It's that time of the year again, the time when you find unlimited countdowns and the "best of" for the year. Why not have a best of Med School Hell? I'll go ahead and list the most well-received and/or controversial posts of 2007 with a bit of commentary.
If you missed anything from 2007 and are too lazy to click on the Archives link, here ya go. Let's start with the obvious.
January was kind of a dry month. There were only two posts that graced the binary digits of the MSH database this month. I was probably still recovering from my New Year's eve hangover, but the best post of the month has to be the one I wrote about my vascular surgery attending. Yes, vascular surgery still sucks.
Ahh, the month of love. February of 2007 was also the month I scrapped the lame Blogger blog and migrated to my domain. Activity picked up this month, and here are some of the highlights:
- Five Ways to Slack Off and Still Do Well In Medical School
- Pharmaceutical Marketing is Good and Here's Why
- Five Things I Learned From Medical School
March is the month that topped the post count for any month in 2007 at MSH. I might have been on too much coffee at the time or not playing WoW as much — I honestly don't remember.
- Percent Change of U.S. Medical School Graduates Filling Residency Positions in Various Specialties
- Five First Year Mistakes To Avoid
- Quotes From Physicians That Make You Go Hmm…
- Why It's Not A Sign Of Weakness
April produced a few winners, and maybe a few losers as well. I had a blast with Fun With Numbers. The real winner of the month is probably 101 Things You Wish You Knew Before Starting Medical School.
- Ten Reasons Why Residency Is Prison
- Fun With Numbers
- 101 Things You Wish You Knew Before Starting Medical School
Moving right along into May, we started to see a greater frequency of guest posts.
- A Primer for Applying
- What People With a Net Worth of $5M+ Do That Other People Don't
- Medical School Requirements
- When Did I Realize Medicine Wasn't For Me?
Post frequency dropped a bit in June, probably due to more time spent doing outdoor activities. At least a single decent post was produced:
Guest posts rule the roost during this month:
Free pharma lunches and student loan debt is among us.
September was kind of a "blah" month for MSH. A couple of posts are worth mentioning:
- Opportunity Costs & Why Lifestyle Specialties Are So Popular
- Is It Time To Rethink Your Pre-Med Major?
A single lonely post was written in October. Fortunately, it was mildly popular:
November was probably the crappiest month for new content at MSH. Let's try not to have too many months like that rolling into 2008.
Here we are, just about over the holiday hump and gearing up for a busy (or not so busy, depending on what you're doing) 2008. December started off with the first post in the 'Freedom' series of posts, Finding Freedom In The Middle of War — Mindset. I have more posts in this series lined up and ready to go for the new year. Another notable post is:
Onwards to 2008
Thanks to all who have contributed quality content and commented at MSH. I appreciate the fact that I have a nice base of regulars and look forward to new subscribers over the coming months.
Have a safe and happy new year. Oh, and try not to get too shitty.

Travis Ruiz is the Social Media Manager and Interactive Managing Editor for FOX21 News.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) is offering free cat adoptions this weekend.
This, after there was a decrease in adoptions during the Black Forest Fire, officials said. HSPPR also said that it always sees an increase in kittens during the summer. This could be because families are moving and often they can't take their cats with them. HSPPR said it takes in about 20 cats per day during the summer months.
At this time, the Humane Society said it has 100 cats available for adoption.
The free "cat sale" is from June 29-30 at the 610 Abbott Lane Location.
Official said they need people to adopt cats now more than ever so they can make more space for other cats. "An adoption sale like this allows us to manage our cat population," said President and CEO Jan McHugh-Smith. "If your family has been considering adopting a cat, this is a wonderful time because getting cats out of the shelter and into great homes will help us save so many more lives."
Who: Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region
What: Free Cat Adoptions to Close Adopt a Shelter Cat Month
When: Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30
Where: HSPPR, 610 Abbot Lane
Why: To find as many fantastic homes as possible for our kitties, and to make room for more homeless felines. To see who's available or to take the Meet Your Match quiz, visit www.hsppr.org/match.
Fine print: Offer only applies to cats at 610 Abbot Lane location. A $15 cat licensing fee may apply. A $50 refundable sterilization deposit required by law for non-sterilized cats. Offer valid Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30 only.
Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region is the largest nonprofit animal shelter in southern Colorado. Serving 25,000 animals last year, HSPPR provides adoption options, animal cruelty investigations, subsidized spays/neuters, a Trap-Neuter-Return program for feral cats, and other important services. HSPPR is a local, independent nonprofit that relies on donations from individuals and foundations to fund its many humane programs. For more information, visit www.hsppr.org.

The Bay County Sheriff's Office will place additional charges on the owner of the bulldogs that attacked seven year old Tyler Jett last week.
Jett was attacked by two 70 pound bulldogs outside his home on Kelly Court in Callaway. He passed away Sunday at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
BCSO Investigators Modany charged Edward Daniels, owner of the dogs, with manslaughter.
Daniels is currently in the Bay County Jail for tampering with evidence. Investigators believe Daniels washed his dogs after the attack on Jett to remove the child's blood from the dog's face and paws.
Daniels will face first appearance Tuesday for the charge of Manslaughter.

Mr. CULLEN offered a concurrent resolution that the two Houses of the General Assembly, at 3 o'clock P. M. to-morrow. January 22, 1867, by concurrent vote, proceed to the election of three Trustees of the Benevolent Institutions of the State, each to serve for the term of four years from the second day of April next.
Mr. STEIN. Would it not be well to have this election postponed till the committee appointed to investigate certain charges against some of these institutions shall report to the Senate? I understand such a committee was appointed last Friday.
Mr. CULLEN. There was no special committee appointed for that purpose. The question was simply given to a standing committee.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. A resolution of inquiry was referred to a standing committee.
Mr. HANNA. It was referred, in the nature of instructions, to the committee to investigate that question; so it stands be fore the Senate as if it was an original resolution.
Mr. CULLEN. I believe that is true, but I am not in favor of putting off this election until the committee report in reference to that matter. This question of postponement was discussed a day or two ago. We have made our nominations; the men are still here; we have got rid of the balance, and I want to get rid of these. There has been no charges made against any of the parties we propose to vote for, nor indeed can there be; and I hope, unless somebody presents something that we can see, hear or handle against these men, that this election will not be stopped. There have been some vague insinuations made in public print against some of the employees of the Insane Asylum, but that has nothing to do with the men we propose to elect. The law provides that these parties may be turned out if corruption is proved upon them, as I remarked the other day; and if the committee finds any thing tangible in this thing I will go as heartily with these gentlemen to censure them, and put them out of power if possible; but until then I am opposed to stop ping this election. As properly remarked by the Senator from Decatur, the other day, some of these men we know to be honorable and high-minded, and it is not fair that even insinuations should be thrown against good men. If the gentleman would make a charge himself, I might be willing to postpone; but upon these vague and uncertain charges I am opposed to putting off the election. As well might we stop and say we will not go into the election of Governor Morton, to the United States Senate, because, forsooth, some paper sees proper to villify his character. If any body has been guilty of the outrages spoken of let him be named; if there are any charges to be made on the floor of this Senate, let the man be designated. I am opposed to any further postponement, and I hope the Union men on this floor, unless some tangible charges are made, will proceed at once to prepare for the election of the men we have nominated.
Mr. HANNA. It seems to me that the Senator from Rush [Mr. Cullen] is a little over sensitive about these charges. It has been brought to the knowledge of the Senate that there is some ground for an investigation of the charges; and I won't say the gentleman's haste is indecent, but it seems to me that it is unnecessary, to say the least of it. There is no harm in having an investigation of this matter, indeed it is proper on our part to give these gentlemen an opportunity of having the charges investigated. If the charges are true, it is a question of importance to the people and the Senate. The fact that we delay the election is no charge, no insinuation against these gentlemen. Their term of office does not begin till the 2d of April, and this session lasts till the 11th or 12th of March. It seems to me it is in good taste, if there is any probability that there has been corruption manifested in any of these departments that we should have it investigated properly. The question is now in the hands of the gentlemen's friends, in a political sense - one of the regular committees of the Senate, composed of honorable gentlemen, and I have no doubt they will investigate this question fairly and properly. I can see no harm in having this election postponed.
Mr. STEIN. I wish to have it distinctly understood that in favoring a postponement of this election, I by no means lend myself to the charges made against any parties connected with any of these institutions. As I understand it, the charges do not refer to the parties put in nomination last Friday: they refer to other parties, but it occurs to me that since the action of last Friday has been taken back, the question stands open before the Senate, and as a reference of the supposed charges has been made, it would be well to postpone this election till the committee has reported.
Mr. CULLEN. If the charges are not made against any man we propose to page: 68[View Page 68] elect, what good will investigation do as far as they are concerned?
Mr. STEIN. I must confess that I am not disposed to press my objection very far; but it appears to me, as a matter of propriety, we had better delay this election till a report can be had from the investigating committee.
Mr. MILLIGAN. If it is in order I move to lay the concurrent resolution on the table for the present. I think it unnecessary to press this election at this time. I think we owe it to the friends of these Institutions and to ourselves that this committee should report before we proceed to the election.
The yeas and nays being demanded, ordered and taken on this motion, they resulted yeas 18, nays 16.
So the concurrent resolution was laid on the table.

A lot of new beers have been hitting the liquor store shelves lately, so let's take a quick look at them here.
I'll start with a pair of new beers from Magic Hat. I don't drink Magic Hat beers as often as I used to, but they are one of the breweries that I cut my beer geek teeth on.
First up is Pistil, which is only available in the 2012 Summer Scene Variety Pack.
The Pistil is kind of a unique beer, in that is brewed with dandelion leaves. It is also relatively light at 4.5 percent ABV. It is also light in color, but it has actually has a fair amount of flavors. I'm not sure if the dandelion leaves causes the slight sourness, but this is an easy drinking beer. I'd drink it again.
The other new summer seasonal is the Elder Betty. The Elder Betty is a wheat beer brewed with elderberry. I have a love/hate relationship with fruit beers. I love a really good fruit beer, but most fruit beers I taste tend to taste fake.
But, I liked the Elder Betty. The elderberry is sweet, but not cloyingly so. It went down extremely easy. It has a good, full-body and lightly carbonated. It comes in at 5.5 percent ABV. One of the better Magic Hat beers I've had in awhile.
Next up is the three beers in the LongShot mixed pack from Samuel Adams.
If you don't know, the LongShot is an annual homebrewing contest, and features three winning beers – two from fans and one from an employee. Typically, I enjoy two of the beers from the pack and find one lacking. This year was no different.
My favorite of the pack is the Five Crown Imperial Stout, brewed by Joe Fromanek. This 8.9 percent ABV imperial stout drinks like it is 8.9 percent, meaning there is a big alcohol warmth to it. That does not detract from the chocolate/coffee roasted notes, and relatively creamy body. There is just a little hop bitterness to balance this all out. A very solid stout.
I also really enjoyed the A Dark Night in Munich, a Munich dunkel lager created by Corey Martin. This tasted exactly what I would like from the style, a little bready doughiness, medium body, full-bodied with just a hint of hops. I could drink this often.
The only beer from the pack that I did not enjoy was Derf's Secret Alt, created by Samuel Adams Fred Hessler. This is a sticke alt, coming in at a hefty 9.3 percent ABV. Maybe this beer would benefit from aging, but I found it to be a sweet, boozy mess of a beer. I have a second bottle that I'm going to lay down for awhile to see if things improve.
Next up is the Bottleworks 13th Anniversary Ale. Bottleworks is a well-regarded beer store in Seattle, and each year they work with a different brewery to create an anniversary beer. This year, the beer was brewed by Stone Brewing Company.
This porter features 13 hops and 13 malts and comes in at, you guessed it, 11.4 percent ABV (it was supposed to be 13 percent ABV, but it didn't quite reach that level.)
I expected this to be an extremely hopped porter – almost expected a black India pale ale – but the malts in the beer take as much of a stage on your taste-buds as the hops.
There are plenty of hops – you will taste some piney and citrusy hops – but the roasted malts, with slight tastes of caramel – balance it out nicely. It is also very smooth and way too drinkable for such a big beer. It is absolutely phenomenal.
The final beer I'm taking a look at this week is the Cottrell Brewing Company's Perry's Revenge Ale.
I've liked everything I've tried from Cottrell, finding them to be very good examples of the particular styles. Perry's Revenge Ale is no different. This 8.5 percent wee heavy ale is spot on for the style. Creamy, malty with hints of dark fruit coming through. It's a slow sipper of a beer, perfect to enjoy on these still cool nights.
Now go buy some of these beers and let me know what you think.

By Sharmine Narwani
Almost three years after the Arab Spring began its region-wide sweep – ostensibly in search of democratic change – scant attention has been paid to one of its most dangerous consequences: the fraying of borders.
Weapons, militias, foreign Special Forces, smugglers, gangs and crooks now regularly traverse borders from the Levant to the Maghreb to the Persian Gulf. And these territorial infractions across Yemen, Libya, Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and other states will inhibit prospects for "democracy" more than any single development in the region.
The logic? Very simply, this: If you don't have territorial integrity, you don't have a "state." If you don't have a state, you cannot build institutions. If you don't have institutions, you will never have representative government.
The foreign geniuses who thought they could invade and "regime-change" their way to "democracy" with first Iraq and Afghanistan, then Libya and Syria, forgot the foundational elements of a nation-state – namely, sovereignty and territorial integrity. When you cross a border uninvited and undermine a central government, you rip at the seams of the state itself.
And so we call them "failed states" sometimes, pretending that these entities still retain some semblance of statehood for which parliaments and constitutions and armies can legitimately be assembled.
I chuckle at the attempts of Lebanese politicians to cobble together a new government while gunmen traipse across their borders, unimpeded, just a few miles away. I roll my eyes at the "elected" and "selected" Syrian external opposition – disembodied pashas who don't have a square-inch of land to call their own. And I cringe when "experts" reference democratic underpinnings in Libya, Tunisia and Iraq, where central authority is as evasive as border security.
"But you have no state," I want to say. (more…)

Food & Dining > Torero's Mexican Restaurant1207 Kildaire Farm Rd, Cary, NC | Directions
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 11am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 11pm
Incredible Value – Had lunch there yesterday. Great food and service and HUGE portions. Everyone at the table loved their food, and I like their salsa more than any other Mexican restaurant's.
Really aweful food – This can't be considered authentic Mexican food. Every dish seems to have the same thick coating of cheese and sauce. The tables are sticky and the wait staff acts like they are doing you a favor by refilling your drink. I noticed one server cleaned some tables with a dirty rag, emptied some trash then delivered some food to another table all without washing his hands. EWWW Bon Appetit! Not for me
Good food, lackadaisical service – The waiter was very abrupt. He did not introduce himself. He did not smile. Nor did he take the time to make us feel welcome. It was fairly uncomfortable. But, we allowed ourselves to look past that. Otherwise, their food was good. They provide complimentary chips and salsa as well. Their lunch menu is priced fairly attractively. You get a lot of lunch for your money. If you're looking for good food and put less value on polite and genuine service, then this is the place for you.
Keep up the good work! – My wife and I enjoyed the mariachi band , especially the one dollar margaritas! you guys are the best! keep up the good work! The service was nice as can be, it almost made me feel as if i was in Cancun, the owner welcomed us into their house , since we were first timers from California. He treated us with loyalty and respect. We liked the fact that kids eat free! Our children enjoyed the food and are oldest child had their birthday there with all its friend, we had a great time and we decided to make Toreros our mexican resturaunt.
Owners Own Son Is Rude To Customers!! – My wife and I recently visited this restaurant on October 16th, 2008, and believe me, we will NEVER return.
I couldn't believe the bad service we received. The person that greeted us was extremely rude to my wife from the very beginning. Not sure if he was having a bad day or what, but it was highly unnecessary!
Come to find out, it was the owners son!!! How can the owners son be rude to the customer?
In business, the best advertisement is word of mouth. Believe me when I state that Toreros Mexican Restaurant in Cary, NC located off of Kildare Farm Rd will get the worst advertisement ever!
Stay away from this restaurant. If the owners son is giving bad service, I can only imagine what everyone else will give.
Mexicanos no requeridos o deseados. – If you are mexican or hispanic please dont go to this restaurant..why? its funny but..if you are mexican they treat you like a bag of garbage...they talk in a nasty tone of voice, they dont even ask if the mexicano customer is ok, and also be very careful if you spend only $5 euros they charge you for $10 dollars. as if you dont have any money to pay the bill...but when they seee a BOLILLO OR Gringito...god has arrived on earth...I was there once and a white lady arrived the waitress told her " bienvenida amiga" for the non-spanish speakers " welcome my friend" and the lady told the waitress " NO amiga, customers, keep your distance..." THe waitress wants to clean the white customer's arse...MExicanos y Mexicanas, go to fiesta mexicana if you want to be treated like a bolillo....that restaurant is truly color blind.
Great Mexican Cuisine in Cary – I went here for my birthday with my family, which includes my husband and our two-year-old daughter. This is a very family-friendly place. There were at least four other families with young children in the restaurant when we were there. We went on a Saturday evening, and it was fairly full but not crowded. The restaurant is in a strip mall on Kildaire Farm Road. From the outside, it looks like a "joint," but inside, the ambiance is better than your average Mexican place. It's clean and there's a sports bar attached, so they have sports playing on a huge plasma TV on the wall. I didn't care about that, but if your hubby is giving you a hard time about going out for dinner, that is a good persuasion tool. The salsa here was delicious. In most Mexican places, the salsa is like tomato sauce--fairly bland and tasteless. This salsa was spiced perfectly and it wasn't too thick or overwhelmingly hot. The food, in general, was awesome. They have a large children's menu, which includes both Mexican options and traditional American items. The best part is that the prices were surprisingly low. For my husband, my daughter, and me, it was $35, including tip. I got a margarita, which was HUGE, for only $6. And unlike many places, they actually put rum in it. Also, my husband is a vegetarian, and there was a whole page of items for just vegetarians. He really enjoyed his meal, and he's not a big fan of Mexican food. Overall, this was a great dining experience. We will definitely go back.
great place! – this place is always great! one of my favorite restaraunts! some of the best mexican foor in cary!
Food is good. Customer service is slow and unfriendly unless you are Mexican. – Although my family was seated before two other groups (which were Mexican), Server waited on those tables choosing to ignore us. When we complained to the Manager, he just said Sarcastically "too bad." We haven't been back.
good food – i saw a guy with scars on his face he did the best job there could ever be it was a good resturant but out of all the times i went there the guy with scars on his face did the best job so its a good resturant and if u go there ask for the guy with scars on his face

Ed Shapiro made the time to help those around him
Date: May 7, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Slowing down wasn't Ed Shapiro's style.
Technically, he retired from his career with Isotoner, a women's glove company, in 1980. But Shapiro kept plugging. A founding member of Temple Beth Israel, he devoted much of his time to the temple and served as its president from 1988 to 1989 and, later, on the board. He drove fellow members to the temple when they couldn't drive themselves. He wrote the community newsletter for his homes at the Islander Club and, later, Plymouth Harbor, along with the Sarasota-Manatee chapter of the United Nations Association's newsletter. In between it all, he pursued his love of golf.
Adolph "Ed" Shapiro, of Plymouth Harbor and formerly of Longboat Key, died Tuesday, April 28. He was 93.
Born May 10, 1915, he grew up in Baltimore and worked while also attending the University of Maryland during the Great Depression — he lived at home with his parents to save money. Shapiro served in World War II and earned the Bronze Star.
He met his wife, Freida, over the Fourth of July weekend of 1941 and married her just five-and-a-half months later.
Shapiro got a job in sales after college and went on to pursue a career in marketing with Isotoner. In the 1960s, he convinced the company to take on a risky marketing plan to advertise the gloves on "The Today Show" and "The Tonight Show" two months before Christmas. The gloves sold out at department stores across the country. In 2007, Shapiro told The Longboat Observer that the day the gloves sold out was one of the best days of his life.
At the temple, Shapiro is remembered as a jokester who always wore a smile.
"He was a happy-go-lucky person," said longtime temple member Florence Katz. "That's why everybody loved him."
Shapiro is survived by his wife of 67 years, Freida; daughters, Nancy Fraser and Cindy Farlino; two granddaughters; and one step-granddaughter.
A celebration of life service was held Friday, May 1, at the temple. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be sent to Temple Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Road, Longboat Key, Fla. 34228; or the United Nations
Association, Sarasota-Manatee Chapter, P.O. Box 2427, Sarasota, Fla. 34230.

Bishop Soto, Chairman, Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church |
The Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church pursues the goal of making diversity and its implications more recognized and understood among church leaders—clergy, religious, and laity. This is urgently needed given the profound demographic shift that the Church is currently undergoing. Knowledge, attitudes, and skills that effectively foster unity in diversity must be nurtured among our leadership and the faithful in general. More | En Español |

The Beauty of Faith: Using Christian Art to Spread Good News Over 2,000 years, Christian art has expressed the truth of the Catholic Faith for generations of the faithful. Learn the language of art to make visible the mysteries of Scripture and traditions through paintings, sculpture, mosaics, stained glass, poetry, and sacred music. Discover art as a visual Gospel that can guide, nourish, and strengthen our daily witness to the Gospel today. Excerpt from Synodal Document of Pope Benedict XVI on the Word of God The value of culture for the life of humanity Saint John's proclamation that the Word became flesh reveals the inseparable bond between God's word and the human words by which he communicates with us. In this context the Synod Fathers considered the relationship between the word of God and culture. God does not reveal himself in the abstract, but by using languages, imagery and expressions that are bound to different cultures. This relationship has proved fruitful, as the history of the Church abundantly testifies. Today it is entering a new phase due to the spread of the Gospel and its taking root within different cultures, as well as more recent developments in the culture of the West. It calls in the first place for a recognition of the importance of culture as such for the life of every man and woman. The phenomenon of culture is, in its various aspects, an essential datum of human experience. "Man lives always according to a culture which is properly his, and which in turn creates among persons a bond which is properly theirs, one which determines the inter-human and social character of human existence".[354] More National and Regional Hispanic Catholic Ministry Organizational Initiatives: An Assessment |
The Mandate
The Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church assists the bishops in instilling the vision of Encuentro 2000 and Ecclesia in America throughout the Church by working collaboratively with all the committees of the Conference and with bishops and their dioceses to bring Catholics from various culturally diverse communities into a fuller participation in the faith, life, and evangelizing mission of the Church. The committee especially works to promote an awareness of cultural diversity within all the committees and offices of the USCCB.
This mandate includes the following responsibilities: Pastoral care of Hispanic Catholics, African American Catholics, Native American Catholics, Asian Catholics, African Catholics, Pacific Islander Catholics, Catholic migrants and refugees and people on the move.

Halloween is a great holiday. I've got a cabinet in the garage just packed with old costumes, and a box full of prosthetics like a half screw I can glue to my head making it look as if I've driven it right into my brain. Fun.
But Halloween is small taters compared to the Day of the Dead celebration in Mexico, held Nov. 1 and 2, a ritual that may date back as many as 3,000 years to a day when the Aztecs and the Mayans kept skulls as souvenirs of their battles, and offered prayer to the "Lady of the Dead."
Travel through Mexico in late October and you'll see stores filled with every sort of death-abilia - tiny mariachi bands of skeletons, sugar skulls that are ever so tasty, chocolate coffins.
Much of the best Day of the Dead celebrations are in the wonderful mountain town of Oaxaca.
Or, you can simply head for Ortega 120 in Redondo Beach any time of the year and surround yourself with a world of skulls - the Grateful Dead gone Mexican.
There are skeletons and skulls placed all around the restaurant, sitting on shelves, painted on walls, printed on the menu. Which is funny in a way - for this is one of the liveliest Mexican restaurants you'll ever go to.
Indeed, paired with Mucho Ultima in Manhattan Beach, it makes me wonder if the best Mexican food in Southern California isn't in East L.A., but rather in the South Bay. And in both cases, the goodness of the food is prefaced by the goodness of the margaritas - which in the case of Ortega 120 is a mix of Oro Tequila, Patron Citronge, Triple Sec and housemade citrus sour.
Order it by the pitcher and they bring it with a carafe of tequila they call "The Shut Up." It's for those who complain there isn't enough tequila in their margie. After you watch the carafe go into the juice, you know there's enough. You'll also know when you start dancing to the live music in the back room. Especially if you're dancing on the tables.
There's a note on the menu that explains that the cooking at Ortega 120 is drawn from the regional cuisines of Oaxaca and Mexico City. And it further explains, "You may note a French influence as the region was occupied by the French for many years ..."
But there's also a strong sense of fusion here, of New American cooking mixed with Nouvelle Mexican cooking in dishes-of-the-moment such as the brussels sprouts tossed with an achiote-flavored aioli, roasted pepitas and lime - an irresistible prep of an ingredient that's popped up on every modern menu in town.
Short ribs are ubiquitous throughout Southern California as well. And here, they're served slathered with a chile rub, with sauteed greens and a pozole/risotto mix scattered with cotija cheese. About the best side ever.
I could go on about the fusion that created the duck confit chilaquiles, the pan-fried trout stuffed with shrimp and blue crab, the baby back ribs in a mole sauce, the ahi poke-style yellowfin tuna in taco shells, and the Mexican-style banh mi sandwich, a Latino-Vietnamese fusion that speaks volumes about the melting pot we call home - char siu chicken flavored with chipotle chiles, with a cucumber tzatziki (yup, a Greek ingredient), watercress and pickled carrots and jalapenos.
(But then, what do you expect of a restaurant that offers a fried chicken Benidicto for brunch on weekends? The "120" in Ortega 120 could easily stand for the number of cuisines they draw upon, rather than the number of tequilas on the shelf.)
Not to sound like a broken record (as my mother used to put it), but you can do just fine at Ortega 120 eating nothing but bocadillos - appetizers.
The guacamole is exceptional, flavored with queso fresco, just for the pleasure of it. There's a queso fundido that's a classically big pile of melted cheese - a dish right out of our childhood memories - combining Oaxaca and asadero cheese with housemade chorizo, spinach and mushrooms. You eat it slathered on tortillas (made by a smiling lady near the front door), or just lick it off your fingers. It's a delicious mess of a dish.
I'm used to albondigas, the Mexican meatball, tasting like not much. But that's far from the case at Ortega, where the meatballs mix Angus beef with rice, sesame seeds, pickled onions, queso fresco and a fine sweet/spicy mole sauce. Bet you can't eat just one.
There's much more. But I should mention one of the current pleasures of regional Mexican cooking - the roasted street corn preparation in which the corn is coated with mayonnaise, cotija cheese and dried peppers. You know it's not the healthiest dish around. But you can't stop eating it. Thank goodness for Lipitor.
If you do want to play at being a bit less caloric, there's a fine Caesar (which was, after all, invented in Tijuana), which you can trick up with chicken, steak, shrimp or ahi. There's a snappy salad of jicama and mango, with the same four additions, should you want. And there's "El Cobb" - ditto the add-ons, along with a ranch dressing flavored with chipotle. Which was not how Bob Cobb made the original at the Brown Derby - and a good thing too; his version was never the best.
Should you want enchiladas, they have enchiladas, and lots of them. Try the model filled with chile braised short ribs ... nice. Or the one made with mole poblano ... also nice.
There's a plate of five tacos, with five different fillings. There's a Kobe burger topped with queso asadero, spicy mayo and chiles.
For dessert, there's flan, and my greatest regret is that I got only a single order. My table inhaled the flan - I got barely a sliver. Next time, I get a flan of my own. And I won't share - unless they grab some while I'm dancing on the table.

Recipe by Maureen E.
"This recipe has been a closely guarded family secret for over 20 years, we make them every Christmas and they're always a hit. I've decided they're too good not to share."
Watch video tips and tricks
5 pounds bulk Italian sausage
2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained and chopped
2 bunches green onion, chopped
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
Sweet and Sour Sauce
1 1/4 cups white sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups white vinegar
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup ketchup
soy sauce to taste
This is my recipe, so I didn't wat to rate it but I had to in order to post this comment. I made them last night and added a tablespoon of ginger puree to the meat mixture and it was delicious. I made just a half batch because there were only 6 of us and they were gone by 9pm!
I used crushed pineapple juice. Kids liked it but I was not impressed.
12 Ratings
OMG! Did I read that right...2 cups of vinegar??? The only way to make this edible was to wipe the sauce off the meatballs. Nope, will not make this again. Sorry!
Big hit EVERY TIME! I have ommitted the waterchestnuts only beacuse they were basically in the meatballs to give texture, as they dont give any real taste to the meatball...but thats just my opinion. But they are a huge hit every single time i have made them!
I only used 1 cup of vinegar, added a can of crushed pinapple in place of the juice, only 1 cup of sugar and added a can of diced tomatoes. Next time I will cut back on the ketchup as well.
Very good recipe! Very sweet, but I like that. Will make again, as my hubby loved it too.
We add some diced pineapple and diced green pepper to the sauce
This was really good. My husband is really picky and he said they were good...I would recommend this recipe.

Whisked from his comfortable hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.
©1937, 1951, 1966, 1978 George Allen and Unwin (Publishers) Ltd.; (P)1993 HarperCollins UK
"The Hobbit"
Listened to this in the car with the kids (8 & 13) & we all loved it. In this abridged version the story cracks along at a good pace & the narration by Martin Shaw is just right (it also has no singing which is a big plus!!).
"THE HOBBIT (no singing version!)"
I usually buy unabridged books but having skimmed most of the songs sections while reading The Hobbit (over the years) felt that I did not really want to listen to all the songs/rhymes etc. included in this book. I love The Hobbit and this recording was exciting and wonderful to listen to at bedtime or while travelling. None of the essence of the adventure is lost and I would really reccomend this book. My 14 year old son enjoyed it too.
"all good ;-)"
this is a book everyone should have hear, read and share with all the family.
Have a listern it will take you on a far away journey.
"An all time classic!"
This was a 'must read' book for my 10-year-old son, so we decided to listen to it instead. I'd forgotten how rich and engaging the story was. Great to revisit it again!
"Classic Book"
This book is action packed and much better than the lord of the rings book.This book tells the tale of Bilbo the hobbit adventure to claim back treasure from a dragon. In this book you will learn how bilbo got hold of the ring and meet gollum for the first time.If you have read or watched any of the films of LOTR you need to read or listen to this book.
"My favourite book"
It's hard to find anything wrong with this Audiobook. I couldn't stop listening to it. The narrator is also very talented as he effects voices for different monsters and people superbly. Good job!
Lord of the Rings.
When Thorin was dying and said that he wanted to die while at peace with Bilbo.
I have read the book several times, but thought it would be novel (pardon the pun) to listen to it, and having Martin Shaw as the narrator would be the icing on the cake. But after I had listened to it for a while, realised I had downloaded an abridged version. The book lost its appeal after that.
I would recommend this to a friend as it is an very interesting book and in my opinion better than the movie
Gandalf because he always comes in to save the day and he is confident but not arrogant
I thought his reading on the book was brilliant, each voice for each character were easy to distinguish between
I wouldn't say it moved me but I found the bit with the trolls very funny and interesting
I'm 42 and have always had a love of books and story's, so Audible is fantastic for me.
"Great book"
This is a lovely book and the voice of Martin Shaw just makes it come alive?
Try it you won't regret it.
"good old fashioned fantasty"
the hobbit is a fantasy story, but it is not an epic tale; its quite a simple story, but one you cant help but love. it is essentially a children's book, and is not as intense or dark as the lord of the rings, but it still draws you in as an adult. it offers up lighthearted humor with a fun and captivating story- and also there is Gollum to enjoy!
"A very enthused family of listeners"
My children and I enjoyed this very much and would recommend it. It is read by one person rather than multiple readers, but this was not a problem, rather the narrator was excellent.
"abridged does not mean cut in half"
I like the narrator and the story... it's just a shame that this book has been edited down 50% I wish I had noticed that this was the abridged version when buying :-( now I have to buy the regular copy just so I know everything that happens :-(
Do not buy this version buy the full version!
"Fantastic Story"
This is my first Audiobook, and I am currently on my fourth hour and I am absolutely loving it. I wish I could find another book that is as good as this one. I have looked around and can't seem to find a book that has a great adventure with diferent races like dwarfs etc,... I looked at the LOTR however when I listened to the sample that total put me off of Dramatised versions, the background music etc is terreble.
The Hobit is fantastic and I highly recommend it, it had a great adventure, many diferent races, and the nerrator just puts the cherry on the top.
"A thrilling tail brought beautifully to life"
Martin Shaw is perfectly cast as the narrator for this abridged version of The Hobbit. He reads with great characterisation, giving each their own voice and personality - no easy feat with such a large ensemble cast to portray! I love that Bilbo has a West Country inspired accent (by no means the full Wurzel) which reveals and speaks to his home-loving nature and gentleness while not at all seeming dumb.
Some may be disappointed that this is only an abridged version, but I can find to reason to fault it. Highly recommended, for the new listener to Tolkien's works, or for the seasoned fan looking to return to the Shire.
"Good book"
This audio book unfortunately doens't follow word by word of the book and that was a problem as my daughter needed to listen to the book and follow in the book for school.She struggles with her reading and cause High school doesn't give you long to read a book she can use her kiddle if available in audio. So she can listen and follow in the book. It didn't work.
Its about Hobits. Didn't listen to it my self.
Engaging, easy to list too.
Most properly
I wish audio books followed the novels word for word, that would be really good.
"A bit too abridged"
Knowing the written book very well, this abridged reading skips rather too much. All the detail of the original is lost.
But... on the otherhand for a first-time reader/listener it might work well to tell the tale an lead onto the written version or unabridged audible.
"Brilliantly narrated"
It is so refreshing to hear an excellently written book narrated so brilliantly. Martin Shaw does an excellent job. A must hear!
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Looking for a power supply that's cool, quiet and costs less to operate than traditional designs? With its independently-certified 80 Plus design, the Antec's EarthWatts EA430 will do all that and more. The circuitry is at least 80 percent efficient at all loads, so this energy-saving Earthwatts EA430 will save you money on your electrical bill. The 80mm low-noise fan cools the PSU quietly and helps keep your entire system chilled to perfection. And the built-in Active PFC makes the Earthwatts EA430 an ideal way to reduce electrical waste and protect the environment. Could this be your next power supply?
Filter Results |
More than enough powerPros: Typical Antec quality, still going strong after over 6 years. At its peak, powered a quad-core Phenom II and a GTS 250 plus multiple drives and other accessories without issue. Cons: Not modular, but not a reasonable expectation for the price range. Other Thoughts: I've had nothing but good experiences with the Earthwatts line over the years, this was the first of many happy purchases. Did you find this review helpful? |
No Problem after 4+ YearsPros: Although these are no longer available for purchase new, I thought I'd throw out my two cents since these can always be picked up second hand. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
QUIET AND STABLEPros: Quiet fan. Has worked great for 4 years. Works fine with my heavily overclocked E5200. Cons: None Other Thoughts: First one i got was a dud after a few months. It did not damage any other components when it died, and Newegg's RMA was very easy to work with. Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome PSPros: QUIET Cons: The 4-Pin ATX 12V is my issue. Wish it was a little longer since the PS is mounted on the bottom of my case and the 4-Pin ATX 12V connector on the motherboard is at the top of my case. It makes the distance but has to dodge underneath my graphics card near the expansion slots and is a little taught. I have the Antec 300 ATX Mid tower. Other Thoughts: NO issues, easy installation, reliable so far (7months), and plenty of connectors. Only thing was the length of the 4-Pin ATX 12V, but it still reaches fine and can't really complain about something that gets the job done. Everything else makes up for it anyway... Did you find this review helpful? |
DOA on arrivalPros: It looked very nice in the box. Cons: I just installed it and it does not work. I have to call Antec for an RMA and probably pay for shipping as well. Other Thoughts: My old power power supply went out about a month ago. I bought this new one and installed. The computer didn't work. I suspected the motherboard got hit at the same time the PSU did so I searched for a new motherboard and found the same model. Still didn't work. I borrowed an old power supply from a buddy and it worked. Kinda sucks I spent extra bucks on something I didn't need, but I just didn't suspect a new PSU to be bad. First time that has happened to me. I gotta call Antec (since I already sent in the rebate) and figure out how to RMA. Did you find this review helpful? |
not bad at allPros: very nice and quiet, does a wonderful job on an average system. had it for 2 years now and still chugging along just fine. Cons: nada Other Thoughts: if you're looking to get any of the newer video cards, keep in mind that most of them require minimum 450w Did you find this review helpful? |
430W is all you need... seriouslyPros: Contrary to all this hype from review sites, 430w is all the power you need. As long as its antec power. Cons: Not free Other Thoughts: This thing powers my rig which even at full load uses 320W max (according to kill-a-watt). Here it is: 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
perfect single vid card power supplyPros: The amp and volt tolorance on each of the rails are increadible! Just look at the specs and compare them to a good 256bit vid card min requirements. Cons: none Other Thoughts: perfect for older systems that need a kick Did you find this review helpful? |
UpdatePros: The metal box it came with prevents parts from falling out of it. But all power supplies are in a metal boxs but the metal box on other drives serves a different purpose. It protects WORKING parts in a PS. Cons: I have only had to rma 3 times or 4 times. Apparently you cant submit a review with zero eggs. Other Thoughts: I can't explain why I have such trouble with these. The case it had all the problems with has an interior temp of 30c almost always. One video card and 1394 card. I started with one drive plus a dvd burner and I added another drive. Not taxing stuff. Since then I added a couple of new drives with the enermax that replaced it( of course no problem with the enermax). I put the thing in a linux box about a year ago (amd xp2200/MSI KT3 Ultra 2/gig ram) and it has not been a problem but now I am having booting issues, some times it boots and sometimes it doesn't. I wonder it is not the culprit??? 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Most Reliable PSU I've OwnedPros: Everything about it. I've owned this for 3+ years and I never have had a problem with it. Runs my old Pentium D system fine with a junk 8500GT. Never ever gets hot, it's amazing. It's also 80+. Cons: I payed alot more that 70 bucks years ago..... Other Thoughts: This power supply will last you a very long time. If you want to hold on to a PC with plans of using it as a "whatever" computer down the road, definately buy this Did you find this review helpful? |

The Hawaiian monk seal is a species in crisis. There are currently fewer than 1,100 seals remaining and their numbers continue to decline by 4% per year. The challenges they face are numerous including shark predation, human disturbance and habituation, fishery interactions, habitat loss, entanglement in marine debris, infectious disease, and even intentional killings. If the current population trends aren't reversed, the population is expected to slip below 1,000 within the next few years.
Despite the many obstacles, there is hope. With focused protection and conservation efforts, the monk seal can be saved. Your support is urgently needed to help build the teams and programs that will save this very special species from extinction. Won't you consider making a financial contribution or a commitment of time to ensure that the Hawaiian monk seal is preserved for generations to come.

Interstates as a Subway Map
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012A really neat (and really enlightening) way to visualize the interstate system in the US.

The upcoming "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie hasn't even been cast yet, but you can already see what bondage-loving billionaire Christian Grey looks like. The University of Central Lancashire's Dr. Faye Skelton gathered descriptions from 12 female readers of the best-selling novel, then used e-fit software employed in police investigations to create the following black-and-white image, The Daily Mail reports.
The image was "inspired" by "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey's eyes, Brad Pitt's jawline, David Beckham's face shape and a young Val Kilmer's lips. "While we don't want to intrude on anyone's fantasies, based on a small sample of women, this is the image of Christian Grey they have in their heads when reading the novels," Skelton said, according to the Mail. The end result doesn't exactly have us racing down to our basement dungeon. How about you?

it'skrissie!d:) 2012/07/11 16:45:28Not+10I read the book, and let me just say this: I couldn't even finish it, the writing was so horrid. No real thought detail, the character's were a mess, and the fact that this writer couldn't even freaking come up with a real novel was just disgusting. A typical fan fic book. I don't even see why those are even acknowledged. I think the only real reason people are interested in it is the amount of sex that the book holds. And I am not hating on someone who is. My mom, for instants, is a huge romance novel fan. But this guy who wrote this book? Why is he getting such fame for his lousy writing skills? I mean, I'm serious. I was reading it and the writing is just horrid. It matched how I wrote at the age of twelve.

- Maya Zauberman 2012/07/13 17:33:03NotChristian Grey may be attractive physically, but his behaviour was not hot at all. If he had a problem and wanted to solve it, he should have gone to a therapist, not be in a relationship. The profile isn't the handsomest, BTW.
Ana- To say Ana has the intelligence of a plank of wood would be a humongous insult to a plank of wood. She walks into an interview, attracts the handsome boss, and yet is surprised when he calls again asking her for a date. Also, she forgets that if she is in an uncomfortable situation, she should leave the place (or tell the other person that they are making her uncomfortable). And we're supposed to believe she's intelligent; just goes to show that you can attain all the college degrees in the universe, and still be an idiot. - Eania 2012/07/12 22:28:07NotNot my type, unfortunately. I hope when casting that someone jawdropping will step in, because otherwise it's not going to be much fun.
- Anna 2012/07/12 20:28:40NotI never read the books, and I doubt they'd interest me much. This guy is attractive, but not really anything special. I could find a better looking guy at my grocery store's check out(really, there is one very handsome guy working there).

- Noobcake 2012/07/12 07:34:37Not+2To all the girls and women who read this crap: READ REAL BOOKS!
Or if you want to read poorly written smut, do so, but don't harp on about it like it's deep, thought provoking literature.
'The Fifty Shades trilogy was developed from a Twilight fan fiction originally titled Master of the Universe and published episodically on fan-fiction websites under the pen name "Snowqueens Icedragon".'
Twilight. Fan-fiction. If that isn't enough to bring you to your senses nothing will. -
+1I am so pleased! I browsed your profile - I hope you don't mind; I browse most people's - and it's obvious that you enjoy many great books and will have no trouble finding another one more worthy of your time. :)
Actually, I'd like to make a suggestion based on the novels and authors you mentioned. Have you read 'The Farseer Trilogy' by Robin Hobb? If you haven't, I cannot recommend it strongly enough! (Seriously.) There is a second trilogy to follow after it too called 'Tawny Man'. - Likeasong 2012/07/12 07:34:12
- sally 2012/07/12 06:34:46Not+1All I have to say is that the book wasn't even good. It kind of reminded me of Twilight for older women that have nothing else to do. It was so bad and it's like the writer couldn't come up with more descriptions. I swear I read the same lines as they were having sex over and over again it was nothing new. It was just easy read smut in my opinion.
Yes I'm aware I might be too young to be reading this type of novel but with writing so bad who cares? It sucked and I couldn't even finish it. -
I know right, I read 14 bits of it and it's terrible. Not really that much of a turn on and I've read certain bits of other romance novels that were VERY intense and descriptive and intresting,
And this is coming from a 14 yr old. Terrible book. Did u read that "inner goddess" crap -
Oh my god I almost wanted to bang my head on the wall, it was terrible. She was pretty stupid and I hated her as much as Bella.
I couldn't even get past three pages of twilight, gosh it was SO boring. I fell asleep.Literally. Terriblle writing, I write better than that.

- ellomotto 2012/07/12 04:02:15Not+1the books are utter crap and quite frankly I have no idea why this book get and the upcomming movie is getting so much hype. And I've only ever read the first half of the first book because I couldn't even make it through the entire book, so when I say the series is crap I'm just assuming that the other two books are equally bad. Am I right?

Idiot utile lenine
Lawd, who is this man! I know he played Columbus, but is he worth all the current attention? Just go away, Gerard.
This is why conservo-media needs to stop fawning over B list celebrities just because they occasionally act in a way that promotes the talking point de jure.
This guys been there 5 minutes and already telling them their business.
We thought they were BFF!!!
Puty: Here´s your passport comrade. Remember, I am god around these parts.G.D.: Ok, got it...um, comrade-god.
That´s why people love French whores...they´ll do ANYTHING!
Ah, the price he paid for that Russian passport is now made public. Tid-for-Tat. Putin now owns Depardieu´s tongue.
As a theatre artist, Depardieu has no problem whatsoever ferreting out which side of the bread the butter is on
Maybe next up Pootie could get Jerry Lewis to sign up for Russian citizen, and do some of his craaaazy acts!
Russian citizenship comes with a price. I guess Vlad called him to do a Penn or Clooney or (insert name) useless hollywood idiot mouthing off act.

On accessories jewelry clothes toys for the most part and again these -- are really about tax so that's where I would focus.
Your shopping efforts for those two days that tick tick tick that's you have to.
So -- we eat you mean you touched on Cyber Monday right so we know those guys are saying look stay at home in your -- -- -- -- -- output of the stores.

Horses: You will be riding one of Gina's beautiful Black Canadian Horses. The Canadian Horse is a little known national treasure of Canada. This hardy breed descended from horses originally sent to the "New World" by King Louis XIV of France in the late 1600's. These Norman and Breton horses were felt to be of Arab, Andalusian and Barb ancestry – traits of which can still be recognized in the Canadian Horse today. For hundreds of years, the French horses bred with little influence from outside breeds. They eventually developed into their own distinct breed - the Canadian Horse or Cheval Canadien. Because they evolved under the adverse conditions of harsh weather, scarce food, and hard work, the Canadian Horse remains the sturdiest and most acclimatized horse in Canada today. They are tough, strong horses, tolerant of inclement weather conditions, and are extremely "easy keepers". Because of these traits, the Canadian Horse is often referred to as "The Little Iron Horse". Tack: English Tack is available if you prefer - but is limited in numbers so please request in advance. Riding Level:
Ride approx. 4 hours per day in different areas of this beautiful countryside. Visiting wonderful ranches, riding along breathtaking lakes and into wild territory. We ride up to 20 miles a day with walks, trots and canters, as well as some gallops for the most advanced riders.
The average temperatures in April are 45 F (8 C) during the day, and 25 F (-1 C) at night.
During the summer months the daytime temperatures are generally in the upper 70s during the day (25 C), cooling down to the mid 50s (13 C) at night. In October the average daytime temperature is 52 F (11 C), dropping to 36F (2 C) at night.
Our season commences in June with the debut of tender soft greens of spring, which turn into a glorious abundance of wildflowers, and it extends throughout the warm vibrant days of summer, and comes to spectacular finale mid October, when the hardwood forests are ablaze with color, competing easily with other areas in the world, known for their beautiful fall foliage. The average fall foliage season is mid September through mid-October.
Bring along your favorite games, a deck of card or a good book for reading in the evenings as there is no television. If you play piano, there is one in the dining room! *Please bring your bathing suit- there is a spa jacuzzi. Also, you need to bring your own water bottle for the ride.*
