to think adults who wear disney character clothing are odd
(200 Posts)Ooh I have never seen this thread before.
I saw a purple Suzuki Vitara a couple of months ago in Cheltenham, it had a picture of Eeyore on the spare wheel coevr thingie, and the woman's name *"Sheila" amblazoned in bright pink joined up handwriting font on the back windscreen.
I chortled and thought 'I must tell mumsnet' but forgot.
I LOVE the howling wolf fleeces. Do you remember the very first Apprentice - Saira and the posh one had to select some tat merchandise for a telly shopping channel - they saw one of those wolf fleeces and completely roared with laughter at the sight of it, it was so funny to watch.
My friend is obsessed with bagpuss, and has computer accessories (mouse, laptop bag etc) covered in Bagpuss motifs. It is deeply odd.
I have, for some years now, been trying to lose dp's precious "Mickey in Moscow" T-shirt which he was given after (even more shamefully) attending some Morris Dancing bash in Russia. The only saving grace is that the lettering is all in Cyrillic script but the poxy mouse still looms large on the front.
It's not as if dp has any time, whatsoever, for the Dismal Corporation or their relentless colonisation of the planet. But he does love this particular garment.
But yes, as a rule, adults who want to brand themselves by sporting Eyeores, Tiggers and Poohs all over their clothes need help. Or to be given as wide a berth as possible.
this thread has returned
it is one of my favourites
for the last couple of years I have felt a bit of a buzz whenever I spot a disney wearing adult and feel I have come to understand them a little more.
On holiday last year ds1 went and blew his holiday money on a t shirt with a huge tiger face on it..oh the shame
My sister asked for warm pyjamas for Christmas a few years ago. It was pretty much impossible to find some without a WTP/Little Miss Naughty/some stupid slogan emblazoned across them. Some even came with a little teddy bear in the pocket! For grown women, FFS!
Naffer than a naff thing.
Our (male) headteacher is often seen in school sporting a fleece with a large embroidered Mickey Mouse on the back - the younger ones think it's great but the Year 6's are known to snurk from time to time.
We'll see whether the cold weather makes him bring out his wolf fleece.
Not Disney but I drove all the way home last night with that fucking crazy frog grinning out at me from the rear window of the car in front. Great big thing sat on the back shelf. It was the only time I have ever contemplated deliberately driving into the back of a car.
I agree with Jellybeans. Live and let live!
I saw a grown woman wearing Hello Kitty earmuffs yesterday. Her whole car was full to bursting with Hello Kitty cuddly toys and stuff hanging off the rear view mirror.
I cut her up quite badly at a roundabout. She totally deserved it.
Re the howling wolf fleece:
A woman I have never seen before wore a blue fleece with appliquéd Alsatians on the back to my grandmother's funeral.
Appliquéd Alsatians aside... A fleece! To a funeral! It wasn't even black.
I'm sitting here reading this thread in my Hello Kitty PJ bottoms I have a bit of a thing for HK. And I also love Owls. I'm not a saddo, honest!
I see alot of older people with owl or bird motives on fleece tops, the sort you can buy in posh garden centres. I think it is maybe abit odd but I like oddballs. I wouldn't wear it, prefer plain stuff and no labels but it's not really any worse than head to toe in Bench etc and if they like it why not?
LOL - "nafftastic bearfuck"
I am going to cover myself in honey and proposition DP with that exact phrase when he gets home this evening...
Tell us what you saw, pleeeeease Carmen.
lol .....im sure teenage ds has already done that lol ive seen him snigger when im wearing my tinky tee ......
OMG.. never... NEVER google 'slutty tinkerbell' images to accrue evidence
Or at least make sure your safe search is on...
Tinkerbell is so not slutty - is she?
I have a tinky t shirt and pjs .......
and the wolf tie dye t-shirts....my eyes are bleeding!
Hey nothing is as bad as the howling wolf fleece jacket here
I must say though i only wear those things in the house and not outside and certainly not to work.
My mother has a whole sofa dedicated to all her cuddly friends, v v worrying. They are going straight to the charity shop, if I am ever 'lucky' enough to inherit them.
YABVVVVVVVU I love my fleecy Micky jacket from Disney store its so warm. Whatever happened to your sense of fun OP, just because you are an adult do you have to be miserable and loose your inner child, my goodness me what a grump. Bring it on, I have an Eyore jumper from Disney store with my name on it
YANBU. It is concerning to say the very least! I hate to see cars full of all the fluffy characters...peering out the back seat...hanging off the mirror. Lordy.
oops wear = year
(a year so bad, I am still unable to type)
I once worked in a very small office, for a wear, with a woman of 35, who was so deeply, deeply obsessed with Winnie the Pooh, that, she could only call him, in deeply revered tones:
Wwwinnieee da pooooooh (upwards incline on the end of -oooohhh if you don't mind)
(deep shudder)
I don't have any Disney clothing but I do have a couple of t-shirts with the comics version of the Joker from Batman on. Homicidal psychopathic clowns are much cooler than grumpy donkeys and honey-obsessed bears...
My step daughter 15 wears a distressed minnie t-shirt in a post Modern ironic way, all her friends do too, they are all tall and gorgeous and wear them with skinny jeans.
It is actually quite cool amongst the young 'uns now...
I have NOT read all 7 pages
I once had a blind date with a bloke in a restaurant who said that I would recognise him because he would be wearing ....
his "mickey mouse nature lovers shirt"
it turned out to be a jumper with Mickey in some nature scene on it.
It was easy to find him in the restaurant.
There was no second date!
So who buys all the forever friends night dresses I see in M and S then ? I always look at them and think what an utter turn off that must be to men. Are there women out there that really wear those ?
YANBU - these women are strange and I will never understand them.
Pity them...they cleary have no sense of taste, or personal style.
also have a vest top with Micky Mouse on it. Might be shameful, but at least it's a talking point with DC.
I have an eeyore t-shirt and a betty boop t-shirt. the shame!
And women of a certain age who wear fleeces with SHEEP all over them.....
Ooh, I have a fitted t-shirt with a line drawing of Tinkerbell on it. And some nice blue sweatpants with a vintage Mickey. And a fitted Hoodie with a tiny Tinkerbell motif. (I don't even like Tinkerbell, think she's a bit slutty... I was just cold at Disneyland and needed a hoodie!)
They're not awful, but I wouldn't do the big glaring print of Winne the Pooh or something.
(I have a local resident pass for Disneyland and go every few weeks... you're all just jealous )
I have gotten terribly mixed up with all of the links to different threads about terrible clothing.
Just ignore me
My Sil asks for WTP themed jammies every year - she's 24
I do buy them for her - mostly because they are so easy to get my hands on....
She also wanted to go to Disneyland Florida with her Husband for their honeymoon, but he DH said NO!
She still wants to go and is hoping to go next year, but her DH is less than keen....
She has WTP paraphenelia all around her house - and she used to have loads of WTP cuddly toys which took up a large portion of her bed. I think they may be in storage until they have a kid
ok, maybe I could be persuaded for a thousand!
A few yrs back on me MSc in Computing (for arts thickos like wot I am) it seemed to be compulsory for the girls to wear Disney stuff and the lads to wear horrible 80s Christmas jumpers and carry plastic bags with there books in.
lol expat
so would i
Oh, I don't know, I'd wear one for a thousand or so.
I HATE the t.shirt thing though! Would NEVER wear a disney item of clothing unless I was paid millions of pounds to do so! he,he
mustrunmore.....I have a bambi tattoo on my lower back. Its very cute. I want to get a little pink bird to symbolyse my little girl. I know thats not disney, but still cartoony. I think if its small and can be covered up if needed then its cute!
I love Eeyore, i did used to wear T-shirts with him on, but now i tend to stick to keyrings.
I do have one guilty pleasure, lol, DH knows i have an Aspergers Syndrome induced Eeyore obsession, and he bought me a pair of eeyore knickers from BHS for xmas. Gotta love that man.
As for pj's i don't see the problem in sleeping in pj's with WTP stuff on, i love my WTP jammies, and so does my 7mo DS who sits and pats the character on my top while i'm feeding him.
I'm actually wearing a set with Snoopy on at the moment.
ShirleyMac! I'm so JEALOUS!
Can I have your Chewbacca hairy backpack PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSEE! Seriously - I would be topbananas with my DD and DS as we're all Star Wars FREAKS!!!!
I have a Tigger t-shirt that was in a sale at New Look - thought better afterward but annoyingly it's a very flattering cut and colour so I still wear it!
Shaun the sheep is different though!
It's not just rather odd, it's extremely odd! But then, I'm probably just a snob cos I hate clothes with any sort of logo on
Yes - it's odd (rather than yes you're being unreasonable).
Gosh yes.
I will admit to having a tiger shaped bag that I loved.....
I was 10 years old!
I'm not keen on any character themed type of stuff really (its all a big marketing ploy y'know), but I wouldn't stop my DS from having something if he really wanted it - he is currently sporting a spiderman cap and sunglasses which he loves so much he wears them indoors!
i have a penguin /chicken in disguise (wallace & gromit) bag. for display purposes only.
I had Shaun the sheep bag for work before I had kids & I loved it. It was too small for nappies & wipes etc so it had to go once I became a mummy.
How do you all feel about comic book characters then? Superman, batman etc?
<sockmonkey wonders if she is just a big geek and should just leave this thread be>
I also often wonder about the adults I see wearing those stuffed animal shaped rucksacks/backpacks (with apparently no children)....that is weird IMHO
I have to admit that is does seem difficult to avoid disney themed baby stuff - can sort of see how that could spiral into an uncontrollable habit (although not in my house obviously - there is not a hint of disney here....we are faaaaar too stylish)
I toyed with the idea of a WTP themed nursery when my DD was born but thankfully my DM talked me out of it before I got too far down this primrose-strewn path.
She casually pointed out that the bath sets were cheaper in Toys R Us so that sorted that one out. DD does have two WTP duvets on her bed though but that's as I'm too stingy to buy her Barbie or Bratz now and they're perfectly ok
DisneyShop had some men's Cars underpants in their sale - didn't think DH would appreciate them though
and I didn't know there was a Rodin Museum either - have just about heard of the Louvre though
Can't help feeling that character covered clothes of any persuasion are used in place of a personality. I hate disney with a vengence and there is no way while there is breath in my body that my ds is going to disneyland. even if someone else pays. maybe. What is worse are work colleagues who seem to truly believe that social services should be called just because you don't have matching disney nursery furniture.
I completely agree, I started a thread ages ago about this, mad imo.
I must confess: I have owned a WtP nightie and dressing gown.
In my defence I must stress that I got them from Mothercare on sale and only wore them in the last month of pregnancy during a bloody cold winter! They went off to Freecycle shortly afterwards.
On Winnie-ther-Pooh generally, I'm with Colditz. And I love EH Shephard's illustrations, they are beautiful (so are the ones he did for A A Milne's nursery rhyme books and for Wind In The Willows - now there's a good book!).
DD's room has EH Shephard stickarounds on the walls and a WtP music box. She loves them and I can't wait til she's old enough to read her the proper stories.
Minnie Mouse, however, can burn in hell. Why isn't her dress long enough to cover her drawers? It always disturbed me as a child....
I knew someone at University who had a hammock full of soft toys strung across the back of her car. Hello?!
mum at ds's school has disney crocs ....eughhhh.
Agree that there is something strange about grown women wearing Disney clothing in public, sorry!.....I have the same thoughts about grown women with 'character' back-packs (anyone remember the girl on WNTW with a huge furry animal one?) Oh and women who have lots of fluffy teddies in car or twenty keyring appendages.
I have 2 tigger t-shirts and 1 of piglet,In my defence i only wear them round the house/in garden or when i pop to parents quickly.
I must go shopping sometime soon.
<<<Wurz wanders off to find stuff to sell to buy more t-shirts>>>
My sister (30) has Whinny the pooh PJs
I didn't know that there was a Rodin museum in Paris . I wouldn't waste a trip to Paris to go Disney shopping though!!
" By welshboris on Mon 06-Feb-06 22:46:23
If the pass the parcel girl gets married before me, then my life is officially over
lol lol lol lol
I remember that other thread, I just laughed out loud at a post on it then realised I had written it!
Enough to make you weep Notapushy (althoguh teensy bit surprised that the Rodin museum is what yuo think of when it comes to Paris.Maybe you were being a bit of a tease??)
lol...am I sad then, because..well..ermm..uhm...yes...erm...I got a Pyjama with some Winnie Pooh characters on it..[oh the shame, I suppose....but you know what...it's so comfy and I love it]
Oh, I so agree with you, nailpolish.I am reminded of the shallow antipodean flibbertygibbet and first-generation -"graduate " who my DD had the misfortune to have as her primary class "teacher". My DD wasted a year with that naffly Disney-attired thick cow. At the end of one term she said she was going to Paris for the second time in as many months
"Oooo, lovely," I said," will you be visiting the Rodin Museum?"
"No" she replied, looking baffled. " I'm visiting Disneyland again. I was devastated when I lost my Eeyore necklace @ school somewhere, so I'm going to get a replacement."
" Are you going by yourself?"
"Yes.What's a rodin ?"
(creeps in very quietly)
I think it's odd for anybody to be wearing disney paraphernalia.
(creeps out again)
I dislike Mickey Mouse & co, and WTP, but like Tigger & Eeyore.
Not suitable for grown ups to wear, but a babygrow with Tigger on seems fine by me.
I did go to Disney in florida for 2 days with DS1, and you do kinda get caught up in the spirit of it while you are there, but I still refused to have anything with the mouse on it....I have my pride.
I have a theory - people who have taken their dcs to DLP out of season are occasionally forced to buy additional clothing to cope with the utter, relentless cold. This required them to take out a second mortgage, thus obliging them to wear the damn stupid, yet terribly warm and cosy, Mickey Mouse jacket for the next three years to get their money's worth.
Or they just don't care what Mnetter think !!!
And I like most kids Disneyclothes.
When I was pg I wore a t-shirt that said 'here comes trouble' underneath a picture of a cute cat. Haven't worn it since though - not keen on the stretched out clothes look now .
I think if you like it then wear it. We probably spend far too much time being worried about what other people think of our dress sense and spend far too much money on clothes. I personally like winnie the pooh and have a t shirt and some night wear with him on and I don't care what people think about me wearing them because he is a cute cuddly bear who struggles with his weight.. just like me, only not a bear
I think vintage Mickey Mouse tees are allowed but a jumper wit a big fat eeyore on it frankly scares me! I loathe Winnie the pooh on clothing for any age, newborn and esp middle aged folk, very odd imo.
I wore a WTP sweatshirt to do charity collecting in at Toys R Us once - it's great for attracting the attention of toddlers being handed money to drop in charity boxes .
I didn't buy it myself though - my cousin gave it to me for Christmas . Went in the charity clothing bank soon after that as there's no way I'd wear it as proper clothing.
Oh yes Lovelymoo-ok on kids definately!
MY DC's have disney crocs and they look great but not on an adult
You can get <<<shudders>>> Disney Crocs.
Was just perusing this thread again when a woman from our accounts department walked in wearing a diamanté Mickey Mouse T-shirt. Quite like the girl so I feel guilty now.
I have a minnie mouse nightshirt and really like it, I also quite like the disney fitted t-shirts, but am too fat to wear fitted t-shirts.
I have seen a car with fecking great Winnie the Pooh transfers all over it. And the driver wears matching clothing. Why????
I have always thought that but never analysed why.
I once went to a [single] colleague from work's house and she had 4 massive winnie the pooh toys sat around her dining table. I wanted to scream, I would have been less frightened if she showed me a knife collection
As I suspected, it doesn't have a real definition , but it's a reaction against modernism, essentially. It's mostly goofy stuff, imo.
Post modern is a new postal service, offered in the more interesting areas of Britain.
You can post ideas, goals, thoughts, beliefs, or even tangible objects. You don't need a stamp, or even an address, the service just delivers them appropriately.
post modern can be flung around with gay abandon
I urge you.
It is as meaningless a phrase as 'thinking outside the box'.
good question colditz
<<scratches crotch>>
<<nearly name-changes but doesn't>>
Is 'Post modern' a real thing or is it just one of those words you use when you feel like saying long words but have no cause to? because I would love to chuck that ne around a bit, but might drop a blooper as I don't know what it means!
manly punch on the arm for coldtiz for the post modern deconstructionism
very impressed indeed
i dont like the original books, although i can see the appeal
i also dislike cat in the hat
makes me <shudder>
dd1 got the boxset for xmas and i felt a chill up my spine
You're wasted girl.
I should read more challenging books, I think.
V. good deconstruction Colditz.
Sex with clothes on?
Oh no!
Not unless you're in public .
I love the original books. I really do. they were written to keep the adults awake while they read to the children, I think. But poor old Winnie-Ther-Pooh is dead, and his corpse has been reanimated by Disney like a parody of Frankenstein's monster, renamed Pooh-Bear, and paraded around various calculatedly schmaltzy scenarios, with his American Voice, and his American friends and his All-American Boy owner, until he is just a parody of who Winnie-Ther-Pooh used to be.
There is no satire left in Eeyore - he is now merely a miserable donkey. Rabbit is just a rabbit, and owl's pompous blundering was mistaken by the mundane for genuine wisdom and has been paraded as such.
i find the nightwear most upsetting of all - how does anybody expect to have sex with children's characters on their nighties?
I just Don't Get It.
I am 26. I am not 4. Why would I want to look 4?
Ex MIL gave me a WTP purse for Christmas one year. I was utterly bewildered. I live in Jeans and black v neck t shirts. Nothing about me or my house screams "Rampant Disney addict!" I like functional things, and Disney Pooh makes me want to VOM.
My aunt (60 plus) mists over and drops her voice reverentially when she discusses her three trips to Disneyland.
Her bedroom is full of soft toys and her fridge is covered in those 'You've got a friend' and 'The world's bestest grandma' type magnets.
You get the picture....
he didnt mind his wife squeezing other blokes arses
says it all!
FGS nailpolish don't ask them either question A or B! They might think you're offering.
I know np, honeymoon!
They were meant to go to Cancun the 2nd week, but there was a hurricane so they stayed at disney.
They said afterwards they were glad they didn't get to go to Mexico as Disney was so fabulous!!! WTF?
i would most certainly have Pluto as my bridesmaid
Is it worth to get married in Disneyland or honeymoon there d'you think???
Why would you want to wear something that basically gives a massive corporation free advertising?
Maybe that's a whole nother thread though...
oh jesus - honeymoon??????
I would so love to meet them and quiz them.
There is a swinigng coupoe in the cul de sac where my dd is childminded.
Good on 'em! Livens the joint up a bit.
he buys me clothes because i have made it clear to everyone i detest getting money ro vouchers
lol moondog.
Totally agree with OP nailpolish.
My sister has numerous WTP t-shirts etc, and she and BIL actually went to Disneyland ON THEIR HONEYMOON!!!!
I do not get it.
yep MD thats him
Character merchandise is already pretty sad for children and should be used with great care. For adults it is just tragic...
MD ny next door neighbour wears t shirts with naked women on them
we had a culdesac get together at a different neighbours house and he turned up with one on
cheap see-thru cotton jobby with a cartoon of a naked woman legs apart
his wife got drunk and tried it on with ALL the men
i am sure they are dirty swingers
they got married at age 16 and i would LOVE to know if A) they are frustrated or B) thet swing
purely curiosity of course
Isn't he the bloke who came to take your dh home to nurse him to health as yuo weren't capable (in his eyes?)
He's a widower isn't he?
Despite sartorial faux pas,fair play to him for having a go at buyingyou clothes!
no, i wouldnt want FIL buying me sexy jammies either (of course not!) but i dotn want to appear ungrateful, id rather have sone exquisite perfume or suchlike
I won't have Disney crqp for me kids either.
If it comes in the front door,it doesn't stop going until it leaves via the back one.
I'm so with you Expat and NP.
And how hysterical to shag a bloke in a Tssmanian devil blouson.
I saw a bloke wearing an Abba! The Musical!!! t shirt yesterday.Accessorised with a jacket with lots of little badges on it and a trilby.Needless to say,he was shopping with his mother.
i don't think there is anything more wrong with this than say some middle class bird wearing a grey cardigan and thinking she's the dogs knackers for looking ordinary.
we all have different tastes.
oh the shame!!!!
Sarah, I knew a bloke with a jacket like that he was a total tosser. Thought he was Gods gift but wore cartoon clothes bought for him by his mum and thought the height of sophistication was Planet Hollywood.
nice !!!!
Good friend of mine once pulled a bloke in a bar and all was going well until it was time to leave and he put on a leather jacket with the Tazmanian devil character on the back
Thing is, she still went home with him and now can't believe that she actually shagged a bloke a) in a leather blouson and b)with a cartoon on it.
ironic is passable.... disney is horrid...though have been to disneyland once in tokyo wouldnt ever think of going there..hate packaged holiday thing...
yeah, they're trying to be all young and cutsie. probably giggle a lot too, and have those backpacks that look like cute furry animals .
slap em i say, slap em.
I caused outrage in my office when I mentioned that I'm not keen on Disney and am certainly not planning to take dd to Disneyland ever. People reacted as if I was depriving her of an essential part of her childhood. Eek!
lol NQC " nafftastic bearfuck nightmare that is Disney Pooh"
LaSenza actually have some nicer plainer stock in at the moment (walked by window yesterday), failing that take them back & pick a gift for someone else!
Maybe exchange them for non-Disney La Senza pjs?
PJs are such a minefield, my MIL is forever buying me them from M+S. But the ones she's bought have been a) cat-themed (I have cats! This doesn't mean I want pictures of cats on everything! If I want to look at a cat, I can just find one of mine!) or b) with polar bears on. Nice enough, but a bit cuter than I wanted ...
But would you want your FIL buying you 'sexy' PJs?
i could do with some new bras, and they ARE from La Senza
but i <shudder> at La Senza bras
what should i do with these disney jammies????????????????
whats wrong with wearing disney may i ask ???? i have the hairband with 100 dal dogs on wearing a pooh bear jumper and wearing eeyore slippers i think i look good!!!
yeah right xxx only joking ladies dp would have locked away if i dressed like that
Oh, and I dislike pre-Disney Pooh, and hate Disney Pooh. All the branded products suck, for one thing, and oh, it's all so naff naff naffo.
I don't understand why British people, particularly, would want anything to do with the nafftastic bearfuck nightmare that is Disney Pooh. Particularly if you like the original stuff.
No no, Dr Seuss is fine. Miffy is fine. Hello Kitty (Goodbye Taste! [tm Marina]) is fine.
Disney is horrid.
Dr Seuss eh? Now, I wouldn't mind a 'cat in the hat' hat. That'd be a bit of a talking point at the school gate wouldn't it?!
I think these people are a class of their own, no offense to them but its not my cup of tea.
And that Pooh gear doesn't come cheap, either!
I also found out one of my colleagues is a Pooh person. She's in her 30s, and honestly, I just wouldn't have pegged her for a Pooh person.
If they were my relatives, crazy, I'd snurk at them.
Possibly openly, too.
I think it looks wanky.
I am not going to disneyland ever - even with my children.
But then I have a tee-shirt with a Dr.Seuss thing on so maybe I am wanky too.
(hey wouldn't it be great if we had a [wank] icon instead of the one - I would use it loads.)
crazy - thats wierd
Relatives of mine- in their 60's and grandparents- go to Disneyland every couple of years and rent out a huge 4/5 bed place with swimming pool. Aah, tha's nice isnt it to take the grandchildren? No- they have never, ever taken any of the dgc, they always go alone. On all the rides, meeting Mickey etc just the 2 of them. Then fly home - always first class- and tell their children and grandchildren all about it . Does anyone else find this odd?
I'm 34 btw & I know I'm sad.
I just don't care .
Oh and I've got a discworld t-shirt with the Nac Mac Feegle on it in a 'Trainspotting' pose which I will never ever give up. You can see the one I mean here .
lol at JARM being young and fat and stupid
I have another friend who went to Paris.
To go to Disneyland.
I made no comment.
But inside, I was snurking .
Talking of wierd things you keep in the freezer...
I was going to say arrested development when I remembered the Miffy top I had before I had children. I thought I looked pretty cute in it (this was years ago before miffy was cool again)can I get away with it if it's kitschy??
anyway I wouldn't wear it now. norks too big. miffy would look like the elephant man, not a good look for the Dutch bunny
other characters are fine
it's just Disney
we all know what a weirdo Walt was in his spare time
<sniggers...it worked...runs off again....>
pinkfluffy29, surely you meant 13 not 23?!?
Ummmm I'll just bin the skateboarder Goofy t-shirt shall I? And the Bagpuss top. And the Nightmare Before Christmas tote. And the giant hairy Chewbacca-head rucksack. Oh, and the Captain Caveman T.
I'm not making any of this up btw altho' in my defence the hairy head (!?!) was a gift from dh & dd1 & dd2 & was used once to please them then consigned to the top of the wardrobe.
I do still wear the Bagpuss top & would also wear the Captain Caveman top if it still fitted .
And the NBC bag is just cool - we've got Jack Skellington coasters on our dining table .
i live in essex and what makes me chuckle at the minute is the 14-17 year olds who wear fake tracksuits with sylvester or tweety pie on the back and leg wtf?? then they try and give attitude i cant help but snigger - soooooooooo cooooooooool!!!!
i think disney characters are ok for nightwear but over the age of 23 not for day wear. i used to have a fozzie and bagpuss rucksack and thought they were sooooo coool - in my 20's now dd has them to cuddle lol
who's worrying vvvvvv?
i am sitting by the phone waiting for an important call passing the time moaning about utter crap
OH to have so little to worry about.....
fed UP that should say
Grown women should never wear t-shirts with pictures on the front or for that matter t-shirts with writing on advertising the brand...So naff!
and i am fed with friends (mainly one CHILDLESS couple friends of ours) who go on holiday every year to disneyland
i would rather pluck my toenails out
Very strange indeed.
By all means get into the swing of things whilst in the actual park, but leave the cheeseball merchandise in your cupboard as a souvenier when you get home.
OH god I just knew this was going to be a Disney-Winnie-the-Pooh thing
It is very very odd
on many layers
I think one could just about get away with mickey mouse because he is so iconic and only when in the company of small children
Maybe he dresses up as Christopher Robin
No, she was for real. I was shocked. She just didn't seem the Pooh type, you know.
I just told her, 'Oh, that's lovely. I'm so glad you found each other.'
Then, when I went to the ladie's room, I start giggling like a maniac and it was all I could do to regain composure.
i also woul dlike to express my hatred of character MUGS
even with cutsey kittens or cartoons on
or wtf is it with next kitten t shirts with fake diamonds etc
I very very much agree. Several people where I work had bizarre 'pooh' related onsessions.
Urrrgh expat that's toe curling.
I can't bear it men treat their wives like ickle girls. Shudder.
Mmmm, the mind boggles...If a friend of mine bought me pyjamas with a disney character on them I'd laugh!
<groan> expat
i hope you are being sarcastic
A friend of mine, in her 40s, recently told me that what really made her fall in love with her now husband was when she had a bad cold and he came over and 'read her some Winnie the Pooh'.
I was just like, 'Oh, that's so sweet.'
im asking this becuase:-
FIL gave me 2 pairs of pyjamas for my birthday from La Senza, 1 pair with eeyore hte other with a teddy bear on
i am quite devastated.
i know its materialistic but i cant help it
Anyone remember this thread?
Someone once gave me some ginormous Mickey Mouse slippers after they'd visited Dinseyland. WHY?!
It looked like Mickey was trying to mate with your feet when you put them on. Bloody dangerous too; I fell over in them a couple of times. That, combined with the fact I looked a complete tit in them consigned them to the charity bag.
lol @ saggers mum
That must have been a moment of madness, Saggers. I think I would rather wear a pooh bear one.
i have a tinkerbell bag, when dh saw it he said
'thats a nice bag...........for an adult'
My mum, in a moment of madness, once bought herself a jumper with a kitchen scene appliquéed(sp?) onto it. It was almost as bad as a Disney motif.
My 27 yr old SIL is obsessed. But then she still lives in her childhood anyway
She sits on her dh's knee and likes to be patted, even when people are visiting. (I dont anymore) (visit that is, not sit on her dhs knee)
She has glass/porcelain pots, like honey jars. She has huge teddies in the spare room. She also has royal doulton with WTP on it. She can quite often be heard to shreik "Ohh I love Winnie The Pooh!!" When my kids were born she got them tigger outfits, which I give to the local hospital for sick children
She has no children of her own yet, but I fear the obsession will worsen when she does
Oh god yes MRM - met a guy once who had a giant forghorn leghorn on his calf (calve??)!!!
When I was around 25 I would wear quite tight fitting disney tops that I bought from Camden Market to go backpacking, I have no idea why I wouldn't be seen dead in them now. I don't get the whole adult obession with disney/cuddly toys either. I worked with a 50+ woman who was obsessed with Tigger, really weird. My very intelligent sensible 24 yrd old SIL got loads of winnie the pooh stuff for Christmas, why? I am a grumpy old sod though and lost my inner child years ago.
I never got the obesssion with winney the pooh, when Tigger is clearly much more cool. I think it depends on the character TBH.
But then again, I wear a batman watch (and have batman pjs). Do comic book heros count as sad?
Proud to be wearing my Piglet T-Shirt this morning.
<<<runs off to bin tigger t shirt!>>>
oh god yes lots of people have winnie the pooh tattoos dont they
i know someone who has a huge disney clothing collection
car ornments
keyrings (which she loops onto jeans)
its beyond me
Clothing is disgusting, but not as bad as Disney/other cartoon tattooes <<ducks for cover>>. I love tattooes, but why would anyone want a cartoon???
I have a tshirt with Tweety on the breast pocket... it says "small bird", which I am
i live in my eeyore dungarees when heavily pregnant - got them in america when i was fat and young and stupid
do you know these people actually concern me more than ones who swig juice in Tesco.
VERY sad
honestly, do you really think to yourself "oh i will look so fetching in that shapeless tee shirt with the disney motif"
sad methinks
I was quite upset when I got too fat for my eeyore top
i may not be sad, but i obviously cant type!
i have a tshirt with tigger on too, dont wear it very often but still wear it (although i'm not in my fifties!) does that ake mesad!?!
2shoes i DONT give a shit
im just mildly interested
its not as if they are cheap either, if from disney shop
you could get a pretty monsoon top for the same price
pet peev is the fleeces with winnie the pooh on it. embroidered. i ASK you...
no no no no.
don't do it.
put the character clothes, bags etc etc AWAY.
i have 2 with micky on them. Why? because dd loves them and so do I. It makes her smile
do I care that people think i am sad...................................no
I think it is sad that people give a shit
Because he/she is a grumpy git?
I have a t shirt with winnie the pooh on..pmsl..although it isnt obviously winnie the pooh..god with that and crocs I really am a MN no no arent I!!!!
I really rteally do not know why women in their fifties are obsessed with Winnie the Pooh.
It is SAD.
honestly, why would a grown adult wear a jumper with Eeyore on it

I really do like these kinds of games. I didn't think this was as good as a lot of the other games because it just seemed like the characters were too big. You needed more of a perspective on everything. Of course, it is pretty funny to be able to shoot each other at such close range. The game doesn't go on too long that way.
Pirates are just good things to use. Pity they don't have that image anymore with the stuff in Somalia. I think there could have been more detail in the background. Some of their beards appeared to be on fire. Is that typical for pirates?
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars March 9, 2010
Nothing new!
Very basic "worms" styled gameplay.
I can appreciate the creativity that goes into a project like this but unfortunately there is nothing new here. The look of the pirates gave me a smile but definately needs a little more variation.

About average I was looking for a different Pirate game with the same gameplay, this is not it. It´s okay but nothing special.

Real Name
Tevita Fifita
Date of Birth
May 7, 1983
Place of Birth
After winning the WWE tag team championship from Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, the Usos decided to pay tribute to their fallen uncle. Through Twitter, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso posted this special message and picture about Umaga, who is the younger brother of their father Rikishi.
March 5, 2014
During the start of the latest episode of WWE Main Event, there was a quick mention about the death of Big Daddy V. The company also added a quick tribute to the upcoming episode of Smackdown as well. Still no official word as to why the company purposely neglected to throw up a quick memorial during Monday Night Raw this week.
February 27, 2014
While a lot of people backstage were confused by the company refusing to acknowledge his death on Monday Night Raw, it appears that WWE will be doing a quick video tribute to Big Daddy V at the beginning of Smackdown. Management did not want to alert the mainstream media of another early death in the industry.
February 27, 2014
WWE received some criticism from the fans last night because they did not put more of an emphasis on their tribute to Mae Young, whose death last week saddened the wrestling world. More feathers will be ruffled, as management has opted to remove the video completely from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw.
January 21, 2014
"Once again, HONORED to be included in the Mae Young tribute video tonight on Monday Night Raw. So much respect for her and proud to be in same ring."
- Bully Ray
January 20, 2014
While a lot of fans have already forgotten about him, a few still wonder about his whereabouts and status within WWE. It turns out that Camacho is still with the company, as he worked a WWE NXT television taping this week. He lost to Adrian Neville. His partner, Hunico, frequently works under the mask as the new Sin Cara, for those that are not aware.
March 2, 2014
Tamina Snuka posted a picture of herself having dinner with the Usos and Camacho.
November 14, 2013
Hunico and Camacho returned to WWE and taped a match for the Main Event.

Richard Steven Hack • March 7, 2011 4:06 PM "Not only that Bruce doesn't review comments on his blog, he doesn't even take courtesy to review his own posts." You've obviously never been to Matt Yglesias' political blog. Compared to him, Bruce is a model blogger. By the way, to champion Bruce, I'm adding him to the pantheon of the Tao of Bruce. What is that, you say? The Tao of Bruce is the philosophy that whenever you don't know what to do, you ask: What would Bruce do? Bruce Wayne. Bruce Lee. Bruce Campbell. And now I've added Bruce Schneier to that pantheon of Modern Masters. BF Skinner • March 7, 2011 4:33 PM So they're citing "Specifically, Section 6 of the National Security Agency Act of 1959, Public Law 86-36 (50 U.S.C. § 402 note) protects NSA/Central Security Service (CSS) functions and activities as well as the names fNSA/CSS employees from disclosure."

Still "Oliver North, an obscure Marine lieutenant colonel" Richard Steven Hack • March 7, 2011 4:38 PM Offtopic in this thread, but... At Least 27 Honolulu TSA Officers Under Probe Quotes Baggage there was supposed to be opened up and checked for traces of explosives, but sources said many pieces of luggage were never checked. In some cases, TSA agents simply marked suitcases as having been screened when those checked bags had not been checked at all, according to people familiar with the investigation. Sources said baggage checked on nine daily morning departures from Lobby 4 were not properly screened, a situation that could have lasted as long as four months, meaning thousands of suitcases went unchecked. TSA spokesman Nico Melendez released a statement to KITV 4 News that said the agency "is taking appropriate disciplinary action against several TSA officers following an extensive investigation into allegations of improper screening." "We took immediate action [4 months later - My Note] and none of the personnel accused have been conducting screening duties since the allegations were made," Melendez said. [Have they been fired? - My Note] "TSA is proud to hold our workforce to the highest ethical standards and will not tolerate a deviation from the commitment to carry out our mission to protect the traveling public." The TSA said the problems should be put in perspective because they happened at one of Honolulu airport's 12 baggage security screening areas and the 27 or so TSA employees under investigation make up a small fraction of the agency's 750 employees in Honolulu. [I'm so relieved - my note] Sources close to the investigation said two Honolulu TSA employees tipped off officials to the problems, starting the probe, which has lasted two months. [It took 2 months to prove what should have been visually obvious in 2 minutes? - My note.] One source close to the investigation said TSA managers were unaware of the screening deficiencies because TSA officers would always do their screening work properly when management was present. [DUH! Has the TSA never heard of undercover investigators? - My Note] But TSA employees point out two shift supervisors were in the lobby all the time and they had to know that checked bags were not going through the proper screening. [Roh-Roh! - My Note] The TSA has been using overtime to cover the shifts of the accused employees who've been removed from screening duties during the investigation for the past two months, sources said. [More of your tax dollars - My Note] They've continued to be paid and have reported to work in their uniforms but have been doing "non-screening duties," according to Melendez. ["Effectively", I'm sure. - My Note] End Quotes Richard Steven Hack • March 7, 2011 5:18 PM This one is fun! "Mobile strip search" vehicles!

Color reproduction
Here you can see a generated GretagMacbeth ColorChecker chart. Place your mouse over any of the labels below it to see the color reproduction in that mode. Select a camera/setting combination from the 'Compared to' drop-down to comparative boxes inside each patch.
The 1D Mark IV offers the same Picture Styles image parameter presets that have been a feature of the EOS range for several generations.
Canon EOS-1D Mark IV | Compare to: |
Standard | Portrait | Landscape | Neutral |
Faithful | Monochrome | AdobeRGB |
Artificial light White Balance
As is usually the case with Canon DSLRs, the White Balance performance is acceptable, rather than great. As we've said before, that assessment depends on whether you believe the aim of white balancing is to completely or only partially correct for the original light source. There are aesthetic arguments for the second approach but we believe white balance should do what the name implies and balance the three color channels to render whites as white, particularly when you chose a preset and specify what type of lighting you're trying to correct for.
If you do want the camera to retain some of the 'mood' or the original shooting situation then the Canon does a better job under incandescent light than under fluorescents. The Auto white balance setting leaves a rather unpleasant yellow/green tinge in images shot under our fluorescent lights, which is unlikely to represent the way most people would remember the scene.
The 1D Mark IV doesn't have a built-in flash but can make use of Canon's Speedlite range of external flashguns. In our portrait shot we found the results to be a fraction under-exposed (shot directly) but generally the flash performance was pretty good.
Overall Image Quality / Specifics
The EOS-1D Mark IV's JPEGs have a distinctive, sharpened look and it's hard not to be impressed with both the color and the detail that they convey. The high ISO performance is more than a match for the 1D Mark III's, even at a pixel level, giving greater freedom to crop when you're shooting subjects moving too fast to guarantee perfect composition every time.
However the high resolution, combined with the very precise focus requirements of the kinds of work it's likely to be put to present a problem - you will see every flaw in your lenses. Even the slightest hint of mis-focus or any imperfections in optical performance are described in high detail. As a result of going out and shooting the 1D Mark IV we found more than one of our lenses is in need of a little attention.
The other obvious issue with the 1D Mark IV is that, unusually for Canon, its highest ISO setting appears to be a little beyond its capabilities. At any noise reduction setting the JPEG output from ISO 102,400 is almost unusable with large amounts of chroma noise, including large, hard-to-remove blotches. Processing from RAW does little to resolve this problem, with the noise reduction options in both Adobe Camera Raw and Canon's Digital Photo Professional both making little dent in the noise levels. Even judicious use of NR and downsizing are not enough to produce an attractive image.
Canon's rather polite take on this is that: 'When you need the photo, and image quality is not the primary concern, you can get images with these ultra-high ISO speed settings that would not have been possible with previous cameras.' And, while this is true, D3S users will get significantly better results, and there's a limit to the 'anything is good if it lets me get the shot' argument if the probability of a customer accepting the results fall too low (which we think might be the case in this instance).
Ultimately, though, the 1D Mark IV performs well enough in low light that we were able to comfortably shoot sports in light requiring ISO 25,600, and that's not a sentence we can write about many cameras.
The 1D Mark IV has Canon's usual rather enthusiastic metering, tending towards bright images but with the constant risk of losing highlight detail. We found we preferred shooting with -1/3EV exposure compensation much of the time. Engaging Highlight Tone priority is also a pretty effective solution.

Former Houston receiver Patrick Edwards has settled his lawsuit over breaking his leg when he ran into a metal cart during a 2008 game at Marshall.
His attorney, S. Scott West, on Monday told KRIV-TV in Houston that details of the settlement are confidential. At Marshall, president's chief of staff Matt Turner said the university's share has yet to be determined because the settlement is not yet final.
Edwards in 2010 sued Marshall, Conference USA and a referee in a negligence lawsuit filed in West Virginia.
Edwards suffered a compound fracture and had to have a rod inserted in his lower right leg. He alleged the playing field was unsafe when he ran into a metal service cart parked just beyond the end zone.
Marshall defeated the Cougars 37-23 on Oct. 29, 2008, a Tuesday night game aired on ESPN. It was the best game of the season for the Thundering Herd, but the Edwards incident marred the effort.
In the third quarter, Edwards went toward the end zone on a long pass route against MU cornerback DeQuan Bembry, but Case Keenum overthrew him. Their momentum carried them past the end zone, where Bembry hurdled the cart but Edwards collided. Replays drew pained groaning in the Joan C. Edwards Stadium press box.
The south end zone at Edwards Stadium is close to the hillside sloping down from the bleachers, so close that a dotted line 12 feet from the field on all sides cannot be drawn. No outside objects or unauthorized personnel are allowed inside that restraining line - and therefore between the south end zone and hillside.
Game officials have broad authority to stop the game to enforce that and other safety rules. Referee Gil Gelbke led the Conference USA-assigned crew.
The cart that was left behind the end zone belonged to Marshall's Marching Thunder band. Then-athletic director Bob Marcum said carts had been parked near the field in similar fashion for two years without incident, but made sure the carts were relocated well off an adjacent sideline.

Hispanic voters in the United States are projected to surpass whites and other non-Hispanics in the coming decade, according to Pew Research.
Between 2012 and 2030, Pew predicts, "Hispanics will account for 40 percent of the growth of the eligible electorate in the U.S."
Pew, one of the top polling organizations in the world -- and one of the most highly regarded research groups among Hispanic scholars -- offers the growth projection through its Hispanic Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data, Election Day exit polls and "a new nationwide survey of Hispanics."
Alluding to the tectonic shift in favor of Hispanic voters over the next 18 years, Pew refers to the "ascendant ethnic voting bloc" as a generational movement. Pew Hispanic Center researchers cite several reasons for the dramatic rise in Hispanic voters, including an increase in immigration to the U.S. of Hispanics over the past decade.
Coupled with pending citizenship status for hundreds of thousands of Hispanics under the Obama administration's recently announced amnesty program for individuals under the age of 30 who were born to illegal immigrants but have no criminal records, Pew's numbers may represent conservative estimates.
Pew singles out youth as the most important factor cited in the survey, titled An Awakened Giant: The Hispanic Electorate Is Likely to Double by 2030.
"Hispanics are by far the nation's youngest ethnic group," Pew researchers stated. "Their median age is 27 years -- and just 18 years among native-born Hispanics -- compared with 42 years for that of white non-Hispanics."
The 2012 presidential and congressional election saw record levels of Hispanic voters participating in polling across the U.S., not just in the Southwest, Florida and California, but also in key urban centers in the Northeast, including Chicago, Philadelphia and New York City, which Democrats have traditionally relied upon to deliver key blocs of African-American minority voters; see Hispanic Population in Select U.S. Metropolitan Areas, 2010.
Pew estimates that "45 percent of the nation's Hispanic population lives in just 10 metropolitan areas and over 76 percent live in 60 of the largest Hispanic metropolitan areas" in the U.S.
Obama Courts Puerto Rico Support
President Obama aggressively courted Hispanics in the latter stages of his re-election campaign, at one point making an impromptu visit to Puerto Rico to pronounce the importance of the U.S.-Hispanic vote to his bid for a second term in the White House.
Prior to Barack Obama's visit to Puerto Rico, some pollsters questioned the wisdom of allocating valuable time from his campaign to an island that is not among the 50 states. Obama was the first sitting president to travel to Puerto Rico since John F. Kennedy made an official visit in 1961, the year Obama was born. The visit paid off, not only for Obama's re-election bid, but for Puerto Ricans seeking to ratify statehood.
Pointing to the significance of Puerto Rico's ballot initiative when he visited the island last summer, Obama promised to support whatever decision Puerto Rican voters felt was in their collective best interest.
Two weeks ago, 61 percent of Puerto Ricans voted in favor of statehood, a process that will require considerable vetting and approval from Congress. However, the outcome of Puerto Rico's historic statehood vote could have a dramatic impact on future presidential elections and the electoral process. With nearly 4 million voters living in Puerto Rico, Pew estimates an additional 4.6 million U.S. voters identify as having Puerto Rican origins. Many of those voters live in Miami, Chicago and New York City, which Obama won easily.
For his part, the president kept his 2008 promise to return to Puerto Rico.
"Although my hair is a little grayer than during my first visit," Obama told a crowd of supporters when he visited in June 2012, as reported by the BBC, "I am glad to be able to keep that promise to the people of Puerto Rico."
He added during the brief campaign side-trip that if Puerto Ricans should choose to make a "clear decision" on statehood, his administration would "stand by" them; see Barack Obama pledges support in rare Puerto Rico visit.
Pew: Young to Vote in Coming Years
Promises are important to Hispanics, and young adults -- both demographics are rising in political importance and voting prominence, according to Pew.
"If the national exit poll's estimate proves correct that 10 percent of all voters this year were Hispanic," Pew stated in its survey summary, "it would mean that as many as 12.5 million Hispanics cast ballots" in the 2012 presidential election.
Pew researchers point out that an estimated 40 million Hispanics in the U.S. did not vote or were ineligible to vote in 2012 because they are too young. Given that an estimated 11.2 million adult Hispanics did not vote this year, simple calculations deduce that 28 million Hispanic youth are living in the U.S. who will potentially be eligible to vote over the next 18 years.
That's a lot of promise for the current commander-in-chief and future presidents to keep in mind.

Kmart cuts its losses during September
By Don Hogsett -- Home & Textiles Today, 10/28/2002 12:00:00 AM
Working its way through a painful bankruptcy and restructuring, giant Kmart Corp. posted a $176 million loss during September. And while same-store sales continue to decline, the trend line is clearly improving, and the dips are growing smaller, as new merchandising programs kick in.
Still on the downturn, September same-store sales fell by 6.9 percent, but the rate of decline has slowed substantially since the summer doldrums. And the September results were a big improvement over an 11.9 percent drop recorded the month before, and an even steeper skid of 13.8 percent in July. Same-store sales hit their lowest point of the year during April, plunging by 16.4 percent.
Putting the September number into further perspective, the 6.9 percent decline marks a real improvement over the average monthly decline of 11 percent since the company filed for Chapter 11 protection from its creditors in January.
And things are looking somewhat better going forward. Same-store sales are expected to improve modestly in October, the retailer said in a conference call, with customers spending more on average. "While we certainly don't want to celebrate too early here, I believe that the improving sales trend and average ticket may be an indication we're getting back some market share," said Julian Day, president and coo. "We continue to expect a modest improvement in the same-store sales trend over the next few months."
In even more encouraging news, Kmart said it's on a fast track to emerge from bankruptcy and expects to emerge from Chapter 11 by July 2003.
The September loss was almost 40 percent wider than the month-before deficit of $126 million, due in large part to weaker margins and higher costs. Average gross margin narrowed to 14.7 percent from 18.0 percent in August, while costs climbed higher to 23.8 percent of sales, up from 22.8 percent the preceding month.

Whisperzz Dec 19, 2008 To OKC administration. In the last hour I took the profile pictures
of 7 people posting on your forums and I ran them through a web
picture matching site. I found two pictures that were obviously
stolen from other websites. That's 2 out of 7. Imagine if I checked
20 more? You probably have a small group here that is making many
fake profiles just to f**k with people. If you (OKC administration) send my profile a message I will send you the names of the fake profiles and the URL's of the sites with the matching pictures. I can also tell you of a few others that I'm pretty sure are fake. I suspect you can find most the fakes on your own just by looking at IP addresses of the profiles. You'll see some IP addresses with many profiles I suspect. I know new computer software can even detect proxies. I also know that people who unplug and replug modems still have IP addresses within a very limited range. Yea, we have computer classes in college, even for us women. As for my realness. If you (admin) send me a message I will give you my home phone number and you can get the information about the fakes from me live. Do you even care? I made the forum post because I wanted to get your attention and I don't think you read the notes sent to your "contact us" link. As for my motivation. I'm a student on break and the weather is keeping me inside so I figured I would out some of those sad pathetic guys that like to pretend they are women in order to get their sexual jollies. I'm going to keep exposing fakes just for fun. :-) | |

Supporting Our Troops, Safeguarding our Future
For Immediate Release: July 7, 2006 Contact: Josh Holly (202) 225-2539
The National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2007:
Supporting Our Troops, Safeguarding our Future
By: U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), chairman of the
As our nation enters the fifth year of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), our military continues to confront multiple threats around the world and Congress has supported them each step of the way. During this past week alone, the global community was alarmed by 's provocative missile launches, 's continued defiance of international nuclear agreements and the takeover of the capital of
In contrast, countries that have known only years of civil war and despotic rule have held landmark democratic elections. Formerly shrouded by the Taliban's strict fundamentalism, today is rebuilding its society and infrastructure.
These successes are not without cost. This year's annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) authorizes $512.5 billion to fund ongoing military operations and to ensure that American warfighters in and
Our men and women in uniform are 's most valuable assets and keeping them safe remains the top priority. H.R. 5122 provides improved capabilities to counter improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and authorizes an increase of $109.7 million to fund counter IED measures. The legislation also includes an initiative to take back the roads in
The NDAA also reflects the House Armed Services Committee's (HASC) efforts to improve personnel benefits and quality of life initiatives for 's military. The legislation includes a 2.7 percent pay increase for all members of the armed forces and blocks the Department of Defense's (DOD) proposed fee increases to TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Standard beneficiaries. The measure also completes the transition to full coverage for Selected Reserve personnel, and provides for generic and formulary prescriptions through the TRICARE mail order pharmacy at no cost to military beneficiaries.
As part of our continued oversight of DOD programs, this year the HASC focused on ensuring that we don't fund future systems on the back of the current force. Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom have placed severe demands on air and ground equipment, and their "reset" – the maintenance, replacement or repair of the worn and damaged equipment – has been funded through supplemental appropriations which may not receive future funding due to budgetary restraints.
Army Chief of Staff General Peter J. Schoomaker testified before our committee recently and highlighted the underfunding of our investment accounts and consequent equipment shortages. Drawing a historical parallel, he stated, "At the height of the Second World War, defense expenditures exceeded 38 percent of our Gross Domestic Product. Today, they amount to 3.8 percent and are projected to shrink…. In this extraordinarily dangerous time for the nation, we can – and must – reverse this trend."
Current readiness is also impacted by the escalating costs of military weapons platforms. For example, the committee has raised concerns about the Army's funding of the Future Combat System (FCS) and modularity while simultaneously trying to address the reset needs outlined above. Therefore, H.R. 5122 cuts the FCS program by $325 million to stem the spiraling costs of the program and builds on the successes of the Nunn-McCurdy enhancements enacted last year by directing the DOD to develop and implement significant reforms.
The Senate has passed its version of the NDAA, and conferees are now meeting to iron out differences between the two measures. I am encouraged by recent statements from my counterpart in the Senate, Chairman Warner, who announced his intent to move the legislation swiftly to ensure that our warfighters receive without delay the funding, equipment and support necessary to complete their operations. The men and women who are on the frontlines securing our freedoms deserve no less.

Kershaw County residents alerted about the danger of rabies | Health
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Three Kershaw County residents are currently are under the care of a physician, after being scratched by a cat that tested positive for rabies, the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control said on Tuesday.
"The incident began June 16th in a rural part of the county north of Camden when a woman found a kitten under her vehicle," said Sue Ferguson of DHEC's Bureau of Environmental Health. "She and two of her children were scratched while handling the kitten."
Ferguson said once the rabies virus reaches the brain, the disease is fatal to humans and animals, so the woman and the two children are undergoing the preventive inoculations.
According to Ferguson, anyone bitten, scratched or otherwise exposed to the saliva of a rabid animal must seek medical attention immediately.
"Avoid wild animals acting tame and tame animals acting wild," Ferguson said. "About 400 South Carolinians must undergo preventive treatment for rabies every year, with most exposures from being bitten or scratched by a rabid or suspected rabid animal. Wild animals carry the disease most often, but domestic pets can contract rabies as well.
"Therefore, to protect both the pets and their owners, we strongly encourage residents to make sure their pets are regularly vaccinated against the disease. State law requires that all pets be vaccinated against rabies.
"If you think you have been exposed to the rabies virus through a bite, scratch or the saliva of a possibly infected animal, immediately wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water," she said. "Then be sure to get medical attention and report the incident to DHEC."
This is the third confirmed rabid animal in Kershaw County in 2011. Last year, there were two rabid animals confirmed in the county, both were raccoons. In 2010, there were 106 confirmed cases of rabies in animals in South Carolina. So far this year, there have been 44 confirmed cases in animals in the state.
For more information about rabies, see DHEC's Web page at: http://www.scdhec.gov, click on the A-Z list, select "R," then click on rabies or contact DHEC's Kershaw County Environmental Health Office at (803) 425-6051. The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Web page about rabies can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/rabies.

Everyone knows they need to eat more fruits and vegetables, but consuming even the minimum FDA-recommended five servings a day can be challenging. In Green for Life, raw foods pioneer Victoria Boutenko presents an overlooked powerhouse of nutrition in this equation: greens. For their bounty of minerals and nutrients, greens exceed other vegetables in value. Green for Life details the immense health benefits of greens and suggests an easy way to consume them in sufficient quantities: the green smoothie. This quick, simple drink benefits everyone, regardless of lifestyle, diet, or environment. Green smoothies eliminate toxins, correct nutritional deficiencies, and are delicious as well.
Green for Life includes the latest information on the abundance of protein in greens, the benefits of fiber, the role of greens in homeostasis, the significance of stomach acid, how greens make the body more alkaline, the healing power of chlorophyll, and more. Also included are the results of a pilot study demonstrating the effectiveness of adding just one quart of green smoothies a day to one's diet, without changing anything else in dietary intake. Green smoothie testimonials and recipes give readers confidence and motivation in exploring green smoothies for themselves. This updated edition offers important new research on the role that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play in metabolic health and includes nutritional data on select green smoothies and updated findings on organic versus conventional produce. Offering more in-depth nutritional and experiential information than Boutenko's recently released Green Smoothie Revolution, Green for Life makes an ideal companion piece to its recipe-rich successor.
