A star turn and an engaging film
9 / 10
A scantily clad national treasure in the form of David Beckham, plus Guy Ritchie in the director's chair, meant this H&M ad for Beckham's signature line of underwear was always going to be a success online.
The film mixes action with humorous scenes in the beautiful residential scenery of Los Angeles and is set against a cool track (Don't Stop by Foster the People).
The ad starts with 'Goldenballs' catching his dressing gown in the door of the car that is taking his sons to school, then getting locked out of his house - possibly by a mischievous bulldog. What follows is Beckham in a madcap pursuit of the car through bushes, a football game and even a swimming pool - a device that ensures Beckham is glistening.
He is rumoured to have used a 'bottom double' for some scenes, but that does not detract from a star turn and an engaging film.
Dell shows off its convertible Ultrabook with this film depicting 'creator of an alternate universe' Thomas, an office worker who is creating a graphic novel inspired by his daily commute.
Ikea promotes its storage range by showing how DJ Harry Love uses it to organise his collection of 4500 records and make room for his family life.
HP Sauce was one of many brands to run a Valentine's Day-themed viral last week. The film, created by M&C Saatchi, is a tongue-in-cheek guide for men on how to successfully navigate the day.

Ways & Means Group Exhibition feat. Talci Walci - Ab-Frag
17 Jun 2014 – 21 Jun 2014
Event times
11.00am - 6.00pm
Cost of entry
New Exhibition showing Talci Walci - AbFrag Abstract Fragmentationism A new ism in the making?
AboutWays and Means is a group showing of 10 emerging artists, which includes the new abstract style of artist Talci Walci. Talci Walci's latest series of pictures demonstrate a unique graphic abstract style, embellished with fragmented linear imagery, resulting in expressive, distinctive works that project mysterious and unfamiliar overtones.. Web link to view online Flickr Photostream https://www.flickr.com/photos/120359004@N07/ His paintings are effectively the realization of highly controlled designs, yet were conceived and initially drawn with an invented technique mixed with intuitive energy, whereas his wall-mounted installations exhibit a more geometrical and minimalist approach to his inherent style of subjective communication. From A Conversation with Talci Walci article by Wingshan Smith \\\"Talci Walci's abstract work evokes playful readings similar to those one would interpret when looking at clouds. The shapes and colours are mesmerizing, and extend in bold protruding curves and angles that started life from semi-automatic drawings on a computer which were then cropped, superimposed and blocked in with solid tones. He gestures to two of his paintings in the gallery that are side by side and tells me that they both originated from the same drawing. One is coloured in exciting pinks, greens, reds and blues. In this painting I can see elongated figures and faces, dancing together in the moonlight. It is like a party on a coast, somewhere beautiful and magnificent. In the painting next to it, the composition is more busy, with less negative spaces. Whereas the first seems like you are looking at a typical painting of a scene, this one is like a bird\\\'s-eye view of red, oranges and browns. It is more like an ants\\\' nest in the midday heat. Placed side by side in the exhibition space, Talci Walci comments on how drastically different a work can be if approached from another place in time and space. These works are experiments of the transience of time and varied changing perceptions according to personal moods, days and environmental experiences. In this way Talci creates an open dialogue between himself and the viewer.\\\" AB FRAG Ab-Frag (abbr. Abstract Fragmentationism) is an art-movement term used to describe a style akin to abstract expressionism, but with graphic or âhard-edge' portrayal of fragmented appearance. Initiated in 2013 by British artist Talci Walci, the style originates from a semi-automatic drawing method combined with an application process using translucent acrylic paint. Whilst invented as a painting technique characterized by the absence of gestural brushstrokes, the style is transferable across alternative media.

Camden Underworld
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2007)

On Writing, Depression and Other Whining
Lately, my funny bone has been tucked somewhere up under my ass and I can't seem to find it with two hands and a flashlight. It's sad, really, because when I start getting too serious, life just isn't as much fun. I don't know how many of you go through depression, but I fight the demon fairly regularly. Most of the time, I win, but it can take days and sometimes weeks. I have to have a trigger to go into depression, something such as too godamned much homework, constant frustrations of job hunting, and the fucking tax man. When I get depressed, I don't write unless I have to and I certainly don't talk to people very much. I withdraw into myself. I heard that is not normal for an extrovert such as me. But then, who the hell ever figured out that any kind of depression is normal? Are those brilliant people making a lot of money, because if they are, I want to ride that gravy train? I can make up stupid shit, too.
Back on topic (always thinking up ways to make money. It's my Achilles). In just the last week, I've had two papers to write, 3 to 5 pages in length, about the books I read the first week in school. I managed those, along with the massive reading and now two more books for next week. Yea, grad school is fun, and Not Easy, but I'm such a stubborn bitch, I'm going to make it through. Even if I pull all my hair out and have to walk the graduation platform bald. I will strut my bald self up that aisle and 'pretend flip' my hair while accepting that degree and vowing Never to step foot in another fucking institution of higher learning as long as I live. Yes, it will be a proud day for me and my family. Well me. My family may be hiding behind their ceremonial programs, pretending their graduate has not come forward yet. Keep in mind, I am bald at this point, and 'pretend hair flipping'. 'Nuff said.
So, I miss writing just for the pure joy of it. I've decided to put yet another little morsel on my daily plate, in order to blend some balance back into my dull and boring existence. (poor pitiful me….get out your little violins). I read in a book called, Writing Down the Bones by Nathalie Goldberg (thanks for the referral Nancy!) that you should set aside some time every day to write. And by writing, the author means to write with wild abandonment, not worrying about structure or spelling or even page borders. She says just to write. It's called Writing Practice. I enjoyed her book, and am convinced that this is something I need to do, so each morning I will grab a cup of coffee and just write my little heart out for half an hour. Then I will start my day. What do you all think about that? Waste of time or good idea? Does anyone out there already do this, and if so, how's it working for you?
As for the sketching, I don't have a plan to sketch every day, yet. I can't start too many new things at once or I am doomed to fail. Anyone wants to join me in this writing adventure, email me. email@example.com
We can swap ideas or just bitch and moan. Couldn't hurt. I'm hoping this extra writing every day will help in several ways, one being to stave off that demon called depression. We shall see.
Film at eleven.
That's a rap.
Later tater.
After while crocodile.
Rock on.
Moshi moshi.
Arrivederci Roma.
Yo Momma.
You hang up first…..
No, you hang up first….

Started Working on Some New Ideas
I have gotten to thinking about new types of medical alert systems. It was something I got to thinking about when my girlfriend was talking about some of the classes that she takes as a pre med student. I know nothing about the topics of Health and Medicine to be specific, aside from the fact that there is a lot of money in the field. In particular there seems to be a big need for automation and efficiency in medical information systems. I would guess that the future could hold some weird things in this idea. For instance you can use something like a bar code, it would need to be very discrete, but of course you could make it very tiny and you could achieve the idea in a number of ways. The idea is very simple. Continue reading
Too Many Junk Food Cravings
I have always had a weight problem. It started when I was just a kid, because my mom loved to use food to solve all of our problems. If I had a bad day at school, she made me cookies. If I had a fight with a friend, she'd bake me cupcakes. There was food for every tragedy, and I was always plump. I made better choices when I moved out years later, but I could not get my weight down. That all changed when I discovered Pure Garcinia, a supplement that has really helped me with my food cravings.
The problem was not that I was overeating a lot, but that I had cravings for all the sugary treats that my mom still makes to this day. Instead of having an apple, I would have a slice of apple pie. Continue reading
Best Medical Systems for Health Monitoring
My mother lives alone and I am worried that something bad could happen to her, if she continues to live in her house alone without any sort of backup or safeguard to make sure that she is able to get the help she needs in case of a medical emergency. She has already had a heart attack once in her life, but that was 15 years ago. She is pretty old now and I want to read about the different medical alert systems that are on the market at this point in time, and to try to learn more about their differences and their relative strengths and weaknesses, so that i will be able to figure out which one is going to be the best for my mother to have put into her house.
I would try to get he a cell phone to use in case of an emergency but she refuses to even try to learn how to use one, and that is kind of frustrating. But I guess that it is just the way things are. I think she would still have a rotary phone in her house, if she could. But I guess that she has adapted to the times a little bit. Just not with regards to cell phones or computers.
Anyway, I need to get her some sort of small device that she will be able to wear on her body, in order to signal the authorities, or rather, EMTs, if she is in need of some sort of help. She has a bad knee, and even though she has never fallen before, I worry that it is something that could happen. I really just hope that it does not happen any time soon. I want my mother to be around as long as possible.

Can I say something about Newt? I feel Newt -- we need a little on the pro-Newt side balance. One thing that I think Newt has going for him is we're a nation of insiders, in a way. Everybody's always on the Internet reading stuff. The base of the Republican Party knows that the establishment of the Republican Party doesn't like Newt. That's a big plus.
Second thing is, I mean, on the base -- the second is that Newt's debate strategy was so fresh and so spoke to Republicans. He did this. He said, I'm not going to fight with the other guys here. They'd all be a better president than Obama. What I'm going to do is tell you what we -- what we have to do to get out of the mess we're in. Plus, I'm going to hate the media for you and take them on.
AMANPOUR: But isn't that the point, though? It is his debate performance that's sort of propelled him sort of where he is right now, after the bad debate performance...
KRUGMAN: It was his time. I mean, people -- the Republican base does not want Romney, and they keep on looking for an alternative. And Newt, although somebody said he's a stupid man's idea of what a smart man sounds like, but he is more plausible than the other guys that they've been pushing up.
AMANPOUR: OK, very quickly...
NOONAN: He also knows how to make the case for conservative thinking at surprising moments.
AMANPOUR: Herman Cain, is he in or out now?
WILL: He's out. He's done. I want to stay with Ron Paul for just a second. You said look out for him in six weeks, seven weeks. Look for him in eight months. He's not running for Congress again. He could be a third-party candidate. He has dedicated people in place. If he got 4 percent of the vote, there are a whole number of states with electoral votes he can tip over with those.
AMANPOUR: All right.
NOONAN: He would absolutely give the race to Obama.
AMANPOUR: All right. And we will come back again with the roundtable, because up next, as the super-committee barrels toward oblivion, a Washington odd couple tries to break through the gridlock on Capitol Hill. Republican Senator Marco Rubio and Democrat Chris Coons on a prescription for action. They still have hope.
AMANPOUR: Americans right now are watching yet another scene of dysfunctional government play out here in Washington. After all else failed, the super-committee was conceived as a bipartisan solution to America's debt woes.
Right now, though, it's poised on the brink of failure. Still, freshmen senators Marco Rubio of Florida and Chris Coons of Delaware, a Republican and a Democrat, are trying to sow hope in this gloom. They've put together a jobs plan that they believe everyone can support. It's called American Growth, Recovery, Empowerment, and Entrepreneurs Act, also known as AGREE. They say it's small, but it's a start, nonetheless.
AMANPOUR: Senators, thank you very much for joining me. Let me ask you first, Senator Rubio, you have said that this is not an earth-shattering bill that you're proposing. Just how many jobs do you think it will create?

I think we can all agree Mario Chalmers is out of his mind with statements like this from a recent interview.
Brian Windhorst @WindhorstESPN
Mario Chalmers on ranking among PGs: Id say top 10. Im not in the lower part (of top 10), Im in the middle part."

you guys should check out the RAPM for this season lol i was so disgusted by it.
Irving is a great player, but his team really sucks.
Curry is an incredibly efficient player, who is playing very well for a team that is playing very well and exceeding expectations.
I'm a little bit biased against Westbrook. I wholeheartedly believe that he hurts his team. OKC really should have managed to trade Westbrook and keep Harden. The Thunder will never win a championship if Westbrook is the guy taking the most shots on there team.
I'm always happy to discuss anything from hoops, to hockey, to reality TV with anyone that is polite no matter what their opinion. With that said if you are disrespectful or dishonest poster please do not expect a reply.

if presented correctly by interested promoters could be credible and top of the page contenders.
Absolutely. If those ****ers actually fought each other, and other credible opponents, didn't take lengthy breaks recovering from injuries, landing themselves in jail or just being lazy ****s then you'd have a decent bunch of contenders on your hands.
Banks, Jennings and even Mitchell are the best of the bunch because they've actually been willing to mix it up with solid level fighters. Chambers and Cunningham even more so.
Fighters become good through fighting, not by some mystical athleticism index. That's always been the case.

Once again , we stopped off for lunch at this hotel. It has a very welcoming bar lounge and nice staff.
Their bar menu is very good as is the quality. However, our favourite is the steak and ale pie with a puff pastry topping. There are many pubs and bars that could do with being able to provide this quality of steak which is so tender with a sauce that is so rich. The puff pastry is so flaky it almost falls apart as you put a knife in it. If we lived nearer we would be there more often. Do try this very comfortable quality bar and the food. less

Booked the hotel with our Best Western Rewards points via Bestwestern.com as we always do. A wee overnight stop to break up a very long journey. When we arrived the receptionist was very pleasant & started checking us in. As my husband went to sign the paperwork I noticed that something had been written on the sheet. When asking what it was for she told us we had a £20 charge for being in a family room for extra bed.
We questioned the charge and she said she would speak to manager about it, but he wasn't available as he was in the kitchen at that time. She also told us that to get the best rates we should phone the hotel & not go through Best western.
Went up to our room, pretty tired looking & Ivy going through the windows. Also hair clips everywhere (even in the toilet!) which would make me question the cleaning. But hey it was somewhere to sleep for the night.
Went down for some food in the bar. The girl who had checked us in served us drinks & told us £20 charge was to stand because we had booked via the Internet & only booked a double room but brought our daughter and they only stay free in existing bedding.
Having stayed at many Best westerns (BW) before neither my husband or myself could quite get our heads around the additional charge. So when we finished dinner went to reception again, the receptionist got the manager to speak to us.
Told him we didn't really understand charge as asked for "put me up in room for daughter if possible" on our booking via the Internet. His reply "well you should of made it clearer" explained that we had never encountered this in any BW before when he told us it was BW policy to which he backtracked & told us it was the owners policy.
He was becoming increasingly irate with us, my husband said he wanted to speak to the owner, but he said he wouldn't be in until Monday. We told him we would would also speak to Best Western.
as we were leaving to go back to our room I told him that there was Ivy growing in through the windows. He snapped at me that it had all been trimmed back today so couldn't be.
We went back up to our room. By this point his attitude had really irritated my husband so he went back down to show him the pictures of the Ivy in the window. His response "you only took those to get your room discounted" he then said to my husband don't raise your voice at me, which he hadn't, and walked away. My husband then said we are just trying to understand why you have charged us when no other BW ever has. The response "well if your not happy you can always leave and I'll refund your reward points".
Shortly afterwards the female receptionist came up to the room and said the manager had spoken to the owner and said that they would waive the charge on this "occasion".
If anyone has made it to the bottom of this review then please let me say that we have no issue paying our way (we wouldn't have BW points if we didn't) Had the manager treated us & our issue/query without the attitude we would of just taken the hit with the £20 & learnt for next time. Unfortunately a written review cannot really convey how poor his attitude & demeanour were towards us.
I would hate to see how he would handle a serious issue from someone who is really upset.
My other issue is that the charge was not pointed out to us on check in & would have been a nice surprise when we checked out in the morning had I not noticed it on the paperwork.

Our 3rd stay here and the hotel offers comfort,tranquility and an excellent location. Car parking is good and the service is excellent. Not a severe criticism but the menu is somewhat limited and could do with a more varied choice rather than trying to go "upmarket" with the fancy drizzle options. Otherwise great. less

The Message audio Bible is now available on Bible Gateway! Click to learn more.
23:1–12 Job's thoughts vacillate. In ch. 9 he doubted God would give him a hearing. In ch. 13 he is convinced he will get a hearing and be vindicated. In 17:1 he is convinced only death awaits him, but also his counselors will not triumph and he will be vindicated (17:10–16). That conviction reaches its zenith in 19:25–27, and from then on he never again doubts it, as these verses and especially ch. 31 prove.

TBH I'm not entirely sure why I'm doing this but it's good fun.
Annnyyywaaay I'm having a few problems with it, mostly concerning the metal parts. I'm not entirely sure about how to go about making metal look more...metaly. Same with the leather strap...and fur... XD I'm working on them.
Yeah..Anyway this is mostly me trying out a new style. It's very odd paint over the lineart rather than under it... However I do like having opacity set to pressure.

Hey, I think this is looking good so far.
I really like the way the fur is coming. Interesting idea, a griffin without feathers.
For the metal, I think you are doing a pretty good job so far, it looks to me like metal already, although you could include sharper edged highlights. Right now the highlights blend more smoothly, so while it still looks metallic, it appears tarnished or like brushed metal.
Good stuff! Rock on!
...my humble and uneducated opinion.
January 29th, 2009 #3
Ooh, great work so far! The fur looks great! ^_^ Also love the intricate pattern on the beak, and I agree with Mute about the "brushed metal" look.
If you want to make the leather strap more realistic, try adding a faint scaley/rough texture to it. I'll post a couple of reference links for bridle straps and leather textures.

USI basketball recruits get crash course in Screaming Eagles dynamics
The No. 1 worry about new recruits at the University of Southern Indiana may be homesickness.
"Every freshman gets those long nights," said Rodney Watson, USI's men's basketball coach. "This helps get it out of their system."
He was talking about five weeks of early morning workouts and afternoon pickup games that ended Thursday. Several of the Screaming Eagles' returning players and all four of their newest players took part.
No coaches could have contact with them, according to NCAA rules. But there they were anyway, at 6 a.m. Monday through Friday, lifting weights at the Physical Activities Center for an hour and a half, then either going to a job or to classes, returning later in the day for informal scrimmages in PAC Arena (on weekends, they were encouraged to go home).
The idea behind it all was team building — getting junior-college transfers DeAndre McCamey, Aaron Nelson and Manny Ogunfolu and freshman Nick Hutcheson familiar with USI's routine.
"Once they (return) in August, they can hit the ground running so there's very little wasted time for them," said Watson.
Every one of the four discovered something about themselves or their new teammates.
McCamey, a 6-foot junior point guard: "The biggest thing I learned from these open-gym games — nobody likes losing."
Ogunfolu, a 6-7 junior forward: "One thing that's different (from junior college) is everybody can shoot. You've got to learn to go out there (after the shooters) with your hands up all the time."
Nelson, a 6-8 forward who has dropped his weight from 280 pounds to 247: "I'm getting back my mobility, my explosiveness, my athleticism."
Hutcheson, a 6-7 forward: "Catching passes — they throw them so much harder (in college). I'll set a screen and roll off it and (the passes) will come in pretty fast. I've been hit in the face a couple of times."
Meanwhile, they were learning how to work with starters such as senior shooting guard/point guard Kenyon Smith, junior point guard Lawrence Thomas and junior forwards Taylor Wischmeier and Austin Davis and former starting forward Romaric Lasme.
"With this open gym, you find out what certain people can do," said McCamey, adding that Thomas and Smith have been invaluable sources of information about what is expected of him. "They give me little hints on how to do certain things. And they never put themselves first."
Ogunfolu worked on what Watson expects from him.
"He wants me to run the floor, rebound, score inside and knock down midrange jump shots," said Ogunfolu, who averaged 17.0 points and 10.6 rebounds last season at Frederick (Md.) Community College. "Oh, yeah, and block shots."
Meanwhile, Hutcheson has been learning to vary his game. Strictly a post player at Greencastle (Ind.) High School — where he became one of only 10 players in Indiana high school history to score 1,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds — he's been working on his pull-up jump shot, his dribbling and finding out what he can't do in college.
"You can't push people around like in high school and you can't out-jump everybody," he said.
Now it's over, at least until the fall semester starts Aug. 20.
"They need to get away," said Watson. "It's a really good break for them."

Life's a gift and I want to enjoy all that God gives me. I love taking good care of family and friends .... I'm always thinking of ways to make life better for those close to me. My career is important to me and I do love being part of something bigger than just myself. The flip side of that is that I'm not looking to give all my time and energy to my career. Balance is very important to me. If you think about it, there's so much out there to see and to experience ... Who wants to spend all their time in the office ? I think you'll find me to be genuine and sincere ... kind of a " what you see is what you get " type of person. My philosophy of life is " just be yourself and everything else will fall into place ".

Hey guys,
I've been looking days on end for the ideal laptop to fulfill my needs, however I still can't
seem to find that laptop.
When I mean mid-price I mean a laptop no more than $1,150. I know its more edged towards the upper mid-range but whatever.
What I want exactly? So I want to be able to play games like Crysis, Battlefield 2, CoD (newer versions). Mostly modern FPSs. I could list more genres like MMORPGs but I believe FPS games are the most demanding in comparison to the former. I also want to be able to play these at at least medium high quality.
Please, I know there are many gamers who despise laptops out there but I'm going to college soon and do not want to buy a desktop, I know as a fact that that is the better option. But I don't want to be that much of a gamer, its not really about looking like one gamer or another, its just not practical to buy a desktop now.
So yea, it would be great if this laptop would also slightly be portable and have a decent design, having decent multimedia features as well as being able to run Photoshop nicely or certain, high-end music editing/creation software.
I'm hoping I can get good advice and hope that my journey for laptop searching ends here.
Thanks in advance ;)

"This is an excellent series, which hits the target at a remarkable number of levels. The clarity of its reference points makes it ideal for students new to undergraduate study, while at the same time being the perfect 'refresher' book for students about to start on professional courses. More than that, the series is great as a 'starter pack' for non-specialist students covering elements of law as part of their wider studies, and invaluable for teaching international students studying the English common law from abroad." FIONA E.C. KING LAW LECTURER (for almost 30 years in Universities & Business Schools in the UK and Europe) "What a relief! A book I can understand quickly. I'll be using these this year" SECOND YEAR UNDERGRADUATE "an excellent starting point for any enthusiastic reviser. The books are concise and get right down to the nitty-gritty of each topic."

Overall Experience
Kitchen Gym and Laundry made it perfect!
July 03, 2015
Traveling for business, you are often forced to eat at restaurants and other means of fast food. Having a kitchen is a nice amenity for long term stays, although the area lacks a grocery store nearby. The gym had equipment for upper body work outs, not just the standard treadmill or cycling machine. Big points for that Staybridge and my tired back thanks you.
Comfortable bed and good location
June 22, 2015
this hotel was exactly what I needed for my business stay. convenient location, comfortable room and overall a good experience. My only complaint was the noise in the hall throughout the night. Adjacent rooms did not control their children and they ran the halls until late hours. Also, the breakfast food options were awful. I would stay here again but I would ask to be on the end of the hall away from the ice machine and elevators!
Great suite fr the price
June 22, 2015
My friends and I brought our kids for a trip to the Toledo Zoo. Maumee is a close, 10 minute ride. The provided meals at the hotel were great, they even have cocktails for $1. The two bedroom suite was exactly what we needed to accommodate our three kids and three adults.
Noisy, dirty and expensive
June 19, 2015
We have stayed at this hotel eight times over past few years when visiting relatives in Toledo. Quality is trending downhill.
Very noisy with drinking on patio open until midnight. Screaming children everywhere.
No full room cleaning over seven night stay/dirty.
Highest rates in Toledo area - not worth it.

posted at 1/8/2009 8:59 PM ESTsurprised nobody mentioned Percey Harvin and Jeremy Maclin.
these guys are both the short, speedsters ala lee evans, deion branch, devin hester, steve smith, ted ginn, steve slaton, santana moss, brian westbrook and reggie bush.
with kevin faulk still awesome, but we can't count on him forever.
1st round -- Percy Harvin or Jermaine Gresham
2nd round -- offensive tackle
3rd round -- offensive tackle or guard
All other picks - defense.

The safety from Okl Nic Harris has cleat marks all over him from Tebow steamrolling him.

posted at 1/9/2009 5:45 AM ESTOne guy the Pats could look at for TE is James Casey from Rice. I saw him play in person several times the past couple years. Former baseball player, I think he's 24 and probably goes about 6'3" and 250. Great hands and tremendous productivity in college (111 catches this past season). If it's a deep draft at TE...and I think it is...they could likely get this guy is the 3rd round or thereabouts. Unless Gresham falls into their lap I'd use the higher picks on defense and more defense...or possibly the OL.
posted at 1/9/2009 8:52 AM ESTWe are seeing alot of juniors declare which could mean some quality players will fall. I don't think some will fall enough for the Pats to draft them (Malauaga, Mays, or Curry)but there will be quality present when the Pats are on the clock. I like Gresham, but it is difficult for me to see the Pats drafting a TE with there 1st round pick. I can't see them getting a RB either; when healthy Faulk, Ellis, Jordan and Morris (and even Maroney) make a decent rotation. And RBs are a dime a dozen, they could draft one in the 3rd that could be Faulk's eventual replacement. The only way the Pats draft offensive players is for the O LIne or TE with their first 4 picks. Of the 11 picks the Pats have (I think ?) 6 or seven could be defensive players. Addressing OLB, ILB, SS and even CB could be the mindset. ZB mentioned drafting an undersized DE (for the 3-4) and converting him to OLB and I think that could happen. I like LOadholt on O Line, but there is depth there in the draft so it could be a 2nd or 3rd round pick for the O Line. I also have this feeling that the Pats will draft a a WR. Moss has a two-year deal and they could always improve on GAFFNEY as the 3rd wr.(PS there is depth there too).
posted at 1/9/2009 2:44 PM EST53,
I Always thought that straight up trade of a franchised Cassel for a franchised Dansby would be interesting. Double sign and trade.
posted at 1/10/2009 5:45 AM ESTZB, Isn't Dansby a 4-3 backer ? Not saying he would be a bad acquisition, just pointing it out. Suggs and Ashmougha would still be the big defensive acquisitions ($$$$), but I still like Dawan Landry for less $$$ for the SS spot. Wasn't Dansby franchised last year ? DO the Cards keep Warner ? Are there any OLineman the Pats could acquire in free agency ?
posted at 1/10/2009 6:02 AM EST[Quote]Mayo is 6'1, and Spikes is 6'3. Players usually get bigger their first couple of years in the NFL. He should be around 250+ by the time he plays his 1st NFL game, he's definitely bigger than Mayo. In a perfect world we trade up for Aaron Curry or Rey Maualuga, but Spikes isn't a bad option either, he plays with a lot of heart and emotion and some compare him to Ray Lewis.[/Quote]
Great analysis. I agree. It is so easy to be sold on a player like Spikes. He is fast and makes plays, and looks like he could bulk up a bit and stay dynamic.
Evne though I would rather NE go after an OLB, I wouldn't feel bad about using one of our high selections on a kid like Spikes.
posted at 1/10/2009 6:08 AM ESTYes, he is. But he is a gargantuan 4-3 LBer who is used a lot like a 3-4 OLB. They blitz him, they drop him back.
He averages about 100 tackels, 5 sacks, 5Pdef and 2 INTs a season. He is 6'4" 250 (most 4-3 backers are shorter and 15-20 pounds lighter).
He could play here in a second.
I expect his contract value to be set by whatever Suggs gets if neither are franchised. Although I have read scouting reports that say he is better, I doubt it.
I don't know if the Cards keep Warner, but if they don't they automatically become suitors for Cassel, IMO.
I would forget about Asomugha. Unless he is willing to take much less than he could get on the open market AND Oak doesn't franchise him again, I don't see him coming here. I love his game, but $10-11 million for any CB is asking a lot. I would rather get a player that had a down season or two, or just draft one than pay that much.
If he were a FA I would imagine NE would offer him something like the $7-ish they were offering Asante as a take it or leave it offer.
posted at 1/10/2009 6:14 AM ESTWhat are your thoughts on Dawan Landry, ZB ? The asking price won't be as much as Suggs, Dansby or Ashmougha ? But, if healthy, he could still make an impact and is very young (eg: not a player that would get the franchise tag as opposed to the other three mentioned). If Landry can stay healthy he would be a great fixture in the Pats secondary IMO.
posted at 1/10/2009 6:17 AM ESTI don't know.
He is also kind of young to have had a spinal cord concussion. If Baltimore doesn't hold on to him, maybe we can try him out.
Playing for Rex Ryan means he has experience as SS in 3-4, 4-3 and 42 defensive fronts, which means he has been all over the field.
I would also worry because both of his replacements (Zbikowski and Leanhard) looked as good or better than he had for a year and a half.
And the last thing I read he was still having lingering effects from that hit.
If Sanders gets a better offer somewhere else -- which I wager he will-- a player like Landry could be a name in the hat.
There are some really good safeties in the draft this season, like the obivous Mays. Personally, I really hope NE takes a crack at Patrick Chung. He is a better football player than most in the top two rounds and I think he would be a monster here at SS/FS hybrid alongside Merriweather.
Personally, I love drafting safeties because they are the absolute highest percentage selections a team can make. This kid Chung is better than William Moore, and every bit as good as Mays. He just played on a team with half as much talent as Mays.
posted at 1/10/2009 7:50 AM EST
Agreed on Chung. Where do you see him coming off the board? Also who do you like at OLB in this draft?
Do you think a guy like Michael Johnson GT could transition to OLB or maybe a guy like George Selvie from USF. IMO Johnson probally won't be there at #24, but depending on what happens with Cassel and the draft pick(s) the Pats may get, it could be possible for them to trade up and grab a guylike this. THoughts?
posted at 1/10/2009 9:01 AM ESTWouldn't you consider Chung late first early third at worst. I guess that means he is a solid second round prospect. Partially because of his height 5'11" 3/4 215, which is a touch shy for a typical hard hitting safety, and partly because he played for the Ducks.
But I can't think of another safety with his nose for the ball or his pound for pound hitting power, and that includes Mays.
Johnson has that long Jason Taylor-esque frame that Pioli and BB drafted for last season with Crable and Redd. But he looks like a clone of them. There is really nothing eye-popping about his abilities, so I would think they would just continue to develop Crable if that was the kind of player they wanted. I think he will be there if they want him, but I certainly don't think he is the kind of kid you move up to get if he isn't.
Other names are Greg Hardy and Orakpo. I don't see a ton of talent in there this season. None ofthem had those crazy dominant careers in college or have those rare physical attributes that say sure thing.
George Selvie is going to back to school to work on getting heavier and stronger, because he is a little too light to be a 3-4 OLD even at 240. He would have had an automatic workout with NE jsut because he goes to SFU where BB tends to visit.
How about Jerry Hughes. He went to TCU and led the nation in sacks.
Frankly I see the talent in this draft and while there are a few DE/OLB prospects peolpe talk about, none of them look really special to me. It is just like last season that way.
Other people might argue otherwise, but that is how I see it. There really are no Merriman or Ware type players in there, IMO. And that is the only kind of player that would warrant moving Vrabel or Thomas inside or splitting reps.
posted at 1/10/2009 12:52 PM EST
These are my picks for the Pats and just a guess at who the Pats may draft. Alot can happen from now till the Combine and also what players declare themselves for the draft, but this is my Guess Mock Draft!
#24- Brandon Spikes ILB UF or Duke Robinson OG Oklahoma
#47- Victor"Macho"Harris CB VT or Patrick Chung Safety Oreagon or Phil Loadholt OT Oklahoma
(I could also see Victor Harris going at #24)
#59- Javon Ringer RB MSU or Shonn Greene RB Iowa( maybe WR that fell or TE)
#90- Kyle Moore DE USC or Roy Miller DT Texas
Thoughts likes/dislikes?
posted at 1/10/2009 4:24 PM ESTWhat are ur thoughts on Aaron Maybin, DE from Penn State. Kiper has him rated as a 97 but I think that's way too high considering he's just a speed rusher. I could see him slipping because he's soooo lean (only 2% body fat, JoePa keeps complaining he won't put on wait), and can only play DE in a 4-3. Would you see BB converting him to an OLB? Because he is a TREMENDOUS sack artist. Just wanted to throw out an unconventional pick.
posted at 1/10/2009 4:25 PM ESTAlso, he's only a redshirt sophomore, so he might stay in school.
posted at 1/10/2009 6:30 PM ESTspeaking about maybin reminds me of another big 10 lb/de from last year
Lamarr Woodley -- i wanted this guy on the pats
he would look good alongside Jerod Mayo
posted at 1/11/2009 2:48 AM ESTIf we get the right interest and make the right trade with Cassel, this draft can set us up for the next 5+ years
posted at 1/11/2009 4:56 AM EST1: Clint Sintim/Brandon Spikes LB: BB continues to overhaul the LB corps.
2: Patrick Chung/Nic Harris SS: A big hitter for the secondary. Mays and Moore will be gone by pick #22 in the 1st.
2 B: Kraig Urbik OG: Has played both OT and OG and BB likes a little versatility. is 6'5 325.
thoughts ?
posted at 1/11/2009 6:19 AM ESTno no no we dont need spikes are lbs are fine now we have all the youth we need mayb take a sleeper if hes there but we need cbs and ss i like chung and harris.
posted at 1/11/2009 6:34 AM ESTRandy,
I would argue that NE needs back seven players in general.
That includes ILB, CB, and S . . .and OLB to offset Vrabel's age and bring in pure rushing ability.
So from where I sit if Spikes is a better prospect than any of the remaining CBs then you take him.
Maybin won't come out. I would be shocked. Biut if he were available when they were called he would have to be in the mix.
TO JDC and Hannah,
Great stuff. I like em both.
posted at 1/11/2009 6:36 AM ESTI wonder what the possibilities that Everett Brown will be available. He is ranked so high on so many lists.
The kid is a natural athlete who could make the transition to OLB here. I think he would flourish beside Seymour or Warren, and would add all kinds of speed outside that we don't currently have.
posted at 1/11/2009 7:04 AM ESTGuys, One CB that has fallen under the radar is Dominique Johnson.
He is 6-2, 190lbs, and runs a 4.32. Fell under the radar since he transferred from Missouri to Jackson State
Had 5 picks before transferring
posted at 1/11/2009 7:22 AM ESTTitletown,
I was just reading about him and I agree he could be on the Pats radar. I wonder if they'd move him to FS or Safety.
Hannah I like your picks and think it would be a successful draft if the Pats could draft these players.
ZB I watched a few FSU games this year and Brown and I came away very impressed. This draft looks like it's going to be loaded and deep, so if Brown doesn't fall it means some other great players will.
What are your thoughts on Maualuga? Would he be one of those players you trade up for?
One guy I did like from USC was Clay Matthews DE/OLB. My guess is that he'll probally go somewhere between round 2 or 3. If we don't go LB in round 1, would you have intrest in a guy like him?

Game development cost, technology and the future's trend
By Meteora 9 Comments
Gaming as a technical whole has been progressively getting better and better each year; the technological aspect is being pushed to new benchmarks on both PC and consoles. The leap from last generation to this generation has been as visually significant as the jump from 2D to 3D (granted most of the stuff looked like shit in the early days of 3D, but I regress). We've been treated to some gorgeous looking games that hopefully shouldn't be nearly as much of an eyesore to look back at some 10-15 years later on. I think we're living in one of the best gaming generations depending on how you view things, with how games has stepped up so much with production value.
However... The price has to be paid for this.Development costs has soared since last generation. Typical game development cost from the 6th generation was around the $6-10 million mark (can't find a source, I remember reading it from a gaming magazine). That has been doubled to around $18-28 million. The most expensive game ever to make is Grand Theft Auto IV, costing some $100 million. Super blockbusters such as Modern Warfare 2 about $40-50 million for development costs alone (MW2 cost $200 million if you include marketing, producing and distribution of discs, a little behind the cost of making Avatar at $237 million). Hell, even Shenmue cost $70 million to make and that was on the Dreamcast (refer to the Grand Theft Auto IV source) and that was the second most expensive game ever to make! There's several of other biggest title's cost that you can see in this list here.
As games become more complex, the development costs tend to rise a lot. Developing original and new IPs are a risky venture, as a game is expected to only start making a profit when at least 500,000 units are sold. Promotional costs will rise the number of units needed to be sold to compensate for additional cost, but publishers know its worthwhile to spread the word about the game at least a bit.
Because of this, IPs tend not to be explored nearly as much as churning out more sequels after sequels than last generation. Why? Because the risks are less and the name is known, its guaranteed to sell copies as long as they don't turn it into a truly terrible sequel and developers can reuse most or some old assets, a good example such as that of Call of Duty. Production costs are still higher in sequels, but it is somewhat negligible in the grand scheme of things (Assassin's Creed cost $20 million and its sequel cost $24 million). The sad truth is that at least some sequels is a necessity for publishers to make a profit and not crash and burn when things go wrong.
The pacing of technology nowAs of yet, the current trend of gaming seems to be "optimize the shit out of games on the console ports" for the most part (and leaving a mess of a PC port) to work with hardware limitations. While the jump from 6th generation to 7th generation was remarkable, the progress has slowed down a fair bit in recent years, as developers concentrate developing on consoles rather than pushing new technologies on the PCs.
Yeah sure, there's Crysis, Metro 2033 with their graphical prowess, L.A. Noire for its amazing facial animation, Bad Company and Red Faction for its destructible environment, but that hasn't quite applied to every game out there just yet. For enthusiasts, this is a bummer. However, I suspect that the rising cost of development will be lowered as new software/firmware and technology become more affordable and when developers find new tricks to reduce production cost. The motion that Microsoft and Sony are going for a 10 year lifespan for their console is great for developers, publishers and gamers alike, as they are familiar with the console and whatever assets they have can be reused in some form of shape.
As a consequence, new technological advancements has been hindered, most notably features from DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 (such as Tessellation). I have a prime suspect that because of consoles do not support the newer versions of DirectX along with a overwhelming number of OS running XP, they have yet to see widespread use. Whatever new burst of features come out right from gaming will surely be determined by the specs of next-gen console and become a standard norm. PCs are this point of time have become more of pioneers of moving right along forward, while consoles and stubborn XP users are the massed market that is a lagging a little behind (and consequently again, lagging overall progress for everyone else). This can be hinted as a good or bad thing, as I said before, production costs are soaring high.
The future - what this could meanPublishers are interested in reducing costs while maintaining or increasing profits and they are aware of rising costs. As such, publishers will either be investing in technology or picking up some fancy middlewear gear that some other company is working on. Some dreaded game engines will finally cease to exist and become obsolete once people figure out they can't go on using the Unreal Engine 3 forever and expect to stay afloat having to do many things manually for art assets and programming. As such, I foresee a future where there will be more procedurally generated content to reduce cost, whether it is done to create levels on the fly or pick a random level generated while in development. There are already some impressive demos, such as one that demonstrates the construction of a city by using algorithms. Even if it isn't used religiously, it may see some use to create a basic template for level designers to work with.
User generated content is on the rise and it is undeniable, with games that are basically entirely reliant on the users to generate content, such as Spore and LittleBigPlanet. Developers give the necessary tools for the mass to use and you will keep seeing new content created by users, free of charge from the developers (aside from developing the tools, anyways). They will be giving more tools that is accessible and easy to use, with content that is arguably always more better than what the developers can put out if the tools are competent enough (see Forza Motorsport 3). And even if that doesn't work out, PCs always have modders who will create content for everyone else.
Distributing discs is a royal pain in the ass and costs a lot of money to mass produce, never mind ship across the entire bloody world to every large retailer. This is where digital distribution may be seen as a rise, as speculated by analysts and gamers. The cost of discs will be entirely eliminated from the factor, especially important for huge games like Call of Duty where several million discs need to be made and shipped to maximize profits. It will come soon surely enough, but I doubt we will see the retailers out of business when it comes to games by the next gen. Still, it appears to be inevitable when almost everything is going digital now. Additionally, we will also see less independent developers who are not owned by a publisher, not until digital distribution is widespread. So yes please to digital distribution.
On less optimistic moods, we may however, see another price increase by some $5-10 dollars if the market demands a game enough to warrant the price hike. This may not apply universally to every game, but it may be a trend for big AAA titles like (once again) Call of Duty. Because you never know, Bobby Kotick is fucking insane.
There's also increase interest in developing more half-baked games for the Wii, PlayStation Move and Kinect. The casual market is a necessity to funnel more money into making some games for us hardcore nerds, or well entirely just ignoring us and our pleas. The money has to come from somewhere, people.
