Because most young people don't understand that because it isn't a problem for them, it might be a problem for someone else. However I am an exception and since I am in NYC with time to kill, I will help.

If the image is on the web-
For most images you can right click and then click on copy image url. If not, right click on an image, and click show image, or otherwise get the image url. Image urls usually end with .jpeg or .gif
Once you have the image url, click the icon on the options bar above the reply text box. If you look closely, it looks like a tree. Clicking the tree icon opens a prompt box that has 2 tabs for 2 different ways of posting an image. Since you are posting with an image url at this point, make sure you are in the correct tab. If it has a button that says browse computer, click the other tab. Right click in the little text box and paste the image url there. Then click submit, and you are home free.
If the image is on your computer, click the tree icon, click the tab that says computer and browse until you find the image. Select it, then submit and you are home free

Thank you....

After several months off, he came storming back for 0 points, 4 bounds and 4 fouls in 9 minutes

As if his previous performance on 4-6-14 wasn't enough, he followed it up with another rock solid 0 points, 0 bounds, 1 block and 1 foul in 2 minutes of action on 4-12-14, leading his team past VdR Valladolid

I may sound facetious, but I am actually just glad he didn't get released. After the long absence of stats, I thought maybe he was off the roster, but now I think it may have just been an injury. The interesting thing is, while his team is having a rough season, they are 2-0 so far with him back.

Ok, I guess in the interest of keeping this going, has there EVER been a discussion of Erupke vs. other role centers in WSU history...like Kosich, Mendelsohn(sp), and the like?

Revised version:

Here's a recent paragraph in Spanish about Ehimen.

Para cubrir la ausencia de Tillie, el club dio de alta ayer al nigeriano Ehimen Orukpe, un pívot que no entra en los planes y que se quedó sin ficha tras la llegada del ala pívot Nemanja Radovic. Orupke, quien estuvo más de dos semanas en su país solucionando unos problemas con su visado, volverá a vestirse mañana de corto. Desde el pasado 25 de enero no ha jugado ni un solo minuto con el UCAM, por lo que parece complicado que entre en la rotación de Marcelo Nicola, aunque en esta ocasión podría tener una oportunidad para intentar defender a Pleiss.

I have no idea what it says but this thread needed a bump.

according to google:

To cover the absence of Tillie, the club was discharged yesterday Nigerian Ehimen Orukpe, a pivot that does not fit into the plans and record it ran out after the arrival of power forward Nemanja Radovic. Orupke, who spent more than two weeks in his country solving some problems with his visa, will short dress tomorrow. Since last January 25 has not played a single minute with UCAM, so it seems difficult to enter the rotation Marcelo Nicola, but this time might have a chance to try to defend Pleiss.

I was going to try to get the stupid Missouri threads off the first page but people keep replying to the trolls.

That explains why there was long gap between games where he saw any minutes. He was basically off from Jan. 25th till April 6th, when he starting logging minutes again. That must have been an article about him coming back for April. He played in three games this month, and now appears to have been released. He isn't listed on the roster for UCAM Murcia for the first time this season. I've been checking periodically, so not seeing him on there now is actually a development. He is also now listed in the "former players" section.

I wonder where he will go next?

There's some on-court action in there too. I had trouble understanding the announcer. It was like he was talking some foreign language.

[Dave Stalwart]

Apparently he had 4pts, 4 rebounds, and a block in 13 minutes.
