Q&A: Talking Is A Good Sign & More
This article is sponsored in part by DoubleYourDating.com (What's this?)
Yes, it's that time once again: the day we feature your dating and relationship questions. Although we would like to answer each one personally, and with as much detail as possible, the overwhelming amount of inquiries forces us to highlight those that are most interesting to AskMen.com readers; your e-mail may even be answered in the process.
This week's Q&A focuses on how to know if she's interested from the get-go, realizing that you don't need to be rich and handsome to get the ladies, and dating younger women. David DeAngelo, author of Double Your Dating: What Every Man Should Know About How To Be Successful With Women, has your answers.
How can a guy tell if a woman is interested in him when he first meets her?
The main sign that a woman gives off is very simple to spot: she keeps talking to you .
If a woman isn't interested, she won't talk to you. She'll look around, act bored out of her skull, or move around in an uncomfortable manner.
The first minute or two is often like this anyway, as two people begin a conversation, but if it continues past three to five minutes, you need to move on and try to be a little less boring.
I knew you'd find my answer profound, but if you're still waiting for her to tilt her head, lick her lips, and twirl her hair, then you need to stop reading books published by guys that have nothing better to do than spend 25 years watching people in bars and writing down what they do.
It's simple:
1- Meet girl
2- Get e-mail and number
3- Invite for drink and stimulating conversation
4- Meet and tease, be cocky and funny
5- If she's not psycho, invite her over
6- Use The Kiss Test
7- Don't screw up
I may have oversimplified things here, but I think you get the idea. Don't worry about what she's thinking, just do what you know is attractive, and then lead. Things will work themselves out if you keep doing the right things.
Get the girl even if you're not rich and handsome, or if you're older than her...
Have a question? Get it answered by AskMen's guyQ.

Syfy and The Asylum officially announced today that Ian Ziering and Tara Reid will reprise their roles as Fin and April in the eagerly awaited sequel to last summer's iconic pop culture phenomenon: Sharknado. Anthony Ferrante will once again direct a screenplay written by Thunder Levin, this one titled, Sharknado 2: The Second One. Filming begins in New York City on February 13, 2014, the author will be used as an extra in the production.
In Sharknado 2: The Second One, another freak weather system turns its deadly fury on New York City, unleashing a Sharknado on the population and its most cherished, iconic sites. Only Fin (Ian Ziering) and April (Tara Reid) can save the Big Apple.
The Asylum and Syfy have struck a deal with legendary casting director Mike Fenton and his partner Ann Frederick, of Fenton-Frederick Casting, to supervise cameo casting.
Sharknado 2 is scheduled to premiere on Syfy in July 2014.
Thomas Vitale, Executive Vice President, Programming and Original Movies for Syfy said: "Sharknado was an extraordinary 'perfect storm' which captured the attention of movie fans across the globe. You couldn't go anywhere without hearing about Sharknado! By reassembling the creative team – and dropping sharks onto New York's iconic sites – we're unleashing yet another 'fin' wave of shark-mania."
Added Paul Bales, COO, The Asylum: "We're thrilled to be able to bring back the talent that madeSharknado a hit. Can lightning strike twice? I don't know, but it's a scientific fact that you're more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. This film will have lightning and sharks, so that's got to count for something."
Lightning, sharks, Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, chainsaws and explosions; Sharknado 2 promises to have something for everyone.
This Examiner recently watched Sharknado for the first time via Netflix and aside from some rookie gun handling mistakes, found it to br an enjoyable film. It does not take itself too seriously and is a fun way to kill an hour and 26 minutes. Ian Ziering and Tara Reid were perfect in their roles.

What is in this article?:
It was a challenging summer coastal vegetable season start for growers, and PCAs in late June were still coping with fallout from a difficult planting season. With crop schedules in some cases several weeks late due to wet spring planting weather, the result has been late and compressed harvests, erratic markets but unusually light pest conditions.

College Hockey:Massachusetts-Lowell starts season with unknowns aplenty
Entering last season, the Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks had the highest expectations. Coming off a heartbreaking loss in the 2009 Hockey East title game to the eventual national champion, Boston University, the River Hawks seemed poised to finally climb to the top of the league, boasting an experienced lineup and two senior goaltenders.
That season of promise never came to fruition. A combination of injuries, lack of consistency, the inability to score goals when they needed them — and on and on — led to Lowell finishing in a three-way tie for third place but losing all of the tiebreakers and thus being sent on the road for the opening round of the playoffs.
That playoff series against Maine eventually ended in an overtime loss in Game 3 after Lowell seemed in control after winning the first game of the series. With the series defeat went not just hopes and dreams, but also 12 talented senior players who played their last game for the River Hawks.
Thus, a season later, there are a number of question marks in the River Hawks' dressing room, which makes it difficult to know if this is a team that will contend or fall to the bottom of the Hockey East barrel.
"There is excitement because of the unknowns," Lowell coach Blaise MacDonald said. "Losing four very talented senior defensemen and two outstanding goaltenders, there are enough unknowns there to keep the excitement level high."
An interesting spin, for sure, from the veteran bench boss. But heading into the season, only he knows just how good this team can be.
The biggest question entering likely is goaltending. After graduating two No. 1 netminders in Carton Hutton and Nevin Hamilton, there is virtually zero experience between the pipes. T.J. Massie, who was on the River Hawks roster two seasons ago but returned to juniors midseason to get more experience, returns seeking the open spot. Michael Heffron, who was the third goaltender a season ago, never appeared in a game.
"It's a wide-open net, for sure," MacDonald said. "We think between T.J. Massie, Doug Carr and Mark Boulanger we have three talented guys. We're going to work closely with Eddie Walsh, our goaltending coach, who we have a tremendous amount of confidence in. And whoever plays the best is going to play."
Beyond goaltending, there is a need for Lowell to increase its offense production. Two seasons ago when Lowell ascended the ranks, the team not only got solid production from its forwards but also from talented blueliner Maury Edwards.
Last season, when defenses keyed on the hard-shooting defenseman, his production — and consequently the team's — went down significantly.
"We need [Maury] to play to the best of his ability," MacDonald said. "We know he's a very talented player with great experience. I don't think there's any question he's going to be heavily relied on by us, and I think he'll rise to the occasion."
So just how good can Lowell be this season? That question remains unanswered. If you're looking for insight, though, know that the 13 members of the freshman class likely could play a role if there is, indeed, success.
"Our freshman class is the best quantitative class we've brought in," MacDonald said. "The quality of players from top to bottom is really, really good. In the past, we'd have one key player go down and it would have an adverse effect on our team. From this point moving forward, we'll have real quality depth in our program."

Église St-Paul-St-Louis : Michelin's recommendations
This church, originally dedicated to St Louis, was built from 1627-41 based on a plan inspired by the Gesù church in Rome. It took its present name after the destruction of the nearby Église Saint-Paul in the late 18C. The façade, with its Classical orders of superimposed columns, screens the dome. In the 17C, religious ceremonies took on a theatrical character here. The church's fine furnishings were removed at the Revolution, though it is worth admiring the Mater Dolorosa, a marble sculpture by Germain Pilon.

According to the TSN website, Canadian Olympic gold medalist Marc-Andre Fleury made 22 saves for the shutout on Sunday as the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the New York Rangers 3-0. With the victory, the Penguins tied the Rangers at one game apiece in the Metropolitan Division final of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Fleury, a native of Sorel, Quebec, who represented Canada and won a gold medal at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, recorded his seventh career playoff shutout. Fleury made seven saves in the first period, ten saves in the second period and five saves in the third period. Brad Richards led the Rangers with six shots on net.
The Penguins received their goals from Kris Letang, Evgeni Malkin and Jussi Jokinen. Chris Kunitz, who won a gold medal with Canada at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, recorded an assist with Malkin on Letang's game winning goal at 10:26 of the second period.
Letang, who finished with three points, had his best offensive game since missing 26 games from January 30-April 6 because of a stroke. Letang also suffers from a heart condition, making his comeback this season even more miraculous.
There are also some questions in Pittsburgh regarding the health of captain Sidney Crosby. The Penguins' two-time Olympic gold medalist has not seemed himself in the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs, and according to Don Cherry of CBC Sports, may have a bad back. Crosby has not recorded a point in the series and was a game worst -3 in the Penguins 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers on Friday.
In other action Sunday, Brandon Saad had two goals as the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Minnesota Wild 4-1 to take a 2-0 lead in the Central Division final. Marian Hossa and Bryan Bickell had three points each. Bickell had a goal and two assists and Hossa had three assists. While Canadian Olympic gold medalists Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook each registered a point. Toews had a goal and Seabrook had an assist.

- Official Site: HarryPotter.WarnerBros.com
- Release Date: July 15, 2009
- Director: David Yates
- Main Actors: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint
Harry Potter is beginning his sixth year of magic and wizardry at Hogwarts and the times they are a-changing. Despite the fact that arch-nemesis Voldemort is lurking about with various disciples waiting to strike the lad, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) spends much of this outing dealing with hormones. Namely, Harry finds himself attracted to best friend Ron's little sister Ginny, while Ron and Hermione (Emma Watson) deal with their crushes on one another. However, there is work to be done as Draco Malfoy plots revenge and enigmatic Professor Snape's true allegiances are more questionable than ever.
This is the sixth film in the Harry Potter series and the excitement and spectacle has grown considerably with each new outing. This is director David Yates' second stab at the material and he does a decent job, although he doesn't have the visual acuity of past series directors like Alfonso Cuaron, nor does he have a particularly strong handle on the emotional complexities like Mike Newell does. Yates' take on the material is a bit more workman-like, telling the story as efficiently as possible (despite the long runtime of 153 minutes) and there's some merit in that. The real joy of this entry -- and of the series as a whole -- is watching the kids grow up in front of your eyes; the real surprise is how well they all turned out as actors. Radcliffe, in particular, has some difficult emotions to convey and he does it with aplomb.
The effects are pretty spectacular in this entry, more believable and realistic than they have been in the past films. The effects, as well as the pace, are not going to rev your engine the way something like Transformers did, but what it lacks in explosions it makes up for in intelligence. The Harry Potter films are not about shallow action scenes and hot bodies; rather, the films are little chapters in an epic story, with each action scene designed to push the plot forward. While there is considerably less plot-building and a bit more set-up involved in this chapter, it nonetheless stays interesting and entertaining throughout. Despite the fact that the books were originally tailored to a younger audience, the painful and awkward moments of growing up are something that audiences of every age can relate to.

Keeled Heart Urchin, Brissus latecarinatus: The Keeled Heart Urchin is normally about 4 cm (1.6 inches) long and 3 cm (1.2 inches) wide with reports that they reach 16.6 cm (6.5 inches). The width of the test of 77 percent to 85 percent of the length and has a normal well defined star shaped poetaloid pattern on the oral surface.
They are widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific oceans.
In Mexican waters they are found throughout the Sea of Cortez and along the coast of the mainland south to Guatemala.
The Keeled Heart Urchin is the only Heart Urchin found intertidally (versus subtidally) in sandy areas between 15 cm (6 inches) and 20 cm (8 inches) under the surface in waters of up to 150 feet deep.
The Keeled Heart Urchin is seldom seen by humans species belonging to Phylum Echinodermata and Class Echinoidea which includes Sea Urchins and Sand Dollars. They are members of the Spatangidae Family. They are named for the shape of their body and also sometimes called Sea Potatoes. The Urchins are of great scientific interest because, via fossil records, they date to the Cambrian Age (over 500 million years ago) with 7,000 living and 13,000 extinct species. Heart Urchins have tube feet and spines and they are not strictly symmetrical along five axes, thus they are sometimes referred to as irregular echinoids, but they have five-part symmetry.
The internal skeleton or test is formed out of large pieces of calcium carbonate fused together into plates in multiples of five. It is rigid and hollow without internal support. They have a mouth at one end and an anus at the other. They breath through their tube feet that extend through a petaloid, a series of tiny holes in the skeleton. They lack the specialized Aristotle's lantern jaws found in sea urchins. Heart Urchins live in burrows that they build just under the surface of the sea and they circulate water via a band of special tiny spines called fasciole. They consume edible bits found in the sand as the burrow including plants and small invertebrates. They have two sexes and reproduce via external fertilization releasing eggs and sperm simultaneously into the water. They are preyed upon by Helmet Shells (Cassidae). Heart Urchins have never been an important item of human commerce.

Week 17 Recap: Fresh Out Of Miracles
The picture above is of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Ryan Succop. Or, as he'll be forever known in the Steel City, the Most Hated Man In Pittsburgh. You have ONE JOB, assclown. Although I suppose there is some poetry to the season ending because of a spectacular special teams FAIL.
On a side note, only the Pittsburgh Steelers could get screwed over by the referees in a game they weren't even playing. Even worse, they got jobbed TWICE. That's some superior trolling by Roger Goodell. Bring back the replacement refs!
As you may have noticed, I have yet to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns. That's because it was the epitome of a forgettable game. Yeah, the Black and Gold had to win to keep their slim playoff chances alive but there was little doubt they'd do that. Beyond the easy W, there was little of note beyond some personal statistical goals and perhaps the chance to see Steeler legends (Troy Polamalu, Bret Keisel) play their final game at Heinz Field.

Welcome back. I hope everybody had a great Christmas. If you're anything like me, I'm sure it included at least one piece of Pittsburgh Steelers related swag. At this point, I think I have more Black and Gold related dvds than NFL Films.
With time running out in both the year 2013 and the 2013 NFL season, I think we should pick up where we left off on Monday. Thanks to an improbable set of circumstances last Sunday, the Steelers are still mathematically alive for the AFC Playoffs. In order for them to leapfrog three teams and earn the second Wild Card slot, there are only three games we need to keep an eye on. Continue reading »

Week 12 Recap: Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss
I have no idea how this NFL season is going to end. What I do know is it'll probably be in the least likely way possible.
In a year full of twists and turns, the latest came Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns 27-11 to officially move into contention for the AFC Playoffs. The graphic above showing the Black and Gold as the second AFC Wild Card team was valid for about three hours yesterday afternoon. That is, until Tennessee beat Oakland to move ahead of us by virtue of a head-to-head victory earlier in the season. Still, the fact the same team that started out 0-4 and got epically blown out by the Patriots a month back is even in the playoff race is utterly insane.
Welcome to the parity-driven, NFL! Continue reading »

This Sunday, the latest chapter in one of the most storied rivalries in NFL history takes place in Cleveland as the Cleveland Browns host the resurgent Pittsburgh Steelers. I've been loathe to use the p-word in association with the Steelers but in all honesty, the AFC is a complete disaster. Only the Broncos and Chiefs have broken away from the pack and would anybody be shocked if either or both were one and done in the playoffs? The rest of the conference is comprised of teams that have their strengths but also have some fatal flaws.
The Browns and Steelers are not as far apart as Steeler Nation would like to think. I've been hearing a lot of confident talk from Steeler fans acting like this week's game is chalk. First of all, even when the Steelers were good and the Browns were abjectly terrible the games were tight. Rivalry games tend to have the affect of evening out talent levels.
Or does nobody else remember Josh Cribbs? Continue reading »

Giovani Bernard With TD Of The Year (But Bengals Still Lose)
I was going to write "But the Bungles still lose" except when you're 2-5 and staring up at the entire division, you really shouldn't throw stones. Such is life for fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
If you were busy yesterday taking your kids trick or treating or attending one of those adult Halloween bashes where you get to live out your childhood fantasy of being Batman while every woman is wearing a costume with the word "Sexy" attached (Sexy Nurse, Sexy Plumber, Sexy Maid, Sexy Butcher), you probably missed NFL Network's Thursday Night Football. By the way, a dirty little secret of this season is the TNF games have actually been pretty damn good. They stumbled into a much better slate than ESPN got stuck with on Monday nights. It's just hard to get used to watching NFL on days other than Sunday and Monday. Continue reading »

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a bye last week. I'm sure most of them put the time to good use, resting some nagging injuries, catching up with their families… Perhaps a few even indulged in their favorite hobbies. For safety Ryan Clark that means finding the nearest video camera and blabbering away.
Clark appeared on his home away from home, ESPN's First Take, where he had a chance to catch up with his old buddy Skip Bayliss. Of course the first question they asked was about the Black and Gold's wretched 0-4 start. Not surprisingly, Clark downplayed the team's woes, maintaining the team would rebound to make the playoffs. Shockingly, Dallas-based Bayliss agreed with him. Continue reading »

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers historically bad start to the season, there has always been a small sliver of hope that all is not lost. That hope is rooted in two factors. First, the Steelers were gifted with a relatively soft schedule. And second, the AFC North isn't setting the world on fire.
The bye week giveth and the bye week taketh away. Continue reading »

Week 17 Recap: Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot…
And never brought to mind?
The more quickly the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns is forgotten the better. I have to confess, I lost interest in this game about ten minutes in and started flipping to Red Zone in order to watch games that actually mattered. Considering nearly 15,000 fans attended yesterday's season finale at Heinz Field disguised as empty seats, I have to think I'm not alone in my crippling apathy.
Pittsburgh is a football town. I would be insane to deny it. At the same time, Pittsburgh also backs winners. Oh, we still support our Pirates or Penguins when they fail but not nearly with the same fervor or in the same numbers as we do teams that win. The Steelers first meaningless game in six years and 15,000 people opted to skip it. The Rooney family, and by that I mean bungling meddler Art II, better not take this town's support for granted or we'll be seeing a lot more Pitt size crowds in the near future.
As I said, I didn't watch every minute of this titanic confrontation but I'll give some thoughts on the bits and pieces I did see. The reason my will was broken early on had much to do with a mind-numbing first quarter which saw Todd Haley's stunningly inept offense piss around while rookie nobody Thad Lewis drove 70 yards on Dick LeBeau's top ranked defense. The Browns' drive came to a screeching halt thanks to a Troy Polamalu interception.
Well, at least Troy made one play this season.
Speaking of finally making a play, Ziggy Hood finally made an impact himself. Unfortunately, it came in the form of taking out the knee of teammate Brett Keisel, who will undergo an MRI tomorrow due to fears he may have injured his MCL (which may or may not require surgery). On the plus side, with Diesel out, Mike Tomlin was forced to play Cam Heyward. Young guys on defense, what a crazy concept!
The defensive standouts, if you can call them that considering they were playing against a guy who has been cut from three different teams' practice squads, were Lawrence Timmons and Cortez Allen. Timmons put the cherry on top of his break out season with two sacks and a fumble recovery. It only took 5 years but LT is finally playing like a mid first round draft pick. So I guess we should expect next year's first to finally make an impact some time around 2018.
Meanwhile, Allen continues to make me look like a genius for tabbing him as a future starter – and a high-level one at that – in the secondary. Last week he caused three turnovers (2 INTs and forced fumble), this week he added another two FFs, one of which he recovered himself. Five turnovers in two weeks. That's nearly more than the rest of the defense combined. Keenan Lewis played well this year but I don't see how they can possibly limit Allen to a nickel role next year.
Lewis, by the way, is going to be a free agent at season's end. The balky knee which limited him the past month acted up so if this was his last appearance in the Black and Gold it was a brief one. I imagine the team will try to keep him although they'd be foolish to overpay for a guy destined to be a #3 corner. Lewis's probable exit will likely be part of a roster purge that made last year's Veteran Armageddon look tame by comparison.
Casey Hampton was replaced for almost the entire second half by Steve McClendon. McClendon even got some good pressure on young Thaddeus begging the question why he sat on the bench for 16 weeks while all the old immobile guys stood around like their feet were stuck in mud. Even though the team doesn't have a legit heir apparent at NT, it seems certain we'll go into next year with McClendon and (provided he doesn't kill anybody over the summer) Alameda Ta'amu.
The linebacking corps will also be undergoing a bit of an overhaul. Reports on NFL.com are that yesterday's game was James Harrison's swan song in Pittsburgh. If so, Deebo made sure to get one final late hit cheap shot in for old time's sake. Guess he'll have to sit out his first regular season game as a Dolphin due to suspension. Ironically, that hit came on the very play where Thad Lewis threw his first (and only) career TD pass. While it looks like Jason Worilds will step in opposite the chronically injured LaMarr Woodley, the Steelers will have to use the draft or *gasp* free agency to find another ILB to pair with Timmons when they part ways with veteran Larry Foote.
Ben Roethlisberger – making sure to clutch his ribs in crippling agony after every throw so we knew the Big Drama Queen was TOUGH~! – played to the bitter end. Ben, who threw for only 134 yards but 3 TDs, managed to put together a couple nice drives in the fourth quarter, including his 23rd and final TD pass of the season to Plaxico Burress. Eight years, three Super Bowl championships and a prison stint later, the season ends with Big Ben to Plax for a TD. Fitting.
The only drawback to yesterday's win (besides Keisel and Kelvin Beachum getting hurt. Since when did playing Right Tackle for the Steelers become the equivalent of wearing a red shirt on the USS Enterprise?) was the victory dropped the Steelers all the way to the 17th overall pick in the 2013 draft. That's still plenty high to get a quality player, one who may be counted on to contribute a lot faster than rookies have in recent years. Whoever they take, this is going to be among the most important off-seasons in Steelers history.
Will Art II admit the Todd Haley experiment has been an utter failure? Or will Boss Todd be given another year to electrify us with his vast array of bubble screens and end arounds? Who will replace the aforementioned losses on defense? Likewise, what will the team do with Rashard Mendenhall and Mike Wallace? Assuming both are gone, do they stick with what they got or introduce some fresh faces to the mix? Remember, every back except Chris Rainey is a free agent along with Manny Sanders. And for the love of pete, will they please fire special teams bungler Amos Jones? He's so bad, the name "Bobby April" was actually trending locally when the team failed yet again to correctly defend a fake punt.
On a personal note, I want to thank my readers for allowing me to vent this season. It's been a maddening year but being able to express my frustrations here certainly does my blood pressure a world of good. Even though you guys seldom comment, I appreciate all of you reading, from the old timers who've been with me since NPC to the newbies who stumbled upon this blog this season. I'll still be updating whenever Steeler news dictates (and as I've said, we should be making a lot of moves this off-season) although not on a regular schedule. I hope you check in from time to time.
Thanks for reading. Hope you all enjoy a very happy New Year. And Let's Go Steelers in 2013!

Know Thy Enemy: Cleveland Browns
Who cares?
Sorry for being overly negative although it's hard not to be since for the first time in a very long time, the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing an utterly meaningless football game. The last time the Steelers entered the last week of the season with absolutely nothing to play for was the final game of the Bill Cowher era. Actually, there was something to play for that weekend.
The Steelers had been eliminated from playoff contention the week prior but the Cincinnati Bengals needed a win to get in. When asked what would motivate his team to play with nothing on the line, Cowher famously said "Misery loves company." And his team responded by sending their long-time coach out a winner (and dumping the Bungles from the playoff race) with a clutch TD by Santonio Holmes in overtime.
While this week's opponent, the Cleveland Browns, aren't playing for anything either, I have a hard time imagining Mike Tomlin motivating his players in a similar fashion. After all, Fraud Tomlin couldn't get these guys to play hard when the playoffs were on the line, how's he gonna get them fired up for a glorified exhibition game?
How bad has it gotten? Local talk shows are taking call after call from members of Steeler Nation who actually WANT the Steelers to lose so they improve their draft position. I can't say that's a bad idea. Never forget the 2007 draft where Darrelle Revis went with the 14th pick and while we took Lawrence Timmons one pick later. Timmons has finally realized his potential this season although I don't think anybody would be crazy enough to argue they'd rather have him over Revis Island. So who knows, perhaps a loss on Sunday is the difference between drafting a shutdown corner or a chronically underachieving linebacker.
Good grief, we're talking about draft position and hoping for losses. Yes, it has come to this.
STEELERS DEFENSE vs BROWNS OFFENSE
The Browns offense will finish the year near the bottom of the league in points per game and total yards. Rookie QB Brandon Weedon has shown flashes of being a competent signal caller but enters the game having thrown more INTs (17) than TDs (14). Of course, it's not all Weedon's fault. Other than fellow rookie RB Trent Richardson, who was on track for 1,000+ rushing and 400+ receiving yards before he got banged up, the Browns don't have much in the way of offensive weapons. Whoever takes over in the front office will definitely be looking to upgrade the skill positions this off-season.
EDIT: And of course late news out of Cleveland is both Weedon and Richardson are nursing injuries and won't be active on Sunday. Evidently the Browns want to ensure they're in position to take the next Revis so they're endeavoring to field the WORST TEAM EVER. Even back-up Colt McCoy is sitting out because his testicles haven't descended or some such nonsense. Which means all you loyal season ticket holders will get to see the NFL debut of rookie QB Thad Lewis. THAD LEWIS! SMELL THE EXCITEMENT!
Which brings us to the Browns' sole motivation this weekend, rescuing coach Pat Shurmur's job. Shurmur's only been in Cleveland two years (although Cleveland years are like dog years, one feels like seven) but with a new owner used to winning – he was a minority owner of the Steelers – Shurmur's wretched 9-22 mark may do him in. Knowing the Browns, they'll probably fire Shurmur only to hire another retread like Norv Turner although we'll
worry laugh about that when the time comes. For now Shurmur is their coach and he may very well need a win this Sunday to have any hope of keeping his job.
For the Steelers, this may be the last hurrah for some familiar faces. Casey Hampton took a pay cut to come back one more year and although the team doesn't really have a heir apparent waiting in the wings – unless you count that drunken imbecile Alameda Ta'amu – he may not be back next season. Then there's James Harrison. Although our old pal Hennessy will be heartbroken to hear this, there is real talk that Harrison and his $9 million salary will not be back in 2013. I think that would be a mistake since Deebo has shown he can still play at a very high level when he's reasonably healthy but remember this is the same team that cut Greg Lloyd and Joey Porter when they still had a little gas left in the tank.
It's the Steeler Way.
Despite a season filled with injuries to key players and lacking in game-changing plays, the Steelers D will almost certainly finish the year ranked first overall for the third time in the past six years. Dick LeBeau has been telling his guys that he intends to come back next season so barring another Bruce Arians fiasco from Art II, our D should still be pretty good next season no matter who he has to coach.
STEELERS OFFENSE vs BROWNS DEFENSE
The only upside to having one more game left in the season is you only have one more game to watch the Steelers' excruciatingly pitiful excuse for an offense. The defense certainly struggled the first month or so of the season but when the story of 2012 is written our inept offense is going to bear the brunt of the criticism for things going so horrible wrong. And deservedly so.
Todd Haley was brought in to take them to the next level. Instead, everything has gone backwards. Ben Roethlisberger regressed. The Young Money crew regressed. The running game regressed. I don't know if Boss Todd will be back next year – my money, or rather the money inherited by the Deuce, says yes – but let's hope things improve next year.
Contrasted with the last appearance in the Black and Gold of some veterans on D, this may be the last time we see some young players on offense in our colors.
Mike Wallace (EDIT: Wallace has a sore hammy and is sitting out. Wow, this really is a glorified exhibition game. Do you guys really expect me to watch this?) and Rashard Mendenhall are undoubtedly playing their last home games in Pittsburgh. Wallace simply wants too much money and while I think he's a very skilled receiver, he's not the kind of difference maker worth throwing a huge contract at to keep around. Mendy, well, I don't think Tomlin likes him and as time has gone on the feeling has become mutual. I think he's a perfect example of a guy who needs a change in scenery to get their career back on track.
Where that leaves the Steelers, however, is anybody's guess. If Haley truly wants the Steelers to run the ball more often and effectively than his predecessor, the team probably needs to invest in a top flight back. Neither Jonathan Dwyer nor Isaac Redman have looked like they should be considered featured backs. Meanwhile, we once thought the Steelers receiving corps was an embarrassment of riches but subtracting Wallace and with Manny Sanders spectacular flame-out, we're left with Antonio Brown and… Jerricho Cotchery?
The Steelers aren't going to make any off-season decisions based on one game. Mendy can gallop for 250 yards or Wallace can catch 200 yards worth of passes and I'm sure it won't affect what the team does with them this off-season. What we do know is tough decisions have to be made so we don't find ourselves in this exact same situation next year. And what is certain is the team that takes the field next September will look quite a bit different than the one we see on Sunday.

Let's Talk Steelers Playoff Scenarios…
Yes, playoffs. I'm talkin' about playoffs.
Blame Roger Goodell. The Ginger Dictator, in his ongoing quest to go down in history as the worst commissioner of any sport ever, floated the idea of expanding the NFL playoffs from 14 to 16 teams yesterday. Just what football fans need, more .500 teams in the playoffs! Of course, everybody knows the real reason he proposed this ludicrous idea is to deflect attention away from how badly he botched the Saints bounty case.
Hey, always remember the Pittsburgh Steelers were the only team to vote against the new CBA.
Ginger couldn't have picked a worse year to bring up expanding the playoffs. If there were several 10 and 11 win teams in danger of missing the post-season, I could see a ground-swelling of support for the idea. But this year? With three weeks left in the season, three of four divisions in the AFC have already been clinched.
The only team who hasn't clinched? Why, the Baltimore Ravens of course! Despite leading our divison, the Ratbirds are so worried about their prospects for a successful post-season that this past week they took the highly unusual step of firing their offensive coordinator. As I've said a million times and will keep repeating, Baltimore has this almost pathological need to blame their mediocre offense on everything except the real reason why it's mediocre: quarterback Joe Flacco.
The firing of ex-OC Cam Cameron evidently was owed to the fact the team's best player, Ray Rice, had zero touches in the 4th quarter of the Charlie Batch Game. Well, it's easy to scapegoat Cameron since he's been a failure everywhere he's been but in this case that's hardly his fault. If you watched the game, it was clear that Dick LeBeau was keying on Rice. Sure, great players routinely beat schemes and Rice did break free for a 30 yard TD earlier in the game but no sane team puts all their chips on one player. LeBeau was scheming to stop Rice and control everything short while daring Flacco to beat him deep. Flacco can't pilot an offense which requires him to routinely throw more than 10 yards down the field. End of story.
With the Ravens stumbling towards the finishing line, it makes the Steelers pathetic showings against the dregs of the NFL all the more painful. We lost to two teams that will be drafting in the top 10 next year (Titans, Raiders) and another just outside it (Chargers). Win one of those games and we're in the hunt for the division. Win two and we're probably leading and controlling our own destiny.
You'll notice I didn't mention one other Steelers loss, that being to the Cleveland Browns. Sit down, you may need steady yourself when you hear this. All season I've been beating the Brandon Weedon drum, saying how he's been shockingly competent and would get more notice as a fine first round QB draft pick (despite everybody, myself included, mocking the Browns for taking him so high on draft day) if he played anywhere but Cleveland. Well, lo and behold, now the Browns, THE BROWNS, have crept into the playoff picture.
It goes like this. First, the Browns must win out. Then, if the Steelers lose two of their last three (unless you're a hardcore yinzer, I don't think any of us would be shocked if they went 0-3 or 3-0 down the stretch), the Bengals lose two of their last three and the Jets lose one more game, the Browns will be the second Wild Card. THE BROWNS!
I don't think anybody is ready for a world were the Cleveland Browns leapfrog both the Steelers and Bengals to become a playoff team. Unless the Mayans were right…

TWO sisters who lost their mother to cervical cancer when she was just 44 have organised a charity night to mark her 60th birthday.
Mal Taylor died 16 years ago when her daughters Kathryn Abbott and Kirsty Taylor were 15 and seven respectively.
She had suffered some symptoms but delayed having them checked out.
Kathryn, 30, of Columbia Street, Worsbrough Common, said she believed the outcome may have been different had Mal sought medical help earlier.
"Mum was 42 when she was diagnosed and was given six months to live but survived for another year.
"She had a hysterectomy, but by that time it had spread to her hip. She had two doses of chemotherapy and lots of radiotherapy. It all seemed to happen very quick.
"I would definitely encourage people to go for their check ups and I think they should be more regular and start earlier than age 25."
Kathryn and Kirsty, 23, of Spencer Street, have organised a fun run in Locke Park on July 5 and a charity night at Highstone WMC on July 18 where there will be four live bands, a Keith Lemon tribute act and a raffle.
The proceeds will be split between Macmillan Nurses and the Barnsley Hospice.

Finding a Venue
Whether a venue is required for both the civil ceremony and reception, or just the reception, finding somewhere suitable to hire can be a daunting task. The bride and groom should look at as many wedding venues as possible before deciding what suits them best.
Popular venues get booked up well in advance - sometimes more than 18 months - especially on Saturdays in the summer. Reception venues that are located close to religious ceremony venues will be popular.
Religious ceremonies (church weddings etc) require a separate reception venue, but many civil ceremonies are held in the same venue as the wedding reception.
If the reception venue is separate it should, ideally, be located close to the ceremony venue. Guests should not be expected to travel for more than 30 minutes.
Civil ceremony venues can often be quite small and often won't seat as many guests for the ceremony as expected.
Hotels are popular wedding venues and will offer packages that include accommodation for the bride and groom, wedding party and guests.

A Main Hobbies is putting Chico, California on the worldwide RC map in 2013, and the impressive slate of primetime competitions opened this past weekend with the running of the 4th Annual Outback Shootout at Outback Raceway. The BMiller Race Team made the short trek for the Shootout and came away with a banner showing, tallying four class victories and nine podiums overall.
Justin Moon, a former professional full scale open wheel formula BMW and champ car driver, has been on the verge of a breakout since returning to RC racing two years ago, and he may have gotten it at the Outback Shootout with a victory in Open 2wd Buggy. Driving a T2 Evo buggy from Team C with power provided by a Gen 2 9.5 motor and RS speedo from Tekin and the recently released ProTek R/C Supreme Power 100c Shorty Pack, Moon earned the TQ with four strong rounds of qualifying. In the eight-minute A main he led from start to finish and was the only driver to lay down 32 laps. 14-year-old BMiller Racing teammate Nathan Bernal registered the fastest lap of the race at 15.014 and made a strong charge at the end of the main to finish second just three seconds back of Moon, while A Main Hobbies pro driver Tyler Vik placed third.
Just prior to the Open 2wd Buggy main, the up-and-coming Bernal pulled out a dramatic victory in 2wd Stock Buggy with a borrowed Team Associated B4.2 that was built only hours before qualifying on Saturday. Starting from the No. 2 spot on the grid, Bernal (who also finished 3rd in Open 4wd buggy) trailed teammate Terry Wickum through much of the eight-minute main but strung together a series of impressive late-race laps with a Tekin Gen 2 17.5 motor and RS speedo and ProTek R/C Supreme Power 100c Shorty Pack to eventually take the top spot in the final minute and register a comfortable winning margin. Wickum held on for second while another standout Team Associated youngster, Tanner Matesa, finished third.
Open 4wd Short Course provided the most entertaining races throughout the weekend, and the eight-minute A main did not disappoint. BMiller Racing's Josh O'Connell started in the second spot on the grid behind teammate Patrick Zhao, who led for the first two minutes. In lap seven, however, O'Connell took advantage of a Zhao miscue and never looked back, guiding his Losi SCTE in consistent fashion behind the power of Tekin electronics (Pro 4 4600 and RX8) and a ProTek R/C Supreme Power 100c Hard Case lipo. O'Connell had to stay aggressive and focused throughout because Team Tekno and A Main Hobbies factory driver Austin Blair was all over him before settling for runner-up honors. Zhao held on for third place, while BMiller drivers Wickum and Lou Figueria finished fourth and fifth, respectively. All four BMiller drivers in 4wd SCT were mounted on Borrego wheels from DE Racing.
Figueria and Zhao also provided an epic battle in Open 2wd Short Course with the top of the box undetermined until the final turn. Zhao earned the TQ with a borrowed Associated SC10 stocked with a Tekin 8.5 and RS speedo and ProTek lipo and led for most of the eight-minute A main. But Figueria, who was driving team owner Brad Miller's Losi 22SCT with Tekin 10.5 Gen 2 motor and RS Pro speedo and ProTek lipo, was on a mission from his No. 6 qualifying spot. Hanging around in the middle of the pack in the early going, Figueria started to make his move up the charts at the midway point but still trailed Zhao by five seconds. With one minute to go he had closed to within three seconds and then found himself right on Zhao's bumper with one lap to go when Zhao got tangled with lapped traffic. The two battled as the crowd amped up with Figueria making the hero pass on the final straight to earn the victory. Randy Pike of Team Tekin and Panther Tires rounded out the podium in third. All three podium finishers in Open 2wd SCT had their tires mounted on DE Racing Borrego wheels.
Additional class winners included Eric Albano (Open 4wd Buggy), Tyler Vik (Open 2wd Stadium Truck), Nathan Lavery (Stock 2wd SCT), Kendall Bennett (Stock 2wd Stadium Truck), and Clayton Buck (Rookie).
With two world-class facilities, A Main Hobbies will be the hub of RC off-road action in 2013. More than 10 premier competitions will be held in Chico at Silver Dollar R/C Raceway and Outback Raceway, highlighted by the JConcepts Summer Indoor Nationals in July (7/13-14), ROAR 1/10 Electric Off-Road Nationals in August (8/8-11) and IFMAR Electric Buggy World Championships in September (9/22-29).

Hello! I just wanted to say i can Soooo....relate to that "bruised" feeling! I always say it feels as if i am bruised under my skin...EVERYWHERE!!! If someone grabs your upper arm or pokes you in the back or grabs your leg...etc...it feels exactly as what you said, you feel bruised! Very strange feeling forsure and i believe most Fibro people can relate to this symptom forsure. I was told by my Rhuemy that the shealth of skin which covers all our muscles, tendons and bones is contantly inflammed. Almost as if our bodies do not like this shealth of skin!!! (kinda of like a auto-immune type thing in a way) These symptoms turn off and on like Xmas lights! LOL! I was told the tingling in hands and fingers is the pressure on our nerves??? I have had Fibro since 95' and my body now constantly has that brusied feeling....somedays worse then others, but ALWAYS there! So, just wanted to let you know it is very common for me. Hope this helps you and i hope you are doing well! Take care and God bless!~Tory

Great post Tory! Sounds like you have a great Rheumy! I would have to concur as well! The older I get...the worse it gets! Also...stress & "other factors" (??) can cause it to wax & wane! I remember when I was younger...I seriously think I was too afraid to ask Dr'.s about it...or push it too far...cuz I thought they might tell me I had Leukemia...or something...bc my "bones" would ache so bad! Crazy Hugh??
Regarding the "inflammation pushing on the nerves" that you posted about Tory...that makes a lot of sense! I've been tested for MS...twice...& nothing shows up! So...guess it's severe inflammation that's wreaking havoc on my neurological system...as I have numerous neurological problems!! ??

Peripheral neuropathy (aka tingling and pinprick type pain in the extremities) is common with fibro from what my rheumy has told me.. The sheaths around our soft connective tissues are often inflamed with fibro, and that can put the pressure on the nerves. That is why I had great luck with COX-2 inhibitors (anti-inflammatories like Vioxx) back when those were still on the market, b/c they cut down the inflammation, which let the nerves calm down.
I am now trying acupuncture. It is helping so far. Dunno why or how, don't care.
And yep, it does feel like bone bruises.

I was literally in the middle of reading the post when my mom walked in the room and said her legs were killing her - like she was bruised from her rear end all the way down to her calves. She has Fibro - thankfully it's not as 'advanced' as mine. I feel bad - she can't take Ultram (reaction) so she's using Tylenol Arthritis.
I feel that bruising sensation in my hips - on both sides - and on the top of my feet.
I also get the pins-and-needles sensation on my arms and legs when I feel like I'm running a Fibro fever (it's a low grade fever but, it feels like I'm burning up).
I'm praying for all of us that someone comes up with at least a valid treatment - if not a full cure- as soon as possible. This stupid illness has robbed me of quite a bit. As the months and years go by, I see more and more that I'm losing (I have 2 brothers, both are married, one has a baby, the other's wife is due in February; and my best friend is married and just had a baby 2 nights ago. And then there's me - I ended a 8 year relationship (that was headed towards marriage and then stalled out). Between the illness, the medications and the fact that I'm now 37 - the odds of me having a child are slim-to-none. There's no way I'd risk a baby's health.

When I was first diagnosed I remember telling the doctor that I must have bone cancer because I felt the pain right down to the bone.

DITTOS. At first it seemed I was always looking for a bruise and couldn't remember doing anything to myself to cause one. Seems to go with the territory, it can last for days or just come and go, seems to be worse during weather changes too. Hope you feel better soon dear, it's the pits huh?

YES!!!! That is exactly what I feel as well!!!
I don't know why I did not descibe it to my doc like that, but I find myself constantly rubbing the "bruise" on my legs, and my back.

Hi i know how you feel i have lived with fibromyalgia for almost 8 years and it does feel like deep bruised pain like i was beat by a boxer or something,some days are worse than others and when the weather changes and if you get depressed it can seem like your going to die. When i hurt my body is really sensitive to the touch and it makes you wanna cry.

My hands fall asleep if they are in one position for any length of time, for instance on the computer.
The bruised feeling, I don't know, Fibro feels like lots of different things at different times. That is the dangerous part of it. You could get another disease and blame the symptoms on Fibromyalgia. In my case, I was exposed to Black Mold for 6 years without realizing it - in my ex husband's home. I now have Chronic Kidney Disease as a result of the toxic atmosphere. Black mold caused me to get three urinary track infections that didn't hurt when I peed. Instead I would get an odor only. Or in one case, a funny taste in my mouth. The trouble was that by that time, the infection (which turned out to be e-coli) had spread throughout my whole body and I could smell it coming out of my skin! I was near death and the capillaries in my hands and feet started to die since they were farthest from my heart. I have nerves that go all the way to my waist that have died as a result. I was peeing dark brown for 5 days of intravenous antibiotics in the hospital. I later read that that means your muscles are disintegrating. It left me with a doozie of a case of Raynaud's Disease, which is where your hands and feet are always cold and in my case very painful and turn blue, purple and completely white in places. (My Daughter has a friend whose grandfather lost his entire foot from a urinary tract infection going septic last winter! Very dangerous things!) They're on you before you know it.
I am highly allergic to all molds, but since black mold can kill anyone, I was hurt worse than anyone else in the house. My daughter's health was compromised as well, but not as badly as mine. Of course when we discovered the problem, my daughter and I left immediately. The damage was done in my case and I am in much worse shape than ever before. I wondered why I had less energy as time went on. Fatigue is one of the main symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease. So you see how easily we fibromyalgics can get into trouble and how very dangerous it is when we blame every symptom on Fibromyalgia.
That is one reason you must have a really good doctor that you can trust over time. My doctor also helped me find out that I had sleep apnea on top of all the other sleep problems I had. So easy to miss things. Sleep especially being so bad among fibromyalgics, it would be easy to not look deeper into the issue. Meanwhile sleep apnea untreated is very hard on your heart in particular.
It's a thin line we walk and we must be very in tune with our bodies. I feel like I am more in tune with mine than most people, but still I found myself in some very dangerous waters.
Keep asking questions. Keep seeking advice. You never know what you will uncover. My best to you.
