I love my asian men just fine. I am asianYou two obviously don't know how to think out of the box. I also almost guarantee you two aren't asian guys but are pretending to be.
One of the chief reasons why asian men aren't perceived to be as attractive as white guys is that the western - particularly American - media has been attacking and distorting the asian man's sexuality and endearing qualities at least for a century. Beauty, and other attractive qualities are all in a big picture sense, relative and arbitrary. Most of our perceptions are under attack. Unless you've been living under a rock or are simply too naive, you should know that the Western media acts and casts roles according to certain agendas.
Why do you think we always see White guys with girls of 'color', but we never see a white girl with any men of 'color'. For example, think about the two shows "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette".
On a side note, the reason why I think you two at the top aren't asians is because most asians would know these facts. The western media can fool some people, but they don't fool most asians.

Latinas are coming up biggg time. When was the last time a blonde like girl won Ms Universe or for that matter MS. US. cant even remember uhh. Whats wrong with the picture? Probably stuck up on themselves like U Katie. Asian Ladies are simply the BEST

ok look im asian and many people say girls have no respect well thats all a lie a guy has never even gave a girl a chance to show her respect andif he does mostly it leads into sexism asian girls are more easy to persuade into all these wrong stuff an if you do have a girl that trearts you like rap then think about how you treat her because some boys dont realise the way they treat there girl
#424 Jun 20, 2012
Asian women are not easy. If you are a weak dude and ou have no game no women is going to talk to you. Whatever dude said Asian girls are nasty and whites girls are better you are a fool player. White girls fake have fake tans to get darker they cake on make o Asian girls have natural beauty and no white girl can match that on any given day. Last thing they love me long time.
#425 Jun 20, 2012
. You are exactly right Asian and Latina women are the best white girls are bitches I am sorry but it's the truth. Asian women and Latina have natural beauty . Our comment was right on.

The reason you see so many WM/AF couples is because Asian girls aren't picky stuck up bitches.
Are you a nerdy white guy who likes video games? It's okay, there's a pretty Asian girl out there like that too (way more Asian girls are into that type of thing than white girls)
Are you average looking? Asian girls don't care as long as you aren't a dick.
Not rich? Same deal.
White girls nowadays have gotten far to empowered with all this feminism crap, they have raised their standards to levels 8/10 or higher. And these good looks don't make them stuck up.
Also asian girls take better care of their bodies than white girls. 8/10 Asian girls are skinny whereas 5-6/10 white girls are medium-chubby.
If you want a hot white girl your shit out of luck if your not good looking or wealthy (or if she has self esteem issues). If you want a good looking girl in general, your way more likely to have a good relationship if you date non white.

I don't know why American girls are so picky. If they turn down every guy they meet they won't find the right man...they won't find anyone actually..It's ridiculous they don't even want to talk with guys who are not perfect, handsome or rich. What do they have to loose? American girls should change their attitude towards men oterwise they won't meet great guys.

Let's face it people: white guys are superior to Asian guys. Some of the many reasons are as follows:
1. Asian guys don't know how to respect their ladies. My girl friend once dated an Asian prick when she was 18 or so. He often forced her into performing sexual acts that she disdained, including giving blowjobs and anal sex. She hoped that he would change for the better but one day, he broke up with her, saying he already had another girlfriend. The only reason for him to remain in the relationship for the last few months was that, he was horny and needed sex. Trust me, it is just the tip of an iceberg. I have heard many more stories than this.
2. Asian guys rarely are passionate about anything that facilitates their personal growth. What do they care about except for anime, video games, Japanese porn and manga?(I am talking about those who have been raised in the Asian way. Not BBC/ABC/CBC) When talking ahout politics, traveling, religion and all those greater things in life are concerned, they would show you a blank face, not quite knowing how to respond. White guys on the other hand, know how to make the best out of their time. They know what they want and they get it! Have you ever wondered why there are no famous composers/ writers/ scientists and other people who contribute to the well-being of the whole human race, coming from an oriental background? So, tell me, how sad would it be for a girl to spend her life with an Asian guy who has no balls and dreams?
3. Size does matter. Did you know that the average size for a Korean penis is not even 10cm (4 inches)?
4. Statistically, a larger proportion of Asian men cheat on their partners, compared to their white counterpart.
Please stop blaming Asian girls. Everything is just an illustration of Darwin's theory - survival of the fittest.

It all depends on the individual. I think we all know that! Culturally, sometimes there are differences if an Asian woman has ties to the old country, but women are women, some good some bad. I'm white and love Asian women and many of their little petite figures and exotic looks, but I also love white women, Latina women, and love them sistas too. I think we all have types that we are especially attracted too and if a few more people of a certain ethnicity fits into that mold, then that's
perfectly fine and no ones f##ing business except the two people that dig each other (ya dig!)...
#435 Jun 27, 2012
Here where I live at, I have seen probably 2 out of 10 white girls not whoring around. Others sleep with any guys while their men work hard and take care of them. I see so many girls dating guys who works in mines and construction jobs who makes enough money so they are too lazy to work and when their men at work, they run around. It is very pathetic. Seriously if I was a asian guy, I would have married an asian girl too. Why would anyone want a relationship and commitment to a person who you don't know what she is doing behind your back. I am not saying all white girls are whores but 2 out of 10 is while 2 out of 10 asian girls might be whores.
As for the asian girl being easy part I totally disagree. If you take a white girl out on a date, there is a lot of them ready to have sex on their first date while it is hard to get a kiss with a asian girl. I was 21 when I lost virginity and if i tell my story to these white girls they laugh at me coz they loose virginity at the age of 12 or 13. I have slept with 2 guys my husband and my ex bf while these white girls probably sleeps with 20 or 30 at the age of 22. So guys if you didn't get a white girl don't be pissed or if u get a good asian girl don't dream of dating a white girl coz if you treat her right, you will be everything for her and she will never leave you no matter what. Good luck to all those singles to find a good girl no matter which race they are from.

Yesterday 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver slid some of the Super Bowl Attention away from Ray Lewis when he suggested that he couldn't handle a gay teammate. In Culliver's words, "I don't do gays." The Ravens who have a civil rights activist on their roster in Brendon Ayanbadejo don't feel the same, and as star linebacker Terrell Suggs suggested, the Ravens would welcome a gay teammate per Pro Football Talk. "We wouldn't have a problem with it," Suggs said. "We don't care. Our biggest thing in the locker room is to just have fun and stay loose. We don't really care too much about that. We're a football team. I said it yesterday; everybody deserves a certain amount of privacy. Who cares? Whatever a person's choice is, it's their choice. Suggs hinted that the Ravens locker room welcomes those who choose to be themselves. "On this team, with so many different personalities, we just accept people for who they are and we don't really care too much about a player's sexuality," Suggs said. "To each their own. You know who you are, and we accept you for it." Kudos T Sizzle.

Strawberry cheesecake in a jar is a portable dessert worthy of any occasion. Mason jars are filled with buttered graham cracker crumbs, cheesecake batter, and strawberry topping. For this recipe you can use fresh strawberries or strawberry preserves, depending on what you like. Whether you are having a picnic in the park or watching an outdoor concert, strawberry cheesecake in a jar is a must-have.
Strawberry Cheesecake in a Jar
Recipe Courtesy of Traveling by Food
2 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
3 tbsp melted butter
3 -8oz packages cream cheese (at room temp)
1 1/3 cups sugar
5 large eggs (at room temp)
16 ounces sour cream (at room temp)
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (at room temp)
2 teaspoons lemon juice (at room temp)
Strawberry Topping:
2 jars strawberry topping (or fresh strawberries)
1. Prepare your jars as you would for canning mason jars. Set aside being sure they do not become contaminated
2. Preheat oven to 325F
3. In a medium bowl add the melted butter to the crushed graham crackers. Mix and set aside.
4. Keeping your mixer on a low setting throughout the beating and mixing process, start by beating the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
5. Add the sugar a little at a time and continue beating until creamy.
6. Add one egg at a time and beat after each egg.
7. When eggs have been mixed into the cream cheese add flour, vanilla and lemon juice, mix well.
8. Add the sour cream last and beat well.
9. One jar at a time, begin layering the crust, cheesecake filling, and strawberry topping. I chose to do from the bottom up: crust, cheesecake, topping, crust, cheesecake, topping so you can see the layers all throughout. I did about 3-4 tablespoons of the crust, 4-5 tablespoons of cheesecake filling, and 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry topping for each jar, split into two different layers. But you can do any amount you want for each layer, just be sure to leave about an inch of space at the top of the jar since cheesecake does puff up a bit when baked. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean paper towel when finished layering.
10. Place the jars in a large roasting pan and fill the pan with boiling water, careful not to splash any water into the jars. (I also placed the roasting pan on a large cookie sheet to make it easier to move around)
11. Place the roasting pan with the cheesecake jars in the oven and bake until they no longer jiggle in the middle, about 1 hour.
12. Once finished baking, turn the oven off and leave the oven door slightly ajar.
13. After 30 minutes take the pan with cheesecakes out of the oven and begin placing the lids on the jars. Be careful to use oven mitts as the jars are still hot and you need to get the tops screwed on nice and tight. You may hear the jars make a pop noise when they seal.
14. Let the jars cool on the counter for about 2 hours, and then place them in the fridge overnight.
15. Open a jar when you're ready to eat and ENJOY!

Fun and down to earth
Hi everyone!!! I do have to admit this is weird trying to describe myself in a few words but I guess here it goes! I am fun loving, caring, honest, sometimes sarcastic, but most of the time just happy and want to have a good time type of person. I am the kind of girl that doesn't mind taking a hike on a muddy trail,going kayaking down a river, or touching a fish, however I still like just laying by the pool then heading home to shower and look nice for exciting evening out or a chill one on the couch. I love staying active by doing as many activities as I can; I play on volleyball leagues a few times a week , take classes at the local gym, take my dog for walk when the weather permits and whatever I come across that may sound fun. I am very close to my family and my close knit group of friends we stand by each other no matter what. I love to goof around with my niece and nephew while they are still at the great age when everything is exciting so it makes you that much excited to do things you may have done a million times. I am a HUGE sports fan and of course for my Cleveland boys. All my teams the Tribe, Brownies, Cavs, and Buckeyes. I love animals and volunteer at a shelter in Akron. It is very rewarding to give these poor animals a little extra love and care that they unfortunately are denied of most of the time. Pretty much I just like to have fun and am up to try just about anything at least once. I wasn't really sure about the whole online dating thing but I am tired of meeting guys at bars so I thought I would try this out. I am looking for someone that is honest, sweet, knows how to really treat a girl but has their own life too. I enjoy my life and love staying busy, I am always willing to make time for someone new and expect the same but knows that everyone is busy and enjoys there own space sometimes. I am not into playing games so if you are honest about yourself and what you want that's all I ask for. If you want to know anything else give me wink or email me :)

Objective Profiling of Perceived Punch and Clarity in Produced Music
This paper describes and evaluates an objective measurement that profiles a complex musical signal over time in terms of identification of dynamic content and overall perceived quality. The authors have previously identified a potential correlation between inter-band dynamics and the subjective quality of produced music excerpts. This paper describes the previously presented Inter-Band Relationship (IBR) descriptor and extends this work by conducting more thorough testing of its relationship to perceived punch and clarity over varying time resolutions. A degree of correlation is observed between subjective test scores and the objective IBR descriptor suggesting it could be used as an additional model output variable (MOV) to describe punch and clarity with a piece of music. Limitations have been identified in the measure however and further consideration is required with regards to the choice of threshold adopted based on the range of dynamics detected within the musical extract and the possible inclusion of a gate as utilised in some loudness algorithms.

By: Associated Press
President Barack Obama is encouraging Israel to try to minimize civilian deaths in its ground push into Hamas-ruled Gaza.
Obama says he talked to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Friday about the Gaza operation and reaffirmed Israel's right to defend itself. He told reporters at the White House that no nation should accept rockets being fired into its borders.
Israel's movement follows a 10-day campaign of more than 2,000 airstrikes that had failed to halt relentless Hamas rocket fire on Israeli cities.
Israel stepped up its campaign after the Islamic militant group refused to accept an Egyptian truce offer.

X-MEN Designs, and Black Panthers Designs
Renditions of the X-Men by Ismail M Wamala
A little backstory behind them as well.
Henry McCoy Codename: Beast
From the streets of Yorkshire, UK, here comes Henry McCoy! Not one to conform to the standard etiquette expected of him, he chose a path contrary to his parents expectations.
Foregoing a career path of science and diplomacy, instead, he chose a path of wandering the globe doing his best to meet others like him. A wandering Beast some would call him
Fred J Dukes: Codename:BLOB
His mutation kicked in at the most in appropriate time.
One night he sat on the couch next to his girlfriend, reaching over to put his arm around her shoulder, he all of a sudden increased in size. His skin started to sag, boils exploded from his back. Suffice it to say, she ran, and he sat alone with a broken couch. Only him and his goldfish left in the room.
Magneto has use for Blob, because the fluid from his exploding boils is more corrosive than any known acid.
Elard Escobar Codename: CYCLOPS
A branch of the CIA (Covert OPs Team) found him huddled in a corner after bombing his town. The small team came with the intention to end their agreement with one of their local "assets" in Peru.
They found Elard, eyes bandaged, one of the operatives removed the bandages, and was launched 30 feet across the burning rubble of the town. Elard was then considered a strategic asset.
Upon discovering about the use of Mutants in low intensity conflicts, Professor X set out to liberate him from his captors.
Elard now works with Professor X making sure mutants are not manipulated into partaking in unjustified conflicts.
Emma Costa Silva: Codename: Emma
Diamond hard skin activated at will. Initially there wasn't much shine to her mutation. Between the ages of 6- 12 she would practice Capoeira with the local students.
She entered tournaments , the better she got the more fights shed win. Other people started to notice that she rarely had a scratch on her. When she turned 16 she started to notice her skin would sparkle like diamonds. She hid the fact by putting glitter dust on her self before a competition fight. She was aptly named Diamond Star
Diamond Star got the attention of local gangs looking to expand their operation, and one night the leader of a street gang, tested out her toughness.
He shot her, she got up, she kicked his ass. He sent the gang after her family, She took care of them. Yet the police had a different opinion of her actions. Professor X came to her aid, set a mental suggestion to make her disappear in their and her familys minds. Shes the second recruited member of the X-men.
Bobby Drake: Codename: Iceman
Hailing from Oahu ( part of the Big Island known as Hawaii)
An avid surfer! Lover of the Ocean. His carefree attitude and love for life has yet to encounter the nefarious team ready to scoop him up and utilize him for their own needs. Professor X has yet to recruit Bobby. Magneto has his eyes on him as well as covert special ops operatives.
Jean Grey: Phoenix
Magneto got to her early. As the Phoenix started to rise in her, Magneto saw the opportunity to build the Brotherhood with Jean Grey as leader and recruiter.
She still struggles with the Phoenix personality, and yet around Magneto she is able to contain and use its powers without being overwhelmed. As Jean Grey she is still unsure of her place in the scheme to reshape the world.
Master of Magnetism a.k.a. Erik Lehnsherr
A former colleague to Professor X. Their views on humanity and mutants is a wedge that separates them.
Magneto holds a deep secret about his origins and powers, only time will tell whether he reveals it to the rest of his Brotherhood and to the world at large.
In the end, he and Professor X may not be that different after all.
Professor X. Thats all he/she goes by and speaks very little. Most communication is telepathic images. Was he born? Was he created? No one knows.
They only know what he puts into their minds. A drum major to protect those who are unable to protect themselves from injustice and exploitation.
Rogue a.k.a. Momoko Yamada
Fast and the Furious anyone? A big fan of Drifting. A style of driving originating in Japan by Kunimitsu Takahashi in the 1970s.
Momoko loves fast cars. One of few women Drift Racers on the street racing scene, she utilizes her powers to get out of particular jams with the local police in Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido.
Try to write her a ticket, put her in cuffs, skin to skin, no one stands a chance.
The thrill of the chase and the drift keeps her excited about life. Its her way of coping with the inability to sustain long bouts of skin-to skin contact with others.
Shes on the radar of more than one agency. Magneto considers her a liability,
he sees a reckless individual who does not utilize her power to the fullest extent.
Enraged albino male! He was rejected from the Weapon X program trials due to scientists classifying him as a mutated mutant.
His albino nature had them suspect that he may not be able to stand up to the rigorous trials. Against their judgment he took it upon himself to try everything in the lab.
The result, he lost all his hair and gained a love for mayhem. (read that as going CRAZY) Magneto took note of a rampaging mutant and enlisted him in his cause. He utilizes Sabretooth as his one man wrecking crew, and sedates his rage with low pulses of a magnetic field.
STORM: Ororo
Considered a goddess by some a and a menace by others. Ororo, is married to the King of Wakanda. TChalla. She co-ordinates often times with Professor X and the X-Men whenever she is able to. Her royal title as Queen of Wakanda drives her to be an ambassador of goodwill for she is a symbol of hope, and power.
Adebayo Babasola: Codename: Wolverine / Weapon X
Known as the first surviving test subject of the Weapon X program.
Adamantium came to the attention of the Wepaon X program. They traveled to Nigeria. Under the impression that the people of a small village who had stored the precious metal had an idea of its use, they,Weapon X program co-rodniators started testing the local youth for any mutant attributes.
Many did not survive. Adebayo did. His healing factor kicked in upon the final stages of adamantium bone grafting, leaving large scars on his forearms. The pain is still there every time the claws come out. Yet, he vowed to seek justice for those who came to his small villa and used its local population as test subjects.
Another thread for these two later on

Your panther work is WAY better than the x-men stuff, I like those. The x-men stuff seems a little rough around the edges anatomically. I love the idea though.

Those are some cool (re)designs you got there. There are a couple of anatomical issues that jump out to me right away: the hands and heads of your characters, which are admittedly some of the toughest things to draw from memory. The hands are decent. Your best examples are of clenched fists. The fingers of your open hands are very sausage-like. The best (worst?) example of this is in your depiction of Storm. Her hands are open, fingers extending, but the fingers all seem very lumpy, and it appears that there is little structure for the skin to conform to. I think that the more complicated you try to make the hands, the more lost you might be when it comes to deciding how a hand should look.
Bringing us to the other issue with the heads. There is little variation between the structure of the skull among these characters. Cyclops, Emma, Jean, Iceman, and Rogue, all have the same robust cheek bones and the same square jaw line. I think you might be getting too caught up anatomical structure (this goes for your hands as well) and not focusing on developing a character. Blob, Wolverine, and Beast are more successful because you approached them in the opposite way, focusing on character.
I think you should sit down with an anatomy book, some issues of National Geographic, and maybe even a few different body building magazines and study. I wouldn't go with Bridgman right away for anatomy. A good one to start with is Human Anatomy for the Artist by Goldfinger or find a copy of Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist by Peck. Even if you are studying Bridgman its a good idea to have one of these (or something similar) on hand as a reference. Bridgman can be a bit much if you're just starting out.

Manage webcast
Cloud Developer Liaison Jorge Castro and devops expert Clint Byrum
With Juju, services can be deployed, connected, upgraded and re-used by defining them as charms. Encapsulating service intelligence like this helps to separate deep, service-specific knowledge from broader operations management skills.
Juju Charm School is a webinar presented by Cloud Developer Liaison Jorge Castro and devops expert Clint Byrum. Covering how to create charms and use them, it's for developers and operations teams who want to make service deployment easier - especially in the cloud.
Attendees are encouraged to:
- Submit scripts and discuss how to turn them into charms
- Request peer review on any charms in development
- Ask questions about Juju, charms and service orchestration in general
This is a follow up to a prior Juju seminar, found here. [link to http://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/6793/39309] We strongly recommend that attendees watch the earlier video before this one.

Network functions virtualization (NFV) and cloud computing are the next generation of network-based computing, since they can deliver both software and hardware as on-demand resources. While this represents a transformation towards a much-needed flexible software-driven infrastructure, one of the significant concerns with this transformation is security.
In this web seminar, we discuss network security in a virtualized environment focusing on these key points:
•How to virtualize security applications, such as IPS/IDS, in a way that scales linearly while maintaining performance.
•Real-world use-case examples of security virtualization highlighting the challenges and corresponding solutions.
•A review of virtual machine architectures based on the Intel® Architecture coupled with key enabling technologies, such as Hyperscan pattern matching, used to drive the scale and performance of industry-leading IPS/IDS use-cases such as Suricata.

Instant Analysis - Big 12
Texas 13 ... Nebraska 12
Finally, America will start naming their kids Ndamukong after a brilliant, all-timer of a performance, but lost in Suh's 12-tackle, 4.5 sack, seven tackle-for-loss game, the Hunter Lawrence gut-check game-winning field goal, and all the controversy about TCU, Cincinnati, and the flickering one-second put back on the clock because of Colt McCoy's lacksidasical effort in the final moments was the other side of the 2009 Big 12 Championship: The Texas defense.
The Nebraska offense stunk it up this year against every defense with a pulse, and some without, but the Texas defense still deserves credit for a brilliant performance that came up with stop after stop and play after play.
Five first downs allowed. 106 yards of total offense allowed, with 31 of those coming in desperation mode to get into a position for Alex Henery's 42-yard field goal. 2-of-16 third down conversions allowed. The Texas defense didn't come up with the sacks that Nebraska's did, but it was every bit as dominant and it kept the team in the game when the Huskers could've changed everything around with just one big play. Again, Nebraska doesn't exactly have Texas A&M's offense, and it was playing it close to the vest, but Texas still stuffed anything and everything and kept putting the pressure on the Husker defense.
Nebraska had to be a wee bit gassed late, even with the adrenaline kicking in, and even though it came up with a big pick to lead to the Henery late field goal, things could've been much scarier for the Longhorns after starting the drive on its own goal line.
So while everyone will be busy picking Alabama to win the national title in a blowout, don't forget about the No. 1 run defense in America.
Alabama and Texas are probably the two best programs in the country, so why do I feel so empty right now?
Kudos to the Longhorns, which found a way to win in Dallas behind an uber-clutch kick from Hunter Lawrence. However, unlike the Crimson Tide earlier in the day, the Horns' win was hardly a referendum. In fact, in their last two games, the nation's No. 3 team was ordinary, on defense versus Texas A&M and on offense tonight against that hellacious Nebraska D, which deserved a better fate.
Texas is going to Pasadena. That much is certain, but should it even be beyond debate? There are three other undefeated teams in the country, right? Cincinnati, Boise State, and especially TCU have handled their business in 2009 without a blemish, yet the system—and Lawrence—have boxed them out of dreaming of January in Southern California. And for that, everyone around the sport comes up a little short. Although it's one of those theories that can never be proven, I firmly believe the Horned Frogs can go toe-to-toe with anyone in the country, including those other Horns from Austin.
For me, the excitement will surface once the bowl season begins, but I sure wish Texas dominated on championship Saturday the way Alabama did a few hours earlier. The Longhorns and the Crimson Tide will grow on me, I'm convinced, but after watching UT narrowly escape impotent Nebraska, I'm not counting down the days to Jan. 7 quite yet.
Matt Zemek
1) Okay, this will take awhile. Let's just settle down after a ridiculously wild day. Let the emotions cool off. Take away the names. Just do the homework.
Team A played its non-conference games against FCS-based Southeast Missouri State, at Oregon State, Fresno State, at Miami-Ohio, and Illinois.
Team B played its non-conference games against FCS-based Texas State, at Virginia, at Clemson, Southern Methodist.
Team C played its non-conference games against Louisiana-Monroe, at Wyoming, UTEP, UCF.
Team A gets points for winning at Oregon State. Team B gets points for winning at Clemson. Team C gets points for not scheduling an FCS opponent. Team A's non-Oregon State profile is weak. Team B's non-Clemson profile is a little less weak because of 7-5 SMU. Team C's profile isn't enhanced by Monroe or UTEP, plus the presence of only one non-conference road game. Team A has the single best win, but Team B had a more blended portfolio and Team C saw UCF and Wyoming post decent seasons. You could kick it around a lot, but the real story is that the three resumes are very even.
Then, within each conference, consider the following: Team A's conference has only eight teams, but six of them have winning records. Team B's conference has some really weak sisters at the bottom, but five bowl teams and three teams with at least nine wins. Team C's conference has been historically powerful, but the team it barely beat on Saturday had a painfully bad offense, which shows how bad the North Division of that conference really was in 2009. Team A's three best conference wins: at Pittsburgh, West Virginia, at Rutgers. Team B's three best conference wins: at BYU, Utah, at Air Force. Team C's three best conference wins: Texas Tech, at Oklahoma State, vs. Nebraska (neutral field).
Pittsburgh and West Virginia both have nine wins; BYU has 10 wins, Utah nine; Oklahoma State and Nebraska have nine wins, Texas Tech eight. Team A's conference wasn't great; neither was Team B's; neither was Team C's. You tell me who should go.
By now, you know which team is which: A is Cincinnati, B is TCU, C is Texas. Cincinnati and Texas both needed some bad mistakes from opponents to win today, and both survived incredibly deficient and flawed performances. TCU plays in the lowest-profile conference, which is also the least-credentialed conference (even with the 2009 Sugar Bowl beatdown Utah gave to Alabama), but the Horned Frogs rocked just about everyone they played, save for Clemson (not bad) and Air Force (the only truly shaky win on the slate). Cincinnati and Texas should be commended for running the table and winning their conferences, but those two teams looked ugly and – at least at times – highly undeserving of a shot at the national title, no small prize and no minor consideration.
Think of the national title debate this way: If an extra half-second elapses before Colt McCoy's pass hits the ground, Mack Brown becomes a rich man's (or is it a poor man's?) Les Miles, and Texas would have been laughed out the door on the way to the Fiesta Bowl for a miserable trip to suburban Phoenix. Should the fact that Hunter Lawrence manned up on his game-winning 46-yard field goal automatically mean that it's Horns-Tide on Jan. 7? Any conscientious college football voter/observer, in the absence of the playoff that we so painfully need, has to re-evaluate each week. I didn't expect to have this contentious a debate on my hands, but after seeing Texas perform so poorly – and receive three gifts (not bad calls, just gifts) in the final 90 seconds – it seems that Texas, under a very unfair system, has forfeited the right to enjoy automatic priority over Cincy and TCU. If you compare resumes, it's an open question. No team has a slam-dunk case, so the sniff test decides it. The Bearcats and Longhorns really wobbled, while TCU played more strong games against its roughly equivalent schedule.
For the 10,000,000th time, everybody, this system is not fair. It can only work when one – AND ONLY ONE! – scenario emerges, the magic-bullet scenario we saw in the 1999, 2002 and 2005 seasons. We didn't get that this year, and even without a Nebraska upset, we still have chaos… or at least, we ought to.
TCU gets this vote for the BCS National Championship Game, but the true solution is to have – at the very least – a plus-one. Come on, BCS pansies: Put Bama and Texas in Pasadena, fine, but then put Cincinnati and TCU in the Fiesta Bowl, and on Friday, Jan. 15 at one of the four BCS bowl sites, pit the winners against each other. This is the 21st flippin' century, for crying out loud, and the BCS is just as much of a disgrace as it's ever been. Texas deserves to play for the title. Only problem is, so does Cincy. So does TCU. So under the flawed system we have, Horned Frogs and Crimson Tide seems like the most reasonable thing to do.
2) Ndamukong Suh is the most outstanding college football player in 2009. Period. Colt McCoy isn't anywhere close to the top this season. He deserved the award last year, but not in 2009. This is NOT a career achievement award. It's not an award for the senior quarterback on a 13-0 team from a power conference. The Heisman is also not given to a player based on six games; it's an award based on 12 games, and Suh has been a beast all season long. McCoy was genuinely horrible against Oklahoma and Colorado and mediocre against Texas Tech and Wyoming. Heisman voters, if you had the good sense to hold onto your ballots until Sunday morning, you should have a very easy choice to make after the dust has settled.
Michael Bradley
Nebraska did everything right for 58 minutes, and Texas did what it had to for two. That was the difference between a delicious case of BCS chaos and a classic battle of unbeatens for the "national title." Don't tell TCU, Cincinnati and Boise State that everything worked out perfectly in the end, but if you are partial to burnt orange, Saturday's outcome was exactly what you wanted. The Longhorns couldn't do much against the rock-ribbed Nebraska defense, until it mattered. Then, thanks to a horrible mistake on a kickoff and a brain-freeze penalty, the 'Horns moved into field goal position, and Hunter Lawrence delivered the goods. It was hardly an attractive win for Texas, but it was the 13th of the season, against no losses, and it was good enough to send the Longhorns to Pasadena. If Nebraska was going to win the game, it needed its defense to hold sway, and that it did, confounding the Longhorns for much of the night and helping set up four field goals. But in the end, not even the Black Shirts could overcome two big errors and Lawrence's big foot. For the second straight week, Texas wasn't overly impressive, but it was a winner. In the end, that was all that mattered.

Colorado native Adrienne Pellizzari first came to Manuel Antonio in 1993 on a summer vacation, but it was her quest for good coffee and cuisine that made her stay. In the end, she created her own milagro (miracle) blend, making this cozy café the only place in town that serves its own fresh-roasted coffee. The eclectic menu is heavy on vegetarian and organic dishes, like chilled avocado soup, mango chayote salad, and grilled vegetables with quinoa. They also serve pulled pork on corn cakes and dorado with a Caribbean salsa. The breakfast burritos, baked goods, and inventive selection of sandwiches make this a top breakfast and lunch spot. Tables on the front porch overlook the road, but there's also seating in the back garden. At the time of writing, the owners were looking to open a second location at the marina in Quepos.

We originally intended to visit Cafe Milagro in Manuel Antonio but our cab driver asked which one we would like to go to: MA or Quepos? We were en route to the Quepos airport so we made the decision to go there, and could not be happier that we did. This is apparently the "Patio" version of Cafe Milagro, opened because they had to dedicate the other facility to more of the coffee production as their popularity increased. It is right next door to the
Cafe Milagro shop that sells trinkets and of course, coffee. Get some for your trip home! The breakfast is to die for. Crepes del Bosque means chocolate, banana and coconut - if you're mouth is not watering, it should be. Ditto the banana and macadamia nut pancakes. Fresh squeezed orange juice is delightful and the coffee is outstanding (try the Cafe Turtle for something sweet). Sit out back in the garden to avoid traffic noise.

I loved everything about this place. Nice breakfast and great coffee. They also sell post cards, crafts, t-shirts, hats and other cool stuff.

Bad Signal? Check your SIM Card
It might not seem very intuitive, but iPhone Atlas is reporting that if you're experiencing bad signal strength on your iPhone, you might want to consider checking that the SIM card is properly seated. They even go so far as to say putting a small piece of scotch tape on the back can help with the connection. I've personally experienced the benefits of using scotch tape on a SIM card on lesser phones, but I've never had a problem with the iPhone.
Other options for boosting signal strength via uncomfortable hacker include: Resetting your phone and even attaching the USB cable as an ad-hoc antenna (ugh).
