very happy with this purchase, prc200 chronograph. in my opinion it has a very classy look for the price. The watch face size is just right for my taste, a decent size but not too big as i myself am not the biggest. i was a bit worried about how blue the face would be having only seen it online which can be deceiving sometimes, but i neednt of worried as the blue is quite dark and subtle in my opinion. The watch also has a good weight to it which also gives it the feel of quality.

Houllier eyes Lizarazu raid
By Philip Seery
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 33-year-old defender, who recently had a scuffle with team-mate Niko Kovac, is out of contract in Bavaria at the end of the season and has yet to sign on the dotted line prompting speculation about his future.
Reds manager Gerard Houllier knows all about the attributes of the speedy left-sided schemer, who Liverpool tried to sign after Euro 96 when Roy Evans was at the helm.
World Cup and European Championship winner Lizarazu admitted he was unaware of the interest from Liverpool.
"I do not know about any interest from Liverpool. My contract at Bayern runs out at the end of the season, and the priority is to see if they want to talk about another one," said the French star.
A lack of width in the Merseysider's team has become a concern for Houllier and he may see Lizarazu as a short-term solution with an out-and-out winger in the Damien Duff mould the primary target.
Houllier has also been linked with a move for another left-sided player in the form of Mikael Silvestre.
The Manchester United defender, 25, is also out of contract in the summer after shunning all advances from the Old Trafford hierarchy to broker a new deal.
Liverpool tried to sign the player three years ago when he was at Internazionale but Silvestre opted for The Red Devils as he was promised a spot at centre half by Sir Alex Ferguson.
However, in his spell at Old Trafford he has primarily been used as a left back.

Welcome back to Spring Notes.
I hope you've enjoyed the previous notes, i.e., (1) and (2) —
brief weekly posts for meditation and contemplation.
Now through March 16th … 5 notes to prepare for a new season.
Spring Notes (3)
The Dalai Lama once said: I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe. Undoubtedly, this is one of the wisest thoughts I've encountered in my lifetime. After all, who are we to judge anything, let alone the universe? Just imagine how peaceful your day might be without the need to second guess what is happening in the world or why. The drama of life is often based on judgement. And while some judgement is needed to navigate life, perhaps, it is excessive. Perhaps it leads to needless worry. To senseless conflict. To useless complications. It's spring … toss things around … see if this idea can be useful to you. Get creative with your thinking. Better yet, drop back from the endless back and forth our minds seem to crave, realizing that "thought" alone will never be enough. It will always be limited and biased and, possibly, problematic. Let your spiritual instincts take you beyond habitual patterns to experience greater peace. Joy. Contentment. Since we can never truly understand another person's "reality," maybe we can find common ground by letting go of outdated and unnecessary opinions. Our imaginings, primarily. Can't hurt to try …

Lowbar, I saw your previous posts. I think Helmand in Baltimore is one of the best restaurants anywhere. And I agree with you about Asia Nora. When we ate there a few yrs ago everything from the appetizers to the dessert had ginger in it. Sickening!
I would really appreciate it if you could post your favorites- especially any near the West End where we'll be staying but we're willing to travel for good food.
Also, are there any excellent and aesthetically pleasing Asian restaurants like NYC's Shun Lee Palace? My husband and I don't mind hole in the walls but on this trip I'm traveling with a picky teen. Thank you!

An Organized Pantry By Monica Resinger http://homemakersjournal.com One night I was making burritos for dinner. I went to grab refried beans out of the pantry and couldn't find any. Later, while cleaning out the pantry, I found some. If the pantry had been organized to begin with, I would have been able to find the refried beans and save my husband a trip to the neighborhood store, saved money as refried beans at the neighborhood store are not cheap and lots of frustration. Another problem with a cluttered, unorganized pantry is waste. I found spilled flour, noodles, Jello and cornmeal packages. So, in an effort to improve myself and knowing what I had done in the past wasn't working, I put some thought into how I could create a better system. Here's what I came up with: Assign a Home for Each Item Assign a home to each different type of item. For example, have one shelf for cereals, another for canned foods, another for spices and another for prepared boxed meals such as macaroni and cheese. If you have to, you can split up a shelf for two different foods. Be sure to keep multiples of foods together so you can see at a glance how much of something you have. Get Rid of Dead Space Make sure your shelves don't have too much 'dead space'. Dead space is unused space which is usually found above what you are storing. For example, when I was putting my canned food away on the canned food shelf, I noticed I couldn't stack two regular sized (about 15 oz.) cans one on top of another, but there was a lot of empty space above the cans (dead space). So I adjusted the shelf up a couple of inches so now I have room to stack two regular size cans and there is less dead space. This made a tremendous difference--I could now get all canned foods onto this shelf rather than have them scattered throughout the pantry. Creative Containers Find canisters or other holders for noodles, flour, sugar, rice, popcorn or other food that comes in plastic or paper bags. I used to store the opened bag of rice (or other plastic or paper bagged food) right in the opened bag (closed with a twist-tie) which always lead to spills. Now I use canisters, empty coffee cans, glass jars, and other containers to hold these items for no mess. If you use pretty glass jars (which you can find at thrift stores), you can store noodles, rice, split peas or other attractive food in them and display on your counter to save pantry space. Finally, put taller items in the back. This makes finding things easier. The effort you put into organizing your pantry can be very rewarding. It will save you time, frustration and money. It is so nice to be able to open the door and see everything organized (or just being able to see everything without a can falling on your head or toes).

U.S. Carriers | Decommissioned | Links | Info | History
The Jason Dunham (DDG 109) is the U.S. Navy's 59th Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer and is named after Cpl. Jason L. Dunham, the first Marine awarded the Medal of Honor for Operation Iraqi Freedom. On April 14, 2004, Dunham's squad was conducting a reconnaissance mission in Karabilah, Iraq, when his battalion commander's convoy was ambushed. When Dunham's squad approached to provide fire support, an Iraqi insurgent leapt out of a vehicle and attacked Dunham. As Dunham wrestled the insurgent to the ground, he noticed that the enemy fighter had a grenade in his hand and immediately alerted his fellow Marines. When the enemy dropped the live grenade, Dunham took off his Kevlar helmet, covered the grenade, and threw himself on top to smother the blast. In an ultimate selfless act of courage, in which he was mortally wounded, he saved the lives of two fellow Marines.

GeigerCruizer™ Demo System images to 300 meters
Autonomous driving at highway speeds requires object recognition at distances to a few hundred meters. The only LiDAR to date that has shown the capability of doing this, while meeting class 1 eye-safety requirements, is based on Geiger-mode sensing technology. This video was taken with a GeigerCruizer™ demonstration system that is imaging to distances as far away as 300 meters. One can clearly see targets with reflectance as low as 10% and cars driving at 60 mph. Moreover, the video provides resolution of people in motion as well as objects as small as door handles and side view mirrors.
We showed this video at SPIE Photonics West last week and it was received with overwhelming enthusiasm. We will be producing more that display the unique capabilities of Geiger-mode LiDAR.

Beauty surgical procedures is without doubt one of the two branches of surgery, in addition to cosmetic surgery, and the two are inseparable and have the exact same rules and also have precisely the same aims Utah Plastic Surgeon. Created to reshape the kinds of your body that character has designed imperfect or that lifetime has altered, beauty operation is often a health-related self-control in its individual proper. The procedures employed in plastic surgery adhere to the identical procedures as all other surgical procedures; they demand precisely the same precautions and also the identical care, and perhaps more so specified its voluntary instead of compulsory nature, to make certain no error is permitted.
Except if there's a professional medical dangers that may be demanded for critical perform necessary being a end result of necessitated a significant clinical problem which often can justify using significant possibility, surgical procedure ought to be minimized. We should also steer clear of the use of cosmetic treatment options, know-how or products that usually are not sufficiently examined.
The connection of beauty operation with psychology is frequent a person as well as motivations for surgical procedures ought to constantly be taken into account when thinking about beauty surgical procedures. The actual results of cosmetic surgery procedure can either turn out great or disastrous if it failed thoroughly analyze the motivations and expectations in the individual. Beauty surgical procedure can assist from the building up of the person's self-confidence greatly but patients need to not assume that it solves all of the life's difficulties, even though usually it provides a dramatically greater daily life
So the standard of key cosmetic surgeon, outside the house of his technological competence, is to hear his affected person, to take adequate the perfect time to sufficiently analyze the patient's motivations, his/ her anticipations, and provide solid details to the success that can be realistically realized and also the effects in the intervention as, with regard to any overall look side effects these as scars. The cosmetic surgeon should present good beauty medical procedures assistance previous to any procedure and must know how to refuse or postpone a treatment every time a he is introduced with adverse results of any possible technique.
Deciding on a surgeon
Just the specialist qualification in Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic issued with the regarded institutions of Physicians offers the ensure of the fantastic education and learning. These qualification is normally issued at the end of many many years of unique scientific studies at college and sufficient instruction in cosmetic surgical procedure in medical center, following a doctorate in drugs.
In certain countries, in line with data of insurance policies firms thousands of physicians are practicing beauty surgical treatment, while just a few hundred are totally competent to undertake the treatments. So it is important that you carefully verify the qualifications along with the knowledge of any surgeon that you will be wanting to settle on for your personal beauty technique. You should find right cosmetic operation guidance before starting any method.
You may verify the skills of a surgeon by making contact with the appropriate institutions and corporations from the country in which you reside to research a surgeons history further more. You could also make contact with the any national association of surgical procedure. Stay clear of whatsoever expenses attractively manufactured commercials to draw in clients to facilities or clinics that are operated by doctors without recognised working experience or skills.

Princess Cruise Bonus Books?
On our last couple of cruises on Royal Caribbean we were given Bonus or Discount books (in the cabin when we boarded) that gave percentage on in ship stores, spa and buy-one-get-one-free drinks, etc. Does anyone know if Princess has something similar? We're sailing on the Sapphire Princess next year. Thanks.
Re: Princess Cruise Bonus Books?
I've read posts from others who have gotten Princess coupon booklets, usually given out as promos from some travel agents.
Re: Princess Cruise Bonus Books?
Nancy, when are you sailing. I'm on Sapphire Princess for the Nov. 5, 2005 sailing.
Re: Princess Cruise Bonus Books?
Princess will have their specials advertised in your daily paper the Princess Patter.
Re: Princess Cruise Bonus Books?
The booklets are given out with certain promotions through travel agents upon booking. You usually have to ask for them though. You still may be able to get one if you call your Travel Agent and ask (beg). They also give them out to past Princess cruisers. Hope this helps!
Re: Princess Cruise Bonus Books?
We'll give the TA a try.
Dalwhitt, we're going on Oct. 22, 2005.
We were just comparing with Royal Caribbean, where we have received coupon booklets in the cabin upon boarding. There is always a couple of those BOGO free for a drink or two. And we have mostly sailed on Princess, but have never seen a similar booklet, nor has our TA ever offered one.
Thanks, everyone.

Liver function tests are blood tests used to help diagnose and monitor liver disease or damage. The tests measure the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in your blood.
Some of these tests measure how well the liver is performing its normal functions of producing protein and clearing bilirubin, a blood waste product. Other liver function tests measure enzymes that liver cells release in response to damage or disease.
Abnormal liver function test results don't always indicate liver disease. Your doctor will explain your results and what they mean.

Year 2014 was a good year in real estate with 92,867 residential sales through the TorontoMLS system, including 4,446 in December. The calendar year 2014 sales result represented a 6.7 per cent increase over the 2013 sales figure of 87,049 and was just short of the record set in 2007. The average selling price continued to grow on a year-over-year basis in calendar year 2014, with an 8.4 per cent increase over calendar year 2013 to $566,726.
Here are some interesting facts about the GTA real estate market in 2014 that caught my attention, I thought you might be too.
1. January was the only month in 2014 when number of sales are lower than the numbers recorded in the same period in 2013. 4103 transactions were recorded in January 2014.
Like previous years, April to July and October are the busiest months in the real estate market.
2. In 2014, the average sales price in October was the highest at $588,018. In 2013, the highest average sale price was recorded in May with October the second highest.
3. According to the Toronto Real Estate Board Market Watch Report Issue December 2014, there were 21 detached homes were sold for under $100,000, 243 under $200,000 and 1711 under $300,000 in 2014. So where are these homes?
I could only find 13 "detached homes" in the "Greater Toronto Area" which were sold under $100,000 in 2014. Most homes are 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalows found in the municipality of Clarington, in the community of Newcastle or Bowmanville. Some of these are vacation cabins and were sold without land. There was a century-old 2 bedroom home in Brock which was a bank sale.
I performed a search on the MLS for detached home sold for $100,000 to $200,000 in the "GTA" and got more than 200 results, most of these homes are 2 to 3 bedroom, 1 to 2 bath bungalow over 50 years of age (with the majority looking like century-home). You are most likely to find these homes in Brock, Clarington, Georgina and Oshawa. I found 3 homes with good size lots, ready for a complete tear down in Ajax sold for just under $200,000 and those 3 were the closest we can get to Toronto.
Your choices won't improve a lot with a budget of mid $200,000 but with close to $300,000 you can have a choice of complete renovated, move-in condition older (40 years or more) bungalow or smaller 2-storey in Ajax, Brampton, Uxbridge, Whitby, with a few homes in the corners of City of Toronto. Let's look into this in a later post. Stay tuned!
4. Using the MLS Home Price Index, the area (in city of Toronto) or municipality (outside the city of Toronto) which recorded the highest year over year increase was Toronto W09 area, which record a 13.24% increase followed by the municipality of Whitchurch-Stouffville, 13.04% increase. Toronto W09 district is the general area of north of Eglinton, South of Hwy 401 between Royal York and Martin Grove. Whitchurch-Stouffville in York Region is the municipality east of Hwy 404, north of 19th Avenue, south of Davis Drive and west of York-Durham Line.
5. Using the MLS Home Price Index, Townhouse in Toronto W05 recorded a decline of 8.78% in benchmark prices in 2014. The MLS W05 district is the general area between Dufferin and Weston, North of 401 and South of Steeles, with Jane and Finch being the center of the district.
What do you think would happen in the real estate market in 2015? With strong reported sales in January 2015 of 4355 MLS transactions recorded in the GTA, a 6.1 per cent increase over January 2014, and the low mortgage rate and the tumbling Canadian dollar, 2015 is definitely going to be a breakthrough year in the Toronto residential real estate market.

High School Preparation and Admission
A challenging college preparatory curriculum is your foundation for success in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies. Specifically, you must present a minimum of 18 units. The breakdown of preferred courses depends on the individual program.
Four units of English is a standard requirement. The university requires three units of math (including algebra II and geometry), but CAUS strongly recommends an additional unit of higher math. For building construction students, four units of math are required. Two units of social sciences (including history) are required, and additional units are preferred for students majoring in public and urban affairs. Two units of lab science (chosen from biology, chemistry, or physics) are sufficient for most majors, but additional natural science courses, particularly in biology, are recommended for landscape architecture. The completion of two or three units in a foreign or classical language is recommended.
Freshman applicants enrolled in a rigorous high school academic curriculum with a solid average of A's and B's and a combined SAT (critical reading and math) score of 1200 or better or an ACT score of 26 or higher will be given preference in the admissions review process.
Undergraduate Admissions offers a helpful checklist to make sure you have everything you need to apply.
Architecture, interior design, industrial design, and landscape architecture (known as School of Architecture + Design majors) are restricted majors, and enrollment is limited due to space constraints in the design labs.
If you want to know more about the student experience, you may want to actually speak to another student. Our CAUS Ambassadors are students from majors from across the college, and they would be happy to answer your questions and tell you about their experiences.

I need help writing an essay on this quote from John Keats's "Ode to a Grecian Urn":
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever"
The instructions are to give a vivid description of a place or a thing which has given you immense joy.
- print Print
- list Cite
In composing an essay on the above topic, the writer would do well to write a narrative or a descriptive essay. If, for instance, the "thing of beauty" that constantly brings joy is a place, then a narrative essay is in order. But, if the "thing of beauty" is an object, a descriptive essay is more in order. So, the writer must first select what it is that she wants to write about.
In brainstorming ideas, consider places that you have visited repeatedly which bring you contentment and joy every time; for instance, a beautiful park (National Park, formal gardens, etc) or the seaside. Then, consider some object whose beauty gives you pleasure whenever you examine it; for example, an heirloom ring whose gem is not only beautiful, but it conjures memories of loved ones who have worn it. Or, perhaps, some objet d'art such as the urn that Keats examines can be described, such as a Fabrege egg, a painting by a famous artist, etc.
Once you have decided upon the object that is beautiful, you will want to explain how it is beautiful and in what way it brings you joy. The essay will take shape, as all essays do, with an introduction that has a "Motivator," and a thesis statement; the body of the essay will examine three different aspects of the beauty of the thing; and the conclusion will have a restatement of the thesis with a "clincher," a remark that carries the reader beyond your essay to contemplate how important things of beauty are, perhaps.
If you choose to write about a place, you may wish to use the narrative essay format, which like a story has a beginning, middle, and end. Your "motivator" in the introduction can be a reflection or a question. For example,
How many of us have regarded a photograph from a vacation and been transported emotionally to the scene depicted there and felt a sense of serenity or happiness?
Then, you describe the place and give three reasons why it is a "joy forever" to you in the thesis. For instance,
One such place that always conjures great memories for me is Lake Geneva where on one particular day, the weather and surroundings perfectly matched my inner mood, bringing me great joy. I enjoy returning to this place because it restores this inner mood of contentment, the area is beautiful and delights my senses, and it seems to stop time for me, placing me in a euphoric state. [thesis]
The body of the paragraph, then, will explain the why and how of the thesis statement. Be sure to restate this thesis at the end and write a "clincher." For example, you can end with an affirmation of Keats's quotation: Truly, "a thing of beauty" can bring joy to people throughout their lives.

It's a common scenario here at the bakery… Whether it's paying for a cup of Joe or putting down a deposit on one of our amazing cakes, when we hand over the tablet and ask for a signature, we usually hear "Wow, that's neat."
You know, it is neat — but more importantly, it's good for our business. At Dream Day Cakes®, we use the Square card reader to accept credit card payments quickly and efficiently. Before we get into why we like Square for credit card processing, let's talk about how credit card processing works.
Let's call this summary the Cliff's Notes version of credit card processing. =)
In a nutshell, businesses (like Dream Day Cakes®) pay credit card processing companies a percentage of every credit card sale. These fees include a flat percentage (generally 1.2 to 3.75%), a "per transaction" fee (anywhere from 0 – 25 cents), "gateway" fees, equipment fees, and more.
Getting confused yet?
It get's even worse. At the end of the month, most of these credit card processors add surcharges and other fees. "The card that Joe used was a rewards card, so we're going to charge an extra 1.2 percent." "That card was a business card, it needs to be charged at another 1.3 percent." So on, and so on, and so on.
Square is completely different.
The first reason we love Square? Honest pricing. Fred's been working with credit card companies for over 20 years— Square is the first company that's ever provided him honest pricing that has no hidden fees. With Square, you pay 2.75% for every swiped card. American Express? 2.75%. Discover? 2.75% Rewards Cards? 2.75%. There are no hidden fees, no gateway fees, no crazy fees whatsoever.
Even though we get a much better "rate" with other processors, at the end of the month, all of the additional fees add up to much higher than Square's simple and honest 2.75% price model. No monthly fees. No minimums. Honest pricing = happy bakers.
Square pays us the next day. Automatically.
At our bakery, we love baking. We love creating amazing cakes, we love the smell of bread baking in the oven, the look of pastries covering the countertops. Know what we don't love? We don't love accounting. Knowing that we can reliably count on payments to be in our bank account the very next day makes our business run more efficiently.
Happy bakers = better cakes.
Honest pricing and next day payouts are just the tip of the iceberg. When we're exhibiting at an expo, on a delivery, or at a show, Square allows us to accept payments directly from our phone (or tablet). We plug in the free card reader, swipe the card, and confirm the order. Simple, fast, and easy.
It get's even better. We also can accept e-payments directly to our account using the Square card case. Customers coming to the bakery can pay us directly with their phone. No wallet? No problem. You can still get a cupcake and an espresso. =) =)
We think you will love Square, too.
We've recommended Square to anyone wanting to accept credit card payments. Of course, with creative cakes comes creative clients. Some of the applications we think work fantastic for Square:
- Weddings
Don't have cash for that bride's dance? No problem. She can take your credit card payment right at the reception.
- Charity Events
We get asked to work with a lot of charities. We think that using a Square reader can quickly and easily bring money to the organization.
- Photographers
- Expos
- Farmer's Markets
As we start promoting more businesses that we truly love, we wanted to start with Square. For more information on how you can process credit cards with their free card reader, please visit https://squareup.com.

The other big change in the room is that I got a new bed frame with a proper headboard, also from West Elm. I've mentioned wanting to live in a West Elm catalog more than a few times. It's becoming less of a joke and more of my reality lately. Not a bad thing. Not one bit.
ANYWAY! Onto the pictures.
I ended up getting the Mid-Century Bed in Acorn. I'd been searching high and low for a reasonably priced wood bed with a headboard and this had been my favorite find. When West Elm had a site wide sale going about 3.5 weeks ago, I pounced on it. It was just delivered and set-up yesterday.
It's a really lovely color and I love the clean simple lines, especially against all the organic painterly print going on in the curtains. It just happens to blend nicely with the color of my wood Anthropologie lamps too, as I was hoping it would.
The chair got recovered awhile back too, but what can I say? I'm a lazy blogger. The owl is actually a speaker that travels around the house with me from time to time to boost my phone's sound. The deer is a paper mache project I did ages ago. The books (TJ Maxx) and plant (Ikea) are both fake. The mirror is from Ikea. The teal finial is from Target. The Clibbon cat is Matt's from I-don't-know-where.
This guy kind of disappears in the pulled back shots, so I thought it deserved a bit of spotlighted attention. My mom bought that for me while I was still in high school, and it's survived my many moves since then.
Just for kicks, lets do a quick look at how this room has evolved since August 2012...
|Phase 2
|Phase 3: Now!
Yeah, I'm definitely a trial and error kind of decorator. But the room is finally coming along! Still on my to-do list for this room:
- Sand and stain the dresser (it's very stained up and needs some love)
- Possibly update the hardware on the dresser
- Paint or find art for over the dresser (it's literally just a blank canvas right now)
- More pillows on the bed
- Chunky navy blue throw on the chair to add some texture

Artist Alexa Meade turns people and objects into paintings. Soon after graduating from Vassar College, NY, Meade began experimenting with painting on non-traditional objects despite never having enrolled in an advanced painting class. With broad brushstroke, she applies paint on her models' faces and bodies and fabricates additional shadows on cheekbones and above eyebrows. Then, she photographs them. The three-dimensional tableau appears as an oil painting in the photograph and most are convinced of its effect although it is a live installation.

I enjoy cooking, but the task of figuring out what to eat is sometimes a frustrating one. I can ask Ted and Maya what we should have for dinner, but then there's the risk that they'll pick something that I don't want. Then I feel guilty for not making what they suggested. But yesterday, when I presented Ted with the question, what should we have for dinner, he said, "Not chicken. How about skirt steak fajitas?" Oh, um. YUM. I love fajitas, esp. steak fajitas, as any of my friends who have been to Chevy's with me will tell you. Mmm. Tex Mex. Usually, when I make fajitas, I use a packet of fajita seasoning, which I find to be quite salty and oh-so-blah. So this time, I decided to look around for an actual recipe. Happily, I found one on FoodNetwork.com, by Tyler Florence, with a 5-star rating and a ton of glowing reviews. Know what? It was très yummy. Really, really good. And pretty darned easy, too. The keys are in making the marinade early, and letting the meat sit in it for several hours, which helps make a fairly tough cut of meat quite tender. Next trick, don't overcook it. Lastly, cut against the grain, which helps make the meat even more tender. This recipe was declared 'a keeper', and I'll be happy to make it from time to time. Next time, perhaps I should make margaritas to go with, n'est-ce pas?
Confession: I didn't make my own guacamole. I bought some wholly guacamole (my favorite store bought), and skipped the salsa altogether. Did you know that most store-bought salsa has more salt in it than the chips you eat it on? Yeah. And tomatoes aren't really in season yet. I could have made fresh salsa, but I didn't. Anyway, I like my fajitas fairly pure…steak, warm tortilla, guacamole, red pepper, and onion. That's it. YUM. All that was missing was that sweet corn cake they serve it with at Chevy's. And perhaps El Machino.
Skirt Steak Fajitas
Marinade (Mojo):
- 1 orange, juiced
- 2 limes, juiced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 3 chipolte chiles, in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
Und Dann – anyone else love that about Run Lola Run, the 'und dann' bits? Excellent.
- 2 1/4 pounds skirt or flank steak, trimmed of fat cut into thirds or 8-inch pieces
- Salt and pepper
- 2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- Lime juice, olive oil, optional
- 12 flour tortillas, warm
- Guacamole, recipe follows
- Good quality store bought salsa
In a small 2 cup measuring cup, or something similar size and shape, combine all the marinade ingredients. Using an immersion blender, puree the marinade until smooth. Transfer to a re-sealable plastic bag and add the steak, seal and shake to coat. Refrigerate the beef for 2 to 4 hours to tenderize and flavor the beef.
Preheat a ridged grill pan on high heat.
Drain the marinade from the beef. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan. Season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill the steak over medium-high heat and cook for 4 minutes on each side and then transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Depending on the size of your grill pan you may need to cook in batches.
Once the beef is off the grill pan and resting, add the bell peppers and onions tossed with lime juice and olive oil, if using. Grill the mixture for 7 to 8 minutes until the vegetables are just barely limp.
While the peppers and onions are cooking, heat up the tortillas. Turn any free burners on a medium low flame. Place a tortilla on each flame and let it char about 30 seconds to 1 minute, flip the tortilla and repeat on the second side. Once heated and charred remove the tortilla to a clean tea towel and wrap to keep warm. Repeat until you have warmed all of your tortillas.
You can also heat your tortillas in a microwave, lightly dampen a tea towel with some water, wrap the tortillas in the damp towel and heat in the microwave for about 1 minute. Check to see if they are warm, if not repeat the heating at 1 minute intervals until they are warm and pliable.
Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a diagonal.
To serve:
Spread some guacamole on a tortilla, top with a few slices of steak, peppers and onions, and salsa. Roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.
May also be served with sour cream and shredded cheese.
5 ripe Hass avocados
3 to 4 limes, juiced
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 serrano chile, chopped
1 big handful fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Drizzle olive oil
Halve and pit the avocados. With a tablespoon, scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving them still a bit chunky. Add all of the rest of the ingredients, and fold everything together.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole so it doesn't brown and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Where Will they Land?
The South Carolina College of Pharmacy (SCCP) continues to blister the national average in residency match success.
On Match Day 2015 (March 20), 43 of the 56 SCCP students who applied were placed in programs repreresenting 16 states, landing in some highly prestigious residency programs. The SCCP has matched close to 80 percent of its students seeking residencies for five straight years, compared to a national average around 55-60 percent.
The total residents represented around 23 percent of the student body and included multiple students at two programs, 14 students among all eight in-state programs, three students in community residency programs, and one student in a coveted veterinary pharmacy program (only one of its kind).
For those on social media, the College used #SCCPMatch2015 to track/post match results live on Twitter.
The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) runs a matching program in which an algorithm matches interested residencies with student-preferred placements. In 2015, 5,373 applicants enrolled in the post-graduate year one (PGY1) match program and 4,358 applicants entered the match (with approximately 3,000 positions available for PGY1).
For the last five years, the number of applicants has risen in increments of 500 while available placements have risen in increments of around 200.
"In the dynamic pharmacy job market and expanding service roles for pharmacists, I feel residency training will continue to move towards a standard as the next step in the pharmacy education and training process." said Brandon Bookstaver, vice chair of clinical pharmacy and outcomes sciences at the SCCP.
Many employers in health-system pharmacy strongly prefer residency experience and increasingly community pharmacists – the pharmacist at the corner store – expect it as well. PGY1 programs offer general post-graduate training and some residents go on to a post-graduate year two (PGY2) or fellowship program that is typically more specialized.
At least 27 SCCP alumni followed up their PGY1 residency by successfully matching for a PGY2 this year.
The College's success in placing residents reflects an emphasis on preparation.
"That our students do so well is certainly a reflection of their outstanding ability and a testament to our faculty mentors and preceptors," Bookstaver said. Bookstaver and SCCP assistant professor Celeste Rudisill-Caulder, along with two others, published Roadmap to Postgraduate Training in Pharmacy in 2013. "Our pre-residency track has created a roadmap for success in achieving a successful match."

Missions' Bonine baffles Hooks in Game 2 win
Updated 11:30 pm, Thursday, September 5, 2013
CORPUS CHRISTI — Eddie Bonine used to throw a hard knuckleball that would dart and dive but rarely went where it was supposed to go.
But now the pitch flutters at a slower speed. And baffles hitters big and small.
Thursday night, the 32-year-old veteran's knuckler was at its baffling best. The end result was a critical win for the Missions.
Bonine allowed just five hits over seven shutout innings, the much-maligned defense came through with several big plays, and the Missions beat Corpus Christi 2-0 at Whataburger Field to even their Texas League South Division Championship series at 1-1.
Game 3 is 7:05 p.m. Friday at Wolff Stadium.
"That might be one of the best games I've ever been involved in," Missions manager Rich Dauer said. "The guys just went out and played."
Rico Noel had three hits and Yeison Asencio three hits, including two doubles and an RBI, but the story was Bonine's knuckler and the Missions' defense.

The 6-foot-5 Bonine, picked up by the parent San Diego Padres earlier this season after he was released by the Arizona Diamondbacks, used to throw a hard knuckler similar to that of Toronto's R.A. Dickey. But now it's more of a traditional knuckler, rarely reaching 80 mph.
Bonine credits pitching coach Jimmy Jones with helping him make adjustments following his last start.
"We just tried to simplify things, get my body in a position to be able to repeat my mechanics," said Bonine, who was 7-3 with a 4.74 ERA in 62 appearances with the Detroit Tigers from 2008-10. "But it's still a work in progress."
The Missions got all the runs they would need in the fourth on RBI doubles by Adam Buschini and Asencio.
The Missions pounded out 12 hits and left 10 on base, but Bonine along with relievers Tim Sexton and Jeremy McBryde were up to the task.
Bonine escaped jams in the sixth and seventh.
Buschini made a diving catch in left in the seventh that he turned into a double play, saving at least one run.
Second baseman Cory Spangenberg made several diving stops, including one in the seventh that kept the ball in the infield and prevented a run. And Noel in center threw a runner out at home in the seventh to blunt a rally and keep the Hooks off the scoreboard.

Business Review parent acquires Streetwise Media
American City Business Journals (ACBJ), the nation's largest print and online publisher of local business news, said Friday it has acquired Streetwise Media, a fast-growing digital media company catering to young business people in Boston and Washington, D.C.
Charlotte, N.C.-based ACBJ, parent company of The Business Review, is a unit of Advance Publications. ACBJ declined to disclose terms of the transaction.
