Food / Foods That Could Kill You by eghost247(m): 5:09pm On Apr 07, 2012
[size=20pt]Potatoes[/size]

Potatoes seem like one of the most harmless things on the planet. I mean, there's a children's toy modeled after them. But it turns out that the leaves, stems and sprouts of potatoes contain substances called glycoalkaloids, which can cause cramping, diarrhea, headaches, coma or death when consumed by humans. Potatoes that have been left on the vine for too long are subject to absorb some of these substances, of which only 3 to 6 mg per kg of body weight could be deadly. Affected potatoes typically have a green tinge, so avoid them (and something called potato leaf tea) like the plague!
[size=20pt]Nutmeg[/size]
This little spice can make your day a little sweeter. Or it could make it a lot trippier. Nutmeg is a hallucinogen (it can cause you to see things that are not there), and eating an entire one whole can send you into a psychotic trip, like LSD. But don't go gnawing on the stuff for a high, as little as 0.2 ounces of nutmeg could lead to convulsions, and 0.3 oz could cause seizures.




[size=20pt]Cherries[/size]

Cherry seeds are not only annoying to eat around, but they could also be fatal. The pits/seeds of cherries, plums, apricots, apples and peaches all contain prussic acid, a form of cyanide; and if they are crushed or bitten into, they can release this toxin. It is rare to die from chewing a cherry seed, but I would avoid them nonetheless.


[size=15pt]Almonds[/size]
While almonds are often touted for their healthy nature, they can also kill you. Almonds naturally contain cyanide, a well-known deadly poison; and eating a handful or two of untreated almonds could be very dangerous. In the United States, almonds must be cleared of all toxins to be sold; but be careful of the nuts when traveling.




[size=20pt]Ackee[/size]

Ackee is a fruit found in Jamaica and is common in native dishes. If ackee is picked before it is totally ripe, it can be poisonous, due to a chemical that messes with the body's glucose levels. Death has occurred, and it is illegal to bring the fruit into the United States. If you're planning a trip to Jamaica anytime soon, avoid dishes that contain this fruit, like traditional ackee and saltfish.




[size=20pt]Tuna[/size]

Tuna, like other types of fish, often contains moderate to high levels of mercury. Mercury could potentially cause brain damage if consumed in large quantities. While the FDA doesn't recommend consumption of tuna for children or pregnant women, the rest of us just need to watch our weekly intake. The FDA suggests limiting tuna, and all fish, intake to 12 ounces a week; but the amount that can be toxic varies by gender and weight. Use the tuna calculator to find out your limit.




[size=20pt]Rhubarb[/size]

There's nothing I like more than a warm slice of rhubarb pie, but I wouldn't touch the leaves of this root veggie. Rhubarb leaves contain oxalic acid, which cause
illness and can lead to kidney stones. It would take a large serving of leaves (about 11 pounds) to kill you, but eating any amount has the potential to make you sick.





[size=20pt]Fugu[/size]

Fugu, also called puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy. Fugu is poisonous, however; and a chef must be specially trained and licensed to prepare the fish (the test to pass is eating a piece of the fish they cooked!). The tiniest bite of this fish can cause paralysis and death by asphyxiation from the tetrodoxin held in its organs and skin.



[size=20pt]Cashews[/size]

Raw cashews contain urushiol, a chemical found in poison ivy. While cashews sold in stores have actually been steamed to remove this toxin (even if they say they are "raw"wink, consuming a large amount of the moon-shaped nuts if they have not been sterilized could be dangerous. If you are allergic to poison ivy, a much smaller amount could cause a serious reaction, potentially fatal.
[size=20pt]Cassava[/size]

Cassava, also called yuca or manioc, is a tuber root vegetable used frequently in African and South American dishes. If the cassava is not cooked thoroughly or is eaten raw, it will become hydrogen cyanide in the body and could lead to death. About 40 mg of cyanide, found in 2 kg of fresh cassava root, could kill a cow.

Romance / Boy In China Reportedly Sells Kidney To Purchase Iphone And Ipad by eghost247(m): 9:05am On Apr 07, 2012
A teenage high-school student in China sold his kidney for an illicit transplant operation and used the proceeds to buy an Apple iPhone and iPad, state press said on Friday.

The 17-year-old boy, who was paid $3,500, was recruited from an online chat room and is now suffering from kidney failure and in deteriorating health, the Xinhua news agency said.

A surgeon and four others have been arrested and are facing charges of illegal organ trading and intentional injury.

The kidney donor, only identified by his surname Wang, agreed to the April 2011 operation in the central province of Hunan without his parents' consent, the report said.

One of those detained was a hard-up gambler identified as He Wei, who acted as a middle-man between a hospital worker and the teenager.

Health ministry statistics show that about 1.5 million people in China need transplants, but only around 10,000 transplants are performed annually.

The huge gap has led to a thriving illegal market for organs.

afam4eva: MTN needs to take a cue from Glo and Etisalat. Who the hell knows Davido? Most of them probably just know his music and that's it. When you want to make someone the of a product, you use someone who's face is recognizable and popular. That's what Glo did.

Romance / How To Crack A Shy Girl by eghost247(m): 2:36pm On Apr 06, 2012
Be Friendly Not Scary

Shy people can feel intimidated if you’re too boisterous. If you tend to wave your arms about when you talk, you could scare her off as your gesticulating hands move into her personal space. As much as you want to appear fun to be around, if you come across as too intense she’ll write you off, thinking you’re just not compatible with her.

Open the conversation with a smile, but try to make it look friendly rather than like the malicious grin of a Halloween pumpkin. Modulate your voice so that it’s not too loud and doesn’t vary wildly in pitch, so you come across as comforting. Shy women will open up once they feel comfortable with you.
What to Talk About
It’s best to start the conversation about a boring, general topic that doesn’t require her to answer personal questions. If you’re at a party, ask her how she knows the host. At a club, talk about the music or how hot it is. Before the conversation gets too dry, find a common interest or tell a funny anecdote – for example, if you’re talking about music, tell her that whenever you put that kind of music on at home, your dog barks along to it. If you tell that story though, you better hope you end up at her place, because you don’t want her to get to yours and realize you don’t have a dog. Gradually step up the topics to more interesting and personal ones, so before she even notices, she’ll be having a fantastic time chatting to you.

Whatever you do, don’t mention that she doesn’t talk much. She already knows, and won’t appreciate hearing it.



Mirror Her Body Language

To put her at ease, try to copy her stance to a degree. If you come across as too confident, it will backfire – but it’s a fine balance. If you mirror her too well, you will seem shy, and the interaction could get awkward. You can be yourself, but a less animated version of yourself.





Initiating Physical contact

Touching is an important part of flirting – but if you start too early, she will want you to back out of her personal space. Wait until she seems comfortable with you, and make sure any touching is light at first. Try brushing against her arm or leg to test how she reacts. If she goes tense or doesn’t seem to do anything, slow down and proceed with caution. If she moves closer, you can figure out what to do next!
