Referee Tackles Quarterback in Official Game!!!

When I saw this, I thought it was that commercial where the ref tackles the Quarterback for a free bud light (video below). Here's the official response from the SEC:

But the SEC office believes Hackett was protecting himself and plans to take no disciplinary action on the veteran official. Rogers Redding, the conference's coordinator of football officials, reviewed the tape of the play and thought it was inadvertent contact.

"Garcia changes his direction just a tad, which ties up the umpire just a tad and makes it look a lot worse than it really was," SEC spokesman Charles Bloom said.

And here's the funny thing, the referee just so happens to be a former Parade High School All-American and a three-year starter at linebacker for Kentucky in the late '60s.

Barack Gaffes

Barack Gaffes
The Obama machine.

By Michelle Malkin

All it takes is one gaffe to taint a Republican for life. The political establishment never let Dan Quayle live down his fateful misspelling of “potatoe.” The New York Times distorted and misreported the first President Bush’s questions about new scanner technology at a grocers’ convention to brand him permanently as out of touch.

But what about Barack Obama? The guy’s a perpetual gaffe machine. Let us count the ways, large and small, that his tongue has betrayed him throughout the campaign:

Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.

Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City. ... I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”

Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?

Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil-rights movement as a whole.”

Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.

Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”

I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.

Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s Dreams from My Father: “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”

And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”

Barack Obama — promoted by the Left and the media as an all-knowing, articulate, transcendent Messiah — is a walking, talking gaffe machine. How many more passes does he get? How many more can we afford?

It is human nature to mess up what you say...lets focus on what you do.

Is Obama Really What Our Country Needs?

The Democrats LOVE John McCain, even Obama

Gmail Add-on Prevents Drunk Emailing

For those of you who come home from a drunken night and tend to go on your computer to write and read emails, Gmail Labs has been thinking about you! If you frequent the ktown213 forums you will notice that some users are prone to PUI (Posting Under the Influence). It is great to hear that SOMEONE has decided to help prevent these types of things from happening. Gmail Labs has a feature called "Mail Goggles". When you send emails late at night on the weekend (a default setting, but changeable) from Gmail, you will get 5 math problems (you can change the difficulty) that you will have to answer within the given time frame. If you are coherent enough to solve these problems within the given time, your email will be sent out. Hopefully this feature will help prevent drunk emails from being sent to people we know. ENJOY!!

My New Favorite TV Show!!

So, I've always wondered what my next favorite tv show would be. Would it be another Sci-Fi Series like Heroes? How about a show with crazy twists and turns like House, or Nip/Tuck? Nope, this time, it's about two things I LOVE to do, travel and drink. You heard me, there is a TV show where a guy goes around to different places, drinking the local brew. What an awesome job!! The name of the show is called "Three Sheets". It's on MojoHD (man I love great HD programs...sorry satellite subscribers, only cable provides MojoHD). From the show, you learn drinking games, customs, and alcohol knowledge. Great show right? I'm glad you agree. Since this is the "Ktown213" blog, I will leave the video of the host's, comedian Zane Lamprey, adventures in South Korea. I personally believe this video is better than the "No Reservations in South Korea", even though Three Sheets gets some wrong definitions on korean words.



and if you want to see more episodes:

and their WEBSITE.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

Ways to Prevent a Hangover

Ahh jyea...this kind of topic hits right at home for me (and probably most of you). For some of you (die-hard party animals), the weekend starts on Thursday night, and for everyone else, the weekend starts on Friday night. The one thing that goes through my mind, before I call back my friend to confirm that I'm down to go out is, "How early do I need to be awake and functioning tomorrow?". Nothing feels worse than coming into work (not on time) Friday morning, feeling like shit, and being queasy. Yes, you know what it is, being HUNGOVER. I found this article written on dumblittleman.com that will probably help us party animals GREATLY.



from the article:

So what do we choose? Anything that's going to manage a hangover has to address the three different things that cause a hangover:

1. Dehydration: This is the biggest factor. For every 30 ml of alcohol you drink you lose 200 ml of water. Dehydration can cause headaches and sickness even without alcohol.

2. Vitamin Burnout: Alcohol is, at its heart, a poison. Your body does a lot of work to remove that poison (that you just paid $6 to ingest) from your system. That work, mainly done by your liver, uses a lot of vitamins like vitamin B and Potassium that aren't available to you later. This can cause queasiness, tiredness and muscle cramps.

3. Toxins: Additives, preservatives and chemicals, from a night out drinking, build up in your blood and cause sluggishness and vomitosity - never pleasant.

But what we eat and drink before, during and after a night out can have significant impact on how we feel the next day. All we need to do is plan for it when our head is still clear.

Before Drunkfest
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of "dear God I think I'm going to die".

* Before you go out, load up on foods that are rich in the vitamins you'll lose:

o Bananas
o Wheat Germ
o Whole Grain cereals
o Anything Soy

* A plate of spaghetti or a bowl of ramen before you go out is a good choice; carb-heavy foods will help slow the absorption of alcohol.

* Water, drink lots of water. Why start out dehydrated and then go drink something what will increase the dehydration?

During Drunkfest
Tonight's party is still time we need to be thinking about tomorrow's vomit. A few smart choices now will limit the consequences.

* Pig out at the end of the night. All that booze that's in your stomach is still going to get into your blood, help slow it down with a big plate of anything.

* Clear alcohol, like vodka and gin, tend to have less toxic gunk in it then drinks like whiskey.

* Beer can be a better choice because it has a higher alcohol to water ratio.

* Again, drink water, lots of water. Try alternating each real drink with a glass of water throughout the night. You may end up going to the bathroom a few more times but it beats a morning of vomiting and a pounding head.

After Drunkfest
I know that between the headache and the puking and the urge to beat yourself to death against your own porcelain bowl the last thing on your mind is "What do I eat now?", but eating the right thing at this stage can mean the difference between hell and purgatory.

* Pop (soda to you philistines) can be very useful the next day. The carbonation helps settle your stomach and the caffeine is a nice burst of energy.

* Greasy food is a hangover staple for a reason. It absorbs a lot of the acidity and fills you up.

* Tabasco sauce or anything hot is great during a hangover and no one really knows why. I suspect that a good sweat helps get rid of some of those toxins.

* Did I already mention water?

All in all, anything that slows the alcohol absorption, replaces vitamins the alcohol uses, or purges the toxins alcohol brings, will help reduce your hangover. But most importantly do everything you can to avoid dehydration. Even if it means you have to drink water. Lots of water.

As most of my friends know, I am a champ in the sport of Going-to-Work-the-Day-After-Clubbing. To some, I have shared with them exactly what I do to get into the office the next day. And now, I will share it with you:

What I eat before going out: Pizza (or anything with lots of carbs)
What I drink (non-alcoholic) while I'm out: Water (nothing beats H2O)
What I do once I get home: Drink lots of water (My water of choice for this is SmartWater)
What I do once I wake up: Drink a bottle of SmartWater and then an energry drink (Hansen's) on my way out

If you can't get any SmartWater, get something that replenishes electrolytes (Propel, Gatorade, Vitamin Water, etc.)

After reading this article, it has opened my eyes to new ways to lower my chance of getting a hangover. I have shared my methods, post a comment and leave yours.

See you at the clubs! ;)

Play Snake on Gmail...as well as some other stuff

With all the great features that Gmail has, again they don't fail to impress us. As some of you Gmailers may know, Gmail has recently released 13 new experimental features in an area called Gmail Labs. Here's a basic rundown of a few of these new features:



Quick Links:
This basically allows you to save previously searched emails. It adds a new box to Gmail's sidebar on the left. Go to the view you want, like all messages that have PDF file attachments using the has:attachment PDF Gmail search, then click "Add Quick Link"

Superstars:
Now you can mark messages using up to 12 different colored and shaped icons. Once enabled, you will see a new section under the General Settings area. Superstars is pretty much just a visual indicator. Tip: Click on the star next to a message repeatedly to go through the different stars.

Snakey:
Remember playing Snake on your Nokia cell phones while in high school? That's right, Gmail brings this old school game back, and now, you can play it on Gmail. SWEET, right?!?!. Tip: Once you have enabled Snakey under settings, you have to press "&" (Shift+7) to get the game to appear.

Email Addict:
For those who spend WAY too much time on Gmail, and want to be more productive, this feature locks Gmail from you for 14 minutes.

This is only 4 of 13, so definately check it out. If you do not see Gmail Labs under Settings on your Gmail, try pasting this link into your web browser after you have already logged into Gmail: https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=1#settings. Enjoy!
