text: Hunting: News News Posted 06-26-2014 Eva Shockey Enjoying 'Uncharted' Ride in the Outdoors By: Lynn Burkhead, OutdoorChannel.com For Eva Shockey, life is a magical ride right now even if it's just a little bit off the charts. Uncharted, you might say. Yes, the pun is intended as Shockey and her well-known dad, Jim, prepare to unveil the new Jim Shockey's Uncharted show on Outdoor Channel next Wednesday, July 2, at 7 p.m. ET. Already this year, the 26-year-old has seen her already famous smile become even more so after she graced the cover of the May issue of Field & Stream magazine. Big deal, you might say? Indeed it is; Shockey became the first woman in 30 years to be a cover girl for Field & Stream. Not to mention becoming only the second woman ever in the 119-year history of the magazine to do so. The only other woman to make the Field & Stream cover was England's Queen Elizabeth back in 1976. Since the Canadian-born Shockey is in many ways the current queen of the outdoors world, part glamorous and part backwoods all at once, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that she was chosen. Click image to see photos of Eva Shockey Daughter of Jim and Louise Shockey, Eva has become as comfortable in the woods with a TC muzzleloader or BowTech bow in her hands as she is smiling in front of a TV camera, co-hosting one of her dad's show, or elegantly interviewing someone on the red carpet of OC's Golden Moose Awards. But don't for a second think of Shockey as some sort of camouflaged diva, because she isn't. Instead, she's a humble, thoughtful and respectful young woman who grins a thousand-watt smile as she stoops down to take photos with young children at a recent personal appearance at Dale Bonner's auto dealership in Denison, Texas. By afternoon's end, when she was done signing several hundred autographs for enthusiastic Lone Star State fans, Shockey graciously agreed to visit with yours truly about her life in recent weeks. As we talked, I could only think what a magical ride she has been on. Shockey agreed, noting that there was really only one downside to her recent uptick in outdoors fame and even busier travel schedule. What was that? That she didn't get to do much bear hunting this spring with her dad, Jim, the award-winning writer, videographer, guide, outfitter and television personality who has hosted television shows for a number of years on Outdoor Channel. "It was short lived," said Shockey. "I only had two actual days of bear hunting and I was using my bow. That makes it a lot harder on top of it. We had tons of chances and if I had been using a gun, I could probably have shot four, five or six different times. "We just didn't quite connect. I drew back on one at 25 yards, but it didn't stop for me to shoot. We got close (but not close enough)." Since the F&S magazine cover shot came out, Shockey has been a busy young woman, answering a deluge of social media inquiries, doing numerous interviews, and being featured in plenty of website and newspaper stories. Oh, and she also got engaged to her boyfriend, Tim Brent, a professional hockey player for the Magnitogorsk Metallurg of the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia. Editor's note: Yes, as you might expect, Brent also is an avid hunter and fisherman. In fact, he announced the couple's engagement on Twitter with a photo and the following tweet: "@brenter37 - As you all know I LOVE to fish!!! But, @EvaShockey is by far my best catch yet! #nocatchandrelease #keeper." Hanging with dad, Eva has traveled the world and especially enjoys the Yukon, saying "Life in the Yukon. Doesn't get much better!" "It's been busy for a few years now," said Shockey of her co-hosting role on dad's OC television show. "I don't know how it could get busier, but since that happened (the F&S cover), it has." Part of that increase in business is due to the fact that the Field & Stream cover and story has given Shockey additional exposure in corners of the world that she had not received it in before. "It's more mainstream than some of the things I've done in the past so now people that aren't necessarily hunters and weren't aware of me, my family , our show, Outdoor Channel, or any of those elements that are related to hunting, now they are more open to that," she said. "That's really the whole reason that we do this, is to open people's eyes that hunting is a good thing, hunting is great, that we're doing it for good reasons," she added. Those reasons include having healthy organic meat to eat, providing nourishing food for the needy in various portions of the world, helping to control excess herd numbers and contributing to wildlife conservation efforts through license purchases and the payment of excise taxes on gear and trip expenditures. "When anyone mainstream can see that and think that it's a good thing, that's better for us (as hunters)," said Shockey. "We want more people (to support hunting). They don't necessarily have to hunt, but we like that they understand hunting and respect it." Shockey is very comfortable in her role as an ambassadress for hunting, even if she never aspired to go into the outdoors industry by following in her dad's footsteps. "My mom doesn't hunt and I didn't start hunting myself until I was older," said Shockey. "When I was going to the university, I started actually pulling the trigger. I grew up with it and going on hunts and being with my dad, but I never actually shot an animal until I was 20." Shockey says that ever since that late beginning in the sport, neither she nor her dad saw this journey as potential career path. Instead, it's just something that she says naturally happened. "There's a huge niche in the market for young women that are hunting but are still girls," she smiled. "Like I still love being dressed up, I love wearing make-up and doing my nails, but I also love being in the woods, shooting guns and shooting my bow." Over the last several years, Jim Shockey's daughter has fallen head over heels in love with hunting and the great outdoors and has been able to turn what started as a hobby into a viable career. "Just because I didn't see it coming doesn't mean I'm not happy I'm doing it," she laughed. While most people are happy with what Shockey is doing, she admits that not everyone is. In fact, in the aftermath of the Field & Stream cover shot, she became somewhat of a lightning rod in anti-hunting circles. "Happy daughter. Proud Daddy. The world needs more daughters that hunt!!!" - Jim Shockey "My dad and I, we both have a lot of social media stuff going on and I get a lot more worse comments than he does, which is I guess surprising," said Shockey. "I would think that they would see him as more of a target, but I guess because people see me out there hunting, (some) are not happy having some girl that smiles and wears make-up out in the woods killing an animal. "They can't put those two things together and it gets (some) people mad. I guess since I've been a little more in the mainstream lately, people are seeing it more easily and they are attacking me." Having grown up around her dad and his television show, Eva is like the rest of her family, a gracious person even when others are not. "I've grown up with it (negative comments) and I don't take it personally because these people are behind a computer screen and they won't say it to my face," she smiled. "They'll say it behind a computer screen so you can only take it with a grain of salt." Which is exactly what Shockey does by going on cheerfully about the business of being an ambassadress for hunting and being a part of her dad's television programs. That includes the upcoming Outdoor Channel show that is titled Uncharted. "It actually airs for the first time starting in July," said Shockey. "I actually haven't even seen an episode, yet, though it's being heavily promoted." While Shockey has been busy traveling between hunts, sponsor commitments, getting engaged, and in many ways being the current face of the hunting industry, she is nonetheless very excited for the unveiling of her dad's latest project. While she hasn't seen a finished episode yet, that's ok since she laughs and says that she was there for much of the filming. "It's going to be amazing," said Shockey. "I've heard a lot about what the episodes will be like. "My brother Branlin, who produces the show, is the most modest person in the world and will never say anything great about his own work. But this Uncharted season, he thought it was going to be good. "When you hear someone who will never brag about themselves say it's going to be good, then you know it's going to be amazing." Amazing just like the magic-carpet ride that Eva Shockey has been enjoying over the past few months. It's been nothing short of amazing for her, her family and in many ways, for the sport of hunting and the industry that surrounds it. Watch Outdoor Channel on July 2 for the premier episode of Jim Shockey's Uncharted.

The Pros & Cons of Bra Styles
The Pros & Cons of Bra Styles
Bras are highly engineered and thoughtfully designed under-garments. They generally take many many months to design and fit modify before being put on the market. It is not unusual for a bra design to include as many as 40 fabric, trim and hardware pieces.
Though many bras are beautiful, they are more about playing a supportive role to your clothing. Knowing what bra designs work best for your figure and bra size will help you more easily identify the bra styles that best suit your needs. Not all bra styles work on every woman. We've therefore compiled this list of bra styles, and have included remarks as to each styles pros and cons.
Bra styles can also have differing cup designs. After our list of Bra Styles, we have a list of bra cup styles. Cup styles are also an important consideration when selecting a bra.
3-part/Multi-part cup bras
Adhesive Bras
Bralet or Bralette
Convertible bras
Corset/Bustier style bras
Demi bras
Front Closure Bras
Long-line Bras
Minimizer Bras
Padded Bras
Petite Bras

3-Part / Multi-part cup bras
3-part/Multi-part cup bras
These bras have 2 or more fabric pieces making up their cup design. By far, seamed cup bra are the most supportive bra style you can have.
Good style for:
Full breasts, pendulous breasts, heavy breasts.
Creating more traditional shaping for
splayed breasts
Not so good for:
Smaller cup sizes since the seaming that provides breast support is not really needed.
Hands down, the multi-part cup bra is the most supportive bra style made. It can also be the most attractive because all lace bras must have seaming in their cups in order for the lace to lay properly. The other advantage to a seamed cup bra is that it gives your breasts a beautiful shape and centers your breast tissue.
You can have a 2-part cup, a 3-part cup and even a 4-part cup. Most 3 and 4 part cups almost all have a vertical side panel on the outside of the cups. This vertical panel helps pull breast tissue out from under your arms and keeps it front and center, giving you a thinner and more youthful silhouette. If you are a D cup or larger, you should seriously look at multi-part cup bras. They will give you great support and a great flattering figure.

Adhesive Bras
Adhesive bras
The cups have surgical-quality re-usable adhesive along their insides.
Good style for:
When you need some breast coverage and no other bra style works.
The ones with added silicone give additional size to your breasts.
Hiding erect nipples.
Not so good for:
Those needing breast support.
Basically, adhesive bras are bra cups with surgical-quality re-usable adhesive on the inside of the cups - the bra can be peeled off and worn several times. They don't give support - but they give shaping and better yet, hide your nipples under sheer clothing. Some even come with significant silicone to give additional depth to your breasts. When you find yourself wanting to wear an outfit and no bra seems to work, an adhesive bra can come to the rescue and save the day or evening. But, try not to have the man in your life see you wearing one. They just don't get it.

Bralette bras
Bralet/Bralette bras
Bralet/Bralette bras – Unlined wireless bras without closures so require that you pull them over your head.
Good style for:
Leisure and sleeping.
Women not wanting much support.
Not so good for:
Women wanting support and breast definition.
Large-breasted women.
This name is given to an unlined wireless bra that usually pulls over your head. It is more of a leisure bra or a bra for a woman not wanting much support. This bra style is best for small busted women or for some support while sleeping or for leisure.
Back to top
Convertible Bras
Convertible Bras
The straps either come off or are detachable on one end so that you can configure your straps according to your top. For example, a convertible strap can be one-shoulder, crisscrossed in back, halter, kicked in and strapless.
Good style for:
Wearing under unusual/asymmetrical tops.
A great travel bra because of its versatility
Not so good for:
Those preferring comfort straps or wide straps since this bra style primarily come with only thin removable straps.
Those with heavy or large breasts will find they lack some support and have uncomfortable straps.
A convertible bra describes any bra with some form of detachable straps. These detachable straps can either crisscross, one shoulder, halter, kick in or be removed completely to become strapless. A great choice if you are traveling and want to take only one bra with you.
Back to top
Corset/Bustier style bras
Corset/Bustier style bras
Generally a longline strapless bra where the bra band can be cinched in by laces or multiple rows of hooks & eyes. The cups are usually demi cup styled to show off your upper breast tissue.
Good style for:
A strapless solution for full and/or large breasts.
Creating mounding and cleavage.
Women looking for back support.
Not so good for:
Wide-set breasts
, since it will probably not create a vertical cleavage line.
Short-waisted women could find the garment too long for their torsos.
Women with a tummy larger than the band size; this garment won't fit properly – even in a larger band size.
pine curvature may look more pronounced.
Corsets and bustiers are very structured and form-fitting undergarments extending from the busline down to the waist or hips. These garments can have boning, garters, removable straps and lavish embellishements. It is not unusual to wear these garments as outerwear. Most close down the back in a long row of hooks and eyes or lacing.
Back to top
Demi Bras
Demi Bras
Demi Bras – The cups have shorter underwires, less upper-breast coverage, and wide-set straps.
Good style for:
Settling breasts and shallow breasts will probably get some mounding.
Petite women with large breasts will enjoy the shorter underwires and reduced cup coverage.
Shorter wires up the center make this style a good choice for women with symmastia.
Not so good for:
Pendulous breasts
will probably not look attractive in this style.
Omega-shaped breasts
have too much breast tissue for this bra style.
Thin and conical breasts
will not fill out the cups.
Women looking for the same support that a full cup bra gives.
Large areolas could show along the top bra line.
Women with sloping shoulders will have strap slippage issues.
Back to top
Front Closure Bras
Front Closure Bras
Front Closure Bras – Bras where the closure is in front instead of the back.
Good style for:
Women with limited hand movement, or who cannot get their hands behind their back.
No hook/eye bumps makes for a smooth looking back.
Wide-set breasts
will find that most of these bras have wider set cups.
Not so good for:
With no adjustability, women between band sizes or with band size fluctuations will have difficulty getting a proper fit.
splayed breasts
close set breasts
may find the center
panel too narrow.
Women needing a supportive and anchored center panel.
Life of the bra is less due to the band not being able to adjust.
Front closure bras are popular with many women because they're easy to put on and take off. However, if you've been shopping for one recently, you've discovered there are very few to be found and for good reason. Front closure bras can be limiting since by definition they have only one non-adjusting clasp at the center front. The bra must fit perfectly because it cannot be adjusted. The center front clasp is not as strong or as supportive as a bra with a center panel. Consequently, the bra cups can shift around thus reducing support. Finally, a front closure bra will not last as long because of its inability to adjust tighter.
Adding to all of this is the fact that front closure bras are the styles about which manufacturers get the most customer complaints. They have the highest return rate and greatest customer dissatisfaction. Rather than making a controversial high return front closure bra, most manufacturers have removed them from their offerings. If you love front closure, just understand that bra manufacturers do not and this is why they are hard to find.
Back to top
Long-line Bras
Long-line Bras
Longline Bras – Have bra bands that extend down to the waist or lower.
Good style for:
Adding distributed breast and thus reducing stress on shoulders and back.
Relief of back pain and additional discomfort when standing for long periods.
Combination bra and shapewear all-in-one.
A columnar body shape.
Eliminating bumps from the underbust down.
Not so good for:
Short-waisted women could find the garment too long for their torsos.
Pear and tomato-shaped bodies will have fit issues – hips will be too tight, or the tummy will be larger than the band size. One option is to go up a band size and down a cup size to get a more generous fit around the torso.
Spine curvature may look more pronounced if the fabric tends to bias or twist.
Long-line bras are a fabulous style that seems to have been forgotten by most women. All women should have a long-line style bra in their lingerie wardrobe. Here's a list of reasons why:
Smooth lines - a long-line virtually eliminates bumps from the neck down
Better support - A long line distributes the support over a greater amount of your upper body, thus reducing stress to any one area like shoulders or back.
Clothes fit better - A long-line can reduce you enough around your torso to possibly go down a blouse size.
Focused support - The design of a long-line allows for focused support in specific areas such as your tummy, lower back and shoulder blades
Feel better - A long-line makes you look better in your clothes, thus making you feel better about how you look. Women who stand or sit all day wearing long-line bras report a significant reduction in their back pain and shoulder stress. Though this has not been studied, it's another benefit to consider.
Back to top
Minimizer Bras
Minimizer Bras
Designed to reduce the projection of your breasts.
Good style for:
Button-down blouses will not have that pulled apart look.
Reducing forward breast projection in fuller figures.
Women with reduced projection will find minimizer bra cups a great fit – if they can be found in their size.
Full-busted wide-set breasts will get kissing cleavage.
Pendulous breasts
and breasts with a
non-traditional under-bust crease
Not so good for:
Women wanting to avoid cleavage.
Enhancing breast projection.
Cup sizes larger than a G are not made in this style.
Those who perspire heavily - the breast tissue is moved towards the under-arm.
Short-waisted women could find their breast tissue is too high up around their neck.
Minimizer bras are designed to reduce the projection of the breasts. Large breasted women like a minimizer because they feel it makes them look smaller in the chest, and allows them to wear button front blouses without that pulling look. However, the minimize bra style mostly goes up to G cup sizing.
A minimizer does not reduce the size of your breasts. Rather, it minimizes your breasts' projection. Instead of pointed breasts, a minimizer bra changes the breast shape to a more firmly held mound. The cup shape is designed with a wider diameter and a shorter projection. Your malleable breast tissue is flattened and moved more under your arms, towards your center cleavage, up your chest and down towards your waist. Some minimizers push your breast tissue more in one of these directions than others.
In general, a minimizer bra will reduce your breast circumference as follows: B cup reduces 1/2", C cup reduces 3/4", D cup reduces 1", DD cup and larger reduces 1-1/4" or possibly more. This means the bust circumference (not breast projection) measurement is reduced by these amounts. When buying a minimizer, you should buy one in your normal bra size. Don't purchase a size down thinking you will get a more minimizing effect. All you will get is an ill-fitting bra.
Back to top
Padded Bras
Padded Bras
Padding added to the inside of the cups to give definition, add size and eliminate nipple definition. The padding can be light, medium or heavy. It's location can be built-up along the bottom of the cup, along the sides of the cup, or evenly around the insides of a cup.
Good style for:
Small cup-sizes desirous of a larger profile.
Uneven breasts – especially if there are removable pads.
Not so good for:
Keeping breasts at their natural volume.
Those who perspire heavily will find that the padding doesn't breathe – unless the padding is spacer foam or specifically says "breathable" in our description.
Any bra with some kind of padding in the cups is called a padded bra. Padding added to a bra gives definition, can add size, and eliminates any nipple definition. A padded bra can have light, medium or heavy padding, but can also have built-up padded areas at the bottom and/or along the sides of a cup. These pads are referred to as bump pads. Padded bras with removable pads called "cookies" can be a great solution for a woman who has one breast larger than the other. The padding can be fiberfill or a molded foam.
Back to top
Petite Bras
Petite Bras
Bras specifically designed for a woman with a petite frame. The cups are closer together and pared down, the straps are shorter, and the underwires are not as long.
Good style for:
Short, small framed women.
Pre-teens - but the girl must have at least a B cup.
Not so good for:
Regular-sized women.
Wide-set breasts could find the shorter underwires and closer cups uncomfortable under their arms.
Back to top
Plunge Bras
Plunge Bras
A bra with a low center panel to allow for plunging necklines.
Good style for:
Someone wanting the appearance of more cleavage.
Looking for a bra that doesn't show under plunging or button-down necklines.
Wanting cleavage without padding.
Not so good for:
Cup sizes smaller than a C cup.
Woman needing padding to create cleavage
Leaning forward too far could cause your breast to fall out of the bra.
Settled breasts
deflated breasts
shallow upper breasts
pendulous breasts
Back to top
Push-up Bras
Push-up Bras
The cups have various pads to push your breasts up and inward to optimize cleavage and breast size. Straps are usually wide-set.
Good style for:
(but supporting) breasts and
semi-supporting breasts
Creating a more youthful and/or sexy appearance under strapless dresses or low cut tops
Smaller breast sizes wanting to look larger and fuller.
Not so good for:
Pendulous breasts
deflated breasts
– these breasts won't mound enough.
Uneven breasts
will need to add an additional pad to even out the smaller side.
AA and A cup women will probably not see much benefit.
Wide-set breasts
will not get kissing cleavage.
Women with strap slippage issues.
A push up bra is great to give the illusion of a larger breast size. The padding, if removable, is known as a "cookie". Push-up bras are padded bras with additional padding at the bottom portion of the cup to lift the breasts, creating the illusion of a larger breast. Most push-up bras come in C cups or smaller and have wide-set straps. However, HerRoom has some push-up bras that go up to DD cups.
New push-up designs also have padding along the bottom and along the outside edges of the cups. This style of push-up bra not only lifts the breasts but also pushes them together to help optimize the possibility for a cleavage line. However, wide-set breasts and B cup size breasts and smaller will probably never achieve a touching cleavage line – there just isn't enough breast tissue to push around to achieve this.
Back to top
Racerback Bras
Racerback Bras
Also called "T-back" and "sports back" bras. This bra back design allows for maximum movement of the back and arms without any strap slippage.
Good style for:
A great solution for sloping shoulders and/or narrow shoulders.
Creating cleavage if the racerback is also underwire.
Easing back pain for those who find traditional straps painful
Hiding straps in sleeveless and cut-away tops.
Not so good for:
Women with sensitive neck tendons.
This back design can be visible under some tops.
Racerback bras are also called T-back and sportback bras. A racer-back bra is any design for the back that allows maximum movement of the back and arms. An added advantage is that such a design hides straps under sleeveless and tank-style tops. A racerback bra can have a high curve near the neckline with a T-strap down the center back; have bra straps attached close together on a back with a center back panel; or have cut-outs around the shoulder blades.
Because of the back design, a racer-back bra will most commonly be front closure. It therefore has all the front closure challenges mentioned above. The strap placement may also be too close to your neck, pushing down on your cervical nerve, which runs from your neck to your shoulders. Therefore, headaches, neck pain, numbness and shoulder pain are frequent complaints by women who have tried racer-back bras.
Back to top
Seamless (molded) Bras
Seamless (molded) Bras
The cups are of a single piece of fabric without seams that have been molded and shaped over a pre-determined breast form.
Good style for:
Not adding any additional fullness to breasts.
Breasts that are self-supporting or
and therefore do not need a lot of breast support.
Smooth and natural look under form-fitting tops.
Not so good for:
Uneven breasts
unless the cups are stretchy, erect nipples, and
thin breasts
Breast sizes larger than a DDD cup size will have support issues.
Deflated and/or pendulous breasts
will look unattractive due to lack of adequate support.
Seamless bras are one of the most popular style bras sold in the US. They give a natural round look to your breasts without any seams showing. If you like wearing clingy knits or form-fitting clothing, a seamless bra will be almost invisible underneath.
When you get into cup sizing larger than a D, seamless bra designs begin to be challenged. The shape of their cups have been determined in the molding process. But when breast weight starts entering into the equation, the breast shape usually becomes compromised and sagging begins to occur. The seamless styles which tend to hold up the best in larger cup sizes are those with a second layer of fabric.

Shelf Bras
Shelf Bras
Shelf Bras – A bra with an underwire but a very small lower cup that does not cover the nipple.
Good style for:
Firm and self-supporting breasts.
Breast sizes smaller than a D cup.
Looking braless while having some support.
Not so good for:
Settling and pendulous breasts
Large breasts needing support.
A shelf bra is a bra with an underwire and a very small cup which does not cover the nipple. This bra style can also be called a "chopper bra." Apart from being extremely titillating to men, smaller breasted women can wear shelf bras in place of a bra if they want a "natural" look, but without the sagging. If you want to go braless, but secretly wish you had some support, a shelf bra is the answer.
A shelf bra is also the name given to an additional piece of fabric with elastic sewn along the lower edge that is then sewn inside a top for additional breast support. This added fabric acts like a sling to give your breasts added support.

Soft-Cup/Wireless/Wire-Free Bras
Soft-Cup/Wireless/Wire-Free Bras
Bras without underwires.
Good style for:
Wide-set breasts
splayed breasts
non-traditional under-bust crease
, and
pendulous breasts
Providing full breast coverage.
Not so good for:
Adding definition to the bustline.
Creating push-up or cleavage.
Those who prefer the center panel to lay flat against their sternum.
Plunge blouse styles.

Sports Bras
Sports Bras
Bras without underwires.
Good style for:
Specially designed bra to minimize breast movement during exercise. They come in a variety of impact levels.
Any woman wanting support during any exercise activity.
Great coverage and support
Minimizing breast bounce
Not so good for:
Every day wear.
Woman wanting to add size or padding
Sports bras are specially designed bras to minimize breast movement during exercise. A sports bra minimizes breast bouncing. Its design includes wider straps, and broad cup coverage. Breasts are supported by the non-elastic Cooper's ligaments. Frequent exercising breaks down the ligaments and causes permanent sagging in your breasts if not contained from movement. Wearing a sports bra will help prevent damage to the breast tissue. Manufacturers often categorize their sports bra line by the level of impact and exercise intensity. If you participate in various sports or exercise activities, you may need several different sports bras. Sports bras are designed using one of three engineering concepts:
The compression bra works like the old Ace bandage by compressing the breasts against the chest (giving a woman what some call a "uni-boob"). This design works well for A- and B-cup women, and its tank or t-shape design allows many women to work out sans T-shirt without embarrassment.
The other concept is to encapsulate each breast. This style sports bra tends to look more like a traditional bra with full cup coverage. Wide straps, clasps and in some cases, underwires keep the breasts in place.
Compression/encapsulation sports bra uses the two technologies together for optimal breast stability. This combination is becoming more and more popular.
At HerRoom all our sports bras are identified with impact levels ranging from low to high. Any sports bra claiming to be high impact and comes in cup sizes D and larger also has our exclusive "Bounce Test" video on its product page. This video shows a model running in slow motion so that you can see how much breast movement can be expected in each high impact bra style.

Strapless Bras
Strapless Bras
A bra without straps. Many convertible bras can also be strapless bras.
Good style for:
Strapless tops and dresses.
Firm and self-supporting breasts.
Breast sizes smaller than a G cup.
Necklines where other bra styles won't work.
Not so good for:
Breasts larger than a G cup needing significant support – longline and bustier bras are a better choice.
Raising your arms up and down frequently.
Of all bra styles, the strapless bra is the most technically challenging to design. Without straps, this bra style must rely completely on the strength of the fabric, the design of the band, and the shape of the underwires to stay in place and provide support. A strapless bra without underwires is a bandeau and has much less support.
The most successful strapless bras have a wide band; boning under the arms and at the center front; deep underwires; gripper-like silicone strips along the inside to reduce slippage; and special elastic with exposed small elastic loops to help grip. Some strapless bras also put boning in the cups. Such boning gives additional support to larger breasts.
Strapless underwires are different from other underwires. Not only are their wires taller, but they also curve in to encompass the breast more than a normal underwire. When the underwires splay, they actually encircle the breast giving better support as well as reduced slippage.
Even with all this technology and sophisticated designing, a strapless bra can be a little uncomfortable and need to be pulled up throughout the evening if the wearer is active and large breasted. A
strapless longline bra
should thus be considered.
Back to top
T-Shirt Bras
T-Shirt Bras
T-Shirt bras, also called contour bras, have a molded seamless cup with a layer of foam for shape and modesty.
Good style for:
Camouflaging erect nipples.
Uneven breasts
shallow breasts
thin breasts
, or
conical breasts
Not so good for:
Large full breasted women could have support issues.
Heavy breasts can negatively impact the shape of the cups.
Shallow, thin and conical breasts
will need a more rigid foam cup that holds its shape.
Uneven breasts
might need an additional pad inserted under the smaller breast to insure an even look.
The T-shirt bra is actually a name given to what the industry calls a contour cup bra. This bra is a combination of being a seamless bra and a lightly padded bra. There is a thin layer of foam or padding in the cups to give a nice shape and modesty so that the contour of your nipple does not show. The public started calling them T-shirt bras because they are the perfect invisible solution to wear under t-shirts and other clingy or form-fitting clothes.
The contour bra is the best-selling bra style in America. However, it does have limitations in the larger cup sizes. When breasts get too large and/or too heavy, this breaks down the pre-formed breast shape in the bra's cups and you can end up with a less-than-flattering bustline.
Back to top
Underwires Bras
Underwires Bras
Bras with underwires for breast support and definition.
Good style for:
Almost everyone will benefit from a well-fitting underwire bra. It gives great definition to the bustline.
Not so good for:
Wide-set breasts
may find the underwires painful unless the center panel is also wide.
non-traditional underbust crease
will have fit issues.
Omega shaped breasts
will find the underwires resting lower on the chest and therefore possibly painful.
Splayed breasts
will need to find the right center panel in order to feel comfortable.
Distended high tummy
prominent breast bone
chests may find the wires in the center tipping out and away from their chest.
Anyone with sensitivities to metal.
Prominent ribs will find wires painful
Until the end of WWII, bras were soft cup (wire-free) designed. The invention of the underwire revolutionized the industry by allowing a bra to have support but with less breast coverage.
Demi bras
push-up bras
strapless bras
low plunge bras
are all possible because of underwires.
Underwire bras, however are not for every woman. Underwires were designed with the presumption that women are columnar in shape - without curves or a tummy. Underwires may splay, but they do not fold or curl to accommodate a woman's figure. Hence, women with an extended diaphragm or those that are petite and pear shaped can find wearing underwires uncomfortable - their bodies push the underwire away from their body and consequently send the underwire points poking into their body... ouch! One solution is to look for an underwire bra with an arch design in the center panel. This design will give a high tummy more room and allow the bra to lay against your sternum.
Underwires can be problematic on women with wider than normal breasts. Breast implants also tend to be wider than a natural breast. Wire-free bras are a great solution for women who don't enjoy wearing underwire bras. Wire free bras are just plain comfortable. Lingerie manufacturers understand this and now make many great looking soft cup bras. We encourage you to look at the wide selection now available. And if you have a large cup size, look for soft cup bras with support panels designed into the cups.

Climate change is the single most serious environmental threat facing this planet today and renewable energy sources including wind are a key aspect of combating this threat. Wind turbines are some of the most technologically advanced and cost-effective renewable sources available at this time. Modern turbines are likely to be in operation for about 85% of the year, and have a service life of at least 20 years.
The UK, with its long coastline and North-east Atlantic location, has the greatest potential wind energy resource in Europe with approximately 40% of the European total. Scotland and England have annual mean wind speeds ranging from around 6 metres per second on sheltered terrain to over 11.5 m/s on highlands.¹
If harnessed, this resource would constitute a substantial source of renewable energy that would reduce the UK's CO2 emissions, helping to combat climate change, and would enhance the security of our energy supply in a future where fossil fuel resources are likely to be increasingly unreliable.
The European Council has imposed a binding target for renewable generation to provide 20% of EU energy consumption by 2020. In the UK, where the figure currently stands at around 4%, Government measures to promote renewable energy include the Renewables Obligation, introduced in 2002, which requires all suppliers providing electricity to end consumers to supply ................more

Murder Trial Featuring Blinked Testimony Delayed
Murder Trial Featuring Blinked Testimony Delayed
A Hamilton County trial in which a dying man's videotaped eye blinks will be used as testimony against the man accused of murdering him has been delayed.
Ricardo Woods' trial was to have started Monday in Cincinnati. A court official says the defense requested the delay. No new date was immediately set.
Woods is charged with killing David Chandler in Cincinnati last year. Police interviewed Chandler while he was paralyzed after being shot in the head and neck. Prosecutors say Chandler identified Woods' photo through a series of eye blinks.
Chandler died about two weeks later.
Woods' attorney argued that the blinks weren't conclusive and should not be allowed in evidence, but Judge Beth Myers decided to allow jurors to see the video.

Ex-Red Sox George 'Boomer' Scott diesThe Sports Xchange
July 29. 2013 5:25PM
The Washington County, Miss., coroner announced Monday that former major leaguer George Scott died. He was 69.
No cause of death was reported.
Scott, nicknamed "Boomer," played 14 major league seasons. He played for the American League champion-Boston Red Sox in 1967 and led the A.L. in home runs (36), RBIs (109) and total bases (318) with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1975.
He finished his career in 1979 with 271 homers. He is credited with coining the term "taters" for home runs. He won eight Gold Gloves at first base. Scott also became the second rookie first baseman ever to start the All-Star Game.
After his major league career was over, Scott played and managed in Mexico.
He was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2006.

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – After opening the 2010 season with a three-game sweep at Maryland-Baltimore County, the Yale baseball team headed farther south to challenge the University of Rhode Island on Tuesday at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational. The Bulldogs' hot bats also made the trip from the Charm City to Auburndale, Fla. as Yale piled up 10+ runs for the third straight game en route to knocking off the Rams by a score of 10-5. Sophomore catcher Ryan Brenner led the Elis at the plate, going 3-for-4 with four runs batted in.
Mazzuto Family Head Coach John Stuper applauded Brenner's efforts both at the plate and behind it. "Brenner was swinging the bat very well today, and he also called a great game," said the 18-year veteran of the Bulldogs' dugout.
The Bulldogs, who will play seven more games in the Sunshine State, remain unbeaten at 4-0. Rhode Island falls to 1-8.
With his quartet of runs batted in, Brenner has matched his freshman season total of seven RBI just 14 at-bats into the 2010 campaign. Junior Andrew Kolmar, who was named Ivy League co-Player of the Week earlier today, and junior Andrew Moore both drove in two runs, while senior first baseman Trygg Larsson-Danforth also picked up an RBI. Sophomore Zach Tobolowsky went 3-for-4 and drove in a run as the Bulldogs pounded out 13 hits.
On the mound, junior lefthander Vinny Lally (1-0) worked the first five innings to earn the victory for Yale. Sophomore righthander Greg Lyons held the Rams scoreless over the last four frames to chalk up his first career save. Lyons, who also tossed a perfect inning on Sunday at UMBC, allowed just two hits and struck out five batters, including striking out the side in the eighth.
"Greg looked dominant today," said Stuper. "He was hitting his spots with all of his pitches".
The Elis will trek from Auburndale to nearby Winter Haven, Fla. to kick off four consecutive games at Chain of Lakes Park with a 3 p.m. contest tomorrow afternoon against Miami of Ohio.

Guido Fawkes: Plots, rumours and conspiracy
SALLY Bercow is rumoured to be disappointed that her husband John has finally put his foot down about her going on any more high-paying reality TV shows. Sally says she is broke and won't be able to afford legal bills that may result from her ill-judged tweets about Tory multi-millionaire Lord McAlpine. Labour-supporting Sally claims the legal action is "politically motivated", though that didn't stop her singing away the blues last Thursday with a group of Tory researchers in Parliament's Sports and Social Bar.
WHILE it was not a great day for the Tories, there was a silver lining. On Tuesday former deputy PM John "Two Jags" Prescott told voters that his election was "a referendum on everything the Coalition has done". Rather awkwardly, he then lost to a Tory in his bid to become Humberside's police commissioner. At the age of 74 he says he has fought his last election, though do not think for a moment that we have heard the last of the Prescott name. His son and campaign manager David is ambitious - he will find his way to Westminster one way or another.
ONE presumptuous Prescott supporter has a useless souvenir from the campaign. Certain of victory, they knocked up a metal US-style police badge. Might be worth something one day.
GUIDO would like to apologise to Labour's Andy Sawford, the new MP for Corby. Last month this column suggested he was second-generation Labour aristocracy. He is in fact the third generation of the Sawford family to carry the red flag into elected office. Andy's father was the MP for the neighbouring seat until 2005 and his great-grandfather was a Labour councillor in the 1930s. How's that for social mobility?
LABOUR MP Alun Michael's gamble on standing down to run to become a police commissioner paid off when he won South Wales. Unfortunately, his son Tal lost in North Wales to an "independent" candidate who turned out to be a Liberal Democrat member too ashamed to use the party banner. Perhaps Tal will inherit the police commissioner's job when his 69-year-old father stands down to collect his gold-plated pension.
AS the results came through on Friday afternoon, bumbling Liberal Democrat press spinners took to Twitter: "Today shows that voters know ultimately Labour can't be trusted, having messed the economy up so badly." Just moments later the Lib Dems lost their deposit in Corby, well short of the 5% share of the vote needed to keep their £500. Funnily enough the tweet was quickly deleted.
THE so-called "Boris Bus" - a new version of the old fashioned iconic red Routemaster - gets a brief cameo in the new Bond film Skyfall when 007 is sprinting through Westminster. But the free bit of global advertising very nearly didn't happen. Pen-pushers at Transport For London dug in their heels when the filming coincided with testing before the new £1.4million bus was launched in February. The clipboard mafia was defeated when one of Boris' own aides woke a driver at three in the morning to get the new bus in shot.

David Beckham, soccer's most influential figure, added more fuel to South Florida's hopes for landing a Major League Soccer franchise as he scouted possible stadium sites this week in Miami-Dade County.
The recently retired superstar has a $25 million option to purchase a franchise that he must exercise by the end of the year, and he has indicated that Miami is at the forefront of his plans. Rumors are rampant about where the team would play.
Marlins Park emerged as a possible temporary MLS venue until Beckham and his partners can build a soccer-specific stadium with a capacity of 20,000-30,000, which the MLS prefers.
Beckham toured the two-year-old retractable roof facility in Little Havana on Wednesday. The Marlins have declined any comment on Beckham's interest.
One industry source deeply rooted in South Florida soccer said the built-for-baseball park is not well suited to soccer, though exhibitions have been staged there. The MLS season also overlaps with the baseball season.
Although being discounted in most reports, the source said Sun Life Stadium is the most viable venue to place a MLS team, at least initially.
Sun Life has drawn huge crowds for international soccer events in recent years. Another is expected for Saturday's Brazil-Honduras match, which Beckham is expected to attend.
Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross said last month at a Bloomberg Sports Business Summit that he was interested in obtaining a MLS team for Miami.
A source close to Ross said Wednesday the organization is taking a wait-and-see approach while Beckham explores options, adding, "Our focus is on international soccer but we remain open-mind to hosting a team at Sun Life."
While an intimate setting in a soccer-only stadium is preferable, the Seattle Sounders are thriving at CenturyLink Field, where the NFL's Seahawks play, averaging 44,000. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blanks is seeking an MLS team for his new downtown stadium expected to open in 2017.
"I think there's only one place right now [in South Florida.] Sun Life was built for soccer," the industry source said. "It fits all three counties very well. Certainly it's up to MLS standards and above. I think it would be the start-up solution, with the idea of Mr. Ross having land on the same site for a soccer-specific stadium."
Bolivian-born billionaire Marcelo Claure, a potential partner of Beckham in an MLS venture, has been pushing for basing a team in the football stadium at Florida International University, where he serves on the Board of Trustees. There are a number of drawbacks to that site.
Claure previously bid for a MLS expansion franchise for Miami in collaboration with FC Barcelona before pulling out in 2009. It is unknown how that failure would play with league officials in another venture. Whatever Beckham proposes will be subject to approval by MLS.
The league has been intrigued but understandably wary of the Miami market after the failure of the Miami Fusion, which was conceived for the Orange Bowl but instead played four seasons in Fort Lauderdale before being contracted along with the Tampa Bay Mutiny in 2001.
Beckham is believed to have a numbe of investors, notably business partner Simon Fuller, the creator of "American Idol." There has been no indication that public funds would be sought to build a stadium.

UConn students celebrate men's, women's basketball championships
STORRS, Conn. - It was deja vu for Husky fans.
Students stormed the court at Gampel Pavilion for a second consecutive night as the Husky's women basketball team joined the men as national champions.
About 7,500 fans came to the UConn arena Tuesday evening for a rally to welcome home Husky men after their win over Kentucky on Monday. About 5,000, including several members of the men's team, stayed in the arena and watched on large movie screens as the women blew out Notre Dame.
After the final buzzer, they poured out of the arena and began a second night of partying.
It's the second dual championship for UConn, which also won the men's and women's titles in 2004. No other Division I school has accomplished that.

Airborne lead is still a health problem, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tells us. The secondary lead industry still has 21 smelters in the United States, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, so the secondary lead industry must rank first or second as a source or airborne lead, right? Wrong.
Secondary lead smelters are listed as sixth, contributing only 3.2 percent of the lead getting into the air, according to a set of EPA estimates. Ahead of secondary lead smelters in the ranking are iron and steel foundries (second), primary lead smelting (third), industrial/commercial/institutional boilers and process heaters (fourth) and hazardous waste incineration (fifth).
First place Piston-engine airplanes using leaded aviation gas (avgas) to power propellers. But aren't corporate airplanes all jet propelled now? Think Walter Matthau's day job when he played a bank robber in Charley Varrick. Crop dusting. You don't hear much about that industry, but it does burn gasoline and it does have a National Agricultural Aviation Association.
"Avgas is commonly used in piston engines, which account for approximately 54.66 percent of agricultural aircraft," according to that trade group. "Although no specific regulations have been promulgated at this time, our organization remains committed to working with the EPA to reduce the burdensome effects regulations could have on our industry."
Looked at closely, much of environmental regulation is counterintuitive. And a surprising amount of it is sketchy.
The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries is wrangling with a California agency over shredder fluff, the nonmetallic component left after grinding up vehicles. The state's Department of Toxic Substances Control wants to end the use of such residue in garbage landfills as an end-of-day cover, although a bill in the California legislature seeks to have a study panel examine the issue first. Part of the study's mandate would be to identify the constituents in auto shredder residue that could pose health and safety or environmental problems.
At various times lead, zinc, cadmium and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been cited as risks. However, there's no authoritative analysis of fluff's ingredients, which can vary quite a bit among shredders and over time.
Linking pollutants and their consequences is rarely as straightforward as infectious disease. We're confident malaria is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Inanimate causes are trickier, and the EPA's public statements are carefully worded when smelters and die casters fall under scrutiny and face penalties that sometimes approach $100,000.
The science of lead poisoning is least ambiguous because the element was widely available for decades in paint and gasoline. Large numbers of people received middling doses and they were studied, so the EPA's boilerplate when it announces financial penalties for lead emissions is straightforward "Exposure of young children to lead can cause irreversible brain and central nervous system damage, causing impaired growth development, lower IQ levels and behavioral problems."
At secondary aluminum smelters, the substances of concern are closely related chemical groupings, dioxins and furans. In those press releases, EPA treads carefully. "There is evidence that dioxins may cause liver damage and probably cause cancer in humans, and furans may cause cancer in humans."
Falling in the middle of the certainty scale is the PCB issue "PCBs are persistent in the environment and are suspected carcinogens. In addition, exposure to PCBs can cause liver problems and skin rashes."
All three of the pollutants are among the 31 rated as priority concerns at EPA's hazardous waste office. The EPA also tracks 548 substances in its Integrated Risk Information System. And unveiled in March was EPA's Aggregated Computational Toxicology Resource database, with entries for "more than 500,000 man-made chemicals." With such a dizzying array of materials flitting across the radar screen, we have to hope the agency can choose its priorities wisely.
Since lead's recycling ratio is extremely high, and since PCBs are no longer intentionally introduced into products, the really tricky regulatory item among the three cited is the dioxin group. Those chemicals aren't produced for use, but they are an undesirable result of several processes, including the melting of aluminum scrap that has been in contact with grease.
Greenpeace published two polemics, 10 years apart, arguing for zero tolerance of the stuff. A 2004 book on dioxin was subtitled Truth and Lies About a Perfect Poison. On the other hand, the EPA has been criticized by a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) panel for erring in an alarmist direction.
All the players agree that there's very little reliable information available on the effect of low dioxin exposures. Almost any research strategy ends up being educated guesswork based on data for high human doses—workplace exposure or accidents—or on data from animal studies. The suspected consequences of low-dose dioxin include lymphoma and lung tumors.
Even the skeptical NAS task force had difficulty reaching its own consensus. Some members thought "carcinogenic to humans" was an acceptable label for dioxin, using the EPA's normal rulebook. Others didn't. Another split Would the EPA learn anything useful by trying to quantify the uncertainties over low dioxin doses?
The EPA convened a three-day seminar of about 60 outside experts early this year on how to respond to the NAS critique. A physician who spent several years in medical research looked through a summary of the proceedings and commented "There's no point in getting data if it's not going to change your management." His point Will further research affect any of the anti-pollution rules impacting aluminum smelters? Probably not.
The wrangling over the effects of dioxin on health actually goes back to the Vietnam War, when the chemical was used in Agent Orange and some other herbicides to eliminate jungle areas within which insurgents had been hiding. PAUL SCHAFFER

Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Pharr, TX
About 5,000 pedestrians are killed in accidents every year. Even with an impact at a relatively slow speed, the human body can't endure an impact with 4,000 pounds or more of mass. If not killed, most pedestrians are severely injured. Almost all accidents in Pharr, TX involving motor vehicles and pedestrians happen from:
Speeding vehicles
Turning vehicles
Distracted drivers
Poorly planned traffic and pedestrian patterns
Failure to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians
Because the insurer of the vehicle that hit a pedestrian knows how serious the injuries can be, they're going to start preparing their defense right away. That's why the pedestrian should begin preparing their case right away too with their Texas pedestrian accident attorney. Witnesses can disappear, vehicle damage can be repaired and recollections can fade. Different notice requirements also apply to different cases, depending on who hit you. You'll want to be assured that all notice requirements have been complied with to avoid dismissal of your case.
Retaining your Texas pedestrian accident attorney immediately after an accident is the most important thing you can do to protect your right to compensation after being hit by a motor vehicle.

Cheapest made hat I've ever bought. Dollar store fit and quality. The seam in the band is in the front and causes a pressure point on my forehead. Surprising that Sitka would sell this product
Aaron | 03. 14. 18
My favorite hat of all time! Look, I've got a big head, and most hunting companies are on the low profile hat train right now and honestly, I can't wear a single low pro without feeling like a complete dork. So when I discovered the Sitka trucker hat in Waterfowl Timber, it was like I found the holy grail! Can't wait to get another one in Subalpine. and please, never remove this hat from the lineup! I'll keep buying them, I promise!
Billy Biggs | 12. 25. 17
The hat came in too small of packaging box so it is dented in on the left side. Won't pop out. But other than that I love it. Fits awesome looks great. Minus the dent??. I have a ton of sitka gear. Best out there.

Drew | 12. 04. 17
Great fitting hat lost mine. About to buy another. Love Sitka gear.
Brad | 09. 27. 17
Completely agree with Jacob. This hat is extremely cheap material. Not impressed at all. Definitely does not live up to Sitka standards. I am sending mine in for a review I guess. I assumed they would stand behind there product and exchange it out.
Tony | 09. 10. 17
I own at least 50 hats and this has to be the worst fitting hat I have ever had. I have to have it drastically smaller then any snap back I own. The bill is weirdly small for the rest of the hat. Not impressed considering this company prides itself on fit. I'd cut this hat from your line of products.
Sam | 08. 03. 17
Best fitting hat I own. Wish all my hats fit like this one does.
Heith | 07. 30. 17
New hats. Fit Amazing
Brent | 07. 08. 17
They changed the fit of the flat bill hats and they're now perfect! The older hats were too deep and didn't fit my head. Sitka has done things right this time!
Jeff | 06. 22. 17
Bought this expecting same quality as the flatbill. Not impressed at all. Brim is definitely crooked and will not bend back straight for some reason I. do not recommend at all. It feels like a 5 dollar street vendor hat not a 30 dollar hat. Expect much better quality from Sitka especially when the flatbill was such a good hat
Tyler | 06. 02. 17
Jacob Etchelecu | 05. 03. 17
They changed the design and fit on this hat, new fit is drastically smaller than the old trucker flatbill. Material feels extremely cheap as well, not impressed with this piece of gear. Really bummed they changed it from the awesome old design.
Jacob Etchelecu | 05. 03. 17
If I could rate this zero stars I would, they changed the hats from the older design, fit is much smaller and material feels extremely cheap. Not impressed with this piece. Loved the look online, in the process of returning it right now. Wish it was like the old style.

Bichette, Guerrero go back-to-back in Fishers' winStaff report
May 25. 2018 10:11PM
Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. clubbed back-to-back homers in the seventh inning as part of a top-of-the-order assault in the New Hampshire Fisher Cats' 10-3 Eastern League victory over the Hartford Yard Goats before a crowd of 5,098 on Friday night at Northeast Delta Dental in Manchester.
Bichette, the No. 2 hitter in the order, had a triple and single to go with his homer, a three-run shot. He finished with four runs batted in and three runs scored. Guerrero, at No. 3, each, had two singles and the homer (his 10th), for two RBIs. He is batting .435.
Leadoff man Jonathan Davis contributed a pair of singles and scored twice. Cleanup hitter Cavan Biggio added a double, single and scored two runs. Combined, the top four hitters had 10 of New Hampshire's 14 hits.
Jon Harris (3-3) earned the win, going 7 1/3 innings and allowing two runs (neither earned) on seven hits.
Brian Mundell homered for Hartford as part of a three-hit night.
The clubs continue their series downtown with a doubleheader today starting at 5:05 p.m.

Whenever the ladies of Face Time Beauty offer to share their bits of beauty wisdom, we always say a resounding yes. They're no stranger to must-know beauty hacks and today they're showing us how to work a faux bob. Think all the fun of a fresh haircut without any of the commitment that works for any upcoming special occasion. Grab your bobby pins and get ready to work a cute little bob like nobody's business.
1. Prep hair with waves using a 1-inch curling iron and alternating curling direction
2. Create a tight, small ponytail at the nape of the neck
3. Drop remaining hair down and create 5-8 ponytails securing the elastic on the ends of the hair. When wrapping the elastic, wrap until it is tight and on the last loop only pull half tail into the elastic as to create a loop at the end of the hair.
4. Insert a bobby pin into the loop you have created and twist up to secure into the tight pony at the nape. Repeat this step until all of the hair is secured up to a faux bob.
5. Finish with hairspray and pull hair out to balance out the look where necessary.

Dec. 29, 2012
DAVIE, Fla. – Florida State put a wrap on its penultimate practice before Tuesday's Discover Orange Bowl showdown with Northern Illinois at Sun Life Stadium, and Seminoles' coach Jimbo Fisheris quite happy with the way his team has gone about its business.
"It was a good Florida day today; a bit warmer than we've had the last couple of days," Fisher said, at the conclusion of Saturday's workout on the Nova Southeastern campus. "The kids responded very well. I love our conditioning, the tempo of practice was excellent, the execution has been very good. I'm very anxious to watch us play. I hope we play close to the way we've practiced. I've been extremely pleased. We haven't practiced like this for a while."
With bowl week winding down, the 13th-ranked Seminoles (11-2) will hold their final full workout Sunday morning, then have a walkthrough Monday at the stadium.
When asked why he thought the `Noles have been sharp throughout the first three workouts in South Florida, Fisher didn't hesitate with an answer.
"I think it's time to play," he said. "You haven't played for a while. You have a chance to play in a BCS (game). You understand your opportunity and you want to do well, represent yourself, your school and your family well. I just think they're excited about being here; excited about winning a championship."
Saturday's practice also included the drone of crowd noise being pumped over the loudspeakers at the field. That made the crisp and precise practice even more impressive.
"Sometime when you do that (practice with crowd noise) … it actually makes you concentrate more," he added. "Sometimes they focus more because they know you're doing that and so it locks them more in a game mode and sometimes their execution really goes up on days like that."
With the 16th-ranked Huskies (12-1) anxious to make their mark as the first MAC team to reach a BCS game, Fisher was asked what was left in terms of preparation for the game.
"The last 48 hours is very critical, that we really dot I's and cross T's and understand what we're going into the game with; how we're going to call it and when we're going to call it," Fisher said. "We'll have the kids totally prepared, so there are no surprises. … Hopefully they'll relax, execute and don't get nervous about it."
Players moved by former `Nole Smith's testimony
For the majority of the team, Saturday began with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Breakfast at Miami's Jungle Island, where former Seminole great Sammie Smith shared his testimony with players from both FSU and Northern Illinois.
After starring at tailback from the Seminoles from 1986-88, the Miami Dolphins selected Smith with the ninth overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft. Smith was out of the league after four seasons and ran into legal problems, serving a seven-year prison sentence for drug possession and distribution. With the help of former FSU coach Bobby Bowden, he won restoration of his civil right from the state of Florida in 2010 and since then has spoken openly about his troubles and his faith.
Smith shared his life's struggles and testimony.
"His ability to relate to us as players that actually play the same place he did, makes his testimony even stronger," said FSU senior All-American kicker Dustin Hopkins, who also participated in the FCA event. "Given the struggles he had with his drug situation when he was in the league and how troubles in athletics … can affect a player and his psyche for years after when you are confronted with adversity. When he mentions things like that you can relate to it. He speaks truth and it means that much more."
Eliot anxious to finish job before moving on
FSU assistant coach D.J. Eliot's final game with the Seminoles will also mark his first serving in the capacity of defensive coordinator, a position he will hold at Kentucky under former coordinator Mark Stoops, who accepted the job earlier this month.
Eliot, who has spent the past three seasons as FSU's defensive ends coach, told the media at Saturday morning's press conference that he is anxious to see the `Noles through Tuesday's Discover Orange Bowl date with Northern Illinois.
"The last three years have been tremendous for me at Florida State," Eliot said. "I have such great memories and worked so hard, and my players mean so much to me – and the opportunity that Coach Fisher gave me – I really wanted to finish this thing off on a high note. And I wanted to do everything I could for the program, the coaches and the players, to make sure that we finish this season with a win and continue to do what I can throughout the rest of this week to get us there."
Eliot joked that he's probably "broke a record on airline miles" over the past few weeks, bouncing back and forth between Kentucky and FSU.
"I've had a lot of responsibilities on both ends, and there hasn't been much downtime at all," he said. "I've still got a task at hand, so I'm still in that mode, that work mode. You know, it's been exciting, but it's also been challenging to manage two jobs, but I'm fully committed, fully focused on winning this game."
FSU's defensive ends, unanimous All-American Bjoern Werner and All-ACC standouts Cornellius Carradine and Brandon Jenkins, have flourished under Eliot's mentoring. Over the past three seasons the Seminoles have boasted one of the nation's most ferocious pass rushes, which has been pivotal to the overall defensive improvement.
As a result, FSU has rekindled the long-standing reputation it once held for producing NFL-bound defensive ends, just as they did under assistant coach Jim Gladdenthroughout the 1990s.
"I always looked at Florida State as a place where they weren't lucky to have me, but I was lucky to have Florida State, and that's the way I approached work every day," Eliot said. "Coach Fisher took a chance on me. I was a young (defensive) line coach at Rice that did a good job in an interview, so I've tried to repay him every single day with my work.
"My players mean a tremendous amount to me," he contineued. "They bought in early to what we were doing, and they've been very successful, and they've always respected me and done exactly what I've told them to do. So I want them to know that I was going to be here until the end for them, as well.
Quotes from Saturday's defensive press conference
Senior MLB Vince Williams on preparing for NIU and its explosive offense:
"We just want to show we can be dominant in every phase of the game. We want to be consistent on offense, special teams and defense; put together a complete game and give everybody a great show."
Williams on what drives FSU's second-ranked defense:
"We want to be great. We have the complete understanding at every level of this game that we want to be amazing. All of our guys are vying to be the best at their position in the nation. When you've got a collective group like that you're going to have a defense together that's going to be amazing."
Williams on preparing for prolific NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch:
"We're going to do what we do. I don't think we're going to vary away from what we've done all season. We've had tremendous success at doing whatever we're doing to be successful. I think we're going to keep that same attitude about this game."
Senior DT Everett Dawkins on the expectations that accompany playing for FSU:
"Unless you go undefeated and win the national championship a lot of people are not going to be satisfied, but they've got to understand that there are 120 other teams that can go to the championship game and compete, so the possibility is very slim. …
"Our fans want to see us do the best and we understand. It's hard to win the national championship. It's hard to go undefeated. We're still in a BCS bowl game and we have a possibility of being 12-2, which is great."
Dawkins on how he will look back on FSU's growth over his five seasons:
"Just seeing the progress, it's just not something that happens overnight with any team. There's a process to it, and just looking back on the process – where we came from and how we've developed as a team – I'm going to be happy to leave here Tuesday with a win and be satisfied with what we've accomplished as a team."

When BeOS was still under active development at Be Inc, the project captured the hearts and minds of many who wanted to use a more advanced operating system. Though Be has since gone out of business, it hasn't stopped many of those same individuals from wanting to continue using the operating system. The fact that BeOS is no longer under active development has caused a handful of developers to take on the task of picking up where Be left off. Alan Wilder submitted the following editorial which analyzes the current status of three BeOS projects that are currently under development.

The instructor pilot in command of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 arriving into San Francisco on July 6 said he had assumed the aircraft's autothrottle system would keep the aircraft flying at 137 kt. as he and the "pilot-flying" in the left seat guided the 777-200ER to Runway 28L in visual conditions.
Too low and slow on the approach, the aircraft clipped the sea wall leading to the runway threshold with its main landing gear and tail as the pilots attempted to abort the landing. The left-seat pilot was in the process of getting qualified to fly the 777 for the Seoul, South Korea-based airline.
During interviews with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, Korean investigators and the airline on July 8 and 9, the instructor pilot told officials that the aircraft was "slightly high" when it descended through 4,000 ft. on the approach. He then set the aircraft's vertical speed mode for a 1,500 ft./min. descent rate, NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said at a July 9 report on the investigation. During a July 8 update, Hersman said the pilots disconnected the aircraft's autopilot at 1,600 ft., presumably to hand-fly the approach.
The instructor pilot told investigators that at 500 ft. altitude, he realized the aircraft was below the visual glideslope provided by the precision approach path indicator (PAPI) lights on the airport, since the system showed three red and one white light. When on the proper glideslope, pilots see two white and two red lights. All red indicates a position significantly below the glideslope while all white lights indicate being well above the reference glideslope. The electronic glideslope generally used as part of an instrument landing system was not operating due to runway construction at the airport this summer.
"He told [the left-seat] pilot to pull back [on the control wheel]," says Hersman of the interview. "He had set the speed at 137 kt. and assumed the autothrottles were maintaining the speed." Autothrottles, if armed and turned on, will automatically increase or decrease engine thrust to maintain a preset speed, in this case 137 kt., the reference landing speed for the 777-200ER that day. The NTSB is investigating why the autothrottle did not work as the instructor had expected, an issue that could include mode confusion related to the interaction of various auto-flight modes.
Hersman says investigators documenting switch positions is the cockpit after the crash noted that the autothrottles were armed. In that state, the system will automatically activate when speeds are low regardless of whether pilots have the autothrottle system turned on or off.
Preliminary data from the aircraft's flight data recorder shows that the speed had already decayed to 134 kt. as the aircraft passed through 500 ft., and would ultimately drop as low as 103 kt. at 3 sec. before impact.
The 777 continued to slow as the pilots attempted to "correct a lateral deviation" as it descended from 500 ft. to 200 ft. "At 200 ft., the four PAPIs were red and the airspeed was in the hatched area," says Hersman. The "hatched" markings on an airspeed tape warn pilots of an impending stall. The instructor pilot at that point recognized that the autothrottle was not maintaining speed and established a nose-high go-around attitude. He attempted to push the throttles forward for more power, but says the pilot-flying had already done so.
Information from the flight data recorder showed that the pilots first increased engine power from flight idle at 125 ft. altitude, reaching 50% thrust 3 sec. before impact.
The pilots said that after impact, the aircraft "ballooned", yawed left and went into a 360-degree spin, according to Hersman.
The left-seat pilot was mid-way through the airline's initial operating experience phase for becoming qualified as a 777 crewmember, a process that requires 20 flights and 60 hr. of flight time with an instructor pilot, according to Hersman. He had completed 10 legs and 35 hr. of flight time.
Hersman says three of the four pilots were on the flight deck at the time of the crash. In addition to the pilot-flying and the instructor pilot, a relief first officer was in the jump seat. The relief captain was in the main cabin. Relief pilots fly the cruise portion of a flight.
This flight was the instructor pilot's first mission as an instructor pilot, and it was also his first time flying with the left-seat pilot.
Hersman says none of the pilots were given drug or alcohol tests after the accident, a requirement for U.S.-based airline crews but no so for foreign airlines.
