Recipe File: Pan Fried Fish Fillets
Article Digest:
Last week I roasted a four pound cross rib roast (instead of a standing rib roast because I was too cheap to by prime rib just for an article). Well, I finally finished eating the roast. (After the initial feast, I sliced the roast into steaks and then reheated on a skillet for a couple minutes on each side with some onion powder and celery salt to produce a tender medium to medium-well steak dinner.) After eating steak (and grilled beef of several varieties because of the July 4th weekend), Tina decided she would like some fish.
We had some fairly thick fillets (about one inch) of catfish that I decided to pan fry (or saute, but I usually reserve this word for food that will actually be constantly moved on the pan). I always use a large non-stick skillet whenever I want to pan fry fish, but I had four fillets of catfish. I decided to do an experiment and cook all four at the same time - two on my non-stick skillet and two on my traditional saute pan.
My main concern was that the fish would stick to the stainless steel bottom of the traditional pan. After doing some research, it seemed that the Editors of Cook's Illustrated (in
The Best Recipe
) believed that heating a traditional pan enough prior to cooking would allow the fish to not stick to the stainless steel. I thought it was worth a try.
I heated both pans at medium-high heat. While the pans were heating, I seasoned the four fillets simply with salt and pepper. I poured about a tablespoon of oil in both pans and watched the oil until it shimmered. Then I placed two fillets in the non-stick pan and two fillets in the traditional pan. I started with the skin side up.
Since the fillets were about an inch in thickness, I set my timer for 5 minutes. I let the fish sit there and cook, splattering oil everywhere for the duration before attempting to dislodge them. The non-stick was pretty straightforward. I picked up the pan byt he handle and gave it a firm jerk. The fish fillets slide about an inch on the pan. Then I flipped them over with a spatula and started another timer for five minutes. I then moved over to the traditional pan and gave it the same jerk. No movement. I prodded a little with my spatula and it seemed like the fish was pretty much sealed to the pan. I dribbled a little more oil in and let it cook for an additional thirty seconds. Then I tried the jerk again. Nothing. Not wanting to over cook the fish, I went in with my spatula and carefully wedged teh edge of the spatula under the fish. Working my way around the fillet, I managed to release it and flip it over. I did the same with the second. What surprised me was that the color of the fish on the traditional pan was a rich golden brown while the non-stick pan gave me a darker brown crust. It was kind of a pain to scrape the fish off the traditional pan without destroying the fillet though. I started a second timer for the traditional pan - also at 5 minutes.
Once the five minutes were up for each of the pans, I removed them promptly onto a serving plate. In both cases, the fish were perfectly cooked - crispy exterior with almost flaking (but not quite flaky) interior. Also, the color from the traditional pan was a little better than the non-stick (although I couldn't discern a difference while tasting). However, the non-stick pan provides that extra insurance that a flip will be quick, easy, and efficient. In addition, the extra oil used in the traditional pan made for a bigger mess to clean up. When I usually use a non-stick pan, I will actually brush the oil onto the fish fillet and then pan fry without additional oil. This creates very little sizzle or splatter and makes for quick kitchen cleanup.

The olive oil should have a high smoke point - use either high quality extra virgin olive oil for more flavor or light olive oil.
Some people have mentioned that you should never sear meat with extra virgin olive oil because of the low smoke point. This is generally true, but high quality extra virgin olive oil typically has a lower acidity than regular extra virgin olive oil. As one example,
brand extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of 406°F. I would not use a supermarket brand extra virgin olive oil for any type of cooking because it would be too easy to exceed the oil's smoke point.

Thanks for your detailed account. I have no problem using a "traditional pan". Maybe my fish are more suited: Red Snapper / Sole? I don't get "golden brown" though.
I recommend you should use less or more oil, and reduce the temperature; please report back if you can.
Also, the splattering can be dealt with: there are lids for that.

If you put a lid on the pan you will probably affect the fish because 1) Moisture is retained in the pan during cooking and 2) It keeps the heat in so the fish either cooks faster or overcooks.
I have seen for sale a spatter guard. Basically a fine wire mesh in a circular hoop that is designed to release more of the moisture and heat but keep the fat or oil in. It does help keep the spatter in the pan, but I have not experimented with the affect on cooking.
The spatter issue is one the reasons I prefer to cook outside on the BBQ :-). Although that requires a good climate ...

My splatter guard is smaller than the traditional pan that I use for cooking fish. I don't want to pay close to $20 for a guard from a specialty store, and the restaurant supply store is open only when I'm at work, so I have yet to pick a large one up. I will probably go get one the next time I have a day off.
As to testing different amounts of oil, I will do that - but you'll have to wait until the next time my wife is in the mood for pan fried fish.

In the restaurant I used to work in, we would pan-fry (this is the correct terminology there...) catfish fillets. The pan we used was a cast-iron that sat at the back of the oven, and generally had much more than a tbs of oil...perhaps 1/2 in. deep? (Hence frying...)
This tended to ensure the fish did not stick. IIRC, we sometimes breaded the whole filet in a very light "blackened seasoning" (a mix of paprika, black & white pepper, kosher or sea salt, and several others. Various recipes for blackened seasoning are out there, and it's up to you. But this, I believe, may have also helped with preventing the fish from sticking. And with a fish that is not so delicate (like catfish) it adds fantastic flavor. Something like salmon, however, I wouldn't try like this.

I've done a bit of pan-frying on cast iron pans, which usually don't cause much sticking at all. Just make sure the pan is well seasoned. It also helps to add a little extra olive oil, and depending on the fish, some sort of juice (usually lemon).
I think it might be best to start skin-side down, possibly because it has a higher fat content.
There's good salmon recipe I use, if there's a place for me to post it.

I'd recommend starting skin-side down if the skin was left on the fillet, but in all honesty im not sure its a big deal if there's no skin. Rule of thumb is presentation side always goes down first.
Also, in my experience stainless steel pans are terrible to cook fish on - perhaps there's a reaction that happens, im not sure, but I would go with a well seasoned plain old steel pan myself. I find they rust less than cast-iron.
Oh, and you're right about not using the word saute too, when I went to school we were taught that it meant to toss over heat in butter.

Yeah, when researching this topic, I found many recipes calling it "sauteed fish fillets" because pan fried sounds like too much oil and the amount of oil used is closer to a saute. However, no movement = no saute in my book. I don't associate any particular fat to saute, but I use either butter or olive oil.

I LOVE my splatter guard. I got mine at Linens and Things, and they send out 20% off coupons all the time. It's worth the $18 bucks to save the splatter. I use it all the time...

Interesting reading. Before I saw this site, I prepared fish tonight in the way my Mom used to do it:
Filet of sole, breaded with corn meal and pan-fried in a small amount of Crisco, with Mrs. Dash, salt and pepper. It was wonderful!

P.S. I cooked the sole in an electric skillet with a non-stick finish.

I use a cast iron frypan, vegetable oil, corn flour (a.k.a Zaterains Fish Fry) and a beer and yellow mustard wash. Also Blackened Redfish Magic spice. Works great every time!
I never use a cover because there is too much steam but keep a dish rag handy and wipe the stove regularly.

I batter the fish in flour, egg, and panko, then into a non stick pan. Use the splatter screen and all is well.

Although the weather was poor at times, with gale force winds whipping the coast, nothing speaks better of the spirit of the Irish than the ability to make the best of a bad situation, and January proved the perfect time for a little celebration. From 22-27 January, the annual TradFest took over the Temple Bar area of Dublin, including the grounds of Christ Church Cathedral. Stages, tents and little cottages were set up, offering a taste of traditional Irish life from the past, as well as food, dance, song and instrumental music. It proved a lovely way to spend a somewhat rainy Saturday afternoon. Here are a few images from that day, along with a little video of the brave souls convinced to join in with the dancing inside one of the tents:
|On the grounds of Christ Church Cathedral; right: a woman making St. Brigid's crosses.
|Some gentle four-legged friends.
|Herself, posing nicely for a picture.
|Great to see young Irish embracing the traditional music of their homeland.
|A large group of young people beautifully playing traditional music.
|As in days of old, the dairyman bringing his milk to market for sale.
|A placid donkey overlooking a large pile of bog turf. The scent of burning turf filled the air,
as it fuelled nearby fire pots, reminding me of the turf fires in my aunts' homes when I was a child.
|Just out walking his turkey around.
|Purveyors of the poteen, and the bicycles.

RULOST2? and I just got back from a 3-day Vermont geocaching trip and really found some good ones. (And found 6 inches of snow in some areas!) Yeah, and we found some some bad ones, too (spent 45 minutes looking for one before we gave up, then logged onto the cache site when we got back to the motel to find that the owner had "disabled" it 2 days after we downloaded the Vermont data to our laptop/PDA/GPS. THE CACHE WASN'T THERE! And then there was the cache that was rated 1.5/1.5, and was accessible only by mountain goats - after a .6 mile hike.
But one of the most interesting was this one, which you should bookmark if you think you'll be in Vermont anytime soon:

The door to the meeting room opens and it's the person who called the meeting, running 10 minutes late because the previous meeting ended late and he had to stop by his office and pick up some notes to remind him of what this meeting was about. The folks already in the room are discussing last night's game and wondering how long the meeting is going to last. Only one person remembers getting the notes from the last meeting. And he's the only one that has a copy of the report they're supposed to discuss.
Does this sound or feel familiar? You're not alone. One topic that everyone can agree on is this: Meetings are often a waste of time and money. Scary meeting statistics abound. According to an infographic from software company Atlassian, U.S. businesses waste $37 billion a year. Some of that meeting time may have been wasted in your organization. What is strange is why this situation isn't on the top of anyone's list to get fixed. If we are wasting billions, why don't corporations make the effort to fix the problem? Perhaps it boils down to a lack of accountability. But this is something that is entirely within our control. Here are some symptoms of bad meetings, identified by Joel D. Levitt, and what you can do to fix them.

It never fails: You're 30 pages from the end of a book, or 15 minutes from the end of a movie, and you start to wonder, "How are they going to wrap all this up in the time remaining?" And then... they don't. Which book or movie ends on the most frustrating cliffhanger?

Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome said he wasn't completely sure what led to his trip to a Chicago hospital last night, but he knows where he's headed this afternoon.
Newsome told Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun: "I'll begin breaking down film this afternoon. It's back to work."
That's a quick turnaround after he was taken from Solider Field in an ambulance, and didn't make the team flight home.
"I'm fine," Newsome said. "All my tests were normal and there is nothing wrong with me. They didn't find anything."
Asked if he recalled being stretchered out, Newsome replied: "No, just one of those things, I guess. We don't know right now."
The hope is that there are no further problems, and that he isn't pushing himself by returning to the office so quickly.

Dorm Report: Controversy continues at Rutgers
Philadelphia, PA – This one has to fall under the heading of, "what were they thinking ... if they were thinking at all?"
Rutgers is back in the headlines folks, and once again it is for all the wrong reasons. The school has been trying to stay under the radar since the entire Mike Rice fiasco took place, with the subsequent mangling of the investigation into his abusive behavior also adding fuel to that fire. Now comes word that the incoming athletic director, Julie Hermann, has a checkered past of her own. Turns out that Hermann, the head volleyball coach at the University of Tennessee for six years in the 1990s, did not leave that position on a positive note. In fact, Hermann had been called on the carpet for her abusive behavior towards her players as all 15 of them submitted a letter to the AD which described how their coach ruled through humiliation, fear and emotional abuse.
There might not be any video evidence such as the footage in the Rice case, but the Lady Vols claimed Hermann's tactics were unbearable, going so far as to call the players "whores, alcoholics and learning disabled." When Hermann was confronted by her players, her response was that she no longer wanted to coach them and then simply departed.
Surely an episode like that would be a life experience that one could never forget, yet Hermann has seemingly blocked it out of her consciousness. When asked about this revelation from her past Hermann said, "I never heard any of this, never name-calling them or anything like that whatsoever."
This isn't a case of an individual having one too many items in the express lane at the supermarket, or forgetting to sort her glass and paper for recycling pickup. Those are the types of infractions many of us fall guilty of, but even Rutgers could not afford to let someone with such insignificant discretions slip through the cracks this time around.
Honestly, did the administration think the spotlight had dimmed and they could cut corners after being front-page news not that long ago? Perhaps the higher- ups were convinced that they had finally found their way out to the other side, that their movements and decisions would not be nearly as scrutinized. Heck, the school got away with labeling new men's basketball head coach Eddie Jordan a graduate of the university, even though he never wore a mortarboard as a Scarlet Knight.
The Jordan faux has received very little play in the press, but when you compare that slip of the lip against the videoed exploits of Rice, it's like jaywalking on an empty street at 3 in the morning in a seaside resort town during the month of January.
Rutgers is lucky that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was making the rounds in the Garden State this past weekend, inspecting the ranks, because, as is often the case, he is the real news maker in that state. Although, during a stop in Asbury Park Christie did speak on the subject of Hermann with NBC reporter Brian Thompson and is just as perplexed as the rest of us.
"Listen, I'm as curious as anybody and given my position, I get to ask questions more quickly than others," Christie said of his intention to speak to Rutgers officials. "So I'll be asking questions and we'll see what happens."
Christie, while being perhaps one of the most outspoken politicians in recent years, obviously has to measure his response at this point before getting all of the facts, but former governor Richard Codey doesn't have to worry about repercussions, which is why he says he is in favor of seeing Rutgers president Richard Barchi resign.
"This is becoming Comedy Central," Codey was quoted in The Star-Ledger. "It's an embarrassment to the students and alumni of a great university and it's time Mr. Barchi takes his show on the road."
This isn't just an issue now for the athletics department at the State University of New Jersey, it is far more reaching than that for sure. Alumni and deep-pocket donors will obviously have the final word on how this all plays out.
Forget about whether or not the fan support will be there for coach Jordan and a splintering men's basketball program that has seen more than its fair share of defections and loss of recruits, the administration has a serious public relations issue on their hands yet again.
Former AD Tim Pernetti was forced to fall on his sword following the debacle with coach Rice, yet president Barchi somehow remained above the fray even as outsiders called for his ouster as well. But never fear, Barchi probably won't be able to skirt his way out of this one no matter how much he tries because the school simply cannot afford to continue being the epicenter for bad press.
Due diligence is always a popular phrase when teams/businesses go searching for the next great talent, something the school failed to exercise in this case. Perhaps an ethics professor at Rutgers can give the administration a crash course on the subject in order to prevent an episode such as this from happening yet again.

A few inches of snow and freezing temperatures brought Atlanta and much of the South to a near standstill Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
Traffic got so bad that people abandoned their cars and hundreds of kids slept over at their schools.
The city ended up looking like a scene from zombie apocalypse series "The Walking Dead."
Plenty of people in areas used to winter weather blamed the disaster on those who simply can't drive in snow, no matter how little.
But other factors were at play. We asked a couple of experts to explain just what really happened. The answers include improper planning, driving conditions that are bad even when the weather is good, and the use of sand instead of salt.
1. Bad Traffic Made Worse
Asked how the situation in Atlanta got so bad, Hibbett Neal, the international president of the Institute of Traffic Engineers, noted "the traffic's bad anyway."
According to the 2012 Annual Urban Mobility Report from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, Atlanta's traffic is the seventh worst among the country's major metropolitan areas. The public transportation system is a mess, which discourages people from giving up driving. On average, commuters waste 51 hours a year stuck in traffic.
When Tuesday's storm hit in the early afternoon, the roads started to fill up. Larken McCord, a teacher in Atlanta, told Business Insider that most public schools did not stagger the release of their students — so they all had to be picked up at once. In general, she said, "there was not a whole lot of coordination."
In the aftermath, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal said it was clearly a mistake to release government workers and students at the same time, just as private workers were making their way home. The result was that just as conditions were getting bad, everyone was getting on the road.
2. Icy Conditions
The region was hit by more than snow. "They got a lot of ice," John Allin told Business Insider. Allin ran his own snow removal business for nearly 30 years, and now works as a consultant for municipalities and non-profits (such as colleges) who need help creating contingency plans for winter weather.
Ice is challenging for drivers everywhere, he said. Slippery conditions were made worse by the fact that Atlanta spreads sand and stone on roads, not salt. Salt helps melt ice; sand is just for improving traction. It's the less effective choice in general, Allin added: On a highway, after 10 or 15 cars drive over it, its effect is nullified.
The problem with salt is that it's only effective if it's kept dry. That's why northern municipalities build storage facilities to house enormous piles of the stuff. Why would Atlanta want to make that investment when snowstorms come every few years?
In contrast, "sand is very inexpensive" to buy and store. So it's the logical option.
3. Untreated Roads Lead To Accidents
Then there's the fact that the vast majority of roads weren't even treated with sand before the storm — and the traffic — descended.
The city "did treat priority routes before the storm," an official said. According to Atlanta's website, those routes included 200 miles of roadways, 40 bridges, 6 hospitals, and 16 police precincts.
But even if those were covered, lots of roads were left untouched. When McCord drove home, on a route that doesn't include major interstates, the roads "had not been treated at all," she said. A trip that usually takes under 20 minutes took two hours.
On icy roads, accidents piled up quickly. By Tuesday evening, local news station WSB-TV was reporting "hundreds of crashes all over town." The fact that plenty of people abandoned their cars and walked home made things even worse.
Take an area where traffic is always bad, then put even more cars on the road. Start adding accidents and gridlock is inevitable. "That's pretty much the gist of it," Neel said.
Once gridlock set in, treating and plowing roads became more difficult. "Snow plows can't clear it out" when they can't go anywhere, Neel said.
Preparing For The Future
Allin cautioned against piling on state and city officials, as well as residents, for mishandling the situation. "I don't think they're bad drivers," he said, or bad at plowing and treating roads. "They just don't get to practice it enough."
But while he said it's not a question of "incompetence," Allin acknowledged that planning was inadequate. In a situation where the protocol is unclear, "everybody does what they think is best," and a "mob mentality" sets in. Everyone rushes home, some get in accidents, everyone gets stuck.
So what's the best course of action going forward, to prepare for another storm a few years down the line? Atlanta and cities like it should "formulate a plan, have it in place, and have senior management aware of it," Allin said. That would "solve a fair amount of the anxiety."
But, he added, going through this once in a while isn't the end of the world. "Economically, suffering through it" may be the logical choice.

BETHESDA, Md., May 15 (UPI) -- A top U.S. health official, while marking National Women's Health Week, noted women can't care for their families if they don't care for themselves first.
Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said the way to honor mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and other women care-givers is to encourage them to make their health a priority and to take steps to live healthier, happier lives.
"Women are frequently the healthcare decision-makers in their families. We take time off from work to drive a parent to the doctor. We hold our children's hands while they get their vaccinations," Sebelius said in a statement. "We make the appointments for our spouses' checkups, and then make sure they actually go. We stretch and re-work our family budgets to pay the doctor's bills. And too often, we put our own health last."
The truth is unless women take care of themselves first, they cannot really take care for their families, Sebelius said.
"That means we have to eat right, exercise, and get the care we need to stay healthy. Unfortunately, preventive care has not always been easily accessible or affordable for everyone, including young women," Sebelius said.
The Affordable Care Act is making it preventive services such as mammograms, Pap smears, birth control and yearly well-woman visits are now available without co-payments or deductibles, Sebelius said.
"Starting next year, insurance companies will no longer be allowed to refuse us coverage just because we're battling breast cancer or have another pre-existing condition -- and they won't be allowed to charge us more just because we are women," Sebelius said.

Inauguration Day: Celebrating America
Today is a day for great pride.
Barack Obama will once again take the oath of office as president of the United States at noon. (Because Inauguration Day falls on a Sunday this year, there will be a public celebration of this event Monday, but today is when Obama officially begins his second term as the nation's chief executive.) The peaceful assumption of great power by a person elected by the nation's citizenry is truly remarkable.
This feature of life in our country has gone on for so long that most Americans regard it as quite routine. The truth is, however, that the persistence of this extraordinary system of governance is quite unusual. Throughout most of mankind's history nothing similar existed anywhere. Even in our very modern 21st century, in many lands gaining and keeping political power has very little relationship to the will of the people who reside there.
Americans differ on goals for their communities and the nation as a whole. Hard-fought election battles often involve serious policy disputes and contrasting visions of the future. There is, however, a consensus – so deeply held, there is rarely a need for its articulation – that governing power must be won at the polls. An election defeat leads inevitably to the surrender of the office that has been lost to the electoral winner. To Americans, that concept is absolutely basic. Our politicians disagree about a great deal, but they are united in the belief that no matter how strongly held a political philosophy may be, it can only be imposed here if the people so will it.
Take a few moments today to reflect on the importance to all Americans of the democratic process by which the citizenry determines who will wield presidential power in our nation.

A former Cape Coral mayor and council member was the obvious frontrunner in Tuesday's Primary Election, garnering more than 50 percent of the total votes cast in one city council race.
Jim Burch scored 57.39 percent, or 4,203 votes, for the District 1 seat. He was followed by David Headd, who took 26.41 percent - 1,934 votes. They will face off in the Nov. 5 General Election.
The third place slot went to Steven Golub, with 8.45 percent - 619 votes - while Graham Morris brought up the rear, earning 567 votes or 7.74 percent of the total number cast in the primary.

Jim Burch, left, jokes with supporter Lou Simmons after Tuesday's Primary Election. Burch will face David Headd for the Cape Coral City Council District 1 seat in November's General Election.
"In Cape Coral, you never really know what your lead is or what it's not. You never know until the votes are counted," Burch said Tuesday, adding that he has been on both sides of the ledger.
He can only tell voters who he is and what his experience is.
"And let them decide," Burch said.
He was "very happy" with the primary election results.
"Our message is really resonating with the people. They want to see that positive change," Burch said.
He noted that there are eight seats on the council, including the mayor, and every vote is equal.
"I want to bring some experience and leadership," Burch said.
He emphasized that the city needs to generate revenue by other methods than on the backs of the homeowners, and that pre-platted communities should be treated differently by the state. Burch has been working with officials, and will continue to do so, to allocate tax money for municipalities.
Headd also expressed happiness Tuesday about the election results.
"It was a very, very low turnout," he said. "I'm happy to get what I've gotten"
"I'm really excited because my message is finally getting out to quite a few people," Headd added.
His message is one of fiscal responsibility, of cutting the Cape's $1 billion debt.
"I hope to bring my message out to the rest of the city," Headd said of going into the general election.
In the coming months, his campaign plans to look into Burch's record on council.
"He was a pretty heavy spender," Headd said.
Leading into November, Burch's camp plans to continue its message.
"I want to continue to put out a positive vibration that Cape Coral can be a Southwest Florida leader," Burch said, adding that the council can legislate as a group instead of fighting with each other.
Burch also hopes to raise more funding than they had sought for the primary.
"We went into the primary with a relatively austere budget," he said. "I just didn't want to ask people who had no money to donate."
Burch thanked his opponents for running clean campaigns during the primary.
"I hope that David Headd continues that way," he said.
Golub said he had hoped Burch and Headd would split the votes and he would move on.
"I actually, realistically, knew I was going to lose," he said.
He thanked those who voted Tuesday, but expressed angst for the city's residents.
"I feel very bad for the people of the Cape," Golub said. "You're going to get the same old, same old. Nothing is going to change."
Fewer than 8 percent of the total registered voters cast a ballot in Tuesday's primary election.
Golub attributed the voter apathy to the work of the good old boys' network.
"That, to me, is the epitome with what is wrong with the Cape. The amount of apathy in the Cape," he said. "The people of Cape Coral are going to get what they deserve."
Asked what the winner in November should focus on, Golub said they should get rid of the utility tax and that they should prioritize the needs of the city's year-round residents as much as the snowbirds.
"I would like to see them change the direction that the city's going in," he said.
Morris did not immediately return a message Tuesday seeking comment.
The election results are not official until certified.

Before 86,037 at the Los Angeles Coliseum, Brett Hundley quieted his critics with a superlative, two-touchdown rushing performance. Coupled with a mistake-free night through the air, he guided the Bruins to a 35-14 victory.
Uneven season be damned, the redshirt sophomore had become the first UCLA quarterback in 15 years to win two straight over USC.
"That's the Brett I like," offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone said. "That's a hard position to play. There's a lot of factors that go into it. Who's surrounding you, your supporting cast. I think he just kind of relaxed back there, and was just Brett."
That supporting cast, though — what a job it did.
An offensive line that was already starting three true freshmen lost one of them less than four minutes into the game. Right tackle Caleb Benenoch was ejected after throwing a punch at USC defensive lineman J.R. Tavai.
Replacing him was redshirt sophomore Ben Wysocki, a little-used guard. Even from way up in the Coliseum press box, the drool from USC's vaunted defensive front seemed almost visible.
Then, something strange happened.
"I said, not just stand up to them, but impose our will on them every single play," offensive line coach Adrian Klemm said.
After giving up a sack on the opening series, UCLA only allowed one more through the rest of the game — a revelation considering that Arizona State racked up nine sacks a week ago.
"He's been paying attention, obviously," Klemm said of Wysocki, who looked like a transfer candidate at times this season. "Paying attention a little more than I thought he was."
It was a statement not only for him, but the unit as a whole. The patchwork unit had lost three tackles to injury this season, two of them starters, and often shouldered the blame for any of UCLA's offensive struggles. There was none of that as the regular season came to a close.
"We've had our moments throughout the season where we've done well," Klemm said. "People tend to focus on the things that we did poorly. A few plays in the game could ruin the whole game for us. I thought today was a game where we put it together early on."
Seeking new blood
Head coach Jim Mora made sure that any prospective Bruins watching ABC on Saturday night got some love.
"If I'm a high school player, I want to play at UCLA right now," Mora said after the 35-14 win over USC.
With no practices scheduled for the upcoming week, the Bruins' staff is already back on the recruiting trail. UCLA's 12-man class for 2014 is currently ranked just 50th nationally by Rivals.com, but Mora proved a year ago that he and his assistants could close strong into February.
Getting the school's first win at the Coliseum since 1997 won't hurt.
"There's rules where we can't talk to these guys, and they're all standing outside the locker room wanting to talk," said Klemm, named last year by multiple sites as the Pac-12 Recruiter of the Year. "That's an exciting thing. … Hopefully, this gives us a little bit of momentum going into it."
Barr closing in
Facing increased attention in an altered defensive role, linebacker Anthony Barr has nevertheless put up impressive numbers in his final year at UCLA. A finalist for four major national awards, the senior leads the Pac-12 with five forced fumbles and 20 tackles for loss.
That latter number may be the most impressive. In two years on defense, he has 41.5 tackles for loss, just four shy of tying the program's career mark set by Carnell Lake, a three-year starter and eventual five-time Pro Bowler.

I recently build a new htpc, with VNC server for remote desktop via LAN. I've used the this setup without any issues with the old htpc, but now I got 2 issues with it:
- There's a constant ghost pointer constant at a horizontal and vertical offset from the actual mouse pointer, and I see it flickering between the 2 positions. The offset depends on the position on the screen, and seems to be zero in the top left corner. The offset increases as I move away from the left/top side. At the bottom right corner, the 2 pointers are about 10 cm apart on my screen.
- I get to see a lost of artifact. For instance, if I close a window, some part of it disappears but a large portion remains on screen.
Some info:
HTPC: Windows 8.1 x64, running ultravnc server 18.104.22.168. I think I installed it as service. In any case, it starts automatically when windows starts
Client: Windows 7 x64, running VNC viewer 220.127.116.11.
On both sides I left the settings as default.
How can I fix this?

Roger Bradley wrote:Anybody prepared to argue? [ . . .] I too would rather think about Brigitte Bardot than rap.
None of the suggestions will make me change my mind about what I regard as anti-music (and it's specifically the rapping I object to, more than 'hip-hop' in general).
I think what I may have been hoping for in raising this subject was that some other grumpy old voices might have been raised to support me. Am I really the only one on this forum with good taste?
Well, Roger, I can't argue about who would rather think about Brigitte Bardot than rap, but I will say that I find your "good taste" rather narrow, the way you put it rather confrontational, and that the concept of what constitutes music has, I think, expanded since you formed your general opinion about such things as rap as "anti-music." Actually, I suspect the concept of what constitutes music changed long before you formed your opinion. But all that is only my opinion, personal as it is, and like a certain part of the anatomy, not only does everyone have one but everyone is entitled to one.

Fans may not yet know all the Ravens, but there will be no lack of facesfamiliar to Baltimore football fans when the NFL officially returns hereSunday.
Ceremonies before the opener against the Oakland Raiders will featureabout 50 former Colts players and the Baltimore Colts' Band. After theex-Colts are introduced, Ravens players will run between lines formed by theColts and the marching band.
In addition, a "mystery guest" will present the game ball to referee DaleHamer.
Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore, Art Donovan, John Mackey and Bert Jones areamong former Colts expected to attend. Ted Hendricks, who played for theRaiders after starting his career as a Colt, also will participate.
NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue is not expected to attend.
Ceremonies are scheduled to start at 12: 40 p.m.
Opening weekend festivities will begin Saturday night at Harborplace with"Celebrate the Return," a concert and fireworks show starting at 7 p.m. Ravensowner Art Modell, Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke, Gov. Parris N. Glendening and someplayers will attend.
Unsettled position
The biggest question mark for the Ravens entering the season is at tightend, where Frank Hartley's knee injury may force him to miss the opener.
The team has been in contact with free agents Eric Green and Johnny Mitchell, but if no move is made, the team may start the season with only twotight ends.
Starter Brian Kinchen and backup Harold Bishop are healthy but, despiteKinchen's solid preseason, coach Ted Marchibroda apparently isn't convincedeither one is the permanent answer.
Green's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said yesterday that he expectednegotiations to begin with the Ravens and Miami Dolphins. Both clubs wouldlike to sign Green for a minimum contract.
The Ravens also had been interested in tight end Tyji Armstrong, who wascut Sunday by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the Fort Worth (Texas)Star-Telegram reported today that he has agreed to terms with the Dallas Cowboys.
Accolades for linebackers
A big concern for Marchibroda going into training camp was at linebacker,but that situation has played out to the coach's liking.
"[Mike] Croel has played fine football," he said. "Jerrol Williams hascome along. Craig Powell and Mike Caldwell have played well. Ray Lewis hasprogressed even faster than what we had thought. I guess I've mentioned themall. They've all played well."
Two top picks to start
Lewis and left guard Jonathan Ogden, first-round draft picks just fourmonths ago, will both start Sunday.
Neither is fazed at the prospect of playing in his first NFL game.
"I don't look at it like that," Lewis said. "A game is a game to me. I'mjust going to go out there and do my job."
Ogden, the team's first pick and fourth overall, said: "I've improvedevery game in the preseason. . . . I think we both have the same confidencethat we both feel we deserve to be out there."
Missing Raiders
The Raiders will have a different look Sunday.
Starting quarterback Jeff Hostetler will not play because of a kneeinjury, and wide receiver Rocket Ismail was traded to the Carolina Panthers onSunday. Two weeks ago, defensive coordinator John Fox resigned.
Billy Joe Hobert will start in place of Hostetler.

The Big Society is about helping people to come together to improve their own lives. It's about putting more power in people's hands – a massive transfer of power from Whitehall to local communities.
There are three key parts to the Big Society agenda:
The Office for Civil Society, part of the Cabinet Office, works across government departments to translate the Big Society agenda into practical policies, provides support to voluntary and community organisations and is responsible for delivering a number of key Big Society programmes, namely:
The Government has committed to setting up a Big Society Bank to give social enterprises, charities and voluntary organisations access to greater resources. It will be set up using money from dormant bank accounts (those untouched for 15 years or more and available for spending in England) and will encourage investment in social change.
The National Citizen Service (NCS) scheme will bring 16 year olds from different backgrounds together over the summer to take part in residential and home-based activities such as outdoor challenges and local community projects.
Cabinet Office will run pilots for National Citizen Service in the summer of 2011 and 2012, involving 10,000 young people.
Over the lifetime of this parliament, the Community Organisers programme will identify, train and support 5,000 people who want to make a difference to their community. The organisers will have strong understanding of local needs and will catalyse social action.
Community First is a new fund that will encourage social action through new and existing neighbourhood groups. The fund will empower people in areas with high levels of deprivation and enable them to take more responsibility for their communities.

I like most of the products from Fine Art America. However, I think this product should be called a "sheet" rather than a Tapestry because I think of a tapestry as being woven and having some weight to it. The image is ok but somewhat blurred. This product might come in handy for tv production backgrounds with alternate images especially if the image is carried to the utmost edges.

Information About Birth Records
The Louisiana Vital Records Registry maintains birth records ONLY for births that occurred in Louisiana. If you need a certified copy of a birth certificate from another state, you must contact that state's vital records office.
Under Louisiana law, birth records are strictly confidential until 100 years after the year of birth. Birth records older than 100 years are available at the Louisiana State Archives.

Uniform regulations for naval officers were first introduced in 1748, differences in rank being show by the shape and cut of the lapels and cuffs. In 1825 jackets and trousers replaced frocked coats and breeches and in 1833 peaked caps with cap badges were introduced for use with working dress.
Further changes in the Victorian era led to the present day working uniform.
A 'square rig' for seamen was introduced in 1857, with badges worn on the left sleeve to denote differences between senior and junior ratings. Petty Officers moved into 'fore' and 'aft' rig of jacket, waistcoat, trousers and peaked caps in 1859.
Since 1997 all ratings, including both sexes, have worn the same ceremonial uniform.

Setting up a LAMP server is a common task for systems administrators, and FreeBSD is one of the most reliable and stable operating systems available. You can swap out the L in LAMP with F for FreeBSD to build a fast and reliable Web server.
In this article I assume FreeBSD is already installed. If not, make sure you download the latest stable production version of FreeBSD and run the installer. I recommend choosing the MINIMUM option at the installer screen to quickly install only the most basic and necessary things.
To install applications on FreeBSD, use the ports files. Ports are plain text files that know where to download source code, so that the software will be compiled on your computer. This way you can change settings (including or excluding specific modules) as you want, and the software will fit perfectly to the specifications of your computer. First, you have to make sure that the latest ports files are installed. If you've never installed the ports, issue
portsnap fetch extract in the shell; otherwise, issue
portsnap fetch update. This will download the latest ports files. After a bunch of messages that show you what files have been downloaded, you're ready to go.
Next you need to compile and install Apache, the Web server itself, using command like those below. After changing to the right location (the first command), the second command brings up a configuration screen where you can change settings. You might want to enable IPv6 support or activate the proxy module, but the standard settings are usually fine. After you have accepted the settings, Apache will automatically be compiled and installed. The last three lines make sure Apache and the required modules start automatically with the operating system:
make config install distclean
echo 'apache2_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'apache2ssl_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'accf_http_ready="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf && kldload accf_http
Once Apache is installed properly, you must configure your server. First, enable SSL support and create the certificate and key files. The SSL key file is your private file for changing the password and restoring certificates. The SSL certificate file is the certificate itself, which will be used to assure visitors' Web browsers that your server is the server they want to talk to. By default, the SSL certificate file is /usr/local/etc/apache22/server.crt, and the SSL key file is /usr/local/etc/apache22/server.key. You can check or change this by searching for
SSLCertificateFile or
SSLCertificateKeyFile, respectively, in /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-ssl.conf. Since version 2 of Apache, the main configuration file is divided into several extra files in /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/. This makes it easier to find specific options and reduces the size of the main configuration file. If you don't find an option in the main configuration, you should check the extra files.
Now you need to change to the right location and generate the key file. With that key, you can generate a certificate-signing request, which tells a certificate authority to sign your key. You can either send a request to an authority such as VeriSign, or sign it yourself. If the certificate is signed by a professional authority, it will cost money, but assure visitors that this Web server definitely belongs to you and not somebody else. Self-signing the certificate will cause a warning to appear in visitors' browsers when they enter your site that the certificate is self-signed, but will cost nothing at all. The following code shows you how to self-sign the certificate:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt
chmod 0400 server.key server.crt
The key and certificate files are generated and in the right place with the proper permissions. However, you still need to configure some things. You have to make sure the server administrator's email address is set correctly by searching for
ServerAdmin in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf.
DocumentRoot specifies where the Web documents are located; set it to
/srv/www/01 on your server. Letting users host their own private Web content can cause some harm, so disable it by commenting out
Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-userdir.conf. Finally, enable SSL support by activating
Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-ssl.conf. In /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-default.conf, disable
ServerSignature to prevent the server from showing more information than it has to. Make sure the
server-status and the
server-info sections in /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-info.conf are commented out. The less information others have about the Web server, the better it is for the security staff.
In usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, set the directory for every SSL connection to the server. Note that
lawrencium is the name of the server in this example; you should change this to the name of your own server:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName lawrencium
ServerAlias lawrencium.ipc.net
DocumentRoot /srv/www/02/
<Directory /src/www/02/>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/etc/apache22/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/etc/apache22/ssl.key/server.key
AllowOverride None
Order Deny, Allow
You now have one directory (/srv/www/01) for all connections on port 80, and one directory (/srv/www/02) for all connections on port 443.
At this point, the Web server is ready to serve static documents. However, most Web sites contain dynamic PHP content, such as forums, chats, and galleries.
PHP installation is quick and easy. Compile and install the PHP package itself and the PHP extensions and make sure that the Apache module is compiled when you install PHP v5:
make config install distclean
cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions
make config install distclean
To make Apache serve PHP sites, you have to tell it how to handle PHP files. Add the following entries to /usr/local/etc/apache2/httpd.conf directly after all the
LoadModule lines:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
index.php as the directory index:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
PHP includes a recommended configuration file that is secure for most purposes. Disable
allow_url_fopen (which allows you to operate on remote FTP/HTTP sites just like on local files), because it can become harmful when used incorrectly:
cp /usr/local/etc/php-ini-recommended /usr/local/etc/php.ini
PHP is now installed and configured. However, most PHP applications use databases as well. MySQL, a database system, is stable, open source, and doesn't cost a penny.
Compile and install MySQL with SSL support and add an entry to /etc/rc.conf to start the MySQL server automatically with the operating system:
make install WITH_OPENSSL=yes
make distclean
echo 'mysql_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
Set a root password (
p3Df1IsT in the commands below). Note that because you're specifying the password on the shell, it is stored in
the shell history (e.g., ~/.bash_history or ~/.histfile, depending on which shell you used), so for security reasons clearing the shell history is a good idea, especially if the root account is shared:
mysqladmin -u root password p3Df1IsT
mysql -u root -p
rm /root/.history
Now remove all anonymous accounts by typing the following commands at the MySQL command prompt after you've logged in. The fourth command gives you a list of users without passwords; you can either set each password or delete the users. The last command changes the name of the default root account to
mmu002. Changing the root account to an account of your choice is a good idea in case someone wants to try to get your root password. Typically a cracker tries the user name
root and some default or dictionary passwords. In this case the default
root account does not exist, which makes it a lot harder to break in. Be sure to choose a name not everybody could guess; things like your name or your dog's name are bad examples:
DELETE FROM user WHERE user="";
SELECT * FROM user WHERE Password="";
UPDATE user SET user='mmu002' WHERE user='root';
FreeBSD doesn't create a MySQL configuration file by default, so you have to do this yourself by creating /etc/my.cnf, which changes the default port to 29912. The server allows connections made only from 127.0.0.1 (i.e., localhost). The last command shows only databases the user actually has read and write access to; without this option, MySQL would show all users all databases:
This article could end here, but it would be unforgivable to not mention phpMyAdmin in an article about LAMP.
phpMyAdmin makes database administration a lot easier. It is used so frequently that it's almost a standard. You need to install it and set the links. In the commands below, we set up http://localhost/phpMyAdmin to access phpMyAdmin (that is, we link the installed phpMyAdmin directory in
wwwroot), then use a configuration skeleton as the default configuration, and make sure the secret passphrase (which will be used to encrypt passwords), the root user, and the root password are set corresponding to your MySQL options:
make config install distclean
ln -s /usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin /usr/local/www/apache22/data
cd /usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin && cp config.sample.inc.php
vim config.inc.php
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'kJ76Fgeak98h6thjd6';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'p3Df1IsT';
Your new multifunctional FreeBSD server is now installed, configured, secured, and ready to go. When managing a server, keep a few things in mind. First, keep the server up-to-date. FreeBSD offers great tools to keep the FreeBSD kernel, the FreeBSD user space, and all installed applications on it up-to-date and secure. An obsolete server is a security risk. Second, make sure you read the configuration files and the man pages when changing settings, reconfiguring applications, or if you just want to know what a specific command or file is there for.
Your server can now host static Web pages and dynamic Web pages, such as forums, chats, and picture galleries, securely, and you have phpMyAdmin to help you configure the databases that often play a central role in Web hosting.

So we've been eating a lot of familiar recipes and not experimenting much. Experimentation needs elbow room. And stamina. Both seem to be in rather short supply here. Which led me to remember this terrific recipe from before my no-chicken, no coconut days. It disappeared from the blog for awhile (don't ask!). So I thought it might be time to bring it back.
A dab of olive oil, as needed
4 split happy free-range organic chicken breasts
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
1 Bermuda red onion, chopped
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 zucchini squash, cut into half moons
1 large red pepper, cored, cut into chunks
1 15-oz can pineapple chunks with juice
2 cups organic chicken broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1-2 teaspoons curry- mild or hot, to taste* (I used red curry)
1-2 teaspoons paprika (I'd love to try smoked paprika)
Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
2 teaspoons organic brown sugar, or raw organic agave nectar
1 14-oz can coconut milk
1/2 cup sliced black olives
Juice from 1 large, or two small, limes
To serve:
2 1/2 to 3 cups cooked brown rice
Silvered almonds, if desired
Serves 4.
- Serve topped with fresh chopped cilantro, if you like.
- Serve with slices of avocado.
- Season this dish according to your own taste buds. I like to heat things up, so I use lots of spice.

Sanctum Soho, not quite as exclussive as one would be led to believe.
The room was very small but comfortable.
No coffee or tea making facilities. No inclusive bottles of water but a well stocked fridge with nuts , chocolates etc. All of which are expensive. The roof top bar was empty which may be typical for a Tuesday evening. I did purchase a glass of white wine (£7.50) and a JD with coke (£26.50!) . Somewhat extortionate I thought particularly when I checked my bill in the morning to discover this cost but also a service charge the bar added of £4.25. So £38.25 for two drinks. Thank goodness I did not make an evening of it. The location of the hotel is very good for those into shopping.

Good Location
The hotel is very well situated for Oxford Street, Piccadilly and Soho.
The hotel were very accommodating in allowing us to leave our suitcase with then whilst we went site seeing and very nice to have a late check out on the Sunday morning. I think it would have been nice to have been shown the room and not just told where to locate it.
The bar area was very comfortable to relax in after an evening out.

Awful experience
Paid 772 Pounds for 2 days.
The shower only had boiling hot water. The tv didnt work, staff came up to the room and also couldnt fix. The air-con did not work. Technical help was sent and still no help. When I complained about it the hotel staff shouted at me and said they have never heard about these issues in their 5 years at the hotel. So I paid the full bill and just left, never to go back again !!

business re-union
great quirky hotel and very unique - a pleasure to find something different.
Room was spacious, bed was the best Ive slept in in London, and the roof top bar was ideal for a late night G and T and a cigarette. Top marks indeed - will definitely be back !!

Great intimate hotel with quirky fittings and helpful staff right in the centre
This is a great intimate and quirky hotel to stay in for a break in the city.
I read quite a few reports of how noisy it was but we stayed on the second floor and apart from the city noise, it was great and quiet. the beds are really comfortable and the staff are lovely. Breakfast is at a convenient time (being served until 11am). Great to have a lie in. Jacuzzi wasn't in use in October on a Tuesday evening but the roof top terrace bar was busy and inviting. I would recommend a stay here, a bit pricey but then London is!

Fabulous hotel
A thoroughly delightful little find right in the heart of London, A few minutes walk from both oxford street , Carnaby street , china town and the west end shows.
Highly recommended. I stayed here with my daughter for a few days away and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, we had a fab time from the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble and we felt well looked after. We stayed in a Deluxe room which was very comfortable and had a silver and black theme, bathrobes and slippers were provided which just added to the overall experience. I will definitely be bringing my husband next time as we are both rock fans and the hotel had a great musical feel, we even saw a few celebs while enjoying our coffee !. delightful
I highly recommend this hotel and would like to say a big thank you to Michael and all the staff for making our experience so fabulous

Materials Needed:
- embroidery hoop
-Tear away stabilizer
- Sharp curved scissors
Transfer the design to your machine.
Embroider color 1 on stabilizer only. This is a placement line showing you where to lay your fabric that has been fused with the heavyweight interfacing. After color 1 is complete, center the fabric over the placement line making sure there is fabric outside of the placement line.
Embroider color 2 which is a tackdown stitch, holding the fabric to the tearaway stabilizer. After color 2 is complete, use a small pair of sharp scissors to trim right next to the stitching line. It is very important that you take your time and trim as close as possible using your best pair of scissors.
Before you embroider the back appliqué fabric, you must remove the hoop from the embroidery arm and lay a piece of appliqué fabric over the back of the hoop. Make sure it will cover the tag with extra fabric outside of the stitching line. If necessary, you can use painter's tape to hold the fabric in place while you put the hoop back on the embroidery arm.
Embroider the back appliqué fabric tackdown stitches and then trim the appliqué fabric, from the wrong side, close to the stitching line. It will be necessary to remove the hoop from the embroidery arm to trim. If you have used painter's tape, remove all of the tape before putting the hoop back on the embroidery arm.
When you are all done, tear away the finished tag from the tearaway stabilizer while it's still in the embroidery hoop.
When the parts are assembled with the completion of glue or Zigzag sewing machine

The Chinese government expanded its probe of Microsoft's business practices in the country, alleging "major problems" in the company's electronic data. In a statement, China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) said the Redmond, Wash.-based company will be required to issue more documents for the agency's anti-trust probe.
Microsoft couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Microsoft has experience tussling with the Chinese regulators. In July, 2014, the same agency also launched an investigation into Microsoft, alleging that it "had not fully disclosed anti-competition information about its Windows operating system and Microsoft Office application," according to the Chinese government's official press agency, Xinhua.
"Inspectors are investigating a Microsoft vice president and senior managers, and have made copies of the firm's financial statements and contracts," Xinhua reported. The Chinese regulators seized documents, e-mails and other data from Microsoft's computers and servers, it said.
In 2013, the SAIC also reviewed complaints from Chinese companies that Microsoft had caused software compatibility problems by using "tie-in sales and verification codes in its Windows operating system and Microsoft Office application," Xinhua reported.
