African Diaspora and the Metropolis
Reading the African, African American and Caribbean Experience
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
At the end of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century, a number of African American and Caribbean intellectuals and immigrants of the African Diaspora with all their apprehensions set out in steamships en route and carried with them a certain presence to the metropoleis of Europe and North America. These individuals traversed the "middle passage" in the opposite direction from the forced journey undertaken by their enslaved ancestors. Later they began to arrive in large numbers as free men and women in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Brussels, Lisbon, New York, and other places in the metropolis by steam ships and later by planes, and were actors in the larger history of empire from which the imperatives of forced migration, uprooting, displacement, and exile had arisen.
The texts selected offer critical examination of a broad range of African Diaspora experiences in the metropole drawn from Senegal, the Caribbean, United States, Britain, Nigeria and France. Bringing together comparative and diasporic perspectives, the book explores the complex roles that race, gender, sexuality and history have played in the formation of African Diaspora identities in the metropole since the 19th century.
This book was published as a special issue of African and Black Diaspora: An International Journal.

The Victorian government has revealed the five shortlisted proposals in a national competition to design the $50-million new Frankston railway station in Melbourne's south-east.
The competition is jointly conducted by the Office of the Victorian Government Architect (OVGA) and the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR). The jury selected the five proposals from 39 anonymous submissions.
The shortlisted teams are:
Luke Farrugia and Andrew Shaper – both young practitioners on the central coast of New South Wales. Their proposal is to create a "continuous and countered ground plane providing universal access and connection." The design features "a forest of slender columns" supporting an "impossibly thin roof plane."
Grimshaw Architects – a large international practice with a Melbourne office. The practice proposes to "integrate the transit interchange with the landscape and public space" by creating a new underpass that will "function as a civic plaza with station program incorporated." The design also features "natural dune forms in the landscape."
Genton Architecture – a mid-sized Melbourne practice. Its scheme "envisages the station at the centre of a pedestrian retail zone" with facilities such as a coffee stand and a fruit stall. The design is characterized by a perforated metal canopy and side walls. "The form of the canopy bends towards the surrounding streets opening to continue vistas of key view lines emphasising the station's role as a connecting hub rather than dividing barrier," the practice stated in its design response.
Cullinan Ivanov Partnership – a mid-sized Sydney practice. The practice proposes to redevelop the station in three phases, which will include a new landscaped promenade, elevated boulevard, plaza, an amphitheatre, a new civic and arts building and an overpass connecting the station to the beach.
Supermanouvre – a young international architecture and innovation practice based in Sydney. Its proposal, titled Frankston United, seeks to "re-unite the CBD with its suburbs." The concept includes a new public plaza and an amphitheatre combined with a "dramatic yet efficient transport spine to provide a new heart for the city."
The finalists will now proceed to the second stage of the competition to develop their designs. The preferred design will be announced in March 2017 and the winning team will be appointed project architect for the building of the new station. See the shortlisted submissions here.
On the jury were: Jill Garner (Victorian Government Architect, jury chair), Felicity Stewart (Stewart Hollenstein), Peter Elliott (Peter Elliott Architecture and Urban Design), Dennis Hovenden (Frankston City Council), Paul Edbrooke (state member for Frankston) and Geoff Oulton (DEDJTR).
The redevelopment of Frankston station is the flagship project in the $63-million revitalization of the Frankston station precinct.

On the trail of the world's rarest elephants on Malaysia's Kinabatangan floodplain
The humid air stirs more from buzzing legions of insects than from our boat's gentle progress on the river. I yawn and promptly inhale several of the most attentive of them.
We are cruising the only highway this land will ever know, the Sungai Kinabatangan, Sabah's longest river and a premier wildlife haven. Our goal: to track down and photograph Borneo's famed pygmy forest elephants, reputedly the rarest in the world.
Proboscis monkeys crash rowdily through the foliage above. An hour ago we'd have stopped the boat to get shots of them, but now they offer little consolation. It has been three hours since we set out and we have found few signs of our quarry. I fiddle listlessly with my cap.
Suddenly the lead boat erupts with excitement, its two passengers frantically snapping pictures of shadows we cannot yet distinguish. Straining my eyes, I think I see something moving behind the façade of foliage. Something huge.
"Up ahead," announces our wildlife guide and boatman, Osman Umi. I glance back, hoping he will say the magic word. He grins and gives the slightest of nods.
Borneo by boat
The mighty Kinabatangan springs from the mountains of southwest Sabah and snakes 560km towards the Sulu Sea, east of Sandakan.
I first heard about the river after summiting Mt Kinabalu in November 2007. Fellow travellers regaled me then with tales of mist-wreathed waters and swamps teeming with wildlife, but I had to wait four years until I could return to Sabah, along with a Filipino hiking group called the Loyola Mountaineers, to finally see the 'Father River' for myself.
Scouring the web for tours of the area, Osman's name had quickly come up, along with testimonials to his skills as tracker and boatman.
Soon we had a three-day, boat-based trip set up, based out of Osman's own riverside house. Simple but spacious, its five rooms sit atop solid stilts, insurance for when the river swells each December. A row of upturned rubber boots – essential tools of the trade here – adorns the porch.
Barely an hour after our arrival, we are cruising at two knots along the Menanggul River, looking for movement amid the foliage and snapping pictures of long-tailed macaques and a skateboard-sized monitor lizard which had somehow hauled itself up a perfectly vertical trunk. After four years, I am finally in the elephant's backyard.
The Kinabatangan is among the oldest rainforests on Earth, formed 130 million years ago. Here a verdant profusion of trees, ferns, vines, mosses and countless other plants jostles for space and sunlight, home to what the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) estimates is more than 250 bird, 50 mammal and 20 reptile species.
Occasionally, this area blesses a lucky adventurer with a fleeting glimpse of the rare Bornean clouded leopard or the even rare Sumatran rhinoceros. More commonly, even without binoculars, visitors spot birds, crocodiles and up to ten types of primate, especially when the water recedes each summer to leave bare expanses of mud over which animals must fly, slither or skitter.
The elephants are one of the stars of course. Borneo's pygmy forest elephants (Elephas maximus borneensis) are smaller and more docile than Asian elephants with males standing around 2.4m tall and tipping the scales at 3,000kg, and females slightly smaller. They have straight tusks, larger ears and tails long enough to give them an almost comical appearance. Only about 1,500 are left, prompting some scientists to consider them the rarest of elephants, with the largest remaining herds concentrated around the lower Kinabatangan.
At one point I ask Osman about another animal on my list: the tembadau or banteng, Malaysia's wild cattle. "Not likely to see," he says. "Ever since palm-oil plantations come nearer and nearer to the forest. Many wildlife now gone."
Sadly, up to 90% of the Kinabatangan's forests have been cleared, mostly for African oil-palm plantations. Feeding the 20-or-so processing mills that dot the region, these sprawling plots produce oil for soap, fuel and other commercial purposes.
"But elephants easier to see now, for the only good forests left are near the river," says Osman. "Sometimes though, even they must pass through plantations, looking for food. Guards scare them off with explosives." As if on cue, a baritone boom reverberates across the Kinabatangan. I look at him, but he is staring at the river – worrying perhaps, that the elephants might be going the same way as the banteng.

You're familiar with the term victimhood and I bet you are already on the path of knowing that there are no victims. We are the creators of our lives. We choose everything that happens to us, even the bad stuff. Call it law of attraction, manifestation, or any other term you choose. That's a big concept, though. Sometimes people get tripped up when they think of children getting cancer or the millions of starving people in the world. "Why would they choose that?" As weird as it seems, there is a very good reason for all of it.
Understanding and knowing are two different things, though. This video will help you move into the knowing. It will help you see clearer and help you claim your creatorship and leave those last bits of victimhood behind.

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) - Fans lined the streets in downtown St. Louis to say goodbye one last time to Stan "The Man" Musial. After the funeral mass his family had traveled with his Stan's body from the Cathedral Basilica to the Musial statue at the stadium. They stopped to law wreaths and to pay their last respects.
Fans were there to give one last standing ovation to baseball's perfect knight. As the family went back to their cars to go the burial fans broke out in song. Spontaneously, fans started singing, "Take Me Out To The Ball Game."
It was an amazing scene as the family headed off to bury a legend and fans cheered "The Man" on to baseball heaven.

SOTU: Christopher Herndon IV Review
Offense: Round-up of offensive topics on IMFB
It's beginning to look a lot like… clinic season. Why fly to Nashville or drive to Glazier (I'm obviously joking, this shit isn't Glazier quality) when you can sit in your undies with a beer on the couch and look at this stuff? Here are some topics focusing on offense from the past year or so on IMFB.
Using the H-Back in today's offenses
Why is an H-Back utility player so important? What can you do with one to make him useful in any spot? Find out how I've used H-Backs in my offenses over the past 8 seasons.
#89- our H-Back the 2nd half of the 2016 season
Pistol Wing T: Tom, Kick and Down
The goal of the IMFB Pistol Wing T isn't to make a perfect replica of the wing-t with just slight variation of the backfield alignment. It's to mold the wing-t to a pistol alignment and make it work as perfect as an offense can. Here, we're going to create a 'new' formation and a new version of the down series plus the original down play.
Drexel Trussell: H-Back and Option
Coaches who run the inside veer as a base running scheme are faced with a difficult defensive scheme best known as the squeeze and scrape. This scheme uses the dive key to squeeze the veer blocking tackle allowing the inside linebacker to run free and regain defensive numbers on inside veer. The same can be done on the midline option and outside veer. There are numerous ways to combat this including, but not limited to, the zone dive, counter option, belly option (Down/Log scheme), and belly dive. However, many option teams are not physically able to live without the true dive read plays due to their ability to leave 2 playside defenders unblocked. This article is a "theoretical" way to combat this technique. I say theoretical because I have yet to coach this offense.

Well Folks,
It's certainly been an exciting week so far. Thanks to everyone who came along on our trip to the March for Life this year! It was a tremendously successful event. In the next week or so, I'm going to put out two big items about it.
First, We'd like to do some promotional stuff, make a video, some bulletin boards, etc. around here. So I'm going to put up a site to upload any photos that you took at the March. You can either post your photos there or If you're able to stop in and loan me your camera card for a few minutes I can just get them manually.
Second, I'll be sending out a survey this week about the trip, what you may have liked, didn't like, etc. so see what everyone thought of the trip.
Last time we met, we decided that rather than meeting as a group this week at OLV, we'd like to attend Winter Jam at the BJC. For those unaware, Winter Jam is a Christian Music Tour that travels around the country. Admission is $10 a the door. Parents and family are certainly welcome! We'll meet by the large Neon sign at the BJC at 5:45pm (Doors open at 6PM) PLEASE let me know via Email (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you're coming so that we can sit as a group, and I know when everyone has arrived. More information about Winter Jam is available at http://www.jamtour.com/shows/university-park-pa
See you on Friday at the BJC!
-Fr. Matt
PS: For those of you with younger siblings, the Middle School Youth Group will meet as normal this Friday 01-27 from 5:30pm-7:00pm.

Hi! I'm Jess. Just Jess. Not Jessica. I'm 26, live in London and LOVE to travel.
After visiting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) in late 2015, I decided to start a blog to share some of my experiences. This is a country that is far less travelled than most and I couldn't find any blogs about it from females my age. I realised I had something fairly unique to talk about that needed sharing!
But I thought, why stop there !? I have been travelling abroad on and off since 2011 and have been to 33 countries so far. (I should have started this blog years ago but in all honesty, I couldn't be bothered back then.)
I'm not a 'digital nomad' or a 'professional globetrotter' like many people out there seem to call themselves. I'm not constantly on the road either although it may seem that way to some of my friends. Sometimes I travel for months at a time, sometimes it's weeks and other times it's just a weekend away. In between travel I work in London as a freelancer to build up my savings…. to pay for more travel.
This blog is for anyone with an interest in travel. That's incredibly broad I know but this website doesn't really focus on one type of trip (this is probably why I am not a particularly successful blogger). However, you will struggle to find blogs about partying or all-inclusive package holidays here- adventure travel is much more my thing. There isn't a country on Earth I wouldn't like to visit (although some I have to avoid for now for safety reasons of course).
I haven't created this site specifically for solo female travellers although I have been to many places alone. Nor is it a couples travel blog although many of my trips since 2016 have been with boyfriend. I try to keep my posts informative but not always specifically for one category of traveller (e.g the solo female).
If you've read this far then thank you for taking an interest!
I love hearing what people think of my blog. I aim to respond to everyone so if you'd like to conact me please click here. Or you can reach me on social media:

How to Calculate Sales Tax in Microsoft Dynamics AX
Avalara AvaTax connects easily with Microsoft Dynamics AX to deliver a robust sales tax automation tool.
If you are a business running Microsoft Dynamics AX, it's easy to automate your sales tax compliance process using AvaTax. This demo give you a preview of the process.
Hi, I'm Mark Wilhelm, Director of Product Integration here at Avalara. I'm a recovering accountant, also one of the very early employees, starting back in 2005. I'm here today to talk about AvaTax for Microsoft Dynamics AX, but first, let me share some of the facts about the power of AvaTax. Every day, our tax decision engine processes literally millions of sales tax calculations and when it comes to returns and filing, our customers rely on Avalara technology and services to file hundreds of thousands of sales tax returns every year. What's more, AvaTax integrates with virtually all the well-known ERP and financial applications, as well as POS, e-commerce and mobile systems, so if you acquire a company that's running a different financial application, no problem. You want your sales force to begin collecting sales tax in the field on a mobile device, no problem. Want to begin selling online, no problem. Your admin console is the place you can monitor all of your disparate systems and manage your sales tax compliance in one place.
Let me explain how fast and easy it is to get started in AvaTax. First, you're going to get a call from our GoLive team. They're going to help you set up your admin console, and work with your partner to connect into Dynamics AX. Next, you're going to map your products to AvaTax tax codes. For most of our customers, it's a fast and simple process using the tools we've built into Dynamics AX. You're either going to map groups of SKUs or individual SKUs to your tax codes. Let me show you the remaining steps in Dynamics AX.
Within the AvaTax admin console, we start at the Home tab. The Home tab is your resource center for everything AvaTax. Next, I'll move over to the Organization tab. This is where it is defined my company or set of companies that will run AvaTax. I'll next drill into the Nexus section. Here in Nexus, I'll go in and define the state or set of states where I wish to collect sales tax. Next, I'll go into Dynamics AX. I'll open up a customer record, select my customer, go over to the Set Up tab and probably here's one of the important elements. You're going to go into Sales Tax Group. I no longer have to define the city, county or state where I wish to collect sales tax directly within AX. I select AvaTax as my sales tax group and AvaTax will calculate sales tax everywhere that I have defined Nexus.
In addition to tax calculation, AvaTax provides address validation service. Going into my address record, any time that I edit an existing address or add a new address, you'll see the address validation button. Selecting that will validate the address and return the U.S Postal Service normalized address format. Clicking Functions and Accept, I will now save that address, and then clicking Save will update AX with that information. Address validation is not only important for normalizing the address within the AX but AvaTax, as demonstrated here on GeoSalesTax.com, powered by AvaTax technology, if I were just to generate a sales tax calculation using a five character zip for, let's say Commerce City, Colorado, you'll see that I would mostly return an 8.35% sales tax rate. However, if I go directly across the street from that point, you'll see that the sales tax rate is now changed to 4.85%. Only AvaTax, using their geo-spatial technology, will assign the jurisdictions based upon the specific address associated with the calculation. We will return the correct sales tax calculation each and every time.
Going back into Dynamics AX, I'll close my customer record, after having saved that, and now I'm going to generate a sales order. Click the New button to generate a sales order, select my customer, and Okay. I'll identify that product that my customer wishes to purchase. Once I have done that, I can get a tax calculation by hitting the Set Up button and clicking Sales Tax will calculate sales tax and apply it to the sales order. And then, when I'm ready to invoice, I come to Posting, Invoice, select Okay and, moving forward, will post this transaction and generate the invoice identifying sales taxes that has been calculated for state, county and any special tax jurisdictions.
And then finally, probably the most powerful element about AvaTax is going back into the Admin console and generating a report at the end of the month. The report will identify sales tax that has been calculated everywhere and, from this report, I can then generate my own sales tax return, though I must say, it's even easier if you just turn on AvaTax returns and leave the filing and remitting to us.
I hope you found this video helpful. There's never been a more complicated time in the world of sales tax compliance. That complication means there has never been a better time for sales tax automation. With AvaTax, you'll never have to worry about sales tax again.

When two volunteers asked to come and work with SosteNica a few months ago, we and our partner organization saw an opportunity to shift the nature of our work in Nicaragua and focus on bringing some of the food security work from the rural area into the urban, and on education and capacity building rather than on lending. Our volunteers helped design the project, and after visiting Estili, a city in northern Nicaragua known for its mural-covered walls, they proposed including designing and painting a mural as part of the project. For the project, we partnered with the Norwalk-Nagarote Sister City Project, and they approved of the idea and chose a wall for us on their brand new community center. The idea was for the mural to be a community activity, bringing the youth and kids from the families in the gardening project together to express the importance of gardening in another medium. In the end, the mural became a much broader process, involving many people who were not part of the gardening project.
SosteNica volunteer Danya and the Sister City project field director Ramon gathered a group of local kids to start a brainstorming session. They created drawings and wrote verses and their own reasons for gardening. Danya used the drawings in her own design that formed the base for the mural. Ramon suggested that the kids be given an opportunity to paint directly on the wall, and so nobody really know how it was going to turn out. The design created environments – fields, patios, a river – and the kids filled the environments with plants and animals of their own design. Danya painted a sketch version for us to follow, and we invited some of the older kids to help lay down the base design.
Juniette (above) and Junior, whose family is part of the Urban Gardening project and has built a very creative kitchen garden with raised beds lined with recycled plastic bottles, helped often. When the "environments" were created, we organized a community painting day and invited all the kids from the Sister City project classes, the neighborhoods where we are helping to create kitchen gardens, and the neighborhood where the community center is. We organized colors of paints, collected empty bottles and egg cartons, bought some refreshments, found some scrap paper, and braced ourselves for chaos. And chaos it was!
The extra table for kids to practice their plant or animal, or just to keep them occupied while the wall was overcrowded was very helpful. Needless to say, we had a few incidents of paint throwing, uninvited additions, and squabbling, but by the end of the afternoon the mural was definitely more lively. We continued working over the next week with smaller groups, and fell into a good groove, adding some people and using the images the original group of kids had drawn to fill in the gaps. The final design is rich and luscious, filled with life and creativity. There is a sign in the middle for a very simple verse that one of the kids wrote at the beginning of the process: "we protect our plants because we depend on them for our food and our good health, thank you…"
You can read more about SosteNica's work on their homepage. Our volunteer, Danya, maintains her own site www.danyafrench.com with pictures and descriptions of her artwork and other community art projects.

Absolute Links vs. Relative Links – SEO Value
- April 17, 2014
- Advanced SEO Techniques, Business advice, SEO
The debate between absolute links and relative links continues to live on in the SEO world. The individual significance of each has been contested, but it is widely regarded that absolute links provide better SEO value on the whole than relative links.
Many believe that absolute links have less potential for getting messed up when search engines index your page. It shouldn't really make a difference, but many conclude that this is reason enough.
Furthermore, content scrapers and RSS services may 'repurpose' your content legitimately (or not). In either case, shouldn't a proper back-link be attributed to your site? This situation favours absolute links. Although this is a minor argument, it's still worth considering.

Ovar also has, surprisingly, some Baroque remnants still standing. One is this wonderful church from 1746 (closed, like everything else, on a Sunday afternoon) with voluptuous moldings and volutes and vigorous pilasters bookending its façade. It is a slightly naive composition, where the pediment above the main architrave seems like an afterthought. Sort of a provincial Nasoni (himself not the most urbane Architect in the kingdom), it is nevertheless fun in its heaviness, and poetically forgotten in its own corner of the world.

Think of our keto skillet jalapeno popper pizza as deconstructed poppers! WE PROMISE it won't disappoint. Don't believe it? Try for yourself!
Keto Skillet Jalapeno Popper Pizza
One thing people love is pizza, but some think that they can never have it again while eating keto or low carb because… dough. It is possible to eat it though, I promise! Personally, I love pizza and so does my entire family. We enjoy having pizza and movie nights. With this way of eating you can't just order the usual from the house of pizza down the road. Too. Many. Carbs. It will kick you right out of ketosis.
This skillet recipe makes our movie nights easy and delicious. Without feeling deprived or having the fear of being kicked out of ketosis. We love all flavors of pizza but one of our favorites include jalapenos and bacon. These combined with cheddar cheese is absolutely mouthwatering. This recipe has become one of our favorites especially on days we are tempted to cheat. This keto skillet jalapeno popper pizza cures our cravings while staying in ketosis.
But how can I eat this pizza and still stay in ketosis?
The not so secret , secret is fathead dough. Fathead dough is a miracle invention. It uses mozzarella as the "gluten" to hold the dough together and give it a slight chew. This is completely keto approved. We use our fathead dough recipe for many things- rolls, desserts and more.
This Keto Skillet Jalapeno Popper Pizza combines two of my favorite things- pizza, and bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. Think of it as a deconstructed bacon wrapped jalapeno popper on top of a flavorful Fathead Dough crust.
Why does my fathead dough look different than yours?
The main reason for the variation in dough is the flour used. Almond flour comes a few different ways- super fine, blanched and almond meal. The colors of each flour are also different. Super fine being the lightest, meal being the darkest. We typically opt for super fine.
The best part about this is that it is simple to cook. All you need is a skillet. Press the fathead dough in to your skillet as if you are making a deep dish pizza and add your ingredients. You can also make extra dough to either keep in the refrigerator OR pre-make extra crusts.
But, that is enough about that. Let's get cooking!

Keto Skillet Jalapeno Popper Pizza
Think of our keto skillet jalapeno popper pizza as deconstructed poppers! WE PROMISE it won't disappoint. Don't believe it? Try for yourself!
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 3/4 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 2 jalapenos, sliced in rounds
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, crumbled
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a small bowl, add cream cheese and mozzarella. Microwave on high for 20 seconds at a time until melted.
- Add remaining ingredients to the melted cheese.
- Mix as well as you can. It does get a tad bit odd here, because mozzarella turns to a big glob when melted. It is ok, it will work together.
- Grease 10" skillet, spread dough out evenly. Stick with fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Top with cheese, bacon and jalapenos. Continue for another 10 minutes or until crust is golden and set.

Saturday was week two of the end-of-season festival, and the Strikers continued their winning ways, taking the first game against the Sharks 4-2, and the second game against the Storm x-x.
Since I wasn't there, and don't know how it went, other than Tristan scoring a goal in the first game, and Zoe taking a shot to the face (again), the rest of this post will be pictures of the games, taken by Jennifer.
(As a side-note, these are just about the only pictures on this blog so far that Jennifer has taken, and they're awesome!)

I had a hard time coming up with a name for this recipe. sigh I had this long and wonderful and totally descriptive name for this, but then people kept calling them Pork Fritters, so they are now Heavenly Orange Pork Fritters.
I went to the 'big city' with a friend last week and we stopped in at this little store, called Smashing Olive. Big mistake on my part. I tried several of the oils and could have drunk a glass full of the Balsamic Vinegar, it was so good.
The mistake on my part? Well, I only bought a couple of the oils and vinegars and now I have to go back and buy more. But, I can wait for a week or two before I go back there.
At any rate, it was Boat Club this week. We've had a summer hiatus, and people are now back and chomping at the bit and ready to cook and eat and enjoy themselves.
I decided to try using the Mandarin Fused Olive Oil along with the Balsamic Vinegar to make a marinade for the pork tenderloin. I whisked together roughly equal parts, with a little more oil than vinegar. Then I went out to the garden and raided my oregano plant and used my mezzaluna to chop up the oregano leaves.
Added those into the marinade and coated the tenderloin and stuck them in the fridge. After an hour, I decided that I needed to add a minced clove or two of garlic to the marinade, and then the ginger said, use me too, so I used my microplane and added about a half teaspoonful. I love keeping ginger in the freezer, even if it talks to me sometimes, it's just so handy.
I was trying to keep it simple.
I didn't make a lot of marinade, so I used one of my trusty gloves and massaged the marinade into the pork tenderloins, very gently. I didn't want all that porky goodness to be overtaken by the orange, I just wanted a hint, to enhance.
After they'd rested in the fridge for a couple of hours, I proceeded to use my meat mallet on them.
You can get out a lot of frustrations that way.
I pounded them out quite thin, then did the flour dip, then an egg wash and finally pressed them into some panko, and fried them quickly in a little hot oil.
When the pork is pounded out this thin, it only takes a minute or so to cook, so just go ahead and brown them on each side. I use peanut oil to fry them, as it is a mild oil.
And you know I taste tested this as well.
There was a lovely hint of orange in finished pork fritter, before dipping it into the dipping sauce I made. I think maybe I could have used more of the oil, and maybe next time I will.
I'm thinking of all kinds of ways to use this Mandarin Fused Oil.
I served the fritters with a dipping sauce and I'll share that recipe with you later on. The dipping sauce is what totally blew this away.

Well, once again I have to get to the nitty gritty and give this book a 1 star for color pics. The information with regard to angle calculations and charts-tables and derived numbers are based on a True angle protractor that you have to purchase either as a kit or separately. What this means is that if you don't have the tool he's trying to sell you, you will be wondering why is that angle in picture or description 270. How did he get that when it looks more like closer to 90 or so?
I should have paid attention to the one true negative review on Amazon (Buyer beware-this book is part of a system!)
The pictures are nice but the information is useless if you're new to crown molding.
Save yourself the cash and download better and clear no BS information from u-tube and web.

I have this book and I think it is excellent.When I decided to do my crown molding about 5 years ago this book came highly recommended by a friend who had just finished his house.My crown came out great and I have since helped 3 friends do their whole house.I have found the book invaluable.You do not need to use his protractor.Any protractor will do.(Bosch sells a digital one).

Yes, there are a lot of positive reviews of this book on Amazon but with exception of one review, they fail to mention that all the charts and angle tables are based on 360 degree True angle tool.

Jon Irabagon: Foxy
Irabagon, the winner of the 2008 Thelonious Monk International Saxophone Competition, has never rested on the laurels of that distinguished title. He has divided his time between more traditional jazz, recording The Observer (Concord, 2009) with Kenny Barron, Rufus Reid, and Victor Lewis, while maintaining his outlaw status in Mostly Other People Do The Killing. Often difficult to remedy his two personalities, he plays straight-ahead jazz in Confluence and bebop in his Sonny Rollins covers band, while releasing a tour de force free jazz duo with drummer Mike Pride, I Don''t Hear Nothin'' But the Blues (Loyal label, 2009).
On Foxy, he employs bassist Peter Brendler and drum legend Barry Altschul, of the storied band Circle (with Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Anthony Braxton and partnerships with Paul Bley and Sam Rivers.
The disc opens with a fade in, the band in full flight, racing its blues from some imaginary subterranean club. Altschul matches Irabagon's energy, while Brendler keeps the form intact. Despite the music being broken into individual tracks, it maintains a continuous pace throughout, as Irabagon keeps throwing out note-upon- jazz-quote and the kitchen sink. Pieces and parts of Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman and, maybe, Sonny Stitt can be heard. Barely a pause is allowed during the entire disc. While Irabagon is stunning, the American label reemergence of Altschul is to be celebrated. His vitality is unremitting, driving the beat throughout.
Like the legendary Benedetti recordings this one ends mid-note, the band continuing to drive on while the tape (or digital device) runs out.
