nicki Minaj

Onika Maraj (Born December 8, 1984) known as Nicki Minaj is a female rapper from Southside Jamaica, Queens, NewYork. She grew up in a troubled home, with a father on drugs and a struggling single mother. Despite her hectic environment, Minaj went on to graduate from LaGuardia High School in Manhattan where she studied singing and acting.

Working as an administrative assistant, she dedicated all of her free time to pursuing a potential music career. Nicki Minaj started off singing, from background vocals, to hooks for local rappers. Minaj wanted to “stand out” more, from the average dime-a-dozen young aspiring singer and began writing raps. Starting out as the lone female in a group, (which she left in 2006)

Nicki soon branched out and was noticed on Myspace by Dirty Money CEO Fendi. Who signed her and put her on the front of his Dirty Money Label, and his The Come Up DVD.

Appearing on The Carter Edition of the DVD series, Minaj was noticed by rapper Lil’ Wayne who immediately called Fendi to negotiate meeting Nicki. He was convinced by not only her different style of rapping, but her ability to full on write her own material that she was perfect to be the face of his Young Money label. The two collaborated on mixtape styled remakes of tracks such as “Sunshine”, “Big Spender” and more recently a song entitled “Higher than a Kite” which uses T.I.’s “My Swag” beat. In April of 2007, she released her first mixtape entitled Playtime is Over. Where she posed as a Barbie doll on the cover. Lil’ Wayne appeared on the track “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop”.

Nearly a year later, Minaj released her second mixed cd titled Sucka Free. Controversy surrounded this as Nicki paid tribute to rapper Lil’ Kim by posing with her legs spread for promotional posters. She describes it as something to “pull people in”, so that they would listen to what she had to say. Nicki Minaj graced the pages of the July issue of the XXL magazine giving a brief overview of her life up to that point in time.

Originally using her real last name Maraj, Nicki boasts she started calling herself Minaj because she started “eating chicks”, with her vicious rap skills. Its pronounced as Menage, only spelled to compliment her real last name with a J instead of the traditional spelling.

Aside from her original moniker, Minaj also uses an array of Aka aliases to describe herself, such as; “Nicki Lewenski”, and “AKA Sit on your favorite rapper’s face”

SpongeBob SquarePants (often referred to simply as SpongeBob) is an American animated television series, created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg. Much of the series centers on the exploits and adventures of the title character and his various friends in the underwater city of "Bikini Bottom". The series' popularity has prompted the release of a media franchise, contributing to its position as Nickelodeon's highest rated show, the most distributed property of MTV Networks, and among Nicktoons' most-watched shows.As of 2011, Spongebob Squarepents is the only Nicktoon from the 90s that hasn't ended yet.
The basis for SpongeBob SquarePants was formed by Hillenburg in 1984 while teaching and studying marine biology at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point, California, where he wrote the comic strip The Intertidal Zone, which starred various anthropomorphic forms of sea life, many of which would evolve into SpongeBob SquarePants characters. He left the institute to become an animator in 1987, and later attended the California Institute of Arts in 1992. In the institute, he made his thesis film Wormholes (1992), which led to his hiring as a director, writer, producer, storyboard artist, and executive producer of the series Rocko's Modern Life by creator Joe Murray. He started to develop the series in 1996 following Rocko's Modern Life's, and pitched the series to Nickelodeon in 1998 and was later greenlit for a first season.
The pilot episode of SpongeBob SquarePants first aired episodes in the United States on Nickelodeon on May 1, 1999, following the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. The first episodes were called "Help Wanted", "Reef Blower", "Tea at the Treedome". The "official" series premiere followed on July 17, 1999, with the second episode, "Bubblestand/Ripped Pants." The show reached enormous popularity by 2000 and has remained popular since. A feature film of the series was released in theaters on November 19, 2004. The series is currently in its seventh season and celebrated its tenth anniversary on July 17, 2009. SpongeBob was renewed for a ninth season on January 3, 2011,and the traditional definition of season is different for this series and defines more that episodes are ordered for future airing rather than they will be aired throughout one calendar year.

KOREAN FOOD=KIMBAP

Vegetable Kimbap

Kimbap is similar to sushi roll. Vegetable Kimbap especially tastes similar to California roll. You can buy Kimbap at a Kimbap store, and there is one on nearly every corner of the street in Korea. (Kimbap is available from 1000 won (US $ 1.05) at the shop.)
Kimbap is very popular as a picnic meal. There are lots of variations of kimbap, however I’m going to show you how to make vegetable kimbap today. It is quite simple to follow.


Ingredients for 2 people

• Laver 4 sheets
• Steamed rice for 2 people
• 4 Yellow radish strips
• 2 Crab sticks
• 4 sticks of BBQ Kimbap ham (Kimbap ham is long and easy to slice. Because it is made for Kimbap)
• 3 stalks of spinach
• 1/5 a carrot
• 6 long sticks of seasoned edible burdock root
• 3 eggs
• Some sesame oil
• Some salt

Preparation (It will take about 15 minutes)

1. Cut the crab sticks in half. (Length ways, it will give you a total 4 sticks.)
2. Cut the carrots into long thin slices. (I need 6 sticks.)
3. Rinse the spinach and parboil it in boiled water. (For 1 minute)
4. Put the spinach into a bowl. Add 2 sprinkles of salt and 1 dash of sesame oil on spinach then mix it well.
5. Beat one egg in a bowl. Fry the egg in a pan and make the egg stick by rolling it. (It is better if you can make it thin.) Do the same with rest of the eggs.

6. Cook the carrots, crab sticks and BBQ ham in a pan with a little oil. (You can use un-cooked ones, but I prefer cooked ones.)
7. Put all the ingredients on one plate. It makes it easy to roll.

8. Add 2 dashes of sesame oil and 2 sprinkles of salt on the rice. Mix it well.

• During the process of no 5 and 6 I used the same pan and I didn’t rinse or wash it.

Making (It will take about 10 minutes)

1. Place one laver on the bamboo mat. (Actually you don’t really need a mat. I hardly use it.)
2. Put the rice on the laver. You need to spread it thinly. (I use my fingers and rice spatula.)
3. Put two burdock sticks, two carrot sticks, crab stick, ham, yellow radish, egg stick (all one each), and some spinach in the middle of the rice.
4. Roll it. (If the laver doesn’t stick, paste some water at the edge.

5. Once you made rolls, paste some sesame oil onto the laver surface (just little bit) and slice them.

6. Serve it on the plate.

I expected to make 3 big rolls which is just enough for two of us, but there was some seasoned rice left over, so I had to make 1 small roll extra.
