Really, it is only embryonic stem cells that ever have an issue here with banning/restriction. That isn't nearly as much of a setback now as it was 3-4 years ago. Even if you ignore the ethical issues, the setback is probably worth it - it has accelerated the development of techniques for "undifferentiated" adult stem cells so they can create more cell lineages than they could have naturally. Why is this a big deal? What kind of rejection issues will you have to face when your new transplant comes from another person's tissue? Now, what if it comes from your own? That's the advantage.
I'd rather have some kind of hybrid, like a titanium kneecap with this polymer connecting the end joints.
Dammit, if I'm going to get body parts replaced when I'm older I want to be able to knee someone in the head and have it sound like an aluminum bat hitting a soft ball. *tink!*
So the spectator sport of cybernetic combat will actually take the form of geriatric men brawling.
I still think it will sell, though.

EMERALD ISLE IMMIGRATION CENTER "Meeting the Needs of the Newest Irish Arrivals" WOODSIDE, QUEENS 59-26 Woodside Avenue Woodside, NY 11377 (718) 478-5502 Fax: (718) 446-3727 WOODLAWN, The BRONX 280 East 236th Street Woodlawn, NY 10470 (718) 324-3039 Fax: (718) 324-7741 Coordinating Agency: National Coalition of Irish Immigrant Centers-NY Region http://www.eiic.org GUIDE TO CITIZENSHIP NATURALIZATION Naturalization is the process by which a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) becomes a U.S. citizen. In order to naturalize, a lawful permanent resident has to meet certain requirements. BENEFITS OF U.S. CITIZENSHIP A citizen has the right to vote for elected officials at the federal, state and local levels who shape the policy of the government. Only a citizen has the right to hold most city, state or federal offices, and the right to hold certain federal, state and city jobs. Citizens can leave the U.S. and live in another country for as long as they want and travel may be easier for U.S. citizens to certain countries. Citizens can petition for more family members to come to the U.S. with shorter waiting lists for green card sponsorship. Citizens cannot be prevented from re-entering the U.S. or removed (removed or deported). Citizens do not have to worry about renewing their green cards every ten years. Citizens who retire abroad receive full Social Security benefits (whereas lawful permanent residents receive only half their benefits) and citizens may be subject to fewer restrictions on estate taxes. Certain countries, including Ireland and the United Kingdom, recognize "dual citizenship" permitting naturalized U.S. citizens to maintain their citizenship of birth and original passport. Citizens are eligible for more public benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Food Stamps, and certain types of educational scholarships and financial aid. In some cases, children under 18 years of age can naturalize automatically with their parents. BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NATURALIZATION 1. You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. Minor children under 18 years of age are eligible for citizenship when their parent(s) naturalize(s). 2. You have been a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for at least four years and nine months or you are a lawful permanent resident for at least two years and nine months AND have been married to a U.S. citizen for that time period AND continue to be married and living with that U.S. citizen. 3. You must have been a resident of the state from which you are applying for at least three months. 4. You have "good moral character" - last five (three) years of taxes have been properly paid, males between 18-26 years old have registered for the Selective Service, no criminal record, etc. 5. You must be able to speak, read, write and understand basic English unless you are at least fifty (50) years of age and have been a lawful permanent resident for at least twenty (20) years; or you are at least fifty-five (55) years of age and have been a lawful permanent resident for at least fifteen (15) years; or you have a permanent physical or developmental disability or mental impairment making it impossible for you to meet the English language requirement. 6. You must be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of U.S. history and principles of government unless you have a permanent physical or developmental disability or mental impairment making it impossible for you to meet the civics requirement; or you qualify for "special consideration" because you are at least sixty-five (65) years of age and have been a lawful permanent resident for at least twenty (20) years. 7. You must have been physically present in the U.S.A. for at least 30 months (2½ years) of the five years or 18 months (1½ years) of the three years you have resided in the U.S. and you have not left the U.S.A. for more than six months on any one trip and you intend to permanently reside in the U.S. These are the basic requirements for naturalization for most applicants. Other requirements may affect you depending on individual circumstances. Also, there are exceptions and waivers for some of the naturalization requirements. Please contact us at the Emerald Isle if you have any questions or think you may be eligible. THE APPLICATION PROCESS You will need the following application forms and materials to apply: 1. Form N-400 (Rev. 11/01/2006) (Application for Naturalization). 2. 2 color passport style photographs, 2" x 2" 3. Photocopy of alien registration card (green card), front and back. 4. $400.00 application and fingerprint fee, by money order or personal check, payable to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, with your name, address and alien registration number on the front of the check. 5. If applying as a spouse of a U.S. citizen, a copy of your marriage license and U.S. spouse's birth certificate (if born in the U.S.) or Certificate of Naturalization (if naturalized). 6. A photocopy of USCIS Form N-648 (Medical waiver) completed by a psychologist or physician if you have a mental or physical disability that makes it difficult to learn English and/or take the Civics examination. N-400 forms may be obtained in by mail by calling the USCIS Forms Hotline at (800) 870-3676, or ordered on the Internet at www.uscis.gov. Application packets for applicants in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania should be mailed "Certified Mail - Return Receipt Requested" to the following address: USCIS Vermont Service Center PO Box 400 St. Albans, VT 05479 Please contact us for the address of your regional service center if you are applying from another state not listed above. You may also make an appointment with EIIC and complete your citizenship application with the assistance of a trained counselor. CHANGE OF ADDRESS - If your address changes while your application is pending, you should call the USCIS Customer Service Hotline (800-375-5283) to change your address over the phone. Using the automated menu, press 1 for English, press 2 to bypass the introduction, press 2 for Pending Applications and then press 1 for Address Change. If the USCIS does not have your current address, you will not be able to receive timely notification of fingerprint and interview appointments, which may cause your case to be closed. Do not rely on the U.S. Post Office mail forwarding service for timely notification. TRIPS OUTSIDE THE U.S. – You are permitted to travel outside the United States while your application is pending provided your trips are for less than six months at a time. You must maintain a permanent residence within the United States at all times. While you are away, have someone monitor your mail in case you are contacted for an appointment with the USCIS. Generally the USCIS gives at least two weeks notice before an appointment. FINGERPRINTS Citizenship applications are now filed without fingerprints. Instead applicants are required to submit $70.00 in addition to the $330.00 application fee. Applicants for naturalization who are seventy-five (75) years of age or older are exempt from the fingerprint requirement and fee. Applicants should be notified by mail within 1 month of filing to be scheduled for fingerprinting at one of the USCIS Application Support Centers (ASC). The ASCs in the New York metropolitan area are as follows: Bronx 2378 Grand Concourse Brooklyn 227 Livingston Street Long Island 100 Main Street, Suite B, Hempstead Manhattan 201 Varick Street, 10th floor, #1023 Queens 63-05 Roosevelt Avenue, Woodside 153-01 Jamaica Ave, Ground floor, Jamaica Westchester 246 North Avenue, Suite 206, New Rochelle Do not appear at any of these sites without an appointment. Applicants should be assigned to the ASC closest to their current address. You must appear only at the assigned ASC at the date and time of your appointment. You may request a postponement or rescheduling of your appointment by mail. Applicants should bring photo identification and the scheduling notice received in the mail. Fingerprints are only valid for fifteen (15) months after they are taken. It is possible that the fingerprints may expire before your application is completely processed. Therefore, applicants fingerprinted more than fifteen months ago who have not already been sworn in as U.S. citizens must be re-printed under USCIS regulations. The USCIS will automatically notify applicants with expired fingerprints by mail to be re-printed at one of the ASCs. INTERVIEW In New York, it is taking between 4-8 months to be scheduled for a naturalization interview. Applicants will receive a notice in the mail telling them when and where to appear for the interview and what documents they need to bring with them. If you can not make your scheduled interview, you must notify the office where your interview is scheduled by mail. Send a letter requesting that your interview be rescheduled and return a copy of the appointment notice with the letter. During the interview the USCIS will: 1. Update and review information on the N-400 application. 2. Test your knowledge of U.S. history and government, unless you qualify for a waiver based on a disability. 3. Test for a basic ability to speak, read, write and understand English, unless you qualify for a waiver. 4. Review supporting documents including tax returns for the last five years, green card, birth certificate, passports, etc. 5. Determine your eligibility. Applicants who fail the English and/or civics examinations have the right to be re-examined within 90 days. Those who fail a second time must start the application process all over again from the beginning. Otherwise, the INS has 120 days from the interview to grant or deny the application. The USCIS will notify successful applicants of the swearing-in ceremony usually within 1-3 months after the interview. Updated 02/2007

GREENSBORO, N.C. — We knew we weren't in Newport, R.I. anymore as soon as the vast Grandover Parkway rounded the bend past stately, golf-course adjoining homes, and came up upon the 12-story, and equally as luxurious Grandover Resort, itself surrounded by a man-made lake and the challenging resort course, but with the ubiquitous ACC signage fitting in perfecting as to not tarnish the brass, gold and leather that adorns the hotel's lobby upon one's arrival.
"Welcome to the 2013 ACC Football Kickoff."
That message, along with the logos of the 14 football schools was everywhere on the property, and it's a visual that was never seen at the more traditional, New England flavored Hotel Viking, certainly nice in its own right along with all of the stately homes and old money that defines Newport, site of the former Big East football pre-season gathering the last decade.
» Related: Previewing Syracuse v. NC State
But the grandiose nature in which ACC conference has taken over this resort for a weekend provided a quick reminder that the move to the ACC is a move to a southern culture of football, and all the events surrounding the actual games being played are taken quite seriously.
Why did you know that this is the sixth time the Grandover Resort hosted this pre-season event? There's an entire stat sheet on the "Kickoff's" history dating back to 1976, when for some strange reason, the site is listed as "unknown."
This summer's event brought two newcomers for the first time in almost 10 years, and new kids on the block SU and Pitt were welcomed with open arms, including by their new opponents and the large media turnout.
The 'Cuse had seniors center Macky MacPherson and DL Jay Bromley on hand (the ACC limits each school to two players for the tightly scheduled proceedings) to represent each side of the ball, and from having fun joking around with their new foes before the group player photo session ("Look at how big his shoes are, he could hurt someone," joked Clemson Heisman Trophy candidate, QB Tajh Boyd to his Tiger teammates in reference to MacPherson's footwear), to being asked over and over by media members, many with a southern drawl, what's it feel like culturally for a northern team to join a southern league.
MacPherson, an unheralded high school player who's worked hard into his final season to earn a spot to be considered for the Rimington Award as the nation's top center, would like the debut ACC season to be one in which the Orange shock college football.
» Related: Syracuse's best wins against its new ACC opponents
"I think right now while I'm talking to you (the media circling around him) it'd be great to take this conference by surprise, by storm," MacPherson said with the utmost confidence. "It's something we want to do, too. We want to go out there, play solid football, play against these guys and really compete for an ACC championship. Then again you're not going to find a team that says they don't want to win an ACC championship, so we'd love to come out here, play our best football week-in and week-out and just see where it takes us."
On Monday, the Orange will find out just how many media members agree or not with the release of the pre-season predictions of the conference standings.

Would give it 5 stars but didnt like much too artificial perfume.I prefer it more natural.
conditions hair really well, light texture.

I live in a cold, dry climate and I have only been using this for a little while, but I have noticed my colored, naturally wavy-curly hair just drinks this stuff up. My curls actually behave better than when I use drug store brands (previously bought and finishing up the bottles). I do however like DE's coconut shampoo conditioner better (b/c no proteins) as my hair seems to behave better with that shampoo /conditioner combo.

Suzuki Celerio review
With its practical shape and low cost, the Suzuki Celerio is a decent little runabout
Sponsored Links
The Suzuki Celerio went on sale in early 2015, replacing both the Alto and Splash city cars. It is bigger inside than a Skoda Citigo, offers more standard equipment than a Hyundai i10, and is cheaper to run than a SEAT Mii.
Prices start from less than £8,000 and all models get alloy wheels, air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity and a DAB radio. If that's not enough, buyers can upgrade to the top-spec SZ4 for electric rear windows, body coloured trim and a four-speaker stereo. Quality can't match that of its European rivals, but no city car on the market offers so much kit for such little cash.
Engine choices are limited to a pair of 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrols – though the more economical of the two won't be available until April 2015. The standard engine is still very cheap to run, returning 65.7mpg and 99g/km of CO2 for free road tax. The Dualjet version will top 78mpg.
As you'd expect, performance takes a back seat, as this is a car designed for the city rather than the open road. That said, the tiny three-pot petrol packs plenty of punch and offers more than enough zip for darting around town.
Our choice: Celerio SZ3 1.0 67bhp
The Suzuki Celerio isn't going to win any beauty contests. It's a fairly inoffensive design, but the high level of standard equipment means personalisation options are largely limited to which paint colour you choose – with rival models offering far more in terms of extra kit and trim combinations.
The Celerio is a better looking and better proportioned car than the Alto and Splash models it replaces, but it can't match the Renault Twingo or Toyota Aygo in the style stakes. While its boxy body offers bags of interior space, it looks quite slab-sided next to Peugeot's dinky 108 or the classy Volkswagen up!.
That said, all models – even the basic SZ3 – come with alloy wheels and body coloured bumpers, while top-spec SZ4 cars add colour-coded mirrors, a chrome grille and front fog lights. Inside, all versions get DAB and Bluetooth, as well as air conditioning, a USB connection and CD player.
At a quick glance the changes are hard to spot, so unless you really feel the need to splash an extra £1,000 on the range-topping model, we'd stick to the entry-level SZ3.
Very few three-cylinder city cars will set the world alight with peppy performance and sports car-like handling. The Skoda Citigo and Fiat Panda come closest, but even then the underpowered engines will limit overtaking.
The Suzuki Celerio is no different. With 67bhp from its 1.0-litre petrol engine, its 0-62mph time is around 13 seconds and it has a top speed of 96mph. It feels nippy around town though, and the well-weighted steering allows for easy manoeuvring – especially when parking.
However, that well-weighted setup seems to disappear on faster roads, with a vagueness to the steering you just don't get in a Hyundai i10. That car feels much more grown up on the motorway, and if you do longer journeys on a regular basis, the Hyundai is a much better bet.
As a city car, though, the Celerio more than holds its own – with great visibility and dinky dimensions. We'd avoid the AGS automatic gearbox regardless of the type of driving you do, as its slow and unpredictable changes make it a chore to use. The standard five-speed manual is much smoother.
Like a number of other new cars, the Suzuki Celerio has suffered slightly at the hands of independent crash tester, Euro NCAP. It was awarded just three stars when it was examined in 2014 – some way short of the expected five star score for many modern cars.
Part of the reason for that is due to the lack of basic kit on entry-level European cars. In the UK, the Celerio adds side curtain airbags as standard, which should help improve safety. Electronic stability control, tyre pressure monitoring and hill-hold control are also included.
Disappointingly, Suzuki finished flat-bottom in the 2014 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey – coming a shocking 32nd out of 32 manufacturers. This is a big upset for the Japanese brand, especially as Toyota, Volkswagen and Hyundai all managed a mid-table finish. On the plus side, the solid (if a little cheap) interior build quality and simple mechanicals should ensure the Suzuki Celerio is a relatively trouble-free choice.
In February 2015 – just one day after the car went on sale – the Celerio suffered its first recall. The notice concerned potential high-speed braking failures resulting in all 100 UK registered right-hand-drive cars being recalled. Sales will resume once a fix has been put in place.
The new Celerio has got the biggest boot in its class, and there's enough room for five at a push. The slab-sided looks work in the Suzuki's favour, allowing for plenty of headroom, while thanks to the generous wheelbase, there's enough knee space for a six foot passenger in the rear. The driver's seat adjusts for height, too, so it shouldn't be too difficult to get comfortable up front.
At 254 litres, the boot is three litres larger than the VW up!, Skoda Citigo and SEAT Mii, and two litres bigger than the previously class-leading Hyundai i10. It's a decent shape, too, though the seats don't fold flat and there's a really annoying lip at the base. That won't be an issue for most, but it's certainly worth noting if you plan on carrying larger items on a regular basis.
Running Costs
It doesn't matter which city car you go for, almost every car in this class offers rock-bottom running costs. The Celerio is no exception, with the entry-level 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine emitting less than 100g/km of CO2 for free road tax.
From April 2015, a new Dualjet version will be made available offering 78mpg and just 84g/km CO2 emissions. That'll make it the most efficient car in its class – though in all honesty, the standard model will be frugal enough for most.
The Suzuki even boasts reasonably strong residuals, with all versions retaining around 39 percent of their value after three years. While that's not much on an £8,000 car, it means you're likely to get some money back when you do decide to trade in. Cheap insurance and servicing costs also help to minimize the impact on your wallet.

A vertically adjustable threshold member or bar is shipped in a down position and is adjusted upwardly at installation by attached shouldered leveling screws engaging within flared T-nuts of base or sub-structue. A compressible seal is interposed between the outer longitudinal edge of the adjustable threshold member and an extruded metal sill. The outer longitudinal edge of the threshold member is beveled slightly for increasing pressure on seal as threshold member is raised.
1. An adjustable threshold assembly comprising in combination a base member, a sill anchored to the base member and overlying it, a rigid water stop fixed to the base member and spaced from the sill and projecting above the base member, a compressible seal anchored to the sill and above the base member and in opposing spaced relation to said water stop and substantially parallel thereto, an adjustable threshold member disposed between the rigid water stop and said seal and substantially coextensive lengthwise therewith and disposed above the base member and adapted to rest thereon when in a full down position, and plural spaced adjusting and leveling screw devices for said adjustable threshold member carried thereby and having screwthreaded engagement within stationary nut means on said base member underlying said adjustable threshold member.
2. The structure of claim 1, and said screw devices consisting of dependent adjusting screws on said adjustable threshold member, insert nuts on the base member having flared lower ends to resist separation of the nuts from the base member and intermediate washer elements on the shanks of said adjusting screws and spaced from heads of the adjusting screws with the adjustable threshold member permanently secured between said heads and washer elements, whereby the adjusting screws are held captive on the adjustable threshold member while being freely rotatable thereon.
3. The structure of claim 2, and said adjusting screws having smooth unthreaded shanks between said heads and washer elements, the top and bottom faces of the adjustable threshold member being recessed to receive said heads and washer elements in substantially flush relationship with said top and bottom faces.
4. The structure of claim 1, and said adjustable threshold member being a generally rectangular bar-like member and having one longitudinal edge facing said compressible seal disposed at a slight angle to the vertical whereby the seal will be progressively compressed during elevation of the adjustable threshold member.
5. The structure of claim 4, and said compressible seal comprising a body portion anchored within a depressed chamber of said sill, a top portion bridging between said sill and adjustable threshold member, and a longitudinal dependent skirt disposed directly between said angled edge of the adjustable threshold member and an opposing vertical wall of said sill.
6. The structure of claim 5, and said sill comprising an extruded metal sill, said adjustable threshold member formed of hard wood, and said seal formed of rubber-like material.
7. The structure of claim 1, and a flexible moisture-proof sheet element underlying said sill and clamped by the sill against said base member, whereby said sheet element may extend below said base member and between an underlying structural member and an exterior finishing strip attached to the structural member.
8. The structure of claim 2, wherein said insert nuts comprise T-nuts.
Adjustable thresholds are known in the prior art and have for their purpose to compensate for unevenness and lack of squareness in doors and door frames, as well as to provide an improved doorway seal. Some examples of the patented prior art are shown by U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,374,579; 3,690,037 and 3,762,100.
The general objective of this invention is to improve on the prior art adjustable thresholds by rendering them less complicated and therefore less costly and by increasing their efficiency of operation and ease of installation.
Generally, the devices of the prior art have not been widely accepted because of undue complexity and cost and because they are difficult to install and properly adjust and lack the sturdiness of construction required for long service with practically no maintenance. The present invention seeks to overcome these and other deficiencies of the prior art, and various features and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the course of the following description.
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view in cross section of an adjustable threshold embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical cross section taken through the threshold and showing the adjustable threshold member in a full down position for shipment.
FIG. 3 is a similar sectional view showing the adjustable threshold member in a raised use position.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the invention, partly in section.
FIG. 5 is a vertical cross section taken longitudinally through the adjustable threshold member and showing the captured adjusting or leveling screws thereof with the threshold member in a down position as in FIG. 2 and taken on line 5--5 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 showing the threshold member in an adjusted and level position relative to a door.
Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like numerals designate like parts, the adjustable threshold according to the invention comprises a vertically adjustable threshold member or bar 10 preferably formed of hard wood, such as oak. The bar or member 10 has a shallow longitudinal recess 11 in its bottom face for a purpose to be described and is generally rectangular in cross section, as illustrated. However, the outer longitudinal side wall 12 of the adjustable threshold member is inclined slightly from the true vertical to provide a wedging or squeezing action on the longitudinal skirt 13 of an adjacent compressible rubber-like seal 14 as the threshold member 10 is adjusted upwardly.
The top face of the member 10 is recessed as at 15 to receive the flat heads 16 of adjusting or leveling screws 17, whose threaded shanks are received by T-nuts 18 anchored within openings of a sill filler or base member 19. The screw heads 16 are flush with or slightly below the top face of the adjustable threshold member 10, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The lower ends of the T-nuts 18 are flared at 20 to prevent their retraction from the filler member 19 during the adjustment of the threshold member 10.
The adjusting or leveling screws 17 have intermediate rigid flat plates or washers 21 affixed thereto by welding or the like and these elements are received within the bottom recess 11 of the adjustable member 10 and maintain the screws 17 captive on the member 10 although freely rotatable thereon to allow adjusting with a screwdriver.
A wooden water stop member 22 abuts the interior longitudinal edge of threshold member 10 and also has a horizontal shoulder 23 underlying the member 10, FIGS. 2 and 3. The shoulder 23 is flush with the top face of sill filler 19, FIGS. 2 and 3, and the heads 24 of T-nuts 18 are similarly flush with the top face of member 19. It may be seen that the adjustable threshold member 10 is trapped at all times between the water stop 22, which is a fixed member, and the compressible seal 14.
The adjustable threshold further comprises a preferably extruded aluminum sill 25 having dependent tines 26 which are embedded in the filler member 19 when the threshold is installed. An exterior dependent flange 27 of sill 25 rests on the top edge of a wooden finishing board or strip 28, as shown in FIG. 1. A moisture-proof barrier sheet 29 is preferably intervened between the finishing strip 28 and adjacent base member 30, and a top extension 31 of the barrier sheet is clamped as at 32 between the sill 25 and filler member 19.
The soft compressible seal 14 has a rounded top portion which bridges the space between sill member 25 and adjustable threshold member 10 and also forms a good seal therewith. A dependent body 33 of the compressible seal 14 is held captive in a compartment of the extruded sill 25 near the interior thereof, as shown. The dependent skirt 13 of the seal adjacent to the adjustable member 10 is squeezed between the slightly angled face 12 of the adjustable threshold member and the adjacent fixed vertical web 34 of sill 25.
A horizontally swinging door 35 is shown in FIG. 1 above the adjustable threshold member 10, and equipped with a lower edge seal or weather strip 36 which wipes the member 10 when the door is closed.
When the assembly, consisting of elements 19, 22, 10, 14, 25, 17 and 18, is shipped, the member 10 is preferably in the full down position shown in FIG. 2 for compactness and so that there will be no loose components.
During installation, however, the leveling screws 17 are utilized as required to raise and level the member 10 so as to compensate for irregularities in the door and doorway. FIG. 6 illustrates the manner in which one of the adjusting screws 17, namely the right hand screw in FIG. 6, may be utilized to raise one end of the member 10 a greater distance above the fixed filler member 19 than the opposite end thereof. In some instances, the reverse may prevail and in still other instances both ends of the member 10 may require adjusting upwardly substantially the same amounts. In this respect, the invention is very versatile and at the same time very simple. The construction is sturdy and there is no possibility for the component parts to be lost during shipment or otherwise separated. Once properly installed and adjusted, the parts will remain properly positioned for years with minimum attention or no attention. The advantages of the invention should now be apparent to those skilled in the art without the necessity for further description herein.
It is to be understood that the form of the invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope of the subjoined claims.

"Tarkovsky was sitting in the corner of the screening room watching the film with me, but he got up as soon as the film was over and looked at me with a shy smile. I said to him, 'It's very good. It's a frightening movie.' He seemed embarrassed but smiled happily. Then the two of us went to a film union restaurant and toasted with vodka. Tarkovsky, who does not usually drink, got completely drunk and cut off the speakers at the restaurant, then began singing the theme of Seven Samurai at the top of his voice. I joined in, eager to keep up. At that moment, I was very happy to be on Earth."

"Women's power is too potent to waste on selfies… Truly dangerous women aren't looking for dates or husbands, and they do not travel in packs. They rarely have many female friends. Their register is either universal, or intensely personal. They play mind games and make promises. Whether they deliver or not remains a secret, and secrets are essential to seduction. The Web has eroded every notion of privacy and stolen the real power of women: the threat of mystery itself. "I can see you're trouble" was once the biggest compliment a man could pay a woman. There was going to be a dark spiral into the whirlpool of sex; there were going to be tears on both sides, secrets and regrets, scandal. Today, everyone is trouble."

Letters to the Editor
I am writing in response to the special section on euthanasia (Winter Issue). I write from the perspective of a physician as well as a Buddhist practitioner. There seems a tenor to the arguments, both in the general media and also in the recent Tricycle issue, that I would like to address from these perspectives. It seems that euthanasia is discussed in almost consumer-driven terms. The patient is demanding the right for full self-determination of his or her time of death. The physician is then put in the place of deciding which patients are suffering enough to benefit by having their lives ended in an artificial way. This has nothing to do with pain relief or other necessities of nursing and medical care. From the physician's perspective, it seems impossible to be placed in the position of attempting to objectify what is adequate suffering to allow one person to die and what is insufficient to participate in an active death of another. From the perspective of a Buddhist practitioner, relieving suffering is certainly a noble concept but, at the same time, suffering is a natural part of human existence. To be granted the notion that if that reality somehow becomes too much for us, we can turn it off or transcend it in an artificial way by ending Our lives, seems to violate the Buddhist notion of the first noble truth. It seems to speak to a spiritual materialism that robs us of our relationship with death itself. To allow some patients but not others to exactly determine the mode of their exit seems to me to speak to the moral and spiritual bankruptcy in our civilization. While proponents of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are, for the most part, well-intentioned, loving, and caring individuals, the core of their argument seems to be a running away from the true experience of human existence.

In the last few issues of your review, much cleverness has been spent obscuring something obvious: opposition to abortion flows directly from Buddha's teaching, namely, the rejection of killing as a means of solving personal or social problems, the emphasis on the incalculable value of a human incarnation, and the teaching of compassion for all sentient beings.
In the Sutta Nipata, the Buddha teaches that "Just as a mother at the risk of her life loves and protects her child" so we must extend our protection to all living beings "without exception," including the small, the frail, the invisible, "those that are here, those seeking to exist." In the Jataka tale of the Banyon King, the Buddha declares that killing a fetus is exactly as serious as killing an adult.
Four thousand fetuses are killed each day in this country; in the four hundred second-trimester abortions daily the unborn child is often dismembered in the womb to preclude live birth. The Buddha, who fought to put a stop to animal sacrifices, would surely have considered this an appalling injustice. There can be no question that the Buddha would have concurred in Mother Theresa's assessment of abortion on demand: "When it becomes permissible for a mother to kill her child, all is lost." Nor can there be a question as to what we must do if socially engaged Buddhism is to be more than a series of fashionable moral postures.
Buddhism is pro-life.

I've been a feminist activist for twenty years and a Buddhist lay practitioner for five, but I found both the feminism and Buddhism in Rita Gross' article "Buddhism after Patriarchy" (Winter Issue) unrecognizable. My understanding and experience of Buddhism tell me that "sacred" and "mundane" are illusionary distinctions, and that practice is a matter of how I use my mind, not what I do. Working in the monastery garden or my own, sitting sesshin or taking care of a child can all be practice, if I make them practice. Feminism has taught me to see my preconceptions of people based on sex, race, nationality, and so on, and to try not to let them stand in the way of what I think people can do or be.
Rita Gross begins her article by saying that, "maintaining one's livelihood and taking care of one's environment and family needs to be accepted as an alternative that is not inferior to monasticism." Her real concern seems to be with the relative status of monastic and lay practice. She assumes that lay practice is female and monastic practice is male, and understands what she perceives as the lower status of lay practice as the result of the devaluation of anything that is primarily done by women in a sexist society. This is a standard feminist analysis of the status differential between male and female work within patriarchies, and I agree with the analysis. However I do not understand how lay practice can be considered female and monastic practice male, especially in this country at this time. This is an unspoken assumption in Ms. Gross' article, and she presents no information or argument to support it. In my experience both men and women are both monks and lay practitioners (and teachers) in this country.
Beyond that, why should we be concerned with the relative prestige of monks and lay practitioners at all? Does a seat closer to the altar bring us closer to realization? What was Buddha's status when he realized himself? In discussing this, Rita Gross mentions neither responsibility nor priorities, which seem central to the difference between monks and lay practitioners. Monks put aside the responsibilities and security of family and career and make their first priority practice and their first responsibility the good of the dharma and sangha. Lay practitioners put worldly priorities and responsibilities first and pursue theIr practice within that context. If some people believe monastic practice has more status than lay practice perhaps it is because they think it involves a higher level of commitment.
Personally, I find that the things which stand in the way of my practice are internal. I am grateful for the opportunities for lay practice in this country, including endless sesshins and retreats, lay lineages like Aitken Roshi's, and the seriousness with which my practice has been taken by my own teacher and others.

Partner-Nation Participants Visit USS New York
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Story Number: NNS140810-02Release Date: 8/10/2014 9:11:00 AM
By Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Andre N. McIntyre, U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet Public Affairs
MAYPORT, Fla. (NNS) -- Members of partner navies visited USS New York (LPD 21) Aug. 7, 8 and 9, on Naval Station Mayport while participating in PANAMAX 2014, an exercise aimed at developing strong working relationships between multinational forces to ensure the defense of the Panama Canal.
The exercise, which is scheduled to run through Aug. 15, includes participants from 15 nations: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and the United States.
Many of participants had never been aboard a U.S. Navy warship, let alone an amphibious transport dock ship.
"I like the fact that the ship was built in remembrance of those who died on 9-11," said Capt. Dennis Azmitia of the El Salvadoran navy, who is serving as an operations officer for the exercise. "There is great honor to serve on this ship."
Azmitia said serving alongside Americans is a privilege because of their moral conviction.
"I admire U.S. armed forces," he said. "There is always a reason for what you do."
Capt. Marcela Vergara of Chile, who is serving in the legal cell for the exercise, said she was amazed to see that USS New York was built with steel from the original World Trade Center in New York City.
"Who would have ever thought to make a memorial out of a warship to remember those who lost (their lives)," Vergara said. "This has truly been the best part of the visit. The U.S. Navy has been very hospitable to us by opening their arms and allowing us to feel at home even though we are far away from our loved ones."
U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command, the exercise host, supports U.S. Southern Command's joint and combined military operations by employing maritime forces in cooperative maritime security operations in order to maintain access, enhance interoperability and build enduring partnerships in order to enhance regional security and promote peace, stability, and prosperity in the Caribbean, Central and South American regions.

I believe this is the "summer" compound portion of the tire. These tires have done their duty after 64,000 miles and still had a ways to go to get down to the tread depth indicator bars...except where the bulges started to form! Overall, Toyo has lost another customer. I've been a Michelin buyer until tough times led me to consider Toyo and General for our other car, I seem to have been dealt yet another lesson learned on "you get what you pay for". It's back to Michelin for me and I truly hope that the Toyo Versado LX tire has not contributed to any deaths.

I had very high hopes after my experience with Toyo Eclipses on my Corolla. Unfortunately my experience with the Versado LX has not been as positive. As soon as I drove away from the shop the first time I was disappointed by the level of road noise. It wasn't terrible but it also was not the silky smoothness of the Eclipses. As the Versados were supposed to be a luxury touring tire I expected better. Not long after I bought them I began to noticed that there was vibration when I reached about 100kph. I assumed it was a balancing issue so I had them re-balanced. Some improvement but it didn't last. Had the balancing done again with the same lackluster result. The OK Tire I bought these from then checked my front end and claimed I had some issues with a control arm and bushing. Not convinced I went to my mechanic and he found nothing wrong but he told me one of the tires was out of round! NOT impressed with the OK Tire for lying about this. At this point I had too many kms on the tire and I didn't feel like fighting with OK over replacing the tire. Over time the vibration issue went away as I wore the tires in. For handling and tread wear these tires are quite good and mileage is comparable to the previous Michelin's. They are also very smooth and comfortable until I hit the highway and feel the effect of that out of round tire. In wet weather I have no slippage but the same cannot be said for driving in snow or slush. My van is quite heavy and wide and I don't normally bother with snow tires as a result. But these Versado's are forcing me to reconsider because while the first winter was not bad, this winter I have had plenty of traction problems and even slid into the ditch in slushy snow. Overall I would recommend these tires despite the early issue I had with them which I doubt reflects the tires in general. But I would not use them in the winter unless you live in an area with mild winters.

Open Gov
Programmers seeking to use government data will be aided by APIs that agencies are releasing under the Digital Government Strategy. (Stock image)
The White House's Digital Government Strategy calls on federal agencies to roll out two application programming interfaces (APIs) that make high-value data and content available to the masses by May 23, the strategy's one-year milestone.
But several agencies made sure not to wait until the last minute to release their tools for sharing content and data between communities and applications, and some of the government's best examples of API development were on display during a May 15 mobile development panel discussion at the FOSE trade show.
For example, the Census Bureau's open-data API -- which General Services Administration Senior API Strategist Gray Brooks called the best API rollout of the past year -- makes key demographic, socioeconomic and housing data easily accessible to the public and developers, allowing them to create a slew of mobile applications with the data.
The bureau's API includes statistics on population, sex, age, race, household relationship, and homeowner or renter status down to geographic blocks, and the information available goes back to the 1990 census, meaning three decades of data can now be compared.
Developers can create applications with those datasets that could, for instance, highlight commuting patterns by jurisdiction or provide local governments with a snapshot of an area's socioeconomic diversity. And since it was unveiled in July 2012, the API been a massive success for the Census Bureau, with 180 million calls to date, 2,600 developer keys distributed and a thriving online community of more than 800 developers who share an open dialogue with one another and the agency.
"We have high-value datasets with thousands of data items, but the expectation of users is changing and a link is not good enough anymore, so we've changed by linking databases together through APIs," said Stephen Buckner, assistant director of communications at the Census Bureau.
Buckner said the bureau makes use of the DataWeb at the center of its organization, which stores a variety of datasets along with metadata on which individual services the calls for data are made against. Everything the agency produces must be downloadable, sharable, printable and embeddable, and the open-data API -- often coupled with other tools -- increases traffic to the Census Bureau's portals through increased dissemination of information. Whenever the API is embedded elsewhere, Buckner said, the bureau gets more referrals.
The effort sounds like a massive undertaking, especially considering the enormity of the information the bureau collects about each U.S. citizen, yet Buckner said teamwork between the bureau's IT and communications staffs expedited and improved the open-data API.
The bureau's API is one of many in the federal space that highlight the growing importance of APIs in the Digital Age. Gone are the days when the public's only option for requesting public information was to line up at the courthouse, and the PDF era is slowly fading. Now data is available with a few well-crafted developer keystrokes.
And those APIs, the panelists said, are getting better and being used for more and more applications. "The rich wealth of information maintained by the federal government is a national asset with tremendous potential value to the public, entrepreneurs and to our own government programs," Brooks said. "We have vast ore reserves and mineral deposits in the tremendous amount of uncapped data we have that can power a mobile economy. It can power the user experience for every citizen living their lives."

Uses for leftover prime rib?
OK, I cooked too much beef, I know. We had a prime rib at Elery's, and we also had stromboli and ravioli, salad, bread, vegetables, dessert, way too much food. The end result was quite a lot of leftover prime rib.
I have about a dozen "steaks", cut about 1/2 inch thick and already cooked to medium/medium well. I've thought of making chili like doucanoe, or stirfry some with broccoli, or make a pot pie.
Any other ideas on how to use up leftover prime rib? It's already too well done for my tastes, so I'm gonna have to put it IN something, I guess.
Of course, if all else fails, Cooper is loving it, but it seems a shame to give him the whole thing...
Annie, you know that I don't like leftovers. Especially recooked into something else. So the last thing I would do with left over prime rib is to turn it into chili or soup.
Too bad the PR wasn't cooked to rare the way that you normally cook your beef. Then i would have suggested giving each slice a quick grill over high heat. Just enough to warm through without over cooking past medium rare.
It is too bad the slices were all precut. I would have got out my big slicer and shaved the rare beef and made beef dip sandwiches.
At the restaurant, we used to use up leftover prime rib in sandwiches...A steak, grilled on a hot grill just to put char marks on it and heat it through, topped with melted Swiss cheese, grilled onions & mushrooms, and served open faced on a good, chewy bread. Or, thinly slice the meat and make French Dip sandwiches. You could freeze the beef for later use in both of these preparations.
Roast beef hash...yum....also can be made quite well using frozen, precooked beef. Next time you have guests for brunch, that'll wow them.
Beef & Gravy on toast or noodles. Quick-made Burgundy beef, using gravy laced with red wine, sauteed mushrooms and cubes of prime rib.
Beef pot pies...individually, they freeze quite well for use some evening when you just don't really want to cook.
Ann, my first thought was that I really screwed up when I sliced that whole piece of meat. Sigh.
I would have done it much more rare, but Elery's daughter informed the room at large that she would gag if she had to see blood running on anyone's plate, so Elery told me to leave it in a bit longer. That's probably why we have leftovers, it was too well done for some of us, and not well done enough for others, even the very center was only medium rare.
If the slices were rare I could have reheated them carefully in hot broth and been OK with it, but instead I have a couple of pounds of already overcooked beef.
Do you think I could turn it into a passable strogonoff and send it out to David and Amanda? Dave likes beef really well done...
Then again, maybe I could just send the steaks out there and let Amanda give them a quick sear in a hot pan, I wonder how tough they would get?
You could maybe do a stir fry beef & broccoli and add the strips of cooked beef just at the end to warm them.
Beef stew would be good....again, adding the already cooked beef at the end.
Tim likes to slice the cooked beef very thin, fry a bit in butter and make a steak sandwich. (But he can get away with that because he has the metabolism of a hummingbird.)
Bumblebeez, why would you bother covering or freezing, and saving food that you are going to throw out? Maybe I misunderstood ....
Even on sale the PR was expensive and I plan to use as much of the leftovers as possible. I think Vegetable Beef Soup would be another good option.
Bumblebeez, Since I don't have an Amanda to give it to, I would either give it to my neighbour who prefers his beef more well done than we do, and takes leftovers to work for his lunch, or I would toss it.
If I froze it, it would still be there until the next time I cleaned out my freezer. I never freeze cooked meats. I just do not care for leftovers with a few exceptions.
I'm not sure how I can slice the steak very thinly, since it's already sliced, unless I cut it into strips, but I'll bet David would like a steak sandwich, maybe with some onions and mushrooms and a ton of cheese, that's a good idea. So is hash, thanks Rachelellen, I might even get Elery to eat that with eggs for breakfast.
I don't mind leftovers at all, but I really like beef rare, I'm not a fan of well done beef and I don't put wine in anything, I just cannot stand the taste of the stuff no matter how I try.
Cost aside, I cannot in good conscience toss it out. I know the animal it came from was raised to be dinner, but it's just too wasteful to not use it and I was raised that nothing is killed unless you intend to eat it, so SOMEONE is going to eat that beef, LOL.
As I said, if nothing else, Cooper will be very, very happy. He's not at all shy about eating leftover prime rib!
We love making philly cheese steaks from leftover prime rib. onions, peppers, oozy melted cheese and some steak seasoning...mmmm.. Sooo good, especially on home made sub rolls.. I freeze each steak individually, and just take out one every now and then to use for the PCSS....
I have a serious amount of prime rib left over...It has been gently warmed for a couple of lunches, sliced cold and dipped in horsey sauce for snackies...on an occasion when no "dinner was planned" and there is enough for my lunch tomorrow with....perhaps an impromptu sauce of some sort.
No way in hell would I toss it out even if over cooked. It might be ground up for a sandwich spread or for a roast beef hash, or just warmed in an aujus....but I sure wouldn't toss it!!
Annie, I like steaks and this sort of meat very rare too. My first thought was steak sandwiches but I like your stroganoff idea too. For the stroganoff I'd cut the outsides off all the slices and make a nice beef broth from them for the base. Then I'd do like I'd do for the steak sandwiches too and slice them quite thin as much against the grain on the slices as I could and at an angle like you'd do flank steak, to get a wider slice. With either dish you'd put the meat in at the last minute, like everyone else said, just to heat. For David, you could put it in a minute more. Smiles. For the steak sandwiches, toss them in the pan after the onions and peppers are ready. Ground as a spread is good too. A bit of mayo hides a lot of sins and since you like that jezebel stuff [ don't like horseradish at all..lol], you might like a bit of horseradish in the spread. I've ground up overdone meats in the food processor and made them into pretty tasty spreads. Not rare meat, but, pretty good. Good luck. I agree Cooper is a wonderful, gorgeous dog but...lol.
More ideas.
Cut into thin narrow strips, marinate, and use in a stirfry. The thin pieces won't be so chewy.
Cut and marinate similarly, and dry into jerky.
Pulverize in food processor and make a nice beef stock.
Chop and incorporate into Philly steak sandwiches.
Use in a tomato meat sauce.
In general, applications where the meat is chopped, diced, or minced should be okay even for somewhat overdone meat.
Annie, I know what you mean about overcooked beef. Blech. I had noting but bones left from mine, so those became the deviled bones. Nice but not sure I would do them again.
What about a pot of RiverRats chili with beans of course?
Lyra, Alpo. Thanks for the early nmorning laugh.
Annie - I have cut leftover prime rib into chunks and put them in vegetable soup, making it vegetable "beef" soup and used beef broth as the base. Include some tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes along with whatever your other favorites are for that kind of soup. It's always tasty and has never offended anyone who ate it. Freezes well too.
Peppi, like you I'm grinning, thinking Alpo and I haven't even had breakfast, thanks, Michael/Lyra. I think Cooper and Dolly would get along great, they think alike: Yeah, prime rib for the dog, I'm a good dog, see how cute, give it to me! Maybe they'd invite Dylan for lunch too.
Seagrass, a wintger vegetable type of soup might be just the ticket for this weekend, Mother is coming over on Friday so I can send her pictures in to be developed, I really shouldn't have gotten her a digital camera. She could take home leftovers. Yeah, I like that idea a LOT.
coconut, I think that steak sandwich idea is a very good one, and both the kids like steak too, so with just cheese for them, mushrooms and onions for Amanda and Dave, that would sure get rid of some of it. I've never ground up cooked beef, now there's an "Alpo" thought, LOLOLOL.
Some chili, some shepherd's pie (which Ashley just loves), steak sandwiches, john's stir-fry and Mother's Soup, that might make some room in my freezer, thanks!
It never dawned on me to marinate cooked steak, though, I'm assuming it's strictly for flavor and doesn't affect the texture much after the meat is cooked?
Feel your pain Annie. We have family who can't stand to see even med. rare meat on our plates. They are also very vocal about it! We just don't even make med rare meat when these members are at our house, just dont even want to deal with it! When they are talking this way I even get to the point of not liking the meat as rare.
We sliced our left over prime rib very thin and served on crossiants.
Putting the left over meat into another cooked dish sounds ok, but I would at the meat at the very end of the cooking process.
Copper is such a good dog, he really does deserve the best this holiday season!
I just had this for lunch, and didn't find it suffered from being made with the med+ end pieces from my prime rib. Highly recommended.
Steak and Braised Onions under a Parmesan Crust
The Palm Restaurant Cookbook
1T butter
1T olive oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
3 canned peeled plum tomatoes, seeded and coursely chopped
2t flour
1 cup beef broth
8 oz cooked beef, diced 1/2"
Pinch ground nutmeg
1T minced parsley
1 clove minced garlic
3/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
2T grated Parm Regg
1T melted butter
Saute onions in oil and butter over med-lo heat until very soft. Add tomatoes, cook one minute, add flour and stir for two minutes. Stir in stock, increase heat to med-hi. When it begins to simmer, add beef, S&P, nutmeg, parsley and garlic. Cook until thickened, about five minutes.
Transfer to gratin dish and smooth top. Mix butter, cheese and bread crumbs then top the meat mixture. Broil to brown.
Trudy, it's just kind of annoying to me, I don't wrinkle up my nose and tell others how they are wasting perfectly good beef if they want it well done, so I think they should just shut up and let everyone else eat beef the way they like it. Because one very vocal person "can't stand" the thought of rare beef, they expect everyone else to eat it the way they like it? Sigh. I did raise an eyebrow at her and tell her that it wasn't polite to "yuck my yum", but she insists that she can't help it, she would get sick to her stomach if she even had to see someone else eating rare beef. Whatever. She'd better not come to MY house for steak, that's all I can say!
If I went somewhere and they only had well done prime rib and a zillion other things, I'd just shut up and eat the zillion other things, sheesh.
Ah well, to each their own, I suppose. Elery doesn't even LIKE beef. he likes it more after he's fixed fence a while, he now eats beef simply for revenge, LOL.
FOAS, that looks really, really good. I'll run it past Cooper and see what he thinks. (grin) Just kidding, but it does look really good, I'll add that to the rotation. Heck, I might have to cook more beef, just for the leftovers!
No way in heck I would toss it. Lots of options for well done beef, especially prime.
Philly cheese steak is a fabulous option or cut it in really thin strips and serve as shredded beef on a bun.
We really like this recipe for leftover beef. I serve with fried rice and steamed broccoli.

"I never cook a prime rib or steaks if I know that my guests like their beef medium or well done." ?Why not Ann?
Rob, certain cuts of beef are tender when cooked rare/medium rare and toughen up when over cooked. Such as Prime Rib, Beef Tenderloin, Rib Eye and Strip Loin roasts/steaks. Other cuts are tough when cooked rare/medium rare but melt in the mouth tender when cooked for a long time. Such as Briskets, Round, Chuck, etc. These cuts are best as pot roasts.
So it is a shame to take an expensive roast like a prime rib and roast it to medium or well done.
If I know that my guests do not like their beef cooked rare or medium rare than I'll plan something else for dinner. Something I know our guests will enjoy.
After all we do want our guests to feel special don't we?
Thankfully there are so many other choices besides roast beef.
I've often wondered if it's possible to be a true steak lover who prefers them cooked past medium. It just doesn't seem right to me. While I readily acknowledge there may well be some such folk out there, I have to admit I'd cringe to lay out good money on premium beef for such company.
That said, I think the "medium" folks shouldn't be shunned from the club. As long as they're ok with a happy pink throughout they're ok in my book ;-)
Related - A week or so ago I noticed this commentary in "The Palm Restaurant Cookbook" which I've often referenced, as recently as today:
"Palm executive chef Tony Tammero believes rib eye should always be served medium, rather than medium rare. Even the best rib eye, he notes, has a tendency to be stringy and tough when undercooked. This is the only cut of meat that gets more tender if you cook it a little longer than medium rare."
I don't think he's talking about pot roast here, but it might help explain why I've never enjoyed a rib eye at a "top" steakhouse!
I would use it for a Thai beef salad, which calls for thin strips of cooked beef. I don't have a recipe for it here, but I linked to one below. For some reason, I remember having lemongrass in it, but I guess that's not necessary. Anyway, it is a cold dish and therefore will not require additional cooking. Lime juice, fish sauce, and cilantro are essential ingredients, and I use more cilantro than mint in this.
Here is a link that might be useful: Thai Beef Salad
I didn't think earlier, but this is an excellent dish for using up cooked meats. It calls for beef or lamb, but I have made it with roast pork or chicken as well and it is delicious.
Lamb or Beef Jhal Fraizi
-from, "Foolproof Indian Cooking," by Madhur Jaffrey-with slight changes and notes of my own.
350 g (12 oz) cooked, boneless roast lamb or beef
3 T olive oil
1/4 t cumin seeds
1/4 t brown mustard seeds**
8 fenugreek seeds***
100 g (1 medium) green bell pepper, cut into strips.
1-2 hot green chilies (such as serranos), cut into long, thin slivers. (****Ms. Jaffrey says not to remove the seeds, but if you've a tender mouth, I would scrape the seeds & pith out to cool the dish down.)
150 g (1 medium) onion, cut into half rings, similar in size to the peppers.
1 t Worcestershire sauce
1 t ground cumin
1 t ground coriander
1/4 t ground turmeric
3/4 t salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Julienne the cooked meats in 1/4 to 1/2 inch strips.
Heat the oil over a medium high heat until quite hot, then add the cumin, mustard and fenugreek seeds. The mustard seeds will begin to pop, when they do, add the bell pepper, onion, and chilies. Stir fry until the onions & peppers are wilted, and perhaps beginning to brown a bit (but not much) and add the meat and other seasonings. Heat through.
This is very good with some plain rice and a side of plain yogurt or a yogurt raita of some kind as a cooling foil to the spiciness of the dish.
A simple raita can be made by mixing half a cup of plain yogurt with a couple of tablespoons of grated, squeezed (to remove excess liquid) cucumber and a teaspoon or so of minced mint or cilantro, adding a bit of salt if you like.
**Plain, yellow mustard seeds will work as well, if you've got some on hand already and don't want to search out and buy brown just for this recipe.
***It doesn't sound like much, but fenugreek is quite potent, and the flavor is distinct. Fenugreek also keeps a long, long time, much longer than most spices. There really isn't anything I can think of that would be similar, but if you need to do without it, something slightly sweet but pungent would work--maybe some minced cilantro or mint, added at the last minute.
I am a true steak eater, but I LOVE beef anyway that it is cooked; I'm jealous of Annie because I would probably take all that steak and caramelize it in a pan with lots of butter and do nothing else. I can eat it raw and enjoy it just as well, but in any fine steakhouse that I know of they will not serve you a beautifully, aged piece of steak well done.
Ann, we had prime rib because that's what Elery wanted me to cook, it wasn't my choice. Truthfully, since we had six kids under the age of 8, I was leaning toward an all Italian kind of pasta meal, with stromboli, lasagna, ravioli, etc. But we did pizza last year and his son and DIL came with the three boys from California and his daughter drove up from Ohio and so he wanted a "centerpiece" kind of dish. Prime rib it was, as we both know that it will be years before all his kids and all his grandkids are together in one place again.
Sharon, that orange beef sounds really good, I'd love it, I think. Elery would really like Rachelellen's spicy Indian food too, although I'd definitely have to calm that down and I think we'd both like Lars' Thai salad.
So many delicious options, it makes me glad I grow beef, I nearly always have SOMETHING left over!
