I'm not sure it's CS to be honest, I randomly remember seeing the older version in an arcade (but then again I've probably gone to one in every city I've visited, so probably not in Tokyo).
Also it felt way too similar to Guilty Gear to warrant a whole new game. I need to presume the devil is in the details? (As it always happens with these games).
Maybe I just need to read about the system, lol. As it stands I miss good ol GG I understood the ins and outs of.
EDIT: meh, that link to DL forums is informative but it doesn't really summarize the system for me. I need to do my own research...
EDIT2: Actually I think I won't bother with BB since it would take way too long to be competitive anyways. I think I'll just pass on the fighting games and play the fuck out of Mushihime-sama Futari in the days I'm stuck here or something.

BB is actually a little simplified from GG in my view. Then again, i was never that hardcore about GG, since i never bought any revisions of XX.

I've been fiddling around with Rachel for the better part of an hour and she doesn't seem all that powered down in Continuum Shift to me. The biggest difference I've noticed is how her Sword Iris trigger is now a quarter circle instead of a command move, but if anything it just makes it easier to pull off in the heat of things. The pumpkin now stays on the screen when you Silpheed it meaning I've been able to smack it back and forth across a character up to 3 times while also whacking them with up close combos. Chip damage at it's best.
George XIIIth no longer hops and seems to slowly waddle towards an opponent, but I've had no trouble still finding uses for it. It helps to chain someone into it's range and let it do it's work. It also has a brief timer before being able to use him again, but honestly it's like a second or two, nothing major.
Terrible prose, yet lovably awesome nonetheless.
I think I'll try Taokaka and Jin out next to see what's different.

The pumpkin has always been 'windable' for 3 times, the reason they're staying on screen now and not last time is that their flying distance has been cut down by half. Their hit stun and damage has been greatly reduced as well. This makes them even more difficult to play around with.
And besides command changes to Sword Iris, a Rachel player should recognise 2 most important things, 6b (The Fork) and j2c (falling down from the sky) is no longer as comboable as before. Especially The Fork, which is completely useless now. Any good Rachel would know that these 2 attacks are Rachel's most important tools.
To move George you have to blow him around, quite useful to slide it under an opponent. Other than that you can still do frog combos.
And saying Rachel is not powered down is a very bad observation lol, she went from the one of the highest damage dealers to the lowest.

I've fiddled around with CS in my local arcade... ate up a lot of dollars to say the least. Jin's still my main for the most part, but I've shifted from Noel to Tsubaki as my sub now. I've got some reservations about a couple of the balances, but so far I've made it work... except against Ragna, God I hate Ragna now <_<

I'm a fan of 2D fighting games, and if this is spiritual successor of Guilty Gear, I'll probably get it. I'm only concerned that there are only 12 playable characters which is, a bit few to me. Hope there are other offline modes that will keep me going.

12 is plenty to me, since I still haven't gotten a good grasp at my favorite characters yet.
Beside, most of people love its story mode, so yeah, there is something good in offline mode, too.
But honestly, I don't think there you should buy a fighting game to play alone, though =/.

Yes this game has extremely specialised characters that you can spend alot of time on, each of them has a completely unique style of play. Not everyone is able to handle multiple styles and probably would choose to just stick to one character.

Haku-men is my best character. If I'm allowed Haku, everyone is basically screwed. Everyone I know that -would- challenge me at Blazblue stopped because of that. Now only if I could fight online and in ranked matches. THEN I could actually gauge my skill.
I also play Blazblue for the story and to beat Bang up. That guy needs to learn to use 'vanish jitsu' more often... Preferably permanently.

what are we talking about here? continuum shift or calamity trigger? for some reason, when i'm playing online, i always get lag. like a noticeable delay between pressing a and having the punch come out. so my online win % is like 10% haha. that said, i'm not hardcore enough to buy a stick.
even then, if i had CT Nu, i would probably be able to rock a lot of people though from what i played of /\ when i was in toronto, she's a lot more diverse than before. the parsers definitely help.

CT, since I've yet to pick up CS. (Believe me, it pisses me off more then you think.)
Since you have experience playing CS, what is Hazama like? What is the total reach of ouroboros? Distortion finish? Astral Finish? What does his story detail? (remove spoilers as much as possible... like, who is the 'final fight'?)
I know, I'm like a wide-eyed lil' kid wondering why the sky is blue. xD

i never played Hazama or played against Hazama while i played, but i have watched so many match videos that i can say his chains go pretty much full screen, maybe one character short of full screen. the counter is pretty much pointless, since it regens so fast. he has one distortion that's used a ton more than the other because it has DP properties. his astral looks like its animated in the 80s, complete with poorly drawn 3d snakes..

Don't shop: Durkee's message to NYC
When Savitri Durkee left Charlottesville in 1997 to head for the Big Apple, she hoped to find opportunities for dance, theater, and self-expression.
But after the 2000 presidential election, her disillusionment with the state of politics and the arts mounted. When she met 52-year-old performance artist and activist Bill Talen, the 32-year-old Durkee, one of the original members of the Zen Monkey dance troupe, found herself at the center of a zealous anti-consumerism movement, The Church of Stop Shopping.
Along with Talen, a.k.a. the Rev. Billy, and a 25-member choir, Durkee has organized countless "actions" in a variety of corporate settings. Those corporations are none too appreciative; in fact, the Rev. Billy and his congregant chorus have been banned from all Starbucks, and Wal-Mart is no great fan either.
On October 13, Talen faces stalking charges stemming from an April incident at an L.A. Starbucks.
"They use violent boyfriend language," says Durkee with disgust. "He's no longer allowed to stalk the victim, Starbucks."
A recent New York Times article details the group's M.O.
Following a brief skit in an L.A. Starbucks involving two women, one of whom announces she's received a corporate endorsement deal for her love, the Rev. Billy bursts onto the scene. And quite the scene it is, according to the Times' Jonathan Dee.
"He is 6-foot-3, impossible not to look at in his white suit, clerical collar and dyed-blond pompadour," writes Dee. "'Hallelujah!' he shouts through a white cardboard megaphone as he bursts through the door. 'This is an abusive place, children! It has landed in this neighborhood like a space alien! The union-busting, the genetically engineered milk, the fake bohemianism! But we don't have to be here, children! This is the Good News!'"
Such actions– including one at Ground Zero– typically happen once a week, says Durkee, who explains that she and Talen– to whom she is now married– pay their rent by teaching at various universities. Their cross-country trips are funded primarily by private donors who support the cause.
"We're too political for most arts funding," she explains, "but not mainstream enough to get political funding."
Last year the Rev. Billy gave a "sermon" as part of the Fringe Festival, an event associated with the University of Virginia's Film Festival. So will Charlottesville play host again?
"I'd love to bring the whole choir down there," Durkee says. "Charlottesville is ripe for that kind of thing. The gentrification is mind blowing."
Savitri Durkee: She shopped 'til she stopped.

So, I find that being in the closet sucks. Too much energy and shame gets devoted to pretending I am someone I'm not.
I want out of the lie.
Problem is...I have insanely religious extended family. And I don't care to argue with them about hell-fire, nurture vs. nature, scripture, or praying away the gay.
They're visiting this week. I'm not going to make an announcement or take people aside to talk about it. I've decided not to hide all my queer stuff (books, pictures, etc.) up in the closet, as I usually do. I've also changed my facebook bio to include my orientation. If questions arise, I'm not going to prevaricate; I'm just going to be honest. If there are any lead-ins to a discussion about who am I seeing, etc., I'm going to come out. Usually I dodge the issue or lie.
I would rather not let on that I'm an atheist at the same time. That might be tricky if they get all religulous about things.
I hope this doesn't end up causing a huge rift. My parents don't deserve that. I might become persona non grata for a couple of years. I don't care that much. I won't tolerate disrespectful comments or bigotry though.
FSM, I'm nervous!

Hmm, I think it's going to be tough, but worth it. I'm not gay, and I'm not admitting to my fundamentalist mother that I'm an atheist, that would be the end of our relationship, but even just admitting to myself I'm no longer a Christian or deist felt great, and I think my whole outlook has become more positive, so your experience will be 100x more significant, and I hope all positive. I expect you'll find allies and enemies amongst the wider group, inevitably.
Thanks for everyone's advice and support. I am so stressed about this. I haven't been talking about it much and it is so nice to be able to come here "type it out." My parents (a lapsed Catholic and lapsed Baptist to Catholic convert) already know I'm bisexual/queer/whatever(lol). My parents think it's a bad idea to let the rest of the family know. I don't know if they say that out of embarrassment or because they want to protect me.
I figure people already suspect something is up. I don't act like a very feminine woman despite my affinity for jewelry and make-up, and people typically stereotype women like me as lesbian. The difficulty with being attracted to women, men, and other people (that's why I call myself queer instead of bi) is that it's hard to explain to binary thinkers--people who think you're either gay or straight...there's no concept of asexual, pansexual, or queer in their minds. I've also had people ask me why I don't just ignore being attracted to people who aren't male. The "choice" question is harder to navigate when you're queer...I say I have no choice in who I'm attracted to but I do choose not to suppress queer attractions because it's healthier to be who I am.
Time to go decorate and clean.
May I suggest: before they come out, a singing telegram?
To the tune of "I'm Late" from Disney's Alice In Wonderland:
I'm gay, I'm gay, in a very definitive way.
No time to explain. Get it in your brain
That I'm gay, I'm gay, I'm gay.
It went...alright. Grandma said she thought I would say I'm gay. After which she spoke of her appreciation of women's legs. Grandpa was silent except to agree about her hobby of appreciating women's legs. Then they began to talk about an old family friend who divorced three times. I had no idea what they were doing...but I figured their abrupt change of subject was not that big of a deal.
Later that day my little cousin would exclaim "that's disgusting" when he found out about two men dating. Grandpa said, "that is disgusting." Grandpa got up and moved when I sat next to him and was more than eager to leave early. I'm a little bit peeved that he's behaving with such passive aggression instead of talking to me.
I think your Grandpa needs a bit longer to come to terms with it. His generation were less accepting of homosexuality. Now he has a conflict going on in his head. Sounds like your Grandma will help him sort himself out.
how do you feel now its out? Are you ok?
Thanks for asking Strega. You are such a sweetheart! I hope you're right. Grandma rules the family and her word is law. Well...I guess I'm ok. I've had some bad days and some good days but overall I am doing well. I just have to keep things in perspective and give it time, right?
I felt intensely relieved directly afterward. That night, I had a trippy dream about finding some rotten cake underneath some newspapers in a strange bedroom and being so happy to be able to clean it up...in the dream, the cake was something that had been stinking up the place and bothering me for years, but I never could figure out the source of the stench. The next morning I had a good laugh at how obvious my subconscious had been. I mean, really? I guess I got a dreamworld peak at my subconscious' architectural rendering of my psyche--which is pretty damn bizarre--can't say I liked the place. So, I was really emotionally relieved, on many levels.
I didn't have time to come out to all branches of the family. Perhaps gossip will take care of that for me... I do wonder if my aunts and uncles will want me to hide my orientation from their kids. That kind of has me a bit worried. Obviously, I'm not about to get graphic in front of them, but I don't want to hide the innocent things anymore.
This last week, I got a crap haircut and then tried to fix it with another crap haircut. I was freaking out. I got so fed up with crap hairdressers that I trimmed it myself and will now have to wait for the damage done to grow out. Oh well. I have a very short, moderately "lesbian" style. So, there's another coming out for me, too. I feel pretty comfortable "looking the part" but still being in Kentucky, I feel a lot of pressure to conform. I feel like I have to compensate for the butch hair-do with feminine clothes/jewelry/make-up/etc. or I'm going to catch a lot of shit from haters...sad to say, but I don't want to be in the wrong place at the wrong time looking like myself. I still fem it up for work too. Business casual meets drag. :) It's such a line to walk, being true to yourself and protecting yourself from discrimination.
Coming out has pushed me past a place of stagnation too. I feel a bit freer--even if it is just the freedom to step up to the plate in other areas of my life. I'm glad I did it. Even if I end up with a hetero marriage--being out is worth it to me.
Well. This post makes me think I should keep a journal. Damn.
Hope you don't mind me posting here months later, I just wanted to say thank you for an inspiring story.
I love that dream. Your sexuality was a cake, something delicious and wonderful, but it (the situation) became rotten and smelly because it was hidden so long...
I can't begin to compare myself to you. I imagine if I ever come out as atheist to my parents, it won't be much like if I was coming out gay (I'm not gay). But still...when my folks are coming to my apartment, I have to hide all my atheist books, take the beer out of the fridge and hide it in the closet. When I go home for the weekend, I usually clear the browser history in my laptop because it's full of atheist sites.
Hope you're keeping that journal. Doing that has been quite helpful for me. The best part is going back and seeing how your thinking has grown and changed.

'Any other president would be impeached'
Exclusive: Kathy Shaidle recaps top discussions on air
Michael Savage
This week, everyone was talking about the Missouri State Fair rodeo clown who was punished for wearing an Obama mask.
However, Dr. Savage was the only talk radio host who wondered if the clown "was a Democratic Party set-up" to distract attention from the president's many scandals and blunders (FREE audio).
Savage also condemned "the goofball in the White House" for sending his dog to Martha's Vineyard on its own helicopter (FREE audio).
"Any other president would be impeached on the spot for such a slap in the face to our military and to the nation," he declared.
And that's just the beginning! Get "Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama from Office" – autographed by the author – from the WND SuperStore!
Rush Limbaugh
"I'm too famous to moderate the GOP debate," Rush Limbaugh declared (FREE webcam).
He was commenting on rumors that the Republican Party may hold an alternative presidential debate moderated by conservative talk radio hosts instead of the usual liberal TV network reporters.
Limbaugh also put the so-called "rodeo clown" controversy in context, noting.
"Obama going on a comedy show to tell us something very serious about foreign policy, and I said this is diminishing the office of the presidency. … I would suggest to you that whatever the truth of this thing is in Missouri, the clown putting on the Obama mask is representative of the fact that there is a declining overall respect for the office of the presidency" (FREE audio).
Aaron Klein
In an exclusive interview, Aaron Klein spoke to the leader of al-Qaida in the Gaza Strip (FREE audio).
The two talked about the closing of American embassies around the world and where foreign jihadists currently fighting in Syria will go next.
Klein also reported on the thousands of illegal alien prisoners set free by Obama – and what he feels is the greatest national security threat facing the United States at this time. The answer may surprise you
Mark Levin
Mark Levin's new book "The Liberty Amendments" debuted on Amazon in the No. 1 spot.
The book "urges Americans to embrace a 'constitutional revival' and lays out 11 specific prescriptions for restoring the country's founding principles."
Writing about "The Liberty Amendments" in USA Today, Glenn Reynolds notes that Levin "proposes a range of constitutional fixes, ranging from term limits to repeal of the 17th Amendment to a provision – I really like this one – moving Tax Day from April 15th to 'the day before the date set for elections to federal office,' among others."
Laura Ingraham
What does Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' purchase of the Washington Post mean for the future of newspapers? Ingraham talked about this with Matthew Continetti, editor-in-chief at the rival Washington Free Beacon.
Continetti speculates that this move represents "Silicon Valley oligarchs finally using their money to get into partisan politics. … They need to be held on the same level as the Koch brothers; just because they make their money in a different way, doesn't mean they are any less partisan."
U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Joe diGenova told Laura he was "absolutely stupefied" by Obama's disclosure of a sealed indictment related to Benghazi.
"The president cannot unseal an indictment," diGenova explained. "I'm still waiting for the outcry from people in the legal community who think that [Obama] is Baby Jesus to say something about the fact that a so-called constitutional lawyer violated a sealed court order" (FREE audio).
Glenn Beck
For years, Glenn Beck has jokingly referred to himself as a "rodeo clown." For obvious reasons, he had a lot to say about the "controversy" at the Missouri State Fair.
Liberals are trying to silence satire and dissent, Beck said, because they know the country "is about to fall apart. Today I declare myself officially a rodeo clown. We are all rodeo clowns" (FREE webcam).

When Caron Ory's father was diagnosed with diabetes and struggled to stop eating sugar, the trained dietitian told him not to worry. "I'll create something for you," she promised.
Through two years of research, trial-and-error recipes and taste tests, Ory came up with Eco-BeeCo, a natural sugar alternative with a tad of freeze-dried honey that passed her requirements nutritionally and her father's culinary muster.
But when Ory wanted to share her product outside family and friends, she ran into a hurdle.
To sell the product she developed in her home kitchen, California law required her to contract with a commercial kitchen to produce it.
Instead of building a small market and gradually making the transition to large-scale distribution, Ory's only option was to invest $35,000 to blend 6,000 pounds of Eco-BeeCo without ever selling a pouch of it.
"I spent thousands, and it was a big, big, big risk," she said. "I didn't even know my product was a big seller, and here I am blending 6,000 pounds."
But that hurdle recently disappeared.
In October, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 1616, a law allowing Californians to make and sell certain non-hazardous foods out of their kitchens.
Foods that don't include cream or meat, such as bread, fruits, baked goods, jarred goods and dry mixes — like Eco-BeeCo — could all bypass commercial production and be sold straight out of a home kitchen, according to the law.
When Ory heard the relaxed requirements would start Jan. 1, she looked for a way she could help others get their products off the ground without making the upfront investment she did.
"Everybody has a recipe; everybody has a signature recipe that they make and people rave about," Ory said.
So, on March 2, Ory, a Fountain Valley resident, will teach a class from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa about AB 1616 and the business of starting a cottage industry out of a home kitchen.
She'll guide students through the basic business side, including a product assessment, pricing and packaging.
She'll also outline the new law, she said.
After her class, students will still have to apply for a permit and take a basic food-handling course to get state approval.
Ory hopes she can be a mentor to her students though as they go through that process after the class.
"With the state of California, it's kind of like a moving target right now because it's a new law," she said.
Eco-BeeCo survived the gauntlet of commercial production.
It's now available at Whole Foods locations in Southern California and other grocers across the country.
"My dream for all of these people is they can do what I did." Ory said. "I just don't want them to do it with the risk I took on."
Sign-ups for Ory's class are still open under the "Community Education" portion of OCC's website, orangecoastcollege.edu.

Motley Crue to Drop by CNN's 'Piers Morgan' on Thursday for Big Announcement
Motley Crue is dropping by the 'Piers Morgan Tonight' show on CNN on Thursday, Dec. 1, at 9PM ET to announce some big news, and leading up to that, they are dropping daily clues for fans to keep them guessing.
The first clue was simply the word 'MOST' sporting the signature Motley umlaut over the 'O,' with the 'S' showcased in red while the rest of the text was black. Check it out below.
Today, Nikki Sixx posted another hint on his Facebook page, saying, "Your guesses were good for something else, but not for this. If we went back in "history" and it was a rattlesnake it would of bit you in the ass. The hint couldn't be any clearer if it was the nose on your face. Let me make this clearer for you, any ideas now?"
To accompany the hint, he posted a photo of himself sporting shades and wearing a t-shirt that said, "Headless Body in a Topless Bar."
Speculators think the announcement may have to do with the rumor that the band has inked a deal with the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel for a residency that would see the band playing a series concerts at the casino, as reported by the Las Vegas Sun.
But anything is possible. Perhaps the much anticipated movie based on the band's book 'The Dirt' is finally going to make it to the big screen? Maybe there's a new album in the works? Maybe Mick Mars is the new judge on 'America's Got Talent'? Guess we'll have to wait until Thursday for the official word!
What do YOU think the big news is?

PENTAGON, VA — July 9, 2013 — Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel announced today that the Department of Defense will award almost $20 million in grants to public schools serving military children. The grants are administered by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) through its Educational Partnership Grant Program, which enhances student learning opportunities, student achievement and educator professional development at military-connected public schools
During a speech at the Military Child Education Coalition's 15th Annual National Training Seminar at the Gaylord National Hotel and Training Center at National Harbor, Md., Hagel announced the first grants awarded in 2013 will go to 15 public school districts that serve 23 military installations across the country. These schools will apply the grants to their science, technology, engineering, mathematics and foreign language programs.
"Our goal is to make sure every military-connected school-age child gets a quality education, wherever they are in the world," Hagel said. "DoD will continue to collaborate with states, local school districts, the Department of Education, and organizations like the Military Child Education Coalition to achieve this goal."
Today's announcement represents the first of two grant opportunities open to public schools that serve military-connected families. A second opportunity is available for school districts to submit grant proposals as a consortium. Those applications are due July 12; awards will be made in late August. The DoDEA Educational Partnership Grant Program is open to school districts with a military dependent student population of at least five percent; participating schools must have a military dependent student population of at least 15 percent.
Since 2009, the department has awarded 186 grants, totaling more than $220 million and reaching more than 750,000 students. The amount of the awards is based on military student enrollment and ranges from $135,000 to $2,500,000, depending on the number of military students at the target schools.
A complete list of schools awarded the grants are listed on the website.

If I could have all the food bloggers over for dinner, what would I serve? A daunting question. For even if I have never met a nicer bunch of people, to cook for a group for whom food is an all consuming passion is, well, a prospect that is liable to keep me up for a couple of nights…recipes and scenarios running through my head like mad chickens.
That being said, I would also be beside myself with excitement at the thought of meeting all these terrific people who I have shared this corner of the blog-o-shere with. We have exchanged recipes, cyber-laughs, and virtual-hugs, and I must say at this point: Food bloggers rock! A more enthusiastic and supportive community I would be hard pressed to find. So, despite quaking in my heels, I will roll up my sleeves, batten down the hatches, and fix up a Food Bloggers Welcome Dinner…a project put together by one of the sweetest bloggers out there, Angelika of The Flying Apple.
(Cyber-laughs? Virtual hugs? Enthusiastic, supportive, a food blogger that rocks? Angelika is a prime example!)
I though long and hard about what I would serve. I am by no means an accomplished cook. Nor have I a lifetime history of growing up in the kitchen, cooking at my mother's elbow. As such, my repertoire is neither expansive nor impressive. And although I would be sorely tempted to try some new and magnificent sounding recipes, I think we would all be better off with the tried and true. Simple fare, but dishes I would be confident enough to serve to a group of discerning bloggers.
To start:
– Marinated Olives: I marinate my own because the ones they sell here that are any good are also ridiculously expensive.
– Quezo Manchego and Idiazabal: Two of my favorite cheeses, especially Idiazabal!
– A variety of cold meats like jamon jabugo, chorizo Pamplona, vela de lomo, and salchichon iberico: My aunt imports a selection of Spanish products here so I have a steady supply 🙂
Mixed greens with tiny cherry tomatoes still on the vine, topped with local goat's cheese, with a balsamic vinaigrette – I love these tiny tomatoes that I found in the market! And with beans as part of the main event I wanted something very light.
– Roast Chicken with herbs de provence, stuffed with lemon and garlic: Has never failed me yet!
– Roasted new potatoes: Tossed in olive oil, sea salt, and rosemary, and roasted with the chicken.– Fabada: My specialty 🙂 A humble bean stew but so satisfying! I make it with chorizo bilbao, Morcilla, and thick slabs of bacon. I also make the stock myself (with the bone of a jamon serrano if I can find it)…it really makes a difference. For a little kick I toss in some mild green chilis (sili pangsigang). It's not very photogenic…
– Baguette with garlic paste: Baguettes from my aunts who run and professional bread making business and whole garlic that has been roasted with the chicken. I usually press all the garlic out, mash in a bowl, then drizzle with some good olive oil.
Gâteau au chocolat fondant de Nathalie: I have made this before and it is always well received. It's one of those almost flourless chocolate cakes that is rich and dark and packs quite a chocolate punch.
Coffee or tea: I love coffee and I love my coffee cups of white porcelain with pewter handles. So we can cup these in our hands and wind down and chat about anything and everything…You would all be invited…Hope you enjoy this! Thanks Angelika for thinking up of such a fun project (even though I am so very late) and for being the sunny person that you are! 🙂

CONTINGENCY OPERATING SITE MAREZ-EAST, IRAQ -- When soldiers stationed near Habur Gate, Iraq, had trouble finding time to visit their Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) gyms on base, they decided to create a new gym in an empty room of their company area for quick workouts.
Keeping fit is important to the soldiers in the Bravo Battery, 2nd Battalion, 146th Field Artillery, Washington Army National Guard, under the 18th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, about a third of whom are on call 24/7 with a 40-minute mission readiness time, says 1st Sgt. Scott Catlett, a native of Vancouver, WA, who helped spearhead the new gym project.
Upkeep of exercise equipment can be challenging in the Iraqi terrain, he says, especially cardio machines.
"Cardio can be a bit of a problem," Catlett writes in an e-mail from Iraq. "Of course, we run and we sprint outside all the time, but we do have sand storms almost every week this time of year. I would love to have a couple of rowers and exercise bikes for the dusty days."
Since dust and dirt "play havoc" with treadmills in the larger main gyms, and their gym is alongside one of the main dirt roads on the base, Catlett says treadmills especially could be problematic in their location.
Catlett formerly worked as a civilian law enforcement officer and was trained in police and military fitness programming. In addition to designing workouts that don't require gym equipment, Catlett and his company developed some unique homemade fitness equipment.
"Everything we have in the gym we have begged, borrowed or had it made on the base," Catlett says. "Some items, like the kettlebells, we pitched in money and bought ourselves. The pull-up bars, dip station and squat rack were all made here on the base by our own welders."
Catlett says the soldiers lift weights for strength training using a series of Olympic bar lifts, combined with pull-ups, push-ups, dips, jumps, balance and core exercises.
The company also developed some specialty items, such as DIY medicine balls made from old soccer balls and basketballs that were cut open and filled with gravel.
"Sand would have been used, but it's hard to come by. Who would have known in Iraq?" Catlett says.
Catlett also developed strength, power endurance, strength endurance and interval weight training workouts for the soldiers based on the CrossFit and Gym Jones 300 workout models.
For cardio exercise, Catlett instructed the soldiers in Tabata Interval training, which involves 20 seconds of maximum intensity exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated six to eight times.
Most of the workouts are timed and the results are posted to measure performance and progress. They also record the amount of weight lifted and the number of reps a soldier has completed.
Many of the soldiers in the program have lost a lot of weight, Catlett says. The training not only prepares them for the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT), but it is also makes them better soldiers.
"The new gym and the workouts have started an incredible fitness craze in my unit," Catlett says. "And soldiers that have never passed an APFT since arriving at Bravo are passing it now with great scores. I tell the soldiers [that] the purpose of our training is not to help you pass the APFT; it is to make you more proficient at your chosen profession—soldiering. Passing the APFT with a good score is just a bi-product."
Catlett says the exercise groups have grown from three or four troops to as many as 20, and he has scheduled four daily workout periods to accommodate everyone.
"Soldiers from other units have stopped me in the chow hall or out on the street and asked if they can join in on the workouts," he says. "I have had to put in additional work orders to have new equipment made, and we no longer have enough kettlebells or Olympic bars to go around. The PT [Physical Training] program for Bravo has grown almost out of control, and I like it!"

The unholy mix of slowing growth, rising imports and increasing overseas debt is inviting a new wave of warnings about India's external financial position.
"A continued rise in India's current-account deficit and external debt could increase the country's vulnerability to international financial volatility," Moody's Investors Service said in a statement Monday.
Royal Bank of Scotland analyst Sanjay Mathur went a step further, predicting that if India's current-account deficit remains in the range of 4% to 5% of its gross domestic product, it will result in a "full-blown external crisis within the next five years."
Data released last week showed India's trade deficit, the difference between exports and imports of goods and services, widened to $20 billion in January from $17.7 billion in December, as the rate of exports continued to trail the increase in imports, primarily because of the country's reliance on overseas petroleum products.
None of this is very encouraging for the country's current account – a wider measure of external transactions than the trade balance – which ballooned to 5.3% of the country's GDP in the July-to-September quarter, the last available data point.
Moody's said in its statement that the rising reliance on overseas funding to meet the current-account deficit has seen India's external debt increase to $365 billion in the third quarter of 2012, double the level seen in 2006.
Although India's external debt – at 22%, or less than a quarter of its GDP – is still relatively lower than countries with similar credit ratings, its external position will "eventually weaken" unless changes are made, the credit-ratings firm said. Moody\'s currently rates India\'s sovereign debt at Baa3, with a stable rating.
"Since global growth and commodity-price trends are unlikely to change significantly in the near term, whether India's external metrics improve or not will depend on [policy] efforts to limit the fiscal slippage and inflationary pressures that have contributed to external balances deteriorating," Moody's said.
RBS's Mathur, meanwhile, said the Indian economy can sustain a current-account deficit of no more than 2.5% to 3% of GDP. He estimated that at the current level of 4% to 5% of GDP, India's current-account deficit will, by the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, boost the country's net external liabilities to 30% of GDP – a level that he said raises the risk of an external crisis, going by historical data.
"Multiple strategies are required for reducing the deficit: improving public savings, lowering consumer price inflation, and switching expenditures toward locally produced goods," Mathur said.

HACKENSACK, N.J. (May 19, 2010) — A Phase I clinical trial of SNS-032, one of the first in a new class of drugs that inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases, demonstrated the drug's safety and potential clinical action against advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Cyclin-dependent kinases are enzymatic proteins that are integrally involved in cellular metabolism, renewal and signaling, and are thought to play key roles in the growth of cancers. The drug did not demonstrate any clinical effect against advanced multiple myeloma, although researchers hope it might still prove to have some benefit against this blood cancer as part of combination therapy. The paper is published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
"No drugs that target this cancer mechanism are on the market today," says study author David S. Siegel, M.D., Ph.D., Co-Chief, Multiple Myeloma, John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. "I am hopeful that larger studies will show that this targeted therapy is useful against a number of advanced B cell malignancies."
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma are both considered B cell malignancies, as they attack these cells, also known as B lymphocytes. B lymphocytes are white blood cells that develop in the bone marrow and make antibodies that protect the immune system. Both types of blood cancer leave their victims susceptible to infections and other serious complications. While there are treatments for both cancers, there is no cure, and more effective treatments are needed.
"At the John Theurer Cancer Center we are committed to exploring new treatment options for rare cancers, such as multiple myeloma and CLL," said Andrew L. Pecora, M.D., F.A.C.P., C.P.E., Chairman and Executive Administrative Director, John Theurer Cancer Center. "We will continue to research new therapies to help our patients live longer and to find a cure for these diseases."
Dr. Siegel and colleagues tested the new medication on 37 patients, 19 with CLL and 18 with myeloma. Patients recruited to the study had advanced disease that was in relapse, and all had been through previous treatments with other medications (median number of prior treatments: four). All patients were given SNS-032, and all were aware of what they were taking.
To test both the drug's safety and the best potential dose, SNS-032 was given intravenously as a "loading" dose — an initially higher dose that is then reduced to a maintenance level — over five minutes. This was followed by a six-hour infusion given to all patients on a weekly basis for three consecutive weeks.
Although the primary purpose of the study was to test the maximum safe dose that could be given to patients, Dr. Siegel and colleagues also looked at whether the medication had an effect on disease processes. One patient with CLL had more than a 50 percent reduction in measurable disease, but no improvement in disease markers in the blood. Another CLL patient had stable disease for four courses of treatment. For multiple myeloma, two patients had stable disease with treatment and one had normalization of spleen size, which is an indication of a reduction in blood cancer activity.
Looking at blood test results for the patients, the researchers found anti-cancer activity. The drug appeared to inhibit cyclin — dependent kinases 7 and 9, two of the three enzymatic proteins targeted in this study. They also caused apoptosis, or cell death, in cancer cells.
"Our study found that this drug is well tolerated and had some clinical effect, but it is important to note that this was a small, very early stage study," says Dr. Siegel. "Based on these findings, there is justification for additional research, which will show whether this drug has a place in the arsenal of treatments for hematologic malignancies."
Preclinical studies of SNS-032 demonstrated that the drug inhibited the growth of cancer cells, and induced apoptosis, in B cell malignancies.
"The results of the preclinical studies suggest that we might see more anti-tumor effects if the drug is given over a longer period, possibly eight hours or more," adds Dr. Siegel. "Because the patients in the study were at a late disease stage and heavily pretreated, we might also see more of a response in earlier-stage patients. Future studies could look at these issues, as well as the feasibility of using SNS-032 in combination with other therapies."
Researchers from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Emory University, University of Maryland, City of Hope, Stanford University, and Sunesis Pharmaceuticals also contributed to this study.

Cohasset resident Matt Watkins rose quickly through the ranks at Regan Communications in Boston but decided to specialize in his own brand of industry representation.
Matt Watkins was 25 years old when he represented Modern Continental Construction Corp. as a spokesman during the Big Dig – the costliest multi-year construction project in state history.
At the time, Watkins was working in public relations at Regan Communications, one of Boston's largest communication firms.
A year later, at a 26, he was named vice president at Regan, making him the youngest VP in the company's history.
"I remember being only 25 or 26 and getting 75 media inquiries a day," Watkins recalled. "It couldn't have been a better trial by fire to get that adrenaline from helping clients in times of crisis."
An entrepreneur since his high school days in Hingham, Watkins ran a small landscaping company while he earned a marketing degree from Bryant University.
He was hired at Regan just six months after graduation, and he stayed with the firm for a decade before opening his own public relations company, Watkins Strategies, at age 32.
"When I was named vice president at 26, I knew there wasn't too much higher that I could go," Watkins said. "But I still understood I had more experience to gain. When I left at 32, I knew I was at a good place in my career to make the transition."
While working at Regan, Watkins was able to save $30,000, which financed the opening of Cohasset-based Watkins Strategies in 2010.
His experience representing major contractors in Boston gave him the background to serve Watkins Strategies' client base. And it set him up for his first independent job – representing the Greater Springfield Reliability Project, a $718 million undertaking in which Northeast Utilities is constructing new and reconstructing existing transmission lines in two states.
The project has been under way for three years and is scheduled to be completed on time and under budget, Watkins said. And while he credits a number of people and companies for its success, he also recognizes the role his firm played in community outreach and conflict resolution.
Since 2010, Watkins Strategies has represented more than $2 billion worth of construction projects in 48 municipalities in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, Watkins said,
One of the things Watkins most appreciates about running his own business is being able to develop and maintain personal relationships with his clients.
In 2011, when a tornado touched down in Springfield, Watkins Strategies raised $8,500 to assist people affected by the damage.
"In Boston, I could sometimes have 25 clients and had to sacrifice quality for quantity," Watkins said. "In Springfield, we saw the devastation and collectively decided we had to do something to help."
Today, Watkins' growing business employs four others. They split their time between the firm's home office in Cohasset and project offices near clients' construction sites.
While he is grateful for the learning experiences he had while working at Regan, Watkins said he never regrets his decision to open his own firm.
"I absolutely love that what we've done is under our own umbrella," he said. "The easy thing to do would've been to stay, but I went with what my gut told me to do."

RC-Micro 5 Pack Home Theater System
RC-Micro is our most compact collection of high-tech components' satellites and center channel. Though small, this system packs a big wallop inside their great looking high-gloss black cabinets.
RC-Micro proves beyond doubt that small can still be powerful. And, it shatters any illusions about packaged home theater systems; you won't get better performance, or better looks, even if you buy individual pieces.
The RC-Micro 5 Pack components were developed with Energy's audio principles in mind:
The center channel speaker needs to be centrally located so that the dialogue appears to be coming from the center of the screen. It needs to be above or below the monitor, as closely to it as possible. If you're using a rear projection television, the most likely option is to place it above the screen. If you have a front projection system, you have choices-stand mounting, or placement on furniture, for example. It is important, though, to place the speaker so that its front edge is even with the edge of the shelf or stand supporting it. Unwanted diffraction occurs when the center channel is too far back into a cabinet or other surface with edges that could impede sound dispersion.
Packaged 5.0 home theater system
Micro-sized speakers look great with contemporary flat panels
High-gloss black finish has high-tech look
Ribbed Elliptical Surround woofers create high efficiency, low distortion
An aluminum dome tweeter for sonic accuracy
Magnetic shielding to eliminate interference with CRTs

WASHINGTON (Circa) -- Two-thirds of Beyonce fans have never attended a music festival, according to a study from Nielsen Music released to The Wall Street Journal.
This stat may decrease after the Queen Bee performs at this year's Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif. Coachella is the highest grossing music festival in the United States.
Nielsen Music also found that the average Beyonce fan is seven years older than the average Coachella attendee. Most audience members, 64 percent, are millennials or teenagers vs. Beyonce fans who are typically in their 30's and 40's. MusicWatch says 24 percent of Beyonce's fans are between the ages of 35 and 44.
The firm predicts that the older demographic could help the festival because they're more willing to spend money than younger people. They also say that Beyonce fans are 14 percent more likely to follow the festival on social media which will help their digital footprint.
If you're not at Coachella, you'll be able to stream the festival via YouTube. Other artists performing include Tyler the Creator, the Weeknd, Vince Staples and Post Malone. The streaming service is expected to offer four different feeds of the festivities, according to Rolling Stone.

The Philippine Jobs Challenge: How to create more and better jobs?
|By 2016, around 12.4 million Filipinos would be unemployed, underemployed, or would have to work or create work for themselves in the low pay informal sector by selling goods like many seen here in Quiapo, Manila.
The Philippines faces an enormous jobs challenge. Good jobs—meaning jobs that raise real wages or bring people out of poverty—needed to be provided to 3 million unemployed and 7 million underemployed Filipinos—that is those who do not get enough pay and are looking for more work—as of 2012.
In addition, good jobs need to be provided to around 1.15 million Filipinos who will enter the labor force every year from 2013 to 2016. That is a total of 14.6 million jobs that need to be created through 2016.
Did you know that every year in the last decade, only 1 out of every 4 new jobseeker gets a good job? Of the 500,000 college graduates every year, roughly half or only 240,000 are absorbed in the formal sector such as business process outsourcing (BPO) industry (52,000), manufacturing (20,000), and other industries such as finance and real estate.

Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway plays down Wilfried Zaha move talk
Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has played down the prospect of Wilfried Zaha returning to the club on loan.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 15/10/13 3:24pm
Reports claim Manchester United are prepared to send Zaha out on loan in the New Year owing to his failure to break into David Moyes' first-team plans since his arrival from Palace in the summer.
Zaha, who signed for United last January, but was immediately loaned back to Palace, has made just one appearance for the Red Devils in the Community Shield this term.
A host of clubs, including Palace, have been linked with a move for Zaha if he becomes available in January, but Holloway concedes a bid to bring the England Under 21 international back to Selhurst Park is unlikely.
"David Moyes has his own issues at Manchester United, so if we were to go shouting about wanting him back on loan, I don't think we will ever get him back," Holloway told the South London Press.
"Besides, we have options [on the wings] - Jason Puncheon can play either side and in the pocket as well as in central midfield. Yannick Bolasie is coming back and will do well. It is all about having a squad that is strong enough to make changes and sustain good performances.
"At the moment, we are not beating people. [Jimmy] Kebe might have the chance to do that. And we know Jerome Thomas can."

Pool Resurfacing in Inglewood
If you are fond of relaxing and enjoying around your swimming pool area, then that place should be kept neat and clean. One of the primary things to be done for your aging pool is to resurface them after a period of few years. This process will keep them in good conditions for the years to come. Old pools in our houses have two major options, one is resurfacing and the other is remodeling. A swimming pool which is 10-15 years old should at least be resurfaced to make it last for a longer time.
Benefits of Pool Resurfacing
Swimming pool resurfacing is needed when the surface is filled with cracks or uneven surfaces that may lead to water leaks. These surface cracks are also the cause of elbow scrapes and foot wounds which are painful and dreadful to bear. The pool surface would also have to contend with algae stains that prove unsightly on a perfect summer day. The homeowner would then have to know a few things about the best products and services regarding resurfacing and repair.
The benefits of a quality resurfacing product will provide a lot of benefits in the long run, apparently providing more for the cost. Mind you, swimming pool resurfacing is not a cheap endeavor; but take into account the beautiful and lasting appearance (some that provide constant protection for up to 15 years), and you would agree that it is all worth it.
It will also offer the ability to permanently cover cracks and leaks that lead to excessive water consumption. The slick, non-porous surface provided by quality resurfacing provides constant protection against algae growth, leading to low pool maintenance and chemical consumption. Remember that the pool is constantly exposed to the harsh elements of nature (except for indoor pools, obviously) and the changing temperatures will have a huge effect on the life of your pool surface.
Why Resurface Your Pool
Keep in mind that the sooner you resurface your pool, the better. Permanently treating the surface will yield more savings in the long run. It will also give you a more sparkling pool that will last through the years. Swimming pool resurfacing Inglewood should be done at the first sign of surface damage to properly retain the beauty and efficiency of your pool.
The commonly known surface options are mar cite (plaster), fiberglass, sprayed liquid vinyl, exposed aggregate, tile and coatings paint.
Pool paint is today considered to be not a practical solution as it doesn't last long. With the unavailability of the lead based paints for environmental reasons, any type of paint for resurfacing is liable to run not long enough. This also necessitates frequent chemical cleaning.
Mar cite or plaster is also not a practical solution for resurfacing. Even if the replastering is done after removing the old plaster by sandblasting and applying plaster coat, it is not free from the impact of ground water attacking it from behind if it is near the wall. The three options available are Fiber glass resurfacing Aggregate and Tile.
Tile is a very expensive option; however, if you take a long term perspective, it is not so expensive considering the fact that it lasts at least twice as long as any other resurface option. There are instances of indoor tile pools which are more than 30 years old remaining maintenance free.
However, as for outdoor pools, this may not apply and some experts warn against the lasting benefit of tile and possibility of the finish getting dull on account of improper water balance.
Fiberglass coats over any existing pool surface. Fiberglass resurfacing is longer lasting than plaster. The option is less expensive. Cleaning is easier. The fiber glass shell is comparatively less susceptible to discoloration on account of staining, algae growth etc. If you look at the other pool resurfacing techniques from the point of view of pools shifting, you will notice that fiberglass is resistant to the same.
The tensile strength protects it from cracking by accommodating earth movement. What happens over longer periods of time is as yet unknown. The negatives include the delamination which may happen on account of severe and frequent changes in weather. It is also likely that the color goes off over a period of time and easily even when impregnated in the resin.
Aggregate refers to quartz aggregates or marble pebbles blended with white Portland cement. The finish which is gently rough give you the look of a composite piece where lots many very tiny stones are knitted together. There are many color options with stones of varying shines, size and quality.
In terms of durability, the Aggregates have a longer life than plaster. The maintenance in terms of cleaning is easier. There is better algae prevention when the aggregates are very well polished and woven tight.
As for aesthetics, the aggregates offer more options not only in terms of color but also in the choice of appearances which you may like to create as the background under water as also on the sides in some cases. These give better depth perception for the users. These can be fade resistant
The major disadvantage is that this option is critically dependent upon the process of installation or application. There can be severe impact on the quality of the created surface because of the way the process of application is handled and the surrounding weather prevalent at the time. You may end up with stones which are shaky or those which are escaping out of the finish.

CAMARILLO, Calif., Sept. 14, 2011 – A canopy composed of over 200 high-performance solar panels from SolarWorld, the largest U.S. solar manufacturer for more than 35 years, will grace the red carpet at the 63rd Primetime Emmy® Awards, giving solar energy its first starring role in U.S. entertainment culture.
The 50-kilowatt system goes prime time during the official live pre-show "Countdown To the Emmys," airing Sunday, Sept. 18 (7:00-8:00 PM ET live/4:00-5:00 PM live PT) on FOX, where the hottest names in American television will strut beneath the solar awning outside the Nokia Theatre at the L.A. Live entertainment center in downtown Los Angeles. Reliably drawing 12-13 million viewers, the awards show acts as a celebration of popular culture. In that light, this year's show will present solar power as an energy option available to regular homeowners around the country and even the world.
FOX, presenter of this year's Emmys, selected SolarWorld's solar panels to help power the television industry showcase that increasingly has featured green elements in FOX's campaign "Green it. Mean it." The many sustainable enhancements of the awards event will include carpet manufactured from recycled materials, energy-efficient lighting, and locally sourced and organically grown food. FOX believes this year's red carpet pre-show will be the most visible eco-friendly event of its kind.
After the show, the solar panels will go on to star in a sequel role: SolarWorld and Fox will donate them to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, a nonprofit organization dedicated to "eliminating substandard housing by making simple, sustainable and affordable housing a matter of conscience and action." The panels will serve 10-20 households while enabling Habitat for Humanity to provide better energy efficiency to hard-working, low-income partner families and individuals throughout greater Los Angeles.
A domestic solar producer that employs Americans to manufacture panels according to U.S. environmental, safety and labor standards, SolarWorld is a natural fit for the Emmys. Like Hollywood itself, SolarWorld's technology is rooted in Southern California. The company's Camarillo site, considered a solar-industry birthplace, is just 40 miles north of Los Angeles. Today, Camarillo is SolarWorld's fast-expanding commercial hub for the Americas.
"The Emmys spotlight the tastes, trends and technologies which viewers nationwide are tuning into in their lives," said Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas. "This year's show will mark the historical moment when solar power made its debut in American popular culture."
Photos and a blog posting on SolarWorld's star turn will be available on our website starting later today.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (HFH GLA) strives to eliminate substandard housing through advocacy, education and partnership with families and individuals in need to build simple, sustainable and affordable housing. Since 1990, HFH GLA has built and renovated more than 700 homes locally and worldwide, transforming the lives of hundreds of individuals. HFH GLA is a GuideStar® Valued Partner. For more information, call 310-323-4663. Visit the organization's blog at http://buildingagreaterla.blogspot.com.
SolarWorld manufactures and sells solar power solutions and in doing so contributes to a cleaner energy supply worldwide. As the largest solar producer in the United States and Europe, SolarWorld employs about 3,200 people and carries out production in Hillsboro, Ore., and Freiberg and Arnstadt, Germany. From the raw material silicon to solar wafers, cells and panels, SolarWorld manages all stages of production ‒ including its own research and development. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe and is committed to resource- and energy-efficient production. Headquartered in Bonn, Germany, SolarWorld was founded in 1998 and has been publicly traded on the stock market since 1999. For more information, visit www.solarworld-usa.com.

Author Notes: If you think about it, a hamburger is essentially a meatloaf for one, and vis a vis, a meatloaf is just a GIANT HAMBURGER.
Thus, the base of this meatloaf comes from my recipe for Japanese Hamburgers, which is actually the first dish I ever learned to make. My aunt would make them whenever she visited from Japan, and I remember writing the recipe down in this old notebook back when I was a kid thinking, "ONE DAY THIS WILL BE FILLED WITH RECIPES AND I WILL BE AWESOME."
That was the only recipe I ever wrote down, so FAIL.
But anyway, this recipe essentially combines Japanese Hamburgers with Curry Pan, which is a popular bread in Japanese bakeries that's essentially a bun filled with curry, crusted in panko, and fried; a curry donut if you will. Some variations of the curry bun have a cube of mozzarella in the center, and it's AWESOME. So I figure, mix cubes of mozzarella into the meatloaf itself, and envelop the whole thing in a curry panko crust. Yeah, yeah, yeah?
Food52 Review: This is the best meatloaf I have ever made. This is also the best meatloaf I have ever eaten. This can't even be put into the same boring category as every other meatloaf that has ever been made, period. Tim's instinct to make a Japanese hamburger into a meatloaf, and then add the curry sauce and then, of all things, mozzarella, is simply inspired. This is a crunchy little flavor bomb. It's simply a great fusion of Japanese flavors and down-home country-comfort cooking. I had a great time making it, and though the ingredients needed may not be in every chef's pantry, it's worth tracking them down to not only cook this dish but to open up new flavor profiles for those who don't cook with mirin, dashi, and Japanese curry every day. A+, and well done. Note: S&B curry is the most well-known "oriental curry powder", apparently. Finding instant curry roux was easy in NYC, but I might include the "from scratch" method as well (making the roux from flour, curry, butter, etc.) for those who don't have access to Japanese grocers. I assumed that Tim was cooking with liquid dashi, but his use of instant curry roux almost had me thinking of using instant (powdered) dashi as well. If the recipe were to be revised a bit I'd explain what dashi he used, and/or how you can make it from scratch (which is what I did, since I had konbu and bonito on hand already) vs. buying the instant version. Overall, I loved it. And I will be cooking his recipes again. - lechef —The Editors
Serves: 6-8
for the meatloaf
1 1/4
pounds ground beef
1 1/4
pounds ground pork
onion, minced
ounces fresh mozzarella
teaspoon nutmeg
cup low sodium soy sauce
large egg
cup mirin
1 1/4
cups panko
teaspoon salt
teaspoons curry powder
tablespoon dashi
large red bell pepper
for the curry sauce
tablespoon butter
onion, minced
teaspoon curry powder
teaspoon dashi
tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2
cups water
1/4 box
curry roux
- Preheat your oven to 350.
- Start off by mincing the onion finely. Sautee half the onion in ½ tbsp of butter and 1 tsp of low sodium soy sauce until nicely caramelized, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a dish and let cool to room temp.
- Meanwhile, separate the remaining minced onion. ½ will go into the burger, and ½ will be used for the curry sauce. I like using a mix of caramelized and raw onions in the meatloaf because the cooked onions will essentially melt and make the meatloaf soft and juicy, while the raw onions will cook just enough to provide a bit of texture. NICE.
- Mince the bell pepper and cube the mozzarella into ½ inch cubes or so.
- LET'S BEGIN MIXING. In a small bowl, mix your wet ingredients first. The egg, the ¼ tsp nutmeg, the ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce, the 1 tbsp dashi, the 1/8 cup mirin, 1 tsp curry powder, and the 1 tsp salt
- NOW THE DRY… -ish, well MOIST INGREDIENTS. In your large mixing bowl, first mix together the beef and pork, then add the remaining ¼ of minced onion (remember to leave the other ¼ for the curry sauce), the bell pepper, the mozzarella, and the cooled caramelized onions. Mix well.
- Add the egg mixture into the meat mixture, and incorporate well. Then add ½ cup of the panko breadcrumbs (the remaining ¾ cup is for the crust). The mixture should be soft but still moldable into a loaf. If you find a mix a little too loose, just add more panko.
- Mold this into a loaf pan sprayed with non-stick spray and compact well, getting out any huge air bubbles.
- Then invert this onto a large baking dish (one with a lip), and mold into a nice round loaf like thing. Be sure to poke in any exposed mozzarella cubes and mold the loaf around them. We want the cheese to be a surpriiiiiiiise.
- Cover with plastic wrap and park it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. You can bypass this if you'd like, but it does help all the flavors meld.
- MEANWHILE, begin the curry sauce. Saute the remaining ¼ minced onion in ½ tbsp butter and ½ tbsp of vegetable oil until translucent.
- Sprinkle on the tsp of curry, tsp of dashi and ½ tbsp of soy. Let sauté for a minute, GET THINGS AROMATIC.
- Then add the 1 ½ cups of water and bring to a boil.
- When it's at a boil, add the curry roux blocks (you can find these at most Japanese grocery stores, see the picture above!) ¼ of a box is usually two blocks.
- Dissolve in completely and lower the heat to a simmer.
- For the panko crust, melt 1 tbsp of butter in the microwave, and then mix in the remaining ¾ cup of panko and 1 tsp of curry powder.
- Take the meatloaf out of the fridge, and pat the crust on.
- Bake for 60 minutes at 350, and then turn it up to 425 for another 20. As per usual, these are general times. Ovens are weird and never cook the same way, so after 20 minutes at 425, take it out and poke it. If the juices run clear, you're good.
- When you take it out, let rest uncovered for 5 minutes. In the meantime, sauté up some broccoli in shallots and garlic with a sprinkle of mirin and salt, have a glass of diet dr. pepper, do some Sudoku.
- ENJOY, atop a bed of white rice and a ladle of the curry sauce.
