Fans of "Parks and Recreation" know that Ron Swanson is a man of simple taste.
Give the park's director of Pawnee, Indiana a slab of meat, a mustache trimmer and a government that doesn't function and he is a happy man.
So it stands to reason that a man of such old fashioned values would not be a big fan of Google Maps.
But in Thursday night's episode of the popular NBC show, the character played by Nick Offerman joined the hoards of Europeans who have chased Google Maps cars out of their town.
When Swanson finds aerial images of his home on the Mountain View-based search company's website, he freaks out and does what any rational man who values his privacy does: He trashes his government-issued computer.

New treatments coming for age-related macular degeneration
Medical advancements, regular checkups can help those with macular degeneration save their sight
It wasn't anything Veronica Pyne could pinpoint, just subtle changes, but she knew something was going on with her eyes.
"I just wasn't quite sure what," said the Stamford resident, who was then in her early 60s. So, she set up an appointment to see her eye doctor, who, after examining her, quickly referred her to Dr. Richard Weber, an ophthalmologist and retinal specialist with a private practice in Stamford. It turned out she was right.
"I have both wet and dry age-related macular degeneration," she said of a condition that may cause moderate to severe vision problems as a person ages. "It's been close to 14 years."
Experts believe macular degeneration develops because of genetic and environmental factors, with age as one of the top risk factors. It is most common in people who are 60 and older, but genetic predisposition can significantly increase one's chances of developing it, as can lifestyle choices.
Research has shown that smoking and an unhealthy diet, particularly one high in fat and sugar, can increase one's risk.
"It is definitely hereditary, but you are not born with it," said Dr. Armand Daccache of Danbury Eye Physicians and Surgeons. "It develops over time."
The condition is brought on by damage to the macula, a pinhead-sized area located near the center of the retina, that is responsible for detailed and central vision, as well as identifying colors. In the dry version, fatty deposits called drusen, which normally develop as one ages, increase in size and number and can begin to damage the macula.
The dry state can transition to the wet form, which is when the macula becomes affected by the blood and fluid that leak from abnormal blood vessels that form beneath it. It eventually leads to scarring, which can cause more severe and rapid damage.
More Information
About macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration affects close to 2 million Americans.
Seven million more are at risk of developing the condition.
Cases are likely to increase over the next six years, up to 3 million, largely because of the aging of baby boomers.
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss to people 50 and older.
Centers for Disease Control
"It can be a matter of weeks," said Dr. Richard Scartozzi, also an ophthalmologist and retina specialist with Danbury Eye Physicians and Surgeons, of the speed at which the wet version may cause permanent damage to vision if left untreated.
It is why it is so important, he said, to keep up with routine eye checkups, so that doctors can observe and record changes in the eye. Not every drusen formed signals the start of age-related macular degeneration, but it can be a symptom, as is blurred vision or visual distortion. Straight lines may look wavy or bent and there may be a dark spot in the center of vision.
Although 90 percent of age-related macular degeneration cases are dry, according to Dr. David Tom, a retinal specialist with New England Retina Associates and clinical assistant professor of ophthalmology at Yale University, it is the 10 percent who have the wet who have most benefited from research and new treatment options. (Ninety percent of the wet cases result in being legally blind.)
"Fortunately, we have treatments, but we don't have a cure," he said.
Those new treatment options, which Pyne credits for saving the vision in her left eye (the one with the wet form; her right has dry), are routine injections of drugs into the eye, typically on a monthly or bimonthly basis, which stop the leakage and bleeding. In some cases, vision improves.
There are several on the market, such as Lucentis, Avastin, Macugen and Eylea, and researchers are continuing to test cell-based and gene therapies for the wet form.
Weber, who also is affiliated with Stamford Hospital, said the new therapies have given him an effective tool in not only stemming the damage, but in some cases, improving vision, when it comes to the wet. Still, he said, the "next great breakthrough," will be in new treatments for the dry form of the disease.
There is no way to prevent the dry form, though research findings, particularly those from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study, a National Eye Institute-sponsored 2001 study, found that a mix of high-dose antioxidant vitamins and minerals slowed the rate of visual loss in the more advanced cases.
But with treatments that appear to be effective for the most severe form of the disease, researchers have increasingly focused their attention on the dry form, said Dr. John Huang, an associate professor in the department of ophthalmology and visual science at Yale University.
Previous studies have determined there are genetic markers associated with the disease, and clinical trials are under way looking into various treatment options, including injections, eye drops, pills and stem-cell therapies.
"There are several drugs on the horizon that should be available in the next couple of years for dry age-related macular degeneration," Huang said.
In terms of prevention, symptoms are not always present, meaning that it becomes imperative to keep up with regular eye exams and make sure to check your vision on a regular basis, one eye at a time. Various organizations, such as the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, have free resources that can help. While nothing should replace an appointment with a doctor, one can use guides such as Amsler's Chart, a grid of straight lines used to assess any distortion. But you can also use something like a door frame or blinds, anything with a straight line. If anything appears wavy, blurry or spotty, make sure to alert your eye doctor. A healthy diet of fresh fruits and dark green, leafy vegetables also may help to delay the disease.
It was early vigilance, after all, that brought Pyne to Weber. She credits his expertise and medical advancements in allowing her to lead a full life -- one that includes full-time work, time with her family, reading and driving.
For Pyne, it is a matter of adjusting, for while the left eye has retained central vision, she has lost that function in her right, and she is partially color blind. "You truly must learn to accept and accommodate, and you can. I don't go out in 4-inch heels anymore," she said, chuckling.
Long ago, she got used to the idea of a needle going into her eye, instantly recognizing it for the painless and necessary process that it was. "Without that needle, I'd go blind in both eyes."

Jason Miller spent 16 months in what he called a principal�s ideal situation with his Lenoir County Early College High School students, but the ultimate offer came before him � and he couldn�t pass it up.
Jason Miller spent 16 months in what he called a principal�s ideal situation with his Lenoir County Early College High School students, but the ultimate offer came before him � and he couldn�t pass it up.
Friday was Miller�s last day as Early College principal. He will start his new job as the director of Greene County�s Lenoir Community College campus next week.
Nick Harvey, current principal at Rochelle Middle School, was selected to fill Miller�s spot. Harvey will finish the school year at Rochelle while Pam Heath, a retired North Lenoir High School assistant principal, serves as an interim principal at Early College.
�Every child here who knows Nick Harvey was thrilled to death when it was announced he would be the principal here,� Miller said. �He wants what�s right for kids and that is the first and foremost important thing that an administrator can possess.�
Working in public education 13 years, and being a principal for eight, Miller often wondered what his next educational post would be. The Greene County slot opened much sooner than he expected.
He told the 175 Early College students one class at a time, stressing he didn�t seek to leave the school.
�When it came up, I just didn�t think I could pass it,� Miller said of the director job. �In reflecting on what I wanted to do in the future, I thought the community college would be a better fit for me. When (the position) came open, I figured I had to move now because I didn�t know when the opportunity might be available again.�
Miller recognized that he has 17 years to retirement. While he said Early College has been an unmatched opportunity, he couldn�t refuse giving back to his hometown of Snow Hill.
He graduated from Greene Central High School and went on to ECU to earn Bachelor�s and Master�s degrees in education.
�I very much have a vested interest in Greene County,� said Miller, calling himself a lifelong resident of the area. �That�s where my family is, that�s where my friends are; that�s the community that�s always been very good to me.�
In his new position, where he will oversee everything from educational programming to personnel, Miller will be able to make an impact on the economic growth of Greene County.
He said when he and LCC President Brantley Briley discussed what the Greene County campus lacked, they concurred local needs weren�t being 100 percent fulfilled since so many people were unaware of the campus� programs.
Briley asked Miller if he was interested in the position several weeks ago. Miller said his preparations for director were simplified by what he called a competent staff already in place at the campus in Snow Hill.
He won�t be working with students in the same capacity as a director and said the Early College students are the �best in the world� because of their youthful ambition.
�For me, he made me do stuff that otherwise I wouldn�t have done and it was actually stuff I enjoyed doing,� said junior Shane Howard, citing a quiz bowl competition. �He�d walk around and make sure that everyone was happy with what they were doing.�
Miller said the size of Early College allowed him to develop a personal relationship with each of the students, gaining the teens� trust by honoring his commitments to them.
�He�s the kinds of person that if he said he was going to do something, he�d always follow through,� said Sarah Wall, English teacher. �I really admired his dedication and his organizational skills.�
Miller organized a series of folders for Heath when she arrives.
Miller said, laughing, �I�m laying out a how-to booklet; all she�s going to have to do is follow directions.�

Got your own nunchuks? Spent a day learning HTML? Get down to Shoreditch's Silicon Roundabout this weekend and get yourself a job at a startup. A waged job.
Silicon MilkRoundabout, the hiring fair for startups, hits London this weekend, and 800 jobs are going at over 100 of the "top tech startups in the UK", according to the site. It's a lineup that includes Twitter, Songkick – which is handing out "free coffees" – Huddle, Wonga, Mozilla and Moshi Monsters creator Mind Candy, which will apparently be dishing out "free fruit". No free beer?
Stats from UK jobs agency Adzuna suggest that Objective C is still the best remunerated tech skill for graduates, with graduate Objective C coders earning an average £41,327k compared to £27,585 for graduates going into HTML jobs, but "gurus" and "ninjas" are in demand too. Currently 596 UK employers are looking for "gurus", Adzuna reports, with over 70 seeking "ninjas" and one tech employer looking for a "Coding Jedi".
Apparently tech giants Google, Facebook and Twitter are most likely to word their technical jobs specs with such titles.
Salaries for jobs on offer at Silicon Milkroundabout range from £21k for a junior developer to £60k for a senior Perl developer, Adzuna reports. And yes, stock options are available: apparently 25 per cent of startups currently hiring in London are offering stock to graduate tech employees - compared to 0 per cent of banks. However average wages are significantly higher in the banking sector.
Reasons given by Milkroundabout for applying to work at a startup include:
We will use technology to solve real problems for lots of people. We build things that don't work. We iterate.
We select and streamline. We evaluate success with metrics, we judge by listening and observing.
The event will be held at the The Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, and is free but visitors need to book tickets: 1,500 are available. The jobs fair is not just for graduates and Milkroundabout is encouraging experienced IT pros to attend as well.
Saturday 26 May is devoted to Product Management, Intelligence/Analytics and UX Design (Interaction Design, Visual Design, User Research and Prototyping). The Sunday is engineering day, for those looking for jobs in Software Engineering, Web Development, QA/Testing and Tech Ops. ®

Did you know…
Paraments are the linens and cloth hangings used on communion tables, altars, pulpits and lecterns. The colors of the paraments reflect the traditional colors of the seasons of the Christian year and are changed as the seasons change. Often they are embellished with specific symbols appropriate to the Christian season.
In the Christian era, the art of embroidery as applied to church decoration is traced to Helen, the mother of the first Christian emperor.
In the seventh century, the art of embroidery was cultivated in the British Isles with much success. More than a thousand years ago, the clerics of St. Gallen, a little town in Eastern Switzerland, cultivated this art as they did other arts to the glory of God.

Why It Takes So Long
Why does it take a year for a book to go from a draft to bookstore shelves? Is it to build anticipation? Because publishers are modern-day Neanderthals, trying to make e-books by rubbing sticks together? Because authors are so precious?
The correct answer is: yes! In more detail, it's because this*:
The editor and the author kick things off by exchanging emails about how happy they are to be working with one another. The editor prepares an EDIT LETTER, which is a document describing how fantastic the book is, and how even more fantasticer it would be if the following thirty or so issues were addressed. I put EDIT LETTER in caps because it's very important. The author considers this. There is some back and forth over any parts of the EDIT LETTER that the author requires more clarification on to fully understand what kind of universe the editor must be living in to say such a thing.
The author rewrites. How long this takes depends on how much rewriting is required, and how depressed the author gets. All books have been through at least a couple author-driven drafts before they're picked up by a publisher, but obviously another pass is needed, because why else editors. An editor who says, "Fine as is!" might as well go panhandle.
Also, books at this stage really do need rewriting.
In my case, I did a lot of rewriting for my editor on Company, and the publication process took 22 months. I didn't do much on Syrup, and it took nine. So there is possibly a causal link there.
The art department begins fooling around with cover ideas, under strict instructions to not share them with anybody, especially authors.
The editor approves the rewritten draft and shares it internally with salespeople, the art department, and unrelated editors' assistants. I'm not sure why assistants; I just know every editorial assistant I've ever met has read all my books.
The editor and author begin seeking people to provide a blurb/cover quote. The first edition can't have actual reviews on the cover, because those will be received too late. But you need someone to say "MAGNIFICENT… STUNNING," so you have to hit up a fellow author.
The copyeditor prints out the new draft and scrawls arcane markings on it by the light of tallow candles using quills. This ensures the book can no longer be shared electronically, and all subsequent changes must be done by hand. This five-hundred-page monstrosity is photocopied and e-mailed to the author. Sorry, that was a typo. I mean mailed. You know. Mailed. When they physically transport something. The author reads this by light of a virgin moon, which is the only time the unicorn ink becomes visible, and accepts some changes while giving others a jolly good stet. This can be a difficult time for the author, who must defend grammatical errors as stylistic choices in order to not look stupid.
The editor emails the author a scan of the finished cover art, saying, "Everyone here loves this!" The author may object to aspects of it, if he is an ungrateful asshole who thinks he knows how to publish books better than a, you know, publisher.
The book's layouts are developed: the internal artwork, including the fonts, spacing, and style of chapter headings.
Publicity plans are developed, and final-ish decisions made on things like price and publication dates.
The manuscript is transformed into a galley, which is the final, copyedited version embedded in the layouts. When I say "transformed," I mean someone sits down with the five-hundred-page copyedited manuscript, which by now has been scrawled on by at least two and probably four different people, with additional pages inserted here and there, and some of the changes stetted and then destetted and maybe redesteted again, some of which are impossible to read because I had to use a green pencil to signify which changes were mine and I couldn't find a sharpener and I was trying to squeeze between the printed lines and thought I had enough room but didn't. This person types all that out. I have never met them, because, I assume, they are kept in a basement and fed raw fish.
The author is sent galleys of forthcoming books by authors who agreed to consider giving a blurb, in case he wishes to reciprocate, while maintaining artistic integrity.
The Advanced Reader Copies are produced, which are like galleys, but one step closer to the finished version. They're for reviewers and various promotions (a lot of Machine Man ARCs were given out at Comic Con last year), and are essentially the finished book, minus any late editorial changes, printed on cheap paper, and possibly with different cover art.
The author reads the latest galley/ARC and notices several horrendous errors that somehow escaped previous notice. He writes in with corrections.
The audio version is developed.
The author corresponds with translators attached to various foreign publishers, who want explanations for odd word choices. These will probably be published many months or even years later, and look super exotic.
The publisher pitches its quarterly list to large bookstore chains and buyers. I believe they actually sit down in a room, and the editor or marketing manager or whoever says, "Now THIS is a title we're very excited about, it's OH GOD PLEASE BUY ME by Max Barry," and they have a little discussion about the author's sales record and whether people are really interested in that kind of book any more, so that the bookstore chain/buyer can decide how many copies to stock. If they choose a low number, the book is essentially dead, because no-one will see it, and the publisher will scale back its marketing plans, because why spend money promoting a book no-one knows about. But if it's a high number, there will be renewed excitement and high-fives and a little extra marketing budget for things like co-op (payment to bookstores for favorable shelf placement). The author can tell which it is because if it is a low number, the publisher won't tell him.
Thanks to the amazing new website Random House has for its authors, I know they call this process "working with the accounts on an ongoing basis to estimate initial purchase quantities."
The ARCs go out to newspapers, blogs, magazines, and anyone else who wants a copy and has an audience of more than three people. Interview and feature requests begin to come in and are scheduled by the publicity department. Early reviews come in and are forwarded to the author, unless they're bad.
An e-book version is developed via a process involving priests and goats' blood. Not really. It's really done by re-typing the entire book from the finished, typeset manuscript. Nah, I'm still kidding. They take the last electronic document and just try to reimplement all the manual changes made since then by hand. You can decide which of those it is.
Due to piracy concerns, the e-book is closely guarded, so often cannot be reviewed by the author. Instead it is distributed to anyone with a blog and a netgalley.com account.
More reviews come in, and early interviews/profiles are conducted. The author, who has spent the last two years alone with a keyboard, begins spending large parts of each day talking or writing about himself, sowing the seeds for future personality disorders.
The publisher does whatever it is that needs to be done to ensure that tens of thousands of physical copies end up in the right place at the right time. I assume that's something.
The book is published! The author catches the bus to the nearest bookstore to discover they're not stocking it. Calls to agent ensue. The author may go on tour, which could involve dozens of cities over many weeks, or just popping into local bookstore and plaintively offering to sign copies, if they have some, like out the back or whatever.
During a book reading, the author notices a horrendous error that somehow escaped the editorial process.
The author wakes three-hourly to check his Amazon.com sales ranking.
And that's about it.

Tripping the air fantastic
No bird glides as elegantly across the skies: Revered for millennia, the crane has been Lufthansa's emblem for nearly 100 years. A portrait of the bird that migrates south each fall.
The takeoff preparations for this long-haul flight are comparatively simple: no checklists, no refueling, no catering. With proudly erect head, the crane strides across the meadow, as leggy as a giraffe and with a profile resembling a Concorde. It reaches its runway, points its beak into the breeze, registering even the slightest gust, briefly ruffles its feathers and then emits a loud bugle call, just one in the mixture of rattles, whoops and cheeps cranes use to communicate with other members of their clan.
One crane's voice is better than the chirping of a thousand sparrows
Then it's showtime: From its slightly ungainly, upright land mode, the crane moves into an aerodynamic flight position, stretches forward, lowers its long, sinuous neck and launches into a fast run, like a sprinter. Its bony legs pick up speed and its slender body shoots gracefully forward like an arrowhead just above the ground. Finally, its wings unfurl, vast feathered sails that flap elegantly, increasing its ground speed.
The crane caresses the air, shoveling it downward. With each beat, its curved wings with their fan of pinion feathers remain at their highest position for a second before the crane exerts all its might to bring them so far down again that the tips almost seem to brush the ground beneath its body. The crane gathers speed.
Only six wing beats later, it takes off. With belly perfectly horizontal to the ground and legs gracefully outstretched beneath its body, the crane soars off – without a single glance back. This bird knows no melancholy, there are no farewells to the spot of earth that fed and sheltered it for the past seven months. The urge to move on dominates every fiber of its body. If there is one thing the crane loves more than anything else, it is travel and flying.
During the fall migration, nearly half a million cranes will have flown south by mid-December to overwinter in warmer climes. They fly from Russia and Scandinavia all the way down to southern Europe, many even continuing on to Africa. On the western European migratory path alone, a population of almost 350 000 cranes is setting off for their wintering grounds.
Many of the birds fly over Germany, stopping off to rest briefly, since they need to land from time to time. They descend in swarms upon Western Pomerania, Rhinluch in Brandenburg, Luch in Havelland, the Helme Reservoir in the southern Harz Mountains and the lowland moors around Diepholz. The majority will head to a reservoir in France to take a breather and eat their fill in the surrounding fields. Then they fly over the Pyrenees toward Madrid and down to the Extremadura, to Portugal or even further, over Gibraltar to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia. There are fifteen species of this elegant bird; the sandhill crane is the most common species, followed by the Eurasian, or common, crane. Thanks to extensive conservation, cranes are thriving, and their populations increasing rather than declining. The sight of thousands of these magnificent birds flying over islands and swamps is sure to stop anyone in their tracks.
The common crane (Grus grus) is the largest bird native to Europe. It stands up to 1.30 meters tall and has a wingspan of up to 2.45 meters. The bird's plumage is light gray, with black-and-white feather patterns on its neck and a bare red crown – a most attractive flying object.
Its technical specifications are also pretty impressive: It flies by flapping its wings in slow, but very powerful motions, and makes use of thermals to gain height. Cranes can glide at altitudes of between 500 and 4000 meters, covering great distances at speeds of up to 65 kilometers an hour. Some cranes can cover distances of up to 12 000 kilometers a year, traveling the world in V formations, continually changing positions to fly in the slipstream of the bird ahead to save energy.
Cranes are capable of astonishing feats of endurance, as can be seen in their spectacular courtship dances. In 2014, scientists fitted a female with a transmitter; the data they received revealed that it took her just five days to fly from northern Belarus to the south of the Sinai peninsula, crossing the eastern Mediterranean without stopping and continuing her journey after a short break in Israel to land at Lake Tana in Ethiopia – a staggering 5100 kilometers in eleven days. Also, cranes do not require large energy reserves. They forage for berries and grains, eat insects and snails, and snack on the occasional frog.
This diet appears to be sufficient for high-altitude flight. In Asia, demoiselle cranes even fly across the Himalayas from Tibet to India. Cranes have been spotted there at altitudes of around 7 600 meters, flying for days to avoid the storm-whipped mountain flanks and then catching a favorable wind to take them over the icy massifs and down to the south. Cranes know exactly what they are doing; their ancestors were flying as early as the Tertiary, 54 million years ago. There is another reason why the crane is revered, and why Lufthansa chose it as its emblem. Few other flying creatures have such an archetypal shape: The crane's body practically represents the ideal aircraft. It doesn't have the short legs of the eagle, nor the large, clumsy feet of the albatross. Its outstretched body is like the ultimate aerodynamic fuselage, borne through the air on graceful wings.
These dancers of the air have been inspiring people for millennia. Egyptian mythology worships the crane as the "sun bird" and the "messenger of the gods"; to the ancient Greeks, it was a symbol of vigilance and wisdom, although Homer's Iliad portrays it as a ravenous predator hovering above the swamps of the Nile Delta. In Sweden, the crane is the "bird of fortune" that heralds the arrival of spring. A hero in music and painting, it soars through poetry and literature and is mentioned by Goethe and Schiller, Kleist and Brecht. For thousands of years, the crane has been used as a decorative symbol, honored as a cosmopolitan creature that effortlessly transcends all borders. The Chinese regarded the crane as "a bird of the first order," in India, it was the "most distinguished of all feathered creatures". Far more moving than all these accolades, though, is the sight of a crane in the wild. No one who has witnessed the elegant flight of a crane will ever forget the sight. Like no other bird, the crane triggers an almost archaic response … you yearn to take off and fly, too.
The Lufthansa crane: In 1918, Otto Firle, a graphic designer and architect, conceived the famous Lufthansa crane trademark. His silhouette of the migratory bird depicts the wings slightly raised, as though taking off – an apt analogy for a fledgling airline. A timeless logo, the crane emblem has remained largely unchanged for nearly 100 years thanks to the values it embodies and its symbolism. At home all over the world, cranes grow to be almost as large and old as humans, and are regarded as birds of fortune and messengers of the gods.

Popiah Skin
Today, I am posting a recipe for homemade Popiah Skin aka the thin wrapper skin for Chinese Spring rolls. Popiah is a word derived from the Hokkien dialect. A good popiah skin must be thin and elastic. They should be strong enough to wrap the vegetable fillings without breaking apart. Fresh Popiah or spring rolls are popular in Malaysia and Singapore.
Anyway, my late grandmother was brilliant at making paper thin popiah skin. I recalled when I was a kid, I used to watch her painstakingly stirred and kneaded the batter until it turned elastic. I have tried using the same method in the past; but, it was too laborious for me. So, this is a simplified method, thanks to the modern mixer. :-)
There are only 3 key ingredients for the batter. You just need to beat the batter until it's smooth and elastic. You will need a bit of practice to be able to coat the batter onto the griddle quickly in a circular motion using one hand. Click on the above video to see how I do it. In order for the batter to stick to the griddle, the temperature for the griddle has to be just right, about medium hot. I am sure you will need to fiddle with the heat adjustments a little before getting it right. Well, I will admit it is a bit of work, but I hope you will have a go at making the Popiah skin. Tomorrow, I will post the fillings to assemble a fresh delicious Popiah. :-)
Popiah Skin/Wrapper
(Printable Recipe)
800 g All-Purpose Flour, sifted
1 ½ tsp Sea Salt
800 ml Water
Combine all the ingredients in a stand mixer bowl. Stir the batter with a wooden spatula, wrap with a cling film and let it rest for at least 3 hours.
Beat the batter for about 15 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and elastic.
Place the griddle or a flat cast-iron pan on a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, lower the heat slightly. Using one hand, coat the batter and rub onto the pan. Then use the other hand to peel off the wrapper when it is cooked.
Makes about 50 pieces (7 to 8")

wow this is amazing!! i've never seen it made before...the ones you made looks perfect, exactly like the ones i see in taiwan all the time! looking forward to see the fillings ;)ReplyDelete
Thank you so much Angie!!!! This one looks simple, but wouldn't the skin get stuck to the pan since there is no oil in the whole process???ReplyDelete
@Vivienne: Thanks for the compliment.ReplyDelete
@Quinn: No oil is needed, you just need the right temperature for the batter to stick to the pan and they should come off easily. Use a wet cloth to remove any bits from the wrapper.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for this recipe! I love popiah, but have never been able to make it as I can't find the right kind of popiah skins here - but now thanks to you, I can make them myself! :DReplyDelete
Thank goodness for kitchen aids! Angie, I never ever would have thought it possible to make this - but popiah is one of my favourite vegetable dishes ever. I will bookmark and try one day. The video was a great idea.ReplyDelete

Wow! Ur popiah skins looks really good! Can u advise wht type of stovetop u used to heat the pan - gas/ electric/ induction?

this is absolutely the popiah skin recipe I've been looking for all this time. Most have eggs in it and it's all so different from what I'm used to back in Penang and the grandma days. You've made it possible for me to enjoy popiah again w/o having to go hunting for this in the markets (haven't found any good ones so far). Thank you!ReplyDelete

Wow Angie, you are really good at it ! When I was a child, I used to pass by a popiah shop and watched them made right before my eyes ! When I grew up, I don't see them anymore, I guess the trade slowly died away - too laborious. I will definitely try out your recipe one day, nowadays it's very hard to find fresh popiah skins ! When I do find them, they are very expensive !ReplyDelete
By the way, can I use non-stick frying pans, I don't have a griddle. How can I store the popiah skins so that they can last longer ? How long can I keep them ? Can I freeze them in the fridge for future use ? Thanks for sharing your recipe. -- MiniMe
@Anonymous{MiniMe}: Yes, you can use a non-stick pan. I prefer to store the popiah skin covered with a damp kitchen cloth at room temperature. I am not sure whether you can freeze the Popiah skin but I think it should be okay. You probably need to steam it first before using. Thanks.ReplyDelete

I never thought it was so easy to make the skin.. thank you for sharing this recipe. Will definitely bookmark this recipe... thank you once again.ReplyDelete
Hi Angie, I am making this today. I hope it will be successful. Can I just use my aluminium pan? I hope it works.ReplyDelete
I love making my own wrappers for everything. I made some for my duck with pancakes, my springrolls, nems and samosas. I much prefer it to store bought. I will try your way and hope it works out as i love tot ry new recipes all the time. I love your blog....ReplyDelete
This is so awesome. I've seen this made before, but haven't tried it myself. Yours all looks so perfect.ReplyDelete

Hi Angie, great recipe,ReplyDelete
however, i have problems.
1. the end of the skin always too dried and hard, it would not stick when i roll it into popiah, sometimes it breaks cos too crispy, i think maybe it's too thin but i don't know ho to make it as thick as the middle side.
2. The dough really need a nice beating to become elastic, or else, it's just a watery dough. however, the dough i made still lacking of elasticity like yours although i give it a nice 15 minutes of spinning in dough mixer. I wonder where i did wrong. should i beat it before leave it for 4 hours of leave it 1st then only beat it?
please help me, thanks
@GreenVege: Thanks for trying out the recipe.ReplyDelete
1. You have to cover the Popiah Skin with a damp cloth to keep it moist.
2. The dough can be quite tricky depends on the humidity. However, you can add 1 Tbsp of oil into the dough and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Then beat the dough for 15 minutes or slightly longer until smooth and elastic. Good luck!
- GreenVegeJuly 1, 2010 at 7:35 PM
i tried again, this time i reduce d water slightly and d dough seems good enough.ReplyDelete
however, when i rub it onto a pan, the middle is thicker than the side, is this normal?
the end also did not peel off from the pan, and the dough kinda stick to the pan for a bit.
i wonder which 1 is d problem, the metal pan? the heat? (i use medium low fire) or the dough itself?
could you please show me the picture of d wrapper close up from every angle? i want to observe the color, thickness and texture.
oh yea, the skin i made is crispy when hot but after it cool down, it becomes soft and has a chewy texture.
thanks a lot for helping me =)
@GreenVege: The middle of the skin is usually thicker than the side. If the end of the skin did not peel off, it has to be the heat problem. I am afraid I don't have any close up pictures from every angle. The color and thickness are shown on all the above pictures.ReplyDelete
- GreenVegeJuly 1, 2010 at 8:13 PM
It's white in the picture but mine is brownish. Any solution for heat problem? usually for 1 kg of flour, how many popia skin could we get? i get roughly around 45-50 pieces for 1 kgReplyDelete
@GreenVege:The popiah skin should be white and not brownish. My recipe used 800 g of flour and yields about 40 to 50 pieces. (About 7 to 8-inches in diameter.) As for the heat solution, I find that cast-iron pan is better because it heats evenly and consistently.ReplyDelete
- GreenVegeJuly 2, 2010 at 3:59 AM
The dough is fine. but now i have this problemReplyDelete
1. The edge is sticking to the pan(im using stainless steel pan). It's hard to peel it off. The cooked site is white-brownish but the uncook side yellowish. I saw in youtube they use the same pan like me but they dont have this problem, i wonder why. Any idea Angie?
2. The skin is elastic, chewy and smells like wheat. T^T not soft at all
3. The skin too thick. i tried to reduce the heat, and yes, i could make thinner skin but it took 1 minute to cook it. I saw those people in youtube, they took averagely 20 second only before the skin peeled off from the pan.
Making the skin really ma fan T^T
@GreenVege: Making popiah skin is never easy; you need lots of skill, patient and practice to get it right. Btw, I have never use stainless steel pan for making the popiah skin, so I can't really comment on that.ReplyDelete
- GreenVegeJuly 2, 2010 at 6:21 AM
i found d answer on the net though. Too cold and it sticks, too hot it will burn. i wonder if its true, gonna give it a try after this. i'll tell u how it goes though.ReplyDelete
oh ya, the crispy popia will turn soft if we stack it together like in the picture?
- GreenVegeJuly 3, 2010 at 12:59 AM
after wasting 3 kg of flour (200 gram per try), i finally get the answer. The temperature of the pan is d keypoint. too hot, it will burn, too cold, it will stick on the pan.ReplyDelete
and beating it up is important too, need to beat ti long enough until if u hold it on ur hand, it will take a nice round shape when u hold it on ur palm and did not fall in between ur fingers.
it's worth to try everyone. u might want to adjust to water from 750ml-850ml depending on d humidity level.
- GreenVegeJuly 3, 2010 at 5:49 PM
after numerous amount of trial and error, i realise that we DONT need to rest it for 3-4 hours cos this is non raising bread.ReplyDelete
usually we rest the dough for raising bread because the yeast needs time to get into action and release carbon dioxide(which makes the holes in d bread).
To make a fine popiah skin dough, just put it in a dough mixer for about half and hour. The movement of the dough will break the protein and form a 'Glutein'. a string-like polymer which does not dissolve in water. After give it a nice amount of glutein (which is related to beating speed/time), it'll form a sticky dough. How to know if its sticky enough? Hold d dough in ur palm, it should have a round shape and the dough wont fall in between ur fingers.
Oh ya, adding 10:3 of wheat and rice flour helps to get rid of the wheat smell too.
I just found your blog from hanamemories.ReplyDelete
but my version of popiah skin is by adding a or two tbs of white vinegar.
rubbing it onto the pan is really challenging.
I even burn my fingertip.
@Xana: Thanks for the comment. Yes, it's not easy to rub the dough into the pan but I am sure you get the hang of it after several try.ReplyDelete

Schroders Quickview: UK election surprise lifts investor uncertainty
A last minute surge of support for the Conservative party is now expected to lead to an outright majority for David Cameron's party - an astonishing result and totally unexpected by pollsters and betting markets.
It appears that the polarisation of the parties in the political spectrum has had two effects. The first is the decimation of the centrist Liberal Democrat party as voters moved to either Labour or the Conservatives. The second impact is a shift of floating centrist voters to the Conservatives, as the Labour Party was dragged further to the left (socialist) by the Scottish National Party (SNP), while Cameron held firm. The SNP has made spectacular gains in Scotland at the cost Labour and the LibDems, which will surely sharpen the divide with the rest of the UK and re-raise the Scottish Independence debate.
For investors, a clear victor removes a tremendous amount of uncertainty in the near-term over the ability of the government to govern and legislate, and as a result, sterling has a bounced by about 1.25% against the U.S. dollar; 2.5% against the euro, while FTSE 100 futures are trading about 1.7% higher, with strong gains in banking and utility stocks, which were under threat by Labour policy.
In time, the focus of investors will shift to the uncertainty that will come ahead of the proposed referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union in 2017, which could prompt some domestic and overseas investment to be delayed. Latest polls on the question suggest that those that want to remain in the union have a small lead, but that the majority are undecided.
Otherwise, in the near term the clarity delivered by the election will boost activity as households and businesses can take investment decisions with greater certainty over tax and regulation. Looking further out, the projected election results give the Conservatives the mandate to continue to implement its austerity plan, even if that plan has been eased in recent years. Government spending cuts are likely to continue, particularly in welfare payments where the government had sought to increase the relative gains for a return to work versus living on welfare.
With Cameron promising more money for the National Health Service and vowing not to increase taxes until the end of the decade, it makes it even more important for the government to find those efficiency savings and clamp down on tax evasion if fiscal targets are to be met. The fiscal deficit remains high at just over 5% of GDP, while the current account deficit is also close to record highs - highlighting a lack of domestic savings relative to domestic investment growth.

Israel: Heading for a Political Cliff?

Israel: Heading for a Political Cliff?
by Stephen Lendman
Middle East expert Patrick Seale knows the region well. He's covered it for over four decades. On December 4, he said:
He "rarely encountered such detestation of Israel, such thirst for revenge and such rage at its superpower patron. (It's) bubbling beneath the surface like molten lava."
How can tiny Israel "defy hundreds of millions of Arabs, Iranians and Turks and the vast Muslim world beyond? Only the United States can save Israel from the suicidal folly of its leaders."
Rage holds back only so long. Oppressed people eventually rebel. Israel's moment of truth awaits. US support delays its day of reckoning.
The longer rage builds, the greater the eventual eruption. When it comes, containment won't be possible. Rogue Netanyahu governance hastens the day. A previous article called him more mad dog than leader.
He may end up fiddling while Israel burns. His hermetic worldview may be its undoing. He threatens to take an entire nation and the region over a cliff with him.
Mindless Israelis look certain to reelect him. It's hard imagining why they support fascist neoliberal governance. They want peace, not war. Netanyahu threatens to drag them into an abyss.
They've got political strength enough to stop him. Indifference and support keeps him in power. He should be in prison, not government. The same goes for likeminded hardliners. Israel has more than its share.
So far, world opposition is tepid. Rhetoric substitutes for policies with teeth. Perhaps hints suggest modest change. It's not enough to matter but indicates hope.
On December 3, General Assembly Member States overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on Israel to join NPT and permit IAEA inspections of Dimona and other nuclear facilities.
The vote was 174 to six with six abstentions. Israel, America, Canada, and three tiny Pacific islands said no. The non-binding measure adds pressure to confront Israel responsibly.
Two resolution paragraphs were voted on separately. Both support universal NPT adherence. They called on countries not yet party to the treaty to ratify it "at the earliest date."
Washington and Canada expressed support. Israel and India alone opposed both paragraphs.
Arab nations and Iran planned to attend a mid-December Helsinki, Finland nuclear conference aimed at establishing a nuclear-free region.
On November 23, Washington unilaterally cancelled it. Doing so showed support for Israel. Netanyahu refused to attend.
Before Monday's vote, Iranian diplomat Khodadad Seifi told Member States "the truth is that the Israeli regime is the only party which rejected conditions for a conference."
He urged other nations exert "strong pressure" to force participation with no preconditions.
Israeli diplomat Isi Yanouka expressed typical Israeli arrogance. He claimed only Iran and Syria pose a regional nuclear threat. He thumbed his nose at all regional states. He fooled no one.
Syrian diplomat Abdullah Hallak said his government is justifiably angry because of "the whim of just one party, a party with (known) nuclear warheads" and long-range delivery systems.
Russia and Britain sponsored the conference. So did Washington. Obama yielded to Israeli pressure. He showed again which side he's on. Washington and Israel remain rogue partners. Their special relationship shows no signs of bending.
Following Monday's UN vote, heroic Israeli whistleblower, Mordechai Vanunu said:
"Those who are controlling world history found themselves miscalculating world events!"
"The UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling on Israel to quickly open its nuclear program for inspection and backed the Helsinki conference to ban nuclear weapons from the Middle East."
After Washington cancelled Helsinki, he added:
"The 2012 Helsinki Conference for the establishment of a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction is NOT happening as planned."
"The conveners - US, UK, UN, and Russian Federation - issued statements claiming, 'regret that the conference will not be convened this year.' "
"Why? What makes them regret?"
Vanunu knows "regret" is code language for Washington yielding to Israeli pressure. The tail keeps wagging the dog. You'd think shame alone would force change. Not so far or concern about Israeli interests harming America's.
Israel is nuclear armed and dangerous. It menaces the region. Its occupation is ruthless, oppressive and lawless. Its security forces and rabid settlers terrorize Palestinian civilians. They've been unrelenting for decades.
Israel scorns peace. It craves violence and instability. Policies this extreme assure bad endings. Israel's moment of truth awaits.
Netanyahu's heading Israel over a cliff. So far, it's with Western support. On Wednesday evening, he met Angela Merkel in Berlin.
Nothing more than rhetorical displeasure with his policies followed. A senior German official said she considers Israel's security "sacred." She wanted the meeting.
It's supposed to have been about science. It was very much about expressing solid Israeli support. Palestinian rights got little more than lip service.
On December 4, Der Spiegel headlined "This Time, Israel Has Defied the Whole World."
Not enough to do anything about it. That's the sad reality. Netanyahu should have been disinvited. Germany and other EU states should recall their ambassadors, suspend relations, and impose stiff sanctions.
Initially strong British, French and German rhetoric cooled quickly. Threats about withdrawing envoys were reversed. Business as usual continues.
Europe solidly backs Israel. Pressure applied is so weak it's embarrassing. German broadsheets were quoted.
The Financial Times Deutschland wrote:
"One can only encourage the chancellor to use Netanyahu's planned construction of settlements in the West Bank as an opportunity to take the hardliner to task."
"Because what Netanyahu is planning makes a two-state solution between the Israelis and Palestinians impossible."
"Clearly Netanyahu doesn't want a Palestinian state." Given Germany's Nazi history, Merkel "must choose her words carefully."
"That history obligates Germany to criticize the repressive measures taken by a government like Netanyahu's."
America's ugly past warrants similar obligations.
The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said:
Netanyahu seeks revenge. "Israel's settlements on Palestinian land are a violation of international law, against which the Palestinians could take action within the framework of the United Nations."
Netanyahu's "government is creating facts on the ground indicating a creeping annexation of the West Bank. The prime minister is provoking both the Palestinians and the international community."
Süddeutsche Zeitung said:
"This is typical of the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, but it's not clever. Revenge is never a good counselor -- and in the end the damage to Israel could be greater than to the Palestinians."
Netanyahu "defiance and megalomania" heads Israel toward "growing isolation."
Die Welt added:
Israeli punishment of Palestine "is likely to lead to long-term international isolation of Israel." Germany objected without enough muscle to matter.
Merkel knows Netanyahu spurns peace. He refuses to end occupation harshness. He keeps stealing Palestinian land. She, other European leaders and Obama do nothing to stop him.
Nor does longtime collaborationist Abbas. Policies on his watch fall far short of confronting Israeli lawlessness. Rhetoric substitutes for supporting his own people.
He said E1 construction crosses a "red line."
"If the project is implemented, we will use all legal and legitimate means to stop it, and we have something to say and do about these dangerous decisions," he said.
He also said he'd pursue ICC action if Israeli leaders commit aggression. He did nothing after eight terror-bombing days. He ignores daily Israeli crimes. He's complicit as Israel's enforcer.
He's done nothing to stop exponential settlement expansions on his watch. Legitimate resistance does all it can. Over time, Netanyahu's extremism may accomplish more.
World leaders may tire of his double-dealing. Washington one day may feel the same way.
The combination of fascist leaders, fanatical settlers, and religious zealots sharing power makes Israel a classic pariah state. It's the worst kind of neighborhood bully.
It redefines rogue governance. Patrick Seale said "the whole world knows" Israeli hardliners "want land not peace."
Perhaps Israel's writing its own epitaph. Arab countries once had seven diplomatic missions in Tel Aviv. Two remain.
At issue is for how long. Palestinian ambassadors may be more welcomed. Israeli ones may lose support. Change won't come easily or soon. Liberation is well worth waiting for.

The case for sanctions on Iran
On Iran
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will speak in the coming days at the U.N. General Assembly in New York where he will preach his hatred of the United States, the West and Israel. The backdrop of his speech is the looming likelihood of Iran becoming a nuclear power. The Obama administration, in concert with U.S. allies, must intensify its efforts at the United Nations to bring further sanctions against the theocratic rulers of Tehran to maximize the prospect of a peaceful resolution and to prevent the regional and global destabilization that would come with an Iranian nuclear arsenal.
According to a recent U.N. inspection report, Iran is steadily stockpiling enriched uranium, even in the face of toughened international sanctions. This report raises new worries that Iran's nuclear program cannot be adequately monitored. The International Atomic Energy Agency said that it cannot confirm quantities of certain nuclear materials and has a growing list of unanswered questions about enrichment sites. Iran recently decided to eject two IAEA inspectors.
The Islamic Republic of Iran's record is abhorrent. Iran's support for Hamas and Hezbollah led to two major wars in Lebanon and Gaza in the last four years. Iran sponsors international terrorism, foments conflict throughout the Middle East, ignores its obligations under multilateral treaties, undermines the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, interferes in Iraqi and Lebanese politics, suppresses the human rights of its own citizens, aids anti-U.S. fighters in Afghanistan (Iran is paying Taliban fighters $1,000 for each American soldier they kill) and threatens U.S. allies in the region. An emboldened nuclear-armed Iran would make matters much worse, creating a nuclear umbrella under which Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorists will feel free to act with impunity. Such a state of affairs could end up in a major regional conflict.
The prospect of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons and obtaining the ability to launch missiles against countries throughout the Middle East, and even Europe, should alarm every American. Iran-sponsored terror networks, particularly Hezbollah, have a long history of targeting Americans and U.S. interests. In 1983, with Iranian support, Hezbollah killed 241 Marines as they slept in their barracks in Lebanon. Furthermore, Argentine prosecutors have accused Iran for the bombings in Buenos Aires of the Israeli Embassy (1992), which killed 29 people, and the Jewish Community Center (1994), which killed 85 people.
While openly denying the reality of the Holocaust, Iran's leaders repeatedly threaten to destroy Israel, a U.N. member state, while building nuclear weapons to make this possible. Arab states, too, are also warning that Iranian nuclear ambitions will provoke a regional nuclear arms race, and destabilize global security.
For me, this is a personal matter. My large extended family lives in Rehovot in Israel's densely populated center. Iranian-supplied missiles fired from either Lebanon or Gaza now put my family directly in the sights of Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists.
The Obama administration must use all diplomatic and economic means necessary to deter Iran from continuing its quest for nuclear weapons. Sanctions are intended to target the Iranian regime, particularly the energy sector, not the Iranian people. For the sake of regional stability and a successful Middle East peace process, Iran's nuclear weapons program must be stopped cold. The consequences are too dire to contemplate.

Living In London – City Fashion
When you're moving to London and know that you're going to be living in London for a few years, it can be a tough choice to decide what clothes to take with you. If you're moving from a sunny climate, then your t-shorts and shorts are just not going to cut it in a wet London winter, and even your elegant lightweight coats will not do much against the weather that you'll be facing when you're living in London. That said, you don't want to rush out and buy yourself Arctic weather clothing either because you'll suffer in unbearable heat even in winter.

A personal version of Basecamp, the well loved project management system for businesses, is out now for $25. Project management software sounds boring and staid and zzzzzzz and that's probably about right, but it's also crucial to, like, getting anything done, so this is nice for anyone who's got personal side projects they want to keep tabs on.
The $25 is a one-time fee, and a lot cheaper than the business version, but you'll have to re-up for another $25 if you want to start a second project using the personal version. For now, it's only available to current Basecamp users, but 37signals' site implies that'll change after a few months. [37signals]

2009 Goodguys Pleasanton Show - Pleasanton
Home Of The Good Guys
Wandering off Interstate 580 into the city of Pleasanton, California, for someone who has never been to the place, it can appear like the Twilight Zone's "A Stop at Willoughby" episode and the shopping scene from The Stepford Wives has been spun into an antiseptically correct theme park for Yuppies. Drive a little deeper beyond the stark blandness of corporate business parks towards the Alameda County Fairgrounds and the town's over-sanitized veneer gives way to the rumble of American horsepower, and bright candy colors. At least that's how it was when we rolled into town for the Goodguys' 16th annual get-together held May 30-31, 2009. It was definitely a case of you can't judge a book by looking at the cover. Sure, there were a lot of tasty hot rods and customs that drove from afar to attend, but we also met a bunch of local folks who drug out some pretty amazing vintage tin as well. The trick to enjoying either one of the events held by the Goodguys in their hometown is to see past the futuristic baloney and get ready to enjoy some old-fashioned custom car show fun: For more information log on to www.good-guys.com.

Hi Kay ! I don't have a clue if the text below is relative to your family..., you to do the research ! For myself, it has been an interesting find as I have a Campbeltown Hawthorn in my family. And although I stand to be corrected..., I'm wondering if I've not seen reference to a certain "O'Drain's Land" somewhere. ("Land" referring to a building) Could be mistaken !
The following info comes from "Kintyre... The Hidden Past" by Angus Martin. (1984) A must; to buy.
"HAWTHORN. Probably from Irish Ô Dreâin - a family first in co. Roscommon, but later, by enforced migration, found in Ulster with the anglicised forms Adrain, o Drean and Drean. Hawthorn appears to have been a Kintyre pseudo-translation, droigheann in Gaelic being 'hawthorn'. Neither (O)Drain nor Hawthorn survives in Kintyre.
John odrain in Knockmurran (southend) in 1797; John, son of Duncan o'Drain and Mary McConochy, born 12.2.1799; Flora Drain, widow (80), at New Orleans in 1851, with her son Duncan (43), a farmer of 15 acres, and a l2-year-old servant, Marion McCallum; Catherine Drain or Hawthorn, mother of poor relief applicant Isabella McKeich, who was born 10.12.1833 in Campbeltown; Neil Hawthorn, rope-maker, Campbeltown, son of Donald Hawthorn, sailor and Catherine McEachran, died 28.9.1856 aged 74."

Quite simply, it is the house that you may have once designed in your head and thought 'no, it's just not possible I could ever live in a place like this.'
An incredible traditional riad with the atmosphere of a backpackers' hostel. Riad Dia is located less than a minute from the main square, Place D'Jeema el Fna. With a lovely circular swimming pool in the communal courtyard - colourful, sunny and social - lots of dorm rooms (and these are no ordinary dorms - they are seriously luxury - and several terraces to sunbathe, relax and do some serial tea drinking!
The riad is traditional - but the colours are bright and wild! It is an inside out, upside down, topsy turvy house. The gardens are indoors, you can even do some fruit picking (you'd have to be pretty tall though). Sit amongst our courtyard gardens with fellow travellers and new friends; make crazy plans for your travels - they will definitely become realities. Or don't make crazy travel plans! Just enjoy our unique atmosphere, fabulous staff and all the inhouse activities that Riad Dia offers - cooking class, excursions, dinner parties, Gnaoua music evenings and random birthday celebrations. Riad Dia can do anything - and remember - it started out as your dream home that you designed in your mind on a cold, rainy day.

This is not only the first cluster competition for the team from the University of the Pacific, but also the first time any of the students have done anything at all HPC-related.
Under the mentorship of Oak Ridge National Lab and their hardware sponsor Appro, the team gave it their best against much more experienced competitors. They posted a respectable 2.33 Teraflop/s LINPACK, which was good enough to put them into fourth place going into the application round of the competition.
On the scientific apps, Team Venus was, as they put it, "Either strong or struggling." While they all have computer science backgrounds, they don't have much (if any) experience in running large-scale scientific research applications. But they persevered and busily worked to get their 'struggle' apps functioning at a reasonable level.
Team Venus is also noteworthy because it's the first all-female team to compete in an SCC. This attracted a lot of attention and helped shine a brighter light on women in STEM fields, and on the cluster competition in general.
But they aren't the first female competitors. Over the years, many teams have had female members and coaches. The Asian teams have had several females on their teams, and Team Taiwan's player/spokesperson is usually a female. Team Russia (2010 and 2011) had a female coach and female team members, and teams at the ISC'12 SCC also sported women competitors.
Although HPC and computing in general is predominantly made up of humans of the male persuasion, it's a mistake to say that it's completely male-dominated these days. There are many women engineers, researchers, and scientists. The male-female ratio isn't 50-50, but it's not 90-10 either, and over time it continues to change.
Aside from Team Venus, I think there were four or five women on the SCC teams this year – about the same number as in 2011 and 2010. I don't have accurate stats on female participation because it's not something I've been tracking; my coverage focuses on team and individual personalities, what they've built, and how they deal with the challenges presented by the competition. To me, that's the interesting stuff. And Team Venus, regardless of gender, was an interesting team to observe and definitely added some personality to the 2012 SCC.
