DUNKIN DONUTS OATMEAL VS. JAMBA JUICE OATS--NO CONTEST!

2-15
So the convenience food places are finally waking up and offering the public real health food.

As a connoisseur of oats, I recently sampled the offering of both the deep-fried flour king Dunkin Donuts (that's what donuts are, sorry) and the more health oriented Jamba Juice.

Dunkin $1.99 served in 12 oz foam cup--at least they identify it as instantized because that's what it is.

Very processed, meaning the beta-glucagon is removed, not properly hydrated, looks like that lump that Ralph Kramden served his wife in the episode of The Honeymooners
"Mama loves Mambo"Garnished with some cranberries that tasted sugar laced.

The $1.99 price is in-line...until you consider that their food cost is most likely around 25 cents.

Jamba Juice's steel-cut oats are an improvement, although that's not saying much. Here the oats are "steel cut", meaning the whole oats, known as "Groats", in their whole form (see my review on http://www.epinons.com/ for Mcann's Oats under my surname "Jewdacrys") are cracked a few times. This maintains more of the beta-glucagon. 

jamba offers several fruit toppings. Price: $3.73

Advantage:Jamba Juice by a mile.

but this is far from the most optimal way to consume oats. I don't know whether Jamba cuts their own oats or buys them whole. I'm guessing they buy them cracked, to save on labor

RUTGERS COACH SCHIANO FLIES COOP LESS THAN HOURS AFTER RECRUITING HIGH SCHOOL OUT-OF-STATER

Just my two cents on the departure of Rutger's football HC:

• true, he put in eleven years. Could have opted for greener pastures after the '06 season, their strongest effort.
• however, there's something called "advance notice". Excepting termination, if you're planning to leave, let the team know in a timely manner. The fact is,the day before he left, he recruited a Baltimore high school player. You think the players he signed in the eleventh hour, chose Rutgers because they thought they were going to play for the man who visited their home?
• So the final chapter has been written. Are they better than they were in the years prior to 2001? Of course. Although that wasn't exactly hard to overcome. Just remember former HC Dick Anderson, had some strong seasons without the resources, budget.
• After 2006, it was not hard to recruit. You didn't have to beg anyone to come to Rutgers. Some of the players went all the way to the NFL. But what did the program do? 8-4 against such powerhouses as North Carolina Central, Florida International.
• West Virginia. What was their record against them?
• Going to bowl games: I remember a time where, after your 2nd loss, you were eliminated. Today: seventy-two teams go to bowl games. Big deal! The Papa John Bowl. Meineke Car Care Bowl. Frito Lay French Onion Dip Bowl. The Tidy Toilet Bowl. Whoever heard of these?

Now, the diehard Rutgers supporters will refute this.

But the fact is, when you put so much money into a program at the expense of of other interscholastic sports being eliminated, 8-4 in that league, falls short of expectations.

NJ MOTOR VECHICLES--2 LOCATIONS, 2 DIFFERENT ANIMALS

Decided to go up to Springfield, NJ, to report a change of address.

Short story: the difference between the Springfield location and Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark is surreal.

First off, on the day I went, the officer told me it was their busiest day of the year. Yet I was in and out in 75 minutes. Try that, Newark!

Additionally, they greet you civilly. They make eye contact, they smile, they kid. In a word, they make you feel welcome.

Contrast this with Newark, where it's not uncommon to have to take an entire day off work to get it done. My experience: one worker barked in response to a question. Another saw fit to answer a question with food in her mouth, with no eye contact.

In fact, I just had a flash idea: I think the Newark employees should go train in Springfield for a week and see how its done. What do you say, Mr. Director?
