Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles)
November 3rd, 2009Malaysian Food, Recipes, Malaysian Recipes, Penang Food, Recipes148 CommentsChar Kuey Teow Recipe (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles)
Chili Paste:
1 oz. seeded dried red chiles (soak in water)
2 fresh red chilies (seeded)
3 small shallots (peeled and sliced)
1 teaspoon oil
A pinch of salt
Sauce (mix and blend well):
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 dashes white pepper powder
Other Ingredients:
12 shelled prawn (submerge in ice cold water plus 2 tablespoons sugar for 30 minutes)
1 lb. fresh flat rice noodles (completely loosened and no clumps)
1 lb. bloody cockles (extract the cockles by opening its shell)
2 Chinese sausages (sliced diagonally)
A bunch of fresh bean sprouts (rinsed with cold water and drained)
A bunch of Chinese chives (removed about 1-inch of the bottom section and cut into 2-inch lengths)
3 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
Step-by-Step Picture Guide of Making Char Kuey Teow (炒粿條/Penang Fried Flat Noodles):
Grind all the ingredients of the chili paste using a mini food processor until fine. Heat up a wok with 1 teaspoon oil and stir-fry the chili paste until aromatic. Dish out and set aside.
Clean the wok thoroughly and heat it over high flame until it starts to smoke. Add 2 tablespoons oil/lard into the wok and add half the portion of chopped garlic into the wok and do a quick stir.
Transfer six (6) prawn out of water and half the sausage slices into the wok. Make a few quick stirs with the spatula until the prawn starts to change color and you smell the aroma of the Chinese sausage.
Add half the bean sprouts into the wok.
Immediately follow by 8 oz. or half portion of the flat noodles.
Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of the sauce into the wok and stir vigorously to blend well. Using the spatula, push the noodles to one side, and add a little oil on the empty area and crack an egg on it. Use the spatula to break the egg yolk and stir to blend with the egg white. Flip the noodles and cover the egg, and wait for about 15 seconds.
Add about 1/2 tablespoon of chili paste (if you like it spicy, add more) and some cockle clams into the wok.
Continue to stir-fry and make sure the egg is cooked through. Add chives, do a couple of quick stirs, dish out and serve immediately.
Cook's Note:
Repeat the same and make another serving of Char Kuey Teow using the remaining ingredients. Please take note of the proper sequence of the cooking process. This is how it's done by Char Kuey Teow hawkers in Penang, an art that I love watching since I was a child. Also, a great plate of authentic Penang Char Kuey Teow should be medium brown in color. It shouldn't be too dark with too much dark soy sauce.

Firstly, I absolutely LOVE your website. It has all of the dishes that I loved in Asia. Secondly, Char Kuey Teow is my home comfort from Malaysia and can't wait to try and make it!!
I'll definitely be back very soon!S
http://notjustmedical.wordpress.com79Thank you ! CKT from home -tried it and LOVED it.
80Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have tried making CKT at home a few times. It comes out pretty OK but still missing something, like you say, the wok hei. Did you cook this at home? I think that it's not possible to cook as delicious as the hawker stalls because of this missing wok hei. How do you compensate for this? What kind of wok do you use? I guess you use gas stove instead of electric? Just wondering. Thanks for sharing! Love your blog!
81you'll probably need a cast iron wok to retain the heat, especially when using electric stoves.
95Thumbs up for this recipe – one of my make at home favorites on our cast iron wok – thanks so much for this insight. It will always be difficult to get the hawker/ restaurant wok hei unless one is kitted out with the high pressure burner – though you can still get good results at home but it has to be gas on full blast. A conventional home gas burner does about 3000 BTU (heat units) some not even that. Looking at the hawker setups they probably do 20,000-40,000 BTU and I know Restaraunt burners do 60,000-90,000 BTU and higher – what a gas bill. We have a Rambo burner ($240) that does 20,000 BTU but we cook outside.
ive watched how the made it hawker style in penang..exactly like yours..
and i believe urs tasted the same :)
man now im hungry!!!!char kuey teow penang style is the best!! and correct, i wonder y they're not famous like pad thai..
now i want char kuey teow..hope i can somehow try it here in germany…first need to find the ingredients!!
83Finally I got my Chow Kuey Teow right by following your receipe,thankyou. To John who wants to know how to soften the flat noodles. I put it in the microwave oven for two minutes to soften it. I usually buy a couple of flat noodles and leave them in my fridge for a week and they come out good after warming in the microwave oven.
By the way, I do not receive your receipes anymore. I look forward to your new receipes because they are so good! I am ready to cook something for Chinese New Year from your receipes. A very Happy and Healthy Chinese New Year to you and your crew.
Dorothy84Our microwave is busted so i left the chilled noodles on top of our car hood for 30minutes or so in the afternoon. Works for me. Made this today but i adjusted the soy sauce mixture to double of every measure except the soy sauce
Wah RM!… HOU KHENG ah…!!…. Been craving for CKT, now this post makes me crave for it even more…… :p Have to go find flat noodles and try some wok hei.. just hoping that I will the trigger the smoke alarm.. mISS Penang food so bad.. Thank you so much !!!!!!
85*Correction* I will NOT trigger the alarm… sorry..
86this title caught my attention. Cha Kuey Teow which means fried noodles in Teochew hehe
87Thanks for posting this recipe! I'm a big fan of RasaMalaysia website. I'm an Indonesian but I grew up in Singapore and CharKueyTeow is definitely one of my fave dishes. Now I can try and cook this at home.
88Thank you very much for this char kwey teow recipe. I have tried many versions, but for me, this one beats them all. The method is so uncomplicated. Prepared it for lunch yesterday….it was a success.
89It's one of the best Malaysian favorites to introduce to our foreign friends
90wow,uniknya malaysia!!!
92looks so good! was just wondering…for the soy sauce, is it kicap pekat or can i use the usual kicap manis/masin…eg. kicap cap habhal type? can't wait to try it out!
96Hi, I love to eat Char Kuey Teow and I really want to have a go at your recipe. I have a few questions regarding some of the ingredients: is it Malaysian soy sauce/dark soy sauce? I don't think I've come across it in london…can I use indonesian kecap manis instead or is that the same thing? Thanks!
98Hi, me again! I went looking for malaysian dark soy sauce but was unable to find it so will use kecap manis instead – would you suggest to adjust any of the other flavourings to make it less sweeter and more smokier? This recipe also requires soy sauce – is that regular (chinese?) soy sauce? Thanks!
100Cooked it according to your steps, what can I say? It's delicious! Technique is indeed the key, thank you, Bee for sharing. To those of you who haven't try it, this is very worth trying and you won't be disappointed for sure!
102i saw somewhere on a cooking show before that restaurants pan fry the kuey teow with some oil to brown it slightly before frying it. This supposedly adds more flavor to it. But i think it was a recipe for "wat tan hor". Can that be applied to char kuey teow as well? I tried pan frying the kuey teow and the kuey teow stuck together into clumps.
103Street food is the yummiest, not to mention a great way to experience a country's culture. I wish I had a wok to try out this recipe!
104hiya, i wonder if you could please tell me how to make the chili paste pls? thank you in advanced!!!
105Hi Bee
Love your recipes. A big Thank you from Australia.
Our whole family LOVES Char Kwey Teow so it is terrific to finally see your recipe. Thanks.
Do you or any readers have tips for a good Malaysian restaurant in the northern LA area? My husband visits there a few times a year and has yet to locate one. He's missing his Laksa and CKT. :-)
Thanks again
Beth106That is one marvelous dish! So flavorful and beautiful. A combination of ingredients that is impossible to resist.
107Good point about why isn't char koay teow as popular as pad thai. I'm surprised people know more about Thai food than Malaysian food since Malaya was a British colony, so the West was more exposed to Malaysian culture than Thai. I guess since Thailand tourism exploded in the last 20 years is probably the reason Thai food is more well known now.
But it's hard to replicate the char koay teow in Penang. Just ask Singapore…
108I have been following your recipes they work wonderfully. It would be great if the number of serving is provided.
110I have searched everywhere for "the perfect" way to make Char Kway Teow, and this turned out perfectly. I've tried to make Char Kway Teow, like 15 times before and they turned out horribly. Following this recipe made a most amazing home cooked Char Kway Teow.
After cooking it several times I began experimenting with non traditional additions. Being portugeuse I introduced some finely chopped linguica and that added a very interesting kick. Thank so much for sharing this recipe!
112hello there
I am just wondering what sort of wok do you use?
Yvonne114I dont know how to thank you for that amazing recipes , love you all my heart, i beg you for one more thing if you know of corse ,some penang fried rice recipes, thank you again
European addicted to asian food, good food and that here is definitely good
115Hi Bee and first thanksfor your super-duper website I just found.
Having studied at Penang (USM) for semester, me and my morrocan flatmate fell totally in love with Char Keow Teow ! I think we ate that every 2 days minimum! Of course I generally love the food in Malaysia, the Char Keow Teow remains my all time favorite.
Saddly, there's 1 malay restaurant in PAris, that doesn't do my favorite stuff, and the Char Keow Teow in particular.I tried to cook it a couple of times but it never tastes right. Just ok, but never close to the real thing.
I'll practice with your recipe, and will go on dreaming about Malaysian Food ! (I miss Malaysia sooo much…)
116I love this receipe. Its so easy and most important its so yummy. My kids love it. I am so glad that this receipe has been shared with us. Thanks. A few query indeed. Why sweet dark sauce is not used in this receipe instead its using sugar? Aside, Do I have to maintain high heat on wok throughout the cooking or I can reduce heat once Kuay Teow is in the wok. I would also like to know how many portion is this quantity of 1lb kuay Teow cater for.
117I have only tried to make Char Kuey Teow once and it was disasterous! lol I had it in a restaurant in San Francisco but it seemed different than your recipe. But my question is: is dark soy the same as kecap manis or do I need something different? Thanks. I am determined to learn as much as I can about Malaysian cooking as I can and want to make this again. Thanks
119The best CKT I had in Penang street stall was inside some warehouse in Betu Ferringhi in some back street. Do you know it Bee? Another secret the stall shared with us is to make only one portion at a time. It was a mighty long wait cause there were 7 of us but so worth it. Now, we can cook it with your recipe, yay, thx. Glad you mentioned hot wok, my mom would have hers screaming hot with quite a lot of oil. I've not made this, kinda intimidating but I'm going to try this.
120Hi Bee,
I wash the kuey theow, and it sticks. Shoud I not wash it? Otherwise the char kuey theow tastes good. Thanks for posting the recipe.
122AFter reading Grace Yong's books about Breath of the Wok and Stir-frying to the Sky's edge, I tried her special wok seasoning makeover technique five times and finally got 'wok hei' in jsut about everything cooked in my wok. I think what's great is everyone can achieve 'wok-hei' cooking at home.
124Hi, Nice recipe. I first tasted Char Kueh Teow in Singapore hawker stalls. Couldn't get enough of it but have also had a number of variations. Some with beef and green capsicum, some with chicken and prawn. All different but still very tasty.
I have also been cooking CKT at home since I was taught it by a hawker stall owner in Penang following the Commonwealth games in KL in '98, and I find it curious that the order they cooked it, and which I follow is not the same as yours, although you say it is important.
The spices and garlic were first in the wok, then the prawns and other fishy things (like cockles or squid tubes) and chinese sausage then the noodles, and then the egg and kecap manis. Yes, KM was used in the recipe and yes, it made it sweet, but I quite like that).The sprouts were always added last, and I use the tops of spring onions as the green instead of chives. Just a different flavour but they all taste wonderful in my opinion.125Thanks for this recipe! Being an oversea student, I've never thought I'll be able to eat this out of Malaysia let alone cooking it by myself! Though I didn't manage to get Chinese sausages or cockles, it still tastes nice with bean sprout, eggs and prawns! Love it!
127Looks good, I've tried other recipes with success but I'm going to give yours a go tonight.I lived in Penang (Butterworth to be precise) for 2 years and fell in love with the tucker. Unfortunately even in Aus to get anything authentic Malaysian you more often than not need to make it yourself. Have you tried it with fried belachan in the paste?

OMG.. I love your website a lot, the instructions are very clear, thank you so much for sharing this recipe and other mouth watering recipes
131The best Char Kway Teow comes from goggle man on Lorong Selamat.
132Pingback:Char kuey teow, I miss you « fifty degrees of separation
Excellent recipe. Thank You for sharing. The dish came out really good. This is one of my favorite dishes.
I used some local squid instead of the cockles.135Made this for dinner! My boyfriend and I both think it tastes really close to what we have back home! It's even better than Chinese restaurant ones! Thanks for this :) it tastes like home, just that it's in London!
136I reside in Sydney and a restaurant chain here serves PAD THAI on their menu. The only problem is, their so-called PAD THAI is obviously CHAR KUEY TEOW and NOT PAD THAT! (I guess they did this switch because it'a a lot easier for Aussies to pronounce pad thai over char kwey teow. Lol) They are clearly miseducating the Aussies, but admittedly, they do make a very yummy and close to authentic char kwey teow. It even has that distinct wok hei flavor. :D

Char Kway Teow is one of my all time favorites. Exactly how long does it take to cook it? I'm kind of a beginner when it comes to dishes like these, so…

Hai thanks for your receipe.can i use hard anodised wok and also soy sause means light soya sause?
tks144Can we substitute the dark soy with thick dark soy (caramel)? I bought a bottle back from Malaysia. How would I adjust the recipe using thick dark soy? I assume the Chinese brand thick dark soy is different than the kecap manis which is more sweeter.

Disclosures of conflicts of interest in psychiatric review articles. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23364114 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
To characterize disclosures of conflicts of interest in review articles in psychiatry, we identified 285 reviews from 10 high-impact journals in psychiatry and 2 in general medicine. Disclosures were reliably coded as biotechnology/pharmaceutical/other material interests, nonprofit/government, communication companies, or other. The authors in both types of journals frequently reported industry ties. However, the reviews in the psychiatric journals were significantly less likely to include industry-related disclosures (32% of the reviews; 18% of the authors) compared with the general medical journals (64% of the articles; 40% of the authors). The most common types of industry-related disclosures were for consulting, research support, and speaking fees. Disclosures seemed to be of limited utility in helping readers assess possible biases because the nature and the extent of the relationships being disclosed were often unclear. Efforts to screen out authors with significant financial relationships pertaining to the topic under review may be more effective than are disclosures in protecting the integrity of the medical literature. |

Photography with Accents of Light
Gull Cottage is a collection of images of seabirds accented with neon. Whoa and Final Approach were the first two completed. There are 15 images slated so far for the Gull Cottage series. While "Whoa" debuted in November of 2012, "Final Approach" joined the exhibit tour at Towns-Burr Gallery (Burbank,CA) this past August. They were so well received the gallery owners, Connie and Bruce, requested to extend their stay. And that they did.

My PCIP insurance is no longer being offered after January 2014 and my wife's Anthem Blue Cross insurance program costing $280/mo. is no longer being offered and a new policy can be purchased for $497/mo. My insurance thru Anthem or the CA exchange will cost me $757/mo. For me the ACA is working against me. The only people that the ACA will help is people with lower incomes if the decide to sign up and the insurance companies. The loser are people like myself that worked hard for their money and will pay higher taxes in the long run.
Sentiment: Hold
The run-up will before December. If the drug is that good and the people in-the-know, know the trials are going well this price should hold. There are a lot of well-named funds holding this stock. It's a gamble but the data looks very promising.
Sentiment: Buy

Got Bed Bugs? Bedbugger Forums » Bed bug pest control firms (PCOs), Bed bug k9s, etc.
Experince with bedbug dog Kody in Toronto
(9 posts)-
Anyone use Kody and Mike and what was your take??
Hi - I've used M & K many times (7 at home and 4 at work). I feel like I've put his kids through college by now!
Had bbs at my workplace, bldg decided to do their own treatment which didn't work. I eventually persuaded them (after 7 months) to get M & K in, sure enough the bbs were in my chair at work. Mike did a full treatment, brought K back 6 weeks later = all clear, 2nd treatment was done by Mike as a precaution. I was still getting 'bites' so we've had Kody back 3 times since then and still get all clears at work. Hoping it's just my skin (my derm says I have folliculitis and old bite flare ups) fingers crossed it gets better but it's taking a loooooong time though.
FYI - they never found bbs at my apt.
I think they're a great resource,the dogs are accurate up to 95% from what I've read. Only one time did Kody give a false negative at my apt, way back in March 08 and Mike even said he was not happy with that inspection so he brought back his TWO dogs later and both gave the all clear then!
A little confused. Dis you mean Kody gave a false positive as you state a little further down in your post that they were never in your apt.
Hi - yes, it was a false positive. I had bbs from an apt in sept 07 and had moved in Dec 07. I had continued to get bites though after I moved so I brought mike and kody out to my new apt. They found nothing the first 2 times they came in jan and feb 08. then in mar 08 kody hit on my bed. Mike and me took the mattress and boxspring off and had kody sniff again: he alerted to the flat metal side. My bedframe is supersimple, two flat metal bars which snap together, nothing else. Like long skinny skiis. So we're both on our knees staring at this spotless metal bar. Nothing, absolutely nothing was there. He checked the other metal bar, nothing.
As I said Mike swore there were no bugs at all. A few weeks later he brought back both his dogs and they both all-cleared.
By the way, I was getting bitten at work but my workplace didn't call kody in until JULY! I have since then had several all clears at home and at work (after Mike treated my workspace). Still have 'bites' showing up but the derm says its folliculitis and old bite flaring.
Summary: yes Kody had a false positive. I'll give Mike kudos for doing a visual to 'confirm' and admitting that kody was wrong that time. It happens.
I'm bumping this back up because I Have Mike and Kody coming in this week, thanks to excellent recommendations on here.
I'd also like to share their recent appearance on Daily Planet, for those interested who can't find it.
It's just a few minutes in. I'll report back how it goes, but I already feel better knowing I'll have a better handle on whether we have bed bugs or not, and how severe, etc. etc. etc.
Emmm, please please please give us the updates on your visit with M & K, thanks!
Oh! I had Mike and Kody in, and Kody pinpointed two spots: my bed and my roommate's couch. My roommate didn't declutter enough really, but Mike was able to get Kody around her bed to rule it out. He then suggested Orkin to me, and gave me the direct apartment handling line contact.
What was impressive to me was he said he'd speak to Orkin for me as well to let them know about his findings. Not only did he absolutely do that, but he literally did the minute he left my apartment. And then called her back while I was on the phone with her to relay more information.
I'd like to have them in again when all is said and done to hopefully give us the all clear. It was worth the price in the first place, because a visual inspection didn't find anything, and when Orkin was in treating, they had a hard time finding anything except a casing on another couch. If Kody hadn't come in and identified the problem as early as he did, who knows how long we'd have waited for treatment. I was getting bitten only every 8-9 days.
Does anyone know if Mike and Kody do apt. buildings and what the cost would be would it be by the hour or unit numbers. I am trying to convince someone I know that has them to get their landlord to do the whole building or at least the units above beside and below them.
Why don't you email him and ask on the purity pest control website? Mike's plenty forthcoming with information.
I don't know what he'd charge in different situations. I paid $250 for my apartment, period.

Dangerous Therapy
Chicago magazine examines the psychiatric treatment that led to a $10.6 million settlement between a patient and a psychiatrist. Pat Burgus, treated for multiple personality disorder, believed she had 300 personalities, ate human flesh and molested her two sons. She was convinced her doctor created these memories and sued.

Dangerous Memories
Under hypnosis by her therapist, Kathleen Sullivan--the daughter of a rich North Shore family--suddenly remembered that she had been the victim of childhood sexual abuse by her older brother. The revelation sparked a nasty legal battle when her parents sued the therapist, claiming he had planted the idea. After a dramatic trial last spring, a mystery remains; what, if anything, happened years ago to spawn this family tragedy?

The Westword looks into the controversial practices of the "self-empowerment" organization Landmark Education Corporation and its historical ties to cult-like EST and EST founder Werner Hans Erhard. Erhard, the charasmatic self-help guru of the 1970s-80s, fled the country to avoid tax evasion charges and allegations of incest. (April 18, 1996)

I have been staying in this 4-star hotel with 204 rooms for several days in April 2010. I had a standard room, not very big as size (around 17-18 m2), but air-conditioned, clean, cozy and with free cable Internet access. For the price of 79 EUR per night was included also a very good self-service breakfast with great choice of food (the breakfast is Monday-Friday 6 am to 10 am, Saturday, Sunday and holidays - 7 am to 10 am) -you could eat there for several days in a row and not eat the same food twice! The hotel is really highly secure - one's key card will only bring the elevator to his/her own floor. The staff is very kind and always eager to help. Another great advantage of the hotel is its superb central location - next to the city centre, the beautiful old city, in a walking distance also to the railrway station. There are only two things that I didn't like - the underground parking is quite small and the main door of the hotel wing corridor where I was staying was very noisy and you could hear all the people when opening/closing it. No matter these minor issues I would definitely recommend CityHotel Ljubljana as a great choice for hotel when visiting the capital of Slovenia!
Unique Quality: Reasonable price, good quality, great location
When we looked into accomodation before going to Ljubljana, we had a few concerns. The hotels fitted into one of 3 categories for us:
Far too expensive
Too far away from the city centre
Close and cheap but with problems
This hotel came into the latter catergory, as it was affordable and central but has undergone a refurbishment programme that is not yet finished and we heard builders can start work quite early in the morning.
We liked the hotel in general. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was reasonable (although my tastes are for the unusual so I was particularly pleased) but they also had cereal, toast and continental.
The location was very convenient, although the entrance is not on the street of the address at the moment as there is a temporary entrance on the next street down.
The room was fine. We had to move rooms on arrival as we ordered smoking and they didn't realise. In the new room there was a problem with the sound on the TV (you had to stick something in the headphone socket to make the sound come out) and in the morning could smell other people smoking (we suspect through the air con). However, we could not hear the noise as we were quite high up whereas the non-smoking floors would be more affected by the noise.
There were benefits we didn't take advantage of like free bike hire and free stamps. There were lockers to keep your baggage in during the day.
All in all, not a bad cheap hotel and all the better if you're using it as a kick off point to seethe sights as opposed to spending lots of time in the room.
Unique Quality: Free bike hire, stamps and city map, wireless internet access.
Directions: Not on Dalmatinova, next street down.
This is actually called the City Hotel now.
My stay here was pleasant. The rooms are not overly large, but then again, for 60 Euros, near high season for a single, it was reasonably priced.
It was unfortunate that they were doing construction during my stay, but the staff here went quite a length to try and minimize the impact on their guests. The staff was also quite pleasant and worked with you rather than not giving a damn. They worked to find me another room when I wanted to stay an extra night as well as giving some advice on the area.
Their breakfast was quite good with some tasty things from all over.
Really a pleasant stay and I'd return or recommend it to friends when in Ljubljana.
Unique Quality: Very close to the old town and very close to the train/bus station. No really great views to speak of, but quite a good location.
The City Hotel is situated just 5 min walk from the train and bus
station and a 10 min walk to the Old Town.
The rooms are very neat and tidy, excellent bathroom, flat screen Tv.
Towels and bedding changed everyday, and even a fresh bottle of complimentary
water left each morning by the maid.
A information pack about the town and trips etc is in the room and the
staff at the desk extremly helpfull if you ask anything.
Breakfast is free and is a huge buffet in the restaurant, the food was
great. I paid £40 a night for a room and have nothing but praise for the
hotel and staff.
City Hotel Ljubljana
Dalmatinova 15
1000 Ljubljana
Directions: 5 Min walk from train station
This Hotel has a new name and a new image. The noisy Nightclub has gone and all the rooms have been totally refurbished. Staff were friendly and helpfull. It represents good value for a centrally locted Hotel!
I usually don't stay in business class hotels but this one was very accommodating for me and my travel companion.
We arrived in Ljubljana at 5am and wanted to stay one night. They let us into the room at 5am and charged us only for the next evening even though we got essentially 2 sleeps there.
The location is great, only 3-4 minute walk to the old town/center. Generous buffet breakfast too.
If the new hostel is full I would stay here again rather than the dreary Park hotel.
Unique Quality: Great buffet breakfast - much larger selection than most hotels
Very good location
The best asset of this hotel is the fact that it's near the station - and I remember choosing it only because of its location (I had an early morning train ride planned). It's a 3 stars.
Unique Quality: Nothing special or fancy: it's your usual middle-of-the-road hotel: clean, correct and anonymous. There's a large restaurant area, too - and a bar.
Directions: straight down from the station. A couple of blocks if i remember correctly - which means 2 minutes

Photographer's Note
This arch is near the White Tank Campground in Joshua Tree National Park, California.
I liked the way the bolder sits inside the arch from this angle.
The Raw image was taken with a polarizer. By pre-processing in Adobe Camera Raw, I was able to bring up a fair bit of detail and some interesting color from the shadows. I did over-do the polarizer as the sky is almost black in the upper left corner.
Joshua Tree NP is worth the trip out to the desert if you make to southern California. There are trails that sneak into the most amazing and strange landscapes.

Newer version is much better.
Newer version is much better.
The older version is more subtle than the new one. It can be worn with other scents, while the new version has more power. I think I prefer the older scent.
Franki [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Older version goes with Amouage. Newer version dominates the smell. Unless you really like the perfume of the new version, you would be sometimes frustrated.
I have both. I´ve still got half ab ottle of the old one left and even though the new version still has a distinct phero smell it´s nowhere near as bad as the old version. The added `scent´ which isn´t great seems to help a little.
I have found that for myself at least, mixing AE directly with perfume doesn´t work as well anyway. I put the AE on somewhere and apply my fragrance a bit later.
BTW I though the old version is not available anymore or is it???
CJ, yeah it is (i think!)
Go with what the Doc and Franki said

Why do people follow movie star fashion? It is indeed ironic when people come up with the funniest answers to justify this habit. The most common answer is that people want to be prepared and to avoid mistakes that the celebrities have committed on the red carpet. Well, would you be looking at celebrities walking on the red carpet for tips if you were to be invited to the red carpet at next Oscars?
Even if you were, do you think anybody will be interested in snapping you and your fashion trends? Well, when you have competition from the likes of Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone and Brad Pitt, there is absolutely no doubt that you will be the show stealer, right? Let us face it-we follow current celeb trends primarily to satisfy our sense of gossip and outrage.
We like discussing about these people, bitching about them and saying stuff that we otherwise would not speak about fellow human beings. In most cases, the reactions we show are based on jealousy and envy. We feel that the person is no different than us and therefore must have resorted to some form of trickery or skullduggery to reach the top. Of course, the fact that our personality hardly matches 1/10th of Brad Pitt's personality is a completely different issue. This is the reason why celebrities on the red carpet get maximum criticism.
Well, they too have got used to the whole affair. They have realized that the best way to stay in news is to do something that will make the entire country talk about them. Whether it happens to be something good or something bad is irrelevant. At the end of the day, celebrities follow the rule-no news is bad news. As long as they are in the news, they are happy with whatever is said about them.

[LEXINGTON, Ky.] – Advances in medical science have extended life yet present humanity with a new set of challenges - diseases of old age. In addition, increasingly sedentary lifestyles add another layer of "modern" ailments to the mix, such as metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes. The Life Sciences session at GLIMPSE 2020, the 29th Annual Alltech International Symposium in Lexington, Ky., USA, from May 19-22, will explore how lifestyle changes, genomics, diagnostics and nutrition can be merged to better manage and prevent the diseases of the modern era.
"We will have to take radical steps in the next decade if we hope to avoid twin pandemics: Alzheimer's disease and Type 2 diabetes," said Dr. Ronan Power, vice president of Life Sciences at Alltech and chairperson of the Life Sciences session at the 2013 Alltech Symposium. "A great deal of prevention can be achieved by convincing at-risk individuals to alter their behavior, for example, through diet and exercise. However, it's likely that this approach will, at best, be only moderately effective so we have to look at the other tools we have at our disposal - early diagnosis and warning as well as direct biological intervention to counter the effects of poor lifestyle habits. Alltech's 2013 Symposium will provide a forum for discussing these challenges with colleagues and leading experts."
New in 2013, Alltech International Symposium delegates will have the opportunity to select breakout session tracks. These tracks, as opposed to traditional species or subject breakouts, will offer attendees a more holistic experience in which they take part in discussions ranging from algae and agriculture's carbon footprint to nutrition and marketing.
The Life Sciences track includes the following topics:
Registration for Alltech's 29th Annual International Symposium is open now and available for an early discount price of $599 until April 15 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Standard registration after April 15 will be $850. Two paid registrations from a single company or organization will receive a third registration free of charge. Delegates who are members of ARPAS and AAVSB can also earn CEUs.
Attendees are encouraged to register early as space is limited. Of the nearly 3,000 international delegates who attended the 2012 Alltech International Symposium, 97 percent indicated that they plan to attend again.

Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of interacting with machines in a more natural way than we currently do. Most people will agree machines are difficult sometimes.
Wouldn't it be great if a computer could understand what we want, instead of us having to explain our desires to a computer (in the way the computer wants it)?
In the Semantic Web vision, automated agents browse the Web for us—much like we do it ourselves these days. However, there is still a long way to go…
Yet, I believe things are heading in the right direction, and I want to be part of it.
This is why I'm pursuing a PhD degree at Multimedia Lab, a research group of iMinds and Ghent University. My interests include the Semantic Web, hypermedia APIs, Web services, adaptive hypermedia, and more. If you're still reading, we should talk.
If you're into REST, JavaScript, effective communication or if you're just curious, check out my latest blog posts:
- The lie of the API
- When you ask for an API, you will get one, even though you never needed it.
- Research is teamwork
- No research ever happens in isolation: collaboration drives us all.
- Can I SPARQL your endpoint?
- Perhaps the model in which a server does all the work, doesn't work.
To see what I'm working on at Multimedia Lab, take a look at my projects:
- RESTdesc
- Describe your hypermedia APIs so that automated agents can use them.
- Free Your Metadata
- Open up your precious metadata to the Web.
- Reasoning on the Web
- Discover Semantic Web reasoning with open source projects and documentation.

Leading consumer markets and retail companies in Central and Eastern Europe are concerned that the risk of data theft is on the increase.
A recent survey conducted by KPMG across 44 of the leading consumer markets and retail companies operating in nine countries in Central and Eastern Europe indicates the following:
• The vast majority of respondents perceive data theft as a significant risk to their business. Furthermore, more than half of the respondents believe that the risk of data theft will increase over the next three years;
• Most respondents do not have formal processes to assess the risks of data theft in their organisations. Many respondents are also not satisfied with the measures they have in place to mitigate the risk of data theft;
• Employees are generally seen as the most likely perpetrators of data theft, with mid-level management posing the greatest perceived risk;
• The data perceived to be most at risk are data related to strategy and planning;
• The use of removable media such as USB sticks is recognised as a significant risk by most respondents, yet few indicated that they had measures in place to deal with this threat.
Jimmy Helm, Head of Forensic for KPMG in Central and Eastern Europe, comments:
"The survey results reflect that companies recognise that their employees present the highest risk as perpetrators of data theft as they inevitably have access to sensitive company data in the normal course of business. Our recent investigations for clients have indicated that this risk is increased by the pressures that the turbulent economic situation in the CEE region place on the employee, who finds his employment more and more under threat, and who is more willing than ever before to use this information for financial reward, or to even secure his employment with the competition."
Quentin Crossley, Partner, Risk Consulting in KPMG in Slovakia comments:
"Regular risk assessment is critical and should be extended to include reviews of the implementation of new countermeasures against data theft and improvements to existing countermeasures as the risks evolve. Proactive analysis of a wide range of systems and data sources within the organisation in order to identify and respond to actual occurrences in a timely manner is also a very important part of the efforts to combat data theft."
Rudolf Sedmina, Head of IT Risk Advisory Services in KPMG in Slovakia comments: "Despite the consistent perception that data theft poses a high risk, relatively few companies have performed a robust risk review of their data, categorised their data according to confidentiality and sensitivity or imposed appropriate controls over user access to that data.
"Of particular concern is the fact that most companies have failed to implement appropriate countermeasures against the threat posed by removable media."

New Delhi-based workshop consultant Anjinie Goel still wonders what she was thinking when a year ago, she encouraged her son, Kushagra, to watch television. The active six-year-old was made to watch TV in an effort to make him sit still. It was a tired parent`s cop out ploy, admits Goel candidly, but it came at a heavy price. "For 20 days, Kushagra became obsessed with television. He began to lose focus while performing tasks, and grew inattentive. I had to finally pull the cable wire and pretend it was burnt, to get him to stop watching TV," says the 37-year-old. Kushagra now watches just an hour of television each day.
Dr Caroline Fitzpatrick, a researcher at the University of Montreal, would approve.
Together with researchers Linda Pagani and Tracie Barnett, Fitzpatrick has co-authored a recent study that finds that excessive television viewing in early childhood leads to decreased muscular fitness by class 2, and increased waist circumference by class 4.
The study looked at 1,314 kids between two-and-a-half years to four years in Quebec, Canada, who watched about nine hours of television each week. These children were tracked for seven years. The study found that a child`s waist grew by .042 cm (little less than half a millimeter) for every hour of TV watched. The four-year-olds who watched 18 hours of television each week gained an extra 0.3 inches, on their waist by the time they turned 10. Since the risk for obesity can be tracked to middle childhood, a surplus of weight by class 4 represents an important health concern, says Fitzpatrick.
A 2011 Associated Chambers of Commerce study among 2,000 kids in 11 Indian cities revealed that 52 per cent had a TV set in their own rooms. Chandigarh topped the pile, with 88 per cent kids watching five to seven hours of TV a day.
No jumping jack
Watching more television in early childhood is also associated with an increased probability of scoring in the bottom five per cent in the standing long jump test, commonly used to measure a child`s lower body strength. Each added hour of television made kids perform about .36 centimeters worse on a standing long jump.
On a Monday morning at the JBCN International School in Borivli, nearly 20 students of Class 2 are undergoing warm-up exercises with their gym instructor, Bhaskar Naidu.
Across the hall, six-foot long floor mats lie next to each other. Soon, the kids will be made to perform standing long jumps, to test their explosive leg strength, which, says the study, "contributes to the performance of movements that require speed and power." Naidu draws a chalk line, asking the second graders to jump across it. Some just about achieve it, others jump further. Proud, Naidu smiles.
Based on data compiled by sports management outfit Edusports, a class 2 student should be able to perform a long jump of at least 1.3 m (4.2 feet, approximately). The Bengalurubased company set up in 2009 teaches gross motor, athletic and sports skills to over 1.6 lakh students from KG to Class 10, in 225 schools across 70 Indian cities. Children are graded on exercises that test aerobic and anaerobic capacity, upper body and lower body strength, and flexibility. A Class 2 student is also taught to dribble and throw a ball, hop, turn and twist, balance on one leg, and have accurate handeye coordination, through various games and play equipment. The requirements are based on guidelines set by the US-based National Association for Sports and Physical Education.
"In the past three years, we have tracked each student`s progress, and based on the data, created norms for each age," says founder Saumil Majumdar. "The fault doesn`t lie with television alone," says Majumdar. "What are we doing to ensure that children have safe play spaces? The more they play, the more easily they will develop age-appropriate skills and muscle strength."
No one can eat just one
Dr Paresh Desai, a consulting paediatrician with Saifee and Bhatia hospitals, Mumbai, doesn`t let TV off the hook as easily as Majumdar does.
What the kids watch has as much impact on their health, says Desai, citing examples of Bollywood stars that endorse chips and colas. "It`s not just junk food, but a junk lifestyle," says Desai, several of whose patients are victims of childhood obesity. "Unhealthy snacks are stacked up in homes, kids are encouraged to eat in front of the television, and worse, fed by an adult," says Desai.
Yet, says JBCN International principal Debika Chatterji, it`s not easy to control how much time a child spends in front of the TV. "The most we can do at school is ensure playtime," she reasons.
Fitzpatrick however, is clear that TV viewing time needs to be cut down, before any improvement can be seen among kids. "We saw that children who watched TV didn`t have too much time for physical activity. If they are not developing between two-and-a-half and four years, it affects their growth, as there is continuity in that behaviour at a later age.
The waist circumference decreased, when children decreased their TV viewing," she says.
While the recommended TV viewing time is one hour for kids aged two and above, Fitzpatrick advises parents to replace TV time with not just play, but also mind games like puzzles.
The problem in numbers
Less than 40% Indian students possess age-appropriate skills (like jumping 1.3m at age 7) 50% Indian students don`t have age-appropriate BMI (measure of body fat based on an individual`s weight and height) In the Quebec study, a child`s waist grew by .042 CM for every hour of TV watched.

What can one say about this amazing gem I found at Monster Melodies in Paris. It's my favorite Entombed track off of my all-time favorite Entombed album. While I understand that purists may disagree, no matter how amazing the first two Entombed albums are (especially Left Hand Path), the death n' roll style makes Wolverine Blues one of the best heavy metal albums of all time (who gives a crap if it wasn't pure death metal). The perfect melding of Motörhead, Black Sabbath, and Venom with that incredible chainsaw guitar sound. The "Out of Hand" single also has my two favorite covers by Entombed: a really down-tuned ultra-heavy rendition of Kiss' "God of Thunder" and a very Swedish death-metal version of Repulsion's "Black Breath." I also think this is a stellar cover courtesy of drummer Nicke Andersson, who started jumping away from cliche'd death metal album covers and began creating more iconic designs (something he would continue to do for the Hellacopters and now Death Breath). Here it is in ten minutes of head-crushing heaviness: the birth of death n' roll.

I have officially started on book #2. Without giving away any details, one of the main characters in the book is everyone's favorite mischief maker and all around swinging guy, Satan. The idea for the book actually came to me one morning while listening to "Up Jumped the Devil" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Those pounding piano chords, Cave's voice growling at that low register, the overall vibe of the dark one lurking mischievously up the street — the plot of the book laid itself out instantly in my head.
On the rare occasions when I do finally plop my ass in the chair to tap away at the keyboard, I always listen to music. Some folks find this odd as they usually require peace and quiet when writing. But I prefer to have music blaring, preferably something that gets me in the mood of the story. When I wrote The Love Book, I listened to really heavy Doom: Black Sabbath, Cathedral, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, St. Vitus, Grand Magus, Candlemass, Trouble. The music fit the dark stories I was firing out.

Controllers have made an absolute pledge to safety. In a world where there are often no clear-cut answers and where principles are often diluted, adherence to safety must remain uncorrupted and unconditional. Members of the American flying public believe that truism each and every time they board an airplane. They trust that as far as safety is concerned, there will be no compromises and no second measures.
Many controllers voted for NATCA representation because they were convinced that "one voice" in Washington, D.C., was the best way to convey concerns about aviation safety to the public and was also the best way to effect prompt and positive action on those concerns. The National Safety Committee does not intend to let those air traffic controllers, or the American flying public, down. That is the impetus behind the existence of this Committee. .....................................................................................................................................................................................
The National Safety Committee (NSC) is made up of one representative from each of the ten NATCA regions, a Chairperson, and a Pilot/Controller Liaison. It examines the problems that have both a direct and indirect impact on the safety of the air traffic control system and, additionally, develops and evaluates solutions in response to these problems. NATCA is also represented on various other aviation safety groups.

Teamsters Endorse DelBene for U.S. Congress
DelBene wins support from 7,000 Teamster families in the First Congressional District
(Everett, WA) - The Joint Council of Teamsters No. 28, which represents more than 50,000 Teamster families in Washington, announced its support for Suzan DelBene for U.S. Congress today.
More than 7,000 Teamsters live and work in the newly drawn First Congressional District.
"Suzan DelBene understands that union workers make businesses stronger and more competitive," said Steven Chandler, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 38. Local 38 represents some 4,000 private sector workers in Snohomish County, including grocery clerks at Safeway, QFC and Albertsons stores.
"Just look at UPS, which is doing record-level business in the region thanks to hundreds of very efficient and motivated Teamster drivers and warehouse workers," said Leonard Kelley, a former UPS driver and current Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 231 in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. "Suzan DelBene understands our local economy can only grow if we have strong, viable businesses that support strong, family wage jobs."
In the next few weeks, Teamsters will invite Suzan DelBene and the media to visit Teamster job sites to meet with Teamster members, including the Monroe Correctional Complex where more than 1,000 Teamsters officers, nurses and other public employees face highly dangerous working conditions.
All 2012 Teamster endorsements can be found here.

Only 115,000 jobs were added to the rolls in April, which is well below the tepid forecasts. The unemployment rate ticked down to 8.1 percent from 8.2 percent in March, but the drop could have been due to more people dropping out of the workforce. From the NYT:
The United States economy is producing even more goods and services than it did when the recession officially began in December 2007, but with about five million fewer workers. Given the many productivity gains across the economy - that is, the fact that employers have learned how to make more with fewer workers - there is also debate about what exactly "healthy" employment would look like in the current economy, and whether it still makes sense to use the pre-financial-crisis economy as a benchmark for what the employment landscape should look like. On Thursday, John Williams, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, suggested that the "natural" rate of unemployment might now be as high as 6.5 percent. Before the recession, economists generally believed it was around 5 percent.
Here's the BLS release. We'll have more later.

RFMD's FEMs achieve industry-leading linear power and dynamic error vector magnitude (EVM) performance in support of the newest reference designs from the world's leading WiFi chipset providers.
The WiFi market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing consumer demand for access to mobile broadband data and the expanding operator requirements for data offload to accommodate increased cellular and cable network services. By 2015, it is projected the WiFi FEM mobile/embedded and consumer premises equipment markets will exceed $1.8 billion.
Rohan Houlden, general manager of RFMD's wireless connectivity business unit, said, "RFMD's newest WiFi front end modules demonstrate industry-leading performance and are aligned with the industry's leading WiFi chipset providers on their most anticipated reference designs. By achieving superior linearity and dynamic EVM, RFMD's WiFi front end modules enable the proliferation of mobile broadband connectivity across an ever-expanding range of growth markets, including smartphones, tablets, notebooks, ultra-books, PCs, TV/video, e-readers, gaming, and automotive."
Dynamic EVM is a critical design specification for high data rate WiFi systems. While competitor solutions have traditionally measured static EVM performance, RFMD's FEMs achieve superior dynamic EVM to deliver best-in-class real-world WiFi system performance. This enables optimum data throughput at increased operator range, current savings through optimal transmit and receive speeds, and an enhanced user experience during video streaming, gaming, and other high data rate applications.
RFRFMD's RFFM8200/8202 (2.5GHz) and RFFM8500/8502 (5GHz) FEMs integrate the power amplifier, LNA, and switch functionality into a single plastic QFN package. Designed for both "chip on board" and "system-in-package" (SiP) implementations, both product families deliver best-in-class linear output power while operating over a wide range of operating voltages. The highly integrated FEMs significantly reduce external component count outside the core WiFi chipset.
RFMD is exhibiting its broad portfolio of WiFi products at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium, through June 22, 2012, in Booth 1210 at the Palais des congres convention center, in Montreal, Canada.
Samples and production quantities are available now through RFMD's online store or through local RFMD sales channels.

Kinzua Sky Walk offers a unique glimpse into the bridge's history revealing the ingenuity, dedication and determination of its designers and builders.
The Kinzua Viaduct, when first constructed in May 1882, was the highest and longest viaduct in the world, measuring 301 feet high and 2,053 feet long. The need to transport coal, oil and lumber across the Kinzua Gorge inspired General Thomas Kane, president of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Coal Company and Octave Chanute, Chief Engineer for the Erie Railroad to design a colossal viaduct.
Kinzua State Park - Mount Jewett, PAIn 1900, the viaduct was rebuilt of steel to accommodate larger loads and the weight of modern train traffic In 1963, Gov. William Scranton signed legislation that provided for the acquisition of the viaduct and adjacent lands to become a state park. The Kinzua Bridge State Park opened in 1970. In 1977, the Kinzua Viaduct was placed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks by the Federal Department of Interior.
The bridge stood for 121 years before it partially collapsed under the powerful winds of a tornado in 2003.
In 2009, work started to reinvent the remaining towers of the historic viaduct as a pedestrian walkway. That plan was changed.
Kinzua State Park - Mount Jewett, PAToday the Viaduct, has been reinvented as the Kinzua Sky Walk — a spectacular walkway that once again allows the public to "Walk the Tracks Across the Sky." A glass-bottomed observation deck enables visitors to look down at the remaining towers supporting the historic structure.
The Kinzua Bridge State Park features lovely picnic areas, hiking trails, interpretive programs, group tent camping and scenic overlooks. A park pavilion may be rented for special events.
Kinzua State Park - Mount Jewett, PAThe park is accessible via the Kinzua Bridge Scenic Byway (SR 3011) which is a designated shared use hike/bike corridor, connecting Pennsylvania Route 6, just east of the village of Mount Jewett, to the Kinzua Bridge State Park.
Future plans at the park include the Kinzua Visitors Center which will feature classrooms, a visitor center, restrooms, and a small retail store along with interpretive programming and interactive displays on engineering, energy and the environment.
To schedule a group/motor coach tour or interpretive program, or for additional information please call the Kinzua Bridge State Park: 814-965-2646
You can own the award wining documentary "Tracks Across the Sky", which is available in DVD format from our online store.

WEIRTON, W.Va. –
Weirton police arrested two people in what they're calling a "staged" robbery at a downtown pizza shop.
Richard Sexton and Shannon Holbrook were arraigned Tuesday afternoon on robbery charges.
Both are accused of robbing the Papa John's pizza shop on Monday night.
Police said in the surveillance video, it looked like one of the suspects was using force against the other to get money, but investigators said the incident was all staged.
