Well – If you notice, I said they performed an 18 song set, but only listed 17. My mistake. Thanks.

So… Candlebox didn’t play their biggest hit “Far Behind”??? Seriously, that’s the song that made them famous and the one song that people who don’t even know anything about the band will know. I would have been pissed if I went to the show and they didn’t do the one song that would have torn down the house.

Comment on UK vs. IU rivalry discontinued; UNC matchup’s future uncertain by robert cockerham

Coaches receive “stipends” (money) from the organizers of these neutral site games. Cal is in this for Cal and Cal only. He is making all of the calls just like he did in Memphis. Just today it was announced that the NCAA is investigating one of the players who just signed with UK. If Cal thinks the NCAA is on to him and coming to UK, watch him leave for his next “dream job” in the NBA. Cal left behind nothing that wasn’t screwed down when he left Memphis, including the secretary and the snow cone machine (really). The NCAA would like nothing better than to nail Cal. He’s been like the Teflon Don. But his day will come.

We’re so proud of these guys. Finishing their classwork in good academic standing was one of the last expressions of their wonderful teamwork. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Comment on What do you think about the UK basketball schedule changes? by Liberal Douche

Liberal Douche — Tue, 08 May 2012 14:48:09 +0000

Jim Haren, last year was the first reasonably good season IU has had in a very long time… just because they’re “developing” doesn’t obligate us to play them (or anyone else). What’s more, IU only wants to play us because they think they can beat us and the win would elevate their status. UK is no one’s stepping stone, so to hell with them.

In my view, no big deal that we aren’t playing IU, but the possible loss of UNC from the schedule could hurt a bit. UNC is a very good team year after year, so if we’re on a mission to play the best teams then they should be included. However, given we will play Duke this fall and some other tough teams in the early going, we can let a game to UNC fall by the wayside this year and be okay, but we should definitely pick it up in the future.

Preparing for the postseason requires playing good non-conference opponents. Just look at Michigan State’s track record over the years playing a brutal non-conference schedule and how they typically perform in the tournament. UK needs to play 3 marquee non-conference games a year, and this past year we hit that number.

It was said above. We should play the best. IU, UNC are two of the best year in and year out.

Remember calipari said they will play anybody anywhere anytime…well just as long as it isn’t in Bloomington (or Chapel Hill). fact…he won the title, but most likely would have lost to iu in Rupp next year ending the streak at home. When will BBN realize that he is looking out for himself and his record and not uk? Barnhart is an idiot for letting cal call all the shots. Even vitale notices that. Kudos to crean and Williams for standing their ground and not giving in to ending the greatness of college bball! Thanks Tom/Roy.

if the series had continued, they would have had to come to Lexington next year and might have broken UK’s home court winning streak which is currently at 52 and is the longest in the nation.
Here is a link that shows the nations longest winning streaks:

I think there reason to note that Kentucky’s young teams will benefit from strong neutral site/tournament style games. As an 18 year old, anything to make a setting familiar or relieve some butterflies has to be an advantage.

I am so proud of Philip’s conceiving the idea of this trip, of Brian’s eagerness to accompany his brother and father and of Ben to go with his two boys on this transcontinental trip. How proud and contented Ben must feel that Philip wanted to do this. Susan, wife, mother and niece, and I will be cheering them along the way (along with hundreds of other family and friends.) GO, GUYS, GO!!!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY White country and ONLY into White countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the White race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

The band and orchestra continued to magically charm the audience until the very last note was played and Gibbard took a bow. The connection between ears, hearts and music had never been synced so much before.

That’s how the article was supposed to end but was cut by the editors.

Comment on Without new facilities, some people with disabilities unable to reach all of campus by christina

christina — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:51:22 +0000

I think i’m missing your point. We live in a first world country. Are you suggesting that we should not pay attention to the accessibility needs of individuals with disabilities because of that? If you’re saying that there is immense need for disability awareness in infrastructure, accessibility to participation, and attitude, in other parts of the world, then i absolutely agree. But that does not mean that we here should not focus on universal inclusion and access for the people around us.

” If a curb access was inaccessible to an electric wheelchair, they had it fixed” – typical first world disability problem.

Comment on Without new facilities, some people with disabilities unable to reach all of campus by Pamela

Pamela — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:19:21 +0000

At my undergraduate school the president, top administrators, and the Board of Trustees did a tour of campus in wheelchairs and using crutches. They did a tour during the summer in sun and rain, in the fall with wet leaves and students crowding the campus, and again in winter when there was snow. It gave them a first-hand experience each year to challenges that new construction and changes to the campus caused for disabled students.

When a new building went up and the construction blocked a walkway, they used the tour to develop a new way for the students to get to class without too much trouble. If a curb access was inaccessible to an electric wheelchair, they had it fixed. Whether it was state mandated or they did it because they cared, the students always knew they were appreciated by the schools leaders.

Comment on Kernel Editorial: UK needs to address accessibility issues by Pamela

Pamela — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:27:48 +0000

I had a friend in college who was in a wheelchair and our campus was much easier for her to navigate. I find myself looking at UK’s campus and I agree with the editorial opinion that it is a major problem. I would hate for my friend to deal with all of the obstacles that she would encounter. I’ve often thought, since she became another state’s government enforcer of accessibility laws, that her opinion of UK’s campus would not have been favorable.

Comment on UK Resnet needs greater efficiency by Ellen

Ellen — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:09:45 +0000

As a senior and a user for three years of the ResNet services I feel like I must point out some faults with this person’s argument. Firstly, ResNet is not a internet service provider. ResNet is simply the troubleshooting aspect of the internet connection. Who you really have a problem with is Insight. Mind you, UK’s communications and Insight work together in order to provide the internet connections you see but ResNet itself is just here for fixing what goes wrong, as best as they can. ResNet itself stands for Resident Network which defines the connection in dorms.
Secondly, what you seem to be complaining about is the wireless. The wireless aspect of the internet connection is a new service this year so before it was better but mildly. Most students relied on the wired connection, which still works, and from my experiences on campus this year works much better than wireless. Also from what I know of next year, the wireless is being evaluated so it will probably either be greatly improved upon.

How do you not mention the man’s crowning achievement in the intro? Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the most successful superhero tv show of all time. And yet you cite his script doctoring on some mindless action movie? Really? Do you goddam homework next time, kiddo.
