Penang Assam Laksa Recipe (Nyonya Hot and Sour Noodles in Fish Soup)
Before I start writing this post, I have a confession to make. I have an Asian (Chinese/Malaysian) mouth. In my gastronomic dictionary, it simply means that I can't live without rice and noodles, soy sauce, sambal belacan, spicy and pungent food–the foods of my Chinese-Malaysian root.
Just this past week, I had a massive Asian mouth attack. Granted, I savored some of the best French foods–foie gras, cheese, mussels, seafood, duck, terrine, and the list goes on. However, three days into eating meals after meals of immaculate French food, I got bored of it…it's too heavy and luxurious for my cheap taste. No offense to French cuisine connoisseur, I wanted something without cream or butter or sauces or excessive details; I wanted something simple and straightforward such as my Asian rice and noodle dishes–Hokkien mee, fried rice noodles, steamed rice rolls, char kway teow, chicken rice, and especially Penang Assam Laksa.
On the flight back home, I knew that I had to make Penang Assam Laksa to cure my Asian mouth disease and fix my craving. So, I went to the market and assembled the long list of ingredients and made myself a small pot of Penang Assam Laksa, or Nyonya noodles in spicy and tangy fish broth/soup.
A staple–and arguably the most famous–hawker food in Penang, Penang Assam Laksa is very addictive due to the spicy and sour taste of the fish broth. Tamarind is used generously in the soup base and hence the word Assam (means tamarind in Malay). In addition to tamarind, assam keping or peeled tamarind is also commonly added to give it extra tartness. Another secret ingredient is Polygonum leaf (marketed as Vietnamese mint leaf in the United States) or daun kesom/daun laksa. While the best Assam Laksa broth is infused with the aromatic ginger flower (bunga kantan), I made without it because I couldn't find this special ingredient in the market. Of course, no Assam Laksa is complete without belacan and dollops of heh ko/prawn paste (the dark paste on the spoon).
Anyway, my Penang Assam Laksa was spot on–hot, spicy, sour, pungent, and full of flavors. It was very delicious and as good as the ones served by hawkers in Penang. At the first taste of this Penang Assam Laksa, I felt like being home. For now, I declare my my Asian mouth syndrome sorted.

Welcome back!
That's the great thing about learning to cook– in any part of the world you can satisfy your very specific craving :p
RM, I can understand why you get bored, since I work and have to cook Western style food all the time.
Those leaves, in Indonesia, it's known as daun laksa.
Yummm….salivating just looking at the photo and waiting for the recipe!! Luckily, recently in New Zealand, I found bunga kantan!! Thanks for the wonderful blog.
One true Anak Malaysia! Yum yum laksa, awesome job!
Wow those look sooo good! I know exactly what you mean about having an Asian mouth. I spent a month in Spain and by the end of it I had tried more Chinese restaurants in the town i was in than i had tapas bars. I'm going to have to make some Hokkien Mee with your recipe this week after seeing this post.
Welcome home!! Will call you this weekend.
xo, j
I would learn how to cook too.. if only i can get the ingredients.. :)
Oooooh!! Beautiful photos of one of my favourite Malaysian foods. I can almost smell it. :)
I can't wait for the recipe. I love Assam Laksa and have been looking for a really good recipe for ages.
What beautiful photos! I know what you mean about the tastes of home. When we travel, no matter how wonderful the cuisine is [and France is about as good as it gets to me], coming home to our own kitchens is always so welcoming.
Those photos are mouthwatering!
Oh my goodness! I know exactly how you feel. I live in Paris and people don't believe when I say malaysian/asian cuisine is the best. Nothing beats a bowl of steaming spicy assam laksa or won ton mee or rendang curry…just thinking of it is making me drool ;-)
asam laksa! i love it! yes indeed it is da' femes (in team bsg style) hawker food in penang!
i'm sure your asam laksa is very delicious, BY, from the look of it.
aiya but pity no ginger flower as that is the ingredient i love most. in fact whenever i buy laksa i always ask them to add more ginger flower.
about this polygonum leaf – it is call 'poo hor' in hokkien right?
not "poo hor"!! "poo hor" is mint leaf…. if i'm not mistaken this leaf should call "chian hong" in hokkien! mostly use in asam curry
I know exactly what you mean about getting Asian cravings while in France. I enjoy French cuisine, but after a few days I also need a fix of Asian flavors, especially the heat from chili peppers!
Every time I visit Paris, I'll end up in the Vietnamese district to get some comfort food. Plus, it's easier to communicate in Vietnamese than in my bad French.
BTW, the polygonum leaf is rau răm in Vietnamese, a.k.a. Vietnamese coriander.
Welcome back RM!! Dude, I totally feel you on the Asian mouth thing. I mentioned this on my blog, but towards the last part of our France trip, we started eating ramen to hold us over until we got home. The first week getting home, we ate Asian food exclusively hehe.
It looks very delicious. You are a great cook. Is this the only kind of fish we use in asam laksa?
The soup looks amazing! Great photo!
The pics are amazing! Did u try the fish soup in France? It looks like laksa but without the assam flavour. I can get dried bunga kantan (by Hup Loong) here in Canada for C$2/pkt. I'll be more than happy to send u some.
Now I am getting hungry…..
This is a thing of beauty.
You really have the magic touch for food and pictures. Nice job!
Oh my god!!!! your asam laksa looked great!! Drooling~~
I love asam laksa and have been craving for it. Never made it myself coz hubby doesnt really fancy it. I dont want to spend time and effort making it and end up eating all by myself.
awww.. wish you are one of my neighbors. >_<
Do agree when you say its not penang asam laksa with out the 'har kou'. Happy Chinese new year!
wow, the laksa must be yummy with so much of shredded fish in the broth! (massive drooling!)
Do you think that cooking Penang laksa is tedious? I tried it once, but I've not been cooking it again… the whole process is just too daunting for me.. ;-)
I blog about how terrific food is abroad but secretly I eat more Chinese food when I'm traveling. Every where in France, even in remote villages we sneak into Chinese restaurants many times during the trip, even in Paris, we just can't shake this craving for Chinese/Malaysian food. We can almost call London home because of the great Chinese food.I'm with you.
Great looking dish you made there! How many servings did you do? Seems a lot of trouble for one meal.. I admire your motivation to do this elaborate dish.
i am suddenly craving for penang laksa after viewing this post!
I LOOOVVVEEE assam laksa! Haven't had it for ages though – and I'm too lazy to make it! I'll just have to wait till my mum visits me again so she can make it for me! You've definitely given me a craving!
I have those cravings too whenever I travel but the funny thing is, whenever I'm back home, I'd get adventurous with non-Malaysian food soon after. Well …
Your laksa looks good! Still can't find good ones in KL as oppose to those served in Penang.
I am salivating looking at your bowl of assam laksa. Absolutely lovely!
OMG … I swear, I am absolutely drooling right now..!!!
You absolutely make the best looking and I'm sure best tasting dishes. I say this because you could make an unfamiliar dish look so infinitely appealing to me!
love love love anything assam! *wink* yup, sad tht we cant find bunga kantan here. i wonder if s&k wud be able to get us some thru their 'connection'.
i also have daun kesum and since im not as rajin as u r, i use them in my asam laksa maggi. takde real asam laksa, maggi pun jadilah kan? hehe.
I love it. You're making me drool!
absolutely delish food!!
droooll – i can taste the tang of the tamarind in my mouth. absolutely beautiful foto
I love your assam laksa, the photo is mouth watering – I especially like the mint garnish :)
Looks delicious!!! Where I come from, our Laksa tend to be served with hard boiled egg, which I love so much and lots of Mint leaves!! Soupe de Poisson and the Laksa fish soup are different in the sense of the taste as we Malaysians tend to use a lot of spices in the aspect cooking. For them, it could be too spicy.
Next time if you go to France again, try Bouillabaisse – the traditional Provençal fish stew. It's way better than Soupe de Poisson. Tastier and more interesting!
i so loveee laksa so much i can't live without it! urs looks gorgeous! i can imagine the long ingredients… but its so worth all the effort! :-)
All – thanks for your comments. I love them…keep them coming.
Lucia – no, polygonum leaf is called "cham hom", por ho is mint leaf.
Chuck – noted about Vietnamese coriander. :)
Anonymous – mackerel is great for laksa and they are not hard to find in the market.
Anonymous – thanks for your offer abour dried bunga kantan, I know those, but it's just not the same. ;)
Cooking Hut – I know about hard-boiled eggs, they are usually offered in Malay Assam Laksa, but not Chinese ones. I love it though. I did try Bouillabaisse, it tastes like soupe de poisson with seafood…similar stock I believe. I think I still prefer Italian Ciopinno in that sense. :P
i've read & copied ur recipe, but there are a few things which i don't understand..
firstly i stay in singapore, so most of the spices should be available in provision shops if i'm correct.
1. what's assam keping? peeled tamarind?- so am i supposed t buy 2 tamarinds and peel one of them?
2. How do i get the tamarind juice? – do i need t pound the whole tamarind or the juice will come out once water is added?
3. Do i put the peeled tamarinds without crushing or anything in the pot?
4. Can i pre-process & saute the spices into a paste and keep it in the fridge till i need t use it, or do i have t do on the spot?
5. Where do i get fish sauce and what exactly is it?
6. What does "1 cucumber (julienned)" stand for?
…I'm looking forward to cook this dish for my mom(:
We both love penang laksa so much that we always travel t malaysia t have it(:
also, sorry for being such a bug by troubling you):
hahah i'm quite a lousy cook, so i don't really understand the cooking terms. hee:P
RM, the dish looks awesome. There are so many kinds of mackerel here – Indian, American, Norwegian, Galong-galong! Can you tell me which kind is better? Thank you so much….
WOW!!! I just found your site. I haven't had assam laksa for decades. I had recipes from Malaysia but they all are long-winded and majority of the stuff I can't fine here in Ottawa Canada.
Your recipe is a tad shorter so I'm gonna go hunt up some of the ingredients. Probably won't get everything but I figure something is better than NOTHING! I so miss the food in M'sia.
I tried making this penang assam laksa using your penang assam laksa recipe and they are so good.
i gave this recipe to my mum and she went to the tamu and markets just to find all the ingredients! Thx so much for posting the recipe!! This recipe is my mum's fav!
hi bee yin, thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I did it last week and hubby and I both love it. He has already requested that I make it again soon:)
Made an entry in my blog with step by step pictures, hope you dont mind. http://leezihong.blogspot.com/2008/10/assam-laksa-from-scratch.html
I regret not getting all the ingredients that couldn't begotten easily here in UK before I fly over..
Now, have to make do with the second or no grade ingredients I could find in Asia Market here :(
Gosh, looking over these pics at the middle of the cold winter night, my stomach growls for more..
Assam laksa is always my TOP 1 food..will definately make it one day, soon enough!
THanks for the recipe.
1. what's assam keping? peeled tamarind?- so am i supposed t buy 2 tamarinds and peel one of them?
Assam keeping or tamarind slices are pre-prepared already and made from dried tamarind fruit so it's usually dried. Buying two tamarinds and slicing them won't give you the same effect, unfortunately.
2. How do i get the tamarind juice? – do i need t pound the whole tamarind or the juice will come out once water is added?
You need to buy a block of tamarind paste from your Asian store, add water and strain to retain the juice.
3. Do i put the peeled tamarinds without crushing or anything in the pot?
Dried peeled tamarinds need to be washed clean before tossing them into the pot.
4. Can i pre-process & saute the spices into a paste and keep it in the fridge till i need t use it, or do i have t do on the spot?
If you like, you can keep the balance and use it for other things like spicy sour curries and so forth.
5. Where do i get fish sauce and what exactly is it?
Fish sauce is nampla in Thai and you can get it at any Asian store.
6. What does "1 cucumber (julienned)" stand for?
Julienne is a cooking term that refers to thinly slicing items into stripes.
my most favourite penang food,even though i am a penang girl…XD
tx to have the fantastic picture here to release my enzire
I love your recipes! Have a question and hope you'll be able to reply soon! Wanting to make Assam Laksa this weekend and have been craving for it.
Where do you get Bunga Kantan & prawn paste? I live in South Bay area, California. Haven't seen any of those in Ranch or Lions, etc. Can you tell me where you find them?
Thanks so much in advance!
Paili – you can't find bunga kantan here, I haven't seen one. For prawn paste, you can find it at Hong Kong supermarket in Monterey Park. I actually saw them at 99 Ranch before.
Thanks! Found the Scout Boy brand you were talking about at Lions.
Are you able to get your hands on a Thai Laksa recipe. There is this Penang restaurance in Megamall in KL that serves this dish and it is super yum.
Any chance that you can get your hands on this recipe ?
hey.. i love penang asam laksa .. i am not malaysian .. but i used to live in KL and every single week i came to pasar malam just to get penang asam laksa … and when i went back to asia .. i spent my time in KL and ..guess what .. in 3 days i had penang asam laksa for my lunch .. i used to make penang asam laksa but now since i move to USA .. i dont know how to find bunga kantan … ullie, can u tell me, can i get something instead of bunga kantan ? what is bunga kantan in english ? .. i tried to make penang asam laksa without bunga kantan, taste was not good at all …. :( thx !
You were asking for Bunga Kantan and here is it:
(Bunga Kantan pic: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ByuqZffv8io/R4ovesxxsSI/AAAAAAAAC9Q/isuwd2cxUkg/s400/Bunga-Kantan2.jpg
Bunga Kantan is call Torch Ginger in English
bunga kantan in english is ginger flower or bud. you may find them in chinese market/store
Assam Keping is called Asam Gelugur (scientific name is Garcinia atroviridis). It is not the same as tamarind (Asam Jawa in Malay or scientific name is Tamarindus indica ).
I love European food too (mostly French, Spanish, Italian and Belgian) but I do understand that after a while it can be a bit too much. The great thing about Penang and its hawker food: a very wide offer and as the dishes come in not that large portions you can go out and eat almost all day! Just returned a few weeks ago from Pg and already looking forward to our next trip.
(BTW also thanks for your steamed fish recipe – Am going to cook this with some local HK salt water fish.)
Great blog,
Cheers – JP

thanks for the recipe. I love asian food. By the way, is there any way to make this taste richer? what should i do to make the taste richer? I made it last night, following all the steps, but it was missing something. It tasted diluted eventhough i added all the right amount of ingredients. By the way, does the taste change if i use ready made chilli paste?

Hi there,
I think your website is brilliant! Cant wait for your book to be released.
I'm getting married to a Penang-born and have no clue what they eat. I will definitely come back; probably everyday.
The pictures sometimes make me feel like becoming a full-time cook or a full-time house-wife :D
Hi. I love your website ! Anyway, can I cook the laksa without daun kesum? Any other alternatives that I can use to make a bowl of laksa that taste just as nice? I couldn't find it around.
What other fish can i use/ suitable for assam laksa besides mackerel?
Im pregnant and i've been told not to take mackerel for it contains high level of mercury.
i love assam laksa, i try to makes assam laksa but didnt come with same test, i dont know how to makes hehehhe….

Hey RM, thank you so much for this recipe! Assam Laksa is possibly my most favourite Malaysian dish of all! :D
I've got a rather… silly question about the fish. Is Spanish Mackerel the same as the mackerel fish you used? I can only find Spanish Mackerel in the market. (seems rather expensive as well)
Thanks! :)
Thank you so much for this recipe. It was very authentic. I am in Cali as well and I just had to have my assam laksa fix, which could not be satisfied by Malaysian restaurants here!
Can I know how much serves do you get from the above recipe? I am planning of having some Malaysian friends over (and some are Penang born!) and am planning for this.
One more question which I don't understand. You mentioned to add the peeled tamarind – you are referring to assam keping, right? Then later on, add the tamarind juice (the ones with seed) to the soup. Am I getting this right?
I was just thinking of Penang Assam Laksa last night, one of
my favoirite Malaysian dishes. Very hard to get ginger flower in Sydney
too, flavor would be huge different without ginger flower! Thanks for the recipe :)
This is Thai food. Malaysians to get it done. Thais called kanomjeen
Penang used to be in Thailand. Penang has a lot of Thai people. The youth division of the Thai people as well. Are important to people every time I feel the Penang Assam Laksa Recipe adapted from Thai food is kanomjeen
Penang is in Malaysia & was never in Thailand. Asam laksa is a Penang dish

Hi, is tamarind peel (assam keping) different from the tamarind that you use to make the tamarind juice in the recipe?
I have just tried this out and it turns out awesome!! I have also tried many of your other receipes and have been enjoying it! It gives me a lot of joy to enjoy Penang food while living in the cold Scandinavia country. Look forward to more good food and thanks for this website.
Thanks for posting the recipe… Been in OZ for 3 years, sometimes have the urge for Malaysian cuisine…. Nothing like home food. You can only eat/take so much of barbies n bland food. Cheers.
Bunga kantan is only avalaible in Asia,,,we are Indonesian is commont to use it tp put in our dishes,,,,many food made from bunga kantan in our country,,,,But i missed Laksa Pinag Badly,,I never eat in any more since 1998,,,as I live in Hong Kong, where I can't find it,,,and In indonesia we don't have as well..

Renaissance Florence
May 25, 2012 76 Comments
The nice thing about going on holiday together with my parents-in-law was that hubby and I could have our twosome day out especially to a busy city like Florence which would have been miserable to our little girl who has no interest yet in history.
A very busy city which was a far departure from the tranquil countryside that we've gotten so used to, we opted to take it easy as the sweltering heat of 40°C was not that pleasant for a very thorough sightseeing. Our exploration of the city started with an unplanned side trip to a market where I found an accessible toilet. We lingered a bit at the market as I was fascinated by the many things that can be found there. It was a pretty interesting exploration as the Italian just like the Spanish and Philippine markets also sell stuffs which can be very offensive to the Dutch sensibility – cow's stomach lining (oftentimes used for dishes like callos), tongue (lengua stofado), intestine ("dinuguan" or bloody Mary), etc. There were also nice stuffs like those huge Italian cheeses, sausages, wines, pasta, dried mushrooms, and much more.
Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance has always fascinated me since high school when I had my world history subject. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever thought that one day I would be here. I would have loved to go inside the Duomo, visit the museums and really take my time to explore the city but the sweltering heat was just too much. Florence would be perfect for a pure city trip another time.
On the drive to Florence, I already told the hubby that I wanted to eat the famous "bistecca ala Florentina" which is a T-bone steak and is known to be the best in the country. Good choice but it was a huge piece of about half a kilo which he and I eventually shared. The resto where we had lunch was just in front of the Piazza de la Signorina so there was a bit of "highway robbery" for unsuspecting tourists like us.
At the very start, hubby was served a huge glass of about half a liter beer and looking at the other diners, I cannot help but wonder why every one was getting huge servings of drinks. Even children were getting big colas of half liters. Later it turned out that the beer cost almost €10, cappuccino at €5.80, etc….Well, a simple lunch for 2 can easily cost €100 if one is not conscious of the prices and why the servings are on the big/max side. Anyway, dessert was perfect – chocolate cake with layers of dark chocolates in between that melt in the mouth.
By the time that we were done with lunch, the sky has already darkened and there was the threatening downpour. We decided to just have a bit of a walk towards the Arno river which is a special feature of Florence. I've been charmed by the postcards and pictures I've seen of Florence with its enchanting bridges. Too bad that we could not linger a bit longer as we had to be back for the pizza party at Diacceroni at 5pm. It must be so enchanting to see Florence at sunset and at night time when the city basked in the evening lights. Another time, another season…then I'll also explore the Duomo, the museums, the Medici villas and gardens.
Time to head back to the garage where we parked the car. Car parking was quite pricey at €5 an hour. It was valet parking so we have to leave the key with the garage owner. Again, something new and uncommon for us.
I loved the drive back to Pelagaccio. Who won't be charmed by the beckoning sunflower fields?

wonder if you can use a vampiric sceptor instead of armor which helps going towards gunblade later.
I'm probably going to start saving for the ruins described in this guide either way but i hate the idea of cloth armor on akali unless its simply unavoidable.
"Delayed Lizard Reverse Full Clear"- is definitely a skateboard trick.
Thanks for the exact routes, I've been jungling forever but have never had an exact route for what I want in a game, everything for me is done on the fly.
What do you prefer though, obviously someone who plays akali a lot, akali jungling or akali solo lane?
To me, while akali is a decent jungler, can do it just fine, she can do amazing in a lane and get farmed up way better. I would find a lvl 9akali with a completed rylais much more threatening than a lvl6 akali with jungle items.
Dai Tensai
Great guide, but do you really need 5 points in utility?
What if you swap in an XP Quint to make that tree unnecessary, swap in an AP Mark to keep 20AP at level one, and then use the freed 5 points to max Brute Force to replace the mark and keep +10 bonus damage? Then you have 4 points more to spread around.
Here's a direct comparison, with numbers: max Harden Skin (2), Archaic Knowledge (1), max Offensive Mastery (1). Note that the last one affects abilities as well, adding two points of damage to Q (both hits) and E damage; my rune build loses 4.36 AP but her Q and E have .4 and .3 AP ratios, respectively, so that's 1.744 and 1.38 damage off each, more than offset by the extra two from Offensive Mastery. Offensive mastery will not carry over to champions, of course, but knocking 15% off of their MR with Archaic Knowledge will make up the difference. Assuming 30MR in a level 1 fight, it will take off 4.5 MR, which is good for a 3.5% increase in damage. 1.744 on a level 1 Q (86 dmg at 20AP) is only 2%. The downside is her E, for which the lost AP component was worth 5% at rank 1; Q+E is still two tenths of a point stronger single target even when both are rank 1.
Moving on to the lost bit of regen, Perserverance is 0.3 HP/5 at level 1, up to 0.75 at level 18. (According to leaguecraft, all other calculations I did myself.) The extra point off from maxed Harden Skin should compensate. Do you take more than .3 or .7 hits per five seconds when jungling? It's like having the regen up front...
tl:dr: Earlgy game you lose a fraction of a point of AoE champion damage but gain it single target. You lose a tiny, tiny bit of regen that you no longer need anymore because the incoming physical damage is reduced. You lose a reduction in death time (lol). You gain a scaling MR pen for late game. Also, you gain 0.75% more xp.
Edit: One last thing before I go to work: Don't test my modification out in the leaguecraft builder, it has the wrong values for runes and will not reflect the 20AP/10AD at level one.
I don't know if this route is possible with Mont's setup (since I'm running 9/21/0 with a Cloth Armor), but going Twin Golems->Wraiths->Wolves->Lizard allows for early, level 3 ganks and jungle invasions.
You will have no health pots going into the enemy jungle, though, and no Twilight Shroud, so it's a bit risky. Ganking, on the other hand, is pretty easy at this level.
While it does slow down your progress to level 6 by a bit (due to having to leave the jungle to gank, mostly), I've been running this path much more often to deal with overextended enemies in lanes and to get easier ganks on mid, as, generally speaking, the longer you wait on a mid gank, the harder it gets (Akali's ult does make it easier at 6 against some champs, but mids usually have escape summoner spells).
Yeah, it's definitely dangerous to invade like that. I've only invaded once at level 3 with red, and it was only because I wanted to dive the other team's mid player, who was tower hugging at low health.
I'm very glad that Akali can change up her jungle path so easily to deal with most situations.

Patient Voices Winner Kyle McClain: We Need More Tech Options!

Sweet Corn Ice Cream
I first came across the concept of a sweet corn ice cream last year and it sounded really good. I would never have thought of a corn ice cream but I liked the idea of using corn in a sweet dish. The only problem was that I had just missed the local corn season. I bookmarked the recipe and I have been impatiently waiting to try it. Now that the local fresh sweet corn is here I finally got my chance to make it. The recipe is a bit interesting as the corn cob is simmered in the milk and cream to infuse it with even more corn flavour. The sweet corn ice cream was so good!! It was well worth the months of waiting. It was the creamiest ice cream that I have ever had and it was full of sweet corn flavour. Although I enjoyed the texture of the whole corn kernels in the ice cream I think that next time I will puree them so that I can enjoy the creaminess of the ice cream even more. I think I have a new favorite ice cream!
1 ear corn (kernels reserved, cut into 1 inch slices)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg yolks
1. Simmer the corn cob in the heavy cream and milk for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the corn cob.
3. Add the corn kernels and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
4. Temper the egg yolks and add them along with the sugar and vanilla extract to the pan.
5. Cook at low heat until it thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.
6. Chill the mixture in the fridge.
7. Freeze according to the instructions for your ice cream machine.

There is no doubt social media is changing the way we personally and professionally relate to the world and to supply chain and operations management. In the last eight months, APICS hosted two world cafés exploring the impact of social media on supply chain management. We are learning that companies use social media to
- support product development through the co-creation of products
- better forecast and monitor
- distribute business processes
- derive customer insights
- disseminate marketing communications
- generate and foster sales leads
- provide customer care via social technologies
- improve intra- or inter-organizational collaboration and communication
- match talent to tasks
- improve productivity by creating one to many relationships.
Advancing Supply Chain Management via the APICS Foundation
Social media establishes new rules for relationships. And while it can bring us closer to our customers by facilitating more frequent interactions on specific topics, it cannot replace personal communication. That's why I'm reaching out to you.
The APICS Foundation is dedicated to advancing supply chain and operations management through research and education. You are all the foundation's customers, and through direct involvement, you have the opportunity to become leaders as well.

Today's food holiday is chowdah this world - January 21 is National New England Clam Chowder Day.
Let's get one thing straight off the bat: New Englanders are serious about their chowder. Chowders - a hearty soup typically made from seafood and/or vegetables - vary by region. The differences might seem subtle to the untrained eye, but to representatives of that region, they're black and white.
The main difference between a New England clam chowder and a Manhattan clam chowder is the addition of tomatoes to the latter. Italian immigrants brought tomatoes with them to the New World and they became so popular, they were put in most dishes. New Englanders disagree with this addition, so much so that in 1939, an assemblyman in Maine introduced a bill making it illegal to add tomatoes to clam chowder.
New England clam chowder is a milk- or cream-based soup that's thickened by the starch from potatoes or crushed crackers. Onions and celery sautéed in bacon fat add a salty component that complements the clams. Littleneck or cherrystone clams work best for chowders. They're cooked in salted water until the shells open, revealing the sweet and salty flesh. The liquid the clams are cooked in becomes the broth for the soup, adding extra clam flavor. New England chowders are served simply with crackers and a spoon.

Siena Poll finds Pa. up for grabs in prez race
Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes seem up for grabs in a new Siena Research Institute Poll that shows a tight race, with President Obama leading Republican Mitt Romney 43 percent to 40 percent.
The Siena College survey finds 12 percnet of the state's voters undecided. It shows Romeny winning in the Philadelphia suburbs. "With a month and two more debates to go, Pennsylvania's direction on the road to the White House remains in doubt," said Don Levy, the poll director.
Obama is viewed favorably by 49 percent of the voters, to 44 percent who view the president unfavorably, while Romney's ratio is 40 percent favorable to 49 percent unfavorable, the poll finds.
Results are based on interviews with 545 likely voters between Oct. 1 and Oct. 5, and results are subject to a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Nearly three decades after recording his No. 1 hit, "Lookin' for Love," Johnny Lee continues to wow audiences with 'real' country music. Lee, along with fellow country music legend John Conlee will share the stage at Whiskey River in Beaumont on Thursday, June 21 with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets for the show can be purchased online at whiskeyivertexas.com for $20 or at any Florida Tans locations.
Allow me to preface this with a warning: This band is not for the faint of heart. Stunt Cock is based out of Austin,Texas and play a crushing blend of metal, hardcore, and straight up rock on their eponymous debut. The guitars come out chugging hard on the track "Wishes and Fairy tales", but throw a curveball with the almost too metal for metal guitar solos. On "Lou", the band go almost rockabilly with a raspy and rapid delivery nobody, including I, saw coming.
"I used to be a woman, but now I'm a man," shouted Foxy Shazam singer Eric Nally — Welcome to Buzzfest 28.
A festival that began as a yearly event in 1995 sponsored by KTBZ 94.5 The Buzz eventually became so popular that organizers decided to do it bi-annually and it has yet to disappoint.
Ford Pavilion will host the first ever Mass Chaos Tour with co-headliners Godsmack and Staind on Tuesday, April 24 with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.
A rock concert this big means it can only be held in one place — Ford Pavilion. The Mass Chaos Tour with co-headliners Godsmack and Staind sharing headlining status will roll into Beaumont on Tuesday, April 24 with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. with a showtime of 6:30 p.m. Also performing will be Halestorm and Man Made Machine.
It would be somewhat of a fib to say the Toadies are back though they took a small break several years ago. The alternative rockers from Fort Worth have decided to return to the stage and bring along some new music with them.
Rumors swirled last year that Saliva would be no more. The once Grammy-nominated and platinum recording rockers that gave us hits such as "Your Disease," "Click Click Boom," "Always" and "Ladies and Gentlemen" would end its 15-year run after singer Josey Scott left the band at the end of 2011.
Though he was born in Mississippi, it was Houston – or Pasadena, to be exact – where Mickey Gilley laid his musical foundation. And in 1971, his signature honky tonk became a global trendsetter — Gilley's.

Steve Aoki is a musical genius. And it doesn't take someone like me to figure that out. For starters, Aoki graduated from UC-Santa Barbara with two bachelor degrees.
He started his own record label, Dim Mak, and began creating music for the masses.
Not much can be said about Bryan Adams that hasn't already been said — 12 No. 1 singles, more than 20 million albums sold and a Grammy Award. The 52-year-old still-photography guru is bringing the Bare Bones Tour to the Julie Rogers Theatre on Friday, Jan. 27, at 8 p.m. Tickets for the show are on sale now for $69.50, $49.50, $35 and can be purchased at Ticketmaster locations including the Beaumont Civic Center box office. Also, tickets purchased for the original show date of Oct. 14, 2011, can also be used.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

Save the date - Perfect!
Wine Theme Save the Date Magnets It took me months to finally decide on which save the date to order! I found these and fell in love, especially since you are able to customize! When I called the customer service line for general help/questions, everyone was so helpful and nice. Even over the online chat! I am ordering my invitations through magnetstreet just because of the service I was provided! Awesome! :)
Very nice
Wine Theme Save the Date Magnets The magnet was very nicely laid out, it was just smaller than we were expecting. The photos were also a little smaller than we had envisioned. But overall, it is a great save the date magnet and it was delivered in good time. I would definitely recommend this site to other people.
Photo card with wine motif
Wine Theme Thank You Cards i didn't like the invitation design that came with the thank you cards because I wanted the invitation to be in the shape of a wine bottle as I saw on another site, but these cards complimented the invitations & kept to the wine motif of the wedding. The quality of the thank you cards were superb. This was an older couple simple home wedding & the cards fit right into the design simple, but elegant.

Provides forms anywhere there is a wiki
Table of Contents
This plugin aims to allow for forms anywhere there is a wiki. This is meant to supersede the previously limited-scope ChecklistPlugin.
Also consider viewing the online tutorial or the documentation (docs still under development)
Let's start by looking at a simple laundry list. This list will be automatically bound to whatever page it appears in by default (this can be configured). Once the plugin is installed, simply edit a new wiki resource called Sandbox/LaundryList and chuck this in:
== Laundry list example == {{{ #!TracForm # # An example of a TracForm. The first lines can be commentary or #! commands. # #! track_fields || || '''Who''' || '''When''' || '''What''' || || [tf:wash] || [tf.who:wash] || [tf.when:wash] || Wash Clothes || || [tf:dry] || [tf.who:dry] || [tf.when:dry] || Dry Clothes || || [tf:fold] || [tf.who:fold] || [tf.when:fold] || Fold Clothes || }}}
Once saved, you should get something looking like this:
From here, you can check some things and click "Submit Query" you'll see the fields change. After a few clicks it might look like this:
Now, if you thought that was neat, make sure you have the IncludeMacro installed and fire up a new wiki page Sandbox/LaundryListUser with the following:
Note that the form is blank and you can play with the results again. This is because the default context for the form is the page URL itself! That means that as long as a form is included on a different page (and the default context is not overridden), then each page including gets its own version of the form's results. This works particularly well with PageTemplates.
Now, for more fun, do the same thing in a ticket. Once submitted, every ticket including the template will contain it's own checklist. One obvious use for this is when creating a svn commit checklist. Simply put the checklist in the appropriate wiki location, create tickets that include the location, and voila, instant commit step-by-step. Once enough of the form becomes exposed, we should be able to work this into the workflow too (no resolving before at least paying lip service to the checklist).
There is much more planned for this plugin than simply checklists. See TracFormsPlugin/Docs for more information on the various ways to use this tool.
Bugs/Feature Requests
Existing bugs and feature requests for TracFormsPlugin are here.
If you have any issues, create a new ticket.
Download the zipped source from here.
You can check out TracFormsPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
Once you have downloaded the source, do the following (your mileage may vary on the actual directory names depending on what you downloaded):
cd tracformsplugin cd trunk cd 0.11
For older versions, cd into tags and then into the desired version. For example, to use the 0.1 version:
cd tracformsplugin cd tags cd release-0.1 cd 0.11
Method 1: Lay an egg
From here, you can do one of two things. The first is building an egg to drop into your project's plugins directory or your master project's plugins directory (replace or define $TRACENV_DIR with your project's base directory):
python setup.py bdist_egg
cp dist/TracForms-0.1-*.egg $TRACENV_DIR/plugins/
Method 2: Full install
Or, you can build and install and enable the right bit in the configuration file (replace or define $TRACENV_DIR with your project's base directory):
python setup.py install
vi $TRACENV_DIR/conf/trac.ini
Within here, locate (or create) your [components] section and add the following:
[components] tracforms.* = enabled
Upgrading the database
Either of the above methods require a database upgrade...
trac-admin $TRACENV_DIR upgrade

- rd - same as 'ro', but don't display stored value but default instead
- rw - regular input behavior at all times (default)
- once - initially 'rw', but blocked ('ro') after first form submission
It's an optional argument, retaining full backwards-compatibility
with existing field definitions by choosing -mode=rw as implicit default.

The owners are particularly proud of their espresso machine, a restored antique Belle poque II made of copper and brass. Along with the small parlor inside, there's a European garden outside, with stone walls, statuary and fountains. Sipping a cappuccino here is like a dreamy little escape to Italy.

Whoa! After all this time?
From Wikipedia:Vol. 7: Sword-Bound (2013) - Upcoming
For the first time in years, life seems settled for Tiger and Del. Occasionally Tiger must dance against sword-dancers bent on killing him for forsaking the oaths and vows of the circle, but for the most part its an idyllic life. Until Tigers twenty-five-year-old son accuses him of being domesticated. Thus challenged by his own flesh-and-blood to reclaim his legendary status, Tiger, accompanied by Del and his son, embarks on a journey northward that will test his sword skill and resolve, and lead him and Del into the dangerous path of an old enemy.
Dangit, I need to find my old copies to reread! Whoada thunk they'd go back to those characters after so long?!

I am definitely not a fan of authors who try and milk a series for a thousand books, rather than come up with something new. I know some readers love it, and it certainly pays the bills, but for me there's always a point where my interest wanes and I want to see what the author can do with new characters in a new world.
That said, neither of these authors could be accused of doing that, and it's been many years since the series in question. It'll be like meeting up with old friends.
I'm a bit worried about the Tiger and Del novel, only because last time we looked in on them Tiger was getting on in years, and I'm not sure where they can go from there that would fill an entire novel. But I do love Jennifer Roberson, so I'm hoping it'll be as fantastic as all the other Tiger and Del novels before it.

New additions will add teeth to N.H.'s Right-to-Know law
Sunday, December 16, 2012
DOVER — Two changes to state law are set to go into effect in January that will strengthen the rights of New Hampshire citizens to access government records.
"An arrest is a denial of liberty, and as we all know, liberty is protected by the New Hampshire constitution," Chapman said at the April hearing. "That is a very significant event, when somebody gets arrested, and the public ought to know, 'Why did it happen?'"
As a result, municipal police departments take different approaches regarding the amount of information they provide about arrests, Chapman said.
The law stipulates that arrest records shall contain, at a minimum, the name of the individual who was arrested, the name of the arresting officer or officers, a description of why and how the arrest was made, the alleged crime and whether the arrest was made pursuant to a warrant.
"This is a law that's being violated every day, and the reason is there's no teeth in the law at all," said Giuda, who also sponsored HB1223, at a hearing in April.
Another bill passed this year that touches on public records law was Senate Bill 214, "an act relative to the applicability of the right-to-know law to public libraries."
Gov. John Lynch signed SB214 into law in May, and it took effect in July.

Don Henley Calls New Album 'A Record For 'Grown Ups'
Thursday, May 2, 2013
Although Don Henley is busy prepping for the upcoming Eagles tour, he took time out to talk about his upcoming solo project, called Cass County, which is his first new album in 13 years, and will be released in September. Cass County, which is Henley's fifth solo album, was co-produced by Henley's longtime collaborator, former Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers drummer, Stan Lynch.
Henley spoke to Jam! Music and shed some light on the album's title and back-story: "That's the name of the rural county I come from in northeast Texas. The album was recorded mostly in Nashville, with some additional recording done in Texas and California. The material on it is a reflection of a part of my musical foundation -- songs I heard on the radio and on my parents' record player in the '50s and '60s."
Although the album has one foot planted firmly in the past -- Henley maintains that the album is relevant for his audience today, explaining, "It's not exactly a 'retro' album, but neither does it reflect much of what's going on in 'modern' music. It's primarily a record for grown-ups -- people who've done some living. It explores the landscape of memory and experience. There are a few cover songs on the album, but most of the content is new, original material."
Henley went on to add: "The mood of the country has changed since the '60s. I think there's always a place for a little social commentary -- after all, that is one of the basic principles of rock, folk, blues and country music -- but you can't hit people over the head with it; you can comment, but you can't preach."
A while back Don Henley appeared on VH1 and explained the harsh realities of the music business these days: "It's tough in this business. Y'know, if you're a writer, for instance, a novelist, or a painter, you are sort of allowed to have peaks and valleys in your career. In rock n' roll, seldom are you afforded the chance to make a mistake. I mean, maybe one album, if your second or third album doesn't do as well as your first album, y'know, then they'll stick with you. But if you stay out of the charts too long, or if you don't measure up to a certain sales figure, then you get, in the term in the industry, you get dropped."
The Eagles will kick off their next set of shows on May 23rd at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Phoronix: Ubuntu Is Going After A New Linux Kernel API
In large part because of Canonical's new focus around Ubuntu Touch on phone/tablet devices, the Ubuntu developers are wanting a new revocable memory API for the Linux kernel to help in low-memory scenarios...
Hmm, how does the program know whether its variables are still allocated, or have been freed by the kernel, then? Either way that sounds like adding some processing overhead.
Just off the top of my head.
Ah well, what does it matter? Half of Phoronix will find a way to bash this idea anyway just because it comes from Canonical.
i don't see point of workaround this, only few cases will ever hit such a problem and the cause will probably be crappy apps, for example:
case 1: map images or other datasets bigger than the ram itself
case 2: infinite loops putting data on memory
case 3: very long sequential algorithms putting lot of data in ram
solution 1: use slices and threads don't be an lazy bum
solution 2: bug, use valgrind
solution 3: use OOP and memory smartly, clipper age ended years ago
solution to all 3: Cgroups memory restrictions per process which is already on kernel and usable from systemd[nih though so prolly won't happen]
Currently, the only options are to prevent processes from using that memory at all, or to kill them when memory runs out. This is a middle ground, letting them use memory if it's available, but avoiding the need for a hard kill when it's not.
I get the feeling that this marking is going to be less of "you can take this if you really need to" and more of "this is no longer allocated, but please try not to reallocate if you can so I can quickly reuse this again later".
