Add Triveratrol Plus to the incredible healing power you get from Forward Gold Daily Regimen and you have the perfect combination for long-lasting health.
The secret to the effectiveness of Forward Gold Daily Regimen lies in the 3 complexes that
you'll find in every packet:
1. Forward Gold™ Multi-Nutrient (2 capsules)
Robust daily nutrition, with higher dosages of the nutrients in the right forms,
for those over 65—all in fewer pills a day!
The first building block of my Forward Gold Daily Regimen formula is its high-powered blend of 22 essential vitamins and nutrients. Based closely on the Forward multi-nutrient I've been using with my patients for decades, this foundation supports a healthy immune system, neutralizes free radicals, supports your cardiovascular system and insulin response, offsets medication-induced nutrient depletions, and helps you maintain total-body wellness.
2. Bone and Balance Essentials™ (2 capsules)
Bioavailable building blocks for solid bones, strong muscles,
and secure balance
My rich, mineral-based formula for healthy muscle and bone uses a concentrated, uniquely bioavailable form of calcium carbonate that your body can absorb readily. This blend also includes vitamin D, shown repeatedly in studies to contribute to bone and muscle strength, function, and balance; boron, which helps your body absorb calcium; and magnesium, a nutrient critical for calcium absorption, bone density, and muscle strength.
3. O-3 Brain™ (1 softgel)
Fish oil combined with a clinically studied brain booster to keep you thinking
clearly for years to come
Rarely do I discover a breakthrough ingredient that impresses me as much as Cognizin citicoline (CDP-choline), an amazing, clinically studied compound that helps enhance brain and memory function, attention, and mental energy. Cognizin nourishes your brain with a precursor to the neurotransmitters that are responsible for communication between neurons, maintaining healthy brain cells, and even storing and recalling memories.
The research behind Cognizin benefits is nothing short of astounding. A 2011 clinical study showed that after just 4 weeks of treatment, subjects had remarkable improvement on a standard psychological test designed to measure attention and focus. Improvement was measured by a decrease in errors made on the test. Cognitive function is critical for long-term health and independence. That's why O-3 Brain™ is the cornerstone of my multi-nutrient, Forward Gold, for ages 65 and over.
I've also combined this discovery with the critical omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from clean, pure fish oil for cardiovascular and total-body health, plus vitamin B12, to support mental clarity, nervous system functioning, and a healthy mood.
PLUS…Triveratrol Plus is the first supplement specifically developed to combat these three root causes of aging: inflammation, free-radical damage, and cell deterioration.
With every dose, you slow down aging in nearly every part of your body. This includes your heart, brain, joints, skin, digestive system, even your cells themselves. Triveratrol Plus is the only formula that combines four highly potent extracts shown to help you stay young, vital, and sharp:
ResVinol-25™ gives you the same amount of resveratrol as 170 glasses of red wine
I insisted on ResVinol-25 because it's the most readily absorbed form of resveratrol (standardized to 25% transresveratrol), PLUS it contains 20% red wine polyphenols (not usually found in resveratrol supplements)—the same exact blend found in red wine.
All in all, the 180 mg of ResVinol-25 that's in Triveratrol Plus gives you the same amount of healthy resveratrol as in 170 glasses of red wine for…
- Better cardiovascular health
- Incredible free radical-fighting power
- Reduced oxidative stress and inflammation
Meriva® is a state-of-the-art, proven turmeric extract, and it's 45 times more bioavailable than other turmeric extracts. The Meriva in Triveratrol Plus…
- Fights inflammation throughout your body
- Helps reduce free-radical stress
- Supports the health of your blood vessels
ACTIValoe® aloe vera extract from "the plant of immortality"
Many cultures have considered aloe a cure-all for centuries, and the ancient Egyptians even called it "the plant of immortality." The ACTIValoe in my Triveratrol Plus provides digestive and immune support, plus the formula is super-pure and extremely high quality, with a proprietary process that guarantees freshness. ACTIValoe…
- Fights free-radical damage and
- Helps balance blood sugar levels
- Supports healthy digestive and immune systems
pTeroPure™ pterostilbene, the powerhouse ingredient for even greater age-defying health and vitality
This groundbreaking nutrient makes my Triveratrol Plus formula even stronger than ever. pTeroPure works synergistically with ResVinol-25 to give you…
- Powerful antioxidant support
- Cutting-edge defense against free radicals
- Head-to-toe cellular protection

btw, please try a 3-5 day cold ferment, what do you have to lose?
@jeffereynelson, you are pushing me toward a Blackstone. Probably won't happen this year, but look out next spring!
Here is my first pizza that I would classify as Neo-Ny or Elite NY or whatever you want to call it, so I wanted to share. I don't think the terms have any dictionary definition and can be ambiguous. These cooked in about 2:15, way faster than I was planning. I kicked the grill up a little and when I came back to launch the stone had reached 800. Nevertheless, it was a great same day pizza. EDIT: you can see I pulled it out around a 1/2 turn too early haha
Dude......that pie looks righteous!
Oh I did make a change, you reminded me. This recipe was 62 H20.2 IDy2.5 Salt2 Sugar1 OilDo you have a set recipe right now?
Looks really good Jeff. did you use whole milk moz. cheese?
I don't Jeff but next time I make NY pizza in my BS, ill post up the recipe.

Skip to comments.Simulated BCS Rankings: Sept 17
Posted on 09/17/2012 7:50:06 AM PDT by C19fan
Top 10:
1: 'Bama
3: Oregon
4: Stanford
7: The other USC
9: Clemson
10: Notre Dame
(Excerpt) Read more at bcsguru.com ...
Two touchdown and two field goals isn't crushing anyone. One quality win. They beat Navy and Purdue. Please. You should have heard Musberger. He has them going into Norman Oklahoma undefeated.
I guess Brent is going full Beano Cook. :)
You say that like Purdue is a nonentity. They're a solid team and should be competitive in the Big 10 this year. Not BCS caliber, most likely, but a good team, and played ND tight in South Bend.
The "Other USC" should be the one in Los Angeles, the real USC is coached by Steve Spurrier.
I now think Florida has a real shot at beating LSU. Hard to believe it's the same team that struggled against Bowling Green a few weeks ago.
Nice win for the Gators at Rocky Top.
Eight in a row....always fun to win in Knoxville and see the sad expressions on the hillbillies' faces.
There is NO way that they'd pick them to play again...
Absolutely true. My son graduated ND last year, so I've been watching lots of Notre Dame football, and I think that's the best performance they've had since Brian Kelly became coach.
Now we'll see if they can handle Michigan at home. :)
I wish it were so, but objectively, can't see it. It's good that Will finally decided on a QB...the kids looks great, but I suspect that the rest of the season will show not that Florida was really good yesterday, rather that the Vols were waaay overrated...
One thing they do need to work on is short yardage situations....they cannot do against LSU what they did at the end of the half against UT, failing to score several times from the 2 yard-line.
LSU plays 5 no-bodies and then plays 4 straight top 10 contenders in a row.
Bizarre schedule.
Florida's schedule is really weird, they only play one more game out of the State of Florida this year, at Vandy.
And they close their season with three non-conference games.
Looks like the game against FSU will be meaningful once gain.
FSU has been impressive, but let's see what happens when they play a real team, unfortunately, not many real teams in the ACC this year.
LSU is getting a lot of playing time for younger players right now. Much of the defense in the Idaho game at the start would normally have been on the bench. It is also working out well for them to experience what it means to have a quarterback. This is new for them.
If you mention, USC in any part of the country other than the deep south, 9 out of 10 people will assume you are talking about the Trojans and not the Gamecocks. This is probably proper, as well, since on almost any measurable academic or athletic standard, University of Southern California > University of South Carolina and usually by a wide margin.
ND is on the way back. However, without a conference attachment, they could go 12-0 and not play for the title. Not to mention that the schedule strength is diminished when you play the service academies.
Seems to me that a few years back, an undefeated Auburn team did not get the nod for the big game.
I'm from Louisiana and USC to me was always the Gamecocks.
My son graduated ND last year, so I've been watching lots of Notre Dame football, and I think that's the best performance they've had since Brian Kelly became coach. Now we'll see if they can handle Michigan at home. :)Congrats to your son, and best performance indeed! Notre Dame / Michigan State Post-Game: Why Mantis the Man
Texas puts up 66 on an SEC school and nobody notices yet Alabama clobbers a team that lost the week before to a Sunbelt school and everybody drools.
One of the computer polls has Oregon St. #1 and Arizona #2.
Call me unimpressed.
Ole Miss scored 31 on the tea-sippers, removing bragging rights from Austin.
tu faces Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl on Oct 13, and then plays TCU in November...so the Longhorns will be tested eventually.
It's a pass/fail grade at those points.
There's West Virginia even before that so the first real test comes in two weeks. Meanwhile aTm and Mizzou are looking less like SEC competition than UL-Monroe has.
ULM's coach is about to be poached by a much larger football program.
Kudos to a job well done.
Looks like ND is getting ready to take their seat at the conference table when they need to in the future with the ACC. Special ND rules for bowls are going to bite the dust in the next few years.
A&M's future is very bright, Manziel looks like he's going to be a star, they are recruiting lights out.
Coach Steve Superior is now 58-35-0 at SC, 7 wins away from being the coach with the most wins in their history. He's also 3 losses away from being the coach with the 3rd most losses in their history, passing Lou Holtz who is 33-37-0. Rex Enright is 64-69-7 and has the most wins and loses. 2nd most loses goes to Paul Dietzel at 42-53-1.
I see him going to UK next year...no way Joker returns.
Perhaps. USC might tire of Lane Kitten soon, too...
Perhaps. USC might tire of Lame Kitten soon, too...
That was caused by the fact that Auburn started WAY down in the polls and the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the preseason (USC and Oklahoma) never lost a game that season. That season was a good reason why a Plus One four-team playoff had to be implemented.
Wouldn't Louisiana be considered the deep south?

Mike Komisarek waives NMC - Waived by Leafs
Cam Charron
March 20 2013 11:09AM
Komisarek strategy - waiving NMC for waivers - elementary. Needs to play. Almost certain he won't be claimed, will report/play for Marlies.— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 20, 2013
Not much to say here, other than Mike Komisarek joins a long list of Burke-era pickups like Matt Lombardi and Tim Connolly to find themselves off this season's roster as the Leafs shed some dead space. News via TSN.
You can no longer stash NHL salary in the AHL and have it come off the books, salary cap-wise, so what this move does is allow the Leafs to open up a roster spot and a seat on the team plane on road trips. It will be interesting to see what they do with that spot, with rumours circulating about virtually every pending UFA in the National Hockey League, as it frequently does this time of year.
Mike Komisarek goes to the minors as certainly a move that didn't work, and observers of both traditional and statistical hockey analysis would tell you that Komisarek really has little business playing in the NHL.
But, Komisarek won't actually be the first defenceman to cash in on a contract after playing time with Andrei Markov, and then get sent to the minors after moving teams. The same thing happened to Sheldon Souray, although his demotion from the Edmonton Oilers came after something of a rift between him and management. Souray has proven over the last two seasons that he's a fairly competent defenceman. In the right situation, maybe there's a depth spot available for Komisarek next season when he's a little cheaper, but I'm with Uncle Bob on this and expect he'll go right through waivers.
Over his tenure in Toronto, Komisarek played 158 games. He spent 78 games nursing five separate injuries, and has been a healthy scratch 39 times in the last two seasons, all while playing for $4.5-million a season. Bummer.
Komisarek was never given a chance in Toronto. He'd make a mistake and get crucified immediately, benched, scratched... He also had to deal with injuries. He played really well in the 4 games this season and I really have no idea why he was taken out of the lineup. IMO he's our best defenceman after Dion. I expect him to get claimed off waivers.

"These shoes are perfect for someone who needs something basic, and the wedge is a lot more comfortable than a pump. I bought these to wear in a work setting, but because I am on my feet all day, they still leave a little to be desired in comfort. Still these were a good buy for a closed toe, neutral shoe!"

Full metal alchemist
Full metal alchemist
Claymore is awesome. Best manga i've ever read. Air gear is great too, but D-Gray man i never read, just watch the anime. The manga is better than the anime? Should i read the manga?
"They buying the new ones and we playing the good ones"
"BUt hey as a guy, they're mostly pretty ecchi filler chapters"
"They buying the new ones and we playing the good ones"
Soul Eater and Fullmetal Alchemist
Avatar and Signature by Ravona
if you want a casual read, then eyeshield21. if you want to think alot about what youve just read, deathnote
but i agree with split second shot, bakuman is the next greatest story..read that forsure
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Ive finished reading like 4 manga's..As well as watching many other manga's.
Now I got little more free time and I want to start with a great manga or even Anime if you know any.
The style of story I'm looking for;
-Great deep story, not too humorous, not too much romance
-Could be Past, futuristic or even apocalyptic(Fantasy world)
-Heavy action (Swords, mysterious powers, anything unique)
-New style manga
-High quality character design.
-Interesting character personalities.
Now this is just what would have been great^^
I'm not particularly crazy about robots and guns.. So XD
But if you think I should watch a manga you just discovered and liked it or anything like that just recommend. I highly appreciate any effort.
Thank you in advance.. I promise to check it out every recommendation. ..

Upgrade quiz module to make use of the new navigation blocks
Gliffy Diagrams
Issue Links
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Links Hierarchy
The references in question bank for paging (page 1,2 ,3 NEXT, SHOW ALL) don't have a return url so the link does not work due to the filtering of valid addresses.
Notice: Undefined variable: paging in C:\moodle\moodle\site\moodle_head\question\editlib.php on line 1303
which invalidates the related code
if ($paging){ $paging = substr($paging, 0, strrpos($paging, '
')); $paging .= "
$showall
"; }
else{ $paging = "
$showall
"; }
echo $paging;
I set as critical as there are other links also to question/edit.hp that do not contain a valid returnurl
as on the upper link "Edit questions" when you are editng a question.
Sam, saw your recent commit for this bug. I just wanted to point out that, in a bit of code like
+ $url = new moodle_url($CFG->wwwroot.'/mod/quiz/review.php', array('attempt'=>$attemptid));
+ if ($page !== 0) {
+ $url->param('page', $page);
+ }
+ if ($showall !== 0) {
+ $url->param('showall', $showall);
+ }
+ $PAGE->set_url($url);
$attemptobj = new quiz_attempt($attemptid);
it might be easier to set $PAGE->url after you have created $attemptobj, because there is a $attemptobj->get_review_url() method.
Of course, that returns one string, not a moodle_url or a string and array, so perhaps you should leave it and I will sort things out later.
Anyway, thanks for working on this.
Now extends settings navigation, perhaps if you get time and feel the desire Tim you could find a cool way to extend the main navigation.
Reopening this, since it seems like the most natural bug to use for improving the quiz navigation.
Hi Tim,
Have attached a patch that I believe meets the goals of http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:How_the_quiz_navigation_should_work_in_Moodle_2.0
If you could find a couple of minutes to check it out for me that would be most appreciated.
Lots of great work there, but ...
+ public function show_only_fake_blocks($setting=true) {
+ $this->fakeblocksonly = true;
Should use $setting, not true, and seems to have a whitespace problem with the }
moodle/lib/navigationlib.php @@ -2685,23 +2692,10 @@
Should not require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/question/editlib.php'); surely it only needs questionlib.php. If that is not the case, fix it so that it does only need questionlib.php
question_extend_settings_navigation copies-and-pastes way too much code from somewhere. In particular, using optional param there is just evil. I think that question_extend_settings_navigation should only take a $context or $contextid parameter, in addition to $questionbank.
I also think that $questionbank is a bad name for this argument. It is a navigation node, not a question bank.
$PAGE->set_pagelayout('admin'); in mod/quiz/edit.php must be wrong. (It may possibly be that admin layout is badly named, or it may be this line that needs to change.)
$PAGE->set_title($pagetitle.": ".$quiz->name); in mod/quiz/edit.php. Why are we concatenating strings like this?
Don't require questionlib.php at the top of mod/quiz/lib.php. That includes all sorts of crap, and so hurts performance. Do it in quiz_extend_settings_navigation
Hmm. That makes me wonder whether question_extend_settings_navigation should be in questionlib.php, or somewhere else like navigationlib.php
$PAGE->set_pagelayout('standard'); in question/category.php (and a couple of other places). Is that really necessary? Why isn't that the default?
+ $filename = $CFG->dirroot."/mod/$cm->modname/tabs.php";
+ if (file_exists($filename)) {
+ include($filename);
(in various questionbank scripts) Why did you keep that bit? I vote for just getting rid of it.
(So far, I have just reviewed the code. I have not yet applied the patch and tested it. Having found the above issues, I will wait for a second patch before testing.)
Thank you very much for doing this.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for looking at that patch for me, the following changes have been made in the patch that I have attached:
- Have changed $this->fakeblocksonly = true; to use $setting. The whitespace issue is a flaw in netbeans ability to produce a good quality patch. When it gets commit, it gets commit fine, but for some reason the patch tool exports whitespace issues like that.
- editlib.php is required because of the question_edit_contexts class. After a quick check turns out it can be moved from question/editlib.php to lib/questionlib.php without requiring any changes to require calls, which is what I have done.
- optional params removed from question_extend_settings_navigation, renamed questionbank to questionnode and now takes a context rather than cm or course.
- $PAGE->set_title($pagetitle.": ".$quiz->name); ... because we can ... Haha nah, it was a foobar anyway as I wanted to set that as the header not the title. I did a grep on the quiz module and saw there were only two pages that were setting heading, overridedelete was using a topical string and view.php was using the course fullname. In the interests of standardisation (several other modules use course fullname everywhere) I have changed edit.php to the course fullname and set a heading on all applicable pages in the quiz module. Let me know if you would like something different to be used.
- Moved the requiring of questionlib within mod/quiz/lib.php into the quiz_extend_settings_navigation function.
- The inclusion of a tabs.php file was left in for scripts that were already calling it purely for backwards compatibility encase anyone out there has successfully integrated a module with the questionbank. I've now removed it as I wasn't that partial to it anyway let me know if you think it is worth keeping in regards to backwards compatibility.
The following points are open for discussion at this point and have not been acted upon yet:
- $PAGE->set_pagelayout('admin'); is required for lack of a better option, side-post blocks clutter the interface something terrible and the admin layout is the only layout that has side-pre but not side-post regions. I'm open to suggestions for this one? I don't want to create a layout just for the quiz module, perhaps if there is a smart generic name that won't be abused elsewhere (I immediately thought form though most forms are fine with blocks on both sides).
- I've left question_extend_settings_navigation within questionlib for the time being, to me that feels correct as it is where I would expect to find it... but then I work with this on nearly a daily basis. If you do decide you would like it moved let me know.
- The default pagelayout is `base` hence the calls to set the pagelayout to standard. I forget why base is the default and not standard. Petr had a good reason for it at the time as to why pages should not have blocks by default but I can't remember the details. Perhaps this could be raised again at a dev meeting.
Let me know your thoughts
Ohhh I keep forgetting to mention, the ordering that you requested for the quiz settings block hasn't been achieved. Currently there is no way to insert nodes above default nodes that the navigation takes the liberty of adding.
I am thinking that such a task wouldn't be too big but I would like to tackle it as a separate tracker issue after this has been commit.
On the discussion points:
1. Thanks for explaining. I think we should try to come up with a better name.
2. I bow to your greater wisdom on this. Thanks for thinking about it.
3. I would like to see the arguments on this. It does not make sense to me. Perhaps it would be interesting to do some grepping and do a frequency analysis of what is passed to $PAGE->set_pagelayout(). That might answer the question of what the best default is.
4. (the separate comment) You can argue it both ways. It is good leave the standard links in a consistent order. It is also good to group the links for each activity as logically as possible. The one that seems most desirable to me is having settings overrides next to settings. However, if it is impossible, it is impossible, and that is OK for now.
I'll try to review the new patch later today.
Removing the top level tabs is okay since they are not tabbed navigation anyway.
However, "edit" and "order and paging" are rapid switching between alternative views of the same information object (Nielsen*) - the UI is modal, and modes are classically really difficult for users unless they are made visible. Tabs are good at making them visible. Removing them and placing them as links in a list just really really breaks the UI even more than the space taken by the blocks on the left will.
See also http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=149375#p658375 .
Please, please leave the two tabs above the UI, unless there is a real justification for removing them that is based on user goals. Is there?
If you wish, I can look for more justification in literature for why tabs as a UI element works so well for modal display of the same data. Anything to not have half the Quiz UI redesign work flushed down the drain.
Good point. I was not happy with having edit questions and order and paging as sub-links in the settings block. Keeping two tabs at the top of the edit page, with a user preference so that the mode you last used is the default, seems better to me.
Sam, is it OK to make that change?
Hm, in fact yeah, now that the two tabs are no longer subtabs, it seems less of a problem if the tabs are persistent, since at least there is no consistency problem within the same set of tabs.
OK. I think this is a big step forwards, and after correcting the minor points below (and the two tabs on the edit page, if possible) we can commit this, to get another round of comments.
(Really picky coding style point. I think the rules are space round operators like $x == $y.)
Should question_extend_settings_navigation create the question node, as well as its children? And should the node itself be a link to save you expanding that bit of the tree in the common case?
I think Overrides should be Settings overrides.
Question Bank management should be just Question bank. Similarly, I think the top-level Questions should become Question Bank on the course page, and should be a link.
I think that during a preview attempt/review, the settings navigation should always be visible. And, the only realistic way to do that is to show blocks in this case. (In other words, the Show blocks during attempt: No only applies to non-preview attempts.)
Thanks again.
Hi guys,
I'm resolving this issue now, I have made the requested changes as follows and have commit the patch, CVS update and you will see all of the changes live.
Changes made before commit:
- Corrected the couple of places where spacing wasn't correct
- question_extend_settings_navigation now created the branch node which is now labelled `Question bank` (It is also linked)
- Overrides now Settings overrides
- Blocks are not shown only for actual attempts.
- The edit page has two tabs now as requested.
Thanks Sam!
I am pretty happy. The persistence of tabs apparently didn't make it though?
A minor sidenote: "Editing quiz" sounds to me like it's a quiz, a property of which is editing. Could you shed light on why not "Edit quiz"?
Oh, I really grave to work on the layout of especially the order and paging tab, it's horrendous and that's my fault. Now with less room the repaginate clashes with "The basic ideas of quiz-making" badly.
Also, after having sat on the question for over a year, I am apparently less in love with my brainchild now and start to agree that the dialog for adding random questions probably should have choosing from existing question categories as the default option. /me bangs head on wall

Super Cute
"I have pretty narrow feet and these fit out of the box but will be perfect after a couple of wears. I'm a true 6.5 which is what I got, so they are true to size. They are very flat, though. I wish they had just a bit more of a heel. Overall - great fit, comfortable and cute."

Cute, but not for me
"These are really cute, but are no good if like me you are a) short and b) have wide-ish feet. The t-strap style just emphasized my lack of height, and the shoes made me feet look fat. So sad! They will have to go back."

David the Righteous of Thessalonika
Document Actions
June 26
Saint David, who was from Thessalonica, lived a most holy and ascetical life. For some years, he took up his dwelling in the branches of an almond tree, exposed to all the elements and extremes of the weather. He reposed in peace during the reign of Saint Justinian the Great, in the sixth century.
Apolytikion of Righteous David in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Father. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us to look beyond the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy David, your soul rejoices with the angels.
Kontakion of Righteous David in the Second Tone
An Angel on earth, and stranger to all earthly things, thou madest a tree thy dwelling like an eagle's nest, whence, O David, thou didst soar up to Heaven, where thou didst find that Tree which in Eden we lost of old. Remember us all, who keep thy memory.

Korean cooking forum topics
Home › Forums › Korean food discussion › My 2011 New Year's Resolution…
This topic contains 86 replies, has 4 voices, and was last updated by mokpochica 5 years, 1 month ago.
Last week I found Maangchi's Korean Recipe Site. What luck! I'm hooked!
So now I've made it my resolution to make at least one Korean dish every week from Maangchi.
Weekending January 16: Kimchijeon 김치전, Mandu 만두, & Japchae 잡채.
Weekending January 23: Pasanjeok 파산적.
Any followers who want to join me on my Maangchi cooking quest? Just list what recipe dish you made for that week. This is a good way of logging all the recipes I have tried and recipes I have yet to make. :)
Ok, today I got my Internet shipment of Korean Red Hot Pepper Powder, Red Pepper Paste, and anchovies. So today I made Kimchi and Kaktugi. And on Tuesday dinner was Bulgogi jungol and boy did my husband love it. I don't know what I'll make next week but I'm studying Maangchi's recipes.
Funny thing is that I met customers at work who cooks Maangchi's Recipes too. It was quite amazing as this is a small town and I just had mentioned it in a conversation.
Today 1/29/11, Saturday, I made Mandu Soup (Oh was it delicious!), meat mandu and vegetarian mandu (with this one the mandu skins were made from scratch since my friends were vegetarians and they don't eat eggs).
Had the soup for lunch today…um, um, um good. And for dinner I had a bowl of hot steaming rice with the kimchi.
I'll join you. I generally make several Korean side dishes a week (several from maangchi's site), but I don't always try new dishes and don't make as many soups/stews as I would like.
On Friday my husband made yangnyeom tongak, but I guess I can't count that, huh? I made kaji namul, kong jorim and kamja jorim from the site today. I love making lots of side dishes on Saturday or Sunday and then having them to eat all week long. I feel so happy every time I open my lunch box :)
I made nabak kimchi and kosari namul today too, but those were my own recipes. I'll post pictures when I get a chance—I'm no great photographer, but the food tastes good¡
Hi Mokpochica,
Your husband must be a great cook! I still have yet to make yangnyeom tongak, 고사리 나물, GoSaRi NaMul, kaji namul, and kong jorim. I hear ya, making lots of side dishes on Saturday or Sunday and then having them to eat all week long makes me happy too. I just can't wait to have a smorgabob-style lunch and dinner. :)
Photos make me salivate and makes me want to make some. Here's my dinner tonight. My Caucasian husband tries everything once. He loves Mandu and Bulgogi which are his favorites.
Thanks for joining and I can't wait to make some of the dishes you've made already. I'd like to make 고사리 나물, GoSaRi NaMul soon, only if I could get the main ingredient.
2/1/11 Tuesday: You're photos turned out great and the food looks inviting. Kids are enjoying their dinner and happy. Thanks for sharing your meal with me. :)
Dinner tonight is Japchae 잡채.
2/6/11: Superbowl Sunday started early with lots of cooking…
Eggplant side dish / 가지나물 / Gaji namul
Soybean side dish Kongjang, kongjorim 콩장, 콩조림
Spinach side dish Sigeumchi namul 시금치나물
Soybean sprout side dish kongnamul muchim 콩나물 무침
Cabbage and soy bean paste soup Baechu doenjang guk 배추 된장국
YUM! It all looks great. :) My husband makes great chapchae, so I haven't attempted it yet. Actually, I don't know that I ever will, because I still want him to cook sometimes too…and if he thinks I can cook everything then he might not cook at all.
I also made shigeumchi namul 시금치나물 today. The other dishes I made were Uhmook bokkeum 어묵볶음 and Gamja jorim 감자 조림. They all turned out really well. I'm going to try and make pare (roasted kim) tonight if I am not too tired. We still had a few things left from last week too, so I will have a full lunch box tomorrow regardless.
We cheated and went out to lunch today and had Korean food. One of the local restaurants makes the best kimchi chigae ever and even my baby was gobbling it up today. We had bibimbop too.
My husband went out and bought ingredients for mujigae ddeok. It is my baby's 2nd birthday this Friday and my plan is to make it Thursday night after the kids go to sleep. I asked him to get kkaenip too, but I guess they were expensive and looked dry, so sadly no kkaenip kimchi this week. I LOVE that kimchi and it is surprisingly easy to make. I've got some hot peppers that will be great for twaynjang chigae though…
Hi Mokpochica,
Hope your week went smoothly. Can't wait to try uhmook bokkeum that you made, so that's on my list still. We live near the Pacific Ocean so you would think we have local fresh fish sold at markets but they export them instead, what a shame.
Weekending 2/13/11: Made Sujebi, both kinds and enjoyed them immensely. My husband didn't try them as he was not in the mood for soup but he did eat the Japchae.
Since finding Maagnchi's recipes and trying something every week, I don't really miss the Korean Restaurants anymore. Though it would be nice just to go out for the night and try other Asian-style cooking. There is really no culture here so it's very difficult unless we go on a long journey 8 hours away for authentic Asian cooking.
The Sujebi looks fantastic. I've never had kimchi sujebi, but my mouth is really watering for it right now. I made the non-spicy sujebi with maangchi's recipe before and I loved it.
I know what you mean about not missing Korean restaurants. Maangchi says somewhere on this site that home cooked meals are really the best and I absolutely agree. Healthier and you have peace of mind that you know exactly what went into them. After my husband and I have learned to cook more and more foods we have said that we don't feel like going to a restaurant when we know we can make any and all of the foods they serve there.
My plan was to make mujigae ddeok last night or tonight and it's not happening because my husband bought the wrong kind of ssal karu. We are having the real birthday party for my baby (who turned 2 today!) next weekend, so I guess I will make it then. Or maybe tomorrow if I feel really ambitious.
I did make pare (roasted kim) this week and it was fantastic! I can't believe how quickly we ate it.
I think my goal for this next week will be to make sun dubu chigae. After kamja tang and kimchi chigae, it is my favorite. I used to make it quite often, but I think my recipe was too bland, so I want to try maangchi's recipe. It will be too spicy for the kids, so I will just throw together some miso soup for them.
Happy Birthday to your 2-year old.
I know what you mean about the husbands (cooking-wise). My husband cooked all the time, he said it was more for survival but he sure is a great cook, Caucasian food though. He did attempt making Americanized kimchi for me last year because I had missed Korean food so much after moving here 5 years ago. What a sweetheart!
Let me know how your sun dubu chigae turned out. It sounds great and I keep on watching that video which means it's going to be made very soon. :) I'll just have to make more kimchi soon.
I'm curious–what was your husband's Americanized kimchi like? Milder than the average kimchi? That is very sweet because making kimchi is very time-consuming, especially the first time you make it.
I didn't make sun dubu yet (instead I made kongnamul guk), but I did make mujigae ddeok. It wasn't a perfect result, but it tasted great!

Imagine you are a 14 year old girl and you are suddenly flown from the U.S. to a small southern African country and dropped off at a foreign international school found far, far up on a hill without anyone but your little brother by your side. It's 1987, you are wearing a stone-washed denim mini-skirt, far too much hairspray and you are terrified. That was me and that school was a place that shaped my soul in a way I never expected. While I quietly pouted about the outrage of it all, I marched onto the campus that first day, followed the rest of the student body into an assembly hall, slid onto a bench with other 14 year olds and, with arms folded, I waited for something to happen. And it had better be good.
Something did happen.
And it started with assembly every week. Well, it may have even been twice a week, but it always started the same way. We sang the Swaziland national anthem and then we sang the African national anthem. Every student sang loudly and beautifully and with a shocking passion unlike anything I had ever, EVER seen. No one at my old school sang my national anthem this way. What is this?? What is going on? It was so beautiful that I swallowed back tears week after week, deeply overcome.
And then we were taught about what was really going on. You see, I was at a school where we were being taught literature and history and information about current events that may or may not have been banned at the schools less than an hour away to our west, across the border in South Africa. We talked regularly about Nelson Mandela's imprisonment. Why he was there. What freedom really meant. Why children were shot and killed protesting their right to be taught in a language they understood. I was astonished. They were killed? Police shot students because of this??
I sat there and I listened. At first appalled. As if MY country would ever do such a thing. (Well. It had.) And then I accepted it. And then I absorbed it. And then I found my place in it. There was a fight for freedom happening around me. There was hope and anger and so much passion for change.
At every assembly, I sat and considered all of it. Equal rights were not given, they were a chance happening. A roulette table of skin pigment, culture and nationality. Oh look, she landed on "white girl from America!" So at the border crossing, SHE gets to go to the diplomatic line and get a friendly nod and a smile from the police man with the dog. My friend's chance at luck got her "black South African," and she went to the back of a very different line. And I waited and watched and the dog watched her and none of it made any sense. Madness. And never equal.
Nelson Mandela being released from prison was a far-fetched dream in my mind. I'm not sure I thought it would ever happen, let alone witness him become president or live a very very long life afterall. But let's be real, I'm not sure I fully grasped all of it anyway. I was 15. And while it would be nice to say I was deeply engrossed in political conversation at every moment of every day while I lived in Africa, I was not. I was a privileged white American girl who got to escape to her lovely embassy-issue home after school and watch VHS tapes of MTV and Twin Peaks and drink soda and have sleep overs. I cared deeply, I really did. But… oh my God you guys, TWIN PEAKS. I was 15.
A couple years later, there were rumors. There was excitement and hope at school. Discussion, wonder, it could happen. I don't know what the reason was but I was in Johannesburg with my family in February of 1990. I was in a fancy hotel downtown and our room was on the 30th floor. It was night, after dinner and I was probably willing my parents to evaporate on the spot while I lost myself in another Stephen King book. But suddenly it happened. The world exploded. I went to the window and looked out. With my forehead pressed flat against the cold, I peered down from my silent glass tower and watched the streets FILL entirely with joy and dancing and people, so many people. And then I could hear them through that thick, extra-paned, super fancy glass. I could hear them! It was true, Nelson Mandela had been released.
Sometime soon after that, Nelson Mandela came to our school. It was a surprise visit and I believe he came to see his grandson (a student there at the time). I secretly like to think he came to thank us for our writing, and learning, and singing so so loudly every week. I think he came on a Sunday. But guess what. I wasn't there that day. Yep, back home, probably chomping on some newly shipped-over M&Ms and teasing my bangs and… oh my god you guys, TWIN PEAKS. Sigh. I cringe deeply now.
Nelson Mandela wasn't my leader and he didn't fight for me. The roulette wheel had spun and already offered me the privilege to chomp on M&Ms and watch TV without one damn care in the world. But he WAS my teacher. He snapped my hair-sprayed, peroxided little blond head to attention and taught me what I had and what others did not and that every single 14 year old girl had the right to NOT have one damn care in the world, no matter which way that roulette wheel turned. He taught me grace, humility and patience. He taught me the power of words. He taught me the power of faith and hope — his release was the first time I saw the truly impossible happen.
Nelson Mandela passed today. I deeply respect the enormous impact he played on this world, even on my humble little easy life in the midst of it all. I wrote a message on my art teacher's Facebook page today (one of my all time favorite teachers now a world away, still back in Africa) and told her I wish I was there with her mourning this loss. She wrote back and said, "But you were there when he was released and we celebrated!"
I am proud that I witnessed such an important time of transition in southern Africa. I am so proud to have understood the enormous impact of Nelson Mandela's release. And I am so proud to feel the pain of his loss today, even here in this little home, buried deep in Florida suburbia, so very far from the place where I was taught, the community that changed me and our teacher, Madiba, who has passed away today.
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika!

I wasn't expecting to wander into the snowbanks with them, but the bottom is so slippery that even with a bit of snow, I'm afraid to go out in them. The toe area is also a bit uncomfortable, but I'm hoping after some more wear, they'll soften."

My only concern is that they run a big large--I almost considered returning them for a half-size smaller, but decided to stick with them in the end. Love these and would recommend.

Ford Transit Connect EV Battery Maker Azure Dynamics Files for Bankruptcy
Tiffany Kaiser
March 28, 2012 11:19 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The bankruptcy filing caused a halt in Ford Transit Connect production
While the electric vehicle (EV) industry seems to be moving forward in many ways, it has also experienced some setbacks over the last year. Unfortunately, many of these setbacks involve EV batteries, and now, Ford is in the same boat.
Azure Dynamics, a British Columbia-based EV firm, has filed for bankruptcy in the United States. Azure Dynamics is responsible for installing
the battery electric powertrain in Ford's Transit Connect
Azure Dynamics filed for bankruptcy on Monday, and was forced to lay off 120 employees worldwide. Layoffs occurred in Boston, Michigan, Canada and the United Kingdom.
In addition to layoffs, Azure Dynamics said it will no longer proceed with a planned stock offering because the company just doesn't have the liquidity to move forward with an appeal of a ruling that opposed its planned stock offering.
"We wish to convey to the company's stakeholders our terrible sadness at this outcome," said Azure Dynamics in a statement.
Azure Dynamics received a four-year contract from the Government Services Administration for about $112 million. The contract gave the U.S. military and government agencies the ability to order the
Transit Connect EV
, and Azure said it had about 2,200 orders. In addition, Azure was attracted to Michigan because of the state tax credit, which is over $1.7 million over a seven-year period, and an 11-year local tax abatement approved by the city of Oak Park valued at $55,400.
On Ford's side of the situation, the bankruptcy means having to stop production of the Transit Connect EV, and it's currently unclear if this situation will be temporary or permanent.
So far, Ford has produced 500 EV Ford Transit Connect vehicles since 2010, when it began its partnership with Azure. Despite Azure's recent news of bankruptcy, Ford is standing behind the company.
"Our priority is to ensure that Azure's Transit Connect Electric customers continue to have support throughout their ownership experience," said Wes Sherwood, Ford spokesman.
Azure definitely isn't the only EV battery company (or alternative energy company) to file for bankruptcy within the past year. In January,
EV battery maker Ener1 filed for bankruptcy
after its subsidiary, EnerDel, received a $118 million Department of Energy grant in August 2009. Other EV battery issues that have occurred recently include General Motors' Chevrolet Volt, which experienced a series of battery fires last year, and problems with Fisker Automotive's Karma plug-in hybrid batteries, which will be replaced entirely by A123 Systems Inc. for $55 million.
Other failed alternative energy companies that have filed for bankruptcy include
solar panel company Solyndra
, which received a $535 million loan guarantee from the government despite warnings of Solyndra's viability, and
Beacon Power
, which received nearly $43 million from the government in August 2010 and filed for bankruptcy in November 2011.

Why?- High Quality leather, straight from Italy- Sturdy base, with solid underside- Soft leather interior, with perforations for ventilation- NO pungent "fake leather" smell, like in other shoes- neither short (no cramped toes) nor long (no annoying bends at toe cap)To be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted the leather toe cap style, but the great construction won me over!"

The gold does not look cheap at all and the delicate details are divine.I like that from afar they probably look like just another metallic sandal but upon closer look you see the snake.I have a wedding to go to this summer and I am thinking of changing into these for the dance.Very happy with this purchase."

Looks Amazing!
"This shoe looks like a $100+ sandal. The only downfall is the snake design. The snake has elastic on the thong part. It's not noticeable at all unless you stretch it out, but I guess I can't really complain considering the price. So I don't think I'd be wearing these a lot b/c I'm afraid the elastic may give out. Overall, I love them and the gold heel is uber cute."

Monkeying with the GlassFish Issue Tracker
By vbkraemer on Jul 30, 2007
I am a Firefox user but have never really gotten into customizing it with add-ons. That changed a couple days ago, when I came up with a punk hack that I wanted to enable on Google search result pages.
I started to look at Firefox add-ons that might already perform my hack... which would kind of ruin the fun of implementing it... or help me implement it.
One of the add-ons that I found was Greasemonkey. It doesn't perform my hack, but it has allowed lots of people to implement customizations of web-pages that are similar to what I want to do.
I installed it and started to look for scripts that would teach me how to monkey-around. I found this script by Jesse Glick that modifies the page title for Issuezilla entries. Direct link to Jesse's actual script. If you have Greasemonkey installed clicking the link to Jesse's script will ask you if you would like to install it.
I read through the script and took it for a testdrive... and I liked it. Then I remembered that the NetBeans Issuezilla is hosted by the same folks that host the Issue Tracker for the GlassFish community. So, I decided to try an experiment.
I opened the Greasemonkey Manage User Scripts... dialog and saw this.
I used the Add... button to update the Included Pages list to look like this.
I went to Java.net and logged in and went to look for some GlassFish issues that I need to VERIFY. I have been very lazy about that...
When I clicked on a link to see the details on an issue, this is what my Window title looked like.
Then, I figured I would share this with folks in the GlassFish community.
And now, I am done

Learning that your child has been diagnosed with hearing loss can be overwhelming. You may be unsure about how you can communicate with your baby. Remember that you are already an expert at communicating with your child!
Everyone has made a funny face at a baby and watched for that baby to smile. Communication is not just about spoken or written words- it involves touching, smiling, hugging or kissing your baby, rocking your baby, singing, or laughing. Most babies with hearing loss have some hearing (called residual hearing) and can partially hear voices, especially when you are close to the baby.
Some suggestions and reminders for parents about early communication with your baby are listed below.
You are already building communication skills you will need to make decisions about formal communication opportunities for your baby later. Right now, you can begin developing his/her communication with touch, vision, gesture, and lots of love.
Below are additional steps that parents should consider completing as soon as possible after hearing loss has been confirmed.
Medical Evaluation
Children who are diagnosed with hearing loss should be referred to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat physician, also called an ENT) for a thorough check-up. An otolaryngologist is a board-certified physician who has a specialized knowledge and skills regarding the ears, nose, and throat. He/she will evaluate your child to determine if there may be a medical reason for his/her hearing loss. After an ENT evaluation, the physician will determine if your child is "cleared" to receive amplification for treatment of his/her hearing loss (this is also called medical clearance for amplification). Most children with a hearing loss can benefit from the use of hearing aids and other assistive (helpful) technologies.
Hearing Technologies
If you choose amplification for your child, return to your child's audiologist so that your child can be fitted for ear molds and have an evaluation with hearing aids. Your child's audiologist will determine which hearing aid is the best match to your child's hearing loss. You can help the audiologist by observing your child's behavior with his/her hearing aids and telling your child's audiologist how you think your child is responding to sound.
Some families who have children with a severe to profound hearing loss in both ears may consider a Cochlear implant. A cochlear implant is a hearing device placed in the ear by surgery. People can have either one cochlear implant or two cochlear implants. If you are interested in learning more about if a cochlear implant is right for your child, talk you child's audiologist, ENT, or early intervention provider. Your baby's doctor must approve use of this device.
Other types of hearing technology may be appropriate to use with your child. Hearing technology is available for every type and degree of hearing loss. One example of hearing technology for newborns or children is an FM system. An FM system is a two-part device—both the person talking and the person listening wear part of the FM system. The person talking wears a transmitter (of speech). The person listening wears a receiver (of speech). Speech is transmitted through an FM signal (like a radio signal). An FM system allows a child to be within "earshot" (about six inches away) from the speaker's voice at all times. Talk with your child's audiologist or early intervention provider if you would like more information about other hearing technologies.
Most children with hearing loss (90%) are born into families in which both parents have normal hearing. Because hearing loss affects how a child's communication skills develop, most babies and toddlers with hearing loss will need and benefit from regular and consistent early intervention sessions.
Children diagnosed with hearing loss should be referred to First Steps for direct intervention services right away. These services will give you information about the range of available options so that you can make the best decision regarding care and treatment of your child. Babies who are enrolled in direct early intervention services, especially before age 6 months, tend to make the fastest progress.
Children with hearing loss should have a communication evaluation done by a professional who is trained and experienced in working with children with hearing loss. These professionals may be speech-language pathologists, audiologists, early childhood educators with special training in hearing loss, or early intervention deaf educators. These professionals usually have completed graduate-level studies in the field of hearing loss. This evaluation will take 3 – 4 hours and will give you information regarding your child's abilities and levels of functioning in communication and other developmental areas.
After the communication evaluation, most children diagnosed with hearing loss should be enrolled in treatment with an early intervention specialist who is trained and experienced in working with young children with hearing loss. An early intervention specialist may be a speech-language pathologist, an audiologist, an early childhood educator with special training in hearing loss, or an early intervention deaf educator.
Children diagnosed with hearing loss should continue to see their audiologist for audiological (hearing) management. This management may include other hearing evaluations, ear mold impressions and fittings, or hearing aid adjustments.

Five things: In which I whine about Jankowski
Ryan Lambert
June 27 2012 07:32AM
1. What was that all about?
I am not, despite appearances, a hard-line guy about some stuff related to the rebuild.
I don't think, for example, that the Flames were necessarily wrong to trade the No. 14 pick for the No. 21 and a later second-round choice. If they thought their guy would be there at 21, and all indications are that Mark Jankowski was indeed their guy, then it was a very wise move to get something they wanted badly in addition to something that continues to help stack the prospect pool.
With that having been said, and with the caveat that I've obviously never seen this kid play one second of hockey in my life, my issue with the Jankowski pick is a simple question: "Why him?" If they really liked the building blocks of his game and whatever, I guess I get that, but based on multiple viewings for a kid playing high school hockey in Quebec? What development level is that? Gotta figure it goes Major Junior, Junior A, Junior B, high school, maybe? At best, it's clearly a third-tier league. Yes, he'll be playing against the best young Junior A players in North America next season in the USHL, but that's next season, and the Flames already drafted him.
He hung 90-something points on a bunch of kids who were probably cut by Junior B teams, so forgive me for not being impressed when the kids drafted around him played in the best junior development league in the world (the OHL) and the
All indications are that he won't play NCAA hockey until he's 19 years old, which does little to encourage me. I've seen a lot of later freshmen in NCAA hockey and they're very good at that level. Here are a few who have panned out as professionals: Matt Read, Rene Bourque, Dustin Penner, Teddy Purcell, Justin Braun. All but Braun share the common trait of having gone undrafted, and Braun was taken exactly 180 picks after Jankowski in his draft year. It's a very rare thing indeed for a kid taken in the first round to come to college that late.
I guess the issue is that I'm — and call me crazy here — a best-player-available guy. I don't care if the Flames really like the makeup of this kid's body or game, I don't trust results against a bunch of kids in a league for which I literally can't find out if it's had another player drafted in the last two decades. Let alone in the first round.
Olli Maatta was available. He was right there. They did not take him. Maybe, hopefully, Jankowski pans out in half a decade or so, but that's literally the window here. We won't see results now, or three, or maybe even four years from now. Now, to be fair, I've heard the argument that Jankowski is one of the youngest players in the draft and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's just, you know, the risk involved. This kid could, as a guy whose background in basketball says, become the best player in this draft within 10 years. He could also turn out to be a very ugly pick we're laughing about years from now. You're rarely going to get sure things at No. 21 or even No. 14, but I'd prefer the Flames not actively court disaster.
Rebuilds aren't a fast process, I understand. I'd just like to be able to know whether it's headed in the right direction sometime before Nail Yakupov hits unrestricted free agency.
2. As for the rest of it
I actually didn't think that, apart from the noodle-scratching decision to let Darcy Regier push them around for the second consecutive draft, Jay Feaster and Co. did a bad job with the whole draft thing. Not that this is the be-all, end-all, but every one of their picks was in the Central Scouting top-66 for North American skaters. Not bad.
Patrick Sieloff is supposed to be very good indeed and makes the Jankowski pick far easier to stomach given that he was taken with the pick Calgary got for trading down. Jon Gillies, likewise, could prove a very good goaltending prospect; I'll be able to get a better look at him at Providence College this coming season, so if you want updates, I'm your man. I'll be able to provide the same for Jankowski, obviously, but that's some time away, isn't it?
3. The lack of a Comeau qualifying offer
Qualifying offers for restricted free agents were due earlier this week and Blake Comeau didn't get one, and I'm glad the team still wants to give him a go with a lower-priced deal than the $2.5 million he would have made.
He was clearly not very good last year, by pretty much any metric you care to examine, but you also have to be optimistic that he can improve slightly on his 3.6 shooting percentage from last season and start to approach 20 goals again. Fully reasonable to expect a lower cap hit on a one-year deal so he can prove himself to the team and also improve his position at the bargaining table for next summer.
Feaster at least sounds somewhat optimistic they can get a deal done before July 1, which would make it easier on Calgary. I'd be happy to see him back whatever the outcome because, even if he sucks again, hey, so will the rest of the team, so who cares?
4. One guy the Flames should pursue that won't excite anyone
Last week, Cam Charron had a post on Canucks Army about former Islander defenseman Dylan Reese becoming an unrestricted free agent. The numbers look pretty good especially given his quality of competition in a very tough division.
Now, there's not likely to be a line around the block for this guy and certainly he's not going to excite anyone, but at 28, he can be at least a serviceable situational defenseman for a team that, guess what, badly needs the help. Because no one has ever heard of the guy, and because he has less than 100 games played through his age-27 season, he will cost almost nothing, and Calgary should be interested.
This is the kind of player who will do nothing but a stat nerd feeding frenzy, but there's a reason nerds love the guy: he helps his team for dirt cheap. Plus, if Vancouver doesn't get him, Vancouver doesn't get him. That's also good.
5. Actually, one last thing on the draft
I'm also excited about the number of future college players Calgary took for the reason that I'm me and I firmly believe that college hockey has a better chance of turning later-round picks into serviceable pros. Major junior is very much a breeding ground for elite talent, which is something you can't say for NCAA hockey for a number of reasons I won't get into.
But if you wanna see those third-, fourth-, fifth-round picks, and so forth, make it in some capacity, they have a far better chance of doing so if they're playing against mostly young men in the NCAAs rather than against kids in Major Junior. Again, I'm not so sure about Jankowski, but I'm definitely glad to see the Flames go in that direction for the later picks.
Jankowski played hockey in an obscure league in an obscure location and still had a concensus ranking of 41. That is pretty encouraging.
He is clearly a risk. But he clearly has big upside as well.
If you buy in to Weisbrod, a guy who consistently goes off the board. And if you buy into the concept that the Flames should build a characteristic template of what a Flames player should be then apply that to player acquisitions (part of developing a team identity.) And if you buy in to BPA in the draft. Then you have to be at least a little encouraged by this draft. The Flames, at the least, stuck to their guns.
Many people have been huge supporters of the above three. But now that push comes to shove are unhappy we didn't take the highest profile players available.
June 27 2012, 11:00AM
I unabashedly LOVE the Jankowski pick.
The chief concerns everyone mentions are (in no particular order);
- He was playing in a crap league - We could have had Tervainen or Maata - The pick reminds them of Chucko/Pelech/other previous 1st rnd disasters
To which I say;
- They scouted him heavily precisely because they were concerned about the competition he was facing, and he still climbed their draft board - Tervainen and Maatamay have warts we don't know about, or have ceilings lower than we expect. The entire draft was weak for scoring forwards, and if Tervainen was expected by scouts to be even an average top 6 forward he wouldn't have lasted till 18. Maata will likely be a safe steady 2nd pair D-Man, in the mold of Dana Murzyn. Whoopee!
Jankowski was a swing for the fences, huge upside (ranked 41 despite the crap league he played in) and with a ceiling potentially MUCH higher than the other guys. - Lastly, this pick is nothing like Pelech or Chucko, in that the knocks on Jankowski are not his tools, but rather his lack of competition.
Further thoughts;
- I bet Feaster had Sielof higher rated than Maata - I also bet he had good intel that someone else was targeting Jankowski late in the first/early 2nd. - The rest of Feasters draft was top notch (especially Kulka in rnd 4), so this wasn't the night of the living dead scouting staff
Whether or not Jankowsi ends up being a home run, or just a long fly ball, I for one appreciate that the Flames are FINALLY making the effort to draft for gamebreaking skill rather than knuckle dragging bangers.
June 28 2012, 09:55AM
I guess Ken Hitchcock was on the radio yesterday in Calgary and he was saying that at least three other teams had the big jankowski on their lists between 21 and 30. So if our scouting department sucks, and after last year I'm not ready to say that yet, then at least 3 other teams are also out to lunch.
i've heard the vinny the horse comparisons are poppin up. i hope weisbro and company don't try to convince us we got vinny in the draft. the level of comp is what has me scratching my head.
No, Weisbrod and company aern't try to convince us we got vinny in the draft... they threw out a Niewendyk comp thou.
Your opinion on the circumstances around the Jankowski pick are pretty much in sync with my own. No arguments here.
The only thing that I will take issue with in the current zeitgeist is the popular saying that the pick was high-risk/high-reward. It is indeed a high-risk pick. But I don't believe that Jankowski's talent level is such that it outweighs the rewards that were available had they selected Teravainen. Or perhaps even Maatta, but comparing a defender to a forward is tricky, and at the draft even more so.
Jankowski is perhaps a talented forward. More talented than the Flames' options at #14? I rather doubt that. More talented than the options at #21? Perhaps, maybe even likely. The next two years will speak volumes.
I think Flames fans are going to have to install internal filters to weed out the hyperbole from the progress reports that Weisbrod and Feaster are likely to put out. Both have a tendency for bombast and fans will likely want to hear an objective review of the player.
the pick I really like is Brett Kulak in the 4th round. Understated, do-it-all defenseman with upside drafted in the 4th. He was ranked 29th (!!!) by THW.
I'm okay with the Jankowski pick. I would rather have this team swing for the fences than pick another "safe" pick from the WHL that ends up playing on the 4th line in 5 years. 4th liners are easy to find. 1st line centres are not. Clearly the kid impressed on all levels. I don't think that they were just drafting him based on his point totals.
does anyone truly know what the level of competion is comparable to? the ontario provincial league is usually where many college bound kids toil for a year instead of playing the 2nd or 3rd years of midget.100 points in high school versus 40 points in junior a are 2 different animals. chit i scored 50 goals one day alone shooting on my sister but failed to make the rep team.
June 27 2012, 09:56AM
Like Ryan noted, we can't even identify a player who has been drafted out the league Jankowski was playing in. It's really tough to get a handle on the quality of competition as a result.
makes the selection even more mind boggling, i have conducted an exhaustive search and concluded the speculation might be 10 years. by that time many of the cooks in the kitchen might be residing at shadybrook retirement home. as harold ballard one stated to rick vaive"its easy to soar like an eagle when you are surrounded by turkeys". doug weisbro didnt exactly have stellar results with the majic, and the stanley cup ring in my belief was right place at the right time.
I don't think it really matters what the competition level is comparable to primarily because they evaluated this kid based on his raw skills and not his complete game. He's a pick based on projections of how good he'll be once he adds some muscle, gets some good coaching, etc.
I, like most people, am really curious to see how he does in the USHL next year. Whether he goes to college or the OHL after that will probably depend on his progression in the USHL and what his development timeline looks like after that. (Aka, if he's 6'4, 220lbs, and has the strength you'd expect at that weight by the end of the year, he might go the OHL route as he's probably closer to the NHL than expected, but if he's 6'4 and 195lb (more realistic), then college is probably the best route for him as the playing schedule is better for building strength and mass.
The thing that bothers me about this Jankowski thing is that no one knows. NO ONE.
I hear many people complaining bitterly about this pick but who knows?
Do you think he fooled everyone looking at him? He even said that his interview process was intimidating with all the Flames people there. I have to assume there were not enough people against the idea to make it not happen. That must mean that the majority of the scouting staff were at least somewhat ok with this decision.
Would I have liked to see someone that slotted in sooner? Sure, but I'd rather have a strong farm and development system instead, thus having a competitive team in the long term. Even if Jankowski doesn't work out there are other picks that I'm pretty sure will.
I'm just saying that there were enough eyes on this for someone to stand up and say "This is a bad idea" if it truly was that bad of an idea. No matter what league he is from.
Also I'm pretty sure they're not just looking at how many points he put up in that league, but the skills he exhibited while doing it. Matter of fact I'm positive of that.
June 27 2012, 11:45AM
Dylan Reese is a right-handed shot. He's a pretty sturdy guy.
He'd certainly be better to have on the right-side than Babchuk, and would come cheap, me thinks...
Good find, Ryan.
I did some research and found out guys like Jeremy Roenick and David Backes were drafted straight out of HS.
Jankowski put up point totals of 73 and 94, higher than J.R. who had 65 and 84 and also scored more points than Backes.
Now I'm not saying Mark is better than either of these players and he has a long way to go. However, maybe the Flames brass feels this guy has a very high ceiling.
I agree it is a high risk gamble of a pick and with the Flames draft record history they can't afford too many bust picks.
If the Flames want great picks they either have to tank for a few seasons or trade Iggy and/or Kipper. The latter which I seriously doubt since ownership refuses to move Iggy.

Backes was drafted out of the USHL...which is where the Flames picked Gaudreau last year and where Jankowski plans to go and play in next season.
Meaning, even the USHL is step up from Steanstead prep college.

But again, I HIGHLY doubt the scouting staff was looking at the level of competition and thinking that it was representative of what is to be expected. They're most likely scouting on the skills he exhibits while playing in that league.

Exactly this.

if that's the case that's terrifying. a player is always going to look better/more skilled while playing against inferior comp.
So I'm just about fed up with the commenting system here, its nice we are giving you long comments Kent, but because of the length the system takes them to the far reaches of cyber space never to be seen again. ANYWAYS.
I don't get being upset for taking Jankowski over Girgensons(I get the Teravainen, in fact I was pulling for that one myself). Looking at Girgenson USHL stats, its pretty average, about 1ppg, average SH% among top scorers in the USHL, and didn't have much of an imporvement over his rookie season. Girgensons was picked high because of his size and hockey ability(skating, hockey sense and so forth) and scouts projected those atributes as translating well to the NHL. Again A LOT of the same things that the Flames saw in Jankowski, size, skating, hockey sense, things that can translate to an NHL level, even if the quality of comp was less. Next year is going to be a big measuring stick to see if Jankowski can take him possible NHL tools from HS to USHL and then to College.
As for taking Maata, great D doesn't have to just be found in the first round, a couple of prime recent exampes is Letang(3rd) and Weber(2nd), great D can be found throughout the Draft and its a matter of great scouting. Do the Flames have that good of scouting, it has yet to be seen, but again, this draft needs to be judged 2-3 years down the road and not 2-3 days after.
You all have to remember that the final scouting ranking number is just a number. It is a scouting system that if you grow 1 inch and put on 20 pounds you jump 20 places in the final ranking. it just shows you how hard it is and imprecise to make the rankings. That is why you rely on your staff to do their job. The flames looked at a heck of alot more than the final ISS number and the level of league he was playing in. The league is now size, speed and skill. This kid seems to be all three.
I would be curious about his fitness testing, Hand and foot size to just see how big he really will get. How fast is he at a young age, what is his skating stride like and what that projects to when he is older and stronger. Does he dish out as much as he takes. Agility testing.
Great article. I dont understand why Feaster is so intent on making life difficult for himself...although he DID seem to pass the buck to Wiesbrod. So if Jankowski doesnt pan out; I can already hear the presser.
