Crispy Pork Belly Recipe (Siu Yuk/烧肉)
Recently, Alice and Jared of Eat A Duck I Must and I bonded over Penang street food as the cute couple just came back from Penang not too long ago. After intensive tweeting about the subject of food, I invited them to guest post on Rasa Malaysia. Alice kindly accepted and offered their crispy pork belly/siu yuk (烧肉) recipe. Eat a Duck I Must (the name is as cute as the couple) is a great food blog about their eating trips and home-cooked meals. Other than working full-time, blogging, and traveling, Eat A Duck I Must also offers photography services. Please give your warmest welcome while you drool over their Chinese roast pork. If you wish to view their step-by-step photos, click on the gallery above.
In the last few years, it seems that pork belly and bacon are making a big comeback on the food scene. Everywhere you turn, you see bacon—bacon dipped in chocolate, bacon mayonaise, pork belly sandwiches, braised pork belly, bacon ice cream, bacon wrapped bacon… (I blame you David Chang and Michael Ruhlman!) So to add to this pork belly craze, we have decided to make the popular Chinese Crispy Pork Belly (Siu Yuk/烧肉).
Typically, Crispy Pork Belly is a dish you would eat at Chinese banquets or pick up as carryout for a special occasion at home from a Chinese BBQ shop strictly dedicated to roasting pork, duck, goose and chicken over an open fire or wood burning rotisserie ovens. Growing up, this was one of my all time favorite dishes. The crispy crunchy skin crackles as you take your first bite only to reveal the mouthwatering fat that sits right below. And then at long last you taste it all together with the savory pork belly meat. It's awesome. And if you plan on getting the belly meat from the BBQ shop, you better get there early as it is usually the first item to be sold out. The next best thing is to make your own.
Now, we don't all have the luxury of having a large rotisserie oven or an open pit constructed in our backyards so we've learned this homecooked version from Jared's aunt. Jared's aunt is one special lady. Thinking about her cooking makes me drool. Every time we head over there for a meal, there seems to be a huge feast with at least 6-7 dishes, not including the obligatory Cantonese soup. There usually isn't a special occasion to celebrate, it's just dinner. Our absolute favorite dish is her homemade crispy pork belly. Most homemade recipes call for the pork belly to be baked, which can take hours to crisp up the skin and can dry out the meat in the process. Jared's aunt's secret comes from frying the skin. This allows the skin to reach the perfect amount of crispiness in the shortest amount of time. Honestly, we've all started to prefer this homecooked version over the professional BBQ shop takeout version—and that is saying a lot!
Jared and I spent the last weekend persuading her to divulge her secret recipe and we've tested the recipe at home to make sure it is foolproof. I present to you the Crispy Pork Belly Recipe!!

gosh i've never ever thought of making my own siu yuk. the very thought of it is just too… daunting! first time i've seen this frying method of making siu yuk. dare i venture into the kitchen to make this? perhaps… perhaps… :)
Lingzie, my thoughts were the same before I learned how to make it, but this recipe is actually very easy and the results are amazing. I think the hardest part is fighting over who gets the last piece. Do try it and let us know if you have any questions.
This crispy pork belly actually tasted really good with stir fried morning glory. Thought it was a bit plain to just wok toss the morning glory the thai way, so threw in some chunks of pork belly.
i'm still staying away from making any, still hvnt gotten over cleaning the oven hahaha but those in the pic really make me hankering for some now
WOW. Photos. JUST WOW!!!!
You had me at pork belly!
Pingback:Crispy Pork Belly Recipe (Siu Yuk/烧肉) | Easy Asian Recipes at … Eating
I've been a lurker for quite some time and wanted to finally let you know how helpful I've always found your recipes. My husband and I adore traditional Asian recipes and between you and Jen Yu of use real butter we've got it made! It's been especially fun since my husband learned Mandarin to add to his Korean – now I can drag him shopping with me to get the ingredients nearly anywhere!
Again – thank you. I love your site and all your recipes.
Now if we could just get a recipe for soup dumplings…
Oh man, that looks amazing! I love good pork belly!
Wow, this roast pork belly is definitely better looking than the ones in Chinatown!! Thanks for the recipe!
Pork heaven :) Crackling heaven :)
Pork crackling! yumyum
I stayed awake all last night just dreaming about this wonderful crispy pork belly.
YUMM!! Me wants some right now.
This is making me drool! I really, really want to try and make pork belly but I have always been kind of intimidated, it is on my bucket list for 2010!
looks amazing, can't wait to give this recipe a shot!
Hi Jared & Alice,
Thanks for sharing this siu yuk recipes. I will definitely give this recipes a try. They look wonderfully delicious, especially the crackling.
Christine, I am glad you like the recipe. Once you try this, you will never go back to buying it from the BBQ shops. Let us know how it turns out.
Hi Jared and Alice,
I tried your recipes today, it's really delicious. I boiled the belly for only 35mins to ensure that's not too tough and still tender, I marinated it overnight-the taste of spices more absorbed, and I did scores the skin with sharp knife and rub with some sea salt.
Yes frying the skin is a bit of oily mess but the end result is worth it. I will try using cast iron pan with heavy lid to fry next.
Thanks for this lovely recipes again
Christine, thank you for trying our recipe. Yes, it does get kinda messy, which is why I fry it in a dutch oven or a cast iron pan with a heavy lid to prevent splatter. Fresh Siu Yuk made at home is so much better than store bought, glad you liked it.
lovely recie, i love it! it looks sooo yummy, cheers from london
Delicious looking. The recipe is very different from the traditional siu yuk recipe though. But who cares as long as the end result is the same. LOL!
I love this stuff! The method is a great one. I'm going to adapt it for the Mexican restaurant I work in by changing the spice profile. It will be a wonderful bar snack served with some pickled vegetables. That's why I cook mostly Asian and Latin cuisines..both have a deep and abiding appreciation of pork!
Just what I'm looking for… thanks. What is spiced ginger powder?
Spiced ginger powder is grounded up ginger powder you can get at Asian grocery stores.
That first photo is priceless! What gorgeous looking crispy skin! This is so something I would love :) I for one am loving the popularity that pork belly (one of my favorite cuts of meat) and bacon are enjoying :)
Great recipe!
Kudos to you!! I'd like to make siew yoke someday because my entire goes nuts for it LOL!! Thanks for sharing!!
First of all, thanks for the great recipe!
I always craved Roast pork and always thought of making my own but failed at several attempts to make the skin crispy. I've tried your recipe and it tasted great. The only thing I would say is that the meat was slightly hard but still edible.
I tasted the meat after it was boiled and it already tasted kind of chewy. Is there a way to tenderise the meat before boiling?
Vinnie, i am glad you tried the recipe and liked it. One thing you can try is to stab the meat with a knife to tenderize it prior to boiling. Also, you can try reducing the boiling time to 30 mins.
You shared a recipe for char siu on april 19, 2009. You used chinese rose wine. Do you mind if i ask why and why not just use a regular bottle of cooking wine? I have to go around town now to look for chinese rose wine and i cant find it. Another recipe you shared requires the use of chinese rice wine. :-( Grrr. Problem is i'll probably use both types of wine maybe once or twice in a whole year if i'm lucky.
Hi Jared, Thanks for the great recipes.
Mr. Wood, thanks should be given where & when it is needed. If the recipe asks for a certain ingredient & you find it troublesome or have difficulties looking for it, then do not try it. Remember you cannot expect everything to be handed to you in a silver platter. If you think that it's wasteful to buy something when you will only use it once or twice, then forget about it.
I have tried recipes where I had to look into a dictionary to find out what some of the ingredients were, but I did go about complaining to anyone.
I am not trying to be nasty, but we need to be thankful to the person who has generously shared his recipes with all of us.
:) Thanks for the recipe! I tried this recipe today and it turns out perfect :)
I boiled it for about 30mins, dried it for about another 20mins and then proceed to marinate it. I couldn't find the spiced ginger powder on such short notice (I saw your siu yuk recipe this morning before I went to the market) – so I used ginger juice instead. I'm still an amateur but the siu yuk turns out very well.
Thanks again for the recipe!
Thanks for this recipe! Easy and amazing result! home made siu yuk couldn't be easier. Many thanks again my hubby was delighted, the Malaysia flavour come to Lyon with this dish.
hi, its me again :) from dubai.
we also have crispy fried pork belly recipe in the philippines, it is known as lechon kawali. here is what i do. i just wanted to share with you.
put water in the pan (enough to cover the pork belly) add minced garlic, salt & pepper and 3/4 can of SPRITE! yes, SPRITE. don't ask why. :)
boil pork until tender, drain water, leave out to cool. once it is cool, put pork in a ziploc and freeze for a few hours.
when you are ready to fry the pork, just heat oil in a low fire till very hot (be patient), put the frozen pork, and run far far away as it will splatter. if splatter stops and you check that skin is not so crunchy, add a few drops of water into the oil for it to splatter. (yes i am afraid this is a masochistic dish)
we have it with a sauce called "mang tomas" that you can buy probably at the asian grocery. this is a sauce that we use for suckling pig (instead of hoisin sauce that Chinese normally use)
just thought you would find it interesting.
Undoubtedly the best asian/chinese food blog I've come across in about 6 months of on/off searching. Thank you so much, please keep up the great work.
Pingback:Crispy Roast Pork Belly – Siew Yuk (烧肉)
Hi Jared and Alice,
Thank you for sharing your recipe. Today I christened my new La Creuset dutch oven with your crispy pork belly recipe. The end result was great and fed three adults.
You were right with your caution – the oil really splattered everywhere whenever I lifted the lid for a peek or to turn the meat. My tip is to wear kitchen mitts on both hands plus cover your forearms with tea towels to prevent oil splattering your arms.
The steps I modified were to boil the pork for 30 mins, then stab the meat all over before rubbing the spices on it. I also left the meat to marinate in the fridge overnight (with the skin side up) uncovered.
I'm not sure how you kept your pork belly edges all neat, flat and square when frying, but when I started cooking the belly in the vegetable oil, I took it out and cut my piece in half and then reinserted both halves (skin side down) back into the oil. I did this as the pork skin wasn't flat and so only the middle bits were crisping up, leaving the edges 'un-crispy'.
Would placing a plate over the belly, with a heavy weight on top of the plate, during the marinating stage, perhaps help level out the pork belly skin for frying? or does this affect the layer of fat under the skin? Happy to hear your feedback.
Thanks again for a great recipe. All the best.
Excellent recipe. Thank you for making it available. I tried it successfully, today. I used a 1/2-lb. piece of pork belly that I had cured in salt for five days. I therefore cut back on some of the dry seasoning, but otherwise followed the cooking times exactly. Got a picture-perfect, brown crispy skin and was pleased to learn that the boiling returned enough moisture to the cured belly to keep it from drying out while frying.
I served the belly sliced on top of oven-baked polenta (Joy of Cooking recipe, with cheese).
I thought roast pork suppose to be roasted and not fried? 8-)
This is my version http://www.go2wellington.com/2008/02/19/%E8%84%86%E7%9A%AE%E7%83%A7%E8%82%89/
Check this sui yuk recipe. looks good.
This receipe looks very good. this method may also not burn the skin.
I can't take any recipe seriously that adds MSG.
I can't take any person seriously that doesn't really understand MSG.
I was captivated by the photo & had to try this recipe.
Tasted SO good we will definetly enjoy having it again.

Hi Rasa Malaysia!
When you say boil the pork, do you put it in cold water then boil to boiling point or put the pork in when the water is boiled?
Pingback:Guest Post @ Rasa Malaysia, Crispy Pork Belly 烧肉Eat A Duck I Must! | Eat A Duck I Must!
Looks like a terrific recipe. I love pork belly and recently found the meat for sale at our local Asian grocery. Will have to try it soon!
One question – a couple of comments talked about reducing the boiling time to 35 minutes or 30 minutes. But if I'm reading the recipe correctly, it only calls for boiling the meat for 15 minutes. Can you clear this up for me?
Thanks – great blog btw!
all-time favourite appertizers, snacks, side-dishes, breakfast, lunch, dinner……. yum yummmmmmmmmmmmmm……………
i am of Chinese decent..and having lived in western Canada for 40 yrs i have lost my colour…my passion these days..cooking ..European cousines, e.g, Tuscany, French
for most people, it's cheaper to buy the bbq pork than to spend time to try to make it, and with no guarantee of success….but guarantee of repeated failure..but there are things that are beyond money…
my interest in bbq pork started when i saw a video clip of chef gordon ramsay making pork belly…he's good..but i am going to make a better dish ..to show off when i entertain my neighbours in the backyard during summer bbq..
i have researched extensively on the internet..and cook books..tried doing it in the overn..and i agree that it's not worth the effort…doing it in the frying pan..eh..i have achieved success..and received good comments … i havent perfected the technique..but i will try again..and report further…also, i will try it on the grill (bbq) but i suspect similar results to the frying pan…i think using the grill will give me the ultimate satisfaction to perfect bbq pork belly..(like it with the bone)..and impress my friends..along with a bottle of wine…mmmmm…will report further
I think there may be an error in this recipe which is making the meat tough? The detailed recipe says to boil for only 15-minutes, but the comment under photograph #4 says to boil for a full hour? Thanks!

This is one good website. I specially like the pictures for every procedure. Good Job!
hi, where can one get the spiced ginger powder?
Like @saychinso, I am also curious to know where you can buy spiced ginger powder? What is it exactly? Is it the same as dried ginger powder? Thanks!
I did a little different technique to prepare it based off of different chef's techniques. The meat turned out great (like butter):
10h Dry brine with half sugar/salt (chang)
3h confit in it's own juices @ 200 (keller)
1 day pressed in the fridge (keller)
Unfortunately, my pork skin wasn't nearly as puffy and light looking as yours. I followed the rest of the directions but I think I might have not fried it long enough. I fried at 350 and turned it around 3 minutes because it was golden and I was afraid of burning it. There was no way I was going to waste 3 days work :-)
Do you think it was the fry time or do I need hotter oil?
In the ingredients, did you mean Garlic powder instead of Ginger powder? Thx.
Hi Rasa Malaysia,
May I know what spiced ginger powder is? I couldn't find it at the Asian Mart. They only have ginger powder (薑 粉). Is there any difference between the沙 薑 粉 and薑 粉?
This is my absolute most favorite dish in the whole wide world. Thank you soooooo much for this recipe. I'm going to try it ASAP and then every day for the rest of my life if it goes well! hahahaha
I would never thought to make my own shiu yuk. I am originally from Msia and has lived in US for 15 years now. I used the recipe from your Rasa Malaysia book. The roasted version vs. this deep fried recipe. It was simple and came out awesome. Better than some of the shiu yuk you get from the store. The trick is the preparation of the skin.. lots of hard work and it does pay off. I made it twice for parties for local friends here, that is one of the crowd favourite. Thanks for the recipe.
SooWai, so which version do you prefer, the roast or fried? I usually roast mine but I am thinking of trying this method. Thanks!
Hello, the slideshow above specifies a 1 hour braise for the pork belly, but the recipe specifies 15 minutes. I can only imagine that a 15 minutes braise will give you a very tough belly. Something is not right ! Thanks.
looks so good… i really want to try this! but how hot should the oil be? thanks!
What is Spiced Ginger Powder ?Where do I get it?
I am also curious about the cooking time – 15 min in the recipe vs 1 hr in the photo slides. And also, what is the difference between the two kinds of ginger powder that a previous comment mentioned. Thank you! It looks like a beautiful, delicious recipe.
Hei, tanks a lot for your Nice recipe. But can you let me know how hot should the oil be???
Hi.. May I know what's the temperature for oven?
cool.. i like this web.. allow me to cook all the food i cant get in germany(i'm from malaysia) since i'm sudying here…malaysian's food… deabak!!!
thanks for the recipe…
Can i use a regular oven? If yes, may i know the temperature and how long should i cook it?
Hi, may I know where can I get the oven-roasted version of Siu Yok? Thanks!
i am also a penangite living overseas but pregnant now so craving unusually badly for penang and mommy's home cook food. thank goodness i come across your recipes and get very tempted to try this out, but i also read another blog on roasted pork belly emphasizing the thickness of fresh pork belly not less than 1.5-2 inches. in italy where i live, the pork belly is usually ~1 inch thick and the butchery confirmed not having come across such thick belly i need in italy. question to you, does thickness matter in your deep fried version of pork belly? will 1 inch be fine?
What is spiced ginger powder? Is this different from regular ground ginger? Where can I find it?

That's right folks, the one time show runner of The Walking Dead and director of The Mist is now taking on Godzilla. He is not directing the big green guy's film, he is only working on the script. Deadline.com had this to report:
"Frank Darabont, who veered into genre territory by launching the AMC series The Walking Dead, has been hired by producer-financier Legendary Pictures to do a final rewrite on the script that was written by The Seventh Son scribe Max Borenstein"
This comes at almost the eleventh hours as production of the film is to being in March. The film will still be directed Gareth Edwards (Monsters) and has a release date for May 16, 2014.
deadline is also reporting how the film may now be going to be embroiled in a legal battle. Paramount is suing to remove some of the old producers and they're suing Paramount to halt production.

Darabont is riding on top of Godzilla?
Braver man than me.
Who needs Godzilla, when we've got Pacific Rim coming out?!
Plot? It is Godzilla. We don't need plot. That's what they tried to do with the last American verison. Put the focus on the humans. Honestly, we just want to see to giant monsters fight.
BTW, what happend to that genre TV show that Darabont was working on? It was going to star the actor who played Shane in TWD.
BTW, I enjoyed Monsters and I enjoy most of Darabont's work (although his Mist was dreadful and his second season of TWD was tedious at times.) However, putting them together sounds like a sloooooooow film. I'd seriously rather see Bay direct this film. Mothra (insert monster) and Godzilla fight destroying lots of buildings in the process. And, add a dash of cheese.
InnerSanctum, of course it will be slow.That mutant dinosaur is pretty damn big and lumbering.
Godzilla does not lumber along.
Can this be a good movie. PLEASE don't screw this up again hollywood.
The MIst was awesome and wasn't that genre?
I would prefer to have more Godzilla than humans. But I would like there to still be some human interaction that has to deal with the plot. Also cast GOOD actors. But still have more Godzilla. OH and also make Godzilla look like Godzilla not a blue dinosaur.

Absent mindedly, Dean was leaning closer and closer to his light source. Since the sun had set he was now totally reliant on the many propane lanterns dotted around the station. He was beginning to feel like he'd been stripping back wires, and repairing connections for days, rather than hours. Despite the caffeine drinks, Dean could feel the need to sleep constantly clawing at his insides. He'd been feeling the lack of sleep this morning, so was it any wonder that he felt horrible now. However, fixing the station was a priority, and he felt that a lot of people were counting on him to do just that. "Ugh," he exclaimed as he fumbled and undid about five minutes work in one second. He leaned away from the lamp and instantly felt the protest in his back. It was time to take another short break. The repairman reached for his crutch, and hauled himself up. While vertical he rubbed his face and eyes, trying to brush the sleep away. All he had to do was focus for a bit longer and then power should be restored.
Dean selected a Nuka-Cola from the case that Dean had insisted on paying for. Despite doing his service to the town, Dean was an honest man and couldn't accept charity when he did not require it. Like Shawn he ran a business, he has a few jobs and hence plenty of income to cover his living costs. He popped the top and shoved the cap into his pocket. Fortunately the drink was refreshing and livened his senses. Unfortunately, Dean knew it wouldn't last long. He stretched and groaned, then dutifully returned to his work load. At least it wouldn't be long now before the power would be back on. He could fine tune the fix after some sleep.

i always keep a gatorade and some sort of snack (nutrigrain bar or something) in my backpack or car when i know ill be out for a while. ill take a break after a bit and chow down and drink and it gives me another boost of energy.
and to colonelsanders, this is true. ive always worn compression shorts (out of habit) and i have never experienced any thigh rash.
Just got out of the water with some crap south wind conditions. I did drink 2 full glasses of water before I paddled out. I did feel better, not sure if it was the water or the fact that I switched up boards and was riding my little
5'6" quad. I was thinking that my mind was more on the surfing rather than the pain while I concentrated on getting that small board wired. My surf shorts are loose fitting mens exercise shorts with a compression short liner. Best shorts ever and never a rash, $12 at Marshalls. I will never by a pair of boardshorts again.

I trained for a trip to a Central American Point break before. I did interval training, paddling from one point to another, trying to make the workout last at least an hour. Something like 20 seconds sprint paddle, 45 seconds slow paddle, repeat for 15 minutes, then change to a different interval.

Afterlife & the Messiah 101
After death, the soul separates from the body and either goes straight to heaven (Gan Eden) or makes a stop in hell (Gehinnom) to purge itself of sins.
In the End of Days, the Messiah will gather the Jewish exiles to Israel and the Temple will be rebuilt. Some time later, the dead will be resurrected and reunited with their souls. This new, perfected universe is known as the World to Come.
This is a common--yet too simplistic--presentation of Jewish eschatology (literally, the study or theory of the End). In Jewish tradition, there is little consensus on how, what, and when things happen in the Great Beyond.
Broadly speaking, the Messiah will be a descendant of King David who, in the future, will reign over a peaceful and prosperous Israel.
According to some--most prominently, Maimonides--this is all he is. The Messiah is not a wonderworker, nor is the messianic era a miraculous age. In fact, according to Maimonides, the Messiah will die and be succeeded by his sons. This tradition of a political (and possibly military) redeemer dates to the age of the latter prophets, who living after the peak years of the Israelite monarchy, looked forward to a time when Jewish self-rule would be restored.
Other thinkers and texts stress the utopian--not the restorative--nature of the messianic era and suggest that the age of the Messiah will be a super-natural time. According to one talmudic source, for example, humans will have only good inclinations in the messianic era (Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 52a).
For many--but by no means all--contemporary Jews, the messianic idea is as important now as it has been in the past. However, some moderns have rejected the idea that the messianic age will be defined by the arrival of an individual Messiah, and instead look to the messianic dream as a source of hope for a perfected and peaceful world.

Ever Ever On
1. Ever Ever On
"So what do we do now?"
The words hung accusingly in the air between us.
Not a one of us spoke.
We couldn't- the air was thick with the stench of smoke and blood and fear and death.
To open our mouths would have been to taste it all over again.
I closed my eyes, trying to block out the images, but it was useless.
To have come so far and yet to have fallen at the final hurdle…
The tears fell unbidden, and I hoped no-one saw.
Was this really how our quest ended- not with fanfare and fame, but with requiem and regret?
This was not fair.
Not fair at all.
Opening my eyes, I saw that my comrades wept as well.
Brushing one hand savagely across my eyes, I hardened my heart.
There and then, I swore a silent oath on all my ancestors that I would never weep again.
"I am going home."
My voice rang out in the cold night air, and the others looked at me.
Dwalin was first to speak- my poor, sweet, silly brother. I nodded.
He cocked his head to one side, looked at me askance, though he surely must have known what I meant.
"But Balin, home is… home has…"
I shook my head.
"No longer can I call these lands home, brother mine. Too much has passed here; too much hate and hurt and horror."
The others nodded- after all, were we not now ten where had once been twelve? I took a breath and continued.
"Never again shall I look upon this place without remembering how we were wronged here, so never again shall I look upon it."
Bombur was first to realise what I meant- fat, foolish, faithful Bombur.
I should have known.
"Balin, you don't mean to… you can't mean to!"
I nodded, and turned my gaze from the Lonely Mountain.
"It is madness! The thing… the beast… it will still be there, Balin!"
I shrugged.
"Then it shall have to be dealt with, it and all its armies."
I hefted my axe to my shoulder.
"Come with me or come with me not; I intend to retake what was ours or die trying."
Some looked away. Others could not even look at me but stared instead at the ground. Only Glóin met my gaze.
"I wish you well in your adventure, then. I would join you, were it not for…"
His sentence trailed away like the last light of day, and I nodded.
"Very well. I shall do this thing alone."
Turning on my heel, I made to walk, but a hand clapped onto my shoulder before I was gone but one step. I turned, knowing before I did who it would be.
"My brother has a wife and son, but I have no such handicap. If you should have me in your company…"
I nodded, and smiled, and clapped a hand onto Óin's shoulder in return.
"I should be glad to."
With not a second glance back, we walked away from our old friends, our old lives, our old home.
If any final tears were shed, then they were never spoken of…

I'll look into Finland's status. Maybe have it a decision (to simulate the Diet of Finland's return in 1866, which made autonomous).
Alliances suck in this game. Portugal would fight in all of the UK's wars which is not very historical. It was a pact that could be called upon if necessary. The current system doesn't allow that. Making the UK even stronger by giving it access to the Portuguese military is out of the question. Maybe I'll give them a lead in the sphere race.
Make the UK friendly with Portugal. Starting relations are poorly simulated in Vicky, and a lot of times, alliances are random and make the game frustrating (Russia being allied with Austria, France, and the UK, for example).
Thanks for your work CaptRobau, especially Indonesia seems much better now. However there are three issues that I noticed:
1) It seems the continent.txt has a bug, as there do not seem to be continents in the game right now with your mod
2) Esbjerg was not a colonial province and has a proper liferating, it's part of Denmark proper and not of Greenland. I guess you made a small mistake there when adapting the files.
3) Also one of the Indonesia countries lacks a flag
Another suggestion that I would like to make is that some Indonesian countries should IMO hold cores on Dutch colonial territory. I mean it was the Dutch who conquered these provinces in the first place right? They did belong to another country before the came and conquered.

Great mod. Can it work in conjunction with other mods like Aoc?

Without much modification it works quite well in AoC. Didn't see any problems. Incidentally, expect to see parts of this mod officially included in future versions of AoC.
How about PDM? And what modifications did u do to make it work?
Creator of the Minor Improvement Project a minimod for Victoria 2 and E Pluribus Unum a Submod for PDM.
Not sure about PDM. Yu'd need to check it out for yourself. And I think I just overwrote AoC with 1836. But that was in an earlier version of both 1836 and AoC. Head over to the main AoC thread. Someone made it work with current versions. Ask him.
The real issue that stands however is the behavior nations have during gameplay (in some test runs I noticed UK immediately invading Napal or a very early Crimean War (something like the late 1830's). Perhaps with more tweaking of the merge the random but reasonably realistic points of occurance can be ironed out.
For every subtle and complicated question, there is a simple and straightforward answer, which is wrong.

I would suggest let Kokand border Qing as they did cause a lot of trouble in Xinjiang and supported the Islamic revolts in the region, Qing eventually give the Kokandi consular jurisdiction right in China.
And in the east, I think it's not really right to remove Qing ownership south of the Amur, while the north is pretty much ungoverned, the southern part is the homeland of the Manchurians and got Chinese trade posts back in the 15th century, and Russians did use gunboats to get the land, not simply walk in and plant flags
2. You're right. Fixed.
3. Answered it already
And more Indonesian state cores would be an idea for the next release.
Kokand borders a CHI core, which represents the ineffective control of those three provinces by China. Besides Kokand only raided Xinjiang which we can't represent in the current system. Now at least China doesn't annex Kokand all the time, which happens when it borders it.
The Russians colonized the area, which was sparsely populated and ineffectively controlled. For now the CHI cores act as China's presence there and the colonizability simulates the Russian migrating to the area. I think it should be seen as something like the Oregon Country. The cigar shaped part of it was actually a condiminium like Oregon Country. The gunboat part would be the Russians forcing the Wing to relinquish its claims, which the current events/decisions do.
Perhaps I could write some events that gives China more say in the matter, but for now the arrangement seems to simulate what happened quite well.
On a side note I removed a Polish core on Danzig.
Also I'm thinking of making Schleswig a sattelite in personal union with Denmark. Would this represent the actual situation better or worse?
I have two suggestions:
1) Gave it to Qing, but when Qing is spheared by Russia or at war with other GP as an unciv, Russia can demand(snatch?) it.
2) Leave it as it is now, but Qing will have decisions to demand it back when they've became a GP
And decisions to remove the core seems to be ahistorical, since the claim was relinquished decades after the timeframe(1969 according to that article)

Inspired by the true story of sixteenth-century samurai Musashi Miyamoto, David Kirk has crafted a rich, absorbing novel of one young man's coming of age at a crucial turning point in Japanese history.
Thirteen-year-old Bennosuke is deeply disconnected from the rest of his village. When he was five, his mother died, and his father, a powerful samurai, has been traveling the country in service to his lord ever since. Raised by his uncle, a monk, who has tried to teach his charge to eschew violence and martial glory and embrace knowledge and peace, Bennosuke worships his absent, renowned father, Munisai. Subject to shifting alliances beyond his control, Munisai has become indebted to the odious Nakata clan. This escalating feud forces him to return home to his village—followed by his enemies. Now Bennosuke will be forced to confront harsh truths about his family history and his own place in it—and to choose between the paths of samurai and monk.

Building a better home in Berwick: Community helps young Aidan and family
Saturday, December 29, 2012
BERWICK, Maine — Snow covered the ground as the breaking for the Bowie House project officially began Friday.
"I wanted to help provide better accommodations for Aidan. I think it is a great thing to help people and I was happy to be contacted by Talley Westerberg, a close friend of the Bowies. It is truly amazing to see how much people want to help."
Plumbers, electricians, and even snow shoveling hands are all contributing help.
"Those who are blessed need to give to those who are in need," said Sue Adler, who initially introduced the project idea to Heather.
There is about $9,000 more needed to complete the first part of the project, which will help purchase the materials for the newly accessible bathroom and bedroom. The second part of the Bowie house project will take place in the spring, with plans to make the whole front entrance open and accessible for Aidan.
"This is a project where everyone has something to give which is really exciting to me. It takes a village; it takes a community," said Heather.

The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths, teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power.
He spends time with a death-squad leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud in Coxsackie, New York; a legendary CEO whose psychopathy has been speculated about in the press; and a patient in an asylum for the criminally insane who insists he's sane and certainly not a psychopath. Ronson not only solves the mystery of the hoax but also discovers, disturbingly, that sometimes the personalities at the helm of the madness industry are, with their drives and obsessions, as mad in their own way as those they study. And that relatively ordinary people are, more and more, defined by their maddest edges.
©2011 Jon Ronson (P)2011 Tantor
"Engrossing.... This book brings droll wit to buoy this fascinating journey through 'the madness business.'" (Publishers Weekly)
"Interesting but wandering"
The book is constructed like a travelogue of a journey. The author arrives in one spot and then pursues each thing that catches his interest without any clear plan. This makes for an interesting path through the "madness industry": we meet new people, hear new things, and get quite a bit of the author's own thinking about these people and these things (perhaps too much of the author's thinking) and then the journey is over. Like travel done in this way one is left richer in stories and perspective but there has been no comprehensive survey, no particular goal has been achieved, and all one's evidence is anecdotal.
If you are looking for a critique of, state of, or even definition of "The Madness Industry" you will come away disappointed. If you are interested in one man's introduction to psychopathic behavior and his subsequent adventures with both psychopaths and those who study them it will make for an interesting read.
"Quirky, intriguing and educational."
The Psychopath Test was my first introduction to Jon Ronson, both as an author and as a narrator. And such is the nature of both his idiosyncratic writing style and vocal delivery, that it took me a while to realize that I quite liked it.
This isn't exactly what I was looking for. Again, not being previously familiar with the author (I'm a little more familiar now), I expected a more serious tone. Ronson treats his material seriously, but there is often a tongue-in-cheek aspect to his writing, leaving the reader wondering if the author means EXACTLY what he's saying. Once I got used to the style, I found it enjoyable.
Although this book is full of information about psychopaths, it will leave you even less sure about their nature--if it can even be said that psychopaths have a nature. TPT isn't what I'd call scholarly journalism, but it's an eye-opener nonetheless.
"Laugh a lot, Learn a lot"
I found this book thoroughly enjoyable. The anecdotes are funny and interesting, and you get enough of the science (arguably pseudoscience) to inform the casual reader. I think a seriously scientifically minded person would probably not enjoy this book as the author is not academically rigorous in his exploration of applying the psychopath test--he only selects a few samples and applies the test in a haphazard manner. But I think that is intentional. I think the point of the book is to explore the way that we concieve of and treat madness, using the criteria for psycopathy as a case study. The author interjects just enough of his own opinions while leaving a lot of it open for the readers to reach their own conclusions. I, for one, happen to agree with what I believe he suggests--that while there are many people who have serious mental illnesses that necessitate treatment and therapy, the criteria we have for mental disorders are malleable enough to overdiagnose many others to their detriment. The piece on childhood bipolar disorder at the end is particularly unnerving. I would also note that I listened to this book on audio from audible and it is read by the author who has a great speech pattern. Bit of a British accent makes for nice listening and he uses good emphasis and is a good storyteller. Something fun to listen for is the way he emphasizes responses to questions--"Yes" is said very definitively.
"Fascinating stuff"
A really intriguing look into the mind of both the psycopaths and the people who study them. Ronson reads his own work here, which is occasionally a little rough but more than makes up for the fact with the added pathos he brings. Great listen.
I saw Ronson appear on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show", and immediately added the book to my Audible queue. It was one of the most interesting and thought provoking books I've read in a long time.
"Fascinating - couldn't stop listening."
"The Psychopath Test" takes us on a journey through a host of interesting characters, including scientologists, psychiatrists, patients, and of course "psychopaths", giving us a variety of perspectives and insights along the way. Jon Ronson takes a postmodern approach to his subjects, an underlying skepticism which leads to interesting questions and speculations. While a moral relativism mutes some of the book's passion, this is made for by Ronson???s introspective self-doubt and honestly. Ronson brings some important social quandaries to light ??? what to do with psychopaths, the potentially psychopathic nature of our leaders, the reliability of psychiatric checklists, and the potential dangers of diagnosing and medicating children, to name just a few.
Lover of ideas who feels no guilt at all about her pleasures.
"Crazy about Psychopaths"
This book was the perfect blend of arty, intellectual NPR vibe, Otherwhere, and Twisted Sensibility to accompany my dreaded Sunday cleaning. I loved it It's a highly entertaining pursuit of a fascinating question: Is there an us and a them?
Buy it!
"Ronson books should be read by Ronson"
My first introduction to Joh Ronson was an excerpt from this book on This American Life, which I found intriguing. The book has many more surprises.
Ronson is one of those authors who has a distinct speaking voice and it adds another layer to his work to hear him read it. I wish he would record some of his previous books.
"Are you crazy?"
Informative, insightful and wickedly funny, this is Ronson at his best. His wonderfully comic self-deprecating humor is refreshing on a topic that could otherwise be quite depressing--and is a welcome change from the self-important tone that typifies so many works of this genre. It also invites you to take a look at yourself, even as you start checking off the psychopathic traits of the people you dislike. Highly recommended!
"Interesting listen but it didn't go anywhere"
This story started out slow, picked up for most of the book, to the point where it was really interesting, and then, it just ended. It was like a book report from a middle school student. I listened to this because it was by Ronson who is a wacky and controversial writer. But in this book, he didn't take a stand, he didn't give his opinion, it's a cop-out. He writes about what he saw and who he talked to, but then doesn't really give his opinion on anything. Anyone could have written this book since it doesn't reveal his point-of-view. Lame.

Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 03 January 2013 Updated: 10/01 16:38
THE HARKAWAY Club defied the weather to stage their point-to-point meeting at Chaddesley Corbett on Friday morning, on a day when the stamina of spectators was tested as much as the horses.
Himbleton jockey Phine Banks and Horsham Lad scored a shock victory over the odds on favourite Promising Anshan in the AGA sponsored Ladies Open.
There was not much between the five runners at the final open ditch but the race developed in earnest as they climbed the hill where Big Game Hunter, Horsham Lad and Promising Anshan settled down to fight out the finish.
Horsham Lad was relishing the muddy conditions and had seen off the challenge of Big Game Hunter at the second from home but as he started to drop back Gina Andrews was poised to make her challenge.
The confidence of favourite backers quickly evaporated because Promising Anshan could not summon up sufficient reserves to pass Horsham Lad who stayed on dourly to prevail by a length.
"Horsham Lad was Fergal's first winner when he started training under Rules, so the horse is special to us," reported winning trainer Jelly O'Brien. "Phine rode well and did exactly what we agreed prior to the race."
With her daughter weighing in, the jockey's mother Christine explained: "We acquired Horsham Lad after we asked if we could have first refusal if my sister and brother-in-law William and Angela (Rucker) decided to sell."
Miss Banks works for the Ministry of Defence and as owner/rider the 24-year-old picked up a plethora of AGA goodies from their representative David Simpson after the race.
Race times had been brought forward 30 minutes in anticipation of multiple divisions later in the day, but due to the conditions these failed to materialise.
Gloucestershire jockey Sam Drinkwater enjoyed a successful day with two seconds and a winner and he could be a major player in this years Riders Championship.
Drinkwater used similar tactics on all three occasions and as a result he returned with his colours in pristine condition while everybody else was covered in mud.
He sent Le Burf to the front from the start of the Conditions until they were passed by Silver Token in the home straight and then fought back bravely to get within three-quarters of a length of the winner as they passed the judge.
Drinkwater went one better in the following Restricted when Trouble Digger fought off the persistent challenge of Prof De L'Isle over the final two fences before another second place was secured by Dammam in the Mens Open.
Dammam finished runner-up to Cottage Oak and that horses connections were dreaming of Cheltenham glory after the race. Co-owners Richard Hewitt and Cheshire trainer Joe O'Shea fear nothing with this nine-year-old son of Flemensfirth and have an ambitious programme mapped out for the future.
Zara Phillips was out of luck with her two runners. Fiddle Faddle was pulled up in the Non-Rules Runners Maiden which went to I Believe while stablemate First Watch went at the final open ditch in the open Maiden which was won by Bringinthebranston the second leg of a double for Welsh owner/Trainer David Brace.
Results: Harkaway Club Members Conditions - 1st Silver Token 14/1, 2nd Le Buef, 3rd Vic Venturi; Harkaway Club Members Restricted - 1st Trouble Digger 7/1, 2nd Prof De L'isle, 3rd Roseyroo; AGA Ladies Open - 1st Horsham Lad 7/1; Promising Anshan, 3rd Big Game Hunter; Mens Open - 1st Cottage Oak 5/2; Dammam, 3rd Officier De Reserve; Harkaway Club Members Non-Rules Runners Maiden - 1st I Believe 14/1, 2nd Shales Rock; Harkaway Club Members Maiden - 1st Bringinthebranston 6/1; 2nd Aboo Dreamer.

First observed in 2007, National Teen Driver Safety Week aims to bring teens, parents, educators, legislators, and other community leaders together to help prevent teen crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
There are several important factors that play a significant role in the incidence of teens involved in vehicle crashes. First, the leading cause of teen driver crashes is driver error or speeding. Better education is needed to inform students of the severity of a vehicle crash and the very real consequences to themselves, their passengers, and the general public of operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner.
Second, the younger the driver the more likely they are to be involved in a fatal crash. Statistics provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) show that sixteen-year-old drivers are more than twice as likely to be involved in fatal crashes as older drivers. By increasing the teen driver's supervised driving experience we can delay exposure to risky driving conditions until they have had a substantial level of supervision, rather than simply sending them out on their own.
Additionally, a variety of distractions – cell phones, food/beverage consumption, loud music, etc. – make it increasingly difficult for the driver to focus their attention on operating their vehicle in a safe manner. A recent NHTSA study showed that driver distraction contributes to about 25 percent of all police-reported traffic crashes. It is important to reinforce the idea that once a vehicle is in motion, the driver must devote his or her full attention to the task at hand–operating their vehicle safely.
By encouraging teens to adopt safe driving habits, managing peer-to-peer interactions while in a vehicle, and reinforcing the need to detect and react to hazards more appropriately, teens will be better prepared to drive responsibly, and our roads will be much safer.

Overlap with MVC in Java ME - the articles should be merged.
[edit] Introduction
The MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern is an architectural pattern for software engineering. The pattern enables the programmer to separate the UI(presentation layer), application data and business logic making it much easier to maintain code and accommodate changes.
- Model - The Model is a representation of data specifically used in an application.
- View - The UI of an application. It renders the model for display or interaction.
- Controller - Handles events from user interaction and typically invokes changes on the Model.
In the MVC design pattern, application flow is mediated by a central controller. The controller delegates requests to an appropriate handler. The controller is the means by which the user interacts with the web application. The controller is responsible for the input to the model. A pure GUI controller accepts input from the user and instructs the model and viewport to perform action based on that input. If an invalid input is sent to the controller from the view, the model informs the controller to direct the view that error occurred and to tell it to try again.
A web application controller can be thought of as specialised view since it has a visual aspect. It would be actually be one or more HTML forms in a web application and therefore the model can also dictate what the controller should display as input. The controller would produce HTML to allow the user input a query to the web application. The controller would add the necessary parameterisation of the individual form element so that the Servlet can observe the input. This is different from a GUI, actually back-to-front, where the controller is waiting and acting on event-driven input from mouse or graphics tablet.
The controller adapts the request to the model. The model represents, or encapsulates, an application's business logic or state. It captures not only the state of a process or system, but also how the system works. It notifies any observer when any of the data has changed. The model would execute the database query for example.
Control is then usually forwarded back through the controller to the appropriate view. The view is responsible for the output of the model. A pure GUI view attaches to a model and renders its contents to the display surface. In addition, when the model changes, the viewport automatically redraws the affected part of the image to reflect those changes. A web application view just transforms the state of the model into readable HTML. The forwarding can be implemented by a lookup in a mapping in either a database or a file. This provides a loose coupling between the model and the view, which can make an application much easier to write and maintain.
MVC in Java Server Pages
Java Server Pages (JSP) becomes more interesting because the HTML content can be separated from the Java business objects. JSP can also make use of Java Beans. The business logic could be placed inside Java Beans. If the design is architected correctly, a Web Designer could work with HTML on the JSP site without interfering with the Java developer.
The Model/View/Controller architecture also works with JSP. In fact it makes the initial implementation a little easier to write. The controller object is master Servlet. Every request goes through the controller who retrieves the necessary model object. The model may interact with other business entities such as databases or Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). The model object sends the output results back to the controller. The controller takes the results and places it inside the web browser session and forwards a redirect request to a particular Java Server Page. The JSP, in the case, is the view.
The controller has to bind a model and a view, but it could be any model and associated any view. Therein lies the flexibility and perhaps an insight to developing a very advanced dynamic controller that associates models to a view.
The prior sections have concentrated on their being one controller, one model, and one view. In practice, multiple controllers may exist - but only one controls a section of the application at a time. For example, the administrator's functions may be controlled by one controller and the main logic controlled by another. Since only one controller can be in control at a given time, they must communicate. There may also be multiple models - but the controller takes the simplified view representation and maps it to the models appropriately and also translates that response back to the view. The view never needs to know how the logic is implemented.
The case for separating presentation and logic
Decoupling data presentation and the program implementation becomes beneficial since a change to one does not affect the other. This implies that both can be developed separately from the other: a division of labor. The look and feel of the web application, the fonts, the colours and the layout can be revised without having to change any Java code. As it should be. Similarly if the business logic in the application changes, for instance to improve performance and reliability, then this should not cause change in the presentation.
A model-view-controller based web application written with only Java Servlets would give this decoupling. If the presentation changed then the Java code that generates the HTML, the presentation, in the view object only has to change.
Similarly if the business logic changed then only the model object has to change. A web application built with MVC and Java Server Pages would be slightly easier if the business logic is contained only in Java Beans. The presentation (JSP) should only access these beans through custom tag libraries. This means that the Java Beans did not have Java code that wrote HTML. Your beans would only concern themselves with the business logic and not the presentation. The JSP would get the data from the Beans and then display the presentation (the "view"). Decoupling is therefore easy. A change to the implementation only necessitates changes to the Java Beans. A change to the presentation only concern changes to the relevant Java Server Page. With Java Server Pages a web designer who knows nothing about Java can concentrate on the HTML layout, look and feel. While a Java developer can concentrate on the Java Beans and the core logic of the web application.

Just joined and wishing to say G,Day to everyone.
Me Tony, her Pat, semi retired and kids out of the way.....hooray so we can do what we want.
We have not bought the tent yet as we are still in the looking process but after having out Odyssey 6 stolen we have got it down to the Oztrail Sportiva Headland 12, i know its a big tent for 2 people but that extra space looks great.
Best price we have seen one for has been $369 at Downunder Camping, if any members know where in the Brisbane area to obtain one at a better figure then i would be only too glad to hear from you.
Have any members got any advice on the above mentioned tent good or bad and also any suggestions on a similar tent that would suit 2 people taking into account we like the extra space size.
Anyways, thanks for accepting us on the forum and we look forward to contributing as best we can.

Capture the look of a pop star in the 80s or an 80s chick who just got done working out. There really isn't that much difference between the two. Look like you just stepped out of a John Hughes movie when you are in this Teen Dramarama 80s Dance Star Costume. Buy this outfit and you will get a tank top, long sleeve mesh shirt, leggings, headband, fingerless gloves, and leg warmers. Just like all the dance outfits in the 80s, this one is put together with so many different colors. The mesh shirt is pink, while the tank top is blue and the leggings are purple. The headband is yellow and the gloves are black with multi-color polka dots. Put your hair up in a scrunchie, get some glitter on your eyes, and bop around this Halloween as a hyperactive teen 80s chick.

UPDATED: Friday, January 18, 2013 - 11:29am
he Twitterverse exploded early Monday after everyone's favorite bad-boy rapper Kanye West announced that his girlfriend, the famous-for-being-famous Kim Kardashian, was pregnant.
A spokesman for Kardashian then confirmed the news to CNN, but provided no other detail than that West announced it at a show Sunday in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Kardashian took to her official website to formally announce the news.
"It's true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby," she wrote. "We feel so blessed and lucky and wish that in addition to both of our families, his mom and my dad could be here to celebrate this special time with us. Looking forward to great new beginnings in 2013 and to starting a family."
The two have been dating for about eight months and have denied pregnancy rumors in the past.
Kardashian is still legally married to Kris Humphries, although she filed for divorce from the NBA player 72 days after tying the knot in October 2011.
Soon after Monday morning's announcement, Kardashian family members took to Twitter to share the news with the world.
"Keeping secrets is hard with so many family members! Especially when you are so freaking excited!!!!! LOVE is everything!!!!" tweeted Kardashian's sister, Khloe.
Another sister, Kourtney, then announced: "Been wanting to shout from the rooftops with joy and now I can! Another angel to welcome to our family. Overwhelmed with excitement!"
And new grandma-to-be Kris Jenner simply gushed: "oh BABY BABY BABY!!"
Within minutes, the hashtag #Kimye took off on Twitter, as did the inevitable ribbing.
Some poked fun at West's healthy ego, saying Kanye will name his baby "Kanye" -- or perhaps "Babye."
Others alluded to West's infamous interruption of singer Taylor Swift's MTV Video Music Awards speech in 2009, when he grabbed her microphone and let loose an outburst on behalf of singer Beyonce Knowles, who had lost out in the Best Female Video category to Swift.
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," West said that night.
Judging from the tweets Monday morning, that incident is still fresh on many minds.
Said someone who uses the handle @FSUSteve: "I don't mean to interrupt Kanye's special announcement, but Beyonce's was much better."

Indigenous Bolivians protest against Amazon road
Amazonian Indians campaigning against plans to build a road through a nature reserve. Web users in the Philippines report on the damage caused by Typhoon Nesat. And a video capturing all the high points of a Break dance festival in the Netherlands.
Indigenous Bolivians protest against Amazon road
The anti-government protests continue in Bolivia despite the authorities suspending controversial plans to build a road through a nature reserve in the Amazon. As we can see in this amateur video footage, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of La Paz on Wednesday to show their solidarity with the Amazonian Indians opposing the construction of this road.
Because back in mid-August hundreds of indigenous Bolivians embarked on a march towards the capital, in protest of this 300 km long highway which would cut the Tipnis reserve in half.
The march was violently broken up by security forces in the village of Yucumo on Sunday, shocking public opinion. Three ministers have since resigned in protest and President Evo Morales has suspended work on the road.
But the indigenous protesters are continuing their campaign. This blog has been set up to explain what they have been doing and give the movement more visibility. In this video message, one of the leaders of the movement Justa Cabrera appeals to both the people of Bolivia, and to the rest of the world, asking them to join the fight to protect the "lungs" of our planet.
And there has been a recent proliferation of online initiatives. A design competition has been launched on this Facebook group, with artists from all over the world competing, expressing their condemnation of the road. The entries will be publicly exhibited across the country from next week.
The NGO Avaaz has started this online petition demanding Evo Morales protects the ecosystem and the Amazon. It has already been signed by over 290 000 web users from all corners of the globe.
Typhoon Pedring devastates the Philippines
Towns and cities have been devastated, shops completely gutted and rivers have burst their banks … Typhoon Nesat has ripped through the Philippines, causing considerable damage which will cost millions of dollars to repair, and dozens of people have reportedly lost their lives. Web users at the scene have been sharing their accounts online.
As we can see in these amateur videos which are currently circulating online, the Philippines was hit by extremely powerful winds and violent downpours on Tuesday. The area worst hit by the storms was Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines which houses over half of the population of 90 million people.
The torrential rain also caused a lot of flooding in the country, making driving condition extremely difficult, as we can see here. The capital Manila was not spared either. Some neighbourhoods were submerged in one and a half meters of water, forcing residents to flee to makeshift shelters.
It would appear the authorities have already started work on repairing the considerable damage caused by Typhoon Nesat. These shots posted on Flickr show reconstruction work on the banks of the river in Manila. And residents are also joining the cleanup efforts.
Web users have also been showing their support. As is often the case with these types of natural disasters, many have been mobilizing for the victims via social networks by sharing links to local NGOs, like the Philippine Red Cross, which are collecting donations and providing first aid and humanitarian relief.
Video clips reconstructed from brain activity
On the left hand side are extracts from a film watched by three human guinea pigs. The clips on the right are the reconstruction of this segment, created by measuring blood flow to active areas of the brain. This video was uploaded by researchers from Berkeley University, and shows how they have managed to decode these brain waves. In the long term similar methods could be used to communicate with stroke or coma patients, and perhaps even reconstruct people's dreams or memories.
Now trending on social networks
One of today's top trending terms on micro blogging sites is « Things Stronger Than The Kenya Shilling ». Wet toilet paper, the Three Little Pigs first house: as web users have been saying, albeit with more than a drop of sarcasm, it would appear that everything is stronger than the Kenya shilling at the moment. The currency has taken a hit on the exchange market and since the beginning of the year has lost over one quarter of its value against the dollar. And even though the situation could get even worse, micro bloggers prefer to see the funny side of things.
Video of the day
"The Notorious IBE" is one of the most popular break dance festivals in the world. It takes place in the Netherlands and draws thousands of break-dancers each year. This video is for all those who were not been lucky enough to attend the 2011 edition at the beginning of September. It looks back over the high points of the festival and showcases some of the amazing performances.

My dad used to collect McDonald's Happy Meal toys. When the toys all started being part of movie promotions he pretty much stopped, unless it's something really special. Remember the Inspector Gadget where all the small toys could be put together to make Inspector Gadget? That was a really good one. Dad prefers the McDonald's-themed toys, such as the McNuggets that come with Halloween costumes that can come off. So this batch of stuff is a gold mine, and I don't think he owns any of these. They are all transformer-type foods, manufactured from 1987-1990.
I know my mom will bring my father over to the computer so he can see this post. He's probably laughing and complaining that I didn't give him the toys, and thinking about running down to the infamous basement to see if he has any of these. He'll be riled up all day reminiscing about the good toys and telling my mother all about them.
Have a great Father's Day weekend, and be sure to visit all of the other Vintage Thingies Thursday participants that are listed at ColoradoLady!
For those who are too young, or who have forgotten, here's the Big Mac commercial!
