Feb. 25, 2013
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama men's basketball team will host the Auburn Tigers on Tuesday night at Coleman Coliseum. The contest is set to tip off at 6 p.m. CT and will be televised on ESPNU.
In addition to the action that will take place on the court, there will also be plenty of excitement for fans surrounding the contest.
Prior to the game, fans will have a chance to meet former Alabama standout Robert Horry, who will be signing autographs in the main concourse of Coleman Coliseum from 4:30-6 p.m. The former UA great will sign one item per person and no pictures will be allowed during the autograph session.
In addition to the pregame festivities, head coach Nick Saban and the 2012 national championship football team will be on hand to accept the Omicron Delta Kappa (ODK) FOY Sportsmanship Trophy during halftime.
"We're looking forward to getting back on the court and facing our in-state rival, Auburn," UA head coach Anthony Grant said. "Obviously we are coming off of a tough road loss in our last game, but I think our guys have been able to put that behind us and understand that we've got to take care of today. Our focus right now is on Auburn; the last time we played them was a very tough defeat. I felt like we got outplayed in a lot of ways and a lot of it was in the effort department, so we've got to refocus and understand that we've got to play extremely well. If you look at the series, when our two teams get together, pretty much every game has come down to the wire. Pretty much every game is a battle when our two teams get together, so we're looking forward to the challenge."
Alabama and Auburn will meet for the second time in 20 days when the teams square off on Tuesday night. In the first meeting between the two squads, back on Feb. 6 at Auburn Arena, the Crimson Tide were held to only 37 points in a 49-37 loss to the Tigers. It was Auburn's only victory in its past 12 contests.
The Crimson Tide (18-9, 10-4 SEC) enters the game tied for second place in the SEC standings. Most recently, the Tide had its four-game winning streak snapped with a triple overtime 97-94 loss at LSU on Saturday. Junior guard Trevor Releford scored a career-high 36 points on 14-of-18 shooting from the floor in the losing effort. In addition, he became the school's all-time steals leader, recording three steals in the contest. He now has 178 steals during his three-year career. Sophomore guard Rodney Cooper added 18 points and a team-high nine boards.
Despite the setback, UA has won six of its last eight games and 10 of its last 13 coming into Tuesday's match-up.
Releford comes into the game as the team's top scorer. A preseason All-SEC honoree, Releford ranks fifth in the league in scoring at 15.4 ppg. He also tops the squad in three-point field goal percentage (.423), steals per game (2.1) and free throw shooting (.817), and ranks second on the team in assists (2.7 apg).
Sophomore guard Trevor Lacey is second on the team in scoring with 11.9 points per game. Coming into Tuesday's contest, Lacey leads the team in threes made (46) and attempted (122) and assists (3.1 apg).
Combined, the duo of Releford and Lacey contribute 27.3 points per game, or approximately 43 percent of the team's 63.6 points per game.
Meanwhile, Cooper also averages double figures with 11.4 ppg and has reached double-digits in seven consecutive contests coming into Tuesday's game. He leads the team in rebounding (4.7 rpg), offensive rebounding (2.0 orpg) and total field goals attempted (272).
Auburn comes into Tuesday's showdown sporting a 9-18 overall mark and a 3-11 record in SEC play. After opening the conference season with a 2-0 mark, the Tigers have lost 11 of their last 12 contests, with the lone win coming over the Tide back on Feb. 6 in Auburn, Ala.
The Tigers are led on the year by senior guard Frankie Sullivan, who tops the team in several categories, including scoring (14.7 ppg), field goals made (128) and attempted (340) and three pointers made (47) and attempted (164).
Junior guard Chris Denson is the only other player on AU's squad to average double figures, with 11.3 ppg. Senior center Rob Chubb is averaging 8.7 points and a team-leading 6.8 rebounds a contest.
Tuesday's game will mark the 147th meeting on the hardwood between the two schools, which is the fourth-most games UA has played against any one opponent. The Crimson Tide owns an 89-57 edge in the series. UA owns an all-time record of 37-7 when playing Auburn in Coleman Coliseum. The Tide is 44-8 when hosting AU in Tuscaloosa.
The contest can also be heard on the Crimson Tide Sports Network, with Chris Stewart and Bryan Passink on the call. Fans can follow the in-game action with live tweets on the team's official Twitter page @AlabamaMBB.
Head Coach Anthony Grant
Key to bouncing back from tough losses:"I think our guys are resilient. I think every challenge that myself or our coaching staff puts in front of them, they've tried to answer. Now we've had our ups and downs, but I think for the most part they've responded when we've had those situations. So, every situation's different. This one is different than any of the other ones, so we've just got to be ready and take it one day at a time."
Importance of last stretch of the season, specifically regarding NCAA tournament hopes:"We're taking it one game at a time. This game we have tomorrow is the most important game of the season. So for us, at least for me, I can't see any farther than tomorrow. That's my total focus and we've just got to take care of ourselves and take care of the game that's in front of us."
On the roller coaster type of season:"I would say that there's been ups and downs and I think most seasons you have ups and downs. But right now we're in second place – tied for second with Kentucky in the league – and like I've told you guys before, our focus is on making sure that we do what we need to do to secure a top-four seed as we head into the SEC tournament. That we can control. The games that are left, we've got to focus one game at a time and just take care of us. We can't change what's happened in the past, we can't predict the future, but we can control right now – our attitudes and our effort – and that's what we've got to be able to do."
LSU game evidence that Releford should shoot more often:"When you go (14-of-18), that's pretty good shooting. But obviously in a basketball game, there are five defenders out there, there are game plans that you go through and there are four other guys on your team as well; so it's always going to be a team game. So for him to get 36 in the game, as highly contested as that was, I think that speaks to his toughness and his teammates' ability to get him the ball when he's open and just a lot of different things that go on over the course of a forty-minute game. So I thought he gave us a great effort; unfortunately it didn't come in a winning effort."
Senior Guard Andrew Steele
On how the team bounces back from tough losses:"Coach does a good job of making us focus on the moment, he always lets us know that, no matter what happened the game before. Every game is different and we have to focus on that, even in games, we need to focus on the present moment and not the past play. I think that we do a good job of not letting things get on our back and look forward."
On the NCAA Tournament: "Each game is important. We have always been taught to control what we can control. In terms of the selection committee, we can't control what they decide but we can control how we come out and play each game. Our next game is Auburn and if we can't get focused and prepared to play those guys then we don't have a chance. It is just the next game that is the most important one."
On the triple overtime: "We are ready to go. We have conditioned enough and prepared for what we have to face. We have also had a couple of days to recover so we are ready to go."
On his ankle: "It is one of those things that is day-to-day. In a perfect world I would have no pain. When I get in a game I am focused on so many other things that I put it in the back of my mind and just try to do whatever I can to help us win."
On if the Auburn loss sticks out: "Every loss sticks out. I think that it was disappointing the way we came out in the second half with a lack of focus and energy. That is what ultimately determined the game and Auburn came out ready to play. Against LSU, we had some mental breakdowns but we fought and they fought. You have to give them credit; they made the plays that we were unable to make. You try to learn from every game and I think we have learned from the Auburn game, and tomorrow we will be able to prove what we learned from LSU."
On Trevor Releford's night: "The bigger the moment the better he plays. I don't think that his thing was, 'I am going to go out there and try to score,' it was just whenever we needed a bucket or play he took what the defense gave him. He is such a great player and can do things that does not look like is there. He can see things that other people might not be able to see. His shooting has gotten a lot better as well."

NRVE (No Regard Video Exclusives) are our videos. We shoot them, we cut them, we post them. You watch them. It's that simple. Check back for more on-the-spot video updates from major basketball events and original content that hopefully makes you laugh as much as Steve Nash's YouTube channel.
We told you there was more.
Our second NRVE showcases two of our favorite moments from Thursday night's WBF Radio City festivities: Rajon Rondo throwing an insane, game-winning, alley-oop pass to Tyson Chandler during sudden death overtime, and then subsequently standing around awkwardly trying to find a seat in a packed Radio City Music Hall.
Rondo's alley-oop was a moment unlike anything we've ever seen in a basketball game. Granted, there was really nothing but pride on the line for this game, but we still couldn't believe it. You see, basketball just doesn't do sudden death overtime. They do double-overtime, or triple-overtime, but never 'you get dunked on, you lose'. Not unless there's a good reason, and the good folks at the WBF had one hell of a good reason.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Jay-Z."
See that's just the thing about this event. It was a basketball game, it was a celebration of a sport, a city, and a lifestyle, but it was also a Jay-Z concert. You could feel it in the crowd, and you could feel it on the court: Jay-Z was in the building. Hell, sometimes it even felt like Durant and Co. were playing for their tickets to see Hova perform.
The second part of the video of course is the strangest, and certainly best part. Not ten minutes after winning the game for the blue team and electrifying Radio City Music Hall, Rajon Rondo, along with Derrick Rose and Eric Gordon, found themselves without a place to sit. Yes it's true, apparently the NBA superstars, the LeBron's, Wade's and Melo's were given courtside seats to tweet and play grabass, but the dudes winning the game had no place to sit by the time Jay came out to perform. Someone told Rondo, "Play for Jay-Z tickets!" So he did. And he won. And then he sat cross-legged on the floor like a third-grader listening to a reading of "Shiloh" and watched Jay-Z perform his favorite songs. I'm just kidding. What they ACTUALLY did was kick an old, white guy out of his chair for the grumpy Celtics guard. But still... That awkward ten minutes is a moment I won't soon forget, and neither should you, so send this video to your friends and loved ones... NOW.

I don't get it, what's funny. I'm sure they have the money and opportunity to get front seats to any concert they choose. I'm sure this won't kill their happiness anytime soon.ReplyDelete

When last West Virginia and Texas played, Eron Harris was more of a curiosity than anything else.
Yes, he'd played some minutes for the Mountaineers. In fact, in some of those earlier games he'd played a lot. He was on the floor for 28 minutes against Oakland. He made key shots when it mattered against then-unbeaten Virginia Tech and soon-to-be-No. 1 Michigan.
But there were also times when Bob Huggins would simply ignore the freshman guard. He played three minutes against Oklahoma in Orlando and two against Marshall. In six of the games to that point, he'd failed to exceed 10 minutes of court time. Heading into the Texas game on Jan. 9 in Austin, Harris had averaged 12.6 minutes per game, but that number was actually dropping.

"Back in the day," I wish I'd been old enough to hang out in Greenwich Village (late 1950s through the early 1960s). New York beckoned to me as a child in Baltimore. I picked up radio signals on a short wave. What a time it was for music, art, poetry, dance, and theater in that town.
The Coen brothers' latest film, set in 1961 in the Village, centers on a musician. This is the time before the heydey when Dylan, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Joan Baez brought bigger crowds to the place. In this percolating atmosphere, musicians played for tips, lived hand-to-mouth, and eked out livings. But, there was a joy in sharing traditional American music with other musicians.
What was this music? It was that of the Delta blues and the traditional ballads that had made their way to Appalachia from Ireland and England. A revival, of sorts, of this music was going on, supported by musicians who looked back and then re-worked it. Along the way, these hipsters scorned pop artists like the Kingston Trio as sell-outs, and had conflicts with coffeehouse owners and managers who wanted dollars and commercial success.
Remember Dave Van Ronk? No? (As an aside, his reworking of the traditional folk song " Rising Sun Blues" into the version of "The House of the Rising Sun" popularized by The Animals was on Bob Dylan's first album, even though it was one of Van Ronk's signature tunes and he had planned to record it himself.)
"Inside Llweyn Davis" was influenced by Dave Van Ronk and his autobiography, "The Mayor of MacDougal Street." In this book, he recounted the days when musicians shared their love of authentic folk all the while others copped out to the search for the spotlight in the larger world of popular music. To artists like Dave Van Ronk, the truth of the music mattered.
The amazing cinematography, storytelling, and music production (of T-Bone Burnett, of course), capture the sensibility of this unique era in American musical history. The film covers a week in the life of folksinger Llewyn Davis, played by Oscar Isaac, a Julliard graduate. Isaac is joined occasionally by Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan (as the duo Jim and Jean). Llewyn wants to communicate authentic American music. Jim and Jean have a more commercial take on the art form, and are on the verge of "popular" success.
Smaller roles in the film are played magnificently. John Goodman (a favorite of the Coen brothers) plays a curmudgeonly jazz musician named Roland Turner who criticizes Davis as they drive together from New York to Chicago. One of my favorites, F. Murray Abraham, is Bud Grossman, a club owner who only looks at musicians for dollar signs. Grossman dismisses Davis, seeing him as someone who can't make him money. Yet, the voice of Davis soars, beautifully expressing the emotions and depth of the tunes.
All music is actually sung in the film (not lip synched), giving it a purity. Also, the musicians sing complete songs, almost placing the viewing audience in the room with the performers. "Inside Lewyn Davis" replicates, as much as any current film can, the look, style, and sounds of the folk scene of 1961 in the Village.
And themes that prevailed for musicians and artist still prevail today: the conflict between pure and commercial art, between the hope for fame and the desire to maintain individuality, and the wish to create new even while drawing on music of the past. This artful film reinforces that the same quest continues today in garages, coffee houses, and streets to live creatively and maybe, just maybe, make a living of it while maintaining personal integrity.
"Inside Llweyn Davis" has been critically acclaimed (though essentially snubbed by the Oscar nominations, though there's a nod for its cinematography and sound mixing). It has won the Grand Prix award at Cannes, has been nominated for 3 Golden Globes (Best Motion Picture, Best Performance by an Actor, Best Original Song), and has won numerous awards, including Best Film, Best Cinematography, and Best Director (National Society of Film Critics) and Best Music from the LA Film Critics Association.
It's interesting that a film that has won 28 awards and has 69 nominations did not receive more recognition from the Oscars, but in one sense, that is a theme of the film. If one remains true to oneself and shuns selling out to be more commercial, one remains in the shadows.
Check out the trailer (above left) and this featurette to get a sense of the film. There is also more information on the film at its website.
Right now in Albuquerque, this film is screening at the Century Rio 24 and XD, 4901 Pan American Freeway NE and UA High Ridge 8, 12921 Indian School NE. The film is scheduled for a wide release on January 24.

Don't kill the death horse!
The notorious evil blue mustang with the glowering red eyes that greets arrivers and departers to and from DIA is eligible for removal under Denver's rules pertaining to public art. Some people actually want it gone.
I say don't kill the death horse. It's the most completely badass installation of all. It's cooler than the Convention Center's big blue bear, more memorable than the dancers on the grounds of the DCPA. It's hauntingly beautiful, delightfully intimidating and distinctively "Denver". In the five short years that it's been mounted along Pena Boulevard it's become part of our community's rugged personality.
Besides, the death horse killed its own sculptor. What fate would we be tempting if we were to intentionally dislodge it? The ghost of Luis Jimenez would probably be really pissed off. DIA is an airport, for heaven's sake. Safety is of the utmost importance. We cannot expose passengers to other-wordly scorn. The death horse can't be nearly as scary as the curse of the death horse would be.
It's been said that we should leave the horse but mute its fiery red eyes – that somebody should paint over them. Why not slap a Wahoo's Fish Tacos decal over the Mona Lisa's smile while you're at it? These complainers are the same people who bitch about the 59' Impala in your back yard, the dirty neighborhood Thai restaurant, bullying in schools and anything else you can't but at Costco.
Art is supposed to get your attention. The very fact that people either love or hate the death horse and his frightening glare is proof positive that it is doing its job standing out there between the traffic lanes. Nobody has ever seen it for the first time and had zero reaction. It invokes a feeling nearly every time two eyes land upon it. For some that feeling is dread, for others it's exhilaration, either way it's better than feeling nothing.
The death horse is just plain part of Denver now. Just like Casa Bonita, Confluence Park, Rocky Flats, Federal Boulevard and Elitch Gardens. It's not perfect, but it belongs here. If you don't think so it's you who should be moved.

- 1 tablespoon dried mustard powder

Private sector wages rose faster than benefits last year
May 19, 2000
Wages in private industry rose 3.0 percent from $13.47 per hour in March 1998 to $13.87 in March 1999. Over the same period, the employers' cost of benefits rose 2.2 percent to $5.13.
As a result, the share of total compensation accounted for by wages and salaries edged up to 73 percent. The year ending in March 1999 was the fifth in a row in which wages gained as a share of compensation.
The portions of compensation that recorded the largest declines as a share of compensation since 1994 were insurance (particularly health insurance) and workers' compensation programs.
These data are a product of the BLS Employment Cost Trends program. Additional information is available from "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, 1986-99," BLS Bulletin 2526.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Private sector wages rose faster than benefits last year on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2000/may/wk3/art05.htm (visited June 27, 2016).

According to Friday's Post-Gazette, the 21-year-old man who stabbed and fatally wounded a police canine in Pittsburgh, Penn., is being held on $1 million bail.
On Friday morning, John L. Rush was arraigned and the judge set his bail at $1 million.
On Tuesday, police officers attempted at arrest Rush, a convicted sex offender, but the man attacked them, along with the police canine who was assisting. In the assault, the dog was stabbed numerous times, his handler was stabbed and two other police officers were injured.
The canine, an eight-year-old German shepherd named "Rocco," was seriously injured in the attack, suffering wounds to his kidney, spine and back. On Thursday evening, the wounded dog went into cardiac arrest and passed away.
Rush was facing warrants prior to Tuesday's incident - now, he is facing felony charges of abusing a police animal, disarming a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, burglary and misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty, resisting arrest and possessing instruments of a crime.

April 6th, 2014, Imperial Beach, CA
One of their latest projects is to paint an entire car for the expressed purpose of demolition. The Art Kids of San Diego County, are hand painting a car for the Imperial Beach Fire Department so that driver and fireman Ehren Kahle can drive it in the June 7th demolition derby at the Del Mar Fair grounds. It is important to make it look fantastic, a real piece of art so that people will take notice of this vehicle while it is being destroyed, Stated the director of, The Art Kids of San Diego County."(TAKOSDC)
The kids are taking this project very seriously as they wish to show people what they are capable of doing with their paint and brushes. Photos will be taken before, during, after the painting is done and after the derby is finished. I think that the car will represent a whole new type of art sculpture after the derby. Each one of the art kids who worked on this project will sign the vehicle where they did the most work.
The vehicle will be painted with all the sponsors logos, various characters, numbers and designs as to make the vehicle a true piece of colorful art. The vehicle is being worked on at the Imperial Beach Fire station and will be done for the demolition derby in June. TAKOSDC is using acrylic paint which is very good for this application because it dries quickly and has a long artistic life. In this case though the long life is not really important, it only has to last until June.
The purpose of this endeavor is to support and raise money for the Burn institute. It is important that people become aware of just what the institute does and how hard they work to help those who suffer from burns. For TAKOSDC it is extremely important because many of the burn victims are kids and The Art Kids want them to know that they care for everyone, especially kids. It is kids helping kids and making a difference within the community.

Dead Head OG – The Cali Connection
Kush strains of varying degrees of pedigree are flooding the market these days but few have the long-lasting power of real deal OG. One version that certainly doesn't fall into the watered-down category is the Dead Head OG from The Cali Connection. Breeder Swerve sprinkled his male San Fernando Valley OG Kush pollen onto a female Chemdog '91 cut to produce seeds of the finest order.
Crack open a greasy nugget of Dead Head OG and an intense lemon and fuel odor emanates throughout the room. Fire it up and marvel at the accompanying buzz, felt in the head and body for several hours both introspective and giggly. The yields are quite reasonable for the relatively short flowering time.
Lineage: Chemdog 91 (aka the Skunk VA cut) x SFV OGK F4
Flowering time: 56 days

In the most infamous, discordant moment of an otherwise pretty brilliant TV series, Jesse Plemmons' character on Friday Night Lights, Landry, killed a man, early in the second season. I've got a feeling if he does so in his new role, it won't be quite so jarring.
Plemmons will appear on the upcoming season of Breaking Bad, TV Line reported Wednesday. His character on the show is described as "a dependable, innocuous, working-class guy."
The show is scheduled to return in July, for the first part of a two-part final season, but an exact premiere date has not been announced.
Plemmons also has a part in "Battleship," which comes out this week.

Libyan Crude Flows Restart, Again

Trading screens may have been dominated by headlines about Ukraine in recent times, but for oil traders there is a longer-running supply-side issue: Libya.
It's been three years since the fall of Moammar Ghadafi, who was swept up by the Arab Spring. Libya, a major producer of coveted sweet crude, has since been in a state of turmoil, with violence, division and political unrest continuing to this day.
The oil industry in the country with Africa's largest reserves has been in suspended animation. The effect on companies operating there has been brutal.
Now there may be signs of a breakthrough. Crude flows have resumed from major oil-producing fields of El Sharara, El Feel and Wafa and the pipelines linking them to the Zawiya exports terminal, The Wall Street Journal's Benoit Faucon reports.
The fields together produce 500,000 barrels a day, and their resumption will push total Libyan daily crude output up to 750,000 barrels.
There are two caveats. Although such a large increase is welcome, this still leaves Libyan producing at half its normal capacity. Also, this is far from the first time that talk of normality has emerged from Libya.
Six rapidly melting glaciers in Antarctica are destabilizing one of the world's largest ice sheets and, if unchecked, this could release enough water to raise sea levels world-wide significantly in centuries to come.
Who says? Researchers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of California. They state that the glacial retreat may already have reached the point of no return, the Journal's Robert Lee Hotz reports.
In the U.S., meanwhile, The White House rollout of a climate-change report has been met with marked indifference by the polled populace. Perhaps they are being wooed by editorials talking of scare tactics and "unscientific panic."
Presidential would-be Marco Rubio knows on which side of the fence he sits, disclaiming the idea that the consequences of climate change can be averted provided governments act aggressively.
Unexpected news from the turkey pen: this year, they are voting for Christmas.
Oklahoma oil man George Kaiser is breaking with fellow energy executives in asking the state to raise taxes on oil companies, including his own.
Energy companies in Oklahoma pay 7% tax on oil and gas revenue. But to encourage drilling with more costly shale wells, the rate is 1% for the first four years.
Mr. Kaiser believes a higher tax on oil-and-gas production could help the state pay for education and much needed infrastructure improvements, the Journal's Daniel Gilbert reports.

Brent crude oil ticked lower Tuesday as news of Libyan oil-field restarts received a muted welcome

Infectious agents from terrestrial animals, including domestic cats, livestock and even humans are spreading to the oceans and threatening our sea life. A new term has been coined to describe the land-based bacteria, fungi and parasites that travel into our seas: pollutagens (polluting pathogens). A feature in this month's Scientific American details numerous cases of these pollutagens and suggests that they may be on the rise.
A key example is the Toxoplasa gondii parasite that travels from domestic cats, via their faeces, into natural irrigation and waste disposal systems and on to marine animals such as sea otters and dolphins.
The hardy nature of the parasite, combined with the huge numbers of domestic cats (around 70 million domestic and 60 million feral felines in the U.S. alone), gives some idea of the potential scale of the problem.
The mere appearance of such pollutagens is not the only issue of concern, however.Scientists have also found that many of the bacteria found in these marine organisms are resistant to medications, which could have implications for the treatment of infections in both the marine organisms and other animals (including humans) that are exposed to them. Further, viruses may be mutating and combining with other viruses to form strains with increased virulence and transmissibility. The feature suggests some key actions that could be taken to manage the problem of pollutagens, including preserving wetlands that act as a buffer zone between sources of pollutagens, such as farms and towns, keeping pets indoors, and disposing of human and animal sewage more responsibly.

A Rockingham County grand jury indicted a former employee at a city dental office accused of stealing roughly $130,000 from her employer.
Jeannie Braithwaite, age unknown, of New Market, was indicted Monday on six felony counts of embezzlement.
It's unclear if she has been arrested.
Following her indictment in Rockingham County Circuit Court, Judge T.J. Wilson scheduled her to appear on June 12 for a pre-trial motions hearing.
Prosecutors say the joint investigation by the Harrisonburg Police Department and Virginia State Police began in June when there were tax irregularities found with the business, owned by Dr. Anna-Marie Boggs.
The investigation led to Braithwaite, who worked as a receptionist, prosecutors say.
Five of the embezzlement counts are related to the business, where Braithwaite worked for roughly two decades.
Braithwaite has been terminated by the employer, sources say.
A sixth felony charge is in connection with the theft of at least $5,000 from a relative of Braithwaite's who is in a nursing home. Prosecutors say Braithwaite had power of attorney for the relative.

Dr. Oz recently illuminated the health (and taste) benefits of Sriracha, the Asian chili sauce. It helps keep blood pressure down and relax blood vessels. We are going to extrapolate this into Killer Ramen being essential to your diet, and being rather tasty.
The dish takes between 10-15 minutes and is a college dorm staple. Its satisfaction was tested under rigorous standards and proved a satisfying supplement for shitty boarding school food. It might not be a resume booster, but knowing how to make Killer Ramen has its benefits (e.g. instant company, even if they are just there for the food). You won't regret taking the time to perfect the dish; nor will your stomach.
Ingredients- makes 1 serving
- 1 packet of Ramen, Thai or Buckwheat noodles
- Soy Vey Teriyaki Sauce
- Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 egg
- 1 table spoon of cilantro
- Bring pot of water to a boil and cook noodles until al dente
- Strain noodles and place in sauté pan over medium heat
- Put 2-3 table spoons of Soy Vey into pan with noodles and ½ table spoon of cilantro and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring/flipping noodles every 30 seconds
- Put 1-2 more table spoons of Soy Vey and ½ table spoon of cilantro into pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring/flipping noodles every 30 seconds
- Crack egg into pan and stir with noodles (the egg should coat the noodles) and stir/cook until noodles bunch together (and the egg isn't shiny)
- Place as much Sriracha as you can bare (we put in around 1 tea spoon) and mix together
- Place noodles in bowl and top with a dash of cilantro
- Enjoy— then repeat every day for the rest of your life

This is a remake of the old Korean MTV by Cho PD, in his song called "Fever". This song was in one of his very first albums.
To get the actual song, go to:
Look for the row that says "Fever",
look for the column that says "다운", it should have a little icon of an arrow pointing down, click on it and it should open up a new window. Once the new window opens, right click on the red words that says "다운받기", then click "save link as". -The song should start downloading, good luck!

I have recently installed Ubuntu 12.04 on the Windows partition of my Macbook Pro Model 8.1. Everything seemed to go smoothly during installation however as I am trying to connect to wireless internet, I have had no luck.
I have gone to the update manager and installed all of the updates that were ready on my first usage of Ubuntu. I have rebooted and there is still no sign of connectivity. I went to add additional drivers and there is one listed - 'Broadcom STA wireless driver.' When I go to activate this driver, I receive an error message that reads 'Sorry, installation of this driver failed. Please have a look at the log file for details:

The pool size is way off in this picture, and my story is not about swimming cats. I just painted this so as not to compromise the privacy of my friends who take part in the wonderful hobby/sport of water aerobics. (I also didn't want to get my camera near the pool.)
None of us who take part in senior water aerobics in this area are bathing beauties or beach hunks. Some are in it just for exercise and fun, but many of us have started the activity on medical advice. I myself, being post-stroke, have a nasty tendency to leg spasms and related pains; others have more severe problems, including Parkinson's. The medical truth is that older muscles are easier to exercise in water. People with weight problems can also benefit.
Senior water aerobics classes are offered by YMCAs and by many municipal park systems. Cost per session is minimal; in some places, sessions are free. Each session is led by a trained employee. I have been amazed at the expertise these employees have both in body mechanics and human relationships. Included in the exercises are hand and wrist exercises I first learned in rehab nearly 20 years ago. There are also cardio exercises, and plenty for those pesky legs.
I have never been a swimmer and felt a little shy about going into these sessions. To my amazement, I have watched various aerobics trainers work to find some way each person can work each exercise. They are invariably patient and understanding of the fact that I must leave 35% of my hearing capacity in the dressing room. (NEVER get hearing aids around water.) Aerobics classes often use shallow pools (3 feet 6 inches to 5 feet water depth), or at least the shallow end of regular pools. I can wear my glasses throughout the class, and many women also wear jewelry, especially earrings.
Classes are mixed races and mixed sexes; often a lot of socializing is done before class and even at intervals during class. Some attendees use shorts and a tee shirt instead of regular bathing suits. No one appears self-conscious over physical appearance or any disability. In the ladies' dressing room, everyone peels out of her suit without any apparent self-consciousness. After all, we're all in the same boat – older citizens who need exercise and community.
In the camaraderie of class, I soon found myself doing things that would feel stupid otherwise – like pretending to jump rope with the doodles (or noodles) I have pictured. We jog in place with the doodles, play jumping jacks, and swing the things like bats. There are also exercises with water weights and kick boards. We get going, and the years sort of melt away. By jingo, we're having FUN!
