text: 000 FXUS63 KSGF 052011 AFDSGF AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 311 PM CDT Sun Jul 5 2015 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Monday) Issued at 307 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015 Some weak convection has developed across southwestern Missouri along an area of weak convergence in the lower atmosphere. Additional activity is ongoing across northern Arkansas in the higher terrain. Some of this activity may linger into this evening and should diminish with the loss of daytime heating. The prospects for overnight convection then look low, but are not zero. Weak low-level jet-lets will induce localized areas of isentropic upglide which may be enough for an isolated shower or thunderstorm. More pop-up showers and thunderstorms will then be possible on Monday as a weak short wave trough pushes across the area. The best chance for thunderstorms will exist along and southeast of the I-44 corridor. Highs again on Monday should be in the middle to upper 80s. .LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday) Issued at 307 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015 A cold front will then push southeast into portions of extreme southeastern Kansas and west-central Missouri Monday evening. Thunderstorms will erupt late Monday afternoon along this front from northern Missouri down the I-35 corridor into northern Oklahoma. Cold pool conglomeration will be very aggressive as low- level theta-e differentials will be strong. While this line may be outflow dominant and starting to weaken by the time it reaches west- central Missouri later Monday evening, the strong cold pool alone may result in some wind damage potential. In addition to the wind threat along the leading edge of this line, we will have to watch precipitation amounts closely. High moisture content in the atmosphere will support heavy rainfall potential as this weakening line moves into western Missouri and extreme southeastern Kansas Monday night. A good chance for showers and thunderstorms will then persist through Tuesday and Wednesday as that front settles into our region and remains nearly stationary. The prospects for heavy rainfall will persist and a Flash Flood Watch may eventually be needed. The potential for any strong to severe storms will be highly dependent on how much instability can develop. Global models then try to build a summertime upper level ridge of high pressure back to the north and west across the Lower Mississippi Valley late this week. This may promote that front shifting back to the north of the Ozarks...along with the better thunderstorm chances. After cooler temperatures around the midweek period, a warming trend is in store for later in the week given that ridging. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 1250 PM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015 VFR conditions are expected at all terminals through the evening and into the overnight. Although the threat for an afternoon/evening shower or perhaps a storm are nonzero, the overall odds suggest the better chances will be over SGF and BBG. There is a strong signal for LLWS over all terminals after midnight. BBG will need to be watched again for visibility issues early Monday. Both surface winds and cloud cover are expected to increase by the end of this TAF period. && .SGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MO...NONE. KS...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Schaumann LONG TERM...Schaumann AVIATION...Frye

Mavericks forward Troy Murphy is out of his first start of the season. Murphy made his first start in 11 games since joining Dallas in Wednesday night's game against the New York Knicks. He played nearly 18 minutes, but didn't return after halftime because of an upper respiratory illness. Murphy was 0-for-3 shooting, all on 3-pointers and made both of his free throws. He had five rebounds. His first start came two nights after Murphy was 4-of-6 on 3s while scoring 12 points against Golden State.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure working with Robert Mansour in drawing up a living trust for our family. After viewing his video introduction to estate planning, and working with Robert, my wife and I felt extremely safe with knowing Robert is now in our corner. His personable demeanor, his knowledge of estate planning laws along with an intuitive approach to a complex subject for most, was made easy by Robert. We would recommend Robert in a heart beat.
Posted by Eric
I had a wonderful experience with Robert Mansour in handling my car accident case. He was very honest and straightforward in terms of how the system works with insurance companies and what to expect. He explained to me the legal aspects whenever there were important developments and he kept me updated all throughout the duration of my case until we reached a settlement. I highly recommend Robert Mansour if you are involved in a car accident and want legal representation.
Posted by Gary
Rob was very scrupulous and informative. He laid out my options clearly, went through his plan carefully, kept me informed on his progress and got me a reasonable settlement in a quick amount of time. Very professional.
Posted by Stephanie
If I could rate Robert Mansour higher, I would! I recommend him to anyone who wishes to have a trustworthy, good-intentioned, genuine, knowledgable, driven lawyer fight for their case. My entire experience with Robert Mansour was terrific. When I was rear-ended in October 2012, suffering physical injuries, I was only 25 years old and had never dealt with lawyers before, so I was a bit nervous about initiating a lawsuit. Thankfully, Robert Mansour explained everything in detail at the beginning, end, and during every step of the way. He eased my nerves and showed me that he really cared about me as a person and not just my business (which is what I was worried about). He even took the time to call my parents at different times during the case and explain the entire situation to them also, which I and they appreciated tremendously. He answered my calls within an hour if not answering right away, and answered my emails within a few hours. He and his staff are very personable, professional and detail-oriented- they made sure they received all of my pertinent medical records and calculated everything correctly to support my case to the fullest extent. I was never worried they would miss/forget something.
It is easy to say I was proud to be represented by him. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.
Posted by Patti
I utilized Rob's services after a car accident. Not only was I impressed with his kindness and concern, but he is an incredible professional who knows his stuff! Rob took the time to explain everything in detail, at each and every step. He negotiated brilliantly with the involved parties and resolved my case in a timely manner. I highly recommend Rob Mansour and will refer him to friends, family and clients.
Posted by Lorrel
Rob set the proper expectation for my wife's personal injury case and delivered on his forecasted results for us. We would highly recommend Rob as he was extremely through in his communications with us throughout the process. A responsive and truly professional attorney whose integrity proceeds him in our book.
Posted by Shari
We highly recommend Robert Mansour. Robert's professional services were excellent and he delivered the product as promised before a very tight due date. Robert kept us up to date throughout the process and promptly responded to any questions we had. Robert's advice and clear explanations along the way were very useful for us. This is a true professional at the highest standards at a very reasonable rate.
Posted by Dave
I contacted Robert Mansour in regards to a car accident I was involved in. He was kind enough to give me a consultation over the phone. The advice he gave me was perfect, and worked to my advantage when dealing with an insurance company.
I would like to emphasize that he did not have to consult with me, he did it out of the goodness of his heart.
I consider him to be genuine and would highly recommend his legal services to anybody that might need it.
Posted by Neil
Rob Mansour is an extremely intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable professional who cares about his clients. Rob is patient, kind, honest, all things you would love to have in your Attorney. His diverse background make him an expert in many areas of the law. In my opinion you cannot go wrong if you hire Rob Mansour to represent you.
Posted by Glenn Terry
Mr. Mansour has always been very helpful to me and any clients I have referred to him. I feel very trusted in his advice and direction of his legal services. He is very knowledgeable in Estate Planning and Personal Injury Services and I highly recommend his services.

-Iron Man (Mark 3, Iron Man or Mark 8, The Avengers)
-Thor (Thor: The Dark World)
-Black Widow (STRIKE Stealth Uniform, Captain America: The Winter Soldier)
-Hawkeye (Avengers: Age of Ultron)
-Bruce Banner and the Hulk (The Avengers)
-Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver (once Age of Ultron comes out)

Early years[edit]
Born John Henry Bradley in Antigo, Wisconsin to James ("Cabbage") and Kathryn Bradley, he was the second of five children. He grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin, and reportedly had an interest in entering the funeral business from an early age, He completed an apprenticeship with a local funeral director before he entered military service.
World War II[edit]
Bradley enlisted the U.S. Navy at 19, when his father suggested as a way to avoid ground combat. Following his completion of Navy boot camp, he began his hospital corpsman's training in March 1943. On its completion, he was stationed at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Oakland. He was then assigned to the Marine Corps Fleet Marine Force and sent to the "field medical service school" at a nearby U. S. Marine Corps base.[1] Successfully passing the difficult course, he was attached to the 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, of the 5th Marine Division, a newly activated infantry division which was then being formed at Camp Pendleton, California.
While serving in a rifle company as a platoon corpsman, Bradley took part in the assault on Iwo Jima in 1945, one of the most bitterly fought battles of the Pacific War's island-hopping campaign.
Battle of Iwo Jima[edit]
Bradley was a member of Third Platoon, Company E, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines on February 19, 1945 when he landed on Febrary 1945 with the ninth wave of Marines on the south end of Iwo Jima. After aiding American beach casualties there, accompanied his platoon towards Mount Suribachi, on the southwest end of the island. On February 21, Bradley saved the life of a Marine caught in the open under heavy Japanese fire. He wouldn't allow the platoon member to recover the wounded and did it himself. We was awarded the Navy Cross for his actions.
On February 23, Bradley and a replacement corpsman for the other Third Platoon corpsman, who had been wounded, PhM2c Gerald Ziehme,[2] were part of the 40-man combat patrol from his latoon, led by 1st Lt. Harold Schrier, that successfully climbed Mount Suribachi to capture the summit and raise the American flag attached on a steel pipe. Bradley was one of those who helped secure the flagstaff in the ground after it was planted.
Some two hours later, Bradley helped raise a second, larger flag attached on another pipe, jjoing with four Marines from Second Platoon who came up Suribachi to raise the replacement flag, and the company messenger; Sgt. Michael Strank, Cpl. Harlon Block, Pfc. Ira Hayes, Pfc. Franklin Sousley, and Rene Gagnon a runner who brought up the second larger flag to Lt. Schrier. The first flag and pipe was taken down at the same time the second flag and pipe went up... in order for the American flag to be seen more easily from the ships and the beaches off Mount Suribachi. Bradley helped secure the second flagstaff with rope in order to keep it in a vertical position in the sand and wind.
On March 12, Bradley and three other Marines receive shrapnel wounds from an enemy mortar round explosion. All four were quickly attended to by other corpsmen. Bradley was wounded in the legs and feet and was evacuated from the combat zone to the battalion aid station, field hospital, and was flown to Guam, Hawaii, and Oakland Naval Hospital. He was awarded the Purple Heart Medal. On March 14, another American flag was raised at the Marine headquarters location at the base of Mount Suribachi and the flag flying on the summit was taken down.
Bond tour[edit]
In May and June 1945, Bradley, still recovering from his leg wounds, participated with two other second flag-raisers, Ira Hayes and Rene Gagnon, in the Seventh War Loan Drive held in several American cities that raised over $26 billion to help win the war.[3][4] The three other second flag-raisers, Sgt. Strank, Cpl. Block, and Pfc. Sousley, were killed on Iwo Jima after the flag raising on Mount Suribachi.
Bradley was medically discharged from the Navy in November, 1945.
Military awards and decorations[edit]
Bradley received the following military awards:
- Navy Cross
- Purple Heart Medal
- Combat Action Ribbon[5]
- Presidential Unit Citation with silver 5⁄16 star
- Good Conduct Medal
- American Campaign Medal
- Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with FMF Combat Operations Insignia and bronze service star
- World War II Victory Medal
For extraordinary heroism in action against the enemy at Iwo Jima on Feb. 21, 1945 as a hospital corpsman attached to a Marine Rifle platoon. During a furious assault by his company upon a strongly defended enemy zone at the base of Mt. Suribachi, Bradley observed a Marine infantryman fall wounded in an open area under a pounding barrage by mortars, interlaced with a merciless crossfire from Machine guns.
With complete disregard for his own safety, he ran through the intense fire to the side of the fallen Marine, examined his wounds and ascertained that an immediate administration of plasma was necessary to save the man's life. Unwilling to subject any of his comrades to the danger to which he had so valiantly exposed himself, he signaled would-be assistants to remain where they were. Placing himself in a position to shield the wounded man, he tied a plasma unit to a rifle planted upright in the sand and continued his life saving mission.
The Marine's wounds bandaged and the condition of shock relieved by plasma, Bradley pulled the man thirty yards through intense enemy fire to a position of safety. His indomitable spirit, dauntless initiative, and heroic devotion to duty were an inspiration to those with who he served and were in keeping with the highest tradition of the United States Naval Service.
Post-war life and death[edit]
Marriage and family life[edit]
Bradley married his childhood sweetheart, Betty Van Gorp (1924-2013),[6] settled down in Antigo, had eight children, and was active in numerous civic clubs. He rarely took part in ceremonies celebrating the flag raising, and by the 1960s avoided them altogether. He fulfilled his lifelong dream by buying and managing his own funeral parlor, but was tormented by memories of the war. Betty says he wept in his sleep for the first four years of their marriage and kept a large knife in a dresser drawer for "protection". He also had many flashbacks of his best friend Iggy, Ralph Ignatowski, who was captured and tortured by Japanese soldiers. Bradley never could forgive himself for not being there to try and save his friend's life.[7]
Flag raising views[edit]
He rarely spoke of the raising of the flag, stating once that he "just happened to be there". His son James Bradley speculated that his father's determined silence and discomfort on the subject of his role in the Battle of Iwo Jima was largely due to memories of Bradley's wartime buddy, Marine Ralph "Iggy" Ignatowski.[7] In his own words, and only once, he briefly told his son what happened with "Iggy":
I have tried so hard to block this out. To forget it. We could choose a buddy to go in with. My buddy was a guy from Milwaukee. We were pinned down in one area. Someone elsewhere fell injured and I ran to help out, and when I came back my buddy was gone. I couldn't figure out where he was. I could see all around, but he wasn't there. And nobody knew where he was.A few days later someone yelled that they'd found his body. They called me over because I was a corpsman. The Japanese had pulled him underground and tortured him. His fingernails... his tongue... It was absolutely terrible. I've tried hard to forget all this.—John Bradley[7]
Official reports revealed Ignatowski was captured, dragged into a tunnel by Japanese soldiers during the battle, and was later found with his eyes, ears, fingernails, and tongue removed, his teeth smashed, the back of his head caved in, multiple bayonet wounds to the abdomen, and his arms broken.[7] Bradley's recollections of discovering and taking care of Ignatowski's remains haunted him until his death, and he suffered for many years from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Bradley rarely spoke of the flag raising, having seen it as an insignificant event in a devastating battle. He rarely talked to people about it and spent most of his life trying to escape the attention he drew from raising it. Bradley only spoke to his wife once about the raising during their 47 year marriage. That was on their first date, and he seemed very uninterested with it during the conversation.[7] His daughter Barbara said that "Reading a book on Iwo Jima at home would have been like reading a playgirl magazine…it would have been something I had to hide."[7] He told his children more than once that the only real heroes on Iwo Jima were those that did not survive. Bradley never told his family that he received the Navy Cross, and they only found out after his death.
Bradley refused to talk to reporters and avoided them at all costs. Throughout his life, the press would contact his home to ask for interviews and he trained his wife and children to give excuses such as he "was on a fishing trip in Canada." Even during the filming of the movie the Sands of Iwo Jima in 1949, Bradley told his wife to tell the townspeople that he was "on a business trip" in order to avoid attention that would be drawn to him."[7] Despite his reluctance to talk to the media, family, and friends about the incident, he told his parents in a letter shortly after the battle that raising the flag was "the happiest moment of my life."[7]
In 1985, Bradley gave his only taped interview at the urging of his wife, who had told him to do it for the sake of their grandchildren. During that interview, Bradley said he would not have raised the flag if he had known how famous the photo would become.[8] He stated that he did not want to live with the pressures of the media and desired to live a normal life.[9] He also stated, during the interview, that anyone on the island could have raised the flag and that he was just there at the right time.[8]
Bradley had a heart attack, but died of a stroke at 2:12 am in an Antigo hospital on January 11, 1994, at the age of 70, the last to die of the six servicemen who had raised the second flag. He is buried in Queen of Peace Cemetery, Antigo, Wisconsin.[7]

Following President Obama's State of the Union address, right-wing media predictably declared his speech speech "boring," "dull," and "flat" -- terms they have consistently used to describe most speeches Obama has given in the past two years.
On his radio show today, Glenn Beck attacked President Obama for calling in his State of the Union address for greater governmental investment in education and more respect for teachers. Beck said: "[Obama] said last night that teachers, the one in front of the classroom is the one who affects the child the most. Well, there's your problem, President Obama. It should be the person that gave birth or the person that is raising the child. Mom and Dad are the greatest teachers."
Beck added that by pushing respect for teachers, Obama was talking about "indoctrination" of our children.
So, did Obama ignore parents and say that teachers have the greatest effect on children? Of course not. Quite to the contrary, Obama actually said: "Let's also remember that after parents, the biggest impact on a child's success comes from the man or woman at the front of the classroom" (emphasis added).
And Obama didn't make just one reference to parents. He also said: "That responsibility begins not in our classrooms, but in our homes and communities. It's family that first instills the love of learning in a child. Only parents can make sure the TV is turned off and homework gets done. We need to teach our kids that it's not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair."
This is, of course, nothing new. Beck will NEVER let the facts get in the way of his attacks on progressives.
For a show that often likes to misinform their audience in favor of the right, the morning following President Obama's 2011 State of the Union Address proved no different for Fox & Friends. Besides telling their viewers what to think about the president's speech and redefining the word "investment," they went as far as to declare that the president's jokes "fell flat," and, as evidence, aired video clips in which they replaced the audience laughter and applause in response to the president's jokes with cricket sound effects. They manipulate, you decide.
From the January 26 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

Last night during his State of the Union address, in addition to calling for investment in infrastructure and education, President Obama called for our government to end subsidies to oil companies and instead invest in clean energy technologies:
OBAMA: We need to get behind this innovation. And to help pay for it, I'm asking Congress to eliminate the billions in taxpayer dollars we currently give to oil companies. I don't know if you've noticed, but they're doing just fine on their own. So instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy, let's invest in tomorrow's.
Now, clean energy breakthroughs will only translate into clean energy jobs if businesses know there will be a market for what they're selling. So tonight, I challenge you to join me in setting a new goal: by 2035, 80% of America's electricity will come from clean energy sources. Some folks want wind and solar. Others want nuclear, clean coal, and natural gas. To meet this goal, we will need them all - and I urge Democrats and Republicans to work together to make it happen.
Today on his radio program, Glenn Beck responded to Obama's call for government investment, and tried to draw a contrast between the type of government-funded innovation Obama was calling for, and what Beck thinks entrepreneurs like Bill Gates would prescribe:
So, according to Beck, it's "guaranteed" that innovators like Gates would say to Obama: "The first thing I need is the federal government to get out of my face."
Rather than try to read Gates' mind, Beck would have been better served by looking into what Gates has been up to lately. Bill Gates is a member of the American Energy Innovation Council, which has, very publicly, called for the government to drastically increase its investments in "accelerating energy innovation."

When President Obama said in the State of the Union tonight that this is "our generation's Sputnik moment," factually challenged intellectual lightweight Jim Hoft quickly took to his Twitter account to call Obama a communist:
It's mind numbing to have to point this out, but Obama's reference to Sputnik refers to the U.S. competing against the Soviet Union during the Cold War space race.
In calling this our "Sputnik moment," Obama was calling on America to "reach a level of research and development we haven't seen since the height of the Space Race" in order to create jobs and remain competitive. He was not expressing sympathy with the former Soviet Union.
Fox News' Todd Starnes objected to President Obama's words of support for "the people of Tunisia" during the State of the Union address. Starnes wrote on his Twitter account: "I thought this was the State of our Union?" However, Presidents Reagan and George W. Bush also referenced democratic movements in foreign countries during State of the Union addresses.
Fox Nation hosted a live chat during President Obama's State of the Union speech tonight and shared select comments on its Twitter feed, all of which were highly negative. Below are a selection of the tweets.

Needs work out of box
Looks nothing like picture Horrible and un-wearable out of the box. Once washed and styled looks great I use only as a fun time wig. Not everyday use
My favorite wig EVER!
I love this wig. I have it in several colors. Some I have trimmed the layers a little shorter but I love the messy look and no one EVER knows it's a wig. Just the right amount of movement ... not too curly, not too straight. It is very resilient. I just wash and shake and crimp with my fingers and go. Love love love it.
So natural!
I've worn this wig exclusively for a couple of years and I love its slightly messy "curls gone wild" look! I get compliments about "my hair" every time I am out and about! I always get the GL 29/31 color which is beautiful
and has fabulous highlights. My stylist is continually amazed by its natural look. To style it I shake it vigorously upside down put it on the wig head form then I rub the styling cream* in my hands and go through the wig scrunching it throughout (*It won't work without the CREAM; so reapply cream as necessary!) It will end up looking better than the picture I promise! You might prefer "scrunching" over and over to achieve the tousled look you are happy with. The secret is to keep it tousled as you go and you can spray it with the Style and Hold Hairspray as you scrunch if you want extra lift.
It ends up looking like a version of a "bob" and I sort of integrate the bangs into the forehead area of hair instead of making them a separate part of the style. If you haven't tried these tips don't give up yet! It's fabulous and fun!
I love this style!
Have purchased quite a few as I wear them all of the time. I receive so many compliments from men and women young and older. It is the best style I've worn and have no trouble styling. Find it to be just the right length and love the soft curls.
Too Much Hair
Too Much Hair - therefore won't style correctly!
I was really disappointed with this wig. The cut and style on the wig did not even look close to the pics on the model. I find that the style is much longer than shown and not near as curly. I worked with the wig for an hour trying to style it like the pic and then just gave up - it is not for me.

Six Nations: Wales remain contenders after crushing France in Cardiff
Last Updated: 22/02/14 7:16am
Wales responded to their crushing Six Nations defeat in Ireland two weeks ago by running out comfortable 27-6 winners against France in Cardiff.
Coach Warren Gatland had left his players in no doubt as to what was expected of them in the Friday night match, and they delivered spectacularly.
George North crossed as early as the fifth minute and although Leigh Halfpenny missed the conversion, he kicked five penalties to give his side a 20-6 lead at half-time.
France came out stronger after the interval but despite bossing possession they could make little headway against the physical Welsh pack, which was without late absentee Alun-Wyn Jones with a foot infection.
And the game was as good as won just after the hour mark when skipper Sam Warburton stretched for the line, the video referee eventually giving the green light.
Halfpenny opened the scoring through a 48-metre strike, before Wales attacked from deep via Halfpenny and wing Liam Williams before North capitalised on defensive hesitancy between France full-back Brice Dulin and scrum-half Jean-Marc Doussain to pounce for the touchdown.
Halfpenny missed the conversion attempt, but he quickly made amends by landing another long-range penalty and Wales could reflect on a dream start, leading 11-0 after just nine minutes.
France looked as though they had cut the deficit when wing Yoann Huget danced his way over Wales' line, but play was called back following a knock-on by Les Bleus skipper Pascal Pape as he tackled Wales fly-half Rhys Priestland, and the home side escaped.
It was a breathless opening, but France needed to establish a foothold in the game, and they opened their account through a Doussain penalty.
Doussain and Halfpenny then exchanged penalties, but after Doussain missed his next shot at goal, half-back partner Jules Plisson took and cut the gap with a penalty to 14-6.
Wales continued to look dangerous through the attacking midfield channels, with North prominent, while they were far more combative and productive at the critical breakdown area than they had been in Dublin almost a fortnight ago.
A fourth Halfpenny penalty soon restored Wales' 11-point advantage, and France coach Philippe Saint-Andre will have been left infuriated by his team's technical indiscipline as Halfpenny booted another three-pointer just before the break.
Saint-Andre replaced an ineffective Doussain with Maxime Machenaud for the second period, but France could still make little headway as Wales continued to boss the physical exchanges.
Referee Alain Rolland readily awarded penalties to both sides, especially on the back of some shambolic set-scrums, and Wales appeared in little danger until a trademark charge from French midfield powerhouse Mathieu Bastareaud almost breached their defence.
Rolland's patience at scrum-time then expired when one more collapse resulted in him sin-binning rival props Gethin Jenkins and Nicolas Mas, leaving both sides temporarily down to 14 men.
Wales had gone off the boil for much of the third quarter, yet they still held a commanding lead and were helped further by some glaring French handling errors.
A converted try from Warburton 17 minutes from time, after great work from Jamie Roberts, completed the scoring as the French were frustrated to the end.

Thanks : ) And I loved your post, DuffyD.
I enjoyed your post over there too, DuffyD. Apparently some people have their minds closed and set regarding Duffy, which is a real shame. If they took the time to actually LEARN about the little bear and what he's about to the fans in Japan and the fans elsewhere (including the US), they'd maybe understand why we defend him when people start talking trash.
I think another reason why I adore Duffy is because here in the states he's kind of an "underdog". And I always root for the underdog. Using baseball as an example, Duffy is the Tampa Bay Rays as, say, Mickey Mouse is the New York Yankees. Mickey is established with a long history and success. Duffy is the "new kid on the block" and still trying to fit in. Hope that makes sense.
My response is Mickey has a dog. Why cant he have a teddy bear? If a Teddy bear is too generic shouldnt mickey have like a ferrett instead of a dog?
I looked and voted on the poll, then looked at the results....
40 people said that they think Duffy is a soulless ripoff!!
Of course,
30 people say certainly not... Thank goodness at least 30
I just hate how people treat Duffy.
I found another post on that thread saying "Duffy is garbage"!!!
How could they say that about the lovable bear???

I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago for the Warner Brothers Home Entertainment Celebration event at Wizarding World of Harry Potter & I decided to take my Duffy with me to everything I attended. Duffy, of course, dressed in wizarding robes & even went to Olivanders and was chosen by a wand, which he brought home with him (so he's a wizard for sure). But what was interesting to me was that everywhere I went on Universal property, everyone went crazy for my Duffy. He was extremely popular, he posed for photos (even with some of the Potter stars when I went to the red carpet gala), people tried to buy him from me, and I had castmembers repeatedly hand me their phones, since they aren't permitted to use their phones on stage and beg for photos (especiallly when Duffy had a bit too much butterbear and passed out in the Three Broomsticks). One castmember was so taken with Duffy that she befriended my friend & I and walked us onto Forbidden Journey (thus saving us a 90 minute wait) and after the ride took us over to the Hog's Head Tavern and got us a free butterbear. It was amazing and I definitely felt like Duffy brings love.
Then ... Duffy changed clothes, got all wintery, and we went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. What a contrast! I got a lot of, "Ugh! Duffy, I hate that bear," comments and people (castmembers, mostly), in general were kind of nasty about the bear. Except from little kids and from the "real" Duffy at his Christmas photo op - he was so charming and fun when he spotted my Duffy that it made for a very memorable moment that night.
My experience kind of tells me that a lot of Disney people are closed-minded and Duffy snobs, but my personal feeling is that Duffy is what you make of him. If you have fun with him, he brings you back fun tenfold ( I guess you could say that about life in general though, couldn't you?) and I sure had a great time with my Duffy!
I'm not understanding in the least about all the Duffy hate and snobbery.
I didn't experience any Duffy hate when I was at WDW last month for the Halloween party and a day at Epcot. I actually had cast members totally fawning over Duffy and Shellie May (especially at Epcot), along with some guests here and there. That sucks you had to experience that, Sue.
On the other hand, as I posted yesterday in another thread, over at Busch Gardens, the stiltwalkers at the main entrance went absolutely insane over Duffy yesterday. They were all "OMG IS THAT DUFFY?!" And when I said it was, they were all "DUFFY! GIMME GIMME! TAKE OUR PICTURE!" I was totally cracking up! Then my mom pulled her Duffy out of her bag and it was Duffy pandemonium! And there have been other times I've been stopped by Busch Gardens employees asking if my bear was Duffy and just fawning over him. I even got "Jungle" Jack Hannah to pose for a photo with Duffy (who was dressed up in his safari outfit from BAB) when he was here for Earth Day back in April!
And my bears get a ton of attention when I take them to baseball games in the summer. We even got on TV once during a Rays game because one of the camera guys spotted my bears wearing Rays shirts and were holding cowbells. The teams 3rd base coach thought they were awesome and posed for a photo with them (the rest of the team seemed to "chicken" to hold a teddy bear for a photo though ).
So it seems here in the US, Duffy has a more positive impact OUTSIDE the Disney community, which is kind of odd, but I'll take my positives where I can get them!
I think the problem in the US is that Disney fans are largely cynical about the Company, and with many good reasons. They suspect Duffy to be nothing but a soulless money-making ploy out of the gate. And since the US Duffy merchandise quality, storybook creativity and product planning all seem to echo this, it's fairly difficult to challenge the presumption. Disney would have to invest heart and soul, sweat and tears, blood and capital in making Duffy mean more than that. I think Sue is absolutely right that "Duffy is what you make of him," but US Disney is trying to force-feed an image of Duffy as a kids-only-adolescence-disposable brand product. The Company is actively limiting what fans can feel comfortable making of Duffy, right from the start...and from the "source." People who already love Duffy resent this; and people who don't, well, this isn't really giving them incentive. Disney is
slowly but surelyvery quickly making it so that adult fans of Duffy will either face a stigma of public perception of Duffy as a "baby toy" or simply give up on the character. Disney's marketing has completely failed to be sensitive or bold enough to see and understand Duffy as a character rather than simply a product. This was, is and has always been the "pixie dust" that fundamentally transformed the Walt Disney Company's epic failure with the Disney Bear into the Oriental Land Company's colossal success with Duffy, not unlike Cinderella's magical transformation. Disney still thinks it's dealing with the former. Sadly, I don't see this changing anytime soon.
My one hope is that if they do ever bring Shellie May over, they might use her launch to jumpstart a soft re-launch of the Duffy brand. Perhaps they'll get more creative and take the brand in a different, less childish, more creative direction. I have my doubts here, too, though. Disney does not like to admit mistakes for one. But secondly, due to the terrible marketing, I think Duffy is probably already known to too many people as a "kid's thing" or "offensive heartless money ploy." Changing this in people's minds is very difficult at this point, so I think Disney will likely focus on the easier task of trying to expand the market for kids. I hope they don't bite. I hope parents say "no," and I hope kids say they prefer Build-A-Bear. As much as I want Duffy to succeed in the US and globally, I don't want ever more people around the world to think they are talking about Duffy when really they only know the Disney Bear with stolen names and false validity. I would rather people not know Duffy at all, and still have the chance to discover him, than think that Disney's vision is really what he's all about. What Disney is selling is NOT what people are buying in Japan...nor what the Oriental Land Company is selling, actually.
I think Shellie May is more likely to turn the Duffy brand into a teddy bear "Princess" franchise, but if the Walt Disney Company releases Shellie with creative, original story investment and a truly high-quality costume line; I think there's still the potential for change...but it's an uphill battle. They have to fight their own marketing (and apparently their own instincts^^), and that would mean stepping back from some of the childish and cheap "knock-off" tactics they've used so far. I don't think this is gonna happen, and I don't think a lot of the folks who really love Disney and want to take it a little seriously as an art house are gonna go for what they're doing with Duffy so far. Honestly, I can't say I blame them. But it is a shame. There is nothing but limitless potential with Duffy - there are plenty of people who would love to connect to authentic Duffy's love-bringing vibe. But as often happens, Disney has so far failed to believe in its own power to produce magic...and instead tried to parlay someone else's phenomenal talent into money in their hands. That's not (exactly) how this Company was built,* that's not what the Disney brand should mean, and that is definitely not what Duffy is about. Maybe they won't try to force Shellie May to sell herself as less than she's worth when and if she debuts; much as I doubt it, I'm still masochistically hopeful. There is an audience who wants this, and it's not only three people standing in the back. A lot of us are willing to line up and pay for seats in the front row; we'd be the core audience if only Disney would remember its legacy and choose to connect with us.
*There is a difference between "inspired by" and "hacked."^^

Sue, Aimster, I'm amazed at your Duffy experiences outside the Disney parks! I can't imagine anyone being like that outside of Florida, but I guess you never know. (Now I almost want to get a full-sized Duffy just to be treated like a rock star like you two! LOL)
How sad that anyone would actually comment on hating Duffy, though. When I see someone wearing a jersey for a team that, say, robbed my team of a Super Bowl, I don't say mean things. I may THINK them when I shouldn't but I don't say them.
I'll be visiting Disneyland very soon with tiny Duffy, so it will be interesting to see if I hear any of that "hate." I can see how people think a $30 bear is a shameless money grab and get mad (even if he's adorable). But I don't understand why anyone would think an $8 bear in homemade clothes isn't lovable. I guess we'll see!
It makes me sad that Disney fans are so closed off to new ideas. I can understand their cynicism. After all, I share it. However, I can look past things to see value if it's there. Some people, obviously can't. Disney shoots itself in the foot often in that regard, so it's hard not to be cynical about their merchandise.
I agree with DuffyD's assessment, and maybe I'm a "Duffy snob" in reverse too. Although, I do want everyone to be able to know and love the Duffy that rose out of Japan. It's an uphill battle to make sure that message doesn't get lost in Disney's cheapening of the bear here though. What they did for Duffy in Paris is a great start, and one I wish they would push further and create not just a "for kids" brand, but something everyone can love.

A Taste of New Orleans
On June 23, 2008, the Louisiana House of Representatives appointed the Sazerac the official cocktail for the city of New Orleans. According to Russ Bergeron, beverage manager at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, the complex libation—a seamless marriage of sweet, bitter, and herbaceous flavors—is one of the oldest cocktails in the world; and while stories suggest differing dates for the cocktail's birth, most historians agree that the modern iteration of the drink can be traced back to the mid 19th century.
During its early days served along the bars of New Orleans's saloons, the Sazerac was a Cognac-based cocktail, which harkens back to its earliest days in France. It wasn't until the European phylloxera epidemic—a plague that destroyed much of France's vineyards over a 25-year period during the late 19th century—that the cocktail's roots shifted from Cognac to rye whiskey. That whiskey iteration is the one that has enjoyed a renaissance, thanks to the classic-cocktail movement that began sweeping across the United States about a decade ago. Naturally, there are some enthusiasts who prefer the elder version of the drink, but as Bergeron explains, the chilled glass of Cognac with Peychaud's bitters and a dissolved sugar cube lacks the complexity that whiskey can provide. "The rye works better in the drink because it's not as sweet," he says. "I like to toe that line right in the middle between bitter and sweet; that's where it needs to be."
On paper, the Sazerac is a simple cocktail to construct—an absinthe- or Herbsaint-coated rocks glass filled with a strained mixture of rye whiskey, dissolved sugar (or simple syrup), and a few generous dashes of Peychaud's bitters. But as most Sazerac aficionados have experienced, not all Sazeracs are created equal. It all comes down to proportion, says Bergeron, who previously worked the Sazerac Bar at the hotel. "Don't add too much sugar initially," he instructs. "If you use one sugar cube, that's enough. You can always add more if you need to, but you can't subtract."
Conversely, he advocates a heavy hand with the Peychaud's bitters. Most published recipes only call for a dash or two, but that's likely not enough. A proper Sazerac should be closer to red than to pink.
Sadly, Sazerac devotees who make the pilgrimage to the Big Easy in hopes of raising their glasses at the cocktail's birthplace are destined for disappointment. That establishment, the Merchants Exchange Coffee House, shut its doors long ago. Fortunately, New Orleans enjoys a lenient open-container law, which means Sazerac Bar patrons could take their beverages to go; and should they want to stroll down memory lane, Exchange Place, the alley where Merchants Exchange once sat, is only a 5-minute walk from the Roosevelt Hotel.
We admit, pouring the contents of a chilled rocks glass into an incongruous plastic cup seems a bit sacrilegious, and asking your tuxedoed bartender to give your red Solo cup an Herbsaint rinse likely won't go over well. But it never hurts to ask.
