Close the Missile Gap • Currently far behind U.S. in terms of number of missiles • Verbal threats no longer effective with overwhelming evidence of U.S. superiority 2. Protect Cuba 3. Reciprocity • The U.S. has missiles pointing at us, let's see how they feel now 4. Inability to Use the Missiles • If fired a missile, repercussions would be severe Why Khrushchev Settled •Effectiveness of naval quarantine •Conventional inferiority in the Caribbean •No possible countermove •Overwhelming world support for the U.S. •Other possible reasons – Got what he wanted? •No U.S. invasion of Cuba •U.S. missiles withdrawn from Turkey Castro's Role •No real role in decision making •Apparently out of touch with the situation – Oct. 26: "Aggression imminent/imperialists disregarding world opinion"—Clearly not the case – Khrushchev plays along to some extent but it is clear he disagrees with him… ("your suggestion would have started a thermonuclear world war") The American Decision • In September Kennedy had stated and Congress had passed a resolution saying that if the Soviet Union placed offensive weapons in Cuba we would not tolerate it. –Could we then rely solely on diplomacy? Both Kennedy brothers thought that John could be "impeached" if he didn't act in accordance with his prior warnings •Determined in first 48 hours of crisis that the removal of missiles was the primary objective •Many options were considered The American Decision: Considerations (1) Air Strike – On October 17th, President Kennedy considered that there would be an air strike, at least against the missile sites, and perhaps against wider targets – Reservations from others: air strike may be using a "sledgehammer" to kill a "fly – Later that day Robert McNamara suggests policy in between diplomacy and an air strike (2) Blockade – Advocated by McNamara and Robert Kennedy – Critics feared it would allow Soviets time – 10/19, Kennedy accepted plan The American Decision: Considerations (3) Do Nothing – Ignore missiles in Cuba. – U.S. had military bases in 127 different countries including Cuba. – U.S. had nuclear missiles in several countries close to the Soviet Union. – Therefore, only right that the Soviet Union should be allowed to place missiles in Cuba. (4) Negotiate – U.S. should offer the Soviet Union a deal. – USSR remove missiles in CubaU.S. withdraw her nuclear missiles from Turkey and Italy. The American Decision: Considerations (5) Invasion – Send U.S. troops to Cuba to overthrow Castro's government. – Missiles could then be put out of action and the Soviet Union could no longer use Cuba as a military base. (6) Nuclear Weapons – Use nuclear weapons against Cuba and/or the Soviet Union. Activity 1 • As teams, please respond to the following Cuban Missile Crisis prompts, with clearly written, detailed discussions. • Premier Khrushchev's Letter: 1. Discuss the underlying tone of Khrushchev's letter. 2. Describe the line of logic that Khrushchev used in making his case. 3. Ultimately, what was the Soviet commitment toward the crisis? Identify and discuss. Consequences of Cuban Missile Crisis Some of the direct consequences of the crisis include the following: (1)HOT LINE The two sides established a direct communications link that became known as the Hot Line. It was hoped that this would help prevent dangerous confrontations such as the Cuban Missile Crisis arising again. (2) U.S. REMOVES MISSILES Three months after the Cuban Missile Crisis the United States secretly removed all its nuclear missiles from Turkey and Italy. Consequences of Cuban Missile Crisis (3) TEST BAN TREATY A Test Ban Treaty was signed between the two countries in August 1963. The treaty prohibited the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. (4)PRISONERS RELEASED The 1,113 prisoners captured during the Bay of Pigs invasion were exchanged by Castro for $50 million in food, drugs, medicine and cash. (5) USSR RESOLVE The Soviet Union became determined to have a nuclear capability that was equal to the United States. This was achieved by 1972. Consequences of Cuban Missile Crisis (6) STRAIN ON SOVIET ALLIES China accused the Soviet Union of being a 'paper-tiger' and claimed to be the true leader of the Communist movement. The split between the Soviet Union and China became wider. (7) U.S. RESOLVE The United States became convinced that the Soviet Union would not go to war over another communist country. It has been argued that this encouraged the United States to help attempts to overthrow socialist and communist governments in Vietnam, Nicaragua and Grenada.

Funny enough, my very first attempt at the Gorn was using the DAZ Troll mounted with the head from Scott_A's Delgadosaurus,
Still just messing about.
There are two ways to get promoted as a redshirt in the Toon Trek universe.
1. Catch the Captain's eye.
2. Survive the mission.
thanks for the morphs, Bluto!
looks good tim
My attempt at the uniform from Star Trek: Final Frontier animated series. Been wanting to do it ever since I'd seen an image of Captain Chase years ago…
I like that, sharp design.

The ticking of Sheryl Crow's biological clock was apparently too loud for Lance Armstrong to handle.
The seven-time Tour de France winner has for the first time ever revealed the real reason he and Crow called off their engagement and cut romantic ties in his new biography, Lance: The Making of the World's Greatest Champion.
"She wanted marriage, she wanted children; and not that I didn't want that, but I didn't want that at that time because I had just gotten out of a marriage, I'd just had kids," the 37-year-old said of their 2006 split, per an excerpt of the book.
"Yet we're up against her biological clock—that pressure is what cracked it."
Armstrong, already a father of three with one on the way with girlfriend Anna Hansen (no word on the tenacity of her internal ticking), said that things between him and the 47-year-old singer started to unravel not long after their 2005 engagement and became "kind of a struggle," ultimately ending just two weeks before Crow's 44th birthday.
And while it was not likely to be the kind of birthday surprise Crow was expecting, Armstrong admits that the split, in hindsight, wasn't exactly carried out with the best timing—and not just because Crow underwent surgery for breast cancer just weeks later.
"I felt like I wasn't ready," he said in the book, first excerpted by the New York Post. "I would have been in the future, but not then."
"Because if somebody wants a child—man, that's the greatest gift you can give to a woman—so who are you to stand there and say I don't want one. So we were at different points in our lives.
"We were not compatible on that issue."
Not that Crow needed his compatibility in the end. In 2007, she adopted then two-week-old son Wyatt Steven Crow.
As for Armstrong, he's finally ready for a paternal rerun—Hansen is due next month.
His other major delivery, that of his book to store shelves, is set for June 29.

In-flight entertainment and connectivity vendors don't do well with deadlines. Like major airframers, they often agree to overly ambitious delivery schedules, only to end up missing the mark by many months or even years.
Such delays are not always the fault of IFE&C suppliers. Airlines play their part as well, opting sometimes to keep aircraft in revenue service rather than allow downtime for lengthy retrofits. But more often than not, the IFE&C industry is the stumbling block.
Now is the time for the industry to change its track record of tardiness and rebuild – or just build – its credibility. Passengers' expectations have increased to the point where airlines are finally ready to offer superfast in-flight internet and state-of-the-art entertainment to mimic the home theatre experience. Airlines know that robust IFE&C in-seat platforms have become the cost of doing long-haul business, and that in-flight connectivity is becoming increasingly important on short-haul flights. They're ready to lay out significant expenditure to offer it. But some are still worried about promises made and broken.
The IFE&C vendors that reverse that perception by setting realistic deadlines for equipage and then making good on those deadlines are the ones that will ultimately win the prize. Those who do not will miss out on an impending financial windfall.
If you need evidence of said impending windfall, check out Flight International's latest IFE&C feature packet. (For the record, I prefer the acronym IFEC over IFE&C, but the copy editors have their own view on the matter. I'm working to change that view. :0)

The medical literature does not provide sufficient information or recommendation regarding the optimal time to remove the staples and the bandage after a cesarean section. The goal of this study is to compare 4 groups of patients:
- staple removal on POD 4 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)1
- staple removal on POD 4 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)4
- staple removal on POD 7 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)1
- staple removal on POD 7 and dressing removal on Post Operative Day (POD)7
Since there is no definite protocol for staple and dressing removal, we will adapt the above protocol each for a 3 month period of time. Patients will be contacted to either return for a follow up visit or to answer a telephone survey.

Microsoft reveals financial results
Microsoft has revealed its financial results for the first quarter of 2009, up to September 30.
The company has announced a revenue of $15.06 billion, operating income of $6 billion, and net income of $4.37 billion.
The results show a revenue on increase of 9% from the same quarter last year, but when increased expenses are considered, the net income comes out at a 2% rise.
"In a challenging economic environment, the first-quarter results exhibit the strength and diversity of our business model," said Chris Liddell, chief financial officer of Microsoft.
Looking forward, Microsoft says in the current economic climate, they will focus on low cost of ownership, n expense management and "targeting investment into the highest priority strategic opportunities."

MacAskill released the follow-up to his 2013 film Imaginate, which was directed by long time collaborator Dave Sowerby, today.
The film was shot in Villa Epecuan, a once thriving tourist town that was destroyed by floodwaters 25 years ago, in Argentina.
MacAskill, who was recently spotted filming on top of the Finnieston crane for a series of videos that will be shown during the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, said: "Villa Epecuén has been a location that inspired me as soon as I saw photos of it on the Internet a couple of years ago and I started dreaming of the potential of the place; I just knew I had to go and make a film there. I wanted to be the first person to ride the incredible forgotten city once the waters started to recede."

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 12/5/12
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Jacksonville Jaguars leading receiver Cecil Shorts III has passed his post-concussion test, but has not been cleared to practice or play. Coach Mike Mularkey says Shorts is still dealing with concussion symptoms. He sat out practice Wednesday, making it unclear whether he will play Sunday against the New York Jets. Shorts leads the Jaguars (2-10) with 43 receptions for 824 yards and seven touchdowns. If he can't play, rookie Kevin Elliott likely would start against the Jets. Running back Rashad Jennings and defensive end George Selvie, meanwhile, have not passed their post-concussion tests. The Jaguars also were without cornerback Aaron Ross (calf), running back Maurice Jones-Drew (foot), fullback Greg Jones (thigh), defensive end Austen Lane (foot) and guard Mike Brewster (hand) in practice Wednesday.

I bought this for my 2 year old son for Halloween. He is not thrilled about dressing up. This costume was perfect because it's one piece and then has a hood. He wouldn't wear the hood, but still looked like the character.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I bought this costume for my 2 1/2 yr old son who usually wears a 3T. The costume size stated it was 2T to 4T however it fit more like 18-24 months! Luckily I found it in the store in a boys size small and was able to exchange it so not only can he wear it this year it will last him much longer if…BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The package said toddler 2-4 but tag said fits 1-2 years. Not what I expected. It was a little too small.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
While I appreciate the low price, I kind of wish I would have invested in a nicer costume. I had to re-do at least half of the stitching straight out of package. The top half is very tight and bottom half (waist down) is super baggy. My son loves it, but unfortunately I don't think it will last…BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So much more sparkle! "Dancing With the Stars" is turning it up to 11 -- Week 11, that is.
The first night of Season 17's two-part finale extravaganza saw the final four perform three dances: A judges' choice, a samba relay danced to a live performance of "No Scrubs" by TLC (featuring Lil Mama), and the always unpredictable, ever entertaining freestyle routine.
It also bid adieu to one of the final four couples. Although he held on for longer than anyone (including himself) thought he would, comedian Bill Engvall and his pro partner, Emma Slater, ultimately got their walking papers.
"It just goes to prove to me that there is a God, because I don't think I can make one more dance," the injured comedian joked.
PHOTOS: 'Dancing With the Stars' Season 17 — Who's left?
At least Bill went out on a memorable high note. He got to dance with Derek during the samba relay transition. His freestyle routine not only earned him his first 9 score ever, but he took his shirt off and seared the image of his bare torso into the eyes of an unsuspecting public, changing a nation forever.
And he had a good time doing it. "I've had so much fun," he said during rehearsals. "I have a new best friend and a fake daughter. ... It's been one hell of an experience."
The three remaining finalists now have 24 hours to put together another dance to fuse two styles. Amber and Derek are doing the samba/quickstep, Corbin and Karina the cha-cha/foxtrot, and Jack and Cheryl will do a paso doble/salsa.
Amber Riley and Derek Hough retained their lead going into the Tuesday results show with three near-perfect performances. The judges gave the couple their Week 3 Charleston to do over. Carrie Ann Inaba told them the only way the high-scoring Amber was going to make an impact in the finals was to show growth.
Last time, their Baz Luhrmann "Great Gatsby" flapper number was out of sync and not precise. But this time, Amber shined up those edges to a sharp and gleaming point.
Carrie Ann preened like a proud mama. "You completely outdid yourself," she said. Len said the dance was the most improved. Birthday boy Bruno said the footwork needed work the first time around, but "it was as sharp as a razor blade tonight."

Amber was on the Swiss-timing precision train and she wasn't about to get off for the freestyle. The "Glee" actress showed Derek some of her stepping moves back in Week 3, and Derek incorporated most of it into a high-stepping, insanely entertaining Wild West stepping routine.
Amber sauntered into the saloon doors at high noon with spurs kicking and attitude ablaze, and took the whole place down one finger gun at a time.
"You're there with 6 pro guys -- I only watched you," said Len. "You're class, fast, and built to last." "Nobody could ever take their eyes off of you," Bruno agreed. "Bewitchingly awesome." Carrie Ann said Amber never lost control and "never lost the beat. ... You're like a diva dancing James Brown!"
Amber and Derek received a perfect 30 for their Charleston do-over, four points for their second-place samba, and another perfect score for their freestyle. Total: 64 out of 65.
The judges selected the old Hollywood time-y quickstep for Corbin Bleu's and Karina Smirnoff's do-over dance. Len found the routine too frantic the first time around, and came to rehearsals to try to get the "High School Musical" star to add some moments of stillness alongside the speed during this second take.
Len said he saw improvement, and the routine had calmed down a bit, but the left arm was a bit wonky. "If you did that on the highway you would have gotten a speeding ticket," Bruno declared. "But you went out of sync." Carrie Ann, frankly, was disappointed. "Truth is, I didn't see an improvement," she said bluntly." Get your mojo back!"

And get it back he did with his freestyle, inspired by Corbin's musical hero, Michael Jackson, and set to "Smooth Criminal." Corbin even traveled to Las Vegas to get tips and trick ideas from the King of Pop's choreographer, Travis Payne. Karina hoped the routine would be epic with gangster moves and an acrobatic assist from Tony, Gleb, Sasha, and Henry.

I'll bite on the ugly idea. Yes Mexico has more than it's share of litter,straight pipes into streams & buildings that would look better were they painted, too many utility wires and so on. My wife is always bothered by the trash lying about. I see it too but it doesn't keep me from the many good aspects of Mexico & it's people.
They are actually starting to pick up the trash down there last few years!
Guess who picks up the trash in my KY home? One guess is all you get!
Main diffs I see over time are roads & signs and some buildings & of course in touristy areas like Play del Carmen where the influx of money has changed things in a huge way-not all for the better IMO. Wasn't it 1974 when Mexican govmt. started the Cancun thing? Not much there before then. I can remember standing in line as recently as late 1980's to use THE! phone in Playa. Now they have big macs & traffic jams...
watch out what you wish for huh...

Dr. Hemant Joshi Improves Patient Smiles with Dental Implants at Pomona Dental Associates
If you have missing, severely damaged or extracted teeth, you know that it can result in both cosmetic and periodontal issues. At Pomona Dental Associates, patients can get dental implants as solution to their gaped smile. Dr. Hemant Joshi helps patients boost their self-confidence and prevent periodontal infection by placing dental implants. With this natural looking solution, patients can return to their regular daily routines and smile with confidence.
Dental implants are a great way to restore your smile. The implant is custom created for your attributes and is designed to fit comfortably and naturally into your mouth. The color and texture of the implant blends in with the rest of your teeth and restores the appearance of a complete smile, giving them a natural look and feel. Patients that leave Dr. Hemant Joshi's office can smile, laugh and speak with confidence, knowing that their dental implant makes their smile complete.
The implant itself is designed in a lab and sent back to the dental office to be installed into a patient's mouth. The dental implant is securely attached to the jaw bone where it is certain to remain for a very long time. Once the implant is installed, the patient is able to return to their daily routines and oral health habits. With dental implants, regular brushing and flossing is all that is needed to care for the restoration. There is a short recovery period following a dental implant restoration, but patients generally feel better by the third day. Dr. Hemant Joshi recommends that patients do not put direct pressure on the implant immediately following the procedure. However, after the implant has healed, patients can eat and drink as they would normally. With the implant restoration completed, patients can not only show off their new smile with confidence, but they lower their risk of periodontal disease and increase the ease of oral care. If you think that dental implants could improve your smile, visit Dr. Hemant Joshi at Pomona Dental Associates.
For more information on dental implants, visit http://www.pomonadentalassociates.com or call 909-622-2150 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Hemant Joshi of Pomona Dental Associates.

The city is slated to hold a "Holiday Kick-Off and Tree Lighting Celebration" to formally light up the display, on Nov. 19, at 6 p.m., at the municipal hall. The decorations include a giant, 58-foot-tall Christmas tree, with lots of big, yellow bows, and little, red balls all over it.
It also includes smaller light displays, featuring reindeer, elves, small Christmas trees, a toy-filled sleigh, and holiday greetings.

Entrepreneur Works
Entrepreneurs participating in either a peer group, business course or individualized training are eligible for a direct loan product. The Small Business Loan (SBL) program offers loans of up to $25,000 for existing businesses and up to $15,000 for start-ups. SBLs are not tied to membership in a peer group and those applying are eligible to receive assistance assembling their loan package. Unlike a peer loan, applying for a SBL will require a credit check and assignment of collateral.
Entrepreneurs who become members of an Entrepreneur Works chartered peer group are eligible to apply for loans graduating in steps from $500 to $5,000. Individual members must make loan requests through their peer group. Peer loans follow a stepped-loan model, where an individual takes a small loan, successfully repays it, and is then eligible to borrow at a higher loan level (e.g. borrower takes a first loan of $500, successfully repays, and returns to borrow $1,000). Peer loans range from $500 to $5,000 and start at two levels: $500 (basic) or $1,500 (accelerated) depending on the length of their business ownership/experience. Both tracks cap out at $5,000 using a graduated step process. Peer loans do not require a certain credit score or the pledge of collateral; however, each loan must be unanimously approved by the borrower's peer group members. Peer borrowers are not judged on their credit but are offered the opportunity to have their credit pulled and reviewed.
In certain cases, Entrepreneur Works will work with partner programs to provide loans over $25,000. For more information, visit www.MyEntrepreneurWorks.org

John Selep's AgTech Innovation Fund targets ag and life science technology.
The UpTake: With its location near the heart of the most productive farmland in the world, Sacramento could be the epicenter of agriculture biotech investing, say VCs in the region.
Agriculture could be the future of venture capitalism in the Sacramento region, many say.
"This is absolutely the epicenter of agricultural biotechnology," said Peter Bernardoni, managing director at Wavepoint Ventures LLC, a venture capital firm in El Dorado Hills.
"It is not a question of 'if' but of 'when' Sacramento becomes a hotbed of investment and development into agricultural technology," Bernardoni said.
For more news from the Sacramento Business Journal, check out Mark Anderson's work.
That investment already has started. In April, Davis-based agricultural startup biotechnology company BioConsortia Inc. raised a $15 million round of funding from Khosla Ventures and Otter Capital LLC.
The growing ag manufacturing cluster locally moved business veteran John Selep to start organizing AgTech Innovation Fund, a planned $50 million venture capital fund in Davis to invest in early-stage agriculture and life science technology companies in California.
Local companies include homegrown operations like Arcadia Biosciences and Marrone Bio Innovations Inc., as well as major laboratories and offices operated by international giants such as Bayer Cropscience, Dow Agroscience, Syngenta AG and Monsanto Co.
The Central Valley also has extensive crop diversity and high-value crops. Those are important distinctions for startup ag technologies, Selep said, because a farmer who earns $6,000 from an acre of grapes can afford to experiment more with technologies than a Midwest wheat farmer who might earn just $300 per acre.
Working with agricultural technology is "developing technology that is unique to this region," said Jim Schraith, a venture partner of DFJ Frontier in El Dorado Hills. He points out that agriculture is a wide swath of industries from gene splicing and laboratory biotechnology to animal husbandry, tomato processing and even wine and beer making.
Mark Anderson covers technology, agriculture, banking and finance, venture capital, energy, mining and hospitality for the Sacramento Business Journal.

Having discovered a dramatic increase of an easy-to-detect enzyme in the red blood cells of people with diabetes and prediabetes, Johns Hopkins scientists say the discovery could lead to a simple, routine test for detecting the subtle onset of the disease, before symptoms or complications occur and in time to reverse its course.
Pilot studies, published online April 22 in Diabetes, show the enzyme O-GlcNAcase is up to two to three times higher in people with diabetes and prediabetes than in those with no disease: "That's a big difference, especially in an enzyme that's as tightly regulated as this one is," says Gerald Hart, Ph.D., the DeLamar Professor and director of biological chemistry at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Building on their previous research, which showed how an abundant but difficult-to-detect sugar switch known as O-GlcNAc (pronounced oh-GLICK-nack) responded to nutrients and stress, the Hopkins team knew this small molecule was elevated in the red cells of patients with diabetes. "The question was whether the elevation happened in the earliest stages of diabetes and therefore might have value as a diagnostic tool," Hart said.
To find out, Kyoungsook Park, a graduate student of biological chemistry working in Hart's lab, focused on levels of O-GlcNAcase, an enzyme that removes O-GlcNAc in red cells. O-GlcNAc modifies many of the cell's proteins to control their functions in response to nutrients and stress. Nutrients, such as glucose and lipids, increase the extent of O-GlcNAc modification of proteins affecting their activities. When the extent of O-GlcNAc attached to proteins becomes too high, as occurs in diabetes, it is harmful to the cell.
First, Park purified human red blood cells by depleting them of their main constituent, hemoglobin. The samples had been collected by two sources the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, or NIDDK, and Johns Hopkins Diabetes C

This Years' Von Miller & Da'Quan Bowers
Last year at this time we had Miller going in the teens and Bowers going in the top five. Any guesses/predictions on who will be this years Miller and Bowers?
If any?
I think Brockers is going to fly up the draft... He'll end up top 12.
Until we see Med reports don't know if anyone will fall
My guess would be Nick Perry and Dre Kirkpatrick.
Everyone was thinking Brockers was staying in school till a week ago.
I think Crick will fall some due to his injury - he wasn't a top 10 guy but was definitely late first round worthy prior to his injury. He might get knocked down to the late second/early third now.
This is always a fun question to speculate about.
For huge risers, I would keep an eye on Scott's prospect crush Dontari Poe. Scott is usually pretty good at detecting sleepers, and Poe has TRULY rare physical tools. I also think Mark Barron has an outside chance to go in the top ten. It seems like alot of the professional types have him rated higher than the draftnick community does.
Of course, my guess is Ryan Tannehill will end up being drafted by the Skins at six or the Phins at eight or nine. I don't like Tannehill, and would never take him in the first round, but QBs just don't last. Also, watch out for Osweiler if he somehow ends up passing Tannehill on draft boards. I believe there will be a third QB taken in the top ten.
As for fallers, I know some people are pumping Whitney Mercilus up as a top ten pick, but I think he will steadily drop down draft boards, and end up as a late first/early second rounder. Riley Reiff might also get the Bryan Bulaga treatment and fall into the 20s.
Whitney Mercilus.
I hate to say it but Fletcher Cox. Not a lot of hype around him right now but he's still considered a late 1st. He is a guy who is going to make eyes pop at the combine and he's going to catch the attention of teams with that combine. Then you go back and look at the tape and you see one of the best penetrating DTs to come out in the past few years, and then you look at his insanely high ceiling, that's going to really make someone take him high. I want him to go to the Broncos but I would not be surprised to see him go REALLY early, I think a team like the Panthers might draft him in the top 10.
Some of you guys need to grow some balls in these threads. Crick and Brockers are not remotely acceptable answers.
I think this year's Von Miller is already starting to get a little buzz - Kendall Wright. I think Tampa Bay could think long and hard about him at #5.
The Bowers is tough without a medical history.....I could see Trent Richardson going a lot lower than people expect I guess.
My only issue with Cox is that I can't see him fitting in the 3-4, so that cuts his list of potential suitors in half. He strikes me as a pure 4-3 UT.
Honestly as far as 3-4 DE comparison goes I kind of see JJ Watts. I'd say they look about the same in terms of build. Both have really great motors, and both are very impressive athletes. They also both had a tendency to play high in college and both were technically raw. I don't know it feels like a weird comparison but when the more I think about it the more I can see it. I guess it's weird because of their roles in 4-3 and their major positions in college.
I could see Wright making a rise, especially if he gets amazing measurables ala Darius Heyward Bey.
To be honest, Bowers dropped like a stone due to scary health issues, most of which will not surface until combine time.
Either way, if Corey Luiget can get drafted by a 3-4 team, anything is possible.
ESPN Draftg Swami Mel Kiper released his first mock draft for the 2012 NFL Draft today. The Packers sit with the No. 28 pick and Kiper has them selecting Illinois linebacker Whitney Mercilus.
Kiper wrote:
It was masked somewhat by reputation, but no team in the NFL had a lower sack rate than Green Bay during the regular season. And it was on display again in the playoffs the Packers simply cant create pressure without bringing blitzers, leaving the secondary vulnerable. Mercilus (pronounced merciless) played to that description at Illinois this past season. I see him standing up as an outside linebacker after playing with his hand on the ground in college. At 6-foot-4, 265 pounds, he has a good profile for the position, and he really knows how to get to the quarterback. The question on him is he really exploded this season, so the body of work is lighter than some, but the Packers need to find some pass-rush help and Mercilus is a good value here based on his current grade.
A pass-rusher is clearly the top need for the Packers and an outside linebacker opposite Clay Matthews is probably more valuable than a defensive end. Pro Football Weekly senior editor Nolan Nawrocki has said Alabamas Courtney Upshaw and South Carolinas Melvin Ingram would be the top two to fit the Packers scheme.
Upshaws stock has risen since the National Championship game and Kiper has him going No. 10 to the Bills. He has Ingram slotted to go No. 12 to the Seahawks.
Yeah let's make this a Packers thread!
**** off j-mike
yeah, if I could vote for this year's Von Miller it would Kendall Wright. Obviously he won't rise to #2 overall or anything like that, but maybe he can go to Miami, Carolina, Buffalo, or Seattle. Chris Long was another guy like Von Miller who rose from mid first rounder to top 3 pick, though he did it sooner than Miller did in the mock draft world. I think there's a tiny chance that Mike Adams could rise into the 8-12 range as well. He certainly has the physical skills to do so, he just has to be a total boss at the senior bowl and combine.
Finding this year's super faller like Taylor Mays, Carlos Dunlap, or Da'Quan Bowers is a little more difficult. Obviously top 5 picks don't fall into the 2nd round hardly ever, but I could see some guys projected as top 15 picks falling into the second. Maybe Courtney Upshaw or an OT like Reiff or Martin maybe. Someone is bound to bomb at the combine and/or have an off-field incident or injury that causes them to bomb down draft boards.
Kendall Wright and Quinton Coples will probably be getting a lot of top-ten consideration. Someone who could slide down the boards is Devon Still.
Now I know I just went off on how talented Fletcher Cox is and how he has the ability to really rise up boards and I still really believe that to be true. However the names keylime listed two below have a better chance at being the "Von Miller" or the "Tyson Jackson" of this draft for the reason he stated, team needs There is a far greater demand for WR's and OT's at the top of the draft than there is for a DT.
As for Mike Adams, I really am having a hard time seeing what a lot of people aren't seeing in him. I know even Ohio State fans were down on him following his junior year relative to the expectations coming out of HS, but he was a flat out dominant force for the Buckeyes on the left side this year following his suspension. He has a prototype build and ideal size, long arms, thick lower body, natural bender, very fluid kick step, mirrors well in space, gets movement on D-Lineman as consistently as any OT in this draft not to mention he played like a prick (in a good way) this year and really excelled at finishing his blocks in the run game. I watch him and I watch a highly regarded guy like Jonathan Martin and I don't think their talent levels are all that comparable. Mike is noticeably better. His potential is immense, he has all the tools you look for and there is always a high demand early in the draft for guys with the skillset to be a legit franchise OT and this year is no different.
just for clarification, Mike had a great junior year. He was 1st team all big ten. It was after his sophomore year that everyone was crying "bust." He was pretty nasty as a senior (though he missed 5 games), but still he gets beat every once and a while (almost always on the inside move) which comes from inconsistent technique.
Vinny Curry is very similar to Miller....but I don't see him going that high.

Mirage 2 - Low cost, high quality alternative to Desierto III...
I've read alot of good reviews of the Desierto III, but $800 USD is a bit rich for my blood. Well, actually I'm OK with it, but the S.O. is definitely not. She hates it when I say "that's what credit cards are for, honey". :evil
A Vancouver BC manufacturer of dual sport screens (Brittania Composites, you've probably seen some of their fairings around on KLR's and DR's) is preparing to release an adventure fairing for the F800GS, very similar to the Desierto complete with adjustable screen and dashboard to mount switches etc.
Ian tells me the price will be around $500 Can., and the release date is somewhere around September. If I get some info I'll pass it along, until then here's a linky:
:lurk Can't wait to see it!
I can't eat popcorn and wait with anticipation! I'm about 3 weeks from riding to TT and forking over the cash for a D3 (far less than 800 clams here). If this amazing sounding product is just on the horizon I might hold off if someone "leaks" a few pics and specs!
I'm all about supporting small business. BCL isn't Apple with a new iWhatever so some prerelease info would probably bolster sales, not hurt them.
<passes the puck to Ian B>
If this ticks the following boxes, I'll probably buy one instead of the DIII I had in mind.
-Takes stock headlight unit without drilling/modification.
-Allows TT headlight shroud to be used (or has an effective equivalent built in)
-Is adjustable with a wide range to allow for both on motorways and off road.
-Doesn't look terrible
-Has decent mount options to put GPS/night vision/rear camera monitor/equivalent high up above the clocks in the riders' view.
Same here. Even if you couldn't leak a photo, maybe they could give us an idea of what "other model" they make that it closely resembles (thinking the red one on the front page of their website is kind of DS3 looking).:evil
More discussion re. this from the manufacturer starting at post # 295.
Maybe some of the bigger FF could 'persuade' him to leak some design drawings...:hide
Sounds interesting for me.So we have to wait a bit to see it installed-I want to see the design of that making-and then it's going to take some $ from our wallet to install it on the F8's :freaky
Can't wait to hear about this :ear From Canada to boot :clap
New F650/800 fairing from Britannia Composites
The test rides are now done on the fairing and it will be in production around mid Sept.
As with our Lynx fairings, The design features a dashboard on which the OEM speedo unit is relocated and incorporates a platform for a GPS above it in the 'head up display' position. The dash is a structural part of the fairing and acts as a brace, so we have eliminated the need for separate metal bracing (when you make things from composites, you don't like metal !).
The design features the same variable and slide away screen as used on our other designs, but we have formed a lip at the bottom of the screen to increase the ram air effect behind it to further smooth out the airflow.
Testing showed that we could ride quite comfortably at speeds up to 120kph with the helmet visor cracked halfway open ( Shoie Hornet) and then went on to flat out at indicated 190 kph :eek1 without any issues. (closed circuit of course !!)
Overall, I'm really pleased with this one and it's certainly turned some heads locally.
Not finalised, but should be around $500 and available by the end of Sept.
Here's a pic of the Prototype
Hi Ian can you put more picts of the fairing ?
One pict of the front and one of the dashbord
I like the pic of this and I like the sound of the GPS mount. Have you got a distributor in UK/europe lined up?
I like the look of your prototype, I reckon that an 800GS needs an adjustable screen so you can cover both road touring and off road use.
I much prefer dealing direct with the manufacturer for things like this ... A distributor just adds another layer of cost to the item. Appointing distributors all over the world is just so 20th century. :gerg

Cheap lens (not kit) challenge?

You have a great idea. The host would need to make it clear that the entrants are trusted to be honorable. As with any challenge that is not straightforward it would be necessary to deal with a few naysayers and also entrants that don't read or understand the rules. If it were kept positive it could be a fun challenge. I can't enter, but would love to see the entries.

Excited to announce that I'm on the final (relatively speaking) stages of building out LeBaron. If ever you want to know what it means to marathon design, build a typeface. There will be an inline and regular weight as well a full set of glyphs, small lowercase characters, and flourished alternates for caps.
None of the characters are final, just an in progress shot to hold me to actually finishing out this beast.
Sorry the animation is so fast. There are a lot of frames.
Many thanks to @Riley Cran and @Joe Prince for helping me out on this interminable journey.
Should be dropping sometime this Fall.

Whenever you step onto a yacht to go sailing, there's a possibility that you will face a life threatening situation, if not yours, then someone else's. How will you fare? The recipients of the Canadian Safe Boating Council's 2010 Rescue of the Year were tested and not found wanting.
2010 Rescue of the Year award for Chris Busch, Nick Crooks, Lindie Rudover, Carol Crooks, Alan Johnson and Alex Baker - photo by Scott Webster
The six crew members of the yacht Private Idaho, who were honoured in Toronto last month at a ritzy function at the Sheraton Centre, admitted that they had previously done 'man overboard' practice in daylight, and had done a debriefing of 'safety stuff' just before they left, which stood them in good stead.
In a fifty knot storm, close to midnight, the Private Idaho, with crew members Chris Busch, Nick Crooks, Lindie Rudover, Carol Crooks, skipper Alan Johnson and Alex Baker on board, passed a strobe light floating in the water. Strobe lights are often attached to life jackets.
'I had that sinking feeling,' Carol Crooks told the local news outlet www.windsorstar.com!The_Windsor_Star, though there was nobody in the water.
Not long after that, the crew heard someone shout, 'Help!'
'All of us just turned our heads to the right and boom, there he was,' said Crooks, who said she illuminated the man's head with a cheap flashlight she'd stuck in her pocket by chance. 'The water was so black and the sky was so black it was unbelievable we found him.'
That man was Branden Brickles of Fenton, Michigan, who had been hurled off his 36-foot catamaran by the stiff winds. The storm had blown the boat away from him, and he didn't have a life-jacket on when he hit the water.
'Luckily I got blown back into the path of another boat,' he said. 'I was really thinking, 'I didn't want to die this way.'
Soon, Crooks said, the crew had unpacked a large spotlight and trained it on Brickles. But even getting close enough to pick him up was difficult, Crooks said.
'In three-to five-foot waves we couldn't approach him the way you're supposed to approach him. We had to do a special spin and approach him at a different angle.'
Through it all, Johnson, who was at the helm, said he and the crew kept their cool. But as he turned the boat around, they lost sight of Brickles and his heart sank.
'Worst three seconds of my life,' he said.
The crew, though, quickly located Brickles with the spotlight, and got the boat in the right position for the roaring waves to carry him to the hull.
'It seemed like an hour but it had probably been three or four minutes,' Johnson said. 'His face was barely above water at all.'
Crooks said it took two tries for Brickles to catch a tossed life preserver, at which point he simply gave up and began floating on the device. The crew managed to reel him in to the rear of the sloop, where Johnson said they dragged him up a ladder.
'They did a great job,' Brickles said. 'They got me right next to the boat.'
When Brickles came aboard, Crooks said, he was bloated, vomiting water and unable to remember his own name.
'I'm proud,' Johnson told The Windsor Star. 'I'm proud our crew handled it so professionally.'
As for Brickles, he told The Star he's fine today, but he'll be wearing his life-jacket when he sails from now on.
Good thinking!
