What Do You Know About MSG?

Letter To Family And Friends Of Girlfriends Talk From Founder And Editor 窶的N Chief

Hello everyone, another month down already. I hope you all enjoyed that month of Love & Art issue featuring Frank Morrison. I love his work. I hope to visit his Art museum in NYC one day.

Columbus has been going hard. The underground hip-hop scene has been busy, are you supporting? This month Pusha T, Slick Rick, Dylan and Cash Out will be stopping through the city. I also hear Platinum artist Kendrick Lamar will be coming through soon too. Make sure you support Ev Jones the new American Dream/ Sony signed artist who will release " Full Disclosure" this month.

Shout out to Derrick Lorand and Ohio State Hip Hop Literacy Conference, I'm so hurt I miss the opportunity to meet YOYO! I love my old school artists. As long as the program was successful, this way it allows us the opportunity to look forward to another year, with more artists.

As you all know I am not with The Truth radio at WUGR anymore. I will use this time to tighten up, catch up and work to get better at my craft. Like any one else I will continue to support anything and anyone doing good and positive things. Like I said, there are a lot of things going on around the city, get out and support!

Did You Know???

Columbus ranked No. 7 for women entrepreneurs (Information credited to Columbus Business First)

Do you feel like you’ve found “the one” in your job? Do you wake up excited to work? Do you work through the weekends because you’re absolutely thrilled about the difference you’re making?

Plenty of entrepreneurs are much happier once they decide to strike out on their own to follow their own dreams. But if you still struggle to start working in the morning, maybe it’s time to make some changes.

Columbus is the seventh-best city for women entrepreneurs, according to a ranking by Forbes.

The list ranks Columbus No. 7 for its median annual earnings for women and number of SBA loans in 2011 and 2012. Ohio's 25 percent growth in women-owned firms between 1997 and 2012 also bodes well for women looking to start a business in Columbus, it says.

New York City was No. 1 on the list with a growth rate of 31 percent and SBA-approved loans of $42.3 million.

Columbus was also recently named the best city for working mothers by Forbes.

Amber Rae, founder of The Bold Academy, a life accelerator designed to help individuals lead the lives they want, recently wrote a great article for Fast Company asking people to really look at their days to help them understand if they’re doing what they’re supposed to be doing with their lives.

Here are Amber’s eight signs that you’ve found “the one” in you work: • • • • • • • •

It doesn’t feel like work.

You are aligned with your core values.

You are willing to suffer.

You experience frequent flow.

You make room for living.

Commitment is an honor.

The people who matter notice.

You fall asleep exhausted, fulfilled and ready for tomorrow.

Puffy Eyes

Eye puffiness is a type of fluid build-up (oedema, also known as dropsy) in the tissues around your eyes, called the orbits. Therefore, the steps taken to reduce puffiness are similar to those taken to reduce any kind of swelling. The following are "quick fixes" to temporarily encourage fluid to drain away from under your eyes.

Rinse your face in cool water and pat dry.

Get enough sleep. If you have puffy eyes all day, it could be that you're simply not getting enough sleep, or the quality of the sleep you are getting is poor. Puffiness under the eyes is a common symptom of sleep deprivation.

Elevate your head when you sleep. It's not unusual to have puffy eyes upon waking. A possible explanation for this may be that when you are laying down for several hours in a horizontal position and then stand up, the fluid that was resting under your eyes is suddenly being pulled down by gravity. This swelling, however, should subside shortly. To reduce it, you can try elevating your head while sleeping so that the fluid is not as drastically drawn down when you get up.

Cure puffy eyes from the inside out. Puffiness is a manifestation of excess fluid retention. By addressing your body's tendency to tuck fluid away, you may be able to indirectly reduce swelling around your eyes.

• • • •

Reduce your salt intake. A high intake of sodium may increase your fluid retention, in which case reducing the salt in your diet may produce good results (not only for your eyes, but also for your health in general).

Snack on bananas and raisins, both of which alleviate fluid retention.

Consume cabbage or cranberry juice. Both are diuretics, which will help you "evacuate" some excess fluid. Don't turn to caffeine as your diuretic of choice, as it can interfere with sleep and bring back the puffiness.

Exercise to improve circulation, which will help your body move fluid through your body, rather than letting it accumulate.

Determine if you have any of the conditions associated with puffy eyes. Sometimes the swelling is a side effect of another condition, which is temporary, or must be treated individually.

• • • • • •

Pregnancy - commonly associated with fluid retention Hormonal variation in the menstrual cycle - commonly associated with fluid retention Dermatitis - sensitive skin is more likely to swell in response to irritants Allergies - can cause leaks in the subcutaneous capillary beds around the eyes Mononucleosis - puffy eyes may be an early symptom of infection Medication - puffiness or water retention could be a side effect More serious medical conditions - see Warnings below

Accept yourself. If you've checked with your doctor, then your puffy eyes are probably only a cosmetic issue. It happens with age, and sometimes it just happens. Learn to draw attention to other features that haven't aged, such as the color of your eyes, the curl in your hair, or your attitude towards life.

Ev Jones releases “Full

Disclousure”

The word that comes to mind after attending Ev Jones " Full Disclosure " album release party would be "BRAVO"!!! This night was put together extremely well and it brought out all the right people and by this I mean people who actually came out to embrace and enjoy the music.

The event host was Qamil Wright who opened up the evening with a few ballads herself. I first met Qamil during an interview at WUGR. She is such a graceful songstress and entertainer. I thought she was setting the tone for what was to come next but to add to the night there were a few treats, MJ the Star and Roxie. MJ The Star surprised us with some oldie but goody cover songs. He took some people back with Earth Wind & Fire's "Do You Mind", Prince's "Purple Rain" and Marvin Gaye's " What’s Going On" ending his set with his own song "Party Time". Roxie …this beautiful woman with the powerhouse voice was great. She did a few cover songs as well, like Going In Circles by Friends Of Distinction, also covered by the man himself Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing " and If Only You Knew " a Patti LaBelle classic. As the guy sitting next to me saying through his clenched teeth …"she better not mess this song up"!!!

At this point I’m already having a great time, in fact this evening was one of the best evenings I’ve had in a long time.

After the preshow performances a band along background singers appeared as Ev Jones makes his entrance sporting a wine color blazer, a self-title logo shirt and a pair of chucks… I guess you can say this was the male version of sexy, crazy, and cool! The ambiance of the room just turned up!Ev Jones staying true to the R & B game added every ingredient took to entice ones taste buds, leaving us yearning for more. After a few songs he was guided by a woman in a evening gown.

I seen Lyrical Goddess and Scopes and got excited, thinking they were about to perform also, because they are dope …but it was a false call! Ev Jones returns to the stage in a tuxedo . He credited the look to his manager Christina Scott. All I have to say about that is… "A WOMAN KNOWS!!!". As he continues to woo us with more music he had the nerve to aim that hypnotic R&B towards me!!!

The highlight of the night…the part that opened every heart up in the room , even the men. Is when Ev Jones serenaded his mother with " I Nominate You"! It was beautiful, I seen a few tears from a few people. What better way to end the evening? So once again, I say Bravo Ev Jones for a Job well done!!! Much success in all you do and congratulations to you signing with American Dream/ Sony.

Health

Monosodium Glutamate

Although the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that MSG is generally safe, monosodium glutamate used in processed foods to enhance flavor can cause adverse reactions in people sensitive to MSG, such as headache, dizziness and heart palpitations. Refusing to eat foods containing MSG is the only way to avoid these symptoms, according to MayoClinic.com.

You will also need to look out for foods that hide MSG under one of its many aliases, such as yeast extract and "natural flavors."

Foods Containing Glutamic Acid MSG is the sodium salt of glutamic acid. Whenever a food label lists glutamate, monopotassium glutamate or glutamic acid, the food always contains MSG, according to Vanderbilt University. If sodium hydrogen glutamate is on a food label, the food also contains MSG because sodium hydrogen glutamate is the trade name of MSG, according to California State University.

These foods tend to be canned and processed soups, and precooked frozen meals.

Cut down a bit of stomach fat every day by never eating banana, corn, ‌ Nothinkdiet.com Foods Containing Caseinate Unless you are buying fresh fruits and vegetables and cooking your own meals with fresh fish or meat from the butcher section of your grocery store, check the ingredients list of the other foods you are considering buying for the ingredient caseinate, sodium caseinate or calcium caseinate. MSG hides under these names and, if you are sensitive to MSG, eating such foods may cause you nausea, excessive sweating, flushing, heart palpitations, a feeling of numbness or tingling in your face or chest pain. MSG also hides under names that sound natural, such as broth stock, malt extract or bouillon.

Foods Containing "Natural Flavors" Many processed foods, even those with "no MSG" on their labels, do contain MSG under another name. Common names for MSG include "natural flavors," "natural flavor" and "flavoring." Look for these names, or other MSG name substitutes, such as natural beef flavor, malt flavoring, seasoning, enzymes, chicken flavoring or natural chicken flavor. Be wary, if you are sensitive to MSG and experience burning sensations in your arms or neck, dizziness or headaches after eating certain foods, of foods whose labels simply list "spices."

Foods Containing Yeast Extract Any food containing yeast extract always contains monosodium glutamate, or MSG, according to Vanderbilt University. The word "yeast" is commonly used to avoid listing the ingredient as MSG. Alternate names may be listed as yeast nutrient, yeast food or autolyzed yeast. Another name for MSG, according to Bastyr University, is hydrolyzed protein. Any ingredient listed as protein-fortified or hydrolyzed, fermented, enzyme-modified or ultra-pasteurized often contains MSG or creates glutamic acid during processing, according to Vanderbilt University. Other hidden names for MSG are whey protein, soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate and textured protein.

Salty Snack Chips Many savory snacks contain MSG, including Doritos, Cheetos and other cheese-flavored snack foods. If you are looking for a MSG-free snack food, Frito Lay brand Sun Chips are MSG free, according to the Frito Lay website.

Soups Many commercial soups use MSG as a flavor enhancer. Read food labels to limit your intake. To avoid MSG you can make soup at home with MSG-free broth, fresh vegetables, noodles and cooked meat.

Luncheon Meats Many brands of luncheon meats also use MSG as a flavor enhancer. Try using fresh meats on your sandwiches or look for MSG free brands. Boar's Head brand offers a natural line of MSG-free luncheon meats that includes turkey, roast beef and ham.

Chicken Products Chicken products such as chicken nuggets, chicken tenders and chicken sausage, may also be a source of MSG. Avoid these foods when dining out if concerned with MSG. Instead, choose foods made from fresh ingredients and request MSG not be added to your meal.

Sauces Many sauces, especially Asian inspired, contain MSG, including soy sauce, fish sauce, curry sauce and teriyaki sauce.

Justin Timberlake released his third solo album after almost 7 July 26, 2013 years. Unimportant critics gave his album three and a half stars out of five. After such a long hiatus …in my opinion the album is another JT classic. He sealed the deal with the smash single "Suit & Tie" featuring Jay Z and a hot video.

July 28, 2013 Following up with a multi city tour. He has been busy promoting himself, showing up everywhere from the Grammys and Saturday Night Live to a weeklong residency on Jimmy Fallon and a surprise show at South by Southwest, July 31, 2013 while streaming his new album for free on iTunes for the past week.

August 4, 2013 Critics also referred to the album as more of generically shimmering of love jams and by having Jay z on the album made it seemed more like mutually beneficial business arrangement than a meeting of musical minds. You would August 6, 2013 think after crushing industry projections, by selling 968,000 copies in its first week and easily topping the Billboard 200, would hush those naysayers. Worldwide, 20/20 reportedly sold over 580,000 copies on iTunes alone — the best firstweek album sales ever for the retailer. Also, scoring the best August 8, 2013 sales week for a male artist since Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III, Timberlake earned third-biggest week for a solo male singer (aka: non-rapper),After 11 years in the music business I August 10, 2013 believe JT can and has held his own!

Lyrical Goddess

First thing I noticed about Lyrical Goddess was her confidence.

The first time I seen her perform was at Burnzies and she blew me away. I just wasn't expecting the bold sultriness and the winding and grinding on the stripper pole that was up on the stage. Her lyrics demanded attention , as her attitude said" look at me!"

Lyrical Goddess who's real name is Daleah Wilson, is one of Columbus, Ohio's very own singer and songwriter.She has been singing since thee age of 4 and writing since she was 11. Her style is versatile and very unique. She can write anything from rock, to jazz but her heart lies in r&B. She describes her sound as edgy, raw, real, and full of attitude. Songs like "U Deserve Better", "Wifey" "XXX" and "Be Da Shit" is just a taste of Lyrical Goddess and a warning to anyone that may under estimate her.

Lyrical Goddess featured on Power 107.5 Local spotlight has also been in over 50 shows ranging from open mics to exclusive showcases in the past year around Ohio. She was picked as one out of 13 finalists at the New York Urock Tour Showcase in which she opened up for Maybach Music Group.

10 Things You Didn't Know about Sex: • A chemical called squalene can be found in the vagina and....SHARKS! • The anus produces its own lubrication and even a little more so during arousal, however it is not enough lubrication to accommodate anal sex.

• The latin word vagina means sheath or scabbard for a sword. (Makes sense to me.)

• Studies have shown that celery can cause a man to become aroused and also cause him to give off pheromones attracting the women around him.

• Sex is a natural antihistamine.

• Regular sex increases your pain tolerance AND boosts your immune system!

• Cigarette smoking has been linked to penis shrinkage.

• Just one little, tiny sperm contains a whopping 37.5MB of data in it!! That's just insane to me.

• Proper anal sex does not hurt. If you experience discomfort, this means you need more lubrication, your partner needs to be more gentle, or you need to relax more. We store a lot of stress in our internal anal sphincter. A tense internal sphincter will make anal sex uncomfortable.

• The University of Texas Medical Branch found that certain sexual lubrications such as Astroglide and Vagisil had ingredients that kill HIV. (But be sure to still practice safe sex!)

13 Tips For Your Best Body You know that diet and exercise are important when it comes to creating your best body, but you may be overlooking other techniques for getting into the best shape. Turn the following 13 simple tips into habits and watch as your body transforms.

1) Eat a Smart Breakfast.Most people load up on carbohydrates and simple sugars for breakfast. Cereal, pastries, smoothies and juice are all poor choices when it comes to starting your day off right. Center your breakfast around protein and healthy fat, and you'll have energy for hours. Try a protein shake, eggs, lean breakfast meat, or a handful of nuts.

2) Get More Sleep.If you're not getting at least 8 hours of sleep each night then you could use more sleep. This is especially true if you've reached a plateau with weight loss. Give your body the 8 hours of sleep each night and make weight loss easier.

3) Just Do It.If you're really ready to achieve your best body ever, then dig down deep and commit. As Woody Allen famously said, "80% of success is showing up." This is absolutely true when it comes to fitness. Show up to your workout. Even if you're tired. Even if you'd rather be doing something else. Just do it.

4) Plan Ahead.Take one day each week to plan your healthy meals for the following week. You don't have to do all the shopping and cooking on that day, simply jot down what you plan to eat. This small act of planning ahead will keep you on track with healthy meals even when the week gets crazy busy.

5) Cut Out Gluten.Many people don't realize that they have a certain level of sensitivity to gluten, which causes intestinal inflammation and bloating. Also, gluten-filled foods are typically high in carbohydrates, which contribute to weight gain. When you cut gluten-filled items from your diet don't fall into the trap of simply replacing those items with other high-carb items. Choose nonpackaged, whole foods instead.

6) Believe In Yourself.Do you believe that you have what it takes to transform your body? If you want to succeed in weight loss then you have to believe that it's possible. Give yourself a pep talk and dig down deep for the courage and discipline to apply these healthy changes to your life.

7) Eat Less Dairy.Dairy products like cheese or cream add extra fat and calories to your meals. Pass on the dairy and you'll eliminate unnecessary calories, making weight loss quicker.

8) Sleep and Wake at the Same Time.This tip sounds so simple, and yet it's a powerful way to increase your daily energy. Get your body on a schedule and watch how much more productive and energetic you become.

9) Include Veggies at Every Meal.Most people aren't too crazy about vegetables, and probably eat less than they should. Make it a point to include a vegetable with each of your meals – even breakfast. The increase in fiber and other nutrients will give your body that extra boost that you're looking for.

10) Ditch Packaged Food.Throw out those packaged foods! This is one of the easiest things you can do to achieve quicker weight loss results. Packaged foods contain chemicals and additives that will slow your fitness results.

11) Drink More Water.Being hydrated is key when it comes to creating your best body. Drink water throughout your day and limit caffeinated beverages to once daily.

12) Forget Artificial Sweeteners.Sure, these sweeteners don't contain calories, but they are known to increase your appetite and cravings for carbohydrates. In the quest for your best body, put down the diet soda and reach instead for some water.

13) Exercise With a Pro.Are you exercising as efficiently as possible? Do you challenge your muscles enough during each workout?

Are you keeping the routine new and fresh? These are all factors that will be taken care of for you when you work with a trained fitness professional. Working with a pro ensures that you make the most of your exercise time.

So there you have it, 13 tips that will take your results up a notch.

Nutritional Analysis: 77 calories, 4g fat, 76mg sodium, 1g carbohydrate, .5g fiber, and 8g protein

Aries Horoscope (March 21-April 20): Work may be piling up this month march 2013, dear Aries, largely because you are putting much energy into fixing problems and revising old work. However, opportunities abound for you to increase your income. Ideas may be best left in the incubation stage.

You're more likely to find success if you wait to launch new projects later, as all of the details are not yet clear. The 12-14 can bring a discovery of a lost resource or the re-emerging of someone from your past. The 22nd brings a feeling of emotional renewal.

Taurus Horoscope (April 21-May 21): The month of march can bring great personal opportunities, dear Taurus. Personal popularity, especially with friends, runs high. The 12-14 can bring successful social events, travel opportunities, and special announcements. Your thinking is long term and you are craving a sense of permanency. Nevertheless, you have some adjustments to make in your love relationships and/or relationships with children. Revelations regarding these matters occur around the Full Moon on the 8th. You'll be longing for more down time and solitude in the last week of March 2013. Listen to inner signals and get extra rest.

Gemini Horoscope (May 23-June 20): You begin March at a yearly career peak, dear Gemini. You may not know the direction in which you are headed just now, but you are certainly bringing more creativity and spunk to the professional table. From the 12th forward, take greater care when communicating your observations and needs. Make your true intentions known in order to minimize misunderstandings. While your love life is becoming more private and may involve some personal sacrifices in March, mid-month brings strong energy for attraction and possibly the revival of an old relationship.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21-July 20): Love and friendship are tied together in wonderful ways this month march 2013, dear Cancer. Cementing a bond with a friend or love interest may be tricky, and might require a pledge to live in the moment, but rewarding. Nevertheless, communication mix-ups are probable this month march 2013. Aim to be especially clear or to sidestep making decisions until you are ready. Don't commit unless you are certain you can follow through. The last week of March brings a burst of new and excitable energy to your career, and you are anxious to create a buzz.

Leo Horoscope (July 21-Aug. 22): Opportunities to increase exposure and to gain recognition for your unique style of expression and creativity are strong this month march 2013, dear Leo. While an increase in income may not be realized until May, you are laying important groundwork for future pay raises.

The discovery of untapped resources or areas of drain can help you create a new and improved budget.

Go over all details carefully. A money-making idea may need refinement before it can be set in motion.

March is strong for career, public relations, and stabilizing your life in important ways.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may be dealing with significant delays when it comes to your personal plans this month march 2013, dear Virgo, and this gives you the opportunity to slow down long enough to make important refinements. Tame impulsiveness and aim to work at the things you do best rather than taking on new endeavors, just for the time being. You will be tending to others' needs much of the month, and your ability to adapt quickly will strongly affect your success. Watch for overspending in March. Take more time to assess your needs and wants.

Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Work can be demanding but also invigorating in March, dear Libra. Some restlessness with your current routines is stimulated now, largely due to uncertainty about where exactly you are heading professionally speaking. Focus on doing your best instead of allowing a lack of direction interfere with productivity. In time, direction and purpose will be revealed. Some impulsiveness in the relationship department can lead to confusing or unpredictable situations. Letting go of unhealthy relating patterns is essential in order to move forward. Good news can come in the areas of taxes and loans mid-month.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): March is very strong for love relationships, dear Scorpio.

Opportunities arise to spice up an existing or old connection, or to attract a significant relationship.

There is no need to make sweeping decisions just yet, but important groundwork can be laid now. Some of you may revive an old friendship. A partner may come into some extra money this month march 2013. Work can involve some mix-ups and slowdowns. Going over work that you thought was complete may be necessary. Stay as flexible as possible and allow for last-minute changes of plans and schedules.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22-Dec. 20): Work can pose some challenges in the form of delays this month march 2013, dear Sagittarius, but opportunities arise to improve working conditions. Stimulating social connections can be made through business contacts. Be cautious when it comes to mixing personal and professional arenas, however. Misunderstandings can be plenty in March, and you'll want to avoid "bad press". Offers may come from a previous employer or industry mid-month. Home and family matters are well starred in March. It's a strong period for strengthening bonds and taking charge of the household.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 21-Jan. 20): Romance and creative self-expression are strong areas for you in March, dear Capricorn. Others are seeing your value, and admirers are many. Friends can be especially supportive this month march 2013, and you are happy to return favors. Your social life is improved and in focus, while more worldly ambitions temporarily fade into the background. It may be difficult to focus your attention, but you may very well benefit emotionally from this change of pace.

Branch out, make connections, and tend to family matters, which may be a little hectic in the last week of March.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 21-Feb. 18): Much joy can be found with family and in the home environment this month march 2013, dear Aquarius. It's easier to balance professional and personal endeavors with minimal interference between the two. More money may be spent on enhancing comfort,

management in March, as there can be some problems with offers falling through or unexpected expenses this month march 2013. Know your limits.

Ohio Missing Children

Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 18-March 20): You are likely to feel "large and in charge" this month march 2013, dear Pisces, and you're bound to wear your increased confidence and independence well. It's a very strong month for your social life in general, although close partnerships require considerate attention and care. Business and money-making ideas in the last week of the month may very well be golden, but take at least a few weeks to sort out the details before launching entirely new initiatives.

While unique and creative ideas are vital, patience and planning are the authors of most success stories.
