Sampling Methods
CIA Exam Questions -- Sampling Methods
1. The internal auditor suspects that the invoices from a small number of vendors contain serious errors and therefore limits the sample to those vendors only. A major disadvantage of selecting such a directed sample of items to examine is the
a. Difficulty in obtaining sample items
b. Inability to quantify the sampling error related to the total population of vendor invoices
c. Absence of a normal distribution
d. Tendency to sample a greater number of units
2. When sampling is used, sufficiency of audit evidence is achieved when
a. Each item in the population has a chance of being selected
b. The standard deviation in the sample is less than or equal to the corresponding statistic for the population
c. The evidence gathered is directly related to the assertion the auditor is attempting to verify
d. There is reasonable assurance that the items selected are representative of the sampled population
3. In order to quantify the risk that sample evidence leads to erroneous conclusions about the sampled population,
a. Each item in the sampled population must have an equal chance of being selected
b. Each item in the sampled population must have a chance of being selected that is proportional to its book value
c. Each item in the sampled population must have an equal or known probability of being selected
d. The precise number of items in the population must be known
4. Each time an internal auditor draws a conclusion based on evidence from a sample, an additional risk, sampling risk, is introduced. An example of sampling risk is
a. Projecting the results of sampling beyond the population tested
b. Using an improper audit procedure with a sample
c. Incorrectly applying an audit procedure to sample data
d. Drawing an erroneous conclusion from sample data
5. Several risks are inherent in the evaluation of audit evidence that has been obtained through the use of statistical sampling. an example of a beta or Type II error related to sampling risk is the failure to
a. Properly define the population to be sampled
b. Draw a random sample from the population
c. Reject the statistical hypothesis that a book value is not materially misstated when the true book value is materially misstated
d. Accept the statistical hypothesis that a book value is not materially misstated when the true book value is not materially misstated
6. A confidence level of 90% means that
a. The expected error rate is equal to 10%
b. The point estimate obtained is within 10% of the true population value
c. There are 90 chances out of 100 that the sample results will not vary from the true characteristics of the population by more than a specified amount
d. A larger sample size is required than if the desired confidence level were equal to 95%
7. In statistical sampling, setting the appropriate confidence level and desired sample precision are decisions made by the auditor that will affect sample size for a substantive test. Which of the following should not be a factor in the choice of desired precision?
a. The sampling risk
b. The size of an account balance misstatement considered material
c. The audit resources available for execution of the sampling plan
d. The objectives of the audit test being conducted
8. An auditor's statistical sample drawn from a population of invoices indicates a mean value of $150 and sampling precision of +/- $30 at a 95% confidence level. Which of the following statements correctly interprets these sample data?
a. In repeated sampling, the point estimate of the true population mean will be $150 about 95% of the time
b. The probability is 95% that the true population mean is $150
c. In repeated sampling, intervals with precision +/- $30 around the sample mean will always contain the true population mean
d. The probability is 95% that the range $120 to $180 contains the true population mean
9. An auditor draws a random sample of 225 items from a population of 10,000 and calculates the sample standard deviation at $386. Sampling precision is calculated as +/- $50.40 with a confidence level of 95%. If a sample of 900 items had been drawn and if the same sample standard deviation of $386 had been calculated, the sample precision would have been approximately
a. $200
b. $100
c. $25
d. $13
10. The accounting department reports the accounts payable balance as $175,000. You are willing to accept that balance if it is within $15,000 of the actual balance. Using a variables sampling plan, you compute a 95% confidence interval of $173,000 to $190,000. You would therefore
a. Find it impossible to determine the acceptability of the balance
b. Accept the balance but with a lower level of confidence
c. Take a larger sample before totally rejecting the balance and requiring adjustments
d. Accept the $175,000 balance because the confidence interval is within the materiality limits 11. The measure of variability of a statistical sample that serves as an estimate of the population variability is the
a. Basic precision
b. Range
c. Standard deviation
d. Confidence interval
12. The variability of a population, as measured by the standard deviation, is the
a. Extent to which the individual values of the items in the population are spread about the mean

a. Stratifying the population
b. Increasing the size of the sample
c. Decreasing the size of the sample
d. All of the above

b. Determine the standard deviation of the sample
c. Measure the variability that exists among all possible invoice samples of the same size
d. Perform difference estimation and avoid a large sample
15. In conducting a substantive test of an account balance, an auditor hypothesizes that no material misstatement exists. The risk that sample results will support the hypothesis when a material misstatement actually does exist is the risk of

James Fallows Is Back, Baby!
One of my favorite writers, James Fallows, a correspondent for The Atlantic, is back on American soil. Permanently, it seems. For the last three years he has been on assignment in China, reporting wonderful essays for the magazine from Beijing.
Since I've been on staff here, we've had Fallows on the show a couple of times. During the 2008 Olympics, he agreed to stay up late to join us from our bureau there. (For the life of me, I can't remember how we convinced him to do that, with the time difference.)
On his blog, Fallows is reflecting on what it's like to return to the United States. Last week, in another installment of his "notes on repatriation," he focused on the recession and the media. It's not all serious stuff. He posted these photographs of some native fauna. And, after a great imagined summary of the "beer summit," he rejoices in something that is truly great about the United States: the ready availability of good brews.
Although he has big shoes to fill, Evan Osnos is doing an admirable job at The New Yorker's website blogging about China. Add him to your RSS feeds, folks.

Re: Fair Credit Reporting Act
The creditor's reporting is frozen as of filing. If it wasn't charged off then they can't change the reporting, or show a status date later than the BK discharge. Credit reporting is collection activity in violation of the permanent stay.
It's a little less clear to me what the status of the inquiries is. They are no longer a creditor because of your discharge, so what is their (alleged) permissible purpose? Even if you still owed them these should be accounts management (soft) inquiries not hard inquiries. But I'm not sure how you can force the CRAs to fix this, but I would definitely NOT do an online dispute. A written dispute CMRRR might get more attention, although they hate to deal with removalk of inquiries.
My BK lawyer was willing to advise on situations like this at no charge, and if cause for a suit arose sue the creditor on a contingent fee basis. Did you have a BK attorney and what do they say?

A must have PS3 exclusiveDont just buy this game because this is the Second Version of a critically acclaimed exclusive. You need to play the Original inFAMOUS first to understand the mechanics of a game that makes you choose between two paths the good path or the evil one. Choose the good path and the city calls you a hero a champion and helps you in those ever so obvious battles and ambushes with your enemies by throwing stones (just an eg), choose the second one and the city respects you out of FEAR, well think about it which normal person will go up against a walking transformer. The City is gorgeous and varied. … (Expand)

Almost awesomeFinnicky camera movement during melees, some shooting through walls (unforgivable really) and visible rendering near the horizon apart, this game is brilliant. It's not-so-great visual quality was forgivable for the first part since the gameplay was so good. And that aspect is solid. It's too much fun. But Sucker Punch should have sorted the graphics out.

Beautiful game!If you liked the original inFamous game, inFamous 2 is a must have. I finished the game in 10-12 days but another good thing about this game is that there are 2 options in every mission. If you finished the game once doing all the good missions, you can start again doing the evil missions. There is a great variety of powers which can be bought using experience points. Definitely worth the price.

FORT KNOX, Ky. (April 4, 2013)--A Fort Knox soldier wanted for questioning in the shooting death of a civilian employee was in custody Thursday in Tennessee.
A statement from the Army's criminal investigations division said the soldier is a member of Fort Knox's 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, but didn't identify him.
But FBI spokeswoman Mary Trotman said Thursday night that Marquinta E. Jacobs, who is named in a court filing, is the man whom Army investigators said was apprehended Thursday in Portland, Tenn.
The FBI said in the court filing that Jacobs fired a .45-caliber handgun at the victim, "striking him several times."
The victim was an employee of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command, and the shooting occurred in a parking lot outside that building.
The shooting Wednesday prompted officials at Fort Knox to briefly lock down the post's gates.

The last word on KhadrWritten by Ezra Levant

Are you happy now?Written by Philip Slayton
There's a general belief that a lot of lawyers don't enjoy what they do. Their work makes them unhappy. The empirical evidence tends to support this suspicion. In a recent American Bar Association survey, for example, only 55 per cent of lawyers who responded said they were satisfied with their job. In a 1998 study of Michigan lawyers, 60 per cent said they would not become lawyers if they could start their careers over. It is reported that half of all lawyers don't want their children to follow in their footsteps. There are a number of surveys like this, particularly in the United States, all showing much of the same results.
You're more biased than you thinkWritten by Gail J. Cohen
Last month, I attended the International Bar Association's conference in Vancouver. About 5,000 lawyers from around the world descended on the city to discuss issues from law firm management to emerging M&A trends to dawn raids to professional ethics and the appointment of judges to the International Criminal Court. There was a little of something for everyone with points of view from across the globe.

No claim means no claim!Written by Bryan Haynes
It is a fundamental principle of contract law, one which public policy favours and subject only to certain well-established and narrowly defined exceptions, that parties are free to determine for themselves the terms of contracts voluntarily entered into. Regrettably, the Supreme Court of Canada recently departed from this principle in Tercon Contractors Ltd. v. British Columbia (Transportation and Highways), thereby injecting uncertainty into the enforceability of contractual arrangements.
Positions of influenceWritten by Gail J. Cohen
Every magazine and web site has a list of the top this or top that. And love or hate the lists, everybody ends up reading them and talking about them. At Canadian Lawyer, we're no stranger to lists but for the most part we've not tackled the most controversial type of list: one about individual lawyers. So about 18 months or so ago, I decided to take on the task and come up with such a list. Its main characteristic, though, had to be that it was different from all other lists in the various legal publications and web sites dotting the Canadian landscape. What I realized is that most such tallies look at one particular area and don't take into account the law as a whole: every area of practice, government, regulatory, judiciary, etc.
A sad lossWritten by Gail J. Cohen
It is with great sadness that I sit to write my editorial for this issue. Upon arriving at work this morning, I was greeted with an e-mail message from a journalist colleague in Quebec notifying me that Mike King, our correspondent in Montreal, had passed away over the weekend from a brain aneurysm. He was 51.

First, let me thank you for this wonderful work! If there were an award for the best minimalist theme, I would vote for this one. I actually tried to rate it with five stars, but it seems like the rating system is broken.
Now my question: if I publish an image including a link, there is always this grey bar below the image. Is there an easy way to disable it by default?

Foam Insulation
As far as Tom Silva is concerned, low-density polyurethane spray foam is the insulation technology to beat. Consider its advantages: It forms a lock-tight bond with studs and sheathing that blocks all air movement, it flexes enough to accommodate seasonal wood movement, and it retards (but doesn't halt) moisture passage. While spray foam is expensive, its installation costs are offset in the long run by lower heating and cooling costs.

Police: Ohio murder-suicide planned 4 days earlier
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – Police say planning for an Ohio murder-suicide that left three children, their grandmother and their uncle dead began at least four days before it happened.
Investigators in Toledo said at a news conference Friday police found receipts dated Nov. 8 for items found in the garage where the five family members died from carbon monoxide poisoning on Monday.
Police say food and coloring books were found in the vehicle where the bodies were.
Police also say the garage windows and doors were boarded up and screwed shut and the garage door opener was disabled.
Investigators and family friends say the murder-suicide appears to stem from a family disagreement over where the children should live. They say notes found at the house indicate the children's grandmother and uncle planned the killings using fumes from a pickup truck.

Well, I've had the Compiz Anaglyph plugin installed since I started working with Oneiric. It's worked SUPERBLY...that is, until I upgraded to Precise. All the other eyecandy I use for ubuntu works flawlessly. Did something happen during the upgrade, or is the Anaglyph plugin just incompatible with 12.04?
Perhaps the project was re-named else discontinued. I believe this is the solution to your dilemma with 12.04. Open terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type this:

Hello !
My name is Mike Polson. I'm a Program Manager here @ Microsoft working in the Windows Digital Media Division. My colleagues in the division develop the ultra-cool:
I use and Love all these products. Most are available as free downloads!
Ok-- so what do I actually do?
I design systems and databases for providing Metadata Services for Windows Media Player.
What's a Metadata Service?
Well, metadata is "data about data". We provide several metadata services. Our most popular service in terms of usage is CD metadata.
Hopefully, you've noticed that when you insert a CD into Windows Media Player, it displays the album name, artist name, and all your track (song) titles. In addition, you may see a pretty picture of the actual CD jacket.
Although it may appear too, that "metadata" doesn't actually reside on your CD. Instead, it is provided via our online service. If you computer is connected to the internet, when you insert a CD into Windows Media Player for the first time, it will query our database. If we have a match for your CD, we will send you fresh and shiny metadata.
Our goal is that this service "just works" -- so how are we doing?

A Jan. 13, 2008 file photo shows traffic rounding New York's Columbus Circle and its 70-foot-tall column topped by a statue of Christopher Columbus high above a hectic intersection in midtown Manhattan. Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi has encased the 70-foot-tall column in scaffolding and is in the process of erecting a living room - complete with couch, coffee table and lamps - around the figure of Columbus. Some Italian-Americans say the art project makes a mockery of the great explorer and trivializes history. (AP Photo/Cameron Bloch, File)

Give War a Chance
An unpleasant truth often overlooked is that although war is a great evil, it does have a great virtue: it can resolve political conflicts and lead to peace. This can happen when all belligerents become exhausted or when one wins decisively. Either way the key is that the fighting must continue until a resolution is reached. War brings peace only after passing a culminating phase of violence. Hopes of military success must fade for accommodation to become more attractive than further combat.
Since the establishment of the United Nations and the enshrinement of great-power politics in its Security Council, however, wars among lesser powers have rarely been allowed to run their natural course. Instead, they have typically been interrupted early on, before they could burn themselves out and establish the preconditions for a lasting settlement. Cease-fires and armistices have frequently been imposed under the aegis of the Security Council in order to halt fighting. NATO's intervention in the Kosovo crisis follows this pattern.
But a cease-fire tends to arrest war-induced exhaustion and lets belligerents reconstitute and rearm their forces. It intensifies and prolongs the struggle once the cease-fire ends -- and it does usually end. This was true of the Arab-Israeli war of 1948-49, which might have come to closure in a matter of weeks if two cease-fires ordained by the Security Council had not let the combatants recuperate. It has recently been true in the Balkans. Imposed cease-fires frequently interrupted the fighting between Serbs and Croats in

This paper considers the impact of interleaving and combining multiple DMT symbols in a single RS codeword on the performance of Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Lines (ADSL) in the presence of impulse noise. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in xDSL technology due to its high data rate capability and relative ease of deployment. Impulse noise is one of the main impairments for xDSL systems and different framing techniques are aimed at mitigating the impact of impulse noise. In the ADSL standard techniques for interleaving and combining of several consecutive symbols into a single FEC codeword are used. This paper considers the performance of the above techniques at higher layers of the protocol stack. The results are based on simulations of a generic ADSL system with a new broadband-oriented impulse noise model. The conclusions include a comparison between the packet error rates of the two techniques at different bit rates and the interaction between them when used together. The aim of this research is to find a suitable set of framing parameters and help designers in their choice of single or dual latency ADSL systems.

AbstractA document can express a wealth of information about its author, including potential groups they might sympathize with to the opinions or emotions they convey. This effort advances authorship analysis into deeper inference and understanding about who the author is. Demographic attributes such as gender are predicted, and the range of emotions expressed in their writing are automatically identified and incorporated into their profile. Our capabilities will detect vulnerabilities to the authorship analysis system, including attempts to deceive authorship identification. The AGILE system will produce a multi-faceted portrait of the individual. A visual analysis tool will display results and will integrate information about groups of similar authors. Our authorship analysis will be extended into multiple languages, beginning with Arabic. Despite being one of the world"s most widely spoken languages, sentiment and semantic analysis of Arabic text is a largely underexplored area of research. This software will evolve capabilities for inference on Arabic text. DAC"s authorship analysis efforts will lead to a full-scale portrait of an author, including multi-lingual text analysis and visual tools to help users quickly navigate through a versatile and complex analysis of the author"s identity.

I have a Compaq Presario sr2017cl running windows 8 pro 64bit, Athlon 64x2 cpu. Specs. says I can only install 4x1g of ram. I want to know if I can put 4x2g of ram into my machine. If yes do I increase MHz, this is what I have now installed 4 sticks at 1g PC2 5300 (667 MHz) DDR2 DIMMs. Motherboard PASUS A8M2N-LA, 800w PSU.
Can you physically? Yes, well it work? Most likely not. This looks like a "budget" machine, where the manufacturer limits the machines capabilities. 4 GB of RAM on a 64 bit machines is an odd limit to have... And even if you could this would have no effect on the speed of the memory.
A machine may be able to physically handle more larger memory modules, but it may not be able to supply enough electricity to operate them properly, or the firmware/circuitry may not be able to access all of the larger module. There is no way to tell without looking further into the details of the system (which one may not have access to), or to, of course, just try it.

Outside my window... rays of warm sunshine, deep blue skies and bird songs. Thank you, Lord, for Spring!
I am thinking... of ideal summer picnic recipes fit for a crowd. I'd really love it if you would share your suggestions with me :)
I am thankful...for a cute little home to call my very own. I've just been so very blessed by the Lord!
In the kitchen... enough Salvadorean Beef & Vegetable Soup, known as "Sopa de Res," to feed a small army.
I am wearing... a relaxing blue jeans jacket and my turquoise spring sandals.
I am creating... a homemade board game for a Grade 4 project (starring explorer Henry Hudson) with my younger son.
I am going... to endeavor to "stop", to be still, to rest - inside & out.
I am wondering... when is a good time to buy my boys a new pet and what shall it be? Though, none can replace their beloved fuzzy hamster.
I am reading... library books for beauty tips and event hosting ideas.
I am hoping... that my effort towards every accomplishment that pertains to my sphere brings a positive lasting influence.
I am looking forward to... an upcoming family road trip. Will hubby decide on Victoria or Oregon?
I am learning... how to balance: loving myself as well - not just loving others.
Around the house... hanging fuchsia-colored silk flower planters adorn our balcony.
I am pondering... to journal my thoughts and daily events as I used to when I was a young lady. Life goes by so fast, some memories are too precious not to make a note of.
A favorite verse for today... "Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth." (Psalm 50:2)
One of my favorite things... listening to my older son play the piano - simply brings so much joy to my heart <3
A few plans for the rest of the week: accomplishing a bit more spring cleaning each day and spending real quality time with my loved ones.
A peek into my day... a quick visit to my favorite bookstore before I head to the theaters for an 'epic' action movie with my 3 men :)
* * *
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
(Psalm 118:24)

CINCINNATI -- Little did the Cincinnati Bengals know this past offseason, but when the NFL powers that be sat down and organized this season's schedule, they set up the most favorable transition between Weeks 4 and 5 that the franchise could have possibly envisioned.
It's a dream scenario, really.
If someone had written those exact words six months ago, six weeks ago or even six days ago, many of you probably would have shaken your heads and thought the person who actually considered it a good thing the Bengals had a seven-day turnaround involving the Browns and Patriots was crazy.
Then again, six months or six weeks ago, very few of us could have predicted the Bengals would be 2-2 with quarterback drama and an unidentifiable offense. Even fewer probably would have imagined the Bengals' loss would include one to a once-little-known backup Browns quarterback. Even fewer would have thought those same Browns would be sitting at 3-2 at the start of Week 5, and holding a slim lead on the rest of the AFC North.
But here we are. All of the above has happened, and the undefeated New England Patriots are coming to Cincinnati hoping to win a fifth straight game that could deflate the Bengals' once-hopeful season.
As bad of a scenario as that might appear to be, it's actually one the Bengals, a team coming off a rough division loss during which very little went well, are actually embracing. For them, Sunday afternoon's home game against the Patriots comes at a good time.
"Anytime you play a New England football team, if you're up and down about who you are and what your style is, you're going to get your tail whipped," Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. "So you've got to know what you're good at, and you've got to go in and do it. That's the only way you beat New England. And that's the truth.
"If you're wishy-washy on what you want to do or what kind of team you want to be, you're in trouble. So this is a great week for us. Here we are, we're 2-2 and we get a chance to decide what kind of team we want to be. This week will tell us with the way we come out and play."
The Bengals are embracing the challenge that the tough-to-beat Patriots and their Super Bowl-winning veteran quarterback, Tom Brady, pose. They're embracing the fact that they might be facing one of the better offensive lines they will see this season. They're embracing the difficulty the venerable and astute Patriots coach Bill Belichick poses from a schematic standpoint.
"These are the games you're supposed to wake up for," cornerback Adam Jones said. "The guys in here pin their ears back when we have good challenges like this."
Last week's 17-6 loss at Cleveland left a bitter, stale taste in the Bengals' mouths. They weren't happy with the way they played, particularly on offense, where they amassed just 203 yards in the air. Receiver A.J. Green caught seven passes, but seven more balls either went over his head, hit the ground at his feet, or zoomed into vacant spots several yards away from him as he and quarterback Andy Dalton got crossed up on different routes and coverages.
Confused, uncertain and mixed up, it was that very style of play that made the loss look even worse and had fans second-guessing the offense's game plan. Calls for Dalton's ouster have sounded all week, and pressure has been added upon Green's shoulders for better play the rest of the season. The run game has taken some heat, too, as many are curious as to why, after struggling in the air, the Bengals moved away from their ground attack last week.
To some inside Paul Brown Stadium's home locker room, and to many more outside it, last Sunday's game should have resulted in a win. Those who believed that found dealing with the after-effects of the loss even more frustrating. Some players think that's why it's so easy for them to welcome the challenge that is the Patriots. There is a renewed purpose and a heightened focus that might not have been there had they breezed through the Browns as had been largely expected.
"We want to go out there and prove to everybody, every day, every time we step on the field, that we're a force to be reckoned with," receiver Marvin Jones said. "In order to do that, we have to play like it. With [last] Sunday, that's not the team that we are. That's not the team I know we are. It's up to us, it's up to everybody in all phases to go out and take the steps to proving that we are not like that and that we can be elite."
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis has detected a positive spirit within his team all week.
"The team is fine," he said. "It's well-positioned, it's well-grounded. It's got some strong foundation points. We know how to go about it. We got our feelings hurt last Sunday when we didn't win. So we had to go back to work and raise the level.
"And they've done that."
We'll see just how much they have in less than 48 hours.

Anyway, she is all the way conservative in her political views. I consider myself conservative as well so I know her comment way just way off the wall and cruel! It completely offended me and im pretty sure its not hormones. I have been thinking about maybe reporting it to her higher ups, but she will retaliate if she finds out I told on her.
So, her favorite topic is the election, which I usually ignore. However she piped up in her nails on chalkboard voice that she "would rather see 10 more 9-11s happen than see Obama elected president for another term".
OH. MY. GOD. What kind of person would say that?! What could cause that much hate for someone she doesn't even know?! Does she realize all that was lost on 9-11? I am absolutely appalled, and again have conservative views, so I just feel this is WAY out of line especially in the work place.
What would you all do in this situation? I feel so angry in the pit of my stomach over her comment. She is such a monster!!

Hi , I'm very new to the world of wordpress but have managed to get my blog up and running, hosting sorted et al and then I stumbled on these great looking facebook plugins to link your photos and posts to your blog.
I have downloaded installed and activated fotobook and the next step on the installation instructions is to click "options" to set it up with my facebook account (this options button also seems to be required for most of my other plugins) I have searched far and wide for this button and cant find it! the only clickable links are edit activate or deactive. I've googled this problem to death and hope that someone on here can show me what a silly mistake I've been making.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the TablePress button to show back up in my admin menu. It used to. I'm not sure when it disappeared but I did recently install the "user role editor" plugin. I've disabled and re-enabled every combination of it and yours that I can think of to no avail.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

"To be excellent, consistent and customer focused in everything we do!"
It's time. Time to throw away stale holiday cookies, left over champagne bottles and get ready for the New Year. Whether your resolution is to get fit, eat better, travel more or simply to make 2014 a great year, New Years is all about being positive and setting goals. This year we at The Meat House wanted to set a few resolutions of our own, including resolving to help you Meat Your Goals.
While we can't help with everything on your list, we can assist by providing healthy fresh food. Everyday throughout the month of January we'll post recipes on Facebook using lean meats to help you with a healthy diet. When in our stores,* keep an eye out for these case tags, which will highlight that days lean meat protein.
From steak to fish, eating healthy doesn't have to be plain or boring. In fact, we've put together recipes to please even the pickiest palates. From a lean version of stuffing topped chicken, to flavorful shrimp skewers, we've got 31 unique recipes for you to try. All of the recipe cards that we post on Facebook can also be downloaded and printed directly from our website here.
To kick off our 31 Days of Lean Meats resolution, we wanted to highlight one of our favorite proteins – beef. Known for its rich flavor and high protein, beef can be a part of a healthy, well rounded diet. Packed with tons of flavor, our Balsamic Flank Steak is the perfect way to start eating healthier in 2014.
Balsamic Flank Steak
For some extra veggies, top the steak on a bed of arugula. The vinaigrette is all you need for dressing and will help you to meet your daily vegetable goals. Remember, eating healthy doesn't need to be complicated. We've selected recipes that are both approachable and delicious. If you're short on time, try one of our naturally lean items like cilantro lime turkey tips or meat and veggie kabobs. We look forward to what 2014 brings and meating our goals together.
*At participating locations only

My special vacation meal is beefsteak as a result of it is such an excellent cut of beef. I like that it marinades well and cooks quickly on the grill. I typically double the quantity of marinade and throw an additional piece of flank steak during a fridge safe bag with marinade.
Looking forward to your new store in Chadds Ford.
Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it's really informative.
