The Bulldogsworld Railroad is a rescue transport team of volunteers from the bulldogsworld family, who have organized to help rescued bulldogs reach their decided rescue destinations.
Over the past years, it has become evident that the caring and loving members of the bulldogsworld family are ready and willing to come to the aid of bulldogs in need. There has been a recent out-pouring of interest in helping national bulldog rescuers transport dogs to rescues, fosters, and forever homes that the dogs would otherwise not make their destinations due to distance factors.
We have decided to take our successful efforts and collaboration thus far to a higher level and create "The Bulldogsworld Railroad" as a team to help those bullies reach their destinations safely.
If you feel like you would like to volunteer (in your area) to drive a bulldog to a destination - please complete the below form. You can indicate how far you are willing to drive to meet another rescuer to help complete a transport. If you are unable to provide transport help, but still would love to contribute to helping rescues - donate money to your local bulldog club..
Also your emotional support ,prayers and cheering-on the transporters is welcomed and appreciated! These are the things that makes Bulldogsworld family who they are and is an invaluable part of the successes... AND THAT IS TRULY what sets us apart .
Although many of our volunteers do work with bulldog rescue organizations, our transport team "DOES NOT" facilitate adoptions of rescues. We are glad to refer anyone to our volunteers who collaborate with organizations and can help you find a perfect bully rescue to complete your family. "Bulldogsworld Railroad" Team info sheet
Join The Team... Maybe you can provide foster care, transport a Bulldog during part of their journey or help in some way getting Bulldogs if they need to pass near your part of the country. Please note - if you cannot provide the info below, it does not necessarily exclude you from participation. These are details we WILL need to compile a working database for scheduling and organizing a successful transport. Lets keep our transporters and our bullies safe! The info that you send to us will be kept confidential and used ONLY for transport purposes. To keep it fair, we will be asking for the same information from everyone...thank you for your cooperation.
Rescue and transport stories below, be sure to check them out!
Bulldogs World Rescue RailroadChubbi and Moose were successfully transported from Staten island in January, 2004 to their foster homes in Ohio! We could have never done it without the quick support and help from our bulldogsworld members! These two lovable seniors had a fun journey to their foster due to the devoted efforts of several willing drivers.

Mardi Gras was successfully transported from Iowa to Florida in November of 2003 by a team of BDW members. She is now in her forever home and owns the hearts of her new family in Florida.

Hope gave us all Hope...
She was in terrible condition when rescued. Despite every attempt at saving her life, it was not to be. She had a calling to move on to the special place, over the rainbow, where she could be healthy and happy again. We have never seen a more loving bulldog and one in such bad shape. Hope took many people's heart with her in the short time she was with us. At least she had peace her final days and was loved by people who cared. She will always hold a special place in the hearts of many and has taught us all that there is always "Hope"

des moines, IA, 08/04/04; sara was purchased by some folks who answered a newspaper ad placed by a breeder who no longer needed her services as she is approximately 6 y/o. two other females were listed with her. her family at that time included a young male bully, hmmmmmm. she never successfully bred with this fellow and, again, deemed unnecessary. she had been in this situation about a year and was ADORED by a 12 y/o girl whom sara would sleep with. when the breeding didn't take, dad said there was no longer room for sara in the new house. mom and her daughter did what they could to make sara comfortable out in the garage, but decided they needed to do something with winter approaching. a rescue gal named linda s. of des moines was contacted and found a potential family for sara. she was spayed and sent to her new home. these folks wanted a play dog for their kids. well, sara will never be able to play, or take walks on her own. she needs a knee repaired, which her new mom. lynn k will take care of, and has terribly soft shoulders, walking is very hard for her, but give her credit, she can motor, it's not pretty, but she does.. this new family was in the quad cities area of iowa, a 4 hour journey, one way, from des moines. judy j and linda p came to her aid there. she was with the family awhile before they decided she was not right for them, went back to linda p's...and ultimately back to des moines where i picked up. so, since the 4th of august , she has been spayed and re-homed at least 5 times, with her last address, the vet's office in des moines. she will go to her forever home with lynn k out east at the end of september when tx judy and i head that way on our planned trip east.
sara is a sweet, sweet girl that mack and i have just fallen in love with and are glad she escaped the euthanasia that was planned for her because of her knee and the vet bill it would have created. please keep her in your thoughts. Mack

Miss Tillie Mae!
About 2 months ago, after the sudden loss of my beloved bully boy Mack to cancer, Tillie Mae came to live in Minnesota. Her journey was more than the hours we spent on the road to get her from Pam Bergson and Indiana Bulldog Rescue. Born in July of 2007 with now diagnosed hemivertebrae, Tillie Mae lived in 5 homes in 6 months. Around March of this year she came to Indiana Bulldog Rescue.
A peanut at 32 pounds, she travelled to Purdue University and the University of Missouri Vet Schools. Diagnosed at Purdue, the vets at Missouri fused her thoracic vertebrae 7,8, and 9 with bone grafts from her own iliac crests and cadaver dogs bones. She recuperated with Pam. The vets deemed her surgery a success in that her condition would not worsen, but they didn't know just what her physical future would hold. Would she be incontinent? Would she walk? So far, we have progressed from not getting up off her hind legs to urinate, daily cleaning, and managing sores on the tops of her rear paws from dragging them to no more wet paws! No more dragging of those legs! The latter is more of an exception than a rule. Tillie Mae has been going to therapy and loves her new friend Katie. We continue to work on her mobility, strength, and balance, as well as a chronic UTI.
With all this said, tiny Tillie the tornado turned a year old in July and has an exuberance for life unmatched by anything I have ever seen! She loves every minute of everyday, making me laugh, sharing her joy at simply being. Her story is a fortunate one. Every step of her journey since Pam got her, has been accompanied by a new and loving family who not only devoted love and support, but raised money for her surgery through an EBay auction! BCARN gave funds. Pam and Bulldog Rescue saved her life. I do not know where Tillie Mae's future will take her. She will never move like a normal dog. But she doesn't care. Neither do I. We will take what each day gives us and be grateful for our lives together.
Thank you BCA, BCARN, Indiana Bulldog Rescue, and our BDW family!!! Rescue is the dark side of our world in a sense. All the time, effort, and money these folks put in is voluntary. The decisions that need to be made not always easy nor popular. Those of you reading this already know the message. Those breeders who are not reputable nor willing to take the responsibility for their dogs will, one day, face those they have abandoned, shunned, neglected and/or abused at the Gate. The Bulldog Moon shall speak no curse. The eyes will watch in lament as those who left them behind make their journey to another world. After awhile, their heads will turn in silence and amble back to the fields of Red Balls and bones. The Bulldog Moon will radiate its glow, warming those of us whose companions have made the Journey. Wiping a tear and sporting a smile, our hearts aglow, we go on, awaiting our meeting again.
Remembering........Big Hope.......lil Hope.............................NEVER GIVE UP HOPE..........
PLEASE NOTE - we are a group of volunteers with no club affiliations operating independently of any other efforts or clubs. BulldogsWorld.com is a proud part of this railroad. if you have any questions please email , Chairperons below :
Or be sure to visit all the wonderful people on the Railroad at the Message forums at Bulldogsworld where each of these people post and can answer your questions as well. Bulldogsworld is proud to also say that several Bulldogs have been rescued into their forever homes of many people from the boards as a result of the site.

The Maemo (Generative) Community...
Imagine meeting a distant family member — one whom you may have known something about, but never actually had the chance to meet. The feeling must be extraordinary: seeing a stark resemblance (if not with you, with someone else in your family), sharing similar likes and dislikes (maybe even common paths taken or avoided throughout life), reminiscing about completely disconnected times, but having an odd sense that the two of you are not as different as you might have expected… Now, imagine doing this with almost three hundred people.
That's what last week felt like. Maemo Summit 2008 (the first ever Maemo-oriented conference; sponsored by Nokia), hosted at c-base for two full days of lecture, dialog, catching up, and partying, converged on East Berlin, September 19 – 20. Along with official Nokia product and feature announcements, the mostly community-driven colloquium was more of a homecoming than a typical seminar or learning experience. While the information exchanged was exciting, inspiring, and vast — even to the amazement of some Nokia employees — the general sense of community far outweighed any other aspect of the conference.
But what is it that makes such a ragtag group of gadget enthusiasts strive so hard to develop and support community? Is it because everyone is so much alike? Possibly. Is it because each of us has similar interests? Maybe. Has technology finally come to a place in our culture where it can create and sustain community on its own? Hardly.
Interestingly, the question of how the Maemo community exists and thrives was probably one of the most often asked questions of the week (not only at the Maemo Summit, but at the preceding conference, OSiM World). Although, the question is not a new one. While few of the Maemo community may know it, I am part of another open source, but completely un-software-related community called Emergent Village. Honestly, this question has been asked by us and about us for more than a decade.
While there are many different layers to the success of the Maemo community (a little more about this later), a single word can define why a community such as this works: generative. The Oxford dictionary simply defines generative as, "relating to or capable of production or reproduction." More specifically, according to Edmund Husserl, a renowned 19th & 20th century German phenomenologist, a generative community can frequently be seen in a people who generate diachronic communication based on commonality and temporal exclusively, regardless of an individual's present locale. Moreover, generative community begins (and is sustained) when a people can objectively ascertain and develop a way of life in which each individual agrees to adhere — in most cases, manifested in a linguistic unification between each person within the community1.
Of course, that's just a complex way to say that the Maemo community was formed by a common language (the open source Maemo software platform) common interests (using, improving, and developing applications within the platform), and (kudos to Nokia) good timing. Unhindered by age, ethnicity, gender, or location, the contemporary condition of the World Wide Web, open source software, and mobile computing fostered a catalyst for a brewing economy that was just waiting to be born. Prompted by the corporate sponsorship of nothing less than a social experiment, a people burgeoned from a few die-hard gadget hobbyists into a cabal of more than 12,0002 passionate zealots, all willing to defend the Nokia Internet Tablet against any competing threat, but more importantly, willing to spend their hard-earned cash on the latest additions to the tablet répertoire.
When left alone, most formulas — even if potent — don't do much unless they are combined to make a solution. In the case of the Maemo community, the role of meddling alchemist can easy be attributed to the employees of the Maemo team at Nokia. You see, this experiment was never meant to be hands-off, and those who were committed did everything that they could to stay in the mix. From actively moderating the various bug reporting processes to adding lively and intelligent dialog to the discussion forums and mailing lists, the Maemo team proactively became a part of the community themselves. While it could be argued as to what might become of the Maemo community apart from the Nokia Maemo team, the fact remains that a symbiosis has been created between unofficial community participation and official corporate sponsorship3. The Nokia Maemo team has become so interwoven into the overarching personality of the community that the impact of their absence would most likely be felt much more deeply than could be predicted.
Nothing other than the recent Maemo Summit could exemplify just how much of an impact Nokia still has on the Maemo community. Not only were they able to bring almost three hundred people together from every part of the world, but they created an environment where friendships were made, projects were inspired, and enthusiasm for their product was inspired. It is impossible to know for sure just how much tablet-oriented evangelism was generated during the two-days of the summit, but it was live-blogged (both in the micro sense and in long-form) by several people from morning to evening on both days. Likewise, just days after the conference there have already been over four hundred photographs published to the "Maemo Summit 2008" group on Flickr.com. Regardless, it seems that Nokia corporate may be catching on to the importance of the community and realizing how a community like this might benefit their bottom line4.
Therefore, it seems, that the Maemo community is generative on many different levels: in and among the community itself (whether it be via application development or innumerable friendships); for the Nokia Maemo team (as an important resource for user experience testing as well as core application development); and for Nokia Corporation itself (referring to over 12,000 happy — and passionate — customers). It is because of this generative existence that the community thrives (and survives). It is this sense of a greater purpose that I was drawn to take part in the community — not just remain a bystander. It is because of the overwhelming support that the Nokia Maemo team offers to the community as a whole that such a variety of potentially volatile interaction succeeds. Further, as those of you who are a part of the Maemo community may know, it is why I am so proud to have been recently elected to the inaugural Maemo Community Council.
However, can community like this be duplicated? In today's age of technology-aided communication, the answer to this question may be, "yes." Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who try and fail at creating a vibrant, sustainable community. While this might be due to something that was failed from the start (e.g., the product, the idea, the timing, etc.), it is most likely due to the fact that the impetus behind the community was to build-and-run and to not engage with that which was begun (i.e., with an exceedingly deist approach to creation). Even if the linguistic and temporal tides are right, it is the extremely consequential factor of ongoing involvement that must exist for a community to endure and remain generative for all of the parties involved.

I love Contactually. I spend several months researching and testing various CRMs, and Contactually blew them out of the water by a large margin. CRMs can be painfully clunky to use, and I feel like Contactually successfully balances between being easy to use and fully-featured enough to be really useful.More about Contactually

For a company just starting with online collaboration, or looking for an easy upgrade, Capsule could be at the top of a list to consider. It offers the sales-oriented focus that small teams need. But if you're already running another software management system, is it worth switching to Capsule? That's a tough call. As promising as Capsule is for small groups, it still requires a big effort to manage properly.This capsule is worth trying, but it still might hurt to swallow.More about Capsule CRM

The intuitive interface of WORKetc helps users get things done in an efficient manner, and yet is heavily customizable to fit the dynamic needs of every business.

The software boasts superior functions that are marketed to increase productivity. Although, this may be true in the long run, the amount of time and lack of support on the front end makes adoption an issue. From the start, the system would not accept a conversion from free trial to paid account. When calling sales, there was a sales agent available even at night- WOW! Little did I know that this does not filter down to support! The webinars are overall good; but, the time allotted per webinar is not adequate to cover the material and allow time for questions. They are free though! Once you join and begin using the software, the first thing is to load the data. OK, where is the import tools- there they are! The system will upload the data and respond back that the contacts are already there and when your check, there are no contacts. This stops you cold as contacts are the basis for the system's first step in programming. Support! Ah, here lies the issue. The company failed to respond for over 24 hours to support emails and their own form. They do not provide a phone number for support. In fact, the support comes from an "unknown number." When calling the main number, you will simply be told that no one is "available to help you." Again, the only way to get a support tech is to make a fuzz. Who really has time for that in business? 2 starts for the product- would have been higher if I could actually have gotten to use it. 0 starts for support 5 stars for sales and marketing. Does this seem a little off balance to anyone? Not recommended!More about WORKetc

By Tiernan Ray
BlackBerry (BBRY) CEO Thorsten Heins made the rounds of cable financial news this afternoon, showing up with Scott Wapner of CNBC, and just after that, on Bloomberg Television with the channel's tech correspondent, Jon Erlichman, to talk about this morning's fiscal Q4 report, in which the company turned in a surprise profit and better-than-expected shipments of its new BB10-based handsets.
BlackBerry shares gave up earlier gains this afternoon, falling 12 cents, or 0.8%, to close at $14.45.
Here's the CNBC exchange:
Scott Wapner: Your earnings today being described by most on the Street as a mixed bag. Revenues miss, surprising profit, subs falling, and falling pretty sharply. Is that a fair assessment?
Thorsten Heins: I think the fair assessment is that we have by now, within 12 months, managed this company to a turnaround point, where based on the volumes you see, we are actually capable as a company to deliver profits to shareholders.
SW: I'm glad you went there. I guess the question is the sustainability. How long can you continue to sustain profits at a time when your subscribers are falling so sharply?
TH: We have designed BlackBerry now in a way that it's cost structure going forward is a very competitive cost structure. So what we are talking about is not a one-time effect in Q4, we have established an efficient engine in BlackBerry that allows us going forward, on the volumes that you will be seeing, to be profitable in the future. We will be investing in Q1 in marketing, that is why we guided towards, we will be approaching break-even. But the engine is set up and geared up to be profitable in the future.
SW: You've been able to manage the balance sheet pretty well. I saw one analyst this morning who predicted a cash burn over the next several quarters. Is he wrong?
TH: We have always had a very close eye on cash, and we know how important our liquidity position is. So we're managing this very prudently. But where we have to do investments, for example in inventory, to deal with increased demand for the BlackBerry 10 product, or with increased demand for marketing, we will certainly do it, because now is the time to go out and to sell BlackBerry 10, and bring it into the markets, and run the volumes home.
SW: You can talk about the strength of the balance sheet, and the ability to turn it around, but it's hard to ignore that 3 million subscribers leaving. Are you surprised that the number is as bad as it was, and who's to say that it's not going to continue to get worse, and what's a number that would really scare you?
TH: The decline in the subscriber numbers is really associated to the former BlackBerry OS system, so we expect this to gradually continue, as I said on the earnings call, with single digit, probably, in the next quarter. We talked about this before. What we're really working on, and what we're looking toward, is new services based on BlackBerry 10, and then we will be looking at the monetary value of those services, rather than pure subscriber numbers. Because there's a mix of pre-paid, and post-paid subscribers, and there's enterprise subscribers, so if you really want to understand what that business model looks like, you've got to really look on the revenue per sub based on applications and services, and that's what we're going to turn our attention to in the future.
SW: But can you really confidently say that you can build a global brand at a time when your subscriber numbers here in the United States are falling, when your brand is losing relevance to the [Apple (AAPL)] iPhone, and to Android, and certainly to Samsung [Electronics (005930KS)], I think you would be willing to admit that, given you have strength in Indonesia and some of these global markets. Are we looking at the story wrong?
TH: We absolutely have a strong brand. I mean, there's no doubt about this. This brand shows, through the times, through the last 12 months, we were basically on BlackBerry 7 products, there was a huge loyal base still working with us, and that loyal base is still out there. So we have a strong brand, we have a clear value proposition for BlackBerry, different from others, very, very precise, and I think that will continue to support the strong brand, not just in Asia, in other countries, I think it will support the brand in the U.S. as well.
Heins was asked about when the forthcoming "Q10″ device, with a hardware keyboard, will appear in the U.S.:
We are testing [the Q10] with more than 40 carriers, we're very excited because there's pent-up demand. This will be a global launch. Each region depends on our agreement with various carriers, and their test process. You can expect the Q10 to show up in Europe in April, and we are working towards May with US carriers.
Bloomberg's Erlichman also asked about the company's prior "strategic review," and whether the company would go beyond its interest in licensing BB10 to considering partnerships or selling a stake in the company, questions which Heins declined to speculate on:
I think we achieved a major step in bringing BB10 to the market, to the surprise of a few people who didn't expect us to achieve it. We've proven that this is a viable platform. We will prove even more by going global, with more products. That will attract certain ideas, certain partners, perhaps asking how can BB10 help them with their businesses. We'll embrace licensing if that makes sense for us.
When Erlichman pressed the point, mentioning specifically recent rumors of Lenovo (0992HK) acquiring a stake in BlackBerry, or buying the company, Heins responded:
Those discussions aren't in any way public. In general we are open for partnerships, exploring vertical markets, going into other industries, and we do that with BB10. Right now we are proud of where we are, we will strengthen even more the position of BB10 and take it from there.
Asked about the possibility of a ten-inch version of the company's "PlayBook" tablet computer, Heins was rather skeptical:
I don't know where that talk comes from. The tablet business is a tricky one, from a hardware perspective, so if we did anything, it has to be done around a service business what would provide good margin for us to do anything there.
Erlichman asked if Heins has repositioned the company to think less about total subscriber numbers, being content to see subscriber numbers slip, as they did this last quarter, so long as they generate more money per user. Heins concurred:
I think you've given a very good description of it. The subscriber number is one thing, but revenue and margin really matter. BlackBerry today is the second-most profitable platform [after Apple's iOS]. There's a mix of post- and pre-paid [subscribers], and enterprise customers. You have to ask, how much the subs affect your monetary value. We think we're doing well with BB10 in corporates, and this year we're bringing BES10 [the company's mobile device management software], and we want to focus on building a substitute business on the new platform.

text: Hasbro really screwed up this year (and to a lesser extent last year), so as JT said, the enthusiasm is difficult to maintain. Aside from that, there's got to be a general sense that there's not a whole lot left to do figure-wise aside from dutiful upgrades . . . There are hints that there are some big things coming next year that will hopefully be announced at Toy Fair, and hopefully the remaining five 3D releases will be handled a little better and get people excited again.

Wedding Spectacular Returns to the Wyndham KingstonAll Woman Monday, February 18, 2013
The three-day Wedding Spectacular — a weekend showcase of all things nuptial-related (think cakes, photogs, wines, florists, bar, and car services) — returns to the Wyndham Kingston from February 22 to February 24. Now in its second year, the event will feature over 50 bridal vendors including wedding planners, caterers, financial houses, jewellers, hairstylists, and deejay services.
Ladies-only Bachelorette/Male Review Launch Party. This event is to be held at the hotel's Jonkunoo Lounge and will be hosted by Bliss Bridal. With ticket prices at $2000, the event will not be limited to brides-to-be; the general public is also welcome to attend. Patrons will be able to win several prizes and gifts at the event. The prize list includes tickets to both exhibitor's fashion shows and other items. Male exotic group Devine Men of Choice will provide entertainment for the night. The entrance policy — strictly females.
A Day of Bliss. Patrons can expect to be treated with complimentary wines and champagne. The fashion shows, which aren't limited to bridal wear, will showcase designs from past Mission Catwalk stars Ayanna Dixon and Rebecca Stirm. Rebecca's line is geared towards the reception and after-party. Ayanna will also showcase her ASD 'honeymoon' swimwear line. To top the night off, Dexter Huxtable (best known for his menswear line Spokes Apparel) will showcase designs targeted towards grooms.
The Promise. Patrons can come out to watch the "TRASH THE DRESS" demonstration by Marcia E Roberts. This event will take place at the Wyndham poolside. Marcia will demonstrate the popular North Coast trend, and patrons can watch as several brides and grooms jump into the pool fully clothed. This promises to be an exciting photo shoot. The fashion shows of the night will showcase lines from Petals & Promises, Whitelotus designs, Bliss Bridal, and Earl's Tailoring, Spokes Apparel, and there will also be a special presentation from Mission Catwalk Season 1 winner Shenna Carby.
Patrons can also expect seminars on skin care hosted by Sacha Cosmetics; on floral designs and bouquets hosted by Tai Flora; and on financial planning hosted by Victoria Mutual Building Society. Makeovers, interactive demonstrations as well as giveaways take place on both days. Each day will close with the grand raffle prize for "My Big Fabulous Wedding" — a complete wedding sponsored with gifts from all the wedding vendors and suppliers in the Wedding Spectacular. So if you're thinking of a trip to the altar anytime soon, Vows recommends the Wedding Spectacular.

Project: Determining the Added Hazard Potential of Tsunamis by Interaction with Ocean Swell and Wind Waves►
About the Group
The destructive power of a tsunami on the world's coastlines is unquestioned; ample evidence can be seen in photos of the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The scale of destruction, however, has perhaps inadvertently justified the study of tsunamis in isolation from the other components of the ocean wave climate. The intellectual merit of the proposed work is the investigation of the tsunami phenomenon not as an isolated event, but as an inherent part of the world's ocean climate. For all their differences in destructive power, size, and generation, tsunamis and swell waves (which are always present on the ocean surface) are both gravity waves, and follow many of the same physical laws. Additionally, gravity waves of different frequencies exchange energy, which affects the shape of the front face of the wave and, in turn, the destructive power, travel time, and damage potential (structural damage and erosion) of the tsunami.
Experiments will be conducted in the NEES Tsunami Wave Basin during summer 2010 to investigate this interaction. Both tsunamis and swell-band waves will be generated, in isolation and in combination, and their interaction determined by analysis of the measured velocities and free surface heights. Both standard (Fourier-based) and advanced (Hilbert-Huang transforms) methods will be used to determine the degree of the tsunami-swell interaction and the resulting changes on the evolution of the front face of the tsunami wave. These data will be used to determine the change in the tsunami front face characteristics due to the interaction with swell waves and further deduce the effect to its destructiveness.
The broader impacts of the proposed activities concern the effect of the investigation on the profession's present understanding of the destructive power of the tsunami. This may in turn alter present policies for evacuation, construction, and public safety in coastal areas potentially subject to tsunami inundation.

How to make a visit to the exhibition
Monet and Japan is an exhibition based on Monet's
paintings and related Japanese woodblock prints. Monet never travelled
to Japan but he owned over 200 Japanese prints, many of which were
hung in his house in Giverny.
This exhibition shows how Japanese prints and paintings helped to
shape Monet's art during six decades, influencing not only his
style and subject matter, but the very way he saw the world.
The exhibition is hung thematically and these themes are reflected in
the layout of the website. Each theme when selected will present you
with a written introduction and a screen of thumbnail sized images
belonging to that theme. You can enlarge these images and read the
text relating to these works of art.
The Themes
Monet's earliest landscapes and views of urban life from the
1860s are displayed in the section called Modern Life: Modern
Vision. Japanese prints which reflect a similar interest in subject
matter and composition are hung nearby.
The second theme Forces of Nature reveals Monet's interest
in the dynamic relationship between surging water and immovable rocks.
He painted these dramatic works while visiting the Norman and Breton
coasts in north-western France during the 1880s. Japanese woodblock
prints in this section frequently represent the movement of waves
against a tranquil sky to evoke the dynamism of nature.
The Series theme displays Monet's series paintings of
haystacks and poplars with Japanese serial views; most notably
Hokusai's celebratedThirty-six Views of Mount Fujiand
hisHundred Views of Mount Fuji.
The fourth theme Giverny contains many paintings created by Monet
at his home in Giverny, about 40 kilometres north-west of Paris. Here
Monet created a Japanese inspired water garden, the subject of all his
later work. Superb painted Japanese screens are displayed nearby. The
screens' large central areas of unmodulated space echo the
ambiguous reflections and floating waterlilies of Monet's late

Morning guys :)
That blob is convection generated by a surface trough in the area. There is NO surface circulation if you look on the visible loop.
Posted By: StoryOfTheCane at 2:58 AM AKDT on April 30, 2007.
these troughs are barely phasing the High, definitely not going to have a repeat of last year.
SOTC if you don't mind I need to clear something up. That surface map you have there shows nothing that we want to know. If you're looking for troughs and ridges that will steer hurricanes this year, look at the upper air maps, not the surface. That high that you guys are saying extends all the way across the Atlantic doesn't matter at all because it's the high in the upper atmosphere that matters.
Here's a link to a northern hemisphere 500mb map if you want to see it. Link
Anyway, if you want to find troughs and ridges that will affect hurricanes look either on a map like the one I gave you or the initial images of model runs. The surface map tells us nothing.

Junc, how in the world does Sanchez run into his OLs ass? While still in the playoff race he throws 4 interceptions to eliminate them. That pretty much sums up his play. Stop making excuses for him.

Do you actually believe half the **** you say? Hartline was playing banged up and Fasano has never and will never be a true receiving threat. Other than that, our receivers were a guy we signed 2 weeks ago who I didnt even know existed and a 3rd or 4th year guy that can barely make our roster. Your ability to distort reality to fit an agenda is mind boggling.against a team that has quit and he had 2 opf his 3 WR/TE starters from week 1 playing last week. Sanchez hasn't had a single projected top 3 weapon in the pass game fopr the majority of this season. Please don't compare the 2 situations. Miami is "playing well" as they usually do w/ no pressure to win, that's very different than what happened to sanchez and the Jets this year.
nearly making the Super Bowl.
I guess giving up 24 unanswered points and getting beat by 2 TDs now qualifies as nearly making the Super Bowl. Who knew.
i've never seen someone put so much effort into defending a ****ty team; a team that is clearly worse than the dolphins.
thanks for the laughs, junc
Just read that Sanchez is gonna start on Sunday against the Bills
This is a lie.Miami wasn't in the playoff race a week ago, mathematically they were alive but they had no chance.
It wasn't completely impossible for the Dolphins to have made the playoffs at 8-8. They needed one more Jets loss and they got that already. Had Pittsburgh of beaten the Bengals, they would have needed to win at NE, have Cleveland beat Pittsburgh and Baltimore beat Cincy in Week 17. While not the best of odds that is the complete opposite of having 'no chance'.
And don't get me started on meaningless games (as they appeared in 09 to Indy and Cinci).
Postscript: NYJ although technically alive despite their bozo HC thinking otherwise after choking in that home Atlanta game 14 was for all intents and purposes deader than we were last week. As if that team was gonna beat undefeated IND with Peyton not Painter under center.

Revised August 24, 2010
On August 6, 2010, U.Va. President Teresa Sullivan spoke publicly regarding a variety of important issues, including student safety. She noted that starting this fall, students will be asked (when first logging onto NetBadge) whether or not they have been arrested or convicted of a crime (other than minor traffic accidents not involving an arrest or injury to others) since they were first admitted to the University.
The required disclosure on which this procedure is based is not new. Since 2004 the University has required that students disclose relevant arrests or convictions. The change that has occurred for this year involves taking an active rather than passive approach to pointing out to students their obligation to promptly and truthfully provide this information to the Office of the Dean of Students. A new NetBadge prompt each fall will ask that students disclose relevant criminal arrests or convictions and will also remind them of their continuing duty to do so within 72 hours of any future such incident. There is a perception that many students simply may have been unaware of this policy, and the new system is designed to both inform them and obtain the necessary responsive information in an electronic fashion each fall.
Several questions have arisen regarding the manner in which the information obtained will be used. The following provides some answers to the most common questions.
QUESTION: What is the reason for this policy and the new implementation procedure?
RESPONSE: The underlying purpose is to help us maintain a safe community. However, it was among many policies published in the non-academic regulations of the University Record and thus may not have been fully known to all students who did not read the relevant policies applicable to them. For this reason, the decision was made, starting this fall, to move to an "active" system that prompts students to provide this information and reminds them of their continuing duty to make these disclosures. Critically, the system is still based on the concept of self-disclosure in our community of trust.
QUESTION: What types of criminal infractions need to be disclosed by students?
RESPONSE: Pursuant to policy, a student must disclose any arrests or convictions of a criminal offense, excluding minor traffic violations that do not result in an arrest or injury to others, regardless of whether they occur inside or outside the Commonwealth of Virginia and regardless of whether the University is in session at the time. Students should err on the side of disclosure if they believe an arrest or conviction may be covered by this policy.
QUESTION: What time period is covered by the duty to self-disclose?
RESPONSE: This self-disclosure policy covers arrests or convictions that have occurred "since you were first admitted to the University" until the date of response. Students should have already disclosed criminal history information at the time of application to U.Va., so this prompt is simply seeking any relevant information since that original application.
QUESTION: What about juvenile records, including those that have been sealed?
RESPONSE: Given that the University does not enroll many students under age 18, there should be very few cases in which a juvenile record is at issue. In the highly unusual case where a minor student has an underlying juvenile arrest or conviction that occurs after matriculating to the University and is otherwise under seal, he or she should seek the advice of counsel regarding the disclosure obligation in light of the relevant law of the state in which the arrest or conviction occurred.
QUESTION: What about the distinction between arrests and convictions?
RESPONSE: We recognize that arrests do not represent an adjudicated conviction or an admission of guilt. Disclosure of an arrest is understood as that – simply an arrest — and may result in follow-up questions by the Dean of Students with subsequent supplementation by the student regarding the ultimate outcome of the case. Our focus at all times is on the underlying behavior. For those arrests that are referred to the University Judiciary Committee (and only where the underlying offense falls within the UJC's jurisdiction), a UJC hearing is generally delayed until the underlying criminal matter is fully resolved in court. However, we believe it is important to know in a timely fashion when a student has been charged with a crime. What ultimately occurs in a criminal proceeding may certainly inform any action the University considers taking, but it does not dictate the University's response.
QUESTION: What about criminal charges that have been dismissed or expunged?
RESPONSE: Students should disclose arrests that were later dismissed, although there will be an opportunity after answering "yes" to explain the subsequent dismissal. Arrests or convictions that have been expunged by court action should not be disclosed (see the specific provisions of Virginia Code Section 19.2-392.4(A)). Students should consult with legal counsel if they believe a prior arrest or charge has been expunged as that term is defined under applicable law.
QUESTION: Who will review the information that is disclosed by students?
RESPONSE: The Dean of Students (or, if necessary, an Associate Dean of Students as his designee) will review each response to determine if follow-up is needed. This is being done to insure that one uniform source is making this review, helping to provide consistency and fairness in its ultimate application.
QUESTION: What action will be taken based on the information that is disclosed?
RESPONSE: Our current assumption is that for most disclosures, there may be a follow-up e-mail or conversation to fill in any necessary facts and context. For arrests and convictions occurring in Virginia, the Dean of Students will also access the court records database of the relevant city or county to check the specific charges and status of each. For more serious infractions, there may be a meeting with the Dean to discuss what the student is doing to prevent a repeat offense or similar harmful behavior and also an offer of information regarding University counseling, alcohol or substance abuse resources to assist the student in future decision-making. The most serious cases may require referral to the University Judiciary Committee for a hearing, consistent with the system of student self-governance at U.Va. For a small number of cases that indicate a significant risk of violence, referral to the University's Threat Assessment Team for evaluation may also be warranted.
QUESTION: Will the information disclosed by students be reflected on a student's academic or permanent record at U.Va.?
RESPONSE: All disclosures will be documented in a confidential, password protected database maintained in the Office of the Dean of Students for the purpose of noting and tracking any follow-up actions taken and to provide possible context for any future infractions. However, only matters that ultimately result in UJC adjudication will be subject to future disclosure by the Office of the Dean of Students in response to student-authorized inquiries by graduate programs and employers regarding a student's conduct or disciplinary record at the University. Arrest or conviction information may also be shared with appropriate student services staff in the student's relevant school of the University (e.g., Engineering, Law, etc.) and may be subject to disclosure by that school if covered by a subsequently authorized disclosure by the student (for example, as part of a broad background check required under certain professional licensure requirements).
QUESTION: Will there be a "two strikes" or "three strikes" policy that mandates a particular form of disciplinary action by U.Va. based upon offenses disclosed through this process?
RESPONSE: While many colleges and universities do employ a strict "two strikes" or "three strikes" policy or otherwise require immediate suspension for particular offenses, U.Va. does not. Instead, we utilize a case-by-case approach in evaluating conduct-related incidents. Each case will be evaluated on its facts to determine what follow-up, if any, is appropriate. Although the Dean of Students may impose an interim suspension of a student (which remains in place until a UJC hearing may occur), that interim sanction is used only in the most serious cases that are determined to present a present risk to safety.
QUESTION: What about graduate or professional school students? Do the same procedures apply to them?
RESPONSE: Yes. Graduate and professional school students should respond in the same manner as undergraduate students. The review and follow-up procedure that the University's Dean of Students will follow is the same regardless of school of enrollment. Information may be shared by the Dean of Students with the student services professional in the school of enrollment, as those staff members may have more regular opportunities to interact with their graduate or professional school students.
QUESTION: What about a student's privacy?
RESPONSE: Most arrests and convictions are a matter of public record in the court files of each jurisdiction. In addition, a student agrees to be governed by the policies of the University when he or she enrolls, and as noted, this policy requiring self-disclosure of criminal arrests or convictions is not new. Students also were required to make similar disclosures when they first applied to any of U.Va.'s schools. The University will maintain the information disclosed by students pursuant to this policy in a confidential fashion. It will be accessible to, and reviewed by and with, only those staff with a need to know such information.
QUESTION: What role do the Honor system and the University Judiciary Committee play in this procedure?
RESPONSE: As with many other things at U.Va., a student is being asked to give a truthful response regarding prior or intervening arrests and convictions "on my Honor." Thus, an intentionally false response that is not trivial in nature (as defined by the Honor system) would be subject to being referred to the Honor Committee for investigation and further action. In addition, a failure to comply with the self-disclosure procedure could be referred to the University Judiciary Committee for a hearing based upon an allegation that such failure represents a violation of the University's Standards of Conduct (in particular, Standards 6 and 12). Under U.Va.'s system of student self-governance, the ultimate adjudication of any matter referred to the Honor Committee or University Judiciary Committee rests with our students.

Before i officially begin this review I would like to expound on one of my favorite words, that i discovered on my Ipod several months ago. The word is weltschmerz. I cannot think of a better word to describe the empowering feeling that this show leaves you with. Weltschmerz (pronounced like veltshmerts) is a german word, that is made by the joining of two words, welt - meaning "world", and schmerz - meaning "pain". Weltschmertz is a type of emotion that is almost viewed as a natural depression, or a natural sadness, that enters one's self when comparing ones current life... See full review
Ah. Air, the only word that comes into mind is "sad". and i don't mean that it's sad as in depressing. But i mean the word sad as the word you say when a really fat skateboarder smashes his face in the concrete after pulling an impossible move. "sad" as in, wow, the poor fellow was trying so hard, but failed....pretty bad. But when this skate boarder hurts himself. you'r not laughing, you just payed money to see this kid do something awesome. and he just wasted your money. I guess maybe I'm being harsh. but i loved Clannad, what i have seen of Kannon has impressed me, and i also... See full review
At first i was hesitant about watching this anime. Because I usually hate zombie flicks. I skimmed over the title for weeks. Eventually the ratings and recommendations got to me, so i sat down and watched it. 24 hours later, i had finished the whole show, and just sat back, eyes wide, trying to digest everything i had just seen. Highschool of the Dead follows Takashi Komuro, a student who witnesses a zombie infestation knocking at the front gates of his highschool. As you watch the show, you witness the world as we know it, completely change from one we all know... See full review
I came across this show one day when i was bored. I must say, sometimes boredom is a blessing, because out of the number of new Anime that i have stumbled across, this is one of the better. Xam'd; Lost Memories begins with a high school boy name Akiyuki, who finds himself in the cross-fires of a world war. As a consequence, he finds himself infected with a Xam'd - some kind of creature thingy that can make him into a bad-A. But only when he can control it. Without his body and mind finding a way to harmonize with the Xam'd, Akiyuki is doomed. While in turmoil, Akiyuki is picked up by a red headed, pilot... See full review

A staple in any woodworker or carpenter's shop is the table saw. It's typically one of the top five recommended tools one should have in their workshop. It's easy to see why -- they are versatile tools and can rip or cut boards of any length and dimension. Some tools, like a compound miter saw excel at what they do, but are limited in the scope of what they can accomplish. The table saw is capable of cutting a sheet of plywood as readily as making dados, tenons or box joints.
Before buying a table saw you need to decide what type you need. Table saws are generally classified into three types: benchtop; portable (or contractor); and stationary. The benchtop saw is aptly named because its a small saw that can sit on your workbench and have a ten inch blade. They are okay for small projects but are limited in what they can accomplish because of their smaller tabletop, lack of horsepower for cutting larger pieces of wood, and less accurate fences. The portable or contractor table saw is mid sized and a compromise between the larger stationary saws and the benchtop ones. The portable saw category is currently the most popular segment and manufacturers have targeted this space with many different products. These saws will have the horsepower to cut thicker hardwoods and have improved fences and slightly larger tabletops. To make them portable, they often make parts out of plastic or other lightweight material. The improved quality and features from the benchtop models, without sacrificing the necessary space of a stationary saw, are a prime examples why portable saws are so popular. The stationary saw is understandably the largest of the saws and is the Cadillac of table saws. They have the power, tabletop size and accuracy that can't be beat. Their larger size and weight helps produce less vibration making cuts more accurate as well. All this comes at a price though. For a stationary saw you typically will need to have plenty of room, the structural support in the floor (they can run 500lbs or more), and electrical capacity (often have 220V, single phase requirements). You'll also need to make sure you can get the saw in through any doors! These requirements often rule out the stationary, or cabinet saws, for many even when that's what they'd really like. If you don't have a dedicated workshop or are squeezing your shop in your garage where you need to move your tools around then I'd recommend a portable or contractor table saw. These saws offer enough features and provide enough accuracy that you won't be cursing the tool or constantly longing for a larger saw.
By now you've hopefully figured out what type of saw you want. So where should you get one? Many people opt to buy new table saws, but if you are willing to make an effort, one can find a great deal buying a used table saw. There's just a few things you need to do to make sure you get a decent one. Why buy a used table saw? You can get a saw at a fraction of the retail price of a new one and take advantage of another woodworker's upgrade to a new saw, an estate sale or whatever reason they're parting with it. Unless someone is really hard on their tools, it's generally tough to ruin a table saw so that it's no longer usable. There are a few parts you can replace to make the saw run as smoothly as a new one. Think of the benefit of rescuing the saw from the landfill too!
First, you can replace the blade with a new narrow kerf blade (like the Forrest Woodworker II) or perhaps it just needs a cleaning (try laundry detergent or oven cleaner). I wouldn't recommend sharpening the blade unless you know what you are doing. They last thing you want is the teeth to be flying out when you're running the saw because of improperly filed teeth! If the fences are beat up, you can find many after-market fences and miter fences available. Incra and Biesemeyer fences are among the most popular and can, in many cases, provide a more accurate fence than the one that originally came with the saw. Lastly, although a little more complicated, is replacing the belt that drives the blade from the motor. Slight surface rust can be removed with some rust removal and elbow grease. If you clean of rust from the tabletop, make sure you wipe it down with some paste wax to prevent it from rusting again and provide a slick surface for the wood to move over.
When buying a used table saw, never purchase it without testing it out or getting a guarantee that it can be returned if it doesn't operate properly. You'll want to bring eye protection, ear protection, a flashlight, square, protractor and a scrap piece of hardwood, preferably at least a full inch thick -- thicker would be better. It wouldn't hurt to bring a brand new saw blade with you too. These things will make sure the saw is accurate and powerful enough to be useful.
We'll first check to see if the blade tracks evenly using a square. The square you'll want is also known as an engineer square, precision square or double square. I recommend a high quality one, like a Starrett 13A Double Square, so that you can rely on it giving you accurate information. Cheaper ones aren't machined with enough accuracy to provide measurements you can trust. On the table saw, adjust the blade up to the maximum height and at zero degrees. Next, place the base of the square on the table top and push it up against the saw blade. Take your flashlight and put it behind the square an see if you can see any light shining through along the height of the square. If you do, try adjusting the angle and try again. Once you have success with this, take a marker or crayon and draw on the top tooth of the blade. Without moving the square, start to slowly rotate the blade around, keeping an eye one the square to see if any light shines through. Keep on rotating the blade until you see your mark on the top tooth -- then you'll know you've rotate through the entire blade. If it moves the square or you see light shining through don't get the saw. It's an indicator that the arbor isn't accurate -- it could have been like that from the start or impacted and bent. To be fair, you should replace the blade with the brand new one you brought so you can be sure it's not a bent or damaged blade. You'll also confirm that the arbor nut can be easily removed and provide inspection of the threads on the arbor bolt. Repeat this process, but use the fence as a guide and make sure that the distance doesn't change over the full rotation. Do this from the front and the rear of the saw blade.
Next, rotate the blade to various angles and validate the reading of the angle from the table saw to the protractor that you have measuring the real angle from the blade to the saw's table top. Take at least 5 readings and see how accurate they are throughout the test. If they are accurate throughout, then great. Otherwise, you'll want to check to see if you can easily remap what the saw reads and what it actually is. Remember, you'll probably be cutting things at angles often so you'll want to be able to trust what the saw's reading says. If it's not completely accurate, then your level of acceptance or ability to remap them properly will have to weigh into buying the saw or negotiating a lower price.
Finally, you need to take the saw for a spin. Make sure all the safety mechanisms and guards are in place, the blades properly tightened (this is a good time to put on your new blade). Read about table saw safety and how to use a table before operating it since you're responsible for your own safety. You'll need to be comfortable running the saw or don't attempt to do so! Set up the miter, raise the blade to slightly above the height of the wood and cut off a piece. The saw should be able to run through it smoothly without bogging down or burning the wood (maple can burn easily so a few marks would be okay). Sometimes a motor could have a burned out windings or some other problem causing slowdown and lack of horsepower. If it experiences trouble cutting the wood, skip the saw -- it's easier to find a trouble-free one than fixing one.
After all those checks you're ready to plop down the cash! You know you're getting a decent saw and the only thing left to do is to practice your negotiating skills. That's half of the fun of buying stuff used, isn't it?

(atorvastatin calcium) Tablets
LIPITOR is a synthetic lipid-lowering agent. Atorvastatin is an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylcoenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, an early and rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis.
Atorvastatin calcium is [R-(R*, R*)]-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-ß, δ-dihydroxy-5-(1-methylethyl)-3-phenyl-4- [(phenylamino)carbonyl]-1H-pyrrole-1-heptanoic acid, calcium salt (2:1) trihydrate. The empirical formula of atorvastatin calcium is (C33H34FN2O5)Ca•3H2O and its molecular weight is 1209.42. Its structural formula is:
Atorvastatin calcium is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is insoluble in aqueous solutions of pH 4 and below. Atorvastatin calcium is very slightly soluble in distilled water, pH 7.4 phosphate buffer, and acetonitrile; slightly soluble in ethanol; and freely soluble in methanol.
LIPITOR Tablets for oral administration contain 10, 20, 40, or 80 mg atorvastatin and the following inactive ingredients: calcium carbonate, USP; candelilla wax, FCC; croscarmellose sodium, NF; hydroxypropyl cellulose, NF; lactose monohydrate, NF; magnesium stearate, NF; microcrystalline cellulose, NF; Opadry White YS-1-7040 (hypromellose, polyethylene glycol, talc, titanium dioxide); polysorbate 80, NF; simethicone emulsion.
What are the possible side effects of atorvastatin (Lipitor)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Dr George Rosenkranz - The winner of the 2013 Biotechnology Heritage Award by Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) and Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO)
Singapore: Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) and Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) have selected Mexican steroid scientist, Dr George Rosenkranz, as the winner of the 2013 Biotechnology Heritage Award. The award will be presented during a keynote lunch on Tuesday, April 23, at BIO's annual international convention in Chicago.
Dr Rosenkranz joined Syntex Corporation in 1945 and retired as its CEO and board chairman in 1981. During his tenure with Syntex, Dr Rosenkranz created and guided an academic research group of star-studded brilliance, which included Dr Alex Zaffaroni and Dr Carl Djerassi, first as his junior collaborators, then as his lifelong friends.
Revolutionary advances in the intellectual understanding of and production techniques for steroid drugs were developed under Dr Rosenkranz's direction, using native Mexican plant sources as raw materials. Under his watch, Syntex became the leading supplier of the oral contraceptive pill and other corticoids.
Mr James C Greenwood, president and CEO, BIO, said that, "Dr George Rosenkranz has pioneered with brilliance in steroid chemistry; innovated with legendary success in the pharmaceutical industry; and recruited, mentored, and guided individuals of great talent to stellar careers. He unites in his person European charm, Hispanic courtesy, and American entrepreneurial spirit. George led the development of the oral contraceptive pill, served as chairman of the corporation that brought it to the global market, and thereby permanently changed world culture."

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal Jackson Bureau
JACKSON – Legislation designed "to clarify" that the Public Service Commission does not have authority over rural water associations has been amended to also mandate that the meetings of the utilities are open to their members.
House Accountability, Efficiency and Transparency Chair Jerry Turner, R-Baldwyn, amended the legislation before it passed his committee Monday afternoon to require the rural water associations' meetings to be open to their customers and to require that the customers receive notice of meetings where boards of directors are elected.
"I am a firm believer that as long as you have transparency that will solve just about any problem you have," Turner said. "If you have open meetings and the members are informed, they will sort out the problems."
Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley praised Turner's open meetings proposal, but said he still opposed the original intent of the bill, which is to take oversight authority away from the Public Service Commission.
"It is obvious the rural water associations do not want anyone looking over their shoulder," Presley said. "…The customers of rural water associations do not want this bill. It is the boards that want it."
Turner said all the legislation is doing is "clarifying" existing law, which already does not provide the elected three-member PSC jurisdiction over the 950 rural water associations. Presley disagreed with the assessment, admitting the PSC cannot set water rates, but has oversight authority as it does over other public utilities that operate as a monopoly.
The legislation is coming after a PSC investigation in 2011 of the North Lee County Water Association led to the resignation of the full board after allegations of mismanagement and to a guilty plea by the manager to the charge of lying about federal water reports.
The legislation still must pass the House Public Utilities Committee by today with Turner's changes in the legislation.
Then it would be taken up by the full House, and if it passes there, it would go back to the Senate that could accept Turner's changes or invite negotiations.

Quick Dishes
Peruvian Fish Ceviche with Corn
Citrus-Marinated FishCeviche, or fresh fish "cooked" in the acid found in citrus fruits, is a classic Peruvian dish that dates back to pre-Columbian times, when the Incas living in Peru made ceviche as a way to preserve fresh fish. Today, in Peru, ceviche is made by marinating fresh sea bass fillets in lemon juice and bitter orange juice with thin slices of red onions, for a bright citrus, savory taste. It is also common to add the Peruvian hot red pepper, rocoto, for a spicy kick. Serve with cancha, or toasted large corn kernels, for a traditional, crunchy complement.
Serves 6
Prep time: 20 min.
Total time: 30 min., plus marinating time
For the Ceviche:
1˝ lbs. sea bass fillets, or other firm-flesh white fish, cut into 1" pieces
ľ cup Goya® Bitter Orange Marinade (Naranja Agria)
ľ cup Goya® Lemon Juice
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced into rings
1 tbsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic or 4 cloves garlic, finely choppedminced
1 frozen GOYA® Aji Rocoto (Hot Red Pepper), thawed, seeded and finely chopped (or 1 jalapeńo pepper, seeded and chopped)
2 tsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
Ľ fresh ginger, finely grated
Ľ tsp. GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, plus more, to taste
For the Toasted Corn Nuts (cancha):
GOYA® Vegetable Oil, for frying
1 Bag (16 oz.) GOYA® Chulpe Corn for Toasting
|In medium glass bowl or dish, add fish, bitter orange marinade, lemon juice, celery, onion, garlic, hot pepper, cilantro, ginger and adobo. Mix gently to combine. Cover; refrigerate until fish is "cooked "by the citrus juice (it will turn opaque through the center), at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. Taste fish, add adobo, if needed.
For the Cancha Corn:
|In large, heavy pot with tight fitting lid, heat 1/8" oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, shimmering but not smoking, add the corn; cover. Cook, shaking pan often. The corn will start to make a popping noise. Continue to cook until corn is golden brown and popping has subsided, about 10 minutes.
|Drain corn on paper towels; season with adobo, to taste.
|To serve. Divide ceviche evenly among serving dishes. Serve toasted corn alongside.
Ceviche 101
When making ceviche, cut fish into 1" pieces, or smaller, to expose the maximum surface area of the fish to the citrus juice, and be sure the fish is submerged in the liquid. Allow the fish to marinate at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours. You know the fish is "cooked" when it is opaque to its center.
Some fish that work well for ceviche are as follows: firm white fish, like tilapia, sea bass, halibut and snapper; fatty fish, like salmon, mackerel and tuna; shellfish, like shrimp, crab and lobster; and mollusks like conch, clams, mussels, squid and octopus.
