Piazza Santo Spirito
50125 Florence
Oltrarno, Florence –
A charming square with lots of personality – and refreshingly removed from the main tourist areas – Piazza Santo Spirito is a popular hangout for Italians of all ages.
What differentiates this square from others in the city is the more bohemian crowd it attracts and that generally gathers on the steps of the basilica to enjoy gelato, pizza, and some good conversation among friends.
Adding to the laid-back atmosphere are the wandering street musicians who entertain the passersby and get together for spontaneous jam sessions and performances.
Café culture is also alive and well in Santo Spirito, as evidenced by the numerous cozy cafés and bars that surround the square and offer a diverse selection of food and beverages.
And if visitors prefer strolling to lounging, Piazza Santo Spirito is also home to a lovely park full of towering old trees and featuring a marble stage and an octagonal fountain that gently flows throughout the evening.
Artistic and bohemian types and international students, early 20s+.
Live music most nights, tends to be light and jazzy.
Several nearby bars, cafés, and eateries serve sandwiches, pizza, and gelato.
Varies depending on venue.
Any summer evening.

Sure, the area around Piazza Santa Croce is a happening spot by night with its plethora of bars and high student population. Yes, the Duomo is a nice area due to its proximity to most of the major nightclubs in the city. Ok, Piazzale Michelangelo has breathtaking views of the city.
But if you want to see what Florence is really like, away from the throngs of tour groups and money-belts, you must venture to the little square across the Arno river called Piazza Santo Spirito. Better at night when the scores of Italian and foreign students adorn the steps of the church, Piazza Santo Spirito captures the essence of Italian life. The Piazza has a life on to its own. Not to mention, the restaurants, cafes, and bars here are some of the best in the city. Want the best pizza in town? Go to Gusta Pizza. How about a fabulous aperitivo? Calibra or Pop Cafe are the places to go. Hip bar like you would find in NYC? Volume is calling your name. Delicious restaurant? Borgo Antico. However, one of the most fun things to do is just grab a few bottles of wine before and sit on the steps, drinking it with friends, chatting another beautiful day in Florence that has passed by, and watching calm, yet warm night scene of Piazza Santo Spirito, its charming character, seduce you like it has done to so many before.
One night in Piazza Santo Spirito is required for all those who are visiting and/or living in Florence. The tourist menus at restaurants and hip hop playing nightclubs can wait.

Piazza Santo Spirito has it all. During the day go for a visit inside of the Chiesa di Santo Spirito, one of Florence's best-kept secrets. The church is fairly plain on the outside but the beautiful frescoes inside are well worth the visit. After stopping to admire the church, grab a seat outside and have un café at one of the many cafés in the piazza; my favorite is Volume. At night the square comes alive with young locals who enjoy the many bars located in the area.

I was fortunate enough to spend three months studying in Florence. Where were my classes held but in Piazza Santo Spirito. This little square on the far side of the Arno River from the city center and I became well acquainted, more so than many of my fellow students to be quite honest (my morning class hours were longer therefore I had less time to wander before afternoon sessions).
It is unlike other squares I experienced in the city. Less touristy, yet many shop owners still speak moderate English. But beyond that fact, it makes one feel as if they are a part of Italian culture. Tiny coffee shops are spread throughout the square (yes, it is literally a square). In the center is a quaint little fountain with a few benches and trees that provide moderate shade from the hot sun. The Osteria and Trattoria that bear the squares name are also quite delicious, if a bit pricey (for dinner anyway). One can choose to eat outdoors or in depending on the weather but either choice welcomes a more "Italian" feel than other restaurants that reside towards the center, more touristy areas.
The square is also in an ideal location if one wishes to wander. The surrounding maze of side streets leads to all sorts of interesting shops, bakeries, food stands, etc - including my favorite breakfast place right around the corner from the Osteria! Although the square may be difficult to find, I recommend walking through and enjoying a meal on a sunny day (or a rainy one, as I had many and they were just as fun!). The evenings, the coffee shops turn into aperitifs and a drink before wandering on the town is always welcome! Enjoy Firenze

Just on the other side of the Arno is the quiet Piazza Santo Spirito. If you are looking for a less touristic part of the city, look no further. Here in the Piazza you can get a small sense of true Florentine lifestyle as you listen to the locals jabber in Italian and watch their kids or dogs run around the square. Also in the evening, you may be lucky enough to find some live music in the center of the square.

I try and find places that aren't swarmed with American college students. I want to use my Italian, meet locals, and Piazza Santo Spirito is the place. It is a relaxed but fun vibe, a number of bars and restaurants. It's also not uncommon for people to be entertaining themselves on the steps of the church- a must do for an evening in Florence! Definitely check out Volume on a Friday or Saturday night.

I always get this one mixed up with the Croce square across the river but this one's the cooler one. The people here are more relaxed. Its a nice blend of tourists and young Italians, and the Italian men aren't as creepy here, they're more interested in having a good evening than trying to pull the foreign girls. There are some nice bars on this square and its nice as a place to pass the evening. Its also nice to sit on the church steps and watch the locals play music and chat. I don't speak Italian but its easy to tell what they're saying coz they use their hands a lot.

I sing the praises of this Piazza to anyone who will listen. There's a panini shop next to Santo Spirito that makes cheap, mouthwatering paninis, there's a café/ bar that I spent almost every weekend when I was in Florence, there's a selection of sketchy characters, study abroads, and local Italians at the university who give the Piazza an unpretentious, laid-back feel. There are almost always musicians playing on the steps in front of the church, and there are always people drinking wine out of bottled containers in the center of the piazza. I love this place.

Some of my favorite restaurants are in the area, and it's a great nighttime environment especially on warm summer nights when a movie is playing outside. It's a better spot in the warmer months because of all the outdoor seating from restaurants and the church steps, but the piazza stays pretty lively even when the temperature starts to drop. The area is a great place to start your night by grabbing dinner, then hanging out on the church steps with a bottle of wine before heading down to Dolce Vita or across the river for a livelier bar and club scene.

They had even given me a nickname. I was well cared for & had a blankie like every other dog there. I would highly recommend rescuing a dog from there. |

Day seven: 430 killed, over 2,200 injured since Saturday
Published Friday 02/01/2009 11:00
Gaza - Ma'an - On the seventh day of a weeklong assault on Gaza, new Israeli attacks killed and maimed about 60 people by Friday evening. Nine died, including five children.
Meanwhile, Israeli sources reported that about 20 rockets were fired targeting sites in the western Negev. One injury was reported there.
Two Palestinians, a man and a woman, were killed and 20 others injured in a strike by Israeli forces on Friday evening in central Gaza. Twenty others were injured.
Local witnesses said that 22-year-old Tahani A'yesh was killed, while five of her family members suffered injuries in the Israeli shelling attack on her home near the area of Juhr Ad-Deek, east of Al-Bureij Refugee Camp in central Gaza.
Another Palestinian was killed when Israel's air force targeted a civilian car, passing over a bridge in the Gaza Valley, which is in the south. Three others were injured in that attack and were transferred to Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital.
Ten others were injured after a number of airstrikes targeted the home of I'mad A'gel, a senior leader within the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
Several other places of business were struck, as well, particularly in An-Nuseirat Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Sixteen out of the 30 killed in Israeli airstrikes since New Year's Eve were children; nine were from the same family and nine of the adults killed were women.
Fifty-seven percent of Palestinians killed so far in 2009 have been children.
On Friday the bodies of the Rayan family children were buried, and Palestinian medical sources confirmed the deaths of three more Palestinians under 17 years old.
Seven Palestinians have been killed since midnight Thursday, bringing the death toll to 430 and the injured to 2,220 on day seven of the Israeli operation.
The day's strikes were reported as follows:
2:45pm One of the children killed Friday was from the Al-Astal family. He was playing outside his home in the Al-Qararra neighborhood when a shell hit the area.
2:30pm At An-Nuseirat Refugee Camp, the Israeli army targeted the home of Imad A'qel, a prominent leader of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas. His home was destroyed but no injuries were reported.
2:15pm Three Palestinians were killed in an airstrike on Al-Qarara village in southern Gaza.
2:00pm Shells landed on the home of Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades leader in the central Gaza Strip.
1:15pm 20 year-old Fadi Shebat was killed in Israeli shelling at Beit Hanoun.
1:00pm 15-year-old Hammad Mesbeh was killed by Israeli shells in Gaza City. Medical sources in the Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that Hammad was killed by shrapnel from an Israeli missile strike fired from a pilotless drone. His body was difficult to identify because it arrived to the hospital in pieces.
12:10pm Gazans crowded Jabaliya streets in a public outcry against the Israeli killing of Hamas leader Nizar Rayan and 15 family members on Thursday.
12:00pm Shells fell on Der Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
10:30am One dead, several injured as Israeli missiles land on a home in Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip. 6-year-old Christine At-Turk was killed in the strike.
10:00am Foad Al-Matuq was killed and four were injured after Israeli shells hit an empty home in Jabalia Refugee Camp in the northern Gaza Strip. Shelling targeted the home of Nabil Matuq, Fouad's brother. The home was also demolished.
9:00am Missile strikes in residential areas across the Gaza Strip were reported.
7:00am Israeli missiles targeted the homes of two Hamas members at Al-Bureij Refugee Camp near Gaza City. The strikes left homes totally demolished, as well as several buildings in the area. One of the damaged homes belonged to Jamal Ad-Durrah, the father of Muhammad Ad-Durrah, whose death at the hands of Israeli gunfire was caught on film in the now iconic image of the young boy cowering behind his father as they hide behind an oil drum in the face of Israeli fire.
6:45am Two homes in Rafah were bombed, injuring six people.
6:30am Israeli shelling targeted a house in the Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood, west of Gaza City.
6:00am Israeli shelling hit the Caliphates' Mosque in Jabalia Refugee Camp, injuring four Palestinians.
5:45am Thousands of birds were killed when Israeli fire targeted a farm in Gaza City.

Mark dealt hysterically with a series of bizarre hecklers, tailored his act to Birmingham and Brummies and was sharply satirical as you would expect. Hannah from Birmingham

Serbia and Montenegro | 0 | 0 |
Azerbaijan | 1 | 0 |
Azerbaijan 0-2 Italy
Italy emerged triumphant from a potentially tricky EURO 2004™ encounter in the Azerbaijani capital Baku.
Superb strike
An own goal from Tarlan Akhmedov and a superb free-kick by Juventus FC striker Alessandro Del Piero ensured that the Azzurri took all three points and went some way towards banishing memories of their controversial FIFA World Cup elimination at the hands of the Korean Republic.
Comfortable win
Although the final margin of victory was comfortable enough, it took Italy a while to get into their stride, and the home side created a number of half-chances, but lacked the class to really threaten their opponents.
New-look lineup
Francesco Coco replaced the now-retired Paolo Maldini at left-back, while coach Giovanni Trappatoni answered those who criticised his defensive tactics by fielding an attacking trident of Christian Vieri, Filippo Inzaghi and Del Piero. Initially, Italy seemed unsure of their new-look line-up, wasting a number of opportunities and consistently over-hitting long balls into the penalty area.
Worthy winners
However, once the early jitters were overcome, Italy were always in control and ran out worthy winners. In the 25th minute, Christian Panucci's free-kick was met by Inzaghi, whose powerful downward header beat Dmitriy Kramarenko but came back off a post.
Defensive blunder
However, seven minutes later, Italy did take the lead. Following a powerful burst down the right by AS Roma's Damiano Tommasi, his low ball into the penalty area was cut out by Akmedov, but the luckless central defender only succeeded in diverting the ball past his own goalkeeper to hand Italy an unexpected bonus.
Growing confidence
Italy grew in confidence following the goal, and they kept possession for the next few minutes. However, Azerbaijan came back, but the Italian defence were able to scramble away the half-chances that were created and the away side went in at the interval with their tails up.
Spectacular strike
The home team came out with a renewed sense of purpose, and enjoyed their first real period of sustained pressure without ever threatening to get back on level terms. The result was put beyond all doubt in the 62nd minute, when Inzaghi was brought down around 25 metres from goal and Del Piero gleefully seized his chance, spectacularly curling an unstoppable effort into the top right-hand corner of the net.
In control
From that point, Italy never looked likely to relinquish control, with Inzaghi having another goal disallowed for handball, before being replaced by Andrea Pirlo, who came on to win his first cap following a glittering career in the Under-21 side. His presence illustrates the embarrassment of riches which Trapattoni enjoys up front, a strength in depth that should be good enough to ensure the Azzurri qualify from Group 9 with something to spare.
Satisfied in defeat
Despite the defeat, Azerbaijan coach Vagyf Sadygov pronounced himself satifsied, saying: "I am satisfied how the game went. It is unlucky to concede an own goal, but no goalkeeper in the world could have saved the second goal."
Playing under pressure
In contrast, his counterpart was happy with the result but not with how his team played. "It was important to make a good start in this campaign," said Trapattoni. "In the first half, we had problems going forward through the middle. The players were under tremendous pressure. After a rather lucky opening goal, we improved in the second half and deserved to win."

Today, at the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month of 2011, we pause to honor America's Veterans and celebrate their contributions to our way of life. Few have given more to our nation than the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces in peace and in war.
Generation after generation—from Bunker Hill and Bennington to Baghdad and Abbottabad—protected, defended, and preserved the principles and ideals that define our democracy.
Across that remarkable sweep of history, today's America was shaped at Lexington and Concord, Antietam and Gettysburg, in the skies over Midway, on the beaches of Normandy, in winter's grip at Chosin Reservoir, in the heat of Ia Drang Valley, from the Persian Gulf into Afghanistan and Iraq by those who wore our nation's uniforms.
More than 22 million living veterans today embody our exceptional character and values as a people — each a line in our nation's history, but together many chapters towards today's future.
The Department of Veterans Affairs fulfills its obligation to serve veterans, their families, and survivors of the fallen by living a set of core values defining who we are as an organization: Integrity, Commitment, Advocacy, Respect, and Excellence—I CARE. Veterans trust that we will live these values, every day, in our medical facilities, our benefits offices, and our national cemeteries. And VA is committed to serving them. We are privileged to provide the very best in compassionate and quality care and services, delivered by our more than 300,000 employees. As we honor and celebrate the contributions of all of our nation's veterans, we take special pride in those veterans who work here at VA — more than 100,000 of us — bringing to our mission the skills, knowledge, attributes, experiences, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of our fellow veterans. Take a moment and visit VA's Flicker site to see our photographs and snapshots from earlier times in uniform. You can access those photos today at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/VeteransAffairs/sets/72157627830104759/
I am privileged to join all my VA colleagues in saluting the service and honoring the sacrifices of the special men and women who walk the halls of our hospitals and clinics, offices and Vet Centers each day. God bless our veterans. And may God continue to bless this wonderful country of ours.
• Shinseki is the U.S. Secretary of Veteran Affairs

Healthy Eating: Influences on Eating Behavior - Topic Overview
Being aware of the factors that influence what and how much you eat can help you make informed eating choices.
Food is everywhere. For most people, it is easy to find something to eat, especially unhealthy options.
Routines. Plan to eat, and make family meals routine. Children benefit from the social skills, plus everyone gets a balanced meal.
Marketing. Unhealthy foods can look fun, easy, and tasty with colorful marketing packages and free toys. Frozen, instant, microwavable, prepackaged—these foods aren't usually fruits and vegetables. And they often have a lot of either salt, sugar, or fat—and sometimes all three!
Cultural and social meanings. Some foods are comforting and familiar, even if they are not nutritious and healthy. Religious, political, or social beliefs help us make food choices for ourselves and our families.
Family and living situations. Other people may shop and prepare the food we eat. This is especially true for children and their eating habits.
Emotions.Depression, anxiety, boredom, and stress can lead to unhealthy eating.
Knowledge of nutrition. Basic nutrition doesn't have to be complicated. Don't get confused when a new study in the news conflicts with everything you know. Look at the big picture. More research might need to be done before it becomes fact.
Timing. It isn't so much the time of day that matters but what and how much you eat when you do. The longer you wait between eating, the more you tend to eat at your next meal or snack. For example, if you eat an early dinner, you may be hungry before bedtime. Consider eating just 1 hour later, or don't eat dessert.

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo stepped in something on his way into the stadium today and decided to just eat it off the bottom of his shoe in case it could give him some sort of performance advantage.
"Maybe it's not cleared by baseball, maybe it is," he said, swallowing. "Maybe it's just dog poop, maybe it's not. Although it sure smells like it."
Arroyo admitted this week that he takes numerous substances that aren't approved by Major League Baseball.
"I take 10 to 12 different things a day, and on the days I pitch, there's four more things," he told USA Today. "There's a caffeine drink I take from a company that Curt Schilling introduced me to in '05. I take some Korean ginseng and a few other proteins out there that are not certified. But I haven't failed any tests, so I figured I'm good."
Arroyo now is just hoping that what was on his shoe won't cause him to test positive.
"I still have no idea what I had stuck on my shoe," he said. "It looked kind of like if you put gum, grass clippings, gravel and dog doo in a blender, mixed it all together and put it out in the sun for a month. None of those things are illegal by themselves. I'm just hoping I don't get any trace stuff from the gum. Or the poo."
If his latest supplement helps his performance, Arroyo says he will add it to the mix on a regular basis.
"I'll take any advantage I can get," he said. "Flemming discovered penicillin by accident, right? Maybe I'll be lucky enough to ingest something that's the greatest performance enhancer ever. That's my goal. Hey, are you done with that Sprite? Do you mind if I inject the rest of it into my shoulder?"

This is the legal part of the show. It's just so everybody knows the rules for Nickelodeon on the Web. Be sure to get your parents to review and discuss these rules with you:
1. All the toys and games here are just for you to play with. You can't sell them, give them to anyone, or pretend you made them. You can't do anything EXCEPT play with them, unless you ask us first and we say it's OK. Kind of like playing with your big sister's toys, right?
2. If you see something you don't like, remember that all the stuff on the message boards, chat rooms and "Write to Nick" comes straight from other kids, not from someone at nick.com Nick.com wouldn't tell kids what to say, because kids have minds of their own! But if someone sends ugly messages, we'll do our best to take care of it. We all want nick.com to be a good, clean place to hang out.
3. If you write something that catches our eye in "Write to Nick," on a message board or in a chat room, we might want to use it on the site. By sending in your thoughts and hanging out in the chat rooms, and getting your parents permission to do so, you and your parents are telling us it's ok to repeat what you say. It's even ok to put it in an advertisement. It means we can use it in any way we want, anywhere, until the end of time. And wouldn't it be cool if we used something YOU said until the end of time?
Remember to ALWAYS check with your parents before you send anything to us. After all, they might want it to put on the fridge!
Of course, the folks in the legal office upstairs have their own secret code for saying all that. Here's their version (also known as The Small Print):

Daybreak Doppler: Everyone Wins Except For My Fantasy Team
By Wally in Daybreak Doppler on November 8, 2010 6:55 am / 1 comment
This week's Daybreak Doppler Dames theme is Oh Canada!

Football thoughts – As underachieving as the Badgers were in first half, they woke up in the second to get a good win. While everyone watching started thinking 'trap game', I thought the team did what good teams do…got their game together and went on to an impressive win. As iffy as the Badgers were, the Packers were anything but with an incredible performance under the lights at Lambeau last night. Yes, I get it that the Cowboys are not a good team, but the Packers did what you're suppose to do against bad teams which is thoroughly own them all night. Going into the BYE week, Green Bay & its fans have to feel pretty good about where they are right now.

My fantasy finally kicked some butt this week (thank you Aaron Rodgers and Greg Jennings). I can't help but think how far in first I'd be if my tight end wasn't sitting in his living room in Green Bay with his knee propped up, playing Madden and driving his wife crazy.

You know how you have these kind of day dreams/fantasy about someone you will never see or meet again? Like a hot guy/girl at the beach, shops, park, or wherever?
That's happened to me a lot since I started to notice other people, if you know what I mean. Or when I wished that someone would love me. Lame right? or corny? Or whatever you prefer.
My name is Gabrielle Murphy, Gabby for short. I'm not a very pretty girl, just average I guess, if you want. I have short black hair, white skin, hazel eyes, a round face, not a thin girl (no where near thin), I'm seventeen almost eighteen. I'm also bi.
That's a little bit about me. I wont go into full depth about me, I'm sure that would bore you to tears! But throughout this story I may explain little sections of things, or I may not go into any detail.
Here I am sitting at the beach, writing a story in my book, while watching the people around me play in the water and sand.
Sitting here alone - yes I do have friends, just want to be alone right now...
My thoughts are cut off when I hear a girl scream, while others a giggling. I look towards the noise, so does most of the people on the beach, to find a group of the popular kids.... btw it isn't a big beach.
You know the type, unless you are the type? (if you are I'm sorry!) There were two girls with this group, who are to thin to believe, wearing bikini that I wouldn't think even class as a bikini cause their so small, who are too pretty to be fair, and so on. There was also guys with this group, three guys.
One of the boys had pushed a girl into the water.
I roll my eyes – as well as the rest of the beach goers - and go back to my writing. Almost finish this page I'm on when I notice the popular kids walk past me and most of them run straight to the water. I just focus more on my writing.
When I see a pair of tanned feet in front of me, I look up to see the boy with the black hair, lightly tanned skin, piercing blue eyes framed by dark eyelashes, sightly muscled,tall, nice smile...
"Umm? Yes?' I whispered.
"I know this is gonna sound odd, but I was wondering if you could look after mine and my friends things while we're in the water...?"
"Ahh, I dunno... I might be leaving soon..." LIE! I was gonna be here for the next few hours, at least.
"Oh, ummm," he looked disappointed, "Just for a little while, please?"
I was shocked for to reasons. One, he asked and TWO he said please!
"Ahh, sure, just don't be to long..."
"Thanks!" He smiled a big smile that made me feel warm inside. What the hell is going on?!?
He placed all their stuff on the ground beside me and started to walk away, I was getting ready to go back to my writing when he turned back.
"Hey, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"
"Gabby. You?"
"Ben." Was all he said before he went to play with his friends in the water.
For the next hour and a half, I spent trying to get engrossed in my story again, but failed and failed. All I could think about – well hoped – that Ben would come up here and kiss me or something! Ask me out or even just talk with me, get to know me. He didn't judge, well not that I could see, then I had my doubts, what if he was only being nice cause he wanted me to look after this stuff.
It doesn't matter! I scolded myself.
Well that's what I told myself anyway....

Young reader happy to see 'Charlotte' lookalike outdoors
A friend's little girl came charging in to where her mom was working recently with the excited announcement: "I just saw a spider that looks like Charlotte! (from the literary work "Charlotte's Web.")
Not that fond of arachnids, Mom asked with alarm: "In the house?"
"Outside," the little girl explained. "If it was in the house, I would be running to get a shoe to kill it right now."
Amused now, Mom commented: "You would kill 'Charlotte'?"
"Well," her daughter responded, "it didn't look THAT much like 'Charlotte'."

Collin (Mrs. Hip) says:
No – you need to apply the code mentioned above at checkout in order to get them 2 for $35. :)
Nae says:
Great deal, but they want $25.00 to ship to Alaska or Hawaii. Bummer.

Collin (Mrs. Hip) says:
Thanks! Just added FINISH5LINE to the post! :)

Julie's Stlavonlady says:

I was waiting for this Finish Line Deal!! Thanks Collin!!! You are awesome!!
Kidsallgone says:
Fyi: These run smallllllll :(
Denise says:
thanks so much! just got 2! what a great deal!
tracy says:
I got this deal last Christmas. The woman's sweatpants began to pill very quickly and they are also very long (even for me at 5'8″). The men's hoodie ran small also. My hubby wears a medium normally but needed a size large hoodie.
Sandy says:
thanks for the reviews!
Holly says:
Thank you Collin! 2 gifts checked off for Christmas, for a great price.
nikki says:
I bought the hoodies last year expecting them to be cheapies..but they are awesome! Also if you have a discover card you can get 15% back using shop discover!

Lisa says:
They run SMALL, size up!!
CJ says:
Perfect! I have been looking for a deal on NCAA stuff for my brother — thanks!
Melissa says:
I bought these last year and they do run small but the quality of the hoodies is great. My hubby and father-in-law wear them a lot!
Christina says:
Be aware these run really small. I ordered 2 XL for my husband last year and they were equivalant to a large at best.
blyane says:
Just got 2, will make a great gift! Thank you!
Wendy says:
Crap they don't have the freaking team I need. :(
mar says:
Thanks Collin since you have posted this store Finish line, I have been able to buy my kids shoes good brands at 20.00 that was when school started. Right now I just bought myself some much needed hoodies and FYI everyone the socks are still buy one pack get one free. Thanks a BuNCHES…
Stacey says:
Just got my Husker husband some Nebraska gear for cheap! Thank you Colin!
Amy says:
Go Huskers! We're using it to buy more Husker gear too. :-)
Sarah M says:
Great deal!!! My dad is officially done on my Christmas list!
Karen S says:
I just got two for my son…now I read the posts say they run small….he's about 5'8″ and 32 waist pant and med or lg tee shirt. Do you think the Large will be big enough?? Anybody??
Karen S says:
Went ahead and ordered 2 more in XLG and will just return the wrong size ones to the local store. Also, if you sign up for winner circle and your number is listed on the checkout screen, you can't also use the finish5line code for 5% off. So don't sign up if you don't plan on using the reward program.
Tabby says:
Use LOOKGOOD10 code for $10 off $60! Great for if you plan on getting more than 2. ;)
Holly says:
Thanks so much! My two nephews are DONE! And they are hard to buy for!
Julie V says:
Use code LOOKGOOD20 for $20 off of $100.
rose says:
this worked for me!!
Jill says:
I keep getting "We are currently unable to process coupons, please try back in the near future. We apologize for this inconvenience." :(
Niki says:
I LOVE these hoodies!!! I am very particular about how my hoodie fits, I like form fitting and LONG sleeves that don't go past your wrists after you dry them. Think Abercrombie/Hollister quality!!! Amazing hoodie for the price. Any college kid on your Christmas list would LOVE these!
Amy says:
Strange, I can't seem to use the FINISH5LINE coupon, they said "ERROR
We are currently unable to process coupons, please try back in the near future. We apologize for this inconvenience."-
Lesly says:
Mine said that too! Ugh! They've caught on to us! LOL!
Jill says:
Me too. :( And I was so excited to get 6 difficult-to-shop for men presents out of the way affordably. Now I can't decide if should go ahead with the $105 or hope . . .
Jill says:
(I was trying to use Lookgood20 for the 20 off 100)
Amy says:
I usually wear size L, do you think I need to get a XL sweatshirt since I see people saying it runs small…
Hilary says:
Website is down for maintenance. You all broke the thing. ;-)
Kate says:
If you have Mr. Rebates there is a bonus of 8% right now. My referral link to join is http://www.mrrebates.com?refid=330905 Thanks!
Megan says:
Do the pants run small also?
Shannon says:
They are unable to accept coupon codes at the time of my checkout. :(
Hilary says:
The code wouldn't work, but I ordered them anyways so I got the size and styles I needed for Christmas gifts. Thank you!
Becky says:
Placed my order over the phone and got the 2 for $35 price. The rep said she would refund me the coupon amount in a separate transaction since their website is having issues.
amyconverse2012A says:
I got the 2 for $35 deal and didn't not have to enter any promo code for that. It automatically changed the price when the second was added to the cart. I actually got 4 hoodies for $70, plus I had $20 in Winner Circle rewards (from when I bought the kids shoes for back-to-school), so after the 5% off and free shipping, I got 4 hoodies (for Christmas gifts) for $49 and some change. Yay!!! Thanks Hip2Save or I would've missed this sale!
Lynzee says:
Thank you! 2 gifts down for my husband for Christmas now! :)
Jill says:
Coupon Codes working again! Yay!
6 hoodies: $85.
6 checks off the Christmas list: priceless.-
Julie V says:
Yay, glad that you were finally able to use the $20/$100 code! I love these great deals.
Renee says:
So I'm trying to buy two pairs sweatpants. My total even after using finish5line code is 35.58. Is this right? On the hip2save post it says 33.25 shipped. Can someone please Help me? Is that before tax? Why would my total be 35.58? Thanks!
Heather says:
I've done this deal twice and the sweatshirts are great. They do run small. Order a size up! :)
Ann Dee says:
Yeah!!! I've been waiting for this deal. The ones I ordered last year were too small. We still wear them, but now for such a great price I can get some more a bit bigger and give the small ones to other family members!!!!
surveyassistant says:
It wants to charge me $10.48 for shipping (said it qualified for free shipping) and there is no place to put in a promotional code. I was really excited about this but I guess I won't be taking advantage of it. $48.21 would be my total. Any ideas?
Melissa says:
Just go ahead & process your order with the added shipping charge and then call customer service. This happened to me and when I called they pulled up my order and knew why I was calling before I even had to tell them. Must be happening a lot!
Kari says:
I ordered 4 of these hoodies on Wednesday night…2 of them came today already- a day & a half later! My husband tried them on & we're impressed so far. Trying to think of who else we can buy for for Christmas! Thanks for the heads up!

What I DID learn in Design School
David Armano, Creative Director at Digitas in Chicago, and blogger @
Logic + Emotion (see above link), lists all the things that he feels are
relevant that he learned in D school and how he learned it especially in
D school.
I particularly liked the following:
See things differently
Build Something
Face Your Fears
Embrace New Experiences
Anyway, like most of David's postings, this is a good one and with all
the people asking about D schools vs. HCI programs and what not I
thought it was relevant to the list.
Makes me want to reconsider going back to school again. :)
