A Horrible N Fact about KFC

KFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire , they found some very upsetting facts. First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company has changed their name? Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC. Does anybody know why? We thought the real reason was because of the 'FRIED' food issue. IT'S NOT! ! The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organisms. These so called 'chickens' are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great for KFC. Because they do not have to pay so much for their production costs. There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the beaks and feet. The government has told them to change all of their menus so they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word chicken. I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know. Please forward this message to as many people as you can. Together we make KFC start using real chicken again.

McDonald Foie Gras Foie Gras Foie Gras means "Fat Liver" It's very very luxury menu that originates from France But this dish comes from FORCE FEEDING a goose to make them develop FATTY LIVER DISEASE.

                    Let's see the source of this wonderful dish


The geese are forced to eat.. even if it does not desire to 

The metal pipe pass through the throat to stomach .....even       if it does not want to eat anything 
To make the liver  bigger and fatter 


Cages are very small and they force the geese to stay in one position to avoid using energy, thus converting all food into fat.
How sad their eyes show up
Their legs were bloated from long standing everyday. No need to sleep because they will be caught to eat again
Although they try to defend themselves But it is useless
How sad this life is.. 

They are forced to eat until they are dead or their bodies cant stand with this 
You see... the food is over its mouth
The left who survive have crapped to be inflamed asses...blood easily come up with the shit

 Not only mouth hurt, throat hurt , all time stomach ache from the food , Fat to bloated legs , no sleep , no exercise But also no free movement for life to see the sky or river

  This your Healthy Liver like those Chicken
To get the beautiful and white liver that becomes unusually big like this   
As Liver-canned from aboard

  
STOP THE DAILY TORTURE AND CRUELTY TO THE POOR ANIMAL. 
STOP TAKING THIS DISH OR PRODUCT NOW. 
STOP THE DEMAND AND THE SUPPLY WILL END.
   

THE PRICE OF EXCELLENCE IS DISCIPLINE.THE COST OF MEDIOCRITY IS DISAPPOINTMENT"
William Arthur Ward
 
JUST THINK BEFORE YOU VISIT...   
How sad this life is..?!!

2011 FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW: DUCATI DIAVEL AMG SPECIAL EDITION UNVEILED




Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition
Ducati and AMG’s partnership is churning out new exciting products for us petrol heads. One such machine that is the result of the marriage between the Italian bike maker and Mercedes’ skunk works is the new Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition. No, this bike doesn’t come free with a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Coupe. The bike in fact costs 26,000 euros and features AMG signature bits to set it apart from the standard Diavel.
The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition will be a limited production bike but Ducati hasn’t revealed the number of bikes they are planning to make but, it seems they might make a substantial number of them to cater to those hardcore Ducati fans who are probably looking for two-wheels that match their awesome V8 powered coupes. As we all know, the engines in AMG tuned Mercedes’ have small placard with the name and signature of the technician who assembled the engine. Similarly, the Ducati special edition gets a Desmodromic cam-timing system set by hand and signed by the chap who fixed it into the bike.

The rims get five shiny spokes much like those on your AMG Mercedes. Even the seat is finished in Alcantara to match the dashboard of your car. The radiator grilles on the bike are finished in aluminium while the exhaust too have been given signature AMG look. Now, Ducati recently launched the Diavel in India. The Ducati Diavel is priced at Rs 17 lakh ex-showroom. Ducati has four showrooms across India and offers their complete range of high performance bikes to its Indian customers. Just like the AMG Mercedes, this Ducati is hand built. We like the Black and Silver colour scheme which does remind us of the glitzy and powerful AMG beasts.

Mercedes C200 - C The New Change




The C-Class is where most people begin their relationship with Mercedes-Benz. In India this is the most affordable and compact sedan on offer from the renowned company , making it the preferred car of most first-time seeker of the premium badge. It is difficult to express in words the emotions that One experiences sitting behind the three-pointed star. The company skilfully blends its 125 years of engineering expertise and some clever marketing to make the pleasure of owning and driving a Mercedes unique. So much so , that they have succeeded in making mundane jobs seem better and interesting.




As the Indian economy and spending power grows , more luxury car-makers are joining the bandwagon. Sighting the growing competition in the 'affordable' premium segment , Mercedes-Benz have given the C-Class a much-needed facelift along with a few essential engineering changes. According to the company's plan , the 2011 'C' has to keep the momentum going at least until 2013 , when an all-new C-Class will make its global appearance.
Thanks to our pals in Mercedes India we got a short spin in the new C-Class almost a month before its scheduled India launch and , in typical Car India fashion , we managed to squeeze out a complete road test. Although the German company has not officially released the technical specifications of the Indian version , here's what we observed during our short stint with the 'C'.



This is a mid-life cosmetic polish-up and not a complete make-over , so don't expect the car to grow in size , which is seen in most complete model changes. There's a new front bumper , which resembles the bigger E-Class around the snout and it also has a more prominent grille surround with the air intakes re-contoured. It loses the conventional fog-lamps , which are replaced with a set of snazzy new line of LED lights. The reshaped car is more blithe and the company claims a drag coefficient of just 0.26. The 2012 version gets a new treatment for the headlamps , which are longer and flared towards the ends , hinting at inspiration from the styling of the elder sibling , CLS. The lamps now come with Bi-xenon lights with LED turn indicators. The rear design gets a tweak as well and the tail-lights continue the LED bling.


The interior gets a thorough makeover and now has a hint of the E-Class. The dashboard looks more modern , sophisticated and a lot more appealing. The new texture feels great and the brush metal trims add to the sportiness. Sitting in the middle is a high-definition colour display similar to the 'E' and the music system switches are neatly stacked below it. The new steering loses a spoke , gets brush metal treatment and looks sportier. No pedal shifts on the steering , but you can nudge the gear stick to shift up or down. The front seats have electrically adjustable height , lumbar support and backrest and offer adequate bolstering. The rear seats , however , have a short squab , which limits under-thigh support , although the legroom and backrest angle are just about right. The infotainment system also doubles as a Sat-Nav system and can also connect to your phone using the Bluetooth. In spite of being right at the bottom of Mercedes-Benz's impressive line-up , the interior quality and overall finish is second to none.



The Mercedes C200 still sports the CGI or common-rail gasoline injection motor. It's turbo runs off the exhaust gas pressure from the engine and hence makes it more efficient than a mechanically driven supercharger. The motor still produces 188 PS of peak power and 285 Nm of torque , but is now mated with a smooth seven-speed G-TRONIC auto transmission , replacing the old five-speed unit. It constantly provides the optimum engine speed and virtually imperceptible gear changes. When changing down , the 7G-TRONIC delivers fast mid-range sprints by skipping individual gears. The CGI is a refined petrol mill , tuned to provide better fuel economy than just road ripping performance. The fuel economy has improved – driving on the highway it returned a decent 16 km per litre.
Adding pleasure to efficiency are a slew of BlueEFFICIENCY features that have been fine-tuned to minimise noise and vibration and to enhance your driving experience. Now that the C's kerb weight has gone up by 45 kg , it takes 9.42 seconds to get to 100 km/h , making it a fraction of a second slower than its predecessor and just about matches 0-120 km/h. In the standing kilometre sprint , however , the new car shaves off almost two seconds compared to the outgoing model.
Mercedes cars are always about refinement and the 'C' feels no less composed than before. There is always adequate performance at hand and a brisk unruffled drive is yours for sure. The steering holds its line competently with consistent feedback from the wheel , though it could have been more direct. The car we got was the top-of-the-line Avant Garde variant , equipped with 17-inch low-profile tyres (225/45 R17) , which did have an impact on ride comfort , although the soft suspension setting did manage to disguise most of it. Stability control is standard now in all Mercs and doesn’t grant you too much leeway , as compared to some of its competitors.


On the road what you get is a planted feel of the chassis , the quietness of the interior and a range of new equipment , creating a good first impression for buyers hunting for a sedan of this class. The new Mercedes C-Class continues to be a competent all-rounder and the sparkling star on the bonnet promises to deliver a feel-good factor for car enthusiasts in all age-groups. You are spoilt for choice , but you cannot go wrong with this car. UPDATED: The C200 CGI Avant Garde was launched on 7 September 2011 with price tag of Rs. 29 , 52 , 999 for 200 CGI Avantgarde and Rs. 26 , 53 , 000 for 220 CDI Avantgarde.

News update on I phone 5


iPhone 5 release date might be most buzzing topic among tech geeks. The rumors about the iPhone 5 launch being in October have finally been confirmed: Apple has officially set iPhone 5 launch event for October 4. The invite of the event clearly says, “Let’s talk iPhone”. It has been very smartly presented: The date is indicated as part of the iOS calendar app, the time by the clock, and the location (which is to be Apple’s campus) by the Maps icon.

Previously there had been lots of rumors about the iPhone 5 release date. Some reports were saying that it might be released in September while others were saying it might be released in October. The October 4 date was first hinted at by All Things D’s John Paczkowski last week. He reported that the new Apple CEO Tim Cook will officially announce the iPhone 5 during a special media event.

It has been reported that Apple has sent out invitations to an event on October 4 when the iPhone 5 announcement is expected. Jim Dalrymple from The Loop has posted on his blog that he has received the invitation by Apple and he will be at the event on October 4. For the very first time the event will be held at Apple’s Cupertino HQ, the famous campus address at 10am PT. Outsiders hardly ever visit the complex so seeing the company on its home turf this time is definitely going to create a rage among the media persons. Invitations are currently being distributed to select members of the press and it is being reported that a UK event is planned in the company’s Covent Garden store.

The invite of this event specifically says “Let’s talk iPhone”, besides the four iOS icons depicting the date, time and location of the venue. The company remained silent about what the ‘event’ might launch. However, it is set to be something classic. And so it seems the official iPhone 5 launch event is set to be on Tuesday, October 4, which is consistent with the day of the week of other major Apple media events. Apple has apparently blocked retail employees from taking days off the second week of October, which coincides with the rumored release of iOS 5, Apple’s new mobile operating system, and the iPhone 5.

It hasn’t been confirmed as yet whether Apple would be launching two smartphones that day or just one. The iPhone 5 release date has been the most talked about subject in recent months.
