In free market, here how it works:
1) Buyers vote by their dollars.
2) Buyers buy a product and expect it to work.
3) The selling company keep supporting their product, so their clients keeps buying their future products.
4) No support by the seller, no confidence by the buyer, buyers move on to another product, another platform.
As simple as that.
That's fine and well, but your target wasn't AMD. It was r300g, which has had about zero-input from AMD directly.
Of the 1355 total commits, Corbin and Marek account for a full 79.1% of them (and a much larger percentage in terms of actual work done). AMD's Alex Deucher and Cooper Yuan have 14, or 1%.Code:/home/mattst88/projects/mesa/src/gallium/drivers $ git log --no-merges r300/ | grep ^Author | sort | uniq -c 1 Author: Alex Deucher <email@example.com> 7 Author: Brian Paul <email@example.com> 4 Author: Chia-I Wu <firstname.lastname@example.com> 1 Author: Coleman Kane <Coleman Kane> 13 Author: Cooper Yuan <email@example.com> 544 Author: Corbin Simpson <firstname.lastname@example.com> 1 Author: Dave Airlie <email@example.com> 50 Author: Dave Airlie <email@example.com> 5 Author: Jakob Bornecrantz <firstname.lastname@example.com> 1 Author: Jeff Smith <firstname.lastname@example.com> 5 Author: Joakim Sindholt <email@example.com> 15 Author: Joakim Sindholt <firstname.lastname@example.com> 16 Author: José Fonseca <firstname.lastname@example.com> 22 Author: Keith Whitwell <email@example.com> 5 Author: Luca Barbieri <email@example.com> 1 Author: Łukasz Krotowski <email@example.com> 2 Author: Maciej Cencora <maciej@osiris.(none)> 11 Author: Maciej Cencora <firstname.lastname@example.com> 528 Author: Marek Olák <firstname.lastname@example.com> 1 Author: Mathias Fröhlich <firstname.lastname@example.com> 1 Author: Mathias Fröhlich <email@example.com> 2 Author: Mathias Fröhlich <email@example.com> 3 Author: Mathias Gottschlag <firstname.lastname@example.com> 1 Author: Matt Turner <email@example.com> 15 Author: Michal Krol <email@example.com> 1 Author: michal <michal@transistor.(none)> 8 Author: Michel Dänzer <email@example.com> 16 Author: Nicolai Hähnle <email@example.com> 3 Author: nobled <email@example.com> 20 Author: Roland Scheidegger <email@example.com> 1 Author: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom-at-vmware-dot-com> 10 Author: Tom Stellard <email@example.com> 38 Author: Vinson Lee <email@example.com> 3 Author: Zack Rusin <firstname.lastname@example.com>
You're confusing your frustration with r300g and AMD.
Say what you will about AMD, but Alex's post really describes the situation very well.
If you want to complain that AMD's not doing enough to support r300g, fine; but complaining about r300g as if its developers owe you something: not good.
Yep, my frustration and anger should be directed to AMD. Nothing but praises for those who contributed to r300g.
AMD is frankly keeping the "secret sauce" for itself. At least let AMD help in the optimization aspects and release a way to use GPU HW for video decode via OpenCL.
OK, now I'm confused too. You're talking about 300g, which supports only the older GPUs that don't have OpenCL-capable hardware or video decode hardware (other than a legacy MPEG-2 IDCT block).
Sure, but that's not what you said. First you were attacking the 300G project and developers, then you were saying that :
- we were holding back "secret sauce" that would presumably let 3D run faster
- we should be implementing an OpenCL-based video decode solution for that hardware
The "secret sauce" is hundreds of millions of dollars spent on driver development, and 10-15 million lines of code. We can't really distill that down into something that can practically be used in the open source drivers, although we do keep looking for "best practices" which *can* be carried over to the open drivers.
It's like when people ask about the secret to English lawns ("seed and roll for 400 years"). Everyone knows how to do it, but it's hard, slow, expensive work.
I really wonder why GLSL shaders work faster than the fixed function ARB.. I'm really curious about this weird issue..

As for dtrace - that's seriously your argument? How about, Sun poured in a bunch more resources and manpower than btrfs has had? That's a much better argument.
Last edited by ryao; 01-18-2013 at 01:31 AM.
As for dtrace - that's seriously your argument? How about, Sun poured in a bunch more resources and manpower than btrfs has had? That's a much better argument.
On the topic of general Btrfs, I'm very happy for the fact that I'll be building what amounts to a NAS server, which means that it will be able to use Btrfs internally and connect to clients via NFS. Right now for my storage needs I need to use NTFS, as for the occasional times that I am forced to use Windows (mostly game-rated things), it reads nothing else but NTFS, FATs and UDF. Also with an addon it can read specifically-formatted EXT3. But it does have NFS share support - thus I'll effectively get to use Btrfs from Windows. Fun times!
Also, I just ran btrfsck today to check if everything is still going smoothly on my openSUSE installation. And it is, no errors. I did see some errors in the past, but those related to bad RAM and false positives.
And speaking of openSUSE and Btrfs, I find it too bad that Snapper is not yet ported to some of the other distros. For one, it's not in Portage. And I'll need it for my NAS server, running Gentoo. I don't suppose there will be any issues manually compiling it, though. And perhaps I could look at how adding things to Portage works, while I'm at it.
Its worth having a look at some of the data corruption reports on the mailing list, eg
* User decides to try out BTRFS, finds that files get corrupted
* Devs suggest some test cases to narrow down issue.
* User finds that tests case give corruption on ext4 as well
* Turns out to be hardware problem
Moral: there are hardware issues that you may not notice for a long time with ext4. btrfs will spot them straight away as i checksums all your data.
So you say, if only we had a distro made by the same untrustworthy people that develop btrfs, then btrfs could be the default filesystem for that untrustworthy distro. It's magic! The untrustworthy btrfs combined with an untrustworthy distro somehow makes btrfs trustworthy? Two untrustworthies make trustworthy?
With logic like that, you should be a politician.
The fact that ZFS is used as default in a widely-trusted OS does mean ZFS is trustworthy.
The fact that btrfs is not used as default in any widely-trusted OS means that btrfs is not trustworthy.
This is not rocket science. But feel free to keep grasping at straws and posting nonsense.
Last edited by jwilliams; 01-18-2013 at 11:41 AM.
The truth is that no filesystem is magically 100% trusted or untrusted.
If Fedora moved the default btrfs tomorrow, would you say it was completely untrusted today and completely trusted tomorrow? Of course not.
The truth is that it's 99.9% trusted right now, and developers are just waiting a while until it gets 99.99% trusted before they deploy it more widespread.
Perhaps Sun had a different trust cutoff that they required. Or perhaps the FS it was replacing at the time just wasn't as trusted as EXT4 is by current linux distros (since the replacement doesn't need to be 100% trustworthy, just equivalent to whatever it is replacing), which is probably more likely. Or perhaps btrfs isn't as solid as ZFS was - the point is that you can't take a simple statement like you are and try to spin it into proof of something that it's not. Real life is messy, not black and white.

The usual conundrum of no dev being able to draw (and thus owning a tablet) and no artist being able to code.
FWIW, it seems it's not much more rosy on the gtk side, with tablets being broken in gimp 2.8 with gtk2 I hear.
Phoronix: Wacom Tablet Support Might Be Axed From Qt 5
While Wacom tablets command most of the graphics tablet market-share, within the open-source Qt world it seems not many people actually care about these input devices. Wacom support -- after being pressed by many long-standing open bugs -- is being talked about for removal from Qt 5.0...
The usual conundrum of no dev being able to draw (and thus owning a tablet) and no artist being able to code.
FWIW, it seems it's not much more rosy on the gtk side, with tablets being broken in gimp 2.8 with gtk2 I hear.
I just don't really understand how it breaks so easy. How do they not realize by now the things that would cause breakage after every release? To me, that's like cooking on the stove and you somehow keep forgetting to not put your hand on the surface, so you just decide to use the microwave instead.
Anyways, considering that not many people have these tablets and even less of these people use linux, I'm surprised there was ever support for them to begin with. TBH, I'm not really sure what programs even take advantage of their advanced features. While I'm not saying that support should be removed, I don't see who really needs it ATM. I feel like if the Adobe suite were to be ported to linux, then these drivers should get more attention.
Allthough I have to add that removing wacom support from Qt does not mean there is no wacom support at all in Linux. You can still use Xinput directly to access these devices. It's not as comfortable as having native (& cross-plattform compatible) support from your toolkkit, but it works.
I have no problem with anyone feeling the need to keep these drivers fully up-to-date with all features that Windows offers, but I don't blame anyone for not wanting to do it when there's almost nobody using them for their intended purposes.
MyPaint uses it.
QT and GNOME think they are major players similar to Microsoft. All they will do is drive people away.
I use a Wacom tablet.
Back in the 90's free software complained how Microsoft was buggy and crashed basically all the time.
It's 2012, why is Xwindows/Kde/Gnome crashing all the time.
"Neopunk crashed unexpectedly"
"Some application quit unexpectedly, send bug report?"
I keep looking for the message, "Mistakes were made." ala Call of Duty - Black Op's.
Idiots. Why talk about destroying something already 99% of the work is done.
I use a Wacom Bamboo to draw and sketch for design concepts, and it works perfectly with MyPaint.

(BPT) - Your job search has finally paid off. After all the networking events, resume re-dos and mock and real interviews, you finally got an offer for the job you wanted. So now what? Do you just take it or do you dare negotiate?
"You should always negotiate a higher salary," say Vanessa Jackson, assistant director of career services at The Illinois Institute of Art — Chicago. Jackson adds, "Hiring managers expect this so they do not offer the highest salary in their range."
Be polite. "Say 'Thank you very much for this opportunity. I am so excited to join your company.' Then move into the negotiation," adds Shannon Delecki, assistant director of career services at The Art Institute of Michigan.
But before you ever get that offer, make sure you've done your research caution Jackson and Delecki. "Know the average salaries for the position and for the market," says Delecki.
And this isn't a time to be modest about your potential value to the company. "Tell the company why you are worth more than you are being offered. Show them how you will contribute to the company's profits and help their bottom line," advises Delecki.
How much should you ask for? Jackson recommends anywhere from $3,000 - $5,000 above the company's offer. After thanking your future employer, you should say something like: "but I'm hoping to negotiate a salary closer to $XX."
There are times that companies may not be able to budge on the dollar amount. This could be an opportunity to negotiate other benefits like vacation time. "Ask the company whether they can be more flexible about vacation or PTO days," says Delecki.
And those extra benefits don't end there. Companies sometimes pick up the tab for day care, can offer flex time and even allow employees to work from home on certain days to defray commuting costs. "I've known people who negotiated immediate vesting in the company's 401(k)," observes Jackson. She also stresses that the higher you are on the food chain the more perks you'll likely be able to negotiate. If you've just scored your first job, your new employer may not accommodate as many requests.
And speaking of requests, make sure yours don't sound like demands. If they do, you could negotiate your way right out of a job. The negotiation is a balancing act. You want a higher salary but you have to remember that you're looking to work with the person on the other end of the negotiation. So be gracious. "That's why it's important to say 'thank you' and 'I was looking for a salary closer to,'" says Jackson.
Finally, make sure you can live with and on your salary. Jackson counsels job seekers, "Know what you need to make to sustain your lifestyle."

Smoking, or exposure to tobacco in any form, is the major risk factor for both small cell and non-small cell lung cancer. Nonsmokers who breathe the smoke of others, often called secondhand smoke, are also at increased risk for these types of lung cancer.
If you do smoke, you can reduce your risk for lung cancer — and the risk for those around you — by stopping now. If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer or are undergoing chemotherapy, research also suggests that quitting smoking can improve the effectiveness of your treatment. Memorial Sloan Kettering offers a tobacco treatment program to help you to quit.
In some people, there is no identifiable cause of lung cancer. In fact, while smoking is the most significant risk factor, up to 20 percent of people with non-small cell lung cancer have never smoked.
Other risk factors include exposure to asbestos or radon, which causes damage to the lungs that can lead to cancer.
Doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering have developed a lung cancer risk assessment tool that can be used to calculate an individual's risk of developing lung cancer. This online questionnaire considers factors such as your age, gender, smoking history, and exposure to asbestos, and can be used to predict the likelihood of your developing lung cancer in the next ten years.
Knowing about your level of lung cancer risk can help you and your doctor make decisions about your healthcare, including whether to get screened for lung cancer.
In November 2010 the National Cancer Institute released results of the National Lung Screening Trial, which showed that screening with low-dose CT (computed tomography) scans reduced the risk of death from lung cancer for individuals at high risk of getting the disease.
The results of this study do not mean that low-dose CT scans are for everyone. Test results can come back positive when there is no cancer present (called a false positive), leading to anxiety, unnecessary treatment, and possible complications.
Memorial Sloan Kettering recommends screening for lung cancer if you are between the ages of 55 and 74 and you have smoked the equivalent of at least one pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years, or 30 or more pack years. A pack year is a term used to describe the number of cigarettes a person has smoked over his or her lifetime. One pack year is defined as 20 cigarettes (one pack) smoked per day for one year.
Lung cancer screening is not a substitute for smoking cessation. Anyone considering screening who is still smoking should receive smoking cessation counseling.
For more detailed information about screening, see our screening guidelines for lung cancer.

Paying Debts
1. Paying Debts
The black-fletched arrow flew straight and deadly and true; the warg was dead before it even hit the ground, its skull shattered- tiny brain disintegrated in a fountain of foul black blood.
Glóin son of Gróin-who had at that moment been lying helpless beneath the monster's paws- was (to put it bluntly) not entirely amused. Pushing the loathsome beast from off of his prone form and hauling himself to his feet, he stared daggers at his saviour from under the visor of his helmet.
"I s'pose you think that was funny," he rumbled, wiping a spray of vile ichor from his long beard, "I had the stupid beast just where I wanted it."
The Elven marksman merely smiled and shrugged in response.
"Perhaps you should have preferred it had I deliberately fired over the beast's head, master Dwarf?"
Glóin bristled at the joke.
"Were we not surrounded by more worthy foes, I should be happy to teach you a lesson you should never forget, master Elf!"
His saviour raised one sardonic eyebrow and executed a florid bow in response.
"Perhaps one day you can return the favour, master Dwarf- or perhaps your son can, should the task prove too trying for you."
With that, the Elf was gone, springing away to another foe, his blades flashing brilliant death.
Glóin blustered a moment longer, but then another warg was upon him, and the moment was forgotten.
That is not, however, to say it was forgiven...
The axe flew straight and deadly and true, tumbling end over end through the air; the Easterling warrior was dead before he even hit the ground, skull shattered in a splattery fountain of sticky grey brains and bright red blood.
Legolas son of Thranduil- who had at that very moment been lying helpless at the swordman's feet- was (to put it bluntly) not entirely amused. Pushing the dead man off his prone form and springing to his feet, he raised one perfect eyebrow at his saviour, wiping a stray gobbet of gore from his long blonde hair.
"I suppose you think I should thank you for that?"
Gimli grinned savagely as he yanked the axe from the dead swordsman's skull.
"Nay, laddie. Consider it as nothing more than a... as nothing more than a very old favour repaid."
Elf and Dwarf smiled at each other, and there- there and then on the field of the Pelennor (though neither would admit it, even many years later, even when their every action had passed into myth and legend)- something passed unspoken between them.
Gimli was, of course, first to break the silence.
"And of course, it puts me into the lead! Forty-five, Elf!"
With that the Dwarf was gone, springing away to another foe with a savage battle-cry, his axe a whirling crescent of razor-sharp murder bringing death to each and every foe in his path.
Legolas allowed himself a small smile, but then another screaming Easterling warrior was upon him, and the moment was over.
That is not, however, to say it was forgotten…

Pass the Stories, Please
With many families gathered for Thanksgiving dinners, it is the perfect occasion to remember family heritage by retelling family stories. To insure their preservation, these stories should be told and retold, and should also be recorded in some fashion, whether on paper, in audio or video format.
If family members need a little prompting, try these themes to get them talking:
Places you have lived: towns, cities, addresses, descriptions of houses
Favorites: color, smells, season, food, music, holiday, flower, book
Belongings: cars, clothes, heirlooms, toys
Pets: types, names, what was special about them
Holidays and vacations: where did you go, how did you get there, who went with you, what did you do
Hobbies and leisure time: sports, collecting, entertainment, creating
Culture and the arts: what part did music, books, theatre, radio, movies, tv play in your life
Schools you attended: special teachers, favorite subjects
Important events: humorous, embarrassing, historic
People in your life
Children and grandchildren will appreciate having a written record of your life, and all adults should consider putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, to save their stories and thoughts for family. To help you get started, Tazewell County Public Library offers several books:
Raymond Mungo. Your Autobiography: more than 300 questions to help you write your personal history
Bernard Selling. Writing from Within: a step-by-step guide to writing your life's stories
Linda Spence. Legacy: a step-by-step guide to writing personal history
Lou Willett Stanek. Writing Your Life: putting your past on paper
For some examples of true stories written by men and women of all ages and walks of life, from across the country, check out these two delightful collections:
Listening Is an Act of Love: a celebration of American life from the Story Corp Project, and
I Thought My Father Was God: and other true tales from NPR's National Story Project by Paul Auster. The opening story, "The Chicken", a 7-line paragraph, is priceless.
A family's oral history can be treasured for many future generations. Take advantage of present opportunities, which may not come again, to collect, share, and preserve your priceless heritage. For more resources, call the Library at 988.2541.

Windhorst said that "unless something unforeseen happens" the deal would go through. Also, Cavaliers forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2013, would go to the Philadelphia 76ers as part of a deal for forward Thaddeus Young. An undetermined number of draft picks will also be involved.
However, the centerpieces are Love and Wiggins.
The Cavaliers are not allowed to officially trade Wiggins until Aug. 23 due to a rule prohibiting draft picks from being traded until 30 days after they sign with the team that drafted them.
But if the trade goes through as reported, it would put Love on the same team in Cleveland with LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. It could make the Cavaliers a title contender one year after they finished with a 33-49 record in 2013-2014.
Love averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 points this past season for the Timberwolves. He was named to the All-Star team for the third time in 2014.
Wiggins was the No. 1 overall pick this year's draft, so if Cleveland trades away both Wiggins and Bennett it will be giving away the No. 1 overall pick in the past two NBA drafts.

H.S. Football Notebook: Clippers look to make a 'day' of it
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
The third-seeded Portsmouth High School football team can cross another item off its Division III bucket list when it hosts No. 4 Goffstown in the Division III championship game on Saturday (1 p.m.).

Hmmm, why then, when my kids wake me up at 4am, can I turn on the lights? Why do the lights on the motorways stay lit? Why does a hospital stay open?
I like Huhn_m's idea about efficiency:
Now, to look at your idea of efficiency.
You want to take the entire fuel and try and get me to admit that nuclear reactors are only 1% efficient? Well, for a modern PWR, the fuel is used 3 times. 1st cycle it has an enrichment of about 5%. In it's second cycle some of the U-235 has been 'burnt' so the enrichment is probably of the order of 3%. For the third and last cycle, the enrichment has fallen to about 2% because of burnup. When the fuel is discharged, it has just about the same isotopic enrichment as natural Uranium. So, the usable fuel has gone from 5% to less than 1%. I call that about 80% efficiency.
Now, lets look at wind power.
The available 'fuel' is the wind correct?
So, assuming that there are 1,000,000 wind turbines in the world, their available surface area for the wind to act on (assuming 50m blades, and neglecting the spaces between the blades) is approximately, PI*502= 7854m
That gives us a total surface area for 1,000,000 wind turbines of 7,854,000,000m2.
Now, the radius of the earth is 6,378.1km. So the surface area of the earth is 4*PI*6,378,1002= 5.11E+14m2.
So, negating the total volume of the atmosphere and just looking at the total fuel available to these million wind turbines (i.e. the total surface area of the earth that is acted upon by the wind), we have an efficiency of 7.854E+9 divided by 5.11E+14 = 1.537e-5 or 0.0015%
And that assumes perfect power output (100% load factor), no conversion losses, etc.
What were you saying about efficiency again?
Edit: Oh, I don't want to shock you, but I actually agree with you on the micro generation idea. Unfortunately, it isn't suitable for everyone. I live in a built up area and even if I could get the PV or wind turbine past the planning office, I wouldn't get anything like enough money back to pay for my investment, even given the 45p feed in tariff subsidy that the government would give me for every unit I exported to the grid.

Orange Chiffon Cake
Chiffon cake—much like angel cake in the US (but tastes better)—is one of the most popular cakes in Malaysia and Singapore. Walk into any cake shops or supermarkets, you can always find various flavors of chiffon cake for sale. Chiffon cake is prized for its very light, soft, and cottony texture. Everyone loves it.
Believe it or not, I was quite a Orange chiffon cake baker when I was in high school. During one of my high school years, I remember my eldest sister-in-law started baking chiffon cake at home. She had learned how to bake chiffon cake from her co-worker and started testing out the recipe. I loved pottering in the kitchen, watching the preparation and baking process. She started teaching me her recipe. I remember vividly she had to beat the egg whites until soft peaks formed, during which she would turn the container with the egg whites upside down to test the readiness. She cautioned me that if the egg whites were runny, the cake would fail. The foamy texture of the egg whites mesmerized me…I thought it was amazing that the egg whites defy gravity!
Soon after that, I started testing out her chiffon cake recipe, with great success. While the most popular is pandan chiffon cake, I loved making orange chiffon cake. My late aunt would always buy me oranges. Once in a while, I would bake coffee chiffon cake and she would ask her friend from the coffee shop for some Nescafe coffee mix. For a month or two, my favorite pass time was baking orange chiffon cake. I loved the citrusy fragrance and the mild tangy flavor of orange chiffon cake.
As with many teenage obsessions, soon I found another hobby and I stopped baking. Fast forward to many years later, the last chiffon cake I made was this lemon chiffon cake I posted many years ago. If you asked me if I still remember my sister-in-law's recipe, the answer is a clear no. However, I am happy that my contributor CP Choong is sharing her Orange Chiffon Cake recipe with us, which brings back many memories of my high school days.

Rasa, my first impression on visiting your post was "orange sunshine!" :) I also liked your lemon juice substitution… very citrus-y and an appropriate add for this lovely cake. Thank you!
Looks delicious.. I love chiffon cakes… now you gave me an idea to add orange to it :) thanks
I was hoping that instagram photo I saw via your twitter account was indeed a recipe that would be available on your website and it is! Will do this with my daughter next month for our monthly baking event.
Thanks for sharing!
Is superfine sugar equivalent to caster sugar? I used caster sugar in another baking and I found it was difficult to dissolve in the egg yolk batter. Any tips on that?
This is a 'must try' recipe.
I can't wait to try this!
The recipe for Chiffon Cake was developed by Harry Baker in 1927. He lived in Los Angeles, and his cake soon became very popular among celebrity parties in the Hollywood area. He kept his recipe a guarded secret until 1947 when he sold the recipe to General Mills.
General Mills was formed in 1921 when the Washburn Crosby Company merged with five other Milling companies. The name Betty Crocker was developed by General Mills to promote their products. The public soon became so enamored to Betty Crocker that they considered her a real person, and General Mills actually put a picture up to portray Betty Crocker.
The General Mills company then fine tuned the recipe so the average cook could duplicate it. The recipe was unveiled in the May 1948 issue of "Better Homes and Garden Magazine" giving Betty Crocker the credit.
In 1950 General Mills published the "Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook", and featured the recipe for Chiffon Cake.
The original recipe calls for regular sugar. I was born in 1947. I still have my Grandmother's "Better Homes And Garden Cookbook". Perhaps superfine sugar was not available in 1947. I don't think it matters.
John. Being born in 1947 makes you quite young. I was born in n 1944.
For extra fine sugar you can put it in the blender.

j'ai aimé le gâteau , surtout qu'il est sans beurre
Chiffon cakes were also omnipresent in the midwest when I was growing up. I think they lost popularity when cake mixes took over the US in the 70s and 80s. As I remember, both lemon and orange were very popular and also strawberry which used the syrup from frozen strawberries to flavor and color the cake, and was frequently served with a dollop of the thawed berries and some whipped cream. The berries came in a rectangular container, were sliced, and had a mushy consistency–sounds disgusting now that fresh berries are available year round, but they were actually pretty tasty.
After the war the trend was for fast and easy. Cakes made from scratch became a thing of the past. My Grandmother always made cakes from scratch, and my mother always used a cake mix from a box. All food started to come in a can or a box. After coming to the Philippines the availability of processed cake mixes was limited. I became interested in making all dishes from scratch. I never use soup from a can. I make my own sauces and dips. This way I can control sugar and MSG. This is also why I enjoy Bee's recipes from Rasamalsysia. Her recipes are always tested, and changes are rarely needed. I always try her recipes exactly as written, and they always come out great.
Hi Bee, tested this Chiffon cake today. The looks of it is great but when I cut it I was a bit dismay. Overall it's good but it is not as fluffy as yours. Edible and taste good too. I baked it for 50 mins maybe at 60 mins it may turned out fluffier. Where did I go wrong ?
I keep referring back to the original recipe by Harry Baker. There are differences between the original recipe and this recipe. These differences may not be the cause of your problem. Please consider these suggestions. Did you sift the flour then measure again? If you weigh the flour as Bee suggests it would be better. I would weigh the flour then sift. The original recipe calls for cake flour. Cake flour is a fine-textured, soft-wheat flour with a high starch content. It has the lowest protein content of any wheat flour, 8% to 10% protein (gluten). It is chlorinated (a bleaching process which leaves the flour slightly acidic, sets a cake faster, and distributes fat more evenly through the batter to improve texture. When you're making baked goods with a high ratio of sugar to flour, this flour will be better able to hold its rise and will be less liable to collapse. This flour is excellent for baking fine-textured cakes with greater volume. If you cannot find cake flour, substitute bleached all-purpose flour, but subtract 2 tablespoons of flour for each cup used in the recipe. Or add 2 tbsp cornstarch to all-purpose flour for each cup of cake flour required. The tube pan must be ungreased, do not use wax paper on the bottom of the pan. The egg whites must be totally free of egg yolk. I separate each egg in a separate bowl, and when certain there is no yolk, then I add it to the other whites. The cake must be cooled upside down. This may take up to 1 hour. The secret ingredients for chiffon cake are vegetable oil, and egg yolks. But both vegetable oil, and egg yolks, have a negative affect on egg whites, preventing the whites from forming peaks. So why does it work with a chiffon cake? The answer is "I simply do not know". Do not dismay, have fun but follow the fundamentals.
Hi, Its a little difficult to get self raising flour in Taiwan . Is it ok to use all purpose flour and then add baking powder? Also, will it be ok to use a normal cake pan instead of the tube pan. Thanks
Hi Bee and John,
Thank you for the tips and advice. Will definitely try it again. I measure the flour first then sift. The flour I used was self raising instead of cake flour. Maybe I should try using that :) Thanks so much and will let you guys know the outcome.
Hi Bee,
Bake again today and it turned out great. Its fuffly and light. This time I used cake flour as suggested by John. Thank you to both of your advice and motivation.
It's delicious.
thank Rasa :)
After about 20 years of not baking I made this cake yesterday. It was light and fluffy. I could've had a bit more sugar and oranges peel but that's me not this lovely cake. Thank you very much.
Tried it today and love it! Cake is very fluffy and light my husband could not stop eating it.
Do you know the best way to store the cake for left over?
Hi. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I've always wanted to try this. Can I ask why there are two indications of the superfine sugar in the ingredients? One is for 50g and the other listing is 130g?
Am I supposed to have 180g total?
Hi I love chiffon cake but would like to turn this into chocolate flavor. How do I do it?
what will be the effect if i add cream of tartar to the egg whites?
Hi, just wondering if you have a plain/vanilla chiffon cake recipe?
How would it work if I use a bundt mold? Do I let it cool upside down? Or flip it right way after its out of the oven?
Can I put fresh or can orange in the cake?
Terrific recipe! This is the first chiffon cake I have ever made with such a lovely texture (this is my second try, my first cake – different recipe – came out dry and hard). Moist and delicious.

Merrimack Tractors and Mowers, Inc.: LIFO or FIFO? (audio version)
William J. Bruns Jr., Sharon Bruns, Susan S. Harmeling
Publication Date:Dec 09, 2008
Source:HBS Brief Cases
Product number:
English Audio MP3
|English Audio MP3
$ 1.00
When students have the English-language PDF of this Brief Case in a coursepack, they will also have the option to purchase an audio version.
At Merrimack Tractors and Mowers in 2008, product manufacturing costs are increasing faster than competitors' costs, and as a result earnings are likely to fall below those reported in 2007. The company president and the company controller have discussed this problem, and the controller has mentioned that if the company changed from LIFO to FIFO it might be possible to maintain earnings growth in 2008. He prepares a memo to the president explaining how inventory flow assumptions work and provides pro-forma income statements that show that, for one product (reel mower units), adopting FIFO would allow Merrimack to report higher income in 2008 than it did in 2007, but higher income taxes would have to be paid.
learning objective:
(1) To expose students to differences in permitted methods of inventory valuation. This naturally leads to a discussion of how asset valuation, income and (in this case) taxes are interrelated; (2) to introduce the idea that companies have choices about accounting policies used in preparing their financial reports.
subjects covered:
Business ethics; International Financial Reporting Standards; Inventory
- Geographic: United States
- Event Year Begin: 2008

Windy winter wonderland hits region
Monday, December 31, 2012
DOVER — It's beginning to look a lot like ... winter.
"She got a little too close to the bush here and hooked her ski on it and tipped over," he said. "She went off the sled and her knee got caught under the handle bars and twisted her leg."
She was transported to the hospital, but reportedly did not have any broken bones.
Areas including Route 4 and Route 236 in South Berwick, Maine and Rollinsford had snow drifting through open fields and onto the roads on Sunday due to high winds causing cars to continue to travel slowly to their destinations even on the partly sunny afternoon.
AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said the area was seeing close to 40 miles per hour winds.
Temperatures were also dropping close to the teens during the afternoon and according to Pydynowski, they will not be creeping up to above freezing any time soon.
Pydynowski is predicting the next set of precipitation to be snow flurries on New Year's Day.
