*
2 1/2 T chili powder * 2 T ground cumin * 1 T ground coriander * slightly less than 1 T if using table or sea salt OR 1 T kosher salt * 1 T paprika * 1 T dark brown sugar * 1/2 T freshly ground black pepper * 1/4 tsp cayenne * 1/2 tsp mustard * 1/2 tsp garlic powder
This makes about a cup of rub. You'll have enough left over for another use. I bet it would be fantastic on chicken too, and I'm kinda wanting to try it on roast potatoes.

This rub is your "best odds" to smoking great set of ribs. This savory rub will add a lot of flavor without detracting from the natural flavor of the meat.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: Makes about 1 1/4 cup
Ingredients:
* 1/3 cup paprika * 3 tablespoons dry mustard * 3 tablespoons onion powder * 3 tablespoons garlic powder * 2 tablespoons ground basil * 1 tablespoon black pepper * 1 tablespoon salt * 2 teaspoons red pepper (1 tablespoon if you want it hot)
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container. When applying to ribs, coat heavily and massage into the meat. If you want to make a sweet rub add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

3-2-1 Basics: If you know how to smoke pork ribs, then all you need to know about the 3-2-1 method is that you smoke as normal for 3 hours, followed by 2 hours cooking wrapped in foil, and finally 1 more hour unwrapped. This gives the meat time to soak in smoke during the first three hours, when most smoke is absorbed. During the wrapped period the ribs are steamed, making them more tender and loosening the meat from the bone. During the last hour the ribs are exposed to the dry, smoky heat again to form a surface crust.
The Specific Steps: 1. Prep the ribs by removing the membranes and applying your rib rub 2. Place ribs, bone side down in smoker at 225 degrees F. (108 degrees C.) and cook for three hours 3. Wrap ribs tightly in aluminum foil to form an airtight seal, return to smoker bone side up and smoke for 2 hours 4. Unwrap ribs and return to smoker bone side down for 1 hour 5. Apply sauce to ribs (if you want) during the last 30 to 20 minutes of the cooking time
Variations: The 3-2-1 method is specifically designed for pork spareribs and the timing works best for that cut of rib. If you prefer back ribs then you should use a 2-2-1 method for the ribs or they will get overcooked and dry out. If long term smoking isn't something you are up to you can place wrapped ribs in the oven and finish them off (at a low temperature) on a grill or in the oven. Since most of the smoke flavor is delivered in the first three hours this method won't affect the overall outcome too much.

Instructions

* 1
Check your spice cabinet and see what ingredients you need. Purchase the ribs, any spices that you need and barbeque sauce (or make your own). * 2
Make the dry rub for the ribs. Combine the following: 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

 3
If you have a gas grill, pre-heat it on high. If you have a charcoal grill, light the charcoals.
 4
Rub the ribs with the dry rub. Wrap each slab tightly in a double thickness of aluminum foil. If you are doing this for a party this step can be done ahead.
 5
Check on the grill. If it's a gas grill, turn the heat down to medium. If it's charcoal, make sure the charcoal's have a white ash on them.
 6
Put the ribs on the grill, turning occasionally for about an hour or until they are tender.
 7
Remove the ribs from the grill. Turn up the heat to high if it's gas or add more charcoal's to make the heat higher.
 8
Lightly oil the grate. Remove the ribs from the foil (you may want to use old pot holders for this part) and place on the grill.
 9
Brush the ribs with bbq sauce (see link to recipe below) and cover for 5 minutes.
 10
Turn the ribs, brush the other side and cover for 5 minutes so the ribs are glazed on both sides.
 11
Remove the ribs, cut and serve. If you are waiting for other ingredients to finish cooking you can put them in a warm over, but be careful not to for too long and dry them out!

There are a lot of ways to prepare barbecue pork ribs. TraditionallyBBQ ribs are made in a smoker, though many people insist on other methods. Boiling, baking and even grilling won't give you ribs that are worthy of being called barbecue. I know this probably upsets a lot of people, but if you've tried all the methods you know that you need a low and slow smoke to make them right. I've tried to distill all the methods and information on real barbecue ribs into a basic set of instructions to help you make the best ribs possible.
Selecting: To start off with, you need to select your ribs. There are several different cuts of ribs available so it's best to know what you are getting into. Still more confusing is that not only are there different types of pork ribs, but each type and cut has several different names. For reasons of simplicity I will divide the types in two, back ribs and spareribs. Back ribs, also called Canadian or Baby Back Ribs come from the loin portion or back. Spareribs, from which St. Louis Style Ribs are cut, come from the rib section of the pig. St. Louis Ribs are the most popular rub cut. These are the kinds of ribs you typically find in restaurants, long and thin with a good amount of meat. Generally I recommend St. Louis cut ribs because they are a little easier to work with and you get more meat per bone. However you can use whatever you like in the way of pork ribs.
Prepping: To prepare your rack of ribs you should start by removing the membrane from the inside of the ribs. This is a tough skin like material that blocks flavors from getting into the meat. To remove the membrane, lay the rack down so the ribs curve up on the ends. With a sharp knife gently cut under the membrane on one corner until you have enough to grab. Now take a paper towel and grab hold of the membrane. Gently pull it back. With any luck you should be able to get most of it off in a single shot. Otherwise continue until the membrane is gone. Now you can trim off any loose pieces from the rack and you are ready to apply your rub.
Rubbing Most rib rubs usually start with paprika. This gives a nice color and tends to make up the bulk of most rubs. From here you should decide if you want a sweet, hot, or savory flavor. If you want sweet, add brown sugar. Other ingredients can be garlic, onion, chili powder, cayenne, and any other herb you enjoy. Remember that the rub should be an addition to the flavor of the ribs and not overpowering. Another tip is that you should use the same basic flavors in any mop or sauce you intend to add later. This keeps the flavors consistent and avoids the risk of flavors that don't mix well.
Set-up: Allow the ribs to sit in the rub for a little while. An hour or two will be enough for the flavors to start to sink in. In the meanwhile you can prepare your smoker. You want to aim for a smoking temperature between 200 and 225 degrees F. Pick a wood that has flavor but doesn't overpower. For instance, if you want to use mesquite, use it in small amounts. I suggest if you want a sweeter flavor to your ribs that you choose a fruit wood like apple or cherry, otherwise pick something like and oak or hickory.
Smoking: Now you are ready to smoke. You will be smoking these ribs for 4 to 6 hours. During that time you may want to baste the ribs in a mop. The best way to make this mop is to take some of the same rub you used earlier and mix it with a little vinegar and enough water to make it thin. You can apply this every few hours to help keep the moisture in your ribs. When smoking ribs you will want to turn them every hour. This is a good time to baste the ribs so the baste can remain on the top side. Baste lightly so as not to disturb too much of the rub. If you hold the right smoker temperature your ribs should be cooked through in a few hours. The additional time will allow the fats and connective tissues in the ribs to break down and tenderize the ribs.
Saucing: Most barbecue is not coated with sauce. Sauce is served on the table with ribs. However if you are a big fan of barbecue sauces then you can brush it over the ribs shortly before you remove them from the smoker. People will warn you that sugary sauces burn, but at these low temperatures that won't be a problem. Giving time for the sauce to cook on the surface of the ribs will allow it to caramelize a little and cook into the ribs. If you take your original rub and mix it with tomato sauce or ketchup you will get a traditional sauce. If you serve it on the side warm it first so you won't be dipping your hot ribs in cold sauce.
If you follow this plan you will get tender, juicy ribs that are better than any restaurants. With a little practice you will be making great ribs and be ready to move on to the kinds of pork ribs you can take to any competition.

Be sure to hang the deer in a shady area, therefore the critters cannot get to it. Rinse out the cavity with cold clean water to make sure all or as much fecal matter, urine, gut contents, and as much blood is removed. The next step should take place 48 hours or up to a week depending on the climate. If the day time high temperature is 45 degrees you can go 4-5 days but if the temperature is staying in the mids30’s the deer could hang for a week. The longer it hangs the better meat quality. First make all the skin cuts, so that there is limited amount of hair on the meat. Also cut the front legs off just above the knee, do both legs and brush away the hair. Use the knife to help peel away the skin, grab on the skin and pull it down towards the shoulders. Slow down once you near the shoulders because you will need to make sure you are skinning over the shoulder meat and not cutting the meat off the deer with the skin. The front legs of the deer aren’t attached to the body by any sort, only muscle. Carefully run the knife around the front legs from the knee end, this helps pull the leg skin off. Once the skin is freed from the leg it can be removed like pulling an arm from a sleeve. The only meat to cut will be near the backbone where the muscle holds the shoulder on, therefore just cut the shoulder off...

Chicago Prime vs Northam Case

...firms are wholesalers of meat products. In this particular case, Chicago Prime sold Northam ribs worth of $178,200.00. Later on, it was discovered that the ribs were spoiled and Northam did not pay Chicago Prime. There was a bench trial conducted on December 15, 16 and 17, 2003. The court examined the testimonies and the evidence presented by the parties and found that Chicago Prime is entitled to $178,200.00 for damages plus pre-judgment interest of $27,242.63. Facts Chicago Prime signed a contract with Northam to sell them pork ribs, which he acquired from another American company, Brookfield that actually processed the ribs. Northam sold the acquired goods to another company Beacon Premium Meats. The goods were delivered by Brown Brothers Trucking Company from a warehousing company that Brookfield uses, B & B Pullmann Cold Storage. The date of the pick-up of the goods was April 24, and Brown Brothers signed the First Bill of Lading stating that the ribs were “in apparent good order”, also mentioning that the content and quality of the content was unknown at the time of receipt. The next day, Brown Brothers delivered the ribs to Beacon where the Second Bill of Lading was signed. This stated that the ribs were "in apparent good order," except for "21 boxes [that] were gouged and [the] meat in [those boxes] show [ed] signs of freezer burn.” Chicago Prime paid Brookfield for the ribs and it was waiting for payment from Northam, which was supposed to arrive on May 1.

It is a heavy, warm cardigan and features a zipper closure and short row shawl collar. This project is worked entirely in 1x1 rib, (except for the collar) including the color pattern charts. The cuffs and hem are worked with smaller needles for a tighter gauge for 12 rows. I recommend working the color charts in a needle one size larger than for the main part of the project to maintain gauge. The charts are worked in Fair Isle, stranding the yarn not in use behind the work. You may wish to catch the floats because the color sections are quite long, but be aware that floats may show through if caught because of the black and white color contrast. All of the pieces follow the same color pattern by rows so that the color patterns line up, but the number of stitches varies depending on which piece is being worked.

We would order from this place frequently because they offered both Fried and Grilled chicken, as well as Ribs. They provide home style sides like biscuits, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, as well as cole slaw, French fries and other deli style sides. The food quality is much better than fast food, but is only offered for carry out or delivery. I would open a Chicken and Rib Crib in a strip mall near my home. The strip mall will alow a small storefront with enough room for the kitchen, while There is not a store like this in the area. My Biggest competition would be places that offer pickup and delivery at a reasonable price. Pizza Places, Chinese restaurants, and of course Kentucky Fried Chicken would be the most direct competition. My store would be most appealing to middle income families who have little desire to cook after a long day at work, and want a meal that has a home style feel. Chicken and Rib Crib offer these meals at a reasonable price which allows customers to save money over other places that charge a premium for Ribs. In the area there are two places that offer ribs, and charge a premium price for them. A dinner with a full rack of ribs can cost 25-35 dollars.

The rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio were varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.122 to 0.40, respectively, while the Reynolds number was varied from 10,000 to 500,000. Three channel orientations (90 degrees, −135 degrees, and 135 degrees from the rotation direction) were also investigated. The second type is a rotating rectangular channel with staggered arrays of pinfins. The channel aspect ratio (AR) is 4:1, the pin length-to-diameter ratio is 2.0, and the pin spacing-to-diameter ratio is 2.0 in both the stream-wise and span-wise directions. The rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.122 to 0.20, respectively, while the Reynolds number varied from 10,000 to iv 100,000.

Case Analysis

...I. INTRODUCTION On May 21, 2004, the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, made a decision in the matter of Chicago Prime Packers, Inc. v. Northam Food Trading Co., et al [1] under the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (hereinafter "CISG"). Notably, the decision references sources available from the Internet and cites to more foreign jurisprudence than any prior American case decided under the CISG. The CISG first entered into force in 1988 between the United States and ten other nations. Today, the CISG is the law in sixty-three nations (including the U.S.). The CISG, also known as the Vienna Convention, facilitates foreign trade of goods through a unified approach. It applies to contracts for the sale of goods between parties whose places of business are in different Contracting States. It automatically governs all international trade transactions within the scope of the CISG, unless the parties indicate an alternative applicable law. The CISG is generally consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code, which commonly governs contract disputes in the United States. However, the Convention ultimately represents a series of compromises between the concepts of common law and civil law. II. FACTS OF THE CASE In the case of Chicago Prime Packers, Inc. v. Northam Food Trading Co., et al, Chicago Prime Packers, Inc. ("Chicago Prime") brought a two count amended complaint for breach of contract...
