Best Uses
- Perfect For Alot

I don't write alot of these, lazy or just never found any product that did more than I expected. The Hampton boot is as close to perfect as it gets. Wet weather these shine and dry, just as good. They slip on and off with ease and as far as comfort, better than a sneaker. I know, I wouldn't believe me either but they are. This is not my first pair of Hamptons I just took them for granted, always comfy and always dry. For everyday jobs, gardening, walking the dog or putting the garbage out these boots you'll wish you found sooner.

do not last very long. soles fall off and heel pull breaks off. will last a year but then watch out. mucks are better and cheaper in the long run otherwise a great boot. three pair and same result with all.

Gallery: Beautiful German Pavillion Made From 1300 Shipping Pallets
Architecture students from the University of Biberach assisted with the construction of the pavilion, which measure 6 meters high, 8 meters wide and 18 meters long. The shipping pallets are stacked on top of each other in a curvilinear design, fastened together with tie rods and pulled tight with compression straps. An irregular geometric form is created with an interior cave-like room that welcomes visitors.
The temporary pavilion was used as a meeting place and media room for athletes and press to come to after their competitions. At the time of the skiing competitions, it was obviously winter and the structure was often covered in snow. As the pavilion was constructed of only tie rods, straps and pallets, dismantling and recycling the structure was quite simple after the competition was over. Loeberman used pallets to encourage people to look at the common item in a new light as a building material — back in 2005, this concept was still relatively new for most people.

Do I have the amp's too high when the rod is only two inches left and it is red red hot in color when I pull away, and I mean the whole of the rod. I open the holder, drop the remains of the rod on the floor and it is bright red.
My Dynasty does not make the rod red at 70 amps but the CST 280 does. Digital display on Dynasty but just a nob on the CST 280, so not as precise.
May sound a stupid question but it is very visible.
Thanks for answer in advance.

Shoot, that's how I know my machine is running a good heat. I set it at 90A for 3/32, and it will almost always turn cherry by the time the rod is burnt. Only time it's a problem is if you have to bend your rod, as it will always heat up right at the bend and sometimes falls apart.

7018 rod.
No that is pretty common for 7018 to burn hotter than other rods. You can run 3/32 rod all the way up to about 90 before it would get too hot. In general that rod gets hotter as the rod burns down

No, it shouldn't turn red hot like this. Something is wrong.

Red is good if you get too the end of the rod it should be glowing orange and your slag should be peeling off behind you

Are you talking about the whole stub that turns red? When I use 1/8 7018 the tip of it always glows bright orange for a while. 7018 runs hot, so I imagine if it turns orange with 1/8, 3/32 would light up pretty good.

How can design-driven and vocational education improve our schools and communities? Join our live Q&A on Feb 5th at 3PM
In 2009, author and TED speaker Emily Pilloton moved to Bertie County, North Carolina — the poorest county in the state with a population of just 20,000. There she and her partner Matthew Miller launched Studio H, a design/build program aimed to inspire creativity in high school kids.
Through the eyes of her students, Pilloton tells the story of the group's hopes, failures, triumphs, and the power of design-driven education. According to Pilloton, we can dramatically revamp vocational education and build the change we wish to see in the world. Ultimately her students were given the key to the city by their mayor for initiating, designing, and building three public chicken coops and a 2000-square-foot public farmer's market.

Author and TED Speaker Emily Pilloton will be joining us for a one-hour live conversation on TUESDAY, FEB 5th at 12PM PST/3PM EST. Mark your calendars!
Feb 5 2013: Michelle- YES! I think it goes both ways - design as a process can be integrated into math, science, etc, and we can also do a better job (when I say we, I mean Studio H, design courses, and the arts) of integrating math and science. The STEM-to-STEAM initiatives are starting to look at this critically - that some of the science-driven education we see is actually not so far off from more creative design-driven education. Creativity seems to be the common denominator. I think the creativity it takes to solve a calculus equation is not all that different from the rigor you see in a designer or artist or architect's practice.Feb 5 2013: Hi Emily! Great talk. Vocational education programs are sorely needed, but I'm curious if there are ways to incorporate design into standard educational programs like math, science or (maybe this is a stretch!) even history and English classes?Feb 5 2013: Thank you so much for setting this up. I hope the story of Studio H inspires people - it continues to inspire me. I think we can all invest in youth, and design-based education is just one way to do so. I really see creativity and building as these two secret weapons that light people up, especially young people, and I hope we can all put in the work to make more opportunities available to our youth.Feb 5 2013: Emily, our time is just about up.
Any closing comments?
Thanks so much for joining us, and for writing such an interesting book!Feb 5 2013: That's interesting...so even in places with more money, kids and teens are facing some of the same problems in school. I guess that means that there is some more fundamental problems with American education than just a lack of funding. I think Michelle's question below kinda hints at this...Feb 5 2013: The similarities are actually more shocking than the differences. Their interests may be different (skateboarding vs. hunting, for example), but the things they are dealing with in their lives, their challenges, their brilliance, and their history of school not serving them well enough, has been constant. Each student is different of course, and I have loved getting to know them all as people. The reason it's so tough to standardize Studio H is because we want to always be nimble enough to respond to each student and the dreams and challenges they bring to our class.Feb 5 2013: That's a wonderful project. How is it different teaching liberal kids in Berkeley and the kids in Bertie? Different kinds of challenges, I bet!Feb 5 2013: We have since moved our program to REALM Charter School in Berkeley, CA. We taught two full years in Bertie and a total of 26 graduated from our program. In Berkeley, the heart and soul of Studio H remains the same: we design and build projects that students initiate, based on the context of the place and people. So we may not be building a farmers market, because Berkeley has plenty of those, but one need our students identified at REALM was the shortage of space. We only have 8 classrooms and need 9. So they said "let's build it ourselves." We are in the process of building an 800-square-foot space on school grounds for our school community, because as one student said so eloquently, "the first community we belong to is our school community." We also just finished concrete public furniture, and individual hand-holds for a rock climbing wall. We may take on a skate park and skateboard-building lab next!Feb 5 2013: Tell us what you're doing now, and how did your experience in Bertie influence your current curriculum?Feb 5 2013: A good number of them did enroll in a 2- or 4-year college program, which is awesome. Most of those students are the first in their families to go to college. Kerron is at NC State studying computer engineering. Stevie, who was instrumental in the final design of the farmers market, is also at NC State studying agriculture. Others are employed locally. I still talk to many of them and miss them all. Recently one of my students posted a page of his Studio H sketchbook on Facebook - it was amazing to see where we started, and how far they have come, and how we've all been changed because of the year we spent together.Feb 5 2013: What are some of the students you met in Bertie doing now?Feb 5 2013: Vocational education has historically been, as it name would imply, about vocation. It's about skills that lead to employment. Design is about skills, but also about learning how to think and create. If vocational education is learning carpentry skills so you can build a birdhouse, design-based education (like Studio H) is surveying the local birds, thinking about their habitats, designing a birdhouse that will best accommodate their habitats, learning an array of skills (maybe carpentry, but maybe also welding or 3d-design, CNC and laser-cut fabrication) to build it, and then putting it out into the world for that local bird to use, and for people to learn about it.Feb 5 2013: I know that you consider your program very different from traditional vocational education? How do you differentiate it from "shop class?" I guess what I mean, is what do you think the problems are in this with vocational education or attitudes towards it?Feb 5 2013: Once the end of the school year came around, we were exhausted. But we were ready to build. We hit the construction site ready to go, having thought through all the processes of how we would build things, in what order, which tools we would need, which materials to procure at different times. A lot of design is about foresight.Feb 5 2013: Then we present it publicly. We put everything up in a downtown building and invited everyone to come and give us feedback. From there, the hard work began - putting these beautiful crazy ideas through the filters of real-life construction. The zoning, the ADA codes, the fact that we had only 3 months to build the structure with a construction crew of teenagers and limited budget. We rely on critiques and constant prototyping to arrive at a set of working construction documents that could be approved by the building inspector.Feb 5 2013: From there, we just start purging ideas. The more the better, the crazier the better. We get it all out on the table in sketch models and drawing, and then we sift through it - we co-critique each other. We tear things in half and put them back together with other models.Feb 5 2013: We always begin a design project with a precedent study: in this case, students looked at pavilions that were open-air and in some way inspiring as architectural examples. They had to understand the building inside and out so that they could take away lessons that would inform their own design. For example: structure, circulation, ventilation, siting, vernacular material, etc.Feb 5 2013: The farmer's market was a huge success, right? But ultimately you ran into trouble in Bertie...with out giving away too much of the book's ending, tell us what challenges you faced?Feb 5 2013: Thanks for having this conversation Emily! I'm currently working on bringing a city-as-a-school model to communities around the nation.
I'd love to hear more about how you used resources and opportunities in the community for children to learn from.
In addition, today, schools largely resemble prisons. What are the best design principles to transform schools to more open and accessible?Feb 5 2013: As for the in-class assignment, we provided a design brief once we knew it would be a farmers market - based on local zoning, as well as the desires of the town: x number of square feet, x number of vendor stalls, building above base flood elevation level because we were in a flood zone, certain height and structural requirements in a hurricane zone, budget, timeframe, etc. These constraints dictated the design process.Feb 5 2013: With the farmers market, we first had to identify that the project was a farmers market. That process of research and need-finding came from the students, the mayor, our neighbors, etc. Students had to survey their friends and families, ask questions about the place they call home, and identify things they saw as necessary or that would be transformative for the community. The mayor and town councilmen were crucial parts of that conversation, as they were our strategic partners in building the farmers market and allocating the land to do so.Feb 5 2013: Can you give a more specific example of a project? Like how did this apply the farmer's market project you write about in the book?Feb 5 2013: We did a long-span bridge-building competition that built structural skills, but we also do graphic designs for cornhole boards, or a "who can design the craziest chicken coop" project. I think the element of surprise and spectacle is key - it keeps students thinking, always productively uncomfortable. That process of inquiry is crucial - we are always asking "why" over and over again. Our students got sick of hearing us say, "Why did you do that?" or "Why did you make that decision?"Feb 5 2013: The funny thing is that we aren't great at writing and leading "assignments." We usually have a project that we try to break down into week-long segments, or we just organically roll through it the way my partner Matt and I learned to work in architecture school. The best assignments we have done, though, have both individual and collaborative components, a non-linear process, and always, ALWAYS, a really cool end product.Feb 5 2013: Tell us about some of the assignments that have worked best?Feb 5 2013: I think the word "design" can be intimidating in the first place. It means very little to a 16-year old. And if it does, it's usually something fancy, something out of reach, something esoteric. So I think the accessibility comes first through doing - by putting a new tool in someone's hand and letting them explore with it. Then we get critical and hone those products into something amazing. Design for me is just rigorous creativity coupled with gritty building. We might call it design, but for students, I think it just means having the permission to be creative, and the tools to make things real.Feb 5 2013: Fascinating! What do you think it is about Project H that makes design less intimidating? Maybe you could tell us through an example of a project.Feb 5 2013: And I think for Kerron, too, who wanted to be an engineer but didn't exactly know what that meant, it was a way to better understand his own abilities. And to not have to learn in such a linear way, where you are assigned part of a textbook, you do the assignment, take a test, and get a grade. In Studio H, Kerron built 20 models of a chicken coop and then had to communicate in many different media how his idea came to life and why it was powerful.
Jim Daly
Feb 5 2013: How do you think Studio H will help spark community change in other places? How do you scale this project?Feb 5 2013: Part of that is just the power of design - it is visible and it is difficult. For someone like Kerron, it really lights you up. It gives you the permission and possibility and power to pick up a welder for the first time, fumble through using it the first ten times, and then do something awesome.Feb 5 2013: I saw in Kerron the same kind of curiosity and vulnerability that I feel like I had as a student. He so wanted to learn how to do all these amazing things. And he had this untapped brilliance. I think for a student like Kerron, Studio H was an environment that was safe, and that said to him: "You can fail. You can experiment. You can do whatever you want to do. You can make the things you want to make."Feb 5 2013: You ended up telling the story through one of your students' experience...why did you pick Kerron?Feb 5 2013: Over the next year, we did about 7 other projects with him. Our curriculum, Studio H, emerged out of a desire to expand on our involvement within the classroom. To teach design as a resource and form of capital, rather than something that we were delivering to the school district. We wanted to work with students and give them the design tools to make their own visions real, rather than being merely creative consultants.Feb 5 2013: Hi Rachel!

Thanks for hosting. I made my way to Bertie County on the invitation of a visionary superintendent, Dr. Chip Zullinger. He had originally reached out to Project H to come down to Bertie to build some of our Learning Landscape educational playgrounds. We obliged, and when we arrived, discovered in him a kindred spirit who believed in the value of design within public education.Feb 5 2013: Hello all, and welcome to this live Q&A with author Emily Pilloton
Emily, thank you for joining us!
Your book, Tell Them I Built This: Transforming Schools, Communities, and Lives with Design-Based Education, tells the story of your move to Bertie County to launch Project H, your design-build curriculum. To start off, I want to ask you how you started Project H, and how you found your way to Bertie, one of the poorest counties in the US?Feb 2 2013: Since people vary what works for one may not work for someone else.

Heavy fire damages southeast Fort Wayne home
A heavy fire Thursday morning caused extensive damage to a southeast Fort Wayne house.
Firefighters arrived just before 6:30 a.m. at a home in the 2500 block of Marcy Lane, just southeast of Anthony Boulevard and McKinnie Avenue, where they found heavy flames coming from the rear of the one-story house, the Fort Wayne Fire Department said in a news release.
The blaze was so heavy, it forced fire crews to retreat from the house at one point, according to the news release. Flames also extended into the basement, attic and interior walls. Crews had the fire under control in 16 minutes, the release said.
The person who lived in the house was not at home when the fire started, and no injuries were reported. However, the blaze caused heavy fire, smoke and water damage to the house.
Holiday Cab returns for 25th year
Holiday Cab, the free service for local holiday revelers who need rides home after drinking, will return for its 25th consecutive year.
The program will start Dec. 20 and run 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. daily through January 1. First created in 1987, the service has provided an average of 250 to 300 cab rides each year to Fort Wayne residents who could have been at risk for drunken driving, Mayor Tom Henry's office said in a statement. Last year, the program provided rides to 400 people.
Holiday Cab offers free rides to anyone who lives within a 10-mile radius of downtown. Those who live farther away may still use the service but must pay the difference after 10 miles. The service will only take people home, not to another party, the statement said.
To get a ride from Holiday Cab, residents must call Deluxe Taxi at 426-1301.

Do Black Representations in Visual Culture effect the outcomes of justice?
I believe this question is hard for some Americans to answer. We know that race effects the justice for African Americans but we defend that it doesn't because we see a handful of African Americans that represent a small percentage that are successful. We tend to think because we have seen some positive images in visual cutlure as Nelson Mandela, Obama, Oprah, Kevin Garnet, Ozwald Boateng and others that race doesn't come into play. Then the case of Trayvon Martin is televised and we the visual representation flashed of negative images that in return effect the outcome of the justice not for Zimmerman but for teh vcitime Trayvon Martin. As a filmmaker it is my responsibility to create an image that will promote unity and not guide individuals of making unconscious decisions because of visual images of the past. That is what needs to be improved in the world.
Dec 9 2013: wow!!! it is scary to read you would consider as role models- individuals who have separated themselves from the people and fed the nations crumbs while they ate the best food...
you should firstly consider yourself an american before you call yourself african, unless you were born and raised in africa or lived there- and not in accommodation better than the local; or passing through
after all the editing... how much truth are you telling and which truth is it??? is it your truth(how you see it) or a truth for people to discover as the film plays... or a truth to promote and sell the film(sensalism)
stereotyping and money does change people...
Dec 12 2013: I agree because Wikipedia is not a factual source of data.
Fritzie -
Dec 8 2013: I think people do know that race can affect the justice people receive. But I think there is only benefit in portraying the contributions to the world of people like Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.
- +1
Dec 9 2013: Thanks for your comment Fritz and that is a valid point. I agree we should look at the contributions folks have made to the world...Dec 14 2013: On a very serious note, after living in America for a fair while, I applaud your efforts to at least to try to improve things.
But, Americans have to stop looking at themselves as African-American, Mexican-American etc.
Those stereotypes in the media being used to differentiate people and segregate people, and in some ways give people the excuse to not watch the program as it's "Not for me", ie I'm not part of that group. Rather than bring people together.
Also after living many years too in Africa, it's a bit of an insult to actual Africans, not many American would be or want to even try to cope with living on this continent. Let alone make the effort to learn one f the vast amounts of languages used on this continent.
What your goal should be, is to present, whoever you talk to as a filmmaker - first and foremost them as a human being. Maybe, just maybe the viewer will be able to connect with the humanity of the film.
After all black, white, yellow or whatever, we all share the same emotional experiences, that's what true film making is about exploring them, regardless of color.Dec 11 2013: yes it does. this actually reminds me of the Muckrakers during the progressive movement. I love why you chose to do this.Dec 11 2013: I would suggest documentaries about normal African-American families, working hard, trying to make a better life for their children, not on welfare. These are the people many do not see and need to see. The struggles, both the success and failures, which they go through need to be shown.Dec 10 2013: Here's some info about contemporary issues for African-Americans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_American#Contemporary_issuesDec 9 2013: Is America that black and white? What happens to those who are in between? Ideally, justice is blind and it should not be effected by anything visual. If it is it is more a justice debate, not cultural one.
Can you try creating a film in shadows? Or with as diverse visual representations as possible, like say Peter Brook's Mahabharata.
Dec 10 2013: Pabitra,
You are far enough away to see the forest from the trees. Justices is blind here in the USA... Not to say that she hasn't peeked underneath her blindfold at times. When I was younger there were people who just a generation or two from our civil war. Many people from the losing side... blame the freed slaves and their descendants for their loss of the war. Actually, the war was fought for... you guessed it.... financial reasons. Northern mercantilists and Southern cotton growers were fighting over tariffs. The slavery issues was a populist distraction to give the war more moral credits. Nobody would enlist to fight over other people's money. On the bright side, it did free slaves, on the dark side, it began a slow dissolution of the US Constitution. There are still those who been told racist stories by their elder family members. I am of the opinion, that in another
generation or two, most all of this will have died out. In the mean time, the justice system must not turn a "blind eye" to infractions. This also means, the Justice system must not fall to every cry of racism, There has been that too. Justice must be fair to all... regardless of race, creed, ....
Dec 11 2013: what is justice but an imagined perfection by imperfect people who feel it is their duty to represent it.
Mike Colera
Dec 11 2013: I see it more as all people receive fair and honest evaluation of alleged violations of social norms or requirements. We appoint/elect those imperfect people to make these judgments of justice of these alleged violations of imperfect people.Dec 12 2013: exaclty Thaddea...Dec 9 2013: From my perspective racism is when we consider people as belonging to a different group than the group we belong to. I personally differentiate for a variety of reasons and the more perception of threat a person is the more likely I will categorize them as belonging to a different group. For that reason I am comfortable with babies and the elderly. As a man I find other men usually more threatening than women. However if a man is friendly their differences are immediately erased and my mind begins focusing on our commonality.

My suggestion for you is to cast people into your films without regard to race. Unless the film is specifically about race don't talk about race, if the viewer is watching your film I would suggest it would be preferable if they noticed only those characteristics that you want them to see.
My hopeful message is that I have noticed that among the people that I know the younger they are the less they notice race. I think the racism in our justice system will be solved when the children born today are the judges and police.
Dec 9 2013: Thank you for your comment Vincent, I specialize in documentary so I don't cast on race. I actually seek a story that is underground and highlight that issue or cause. As a media professional I can't help notice that race is underlining issue. My purpose for posting was to get a different audience opinion than what I would if I went to a different community and popsed the se same question. I have posed this question in other platofrms and it is interesting the feedback and comments that have been conveyed. I definitely agree with you that the younger they are the less they notice race. Which shoudl be the norm anyways but as you and I are bth asware leave it media images and we tend to believe what we see...
Dec 10 2013: Nicholle:
I took some time to read your web site. Among the many very good ideas you present I liked your pledge especially the last lines that state, "Know that I am blessed". We are all blessed and we are all deserving – we are called to love the person standing next us even if they are threatening but we cannot love that person unless we first love ourselves.
I appreciate what you do but if I could give one thought for you to consider it would be that "Love and Forgiveness are far more powerful than Justice". I was struck by some of the news stories about Nelson Mandela today. The Love and Forgiveness he showed to his enemies was truly inspirational.
I am personally against race but I am always reminded by other people that race exists. Not much of a fan of nationality either, I like to think of us all as people
Dec 12 2013: I respect your opinion but I see race everyday when officers are arresting innocent Black children at a bust stop on their way to a game. I see racism when I am pulled over because they a saw a black face in a nice car and have no reason for stopping me. I see race when I attended graduate school and folks wouldn't work with me on set because I was BLACK. I see race when innocent people of color are harrased, beat, and killed at the hands of our police or others. When an innocent individuals are sent to prison for over 25 years for a crime they didn't commit, I see race.
I totally agree with you Mandela did forgive and show love. The issue that stands before us is when folks like myself who are liberal are repreatedly dehumanized because of the hue of our skin. I personally have friends of all colors because it is critical to understand as many cultures as you can. It doesn't erase I know that the media will continue to highlight race when presenting their stoires. I am not a racist but I am conscious that it does exist and it does effect the justice system. You can ask Trayvon Martin's parents, ask Stanely Wrice, Betty Tyson, Leonard Peltier and numerous others and I am sure they will agree.Dec 13 2013: The injustice of life hits us all a little differently. I personally have been luckier than most but even I have been treated unfairly for many different reasons. I do not want to minimize the injustice that you or anyone else has been subjected to; my only hope is that the injustices don't define you and that you can accept and be thankful for the circumstances of your life.
The justice system is unfortunately filled with people and people have a nasty habit of treating other people badly. If the justice system were color blind I do not think there would be any less injustice. That being said I think it is important to continue to bring to the light of day the abuse of power that goes on in our Justice system and in our society as a whole.
I will take what you have said and make a special effort to treat the young black men and women around me with kindness.
Thanks for the conversationDec 8 2013: According to the Human Rights Watch, people of color are no more likely to use or sell illegal drugs than whites, but they have higher rate of arrests. African Americans comprise 14 percent of regular drug users but are 37 percent of those arrested for drug offenses. From 1980 to 2007 about one in three of the 25.4 million adults arrested for drugs were African American.Dec 8 2013: what is your evidence that race affects justice for African Americans? Maybe African Americans just commit more crimes?
Dec 9 2013: Thank you for your commnet Greg.
My evidence that race effects justice for African Americans is plentiful in the media.
A classic example of race in today's justice system is the Perry vs. New Hampshire case.
As far as your assumpiton maybe AA's just commit more crimes I'm not going to entertain you today.
Dec 10 2013: Yeah, I read most of the Supreme Court decision on Perry v. New Hampshire after you replied to my comment. It did not seem to involve an issue of race particularly. Where do you see racial bias in this case?
If I look at the incarceration rates for the different races, I do see that a substantially larger percentage of AA's are imprisoned. I guess there are different possible reasons. One possibility might be that they commit more, or more severe, crimes. Another possibility might be that there's some sort of racial bias at work. I guess I can try to research why there is a substantially larger number of AA's in jail or prison. BCB, how do you think I could do the best job of researching this topic, given that I'm not professionally involved in the justice system, I'm not a court worker, or prison worker, or lawyer, or policeman.Dec 8 2013: I am Caucasian. Sure racism exists and you don't have to look hard to find it. I think that justice is something that is delivered to the Blacks by other races who believe themselves superior in some way. There have always been persecutors and Blacks are not the only victims, but I realize that you are addressing that particular group. I am not and have never been a racist. I have friends who are and sometimes if the situation requires it , I challenge them to explain their reasons for their perversion. I have never gotten a worthy answer from any of them Peace brother.
Dec 9 2013: Thank you Helen, for your comment. Good to see you have some conscious thoughts like myself about folks having the idealogy they are superior. You hit it right on the head that is why I posed the question for folks in this arena to sit back and think baout how many images you may have seen of Blacks in the media and were they positive images. As a media professional I wanted to get a different take on this same question I posed on another platform to see what the comments would revela. Thank you for being conscious and sincere.

Wii Sports Experiment, from Digg to book
This is a follow-up to the "Wii Sports Experiment" article I conducted and wrote.
First of all I'd like to thank EVERYONE who has emailed me, it's really great to hear such positive feedback and it's really a nice feeling to hear you've inspired people to not only purchase a Wii, but to use my experiment as a motivator to create their own Wii Workouts.
I'd also like to let everyone know about my plans for "Round 2" of the Wii Sports Experiment, and to share with you all of the press coverage and different opportunities that have arisen.
Also, I tried to follow the "media trail" of my little experiment, so down at the bottom of this page I tried to map out how I went from just simply submitting my Wii Sports Experiment article to Digg.com to ultimately literary representation with a great literary agency on Fifth Avenue in NYC, Sanford J. Greenburger Associates, Inc.
OK, let's jump right into the media coverage, I compiled a list of some of the news agencies that I have been interviewed by. I'm still compiling links to some of these and I'm actually still in the process of giving interviews, so I'll update this section as I get more elements.

I know there's hundreds of other sites, thanks to everyone who covered the story!
I used Traineo.com towards the end of my Wii Sports Experiment (I wish I used them the whole time…) and I was approached by Traineo after they saw that I used their site during my experiment. I was asked to team up with them to create Wii specific training tools on Traineo.com. I loved Traineo as a site and was honored to be asked to help out as much as possible. The Wii Workout and competition section of their site is set to launch this Thursday (Feb. 1st), so make sure to check back here for further info in the coming days. For now, you can still sign-up to Traineo and join the Wii group on there.
Literary Agency
After my story broke on local news, The Philadelphia Inquirer and on TV during the NBC 10 O'clock news I received an email from, Jeremy Katz, who was excited about my project and wanted to develop a book with me.
Jeremy was an editor for 15 years, first at St. Martin's Press, where he published the #1 New York Times Bestseller THE ARTHRITIS CURE. He then joined Putnam, publishing breakout health, fitness, and narrative titles. Katz was recruited by Rodale to lead its nascent Men's Health and Sports Book Group, publishing more than 30 titles a year and helping to define the modern notion of men's publishing. While there, he published two New York Times Bestsellers: PETE ROSE: MY PRISION WITHOUT BARS (#1) and million-copy franchise THE ABS DIET.
Jeremy is now with Sanford. J. Greenburger Associates. Its prestigious reputation, built representing such icons as Kafka and Sartre, provides the foundation for the dynamic and independent spirit of the agency today. With over two dozen New York Times bestsellers in two decades, SJGA provides representation to contemporary authors including Nelson DeMille and Dan Brown.
The Media Trail
It's funny to see your story move through the media circuit. It has taken me from Philadelphia to San Francisco to London to Australia to Singapore. I tried to track how my story moved around, below is a few of the companies that have featured the story and it shows who picked it up next. It's actually still in motion, I hope I can make a new one where it ends with "Nintendo of America"
Have you heard from Nintendo?
Unfortunately, no. But, I have had indirect contact with them. Traineo.com has been in touch with Nintendo's PR team and they are very excited to work with Traineo.com. If you missed it above, I've teamed up with Traineo.com to create a competition / workout area on their site focusing on the Wii. The Wii Sports Experiment is going to be used as their "case study/poster boy".
Do you still keep up the 30 minutes a day?
I've actually been consumed by interviews and work and have not kept up the 30 minutes everyday. I still play fairly often and I just weighed myself last night and I'm one ounce less than my final weight, so I've been maintaining my weight at the very least. I will most likely start a more controlled workout with a real trainer to gather "scientific" data for the book I'm working on (see above).
Inbox, RE: Wii Sports Experiment:
"On behalf of all the blokes around the world, we want to thank you for giving us an excuse to play video games to our wives and girlfriends, cheers" – New Zealand Radio DJ

"Wow! I have seen the commercials on this nintendo and thought it was a new neat and cool idea.

Meaning & Origins
From the abstract noun (via Old French, from Latin gratia), this name occurs occasionally in the 15th century, and by the 1540s was among the most popular girls' names in some parishes. It has always been particularly popular in Scotland and northern England (borne, for example, by Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper's daughter whose heroism in 1838, saving sailors in a storm, caught the popular imagination). In more recent times it was famous as the name of the actress Grace Kelly (1928–82), who became Princess Grace of Monaco. In Ireland it is used as an Anglicized form of Gráinne.

CAMERON PARK, CA - Two months ago, teenager Zachary Pickett was preparing for his junior year at Ponderosa High School. He would be class president and a starter on the water polo team.
However, on Aug. 5, Pickett's plans for the new school year dramatically changed course.
That day, Pickett ended his lifeguard shift at Cameron Park Lake with a quick dip in the water.
"It was 95 degrees that day when he ran into the water," Pickett's father Tod Pickett said. "He dove in, but couldn't see the bottom. It doesn't take much pressure at all to break your neck.
Zach Pickett hit a sandbar he didn't see. The impact broke his C-7 vertebrae. Realizing he couldn't feel his legs, he called his friends for help. Their quick response and the paramedics' actions saved Pickett's life, Tod Pickett said.
The teen was treated at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento where it was determined he was paralyzed from the waist down. He is now recovering in Shriners Hospitals for Children in Sacramentoand missing the first weeks of school.
In the weeks since the accident, his classmates and neighbors called a community meeting and organized three big fundraisers to help his family with medical bills and the transition back home.
"It was like a mini hurricane in that room. I was just amazed at the talents that came together in that room," family friend and fundraiser organizer Dino Pellicano said. "We know this is going to be both a short-term and a long-term journey. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon."
The three fundraisers are:
- On Sept. 6, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., there will be a Spaghetti Feed at Holy Trinity Church.
- On Sept. 16, there will be a Swim-A-Thon hosted by two Olympic swimmers at Cameron Park CSD.
- On Sept. 17, in Folsom at 5 p.m., will be a Chicago Fire Monday Night Football game.
All the events and additional fundraisers can be foundon theZach Pickett Fundraiser Facebook page and ThePickettFence.org
The outpouring of help is humbling to the Pickett family, but the support is most encouraging to an optimistic Zach.
"He's doing great. He's got a great attitude and I'll know he'll get through this," Tod Pickett said.
His son is expected to be released from the hospital on Sept. 21.

WOONSOCKET – Yes, watching smoke billowing from the ceiling of the family business can be a frightening thing, but when fire forced Liberty Market to close last month, no one seemed more annoyed than his customers, says Jamil Sheikh.
Whether they were looking for a quart of milk or a can of soup, "A lot of people were telling me it was too far to go someplace else to get things," says Sheikh.
Located in one of just two census tracts in the state dubbed "food deserts" due to the lack of easily accessible supermarkets, Liberty Market was a mini-oasis for denizens of downtown, many of whom get by without cars.
At last, the convenience store is back in business. The store reopened Monday at 118 Main St., a new location across the street from the site that was damaged by an electrical fire on Dec. 3.
"We're starting all over again," says Sheikh's wife, Sabrina. "We're looking forward to seeing all our old customers again."
Sheikh, who was still tending to last-minute details earlier this week – setting up the deli case and installing the computers for the Rhode Island Lottery, for example – says he was actually quite reluctant to move out of the old store at 99 Main St. It had more than a few drawbacks – including a lack of heat – but Sheikh says he had steady customers and he was afraid he'd lose some if he didn't reopen in a hurry.
"I had regular customers and I was making a living," he says.
But when push came to shove, city officials wouldn't grant an occupancy permit for the building, part of the sprawling Commercial Block that occupies all the addresses from 95 to 117 Main St. Sheikh says officials at City Hall told him the landlord needed to address code violations with the electrical and smoke alarm systems before they would allow the commercial space to be reoccupied after the fire.
Despite the fact that other commercial units on the ground floor are affected by code violations, neither city officials nor the landlord, Stamatos Property Management of Jamaica Plain, Mass., was apparently able to come to terms on the problem.
Stamatos bought the building out of foreclosure in 2011 for a reported $300,000 and promised city officials the company would make improvements to the building, yet there's been little detectable progress at the site, according to Economic Development Director Matthew Wojcik.
"They didn't just make those promises to us, they made them to the people of Woonsocket," he says. "They came to public meetings and talked about their plans for the Commercial Block."
Built in 1902, the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Place, and city officials consider its preservation vital to maintaining the historic flavor of the city's traditional downtown.
While the building still has several residential tenants living in studio apartments on the second floor, Liberty Market is the latest commercial tenant on the ground floor to abandon the site. Five of the 11 street-level storefronts are now vacant.
Ultimately, Sheikh credits his customers with persuading him to jump across the street, despite the significant expense and inconvenience of getting the new quarters spruced up and code-compliant.
Many of them, he says, are down-on-their-luck individuals with few family ties.
For them, he says, Liberty Market wasn't just a convenient place to buy a loaf of bread or carton of milk without getting in a car or on a bus – it was a their social connection to the neighborhood they live in.
There is a need for a place like that on Main Street, says Sheikh, and he's concluded that it's his job – or at least one of them – to provide it.
"A lot of these people, they have no family, they're handicapped, they have no one to talk to," says Sheikh. "They tell me Liberty Market felt like a home to them."

November 15, 2012 is turning out to be a day of action around the world and San Francisco is in sync. With riots in Jordan | Greeks storming German meetings… assaulting diplomat | Mozambique protests over bus fare hikes | Cambodias eviction protesters arrested before Obama visit | dozens of youths protested in front of the Arab League headquarters in Cairo | parts of Europe recuperating after organised labour's biggest Europe-wide challenge to austerity policies since the euro zone debt crisis erupted three years ago, yesterday | Democracy Now reporting about "The Growing Global Movement Against Austerity" | and Occupy launch(ing) 'Rolling Jubilee' debt forgiveness programme, San Francisco is right in step as the all day Occupy the UC Regents and a 5:00pm rally against the recent assault on Gaza at the Israeli Consulate unfold.
UC Regents are in a pickle and tuition hikes are the core of the austerity measures being considered. Interestingly, Peter Taylor – UC's new chief financial – was previously the managing director for public finance at Lehman Bros., before they collapsed in the largest bankruptcy in American history. While at Taylor was at Lehman, the investment firm expanded UC debt and was part of the interest rate swaps that have cost UC more than $23 million. Although the passing of Prop 30 will provide millions of tax dollars to public K-12 and colleges, the influx will not be felt by struggling students in the form of lower tuition, which has increased drastically in recent years. The UC Regents are expected to approve a budget, today, the third day of their meetings on the matter and Occupy UC Regents have been OcCuPyInG the Mission Bay campus all night after their Walkout for Higher Education last Thursday and rally on Tuesday.
In the Financial District, Anonymous has called for a 5:00pm demonstration at the Israeli Consulate at 456 Montgomery St as part of their Emergency Global Actions for Gaza, due to Israel's threatening to hit the internet kill switch on Palestine and for the reported 3000 tons of bombs on Gaza, including 75 tons of depleted Uranium, in the past 22 days. Reportedly, Anonymous is currently defacing and taking off-line several Israeli gov't websites, including http://www.tel-aviv.gov.il/, dannydamon.com, http://falcon-s.co.il/, http://dolevltd.co.il/fuk_isreal.asp, http://securityacademy.com/, http://imi-israel.com & icomputers.co.il , according to some of the tweets and news reports:

We're pretty proud about it too actually.
Around my house we like our tea strong and sweet.
So if you ever have trouble getting your tea just right each and every time, give this a try.
Once water comes to a roiling boil, pour into one gallon pitcher.
Add 3 tea bags and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (you don't need to stir).
Set your kitchen timer (I use my microwave) for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, take out tea bags.
Do not squish tea bags before taking them out, just let them drip for a
If you do that, you're likely to get some tea leaves in your drink.
Add sugar and stir. Add the other ½ gallon of cold water to the pitcher and stir again.
Cool in fridge for several hours.
Also, we like our tea pretty sweet so you can certainly cut down on the sugar if you find it too sweet.
If you are soaking beans overnight and are putting them in a pot to make the next day, add a
small dash of baking soda to your pot before cooking. It keeps beans tasting their best.

ETSU Splits Baseball Doubleheader At Davidson
Sunday, May 05, 2002Davidson, N.C. (May 5, 2002) - East Tennessee State scored six runs in the first two innings to cruise to an 8-3 victory over the host Wildcats in game one of today's Southern Conference baseball doubleheader. In game two Davidson game back with a 3-1 victory over the Bucs at Wildcat Park. Davidson improved to 20-27 and 12-14 in the Southern Conference, while ETSU saw its record go to 18-26 and 11-12 in the league. In the nightcap, the Wildcats got on the board in the third when freshman Sam Navarro opened the frame with a single to center, and fellow freshman Eli Benefield followed with a double to left. But Davidson was able to score just one run when senior Stephen Aldrich grounded to second, plating Navarro. Derrick Wolpert (2-1) allowed just a single and walk while striking out four through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth. Brandon Cross led off the inning with a solo home run to right-center, his fourth home run of the season. The Bucs also banged out three singles and walked in the inning, but a timely double play kept them scoring again. Wildness cost Buc starter Tim Turner (3-4) in the bottom half of the fourth, as he walked four in the frame, including Benefield and Aldrich with the bases loaded. East Tennessee State got lead-off doubles in the fifth and sixth innings - the latter chasing Wolpert from the game, but could not capitalize on either scoring opportunity. Akin earned his second save of the season with two scoreless innings, including the three strikeouts in the ninth. The Bucs peppered Wildcat hurler Mark Wells (5-6) to start the afternoon. Six singles and an error led to four runs in the first, followed by a two-run home run in the second by Matt Traylor for a quick 6-0 ETSU lead. The homer for Traylor was his third of the year. Senior James Marino got the 'Cats on the board in the first with a solo shot to right-center, his fifth of the season. But a solo homer by the Bucs' Michael Giroud, his second, and an unearned run in the sixth gave ETSU an 8-1 advantage. Benefield got two runs back for Davidson in the seventh with his second home run of the year, a two-run shot to left. Three times in the game the Wildcats loaded the bases with two outs, but never could get the clutch hit. Reid Casey (8-4) pitched 8.1 innings to earn the victory. He struggled at times with his control walking six, but he allowed just seven hits and three runs while striking out five. Traylor went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBIs to lead the 12-hit Buccaneer attack. East Tennessee State next plays at home on Tuesday against UNC Asheville at 7 p.m.

It's no surprise that Tea Forté is very popular at showers, weddings, and other elegant events. Each infuser is enclosed in its own decorative, pyramid-shaped mini-carton. The green tea leaf and the rest of the "string" of the infuser bag undulate through the top of the carton beguilingly.
The company offers square "tea trays" that are tea bag holders with square recesses that perfectly hold the square base of the infuser bag. Both the bag and the bag in its carton rest perfectly in the tea tray, so that the individual box and tray can be used as a party favor, with or without a place card, at any number of events.
It is all so perfect that you would not be surprised to hear that Buckingham Palace is surreptitiously alternating the traditional but old-hat British Fortnum & Mason brew with modern glamour from Concord, Massachusetts-based Tea Forte (too bad this is just an amusing conjecture on our part, as Concord is just steps away from Boston Harbor...and we all know what happened there in 1773).
The company's tag line, "The Art of Tea," carries through to the sleek printed gift tins, which can be re-used to safeguard anything from cookies to your collection of greeting cards.
The selection of teas includes:
|Rising like a regal silk sculpture from the tea cup, Tea Forte is one tea bag that can grace the most formal dining table.
If you want to impress your host or hostess, bring a box of these to dinner (bring the large box for a weekend stay). The small box makes a nice stocking stuffer or mini-thank-you; and for someone in bed with a cold or worse, there couldn't be a more charming pick-me-up.

Ipoh, Malaysia: Hot Eating Places
This thread is started from my exchange with Singapore Chowhound Fourseasons in another thread, since he asked for Ipoh eating places.
Here are some of my favourites, for a start -
(1) KONG HENG COFFEESHOP in cnr Jalan Panglima Garang/73 Jalan Pasar (OLD TOWN). This is the favourite eating spot for Ipoh's own Hollywood star, Michelle Yeoh. Even her parents Dato' & Datin Yeoh are regulars there. Four items NOT-TO-BE-MISSED at Kong Heng:
- (IPOH) KAI SEE HOR FUN, flat white rice noodles with really delicious prawn/pork broth. The stock is so rich, there's an orange-coloured oil atop the broth (from the prawn roe). The thin, silky koay-teow rice noodles is perfect - so smooth, which Ipoh people say is due to the use of clear mineral water from Ipoh spring-streams to make the noodles. It comes with toppings of shredded chicken & prawns, and ultra-crunchy taugeh (beansprouts)
- CHINESE-STYLE PORK & PIG INTESTINES SATAY. Heavenly sticks of char-grilled satay
- CHINESE LOH BAK - an assortments of fried minced pork rolls, prawn fritters, tauhu/beancurd, stingray fillets. Simply scrumptious, crisp on the outside, bursting with flavours inside
- POPIAH - thick, rich with bangkwang/turnips, prawns & egg.
Also, if you want some refreshing desserts, try the ICE-KACHANG with COCONUT MILK, sinfully rich. Or pop over to the THEAN CHUN coffeeshop right next to Kong Heng for its CREME CARAMEL dessert. As far as I'm concerned, I have been to those 2 coffeeshops for over 40 years, and all their dishes' tastes haven't changed one iota!
(2) Oneof the most well-known IPOH HOR FUN can be found at RESTAURANT LOU WONG TAUGE AYAM KUETIAU, 49 Jalan Yau Tet Shin. Opens from 5pm to 2am (or 3 am on weekends). Delicious chicken - free-range "woo soh kai". Pork balls & fish balls soup, plus beansprouts in delicious soy/chicken stock sauce are great accompaniments to the silken Ipoh hor fun noodles
(3) CURRY CHICKEN NOODLES from RESTORAN XIN QUAN FANG, 174 Jalan Sultan Iskandar Shah. Open from 7.30am to lunch. You must come for breakfast very early - 9 am onwards is crazy-crowded. Been operating since before World War II. The delicous soupy curry gravy on yellow Hokkien noodles is unbelievable, served with roast pork (siew yoke), char-siew, fresh prawns and beansprouts. To die for!!! So popular, they have opened a branch in Hong Kong.
(4) HAKKA NOODLES from YIN YAU KUI, 153 Jalan Sultan Iskandar. Open from 7.30am until 12.30pm. Egg noodles (mee pok) with very tasty minced pork/fish sauce/soysauce/onion oil topping. Served with an assortment of stuffed beancurd, minced pork balls, fish balls, etc. More than 50 years old - another Ipoh legend.
(5) FAMOUS IPOH WHITE COFFEE can be had from the famous twin rivals SIN YOON LONG, 15A Jalan Bandar Timah and RESTORAN NAM HEONG, 2 Jalan Bandar Timah. Both open from 6/6.30am thereabouts until 6/6.30pm. Both coffeeshop have an assortment of food stalls selling almost every kind of Ipoh street food you can think of, but the star remain their incredibly rich, buttery, mellow coffee - SIMPLY THE BEST coffee you'd have ever tasted in your life. Both serve kaya toasts & other finger foods, but Nam Heong also have a famous fried koay teow stall in front. BE PREPARED TO QUEUE & JOSTLE for a table - they are both very popular with Ipoh office workers & gourmets/gourmands.
I had the best rice dumpling from Guan Kee, Ipoh, but I can't remember the exact address - Cowan Road?
Their Hokkien-style bak-chang has the most perfect glutinous rice texture I've ever had anywhere in the world! The stuffing's delicious, too: well-seasoned, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly, fragrant shiitake mushroom, whole chestnut, moist-centred salted duck's egg-yolk, dried oysters, etc.
In fact, their bak-chang is so popular, they even "exported" them on a daily basis to a coffeeshop in Sea Park, Petaling Jaya (near KL). I usually get my supply from there since it's nearer to Singapore, and the last time I visited Ipoh was 2000.
Hi penang_rojak:
Thanks so much for the valuable guide on Ipoh. I just print it out; hopefully, I will be able to visit Penang/Ipoh on August. I will report back if I do so.
Do you think I will have too much food if I arrive Ipoh at 10-11am, head out to Nam Heong for White Coffee, then Mee Pok at Yin Yua Kui, then head for lunch at Kong Heng Coffee shop for Ipoh hor fun, pork satay and popiah? If I already sampled Ipoh hor fun at Kong Heng, should I still stay over till 5pm for another hor fun at Lou Wong? Is there much difference between Kong Heng vs Lou Wong? Appreciate your reply.
Off-topic: just look at your profile, seem like you tried all the Michelin 3 stars restaurants in Tokyo. The head chef of L'Osier, Bruno Menard, was in Singapore last week to particpate on a gourmet summit at Raffles Hotel.
re: FourSeasons
Fourseason, unless you have an elastic stomach (which I assume you don't), stick to Kong Heng first. You can have a variety of Ipoh specialties in one spot.
Kong Heng's version has an addictive prawn soup & comes in a bowl topped with shredded chicken/prawns, whilst Lou Wong a clearer soup/ or else drier version with light sauce topping, served with a plethora of side-dishes for accompaniments (much like your Lee Tong Kee shop in Singapore)
Off-topic: Yes, I'm a Japanophile & eat out at countless restaurants in Sapporo (my favourite city in the world, best ingredients in Japan), Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, etc. in the past decades. I'm afraid Tokyo's Michelin restaurants are the only Michelin restaurants I've been to which I really liked - Asian taste!
I didn't even think of coming to Singapore for L'osier's demo. Did sommelier Toshifumi Nakamoto come as well? Bruno Menard is very talented, when I first came across him, he's a skinny, spiky-haired lad cooking at La Baie, Osaka. Very lucky guy - got 3-Michelin stars. L'osier's old chef before him, Jacques Borie back in 1980s is MUCH, MUCH better-lah! L'osier first opened in 1973, I tried it for the first time in 1976 (oops, betraying my age) on business trip.
Now, I eat high-class food in Japan, but will stick to Penang hawker food otherwise (BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD).
re: penang_rojak
Hi penang_rojak:
No, I don't have elastic stomach, but the idea is to share the mee pok with my wife and kids, so that there is still enough room for Kong Heng. But I will just take your advise, go straight to Kong Heng for lunch. But do you think I should stay behind for early dinner at Lou Wong, after all, if they are the different style of Ipoh hor fun?
Yes, me too, another Japanophile but my focus is Tokyo scene. I have tried both Koju and Quintessence, and of course, sampled Bruno's dishes at Raffles Culinary Academy last week in Singapore. He is good, surprisingly, a charming and charismatic chef when he was conducting a cooking class here. I don't think the sommelier was here but Bruno brought 3 assistant chefs along as well. Cooked onsen tamago and Mt. Fuji trout as the main dish. Regarding Michelin, there are many 2 stars, 1 star and actually non-stars that are as good as 3 stars ..... Maybe you should check out and participate on the Japan Board, I was active there too.
Penang hawker food as "BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD"...you surely are raising my expectation. Hometown bias??? I actually crown Tokyo and Hong Kong as the best...well,maybe until I visit Penang, i will let you know.
re: FourSeasons
HAR-HAR - most DEFINITELY hometown bias, fourseasons. When we say Penang hawker food is best in the world, it's definitely to show we LOVE our local food. Penang has many, many food writers and food bloggers. We sometimes have Penang food bloggers' meet, where participants share their experiences chowhounding around the streets and markets of Penang.
Sometimes, we go to search out the best in neighbouring towns like Butterworth (Penang mainland part), Taiping (Perak), Sitiawan (Perak), Kampar (Perak), Bidor (Perak), Kulim (Kedah) and other towns in Malaysia, all the way down to Ipoh, KL, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, etc.
Between you & me, I think HK food sucks. Sorry-lah - we cannot eat without our sambal belachan, cut chillis, etc. HK food got no taste to our Penang tastebuds!! HK wonton mee, for example, only prawn wonton & yellow chives - Penang & KL wonton mee is chockful of char-siew, sometimes deep-fried wontons, shredded chicken, and luscious dark soysauce/chicken stock gravy. Every time Penang people go to HK, we dread our stay!! Bland food for weeks on end can be a torture to us. Then, HK people have double-standards - take Yung Kee, they claim they serve "better quality goose" at members-only Yung Club. Aiyah, if any restaurant try to do that in Penang, NO BUSINESS, man - would I want to eat at a restaurant that serves INFERIOR goose to non-members (like me), and SUPERIOR goose to high-spending members?! Ingat saya buat bodoh-kah (think I'm so silly)?
Tokyo, now that's a different story. Every little alleyway, you find tiny restaurants where husband-and-wife couple prepare choice meals with meticulous attention to detail, and with the freshest ingredients they can find. Japanese people are like Penang people - food and good cooking is very important. Thanks for telling me about Japan Board, but think it's already full of Tokyo-based chowhounds. I know maybe 800-1,000 Japanese restaurants, but don't live there. Let the Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto/ etc residents write about Japan. Most of them probably gaijin anyway. My Japanese glutton friends & relatives (got uncle live in Sapporo for 35 years, Japanese wife & grown-up kids) ALL never heard of Chowhound. They only look at Japanese food blogs, then bring me out!
Let me knowif you need more Penang/Ipoh food tips - I'm just one of dozens of Penang chowhounds (not Chowhound board members) around.
re: penang_rojak
Hi penang_rojak:
Surprise someone who is addicted to sambal belachan and Maggi sweet chilli sauce will like Japanese food, I mean, after all it is very light natural flavor with very fresh ingredient and maybe considered bland for spice-loving foodies. No, unfortunately, Japan Board has few Tokyo-based, just like our Greater Asia Board has few Singapore-based, Malaysia-based chowhounders, It is time to build it up since this website begins as an American-centric one. And yes, most are gaijins. You got that point correct. After all, this is English speakers-based site too. You may want to check out tabelog.com if you can read Japanese, or simply browse through the available photos there.
I think I will forgo the Dim Sum at Ipoh; after all, the focus is on Ipoh hor fun. I think you have contributed enough tips for Penang/Ipoh, thanks again so much. I may just ask for more details when I am ready for that trip!
re: FourSeasons
Oh no - we Penangites don't mind Japanese food because we regard it as "foreign" enough not to compare it to our incomparable Penang food. That's why there are more good Japanese restaurants in Penang (Kampachi, Kirishima, Miraku, etc) than good Cantonese/Shanghainese/Teochew restaurants in Penang put together. Of course, Japanese food traditions are totally different from Penang (i.e. light tasting, raw sashimi, etc.) but it's those very reasons which make steak/meat/potato-loving Americans go crazy over Japanese sushi/sashimi as well!
And my Japanese realtives and non-Chinese-speaking Sino-Japanese cousins LOVE Penang popiah (the "wet" sort which you get from Padand Brown), Penang fried koay teow & oh-chian (oyster omelette), pig's intestines porridge (chee cheong chook) and Penang sar hor fun & yee-fu mee as much as we love Japanese sashimi, tonkatsu, kaiseki meals, etc.
But HK-Cantonese food - that we regard as a variation of Chinese food, which we end up comparing with our local food. That's why upmarket Cantonese restaurants have always struggled to keep afloat (e.g. Shang Court in Rasa Sayang Hotel and the Chinese restaurant in former Sheraton Hotel closed down, Shang Palace in Traders Hotel re-branded, Evergreen Laurel Hotel's restaurant has downsized its offerings). Old faithfuls like May Garden, Starview, Corner Club, CRC, etc, don't approach the standards of the Cantonese restaurants in KL at all.
re: penang_rojak
Hi penang_rojak:
This is off-topic again, you may want to try non-Cantonese food in Hong Kong as well, like Chiu Chow etc that you won't feel it is a variation of Ipoh/Penang version of Cantonese/Hokkien food. I always bring my spice-loving friends to this Si chuan private kitchen Da Ping Huo which most will give thumbs up. You definitely don't need belachan there!!!
re: FourSeasons
Thanks, 4seasons, we'll try Da Ping Huo the next trip to HK, maybe end of this year. For Chiuchow/Teochew food, we also have a few restaurants in Penang:- Goh Huat Seng in 59-A Kimberley St (or Swatow Kay) Tel: 04-261 5811/5646. Lunch: 12 noon to 3pm, Dinner: 6pm to 9.30pm (Closed on alternate Mondays) which has been around for 50 years or so, and Goh Teow Kee (very popular, but in Bayan Lepas).
Penang has 7 Teochew sub-dialect groups living here, compared to only 5 Teochew sub-dialect groups in Singapore. If you go to Ayer Itam market, you can find the spiral, twisted Teochew tauhu which you can't find in Singapore.
re: penang_rojak
"Between you & me, I think HK food sucks. Sorry-lah - we cannot eat without our sambal belachan, cut chillis, etc. HK food got no taste to our Penang tastebuds!! "
LOL! That's the most honest statement I've heard in a while! I like HK food for its subtlety, gotten used to their clean Cantonese tastes though years of living there.
But I remembered HK trip back in 1990 with 2 colleagues - we were all Singapore Airlines accountants & all 3 of us are Peranakan-Singaporeans who liked spicy food. That "spice-less" stay was the longest 3 weeks of our lives, eventhough we did enjoy Yung Kee, Yucca du Lac, Peking Garden, Hunan Garden, etc. But what we'd give to have a bottle of sambal oelek when having noodles at Cafe de Corral or Maxim's in the mornings!!
re: FourSeasons
PS - yes, do stay for dinner at Lou Wong if you want to try another type of Ipoh hor fun preparation.
PS2 - by the way, an Ipoh chowhound just told me that Yin Yau Kui Hakka noodle shop just moved across the road to Paris coffeeshop. It's still there (phew!).
Ipoh has many hawker centres that do night business, just as their coffeeshops only do day-time business.
By the way, the most famous dim sum restaurant in Ipoh is Foh San at 2, Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar (formerly Jalan Osborne). You can ask ANYONE in Ipoh, and they can point out the place to you. It is very near the famous hor fun restaurants like Lou Wong and Onn Kee Bean Sprout Chicken Restaurant. Must go before 1pm. Um, I have to admit here that when it comes to dim sum, Hong Kong is KING-lah. No one can match Lei Garden, Lung King Heen (my daughter & son-in-law LOOOOVE it the last time we tried in December 2008), Fu Sing, etc. For me & my wife, lucky we bring Maggi sweet chilli sauce, otherewise cannot eat-lah!
Finally made it to Kong Heng in Ipoh Old Town! Boy, we were there at 9am last Saturday and there were hordes of hungry diners there already. There's no queuing system in Ipoh - you simply stand around & pounce on the nearest table vacated by satiated customers. Then, you place your order with the stalls, all of whom I hear have been there for yonks & insanely popular for the last half century of more.
We had, as recommended by Ipoh foodies:
- Ipoh sar hor fun: thin, flat rice noodles in a tasty pork-prawn broth, topped with chives, and slivers of prawns & chicken. Delicious! No beansprouts though.
- Popiah. The deft Hainanese woman who sells these scrumptious spring rolls have been rolling the crepes since Nixon was president. Her spring rolls come either deep-fried (crisp golden brown rolls) or non-deep-fried & served slathered with hoi sin sauce on top - which I liked better.
- the Hainanese satay which I thought was incredible - skewers of either very well-marinated pork cubes, or pork liver, or pork intestines/guts, all served with a very favorsome spicy-chunky-peanut dipping sauce.
- Lorbak, which is a selection of tasty, ultra-crisp deep-fried morsels: minced pork in beansheet rolls, prawn fritters, tofu, Taiwanese sausages, with a spicy chilli dip. Extremely addictive.
The "white coffee" (pak ka fe) served at Kong Heng is rich & thick. You can also order the iced coffee - very Malaysian, and very, very good!

re: debbieann
just back from RESTAURANT LOU WONG TAUGE AYAM KUETIAU, and WOW! it was perfect, I had no idea bean sprouts could taste so good. It was so surprising to me. The noodles were so silky smooth and tender. We went a little early, maybe 7 pm, and it wasn't too hard to get a table. There were lots of people eating. We had the bean sprouts, the chicken and the bowls of hor fun. The whole dinner was delicious. and very reasonable. the beer and salty lime drink were more than the dinner. There was a van/truck selling some pastries, bought a bag of those, not sure what they are. Walked through a night market that was starting to set up selling jeans, sunglasses etc.
Trying to decide betw Sin Yoon and Nam Heong and Kong Heng. Also trying to think about setting an alarm for 6 am.
- The original comment has been removed
For Ipoh, the 2 best coffee purveyors are Nam Heong and Sin Yoon Long. I think they also produce ready-to-drink coffee in sachets widely sold throughout Malaysia and Singapore.
re: klyeoh
Had my caffeine fix at Nam Heong this morning - happy to report that it's as good as ever :-D

I hardly ever make comments, but this recipe has inspired me! I tried using flax meal instead of the ground oats and the texture is most delightful. I also used 1/2 cup butter instead of the butter oil mix, well, because I like butter :) I thought they were definitely sweet enough - I might even use a little less sugar next time. Seriously though, I think these are the best choco-chip cookies I've ever made! yum....

EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.

Good stuff! I substituted the oil with apple sauce and subbed the oats with milled flax (mostly because I was too lazy to ground up the oats) and it still turned out great! It's so nice to eat cookies that doesn't leave an oily film on your hand and a ton of guilt on your conscience...esp when you're dieting. Even my kids and husband approve. Thanks for the recipe!
I tried this recipe with a few changes. Instead of the oats I use almond meal, I use olive oil instead of canola and use 2/3 cup Splenda brown sugar blend. I bake them for about 11-13 minutes. Everyone who has tried my version have absolutely loved them. They disappear quite fast. I love these so much better than any store bought brand, including the refrigerated dough kind. They do come out cripsy, so if you are a chewy fan, you may want to pass.
These are wonderful cookies. At first taste, I thought they weren't sweet enough. But they grew on me quickly. I only wish they were less crispy--I like chewy ccc's. But I would definitely make again.
What a great alternative! I substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil & used 63% dark chocolate chips & baked about 11-12 minutes. I can't wait to experiment adding nuts, wheat bran & other flavors!
