poured from a ~15oz can into a pint glass.
A: Thick beige head that falls slowly and clings to the glass. Nice black color, clear and dark brown along the edges.
S: Bread, very light roast, a little earthy.
T: Smooth malty start, a surprisingly strong bitter kick which lingers. Pretty simple.
M: Light, smooth, creamy carbonation.
O: Nice clean black lager. Easy drinking with a light roasted character and smooth mouth.

330 mL bottle from a six-pack picked up at the LCBO; bottled Oct. 29 2013. I've kinda-sorta wanted to try this one for a while, but not quite enough to pay $13.50 for a sixer. This particular pack was marked down a few bucks (getting a little close to expiry, maybe), and I figured now is as good a time as any to tick the stuff. Served well-chilled.
This one - aptly enough - pours an opaque black colour, topped with one finger of fizzy, frothy, light beige-coloured head. It fizzles away fairly quickly over the next minute or so, resulting in a wispy film on the surface, a narrow collar and an attractive doily pattern of lacing on the glass. The aroma is very subdued, to the point that this beer barely even smells like anything. There's a faint wisp of roasted malt and maybe a touch of coffee... come to think of it, this basically smells the same as their regular nitro stout.
Very plain, but highly drinkable and quite clean-tasting for a black lager. Roasted barley is really the only dominant flavour in play, with smaller hints of caramel and raisin. Some weak coffee vibes toward the finish, which is rather grainy and crisp like a lager should be. Not much of an aftertaste; a bit of light roast and metallicity. Light-bodied and fairly watery, with the fizzy, high carbonation levels that are typical of a macro lager. As boring as this is, it's very light and sessionable, and completely inoffensive as well.
Final Grade: 3.21, a C+. Guinness Black Lager is no schwarzbier - it's dull and forgettable compared to the German examples I've tried, although technically this is a 'Euro Dark Lager' so I suppose that comparison is of questionable fairness. That being said, there's nothing really wrong with this beer - I'd drink it again and maybe pay for a pint at the bar if I were in the mood, though I doubt I'd buy it in-store at its standard price point. A decent rendition of an inherently mediocre beer style.

Apple has sent out a note to developers telling them they can now peddle their iTunes App Store wares in an additional 33 countries, namely:
Algeria, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Azerbaijan, Bahamas , Bahrain, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, British Virgin Islands, Brunei , Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Dominica, Ghana, Grenada , Guyana , Iceland, Montserrat, Nigeria, Oman , St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia , St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Suriname, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago , Turks and Caicos, Uzbekistan, Yemen
I believe Apple previously announced the App Store in 90 countries, so this would make 123. It will be interesting to see what type of app availability (especially games, which still aren't available in some existing countries due to local ratings and content rules). It will also be interesting to see, in light of how much money Apple is making internationally, whether any of their competitors will start raising their own outside-the-US-of-A games.
GO UZBEKISTAN! We now have an alternative to installous!
Un grand bravo a Patrick qui a pris la peine de faire cette vide9o en frane7ais et en anglais (j'e9tais assez e9tonne9 d'ailleurs), meame en drheos de e7a c'est un avis plutf4t inte9ressant mais de toute fae7on quoi qu'on dise de l'iPad en bon ou en mauvais je vais l'acheter ! (j'suis pourtant pas fanboy d'Apple, e7a sera mon premier objet pomme9)
I'm glad that Apple's pushing their Stores to as many countries as possible.
For all people who live in a country with limited or no iTunes Store availability: You can always create a US/UK/etc account without any bank information and then get gift cards off eBay or a similar site.
iTunes apps in Nigeria? I'm going crazy right now. For years, I was waiting for this and of-course wondering why Apple has not look into this for a country of over 140 million people. It's very amazing! Well Big Apple, Thanks

I must say, as very much as I enjoyed rendaig what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a fantastic grasp around the topic matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you should think about this from a lot more than 1 angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so significantly. Its better if you think about what others may have to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Think about adjusting your own believed process and giving others who may read this the benefit of the doubt.

Cabo La Estancia Testimonials
We had a wonderful stay at La Estancia. The accommodations, staff and dining were first class. The check-in and check-out process was fast and easy. The entire resort was in the Christmas spirit and it made for a wonderful holiday.
Our thanks to Amy who helped with booking our reservation, Oscar who was always ready with a cab and a smile "welcome home" and everyone in between! We had a fantastic week.
The Kramer Family
Beth Kramer - Dec 2012
Cabo was incredible! We loved La Estancia and were blown away with Villa 1301! It was everything Giovanni said it would be! We will definitely be going back and would for sure stay at the Villa again. Thank you, Kim Johnson
Kim Johnson - Jul 2012
Everything about our trip to Cabo was great, especially our stay at Villa La Estancia. The grounds and rooms far exceeded our expectations and were spotless.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

We enjoyed our stay at Cabo La Estancia tremendously. The grounds were beautiful and our villa was impeccable. The entire staff was very friendly, helpful and a delight to be around. Thank you for providing us with a base for a wonderful vacation.
Guy Brown - Oct 2011

Thank you so much, We had one of the most amazing and relaxing vacations of our lives. Cannot wait to get back to La Eatancia, So So beautiful.
again thank you so much,
Wade Bills - Aug 2011
Cabo was great and we enjoyed staying at the La Estancia! The unit was spacious and well decorated. We loved the balcony and the view looking over the pool and beach! All was good. We ate at both restaurants there and they were very good. Also, really enjoyed eating at "the Office", Edith's and Pancho's. We rode ATVs in the desert which was so fun! Went deep sea fishing twice and the highlight of the boy's trip was their "catch" on our 2nd trip—a 13 ½ foot 650 lb. blue marlin! Unbelievable! Also our daughter pulled in an over 100lb. striped marlin—all so exciting! Loved the place and will plan to return soon—we'll want our same unit 3404! Please tell Giovanni that we really enjoyed our time there! Thanks!
Amy Wigger - Jul 2011
CABO was incredible! The rooms were much better than we expected and the photos you sent us were the real deal. I am always so skeptical of photos online as many times I have been disappointed when getting to a destination. The service was fantastic and our anniversary dinner was superb (and I've had alot to compare with:) We had a saxophonist who was unreal....really made the whole night that much more special. The food at the restaurant was delicious! Every meal! I couldn't eat enough of their chiliquilas...a personal favorite of mine! Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful experience. Thank you and Giovanni for being honest and upfront about everything you said. It is appreciated so very much.
I have been singing the praises of CaboLaEstancia and Giovanni to everyone that will hear me. I would love to do business with you all again.
Thanks again,
Francesca Thiem
Francesca Thiem - Jun 2011
Cabo was great again this year. We always enjoy going as a family. It is a great resort and we enjoy it very much. Thanks again for all of your help, Patrick
Patrick Clarke - Jun 2011
For your information, the trip was wonderful and I'm even looking into purchasing a condo.
Thanks for all of your help, your services were very professional.
Best Regards,
Donnie - May 2011
Our trip was perfect! Thanks. I am glad we went with the villa over 3 rooms- the kids want to move there for good;-)
Sonal - May 2011
Hi Kristina,
My girls and I had a wonderful time in Cabo. We enjoyed La Estancia very much. 1604 was a perfect set up for us. We loved the porch and amazing views! Thank you so much for helping us and we are hoping to get back soon!
Becky Drake
Becky Drake - May 2011
Very much enjoyed both the complex and the unit. Cabo felt safe and entertaining. I thought the service was top notch. Very relaxing for parents but fun for our 18 year old. I will certainly return.
Brent Blackey - Apr 2011
We had a wonderful time. The weather was fabulous, no humidity. The suite we had was super! It was even nicer and bigger then I expected. The pictures on the web site don't do it justice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
I also liked how convienent to everything it is ::town, Walmart for a few groceries, and great restaurants.
Thank you,
Judy Mallon
P.S. The only suggestion I would have would be to supply coffee filters. We bought coffee but didn't think of filters.
Judy Mallon - Apr 2011
Thank you so much for helping us with all of the plans for our trip, it was a huge success! The condo was incredible, the fishing trip fantastic and the transportation company followed through!
Kelly - Apr 2011
Everything was very nice. Nelson at the Front Desk was very helpful and the views & resort were amazing.
We had a great time and would definitely consider coming back. Thank you. - Marc Anderson
Marc Anderson - Mar 2011
Wonderful!!!! The villa was spectacular, weather and view gorgeous, loved the spa services and the staff was outstanding. We can't wait to come back :) Amy Doud
Amy Doud - Mar 2011
Hello Kristina, thanks for your note. We had a great time in Cabo. There is nothing that I can say that was missing with 1402. It was very quiet and relaxing. That is what we needed with the passing of Jean's mother. Our last night we ate at Edith's, it was one of the best meals we have ever had. The transportation was great and we did drive to Todos Santos and the Hotel California, the meal was great and we loved the shopping. Thanks again, Tom and Jean
Tom and Jean Hoon - Feb 2011
Everything at Villa La Estancia was wonderful and really, talking to everyone, I don't know that I can offer anything that we would have changed! We very much enjoyed ourselves and wish we could make it an annual trip! We hope and pray to be back sooner than later! Please keep me on your list!
Julie Andrews - Feb 2011
We enjoyed our vacation very much, the weather was a little off, but we really found it as good as previous. One day we may become owners as the grounds are great the service exceptional, the people are fantastic and seem to be the same as before which is nice to see.
The only thing i would like to see when i arrive would be dish towels and dish washer detergent.Which i would think should be available to keep the unit clean.
These are small issues and would not upset our family enough to go elsewhere.
Thanks for asking.
Ken Brown - Feb 2011
It was a very special holiday for our family. I have no suggestions as the condo was wonderful; the staff very friendly and helpful; the catered dinner in our condo was delicious and the chef and waitstaff delightful. We look forward to returning with the family next year! - Karen Wyll
Karen Wyll - Feb 2011
Hello Kristina, As a second time renter with you, I was pleased with the experience once again. And, I also was very pleased with Villa #2402. Thank you for your services and I look forward to renting with you again. Sincerely, Jeff Heide
Jeff Heide - Jan 2011
Had a great time, penthouse 2801 was superb and was lots of room for the private chef and server we had. Music system was awesome, we have no complaints, will look forward to booking with you guys again. thanks. Nick
Nicholas Marier - Jan 2011
My client Jeffrey King told me a day after he returned (I always contact the client on their return) that the trip to Cabo was fantastic. He says he loves that unit - everything was perfect - all four loved the spa treatments - they would like to return tomorrow. Thank you for asking.
Travel Agent - Jan 2011
We had a great time in Cabo, Kristina. The accommodations were excellent. I really appreciate the tip about the chance to get a 40 minute message on the beach for $20 -- I did that. The zip-line adventure was also excellent, although it took an hour and a half to get there. If there is one closer that would probably be better. Thanks for all your help.
Don Downing - Dec 2010
We had a terrific time at Villa Le Estancia again. The weather of course was beautiful and the resort is so well-maintained with excellent staff – a real pleasure. The Villa worked out very well – nicely furnished and maintained, and they even had extra pool toys, detergents etc. – things we would not have enjoyed buying but glad they were there.
The cleaning staff was very nice, and called us when we arrived to see when we wanted cleaning service – that was a very nice touch (unfortunately, we suggested Noon and they instead came at 10:30 [we have teenagers that like to sleep – oh well]).
We are thinking of returning again next year, but have not yet made decisions. We will definitely contact you if we do.
Adam E. Berman - Dec 2010
In todays world of telephone trees (push 1 for this and 2 for that) and less than well informed customer reps, you and your company were a refreshing change to the norm. I appreciate good service and you provided that and more. Kindly accept my grateful thanks for all your assistance in helping me plan my recent trip to Cabo and Villa La Estancia.
The Villa La Estancia was recommended by a friend who resides in Cabo and after I found your web site everything was easy from thereon. My calls and e-mails were handled promptly and accurately. The web site's links were excellent, especially for making reservations such as, airport shuttle transportation, dolphin experience reservations and so on. The on-site market was a real plus, making for easy stocking of basic provisions.
The facility's location was a real bonus also. Far enough removed from Cabo center for quiet enjoyment, it was but a short walk on the beach to Medano and the beach action. My teenagers enjoyed that convienence the most. Unless you want to visit locations along the corridor or further, you don't need a car. Taxis were available and prompt and the walk to Cabo center was not that difficult.
All in all, this family's summer trip exceeded all expectations and I really have you to thank.
David Kerr
David Kerr - Jul 2010
Hi Kristina, Cabo was awesome! Our trip could not have been better. We all loved La Estancia and would stay there again. Villa #1402 is great and had everything we needed. Thanks for all of your help.
Pam Kennedy - Jun 2010
Kristina, it was absolutely greeeeeeat. Everyone that went said they would absolutely go back and to the same place. Not one single person didn't tell me at least a dozen times how wonderful it was. You were flawless in your choice and help in everything! I can't personally thank you enough.
Terry Cunningham - Jun 2010
Thanks Kristina, We had a great trip and wonderful weather. The Villa was absolutely great! We could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for all of your help. We will certainly keep it in mind for another trip. Loved the secure feeling that we had a Estancia! Very nice!! The store and Deli were also another huge plus...Roddy
Roddy Thompson - Jun 2010
Hi Kristina, Just wanted to thank you and Giovanni for a great extended weekend. Our villa was lovely, and the property was beautiful. The people at La Estancia couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. We will definitely return. Our only regret was not staying longer, but 3 nights was all we had this time.
Jim Knoth - May 2010
Giovanni &Kristina,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in villa 3101 at Villa La Estancia. The entire operation runs very well. All of the staff is most courteous and responsive. We really liked our unit and will likely plan a return trip to the same unit. We're very pleased to have learned about Villa La Estancia and look forward to our next trip.
Kevin M. Flynn - Apr 2010
We had a fabulous vacation in Cabo and in our beautiful villa at La Estancia. It is such a beautiful well maintained property, can't say enough about how very well managed the property is. Everything was perfect from the moment we checked in - we were very impressed from the moment we entered the lobby and were greeted by Hector who so efficiently checked us in and took us to our villa. We found all of the staff to be so very friendly, courteous and helpful in any way. The grounds and gardens are immaculate and beautiful. Our villa was fabulous and the view was just so beautiful. We will highly recommend Villa La Estancia to anyone who is travelling to Cabo and we will be returning.
Edie & Kevin Sellick - Apr 2010
This is a belated note to let you know how extremely satisfied we were with our accomodations at Villa La Estancia. From the minute we walked into Unit 1402 we KNEW everything was going to be perfect. For that, we thank you very much. If there is a link that exists for customer comments, please send it to me. I will be more than happy to let the world know what a first-class place Villa La Estancia is - and how much we enjoyed our stay in unit 1402.
Art McDonald - Mar 2010
We had a great vacation and La Estancia was wonderful. We will definitely return. I have just filled out an online survey with very high marks. We will definitely recommend Estancia to others traveling to Cabo. Thank you. Jane McDonald
Jane McDonald - Mar 2010
Our trip to Cabo La Estancia was fabulous and loads of fun. The villa was beautiful and more than we could have imagined. We would love to go back but stay a little longer. Thank you for making our trip very special in so many ways. Everyone was so accomodating to our party. Jean Maddox
Jean Maddox - Feb 2010
We thought it was awesome, don't know if you could do anything to make it better. Our Villa was perfect for us, hopefully we can stay there again next time.
Kevin Gray - Dec 2009
La Estancia was great. My wife and I agreed that this was the nicest place we have stayed. We had such a good time. Thank you so much for the help. We are already thinking of a time to go back. We will stay with you again.
Craig Howard - Sep 2009
Hi Kristina, It was great…. We ate too much, drank too much, and got wayyyy too much sun. I'm still peeling like a snake! Everything was perfect, I have no suggestions for change. You guys were easy to deal with and we even ran into Giovanni down there who was a sweetheart. Thanks for everything! Laura
Laura - Sep 2009
We had a awesome time!! The villas were great and very accomodating to all of us! The location could not be better !! It was close for those who wanted to go into town and those that wanted to join later could do so with no problem. The staff? Well what can I say? They were the best we have seen in a long time! Whatever we needed it was there. The transportation was super, the pool, the food all amazing! This was our second time back and it just reminded us why we returned . We are already thinking obout next year. The villas are great for a family or multi families. We look forward to our next visit!! Hi to all from Indiana! The Shelmons
The Shelmons - Aug 2009
We had a wonderful time in Cabo and very much enjoyed our stay at Villas La Estancia. The property itself is so well-maintained and the staff throughout were friendly and helpful. Our villa, #1506, actually exceed our expectations which were fairly high given what we'd viewed on the website prior to arriving. We enjoyed having direct access to a beautiful beach with a great pool area only a few feet away. This is a great place for families, even those with little ones, who like vacations and accommodations that are adult and kid friendly, without skimping on a little luxury. The Trans Pacifico car service was also a great deal and took the stress out of getting to and from the airport. We'd definitely go back to Cabo and stay at La Estancia. My only suggestion is that the property should open the gym earlier in the morning or establish 24/7 key access. You guys were terrific. The entire reservation, arrival, and departure process was executed so well.
Jennifer - Aug 2009
Kristina, We had a great time! The weather was great and the place was perfect. It was a fun and relaxing few days. Thanks again for all your help! Susan and Pete Trelenberg
Susan and Pete Trelenberg - Jun 2009
We just returned from our trip to VLE and I wanted to write to you and tell you what a great time we had and how much we enjoyed our stay at VLE. Unit 1604 was perfect. Thank you for all of your help making the reservation and the information you shared with us about Cabo. We will contact you again when we decide to return to Cabo.
Scott Gaylord - Apr 2009
Kristina, Thank you for the note. EVERYTHING was great. Your company makes it very easy to take a great trip. I want to thank you for all your help. Please keep me in your system as I will be back as I have been before! Thanks Again

Well, our trip was awesome. The resort & villa unit was great! Really enjoyed it. The staff at Villa La Estencia was very accomodating as well. They couldn't have been any nicer, friendlier, or efficient. The resort was very clean and well maintained. No complaints. Thanks again. Marie Pardini
Marie Pardini - Feb 2009
My clients had a fabulous time at La Estancia in Cabo San Lucas. Thank you for everything you did to help make their trip wonderful. They were very impressed with the service and the cleanliness of the property. They have some great memories of their family being together.
Thank you again for all your assistance.

Giovanni – having been my first visit to Cabo, I was extremely impressed with Cabo La Estancia. The villa was immaculate, the view of the Sea of Cortez was breathtaking and the hospitality was superb. I would not hesitate to recommend La Estancia to anyone. The grounds were kept exceptionally well, the food was good and the spa treatment was well appreciated by my 95 year-old mother-in-law. She had the time of her life!!

We wish we were still in Cabo! Our family absolutely loved our condo at Villa La Estancia. We expected and wanted a 4-5 star type of property and we got it. The condo was a perfect size for a family of four..it was decorated with taste and class....our view was beautiful...loved having access to a swimming beach.. and the staff was nothing but helpful and friendly. We were also interested in staying at Palmilla and Ventanas but decided that with children Villa La Estancia would be a better fit. I would highly recommend your property to anyone going to Cabo and will pass the name along to our traveling network of friends. Thank you to Giovanni and Kristina for their help with booking activities as well as working with us to find that one unit that would be right for our wants and needs. We asked for a certain unit and view-saw the pictures on the internet..and that is what we got-that is how it should be when traveling. We will be back hopefully sooner than later. What a wonderful experience!

It was a great trip. The accommodations could not be out done. Your staff is also the best in helping with the reservation and all the information I required renting from a private ownership situation. You guys are the best. The resort was the best. Please keep me informed of any specials during the year. I look forward to going again soon.
Kevin Cimino - Jun 2008
We had a very nice time in Cabo. You were all very helpful from the booking of the room to reservations for restaurants. The La Estancia spoke highly of Giovanni. We had several other friends who did not book thru you and they did not get the rooms they were told they would get and some had to stay at different hotels. It was quite a fiasco for them. Us however we were in good hands. Thank you so much!
Kim Sprunk - Apr 2008

Mary Ruppe - Apr 2008
Hello Giovanni and Kristina, Everything was excellent, we loved the place and the staff was very helpful. I appreciate everything you did for us, we hope to come back soon. The place is beautiful and the way you guys set it up made it very memorable in all positive ways. thank you for everything. We should keep in touch for another trip in the future with a bigger group perhaps. Sincerely, Adolfo
Adolfo Torres - Mar 2008
Our trip to Cabo was wonderful!!! Everyone in our party, kids and adults alike, enjoyed themselves. The villa was perfect for us – everything from size, configuration, amenities and cleanliness. The property was beautiful and extremely well maintained, which is so important to us. We supported all the restaurants and the spa, which were convenient and well received by all of us. The welcome gift was just what was needed to get us started!! It is on our list for a trip back some day. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the support and ease of planning!!!
Sheryl Withee - Feb 2008
We had a wonderful trip. The welcome basket was an unexpected surprise and much appreciated! The surrounding area is certainly beautiful and my husband and I look forward to returning. The water and the Arch in the background are just breathtaking. We loved our room at La Estancia and the ocean front with the window over the Jacuzzi was my favorite! Thank you for asking how the trip went. We really did enjoy it! Stacey
Stacey Fujiwara - Feb 2008
Our time in Cabo was great. The condo was more than we expected. It was big, beautiful, clean and great views from the terrace. We enjoyed the gift basket. We did not use the transportation service but rented a car. We especially liked the idea of the pantry being stocked with most everything one could ask for. Nothing you purchase goes to waste. We couldn't get the safe to lock but didn't really need it. We would stay in this unit again without doubt and have already recommended it to friends. We also would be interested in other properties you manage elsewhere.
Darlene Staples - Jan 2008
Giovanni, Our trip to Cabo was fabulous....the condo was more than what we expected. The staff at the La Estancia was overly friendly....the manager and crew at the restaurant were exceptionally great. We all plan to return sometime next year for sure. We will definitely recommend your place to all our friends...it was truly beautiful and very clean...and the view was great. Thanks for having such a great place to stay.
Debbie Cunningham - Oct 2007
Dear Giovanni, Our vacation was wonderful. We were impressed with the accommodations at Villa La Estancia. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. I loved the terraces. Having both 1303A&B allowed us to be together but certainly allowed for privacy. The service at the resort was top-notch. When we visit Cabo again, you will hear from us, and we will share your information with our friends.
Stephanie Walker - Oct 2007
Dear Giovanni, Just a note of thanks to say how much we enjoyed our accommodations at Cabo La Estancia over spring break, and how well all transportation arrangements you made on our behalf worked out. Normally, we would not send a letter of thanks, but this clearly was an exception. We were delighted and pleasantly surprised to say the least. The Villa at La Estancia was beautiful and spacious. We leased a two bedroom unit which worked out perfectly for our family. The views of the ocean were incredible and the amenities were great. Our children had their privacy on one side of the villa, we had ours in the master bedroom on the other side, and the large living room and kitchen in between served us well. Friends staying at other facilities noted that their "queen" beds were really doubles, and so we were glad to discover that ours were actual king and queen-sized beds. It was by far one of the nicest units we have ever rented, including those available at luxury hotels. In addition, your transportation service to and from the airport was simple and carefree, as it should be. We highly recommend your professional services and Villa La Estancia to anyone traveling to Cabo San Lucas.
Ronald Zenk - Apr 2007
Hi Giovanni, We LOVED La Estancia it was so beautiful! We had a spectacular view and felt so relaxed there! The condos are gorgeous with plenty of elbow room for a family of 5....We spent a lot of time out on the balcony, had a fantastic time at the dolphin swim.........etc........Thank you.....it was awesome!

text: It won't have Johnny Depp, Ricki Lake, Iggy Pop, or Traci Lords, but the musical version of John Waters's 1990 film Cry-Baby will have plenty of cool-kid drapes and uptight squares (plus new songs). Cry-Baby, the second Waters film to be translated to the Broadway stage, begins previews on March 15 at NYC's Marquis Theatre. Most tickets will cost $54, in an homage to the year the story takes place (1954). The last Waters pic to go to Broadway, Hairspray, has done pretty well: it's been running since 2002.

Seminiferous tubule
Seminiferous tubule | |
Seminiferous tubule in cross-section (large tubular structure - center of image) with sperm (black, tiny, ovoid bodies furthest from the outer edge of the tubular structure). H&E stain. | |
1: Testicular septa 2: Convoluted seminiferous tubules 3: Testicular lobules 4: Straight seminiferous tubules 5: Efferent ductules 6: Rete testis |
Latin | tubuli seminiferi |
Gray's | subject #258 1243 |
MeSH | Seminiferous+Tubules |
Seminiferous tubules are located in the testes, and are the specific location of meiosis, and the subsequent creation of gametes, namely spermatozoa.
The epithelium of the tubule consists of sustentacular or Sertoli cells, which are tall, columnar type cells that line the tubule.
In between the Sertoli cells are spermatogenic cells, which differentiate through meiosis to sperm cells.
There are two types: convoluted and straight, convoluted toward the lateral side, and straight as the tubule comes medially to form ducts that will exit the testis.
The seminiferous tubules are formed from primitive sex cords. It is the medullary cords which develop into the seminiferous tubules and the cortical cords regress. The cords were formed from the gonadal ridge.

One of the most incredible things about following in the way of Jesus is the honor of working to make God's Kingdom come on earth, as it is in Heaven. In Matthew 25 Jesus said that when we provide food, shelter, clothing, friendship and love to the overlooked, voiceless people in society we are providing those things to him. When we share tears, laughter, our lives and resources with our downtrodden brothers and sisters we are sharing those things with Jesus himself. If you stop to think about that long enough the joy becomes overwhelming.
We at Eikon have a specific opportunity to collectively and directly experience that and we want you to join us, whether or not you call Eikon home or even if you have no interest in the whole Jesus thing.
On any given night in Central Arkansas there are roughly 2,500 people without homes and food. For a number of years the area below the Broadway Street Bridge has been a gathering place for many of these folks. Starting at 6:05PM on Friday, November 26th (next week!) Eikon will prepare and serve a meal on the fourth Friday of every month to those who are there.
Given our size and limited resources, this is quite an undertaking for us. We should expect a minimum of 50 people for each meal, and over 100 is not uncommon on evenings when the weather is enjoyable. We are committed to serving fresh, healthy food bought locally and sustainably when possible as well as sustainable cutlery and serving containers. If we're going to pull it off we need help in the following areas:
Food Planning: 4-6 people are needed to plan the menu and shopping list every month. Those interested can sit at the same table at Eikon Sunday night and we'll get the planning done then.
Shopping: 2-4 people are needed to shop for each meal. The money will come from Eikon funds.
Cooks and kitchens: Our hope is that several of us can cook each meal together. The cooking could realistically be done by about 4 people, but it would be a lot more fun if we cook as a group. We may have to cook at 2 locations, so we also need at least 1 more centrally located kitchen.
Set-up: 4 people are needed to pick up, transport and set up tables, tents (if raining), etc. This will also involve tear down and taking the materials back to storage.
Servers: The more the merrier. If we have more than needed we can serve each other and some of us can just hang out and get to know some new friends. We'll throw clean up in here as well.
Money: This isn't really our favorite subject at Eikon, but the bottom line is we need resources to pull this off. You can write a check or donate online. If you desire, you can designate your contribution to this specific effort by writing 4th Friday in the memo.
This is starting next week, so we need help right now. Obviously people can volunteer for more than one of these needs. Please email or call John at 501.319.5363 if you have questions or are interested in helping in one or more of these areas.
Seriously, this is going to be so much fun we should be paying admission.

Wakefield High School, 1961 hockey team
Dublin Core
Wakefield High School, 1961 hockey team
Schools -- Massachusetts -- Wakefield -- Pictorial works; Hockey -- Massachusetts -- Wakefield.
Wakefield (Mass.) -- History -- Pictorial works.
The 1960-1961 hockey team won the top spot in the Middlesex League (front row, left to right) B. Barry, R. Ring, E. Knowlton, C. Finney, M. Toth, and W. Barry. (Second row, left to right) M. Nardone, P. Butler, W. Bacon, H. Lattanzi, P. O'Keefe, J. Langlois, R. Hugo, Coach Callan. (Third row, left to right) D. Frey, A. Swanson, J. McWhinnie, Captain M. O'Keefe, Captain R. Hubbard, R. DeFeo, H. Lilley, and J. Barrett.
"Although mention of a hockey team at Wakefield High School can be traced to 1913, it was not fully recognized as a sport until the 1937-38 school year. Hockey at WHS got off to a slow start, eventually being dropped in 1919. A group of Greenwood boys were interested in starting a team, and in 1930 recruited Mr. Heavens to be the faculty manager. Edmund Dagnino, former WHS star and player in the Boston Hockey Club, was recruited as coach. In its early years, the hockey team practiced and played games on Lake Quannapowitt, limiting the number of games which could be played each year. In 1940, WHS joined the Eastern Massachusetts Hockey League and remained in that league until joining the Middlesex League. Longtime coach Charles Kirk won his first Middlesex League championship in 1961, and reclaimed it in 1964. The WHS hockey team has captured the Middlesex League crown several times, including in 1980 with a 16-0 record, and most recently in 1989 when the team record stood at 19-0-1 (overall 20-2-1)." -- Text from calendar.

Plan your laundry room with these smart ideas on counters, storage, sinks, lighting, appliances and more, brought to you by Whirlpool.
Today, more and more homeowners are multi-tasking in the laundry room. From incorporating a gift wrapping station or a project work area, to creating a spot for arranging flowers and repotting plants, we're using the laundry room as a space for more than just cleaning clothes.
Whether your laundry room is a dedicated space of its own or tucked away in the corner of the basement, consider the ways in which you can expand its role in your home. With a little imagination and effort, you can make any laundry area a more organized, appealing space where you can work on your latest project while washing a few loads!
Focus on the layout
A good starting point is to think of your laundry room's design as similar to that of a kitchen, incorporating intuitive appliances, like the Whirlpool® Duet® laundry pair, a work surface and storage in a way that maximizes efficiency and comfort.
The ideal laundry room incorporates four zones: a prep area, a wash and dry centre, a folding counter and a finishing centre, as seen in The Intuitive Laundry Room design by professional organizer Clare Kumar.
Place washers and dryers near each other to easily move clothes from one to the other. Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer doors open to each so you can grab clothes from the washer and place it in the dryer without a door getting in the way.
Where space is available, place hampers, shelves and baskets beneath a counter. Install the counter at waist-height for easy folding, and choose hampers on wheels. Ensure baskets are available for clean clothes specifically, and hang a rod above the counter for those items needing to be air-dried.
For smaller laundry loads, Whirlpool Duet washers feature a Fanfresh™ Option with Dynamic Venting Technology™ — a fan starts after the wash cycle is over and tumbles clothes for up to 16 hours, so small loads can be washed and dried right in the washer** And if you need to wear clothes right away, options like a Quick Refresh Steam Cycle in the dryer relaxes wrinkles and reduces odours in just 15 minutes.
Front-loading washers and dryers can also be placed beneath a countertop on which to sort or fold laundry.
Map out a space where you can comfortably set up an ironing board near an electrical outlet. Choose practical locations for mounting hooks and installing shelves for storage of laundry supplies or project materials.
(Tip: Make laundry distribution an easier task by placing clean clothes in separate baskets, each tagged with a family member's name.)
Don't settle for an ugly sink
A utility sink need not be the typical old plastic tub on feet: A stainless steel, enamel or bathroom sink with gooseneck faucet (high enough to fill a bucket) are all good choices for the laundry room. A sturdy deep sink will enable you to clean rubber boots, soak large items, arrange flowers or fill tall vases.
Mix open and closed storage
Open shelving above the sink and appliances can hold neatly arranged storage baskets, bins and glass containers full of powder detergent, clothespins or soaps. Wall-mounted cupboards with doors can be used for tucking away detergent bottles, cleaning supplies and other miscellaneous laundry or project necessities. If square-footage allows, install lower cabinets under the sink and anywhere else in the room where you may be able to fit them. This will provide extra storage and add warmth and interest to the space. Install a tall, narrow cabinet at one end of a wall for storing mops, brooms and a vacuum.
Keep comfort in mind
Put washers and dryers atop pedestals for easy access to loads and lighter strain on your back. Plus, you'll get extra storage in the pedestal drawers. Whirlpool brand pedestals bring appliances to the optimal height, too. Choose floors that are soft to stand on.
Remember lighting
Recessed lighting can be installed under upper cabinets for illuminating the task at hand. However, if you plan to use the laundry room for other jobs, you'll want to install ambient and task lighting throughout the space as well.
Personalize it
Paint walls a soothing colour and keep some wall space free for hanging framed artwork — both will help the room feel as comfortable as the rest of your home. Find space to accommodate a radio to listen to music while sorting, unloading and folding your laundry.
Choose appliances with smart features that help simplify your laundry process
To take the guesswork out of laundry, Whirlpool Duet features 6th Sense Technology. The Whirlpool Duet washer has a unique dispenser, which holds up to 36 loads of 6x concentrated HE detergent, and will automatically dispense the optimal amount of detergent based on each individual load.
Instead of pre-soaking stains, use steam options that help remove stains for you.
The Whirlpool Duet Steam dryer has intuitive features as well, like Advanced Moisture Sensing, ending the drying cycle as soon as the load is dry to help prevent over drying.
Select Whirlpool Duet dryers also have a unique material inside to keep noise contained for a quieter laundry experience — great for those appliances near bedrooms and other living areas.
Make a small space work
For small spaces, try all-in-one laundry racks, available at home hardware retailers. The units usually consist of laundry bags, a hanging rod and a hinged shelf for folding laundry.
Even a compact space can accommodate a multi-purpose laundry room: A small drop-leaf table and chair against the wall can be pulled out for folding laundry or can work as a gift wrapping or crafts station when needed.
Incorporating a laundry area in a mudroom is a growing trend. A washer and dryer can be at the ready for cleaning muddy, grass-stained or wet clothes. Folding doors in front of the appliances can conceal them when not in use.

Ethiopian cuisine
Ethiopian cuisine characteristically consists of vegetable and often very spicy meat dishes, usually in the form of wat (also w'et or wot), a thick stew, served atop injera, a large sourdough flatbread,[1] which is about 50 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter and made out of fermented teff flour.[1] Ethiopians eat exclusively with their right hands, using pieces of injera to pick up bites of entrées and side dishes.[1] Utensils are rarely used with Ethiopian cuisine.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church prescribes a number of fasting (tsom Ge'ez: ጾም ṣōm) periods, including Wednesdays, Fridays, and the entire Lenten season; so Ethiopian cuisine contains many dishes that are vegan.[2]
Ethiopian cuisine strongly resembles those of neighboring Eritrea and Somalia, except for the fact that Eritrean and Somali cooking tend to feature more seafood than Ethiopian cuisine on account of their coastal locations. A typical dish consists of injera accompanied by a spicy stew, which frequently includes beef, kid, lamb or fish.[3] Eritrean dishes are also frequently "lighter" in texture than Ethiopian meals. They likewise tend to employ less seasoned butter and spices and more tomatoes, as in the tsebhi dorho delicacy. Additionally, owing to its colonial history, cuisine in Eritrea features more Ottoman and Italian influences than are present in Ethiopian cooking, including more pasta specials and greater use of curry powders and cumin.[4]
Gurage cuisine also makes use of the false banana plant (enset, Ge'ez: እንሰት inset), a type of ensete. The plant is pulverized and fermented to make a bread-like food called qocho or kocho (Ge'ez: ቆጮ ḳōč̣ō), which is eaten with kitfo.[5] The root of this plant may be powdered and prepared as a hot drink called bulla (Ge'ez: ቡላ būlā), which is often given to those who are tired or ill. Another typical Gurage preparation is coffee with butter (kebbeh).
Pasta is frequently available throughout Ethiopia, including rural areas.[1] Coffee is also a large part of Ethiopian culture/cuisine. After every meal, a coffee ceremony is enacted and espresso coffee is served.
Traditional ingredients[edit]
Berbere, a combination of powdered chili pepper and other spices (somewhat analogous to Southwestern American chili powder), is an important ingredient used in many dishes. Also essential is niter kibbeh, a clarified butter infused with ginger, garlic, and several spices.[6][7]
In their adherence to strict fasting, Ethiopian cooks have developed a rich array of cooking oil sources—besides sesame and safflower—for use as a substitute for animal fats which is forbidden during fasting periods. Ethiopian cuisine also uses nug (also spelled noog, known also as niger seed).[2]
Wat begins with a large amount of chopped red onion, which is simmered or sauteed in a pot. Once the onions have softened, niter kebbeh (or, in the case of vegan dishes, vegetable oil) is added. Following this, berbere is added to make a spicy keiy wat or keyyih tsebhi. Turmeric is used instead of bebere for a milder alicha wat or both are omitted when making vegetable stews, atkilt wat. Meat such as beef (Amharic: ሥጋ?,[8] səga), chicken (Amharic: ዶሮ?,[9] doro) or Tigrinya: derho?), fish (Amharic: ዓሣ?,[10] asa), goat or lamb (Amharic: በግ?,[11] beg or Tigrinya: beggi?) is also added. Legumes such as split peas (Amharic: ክክ?,[12] kək or Tigrinya: kikki?') or lentils (Amharic: ምስር?,[13] məsər or birsin); or vegetables such as potatoes (Amharic: ድንች?,[14] Dənəch), carrots and chard (Tigrinya: costa) are also used instead in vegan dishes.
Each variation is named by appending the main ingredient to the type of wat (e.g. kek alicha wat). However, the word keiy is usually not necessary, as the spicy variety is assumed when it is omitted (e.g. doro wat). The term atkilt wat is sometimes used to refer to all vegetable dishes, but a more specific name can also be used (as in dinich'na caroht wat which translates to "potatoes and carrots stew"; but notice the word "atkilt is usually omitted when using the more specific term).
Meat along with vegetables are sautéed to make tibs (also tebs, t'ibs, tibbs, etc., Ge'ez ጥብስ ṭibs). Tibs is served in a variety of manners and can range from hot to mild or contain little to no vegetables. There are many variations of tibs, depending on type and size or shape of the cuts of meat used.
The mid-18th century European visitor to Ethiopia, Remedius Prutky, describes tibs as a portion of grilled meat served "to pay a particular compliment or show especial respect to someone."[15] This is perhaps still true as the dish is still prepared today to commemorate special events and holidays.
Oromo dishes[edit]
- Waadii - also known as tibs; specially seasoned
- Anchotte - a common dish in the western part of Oromia (Wallaga)
- Baduu - also known as aybe
- Marqaa - also known as genfo
- Chechebsa
- Qoocco - Although also known as kocho, it is not the Gurage type of kocho but a different kind; a common dish in the western part of Oromia (Wallaga)
- Itto - also known as wat; comprises all sorts of wat, including vegetables and/or meat
- Chuuco - a sweet flavor of whole grain also known as besso; flavored with butter and spices
- Chororsaa- a common dish in western part of Oromia (Wallaga)
Gurage dishes[edit]
Another distinctively Ethiopian dish is kitfo (frequently spelled ketfo). It consists of raw (or rare) beef mince marinated in mitmita (Ge'ez: ሚጥሚጣ mīṭmīṭā, a very spicy chili powder similar to the berbere) and niter kibbeh. Gored gored is very similar to kitfo, but uses cubed rather than ground beef.
Ayibe is a cottage cheese that is mild and crumbly. It is much closer in texture to crumbled feta. Although not quite pressed, the whey has been drained and squeezed out. It is often served as a side dish to soften the effect of very spicy food. It has little to no distinct taste of its own. However, when served separately, ayibe is often mixed with a variety of mild or hot spices typical of Gurage cuisine.
Gomen Kitfo[edit]
Gomen kitfo is another typical Gurage dish. Collard greens (ጎመን gōmen) are boiled, dried and then finely chopped and served with butter, chili and spices. It is a dish specially prepared for the occasion of Meskel, a very popular holiday marking the discovery of the True Cross. It is served along with ayibe or sometimes even kitfo in this tradition called dengesa.
Fit-fit or fir-fir is a common breakfast dish. It is made from shredded injera or kitcha stir-fried with spices or wat. Another popular breakfast food is fatira. The delicacy consists of a large fried pancake made with flour, often with a layer of egg, eaten with honey. Chechebsa (or kita firfir) resembles a pancake covered with berbere and niter kibbeh, or spices, and may be eaten with a spoon. A porridge, genfo is another common breakfast dish. It is usually served in a large bowl with a dug-out made in the middle of the genfo and filled with spiced niter kibbeh.
Typical Ethiopian snacks would be dabo kolo (small pieces of baked bread that are similar to pretzels) or kolo (roasted barley sometimes mixed with other local grains). Kolo is often sold by kiosks and street venders wrapped in a paper cone. Snacking on popcorn is also common.[1]
According to some sources, coffee (buna) holds a legitimate claim as originating from Ethiopia[1] where it is a critical component of the economy[16] and is a central part of Ethiopian beverages.
The coffee ceremony is the traditional serving of coffee, usually after a big meal. It often involves the use of a jebena (ጀበና), a clay coffee pot in which the coffee is boiled. The preparer roasts the coffee beans right in front of guests, then walks around wafting the smoke throughout the room so participants may sample the scent of coffee. Then the preparer grinds the coffee beans in a traditional tool called a mokecha. The coffee is put into the jebena, boiled with water, and then served with small cups called si'ni. Coffee is usually served with sugar, but is also served with salt in many parts of Ethiopia. In some parts of the country, nit kibbeh is added instead of sugar or salt.
Snacks, such as popcorn or toasted barley (or kollo), are often served with the coffee. In most homes, a dedicated coffee area is surrounded by fresh grass, with special furniture for the coffee maker. A complete ceremony has three rounds of coffee (Abol, Tona and Bereka) and is accompanied by the burning of frankincense.
Tej is a potent honey wine,[1] similar to mead, that is frequently served in bars (in particular, in a tej bet or "tej house"). Katikala and araqe are inexpensive local spirits that are very strong.
Tella is a home-brewed beer served in "tella bet" ("tella" houses) which specialize in serving "tella" only. "Tella" is the most common beverage made and served in households during holidays.
Ambo Mineral Water or Ambo wuha is a bottled carbonated mineral water, sourced from the springs in Ambo Senkele near the town of Ambo.[1][17]
Atmet is a barley and oat-flour based drink that is cooked with water, sugar and kibe (Ethiopian clarified butter) until the ingredients have married and become a consistency slightly thicker than egg-nog. Though this drink is often given to women who are nursing, the sweetness and smooth texture make it a comfort drink for anyone who enjoys its flavor.
A gursha (var. gorsha, goorsha) is an act of friendship and love. When eating injera, a person uses his or her right hand to strip off a piece, wraps it around some wat or kitfo, and then puts it into his or her mouth. During a meal with friends or family, it is a common custom to feed others in the group with one's hand by putting the rolled injera or a spoon full of other dishes into another's mouth.[18] This is called a gursha, and the larger the gursha, the stronger the friendship or bond (only surpassed by the brewing of Tej together). This tradition was popularized and celebrated in a Simpsons episode featuring Ethiopian cuisine.[19]

For maximum usefulness, consider making more than one barrel and then "daisy chain" them together. Even if you have limited space for water storage, daisy chained rain barrels can be staked or lined along the side of your home or business. More storage capacity will increase the amount of rainwater you can use on your garden (which is much better for plants health than city water), or to slowly infiltrate the rainwater into the soil to reduce polluted stormwater runoff, even if you don't have a garden that needs watering. Rainwater harvesting addresses both conservation and stormwater pollution prevention. Here's a demonstration project that describes daisy chaining rainbarrels in San Francisco, CA: http://www.whollyh2o.org/demoprojects/item/157-tara-hui-demo-project.html

Thank you for the wonderful advice Elizabeth. Yes, utilizing two rain barrels is the way to obtain optimum usage of your rain storage system. Thanks again for the wonderful demonstration!

The humble rain barrel is one of those things which is incredibly simple, within almost everyone's reach to make, and so useful. We always had one at home when I was growing up but I am very ashamed to say that I have never had one myself. This will be my summer resolution – get a rain barrel, or maybe two. I might be able to set off a trend in my street!

Thank for your comment. I personally have an average size garden, about 15 x 4. With one full barrel, I can water it about four times before depleting my water source. By then usually a shower has come and refilled my water supply. Also an idea to think about is installing your rain barrel in a way in which it automatically waters your garden, creating what is called a rain garden. I did this by simply burying my over flow tube (with pre drilled holes) into the bed of my garden, so that it would water itself. Another idea, with landscaping in mind is "rain barrel art". This allows you to create a more appealing barrel, to match your landscaping. Check out this web site to learn how. http://www.aquabarrel.com/learn_paint_a_barrel.php. Thanks again for the comment.

What do the first months of trading say about the spread between spot markets and futures prices?
ust over nine months ago the New York Mercantile
Exchange opened trading in the first-ever electricity futures contracts. As occurred
previously in oil and gas, futures trading in electricity
promises to play a central role in
commodity markets (em markets that are gradually evolving as competitive.
Electricity futures also provide a valuable tool for managers at utilities or other power producers. Futures convey critical information about the value of power that buyers and seller can exploit to raise profits and boost returns for shareholders. That being said, the trading of futures is not necessarily a prerequisite for understanding the market or the signals it sends about the value of power. Futures prices, however, should command attention (em not only from the operations and marketing staff at the major utilities, but also from electricity consumers.
It is the price of futures contracts that offers useful information on such decisions as when to buy or sell, and on what terms.
Timing Power Supply Decisions
The price for power varies by month of delivery. In a competitive market, the price differential between months will fluctuate with current supply and demand conditions, sometimes dramatically. Knowing the premium
currently paid for well-timed capacity provides an important key to maximizing profit. How high is that premium now?
To answer this question analysts look to the cash-futures basis (em to the difference between (a) the cash or "spot" price paid for immediate delivery and (b) the futures price quoted currently for delivery during the month ahead. For example, Figure 1 shows the one-month, cash-futures basis as it developed this past summer. Throughout April and May the basis for delivery in June remained positive, indicating that the futures price lay below the spot price; buyers were not yet ready to pay a premium. However, a premium did develop in June for delivery in July, as can be seen by the fact that the basis turned generally negative. The premium that developed in July for August delivery was the highest of the season.
Of course, industry participants need not restrict their horizons to looking only one month forward. Examining futures prices for contracts to deliver two, three, and more months out make it possible to identify the premium paid for capacity available several months forward.
Attention to the cash-futures basis enables a utility to manage operating and supply decisions for maximum return. A utility with hydroelectric capacity must often decide when and how much water to release. Holding onto the water gives the utility the opportunity to sell power at high prices in the event of unpredicted outages or surges in demand. Futures prices reveal the premium paid currently for assured supply in the future; they can be used to calculate the value of water stored in the reservoir for comparison against the return to be earned from an immediate release.
Granted, many factors other than price may determine or constrain the rate of water release. But where economics matters at all, data from

The 5th Corner by Ben Harris - ebook DOWNLOAD
Item Number: BX1169
A flash back to 1987 and a "long lost" manuscript, seen by only ten: Jerry Andrus, David Britland, Jeff Busby, Dave Faulkner, David Harkey, Ed Marlo, Dan McArthy, Harvey Rosenthal, Jay Sankey and Mark Trudinger, made it's brief, and only appearance... then, it was gone!
So what is the 5th Corner? It's a splash of ideas and techniques with a single playing card and it's ripped corners. You are both "one ahead" and "two behind" at the SAME TIME. This charming but annoying attribute is what probably led to the stony silence heard by the author in 1987. Can YOU make head-way with this strange and bizarre single-card oddity?
Why not give it a go, STRETCH you mind and explore.

Seared Shrimp Salad
This light and refreshing salad makes for a perfect warm-weather meal when avocados are in season.
Combine the orange juice, lime juice, honey, 1/2 teaspoon of the crushed red pepper, the soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small nonreactive bowl. Whisk to blend. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the 1/4 cup olive oil. Set the vinaigrette aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil in a 12- inch saute pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan, in two batches if necessary, and cook until they have curled and are just cooked through, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the greens, oranges, red onion, and pinch of salt. Whisk the vinaigrette, and add 3 tablespoons to the salad. Toss lightly to combine, and then divide the salad among four serving plates. Take 3 to 4 slices of the avocado and fan them out on top of each salad. Divide the shrimp evenly among the salads. Drizzle a little more vinaigrette over the shrimp and avocado, and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- One 5-ounce bag prewashed mixed greens (about 8 cups)
- 2 oranges, peeled and segmented
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 ripe avocado, halved, seeded, and thinly sliced
