From EW.com:
Brett Eldredge is throwing ‘em back in the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly’s 3 Rounds With… webisode series. Here’s the formula -- an interviewer extracts truth, while he and a celebrity knock out three rounds of alcoholic beverages.
It turns out even whiskey on the rocks; a martini; and vodka, water and lime can’t get Brett to reveal why he shaved his beard for his forthcoming video for “Wanna Be That Song.” Along the way, he does spill the T on his former life as a singing wedding DJ as well as on Frank Sinatra, Thomas Rhett and how excited his 18-year-old self would be over the number of pairs of socks he owns.

From RawStory.com:
It's a holy book, it's $2.99 and it might just save religion among young people.
"Bible Emoji: Scripture 4 Millennials" was released Sunday in the iBooks store. It's exactly what it sounds like: an adaptation of the King James Version of the Bible using internet slang and emoji, the adorable emoticons frequently used in text messages and tweets. Translated over the past six months by a person who identifies himself or herself only as the sunglasses-guy emoji, the objective of the emoji Bible is to make the text more appealing to people of various backgrounds and age groups.
"[Emoji are] language-agnostic — they allow you to convey an idea to anyone, regardless of what language they speak,” the creator told the Memo exclusively. “A major goal of this whole process was to take a book that I think is very non-approachable to lay readers and try to make it more approachable by removing a lot of its density."

LADY LAKE — A burglar was caught Friday after his getaway vehicle — a golf cart — landed in a Lady Lake pond, police said.
Police officers responded Friday to a golf cart that was partially submerged in a pond off of Silver Oak Avenue and eventually determined that a nearby home on Silver Oak Avenue had been broken into. The house backs up to the pond and officers spotted golf cart tracks in the front yard that led down to the pond.

From Independent.ie:
According to the poll of 1,734 lottery players logging onto the international lottery website lottoland.ie, 19pc of punters would bid adieu to their other-half if they won a big jackpot.
Participants in the online survey who indicated they were in a serious relationship for at least a year were asked if they would remain in a relationship with their partner if they won a multi-million euro jackpot.
While the majority said a massive windfall wouldn't make them end their relationship, almost one in five said they would happily "consciously un-couple" if they came into big money.
Almost a quarter of those who stated that they would leave their lover if the money was right admitted they would use their new-found wealth to upgrade their choice of partner.
They agreed that money would make them "better equipped and able to find a better suited partner".

From CNBC:
Sick of your roommate's annoying girlfriend? Tired of paying way too much for a crappy apartment?
Maybe it's time to move back in with your parents.
For the first time in 130 years, that's the most popular living arrangement among adults, aged 18 to 34, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of census data.
Nearly a third of millennials live with their parents, slightly more than the share of their age group who live with a spouse or partner. For this age group, the researchers say, this is the first time that living at home has overtaken living with a spouse since the U.S. Census began keeping track in 1880.

This earpiece is a real smooth talker.
Waverly Labs has created a device called The Pilot System, which translates English, French, Spanish and Italian in real time. This means when someone is speaking to you in any of these languages and you don’t understand what they are saying, all you have to do is put the device in your ear and it’ll translate what that person is saying as they say it. It’s like Babel fish from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy IRL.

A 29-year-old man claims he was playing a game of hide-and-seek when he climbed the roof of Carroll Redemption Center overnight and shimmied 20 feet down its chimney, where he got stuck.
At 10:50 a.m., when firefighters broke a hole through the chimney and pulled Jordan Kajewski out, the man was naked and covered in soot.
It’s unclear when or why he disrobed. His clothes were with him inside the chimney.

Manama: A Saudi bride was divorced shortly after the marriage ceremony when she ignored her groom and kept chatting with her friends on her mobile.
“Following the marriage ceremony, the groom took his bride to the hotel where they had booked a room,” a relative said. “However, as soon as the bride was in the room, she kept using her mobile. Her groom tried to get closer with her and become more intimate, but he was shocked when she ignored him, not responding to his words and action. When he asked her about the reasons, she answered she was busy communicating with her friends who were congratulating her on her marriage on the mobile. The groom asked her to delay the messages, but she refused and became angry. When he asked her if her friends were more important than he was, the bride answered that they were,” the relative said, quoted by Saudi daily Al Watan on Tuesday.

One Reese's candy to rule them all
The Hershey Company appears to be rolling out a new product for fans of its Reese's line who hate to compromise. No official details have been released, but Hershey has been using Facebook to tease a new Reese's Peanut Butter Cup that's filled with Reese's Pieces. So meta.
Responding to a request for comment, a Hershey spokesperson would not provided much information. But, they offered coy confirmation that the product is in the works.

recently attended an ex-colleague's wedding where, in response to a request for cash gifts, I sent what I thought was a pretty decent cheque (£100 if it matters, though I can't help feeling it shouldn't)
Last night I received an email which opened with a few comments about how glad they were to see everybody and how generous they'd all been, then said "we were surprised that your contribution didn't seem to match the warmth of your good wishes on our big day. In view of your own position, if you wanted to send any adjustment it would be thankfully received"

Driving can be infuriating. Someone tailgates you, swerves in front of you, or won’t let you in when you need to change lanes. Traffic grinds to a halt on the highway when you’re already late for work. One guy’s blinker is still flashing incessantly five minutes after he turned, yet other drivers won’t use their blinkers at all. Are you feeling hot under the collar yet?
According to data from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), the number of fatal accidents caused by road rage or aggressive driving has risen dramatically since 2004. And these numbers don’t even take into account non-deadly accidents or other less serious (yet still scary) incidents.
The rise of social media has given motorists new ways to vent their driving-related frustrations – a much better option than expressing anger while behind the wheel. To learn more about commuters’ frustrations, we analyzed 65,535 Instagram posts hashtagged #RoadRage to find out where, when, and why American drivers are feeling most aggravated. Want the details? Keep calm and read on.

Brace yourself, America: Your favorite restaurant has more than 180 locations, more than 250 menu options and somewhere around 70 rotating varieties of cheesecake to try.
Yup, The Cheesecake Factory was named America’s favorite casual dining restaurant in the annual Consumer Picks survey from Nation’s Restaurant News. The online survey collected 4,805 responses from diners about their experiences with more than 173 brands nationwide, and reviewers gave the chain especially high marks for food quality (and by “quality,” we’re guessing they might mean that Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake).

The tech that forever changed the way we live, work, and play
Think of the gear you can’t live without: The smartphone you constantly check. The camera that goes with you on every vacation. The TV that serves as a portal to binge-watching and -gaming. Each owes its influence to one model that changed the course of technology for good.
It’s those devices we’re recognizing in this list of the 50 most influential gadgets of all time.
Some of these, like Sony’s Walkman, were the first of their kind. Others, such as the iPod, propelled an existing idea into the mainstream. Some were unsuccessful commercially, but influential nonetheless. And a few represent exciting but unproven new concepts (looking at you Oculus Rift).

A Frenchman who claims he was given so little to do at work he suffered “bore out” is taking his case to an employment tribunal on Monday.
Frédéric Desnard says his managerial job at the perfume company, which made him redundant 18 months ago, was so tedious he became exhausted and literally bored out of his mind.
The 44-year-old said his “descent into hell” was similar to a burnout, but less interesting.
In what is believed to be the first case of its kind in France, Desnard is seeking €360,000 (£282,000) in compensation and damages – including holiday pay, he says, is due.
French press reporting his claims have taken the unusual step of using the English term “bore out” to describe what Desnard, who lives in Paris, claims to have suffered.

Starbucks is shorting cold drink lovers by loading up on ice cubes, and one thirsty Illinois customer's so pissed about it ... she's filed a lawsuit.
The issue, according to docs ... is not getting the advertised amount of beverage. For example, a venti is supposed to be 24 ounces, but the suit says more often you get as little as 14 because "large pieces of ice take up more space."
It's hardly rocket science, but the slighted customer is seeking damages in excess of $5 million.

From Thrillist:
If you think saying, "sitting is the new smoking," is alarmist, unscientific tripe, you need to spend more time reading health research. If that's not your speed, maybe you'll believe Mayo Clinic professor of medicine Dr. James Levine, who's told the world that sitting is more dangerous than smoking.
Either way, sitting too much is bad! As a sports medicine specialist, I can tell you there are other not-so-pleasant side effects when you set your bum in a chair for too many hours at a time. Sitting all day can cause things like neck pain, low back pain, knee pain, excess body fat around your middle, and poor flexibility in the legs and hips. At the young age of 30 you could find yourself feeling like an overweight, frail old person who's ready for a cane. Not a good look.
Fortunately, if you're someone who has to work a desk job, there's a super-simple exercise you can start doing right now to help counteract the negative effects of all that sitting. This exercise is the yoga squat, and all you have to do is take a few minutes to stand up from your desk every hour, and squat using the directions and picture guide below. Or even better, in addition to yoga squatting, also start taking short walks every hour to give your body a break from all that sitting.
