The Engine Products Group filed a petition this week asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the DC Circuit Court of Appeals' August 2012 decision that none of the trade associations or parties had standing in the case. The group had challenged the EPA's decision to grant partial waivers approving the sale of gasoline containing 15 percent ethanol (E15) for 2001 model year and newer passenger cars and light trucks.
If the Supreme Court accepts the case, the Engine Products Group, made up of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the Association of Global Automakers, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) and the National Marine Manufacturers Association, will then ask the court to reverse the court of appeal's ruling and find the parties have the right to challenge EPA's partial waiver decisions that allow sale of E15 for newer passenger cars and light trucks and not for use in motorcycles, boats and off-road engines.
"This appeal reflects the seriousness of this issue for the outdoor power equipment and small engine industry," says Kris Kiser, president and CEO, OPEI. "We feel strongly that this challenge to the E-15 partial waiver needs to be considered on its merits, and not held back on a procedural issue. We will push on to protect our consumers from the engine failure and product harm that comes from misfueling with E15."

wedding present bizarro gig return bus trip
this print is from my trip home after a wedding present gig last december...
if you're not familiar with them, the wedding present are a leeds band, fronted by dave gedge, making music that often document a particular male crapness in relationships and their aftermath. [my mate simon h suggested that we prepare for this gig by having pointless arguments with our wives...]
their songs are sometimes poignant, often darkly funny, with well observed and cleverly-written lyrics and back in 1989 they released 'bizarro', an album of indie guitar rock thrashed out at 100mph that soundtracked me through a painful romantic heartbreak, and which became my music of choice during the occasionally bitter fallout...
flash forward to 2010 and this was a sort of homecoming gig, with the band playing the whole lp.
and it was a brilliant night - sort of cathartic for me, with songs that i once wallowed in suddenly sounding all joyous and exhilarating. i was smiling for days afterwards.
in the print here, the grey bloke is 1990-me, surprised at 21st century me. the songs quoted are 'brassneck' and 'take me!' [possibly my favourite wedding present tune ever, a big, exuberant, 9 minute rock-out...]

Si, this bus trips series has been a really rich seam. I've loved the simplicity and flatness of the medium and the mix of simple and complex images that have emerged. This one is a tour de force and I love it all the more for knowing your personal explanation of it. M x

THOMASVILLE, Ga. -- The Tennessee Tech softball team disposed of Thomas (Ga.) University, 6-0, Wednesday afternoon in its final tune-up before conference action begins. Sophomores Taylor Ketchum and Erica Tuck gave up a combined five hits in the Golden Eagles' third shutout of the season.
Angi Sakamoto blasted a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth to score Tech's final runs, while six different Golden Eagles crossed home plate.
Tech scored in the first inning as Melody Christian reached on a single and Hannah Eldridge singled to send Christian home. In the second, Olivia Bennett and Chelsea Burgess each singled and scored on Night Hawk errors. Tech was held scoreless after that until the sixth inning. Samantha Cook scored and Kayla Floyd moved into scoring position when Sakamoto stepped to the plate and knocked her two-run shot.
Ketchum got the win in four innings, striking out four and giving up three hits. Tuck relieved the ace for the final three innings, striking out one and holding the Night Hawks to two hits.
The Golden Eagles open conference play Saturday and Sunday at Morehead State. Tech will play in a doubleheader Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. CDT before finishing the series Sunday, also at 1 p.m. CDT.

LightSquared Inc., whose proposed high-speed wireless network threatened to disrupt GPS navigation systems, including those used in agriculture, has filed for bankruptcy.
The Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition was filed May 14 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. It followed a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision in February that it would withdraw preliminary approval for the LightSquared network after government tests confirmed that it would interfere with global positioning systems.
The government tests corroborated concerns from the Coalition to Save Our GPS, whose members included John Deere and Trimble, that GPS navigation systems operating near any of LightSquared's planned 40,000 cellular towers would be disrupted. The Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Department of Defense and others expressed similar concerns about the LightSquared network, which received preliminary FCC approval in early 2011.
In a statement, LightSquared said the bankruptcy filing gives it "breathing room" to resolve regulatory issues. Meanwhile, the company said it continues to provide services to its customers, including satellite communications systems used by navigation system providers to deliver correction signals to GPS receivers.

HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). HIV attacks the immune system by destroying CD4 positive (CD4+) T cells, a type of white blood cell that is vital to fighting off infection. The destruction of these cells leaves people living with HIV vulnerable to other infections, diseases and other complications. As the leading U.S. government institute for HIV/AIDS research, NIAID is committed to conducting the research necessary to successfully end the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Why Is the Study of HIV/AIDS a Priority for NIAID?
Nearly 37 million people are living with HIV around the world. In the United States, 1.2 million people are living with HIV, of whom 13 percent are unaware of their diagnosis. Although progress has been made in the global fight against HIV/AIDS, the epidemic continues in the United States and the international community. Globally, AIDS-related deaths have dropped by 45 percent since their peak in 2004. Yet the rate of HIV transmission remains unacceptably high, with 2.1 million new infections occurring worldwide in 2015 alone.
How Is NIAID Addressing This Critical Topic?
NIAID-supported studies address all areas of HIV research, including developing and testing preventive HIV vaccines, prevention strategies, and new treatments for HIV and AIDS-related diseases. Through laboratories and clinics on the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Maryland, and a vast network of supported research at universities, medical centers, and clinical trial sites around the globe, NIAID is working to better understand HIV and how it causes disease, find new tools to prevent HIV infection including a preventive vaccine, develop new and more effective treatments for people living with HIV, and hopefully, find a cure.
To learn about risk factors for HIV/AIDS and current prevention and treatment strategies visit the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV/AIDS site.

Preventing new HIV infections is a key step toward ending the HIV pandemic as we know it. NIAID-supported researchers have worked since the early days of AIDS in the 1980s to identify prevention tools to keep people healthy. Today, an array of prevention methods are available for use in combination or on their own, and scientists continue to work to develop and improve cutting-edge tools and techniques that can work to prevent HIV in diverse populations around the world.
Historically, vaccination has been the best method for protecting people from infectious diseases. While an array of techniques are available for preventing HIV infection, the development of a safe and effective HIV vaccine remains key to realizing a durable end to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. NIAID-supported scientists are working toward an HIV vaccine from two complementary angles: an empirical approach that quickly moves vaccine candidates into human testing, and a theoretical approach that designs vaccine candidates based on an understanding of the immune response to HIV infection.
One of NIAID's greatest success stories is that its research led to the development of numerous antiretroviral drugs to treat HIV/AIDS, turning what was once a uniformly fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition for many. NIAID is working to find new and more effective therapeutic products, drug classes, and combinations as well as safe and effective treatments for dangerous related co-infections and complications.
NIAID is exploring therapies that suppress the amount of HIV to such low levels that an HIV-infected person would no longer need treatment because his or her immune system could keep the remaining virus in check, creating in essence a "functional cure."
NIAID and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) conduct ongoing clinical research on HIV infection and other immunological disorders. Read more about the active clinical trials below:

Ronaldo to be honoured by Portuguese president
Cristiano Ronaldo is to be granted one of the most prestigious awards in the Portuguese honours system, the president's office has confirmed.
The 28-year-old Real Madrid forward, who is already an Officer of the Order of Prince Henry, will now be made Grand Officer for his services to the country and the example he sets to its young people.
The award is just two steps away from the highest-ranked accolade achievable under the system, the Grand Collar, which is reserved for heads of state and those whose achievements are of an "extraordinary and special nature".
A statement on the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic website read: "The President of the Republic will award Cristiano Ronaldo, football player and captain of the national soccer team, with the grade of Grand Officer of the Order of Prince Henry the Navigator.
"The decision of President Cavaco Silva aims to distinguish this internationally renowned sportsperson who has been a worldwide symbol of Portugal, thus contributing towards the country's international image, and an example of perseverance for the new generations."
The Order of Prince Henry is awarded to those who "render outstanding services to Portugal" and who contribute to "the expansion of Portuguese culture or knowledge of Portugal, its history and its values".
The ceremony is set to take place on Tuesday at the National Palace of Belem in Lisbon.

Revolution. Religion. Literature. Scholars from around the world bring their research and perspective of these divergent topics University of Houston Arte Público Press' "12th Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Conference."
The conference is planned for Oct. 19-20 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Houston. Focusing on "Literatures of Dissent/Cultures of Resistance" scholars will explore the history and literature of Latinos.
"These diverse participants will be engaged in researching, writing and teaching the Latino cultural history that will be in tomorrow's textbooks, from the lower grades to graduate school," said Nicolas Kanellos, professor and director of Arte Público Press, which houses the Recovery Project. "There is no other effort like this to do the hard work of digging into archives, rescuing perishable historical documents and making them accessible so we have a more complete understanding about how this country developed and what role Latinos played."
More than 300 participants will participate in the more than 60 sessions. Those include "Revolution and Religion," "Colonization and Race," and "The American Latino Theme Study of the National Park Service: Recovering Latina/o Historical and Cultural Sites."
Additionally, Josefina Lopez, award-winning playwright and author of "Real Women Have Curves," is the featured speaker at a fundraising dinner for Arte Público Press at 7p.m., Friday Oct. 19.
The Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project is a comprehensive program to reconstitute the literary and historical legacy of Hispanics in the U.S. from colonial times to 1960. To date, hundreds of thousands of essays, autobiographies, historical and journalistic writings, novels, diaries and letters are being integrated into textbooks and curriculum from kindergarten to high school to college. The project is part of Arte Público Press, the nation's largest and most established publisher of contemporary and recovered literature by Hispanic authors.

Scott Case, the founding chief technology officer of Priceline.com and Startup America CEO, had some words of praise for Memphis and Tennessee while on a panel at November's Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum in Palm Springs, Calif.
"There aren't a lot of visible success stories that are regularly (being) celebrated," he told the crowd. "When you look at places like Silicon Valley or New York – somebody has a good meeting with a venture firm, and Techcrunch covers it. One of the things we focus on at Startup America is celebration, and places like Tennessee took this on."
An example of that celebration of entrepreneurs and the startup community happens this month at the Memphis Cook Convention Center. That's when the city will welcome the inaugural "Everywhere Else" startup conference – for which Case will be among the speakers.
"See you in Memphis!" Case tweeted to his followers in December.
Forbes.com recently described the three-day conference as a "must-attend" event. The conference is from Feb. 10 through Feb. 12 and is being hosted by Nibletz.com, a technology blog that bills itself as "the voice of startups everywhere else" and which recently set up shot in Memphis.
–Kyle Sandler, Nibletz co-founder
Nibletz co-founder Kyle Sandler said he's expecting an attendance of 1,500 at the event, which was relocated from The Peabody hotel to the convention center to accommodate the crowd.
In addition to Case, other speakers include representatives of FedEx, Startup TN and other accelerators from around the country. They include Danny Boice, co-founder of Washington startup Speek in addition to a panel of all-female startup founders.
"We're expecting a celebration of entrepreneurship from across the country, in an entrepreneurial city that some of the biggest brands in the world have called home," Sandler said. "I'm excited to share the culture of Memphis with people from everywhere else. And we have people coming from all over the country and all over the world, including Israel, the U.K. and Chile."
Among the conference's other highlights: Damien Echols, who spent nearly 20 years on Death Row in Arkansas as one of the West Memphis Three, will attend to participate in a "fireside chat." Rather than what sent him to prison, he will talk about the leaps that technology and culture have made during the time he was behind bars.
Also at the conference, nearly 100 startups will pack a "Startup Village." They'll be competing for a cash prize and other awards, in addition to being crowned the best startup "everywhere else." While they're here, attendees also will be able to take in Memphis sights and sounds like Beale Street and a Memphis Grizzlies game.
Nibletz is a startup itself and announced its relocation to Memphis in late 2012. Site co-founder and content director Sandler said he and co-founder Cameron Wright ultimately were swayed by the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem that's coming together here. They also were swayed by a strong courtship from EmergeMemphis executive director Eric Mathews and his team that includes LaunchYourCity co-president Andre Fowlkes and chief branding officer Elizabeth Lemmonds.
The attendee ticket is $60 for the full three-day conference. The ticket includes admission to all keynotes, panels and exhibit areas, and admission to all networking events and official after parties.

I liked this book because I think insects are amazing animals, and I found out some facts that I didn't know before. My favorite part was when I saw the picture of the grasshopper because I like grasshoppers. I could see the different parts of the grasshopper in the picture. The photographs were very good. The characters in the book were the insects, and one that I liked best was the butterfly. The special thing about the book is that is gives facts. I felt it was a cool story.
I recommend this book because to me insects are cool. My mom would want to know about insects. She would be interested in the part where she would see the ants. Maybe she will learn lots of facts about insects.

ADRIAN — He had robbery in mind after all, a former prison inmate said when he pleaded guilty to pulling a gun on a clerk at the CVS pharmacy in Adrian on April 20.
David Daniel Byard, 49, was arrested minutes after the reported hold-up attempt. A guilty plea he offered in October was rejected when he gave a Lenawee County circuit judge an explanation of wanting only to scare the clerk because he insulted someone who robbed the store two weeks earlier.
Byard told Judge Margaret M.S. Noe on Wednesday that he really did intend to commit an armed robbery by taking a toy gun to the store about 1 a.m. on April 20 and confronting a clerk. His plea to a charge of assault with intent to commit armed robbery was accepted.
He faces a maximum life prison term when he is sentenced on Jan. 10.
Byard has been in the Lenawee County Jail since April 20, when he was caught by a jail officer while running through nearby Trestle Park. The officer went outside to look for a robbery suspect who was reported to be running from the CVS store.
Adrian police also identified Byard as a suspect in an April 8 theft at the same store. A security video showed a masked man carrying what appeared to be a gun walking into the store late that night and walk behind a check-out counter that was not attended at the time. Store employees discovered the theft a short time later and called police after looking at the video.
When he first pleaded guilty in October, Byard told the court he was angry with a CVS clerk who he said he overheard talking about the April 8 theft.
"He said whoever did it was a coward," Byard said. He also denied being the thief.
Byard served more than 20 years in prison for a 1988 armed robbery of employees at the Domino's Pizza store in Adrian with a handgun. He was convicted in that case after a jury trial and sentenced to a 13- to 30-year prison term plus two years for possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was discharged from prison in October 2011.
Guilty plea taken in robbery

Benefits... benefitting who exactly?
I have literally filled out loads of paperwork, had to get medical notes and letters to support my story, been prodded and poked at a medical exam and also ran a ridiculous phone bill calling the idiots to then be told im not quite "ill" enough. Tell me then, what needs to happen to me to qualify for this pocket money? Because being disabled, in constant agony, and on 25 tablets a day obviously isnt enough. Its a joke. If anyone else is having these problems please let me know. The thing that annoys me the most is that I would rather be out at work earning my own money with a career at the age of 23 than essentially begging for money from the government. Swines.

I know just how you feel. I have applied for diability and denied twice. My condition is as yours, most days unable to even get myself to the bathroom.

Judgment Day praised in Nature
Reviewing Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial -- the new documentary about Kitzmiller v. Dover -- for the November 8, 2007, issue of Nature (450: 170), Adam Rutherford was impressed, not least with the way in which the filmmakers met the challenge of retelling the story. "The makers of Judgment Day inject tension with eyewitness accounts from the people of Dover," he writes (subscription required), "and home-video footage of raucous school board meetings shows how passionate and divided this small community became. It works: it is inspiring to hear parents and educators, such as Sunday school and physics teacher Bryan Rehm, recount how they refused to be steam-rollered into bringing religion into the science classroom."
"Judgment Day gracefully avoids ridiculing intelligent design for the pseudo-intellectual fundamentalist fig-leaf that it is, by simply showing how the protagonists shot themselves in the foot," Rutherford adds. Acknowledging that the "intelligent design" movement is still alive in the wake of the trial, he nevertheless concludes that "the Kitzmiller vs Dover verdict, matched this September with the outlawing of intelligent design in the UK national curriculum, marked the official neutering of this unpleasant, sneaky movement in much of the western world. Judgment Day is just the sort of thoughtful programming that celebrates how sensible people -- faithful and otherwise -- can use science and reason to combat fundamentalism."
Judgment Day airs on PBS stations nationwide at 8:00 p.m. on November 13, 2007. (Schedules for local affiliates can be checked on-line via the PBS website.) Be sure also to visit the generous website, featuring interviews with Kenneth R. Miller on evolution, Phillip Johnson on "intelligent design," and Paula Apsell on NOVA's decision to produce the documentary; audio clips of Judge John E. Jones III reading passages from his decision in the case and of various experts (including NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott) discussing the nature of science; resources about the evidence for evolution and about the background to the Kitzmiller case; material especially for teachers, including a briefing packet (PDF) for educators; and even a preview of the documentary.

Phantom of Inferno DVD
It's too sad that most of the really great japanese games like F/sn, Tsukihime, Air and the likes will probably never be translated and released in English.
But then, some of them do. Phantom of Inferno is a great classic, and it did get translated to English in a very good version.
I've written a full review for it here.
I hope that this will get 1-2 people to try it and enjoy it as much as I did. Noir meets Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien.

I just discovered this game after watching that crappy OVA. I also read your review, and you did a great job of describing it without giving away the many spoilers. I haven't played any other game of this type before, so I don't have a baseline to compare to. I think the most interesting part of the game is the large number of internal dialogues of the characters. The script for the main characters are pretty good in bringing out their inner struggle. On the other hand, I find the villains to be pretty one dimensional and typical. The only gripe I have is that it doesn't let you fast forward the scenes, and the password system sometimes gets stuck after you enter the password. I ended up ripping the DVD to the hard drive and use VLC to play the whole thing. All in all, highly recommended.

I played the game with my PS2 (SCPH-70006) and I don't have problems with fast forward.
I also tried to play it with WinDVD7 on the computer and fast forward on there worked fine too.
I finished getting all the endings not long ago, the story was great. I am planning to play it again after I'm done with FSN:RN since there was quite a bit I missed in chapter 1 and 2 (chose Claudia's path and missed heaps of stuff on Ein and Cal).

It's a game where you repeatedly need to play to get all the endings. It's a good game, overall. As indicated by firstrian, the OVA was done a little poorly. It got the story down, but the important scenes barely or did not match the game's at all. Not to mention the character drawings could have been done better.
Anyways, back to the game. I liked Ein's ending the best. It seemed to end the story just right. The other endings, like Cal and Claudia and another character's that I won't say because they don't get introduced until chapter 3, either have endings that felt like a downer and didn't get anything resolved or it seemed to be too good to be true, though I guess the latter fits the romance endings better.

I just got the DVD version and im not sure how to work it.
When im playing, how do i "Save" or "load" a game? What if i want to review the previous text? All the usual visual novel functions dont seem to be there in this DVD o.O.
There also appears to be serious timing issues with the english subs and the voice/images. Right now my english subs are display "..." but the voice is already tallking about something else.

I've seen most of the endings already (8 of 10) and it's indeed an excellent game. Highly recommended.
I'll probably go back and look for the two I missed later on, but overall it was a satisfying experience. Even though many are tragic or bittersweet at best, most of them were quite fitting.
I think the storyline doesn't really require the eroscenes, but you can easily "add them in" with your own mind, if you want to do so.
Besides, the HCG packs aren't that hard to look up.
The closest thing to having "save" or "load" options is to use the "bookmarks" on your DVD playing software (Power DVD, in my case).
The timing can also vary according to your DVD player/playing software as well.

Hell yeah! Does anyone know a great media player where you can actually skip already read scenes? I feel like playing the not yet seen endings, but I'd like to skip those scenes I've seen few times before. (I truly despised to play that on my TV and DVD player)

The game is somewhat of a hassle to play..
It isn't possible to save game midway in a chapter meaning that you are either going have to replay the game a few times to get the end of chapter password or sit through each chapter for a few hours. However, the graphics and sound are superb. The story is similar to that of the anime.

At any rate, DVD conversions were expensive, so Hirameki eventually gave up on them.

Well, it is possible to "save". The key is to rip the DVD to the local disc first. Then you use the ancient tool "ifoedit" to remove the all protections from the game. Once you have done that, you can save/restore by simply jumping to the Track/Chapter you were last in (or simply leave your DVD player program - most will store the position and restart exactly there when you open it again). Finally, some DVD player programs will allow you to save "Bookmarks" - they can also be used.
So yes, while the game is a bit unwieldy in the original DVD version, it becomes much more easily playable after the adjustments I listed.

Instead of giving a lengthy explanation, just download this file and unpack it in your ripped directory. It will overwrite two .ifo files, and in result, the DVD playback will be unprotected by then. You can immediately jump to other tracks and chapters (and so, use DVD player bookmarks to "save" freely anytime)

Washington 38 Nebraska 51 – Week 3 Recap
Venue: Memorial Stadium, LINCOLN, NE
Attendance: 85,110
Washington suffered their first loss of the season and they had their 6-game losing streak snapped in a 51-38 loss to Nebraska in the nation's heartland.
The Huskies played well on offense in the win and while Kevin Price passed for 274 yards with 4 TD's he was picked off twice and they went into halftime only trailing by 3 points.
Problem was they came out flat in the 3rd quarter, where even head coach Steve Sarkisian said the Huskies had a "complete meltdown."
The teams traded scores in the first half with Price passing for a couple of TD,s, but Nebraska QB also tossed a couple of TD's. In the 3rd quarter the Huskies were penalized for 20 yards on a play and RB Rex Burkhead punched it in a few plays later.
He scored only 9 seconds later on another 1 yard run after Bishop Sankey dropped a kickoff return.
UW tried to make it a game in the 4th quarter scoring 21 points, but their D could not stop the Huskers from scoring 10 points in the last quarter to preserve the 13 point win.
UW RB Chris Polk had a good game rushing for 130 yards averaging a legit 5.9 yards per carry and while Price did his job the defense and special teams killed the Huskies.
The Washington defense gave up 464 yards of offense including a whopping 306 rushing yards and on top of that they turned the ball over 3 times.
The Huskies showed that they can stay with elite teams, but to get back to being elite their D will have to play better than they did against Nebraska.
Next Up: The Huskies begin Pac 12 play next week facing a Cal team that is 3-0 and has a good all around team.
Last season in Berkley Washington beat Cal 16-13.

In Ohio this weekend, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren fired up Democratic base voters by taking the opportunity to dig into Donald Trump.
Warren targeted the Republican presidential candidate for "inviting his followers to commit a terrible act of violence on his opponent," charging only "a little bully who can't win in a fair fight" would do such a thing.
Warren added that "Trump has led the charge on the "birther" movement, and only when his handlers tied him down and made him did he finally admit that it wasn't true."
"What kind of a man does that?" she said.

Pittsburgh's goin' to the Super Bowl!
As a company founded and based in Pittsburgh, we can't hide our hometown pride that the Steelers are headed to the Super Bowl next Sunday. In our Pittsburgh-area restaurants, we have had a long standing tradition of icing our famous Smiley cookies in black and gold for the Steelers season. Our guests seem to like our "Steelers Smiley Cookies," especially when Super Bowl fever hits Pittsburgh. During the Steelers last Super Bowl run in January 2006, the Steelers Smiley Cookie was part of the official bet of both the mayor of Pittsburgh and the governor of PA – a great tribute to the Smiley Cookie's place in the hearts of Pittsburghers.
Pittsburghers are a very loyal bunch, and even if they move out of the area, they don't soon forget the team they rooted for growing up. We're reminded of that every day when we see orders of Steelers Smiley Cookies sent from our online store to California, Washington, Texas, South Carolina, and every other state in the country! We try to do our part to as well – during the AFC Championship week, we offered free shipping to the state of Maryland so that Steelers fans trapped in Ravens territory could enjoy a taste of home. We even shipped Steelers Smiley Cookies to Ray Lewis to ease what was sure to be a tough Sunday for him. We haven't heard back from him if he liked them or not.
For the Super Bowl, we wanted to help Steeler Nation show their support, so we decided to go big: we created new gift packs that combined two Pittsburgh icons: Steelers Smiley Cookies and special Super Bowl XLIII edition Terrible Towels. Since Steeler Nation extends further than just Western PA, we offered to ship the gift packs free to anywhere in the country. These were so popular, we sold out in less than a week!!
And, because the Steelers have a pretty large fan base among our Eat'n Park team members, we've decided to give them a gift of their own: we're closing our restaurants at 3:00 pm the day of the big game, so that they can enjoy it at home. We'll reopen at 6:00 am on Monday morning – hopefully in a celebratory mood after a record sixth Super Bowl win!
Go Steelers! Your loyal fans at Eat'n Park are behind you! Share

Ghost Meter Pro
Posted 13 July 2012 - 09:11 AM
This is basically a modified EMF detector with a special mode that senses changes in the quantum flux and supposedly allows spirit energies to manipulate the unit to answer yes or no questions via the "pings" of the needle.
At first I was as skeptical as anyone as to the validity of this mode... So I contacted the makers who verified that it is not a game nor a gimmick... Then I found two articles on the net that also explained the workings of this unit and reviews that verified it's operation...
However, I wanted my own proof, so I started using it... The results have been astounding... All of the answers we get have made sense. We test it extensively and have asked it questions we already knew answers to and it was correct... We have also had EVP evidence that validated the answers on the Meter...
Though I still may not be 100% certain about this device... I am now over the 90% mark for sure! ... You can see it in operation in almost all of our videos through the link in my signature.

1 Week Gluten Free
Posted February 5, 2011on:
- In: Celiac | Cooking | Gluten Free
- 4 Comments
The house smells amazing OR is it because I am starving and do not want another cold breakfast.
This has been 1 week of trying to eat Gluten Free and I will tell you have had a few successes, but I think I have had lots of fails.
So this morning, I decided to try my hand and cook. I have made 2 dishes so far and the one which is cooking right now can be cut up and frozen so I can have it at work next week.
Rice mixed with Granny Smith apples which were stewed with apple juice and brown sugar. B refused to touch it, so she had parts of lunch which is in the oven cooking.
Brunch and Next Week Breakfasts:
Maple Bacon, Eggs and Grit casserole.
Cooked bacon crumbled and mixed into a mixture of grits and eggs. Cooked into a bread like casserole, served hot and topped with shredded cheese.
It I very good, very excited. There is enough that I can take it to work every day next week for breakfast. I got really tired of yogurt and pineapple for breakfast every day.
I hope to see if I can talk Hubby into a late lunch at the Mellow Mushroom. I spoke to them yesterday and they told me to come in and sample their Gluten Free Pizza.
I'm going to try a hand at family favorite, tweaked to be Gluten Free.
Scallops with Bacon, Onion and Red Pepper on top of Polenta with a side of lightly breaded and fried Zucchini: I hope the modifications work.
After reading this, found an alternative to Soy Sauce.
Dinner tonight: Baked Pork Chops, Steam Rice and Green Beans: Chops & Rice spiced with Worcestershire.
Lea & Perrins state most of thier projects are:
"Lea & Perrins® marinades and Worcestershire sauces are cholesterol free, fat free, preservative free, gluten free and has 80% less sodium than soy sauce."
Still reviewing the site and will complete with a trip to the store this weekend.
Doctor calls?
Posted February 2, 2011on:
Well it is official.
My GI doctor called and confirmed, his diagnosis of Celiac's Disease. He went from Possible, Probably to Confirmed in the last 10 days. We had a long conversation and discussed all my options. It appears this is going to take awhile for my system to be healed, so there is "No Cheat" days, there is no sliding, and this is a life change, not a diet.
I will be going to see a nutritionist shortly; there are so many things to avoid. I guess it would be better to have a list of things I can eat, instead of what I cannot.
The Doctor also wants me to join the local support group. Will be heading to meet them on 2/12.
Now to the Doctor visit which has me a little freaked out, but only when I'm not at home and around my kids. All 3 of the munchkins go into tomorrow to physicals and I have asked both doctors to test for Celiac's.
My youngest (9 year old girl), who shows the most symptoms is excited to find out if she is "allergic" to flour. My oldest (12 year old boy) said "Whatever, as long as I get to eat bacon."
My Middle child (10 year old girl) is completely freaked out, because she may be allergic to "Thin Mints"!
I have told them the testing is mainly for me to make sure they are healthy. Yearly check-ups are necessary for to make sure there is nothing wrong with them, and if there is, the doctor will let us know what to do to make sure they get and stay healthy.
So keep your fingers crossed, if the youngest has a positive test, I don't know what she will eat. She is extremely picky, she will probably only eat: apples, GF oatmeal and roasted skinless chicken legs.

I headed to the office on the first Day after diagnosis. Generally, I'm running out the door with an Atkins bar and cup of coffee or a diet Dr. Pepper.
I promised myself: I will be prepared. I will bring my breakfast and lunch!
After dinner on Sunday night, I prep for the next day, have menu and everything is ready to go. Girls were in the bed early, but son got home late from his ski trip.
Little did I know, thanks to my best friends, I got sucked into a marathon! I don't know if it was actual insomnia, or a "Thank you Jennifer, Kathy and "Prairie *itch". I liked Little House on the Prairie when I was little, now I LOVE IT, thanks to Jennifer and Kathy referring the Biography by Nellie. I was up until 5am watching hour after hour of sappy, cry and everything ends up ok episodes from 1980-1981.
The girls were up 5:30, but hubby let me get another hour of sleep and he took the girls to early AM reading class at their school and I got to stay home and get the boy up and ready for school.
At 7:15, I'm running out the door loaded down with: laptop, blackberry, reader, purse and huge plastic bag of food. I get half way down the steps and realized; I have not had any meds today. Tossed everything into the front seat, started the car, ran back inside, grabbed all my meds and a drink. Back in the car, I head to the 27 mile commute to my office.
Whew that was easy, but I knew my first temptation was coming up. Pavlovs law, at mile marker 60, my stomach starts to growl as I pass Burger King, I stand firm, but by exit 56, I take the exit and my car tries to turn into Dunkin Donut, but once again. I stand firm.
Pull into to the office and drag all the items in and fix breakfast, to eat as I go over my emails from missing Thursday and Friday because of the party with the doctors and surgury center.
YUMMY: Ice cold Lowfat Vanilla yogurt, frozen pineapple and sprinkled with Roasted Soy Nuts.
Today is going to be a great, I got it under control.
30 minutes after breakfast, I get a call reminding me I had a lunch meeting which was scheduled while out on Friday. "See you at the Siam Café", was the cheerful person on the phone.
This is my favorite place to eat. I love the eggrolls, curry, soy noodles, and fried bananas. I have to go for business. I can't mess up after 2 days.
11:30 came a lot quicker than I thought. My lunch date was already there, as my team and I arrive. BUT I found things to eat. I have eaten at this place at least once a week or more for the last 3 years. I asked a few questions and I got food! Not what I would have loved to eat, but I got to eat without trouble.
Lunch: Steam rice, just right to eat with chop sticks and fresh spring rolls. Did not have the peanut sauce, sweet and sour sauce or the soy, but it was still good. Spring roll: inside: cabbage, carrots, basil, soy bean, rice noodles and shrimp, wrapped in tapioca wrap.
Then back to the office to more paperwork and another meeting.
My brain must have been completely in a cloud. I promised my girls I would volunteer at their summer camp and tonight is the meeting to set the group, see which age group the director will place me. This is the theme is "Forever Green". Meeting starts at 6:30, will not be able to make it home, before the meeting, so Micky D's for snack!
Snack: Diced apples and McDonald fries.
I'm listed as a Unit Assistant Leader, I get to help and not do a lot of planning. They did not give me either of my girls' group, so I get to be mom to them and not a leader. At the moment, I am the leader for of their Girl Scout Troops.
Dinner: Hubby roasted a naked chicken and I make Chicken Grits w/flax, served with fruit.
I made it through a work day. Today has made me feel good. I am proud of myself on being able to adapt and I was able to be Gluten Free outside my home.
Tomorrow, will be better because:

Armed with shopping list and an overwhelming sense of I can do it. I found myself wandering around the store lost as a traveler in a foreign country.
In and out in 15 minutes, with food I can eat. Shopping list has 45 items on it, and all from a Gluten Free cookbook and items I can either pre-cook or take to work to eat.
Easy! Generally shopping takes 15-20 minute speed shopping.
Actual Results!
I knew I was in trouble the moment I walked in and head started swimming, the smell of fresh baked bread covered the entire store.
Veggies went great, the only problems, lots of fresh veggies.
On to Frozen food section, found out I was in trouble. EVERY bag of frozen veggies, fruit, taters, etc had warning labels of may contain Wheat! I swear almost got frost bite searching for frozen fruit to care to work, along with the rice soups, all of them called for frozen veggies. Finally found them all!
Now on to other items, nuts, corn tortillas, juices, chickpeas!
Baking supplies: This is the area I started getting upset, the store I was in has a very limited types of flour. Who would have thought cornmeal has wheat! Over half the recipes I pulled called for "cornmeal", no place where I read did it list that cornmeal was a concern for gluten. I know the poor employees thought I had a few too many drinks. I almost unloaded the shelves to see if the different brands, if any were gluten free. Finally found a small bag of cornmeal, which is fully gluten free cornmeal.
At this point I am wondering around with tears in my eyes, texting my best friend for moral support. She is awesome. I am so glad I have an awesome person outside the family to talk to!
After an hour and half long shopping trip, I stumble out of the grocery store.
I guess my problem is after living a Low Carb diet for years, I was excited I could try and find items to add to my diet, but in reality found out I have to remove even more.
In short: my dinner night after hour and half shopping spree:
Toasted Corn tortillas: with naked pan seared Chicken & Portabella Mushrooms, topped with Fresh baby Spinach, dried cranberries, soy nuts and GF Vinaigrette dressing. Just hope it was Gluten Free.
The family at the same, except they had pasta instead of the Corn Tortillas, both girls tried the tortillas but they hated it. I don't know what we are going to do, if the kids are positive.
PS: as a side note. My 9 year old just kicked me out of the kitchen to make dessert. She keeps running in here with packages for me to read the labels. I guess it is going to be ok.

Have you ever found yourself excited about finding out you had a disease?
Have you ever said YES! I have to make changes for the rest of my life and be happy you do?
Well I have. The last 10 years I have bounced around and around specialists: Cardiologist, Gastroenterologist, Rheumatologist, Endocrinologist and even yes even a therapist. Everyone has a way to relieve symptoms, but no one has a reason for them happening or a way to keep them from happening again.
In the last 9 days, my internist has found the reason, booked with a new Gastroenterologist and he has confirmed.
What has been found? Celiac Disease? What the heck is Celiac Disease? Why does this make me happy?
Celiac Disease: my body does not process a gluten, and because of this my small intestines have been damaged.
Why does this make me happy? After years of dealing with this unknown reason for how I feel, I have an answer and it is treatable.
How is it treated? Remove Gluten from my diet and life.
Are there other things to worry about? I still have to have my children tested to see if they have the positive blood test. If they do, we will remove gluten from their life also.
What changes are in store? The number one thing is to remove the obvious: Wheat, Rye, Barley and Oats. Sounds easy? You never realize how much you crave something until you can no longer have it. For me, it is rather simple. I have been on a low carbohydrate diet on and off for years, but now I can add back rice, corn and potatoes back into my diet, but my weakness. The item I always added back into my low carb as soon as I was at a point to start adding back is Oats. I love oatmeal.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not happy I have this disease, what I am happy about it that for the first time in years, there is name and a treatment for is making me ill. My energy will come back, I can walk a mile with my children, and I can have a hug from my children without hurting!
My only fear is that I passed on the gene and disease to my children, but I will let their doctor's review and we tackle if there is a problem.

"Only a week old, The Conduit is already building a nice community online. Interestingly enough many review sites are actually giving this game bad scores and reviews (Gamepro, Edge, etc.). Although for the many who are enjoying this title neither a score nor a review can take away the fact that The Conduit is actually a great online fps on Wii."
Having a blast. For being so new this game actually has a load of gamers playing online. Good ones too.
I thought online would be easier than it is. Man, it's tough. Lots of fun and fast paced. I think there is a divide with gamers on this game just like it was when the Wii first launched (during Wii Sports). The critics get overly critical and just don't know how to have fun and enjoy the game. I'm surprised at the amount of poorly reported features on a lot of the reviews. It's definitely the most fun I've had on the Wii system since I got it in 2006.

Carrie Underwood & Mike Fisher: New Couple?
Carrie Underwood may have her eyes set on a hot new boy — Canadian hockey player Mike Fisher.
The 25-year-old American Idol alum was spotted with her hair tied back at the "Ottawa Senators vs. Toronto Maple Leafs" hockey game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday (January 3). Carrie's 28-year-old Canuck cutie played with his fellow Senators but unfortunately lost out to the Leafs 3-1.
Carrie watched the game from the VIP box with Fisher's family, including his younger brother Bud. She was shown on the big Jumbotron screen's "Hug Cam" throughout the game as she hugged the two people sitting next to her.
"She looked like she was having a great time," a spywitness reveals to JustJared.com. "They have been talking for a while, but when the romance with Dr. Travis Stork didn't go anywhere, she decided to take some time for some hot hockey player action."
Before Stork, Carrie was romantically linked to Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher as a couple — YAY or NAY?

Ronald "Bud" Nathan Arthur was born on July 12, 1955, in Hood River, Ore., to Nathan "Nate" and Bernice Arthur. He was their second child and only boy among four sisters. Bud passed away on March 24, 2011, at his home in Portland, Ore.
Bud grew up and attended schools in Hood River, taking pride in his academic achievements, easily bringing home straight As and becoming the envy of his sisters. He graduated from Hood River Valley High School in 1973 and went on to attend Mt. Hood Community College before going to work for A.D.P. in Portland, until his employment with Pacific Northwest Bell Company in 1980.
After his early retirement from the phone company, Bud had several real estate investments with his partner, Jim Panos. He also enjoyed the time he spent working for the Multnomah County Election Board.
Bud loved warm weather and sunshine and adored his little dog, Ruby. He loved to cook and entertain, listen to music, and keep up with his soap operas. He also loved camping and gardening.
Bud traveled extensively throughout the world, one of his favorite places being New York, where he fell in love with theater.
Bud had a knack for making people laugh with his quick wit and playfulness. He was thoughtful and generous to an extreme, remembering all family birthdays with a special card and spoiling his nieces and nephew with money slipped inside. Every Christmas Bud would deliver gifts and treat baskets to his family, an array of candies and cookies made in his kitchen and from the heart.
Bud is survived by his partner of 30 years, Jim Panos, and his dear friend Joni Cloud, both from Portland, Ore.; parents Nate and Bernice Arthur, of Hood River, Ore.; sister Peggy and her husband, Mike May, of Portland; sister Susie and her husband, Randy Bell, of Hood River; sister Karen and her husband, Dwight Timm, of Eagle Creek, Ore.; sister Lori and her husband, Gene Fortune, of Hood River; many nieces and nephews, extended family members and numerous friends.
Bud left a huge imprint on all our hearts and he will be sorely missed by all he leaves behind.
A Celebration of Life honoring Bud will be held April 16 from 1-5 p.m. at Lakeside Gardens, 162 Foster Road, Portland, Ore. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to a favorite charity in Bud's name. For more information call 541-490-2575 or 541-490-6425.

CNBC has a new fan...possibly our youngest...thanks to our fiscal cliff coverage.
You know those clever little animations we throw on the TV to introduce segments about the fiscal cliff? Well Young Charlie, the son of an engineer for Toshiba in the Boston area, loves them. He laughs at them uproariously.
You can see his reaction in the YouTube video here. (Don't confuse it with another viral video also involving a young Charlie).
We're hoping it's the visual comedic value of the scene that's tickling his funny bone...and not the prospect of going over the cliff itself. Or maybe the notion of all those Congressional and White House folk running around trying to not sound partisan while actually being partisan is what's getting to him.
Either way, nice to see someone having a good time with it all.

Hey all I'm a fan from Philadelphia, PA. Been a fan for about 10 years. I loved the Dorsey pick FWIW, and I hope we can make some noise this year. Never been to Arrowhead, but my plan is to go this year for game #1.
I also have a 1969 Len Dawson jersey that I want to sell, and figure that this would be a great place to do so. Sorry if this is spamming, this is going to be my only post of this sort. An authentic Mitchell and Ness jersey.

It is wishful thinking to think the reported boorish behavior of Yankees fans toward Cliff Lee's wife during the ALCS will keep the talented left-hander out of the Bronx.
It certainly won't enhance the Mets' chances.
There are several factors – some still to happen – that will determine where Lee ends up this winter. The Yankees long appeared to be the frontrunners to land Lee, and that still holds true because they have the ability to write the largest checks.
Lee was traded by Cleveland, Philadelphia and Seattle in large part because those teams weren't going to re-sign Lee. Now, there's no guarantee Texas will, either, regardless of what happens in the World Series.
"Lee wants to go through the free agent process," one agent said. "He may very well stay in Texas, but he's going to test the market."
Lee has not been quoted as saying he won't play in New York, for either the Yankees or Mets, so until he does we can't eliminate the market. Lee will surely not rip New York over this because it will reduce his leverage in the free-agent market.
Because of the tax situation in New York in comparison to Texas, a New York team would have to blow the Rangers out of the water to land him. Reports have been the package would have to be $20 million to $40 million greater in New York to compensate for the tax issue.
Neither the Mets nor Yankees have established their budgets for 2011, but it is a solid assumption the Yankees' will be far greater.
Small town Mike Mussina was no great fan of New York when he played with the Orioles, but in the end he left for New York and adapted. As much as Lee might be a country boy, if the Yankees' offer is far superior to that from Texas or another team, he could still end up with the Yankees.
In comparison to the Mets, the Yankees can offer more money and a better chance to immediately win. That speaks volumes. And, the Yankees can offer a lot of financial love to apologize for their boorish, entitled fans.
And, when it comes to free agency, money usually speaks loudest.

CORRECTIONS- Removed ref; wrong name
Referee Ron Murray chases players down the field as Raleigh Rugby Team goes for a "try."
Though a caption announced his presence, rugby ref Ron Murray (above center) was inadvertently cropped out of this photo used to illustrate our April 6 story, "Rugby fever: A scrum, some blood, a few beers."
* In last week's On Architecture column ["Courthouse collapse: Engineers' time to shine (a light)," April 6], UVA engineering professor Thomas T. Baber offered insightful observations on the building's collapse and its chances for survival. Mr. Baber's name was misspelled in the column.

So there's this Christian kid from north Texas named Junior Garcia. Junior decided, as many Christians do, that the world is a vile, steaming cesspit of moral decay, and the best thing to do about that would be to go to Home Depot, buy some lumber, fashion it into a big cross, and drag it (on wheels, because it's not like he's doing this to suffer for our sins or anything) from Texas to Washington, D.C.
You may wonder what he hoped to accomplish by this feat. I mean, it's impressive, in the way that being the guy with the world record for hot dog eating is impressive. But in the end, I can't think of anything to say about it other than it's clearly a stunt for its own sake. I'm not sure what Junior expected when he made it to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Obama might have been too busy running the country and trolling Mitt Romney for the lulz to schedule a meeting. And it's not as if everyone just stopped sinning at all once, everywhere, as if all humanity was, in a flash, transformed into pious, prayerful pod people.
Nor were any cancer patients miraculously healed, wars stopped, severed limbs regrown, abused children delivered from pain. The clouds did not part as in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so that God could peer out and give this young man a divine fist-bump for a job well done. After all, as Eddie Izzard has pointed out, God had a prime opportunity to do that with the moon landing, and passed.
I'm being a bit facetious. I don't, of course, really think even Junior expected any of that to happen. But he still must have thought that dragging a cross thousands of miles would have contributed positively, in some meaningful and direct way, to people's lives and awaken them to America's "moral decline," whatever that is this week. Christians, naturally, are falling over themselves with praise for this inspiring young man and his impressive "accomplishment," which, apparently, makes him a role model up to whom all young people should look. (Hah! You can't catch me, grammar police!) Facebook, naturally, has brought the inanity in a big way. I have to say, whatever it is these people are so bowled over by is escaping me.
I have often wondered why people are so impressed by the shallowest expressions of what is supposedly a devoutly held belief, like little yellow magnets on the backs of their trucks to "support the troops," as long as they don't have to hear the names of the ones who died today on the news.
Don't get me wrong. I have no doubt that this was physically an impressive feat.* But what material good does it do anyone? What is it other than a big act of religious showboating, allowing the young man to bask in the approval of his fellow churchgoers and other Christians who hear about him in the news? And why do so many Christians find it so impressive when you'd think they could, if nothing else, find a faith-based charity or something that's actually doing things to have some positive impact (like this one I found at random) and heap their praise upon them?
I don't mean to fall into any binary thinking here. I'm sure most of the people praising this young man would also have praise for real acts of charity, depending on just how much "poor people suck" messaging from right-wing media they've allowed themselves to absorb. There are so many ways a person could make a public statement about his beliefs that would positively impact the lives of others, and many many believers and atheists alike have done such things all down the years. But I guess this kind of public performance art — and not feeding the homeless or helping underprivileged kids with their educations, or spending years and years of study and research looking for scientific cures for the ills that plague us — is what gets your face in the media, eh?
* Or, not so much. Some readers have discovered that the cross weighed a mere 15 pounds, meaning Junior could have carried it in one hand while walking, and a good portion of the "walk" was done in a car. Now that's inspirational!
