arzel_xt2 theme

if you don’t see a big foody head on the top, you should click here

this my new validated xhtml strict theme. it’s originally created by yusop.net. as usual, i heavily modified it for this domain. i created a different header image and made it validate xhtml 1.0 strict instead of transitional. i really like its professional yet cute look.

in addition, dodo’s precious moments center is completely revamped with brand new and self written ecard script. i’m a bit proud about the live preview javascript. this is the most intensive javascript i’ve ever had to write. it’s a lot of fun and end result is also very rewarding. i enjoyed every second of it ^__^

Aspartame (used in diet drinks, sweet n lowe etc) was not approved until 1981, in dry foods. For over eight years the FDA refused to approve it because of the seizures and brain tumors this drug produced in lab animals. The FDA continued to refuse to approve it until President Reagan took office (a friend of Searle) and fired the FDA Commissioner who wouldn’t approve it. Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes was appointed as commissioner. Even then there was so much opposition to approval that a Board of Inquiry was set up. The Board said: “Do not approve aspartame”. Dr. Hayes OVERRULED his own Board of Inquiry.
