Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles)
When it comes to Penang hawker food/street food, there are a few dishes that are chart-toppers: Penang Assam Laksa, Hokkien Prawn Noodles, and Char Kuey Teow. It's hard to decide which one is the most popular, but if you go to Penang, you won't—and don't want to—miss these three stellar hawker food.
Char Kuey Teow is basically flat rice noodles stir-fried with shrimp, bloody cockles, Chinese lap cheong (sausage), eggs, bean sprouts, and chives in a mix of soy sauce. A great serving of Char Kuey Teow is flavored not only with the freshest ingredients, but equally important is the elusive charred aroma from stir-frying the noodles over very high heat in a well-seasoned Chinese wok.
The mouthwatering aroma is the "wok hei" or breath of wok. If you've been to Penang and walk on streets where there are Char Kuey Teow hawkers, you'll know what I mean. A great Char Kuey Teow beckons you from blocks away; the tempting aroma fills the air and lure diners in from afar. The very thought of that smell is enough to set my stomach rumbling.
While Char Kuey Teow can be found throughout Malaysia, the Penang version reigns supreme. I've heard many stories about tourists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, and beyond who trek religiously to Penang for a satisfying meal of the dish. Somehow, Char Kuey Teow from outside of Penang is simply an inferior shadow of the real stuff—lack of wok hei, too dark in color, and/or wrong taste and texture. And that's the very reason why Malaysians from out-of-state would go to Penang—just to have a plate of Char Kuey Teow.
Char Kuey Teow is one the most requested recipes on Rasa Malaysia. I have readers who've been begging me to post my Char Kuey Teow recipe since three years ago. Great things, especially a perfect recipe, is worth waiting for. Of course I've made Char Kuey Teow many times, but I wanted to share the ultimate Char Kuey Teow recipe, and this is it.
So, what are my secrets?
- Get the freshest ingredients—fresh and crunchy bean sprouts, freshly-made noodles, big, fat, succulent shrimp/prawn, bloody cockles (I love my Char Kuey Teow with them, without them, it's not quite the same!), etc.
- Wonder why the prawn in Penang Char Kuey Teow are always so succulent, juicy, and sweet? I believe some of the most famous stalls treat their prawn with sugar and ice water, or perhaps they are just very fresh.
- Use lard if you can. That's the secret for the rich silky taste.
- Very hot wok.
- Control your timing of cooking and hence control your "wok hei."
Without further ado, here is my secret Char Kuey Teow recipe and a detailed step-by-step picture guide that everyone is waiting for. Char Kuey Teow is seriously scrumptious and I don't see why it can't be as popular and well-known as Pad Thai and the likes on the global stage. I strongly believe that one day, the world will discover the delicacy that is Penang's Char Kuey Teow.

Firstly, I absolutely LOVE your website. It has all of the dishes that I loved in Asia. Secondly, Char Kuey Teow is my home comfort from Malaysia and can't wait to try and make it!!
I'll definitely be back very soon!
Thank you ! CKT from home -tried it and LOVED it.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have tried making CKT at home a few times. It comes out pretty OK but still missing something, like you say, the wok hei. Did you cook this at home? I think that it's not possible to cook as delicious as the hawker stalls because of this missing wok hei. How do you compensate for this? What kind of wok do you use? I guess you use gas stove instead of electric? Just wondering. Thanks for sharing! Love your blog!
you'll probably need a cast iron wok to retain the heat, especially when using electric stoves.
Thumbs up for this recipe – one of my make at home favorites on our cast iron wok – thanks so much for this insight. It will always be difficult to get the hawker/ restaurant wok hei unless one is kitted out with the high pressure burner – though you can still get good results at home but it has to be gas on full blast. A conventional home gas burner does about 3000 BTU (heat units) some not even that. Looking at the hawker setups they probably do 20,000-40,000 BTU and I know Restaraunt burners do 60,000-90,000 BTU and higher – what a gas bill. We have a Rambo burner ($240) that does 20,000 BTU but we cook outside.
ive watched how the made it hawker style in penang..exactly like yours..
and i believe urs tasted the same :)
man now im hungry!!!!
char kuey teow penang style is the best!! and correct, i wonder y they're not famous like pad thai..
now i want char kuey teow..hope i can somehow try it here in germany…first need to find the ingredients!!
Finally I got my Chow Kuey Teow right by following your receipe,thankyou. To John who wants to know how to soften the flat noodles. I put it in the microwave oven for two minutes to soften it. I usually buy a couple of flat noodles and leave them in my fridge for a week and they come out good after warming in the microwave oven.
By the way, I do not receive your receipes anymore. I look forward to your new receipes because they are so good! I am ready to cook something for Chinese New Year from your receipes. A very Happy and Healthy Chinese New Year to you and your crew.
Our microwave is busted so i left the chilled noodles on top of our car hood for 30minutes or so in the afternoon. Works for me. Made this today but i adjusted the soy sauce mixture to double of every measure except the soy sauce
Wah RM!… HOU KHENG ah…!!…. Been craving for CKT, now this post makes me crave for it even more…… :p Have to go find flat noodles and try some wok hei.. just hoping that I will the trigger the smoke alarm.. mISS Penang food so bad.. Thank you so much !!!!!!
*Correction* I will NOT trigger the alarm… sorry..
this title caught my attention. Cha Kuey Teow which means fried noodles in Teochew hehe
Thanks for posting this recipe! I'm a big fan of RasaMalaysia website. I'm an Indonesian but I grew up in Singapore and CharKueyTeow is definitely one of my fave dishes. Now I can try and cook this at home.
Thank you very much for this char kwey teow recipe. I have tried many versions, but for me, this one beats them all. The method is so uncomplicated. Prepared it for lunch yesterday….it was a success.
It's one of the best Malaysian favorites to introduce to our foreign friends
wow,uniknya malaysia!!!
looks so good! was just wondering…for the soy sauce, is it kicap pekat or can i use the usual kicap manis/masin…eg. kicap cap habhal type? can't wait to try it out!
Hi, I love to eat Char Kuey Teow and I really want to have a go at your recipe. I have a few questions regarding some of the ingredients: is it Malaysian soy sauce/dark soy sauce? I don't think I've come across it in london…can I use indonesian kecap manis instead or is that the same thing? Thanks!
Hi, me again! I went looking for malaysian dark soy sauce but was unable to find it so will use kecap manis instead – would you suggest to adjust any of the other flavourings to make it less sweeter and more smokier? This recipe also requires soy sauce – is that regular (chinese?) soy sauce? Thanks!
Cooked it according to your steps, what can I say? It's delicious! Technique is indeed the key, thank you, Bee for sharing. To those of you who haven't try it, this is very worth trying and you won't be disappointed for sure!
i saw somewhere on a cooking show before that restaurants pan fry the kuey teow with some oil to brown it slightly before frying it. This supposedly adds more flavor to it. But i think it was a recipe for "wat tan hor". Can that be applied to char kuey teow as well? I tried pan frying the kuey teow and the kuey teow stuck together into clumps.
Street food is the yummiest, not to mention a great way to experience a country's culture. I wish I had a wok to try out this recipe!
hiya, i wonder if you could please tell me how to make the chili paste pls? thank you in advanced!!!
Hi Bee
Love your recipes. A big Thank you from Australia.
Our whole family LOVES Char Kwey Teow so it is terrific to finally see your recipe. Thanks.
Do you or any readers have tips for a good Malaysian restaurant in the northern LA area? My husband visits there a few times a year and has yet to locate one. He's missing his Laksa and CKT. :-)
Thanks again
That is one marvelous dish! So flavorful and beautiful. A combination of ingredients that is impossible to resist.
Good point about why isn't char koay teow as popular as pad thai. I'm surprised people know more about Thai food than Malaysian food since Malaya was a British colony, so the West was more exposed to Malaysian culture than Thai. I guess since Thailand tourism exploded in the last 20 years is probably the reason Thai food is more well known now.
But it's hard to replicate the char koay teow in Penang. Just ask Singapore…
I have been following your recipes they work wonderfully. It would be great if the number of serving is provided.
I have searched everywhere for "the perfect" way to make Char Kway Teow, and this turned out perfectly. I've tried to make Char Kway Teow, like 15 times before and they turned out horribly. Following this recipe made a most amazing home cooked Char Kway Teow.
After cooking it several times I began experimenting with non traditional additions. Being portugeuse I introduced some finely chopped linguica and that added a very interesting kick. Thank so much for sharing this recipe!
hello there
I am just wondering what sort of wok do you use?
I dont know how to thank you for that amazing recipes , love you all my heart, i beg you for one more thing if you know of corse ,some penang fried rice recipes, thank you again
European addicted to asian food, good food and that here is definitely good
Hi Bee and first thanksfor your super-duper website I just found.
Having studied at Penang (USM) for semester, me and my morrocan flatmate fell totally in love with Char Keow Teow ! I think we ate that every 2 days minimum! Of course I generally love the food in Malaysia, the Char Keow Teow remains my all time favorite.
Saddly, there's 1 malay restaurant in PAris, that doesn't do my favorite stuff, and the Char Keow Teow in particular.
I tried to cook it a couple of times but it never tastes right. Just ok, but never close to the real thing.
I'll practice with your recipe, and will go on dreaming about Malaysian Food ! (I miss Malaysia sooo much…)
I love this receipe. Its so easy and most important its so yummy. My kids love it. I am so glad that this receipe has been shared with us. Thanks. A few query indeed. Why sweet dark sauce is not used in this receipe instead its using sugar? Aside, Do I have to maintain high heat on wok throughout the cooking or I can reduce heat once Kuay Teow is in the wok. I would also like to know how many portion is this quantity of 1lb kuay Teow cater for.
I have only tried to make Char Kuey Teow once and it was disasterous! lol I had it in a restaurant in San Francisco but it seemed different than your recipe. But my question is: is dark soy the same as kecap manis or do I need something different? Thanks. I am determined to learn as much as I can about Malaysian cooking as I can and want to make this again. Thanks
The best CKT I had in Penang street stall was inside some warehouse in Betu Ferringhi in some back street. Do you know it Bee? Another secret the stall shared with us is to make only one portion at a time. It was a mighty long wait cause there were 7 of us but so worth it. Now, we can cook it with your recipe, yay, thx. Glad you mentioned hot wok, my mom would have hers screaming hot with quite a lot of oil. I've not made this, kinda intimidating but I'm going to try this.
Hi Bee,
I wash the kuey theow, and it sticks. Shoud I not wash it? Otherwise the char kuey theow tastes good. Thanks for posting the recipe.
AFter reading Grace Yong's books about Breath of the Wok and Stir-frying to the Sky's edge, I tried her special wok seasoning makeover technique five times and finally got 'wok hei' in jsut about everything cooked in my wok. I think what's great is everyone can achieve 'wok-hei' cooking at home.
Hi, Nice recipe. I first tasted Char Kueh Teow in Singapore hawker stalls. Couldn't get enough of it but have also had a number of variations. Some with beef and green capsicum, some with chicken and prawn. All different but still very tasty.
I have also been cooking CKT at home since I was taught it by a hawker stall owner in Penang following the Commonwealth games in KL in '98, and I find it curious that the order they cooked it, and which I follow is not the same as yours, although you say it is important.
The spices and garlic were first in the wok, then the prawns and other fishy things (like cockles or squid tubes) and chinese sausage then the noodles, and then the egg and kecap manis. Yes, KM was used in the recipe and yes, it made it sweet, but I quite like that).The sprouts were always added last, and I use the tops of spring onions as the green instead of chives. Just a different flavour but they all taste wonderful in my opinion.
Thanks for this recipe! Being an oversea student, I've never thought I'll be able to eat this out of Malaysia let alone cooking it by myself! Though I didn't manage to get Chinese sausages or cockles, it still tastes nice with bean sprout, eggs and prawns! Love it!
Looks good, I've tried other recipes with success but I'm going to give yours a go tonight.I lived in Penang (Butterworth to be precise) for 2 years and fell in love with the tucker. Unfortunately even in Aus to get anything authentic Malaysian you more often than not need to make it yourself. Have you tried it with fried belachan in the paste?

OMG.. I love your website a lot, the instructions are very clear, thank you so much for sharing this recipe and other mouth watering recipes
The best Char Kway Teow comes from goggle man on Lorong Selamat.
Pingback:Char kuey teow, I miss you « fifty degrees of separation
Excellent recipe. Thank You for sharing. The dish came out really good. This is one of my favorite dishes.
I used some local squid instead of the cockles.
Made this for dinner! My boyfriend and I both think it tastes really close to what we have back home! It's even better than Chinese restaurant ones! Thanks for this :) it tastes like home, just that it's in London!
I reside in Sydney and a restaurant chain here serves PAD THAI on their menu. The only problem is, their so-called PAD THAI is obviously CHAR KUEY TEOW and NOT PAD THAT! (I guess they did this switch because it'a a lot easier for Aussies to pronounce pad thai over char kwey teow. Lol) They are clearly miseducating the Aussies, but admittedly, they do make a very yummy and close to authentic char kwey teow. It even has that distinct wok hei flavor. :D

Hai thanks for your receipe.can i use hard anodised wok and also soy sause means light soya sause?
Can we substitute the dark soy with thick dark soy (caramel)? I bought a bottle back from Malaysia. How would I adjust the recipe using thick dark soy? I assume the Chinese brand thick dark soy is different than the kecap manis which is more sweeter.

I've been asked many times whether there was a free program that could be used in making digital scrapbooking pages, I discovered this one called Paint and it has many features that will make getting started in digital scrapping a breeze.
From the Paint site "About
Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins.
It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as www.adobe.com Adobe® Photoshop®, www.corel.com Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The www.gimp.org GIMP.
The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality. The source code is available under the terms of the MIT License."

I just have to share some wonderful sites with you for enhancing your scrapbooks in photoshop. There are many more free plugins and proffessional plugins also, not shown here. The first is a favourite site of mine to visit for regular photoshop actions, I really love her paper tear actions, love the torn and inking edge action alot on my layouts for the paper edges http://www.atomiccupcake.com/ . Actions can literally save you oodles of time in the process work of making the same effects over and over again. Saving the wrist particularily for designers and fulltime scrappers on a mission to get albums done.
The following is a site that have some really wonderful actions from vintage photo framing to book making as pictured here. They are really clever and a whole lot of fun! http://www.panosfx.com/ Check out there free section for personal use which making scrapbooking layouts falls under.
Monica Larsen has some great ribbon and bow actions that are wonderful to use, twisted and rumpled ribbons. Lot's of really time saving actions that are just perfect to go with whatever kit you have purchased.
Other sites you may want to investigate are http://www.alienskin.com/ for there fabulous plugins you'll have to watch the demos to see what I mean!
For a nifty page curling plugin check out Av Bro page curler here :
For a great free tiler filter and many more free filters check out Richard Rosenman here:
Oh and I can't forget Auto Fx's Dreamsuite for the wonderful liquid metal plugin and the other cool plugins they have for terrific photo edges and effects.
Photoshop Mama has some awesome tutorials for free with her newsletter and in some of her archives. She teachers you how to make your own simple time saving actions in a simple easy to follow video. She always talks to you as if you are a beginner so her tutorials are suitable for the advanced to beginner levels, I highly reccommend them to become familiar with your powerful programs capabilites. http://www.photoshopmama.net/
I know with all these great links to investigate you'll be busy visiting sites in search of making your pages the best they can be. Oh on a caution note of advice, actions and plugins can take alot of ram and if your computer is only just managing to get things saved in high resolution in Adobe photoshop, please don't go installing any plugins until you get more ram and a faster computer. I work off a 4gig ram computer and a 1000gig memory PC system so I don't have to worry about my computer crashing, which it will do on the slow systems.
If you found this article helpful, please leave me a comment
Hi just my two cents here for those of you with no experience at all and want to put a free site up professionally and fast, retaining all control then I suggest taking a look at www.doteasy.com they have free 100mb with no banner adds like bravehost do. Also if you want to have scripts running on the site they have tech's install them for you. Personally I suggest getting a domain and site through them and having blogger installed as the main script, with some tweaking it can look proffessional and stay interesting with the site changing constantly. I'm not sure if ranking on the major search engines is important to you or not, but if you don't use a blog for your main page it's virtually a waste of money trying to pay to get onto the search engines. I guess it all depends if you want returning hits too, as looking at a nice stagnant page the first time is lovely but everytime you revisit and it still is the same then forget it!. Run a search on scrapbooking on a major search engine and see how many sites come up, last time I checked there were 20,500,000 and I ranked finally on page 13 woohoo! I can tell you not with out some effort on my behalf. Now if you were to do a image scrapbooking search then I'm on page 3 thereabouts depends on the content on my site for that search day. Here I am giving all my secrets away, but take my experience from me, don't learn the hard way on building a website business up!
Now why do I say blogger instead of b2evolution? Because unless you have php scripting knowledge and a database then forget B2evo, blogger keep and run updates and security patches(necessary defence against hackers) on their script constantly and you have no concerns about doing that for yourself. Easy admin controls and photo upload areas. If you want more you can link static html pages to your blog roll website showcasing a gallery and store. Well I'm hoping this news article saves some time and alot of frustration for some of you. Please Comment away, more advice and knowledge freely contributed would be lovely for visitors reading this.

Quote:I just read that Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) will be brightest in the March evening sky perhaps 2nd magnitude or better?With that only being three or so months away, is it visible now in a small telescope or binoculars????
Quote:Oort Cloud comets like 2011 L4 carry within them a high potential for not living up to expectations with regard to their brightness predictions.
Quote:Analysis is based on 155 visual observations.
Quote:... to Comet Kohoutek some forty years ago
Quote:A revised brightness formula prepared by Seiichi Yoshida from recent magnitude measurements of the comet now puts peak brightness at +3http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/2011L4/2011L4.htmlSeiichi puts n now at 2.4 with m1 set at 5.5 meaning the comet is less intrinsically bright than orginally thought and brightening slower than hoped. This is a drop from the prior estimate using n = 4.0 and m1 = 4.0. CN Experts - is this typical with Oort comets? (still learning my way round)
Quote:and do not know why
Such comets are often very unpredictable, and do not know why, they usually get worse!
Quote:Hi, any news from last days? Is there even any chance for this comet to be visible with tail in 10x50? I mean from northern hemisphere.
Quote:Quote:Hi, any news from last days? Is there even any chance for this comet to be visible with tail in 10x50? I mean from northern hemisphere.
The most recent observation that I am aware of is this one:
2013 Jan 24.74 UT; m1=7.2; Dia= 5; DC= 6; 11x70 B [Chris Wyatt, Walcha, NSW,
Twilight, tail to WSW, fan shaped WSW to ESE, tail more defined on the NW edge,
5 in length on the longest side (WSW), ESE edge much shorter. Bright stellar
pseudo nucleus with diffuse and fainter outer coma.
The comet's current magnitude implies a continuation of the reduced rate of brightening exhibited since its recovery several weeks ago. Considering that currently a rudimentary dust tail is evident visually, this suggests that a more prominent example of such a feature will evolve as the comet approaches the Sun.
However, when theoretically near its brightest and best during March the comet will be situated very low in the western sky and backed by rather bright twilight for Northern Hemisphere observers. While this initially did not seem likely to pose a serious problem when the comet's peak magnitude was anticipated to be zero, or brighter, it is increasingly likely that twilight will indeed be a major factor, along with light from the waxing moon, in this likely fainter comet's visibility.
I know that Comet C/2006 P1 (McNaught) was brighter before perihelion than PANSTARRS will probably ever be, but I needed 10x50 binoculars to get a good view of it just above the horizon when I made this sketch just 2 days before perihelion. Through the binoculars it looked like a magnesium flare. Of course, it then went on to greatness.

By FELICIA KRIEG
---- — MORRISONVILLE — Soon, voters will decide on a $2.5 million update and expansion project for Morrisonville Volunteer Fire Department's station.
A referendum vote is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 31, said Gary Rabideau, chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners.
The Clinton County and Town of Schuyler Falls zoning boards have already approved the project, fire officials said.
"We're pushing for spring construction," Rabideau said. "We would like as much input from the town residents as possible."
The addition would include a decontamination room, a "day room" for mutual-aid departments, expanded office space, a new community room and a fitness center for department members.
The updates also would make the entrance and bathroom of the building handicap accessible.
The multi-million dollar price tag includes "soft and hard costs," everything from attorney's fees to bonding, Rabideau said.
"The Fire Department commissioners take the expenditure of taxpayer dollars very seriously," a department press release said.
The annual tax rate, should the project be approved, would be 51 cents per $1,000 of assessed value on property in the Fire District, he said.
The increase would still put Morrisonville under the county average property-tax rate, Rabideau said.
The project would likely be financed with a 20-year bond, he said.
The project has been in the works for awhile, with planning starting in April of last year.
Many who live in the Fire District are aware of the plans, as firefighters have been spreading the word for quite some time, Assistant Fire Chief Steve Brown said.
Some of the features the fire station is lacking pose significant safety risks, Rabideau said. The building doesn't have a fire alarm system or sprinklers, and the electrical system is antiquated.
Those deficiencies would have to be addressed even if the project doesn't pass, he said.
And the updates would put the fire station in line with new energy codes, Rabideau said, which would lead to savings down the line.
The fire station was built in three phases, beginning in 1954. The most recent major construction was back in 1986, when firefighters volunteered their time to building a new bay, he said.
The Fire District paid for the materials, he said.
The facility, located on Route 22B, has not been expanded or been updated in step with the increasing technology and size of modern fire equipment, the commissioners said in the release.
Architect Andrew Abdallah of the Architectural Engineering Design Association in Plattsburgh drew up plans for the addition.
They show five truck bays with larger doors and higher ceilings.
"We're cramped for room right now," Brown said.
And there's another issue with inadequate space, too. In one of the truck bays, firefighters are often suiting up in the area where they hang their gear, only a few feet from the truck, Brown said. And when the vehicle pulls out of the station, the fumes from the exhaust could contaminate the fire suits, he said.
The station currently houses three pumpers, two brush trucks, one rescue vehicle, one antique truck and a van that contains water rescue equipment.
Sometimes the van has to be parked outside because of space constraints and, although the firehouse has a surveillance system, this poses a security threat, Rabideau said.
The fitness room in the plans would contain weight-training equipment for the department's 45 firefighters; the "day room" would give mutual-aid companies a place to gather and relax when they are covering for Morrisonville.
The community room, used for department fundraisers, would almost double in size, with enough seating for 99 people, Rabideau said.
The "deconditioning" or decontamination room would give firefighters a place to strip off their gear and take showers after returning from a fire. The industrial washer purchased by the department five years ago and the dryer they bought last year would go in that room, he said.
The washer and dryer are safety precautions, since the Occupational Safety and Heath Administration found that firefighters who wear gear that hasn't been properly decontaminated face an increased risk of throat cancer, Fire Chief Kevin Randall said.
"Simply stated, our building is much too small for our modern-day mission," the release said.
The Fire Department's budget for 2013 is $326,872, Rabideau said.
Email Felicia Krieg:
email@example.com LEARN MORE Registration for voters in the Morrisonville Fire District is set for 6 to 9 p.m. today at the Fire Station, 1927 Route 22B. An informational meeting for the public on the firehouse expansion is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday. Fire District commissioners and the architect will be in attendance, taking questions and showing the conceptual drawings. A referendum vote on the project is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 31.

Linus Torvalds at DECUS `94
The Primary Highlight for the Linux/Unix Community was the special appearance of the "Father of Linux", Linus Torvalds. There were two sessions which featured Linus and both were very informative and entertaining. The sessions were called "An Introduction to Linux" and "Implementation Issues in Linux". During the sessions, I learned a great deal about the Linux Operating System as well as the promising future of Linux.
According to Linus, there are over 176,000 lines of code in the kernel of which 88,000 lines of code are for device drivers. While Linus is the primary author of the kernel, most of the device driver code has been contributed by others.
The history of Linux may be short compared to the Unix time scale: three years versus twenty-five years. However, much has happened since the beginning of Linux. A few milestones for Linux follow:
From 1991 to the present, Linus has demonstrated tremendous dedication to Linux. For example, the virtual memory code was written in just three days-and it was the three days before Christmas! In three short years, Linux has transformed itself from a very simple terminal emulator to a powerful enhanced Unix operating system. A great deal of work is now being done to further enhance the existing kernel and implement new features. Some of the work in progress involves kernel threads, extended memory management, file system optimizations, and ports to other architectures such as the 68K and the Power PC and maybe even the DEC Alpha.
I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Linus in New Orleans, Louisiana and was able to learn a lot about Linus and what his interests are other than the Linux operating system. This was my first chance to meet Linus in person and I was shocked to find that he was not at all the "computer hacker geek" that I dared to imagine. Linus is one of the nicest and most personable people I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. He has a wonderful sense of humor and is very funny. I found myself laughing non-stop during our chats. Linus lives at home with his family and cats and likes to spend time with his girlfriend. He teaches at the University of Helsinki.
Lately, he has been traveling around the world talking about Linux. Linus jokes that
"if you want to travel around the world and be invited to speak at a lot of different places, just write a Unix operating system." Upon meeting Linus, one would never dream that he was the author of a Unix operating system; he never brags, boasts or even seems to want very much recognition for his massive effort.
There never seemed to be any selfish attitude at all from Linus. I wish all software developers had the attitude and determination to produce quality code such as Linux and want little, if anything, in return. Someone asked him at DECUS how he felt about other people and companies using part or all the Linux kernel for profit and not giving him any money. Linus simply replied, "I wrote Linux for public use, not for the money."
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Know someone perfect for this career?
One thing in your favor is that the career of representing athletes, entertainers, and artists of any kind, is growing every year.
However, being in the right place at the right time is part of breaking into the business. They say the same thing about show business, too—it's kind of sink or swim and it's hard to break into.
Who's going to hire a fresh-faced self-described sports agent who has yet to sign an athlete? Right: probably no one. So what do you do if you really, really, want to do this job?
If you've armed yourself with the aforementioned useful skills—business management, strong math and statistics abilities, investment knowledge, communication talents, and legal acumen—now's the time to try an internship. Work for free for a sports agent or even a company of agents whom you trust and who has a proven track record.
Join groups, get yourself invited to parties, and network, network, network. This career really is one of those that starts off as being all about what and who you know.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Alex Harbuck found out through experience what it takes to go home with the Grand Champion banner. Harbuck, of Blooming Grove FFA, has shown for the past six years and won Grand Champion in the Breeding Rabbits division Wednesday with her prized Californian buck.
"You just have to spend a lot of time with the rabbits," Harbuck said. "It takes time to get them to cooperate."
Reserve Champion honors went to Lacie DeRojas of Dawson FFA with her Broken Black Satin doe which also won Best of Breed. Her brother, and last year's Reserve Champion, Will Miller accepted the awards for DeRojas who was attending another school function.
"Lacie's advice to other rabbit breeders would be to work hard and never give up." Miller said of his sister's success.
There were 110 entries registered in this year's Breeding Rabbit Division which was a good turnout, according to co-chairperson Rosemarie Goff.
"I've been doing this for 20 years," Goff said. "This is one of the biggest breeder shows so far, we are seeing good quality rabbits and they keep improving every year. Our judges have been amazed at how Navarro County residents help each other learn what it takes to breed a fine animal. Breeding rabbits is also an event that even the kids who live in town can be a part of."
"We have some very experienced participants in the event but also a good many new kids," Co-chairperson Daryl Shelton said. "I hope those who did not take home a ribbon don't get discouraged. This is a great opportunity to learn from each other. This has turned out to be a really good show, things have gone smoothly, we got started earlier and I'm glad to participate."

Brad Tolkin
Review Highlights
Working from home is nice, there is a good support structure even though you work from home (in 17 reviews)
But seriously, the best reason to work here is perhaps the people (in 3 reviews)
Throw them on the phones for the busy season during the first part of the year and when it slows down they are glad to see you go (in 4 reviews)
There's so much this company need to improve on for their call center (in 4 reviews)
"Decent company"
Pros – Working from home is nice, there is a good support structure even though you work from home.
Cons – Don't even think about vacationing during "wave season". Was told upon hire could have off for family wedding at end of March and was told after working for them I wouldn't have that time approved due to busy season.
Advice to Senior Management – Be honest about PTO and requests from the beginning.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

"Repetitive, Work at Home, No support"
Pros – Work from home saves money
Pay is decent
Cons – This seems as if it's an easy job right? Well it could be really but the standards they put on you are really unnecessary. I was hired as a Customer Service Rep, not a sales agent but what they don't tell you until you actually get into training is that your employment relies on sales instead of the service role you were hired from. I'm not a pushy person and I don't feel comfortable being overbearing. Sometimes people just really want to call and get prices. Cruises aren't cheap so yeah if I'm going to spend that much money I'm going to do my research but WTH doesn't see it that way. Plus you have to factor in travel insurance into all that, many of which don't want it as it is an extra cost that they just don't have the money for or see it as being wasteful. We're supposed to be travel experts but the training in no way left me feeling that way. Once you learn the initial booking software you are on your own.
They have a guide that you are supposed to follow for every call but honestly the customers won't let you even touch on some points. I don't blame them, when I call a place I want my problem addressed not having to sit and verify a bunch of information that in the end doesn't pertain to my initial issue.
Then there is the even more unnecessary post call survey. Most of the time I don't even mention it because nobody wants to take those. It's a one and done thing, you call in for something specific, it gets answered and you get off the phone. That's really the gist of this kinda of work.
I was off for 5 days due to sickness and come back only to get an email about my stats not being high enough for the month. I was told not to send back excuses and that I obviously wasn't including travel protection in my quotes since the percentage wasn't high. I do include it but I'm not going to tell someone you either take it or don't bother making a reservation. That's really how they think. But did the woman emailing me take into account that I missed 5 days? Nope she just sent that rude email and that was it.
The schedule is another thing. What I have works for our family but I feel so isolated being in a room behind a closed door that it's like I actually am in a separate building. If it gets busy they actually tell you not to take a break. You get a new schedule ever 12 weeks but you never get two days off in a row.
Then you have to deal with customers who go to a website and don't read the fine print on promotions only to get rude when you tell them the truth behind how those work. You can only explain things so many times before you yourself start to get frustrated. And don't get me started on foreign people who think they are entitled to the moon and stars when there is absolutely nothing you can do to help them.
Overall if I wasn't paid decently and in the process of finishing up college I wouldn't be here. I've got to the point where I cringe every single time a phone call comes in but in this job market it's hard enough to find something to keep you at home with this kind of pay. There are some calls where I know I'm being rude but there are certain people in this world you can't be nice to no matter how hard you try. I'm not one of these people that can kill them with kindness because I look at the big picture. The general population thinks that any person they call in and talk to are below them. They think they are always right and I've got news for some of these people you are so far from being right it's laughable. If you think the prices are too high, then take a land vacation. Nothing in this world is free so stop acting like it is.
Advice to Senior Management – Look over your blessed customer connection as it's a waste of time. It's not something that magically works as all your higher management types say. Stop having team leads that are so pushy and let us do our job the way we feel comfortable. Otherwise give us a script to follow, from start to finish and tell us exactly what to say, don't suggest things just outright tell us. Let the customer call in with a question and let us fix it. Exclude all the useless things they don't want to hear about and be glad that at the end of the day you have their business. Verifying their first/last name is all you need. The post call survey needs to go because all it does it lower our stats and give you something to complaint to us about.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"employee turn out is insane"
Pros – opportunities for advancement are promising, starting pay is great for entry level employees with no formal education, incentives are available, hires and promotes from within the company
Cons – the scheduling system is really bad, management only wants a warm body answering phones and making sales, they don't care about your life outside of the office, team leads are poorly trained if at all (often times they go on power trips), if you aren't a top seller in the first 3 months team leads do whatever it takes to get you out of there
Advice to Senior Management – spend more time on training everyone, staff, and management, it will make a huge difference in long run
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"OK at best"
Pros – Virtual positions available, no commuting or clothing expense
Cons – Constant pressure from team leads who are never available to help you. Travel pros and CS reps work very hard while the team leads find pictures and cartoons to put in emails. Ever changing goals can make you crazy especially during very busy times. Days off are scarce. They expect you to experience cruises but don't give you enough time off to go. Schedules change every 12 weeks and are assigned by performance. Family vs work balance is poor. The only thing important is company needs. Do something wrong and you become a target. Very high turnover.
Advice to Senior Management – Take a good look at lower and mid management.

"It's an ok place to work"
Pros – work at home. computer provided. paid training.
Cons – strict guidelines. not much support from management.
Advice to Senior Management – WTH is an ok place to work. It does offer great pay for an at-home job, though. They are very strict on their policies. You do something wrong, you're fired without much time or help to correct what you were doing wrong. Also, schedules change a regular basis and they do not care what's going on in your life. They will schedule you whenever they feel like it. They make you fill out an availability form, but they don't usually stick to that. You have a 2nd job, oh well. You're in college, oh well. It is an ok place to work at, like I said, however don't screw up because they are very unforgiving.
My advice to upper management is to be more forgiving on the first offense for something. We are human beings and sometimes life stuff happens.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Don't mess up here! Don't stay off the phone too long."
Pros – Great benefits, worked with great people. Luncheons from sales executives every month at least, Good location. Good training.
Cons – Cons would be the way that the managers kept track of calls coming in, in relation to the customer service versus sales. It was rare that a person wanted to add on to an already booked reservation. New inbound calls were expected to be sold on that call due to price changes. Don't take too many breaks, if you are sick try to be there anyway, while the managers understood people do get sick after a while they will start targeting anyone that would take advantage of sick time or other time off.
Advice to Senior Management – Not every position is about sales. Customer service is very valuable as well, with that being said there was no room for improvement for sales when all the calls are for customer service.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

"Its not what I thought it would be, but it's a job."
Pros – Best reason to work here is because you want to work from home, your an excellent salesperson and or you want discounts on cruises.
Cons – It's funny I read this site before I took this job and I thought man this job could mean some opportunity for growth, money and benefits. I've always loved travel so it seemed like a great fit. Well let me tell you there where 25+ people in my training class and now there's about 8-10 left with 6 of them telling me personally how upset they are with this job. Take this job if you are already a salesperson and your able to sell anyone on anything,, don't take this job if you think your going to be trained on how to sell. You will be very disappointed with your pay check. Here's what they don't tell you in the interview or in training....your making usually about usually 10% of 10% of the total. Sometimes that's as little as $9, many times your not making anything at all except your hourly wage, which is $8. Let's face it people now a days want to book things online, so they call to get answers to questions than leave and book it themselves. Which not only do you not make money but you don't meet your conversion percentage. Oh, I almost forgot about the forced Overtime, that's makes for very unhappy employees. It's great working from home but you can make more at burger king flipping burgers with less stress. Why am I still here? Because I like working from home :)
Advice to Senior Management – Start telling new hires what its really like to work here! Stop sugar coding the job. Only a very small percentage of people are making the money you post in the job description. Just like only a very tiny number of rooms/sailings actually go for the prices you post online. Another crappy part of the job, explaining to people that what the see online isn't the actual cost...kinda makes it hard to sell something when people don't trust us.
Pros – great fellow employee, work from home
Cons – They do not work with your schedule for any reason, not school, not another job, not family. Everything is done by what they feel they need.
Advice to Senior Management – Pay attention to your smaller employees, they make the company and will probably be your boss one day.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Great place to train and learn the cruise business."
Pros – Work your own hours. You can earn an unlimited income however it dies take a while to build up
your sales.
Cons – The management is ok. If you do not work you do not make any money. If you have a reservation to cancel they will take the commission out of your next pay check.
Advice to Senior Management – Be much more helpful to people who are having a difficult time making sales rather than gushing over the people that are making sales. Everyone wants to be successful.

"They don't pay well!!, the more you know they change your banding and your pay decreases"
Pros – To have a job, do a couple of ship tours, eat the food on tours.....thats the only perk you'll recieve.
Cons – Alot of micro managing and ass kissing, they treat you like a race horse!!! the scheduling sucks and changes every three months.
Advice to Senior Management – They dont pay well, the more you know about selling cruises and learn the ships. They force you to change your banding to get more commission, this is done when its the busy periods so you can think your making more money!!!....They are nothing but Hustlers!!

Note that even the British royal family has some less traditional names - Zara Phillips, Savannah and Isla Phillips, and to a lesser extent, Princess Eugenie. Though of course, none of them are expected to be future monarchs.

Does Suffolk County need a disaster preparedness plan to deal with catastrophic events such as Hurricane Sandy?
The answer from residents at a public hearing held by the County Legislature Thursday was clearly yes. Legislators gathered at the William H. Rogers Legislative Building in Smithtown to obtain feedback from residents on how to better handle a major event such as the recent superstorm.
Commack resident Debra Ettenberg felt a "crisis plan" is needed, saying that no one knew where to turn immediately after the storm.
"Often times you were told to go to the Internet. We didn't have internet," she said. "When you have a crisis plan, think about the individual homes and let them know what the plan is so they can therefore relay [the need] to those agencies."
Fellow Commack resident Maureen Veprek felt the location of her hamlet at the "tail end" of the towns of Huntington and Smithtown was a factor in a slow recovery.
"We're very underserved because we don't have a central person to go to," she said. "Having coordination and communication seems to be the overriding thought here tonight."
To help get the word out to local residents Ettenberg said agencies such as local fire departments, schools, libraries, and community organizations should be involved in communicating it to the public.
Residents who advocated for a crisis plan said the county should be the lead agency in prioritizing what services need to be repaired.
Vito Cottone, also of Commack, said following an event like Sandy the county needs to get the roads cleared, traffic lights working and also create a list of where residents can charge personal electronic devices such as cell phones.
"It was so chaotic and nobody knew what was happening," he said of the days after Sandy hit Long Island. "That's got to change."
In addition to developing a countywide crisis plan, others said further investment in downtowns would help Suffolk manage through other major natural disasters.
"We need an emergency plan for Long Island built off the strength of the local communities," said Eric Alexander, executive director of Vision Long Island. "There are a lot of infrastructure needs for our downtowns that we're going to lobby for."
He told legislators that about half of the county's 60 downtowns became the center for community interaction in the aftermath of the storm because they never lost power.
"Folks were charging their devices, getting meals, coming together," Alexander said. "I think that speaks to the importance of our downtown communities."
Legislators Kara Hahn, D-Setauket, and Kate Browning, D-Shirley, asked Alexander if he thought older systems such as traditional land telephone lines have a place alongside newer technologies in future preparedness.
"I think what you need is duplication in this instance," Alexander said.
Some felt that an environmental team was also needed as part of a countywide emergency response team, while others stressed the importance of restoring the barrier beaches along the south shore.
"The mere existence of that sand levy was of indispensable value to the mainland," said Irving Like, a resident of Fire Island.
Legis. Wayne Horsely, D-Babylon, said the speakers' testimonies and ideas would be taken into consideration when the county prepares a full report on Hurricane Sandy.

Megan Boken, 23, a former Saint Louis University (SLU) volleyball player, was shot and killed Saturday afternoon while parked in her car at the intersection of Maryland and North Taylor in the Central West End. Authorities believe she was the victim of a robbery. Police have said there is no evidence to suggest she knew her killer.
St. Louis Regional CrimeStoppers asked Patch to help inform St. Louis citizens that the reward dollars for tips leading to arrest and/or conviction of Boken's killer have been increasing.
Officer Lisa Pisciotta, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and executive director of St. Louis Regional CrimeStoppers, said tips are being shared daily. "But people call when they're reminded by media coverage about cases, such as this one," she said.
The anonymous tip line is (866) 371-8477.
If one's tip, called into CrimeStoppers, leads to the arrest of a person responsible for this crime, a reward of up to $1,000 may be received from CrimeStoppers.
The Central West End Neighborhood Security Initiative is offering a $10,000 reward for the arrest of whomever committed this alleged homicide. Earlier this week, a group called Friends of Megan offered an additional $10,000 for the arrest and conviction of the suspect.
Pisciotta said officials now have pledged another $10,000 for the arrest and conviction of whomever killed Boken.
So, as of Wednesday morning, a total of $31,000 total reward money is being offered in the homicide case of Boken.
Police indicate the suspect is a black male with a medium complexion. He also was described as 5 foot 8 inches to 5 foot 10 inches tall, with a thin build and short hair. He was described as wearing a grey charcoal shirt, Khaki pants and white tennis shoes.
Calls to St. Louis CrimeStoppers can be anonymous in that there is no caller identification and no voice mail. Tips must be called, texted or emailed directly to the CrimeStoppers Tip Hotline only to be eligible for the CrimeStoppers rewards, said Pisciotta.
Fox Sports Midwest reported Boken played volleyball for the Saint Louis Billikens from 2007 to 2010. She was a 2011 graduate of SLU's John Cook School of Business. She also played on the SLU volleyball teams who emerged as winners of the Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season titles in 2008 and 2009.
Boken was living near Chicago before visiting St. Louis this weekend.

Sue Furlong, Glasgow Independent Schools finance officer, shared the 2013-14 school year budget at a regular school board session on Monday. The budget, which Furlong described as "tight," is expected to have more than $356,600 less in federal and state granting funding from last year.
Furlong said federal sequestration reduced the amount of grant funding for this year. Despite the difficult fiscal times, Furlong said it's not as bad as she initially anticipated.

Goldman Sachs latest to launch short-duration Euro bond fund
by Robert St George on Jan 17, 2014 at 11:11
Goldman Sachs Asset Management is to become the latest fund group to offer a short-duration Euro bond product with the launch of a new fund.
The Goldman Sachs Euro Short Duration Bond Portfolio will invest its assets primarily in investment-grade short-term fixed and floating-rate debt securities denominated in Euros.
The fund's management fees are expected to range from 0.4% to 0.8% depending on the share class bought. The lowest minimum investment amount has been set at £1,500.
Goldman Sachs already runs a Euro Fixed Income fund, a first quartile performer over the past one, three and five years. On a five-year view it has produced an annualised return of 6.07% compared with 4.33% from its peer group and 5.09% from its benchmark Barclays Euro Aggregate Bond index.
The launch follows a year in which money has flown into fixed income funds that offer some protection against interest rate rises. According to the most recent data from Lipper, in November short-duration Euro bond funds pulled in £1.8 billion, making it the month's fifth most popular sector.
Earlier this month Standard Life converted its Select Income fund into a short-duration credit fund for its recent hire Daniel McKernan, who joined the firm from Swip in September.
