Georgia: Trying to Matter
Welcome to my first CK AAR. Surprisingly enough, it isnt a narrative. This will shine in the same light as my EU3 Yaroslavl attempt. So itll be a gameplay AAR and updated often. I must say that it is a bit intimidating to not be writing a narrative in CK; I feel like Im breaking the rules.
Ill admit that Im either very successful or I fail within the first 100 years. In my previous game before this one I took Rhodes, left the Byzantium Empire and later formed it. Or I can take a place like Brandenburg and find a way to get annexed.
Why Georgia? Why not? Why a gameplay AAR? I do have a real explanation for that. When I started out playing this game (Im still starting out) I looked all over for a non-narrative gameplay CK AAR. I couldnt find one that wasnt masked through a narrative and if there is one somewhere, its hidden. Narratives are fine dont get me wrong but there are so many in the CK world that its hard to find a place where I can learn how to play the game. Im sure others are in the same boat. Hopefully a direct CK gameplay AAR will help highlight some of my mistakes and inform others of what to and what not to do.
Country: Georgia
Family: Bagratuni
Difficulty: Hard
No reloads, cheating, things of that nature.
Updated at least every other day or every day if the weather remains cold... I dont go out in cold weather
I dont have any house rules. If anyone has some that theyve found to be fair feel free to offer them because Im still very new to this game.
Comments are welcome but not necessary because I'm going to do this regardless. And you can ask questions but I may not have the answers. Im still trying to figure things out.

It is probably easier to find examples of 'literary hard social SF', where the aspects seem to be closer together (Atwood, LeGuin, Orwell, and others mentioned before).
But in the short story market Ted Chiang seems to be as close to literary hard SF as you get, with the caveat that his works usually explore other rulesets. Ken Liu might be an example as well. Clarkesworld seems to be a market that has a relatively high proportion of stories that could fit the label, for example a recent de Bodard, or Valente.

The reason we're doing the (old) debate on what is hard SF first is that before we can get to discuss how stylistic a work is and what merit we find it to have, we first have to determine whether we consider it to be a work of hard SF or not. And that calls into question what the parameters are that we can agree on, because that issue is charged emotionally with the essence of what science itself means to people, and further, with the cultural history of science fiction. These sub-categories we create and discuss are subject to change, but in science fiction, they emerge from the type of science involved in the story. (In fantasy, they arise from the setting largely.)
And on that front, you seem to be going back and forth. You are stating that hard SF does not have to be limited to hard science premises. At the same time, you're stating that hard SF is a different beast from dystopias, steampunk, cyberpunk and military SF, etc., and having more difficulty than they are. Exactly how is it different then? Where are you going to put say Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness? And that is the issue -- as a sub-category, hard SF is one specific thing, a story that has a specific type of element, regardless of style and amount of action, but beyond that basic division, hard SF becomes this mutable, personal idea, ranging from the very narrow that does not even include mathematics apparently to three-quarters of the SF field. And so it becomes quite easy to claim that there is a lack of "literary" hard SF because anything you want can be called not hard SF or hard SF. Which then sets off others into paroxysms of "if you won't use my definition, then all the terms are meaningless!" Which is of course not the case -- no one has the power to declare terms meaningless. But there is this jockeying for what parameters a discussion can operate out of -- and further jockeying when we get to the adeptness of a writer with language and imagery.
I don't think hard SF writers lack imagination at all, and many authors of hard SF works then also write other works ranging from sociological SF to fantasy stories and non-speculative works, so the label is not a branding iron. I don't think hard SF writers, contemplating hard science issues as they do, are particularly rigid about using only firmly established science and developing detailed rundowns of every science concept they use in a story either, nor that they ever have been. I don't think that there is a lack of stylistically strong authors in SF or in hard SF. I think there's a wide variety in style and thematic approach in SF, just as there is in other types of fiction. It's not the type of fiction that determines the stylistic abilities or thematic insight of the author, but instead the authors themselves and the meaning we find in their use of language and idea through the type of fiction.
SF does not have to serve any particular function. It can -- it can be predictive, socially critical, scientifically instructive, moralistic, suspenseful, emotional or dramatic. It can be personal and tightly focused, or epic and sprawling. It's always curious, I think. It can be in very plain language, but plain language can be poetic. What we do know is that it is rare for literary award committees to like books about scientists, SF or no. It does occasionally happen, but not often. So a fictional book focused on issues of biology, chemistry and physics is seldom going to get patted on the head in the larger world. The preference is for writers concentrating on sociology and social commentary -- 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Yiddish Policemen's Union. That doesn't mean a lack of stylistic ability of some authors, or a lack of meaning in their work.
So I don't know basically what you're looking for in terms of "hardness" of your SF, and I don't know that the many names bandied about here constitute a lack. It seems to me to be another variant on SF dying and that it should do more. We're very hard on SF.

Ender's Game was very interesting because of the psychology in the story. The physical sciences in the story was kind of handwavery but that is not what made it an interesting story. I would like the literary people to explain and categorize their valued literary characteristics even though that is not my primary interest.
For me what matters is the story, then the science and lastly any literary characteristics. They can make the presentation of the story better or worse but that is it. Sometimes a writer seems more wrapped up in his writing than the story and that gets boring. Asimov was all about the story and not the writing, there just had to be writing to tell a story.

Pretty much what KatG said. I find it interesting quite how far we are able to tie ourselves in knots trying to agree on what defines a subgenre.
Are the following, with a notable lack of Spaceships, FTL, etc. Hard SF?
Greybeard Brian Aldiss
The Drowned World JG Ballard
On the Beach Neville Shute
The Day of the Triffids John Wyndham
Additionally, I am still unsure what defines literary SF, having had Dune dismissed as not literary. OK it may not be on the same level as Tolstoy, but it is some way above Star Wars. Where is the threshold? Are the books listed above literary?
October 23rd, 2012, 06:49 PM #52Originally Posted by Hitmouse
In the case of Dune, Herbert meets many of the aspects of the definition, but many feel his prose is too ham-fisted and melodramatic to be literary (skilled.) He is also not part of any particular movement, though he is in a sense New Wavish and comes close to Weird Tales. Historically, though, Dune has cultural import. It is a political philosophical thought experiment rather than a major action story, and it received a fair amount of literary acclaim when it first came out as a blending of political-cultural focus with mythic quest approaches, as well as wide resonance with readers. It tackled issues of its time, particularly psychological ones, native cultures ones, etc., and reflects cultural writing features of its time, but it also goes beyond that into mythic themes. It has been highly influential for many other stories including Star Wars. But Dune does not meet most of the criterias presented for hard SF. The science is not central, it is not dealing with a hard science issue and it is primarily concerned with sociological, psychological and political issues. It has aliens, which again for some disqualifies it from being hard SF. Dune is studied in universities and sometimes high schools, at least the first book, and is considered a seminal work of SF.

There's a fundamental problem of definitions here, both with the Hard SF question, and with the definitions being thrown around for "Literary."
Character drama does not necessarily equate to literary. Postmodern and poststructural writing likewise does not necessarily equal literary.
Literary also is not simply a synonym for "good writing." Literary style doesn't, of itself, operate for the purpose of resonance. That's just what happens when it has been done well.
That is what many stories described as "literary" have tended to do -- illuminating the human condition and culture -- but by no means is that all that Literary works do. And when done well, these literary works that reveal something of the human condition occupy a position of critical respect, overall, for the effective balance of form and function, and the level of artistry in the writing. But that's just "good writing" and it happens to be literary. They are not the same, and each can exist independently.
Writing that enriches the subject is not what literary is about... all writing should do that, really.
"Literary" in part means "Writerly" -- as in, the author dedicates significant attention to the craft of writing that goes into the telling of a story, arguably more attention than to the underlying story. Literary tends to be applied to prose, and as a writing style what we mean by literary is elevated, or impassioned, prose. Rather than writing basic prose -- sentence units that perform a function -- the literary writer often employs poetic techniques within the prose, resulting in a fair-use policy of things that break with conventional grammar. Sentence fragments are one example, or structurally you might have a 3 page footnote. Literary writing broadens the tool box beyond basic prose.
Following from this, the story may be less plot driven and focused more on the writing itself. There's a push to make you aware of the fact that you're reading, that the author is pulling tricks on you, and trying to get you read something in a peculiar way. It draws attention to the fact that it's writing, rather than that it's a story. So you get this notion of "quality of form," true, in that the writing is about the writing and its form. Yes, that's a part of what makes a thing "literary," but "quality of form" implies the notion that "literary" equals "good writing," which simply isn't so. Every writer should be paying attention to the quality of form, but not every writer is trying to draw the reader's attention to the form.
There's a necessary third condition. The first is stylistic and elevating prose to function more like poetry, the second is a focus on the writing itself rather than what is being written about (which you'll notice is directly related to the first condition), and the third is a demonstrated concern with other works of literature, or more broadly any work of a similar mode or medium.
Literary fiction is fiction that demonstrates an awareness of and concern for including intertextual references to other works of fiction. This is also like the second condition -- a kind of meta-level exists in literary works, where there is always a sense that what you are reading is a construction and is using techniques, and also that you are reading a text that is talking about other texts that really exist in the real world, and therefore blurring the division between fiction and reality, while also reminding you that the author is a real person with real knowledge of real things.
And, these three things interoperate on a sliding scale. You may have a lot of one and not as much of the other, but generally some amount of at least two have to be there. You may have all three in abundance, you may have relatively little of each. But in most respects, if a work doesn't employ slightly unconventional prose techniques, at some level make you aware of the techniques being used by the author on you, and doesn't in some way refer to other works of literature, then it ain't "literary."
Soft SF, by comparison, may be rigorous in its use of science, but the soft sciences are fundamentally interpretive -- that's why they're soft. They are science largely based on conjecture and supposition and interpreted from data that is not, strictly speaking, objective, though it may be empirical. Behavioural Psychology, at the physical level, is harder science than Social Psychology because it is simply testing the operations of the underlying biology (hard science) in slightly contrived scenarios. Sociology/Social Psych are entirely based on interpretation, and no matter how rigorous are ultimately dependent on how the observer chooses to categorize the data. The result is that Soft-Science Fiction has a lot of wiggle room for pure invention/conjecture/supposition -- it's theory, moreso than science.
In that sense, all Hard SF meets the third condition of "literary" -- Hard SF is necessarily well versed in the science it uses, and makes reference to it. It doesn't often make references to other examples of its type of fiction, though it may. Soft SF may meet the condition if it uses actual science, but a lot of the time it doesn't. And Soft SF has a tendency toward secondary world building, which is less common in Hard SF, so has an inborn condition where it tends to avoid references to other real world examples of its ilk. SF, unlike non-S Fiction, has two paths to literaryness, in this sense, but has inbuilt genre conditions that sometimes preclude one or the other.
What Hard SF often doesn't do is employ elevated prose and become writing-focused. The science tends to be the focus, though I think it might make sense, in the context of the genre, to be writing-focused in the sense that it's an extension of scientific writing and its genre conventions (yes, a lab report is a genre). Soft SF, on the other hand, may more easily be able to be writing-focused and employ elevated prose.
So... out of all that...
The only book I've read that I would comfortably describe as Literary Hard SF is Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon.
So to me the lack of literary hard science fiction is a symptom of the lack of imagination about we can do in the future.
I find this very very sad.
We know we will eventually get a station going on another body or two in the solar system, and we know we will need a bigger space station that could function as a hub and probably a space-space ship building/assembly yard to do it. But then what? Why go to all the incredibly huge effort to develop a populated solar system we can never really get out of? We have a perfectly good place to live right here!
Unless we do discover some way to get up to near light speed, or to jump FTL styles, we're stuck here. But for now, that's just conjecture, so its Soft SF.

It had a description of eating Capt. Crunch. It had Admiral Yamamoto being shot down by Lightnings in WWII.
I read a little passed half way and finally thought, "What is the point of this?"
They found the gold but were trying to figure out how to get it out of the jungle and I decided I didn't give a damn. To me it was writing for the sake of writing not writing to say something. Snow Crash was somewhat better. I finished it but I never recommend it.

Not sure I'd classify any of Aldiss' novels as hard sf, not even Non-Stop.
Fung Koo -- This is why I'm more comfortable with the word stylist and stylistic, rather than literary. The reality is that while I have mostly adhered personally with your framing of the word, the larger world, including critics and award committees, does not. It is, however, what Christopher Priest was talking about re the Clarke Award nominees this year, although I disagree with his view of Stross' Rule 34 in that light.
As for hard and soft (sociological) SF, yes and no. Empirical in the hard sciences sense, yes, but you are also strapping near future onto it -- mundane SF. That's not what typically hard SF has been considered and many works considered classics of hard SF would be likely disqualified. And again, there's the FTL problem.

The problem is that some writers have written works which could be classified as hard sf, though it's not what they usually write. And other writers are classified as hard sf writers, even though not every book they've written is hard sf. So to call it Aldiss one because one trilogy, out of the many millions of books he's written, qualifies as hard sf is silly.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Marc Bergevin knew the Montreal Canadiens needed help on offense and the general manager went out and did something about it.
Bergevin's biggest move to boost scoring, of course, came when he landed prolific sniper Thomas Vanek at the deadline from the New York Islanders.
Vanek certainly factored into Montreal's Game 1 win in Tampa Bay on Wednesday night, but another forward acquired by Bergevin played the role of overtime hero against the Lightning.
Dale Weise, a speedy but low-scoring winger, came to the Habs from Vancouver on Feb. 3 and only cost Bergevin defenseman Raphael Diaz, who has since been traded to the New York Rangers. Weise scored three times in a 17-game run with Montreal in the regular season and he came up with a timely goal in OT of a road Game 1.
It was the first playoff point for Weise in his seventh postseason tilt
"I can't remember the last time I had an overtime goal, so that one feels pretty good," Weise quipped.
Weise scored off a pretty backhand feed from linemate Daniel Briere, ending an entertaining 5-4 contest with under two minutes remaining in the extra session. The wrister from just below the right circle beat a hapless Anders Lindback on his stick side after Briere successfully held off Tampa Bay defenseman Eric Brewer behind the net to deliver a perfect pass.
Fittingly, Briere is another recent Bergevin acquisition, albeit one that came over the summer and not during the season. Although Briere did little to justify his two-year, $8 million deal with just 13 goals and 12 assists in 69 games during the regular season, he showed again on Wednesday why he's one of the best playoff performers around. Briere's assist in Game 1 gives him 110 points (50 goals, 60 assists) in 109 postseason contests.
Weise's goal was the 44th shot of the night for Montreal, which showed, for one game at least, that it could hang offensively with Steven Stamkos and the Lightning.
The Canadiens ended the regular season ranked 21st in the NHL with an average of 2.55 goals per game, considerably lower than Tampa Bay's 2.83 gpg, a number that likely would've been even higher had Stamkos not missed nearly four months of the season with a broken leg.
Stamkos scored twice in Wednesday's contest, but the Canadiens survived that outburst by controlling play for most of the night. When the dust settled, Montreal had posted its sixth game with five goals or more of offense since the middle of March.
Montreal outshot the Bolts by a 44-25 margin to take the early lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference matchup and the Habs fired 22 shots at Lindback in the third period and OT combined. Perhaps Ben Bishop could have stopped a few more of those shots than Lindback did, but it's unlikely Tampa's injured No. 1 goaltender could have prevented Weise's shot from rising into the upper left corner of the net.
While Weise provided the most important goal of the evening, Vanek led the offensive barrage all night long. Montreal boasted six players with four or more shot on goal in Game 1, but none of them were more active than the Austrian winger who fired seven shots on net. Vanek connected one of those shots, converting a slick pass from David Desharnais to beat Lindback and give Montreal a short-lived 4-3 advantage with 8 1/2 minutes left in regulation.
After getting traded from Buffalo to the Islanders earlier this season before moving on to Montreal, it is anybody's guess what Vanek, an unrestricted free agent at season's end, has planned for his future. Maybe a deep run this postseason could convince the 30-year-old to stay with the Canadiens beyond these playoffs, but Montreal doesn't need to worry about that just yet. What's important now is Vanek continues to play the way he did on Wednesday night.
With Carey Price in net and a stout top-four on defense in front of him, the Canadiens needed a little injection of offense to compete at a high level in the playoffs. It was a safe bet the Vanek trade would help that cause, but Weise's play has been a bonus.
Bergevin's in-season moves certainly paid off in the opener when Montreal suddenly looked like an offensive juggernaut. The challenge now is to keep applying the pressure the second Game 2 kicks off Friday night in Tampa.

Only three short months into her new position as CEO of publicly traded golf apparel manufacturer Cutter & Buck, Fran Conley discovers accounting irregularities that call into question the reliability of this company's financial statements. Working closely with her board of directors, Conley must figure out what is really going on. She must also deal with the possibility of SEC sanctions, class action lawsuits, threat of NASDAQ delisting, loss of D&O insurance, departure of senior managers, and problems with access to credit. She is also trying to turn the company around after two years of poor performance.
learning objective:
To address the following questions: What happens when a company grows too fast and loses focus? What are the challenges when a company goes off track? What is the role of the board in working to fix things and how does Sarbanes-Oxley impact that role? How might a company decide whether to go public in the first place?

Fried Radish Cake (菜头粿)
I am a huge fan of Teochew food, a southern China regional cuisine. In Southeast Asia, there are a lot of Chinese of the Teochew descent and many of us are familiar with the homey and delicious Teochew dishes. Today, I am very happy to have Ju at The Little Teochew as a guest writer. Based in Singapore, Ju is a talented home cook and a mother of three. The Little Teochew is a resourceful food blog with many Teochew, Chinese, baking, and everyday recipes. Please welcome The Little Teochew to Rasa Malaysia as she shares her scrumptious fried radish cake (菜头粿) recipe.
Rasa Malaysia is literally an icon in the flogosphere, while I am just The Little Teochew. So, it is a huge honour for me to be guest blogging today.
When Rasa Malaysia suggested a Teochew dish, I knew what I wanted to make – Chai Tow Kway (Fried Radish Cake or 菜头粿). If you live in (or have visited) Southeast Asia, you'd know that this is everyday street food, and a beloved breakfast/supper staple of many Singaporeans and Malaysians…
There are two versions of Chai Tow Kway – white and black. I am featuring both, although I personally live for the black version. ;)
I really enjoyed doing up this post because it brought back many happy childhood memories (hence the "old school" feel of my photos). I grew up eating the Chai Tow Kway at Siglap wet market…those were days when people would BYOE (Bring Your Own Eggs!) for the hawker to fry their Chai Tow Kway with, and ate this dish with toothpicks instead of chopsticks or forks. If you are a child of the 1970s living in eastern Singapore, you will remember this. Ah, nostalgia!
Anyhow, this recipe uses a very high ratio of radish to flour. As my late father would say, "the real deal", where you get to taste the chai tow (radish) and not the flour. Feel free, though, to adjust the proportions of radish, flour and water. Unlike baking, there are no hard and fast rules to making this, and a little more (or less) here and there will not hurt. Do remember that increasing the amount of radish and water will yield a more tender texture, while increasing flour will give you more 'bite'.
I hope you'll enjoy making and eating this dish as much as I did!

These are always so much fun to eat and easy to make thanks for sharing
love your pics.. love the typical coffee cup and and the steel made bowl. Char kuey kak remind me when i was in elementary… outside Phor Tay high school…. long time ago…… :)
anyway, not as fancy as yours…. this is one of my childhood dish :)
I've been wanting to make this for a long time. I bought the flour and the radish, but then I got too lazy. However, you make it look so simple that I'm going to make myself make this!
Hi Bee
Thank you again for this opportunity to guest blog for Rasa Malaysia. It has been my pleasure and privilege. I hope your readers will like this dish. Long live Rasa Malaysia! :D
Warmest regards
Ju!! So happy to be making a comment on one of your excellent dishes!! Believe it or not, I have actually tried my hand at making this dish, though my results certainly pale in comparison to yours and I have never been so lucky as to eat this on the street in Singapore or Malaysia. Sigh – someday. What cool childhood memories! I love how you've brought that to life here. Excellent guest post, my dear!
Trix my dear, I am not surprised that you've tried making this. You're one of the most adventurous cooks/bakers I know of. Thank you for your compliments. I hope that when you do get to eat this dish in the streets of Singapore (at least), I would be the one bringing you out and chomping along! :D
I made something similar to this with shrimp. I would really like to try this recipe. Bookmarked!
i absolutely love the black version too, although they call this carrot cake in singapore!
I love the black version too, especially if they are cooked almost burnt with the burnt aroma, the chai poh is a great addition.
ill try to cook
It is such a delight to see Ju make this dish. The Chai Towkuay looks absolutely scrumptious.
黑的白的? 黑的! I am also a child of the 1970s living in eastern Singapore, and BYOE to a Char Kway Teow stall back in Joo Chiat :P
Your Chai Tow Kueh, I would say, is the perfect bite-size for me. There are many variations to the Kueh-size as well. Some stalls are famous for "pancake style": big pieces of the kueh bind by fried eggs in a round "pancake" vs some Chai Tow Kueh in really tiny pieces that I can't even poke with the fork. :( ….yours looks perfect! I like it this way. BTW, Chai Tow Kueh is one of my fav hawker food :)
Tigerfish, we should meet. We could have been classmates!!! Yeah, 黑的 rules!!
Hi Little Teochew and Tigerfish -by reading both your messages make me missed Joo Chiat. Yes, I remembered we used to have black carrot cake for supper and it cost only 30 cts per packet. In NZ, we do not have such dish only the normal radish cake being served at Dim sum. The dish look yummy.
Hi Jeanne
Kia ora! That's why I really, really enjoyed doing this post. :) So many happy childhood memories. I was telling my children about the old lady at Siglap wet market, who used to cut the huge chunk of radish cake (with a string) for her daughter (or was it her daughter-in-law?) to fry in the giant skillet. The image is etched so vividly in my mind!
Yum! I love these every time I travel to Asia – what a treat :)
Hi Ju, it is great to see your guest post. I had never heard of Teochew cuisine until I stumbled upon your blog. I like the look of the black version too.
This seems to be similar to our Penang Char Koay Kak, except tht we add bean sprouts right?
I love the black version too =)esp the burnt bits! yum…
I grew up preferring the black version but with age, I've starting migrating towards the white one!
Beautiful pictures of a wonderful dish, I feel so hungry looking at them…
This is a fascinating recipe; I would love to taste it!
time to make some more! it has been awhile. this is super yummy.
love it ! thank you…
omg this looks awesome. I cannot stare at the photos for more than 5 seconds or I'll crave for a plate of black carrot cake right away haha
Ju – congrats on the guest post, love your blog =D
Hi! I love this – I get my 'fix' from the 'pasar malam' – night markets here.
Hi, I would love to try this recipe, can you please post a picture of the Rose Brand Thick Sweet Sauce? Thank you.
I too live for the black one, living in NY and went back to Singapore last Aug with my husband. He had it for the first time there and was addicted to it. The best so far in Singapore is in Toa Payoh Lorong 1.
the best white carrot cake is at eminent plaza in singapore. best.
I love to eat the black version when I was in Penang. In Singapore, I still prefer the white one. Ju, your FRC looks so mouth-watering! Two thumbs up!!
Thanks, LK!! :D
This is cool, friend radish cake, I never thought about radishes can be ingredients on cakes =)
Brilliant recipe, Ju! The steps are so detailed and thorough. Thanks.
You have inspired me to try my hand at it. We, Penangites, call it Char Koay Kark. Missing it very much.
I LOVE char dao kueh, it's the dish I miss most from home. I am also a huge fan of LIttle Teochew's blog that I read regularly. I might just attempt this recipe and take some sweet black sauce with me the next time I'm back in Singapore!
Thank you for sharing and both your photos are stunning, as always!
May i ask if kecap manis is the same as sweet sauce? Can i use kecap manis to make the black version? Any idea are there different types of chai po? The one i bought in Australia is very salty…maybe there are sweet and salty chai po, are there? Thanks very much!
I have problem frying them last night, they tend to leave a skin on the frying pan when you try to flip the next side for frying, then you lose them out of control when the skin sticks on to the pan and get burn
Hi Mary, I know what you mean about losing control when flipping. It helps tremendously to use a non-stick skillet (with sufficient oil) and let the pieces really crisp properly before turning over. HTH! Thanks.
I tried the radish cakes and am happy with the final taste – quite close to how I remember it. However, the consistency of the radish cakes was very disappointing. I followed your directions to a 'T'. It turned out very gummy and just clumped together into a starchy mess when fried. I'm not going to give up – want to try it again. Can you suggest to me what I can do differently next time – more flour, less water? Thanks!
Hi Al, glad you tried it out. :) I assume you refrigerated before frying? It makes a difference. I always leave the pieces to brown and crisp thoroughly on one side before turning. And using a non-stick skillet (with oil) helps a lot. Having said that, if you want a firmer radish cake, why don't you try increasing the rice flour by another 100g and see if the texture is what you are looking for? HTH!
Thank you so much !! Your suggestion to add more rice flour helped. Of course, I think I went a little too much and it was firmer than I would've liked but at least I know now to adjust flour and water to get the firmness I desire. BTW, I did not need the 250ml of water – the liquid from the steamed radish seemed enough with the additional flour. I also oiled the cake pan before steaming so that the steamed cake released much easier. I think I need to stop with the experimenting for now – the family is tired of having radish cake every weekend for the last 3 wkends!!
Hi Al, good to know! Hahaha, I think your family's reaction is funny but understandable. :)
Can you please feature a childhood favorite kueh of mine that our locals call "bee pow bee" or rice wrapped in rice. It is a flat peach shapped (tho) kueh with rice flour skin as in "chai kueh", and glutinous rice with bits of dried prawns, mushrooms, halves of roasted peanuts, and thin tiny strips of fatty pork inside.
I enjoy your recipes and being a very long retired person, have the time to try a few of your recipes. Great and keep them coming.
This looks so mouthwatering! Do you know where I can get the Rose Brand sweet sauce in the US? Specifically California?
Hi I had a go making this on the weekend, AND IT'S FANTASTIC!
Hi Christine, that's great! I'm glad to hear. :)
Glad to find this receipe….but can i know why there's bitter taste?? i heard that we should drain the radish dry and discard the water which cause the bitterness, is that true? pls help..need to make some for CNY
I wish I were your neighbour haha…then I will never move house. Your food makes my mouth water. Thanks for sharing them.
Do I need to cover the tin when steaming the radish cake mixture?
Hi Bee,
Could you advise where I could buy the Rose Brand Thick Sweet Sauce in the in NYC or online? My favourite Fried Radish Cake (we call them Carrot Cake in Singapore. I know, odd. Don't know why.
And, thanks so much for posting so many wonderful recipes, I cook because I can't get most Singapore and Malaysian foods here in NYC, let alone authentic ones and I so appreciate that I can find so many recipes on your blog! Thanks again!
Just made my first batch of carrot cake!! It was soo yummmm!! Thank you for the recipe! Quick question.. I have made 2 batches of steam carrot cake. Is it possible to freeze the second batch or do I have to cook them within the next few days? Many thanks!!!
Hi Bee,
Your radish cake recipe is the best I have tried. Easy to follow and definitely a great success with all my London foreign friends who are vegetarians. It is my all time potluck party favourite.
Thanks for sharing..
boonie in London
Am so glad my sis refer this recipe to me, simply love it. Though the texture of my carrot cake was not consistent. Some parts were soft and nice while some were harder. Any idea what's the issue that causing it to be hard?

hot summer color: hot pink!
Right now, the only things I want to wear are head-turning shades of solid color. I'm not sure if it was the overwhelming onslaught of soft, subtle neutrals that pervaded our wardrobes all spring, but suddenly my thirst for bright, bold, nearly shocking pops of color is unquenchable. And the most satisfying of them all has to be hot pink. Just one swipe of this electric hue is enough to perk me up – whether in the form of a sunning statement necklace, the perfect satchel, or even my all time favorite childhood chewing gum.
Here are a few of the fuschia items I'm lusting after today:

Food Service
Food service is an important part of any party. It makes a lasting impression and should therefore be carefully chosen to match the theme of your event. However, unlike decorations, it isn't enough for food to simply look the part. It must also taste the part. Food offered on Willow Glen's menu accomplishes both objectives. Your guests will appreciate the quality ingredients and thoughful care that goes into food served at Willow Glen. From Raspberry Custard Tarts (shown at left) to Fillet Mignon our food service staff carefully selects ingredients and prepares them skillfully just for your party.
Willow Glen's food service staff strives to provide quality food, both in preparation and presentation. Whether a birthday party of 20 toddlers or a 50th anniversary banquet for 200 our staff stands ready to serve your needs. The photo at right shows Willow Glen staff about to serve the first course of a four-course meal to hungry reunion guests. Following the salad is our tangy, Sourdough Bread with butter, then the entrée, in this case Sautéed Pork Loin (shown below left) on a bed of Garlic Mashed Potatos with Green Beans Almondine and Pickled Beets. And finally topped off with one of Willow Glen's delectable desserts.
Sautéed Pork Loin is just one example from dozens of choices available for banquets of all types. Our restaurant manager's favorites include Flat Iron Steak, Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi, Chicken Saltimboca, Buffalo Sirloin and Crab Stuffed Orange Roughy. Our Chef Katrin reccomends Mesquite Roasted Panko Chicken, Barbecue Roast Beef and Lemon Pepper Roasted Salmon.
Side dishes are equally varied including the traditional favorites Baked Russet Potoatoes and Mixed Garden Vegetables as well as Lightly Seasoned Oven Roasted Petite Yukon Gold Potatoes, Stuffed Fresh Summer Squash (grown in Willow Glen's own garden) and Chef Katrin's signature Rosemary Roasted Red Potatoes or Mashed Potatoes, Julienned Pickeld Beets and Green Beans Almondine shown above.
A great dinner deserves a great dessert. Willow Glen offers, without question, the most extensive dessert menu in the area including traditional favorites like Peach Cobbler and "Mom's" Apple Pie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, classical recipes with a twist such as Bananas Foster, Key Lime and Boston Cream Cheesecake and Chef Katrin's own creations. Our restaurant manager Jonathan particularly enjoys Chef Katrin's New England Three Berry Cobbler made with equal parts Black Berries, Red Raspberries, Blue Berries and Love and her Chocolate Xstacy with five types of chocolate baked into a Chocolate Bundt Cake served hot with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and a Brandy Flavored Spun Sugar Garnish.

1. Tarnished
Something was amiss.
The old King stared intently at the pile in front of him, counting each coin out loud as he went- one of them was missing, he was sure of it.
Oh, it might only have been one coin as his advisors told him- one single, solitary coin in a horde of thousands, of tens of thousands, of hundreds of thousands- but...
It was his coin.
What had the saying been, back in his youth?
"Gold must have gold to breed gold."
The words fell unbidden from his lips, but he did not hear them.
One of his coins was unaccounted for, that was all that mattered, and if it had been stolen then woe betide the thief when the old King got his hands upon him.
Nothing was worse than a thief, after all- even the crimes of an oath-breaker or a kinslayer paled before those of one who dared take that which was not theirs.
"Gold must have gold to breed gold."
The words echoed around the treasure chamber like bats, whispering to the old King in the dark.
The old King did not hear them.
He just played with the plain gold ring on his index finger and counted his coins one more time.
Something was amiss.
Something was amiss.
The two dwarves watched as the old King sat alone at the table staring at his plate, mumbling to himself under his breath.
The food was long gone cold, but woe betide any who tried to take it from him- sudden and shocking violence would follow, accompanied by hurled threats and oaths more terrible than even those of the most terrible berserker to their most accursed enemy.
It had long been this way.
He had to be led from his bed to his toilet or he would soil it and himself. He had to be bathed by servants or else fester worse than the most reeking swamp, the foulest midden, the vilest Goblin. Nothing was able to break him from his reverie- not wine, not song, not even his own kith and kin.
"Gold must have gold to breed gold."
Stinking spittle caked his beard, black and filthy against the white, a sickening stain marring fresh-fallen snow.
The younger dwarf turned, eyes beseeching the other for answer.
"What is wrong with him, Father?"
The elder shook his head, sadly.
"Gold-fever, my son. Like tarnish as it creeps over silver, it can overtake even the brightest and best of us without warning and leave us dead and dull and damned."
The younger dwarf's eyes widened with horror.
"Is there nothing we can do for him, Father? Nothing at all?"
The elder shook his head again.
"Nothing, my son. Once the gold-fever sets hold in a dwarf, all that can be done for him is to mourn his passing and to sing of what he once was rather than what he has become."
The younder dwarf's gaze was drawn inexorably back to the maddened husk that now sat in the King's chair as his father continued.
"Let this be a lesson for you, that the forge within you never burns too fierce or furious. Temperance, my boy- that is the only safeguard against gold-fever."
Savagely brushing a tear from his eye, the elder dwarf turned on his heel and walked away, leaving his son with only the poor mad old King for company.
Tears brimmed in the younger dwarf's eyes too, but he did not turn- could not turn.
He just sat and watched as the once-mighty master of Erebor, the once-hallowed King Under The Mountain- his once kind and loving Grandfather Thrór- sat lonely and lost in front of his forgotten dinner, muttering to himself and spinning the plain gold ring that had once sat so firm and snug on his index finger.
Something was amiss.

Wait, wait, is Crown a prequel series or sequel?
I've read Thief of Swords which is, I think, the first two? short novels/novellas of the first series (they're interconnected). They're quite good, I feel. They are not "traditional" fantasy, as opposed to "non-traditional" fantasy because, as I've explained to Mike, the dark stuff has also been a long time regular fantasy "tradition" and Mike's line of "tradition" is still very current and common. (I still owe him a list.) And it's also dark. There's violence and black humor, and genocide and other fun stuff. People who like Abercrombie or Erikson are not going to find Sullivan's stuff strange at all. But if you are looking at antecedents, then yes, Fritz Lieber is obviously it, along with Zelazny, C.J. Cherryh, Peter David, Trudi Canavan, more recently Jon Sprunk, Chris Wooding, Felix Gilman, Scott Lynch, Douglas Hulick, Patrick Rothfuss, etc.
There used to be a saying: "Han Solo with a sword stories" (which is funny since Han Solo is based on Robin Hood and other rogues with swords.) Sullivan's series could definitely fit that. The dialogue is very good. The first scene, which was apparently added for the publisher edition, got me to buy. And what's nice is that he doesn't just stick everything into his two leads (who bicker lovingly like fishwives,) but that he has a lot of really good side characters and other majors. The second part of Thief has a whole village of characters and it might have been kind of cloying, but Mike avoids that for me and pulls off a combo that is poignant, darkly comic and sometimes scary intense. He knows how to work a scene and his military stuff is pretty good. And he comes up with really odd, interesting situations. I'm thinking particularly of a set of stairs (those who have read it will know what I'm talking about.) Quite often, you have thief characters who don't really show off any fancy thieving skills -- that's not an issue in this series.

The Viscount and the Witch....I may one day do a compilation of shorts and print it. I would need a few more shorts first though. If you want a copy of a .pdf that you can print and read - send me an email at michael (dot) sullivan (dot) dc (at) gmail (dot) com.

Sigh - regional issues again for the Kindle version. Not available in Hong Kong (Asia Pacific) where I live.
Kind regards

1. It's just because it is a preorder
2. You're looking at the US version and not the UK version (which is who has the rights for the overseas markets).
Do me a favor....Can you tell me if either of these two links work for you?

"The first thing I saw when I stepped into my Uncle's embalming room was a filthy, plastic mop bucket."

Science Fiction:
A thousand fingers pointed to the sky. The light became so bright that the people cringed, and covered their eyes.
"My fairies will saturate your kingdom in pestilence!"
The dark figure loomed over my prone body. He swung the giant scabbard toward my head. All at once, his chest exploded in a blaze of red.
He stared at the corpus delecti. "This is the cadaver?"
"No, you stupid toad. Put down that pickle. Roxy, stop staring."

Shaya felt his hands on her back, and the urge was too strong: she turned and kissed him, knowing later she would fiercely regret it."Does that mean I'm a failure?"
"No, it means....yeah, it means you're a failure.""I love chicken," she mumbled in ecstcasy.
He turned. "But not as much as I love you."The sky was pure black. The ground was dusty brown. Did that explain why I was turning green? No, I don't think so.The ship rocked slowly, and the waves crashed. And she was part of it all. An unusual gift.....a beautiful one...

The little girl is only nine years old, but she knows blood when she sees it. She remembers that day she fell off her bike and grazed her knee.
With the fifth recital of Jamie's murmured chant, Jenny fell backwards, limp, mid-sentence. The Bottle rattled on its base, twirling until it threatened to topple.
It made her sick, and that was the truth of it, to see Mother liking the saw like that. Especially since Claire had seen what it did to her.
Welcome to my Dalek poetry reading, this one's called daffodils:

"I need....water...."
"But there is none, Zephyr!"
"Then I guess this is.....goodbye.""You can't go in there! You'll die!"
"My parents are in there, Kirea!"
"But it's dangerous..."
"My life is dangerous. Why not take risks?"Marruin saw them, swarming and circling, and she knew with horrible certainty that Luke was dead, and that she was going to die, too.

"The dying words of my grandfather were meant to be heard, but they tumbled between his feeble lips like withered moths with his final breath and were crushed by a roar of thunder."

so sad.....
okay, some more. I like this thread.
The TV was blank....except for that one spot...
She drew closer......what was it?
That was when the house exploded.Lightning flashed, illuminating the figure on the cliff. She smiled menacingly, then jumped as her lover screamed below.I unfurled my wings and flew onward.....that is, until the gunmen started firing.

I find that most writing deals with the sense of sight, or sound. Very few people ever attempt to write descriptives dealing with the sense of smell. Perhaps because it is unnervingly difficult, or perhaps because it just doesn't occur; I'm not sure.
In any case, when I was in highschool -- oh, so many years ago -- I began a short story with a line dealing with the sense of smell. I don't know if it's a 'hook', or even worth keeping, but I'll throw it into the mix:
The docks were old, salty smelling, and given to the occasional waft of sun-dried fish.
That's all.

Interesting. I never realized that. Well, I'll give it a go...
The air was fresh and clean, and the wind carried the scent of something beautiful....well, something that was once beautiful.

How does one overthrow an empire? he thought. "Simple is best," he whispered, wheeling around to face his Emperor. His sword sang in its flight.

This is a very good thread. Lets give it a go...
I raised me face from my bloodied prey, crimson drops caressing down my chin. I took in the wintry air and thought, "God! that feels good".
This was a sunny day. Looking down at her brother's corpse, something snaped inside Rayna's mind. Time for revenge. A sunny day, indeed...
Laying on is back, Rafe breathe in, trying to find the scent of leather, iron and cold sweat. The scent of his brothers in arm.

"I so don't want to get into this mess", he thought with a sigh, before he charged the door open and met the unknown...People can be so judgemental! A girl can't even have a tiny bit of human flesh in her frig without being called a monster...

Jimmy Akin was born in Texas and grew up nominally Protestant. At age 20 he experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant pastor or seminary professor, Jimmy started an intensive study of the Bible, but the more he immersed himself in Scripture, the more he found it to support the Catholic faith. He entered the Church in 1992. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in the book Surprised By Truth.
Akin is Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a member on the Catholic Answers Speakers Bureau, a weekly guest on the global radio program, Catholic Answers LIVE, a contributing editor for Catholic Answers Magazine, and the author of numerous publications, including the books Mass Confusion, The Salvation Controversy, The Fathers Know Best, and Mass Revision.
His personal blog is www.jimmyakin.com.
Catholicism for Dummies presents the rich tapestry and history of the Catholic Church -- from devotions to doctrines. You'll find within these pages everything you wanted to know about the Catholic Faith.

22 year old actress Q'orianka Kilcher climbs from a makeshift platform on the anchor chain of the "Clipper Hope" cargo ship and returns to the Greenpeace ship "Rainbow Warrior" near the port of São Luis do Maranhão, Brazil. The seven day protest is currently stopping the ship from loading pig iron which is a key ingredient in the steel making process. Greenpeace research has linked this commodity to rainforest destruction, slave labor and the invasion of indigenous land. The steel is eventually bought by major car companies including Ford, GM, BMW and Mercedes.05/21/2012

Update - now fixed.
There's probably a more efficient way to do this rather than the relatively long perl program, but perl is my hammer, so text processing looks like a nail.
This is of course a lot to type all at once. You can make it better by putting this somewhere:
clf () { (curl -d "q=$@" http://www.commandlinefu.com/search/autocomplete 2>/dev/null) | egrep 'autocomplete|votes|destination' | perl -pi -e 's/<a style="display:none" class="destination" href="//g;s/<[^>]*>//g;s/">$/\n\n/g;s/^ +|\([0-9]+ votes,//g;s/^\//http:\/\/commandlinefu.com\//g'; }
Then, to look up any command, you can do this:
clf diff
This is similar to http://www.colivre.coop.br/Aurium/CLFUSearch except that it's just one line, so more in the spirit of CLF, in my opinion.
OK, not the most useful but a good way to impress friends. Requires the "display" command from ImageMagick.
Using perl, here, we grep the man page of fetchmail to find the paragraph starting with '-k | --keep' and ending before the paragraph starting with '-K | --nokeep'
Good for summing the numbers embedded in text - a food journal entry for example with calories listed per food where you want the total calories. Use this to monitor and keep a total on anything that ouputs numbers.
This one-liner will the *delete* without any further confirmation all 100% duplicates but one based on their md5 hash in the current directory tree (i.e including files in its subdirectories).
Good for cleaning up collections of mp3 files or pictures of your dog|cat|kids|wife being present in gazillion incarnations on hd.
md5sum can be substituted with sha1sum without problems.
The actual filename is not taken into account-just the hash is used.
Whatever sort thinks is the first filename is kept.
It is assumed that the filename does not contain 0x00.
As per the good suggestion in the first comment, this one does a hard link instead:
find . -xdev -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | perl -ne 'chomp; $ph=$h; ($h,$f)=split(/\s+/,$_,2); if ($h ne $ph) { $k = $f; } else { unlink($f); link($k, $f); }'
Print out list of all branches with last commit date to the branch, including relative time since commit and color coding.
tail with coloured output with the help of perl - need more colours? here is a colour table:
attribution: Thanks to repellent on perlmonks.org
get a list of temps of your hard-drives.
Consider this line :
random perl language this make possible is
is possible to rearrange words with $F perl variable and word index, starting from 0.
bash.org is a collection of funny quotes from IRC.
WARNING: some of the quotes contain "adult" jokes... may be embarrassing if your boss sees them...
Thanks to Chen for the idea and initial version!
This script downloads a page with random quotes, filters the html to retrieve just one liners quotes and outputs the first one.
Just barely under the required 255 chars :)
You can replace the head -1 at the end by:
awk 'length($0)>0 {printf( $0 "\n%%\n" )}' > bash_quotes.txt
which will separate the quotes with a "%" and place it in the file.
and then:
strfile bash_quotes.txt
which will make the file ready for the fortune command
and then you can:
fortune bash_quotes.txt
which will give you a random quote from those in the downloaded file.
I download a file periodically and then use the fortune in .bashrc so I see a funny quote every time I open a terminal.
This command might not be useful for most of us, I just wanted to share it to show power of command line.
Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination.
This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version.
There was another line that was dependent on having un-named screen sessions. This just wouldn't do. This one works no matter what the name is. A possible improvement would be removing the perl dependence, but that doesn't effect me.
When Ldapsearch queries an Active directory server, all the dates are shown using a timestamp of 18 digits. This perl regexp decodes them in a more human friendly notation. 11644473600 corresponds to some microsoft epoch.
xml with verbose commenting can be difficult to read. remove comments from xml.
Converts windows lined-style file to unix.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline
Can be used to convert from linux2dos : just invert \r\n and \n.
An improved version of http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1772/simple-countdown-from-a-given-date that uses Perl to pretty-print the output. Note that the GNU-style '--no-title' option has been replaced by its one-letter counterpart '-t'.
This command will replace all instances of 'foo' with 'bar' in all files in the current working directory and any sub-directories.
This command will replace all instances of 'foo' with 'bar' in all files in the current working directory.
Many Mac OS X programs, especially those in Microsoft:Office, create ASCII files with lines terminated by CRs (carriage returns). Most Unix programs expect lines separated by NLs (newlines). This little command makes it trivial to convert them.

Hefty fine tarnishes MTA image
Sunday, January 13, 2013
Branding is a powerful thing, even when you have captive customers. Take the Maine Turnpike Authority.
All has turned sour, however, as I'm still reeling from a fine I received for driving through the E-Zpass toll lane without being an E-Zpass customer.
To add insult to injury, you had to read the fine print to realize you could not just send them a check. Payment had to be either in a money order or bank check. This cost me an additional $4 where I bank, People's Bank, thank you very much, which did not do anything to help make it easier to swallow.
They send you a letter asking for the toll plus $1. "It's no big deal," according to the NH Turnpike Authority representative I talked to.
The solution is to never use the E-Zpass only lane so you can back up and pay when you forget which vehicle you have (never mind the other motorists behind you.) Or to register all your vehicles with E-Zpass but then you have to remember to move the transponder.

text: Top 10 NBA Finals Storylines Category Basketball Mike's Takes Photo Galleries Sports 1 - LeBron winning an NBA Title (credit: Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) This would be his first, after entering the league in 2003, and validate his decision to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. When Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant won their first championships, they quickly began racking them up. 2 - Dirk winning an NBA Title (credit: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) More of a culmination for Dirk Nowitzki than for LeBron, who most (all?) of us assume will get titles at some point. Nowitzki has been brilliant in these playoffs, but this may be Dallas's last best shot to win the NBA Finals. 3 - Pat Riley (credit: Doug Benc/Getty Images) Think about this: if Miami wins this series, Riley would have won multiple championships as a head coach (in two different cities), and then assembled another title team as an executive. The worst thing on his resume would be a fairly successful stint with the Knicks in the 90s. 4 - American Airlines (credit: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) Definitely a coup for the airline company to have both arenas in Dallas and Miami sponsored. In a time of high fuel prices and a general negative public outlook on the airline business, I imagine the executives are looking forward to the next few weeks of publicity. 5 - NBA Titles in Texas (credit: Tom Pennington/Getty Images) Among the Texas Triangle, only the Mavs lack NBA championship hardware, while the Spurs have 4 rings, and the Rockets have 2. This would give Dallas an ultimate validation of what has been a really successful decade on the court. 6 - Jason Kidd (credit: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) Kind of hidden behind the big stars in this series, but Kidd led the Nets to two NBA Finals appearances. Unfortunately for him, New Jersey couldn't really compete with either the Spurs or Lakers. Kidd is a future Hall of Famer, but having a ring would probably give this a Wade Boggs-in-1996 type of storyline. 7 - Mike Bibby (credit: Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images) He won a national championship at Arizona alongside Miles Simon, and now has a chance to get a ring in the NBA. Bibby is a pure role player nowadays, but he came very close to reaching the Finals with the Kings in 2002. Now part of the supporting case, Bibby has a chance at NBA hardware. 8 - Ratings (credit: Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) The TV numbers have been great for the NBA in both the regular season and postseason. With a showcase series, two sizeable markets, and lots of big stars, that trend should continue over the next two weeks. 9 - Erik Spoelstra (credit: Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) He was rumored to be on his way out early in the season, when the vultures in the sports media figured that Riley would slide down to the bench. Spoelstra has deftly managed a team full of haves and have-nots, with media scrutiny way before day one of the season. A title would be one of the most impressive coaching jobs from a 1st-or-2nd year coach in all of sports. 10 - Juwan Howard (credit: Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) No member Michigan's Fab Five has ever won an NCAA Title or an NBA Finals. Howard played alongside Ray Jackson, Jimmy King, Jalen Rose, and Chris Webber in college, falling to Duke and North Carolina in back-to-back national championship games. Webber was the most successful NBA player out of the group, but fell short of the ultimate goal with the Kings. It's a very under-the-radar storyline, but I'm sure the other four members of this famed group will be rooting hard for Howard to win a ring for the Fab Five.

For Notre Damegathers together the important contributions of a devoted Holy Cross priest to the continuing debate over the mission and identity of the University of Notre Dame. Read together, these essays and addresses by one of the most consistent and committed participants in this ongoing discussion serve to cast vital light on many of the major issues that Notre Dame has confronted in the past two decades. Fr. Bill Miscamble's spirited essays in For Notre Dame cover a range of topics and reflect his multiple roles at Notre Dame, where he has taught for a quarter century. An award-winning scholar and a noted teacher Miscamble writes thoughtfully of the place of teaching and research in Catholic universities. Crucially, he also is unafraid to explore more contentious subjects like the composition of the faculty and the responsibilities of faculty members who serve in a Catholic university like Notre Dame. Nor has he backed away from the controversies that have beset Notre Dame in recent years. In this volume a reader can learn how he courageously addressed such matters as academic freedom and The Vagina Monologuesand, of course, how he protested the Notre Dame decision to honor President Barack Obama at its 2009 Commencement. Throughout this engaging volume, Miscamble's distinctive voice rings clear. His passion for Notre Dame's Catholic mission is evident on every page. Also evident is his deep concern for the moral and spiritual well-being of Notre Dame's students and his deep commitment to the priesthood and to the Congregation of Holy Cross. For Notre Dameis essential reading for all those who love Notre Dame and who are interested in its past, present, and future. It is a book that asks its readers to reflect deeply about the ongoing struggle to determine the university's present mission and its future course. Readers including faculty, students, administrators, trustees and alumni will surely discover through its pages how they too might stand more truly for Notre Dame.
