Anyway, apparently Damon Albarn finally revealed why they released Country House at the same time as Roll With It.
Blur clear up one old mystery – saying it was Damon’s decision to release single Country House against Roll With It by Oasis.
The biggest chart battle of the decade became the defining moment of Brit pop – and Blur got the No1.
Damon says he did it to get back at Noel Gallagher. He recalled: “Noel used to take the p*** out of me constantly and it really, really hurt at the time. Oasis were like the bullies I had to put up with at school.”
