Last week, we had a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers 2014 draft needs as it relates to the offensive side of the football so this week, we will shift our focus to the defensive side, where I fully expect most of the picks to be used on in May.
Cornerback – Regardless of what ultimately happens with veteran Ike Taylor during the offseason, the Steelers will presumably need to select a cornerback in the first three rounds of the draft and quite possibly a second one later on in the draft. Cortez Allen will start next season and I believe that he will be opposite Taylor with William Gay again serving as the next man up. Curtis Brown, who will be coming off of an ACL injury, hasn't showed anything when given the opportunity and for now, Isaiah Green should be considered as only a fringe roster player. The Steelers must hit with this selection.
Outside Linebacker – There's an outside chance that the Steelers will be able to retain soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Jason Worilds during the offseason. If unable to, it will put an even further strain on the outside linebacker position. Keeping LaMarr Woodley might wind up being a must, because outside of him, Worilds and Jarvis Jones, the Steelers have nothing in the pipeline. Chris Carter is still under contract for 2014, but unfortunately his days appear to be numbered as the light just never has come on with him. Like the cornerback position, this position could certainly use two draft picks dedicated to it along with a handful of undrafted tweener-types to sort through.
Defensive End – Ziggy Hood, Brett Keisel and Al Woods will all become unrestricted free agents in March. Hood may or may not be back and the same goes for Woods, who the team used mostly as a backup nose tackle in 2013. Outside of starter Cameron Heyward, the Steelers only have Nick Williams and Brian Arnfelt waiting in the wings and both should be considered projects for now. As far as prioritizing the selection of a defensive end in the draft goes, it will all depend on whether or not Hood is re-signed.
Free Safety – Odds are good that veteran Ryan Clark won't be back in 2014 and the same goes for Will Allen, who was brought back in the middle of the season following him being let go by the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, Shamarko Thomas will be the next man up, but he is better suited to play more of a strong role than he is a free role when you are talking long term. As for Robert Golden, the jury remains out on him and it didn't help that the team considered Will Allen an immediate need once he was back on the streets.
Inside Linebacker – Whether or not the Steelers draft an inside linebacker likely depends on if they think Sean Spence can fully recover from his knee injury and become the player that they envisioned he would be when they drafted him in 2012. While Vince Williams played a lot more than anyone thought he would as a rookie, he has yet to show that he become a three-down player. Undrafted free agent Terence Garvin can play in space, however, so between he and Williams they might have one inside linebacker that is dependent on down and distance.
The Terry Hawthorne pick was a killer. I know he was only a 5th rounder but we could've had Micah Hyde, Zac Stacy or Jordan Mills. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20
Why wouldn't we explore the option of moving Lamarr inside with Jason on the left outside? He certainly has the girth and tackling abilities. Money aside, please educate me if I'm way off the mark here.
Agree with most of what is mentioned… Defensive backs and LB are the biggest needs..unless Keisel and Hood are both gone, then DL will raise quite a bit in the 'need' category
The defense is a mess with all the unsigned players, some not living up to their draft status, and some with declining skills because of just getting older. So defense has to be the priority in this draft and I'm not sure it can all be solved in one draft unless we trade back to get more picks or through FA. It depends on what happens with Worild as to whether OLB or CB is the biggest need and what rd. you pick them in. I'm thinking 2 CBs/2OLB get drafted in this draft and a FA at Safety. But whatever happens we need to score big at the CB position and if no Worilds then at OLB also.
Good question. He might be too heavy to play on the inside plus his hamstring issues. He can cover in the zone.
Agreed. I also think that we could have waited on a QB instead of using up the #4 pick for that position. Another QB was definitely needed on the roster but with all of the needs we had/have this seemed to be a very questionable position pick.
Levon Kirkland wasn't exactly light!? 😉
Ha Ha or Denard. Please and thank you.
If he even turned into a body like Green. But nothing at all hurts.
Exactly. He's not even a developmental guy now. He's not on the roster. Had to be injury-related/attitude or something. I haven't seen a corner gone that fast since Burnett and at least Lewis was drafted the same year as Burnett
I know it has been posted on this site by many members…but the Baxter release still perplexes me. Here u have an UDFA who appears to have the body type and motor of a Steeler OLB?! They had so many chances to bring him back, but they chose to "sign" ,what I felt, were inferior options at other positions! I'd rather have Baxter than K.Wilson. I have yet to hear anything as to why he was cut. has anyone??
It doesn't have to be a one year fix per say. We would all love to see the defense return to #1 ranking while also being good on third down and generating turnovers but its probably not realistic at this time. The defense just has to be a middle of the road defense that doesn't get gouged on explosive plays. I don't know enough about the safeties in this draft but we need help over the top bad. I could be way off but I feel like more often than not we were getting burned by Ryan Clark and unfortunately Troy blowing assignments. I guess we'll see though. I'm nervous about the Steelers drafting a corner in the first when it seems like it takes so long for corners to learn this system. We have to cut down the Tampa 2 coverages and stick to more man coverage.
Tyler Bray wasn't even drafted and Zac Dysert was a 7th rounder. If they passed on Jones, they could have drafted; Malliciah Goodman-DE, John Simon-OLB, Phillip Thomas-S, Tharold Simon-DB, etc. They sign Gradkowski to be the backup for the next 3yrs, but then waste a 4th on Jones…even after they traded a 2014 3rd for S.Thomas!!!!!!
Levon wanted to play football!
I'm wondering why you think you are supposed "to hear"?
Amen brotha.
Levon was a beast. I really think that Lamarr should be considered for ILB.
If we do go secondary early. I'd go Dennard or Gilbert first at CB. Followed up by S Beauchanon from WSU. Or no later than the 3rd we might be able to steal Ant Harris from UVA. A ballhawk who led the nation in picks and can play either safety spot. Nevertheless, I still think the success of the D is predicated on the amount of pocket pressure you generate. I want an upgrade at NT early surrounded by Mac and Cam at the ends.
The Landry Jones pick still puzzles me, considering where they were in terms of Ben's career (3-5 years left) and the major holes elsewhere. I think it's highly likely that Jones will be gone before Ben. Very strange move.
I think they should bring Keisel back on a vet min contract. He can still play and would help the DE from becoming a major need right now.
I like Woodley inside much more than Jarvis Jones. Maybe Woodley could slim down a tad, and get a bit quicker if they moved him there.
The Steelers' management and coaching have made so many mistake mistakes on the defensive side of the ball over the last 5 to 6 years: poor draft choices galore and not getting players on the field quickly enough to assess their talent. It really has come back to bite them.
They've simply got to start to hit on some defensive players in the draft who can make a significant impact by Years 2 & 3 – otherwise they'll be an 8-8 football for the remainder of Ben's career. And that will be really sad.
Wouldn't hold my breath on a NT. They've invested way too much time and effort into Mac and Woods. They've both played well enough when given opportunities that one will be starting next year. If anything, DE might be addressed from 4-7. But they don't have the luxury of taking a player where there isn't a glaring need.
Just give me a DB with some ball skills. Because if Troy P. doesnt return, that will leave us with zero. Ok. Two-halves. Gay and Allen at least can catch, i think.
Big year for the defense in the 2014 draft, a lot of needs. Need some depth with the D-line and at ILB, not sure with the Worilds/Woodley situation, and trying to replace a aging secondary.
Losing Keenan Lewis to New Orleans was a BIG mistake. Ike can't play the position anymore and we don't have anybody ready to take his place.
For all the folks that want a NT drafted high, here's an argument against that. The 49ers have a dominant defense. They run a 3-4 scheme. Off the top of you head can you name their NT? Not likely. The 49ers do have an elite DE in Justin Smith, but their defense is built, like the Steelers has been, on elite linebackers. Willis, Bowman, and Aldon Smith are all elite linebackers. The Steelers currently have no elite linebackers. You know what the Steelers D had when the went to 3 Super Bowls last decade? Elite linebackers.
THey did play all 3 of them on the field for one game until Lamar got another booboo.
I think Casey Hampton can cover as well as Woodley at this point.
Good point. I'll never forget the one INT he had over his head. He was a freak of nature at that size and athletic ability.
Apperantly a lot of other teams agreed until recently.
People need to realize a few things:
1) This is not an easy fix. You can't just throw a bunch of picks at defense and expect instant results. Young players need time to develop and that is often painful. Take your lumps and let them learn on the field.
2) We need to stop drafting role players. We need some stars. Guys who have the size, speed, and strength to impact the game. Even if we only get two or three of them this draft. Trade up and get the impact players.
3) The first step to recovery is getting our salary cap in order. You simply cannot continue to pay aging/injured vets so much money when they produce like average players. It make take two years but we must clear the cap. We complain about having no talent at CB and OLB. But when we find young talent like Keenan Lewis and Jason Worilds we can't afford to keep them because we have no money.
4) In order to find the next James Harrison or Willie Parker or Brett Keisel, you must get them on the field. Give them snaps. Guys like Arnfelt, N. Williams, Woods, Wallace, Moye, W. Johnson, should not be overlooked just because they are unproven or drafted low. Also, playing them is hugely beneficial to the salary cap.
I hope we pick Daniel McCullers in the 3rd or 4th. Hes raw, but a beast.
Keenan Lewis was nearly impossible to resign. Steelers would've had to blow him away with huge $$$, a luxury they don't have. Plus Lewis, more than anything, wanted badly to play for his hometown Nola Saints.
The bigger cornerback mistake came in the 2011 draft. The Steelers were clearly looking for cornerbacks and so they drafted Curtis Brown in the 3rd, and Cortez Allen in the 4th. While the jury is still out on Cortez, it most certainly is not on a cornerback taken in the 5th round of 2011. He is All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman of Seattle. Dude has 20 interceptions in 3 seasons.
I'm a fan that is frustrated by Woodleys injuries and how much we pay him. At the time he was a beast and we had to pay. A decision has to be made but to say he can't cover and does nothing is a mistake. Remember he missed games and has more sacks than JJ. Sorry I don't see JJ as an OLB in the NFL. I am also saying we need another year for development to see what JJ can do. But just on rushing ability alone JJ is no where near the level as Woodley.
He can't cover.
But other than that i agree. Although you're judging a rookie, on that assessment I disagree.
A lot of my posts about woodley are fueled by frustration, so take them with a grain of salt. But I hope you got a visual of Big snack changing direction in the open field trying to cover Givoanni Bernanrd. hehehe
The Defense is in need o' plenty for sure. I'll map out a game plan that I think would be a good one to follow:
1. Worilds must be signed (as odd as that may have sounded in Sept.). They simply cannot keep Woodley's cap eating contract, lack of production, and penchant for injury. Unless Worilds can get Woodley $ from someone else, it will even be a cap savings (over 3 years) to sign him at market value and cut Woodley June 1.
2. Ike has to take a huge paycut or be cut, plain and simple. He is also a cap eater too at this point. It might be time to do the inevitable, and move on from him in order to give the future a chance. If he stays, it would only be to ease the transition to a new CB, which brings us to…
3. A CB must be drafted one day 1 or day 2. The ideal situation would be to get Darqueze Dennard @15, but as the top CB, he'll likely be gone. If he comes out, I think Ifo Olomu from Oregon would be a good pick there too. Also, Justin Gilbert from Okla St is possible. @15 seems a tad high for him but he has nice play making skills (unlike the current CBs) and is a dynamic KR.
4. Of the FA DLs, Woods is the best choice to bring back. He is both NT/DE capable and can serve as a starter in either position. He offers more upside than Hood when you factor NT into the equation. Ziggy has proven his upside is mediocrity, which I think is below the "standard" for a #1 pick. Only if they are signing him to backup $ should he return. I think he'll go elsewhere though. Keisel would be best served to retire rather than come back and delay the move to a DE of the future. However, he could be on speed dial in there is an injury.
5. If none of the top WRs or CBs are available to pick @15, then DE Stephon Tuitt could be a decent pick. He's a huge, athletic, 34DE that would make for a nice bookend to Heyward in the base and as one of the 2 DL in the sub packages. Forget about the NT Louis Nix chatter, that's for amateurs on draft websites.
6. FS is a bigger concern than many are mentioning. Clark won't and shouldn't return, but I don't know if Shamarko is considered the immediate successor there. I think "headache" is supposed to be Troy's successor. Golden hasn't shown enough or played on D enough to give reason to think he's the FS. Not sure how Ike would fare back there, although at this point, it might be worth a shot while they transition to a young player there…which would mean infusing another draft pick. I like Kenny Ladler from Vandy as a second day pick. They could also go the route of FA and sign a guy like Kendrick Lewis from KC, although he was iffy this year.
7. Forget about ILB, Vince Williams is going to be a good Buck and they can use Garvin/Spence as the hybrid in the sub packages. What they need to do is draft depth at OLB. This would be a day three (probably 5-6) pick, and hopefully they can find a better project than Chris Carter.
1. CB or WR.
2. WR or CB.
4. DE/OLB for OLB depth.
5. Defensive line or Safety depth.
6. RB (Speed/Change-of-pace).
7. Defensive line or DB depth.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers take 2 DE/OLB prospects for depth.
the guy was a beast!
I think most would agree that anything and everything is over reported by the media these days. I didn't say i'm "suppose" to hear why…I just said that I never heard anything as to why.
Respectfully Sumner we'll never know if Lewis could have been signed as the Steelers never even made him an offer. Home towns are important to athletes, but so is money given their short careers.
This wasn't a case like Wallace where the Miami offer was simply outlandish and no team could have matched it. With Lewis, the offer from N.O. wasn't all that great – something like $26 Million over 5 years. The Steelers – had they been looking to the future and released an older, overpriced veteran – could have easily topped the N.O. offer. But they obviously under-evaluated Lewis' talent and didn't feel he would be that great a loss.
Would he have stayed for an extra million a year on top of what New Orleans offered (20% more)? I have no idea, but to not even try to sign him was a major mistake.
I know its not a perfect science when it comes to evaluating talent(look what Harrison went thru w/ being released multiple times), and who am I to say they were wrong. But preseason or not, he stood out and I thought he was worth at least a PS slot! Kion Wilson…really???
until the comp picks, we don't have a third and the NFL might take a late round pick too…just sayin
I read somewhere that Paul Posluszny- jax might get released due to his $9mill+ salary. He'll turn 30 in October. Anyone interested if we could get him for around $4mill per?!?!
Levon use to tackle trees when he was a little kid
3.5 mil tops.
$3 mil tops, and that's 2x what we pay Foote who isn't much younger…
First thing I'd be doing is calling the 49ers asking if they have any interest in the 15th pick (aka Marqise Lee) and trading back to 28-30 and picking up both of their 2nd Rders….then we can debate what to do from there, we have a lot of holes and we could still get a big WR at 28-30…
Posluszny is not a very good linebacker either(IMO)… he puts up good fantasy numbers (which are inflated by his team mainly being down 3 touchdowns).. but thats about it
Swap 15th for 28th (or so) AND pickup both of their 2nd round picks so we'd have 47, plus their two?
I'm all in!
Reality…I think we could make that swap and get an extra 3rd round pick which I would consider, but right now I like Hageman @ 15 and maybe Matthews WR Vandy, or Kyle Fuller CB, VTech @ 47
I'm with you! Look at what Minny got last year. I was silently screaming for the Steelers to do the exact same thing. I know they think they got Jones and that he will end up being one of the 7 special players from last year's draft. Okay, even if you are correct going forward, I still disagree and here's why.
When you give up a 1st rounder, you get about 3 other picks in the first 2 rounds. Thus, if you are as good as you think at drafting talent (The Steelers think they're great), they should take the 3 quality starters that this trade would allow. Seriously, you could end up with a star in here anyway.
1) Get rid of some old guys to get your cap way down.
2) Load up on draft choices, always giving up your No. 1.
3) Repeat this process until you win the division.
I would bet that within 1 or 2 years, they would have the nucleus to compete for championships for the next 7-10 years.
Another reporter said both injuries and attitude. Burnett lasted a full year before being released. He's still playing by the way for the Edmonton Eskimos.
Woodley is not athletic enough to be an Inside LB. If you compare to the past Inside LB (Farrior, Foote, Kendrel Bell, Kirkland, etc.), Woodley is not quick enough to close gap (or even get to the gap) to make stop. Plus, add to the fact that he will be a liability covering either RBs or TEs.
Woodley is a pass rusher who the coaching staff converted into an OLB as he was Defensive End coming out of Michigan.
I would love to see Aron Donald end up on the Steelers
Rick, I definitely see where you're coming from and you make strong points. It's true the Steelers never made an official offer, but I'd like to think that during the season, and certainly after the season, the Steelers were talking to Keenan's agent about a new contract. I think the writing on the wall was there that Lewis no longer wanted to be a Steeler. Perhaps a million more per year could have kept him in Steeler uniform. I don't think so, IMO. But it's hard to say. I do think that New Orleans got a pretty good deal on what looks to be a # 1 cornerback. I still think the big mistake was taking Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen ahead of Richard Sherman in 2011.
I think we easily get a 3rd round or very high 4th round compensary pick. And I think that the NFL won't take any draft picks from the Steelers either. The Ravens and Steelers did not miss the playoffs because of that one play, and that was a huge fine for Tomlin as well. I think enough damage has been done.
David, I agree with a lot of your points. On point # 6, does anyone other than me see a ton of potential in Kurtis Drummond, FS from Michigan State? It's not only Dennard who has made that defense at MSU great. If Drummond could be grabbed with our 3rd round comp pick, I would be very happy. Don't think he'll last that long though. Also, the comment about Louis Nix is spot on. Good one!! However I'm not sold on Stephon Tuitt either, perhaps if he can be drafted in the 2nd round, but not as the 1st pick.
Oh lordy, the Richard Sherman thing is about enough to make a grown man cry. Hes my dream CB. And we took 2 cbs who werent him.
It's borderline Tee Martin over Tom Brady level.
NT is Glenn Dorsey. I knew that off the top of my head BECAUSE he played at a high level for them this season. Size doesn't always matter, Ian Williams broke his ankle week 2, and he was an OK player as well. They also drafted a DT from Alabama in the draft and he has played ok. The 49ers don't have a lot of well known talent at DT but they don't get the credit the deserve.
Too tall. He doesn't play with great leverage and loses ground because of it. I like him, I just wish he would dominate more often instead of making the occasional play, same with Louis Nix.
Also, as others have pointed out on other threads, the league is passing more than ever, and defenses are spending more and more time in nickel.
Haven't heard that Drummond is coming out, but maybe he is. Guys like him and Ladler would be good fits at FS. With Tuitt, he's pretty much a first round lock unless he puts up bad combine numbers.
Perhaps wishful thinking on my part, but yeah, I haven't heard that Drummond is coming out either. Guess I just figured he will, considering all of what MSU accomplished this year, plus he is a fourth year redshirt junior. Again, wishful thinking, but I would be happy to see him playing FS for the Steelers.
Has Anyone else noticed that the steelers rotate between offense and defense in the 1st round since Tomlin came about?
07: Timmons Defense
08: Mendenhall Offense
09: Ziggy Defense
10: Pouncey Offense
11: Heyward Defense
12: DeCastro Offense
13: Jarvis Jones Defense
This tells me they go offense this year, even though I want them to go defense.
Rd 1: Louis Nix III, big time player who breaks the trend
Rd 2: Kyle Fuller, great, physical corner with size the steelers like in their corners
Rd 3: Adrian Hubbard, pass rusher, good in all phases, spectacular in none.
Rd 4: L'damian Washington, tall, fast WR big play ability
Rd 4: Bene Benwikere, CB with good size, plays slot too
Rd 5: DeAndre Coleman, DE/DT, 6'5 300lbs, project, but worth a looksie
Rd 6:
Rd 6: Jacob Pedersen, TE
The narrative about the Steeler defense is that its so complicated that rookies need to learn the system before playing (Polamalu not playing much in his first year is an example). I think the problem with the process is the new collective bargaining agreement benefits teams that play "cheaper" players on their rookie contracts. The Steelers lose out when they only play their young players in the 3rd and 4th years. By the time they become valuable, they leave. Player development cannot last a few years with these rules. We need to develop and play rookies / second year players faster.
Also,, I dont understand this love-fest with Worilds over Woodley. Woodley is clearly overpaid and has been injured the past few years. How many injury free years has Worilds had? If we pay Worilds, dont you think hes likely to maintain his record of injuries as well?? He didnt play in the final game. Last year, he had a series of injuries in training camp, etc.
Kyle Fuller is the ideal Steelers CB.
Thank you! I've been getting blasted on other sites this deal but by the "draft book" they go by to value picks it's pretty close
Thank you! I've been getting blasted on other sites this deal but by the "draft book" they go by to value picks it's pretty close ….then u can get a big wr, an impact OLB, and both CBs we need in the first 2 rds. in whatever order!
fighting to get to 8-8 the last two seasons means less youngsters get to play…
and, if we dont sign Worilds and Woods, were 8-8 at best…
True…I wouldn't call it a lovefest on my part, but I think age has me thinking glass half empty with Woodley, and half full with Worilds…plus his cap hit won't be anywhere near what PIT is paying #56.
Yes, that was in the past…the Steelers have no choice but to get younger in a hurry now, the cap won't allow them to continue to push money into the future with restructures now…only A.Brown and a Ben extension can help Colbert…the 2013 class got on the field, expect the same from the top of the '14 class as well.
Nix would be a natural but NT is now a 2 down player at best with all the nickle and dime they play. Not a terrible pick because McClendon could then play DE.
That said, Imo the DEF is more than one player away from being a championship caliber again…Whereas the OFC just needs that big playmaker…Ebron/Amaro/Benjamin…all 3 work for me…and they will be much better in the RZ and more capable of carrying the team while DEF rebuilds…
I do like a couple of guys on DEF @ 15, Hageman, & Tuitt.
Like your 2nd & 4th rd picks a lot…I'm mocking Fuller to PIT @ 47 as well.
Yup. If you fall in love with a guy at your pick, sure you can take him. Most of the time, it is not worth it. The Steelers need to get younger, and if you have a clue, you have to be able to get quality guys that should be able to start within their first or second year in the first 2 rounds.
Thus, if you can trade away your 1st round pick and end up with at least 3 picks in the first 2 rounds, you should take that trade all day long. I would be ecstatic!
So obviously they should talk with teams that have a crap load of picks or some of the more stupid teams that are likely to over value.
I am convinced this is the way to go.
The best thing the Steelers could do is cut the salary cap sucking vets. They could actually sign a couple free agents with the newly acquired cap space. No need to pay the back end of back loaded salaries. I'd bring in Linval Joseph from the Giants for a look.
Levon covered guys with his own gravitational pull.
I agree with you 100 percent. Great tackler, and effective in off or man coverage.
Jason Worilds was tried and failed on the right side. He's a left side speed rusher. The only one in the league I know of. The best idea, I think would be to move LaMarr to right outside where his power and leverage game may best translate. It'd give O.C.'s a headache for sure, having to change up their standard 3-4 thinking. We should never have pushed James out, is the moral of this story.

League of Legends: Origen, ups and downs
Well we're over halfway through the Summer Split in LCS now and it has been a bit of a bumpy journey for Origen supporters, though it could have been worse.
Origen are now hovering in the top 3 in the Standings alongside H2K and Fnatic. Fnatic are ruling pretty much unopposed and remain undefeated (and looking pretty near undefeatable). If I was in to just supporting winners, I'd have stuck with them, but no, I've gone with a team still finding it's way and improving.
The first few weeks were very strong for Origen. I think they struck a bit lucky here, many of the teams they were facing were still sorting out their own roster changes and getting back into the competitive groove. However teams are now shifting into gear and many are starting to put out good performances and becoming serious challenges.
In fact yesterday, Origen lost to Unicorns of Love, a team they beat pretty convincingly the first time around; in a Split each team plays each other twice. UOL are a strong team, if inconsistent, but nevertheless, Origen has generally shown as a stronger team.
The game was agonising. Origen started off fairly well but then fell behind and seemed to fall apart. One thing Origen are not so good at, is playing from behind. What was interesting though, was how the differences in team composition worked out.
At the start of a game (pick and ban phase), the two teams pick champions. Each team can ban three champions. Each champion has different skills which can either compliment or oppose. A team chooses a composition of champions to work, in-game, in a specific way, for instance to skirmish or to take objectives. The trick is, to play your planned strategy and composition, without revealing it to the opposition to counter who in turn are trying to get their planned composition. At the same time, each team chooses bans to either rule out overpowered champions or champions they don't want to face, or to wreck a perceived strategy.
In last night's game, Origen seemed to make a serious error during this stage. The strongest AD Carries were banned; so was one of the stronger junglers (junglers move about the map helping their team to get ahead). UOL had first pick and picked the best jungler. Origen went on to pick one of the best supports, Alistar (rather all-in but still good) and then they made their first mistake; they picked Jayce for xPeke, signifying a poke composition. Nothing wrong with that BUT it immediately revealed to UOL with four picks to go, exactly what Origen were planning to run. Indeed, UOL, for their next two picks choose Corki, probably the third best ADC and then, boom boom, Braum as support. Now why Braum as support? Well Braum has a skill where he can bring up a shield to block skill shots to protect his team. And what does Jayce do? Well he fires skill shots. Therefore Braum is the perfect counter. Oh dear. And that is how the game worked out in what was probably one of the most frustrating games xPeke has played for a while, countered at every turn. It also didn't help that the ADC Origen chose, Vayne, is shorter ranged so couldn't provide additional poke.
Both teams made strategic errors around the map during the game, but the abiding image I have is of Origen valiantly trying to defend their base; xPeke poking with every shot blocked by Braum, Vayne trying to get in close and failing, Alistair trying to get in close and failing; everyone trying to get in close and failing. Oh yes, and all the while UOL had their own poke champ, Varus, poking from afar, unimpeded. GG.
Elements and the Quest for the Philospher's Stone: Part 2
3 months ago, here, I wrote about Elements in League of Legends, and their struggle to find a new roster during the Spring Split. I said I hoped there wouldn't be any more roster changes and that the new roster would be allowed to settle and find it's feet.
It's now 5 weeks into the Summer Split and Elements have been scooped up, shaken about and then re-assembled with a whole load of new pieces like some dodgy Lego kit. Gone are Shook (jungle), Wickd (top), Krepo (support) and Rekkles (ADC) to be replaced by Dexter, Jwaow, PromisQ and Tabzz respectively. The only constant is Froggen (mid-laner and Team Captain). To be fair Krepo retired; he has moved into casting LCS and is now employed by Riot. Rekkles also wanted to leave. He has returned to his original team, Fnatic, following a rather odd theme of the pre-Summer Split; a kind of 'Return of the Prodgical ADC'. We've had Rekkles going back to Fnatic, Tabzz was the previous ADC for Elements and, a third team SK Gaming, saw the return of their old ADC, CandyPanda.
The big question of course,is, has it worked? Has the Elements organisation found the Philospher's Stone to coalesce this new set of elements into pro-gold? So far, I'm afraid, the answer is 'no'. Elements are currently 2 – 6. According to rumours, they may be looking at a roster change.
(At the time of writing, apparently, Elements haven't spent more than 4 playing weeks with the same roster since becoming Elements at the start of last Split)
Searching for fandom in E-sports
I went to a Sci-Fi convention a few weeks ago. One of the good ones, run by fans themselves and not taken over by corporate interests, Redemption if anyone wants to know. Anyhow, one of the Panels being run caught my interest 'Where does Fandom live?' I wasn't 100% sure what it was about, and when I turned up, neither did the rest of the audience. The panelists weren't too certain either and couldn't remember suggesting anything; many of the ideas for the Panels run at these conventions originate under the influence various forms of intoxication so this wasn't unusual.
After some discussion about what we should discuss, the Chair remarked that she had been a great fan of fanfiction and loved indepth debate and fan theorizing over various television programmes. Her old hang out was Live Journal, however recently Live Journal seemed to have died out and she just couldn't track down where the associated fandom had disappeared to for the new shows that were appearing.
We talked about this and really couldn't come up with any clear answer. Facebook was mentioned, so was reddit and tumblr; tumblr in fact emerged as the strongest contender for a replacement. However, nothing seemed to satisfy. Maddy remembered long debates on LJ and a strong sense of community, reddit was too large and generally unfriendly, tumblr was very visual but it was extremely difficult to carry out any form of detailed group discussion. I advocated for the forum, and although they could fulfil many of Maddy's demands, these days with the many alternatives, forums are hard to grow and maintain.
So, the final conclusion of the Panel was that fandom still exists but it's now scattered and more likely to be found in small disparate groups. There isn't the community and there isn't the depth of discussion. Harsh.
And what have I found so far in e-sports? I've found reddit, I've found Twitter, I've found Twitch chat. The closest thing to an actual community where faces become familiar is Twitch chat linked to a stream, surprising since Twitch chat is notoriously racist, sexist, homophobic, juvenile and shallow. Twitch chat is all of that. However there are means within the medium, through which groups can form and cling together despite the hostility of the general environment. There are mods who moderate the channel chat and can set the general tone. Subscribers pay a monthly fee to subscribe to the channel and they are identified by a subscribers icon. Since it tends to be regulars who both subscribe and visit the chat, people start to identify and recognise one another and in this way a group forms. People then arrange to game together outside of chat and may start to meet and communicate independently in skype or using Twitter. In many ways the chat operates similarly to a community server for a pc game, like TF2 for instance with it's admins and regulars, but instead of playing themselves, everyone is watching someone else (the Streamer) play.
However, for me, the final clincher for an ideal fan community is still missing and that is proper discussion. All the best community servers for a game are linked to a community forum and discussion can take place there; on-server (and Twitch) chat tends to be more conversational. As an average fan, I've found no equivalent where I can endlessly discuss composition, builds and strategy of my favourite teams. There are obviously places where this occurs of course, but in this New World of Fandom, they're hidden away; difficult to find without an in to the group or friendship circle.
Anyway, I have managed to make some links, a tip of the hat here to Cyanide's posse from his Twitch chat, but it has seemed so random. But for small matters of chance via the Stream I might never have come across them.
Elements and the Quest for the Philospher's Stone
Oh well. The end of another week of LCS and a couple more painful losses for Elements. It's hard to believe that the Super Team from last season is now sitting uncomfortably in the lower half of the League Standings.
Of course everyone and his dog has a theory about why it has all gone so wrong for Elements along with a plethora of solutions, some half-baked, some less so. Certainly the game of roster musical chairs they've had recently can't have helped; bench Wickd, bring in Kevin, bench Nyph, bring in Krepo, bench Kevin, bring back Wickd and expecting Krepo to shotcall and turn the team around in a week when he has never really shotcalled before, was, let's face it, a bit of an ask. I don't know how the support staff around the team are fairing either. Nyph has now moved to Head Coach.
Whatever, I think it can be assumed that there is a lot of soul searching going on in the Elements camp at the moment. I hope there won't be any more roster changes, to be honest I think they've run out of possibilities anyway. So, this near the end of the Split, it's time to hunker down and work it through with the components they have and maybe they'll find the Philospher's Stone by the end of it and create pro-gold.
(Philospher's stone: the Philospher's Stone is a legendary substance or coaching technique allegedly capable of turning bronze League players into Challenger or even Pro players. It can only be imagined what effect it might have on LCS teams)
Origen: Following teams, Marilyn Monroe and saxophone players
I said that I'd never follow another team. I said that I'd never be drawn back onto that particular rollercoaster.
I rejoiced as I escaped the clutches of Fnatic, ready to coast through the LCS Spring Split, my emotions untroubled and my heartbeat steady.
But I've done it again.
Origen. I'm sort of into them now. Yes, xPeke of ex-Fnatic, his team. And it's the same. Saxophone players.
You said it Marilyn (sort of).
You're drawn to a team by their flashy roster, exciting plays and Poppy picks and their potential. You just can't stop yourself, you think they're going to be the biggest thing and you come to them. You might try and kid yourself that this time it'll be different; it's an organisation, not a team, you're not going to feel the same about them as you did about the last one. Then before you know it, they're on loosing streaks, dropping players and facing relegation, and you find yourself taken with them through the whole agonising ride.
Yes, you can stick with them and then it just goes on until it all disintegrates. Or you leave and move onto the next team and then 'it's the same thing all over again'.
Word Marilyn.

Apply by sending an email to email@example.com – deadline for applications is 29th December.
Not much time for interested candidates to apply. And it's over Christmas. It's a good move though. This last season in League, the issues of coaching and team infrastructure have become topics of increasing debate in the West. Part of it is through the increasing dominance of Korea and the growth of League in China. Much of this has been put down to the prevalent use of Coaches and the strong supportive infrastructure behind teams.
So teams in the West are finally starting to look at infrastructure. However, it's arguable how serious this is. The application for Fnatic coach seems to be asking for everything; sports psychologist, analyst, coach, it goes on, but with no quoted salary. In my experience of recruiting, the salary offered is a good benchmark for applicants to assess experience wanted and the level of qualification; and a way of us letting them know. They come across as a little confused and vague regarding exactly what they're looking for or would find acceptable. Fnatic are a big name brand so I suspect they'll get away with it and will get someone good, but it still gives some indication as to whereabouts the West, generally, is with respect to Coaching and support staff . Next season, Riot will be providing a partial salary for a team Coach which is a step in the right direction. Some teams have already committed to improving the support to their teams, Team Curse has a Head Coach and Head Analyst working with the Team Manager and TSM has three high profile Coaches, so we're getting there.
But it's not only because infrastructure wins prizes that this increased support is important. It's because many of these players are very young, very inexperienced and the pressures on a pro-player are immense; the pressure of competition and practice and the pressure from fans and the e-sports community. These players need support. The subject of player mental health is just starting to come under discussion. The issues are linked and, as e-sports continues to grow, I think it's about time both started to take increased precedence.
League of Legends LCS: My Life, or 6 months, as a fan
I never thought I'd get into competitive pro League; the LCS (League of Legends Championship Series)
I watch a lot of competitive Team Fortress 2; so I supposed I should have guessed it would become a thing.
At first I wasn't sure. So many of the players looked so young. They seemed so vulnerable. How could I support something like that? It felt somehow dirty. Like the Hunger Games. Or Battle Royale. Children fighting children. It was a first step. The way down the proverbial slippery slope
I could see a picture, unfolding, in my mind:
Riot: Hey let's make Summoners Rift real. The teams can fight each other with real weapons, with blood, gore, children killing each other, dying, bodies ripped apart……crying
Berath's Brain Burps: Rarr. ggwp
No, just a bad thing all round.
However, I slowly began to get to know the teams. Some of the players were actually adults, some even had receding hairlines. The age limit was 17+ so even the youngest looking ones only looked like babies because I'm an old fart.
So yes, I started to follow the matches and I found myself becoming a fan, I think round June or July of this year. This was a first for me and opened up a new world. I've never followed football or rugby or anything similar. I've never followed a band or singer. Now I found myself with a team to support; Fnatic (chosen because the players seemed jolly and they were some of the first ones I managed to identify consistently). Later I found out they actually won games too.
It was an interesting experience being a fan. It wasn't exactly comfortable. It gave me an insight into what it must be like to be football fan. I'd always considered them alien, rooting for a team; rejoicing in their triumphs, sorrowing at their defeats, but now I found myself following Fnatic games anxiously and compulsively on my phone when away from my pc. I'd put time aside to watch matches, I'd plan my evenings. I wanted Fnatic to win. And not just win. To crush. To steamroll. To destroy their opponents, to bathe in their tears, to laugh at their suffering and dance on their graves. As a long time Guardian reader and qualified social worker, I found this disconcerting.
I hadn't realised the proper nature of the player-fan link either. I'd understood how fans idolise; a player favouring a tweet could send one into thrilled ecstasy, no exaggeration. However what I hadn't properly gleaned was how players needed their fans in return; how they enjoyed their gifts and tweets. It stood to reason really, we all need approval and to feel accepted.
Then came the chaos of the off-season and, thank goodness, Fnatic fell apart and so I could get off the emotional rollercoaster that I'd found myself on as a Fnatic supporter (I'm sorry Fnatic, I'm writing about me, not you). I'm not going to be a fan again in the same way. I've done that. Once burnt. I'm just going to follow the players, not a team, and avoid the stress of games and roster changes. I'm looking forward to the LCS Spring Split now. I can just be casually interested in all the teams and in how various players will perform. It should be good.
(and not even start to think about Origen possibly qualifying in the Summer Split)
E-sports, League of Legends; support the team or the player?
In League of Legends, we're currently in the middle of the pre-season, after one competitive Season finishes and before the next one starts sometime in January.
This is the time that, theoretically, players can rest and take time off. However, it's also the time that teams change up their rosters for the forthcoming Season. Since I've only been following competitive League since the summer, this was something I hadn't experienced before. Players I'd grown to like were dropped and teams changed beyond recognition. It was all rather unexpected.
Some of the biggest changes occurred within the team I'd grown to like the most; Fnatic. First, amidst countless rumours and gossip, they lost their prize ADC, Rekkles to their main rival Alliance. Then, following further rumours, they lost their jewel-in-the crown mid-laner xPeke to form his own team Origen, along with their longstanding jungler Cyanide who decided to retire. This left Fnatic with their toplaner, Soaz and support, Yellowstar.
This led to the following question; did I still want to support Fnatic? In mainstream sports, people support the teams without much question; Manchester United, London Irish or the Washington Redskins. They don't stop because they change a player. But in e-sports, support seems to be very player led. There is an argument that this demonstrates the immaturity of the e-sports scene but I don't agree. In mainstream sport, supporters will often support a team because of a link, perhaps geographical, or a family connection. In League some teams have tried to build a national identity, C9 is seen as being 100% NA, up to now Roccat players have all been Polish. However, Roccat demonstrates the problem with this; they've now run out of Polish players at the standard they want, and are currently looking at fielding a Korean player. Establishing a national identity in this way is not possible for most teams. There is also another issue with e-sports teams; they're small. Change three players in a football team, not so noticeable, change three in a League team, that's over half the squad gone and the team is suddenly very different.
So what should an Organisation with a team do? Returning to Fnatic, I'd adopted the team because of the players, the front men. Apart from them, Fnatic as an organisation was just a brand. I'd never seen any management to get interested in, they'd had a coach but he left after Worlds. Fnatic as an organisation meant little. So, I'm following the players, my only remaining interest in Fnatic is supporting those who stayed. From this aspect, it's interesting to look at xPeke's new team/organisation that he's forming. Origen is very much branded with his own identity and that'll continue above and beyond individual players. It's what I'm supporting. This has happened elsewhere. The creator/owner of NA team CLG is Hotshot, an ex-player who streams and has a very high profile and so, whatever happens, can provide continuity for supporters. TSM, also NA, was formed by Regi who played for them before moving into coaching for the team and similarly has a very strong though somewhat controversial profile. Returning to Roccat, their Manager, Flyy, is appearing on various League talkshows and is becoming known, maybe with a similar outcome.
I think it will happen more, now Riot is encouraging teams to have Coaches and allowing them on-stage. Teams will start to be increasingly identifiable beyond just the players. Teams and organisations are starting to realise that having constantly changing rosters and players that rapidly come and go, particularly as the competitive lifetime of a player is generally 2 to 3 years tops, does not lend itself to a stable scene from the perspective of retaining supporters. Raising the profiles of more permanent staff can only help with this as can giving positions e.g. as streamers to ex-players.

It's Sunday; It must be Llama Night!
For over a year now, Who Dares Grins has been running a general Community Gaming Night on Sundays. Overall, this has been a success. Some games draw more people than others, but in the main it's been a good opportunity for community members to try out and play games that aren't TF2, in particular for those who've moved away from it.
Every Monday I put up a thread asking for suggestions for the following Sunday. The only criteria is that they're multiplayer. On Tuesday evening, the suggestions thread is closed and a poll of games is drawn up from that week and from previous weeks along with any wildcards I feel like throwing in. Voting then begins. Any ties result in a vote-off.
I drew up a list of games we've played after our 52nd Llama Night
Battlefield 4
Cards Against Humanity – played 3 times
Chivalry Medieval Warfare – played 4 times
Civ 5
Command & Conquer Red Alert: A Path Beyond
CS:S Gungame
Dota 2 – played twice
Fistful of Frags
Hidden (but servers borked)
Just Cause 2 Multiplayer
Killing Floor – played twice
League of Legends
Left 4 Dead 2 – played 3 times
Mechwarrior Online
Natural Selection 2 – played twice
No More Room in Hell
Open TTD – played 3 times
Planetside 2 – played 3 times
Quake Live – played twice
Starcraft 2
Sven Co-op
TagPro – played 3 times
TF2 MvM
The Ship – played 4 times
Trouble in Terrorist Town – played twice
A good mix.
By the way, why Llama Night you might ask. Well, firstly, one of the community members called Lt Mama came up with the idea and said it was ignored when he did so it's sort of his name and secondly in homage to Jeff Minter, one of the gurus of video gaming. Jeff Minter was designing video games right back in the early 80's, founding the development house Llamasoft. Many of his games featured ruminants; llamas, camels, sheep etc. He was one of gaming's pioneers so the least we could do was name a gaming evening in his honour.
TF2 catch-up
So what's happening in TF2?
Earlier this year, Valve changed the Quickplay system. Before, a player would be given an option to 'Start playing' (Quickplay) after logging in. They would automatically be sent to a random server with, theoretically, a standard configuration. However, the 'theoretically' part showed the problem. Many of these servers were, in fact, commercially run and had game-changing modifications for subscribers ranging from extra ammo to invulnerability and the ability to fly.
This was generally considered bad.
Valve decided to change this. They made it so Quickplay automatically sent players to offical Valve servers only. There was an option to select community servers (again with a standard configuration) but this was off by default. It soon became apparent that most players didn't bother to select. Community servers found their Quickplay traffic dropping (you can get plugins that indicate the method a player has connected to a server).
I've seen it myself. Many of the servers I play on are far emptier, some rarely fill up at all now.
So what did this mean for Who Dare Grins? We always relied a bit on Quickplay traffic to keep us ticking over during a session. Now, we could stay in Quickplay, but we'd need to remove our Class Restrictions (avoiding no-fun teams of 7 snipers and 4 spies) and wouldn't be able to run custom maps (once we got round to installing them) neither of which were included in the standard configuration. We decided to leave Quickplay and rely on our community and use of the original TF2 server browser, a clunky thing but which gave more search options. The overall reduction in Quickplay traffic to Community servers would mean we wouldn't loose much.
This meant that community building for the server has become even more important. As part of this, I do a lot of posting on forums, advertising the server, usually in response to requests for server recommendations. After every session, players who seem likeable are invited into our Steam Community Group. On the server we try to be as welcoming as possible. Gradually we're building up.
Our two TF2 nights are going well. The server fills up from about 8ish for a couple of hours, sometimes longer. We've a good selection of regulars. We get a sprinkling of newcomers too. Some of them even come back a second time; a positive vote there for the server, I think.
Outside this, Comp is quiet. There are a few people involved in various teams that are about. I was asked to be Demoman in one which was nice but I had to say no. I still think being involved in comp is incompatible with running a Community and a community server. We have three community nights now (the TF2 evenings and a general gaming one) and I like to be around as one of the Clan Leaders and Server Admins. It's also good to have tagged players on the server, helping to mark it out as a community server and not just a collection of randoms to a new player.
Finally, we're preparing for i52 in August. It's a new venue at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry. There are issues regarding accommodation; most is not on-site and requires transport. However the venue is said to be superior to Telford. To be honest, I'd rather have a handy hotel room but we'll see if they'll put on a shuttle bus which they did for the Spring LAN. Again TF2 will have NA and Australian teams there; again the community has been fundraising to help get them there.

What Does it Take?
Posted May 29, 2013
What does it take for Brewer Management to realize that the Coaching staff is the problem with the Milwaukee Brewers? They have had the talent pre during and post injuries. What they lack is a discipline which reflects directly on the Manager and Coaches. How any manager can continue to start a second baseman who is batting .170 on a team that already struggles to score runs is inexcusable. Time to cut bait before the All-Star Break.

1. Prepare barbecue sauce: In 4-quart saucepan, combine ketchup, cider, Worcestershire, molasses, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, black pepper, and red pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare ribs: In small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and ground red pepper. Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Sprinkle on both sides with spice mixture. Let stand 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare grill.
4. Place 28" by 12" sheet of heavy-duty foil on surface. Place 1 rack of ribs in center of foil. Place 2 ice cubes under ribs. Bring long sides of foil up and fold several times to seal well. Fold in ends to seal tightly. Repeat with three more sheets of foil, 6 ice cubes, and remaining 3 racks of ribs.
5. Place foil packets on grill rack over medium heat. Cover and cook ribs over medium heat 1 hour, carefully turning packets over once with tongs. With kitchen scissors, cut an X in top of each foil packet to release steam; carefully peel back foil. Remove ribs and place directly on grill. Brush ribs with some sauce; cook, brushing and turning frequently, 10 minutes longer. Serve with remaining sauce on the side.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 15 (HealthDay News) -- In a rare case, a man living in Germany who had both leukemia and AIDS no longer has any detectable HIV cells in his blood following a stem cell transplant for his leukemia three years ago.
But experts were quick to caution that the case does not have practical implications for the treatment of AIDS worldwide.
As it turns out, the donor for that transplant carried a rare mutation in a gene that increases immunity against the most common form of HIV. First reported in 2009, this follow-up study, published online in the journal Blood, confirms that the recipient patient is still free of both leukemia and HIV three years after the transplant.
But one expert issued strong words of caution in interpreting the finding.
"Our phones have been ringing off the hook," said Dr. Margaret Fischl, director of the AIDS clinical research unit at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "We are having patients calling us and asking if they can stop their antiretroviral therapy -- and the answer is uncategorically no."
The theory is that if you could wipe out every infected cell you could cure HIV, Fischl said, but this is a unique case.
The patient had intense chemotherapy and radiation, then relapsed and was given a second transplant from the same donor. The donor was unique in that he had a gene that could fight the most common form of HIV. This mutation is seen in about one in every million people, Fischl explained.
"How much did a second transplant contribute to the slow takeover of the donor cells that are resistant to one form of HIV? The extent that that happened is remarkable," she said.
However, this patient also was infected with another form of HIV as well, Fischl said. "What they are hoping is that the chemotherapy and radiation therapy wiped out that form, too. Could that patient still reboun

I have various google maps markers that are created in a loop and are output like below:
var marker1=new google.maps.Marker({position:new google.maps.LatLng(coordinates),map:map,title:'example'});google.maps.event.addListener(marker1,'click',function(){infwind(marker1,'
some info
')});
since it is being declared with "var" doesn't this make it a variable with global scope?
I need to access all the info in the various marker variables for different purposes but I am having trouble getting the info I need.
I am very new to google maps (as in day one)
When I try:
I get an error that marker1 is not defined. How can I access these markers? I assume I either have to do something like google.maps.someotherstuff or these variables are simply not as global as I think.

Mozilla Responds To Firefox User Backlash Over Pocket Integration 351 351
An anonymous reader writes: Last week, Mozilla updated Firefox to add Pocket integration — software that lets you save web articles to read later. Over the weekend, some Firefox users began to voice their displeasure over the move on public forums like Bugzilla, Google Groups, and Hacker News. The complaints center around Pocket being a proprietary third-party service, which already exists as an add-on, and is not a required component for a browser. Integrating Pocket directly into Firefox means it cannot be removed, only disabled. In response, Mozilla has released a statement saying users like the integration and the integration code is open source.

First thing i can think of was Napster!
First song i got from it was Britney Spears - Born to Make you Happy. Took about 40 minutes to download
I soon removed it as i didn't know much and thought i'd get found out. Also i was only allowed an hour a night as it was expensive to use the Internet back then.

3DFX Voodoo drivers.
I remember I purchased my first discreet card, a Diamond riva or SIS chip I think? I couldn't run Half Life nor much of anything else. So I got the Voodoo card but it ran like crap. Manual said I may need to update the drivers via internet so that was actually the only reason I initially got it. I watched ZDTV at the time so that was the first website I went to after I got the driver. Game did run better but it took a few years until hardware got good enough to run most games ok at least. I also remember all the ones with OpenGL option ran terrible. Glide was where it was at. I had AOL, didn't take me long to hook up with some local girls on there and loved the internet ever since, was easier than going to the bar.
Posted 15 October 2013 - 21:57
I discovered the internet relatively late. My first touch to it wasn't even at my home. I remember that I searched for pictures and I was very fascinated when the search engine came up with relevant results.
Then I had this dial-up connection installed at home that I used only occasionally for school stuff as it had this per-second fee that was super expensive.
Posted 15 October 2013 - 22:15
The first time I used and saw the internet was through a friend that had America On Line around probably 1994 and the very first thing I remember doing was getting into an AOL chat room and chatting with someone in Germany who I didn't have the slightest clue who they were, I was amazed at how that instant conversation was happening so easily and between me and a person in the other side of the world for free, it was an incredible experience, I was hooked! a week later I bought my first computer at Circuit City for $300 lol it was a Pavilion by Hewlett Packard :-)

1954 Ray Schalk Single Signed Baseball. When Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams failed to throw the pitches he called for in the 1919 World Series, Schalk was convinced that something more than poor control was at the heart of the matter. The Chicago catcher, believed by many to be the greatest defensive backstop of his day, remained honest through those dark Black Sox days, paving his way to an eventual Hall of Fame plaque in the process. Here we find a rare single from the 1955 inductee, inscribed on the sweet spot "With Kindest Regards, Ray 'Cracker' Schalk." An unknown hand has penned "1954" on the northern panel just above the stitching. All ink is 8/10 or better, and the "Official League" ball remains clean and white. Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.

"large circles around the property"
Sprinkler Buddy has a 7" diameter and much of that is taken up by the sprinkler head when installed. It's hardly noticeable unless one went hunting for them. From a very short distance away, one would never know they were in the lawn.
Kinda like a golf ball hiding in the short rough, you often wouldn't know it was there unless you hit it and saw it go in that general area. Once you get a yard or two from it that's when you know exactly where it's at. Sprinkler Buddy isn't a big red flag shouting here I am, one has to be looking for them to avoid them and the sprinkler head it's indicating.
As a professional, I only put them on the troubled sprinkler heads in my own lawn accounts. Most, I agree don't need them on all sprinkler heads. We all know which ones do though as we bust them periodically over time with the mower tires.
With that said, many still choose to put them on most of their sprinkler heads themselves because they want to know where they all are, it gives them peace of mind.
I think it boils down to this for each individual that decides to use them or not.
What's uglier, the repair bill or the little hardly visible shallow depression around the sprinkler head indicating them to avoid the ugly repair bill. That's also just my opinion.

Events: Where to Shop this Weekend
By Lorraine Sanders on December 12, 2008 9:47 AM
The weekend is nearly upon us - and you know what that means: it's time to get out and about. Later today, unwind from the workday at the Joe's Jeans Grand Opening cocktail party, which welcomes the premium denim label known for superior fit to Union Square.
Downtown Store Openings: Bacca da Silva, Joe's Jeans and Herve Leger
By Nerissa Pacio on December 05, 2008 2:33 PM
If you're anything like us, you're looking at the limp economy as a glass half full instead of one that's half empty. It just means fewer shoppers to compete with over a greater number of post-Thanksgiving day sales, no? If your inner shopping optimist draws you to downtown to sniff out the Black Friday deals, we also recommend checking out a few new shops that have recently opened in this ever-changing shopping district.
