We explain the difference between subscribing to the Ather 450X versus buying it at full price.

I have been thinking about lima beans and ham hocks so much I could almost taste it until yesterday when I was walking through thy blessed MILPAS UNDERPANTS and saw a huge pile of Lima Beans and bits of Ham splattered on the sidewalk in front of a camp. Now I cannot get that odor out of my nose and I almost added to it. I think I will stay on this side of my MILPAS UNDERPANTS a while. I just thought I'd share…

ENG vs SA Dream11 Prediction : South Africa Vs England Best Dream 11 Team for Second T20 Match
SA Vs ENG Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11, Toss, Pitch And Match Report: Hosts step out with aspirations of wrapping up the series today.After a cliff-hanger of a series opener, the action resumes with the second T20 taking over the cricketing fraternity after just the space of a day. Given the way the first encounter unfolded, we are bound to be immersed in yet another humdinger between two worldclass units.The match contested on Wednesday was a pure thriller, a crackling contest which persistently changed hands before finally nestling South Africa’s way. England’s approach in the last two overs was baffling with the visitors ruing what should have been a relatively easy win as they failed to chase down 7 runs in the final over to see South Africa defend their 177 by the sole run. Where England will be left dejected after that display, the hosts on the other hand will be immensely buoyed by the composure they showed to seal a tie which looked to be a lost cause. They’ll be bolstered ahead of today’s forthcoming…

Unmukt Chand dismissal vs Brett Lee: The Daredevils’ opening batsman had no answer whatsoever to the legendary fast bowler.During the first match of the sixth season of the Indian Premier League between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils in Kolkata, Delhi Daredevils opening batsman Unmukt Chand was found wanting against Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler Brett Lee.After the then KKR captain Gautam Gambhir won the toss and chose to field, the visitors sent in Chand and David Warner to open the batting against the likes of Lee, former South Africa all-rounder Jacques Kallis and former India pacer Laxmipathy Balaji. Chand, who was facing the first delivery, faced an absolute jaffa from Lee which he had no answer to. Undone by the outright pace, a clueless Chand lost his off-stump as he had to walk back to the pavilion without getting off the mark.Barring captain Mahela Jaywardena scoring 66 (52) with the help of eight fours and a six after coming in to bat at No. 3, no other Daredevils batsman contributed…

Universal Confirms That Nirvana, Beck, Soundgarden, Slayer, More Masters Were Damaged Or Destroyed In 2008 Fire
Last year, in a massive feature, the New York Times reported on a musical-history loss that had been kept largely secret. In 2008, a fire at the Universal Studios Florida lot raged through and devastated a warehouse where Universal Music Group had been keeping decades' worth of master recordings. Many thousands of those masters — irreplaceable high-quality original recordings of songs, both iconic and forgotten — were reportedly destroyed. Universal kept this quiet for more than a decade, never alerting the artists, who, at least in some cases, were the legal owners of those masters. And now Universal has been forced to admit to some of the damage done in that fire. According to Rolling Stone, Universal has filed documents admitting that master recordings from 19 artists were destroyed or damaged in the fire. This was part of the discovery process in a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of many of the musicians whose music was reportedly lost. The list includes some truly important
Boys Noize – “Girl Crush” (Feat. Rico Nasty)
Are we about due for a blog-house revival? It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it? Alexander Ridha, the German DJ and producer who records as Boys Noize, came up in the that whole mid-'00s wave, and he's been working steadily ever since. He's also become a prolific collaborator — working with Frank Ocean on "DHL" and with Skrillex and Ty Dolla $ign on "Midnight Hour." Today, Boys Noize has a new single out, a collaboration with the festival-wrecking rap energy-bomb Rico Nasty. The combination makes sense, Rico Nasty's single greatest collaborator is Kenny Beats, a veteran of the EDM universe, and Boys Noize records often have the kind of trashy energy that she can project. But "Girl Crush," the new Boys Noize/Rico collab, isn't really a Rico Nasty song. She doesn't rap in it. Instead, she purrs about a girl she likes over a pulsing electro beat. It's not doing a lot for me right now, but I could imagine it going off late at night in a room where everybody is on cocaine.
