All the information in the Learning Center is up-to-date. Read through it first if you have any questions!
Basically, I'm seeing a lot of questions be asked and answered multiple times. For the sake of cleaning up the forum a bit, I'm just going to start making a list of commonly asked questions.
I. Items and Auras
II. Stats
III. Movement
IV. Matchmaking and Gameplay
I. Items and Auras
Q: How do items work? Do they stack?
A: All stats from items will stack additively except for those that have a UNIQUE ability. For instance, the Infinity Edge item has the following stats:
+20% Crit
UNIQUE Passive: Critical hits now deal 250% damage instead of 200%.
If you were to pick up two Infinity Edges, you would have the following stats:
+40% Crit
UNIQUE Passive: Critical hits now deal 250% damage instead of 200%.
Note that both the damage and critical chance stack additively, but because the passive to the Infinity Edge is UNIQUE, you cannot be affected by that more than once.
Q: How do item auras work together?
A: If you and a teammate both have the same item, you will be affected by the aura twice. As an example, at the start of the game you purchase Mana Manipulator. This item gives a mana regeneration to yourself and allies nearby. If you were to go with a teammate who also purchased Mana Manipulator, both of you would be affected by this aura twice.
However, if you had a third teammate that did not have the Mana Manipulator they would only be affected by one aura.
Note that you can be affected by the same aura at most twice. Once if you have it, once if a teammate has it.
II. Stats
Q: How does cooldown reduction work?
A: Cooldown reduction works additively. If you have a 9% cooldown reduction from masteries, and a 10% cooldown reduction from Stinger (an item ingame) you will have a 19% cooldown reduction. However, cooldown reduction HARDCAPS at 40%. This means that you cannot get more than 40% cooldown reduction.
Q: How does dodge work?
A: The best way to show how dodge works is an example, let's say you have 10% dodge in your runes.
10% dodge.
You grab Ninja Tabi, which gives 11% dodge.
11% dodge +
(89 * .1) = 8.9% dodge
For a total of 19.9% dodge. (Note that the 89 comes from the percent remaining from the previous dodge percentages have been calculated.)
You then get Phantom Dancer, which gives 20% dodge.
20% dodge +
(80 * .11) = 8.8% dodge +
(71.2 * .1) = 7.12% dodge
For a total of 35.92% dodge.
Q: Can you dodge spells?
A: You cannot dodge spells. The only way to not receive damage from spells is to be spell immune from one of these:
- Banshee's Veil (blocks one spell every 30 seconds)
- Sivir's Spell Shield
- Morgana's Black Shield
- Judicator's Invulnerabilty (note that unlike the others, while this one blocks spell damage, anything secondary like a slow would still happen)
Q: How does lifesteal work? (Credit to Ezreal)
A: Lifesteal IS affected by armor. If you hit for 100, they have 20% reduction, you hit for 80, you have 10% lifesteal you gain 8 hp. Lifesteal stacks additively and doesn't have a hardcap. This means that you could get over 100% lifesteal.
Q: How does spell vamp work?
A: Spell vamp works almost the exact same as lifesteal with one exception: An ability which naturally hits multiple targets (like Tormented Soil or Incinerate) is automatically 1/3 as powerful for the purposes of health gained
Q: How does armor and magic resistance work? (Credit to Garek for framing it better than I could.)
Every 1 armor means the damage it takes to kill you is extended by 1% of your hitpoints. At 100 armor, it takes 100% more damage to kill you, ie it requires double damage, ie you're taking half-damage. At 300 armor you're taking 25% damage, etc.
Magic resistance works in the exact same fashion, except it does so against spells only. There is no overlap between armor and magic resistance at all. (Ex. Having 500 Armor would have no impact on spells, having 500 Magic Resistance would have no impact on physical attacks)
Q: What order is armor penetration/MR penetration applied in?
A: From top to bottom
Armor/MR Reduction
Flat/Linear Armor/MR Penetration
% Based Armor/MR Penetration
Q: Does Armor/MR Penetration work on everything?
A: Almost everything. The only item which doesn't is Last Whisper. Last Whisper only works against champions, minions, and monsters, and only on normal attacks or spells which apply on-hit effects. A quick rule of thumb is, "If you can lifesteal from it, Last Whisper works on it."
Q: Can you reduce armor or magic resistance below 0?
A: Yes, although the only things that can reduce below 0 is Armor/MR Reduction. Both percentage and flat penetration do not have an effect after they get to 0 armor/MR.
Q: Are there any other caps that I should know about?
A: Attack speed is capped at 2.5 attacks a second.
Q: Where can I see all of these stats?
A: When you are in-game, there are four stats at the bottom (Attack, Ability Power, Movement Speed, Armor). To see other, less common, statistics like Dodge or Magic Resistance, press 'C'.
III. Movement
Q: How much movement do the different levels of boots add?
A: Level 1 adds 50, Level 2 adds 70, Level 3 adds 90, etc.
Q: How do movement modifiers work? (Credit to Larias)
A: First, you have your base movement of say 300. You add boots first, always boots first, so if you have boots added.
Let's say you get boots 2. That's 370 movement. Then, you get 35% movement speed buff from items or runes or masteries or buffs: that 370 is multiplied by 1.35, or 499.5 movement speed. If this is the only thing affecting your movement speed, the diminishing returns formula kicks in.
Now, let's say you get slowed by 38% (ashe arrows). What happens is the ORIGINAL 499.5 is multiplied by .62, and you get 309.69 movement speed. Because 309 is not above or below diminishing returns, you stay at that speed.
Q: What are these diminishing movement returns? (Credit to Guinsoo)
A: For each point of movement you would have above 490, that amount is reduced by 50%. So if your final movement speed was 748, it would be reduced to 490 + (748-490)*0.5 = 604. For each point of movement you would have above 415, it is reduced by 20%. So if your speed after all mods was 445, you would end with 415 + 30 * 0.8 = 439.
Q: Do slows stack?
A: Yes and no. Slows from items do not stack among themselves (Phage, Frozen Mallet, Rylai's Crystal Scepter). However, all other slows stack.
Just like the diminishing returns for bonus movement speed, being slowed has diminishing returns starting at and below 210.
IV. Matchmaking and Gamplay
Q: What counts as a magical attack and what counts as a physical attack?
A: The general rule of thumb is that auto-attacks (where you right-click an enemy) are physical and spells (cast with Q,W,E,R) are magical. However, there are exceptions to this rule. In the case of Ashe's Frost Arrow it still appears to deal physical damage, but the slowing affect is magical. This is why if you have Morgana's Black Shield on (blocks magical damage) you still take damage from the attack, but you do not get slowed. Another notable exception is Gangplank's Parley, which can both be dodged (can only happen with physical attacks) but can also be absorbed by Morgana's Black Shield.
Q: How do towers work?
A: Tower aggro is relatively straightforward. Going from highest priority to lowest priority (this is observed, not necessarily 100% always true):
1. Enemy champions damaging friendly champions
2. Other enemy units (Rally flag, Teemo's mushrooms)
3. Closest enemy minions
4. Closest enemy champions
One a tower has chosen to attack a champion, it will not change targets for any reason unless he has moved out of range or become otherwise untargetable.
The other important thing to know about towers is that when they attack heroes they gradually increase their damage. Ex: We'll assume the tower deals 100 damage, increases at 10% per shot, and maxes at 155%. If a champion tower dives alone and takes all tower hits, it would look like this:
85 damage (starts at 85% standard)
95 damage (increased by 10%)
105 damage (increased by 10%)
115 damage (increased by 10%)
125 damage (increased by 10%)
135 damage (increased by 10%)
145 damage (increased by 10%)
155 damage (increased by 10%)
155 damage (damage is maxed)
When the tower switches targets between champions, the damage will decrease to 125% standard if it is above that. Using the previous example:
85 damage (starts at 85% standard)
95 damage (increased by 10%)
105 damage (increased by 10%)
115 damage (increased by 10%)
125 damage (increased by 10%)
135 damage (increased by 10%)
145 damage (increased by 10%)
*Tower switches to Champion B*
125 damage (reduced to 125% standard)
135 damage (increased by 10%)
145 damage (increased by 10%)
155 damage (damage is maxed)
The only way that this damage increase will go away is if the tower hits a minion or doesn't perform an attack for 4 seconds.
Q: How does Elo work? What does it mean? Where can I see it?
A: Elo is the ranking system used in LoL. The way is works is that when you get matched up against a team, your team will be expected to win or expected to lose, depending on your Elo.
Team A - 1250 Elo Ranking
Team B - 1350 Elo Ranking
In this scenario, Team B is expected to win. If they win, they will gain less Elo because they were the stronger team going in.
Team A - 1250 -> 1242
Team B - 1350 -> 1358
However, should Team A win, they will gain more points than usual because it was an upset.
Team A - 1250 -> 1263
Team B - 1350 -> 1337
Note that this is acting as if the entire team has their own Elo, what actually happens is that a team's Elo is considered depending upon the players inside and other factors. As an example:
A pre-made comes in with these players:
Noob - 1000
N0ob - 1000
Noobie - 1000
Newbie - 1000
Newskis - 1000
Now, this team doesn't have a 1000 point rating when it gets put into the pool. What happens is that they get a slight modification (between 25 and 200 points, I think) because they are a premade, and are expected to be stronger than simple pubs. So, even though all the players are 1000 ranked, the actual team would probably be ranked 1100-1150.
There isn't any way to see your ELO ranking from Normal games. The idea there is that the matchmaking is for fun, and that you shouldn't be worried about losing. When Ranked games come in, those are where the ladders and competitive play will be shown.
Q: How is IP gain calculated?
A: You gain a set amount of IP based upon whether you win or lose (winning gives you more). However, there are also a few other modifiers as well. If it is your first win of the day, you get 150 bonus IP (so try to win at least once a day!). If you win the game in a short amount of time, you get some bonus IP. Conversely, if you lose, but the game took an hour you will gain IP for fighting the good fight. In addition, you gain extra IP for playing streaks of games without leaving. Then, if that isn't enough, you can always try out the double IP boost from the Riot Store.
Q: How do runes work?
A: The basic guide for runes can be found HERE
Q: What does this abbreviation mean? (List by DUVOIS, thanks to Toriniku for the link.)
A: You can find a good list of various phrases and terms over HERE
Going to keep adding on to this as stuff comes up, anyone feel free to help out if I missed something.
The Council
Great post, Stumpster. In my opinion a Q&A on the forums should be stickied, but this might want to be moved to the Help forum?

very nice info =D
Is the armor system the same as magic resist system you don't explain that in there and armor like in nearly all games (vesides old buggy ones) doesn't effect spell damage correct?
Thanks for the info though very useful

Deep Purple Enlist Superstar Producer For New Album
Friday, May 10, 2013
Newly released is Deep Purple's first new studio set since 2005, called Now What?! Bob Ezrin, who is best known for his work with Pink Floyd (The Wall, Momentary Lapse Of Reason, and The Division Bell), Peter Gabriel (Peter Gabriel), Kiss (Destroyer, Music From 'The Elder'), Aerosmith (Get Your Wings), Lou Reed (Berlin), and Alice Cooper (School's Out, Billion Dollar Babies, Welcome To My Nightmare), among others, was behind the boards for the new set.
Bassist Roger Glover told us that he was more than happy to enlist outside help for the band's latest album: "Very early on, we produced ourselves. All the (albums) Machine Head and Deep Purple In Rock, we all produced them ourselves. 'Cause we felt we didn't need anyone to tell us what to do. I produced the band a few times myself, and it's not an easy task -- being in the band and producing it. So I'd actually much rather have someone else doing it, if that's the case. And I think no one really wants to bother with anything else other than making the music. So, someone else has to be in charge somehow."
Glover explained that the band connected immediately with Ezrin, who was blown over by the band's musicality and power onstage: "Bob Ezrin is someone who's much more than someone in charge. He comes with a track record that's gi-normous and I have a lot of respect for him. I, y'know, love some of his productions -- before I even knew him. When he came to the show -- he came to see us in Toronto and we had a meeting the next day and he was actually surprised, I think, at what we were. He wanted to capture the feeling that he had that night in the studio, somehow."
The current lineup of Deep Purple is: Ian Gillian on vocals, Roger Glover on bass, Ian Paice on drums, Steve Morse on guitar, and Don Airey on keyboards.
Deep Purple will next perform on July 19th at Montreux, Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival.

BRK Smoke Alarms
BRK smoke alarms offer potentially life-saving coverage with a wide range of options for sensor type, including photoelectric, ionization and combination models. The choice of smoke alarm sensor type will depend on its placement. For example, photoelectric models of BRK smoke alarms might be preferred for settings that attract smoldering fires, like kitchens, while ionization only sensors help guarantee safety in bedrooms. Combination smoke detector alarms provide protection against both types of fires, which is preferred in out of the way locations like recesses and tiny hallways between rooms.
Regardless of sensor type chosen, you can be sure that your smoke detector will last for years to come as BRK smoke alarms have been a leader in the residential safety industry for well over 50 years. Westside Wholesale carries a diverse selection of BRK smoke alarms to match many different needs.
Some BRK smoke alarms can connect to other systems, creating thorough interconnectivity of up to 18 outside devices like other smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, bells, repeaters, and sirens. Battery powered and hardwired options are included in our inventory, as well, so be sure to consider which features are best for your fire safety needs. Many of the detectors feature both power types, providing a battery backup in case the power to the home or office goes out.
Here at Westside Wholesale, we're also proud to offer both the latest and time-tested models of BRK smoke alarms. We also stock BRK detector accessories like adapter plugs and alarm accessory relays to help you set up your ideal system.

How to Select
How to Shop for a Smoke Alarm
A smoke alarm is a very essential equipment that alerts everyone inside the building about a fire or smoke in the house of office. These safety devices have already saved many lives because they can detect slow burning smoke or shouldering fire and they provide homeowners with a sense of confidence, knowing that their family and property is safe. These alarms are widely used in commercial households and they are becoming very popular for residential applications as well. In addition, it is recommended that individuals install several alarms in any house or apartment – at least one should be in every bedroom, in the living room and in the hallway.
There are a variety of smoke alarms available on the market today. There are interconnected devices that sound off simultaneously as soon as one of them detects smoke. These systems are the most immediate and therefore, they give more chance to everyone in the house to hear them and get out safely. At the same time, there are two basic types of smoke alarms such as photoelectric and ionization sensor and two varieties such as battery-operated and hardwired devices.
Photoelectric detectors use a beam of infrared light that is sent by a light-emitted diode to detect smoke or fire in the building or in the surrounding. If any particles of smoke are detected, the light is deflected towards the sensing chamber and triggers the alarm. These useful devices are the best option for living rooms, bedroom and other places where smoldering smoke is more probable than flames.
Ionization detectors have a small amount of radioactive material and an ionization chamber. The chamber consists of two plates: one plate is positive the other is negative; they produce positively and negatively charged ions and cause an electric current. When smoke occurs, it makes changes in the current and triggers the alarm. These devices respond quickly to flaming fires and they are ideal for rooms that have combustible substances located within them, such as paper or inflammable liquids.
Battery-operated smoke alarms usually use 9-volt batteries as an energy source. They are cheaper, easy to install and can be placed anywhere in a building. At the same time, the batteries have to be replaced yearly and the devices of this kind usually work independently from the other alarms throughout the house.
Hardwired alarms are reliable, don't need battery replacement and allow the user save money on batteries. In addition, they are usually interconnected, but they are difficult to replace.
No matter what type of smoke alarm you decide to purchase, it should be a high-quality, fast and reliable device. At the same time, they should be checked on regular basis if they are in a good working condition and if the battery is not running low. Ideally, it recommended checking the alarm batteries at least once or twice in a month.

At PLNU, tuition currently covers only 77.5 percent of the education costs for a PLNU student. In fact, never in the history of our university has tuition covered the entire cost of a student's education. Who's paying the other 22.5 percent? PLNU receives generous financial support, both large and small, from alumni contributions, donor gifts, corporate sponsorships, and foundations.
For example, if current tuition is $26,500, and a student pays only 77.5 percent of his or her education costs, he or she is getting an unknown scholarship of about $20,000 over the course of four years.
On March 25, PLNU students will celebrate Tuition Freedom Day. The PLNU Alumni Association took the initiative to ASB leaders and Student Congress two years ago. All three have collaborated on designing this event for three years. On this day, PLNU celebrates and thanks the alumni, donors, corporations, and foundations who provide support for our current and future students.

The PLNU speech and debate team's competitive intercollegiate season has now drawn to a close with their last tournament. But the team went out with a bang at National Parliamentary Debate Nationals, hosted by Colorado College in Colorado Springs March 16 - 20.
The team ended the year as the third highest ranked school in the yearlong nationwide sweepstakes. There were hundreds of colleges and universities competing from across the nation, all in one large division at NPDA, including schools like UCLA, Cal Berkeley, and the United States Air Force Academy.
At the NPDA National Championships, the six teams representing PLNU were ranked the 8th top program at the national championship tournament sweepstakes, a ranking that counts your top four teams against all the other program's top four teams at the tournament, all competing within one senior division. PLNU has had many strong teams in the past that have not even cracked the top ten awards in that category. PLNU's 1999 team won the top spot in this particular category.
Senior and team co-president Daniel Nadal was one of only three debaters in the nation selected to this year's All American Parliamentary Debate Team. Nadal was awarded this honor based on his forensics success, high academics, and service to the community. He is now choosing which law school to attend next year.
The team of Ashley Nuckels and Ian Sharpels advanced to the double Octa Final round, and the team of Daniel Nadal and James Wilson advanced to the Triple Octa Final round. Their winning records in preliminary rounds allowed them to participate in the elimination rounds. Three of PLNU's other teams missed that opportunity by only one round.
On March 19, Dr. Doretha O'Quinn, associate dean in PLNU's School of Education and director of the Arcadia Regional Center, was honored as an outstanding African American Educator by Phi Delta Kappa, an international professional association for educators. The honor was based upon her current work at PLNU in reaching out to urban schools, previous work at Biola University and Azusa Pacific University, her publishing, and service to the wider church as a part of the board of directors for the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel.
Read more about the impact of Dr. O'Quinn in this year's annual report.
The PLNU Speech and Debate Team just won the National Championship in Debate Sweepstakes, scoring double the number of sweepstakes points of the second place school in the Debate Division of the Christian College Nationals. PLNU also won Second Place Sweepstakes in the combined division of Speech and Debate at this 2011 National Christian College Forensics Association (NCCFA) Championship Tournament, hosted at Azusa Pacific University March 11-13.
Senior Daniel Nadal, co-president of the team was named top speaker in the nation, in the Open Division of Parliamentary Debate, and all nine of the PLNU teams entered in Parliamentary Debate advanced to the elimination rounds through posting winning records in preliminary rounds.
In Lincoln Douglas debate, PLNU students won several individual national champion titles as well. MacLean Andrews is the national champion in the senior division. Also noteworthy is two brand new, walk-on debaters this year (with no previous high school debate experience), Ben Carney and Brian Bentley, were both named co-national champions after winning their respective semifinal rounds in Lincoln Douglas debate, advancing to the final round in that division's bracket.
The team has one last National Championship tournament this year. It will be at Colorado College, Colorado Springs.

San Diego leaders received actionable economic analysis recommendation on how to move forward in an ever-changing economy at the 2011 Fermanian Business & Economic Institute's (FBEI) annual economic outlook forum, "Sustaining the Expansion." Dr. Lynn Reaser, FBEI's chief economist, presented her economic forecast for the national, state, and regional economy.

PLNU's annual Writer's Symposium by the Sea has brought quite a few eye and ear catching names to campus. This year is no different.
On Wednesday, Lynn Vincent, New York Times best-selling writer of books like Same Kind of Different as Me and Sarah Palin's Going Rogue: An American Life, held an afternoon workshop on collaborative writing. In Wednesday's chapel, Mary Karr, author and memoirist of Lit: A Memoir and The Liars' Club, shared the story of her turbulent life.
On Thursday night, lyricist and musician Chris Hillman joined a conversation with Karl Martin and performed an acoustic concert. He has impacted, perhaps even defined, country rock by his work in The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers. Hillman also led a lyric writing workshop Thursday afternoon.
Friday, Rob Bell, founder of Mars Hill Church and a powerful voice in Christian spirituality, will have a conversation with Dean Nelson.

Chicken Buns Recipe (Chinese Steamed Buns/鸡仔包)
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
Chinese dim sum is my favorite. Other than the regular har gao (steamed shrimp dumplings) and sui mai, I also love steamed buns . (Previously, I made some red bean steamed buns.) I simply love the soft and pillowy texture of chinese steamed buns–known as bao (包)–filled with meat, vegetables, or a combination of both. Sinking my teeth into a steaming hot and soft Chinese steamed bun, slowly chew it to savor the flavors, and then down it with a cup of Chinese tea is a ritual that often reminds me of how great life is.
Last weekend, I had a tray of steamed chicken buns or 鸡仔包 at a dim sum restaurant; they were so good that I was longing for more after I came home. I made my own chicken buns to satisfy my craving the next day.
The toughest part of making steamed buns is the pleating and folding to make them perfect looking. I am really not good at it (as you can see from the shape of my bao!). Anyway, if you love bao or Chinese steamed buns, you can try my steamed chicken buns recipe below. The taste is rather close to the ones served at dim sum restaurants. If you like Chinese recipes, don't forget to check them out.

I love dim sum too but my favorite is char siu bao. Do you have a recipe? Anyway, chicken buns are great too but it's not as juicy. I think your did a great job in folding the bao, you really have some kitchen skills.
A guest writer is going to share char siu bao recipe with Rasa Malaysia readers. Please stay tuned. Thanks for your kind words but I am not good in the folding/pleating department, but the chicken buns tasted great.
like the new presentation slide format for the pictures..no more scrolling!
In Singapore, no chance to slowly chew and sip the tea. In US, maybe it is possible.
What is the secret to getting fluffly and soft bao? I like those done by Cantonese chef.
This looks amazing, I always love your recipes as they have never failed me! Will definitely try this, and am looking forward to the char siu bao recipe. :) x
Rasa Malaysia,
Thank you for posting all your wonderful recipes and beautiful pictures. I check your site every day to see if you have posted anything new.
The filling section of your recipe calls for the ingredients to be mixed. It calls for boneless skinless chicken breast, but doesn't elaborate on how it's prepared. Should it be ground? Minced? Cooked and shredded?
i love home steamed buns! my bf's mum makes real good ones. btw, no yeast needed for this bun recipe?
I have never had these, would love try them once as they look and the recipe sounds so delicious.
i love your chicken buns 2~~
u know it has 18个摺 ,but i cann't do it :( haha~~~
You chicken buns really look delicious. I think I am going for dim sum tomorrow for my breakfast :)
Lots of Cravings – yes, I love it, too, and it's very neat and clean looking. :)
Tiga – I will have to work on the dough from scratch next time to figure out the secret.
Su-Yin – thanks for your nice words, I am glad you like my recipes.
Ben – Hah, thanks for checking my site everyday…and thanks for catching my recipe error, the chicken meat should be cut into small pieces.
Rokh – I think the instant flour has some yeast powder in it.
Happy Cook – you gotta try Chinese steamed buns, so good, so soft, so pillowy.
Yoyo's – as you can see from my buns, I can't do the pleating either. At most, I can have 5 pleats. LOL.
CP – lucky you.
You don't cook the chicken 1st?
No, when you steam the chicken buns, the chicken will be cooked. ;)
bee, u r really talented hahaha my bao flour have been sitting in the fridge for months :p
I think we do not see chicken buns that much in Penang now, only " Bah Pao".
Hey thanks for sharing such an illustrative recipe. I am currently on a tour to Japan for a weeks time but will surely try a hand at making this dish once i reacj back home.
Excellent stuff, nicely presented and looks very delicious.
rokh said, "btw, no yeast needed for this bun recipe? …"
From the flour bag ingredients, it looks like it's an enriched flour with salt, baking powder, and baking soda added. For U.S. cooks, substituting one of the southern flours like White Lily or Martha White will suffice. Or add your own salt and leavening.
I've only made bao with yeast, like the Hawaiian kind – but I'll sure try these now – thanks for the recipe.
Hey, u can read my mind!! I am looking for a bao recipe and glad to find it here. Your bao looks perfect to me. Looking forward to reading the char siew bao recipe.
I love dim sum too.
Great shots with the steamer basket and the tea set.
I luv these Chinese "hamburgers"! ;p
Wow, I've always wanted to try my hand at dim sum. But I don't have access to steamed bun flour (I'm in India). I saw this one recipe which called for regular flour mixed with yeast and oil and stuff. I guess I'll try that!
Miakoda – dim sum is really a great sampling of Chinese cantonese cuisine. You have to try them when you got the chance. Chicken buns are not as common as other Chinese steam buns in dim sum restaurant. That's why I have to make them myself :) Let me know how your mixed dough turn out.
Does these taste the same like the ones that we had last Saturday? They were yummy! I forgot to look for steamer. Gotta remember the next time I go so I can make these.
Farina – dare I say it is better? :P
Thanks for this recipe. Do you think it's possible to replace pork to chic for siu pao filling recipe? (Have stopped consuming pork for the past 5 years.)
What is steamed bun flour? I cant find this product in the asian supermarket. Can I use another substitute for it. Thanks
This looks so yummy but I must ask dose it have to be a bamboo steamer or can it be in a pot with a set in steamer I already have?
thank again for the recipe.
Thank you so much for the wonderfully illustrated recipe! I just tried it tonight and it's awesome. I have never made any steamed buns before, and the debut went well with both hubby and the 4 yr old. I skipped the cabbage as hubby is not a cabbage eater, it was still awesome. I made another batch with ground pork and preserved veggie and mushroom.. they were good too. Thank you again for all your inspirations and hardwork!!
I had tried some of your recipe and all are very good. Thanks for the recipes. Is this chicken bun can be freeze (I need to prepare for my partner so that he can just heat up with microwave as I will be away for one month).
Thank you.
How many people does this recipe serve?
Hi, a long time fan of your blog here.
I tried making baos as well but end up with gummy/rubbery buns. Any tips to share?

You consider scheduler will raise system requirements to level you will notice this? This is bull. There are just scripts and daemons in Ubuntu which make it feel slower on older hardware. About those features it depends if you have them enabled or not. Karmic has many debbuging options and features enabled (like oops reporting, Perfcounters, AppArmor) which can make it much slower than it would be with such options disabled.IMHO, I think that two areas are mainly responsible for that performance drop: modern graphic drivers (blobs) are getting more and more complicated and designed over newest hardware.. and the kernel itself (I have modern schedulers in mind).
No, it depends what you have enabled.So.. is Linux getting more and more feature rich at the cost of getting heavier and heavier?
Not directly related, but interesting:
220.127.116.11-Linux: 1.40MB 32 or 64bit I don't remember.
220.127.116.11-Linux-ARCH: 1.80MB - Arch Linux generic kernel 64bit
Win2000: 1.61MB 32bit
WinXP: 2.03MB 32bit
WinVista: 3.30MB 32bit
I'm not sure, but it's probably enough to change file system options to have much different results. Some older Ubuntu could use writeback mode which is faster and some newer one ordered mode which is slower, but safer for data.Anyone has different opinions or more clues to explain the results of the test?

Toughening it out when the temperatures drop
Animals amazingly adapt to Wisconsin's wild winters.
It can be tough for humans to stay warm in the winter. Imagine having to go it alone with just the fur, fins or feathers on your back? How do animals survive Wisconsin's winters? We asked some of DNR's conservation biologists, Richard Staffen, Bill Smith and Rori Paloski about animals that have adapted to these cold climates.Read full article

Describes the founding, early growth, and expansion plans of New Leaders for New Schools, a nonprofit public education venture that recruits, trains, places, and supports principals in U.S. urban school districts. This case presents the strategic, financial, and operating issues that arise as New Leaders' senior management team tries to transition their organization from a start-up two years after the creation of the company, to a mature and fully stabilized company capable of influencing national reform of school leadership practices. Focuses significantly on New Leaders' choice between two alternative ten-year growth strategies. One plan calls for New Leaders to expand aggressively by raising approximately $100 million in outside investment, opening principal recruitment and training programs across the country, and reaching millions of students through its principal corps. An alternative plan envisions New Leaders as a smaller and more focused organization that works closely with carefully selected school districts and charter school operators to demonstrate the impact on student achievement of well-designed school leadership practices.
learning objective:
To understand New Leaders' strategic, financial, and operating model, to analyze the scalability of New Leaders' model under various scenarios, and to evaluate the ability of the public education sector to attract talented entrepreneurs and managers.
subjects covered:
Decision making; Entrepreneurship; Leadership; Nonprofit organizations

The Big Pine Lady Warriors hosted Lee Vining Thursday and sent the TigersŌĆÖ volleyball squad back up the hill with a 3-0 sweep.
In game one Melissa Barlow executed a kill, putting Sienna Gutierrez at the service line. The score was 3-2 and Gutierrez went on a 6-point run.
Lee Vining couldnŌĆÖt close the gap after GutierrezŌĆÖs serve, only getting a couple of point breaks from Mackenzie Kendall and Marie Lightner. Big PineŌĆÖs Anah-Kee Mason and Gena Lewis had multi-point runs at the line. Mason ran up 5 service points and Lewis added 6. The final score in game one: 25-11
The Bishop Lady Broncos tennis team claimed the High Desert League championship with a 13-5 win over the Kern Valley Broncs Thursday.
In singlesŌĆÖ action, Laura Rossy won 6-0, 6-1, with one 4-6 loss. Gabby Morales swept at 6-3, 6-0, 6-0.
ŌĆ£Kerisa (Isaac) had a great match against KernŌĆÖs number three seed,ŌĆØ said coach Patty Cummings. Isaac won, 6-3, but lost the next two 0-6, 1-6.

Although the Bishop Lady Broncos and Kern Valley Lady Broncs are equal in name, the BroncosŌĆÖ volleyball squad proved to be the superior team as they scored a sweeping victory on home court Thursday afternoon.
The weather was perfect, Tungsten City Hills were impressive and the Bishop Broncos Cross Country teams couldnŌĆÖt have hoped for a better outcome as they held their first High Desert League home meet Wednesday afternoon. Both the boys and girls teams scored perfect 15s.
The Boron Bobcats headed to Lone Pine Thursday afternoon and left with their collective tails tucked between their legs. The Lady Golden Eagles volleyball team beat the Bobcats 3-1.
ŌĆ£We used a balanced attacking game and scrappy defense to keep the upper hand,ŌĆØ said coach Mel Joseph. ŌĆ£We played with determination in games one and two.ŌĆØ Lone Pine won the first two sets, 25-18 and 25-21.
The Eagles fell back on their heels in game three, losing to the Bobcats 19-25.
In a game of five rapid sets, BishopŌĆÖs Lady Broncos volleyball squad fought hard against Frazier Mountain to earn the victory in the tie-breaker.
Though itŌĆÖs still early in High Desert League action, the win over the Frazier Falcons was a near-necessity in the Broncos run for the league championship.
Game one was a reflection of the entire match. Neither team enjoyed more than a 3-point advantage through to the 23-25 win for the Falcons. For every points run from the Broncos, the Falcons answered with heavy fortification at the net.
The Bishop Broncos football team can clear the slate and start from scratch tomorrow night at Cal City. ItŌĆÖs the first High Desert League game of the season and BishopŌĆÖs 0-0. The teamŌĆÖs 2013 pre-league season has been a rough one.
The Broncos faced off against the Desert Scorpions last Friday night on the road in what certainly qualifies as the hardest-fought game of the year.
The Lone Pine Lady Golden Eagles traveled to Mammoth to take on the Lady Huskies (ranked number 3 CIF Division V-AA) Tuesday afternoon and were defeated 9-25, 15-25, 17-25.
Unlike last FridayŌĆÖs team effort, the Lady Eagles were never able to find their rhythm and passed out of system. ŌĆ£We had no offensive production and defensively did not play with intensity,ŌĆØ said coach Mel Joseph.
Shawni Patton: 100% serving, 13 assists, 5 digs
Amanda Barlese: 100% serving, 2 kills, 2 blocks, 10 digs
Maureen Cariou: 100% serving, 6 kills, 3 blocks, 7 digs

Mars War
Mars War Overview
Mars Wars is a MMOFPS with persistent battles that take place on large maps and support hundreds of players. The gameplay and visuals for this free to play game were obviously inspired by Planetside. The game has keyboard controls and gives players a ton of weapons, armor types, and vehicles to chose from. Players fight for control over key bases scattered across the map using airplanes, large terrestrial vehicles, and a variety of body suits. Mars War has a small file size which makes it easily accessible but suffers from a low playerbase. While it still has a lobby, its much closer to being a full fledged 'MMOFPS' than other games in the genre.

Chocolate Chip and Sour Cream Banana Bread
My freezer was filling up with over ripe bananas that needed to be used. Since I really enjoyed that banana bread that I had made a while ago I though I would make another one. This time instead of making a plain banana bread I though I would make it a bit more exciting. I decided to add chocolate chips, walnuts, sour cream and some cinnamon. One of the reasons that I like banana bread so much is that I really enjoy the aroma of baking bananas. The cinnamon in this banana bread made the aroma even better. This banana bread turned out really good. I had a slice while it was still warm from the oven and the chocolate chips were still slightly melted and it was really good. I ate the banana bread for breakfasts during the week. I placed some of the banana bread in the fridge so that it would still be good by the end of the week. One morning I did not heat the chilled banana bread up and I found that I liked the texture of the solid chocolate in the banana bread. The chilled solid chocolate chips made you chew more to find all of them and thus you enjoyed the flavour of the bread longer.
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup sour cream
3 overripe bananas (mashed)
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)
1. Mix the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
2. Cream the butter and brown sugar in another bowl.
3. Stir the eggs, sour cream and banana into the butter and sugar.
4. Stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
6. Pour the batter into a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
7. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until a tooth pick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 60-70 minutes.

Because of obsolescence and EOL status.
In fact, let's take it one step further. Why even upgrade your OS? Let's all stick with Ubuntu 7.04 and all other distros' equivalents at that level since nobody needs to use GTK3 and QT4 and the latest additions to the GCC compiler and the glibc / libstdc++ libraries. GTK2, QT3 and old versions of GCC and the C libraries can still compile most of today's open source software, so why bother upgrading to newer libraries that nobody needs?

Hardware costs money to upgrade, software upgrades are free.
I have nothing to lose when I upgrade my software (other than stability, in the worst case), I do however, lose money by upgrading my hardware, therefore I must first look to see if it is "worth" upgrading. If my "obsolete" hardware can do the work just fine, why should I waste my money.
By the way, the same thing can apply to proprietary software, take for instance Photoshop, why upgrade from CS4 to CS5 when CS4 can do everything you need to be able to do? I am mainly talking about FOSS, however.

And software upgrades are never free. Red Hat charges for upgrades. Microsoft and Apple charge for upgrades. Oracle and IBM charge for upgrades. SAP charges for upgrades. So you telling me that server admins running Red Hat / Microsoft servers loaded with Oracle / IBM / SAP applications should never upgrade their systems because their software updates are not free.

Hastening spring with bulb buys, indoor bloomers
Sunday, April 21, 2013
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of cold, raw, rainy days. And I really don't want any more snow or slush. We've had some good warm and sunny days, but I know I shouldn't expect them consistently yet. There are things I do to make me feel like spring and summer are on the way, even when it's sleeting outside.
Now is the time to order spring bulbs – I know where the holes are in my planting space, and I know what I need to order. So I called Becky Heath, co-owner of Brent and Becky's Bulbs in Gloucester, VA to order up more spring bulbs to plant next fall (www.brentandbeckysbulbs.com or 804-693-3966). I asked for the very earliest of crocus, as I mostly have late-blooming ones. Becky suggested 'Blue Pearl' and "Blue Bird' (both varieties of Crocus crysanthus) as good early bloomers, and a species called Crocus tommassinianus.
Pussy willows are starting to appear along my stream, and I will go pick some this week. The gray furry "pussies" are actually the flowers of a type of willow. If you pick them when still closed up, put them in water to get them to open. If they look fine when you pick them, just place them in a dry vase. They will not change in appearance if you keep them dry. In water they will go through their life cycle, producing yellow pollen and dropping it on your table.
If you planted tulips last fall, the foliage should be showing by now. Deer love tulips, and some of my gardening friends have given up on them because of the deer. My suggestion? Put chicken wire teepees around clumps of tulips now, and keep them in place until after they have blossomed. And pick the blossoms when they are just about to open up. Most of us spend more time in the house than in the garden, so having cut flowers indoors makes sense to me.

I wondered about it. James Suckling blogged about it , too.

The British wine market loves screw caps. This is mostly due to the dominance of supermarket chains such as Tesco and Sainsbury, which sell masses of wine with screw caps. Most of their wine is around $5 or $6 a bottle and is consumed immediately.

"Does that bottle need to be decanted?" This is one of the more frequent questions I get asked while at work. It seems as though everybody has a different criteria for when to decant a wine. Through experience, I've learned that there are basically three reasons to decant: If a wine has so much sediment in it that it would hamper your enjoyment of it; if it is so young and tight that it demands additional air to force it to open up; and, simply, if the customer requests it.

What makes a food-and-wine pairing great? My thought is that if I have to explain the pairing to you, then I failed. It doesn't matter how great I think a match is if you don't "get it." In essence, the most important factor when choosing wines for a meal is knowing something about the palates of the people for whom you are doing the pairing.

As for Microsoft, they will... continue to be Microsoft. And while they continue to use licences like this, I'll continue to be wary of even their free offerings:
3. That Microsoft is granted back, without any restrictions or limitations, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, assignable and sub-licensable license, to reproduce, publicly perform or display, install, use, modify, post, distribute, make and have made, sell and transfer your modifications to and/or derivative works of the Software source code or data, for any purpose.
Nokia's involvement should not be a surprise, especially not to phoronix.
They have been working on meltemi as a replacement for symbian in the mid range ever since the switch to wp7 from meego at the high end.
Diablo, fremantle, (meego) harmattan, and meltemi all being "wind" based internal codenames for Nokia Linux platforms.
Nokia selling off the commercial arm of qt should be no surprise either, it was only a core business activity when it paid for development in an independent trolltech, and Nokia immediately lgpl'ed qt on buying trolltech and what do they care about managing a few million in commercial licenses?

No, it doesn't. It depends on it's own bastardized lib versions, not Windows system libs because you can't link gpl3 code to incompatibly licensed libraries without violating copyright.(It actually depends on several Windows system libraries.)
Try it yourself, link hello world with msvcrt.lib instead of libmsvcrt.a

Information about Germany
Deutschland magazine: Excellent, international, cosmopolitan – why German education is special
A total of 300,900 international students were enrolled at German higher education institutions in the 2013/2014 winter semester – and Germany would like to interest even more talented young people from abroad in the academic training it offers. The special feature on education in the latest issue of DE Magazin Deutschland presents a much broader view of the subject and, among other things, provides detailed insights into the global work of German schools abroad with interviews and portraits. They aim to foster a culture of welcome – as does Aydan Özoğuz, Federal Government Commissioner for Migrants, Refugees and Integration, in a DE interview. An article by Berlin-based author Uwe Rada on the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Wall takes readers on an expedition into the past.

When I saw this thread it reminded me of my kit. Somewhere in my shtuff is the 50 gallon barrel stove kit.Back when the fuel oil drums were heavy duty, this kit was used all over up here. Cut a hole for the door and bolt on the kit's door, cut a hole for the chimney and bolt on the chimney. Put it on the kit stand and you have an almost airtight wood stove. The kit lost a lot of value when the fuel drums became flimsier. But it still would be real handy for wilderness cabins. Damn, I just wish I could find it.
Thanks Doc, Amish,If I can't find mine, I may just have to buy another one. Does anyone know what the double Barrel stove is for? Two stoves--one chimney? Grabbing the waste heat from the smoke?Smoking meat and Fish?

Joomla 1.6 includes a basic way to implement a multi-language site. This feature does not work as an association-type display where each content, whatever it is, has an equivalent in another language (it does not replace other multi-lingual extensions managers, such as Joomfish).
This is why using the Language Switcher Module to change language is set to redirect to another Content Language Home Page. To be able to implement the feature, 7 aspects have to be dealt with.
There, one can create a "Content Language", even if the site language is not yet installed.
Not only Articles but everything is taggable to a specific Content language. Modules obviously but also Categories, Banners, Weblinks, Newsfeeds, Menu Items...
As the Language Switcher Module is set to redirect to another Content Language Home Page, one has to be defined for each language.
Important Note: A default Menu containing a Home page menu item tagged to "All" should still exist, and the menu module displaying it should not be published.
This plugin filters the displayed content depending on language. This plugin is to be enabled -only- when the Language Switcher module is published.
This module displays a list of available Content Languages (as defined and published in Language Manager Content tab) for switching between them when one wants to use Joomla! as a multilanguage site.
The plugin 'System - Language Filter' has to be published. When switching languages, the module redirects to the Home page defined for the chosen language. Thereafter, the navigation will be the one defined for that language. If the plugin 'System - Language Filter' is unpublished, this may have unwanted results. Method:
* Make sure both the module and the plugin are published.
If one wants to use different templates styles per Content language, instead of defining for each menu item a different template style, one can assign globally a template style per language when editing it in the Template Manager. This is very handy when one needs to use different headers, logos, etc. for each Content language. It also covers any issue arising from loading a page not linked to any menu item where the default template style would be used, whatever it is.
Last but not least, each content language to be displayed should have the Joomla site language pack installed and enabled.
Obviously, Sample data is not the best way to demonstrate easily the power of this new Feature. But one can test a simple site with the following actions using the temporary test language xx-XX. One prerequisite is that it should remain a Home menu item tagged to "All" and defined as default Home, the module displaying it being unpublished or assigned to a non available position in the template
Tip for a fast test: [Tag the Park Home menu item to en-GB and as Default Home, same for the Fruitshop Welcome menu item tagged to xx-XX and set as default home for this language. Make sure the langfilter plugin is published and that the langswitcher module is published and assigned to position7 for the 2 home pages]

I did not see this ornament since it was sent to another city but it seemed to be well received.

This is, by far my favorite. Ordered it for myself and will find a place of prominence on our tree this year. Big and heavy , be careful hanging it :)
