LoneStarStruck.com Mock Draft 2.0
1. Miami Dolphins – DE Chris Long – Virginia – SR 6'3 266lbs. (With Glenn Dorsey's health issues coming into play lately, this seems the logical choice for a Bill Parcell's type pick and guy.)
2. St Louis Rams – OT Jake Long – Michigan – SR 6'7 335 lbs. (With all the problems on the offensive line for the Rams, they would be dummy's for letting Long get passed them, for he can be the anchor of that O-line for the next 10 years.)
3. Atlanta Falcons – QB Matt Ryan – Boston College – SR 6'4 228 lbs. (With Falcon fans still reeling from the Michael Vick saga, QB is the biggest need for this organization. Playing QB Roulette last year with has-beens as well didn't help the cause.)
4. Oakland Raiders – RB Darren McFadden – Arkansas – JR 6'1 211 lbs. (The Raiders need a Star at Running Back. With McFadden's speed and size, Al Davis would be a total moron not to draft the Best running back of the 2008 draft.)
5. Kansas City Chiefs – DT Glenn Dorsey – LSU – SR 6'1 310 lbs. (The Chiefs have pressing needs in many areas but D-Line is one of the biggest.)
6. New York Jets – DT Sedrick Ellis – USC – SR 6'0 309 lbs. (The Jets had absolutely no pass rush in 2007. Selecting Ellis not only makes sense but the guy can dominate the inside forcing teams who use a ground game to go vertical more often than they want.)
7. New England Patriots – DE Vernon Gholston – Ohio State – SR 6'4 255lbs. (With New England getting a taste of the blitz happy New York Giants in Super Bowl 42, the aging Patriots LB Core could use a shot of the fountain of youth and return the favor to opposing offenses in 2008.)
8. Baltimore Ravens – QB Brian Brohm – Louisville – SR 6'3 230lbs. (With the Ravens pressing need at QB and the ever vigilant legs of Steve McNair no longer running, Brohm seems the logical pick for the Ravens.)
9. Cincinnati Bengals – OLB Keith Rivers – USC – SR 6'3 232 lbs. (With the Bengals defense getting torched last year due to a non-existent pass rush, Rivers play-making ability is a welcomed sigh of relief.)
10. New Orleans Saints – CB Aqib Talib – Kansas – JR 6'2 205 lbs. (The Saints should be not only ecstatic but should be counting their blessings that Talib fell this far. Talib immediately starts and helps a defense that gave up the big play way too often in 2007.)
11. Buffalo Bills – WR Malcolm Kelly – Oklahoma – JR 6'4 224 lbs. (With the Bills not having a big play threat opposite Lee Evans this pick immediately supplies Trent Edwards with a possession receiver who can move the sticks.)
12. Denver Broncos – OT Ryan Clady – Boise State – JR 6'6 320 lbs. (With Jay Cutler's blindside not really protected, Clady provides protection against elite NFL pass rushers immediately.)
13. Carolina Panthers – RB Rashard Mendenhall – Illinois – JR 5'11 225lbs. (With DeShaun Foster no longer a Panther, Mendenhall gives the Panthers that Brian Westbrook Philadelphia element to the offense.)
14. Chicago Bears – QB Joe Flacco – Delaware (1AA)- SR 6'6 231 lbs. (With all the problems the Bears have had in past few years at QB, Flacco immediately comes in and give Grossman a run for his money. Flacco displayed the best and strongest arm at the NFL Combine.)
15. Detroit Lions – CB Leodis McKelvin – Troy – SR 5'11 186lbs. (With the Lions pretty solid on offense, the Detroit secondary needs help badly. McKelvin brings that help immediately.)
16. Arizona Cardinals – CB Mike Jenkins – South Florida – SR 5'11 200 lbs. (Rated as the best cover corner in many draft boards, Jenkins will make an impact early and often in the Cardinal's secondary.)
17. Minnesota Vikings – DE/OLB Derrick Harvey – Florida- JR 6'4 269lbs. ( The Vikings need pass rushers, enough said.)
18. Houston Texas – RB Jonathon Stewart – Oregon – JR 5'11 233 lbs. (With the Texans solid at QB and WR, Stewart would bring defenses to respect the running for once in the Texans history.)
19. Philadelphia Eagles – WR DeSaun Jackson – California – JR 5'9 169 lbs. (With the Eagles offense lacking any big play receivers ever since T.O. left, Jackson's speed will stretch defenses.)
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – WR Mario Manningham – Michigan – JR 6'0 188 lbs. (With the Bucs offense lacking a complimentary receiver to Joey Galloway in 2007, teams doubled him in the latter part of the season. Manningham will provide Galloway much needed relief and could eventually replace him.)
21. Washington Redskins – FS Kenny Phillips – Miami – JR 6'2 210 lbs. ( With the tragic loss of Sean Taylor, the redskins will once again have one of the best one two punch at safety in the NFL with Phillips and Landry.)
22. Dallas Cowboys – WR Limas Sweed – Texas – SR 6'4 214 lbs. (With T.O. & T.G. both in their mid-30's, Sweed's youth and potential automatically threatens Crayton's 3rd spot.)
23. Pittsburgh Steelers – OT Chris Williams – Vanderbilt – SR 6'6 321 lbs. (Considered by many to be the most athletically gifted tackle in the draft, Williams's stock rose after Pitt's Jeff Otah had a bad NFL Combine.)
24. Tennessee Titans – WR James Hardy – Indiana – JR 6'6 220 lbs. (Having the best size of any receiver in the draft, Hardy will provide the possession receiver that Vince Young has sorely missed since his Texas days.)
25. Seattle Seahawks – TE Dustin Keller – Purdue – SR 6'3 244 lbs. (Seattle has never had a great pass catching TE and Keller has been the most consistent pass catching TE in college football in the past 2 years. Need anything more?)
26. Jacksonville Jaguars – RB Felix Jones – Arkansas – JR 5'10 210 lbs. (Even though RB Fred Taylor was voted to his first Pro bowl, he isn't getting any younger. The Jaguars going to the 2 back system will add some burst to Taylor's legs in the latter part of the season.)
27. San Diego Chargers – OT Gosder Cherilus – Boston College – SR 6'7 315 lbs. (Upgrading an aging O-Line would be the Chargers best bet.)
28. Dallas Cowboys – CB Dominique Rod
gers – Cromartie – T
ennessee State – SR 6'2 185 lbs. (With the Boys having no solid back-up's to Newman and Henry, Cromartie becomes the grasshopper to Newman.)
29. San Francisco 49ers (*via trade with Colts) – WR Devin Thomas – Michigan State – JR 6'2 220 lbs. (With the 49ers lacking any star receivers, Thomas is the best receiver left on the board. He is tall and can run the deep pattern.)
30. Green Bay Packers – TE Fred Davis – USC – SR 6'5 252 lbs. (With Bubba Franks no longer a Packer, TE is a priority if Green Bay doesn't want to become one dimensional.)
31. New England Cheatriots – (Picked forfeited due to Spy Gate Scandal by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.)
32. New York Giants – LB Dan Conner – Penn State – SR 6'3 233 lbs. (Very versatile linebacker who broke school records at Penn. Could be moved inside and outside. The Giants would love this guy.)
I dont agree with parts of this. Joe Flacco and Brian Brohm won't even sniff the first round
I am in a agreement on going after another WR or two. I know T.O. will get the job done unless (God forbid) he gets injured. I still have my doubts about Glenn at this point. I just didn't see enough of him after his recovery to make up my mind. The truth is with T.O. and Glenn at the age they are, we need to plan for the future. I think we need to draft a couple of other WRs to make all our current receivers step up a notch and play their best. Nothing like another good back that could take you job to make you play better.
This is all so over my head but I wanted to tell you it's cool that you put it up here.
And the graphic is awesome!!
Good Job on the Mock Draft Fred! I would absolutely love for the draft to play out like your mock, especially for the Cowboys! I've had an opportunity to watch all of the elite college WRs and personally feel that Limas Sweed's learning curve will be shorter than the other wideouts. As for Rodgers-Cromartie, I think his upside is enormous; he has great size and blazing speed. There were questions about the level of competition he faced at Tennessee State as well as his willingness to provide run support. He answered both at the Senior Bowl.

Go to..
I have this reel on a Sage One 9ft/4wt and its a great go to set up. The smoothness of the reel and large arbor make it perfectly weighted and a great fighter for the smallest, or biggest fish you can convince to eat your fly.
This is one I'll keep for a lifetime.
Why didn't I buy this sooner?!
Cole VandenAkker
Love this reel. Using it with a Sage One 9ft/5wt and it's fantastic. The large arbor is a no-brainer. Simple and smooth drag settings for a wide variety of fish. Enclosed system ensures you won't run into issues with the elements. The bead blast bronze color is awesome.
Light, smooth, and durable
Brandon Collett
Tried this reel a couple weeks ago on a Sage One 4 wt w/ a RIO Gold on it. Could not have asked for a better set up for our Green Drake hatch here in Utah. This reel is light, smooth, and durable. The drag adjustments are perfect for fighting the fish of your life or a small stream brookie. The enclosed drag system is very smooth and stays smooth since dirt and grim can't get in there.

The Sage 4200 Series Fly Reel is amazing! Im one that takes care of all of my gear, but my buddy has the same reel as me, and does not take such good care of his stuff.. Anyways, the reel is durable! Smooth drag and a great feel makes the 4200 a very popular reel in the rivers around my house in Heber City, Utah. Mine is a 5 weight, paired with a 9 foot Sage Vantage rod, The very best, while not breaking the bank! Love my reel and I recommend it to anyone who is in the market! You'll be hooked on sage.

A Homeschooler Takes the Prize ... Again
- Sunday, July 27, 2003
As the 2003 National Geographic Bee Champion, Williams was awarded a U.S. $25,000 college scholarship, a lifetime membership to National Geographic, and one week at Sea World-Busch Gardens Adventure camp, presented by corporate sponsor ING.
He and the other state winners were taken to the White House to watch the helicopter land and President Bush disembark, wave at the crowd, and disappear into a building. Another fun part of the bee is the picnic held after the preliminaries. After a week of hard work at the geography bee, and being in the National Science Olympiad in Ohio the week before, a picnic was just the thing James needed to relax and have fun, spending down time with his new friends. At the Olympiad, his team placed 24th overall and he won 9th place in the map reading event.
Since James and his siblings are not television viewers, he tried not to think about his being on TV for the bee - just to avoid personal nervousness. He enjoyed meeting Alex Trebek, but hadn't a clue who news correspondent Katie Couric was, and the round of interviews after the win was near-daunting: the "Today" show, CNN, a later-cancelled CBS request, and an inquiry from the "Late Show with David Letterman."
How has it changed his life? "I've learned a lot about geography and have an increased interest in it. I had fun through the bee, and I'm learning how to interview better. I'm trying to get better at interviews." In our view, at 14 and a national champion, James is holding his own quite nicely.
To find out how you can start a homeschool geography bee in your area, you can visit the official website at www.nationalgeographic.com/geographybee. With the newness of homeschoolers' involvement, the rules are evolving to include them, while still giving them parameters similar to those of public and private schools. Membership in a local homeschool group is not required, but you need to form a bee for all the homeschoolers in your area. To make the bee even more fun, ask area restaurants and businesses to donate small items - a free pizza or a small world atlas - and use these as door prizes for each contestant. A parent of a contestant cannot run the bee, but can help organize and assist in making it run smoothly. Geography bees need to be held before February each year, since state contests are held in April, with the National Geographic Geography Bee held at the end of May.

The Teesside Small Gauge Railway (TSGR) is a miniature railway located in the grounds of Preston Hall Museum, Stockton-On-Tees . It is run by volunteers, primarily with an interest in model engineering, but also devoting much effort to running trains for the public during the summer.
The TSGR was first formed in the early 90s by a group of hobbyists who wanted to make a running line for their locomotives [locos] and a workshop to build and maintain the locos. The line, however, was built with the public in mind and included a small station with a ticket office from the outset.
During the running season, passengers enjoy two laps around our large, horseshoe shaped, ground level running line and can enjoy seeing both the electric and steam trains in operation.
Note: Steam locomotives emit soot and small amounts of oil and water which may mark clothing.
The Teesside Small Gauge Railway is a company limited by guarantee - Registered No. 3630949

Greetings and may you have good fortune, good food, and meet interesting
Some new updates and be sure to check out the grey hawk tribute game,
once it is done. The player studio stuff with be up to SOE since it has to go
through the same process as any other player. No images until they are done.
I am an Artist first and foremost, this holds true in Technology and Art. As
troubleshooting is more of an art than a science. You can know every common
answer and you will still find some one with a weird piece of hardware. I find
knowing the why helps more than the how. For me it is about making your brain
think instead of mindlessly putting square pegs in square holes. When you stop
learning you start dying and personally I find my self more awake and alive when
I'm learning something new. I recently started working with Modo. It is very similar
to Maya but it is the little things you find yourself looking for that make it a new
experience. Some things are better, some are worse, and some are just different.
I've been going back over old code I have written to see how I would write it now
and find that some of the stuff I did was crazy, it worked and was efficient but no
one would be able to maintain it since I did not bother with most of the
documentation and used the black box method where I kept the functions separate
from main truck. Now I tend to include more info in the main truck so I can replace
a function that is not worth rewriting. I still hate debugging code so I'm only writing
code where I need to.
I'm artist and always have been since I was little kid playing with play dough and
finger paints. There is drive to create emotion and reaction. I find building 3D
objects in Maya relaxing because at the end of the day it is solvable problem.
Many problems in technology don't have fixes. I did not mind this when I working
for the military because they were more logical about it than normal end users.
Either it worked or it did not. Their was always a solution even if you had to throw
money at it to fix it, like replacing bad hardware or re-writing legacy code. Some
times the solution was to make the old hardware work with wishes and duck tape.
I have worked in many different packages, everything from Blender to Rhino to
Max to Maya, and when it comes down to it most create objects as points in space,
be it nurbs, polys or sub-ds. It is the tools that change and how flexible they are.
Some programs require you to adapt to their ideal work flow and others like Maya
allow you to create an ideal interface creating a faster work flow. As you can infer
from that I prefer being able to put the tools I use at my finger tips rather than
whatever the programmer who will never use the tools thought would be handy.
Last my background as a IT troubleshooting, I am familiar with the complexity of
how software works. Most of the time it does what you want the rest of the time you
tweak things until it does what you want. Then again at the end of the day no
matter what I build the question of does it look good, and was it done before it was
needed is really all that matters.

Sylvain Guintoli's pole time at Laguna was 1'22.683. That would of been good enough to put him through Q1 and 12th on the Motogp grid. The only CRT faster was Espargaro. If you put Guintoli on Bridgestones how much faster would he go? Easily faster than Espagaro and he would of only needed to gain 0.7sec to of put him 8th on the motogp grid . What's the point of CRTs again?
If you link this to the Nicky Hayden comments elsewhere, if there is 5 of these Production Hondas on the grid next year then Ducati will struggle to get any bikes out of Q1.

As for mm , he ( I hope this dosent happen ) is going to have a big big off if he dosent calm down , or mm is going to couse a nasty pile up between some riders and himself.
JL let him past at the last race , not a good sign I say.

You won't get any debate with me as to the CRT's, CH97. This was yet another Dorna/Ezpeleta brain fart "inflicted" on peak-level GP racing – along with Moto 2 bikes that, engine-wise, are a far lower spec & less powerful than their first cousins in 600cc WSS.
Some other comments, knowing the proclivity of so many MCN readers to immediately jump to incorrect quantum conclusions. Let's disabuse them of their often serially wrong ideas?
Sylvain Guintoli is a fine rider but has had his time in the GP sun – 6 years in 250cc GP & then 2007 (Tech Trois Yamaha) & 2008 (Pramac Ducati) in MotoGP – historical fact. Nothing personal, but a best result of 6th in Germany in 2008 partly explains why he didn't get a contract renewal & went BSB in 2009. At one circuit where he was struggling on the Desmo, he was shown Casey Stoner's comparative Desmo data & pronounced this as simply "Unbelievable!"
His BSB career suffered with injury aftermath from Josh Brookes' collision @ Donington. Incidentally, this was serially & savagely misreported, even Wikipedia still hasn't corrected the record, but it is excellent many more people are now truly aware of what "really happened" in this incident. Politics, marketing & corporate pride produce twisted values at times - blaming the individual & not the machinery or mechanical fettling of same ...
Anyone following my posts over the last 4+years would be aware that I was in the Team that conceived, created, started & ran WSBK. I have oft-complained the concept was NOT to see teams having to lob-up with 1 Million pound + machinery to be competitive – then have that 2nd bike & huge raft of spares etc. Insanity! That WSBK specs are to be more akin to an elevated form of Super-Stock is far more truly in-tune with the original concept & intention – as dreamed & realised by Steve McLaughlin & all else involved.
CRT was a "political sop" playing on fond recall of F1 bikes past – tuned motors in bespoke frames etc - these "hybrids" are simply not up to modern full-on factory machinery. Dorna should have tried to "induce" MMSA to produce "production racers" along the lines of HRC's V-Twin NSR500V raced 1996 – 2001 & good enough to Win some circuits & create merry hell @ others for the V4 full factory jobs.
Great to see HRC showing such initiative & ability with their latest "take" on the subject. What a supreme luxury to have Stoner as Tester who can "push" HRC's creations to the very limit & far harder than any mere mortal can. No wonder Marquez is a very happy camper just now!
One last point, CH97: be very careful indeed even hypothesising on WSBK V MotoGP tyres. Over & over again, history has shown that the "radical build carcase stiffness & feel" differences between these have "ambushed" many an aspiring SBK rider's step-up to GP. Throw Bridgestones on SG's Aprilia & he would very likely immediately LOSE 2+ seconds per Lap while his bike chatters, twists & bucks – so it 'aint necessarily so. Cheers
PS: Trailler – absolute rubbish. "Parade Lap" only for Stoner with Gardner & Doohan!

They say you dont know you youve got till its gone.... and with Casey that was certainly true. Long did he go unappreciated by the masses when he was in motogp (shamedly myself included) then left the sport and actually left a void.

I expect any Ducati desmo rider being shown Stoners data would say it was 'unbelievable' given the comparative performances of all other desmo riders.
With reference to the original concept of WSBK - the reason we got to where we are now with cost would be because of each teams desire to win therefore technical development and innovation is a natural process. Not saying that is right - it's just the way it is.

With national signing day finally here, Syracuse football will have a great idea of the shape of the program going forward following some commitments that will be made today. The Orange currently have 17 committed players that have either signed a letter of intent or are enrolled in the University, and five players who are verbally committed. One of those verbal commits is star Malik Brown, who has opened up the idea of backing away from the Orange since the departure of Doug Marrone to the Buffalo Bills. Brown will be deciding between Syracuse, South Florida, and Tennessee today, and is undoubtedly the focus of Syracuse fans everywhere. Here is a list of the current commitments to the football program:
- Aaron Batten, TE — Hialeah, FLA

This will in all likelihood be my last contribution to the socio-rhetorical series of Eerdmans. It will be out in the Fall.
A One-Stop Shop for All Things Biblical and Christian
This will in all likelihood be my last contribution to the socio-rhetorical series of Eerdmans. It will be out in the Fall.
Ben, are you just insanely productive by gifting? Or is there another secret to the great productivity. Your series on Ehrman is proving very illuminating. Thanks!
Also, I'm particularly desirous of finding an Old Testament scholar you would recommend. Someone versed both in the history and theology, a committed Christian, and active in the field. I wonder if you have any suggestions on this? You shed a lot of light on the NT — it would be nice to have another 'you' for the OT :). All glory to God, of course. :). Thanks!
Boy am I happy about this volume! It will be a great edition to Fee, O'brien and even Barth! Thanks Ben!
Dear Ben, I just bought your Socio-Rhetorical commentary on Acts. Totally awesome! Outstanding scholarship and clearly presented. May God continue to bless your life and ministry.
Sincerely, Steve
Congratulations, Ben – I'm looking forward to it!
Kwesi there are some very fine Evangelical OT scholars to commend, including two of my colleagues— Bill Arnold and Sandy Richter. Start with Bill's Genesis commentary and her Eden book with IVP.
Excuse my ignorance…socio-rhetorical?
Hey Ben,
I hope this is because you've gone through all the NT books for this series [I think so] or, maybe, because Eerdman's isn't doing more; and not because of the "I'm old" issue which you've referred to in several recent posts. I'm three years older than you ole son [born 1948 to your 1951 if sources serve...]… I've had the great pleasure of reading all of your books [pretty much] and you've only just begun [as, indeed, have my humble self]! I hope you will pen some sort of summary "theology" of your own experience/knowledge [your two big books recently have been along that thread]. I'm a "lay" person theologically and an "academic" in social work and human services and also a "published poet". And you have vastly helped me integrate the two for students and "client" citizens. Anyway, thanks, ole bean; I pray you'll continue with your amazing writing "output" in the always pastoral context you kindly provide [at what dear cost to your good self I'd only imagine...]
yrs, alwaz [as Rob Bell mite seh] -
Lyn – a socio-rhetorical commentary would mainly concern the 1. social and cultural context, which allows us to examine the world of the people involved and understand how they would have received the text (in this way we don't read our situations into their 1900 year old letters) and 2. rhetorical concerns of the text itself that allow us to see how the author utilized the writing conventions of the day to convey ideas (for example, how the parts of the letter/writing function).
This is based on my limited understanding of what socio-rhetorical commentaries are about, but I wanted to toss it out there and let the good Dr correct me where wrong.
BW3 – out of curiosity, how much will this commentary differing from your previous Philippians commentary?
YES! Too bad it's not already out so I can use it on this huge directed research project I'm writing, which in particular focuses on Phil 2.
Yo, Daniel – I did a paper last year on Phil 2. Depending on what you're getting into, I might be able to point you to some helpful sources. Also, like mentioned before, BW3 has a previous Philippians commentary out.
Hi Dr Ben,
Since you have been a student of rhetoric and author of fictional/non-fictional books, have you come across the works of
Roger Rosenblatt author of 'Unless It Moves the Human Heart' & Stanley Fish author of 'How to Write A Sentence'?
Charlie Rose has an interview with them:
Might be helpful for your novel series
CJ Tan
C.J. thanks for the lead, and everyone thanks for the comments. The difference in this volume is both depth and breadth. It is not a dramatically different take than I did before, but there are plenty of fresh insights— my favorite new bit has to do with dogs
This is the second or third time I recall your mentioning Sandra Richter (#6 above). After the last time I recall, I went a-browsing and found some of her talks online (including a current series on "The Epic of Eden" presented at Wesley Chapel/Wesley Biblical Seminary and a series on the book of Ruth presented at Redwood Christian Park). I listened to the Ruth series and I was hooked. Dr. Richter really brought the story to life. As soon as the "Epic" series is complete (two talks to go), I'll load it on my iPod and start listening. I can hardly wait! Thanks for bringing Dr. Richter to my attention.
She's lightning in a bottle and we are about to do an Introduction to the whole Bible together, called The Bible from the Ground Up for Oxford, to be used in colleges, seminaries and churches, viewing the Bible from the point of view of faith.
Hot dog!! I'll start saving up now.
I just found the prospectus online and am reading that.
Danny D,
I'm doing two papers that Philippians 2 is a huge part of. One paper is about the Second Temple Judaic concept of monotheism and then implications of this on Christological language in the New Testament. Second paper is a critical exegesis of Philippians 2:3-11
I've never found Dr. Witherington's old commentary on Philippians. Do you know where it is?
Friendship and Finances in Philippi is the name of my small earlier commentary.
Sheesh! You write books faster than I can read 'em!!!
You should really check out the Don Miller review of love wins – I think you'll like the punchline!
Daniel – I did a textual reliability paper on those same Phil verses. If you want info on it to use the resources/biblio, hit me up at firstname.lastname@example.com. To assuage any worry, I got an A on it, I wouldn't try to smuggle info from a C paper haha!
Graham where is Don Miller's review? I'd love to see it.
Thanks Danny #9. Makes sense now, just didn't know the jargon. Been out of seminary for quite some time. We used to call this textual-historical criticism a la Joachim Jeremias.
Dr. Witherington,
I believe I have all your commentaries but one, do you happen to have one written on Luke? I feel incomplete and lost without a Luke.

My silly thoughts about jam.
- val ann c Oct 2, 2007 07:59 PM
Don't you hate it when you open a new jar of jam, and the jam is neither great nor terrible. The jam is just OK. If it was terrible, you would throw it away or return it to the store. If it was great, you would enjoy it and it would disappear quickly.
The just OK jam sits in the fridge for months. While the potentially great jams wait unopened in the pantry.
Right now I have two just OK jams in my fridge: Crofters Four Fruit Conserve and Mediterranean Organic Peach Apricot Preserves. The Mediterranean Organic is too sweet -- the sugar overpowering the fruit flavor. The Crofters tastes fruity, but it has that baby-food flavor that sometimes occurs when you blend several fruits.
In my pantry waits a jar of homemade peach jam, purchased at the farmers market. Oh when will the just OK jam be emptied?
I go to Whole Foods and there are a zillion jams. Most of them are expensive. How do I know which ones are great?
I feel your pain, and am stuck in the same morass. I'd love to hear hounds' recommendations for great jams.
As for the too-sweet mediocre stuff--I've found that a great use is mixed in to plain yogurt. The sweetness is cut by and complements the tart yogurt. Yogurt, jam, flax seeds, and walnuts is my new standard breakfast, and I love it.
I would be happy to recommend some of the jams I like, but first I would like to know what do you like? Do you have a brand that you really like as a gauge?
And what flavors appeal to you?
It is great that we can test taste the jam at Farmer's Markets!
And guess what, you can also taste the jam at Whole Food.
Just tell them you've never had it before, and are tired of buying jams you don't like.
They will be happy to sample it for you.
Several uses for that jam:
I used it to concoct a homemade BBQ sauce
Mix with cream cheese to frost cupcakes
Use it in baked BBQ beans
I personally don't care for this, but I know alot of folks rave over them at parties:
Cocktail weenies, smoked sausage & meatballs in BBQ Sauce made with jam or jelly or just the jelly as a sauce. Google some recipes.
Also, my mama used to spread jam between cake layers while still hot.
My favorite jams and jellies right now are from Berkshire Berries - I buy them at the Union Square farmer's market in Manhattan, but they have a website as well - http://www.berkshireberries.com/ . I'm positively addicted to their Berry Golden Raspberry jam.
The cheaper jams that I tend to get are the Hero brand (Swiss) and the French brand, the name of which is escaping me, I think it has a checkered top?
re: MMRuth
Bonne Mamma, I think. And I share your issues about jam! A good use for the mediocre jam is to use it to fill a cake, or maybe bake some thumbprint cookies and give them away.
re: JasmineG
Bonne Maman. I like all of their varieties that I've tried (which is not all of them), and the jars are nice for re-use. Crofters I find wildly unpredictable, have quit trying.
Not the same topic, but my pet peeve with jams is the tall narrow jars so many brands are using, that you can't get to the bottom of without an iced-tea spoon.
re: cmkdvs
Agreed re: Crofters! Some have been good, some not - but can't remember which was which, so just stopped buying that brand.
Great ideas on how to use up the mediocre jams. My frugal side often won't allow me to throw out foodstuff until they have become candidates for biology experiments.
re: cmkdvs
Yes - that's it - Bonne Maman. I've never heard of Crofters. I also have some Hediard jams in my refrigerator, and some lovely Italian ones - will look and post the brand.
i try to get rid of such jam so that i may move on to better jam.
for instance, i once hid some terrible grape jam in a blueberry pie. noone knew the difference. the apricot one i would think may be nice made into a danish with cream cheese. and the jam cake solution is also tasty.
You can also use up mediocre jam in swedish meatballs and meatloaf glaze. My typical meatloaf glaze is pepper jelly and ketchup and perhaps a little horseradish, but really, anything works. And there's that swedish meatball recipe that uses a jar of grape jelly, but again, anything but mint works there, too.
I don't buy supermarket jams often. I stick to farmers markets where you can sample. In addition to getting a trial run you are eating local and supporting a small business.
You might post a query about specific jams you are interested in from Whole Foods.
If I do get tempted by a jam I didn't sample and it is a dud, then in additio to mixing it into yogurt, you can also mix it into oatmeal. Use it for some things that call for honey. Orange marmelades are good mixed with sweet potatoes.
If you are interested in mail order June Taylor from the SF area makes some very good jellies and jams.
I enjoy the Sarabeth preserves: http://www.sarabethsbakery.com/ These are easily found at most upscale-ish markets.
I do wish, however, that rather than her combination flavors, they would produce single fruit flavors such as: raspberry or apricot.
Also, my favorite dependable jar is Bonne Maman raspberry.
val ann c -- You have articulated a problem for all of us Hounds who are anxious to try new products/tastes/textures. It could be anything. This is why I enjoy some of our Los Angeles ethnic markets which have a lot of activity with tastes in the aisles. Always, there are tables set up with new products (new to me!) and it's a great way to expand one's menu. I think more markets are "catching on" to this, as I see Whole Foods and others quite willing to open something for a customer's taste-test...at least I hope so!
OP here.
Thanks for all your replies. Such great ideas on how to use up the below-average jams!
Our favorite jam flavors are apricot, strawberry, peach, orange marmalade. I love a good cherry jam. Not so much for the plums or berries. I am seeking a really good strawberry jam. If I recall correctly, Bonne Maman strawberry jam is pretty good and a good price. I would love a heavenly strawberry jam, organically grown, sweetened with cane sugar. It would probably cost a small fortune.
I agree with the poster who complained about the bothersome narrow jars.
Great idea to ask Whole Foods to give me a sample. I will definitely do that. I'll see if They'll open a jar of Sarabeth or Stonewall Kitchen. If they cant' provide a sample, maybe I'll buy a jar and return it if I don't like it.
I've seen the June Taylor jams. They are pricey. If they have a one-fruit flavor, maybe I'll splurge.
My local farmers market has one vendor who makes preserves. Her organically-grown peach jam is wonderful. Her other jams are flavor combos (i.e. kiwi/blackberry or blueberry/lime) and tend to be too stiff or too loose, and she's still tweaking the flavor combinations. She does provide samples.
I'm so happy to be chatting with folks who care about jam!
re: val ann c
I can't believe I forgot Sarabeth's - we always (well, unless my husband polishes it off on top of ice cream) have that around. Strangely, it's cheaper at places other than the Sarabeth's around the corner from me!
re: val ann c
June Taylor has the best cherry jam I ever tasted in my life. It has the taste of true bing cherries. Most cherry jam doesn't taste true to the fresh fruit flavor, IMO. This year she had an exceptional apricot, but I forgot which one it was. If I'm at the farmers market again I'll give them a taste and let you know which one.
re: rworange
Hi, rworange!
Do you know if June Taylor (wasn't she an actress from the 50's?!!) distributes in our Southern Cal markets? I don't think I have ever seen it at Gelson's, Bristol Farms or Whole Foods. Perhaps I would find it -- wasn't looking for it -- at some of the restaurants that have an attached catering business or shop: Joan's on Third or Julienne's. Thanks for any info that you have on where I might find it...besides online. I will check their website as well.
re: liu
Not the same dancer/choreographer from the Jackie Gleason show. Different June Taylor.
Here's where you can buy it in SOCAL from the JT website
re: rworange
June Taylor -- I'm laughing at YOU -- the quintessential researcher! "The Jackie Gleason Show" with the June Taylor dancers!
And thanks, rworange, for making it so easy for me with your link. I saw several stores that I frequent; I will now have to look for the cherry jar.
man, i hav'nt had good jam since my grandmother died...tomato preserves, apricot/cherry jam,home made apple butter,and the king!, black raspberry preserves...man i miss those!
Just another suggestion to use up the mediocre stuff: Mix it with sriracha and use as a sweet hot dip for pretzels or with stir-fry.
I haven't had that problem in a long while because I buy almost all my jam at the Union Square Greenmarket from Phillips Farms. They have them all set out every week for tastes, and they are divine! I especially love the Tart Cherry, but there is not a dud in the bunch. All single fruit flavors. Occasionally I'll be tempted by a Stonewall Kitchen Flavor, and they're always great, as well. AND, if you can find American Spoon Foods jams and barbecue sauces, they're amazing.
I'm very surprised no one has mentioned McCutcheon's (http://www.mccutcheons.com/index.php ), a 4th generation family-run preserve company. They're sold at Fairway, and my fridge is full of them. (Literally--it's not uncommon for me to have 10 or more opened jars at once.) I don't think there's been a dud among the lot, and I've tried all (or close to all) of their preserves and fruit butters (apple, pumpkin and cherry are favs). I'm not into the juice sweetened stuff or the jellies, but the preserves have huge chunks of fruit and taste very fresh. I'm pretty sure the ingredients are limited to sugar, fruit and pectin (the latter only for those that don't gel well naturally).
Nice wide-mouthed jars, too. They run about $4 a piece at Fairway (varies by type), but it's a big jar.

So, my owner tells me that they have financial issues and can only keep 1 out of 2 foreign teachers. They asked if I wanted my release at the end of November. They told me this November 9th which gives me less than the 60 days promised in the contract. I told them about this and said they either need to give me the 60 days notice or give me my severance pay. I have 3 months left on my contract and would like to finish it so I can work at a public school. Do you think I should contact the Labor Board? I don't want to get fired but I also don't want to get ripped off and not have a job in December. I haven't signed anything yet. Thanks in advance.

It takes an average of about 3 weeks after payday to be fully paid. He has been sued through the labor board over 30 times and has NEVER been actually forced to pay money he owes to employees. All he does is pay his current employees in small installments and then at the end of your contract he doesn't pay your severance, flight or final paycheck either. I am very worried about not receiving those final benefits. Does anyone have any ideas or how I can be helped?? (keep in mind my boss has been through the labor board process many, many times and plays those useless people like a fiddle) TIA Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Korean Job Discussion Forums Forum Index -> Job-related Discussion Forum All times are GMT - 8 HoursGoto page Previous 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Page 9 of 9 Jump to: Select a forum Forums:----------------FAQJob-related Discussion ForumGeneral Discussion ForumOff-Topic ForumTravel ForumCurrent Events ForumTechnology ForumBuy/Sell/Trade Forum You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum This page is maintained by the one and only Dave Sperling.

I'm proud to announce my return to the living AND the fact that we will be recording an episode of The Game Show tonight. Remember that we don't broadcast the recording live anymore, so don't show up here tonight at 7. Or do, and read Shane's fabulous post again, I don't know, its your evening do what you like. But, know that at 7:00PM Pacific we will be talking about video games and that I should be able to upload it tonight for a late Wednesday or early Thursday download.
I've had several people emailing me, and even our beloved Storm Eagle asked on Twitter, so I thought it beneficial to announce officially that there will be another one. Excited to be back!
I've also had several people, over the entire life of Padinga, email me asking the history of the site since our post and podcast archive goes back to 2002. Well, that question should be answered in the fairly near future. I'm writing a history of the site so those that care can read, those that don't I'm sure will leave many nice comments in their wake.
Get your engines a burnin' because Q's getting angry already. The fuel of the game industry is filling his hump of hate to the point where it must explode for fear of his head becoming a tea kettle with gasoline inside. Eric is preparing "logic" to combat the pure emotional freight train that will be hurling towards us tonight. I'm sure everyone is glad that he is there to keep us in check.

We are now into the last weekend of voting for the All-Star Game, and Braves' players need your help!
Stadium voting is now shut down, but on-line voting continues through the weekend. Results are to be announced on Tuesday, July 1st. Here's how things stand as of earlier this week:
Here is the most egregious Fan-Vote Fail going on right now: Evan Gattis is not even getting a mention in the MLB press release!
- Yadier Molina (2,600,853 votes)
- Jonathan Lucroy (1,911,745) [obviously Milwaukee fans have stepped it up]
- Buster Posey (1,709,685)
- But Evan Gattis ???? His vote totals must not have been even close enough for them to bother including, yet he's been outplaying all of the above!
SHORTSTOPTroy Tulowitzki has been hitting out of his mind this year, and the ballots reflect that: 3,287,460 votes – highest in the National League. Behind him is Jean Segura (yep, there's the Milwaukee contingent again) at 1,272,273 votes. Once again, the prime Braves' candidate – Andrelton Simmons – fails to get a mention. I guess defense isn't enough for most fans. He needs some help!
Are we going to have to force Freddie Freeman into the game via another 'Last Chance Vote'? It might seem so, since this is what's going on right now:
- Paul Goldschmidt (1,962,386)
- Adrian Gonzalez (1,239,509)
- Nobody else is mentioned.
This situation is worse for Braves' fans than even the above positions:
- Carlos Gomez (2,409,860).
- Giancarlo Stanton (2,130,519)
- Yasiel Puig (2,468,376)
- Andrew McCutchen (2,461,722)
- …and that's pretty much all they mentioned, though in previous announcements, no Braves was even in the top eight. No Justin Upton, no Jason Heyward.
Yes, the system is highly flawed. Yes, the ballot-box stuffing is rampant. But yes – it can also be skewed in your direction, too. After all, the fans in Milwaukee are obviously working hard to put their guys into the game: Gomez, Lucroy, Aramis Ramirez (now leading for third base) and Segura are all making very strong runs, fueled by their fans. Braves' fans did likewise last year in getting Freeman into the game (and then Brian McCann when a thumb injury sidelined Freddie) over Yasiel Puig.
You can vote up to 35 times… and they've made it ridiculously easy to do so after the first ballot. Just rinse and repeat. Here's the link to the ballot. Go forth and stuff the box for the Braves!

GARY | Gary Chamber of Commerce will host a special evening Oct. 15 honoring the 2012 women's gymnastics Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas.
An inspiration to the youth of Gary and worldwide, Douglas will be feted with a dinner and presentations by dignitaries in local government and the Gary City Council. The event will be held at 6 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Genesis Convention Center, One Genesis Plaza.
Tickets are $25, and there will be a limited number of autographed photos of Douglas available to the public during the event.
To purchase tickets, contact Gary Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chuck Hughes at (219) 885-7407, firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
Douglas has strong ties to the city of Gary; it is home to her grandfather, Theodore Hawkins, and many other family members and friends. Her mother, Natalie Hawkins, attended Gary Roosevelt High School.
Douglas started her career in gymnastics in Virginia Beach, Va. at 6. An obvious talent, she began training as an elite gymnast at 14, even moving to Des Moines, Iowa to train under elite coach Liang Chow.
At this year's Summer Olympics in London, Douglas won a U.S team gold medal, and captured the gold in the Individual All-Around event, the most prized gold medal for a gymnast. She became the first U.S. gymnast to win both the All-Around title and team gold in the same Olympic Games.

Healthy Lunches, Healthy Students
Getting Kids to Eat Healthy continued...
That's one reason parental involvement -- both at home and at school -- is so important.
"Not every parent can come to school for a lunch, but that's one great way a parent can get involved," McDonald says. "As a food service manager, I'm always happy to make arrangements for a parent to visit at lunch. They see what the students are eating. They get to see what has changed. The student sees that eating healthy food is important to the parent. That's a powerful lesson."
Parental pressure is even forcing some changes in the widely criticized practice of having vending machines in schools, most of which sell sodas and junk food. Many schools use vending-machine proceeds to supplement after-school programs.
"More than 90% of high schools have vending machines, and that is a real problem," says Stanton. "These high-fat, salty, or sugary snacks are everything we don't want students to substitute for real food. But they make money for the schools."
While the machines are staying, parents are pushing to make changes in what the machines offer. Instead of only offering soda, some machines will have fruit juice, too. Similarly, alongside the Ding Dongs and Kit Kats, some schools are including healthier choices such as whole-grain granola bars.
"It's a start," says McDonald. "And it's parents that have the clout to keep the trend moving toward healthier foods, even if it comes one step at a time."
Packing Safe School Lunches
So what if you're making lunch at home? Here are simple food rules, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for sending a safe lunch to school:
- Keep everything clean when packing the lunch. That not only goes for the food, but also food preparation surfaces, hands, and utensils. Use hot, soapy water. Keep family pets away from kitchen counters. Wash your hands before you prepare or eat food.
- Keep cold foods cold in an insulated lunch box. When packing lunches, include either freezer gel packs, cold food items such as fruit, or small frozen juice packs. Place meat or egg sandwiches between cold items. Sandwiches can also be made ahead of time and kept refrigerated or frozen before placing in the lunch box.
- Keep hot foods hot by using an insulated bottle stored in an insulated lunch box. Fill the bottle with boiling water, let stand for a few minutes, empty, and then put in the hot food. Keep the insulated bottle closed until lunch time to keep the heat in.
For more information on packing safe lunches for school and work, call the USDA Hotline at 1-800-535-4555.
