It's a rare occurrence that I completely write off a restaurant for atrocious service. And Bincho takes the distinction for that. It was such a waste, as I'd high hopes for the Loh Lik Peng restaurant. I mean, that guy's got good taste in food man. Too bad the chef at Bincho is ridiculous.
So...as per usual request of all my meals, I asked the kitchen to hold off any parsley/cilantro/coriander leaves/spring onions in all of our orders. At that point in time, there was no indication that such request would be an issue for the kitchen.
But, as I take photos of the squid that arrived first on the table, the waitress comes over and relays, very contritely, that the chef says "no photos" of the food because "you said no parsley".
I'm incredulous. How does it make any sense?!
If the chef was displeased at my picky palate, that I don't eat those herbs, then tell me straight off the bat, and I would have left to go eat somewhere else. It wasn't as if I asked for the kitchen to have the raw fish on my sashimi platter fried instead.
Or, if the chef was afraid that the food wouldn't look pretty because there's no garnish of parsley/cilantro/coriander leaves/spring onions, then he's willfully blind, because the dishes actually looked beautiful. To have pinned so much value on the visual splendour of those herbs??! Seriously. Get a grip.
Or, if the lack of those herbs compromised the integrity of the dish, whether in respect of the taste or the appearance, then don't serve a rendition without those herbs at all. But he served the no-parsley/cilantro/coriander leaves/spring onions version, and I ate that very version. It is what it is, right? Irrespective of any photos taken, I would only have been able to talk about the dishes, sans those herbs, that I actually ate.
In any case, I believe that a request to hold off all parsley/cilantro/coriander leaves/spring onions is perfectly reasonable, and not at all uncommon. Half the people I know hate hate hate those herbs. I'm violently adverse to them, and am unable to keep down any food containing any of these herbs. Also, I can't see how such a request would be disrespectful to the chef in any way. I've made such requests to every restaurant I've been to, around the world, and even in Michelin-starred restaurants in Japan where the chefs are renowned to be finicky and take utmost pride in their craft, with absolutely no issue. It's not as if I brought my own bottle of sambal belachan, smeared it all over my food, and then took a picture of it. And I've never before, been told "no photos" just because my dishes have no parsley/cilantro/coriander leaves/spring onions. I'm baffled.
If Bincho had a clear-cut policy across the board, that no photos be allowed in the restaurant, (like Buko Nero along Tanjong Pagar Road which explains that some of their customers had previously taken photos of their half-eaten dishes and posted them up, which is gross), I would understand and comply. But this wasn't the case. It was an arbitrary rule that was only imposed because I requested that all parsley/cilantro/coriander leaves/spring onions be held off all dishes.
All I can surmise is that the chef is insecure yet arrogant, overly sensitive about his precious food, and sees himself as an artist. Such ego is not unexpected if it was a 3-Michelin starred chef who's extremely prolific and celebrated. But the chef at Bincho is NOT. And like most people who fancy themselves artists, his over-inflated ego is entirely misguided.
It's such a pity, as Bincho's food was actually good, even with a couple of misses. But it's certainly not good enough for me to bear such megalomaniac attitude.
For the record, I still took photos anyway. There are no laws against taking photos of food in a public space. I took them surreptitiously, on my iPhone, which photos suck compared to those taken on my Sony Cybershot RX100 IV. So, because of the chef's demand that "no photos" because "no parsley", I ended up taking photos which look significantly worse than if I had taken them on my camera. Ironic, that in the chef's attempt to prevent "less-than-amazing" photos of his food being taken, I ended up with posting up photos which look worse off.
It didn't help that the bar section of the restaurant was overwhelming with the stench of the drain, which is immediately evident from the moment you step into the restaurant. I couldn't smell the awful stench from where I was seated, at the back of the small dining hall, but that wretched stench was unappetizing, to say the least.
The only nice photo of dinner was the middling Grilled Squid ($28), which ginger ponzu dip overwhelmed the delicate seafood. The spiced mayo was a much better accompaniment, but I wasn't too keen on mayo.
Another lackluster dish, the Grilled Australian Wagyu with Asparagus ($62) was overpriced and stodgy. That said, I liked the black pepper sauce, it livened and distracted from the flat taste of the meat.
The Grilled Sakura Cabbage ($20), slathered with a creamy anchovy sauce and sprinkled with lashings of crispy sakura shrimp, was excellent. Wonderful balance of flavours and textures.
The Kurobuta & Black Garlic ($30) was a mixed bag, the black garlic and golden garlic confit was fantastic, full of umami and toasty buttery accents, but the pork was a smidge too full-bodied for my liking.
A superb recommendation by the waitress, the Bincho Style Grilled Octopus ($45), sided by a capsicum sauce, was perfectly cooked and delicious on its own. Even better was the potato coins, they must have been fried in some kind of awesome animal fat. So so good!!
The Grilled Chicken Breast with Truffle ($28) was indulgent and luscious and insanely yummy. I'm thinking the breast meat must have been given the brining treatment. A must-try at Bincho.
The Chicken Thigh Yakitori ($15) paired with a trio of mustard, wholegrain, horseradish, and Japanese pepper, was succulent and juicy.
The Tsukune & Egg Yolk ($18) was beautifully smoky and flavoursome.
Bincho's facade, where you enter from the back of the shop space. The Hubs pointed out that it was little wonder that the entryway smelled so bad - what would you expect if you entered through the backside of anything, right?

Hailing from the historic region and internationally renowned culinary destination of Spain, Chef Jordi Servalls Bonilla is a native Catalan. With over 15 years of international culinary experience in some of the world's most legendary, Michelin-starred kitchens from Catalonia, Dubai and Beijing, Chef Jordi is a rare breed of culinary talent. He is a purveyor of creative fine dining cuisine, from classic to contemporary style.
"I have deep roots and a great respect for the original taste of products; I am devoted to enhancing the authentic taste from pure flavors," says Chef Jordi on his own style and techniques.
Tracing back through his culinary journey, Chef Jordi was Executive Sous Chef for four years at The Harbour Emirates Dubai Marina Hotel in charge of Restaurant Observatory, renowned for its avant garde cuisine, alongside the Mediterranean flavors of Restaurant Azur. He also spent two years at Shangri-La's Barr Al Jissah Resort & Spa, introducing his low temperature cooking techniques, sosa gastronomic ingredients and the texturas El Bulli (a range of products from celebrated Michelin-starred Chef Ferran Adria and his brother Albert Adria). During his tenure, Chef Jordi infused molecular gastronomy in the hotel's Restaurant Capri Court, interpreting Mediterranean Haute Cuisine as a creative, molecular gastronomic journey that stood out in the Middle East.
Chef Jordi's skills also extend to other aspects of gastronomic fine dining. Infusing his own distinctively progressive culinary techniques from his Catalan roots and diverse culinary experiences spanning West to East, Chef Jordi twists traditional meat, pasta and seafood dishes into gastronomic masterpieces.
Most notable in Chef Jordi's culinary career is his work experience in some of the world's most celebrated Michelin-starred restaurants in Spain. From 1997 to 2001, the list includes a stint at the 3-starred Michelin restaurant El Bulli, the 2-Michelin Starred La Cuina De Can Pipes, and the 1-starred Michelin restaurants of La Cup Iula De Vila-Sacra, El Rusc La Massana and Llucanes. Chef Jordi holds this period as being central to his food philosophy – a time of unsurpassed creativity that has helped form his innovative ideas and develop his own culinary techniques.

Sequels for successful movies are as predictable as the coming of Spring after Winter, and the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has decided to get a jump on things and get some help from fans to determine what the sequel to the upcoming movie Snakes on a Plane should be.
With the launch of the "Blanks on a Blank" filmmaking challenge, they are assigning random animals to random modes of transportation, and asking fans to submit original films based on that title. Submissions must be in by today, so if you're just finding out about this now, warm up that video camera and call in sick to work, because you've got some work to do!
First prize is 2 tickets to the premiere of Snakes on a Plane in Los Angeles, including 2 round trip airfares from any major airport in the continental United States and hotel accomodations for 1 night. Second prize is $500 and third is $250, so they're not kidding around with this contest and wasting everyone's time for no good reason but to waste some time.
You can view the submissions on the web site and they're going to have a special screening of all of the best and highest rated movies from the competition at 10pm on Thursday, August 17th, before leading into a midnight sneak screening of the actual SNAKES ON A PLANE at the Alamo South Lamar. They'll also have a couple of special Austin-only screenings at the Downtown Alamo where the efforts of local competitors can be seen, with a special award ceremony for the Best of Austin.
My personal favorite is "Pigs on a Segway," but the top vote-getter so far is "Fish on a Popemobile." Make your vote count or just wonder at the amount of free time some people have, it's a fun diversion and kudos to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema for being creative!

After a long hiatus, I've decided to return to the cave in order to have a place to publish my little font making and hacking endeavors. I've stopped playing with fonts for several years now, but I still keep my backups around.
The serious stuff, if there is any serious stuff I would like to write about, would be at a different place where I clamor in the desert. Yes, no-one listens these days. Eveybody shouts to each other and the more debased they are, the louder they appear to be.

Olympic National Park has often been referred to as three great parks rolled into one because of its rugged mountainous core, scenic ocean strip and lush temperate rain forests. In addition to the rich history of the park, the temperate rain forests are the treasures for which the park has been recognized internationally by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site.
Three temperate rain forests are within the boundaries of Olympic National Park. They are the Quinault Rainforest, the Queets Rainforest and the Hoh Rainforest. The Olympic National Forest. shares custodial duties with the park over some areas of the rainforest, especially around Lake Quinault.
How To Make a Temperate Rainforest: Take a mild coastal climate, which rarely freezes in winter or goes above 80 degrees in summer, add a good dose of rain say 12 feet or so a year, add some summer fog and you have the ingredients for a temperate rain forest.
The tree which is most closely associated with the temperate rain forest of North America is the Sitka spruce. It grows in a narrow band along the coast and up western-facing river valleys from southeastern Alaska to southern Oregon, where it blends into redwood forest. Indeed, some use the terms Sitka spruce forest and temperate rain forest interchangeably.
Click to visit Record Trees on Olympic Peninsula.
However, when most people speak of the temperate rain forest in North America, they are usually thinking of those found in the western-facing valleys of the Olympic Peninsula.
A temperate rain forest is recognized by the following hallmarks when found in combination:
People often wonder if the mosses and lichens hanging from the limbs of big leaf maples, vine maple and other trees harm these trees. The answer is no, except for an occasional breaking of limbs from tremendous weight. In fact, these trees often send special roots out from the branch crotches into the mats of mosses and lichens and tap nutrients found there.
A temperate rain forest is more than a collection of trees, mosses and other plants. Woven into the fabric is a population of animals, including the Roosevelt elk, after whom the park was almost named. Birds such as the varied thrush, western robin, winter wren, pileated woodpecker, gray jay, junco and raven add texture to the fabric of the temperate rain forest. Mammals such as black-tailed deer, cougar, black bear, river otter, Douglas squirrel, jumping mouse and shrew dwell there. So do insects, reptiles and amphibians. There are no rain forests in the eastern Olympics. Indicator tree species for the "dry" (100") side are western pine and madrone. Big leaf maples are replaced by vine maples.
How do temperate rain forests compare with tropical rain forests? Both are the result of a great deal of rain. In tropical rain forests, the rain tends to be more evenly distributed throughout the year, although there are still "dry" and "wet" seasons. In fact, there may be two of each during the year. Rain frequently falls as strong shower bursts. In temperate rain forests, there tends to be one long wet season and a fairly dry summer where fog provides the necessary moisture.
Average temperatures in a tropical rain forest are warmer and tend to vary less during the year, as do day and nighttime differences.
Tropical rain forests tend to look like the "typical jungle" with a profusion of vines and climbing plants, such as strangler figs.
The most common trees are broad leaf evergreens; in a temperate rain forest the most common trees are evergreen conifers, such as Sitka spruce, western hemlock, western red cedar and Douglas fir. The broad leaf trees associated with temperate rain forests, such as bigleaf maple, vine maple, alder and black cottonwood are deciduous, not evergreen. Whereas palms, bamboos, tree ferns and similar plants grow in tropical rain forests, they are absent on the Olympic Peninsula.
There is a greater variety of plants and animals in tropical rain forests than in temperate rain forests, although surprisingly the latter may support more living material. This is because temperate rain forest trees tend to be taller and bigger around than their tropical counterparts, although the tropical trees often have large swollen bases called flying buttresses.
Much more animal life occurs in the canopy of tropical rain forests than in temperate rain forests, i.e., a host of monkeys, birds, snakes and other creatures dwell there, some of which are brightly colored, some of which have loud, piercing voices and some which are poisonous.
Most of the animal life in a temperate rain forest are ground dwelling, and Olympic National Park contains no poisonous snakes. Temperate rain forests are much gentler places on the whole.
Tropical rain forests are much more vulnerable than temperate rain forests. Once destroyed, they require a much longer time for their complex interdependent structures to rebuild. The torrential rains which rapidly leach the soils are probably also a key factor.
The staff of Olympic National Park hopes you will have many opportunities to explore and enjoy the temperate rain forests and other special places which together form Olympic National Park.
A number of Native American tribes live around Olympic National Park. These include the Hoh, the Makah, the Quinault and the Quileute.

How to find out exact library package name in Linux
Finding library package name is one of task that is cumbersome for the developer who has just started developing application for the Linux based operating system. why we need exact package name of installed library? The answer is very simple. An application most of the times needs dependent library, to be built. To build application the application source code needs to be linked with the dependent library. Here we are going to learn "using pkg-config command line tool for finding exact installed library's package name", thereafter we will learn how to link a library with an application source code using pkg-config tool.
To find exact name we should know at least some initial string of the library. For example to build a GUI application based on GTK+ library , gtk is initial string. To find out exact name of gtk library run following command on Linux terminal "pkg-config –list-all | grep gtk".
After running "pkg-config –list-all | grep gtk" some outputs will be displayed on terminal screen, the list displayed would be such that left side is name of library and along the right side a simple description of the library. In the above figure shown we can see that gtk+-3.0 and gtk+-2.0 is the exact package name of gtk library. These are two different versions of gtk library installed in the system.
Using Pkg-config tool for compiling and linking program

Liberal frontbencher Mitch Fifield admits that Australia has a "shared responsibility" for the asylum seekers and refugees at Nauru detention centre in ABC show Q&A, Monday, August 22.
Fifield was responding to Tracey Donehue, a former teacher at Nauru Regional Processing Centre who asked about the responsibility of the Australian Government for asylum seekers, as witness accounts – including hers – of detainees' mistreatments continue to be ignored.
What responsibility does the Australian Govt have for asylum seekers on Nauru? @SenatorFifield responds #QandA https://t.co/Ue7pcivqAz
— ABC Q&A (@QandA) August 22, 2016
Fifield suggested that the Federal Government has a responsibility to investigate incidents of abuse and assault on Nauru. "There wouldn't be incident reports filed if they weren't for the purpose of being investigated," said Fifield.
Last month, government files leak revealed a wide range of abuse allegations, including assaults, sexual abuse, child abuse and poor living condition in the detention camp.
Liberal frontbencher and Immigration minister Peter Dutton said while the case would be investigated by Nauruan authorities, "some people do have a motivation to make a false complaint".
"I have been made aware of some incidents that have reported false allegations of sexual assault because in the end, people have paid money to people smugglers and they want to come to our country," Dutton told 2GB Radio.
"Some people have even gone to the extent of self-harming and people have self-immolated in an effort to get to Australia. Certainly, some have made false allegations."
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the government will assess the information, while former immigration minister and current treasurer Scott Morrison claim the files should not be taken as fact. "It's important to stress that incident reports of themselves aren't a reporting of fact, they are reporting that an allegation has been made of a particular action," Morrison said.

From a short interview with Lukas Bauer translated and published by the FIS:
Q: How did you survive summer with your health?4.5 kilometers, 100 meters at a time. Nice.
LB: I stayed healthy the whole summer. Only during the last week on our camp in Obertiliach I pulled my thigh muscle. I ran forty-five 100 m sprints and still feel uncomfortable. I will have it checked by a physiotherapist
On related note, only 5 months and 10 days until the 2011 World Ski Championships at the Holmenkollen!

Trying To Understand The Progressive Agenda/
Many on the Left are excited by our new Mayor Bill de Blasio. Yesterday in his first budget presentation as mayor he emphasized once again that he intends to govern as a "progressive." Here is Brent Budowsky in The Hill yesterday channeling the excitement:
[T]he left is lifted by the possibility that he could evolve into a modern-day Robert Kennedy or a New York City FDR, turning city government into a laboratory for big ideas put into action.
Well, forgive me, but I'm trying to get a handle on what the progressive program actually is and how it could possibly work, and I just can't figure it out. When I listen to the self-described progressives, I hear soaring rhetoric about fairness and the crisis of income inequality. But when I look at the actual programs proposed, every single one of them looks to do absolutely nothing about "fairness," absolutely nothing about income inequality, and instead constitutes a giveaway to one or another favored constituency, almost always labor unions that provide political support, and whose members are nearly all well into the top half of the income distribution.
Granted, I'm about the farthest thing from a progressive, but I'm trying to look at the world from their perspective. If you take their rhetoric at face value, the overriding problem of the world today is the unfairness of unequal distribution of economic goods by the capitalist system. In his victory speech after winning the election, de Blasio called income inequality "the defining challenge of our time." President Obama used the exact same phrase -- "defining challenge of our time" -- in talking about income inequality in his speech on December 4.
Well, if I were a progressive, and my overriding concern was income inequality, the first thing I would do is recognize that addressing this problem in a way that would meaningfully swing the numbers will take huge resources, and we have limited resources, so we must use every dollar effectively in order to have enough to address income inequality. I would also insist on getting accurate data on real income inequality so that I would have some metrics to know whether anything I did was working. For example, I would insist on correcting the fraudulent data currently used by the government by which nearly $1 trillion annually in in-kind handouts to low income people are excluded from income data, and the incomes of high earners are counted pre-tax even though they pay half or more of that income to the government already. And finally, I would apply whatever spending I could muster for curing income inequality to a program that actually raised the measured incomes of the poorest people.
Applying these principles to actual programs, the first thing I would notice as mayor of New York is that we are way overspending on unsustainable pensions and health benefits for employees -- over $17 billion in the budget put forth yesterday, almost 23% of the entire $75 billion budget, and fully a third of the $52 billion portion funded by city taxes. The second thing I would notice is that we are spending about $20,000 to educate each public school child for a year, while the rest of the country does it for about half that. Those two things alone constitute about $15 billion of annual overspending of city taxpayer funds when the entire city tax system only raises about $52 billion. In other words, vast overspending on these major items -- all of which goes into the pockets of the union supporters of de Blasio -- crowds out more or less any hope of making a dent in income inequality. Overspending on Medicaid (by comparison with competitor states like California and Texas) is another several billion. I just can't think of how you can say that income inequality is your top priority when you let this kind of big money just slip away.
Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute has an op-ed in today's New York Post about de Blasio's budget presentation, headlined "Mayor goes minor-league," the theme of which is that he "missed the big picture." Yes, and then some. Not a mention of overspending on worker pensions or health benefits or public education. Instead he talked about things like another $35 million for snow removal and $3 million for an inspector general for the Police Department. OK, those things are a fraction of a tenth of a percent of the budget.
But de Blasio continued to show that he has no idea that resources are finite and you can't just throw money away on waste and expect to have anything left over for important things, let alone for massive projects like income inequality. So, for example, Bloomberg had proposed saving $59 million by closing surplus firehouses. That's appropriate and necessary -- fires in New York City are down by well over half since the early 90s according to Fire Department data here, but community opposition keeps all the firehouses open even with no fires to fight. Well, that's another $59 million that won't be addressing income inequality, and instead will go to the unionized firemen.
And how about two more de Blasio signature causes, hospitals and pre-K education. Long Island College Hospital continues to lose about $13 million per month, and is projected to lose over $200 million over the course of three years of ownership by SUNY. Granted this is state rather than city money. But remember, there are next to no patients in this hospital; the money just goes to de Blasio's SEIU healthcare union allies to do nothing. Universal pre-K similarly cannot possibly have any measurable effect on income inequality until the beneficiaries enter the labor force 20 years hence; but in the meantime the teachers union gets thousands of new dues-paying members.
If the actual agenda is to address income inequality, none of this makes any sense whatsoever. If the actual agenda is to pay off political supporters for putting you in office, then it makes sense. Or maybe a progressive can offer me an alternative explanation.

ĹGenerations Togetherĺ
A first-time intergenerational event by the Old Colorado City Library and Westside Community Center went so well Sept. 28 that it could become an annual affair.
Tiffany Paisley, the library staffer who brainstormed the 2Ż-hour gathering at the center, said about 100 people attended, and those she talked to liked it.
Called ôGenerations Together,ö the free event offered activities inside and outside, including games, crafts, early history on a computer, an aikido demonstration, balloon-making, live music and the Sox the Fox mascot. The timing was based on September being considered ôIntergenerational Month,ö she said.
One element Paisley would like to bolster (in planning a second annual ôGenerationsö next year) is participation from senior citizens. Most of those who came were families with children. ôWe'll work on adding that attendance,ö she said.
The library, which has limited space for big groups, uses the center regularly for large events. ôWe're so grateful to the West Center,ö Paisley said.

Inventors of the #selfie at it again. #ThelmaAndLouise pic.twitter.com/1yvbF8j4fF
— Susan Sarandon (@SusanSarandon) June 19, 2014
"Thelma & Louise" co-stars Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis have reunited to replicate the 'selfie' taken in the Oscar-winning film more than 20 years ago.
In the 1991 drama, Davis and Sarandon, as Thelma and Louise respectively, take a picture of themselves with a camera to mark the beginning of their ill-fated road trip.
The co-stars have recreated the shot 23 years later, and Sarandon posted it on Twitter on Thursday alongside the original picture. She writes, "Inventors of the #selfie at it again. #ThelmaAndLouise".
Both stars landed Oscar nods for the film, which won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and also launched the career of Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.

|The Beginning of First Semester
Some scattered and random thoughts at the beginning of a new semester.
- It occurred to me today that I was ordained 18 years ago this year. A few seconds after I had that thought, I realized that some of you were born in that same year. We shall never speak of this again.
- I hope that you had a restful Christmas Break. Maybe you discovered that the change in schedule and routine made it challenging to live your spiritual and moral life well. This is not an unusual experience. If things went a bit off the rails during the past month, make going to confession a priority this week. You know where to find me. I am very happy to be of service in this regard.
- The Catholic Center Retreat in Maine is the weekend of February 20-22. The retreat is entitled, "Proclaim." Not only do I want you to come on this retreat, but I want you to invite--at least--one other person. There's nothing greater we can do for another person than to provide them an opportunity to encounter Christ. Do something great over the next few weeks: invite others to encounter Christ!
- Is Jesus calling you to be a priest or a religious? Just get it over with and say, "Yes." Don't torture yourself trying to find loopholes.
- There are thousands of young people on our campus. Some of them feel alone and isolated. How about reaching out to them?
- Thank you to all of you who work so hard to make our Catholic Community strong. We are really blessed to have some great people in our community.
- The Catholic Center at Boston University always needs more money. Yeah, that's just a fact. We have an important mission, but we need donors to support that mission. Do you know of anyone who wants to help us in our mission of "Making Catholics and Keeping Catholics?"
- One of the great things about the Church is that we all help one another and learn from one another. I learn from you and from your example. One of the things that I love about being a priest is that, after almost eighteen years, I still feel like I'm just beginning to learn how to be a priest. If you ever find yourself not feeling like being holy or feeling like it really doesn't matter, just remember that your example helps others. It helps me.
- The Catholic Center at Boston University always needs more money . . . oh, I already said that.
- We should all pray more together. Let's work on that. Let's find ways to be more intentional about praying together.
- Jesus has gathered us together in order to do something great and beautiful in and through us. Let's cooperate with His grace. Let's live our life together like we are on a mission because . . . we are on a mission.
- A shepherd without sheep is kind of pointless. While I'm grateful for the little break over Christmas, I'm glad that the sheep are back.
- Welcome back.
Your Brother in Christ,

There's a good and a bad story behind these tangerine style pineapple. I didn't make nastar. I don't know why. The mould, I just can't seem to get it right. The opening from the mould yield a very very thin pastry. It makes my jam looks huge. As much as I really love pineapple tarts with lotsa filling, the one I made was way too much. I cannot make open face. The dough just wouldn't roll properly even after chilling because I have used the creaming method. I always have a tendency to overcream stuffs. I ended up making tangerines, something I am comfortable with.
I have to let go of my favourite nastar because I really don't want to repeat all the piping that I did, like thrice the effort just to make decent nastars. I needed to make like seriously, a lot! So bad as in I cannot make nastar but good as in I still can bring more pineapple tarts back and they do look good but I just would have preferred nastar....
I made two batches. One using self raising flour and one using plain flour, both from the same reliable recipe that I have always used when I found it here. The tarts above are made using plain flour wheres the ones below that I have placed in mini muffin liners are made using self-raising flour. I actually like the one with SRF better because they are more fluffy and they do expand a little when baking so the muffin liner comes in handy. It's really not that big in reality.
Talking about pastry, I have edited my pineapple jam post so do check it out. I've added in more pictures and tweaked the steps a bit using what my granny always does. I like her method way better. In fact, I always like anything caramelized.
And nope, I will stick to my chopsticks wire rack. I don't bake cookies often really so when I bake a cake, I use my oven rack as my wire rack. I have too much tools really. But I really need a good pasta maker though so I'm planning to splurge a bit on a good one. I think I can make flaky egg tarts, croissants, puff pastry and danish pastry with it too apart from just making pasta. The maker will help me save a lot of rolling time which I suck at.
These 'Tau Sar Piah' looking tarts are made specially for Aaron because he doesn't like the strong smell of cloves. And he whined I've only made 8 tarts without cloves. Simply because I like them so much better with cloves. They look more tangerine like! Did I mention I wrap the filling in when they are frozen from the freezer. When it is frozen, I work so much more quicker and the skin roll up so quickly and seamless too. I don't need to chill the dough and it did not ooze oil. I love wrapping in filling when they are frozen. They are always more moist when baked and even cooled after days...
And for storing, see if you can get red plastic jar/bottle like this. They are so traditional and typical of Chinese New Year. Again, I have used jumbo muffin paper flattened and spread out to line each layer. The tarts are so crumbly and fragile. And did I mention, yummy! And they fit just snuggly in my little red jar. And they are all of the same size. I NEVER WEIGH MY FILLING AND PASTRY. I'm not bragging but I would love to tell you all what I've done. For tangerines, 1/2 tablespoon of dough to 1 tspful of filling is the perfect proportion. Simply use your measuring spoon, the one with 1/2 tbsp capacity and 1 tsp capacity and measure. There is no need to weigh it in my opinion, just my thoughts. Please don't condemn me.
Layer the tarts in the jar until it is full to the brim/bottleneck. Before screwing the top, place a kitchen towel or baking paper on top and press the cover down. Twist till tightly secured and tape it with sticky tape all around. Baking paper or kitchen towel helps absorb moisture and prevent tarts from turning mouldy too quickly since I always like my jam on the moist side. Apart from that, they are a very good sealer and act as an insurance air-tight. And with the sticky tape all around it, yeah my little red jar of tangerine tarts look as if it's storebought/pasar-malam bought. And I place it under my bed. It is such a good spot, not too cold and never get warm from the summer heat. Anyway, they are all n my hand carry luggage now. I can't wait to go back Malaysia. I'm already homesick now. I will still post from Malaysia if I'm not too busy.
And my fellow bloggers, I can't wait to see all of you!!!!!

Dear Orthodox Brethren,
1. Protestantism allows for private interpretation before Truth. Whilst claiming to believe in the "infallibility of Scripture" or "Bible Only", what it really reads as is personal private interpretation as becoming the standard of Truth rather than the whole counsel of God as revealed in Scripture and Holy Tradition. In fact, it has often lead to total negation of fundamental Christian doctrines altogether and even to pseudo-Christian and heretical cults. Whilst Papists/Latins already elevate private interpretation in the form of the rantings of one hierarch speaking in "ex-cathedra", Protestants have taken the other extreme and tried to make it look more pious. Is it no wonder that one of our saints of our time, Saint Justin Popovich, stated: "Papism is the first Protestantism".
2. Protestantism has encouraged anti-Christian and anti-Biblical sentiments in both doctrine and social issues all in the name of "the grace of God" which is really gracelessness. It is within Protestantism that we discovered liberalism, communism, gay/lesbian liberation theology, ecumenism/pan-heresy movement, so called "Emergent Church" Movement and so on. To add insult to injury, you can include the World Council of "Churches" (really World Council of Heretics and Antichrists) as well as evangelists in universalism such as Robert Schuller, Billy Graham, John Stott and so on.
3. [CAUTION: THIS IS ONE THAT EVEN A NUMBER OF OUR ORTHODOX BRETHREN EVEN FALL GUILTY OF]. Anti-Jewishness and Israel bashing at every turn seems to be promoted in classical Protestantism. (Shame on any Orthodox, both layman or hierarch, who has engaged in the same!). It was Martin Luther who gave a precursor for Nazism to persecute the Jews out of existence. Even though a number of Lutherans today might find this an embarrassing fact, many Lutheran bishops and pastors welcomed Adolf Hitler and his Third Reich. In addition to this, both the Nazis (including neo-Nazis today) and the Lutheran 'church' published Martin Luther's rants against the Jews. Today in the world of Protestantism, even though the facts are obvious to all, there is much bashing of Israel and 'Zionism' but nothing said against the godless anti-Christian Muslim terrorists in the Hamas and Hezbollah movements as well as PLO. It seems convenient to ignore the fact that these people stated: "First the Saturday people. (Jews) Next the Sunday People (Christians)." [SHAME ON ANY ORTHODOX LEADER OR LAYMAN WHO HAS DONE EXACTLY THE SAME. YOU DO NOT REPRESENT THE FAITH BUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL, ETHNOCENTRIC BIAS!]. As much as the Jews and Judaism may be wrong for rejecting the Messiah, yet we must always bear in mind that since they are the original people of God, we the Church have the mission of bringing them back into the fold through both correct teaching of the Old Testament and also through out love. Like it or not, only the state of Israel has guaranteed the protection and freedoms of the Christians in the Middle East, not to mention the fact that they have even allowed Jews or Israeli citizens to convert to Christianity. We must love them into the Church, since it is inevitable after much suffering, that they will repent and accept the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
4. [CAUTION: THIS IS ANOTHER THAT EVEN OUR ORTHODOX BRETHREN HAVE FALLEN GUILTY OF]. Collaboration with Islam and Muslim terrorists. Protestantism is the worst culprit in this regards. In fact, Martin Luther and John Calvin, whilst criticizing Islam theologically, on the other hand, were keen on having their followers being buried with Islamic ritual and also at times collaborated with the godless Ottoman Turks to overthrow their Catholic counterparts. Today we have official hierarchs and well-renowned evangelists and leaders seeking to collaborate with these Christ-deniers and murderers of the brethren. Whether it is the World Council of 'Churches' (Heretics and Antichrists) or the likes of Rev. Gordon Moyes, Rev. Billy Graham, Rev. John Stott, Robert Schuller and others. In fact, Robert Schuller was caught on camera stating that he did not object to his children converting to Islam! [SHAME ON ANY ORTHODOX HIERARCH AND LAYMAN WHO HAS DONE THE SAME. GREATER SHAME ON A NUMBER OF HIERARCHS WITHIN THE ANTIOCHIAN CHURCH AS WELL AS THE RUSSIAN AND GREEK CHURCHES WHO HAVE DONE SIMILARLY. THEY PUT ST. JOHN OF DAMASCUS TO SHAME AND TRAMPLE ON THE BLOOD OF OUR BRETHREN.]
5. Protestantism created the impetus for left-wing ideologies of Communism, liberal-Bible denying theories and the pseudo-science of Darwin's evolution theory. Both Marx and Engels came from Protestant backgrounds. Marx from Lutheranism via his father's conversion and Engels from the Huguenots who immigrated to Germany. When they totally rejected any vestige of Christianity altogether, they changed the "natural law of God" to the law of man. Protestantism gave enough impetus for them to write their accursed "The Communist Manifesto". Bible-deniers were prominent in the Lutheran circles via the Jesuit theories adopted.(It seems that Khomyakov was correct in stating that: "Both Papism and Protestantism are two sides of the same coin."). It is interesting to note that Luther called for the removal of the book of James altogether from the New Testament in the name of "defending grace" (really 'gracelessness'). Charles Darwin never had a degree in science whatsoever and was simply coming from the background of negating God because of his disillusionment with Christianity. Darwin, despite negating his own theories, on his deathbed, never repented to the God of the Bible and yet was granted an Anglican burial! Protestantism created his rebelliousness since it allowed for private interpretation to be superior to Truth. It is also interesting to note that the accursed "Biblical Criticism" came from Protestantism and even gave birth to the negation of the Byzantine Text of Scripture to the point of replacing it with 2 manuscripts that were never used by the Church, and in fact, were meant to be thrown out by the monks in the Sinai monastery, only to be discovered by rationalist Germans and furthered by 2 Christ-denying, heretical Anglican clergymen: Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort. All the modern translations, both Protestant and Catholic, are based on these perverted manuscripts.
6.Protestantism was the first to promote accommodation with the world to the point of allowing rock music and questionable material and practices to penetrate their 'churches'. They made the excuse of "making the church relevant" and 'following the times' to bring people into church. If that is the case, then they have failed miserably because the West is apostatizing and most are avoiding 'churches' or anything to do with Christianity for Eastern religions and heresies. Thus, Protestantism has made itself the enemy of God by seeking to be friends with the world. (James 4)
7. Protestantism is the biggest revisionist of history. In the name of 'purifying the church', they make base accusations saying that Christianity was lost for thousands of years until the arrival of the Protestant Reformation. They accuse the Fathers of various sins and denigrate certain saints. They are thus accusing Christ of not being able to keep his promise that the Church will always be there unto the end of the world and that the gates of hell will not prevail against her. I wish to tell any serious minded Christian person within Protestantism to come out of her and be not a partaker of her plagues. Entering the Orthodox Church does not mean you will lose any real Christian convictions you may have learnt. It will only clarify them further and strengthen your faith, small as it may be. If anything, you will learn more not less to support your Christian convictions if you have any. Orthodoxy has not changed whilst both Papism and Protestantism have often been subject to change.
Yours in Christ, Timothy Kwoh

[blackbirdpie id="27859964799″]
Will is exactly right. How do you prevent concussions with a helmet? From my layman's understanding of concussions, the traumatic brain injury happens when the head decelerates faster than the brain can handle; when it "rebounds" off of the skull, injury occurs. With this in mind, the goal of modern helmets should be to reduce the deceleration rate of the skull. The focus right now is rightly on football helmets, but I think that it's just as important in hockey, a sport where information about injuries might as well be top-secret.
Barth, et al. discussed a basic Newtonian model for deceleration back in 2001. A player running nine yards per second [a 4.44 40-yard dash time] who is tackled and comes to a complete stop in just six inches decelerates at over 22.6g (g being the acceleration due to gravity). If you need reference points on just how hight that is, Wikipedia presents examples of typical G-loads. You can argue that no player runs that fast in game speed, but I'd turn around and argue that few players running full speed who are really lit up by a tackler are decelerating in less than six inches.
Let's consider a few more things, starting around the premise that not all hits are the same. I'm not talking about the power of hits so much as I am the stopping distance for the head. As a player runs downfield, the various parts of his body are all moving at roughly the same speed—close enough that you can consider it the same as the ground coverage speed. When the player gets hit, there are three scenarios:
- The hit is such that the stopping distance for the brain is even shorter than it is for the rest of the body: the head stops moving while the body rotates forward underneath, usually resulting in the legs "flying out from underneath him". You would see this mainly when a player is mid-air and the collision hits his upper body, specifically above the armpits. This is almost assuredly going to be a helmet-to-helmet collision. For a mental picture, consider a wide receiver sprinting downfield, jumping in stride to catch a pass, and being absolutely lit up by a DB. The only saving grace for the wideout here is that he will have reduced his ground coverage speed to jump, as the human body can't maintain full forward speed while accelerating vertically. The football historians among you will be thinking of Darryl Stingley at this point.
- The hit is such that the stopping distance for the brain is the same as it is for the rest of the body. This is the default assumption people have, and it works in many cases. That said, "body lean" has to be involved, because the hitting force is going to have to be applied to the head, shoulders, or high in the upper body for the neck not to increase the stopping distance by whiplash. For the worst hits in this scenario, you will see people leading with their heads and the players being generally of equal mass and footspeed (momentum) who are both making a stride at the same time they hit. Collisions are about momentum, and if both players carry the same momentum into the hit and have a foot planted when it happens, their bodies don't get to translate much linear deceleration into rotation.
- The hit is such that the stopping distance for the brain is larger than it is for the rest of the body. In this scenario, the tackler has hit the player at or below the bottom of the chest pads, planting their shoulder into the solar plexus. Yes, you're going to knock the breath out of the guy, but as the player's midsection stops, his upper body will fly forward, greatly increasing the stopping distance for the head, lowering the deceleration.
Considering the above, part of the issue is clearly in tackling technique: "cleaning a guy's clock" with a mid-air collision or leading with the head results in bad, bad hits. Past technique, helmet makers need to look at the very important "increasing the stopping distance" problem. I think the issue is fairly simple: a bigger helmet with some sort of gel sack that allows the head to move around inside the helmet while maintaining integrity. The brain floats in a volume of cerebrospinal fluid that's encased by the neurocranium. As the cranium decelereates, the brain pushes CSF out of the way and to the back of the skull; TBI happens when the brain actually impacts the cranium. That said, the natural choice of having the brain encapsulated in fluid, allowing the brain to increase its stopping distance, is a good analogue for what should be done. I propose that an encapsulated gel be used because the force of impact can drive the gel to the opposite side of the helmet, allowing the head to move more than the helmet does in a way that compressive padding alone cannot. The encapsulated gel, of course, would be enclosed by some compressive padding, probably on all sides, for comfort for the wearer and because you want padding there when the gel has fully transferred.
Let's go back to that deceleration discussed in the open.
- Let's put a half-inch of the gel inside the helmet and repeat the collison: (-9)*(-9)/(2*0.181*10.73) = 20.9g That's an 8% reduction, all other things being equal.
- What about a full inch? (-9)*(-9)/(2*0.194*10.73) = 19.5g That's 14%.
- Heck, why not two inches? (-9)*(-9)/(2*0.222*10.73) = 17.0g That's 25%.
Let's now address the objections:
- Making the helmets bigger just means you're going to see more helmet-to-helmet collisions. This is true, but reduction of helmet-to-helmet hits is on the NFL and its enforcement, not on the helmet manufacturer. Also, making a bigger helmet could provide for decreasing the forward curvature, making the helmet "pointier" and making it harder for straight-on, face-to-face hits.
- You're not going to see full re-distribution of the gel on all hits. Yes, but you likely will on the worst ones, and those are the ones that need it the worst.
- You're just making the helmet heavier. This slows players down and makes them tired. I fail to see the problem here.
Let me finish with a couple thoughts on future study:
- Going back to the larger helmet idea, I do think that you could make the helmet more appropriately represent the human skull if you make it overall larger: elongated in the front, with little direct frontal area. A glancing blow to the facemask is going to let the brain take longer to stop; if you can deflect blows from the face to the side, this will improve concussive hits, albeit at the risk of neck torsion and injury as the head rotates.
- Along the lines of designing a helmet fully, you'd want impact data from all sides of the helmet. Can you have a thicker front section of gel and voids along the sides for it to move into? Probably. The issue then becomes returning the gel back to its normal state. I think the easiest way would be a compressed air system, with players seeing an impact above a certain level required to sit out a play while their helmet is restored.
- The above idea indicates that you'd want some form of real-time data on player helmet accelerations. What's truly concussive? I don't know. Is a 17g hit okay where a 22g hit isn't? I don't know. Much as there's the baseline test for neurocognitive functions that smart football organizations now require, I think the NFL should be leading the way in real-time data gathering on collisions in order to assist sports medicine and helmet manufacturers better understand the problems that they face. The best testing for helmets is field testing, and that requires real-time gathering.
Let's be honest: as a multi-billion-dollar industry, the NFL can afford to make these changes and investigate this further, and it should. Why? If football ends up being deemed too violent, parents won't let their kids play it at the youth level, and the quality of the sport will then decrease as coaching fundamentals will be required at increasingly higher levels. If the quality of play goes down, the NFL probably loses viewers, and that's bottom line. Viewed otherwise, if the NFL can use its financial success to increase the sophistication and efficacy of helmets, it should do so, as improved equipment eventually is mass-produced down the chain. If youth football becomes safer, more parents will let their kids play, instruction is moved down the chain, and the NFL has a better product as a result. Football is a sport that American kids love and want to play, and the NFL, in seeking the best product possible, should be getting them to learn the game as early as possible. The only way to do that is to make it as safe as possible, allaying parental concerns about their children's well-being.
[Nota bene: I am an aerospace engineer by education, a systems engineer and project manager by training, and a football and hockey fanatic. Despite being a wide-body, I refused to play HS football because I wanted to walk without pain when I hit 30. I think I made the right choice for me. I mention this only in case Will Carroll links to this and people wonder who the hell I am to be talking about helmet design. I am decidedly a layman, but a reasonably educated one.]

Descriptions, hand-drawn illustrations, and photographs animate this book on the ways animals and insects construct their shelters—some of which turn out to be climate-specific and cleverly sited, while others seem more decorative and superfluous, labored over solely in order to attract a mate. By extension, the book offers fascinating clues for designing environmentally friendly shelters for we humanoid bipeds.
Franklin comes across as funny, arrogant, and (above all) innovative. His autobiography, credited with being the first of its kind, remains my all-time favorite of the memoir genre.
A book that allows you to see how the architecture and urbanism of Koolhaas and OMA continue to pursue the "culture of congestion" written about here. It demonstrates that a thesis constructed as an interesting question—in this case, "if Manhattan had a manifesto, what would it be?"—is far more engaging than one that proves a much-deliberated point. Witty and enjoyable to read, it has little in common with the dry majority of contemporary theory.
To this day, Design With Climate remains one of the clearest volumes on how to design "with," rather than "against," climate. Though our tools for understanding air movement and solar shading have now become more sophisticated, the brevity and precision in Olgyay's simple, black-and-white diagrams make this a great resource for those interested in designing with climate in mind.
This book skillfully uncovers the contributions of Gray, a modernist Irish designer and architect who worked in Paris in the early 20th century. It reveals the story of her life as well as her connection with Le Corbusier, who is said to have coveted the house she designed for herself and Jean Badovici in the south of France.
Rice, a structural engineer, modestly recounts how some of the most famous buildings of the late 20th century were conceived and—even more interestingly—how they were achieved.
It is hard to choose a favorite among Gould's witty elucidations on evolution. This one includes a fabulous analogy of "excellence" as found in baseball. It also includes an incredible analysis of statistics as opposed to statistical analysis.
A book that inhabits every crevice— inside, outside, atop, and below—a fabulous work of architecture.
While today's oftentimes banal cities multiply and grow at dizzying rates, this book becomes all the more relevant for helping us imagine their untapped potential.
Out of print, but not out of mind, this book includes many great photographs, drawings, sketches, and essays. It is almost a documentary in its full sense of what it must have been like to work with the Italian-Brazilian modernist architect. Embodying the art, people, and life in her work, the book gives proper space to Bo Bardi's architecture and its tropical vibrancy.
Using the lens of art and literature, this book illuminates the conflicted identity of America as a pastoral utopia versus an industrial giant. While literary criticism is often left behind after grad school, Marx's book—through its astute and useful observations based on centuries of serious writing—has maintained a very long shelf life for me.
A well-researched history of the creation of William Smith's great geological map that demonstrates the profound impact of transforming invisible knowledge into legible lines on a page.
The power of keen observation of natural phenomena informs this influential book, which stresses the ways in which structure and mechanics play a role in how living things find their form. What structure junky could resist discussions of spherical tetrahedrons, soap bubbles, or the delicate skeletal patterns found in radiolaria? Even though the science behind it has since been updated, Thompson's book remains full of wonders.
A finely crafted argument making a case for natural selection and evolution that also lays out the difficulties with the theory. It is fascinating to get a sense of Darwin's struggles at the points where there are missing pieces to the puzzle.
The book that laid the groundwork for understanding the ethical dimensions of our modern relationship to the natural environment. In one poetic chapter, the author must cut down an old oak that has been struck by lightning. As he cuts, he recounts eras of landscape history, moving backward through time as he saws through the growth rings of the tree.
A pre-Christian Irish epic about the events leading up to a great battle that depicts heroism, love and war, greed and deceit, and, of course, life and death. Ordinary experiences flow together with extraordinary mythical feats. The Kinsella translation is accompanied by the drawings of Louis Le Brocquy.

Queering the Curriculum: Or how I learned to stop thinking heteronormativly, and question identity in the classroom
by Jonathon van Maren


text: I had been looking for a clean solution to hold my phone and preferably charge it and have found this solution that I wanted to share with everyone: It is the iMagnet: http://amzn.com/B008IOQ3K6 It sticks firmly and can be removed at anytime, and is rather unobtrusive. My Nexus 5 perfectly holds to it magnetically without the need for a protective case! I believe the battery inside the Nexus 5 is very close to it's back cover and that may be what is doing the trick here. The USB cable connected to the cig lighter easily reaches the phone, and the black cable basically disappears against the black carpet in the center tunnel. I bought the iMagnet from Amazon for about $25 and am very happy with how it has held up (over 6 months). Despite the hot temps, the mount has stayed firmly in place. If your phone won't directly hold to the magnet, the vendor provides several 1mm thick metal discs that you can sandwich between the back of your phone and a protective case - this has worked very well with my wife's rather heavy Nokia Lumia phone.

|Hey, we totally got married last year!
But now, fourteen months later, the
And it's in London.
With add-on days in Paris and Stockholm.
I was already thinking that I needed to document this in some way more meaningful than a few humble-brag Facebook photos (#HereWeAreAtBigBen #DeliciousVindaloo #LookHowGreatThisIsGuys!). I figured maybe it was time to climb back into the blogging saddle, even if it's only for a week-long ride. Could be a good idea, I decided. But we'll see.
We just wrapped our first full day here in London... and I'm already struggling to remember what all we did today.
Which led me to two thoughts:
1) See, this is why people get married in their twenties.
2) Yeah. I should blog about this. For my own memory's sake, if nothing else.
So here we go. If you're interested in getting back on the OSB train, all aboard, y'all. The catch-up happens now and I'll try to stay consistent for the week.

Nemechek Fights Back at Kansas
After two finishes outside the top-25 at Atlanta and Martinsville, a third place Friday night at Kansas comes as a step in the right direction for John Hunter Nemechek.
Starting the day in 14th, the 19-year-old worked his way to the front to finish fourth in Stage 1, and seventh in Stage 2.
"It started out pretty good," Nemechek said. "We didn't qualify like we wanted to. We ended up qualifying 14th and I think it was Lap 5, we were running sixth or fifth there and we had made it up to the front pretty good. We struggled all night fighting tight conditions center off, and my guys never gave up on me so, I can't thank them enough,"
It was late in the race though where he ran his best. After restarting fourth on Lap 138, Nemechek was able to move to third and keep close to leaders Ben Rhodes and Kyle Busch.
"We made good adjustments all night, and we went a little bit further at the end and needed just a little bit more I think to hang with the 51 (Busch). The 27 (Rhodes) and the 51 were so fast at the end it was hard to keep up," Nemechek said. "After the last couple of races that we've had, having two mechanical failures, to come back and get a third, definitely is great for our team and hopefully we can keep that momentum rolling."
Despite the solid run, Nemechek admits there is still a "little bit of work to do" for his team moving forward after mechanical failures in two of the first four races have put them behind. The second-generation racer also expressed that the team needs to work on their strategy prior to each race weekend. As with no top-10 starts yet this year, he has found himself playing catch up come time for the green flag.
"We have to keep finishing races and have to work on our speed a little bit," Nemechek said. "We have to work on our unload speed. It makes it way easier when you unload fast and don't have to change a bunch. I feel like that's where were getting beat."
After four events, he sits 11th in the standings, 16 points behind eighth heading into Charlotte, where he has a 12th place finish in one start.

setup preese!!!
Haven't checked it myself yet but can setups be exported as a file?
Most important for me, DIFF at 0 (all three settings when ADV).
Not realistic, but at least i can do 130+ kmh on a bumpy road and go somewhat straight.
Should be looked at. Cooper with standard Diff is all over the road at high(er) speeds.
