Global Perspective on the Millenium Development Goals
MDGs in a developing world:
A global comparison of MDG achievement would reveal that Africa's development is far behind the rest of the world. Unless substantial efforts are made by countries in the region and donor countries in the developed world, most will be unable to reach the goals of the Millennium Declaration by the target of 2015.
The rest of the developing world shows improved levels of development when compared to Africa; however, large segments of their populations remain in conditions that require sustained efforts to reach the MDGs. After Africa, Asia and Latin America account for the majority of men and women living in extreme poverty and lacking proper access to adequate health care. In order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in an equitable manner, developing countries must explore the information beyond the statistics. Without addressing their needs, countless human beings will continue to live in conditions of extreme poverty and structural neglect.
MDGs challenges at the World Summit:
At the 2005 World Summit the United Nations High-Level Plenary Meeting held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York from September 14th through the 16th. During this time, the world's leaders renewed their commitment to the Millennium Development Goals and agreed to take action on a range of global challenges. Some of these challenges include:
· Strong and unambiguous commitment by all governments, in donor and developing nations alike, to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
· Additional $50 billion a year by 2010 for fighting poverty.
· Commitment by all developing countries to adopt national plans for achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2006.
· Agreement to provide immediate support for quick impact initiatives to support anti-malaria efforts, education, and healthcare.
· Commitment to innovative sources of financing for development, including efforts by groups of countries to implement an International Finance Facility and other initiatives to finance development projects, in particular in the health sector.
· Agreement to consider additional measures to ensure long-term debt sustainability through increased grant based financing, cancellation of 100% of the official multilateral and bilateral debt of heavily indebted poor countries (HIPCs). Where appropriate, to consider significant debt relief or restructuring for low and middle income developing countries with unsustainable debt burdens that are not part of the HIPC initiative.
· Commitment to trade liberalization and expeditious work towards implementing the development dimensions of the Doha work program.

Brownsville, Tx — A weekend bomb threat at the University of Texas at Brownsville has led to the arrest of a Harlingen student.
"This will be the second bomb threat and I have been here for twenty years and I take any bomb threat seriously," says UTB Police Chief John Cardoza.
Police say 25-year-old Henry McFarland was arrested Sunday afternoon after the suspect called in a bomb threat to a national crisis hotline. Reports indicate that McFarland made the threat after another student made a derogatory comment against Islam that was directed at the suspect.
"He was upset to the point that he was going to come back onto campus this following week and blow him and up and blow up a building," says Cardoza.
Authorities searched McFarland's home and found no weapons or explosives. A search was also conducted on campus which also led to zero findings.
McFarland appeared in court Monday morning where he was issued a $10,000 dollar bond.

Vladimir Parpura, M.D., Ph.D.
Primary Department Affiliation: Neurobiology
Primary Research Area: Ion channels and Synaptic Function
Systems Neuroscience and Vision
Recent Publications
Vladimir Parpura, M.D., Ph.D holds both a medical degree, awarded from the University of Zagreb in Croatia in 1989, and a doctorate, received in Neuroscience and Zoology from Iowa State University in 1993. He has held faculty appointments at the Department of Zoology and Genetics, Iowa State University and the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience, University of California Riverside. He is presently an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurobiology, University of Alabama Birmingham.
His current research includes: i) studying the modulation of calcium-dependent glutamate release from astrocytes in health and disease; ii) visualization of vesicular/receptor trafficking; iii) examination of the nature and energetics of interactions between exocytotic proteins using single molecule detection approaches; iv) development of scaffolds and dispersible materials, most notably modified carbon nanotubes, which can be used in repair after brain injury and v) bio-mimetic micro-robotics. He has been interfacing neuroscience with nanoscience/nanotechnology, synthetic biology and biomedical engineering.
Additional Research
Glial cells were long considered to serve merely as the supporting cast and scenery against which the starring neuronal roles would be played out. Relatively recent evidence, however, indicates that glial cells are intimately involved in many of the brain's functions, including its computational power. Our research has been instrumental in demonstrating a novel functional role for glial cells. Hence, astrocytes, a sub-type of glial cell, can exocytotically release the neurotransmitter glutamate and, in turn, that glutamate released from astrocytes can signal to adjacent neurons. Indeed, by releasing glutamate, astrocytes can modulate synaptic transmission in response to experimental stimuli. Since intracellular calcium ion levels critical for secretion from astrocytes are within the physiological range, this release of glutamate from astrocytes could represent an additional site for modulation of synaptic transmission and integration in the CNS.

This fascinating itinerary focuses on Italy's most celebrated treasures: the "Eternal City" of Rome and the verdant hilly landscape of Tuscany. Your vacation begins with two overnights in Rome and guided sightseeing that introduces you to the city's highlights. Traveling northward, your base in Tuscany is the spa town of Montecatini, where you'll spend four nights. It is ideally situated for discovering Florence with its Renaissance masterpieces, Pisa with its Leaning Tower, Siena and San Gimignano with their medieval castles and towers, and olive groves and vineyards from which the country's celebrated olive oil and Chianti wines are produced. Returning south, stop at St. Francis' Assisi before spending a final night back in Rome—an unforgettable journey for the eyes and tastebuds!
Headsets throughout the tourSightseeing: Visits to Greve in Chianti, Montecatini, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, Assisi
Scenic Highlights: Chianti Valley
Local Guides for city sightseeing in Rome and Florence. Professional Tour Director while touring
Check into your hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to explore this ancient capital. This afternoon, meet your Tour Director and fellow travelers.
The "Eternal City" is steeped in history, vibrantly alive, exciting, and absolutely unique! Included sightseeing with a Local Guide starts in St. Peter's Square, followed by a visit to the Roman Forum and the mighty Colosseum. Time, too, for your own exploring, shopping, or just relaxing at a sidewalk café. (B)
Today, leave Rome, heading north through the famous Chianti vineyards. Stop in the village of Greve to visit the Vicchiomaggio wine cellars, where a renowned Chianti wine is made. Indulge in an included typical Tuscan lunch, before heading to Pisa to visit the famous Square of Miracles with the Leaning Tower. Continue to Montecatini, an idyllic spa town conveniently located to explore the best of Tuscany. You will be staying at the Grand Hotel Bellavista (F) for the next four nights. (B,L,D)
A day of leisure or an opportunity to join an included excursion to visit Siena and San Gimignano. Siena, without a doubt, is Tuscany's most beloved and inviting city. A walk through its narrow streets lined with medieval palaces into the Piazza del Campo, which is shaped like a fan, is truly a memorable experience. San Gimignano, a hilltop town with more towers than churches, is uniquely situated among vineyards, olive groves, and the delightful Tuscan countryside. (B)
Enjoy a full-day excursion to the city known as the "Cradle of the Renaissance." Traffic is banned in part of the historic center, so visitors can wander at leisure and admire Florence's timeless beauty. The included walking tour with a Local Guide will introduce you to the city's highlights. (B)
A day to do as you please or to join an optional half-day excursion to two of Tuscany's best-known cities. First to Lucca, renowned for its narrow streets, quaint shops, and magnificent palaces and churches. Next, to Vinci, the birthplace of that true Renaissance genius, Leonardo. (B,D)
Travel south today for a first stop in the walled city of Assisi, home of the mystical St. Francis. Marvel at the remarkable treasures of the magnificent basilica, then leave this peaceful old town to head across the Apennines to Rome. Celebrate your last evening in Rome by joining the optional farewell dinner. (B)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (B)
Transportation: Scheduled transatlantic flights and airport transfers in Rome if Cosmos issues the tickets. Touring by private first-class air-conditioned motorcoach
Buffet breakfasts; 1 lunch; 2 dinners
With Cosmos, there's no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. Averaging over a decade... we'd like you to meet a Tour Director, who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your vacation.
Sharing some of the most enchanting wonders of my home country with new people is always fulfilling. I love introducing travelers to the charm of the "Eternal City," the art and architecture of Florence, the romantic magnetism of Venice, and the mouthwatering food and wines. I enjoy every second of our time together-it's hard to say goodbye!

This is part 2 of old ads I dug up for the Harry Browne 2000 presidential run. These were turned down by comedy central because they said they would not play anything political. Boy have they changed their tune. These ads mainly focus on the War on Drugs and Gun rights. I can't believe he has been gone 5 years, happy B-day Harry!

On August 23rd myself, Teddy2k, Grafinator, kowgirl katie and my mom(Gorgeous grandma) hiked up to Lady Peak. For those who don't know Lady Peak is just SE of Mount Cheam. The trail up to the peak was hard to find at times we could see cairns going up the mountain so we followed those up most of the way. We made it up to the first look out without getting lost and taking what I think was the correct trail up. The first look out is amazing overlooking Cheam and Jones Lake. The trek up to the peak is a rocky ridge with a shear drop off on one side and a very steep mountain on the other. T2K, Graf and I left the girls back at the lookout and made our way up, what a RUSH!!! Caches placed that day on Lady Peak - GC1WT5K, GC1XNBW & GC1XNM4. Here we are at the peak, 7,146 ft up in the clouds with Mount Cheam in the backgroud. We were PEAKED OUT!!!

In August, while out caching with my girls in Derby Reach park, we came across a juvenile Western toad. He was taking advantage of the early morning sun streaking down between the dense forest canopy and was either too comfortable to move, or was playing the "maybe he doesn't see me" card. This allowed me to move in to get a nice close up shot. _________________Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Oliverthenakedbear was in Toronto in October 2009 to attend the Canadian Conference of Dementia. Taking the red eye flight from Toronto, he had nothing to preoccupy himself that morning until he could check in at 3pm. What to do? Geocache of course. There are 3-4 virtual caches in downtown Toronto, but one of the best is GC6069. The story behind the cache is that Mr. Lennox, the architect for Old City Hall of Toronto, wanted to be remembered after he had built this landmark. The city officials refused to have a plaque or statue erected in his honour so out of spite, Mr. Lennox decided to leave a message that would stand the test of time. His secret message was carved along the corbels around the building. It is interspersed so it was not obvious unless you knew what you were looking for. 118 years later, it is still there. To log the virtual, one had to go to the coordinates and walk around Old City Hall pretending to be 'Tom Hanks' from Da Vinci Code and decipher the message. Cool eh? Thanks to geocaching, I got to log a cache, spend a great morning in Toronto, and got a tour of downtown! The picture is me, Oliverthenakedbear, in front of Old City Hall. It was my 39th find. Of course the background is blurred out so it would not take the fun out of the cache!

It took me the better part of half an hour to get this shot, there were many others of this beautiful bird, you just have to look at the face to see this as nature at it's best. Getting this picture far outweighed the finding of the cache.

During our annual "Fantasy and Fire" outdoor event, Vancouver was subjected to one of the worst thunder storms in 50 years. It was an amazing light show. I have deep respect for everyone that hung around (even if it was just for a smiley) but this picture proves that Vancouverites really don't know to get out of the rain. Even I was standing out in the open with an umbrella. Not the smartest move. I do applaud everyone for sticking around and keeping a brave face. It was a great time even if everyone was soaked and sorry looking before nightfall. Oh yea, the storm ended minutes after the event was over.

They also say those that can not see the spirits in what lies so clearly before them are doomed to forever walk the earth with an inability to use their imagination and creativity. Caching is just that - imagination, creativity & passion for believing in your ability to do something. Being able to take an idea, a quick burst of thought and capture it's essence in a bottle for others to drink in and enjoy - almost like being able to capture the laugh of a innocent child. Caching bring forwards exploration and seeing of things in a different light then we view the world in it's every day format - it brings forth a way to stop and smell the drops of dew on a fresh cut lawn & the warmth of 2 people as their smiles explode as they tell of their favorite adventure. There are stories of pictures taken while finding a cache, stories of pictures taken while looking for locations to cache - then there is the story of the spiritis that speak to those that are just "passing by" that call to them to just stop and see what is up that road and to their suprirse they see multitudes of spirits speaking to them that they are driven to share with others (in about 10 months) as you know the spiritis that are contained within the rocks are those that have given their souls to protect the area. -= How many faces do you see?

The trip was 9 days long, and we cached in B.C., Idaho, Montana, and Alberta. The geocache I chose for my 3000th was GC13TKG, which is along the Bad Lands Interpretive Trail at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. The trail was a nice walk and has many information boards to explain the area. After doing the cache we went into the museum which is an amazing experience. The day turned out perfect, and we knocked off more than half of the caches in Drumheller before heading out. For me, geocaching trips like this create awesome memories, great photos, and exciting stories to share with your friends. To me, this is what geocaching is all about, making new friends and getting outside and discovering new places. _________________I find your lack of faith disturbing. - Darth Vader Back to top AfternoonshiftJoined: Jul 09, 2008Posts: 10Location: Sechelt, BC Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 10:17 pm Post subject: Re: PHOTO CONTEST If it wasn't for geocaching I would not have this photo. After all, who would go up a mountain in early Nov. with the threat of snow, light drizzle and the temperature hovering around freezing, if not for a cache. This photo was taken last year and it did snow a couple of days later, covering the cache till spring. That's what we like about caching, it gets us out and pushes us farther than we would normally go. We are getting close to 900 and have really enjoyed the past caches and are looking forward to all the future ones.

That's our son getting ready to make a splash. The chute is a naturally formed rock passage, worn smooth by the water that empties into a small pool, perfect for sliding down. It's a mountain creek, so the water is a little chilly. A little further down the creek is a picturesque 30ft waterfall. This is a cache site that we will return to many times, especially on a hot summer day. I really liked the owl picture posted by IRLPGUY – well done. Thanks for the contest.

We started off in Lytton where a shotgun start caused a mad scramble for FTF's. Everyone went their separate ways and the event was full steam ahead. Throughout the day I crossed paths with many other cachers but it wasn't until I had cleaned up the Lytton caches that I caught up with grafinator and Kowgirl Katie. We ended up teaming up for the rest of the day and decided early that we wanted to go for the full pull and score the 24 required caches to obtain a Gold Country 24K Bar Geocoin. After a lot of driving and a lot of searching we had finally reached our goal with the Marble Canyon cache which just so happened to be our camping spot for the night. I snapped this photo of Crown Lake which looked awfully refreshing after a long day of searching for caches in dusty, desert like conditions. The lighting seemed perfect and so to were the cold beers we had back at the campsite. If it weren't for the leeches in the lake we would have jumped in...but not everything can escape Murphy and his Law.

We ended up having a great time and I appreciate Peppy indulging my adventures. The very next cache that we stopped at was where we found this lovely mushroom.

And it's been great teaming up with Loungelions who have the same spirit and attitude. And one of cachings ironies is when wrong ends up being the adventure . Loungelions and I were out caching in Ioco on an extremely fine autumn day in a fresh washed world. A cache came up as closest and auto routing brought us to a likely place. Took one trail that didn't seem right, found another that seemed better and followed it till it vanished and we ended up stalled by a swamp. On this lovely day the afternoon autumn sunlight streamed through here and there, highlighting nature's glory. We convened on a high spot deciding to backtrack and figure out where we we'd gone astray. As we picked our way back through the forest, a big buck who was so utterly unconcerned with us that he just kept coming, passing with within 20 feet. By the time I got the camera out of my pocket, out of its bag, turned on, he was behind a large tree so was only able to get the one shot before he veered off and vanished in the woods. At least the memory of the whole event is in our minds. If auto routing had steered us true we'd never have had this moment. Sometimes what seems like a delay is simply part of the adventure of caching. We did make it to the right trail and found our nicely hid cache yet the memory of the 'wrong' trail is what stands out most. _________________Life's greatest treasure is its uncertainty.

This is Mr. C's Entry: On a very fun day out caching with goinggone, we stumbled upon an unusual site. On the trail to Woodhenge(GC1QXHV) we came across what looked to have been an Eagle Feeding Ground. Along with a few eagle feathers, we got this really cool looking picture of all the fish bones. This is Mrs. C's Entry: On the same day of caching with goinggone we were up getting the cache nelbo(GC11CY4) when all of a sudden we heard this weird noise.... "is that someone hammering??" we had noticed that there was another car that was parked at GZ when we arrived and it didn't seem to crazy for other cachers to be there. But then we looked up! There on the rock face 1/2 up this mountain was... The Rock Climber! We love the areas and cool images that geocaching brings us!

Peking Pork Chops (京都排骨)
It has become a long standing Chinese tradition to serve a variety of foods that symbolize good luck and prosperity during the New Year's Eve Reunion Dinner to usher in the Lunar New Year. One example is steamed fish because the Chinese word for fish 鱼(yú) sounds similar to the word 余, which means surplus or abundance. Another is whole chicken, which represents completeness or togetherness.
In the spirit of the upcoming Lunar New Year, I have prepared another pork dish of Chinese origin to add to my series of delicious Chinese New Year recipes – Peking Pork Chop (Jing Du Pork, 京都排骨). The pig is a symbol of plumpness or abundance therefore any pork dish is an auspicious symbol of prosperity. The sweetness and stickiness of the Peking style glaze respectively signify "a sweet year ahead" and "family cohesiveness". And to top it all off, the color of the sauce is red, which is the Chinese color for celebration, prosperity, and longevity.
The tenderness and juiciness of the pork coupled with the sweet, tart and smoky taste of the sauce makes this a perfect dish to serve with steamed rice. And that is why Peking Pork Chops is one of the most popular items on the menu of Chinese restaurants today.

Wow, this was one of my favorite foods growing up! I can't wait to try this recipe!
This is my son's favorite dish! Thanks for the recipe. Now I can make this at home for him!!!
"1/4 teaspoon sweet bean sauce, or Hoisin sauce"
Is that amount correct?
1/4 teaspoon seems almost like nothing.
Sweet been sauce can be fairly salty, but pungent. Yes, that is the right amount to use. You don't need it if you find it troublesome.
Hi, Bee!
This chops are seriously beautiful!
Just a small question: Are 1/2 inch thick slices not to too thick? On the photo they look not so thick.
Thanks again for excellent recipe!
Thanks, Alex. If you prefer to cut it down thinner, its fine. I do, however find it better to manipulate the tenderness of the meat when I cut it slightly thicker, and then use the mallet to pound it down to my liking. I like a thicker cut, the end result is rewarding. You will get moist, tender and juicy pieces pieces of pork melt in your mouth!
This looks delicious and would love to cook this for my family during the coming CNY. Thanks for sharing and wishing you Gong Xi Fa Cai:)
Is Shaoxing Rice Wine the same as Shaoxing Wine?
You will need to look for the label 'Shaoxing Wine'(which is made from fermented rice),'Shaoxing Hua Tiao Wine'(same as regular Shaoxing, but higher level of alcohol, OR if you prefer regular 'Rice Wine'(made from rice), and used in many other Chinese and Taiwanese dishes. Hope that helps.
So do you think Japanese sake (rice wine) would work in this recipe? I drink sake but have never tried either of the Shaoxing wines so don't know the difference.
Although cooking Sake and Shaoxing have very different flavor, I'm sure its fine since the recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon. If you prefer or want to give it a try, go ahead and let me know how it goes. The closest thing to Shaoxing would have to be cooking Sherry wine and Gin.
Another amazing looking dish Bee! Can't wait to try making this!
Thank you for posting this dish! I have been searching thru the web just few days ago and yours just came at the right time. You bet, I am going to make this for CNY! Thanks lots and lots!! Muak…muak….
This sounds amazing! I'm just curious about which kind of chili sauce. Is it something like sriracha or like samba?
For this recipe, I use Lingham chili sauce. You can also use Thai sweet chili sauce.
it looks so yummy! are you using traditional plum sauce or the americanized one in the recipe?
You can find traditional plum sauce in most Asian grocery stores. Looks like orange marmalade.
Seems like the print button just takes you back out to the recipe. Can you please fix this? Thanks!
Sorry for the inconvenience. Will fix the problem soon.
Its working fine now. And make sure you are a subscriber and registered with RM.
Interesting take on the sauce. I've never seen this recipe call for plum sauce, bean sauce and black vinegar. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks!
Yum yum! This is a dish we regularly order when we go out :) i didn't know it was so simply to make it at home ~ gotta get my partner to try sometime hehe
Every family dinner we have features sweet and sour pork chops or pork ribs! Yummy! I love it too.
I just discovered your website and I am truly impressed! You will surely see me here more often… your recipes are wonderful and the pictures are inviting your readers to try out your recipes right away…
Wonderful, congratulations with this beautiful site!
Greetings from Belgium,
Hello, Marian! Thank you and welcome to the blog. Do let me know if there are any questions.
Thank you for rescuing me from the eternal misery of bad food :D
I definitely appreciate being able to read about the historical significance of a dish, and I find your descriptions really help tie in the choice of ingrediants. Thank you.
I think I just might add these to the weekend menu! :-)
Nice ¦=09
This looks absolutely delicious! Something that I haven't had for a long time!!
should somehow find a way to show up @ dinner @ KJ's because of this! ;) heehee
This dish is 10/10. Kong hee fatt choy to you.
That looks so good.
I tried this recipe and my family loved it. the slices i used were thicker than 1/2 inch, but i just cooked it longer and it turned out great. i didn't have black vinegar and used balsamic instead, so i need to try this recipe again with black vinegar, but it was delicious
I see a lot of comments about how good this dish looks, but I don't see any comments about how this recipe turned out. Has anyone tried cooking with this recipe? I'd be interested to know how it turned out…
Thanks Bee! The meat was really delicious, it's so tender and not dry! I wish that it turned as beautiful as yours. It didn't have the nice red glossy coating.. :(
I was planning on making sweet and sour pork tonight, but since seeing this beautiful recipe will make it instead.
I have no black vinigar or plum sauce. Can you suggest substitutions?. I really want to make this tonight, but if it will change the recipe too much I will wait.
I love your site and your cookbook.
Hi Lyndee,
Thank you for your support and do let me know if there are any other questions. As for the recipe, you can omit black vinegar and Plum sauce altogether, or substitute that with balsamic vinegar and orange marmalade or duck sauce. Let me know how it goes.
I'll have to check, but I think I have all of these ingredients! This one is definitely going on my list.
My husband cooked these last night and they were amazing!!!
For some reason, ours didn't turn out such a deep red – I wonder why. But the flavor can't really be improved!
Hi Bee,I am a regular visitor to your wonderful blog & have tried out a few recipes successfully. This recipe for pork shops looks amazing but being a Muslim I don't eat pork. Can we substitute chicken breast for pork? I want to cook this tomorrow so would appreciate your reply.Thanks Zeenath, Bangladesh
Yes, chicken chops sounds great! I'd go with chicken breast and follow the same steps as instructed in the recipe. Let me know how it goes, and thank you for your support.
Hi Bee, I just cooked this and it it really fantastic. Please tell me how to get the red colour into the sauce. mine is more rich dark brown.
also i want more of the irregular crispy coating should i add more egg or more corn starch?
thanks. you are the greatest.
You may deep-fry the pork chops twice. Initial frying for 2-3 minutes at medium-high heat, or until slightly crisp. Set aside for 2 minutes. Before the second frying, add a dash of cornstarch to the leftover Marinade ingredients, or lightly coat the pork chops with a little cornstarch in a separate plate. Head oil to high, quickly turn to medium-high, and deep-fry pork for another 3 minutes, or until crispy.
As for the glaze, rich dark brown is right because of the black vinegar. If you prefer the red hues, reduce black vinegar to 1/2-3/4 tablespoon and add a bit more ketchup and chili sauce to the Sauce ingredients.
Wow i really want to try this recipe
When I was holiday in Sidney with my father, I had this dish nearly everyday! A few months back i had a sudden craving until I saw this recipe posted. My dish was " finger licking " good and thanks for the recipe! You brought back memories … Think I will dish it up again! Thank Bee..

Hi Bee,
Whenever I crave for Malaysian food, I would browse thru your blog. Thank you so much for sharing those tasty recipes.
Lately, I crave for Malaysian favorite Char Siu Wonton Kon Lo noodle. Would you be so kind to satisfy my tummy? ; )
Best culinary regards,
Wow! I just finished making this and the sauce is so good. I'll be using this sauce recipe for other things, too. I have a glass cooktop so I wasn't expecting my pork to get crispy, which it didn't, but even without that the dish was wonderful. Unfortunately, 1 pound of pork wasn't enough for 2 of us because we liked it so much. I'm going to have to make a second batch while the pans are still dirty. Definitely 2 thumbs up. Thanks, Bee!
Hi, this recipe looks amazing and delicious! I want to try making this but can I use bone in pork chops instead of a whole pork tenderloin? Thanks! :)
G'day! Just a friendly follow up as made this recipe "slightly adapted" and it came out GREAT! I would HIGHLY recommend people make! Here is a photo in case you wish to see too!
Thank you for (once again) "inspiring" me to do!
Cheers! Joanne
What's On The List?
If i use spare ribs, will the pork turn out hard?
Just by frying, i think, the rib will not be soft and tender.
I just made this recipe and it did not turn out the way I expected it. Although, your picture looks like how it should be expect for the fact that I usually see it stir fried with onions. Nevertheless, mine–while following your recipe to the "T" with all the correct ingredients–did not turn out well. It definitely did not have the intense tastiness, the wonderfully dark sweet sauce, and the honey-like viscosity of the usual fair that comes with this dish.
When I finished making it I felt I had just produced something from one of those cheap and greasy fast food Chinese places.
Of course, this could all be my fault because the recipe does say "You may add more or less sugar, or other sauce ingredients to your own liking." So, my "liking" may be a little different. However, I feel that living throughout China, LA, and SF and dining at many restaurants I would know how this dish should turn out.
I have just tried this recipe twice this weekend.
It was fantastic.
The friday I made without the egg, added the wine to the sauce and marinaded the sauce with the meat then BBQ'd it. That was good.
Today I tried it this way and that was even better! DO have a go if you are not sure. I have now made it for 18 different people and the feedback has all been good.

Hi Bee, thank you so so much for this finger lickin recipe! You were my saviour today as i had 2kilos of porkchops but not knowing what to do with them. So i found this irresistable picture from Rasa Malaysia and instantly fell in love with the picture. Lucky me on having those Chinese ingredients in my kitchen and within 1hour we were able to enjoy this dish. All i can say is God bless you for sharing this delicious recipe.
Fabulous. The picture looked so tempting I tried these as part of a progressive-feast sort of thing tonight for our 28th anniversary — and was not disappointed. Cheated a little by using my ancient but dependable Fry Daddy instead of my thin-walled cast-iron wok; high-altitude deep-frying (Albuquerque, NM) just seems to go much faster and smoother that way: 3 minutes per batch of 3, bang-bang-bang, and into the sauce and over the rice. Intensely satisfying flavor, incredibly tender and succulent. Ay, caramba — thanks!
What! No baking soda marinade for tenderness?
Yum. Yum. Yum. The yummiest. Kicks the local Chinese restaurant's butt. Will be making this regularly. Recommend.
why are there so many suaces involved that aren't even chinese from origin? E.g. Worshestershire sauce. Isn't there a less complicated, straight forward way to add the desireable taste?
Hi Bee, thank you so much for sharing your recipes.

Not sure if this is a good idea. One of the reasons why X was so successful was its very permissive license.
Not sure if this is a good idea. One of the reasons why X was so successful was its very permissive license.
i for one approve the choice of the license.
LGPL is very permissive license. You can do whatever you want but:
- distributing a modififyed version without releasing the changes.
- statically linking (not proven in court)
looks totally fair to me.
talking about consoles is absurd, period. why should open source programmers worry about some draconic agreements for some of the most closed down systems in existence?
AFAIK those agreements were the reason World of Goo was not open sourced with the humble bundle initiative. if this is the case, it is certain there won't be any contributions back from console crowd. so, why bother?
Uhhh, "you can do everything BUT this and that" is exactly what makes the LGPL quite non-permissive.
Wayland wants to be the next standard windowing system for Linux/Unix. I hope the new license won't alienate possible users or contributors.
the license does not affect the user whatsoever, and i don't see how it can alienate contributors. it will only alienate those who didn't want to contribute to begin with or those that have irrational fears against the GPL world.
neither case deserve the license to be changed.
GPL can be a problem in app store apps (but it makes little sense for free apps, like VLC where some people are kicking up a stink over nothing) but nobody is going to use Wayland in an applicaiton...

Mitchell's combined scoring secured her 6th place in the all around.
Missing from the competition, but present to support her teammates, Kaia Meredith was unable to compete due to a knee injury. The team is coached by Jennifer Pelland and Matt Yellis. The girls return to practice this week to prepare for their next meet to be held January 18-20 at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn.
