Has anybody who has worked in China or Korea suggest a reason why so many Asian students adopt really wierd "English" names? You seldom see it with Japanese but in my latest classes I have Apple, Rock and Single for starters (all from China). My colleagues have Forest, Stone & Earth. Are they direct translations of their Chinese names or what?

Back to top WolfJoined: 10 May 2003Posts: 1245Location: Middle Earth Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2003 3:35 am Post subject: Yeah, the Japanese students never have English names. But the Chinese all do. Actually, a couple of months ago, my Chinese students asked me what my Chinese name was. I told them that I wasn't from China (in case they hadn't figured it out yet ) and that non Chinese people seldom had Chinese names. I also don't have a Swahili name, but that didn't seem to matter. Anyway, they told me to choose on the spot. So I chose "lang," which means wolf. I feel like a wolf most days: I perefer smaller groups, I shy away from tons of attention, I travel great distances to find my next meal, and everyone thinks I'm dangerous when research shows I'm not. They told me that "lang" would only be good as an internet name. So I used it here. In China I have a Win, Whisky, and Sasaki. Sasaki Koujiro was the name of a famous Japanese sammurai, who is famous for being a jerk and getting himself killed in a duel with Myamoto Musashi (the guy from my sig file.) That kills me: I have at least 3 students whose "English" names are Japanese (they all watch Japanese cartoons.) I have lots of Andys (from Andy Lou the Hong Kong singer guy.) I have Apples and Diasys etc. I honestly for the life of me don't understand. Then again, I honestly for the life of me don't understand English Corners, Crazy English, or why I asked for 180 book reports and had the same 6 books reported on 30 times (they didn't plagerize - I beat that out of them. They just all read the same bloody books. ARGH!) They do that in Korea ... interesting. The Koreans I knew in Japan had Japanese names, but I thought it was just to escape the prejudices (man, if I could 90% blend in by taking a Chinese name, I'd fly back to Canada and get mine legally changed.) I guess I have nothing usful to add.... I heard that it used to be standard way back in the day to give ESL students "English Names", but that practice was discontinued because it was demeaning to the students. That's what I would think.

When I worked in Japan, I had two little girls in my kids' group; they were sisters. One was called 'Yumi' and the other was called 'Yuki' with the 'u' being pronounced as a long vowel, like the 'u' in tube. I used to call them 'yummy' and 'yucky', as in delicious and disgusting. When they finally found out what yummy and yucky meant, we all had a good laugh. In fact I'm still laughing 4 years later. Even their mother thought it was funny! In Korea, I had many odd names to deal with, as any Korean vet will attest. The funniest were these 2: 1. Suk Won (use your imagination here) and 2. Duk Man (quack quack) And then there's the very common Filipino nickname 'Bong'. OK. I'm finished now. Have a nice day! Back to top arioch36Joined: 21 Jan 2003Posts: 3589 Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2003 12:42 pm Post subject: There is a real answer to your questions. Chinese names are different. In English most family names originally had meaning (unimaginative Copperson ...son of the Cooper) Well their Chinese given names really do have meaning. Haiyan is ocean bird or Seagull. Various kinds of flowers or rocks are names in Chinese, etc. Then they want to get names from a dictionary, becuase that is how they do it in China. I tried explaining to a student why you shouldn't call yourself careless. I just tell girls ( and boys) you can't call yourself Cherry. Of course the boys want Figo, Beckham etc for their names (soccer/football stars). I explain these are family names. Some of the other names are worse. There is an occassional thread on it, Kitty, is fine, but another name for a kitty isn't so good??? Personally, I always teach at least one class on names, how we use them. I make all my students have "proper" names. To me, it is part of learning the culture. They need to learn to use and understand western names iof they ever deal with the wesy. And let's be honest, most of us can't say or remember their Chinese names. I still don't understand Russian or Japanese names. But being able to say a person's name correctly, mucho important. They need to learn IMHO.

Also - our names "mean something" - my daughter's name is Zoe, which means "life" - that doesn't mean I call her "life" or that she should translate her name into Chinese as "life". My current favourite is a female student who calls herself "Windy" - now you probably have to be a NZer to get the joke, but the student advisor's name is Wendy.

The thread was not about their Chinese names, bu about their english name. So, you will let your students walk around calling herself Careless, or F*ck? I have met foreign teachers like you who believe that is so cute. I totally disagree with your approach! Your aprroach would have your daughter being called sheng 生 ? If your daughter was studying Chinese as her major, and that name is innapropiate in China, I hope she doesn't have a teacher like you, but one that will tell her chinese don't use names like that (if that is the case) We are the foreign teacher. It is our job to judge which names are suitable, and which are not, for those of us who believe names are an important part of culture and self identity. Most students want to know this information, in my experience. Even if they didn't, i would still them, just like my approach is to tell them when I think they are using bad english etc. So your approach is to just let students speak bad english? After all who is to say if their usage is "proper" YOU. YOUR PAID JOB! DO IT Back to top arioch36Joined: 21 Jan 2003Posts: 3589 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2003 5:40 am Post subject: sheng..

All my Japanese & Thai students use their REAL names & we have no problem pronouncing them or remembering them. All I want to find out is why do Chinese students specifically change their names - some have a different one each year which is very confusing for the office staff (I guess that is fashion). I am also aware that amongst permanent residents we do have a growing number of Chinese & Korean Christians so it may be understandable if they choose a "christian" name for their baptism. Back to top arioch36Joined: 21 Jan 2003Posts: 3589 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2003 9:00 am Post subject: Sorry to misunderstand. Some teachers think it is cute for having english names that would only be laughed at. It is not a baptism thing. Very few Chinese students in china believe or are baptized. They just don't understand western names. Some will change their name because it sounds bad in Chinese (Sophie - fat) or because other students laugh, or can't pronounce the name. Sometimes it is because a new star becomes popular. Most of these students get their name on their own through a dictionary. Many of my freshman at college can not correctly pronounce many English names. And no one likes to have their name mis-pronounced. I know some teachers that teach their students english names are accused of cultural imperialism. When I took Spanish, my Spanish teacher gave me a Spanish name. When I took Chinese, i got a Chinese name, When i took Japanese ditto. So I think it is of value for them to have and learn, and learn to say and use english names. I don't know how many students you have back in your home country? Is taht where you are now? With 400 or more students each semester, I couldn't begin to remember that many Chinese names. Though when I do remember their chinese or english name, that is great, I will still use their english name in class.

My wife has a Chinese name but I haven't taken one. One problem is that students want a name with a particular meaning, which limits their choices of common English names or turns them to the dictionary. Never mind that hardly any native speaker knows what most English names mean, it still has to have a good meaning. We try telling our students that most English-speaking parents choose a baby's name for reasons other than its meaning, but to no avail. George=farmer, Paul=small, Philip=lover of horses, Mary=bitter, Cynthia=the moon personified.

NSA Doesn't Need to Spy on Your Calls to Learn Your Secrets
From Wired
Governments and corporations gather, store, and analyze the tremendous amount of data we chuff out as we move through our digitized lives. Often this is without our knowledge, and typically without our consent. Based on this data, they draw conclusions about us that we might disagree with or object to, and that can impact our lives in profound ways. We may not like to admit it, but we are under mass surveillance.
Much of what we know about the NSA's surveillance comes from Edward Snowden, although people both before and after him also leaked agency secrets. As an NSA contractor, Snowden collected tens of thousands of documents describing many of the NSA's surveillance activities. Then in 2013 he fled to Hong Kong and gave them to select reporters.
The first news story to break based on the Snowden documents described how the NSA collects the cell phone call records of every American. One government defense, and a sound bite repeated ever since, is that the data they collected is "only metadata." The intended point was that the NSA wasn't collecting the words we said during our phone conversations, only the phone numbers of the two parties, and the date, time, and duration of the call. This seemed to mollify many people, but it shouldn't have. Collecting metadata on people means putting them under surveillance. (more…)

Toyota said Wednesday that it will offer wireless charging for mobile phones in its newly redone full-size 2013 Avalon sedan, marching into a technology that has other automakers mostly watching warily.
Toyota joins Chrysler, which will offer a wireless charging pad as a $200 option in its Dodge Dart subcompact early next year. But Chrysler's charging pad will only be available through its aftermarket arm, Mopar.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz and other normally tech-forward automakers remain on the sidelines. Even General Motors, which took a $5 million ownership stake in Powermat—one of the leading companies in so-called inductive charging nearly two years ago—has yet to offer the feature.
It's a simple concept: the ability to toss your smartphone onto a pad or bin in your car and have it wirelessly charge while you drive. No longer would you have to plug in your device.
But like many things high-tech, the idea gets complicated in a hurry. The holdup for mass adoption has been competing charging protocols that could mean the system might work on some phones and not others. Also, existing charging systems often require sleeves over phones that users might find expensive or cumbersome. Or the device may have to be lined up a certain way on the pad, instead of just tossed on. There are practical considerations, too, such as whether an untethered phone might become a projectile in a car crash.
But changes are occurring that could break down resistance. Toyota says it is the first automaker to embrace a new protocol called Qi, which will be integrated into 34 mobile phones from various makers. The feature will show up first in the Avalon, which has a bin for storing electronics below the dashboard. Inductive charging will be a part of a $1,950 "technology package" available in the spring. Wireless charging is planned in two other Toyota models, which the company declined to name.
Mobile phone makers such as LG, maker of the Google Nexus phone, and Nokia plan to make phones that will charge wirelessly without sleeves. That is proof that the time is right, says Randy Stephens, chief engineer for Avalon. Toyota was also encouraged that battery maker Energizer offers a sleeve, costing about $30 for an Apple iPhone, that fits over existing phones to allow them to charge wirelessly, Stephens says.
Like Toyota's system, Chrysler's "power bin" fits into a cubby hole in the centre console where drivers can stow their smartphones. Mopar says the bin can charge iPhone and Android-based devices. But the system is considered "conductive," not inductive, because the phone is placed in a specialized case with metal on the back that connects to metal on the pad. Inductive systems involve transmitting energy over a magnetic field.
GM announced nearly two years ago that it planned to put a inductive charging pad in the Chevrolet Volt, its plug-in extended-range electric car but it never surfaced. Powermat CEO Ran Poliakine says a product is on the way, but putting inductive charging in cars is "100 times" more complicated than in other places.
Powermat, which makes inductive charging pads for home use, is signing deals to install charging stations in Starbucks stores and other public venues to let customers recharge their phones anywhere they go. Poliakine says that GM vehicles will be just one of those places.

"My child, don't reject the LORD's discipline, and don't be upset when he corrects you." (Proverbs 3:11 NLT)
Just when you thought that you've heard it all…
According to a report in the International Business Times on 8.28.15, two sisters in India, one of whom is only 15-years-old, have been "sentenced" to rape as "punishment" after their brother had an affair with a married woman. An unelected all-male village council in Baghpat district, Uttar Pradesh, ordered that Meenakshi Kumari, 23, and her teenage sister will also be paraded through the streets naked, with blackened faces, as they are made to pay the price for their brother's alleged transgressions. And this is the norm for how this council has operated for years. Ugh.
According to our text, God does bring punishment for sinful behavior, but never a heinous thing like this! Our God is a loving Father that desires for all His children to do right, like a good Dad should. While His correction fits the sin, it has an ultimate goal: not to bring suffering, but restoration of relationship.
Good parents and right government should both have fair and firm corrective policies. You can't love without it, otherwise you are only enabling. But I'm grateful that our wonderful Father cares enough to do it the right way and bring our hearts back home! You are loved!

Typhoon Haiyan
Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Typhoon Yolanda, made landfall in the central Philippines on Nov. 7, 2013. It was among the strongest storms in recorded history, with winds up to 199 miles per hour. The United Nations estimates that more than 11 million are affected and close to 700,000 are homeless. While many municipalities have yet to report, Philippines President Benigno Aquino estimated the death toll at 2,500 less than a week after the storm hit. Food and water are in short supply in the hardest hit areas and, looking ahead, providing relief and rebuilding in remote areas is a challenge.

Friday + spending freeze
We've got lots to do today, mostly boring errands though. We're beginning a spending
freeze for the month of January, so watch out for some different posts as we find
creative ways of not spending money! The rules are simple, we can buy:
food (and necessary toiletries, cleaners)
and that's it really. I'll be honest, a month of this sounds like a challenge,
especially if I find myself in a thrift store. I guess the key is to avoid unnecessary
stores altogether.
For now, I'm leaving you with this, a beautiful home found via Bolig.

Spending freeze sounds like a great idea. Except the thing I spend most of my disposable cash on is having lunch when I am out. That would technically count as food but it's pretty frivolous.

Post subject: Why not full installation, people?
I do understand the portable environment benefits of Puppy, but that said, why wouldn't you just do a full install on a small partition in this situation? Then you can use my files and have recovery fully automated, and everything wonderful!
Not only can it automatically fix the problems idiots introduce by dumping computers in a heap instead of turning them off nicely, but you also experience the following benefits running full vs. frugal:
1. The SFS system uses RAM, as everything else does. Running off a LiveCD I've observed as much as 17MB of additional RAM usage compared to a full install.
2. The SFS decompression takes up a significant amount of CPU time on low-powered computers. Running full installations removes this load as well.
I would recommend using EXT3 when you do, as the journaling makes it easier for fsck to fix things, but that's just a fringe benefit.

Post subject: Fixed inode count problem Puppy 4.31 frugal
Subject description: bad hard drive caused errors
I kept running e2fsck on pupsave.2fs and new errors kept developing. Copied the files from one 2 GB hard disk without UDMA support to a slightly newer one with UDMA support which runs twice as fast. No more errors. Normally frugal install can recover from improper shutdown. I had too many unfixable crashes with full install that e2fsck could not fix.
Only the pupsave.2fs file ever got the bad inodes so I ignored it and started fresh. DOS works okay on that drive. Puppy works on a 400MB drive without UDMA.
With 256MB RAM, I don't worry about losing 17MB of it. Puppy does run faster from memory than from hard disk on older computers (at 300MHz it was up to 5 sec between click and program appearing on screen). The full install appears not to load into RAM.

This thread has been very interesting. Thanks for the interesting scripts you pieced together. I actually had a problem this sunday. I was running terminal in a secure session and decided to reboot puppy 4.31 by using the 'reboot' command. Waited a while and never regained ssh control of the puppy linux box remotely. Showed up at the client and it was stuck at the root prompt #. The USB Keyboard wasn't working. Wound up reinstalling Puppy 4.31. It happened again this afternoon. I thought it was a rare situation until I typed 'reboot' again and it seems that it doesn't cleanly reboot the computer. Anyhow my question is if I plug in a PS/2 keyboard and I have access to the root prompt.
Can I just install the 4.31 files into the /etc/rc.d folder and change their permissions and run it after whatever damage was done to the file system
or is it too late already and should I reinstall puppy again for the 2nd time.

Just a note again for newcomers... This is for a Full Install not a Frugal Install and the scripts have to be chmod 755 to get them to execute. It seems on my test runs it's sporatic and works some of the time. Has anyone tested it a few times?

Post subject: Sounds like a classic case of.....
I think your mouse problem is that you picked the wrong rc set. If you put the 4.1 set with 4.3, there's no telling what will happen. At the least, it will act more like 4.1.
As for working intermittently, I have never had problems with that. Properly configured, this works every time. I have dumped test machines several times, and they always recovered to a happy X.
That said, my test machines were all real.....I have no idea what will happen in a virtual machine. Use at your own risk there.
Tmay who can't boot: did you load grub properly? Did it boot before you changed the files out? Did you use the correct set of files? You'll have to be MUCH more specific about the behavior you're getting if we're to be able to help.
Nassausky, I have noticed that if you type reboot in a terminal on Puppy, it will throw a fit. I've only ever tried it in a local RXVT, but I'd imagine that it might do the same thing when you're logged in with telnet-ish (I presume that's what you did, sorry, I'm still rather addicted to doze....) ....I'd presume that you can just dump the files in and boot it for repair, but do note that you'll have to do 2 things: verify that the partition matches in the e2fsck line, and create a file called /tmp/RUNNING (can be empty) so that it realizes that it was improperly shut down.
Hope that helps....believe it or not, I'm actually somewhat new to Linux, but I understand the way it thinks pretty well because of my childhood DOS and BASIC life.

I am using a full install. of 431 please explain how to use your files. i had a couple of bad shut downs but after typing reboot it came back, i am a newbie to this and don't know if i am using ext 2 or ext 3 and if that matters. Since this is an old p3 256mb ram lap top with a dead motherboard bat and pc bat i use the power cord that sometime falls off. BUT with pup this thing is really fast and i love it.
EXT2 or EXT3 doesn't strictly matter, but in your situation I suggest EXT3 because the journaling makes it a bit more forgiving, albeit it does give you slightly less usable space and slightly worse write performance.
If you start at the top and read down, I think you'll understand deployment pretty well.

Post subject: RAM it?
sindi wrote:
With 256MB RAM, I don't worry about losing 17MB of it. Puppy does run faster from memory than from hard disk on older computers (at 300MHz it was up to 5 sec between click and program appearing on screen). The full install appears not to load into RAM.
You're right, it doesn't. I prefer that behavior. I don't see the sense either of storing the entire OS and the core apps in RAM all the time, or of constantly compressing and decompressing stuff to make that possible. It does slow things down, and very noticeably on old original Pentium machines that are a bit more CPU-cycle starved.
But to each their own. That's Linux for you!

Post subject: Power Failure
Subject description: X does not start after power failure
Hey guys,
I am trying to use puppy 4.3.1 as a terminal services (RDP) client. I am using the
scripts to accomplish this.
The problem is that when ever a user resets the computer or there is a power failure it loops trying to start X. I have tried the methods suggested in this thread and various other threads on this forums but it still seems to be broken.
Here is a list of files that I have edited:
busybox mount -t proc none /proc ;STATUS=$((STATUS+$?))
if [ -f /RUNNING ];then
echo -n "(Checking Filesystem..)" >/dev/console
e2fsck -p -f /dev/sda1 &
if [ ! -d /initrd ];then #w468
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
echo 'PUPMODE=2' > /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE
. /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE #variables created at bootup by init script in initrd.
#v409 mount/umount scripts no longer write to /etc/mtab, as gparted failed to create a
#ext3 partition -- dunno why. Instead, now have /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts...
rm -f /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
##############SHUTDOWN RECOVERY Add to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit################
#If we were not shutdown cleanly, try and recover
if [ -f /RUNNING ];then
echo -n "(Cleaning up after Unclean SHUTDOWN)" >/dev/console
rm -f /var/log/X*
rm -f /RUNNING
rm -rf /tmp/*
rm -f /var/lock/LCK*
rm -f /var/run/*.pid
rm -rf /root/tmp 2>/dev/null
rm -rf /root/.thumbnails/* 2>/dev/null
rm -f /etc/.XLOADED
###################Detect Bad Shut######################
#create a file in tmp that should be deleted on a clean shutdown
if [ ! -f /RUNNING ];then
echo 'this file is deleted during a clean shutdown' > /RUNNING
#redirect all output to a log file (must do after remount rw)...
[ ! "$LOGLEVEL" ] && exec 1>/tmp/bootsysinit.log 2>&1
echo "${DISTRO_NAME} is now shutting down..." > /dev/console
rm -f /RUNNING
echo "Puppy is deleting RUNNING..." > /dev/console
ORIGPUPMODE=$PUPMODE #v2.22
I have attached the file that pctsc uses to call pctsc.auto.tsc which runs rdesktop.
Any help solving the power issue will be greatly appreciated
EDIT: Oh and the filesystem im using is ext3, full-HD install

USB Flash Drive recovery not an issue?
I installed puppy on a flash drive using the installer at
posted this http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=52455
then spent the past hour reading every post in this thread
- Since I am a total Puppy noob and only learned about it yesterday :X I donn't know if I am going to have an issue with using the 4GB USB drive as the ONLY drive for the computer. I have it all booting up fine and I even yanked the cord a few times just to see if it would fail on resume -
I guess I tested it about 3 times and no problems, but then I read this thread and now I am worried again.
Do I need to install a script to run fsck on the flash drive? is that even possible?
I am guessing its a Frugal install (since its for a pendrive and I had to install the dev-XXX-.sts thingy manually to compile C code) and since Wikipedia says flash memory doesn't usually (can't maybe?) use journaling, I am guessing I am using ext2 not ext3...
I want to use this as the system for a arcade cabinet running puppy arcade - the machine will invarably get unplugged often, do I risk turning my arcade cabinet into a 150 lb paperweight until I hook up a CD drive and try to reinstall?
man, reading more just creates more questions.. head hurt, must stop now...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. scientists have identified a new class of drugs that appear to block the hepatitis C virus from replicating in laboratory experiments, researchers said on Wednesday.
The team discovered activity within a key protein of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) essential for the virus to reproduce, they reported in the online journal Science Translational Medicine.
The researchers also identified small molecules capable of inhibiting replication of the virus, senior author Dr. Jeffrey Glenn of Stanford University said in a telephone interview.
Glenn and colleagues then set out to look for compounds that could prevent the protein from working.
"The compounds we discovered represent a new class of potential drugs that appear to specifically attack the virus's ability to set up shop in the liver cells," said Glenn, director of Stanford's Center for Hepatitis and Liver Tissue Engineering,.
"Hepatitis C creates a novice structure in the infected cell where it replicates and it looks like this class of compounds interferes with the virus's ability to establish that structure," he said.
Glenn said he expects derivatives of the compounds to go into human trials within 18 months, after additional preclinical and animal testing.
Glenn and several members of his team have an equity interest in Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, a privately held start-up based in Palo Alto, California that is seeking to develop this new class of drugs. Stanford University has filed patents for the compounds, which have been licensed to Eiger.
Hepatitis C infects more than 150 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of chronic liver cancer and liver transplants in the United States.
Glenn said the current therapy for Hepatitis C, combinations of interferon and ribavirin, is only somewhat effective and often toxic.
Glenn said the first goal is to add new drugs to that combination. The next step would be to have enough new drugs in a mix to effectively fight the virus.
"We need a cocktail of multiple drugs because this virus has a very high rate of developing resistance," Glenn said. "We really need to hit it from multiple angles at the same time to decrease the chances that any mutation that occurs in the virus could overcome all the drugs at the same time."

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Larry Eustachy is back in the NCAA tournament with yet another team.
The coach is making his second-consecutive appearance in the tournament, this year with Colorado State — the fourth team he's led to the NCAAs. Last year, he guided Southern Mississippi to the tournament.
Colorado State (25-8) is back thanks to Eustachy, and senior transfer Colton Iverson. After averaging just over five points a game in three years at Minnesota, the forward/center is averaging 14.7 per points contest to help lead the eighth-seeded Rams into Thursday's second-round Midwest Regional game against No. 9 seed Missouri (23-10).
Eustachy, 57, has also taken Iowa State and Utah State to the NCAA tournament, and the Rams' return to the postseason is an indication of how well his latest move is going — albeit not easy.
"This is my fifth time at being a first-year coach at this level and this has been the most difficult, if you will, as far as expectations," said Eustachy, who has also taken Utah State, Iowa State and Southern Miss to the NCAA postseason.
"If you polled the people in Fort Collins whether this team will not go to the tournament or go to the Final Four, and had to check one box, they would check the Final Four. The expectations were not realistic. I think we met those expectations, which means we've overachieved. I said, 'give me time, guys, and I'll figure it out.'"
The Rams finally got on the same page in January.
Though it took a while, Eustachy had a lot to work with. The Rams returned five seniors, including three starters, from a team that went 20-12 under Tim Miles (now at Nebraska). Colorado State reached the second round of last year's NCAA tournament before being upset by Murray State.
This year's key addition has been Iverson, eligible this season after sitting out a year because of NCAA transfer rules. The 6-foot-10, 260-pounder has been the inside force the Rams needed, adding team highs of 9.8 rebounds and 22 blocks.
Iverson started 42 of 91 games with the Golden Gophers but averaged just 5.3 points and 4.3 rebounds. He's clearly more comfortable with the Rams and Eustachy's system, where rebounding and defense are priorities.
"It's definitely helped my game a lot," Iverson said. "I took a pretty big risk leaving Minnesota after three years. I knew during my redshirt year I really had to work hard and improve my game. I definitely did that, and you can see the improvement this year."
Iverson has scoring help in guards Wes Eikmeier (12.7 points) and Dorian Green (12.8 points, 122 assists) and forward Greg Smith (11.1). But the South Dakota native has been the presence the Rams needed: they're outrebounding opponents by a nation-leading average of 12 a game.
"He has completely transformed our team," Eikmeier said. "Last year we were pretty thin on the front line and didn't have a whole lot of depth. We've all been witness to the season he's had. ... We couldn't ask for a better addition."
Colorado State will need contributions on both ends against Missouri, averaging 76.2 points per game and making its fifth straight NCAA appearance. The Tigers had one of the Southeastern Conference's top offenses this season, and all five starters average at least 11 points a game.
Laurence Bowers (14.4 points) is the leader, but the player drawing the most attention is junior guard Phil Pressey (11.6 points, 7.1 assists). He has tended to make mistakes in key moments and struggled away from home.
Pressey's teammates and coach Frank Haith still believe in the 5-7 playmaker.
"I want him to still be confident in what he does and how he plays," Haith said. "I was watching video of last year's team and he had some moments when he played with such great bursts. He really hasn't done that as much this year, and we need him to get back to playing with bursts on missed shots and just taking off.
"He's been more probing this year, and we need him utilizing his speed."
Both teams have faced challenges in finishing games but relish the new start that comes with their first game in the NCAA tournament.
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Larry Eustachy is back in the NCAA tournament with yet another team.

|Advanced installation wizard checks your server environment to ensure that FlashCard can be used, and notifies you of any conflicts or errors. During installation, you can choose how users should access FlashCard: either directly without requiring registration, or by registering their login before use. In addition, you can choose from two available skins, multiple different languages, and several other options. Additional language support can be added easily by adding more XML file translations. Fully configurable preloader, without any programming. Just set a few XML options in the configuration XML file (which you can do with any standard text editor). Option to require users to register a login before creating a card. This allows many different people to use the same FlashCard system, all keeping their created cards separate. Option to use SMTP e-mail to send cards. You must have access to an SMTP server, of course. This option is set during installation. All text strings within FlashCard are fully configurable via an external "strings.xml" file. There is no need to edit any Flash files to change the interface text. The XML files can be edited using any standard text editor, like Notepad or Textpad. E-mail template is fully configurable via an HTML template file. 100% of the Flash 2004 Pro. source code is included, with all .fla, .as, and project files. Thus, if you can't find a way to do it in the XML configuration files, you can also try direct editing of the Flash source code (requires the Flash 2004 Pro. authoring environment).

That Football Thingy
Ya know that upcoming Football Thingy? What is it? The Uber Bowl? The Pooper Bowl? AH! THE SUPER BOWL! That's it. Just super.
Well the thing is, the REAL thing of it - is that the Super Bowl always falls on my birthday weekend! How rude is that? Does the NFL just not care about the day I was born? I feel so insignificant - like a pea without a pod, a grain of sand without an hourglass, a pickle without a pregnancy, a Viagra email without a spam destination, a fax minus its cover sheet, a bank with no bailout money, a Cheney with no one to shoot at. STOP ME. Shut up self. Wow that was fun.
Anyway, LAST YEAR for my birthday we were thinking where-oh-where shall we go for this VERY significant day of my birth? Well, nowhere, Miss Coversheetless Fax, because the Super Bowl was right here in Phoenix. That's right! You want a flight in or out of Phoenix? Well good luck with your inner-private-jet because that's as close to the jet stream you're going to get! Uh huh. And noooo you can't go to Vegas because everyone there is there for the Superbowl too - so just forget it!
So THIS YEAR, we were again talking about where to go, what to do, and again, Vegas comes up because it's so very close - an hour's flight away. But alas, it seems there are no deals in Sin City over the BIG weekend. Do you now see my suffering? It's a first-world problem, I know, but still.
All I have to say is, it's a good thing I'm not big on celebrations - that I'm actually really low key about my birthday. You didn't pick up on that? Oh yeah. In reality, I'm just ho-hum about almost all traditional celebrations, but especially ones that are focused on me. I think it's others who feel like they have to make the day special. But really, a simple card will do. I'm easy that way.
This year, however, there will be a little twist to the weekend - Arizona is IN the Super Bowl! For the first time in, like, a thousand years! I think the last time they went, pterodactyls were still roaming the Mother Ship. This is what I hear. I'm not a big sportician, but I actually saw the playoff game and enjoyed it! What le heck? Who am I? It was a roller coaster though - a few times I thought I was going to blow a capillary and it was touch and go.
So I don't know...I'm kind of looking forward to the game next weekend. Who said that? I said that. If I was already in a grave - I'd be rolling over in it right now. But I'm not, so I can't. And that's a good thing actually because I don't like eating dirt. Instead, I'd rather eat this dip....
It is a real departure for this blog, but I'm going to post a NON-DESSERT recipe. I know, right! My grains of sugar are organizing a mutiny as we speak - the flour is going to throw itself at my faux-fur. It's a shocker. But for this upcoming chip-and-dip weekend...I give you this anomaly....
Mexican Artichoke Dip
I used to make this dip about 10 years ago, but had forgotten all about it until my sister recently asked me for the recipe. Since December, I've been making it again and - WOW - why did I ever stop making it? We like it with tortilla chips; and honestly, we've been "liking it" about every single weekend since I rediscovered it. So, I should actually say we love it. We can't get enough of it right now. It's a rather healthy little dip, and it's low fat and all - but with the quantities we're consuming, I'm just not sure it's healthy at all, but there you have it. Even better? It could not be easier to throw together.
1 c. light mayo (or, fat free)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 c. soft breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 cans (14 oz. each) artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies
Cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine mayo, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce and garlic powder. Gently fold in artichokes and green chilies. Spoon mixture into a casserole dish (or any oven-proof dish) coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, pita wedges, melba rounds, or veggies. Makes about 4 cups. ENJOY!

Yeah, forget the football thingy, but I'm all over the artichoke dip! Yummers! And who knows, I might even watch the game now that I know AZ is in it. (thanks for le heads-up from a fellow non-sportician!)

Yeah, now that you've got Kurt Warner out there. (He DID take St. Louis to the 'Bowl a coupla times.)
I have hated the Cardinals since they left St. Louis (after rooting for them a good chunk of my life) but I hate even more the bum deal Kurt got from the Rams. Go PHOENIX!
And this damn dip seals the deal. Gotta have some.

Girl, you totally crack me up! Where does all that sassy humor come from? Too funny! And thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this recipe. Now I know what I'm making for my husband's relatives when they come to HIS Super Bowl party. I, on the other hand, will be watching The Story of India on PBS, and if you want to see my eyes glaze over and drool coming out of the sides of my mouth, try to talk to me about sports.

ok we need to get in touch with the NFL, AFL, ABC, whatever and change the date. I would not be happy either with my b-day then.
I must be spoiled on my b-day and hubby would be so conflicted if it happened on superbowl weekend. I hate football, on that I would rather be tanning or something that involves spoiling me.
I think you are so funny!
- January 25, 2009 at 7:29 AM
I am sooooooo cheering for the Cards! Larry Fitzgerald is a god, AND he's from my home town of Richfield, MN. Well, sort of.
Plus, Kurt Warner is HOT.

In trying to show my deep appreciation for ...cajoling *cough, cough*begging*cougb* you to post something Super Bowly that *I* could make, I thought it would be nice to post my thanks in French. So I went to Babelfish and typed in "Thank you very much Ann!" which translated to "Merci vraiment Ann!", which translated BACK, read, "Thank you really Anarchist!"
I'm not using Babelfish anymore.
Now goes raise some hell on your birthday...anarchist. ; ))

I don't wanna be

I feel your pain. Since when did football become more important than your birthday - and who wants to be in Vegas with a bunch of football fans - they're nuts anyways. BUT...since you must share your special day, you might as well eat your way through it and throw in some champagne for a real celebration.
Happy Happy!!!

Happy Birthday Chicky!
That dip looks great. I'm making it now even though the game is over. And it is late. And I'm full.
Birthdays are overrated. All I ever ask for is to be left alone so I can
a) take a crap w/out interruption
b) take a shower longer than 2 min
c) eat w/out sharing
d) enjoy any drugs I may have squirreled away over the year (what?! LEGAL of course)
But that is just me. Little ole me sitting out here on the edge enjoying this wonderful dip I just found on a kick-ass blog.

Anyway, darling -- happy birthday! I share my birthday with Thanksgiving. Okay, so not Thursday every year -- but close enough to it that no one can come over, the airports are a nightmare, and the only thing anyone ever wants to eat is turkey. Why oh why must we share our birthdays with "events"?
Blessings, hugs, and love,

What a DELIGHTFUL looking recipe, I will definately have to try this one out, thank-you!!
- February 5, 2009 at 2:25 PM
That Mexican Artichoke Dip sure sounds good. I'll have to try it.
I love fish tacos. Maybe they'd be good together?
Taco Fish La Paz in Guadalajara, Mexico has a stand on Avenida La Paz in Guadalajara sounds like 'Taco Nirvana'.
My experience in Mexico is that some of the best places to eat are those that are off the beaten path that the locals frequent.
I've been looking for good places to eat in Guadalajara and Taco Fish La Paz in Guadalajara sounds like just the place.
Fortunately, I live in Ajijic, Jalisco so the trip is a short one.

What is the personal significance of Black history Month to you?
"It's important to say that black history is American history and it's global history. I was just in Morocco a few weeks ago and to see the influence of American culture which really is intertwined and often times shaped by black culture was amazing. From music, to dress, to slang to a lot of different elements, and so much of that has been influenced by those who helped to shape the culture and made sure that black people had a voice and were able to be unique in how we are. I'm particularly tied to the more social justice activists of the past. I think one of our proudest moments as it relates to activism was the young people during the civil rights movement that sacrificed a lot and they were only kids and I think it's really important that we continue to let our children know about black history, where we come from, and continue to try to shape history even now."
What was the poignant moment in Black History for you?
"The founding of the NAACP in 1909, and it was a multicultural group of people who were committed to seeing the advancement of black people in this country. At that time, the biggest thing they worked on was anti-lynching laws. Just the bravery that it took for these men and women across the country to form this organization and form chapters across the country was significant. These [people] were in the face of real danger and a lot of people lost their lives, many of who we would never know their names or their sacrifices. That bravery element just speaks so much. Almost anything we go through nowadays is nothing compared to what they went through. If they could do it, we could do it too. That's always something very empowering for me to remember as I try to do the work that I do."
Growing up, who were the African-American icons you looked up to and why?
"Not a shock that many of them are women. Juanita Jackson Mitchell was the founder of the youth and college division of NAACP and she was also instrumental in cases like the Scottsboro Boys case and was just a real pioneer as it relates to a woman who was involved in civil rights. Women like Ella Baker who helped to find the student non-violent coordinating committee who also was a field director for NAACP. She really helped to mold generations after her to be involved in civil rights." Present-day, I continue to be enamored with Oprah. My husband's probably so tired of me talking about Oprah. I love Oprah. I'm hoping to meet her one day. I like her business-savvy and now as an entrepreneur, she is a person who I look up to for being able to really do things her way.

Breaking Bad will live on — sort of.
AMC has reached a licensing agreement for a spin-off of the popular series, which will be centered on shady attorney Saul Goodman, the network announced Wednesday.
Add new fall shows to your Watchlist
Better Call Saul will be a one-hour prequel focusing on the evolution of Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) before he ever became Walter White's lawyer.
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan would work on the project with writer Peter Gould, who wrote the Season 2 episode "Better Call Saul" that first introduced the character.
Will you watch the spin-off?

With production wrapped on Michael Bay's $20 million passion project, the dark comedy Pain and Gain, the director is now turning more of his attention to his fourth—and "final"—film in the Transformers franchise. We know that Transformers 4 won't feature any of the human cast from the previous three films, there will be redesigns for some of the robots, it's set for release in the summer of 2014, and it's been described as a reboot of sorts. Now that he's moved on to the post-production phase of Pain and Gain, Bay recently talked a bit about where Transformers 4 will go storywise and asserted that the film is not a reboot. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.
Bay addressed just exactly how Transformers 4 will be connected to the other three films in an interview with Hero Complex, saying that "reboot" isn't an entirely accurate description:
"It's not a reboot, that's maybe the wrong word. I don't want to say reboot because then people will think we're doing a Spider-Man and starting from the beginning. We're not. We're taking the story that you've seen — the story we've told in three movies already — and we're taking it in a new direction. But we're leaving those three as the history. It all still counts. I met with the writer before I went off to do Pain and Gain and we talked about a bunch of ideas. We let that simmer for a bit. He's been thinking about stuff and now we're getting back together next week to see what we've got and to see if it gels."
We previously reported that Ehren Kruger, who co-wrote Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and took sole credit on Transformers: Dark of the Moon, would be writing Transformers 4 so one assumes that he's the writer Bay is talking about. When asked if the film's story could involve a departure from Earth, Bay seemed to be keen on spending more time in space:
"I think so, yeah, a little. That feels like the way to go, doesn't it? I want to go a little off but I don't want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded. That's what works in these movies, that's what makes it accessible."
Though the story of Transformers 4 might journey into space, Bay says the budget for the film will actually be less than the first three. "Our mandate is to cut about $30 million," Bay says. That number seems small when talking about a movie that's essentially wall-to-wall explosions (the last Transformers was budgeted at a reported $195 million), but comparatively that cut is more than the entire budget for Bay's recently completed film.
Hopefully we'll hear some casting or firm plot information soon as Bay puts the finishing touches on Pain and Gain and starts prepping the Transformers 4 shoot. Though Bay claims this is his last go-around with his favorite robots, he said the same thing during production of Dark of the Moon. His supposed goal with 4 is to "set up the series for the next guy," but who knows if he'll actually walk away after this next film. What we do know for sure is that Transformers 4 is slated to hit theaters on June 27th, 2014, and if the box office of the other films is any indication then Transformers 5 is all but guaranteed.
