Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
I use this as my all-around jacket. It is surprisingly comfortable over a t-shirt. It slips easily over my fleece or down sweater or both. It is not as warm as you'd expect: either air actually slowly blows through, or it conducts heat. Pretty amazing for a waterproof.
The very stiff waterproof zipper catches and jams on the inner storm flap. This is a big problem.
The hood adjuster is located at the back of the head. Leaning back against a chair or rock presses it into one's skull. So: no relaxing with the hood on.
The great chest pockets are waterproof, so you have to bail them out if water gets in. They have waterproof zippers, but if you are using them as hand-warmers water will run down your arms and into the pockets. There are large interior pouches for things you really want to keep dry.
While I highly recommend this NeoShell fabric, the zipper is making it very hard to use and I can't recommend this jacket.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
Picked this up the other day and finally got a chance to give it a test-drive - in some unseasonably warm weather. Took it up Mount Monadnock on a 60 degree day. I purposely over-insulated myself (two wool layers) and pushed hard and fast to the top (Marlboro trail bottom to top in 35 minutes!). When I broke out of treeline I hit a gnarly hail/rain mix, 65 mph winds, and the temp had dropped to 40 degrees. And there I stood, sweating through both my base layers. However, this shell blocked out all the wind, rain and cold. I stayed at the top for about 30 minutes and guess what? The inside of the shell, fully zipped, had pushed out all the sweat and vapor. I was as comfortable as could be. This is no boring, stifling PU hard shell...this thing breathes! I laughed out loud in delight and ate a granola bar. Despite sweating profusely from my layers I remained comfortable the WHOLE trip...and now I was DRY! I have no doubt Polartec is onto something gamechanging here. Kudos to EMS for making a completely bombproof piece of equipment. One piece of advice for next season: give this jacket and hood more of an "athletic" feel. I'm a big guy and this was even a touch baggy for me. Honestly, this is the only criticism I have for this jacket. However, as a winter shell, with the extra layers, I don't see this being that much of an issue. Can't wait to try this as my full-time winter shell...psyched! Glad to see two New England-based companies collaborating and pushing out some SERIOUS stuff!

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
Since I bought the jacket in late October, I've been using it for all purpose duty in foul weather, and as a ski jacket for more than 20 days on snow. I'm 5'10" 185 lbs with a wide, athletic frame. My measurements are 16 3/4" neck, 34" sleeve, and 42" chest. I wear a Large.
It's nice to see EMS among the early adopters of NeoShell, which is also made by a New England company. Overall, the fabric breathes very well and durability hasn't been a problem. When it's really windy, but not cold enough to warrant a mid-layer, it can get a bit chilly. But I feel that's a reasonable trade off for much improved breathability.
I find that the overall shape of the jacket is an excellent match for my boxy torso. I have the perfect amount of room in the shoulders and chest, and there are no areas that exhibit an over abundance of material. The fabric stretches a little bit, so freedom of movement is great. Occasionally, when I have reach for something, I find that the sleeves may be a bit short. The design of the large waterproof pockets is good.
My only real issue with the fit has to do with the hood, which is supposedly helmet compatible. I tried using the hood with 2 different snow helmets, and in each case, I was barely able to get the hood over the helmet. The hood would then slide off as soon as I started moving my head. Also, when zipped up, the fit is pretty tight around the chin, and it gets very constricting when the hood is stretched over a helmet.
Also, as others have reported, the operation of the main zipper has been a problem. The zipper routinely gets stuck on the inner storm flap, just below the chin, even when you're paying close attention. And once it's stuck, it usually means removing your gloves and goggles (since you can't see directly below you) to free the zipper. And guess when this happens? When it's cold, windy, exposed, and you really need the zipper to work. Smooth operation of the zipper is especially difficult with gloves on, and the zipper does occasionally get stuck in other places if you're not careful.
Overall, I think the jacket represents a good value as long as the issues I brought up aren't deal breakers. I'm not so sure I'd be as patient if there were more NeoShell jackets to choose from in a similar price range.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
I skiied in this jacket a few times and did some field work. Overall a nice jacket with enough pockets that really does seem to breathe well even without pitvents (spring skiing will really test this. most of my days out were <20F). the cinch straps worked well too. A couple caveats though: 1. zipper catches on the storm flap. very annoying. at least the zipper is big enough that it looks durable unlike earlier versions. 2. I ordered a medium which is usually fine but it seems to be cut a little slimmer than I'm used to making layering hard...afterall, it is a winter shell.
Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
Looked for a modern replacement for my 15 y/o Goretex jacket which is bombproof, but stiff, boardy, and doesn't breathe. It served me well for years of winter "fun" in the worst weather the White Mtns can dish out. Came down to Event or Neoshell, and I decided to go with the latter as the breathability claim seduced me - all of the waterproof/breathables I've tried are sweatboxes.
The Zion really feels more like a softshell. It is a quiet fabric with just a bit of stretch. I've kept the jacket as it really does perform. I love the simplicity of its design and the breathability. I do have 2 issues: fit and hood. I own other size L Marmot jackets and they are bulbous around the torso. I am 5'10 170 with a climbers build (41" chest, 32 waist, big shoulders) and seem to be in-between sizes in a lot of jackets regardless of brand; a L with an athletic cut is best a la Arcteryx, Mtn Hardwear. Marmot claims the Zion is an athletic cut, to which I say "meh"... I bought a Med counting on some stretch. It fits well but is restrictive in the shoulders, and the most I could layer under it is a stretch fleece pullover type of thing. A L would have sleeves stupid-long and the same baggy torso so I kept the Med.
The hood is large to fit over a helmet. I bought this jacket for fall-winter hiking, period. I climb rock and ice but have no intention of using this jacket for that. I gave up wearing hardshells for ice, NOTHING will breathe enough. I go with a softshell and throw on a W/P-insulated jacket at belays. I don't ski with a helmet...It is near impossible to buy a high-end jacket these days that DOESN'T have a huge helmet-compatible hood, and it annoys me as in use without one they don't sit very well all scrunched up... and look ridiculous in town.
Aside from that, I am loving the jacket for its amazing breathability. It really works and leave it a lot rather than seizing the first opportunity (rain stops, out of the wind, etc) to take it off. The lack of pit zips is a BONUS, as they are unneeded - and not very effective in most jackets. I DO wish they had used mesh inside the pockets so they could serve as vents. Instead they doubled the fabric behind the pockets, which is heavier and probably doesn't breathe worth a dang. Hiking the Columbia Gorge, Olympics, Mt St Helens, etc, I have had ample opportunity to wear it in the rain. It keeps me dry!
If you like Marmot fit, this jacket won't disappoint. Neoshell works, and Marmot quality is there.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
I'll use this for hiking, snowshoeing and alpine travel. I sweat a lot and have tried several hardshells with condensation problems. This truly breaths better. After a fast, hour long walk where I sometimes get soaked in a softshell MH Dragon jacket, I was dry. The Helix was only slighly damp inside, my fleece was dry. Main zipper is a little sticky at times, otherwise I would have given 5 stars. Well built.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
this is an update to my previous review. i realize this is a 2 yr old jacket - but most companies design their shells to last 5+ yrs, at least. Not EMS. This jacket has a thin softshel texture and performs well at first. however after a year the fabric started to delaminate and it's defintely not waterproof. people donot have these problems after 2 yrs with patagonia and MHW shells, but perhaps thats why they cost 2x. i might try the newest helix which feels more like a hardshell but i am dubious. the price is just easier to handle on a student budget.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
I was looking for a jacket that would be perfect for the trail as well as the chilly New York commute. I've bought from EMS because their products are top notch with a price thats unbeatable.
This jacket was okay considering the price. Polartec shell is sufficient for the frosty winds and the hood will certainly protect from the elements. The fitting was a bit strange, with a slim torso but very loose sleeves. It would have been nicer to have a more modern fit. Also you have to be very careful zipping up, otherwise the frost flap might get stuck. I would recommend this if you buy it on sale.

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Men's Helix Jacket:
I bought this during the clearance sale because I wanted to try out the Polartec Neoshell fabric. I wear this over my work clothes on rainy days, so I need something that breathes well otherwise I get sweaty. Definitely waterproof and more breathable than my Marmot Precip jacket. As mentioned in other reviews, the zipper is horrible. It takes me an extra 10 seconds just to get it right. I will live with that inconvenience due to the awesome deal that I got. I recommend Neoshell, but it is hard for me to recommend this jacket unless you have a lot of patience.

Treat dispensers: Obama and the Easter Bunny
The Eastery Bunny and President Obama have a lot in common. Both are dressed up characters with a mythology to sell. One plays a creature with magical powers who hops all over the world to deliver sweet treats, free of charge, to everyone who believes in him. The other is a low-wage dude in a rabbit costume.
President Obama thrives on his own myth: that the United States suffers from a shortage of goodies dispensed personally by him. He promises to rectify that by borrowing trillions of dollars to finance his egg-dispensing. Infrastructure funding here, college subsidies there, scientific research over there, with loads of new regulations to fertilize the seeds, and soon, like tulips in spring - bing! - the economy will shoot back to life.
He's put that magical thinking into practice for five years. It has not worked. And yet people still believe him, just as children believe in the Easter Bunny. Eventually, though, children grow up. What's the Obama voter's excuse?

Gun pulled in Manchester road-rage incident
The man, who police did not identify in a news release, said the incident happened about 4 p.m. Immediately after, the other driver followed him as he drove east on Auburn Street and south on Wilson Street, according to the police report.
When the man came to a red light at Valley Street, the driver was still behind him in his sky blue, older-model Ford Taurus. The man watched through his rear-view mirror as the other driver motioned toward him and pointed a firearm into the air.The driver of the Taurus then got out of his car and started walking toward him.
Although the driver did not appear to be carrying the gun, the man was concerned for his safety and took off, heading straight to the police station about two blocks away.
The armed driver is described as a 300-pound black man in his 30s. He was wearing a beige sweatshirt, blue jeans and a red and black winter hat.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.

text: I am ethnic Serbian, and I can trace my background 400 years backwards, all the way to Old Serbia (Old Ras), present Montenegro, and one could call me nationalist, but im no more nationalist than ordinary Englishman. Being nationalist, means I love my country and my nation, and I am proud of my nation multi cultural and multi ethnical heritage. Many of Serbias best and brightest were not ethnic Serbians, but they loved Serbia, as one should love country where one was born and grown. Some citizens of Serbia, like those ``ethnic Albanians`` as they call them selfs, never wanted to become part of our country. To be honest, to few ethnic Serbians wanted to accept them as there own. For example you can compare so called ``ethnic Albanians`` from Preshevo Valley to Ethnic Welshman in G.B. Diference is that Albanians came to Serbia carryng guns, following European invasion of Osman Turks in 15c.

You sure? Maybe since 12.5?
Phoronix: AMD To Drop Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 Catalyst Support
In what will certainly be controversial and disappointing to some Radeon Linux desktop users, AMD will soon announce that they will effectively be discontinuing support for several Radeon product families from their proprietary Catalyst driver. After that point, for future Linux distribution updates, the open-source Radeon Linux driver will be your only option for accelerated graphics. This is likely happening with the Windows Catalyst driver too, but at least there they have a better-maintained legacy driver process.
You sure? Maybe since 12.5?
I expected that for DX10 hardware, just did not know when it would happen. AMD tends to drop support for hardware that did never 100% work. It is fairly simple to replace PCI-E cards but laptop users will absolutely love AMD for this move. Also you can forget every onboard solution for AM3+, as series 8 chipsets only have got HD 42xx and series 9 chipsets have got no IGP at all. Of course you don't want a faster Phenom or FX CPU together with fglrx, don't you? The 3d performance was not good anyway for IGP but some simple games worked better than using oss and some ppl maybe used xvba (even if it was limited). xvba was "officially" supported for series hd 4. So if you want to have got a cpu which are faster than those you get for FM1 you can only buy Intel, nice marketing aspect. At least you can use vaapi with Intel. You can understand that move because AMD really needs to save money as they lost 590 mio $ only in q1/12. They should at least sell some fast cpus, faster than the current fx joke cpus made for gamers...
Well, they kinda need this due to current situation. Namely, cut the costs. Which is for what many people actually disliked and did not purchase ATI - for bad support. Things repeat themself.
AMD starts to support open-source in a very tasty way!...
sure the catalyst is a lie! and this move will improve the radeon driver!
Ok AMD just try to do that and you will never see one more $ from me and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I bought a new laptop just one year ago with a radeon card on it (a lenovo thinkpad edge 15 for the reference, the series with the nehalem processor). You cannot just drop the support for it so quickly. And don't even try to say "use the open source radeon driver", it just half works and i didn't paid the laptop half the price .
I dumped fglrx ages ago and not regretted it. Ordinary Open Source users simply aren't its target audience. The driver was always behind new kernels and X servers, bugs remained unfixed, no-one was interested in receiving bug reports and its stability/usability fluctuated wildly from month to month anyway.
The Open Source drivers may not have all the benchmark performance, but in my experience they have a stability and consistency that fglrx could never achieve in its darkest dreams.
Big surprise...? It's a nod to the fact there's an open driver that works quite well for that hardware?

The negative reviews I read suggested this might be an issue, but I ignored them - obviously these people were doing something wrong, how can Cuisinart make something of poor quality...? Turns out Cuisinart is great at making really nice looking stuff that isn't the best quality. I was shockingly disappointed in Cuisinart and returned them for a different brand. Proceed with caution...
Cuisinart stopped being a cutting-edge epicurean brand after it was bought by Conair, the hair-dryer company.
georoxx wrote:ANSWER: In the past several years, induction cooktops have become more common. These models have smooth glass surfaces, too, but they use electromagnetic elements, which heat the pan directly rather than transferring heat from a radiant burner to the pan bottom. Cookware must be magnetic -- made of stainless steel or cast iron -- in order for an induction cooktop to work; glass and ceramic cookware won't do.
FYI, not all stainless steel is magnetic. Conversely, in rare cases, some non-magnetic metals may work too. BTW, the Japanese have invented an ultra-high wattage induction system that works on all metals. Because of the power usage, it's not yet practical for home use.
aldrenean wrote:Why would anyone want non-stick pots? Or more than one or two non-stick pans, for that matter? They're only really useful for eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches, stuff like that...
Non-stick is much easier to clean. Teflon is both hydro- and lipophobic, meaning that it repels both water and fats. That explains the sheeting action, where water (and oil) beads and literally rolls off a Teflon surface. That means a simple soapy wipe can clean off most foods. Compare that with plastics, where grease often clings on (that's because most plastics are made of petroleum, a grease attracts grease). Uncoated metals are somewhere in between in terms of unburnt foods. Burnt foods are of course a b*tch to clean. So even if you don't burn or char foods, and never go above 212F, a Teflon pot is still easier to clean. Teflon is also inert so it's non-reactive to any food. Some metals, for example, react to acidic foods like tomatoes and vinegar. Others, such as cast iron, may impart a metallic taste. Having a Teflon lining means that it won't interact with any food.
radi0j0hn wrote:Check bird fancier sites, as in parrots, etc., and see their warnings about non-stick at high temps and what it does to indoor birds.
As the original poster wrote, it's only dangerous above 500F, when PTFE breaks down and vaporizes to become a gas. That's the only way it'll reach a bird's lungs. Solid Teflon is inert. FYI, cooking oils break down way before 500F (aka the smoking point) so they release toxic fumes much earlier. A 1950's study verified this. Unlike Teflon fumes, however, these fumes are not fatal to birds.
charliecarroll wrote:That is very cool for you and that is great. I live 40 miles from the closest Sams and Cosco. They happen to only be about two miles apart. But I have to do the math for me. $3.49 per gallon of gas. Hour and a half round trip. $40 each, a year to belong. Or, I can sit my butt at home and get it here for $5! You see there is no right or wrong here. It all depends on circumstance. So for you it is great to walk across the street to Sams and doing it often makes the annual fees worth it. For me, the time gas, effort and fees, suck. I love Fedex and UPS when the shipping cost is low. And that does not even equate to the fact that according to my computer, Sams wants $10 more to begin with. And you say Sams and Costco will take two year old cookware that has been used and cooked with for two years back?? I have to assume you mean and give you a full refund?? If that is true, you are right. I need to drive the miles. Spend the extra bucks and trade in my cookware every two years for new. Now that is a deal! I don't believe it but, it sure sounds good!
Actually, we have returned many things to Costco, sometimes years later, and you don't even need a reason- they take it back!! Once my husband returned a VitaMix simply because he wanted to buy the newer model! Costco is fabulous for so many reasons! Petition them to build near you- they're so accommodating, they just might do it!
If anyone bought this and decides they don't want it, please email me. I will buy yours. firstname.lastname@example.com
The frying pans have lasted but the nonstick coating on the two sauce pans already is coming off. No metal utensils were used on them. I wouldn' buy again.

These came with a limited lifetime warranty with Cuisinart, did you try contacting them for replacement? You can do so here, it seems.

About Hal Leonard Fake Books
A "fake book" contains songs written in a concise format that includes only the melody and chords, letting you interpret the song's performance as you feel is appropriate. This is great for quickly learning songs by yourself or with an ensemble. Each song in a fake book only has a single melody actually written out in notes, which is usually the vocal or lead melody. This melody will have the lyrics written beneath the notes, with each word aligned to its corresponding note. Above the notes of the melody will appear the names of the appropriate chords to play - for example, a "C minor" chord would be written as "Cmin" or Cm", rather than writing out all of the notes in those chords as they appeared in the original version of the song. This format is very compact, which is why you will often see fakebooks containing 500 or more songs.

Tanja - Katja II. (Romanze im Volkston). By Rodion Shchedrin (1932-). For female voice and violin. This edition: ED 9535. Vocal Music. Score and parts. Composed 1998. 11 pages. Duration 8 minutes. Published by Schott Music (SD.49015651).
Tiefe slawische Empfindung und packende Virtuositat - das zeichnet viele Kompositionen Rodion Shchedrins aus. Auch wenn er langst zu einem Weltburger geworden ist, bleibt der in Moskau Geborene dennoch ein originar russischer Komponist, dessen Bindung zur russischen Musikfolklore und Dichtung nie abgebrochen ist. In Tanja - Katja entwickelt Shchedrin allein unter Verwendung des Silbenmaterials der beiden Frauennamen eine Melodiestruktur von tiefster Emotionalitat. Ein weiter Bogen spannt sich von den Wurzeln des traditionell russischen Liedgutes bis hin zu zeitgenossischen Kompositionstechniken. Als Lieder ohne Worte entstehen auf rein musikalischem Weg plastische Psychogramme - auch wenn nicht wirklich verraten wird, wer sich hinter den zwei ratselhaften Namen verbirgt.

Saving the last of the veggies...
Once again I find myself at the end of the week, rushing to use up all the remnants of my organic veggie basket before my charming organic farmer shows up at my doorstep with my new basket. With every new batch, I promise myself that I will be diligent about using all my vegetables, and find delicious new (or not new, but still delicious) ways to prepare them, after which I will post them here and pat myself on the back.
Some days that is exactly what I do.
Sigh...not this week.
Not last week either, judging from the glum lack of posts here.
I won't bore you with tales of feeling under-the-weather and mountains-of-work and what such. I'm sure nobody is a stranger to that (and if you are well, lucky you!). As such, I am also sure that there are those of you who likewise fall into that inevitable position of having to make use (or "liquidate" as I like to nerdily refer to it) of the vegetable remainders.
So, instead of letting another silent week pass us by, I decided to share what I sometimes find myself scrambling to do come end of the week (if I haven't been diligent about using up all my vegetables in new and inventive ways that is).
I usually get half a squash with my basket, and no matter how much I love squash, there is sometimes a straggling portion that remains in the bottom of the crisper by the time the next squash is due. When it's evident that I am not going to make good use of it, I chop it up, put it on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast it until it's toasty and soft. While it's roasting I can get on with whatever is keeping me too busy to make a proper squash dish. When it's done I let it cool then chuck it into a freezer bag, and using my hands, mash the squash through the bag until it is a rough puree. Then I put it to bed in the freezer for some future squash soup!
Another regular specimen I get in my basket is these lovely white cucumbers. They are crunchy and refreshing...especially in the heat we are experiencing now! Although they are fantastic fresh in salads or on fish, I find myself more often than not pickling them. It's a great way to extend their shelf life (especially if you are getting another batch soon and need to make room) and it becomes a wonderful condiment that complements anything from grills to sandwiches to fried fish! I have no recipe to share on this count, as I usually just throw in whatever appeals to me at that moment (remember, this is usually done on the fly, when very busy, and there is no choice but to use the cucumbers now!). You can use your favourite pickling solution but in a pinch I just mix some vinegar with salt and sugar (by taste) and add whatever herbs or spices I might have on hand (fresh dill, fennel fronds, shallots, chilis, whole peppercorns, dill seed, coriander seed...whatever strikes my fancy!).
The cucumbers aren't the only things that get pickled. Pickling is a terrific way to take something, put it in suspended animation for a while, then resurrect it at some later date when you have caught your breath. For this batch, I've also done it to a small piece of ampalaya (bitter melon) and radish. Pickled radish is something I've made before, and for this mix I've used much the same pickling solution as I did then. Vinegar and sugar, and lots of black pepper (freshly ground and whole). I also added sliced long green chilis, and some Himalayan pink salt. Before adding the ampalaya to the mix I prep it first as I did here to tone down the bitterness.
Now, bear in mind that I'm not referring to pickling produce by bulk for the winter! That does demand time and work (and certain strict measures of sterilization). What I do is make a small pickling solution (as I've described above), place some veggies in it, and store in the fridge for short term usage.
Whew! Now I've got some veggies effectively tucked away for future use. The crisper is breathing easy and so am I :)

I love the idea of pickling ampalaya; the end result is a fab condiment for roast pork. ^_^
Oh, and Himalayan salt for pickled radishes sounds so good! - 10:23 AM
- Manggy said...
Oh, maybe you've found a way for me to finally be able to tolerate ampalaya! :) I love the preserving kick you're on-- I'm going to be looking forward to the squash soup (it is so hot, though!) :)
- zoe said...
I really love pickled cucumbers. The rest of the veggies sounds good too!
- MyKitchenInHalfCups said...
Oh pickled radish, I'd like to try that.
Any roasted squash I'd probably throw in a salad.
Good eats here Joey, thanks for good ideas. - 2:11 AM
- Elyse said...
Mmm, that roasted squash looks absolutely delicious--as do the pickled cucumbers! Yum! What a great way to use up the straggling remnants of the veggie basket. Sorry that you're feeling a bit under weather--and swamped with work! No fun! Hopefully, you start feeling better and getting out from under the piles of work soon!
Really, chichajo, that's hard to be torn between work and lovely vegetables which if not cooked will just wither away. Pickling is a good way to preserve veggies albeit even short term. My kids love squash soup. Does it taste a lot better if you roast the squash first? I usually just saute them in onions, add some water and zap away. :)
- Paz said...
Tasty-looking and sounding!

Wonderful meal tasteful condiment for roast pork.
Thanks for sharing your recipe:)
And you can visit me if I can visit you:)

Hi Midge! It's a great way of preserving the ampalaya...and if you prep it to get rid of some of the bitterness it really does make it nice and mellow!
Hi Manggy! I am not a fan of ampalaya either but having them in my veggie basket (and having a husband that loves it!) is pushing me to figure out ways to use it :) If you follow the steps in my ampalaya with egg post on getting rid of some of the bitterness, that plus the pickling really mellows it out! I was going to agree with you about the heat when suddenly there as a downpour! Strange weather...rainy season cometh!
Hi Zoe! I used to hate pickles until I started making my own :) Now I really like them...still don't like the ones from the supermarket though...
Hi Tanna! Thanks for the tip as well – will definitely try my roasted squash in a salad next time...although by the time I do this my salad greens are long gone!
Hi Elyse! Thank you! Hanging in here! :)
Hi Corrine! Hehe :) I hear ya! I like the way the soup tastes when I roast the squash first...sometime I roast onions and garlic with the squash and use those in the soup as well. You can try it with other vegetables too – roast in the oven first before turning into soup – like tomato, capsicum, eggplants, zucchini...roast veggie soup, yum!
Thanks Paz!
Hi Foodcreate...will check it out :) - 11:30 AM
- carina said...
My Lola usually makes minatamis na kalabasa. She would slice the squash very thinly, then dry it under the sun. afterwards, she will make a simple syrup and cook the squash. it is actually really good!
- Marvin said...
Pickled ampalaya! I'm trying to wrap my mind around how that might taste, but I'll try it myself to see;) Except I'll keep as much bitterness as I can as I love ampalaya.
- Dhanggit said...
oh your pickled veggies remind me of my dad's fave!! they are perfect with anything grilled!! hope you will save some for me hehehe
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Carina! That does sound good and I'm sure I would love it because I like a similar preparation for kamote :)
Hi Marvin! It's good! I like it and I don't even like ampalaya...you are lucky to love it – it's so healthy!
Hi Dhanggit! Super perfect with grills – especially grilled liempo :) Ack! It's actually all finished already...my husband also loves it apparently :) - 10:09 PM
- Susan from Food Blogga said...
I just adore your description of pickling as a "terrific way to take something, put it in suspended animation for a while, then resurrect it at some later date when you have caught your breath." We can all relate, yet you said it so eloquently.
- Watergirl said...
I saw these rather rotund ampalaya in a chinese market recently, it wasn't all green, wore a blush of orange in spots. I wonder if it will be less bitter than our all green gourds.
- Merry said...
What are white cucumbers??? do they have a white peel as well as being white on the inside?
I never thought of roasting then freezing my sad veggie excess. - 1:46 PM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Susan! Thank you :) That's really how it felt like to me!
Hi M! Interesting! Can't wait to see you and make kwento :)
Hi Merry! The peel is white to a very light green...very pretty :) - 3:11 PM
- betty q. said...
I just love pickled ampalaya. Since mangoes are in abundance there, try adding julienned not so ripe mangoes so it is still quite firm...julienned sweet peppers (red and yellow) and lots ofjulienned ginger...the mangoes cuts the bitterness too of the ampalaya.
Marvin: it is mango season where you are. Add the mangoes,,Ataulfo variety..holds its shape even when ripe.
This pickled ampalaya with julienned Mexican mangoes (Ataulfo)is really addicting! - 6:25 AM

State of Alderney
this wiki
STATE State of Alderney | |
[[file:|{{{imagesize}}}]] | |
Appearance(s): | Grand Theft Auto IV The Lost and Damned The Ballad of Gay Tony |
Capital: | Alderney City |
Motto: | Industrial wasteland meets suburban hell. |
- "Strip malls and condos"
- ―GTA IV Website
The State of Alderney is an American state located to the west of Liberty City. Although the two states are completely independent from one another, the state's capitol of Alderney City is known by many as being part of Liberty City's metropolitan area. The state is only a little bit smaller than the neighboring Algonquin borough of Liberty City, but it is not known if the what is seen in-game is the whole of the state or whether it is just a section of it.
The state is only seen in Grand Theft Auto IV and its two downloadable content packs. In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the state was removed from the map, leaving only Liberty City open to the player.
The State of Alderney is based on the State of New Jersey, the state capital of Alderney City shares many similarities with Jersey City and unlike Liberty City it is much more consistent with its real-life counterpart in terms of spatial planning and geography. The state is mostly made up of in game representations of real life cities and townships in Hudson County, New Jersey however it also features portions of Bergen County (Leftwood) and Union County (Elizabeth).
The State is based on some areas of North New Jersey. Alderney is know for being the place people from Algonquin dump dead bodies into.
Alderney City can be considered suburban/urban and somewhat middle class overall. Alderney has a wide range of characters and atmospheres which include:
- Green space/forestland with big houses/mansions (North Westdyke)
- Commercial (Leftwood), (Berchem) and (Alderney City, Koreatown)
- Central business district (Alderney City, Downtown)
- Upper-class residential (Westdyke) and (Berchem)
- Middle-class residential (Leftwood) and (Tudor)
- Lower-class residential (Central Acter)
- Housing projects (West Tudor)
- Docklands (East Tudor), (Port Tudor), (Alderney City, Riverside) and (Normandy)
- Central industrial district (Acter Industrial Park)
- Semi-industrial (Tudor)
- Facility (Alderney State Correctional Facility)
- Run-down, gang influenced (Acter)
Crime and corruption are no less common in Alderney City than in Liberty City. The most crime-ridden areas in the city are south and central Alderney City in the neighborhoods of Acter, Berchem, and some parts of Tudor. The Pegorino Family and the Korean Mob conduct organized crime from within the city and Mafia families from Liberty City, such as the Ancelottis and Pavanos, also run operations there. The Alderney chapters of The Lost MC and M.O.B. are also active in the city.
The police officers of Alderney City wear uniforms different from those of Liberty City that resemble those of the New Jersey State Police. Contrary to this independence, the Alderney City police use vehicles bearing the livery of the LCPD. The reason for this sharing of a police force between two cities in two different states is never explained. Perhaps Alderney City could not afford to establish their own police force and, due to the city's proximity to Liberty City, made an arragement to share a metroploitan police force. This ability of a police force to operate across state lines is strange.
Gangs of Alderney
- Ancelotti Family
- Midtown Gangsters
- The Lost MC
- African Americans
- Pavano Family
- Pegorino Family
- Spanish Lords
Food & Drink
Alderney's dining services mostly come from fast food chains, such as the Pizza This and Burger Shot in Leftwood and Westdyke. Cluckin' Bell and Wigwam Burger are also seen around Berchem. The hot dog and peanut vendors spread throughout Alderney City. Alderney also has traditional restaurants such as Mr. Fuk's Rice Box, a Korean restaurant located in Alderney City.
Alderney's outer reaches are supplied by the Plumbers Skyway. The state is connected to Liberty City by the Booth Tunnel and Hickey Bridge, both of which cross the West River. A ferry terminal is under construction in Castle Garden City, Algonquin, which would supposedly connect it with the completed Alderney terminal, but the terminal is abandoned, and construction is only in progress on the Algonquin end.
- Hickey Bridge, connects Alderney City, Alderney, to Varsity Heights and North Holland, Algonquin, Liberty City.
- Booth Tunnel (Lincoln Tunnel), connects Alderney City to Westminster, Algonquin.
Much like other streets, Alderney streets are named after famous objects or people. Northern Alderney streets are named after mountain ranges, Owl Creek Ave, Beaverhead Drive, Big Horn Drive. Central Alderney streets are named after inventors, Babbage Drive, Farnsworth Road, Edison Ave, and cult leaders, Koresh Sq, Applewhite St, Hubbard Ave, and in Southern Alderney streets are after American nuclear tests, Plumbbob Ave, Niblick St and Tinderbox St.
- As an independent state, Alderney does not have a subway. However, around the state, the remnants of a rail system can be found. Although these tracks obviously once carried freight trains, they could have shared passenger service as well.

- If Alderney is accessed at the start of the game before neither Algonquin or Alderney is unlocked; it will be abandoned. There will be no cars or people in the state. (Except for the police, who will be chasing you). However, Algonquin is inhabited. This glitch does not occur on the PS3 version.
- Alderney is a neighboring island to Jersey in the English Channel, hence the name "Alderney" replacing "New Jersey" in GTA IV.
- Elizabeth of York and Queen Elizabeth I were members of the Tudor dynasty, hence 'Tudor' county substituting for New Jersey's Elizabeth county.
- Alderney is frequently derided by Libertonian citizens and news media like Weazel News throughout the game, parodying the antagonism between New York and New Jersey.
- Berchem is the name of a district in Antwerp, Belgium; to its west is the Hoboken district, one of the disputed origins of the name of Hoboken, New Jersey.
- DJ Mister Cee of The Beat 102.7 once referred to Alderney as "Al-Dirty", a play on the New Jersey nickname "Dirty Jerz".
- Some dialogue in the game refers to Alderney as "Guernsey" (Guernsey is another neighboring Channel Island to Jersey, just as Alderney is), suggesting that, at some point in GTA IV's development, the state may have carried its GTA 1 name of "New Guernsey"; "Guernsey" may, however, simply be a nickname for the state. James Pegorino mentions both names in the Payback mission cutscene.
- Although Alderney's police officers wear a New Jersey State Police styled uniform rather than the standard LCPD uniform, they reside at LCPD stations, and drive LCPD cruisers, making them part of the same City Police Department. Some officers will announce themselves as being a state trooper while others will announce themselves as the LCPD.
- Alderney is considered a very poor and unneccessary state. In the in-game internet it's stated that not even a terrorist would want to live in Alderney. However, this is a joke, just caused by hatred from someone from Liberty City. In real life, New Jersey is the second richest state.
- It's stated in 'The Episodes from Liberty City' instruction manual that Alderney is a dreary suburbia with industrial wastelands and strip malls.
- In the beta map for GTA IV, Alderney appeared to have a piece of land extending to the north which was removed during development.
- Many of the houses in Alderney (specifically Westdyke) have garage doors that open when approached with a vehicle, however the door will not close after you get out, nor can you save vehicles here.
- Alderney is the single state in whole GTA series to not included an airport or a railway system but it is unknown if the present Alderney in GTA IV is just a part of the state.

Did they find a way to get 3D acceleration working on Intel's GPU drivers? I really would use their products if I didn't need to grab an NVIDIA laptop when I already have a perfectly decent Ivy Bridge (getting ready for Wayland, after all).
Other than that, this looks like a great release with some meaningful improvements.

benchmarking enterprise distributions.
well, i don't know about this, but it feels fundamentally wrong somehow.
Phoronix: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 Beta 2 Benchmarks
Following the release of the first beta for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 back in April we delivered our first RHEL 6.0 benchmarks while putting it up against CentOS 5.4 and Fedora 12. Now that the second beta of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 was released last week, we took the workstation build and have benchmarked it against the latest releases of Ubuntu, CentOS, and openSUSE.
benchmarking enterprise distributions.
well, i don't know about this, but it feels fundamentally wrong somehow.
Once again, a useless comparison from Phoronix. All systems have different kernels, different xorg-server, different DEs etc. You are comparing apples and oranges.
But enough with that. What's more disappointing about this article is that it lacks commentary/conclusion. If you are not willing to investigate why X performs better than Y, you shouldn't bother writing the article. Maybe Y has more background apps than X? Maybe there is a known regression in Y's kernel?
Once again, you (Michael), wrote an article without including any analysis whatsoever, decreasing it's value to "crap".
Phoronix used to be better than this...
Every benchmark he does seems to elicit someone making this sort of comment.
Truth: it would be better (for the long-term benefit of the products he is reviewing) if he would spend many hours/days figuring out exactly what components were directly responsible for quantitative deltas between executing the same code, and what could be done -- either to the application or to the platform -- to make it run faster.
Falsehood: It is the responsibility of a journalist to do this.
When someone gets murdered, journalists don't pull out the fingerprint dust, black lights, and security camera video tapes. They tell the public what was observed to happen. They let the police figure out exactly what the cause of the happenings was. It's not their job to figure out "if the person had ducked exactly 333 msec before they did, the bullet would have missed them."
Truth: People don't run benchmarks on their computer all day, so telling someone that they can expect higher performance with a TTISOD benchmark is not directly applicable to real world experience with actually-useful applications. Furthermore, your mileage will vary dramatically depending on what library calls are made in your particular app; how carefully your app is optimized (does it pay attention to locality, cache coherency, take advantage of SSE, etc), etc. Your experience may also differ on a different architecture or hardware.
Falsehood: There is no value in reporting benchmark results.
At least some of Michael's benchmarks do, in fact, reflect real-world scenarios to some degree. If you have an extremely busy website serving static pages, and you use Apache, that benchmark at least will give you some meaningful data on which system is fastest on Michael's hardware. The Apache benchmark is not very synthetic; it's more of a stress-test of a very widely-used app. By contrast, the more artificial benchmarks have admittedly less significance. If you're using similar hardware, OS version and architecture as Michael, the benchmark really ought to be reproducible, at least within a 10 or 20% margin of error. For some of the tests where the results were dramatically different between distros, this margin of error isn't enough to invalidate, at least, the ordering of the distros. Dramatic differences usually are symptoms of major system design changes (such as from the 2.6.18 kernel all the way up to the modern 2.6.32) or of major performance regressions (TTSIOD slow on CentOS and RHEL? WTF?)
I agree that it would be more useful for software engineers and project contributors to know the how and why of these, but if the performance is really that glaringly bad on a particular distro, the least the article can do is entice a contributor to run the test, reproduce the relatively poor results, then dig in and figure out why.
Don't equate "non-ideal" with "crap". Michael has finite time and is providing something with positive value, no matter how limited it may be (especially when the tests are "close" -- differences of <10% could be due to ANYTHING). That is more than can be said of many people.
Fair enough, "crap" may be too harsh here. Nevertheless, these results that are published are merely "observations", not "benchmarks". Here's what wikipedia say:
Now, he only ran these tests once (he didn't say otherwise), there are no conclusions mentioned, no comparison made etc. What the article does, is merely displaying tabular data. This is not benchmarking.Benchmarking is not easy and often involves several iterative rounds in order to arrive at predictable, useful conclusions.
Must not forget the fact that while beta, debug code is still slowing it all down, therefore though it may be fun to benchmark, the results really have no meaning.... at least not with respect to rhel6.
I think a more interesting focus when looking at betas with their heaping piles of debug code, is to look at FUNCTIONALITY and to count bugs.
@dcc24: PTS runs each benchmark a min of 3 times (IIRC), more if they deviate enough.
The comparison is actually useful for people who are deciding which enterprise OS to use.
Comparing apples to apples as you call it doesn't make much sense. Not many people are going to install CentOS and update the kernel and X.org in the real world. But it's useful to see if there are any performance benefits for CentOS 5.5 users to upgrade to what will be CentOS 6 (or RHEL 6)

Good stuff, even for people on non-NVidia hardware. At least someone seems to care about video acceleration on Linux.
Phoronix: NVIDIA's VDPAU Library Updated For DRI2 Work
NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner has announced the release of libvdpau 0.4. From November of 2008 when VDPAU was introduced to September of 2009, the Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix lived within NVIDIA's binary display driver package...
Good stuff, even for people on non-NVidia hardware. At least someone seems to care about video acceleration on Linux.
does this mean that when vdpau comes to gallium, every single piece of graphics hardware with shader processors and a gallium driver will support vdpau?
and can vdpau be ported to arm for use on arm compatible graphics processors with a gallium driver(if/when that happens)?
this is some exciting stuff. gallium will totally change linux forever. gallium is such a brilliant idea!
I have a quesiton:
It's great that nvidia provides an "open" video acceleration protocol. But is there a problem, that nvidia "owns" the protocol? Say open drivers implement vdpau and then nvidia changes the protocol? Or something like this?
License or not, yes, this is definitely a concern.
Nvidia came up with it, nvidia can change it.
Nvidia can make their hardware only compatible with the "newest" iteration of it that they came up with.
Nvidia scares the crap out of me and I *strongly resist* implementing any of their suggestions into "standard". Nvidia should be forced to comply with standards, not the other way around.
News flash, most standards are from corporations. Intel for example could do the same thing with VA-API. Like any other project out there a change in license can happen anytime. openGL for example was basically SGI's baby,openAL was Creatives, and then there are the crapload of other protocols and API's that were developed over the years such as USB, ATA, etc. In short your concerns are unjustified. Let's put it this way, if Redhat and freedesktop give it the thumbs up then your concerns are pretty much NIH fueled FUD.
Intel and ATI are known to be good for the open source ecosystem. nvidia gives a shit on it. From that perspective it trust Intel and AND way more than nvidia. It's not only a license question.
Don't get me wrong: If the protocol is better than VA API, then take it. I am the last, who says "No, don't implement it, just because it's from nvidia". If it's the best, if there are no concerns regarding the license and if it's open and also no concerns regarding the problem I asked for, then take it.
I'd also be interested in a developers view, if VDPAU is suitable for e.g. AMD or Intel cards, although VDPAU is developed (?) for nvidia cards. And which accel technology they contemplate. And why.
Thx again.
why do so many people have problems with nvidia as a company?
what's bad about them other than being a little controlling and having a closed driver, have they ever done anything against free software?
Four reasons, mainly:
1. they pursue an aggressive lock-in strategy instead of open standards (Physx, TWIMTBP, paying developers to remove features when running on competitors' hardware - see for example Assassin's Creed)
2. their model numbers are intentionally misleading (continuous renames, parts with different specs sold under the same names, marketing madness). Gee, you can buy a GT360 now, which is the same as the 260, which was the same as the 9800, which was a slightly beefed up version of the 8800. Nice! Cookies for anyone who can tell what DX version and what video acceleration level each of those supports without looking it up.
3. because they dealt the death blow to 3dfx
4. because they are indifferent/hostile to the idea of open-source drivers
Otherwise they produce pretty good software and hardware.
