Still Dont Know
19 Mar 2015
I ordered these umbrellas on 2nd February and despite several emails to Easylife and an email to say they were being despatched on 16th February and a phone call on the 4th March to say yet again they were being despatched I have still not received them and emailed again on 14th March to ask yet again what is happening I have heard nothing and received nothing. Wish someone could tell me what is going on.

WE didnt get the product that we ordered it was replaced by another similar product so we were happy with what we received have not really tried it out over the holiday period
By Mr Kempster, 31 Dec 2014
I received my order after a very short delay Christmas etc. Well packaged, good quality. However these were Christmas presents & on opening one umbrella had not been anchored properly to the splines, another of the umbrellas was torn on the outer rim.All in all very bad quality control.A good product spoiled. I am not prepared to spend any more money on returning these items. B. Kempster (Mr.) .
Stay dry umbrella

I was delighted with umbrella. I have still it try it out in the rain but product is of very good quality
Really pleased
By Mrs Hensher, 22 Dec 2014
Have used this umbrella in recent high winds and very pleased as it did not blow inside out as many would have. I would have rated it 5 stars but only downside is that it is heavy and this might not suit everyone.
16 Dec 2014
Strong and so fad windproof, but time will tell, it has not been very windy yet. Larger thsn I thought it would be.
By Mr Kenway, 16 Dec 2014
The umbrellas arrived safely not been able too use them much so far but they seem perfectly ok.
By Mr Lloyd, 16 Dec 2014

StayDry Windproof Umbrella
By Mrs Cording, 12 Dec 2014
Best Umbrella ever and fantastic value of buy one and get one free. Great Design and very sturdy. Extremely satisfied customer. I practically get through a standard small umbrella every couple weeks as they constantly blow inside and and get buckled - so frustrating. This umbrella is a dream come true, no wind to destroy it! Christine Cording
By Miss Drake, 07 Dec 2014
Item excellent but service was a disgrace, I waited three weeks and nothing, I emailed four times, nothing. I eventually got through to be told they had replied the previous week. Lo and behold two days ago I got a reply to my original email. My opinion...do not bother
missing umbrella
By linda derrington, 04 Dec 2014
After sending many e mails about a missing umbrella, no one has had the manners to reply, so if you are thinking of buying, be aware that you will not get your free one

By Mrs Hodkin, 03 Dec 2014
Prompt delivery item looks very strong but bought as presents so have not been tried yet

My Wife thinks it is great,I offered to buy a new umbrella from a well known store but she stated no,you can get wind proof umbrella now so I am happy she is happy Thanks
11 Nov 2014
At last. a brolly that doesnt break within the first half hour. Really pleased with it. the slightly larger size is no problem because the case has got a strap. Easy to hold along with a handbag. Opens really quickly too.
By Mrs Hartley, 11 Nov 2014
This umbrella actually does what it says on the tin- it actually copes with high winds and does not turn inside out. SUPERB!!

Great Windproof Umbrella
By Miss Twine, 04 Nov 2014
I love the umbrella but am still waiting to receive the free one that was supposed to come with the umbrella that I bought!! I hope it comes very soon. Its a brilliant umbrella and it really works - I used it last week when we had very high winds and wind in Portsmouth. We tend to get a lot of that kind of weather as we live near the sea. Id recommend this umbrella to everyone.

Should have been two
By Mrs Proctor, 27 Sep 2014
Umbrella is fine - but the offer was supposedly two for the price of one. Only one received. May be my fault during ordering process.
By Mr Plummer, 22 Sep 2014
A really excellent buy! Used in Turkey in rainstorm and was brilliant, despite gusts of wind and torrential rain! Kept me dry and safe! Thanks for such a bargain !!
By Mr Plummer, 22 Sep 2014
My partner used this in a rainstorm in Turkey recently and was kept dry and safe from the gusts of wind and torrential rain! Thanks for such a good bargain!!
By Mrs Evans, 12 Sep 2014
Very strong umbrella ,I am very happy.
Rain protection
By Mr Sharples, 10 Sep 2014
Bought to replace two umbrellas broken in the tail of the recent hurricane, these appear to be effective although yet to be tested to the same level that the unfortunate predecessors lost their existence. A little smaller in coverage area but big enough the protect. Buy one get one free so cant be too bad.
08 Sep 2014
Thanks for the umbrella but I did not know what to do cause it was a buy one get one free which resulted in me getting only one instead of two umbrellas.
windproof brolly
By Mrs Bickford, 04 Sep 2014
So far seems really good havent had too much wind and rain too try it out yet it
By Mrs Glover, 03 Sep 2014
These were not as described. They were supposed to fold down to pocket size according to the advert but are far too big. The black one was even bigger than the red one and too big even for a briefcase or shopping bag. Although the offer was for buy one get one free I did expect them to be the same size and the 38cm as described in the advert.Despite this both are of good quality. I was tempted to send them back but time passed and it seemed not worth the hassle.

One Umbrella Good
By Mrs Moss, 22 Jun 2014
One umbrella good, the services of getting it was Terrible. After 20 odd working days I am still waiting for the FREE UMBRELLA. Contact with customer service 3 times said It's on it's way! Never Again will I shop with you
14 Jun 2014
I bought two of these for both myself and my husband and we both have found them brilliant.
30 May 2014

Excellent value for money.
05 May 2014
Although I have not yet used the umbrellas, they do appear to be sturdy. The only criticism is how long you have to wait for them to arrive, I had to get in touch to find out why they hadn't arrived and then wait again.
31 Mar 2014
nice and comfortable to use, a little smaller than I thought it would be.
17 Mar 2014
Good sturdy umbrella. Haven't been able to test it's "windproof" qualities yet but pleased with it so far. Only negative is that it is much longer than average size umbrellas and therefore won't fit in a handbag so has to be carried separately. Overall nice umbrella.
14 Mar 2014
Good value.Promot delivery. Mistake quickly rectified with apology,
Exceptional product
By Mrs Bursnoll, 12 Mar 2014
Great bargain and does what blurb states. With all the rain and wind we have had this year, the umbrella keeps you dry and is definitely wind proof. Never having to struggle with a brolly in windy weather again.
Very Pleased with these Umbrellas
By Mrs Briscall, 02 Mar 2014
Just what I wanted at a nice price and easier to use than the big black ones which are probably for men. Might buy the two other colours as I am so pleased with the two I have and they will last forever.
By Mrs Pain, 01 Mar 2014
I bought this for my daughter as she goes through so many umbrellas due to the wind breaking them and now i bought this for her it does what it says windproof it doesnt go inside out ,shes very pleased with the umbrella
By Mrs Spice, 06 Feb 2014
It has not blown inside out yet with the weather we have
No more broken brollies
By Mrs Shaw, 04 Feb 2014
This is so cool. I use a power wheelchair and there's nothing worse than on a windy day my brolly turning inside out and breaking so I end up getting soaked through. The wind is no problem for this brolly, I love it and getting 1 free is a bonus.
feedback on brollys
04 Feb 2014
all good as described.does the job.well made and wind proof as long as its not a hurricane. ido recommend these brollys.
save yourself money
By Mrs Goodwin, 03 Feb 2014
With the weather we are having lately these umbrellas are a must. I have bought endless normal umbrellas which just don't last, especially in the wind. I have bought similar umbrellas before and they lasted a long time, but my daughter lost them. Don't waste money on normal umbrellas as these will save you money in the long run.
Sturdy and reliable
By Miss Russell, 03 Feb 2014
A good purchase, reliable and well made. A bit longer than I thought it would be as it does not fit into my bag as well as I had expected it to. Lovely colour, I purchased the red and blue.
So far so good
By Miss Benson, 01 Feb 2014
Bought these as they seemed a very good deal. I took note of other reviewers who said to make sure the top button was secure and so far I have had no problems. They do seem a little flimsy compared to the one I previously owned, but then they are half the price. So far they have not turned inside out and seem to be fit for purpose.
By Mrs Pocklington, 30 Jan 2014
Actually do what they say wish had had bought this ages ago very pleased indeed and to get a free one too is a bonus

Stay dry windproof umbrella
24 Jan 2014
It took a while for me to receive this but finally arrived today, the umbrella is supposed to be red but I would say it's orange, so not very happy with the colour. I had a black one as the freebie and so far am pleased with it, but not used it in too windy conditions yet.

Black stay dry umbrella
By Mrs Hirst, 09 Jan 2014
Bought this umbrella for my mum and she really pleased with it. The umbrella held out well in the post Xmas storms so very impressed so far. It's a shame it does fold a little smaller as at 34cm it's a little too big to fit inside mums handbag but that's the just personal preference. This was on a Buy one get one free offer so mega bargain!
Pale blue stay dry umbrella
By Mrs Hirst, 09 Jan 2014
Got this for my mum with a black one as part of a buy one get one free offer! Umbrellas have both been used in the post Xmas gales/storms & held out really well so really impressed so far. At 34cm it's a little big to fit neatly in mums bag so would be nice if it could fold a little smaller but that's just personal preference
By Mrs Grant, 07 Jan 2014
I have only used my umbrella twice, but am glad with the performance so far!

it works
By Miss Blondel, 08 Nov 2013
I bought this umbrella after giving my first two away, it is slim and quite light, so can easily fit in my large rucksack, I had cause to use it on the worst day of the weather we had, and found it quite sturdy able to withstand the blustery weather and the added thing is, I have two so if one does unfortunately break I am all good doubt it though.

What a good umbrella,doesn't blow inside out when wind blows in rain.
good umbrella
By Mrs Wilson, 19 Oct 2013
I have wasted money on cheap umbrellas in past that blow inside out and break. This clever umbrella does not turn inside out and no matter how windy and how much it rains just stays upright.
No more inside outs
19 Oct 2013
Brilliant just great for a rainy windy day.
Screw top button
By Mr Rowlandson, 19 Oct 2013
5 stars for two for one offer. Good construction for this price range. Make sure the black button on the top of the brolly is well screwed down before use.

Seems great so far
By Mrs Cochrane, 15 Oct 2013
I have used it once so far and had no problems. Yesterday was extremely windy and raining heavily and there was never a hint of the umbrella blowing inside out. Recommended
Great so far
By Mrs Cochrane, 15 Oct 2013
Seems to be ok, not used in heavy wind yet but as the other colour was fine I am sure this will be too
Initial disappointment, resolved happily!
By Mr Cheney, 12 Oct 2013
Order placed and received acknowledgement almost immediately, within 24 hours advised of despatch and tracking details. Items received within 7 days, unfortunately one was damaged and had to be returned, have now received replacement and had cost of postage reimbursed - Happy customer
So far so good
By Mrs Moulding, 08 Oct 2013
Have received these in good time. The handles shorter than others we have had but otherwise no complaints. Remains to be seen how long they last.

Windproof Umbrella
27 Aug 2013
I love this umbrella. I keep losing it and reordering because I love it so much... I work by the River Mersey so it can be extremely windy & this umbrella does not blow inside out! I highly recommend.
Does what it says
By Mrs Chamberlain, 13 Aug 2013
This product lives up to it's claims. It has stood up to some very strong and quite blustery winds without even the slightest trouble. It is a good size and although it does not fold down as small as some telescopic umbrellas it is very light. The carry case is a usefull addition. The buy one get one free offer makes it incredibly good value and I would recommend this to anyone.
Looks ok but untested
By Mr Morris, 08 Aug 2013
Appears as described with a good coverage to keep you dry. Not tested yet in a windy day. The stem looks/feels fragile and that it might bend under pressure - a windy day will test that.
By Mr Shagra, 04 Jul 2013
Nice and compact umbrella

Pink Umbrella
By Mrs Quinn, 24 Jun 2013
Bought red and pink brolly at the same time. Pink one is a much inferior product than the red one which is a thicker material, better grip handle and thicker draw string cover with handles.

Excellent blue umbrella
By Mr Ingham, 17 Jun 2013
Fantastic umbrella, really pleased with it. Tip - don't get the pink umbrella, it was found to be made differently and in poorer quality.
A no-brainer!
By Mr Fisher, 24 May 2013
As with the century-long wait before we got wheels on suitcases, ventilated umbrellas have been long over-due. Just watch everyone else struggling to keep their brolly curving the right way, as you sail effortlessly along despite the most severe gale-force winds.
By Mr Fisher, 24 May 2013
As with the century-long wait before we got wheels on suitcases, ventilated umbrellas have been long over-due. Just watch everyone else struggling to keep their brolly curving the right way as you sail effortlessly along despite the most severe gale-force winds. Unfortunately, one of the two brollys supplied has a faulty catch that requires easing the spring tension on the spokes everytime to get it to release.
13 May 2013
good value umbrella. windproof and compact.
Great brolly
By Beer, 12 May 2013
Used on a wet and windy day, stayed dry and brolly stayed right side out!

Although I haven't been able to test the brolly in really windy weather yet they do seem sturdy enough to withstand. Only problem I have is that I got one for myself and my mother and she finds it very hard to open. You need a strong hand to press the button
By Mrs Domican, 28 Apr 2013
Received two for the price of one, a good deal, also they are quite big haven't used it yet but sure it will do the trick as my other umbrellas blew inside out. Very good buy
By Mr Till, 25 Apr 2013
Pity the handle does not retract.
21 Apr 2013
Not had chance to use in strong wind yet, but by all accounts a good buy.

Awful colour
By Mr Danks, 13 Apr 2013
I bought a black and a blue. The colour of the latter was not as shown abd very disapointing
Very pleased
12 Apr 2013
Umbrellas arrived within 10 days well packaged and have used a couple of times. Everything satisfactory.
By Mrs Taylor, 09 Apr 2013
Only got one then had to phone for the free one. When it arrived it was damaged by bending it so it would fit in the bag. When telephoning regarding the damaged goods I then had to pay again for phone call and then had to pay for the return postage £2.60
09 Apr 2013
great umbrellas.really do hold up against the wind and rain, but don't put it down and forget it ,as someone else will make use of it.
By Mrs Cook, 29 Mar 2013
A good value for money purchase which has proved very useful and reliable.
Windproof Unbrella
By Mr Farnworth, 14 Mar 2013
A windproof brolly that does exactly what it says it does. My wife has been out in quite strong winds and not once did it turn inside out.
By Tuthill, 13 Mar 2013
You get what you pay for.
08 Mar 2013
Delivery took too long i orderd on 17/2/2013 and recieved on 08/03/2013 and the quality very poor the string falling a part from spokes
31 Jan 2013
It's been raining & windy for the last couple of days, no problems yet.

Great value for money
wind proof umbrella
By anthony topp, 29 Jan 2013
i don't go much on your wind proof umbrellas as the first time i used it after i purchased it, it blew inside out & broke, so i would say they are cheap & nasty umbrellas.
25 Jan 2013
Yes, thank you -- the product was 5-star -- However, I have emailed you to say that the offer was "Buy one Get One Free". I DID NOT GET THE FREE ONE!!
By Mr Hemings, 24 Jan 2013
This is the second time I have purchased this Umbrella (Having lost my previous one), and I find it is all it says.
By Mr Oswin, 24 Jan 2013
just the job when other people,s umbrella are blowing inside out this one stay,s right side up. Cannot be beaten
23 Jan 2013
absolutely brilliant best brolly ever
bit slow
19 Jan 2013
the price is good, and the umbrellas are good, but the delivery a bit to long
By Mrs Hall, 19 Jan 2013
The umbrellas were fine when I eventually got them service was poor and would not bother purchasing from them again

Windproof Umbrella
12 Jan 2013
This item is fine. The order form failed me I entered 2 for the BOGOF offer when form was completed it only showed 1, and that is what I got, 1 not 2. I emailed a few times you DO NOT REPLY TO EMAILS, VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Black umbrella
11 Jan 2013
Black umbrella is excellent - I have had this make before and after losing one a while ago decided to buy another. The sleeve has carrying handle which I like as I can attach it to a handbag
Red umbrella
11 Jan 2013
This red umbrella is not the same type as the black one. Construction flimsier. Fabric thinner and doesn't fold properly. It's difficult to get it into it's sleeve which does not have a carrying handle. I suppose the free offer is poorer quality. A disappointment
Windproof umbrella
By Mr Sanderson, 11 Jan 2013
Bought this as one of the christmas gifts for my 26 year old daughter and she said its one of the best presents she recieved, especially with all the rain we have had, and it keeps her dry even in strong winds. She loves it.
Windproof umbrella
By Mr Sanderson, 11 Jan 2013
Brilliant, great even in strong winds !! Would definately recommend this product.
09 Jan 2013
I have purchased 3 of these unbrella's before and found them to be really good but these new ones are not sturdy as the previous ones. A bit of o let down.

By Mrs Duffy, 06 Jan 2013
Great item
great value
By Mrs LANCASTER, 04 Jan 2013
cannot fault the product but the delivery time and communication was atrocious. I suppose the carriers are more to blame for the delivery as the date on the parcel was 17th December but only received 3rd January but there was no emails to confirm despatch and no response to my emails when chasing.Ordered 4 in total for xmas presents - arrived too late for that!
Staydry umbrella
By Mr Scott, 04 Jan 2013
The item is fine, but the company supplying the product is not. It was advetised as "buy one get one free" at £14.99. I have only received one. Despite contacting the company directly, they still will not supply the remaining one outstanding. I am now in the process of contacting the advertising standards agency. As far as i am concerned this has been a misleading advertisement.
02 Jan 2013
A very good purchase. Excellent in windy weather.
By Mrs Weaver, 02 Jan 2013
A bit on the large side but great product, will be getting one for myself.
01 Jan 2013
Very impressed with the item. Made a lovely Christmas present for my sister! The other I kept for myself!!
01 Jan 2013
Same as above! It's great to go out in the wind & rain & know the brolly won't blow inside out!
01 Jan 2013
Haven't used it yet but looks good
By Miss KINGTON, 01 Jan 2013
Bought this item for my Mother for Christmas due her Umberella blew inside out. Went to use my free one the other day, unfortunately I couldn't get the Umberella up and so I reverted back to my old fairhful!! After several attempts whilst indoors I eventually got the Umberella up at last. Not sure whether mine is faulty as the button doesn't operate properly. My Morhers is working just fine.
01 Jan 2013
These umbrellas has been fantastic so far.
By Miss Fellows, 29 Dec 2012
The green umbrella ordered did not match the black one like for like which is strange as they are advertised as the same and come from the same company. This one was poor from the start, as hasn't closed since the first time I used it and noticed the metal spikes are not strong and one was broken. Not impressed as nowhere near the quality of my previously bought windproof umbrella so can safely say this one will be as a spare.
Nice umbrella
By Miss Fellows, 29 Dec 2012
Nice black umbrella and seems well built, especially compared to the other one which was ordered at the same time. Wished I had ordered two black ones!
Windproof Umbrella
29 Dec 2012
Looks and feels quite strong. It does not fold small enough to fit in my handbag which is a bit disappointing.

good buy
By Mrs Tyson, 27 Dec 2012
The quality of this product has gone down a lot since I last purchased a windproof unmbrella from this company. This one is very light weight and feels as though it will blow away in a gust of wind. The last time I bought this brolly it was quite heavy and sturdy and very good, which is why I returned here to purchase more.
By Mrs Johnson, 26 Dec 2012
i bought this umbrella as part of the buy one get one free offer they seem to be ok the only thing is they are a bit big and quite heavy to carry about in a handbag and for that reason i have rated it with 3 stars
Very small and short
By Mr Mercer, 21 Dec 2012
It's very small and short so you need to hold it up high or risk hitting people.
By Mr Eckton, 20 Dec 2012
They took about 3 weeks to come which we were told could happen, so far they are bearing up well, withstanding wind that's turned 3 previous folding brollies into wreckage in next to no time. They won't fit in a small bag, handbag say, but what the heck, they work!!.
Staydry Umberella
By Mr Moss, 20 Dec 2012
Good price for 2 Umberella's and they both seem OK so far, but have not tried out yet in a good wind to test. One thing I would say, is that the handle shaft seems a bit flimsy, but time will tell!
17 Dec 2012
At 2 for 1, great value

Highly recommended and prompt delivery
By Mrs Potter, 12 Dec 2012

11 Dec 2012
Good item but unfortunately not as compact as I would have liked.
11 Dec 2012
Good item but size was not quite as expected.
15 Jul 2012
Umbrella arrived in excellent condition. I was disappointed though as this umbrella unlike my old one wouldn't fit in my bag,as well as being longer it is bulky. Haven't used it yet in any heavy winds.
well worth th money
By Mrs Pearson, 14 Jul 2012
will be buying more great present for someone
13 Jul 2012
I ordered two umbrellas,both were damaged and not useable. On a positive note I was given an immediate refund.
not strong enough
By Miss Warburton, 12 Jul 2012
Great design in terms of the windproofing but the material has away from one of the spokes after minimal use.
Bigger than expected
09 Jul 2012
Should have read the dimensions - pictures suggest it is smaller when folded - so this is my fault. Even so it is closer to 40cm in length than 38cm stated when folded - too large for the average handbag. description also says has a shoulder strap, but there was none on the one supplied. Yet to try it in windy conditions. It is quite heavy.
07 Jul 2012
Thought umbrella looked rather flimsy, and was proved right. First time I used it stitching split on material at end of spoke. Have now returned for refund
By Mrs DEAL, 03 Jul 2012
did not like umbrellas one had a hole in another was a job to open up. very poor asked for a refund
tough? not sure
By Mrs Perrins, 01 Jul 2012
Hi i recieved the two umbrellas i ordered from you & was immediately disappointed with the weight of them.They are much lighter than the two i had bought from you previously which have been brilliant, withstanding all gales & downpours. i am waiting to see if these do the same.
By Mr Jones, 25 Jun 2012
I recently bought these umbrella's 1 for my wife and 1 for my daughter they both like and recomend them.

23 Jun 2012
I have used the brolly in some wind and it was ok
16 Jun 2012
Advertised as a rubberised handle it is in fact a pliable plastic substitute handle
Not windproof at all
By Miss Savvides, 16 Jun 2012
Firstly, it took a few weeks for my umbrellas to arrive. Secondly, I used the first one only 3 times, and on the 3rd occasion there was a small gust of wind, which broke this so called windproof umbrella. I will be sending it back for sure.
By Mrs Graham, 15 Jun 2012
I have had these umbrellas before and they last. Never turn inside out. After 2 years of constant use and travel the handle broke but it had been used so much. Bought another. Much lighter but just as good.
blue umbrella
06 Jun 2012
Material doesn't seem as good to me as similar umbrella's I've bought elsewhere and the catch was faulty so that it wouldn't stay folded.
green umbrella
06 Jun 2012
I'm not particularly impressed with the material the umbrella is made of but at least the catch works properly on this umbrella (unlike the one that came with it).
31 May 2012
30 May 2012
l thought l was purchasing an umbrella worth £15. l felt the quality was worth less than half the price. Quite disappointed.
20 May 2012
Both umbrellas arrived within three days. The umbrella when folded is longer than expected and I find it hard to fit it into my large handbag. I have to carry it in a separate bag. So far, I have used it twice and although it is wind proofed, I felt the overlap of the top layer could be abit more, so that you don't get some rain blown in through the gaps.
One good, one bad
By Mrs Herbert, 17 May 2012
I bought two of these umbrellas as they were buy one get one free. It's a good job I did as one broke the first week it was used so that was a let down. However the second one works perfectly and still is today. Whether it was a freak incident it broke or it was just a faulty one I'm not sure.
By Mrs Robertson, 01 May 2012
very light and easy to carry

Liverpool Joan
By Mrs Mcgavin, 04 Mar 2012
Not tried it yet in windy weather a bit heavier than the umbrellas i,m used to also the way its made very awkward to fold up again it took the full 10 days to arrive
Good brolly
By Mrs Thomas, 28 Feb 2012
A good strong umbrella. Have already used it in a strong wind and it didn't blow inside out.
22 Feb 2012
took longer than anticipated to arrive
Wet but dry
By Mrs Attwood, 22 Feb 2012
Sturdy but easy to use. Protection at the click of a button.
By Mrs Wilson, 08 Feb 2012
Not as robust as I thought it would be but it does the job and has not blown inside out.
A Gift
By Mrs Potts, 05 Feb 2012
This was a gift and my friend was delited with the umbrella
04 Feb 2012
It seems quite sturdy. A lot larger when folded than expected. Quite bulky to carry around.
04 Feb 2012
Very disappointed with the colour. Expected 'Red' colour nearer to 'Orange'. Clashes with any clothes that are actually Red!! Otherwise seems sturdy enough. Quite bulky when folded.
03 Feb 2012
great value great price large size does what it says
By Mrs Potter, 03 Feb 2012
Very good but only one came had to ring twice to chase up and second arrived a couple of weeks late
By Mr Tilly, 03 Feb 2012
the day we recived the umbrella's it was raining and windy so we were able to try them out. it worked out perfectly.
By Mr Ince, 03 Feb 2012
excellent buy!!
By Mr Ince, 03 Feb 2012
As for the other review..... excellent!!!
Red is the new Black!!!!!!!!!
02 Feb 2012
I ordered these umbrellas on the 3rd of January and they arrived three weeks later. I was very disappointed with the quality of these items.I ordered 1 pink and 1 black and received 1 pink and 1 red. I did not want to send them back as i did not know how long i would have to wait for a replacement, so i just kept both of them. I previously ordered two Black umbrellas, they were also buy 1 get one free, so i received four in total
By Mrs Gay, 02 Feb 2012
I used this product for the very first time on a windy day. I literally got to the top of my street and the umbrella blew inside out so i think that it is a joke to call this product windproof to be perfectly honest.
By Miss Reid, 02 Feb 2012
was satisfied with my umbrella, does the job it says it has to do, and didnt wait to long for it to arrive.
By Mrs Smith, 02 Feb 2012
Does NOT do what it claims to do, IT IS NOT WIND RESISTANT AT ALL !!!!!!! do not waste your money,I have not sent it back,it is in a bin in town, it blew inside out 3 times in minutes and the third time was completely broken and useless.
high and dry
By Mrs Cook, 01 Feb 2012
bought 2 of these umbrellas to give as gifts.They are great value for money.
good brolly
01 Feb 2012
Works fine, we've not had a massvive amount of wind since it arrived so can't vouch for the windproofness of this umberella, it looks nice and goes up automatically so I'm pleased thanks
By Mrs Richardson, 31 Jan 2012
My wife is very pleased with the brollies says they are very stable in the wind and is pleased with the colours.
By Mrs Oliveira, 31 Jan 2012
This is really good but because I did not add two to the basket I only received one. I sent an email to see if to late but never got a reply. Not very good customer services.
31 Jan 2012
Sorry to say I have returned the umbrellas to you as they were too big to fit into my handbag, but would have kept them otherwise.
Black umbrella
By Mr Branchflower, 31 Jan 2012
It seems to be fine. I need some bad weather to check it out!
31 Jan 2012
The ONE Umbrella I received seems to be fine, although I have not yet had chance to test it in a strong wind. I still await the delivery of the "+ 1 FREE" Umbrella.
Offer not to be Missed
By Mrs Boyett, 31 Jan 2012
Excellent price, needed umbrella that would not turn inside out this does the job.
30 Jan 2012
Was very pleased with the offer and product

By Mr Lewis, 29 Jan 2012
Not very good quality but okay for the price

I was very disappointed with the umbrella and have sent it back.
By Mrs Hurst, 28 Jan 2012
good sturdy umbrella nice bright colours and they dont blow insideout even in the strongest winds very good value for money
By sandra williams, 28 Jan 2012
I ordered 3 of these umbrellas for myself and friends, waited a long time for my first order, second and third order came within a week but on bot occasions only one umbrella was sent, had to wait a while for the second delivery of the extra umbrellas.I would say it was worth the wait though because it works in blustery wet weather
By Mrs Asquith, 27 Jan 2012
Bigger than i thought .Took too long to come and no reply to 3 emails sent will not order again
By Mrs Asquith, 27 Jan 2012
same as above
By Mrs Fradley, 27 Jan 2012
waste of money
27 Jan 2012
Total rubbish, would not recommend this umbrella to anyone. recieved on saturday 21st jan, used it that day, and as soon as i put it up, turned inside out. Then the plastic hand piece fell off. so would not recommend.
good value
By Mr Comley, 27 Jan 2012
Very good value, 2 for 1. A little bland in appearance, but at the price, cant really complain. Waiting for next big wind to determine general strength & just how widproof it is!
windproof brolly

By Mrs Dyke, 19 Jan 2012
well worth the wait
By Mrs Jacques, 18 Jan 2012

By Mrs Meechan, 28 Dec 2011

Excellent value for money
By Mrs Harfleet, 07 Dec 2011
I was very pleased with the red umbrella. Just as advertised. Disappointed it took so long to arrive.
Jackie's View
By Mrs Winslow, 25 Nov 2011
An excellent umbrella to keep you dry when you have rain and wind to contend with. These umbrella's are of an excellent quality and strong enough to give protection for some considerable time. The variety of colours makes it possible to choose more than one given the offers currently available.
windproof umbrella
By Mr Hampson, 25 Nov 2011
It appears to be a good product, but I have yet to try it in a strong wind however it was a good bargain at two for the price of one Bob
windproof umbrella
By Mr Hampson, 24 Nov 2011
good product, but it took 3 weeks to arrive.
Windproof Umbrella
By Mrs Proud, 13 Nov 2011
It was a bit bigger than I thought as I was thinking of something more suitable to fit in a handbag! However, it has a handy handle on the outer sleeve so should be just fine. Very lightweight and look forward to testing it out the next time it rains!
wind proof umbrella
By Mrs Harris, 25 Oct 2011
took this out today.it was very windy and raining.its the best umbrella i have ever purchased.would buy again.
Good strong brolly
By Mrs Evans, 21 Oct 2011
This brolly took a while to arrive, but when it did arrive the weather was fine for quite a few days until this week - I tested it on a very wet and windy day and sure enough it withstood the elements just as promised. i also like the cover and strap - makes it easy to carry as it is a little larger than my old brolly when folded down.
19 Oct 2011
very pleased
By n ayub, 19 Oct 2011
Very dissapointed with this umbrella a total waste of money. I regret buying it, only had it for 2 weeks, after waiting a month and half for it to be delivered, and it has already broke and the wind wasn't even that strong. never again. Unfortunatly they dont offer a money back guarentee.
Staydry Windproof Umbrella
18 Oct 2011
Both brollies are large and cover you and work great only thing is longer than i thought when packed up but very good.
Not looking forward to trying it.
By Mrs Smith, 15 Oct 2011
If my daughters experience is anything to go by, hardly excited about the prospect of using this.
Very cheap
By Mrs Shahi, 12 Oct 2011
I had the more expensive one similar to this.......and after buying it and comparing to that, i am really disappointed with the quality of this umbrella.Look cheap but i havent try it out so i don have any comment for it.
11 Oct 2011
Not the best quality. Plastic wrist strap, no shoulder strap on cover for carrying and too big for handbag.
By Miss Ayub, 10 Oct 2011
Not a very good purchase. It came 1 month late and doesn't even have the strap on the outer cover as described. I tried it for the first time yesterday and I'm sorry to say it didn't live upto expectations, just a little gust of wind turned the umbrella inside out.
NOT windproof
10 Oct 2011
These umbrellas are rubbish. They turn inside out in the slightest wind and therefore contradict the manufacturer's claims. Bulkier than a standard umbrella, I would advise prospective purchasers to look elsewhere...
pink umbrella
10 Oct 2011
Although umbrella longer than I thought it would be I am happy with Pink option - better quality umbrella than the Black option
By Mrs Vikram, 10 Oct 2011
Hopeless quality. Not upto the expectation
substituted product
09 Oct 2011
Not happy with my purchase at all ! I received a different black brolly than was described - due to the high demand for this product i was told. It was of far inferior quality to the one i had ordered and promptly arranged to return it for a refund.Having said that - the free brolly was the advertised item and is lovely...except i ordered a blue one,but never mind it will do !!
By D.Williamson, 09 Oct 2011
These umbrellas are not at all well made, have very cheap plastic handles and hanging cords. They are difficult to open and when I finally managed it the push button went into the handle. RETURNED
RED one
08 Oct 2011
I must say when I first opened this I was quite pleased, however it is supperior to the black one by far but still has some disapointing features that make me think it will not last long. The release clip is very flimsy and the fram seems week so only time will tell.
04 Oct 2011
Sadly the windproof umbrella turned inside out on the first day of use!Otherwise seems quite good Similar ones I bought in USA worked well.
03 Oct 2011
different and inferior quality to the pink one purchased obviously the free one disappointed
03 Oct 2011
good quality item
Cheap and poor quality
03 Oct 2011
This umbrella was disappointing. It is by far the most inferior umbrella I have ever seen, with cheap-feeling materials and unpleasant plastic-y feel. An example of the worst Chinese, cheap manufacture. Not recommended.
26 Sep 2011
Great umbrella, larger than usual collapsable umbrella but very sturdy and comes with own cord strap. The only disappointment was that the blue on the web site was a light blue/aqua and the blue sent was navy.

After years of being frustrated finding only candy, chips, and row upon row of energy bars at convenience stores, local entrepreneur Arn Hayden brainstormed a new option. In March of 2010, he envisioned Solbites, an all natural single-serving snack package of crackers, nut butter, and fruit spreads.

Do these have elastic at the top?
Hi, I was wondering if you think these leg warmers will stay up on my 14 inch calves. My calves are pretty solid and muscly. From the reviews it sounds like they stretch out a bit so will they be too big?
do you have in size for 9 year old
i want to order 2 colors, is it possible
Are these really one size fits all. I'm 5'10, 210 lbs. I want to make sure these would fit my legs before purchasing
Thanks for your stellar service! I never regret an order, it's like Christmas every time I buy socks!

July 22, 2011 — The workforce is changing—Millennials are in, "typical" work environments are out. Millennials, born between 1977 and 1998, are changing the way America works and are forcing a growing number of executives to change policies and management style, according to a CNN report. Millennials have seen their parents laid off and burned out by corporate America, says the report, so life/work balance is especially important to them. Read more »

We've been waiting for the wicked Audi TT RS for years, and this summer we'll finally get our hands on it. Audi seems to have its timing backward -- the RS should have been the first TT to show up, positioned as a performance halo car. Instead, the regular TT came here first, and it developed a bit of a chick-car image. Yes, the TT may look cute, but it's quite the little sports car. Audi tried to remedy its cutesy image with the TTS model, which is quick, perfectly balanced, and a blast to drive, but unfortunately, it's not available with a clutch pedal. Consequently, the TT RS has its work cut out for it in the image department, but we're expecting serious Porsche-pummeling performance. In addition to a menacing turbo-five soundtrack, the RS will scare off its prey with a magnetorheological suspension that continually adjusts suspension firmness for crisp handling without a punishing ride. The nineteen-inch wheels can only partly obscure the TT RS's enormous brakes -- 14.6-inch cross-drilled rotors with four-piston RS-badged calipers in front and 12.2-inch vented rotors in back. With the help of a forged crankshaft, the turbo five makes mincemeat of the TT RS's relatively light weight (about 3300 pounds) and catapults it to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Chick car? Not a chance.

Finch, Poppies, Dragonfly, and Bee
The Mughal emperors introduced botanical and ornithological paintings to northern India in the sixteenth century. This painting represents a variation on that tradition because all of the natural elements have been rendered in a fanciful palette of intense colors. While the fantastic rock form and the representation of more than one species recall paintings by the Persian artist Riza 'Abbasi, the use of jewel tones suggests that it was made in the southern Indian region known as the Deccan, where the poppy and the dragonfly were often used as emblems of the seasons.

The State of Poverty in America
We have two basic poverty problems in the United States. One is the prevalence of low-wage work. The other concerns those who have almost no work.
The two overlap.
Most people who are poor work as much as they can and go in and out of poverty. Fewer people have little or no work on a continuing basis, but they are in much worse straits and tend to stay poor from one generation to the next.
The numbers in both categories are stunning.
Low-wage work encompasses people with incomes below twice the poverty line—not poor but struggling all the time to make ends meet. They now total 103 million, which means that fully one-third of the population has an income below what would be $36,000 for a family of three.
In the bottom tier are 20.5 million people—6.7 percent of the population—who are in deep poverty, with an income less than half the poverty line (below $9,000 for a family of three). Some 6 million people out of those 20.5 million have no income at all other than food stamps.
These dire facts tempt one to believe that there may be some truth to President Ronald Reagan's often-quoted declaration that "we fought a war against poverty and poverty won." But that is not the case. Our public policies have been remarkably successful. Starting with the Social Security Act of 1935, continuing with the burst of activity in the 1960s, and on from there, we have made great progress.
We enacted Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, and many health indicators for low-income people improved. We enacted food stamps, and the near-starvation conditions we saw in some parts of the country were ameliorated. We enacted the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit, and the incomes of low-wage workers with children were lifted. We enacted Pell grants, and millions of people could afford college who otherwise couldn't possibly attend. We enacted Supplemental Security Income and thereby raised the income floor for elderly and disabled people whose earnings from work didn't provide enough Social Security. There is much more—housing vouchers, Head Start, child-care assistance, and legal services for the poor, to name a few. The Obama administration and Congress added 16 million people to Medicaid in the Affordable Care Act, appropriated billions to improve the education of low-income children, and spent an impressive amount on the least well-off in the Recovery Act.
All in all, our various public policies kept a remarkable 40 million people from falling into poverty in 2010—about half because of Social Security and half due to the other programs just mentioned. To assert that we fought a war against poverty and poverty won because there is still poverty is like saying that the Clean Air and Clean Water acts failed because there is still pollution.
Nonetheless, the level of poverty in the nation changed little between 1970 and 2000 and is much worse now. It was at 11.1 percent in 1973—the lowest level achieved since we began measuring—and after going up sharply during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush years, went back down during the 1990s to 11.3 percent in 2000, as President Bill Clinton left office.
Why didn't it fall further? The economics have been working against us for four decades, exacerbated by trends in family composition. Well--paying industrial jobs disappeared to other countries and to automation. The economy grew, but the fruits of the growth went exclusively to those at the top. Other jobs replaced the ones lost, but most of the new jobs paid much less. The wage of the median-paying job barely grew—by one measure going up only about 7 percent over the 38 years from 1973 to 2011. Half the jobs in the country now pay less than $33,000 a year, and a quarter pay less than the poverty line of $22,000 for a family of four. We have become a low-wage economy to a far greater extent than we realize.
Households with only one wage-earner—typically those headed by single mothers—have found it extremely difficult to support a family. The share of families with children headed by single mothers rose from 12.8 percent in 1970 to 26.2 percent in 2010 (and from 37.1 percent in 1971 to 52.8 percent in 2010 among African Americans). In 2010, 46.9 percent of children under 18 living in households headed by a single mother were poor.
The percentage of people in deep poverty has doubled since 1976. A major reason for this rise is the near death of cash assistance for families with children. Welfare has shrunk from 14 million recipients (too many, in my view) before the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families law (TANF) was enacted in 1996 to 4.2 million today, just 1.5 percent of the population. At last count, Wyoming had 607 people on TANF, or just 2.7 percent of its poor children. Twenty-six states have less than 20 percent of their poor children on TANF. The proportion of poor families with children receiving welfare has shrunk from 68 percent before TANF was enacted to 27 percent today.
What's the agenda going forward? The heart of it is creating jobs that yield a living income. Restoring prosperity, ensuring that the economy functions at or near full employment, is our most powerful anti-poverty weapon. We need more, though—a vital union sector and a higher minimum wage, for two. We also need work supports—health care, child care, and help with the cost of housing and postsecondary education. These are all income equivalents—all policies that will contribute to bringing everyone closer to having a living income.
There's a gigantic problem here, however: We look to be headed to a future of too many low-wage jobs. Wages in China, India, and other emerging economies may be rising, but we can't foresee any substantial increase in the prevailing wage for many millions of American jobs. That means we better start talking about wage supplements that are much bigger than the Earned Income Tax Credit. We need a dose of reality about the future of the American paycheck.
The second big problem is the crisis—and it is a crisis—posed by the 20 million people at the bottom of the economy. We have a huge hole in our safety net. In many states, TANF and food stamps combined don't even get people to half of the poverty line, and a substantial majority of poor families don't receive TANF at all.
Even worse, we have destroyed the safety net for the poorest children in the country. Seven million women and children are among the 20.5 million in deep poverty. One in four children in a household headed by a single mother is in deep poverty. We have to restore the safety net for the poorest of the poor.
Getting serious about investing in our children—from prenatal care and early-childhood assistance on through education at all levels—is also essential if we are to achieve a future without such calamitous levels of poverty. In addition, we must confront the destruction being wrought by the criminal-justice system. These are poverty issues and race issues as well. The schools and the justice system present the civil-rights challenges of this century.
Combining all of the problems in vicious interaction is the question of place—the issues that arise from having too many poor people concentrated in one area, whether in the inner city, Appalachia, the Mississippi Delta, or on Indian reservations. Such places are home to a minority of the poor, but they include a hugely disproportionate share of intergenerational and persistent poverty. Our most serious policy failing over the past four-plus decades has been our neglect of this concentrated poverty. We have held our own in other respects, but we have lost ground here.
Finally, we need to be much more forthright about how much all of this has to do with race and gender. It is always important to emphasize that white people make up the largest number of the poor, to counter the stereotype that the face of poverty is one of color. At the same time, though, we must face more squarely that African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans are all poor at almost three times the rate of whites and ask why that continues to be true. We need as a nation to be more honest about who it is that suffers most from terrible schools and the way we lock people up. Poverty most definitely cuts across racial lines, but it doesn't cut evenly.
There's a lot to do.

And yes, Issa and Lieberman and Collins are all working hard to add to the poverty ranks.S1789 and HR2309 have been proposed as a solution to the USPS financial problems which began in 2006 after Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act.S1789,sponsored by Lieberman,would cut 100,000 jobs from the Postal Service. Does United States need to have100,000 more unemployed workers. S1789 would decrease compensation for injured workers and end it for those over 65, when we don't need to take away compensation or lower compensation for injured workers.It would weaken the unions which promote a "living wage" at a time when we don't need to add more people to the "working poor", S1789 would close smaller post offices (some have already closed),and slow mail delivery by closing 200+ distribution centers.
In 2006 Congress voted to have the USPS fund 75 years of retiree health benefits in 10 amounting to 5.5 Billion a year.
Saddled with funding 5.5 Billion a year that had nothing to do with mail delivery, the USPS could no longer have it's revenue =costs as it had done until 2005.
If this bill is passed or HR2309 the USPS will end up virtually privatized with lower wages and benefits for it's workers,a scaled down and overworked workforce, more mail services contracted out, less services for the public including encouragement of curbside service in place of home delivery.

Divided planners OK Escondido high school
Classical Academy plans to take over former North County Times site
ESCONDIDO Plans for a 700-student high school campus in downtown Escondido received a key approval this week from a sharply divided Escondido Planning Commission.
The commission voted 4-3 Tuesday night to allow the Classical Academy charter school to take over the former headquarters of the North County Times.
Commissioners voting against the proposal said the school was too large and too intense for the 4-acre site, one block north of downtown's Grand Avenue retail district.
"That's jamming too many people into this small space," Commissioner Darol Caster said.
They also said the campus would worsen traffic congestion and parking in the area. And they said the school might make it harder for nightclubs and restaurants serving alcohol to open downtown.
But a majority of the commission said any parking and congestion problems would be minor, and they would be inevitable consequences of the city wanting to enliven downtown.
"This proposal meets the big-picture philosophical goals for downtown," Commissioner Guy Winton said.
The approval moves the Classical Academy one step closer to having the downtown campus it has sought for more than four years.
"It's an exciting opportunity for us, as we grow as an institution," Executive Director Cameron Curry said.
The approval could be appealed to the Escondido City Council in the next 10 days.
The school also must gain state approval for its plan to use as much as $20 million in revenue bonds renovating the Times buildings. But school officials have said they're highly confident that financing won't be a problem.
The Classical Academy agreed to buy the property for $7 million from U-T San Diego, which acquired the site when it bought the North County Times in October.
The high school is now spread across multiple buildings a few blocks away on Woodward Avenue and in the Escondido arts center.
School officials said Tuesday they expect the new campus to open in August 2014.
The renovation wouldn't add buildings to the Times site. But a hallway would be added to connect the north and south buildings, which are both about 30,000 square feet. And a second floor would be added in the south building, which formerly housed the printing press.
The first floor of the south building would become a large multipurpose room, where students could eat lunch and congregate. But the school would not have a kitchen or serve food.
A quad would also be added on the southeast corner, near Juniper Street and Valley Parkway. Students would be dropped off and picked up on the northeast corner, near Juniper and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Concerns about drop-offs and pick-ups were raised Tuesday by commissioners against the proposal, a nearby property owner and the owner of Owens Automotive across the street.
"It's a horrible mess," John Owens said of congestion around the Classical Academy's existing campus on Woodward. "This is going to create more problems downtown."
Commissioner Jeff Weber agreed. He also questioned why the city was allowing the school to have 199 parking spots when city codes require 283 for a development of this size.

my mom tries to get me to take a spoonful or more of honey each day saying, it will give me nutrition and energy. i just can't stand it as it's sooo sticky for one thing! and much too cloyingly sweet.
one of my vegan friends tells me that she doesn't avoid honey, because she claims to have researched multiple times and says the process of taking the honey does NOT harm the bees, but in terms of vegan philosophy - it is still a form of exploiting animals, no? people say honey is a better form of sweetener than artificial things like Splenda.
i'd love to hear your thoughts on this. things like Splenda/sucralose, um...sorbitol, Equal, how bad are these things truly for us? is it all myth? and how do they get splenda to be so much sweeter than regular sugar, that's still a mystery to me!
I use honey, very little but I do. I've been told it's not vegan.
I, personally would not ever use any artificial sweetener. They claim they're ok then in 10 years they find it causes __________________ fill in the blank.
Depending on how much you use, why not just plain, organic cane sugar? I think it would be better than the artificial stuff as long as you go easy on it. ANY sweetener you have to go easy on, even honey.
Some people use maple syrup. I don't care for the maple flavor in my tea. For baking I've seen recipes with pureed dates.
The less processed food you use the better, so whatever sweetener you decide to use, I would suggest using very little.
Vikki ~
I used to use honey in my tea, then learned it's not considered vegan. In my research concerning honey I learned how bees make it, and this one fact grossed me out. Honey is the result of bees regurgitating the nectar which they've taken in. (Their vomit.) Stevia is a natural low calorie vegan sweetener, or get some "Just like Honey" Rice Nectar made by Suzanne's Specialties. You could also try Agave sweetener although I do find that leaves an after taste in my tea.
We generally use either raw sugar, evaporated cane juice, or raw dark agave unless it's a usage that is good with real maple syrup (dark amber - made locally - yum! We buy about 1 1/2 gallons during sugaring season to see us through the year). The raw sugar is a slightly coarser texture which is good for some things, not as good for others. We don't go through sugar nearly as much as we used to these days but the crystalline structure is necessary in some cases (agave won't freeze, for example, so it's not good for sorbet type applications). Once our taste buds adjusted, things that we used to like are just too sweet and things that don't seem sweet to most people (baked potato skins) are just sweet enough.
We do keep honey around, though, locally produced type, for the occasional scratchy throat or really dry, cracked lips. A mug of plant milk with a pat of vegan margarine warmed with a spoonful of honey stirred in is a wonderful throat soother. Just a wee fingertip drop of honey on chapped lips works wonders without the waxy feel or the petroleum based gel stuff.
I find that stevia leaves an aftertaste I dislike and every artificial sweetener has a fairly immediate physical effect on me (from massive headaches to minor headaches to diarrhea) - if you check any of the -itols like sorbitol, you'll note that there's a warning that it can cause diarrhea and the like in those sensitive to it (and in everyone if enough is consumed).
Florida Crystals from Walmart are vegan...
"Just like honey" rice nectar is available from Pangea Vegan Products at Vegan Store.com. I've gotten numerous vegan products from there including food, personal care products, make up, cleaners, and vitamins.

@ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
| Adapted from sources found on www.holybible.com
| GENESIS - The word "genesis" signifies "generation" or "origin" and comes from the Greek translation of kjv@Genesis:2:4. It is an appropriate title for the first book of the Bible, which contains the record of the origin of the universe, the human race, family life, nations, sin redemption, etc. The first 11 chapters, which deal with primeval or pre-Patriarchal times, present the antecedents of Hebrew history from Adam to Abraham. The remaining chapters (12 - 50) are concerned with God's dealings with the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Jacob's son Joseph, all "fathers" of the people whom God has chosen to carry out His plan for the redemption of mankind. The book closes with these "Chosen People" in Egypt.

One of the hottest college baseball teams in the country is headed to the warmth of the Sunshine State.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs, under fourth-year head coach John Cohen, will participate in the Tallahassee (Fla.) Regional, which will be hosted by the No. 3 nationally-seeded Florida State Seminoles.
"We're excited to be playing in a great atmosphere like Florida State," Cohen said. "Mississippi State has had success there in the past. We feel like this is one of the best fields in the country."
MSU swept through the Tallahassee Regional in 2007 and defeated Clemson in a super regional in Starkville to make the school's eighth appearance at the College World Series.
This year's field once again consists of 16 regionals featuring four teams that play a double-elimination format from Friday through Monday if necessary. The second-seeded Bulldogs meet No. 3 Samford first in Tallahassee on Friday at 11 a.m., while the No. 1 Seminoles take on another Birmingham-based school in UAB.
Even though his team is hosting and has a high national seed, it does not keep Florida State head coach Mike Martin from being a little bit nervous knowing that Mississippi State is in the field.
"We know how hot Mississippi State is in winning (eight of its last nine) games," Martin said on ESPNU during its NCAA Selection Show Monday afternoon.
The Bulldogs (39-22) won the Southeastern Conference Tournament championship on Sunday by shutting out Vanderbilt 3-0. Along the way, MSU knocked off three ranked opponents in No. 14 Arkansas 9-1, No. 2 LSU twice 3-2 and 4-3, and No. 11 Kentucky 2-1.
"It's been a fun week and a wild ride," said Bulldog shortstop and SEC Tournament MVP Adam Frazier. "We know it's going to be a tough regional at Florida State; and we've got our work cut out for us."
The Seminoles (43-15) are making their 35th-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, which stands second all-time. Florida State won the regular season Atlantic Coast championship, but was eliminated early in the ACC Tournament.
Samford brings a mark of 39-21 to Tallahassee, while UAB stands 32-28.
The Blazers, which is coached by former MSU assistant Brian Shoop and vol-
unteer assistant Ron Polk, face the Seminoles in the other first-round matchup. Samford, another set of Bulldogs out of the Southern Conference, makes its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
The SEC led the nation with the number of teams making the tournament with eight, while the ACC was next with seven.
The winners of the 16 regionals advance to eight super regionals. Those hosts will be announced on http://www.NCAA.com/cws on Monday at approximately 10 p.m. after the conclusion of all regional action.
With the way the bracket is set up, the winner of the Tallahassee Regional advances to the super regional round against the survivor of the Palo Alto, Calif. Regional, hosted by Stanford.
The 66th College World Series begins play on June 15 at the TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
