Video of the day: Japanese commercial makes me love soccer

from Ningin by LindseyCosta

I’ve just been recently finding out that Asian countries love soccer. I didn’t know that Korea and Japan were huge fans of it. I always thought they loved baseball more. Anyway, I think that the commercial is for a stadium, but I’m not positive about that. It makes me want to go to one of these games though. I think it’s hilarious, so check it out!!! (more…)

California Community College seeks pre-WWII students for Diploma Project

from AsianWeek by AsianWeek Staff Report

Sacramento, Calif. – Sacramento City College has begun a statewide search for former Japanese American students whose studies were forcibly suspended in 1942, when Executive Order 9066 was issued. These efforts are part of the California Nisei College Diploma Project, an initiative that seeks to award all those who were impacted by EO 9066 with honorary degrees.

The California Nisei College Diploma Project is the implementation of AB 37, a bill introduced by Assemblyman Warren Furutani (D-Long Beach) and signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on October 11, 2009. The bill requests that California Community Colleges, the University of California and the California State University systems “confer an honorary degree upon each individual whose studies […] were disrupted by Executive Order 9066, and […] allow a representative to accept an honorary degree on behalf of individuals who are deceased,” as stated in its text.

“AB 37 is a unique opportunity for our college and community to do our part in righting the wrongs of nearly 70 years ago,” said Keith Muraki, a Sacramento City College counselor whose late father, Tom Muraki, was interned in 1942. “For me, this is an opportunity to recognize and honor the Nisei [second-generation Japanese American], and to a large degree, the Issei [first-generation Japanese immigrants] for the many sacrifices they made for all of us.”

According to the California Nisei Diploma Project, more than 2,500 Japanese American students were affected by the order — among them were more than 1,200 community college students. It is estimated that approximately 224 Nisei were studying at what was then called Sacramento Junior College when the order was signed into law — this is the second highest number of students impacted by the order per institution, with Long Beach City College being the first, with 265 students.

“We hope to locate as many of our former Japanese American students as possible,” said Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery, Sacramento City College’s president. “It is with great anticipation that we look forward to this rare opportunity to correct an injustice, to receive former students and members of their family, and to proudly acknowledge their pursuit of higher education.”

Muraki will be receiving an honorary degree on behalf of his father. He, along with former students or their next of kin, will participate in the college’s Commencement exercises to be held on May 19, 2010, at Sacramento City College, in Hughes Stadium.

To help facilitate its search, Sacramento City College has launched a Web site that includes, among other resources, a list in progress of former students who may have been attending Sacramento Junior College in 1942. For more information, or to help the college identify and locate former Japanese American students, please visit www.scc.losrios.edu/scc_nisei_diploma_project.xml or contact Kim Goff at 916-558-2054.

Nyan Nyan Nyanko’s super kawaii San-X commercial

from Rekuru by Syndicator

From Girlybubble: Without ever knowing what Nyan Nyan Nyanko is, most people would assume that Japanese people eat cats because it is always seen stuffed into a hamburger or fries. Fortunately, the whole point of stuffing a cat into food is to be cute (or kawaii) and not to eat. So please, do not confuse this super cute commercial for a restaurant advertising cat burgers or fries. Just think of it as the best 46 seconds of your life, ever. More »

Regular readers of this Electric Shadows blog may already know that for eight years, from 1979 to 1986, I worked as a movie projectionist in Boston’s Chinatown. My boss owned two theaters, the Star and the China. The Star Cinema was the local showcase for Shaw Brothers productions; after it was enlarged to two screens, around 1980, we also ran the Cinema City comedies, Jet Li’s Shaolin Temple series, and Tsui Hark’s early films. The China showed mostly films from Taiwan. Every once in a while, I think of a movie or actor or director who made an impression on me back then and wonder, “What ever happened to so-and-so?” There are a lot of talented people from that era, the 70s and 80s, who are unknown or forgotten now – unjustly so, in my opinion.

Take Alan Tang Kwong-wing for example. He starred in a gritty “heroic bloodshed” film from 1984 called YELLOW PERIL.

Vietnamese Food in Beverly Hills… 9021PHO!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jay-weston/vietnamese-food-in-beverl_b_455189.html

Kimmy Tang is Back in Los Angeles.

Around my neck I always wear a stunning jade pendant of a smiling, rotund buddha…the glowing green figure attracts the interest of everyone I encounter, many of whom then rub the image’s stomach ‘for good luck.’ It was given me some years ago by a vibrant, charming Vietnamese woman chef named Kimmy Tang, who owned a little Vietnamese restaurant across from Cedars Sinai on Third Steet called Michelia. After two years of trying, I helped her get a wine-and-beer license for the eatery, and she then asked her father in Saigon to go to Burma, home of the best jade, to get the rare, 100-year old pendant for me.

“Jade is a very spiritual stone, so never take it off,” she alerted me, “and it will bring you nothing but good luck.” I never do…and it has! (You would be surprised how many attractive women want to rub the buddha’s stomach for luck.) Eventually, Kimmy sold her restaurant and went off to Romania of all places to run the commissary in the country’s largest film studio. We kept in touch and I marveled at her resilience (and new red hair.)

Chinese foods hold double meaning

A Lychee Champagne granita makes a romantic dessert for Valentine’s Day.

Ingredients rich in symbolism focus on family, fertility and good fortune

By Bill Daley
McClatchy News Service

Published: Monday, February 08, 2010

The juxtaposition of the Chinese or lunar new year with Valentine’s Day offers interesting culinary possibilities for home cooks and those heading out to dinner on what is one of the most popular restaurant nights of the year.

What you do to mark the Year of the Tiger and V-Day on Feb. 14 is up to you, but a Chinese-themed meal does seem in order. Just don’t expect a lot of Cupids to sprout up on a traditional Chinese menu stocked with foods and ingredients that have special meaning at the beginning of the new year.

“The Chinese aren’t big on romance as a whole,” said Laura Yee, a Chicago publicist, “but they do take fertility, marriage and building a family seriously, as expressed in the symbolic foods.”

Just how deep the symbolism runs can be seen in a menu composed by Belinda Chang, wine director of The Modern restaurant in New York City. The dishes, all her mother’s, make a clear statement: Marbled eggs cooked in tea (fertility), stir-fried spaghetti with vegetables (long strands for long life), red-cooked chicken (happiness, good fortune) and a whole bass (prosperity) cooked in hot oil with green onions and fermented black beans.

Valentine’s Day with an Asian flair

“Duck symbolizes fidelity and the red color of this dish is the color of happiness,” said Ming Tsai. “Pomegranates, because of their many seeds, symbolize fertility.” Host of the long-running television cooking series, “Simply Ming,” he likes to serve thi

Singing Sinatra’s My Way Karaoke x Killings in the Philippine???

 

crazy ny times story here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/07/world/asia/07karaoke.html

Jes Aznar for The New York Times

The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the “My Way Killings.”

Indeed, most of the “My Way” killings have reportedly occurred after the singer sang out of tune, causing other patrons to laugh or jeer.

North Carolina bans the landfilling of plastic bottles of all types

North Carolina now bans the landfilling of plastic bottles of all types - more information here - and this has become a practical issue in rural towns where curbside recycling is not offered. Winston-Salem Journal reports on how the problem was solved in one County. The president of Rural Garbage Services Inc. offered to pick them up for free: “In order to recycle their plastics, people in those areas would have to take them to one of the county’s three recycling centers…Parrish came up with a solution for his customers: His company would pick up the bottles from its customers for free.”

rice in the hall of fame! best receiver ever

 

 

 

 

Jerry Rice made his NFL debut as a San Francisco 49er in 1985, then went on to play for the Oakland Raiders and Seattle Seahawks in his 20-year career. (Getty Images)

The wideout who was deemed too small and too slow to become a solid NFL player when he came out of miniscule Mississippi Valley State in 1985 went on to break nearly every receiving record the NFL has.

Rice owns the record for most career receiving touchdowns (197), most career total touchdowns (208), most career receptions (1,549) and most career receiving yards (22,895), among many others.

“It’s something my parents instilled in me,” Rice said before choking up, thinking of his deceased father who taught him to catch bricks, picturing his mother who welcomed anybody into their Crawford, Miss., home and made them dinner.

“It was just hard work. Hard work and an appreciation for the game, and I love this game. It means everything to me.”

“My father just taught me hard work and to just go out there and put the time in,” Rice said. “He taught me discipline and also about responsibility. I just wanted to carry that work ethic on when I went to San Francisco.”

“I think that myth has grown a little bit over the years, but I did help my dad out by catching the bricks he threw down to me,” Rice said.
