Also Ottoman has the strait trigger +20% national trade income modifier which is good, and their lands are rather rich, which is good once they get cores.
Back to subject this thread is about reliably forming Netherlands as Holland. Not strategies to conquer the middle east just because you can. I know I am not the best player in world but I try not to exploit AI and mechanics too much.
@chronicler have you EVER played a game without using some mechanic or AI exploit?
Best moves for Holland:
Dissolve Alliance with Haiunat ... Insult it down to -50 or so
Trade and Wait
Ideally "Claims on Our Rivals" pop at some point during the "Trade and Wait" or shortly afterwards
Then you are all set to form the Netherlands with annexation wars.
Making a quick war to vassalize Tver in 1405 and ally with the TO can already get you a vassal with large amounts of troops and a port in a safe area after 1 war with Novgorod.
DUE TO LOW MANPOWER !!!! it's key to vassalize for larger survival odds.
However, I see no problem at all with the idea that to demand certain concessions/key provinces you have to win a convincing victory. Since you can get 20% just from winning battles and a truckload more from blockades getting to the point where you can demand a 50% peace really isn't all that difficult.
Back on topic. Holland going to Turkey is not playing to Holland's strengths (I don't mind engaging in fake wars with the crusade target for the tax benefits, but that's not the same thing and it is an exploit). You might get a few vassals out of the arrangement, sure, but they're not going to be high-tax vassals and they won't be able to provide worthwhile support in European wars. And it won't help you form the Netherlands.
I don't advocate warring without CB early, either (they give you BB like crazy, which absolutely kills your trade). PUs are good if you can get them (but not reliable), but really, what you want to do very early on is to trade like it's going out of style. Make a few guarantees, warnings and alliances so you can collect vassals when you get the chance. Meanwhile, blitz for Trade Tech 7, then get Quest for the New World, start on naval tech, and start colonizing. You may want to set a goal of beating Portugal to the Azores if you're going for the Americas (it chokes back Portuguese expansion across the Atlantic).
Also, consider a Republic when you reach Government 10. The Netherlands were historically a republic, and DIP 9 will help you get boundary disputes with your neighbors (speeding up the unification).
Boundary disputes wont make unification go any faster as you need to hold and have cores on two provinces beside your own that are both OPM'ers. In my last few games I have been playing on hard with lowered aggressiveness. This has the tendancy to have Burgundy fail sooner but it also usually leaves both Friesland and especially Utrecht almost impossible to take with a lucky CB. I usually wait until I have build up a large colonial empire in the America's and then declare war without a CB. It means trading suffers a for a few years but being able to form the Netherlands is worth the lost income.
I also don't get why people PU Friesland. taking it is so much faster and 8BB isn't so terribly difficult to shake off since all your doing is waiting around anyway for stuff to happen.
This all depends if you plan to stay in the HRE of leave. Both have advantages. If you stay in the HRE you are risking .25 Infamy a year for each unlawful territory and risking the wrath of the Emperor. I had this problem when Burgundy added its Antwerp and Ghent into the empire in the Barbant game. I had to vassalize Holland and Friesland just to keep afloat with the infamy.
Leaving the HRE means you lose all the benefit. Ive seen arguments for leaving and rejoining but I feel that is gaming the system. I feel the HRE is a elite club if you leave your banned from returning even if you look like a sheep in a wolf's clothing.
Why do so many people recommend waiting and essentially doing nothing for decades until you luck into getting the territories? Forming the Netherlands as quickly as you can is very powerful due to the free cores you get, since with them you turn into a cored 9 province power. It gives a serious boost to your military and economy so you can become a major European player before nations grow out of your reach.
Heck, forming the Netherlands before you start colonizing is pretty advantageous in itself. That means you won't get revolt risk in the colonies you owned when you did the tag change. If you developed a colonial empire as Holland and formed the Netherlands, have fun managing revolts until the colonies core.
Taking the two necessary territories through vassalage without CB costs 12 infamy. With CB, it costs 8. If you can't spare that, you're saying that preventing 4 BB is more important than getting early cores on 5 extra provinces. What justification is there for that line of thought?
Provinces you need = HRE. HRE provinces = .25 infamy per province unless it cores. So unless you have a higher infamy loss than .5 per year, you're gaining infamy. In the end, the amount of infamy you gain from taking those 2 provinces without cores (vassaling + waiting for mission that gives free core/claims on rivals/other missions that give cores) gives you 12.5 infamy per province, from the time that you take them to the time that they're cored. On top of the 6 you got from DOWing without a CB and annexing without a CB.
As a free trading nation, whose economy is mostly based on how many cots you can sit in with 5 merchants, that's a lot of infamy. If you do go for the two provinces, sure you can form the Netherlands fast, and if that's what you want to do, great. But there is the loss of tech is quite large. In fact, when I'm playing Holland, by the time I start colonising everyone else in the world is around 2-3 levels lower in everything compared to me before I start colonising.
This is why people advocate "sitting around". You get a large head start on colonising, your military is near unstoppable and you have enough cash to afford everything.
Now, if you want a reliable, fast way to form Netherlands, it's a bad idea. Sure you lose out on some tech, but if forming Netherlands is your goal then just DOWing everyone you can while the Emperor is busy is probably best. I usually wait until I have a unit advantage though, as it doesn't take long for me to get ahead, especially when I'm pumping everything I have into Land tech. Temporarily grabbing military NIs first and then switching them later helps too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dewy Dark ZIng... This T-Disc brews up Hot...but I am still able to drink it shortly after it finishes brewing... It dispenses what I consider to be a half cup of coffee, I am more of an espresso drinker and this is a nice midway between an espresso volume and a full cup of coffee. See picture... This one that has what I consider a "Euro-Coffee" taste. It is a dark roast, and provides a nice zing of caffeine... I got my Tassimo over a month ago, and have been trying a bunch of different selections. Some that do stand out, this one nice to have around for when I want coffee... March 16, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jazzed2b Just an average cup As much as I really wanted to like this cup, I find it only average. It is possible that I have an old package or something since it has a funky off beat aroma that translates into the flavor just a little bit...overall I find this only average, but will try a few more to make sure. I would give this only one thumb up as oppose to two. February 5, 2012

Regular well-child examinations are essential to keeping kids healthy and up-to-date on immunizations against many dangerous childhood diseases.
A checkup also is an opportunity for your doctor to talk to you about developmental and safety issues and for you ask questions you might have about your child's overall health.
At yearly exams, the doctor will weigh and measure your child to make sure he or she is progressing along a normal pattern of growth. The doctor will take a medical and family history and perform a complete physical examination.
During the visit, your child will be screened for high blood pressure and you'll be asked about your child's history of lead exposure and your family's history of cardiovascular disease and hyperlipidemia (an excess of fat and cholesterol and/or other fats in the blood).
The doctor will check your child's immunization record to see if any vaccinations are needed. Booster doses of DTaP, IPV, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, and MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) are usually given between your child's fourth birthday and school entry. A tuberculin skin test (PPD) may be done to check for exposure to tuberculosis. Before flu season, your child should also receive a flu shot.
Additional vaccines might be needed if the doctor determines that your child is at risk for conditions like meningococcal or pneumococcal disease.
The doctor will check for crossed eyes and any vision and hearing problems, and also check the teeth for tooth decay, abnormal tooth development, malocclusion (abnormal bite), dental injuries, or other problems. In addition to the doctor's dental evaluation, your child should be making regular visits to the dentist.
During this exam, the doctor will also check behavioral and social development, asking questions to see if your child's everyday behavior is age appropriate, how well your child operates in social situations, and how well he or she can communicate and understand directions.
Developmental milestones for 4-year-olds include being able to:
Developmental milestones for 5-year-olds include being able to:
Your child's doctor will also check physical milestones: Can your 4-year-old hop or jump on one foot? Has your 5-year-old mastered skipping?
Child safety is another topic of concern. Your doctor will cover the importance of using age-appropriate car seats, closely supervising kids around swimming pools, using bicycle helmets and other protective gear, not smoking around kids, using sunscreen, and protecting children against exposed wires, outlets, and heat sources. In homes with firearms, guns and ammunition should be stored separately and kept locked at all times.
Parents often can tell by their child's appearance if they are ill, but certain symptoms warrant a call to your doctor. Though they may represent a minor illness such as a cold or ear infection, some symptoms can also signal a more serious infection or a chronic condition, such as asthma.
Significant symptoms include:
Problems often found in this age group include enuresis (bedwetting) and sleep disturbances, such as nightmares. Kids might also experience growing pains in their calves at night.
Your doctor's office can answer questions about these and other common concerns and can be a helpful resource and support.

Reunite Arjun and Purvi - ArVi
We Arjun and ArVi fans are tired of playing the
waiting game and seeing all that brilliant Arjun-Purvi chemistry go to
waste. We want to see ArVi together, not putting in separate appearances
and cameos.
ArVi magic cannot be matched - whether it's their emotional scenes, their romance or their conversations.
No marriage based on compromise/ misunderstanding/ mistrust will keep them happy or content. It will keep them miserable, whether they admit it to anyone else or not. And when they are not happy in these marriages, their respective spouses will not be happy either. Also, NO marriage started off with BLACKMAIL should be lauded and promoted.
Purvi is also carrying Arjun's baby... that is PAVITRA! Is the name of the show NOT Pavitra Rishta?! What can be more sacred than the relationship between a child and his parents. That child is Arjun's child - he has a right to his child, to bond, to love, to protect and to bless with a father's love.
Arjun NEEDS to come out of the stupour he has been in thus far. HE needs to now fight for himself, for his child and for his love, Purvi. He NEEDS to battle and win against the evil of Ovi, the persistence of Onir and even the principles of Purvi herself in order for him to win his rights to his child AND his lady love Purvi. We NEED to see Arjun wake up or resuscitate into Arjun "Khadoos" Kirloskar again. The angry, young man with a voice and an opinion is who won the hearts of many AND brought in TRPs.
Do not waste the acting brilliance of Rithvik and
Asha with continuously poor tracks. Our patience is running thin since
past 5 months and yet we watch for ArVi, to see Arjun discover his child by Purvi and to see them reunited in the
So please Zee and CVs, quit playing games and instead of just giving us flashbacks, give us ArVi in real time. We want to see ArVi getting back on track, reunited, married to each other and parents!!!

Nor are we talking about Superman specifically, but the all-powerful, black/white trope that he represents. The wish fulfillment character is always ripe for exploration because it is quite limited and two dimensional, it's not attacking Superman so much as asking 'what if' and in the last four or five years there has been a reaction to the whiter than white hero figure.
January 21st, 2012, 09:18 AM #48
But in the same way that we don't expect all policemen to just go corrupt after X number of years in a tough precinct, I would expect Superman to occasionally get tired and even frustrated of his lot, but not to just give it up and take over. His sense of responsibility demands he fight the good fight as long as he is able... ours is not to question why, and all that. Among other things, that farm boy's life gave him pretty bulletproof morals that should preclude his taking anarchist actions.
That's why I thought Kingdom Come was a better foretelling of Superman's actions in such a situation: Faced with a world that didn't accept his morals, he was more likely to retire than take over; and faced with a crisis caused by the other heroes, he was more likely to try to reinforce his original sense of morals on others than to declare himself ruler over all.
Anyway, just my take on the Big Spitcurl.

Batman is a shoe in. He's had great authors, like Steven Engleheart, Len Wein, Frank Miller, Grant Morrison etc. and great artists (Neal Adams, Jim Lee) working on him. His character is phenomenal and much more down to earth (at least these days) when compared to most superheroes. Every author has a Batman story to tell.
But let's skip the obvious, everyone knows Batman. Some overlooked truly great characters like the Swamp Thing easily compare to most Batman comics. From it's original horror/occult roots with Len Wein's excellent prose to the 80's when Alan Moore started something new in comics when he took the reins of the Swamp Thing, he's been one of the most multi-faceted characters in the biz. Easily some of the most artistic story telling and top notch art, especially from Totleben. You really grow with the the Swamp Thing. sorry for the pun
Neil Gaiman's Sandman is another great character, though not really a super hero like the original from the 30's and 40's was. He's actually a god. And because of that you get all kinds of interesting tales both modern and historical. Other than Moore, Gaiman is the best comic author around.
And lastly, good ol' Captain America. He's always been interesting, but for an excellent read, check out Ed Brubaker's extensive catalog. Making the Cap seem more down to earth and mixing in a lot of spy intrigue and mystery worked wonders.
Also Wolverine is awesome, another Len Wein creation, but no need to toot his horn, you all know him. Miller's mini-series with Claremont in the early 80's was fantastic, and really started to introduce the real "Logan". Plus he's Canadian!

As a kid when I read comics, I always connected with Spiderman more then Superman. I liked both, but Spiderman seemed more real with real life problems.
And Superman was just too powerful so it was tough to find powerful enough super villains to really challenge him.
I quite enjoyed the Batman Beyond TV series. A great new take on Batman with a young protege taking on the Batman role in an armoured suit that now flies with an aging Bruce Wayne mentoring him.

It's a tie for me between Captain America & Batman. Cap: He embodies honor along with bravery and represents the best of what a good soldier should be. Batman: He freakin' Batman, for crying out loud! He has no super powers, yet he uses his ingenuity and his image to the ultimate advantage.

Thread: Forgotten Classic Sci-Fi

Forgotten Classic Sci-Fi
Hello gang. I recently came across an old thread in the fantasy forum where members discussed good fantasy books that have undeservedly been forgotten. So I thought it might be useful if we did a similar sort of thing here. I know a lot of people on these forums are very widely read and have been reading the genre for 40 odd years.
So, with this in mind, has anyone got any recommendations? For me, personally, I enjoy contemporary science fiction but I'm also interested in older works. I've read quite a few of the Sci-Fi Masterworks, and have been reading various older stories on my kindle. So if there are good neglected works by well known authors or authors who have simply been forgotten, then let me know
By the way, I'm not imposing any strict criteria on what counts as 'classic'. I'm specifically thinking of works from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, just because I feel that publications from these times may have been forgotten. Basically, all I'm after is some good old sci-fi that deserves to be passed on to present fans

The Long Tomorrow by Leigh Brackett
I just reread that because it was mentioned in a list on io9 of things people claimed to have read.
I didn't remember the title, author or cover. But I had read it way back when. I even found the cover that I had seen back then.
I think it should be better known than A Canticle for Leibowitz.

I think Logan's Run, as a novel, fits into this category.
Yeah, we had the film and the TV show decades ago, and a recent comic series based on... something (movie?), but the book itself is a pain in the butt to find at any sort of reasonable price. You'd have thought that a book like Logan's Run would still be in print.
November 11th, 2012, 07:18 PM #4
I hope no-one is sick of me recommending this book ~
Wasp, by Eric Frank Russell. A brilliant, darkly comic novel set in a future war against an alien race, this book is just ripe with allusions to the paranoia and conformity of life during wartime. It's a scandal that no-one in Hollywood has thought of filming this in the last few years - it would have been a perfect response to "The War On Terror". Despite being from the 50s, it could have been written for our times.

There's a lot of old sf that's eminently avoidable, even ones by the really big name authors. But there are a plenty of gems. Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination is one. Also Rogue Moon by Algis Budrys. The Undercover Aliens by AE van vogt is one of my favourites, though I suspect not everyone will see its appeal. Some early Aldiss is worth a go - I especially like Equator. Brackett has been mentioned, and her planetary romances are definitely worth a go. CL Moore is also good. James Tiptree Jr wrote some excellent short fiction. From the 1970s, my favourite authors include DG Compton, Keith Roberts, Michael Coney and Richard Cowper. Joanna Russ' The Female Man is a definite classic. Marta Randall's Islands is quite good, and I liked Sally Miller Gearhart's The Wanderground. There's Le Guin, of course, though I suspect she doesn't need mentioning. Forgotten authors such as Mark Adlard, Barrington Bayley, Leonard Daventry, Edmund Cooper, DF Jones, Christopher Hodder-Williams, Rex Gordon and Arthur Sellings wrote some good novels. As did Doris Piserchia, Phyllis Gottlieb, Judith Moffett, Jo Clayton and Suzette Haden Elgin.

Thank you all for your replies so far. There are some really good suggestions here and I have already added a few to my to-read list. As ian_sales suggested, there is a great deal of older sf that is "eminently avoidable", so it is good to have some guidance to steer me towards the good stuff

Mockingbird by Walter Tevis -- I'm ALWAYS recommending this book to people, but even a lot of SF fans haven't read it (despite it being re-published --finally--in the SF Masterworks series). It's a beautiful novel and Tevis's style is lovely: so unadorned and graceful.

Wasp is due for a rerelease in the SF Masterworks in May 2013.
The one I'm trying to save up for are the new Library of America SF from the 1950's.
Some interesting choices. The nine novels included are:
*Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth, The Space Merchants
*Theodore Sturgeon, More Than Human
*Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow
*Richard Matheson, The Shrinking Man
*Robert A. Heinlein, Double Star
*Alfred Bester, The Stars My Destination
*James Blish, A Case of Conscience
*Algis Budrys, Who?
*Fritz Leiber, The Big Time
Not all first rank: Heinlein's done better (and worse!) but it's not a bad selection at all.Mark

A Voyage for Arcturus by David Lindsay, published in 1920.
I am to propose a new title for my University's publishing house to produce. I was considering a new edition of David Lindsay's seminal scifi novel, 'A Voyage to Arcturus' (a forgotten classic!) I'm conducting some research to inform future decisions. If you could fill in this survey, it would be greatly appreciated. The survey is anonymous and solely for academic purposes. Thank you very much!
p.s. you don't have to have read the book to complete the survey
November 15th, 2012, 06:04 AM #11
A Voyage to Arcturus was published in the Fantasy Masterworks series several years ago, so it's not that forgotten a book.
November 15th, 2012, 09:48 AM #12
Why read science fiction? What does it have to say?
*Frederik Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth, The Space Merchants
*Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow
I consider The Space Merchants to be the most socially prophetic SF ever done. Look at the American economy today. What will going passed peak oil do along with global warming.
Leigh Brackett never explained why the war happened but there were only 3 billion people on the planet back then and no peak oil. So The Long Tomorrow could be prophetic and there are thousands of more nukes now with more precise delivery systems.

Garlic Noodles
Garlic Noodles
Garlic noodles – garlicky and buttery noodles with Parmesan cheese. SO easy and delicious you won't stop eating!!
Originally published on Feb 18, 2012. Updated with new pictures.
About four years ago, I shared my take on the Vietnamese-style garlic noodles made famous by the An family of Crustacean restaurant. Garlic noodles remain my favorite noodles all these years, and the recipe is the ones that I have always tried to perfect each time I make the noodles. That's the fun of cooking—our cooking skills and techniques progress and improve over time, and a good recipe could become an excellent recipe with time if we continue to fine-tune it.
My favorite homemade version is the ones made with yellow noodles, or marketed as "Taiwanese noodles" or "油面" in the United States. The noodles are, well, yellow as the name suggests, and they are very oily as each strand of the noodle is generously coated with oil. Yellow noodles are also commonly found in Malaysia and Singapore as they are used in many hawker food dishes.
After many attempts, I now have a garlic noodles recipe that involves a two-part cooking process. First, making the garlic sauce, and secondly, mixing the blanched noodles with the garlic sauce. I absolutely love this method as I can always make a batch of the garlic sauce and toss the noodles right before serving. This ensures that garlic noodles always taste fresh and delectable, and not soggy or cold. Also, if you are like me, who prefer a heavier and more garlicky taste, you can add some extra garlic sauce to taste.
You can eat the garlic noodles plain or serve it with my roasted crab recipe. One of these days, I will have to share my grilled prawn recipe to go with these sinfully luscious and delicious garlic noodles!

It's like the Chinese version of Spaghetti Aglio Olio! Fantastic!
*Vietnamese version
what is "maggie sauce"?
What is Maggie sauce?
Check the Asian section of your supermarket. It's right there with the fish sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. It's Maggi seasoning. It's dark brown and comes in a bottle.
Thanks for your recipe, it seems simple to prepare. Will try this out. ヾ(@⌒ー⌒@)ノ
I lived in Malaysia for 14 years and these are my favorite kind of noodles. If you add in small pieces of fried lard and fried pork balls, eat with some hot sambal chili, it is truly heaven.
My hubby ate an Italian version nearly everyday and was addicted for 5 years! This looks yummy, Bee.
How long do you cook the noodles???
I've only just seen this recipe. 'Al dente' is Italian for "to the tooth" which means cooked until the noodles are still a little firm when you bite into a piece. The recipe sounds delicious. I keep a variety of noodles and Asian/Malaysian sauces in my pantry and use my imagination. Be adventurous and experiment!
Yum-yum-yum! And please do post that grilled prawn
recipe very soon. I can't wait to try them both together!
A question about the noodles themselves. Do we look for these in the refrigerated case? Also, are you using the French Frentel butter and would it make a significant difference?
I never cook with MSG. Maggi sauce has MSG in it. I always try to find a substitute for MSG. MSG is a major cause of weight gain in Filipinos. I know it makes the food taste good, but the health concerns of MSG far outweigh the boost in taste. I use combinations of salt, in moderation, ginger, garlic, cumin, pepper, and turmeric in place of MSG. Soy sauce has natural MSG in it, but most soy sauce manufactures add additional MSG. I always read the label. Just a suggestion, but it would great if you could suggest healthier alternatives to Maggi sauce.
John, I wasn't aware that MSG is a cause of weight gain, but other unpleasant side effects (dizziness, dry mouth, difficulty breathing) are well-documented. Unfortunately, MSG is frequently used as a cheap shortcut to flavour (it's a substitute for using great ingredients or putting in cooking time to extract the most from those ingredients), and as such, is common in most Asian restaurant/takeout dishes and processed foods. I was disappointed to not find a single chili sauce in the local Asian market that did not contain MSG in the ingredients list. I think your substitutions are a great alternative, thanks for the advice!
Try Brags Liquid Aminos. Its a msg free soy sauce and i think s delicious
Thanks for the garlic noodles recipe. It seems like you really improved your technique over the years.
Garlic and noodles are one of my fave combos. So delicious!!
Thank you for sharing this Bee!! I now foresee my future as the most popular guest at potlucks ;)
You had me at garlic! And this sounds and looks really delicious. Must be bursting with garlicky goodness :) You reckon I can substitute the noodles with spaghetti instead?
My husband made these noodles for dinner tonight as an accompaniment to ginger scallion beef. The noodles were wonderful! My local supermarket doesn't sell the noodles featured in the recipe, so we improvised with a similar type.
Yum! Garlic noodles are one of my favorite noodle dishes! I can't wait to try this recipe!
I love almost anything to do with garlic!!! Sounds amazing!
Just made this tonight! Awesome! I didn't have maggi sauce so I substituted with soy sauce and used hondashi (Japanese dashi powder) and water to substitute for the fish sauce. I garnished with chopped cilantro. I totally forgot the parmesan cheese so I'll have to add that next time. My fiance loved it so much he made me write down the recipe for him. This is a keeper!
two questions.
First how many people is this recipe for? and second how long approximately are the noodles supposed to cook?
Thank you
Pingback:Eleanor rasa | Thebeverages
a recipe after my own heart lots of garlic but my problem is that i am vegetarian. most asian recipes call fr fish or oyster sauce and so i have to skip them n then the dish does not taste all that good. can you suggest some alternate things that can be substituted fr these sauces or some other sauces or ingredients to spice up the noodles.
There are actually vegetarian oyster sauce in e market too. Tastes abit like oyster sauce but made wo e real thing.
I made this recipe and it came out just like the kind I've had in restaurants. Not sure why the noodle cooking time isn't posted in the recipe, it looks like there were several inquiries from the comments and there was no response. I cooked the noodles for approximately 2-3 minutes, I guess you just have to watch them because the cooking time was not on the package either.
I apologize if I am being rude, or generalizing, but noodles vary in cooking (not by much) and the cooking directions are on the back of each individual package. I use different kinds of noodles and the dish is always great. However, if there are no directions on the package of noodles that you have bought, cook them until they are "al dente." If you are not sure what "al dente" feels, looks or tastes like…google it. Googling is great for all questions. Oh by the way…my noodles were GREAT!!! I used organic garlic and pesto noodles and added tons of fresh pressed garlic.
Hi, this recipe sounds VERY delicious but I'm really having trouble finding the noodles. I live in Austin and we have a really large Asian supermarket but I cannot find these noodles anywhere.
Can you give me some more specific information on where I might find them in the store?
Also, what other noodle could I substitute for this? I found some Canton (thin) dry noodles that require cooking first, will that work???
Thank you so much for this recipe! My family loves it! Every time I make this is like a great treat for them.
Can't wait to try this recipe. What type of parmesan cheese would you recommend using? I found a similar recipe and they recommended using the cheap Kraft one in a container. Did you ever posted your recipe for the grilled prawns? Btw, love your site and books.
For those living in areas with few Asian stores, you might find Maggi sauce in the Mexican food section as "Maggi Jugo Sazonador". I made these noodles tonight and ate them with shrimp. They were delicious.
Could these be cooked and reheated later?
Great website, food is amazing..
Would you think I can use angel hair spaghetti instead? The type that I sold in all supermarkets, like Kroger, Giant, Safeway,… 20oz of dry angel hair spaghetti would come out a whole lot after cooking. How much of angel hair cooking would you think be equivalent to the 20oz yellow noodles. Thank you so very much
Hi bee, can I use hokien noodles? Dont know what yellow noodles mean?
Hi – do you have a particular brand or picture of the noodle brand that you use. Sorry I'm not very good with grocery shopping.
thank you
Hi – I am new with cooking and I wanted to try this recipe sounds really yummy. Can you recommend a brand or if you have a picture brand for the noodles that you use.
Thank you,
I was CRAVING noodles, but I didn't have yellow noodles, so I used soba noodles & it was DELICIOUS!!! I paired this with Bee's Hawaiian Shrimp Scampi recipe… It was the easiest, most DELICIOUS dinner in 25mins I have ever whipped up!!! THANK YOU so very much for perfecting both these recipes, Bee!!! xoxo
Made this tonight and was soooooo delicious!
What to you mean by yellow noodles? Egg noodles? Chow mien noodles? Or are they just advertised as 'yellow noodles'?
Ranch99 has so many noodles that are yellow in color.
I'm assuming fresh noodles, not dried.
Can you take a picture of the package/brand of the kind you buy?

I am so happy with my purchase!!! I looked for a chandelier for our dining room for two years, and have never seen anything like this! I wanted something that would satisfy my husband's modern style while giving me something a little glamorous and unexpected. I fell in love with this chandelier because the modern pendant shape is what you see in all the design books and modern furniture stores...but the crystals gave this a fabulous twist. After reading all the rave reviews, I had to see it for myself - so glad I did!!! Yes, it takes a little time to put on the crystals - but like everyone says, it's just a night or two in front of the TV. Very easy and so worth it!!! My husband installed it himself, it is very easy. Please note the chain has a caribiner clip that allows you to adjust the height before you hang it. My daughters and husband say it's the best thing I ever bought! Another note - it looks amazing with frosted bulbs! Clear bulbs are a little too much for me, more like a disco ball. I bought this with another chandelier that I am returning and I just wanted to say how thrilled I am with Overstock's customer service - they are so kind and make it so easy. You never see that anymore.
This is one of the most beautiful chandeliers I have ever seen, I stop and admire it every time I walk by the dining room. our house is craftsman style, with lots of straight angles, simple bold lines, and oil rubbed bronze....this chandelier works beautifully with the simple drum shape and oil rubbed bronze finish, but the sparkle and the crystals just add a really playful element that softens up all the heavy, straight elements of the house. It's a great chandelier if you're looking to combine the masculine (the heavy, simple drum shape), the feminine (the swarovski-like crystals), and a some whimsy (the drop crystals). Ours is hanging near dining room windows that get lots of sun, so the effect is fabulous all day. And we live on a corner and when I was walking the dog yesterday afternoon I noticed that when I looked into the window during the daytime the chandelier was sparking like crazy from the inside...and the sun wasn't even on it. Did not expect that. If you get this chandelier get clear candelabra bulbs, bc then with all the hundreds of little reflections on the crystals you won't even be able to see where the bulbs are, pretty great. Oh, and this is a chandelier that definitely calls for a DIMMER, you get a remarkable range of mood with these crystals and a dimmer....so grab a $7 dimmer from your hardware store and install that at the same time to get the full wow effect.
Absolutely stunning. If your looking for bling, this is it. Love it!!! Perfect for a romantic setting in bedroom and/or dining room. Please note, the shade is covered in glittery crystals which does cast shadow of round bubbles on the walls that surround the room. At night when the night is on, the room looks as if your under water surrounded by bubbles......really neat, calming and relaxing feel. Adds some texture to your painted walls. This is why I would recommend this fixture for a bedroom or dining room, rather than a hallway or foyer.
This looks just as wonderful in-person as on-line. My husband and I are thrilled with the results. We assembled it over a few movie nights, as it took a few hours to put together. Installation was easy. The large crystal in the middle was chipped, but thanks to them sending spare parts, we were easily able to fix it. The sparkle and shine are amazing - we certainly recommend it!
I ordered this chandelier because of the description and the spectacular reviews. I have to say i am disappointed because the light is described as "bronze" but the color is actually black and was too dark for my living room. I wish i had liked it, but everyone says it looks spectacular! too bad...
I put this light fixture in my dining room. The crystals below the fixture need to be attached by hand (20 minutes) - the crystals in the black orb were already attached. For the price - the glamour it adds to a room - it is a great buy. Not a huge fan of the chain and would prefer a more linear look with an inclusive wire. Item was smaller than expected so make sure to read measurements. Also - smelled strange when taken out of box - maybe the paint?
Hung this fixture over the tub in my newly remodeled bathroom. It is stunning!
This light is awesome and exactly as all the reviews I read about it. Casts a beautiful glow all over the walks
I would buy this again. Beautiful easy to install. Worth the money.
This is a STUNNING chandelier at a GREAT price!!! It took a bit of doing to get all the crystals on, but goodness, once it was up, it shimmers and glows and looks simply wonderful!! It's a fun juxtaposition of rustic and elegant .... a great shabby chic look! The crystals make prisms on the wall in the day and at night, lovely interplay of shadow and light. It's gorgeous!!! Highly recommend!!

Salina nixes $15K art for new bridge
Published on -10/8/2013, 12:29 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
SALINA, Kan. (AP) -- Salina city commissioners have rejected a request to spend more than $15,000 on artwork for a new bridge.
The commissioners turned down the request Monday from Community Art and Design and Salina Arts and Humanities for the new Greeley Avenue Bridge.
The Salina Journal reports (http://bit.ly/GJoHLN ) that Mayor Barb Shirley and three commissioners said they didn't feel the bridge warranted art. Commissioner Randall Hardy was in favor of the art.
The city estimates it will cost about $670,000 to replace the bridge, which was closed to vehicles in December after it was deemed unsafe.
The Kansas Department of Transportation declined to provide 2014 funding for the bridge.

Wow. That code used goto statements.
How crass.
Linus is awful.
He probably puts the braces on the wrong lines too. *sad panda*
How dare you insult the One True Coding Style :P
personally i happily use the opensource drivers for my intel and amd cards.
yes in the openmoko case it would have been about 1MB, judging by the debian packages size. ( https://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/task2-openmoko ). I wonder if they would accept NAND chip if the ability to wrote to it was removed for example by not connecting some pins to the circuit board. putting 1GB of NAND on a graphics card would not do much to the price.
Why do people get upset because of this? It supports the "Freeness" cause. Information needs to be free. The NVidia blob makes sure that everybody can be root and therefore gain access to all information.
This is truly "Free" as in "Libre" rather than "beer". What the hell do you people want?
At least to some degree.
Think of it like this;
The chip itself on the device is some kind of undocumented magic box. What difference does it make if the magic box is entirely physical hardware and no part programmed firmware? You still don't know what its doing.

Gallery: Baltyk Tower: MVRDV Unveils Pixelated Daylit High-Rise for Pol...
MVRDV's Baltyk Tower is slated to be completed in 2014 and the architects are shooting for a BREEAM Very Goodrating. The tower promises plentiful daylight for the office spaces by limiting their depth to seven meters. The glass curtain wall is protected from unwanted heat and glare by unique horizontal lovers made from glass fiber-embedded concrete slats. Suspended off the building, the louvers will filter light when the sun hits at an angle while reducing heat gain and glare — a bane for energy-efficient and comfortable working environments.
The distinctive carved exterior continues MVRDV's experimentation with stepped walls. The prominent building corner lurches over the street while the other side is stepped with generous patios on each floor — allowing occupants access to the world without having to leave.
The building maximizes the use of its site – stating with three levels of underground parking. Retail will be placed on the lower floors, and the upper floors will hold a panorama restaurant, lots of shallow floor plates for office spaces, and a "one room hotel" (lost in translation?) The contemporary design boldly offsets the layers of architecture in the city, which range from bright and ornate 19th century buildings to the grey anonymous concrete blocks erected during the Soviet era.

While leaving her London hotel on Wednesday, Lady Gaga sported an unconventional hat that took "sexy" to a whole new level.
Gaga, who was heading to ITV studios for Alan Carr's Chatty Man show, wore a flourescent pink hat that bore a striking resemblence to male seminal fluid.
While the singer is known for pushing the limits and creating her own unique brand of sexy, this may have been a bit too literal.

Local Food
Are You a Locavore?
Summer is a-comin' in, and all men's hearts turn to – tomatoes! And cucumbers! And corn, and beans, and squash! And blueberries! Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries!
Gardening (along with birdwatching and genealogy) is among the top three hobbies in the United States. All three activities can be pursued close to home, which is a boon in the current economy. In fact, we read numerous reports that more people are growing at least some of their vegetables and fruits in order to reduce their grocery bills.
The health value of growing your own pesticide- and contaminant-free food is not insignificant, either, considering the lettuce-tomato-spinach scares of recent summers.
The benefits of growing and producing food are so great that Barbara Kingsolver and her family decided to try to provide for themselves everything they ate for an entire year, or procure from local sources what they couldn't produce. This experiment in local food resulted in "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life", written by Kingsolver, her husband Steven Hopp and daughter Camille Kingsolver.
Kingsolver, acclaimed novelist and essayist, grew up in rural Kentucky, lived in Tucson for some years, then met her second husband, an environmentalist and ornithologist, when she was invited to speak at Emory & Henry, and eventually settled on his farm at Meadowview. Daughter Camille is studying nutrition at Duke University. Hopp contributes sidebars on food policy, and Camille offers the perspective of a thoughtful younger generation on homegrown and home prepared food, including recipes. We have tried several—all are quite good. The pizza is delicious and only takes two hours, start to finish (less if family help out).
Each chapter is an essay on the season of growing, harvesting, preserving, and waiting, and describes their personal experiences, often hilarious, and ruminations on farming, national food policy, and the satisfactions of rural living.
A delightful chapter is given to youngest daughter Lily, who, at the age of eight, is a serious entrepreneur, planning, selecting, ordering, receiving, and managing a flock of chickens and selling their eggs. We predict she will write her own book before long.
The family times a vacation in early June, after planting and before the big harvest begins, to visit friends and family engaged in farming through New England, eastern Canada, and the Midwest, and we learn about various approaches to food production. Barbara learns how to make cheese from an expert in Massachusetts and describes the process so well that we feel capable of making it, too. And inspired to try, even if only once.
August is all about the tomatoes. Roasted, frozen, dried, canned, the kitchen is obliterated by hundreds of tomatoes. When Lily was too young to help, she sat at the kitchen table and wrote and illustrated a small book "Mama the Tomato Queen", which "fully exhausted the red spectrum of her Crayola box". (We know she will write a book about the chickens.)
It is interesting to learn about human biology. Did you know that the human body is not meant to consume milk beyond the age of 4, although certain branches of the family of man (northern Europeans) have adapted to it from many centuries of association with domesticated animals?
And it is interesting to contemplate the assertion that "cooking is good citizenship". Getting locally raised food into your diet keeps farmlands healthy and dollars in the local economy, teaches children civility and practical skills, and builds family. Kingsolver writes about the challenges of making time for family when legitimate competing interests crowd in. Her sit-up-and-take-notice conclusion : "But if grabbing fast food is the only way to get the kids to their healthy fresh-air soccer practice on time, that's an interesting call. Arterial-plaque specials that save minutes now can cost years, later on."
"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" includes a list of resources for locating more information about local food, including how to find it in your neighborhood, and makes the point that asking for it, repeatedly, is one way to get it eventually. This is a worthwhile read for anyone who cares about health, the economy, or where food comes from.
If you cannot raise your own food, there are more and more resources in our area to explore.
The Tazewell Farmers' Market operates each Saturday through October, 8 am to noon, at the Farm Bureau parking lot at Four Way. Each year, the number of vendors increases, and the offerings are varied and excellent. The Bluefield market is open 9-1 on Fridays through October in the gravel lot across from New Graham Pharmacy, and the Richlands market is open Monday through Saturday from daylight to dark on Allegheny Street beside the police department. For other farmers' markets, visit the Virginia Department of Agriculture at www.virginiagrown.com. At these markets, you can find good food, support local growers, and make connections with them, learning in the process how their food is raised and how to prepare it.
Grocery chains are beginning to offer local products. Among them is Food City, which carries local foods under the label "Appalachian Harvest".
Look for local businesses that offer local products. Hopp and Kingsolver demonstrate the appeal of local food at Meadowview Farmers' Guild and Harvest Table Restaurant, where they serve a seasonal menu of local meats, produce, hand made cheese, sodas, wines and beers from the region. Our Tazewell book discussion group enjoyed a recent Saturday excursion to Meadowview and had a delicious lunch.
Appalachian Sustainable Development publishes a Local Food Directory for Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee listing farmers' markets, local farms selling to the consumer, growers' organizations, restaurants and stores carrying local food. Copies are available at the Library and online at www.asdevelop.org.
Fascination with slow food (as opposed to fast food) is growing nationwide. So much is being written about it that the New Oxford American Dictionary's Word of the Year in 2007 was "locavore". A locavore is a person who eats only food grown or produced within a 100-mile radius of home. The shorter the journey from farm to table, the better for your health and the environment. Explore local foods, read "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" and other books on the subject available at the Library, and experience the pleasures to be found in food from home. See you at the market!

Struggling to lose weight? Most people will tell you that they weigh more than they think is ideal and are trying to shed pounds. The problem is gaining weight is a lot easier than losing weight. A few kilos gained over Thanksgiving can take months to get rid of; in fact, if you are not careful, they could just sit there forever. So how do you really lose weight? Here are some tips:
- The first thing you must do is understand that losing weight is not an overnight affair unless you are prepared to starve yourself which is definitely not recommended. Be patient and don't push yourself so much.
- Exercise, as any expert will tell you, is a critical part of any weight loss regimen. It helps burn up extra calories in the body that are stored as fat. The more calories you consume, the more time you must invest in exercise. It helps if you choose an activity that you enjoy. If the gym is not your kind of thing, don't force yourself to go there. If you prefer to hike in the woods on the weekends or walk everyday you should focus on these. As you do them, you enjoy yourself and are less likely to notice that you are tired.
- The other thing you must look at is what you eat. How much protein, carbohydrates and fats do you consume? Even more critical, how much sugar? Research has shown that completely eliminating sugar is a great aid to weight loss. Remember, dieting by starving yourself and denying yourself the things that you love to eat never works; the body forces you to eventually succumb and eat these things and when you do, you will binge. Instead, focus on eating healthier meals with small portions of what you like. If you can read French, I recommend that you visit this blog: http://www.commentavoirunventreplat.net/
- Weight loss supplements like garcinia cambogia have been known to work. This particular one works by reducing fat absorption in the gut and also by reducing the need to eat so that you feel hungry a lot less on any given day. If you buy the 100% version of this natural extract has helped people lose a lot of weight in just 3 months. In addition to that, if you choose the right brand, you will not suffer any side effects, or only minor side effects. If you choose to go with other brands of weight loss supplements, be careful; many of them are not tested and you may be putting yourself at risk.
