First of all, I would like to make it clear that this keif is as wholly unnatural coloured as Strawberry Cisco, which led me to believe this would be less like "wine" and more like a chemical laced carcinogen cocktail. After pouring two glasses the smell of this hooch filled the room with its disgusting odour. Not a good start at all. The liquid is clear and a near-flourescent red. Further inspection of the label concluded this was being passed off as "grape wine with citrus spirits" and had a abv of 17%. Throwing all caution to the wind, we tipped our glasses and drank. The sickly sweet taste of this stuff was reminscent of cough syrup. It didn't taste like grape wine at all and the flavour was obviously there to hide something much more sinister. Furthermore, while MD 20/20 "Red" actually tasted like wine, Wild Irish Rose did not even try to trick you into thinking this was actually made from fermented grapes. The "red" splashed prominently on the label is not an actual flavour or indication of this bottle's contents. I would hate to see what the "white" version of this stuff would taste like without the "red" flavouring to cover it up. This stuff literally tastes like a chemical cocktail with plenty of sugar to cover up what it is really made from. I cannot even fathom the long-term effects would be of a stint with this Irish gal, nor even what a single bottle may do to you if consumed in one sitting. Seriously, if given the choice between living under a bridge and having Irish Rosie to look forward to every night or simply hanging myself, I'd choose suicide without a second thought. This one is to be avoided unless you really are curious what it is like to get plastered wino-style. there's ony one Riddem we can say goes with this Wine! Enjoy.........Blesssings STN

Not Guilty???? Casey Anthony Aquitted!
A Florida jury has found Casey Anthony not guilty of murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
The jury of seven women and five men in Orlando did find the 25-year-old Anthony guilty of giving false information to a law enforcement in connection with the case. The jurors returned the verdict after more than 10 hours of deliberation.
Update at 3:56 p.m. ET: Jurors told the court that they didn't want to talk to the media at the courthouse, the AP reports.
Update at 3:39 p.m. ET: In addition to being acquitted of first-degree murder, Anthony was also found not guilty of manslaughter and aggravated child abuse.
She faces up to four years in jail when sentenced Thursday on four counts of providing false information. She has already spent three years behind bars, so she could be freed that day if the judge sentences her to less than the maximum and credits her for time served, the Sentinel notes.
Update at 3:35 p.m. ET: The Orlando Sentinel has video reaction to the verdict.
Update at 3:28 p.m. ET: Anthony wept after the clerk read the verdict, the AP says. She hugged attorney Jose Baez and later mouthed the words "thank you" to him.

USA TODAY
Update at 2:50 p.m. ET: A second Anthony lawyer, Cheney Mason, said he was "disgusted" by hearing legal pundits and lawyers engaging in "media assassination" on television by discussing the case without knowing anything it. He says he hopes they have "learned the lesson."
Update at 2:32 p.m. ET: She hugged her attorney afterward, and a prosecutor shook his head in disbelief. She could have received a death sentence if she had been convicted of first-degree murder.
Update at 2:26 p.m. ET: As each acquittal verdict was read, Anthony started to break into a sob, but held back. She occasionally took deep breaths as the rest of the verdict was read.
Update at 2:23 p.m. ET: The judge said Anthony will be sentenced on Thursday at 9 a.m. ET on the conviction of giving false information to law enforcement officers.
Update at 2:22 p.m. ET: Anthony quaked as the verdict was returned and wiped tears from her eyes.
Original post: Jurors in Orlando have reached a verdict in the murder trial of Casey Anthony, the Associated Press reports.
The verdict will be read at 2:15 p.m. ET.
Anthony, 25, is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in June 2008 by covering her mouth in duct tape. Caylee's body was found six months later in woods near the Anthony home.
Lead defense attorney Jose Baez told the jury that Caylee accidentally drowned and that Casey's father, George, helped Casey cover up the death to make it look like a homicide.
Casey Anthony never testified, and George Anthony denied any involvement in Caylee's death or the disposal of her body.
The prosecution team said Casey Anthony dumped Caylee's body in the woods and resumed her life of partying and shopping. She could receive the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder.Live video of Verdict click here!......Blesssings STN

Happy Birthday 2 pac Shakur (bio)
Rapper, actor. Born on June 16, 1971, in New York, New York. Shakur has become a legend in hip-hop and rap circles for his talent, his violent behavior, and his brutal death. The son of a Black Panther activist, Shakur moved around a lot as a child. In his youth, he explored acting by becoming a member of the 127th Street Ensemble, a Harlem-based theater company.
As a teenager, Shakur attended the Baltimore School for the Arts, where he took acting and dance classes, including ballet. While living in Baltimore, he discovered rap and began performing as MC New York. In the late 1980s, Shakur and his family moved to the West Coast. He joined the Oakland, California-based hip-hop group Digital Underground, which earlier had scored a hit with the song "The Humpty Dance."
In 1991, Shakur emerged as a solo artist — using the name 2Pac — with his debut album 2Pacalypse Now. The track "Brenda's Got a Baby" reached as high as number three on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. His second album Strictly 4 My N. I. G. G. A. Z. crossed over to the pop charts, with singles "I Get Around" and "Keep Ya Head Up." The album went platinum, selling more than a million copies. Around this time, Shakur also appeared in several films, including Poetic Justice (1993) opposite Janet Jackson.
2Pac became quite a sensation, earning praise for his musical and acting talent as well as condemnation for his explicit, violent lyrics. Many of his songs told of fights, gangs, and sex. He appeared to be living up to his aggressive gangster rap persona with several arrests for violent offenses in the 1990s. In 1994, he spent several days in jail for assaulting director Allen Hughes and was later convicted of sexual assault in another case. Shakur himself fell victim to violence, getting shot five times in the lobby of a recording studio during a mugging.
The next year, after recovering from his injuries, Shakur was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in the sexual assault case. His third solo album, Me Against the World (1995), started out in the number one spot on the album charts. Many critics praised the work, noting that tracks like "Dear Mama" showed a more genuine, reflective side to the rapper. The possibility of an early death runs through several songs on this recordings — something that many have seen as a chilling moment of foretelling.
After serving eight months in prison, Shakur returned to music with the album All Eyez on Me (1996). He was reportedly released after Death Row Records CEO Marion "Suge" Knight paid a bond of more than $1 million as part of Shakur's parole. In his latest project, Shakur as the defiant street thug was back in full force on this recording. The song "California Love" featured a guest appearance by famed rapper-producer Dr. Dre and made a strong showing on the pop charts. "How Do You Want It" also was another smash success for Shakur. It appeared to be a golden time for Shakur. Besides his hit album, he tackled several film roles.
During his career, Shakur had become embroiled in a feud between East Coast and West Coast rappers. He was known to insult his enemies on his tracks. On a trip to Las Vegas to attend a boxing match, Shakur was shot while riding in a car driven by Knight on September 7, 1996. He died six days later on September 13 from his injuries. His killer has never been caught. Since his death, numerous albums of his work have been released, selling millions of copies......Blesssings STN

Nikki M. James Tears down Tony Awards
James won her award for playing sweet-natured villager Nabulungi in the musical conceived by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. As James was being signaled to wrap up her acceptance speech and exit the stage, she balked and said in response, “I will not leave this stage!” Clearly emotional, the actress compared herself to bumblebees and said the comparison was true “because nobody told them they couldn’t. I come from a long line of bumblebees, and I’m grateful that nobody told me I couldn’t fly.” ........Blesssings STN

Black Bike Week Memorial day celebration!
Black Bike Week is the annual Memorial Day weekend gathering of African-American motorcycle enthusiasts.
It has also become the time when members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People hold “Operation Bike Week Justice,” a time when the organization monitors discriminatory practices in Myrtle Beach.
During the three-day weekend, NAACP teams will be observing police activity and treatment of black tourists, monitoring the practices of local businesses, watching traffic patterns and fielding calls via an incident hotline.
A press conference will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 26th at Myrtle Beach City Hall outlining the plan for the weekend and the strategy for monitoring the city.
“Any form of racial discrimination against Black Bike Week visitors will not be tolerated,” said NAACP Vice President of Stakeholder Relations Nelson B. Rivers, III, and a native South Carolinian.
“Closing businesses or refusing to provide equal services to Black Bike Week visitors that are provided to visitors at other times of the year, not only makes no economic sense, it is against the law.”

Kanye and Jay z " watch the throne" finished?
After a stint as a 5 song EP, hype from a bizarre range of celebrities, an expansion to a full album, a polarizing Lex Luger-produced single, passings of rumored release dates and news droughts that caused even the most faithful of fans to lose hope… evidence of an imminent release for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaboration album Watch The Throne has finally surfaced.
Earlier tonight, RapRadar.com’s Brian “B.Dot” Miller announced through his Twitter account:
“Breaking News: Jay-Z got a hair cut.”
Joe La Puma of Complex Magazine later echoed this news via his Twitter:
“And B.Dot’s not lying, that can actually be considered ‘Breaking News.’”
For those unaware, Jay-Z’s hair is a good indicator of the status of his current project. Jay usually lets his hair grow while working on the project and cuts it only when he feels it is complete.
This news comes a few weeks after producer Jeff Bhasker confirmed the next single to be “Lift Off” featuring Bruno Mars and Beyonce.
While an exact release date has still not been officially announced, this is strong evidence that work on Watch The Throne has completed and a release is imminent for this exciting collaboration.

You can learn how to dress just by jocking my fresh
Jocking jocking my fresh
Jocking jocking my fresh
Follow my steps, it's the road to success
Where the niggas know you thorough
And the girls say yes
But I can't teach you my swag
You can pay for school but you can't buy class
School of hard knocks
I'm a grad
And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap
