Commissar Yarrick
The Man, The Myth, The Legend[edit]
Sebastian Yarrick is one of the most badass commissars ever to
threaten inspire the Imperial Guard.
Like most Commissars, he grew up in the Schola Progenium. However, at that time he was on track to become an Imperial Guard Stormtrooper. He served in this role for several years after graduation, but eventually transferred to the Commissariat. He apprenticed under the respectable Lord Commissar Rasp, becoming a full Commissar and having a long and distinguished career before retiring to Armageddon.
He became an Imperium-wide household name there, coming out of retirement to kick the teeth out of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka's WAAAAAGH. Ghazghkull thinks he's the bestest humie evar. He also has a laser eye, ala Superman, and an ECKSBAWKS HUEG power klaw.
Are we gonna talk about how he wields a storm bolter one-handed when the only ones who can do that are superhumans clad in Terminator armor? Hell no. Why? Because EXBOXHUEG Powerklaw, that's why.
He got his fuckhuge powerklaw from an equally fuckhuge Ork who wanted Yarrick to bend over while something horrible was done to said commissar, but Yarrick proceeded to say "FUCK YOU FILTHY XENO SCUM!!!" and kicked the ork in the teeth with his Commissar-legs. He also had his arm chopped off in that fight but no one really cares because he stole the Ork's arm with a free fuckhuge power klaw attached.He then gave himself tha satifaction of passing out LIKE A BOSS!!
The man is not only legend among men, but orks as well; should Yarrick manage to finally kill Ghazgkhull, its only a matter of time before Orks start worshiping him, or at least naming him Gork and Mork's favored, and da baddest Warboss ever. Considering he can actually use his powerklaw and Ork arm functionally means they consider him, at the very least, to be quite downright Orky and all. And as we all know, what Orks believe, becomes true. He also speaks Ork. Yeah. It's not that hard. I mean, it's mostly just angry howls with the odd blow to the head for emphasis.
Yarrick got his laser eye when he heard that the Orks thought he had the gaze of death, and could kill an ork with a look. Yarrick decided that if the orks thought he could kill with a look, then he was damn well going to be able to. Once again, what Orks believe, becomes true.
He also never dies, because
of Iron Will DYING IS FOR PUSSIES AND HERETICS!!! It doesn't hurt that the Orks believe he can't die, so he really can't.
Yarrick is currently chasing after Ghazghkull along with High Marshall Helbrecht at the head of a Black Templar crusade in the most amazing road trip ever.
He also has HIS OWN PERSONAL BANEBLADE called the Fortress of Arrogance, however it can only be taken in apoc.
7th edition made Yarrick.....strange. He lost his fearless, though it got replace by a warlord trait, and he gained summary execution despite the fact that his presence on the battlefield caused no soldier to run away. So yeah, unless Yarrick is in charge, Yarrick would rather run away then lead with example and fight. WTF GW....WTF. Though, given all other HQs, except Lord Comissar have lower Ld than him, he WOULD be your Warlord, unless taken in an allied detachment. Except that Yarrick also suffers from the Chain of Command rule so if there's another Senior Officer he can't be your warlord.

This series covers all areas of research at Perimeter Institute, as well as those outside of PI's scope.
The Laser Astrometric Test of Relativity (LATOR) is a Michelson-Morley-type experiment designed to improve current tests of the Einsteins theory of general relativity by more than four orders of magnitude. The LATOR mission uses laser interferometry between two laser sources placed on separate small spacecraft, whose lines of sight pass close by the Sun, to measure accurately the deflection of light in the solar gravity field.
In this expository talk, I describe how "chaotic behavior" not only was discovered in the study of the Newtonian N-body problem, but also is responsible for several strange appearing motions. Then, a mathematical outline of the general evolution of the universe, under Newton's laws, is provided. No prior background in dynamics or the mathematics of the N-body problem is needed to follow this lecture
Strongly correlated many-body systems are often formulated as gauge theories where gauge field plays a role of Lagrangian multiplier and fundamental matter field represents a fractional degree of freedom which carries only a fractional quantum number of microscopic particle. Although the fractional particles are prone to be confined at high energy owing to an infinite bare gauge coupling, they can emerge as deconfined degrees of freedom at low/intermediate energy scales as the gauge coupling is renormalized to a finite value by fluctuating matter fields.
Kilometer-scale neutrino detectors such as IceCube are discovery instruments covering nuclear and particle physics, cosmology and astronomy. Examples of their multidisciplinary missions include the search for the particle nature of dark matter and for additional small dimensions of space. In the end, their conceptual design is very much anchored to the observational fact that Nature produces protons and photons with energies in excess of 1020 and1013 electronvolts, respectively. The cosmic ray connection sets the scale of cosmic neutrino fluxes.
The TeV energy range is a privileged part of the EM spectrum for astrophysical observations, allowing a view of some of the most energetic processes in the Universe, in objects as diverse as supernova remnants and black-hole driven Active Galactic Nuclei. Driven by new instruments, TeV gamma-rays astrophysics has made enormous strides in recent years with the discovery of many new sources, including new classes of sources such as galactic micro-quasars.
I look at the information-processing involved in a quantum computation, in terms of the difference between the Boolean logic underlying a classical computation and the non-Boolean logic represented by the projective geometry of Hilbert space, in which the subspace structure of Hilbert space replaces the set-theoretic structure of classical logic. I show that the original Deutsch XOR algorithm, Simon's algorithm, and Shor's algorithm all involve a similar geometric formulation.
It is shown that inflationary cosmology may be used to test the statistical predictions of quantum theory at very short distances. Hidden-variables theories, such as the pilot-wave theory of de Broglie and Bohm, allow the existence of vacuum states with non-standard field fluctuations (quantum non-equilibrium). It is shown that such non-equilibrium vacua lead to statistical anomalies, such as a breaking of scale invariance for the primordial power spectrum. The results depend only weakly on the details of the de Broglie-Bohm dynamics.
Up to 90% of matter in the Universe could be composed of heavy particles, which were non-relativistic, or 'cold', when they froze-out from the primordial soup. I will review current searches for these hypothetical particles, both via elastic scattering from nuclei in deep underground detectors, and via the observation of their annihilation products in the Sun, galactic halo and galactic center. The emphasis will be on most recent results, and on comparison with reaches of future particle colliders, such as the LHC and ILC.

Western NC Dual Sport Maps
Just a quick intro here to let everybody know I've put together some Dual Sport maps and roll chart type direction sheets for some great riding areas in western North Carolina. I'm a native to the area and while I by no means know every road around here, I've found and explored quite a good percentage of them. I've got four maps out right now and I'm working on a fifth for a loop in the Hot Springs, NC area. Eventually I hope to have about 12 maps out, hence the map series title "The WNC Dirty Dozen". Anyway, I've got a basic webpage up with options to purchase via Paypal here: www.wncdirtydozen.com
Please check it out and ask any questions and/or give feed back at will.
Thanks, John Thompson
p.s. I also have the maps for sale at my workplace in Asheville, NC at: Black Dome Mtn. Sports 140 Tunnel Rd. Asheville, NC 28805
New map added
Just added a new map to the series. It's a great figure 8 loop centered around Hot Springs, NC. Check it out on the webpage. www.wncdirtydozen.com.
Thanks for that, I've always admired your maps as well, but you guys didn't have anything for us east coasters.:beer
Just added a couple of roll chart holder options to the offerings on the webpage.
bump for the holidays
I see during checking out there's a small charge added for shipping. Are these paper maps/directions or GPS files.
I'm only really interested in GPS files.
They're paper maps but have key GPS waypoints listed for use with a GPS. I wanted to have something that would work for people with or without a GPS. Possibly in the future I'll have another option for GPS files of the rides as well. Thanks.
Cool! We're heading up to the area in a couple of weeks (from FL) and have been looking for a little dual sporting. Riding pigs, so appreciate commentary on maps. May place order for a couple of maps in a few days. What is turnaround time for orders?
Also, it would be handy to see 1 larger map that shows general location for these routes? Thanks for the effort!
Dupont map added
Just FYI, I just finished my latest map in the series, so I'm now 1/2 way to the dozen goal! Put together a great loop 1/2 hour south of Asheville in the Dupont Forest area. Check it out at www.wncdirtydozen.com Preview of title page here:
mid-summer bump......lotsa good dual-sporting here in western NC!
Bump for beautiful fall riding season!

The Best Conceptual Framework for Improving...
Microfluidics Is On a Roll and...
Moving Toward True Portability?
The New Frontline of Infectious Disease...
Boehringer Ingelheim said today its once-daily asthma drug tiotropium, delivered via Respimat® Soft Mist™ Inhaler, produced favorable Phase III results by increasing the time to first severe exacerbation, and time to first episode of asthma worsening across a broad spectrum of symptomatic patients receiving standard care treatments.
Those increases were in comparison to placebo in asthma patients receiving standard care of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting β2-agonists (LABA) therapy, and were independent of age, allergic status, smoking status, and bronchodilator response, BI said.
BI presented preliminary results based on preplanned subgroup analyses of data from the PrimoTinA-asthma™ Phase III studies at the American Thoracic Society Congress in Philadelphia.
"These results are extremely encouraging as we continue to investigate tiotropium as a potential treatment for asthma," Richard Russell, Ph.D., FRCP, consultant chest physician at the U.K.'s Wexham Park Hospital, and a U.K.-based investigator in PrimoTinA-asthma. "There remains a significant number of asthma patients who continue to be symptomatic despite available therapeutic options. The results suggest tiotropium may be an efficacious treatment option for patients."
During BI's presentation, Professor David Halpin, D.Phil., consultant in respiratory medicine at the U.K.'s Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, said patients enrolled in PrimoTinA-asthma were reasonably certain to have had asthma and not COPD, based on age of onset, duration of symptoms, smoking status, allergic status, and bronchodilator response. Tiotropium has been shown effective in COPD patients with concomitant features of asthma.
PrimoTinA-asthma consisted of two parallel-group trials including asthma patients ages 18 to 75, with a five-plus-year history of asthma diagnosed before age 40; and life-long nonsmokers or ex-smokers who consumed less than one pack of cigarettes daily for 10 years, then quit smoking one or more years before study enrollment.
Over 48 weeks, 456 patients were randomized to tiotropium Respimat, while an equal number received placebo. Patients were allowed additional background therapy including theophylline, anti-allergic agents, stable systemic steroids, and omalizumab.

News from Upstate
Doretta Royer 315 464-4833
Upstate Gala, to benefit cancer care, research, is Dec. 11
SYRACUSE, N.Y. —The Upstate Gala, Upstate Medical University's chief fundraising event, will be held Dec. 11 and benefit the Upstate Cancer Center and the Upstate Cancer Research Institute.
The Upstate Gala 2010 will be held from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. at the Hotel Syracuse, 500 S. Warren St., Syracuse. A prelude party at the hotel will precede the Gala at 6:30 p.m.
Co-chairs of the Gala are Leslie Kohman, M.D., and Jeff Smith, of Syracuse, and Theresa and Brian Underwood of Manlius.
The Gala also will feature food; live music in four areas of the hotel by Entourage, The DeSantis Band, DeSantis Jazz, and the Piano Lounge; casino games; and entertainment provided by an illusionist and a tarot card reader.
Proceeds from the gala will go to benefit the Upstate Cancer and the Cancer Research Institute. Expected to open in September 2013, the Upstate Cancer Center will be a five-story $74-million facility that will bring all of the university's outpatient pediatric and adult cancer services under one roof. The Upstate Cancer Research Institute serves as the hub of tens of millions of dollars of research activity, most of it aimed at finding new cancer treatments. The CRI will collaborate closely with Upstate's planned Cancer Center.
For more information on the gala, call 315-464-4416 or visit www.foundationforupstate.org.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Invoked both in storyline and in gameplay. [[spoiler:Just ask yourself, why did you shoot Pixy down?]]
* DemonicSpiders: Some of the 'mooks' have a habit of flying just so close to your plane that you'll have to drastically slow down just to avoid overshooting (flying past), or will fly a tight loop to keep throwing off your own attempts to generate angles for missile shots or gunfire. Particularly annoying when it's in a skirmish, as decelerating to keep them in your line of fire will leave you vulnerable to other enemies' attacks, and deadly when (not if) the enemy aces do it to you.
** The enemy aces in general. They always show up at the end of a mission, which if you have been spending it shooting down enemy planes may mean you are running low on ammunition. They will almost always outnumber you (with the exception of the Gelb Squadron) and are exceptionally coordinated. As mentioned above, they fly in tight loops and while you are chasing them they often have someone ''else'' chasing ''you'' at the same time. At the higher difficulties, staying on top of them requires pinpoint accuracy to avoid blowing all of your ammo on nothing but the sky and co-ordination with your wingman to keep them from getting the jump on you.

CBS Sports draftniks Rob Rang and Dane Brugler both released their latest first round mock drafts following the Senior Bowl and both have the Pittsburgh Steelers drafting a defensive player with the 15th overall selection.
Rang has the Steelers drafting Notre Dame defensive tackle Louis Nix III, while Brugler has Alabama safety Hasean Clinton-Dix being selected by Pittsburgh in that spot.
Nix will have to prove his health before earning a first round selection as he underwent knee surgery in December. When healthy, however, he's proven himself to be one of nation's elite run-stuffers. He'd be an upgrade over incumbent starter Steve McLendon, whose play leveled off in the second half of his first season taking over for long-time standout Casey Hampton.
Playmaking safeties are in high demand in the NFL right now so don't expect Clinton-Dix to last long on draft day. The Steelers need to find the long-term replacement for free agent Ryan Clark at free safety and Clinton-Dix fits the bill.
The Steelers haven't drafted a nose tackle in the first round since 2001 when they traded down in the first round and selected Hampton with the 19th overall selection. As far as safeties go, Troy Polamalu was the last one selected by the Steelers in the first round as they traded up in 2003 to select him.
As we sit here on the last day of January, I would be surprised if either of these two players wound up being the pick. I think the Steelers will address the free safety position at some point during the draft, but just can't see it happening in the first two rounds. As far as nose tackle goes, unlike many of you, I don't see that position as being one of great need and while it is possible that a later round pick could be used on that particular position, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was ignored completely with one or two undrafted free agents being signed instead.
Ok, now it is your turn to chime in on both of these players in the comments below and please keep it civil.
I agree. I don't see either of these as the Steelers selection. I don't feel we need NT atleast not this year and not that early, not when we need so many other positions.. McLendon and Al Woods can fill that role and then maybe rehash that debate next year.
Pure speculation by these folks just to have something to write about when they have no real story to write about. Yawn.
No i do not want Nix in the first round. While i could live with Clinton-Dixon, i think Calvin Pryor is a much better safety
This is brilliant analysis on your part on both of these players.
I hope that Shamarko can be the starter at FS, at least in the long run. So I would not go for a safety in round one. And while i cannot evaluate the play of McLendon myself, I just don't think that the position is that important that it would justify a first round selection (Steelers often in Nickel).
What is your opinion on drafting a Safety in round one/two?
I don't see it happening, maaaybeee Rd2
I don't see us taking a safety in the first. If Pryor somehow makes it to the 2nd then thats a no brainier. I think I'm one of few that would love to get justin gilbert at 1:15
Yes, I just saw that you added a section on why you would not choose Clinton-Dix. I'm in the same boat.
He is an intriguing athlete and he could help bolster two areas of need CB and KR
I think both players have too many question marks to be taken at 15.
Nix more than Dix.
I think they're assumption of Mclendons poor play shows how bad sports reporters are.
Our very own Dave pointed out earlier just how much of an impact Mclendon did have.
I'm only going off bits of film and scouting reports from others but Nix has too much injury history, spotty play to be our 1st rounder.
Dix would make more sense and I think we will see a safety takin before round 5.
Only reason for not picking Dix in round one is if the FO has their eyes set on someone else. If our 2 targets are gone at 15, they'll take Dix.
i saw that charlie batch said he expects markus wheaton to start and have a mike walalce like impact next season
Are they playmakers? If yes then I would welcome either
I wont come out and say he'll have a Wallace-esk year two, but I truly believe he'll be a difference maker before its all said and done
There is no way I take a 2 down NT that high with the way the game is set up right now (it's not 2001 anymore), I've heard some people make a good argument for Ha Ha, and they think his stock is going to go up as the draft process rolls on, but I'm leery of taking any defensive player at 15. It's rare that any rookie makes an early impact in this defense, and this year an immediate impact player is what I want with a high first round pick.
One of the top offensive play-makers in this draft will be there at 15, and in my opinion your best move is to give Ben one more big time weapon to go with Bell and Brown. You can use the rest of your early picks to continue the transition that started this year on defense.
Im with you on that. I believe he is the reason why the steelers wont draft a receiver in the 1st 2 rounds. if they did then that would keep wheaton as a number 3 at best. batch seems to have faith in the kid. he also said sanders is gone
I don't see these as likely first rounders for the Steelers. I understand that the Steelers comprise a list of "special athletes" and prioritize that list, especially in the first round when those players would still be there, above any need. From year to year I think that the length of that list can change based upon the draft class, but while admittedly seeing only a small sample of Clinton-Dix I don't see either of these players on a list that one could consider "special." This is why, I believe, that almost every year the Steelers' first round pick is usually completely different than what the mocks say based upon need. My gut says linebacker or corner, but I would love to see them take Ebron.
I keep hearing that Shark is meant to be our SS, not FS. But that's just what I hear.
Was not aware of that, thanks. Considering his playing-style, it makes sense. We shall see.
If we take Nix with the first pick, I will be pissed. There I said it. He is a 2 down player. Our run defense issues this year weren't caused by the lack of a NT, they were caused by bad plays and 2 LBs starting that were rookies. If I remember right, if you take away the 5 mistake plays which were long runs….this team was basically top 3 against the run this year. Of course some of that was that our secondary was SOOOO bad that no one wanted to try to run against us cause we couldn't stop the pass.
I saw a mock today that had Gilbert, Evans, and Lee all still on the board and us selecting Nix. To me…that makes no sense.
Clinton-Dix, I don't know about. I haven't see a ton of tape on him, but I still think we will look at some of the later rounds for S and CB help. I could see us bringing in a FS, someone like Clark, who is under the radar in the free agent pool, and putting him as the starter for 2 years. Shamarko would then start in year 3 replacing Troy with this year's draft pick starting also in year 3. It is less transition and honestly makes sense.
I'm really starting to lean that way myself, you could plug him in right away on passing downs and in the red-zone. I love the options it would give Ben, and the mismatches it could create by putting him in there with AB, Bell, Wheaton, and Miller, I believe our red-zone and third down efficiency would take an immediate step up. On top of that you would now have your long term replacement for Heath on the roster
I will not rule out a early round NT but I just do not see a decent one to pick as this year is very thin for NT's. My second thought on this is that Nix isnt a first round talent. I do not mind the Dix pick but still need to look into him more.
I think their secondary has to be the main priority, especially at cornerback. They have no depth there at all. I don't think Clinton Dix is worthy of the 15th pick in the draft, only if they traded down would I consider him. We can live with the nose tackle(s) we have on the roster now.
I don't rule out anything because I don't know enough. That said…the Steelers usually try to get an elite athlete…are either of these elite? If not an elite athlete…then they try to get one that is special…but we do not know what they mean by special. I question how special either of these two are…although both have their fans. Lastly, until the Steelers deal with their UFA's…mocking anyone to the Steelers in any round is gross speculation, IMHO. And that's no disrespect to Dave's recent mock which I consider entertainment.
Don't like either of these choices for Steelers in first round. Not impressed with either, especially Nix and don't even think they are 1st rnd talent. Draftnix are wrong 90%+ of the time on Steeler picks. Expect a QB frenzy at the top and a couple of reaches by perennial top 10 pickers. Should allow several elite players as options at 1.15, so wouldn't trade down. My gut says it will be LB, CB, TE or WR available as immediate impact player. Steelers picked Ben at 1.14. Believe he was also a Heisman finalist. I compare Ben's pick with Russell Wilson. Under the radar top 10 talent that were passed on because of the college teams they played for. I do expect 2 or even 3 potential top 5 overall rated picks to be available at 1.15. The most difficult choice for the Steelers may be which one to pick.
I don't mind Clinton-Dix in the 1st, and I wouldn't be surprised. I would be amazed if they pick Nix. I also agree with RM Steeler. We are at a nice spot in this draft. There should be at least one top flight talent at CB, WR, safety, or LB when we come around. Although McClendon may never be big snack, he does bring a unique skill set. I think Steelers fans that want Nix may not realized that the NFL has changed a bit and that the team is allowed to adapt our defense somewhat to personnel rather than striving to recreate the 2003 defense at all costs.
Here's a fun exercise. Project which unexpected talent falls to the Steelers at 15. Even when we're lower in the order, someone falls to us that really shouldn't (DeCastro, Jones). So who do you all think it will be this year? Jake Matthews, Greg Robinson, Anthony Barr, Khalil Mack, Sammy Watkins?
Calvin PRyor
Round 1?
I would love to see Troy and Shark on the field at the same time!
I'm not focused on position in the first round. The most important thing is drafting someone who best projects to become an elite talent. Drafting for need might make the team better this year. Drafting an elite talent can make the team better over the next 5 years.
By now we should all know how Kevin Colbert operates. He identifies his list of special players. If he has the opportunity to draft one of those players, that will be the pick, regardless of whether the pick fulfills a need or not.
I 100% agree with you about Colbert, and his list of special players. The team needs to add an elite level talent, regardless of whether it fills a need or not. If that player just happens to play a position where the Steelers have a lot of depth, the team still benefits, because it allows them to release a higher salary player and free up room under the salary cap. Those savings can be used to bring in a FA who does fill a need. For example, I don't think the Steelers need an OT, but if they draft an OT who they feel will be an elite talent, they don't have to resign Gilbert when his rookie contract is up. The money not spent to retain Gilbert can be used to bring in a FA Safety or ILB.
none of those will fall to us. Decastro fell because he is a guard not an elite tackle. Jones went right where he was projected to go. There is no chance that any of those names that you listed fall to 15.
I got no problem with Nix in the 1st as I think it will move McLendon to the DE position and then they can have Nix and Wood man the NT spot…
Dix could be the pick also and I have no problem with that pick also….the middle of our D needs to be replenished with quality players NOW. Hampton, Farrior and Polamalu when going to SBs, now we have McLendon, Timmons and Polamalu and Clark who have both had better days and are on the downslope.
I would love to see us grab Deone Bucannon from Wash. St. Imagine having two hard hitting safeties with him and shamarko in the furture
We need an NT badly; our run defense and our pass rush will suffer as long as we don't have a stable NT. Most overall important position in a 3-4 defense with possible exception to CBs.
As I said before, Nix has many problems associated with him but there is no better NT prospect than him this year. People ask about Hageman but he will be raw as a 3-4 prospect; he has the size and just needs to add a tad bit of weight but schemewise he has not experienced it. That being said he could feasibly be coached up for the 3-4 NT or even the 3-4 DE in addition to being a normal 4-3 DT. His consistency (possibly motor although my tape study on him has been less than adequate) is an issue. McCullers has amazing size but is the most raw of all; judging by MT's latest questionable decision to can him prematurely, not sure if he will be given the patience if he has a minor run-in with the law.
I am not sure what position we will draft in the 1st round, but I can rule out a few positions and make it easier…no way we draft a QB, RB, TE, O-lineman and S in the 1st round with the exception of maybe Pryor from Louisville since I think he is a better prospect and my #1. I also think Alabama players are overrated many times, and wasn't really impressed with Clinton-Dix this year, and feel like Nix could be had in round 2. I also agree that it is a foregone conclusion that Sanders is gone this year, so I really hope that if Watkins, Evans and/or Lee we grab one of them. I don't care if we already took Wheaton last year, we still need to reload on WR's since we won't have Cotchery around forever.
I think Nixs would be the right pick. 3-4 defenses need to stop the run first. McLendon did a nice job in 2013 but is to small. He does not occupy the multiple blockers we need out of our NT. Move him to DE. We need our next Casey Hampton and I believe Nixs is that guy 335 with quick feet. We gave up 4.3 ypc and 116 a game, these are not championship #7 numbers. This guy was projected top 5 last year before his injury and he can push the pocket not just stop the run. Don't forget about Saragusa and how good Ray Lewis played behind him. When Saragusa retired Lewis went into some down years until he bitched and they drafted Halodi Ngata. Everything changed for the ravens D after they drafted Ngata Not saying Nixs can be as good as Ngata but I would be willing to take the 1st round risk to see. NT in a 3-4 is a very important position.
I thought he looked great in the blow out win by Alabama against 3 future first round offensive lineman. It was the other 10 irish defenders that didn't show up.
USC's Marquise Lee would be a Great pickup at WR for another Weapon or Kevin Benjamin from Florida St.
Especially given the fact that Nix is not exactly a sure thing. He has had huge weight fluctuations and injuries that make me question longevity. I wonder despite what the front office and coaches might say about the importance of the nose, given the nature of the position against pass effective offenses if they would still rate Big Snack as a first round worthy pick. This kid ain't Big Snack
Ebron. Ebron. Ebron.
Of course, only if Mosley is not available……………
Nix is totally overrated. If everyone here wants a Terrence Cody then hop on the Nix bandwagon. Those thinking we would be getting a Raji, Poe or Lotulelei you are sadly mistaken. Nix is just a big body that's hard to move. That's all. Zero explosion. His only production was against weak opponents. Good linemen kept Jim in check one on one. Watch the tape people.
Terrible Picks
No way we should take either player, with same or similiar talent available rounds later,or later in the first. Nix is a no-no period to me.Too many injury concerns for a two – down player. And I think Hageman is better. I'd rather groom Carrethers,Ellis, or the DT from Penn State.More upside and raw talent.
As far as Dix is concerned, I like Pryor better,Jean- Baptiste is a hybrid who is intriguing and higher ceiling,and Boston from UNC is a ball hawk who is only going to get better.Plus Hadler from Vandy and Buchannon from Washington St. fill our needs just as well. I just see Dix as overrated.
It wouldn't surprise me if despite his talent, Nix slips…and I mean REALLY slips down into the 4th or 5th round.
It's the offseason before we've even had the combine. Of course it's pure speculation. Some people just have to have something to complain about.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I don't want Nix at all. I think Ha Ha could be very good but I tend to agree with you that he's not a Troy or even Eric Berry instant starter so don't spend the 15th pick overall on him. As much as I love Dick LeBeau I still do lament the fact that it takes us so long to bring rookies along when so many seem to have an instant impact on other teams. Just my thoughts though. Would Eric Reid have made a bigger impact than Jarvis Jones last year?
LOL at people on this site thinking McClendon is the future at nose tackle because they read one article with stats that said he's good. Stats, numbers, data, etc. can always be twister to fit an agenda. What does the eye test tell you?
Nix or Clinton Dix would definitely immediately improve the defense. Shamarko Thomas looked decent at best in coverage last year and McClendon is McClendon.
Watched every game at least 10 times this year from the all-22 view. How about you? Also, it's McLendon, not McClendon.
I'm not high on either one of those picks. At this point I think it will be a surprise pick unless someone falls like DeCastro did. I'm not high on any DB in the 1st rd only because none of them seem like a can't miss pick.
That's why it's called a mock draft. Heck I could say we will take Manziel in the 1st!
If any fall I think it would be Barr.
Pretty good job correcting my typo considering you blocked me on twitter for correcting one of yours LOL. And okay, he's really good, let's see how the run defense performs next year if we don't upgrade. He simply does not take up as much space or as many blockers as a bigger guy which is the key to the 3-4 defense.
Neither of them would start year one. Ha Ha could eventually start. Nix is destined the Ta'amu route. Not any better than a later rd pick. Wasting our 15th overall pick on the so-called best NT in the draft is totally against the Steelers model. DO NOT REACH FOR NEED!
McLendon >>>>>Nix. Except when it comes down to fat. Then Nix>>>>>>>>>McLendon
Do we need a NT? Yes. Wasting our #1 pick on a NT who not worthy a 1st let alone a 2nd rd pick is erroneous. Just like Ta'amu, many called for us to take him in rd2. I LMAO. I even received flack when I questioned taking him rd4. Sure enough even aside from his off field issues, he still sucks. Nix is destined the same.
Did you see him against Alabama? He was the only ND player that not only belonged on the field but played very well. That was against a great line. Very good athlete/feet. Not saying he will be our pick but he will be a really good pro. If he stays healthy (like everyone else) he will go to multiple pro bowls.
Terrence Cody was a big guy with quick feet too. How did he turn out ? Zero explosion. Enough said.
I think people over look that we were in nickel so much last year that Troy played LB alot of time and though Troy is an animal you need a true LB to take on linemen and stop the run. Also we had two rookie LBs playing which didn't help matters. A NT would be a wasted pick unless they think McClendon can be a force at DE and we can't resign our other free agents along the d-line
I've watched the Alabama game numerous times, and the one thing that stood how was that Nix didn't face many double teams, and Barrett Jones doing a very good job handling Nix one-on-one. Tuitt received most of the double teams.
Having a NT who takes up space, or multiple blockers is not the key to a 3-4 defense. It can be, if the D-line has 2-gap responsibility, which isn't done a lot anymore. Playing 2-gaps doesn't work with the zone blitz, and it doesn't work against a spread based offense.
Why not draft a TE in RD1?
Reading articles and comments I see a lot of "3-4 NT are rare and the Steelers need one" – but considering how rare they are why take a chance in Rd 1 on a player that may or may not turn out to be a good NT. Lots of questions about Nix, why not go with more of a sure thing wiith the 15th pick? If the Steelers are in love with Nix (not saying they are), they should just trade down (ala Hampton draft) and get him then. Sounds like this is a deep draft and the Steelers might want to have a few more picks…
I believe the steelers are going cb in 1st because like three teams at least in top ten needs a qb and either gilbert or dennard will fall in our laps unless they are off the board then they will look at other positions of need via b.p.a
Deone Bucannon would be a good choice in the second
1.11 for Ben.
Agreed. They will truly pick the best player on the board (or whomever they feel is the best player)
Since Miller is still around and should have a couple of years left in him (even if he has lost a step) and with Spaeth playing well in his return from injury this year, and with the multitude of other needs, I just don't think that Pittsburgh values TEs as much as other teams to draft one in the 1st. I can see them taking one later in the draft…I have big questions/concerns about Ebron so they may not be sold that there is a 1st round TE out there either. Just my opinion.
I can agree at this time that we don't need a S in the first round. But we sure do need a NT no matter what. If you watched the games this year and last year.
Last year Larry foote was a great run stopper. Why? because a big NT like hampton can handle 2 O-line men at same time and make way for the MLBs to come in and stop them.
This year: Vince williams and Timmons were good run stoppers but this is also of the reasons why our run sucked and we gave up such big plays in the running games because a NT like Mclendon who is not big cannot take 2 O-line on his own. Nix at this time will be a good addition but just not in the first round because of his injury he might not do good in Pro-day/combine and his stock might fall to second round.
Markus wheaton is a good WR but we still need to see more from him instead of expecting from him based on his college work.
I agree we need a CB like Gilbert he is a really good CB.
Im not a professional but if I had to choose it would be Sammy Watkins, Gilbert or Dennard in the first.
People might think im crazy because of watkins falling to second. Remember 2012? Decastro was a top 10 pick during combine he fell to 24th pick. remember 2013? jarvis Jones was a top 5 pick. he fell to 17th because of his combine.
If we want watkins at 15 we just have to hope he has a terrible combine 😉 and he falls to 15th. if he doesn't fall I think we should go with gilbert or Dennard.
Don't forget Mendenhall! He also "fell".
I just don't see Nix warranting mid first round pick. Elevating a guy out of need is usually a bad idea. I just don't see him as a rare talent, just the best of a weak class.
Spot on. Trading down is another issue.
Dennard's cover skills are miles ahead of Gilbert's. By the tape I am not impressed with Gilbert at all. He is just big and fast and a good ST guy which is why his technique and form are overlooked. I have Verrett ahead of Gilbert in my CB list; the former gets overlooked because he is 5'10 but is better in coverage. That's the problem with draftniks grading CBs. They only look at the height and 40 time and project that onto their cover skills. Just wait until the Combine (AKA the Hype Train) when the 6′ CBs will shoot up the draft boards. Not saying they can't be good, but for every good CB that's turned out, another busts out. Depends on their work ethic and team scheme/system in the end.
I'm not sure what game you were watching. I just rewatched the game and Nix had 2 tackles for a loss (1 was when the RB slipped) and was kept in check on mostly single coverage. He does not offer anything more to the NT position than a mid-late rd pick would. Again, many wanted us to take Terrence Cody, aren't you glad we didn't? Nix = Cody IMO.
Then trade roethlisberger to the browns for joe haden
Ebron would be huge for the offense, because of everything you stated, plus he opens up the ability of the offense to run no huddle.
The no huddle is the most effective when the offense can put a personnel group on the field that is just as dangerous in the passing attack, as they are in the run. With 2 TE's and 1 RB on the field, the offense has the personnel on the field to run the ball with 7 blockers. If also gives the offense the ability to spread the WR's and TE's, move the RB to the slot, and force the defense to cover 5 WR's. Unless guys are getting gassed, there's no need to make substitutions, which means that the defense is stuck with what ever personnel they put on the field at the beginning of the drive. If the defense on the field is best suited to stop the run, then spread out the formation, and force them to match up with 5 receiving options. If they are set up to defend the pass, then condense the formation, and force the defense to stop the run with 5 or 6 DB's on the field.
He has no coverage ability whatsoever.
1a) Mike Evans
1b) Justin Gilbert
1c) Eric Ebron
1d) C.J. Mosley
1e) Louis Nix III Top 5 options
there is no chance of watkins falling to 15. Decastro fell because he is a guard and guards are not one of those flashy positions. Jarvis Jones went right where he was projected to go because of medical concerns. Sammy Watkins is the most talented reveiver in the draft and will not make it out of the top 10. Dennard would be a reach at 15, he only plays press man coverage, and we play a lot of zone. He didnt go to the senior bowl because he did not want to look bad in a zone defense.

Bill Belichick has seen a quite a few winners, so when he calls Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson a "winner," he means it. The Patriots play the Seahawks on Sunday and Wilson is the Patriots newest concern. Belichick spoke to WEEI in Boston with the Big Show about the rookie quarterback. Belichick has a history of getting the best of young quarterbacks with confusing game plans, and will try to add Wilson on his resume. "A winner (Russell Wilson). He makes good decisions, he's very athletic, they do a great job running the ball and they have a play action game that goes with it, play action bootlegs, moving pocket plays and things like that. He can hurt you with his arms and his legs." "I think there are a lot of differences in the college game and the pro game. I think what players see at this level and see at the college level are quite a bit different. (Host: Is this just a good lot of players?) I don't know, maybe it is but I don't think it's because they see the same thing at the college level and then they step to the pro level and there's not a big learning curve. I think there is a big learning curve. But those guys who have been successful have obviously been able to make that transition so I think you have to give them a lot of credit. I don't see that big of a carry-over from college to the NFL at that position."

As a family we have never been to Africa before and in Tourdust we have found an excellent tour operator whose attention to detail is second to none. The thought, care and attention that went into planning our trip, significantly contributed to the overall success of our time in South Africa.
There is much to mention, but three highlights would include having a personal tour guide in Lionel Davies on Robben Island. Lionel was a political prisoner and happened to serve his sentence at the same time Nelson Mandela was serving part of his. Tourdust connections with Cape Town local tour operators meant that we had access to this.
Secondly my husband and I were keen to do a wine tour; however I had some doubts as to how this would go down with the children - I needn't have worried. The local tour guide provided a completely appropriate day, which included chocolate tasting, wine tasting and visiting a cheetah sanctuary.
Thirdly our daughter turned 14 whilst on Safari; the camp we were staying at had access to two private game reserves and made sure we all had a variety of sightings and experiences and our daughter's birthday was acknowledged with a gorgeous chocolate cake - again in the background Tourdust had made sure this happened.
Choosing just three highlights has been difficult, but I just want to thank Ben and his team wholeheartedly for making our first experience of the African continent such a positive one. I can't recommend this company more highly.

We're now back at home and I'm looking out at a rather wet Liverpool day, a great contrast from our marvellous few days in Cape Town. This is to thank you for being a wonderful guide for our trip to Stellenbosch and for enabling us to learn so much about South African wines in a short time - you've started us on a long journey, I think, and I've already got sawinesonline.co.uk saved in my favourites! I think you'll understand that Albie Koch was the stand out, although being able to tell the very good sommelier at the 12 Apostles that we'd met Jose Conde gave us more than a few brownie points! Can I also congratulate you on choosing Overture for our lunch? You'd obviously read us right from our e-mail correspondence, but how you managed to fix the weather is beyond us! This goes into our very best meals anywhere category, along with the breakfast on the shoreline of Lake Annecy and the dinner overlooking the Mediterranean at Eze, close to Monte Carlo. Exquisite combinations of setting, food and, of course, occasion.
You helped give Jill an introduction to South Africa that make us determined to return and see and learn more - thank you for this. We'll certainly recommend you to friends and would hope to make use of your services on another visit.
john reviewing Classic Cape Town wine tour
I have one word to describe my Cooking experience: AMAZING! What a fantastic experience! I must say that Pamela went above and beyond what she was required to do as a tour guide. She allowed me to pay once I arrived into Cape Town, met my husband and I at our convenience and gave us a ride back to our hotel from the Pic-n-Pay at the waterfront so we wouldn't have to walk with our groceries! She is not only friendly, but extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what is going on with the black community in Cape Town/Langa. I did two cooking classes and wished that I did all our tours through them, as they are so personal. I cooked with Gamidah in her home in Bo-Kapp for a Cape Malay cooking experience, then two days later I accompanied Pamela to the District 6 Museum where she recounted the history of Apartheid, then drove out to Langa where I was warmly greeted by Eugene, the instructor! What passion he has as well and what an amazing grassroots movement Eziko Restaurant/School is doing. I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of helping this movement succeed and will therefore be writing letters to guide books such as Lonely Planet, Rick Steves and such. I also plan on posting a review on Trip Advisor so the word can get out as to the amazing service and experience Cape Fusion provides at such a reasonable cost! I am recommending it to all my friends who will be in Cape Town for the World Cup.
EmilyM reviewing African Cooking Class Cape Town
We very much enjoyed the Ben Bikes Township Tour. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and helped us get a glimpse into life in the Masi township. Seeing the township by bike was a unique and intimate experience. We found the township tour to be an important part of our trip to South Africa to gain an understanding and appreciation for how much of the population lives in these communities. The visit to the healer, the local businesswoman, and a local restaurant was a great experience.

He's a good guy and I'd strongly recommend him!Jonni Peace03/25/145 Stars - Christopher is the best! So friendly, & promptly gets back to you if you leave him a message!

Wandering in Indiana

Last easy day to wander for a while...
The semester starts on the 27th of August this year. Normally I'd have another week of time to ride, but new responsibilities at work this year mean that I have to attend meetings a good chunk of the next week.
It is always bittersweet to see the lazy days of summer come to an end. One of the better parts of teaching is the long summer break, but it is always exciting and interesting to see those college kids come tearing back into the classroom. A lot of faces change over each year...seniors that spent four years with you are out in "the real world" and a bunch of freshmen are nervously trying to figure out what they gotten themselves into. It really is fun to be a part of that process, but it is stressful as well.
I just accept a new set of courses after 27 years spent teaching broadcast journalism. I needed a change, but what a challenge. The bike, and the riding, have been a necessary thing for me this summer. Something to get my mind off the pressures associated with all the changes.
Worse than any of that pressure has been the process of saying goodbye to my mother-in-law. She is the best I could have hoped for, but it will be a miracle if she is still with us at the end of the month. Leukemia is winning the battle in spite of a courageous fight. My wife has been a trooper through all of this, but it is hard to let go.
My wife is working today, the kids are in school or at work and I wanted to take a longer ride to let things go. Mother Nature had other plans.
We, along with a huge chunk of the country, have been experiencing a drought...all summer...so it rained today. Well, not all of it. But the weather forecast called for thunderstorms, some severe, beginning this afternoon.
Okay, knowing that, I planned to hit the road about 8:00 and head west to Cataract Falls--about 40 miles or so-- and then explore some of the gravel roads in that area. The fact that I bothered to develop a plan meant that it wouldn't happen.
At 10:15 I pulled out of the garage. Planned to hit IN-42 west out of Mooresville and head for the Falls. Wind was fairly gusty and the skies were pretty overcast--and a lot darker off to the northwest.
The conversation in my helmet was, "Do I change my plans since I don't have any rain gear and I don't know where I can find shelter?" v. "Come on! Suck it up! Riders on ADV laugh at rain! Better yet, they strip down and call it bath time! You gonna' be a wimp?"
Turns out, I was a wimp. Of course, I would just be getting back about the time I am writing this and it is pouring outside. Thunder and lighting are the order of the hour. Made the better decision.
The photos that follow were shot south of Mooresville, IN--while I was being a wimp. Cataract Falls will have to wait. Google Earth it if you can't.
Just west of those two shots I passed a house with one of those giant satellite dishes in the front yard. The owner had painted, "13 Miles from Nowhere" on the face it. I was reassured. Up to that point I had thought I was in the middle of nowhere.
Decided y'all needed a little "artsy" in your life and took these two. Makes you feel all fuzzy, doesn't it?
I am really learning to appreciate this old '83 650 parallel twin. It is really a lightweight bike, fairly small and pretty torquey. Drop down to about 2k rpm and just dial it up around corners. Tractors out without any of the frenetic drama that my old Yamaha I4 had. This one is starting to run out of steam at the point where the I4 was just waking up.
Ran it up to about 70 on a short stretch between Martinsville and Mooresville today and it ran comfortably at just under 5k rpm. That is enough for me right now. Ten years is a long time to be off a bike.
You'll see a lot of work needs to be done to the engine cases and valve cover. That's an over-the-winter project. Spent the last year getting it running correctly and reliably.
Mentioned my father a few posts ago in connection with the tractor shot. He was also a Nazarene pastor, so I decided to take a shot of this little country church when I happened upon it. Lost him ten years ago this year. Hard to believe I am now the same age he was when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Pretty sure I wouldn't handle that diagnosis as well as he did. I thought he was old when the disease hit him, but now I see that he probably didn't feel that he was. I sure don't feel old. Makes me appreciate his courage in the face of that horrible disease all the more
Headed back toward home and the threatened front was just becoming visible.
It can be difficult to get the camera straight with a helmet on. The flag poles are vertical--Photobucket isn't playing nicely today...so crooked shot it is.
I hit the front about 6 miles from home. Temperatures dropped by about 10 degrees and it got pretty windy, so I was just as happy I had saved Cataract Falls for another time.
Got sort of pensive with this ride. Glad I had the chance to do this before the semester gets crazy.
Thanks for riding along.

Trail Tech Voyager - Interesting GPS Speedo!

I stand corrected.....
Since the tach function was not listed on the TrailTech Voyager page and I did not come across any screen shots showing a tach even in the user manual I assumed (Oops.....) it did not have that feature. Doing a search in the user manual .pdf document did list a tach on pages #7 and #24.
My point about the iPhone 3Gs GPS functions, with the free app I have, was more about the maps I get. In fact it actually helped me locate myself in the woods quicker than my Garmin 60C did awhile back. Yes I was surprised by that also.
And I do agree with you comment "....what it is designed for the Voyager works really well."
It has a lot of good features (see pg. 24 in the manual) that are nice to have all in one package taking up a small space on the bike. I was just disapointed that the GPS does not have more of the basic features most GPS users are used to getting even on the low $$$ units.
I'll edit my original post to state it does have a tach.
Bikeless at this time
Past Bikes.....Check with my Wife.....I've lost count :-)
