No quiero Taco Bell
A Carrollton-based distributor serving Taco Bell restaurants in the Northeast has confirmed that it's been drawn into an investigation into E. coli poisoning that has sickened dozens of people.
But an official representing McLane Foodservice Inc. said Wednesday that it's highly improbable the company was the source of the contamination that affected people in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
"A truck backs up to our dock with cardboard boxes filled with [bagged] sliced green onions," Mr. McKay said in a telephone interview. "We unload the boxes, stack them temporarily ... then ship them out to the restaurants. We don't touch food in any way."
On Wednesday, Taco Bell announced it would remove green onions from its 5,800 U.S. restaurants after an independent laboratory found three samples to be "presumptive positive" for E. coli O157:H7, the most dangerous strain of the bacterium.
"In an abundance of caution, we've decided to pull all green onions from our restaurants until we know conclusively whether they are the cause of the E. coli outbreak," said Greg Creed, Taco Bell's president, in a prepared statement. "Taco Bell's first concern is the health and safety of our customers and employees."
The outbreak also prompted Yum Brands Inc. to temporarily close multiple restaurants. The company, based in Louisville, Ky., owns Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and other fast-food chains
Is skating Dead?
The past few week's I have got back into inline skating. I feel the pain already, im much older now so busting my ass hurts alittle bit more. Other then that I love to do it, the rush makes me feel alive. But where did all the skaters go? I have went to skate parks around dallas to find other people that enjoy it as much as I do, but thier empty.. Back in the day it was hard to find a spot to skate without it being packed. Is it dead or am I not awear of the new places to skate? It's also a good thing since I just started up again im alittle bit of a noob, which makes the empty skate parks alot more enjoyable. If anyone knows whats up,please let me know. Is there new sports that just kicks skateboarding and skatings ass? Or am I just out dated?
DIE HARD 4?
I am a big fan of the Die Hard movies, when I heard there was going to be a 4th to the installment I almost creamed my pants.What's it about? "Live Free or Die Hard" is the fourth installment of the franchise which finds hero John McClane coming out of retirement to battle an internet terrorist organization intending to systematically demolish or seize our technological infrastructure via a three-day plan. These guys will gradually step up malfunctions starting with traffic control systems, working towards economic markets, and finally shutting down key utilities like power and water, to send the U.S. essentially into a modern Dark Ages. Wall to wall action and you know alot of people are going to be taking some 9mm rounds to the chest. This is a must see movie for me, but im worried that old Bruce might not hit it out the head with this one. Maybe it that I have never seen a 51 year old man kick that much ass,who knows.. He just might pull it off.
Wii defect..
Now that the Wii has hit store's , it did'nt take long for the problems to start poping up all over the net..Nintendo has great softwear, but no one is perfect.. I have been hearing alot of people are having problems with Madden, but only in tutorial mode. In tutorial mode the game with freeze and not respound to any commands, after turning it off and back on it would boot up but not show any video. Aslo, there has been reports of a buzz sound that would often come out of the system.. I was watching the feed on G4 and they had a story about the defects of the Wii, many people called Nintendo about a start up disk .. The start up disk model was shiped out to over five diffrent store's in the states. I know its not alot but how pissed would you be if you stood inline for 24 hours! Another Problem people have been pissed about are the systems not wanting to keep the disk once you insert it. A great video has been posted on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYu6zBQGRNQ

It was all just a joke! Sorry sony!
First off I would like to say I dont owen a playstation 3 or a house.. I got a very lovely call from sony today,after my story hit the U.S.A it got big in other parts of the world. In Japan alone I had over 23,000 unique views in one day after a news station reported my story. In the U.S.A I had over 30,000 in just a few days, now some people at sony are a little pissed. Im not going into any names but a legal head at sony made it nice a clear that I need to let everyone know it was all just a scam. He told me the last few weeks, sony had over 200 calls from people concerned about their PS3.
Once again.. My house was not burned down, and I never owned a playstation 3. Thank you, and sorry to the poeple I might have made second guess Sony's responsibility for making their first prority the safety of the customers..
