Lotus Professional® launches streamlined Marathon™ range
Januray 18, 2012
January 2012 sees the re-launch of the Lotus Professional® Marathon™ dispenser range, incorporating an interleaved hand towel and toilet tissue dispensing solution. The new sleek Marathon™ dispensers provide total washroom solutions which can be combined to meet the functional and aesthetic requirements from HoReCa, to schools and healthcare. Each dispenser is easy to use and low on maintenance with an optimised dispensing mouth, providing sheet by sheet dispensing, ensuring users only touch and take one hand towel or toilet tissue at a time.
The new dispensers offer a new streamlined look and are available in translucent blue and white. Integrating the renamed M and Z fold paper towel options, and the 1 and 2 ply interleaved toilet tissue, the Marathon™ brand ensures customers can select the product most suited to their needs easier than ever before.
Each Marathon™ dispenser is made from a shock resistant poly-carbonate cover, with a removable key to reduce pilferage. Compatible with the Lotus Professional® range of M, Z and C fold paper towels; they can be topped up any time. They are also available in two sizes, small and medium to fit a wide variety of locations and where space is at a premium. Peter Maxwell, Trade Marketing Manager at Georgia Pacific Lotus Professional® brand says, "The new Marathon™ range combines classic folded paper towel and toilet tissue solutions with hygiene and consumption innovations for a modern dispenser suitable for all of the sectors we service. Its streamlined look signifies a move forward in the look and feel of the Lotus Professional® range of products, whilst the paper towel rebrand demonstrates our commitment to products that not only reduce consumption and improve hygiene, but meet the needs of our customers."
The Lotus Professional® brand understands there is a vast choice of hand towels available and by simplifying the Marathon™ M and Z fold hand towel brand, customers are now able to easily select the correct paper towels to meet their needs. Ranging from value 1-ply paper towels, through to premium and luxury 2-ply towels, manufactured using ultra-absorbent TAD (Through Air Dried) technology, the benefits and intended use of each paper towel are clearer than ever before.
Paper towels continue to be the most hygienic way to dry hands. According to research conducted by Westminster University, paper towels reduce bacteria spread1 on hands by up to 77%, compared to jet air hand dryers and warm air hand dryers that encourage bacteria spread , in some cases meaning that a washroom user could be better off not washing and drying their hands at all2. By developing a fully dismountable dispenser that can be completely and easily cleaned as required, the Marathon™ hand towel dispenser range allows staff to maintain the dispensers internally, reducing the risk of germs and dirt contaminating paper towels inside the dispenser.
For more information about the Marathon™ range or any other Lotus Professional® products please call (+353) 01 806 8138, or visit www.lotusprofessional.ie

Girls Trip - NO BOYS ALLOWED - 10/2 to 10/10 - Pop, MNSSHPx2, F&W, DxDP - COMPLETED!!
Hello Hello!!! Welcome to my... 4th trip report? I think it's my 4th. WOW! Yes, FOUR times I have been to WDW and it all started way back in May of 2011. Okay, I'm spoiled rotten. Let's get down to details.
When: 10/2/12-10/10/12
Who: Me & DD4
Where: Pop Century
Why: Girls Only Trip!!!
A little background... as I mentioned, we took our first trip back in May of 2011. I was hooked immediately. We drove all the way from Wisconsin and spent 6 short nights in WDW. It was NOT enough. In October 2011 I surprised my DS5 with a Halloween trip. We had the best time during free dining... it was great to spend that one on one time with him. Before leaving, I purchased an AP. Yes! This was my ticket to happiness for an entire year!!! In May 2012 we returned to the World with our entire family and my MIL ! Yes, I know, we're crazy. We spent 8 nights and stayed off property for the first time. We did a LOT on that trip and for the most part had an amazing time. Somehow I talked DH into letting me book another trip in October 2012 before my AP ran out. It ONLY made sense to SAVE money, right? He bought it and I took my DD for her 4th birthday. This would be her 3rd trip. Her actual birthday was September 5th and we surprised her with a backpack full of goodies to take along to WDW. You can see the Youtube video here:
We were all set to go... bags packed and just counting down the days. Of course I came down with a horrible cold 5 days before we left. It lingered throughout the whole trip but did not get me down.
Thanks for joining me and enjoy the ride

Campaign and Website for Whitelion Bailout
Branding and Website for online wine store.
Windfall have been working with Regency Media Group on the development of the Regency Solar website. The brief was to update the look of the brand along with new design and functionality across the digital space.
Here at Windfall we enjoy what we do. We love to be creative, to problem solve and face new challenges every day.
Windfall thrive on the pressure of tight deadlines, and the sleepless nights brought about by a discontent for anything less than a great idea. It's what drives and makes us tick. The fact that we love what we do means the quality of work is always above and beyond our client's expectations. Your work is our work.
With our combined years of design experience, we're able to take any business; local, national or global wherever the mind may wonder. Windfall can drive any business through the whole marketing process from start to finish.
This cross over of different skills allows Windfall to take your problem and create an effective solution.
Creating memorable work involves transparency between both client and designer. The more information that is communicated to us allows the process to run smoothly and deliver a better creative outcome.
The better the creative outcome, the greater the experience for the audience and therefore creating a memorable brand.
Windfall has recently been involved in creating the campaign for the 2011 Whitelion Bail Out. Whitelion helps youth at risk and through this years Bail Out, hopes to raise more than $300,000.
We are very proud to be associated with Whitelion and working with them to create a successful campaign for their annual fundraising event.
Windfall has recently moved premises and relocated to 348 High Street Prahran. We are very excited about the new location and look forward to buttoning down and getting the creative juices flowing in the new space.
We would like to thank Bwired our technology partner for allowing us to utilise space in their establishment.
Windfall are pleased to announce the launch of their new site. We have been working tirelessly the last year juggling client and in house work to cap off the finishing touches we needed to launch.
We thank everyone who as been involved in the design and development of the website. We hope you enjoy!

Fannie and Freddie Keep Soaring: Financial Winners
Fannie's preferred series E shares, with a coupon of 5.10% and a par value of $50, were up 34% to close at $6.99. Freddie's preferred series Z shares, with a coupon of 5.375% and a par value of $25, were up 6% to $3.20.
Still, the future of the two companies is still quite uncertain, as neither Congress nor President Obama have settled on a way forward for the U.S. housing market.
"Having 90% of all mortgage loan originations backed by Fannie and Freddie is a bad thing," according to Kevin Petrasic, a partner in the Global Banking and Payments Systems practice of Paul Hastings in Washington. Then again, a radical change in the mortgage finance market would be extremely risky in the midst of a fragile economic recovery.
"One of the central concerns from a macro perspective of FHFA is trying to make sure that the solution for Fannie and Freddie allows for a continued stable housing market," Petrasic says.So investors can expect this story to play out over a period of many years. Meanwhile, some day-traders are making a killing on Freddie and Fannie common shares. Investors who go in for the preferred shares, hold them for an extended period and then have the good fortune of having the dividend payments resume, will be in for quite a bit of gravy some day.
More Happy Money From the Fed
Investors were quite pleased with the statement from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), saying the Federal Reserve would continue making monthly purchases of $85 billion in long-term securities in an effort to hold long-term rates down. The Fed has kept the short-term federal funds in a range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008. The FOMC once again said it expected the central bank's "highly accommodative" policy to remain appropriate as long as the U.S. unemployment rate remains above 6.5%, assuming inflation is kept in check. The Labor Department on March 8 said the unemployment rate improved to 7.7% in February from 7.9% in January. The FOMC also said that, since its last meeting in January, economic data "suggest a return to moderate economic growth following a pause late last year." The broad indices saw solid gains. The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was up 0.5% to close at 57.12, with all but three of the index components rising for the session. -- Written by Philip van Doorn in Jupiter, Fla. >Contact by Email.

Special public hearings will be called for student assignment issues. Members of the public will be allowed to speak for two minutes at public hearings. If the Board formally proposes any change that includes families not affected by the original proposal, then those families will be given an opportunity to speak. As a rule, the Board does not hear comments on student assignment at regular meetings.
Due to confidentiality requirements, a public hearing is an inappropriate forum to discuss personnel issues. Citizens should instead contact the appropriate administrator in writing.

"Hard work, hard work I love you..."
It is 6:47pm and I just got back from our tennis match against MIT. I am still all sweaty!!! Well...we lost today 8-2 unfortunately. But, we are getting ready for the NCAA in May, so we cannnot look back and just learn from our mistakes. Then move forward to improve. We played well, although we could have done much better.
I am personally a little bit disappointed. I did not play as well as I was hoping, therefore I have to work harder. Besides tennis, school is going to be challenging these next two weeks. The Undergraduate Conference is coming up this Friday, and I will be presenting my project on Education. I am really nervous!!! But, the only way it will do well is if I keep working hard. So that's the PLAN!!!! :)

My Favorite Outdoor Links
Guide Services
The Grand Rapids area is home to over 1,000 lakes teaming with a wide variety of fish that will be sure to create that tall tale we will tell our grandkids about. So, with so many lakes how do we choose where we will catch that wall hanger or mess of slab crappie? Lake Pokegama has that variety that keeps our guests happy. Learning to fish a 6612 acre lake takes skill and practice. There is no better way to learn than to choose a good guide service. These guys have taught me allot and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy some exciting fishing on Pokegama or any of the other 1,000 lakes in our area.

San Francisco, CA, 94109, United States
The 161-room Hotel Carlton puts a strong emphasis on green technology and community involvement.

The approach has won it several awards including LEED-gold certification; parent company Joie de Vivre also donates to local organizations. Guestrooms are decorated in light blues and creams with saffron and persimmon accents. The Carlton has no adjoining buildings, so the majority of rooms offer an unobstructed view of the city.

A Closer Look at Panera Bread's New "Green" Smoothie
Panera Bread recently added a new "green" smoothie to their line of specialty drinks. Good for them! I applaud their efforts to add healthier options to their menu. I do, however, have a few concerns.
The nutritional information for the smoothie states a 12.5 oz serving contains:
190 calories
49 g carbohydrates
4 g fiber (More on this below)
2 g protein
0 g fat
Although I still think this smoothie is a better option than much of the Panera menu, I have the following concerns:
- The high amount of carbohydrates (and calories) and low amount of fiber concerns me. Part of the reason this "smoothie" is so low in fiber is that they are using vegetable juice concentrates instead of making a true smoothie using real veggies. Had they used the real thing instead of juice concentrates, the fiber content would be much higher. Fiber serves to slow the digestion and absorption of carbs.
- This smoothie contains more than three servings of carbs in a paltry 12.5 ounces. That means every ounce contains about 4 g of carbs. That is an incredibly high amount of carbs and is a concern. A teaspoon of sugar contains 4.2 g of carbs, so this smoothie is very similar to plain table sugar in terms of carbohydrate load. (It does have more nutrients, but sugar is sugar as far as the body is concerned.) Before ordering this smoothie, please pause to consider that the sugar content is the same as eating 12.5 teaspoons of sugar.
- The other ingredients in the smoothie and the lack of fiber definitely give this item an extremely high glycemic impact, meaning it will raise blood glucose levels to a high level very quickly. This is NOT a good option if you have any form of blood glucose or metabolic imbalance. It is also NOT a good option for weight control.
Ingredients Breakdown
The ingredients identified on the Panera website are: Vegetable and fruit base (apple [juice, puree and juice concentrate], pineapple puree, kale, celery and cucumber juice concentrates, water, fruit and vegetable juice concentrates [color], lemon juice, pectin, natural flavors, vitamins [vitamin C, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, B12], spirulina), water, banana.
Let's look at these ingredients more closely …
- They are adding pectin as a thickener. Again, if they would use real vegetables, no thickener would be needed. Most pectin used today is derived from non-organic fruits which may be genetically modified. Pectin has zero nutritional value, so it disappoints me that Panera is using a highly-processed additive instead of real, whole foods.
- Vitamins: The fact they are adding vitamins means they are adding synthetic vitamins which cannot be easily absorbed. Again, simply using real food would eliminate the need for synthetic additives.
- Natural Flavors: If you've done much reading about food ingredients, the term "natural" is not regulated. Some "natural flavors" are known to include GMOs, MSG, plastics, animal extracts, and/or food allergens. It is difficult to say which flavorings have been added to this smoothie, but the term "natural flavors" always makes me a bit leery. After all, if they were simply adding a cucumber extract, they would say so. The fact they aren't willing to name the specific product being used is a warning sign. If you're not drinking one of these daily, the exposure is probably minimal, but be aware of the potential.
So there you have it. What are your thoughts about these new smoothies?

I wish I had read this sooner. I had one because it said it was green and made with low fat yogurt so I assumed it would have a lot of fiber and protein. I'm disgusted by the amount of sugar I ingested…unknowingly. Thank you for writing this!
Equivilent to 12.5 teaspoons of sugar!! No wonder I felt a sort of sugar crash lnot long after consumption. Too bad it was pretty delicious.
How can they call a "green" smoothie. It seems like false advertising. Come on Panera, give us a tasty healthy alternative!
I had one yesterday, thought it was great, got another one today! then i read this article. i knew the green smoothies were too good to be true!
I too think that Smoothies should be made from the original fruit and veg and not from concentrates. I was going to link this until I read that proviso. Thanks for pointing this out
Just when I thought it was safe to go back into Paneras, sigh. Seriously this is really helpful information as I try to manage my carb intake.

Sleep Tip
Mar 21, 2011
General Nonsense
Here's a tip for falling asleep. I don't think you'll see it anywhere else. It goes like this:
Don't think words.
By that I mean don't imagine conversations that you plan to have, and don't replay in your head conversations you've had.
It's impossible to clear your mind of all thoughts. But I find it somewhat easy to switch off the language center of my brain. What happens after that is a flow of images, starting with ones that make some sense to my current life, quickly followed by randomness, then sleep. It usually takes less than a minute.
Let's say something is bugging you, or fascinating you, and the thought is keeping you awake. I'll bet that in those situations you're obsessed with the verbal elements of your problem. You're imagining what you will say to someone, or how you will explain yourself, or maybe what words someone else chose when annoying you. To fall asleep, don't abandon the troublesome topic, because you probably can't. Just picture the situation in images alone. That will satisfy the part of you that can't let go of the problem while putting you on the sleep trajectory.
To be fair, I have no idea if this method will work for you. It's just something I discovered that works for me.
My wife hates my ability to sleep just about anywhere. Yesterday I dropped off for a few minutes during the new movie
. I would have awakened in ten minutes on my own, refreshed and ready to drive home. But that plan went off the rails when Shelly decided it would be funny to slap me in the chest and see what I would do if I woke up suddenly to a loud action sequence in the movie. I'm told it was hilarious.
Anyway, if you try my sleep tip, let me know if it works for you.

I've been using this technique since I read about it on this site in March and it's surprisingly effective. I used to have magazines and relaxing music on my night stand but I've quit using it entirely. Now I just fall asleep in a few moments.
I'm also better rested in the morning and wake up earlier, I guess it's because I reach deep sleep sooner.
Thank you very much, Scott!

i discovered this technique to reduce depressed state of mind. I call this a "stop telling stories". When past failure or disappointments takes over me. I just switch off my self talk

These are great ideas. I generally can fall asleep if I just try to view whatever is going on "behind my eyelids". My imagination makes up something from the minor cues/variations in what my eyes or brain perceives, and soon I'm asleep.
Scott - what you are doing sounds like a possible specific instance of Neuro Linguistic programming. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming) has an interesting entry on it, including discussion of the criticisms of it, but I still find it fascinating. A book I found very interesting on the subject was "Using your Brain for a Change", which is listed as number 67 in the references in the wikipedia entry.

I have been using this kind of technique for years, and thought I was very clever for discovering it. I would describe my method as focusing on any image that comes to you. It is extremely difficult to hold an image, so then allow it to change to another, but keep focus on that image.
However, the advice to avoid words is not only more succinct and clever, but it also explains why this technique works so well. I bow to Scott's superior nerdiness.

For me, it's just the opposite. To sleep, I need to avoid imagining emotionally-charged situations, visually-interesting things, or anything with a kinetic sense. Imagined conversations are perfect for falling asleep to.

To get my mind off the troublesome things when trying to sleep I read comic strips.
And since I'm a geek I don't read them on paper with the lights on like normal people would, but on an old iBook. The images are rotated by 90 degrees so I can lie down and just tap on the touchpad to flick through the strips till I fall asleep.
Conincidentally I just finished reading all 7000 Dilbert strips last night. One-gag-a-day strips work better since there are no story arcs that keep you awake. It has to be a strip that's interesting and funny enough to keep you focused, otherwise you just glance over it and drift away, back to the worries of the day.
I'm doing that for a couple years now and it works like a charm for me. No side effects so far, I just dreamt about a comic one single time and that was actually a hilarious mash-up of comic and real life (an antropomorphic squirrel was selling me car parts)...

I tried it - but I couldn't stop the music. Was able to stop myself from thinking in words. To get myself to stop thinking about words in the song I switched to classical - but the music just wouldn't stop. I tried just rhythmic type music, like drum beats - but it quickly turned to melody.

There is a name for this technique. It is called image streaming. The technique is detailed in the book The Einstein Factor by Win Wenger. A kind of New Agey book teaches this to unlock hidden meanings and potential from the subconscious mind. However, it is cautioned in the book that unless precautions are taken it is a sure way to drop off to sleep quickly.

I'd like to say I knew what it was like, putting my head on my pillow and relaxing to go to sleep in bed. Sadly I don't know as when I lie down I am pretty much asleep before my head hits the pillow. *simpers smugly*
I guess I resultingly have a lot of enjoyment of the hypnopompic state. I love lying in bed waking up slowly if possible - perhaps listening to my son who sings to himself in bed in the next room. But hypnagogic? Foreign country to me.

Yes, it works like a charm. For many years I was an insomniac. A decade ago I tried a sporadic affirmation: "at night I drift into sleep easily and readily." The key was to say out the affirmation 3 times a day at different intervals such as morning, lunch and afternoon (never at night when I WAS tossing and turning like a zombie) and to imagine the affirmation's gradual spellbinding effect. After 3 weeks or so of daily sporadic affirmations, I had acquired the superpower of switching off almost at will. After 2 months, the habit stuck and saying the affirmations were no longer necessary.
But Adams' sleep tip takes the cake! Now I sleep at will during the daytime too! Pretty soon I'll go into a deep slumber and wake up in the year 2150. The thing with consciousness is that it usually resides in the left side of the brain where language (chatter) takes place. The right side of the brain is where imagery takes place and is largely not-conscious. Julian Jaynes hypothesizes consciousness is based on language and perhaps that's why Adams' idea of shutting off "thinking in words" and switching to imagery works in phasing the mind (consciousness) to go to sleep. The brain goes from left (chatter/awake) mode to right (images/not really awake) mode. But the best thing is you can sleep on this sleep tip.
Babate: you're not crazy. go for the positive imagery: you're sane. tell people "don't knock it 'till you've tried it." the thing with ignorant people is that they don't know that they are ignorant. classic catch-22. some people are too stupid to realize they are stupid.
Dingbat: go easy on your husband. he's probably the worried/responsible type that takes care of his family and friends.

I read somewhere once you only get 6 hours of sleep per night. If that's correct, I'm guessing your REAL trick is that you are always tired (even if you're not consciously aware you're tired).
If all I got was 6 hours of sleep a night, trust me, I'd have NO problem falling asleep at anytime! :)

Hello, Scott,
I have huge problems falling asleep, especially if I wake up couple of hours before time to leave the bed.
I usually tell myself diferent stories - from getting unexpected inheritance to being abducted by aliens. They help somewhat. However, the stories involve conversations (i.e. - words).
Just this early morning with a couple of precious hours to go, I tried a story inline with one Stephen King novel. It failed for half-an-hour. Then I followed your advice - imagined the plot in pictures, leaving out dialogues. Worked in less than 10 minutes. Hope the technique will prove helpful.

This is so true! Scott, I also pride my sleep-anywhere/anytime skills and it's precisely because I discovered this technique as a young girl.
I just thought it was lucid dreaming--helping your brain ease into a dream like state by relaxing and letting myself free form images. It let images just naturally flow into my brain and morph into the next.
People think I'm crazy when I tell them to try it, and then they never do. So this blog entry makes me happy. :)

1. What was I dreaming before I just woke up?
2. Get out of bed, pee and get back to bed
3. Now only think about the dream, over and over...

Yes, I find doing a "Sudoku" puzzle in bed puts me to sleep. That seems to fit your theory.

The famed scientist attracted thousands of devoted fans. But atheist leaders say the movement still has a long way to go.
The 2012 Reason Rally, held yesterday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was advertised as "the world's largest secular event," and despite the inclement weather, it drew more than 20,000 people. Big name anti-religion advocates including Adam Savage, co-host of the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters, and the world-renowned Oxford Professor Richard Dawkins addressed the crowd of nonbelievers, some of whom had trekked from as far as Wisconsin and Mississippi.
After a rousing ovation, Dawkins praised the group for having braved the day's varying rain showers -- from drizzle to downpour - saying, "I expected a great turnout should the weather have been nice, but here you all are. I've not yet seen a more beautiful sight."
He later offered a contrarian take on the event: "How could anyone really rally against reason? Conversely, how could anyone have a rally for reason?", which won him another round of applause from supporters.

Upon the conclusion of his approximately 10-minute speech, in which he covered familiar arguments surrounding natural selection and evolution, Dawkins exited stage right. A legion of fans clamored for his attention as he walked briskly toward the Washington Monument, flanked by a bodyguard and the Richard Dawkins Foundation's chief financial officer, Dr. J. Anderson Thomson Jr. Fans clutched camera phones and yet-to-be-signed Dawkins books, only to be fanned away by the bodyguard.
Later, Thomson Jr. and Dr. R. Elisabeth Cornwell, the Richard Dawkins Foundation's U.S. executive director who'd spoken to the crowd about the war on women's bodies, opened up further about the challenges of gathering nonbelievers and moving them to action.
What role do social media and the Richard Dawkins website play in your activism?
Elisabeth Cornwell: We have gotten about 1 million hits a month, which opens up a whole new window for people to see what's going on. Social media really is the only way that something like this is possible. And not only possible here but everywhere. The fact that we can, with very little money, share and exchange ideas with people we may never even see means we're breaking down walls that would be impossible to break down without social media.
Do you think that can also be a hindrance to the movement? A lot of people say they're activists because they click the "like" button on Facebook. That's different than what people did today, physically coming here from places like Wisconsin and Mississippi.
Elisabeth Cornwell: One of the problems with the Internet is that people can remain anonymous. So they don't really have to follow through with action, and they're not accountable. But as people become more accustomed to it, they realize they have to do the activism. They can't just push the "like" button; it's not going to get things done. On the Richard Dawkins website, we encourage people: go out and do this. Don't just sit there and read articles and complain about the world being unfair -- "Those darn Christians, and those darn radicals." No. You have do something: run for your school board; become politically active.

Jets Draft Team Needs: Cornerback
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comThe roster is never set for the season in the beginning of April, as the five starting rookies from last season can attest. With twelve picks in what has been stated is one of the deepest draft classes in recent memory the Jets still have areas of need, which we fully expect them to fill between now and next Sunday. Here's our quick look at the Jets positions of need and some players that might end up with the Jets. First up, cornerback.
Current Status: While the Jets were 'active' in free agency after cutting Antonio Cromartie, yet all they walked away with was free agent Dmitri Patterson. Patterson played well last year in Miami before a season-ending injury. The Jets also look to be without Ed Reed at safety, who played well down the stretch for the team. While Dee Milliner will likely be the cornerstone of the secondary for years to come, they still could do with a second starter caliber player at cornerback to help build out the unit and put more emphasis on press coverage on the perimeter of the defense.
Day One Options: Darqueze Dennard (Michigan State), Jason Verrett (TCU)
Rex Ryan loves to use press coverage and that is where both Dennard and Verrett excel. Justin Gilbert might be a tantalizing athlete, but on the first day we fully expect the Jets to focus in on players who they can immediately drop into their scheme. Josh Norris has written on Dennard that "no corner is as physical with receivers within five yards or downfield as Dennard." Dennard might have questions about his top speed, but he is a ready-made starting corner. Jason Verrett is a name that seems to be going under the radar right now, mostly because he is a smaller player, like Tyrann Mathieu last year or Fred Smoot in years past. Size doesn't seem to matter with Verrett though and many expect him to be a late first round pick. While we would be shocked to see the Jets select Verrett with the 18th pick, he might be in play if they move back so that another team can pick up a sliding quarterback.
Day Two Options: Keith McGill (Utah), Bradley Roby (Ohio State), Phillip Gaines (Rice), Pierre Desir (Lindenwood), Stanley Jean-Baptiste (Nebraska)
We picked Keith McGill in our mock draft yesterday as the Jets third round choice. We have to think that the Jets would covet his size and ability to play press coverage. McGill needs a little technical work and some NFL conditioning, but he could be capable of starting for the Jets at corner before the end of his first season. Bradley Roby has character concerns but is a player who John Idzik has spent extensive time with during the pre-draft process, which might help him make up his mind about the man despite his very recent run-in with the law. Maybe Roby won't land in the second round as he was projected to, but he might be an option for the Jets should he slide to the third. Roby is a speedy corner and has the burst to close on the football, but will the character issues be too much for Idzik to look past?
Rice's Phillip Gaines has had a lot of buzz around him since scouts got to take a look at him during practices at the East-West Shrine Game. Since then, Gaines has impressed during his workouts, but will need some polishing on his footwork. Desir and SJB are both excellent athletes who have press-coverage potential, but will need some time in working with the Jets coaching staff before they are ready to take the next step.
Day Three Options: Loucheiz Purifoy (Florida), Antone Exum (Virginia Tech), Clemson (Bashaud Breeland)
Purifoy can play press coverage, but it tends to fall apart the further down the field he tracks his target. Exum is a hard hitting player out of Frank Beamer's program, but might be better off converting to safety. Breeland has fair size and speed to play cornerback, but his lack of ideal speed might get him in trouble. Even so, Breeland is a ball-hawk, leading the Tigers in passes defensed in 2013. Breeland needs work on his press skills, but he would have been watched closely by Rex Ryan all year due to the Seth Ryan tie-in to the Clemson program. Is Breeland a lump of clay that Ryan could work with?
Nice to see Verrett finally getting some respect as a 1st round CB. I still say he's drafted in the top 25. Trade back for him and groom him to replace Wilson and become one of the best slot corners in the league.
But if you give him the chance to compete with Patterson, he might just win a starting spot this year.
Dennard or Fuller would also be fine with me, although Dennard could lead the league in PI's until Thurman works with him awhile.
Dennard, Fuller, Verrett....lets go Idzik....land us a stud Corner.....WR in 2nd round....this draft cant get here soon enough
1st round you trade down, maybe Browns at 26, add a 4th rd pick
1st rd: CB Roby
2nd rd: TE Jenkins
3rd rd: WR Moncrief
4th rd: WR Huff ILB Skov OLB Hubbard FS Reynolds
would be a A+ draft for them in first 4 rds
an up an coming team. idzik has gotten rave reviews by the true insiders for his off season maneuvering and the jets have in my opinion one of the if not the best coach in football. i see this team doing BIG things. maybe not this year but give it 2-3 years.
I've been reading this thread and it is really good. I like Fuller, and I think the Jets do too. Also, I think the Jets are expecting something more out of Hill this year. So, what I would like to see is the Jets trade with Eagles down to 22, pick up another 4th. I would then select the following
1 Kyle Fuller
2 Jordan Mathews
3. CJ Fiedorowicz
Then with 4, 4th round picks start building depth, hopefully including Exum or McGill in the 4th.
OBJ, ASJ, SJB, rounds 1-3. Could happen? Has a nice ring to it!!!!!!
I think Kyle Fuller is the best CB in this draft and thats who I would take at 18, if we take a Corner. He's big, physical, runs in the 4.4's, terrific in man-press coverage, great hips, great anticipation and he blankets WR's all over the field. He also knows how to make plays on the ball without committing a penalty, something too many NFL CB's can't seem to figure out. I like Dennard too, a lot, I just like Fuller a little more.
I could see them taking two CB's--first, second or third round and 5th or 6th round. I like Dennard in the first, if he falls to them at 18. I also like the idea of trading down in the round and taking Verrett. Everyone seems to be assuming that he can't play outside because of his size--but the very next thing they say is "he plays bigger than his size". He has tremendous ball skills and a great vertical leap. If we wait until the 2nd or 3rd round, I like Roby (2nd) and Baptiste (3rd). If Purifoy or Breeland are available in the 5th, I would go for either one of them.
You can never have too many corners--especially when Milliner and Patterson have a history of getting injured. And Wilson is a free agent after this year. It will be interesting to see how much interest the Jets have in signing him. He never quite lived up to the hype of being a 1st round pick, but he has developed into a dependable inside CB.
Anybody watching Derek Carr on Gruden football camp? Impressive QB & man. Calls his own plays. Maybe Cleveland will try to trade up with us to get him.
If our offense isn't 100% better, we'll need the '85 Bears defense to help us.
Still wondering why Idzik didn't pursue a corner in FA?
After watching the Mets last night I just want to cry and hug the Jets and never let them go
I don't think Jets will go CB in the first. Even top-rated CB's in this draft will likely have minimal immediate impact due to learning curve, and the depth of talent at the position in this draft says they can land a quality corner in the third or fourth round and don't need to spend a top pick to get one.
Suspect they want an immediate impact player in the first..a WR to pair with Decker, a TE to bring another dimension to the O, or, my sleeper if Evans, Cooks, ODJ and Ebron are all gone, a big fatty like Lewan or Zack Martin, and perhaps even Su'a Filo.
Any of these guys are instant starters, even with a rookie learning curve, and will probably be more productive sooner than even a Gilbert or Dennard.
Jv would be a nice pick
I'm really feeling the Phillip Gaines pick.
Fans and the media would absolutely lose thier minds but it wouldn't shock me if the first three picks of the Jets were:
Calvin Pryor, Phillip Gaines, Jarvis Landry.
Cimini's take on Kyle Fuller from today:
@RichCimini: I'd put Kyle Fuller in the mix, for sure. I don't know this for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Jets have Fuller rated ahead of Justin Gilbert. He'd be a better scheme fit because of his ability to play every discipline at cornerback -- man, zone, press, off, etc. Gilbert is a brilliant athlete, but he lacks toughness. Personally, I think corner is a bigger need than receiver, but it's really hard to say how they have them stacked up on the board. It could very well come down to a choice between Gilbert, Fuller, Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandin Cooks. Tough call.
No love for Fuller, the guy I've been talking about this whole time.
Man, either the world loves to spite me by constantly ignoring the guys I always talk about during the draft or my eyes are made of different material than everyone elses'.
Why so much love for Dennard? Dudes an NFL safety. He can get physical all he wants at the next level, he may see himself beat more than Milliner.
I hope we take the best WR on the board at18 then trade up to the top of the second for the best CB left on the board........after that, all will be gravy!
We have 3 starting caliber CB's. Not elite but 3 starting level players (Milliner, Patterson, Wilson) and potentially 3 more to be groomed (Lankster, Walls, Dowling). Bassett is definitely overstating our need for a Cb.
There's a rumor Marquise Lee could fall to the 2nd round....I hope the Jets don't draft a CB in round 1 but if they do the dream scenario would be getting Lee somewhere in round 2 (even if they have to trade up a few spots)
@nickballs I definitely was a defensive back in the first (Pryor, Gilbert, Dennard or J. Ward). If none of these players are available then it has to be BPA...TE, WR, O-Line, CB etcetera...Whoever is at the top of their board I'll be cool with.
@ny12jets Don't fill yourself up on fuller. I think he will be a good corner in this league but for team that plays off-man....Otherwise I'd love the Jets to draft him and make him a safety...
@dobermite he's not good at press-man...where did you hear that?
@dobermite if you are right. then he probably won't be there when the jets pick.
Mt favorite of the Tier 2 Corners is Pierre Desir. Good size and speed and he might be the best ballhawk of any CB in this draft. If we don't draft a Corner in RD 1, Desir is the guy I'm hoping for.
The 85 Bears or 2000 Ravens...and curiously Rex has links to both.
Idzik did pursue CB's in FAcy, but he had narrow parameters of who and how much and couldn't seal the deal. So be it. That ship has sailed.
Fortunately, the O should be very much better this year. Decker and CJ get the ball rolling, as does Vick, even if he doesn't start. Gotta think Geno will be better, we'll see by how much.
Now add another top quality WR, one of the top four TE's, and a dynamic play-maker like DAT or Dri Archer on both O and ST in this draft and you have the makings of a formidable offense. I'd like to bolster the OL, as well, but the priority is to acquire weapons.
I like camping in a RV
I would be so happy if the Jets drafted Jarvis Landry
Fuller is another guy I could see trading back in round 1 for--a bit of a reach at #18, but he'll probably be there 5 or 10 picks later. And if we could pick up another 2nd or 3rd round pick to make the move, I'd do it.
@a57se If this draft is allegedly so "WR rich", we should get the best corner in the first, and a WR in the second.
strongly disagree. WE would be sacrificing depth for the opportunity to snag a CB that will more than likely need a year to get his feet wet, as would a CB at 49 or later.
Say it takes 2,3, and 4 to move up. Hypotheticaly speaking, would you be willing to trade, Niklas, McGill and Archer for Roby? (feel free to switch all the players and make your own scenario )
I see no reason to trade up.
If Rex played more Cover 2 they would be fine. But because Rex doesn't give his CB's a lot of help and teams try to exploit his defense with quick passes, he needs a certain type of CB to let the DL do it's thing.
That's why when Cro was playing off the WR's last year and bit on the first move he got beat deep often. It took Milliner most of the season to start playing the way Rex wanted and Milliner has big time ability.
@harold I was thinking the same thing the other day. Kyle Wilson did a decent job as a No2 the year Revis went down. Even if a CB from this years draft doesn't start this year, our CB situation is far from week. Though, Rex's dream style defense falls apart pretty quickly without good press corners.
@bradysucks I can almost bet Lee will not fall to the second round, he's not going to be this year s Geno Smith
@bradysucks If he did the Jets would have to move up in the second to snag him.
@bradysucks Getting Dennard and Lee in the first two rounds would be pretty sweet.
@Hazard2012 Good post!
I am a bit worried about our CB situation. Milliner ended the season on a good trend, but we'll have to see if it continues, and who we draft. Knowing Cro was a goner, they should have tended to his replacement unless Idzik has something up his sleeve.
@jetsfan14 I'm open to trading back as well. We'd probably pick up a 3rd
Your logic is incorrect.
It is a deep WR class but there are only a handful of top prospects and they will be LONG GONE by the time our 2nd round pick rolls around.
You forget about Walls. Walls looked like the best cover corner we had (last season). Darin remind mr of a Rookie Revis, great recovery and all the effort. Sure Walls gave up some catches but the potential was there.
Btw, you guys can hate on Hill all you want but the many times I lost my marbles because he was not looked at when open...... I don't care if he would have dropped the ball, you hit the open man then hope for the best. I mean, I understand if they threw him the ball and he dropped or flat out mafe no effort but to look at stats and games with no catches and to get at him, when Bent broke down that he was open.... clownery.
@marcus81 @bradysucks
who is though?
I personally would have signed one of the top CB's in FAcy...so I didn't have another huge hole to fill. I'm not enthused about the secondary as a whole. Lots of question marks. Many feel they're equal to the task, but I have serious doubts.
They should be good enough to hold the fort until help arrives, however; especially if we get an edge rusher in this draft. That will take a little of the pressure off some of the coverage issues.
He wasn't asked to do it a lot. But he's very physical, they had him play a hybrid run-stopping LB role on occasion. I don't think he'd have any problem with it.
Let me correct myself....your logic is sound IF the Quality of WR's ready to step into the NFL were deep. That isn't the case. There are 13 early entry WR's in the top 15 while the CB's only have 3 early entry prospects in the top 15......the CB class is a more experienced bunch and the experience goes pretty deep in this class.
The WR's are deep but in projects........
@a57se Which position is deeper? WR.
Both positions have "a handful of top prospects," but you can get a starting-quality prospect at WR later in the draft, which makes Lloyd's logic sound.
Hill really got a raw deal being drafted by the Jets. For a raw talent, he had to endure a 2012 Sanchez and 2013 Smith. Wonder what his career would have been if he got drafted by the Pats, Broncos, NO, or GB?

Southern Maryland Drug Dealer Sentenced to Over 20 Years in Prison
Greenbelt, Maryland - U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus sentenced Dewey Irvin Carroll, age 29, of Oxon Hill, Maryland, today to 250 months in prison, followed by ten years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to Carroll's plea agreement, from November 2007 through July 2008, he conspired with Jamohl Swann, Otis Harris, Jerry Bannister and others to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine in Charles County and Prince George's County, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Carroll and Swann also sold and distributed ecstasy. Carroll and Swann obtained the drugs from sources in Maryland and New Jersey, often storing the drugs at Carroll's residence. During the course of the conspiracy, Carroll, Jamohl Swann and other conspirators used cellular telephones to conduct their drug business. Swann and Carroll were overheard by law enforcement discussing sending another conspirator to New Jersey to obtain cocaine. Swann also called Carroll and others to let them know when the cocaine and crack cocaine was ready to be picked up for distribution. Over the course of the conspiracy, Carroll was responsible for the distribution of over five kilograms of cocaine and 150 grams of crack cocaine.
A search warrant executed at Carroll's residence on July 10, 2008 recovered a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun, $1,746 in cash and 93.6 grams of crack cocaine. Carroll had a previous conviction and was prohibited from possessing a gun.
Otis Renaldo Harris, age 36 of Washington, D.C., and Jerry Carlos Bannister, age 38, of Indian Head, Maryland, were sentenced to 280 months in prison and 220 months in prison, respectively, Jamohl Swann, age 30, of Fort Washington, Maryland, previously pleaded guilty and faces a maximum penalty of life in prison. Judge Titus has scheduled his sentencing for January 27, 2010, at 9:00 a.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Drug Enforcement Administration, Charles County Sheriff Rex Coffey and his office, IRS-Criminal Investigation and St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron and his office, the Prince George's County Police Department and the Montgomery County Police Department for their investigative work in this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorneys James A. Crowell IV and Jonathan Su, who prosecuted the case.
Help us combat the proliferation of sexual exploitation crimes against children.
