Where can I find some Chile de Arbol hot sauce in San Diego?
This has really become a mission for me. I've been looking everywhere for some bottled chile de arbol hot sauce but I can't find it anywhere. I've been to Vons, Ralphs, Food4Less, Whole Foods, a few local mexican markets and none of them have it. I called Trader Joe's and they say they don't have it. I found a post here http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/450900 by a guy named Josh who said he bought some Salsa Encino chile de arbol at a Northgate market, but it was like a year and a half ago . I called the ones in Coronado, Chula Vista, and Escondido but none of them have it, although 2 of the places sounded like they weren't sure when they told me. I don't know if there was some language miscommunication. There's an Azteca Mexican Market in Mira Mesa that makes fresh chile de arbol hot sauce and sells it by the jar but I really wanted a bottled brand so it's easier to pour and hopefully doesn't need refrigeration so I can take it with me just in case.
The only place where I've seen plenty of chile de arbol bottled hot sauces is on the internet, but the shipping prices always kills it for me. I'm about ready to bite the bullet and just order it online but I wanted to check here one last time before I do. Anyone know where I can find some please?!
I was just at Northgate 2 weeks ago, and they still have both Salsa Encino, and another brand as well.
re: DiningDiva
On a side note, my favorite carnitas restaurant makes a chile arbol salsa that includes fresh jalapeno and garlic. It is always balanced - not too spicy and lasts for days (more than a week) in the fridge without getting bitter. I have tried to replicate this on my own with NO luck.
OMG thank you everyone! You don't know how frustrating it's been trying to find this stuff! This is my favorite type of hot sauce and the one that is the least sold in supermarkets. I'm going to buy a whole bunch of bottles tonight! Thanks!!
Ok so I bought 2 bottles of Salsa Encino and a bottle of La Costena Taqueria style salsa at Northgate. The Salsa Encino was pretty decent, although it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a sauce that tastes very similar to the hot sauce you get at the taco shops. You know, the orangish sauce that comes in the round plastic containers that has a mild, smoky, non-vinegary, hint of citrus taste to it. The Salsa Encino is more vinegary and has a snappier pepper taste.
I actually thought the La Costena was better tasting than Encino, at least on mexican food, which is all I tried them on so far. It's tomato based but not overpoweringly so like regular salsa on chips would be and tasted closer to what I wanted.
But I want something that's JUST like the taco shop style hot sauce. Does anyone know a brand like that?
I also bought a Zaaschilla Avocado salsa but I'm not too crazy about it. Tastes kinda sour.
re: bugmenot
Have you tried Valentina hot sauce? It's probably closer to the color you want and comes in a round tub-like bottle. It's very good and found all over central Mexico.
San Diego taco shop salsa can be a little difficult to duplicate since it's often not a bottled sauce. Have you tried asking a taco shop where you like the salsa for the recipe.
re: bugmenot
Taco shop salsa is made in a lot of different ways, and isn't necessarily a pure chile de arbol salsa. Also, if you talk to Cesar at Mama Testa about his arbol and sesame seed salsa (one of the best salsas I've tried anywhere), he'll tell you about how the flavor varies based on the season.
I've seen some taco shops making their salsa from Asian chili paste diluted with other ingredients.
I haven't tried Valentina but I took a whiff of it (at the supermarket lol) and it smelled vinegary so I thought it probably wasn't what I was looking for. I've been researching around online and a found a brand by a company that's no longer in business but the sauce is still around and seems to be just what I was looking for. It's called Scorpion Bay De Arbol hot sauce http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucea...
The sauce looks very similar to the taco shop's. It's thick and has a nice color and is described as being mild and smoky and smelling like oregano, which sounds good. I'm wondering why the company went out of business though when it seems like they created the perfect taco shop sauce. Any of you heard anything about this sauce?
re: bugmenot
The one you bought at Northgate, Encino, is also very strong with oregano. I think you'd be better served by Diva's suggestion of asking the people at the taco shops whose sauce you like about how they make it. Every hot sauce is different, and you could try several before finding one that's close to what you like. I've asked this kind of question before at taco shops, and they've usually been happy to tell me how they make it.
re: bugmenot
Maybe you should try hot sauce with chipotle. Thats one on my favs. And I've tried and liked the sauce they make at Azteca Market in Mira Mesa.
re: cigarlover
Thx for that suggestion Josh, but I'm too lazy to make my own sauce otherwise I probably would have done it a long time ago. It would taste a lot better than any bottled sauce I'm sure but it wouldn't keep for very long and I'd have to make it every week. I think it's much more convenient to have a bottle on hand.
Thx cigarlover, I didn't know there was a hot sauce store in san diego. I'll give them a call and find out!
Edit: I called the hot licks store and they do have the scorpion bay hot sauce. Although it's pretty expensive at 6.95 a bottle. I asked about other de arbol hot sauces and they didn't know of any. I just bit the bullet and ordered a couple of bottles online. It was about the same price as buying in the store. I'll let you guys know how it tastes!
Chiming in again. I just checked my fridge (I like to buy unknown hot sauces and try them out.)
Castillo "Authentic Mexican Hot Sauce, Salsa Picante". The label has a picture of chiles de arbol. I like this one a lot - it is not vinegary and sour like some others and I also like their habanero salsa - spicy hot and fruity with citrus notes.
"Made in Mexico by Especios Castillo, S.A. de C.V.
Tel: (62) 51-05-19
Hermosillo, Sonora"
"Imported by Mexican spice and food Co.
PO Box 3301, San Luis AZ 85349"
(Sorry, no U.S. phone no. listed on the label.)
I just wanted to let you guys know I received the Scorpion Bay de arbol hot sauce and it is fantastic. It really does taste like an authentic taco shop sauce. It's better than any bottled sauce I've had thus far. It's got a nice medium heat, though a wee bit hotter than the taco shop's, and it smells smoky, slightly tangy, with the almost bitter aroma of the de arbol chiles. This could easily substitute for the sauces the taco shops give you. It's really great. The downside is it is kind of expensive. I bought it online for $3.50 a bottle which isn't bad, but the fedex shipping is a killer at almost 8 bucks. Still, I think it just might be worth it.
re: bugmenot
Hmm...I never really thought of chile de arbols as bitter. They seem rather floral to me. But if you've found what you're looking for that's all that counts. Enjoy your hot sauce :-)
Hi bugmenot,
I'm very glad to hear that you scratched your taco stand, chile de arbol "itch".
Here's a link to a review (positve) of the Scorpion Bay de Arbol sauce that you might enjoy: http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucea...
I have been trying to figure out how to make this slas myself. I also live in San Diego. The "hot sauce" I like is the kind at Alberto's, Juanita's and Roberto's. Here is a great arbol recipe... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRNNSg... but it's not quite the kind at Alberto's. I am wondering if your replace the normal tomatoes in the recipe I linked to with tomatillos if that would be it? Or if maybe it is just asian sriracha sauce watered down? It's killing me though.. I am also looking to figure out how to make San Diego/Alberto's style carne asada and rolled tacos with guacomole too.
re: ChocoTaco1138
ChocoTaco, I can tell you that the beef filling in the 'berto style rolled tacos is actually a canned beef product from Argentina. It's only available through a broadline distributor (such as Sysco or USFoods) and possibly Smart & Final or Restaurant Depot. It comes 6/#10 can's per case, costs over $100/cs and is a surprisingly good product, especially for taquitos (i.e. rolled tacos) as it shreds easily and has virtually no fat. There are a number of commerically prepared (usually frozen) taquito products, but I'm pretty sure the 'bertos don't use them.
For the salsa, tomatillos will not give you what you're looking for, though it will give you a nice variation on taco shop salsa. Try using a combination of guajillos and chile de arbol and use roma tomatoes rather than round tomatoes. The salsa should also contain white (not yellow, not red) onions, some roasted garlic (not a lot). You will need to toast the dried chiles and you can also toast/roast the tomatoes and garlic. Once you've blended and strained the sauce, add salt using more than you thing you should, taste as you go. Then balance the sauce with apple cider vinegar and sugar.
re: DiningDiva
Ahem - DD, you should charge money for sharing your secrets. ;>)
re: Gypsy Jan
The rolled taco thing really isn't my secret ;-). One of my produce guys used to work for Robertos and when he saw it on our shelves spelled the beans.
As for salsa, it's really not hard. Toast, blend, strain and season. There are as many variations as there are grains of sand on the beach :-D
re: DiningDiva
Dining Diva.. thank you SO much! I have been going crazy trying to crack this nut. I used to live in Encinitas and they had great Mexican food (my favorite restaurants were Alberto's and . Juaniita's) I moved to Sacramento for a while and went through exactly what this woman describes
Now I live in the Grossmont college area, near El Cajon, and I luckily found a good substitute called Santanas. Is it true this type of food is called Baja style mexican food? Do they eat burritos like this in mexico or is this an Americanized Mexican invention? Someone also said a big key to making Mexican food like the restaurants is using lard to cook everything.
Another thing I am trying to reverse engineer are the carne asada burritos.. do you know any of those secrets?
I discovered the trick to making the freid rice is a soup stock made by Knorr that is a tomato chicken soup stock. (is this also used in the Berto's hot sauce?)
I am trying to figure out how to make the marinated carrots just right, too.
re: DiningDiva
One thing I don't understand is that when I try to make variations of arbol salsas to try to recreate the Berto's salsa I can never get anything approaching the same color as the Berto's salsas.
The arbol salsas are always a deep red. But the Bertos sauces I like are a watery radioactive bright flourescent orange color. This is what makes me wonder if it is watered down sriracha sauce..
re: ChocoTaco1138
The bright orange could be anything from under ripe tomatoes to food coloring. It's almost assuredly not diluted Sriracha. It is most likely from the variety of dried chile they're using. There are numerous commercial chile pastes on the market and they may start with those and add other ingredients. If the 'Bertos are using a commerical chile paste as the base then the color could be coming from whatever is in that. And it could simply be what happens when a chile de arbol salsa is diluted with water.
Do you know it's really a chile de arbol sauce they're serving? Did they tell you that, or is that what you're assuming. I think you will most likely not be able to duplicate the sauce you like because it's being made in bulk in a central kitchen - or may be commerically made by a manufacturer for the 'Bertos - and probably has additives and other ingredients that you would not typically think of as being in salsa...such as coloring agents.
re: DiningDiva
I remember once watching a guy at a taco shop make the bright red hot sauce. It wasn't Roberto's (I think it was a Los Panchos). He dumped a large jar of the chili paste made by Huy Fong into a 5 gallon bucket and mixed in water. Obviously that's not what everyone does, but that's what this place did.
re: Josh
Yep, not surprising. That's one of the reasons why it is so hard to duplicate SD taco shop salsa. it's probably an amalgamation of a commercially/institutionally available ingredients plus water.
They're looking for the least expensive way to make a salsa that tastes reasonably good. They're not thinking about tosting chiles, blending, straining and balancing sauces. that's way too labor intensive and with the way taco shops probably burn through employees, not prone to consistency
re: DiningDiva
I always loved the hot sauce at Maritza's in Clairemont. They make it from scratch using jalapenos charred on their asador. Delicious stuff.
re: Josh
Thanks josh! was this one of the sizes he put in one of those 5 gallon bucketa? http://www.hyphenmagazine.com/blog/sr... Or was it some kind of industrial size?
re: ChocoTaco1138
It wasn't Sriracha sauce. Huy Fong makes another product which is a coarsely ground chili paste. The seeds are still visible in it. It was in a 1 gallon-sized container.
re: DiningDiva
Yeah.. it's possible its not arbol. But arbol chiles seem to be as bright red as any of the chiles. I was under the impression you should use dried chiles. Maybe they get that bright color by using raw chiles?
I tried boiling and blending some bright orange habaneros and it made a very pale juice. I am wondering if I oven roasted some raw habaneros it might make that same orange color.
re: ChocoTaco1138
No, raw chiles will not give you what you're looking for. Dried chiles are the base for most salsas for the application you want.
Habaneros, no matter the format (raw, dried, roasted) will not give you the color you want. They will, however, give you nice floral undertones to the salsa and a nice bite.
re: DiningDiva
I just made this recipe up from kind of morphing together a few different things I saw and I think it turned out pretty good... It doesn't taste like Roberto's sauce I don't think but pretty tasty.
5 small vine ripened tomatoes oven roasted on a cookie sheet (broiled) for an hour at 400 degrees (make sure they don't catch fire or something watch them and rotate them while cooking)
about 7 medium to smallish cloves garlic, roasted with the tomatoes for a half hour
2 large packages of dried arbol chiles(stemmed) boiled in a about 3 quarts of water for about 20 minutes and blended with the water
a few small tomatillos boiled for about 10 minutes
a handful of orange habenero peppers boiled for about 10 minutes and blended
3 Tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of salt
about 2 cups (I think) of Minutemaid lime drink or you can add to taste
I may have added a few tablespoons of sugar.. can't remember now. But the arbols have a kind of weird taste if you don't sweeten them a little.
I also added a about couple tablespoons of that Knorr tomato chicken stock powder.
Mix all ingredients together. I blended pretty well.
Keep in mind I am not a chef so make at your own risk. :)
re: ChocoTaco1138
Its nice to know Im not alone trying to make SD taco shop hot sauce. I moved to Yuma Az...Another border town and man the taco shops here are horrible. I got crazy this a.m. though...
1 package chili arbol steaped in hot water for 10 min (20z size dried)
2 cloves garlic
3 tbl spn apple cider vinigar
Two and a quarter cups water and alot of salt.
It has the taste but omg its sooo hot! I have added 2 regular size cans of diced tomatoes and in the blender it goes. Pretty damn good! Sure beats anything in this town. I have tried using fresh tomatoes and it just doesnt taste right. Todays adventure is the best so far. I miss Saritas taco shop in spring valley. :(...
re: usedtobesd
Try adding a little bit of sugar and maybe a bit more vinegar. It won't quell the heat, but it will tame it a bit. Also try adding a roasted onion a quarter at a time until you get a taste you like.
Chiles LOVE salt so you're on the right track by adding a lot of salt.
I'll be in San Diego the end of the month w/ my son & have been reasearching places of interest for him. There's a hot sauce shop on Adams Ave. in Normal Heights. I think it's called Hot, Hot, Hot. Here's their address:
3737 Adams Ave
(between Cherokee Ave & Mountain View Dr)
San Diego, CA 92116

The People's Peremptory Challenge and Batson: Aiding the People's Voice and Vision Through the "Representative" Jury
Batson v. Kentucky famously held that the Equal Protection Clause prohibits prosecutors from purposely using peremptory challenges to excuse jurors because of their race. This Essay argues that understanding Batson's original social function first requires understanding the jury's political functions.
Courts and commentators often speak of the jury's role as representing the "People" or the "community" in the courtroom. But what does that mean? Jurors are not elected like members of Congress, and juries are too small to provide an adequate sample of the public's views. This Essay argues that a kernel of an answer to the question of what it means for a jury or a prosecutor to "represent" the People lies in Batson and its precedential children. That answer in turn has implications for justifying Batson, modifying it, and bringing its spirit into ethical training in prosecutors' offices.
My argument here is two-fold. First, the jury "represents" the People by acting for the good of the People as a whole in performing tasks that all the members of the People could not themselves collectively perform. It is not the content of any particular jury verdict—guilty or not guilty—that matters but the very process of jury observation and deliberation that itself brings about political benefits on behalf of all the People. The jury does not, therefore, simply mirror preexisting views of the People on a particular case—there are no such views—but rather engages in a process of verdict creation that benefits the People as a whole. Second, and simultaneously, I rely on the metaphor of the People as a "body," a metaphor enthusiastically embraced by the Founders' generation. If the People are a body, the criminal jury acts as the People's eyes and voice in the courtroom.

Jeremy "Lights Out" McLaurin 10-6-1 5KO vs Robbie "Pea Shooter" Cannon 13-8-2 6KO
Minneapolis, MN Festus, MO
-NABU Lightweight Title Fight-
8 Rounds
This is a match between two light weight boxers the fans will LOVE. We saw Robbie Cannon upset Gary "Stone Cold" Eyer for the NABU Championship. Now Cannon will make his first defense of his title against Jeremy McLaurin. We know Cannon is a tough customer with fast hands and good combinations. Jeremy McLaurin is a smooth boxer/puncher that uses angles and range to land big shots. He's got a wicked right uppercut he likes to use. McLaurin has boxed on major boxing cards around the US and is coming off a controvercial loss for the MN Lightweight Championship. McLaurin wants to win the NABU Title to use as a barganning chip to get a unification fight for the MN Title. This fight pins a busy boxer (Cannon) vs a tricky patient boxer (McLaurin) and with the NABU Title on the line we will see the BEST out of these two. What these guys have in common they have both boxed out of their home states in big venues around the US. They have seen how big things can get and shown they are fearless to take a risk. This will be a fun fight to watch, but you can be glad you are not a judge because both these guys have the heart of a champion and will hold NOTHING BACK.
Featured Fight
Corey "Collateral Damage" Rodriguez 8-3-3 3KO vs "The Unrisen" BJ Tomlinson
Minneapolis, MN Waterloo, IA
6 Rounds
Corey Rodriguez had a great showing last time out at Black Bear and is eager to go again! He has a good following that will travel and have supported him throughout his career. Across the ring will be BJ Tomlinson who poses a REAL Threat. BJ has only three professional boxing fights, but holds three Iowa State Golden Gloves Championships. Since the start of his pro career he has been widely avoided by boxers in the surrounding area till now. Rodriguez is a clever boxer and smooth puncher. Tomlinson holds explosive speed and power. This will be a great match!
4th Fight
"Sir" Charles Meier 8-2-2 3KO vs Stephen "TNT" Watt 2-2 1KO
St. Paul, MN Minneapolis, MN
Charles Meir is a boxer whose dreams in the ring seem to live on and on and on. In his last time in the ring he beat Tyler Halton (5-1) who was an Upper-Midwest Golden Gloves Champ prior to turning pro. During his 12 pro fights he's boxed almost every up n comer in the state, beating or getting a draw with all but 2. He has a smooth boxing style and great timing. Meier is a master of picking his moments to attack his opponent and knows what punches to use. His best shot is a wicket right uppercut. Watt is a boxer we saw at The Fall Brawl. He boxed the far more experienced Corey Rodriguez and in spite of his speed and power advantage came up short on the judges' cards. Watt sees this fight as an opportunity to bounce back into the scene with a STATEMENT! A win over Meier could land him a rematch with Rodriguez or other big fights in the state. Watt is hungry and when he is hungry good things happen for him. After his first loss, Watt won his next fight with a stellar 1st round KO! Size for size these two are even. Youth goes to Watt, Experience goes to Meier. Punching Power to Watt, Ring Awareness to Meier. Watt has to let his hands go is he wants a win. Meier's job is to stop him in his tracks. This fight is great!
3rd Fight
Markus "Hooch" Morris 1-0 0KO vs Andre "The Diva" Tieva 0-0 0KO
Duluth, MN Northfield, MN
4 Rounds
Markus Morris made his pro debut on our last show and beat a highly regarded professional Muay Thai Kickboxer, Kou Lee (13-4 Muay Thai Kickboxing record). His win sent a message into the MMA circle where other notable up n comers want to test their skills. Andre Teiva is an MMA fighter with a boxing/Muay Thai Kickboxing focus and wants to show he's got what it takes to be a successful cross over fighter with boxing. Teiva holds a 7-0 MMA record and competed as a power lifter prior to fighting. He's been actively fighting for 3yrs. Markus has 4 years of amateur boxing behind him and his skills continue to develop. In his last fight he showed he's got guts and mental toughness. The nerves of boxing his first pro fight on a big stage got to him a bit and he's looking to show an even better version of himself his next fight now that his debut is behind him. Teiva is a pressure fighter that cuts the ring off to smash combinations on the ropes. Markus can brawl too, but that would be a mistake with Teiva so he will have to box smart and use angles to get passed this challenge. There will be a lot of opportunities for back and forth exchanges in this fight. It could be THE FIGHT OF THE NIGHT!! We will see.
2nd Fight
Dustin "Bulldog" Mason 5-1 4KO vs Jacob Fox 1-0
Stillwater, MN Fort Yates, ND
4 Rounds
Dustin Mason has had a tumultuous start to his pro career. After coming to Duluth to get started he was drawn back to North Dakota to be close to family. From there he had a couple pro fights he had a lay off and changed mangers to join Jesse Garza out of the Twin Cities. In his first fight with Garza Mason took a huge step up to face Brad Patraw only to come up short. He was quick to bounce back and took a fight out of state to win a unanimous decision in Iowa. Fox is an amateur veteran boxer that is known for his counter punching skills and technical precision. He recently had a successful pro debut and is waiting no time taking tough fights. As an amateur boxer Fox had 60 fights with 2 trips to the nationals in tournaments. He was a quarterfinalist in the National Golden Gloves Tournament. Mason has a solid skill set as well and favors bombing combinations. It's not unusual to see Mason lead and counter with power punches devastating effectiveness. This is a fight that pins the bomber vs the technically slick boxer. It could be a chess match or it could be brutal war of wills. We'll find out soon enough!
Opening Bout
Cody "Menace" McManigal 0-1 vs Anthony "Nasty" Dunaski 0-3
Wadena, MN Minneapolis, MN
4 Rounds
This is a match between two boxers looking for their first win. McManigal has a stellar amateur career with over 100 fights! You can guarantee these guys will work as hard as two undefeated fighters to keep their unblemished record, for them it's their first WIN. McManigal lost his pro debut, and was left high n dry by the people that brought him into the pros. Walters picked up McManigal looking for a sparring partner for Gary Eyer last summer and told him he'd like to give him another shot at his pro career. Dunaski is a pro that has been matched with tough young prospects in each of his pro fights. He was never given a shot vs an equally matched opponent. This is a level fight on all terms. Both boxers are limited as pros, but can turn the corner to show better when they train hard and get matched at their level. This is a big opportunity for both. It should be a war! Let the hungrier boxer win!
See you at the Fights!

About Pat
What can I say? We are creatives who love the beauty and serenity of this place. We spent our adult lives in Fairfield County CT with a 5-year sabbatical in Seattle, and looked for a location that would not only fulfill our space requirements but meet our emotional needs as well. We share our environment with Rooney McDuff a spirited, way-too-loving golden retriever, and Ritz and Riley, two coal black cats who think they're dogs. We've always loved one-of-a-kind places, and this definitely fits the bill.
Pat purchased this apartment in 2006
Why Pat chose Williamstown
Well, this is more than a vacation rental; it's an entire lifestyle. Pownal Valley is probably one of the most beautiful in all of Vermont. Rolling limestone mountains might not make for double black diamond ski runs but they do make for fabulous vistas. Our views are without challenge anywhere throughout New England. Our complex houses our studio and gallery spaces as well as our own residence but our guests ALL say they feel totally private and alone on the property.
What makes this apartment unique
This is all about peace and quiet: not a partying place by any stretch. For our rental guests: Private courtyard for grilling and dining, private fire pit for relaxing and s'mores, private pool for a leisurely swim, private hot tub for a satisfying de-stressing. AND a fabulous flat, safe yard for kids and dogs to play!
Guestbook comments from the owner
I was skeptical about renting a property without any comments. I contacted the owner and learned that not only did it have reviews, it had 33 fabulous reviews associated with its Vermont listing, property #185296. Check it out!

End of Season Reviews: Duncan Keith
Apr 30th
Posted by JesusMarianHossa in 2011-12 Player Evaluations
Over the next few weeks the CtA staff will be looking back at the 2011-12 campaign and doing our personal evaluations of individuals players. We begin with one of the guys who wears a letter for this team and generally spends about half the game on the ice, Duncan Keith.
That's the first number that I went and researched because it's probably the most obvious place to start. For three seasons we've monitored Duncan Keith's ice time because the Blackhawks have been unable to field a third pairing that can skate 10-12 minutes a game. Twenty six minutes and fifty three seconds is the average amount of time that Duncan Keith spent on the ice for the Blackhawks this past season. He did that in just under 31 shifts a game at about 50 seconds each. Only former Blackhawk Brian Campbell was in that range. In fact, the number is exactly the same for Campbell. It's unfortunate that Duncan Keith will be remembered for what is pictured above because there's far more to talk about with #2's season than that. Much of the discussion will take the same tone though.
Despite Changes, Much of Same Necessary After 97-point Season
Aug 1st
Posted by Bartl in 2011 Off-Season
On the surface, a No. 8 seed and first-round playoff exit seems downright horrific following a Stanley Cup championship a year earlier.
Dig deeper, sift through the preseason overhaul due to cap constraints, and you'll likely find the Blackhawks' 2010-11 season most deemed a miscarriage may not be so terrible after all.
The 97 points are more than any No. 8 seed since the NHL did away with divisional playoffs and the Campbell and Prince of Wales conferences prior to the 1993-94 season. That stretch includes the shootout era which began after the 2004-05 lockout, guaranteeing one team will receive two points in every game on the league's schedule.
That's nothing to apologize for in my book, especially since a victory over Detroit on the regular season's final day would have given the Blackhawks the No. 5 seed. If you want to talk numbers, then look at them all – One more win, and there may have been a lot less complaining from the fan base.
What's Next for Chris Campoli, Blackhawks?
Jul 5th
Posted by Bartl in 2011 Off-Season
The shift in leverage for Chris Campoliwith the Chicago Blackhawks has been pretty dramatic in a little more than a week.
When Stan Bowman dealt Brian Campbell to Florida on draft night, it seemed Campoli had the 'Hawks by the babymaker. No other defensemen within the organization to promote worthy of a second-pairing spot and, hell, none seemingly even ready to make the jump to the big club. It looked as if Campoli would be able to demand a significant raise and get it, given the lack of NHL-ready defensive depth.
Then came July 1, followed by a salary abitration filing Tuesday. With plenty of defensive personnel now signed, what's next for the man whose nuts are surprisingly still attached after committing The Turnover in Game 7?
Blackhawks Add Veterans: Sign F Jamal Mayers, F Andrew Brunette, D Sean O'Donnell to 1-year Deals
Jul 1st
Posted by Bartl in 2011 Off-Season
You've got to hand it to Stan Bowman if you're a fan of a veteran presence.
After rolling through a disappointing season with an extremely young roster, Bowman added Jamal Mayers (36), Sean O'Donnell (39) and Andrew Brunette (37) to go along with Steve Montador (31).
It's quite obvious the Blackhawks are trying to balance out the locker room by adding tough, no-nonsense veterans to a roster which didn't seem to understand the magnitude of their failures last season.
While Duncan Keith admitted packing it in and most others continued with their versions of, "We'll be fine," the team pretty much fell apart and nearly missed the playoffs, which would have given Chicago an increased suicide rate.
Now, with a locker room full of guys who likely won't take much shit, there aren't many excuses.

"I believe that the tarot is a tool for spiritual guidance. The answers that we receive from the tarot should be used to heighten our understanding of issues in our lives, not be seen as definitive messages about our future. I clearly stress to all clients that they have free will to make choices in their lives regardless of the reading."

Common courtesy called forFebruary 24,2014Bus driver
owes an apology
Today I rode The Bus for the first time. The ride to work was very pleasant.
The ride home was a disaster. I waited at the bus stop in Castleton on this frigid night. The bus was 15 minutes late and did not arrive at the stop until almost 7:18. Then, rather than stopping at the bus stop, the driver quickly pulled over in front of the Blue Cat diner, two doors away. As I ran for the bus, the driver pulled away with a hesitation. A quick stop and go without any concern for people waiting at the designated bus stop. I was left running after the bus waving my arms.
I had to call a cab and pay $25 for a ride back to Rutland.
I deserve an apology and the driver needs to be retrained in customer service. There is no excuse for leaving a passenger on the side of the road on a cold night.
Public transportation sounds like a good idea but The Bus needs to be more aware of customers.

In town filming a promotional documentary about Miami at the Forge, a member of the Washington, D.C.-based West Beach Entertainment crew recently confessed she loves this city because "there's ceviche on every menu." Too true -- in the last few weeks alone, I've had scintillating versions at Azul, Bizcaya Grill, Chispa, and Food Café. And that's just the beginning of the alphabet. The ceviche movement keeps creeping on: Pescado's new chef, Puerto Rican native Sean Bernal, has just unveiled his latest takes on the subject, which include expertly executed Caicos conch marinated in lime juice, celery hearts, cilantro, and aji Amarillo (a Peruvian chili pepper) and garnished with choclo (boiled, large-kernel corn) and maize cancha (imploded kernels of corn, the direct opposite of popcorn) as well as grouper tiradito, sashimi-sliced fish flash-marinated with lime juice, scallions, cilantro, and aji Amarillo. To keep the chili peppers from overwhelming the fish, Bernal removes the seeds and ribs and soaks them in water for two days. "I strive for balance," he says. He also goes all-out for authenticity: While he was studying for his former role as executive chef at Tambo, a Peruvian-Japaneserestaurant that went under on South Beach and recently resurfaced in Coral Gables, Bernal "sat on the beach for a week with a bunch of guys making ceviche," he says. When he returned, he devoted himself to "religious research. There was no sleeping, no TV, no going out. I was bound to the idea of mastering ceviche."
The results speak for themselves, but they also say something for Pescado owner Jim Cafarelli, who sincerely confessed his desire at the media dinner to be "part of the community." The hiring of Bernal and the harnessing of his ceviches just may help Cafarelli reach that goal quicker than he thinks.
Bound for Beantown: Wish executive chef E. Michael Reidt has resignedafter two and a half years at the helm. Come mid-December, he's heading back to Boston to be closer to his family, especially his pregnant sister who will soon make him an uncle. Taking his place is Tantra's latest ex Michael E. Bloise, 28. Bloise spent less than twelve months in that den of grassy iniquity; immediately before that he was Reidt's executive sous-chef for a year. But don't expect Bloise to continue in the French-Brazilian vein that Reidt so thoroughly probed. He was rehired after reportedly "blowing away" the Hotel and Wish owners Jessica Goldman and father Tony Goldman during a tasting of Bloise's own Asian-style fare, which is enhanced with classic American accents.

You can take Barrio Latino in North Miami Beach, sibling to the identically named eatery in the Shoppes of Waterways, fairly literally. The menu encompasses dishes from a slew of Latin cultures, including Cuban, Argentine, and Mexican. The NMB Barrio replaces Vietnamese restaurant Saigon Palace, which had vacated premises during the summer to move in with Japanese restaurant Zipang a few blocks north. The fare was just as tasty in its new digs but alas, the last time I was in for sweet-and-sour rice noodle soup with okra and shrimp, the proprietors, worried about a family emergency, were making plans to pack up shop for good and return to the homeland.
The crates are being unpacked in La Estancia Argentina, the second of two planned marketplace-eateries to open in the Village of Merrick Park next door to the Palm. If the second is as good as the first, located on Biscayne Boulevard in Aventura -- the spinach empanadas are delicious, as is the garlicky, thin-sliced matambre -- this section of the massive mall just might start to draw a hungry crowd even before Norman Van Aken'sneighboring Mundodebuts.
Here's Johnny: "I'm baaack!" the voice announced with glee on my answering machine. It was Johnny Vinczencz, a.k.a. the Caribbean Cowboy, a.k.a. the Guava Gaucho, n.k.a. (now known as, once and for all) Johnny V. Turns out the acclaimed ex-Astor Place chef has left his groundbreaking gig at De La Tierra at Sundy House (and its sister restaurant in Taos, New Mexico) to open "my own joint" on Las Olas Boulevard. No doubt he'll bring his typical energy and creativity to the eponymous restaurant, though he probably won't have unlimited access to the grounds at Sundy House, an acre of tropical fruit trees, that supplied the De La Tierra kitchen. Oh well, there's always purveyors.
Double the pleasure, double the fun -- the three-year-old Mandarin Oriental, Miami has been awarded the prestigious American Automobile Association's (AAA) Five Diamond Award for the second consecutive year. The 329-room hotel is one of only nine hotels in Florida to earn that many transfigured lumps of coal.

She booked out of Dallas right after graduating from Walden Prep School at 16 and worked her way through New York's Hunter College as a stripper at a Manhattan joint called The Doll House. Got your attention? OK, skip to the present, when 37-year-old Victoria Alexander, now living in SoHo, is the highly praised author of two novels: Smoking Hopes, which was published in '96 and deals with life in an Upper East Side Japanese hostess club, and her most recent, Naked Singularity, which addresses the subject of euthanasia. Publishers Weekly calls the latter "gut-wrenching and eloquently written." Nothing is ordinary about this rebellious and gifted writer who says the reason she left Dallas for New York was because "it's easier for a nerd to fit in up here."

Jay Mariotti: Hours after the ESPN talking head was charged with seven misdemeanors stemming from his August arrest, Jay Mariotti's attorney told the LA Times: "The allegations are inaccurate and sensationalized. We are confident that the facts will show that the complainant was extremely intoxicated that night and abusive toward Mr. Mariotti." Horrible move. The first words out of Mariotti's camp are that the female was "extremely intoxicated … and abusive?" Guess this means the two broke up, which is bad news for Mariotti because it means she'll probably cooperate with authorities. [LA Times]

Where gas turbine engine structure eg combustion equipment, is to be air impingement cooled, the surface which receives the air jets is so shaped as to produce boundary layer separation zones 34, 38 and 44 in the cooling air, as it spreads across the surface. Mixing of the boundary layer with the remainder of the air flow results, followed by the reestablishment of the boundary layer. The new boundary layer is cooler than the original layer and so provides more effective cooling.

The Poitou-Charentes/Vendee region
The Poitou Charentes region is one of France's most popular holiday destinations and is believed to be the second sunniest French region after Provence. Like its neighbour the Dordogne, the Poitou Charentes is notable for glorious countryside. The capital of Charente is the walled city of Angoulême, a lively place to visit with many amenities and an annual World Music Festival. The immediate area offers the wooded valleys of several large rivers including the Charente, and the famous vineyards producing Cognac brandy. Further afield, but within reasonable driving distance are the coastal resorts of the Ile d'Oleron and La Rochelle. The theme park at Poitiers Futuroscope is a major attraction and the Leisure Lake at Saint Estèphe a must-see!
The nearby town of Angoulême offers a fantastic range of fashion and shoe shops, well-stocked supermarkets, food markets, lots of excellent restaurants, bars and cafés, as well as places of interest including its most famous museum which celebrates cartoon characters from Asterix to Peanuts. The museum, in a former brewery, with contemporary high rise and glass additions, houses some 4,000 original drawings and a family-friendly library with English editions. Closer to 'home' in Sers, the next village to Vouzan, there is a bakery, small grocery shop and welcoming bar.

Ioxus Inc., a manufacturer of premium performance ultracapacitor technology for transportation, alternative energy, medical, industrial and consumer product markets, announced it is providing ultracapacitors to ElectroMotive Design LLC (EMD), an engineering services company and a manufacturer of hybrid electric conversion systems for Class 2 through 8 buses and trucks. Ioxus' ultracapacitors are the primary energy storage technology used in EMD's fuel saving hybrid-electric technology called emDRIVE. EMD's emDRIVE hybrid conversion system offers a cost-effective and easy-to-install solution for fleet operators to combat rising fuel prices and meet government fuel economy regulations, according to the company.
Ultracapacitor technology dramatically enhances the operation of emDRIVE as compared to previously used energy storage solutions. EMD chose Ioxus' 3,000F iCAP cell as the core energy storage solution in its emDRIVE hybrid conversion system because it has the lowest weight, lowest equivalent series resistance (ESR) and highest power density available in the market. Ultracapacitors can handle more than one million charge and discharge cycles and offer a longer lifespan than batteries, allowing EMD to meet customer demands for a low-cost solution that is easy to install and reduces operating costs. "We use ultracapacitors as our system's energy storage medium in order to capture regenerative braking energy to be used later to assist the vehicle's acceleration," said Joseph Ambrosio, GM of EMD. "Because ultracapacitors are highly efficient at energy recapture and storage, they are best able to handle the high power bursts we needed for our hybrid conversion systems to deliver the highest fuel efficiency."With a high cycle life, a high charge acceptance rate of 95%, wide temperature operating range and instantaneous recharge, ultracapacitors are the ideal energy storage solution for hybrid-electrical applications. Ultracapacitors are the only technology able to capture the high peak power levels of a regenerative braking event in a compact, low-weight package.
EMD's emDRIVE, with the help of Ioxus ultracapacitors, extends the life of brake pads anywhere from 50 to 100%. With increased fuel mileage and reduced maintenance requirements, many EMD customers will see a payback in two to three years, according to company officials.

Department of Defense:
Further Actions Are Needed to Effectively Address Business Management Problems and Overcome Key Business Transformation Challenges
GAO-05-140T: Published: Nov 18, 2004. Publicly Released: Nov 18, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9505
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In March 2004, GAO testified before the Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support, Senate Committee on Armed Services on the impact and causes of financial and related business weaknesses on the Department of Defense's (DOD) operations and the status of DOD reform efforts. GAO's reports continue to show that fundamental problems with DOD's financial management and related business operations result in substantial waste and inefficiency, adversely impact mission performance, and result in a lack of adequate transparency and appropriate accountability across all major business areas. Over the years, DOD leaders have initiated a number of efforts to address these weaknesses and transform the department. For years, GAO has reported that DOD is challenged in its efforts to effect fundamental financial and business management reform, and GAO's ongoing work continues to raise serious questions about DOD's chances of success. The Subcommittee asked GAO to provide a current status report on DOD's progress to date and suggestions for improvement. Specifically, GAO was asked to provide (1) an overview of the impact and causes of weaknesses in DOD's business operations, (2) the status of DOD reform efforts, (3) the impact of recent legislation pertaining to DOD's transformation and financial improvement initiatives, and (4) suggestions for improving DOD's efforts to improve the reliability of its financial information.
Although senior DOD leaders have shown commitment to transformation as evidenced by key initiatives such as human capital reform, the Business Management Modernization Program, and the Financial Improvement Initiative, little tangible evidence of improvement has been seen in DOD's business operations. Overhauling the business operations of one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world represents a huge management challenge, especially given the increased demands on our military forces. However, this challenge can be met if DOD employs key elements, such as a comprehensive and integrated business transformation plan. Six DOD program areas are on GAO's high-risk list, and the department shares responsibility for three other governmentwide high-risk areas. Substantial weaknesses in DOD business operations adversely affect its ability to provide timely, reliable management information for DOD and Congress to use in making informed decisions. Further, the lack of adequate transparency and appropriate accountability across all of DOD's major business areas results in billions of dollars annually in wasted resources in a time of increasing fiscal challenges. Four underlying causes impede reform: (1) lack of clear and sustained leadership for overall business transformation efforts, (2) cultural resistance to change, (3) lack of meaningful metrics and ongoing monitoring, and (4) inadequate incentives and accountability mechanisms. To address these issues, GAO reiterates the key elements to successful reform that are embodied in our prior recommendations and two suggestions for legislative action. First, GAO suggests that a senior management position be established to provide strong and sustained leadership over all major transformation efforts. Second, GAO proposes that business systems modernization money be appropriated to designated approval authorities responsible and accountable for system investments within DOD business areas. Absent this unified responsibility, authority, accountability, and control of funding, the current transformation efforts are likely to fail.
