Chris recently took two work trips, one to Germany and the other to Japan. Upon his return, he could not stop raving about the schnitzel he had over in Germany. It was so good, he ordered it every night.
|Chris in love with Schnitzel
When I saw this recipe in July's Bon Appetit, I thought it would be a fun way to combine his two experiences into one meal. While I don't pan fry often, if you control the heat of your pan well you don't use that much oil, and the panko crunch kind of simulated a deep fry without all that fat.
It was also incredibly fast to make, the only prep I recommend is pounding down the cutlets to an even width around 1/8-inch so they cook evenly and quickly.
|My version
Pork Tonkatsu
Bon Appetit, July 2011
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 4 4-ounce boneless center-cut pork chops, pounded to 1/8″ thickness
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- Whisk eggs and 1 tablespoon mustard in a medium bowl. Combine panko, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a large plate. Season pork lightly with salt and pepper.
- Dip in egg mixture, then in panko, pressing to adhere.
- Working in 2 batches, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, adding 1 tablespoon vegetable oil after turning. Drain on paper towels.

Here is an excerpt from my article, "Cyberpunk: Remastered or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Postmodernism"
Change Is Good, No?
Many stories of the Golden Age of Science Fiction (GA) promised utopia—gleaming futures with flying cars, pristine cities, and Three-Lawed robots.Characters flew off to work with personal jet packs, enjoyed disease-free lives, and took nourishment from meals-in-a-pill.GA writings were mainly consigned to pulp magazines, kept safely away from "serious literature," and made to languish in the science fiction ghetto.Then rebellion hit, in a movement called the New Wave.New Wave science fiction writers mocked the GA tropes and experimented with taboo subjects such as sex, politics, the distrust of man's superior intellect, and the decline of society.They also brought science fiction into the literary mainstream with an attention to style not witnessed in the pulps, and a focus on inner man, not outer space.This New Wave rode the trend of postmodernism, which challenged and rejected the mores and principles of established culture.However, as the New Wave genre was subsumed into the mainstream, the rebellion lost steam.But as rebellions are wont to do, this one did not disappear, it merely changed form.Enter cyberpunk.
Many Genres, One Craft contains articles written by writers such as Nancy Kress, David Morrell, and Maria V. Snyder. You can order the book here.

Ship recycling is one of the most misunderstood industries in the world, according to the CEO of GMS, one of the world's largest ship traders, Anil Sharma.
"The industry is seen in a very negative light but it is actually a very green one. It is responsible recycling," he said, noting that 98 per cent of a ship was recycled.
Around 95 per cent of ship recycling is done in Asia, mostly because this is where the greatest demand for the scrap metal is. The concentration of facilities has created an entire infrastructure for recycling, with teams descending on the vessels to buy everything from the metal to the copper cables, and from bedding to cleaning supplies.
He acknowledged that there were bad yards, with the practice of scrapping ships on beaches frowned upon by serious operators.
Ship recycling, a $3 billion industry, grown in recent years, with 666 ships scrapped – 34 million DWT – compared with just 133 new builds.
There are some yards in Europe that recycle ships, mainly in Turkey, Dr Sharma said, and although shipyards could easily convert from building to scrapping, the industry could not work in isolation.
"There is considerable demand for scrap metal in Turkey but Malta would find it hard to compete with yards there as the labour costs here would be higher, and you would also need to ship the scrap," he said.
Dr Sharma was one of the high-profile speakers at the first Mare Forum held at the Grand Hotel Excelsior, Floriana, last week, that attracted an international gathering of representatives from shipping, commodities and oil and gas, as well as marine/maritime issues.
Transport Minister Joe Mizzi said the government supported such initiatives as Malta had the natural potential to become a leading maritime centre in the Mediterranean.
"I will not make apologies for being ambitious. I want Malta to be recognised as one of the most important maritime centres in the world and spread the word that we're not just open for maritime business but that we will scout relentlessly for new business around the globe," he said.
"My first frustration is simply that we do not shout about our maritime industry enough. Considering its influence and importance, it has an unaccountably low public profile. When was the last time you read a story about our maritime industry on the front page of your paper?
"If one asks me where we can find the future of a flourishing Mediterranean maritime industry, my answer is clear – in our schools and universities. One of the best ways we can secure the future is to invest in skills and training. As a former seafarer, one can expect that this subject is very close to my heart. A successful and sustainable industry needs the right people, with the right skills and rewarding careers paths to attract new entrants.
"We can all be stronger through opportunities grasped by those whose competencies reinforce our competitiveness. Skills are clearly integral to the maritime sector's future but the sector also needs a stable business and fiscal environment if it wants to grow."
The event was organised by Mare Forum in conjunction with GM International Services, whose chairman John Gauci-Maistre also referred to the efforts of states like Malta and Italy and private entities, which have put aside commercial interests, at a great cost, to carry out migrant rescue operations.

Here is a look at the Matchbox Mazda MX-5 or Miata as some may know it. From what I can see in the picture it looks very good, the thick chunky windscreen is my only gripe but this could be different when it is released. Happy to have this one alongside my Mazda RX-7's.

A Trucker's Thanksgiving
I love to cook, and at one point in my life, I had to learn to cook in a truck cab and I picked up a few tips & tricks along the way. I made a delicious Thanksgiving meal, including dessert, that any trucker can make in his cab. I would definitely have some extra bread because you will have plenty of left overs for sandwiches. I even have a secret ingredient (it's soda...but shhhh don't tell anyone). Check out the recipe and you won't believe how easy it is...
Big Rig Cooking: A Trucker's Thanksgiving
Before I let you go, you know I have to show the Trucking Nation some much deserved appreciation. In the podcast I read a poem I wrote for you all, sappy again but it's sweet, and I just wanted you know that myself and everyone here at TruckLogics is truly thankful for everything you thanklessly do to keep us going. I wish you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving, talk at you next week! - Misty Noel

Justin Verlander wants to get in on the action. Large contracts are being handed out to Major League Baseball's best pitchers like candy.
Verlander's newest teammate, Annibal Sanchez was given a five-year, $80 million deal by the Detroit Tigers over the winter. Felix "King" Hernandez then broke a record with his $175 million contract just a few weeks later.
That led Verlander to talk to Yahoo! Sports about the kind of contract he'd like to receive one day in they very near future. Verlander told the site that he would like to become baseball's first $200 million pitcher, while adding that winning is still the most important thing to him saying:
"I don't play this game to make the most money. But I do feel like it would be nice to be compensated for what I feel like I've been: one of the best, if not the best, the last few years. In my career, I feel like I've been one of the top. But the last two years, I've kind of separated myself, me and a handful of other guys. It's not a thing where I'm like, 'Hey, I want to be the highest-paid player,' where that's the chief goal. It innately comes with my competitiveness. That's just me. That's not why I play the game. I'm good at the game because of that side of me, because I'm competitive at everything I do."
Verlander talked about how free-agency is "cool" in that you can get those kind of contracts, but he also mentioned that you don't have to be a free agent to get those. The King Felix situation seems to prove that out.
The Sporting News points out that Verlander has indeed been one of the best pitchers in the league that last few years. Verlander won the AL Cy Young in 2011 and posted a 17-9 record in 2012. The Detroit Tigers ace led the American League in strikeouts both seasons.
Will Justin Verlander get his $200 million contract?

This March is set to be the coldest in the UK since 1962, weather experts have said.
Statistics from the Met Office showed that from 1 March to 26 March the UK mean temperature was 2.5C (36.5F), which is three degrees below the long-term average.
This made it the joint fourth coldest in the UK, in records going back to 1910.
The Met Office said this March was likely to be the fourth coldest on record for England, joint third coldest for Wales, joint eighth coldest for Scotland and sixth coldest for Northern Ireland.
This March joined 2006, 2001, 1995, 1987, 1979, 1970 and 1962 as years when the month saw significant snowfall.
The coldest March in the UK was in 1962, at 1.9C (35.4F), followed by 1947, 2.2C (35.9F), 1937, 2.4C (36.3F), and 1916 and 1917, 2.5C (36.5F).
The cold weather is expected to continue through the Easter weekend and into April, a spokesman said.
Full figures for the month will be available next week.

The world is a very different place from the one in which many of us grew up, and the way in which we live our lives today has found many of us hitting a wall or burning out. The world is changing so fast, and we keep speeding up to keep pace with it, believing the more we work, the more we'll get done. Disrupted by new data streams, businesses and organizations measure everything, ensuring we become lost in numbers and logic. Systems that used to enhance our lives have become disconnected from the very people they were meant to connect. Old systems from governance to healthcare and education are falling apart, and the new has not yet emerged. We get, stuck in our old ways of doing things, even when they're clearly not working. The noise of the external world is muting the sound of the internal world, and our intuition is paying the price.
The challenges we face today are both old and new: the polarization of wealth, access to education, jobs and healthcare, environmental issues, terrorism and war have been around for a long time. What's new is that technology is exacerbating these issues at warp speed and creating new issues we can't predict. There is no way that old thinking is going to be up to these challenges. We need a whole new approach to our leadership, which is not narrow in focus, but rather broad, open and wisely intuitive.
There is another way. The Institute for Zen Leadership equips leaders with the physical tools of Zen training that they can develop a felt sense of connectedness to the bigger picture, seize the opportunities in challenges, and serve people, not as other-than-themselves, but as extensions of a Self without limits. IZL helps leaders develop the courage, resilience and groundedness, find their voice, master energy, and remove fear. What mindfulness does for self-awareness, the physicality of Zen does for self-actualization by bringing desired futures into the actual present through oneself.

The Seminyak Insider, Jun 2015
Looking for that perfect spot to wine and dine your special person? Though Seminyak didn't invent the romantic dinner date for two, it sure did perfect it. From secret rooftops to live jazz, from beachfront tables to decadent entrees and desserts, you are sure to look like the king or queen of romance by making reservations for two at one of the following culinary venues —
It doesn't get much more magical than the rooftop garden at Zibiru. Candlelit tables and the intimate ambience are reminiscent of a quaint cafe in the backstreets of Italy. Live jazz on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday adds to the already romantic mood here, and it sure helps that their authentic Italian food is delicious too!

Hi guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted in forever. I've just been so busy with work, and correspondingly, incredibly tired after work despite the gorgeous weather. I posted a weekly rotation last week, and managed to wear a few products one day. (YAY!) As you know from my everyday makeup look post, I'm looking for the fastest look possible! It probably took me 10-15 minutes to apply, so I still need to work on cutting down the time. (15 minutes just doesn't fit into my morning routine!) I really liked it, so I'm definitely going to keep trying!
I am also going to continue with my lip series (Lipstick Diaries) with a post on lip care and a few recent favorites coming soon.
I'm also desperately wanting Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia cologne, and I managed to avoid splurging at the Burberry counter yesterday at the Nordstrom Trend Show. Sometimes I regret it, but I still haven't fully decided on the shades and products I want first...! (Tangerine and Earthy blush are on my list for blush, Taupe Brown and I don't know what eyeshadow shades. Any suggestions?)
Anyways, what have you guys been up to? Do you have any major wish list items you're itching to get?

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — On the eve of a pivotal academic year in Vishal Singh's life, he faces a stark choice on his bedroom desk: book or computer?
By all rights, Vishal, a bright 17-year-old, should already have finished the book, Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle," his summer reading assignment. But he has managed 43 pages in two months.
He typically favors Facebook, YouTubeand making digital videos. That is the case this August afternoon. Bypassing Vonnegut, he clicks over to YouTube, meaning that tomorrow he will enter his senior year of high school hoping to see an improvement in his grades, but without having completed his only summer homework.
On YouTube, "you can get a whole story in six minutes," he explains. "A book takes so long. I prefer the immediate gratification."
Students have always faced distractions and time-wasters. But computers and cellphones, and the constant stream of stimuli they offer, pose a profound new challenge to focusing and learning.
Researchers say the lure of these technologies, while it affects adults too, is particularly powerful for young people. READ FULL ARTICLE HERE

Traveling with ski equipment
Mr. Stix's primary concern is his ski equipment. Since he bought a SAS Go Light ticket, he needs to purchase extra checked baggage allowance. As a ski bag and a separate smaller bag for his ski boots together count as one piece of luggage, he only needs to purchase one piece of extra baggage (cost ranges from €20–35).
Additionally, as his ski bag is a larger sized sports bag (and as such considered Special Baggage, similar to golf or bike equipment), he makes sure to request space for it in connection with his booking, to assure that cargo has capacity for it.
Request space for special baggage when booking, it costs less when booked in advance.
When he gets to the airport, he drops it off at the Special Baggage counter. Since he bought his extra baggage online, he saved up to 50% of the cost compared to buying extra baggage at the airport.
WiFi can be purchased in advance
Mr. Stix knows there's a lot more to do in the mountains than spend time on his devices, so he decides to buy the on- board WiFi to send a few last emails and update his social media while in the air.
Pre-ordering food saves time and money
Mr. Stix wants to head straight to the mountains upon arrival in Zurich, so he pre-orders a healthy seasonal and locally produced meal in order to save time. The selection from which to pre-order is larger than what is offered in-flight and can be done up to 18 hours before departure.
Booking a seat can mean a swift exit
Since Mr. Stix want to spend as much time as possible on the slopes, he wants to get out of the airport as quickly as he can. Therefore, he pays €15 to pre-book an aisle seat in advance.

Cloud 9 Papercut - Periwinkle Ketubah
Artist: Enya Keshet
Aren't we on cloud 9 on our wedding day? At the peak of joy, the flowering of love, blossoming of hope, the happiest day ever… So many flowers gushing in a flare of excitement to create cloud 9.
Dimensions: 1111
Medium: Papercut
Personalization Method:
Enya Keshet was born in Pardes Hanna, Israel. As a young woman she moved to Jerusalem, where she studied at the Hebrew University and at Bezalel Academy of Art. Her friendship with a traditional scribe (sofer) led her to the idea of combining the art of paper cutting with the calligraphy of Megillot (scrolls). Her artwork has evolved extensively from this beginning. In 1994 she moved back to her hometown of Pardes Hanna, where her studio is today. A significant part of Enya's work is in the style of the Lisbon manuscript workshop, which flourished at the end of the fifteenth century, a workshop which produced the famous Lisbon Bible and many other illuminated manuscripts currently in the collections of major museums in London, Paris, and New York.

For Lesson 6 of HTML Essential Training I learned more about creating lists in HTML, which can be a very useful way to organize content. The first type of list I learned was "unordered lists". I wanted to make the items in the image below into a simple unordered list.
To do this I surrounded them in an unordered list tag. Then I surrounded each individual item in a "listed item" tag.
In the image just above, you'll see a few listed items that could use further coding to organize such as "item 3.1", "item 3.2" and "item 3.3". Since they are sub items to "Item three" I'll need to organize them further.
First I indented them in the Brackets application, which doesn't do anything to them in the browser, but it helps me organize them visually. I then take the closing listed item tag on "Item three", cut it then paste it under "item 3.3". I then wrap items 3.1-3.3 in unordered list tags to finish.
Another useful type of list that is very similar to unordered lists is the ordered list. These two are so similar that they almost share the same exact syntax with just one letter difference. To show the difference both visually in the Brackets application and in the browser I've demonstrated in the exercise files from lynda.com.
The ordered list tag can be a little more flexible by adding other attributes, like what number the list should start, or even going a step further and having the list count down instead of up.
I can even change whether the list is ordered using roman numerals or even the alphabet by using the type attribute.
The final type of list that I learned about was the "description list", which was pretty straightforward and is used in conjunction with the "definition term" and the "definition description" tags. These tags are commonly used with terms or names and their definitions.
To use these, I surround the entire list with the description list tag, each term is wrapped in the definition term tags, and the definitions are wrapped in the definition description tags like in the images below.

CEO "Resignation" Hardly Helps Lululemon Athletica Trouble: Founder to Blame
Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU) will replace its CEO Christine Day as soon as possible, probably because of a debacle that involved the shipping of pants which were too "see-through" to sell, at least to real ladies. One odd point about the transition is that the Lululemon Athletica board did not bother to find a replacement before the announcement. Day will be a lame duck, which hardly serves shareholders well. The blame for much of the trouble belongs Dennis Wilson, who owns 29.2% of the company's shares.
The other odd aspect of Day's demise is that Lululemon Athletica posted a relatively strong quarter. The stock price fell after the report was issued, but the drop was because of Day's departure. That leaves a second concern about why the change is necessary at all, and again, why Wilson would be so fickle when the company is doing relatively well.
The numbers from the most recent period:
For the first quarter ended May 5, 2013:
- Net revenue for the quarter increased 21% to $345.8 million from $285.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Comparable stores sales for the first quarter increased by 7% on a constant dollar basis.
- Direct to consumer revenue increased 40% to $54.0 million, or 15.6% of total Company revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase from 13.5% of total Company revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
- Gross profit for the quarter increased 9% to $170.7 million, including a provision of $17.5 million for inventories charged to cost of sales related to the pull-back of black luon pants, and as a percentage of net revenue gross profit decreased to 49.4% for the quarter from 55.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
- Income from operations for the quarter decreased 10% to $65.9 million, and as a percentage of net revenue was 19.1% compared to 25.6% of net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
- The tax rate for the quarter was 29.8% compared to 36.5% a year ago. The lower effective rate reflects the ongoing impact of revised intercompany pricing agreements.
- Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.32 on net income of $47.3 million, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.32 on net income of $46.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
And its forecast:
For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we expect net revenue to be in the range of $340 million to $345 million based on a comparable-store sales percentage increase of 5% to 7% on a constant-dollar basis. Diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.33 to $0.35 for the quarter. This assumes 146.0 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding and a 30.0% tax rate.
For the full fiscal 2013, we now expect net revenue to be in the range of $1,645 million to $1,665 million and diluted earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $1.96 to $2.01 for the full year. This assumes 146.2 million diluted weighted-average shares outstanding and a tax rate of 30.0%.
Most retailers would be thrilled with those same-store sales figures, so why aren't they good enough for Day to keep her job? The Lululemon Athletica board would rather have investors sweat out a transition. Or, better to say, Wilson, who virtually controls the board, is the problem.

Miss Lillian's election victory was one that most politicians could seek only on their knees or in their fondest dreams. When the votes were counted, she had racked up 10,368 while her losing opponent had a measly 41. And the story gets even better.
Among the firsts
Miss Lillian was Lillian Exum Clement of Asheville, a normally reserved, bespectacled woman who claimed she never set out to set records, but did she ever.
She was the first female lawyer in the state to open her own law office, even though she never attended law school. When she won her first criminal case, the newspaper reporter covering the trial made such a big deal of her being a woman lawyer that he forgot to name her client or the criminal charge. She became the first female member of the North Carolina General Assembly and the first female legislator in the South at age 27, even though she couldn't vote. The voters were all men because her victory was before the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
One of the first bills she introduced in the State Legislature prohibited railroads from hiring illiterates to be firemen, brakemen, and flagmen. That bill became law. She was the first lawmaker to sponsor a bill to grant voters privacy booths with a secret ballot, an act that caused an anguished outcry from the old pols who said such a policy would deny candidates an opportunity to buy votes (although they didn't use those exact words). That bill failed once but later passed.
Clement was also the prime author of legislation that:
1. Reduced from 10 years to five the time required for a woman to win a divorce from a husband who abandoned his family.
2. Mandated that yellow caution lights be added on installation of red and green traffic signals.
3. Allowed the state to take over a home for wayward (and pregnant) teens.
4. Granted the state permission to sterilize mentally incompetent individuals.
5. Required the state to conduct tuberculin testing and inoculation of dairy herds to ensure that North Carolina had "pure milk."
Of the 17 pieces of legislation she sponsored, 16 became law. Not bad for a woman who never really wanted to be in elective office. She had to be talked by men into becoming a candidate, was not overly keen on the suffrage movement, and, in fact, abandoned her public career after one term and returned home to embrace her role as a wife and mother. She might well have accomplished more in private and public life, but only four years after her historic election to the Legislature, she became ill after the birth of her daughter and died of pneumonia a month before her 31st birthday.
No one ever accused Clement of being timid or disinterested in public policy. She had ample determination, energy, and intelligence to help elevate the status of women, even though at times, she seemed to go out of her way to not call attention to her goals. When she opened her one-person law practice, the shingle above the office door listed the male-sounding name of L. Exum Clement.
Eye on the future
Lillian Clement was born in 1894, the daughter of George Washington Clement, who worked for George Vanderbilt as one of the builders of the Biltmore house. She attended a one-room school in Black Mountain until her teen years, when her father began working for the Vanderbilts and she began expressing an interest in the law. Edith Vanderbilt learned of that interest and encouraged young Lillian to pursue her dream.
That wasn't an easy path for a young woman in the early 1900s, but her doggedness was not to be denied. With only limited secretarial training, she secured her first job at age 14 as a clerk with the Buncombe County Sheriff's office. For eight years, she worked there during the day and studied law at night under the guidance of two Asheville lawyers. She passed the bar exam in 1916 on her first try, the only female in a class of 69 students, and she scored higher than most males in the class. She opened her one-person law practice in 1917 at age 23.
She impressed her fellow attorneys. The political movers and members of the bar in Asheville coaxed her into becoming a candidate for the General Assembly three years later in 1920, the same year women secured voting rights. Some speculated whether the lawyers in Asheville really felt she was the best choice or whether they felt she would be a calming influence in the controversial suffrage movement that was the hot topic of the day.
Clement was interested in aiding the cause of women, she said, but not as a trailblazer or rabble-rouser. Rather, she said, women should expect to advance quietly and with dignity. "I am by nature very conservative," she told the newspapers, "but I am firm in my convictions. I know that years from now there will be many other women in politics, but you have to start a thing."
Her first campaign fit that plan. She didn't make much of a fuss over her candidacy or the suffrage cause. She spent a grand total of $25 during her campaign to defeat two Democratic primary opponents, watched her Republican opponent quit the race, and then clobbered the lone Independent candidate.
Better eggs than stones
She went to Raleigh in January 1921, three months shy of her 27th birthday, to find that male legislators didn't know exactly how to handle her presence. She became known as Brother Exum and Honorable Exum to her colleagues with little public recognition about her being a woman, although the men of Raleigh were polite in their conversations and several offered her free dinners.
She dug into legislation with serious intent in her own quiet way even as she learned that public office has its drawbacks and voters are not always polite. One weekend while Clement was back home explaining why she wanted the state to take over the Asheville facility that housed wayward girls and unwed mothers, people splattered her with raw eggs and vegetables and called her a Jezebel for wanting to help sinful females. When that happened, Clement discarded her prepared speech and spoke sincerely. It is better, she calmly told the angry crowd, to be hit with eggs than with stones, like women from Biblical times.
"I am reminded," she told her audience as she wiped stains from her dress, "of a time long ago when people were passing judgment on a woman when weapons were not eggs but hard stones. It is not for you or I to condemn or cast the first stone, but rather [for us] to render aid to the unfortunate so they may go their way and sin no more." Those words calmed her angry audience, and a short time later, her colleagues in Raleigh approved her proposal. On another occasion, an irate voter in Asheville was so upset with Clement that he broke her nose when he punched her in the face.
Wife, mother, pioneer
It seemed to be love instead of anger, however, that brought her home after one legislative session. She married Asheville newspaperman Elias Stafford during her term in office and didn't campaign again. She retired from public office but not public life. She returned to her law practice and served as a director of the State Hospital in Morganton and as an officer of the Business and Professional Women's Club in her hometown, until she became ill.
No more women served in the State Legislature for two years following Clement's departure. But she made her mark — since 1925 there has been at least one female legislator each year. In 2010, 39 women held legislative seats, 34 in the House and five in the Senate.
Lillian Exum Clement, intended or not, led the way for others.
