How to edit a pdf document on a mac
If you've ever been given a pdf file that you want to edit, or a pdf form that you need to complete and return electronically, you'll realise it's not obvious how to edit a pdf file. NOw for proper editing you need to get a powerful program like Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Acrobat Professional, but the good news is that the OSX built in pdf reader app – 'preview' – can edit pdf files to a limited extent. You can't move around or change what's already in the pdf document, but you can add text and graphics. Here's how.
If you double click on any pdf file in OSX it will open in an application called preview. You can read the pdf and scroll around etc.
Go up to the View menu and select the menu item called 'Show Annotations Toolbar. This will give you a toolbar along the bottom of your preview window to help you edit the pdf file.
After you select the 'View: Show Annotations Toolbar' menu you will see a toolbar across the bottom of the preview window that looks like this:
These buttons will allow you to edit the pdf file. The left three buttons make an arrow, a circle or a rectangle. The fourth button along allows you to add text to the pdf.
If you click on the text box button – the 4th button across, you can then go up to your document and add in a text box like this:
This is a very easy way to fill in pdf files that are forms.
If you highlight the newly added text you can change the font by pressing Apple-T and the font window will appear.
You can't delete what's already in a document, but you can draw a rectangle over it to hide it and type something new over the top.
You'll notice you can't change the rectangle color from being black, but you can put a very fat white border around it so it looks like a white rectangle!
If you want to totally change the images and text on an existing pdf file you will need an application like Adobe Illustrator that can actually edit the content of pdf files, but if you only want to make small changes the built in preview app will do the job!

This was a German close-range anti-aircraft weapon devised in 1944 and placed in limited production. It consisted of nine 20mm tubes mounted so that they could be fired from a man's shoulder by electric impulse. Each tube was loaded with a rocket made from a 20mm cannon shell fitted to a steel tube containing angled vents. On firing the angled vents caused the rocket to spin rapidly, so stabilizing its Flight. The rockets were fired in two salvos, one of five shots and one of four, in quick succession, and the weapon could be rapidly reloaded by using a special loading clipp which held another nine rockets. Maximum range was about 2,000yd, though the most effective fighting range was about 500yd. Production was scheduled to begin in February 1945 but it is thought that very few were actually made.

I was very disappointed with the service of this garage.
My daughter wanted to test drive a car at 3.50 on a Friday afternoon. She was extremely interested in buying it. The car was just inside the showroom doors and there was only 1 car parked in front of the door so it would have been easy to get the car out. The guy told us to go back the next day, which we could not do as my daughter was at work all day. The only other time she could have viewed the car properly was at night when it was dark. We told the man this and he dismissed us.
It seemed he couldn't be bothered and was very flippant, so my daughter came away disappointed. Luckily for her, the same day she saw another car in better condition and did a private sale.
This would have been cash sale, the transaction could have been done immediately if the car was suitable. Kerrs Kars obviously don't value their customers and so they have lost out.

Elite Restaurant in Monterey Park.
- h
- Humorousam Aug 27, 2008 10:21 PM
Believe it or not, Elite is the name of a infamous little restaurant in Monterey Park, passed the famous NBC Seafood Restaurant.
I went in there just because my friend said his cousin had a recent job there, and told him that this restaurant has the most fresh seafood, even more so than NBC.
I had to check this out, obviously knowing the fame of NBC, and the irony of Elite being as little as 3 blocks down. I end up at Elite for both Dim Sum (breakfast) and Dinner. The only time I've ever done that in my life (trust me, my personal life is filled with things to do).
I STRONGLY recommend this Chinese based restaurants to first the English or Americans who can't get enough Dim Sum, this has to be the most fresh and most delicate Dim Sum in Los Angeles, (if it doesn't suit you the way me, I say top 5) I strongly suggest to try their dinner menu after you have tried their dim sum. The reason i recommend this to Americans or other ethnics other than Asian is because the service towards non-Asians is phenominal. Talk about tolarating other ethnicities. I wasn't so sure when I saw Chinese letters and most Chinese People inside, how I would be treated, but to my surprise; the servants were neither too surprised or too misprised to see a non-Asian. This was a first.
You won't find me adding new topics very often either, but this one had me at the modern way of ordering dim sum. This restaurant is recommended for everyone, family, adults, rich or poor. Great choice in simple chinese dining, the only bad thing is the poor selection of beer. ;]

Pretty much the best Dim Sum and service I've ever had in L.A. area.
And the location is just ironic.
re: justagthing
Servants! haha ;]
re: Humorousam
you know i mean servers lol.
re: Humorousam
yes, but I couldn't resist, hee hee
re: justagthing
haha, you've been to elite? what's your take?
re: Humorousam
Seemed very typical Chinese. Some were nice, others indifferent. One lady seems to have a permanent scowl, but when this cute kid sat down, she started playing with him, teasing and even scolding him (in a nice way). So, eh, but I did really enjoy the dim sum, the only miss for me was that huge shark fin dumpling.
I agree with you. Elite is one of the best dim sum/Cantonese restaurants around. Here is some more info for your reading pleasure: http://www.geocities.com/raytamsgv/ch...
Just a brief Elite love story --
I love the fermented black beans that they (and many other Chinese restaurants) use in some of their dishes. When I asked one of the managers at the desk (the lady with the glasses that is usually at their cash register) how I could purchase these beans in a Chinese market, she said that she would have some for me the next time I went to Elite for dim sum. Sure enough, she remembered and brought me my own personal container of these fermented black beans. And again, the next time I was there, she brought me another container to take home. How very thoughtful and kind!
Every one of our many, many times something impresses us about Elite for dim sum! I think their egg tarts are the best of any I have had, and their almond muffins are luscious! I am also quite fond of their special vegetable rice noodles. Everything is superb!
I too am a huge fan of Elite. I've recommended it countless times here on the boards for dim sum or dinner...that Peking Duck "two ways" is as good if not better than Lu Din Gee (LDG serves it with pancakes, Elite with buns for the skin and pancakes for the meat, mu shu (sp) style.) My dad is an "old school Chinese foodie" loved the pigs feet :0) Re dim sum, I've had shiu mai a thousand times in my life but this was the only place where I was completely blown away by its freshness... funny for the most basic of dim sum dishes to be so notably delicious. Never been disappointed there.
re: chowmominLA
I'm with you, chowmominLA!
Every weekend we try to be experimental (like a true Chowhound might) and try other places...but we almost always agree that this is the experience we crave...almost every Saturday morning! Even when we try new (to us!) items on the menu, we are never disappointed. I could close my eyes and select...my only regret is that I get full too quickly.
I also love that there are often surprises (new items!) being passed around on the trays. What fun! Elite is never boring.
re: liu
Oh actually I do remember ONE time I was disappointed: I ordered something to the effect of "Blue Mountain Coffee Cake" off the dim sum menu (sounds intriguing, right), and I was expecting, you know, coffee cake... but instead it was this coffee flavored gelatin dessert which wasn't very good and nothing at all like what I'd expected :0)
re: chowmominLA
My sister and I are pretty fearless eaters. We make it game to order at least two dishes that sound different when we go for dim sum. Then we try to make notes on a takeaway menu for next time. It's a fun way of doing dim sum russian roulette since we like Elite's execution of most dishes.
re: chowmominLA
When their egg tarts are warm (and they usually are), they are divine.
They have some almond "muffins" (they are rather anemic looking) that can be wonderful; the flavor of these seems to vary from week to week, however.
I love their special vegetable rice noodles and their XO rice noodles. Regarding this last dish, the rice noodles in XO sauce, be sure that you get the rice noodles and not the taro pieces in XO sauce. The two look very similar but the texture is quite different. The taro is mushy, like a potato, while the rice noodles are smooth and sometimes crispy from the XO sauce.
re: chowmominLA
Hey, chowmominLA --
No problem repeating; I never get tired dreaming about Elite. It's Thursday evening...only about 36 more hours until dim sum!
re: chowmominLA
The standards like the ha gow and shu mai are always good. But we really like their rendition of taro and turnip cakes. The traditional fried is comfort food for me. Elite's version is to steam it. We really like that version.
For a dessert type item, try the home style sugar cake. It's sort of like a brown sweet sponge cake.
re: chowmominLA
Oh - we actually liked the blue mountain coffee jello. It was kind of unique, but our must have dessert is also the egg tarts, and we order the macau roast pork every time also.
Agree about the shau mai. Most places (even Sea Harbour) we pass on those, but somehow Elite's version is so savory...
Been there a lot for dim sum. So what else are good for dinner besides the Peking Duck?
I personally don't get all the stuff in this thread about bad service in chinese places.
I've rarely had bad service in chinese restaurants. Sometimes - as at giang nan and 101 noodle express and YunGui yunnan and sichaun resto on Garfield, they've been incredibly friendly. And I don't appear Chinese or East asian in the least - as I'm not.
THis as opposed to an incident the other evening at an establishment serving french food - two tables - 19 people. We were told by the manager when making the reservation that there would be an 18% service charge calculated before tax on the meal.
After the meal, late in the evening, the hostess brings the check (we're paying cash as there are 19 of us) and I see that it's 20% calc after tax. It isn't the few dollars - it's the principle - perhaps fraud. I tell her i'd like to speak with the manager - everyone's gone home. She tells me this is the policy - flagrantly contradicting both what we heard and the website which is clear - 18% added for parties of 6 or more.
So we call out for extra - people pay. WE leave - ( i do this relatively quietly away from the tables so as not to ruin everyone's evening). The next day I call the resto - speak with teh manager - or owner - he tells me no it's 18% pre-tax. I tell hijm what happened, described the hostess, and he can check the bill. No credit card refund as we all paid cash.
So i'm getting a (small i'm sure) gift certificate. But the experience so soured me that I dont' know if I"m going back.
NOthing like this has ever happened to me at a CHinese restaurant, even when having planned a banquet there.
So there it is.
re: Jerome
Well, sorry to hear of your experience at the French restaurant. When people talk about bad service at a Chinese restaurant, it is usually during the meal or ordering, not at the end as what happened to you. For example, when ordering, the waitperson often makes comments or makes rude facial expressions. When you want more water, it may take you several hailings to finally get someone's attention. If they got something wrong and you point it out to them, they aren't as courteous to you and almost makes it your fault. But, it is something that many of us are use to, growing up with it, it really isn't rude to my standards, just how it is. Oh, and yes, I am Asian.
re: justagthing
My sentiments exactly... growing up I was always certain that the reason why I was treated so badly by staff at Chinese restaurants is because I'm Chinese but don't speak any dialect. Now I think that's just the way it is. It's a different culture. Without the somewhat cold service and the numerous typos on the menu, it wouldn't be authentic :0)
I also think it's ok to tip accordingly. With rude service I don't take it personally and won't think twice about it but I'm not leaving 15%. So when I get really good, friendly service and I tip 20%, they always seem so surprised... like they're not used to getting that much. Maybe because generally the tips aren't very good is another reason why, generally speaking, service is the way it is.
re: chowmominLA
That's very true. A few times, I've seen my mom get into some very heated discussions with some very colorful insults flying around. Those insults are definitely better in Cantonese. :-)
re: chowmominLA
I have it on good authority that the standard tip from Chinese customers in SGV restaurants is 10%.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
That's why good Chinese restaurants love non-Chinese customers. :-)
re: Jerome
You've got to name that establishment serving french food.
At Grace, they also calculated the tip after tax.
re: slacker
the manager/owner apologized the next day and offered to make restitution. I didn't have any contact with the waitress afterards. It's a nice place - so give it a try
Okay so all this talk about Elite had my mouth watering so I went there for a late dim sum lunch today. I got there at 1:30 and was a little worried that I was able to find a parking spot right in front of the restaurant, and there was only about a 2 minute wait for a table -- not even enough time to pull up this thread on my iPhone and remind myself what to try.
When I was seated a waiter asked if I wanted tea and I said, "no thanks, just ice water please."
After checking boxes and scratching them out and checking different ones and scratching those out, I finally settled on an order of shiu mai (#2 on the menu), the dry scallop egg white fried rice (76) and the macau egg custard (34).
The shiu mai came out pretty quickly. I had been wow'ed by it before, and it wow'ed me again. It's simply the best shiu mai ever... so nice and plump, juicy, succulent, fresh... with large chunks of fresh shrimp mixed in with the juicy and slightly fatty pork, perfectly seasoned. There's a dab of smelt egg on top, just enough to give each bite little salty pops. So wonderful. Who would have thought that something as basic as shiu mai could be so tantalizing.
Next came the fried rice. Since I had the pork fried rice at Din Tai Fung, I've never ordered fried rice anywhere else because I never thought any place could have a fried rice as light, tasty and perfect. Until now.... The fried rice was wonderful. I think it may have been ever so slightly greasier than DTF's, but it had a different taste that I just loved, maybe simply because I was growing tired of DTF's pork flavored fried rice. I didn't really know what to expect with "dry scallop", it turns out that it's dried scallop flakes, and looks similar to bonito flakes, but is much better. It's not too salty, it was just right to give the dish scallop flavor. There was also thinly-cut asparagus, cilantro and green onion in it along with, of course, a generous amount of egg white (which I've realized I vastly prefer to whole egg in my fried rice.) Anyway, the order was huge so even after wolfing down a few servings I have enough left over for dinner for me and my toddler.
Finally came the three little baked "macau egg custard" pies. I picked one up, it was still warm. I took a bite and....
oh. My. GOD.
This had to have been the most wonderful thing I've had in a while, which is saying a lot for someone who lives her life around food. The custard was like a beautiful creme brulee, but more eggy and less sweet (with the slightly burnt surface reminiscent of burnt marshmallow from a campfire s'more) in a light puff pastry. It was warm and just melts in your mouth and is just so perfect. It reminds you why you love food and life so much. It's the "oh. My. GOD" factor that I hadn't had since I went to Sushi Zo about a month ago. Even though I'm not much of a sweets or dessert person, this little macau egg custard will be one of my all time favorite dishes of anywhere. But I can see how the recommendation for this custard was qualified on whether it's served warm, because room temperature would have made it completely different.
As I savored my lunch and looked around at the pretty dark decor and saw the staff smiling to their customers, I regretted my post just hours ago recommending VIP in Brentwood, in light of its convenient location. No offense to VIP or any of the other "good" dim sum spots -- they're all fine for what they are, whether it be factoring in price, convenience, what have you. But Elite is simply in another league. A completely different world.
I got a to go box for my fried rice, got the bill and saw there was a $1.00 tea set up charge. When I gave my bill back with my credit card I nicely asked if I should have a tea charge when I had no tea (recall, I was asked "if" I wanted tea, not "what kind", in which case I would have ordered anything, took a few sips and expected and paid the charge.) They quickly took it off. I responded with a generous tip.
Elite had always been neck and neck with Sea Harbour. Sea Harbour has always had fresh and innovative dim sum, a few stand out dishes and I've never left disappointed. But I think all around considering the atmosphere, the service and of course the "wow" factor of the food, Elite has edged Sea Harbour out to take the top spot for dim sum places in my book.
There are only two negatives about my experience with Elite. First, it is probably the most expensive of dim sum spots. I had a full, white linen service dim sum lunch at Blue Ocean Seafood (new New Capital place, in the space where MVP used to be) where the bill after tax but before tip was less than $10 for five orders of good, solid dim sum. Here, the shiu mai and the egg custard were $3.28 each, plus $11.80 for the fried rice, so with tax but before tip it was $20 -- twice the price for the same amount of food. Mind you, I think the $10 is worth it. It's not like the price difference of Urasawa versus those on the steps below; we're talking $10. Still, the price difference is worth the mention.
Second, I wanted to sample about $2,594.36 worth of food but as a solo diner I settled for three dishes for $20. Not the restaurant's fault, just a personal gripe of my own circumstance.
Anyway, blah blah blah... just go.

re: chowmominLA
Great post, chowmominLA! Hear my echo...if I could have written this myself, I would have!
I have been raving about Elite for more than a year now...since they changed names, and I consider it the best dim sum in our area; as you have said, it is on a level by itself and it consistently delivers delicious food.
In response to a few of the other posts here, we have been treated only with great kindness and respect; our service has always been attentive and extraordinary!
Next time, chowmominLA, do consider a cup of tea. Their tea is quite good and you can select between jasmine, oolong and pu-erh.
re: chowmominLA
Thanks for the review. I have been going to Elite instead of Sea Harbour for a while. Sea Harbour is good, but I don't think it is as innovative in putting little twists to traditional dim sum as Elite. I just find Elite's dim sum consistently good, and it's about the only restaurant that I will actually endure 1/2 hour or more wait. I guess I don't really watch the price at all, not when the food is good. I only gripe (a lot) if it's mediocre food and expensive prices.
The first few times we went the shui mai actually have 1/4 pieces of fresh scallops on top. I noticed that they were gone the last time we went. It doesn't really detract much, as it was still very good.
I don't understand the threads about bad services in chinese restaurants. I never have rude services in any of the chinese restaurants, just sometimes indifferent or slow ones. Not bad enough to deter me from going, anyway.
I don't know if having a kid in the party helped.
re: notmartha
At 1:30 today there was virtually no wait and plenty of parking, and at most dim sum places that might translate to limited choices or stale / room temperature / not-as-fresh dim sum due to sitting in the carts for so long -- but not at Elite -- it was as fresh and hot as it would have been any other time. So I'm thinking of shooting for around 1:30 for mid-week dim sum there from now on. Sushi Gen in Little Tokyo is the same way.
Oh and I forgot to mention something funny... at the table next to mine three Chinese women were finishing up and settling the bill -- there was no food left and no leftovers except three of the four squares of that "Blue Mountain Coffee Cake" aka coffee jell-o. They kept pushing it to each other only to have it pushed back like a hot potato. Wonder if when they ordered it they had been envisioning coffee cake rather than Jell-o too... lol.
re: chowmominLA
That's why I can never bring myself to the push cart dim sum places anymore. If I go early at those places there's not much selection, if I go at prime time the wait is 1-1.5 hours, and then I am at the mercy of the push cart ladies. Plus I like the fried food to be fresh hot out of the fryer, and it's hard to get that there.
The only gripe I have on Elite and Sea Harbour is that you would think that they will try to serve the sweet stuff last, as a dessert, but sometimes the tarts arrive mid point through the meal and by the time we get around to eating them it's not as hot (still good, but I really like my food really hot).
That is funny. I dunno, I think we were kind of stuffed then so we didn't mind something light like a jello instead of a cake.
re: notmartha
If you want the tarts last, don't include it in your *initial* order. When you are close to finishing, tell one of the servers that you want to order something else. We do this because we often add items as we're eating.
re: raytamsgv
I guess I have to try that. Just don't want to hassle with locating the waiter mid-way through the meal. We went today, and they served the egg tarts first! I always over order, not under.
re: notmartha
Just wave them down - the lines of communication there are good...
re: bulavinaka
They were so busy yesterday our dirty dishes were only cleared once and I had a tough time flagging them down even for a check.
I'll have to do that next time because a lukewarm egg tart is not as good.
On unusual stuff, my parents (visiting from NYC) remarked that they have a little twist on even traditional dishes. It's kind of subtle - for instance peanuts with chicken feet, yam? with steamed pork ribs, taro with beef ribs, and asparagus in the shrimp rice noodle. My brother was kind of dismayed when he thought he's getting street food style fried rice cruller with noodles (#43) and there's shrimp paste in them.
I am not sure why, but I like #35 - it's kind of a sweet chewy pancake, but with bits of chinese sausage thrown in. My hubbie can't fathom the texture and the sweet and savory at once, but it's kind of interesting. I don't think I've seen it anywhere else.
We also like the panfried turnip cake with XO sauce.
re: raytamsgv
Totally agree w/ raytamsgv. :)
notmartha, whenever I go with my Dim Sum Hounds, we always order our desserts halfway through the meal (just tell them you're adding some dishes), that should ensure you get your desserts fresh out of the kitchen toward the end of your meal. Enjoy. :)
re: chowmominLA
Since the fried rice (not a dim sum item) was over half your bill...
re: ipsedixit
In Q'i'Goh (a city of far-western China populated historically by Shanghai expats), the local version of dim sum is always served on a fragrant and deliciously oily bed of fried rice, which contains dried fruits and vegetables reconstituted in sour camel's milk.
You can try the dish at one of the more than 50 Gohean restaurants in Southern California, located primarily between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. Among the better known are Father's Office (SM branch only), Cut (available on the small-plates menu for $146 the piece), Tito's Tacos (try the amazing hard-shell BBQ camel-hair bao!), and Q'i'Wu Express (no food -- "express" is a rough translation of "no food, nothing").
re: Mel Gee
re: ipsedixit
I don't know that I'd go that far. I've been known to order salty fish & chicken fried rice at dim sum.
re: ipsedixit
Um, I loved it and I don't think they serve it for dinner, so no regrets.
went today.
service was fine, very friendly.
Best thing - immediately brought a fresh pot of chrysanthemum tea when asked. When we commented on the (good) jasmine tea in the standard pot - the water asked if we wanted something stronger. We said, sure, tie guan yin tea would be great. They brought out a pot and it was fantastic.
As for the dimsum itself - nice, but I wasn't all that impressed. We had the vegetarian "supreme" rice noodle, the siu mai were VERY GOOD, the rolled tofu with the sweet sauce, the ok goose webbings with papaya, the zongzi were Excellent (glutinous rice in leaves), the glutinous rice filled bao, so so, I found the selection a bit more limited than i expected - no geoduck, no straight tendon dishes, no straight tripe, no octopus or simple roasts, there was a beef stew with some tripe...
what is delicate to some is bland to others. Also, no phoenix dumpling in soup (ok with shark fin) .
We had one fried taro roll flled with dried scallop that was disappointing. But the room is pleasant, the service fine, the chasiu bao baked or steamed fine, if you like your hargow go for it, the chiuchow style fun gwor with the peanuts were dandy.
Not my first place to go back. Bad? Not at all. But i prefer 888 and even (HORRORS) empress. And for a menu dimsum place - mission 261 (if that's the right number).
re: Jerome
re: Jerome
Jerome, tie guan yin is also called Iron Buddha, correct? If I ask for that will they know what I mean?
I used to have Iron Buddha in Hong Kong with very early morning dim sum, and it was black and strong and served in tiny saucers. Are we talking about the same tea?
re: sbritchky
YEs it's iron buddha - lit iron avalokitesvara boddhistava aka guanshiyin pu-sa, aka guanyin (japanese Kannon).
Elite is now No. 1 for me too, for dim sum. It's better than Sea Harbour, after very recent re-visits to both.
I just never could understand why anyone would go to a place like Elite or Sea Harbour and only order the basic stuff. Okay, so order some of the basics that you can't live without, but to me, the whole point of having dim sum at places like these and paying the premium, is to try their more unusual offerings.
I haven't been there for dinner, but the menu looks very interesting, quite different. Except for those Thai dishes, I don't know about that.
re: slacker
slacker...honestly, we try to order new items all the time, but there are SO many of our favorites that we crave. We go every weekend, almost! Still, it is not often enough.
Our "must haves" are more than we can consume at one sitting...
While we always approach it intellectually and decide that we "should" order their "unusual offerings," it just doesn't happen. Whatev -- we are never disappointed and always leave with a smile!
re: slacker
Clarification -- unusual or new TO US.
I agree that they do the basics with extraordinary skill; their egg tarts are amazing! Yet, we would like to stretch and try a few items that we don't normally order...yet we remain extremely satisfied with our usual rotation of our favorites. So, it doesn't really matter if their menu is more varied than some of the other dim sum places; what they do they do so well.
re: liu
I meant unusual relative to the general offerings at most dim sum places. Like that giant shark's fin dumpling in broth, which I really liked. And the Baked scallops and turnip cake, which I really did not like. And the Bamboo pith and sea cucumber wrap (like).
They also do a great version of the suen jook roll, pork, sometimes with some sort of veg (sometimes available in all veg), rolled in bean thread sheets. Every dim sum place has this, but theirs is so good.
re: slacker
slacker, do you know what this bean thread roll is called on the Elite menu? We think Capital does a very good version; they have two with different fillings...I like one better than the other but I only know the distinction visually and not by name.
re: liu
speaking of unusual dishes at Elite, I'm planning on taking my mom and family there for her birthday this Sunday. Our typical dim sum orders consist of har gow, shui mai, turnip cake, chicken feet, tofu sheet rolls, the flat rice sheet rolls with shrimp in them, and sometimes the sticky rice in lotus leaf.
What unusually good items would we add to that?
re: kingkong5
I would suggest you try some of the following at Elite:
1. Pork and abalone dumplings in shark fin soup
2. Steamed taro cake
3. Deep fried peanut and sesame cake
4. Beef stew with curry sauce
5. Claypot (salted fish and pork)
6. Congee (duck eggs and fish maw)
7. Pancakes
re: kingkong5
kingkong5 -- Their sticky rice in lotus leaf is loaded with tasty surprises! I do wish that they wouldn't use the paper to separate the lotus leaf from the rice, however; I want to taste the leaf! There must be a practical reason for this?
re: bulavinaka
Some people prefer it this way. Easier to eat, and you don't get your hands all sticky unwrapping the bamboo/lotus leaf.
re: ipsedixit
Then they ought to sans the flora. My MIL would have inflicted bodily harm on to someone - probably me for taking her here - had she been presented this... Traditionalist rant over...
re: slacker
Thanks, slacker!
re: slacker
That's #3 on the menu.
re: slacker
That might be true, but after a while, even the most unusual dishes become normal. As a child, I complained frequently how we always at boring dim sum every week instead of exotic foods like pizza, hamburgers and hot dogs. Discovering relish and pickles was like nirvana to us!

bottleneck graphics card?
Viewing 1 post (of 1 total)
hello : )
I have quite a large patch with audio ins/outs delays , 0 n 1 processing some vst inserts and OSC messaging.
ive just tested this patch on my main machine.When I zoom out to look at this patch as a whole, it is very sluggish in response. in fact some times when I zoom out it freezes. :( i monitor my ram (@ 1066mhz)
ram available before i open the patch = 1711mb
ram after i open the patch = 1460mb
So the ram seems o.k.
I monitor the cpu (quad @ 1600 fsb 2.8 x4 ghz)
The cpu load when the patch dsp is enabled on ( and i'm zoomed in) = 3 %
the cpu load when the patch dsp is enabled on (and im zoomed out) = 23% (mainly on core 3 but also 2 and 4)
So the cpu seems fine also but i stil get the sluggishness and freezes. As I am not really an expert, I would say i need to invest in a new graphics card? I ask because, maybe there is something i am overlooking? A setting to reduce the load on the graphics side of things??
my card has Clock Speed: 525 MHz RAMDAC Clock Speed: 400 MHz , 256mb ddr2. (asus eah2400pro) real cheap thing 25 uk pounds or near about !
what graphics cards do you guys run on your big patches?
thanks for any help. : P

Floyd Mayweather's next fight is against another boxer NOT named Manny Pacquiao
2/1/12 in Boxing | Pat | 5235 respect
If you still care enough to continue reading, I commend you. Instead of taking a risk and fighting Pacquiao, a fight that could actually challenge Mayweather, he's taking on Miguel Cotto.
Cotto is coming off 3 straight wins, over Yuri Foreman, Ricardo Mayorga and Antonio Margorito, who had beaten Cotto in their first bout. Before those three, Cotto lost in a 12th round TKO to Pacquiao, whom most fans would much rather see in the ring against Mayweather.
Once again, it appears as though Mayweather is ducking the more challenging fight in favor of one that seems more winnable.
Cotto is a strong opponent, without a doubt. I wouldn't want to make it seem like I'm trying to discredit him by any means. He has beaten outstanding fighters like Margarito, Mayorga, Shane Mosley and others.
To be fair, it's not entirely Mayweather's fault. He'll likely get much of the blame, since he's the one who scheduled a different opponent. But much of the blame can be placed squarely in the lap of Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum as well.
Right now, it's obvious that a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is what fans want to see. They're widely considered the two best pound-for-pound boxers on the planet, and every other fight is considered a tuneup match for whenever they meet, which everyone is hoping will happen soon.
Boxing is hurting right now, with very few recognizable names. Pacquiao-Mayweather could provide a huge jolt for a sport that desperately needs it. Instead, both of them are hurting their own reputations and the reputation of the sport by not doing everything it takes to make it happen.
It's not like people have wanted this match for just a couple of months. It has been years in the making. It's time for both of them to put their own insecurities aside and make this fight happen.
Until then, we're stuck with more fights like this, where the real story isn't the fight that's actually happening, but the one that ISN'T happening.

The stories don't hinge on how big it is; the stories hinge on the relationships between the characters. So if they need to go to the island of Tortuga in Pirates Of The Caribbean, then they'll need to. Or if they need to go buy pencils, then they'll do that."
Joel McHale, when asked if Community was going to do more spectacle episodes or keep things small.
Well said indeed, sir. I think the cast should go buy pencils in Tortuga, myself.

1. I'm flying high at the moment because I own Anthony Davis and Kevin Love (a wife favorite because of his last name.) My team consists of 6 stars and 6 borderline plays. That's just the way I like it. If you choose to mimic my strategy, you must pay close attention to your waiver wire, and act quickly. I hope you didn't drop Markieff Morris like I did. I always make one bad mistake per year. It's inevitable. I'm still not over it.
2. If you haven't checked out my Buy Low list or my Sell High group, do so. Some guys are already beginning to blossom, (Gordon Hayward, Thaddeus Young, Kawhi Leonard, Derrick Favors, Serge Ibaka, Kyrie Irving) so you must act promptly. I will try to write about this topic frequently throughout the season. Here are a few more players to consider.
Buy Low Additions – Underperformers as of 11-12-13
Jimmy Butler – He will be in the top 15 inminutes played for the season. He isn't scoring much lately, so his owner might be willing to let him go on the cheap-side. Butler contributes in every category and will finish in the Top 50. Get him while you can.
Marc Gasol – He's picked it up a bit, but he isn't living up to his 1st round status. I'd send a feeler trade out to see where his owner stands. You might be able to pick him up at 2nd or 3rd round value right now.
Bradley Beal – Beal has increased his output as well, but consistency has always been his Achilles heel. His potential is through the roof, and I believe he will be a standard 3rd round pick next year. Test the waters, and try to snag Bradley.
Kemba Walker – Kemba has been a minor disappointment so far. However, Big Al just returned, and it might take him a while to adjust to an actual post presence in Charlotte. Jefferson should take a little scoring pressure off of Kemba, so you have to believe the 38% from the field will increase.
Deron Williams – I tried to convince you not to draft him here. If you listened the first time, listen again. Try to acquire him on sale. His owner will probably be reluctant to let him go after spending a 2nd round pick on him, but you never know. Send a low-ball offer to find out.
Pau Gasol – Pau might never get back to his glory days, but Kobe is on the way. Kobe will help Gasol tremendously, so get him while he's cold.
I'm still working on my major fantasy basketball hypothesis, so remain patient with me.
Stay focused and patient. It is a long season, so the odds say you are not in the Top 4 in your league. Big deal! Keep grinding, and try to progress. If you haven't read The Fantasy Basketball Trading Bible, Chapter 2, and Chapter 3, you must improve your team by trading. It is your only hope. See you Friday.

- Top Ten: Play-off finals
Skysports.com looks back at some of the greatest play-off finals
With this season's play-off finals around the corner, skysports.com has decided to look back and give you our pick of the bunch! What do you make of our top 10? Did we leave any classic games out? Send us your views and your experiences!
Division One 1998 - Charlton 4 Sunderland 4 (aet) Charlton won 7-6 on penalties
The pick of the bunch has to be Charlton's epic 7-6 penalty shoot-out success over Sunderland at Wembley.
Without researching it is difficult to remember who scored Charlton's winning penalty, but it is fair to say everyone remembers Michael Gray unfortunately missing The Black Cats' last spot-kick that put The Addicks in the Premier League.
Niall Quinn's second of the game meant Sunderland were just five minutes from promotion until Richard Rufus sent the game into extra-time.
The North East side regained their lead through Nicky Summerbee, but Clive Mendonca's completed his hat-trick on 103 minutes to send the contest to a dreaded shoot-out.
After some research, it was Shaun Newton who put The Addicks 7-6 up, but they needed Gray's miss to spark scenes of joy from Alan Curbishley's side in the Wembley sun.
Division Two 1988 - Middlesbrough 2 Chelsea 1
The first team promoted to the top-flight via the play-offs was Middlesbrough in 1988 when they defeated Chelsea over two legs.
The old system meant the team finishing in 18th in the top-flight would be involved in the play-offs - which at the time was Chelsea.
In the semi-finals, Chelsea beat Blackburn 6-1 on aggregate, whilst Boro overcame Bradford City 4-1.
Then it was to Ayresome Park for the first leg and Boro shocked their top-flight counterparts with a 2-0 win as Trevor Senior and Bernie Slaven found the net.
In the return leg, Chelsea's Gordon Durie pulled one back for the home side but it was not enough as Bruce Rioch's side held on to seal their second successive promotion - coming just two-years after going bankrupt and being relegated to the Third Division.
1999 - Man City 2 Gillingham 2 (aet) City won 3-1 on penalties
"Come on Blues, we can still win this," screamed an isolated positive voice as all around us dejected fans headed for the exits. It was the 89th minute and City had just conceded goals to Gillingham's Carl Asaba and Robert Taylor. Another season in the third division beckoned.
Just four days after the horror of watching United score two goals in the last minute to win the European Cup, City found themselves in the position of needing to match that feat just to salvage a draw they scarcely deserved.
Yet, remarkably, that one positive voice was right. Kevin Horlock slammed in a shot from 20 yards to vague cheers and a chorus of 'typical city' that could be heard on the Bakerloo Line. Then in the 94th minute the ball dropped kindly to Paul Dickov in the area and his rising shot nicked off a defender and beat Vince Bartram. Bedlam.
Gillingham's players, who had been so looking forward to their first promotion to the second tier that their supporters were already celebrating wildly, were utterly broken.
The penalty shoot-out was a foregone conclusion. The Gills couldn't see Nick Weaver's goal for the tears in their eyes, and even Richard Edghill scored. It was our day, but I'm still not sure how or why.
Division Two 2000 - Gillingham 3 Wigan 2 (aet)
Having spent a year haunted by nightmares of Paul Dickov, Gillingham's return to Wembley offered both players and fans the chance of redemption.
The Gills had gone a lifetime without coming close to the Twin Towers, however suddenly we were treated to two visits in two seasons - and after the heartache of the penalty defeat to Manchester City in 1999, having led 2-0, the club made no mistake against Wigan.
However it was another heart-in-the-mouth encounter. Having taken the lead through Iffy Onoura's scrambled effort, Wigan came back into the game to level through Simon Howarth's delicate chip
That took the game into extra and when Wigan, now down to 10 men after Kevin Sharp was red-carded, were awarded a penalty in the 99th minute, I couldn't even watch as Stuart Barlow fired home.
But two goals in four minutes saw the Gills promoted. First player-coach Steve Butler came off the bench to power home a header from Junior Lewis' cross to level the match.
Then, with little over a minute left, Andy Thomson got his head to Ty Gooden's cross - "Gooden... and it is a good 'un" according to the now famous commentary among the club's fans - to send the Gills towards the Championship for the first time in their history.
2002 - Blues 1 Norwich 1 (aet) Blues won 4-2 on penalties
Birmingham City ended their 16-year wait for a return to the top-flight of English football by beating Norwich City 4-2 on penalties at the Millennium Stadium.
In a non-eventful 90 minutes which saw the game end goalless, the match burst into life two minutes into extra-time when Canaries legend Iwan Roberts powered a header past Nico Vaesen for his 14th goal of the season.
However, as Norwich fans began to visualise trips back to Old Trafford and Anfield, The Blues hit back just 10 minutes later through a scrappy finish from the evergreen Geoff Horsfield.
Despite Michael Johnson hitting a post for Birmingham late on, the match finished level and a dreaded penalty shoot-out was to decide the day's events.
Roberts and Clint Easton were the only players in yellow and green to find the back of the net from 12-yards, and it was midfielder Darren Carter who ensured a long-awaited return to the Premier League for Brum as he smashed past Robert Green to send the second city spectators into ecstasy.
First Division 1993 - Swindon 4 Leicester 3
The 1993 First Division play-off final brought about entertainment like no other, and with both sides going for the win Wembley saw a seven-goal thriller!
Oddly enough the game nearly made it until half-time without a goal with Glenn Hoddle breaking the deadlock on 43 minutes.
The Robins pressed home their advantage with Craig Maskell and Shaun Taylor putting Swindon 3-0 up within nine minutes of the re-start.
Leicester fought back superbly with three goals from Julian Joachim, Steve Walsh and Steve Thompson in an eleven-minute spell levelling the match.
However, in one final twist Swindon breathed a huge sigh of relief when Paul Bodin scored from the penalty spot with five minutes left to break The Foxes' hearts (not literally).
First Division 1995 - Bolton 4 Reading 3
Reading, like so many others, could taste the Premier League before it was cruelly snatched away from their grasp by Bolton Wanderers.
Goals from Lee Nogan and Adrian Williams had The Royals 2-0 up at Wembley before an Owen Coyle effort and Fabian de Freitas goal, with just four minutes left in the game, sent the contest into extra-time.
Mixu Paatelainen and De Freitas added more goals to wrap up the win, although Reading did set up a nervy finish when Jimmy Quinn netted the game's seventh goal of the contest.
Reading's Premier League ambitions were realised 11 seasons later when they claimed the Championship crown under the guidance of Steve Coppell.
First Division 1996 - Leicester City 2 Crystal Palace 1 (aet)
The race for Premier League football continued to provide great entertainment as yet another game went right down to the wire.
Andy Roberts' early goal meant The Eagles led for over an hour at Wembley.
However, it was not to be Palace's day as Garry Parker levelled the contest on 76 minutes after slotting home from the penalty spot.
With both managers contemplating their penalty-shoot line-ups, Leicester snatched the spoils courtesy of Steve Claridge's last gasp strike.
Eagles fans would only have to wait 12 months for play-off revenge when they edged out Sheffield United in heart-breaking fashion.
First Division 1997 Crystal Palace 1 Sheffield United 0
While this game will not be remembered for a goal-fest like so many others, the goal that won the contest will be.
The win was all the sweeter for Palace fans who suffered heartache just one year earlier following a last-gasp defeat to Leicester in extra-time.
After a turgid 90-minute affair and extra-time looming David Hopkin clinched the game with a superb strike with virtually the last kick of the game.
Hopkin, who joined Leeds after guiding Palace into the Premier League, curled a delightful 20-yard effort into the top corner that left Simon Tracey in The Blades' goal clutching at thin air.
Second Division 2001 - Walsall 3 Reading 2 (aet)
The play-offs have not been the kindest of avenues for Reading to win promotion with The Royals suffering yet more agony in 2001.
Don Goodman's effort shortly after half-time cancelled out Jamie Cureton's first-half opener at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Martin Butler restored Reading's advantage just a minute into extra-time, although their celebrations failed to last.
Tony Tougier's own goal coupled with Darren Byfield's strike just two minutes later ensured Walsall celebrated while The Royals suffered.

I know Palace area already up there twice but what about our 2-1 defeat at Sunderland, where Powell scored in the last second to send it to extra time and then we won on penalties?

City V Gillingham best game i have ever been to. Unbelievable when Dickov scored that equaliser. The crowd were absolutely deafening thereafter. I will never forget the chant "you can stick you f'in treble up your a*se" as long as i live!!

I was 11 years old when that game took place, and it was my first trip to Wembley. Anyone guess why i have never been back? I will never forget the moment Michael Gray missed that penalty, but hey, who is the Premier League club now? Thats all that matters!

im now 50 & have been a Charlton fan all my life I now live in australia and belong to the addicks down under when ever we meet or talk via e-mail that wembley playoff finale is brought up all the time, for a middle of the road club that is full of genuine supporters days like that dont come around to often so for it to be one of the gratest spectickles ever in the history of football is something to be proud of. even nuetrals that were there say it was the best that the had seen

Nathan Mclean (Burnley fan) says...
The 1994 Division 2 Play-Off final against Stockport County wasn't a bad game either - quite possibly your 11th choice - if you had one of course!!! As a Burnley fan, and a supporter of the underdog, when Burnley went 1-0 down, I feared the worst. The David Eyres equalised to make it 1-1. The Gary Parkinson was well out of position - he was actually on the edge of the box instead of his usual right-back. However, the ball fell to him, and he cracked it one from about 20 yeards out - right into the corner! 35,000 Burnley fans went absolutely mental, and the 6,000 Stockport fans were silenced! I suppose you had to be there!

Stefan Upton (Charlton Athletic fan) says...
Our game against Sunderland truly was the finest Play-off final. A wonderful day. Our trilogy against Leeds in 86/87 was truly nervewracking, & for sheer drama, would run close(in Charlton history). Sky have omitted one of the other greatest play-off finals, which was the Swindon V Leicester final which Swindon won 4-3. They were 3-0 up before Leicester levelled it up, then Swindon snatched it at the death. That was an excellent game too!
Posted 20:38 23rd May 2008
Stef Upton (Charlton Athletic fan) says...
Indeed 98 was the very best play-off final! A truly wonderful day, & a pleasure to witness the greatest ever game at Wembley(TM) in the flesh. One that Sky have missed though is Swindon beating Leicester 4-3. Swindon were 3-0 up before Leicester pulled it back, only for Swindon to pip 'em at the post. Also, our epic trilogy against Leeds Utd back in '87 wasn't one for people with dubious bowel muscles!
Posted 16:45 23rd May 2008
Chris Knott (Charlton Athletic fan) says...
The 1998 Play-Off final has to be one of the best games ever played on the hallowed two towers turf. It was a fantastic game to watch for all neutrals with Shaun Newton scoring Charltons final penalty before Michael Gray passed the ball to Sasa Ilic. This will live long in the hearts of Charlton fans.
Posted 16:04 23rd May 2008
David Thomson (Charlton Athletic fan) says...
What a game that was! I had a good mate down from Aberdeen who has been a season ticket holder at Pittodrie for 30 years. He still tells me it was the best game he's ever seen. Every Charlton fan who was there will tell you how flat we all were travelling home on the coaches and trains. Everyone was absolutley drained physically and emotionally at the end. I agree re the Sunderland fans - they were a credit to their club and their city.

CharmedMonday, October 1st, 2012
I recently made several domino charms and charm necklaces for Fall and Halloween. Each domino is colored with ink and stamped with an image and then soldered around the edges.
This first one is all about one of my favorite poets Edgar Allan Poe, the round charm is a vintage wooden game piece and there is also a metal ink pen nib.
I love this cool owl image, I added another game piece with the word "who"
This one is a play on the term "skeleton key", dancing skeletons on the domino, a metal key and skull bead
This tiny pumpkin charm also has a little leaf bead on it
and last but not least Ichabod better beware, the headless horseman is riding…..
These are currently available in my Etsy Shop.
For Lenore…..Thursday, August 23rd, 2012
For this collage I used the raven and skull stamp from Inkadinkado on vintage book paper, it's embellished with a binder clip and ink pen nib that's dripping ink. The bottom border is black mesh ribbon, crepe paper and an embossed metal plate that says "nevermore". I tied some hemp string with a hand and heart charm around the plate. I almost didn't want to sell it I love it so much but I've listed it in my Etsy shop
Playing with DominoesThursday, September 8th, 2011
I'm listing some new domino charm jewelry in my Etsy shop this week. And right now I'm working on lots of great new collage art Halloween soldered glass pendants. There are already some in the shop but I'll listing a lot more in the next week or so, so be sure to check back
I love this Poe charm, great for Halloween or anyone who loves to read.
And of course Alice is always one of my faves. In addition to the domino charm there are also wooden game tiles with vintage text.
This one is nice and creepy for Halloween, the headless horseman. "Ichabod……….."
And this cute one has scrabble tiles that spell out "BOO" and a cute ghost shaped jingle bell.
Look it up in the DictionarySunday, August 23rd, 2009
Wow, where has August gone?? I've been so busy and I've really neglected my blog, sorry!
This week I was a soldering fool and made a ton of new pendants, I'll be posting them here and for sale in my Etsy shop ( http://www.PisforPaper.etsy.com ) over the next week or so. I wanted to get a little early start on Halloween so alot of them are for my favorite holiday, Halloween!
I've been continuing to cut up the fabulous vintage dictionary I got awhile ago and here are a few pendants with some of the wonderful illustrations.
This is very Poe inspired, plus I have a thing for ravens and crows. The back includes the definition for "nevermore"
Really pretty owl illustration
and a funny one, a concertina with the words "I heart Polka" added

The BBC Reports razors were used to steal a number of maps dating from the early and mid 17th century from the library's Aberystwyth building.
But a four-month delay in informing dealers of what had been taken may have prevented the maps being recovered, according to the Antiquarian Booksellers Associations.
Detectives at Aberystwyth are trying to trace a man wanted for questioning in connection with the thefts in Wales and abroad.
Peter Joseph Bellwood, 50, is listed on the Metropolitan Police's website as one of the 10 most wanted fugitives in the UK.
Small pictures of Mr. Bellwood included in the story.
Lynn writes "Toronto police are searching for the owner of a collection of extremely rare books that a suave young man was trying to sell in the city.
A man was arrested for possession of property obtained by crime after police were called by a suspicious book dealer, Inspector Ken Kinsman of the downtown 51 Division said yesterday.
Gary Deane sent us this story, straight from the home of the 2003 ALA Annual conference.
Toronto police are searching for the owner of a collection of extremely rare books that a suave young man was trying to sell in the city.
A man was arrested for possession of property obtained by crime after police were called by a suspicious book dealer, Inspector Ken Kinsman of the downtown 51 Division said yesterday.
The major-crime unit became involved because the centuries-old volumes were researched on the Internet and found to be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
The most interesting part of the story may be that the books haven't been reported stolen, as far as the police can tell. There are no library markings on the books, so they most likely are from a private collection.
Gary Deane passed over A Short Blurb from Denver, where Police are looking for two people accused of borrowing $29,000 worth of DVD movies from metro area libraries and selling them at pawn shops.
Deputy Attorney General Ken Lane said in some cases they borrowed 15 to 20 DVDs at a time and kept coming back for more. Lane said there is a lesson libraries can learn from this.
"Library districts might want to take a look at their check out policies for DVD movies or other types of materials that are valuable," said Lane.
Charles Davis writes "To the monks of Mont Saint-Odile, perched high in the Vosges mountains, it seemed like the work of the devil. During nearly two
years of doubt and mystification, 1,100 ancient books disappeared from the monastery library without any trace of a break-in.
Yesterday, in a court in Saverne, Alsace, the mystery reached its conclusion when the thief, Stanislas Gosse, 33, was given a
suspended sentence of 18 months for a burglary that had echoes of Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose and a touch of Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The judge was told of a lost map, a secret passage and a hidden entrance through a cupboard, all finally revealed by routine modern
technology - CCTV cameras.
Story at
The Guardian
Cliff Urr writes \"A short article - could be useful material for a Hollywood movie. From start of article: \"A French university professor who used a secret passage to steal more than 1,000 ancient books from a medieval monastery appeared in court yesterday charged with \'theft involving cunning\'\". NEWS.scotsman.com has the article.\" The professor was finally caught with the help of video surveillance. Paris is a city known for having several secret passages.
zanne writes "School principal, church pastor, and Tasmanian author Philip Weeks believes the Matrix resembles his story, The Protector, which was first published in segments in the 1990s and published as a novel in 2000. Read This and make up your mind.
The NYTimes On a global network of plundering that is rapidly depleting the immense reserves of ancient art and historical data that lie buried in cities that once made up the Babylonian and Sumerian empires.
The looting has been under way on a smaller scale for years, but it has exploded into an orgy of theft in the weeks since American forces toppled the government of Saddam Hussein.
The Guardian Reports Scotland Yard says it is estimated that 4,500 maps, which can be sold for anything up to £10,000, are missing from libraries across Europe.
The thieves are thought to steal to order for collectors across the world - the maps are especially sought after in the US and far east - or dealers who do not ask too many questions. The atlases they are taken from are ruined for ever.
Marv K. writes \"The head of the organization in charge of raising money for the Onondaga County Public Library was arraigned Saturday, accused of stealing a $50,000 painting from the library\'s main branch and selling it at his own garage sale for $200...
Detectives said that sometime in October, Dydyk removed the John Barrow painting \"Ben Porter\" from a vacant library office in the Galleries.
