Fascinating Introduction to the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis
- Published on Amazon.com Format:Paperback The Philosophy of Set Theory - An Historical Introduction to Cantor's Paradise by Mary Tiles is a fascinating mix of mathematics, mathematical logic, and philosophy that should appeal to (and challenge) both mathematics and philosophy majors at the undergraduate and graduate level.The focus is on the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis (GCH); the reader will meet topics like numbering the continuum, developing Cantor's transfinite ordinal and cardinal numbers, evaluating the ZF axioms underlying set theory, and examining the work of Frege and Russell.The first four chapters (The Finite Universe; Classes and Aristotelian Logic; Permutations, Combinations, and Infinite Cardinalities; and Numbering the Continuum) provide a historical, philosophical, and mathematical context for the more challenging chapters that follow. Some readers may wish to skip familiar sections although I found these early chapters to be quite engaging.Chapter 5 - Cantor's Transfinite Paradise is a good, standalone introduction to Cantor's transfinite ordinal and cardinal numbers and to the General Continuum Hypothesis (GCH).Chapter 6 - Axiomatic Set Theory is another good standalone chapter. Mary Tiles introduces the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms that underlie modern set theory and develops a restatement of the GCH in the language of the ZF axioms.Chapter 7 - Logical Objects and Logical Types delves deeply into the work of Frege and Russell. This was not the first time that I had encountered Russell's ramified type hierarchy, but nonetheless I still found this section slow going.Chapter 8 - Independence Results and the Universe of Sets assumes substantial familiarity with model theory. Specific topics include Godel's constructible sets, cardinals and ordinals in models, inner models, and generic sets. Readers can either browse this technical chapter or omit it if they are willing to accept on trust the independence of the generalized continuum hypothesis and of the axiom of choice from the remaining Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.The final chapter, Mathematical Structure - Construct and Reality, summarizes the key philosophic issues underlying not only the generalized continuum hypothesis, but also with set theory in general and with the theory of transfinite numbers in particular.I thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to Cantor's transfinite numbers. Mary Tiles has created an intriguing examination of the generalized continuum hypothesis.

Finitistic Philosophy, with Some Comments on Cantor
By Edward F. Strasser
- Published on Amazon.com Format:Paperback When Newton and his successors defined the calculus in the 17th and 18th centuries, they were quite cavalier about infinities. For example, they treated sums of infinitely many numbers essentially the same way they treated sums of finitely many numbers. And when talking about derivatives, they were content to talk of changes over infinitely shrinking intervals without quite saying what they meant by that. As mathematics developed increasingly abstract methods, more divorced from the simple observations of physics, many problems cropped up, mostly having to do with the careless use of infinities. In order to deal with these problems, mathematicians devised precise definitions which made no explicit use of infinities.But the new methods made it necessary for mathematicians to consider the sets of points where the methods broke down. In investigating them, Cantor had to consider infinite sets and even had to compare different sizes of infinity. Understandably, many mathematicians were upset. But others found Cantor's mathematics useful and worked to put set theory on a solid basis. A new theory, the Zermelo-Frankel theory of sets, was the result. It's not perfect, but it's good enough for most mathematicians. Most mathematicians today are quite comfortable with infinite sets.I mention all this because Tiles doesn't. Given the subtitle, "An Historical Introduction to Cantor's Paradise", I was expecting to read about the intellectual climate in which Cantor developed his theory. So I am writing this book for the sake of anyone who might like a book putting Cantor's theory into its historical context: this is not the book.It is a book about the philosophy of finitism, from ancient Greek times to the 20th century. It might be a good book on that topic; I have no way of knowing. For that reason, I can't fairly rate the book and the three stars shouldn't be taken seriously.(My degrees are in math, not philosophy; for more about that, click on my name at the head of this review. Math texts are strong on theory but, unfortunately, weak on context.)(Original review 25 Nov 2005; this paragraph 11 Jan 2006) The book makes several references to Zeno's paradoxes. These are based on an assumptiion which is incorrect in a universe, such as ours, where quantum effects are fundamental. Hence they are of purely philosophical interest.
good- but not true to title
By Matthew E. Harbowy
- Published on Amazon.com Format:Paperback While this book is well-written and appears to provide a sufficient introduction to the concepts of set theory, it approaches but falls short of its titular subject- discussing the impact of set theory on philosophy.While it addresses Cantor's project of putting analysis on a firm footing stripped of geometrical intuition, it neither addresses what additional benefit is to be gained in pursuit of this project, nor truly addresses the impact of set theory on philosophy. Instead, it makes an effective but somewhat pointless summation of aristotelian philosophical concerns, including also such things as Zeno's paradoxes, but does not address how formal set theory addresses these concerns other than drawing an entirely imaginary universe in which paradoxes are excluded by definition.As such, set theory is relegated to the same realm as string theory- an interesting religion, entirely believable, but providing no testable benefit. Analysis and the concept of infintesimal limits and calculus provide concrete tools for challenging Zeno, even if they don't provide a definitive footing to formalize themselves.This book would have benefited greatly from going full circle; returning to the world of philosophy in a post-Cantorian world. It ends, though, satisfied that it has explained set theory without making any attempt to tie it back to the earlier discussion of pre-Cantorian, pre-Russellian philosophy, as though Russell and logical positivism is the end of philosophy. Any book which has a title containing "philosophy" should require a chapter on "next steps", beyond simply suggesting additional reading, to give the reader a desire to pursue the topic further. Tiles' work fails on this account, despite being well written, and as such receives only a mediocre grade.
By James Squanderlast
- Published on Amazon.com Format:Kindle Edition I'm a math enthusiast with no formal training in math. I've only studied finance/econ. So we use some areas of math heavily, but don't tend to play around with the more pure analysis of math. I was enamored by set theory in the past, but the books I bought were just too intense. I lacked not only the background, but also the time to teach myself the intense complexity of high level set theory. However, I absolutely loved the insight even basic set-theory analysis offered me into calculus, which I gained from the back four pages of a game theory textbook I owned!This book was wonderful. It was conceptually challenging, and not uncommon for me to spend 5 minutes on a page. At the same time, it's the type of book a clever person without an intense math background could take to a coffee shop. I also found the historical philosophy parts of the book fascinating, and offering a wonderful foundation for the reasons new models and ideas were formed.I initially found this book at a bookstore, and decided not to buy it, as I made the pretentious observation the author/professor did not teach at a 'prestigious school.' I then doubled back and made the impulse purchase after getting hooked on one of the chapters in the middle of the book, and decided to give it a proper shot. I have to say, I absolutely love this book. The insights into critical analysis of algebra/geometry/infinite series, has legitimately helped me in my work in game theory. While I hope to eventually study a high level course in real-analysis, this book manages to be both captivating and as rigorous as possible without creating a full-blown mathematical textbook.I highly recommend it to anyone who loves set theory OR philosophy, and wants to self-study more (PS: If you're a philosopher with no math background, I still suggest you buy this book. The best way for philosopher to learn math is to start in areas that overlap with philosophy as opposed to being discouraged from college courses that focus on boring exam based computation rather than critical analysis).

Testament of a Witch | Letters from a Briton
← Book Giveaway – Shades of Faith
18 August 2011 · 15:54
Synopsis: John Mackenzie is an advocate in Edinburgh who is charged by a letter from a dead woman to investigate happenings in the village of Lammersheugh. He and his assistant, Davie Scougall, a man raised in religious superstition, arrive to find the dead woman’s daughter, Euphame also accused of witchcraft and the enlightened Mr Mackenzie and his reluctant assistant must work quickly to save her.
What did I like? Douglas Watt keeps his chapters short and each has a different voice, focussing on one person, or section of the community and this keeps the story moving at a cracking pace. The zeitgeist of the Scotland in the 17th century – the religious fervour and political unrest – is evoked with apparent ease and Mr Watt is explicit when describing the gruesome nature of the treatment afforded those accused of being in league with the devil but this adds to the feeling of uncertainty and terror of the time.
I enjoyed this book and sped through it keen to discover the underbelly of Lammersheugh with John Mackenzie, but unlike other murder and/or mystery books, I was unable to unravel the mystery ahead of the author’s reveal. For me, this is a big plus for the book.
What didn’t I like? Very little. Some of the chapters were difficult to read as over half the chapter was written in a Scottish dialect, though the few Gaelic phrases scattered throughout other chapters were translated into plain English.

A carriage-type thermal ink jet printer is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,638,337.
That printer has a plurality of printheads, each with its own ink tank cartridge, mounted on a reciprocating carriage. The channel orifices in each printhead are aligned perpendicular to the line of movement of the carriage. A swath of information is printed on the stationary recording medium as the carriage is moved in one direction. The recording medium is then stepped, perpendicular to the line of carriage movement, by a distance equal to the width of the printed swath. The carriage is then moved in the reverse direction to print another swath of information.
This invention provides a cam-activated lever capping arm, for a maintenance station for an ink jet printhead, that carries and actuates one or more printhead caps movably mounted on a cap carriage to cap the printhead nozzles.
FIG. 4 is a side plan view of one exemplary embodiment of a cam-actuated lever capping arm according to this invention, in an extreme clockwise position;
FIG. 5 is a front perspective view of the cam-actuated lever capping arm with the cam in the extreme clockwise position;
FIG. 6 is a side plan view of the cam-actuated lever capping arm with the cam shaft advanced counterclockwise;
FIG. 7 is a side plan view of the cam-actuated lever capping arm with the cam shaft in an extreme counterclockwise position;
FIG. 8 is a front perspective view of the can-actuated lever capping arm with the camshaft in the extreme counterclockwise position;
FIG. 9 is a side plan view of the cam-actuated lever capping arm with the cam shaft advanced in a clockwise position away from the extreme counterclockwise position of FIGS. 7 and 8; and
FIG. 10 is a side plan view of the cam-actuated lever capping arm with the cam shaft further advanced in a clockwise position relative to FIG. 9.
In particular, in various exemplary embodiments, when the cam shaft 100 first begins rotating in the counterclockwise direction, the wiper blade portion 120 drives a wiper blade platform (not shown) from a first position to a second position to wipe the nozzle faces 23 of the one or more printheads 12. Then, when the cam shaft 100 is driven in the clockwise direction, the wiper blade drive portion 120 of the cam shaft 100 lastly drives the wiper blade platform from the second position back to the first position to wipe the nozzle face 23 of the one or more printheads 12 before the printhead 14 is moved from the maintenance station 1000 to the printing zone 24. The wiper blade platform, a wiper blade drive mechanism positioned between the cam shaft 100 and the wiper blade platform, and the operation of the wiper blade drive portion 120 is described in greater detail in the incorporated U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/594,694 application.
In various exemplary embodiments, after the wiper blade drive portion 120 moves the wiper blade platform from the first position to the second position, the cam shaft 100 rotates further in the counterclockwise direction. As a result, the cam-actuated lever capping arm drive portion 130 interacts with a cam-actuated lever arm 200 to move a cap carriage 300 from a disengaged position to an engaged position. In the engaged position, one or more printhead caps 600 carried by the cap carriage 300 engage the one or more printheads 12 as the cam shaft 100 continues to rotate in the counterclockwise direction. Similarly, when the cam shaft 100 is driven in the clockwise direction, the cam-actuated lever capping arm drive portion 130 interacts with the cam-actuated lever arm 200 to move the capping carriage 300 from the engaged position to the disengaged position, before the wiper blade drive portion 120 moves the wiper blade platform from the second position back to the first position. This is described in greater detail below. The structure and operation of the printhead caps 600 are described in greater detail in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/594,682 and Ser. No. 09/594,690 each filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Likewise, after the cam-actuated lever capping arm drive portion 130 moves the capping station 300 from the disengaged position to the engaged position, the cam shaft 100 rotates further in the counterclockwise direction. As a result, the pinch tube actuating portion 140 actuates one or more pinch tubes (not shown) to apply a negative pressure to the one or more printheads cap 600 mounted on the cap carriage 300. The structure and operation of the pinch tubes and pinch mechanism is described in greater detail in copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/594,680 filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The cam shaft 100 then continues to rotate in the counterclockwise direction until the cam shaft 100 reaches the extreme counterclockwise position. The controller, based on the signal from the optical relay generated when the optical window 114 is aligned with the optical relay, maintains the cam shaft 100 in the extreme counterclockwise position for one of the predetermined times.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show a side plan and a front perspective view, respectively, of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200, with the cam shaft 100 in the extreme clockwise position. When the cam shaft 100 is in the extreme clockwise position, the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 is fully “lowered” to place the cap carriage 300 in the disengaged position. As indicated above, when the cap carriage 300 is in the disengaged position and the cam shaft 100 is in the extreme clockwise position, the optical window 114 of the sensor wheel 112 is aligned with the optical relay. When the optical relay is in the closed circuit position and the printhead is moved into the maintenance station 1000, the controller drives the gear train to drive the gear train 100 in the counterclockwise direction.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 includes a hold-down cam engaging portion 210, a capping cam engaging portion 220, a lever arm portion 230, and a mounting portion 240. The mounting portion 240 rotatably mounts the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 on a fixed shaft (not shown) of the maintenance station 1000. The mounting portion 240 “snap-fits” over the fixed shaft. In particular, the hold-down cam engaging portion 210 engages the hold-down cam 132 to rotate the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 in a clockwise direction about the fixed shaft to move the cap carriage 300 from the engaged position to the disengaged position. In contrast, the capping cam engaging portion 220 engages the one or more capping cams 134 to rotate the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 about the fixed shaft in a counterclockwise direction to raise the cap carriage 300 from the disengaged position to the engaged position.
In various exemplary embodiments, the hold-down cam engaging portion 210 includes a inverted cam surface 212, and a protruding follower portion 214. When the cam shaft 100 rotates in the clockwise direction, the down cam surface 133 of the hold-down cam 132 engages the inverted cam surface 212. The hold-down cam portion 210 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 that contacts the hold-down cam 132 terminates at the protruding portion 214. The hold-down cam 132 contacts the protruding portion 214 when the cam shaft 100 rotates in the counterclockwise direction.
In various exemplary embodiments, the capping cam engaging portion 220 includes a cap cam follower 222, a curvilinear surface 224, a protruding leading portion 226, a capping cam stop 227 and an inner surface 228. When the cam shaft 100 rotates in the clockwise and the counterclockwise direction, the one or more capping cams interact with various elements of the capping cam engaging portion 220. Before the cam shaft 100 begins to turn counterclockwise from its extreme clockwise position, each at least one capping cam 134 is resiliently engaged against the capping cam stop 227 formed in the curvilinear surface 224 of the capping cam engaging portion 220 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200.
In various exemplary embodiments, the lever arm portion 230 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 has a pair of pins 232 that extend laterally from the lever arm portion 230 and fit into a slot 305 in the cap carriage 300. The lever arm 230 and the pins 232 engage a top surface of the slot 305 when the cam-actuated capping arm 200 is driven in the counterclockwise direction to raise the cap carriage 300 from the disengaged position to the engaged position. In contrast, the pins 232 of the lever arm 230 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 engage a bottom surface of the slot 305 when the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 is driven in the clockwise direction to move the cap carriage 300 from the engaged position to the disengaged position.
FIG. 6 is a side plan view of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 with the cam shaft 100 advanced in a counterclockwise position away from the extreme clockwise position of the cam shaft 100 shown in FIG. 4. The surface 135 of each of the one or more capping cams 134 separates from the inner surface 228 of the cam stop 227 of the capping arm engaging portion 220 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200. In response, the pins 232 of the lever 230 of the cam-actuated capping arm 200 bear against the top surface of the slot 305 to move the cap carriage 300 from the disengaged position to the engaged position to engage the nozzle surfaces 23 of the one or more printheads 12. The motion of the cap carriage 300 is driven by the counterclockwise rotation of the cam shaft 100. Specifically, the one or more capping cams 134 resiliently contact the protruding leading portion 226 of the capping cam stop 227. In response, the capping cam portion 200 acts as a cam follower. The force exerted on the protruding leading portion 226 of the capping cam engaging portion 220 forces the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 to rotate down or counterclockwise about the fixed shaft. This motion is transferred to the cap carriage 300 by the lever arm portion 230. This transferred motion in turn moves the cap carriage 300 from the disengaged position to the engaged position.
FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show a plan view and a perspective view of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200, respectively, with the cam shaft 100 in the extreme counterclockwise position, and the cam activated lever capping arm 200 in the fully raised position and the cap carriage 300 in the engaged position. After the cam shaft 100 has rotated in a counterclockwise position, and the cam stop surface 133 of the hold-down cam 132 resiliently contacts the surface 212 of the hold-down cam engaging portion 210 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200, the optical window 114 is aligned with the optical relay. As a result, the optical relay is placed into the closed circuit condition. The controller, in response, holds the cap carriage in the engaged position for the predetermined time, then reverses the drive direction of the gear train, which in response, rotates the cam shaft 100 in a clockwise direction.
FIG. 9 shows the cam shaft 100 advanced to a clockwise position away from the extreme counterclockwise position shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. As the cam shaft 100 continues to rotate in a clockwise position, an edge 136 of each of the one or more capping cams 134 will engagably contact the curvilinear surface 224 of the capping cam engaging portion 220 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200. As the cam shaft 100 continues to turn the one or more capping cams 134 in a clockwise direction, the leading edge 136 of each of the one or more capping cams 134 will engage the curvilinear surface 224 to push the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 gradually in a clockwise direction about the fixed shaft. This motion is transferred to the cap carriage 300 by the lever arm portion 230. This transferred motion moves the cap carriage 300 from the engaged position to the disengaged position.
FIG. 10 shows the cam shaft 100 further advanced in the clockwise position away from the position shown in FIG. 9. In particular, FIG. 10 shows the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 returned to the extreme clockwise position. As the cam shaft 100 continues in the clockwise direction from the position shown in FIG. 9 to the position shown in FIG. 10, the hold-down cam 132 bears against the protruding portion 214 of the hold-down engaging portion 210 and the leading edge 136 of each of the one or more capping cams 134 continues to bear against the curvilinear surface 224 of the capping cam portion 220 of the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200. This causes the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 to rotate clockwise about the fixed shaft. The cam-actuated lever capping arm continues to rotate clockwise about the fixed shaft until the surface 135 resiliently contacts the cam stop 227. When the surface 135 of each of the capping cams 134 has resiliently contacted the cam stop 227, the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200 has moved the cap carriage 300 from the engaged position to the disengaged position.
In one exemplary embodiment, many individual systems cooperate to maintain and maximize the useful life of the one or more printheads 12, and may, for example, take place at a maintenance station. The maintenance station 1000, may be, for example, at one side of the printer, outside the printing zone 24. At the end of a printing operation or termination of the printing mode by the printer 10, the carriage 16 is moved to the maintenance station 1000. With the one or more printhead nozzle faces 23 positioned adjacent to the maintenance station, the controller activates the maintenance station motor to drive the maintenance station gear train and as described above activates the wiper blade platform to wipe ink and debris from the printhead nozzle faces 23 every time the one or more printheads 12 enter or exit the maintenance station 1000.
The maintenance station gear train advances the cam shaft 100, which actuates the one or more capping cams 134, which in turn actuate the cam-actuated lever capping arm 200. The lever capping arm 200 moves the cap carriage 300 into the engaged position where the caps 600 can receive and cap the one or more printheads 12.
Thus, once the one or more printhead nozzle faces 23 are capped by the one or more caps 600, the controller may optionally have the one or more printheads 12 eject a number of ink droplets into the caps 600.

Phong Hong Bakes and Cooks!: Three Color Steamed Egg
This Three Color Steamed Egg refers to the colors from chicken egg, salted duck egg and century egg. But from my dish you can only see one piece of century egg peeking out from the chicken egg.
I took this recipe from the cookbook A Taste of Home by Andrew Kow. This is the first time I am doing a steamed egg and I was quite excited. Having three types of eggs in a dish is definitely something I look forwards to.
And you know what? This is also the first time that I am handling raw duck egg. Hah! Hah! When I broke open the first egg, I realized that the egg shell is tough and the membrane is even tougher. Are duck eggs like that or is this the result of the salting process? The egg yolks were gooey and I found it tricky to cut them into smaller pieces.
As for the century eggs (I used duck century egg), no problems and this batch I bought from Aeon are rather good. The last batch I bought from Tesco was quite difficult to handle because the clay casing was damp and very hard. This one was dry and brittle and removing it was a breeze. It took quite a bit of will power for me not to pop the century egg into my mouth. I love century eggs!!!
I also looked up Martin Yan's Chinese Cooking For Dummies on how to get a smooth steamed egg. The tip is to use one half of the cracked eggshell to measure the water to add to the eggs. For each egg, add three portions of water measured using that half eggshell. Also, when steaming, lay two wooden chopsticks across the steamer's rim and then carefully and securely rest the lid on them. This creates a small air vent that allows excess steam to escape so it won't condense back onto the egg mixture.
So how did my steamed egg turn out? Quite alright, not bad for a first try. The only thing not satisfactory was that it needed a bit more seasoning. Other than that, I was very pleased. Like I said before, I do love my eggs!!
Recipe source : A Taste of Home (Page 68)
- 5 eggs (I used 3 eggs)
- 2 salted egg yolks
- 2 century eggs
- 2 Japanese bean curd (I used only one)
- chicken stock (I used 1 tablespoon of light soya sauce)
- 1/2 tsp cooking wine (I used 1 tablspooon)
- 200ml warm water (I measured the water using the eggshell method, i.e. for each egg, fill one half of the eggshell three times with water)
- fried shallot oil (I used fried garlic oil)
1. Cut Japanese bean curd into slices and arrange at the bottom of the steaming platter.
2. Cut salted egg yolks and century eggs into small pieces. Arrange on top of bean curd.
3. In a bowl, beat the chicken eggs. Add seasoning and water, mix well.
4. Pour into the steaming platter.
5. Place platter into steamer and steam for 12 minutes (it may take longer, you need to check)
6. When the egg is set, remove from steamer and add garnishing.
Mel 5 August 2013 at 09:00
Whenever I am out of idea what to cook, steamed eggs is one of my solution. And steamed eggs dish is when I don't feel like having a heavy meal too. I loves steamed eggs but I am not a fan of century eggs.
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:17
Mel, I quite enjoyed this dish. So nice and soft. I like all the three eggs :)
Alan (travellingfoodies) 5 August 2013 at 09:53
yummy dish which I havent had in a long time! what are those green berry-like fruits? unriped peppercorn?
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:18
Alan, those berries are from my henna tree!
Choy Christine 5 August 2013 at 10:15
Really tempting indeed....
Christine, it was yummy! Next time I want to put more duck egg yolks.
Sonia ~ Nasi Lemak Lover 5 August 2013 at 10:25
Look silky smooth and good!
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:19
Thanks, Sonia! I was so happy my steamed egg turned out well.
Amelia 5 August 2013 at 10:36
Hi Phong Hong, I love steamed eggs too but minus the century egg. Salted egg is my favorite when I cannot decide what to cook. :))
Your steamed egg look inviting.
Amelia, I love salted egg too especially the yolk!
Jess @ Bakericious 5 August 2013 at 10:56
PH, I cooked this b4, love it :D
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:20
Jess, I will cook this again. So nice to eat!
Ann Low 5 August 2013 at 11:08
Hi Phong Hong, My grandma used to cook this dish when I was a little girl and I love this dish very much.
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:21
Ann, we always love our childhood dishes. My grandma used to steam eggs with fermented prawns and they were yummy!
Kimmy 5 August 2013 at 11:13
Hi Phong Hong, silky smooth steamed eggs. Now I have the fried and steamed versions to try. Thanks to fellow blogger friends.
Kimmy, I must try the fried version too as I know I will love it!
Jozelyn Ng 5 August 2013 at 11:21
These eggs looks wonderful and nicely done. Thanks for the tips share for steaming this egg. My mother always cover the plate with a bigger plate end up that she need to steam longer to get it done nicely. Next time I will ask her to use chopstick to create some space to allow the steam to evaporate!
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:22
Thanks, Jozelyn! It will also take a bit longer if you create the air vent but worth it to get a smooth custard.
suituapui 5 August 2013 at 12:13
I want to try this soon...
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:23
Arthur, you should! It is very good, soft and sliky :)
kitchen flavours 5 August 2013 at 12:14
Oh yum! It's egg party this month! You bring the steamed eggs and I'll bring the fried eggs! I think between us, we could finish everything! Yummy!
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:24
Joyce, I was eyeing your fried eggs! I will try your fried version soon and you are right, we can definitely finish the two dishes between us :)
Jeannie Tay 5 August 2013 at 13:30
Waa...very nice! Mine always curdled because of too high heat...must try your way and see if can get such nice results:D
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:25
Jeannie, you try this method sure can get smooth surface. But it takes a bit longer to cook.
Mich PieceofCake 5 August 2013 at 15:16
Your steamed egg looks so smooth and creamy, and I love the addition of the other 2 types of eggs to it!
Thanks, Mich! I didn't know about this dish until I saw it in the book.
Veronica Ng 5 August 2013 at 15:24
I loved steam eggs too but never with century eggs. Yours look very smooth, just like tofu.
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:26
Veronica, I guess you don't like century eggs. I love it in spite of the yucky smell :)
Small Kucing 5 August 2013 at 15:25
I love this dish :). Usually cook this when am lazy
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:27
Very easy to do, hor? I love the soft, silky feel.
ivy sew http://simplybeautifulhealthyliving.blogspot.com 5 August 2013 at 16:07
Phong Hong, this is so so yummy :) I think I can just eat like that!!! I am also an egg lover :)
Phong Hong 5 August 2013 at 18:28
Ivy, I ate it with one vegetable dish. So satisfying!
Jasline @ Foodie Baker 5 August 2013 at 17:00
Normally I have steamed chicken eggs with century eggs, never thought of adding duck eggs inside! This looks yummy!
Jasline, next time add the duck egg yolks. Very nice!
Jessie-CookingMoments 5 August 2013 at 20:20
Phong Hong, your 1st time of steaming this eggs is so successful! This is the recipe that requires lots of skill in steaming. Look at the surface, so smooth! Bravo bravo!
Phong Hong 7 August 2013 at 17:39
Thanks, Jessie! Luckily I checked Martin Yan's book and followed his tips.
xing hui 6 August 2013 at 00:10
Phong Hong, your steamd egg looks perfect. i like this. Will going to try out this.
Thanks, xing hui! Hope you will like this steamed egg.
Esther@thefussfreechef 6 August 2013 at 00:13
PH, this dish features regularly on our dinner menu, haha. I always use a ratio of 1:1:1 for the three eggs, so your recipe is quite a big serving eh. Its so tasty, can eat lotsa steam rice with it.
Phong Hong 7 August 2013 at 17:41
That's great, Esther! I only discovered this dish after looking at the cookbook. Then I saw it on a restaurant menu hah! hah!
Lite Home Bake 6 August 2013 at 10:26
PH, this is very good for a first attempt, silky smooth! My first attempt many years back was a disaster, i overbeat it and the egg balooned, it was so funny :))
Phong Hong 7 August 2013 at 17:42
Oh, the eggs can balloon? Hah! Hah! There was a lot of air bubbles on teh surface due to the beating and I was worried. Luckily they burst when heated.
Angel @ Cook.Bake.Love 6 August 2013 at 12:42
This is a dish that i like.
Your steamed egg is very smooth.
Thanks, Angel! Call it beginner's luck!
Wow looks sedapnya so smooth and silky never tell me or else I Will hop over to your hose to eat I love to eat eggs cook in this way Next time cook let me know
Phong Hong 7 August 2013 at 17:43
EE, you know how to cook this hah! hah!
Edith C 6 August 2013 at 13:14
This is my childhood dish. Yours is so smooth. I must bookmarked this!

Thanks, Edith! The only steamed egg I have eaten before this one is chawan mushi :)

Hi PH, thanks for linking this to LTU! I have also cooked this recipe (to be posted later), one of my fav Chinese egg dishes. I saw your ingredient list - got beancurd, that's definitely something new to me. Will try it next time. Your steamed egg looks so smooth, thumbs up!
Yen, I am looking forwards to seeing your version!
Shirley Tay 6 August 2013 at 22:00
I've always enjoyed this dish, especially with the addition of other eggs. Yummy!
Phong Hong 7 August 2013 at 17:45
Shirley, this dish will feature again in my meals. Love eggs!
Cecilia Yap 6 August 2013 at 22:47
This is one of my favourite dish and I liked it with plain porridge.
Cecilia, I will try with porridge next time!

Those look delicious!! I think I will try them this weekend – they would be great next week for “back-to-school” week!!
Phong Hong 7 August 2013 at 17:46
cquek, your kids will love it!
Zoe 7 August 2013 at 08:15
I like Martin Yan but don't really think his egg shell method of estimating the amount of water to add in works. It depends on how you cracked the eggs... *eyes rolled* But I do believe in his chopstick method because the steaming water vapour might damage the steamed egg surfaces...
Nevermind, yours look beautiful and delicious anyway!
Phong Hong 7 August 2013 at 17:47
Hi Zoe, oh I guess you are right! I got lucky trying his method :)
Chef and Sommelier 7 August 2013 at 12:15
Hi Phong Hong! The combination of these 3 eggs can be used in many dishes! Yours would be great for a hearty rice meal!

January Magazine: New this Month: The Puzzle Ring by Kate Forsyth
The Puzzle Ring (Scholastic) begins in Australia, where 13-year-old Hannah is living with her mother, Roz, a science teacher, but the action quickly moves to Scotland and stays there. Roz receives a letter from her missing husband’s grandmother, Belle, who pleads with her to return. Hannah finds out that her father was a Scottish lord, although the only money the family has now comes from tourist visitors.
Meeting some local children, Hannah is soon heavily involved in adventures involving a family curse, a puzzle ring that has to be reassembled before the curse can be lifted and a search for her lost father. The only problem is, she may just have to time-travel to solve all these problems. Right back to the time of Mary Queen of Scots, in fact.
In some ways, this is a good old-fashioned children’s book of the kind I, at least, grew up on. Apart from suggestions that some characters’ parents might not have been married and characters in the past indicating that Mary Queen of Scots is no better than she should be -- and you can’t change history -- there’s nothing in here that you wouldn’t find in one of those books, except for a detailed afterword that discusses the different theories of time travel and wormholes. There’s also an explanation of the story of Queen Mary and a recipe at the end for marmalade cake, as made by the author’s mother.
This book will be perfect for the little girl in your life who likes fairies, although be warned: the author makes it clear from early in the novel that the cute little fairies most children think of have no connection whatever to the ones in folklore. They’re more like Tolkien’s Elves but can also be thoroughly terrifying.
It won’t hurt children to find this out -- and they may even be interested enough to check out the “real” faerie for themselves.
Kate Forsyth is a well-known Australian writer of children’s fantasy. She actually managed to score five junior-section Aurealis Awards for a fantasy series one year!

88 Days to Ironman Chattanooga: Staying Positive | Chlorine, Chains, & Laces
8 Weeks to Ironman Chattanooga →
Posted on June 26, 2017 by Andrea Hipps
The past few weeks have been great! Summer break has been exactly what I have needed so far. I’ve had time to focus on me and my training without stress and exhaustion from work. I can sip coffee all morning long and then head out the door for training at my leisure. And, compared to last summer, the heat and humidity haven’t been a complete killer yet. Yet.
This will be the 5th Ironman I’ve trained for, but I feel like this time everything is so different. And, not just because I started training for IMCHOO with very little fitness and a 20 lb. weight gain. That’s definitely made this journey different from my past IMs, but I’ve really tried to change the way I look at things. Like, really change my thought process, and so far, that’s been my biggest motivator and accomplishment in training. The power of positive thinking truly is amazing. I’m working on counting my blessings more than focusing on the speed and fitness that I lost during 2016. I’m also focusing on staying in the present and not worrying about the yards, miles, or intervals ahead, which is completely different from what I’ve been known to do. And, you know what? I’m actually enjoying much of the training I’m putting in so far. Maybe not the swimming so much, but I’m working on that. 🙂 Don’t get me wrong, now. Not every training session ends with a rainbow and a unicorn, but when things don’t go my way, I’m trying really hard to not let it become my focus (heaven knows I have in the past). There’s something positive to be said after each swim, bike, and run, even if it’s just that I stuck with it or that I’m still alive. I’m really trying to be thankful for every minute I get to spend in this sport. No matter what the clock reads when I cross the finish line in Chattanooga (God willing), I want to walk away and be able to say that I did indeed find joy and happiness in this journey.
2 thoughts on “88 Days to Ironman Chattanooga: Staying Positive”
It always amazes me how a change in thinking can change the whole workout/day! I can’t believe you’re only 88 days away from race day! That makes me scared to even count how far away I am since I know it is less than 60…
So true! And less than 60 days for you?!? I’m so excited for you!! You will be more than ready!

Front Forty Farm: Reading Pillows
Hubby and I enjoy reading in bed at night before going to sleep, and we like having little "reading pillows"to pop behind our heads or under the book or wherever we feel we need them. We had these cute little white embroidered ones that were hand-me-downs from my mom, but the light-weight linen eventually wore to a point where the fabric tore, and I could not fix them. Hubby and I needed new pillows, and I had a perfect idea in mind.
I purchased two white linen curtain panels at the local thrift store for $2.00 each...such a steal for linen fabric! I only needed 1/2 of one of the panels for the fronts and backs for two reading pillows. Inspired by this lovely tutorial, I drew scrolley leaves on the front panels with a pencil, and after pinning a batting layer (I used a thin white towel for the batting layer) to the front panels, I stitched over the pencil lines, using ecru embroidery thread and a straight stitch on my sewing machine. I then simply sewed the fronts and back together, and after washing and drying, to get that lovely quilted look, I filled each new pillow with the filling from the old pillows...two new pillows for only $1.00 (the cost of half of a linen panel)! I am very pleased with the results, and it feels so good to, again, use recycled/thrifted materials or items that I already had on hand, and Hubby and I are both quite happy to have our "reading pillows" back.

Oh these are gorgeous Emily and such a good idea to make reading more comfortable. I'm in the process of making some curtains out of vintage bedding. Maybe I could make some of these too if there's any fabric left. Like you I love to reclaim and reuse. Enjoy happy cosy reading time.

Giuliani pulls out of consideration to serve in administration: Trump - AOL News
Giuliani's withdrawal from consideration came after Trump made clear that he was broadening his search for a secretary of state beyond the four finalists transition aides had identified: Giuliani, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former CIA head David Petraeus and Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee.
Reince Priebus, Trump's incoming White House chief of staff, said in the statement that Giuliani "was vetted by our team for any possible conflicts and passed with flying colors." Giuliani also told Fox the vetting process had turned up no conflicts.

to africa and other places I'm going: August 2009
Tonight I chatted with a writer friend who just returned from a couple weeks in Southeast Asia. We talked about many things, of course, and among the richness was conversation about how to tell stories of people we meet in such places, that are so different from our homeplaces, without descending into unfair cliche and stereotype. How do you tell stories of far-away people and places to people back home who've never visited them? How will they understand?
Relatedly, we talked about photographs, as she considers which photos to share from her trip. She realized that in Southeast Asia she wanted lots of photos of people, but when she and her husband stopped off in Paris for a couple days, she specifically didn't want people in her photos. Was she exploiting the people in Southeast Asia?
Oh, how I understand what she's wrestling with. So many people who visit points in Africa or Haiti or other developing countries return home armed with photos of themselves posing with cute kids. I'm sorry to say that I have a harder and harder time with these photos, as well-meant as they are and as much as they populate my own photo album. And it's because of that exploitation question. That sense of white Westerner showing off the good things they're doing for the poor little kids of Africa is something I find increasingly troubling. And it's sometimes all too embodied in these photos.
The fact is that kids are easy to come by in many developing countries. To explain: particularly in warm weather cultures, much life happens outdoors. That's where children play. So they easily notice the strangers walking through their village or down their street. Warm weather cultures, where many developing countries lie, are also often very communal, so communities watch over children and children watch over each other and everyone is friendly to strangers. It's just not so easy to take pictures of children in places like France because culturally the children aren't so likely to be running around without adults hovering over them. It's just all so different. On a related side note, I think that people in India and many parts of Africa, for example, are some of the most beautiful people in the world. So photos of many of them make for stunning portraits. And that's partly why so many people are able to take compelling photos of them. But...
After working alongside a photographer while in Uganda, I've started paying a lot more attention to the kinds of photos that make their way into the literature of development and mission organizations and into newspapers and other media. My photographer friend is a very good photographer, but the reality is that I see his photos repeated again and again by other good photographers. The faces are different but the photos tell the same story. But it's not necessarily a true story.
You see, there's no way photographs can tell a whole story. In the same way movies are almost never as good as the books they're adapted from, photographs need words to give them context. Photos on their own aren't fully contextual. They can be artistic and amazing, but as sole tellers of true stories, they can be, well, misleading. Everything going on outside a picture's frame is lost, unable to be considered by the photo's viewers. All the viewer can see is the way things looked for a split second of time within the space parameters of the photo. Photographs rarely provide back story. They rarely explain what prompted the smile or frown captured by a snapping shutter. All of this missing information can tell a story that isn't true at all.
As I seek opportunities for further work abroad, I'm coming to a frustrating suspicion: I need to be a photographer in order to be certain to be sent to points outside the U.S. Photographers must necessarily shoot on location. There's no way around it. Writers, on the other hand, well, if you're looking to save on travel costs, it's much easier to ask the writers to stay home and gather quotes via email. At a loss, I think, to true story-telling. There's nothing that can substitute for being on the ground in a place, gathering the back story and the outside-the-frame action that the camera can't possibly capture.
Sure, writing has limits too. There's never space to tell everything. And some photographers do an amazing job telling stories through their lenses. But though a picture may be worth a 1000 words, as the saying goes, there are 1000 other words the picture misses. And I think it's those words, composed thoughtfully, that protect a photo subject's humanity and ward off exploitation of the poor people the world loves to photograph.

Not Counting…and Counting
October 28, 2008 / lauraofharvestlane	/ 3 Comments
I’m not counting the days until the election because I know that the outcome is in God’s hands. It says of Jesus in Colossians 1:16, “For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.” God is perfectly able to use our rulers and authorities according to His purposes regardless of who wins.
What I am counting is the wonderful blessings of living in a free country, the freedom to vote, the freedom to worship the Creator God and His Son Jesus Christ, the freedom to live where I choose within my husband’s income, the freedom to purchase delicious foods at abundantly filled grocery stores and farmers’ markets, the freedom to barter for beautiful things I wish for and for services I need, the freedom to be a stay at home momma, the freedom to teach my children at home, and the freedom to honor my God and say whatever I wish to say in my blog.
Praise God and Thank You Lord!

We are making a card game. For that we need images of 52 cards. If anybody has already done it please reply. I will need illustrator vector files of the images. The quality of card images should be very high. I expect that somebody will be already having it. So this project will be of low budget. Around 30-40 $.

Cypress Gardens - the Gardeners Blog: Hypertufa Mix updated
Hypertufa Mix by Kathy Woolsey
Remember this is not rocket science. Aggregates can be peat moss, coco peat, and perlite or vermiculite. I do not like perlite because it is white. The peat moss or cocoa peat must be sifted through ¼ inch hardware cloth to remove lumps and sticks. Hypertufa made with the classic proportions for mortar (1 part cement: 3 parts aggregate) has a composition of
For pots 1 parts cement: 3 parts aggregate or 1 quart Cement, 1 ½ qt. Vermiculite 1 ½ qt. Peat 1 qt. water
For stepping stones & bird baths 1 parts cement: 2 parts aggregate 1 part water more or less
To increase strength and longevity, polymer-fibers, liquid acrylic fortifier, and fiberglass fibers may be incorporated into the mixture. Add the fibers to a quart of water and mix thoroughly and add to the mix. Other aggregate such as sand, pebbles, sea glass and crushed oyster shells can be add but they increase the pots weight. Powdered or liquid concrete dyes can be added to the water first to tint the hypertufa to resemble natural rock. Buff, red and brown are the best colors to use. Fibers that protrude from the pot after it is finished can be burned off with a lighter.
Day 2 -Distressing ( making pots look old or wore) After you manage to get your pot out of the mold take a wire brush or file and go over the outside of your pot. This will expose the vermiculite and peat. If you do not do this your pot will look like concrete and not like aged stone.
Carving and drilling holes. The pots are still soft enough to carve with power tools such as angle grinders, dremels and electric drills. Handle with care it will be easy to break until cured. Use a tile cutting bit on the dremel.
Curing – Keep your pot damp covered with plastic in a cool place for about 2 weeks or longer. Occasionally re-wet your pot as it cures. Leave your pot sitting out for a month before planting. The slower concrete dries the stronger it will be.
