Rated 5 out of 5Â by GabbyGee Versatile and adorable I bought the 'Free to Wander' grey t-shirt in x-small. The message describes a good part of my life and my personality. It is the perfect casual top - a little, dare I say, more elegant than a regular t-shirt. I'm very petite so I took in the sleeves a bit so that they really hug my arms and don't fall lower than my elbow and every time I've worn it thus far, I've done so with a low slung belt. The back details and inverted pleat are so cute. I've been receiving compliments. I'm hoping that FP brings back the olive coloured 'Dance with Shadows' one again; that message speaks to me also. 6.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by japsparkle comfy Tee I got this shirt for 30 dollars from my local FP store. Got the XS.. very roomy. I like the message on the shirt and the back sweater material. 5.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rumnroses Comfy tee This shirt is perfect for a casual day, has all of the comfort of a t shirt, but not as sloppy. Fits true to size, feels great and looks cute knotted on the side. 5'5" 120, small. 4.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Br3i Comfy but not sloppy I'm not the type to ever look sloppy when I just want to be comfy on a lazy Sunday. This tee is perfect if you are like me an still want to look cute on your comfy day. I got the "free to wander" in XS and its perfect! I'm 5'1 and 110LBS. It's definitely a big tee as I still have tons of room so I'd size down but they don't make anything smaller than XS. I like to pair this with the FP Frll Foldover Legging in black and some simple flip flops ;) 3.16.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Scout5 Love it! I ordered the olive combo/"Dance with Shadows" in a size Large. The graphics look just like the pics. I normally get a M or L in FP, depending on what fit I want, and this tee fits quite oversized. It looks boxy, but drapes well. The material is not 100% cotton as the description says; it is actually 50/50 cotton/poly, which is VERY soft! The mesh part is 50/50 poly/rayon. I really want the other color now, too! But I will probably order a Medium in that one just to mix it up and hopefully get a more fitted look. I am 5'7", and the length is a little longer on me than on the model. The arms don't fit small at all on me; they are a little roomy. 2.27.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPKellyWalnut boxy and flattering at the same time As a previous reviewer said, the body of the tee is boxy, but the sleeves are nice and fitted so it doesn't look like you've been swallowed up. I'm typically an XS but sized up to a M only because I wanted to exaggerate the slight hi-low hemline and wear it off-shoulder. I love wearing knits like these loose and flowy, and if that's your thing definitely consider sizing up at least once! If that's not your cup of tea, it does fit pretty true to size so stick with your usual. The woven panel on the back is such a fun, unexpected detail too! 2.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Austinite Love this tee! I wasn't crazy about this top just looking at it on the hanger but tried it on anyway. I absolutely loved it! It's really super adorable on in fact the pics don't even do it justice. I purchased the grey and felt so great wearing it so I went back and purchased the olive. Since they have two different graphics they're ally don't look like the same shirt. I bought my regular small and it fits just like the pics. It's loose and easy! 2.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by deerheart so incredible cute and comfortable. This is a very boxy t with skinny sleeves...and absolutely adorable. My local fp had the light gray in my size and i tried it on despite thinking i should absolutely not pay almost $70 for a very simple t...BIg mistake, i fell for it-it looks and feels great on and who can not love the text? i think it is true to size. Im 5'4'' 100 lbs 32b and the XS is perfection. I am slender but have toned arms and the sleeves were not too tight on me but fit a little bit tighter than the model 1.26.2013

Fishing report
Its been another wet and cold week with anglers finding it not so easy especially those holding a pole. With the wind making it hard to see the float going under. But Andrew Man fished the match on Sunday and bagged 46.10lb while Nigel Morris fished the canal to land 36lb. Luke Surocking was on peg 14 to land 35.4lb. On the specimen lake John Davies and Lee Calford fished the old cabin to land 3 upper doubles between them Another angler Mark Thomas fished peg 4 to land 3 fish to 22lb. The mid week match was won by Mike Williams with a 103lb of peg 13
White Springs
Despite the cold wet frosty conditions the fishing has still been quite good, with 22 anglers here last Sunday breaking the ice for 3 hours before they could fish there match. The anglers managed to fish from 12.30-4.30 it was cold and windy but there was some good results with Adam Mitchell on the canal weighing in 62.12lb in 2nd place was Mike Williams with 42.10lb mainly catching carp around the 3lb mark. On the match Lake Nigel Morris done it again on peg 7 weighing 41.6lb 2nd was Simon Jones peg 22 with 40.4lb and in 3rd was Eddie Exhall peg 14 with 40lb. The weights were all close making it all very interesting to the end whistle. The pit has also produced some nice bream and roach the last week. The specimen lake has been slow but fish around the 20lb mark are showing more mid-water as the fish are just cruising just looking to hard for food. Our mid week Wednesday matches are carrying to £30 golden pegs. Also for the month of Feb. members are getting an extra £2 off their ticket. Pleasure fishing coasting just £3 per day so come and join up for the 2012 season and save on the cost of fishing.
What a difference a week can make, White springs sees yet another 40lb fish on the bank. With Billy the bear landed at 40.2lb by 14 year old Michael Mac from Pembroke. The last time the fish came out it was 37lb. Mike landed the fish off peg 1 (the old cabin) fishing out towards the islands using white springs banana boillies and Lamos pop corn. Mikes mate Morgan also fished in Megs corner to land 3 fish. Another Pembroke angler to do well was Sasha he landed 5 fish to 26.6lb. Another angler to do well was Jason from Bridgend who managed to land 3 fish from peg 9 the best being a 29lb mirror. The fish are back on the feed after a slow spell. On the match lake Nigel Morris is still on a roll coming 1st in the match on Sunday with 85.11lb. On the canal Rob Jones managed to get 75.8lb, then Luke Surocking with 52.14lb. Mark Goodhall found the fish after fishing half the match with out a bite then managed to land 47.8lb. On the match lake Neil Daniels won the match with 33lb with mike Williams coming 2nd with 28.12lb. The perch have been a little bit slower for the time of year. But Roger of West Wales managed to land 4 perch of the specimen lake the best being 3lb 9oz.

Dickey, none of us are experts in this field, but as an amateur I can tell you at least two major differences between CA and LA. I don't think whatever created the CA coastline is still active so erosion means loss. The engine that created the LA coast line, the Mississippi River/sediment, is very much still active and needs restoration. Also, we do not have the tide extremes that they do. Our tides average about 1.5 feet with extremes running 3 feet. In CA, tides can range 12-18 feet daily.
Josie, now that you got that out of your system, please address the more substantive point. The same administration that assails soda immediately announces an easing on pot enforcement. In keeping with your high priority on health and healthcare costs, please tell us how this is going to make us healthier, and lower our premiums.?
Spock, it all sounds very fattening to me. Sounds like we need some major government intervention. For the sake of people's health, of course. It's all about the folks, Spock.
Prof, the problem with speaking in an a consistently intemperate manner is threefold. You often have to eat your own words, they have a bitter taste, and they tend to make you choke when swallowing them.
Source, you have some very selective memories of Harry Lee. I remember a sheriff who was always off participating in a variety of very expensive shooting sports while undermining the individual gun rights of citizens. I remember how the only way you were going to get a CCW permit in the parish was to contribute to his campaign, and even then it was at his whim. I remember how he vehemently fought against a state CCW law to retain his own power and patronage plum. I remember how he tried to hold himself above the law when he got caught red handed hunting over a baited field in MS, a federal offense. I remember how he bragged about counting gangsters among his friends. I remember how he refused to open his books to outside scrutiny, and saying he didn't have to account to anyone for "his money" (public money).
You are welcome to remember him as fondly as you like, but that doesn't change the facts. Lee was just another common politician with the same common vices.
Spock, I'm so glad you took me serious because not everyone did. Dickey who is, as usual, blissfully unaware that Dough Nut day was an official day in NY last Friday thought I was exaggerating.
Now, I don't want to seem like I am intentionally burdening you, it's just that I have respect for your prowess in these matters. I now need you to look up the caloric content of pot. The city that declared war on soda and salt now seems like it wants a CEASEFIRE on pot. We need to be consistent on these matters.
You just can't make this stuff up.
WT, Josie is a perfect example of what is in our future, and why healthcare is so important to these people. They want to use it to invade and control our daily lives all under the guise of what is good for us, and they appoint themselves as the arbiter. Notice how Josie hasn't commented on NY easing restrictions on pot only days after a proposed crack down on soda? Perhaps Josie will tell us all how this is a good idea, and how it will lower healthcare costs for all of us?
These people all talk a good game until it affects them. Did you see Will Smith in France recently? He was parroting Obama, and talking about how we should all pay more, and that he was willing to pay much more to achieve his fair share. The commentator told him that in France, his fair share would be about 75% of what he earned. As it was translated to him, the look on his face, and the recoil of horror was priceless.
Kev, if you have an objection to this being a story then take it up with NOLA.com because they published it. However, none of that changes the fact that it was a story, and I saw value in commenting. Most of my comment was directed towards filling out the accurate point that you made about Tulane, and giving it some context for our newer residents, and those who were too young to remember.
I'm not sure how Bush made it into the story, and all the hostility of your comment for that matter. I said nothing against either Mr Comb's. I complimented the son on winning the award he earned, and I agreed he should accept it. His father is under no obligation to accept my idea, but you must understand that's all it was. I said it would be a classy and generous thing to do, and I stand by that. The kid gets the scholarship he earned, and the father gets to be proud, AND do something to help someone else's son who is not as privileged. That seems like a decision where everybody wins, and I never dreamed it would be controversial.
No, I did not watch his show, or read magazines on the life and time of rappers. I didn't question his history, or his record of generosity. It may be a sterling record for all I know. However, that doesn't prohibit him from doing something else nice, does it? The only criticism in my comment were the one's aimed at self serving politicians who abused the Tulane scholarships, and there were many.
As for the remainder of your comments, I don't know what AK's cost on the street. I don't deal with criminals dealing in stolen items, especially guns. Seeing "one" in Kenner means very little. It could have indeed been only one. Or, it may jave been one of the few junk parts guns around that I wouldn't buy. You get what you pay for. Expect an actual factory one to retail about $500 last I checked. I have seen the exact gun get as high as $1500, or as low as $300 depending on supply and demand. I will take your word on PS3.
And they vote often, too.
The Battle of Midway was a massive defeat for the Imperial Japanese Navy, and was a major turning point in the war because the Japanese lost things they could not replace. Losing about 250 carrier aircraft was problematic, but losing 4 carriers and hundreds of their best, most experienced carrier based aviators was a loss they never recovered from.
Although our smaller, less experienced, and outgunned naval force matched theirs equally in courage and tenacity, we had one major thing going for us that was decisive. Our intel people had cracked the Japanese Naval Codes, and we were reading their mail.
Although this was a great victory for the USN, it must be remembered that the war dragged on for over 3 more very hard years. There was still a long hard road ahead with stops in places like Saipan, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. Unknown, godforsaken places where legends were born, and where American steel and courage would be tested in horrific conflicts. If it had not been for "Fatman & "Littleboy" the war may have dragged on for many more years. It was the first and only war fought and ended with nuclear weapons.
However, this week 70 years ago, the great naval armada of the IJN limped home to the Empire of the Sun with it's tail between it's legs minus 4 irreplaceable flat tops. Go Navy!
Hugo, with all due respect, you might want to rethink that Tom Benson idea. He doesn't seem capable of running any business without massive taxpayer support. I don't want to start funding the TP with tax payer dollars.
Nevada is hoping they don't retreat too far east.
Spock, thanks for the update. This must be a fairly recent development because they were there for years. In any event, I will notify Benny Grunch. I already have a call into him about daily delivery of the TP.
Gear, you are more than welcome to challenge any claims made by 5 miles, and to present your own views for the edification of everyone that is interested. I will look forward to reading them in your comments addressed to him, not me. I'm sure it will be an interesting exchange, and people can make up their own minds. It will also relieve me of this duty that you seem to think I have of defending or rejecting him.
While it isn't my policy to confuse the brief uncertainty, followed by four years of certainty, found in elections with the never ending uncertainty of disaster planning, I don't dismiss the value of research in general. I am also able to distinguish the difference between probabilities in physics and politics. I am just not as invested in it as you with regards to politics. We will just have to disagree on our differing beliefs and approach.
I don't believe I ever said that Obama would not get a plurality of the dem vote. In fact, I twice said that he would. Again, you are confusing my comment with that of someone else. You were having a debate with 5 mile on "the percentage of Southern Democrats voting for Romney." I was making a very different point, and purposely staying clear of your other debate. I said I believed he was losing support in his own party. I agree that this race will be close, and that is why I argued that because of our electoral system, it will not take a mass exodus from Obama to cost him the election. It could be moderate changes in strategic places that could turn the tide against him, and seal his fate. It could well be triggered by known, or as yet, unknown events. It will be largely moderates and independents who abandon him, but don't be too quick to rule out some partisans. Again, it won't take many in swing states. When people lose their job, and that threatens the family home they tend to be a little less partisan. If you are a UMW coal miner in Ohio whose company was bankrupted by Obama's new regulations, then that is bound to challenge previously held views.
In your final para, the operative word is "reasonable". I did not say that I would label all predictions as "reasonable". I tend to distance myself from extremes in both opinion, and examples put up for illustration of a point. One only has to read these boards to realize there are plenty unreasonable positions out there. When I read them I am perfectly capable of drawing my own conclusions, and I don't feel compelled to address or refute every one.
I will look forward to having future dialogues with you on different topics, and I will read with a keen interest any further remarks you have for 5 mile.
Kev, just a point of information. By and large, the people of the state(it was statewide) knew nothing about the Tulane Scholarship program before Sidney Barthelemy gave one to his son, and had the award announced in his high school graduation program as if it was somehow a real award. When outrage built and questions mounted, Sidney complained that all the politicians had been doing it for years. He was right, and it was probably the only time he was right in 8 years about anything.
It was not limited to the mayors office. For decades, council members, tin pot politicians in city government, senators and congressman, state legislators and officials, and governors were all in on it. This was thousands of scholarships over the years.
A few gave them out based on merit and need, but most gave it to their friends, their families, and even themselves. The scandal ran across all racial and political lines. it was an equal opportunity scandal. Many of those that participated are still in politics.
It would be a classy thing if in accepting the scholarship earned by young Mr Combs, his father would create a $54,000 scholarship for a disadvantaged kid who could benefit as well. Let the son reap the reward that he earned(but doesn't need), and let the father make a generous gesture he can well afford to help someone else in need. Win- win.
Koonie, on I59 just south of Hattiesburg, you can see thousands of them from the interstate. I wonder how many more you could see if you exited and looked?
Muham, whenever I get a reply from someone that starts off with an insult, and has little or no other substance, I immediately go to their history. To me, that usually indicates a weak mind with little to actually contribute, and it is usually a consistent pattern. Your history proved me to be an oracle.
Your history was replete with partial, or one line comments that consisted mostly, if not exclusively, of meaningless invective. So, now that I know who I am dealing with,let me tell you that your names don't intimidate me, and I don't need them to shred you on the argument. Facts speak for themselves.
I'm not predicting a return to $12/barrel oil anytime soon, but I don't rule it out because, unlike you, I understand supply and demand. I also understand how forces can be moved that could create it. A huge, exploitable oil find outside the Middle East, a major slow down in China & India's growth, or a collapse of Europe come to mind as both examples and possibilities.
I know not many people thought they could get a mortgage cheaper today than 50 years ago. Times change, but not ignorance.
My point was that even if the market moved substantially in that direction, this president would not allow it. He is anti oil, and determined to push us into other energies that are not ready, or cost effective on a large commercial scale. If you spent less time thinking of all those new names to call people, and more time educating yourself you might appear more credible.
Cajuntrucker, your point on intel is well taken. However, what is both the point and the value of that intel when President Empty Suit rushes to the microphone to divulge classified information before it can be exploited in order to pat himself on the back? What good is an intel program when it's actions are constantly hamstrung, and it's successes divulged publicly? How can you have effective programs when Navy Seals, who love the shadows and background, are ordered to cooperate with Hollywood producers making election year puff pieces? Tactics, methods, and sources are all put at risk and compromised.
TWM, many did not share your high regard for Pennington, and I was one of them. I'm not sure why you thought he was so eminently more qualified, but all of this just a difference of opinion.
I remember this race well. Pennington was the preemptive favorite, and basically it was his election to lose. He managed to do so in grand style to an unknown novice. What did RP in was his own gaffes, awkwardness, and no ability to think on his feet. He never came across as someone who had assimilated, and was one of us. He was the perennial outsider. As it turned out, he really wasn't one of us, and he beat a hasty retreat from the city when he lost.
His "dagger in the heart" moment came when he called a hasty, ill advised, pointless, grandstanding, and profoundly stupid press conference on the Federal Courthouse steps. He claimed to have a smoking gun on Nagin that had "sickened him to his core." He rambled on incoherently for a few minutes, and abruptly left without really saying anything. It looked like he was having an "Alzheimers Moment". That sank his campaign, and he never recovered. Nagin was largely unknown, but perceived positively by many to be a new start from old politics.
We all know how that turned out, and Katrina revealed what an empty, incompetent, self serving shell of a man he was. He was now a known quantity, and there were no more mysteries about the man. He now had a record, and it was dismal. He ran against a very qualified field of candidates. Some were very well known, and had proven records of performance. Ron Forman comes to mind.
Nagin had lost much of his white support because of incompetence, so now he pursued the black vote in a ugly, racially based campaign. He won enough black support to put him over the top, and they paid for it dearly over the next four long years.
So, when Nagin was largely unknown he won with white support over a candidate who was struggling with complete sentences and coherent thought. He was viewed as new, different, business oriented, and full of promise. The white voters were dead wrong about Nagin. On reelection, there were no more illusions about who this man was. We may not yet have known all his flaws, but we knew they were wide and deep. He was no longer an enigma, and he was clearly not the leader to lead the recovery. He won with increased black support primarily on race. They were profoundly wrong, too.
Nola, I am a big proponent of fairness which not everyone is. Dickey is not interested in fairness, opportunity,and individual achievement. He is for government managed outcomes, entitlements, and government solutions to every problem. Equality is not his endgame. Having government make us all the same is.

What is Financial Aid?
Financial Aid is money provided to the student and the family to help them pay for the student's education or which is conditioned on the student's attendance at an educational institution. Major forms of financial aid include gift aid (grants and scholarships) and self-help aid (loans and work).
I don't think I qualify for Financial Aid, should I even bother applying?
You should apply. Every student who submits a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) might be eligible to receive at minimum a fixed interest rate non-need based unsubsidized Stafford loan.
Is there a difference in Financial Aid between undergraduate and graduate Students?
Yes. Undergraduate students may be eligible for federal grants and additional grant money from SNHU. Undergraduate day students have additional financial aid resources available to them. Graduate level students are only eligible for Stafford loans
No one is helping me pay for college; that makes me an independent student, right?
The federal government determines your dependency status by asking a series of questions on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you indicate no to each of these questions, you are a dependent student.
When does SNHU receive my FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)?
SNHU will receive your FAFSA information from the federal government approximately 3-5 business days after they have processed your completed application. You will receive an email from the federal processor when your information has been released to SNHU.
I have been selected for Federal Verification, did I do something wrong?
No. Approximately thirty percent of all students who apply for financial aid are selected for Federal Verification. Visit the Student Award Guide for additional information about Federal Verification.
You offered me more federal loans than I need, why?
At SNHU, you are offered the maximum amount of loans that you are eligible to receive. It is recommended that you borrow only what you need. You may choose not to borrow the full amount you are offered by making an adjustment on your financial aid award letter.
How do I use Financial Aid to pay for my books?
You are required to pay for your books out of pocket. Subsequently, if the amount of your financial aid per term or semester exceeds the cost of your tuition and fees, you will be able to reimburse yourself for the cost of your books through the refund process.
I received financial aid refunds from my previous school, how does SNHU process these refunds?
Visit SNHU's refund page to find out about student account refunds.
I am coming back to school, how do I defer my loans?
Fill out the Enrollment Verification Request Form and fax it to our Registrars office at 603.629.4647.
My income this year is much less than last year, should I let you know?
Yes. You may request the Office of Financial Aid to review your current situation through the appeal process
Financial Aid Glossary:
A formal request to have a financial aid administrator review your aid eligibility and possibly use Professional Judgment to adjust the figures
Cost of Attendance (COA)
The total amount it should cost the student to go to school, including tuition and fees, room and board, allowances for books and supplies, transportation, and personal and incidental expenses.
A loan is in default when the borrower fails to pay several regular installments on time or otherwise fails to meet the terms and conditions of the loan.
Occurs when a borrower is allowed to postpone repaying the loan. The most common type of deferment is a in-school deferment.
Dependency Status
Determines to what degree a student has access to parent financial resources.
Entrance Loan Counseling (ELC)
Students with educational loans are required to complete entrance loan counseling before they receive their first loan disbursement.
Exit Loan Counseling
If a student graduates or is no longer enrolled at SNHU, they are required to complete exit loan counseling.
Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
The Expected Family contribution (EFC) is the minimum amount of money that the family is expected to be able to contribute to the student's education, as determined by the Federal Methodology need analysis formula approved by Congress. The EFC is calculated by results that are reported on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (see below).
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Form used to apply for Pell Grants and all other need-based aid. As the name suggests, no fee is charged to file a FAFSA.
Federal Methodology
The need analysis formula used to determine the EFC. The Federal Methodology takes family size, the number of family members in college, taxable and nontaxable income and assets into account.
Federal Processor
The organization that processes the information submitted on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and uses it to compute eligibility for federal student aid.
Federal Verification
Verification is a review process in which the FAO determines the accuracy of the information provided on the student's financial aid application.
Financial Aid Package
The complete collection of grants, scholarships, loans and work study employment from all sources (federal, state, institutional and private) offered to a student to assist them with attending a college or university. See Reviewing & Understanding your Financial Aid Award.
Financial Need
The difference between the COA and the EFC is the student's financial need, and is used in determining the student's eligibility for need-based financial aid.
A grant is a type of financial aid based on financial need that the student does not have to repay.
Perkins Loan
The Perkins Loan is a federally-subsidized (no interest while in school), fixed low interest (5%) loan that is offered to full-time undergraduate day students.
PLUS Loan Program
The PLUS loan is a non-need credit based loan similar to a private student loan with the benefit of having a fixed interest rate and federal guarantee.
Promissory Note
A promissory note is a binding legal document that must be signed by the student borrower before loan funds are disbursed by the lender.
Scholarships are a form of financial aid given to students to help pay for their education that do not have to be paid back.
Selective Service
Male students who are US citizens and have reached the age of 18 and were born after December 31, 1959 must be registered with Selective Service to be eligible for federal financial aid. If the student did not register and is past the age of doing so (18-25), and the school determines that the failure to register was knowing and willful, the student is ineligible for all federal student financial aid programs. The school's decision as to whether the failure to register was willful is not subject to appeal. Students needing help resolving problems concerning their Selective Service registration should call 1.847.688.6888.
Student Aid Report (SAR)
Your SAR summarizes the data from your FAFSA and indicates your official Expected Family Contribution.
Student Aid PIN
The Federal Student Aid PIN is used to e-sign the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Student Academic Progress(SAP)
A student must maintain satisfactory Student Academic Progress in order to continue receiving federal aid.
Subsidized Loan
With a subsidized loan, such as the Perkins Loan or the Subsidized Stafford Loan, the government pays the interest on the loan while the student is in school, during the grace period.
Unsubsidized Loan
A loan for which the government does not pay the interest. See Stafford Loan information.
For Federal financial aid purposes such as determining dependency status, a veteran is a former member of the US Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines or Coast Guard) who served on active duty and was discharged other than dishonorably (i.e., received an honorable or medical discharge). You are a veteran even if you serve just one day on active duty - not active duty for training - before receiving your DD-214 and formal discharge papers. (Note that in order for a veteran to be eligible for VA educational benefits, they must have served for more than 180 consecutive days on active duty before receiving an honorable discharge.

Why Daddy and other senior dogs make great companions!
By Cesar Millan
Been there, done that! That's the attitude of many senior dogs. As dogs age, they become calmer, their need for exercise (and even discipline) decreases, and they're more up for accepting affection! Senior dogs may be more relaxed, but their appreciation of a balanced human caretaker is the same.
Many people don't consider the benefits of adopting a senior dog, so when these pups make their way to shelters and rescues, they often have a hard time finding a home. But senior dogs can make great companions. They're often laid-back, lower energy, and housebroken! I would especially recommend them to humans who are in the same stage of life. You can relate to your dog's attitude - it's all about taking it easy! But you don't have to be a senior citizen to appreciate the easygoing and loving companionship of an older dog.
I would not recommend senior dogs for households with young children. The excitable energy of kids is completely opposite the relaxed energy of a senior dog. Also, many older dogs suffer from the aches and pains of age. Even a well-intentioned child can overwhelm or accidentally injure the dog, which may even provoke the dog to nip in defense. I also would not recommend an older dog for those who have a high energy lifestyle. These dogs may not be up to the physical challenge!
Before taking home a senior dog, it is important to consider where you stand financially. Some dogs may be too old to qualify for insurance. Can you handle the bills when a health problem strikes? As Daddy can attest, the benefits of an elderly canine companion far outweigh the challenges. If there's one being that knows me well, it's Daddy! He knows me better than my mom, my kids, my therapist, even my wife! And I am grateful for every moment I have with him.
Stay calm and assertive

Undulating Green-Roofed Hotel Opens in Norway
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On September 1, 2010 @ 6:37 pm In Architecture,Green Roof | 2 Comments
Julien de Smedt Architects [5] won the competition to design the hotel back in 2008 and it was recently finished this summer. The undulating hotel is uniquely built on a pre-existing parking garage — the form of the garage underneath helped determine the final shape of the hotel. Elevating the six floor hotel above the parking garage structure has the advantage of giving more privacy to hotel guests. The space under the hotel at the street level now consists of shops, a restaurant and cafe, and the hotel lobby.
The roof of the Two Seasons Hotel is a ribbon of green space that dips down in the front towards the historic district, and then rises to match the stature of the taller apartment building and nearby towers. A green roof [6] provides extra insulation and storm water retention for the hotel, and guests can even walk around the roof for fresh air and exercise. Meanwhile, the inner courtyard and garden space draws more light into the interior hotel rooms.

The scene opens from the driver's point of view in a car, with a folded newspaper on the passenger's seat. There's an advertisement reading "Drivers Wanted!" in colors very similar to that of a major pizza chain. Just above the fold, the ad continues: "No experience necessary! Our hardened mercenaries will teach you." The driver unfolds the paper revealing the rest of the ad copy: "Everything you need to know about delivering pizzas in the post-zombie world!"

Usually places that combine pizza and wings excel at neither - this is the strange and welcome exception. The wings were crispy (though barely sauced), but delicious and the pizza was genuinely among the best-seasoned crusts I've had, sauced with tangy and richly flavored tomato sauce (that actually tasted like it had been stewing for a while) and fresh, lightly toothed mozzarella with good-sized chunks of italian sausage. I was shocked when I found out this place came to NY by way of Colorado.
Posted by Matt on 05/17/2012
Not only is their regular pizza one of the best I ever had, but their house sicilian and margarita with buffalo mozzarella is off the charts good. But the best thing has to be their specialty deep dish pan pizzas. One is better than the other. Never had anything like it. Do yourself a favor and check out this much needed local eatery.

Every so often, a band gets hailed as the saviors of rock 'n' roll—beer-guzzling guitar bashers who bring reprieve from an indie scene muddled with laptops, samplers, and smart haircuts. It happened with The Hold Steady around 2006 and before that with The White Stripes and The Strokes. It's a silly gimmick created by bored music journalists because guitar music is in fact not dead, nor was it ever, but it happens every few years all the same. Are Brooklyn's The Men the next to inherit that ultimately meaningless title? Probably not. Because while Open Your Heart is the kind of unabashed, ballbusting rock 'n' roll record that'll have bloggers chomping at the bit—and it should—it is just odd enough for people to not know what to do with it.
For one, nearly half of its tracks are wordless instrumentals, or close to. This lets the instruments and musicianship stand out in a way that most bands rarely allow. "Country Song" is a spaced-out, twangy groove that ambles along with slide guitars, creating an atmosphere that definitely has a sorrowful country vibe but with maybe a little acid mixed in. It's a structured song that could easily have lyrics, but their absence isn't bothersome. Similarly, "Oscillation", a seven-minute-plus guitar jam that recalls Dinosaur Jr. and the poppier side of Sonic Youth, and "Presence", a droning tribute to '70s glam punk, sound complete with little to no vocals.
And when they do sing, guitarists and singers Mark Perro and Nick Chiericozzi go for a minimalist approach. Vocals mix in, like they do on the shotgun blast of an opener "Turn Around", as opposed to standing out. The lyrics are simple and sparse, used to convey and compliment the emotion blasting from the amplifiers. Screaming "I am the animal" and begging for blood on "Animal" is the kind of visceral line that makes sense over the blown-out, Chuck-Berry-on-steroids progressions. For The Men, it's about packing a punch, not telling a story, and there are few things that pack a better punch than a cranked-up electric guitar.
"Candy" is the record's most lyrical moment, and with its acoustic guitars, it's the most out of place one as well. But its drunken lyrics about quitting your job and staying out all night have the feel of The Stones' country numbers like "Dead Flowers"; on a record that is clearly a celebration of rock 'n' roll, that actually makes a hell of a lot of sense. On that song, the band sings, "When I hear the radio play, I don't care that it's not me." This is essentially the ethos of this record and likely that of the band as a whole. Playing this type of music isn't the most popular thing you can do as a band in Brooklyn, and this seems to be of little concern to them. Just as you hear Deer Tick talk about being totally uninterested with what is going on in the music industry around them, Open Your Heart gives you the strong feeling that The Men feel the exact same way.
As a rock music fan, you can hear many of your favorite guitar bands' influences on Open—T. Rex and Thin Lizzy, for example—and while they are both honored and toyed with, they are nearly always done justice. The Men may not be hailed as the genre's saviors, nor should they be, but here they have done an excellent job as its purveyors.
Essential Tracks: "Turn Around", "Candy", and "Oscillation"

Google throws nearly a billion Android users under the bus, refuses to patch OS vulnerability January 12, 2015 at 5:30 pm

YotaPhone 2 combines an AMOLED and an e-ink display, but at a hefty price December 3, 2014 at 4:14 pm
The YotaPhone 2 may seem like a relatively standard smartphone running Android 4.4, but it harbors one major twist: it has a second display on the back, and it's no ordinary screen. This oddball device effectively crams a five-inch AMOLED display and a 4.7-inch e-ink display into a single pocket-sized device.

It appears that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be unveiled on February 24 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Galaxy S5, according to the rumor mill at least, is expected to have a high-resolution screen (possibly 2560×1440), an all-new aluminium chassis that finally does away with Samsung's love affair for plastic, and a fingerprint or retina scanner. If the Galaxy S5 is unveiled in Barcelona, it will probably be released some time in March.

The Wegmans LPGA Championship provided an unforgettable goodbye on Sunday, but 72 holes weren't enough to settle things.
Nearly four decades and 152 rounds of golf came down to a sudden death playoff. It was the perfect sendoff for the LPGA Championship, giving fans a few extra swings to savor. The goodbye is for now, but everyone is hoping it's not forever.
Here is how the final round played out. Inbee Park and Brittany Lincicome tied after 72 holes, so they played the 18th hole over again.
Park chipped to within a few feet of the hole. The pressure was on Lincicome, but she missed it.
From there the defending champ Inbee Park can win it with a put, and, as cool as can be, Park repeats and wins the final Wegmans LPGA Championship.
Even in defeat, Lincicome shared her love for Rochester.
"I feel like I did most things that I like to do when I come to this area. I played in the Pro Am. Baseball is a big thing in my world, and I love going to the games in the community. It's going to be a bummer to not come back next year," Lincicome said.
The LPGA Championship heads down state next summer. Many of the golfers expressed that they want the tour to eventually come back to Rochester.

Reading through my news feeds, clicked on a link to the Chicago Tribune, and then pictures of Obama Halloween masks caught my eye. Took a look at those. Strange enough.
When I clicked back to the Chicago Tribune home page I saw a picture of a criminal mug shot showing a dude with a tattoo across his forehead, so I clicked that link out of curiosity. I can't look at some of these pictures without laughing out loud. If one of these guys came up to me and demanded my wallet at gunpoint, I'd prolly be dead because I'd just bust out laughing. Especially the Joker on the bottom and Gold Monotooth Dude with a Bennie inked on his neck. What a rip.

David Cameron is in trouble. His Tory party is fraying, with conservatives fleeing or threatening to flee to right-wing parties and non-conservatives distinctly unimpressed with his flailing dash to the center. He is unable to win over converts or keep his own party in line, and thus his career is fading along with his poll numbers. Last week the Washington Post reported on a Tory revolt in the House of Commons over Cameron's stance on social issues. And today, the UK edition of GQ magazine hits newsstands and contains an interview with Cameron's former spokesman which discusses the gains of the prime minister's intraparty rival.
Though rumors have swirled for quite some time that Cameron was susceptible to a Tory leadership challenge from London Mayor Boris Johnson–who is not a member of the British parliament (though he served until 2008) and thus should not be nearly so close in Cameron's rearview mirror–the idea that Johnson will replace him is now commonly discussed in terms of when, not if (though perhaps they should be discussing how). Cameron's former flack, Andy Coulson, was asked by GQ about the Boris effect. The full interview seems to be behind a paywall, but the magazine has released snippets to non-subscribers. When asked for his take on Johnson, Coulson responded:
Boris Johnson desperately wants to be prime minister and David has known that fact longer than most. When Boris asked me to pass on the message that he was keen to stand as mayor of London, David responded, "Well, if he wins, he'll want my job next." If proof were needed that our PM is a man untroubled by self doubt, it came in his next sentence, "So I think he'll be a bloody brilliant candidate for us"…..Stabbing David, or anyone else for that matter, in the back would be distinctly off brand — just not very Boris. He would much prefer to see David fail miserably in the election and ride in on his bike to save party and country.
Though it would likely be easy to find a seat in the Commons for Johnson, and though the premiership has evolved unofficially over time from more modest–and still unofficial, in a strict sense–beginnings, this would be a remarkable turn of events. Born in New York City with family roots scattered across Europe, Johnson is a colorful loose cannon able to appeal to working-class voters despite his classic Eton and Oxford education. That has been the right mix for Londoners, who have now twice elected him over Labour's "Red" Ken Livingstone. Boris today has a 65 percent approval rating, with "charismatic" being the most popular one-term description of the mayor.
That poll is better for Boris than it looks. YouGov asked respondents which term applies to Johnson: charismatic; sticks to beliefs; natural leader; in touch with ordinary people; strong; decisive; good in a crisis; honest; none of these; don't know. Almost 60 percent said charismatic, his highest among the choices. YouGov asked respondents the same question of Cameron, and the term chosen the most was: none of these, at 45 percent.
But the idea that Cameron is already a lame duck within his own party, and maybe even about to be replaced by the mayor of London, would mean Cameron has risen fast and fallen faster. How did that happen? It isn't same-sex marriage, to be sure. Cameron's vacillating on Britain's membership in the European Union has been far more consequential an issue to his fellow Tories (and to the party scooping up Tory defectors, UKIP). The Washington Post story gets closer to the answer, when it gets a quote from Tory Lord David Howell:
"Old fossils like me always wondered about this great shift to the promised land of the center," said Lord David Howell, who served in Thatcher's conservative cabinet in the 1980s. "Is it really just a journey to a place where no one really likes you anymore?"
In Cameron's case, the answer appears to be: yes. But it would be more accurate to say that Cameron's popularity never really existed as prime minister in the first place, and that his steady shift to the center, on the EU and other matters, were the disease and not the cure–though Cameron confused each for its opposite.
Almost exactly one year before the May 2010 general election, Cameron's Conservative Party polled at 43 percent, which gave them a 16 percent lead in first place. The lead fluctuated, but generally hovered around that mark until it began slipping in the fall and continued dropping into the new year. By mid-April, the lead had completely evaporated, with the Liberal Democrats posting a one-point lead and Labour only seven points behind. Cameron eventually recovered for a seven-point victory that forced a coalition with the Liberal Democrats.
What happened? At the risk of oversimplifying, Cameron was beginning to waver on campaign promises months before he even won. Polls in September 2009 found majority support for a national referendum on EU membership. By early October, the Guardian was reporting that "David Cameron retreats on European referendum," instead promising to "repatriate" some powers back to Britain in lieu of letting the people make the choice. That same article notes that a certain mayor of London publicly disagreed, saying he wanted a referendum "and a lot of people will agree with me."
There is more to Cameron's unpopularity than just the EU issue, but it's indicative of his general governing style: desperately grasping for a centrist solution that will maximize support but which ends up minimizing support, in part because of poor policy ideas and in part because he gives off the impression of a politician in over his head. Once upon a time Cameron benefited from debates about whether Boris Johnson could do any better than he could. If they are now debating whether Boris could possibly do any worse, Cameron is on his way out.

|Anti Wrinkle 55
The current beauty market is flooded with skin treatments. The primary focus of the beauty care industry is on aging, or should we say anti-aging. One serum/gel that endeavors to battle fine lines and wrinkles is Anti Wrinkle 55. This topical treatment is sold online through select dealers for a retail cost of $39.95 for one fluid ounce. Similar to countless other skin care products, Anti Wrinkle 55 aims to hydrate the user's complexion, while combating fine lines, relaxing skin, boosting collagen levels and fighting free radicals. As you may have guessed, Anti Wrinkle 55 is pitched as an alternative to Botox injections.
It appears that customer reviews are offered on certain websites where Anti Wrinkle 55 serum is sold. This facial treatment contains primary active components like Argireline, Hyaluronic Acid (relaxes facial muscles allowing wrinkles to be smoothed out), L-Arginine and Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. Anti Wrinkle 55 cream is applied daily, morning and night, after cleansing the facial skin. Not only does this product aim to assist with collagen production, crow's feet, deep wrinkles and dry skin, but Anti Wrinkle 55 may also prevent new wrinkles from forming. In a similar fashion to most ant-aging skin products, Anti Wrinkle 55 is marketed primarily toward middle-aged/aging women. It's claimed that this treatment is "guaranteed for 45 days." A before and after photo appears where this wrinkle cream is sold.
Product Details
Anti Wrinkle 55 is essentially an anti-aging serum that's applied to the user's face daily to potentially assist with crow's feet, frown lines, age spots, moisture loss, collagen loss and facial sagging. This treatment contains major ingredients like Argireline and Hyaluronic Acid to battle deep facial wrinkles and replenish moisture levels. While there is no clinical data offered to support the effectiveness of Anti Wrinkle 55, a number of success stories are provided. It's even stated that this serum is recommended by plastic surgeons as a smart alternative to Botox injections or more invasive surgical procedures.
The full list of ingredients for Anti Wrinkle 55 are: Aqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Leaf Juice, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline), Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), Vegetable Glycerin, Cucumber Extract, Carbomer, L-Arginine, Gold Flakes and Germall Plus.
The Good
- Some natural ingredients are offered in Anti Wrinkle 55.
- Anti Wrinkle 55 may moisturize the skin.
- This skin care treatment can be easily purchased online.
The Bad
- Some ingredients found in Anti Wrinkle 55 cream may irritate the skin of some users.
- There doesn't appear to be an official website for Anti Wrinkle 55.
- This skin care product comes in a 1-ounce container, which costs a retail price of $39.95.
- No background information is offered on the company that manufactures Anti Wrinkle 55 serum.
The Bottom Line
Like many other topical treatments available, Anti Wrinkle 55 serum may assist some users with issues like moisturizing, wrinkle reduction, increased collagen and minimizing crow's feet. However, it would be nice to see some clinical trials supporting Anti Wrinkle 55 treatment cream, along with a smaller price tag. $39.95 may get a tad expensive in the long run; especially considering that this product is directed to be applied morning and night.

Guessing Names
If Nancy's obituary was correct, then there were 4 daughters and 6 sons of Loyd and Barbara Copeland. I only have Abner, Oliver, John, and Nancy. So I need the names of 3 more sons and 3 more daughters.
As I look at the Copeland and Finney ancestry (since my great grandparents were Abner Copeland and Samantha Jane Finney), I notice that the Copelands did not give their children middle names, but the Finneys did. So I am guessing that Abner named his daughters because, they, like me, only have one name - Clarissa and Pearl. The boys all have middle names.
Next, I notice that names often repeat, so I am going to guess on the names of Abner Copeland siblings' names.
One of Abner's son was named Emery Loyd Copeland, so Loyd came from his father.
Perhaps Loyd named one of Abner's brothers after his own father Douglas.
Abner already named his own son Daniel Ezra Copeland, after his grandmother's father Daniel May.
James is another family name. Abner's cousin Andrew Jackson Copeland had a son named James. My own father's name was James.
Loyd had a brother names Abner and one named Simon. So perhaps another brother's name was Simon.
But what of the girl's names? Perhaps Clarissa and Pearl were also Abner's sister's names. Then, would Loyd have also named a daughter after his own mother Margaret?
I now have to find out a way to get this information. Do I write to the Friends of Orange County or Alamance County in North Carolina? Do I just plug in information about each name and see what comes up? Do I order records from these counties and view them at the local library or Mormon familyhistory center.
This may take longer because there is no quick answer.

Jazz Ensemble Concert to Feature Tonight Show Jazz
Published: Feb 19, 2014
With Jimmy Fallon making headlines as the new host of
The Tonight Show
, The University of Tampa Jazz Ensemble will pay tribute to Johnny Carson's Tonight Show Band at its winter concert,
Tonight Show Jazz
. The concert is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Falk Theatre.
The concert, which is free and open to the public, will feature signature musical arrangements from Carson's Tonight Show Band, which was led by Doc Severinsen. Having a band has become a part of the late night talk show formula. The music arrangements written for the classic big band format of Carson's Tonight Show Band, however, have continued on as standard jazz repertoire for live performance and educational study, a lasting tribute to Johnny Carson, who was a drummer and avid music buff.
"This Tonight Show Jazz concert is all about the groove," said Bob Macar, who took over as director of UT's Jazz Ensemble in January. "I selected
The Tonight Show
arrangements with the most groove, swing, pulse, time, whatever you want to call it, so much so that the audience will wish there was a dance floor at the Falk Theater. The aisles will be available."
The concert marks the debut of Macar, a noted musician, arranger and live music producer based in Tampa. Former director Aric Brian will perform with the ensemble — an 18-piece big band-style jazz group — and be featured on a Tommy Newsom arrangement of

Local businesses along the route can get involved in many different ways.
1) Extend your store front to the streets
In the past we have had restaurants build sidewalk cafes, while retailers set up displays outside, inviting those on foot to stop in. This time around we want to encourage even more store front participation, providing restaurants with resources for how to create "street food" and how to create temporary outdoor dining experiences.
2) Lead a street activity for attendees
Local businesses may decide they want to participate in the event beyond their store front. Business owners may design activities for all ages of attendees, and may want to create an activity for their specific target audience. Ideas could be a children's clothing store offering fun kid's relays or a hula-hoop contest. A brew pub may offer an adult field-day with fun games and bag tosses and other games that their target market may enjoy.
3) Lend us your resources for a few hours.
Given that this event will be car-free, we are curious how your business could donate parking spots and parking lots for us to use for outdoor activities. These activities may include physical activities that require more room, or performance zones, or space for porta-potties. We are also curious if you would be able to lend power supply, especially to musicians who may desire amplifiers.
4) Help spread the word
Atlanta Streets Alive wants the Highland Avenue corridor to physically come alive with people. Our goal is to reach 10,000 people on this 2 mile stretch of streets. And the more people we attract, the more visibility for local businesses. Therefore we ask you to please spread the word by hosting informational post cards in your place of business, or tacking up a poster on a bulletin board. Also if you have a community listserv or valued customers, it would be great if you could announce the event along with any special services or offerings you may have that day, just for the event. An example could be announcing special "street food" during the event. Also, it may be good to let your regulars know that access via car will not be possible on Highland Avenue between 2pm and 6pm on May 20th.
5) Give us feedback before, during and after the event
Your support is vital to the success of Atlanta Streets Alive. We want to make sure local businesses, especially those along the route, feel fully engaged and benefit from the number of people on foot and on bike at the event. Please let us know what you expect from Atlanta Streets Alive, and suggestions for activities. You can also request activities that you would like close to your business. We would also love to have your feedback after the event to help us make it better for businesses next time.
6) Become a sponsor
If your business aligns well with the kinds of people that attend Atlanta Streets Alive, then why not become a sponsor. Sponsors of Atlanta Streets Alive gain visibility in front of tens of thousands of participants, as well as hundreds of thousands of impressions through marketing on social media, advertising in Creative Loafing, radio, in print and online. Join the likes of MailChimp, Ponce City Market, Jamestown, New Belgium Brewing, REI, Inman Quarter and Steelworks.

Catanimals Play Variant
They look nice, those small plush fellows shaped after the Catanian resources. But what should one do with
them? They don't make good pillows; they're too small for that. Since they have no aperture, they don't qualify as egg cozies either, and if you abuse them as missiles during an argument with your partner, you'll hardly cause any effect.
They're probably better suited as eye-catchers for the sofa or to make bookshelves or gameshelves look less monotonous. Now, is that supposed to be all that happens in the Catanimals' lives? When you look at them, don't they seem to be saying, "Play with me!"? From its place on the sofa, doesn't the plush brick seem to peer at the island of Catan each time a player builds a settlement or city next to its native hills?
Let's just have them participate in our game!
The rules are quite simple. At the beginning of the game, place the plush fellows on a neutral spot somewhere on the game table. If the table is too small, you may also off er them an unoccupied chair to make themselves comfortable in.
Then all you have to do is count a little during your Catan game. A player who builds a settlement receives, for each adjacent terrain, one point for the terrain's resource type. For example, if you place a settlement on an intersection between hills, fi elds, and forest, you receive one brick point, one grain point, and one forest point. A city, of course, earns you two points per each adjacent terrain. Th e same applies to a settlement adjacent to a special harbor: if you build a settlement next to a special harbor, you also collect one point for the harbor's resource type, and if you build a city there, you collect 2 points.
The first one to have 3 points of a resource type may take the corresponding plush fellow, who from now on keeps this player company during play and also earns him a victory point. If, for example, you have 3 brick points, you receive the brick plush and the associated victory point. However, the Catanimals aren't particularly loyal. It's similar to what happens when the Longest Road or Largest Army change hands: if an opponent has more points of a certain resource type than you, the corresponding plush fellow immediately changes over to your opponent. After all, he seems to esteem the Catanimals more than you.
If you integrate the Catanimals into your game, you should play until reaching 12 victory points in a 3-4 player game and 11 victory points in a 5-6 player game. Needless to say that you can combine the Catanimals with the scenarios of the expansions. In those cases, you should increase the number of victory points required to win the game by one or two.
Have lots of fun playing with your Catanimals! Please download the PDF on the right to keep a copy of the rules.

Its good to see people trying to do something about this. You cover the health aspects very nicely which is the most important. What if they are in deed 100% safe? I personally do not care about nudity or who can see me nude. Many do care and do not want to be groped as an alternative. The government is largely responsible for the views of the citizens.
Dear US Government,
If you found a country with heavy Puritan influence and over the next 235 years pound the idea that the human naked body is wrong.... the penis and vagina are nothing more than sex organs that define the person and must be covered at all times. To the point that using the anatomically correct terms; Penis & Vagina have become taboo in most settings. I was in the hospital a while back. A nurse came into my hospital room to remove the catheter, she looked at me and said " Ok, I have your meds and its time to take the catheter out of your... " and nodded toward my groin. Its pretty sad when a medical professional has tip toe around the word penis...in a hospital no less; but this is what has been drilled in our heads since we were little. So we have this country and its citizens are aware ...naked = bad .... now you tell them that if they want to fly, for their safety, a picture will be taken of their naked body ...YOU THINK people are going to be to have a problem!!
Your brain washed subjects

Results 1 to 10 of 15
Kuk Sool Won has a powerful new ally....
So there I was, Saturday afternoon walking up to my local Wal-Mart with a friend of mine to pick up some stuff. As I entered through the doors I saw a woman in a black gi and a black belt around her waist greeting people as they entered the store. She was also holding a small box. I dint think much of it so I went on to and started searching for my stuff.
While I was in the candy aisle I heard a store announcement through the ceiling speakers -
"Kuk Sool Won Demo is about to begin in-between the jewelry and ladies clothing department". As soon as I heard the announcement I quickly walked over to the cleared out area, took a seat and unfortunately, dint think of catching the event on my phone.
As soon as the demo started I noticed something fishy straight from the beginning- the WHITE belt was the guy demonstrating the moves on a blue belt....
So the demo began- It started off with the white belt doing an Ashida Kim style arm lock and takedown. Once the blue belt was on the floor (on his stomach) the white belt "quickly" took off his white belt and tied it around the blue belts ankles. The Blue Belt, for some reason, was tapping the mat several times and was yelling in pain. (Who knew having a belt around your ankles was so painful). The white belt guy then looked at the audience and said "The Foot cuff technique!". After that, a bunch of KSW kids in uniform raided the mat, said something in Korean, bowed to the audience and then the demo was over.
My friend and I tried our best to hold in our laughter. We started walking away and I saw a bunch of parents asking the Asian lady about the "2 free weeks". My friend told me to play stupid and go check it out. They asked for my contact info, gave me a "2 free weeks" pass and a brochure. The brochure had the address to their website:
Apparently, they teach everything including ground fighting according to their website:
Based on the demo that I saw, theres a 99% chance that this school is a bullshido-riden mess. There is only one true way to find out though- I will be attending some of their free classes next week. I will update this thread after class.

I'm curious about this white belt doing the techniques. What you saw was "Po Bohk Sool" or rope techniques. These are not generally taught until 2nd Dan. Excepting that the technique looked impractical, how smooth did it look? The reason I ask is that new Masters (5th Dan) are issued white belts as a sign that they are really just beginning their learning. I've never seen one where one for a demo though. I'm just curious is this was the case. As for the school itself, Tomball is the home of the KSW world headquarters. I never got a chance to train there, so I can't speak firsthand of the school, but it looks pretty similar to most every kuk sool school I've seen.

Anyways, I still have yet to drop by, I will as soon as I'm done with finals.
It has just been brought to my attention that these guys are not satisfied with just Wal Mart. They will be doing a Demo at my own school during finals week. I'll be prepared this time. I'll catch them on video.

That's it. I'm done with this ****. I'm going to go out and make up a fucking ridiculous martial art to sell multicolored sword-substitute sticks to children and adults. We'll have compliant drills, fake meditation, and we'll practice kneeling sword techniques in fields. Sparring isn't hardcore: grass stains are hardcore. Don't worry, though, the uniforms will be black so they'll still look okay.
