Rock Shrimp - where to get it
- lax2mia Mar 9, 2007 06:16 AM
I recently read an article in Saveur magazine about shrimping in the U.S. It covered shrimp from all over the U.S. with some diddies about how Key West pink shrimp was "discovered", etc. One of the species covered was rock shrimp found off of Florida's east coast. Where the heck can I get it if it's something found a few hundred miles from where I live? I have never seen it at a supermarket or fishmonger. It's pathetic that when I lived in California I was able to buy frozen rock shrimp and here it is nowhere to be found. Anyone know where to get these guys in S. Florida or do I have to travel to New York or California to get something that's harvested so closeby?
I always saw it all over the Keys but I do not know if it was a frozen product or not. It is refered to as "the poor mans lobster" because its taste is close to that of Florida Lobster. I would think you could ask your local fishmonger to order it for you. Maybe its a seasonal thing.
Dixie Crossroads in Titusville. Yes, it's a tourist destination, and no, the satellite locations elsewhere do not do as good of a job. They ARE rock shrimp (literally, I believe -- I recall Bob Mervine mentioning that they pioneered the practice of catchign and cooking them?).
It's quite a haul for you, and there isn't much other reason to go to Tville (unless you like skydiving -- theirs is the best in the state -- or the space center) but if rock shrimp is what you want, that's where to go.
re: Covert Ops
Thanks for the mention of DC. I have not been there in years, but always loved their rock shrimp. Glad to know it is still there.
Got a note from the Florida Bureau of Seafood and Aquaculture and they claim that (i) landings for rock shrimp from Florida shrimpers have been decreasing since 2004 and (ii) when shrimp harvests decrease, shrimpers focus selling their product in markets with the most demand which, for some reason, does not include Florida itself. They even state that the demand for it is not as strong in Florida as in other states. Which begs the question, how can something that's so tasty, so closeby and considered a delicacy in other markets be ignored by people in its own backyard? It's really disheartening.
re: lax2mia
One must also ask why, in a state where no one is more than an hour from the ocean, there are so (comparatively) few truly good seafood restaurants?
Anyways, Dixie Crossroads catches all their own shrimp, and they have a market that will ship rock shrimp and other products: http://www.wildoceanmarket.com/index.php
re: Covert Ops
"One must also ask why, in a state where no one is more than an hour from the ocean, there are so (comparatively) few truly good seafood restaurants?"
this is so true! and sad! you would think that even the grocery stores would be stocked with fresh FL seafood. not so. a lot of the stuff they carry comes from asia or alaska or boston etc etc.
re: lax2mia
It's not because no one wants them in Fl but that they can get a higher price outside the state. I agree that it's very sad that most of our best fish and produce goes out state. It's been a long time since I've seen them in any market. Loved them. The texture was very close to lobster.
re: lax2mia
I live on Merritt Island, a stones throw from Port Canaveral, home of what once was the rock shrimp fleet. Over the last decade, greedy local politicians have turned the port over to the cruise ship industry. Those ships and tour bus terminals have crowded out the shrimpers, who can no longer afford to pay the exorbitant prices for berthing space. Now there are only a handful of shrimp boats left in what was once the premier shrimp fleet on the east coast of Florida.
A decade ago, you could walk into the local supermarket and buy rock shrimp tail, peeled, for about $6.00 a pound. When rock shrimp became trendy in the rest of the US and the size of the fleet went down, prices paid by the locals more than doubled. Supply and demand.
Add to this the sad truth that most folks that live in this area are Yankees or refugees from South Florida. They don't rock shrimp from dung beetles and wouldn't consider paying that much for "shrimp". Again, not enough local demand for the increasingly costly product mean it gets shipped to other places.
re: bkhuna
It still gets me that it's shipped to other places (such as where the Yankees come from) and as far away as Hawaii. How can people in those far flung places appreciate it and people here not?
Again, you must get it fresh.
Last night on a lame Travel Channel (or Discovery or Bravo, never sure as always Tivoed) show called "Taste of America," Mark DeCarlo visited JB's in New Smyrna where they serve allegedly fresh rock shrimp caught by a shrimper who works off their dock.
In the kitchen interview, the owner said, "There are only three machines in the country than can shell them automatically." Those three, sez I, are owned by Dixie Crossroads.
So, you can get fresh rock shrimps at JB's, but ya' gotta' shell them yourself. Like prying conch out of a shell with your bare hands!
If you want the best rock shrimp in the world, for better or worse, make the trek to Dixie Crossroads, the originals.
re: Bob Mervine
There was a restaurant in St. Louis that always had them and they were delicious. They would steam them in beer, shells on and serve with drawn butter. The shells weren't so bad........just thick and hard but you got the hang of it pretty quickly. I musta had them once a week for a decade.
Many Florida fisheries have been overfished and/or legislated into extinction. Marinas and commercial docks are going away and becoming waterfront condos at an alarming rate.
Imported seafood is in most cases less expensive than local seafood; restaurants and markets of course go with the less expensive product.
As for Dixie Crossroads, those folks created ways of preparing the previously-unwanted rock shrimp in ways that the dainty, delicate general public could manage to eat. Heaven forbid that a shrimp would have a hard shell and be difficult to peel. At any rate, rock shrimp have a much more robust taste then ordinary shrimp; I prefer them boiled or butterflied and broiled to ordinary shrimp even if there's a bit more work involved in shelling them. Very good stuff.
I agree with all of the above. It is very sad that we can't get great seafood. I can't believe how unbelievably difficult it is to even find fresh (not previously frozen ) shrimp outside of the keys...and don't even get me started on the produce!
re: Wakeley Bridge
Have you tried that place, WB? I drive past it occasionally and it gave off that great on-the-water dive feel, but it looked almost TOO divey, like all they served was bait. *shrug*
re: Covert Ops
They've actually cleaned the place up in the last couple of years. My uncle used to drive all the way from Ocala to buy blue crabs there. I've gotten carry out two or three times. All good.
Any place that claims to be "fine dining in the dirt" can't be all bad.
I only hope that the world comes to its senses soon.
You can't get Florida shrimp in Florida. It figures.
I remember driving through Colorad, Washington, and Californaia in 2001 and I remember it was gard to find fruit native to its own state, but fruits drom the other 2 states were in every grocery store.
We have to stop buying things that come from far away and try to enjoy the things that are close to us, or we are doomed.
re: Covert Ops
The Tville site is the first. Rodney Thompson was the original owner and was the first to pioneer the rock shrimp industry with his own fleet of boats. He also invented the machine that cuts and cleans them. His daughter Lorilee runs the biz now.
re: brevardbelly
That's Thompson of the Thompson boatbuilding family; they built shrimpers, some longliners I think, and yachts. Building and operating shrimpers plus operating a shrimp restaurant all goes together methinks. Started in the mid-'80s if I recall correctly.
Around about then rock shrimp could be purchased straight off the boat for about $2 a pound, usually with a little extra shrimp thrown in.
re: Covert Ops
When I talked to Lorilee for the book, she made it pretty clear that Titusville was their original location and that her dad created the machines that split the shrimp for grilling.
I recall the Mount Dora location opening several decades ago, but still after the original. And all the info posted below, to my knowledge, is totally accurate.
There's also a reference in the Taste of America spot by the JB Fish Camp guys that there are only three of those machines in the county. Seems like there would be money to be made selling them, doesn't there?
re: spankyhorowitz
Check the link above for Wild Ocean Market and get them overnighted to you.
They are caught in very few places, I dont' believe anybody has them locally in SoFla...
The web address for the Wild Ocean Market is http://www.wildoceanmarket.com/ and I believe is owned by the Dixie Crossroads family. Order some Royal Reds while you're at it. They are better than the rock shrimp! Just wondering - ever had a softshell crab - they are delish!
OK gang, I actually ate at DC for the first time this weekend, and I really loved it.
DH dragged me and the two teenagers, because his mom had dragged him there every year for 30-some-odd years.
We got there about 7:30 on Saturday night and they said the wait was 35 mins, but we actually got in in about 20. There are tons of places to sit, though it was after dark. In the sun I bet it's none too pleasant. There is a bar outside though. The staff was on it, though, and very happy to seat incomplete parties -- rather insistent on it, as a matter of fact. DH had gone to grab cigarettes when we were called, and they said they'd be happy to get him and direct him to our table. (Granted, he's easy to spot, but I was still surprised they knew who I was with, since I made the reservation alone.)
The corn fritters were OK -- I didn't really care for the powdered sugar on top. I prefer straight-up hush puppies that are more savory, but that's just my taste.
The restaurant is very large with many rooms, and the decor is a bit loud. The service was very friendly and attentive, though.
DH and I split the "Dixie Spectacular," which was a dozen rock shrimp, a dozen scallops (we got both of these fried), a whole Maine lobster and half a dozen snow crab legs, quite a bargain I think at $29.99. It also came with two sides -- they have quite a few. I had a shrimp soup that was kinda gelatinous and heavy on the mirepoix, but still taste. He had a baked sweet potato.
Teenage boy had an 8 oz sirloin, cooked to a perfect medium rare, with baked potato and chicken-flavored rice. Teenage girl filled up on pizza earlier so ordered a Caesar salad. Both kids tried our rock shrimp and loved it -- I think getting them fried was a good choice. :-) The other seafood we had was perfectly prepared -- the crab and lobster nearly slid out of their shells, they were so well steamed.
The menu's a bit overwhelming -- they have combos of everything, in every kind of preparation. But be sure to get the rock shrimp, because you can't really get them anywhere else. Next time I think I'd like to try them broiled.
Plus, the four of us got out of there for about $55 (no booze), which I thought was pretty excellent for the quality of food we got.
Dont' go there for the decor, and don't go there for the music. (Pretty heavy on the Randy Travis.) Go there for the food, and the value. And go with a group and share!
re: Covert Ops
I remember the day's when DC had all you can eat rock shrimp for something like $20. That was only about 10 years ago....
Seabreeze Seafood, behind the old restaurant on the 22nd Street Causeway in Tampa, carried rock shrimp, until they closed. They sold 5 pound bags of heads-on, frozen, rock shrimp at $2.50 a pound. There was a lot of waste pulling the heads off, and cleaning them, but it was worth it. We just used a chefs knife to butterfly the tails, basted them with butter, and broiled them. Just like Dixie Crossroads, but in the comfort of our home.
There also used to be street vendors selling them in Cocoa, but I don't get over there any more. My sister just bought some, frozen, cleaned and deveined, in Boynton Beach, at $14 a pound. They were fine in a scampi, but I like them broiled, like little lobster tails.
I sure wish I could find some.
The Whale in Parkland offers them on their menu. I know it's not the same as being able to buy them at a market, but they're very reasonable there.
When I am in the mood for Rock Shrimp, I head (from Delray) a few miles south on A1A to The Whale's Rib. It's right on A1A, in Deerfield Beach, in that little stretch just over the Boca border where A1A goes East/West for 1 block. This is a casual, crowded, noisy fun type of place with a fishing/surfing/beachside feel to it. Good place to take tourists in winter also as they will get a kick from this Florida-type atmosphere. (Although I actually spend more time across the street at Rattlesnake Jakes, for good Tex-Mex).
re: CFByrne
:D The Whale in Parkland is their sister restaurant. Excellent raw bar and better parking. ;)
I remember frozen rock shrimp from growing up in (of all places) Northwest Indiana. My Mom used to buy them as a cheaper alternative to shrimp which, at least back in those days (the 1960s and 1970s), was fantastically expensive in the Midwest. I thought that they were a disappointment because they tasted like shrimp but had a tough, almost stringy, character to them. No doubt they were woefully overcooked, as most of the seafood in the Midwest was. Thanks for the tips. Now, in my old age, I will have to give them a try again. From your descriptions, they sound delicious.
re: gfr1111
Aunt Catfish's in Port Orange is advertising rock shrimp specials in the Daytona Beach News Journal.
I just had a really nice plate of Rock Shrimp in a Spicy Cream sauce at Toni's Sushi last night. That stuff is the bomb! It was a special, so you may want to hurry. Funny, I have seen it on menus, but never at the store. Call Casablanca on the Miami River, if they don't have it, they probably can get it, or Garcia's right next door.

For once, Tim Beckman and the Illinois Fighting Illini football players won't be the only ones that get to have some fun on the Memorial Stadium turf on a Saturday.
According to the official release from fightingillini.com, fans are invited to join the players and coaches this Saturday for Family Fun Fest followed directly by a special showing of the Lego Movie on the Memorial Stadium Jumbotron. There is no charge to attend either of these experiences.
Here's an excerpt explaining exactly what will take place from the official release:
"CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The University of Illinois football team and the UI Division of Intercollegiate Athletics will host a fun-filled evening at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, May 3. Head football coach Tim Beckman and the Fighting Illini football team will kick things off by hosting the annual Football Family Fun Fest on the field at Memorial Stadium from 3:30-5 p.m. Then at approximately 6 p.m., the DIA will host the first-ever Movie Night at Memorial Stadium, featuring a showing of a family-friendly movie on the giant 3,400-square foot jumbotron.
At Football Family Fun Fest, fans will be able to meet and collect autographs from the coaching staff and players, take photos on the playing field and participate in a variety of fun activities with Fighting Illini players. Football drills and competitions will be available for youngsters age 13 and under in addition to inflatable games like the bounce house, obstacle course and giant slide.
After the conclusion of Fun Fest, fans and families are invited to stay for the inaugural Movie Night at Memorial Stadium. Fans are encouraged to bring their own food, drinks* and blankets onto the field to watch a movie on the Memorial Stadium video board. Hot dogs, popcorn, Dippin' Dots and drinks will be available for purchase at the concession stands in the Great West Hall. Lawn chairs will not be allowed on the field, but fans will be allowed to sit in the stands on the west side of the stadium as an alternative to watching from the field."
The idea of a family atmosphere is pervading every aspect of the program, and events like this only serve to further that goal. If you have a chance to make it out to Champaign-Urbana this weekend to take in one, or both, of these unique experiences I'd highly suggest doing so.
After all, we are all a part of this Fighting Illini Family. So, why not spend some time getting know as many members of that family as you can while having a good time in the process?
The Skinny:
When: Saturday, May 3rd
Where: Memorial Stadium
Admission: Free
Parking: Free
Event 1: Football Family Fun Fest From 3:30-5:00pm CT
Event 2: Movie Night Begins at 6:00pm CT

LINCOLN — Just as the city's large Marathon winds down at Memorial Stadium, the Nebraska track and field team will be starting its largest home meet of the outdoor season a football field away. NU hosts the Nebraska Invitational at Ed Weir Track Sunday, a time change from Saturday afternoon, when rain is expected to fall throughout the day. The field events start at 1 p.m. with the women's hammer throw and men's shot put, while track events start at 3 with the 3,000-meter steeplechase — a specialty of Husker long distance runner Jessica Furlan.
The Husker men — ranked 10th nationally — and the women (unranked) are both coming off of strong performances at the Drake Relays. The NU men won the 1,600-meter relay in 3:03.79, tops in the Big Ten and tied for fourth nationally. Latvian Janis Leitis also won the high jump.

Two teams, two very different sets of circumstances.
Juventus came into this game looking to continue to make a statement in Serie A as the recent memory of their tough loss at home to Internazionale, one that snapped a streak of 49-straight Serie A wins, is still certainly fresh in their minds.
Lazio was coming off a strong victory in the Derby della Capitale. They bested their rivals 3-2 in a game which saw Roma's captain, Daniele De Rossi, sent off for punching Lazio's Stefano Mauri. De Rossi was suspended for three games.
Needless to say, Saturday's match had huge implications for both teams involved.
One trying was trying to continue its winning ways and the other was trying to rebound in a decisive way to reassert their control of the table.
In the end, Lazio looked much worse than the final score indicated, escaping Torino with a point after drawing Juventus 0-0. Truthfully though, it might be more accurate to say Marchetti drew with Juventus rather than Lazio.
Lazio had a lot of trouble with Juventus' consistent pressure throughout the game.
How much trouble?
So much so that Lazio only mustered five shots, none that troubled Buffon. Buffon could have set up a lawn chair between the pipes and done more than he did against Lazio during Saturday's match.
Meanwhile, Juventus fired 21 shots, four that troubled Marchetti. Juventus also had 11 corners to work with throughout the game. Marchetti was nothing short of brilliant; I highly recommend YouTubing highlights of his saves.
So what do we take away from this one? It's quite simple, actually.
One, if you didn't already know, Federico Marchetti is the real deal. He was a one-man highlight reel and certainly saved his team from a 3-0 defeat or worse.
Second, Juventus doesn't have someone to replace Andrea Pirlo when it comes to set pieces. I know, no one could replace Pirlo. But without him, Juventus was not nearly as dangerous as they usually are when taking set pieces. Remember, they had 11 corners in today's match.
Looking ahead, things ease up a bit for Juventus in Serie A. Their next league match is against a struggling AC Milan, while Lazio have a tricky opponent in Udinese coming their way.
Juventus have to find ways to capitalize on their chances.
The loss to Inter was tough but reasonable. The draw with Lazio was completely unacceptable. The will almost certainly be looking to put the last two weeks in their rearview when they face Milan next Sunday. If not, the lead they built will slip right through their fingers.

Honda Introduces the New HHT35S Trimmer
The new Honda HHT35S hand held trimmer replaces the HHT31S as the next generation of Honda's most powerful trimmer model, and joins the all-new lightweight HHT25S trimmer in Honda Power Equipment's lineup. The new trimmer uses the GX35 engine, a smaller, lighter, and more powerful than GX25 engine it replaces.
The HHT35S is aimed squarely at meeting the rigorous demands of commercial, rental, and residential users and is available through Honda Power Equipment dealers and rental outlets. Despite improvements including a more powerful engine, there will be no price increase over the HHT31S model.
"The objective was to respond to customer feedback and make our flagship trimmer even stronger," said Dennis Blanton of Honda product planning. "It's an example of Honda's commitment to continuous improvement and consistent value.
The HHT35S uses Honda's new 360o inclinable GX35 mini four-stroke engine known for its low noise level, low vibration level, and ease of starting. Smaller, lighter, and more powerful than the GX31 engine it replaces, this model effectively bridges the weight gap with the two-stroke competition while delivering all the advantages of a four-stroke engine. The new engine's oil-immersed timing belt and overhead-cam (OHC) architecture makes it possible to incorporate the valve train into the oil reservoir. This results in a substantial reduction in size and weight over the GX31, making it comparable to a competitive two-stroke engine in those areas as well as an ideal addition to Honda's hand-held power equipment models. As part of the new trimmer design, the GX35 engine also effectively bridges the weight gap with the two-stroke competition while delivering all the advantages of a four-stroke engine.
The new Honda trimmer will be available in two configurations; the HHT35SLTA with a traditional loop handle, and the HHT35SUKA with a U-shaped bicycle-style handle for increased leverage and precise control.
As part of its design, the new HHT35S trimmer also includes Honda's Flex Shaft system that uses advanced materials for reduced weight. Compared to conventional solid shaft systems, Flex Shaft offers:
- Strongest torsional strength in the industry;
- Longer life through ability to absorb shock;
- Decreased operator fatigue through ability to absorb shock;
- Easy disassembly for maintenance;
- Ability to operate even with slight tube damage.
Other features of the HHT35S include:
- New debris deflector shield for increased operator visibility;
- Soft touch loop handle for operator comfort;
- Standard shoulder harness and safety goggles.
In addition, Honda trimmers do not require the mixing of gas and oil, which provides for greatly reduced emissions, increased efficiency, and a reduction in opportunity for operator error.
Editor's Note:
Honda Power Equipment, a division of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., manufactures and markets a complete range of outdoor power equipment, including outboard marine engines, general purpose engines, generators, lawnmowers, pumps, snowblowers, tillers and trimmers for commercial, rental and residential applications. Its comprehensive product line consists exclusively of environmentally advanced 4-stroke engines.

I've died what feels like a thousand deaths
Cyclical trends of budding bloomed to whithered and dry
The more things change the more they stay the same
Still life goes on
Take it as a lesson learned
Use it to build. Your foundation, your strength, your wisdom
Experience is the best teacher…even in its brutality
Life goes on
You've flown before, or so you thought
Wings spread and ready to embrace the wind
More like a graceful descent than soaring high. There is a difference
Still life goes on
Crash and burn. Again. And guess what…you survived. Again.
You know why? Because the ride is far from over
You're better now and will continue to be with each new life
Rise. Ascend. Fly.
Life goes on


text: Blank paper? Those flaws and insecurities, those heavy life worries, shared aspirations and dreams, your speckled tears on my pillow at 4am still run in my blood. Knowledge comes in that there are forever elements of you that will always be carried as part my own self, incorporated, transfused, and remain mine only. Waiting on train station windowsills swinging my feet in October breeze, I'm still sat there.

WASHINGTON - There's been a lot of speculation about the Rolling Stones reuniting.
Now, we can tell you they have - to thank their fans after hitting 10 million "likes" on Facebook.
The 8-second video features Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and Charlie Watts in what appears to be a studio with a drum set nearby. This suggests the rumors that the band has been rehearsing, potentially for a 50th anniversary tour, are true.
The release of the video comes on the heels of Jagger's tour of duty over the weekend as host of "Saturday Night Live."

Economic Recovery Measures
FDIC Deposit Fund Turns Negative
Yesterday, the FDIC reported that the deposit insurance fund fell below zero for the first time since the third quarter of 1992 (during the savings-and-loan crisis). The fund balance, as of the end of the third quarter, stands at -$8.2 billion, including the more than $38 billion set aside for projected losses from bank failures over the coming year.
Federal Officials Pressure 'Pay Czar' to Ease Pay Restrictions at AIG
Worry about the government's investment in AIG has prompted some federal officials to call for easing the restrictions on pay at AIG for 2010, the Wall Street Journal reported.
One More FDIC Bank Closing
On Friday evening, the FDIC reported that it has taken over an additional bank (Commerce Bank of Southwest Florida) for a cost to the FDIC of around $24 million. This brings the total number of failed banks in 2009 to 124. Total deposits of all failed banks now equal $115.5 billion for 2009 and over $349 billion since the beginning of 2008, all at an estimated cost to the FDIC of just under $54 billion.
Reports Roundup
A number of very interesting and relevant government reports have come out this week. Check them out:
Will TARP be Renewed?
UPDATE: Treasury Secretary Geithner testified on Nov. 19 before the Joint Economic Committee, stating that "we are winding [TARP] down and will close it as soon as we can." Secreatry Geithner also stated that the Treasury will use "substantial resources" from remaining TARP cash to pay down some of the debt (see our commentary here for why such a statement is a bit misleading).
Several Executives Predict Third Stimulus
Several executives from General Electric and Bank of America Merrill Lynch said early this week in a BofA Merrill Lynch webcast that they see Congress approving another stimulus bill sometime next year. They argued that governments and emerging markets will lead a global economic recovery.
Weekend Editorial Roundup
Here are the highlights from this weekend's editorials on fiscal and budget policy:
Three More FDIC Bank Closings
On Friday evening, the FDIC reported that it has taken over an additional three banks (Pacific Coast National Bank, Orion Bank, Century Bank) for a cost to the FDIC of around $1 billion. This brings the total number of failed banks in 2009 to 123. Total deposits of all failed banks now equal $115 billion for 2009 and over $349 billion since the beginning of 2008, all at an estimated cost to the FDIC of just under $54 billion.
FDIC to Collect Three Years of Premiums in Advance
The FDIC has just adopted a rule to require banks to pay at the end of 2009 the amount they would owe the FDIC for insurance premiums over the next three years. This rule change will collect $45 billion from banks to help shore-up the severely depleted deposit insurance fund. CRFB reported on this potential rule change back in early October (click here to see our original post).
Administration Claims Extra TARP Cash Is Deficit Reduction
This morning, a Wall Street Journal article reported that the White House intends to use some of the remaining TARP cash for deficit reduction, while also keeping some funds available for emergencies.

Throughout May NFLmocks will be starting out coverage for the 2013 NFL Draft, but we'll also be breaking down the entire 2012 off-season for each team. Reviewing the free agency the team had, grading the draft, and taking a very early projection at the teams 53 man rosters. Yesterday Sayre took a look at the Colts free agency and today I'll be looking at the Rams.
The St. Louis Rams Draft recap:
- Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
- Brian Quick, WR, Appalachian State
- Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
- Isaiah Pead, RB, Cincinnati
- Trumaine Johnson, DB, Montana
- Chris Givens, WR, Wake Forest
- Rokevious Watkins, OG, South Carolina
- Greg Zuerlein, K, Missouri Western
- Aaron Brown, LB, Hawaii
- Daryl Richardson, RB, Abelene Christian
Un-drafted Free Agents
The Rams went a little nuts with un-drafted free agents.
Eastern Kentucky CB Jeremy Caldwell; Virginia DL Matt Conrath; Duke S Matt Daniels; LSU OL Bob Hebert; Oregon State P Johnny Hekker; Ohio LB Noah Keller; LSU TE DeAngelo Peterson; Texas Tech DE Scott Smith; UNLV S Quinton Porter; Henderson State WR Nick Johnson; Syracuse OT Michael Hay; Duke S Matt Daniels; UCLA TE Cory Harkey; Southern Mississippi QB Austin Davis; Wayne State OT Joe Long; Houston LB Sammy Ford; Washington State LB Alex Hoffman-Ellis; Virginia S Rodney McLeod; Massachusetts LS Travis Tripucka; Michigan State FB Todd Anderson; Stephen F. Austin LB Derrick Choice; Jacksonville State RB Calvin Middleton
The four players I bolded are the players I think have the best chance to make a N.F.L. team. Austin Davis was one of my favorite late round quarterback prospect types. Davis broke a lot of Brett Favre's quarterbacking records at Southern Mississippi. He's accurate, fairly mobile, has enough size, and enough arm. He just doesn't "wow" enough to get drafted. Davis could be a guy who hangs around at the back end of a roster or on the practice squad for a year or two before being relied on as a the backup.
Corey Harkey has a skill set–he can block very very well. Maybe the best blocking tight end in the draft. When we're talking about late round guys and undrafted free agents we're looking for a skill set that is exceptional–that's Harkey. DeAngelo Patterson and Alex Hoffman Ellis are two guys I thought would get drafted and both also play positions where the talent for the Rams is questionable.
Grading the Draft:
Rams trade #2 pick to the Washington Redskins for #6 pick for 2 extra first rounds and an 2012 second round, and then trade #6 pick to the Dallas Cowboys for another second round pick.
In the first round the Rams selected Michael Brockers the DT out of LSU. I like this pick. The Rams really needed to improve their run defense and the talent along their defensive front seven. The Rams best Defensive tackle last year might have been Fred Robbins who was old two years ago, though he has now been cut. Brockers went to a team that has a coach that got the most out of Albert Haynesworth–and Brockers doesn't have the same attitude or motor issues. Brockers should be a good player in two years. A+++ pick. Think about this they started with the second pick overall-which they turned into two extra first round picks and two extra second round picks that's the kind of move that helped the Cowboys dominated the 1990's.
The Rams selected three players in the second round-Brian Quick the Appalachin State Wide Receiver, Janoris Jenkins the North Alabama cornerback, and Isaiah Pead the Cincinnati Bearcats running back.
I could break this round into three categories: Love, like, meh
Love-Janoris Jenkins pick here. The Rams have an abundance of early round picks over the next couple of drafts, if one team is going to take a chance on a guy who loves football, but makes questionable decisions off the field it should be the Rams. This is not a motor or talent problem with Jenkins. Is it–will he get suspended problem. Or will he be able to handle his money problem. The Rams can afford a miss on Jenkins, and his upside is tremendous-fills a huge need for them as well. A
I like the Isaiah Pead pick. Pead is another guy who had a few issues, mostly on the field but is a good talent. He's the perfect compliment to Steve Jackson. What you love about Pead is how he can create his own yardage. If Pead gets into the second level he immediately becomes troube, very agile and quick. Productive too. Good solid pick. B+
Brian Quick is a 2nd round player and has as much upside as Stephen Hill, but I don't think he's as good as Jeffery or Randle. WR was a huge need for the Rams. Would they have been better going Kendall Wright/Jerel Worthy? B-
The third round the Rams went back to the secondary with the pick of the talented Trumaine Johnson. Johnson is a big cornerback who might have to play Safety in the National Football league. Regardless, last year the Rams had no talent at cornerback and this year they have Finnegan, Jenkins, and Johnson. B- pick. I have two issues with the pick. I'm always worried about guys who are cornerbacks but might have to convert as safeties for that reason Johnson wasn't a top 2 round lock for me. Second, Johnson also had the dreaded "character concerns" label attached to him. That's three players in a row the Rams have drafted with questionable character. Bypassing the offensive line here is risky as well. B- (which is not a knock to me. A B- is about an average pick)
Update: I did not notice that Jeff Fisher's son was in the Montana program, which makes the pick better for me. The Titans would have had plenty of first hand knowledge on Johnson's dedication to the game of football.
Chris Givens-Givens was a top 80 player on my board and getting him with the 96th pick is good value. Givens is also a player that is the opposite of Quick to give the passing offense some versatility. Givens will rack up the yards after the catch in the N.F.L. and should excel in the slot, but also be a guy who can play outside some. Bradford won't have as many issues at the WR position anymore. A
In round five the Rams grabbed a massive OL with South Carolina's Rokevious Watkins. Watkins is a massive guy who will go and play guard. Jeff Fisher loves to run the football if history is any true indicator and Watkins can definitely help in that area. Unlike the last few picks Watkins is considered a high character guy. B-
Greg Zuerlein K Missouri Western
Huh? What? I didn't watch him play, but I heard a lot of good things. Big, huge leg and accurate. He went 9/9 from 50+ plus last year. Incomplete. All kickers in the National Football League kick really well in college. The Rams have to project how Zuerlein will kick when the spotlight is on him and he's trying to put it through the uprights 44 yards away with 1 minute left in the game and the Rams down by 2 and.
Round six the Rams selected Aaron Brown LB Hawaii. The Rams needed more talent at the linebacker position. The book on Brown is that he's going to excel on special teams and provide valuable depth. Good character guy with plus instincts. B+. I'm a fan of getting players late who can really excel on special teams.
The final pick of the Rams draft had them selecting Daryl Richardson the Running back out of Albeine Christian. I had a host of running back rated higher than Richardson, but the Rams saw something they liked about him. B-. I'm not going to knock any late round picks, really. They need more depth at running back too–but there were other running backs I preferred.
Overall A/A+
I think it's being over looked far too often how much this draft pick could set up the Rams to be a Superbowl contender for the next five years. The Rams will have three two extra first round picks over the next few years as well as having three second round picks this year. That means in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 draft classes the Rams have at least 10 picks in the first two rounds of the draft. That should be 10 starting players and a couple of potential pro bowl impact caliber players in a three year span. It doesn't hurt that they got some really terrific players in this draft class.
Terrific job by the Rams, though I think they could have done better in the second round.

A/N: I can't top this so I'm gonna end it here. Let me know if you liked it!
"On Second thought, no, I'm not going to touch you," Emma promptly removed her finger from Regina's stomach to emphasize her point.
The look Regina gave her was pure hate, she sat up and pointed at Emma, her lip snarling, "You have some nerve: Coming in here and seducing me under false pretenses. Now you're just going to leave when I'm… when I'm…"
Emma snatched Regina's outstretched wrist and brought it to her lips. She sucked Regina's index and middle fingers, thoroughly wetting them. She squeezed her wrist firmly and pulled the fingers out of her mouth to speak, "You're going to touch yourself, and I'll give some…encouragement."
"What?! No—I'm not…I don't—"
"Okay, I'll leave then, and I guarantee you'll still be here in a cold bed touching yourself without me. You look like you need it bad enough."
Regina stared slack-jawed at the two fingers Emma pushed back into her mouth as casually as if she was sucking a Popsicle. She sucked a little harder as Regina watched, bobbing her head up and down on the fingers slightly.
Regina nodded almost imperceptibly, blinking back her rage, eyes brimming with lust. Emma situated herself to sit against the headboard, and patted her lap, "Come here."
Regina rolled onto her knees and cautiously moved in front of Emma. Emma spread her legs and pulled Regina down to sit between them. Regina complied awkwardly; protesting slightly as Emma pulled Regina's back flush against her. She then lifted each of Regina's knees to hook over her thighs, spreading her legs nice and wide.
The weight of her hot body felt really nice against Emma, she kneaded Regina's shoulders to get her to relax once more. She kissed her neck and sucked her earlobe, giving it a frisky little bite. Then Emma took a moment to peer over Regina's shoulder and down her body. She liked hat they had the same view.
"Tease yourself," Emma covered Regina's hand with her own and directed it roughly between parted thighs.
For a long moment Regina kept her hand still, debating whether or not to give in to Emma's direction.
"Go on, just stroke- go slow," Emma whispered in her ear. Regina's hair tickled Emma's neck and she leaned her chin on Regina's shoulder never taking her eyes off of Regina's fingers. Tentatively, Regina cupped herself, barely touching.
"Up and down."
Regina scrunched her face up as though she found the idea extremely distasteful, but her fingers began to slowly glide through her wetness as her body remained completely still against Emma. Emma brought her arms around Regina's torso, letting her hands scratch gently at her ribs and then coming up to fondle Regina's breasts. She squeezed with alternating motion, rolling and pinching her nipples between her fingers.
"Draw circles around your clit," Emma realized her voice sounded unsteady and dry, but she couldn't bother to care as Regina complied to her request without protest. Emma watched the muscles in Regina's arm quiver involuntarily, and felt her pelvis move into the motion of her fingers as she applied more pressure and speed with her fingers. Regina was adorable as she tried to muffle the happy little sounds bubbling out of her throat.
Regina gasped hard and felt her body rock harder against her hand. Emma grabbed her wrist, stopping her, "Slow down, not so fast. Not yet."
All of the mounting tension seeped from Regina's body and she groaned in frustration. She gritted her teeth as Emma pulled her hand away, and Regina's thighs clenched struggling for much needed friction and pressure. Emma readjusted her, bringing Regina's ass more firmly in contact with Emma's own heated center, effectively spreading both of their legs wider yet.
Emma was feeling extremely worked up. She wrapped her arms around Regina tighter, "Slap your pussy."
Regina didn't move, in fact she tensed up and looked at Emma in surprise.
"What you don't like that?" Emma's tone matched Regina's surprise, "Or… you've never tried it?" She added in conspiratorial thought.
Without waiting for a response, Emma reached between Regina's legs and shooed her hand away. She smacked her pussy with her open palm. Not hard enough to sting, but just enough to send vibrations and rippling pleasure through her core.
The reaction was instant, Regina drew a sharp breath, her body shaking and lurching from the indulgence, "Oh!"
Emma smiled and pressed a kiss to her stretched neck, and mumbled with gravelly certainty, "Yeah, you like that."
Emma raised her eyebrows and smacked her lips as she brought her hand down striking her a few more times in quick succession. Regina twisted in her arms moaning in pleasure.
"Back to work now," Emma forced Regina's hand back down, "Go inside for me."
Regina was eager now, impatient even. She dipped one finger inside and circled her entrance.
"You can do two. You're plenty ready," Emma told her eyes still focused on those now glazed fingers.
The shudder and muscle contraction echoed from Regina's body through Emma, as Regina fully sunk in to the knuckle.
"Like that…fuck yourself."
Emma had fantasized about telling Regina to go 'fuck herself' plenty of times, although never quite like this. Emma was far too captivated and aroused by the sight of long delicate fingers disappearing into wet, tight heat to see the irony.
Emma thrust her hips forward shaking Regina's ass and pushing her pelvis up to meet her hand and draw Regina's fingers in even deeper. Each contraction of fluttering muscles had Regina whining in need as her feet struggled to find purchase in the slick sheets.
Regina reached up with her free hand, grabbing at Emma's head and bashing their mouths together in a kiss that was all teeth and desperation. Emma sucked hard on her tongue almost to the point of pain. Regina's churning ass bouncing against Emma's pussy was too much. She had tried to remain in control and unaffected, but as she watched Regina's glistening fingers working in and out, occasionally rubbing frantically and imprecisely at her hard clit, Emma had to snake her own hand between their bodies to seek out her swollen needy sex. She started rubbing hard and fast as they rocked the mattress. The sheets popped off the corners of the bed, Emma held Regina against her to keep her from slipping down. Regina thrashed as she gave up control, and let herself feel every bit of Emma's hot skin against her back and every twist of her own fingers.
"Fuck, you feel so good," Emma cried, stifling her scream by biting Regina's shoulder and then delivering wet open mouthed kisses onto her sweaty back. Regina clawed at Emma's strong arm, urging her to grab her breasts, and Emma happily complied, pinching and rolling her nipples erratically, while trying through clenched teeth to keep her own hand on her sensitive clit as they bucked together wildly.
Regina came in frenzy: her whole body going rigid for a long moment before crashing hard and sagging against Emma. Emma rubbed at herself, grinding out the few final strokes she needed to come too.
Regina laid sweat soaked and limp, her head rolling against Emma's chest as she calmed down. The bed was a complete mess, wrinkled sheets and disheveled blankets, and Emma and Regina lay haphazardly in the middle. Regina swallowed, opening her eyes momentarily to look at Emma. Emma leaned in for a kiss, feeling blissful and in the mood for a sweet one. Regina kissed her back and their lips parted with a sticky pop.
Regina uttered a breathy 'ha' noise as she soaked in the heady endorphin release of her orgasm, "I hate that you saw me like that."
Emma drew Regina into a more substantial hug, reaching for a wayward blanket- she pulled it up around Regina's chest, neatly tucking them in. Emma recalled vividly the look in Regina's eyes at the moment of her climax: unrestrained and rapt in pleasure. It was truly the most erotic thing Emma had ever experienced the sight and feel had sent her sailing over her own edge.
"You were beautiful. I loved it," Emma murmured in all honesty, quickly kissing Regina again before she had the wherewithal to think better of it.
Regina hummed pleasantly in response, her face serene as she closed her eyes and allowed Emma to hold her.

Teammates show their bonds in many ways, whether by picking each other up after falls on the court or going out to dinner together on road trips. They're coworkers, but also often friends, and that means they sometimes get together outside of the team context, too. Some even go into business together.
Most, however, do not co-own horses. So it's something of a surprise to learn that Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol of the Los Angeles Lakers now own a horse together. The Associated Press has the details:
Bryant and Gasol bid against each other for an ownership stake in a 4-year-old gelding named*Siempre Mio*as part of a*Lakers Foundation fundraiser*at Riviera Country Club on Tuesday night.

Well I know there aren't actually ping pong balls, but the Celtics need some of that luck of the Irish to land a top-three choice in this year's NBA Draft.
The Boston Celtics history of recent lottery struggles is well-documented. They missed out on the No.1 pick in a draft that had a solid power forward from Wake Forest enter the NBA.
There was the 2001 NBA-Draft debacle where the C's had three first-round selections and took Joe Johnson (traded for Rodney Rogers and Tony Delk), Kedrick Brown (Who?), and Joe Forte (has done jail time). In that year they passed on Richard Jefferson, Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas, and ironically, Gerald Wallace.
Then in 2007, they ended up with the No. 5 pick in a year where a top-2 choice would have netted Greg Oden (I know) or Kevin Durant. They drafted Jeff Green, who was moved for Ray Allen and Glen Davis, and now Green is back in Celtic green disappointing the masses.
So that brings us to this year, where the Celtics are expected to get a top-five choice in this year's stacked draft class, along with a pick later in the first round. Before tonight's Eastern Conference Finals matchup between the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers, we will get to see if the C's can get one of the elite prospects from this year's class. Keep your fingers crossed, kiss your four-leaf clover, and rub that rabbit's foot because the Celts are going to need all the luck that they can get.

New Artist of the Week
On Tuesday I wrote the following about a newly-discovered Porcelain Raft track, "Put Me To Sleep":
"In search for newly-released music in 2012, I came across this dreamy-pop project from Londoner, Mauro Remiddi. "Put Me To Sleep" pulls you into its hazy, ethereal world and keeps you there, hypnotized & waiting for more."
Well, I got what I asked for after checking out a few more jams from this guy. It's official. I've found my fave new artist of the week. Possibly month. Possibly [insert time period].
"If you were looking to fill that subtly melancholy indie rock hole that's been vacant for so long, may we suggest Los Angeles duo Electric Guest. Sorry, make that 'subtly melancholy indie rock that's produced by hip-hop wunderkind Danger Mouse.'" -MTV discussing Electric Guest after having included them as one of the 12 artists to watch in 2012 amongst the likes of Lana Del Rey, A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, & Kendrick Lamar. Read the full article right here.
I may be a bit biased, given that 1 of the 2 members of Electric Guest is a friend. But I'm usually pretty objective in filtering the music I like &, regardless of this potential bias, I really think these guys are going to be huge. Lovely work, Asa. You can check out their tour schedule and listen to a couple tracks here.

I spent most of the day looking for the nobles of Silencia, who as far as I knew had been moved to gentler accommodation than the dockside taverns. I couldn't find them. In fact, most of the inns and taverns were empty and quiet! A few beside the docks housed fresh arrivals, but those were all the Silencians I found.
They couldn't have all been sent to the lurkers, or they'd have resisted and rebelled… so I had to go and ask about them. The lord of Molash said that everyone had been moved to better housing in the capital, where there was more room for them. And, I suppose, it's easier to keep count of them if they are kept in specific quarters.
I hope I'm just having a bad dream. The Brucians, Jarbians, Carapacians, and other Silencians had never had any quarrel with the Bechians, did they? In fact, I thought Bechia was under Brucian rule. Perhaps my fears are misplaced and undeserved. They might be taking the burden of a swollen population upon themselves, for all I know. How hasty a judge I am. And yet… it all feels so wrong – the welcoming arms of the Bechians, the calm disinterest when I told the guards about the lurkers, the messenger boy whipped for bringing me old texts from an ancient archive…
I hope Eliana and her father are facing better results for their endeavors… because if I'm right, Bechia is a death trap, and we'll need to return to the mainland. The evil there, at least, is new – whereas here it has been festering, growing fatter and darker for years. I hope lurkers are the only things here; if there's a dragon… well there are more dragons on the mainland. Which is worse? A rampaging nation of dragons, or a lone dragon that has grown unhindered for Maker-knows-how-long? But now I'm just getting worked up over nothing. There was no mention of a dragon or anything similar in the texts.

Electrical issue caused fire that gutted two Granite Terrace apartments
GRANITE QUARRY An electrical issue is being blamed for the fire that gutted two apartments in Granite Terrance on Wednesday.
Granite Quarry Fire Marshal Mark Troublefield said investigators determined the fire started in an outlet box in apartment No. 8, which is on the left end of the five-unit building.
It took firefighters about 30 minutes to get the blaze under control.
Property manager Nate Chambers said the two end apartments are destroyed and its unlikely the people who live there will be able to salvage anything.
Its a total loss, he said. You just feel awful for them, its so sad they have to go through this.
Chambers said people who live in the other three apartments will likely be able to save most of their belongings, despite water and smoke damage.
The firefighters did a really good job moving everything to the middle of the room and covering it with a tarp to protect it from water, he said.
The tenants of all five apartments have been displaced. They are currently receiving help from the local chapter of the American Red Cross.
Its too soon to say whether anyone will be able to move back into the building.
Were kind of at the mercy of the insurance companies at this point, Chambers said. Were waiting to see what they are going to tell us.
Chambers said he thinks the structure will be able to undergo repairs, but its possible it will have to be torn down and completely rebuilt.
We have to make sure before we would let somebody move back in that its safe, he said.

Robert Nieminen,Editor
Breathing new life into an old building always makes for a good story. Not only does adaptive reuse extend the life of a space and contribute to more sustainable communities, but also, it can transform a bleak, decrepit building into a beautiful, hospitable place to be.
That was certainly the case with Boston's newly renovated Liberty Hotel, the subject of this issue's cover story. Once a 19th century prison, the aptly named Liberty Hotel stands in stark contrast to its previous life as the Charles Street Jail and artfully blends historic architecture with a contemporary design aesthetic.
Although it's typically a more costly approach than new construction, adaptive reuse seems to be catching on in many parts of the country. "People are beginning to value historic buildings," says the Liberty Hotel project's principal-in-charge, Gary Johnson, AIA, of Cambridge Seven Associates in Cambridge, MA. "In Boston in particular, due to the historic fabric of the city, there is interest in maintaining existing building stock, bringing these buildings to current standards." And as contributing writer Elzy Kolb notes, with the current interest in the greening of America, the rest of the country is likely to follow suit with adaptive reuse projects such as the Liberty Hotel.
I hope she's right, because there is a much greater opportunity to make an impact on our national environmental footprint with existing buildings than with new ones. According to a recent New York Times report titled, "Green Buildings Don't Have to Be New," new buildings "represent a small fraction of the nation's estimated 4.5 million commercial properties, many of which were erected decades ago before sustainable, or green, designs became de rigueur."
In fact, combining preservation and sustainability is a key mission for practitioners like Whitney Powers, AIA, principal of Studio A Architecture, who says "the sheer number of older, existing buildings represents a much larger opportunity to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions that contribute to global warming than the comparatively small number of new structures erected each year."
Powers explains in a recent press release that "the real challenge for LEED® in the future, especially with regards to historic preservation, comes with recognition of the nuances that relate to regional differences in construction and the use of natural energies. Knowledge of these differences in energy demands, materials and durability will spell the maturing of the LEED system with regards to historic preservation," she adds.
In our ongoing effort to help design practitioners better understand and identify green materials and products, Interiors & Sources, in partnership with the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), proudly announced the introduction of The Bloom Awards at the NeoCon® World's Trade Fair in Chicago this past June. The Bloom Awards will recognize products that exemplify sustainability and innovation in the interior design of commercial spaces. Submissions will be judged by a panel of distinguished industry professionals comprised of ASID members and Interiors & Sources editors. The winners will be announced at Greenbuild in Boston, November 19-21.
Speaking of great products on the market, don't miss our NeoCon Product Wrap-Up. This section features several of the many fantastic products at the show that caught our attention. As you might expect, NeoCon was brimming with an array of new product offerings that were truly outstanding, and green products continued to flourish throughout the Mart.
Trends we noticed here in the editorial department included a distinct influence from the residential sector in healthcare environments (and even in corporate environments in some cases); a rethinking of the way we interpret collaborative work with an emphasis on more relaxed and flexible seating and teaming areas; a continued move toward lower panel heights in workstations to allow for daylight; and innovative uses of space and technology to optimize comfort and productivity. While nature-inspired patterns were still prevalent, we noticed a more literal interpretation of forms this year in various products, including fabrics and carpet.
Lastly, I would like to thank those who have expressed concern for us here at Stamats Business Media following the recent flooding in Iowa. Despite the physical damage to our headquarters in Cedar Rapids, the extraordinary dedication and unwavering resolve displayed by Stamats employees has ensured that all daily business operations continue to perform at optimal levels. We are already rebuilding what has been lost—preserving what we can from the past while looking toward a positive future.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2014
Where did the English Narron family come from? What is the English Narron family crest and coat of arms? When did the Narron family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Narron family history?The Narron surname is a habitational name, taken on from any of several places, such as Northcott in Devon. These place names are derived from the Old English words "norð," meaning "north," and "cot," meaning a "cottage," or "shelter."
Spelling variations of this family name include: Northcott, Norcott, Norcutt, Northcutt, Northcote and others.
