Fresh herbs are wonderful and convenient when they are growing, but sometimes there can be an overabundance that needs to be preserved for later use.
Apparently one successful year is enough to give a pay raise to a coach who completed his rookie campaign. The Athletics Department announced Monday that coach Craig Neal will enter his second season at the Lobos’ helm netting a $950,000-per-year base salary, plus incentives, becoming the highest-paid coach in the conference.
Roger Waters, founding member of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd, has been a harsh critic of the Israeli government for many years.
For Copy: Now that the guns have been silenced By Alon Ben-Meir The new ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has immediately raised the same old question: will it last, or is it merely just another pause, providing the prelude for the next round of fighting? My reading of the situation that brought ...
The killing of an unarmed young black man in Ferguson, Missouri and the brutal response of police forces there to protesters brought down much needed media examination of the practices of police forces in the US. Several interviews reveal stories of constant police harassment, showing the singling out of minorities by law enforcement to be a common thing. It’s a sadly familiar occurrence. Yet, sometimes particular cases shine a magnifying glass on the overall injustice by way of driving home the central absurdity in it. On Aug. 22, around 5 p.m. local time, a black man walking down LaCienega Boulevard in Beverly Hills, California, was surrounded by police, cuffed, searched for weapons and detained on a six-figure bail demand.
Now more than ever, green chile is the defining flavor of New Mexico. Unfortunately, our most famous crop is being counterfeited by producers across the United States and as far away as China. New Mexico chile production has taken a tumble in recent years because of foreign growers marketing hot peppers as coming from New Mexico or even Hatch — the center of chile production in the state — when it is actually grown hundreds or thousands of miles away. Local chile acreage has declined from about 35,000 acres in 1992 to just 9,600 in 2012, according to the New Mexico Chile Association’s website. In April 2011, Gov. Susana Martinez signed the New Mexico Chile Advertising Act, which outlawed advertising any pepper as New Mexico chile unless it was grown in New Mexico.
The flight to Germany was very long. I am not used to sitting still in one place for that long. I was very excited to be arriving in Germany, and my transfer through customs went really smoothly. Shortly after arriving, I received a welcome letter from a government official that welcomed me to Bremen and also offered their assistance if needed. I was impressed by their kindness and that they took the time to write to me. Another experience that I was able to participate in took place in Münster. During my trip, I lived with two host families: one in Radolfzell and another in Bremen.
Coping with the loss of a beloved pet can be an incredibly painful experience, which unfortunately most of us will have to endure at some point in our lives. No matter how many times I’ve been through the misery of watching one of my feline children die, it never gets any easier. My wife and I recently had to put down our dear 15-year-old cat Itchy, who died from complications due to renal failure. Her sister Scratchy died several years ago after mistakenly drinking anti-freeze. We have no human children, so for us it was like losing a teenaged daughter. Again.
The language listed in the code of conduct needs to be much clearer with respect to hazing. Of course there must be camaraderie to create a successful organized group, whether it be a sports team, a work environment or a newsroom.
At my age, out of the blue, I’ve developed a completely new interest: one without irony and with utter devotion. I love professional wrestling.
There is a lot of damn theatre in Albuquerque. More than 40 theatre organizations belong to the Albuquerque Theatre Guild. Not bad for a city with a population just under a million. Most of this is “community theatre,” where locals volunteer for little or no money.
Back in January, the sports website Bleacher Report posted a column identifying the worst sore losers in sports. That list included the likes of tennis star Serena Williams, Dallas Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant, U.S. women’s soccer goalkeeper Hope Solo, and New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
Dungeons and Dragons. You’ve probably heard that name before. But what is it? Could you describe it? More than likely, you summon the stock image of fat, sweaty ‘neckbeards’ sitting in a basement together. But what are they actually doing down there? There are a few names for it.
Now that summer has come, it’s time to start some serious grilling. Grilling is at once the most primitive and one of the most delicious ways to prepare food.
The semester is almost over and students are studying for their final exams. Registration is already open for the first semester of 2014-2015 academic year and I know students, with help from their advisors and some online curricular planning tools, are deciding what to take next year.
It’s that time of the year again. Winter turns to spring, and back into winter again. The sun shines, the wind blows, the pollen flies and the rain falls. You might have heard the saying, “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.”
It’s hard to believe that spring break is only two weeks away; so much has been done and more has yet to be done.
This time every year the office gossip turns to the Academy Awards. “What’s the Best Picture gonna be this year?” “Who will win Best Actor?” Somebody comes up with a coherent argument for why they hate the Oscars, and everyone rolls their eyes and shrugs.
There are some things in life that are very hard to get. A passing grade in calculus, a hot body and discounted Lululemon are just a few, but one of the hardest things to get can be a second date.
