First of all, our deepest sympathies go out to all the people who’ve lost homes in the Southern California fires, and a great big heartfelt THANKS go to all the brave firefighters. The “ramen blog headquarters” is just a few miles from the Santiago Canyon fire, and we’re still trying to pick all the ash out of our ramen.
Have you been to instant ramen heaven?
Here’s something I thought I’d never say: here’s a NSFW quote about ramen — ramen?!?!
Ramen, the educational video, just like the ones you watched in grade school (complete with educational video cheesy music)? (look in the lower left corner of the page)

Hey kids, science experiment
Can you eat a “galaxy” of ramen? A “universe” of ramen? How about a “black hole” of ramen

Kevin's back and blogging about the Dow's second week of the month strength. Welcome back, Kevin.Curtis Faith makes a good point regarding new traders having a tendency to overgeneralize. I think this point dovetails nicely with the topic of rule-making. On an unrelated note I also believe that over generalization is what partisan politics is all about. It's easier to take the same side of every issue that the party you more closely identify with is taking than it is to objectively assess the pros and cons of every complex matter. I'll make that the first topic of the political blog that I have no intention of ever writing.Dr. Jeff has a dash of insight on how difficult it is to time the market for small gains. Personally, I've been trying to stop wasting time guessing whether the overall market is topping or bottoming. Although I still love to buy at the tail end of down days, I'm mainly focusing on buying individual charts I like and trying not to fuss about where I think the N

The Brussels Journal: Jihad and European MulticulturalismThe jihadists are clearly winning their battle over the British people. In the UK, the Labour government has shown that it is more than willing to jeopardise national security in favour of its oppressive multicultural agenda. Violent Muslims - a hotchpotch of infantile soul-searching converts, theocratic barbarians and permanently incensed and uneducated nobodies - who are supposed to be living as British citizens are intending to kill the people they live among. Clearly, the European multicultural project is failing to such a degree that citizens not only possess a visceral hatred of one another but they are now at war with one another.Melanie Phillips: Suicide of the WestWhen America was attacked on 9/11 by Islamic jihadis, it was said that this was a doomsday wake-up call for the West. Within a short while, however, much of Britain decided that 9/11 was actually America's fault and that Israel was at the core of the prob
