Eagles OG Evan Mathis Speaks On His Decision to Return to Philadelphia: "This Is the Best O-Line I've Ever Played With"
Originally written on Philly Sports Muse | Last updated 11/13/14
Evan Mathis all dressed up for his big day with the media. Image via CSNPhilly Newly re-signed OG Evan Mathis spoke yesterday for the first time about his new $25.5 million/5 year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. Mathis revealed that he and GM Howie Roseman agreed that Mathis would test the waters of free agency in order to figure out a pricetag to place on the self-described journeyman. So, thanks for that, Baltimore. Though Mathis was complimentary of the Ravens organization, he simply found it too difficult to leave the comforts of Philadelphia, now his home, the talents of his teammate, and of course, offensive line coach Howard Mudd. "I knew the family atmosphere, the talent on the team, the talent on the coaching staff and the front office, and the direction the organization was headed. I knew exactly what was here." Mathis also liked the Eagles' to hang on to and take care of proven talent like fellow 0-lineman Todd Herremans, DE Trent Cole, and WR DeSean Jackson. "Absolu...

Just trying to drive traffic to ubnt? Why not ask a question here if you want a response here?
said by WHT :The same size an adjustable wrench fits.
Yeah, sorry, it's a silly question. Your going to need to go to the store to get the wrench any way. Just take the thing with you and size it.Pliers, crescent wrench, even larger needle nose pliers work just fine. It's not like you want to (really) torque it down in the first place.

States give Hollywood a fortune in breaks
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Many states that are cutting spending on schools, roads and other basics have been lavishing hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives on Hollywood studios to lure TV and movie productions -- this, despite scant evidence that taxpayers come out ahead on such deals.

Side Wall Venting Help
We have a basement with a open face fireplace. It has a vent pipe out the top, takes a 90 out the wall of the basement about 18 inches from the ceiling and almost 2 feet off ground outside. The previous owners had this set up.
I lit a fire the other day and a great deal of smoke back drafted into the basement.
How do I stop this?
Someone suggested a fan in the pipe to make it suck the smoke up better.
Please help.
Quick sketch of the set up.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Sorry to deliver bad news, but... The setup as shown in your sketch and description will never work properly. Much more importantly, it is unsafe and doubtless in violation of any fire/building codes in your area. It's bad enough so that your insurance is also in question.
Under the best of circumstances it's hard to get basement wood burning stoves or fireplaces to draw well. It's impossible with this setup.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel At Station Square
Great hotel!
We spent 2 nights at the Sheraton Station Square hotel in May 2005. The location is excellent, right along the river with a great view of downtown Pittsburgh. The Monangahela Incline is right there. Bus and subway service are nearby, as well as the restaurants and shops at Station Square. Our seventh-floor room was large. We used the pool/health club facilities, which were clean and well-kept. The Lobby Bar was also a very nice place for a drink.
Awesome Hotel
Just returned... this hotel is just beautiful. The rooms are awesome and bed is very comfortable. We had 3 days of meetings and they catered all the food. The quality of the catering was great, the food was very good.
This is the place to stay in Pittsburgh!
Great hotel!
Recently in Pittsburgh, our stay at the Sheraton Station Square was better than we expected. The rooms were very nice with very comfortable beds & pillows. We had a great view of the river. The hotel bar was very nice as was the restaurant. This hotel is in a great location with lots of stores, restaurants & bars within walking distance. We came for the Steeler game & had a great time. The Sheraton van was always ready to take us into the city whenever we wanted. All in all, great hotel.
Great hotel
We stayed at the Sheraton Station Square in Sept for a reunion. Had a great room with a beautiful view. Even though there was rain and flooding in the area we felt totally safe in the hotel. Staff was very friendly and assuring. Reunion was great and the food was wonderful! Bar was great too. Close to alot of shopping and reataurants. Would definately stay there again!
Great hotel
its is a great hotel for bussiness trips of just a family vaction me and my friend stayed there for 2 weeks on a bussiness trip.and we really enjoyed it the tub is great along with the pool.and suanna in the womens and mens locker rooms the coffie shop is great and the resrunt down stairs is the best and has the best food
It was ok
The room was okay, but I expected better. I unfortunately did not receive a room with a view and I paid $32.00 to park for two days. Some of the staff members were nice, some were rude. I think you could do better.
Staying at the Sheraton at Station Square in Pittsburgh was a great time. Our room was big, nicely decorated and the staff was so helpful. We could walk to the Incline for the best view of Pittsburgh, we could walk to duck tours, boats that had all kids of cruises, boats that took you to PNC ballpark for a baseball game. Within two blocks of the hotel you could dine at the Grand Concourse(one of Pittsburgh's best restaurant for seafood and steaks and desserts) Bucca de Beppa for family style dinners, and Hard Rock for the kids. They have a water ballet show every 20 minutes that is really neat at night with color lights. Numerous other Pittsburgh tours and plenty of bars and other eateries for the older crowd at night are located there. We parked our car on Thurs afternoon and didn't go back to it until Monday at noon when we left. It was so nice to be able to see all of Pittsburgh without getting into our car.
Great location in Pittsburgh
We stayed at the Sheraton Station Square on 3/26/04. the hotel is really nice, but the best part is the location right in Station Square, convenient to several eateries and shops. Although I didn't pay extra for a view, we had an excellent view of the river, station square and the city facing north. The only complaint I have is the water pressure in the bathroom is horrible. The pool area is really nice, although we didn't use it. Parking was $16 for 24 hours in the lot next to the hotel. Not cheap, but if you stay anywhere in the city, you'll have to pay for parking. We will stay again next time we are in Pittsburgh.
Not a bad place to stay in the Pitt
Stayed at the Sheraton Station Square for the good part of a month. On the whole, I would say it is a pretty good choice if you have to get stuck staying in the Pitt. I stayed in both a Sweet Sleeper room on the SPG floor (8th) facing the mountain and in a regular room facing the atrium. The Sweet Sleeper rooms are a little bigger with nicer desks and a nicer bathroom. Also, free water was replenished each day while in the regular room no water was to be found. SPG room looked newer but i think it was in the newer part of the building that was added on more recently. Regular room had a little bit of a rundown bathroom but still, room was nice. In addition, I think I received nightly turn down service with a chocalate as part of being recognized as SPG Gold as my coworker never received this treatment and they are not Gold.
Some people complain about the train that runs continually throughout the day and night. I'm a pretty deep sleeper so it never bugged me.
There is one that runs on either side of the hotel so city/mountain view doesn't really matter.
As SPG Gold, had access to club level lounge. Nice Continental in the morning with appetizers and free wine in the evening. They also give out free cookies and milk until 10:45 sun-thurs.
The Station Square has some restaurants and bars around there but no action during the weeknights. Fri/Sat is a different story and in addition, the Southside is about 2 miles down the road and they have a free shuttle that will take you down there.
Comfortable rooms, beautiful views
We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms with a river/city view.
Paying the extra dollars for a river view was worth every penny! Not only did we have an incredible view of the city from our huge floor-to-ceiling windows, but we had fun watching the Gateway Clipper fleet coming and going from their dock below us. True, there are train tracks running along the river... but we never heard the trains and slept soundly in an extremely comfortable bed. The room was very tastefully decorated and more than satisfactory; in fact, our only problem with the room was that for some reason there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom so it got a bit steamy in there when we showered. Front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. We called housekeeping for extra pillows and they were knocking at our door within minutes. The pool / whirlpool area was very nice, and the bar in the lobby was a great place to relax with a drink and do some people watching. If you're in town over Thanksgiving, the Sheraton's Thanksgiving Buffet Dinner is just wonderful. We'd stay here again without question.

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart started his piece on the South Carolina GOP presidential debate by noting that it was co-sponsored by "Fox News and the Republican Party." "Now wait a minute," he said, "isn't that the same thing?"
Indeed, it is. Fox News is a specific flavor of Republican thought – that of Roger Ailes. It is axiomatic in its support of the president, and it tailors the news to help him at every turn. So Fox watchers have noticed that in the world of Fox News, the U.S. attorneys scandal – the most severe scandal to hit the Justice Department in its entire history – hardly even exists, accounting for roughly 2% of coverage (about a quarter the time allocated by MSNBC, for instance). But still more telling is Fox's Iraq War coverage. During the first two years of the war, Fox provided saturation coverage of the war – through it was mostly from talking heads on the ground in New York, as opposed to reporters in the field, and most of it was opinion journalism rather than reporting.
Today, with nearly 70% of the U.S. public viewing the Iraq War as a mistake, the Fox reaction is to play down its coverage. In the first three months of 2007, Fox News allocated 15% of its coverage to Iraq War developments – which is about half the allocation of MSNBC. Moreover, the grimmer the situation becomes, the less time Fox allocates to it. Fox News is sticking to a fixed set of principles. George Orwell's principles.

It is this commitment to continue maintaining our trees that differentiates us from so many other one-off volunteer planting efforts. We will replant trees in the first year or so if the site is suitable but we do not guarantee to always replace seedlings or tags. The reality is that for the bulk of our plantings, apart from the few in formal park settings, we will need to continue with annual inspections, releasing and in future, light well cutting, for 10 years or so. In the enthusiasm of our early years volunteers planted around 3000 trees each year – 6500 in one memorable year. We really did have, as Patron Dame Cath Tizard described it, `a tiger by the tail'. The Trust has made a conscious decision to ease back to planting around 1500 to 2000 annually, so we can focus on maintaining the trees already in the ground. Even at a reduced planting rate, we will need to care for around 25,000 trees a year potentially for the next five years, dropping to about 17,000 after that.

Although we have not been able to undertake a second audit, we are confident that we have more than maintained these initial standards and our emphasis on regular site maintenance will ensure a high rate of survival and healthy trees. David Bergin said in his report: `The success of community inspired and run initiatives to achieve goals particularly in the natural albeit often degraded local environment is increasing and is in contrast to failures of programmes in the past that have not had a large community involvement. The challenge is now for resource managing authorities and research providers to work along side community groups in partnership to contribute to the success of such initiatives so that programmes become more effective in achieving environmental and social goals.' We have certainly been fortunate in our partnership with DOC, whose Hauraki Area staff and particularly area manager John Gaukrodger have not only supported us as far as they can within their limited financial resources, but more importantly with encouragement and advice. With a Memorandum of Understanding about to be signed we are confident our kauri will enjoy the guardianship of DOC into the future. It is probably fitting that the last word should come from DOC's John Gaukrodger, who when asked once what he felt was the value of the project pointed out that, although kauri are not a threatened species on the peninsula, Kauri 2000 was contributing by re- establishing kauri in areas that had been so heavily logged and burned that kauri would take decades to come back – if ever. More importantly, he said, Kauri 2000 sends a powerful environmental message, that individuals in a community CAN make a difference. Before and after – our Waitaia site in 2001, 2005 and today.

[edit] The School
Eckerd College, formerly Florida Presbyterian College, is a private 4-year liberal arts college at the southernmost tip of St. Petersburg, Florida, in the Tampa Bay. It serves roughly 1750 traditional students, as well as a similar quantity of non-traditional students through its Program for Experienced Learners (PEL) program.
Florida Presbyterian College was founded after World War II as part of the growth of post-secondary education in response to returning GIs seeking college education. The United Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Prebysterian Church (US) worked together to found the college, getting a charter granted by the Florida legislature in 1958 and opening in 1960.
In 1971, Jack Eckerd donated $12.5 million to the college, the largest gift the college had received to date. Mr. Eckerd's contribution ensured the survival of college. In 1972, the board of trustees changed the name of the college to Eckerd College in recognition and gratitude of Mr. Eckerd's support.

Oral presentation
The work derives a neural population model, which considers excitatory and inhibitory synapses as well as excitatory and inhibitory neurons. Then the spatio-temporal dynamics of the neural population is studied subject to the increase of the inhibitory synaptic decay rate. This study is motivated by the effect of the anaesthetic propofol, which increases the inhibitory synaptic decay rate with increased blood concentration and may yield loss of consciousness. We find regimes of stationary multistability and stability criteria for the stationary states. It turns out that the increase and subsequent decrease of propofol yields saddle-node bifurcations in a hysteresis loop.

"Today's ruling class…" says Angelo Codevilla of Boston University, "was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas…[deas that] gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits." He goes further and says, "These [ideas] amount to a social canon of judgments with the Progressives themselves serving as God]" for "while most Americans pray to the God 'who created and doth sustain us,' our ruling class prays to itself as 'saviors of the planet' and improvers of humanity…" Progressives alone, says Codevilla, have superior insight and only they "know what's best for the American people" whom they view as "irritable children who must learn their place."
I couldn't agree more! In the minds of today's ruling class (those in seats of power in Washington DC and in universities across the land), progressivism has become the pretext and pretention for the rule of law. In such a world, classical liberalism (i.e., personal freedom) no longer matters. The direction of the "smarter ones"the elitesecomes our moral barometer. It is the "wisdom" of John Dewey, John Paul Stevens, and Paul Krugman that informs us of right and wrong. It is this "ruling class" that tells us of the difference between good and evil. It is under their guidance that we are told what marriage is or isn't. It is at their lectern and by their superior intellect that we learn who should live and who shouldn't. It is at their judicial bench that we hope for justice and accept judgment. It is by their hand that we are policed and "protected."
If they "are the ones we are waiting for and they are the change that we seek," Lord help us.

Anti-LGBT Conference Continues Close Ties To Putin Despite Mounting International Tensions
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
WASHINGTON – The World Congress of Families is moving full speed ahead with plans to hold an international anti-LGBT conference at the Kremlin in Moscow this fall, despite the growing international crisis in Ukraine and the withdrawal of key conference partner Concerned Women for America over concerns that holding the conference would give the appearance of "giving aid and comfort to Vladimir Putin." Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Director of Global Engagement Ty Cobb issued the following statement:
"If a group like Concerned Women for America recognizes the recklessness of providing support for the Putin regime, then it's incredible other anti-LGBT groups would not follow suit. President Putin has trampled the rights of its LGBT citizens at home and is embroiled in an international crisis over Ukraine. The other partners in the World Congress of Families must now follow suit and withdraw from this event. HRC calls on the National Organization for Marriage, Focus on the Family and the other American partners of this conference to renounce their ties to the Putin regime and cancel their participation in the World Congress of Families."
The World Congress of Families brings together thousands of anti-LGBT activists from around the world to plot their next moves to block equality around the world. The leadership of this organization is dominated by Americans who have lavished praise on the Putin regime for their crackdown on LGBT rights and freedom of expression.
More information on the WCF and their American partners is available here.
The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

(AP) An expert told a commission looking into the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre in Connecticut on Friday that there is no data linking autism with increased violent criminal behavior. Documents recently released by the state police show a Yale professor had diagnosed Lanza in 2006 with profound autism spectrum disorder, "with rigidity, isolation, and a lack of comprehension of ordinary social interaction and communications," while also displaying symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission is considering whether Connecticut's mental health programs, particularly in the schools, are adequate, among other things.
Hartford Superior Court Judge Kevin Dubay summarily rejected the state's request January 16 for a lengthy postponement of an education-funding lawsuit over whether the state is meeting its constitutional responsibility of providing a "suitable education" for every child in Connecticut.
The attorney general's office had asked the judge to reschedule a trial now set for July 1 until October 2015, a move that the plaintiffs, the Connecticut Coalition for Justice in Education Funding, claimed was intended to delay the proceedings until after the 2014 gubernatorial election.
The Newtown Board of Education unanimously voted to name Joseph Erardi, Jr, as the school district's new superintendent during a special meeting held on Friday, January 17. According to a press release from the school board, read by BOE Vice Chair Laura Roche during the meeting, it is anticipated that Dr Erardi will begin his new position as early as the spring. Dr Erardi has been the superintendent in Southington for the past eight years, according to the release, and has served as a superintendent in three districts, including Southington, for 14 years.
With a short list of topics to run past the Board of Finance Monday evening, First Selectman Pat Llodra started with the wintry weather. Joking that "we want a mild winter, on Friday through Monday," she had her eye on the town's recent snow removal costs. Weekend pay is time and a half on Saturdays, and double time on Sundays. She told the Board of Finance that the town was already experiencing a drain on its budget this winter season. The board on January 13 also covered potential sewer extensions in Hawleyville, including the costs associated with that and how it would affect land with development potential within the Hawleyville district.
A public informational meeting has been scheduled by the State Department of Transportation for Tuesday, February 11, on its plans to replace an antiquated bridge and to alleviate a traffic bottleneck on the section of Sugar Street just west of its signalized intersection with Main Street, South Main Street, and Glover Avenue. The session is scheduled for 7 pm at Newtown Municipal Center. As part of the Sugar Street improvement project, a 14-foot-long Sugar Street bridge, which carries that road over an unnamed stream near Elm Drive, will be widened from its current width of 28 feet to 43 feet. The bridge, which was built in 1929, carries approximately 8,800 vehicles daily. That bridge, which becomes a traffic bottleneck during the morning and evening rush periods, currently has one eastbound lane and one westbound lane. The bridge replacement project will result in two eastbound lanes and one westbound lane on the bridge. One of those two eastbound lanes on the bridge will be a "left-turn-only" lane, thus alleviating the traffic bottleneck there.
A charity formed after the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School has been unable to account for $73,000 it raised through marathon running, one of its co-founders said January 10. The FBI, the attorneys general in two states, and the IRS are all looking for the co-founder of an organization that raised funds for those affected by 12/14. Ryan Graney, of Nashville, Tenn., said only $30,000 of the $103,000 taken in by the 26.4.26 Foundation was used for the organization's purpose. That money was presented last January by co-founder Robbie Bruce to the nonprofit NYA Sports & Fitness Center in Newtown. Mr Bruce has since disappeared, as has another $73,000 received by the foundation through donations and other fundraising.
UPDATE: This workshop has been postponed to Thursday, January 23, due to snow. || For residents interested in learning more about their home's solar energy potential, a final workshop for the Solarize Newtown initiative will be offered Tuesday, January 21, from 6 to 8 pm, at the Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue main station. The deadline to join the Solarize Newtown program, which makes the solar process easier and more affordable for homeowners, is February 11.
Charged in September 2013 to investigate whether or not a permanent memorial to 12/14 is appropriate for the community, and if so, what that might look like, the Permanent Memorial Commission of 12 members appointed by First Selectman Pat Llodra has been getting to know one another, defining its mission, and otherwise preparing to take on what could be a daunting task, Permanent Memorial Commission Chairman Kyle Lyddy said this week.
The committee seems to be in agreement that such a memorial is fitting and that it is an action with which to move forward. Conversations at the most recent meeting, Thursday, January 9, have led to planning "what this could be," Mr Lyddy said. The committee is also charged with determining where in the community a permanent memorial might be located, as well as how to fund and maintain any memorial.
Scott Lavelle, property manager for Divivo-Vona, LLC, confirmed Thursday morning, January 16, that an eviction is proceeding against Make A Home Foundation, located at 40 High Bridge Road in Newtown. Make A Home Foundation was established in Sandy Hook in 2010, and originally operated out of offices at 87 Church Hill Road. Its stated intention at that time was to provide free furniture, appliances, clothing, and other items to veterans, families, and other individuals who are homeless, either due to temporary circumstances or those problems that are ongoing. Founders Anita Pettengill and Dan Telesco moved the charity business to the 56,000 square foot High Bridge site in 2011. In June 2012, Ms Pettengill told The Newtown Bee, "Mario Divivo, the owner of the warehouse, has provided the warehouse to us, rent free, for one year. But in August, we will have to start paying rent." The eviction is due to nonpayment of rent on the space for the past year and a half, said Mr Lavelle.
At their January 7 meeting, Police Commission members accepted the retirement of sergeants Darlene Froehlich and John Cole. In her letter of resignation, Sgt Froehlich cited a "cruel work environment" and "hatred" within the department as prompting her decision to retire.
Ms Froehlich, 55, joined the police department in July 1984. Mr Cole, 52, joined the organization in January 1989. The full-pension vesting period for town police officers is 25 years.
In a December 26 e-mail to Carole Ross, the town's human resources director, Ms Froehlich retired from the police department, effective January 6.

What about church? Does the American Psychological Association recommend a change?
Does the APA want gays to make a church change?

Our Little Black Hobble Skirt is the perfect companion to your RoSa Shoes High Stilettos. Tight skirts and pointed shoes with stiletto heels are made for one another, as our photo below perfectly illustrates. See how the rear curve of the shoe echoes the rear curve of the wearer in her tight skirt?
However, genuine Hobble Skirts, with no unattractive walking splits or vents to spoil the line, narrow and restricting below the knee, are difficult to find in mainstream shops because, these days, not everyone has the patience to wear them. It seemed logical to produce our own collection of ultra-tight skirts, made to our customers' own measurements for maximum hobble effect.
Hobble Skirts are, as you would expect, more demanding to wear than ordinary straight "pencil skirts". Because the movement of your legs is limited, you walk from the knee, using a more exaggerated hip motion. Practice is needed!
The restriction of a tight skirt feels less of a hindrance when you wear very high heels because they shorten the stride. Tight skirts and high stiletto heels were originally designed to work together. When you try on your Hobble Skirt, even before putting on your shoes, you'll instinctively walk around on tiptoe, as if you are wearing high stiletto heels. It feels natural.
[ Note about the correct use of the word "hobble" in the context of the Hobble Skirt - a woman in a Hobble Skirt does NOT hobble (walk with a limp). To say this would be insulting and inaccurate. It is, however, correct to say that her skirt hobbles her, that she is hobbled by her skirt, or that her skirt is so narrow that it acts as a hobble. It's the skirt which does the hobbling - not the wearer! There is a suggestion that the original garment was first described by a fashion commentator as a Hobbled Skirt (a skirt whose fullness is gathered in by a belt or band of material incorporated into the design) - not a Hobble Skirt at all!]
A woman who chooses to wear the tightest possible Hobble Skirt to enhance her figure and emphasize her movement is a glorious sight. As she enters a room, her skirt pulling taut around her legs at every shortened step, she knows she cannot fail to be the centre of attention. This empowers her, even though her skirt hampers her ability to walk.
Women wear Hobble Skirts for a variety of reasons - to make themselves feel wonderful, to attract male attention, to dumbfound less adventurous rivals, to create controversy, to laugh in the face of ridicule, to antagonize those unfortunate members of the "fashion police" who express outrage at any hint of impracticality or eroticism in women's clothing - and so on. In short, the Hobble Skirt makes a statement.
In the world of entertainment, the slow, seductive gait imposed by a Hobble Skirt means that its wearer remains the focus of an audience's attention (or on camera) that little bit longer - one very good reason why a performer, or recipient of a showbusiness award, will often choose to wear a gown with a skirt which severely hobbles her, delaying her arrival centre-stage, prolonging the applause as she leaves....and occasionally putting her in the media spotlight if her skirt is so tight that her devastating walk causes controversy in the newspapers the following day.
Recently, female celebrities (Beyonce and Zahia Dehar to name but two) have gone even further and consciously chosen to wear the most outrageously tight dresses to venues which have long staircases to climb, guaranteed to enhance the spectacle. Needless to say, if you spend most of your life attending gala events in impractical dresses, as these ladies do, these were no accidental mishaps. They were precisely calculated to cause outcry from the outraged voices of mediocrity and to create optimum media exposure. As the hobbled divas wriggle sideways up the steps in their tight skirts, they are secure in the knowledge that maximum publicity will ensue.
The Hobble Skirt represents empowerment. A female executive wearing a Hobble-Skirted business suit and high stiletto heels in the workplace looks the epitome of efficiency. Although her physical capability is reduced, the respect she receives makes her life easier.
In short, the Hobble-Skirted woman dictates the pace. She cannot and will not be hurried. The world waits for her in fascination, compelled to make allowances for the way her narrow skirt inconveniences her, yet at the same time enhances her personal style, dignity and charisma.
In a Hobble Skirt, you must move and behave differently. You have to walk as the skirt tells you to walk. It takes practice and patience. Having achieved the necessary skills, you may wish to encourage friends who normally dress down in flat shoes and jeans to join you in adopting the style, so you can all enjoy socialising at a similar pace. Alternatively you may wish to continue enjoying a very unfair advantage!
If in doubt, here's some good news: contrary to the claims of fashion "experts" concerning the clothing requirements of the (allegedly) more active modern woman, life has inadvertently become better-suited than ever to the wearing of Hobble Skirts.
After all, when was the last time you had to mount a high step to climb aboard a bus or train? Just how difficult is it to drive your automatic to a multi-storey car park and saunter around the adjoining smooth-floored shopping mall, complete with escalators, elevators and mobility ramps? It's so much easier to get around these days. If you do need to move quickly, simply break into a graceful (and aerobically beneficial) Geisha-style trot!
Once you have grown accustomed to it, we think you will actually enjoy the elegant sensation of feeling hobbled by your skirt. Moreover, you'll be pleasantly surprised, and occasionally amused, by the reactions it provokes. You'll quickly find that people have no problem at all with the way you have to walk - in fact most will admire your style. As for those few sad people who don't approve and stare unkindly at you - just wear big sunglasses and ignore them.
Our "Little Black Hobble Skirts" are a long way from what so many High Street shops sell as "pencil skirts" - those corporate-looking, unexciting, straight, excessively stretchy items of clothing, with their unsightly and completely unnecessary splits or vents, advertised as offering "freedom of movement". One wonders what kind of movement the manufacturers envisage – the Can-Can, perhaps, or the Steeplechase?
What the fashion industry and its various commentators currently seem unable to comprehend is that tight skirts are supposed to change how you walk and move. The subtle little manoeuvres you must learn to accomplish in order to go about your daily routine are what makes a restricting Hobble Skirt so eternally fascinating, to both wearer and admirer alike. Your ability to cope calmly and serenely with an item of clothing so obviously impractical and challenging to wear is what defines your elegance and sets you apart from the crowd.
Wearing your "Little Black Hobble Skirt" may occasionally present you with interesting little problems to solve, but once you've got your walk and your attitude sorted, you'll be fine. American fashion journalist Edith Russell successfully escaped the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 despite, as she later described in a radio interview, being almost unable to walk - a "prisoner" in her new full-length Paris Hobble Skirt (the first item she grabbed from her cabin wardrobe en route to the lifeboats). We're sure you'll survive in rather less demanding circumstances.
Just work that wiggle, accept that you must walk from the knee, as the Hobble Skirt dictates, and take a little extra care on stairs, which should, of course, be avoided whenever possible.
Obviously, climbing up a long flight of high steps must be done sideways, one step at a time, so please be patient. Don't try to hurry or you will draw more attention to yourself. It will be obvious to anyone watching that your skirt is impeding you (no point pretending otherwise!) but simply adopt a calm approach. Say to yourself, "does this amusing little problem really matter when otherwise my tight skirt looks so wonderful?" and above all - don't take yourself too seriously! No stairway goes on forever (except perhaps the one Led Zeppelin sing about - and of course those in Montmartre). When you reach the top, all will be forgotten. Such moments are all part of the legendary appeal of a really tight skirt. Whether you realize it or not during the embarrassment of the moment, your efforts have probably just made someone's day!
Less apparent to a newcomer to Hobble Skirts, but more important with regard to personal safety - going downstairs in a longer skirt which hobbles your ankles is something to be undertaken slowly, carefully and with great mindfulness at all times.
Don't forget those stilettos - and, above all, have fun!

Will STO be here after season 7?

(Mostly being sarcastic in this post as an FYI)
Let's look at some stuff:
TNG, Voyager, and DS9 all each lasted for 7 seasons each. Enterprise and TOS lasted for 4 and 3 respectively, for a total of 7 as well.
There were 6 movies for the TOS area, the 7th bridging that and TNG. The next three were all TNG. And the latest is the one from 2009 for eleven movies total.
So...what does all that mean in comparison to the game?
I could give a long spiel on what I think it could mean, but that'd be silly. So I'll stick with this:
Ending at season 7 means that the game would be following canon, however slightly, and as we all know, this game doesn't like to do that at all.
That, or it's just gonna be around for awhile most likely until PWE tires of it.
A mime is a terrible thing to waste
Why are all of STO's EPs named 'Steve'?

Scorsese developing 'Gangs of New York' TV series
NEW YORK (AP) - Martin Scorsese is developing a TV series based on his 2002 film "Gangs of New York."
The director is partnering with Miramax, which released the Oscar-nominated film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis. The planned show doesn't yet have a TV network.
The series expands on the brutal, 19th-century New York gang world of the film. Miramax says the series will chronicle the birth of organized crime in not just New York but also in cities such as Chicago and New Orleans.
In a statement Thursday, Scorsese says the era was too rich to fully explore in a two-hour film. He says the series "allows us the time and creative freedom to bring this colorful world, and all the implications it had and still does on our society, to life."

DC Motor
Successful Landing on Comet Chury - Congratulations from maxon motor - Rosetta mission employs Swiss drive technology
The European Space Agency (ESA) successfully landed a small laboratory on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The lander features ten instruments which may provide important clues to the origin of life. Two DC motors made by drive specialist maxon motor are on board the mission. For the first time in the history of space exploration, scientists have access to substantial data from a comet's surface.
A First in Space History - Rosetta Space Probe Lands on Comet after Ten Years of Travel
At the end of May 2014, the Rosetta space probe moved into an orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in order to, map its surface and prepare for the landing of Philae. This ballistic lander, weighing 100 kg, landed successfully on the comet on November, 12th 2014. The probe is powered by FAULHABER DC motors to ensure a secure landing.
maxon motor takes part in chase to catch up with a comet - Rosetta Mission
After more than ten years of travel through space, the European space probe Rosetta has reached the comet Chury. Three months from now, for the first time in the history of space travel, a lander will touch down on the surface of the four-kilometer-wide comet. DC motors manufactured by maxon are part of this pioneering feat.
MICROMO Launches Powerful New E-Commerce Offering
Motion System Selector simplifies specification and analysis to help OEMs speed time to market. In a day and age when you can shop for everything from fasteners to centrifuges over the Internet, shouldn't you be able to buy a fully optimized micro motor system online? MICROMO thinks so. That's why we've launched our Motion System Selector.
More to configure - Motor, gearhead and encoder tailored to your needs - The maxon X drives family of configurable products is growing
Like all motors in the DCX series, these brushed DC motors feature high power density and low vibration. In addition to the technical highlights, the program's appeal lies in the configuration options. Motors, gearheads and encoders may be selected and ordered online. After only 11 working days, even complex drive systems are ready to be shipped. Detailed product data can be viewed online immediately, and 3D data for the configuration is available for downloading.
MICROMO introduces the new FAULHABER IEH2-4096 Integrated Encoder - Best in its Class
The new FAULHABER IEH2-4096 integrated encoder offers higher resolution, an expanded operating temperature range and improved speed control, especially in the low speed range. The new model lengthens the motor by just 1.4 mm and can be combined with numerous precious metal commutated DC micro motors. Because these are used in very small machines and assemblies, size plays a decisive role.
EC-4pole 32 HD with Planetary Gearhead
This 480 W motor can withstand 200 degree C, 1000 G, -5000 m and 1700 bar. The new maxon EC-4pole 32 HD motor has been designed for extremely rough operating conditions, particularly applications in deep drilling.
Deep drilling technology (called "downhole drilling" in the field of oil and gas exploration) makes it possible to recover oil and gas from depths of more than 2500 m.
MICROMO introduces the new FAULHABER 3890 CR DC Motor a benchmark for power and performance
MICROMO announces the latest addition to the FAULHABER CR DC Motor series. Its graphite commutation, powerful neodymium magnet and particularly high copper content in the FAULHABER rotor winding provide the compact 3890 CR with an enormous amount of power. For drives in applications such as autonomous robot system and electro-mechanical orthotic systems and exoskeletons, high dynamics and torque in the smallest possible space.
Highly Dynamic Brushless DC motors Compact yet powerful
In automation and robotics, many applications are characterized by high energy and high torque at the same time. Spatial restrictions also mean that drives must be short, have a long service life and be maintenance-free. The newly redesigned EC-i motors from maxon motors offer solutions that fit these requirements perfectly.
New Configurable DC Motors and Gearheads
maxon motor's DCX series is being expanded with two new DC motors. The GPX 22 gearhead is now also available in a version with reduced noise level and with ceramic axes. In addition to the maxon DCX 10L, a shorter version is now also available, the DCX 10S. Like all motors in the DCX series, this brushed DC motor excels through high power density and low vibration.

Romelia Mediterranean Restaurant & Deli
Spiced Turkish delicacies on South Beach
Romelia Mediterranean Restaurant & Deli
209 11th St, Miami Beach
Hours: 10am-3am Monday-Thursday, 10am-5am Friday-Sunday
Prices: Appetizers $4-$11, kebabs $9.25-$16, sandwiches $6-$9.50, desserts $5-$6
Boldly flavored kebabs, buttery, phyllo-encased pastries and succulent dips await at a small South Beach eatery a block from the ocean. Turkish owner Bulent Yeter calls his food Mediterranean, but his dishes would please a sultan. There are kofte kebabs made from ground beef laced with spices, gyros carved from a rotating spit of lamb and beef, and falafel made from chickpeas ground with garlic, celery, red peppers and parsley, fried until crispy and plated with lemony hummus and smoky baba ghanoush along with sandwiches and wraps.
Yeter is from Adana in southeast Turkey and worked at his uncle's restaurant in Istanbul. He cooked at several South Florida restaurants before opening on Miami Beach four months ago with partner Ahmed Demir, a longtime Turkish friend. They named Romelia for a castle fortress on the Gallipoli Peninsula that separates Asian Turkey (Anatolia) from European Turkey (Thrace).
Start with grape leaves stuffed with herbed rice, pine nuts, and currants, oval-shaped lentil and couscous fritters or coban (shepherd's salad), a fine dice of tomatoes, cucumber, onions, hot spices and bell peppers dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. Meats and roasted veggies here are marinated in mixtures of dill, mint, oregano, thyme, cumin, crushed red pepper, black pepper and coriander. Try a skewer of grilled eggplant slices threaded with meatballs or the signature Adana kebab made with seasoned ground lamb and beef with red peppers.
End with house-made pistachio baklava or kadayif made from a nest of fine pastry shreds enclosing cream cheese. Afiyet olsun! (To your health!)

DECATUR, Ala. — There's at least one first in the Evan Williams Bourbon Dixie Duel on north Alabama's Lake Wheeler. The 2009 Elite Series tournament marks the first time that a mayor has served as a tournament marshal. Actually, such a distinction isn't likely to make the "Guinness Book of World Records," as this is only the third tournament where marshals, or non-fishing observers, have been employed.
The big bass haven't shown up yet, at least not at practice, at the Evan Williams Bourbon Dixie Duel.
This years Dixie Duel could be just as unpredictable as the 2008 Elite Series on Wheeler Lake.
