With their shovels, spades and hoses in hand, residents of a one-way street on Buffalo's West Side have a new rallying cry:
"Bring back the brick."
The brick in question is the weathered brick road that city paving crews partially uncovered Monday on Ardmore Place, behind Lafayette High School.
Workers laid those bricks more than 100 years ago, in the first decade of the 20th century, and they've been covered by layers of asphalt and blacktop for more than 40 years – until Monday, when city workers removed the blacktop layer and enough pieces of asphalt to reveal the hidden treasure, which dates back to the horse-and-buggy days.
Ardmore Place residents are thrilled. They've been out on the street, chipping away at the asphalt layer, hosing off the decades worth of grit and waging a public-relations campaign to bring back their brick street.
Lots of reasons: because the brick street would be unusual on the West Side, giving the street a charming, rustic look; because it would slow down traffic, making it safer for young children; and because it would provide an added sense of character, as a tribute to a bygone era.
"We're not old-fashioned," longtime resident Dom Parisi, 84, insisted Tuesday. "I like modern stuff, but I also like things from a different time, when there was a slower pace, everybody knew each other, and you didn't have to lock your door. Now everything's so rush-rush."
Renee Wiedemer, president of the Ardmore Place Block Club, said she's "absolutely passionate" about bringing back the bricks, in part because the city has lost so many parkways, buildings and other historic treasures.
The effort to restore the brick surface also has been a huge unifying force on Ardmore, which runs from Baynes Street to Richmond Avenue, one block north of Lafayette Avenue. From preteens to octogenarians, residents have taken to the streets to chip away at the asphalt cover and hose down the weathered bricks.
"This is something we're excited about, that brings the street together," Wiedemer said. "It all adds up, brick by brick."
City officials said they're evaluating the condition of the bricks, to see what the restoration would cost.
"What's been exposed seems to be in good condition, but we want to expose more areas," City Public Works Commissioner Steven J. Stepniak said late Tuesday afternoon.
"We're definitely very interested in the history of Buffalo," he added. "This is a unique situation, so we'll do our diligence to see how much restoration is needed and what it would cost."
Wiedemer, the Block Club president, is asking the public to join the Ardmore Place cause, by showing up starting at 8 a.m. Saturday with a shovel or spade to remove the asphalt.
Roger Vullo, 60, has lived in a brick house on the street for the last 25 years. He believes that his home was built between 1900 and 1910, out of the same bricks that have been uncovered on the street.
"It's more durable," Vullo said of the brick surface, noting that it's the same type used on Buffalo's inner harbor. "It's more Buffalo. It is Buffalo."
Patty Parisi-Lupke, Dom Parisi's daughter who voiced the "Bring back the brick" mantra, said that keeping the old brick street would make Ardmore Place stand out, almost like a piece of artwork, compared with the cookie-cutter street surfaces in most of the city.
Ardmore Place residents didn't rediscover the bricks until late Monday afternoon. Dom Parisi was sitting on his porch, when Eric Bauer spotted the red brick under the asphalt.
Wouldn't it be great, Bauer asked, if they could restore the street back to its brick surface?
Parisi then called the Mayor's Office, launching the streetwide effort to start removing the asphalt.
"What we've been able to uncover, 90 percent of it looks beautiful," Bauer said, citing the few rough spots that might need some repair.
Rich Lupke, Parisi's grandson and Parisi-Lupke's son, admired the time-worn color that surfaced once all the grit had been hosed off.
"I kind of like the weathered look," the 24-year-old said. "I think it looks great, with the half-red, half-black, rustic look. If it was brand-new and jet-red, I don't think it would look as nice."
Longtime Ardmore Place resident Leila LaSpisa, after consulting with her 89-year-old mother, Linda Maggio, estimated that the bricks were paved over in about 1969 or 1970.
"I remember when my mother was very upset the first time they did it," she said. "She said today she's threatening to lie down in front of the (paving) trucks" if the city tries to repave the street.
LaSpisa thinks her mother was kidding but quickly added, "She's that passionate about it."

The 5 Most Badass Man vs. Nature Showdowns Ever Photographed
It's easy to forget how ludicrously terrifying the natural world can be, and how very small we are in the face of it. When confronted with the grand, humbling, massive and occasionally deadly power of our planet, what can one measly little human being do? Run? Cry? Not these people. These people saw all the might and majesty of Mother Nature laid out before them and said: "Eh. Pretty sure I can take the bitch."
#5. The Eternal Lightning Fields
In Venezuela, just above the mouth of the Catatumbo River, a lightning storm has been raging for at least two centuries. I know that sounds like science fiction, or some hackneyed fantasy villain's lair -- but it's real. For 160 nights out of the year, the Catatumbo lightning strikes for 10 straight hours, at a rate of nearly 300 strikes per hour. Short of trees growing in the shape of a human skull or a good ol' screaming bog, that is the single best way Nature knows to tell you a place is cursed.
And it's freaking populated!
Thousands and thousands of people swung by the Earth's only eternal storm, plunked down their packs and said, "Welp: Looks like as good a place as any to settle down and raise some kids." But simply living beneath an electric sky wasn't nearly hardcore enough for the owner of this shack:
He didn't just buy property in the Lightning District; he moved out into the water, constructed a tiny hovel in the middle of that giant bathtub with God's old toaster perched permanently above it and then built himself a metal roof.
I don't know who the owner of the world's least insurable home is, but I know where you can find him: standing on his front porch with thimbles on both of his middle fingers, drunkenly flipping off the gods.
#4. The Storm of the Century
It seems like we, as a global culture, only recently came to understand just how terrifying and destructive the ocean could be. Sure, we were aware of how serious ocean-based disasters were objectively -- but subjectively, a lot of us didn't really take it to heart. We failed to grasp that the ocean is like the Earth's Wite-Out: a tide that occasionally, almost casually, washes whole countries away. I think that's because we didn't have the right visuals, but that all changed with the recent tsunamis and their extensive video coverage. Now we finally understand the ocean, and the horrible destruction of which it is capable.
Well, some of us do, anyway. Others see the unleashed potential of countless billions of tons of surging water and think, "Man, wouldn't it be funny if I rode that?"
In late 2004, Cornwall, England, suffered through several record-breaking storms: 70 mile an hour winds, flooding, waves so large they crashed over the promenade -- but the vast and bottomless rage of Nature is nothing when compared with human boredom. So here's some dudes surfing it:
Look at the size of that breaking wave in relation to the surfers. They're so insignificant that the ocean didn't even mean to kill them; that's just how Poseidon steps on ants. To think you could possibly survive (much less ride) something like that takes not only a complete misunderstanding of physics, but a total failure to grasp the basic concept of scale itself. That's the biggest storm the world could throw at you, and you tragically mistook it for a vehicle. But holy shit, you're doing it! You're reall-
Oh. Yeah, I guess that's about how you'd expect things to turn o-
Jesus, dude. That looks like a frog getting hit by a truck. It looks like it actually went worse than I initially thought, and I initially thought you'd wipe out so hard that you'd literally cease to exist in the annals of human history.
I never imagined your leg would bend like that, though; that's messed up.
#3. The Nyiragongo Volcano
Volcanoes are pop culture shorthand for evil. Need to signify somebody's an evil badass? Volcano lair. Need to smelt up some corrupting rings? Volcano forge. Got too many virgins lying around and Waste Management Services refuses to do curbside pickup? Volcano sacrifice. It's perhaps the single most terrifying landmark on the planet. Here's a guy casually strolling across one.
National Geographic
"H-hello? I'm trying to get to the Jamba Juice on Hawthorne, is this ...? Shit. I am literally as lost as anybody could ever be."
That's an expedition member walking on freshly cooled lava in the Nyiragongo volcano. But don't worry, the ground isn't actually glowing like hellfire itself -- that's just an optical illusion. The ambient red light is merely the reflection of the giant lake of still-molten lava just out of frame. The photographer described being inside the volcano as "a constant, low frequency rumble -- like being inside a giant subwoofer."
I assume he then added, "... made out of liquid fire."
I assume he then added a little bit of pee.

Ryan Tannehill threw a pair of touchdown passes and rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein missed a 66-yard field goal try as time expired, as Miami defeated visiting St. Louis for the fifth straight time.
Tannehilll threw a 29-yard scoring pass to an uncovered Marlon Moore as the Dolphins (3-3) scored 17 straight points to win their second straight game. The rookie also threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Anthony Fasano.
St. Louis had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, but although Zuerlein's kick appeared to have the distance, it missed to the left.
The Rams (3-3) took a 6-0 lead on a pair of field goals, but Zuerlein then missed consecutive field goal attempts - the first misses of his pro career - and Miami led 10-6 at the break despite being out-gained by the Rams 294-99.
Sam Bradford scored on a dive from a yard out and then converted the two-point play on a pass to Steven Jackson to cut the deficit to 17-14 with 8:51 to play. St. Louis got the ball back but Bradford was sacked with under a minute to play by Olivier Vernon, adding several yards to Zuerlein's game-tying attempt in the final seconds.
Game notebook: Tannehill was 21-for-29 for 185 yards. Bradford was 26-for-39 for 315 yards. …Zeurlein converted his first 15 field goal attempts of his career, a St. Louis rookie record. The streak was snapped when he missed a 52-yarder in the second quarter. He then missed again right before halftime. … Dolphins RB Daniel Thomas missed the game with a concussion. …The Rams gained 162 yards on the ground. Miami entered the game ranked No. 1 in the NFL in rushing defense.

Stubbornness and persistence are traits the Buffalo Bills will need in heaping doses this week against the San Francisco 49ers defense.
The running duo of Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller is essential to the Bills' success, but the 49ers have the most dominant run defense in the NFL.
San Francisco has allowed just one 100-yard rusher in its last 44 games, that being ex-Bill and current Seattle Seahawk Marshawn Lynch on Christmas Eve last season. The Niners led the NFL in run defense in 2011, yielding only 77.3 yards per game. They allowed just three rushing TDs all last season, the fewest since the NFL went to a 16-game schedule in 1978.
"Something we definitely noticed already is how relentless San Francisco is, how physical they are, how aggressive they are," said Bills tight end Lee Smith. "They're a hard-nosed football team. You know you're in for a dogfight. That's what it's all about. This week we truly have to fight on every play."
An over-reliance on quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick does not look like an ideal response to the Niners' dominance vs. the run. San Francisco has star pass rushers in All-Pro defensive end Justin Smith and edge rusher Aldon Smith. The Niners' tied for second in the NFL last year in interceptions with 23. Teams that totally abandon the run game generally have been pummeled by the 49ers.
"That front seven is the best front seven we'll see all year," said Jackson. "There's gonna be 1- and 2-yard runs. We can't let that discourage us. ... We'll get some 4- and 5- and 6-yard runs here and there. Hopefully in the end it all balances out and we're moving the ball effectively enough that we don't get away from the run game."
Teams that kept a semblance of balance and avoided turnovers have been competitive vs. the Niners. In Week 16 last season, Seattle rushed 27 times and lost by two. In Week 14, St. Louis rushed 25 times and lost by seven. In upsetting the Niners two weeks ago, Minnesota rushed 41 times for 146 yards. The New York Giants showed great patience on offense in beating the Niners in the NFC Championship Game last January. Despite averaging just 3.3 yards a carry, New York still ran 26 times and won, 20-17.
Niners inside linebackers Patrick Willis and Navarro Bowman both made the Pro Bowl last year. They stay in the game in the nickel defense, which the Bills will see for the most part. They're good enough to cover most tight ends one on one, which helps the rest of the pass coverage. Linebacker Ahmad Brooks usually stays on the field in the nickel defense, too.
"It's as good a tandem as there is in the league, really," Bills coach Chan Gailey said of Willis and Bowman. "They are big, strong, physical. They play pass and run, they do it all. They're very, very good players."
"They play downhill," said Bills center Eric Wood. "They're not gonna do a lot of fancy stuff. I think they think that fancy stuff can get 'em beat. And they've got good enough players that they can line up and play with anybody."
So far this season, the 49ers rank fifth against the run, yielding 79.5 yards per game. They have allowed only 32 percent of opponents' run plays to gain 4 or more yards.
The Bills are averaging 4 or more yards on 53 percent of their run plays, if you take away six Fitzpatrick kneel-downs at the end of a half or game. Spiller is averaging 8.3 yards a carry.
"We just gotta keep pushing and finishing our blocks," said guard Andy Levitre. "After a certain amount of time, I don't know when, we'll start getting more and more yards. As an offensive line, we have to keep your legs running, finishing blocks to the whistle and let the running backs hit the hole. I think that's helped us be successful in the past."

Designer's Tip: The adhesive sheets work great with any manual die cut or electronic cutting machines, such as the Epic Tool or the CAMEO. This way you don't have to apply glue to all of your intricate die-cut shapes, just simply peel and stick! I also love the ability to cut intricate shapes such as letters and use any patterned paper.

Jessica Chastain has musical dreams after playing punk rocker
The Zero Dark Thirty star learned to play the bass for her role in the spooky film and was upset when a performance scene was cut. But the lessons she took have encouraged her to follow her music dreams.
She says, "I took bass lessons for about a month and I learned this song. Then, a week before we shot it I heard that the song was changed. Then I learned that. We shoot it (performance) and the camera goes from one band member to the next and then finally to me and the whole song has been played and (director) Andy (Muschietti) goes 'Cut!' I'm like, 'Andy you showed me three seconds playing the bass and I spent five weeks learning how to play!'
"I really got into the music as Annabel and I was listening to a lot of punk music – Lou Reed, the Misfits. Now I really want to do a musical."
Chastain, who received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for Zero Dark Thirty on Thursday morning (10Jan13), is currently on Broadway in hit play The Heiress.

The STL File Format
The STL file format is the Rapid Prototyping industry's standard data transmission format and is the format required to interact with stereolithography machines. Stereolithography files contain solids which are made up of 3 sided facets. STL files may be ASCII or binary data, although binary is far more common due to the resulting size of the CAD data when saved to the ASCII format. A STL file describes a raw unstructured triangulated surface by the unit normal and vertices (ordered by the right-hand rule) of the triangles using a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Many CAD systems are able to output the STL file format among their other formats, but very few have the ability to import STL files.
Sycode Software Licensing TermsOur licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

Although she was "on her iPhone until the class started," once things got underway, she was "really bouncy and dancing to the music."
"She had a big smile on her face," the source adds.

My friend just bought his first gun, a Rock Island M1911, for plinking and little else. He does not want to invest in a gun safe and does not plan on buying more guns. Is putting two quality padlocks on the hardcase the gun came with and then putting in the back of a closet enough security?

|Registration and Academic Guide 2015-2016
Registration Tips
Carefully read all the instructions for registration. Each class section has a distinct Course Reference Number (CRN). Be careful to select the correct CRN for each class on your worksheet. If you enter an incorrect CRN you will get an incorrect class. To avoid possible day/time conflicts, carefully layout your schedule before you begin registering. All meeting times must be considered when selecting a lecture/lab course or classes with SLA workshops.
Do not try to register prior to your assigned day. The system is programmed to prevent students from registering before their assigned day. Also, if you have a financial, housing, health center, disciplinary, or advising hold, the system will not allow you to register until the hold(s) are released by the area that placed the hold on your record.
If the system tells you that either your student User Name or Password is invalid, you should refer to the instructions on the front page of MyFSU or contact the Technology Assistance Center (TAC) at 231-591-4822.
You cannot register for classes requiring a department permit or an override for a closed section. You will need to contact the appropriate departmental office for approval and enrollment in these classes.
Students must satisfy course prerequisite requirements before the system will allow registration to take place. Some ways to accomplish this are: (1) pass the prerequisite course with the required minimum grade in a previous semester, (2) transfer the equivalent course, (3) be currently enrolled in the prerequisite course, (4) have the required minimum ACT or SAT score indicated.
If you register for a class with variable credit, the minimum number of hours will be entered into the system. Should you elect to take more than the minimum hours, you will need to have that request processed at the appropriate departmental office.
The system will only allow you to register for a maximum of 19 credits. If you are on academic probation, you are limited to a maximum of 14 credits. To register for more than the maximum amount of credits allotted, you must receive approval from your academic advisor or dean's office.
Remember the importance of protecting your registration records. Keep both your student User Name and Password confidential.
Users of the FSU registration system are expected to respect the right to privacy of each individual. A student's User Name and Password are the property of that student and are to be used only by that student. Any misuse of the system may result in discipline, including but not limited to, termination of access of the system, suspension, dismissal, legal action, or other disciplinary action.
Non-Degree Student Registration
Retention and Student Success Unit RSS provides part-time students with a streamlined way to early register for classes on the FSU campus. An admitted student wishing to enroll in a non-degree status, may register through the RSS Student Services Office located in Arts and Science Commons (ASC) 1048. Enrollment is restricted to a maximum of 9 credits per term and a total of 15 credits as a non-degree student. To early register, follow the steps listed below. In order to register for classes, you must be currently admitted to FSU. If you are not already admitted to the University you can complete the process by accessing Ferris website to complete an on-line application.
You may receive advising assistance and have your advising hold cleared by contacting RSS Student Services Office in ASC 1048 or calling 231-591-3716 to talk to an advisor. If you are a continuing student, you may register anytime on or after your assigned registration date or during late registration. You can find your registration date on your student MyFSU account.
If a student determines she/he is not going to attend Ferris the student needs to drop their schedule. This can be done by the student by going on-line anytime prior to the first day of the term. After that point in time the student must contact the Registrar's Office to process a total withdrawal.
Tuition Payment
If you register at least one month prior to the start of the term, an invoice will be listed on our student computer system. If you schedule classes after that time, an invoice will NOT be sent. Failure to receive an invoice is not a basis for non-payment of tuition. You can check on-line by selecting MyFSU from our home page for your account information and pay on-line, or you can pay at the Timme Center for Student Services by the due date to avoid a financial penalty. If you do not pay the minimum charges by the close of business on the last day of late registration, your class schedule may be cancelled. If you initially register on or after the first day of the semester, a $100 late fee may be charged in addition to normal tuition and fees.

Mila Kunis does not approve of the royal "we" in certain situations. Chief among them: Being pregnant.
Kunis, 30, guested on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday, and she took mock umbrage at Kimmel's saying that he and his wife were expecting.
In fact, she used the opportunity to launch into an elaborate PSA.
"We can't have anything, because we've got your little love-goblin growing inside of us," Kunis fumes, before a bevy of pregnant women emerge from behind her to say, "You're not pregnant – we are."
Kunis apparently has had fewer issues with fiancé Ashton Kutcher – she told Ellen DeGeneres that Kutcher prepared for her pregnancy by "stock[ing] our secondary 'fridge with weird food … like anchovies and ice creams, just in case."
Watch the full clip below. And, guys, in the future, please be sure to avoid the royal "we."

Are we the real lab rats?
We get many questions here at DORway, and we try to answer as many as we can. But along with those serious questions, we get our share of finger pointing. This article is our response, as well as an attempt to answer some of the questions you're thinking, but haven't asked. Hopefully, the following will provide some answers and possibly create some new questions.
Is aspartame poisoning an urban myth? Some doctors say so, the FDA says so, and snopes says so. Why would they say it was safe if it wasn't true?
"Above all else, do no harm."
Ever hear that phrase? It's from the Hippocratic Oath. Too bad not all doctors swear in by it any more, and many don't abide by it. Where medicine is concerned, shouldn't it be about erring on the safe side and guiding people toward decisions that will better their health rather than harm it? I'm appalled by our legal and health systems, and by those who decide the fates of others without bothering to check the facts.
Consider this: If soy, a product with healthful qualities, can be damaging to your health in larger quantities, how can anyone not question possible harmful effects from a man-made synthetic sweetener that's now prevalent in more than 10,000 products and drugs?
I just don't get it.
The FDA says it's not going to hurt me. Shouldn't I trust them?
In 1980, the FDA Public Board Of Inquiry voted unanimously to reject the use of aspartame. The short version as to why? (In their words, not mine.)
- Flawed data
- Brain tumor findings in animal studies
- Lack of studies on humans to determine long-term effects
Want the longer version? Read the history timeline here on DORway, then read about the shady way it was approved, including being ramrodded through the approval process by Donald Rumsfeld, who later went to work for the PR firm representing Searle (the company that first marketed the chemical). And if that weren't enough, the Bressler Report, written by Jerome Bressler (who worked for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1977), describes numerous instances where Searle was less than forthcoming about reporting negative results. So the FDA allowed Searle to conduct and present their own tests and then to submit the findings of their choice. This, my friends, is a matter of pubic record. It's a long read, but you can check it out a pdf of the official document here on DORway.
Incidentally, there have still been no studies done on humans to determine long-term effects, but the FDA seems to have conveniently ignored that part of their initial rationale.
So my question is… why should you trust the FDA?
Scratching head…
As a last word: To those who feel the FDA would never OK something and then stubbornly refuse to remove it from the marketplace because of the negative financial impact of removing it, I have only one question: Ever hear of cigarettes?
As long as I just stick to the FDA's acceptable daily intake, I'm cool. I'm not worried.
Really? Do you know what the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of aspartame is? When it was first approved, it was 20 mgm/kgm bodyweight. Then, once it was approved for use in Coke products, for some reason, the FDA decided it was OK (without additional studies – we'll call their rationale "The Science of Politics") to raise the limit to 50 mgm per kgm body weight.
Consider this: At 20 mgm per kgm bodyweight, a 50 llb child can reach his ADI with 2 ½ cokes. You do the math.
Thanks again, FDA.
Add to that the simple fact that no one is actually required to tell you how much aspartame is in the products you're consuming – just that it's there. And then take into account the thousands of products it's now used in – from chewing gum to yogurt to children's vitamins – and what makes you think you're not in danger of reaching your conveniently readjusted ADI?
The FDA claims they are "regulating" the public intake of aspartame. Really? When was the last time you were surveyed by a government agency about your grocery shopping habits? About which drugs you're taking? Which children's vitamins you're giving your kids? Do you have someone at hand to research the quantities of aspartame in each and every product you use and then kindly add it all up to give you an update? When was the last time you saw a regulatory body standing guard over the Pepsi machine to enforce a 2,4,6 coke limit per day? Nobody is regulating anything. If you ask me, for a little green pocket lining, the people who are supposed to be protecting us are conveniently looking the other way.
In fact, speaking of looking the other way, legally, any Citizens Petition for a Ban submitted to the FDA is required by law to be answered within 180 days. Upon receiving the petition, the FDA must:
- i) Approve the petition
- (ii) Deny the petition; or
- (iii) Provide a tentative response, indicating why the agency has been unable to reach a decision on the petition, e.g., because of the existence of other agency priorities, or a need for additional information. The tentative response may also indicate the likely ultimate agency response, and may specify when a final response may be furnished.
The Citizen's Petition for a Ban on Aspartame was sent via certified mail on June 17, 2002. In May, 2003 the FDA sent a "tentative response," siting "competing priorities." To date, this petition has not been revisited and remains lost in the bureaucratic Twilight Zone, unanswered.
Want to know more about aspartame and ADI? Check out this article on DORway, or check out the study itself.
So what does aspartame do to you, exactly?
For starters, the FDA compiled a list of 92 symptoms based on over 10,000 complaints from, guess who… you, the consumer. They used to mail this list out freely, but now you can't get it without a congressman or Freedom of Information Act request.
Because aspartame is a neurotoxin, some doctors suggest aspartame may also be a factor in Autism, ADD, hyperactivity, mental retardation, and various other neurological problems in children. Check out this book by Dr. Russell Blaylock. Or check out this video and hear his own words.
Along with the above and the increased possibility of cancer, aspartame also contains phenylalanine. The law requires a PKU warning for people who cannot metabolize the phenylalanine, because phenylalanine floods the brain, lowering the seizure threshold and depleting serotonin. So next time you pick up a pack of gum and check the ingredients, if it has phenylalanine—yep, that's aspartame.
What do you have to gain from aspartame?
Not weight loss. Think again.
In fact, what you might find yourself gaining… is weight. All the numerous other potential health risks aside, a new Duke University study published in The Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health found that artificial sweeteners like aspartame and Splenda actually contribute to obesity. They also destroy beneficial intestinal bacteria and may interfere with the absorption of prescription drugs.
This is an older well-written article by a nutritionist that I found interesting. For anyone who is health-conscious or wants to lose weight, it spells it all out very clearly.
OK, but if it's so bad for you, why hasn't it been banned?
Ever hear this other phrase: "Money talks"?
So what does DORway have to gain from sharing this info?
For 10 years before his death, my father spent thousands of hours compiling research. He then spent many thousands more transcribing the documents to DORway. He then paid for DORway's bills out of his own pocket. Upon his death, I took over the upkeep for DORway – everything from paying the bills to updating the Web site to answering letters. No one paid him. No one pays me. I do it because, like my father, I just want to provide you, the public, with information. It's that simple. You make up your own minds.
On the other hand, what did Donald Rumsfeld have to gain for ramrodding aspartame through the FDA approval process? A job with the PR firm representing Searle – along with millions of dollars in compensation for his political influence.
What do the lobbyists who help keep it legal have to gain? Lots of money.
What does the FDA have to gain? Guess.
What do the pro-aspartame Web sites have to gain? Take another educated guess.
To give you just an idea how much money is at stake, Merisant Worldwide, Inc., just one of the many companies now dealing in aspartame, allegedly controls about 1/5th of the worldwide aspartame market. Their sales in 2007, according to their stock profile, were an estimated $290 million. One-fifth of the market at $290 million…
DORway actually gets hate mail for simply posting information – something the U.S. Constitution grants us the right to do. We aren't coming into your homes and seizing your diet cokes. We're just giving you a little food for thought. So why should that make anyone angry?
"Above all else, do no harm."
There's that phrase again. DORway can rest assured that we are doing no harm by providing the free-thinking public with information. But we can point to many who can't make the same claim, including snopes, who irresponsibly plants a "False" status to the statement, "The artificial sweetener aspartame has been proved responsible for an epidemic of cancer, brain tumors and multiple sclerosis."
Guess what, snopes? Just maybe there would be a shred of truth in that statement if you had just added two words at the end of that sentence: "in people." Aspartame HAS been proven to cause cancer in laboratory rats and mice – beyond a shadow of doubt. No one is arguing that point – not the FDA, not the National Cancer Institute, not even the makers of aspartame!
On August 1, l985 the FDA's own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross, told Congress one of Searle's studies "established beyond any reasonable doubt that aspartame is capable of inducing brain tumors in experimental animals and that this predisposition of it is of extremely high significance."
So they're only mice? How do you think they gauge the safety of every drug or food product introduced into the open market? When was the last time you heard of scientists using live human beings for lab testing – killing them in the testing process, then dissecting their remains to assess the damage? In fact, the safety of all products is often extrapolated from results compiled by thorough testing on other organic beings – mice, rats, monkeys, etc.
It's called science.
So shame on you, snopes. You've been given a rare opportunity to make a difference, and what do you do with it? Certainly not encourage people to do the research for themselves. No, you waste it. You essentially enter the folks who make the mistake of trusting you in a game of Russian roulette. Way to play the game.
Come on FDA, don't you think it's time to reevaluate whether aspartame still poses a "reasonable certainty of no harm"?
Many respected doctors and researchers think so.
To sum it all up, I'll cede to William Campbell Douglass II, M.D., who said it better than I can and with far more impressive credentials:
"No matter how you look at it, aspartame is bad news in my book. The massive introduction of this neurotoxin into the food supply is nothing less than biological warfare against every single one of us, and the only acceptable solution is to ban it from the food chain."

Yesterday, DailyTech
reported on Intel's
Q2 earnings. The company posted Q2 revenue of $8.7 billion USD, operating
income of $1.35 billion USD and net income of $1.3 billion USD.
Today, it's archrival AMD's turn with regards to financial
performance for the quarter. AMD recorded revenue of $1.378 billion USD, an
operating list of $457 million USD and a net loss of $600 million USD.
This compares with revenue of $1.216 billion USD and
operating income of $102 million USD for Q2 2006.
"While we made solid progress in the second quarter
across a number of fronts, we must improve our financial results," said
AMD CFO Robert J. Rivet. "We achieved a 12 percent sequential revenue
increase, improved the gross margin and won back microprocessor unit and
revenue market share."
AMD appears to have worked out problems that it had in late
2006 with OEM/channel
processor distribution and attributes 38 percent sequential increase in
microprocessor unit shipments to orders from Toshiba, an increased adoption of
AMD-based platforms and strong initial sales of the ATI Radeon HD 2000
graphics family.
"We continue to focus on realigning our business model
and reducing our capital expenditures and cost structure in the second half of
the year," said Rivet.

The Stetson softball team (0-2) dropped both its games on opening day, falling 4-1 to Michigan State and 15-7 to South Carolina in the Stetson Lead-Off Classic at Patricia Wilson Field.
A large crowd of 688 saw Hatter senior Chelsea Whalley hit a triple, a grand slam and drive in five runs against the Gamecocks (1-0). Sophomore Demi Meza also homered and had two hits on the day.
"We were playing two very good teams today," Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. "We started four freshmen and two sophomores in the game against South Carolina, and I expected them to get rattled at times, and they did. It's great experience for them. At this time of year it's better to play better teams that show you what your weaknesses are so you can work on them."
In the opener, Michigan State starter Kelly Smith struck out 10 batters over 5.1 innings to help lead the Spartans (1-0). Stetson's lone run came on an RBI single by Jordan Cleghorn in the bottom of the sixth.
A wild offensive contest in the nightcap turned out to be the highest scoring game in Patricia Wilson Field history. South Carolina (1-0) scored four runs in the first and one in the second and led 5-0 after three.
Meza hit a solo home run in the top of the fourth to put Stetson on the board. Later in the inning, Whalley drove in Courtney Brandt with a triple to center and scored on a squeeze bunt by Cleghorn.
South Carolina got those three runs back plus one in the bottom of the fourth to grab a 9-3 lead.
In the fifth, Whalley found herself up with the bases loaded and two outs, and on a 2-2 pitch drove one the other way for her first career grand slam. That pulled Stetson within two runs at 9-7.
The Gamecocks answered back again, and with one out in the bottom of the fifth, Kristen Struett hit a grand slam of her own to lift South Carolina to a 15-7 run-rule victory.
"We certainly need to get better in all areas, but I walk away positive tonight," Griffin said. "I think we are going to continue to improve, and our young players are going to continue to get experience, and that's all going to be a positive thing for the program."
Stetson will face the same two teams again tomorrow, battling South Carolina at 4 p.m. and Michigan State at 6:30 p.m.
Game Notes: Chelsea Whalley hit Stetson's first triple and first grand slam since the 2011 season ... The Hatters and Gamecocks met for the first time in 25 years ... The Hatters started three freshmen in a season opener for the first time since 2003.

My Ship is Right, Your Ship is Wrong! Please Don't Shit on Us...
According to Dzirhan Mahadzir, correspondent for noted defence magazine Jane's Defence Weekly, this is because the specifications of the vessels mentioned by Pua vary.
"Some warships he compared are less in tonnage and size than the (vessels proposed for purchase)… so it is like comparing a Mini Cooper with a four-wheel drive in price," he said in a lengthy commentary on his Facebook page.
It is also very difficult to make comparisons by dividing price by tonnage as even similar sized ships can come in very different specifications, he said.
The rest of Dzirhan's comment can be read from the Malaysiakini.com article. Maybe Dzirhan is right about Tony's over simplistic comparison.
However, this is not the most contentious point. The point is why is the government spending so much money (RM6 billion) on OPVs? What is the purpose of this expenditure? To enlarge and renew our armoury or to help build the local defence industry?
On Saturday, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi announced that the government has agreed to allocate RM6 billion to purchase six OPVs from Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd.
Ahmad Zahid said the deal would give the local defence industry a boost as at least RM2 billion of the allocation would benefit the 632 vendor companies partnering with Boustead Naval Shipyard.
As a defence commentator, it is important for Dzirhan to also analyse the capability of our local defence industry to build the OPVs. As taxpayers, we need to know what has happened to the last batch of orders from PSCI? Is Boustead Naval Shipyard resurrected from the ashes of PSCI?
If the main purpose is to strengthen our sea defence, why didn't the government call for an open tender? Shouldn't the government be accountable for such a large expenditure? The last thing we need is a government acting like a sugar daddy to the local industry. Granted that the intention is right but will it really help?
Tony's comparative analysis may not be that accurate but it does not make Dzirhan's justification reasonable enough for us, taxpayers, to accept the RM6 billion bill.
10 comments:
Every right frame of mind RAKYAT will disagree with the
RM6,000,000,000.00 bill for six ships where no one is at war with us. Please justify six billion times for us. The poor people demand that transparent answer.
Hi Khoo,
"GONG XI FA CAI" but sadly in less than 10 days of RABBIT year, there you go asking & writing PATHETIC ARTICLES again.
Hmmm...OK, OK, since you are the type of whom need HARD KNOCKS in ya head to get SIMPLE ANSWERS, pls. find below my clarifications:
1) Procurement for Military vehicles, equipments, software systems & so on should "NOT" be done via OPEN TENDER. Conducting OPEN TENDER for such purposes will only EXPOSE our country's military strength & weaknesses. This kind of PROCUREMENT ought to be kept as QUIET as possible. What's the point of PUBLICLY telling the world what our Military Defense have & lack, right???
2) You asked "Granted that the intention is right but will it really help?"
MY ANSWER: You will only understand the IMPORTANCE of this should our country be attacked one unfortunate day. After all, what the HELL do you really understand???
3) The Govt. of the day has every right to spend taxpayers money without elaborating too much. You either "SHUT THE FARK UP & ACCEPT IT" or just STOP paying TAX anymore, get it??? Stop complaining & get real!!!
4) Don't rope TONY PUA into your SILLY ARTICLE. Tony Pua talk PURE SHIT & by you roping TONY into the picture will only make 2 CLOWNS in your article (Clown #1: Tony Pua & Clown #2: Khoo Kay Peng)
Now having explained all the above, kindly remove your UNDERWEAR & slap yaself 60 times hard with it until you faint.
It's ironic to see how DUMB a person like you can really be. *Sigh*
are you sure that government buy OPV?
don't be so stupid for not make a full analysis.
so you want an open tender for military equipment supplier?
then other country will know what our military equipment and they will be more prepare
i wonder if other country such as britain,japan,US or any country in the world use open tender for their military equipment and make it to public knowledge.
hey,british submarine can't use its toilet and need to repair first.why their opposition never make it an issues to fire back their government like malaysia opposition does?
As expected by UMNO (Untuk Monyet No Otak)..... REINVENTING THE WHEEL. No wonder this country sliding backwards
- clear conscience said...
Do we, or rather Malaysia need such big defense expenditure at the expense of so many poor Malaysians who are unseen, unknown, and all the "un"s?
How much help this amount to be spent on naval ships be of use to this group of poor Malaysians?
Are we in a state of war with any neighborer or are we threatened by any? Why are we using so much public funds to benefit 632 vendors? Is this prudent to manipulate RM6 billion?
How many more billions are going to be wasted?
I am afraid our future generations are going to suffer....look at the prices of houses skyrocketing beyond one generation repayment capability. I am afraid with our depleted oil reserves, many more price increases will be the norm. Look at the inflation rate that is ongoing. Look at the cost of a cup of iced-Nescafe which now cost RM2.20 as against RM1.70 end of Dec 2010.
Zahid Hamidi does not know all these, so does the Najib government. Why? Bcoz, they are not poor enough to see that is affecting the ordinary Malaysian. When one is rich, what is another 30% increase?
Viva Malaysia & only God can save Malaysia
To Mr. Jerry Chin
What credentials has Boustead got in building sophisicated naval vessels ???? Only UMNO (Untuk MonyetNo Otak) loves to reinvent the wheel.
Are they at par with the superpowers shipbuilding capabilities? Even those offered by the superpowers are much cheaper, better firepower and surely can sail !!!
This is a program strictly to enrich cronies. Prove us wrong that our forthcoming vessels are better than the American/European/Russian ones.
6 ship worth 6 billions.
Well... if war really occur...all the enemy need is RM 60 millions (missile) to sink RM 6 billions (ship).
IF war do occur ... 6 Patrol boat won't safe Malaysia.
Which cost more; to build small ships - made in Malaysia ship build using Indon/Nepal/Burmese cheap labour like the construction industry or its weaponary to be supplied and installed by foreigners.
Our Jerry Lewis or Jerry the cat should protest when Mindef invite tender to supply helicopters - from USA, Europe and other countries
This jerry chin must be an UMNO cyber trooper putting on fake name. No one sane Chinese will defend UMNO as he is. He better bury his head in his own asshole. A disgrace!

Tuscan grill
The Tuscan is the simplest of all grills, a sturdy metal grate with legs, so you can position it over a fire. Italians in general and Tuscans in particular use these grills in their fireplaces. You let the wood or charcoal burn down to embers and shovel them under the grate. The food goes on top. More elaborate versions feature a double grate attached at one end with a hinge. You place your steak or portobello mushrooms between the grates and turn the device over when one side is grilled.
What to look for when buying a Tuscan grill: Sturdy construction; legs that raise the grill at least 4 inches above the floor of your fireplace; and grates with variably spaced bars that can hold both large and small pieces of food.

Tropical Storm Karen lost steam in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this month and did not achieve hurricane status. Weather experts at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA) say even though seasonal tropical storms have been weaker, it's still important to be prepared for the next big event around the corner.
The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) offers practical ways to protect trees from damaging high winds and violent rain, reducing the chance of property damage and costly repair.
Here are five recommended steps to get started:
• Survey property for trees showing signs of instability - ISA suggests looking for cracks in trunks of major limbs, dead branches, aged or decaying trees.
• Take action to remedy potential hazards - Inspect trees that could cause property damage before a storm hits by checking for branches that hang over the roof or those close to power lines.
• Prevent damage by being proactive - Once an issue is found, follow a checklist. Have a professional remove damaged or decaying trees. Call the local utility company to have branches close to power lines pruned or removed. Leaning trees may have root issues so have them inspected by an ISA Certified Arborist.
• Document tree value - Properly maintained trees may increase property value by up to 20 percent. An ISA Certified Arborist can provide an estimated value by inspecting your trees. Keep a good record with photos of the trees and the arborist's evaluation.
• Hire an ISA Certified Arborist - An ISA Certified Arborist can develop a master plan for your shrub and tree care. They can also best determine if broken trunks and limbs should be removed or if uprooted trees can be saved or replanted.
With more than 20,000 members worldwide and located in nearly every U.S. metropolitan area, ISA Certified Arborists can guide consumers and offer valuable perspective on protecting trees from weather damage.

USU's Jon M. Huntsman School of Business MBA Program Recognized For Its Social Media Strength
Editor's note: The following is a press release issued by the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business. This press release has been picked up by more than 100 media outlets, including The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, Newsday, United Press International and the Miami Herald.
The business organization Online MBA Page.com has ranked the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University as one of the top 25 schools in the country in social media activity.
The organization, which is a "social education community," released the "Top 100 Most Social Media Friendly MBA School Rankings for 2013" and listed Huntsman's social media efforts at #25, tied with Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business, which is ranked #24.
The publication measured social media impact in five categories: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and Google Plus. In the Twitter category the Huntsman School of Business was ranked #7 overall, with 9,119 followers. The school's YouTube channel was ranked #21.
The top three schools overall were Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Harvard Business School and The University of Pennsylvania Wharton School. The only other Utah MBA program to make the list was the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah that ranked #74.
Eric Schulz, senior lecturer and co-director of strategic marketing and brand management, oversees the school's social media efforts.
"We've had a number of very innovative students who have assisted in our efforts and helped to get us on the social media map by paying attention to what interests our students," Schulz said. "They've helped us build a vibrant and engaged online community of students, alumni and friends. There is always something going on, and we have a very active student body."
Schulz said that the school encourages its students to "own their own education," and said for many of them a key part of doing that is staying connected online.
"One metric the study didn't count is that we have more than 3,000 students involved with our Huntsman School texting program, a key way we keep students informed of career information sessions, internship opportunities and interesting speakers visiting the business school," he said.
It's not the first time the Huntsman School of Business has been recognized for its social media efforts. Sterling Morris, who graduated in May of 2012 with a master's in management information systems (MIS), was a key architect in getting the school's social media efforts off the ground. He did a study last year comparing the social media efforts of accredited business schools. The results were published in the November/December 2012 issue of "BizEd Magazine," a publication that is distributed globally to business school deans, administrators, industry partners and business professionals. That study found that in April 2012, the Huntsman School ranked 8th in Twitter followers, 15th in Facebook followers and 29th in YouTube views.
"Sterling got us off to a great start, and Jeremiah Graves and Kyle Oakeson have been continuing that work last year and this year," Schulz said. "If we are going to effectively communicate with our students we have to be paying attention to where they get their information. Sterling, Jeremiah and Kyle have helped us do that."

MARTINSBURG - Ten-year-old Baby Girl, decked out in pink hearts, pink ribbon and pink sweater - even her nails were painted pink - seemed completely unfazed by her Pet Parade debut.
The American Pit Bull Terrier was more interested in greeting several other dogs who came to take part in Saturday's Easter festivities sponsored by Main Street Martinsburg.
"She can't hear - she's never been able to hear, but she knows sign language," Natasha Row, Baby Girl's owner, said.

The Easter Bunny leads Main Street Martinsburg's Pet Parade Saturday along Queen Street to the town square for egg rolling contests.
Baby Girl also was interested to know where her buddy, Chippewa, was. Chippewa is a 4-year-old wolf-malamute mix, but mostly wolf, Row said.
"He's 98 percent wolf and 2 percent malamute," she said. "We got him from Texas through a breeder."
Her husband, Walter, was keeping Chippewa back from the crowd and the two waited to bring up the rear of the Pet Parade, which was led by the Easter Bunny down Queen Street to the town square.
A crowd of kids and parents awaited the Easter Bunny and his entourage of Pet Parade participants at the square to get their pictures taken with him and to take part in the best dressed pet, best Easter bonnet and egg rolling contests.
Four-year-old Grayson Seyle of Hedgesville was judged to have the best Eastern bonnet. She won a chocolate bunny from DeFluri's Fine Chocolates.
Inwood residents Robin and Orrill Ferguson's Cara, a seven-year-old toy poodle, was judged the best dressed pet. Cara won a box of milkbones.
John Sinnott and Jon Ford were the judges.
Several spirited egg-rolling heats were held on the south lawn of the square.
In the six-year-old and younger category, Harmon Donivan, 6 years old, of Martinsburg, was the winner, and eight-year-old Alex Hess of Martinsburg was the winner of the older class.
They both won chocolate bunnies from DeFluri's.
MaryAnn Ferro, a Main Street Martinsburg member who conducted the activities Saturday, was pleased with the turnout, which numbered more than 100, and grateful for the excellent weather.

Weather Blog: More Cold Ahead
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! So far the fall season has delivered only trace amounts of snow to Milwaukee, but several rounds of cold temperatures. In today's blog we look ahead to another blast of cold, but start with a quick brush of snow in southeastern Wisconsin.
A quick moving 'Clipper' system pushed snow showers across the state very early Sunday morning. The snow only amounted to a trace officially in Milwaukee. However, enough snowflakes fell on the cold, elevated surface of a WISN 12 News vehicle to produce a small accumulation near the windshield wipers.
A dusting of snow fell farther north in our viewing area. Residents in Sheboygan woke up to scenes like the one below courtesy of Kayla. There was enough snow to stick on vehicles and some grassy surfaces.
Snow totals from northeast Wisconsin included 3.0" just north of Marinette, and 1.5" in Hobart which is near Green Bay.
The snow in northeast Wisconsin will likely stick around into early this week with another round of cold on the way. Frigid temperatures are expected on Monday with daytime highs only in the upper 20s to low 30s in southeast Wisconsin. The RPM Future Temps map below shows the forecast temperatures at noon. I think the model may be a couple degrees too warm!
Throw in winds of 8 to 18 mph and wind chills will be stuck in the teens for most of Monday.
This push of chilly air will linger through Wednesday before temperatures moderate to around 40 or better by next weekend.
If you are curious we continue to watch the weather pattern closely, a more active part of the cycle should return in December giving us better chances for precipitation. Pinning down the cycle duration of the new LRC will allow us to make detailed forecasts weeks in advance. Hopefully the cycle duration will come into focus in the next week or so...stay tuned!
For the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News, and for updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!

A sheriff's spokesman said this morning that a deputy was responding to a traffic crash with injuries Sunday afternoon when he got into a wreck of his own.
A video from the Charleston County Sheriff's Office cruiser shows the car slowing for a busy West Ashley intersection.
But as the cruiser nears the far side of Paul Cantrell Boulevard, where it had a red light, its dashboard camera records the sound of screeching tires and shattering glass as the video frame turns sideways, then goes dark.
Obtained Tuesday after The Post and Courier filed a Freedom of Information Act request, the video shows the traffic crash at Magwood Drive about 2:30 p.m.
A westbound Honda sport utility vehicle that had a green light on Paul Cantrell Boulevard struck the passenger side of Deputy William Fawcett's cruiser. Both Fawcett and 58-year-old Lucia Crull, who was driving the Honda, were hurt.
Sheriff's Maj. Mike Stanley said today that Fawcett was headed to an accident at the time.
The video, which does not include a speedometer reading, first shows Fawcett's cruiser northbound on Savage Road, then turning left at Henry Tecklenburg Drive.
The deputy encounters little traffic in his own lane. His lights and siren are on.
Near a Lowe's Home Improvement store, a car turns toward his travel lane, but it stops short.
At Paul Cantrell Boulevard, Fawcett's cruiser approaches the intersection with no traffic in the lane to go straight. The cruiser nearly stops.
Fawcett steps on the gas, and the engine growls, but his cruiser is hit before making it to Magwood Drive. Crull's SUV is never visible.
The S.C. Highway Patrol is investigating the wreck and has not said whether any citations will be issued.

Holiday Bowl (Baylor vs. UCLA): The 2012/13 bowl slate is the worst in college football history, but this clash between the Bears and Bruins should be a dandy. Baylor finished the season playing arguably the best football of any team in the Big 12, while the potent Bruins were the comeback story of the PAC 12. Who you like in this one probably depends upon which conference you think is better. I'm going with the Big 12.
The Vision: Baylor 41 UCLA 34
Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas (Texas Tech vs. Minnesota): This game should be called the Freefall Bowl because both the Red Raiders and Gophers enter this contest skittering down Skid Row. Tech has lost four of its last five and its last two wins came in overtime, one of which was over a miserable Kansas team. Minnesota has dropped six of its last eight games and its last victory came against an Illinois team that is as awful as Kansas. But here's the rub: Minnesota has scored 14 points or less six times while Tech has scored 41 points or more seven times.
The Vision: Texas Tech 32 Minnesota 27
Pinstripe Bowl (West Virginia vs. Syracuse): This clash between former Big East foes could be interesting by the standards of current bowls. The Orange have been competitive against everybody they've played, while West Virginia, after suffering a prolonged mid-season slump, seems to be getting its groove back. Both teams can sling the football. But Syracuse is also a pretty good defensive team.
The Vision: Syracuse 36 West Virginia 35
Alamo Bowl (Texas vs. Oregon State): The Longhorns began their season with a four-game winning streak, followed it with a two-game losing streak, bounced back with another four-game winning streak, and concluded the season with another two-game skid. Will Texas start another winning streak? Oregon State sure won't make it easy.
The Vision: Oregon State 28 Texas 22
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl (TCU vs. Michigan State): If you like bruising defensive football, this game should be on your plate along with the leftover ham, turkey, dressing and mashed taters. If not, the Wild Wings Bowl may turn your lights out quicker than a heavy dose of holiday tryptophans.
The Vision: Michigan State 17 TCU 16
Liberty Bowl (Iowa State vs. Tulsa): There are all sorts of things wrong with the bowl system, and in about the middle of the list is the possibility of rematches. In this case we have a rematch between two mediocre football teams. What could possibly be more exciting. Zzzzzzz…
The Vision: Iowa State 31 Tulsa 20
Heart of Dallas Bowl (Oklahoma State vs. Purdue): Where oh where could you possibly rather be than in the heart of Dallas on New Years Day? I can think of several places. And the fact that the Cowboys will be squaring off against yet another break-even Big Ten team makes this game even more missable if not miserable.
The Vision: Oklahoma State 46 Purdue 21
Fiesta Bowl (Kansas State vs. Oregon): If styles make bowl games as well as fights, the Fiesta Bowl could easily be the best of this whole stinking slate. Kansas State is so old school that they make Weeb Eubank's Baltimore Colts look a brainstorming session by geeks at General Dynamics, while Oregon State is so radical and bizarre they make a NAMBLA gathering resemble a powwow of the Plainview Shriners. Most people figure the Wildcats won't be able to keep up in this one. Perhaps not. But it will be close.
The Vision: Oregon 35 Kansas State 28
Cotton Bowl (Oklahoma vs. Texas A&M): The Aggies may be playing better football right now than any team not named Notre Dame. But don't count the Sooners out entirely; they know how to win ugly. Still, they won't win this one.
The Vision: Texas A&M 44 Oklahoma 34

I like Cagalli from gundam seed.
not in my interest bracket though -_-
Love... is just a different kind of pain.
Naraku from inuyasha. I know hes the villian but i just think he is super hot!!
dana sterling is hot
My top three are Rukia from Bleach, Aisha Clan-Clan from Outlawstar and Riza Hawkeye from FMA. Rukia is headstrong and confident and she has a wonderful personality. I like how she complements Ichigo and can cheer him up when he is down (mainly by torturing him). Aisha is more fanservice, she is basically a jester providing comic relief; There is also the Hotsprings of Planet Tenrei episode (steamy in more ways then one). But she is useful in a fight, being a Ctarl-Ctarl and can transform into a beast. Riza is more of a tough chick, and I like her expanded role in FMA: Brotherhood; can't wait to see what they do with her tatoo.
my anime crush would kaine shiba n ichigo cant choose between the 2 there almost the same
I kill therefor I am. (Barry the chopper)
Mya Natsume=Tengo tenge Rogue= X-men Inue= bleach these are some of my favourites

Ichigo Kurosake, Uryu Ishida, and Renji= Bleach Dante= DMC= Devil May Cry Kaname and Zero= Vampire Knight Kairi= Peach Girl Shinji Taira= Rumbling Hearts Kira- Death Note Inuyasha and Genosuke from Basilisk! I think that's it! Sure nothings whole but nothing broken either Even though we both know that our loved one will never as so much look our way, we can't erase that small something within us that continues to hope in vain.

I have not had a crush on an Anime Character in a long, long while. It is something I've just grown out of I suppose, if I had to pick a character from this generation of Anime/Manga however...
Yomi from Ga-Rei Zero maybe?
Perhaps Shiki from Boundary of Emptiness.

How do I use Epson iron-on transfers?
If you've enjoyed EPSON Iron-On transfers before, you'll like these even more!
Here's why:
Cool peel process makes it easy for everyone in the family to share in creating iron-on projects!
Improved image quality and resolution!
Superior image feel and fabric texture before and after washing!
With EPSON Iron-On Cool Peel Transfers, you can transfer yourimages and photos to T-shirts, sweatshirts, tablecloths, napkins,aprons, or just about any cotton or cotton-blend fabric. For bestresults, use light colored material with a smooth texture.
It is available from the Epson Store or through your local computer retailer.
What You'll Need
Before you start, make sure you have these items:
* EPSON Iron-On Cool Peel Transfers
* Any EPSON Color ink jet printer
* Flat, hard, smooth, non-porous ironing surface thatwill not be damaged by heat.
Do not use an ironing board, wood, glass or metal.
* Pillowcase
* Item to receive transfer image (T-shirt. apron. etc.)
* Hand iron or heat press
Note: If using a commercial heat press, set the temperature for 375 degrees F and press for 20 seconds.
Creating the Image
You can use any application to create the image. Just make you that you select the "Flip Horizontal" option in the EPSON stylus Printer driver so the image will be transferred correctly onto the fabric. If your image does not include any text, you may not need to reverse the image when printing it.
Printing the Image
When you are ready to print your image, follow these steps:
1. In the EPSON Stylus printer driver select "360 dpi + Ink Jet Paper" forthe Media Type. (This setting will also automatically select 360 dpi forthe Print Quality setting.)
2. Make sure you select "Flip Horizontal" in afely to one side.Wait between one and two minutes for the transfer to coolstarting with any corner. Peel the transfer sheet away from thefabric item. Removing the paper may be more difficult if it isallowed to cool for too long.
Ironing a Small Image
Small images (4" x 4" or less) are easier to transfer than larger ones.
1. Start with the iron on one side of the transfer. Slowly movethe iron across the transfer for 5 seconds. This will securethe transfer onto the fabric item.
2. Pressing firmly, wiggle the iron over the image, moving itconstantly for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Be sure not to scorch yourfabric item.
3. Set the iron safely to one side. Wait between one and twominutes for the transfer to cool. Starting with any corner,peel the transfer sheet away from the fabric item.Removing the paper may be more difficult if it is allowedto cool for too long.
If you will be applying more than one image on the fabric,make sure they are spaced far enough apart so you can iron onewithout touching another image that has already been transferred.
Washing Your New Creation
Your new EPSON transfer creation is sturdy and machinewashable, but you can protect the color and quality byfollowing these simple washing guidelines:
Wash in cold water only. If possible, use a detergent withcolor protection.
If you are washing a T-shirt or other similar garment,turn it inside out before washing. Wash it by itself as the somecolors may run slightly the first time it is washed. If the colors run,they will usually wash out the second time the article is washed.
Remove the article as soon as the washing machine completesits cycle. Colors may run if the article is allowed to sit beforedrying.
Dry it in the dryer with normal settings.
