Luke Bryan's Mom Joins in Spring Break Dance Party [Watch]
Luke Bryan just wrapped up the final spring break shows of his career, and it was so much fun, even his mom couldn't help but join in the celebration.
In the video below, which was posted to Twitter, Bryan and his wife Caroline are dressed casually and just chillin' at Spinnaker Beach Club, where he performed two very special spring break farewell shows on Wednesday and Thursday, March 11-12. They're up on a platform, and when Caroline gracefully hops down, the singer then helps his mom LeClaire up, where she proceeds to get down to the music before waving to Bryan's fans, who give her a rousing cheer before she, too, jumps down.
"@cbisqueen_: They kill me. @teambryanfamily @alwaysteamcb pic.twitter.com/2dCLe8BH0b" even Caroline's jump is graceful & then LeClaire
— Queen Caroline ♕ (@alwaysteamcb) March 13, 2015
The 38-year-old country superstar announced the release of his final spring break EP in February, and also revealed he would end his spring break run with the two special concerts. "My fans have been so wonderful to embrace these special spring break albums over the last seven years," he says. "We've created a lot of amazing memories writing these songs and performing them at the beach shows in Florida. Those concerts are among the most enjoyable of my career!"
He went out with a bang, drawing an estimated 400,000 fans to the beach party to end all beach parties.
Bryan released Spring Break … Checkin' Out on Tuesday (March 10), marking the end of an era. The 11-song release features five new tracks, as well as all six songs from last year's spring break EP. He has just released a nostalgic video for one of the songs, "Spring Breakdown."

One of them is wrapping up his freshman year of high school and he already has a scholarship offer to his name.
"A lot of people been to the school for me," said 2016 offensive tackle Tyler Pritchett. "And I've talked a lot to Kentucky and Auburn.
"I got offered yesterday from Akron, my first one."
Though early in the process, offer No. 1 was still a relief.
"First I thanked God but it feels great to know I've been this blessed and that my hard work is starting to pay off," he said.
The Zips might not have great history in Alabama, but their current coaching staff does.
"I know that Coach [Terry] Bowden is from Auburn," he said of his Arkron knowledge. "I have family up there, they run the spread I believe."
The spread offense is one Pritchett envisions himself working in at the next level.
"I like how each play is different," he said. "I like one play you run a certain block then the next you run something totally different.
"Also because you get to be uptempo and really get the D on its heels."
Calera runs a similar look, and it has helped the 6-foot-4, 265-pounder stay in shape while adding strength. He'll continue to do so this summer at camps.
"We've been just lifting for the most part," he said of his current and future schedule. "But I'm going to Auburn, Bama, Kentucky, Western Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi State and maybe somewhere else, too."
A pair of those schools are the two early standouts for Pricthett.
"I grew up an Auburn fan," he admitted. "And Kentucky has shown a lot of love too. So right now those two are my favorites."

Santa Barbara is home to some of California's most picturesque vineyards. The modern era of Santa Barbara wine making started relatively late in this Central Coast region--but it grew quickly. Beginning with a mere 11 acres under vine in 1969, Santa Barbara expanded to more than 7,000 acres by 1980, and it is approaching 11,000 acres. The majority of the vineyards are found in two regions north of the city of Santa Barbara: the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley.
Santa Barbara white wine varieties count for more than 75% of the plantings, the leader being Chardonnay followed distantly by Johannesburg Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chenin Blanc. Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir are the top the red varieties. The most successful white wines have been Chardonnay and Riesling; as for Santa Barbara reds, Pinot Noir, though erratic, has greatly outdistanced Cabernet Sauvignon.
It is remarkable that an industry essentially less than a half-century old could capture the attention of the American wine-buying public to the degree that California has. Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in a benign climate featuring endless sunshine, very warm summer days, and generally dry harvests, and wonderfully fruity, full, and satisfying, and rarely too austere or tannic to be enjoyed from day one.
California is blessed with an extraordinary range of soils and microclimates, allowing for the successful cultivation of many varieties. In at least three out of four years, the best sites produce healthy, ripe fruits that are the envy of European producers in more marginal climates. The other reason Americans buy so much California wine is that California is the home team. Clearly, a high percentage of domestic wine drinkers are more comfortable buying American wines (and not just wines of California) than imports. Then, too, foreign bottles are generally identified by place name, rather than by the more familiar varieties that American wine drinkers have come to know and enjoy.
Moreover, in much of North America, outside the top 15 or 20 largest metropolitan markets, consumers have limited access to imported wines even if they wanted to buy them.
For many, Napa Valley is California wine, and Cabernet is king in Napa Valley. Meanwhile, the Burgundy varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir have gravitated to cooler areas, generally closer to the Pacific, such as the western stretches of Sonoma County, the Anderson Valley in Mendocino County, and the Santa Maria and Santa Ynez valleys within Santa Barbara County. Syrah vines have yielded interesting wines in a range of styles all over the state, in regions as disparate as Mendocino County, the Sonoma coast, Carneros, Paso Robles, and Santa Maria Valley. Very good Zinfandel similarly comes from multiple growing areas, although to date the age-of-vines variable has been almost as important as geography. Zinfandel, though its roots are in Europe, is a true California original and the only California wine imitated abroad. It's also a variety of which there are still significant plantings of very old vines, in some cases dating back to the end of the 19th century.
Marsanne, the most widely planted white grape of the northern Rhone Valley, has a long history-- not in single varietal bottlings, but rather as a blending grape. In Hermitage, Marsanne is blended with Roussane to produce the white wine of the appellation; in our opinion, white Hermitage is one of the most overlooked great wines of the world. Incidentally, along with Roussane, up to 15% of Marsanne can be added to the red wines of Hermitage under AOC regulations. For a stellar example of white Hermitage, try Chave's Hermitage Blanc.
Apart from these origins in the Rhone, Marsanne plantings have expanded in Australia, so much that now 80% of the world's Marsanne is grown there. The grape was first planted in Australia in 1860, and while most of these original vines are gone, the wines in the vineyard of Chateau Tahbilk, in Victoria, are among the oldest in the world, dating to 1927.
A number of challenges in viticulture stand in the way of single varietal Marsanne exploding in popularity. The grape is highly sensitive to extreme temperatures: when the climate is too warm, Marsanne is short on acidity, limiting its ability to age well; when climate is too cool, the wines tend to be neutral and uninteresting. One strategy employed by winemakers is to harvest Marsanne just before it hits full ripeness, in order to retain some acidity.
When Marsanne is bottled on its own, expect a light straw colored wine that is rich in body, with hints of spice, melon and pear. Noteworthy new world producers of the grape include the aforementioned Chateau Tahbilk as well as Tablas Creek in Paso Robles, California. But, ultimately, for the best expression of this grape, even blended, stay in the northern Rhone.
Pair Marsanne and its related blends with shellfish and seafood.
2012 had 16 regions scored 95 or above. Oregon got the highest score, with a 97.
Other regions that scored 95 points or higher were Anderson Valley (California), Barossa / McLaren Vale, Brunello di Montalcino (Tuscany), Columbia Valley, Napa, Chablis, Champagne, Coonwarra, Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Germany, Graves, Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Washington.

Yoga: Another way to prevent osteoporosis?
A dozen yoga poses, performed daily, may increase bone density.
Image: tetmc/Thinkstock
Like most of us, you may have become accustomed to thinking that only common weight-bearing exercises—walking, running, jumping, and lifting—provide enough stress on your bones to maintain or increase their density. So a scientific paper titled "Twelve-Minute Daily Yoga Routine Reverses Osteoporotic Bone Loss" came as a surprise. And it appeared to offer women another option to build bone.
What the study found
The researchers who designed the study noted that yoga's established benefits—including better balance and coordination—protect against falling, a major cause of osteoporotic fractures. They wanted to determine whether the yoga poses they selected might also increase bone density by imposing force on the spine and hips.

This 7 Fold Burgundy Grenadine Silk Tie is a luxurious addition to a gentleman's neckwear. Handmade in England this tie has a beautiful balance in weight between the crisp, lightweight grenadine weave and extra silk required for a 7 fold tie. We particularly like this burgundy tie when paired with a lightly patterned jacket.
The 7 Fold Tie Process
The 7 fold tie is a supremely elegant tie, created through true craftsmanship of times past. The Grenadine is woven in Italy using specialised jacquard looms. The fabric is then shipped to the UK where it begins our production process.
Each tie is hand cut, using a whole 'block' of cloth to make up one seven-fold, it is then sewn together. To add a special finish, the grenadine tie tips are hand roll hemmed. Once the tie pieces have been joined together and hand rolled the tie is then pressed ready to be slipped. As opposed to a standard traditional tie, a seven-fold is made up without any interlining. The hand slipper folds the cloth, creating the seven folds – it is the seven folds which give the tie is body. The tie is then pinned, and using one continuous piece of thread, starting at the narrow end, the tie is slipped. A stretch loop is added in the tread at the narrow end. This allows the fabric movement when worn and the stretch loop ensure more flexibility. This is unique to a handmade tie.
The 'bar tack' or 'bullion' stitch is added at each end of the tie while it is being slipped. This is also a special stitch that shows that the tie has been hand sewn.
If you are not completely happy with your purchase for any reason, we will provide a full refund or exchange.

Video that has previously been kept out of public circulation has been made available for the first time since 1996. It documents the delicate work done after the end of Apartheid in South Africa in what later became the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division of Seventh-day Adventists. The video was produced by the Adventist News Network at the request of the General Conference.
In an experimental series for Spectrum Media, Alexander Carpenter has produced a series of videos titled Young Adventists Speak.
The series highlights the voices of Adventist students, scholars, musicians and others highlighting the intersections of faith, history and politics.
In conjunction with the opening of the Desmond Doss biopic Hacksaw Ridge, the series began with Ronald Osborn's overview of the shifting history of Adventists and war.
The harvest is past, the summer is ended,
and we are not saved.
For the wound of the daughter of my people is my heart wounded;
I mourn, and dismay has taken hold on me.
Is there no balm in Gilead?
Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of the daughter of my people
not been restored?
"The Table of Silence Project represents the common threads of humanity which unite all mankind into a single force with common goals and aspirations regardless of race, culture, or religion. Through this event, we wish to achieve the dual purpose of celebrating and honoring peace and freedom for all people suffering oppression, through listening, a united moment of silence - a call for Peace in our world." - Jacqulyn Buglisi, choreographer

Four General Conference Session delegates—from Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division, Trans-European Division, and the North American Division—talk about the vote to allow divisions to make provision for the ordination of women.
This short video from Spectrum Media provides candid thoughts on this Session's most controversial subject.
General Conference delegates from around the world raise questions about what's causing the electronic voting system problem, express confidence in the electronic voting system, and suggest a solution. This video from Spectrum Media provides the candid responses of several delegates.
Three delegates—Inter-American Division, General Conference, Trans-European Division—reflect on the GC Treasurer's report on Friday, July 3, 2015. The report was presented by outgoing Treasurer Bob Lemon, who has announced his retirement. Undertreasurer Juan Prestol-Puesán will replace Lemon as General Conference Treasurer.
As the delegates exited the floor minutes after voting for Ted Wilson's return to as General Conference President of Seventh-day Adventists, we interviewed three—a youth director from Malawi, a missionary from Grenada, and a physician from California.
Here they share their reactions to the morning business session on Day 2 of the General Conference Session.

Client Overview and Background
The client is the world's largest social networking site, which connects users with their friends. A Fortune 500 company, with over 1 billion subscribers across all countries. The client has been using Oracle Business Suite 12.1 ERP for managing their inventory process. They follow a systematic process for receiving inventory and taking them into stock. The inventory may be serialcontrolled, with item serial number, and is fitted with a company asset tag. During receipts, they also capture and upload images of the packing slip. Before implementing this app for the client, all these processes were done manually.
Business Requirements
The client wanted an Enterprise scale mobile application, which communicates with their Oracle EBS ERP suite. The mobile application should enable their supply chain managers and executives to perform various functions from the field, including Material Receipts, Transfers, Cycle Counting and Approvals. The Application should have seamless interface, with barcode scanners, for serial number scanning. This application should be available on iPad.
With this Enterprise Receiving Mobile Application, their service executives should be able to:
- Enter receipt details from the field, using their iPad
- Avoid paper work and duplication of effort
- Scan serial numbers and asset tags, capture pack slip images, in real-time, using integrated barcode scanner and camera
RapidValue provided end-to-end solution for the client. Right from Business Consulting for Oracle EBS ERP Suite, designing the User Interface, building the Mobile Application, integrating to their back-end systems, mobile testing to application deployment.
The application is developed on iPad. This enterprise receiving application will communicate with the client's Oracle ERP to update the receipt details to Oracle ERP back-end. We have built the Oracle Middleware, by using the Oracle SOA Gateway, to communicate with the specific Oracle Module.
We built the application and utilized the in-built/integrated module, from our Oracle EBS, for barcode scanning of serial numbers. For this application, tablet-specific functionality like barcode scanner, camera etc. is enabled.
Some of the key features are:
- User Authentication – Unique login for each user. Only authorized users can access the application.
- Access and Submit/Delete Purchase Order (PO) Receipts.
- Guided Receipts – User can access a) PO receipts which include details like Item, sub inventory, locator, get lines, receipt number, PO number, receipt date, shipment number, serial number, Organizational Unit etc. b) Submit transaction c) Submit receipts.
- Unordered Receipts – Users can submit/edit/save as unordered receipts when the order comes without PO for various reasons like excess item received, invalid serial number etc. Users can also add comments/notes.
- History – Users can view details of past transactions. Information is available for successfully submitted transactions, for normal guided receipts and unordered receipts, for a period of seven days.
- Scan Barcode – This is based on Camera Image Technology. User have multiple options to scan the barcode:
- Locator – Users can scan the barcode as per location to view item details, quantity ordered and PO number.
- Serial Number – Users can scan the barcode as per the serial number to view item details, quantity details and PO number.
- Capture Packing Slip – Users can click a picture of the packing slip with the camera enabled in the tablet. Details, mentioned in the slip, will be captured, converted to PDF and saved as attachment against PO.
- Drafts – Users can save, edit and delete drafts of receipts, for both guided receipts and unordered receipts.
- File Attachments – Users can uploaded the image of packing slips as attachments.
- Additional Details – Users can view details, such as 'received by', name of the supplier, the promised date, sub inventory, the locator, the shipping date, the packing slip number, the bill of Lading, the vehicle's number, notes and comments etc.
The enterprise receiving application is beneficial mainly to the client supply chain managers and field service executives.
Some of the results achieved for the client:
- Quick turn-around time – deployed in six months
- Real-time material transactions – receive items, transfer items, stock count and approve transactions from the field
- Avoid duplication of effort – paperless transactions and less prone to errors
- Improved efficiency – reduction in process time, reduced payable cycle
- Higher Productivity – helps field service executives to access inventory from anywhere, at anytime

Texasisms: A Glossary of Texan
Learn A Little Texan.
When traveling abroad, it is usually wise to learn a few words and phrases in the native language to help in case you find yourself in a jam. It is also wise to learn a little about the native culture to make you appear less touristy.
For example, should you choose to make Texas your travel destination, you should know that Texas was once its own country called the Republic of Texas. Also, most of the native Texans do not yet realize this is no longer the case. They are very sensitive about their homeland. Tread lightly. Don't mess with Texans.
However, Texans do speak a form of English (pronounced "Ainglish" in Texan), so the language should not be much of a barrier. There are a few key differences, though. For example, I do not believe the heading "Learn A Little Texan" to be ambiguous for English speakers, but it may be for a speaker of Texan (prompting one to go meet a shorter Texas native). It is these subtleties that you need to master before your trip to the Lone Star State.

Rules to Remember.
Should you ever find yourself in Texas without an English-Texan dictionary or this handy guide, here are five simple rules to remember, and possibly save your hide.
1. Shed Syllables. In almost any three syllable word, you can contract out any vowel from the middle syllable to make a two-syllable word and sound more Texan.
- Examples: Italy = It'ly, Florida = Flor'da, Johnathan = John'than, Melody = Mel'dy.
2. Forget the G's. Never, ever pronounce the "g" in words endin' in "ing". This is a dead giveaway that you are a Yankee cruisin' for a bruisin'.
- Examples: Fishin', Cookin', Readin' and Writin'.
3. "L's" Are Optional. Ignore "L's" following vowels in the middle of words or simply replace them with "W's".
- Examples: Light Bub (Bulb), Code (Cold) Outside, and Caw (Call).
4. Wing It (If You Dare). Let the metaphors fly. Texan is nuttin' if not colorful, so go to town, make stuff up, invent words if you must. Alliterate, elaborate, and incorporate.
- Examples: "Heck, it's hotter'n a hog on a hot plate." Why not? Sounds Texan to me. You can also compare anything to a 3$ bill (weirder'n a $3 bill), add "fire" to any exclamation ("Crap fire boy, what's the matter with you?"), or make up inoffensive curse words (dad gum it, gosh darn it, dag nab it, dad blazes, etc.).
5. Know When to Fold 'Em. One of the most popular bumper stickers in Texas reads "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could." Yeah, right. You're not a Texan. There is no citizenship test, membership card, or minimum residency requirement. You either are privileged enough to have been born in the Republic of Texas or not. It's okay if you weren't, just accept it. Go ahead, root for the Cowboys, wear your cute little outfits at the honky tonks, and display your bumper stickers. You are always welcome, you're just not a Texan...but be thankful, your kids can be.
Great Job Show 'nuff! From out yonder in Tennessee - Wbisbill; thumbs up!
Nuttin' piiddlee'o about this hub. As usual a great read. (Man-o-man this is gonna get comp'icated) Caw may for the next lesson...
regards Zsuzsy
My grandfather was from Texas (outside Waco) - even though he lived in Washington state the last 60 years of his life, there were certain things he said that I could never understand! My favorite was when he asked me to get the "flashwater." I guess that's Texan for "fly-swatter." :-)
Brilliant hub. A difference in accent or syntax can make a potential relationship or break it, make a new friend or miss the opportunity.
I treasure our regional differences. When I'm here in the northeast, I put my groceries in a bag. When I'm with my Ohio relations, I put them in a sack, and ask for pop instead of soda. I also "woish" my hair instead of wash it, and say "God love 'er little heart," every chance I get.
With your primer, I think I can do OK in TX.
This was hilarious. i was in Fort Sam Houston for a bit in the Army and witnessed some of this first hand. God bless Texas!
Shucks--this hub is cuter than a speckled pup:-) I loved it. There is a language lab in Texan on TV daily--it's called The Dr. Phil Show LOL. Students can perfect their accents by listening to Dr. Phil who is just "slicker 'n s**t on a hoe-handle. Dang--this is a real good hub an ahm givin it thumbs up:-)
Only Texas would have it's own Embassy in London, England. (Texas Embassy and Cantina) In fact I have been there and it is as brazen as Texas itself. After living with a Texas room mate in college for a year, and having my son live in Texas for two years, I have become quite familiar with the "Texas" mentality. The guide to speaking in Texas is truly helpful, but I am surprised you didn't mention how many flags Texas is allowed to fly, and what the flag etiquette is (for example the height the state flag is allowed to fly vs the national flag...)or some history of that sort... enlighten us my friend....lol Perhaps an entirely different Hub would be needed. Then again, maybe you could even include who really shot JR? I think the only other state that could compare to Texas in attitude is California! lol
Very helpful guide, for a Yankee like me. :) I have met a few charming Texans over the years, and really stuggled to understand them!
Hmmm I seem to remember from some history class that Texas is also the only state in the union that has the right to divide itself into five states if it wants to. Am I crazy or is that true? Hmmmm now that would throw a joker into the 2008 election :-)
My wife is originally from Texas and her whole family still lives there. The "Texas dictionary" is hillarious, but the best made point is the one about Texans still not realizing that they're not their own republic. Great hub.
Damn Straight!
Hi Peter -
This is very funny stuff. Lets hope that Texans think so too! LOL
I spend quite a bit of time in Dallas, Tx. Three of my grandchildren are currently residents there, so I have been back and forth for the past five years quite a lot.
Perhaps these Texas-isms are found more in the deep southern parts of Texas. I have really not met up with too much of yer lingo in the parts I run when there?
Do you really still hear this stuff there? What parts are you most familiar with. It is my feeling, that if I were to throw this stuff out to the Texans I know - they would all just roll there big Texas eyeballs!
Nevertheless - I love this hub:-)
Well done!
Us Texans and Texians need to keep the 'skerr on em.
Amusing hub - as well as some of the responses! My grandpa and all his siblings were born in Texas too - he and my Gma (from Missouri) moved to Calif and even tho Gpa's name is Jim many call him Tex!
Tak n ta is my favorite!
There's a lot more here than i would of thought - good info! Was wondering why "Y'all" wasn't included, then see u referenced it in a response.
Thanks for the fun read!
Fantastic...As an Oklahoman, (that little speck of dirt jus' north of TX) I recognize and can attest to the validity and accuracy of all info. and pronunciations provided here! Funny to think of other places here in the USA that don't include these terms in their daily lives! One comment above noted "Damn Straight," I'll add my own "hot damn!" (as opposed to "cold damn" which i've never heard anyone say!) ND to LDSNana, yep, folks still really do talk this way...you must just know some of them hi' falutin' college hi-tech folks from 'round Austin.
I'm about to marry a man who is from Houston and went to Texas A&M and served in the corp, so he is a true texan. I'm from OK. He calls me a Yankee saying "Anyone north of the Red River is a Yankee, and Dallas is pretty close!" He too believes Texas is its own country. And, I think you would find most of your dictionary in West Texas, near Snyder and Lubbock. My friends from there use all of those terms! Thanks for the laughs!
What a hoot! I heard some great texan out in the Pacific not so long ago- your reputation has gone far and wide.
You're not even that far from us in California, but apparently the language is more different than I thought :)
Nice hub, I've linked to yours from a hub of mine on Texas
remember yall us texans dont like them oakeys (oaklahomans)
Jasper Hale is from Texas --- he's from Twilight in case you didn't know --- and so this was fun to read :)
Well I wouldn't "normally walk a mile to see a piss ant eat a bail of hay" but I have to clear a little something up. Texas did not join the Union by Treaty! Talk of Treaty was going on but Texas was offered Statehood by President John Tyler in doing this Texas got a little better deal than most States did. We were immediately a State instead of going through a probationary period as a territory! It is true that Texas can split into as many as 5 States!
If you do visit or wind up living in Texas there are some more things you need to know, "we don't care how you did it where you're from!" "The reason Texas does not fall into the gulf of Mexico is because Oklahoma sux!" "There are only two sports in Texas, Football and spring football!" And last but not least "George W Bush was born in Connecticut!" Liked the hub just had to clear that whole treaty thing up.
This is a great hub! Thanks for a good read, fellow Texan!
Loved your hub. I'm a native Texan and have now added you to my "Texas-Based Writers on Hub Pages" hub. For years, I quoted the bit about Texas being the only state allowed to fly our flag the same height as the US flag...well...when researching that topic, I discovered it wasn't true. Check out Snope.com on that one. Wikipedia evens shows it to be an urban legend.
I am a native Texan and never really thought I spoke that Texan. When I was reading akk the terms I realized I certainly do. Thanks for the laugh.
Well I consider myself a true Texan not only because I was born here, but I have also lived all up and down this great state including Ft. Worth, Haslet, Gainesville, San Marcos, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. I have family in Texarkana and grew up visiting East Texas a few times per year. These days I also frequent McAllen and South Padre and have close family in Dallas as well. The funny thing is that Texas is so huge that there are still many areas I am unfamiliar with as you can tell.
There are a few things I do know. Every city I have lived in or visited in Texas is completely different from any other. Each city is so unique. For example, Ft. Worth is a group of small town people living in a big city. Dallas on the other hand has a very "hi'falutin'" mentality where everyone seems to 'keep up with the Joneses'. Austin is very liberal, democratic, health conscious, and open to alternative life-styles (this is unique in itself when you think about how conservative and republican this state is as a whole). San Antonio is very Hispanic influenced (apparent by the demographics) from the food to the décor to the celebrations--Viva la San Antonio! I am not as familiar with Houston, but I can tell it is unique. It has some similarities to Dallas, but it is still quite different, and I can't put my finger on it (but I have also spent very little time there).
The language listed above is accurate, but it is heavier in some parts than others (which may be why some people experience more than others while visiting). Depending on where I have lived over the years has affected how much "Texan" I speak. Growing up near Ft. Worth had me speaking "Texan" strongly, but there are other parts where I have heard more strong "Texan" language than I have ever spoken myself.
A few important things to remember about Texas... yes we do think we are our own country. We strongly support Texas sports teams (and those who don't are just trying to get attention by being rebels). We WANT to attend Texas colleges (no one thinks about going to school out of state unless they weren't born here). We are proud, but we are friendly (unless you mess with us and then we'll grab the bull by its horns if you know what I mean). I absolutely love Texas and have no desire to leave--just short vacations elsewhere.
A few words that I think should be added to the list: y'all (because even if other states have starting saying it, it still originated here), heck (and particularly awe heck), hafin' (which is how you say 'having'--such as hafin' to go to work), cuz (which is short for 'because' and can actually be a one-word answer to almost any question; it can also be a relative), and coke (which is a very general term that classifies all soda--be careful... just because someone says to bring them a coke, doesn't necessarily mean that they are asking for a coca-cola product).
If you don't believe we are proud people, just turn on the T.V. while here, and count how many commericials promote Texas to sell their products. Texas pride sells! This is one GREAT STATE!
When I worked at Intel I went to dinner with an engineer from northern India and his wife, and we had a good laugh talking' Texan. He had gone to college in southern Oklahoma, which is practically in Texas, you know. I'm originally from Abilene. What a funny, well-done hub! Great job.
Hi Peter, I'm a Longhorn (to non-Texans, a graduate of the University of Texas), and spent 1976-79 in Austin. To add to that credential, I worked in the highly successful establishment, Mad Dog & Beans. One of my favorite Texanisms is the way they pronounce the word "ice". Great hub!
Its all sterotyping language because not all texans talk like this just the rednecks
Gotta love it!
you made my day. I'm British. I had to practise each word carefully. Are you sure Texan is not a whole nother language? Great1 Thanks
Nice collection Pete. But you left out one of our best ones---Earl as in "Change the Earl while yer attit"
Born in Bryan....Did I say Texas was in the Rose Bowl?
Is Texas still allowed to fly their flag the same height as USA?
I knew Texas was a little different, Peter. I hitchhiked across Texas one time in the 1950's (from Corpus Christi to El Paso but didn't see (or hear) a thing. Enjoyed reading (or should I say interpreting) this hub. Well done.
Well even though I'm not originally from Texas, I have lived here for 4 years now, and is incredible how since the start my english was more like texan, good definitions of the words, and even though i'm not a born-texan I LOVE TEXAS and I'M PROUD to live in such a beautiful state
SO true!!! Love this article.
Very very funny. I've seen other lists like this, but not nearly as well 'splained or as cleverly written or even this complete. Well Done!
haha, i never realized i talked like that! but there's no other way to say these things! "gimme." ev'ryone says that!
This is not a true texas language guide if the "worsh" is in it and "Y'all" is not. I was born and raised in the Texas hill country and I have never heard anyone here say "Worsh". THAT is a Yank phrase. Oh yea, and "Ain't" needs to be added as well. Oh, and this was more of a mockery of Texan word inflection than a language guide. Half of the words are universal, you just made'em sound southern, which pertains to about 6 other states. Tip #1, making fun of Texans is sure to make you an outcast here.
Well, to my mind this is just another example of the pretensions of the folk in Baja Oklahoma. That's alright the folks below the Red River need something to help them deal with being below Oklahoma.
Ive lived in texas my whole life, and a few things I say everyday, one or two you left out, and most are plain ridiculous. It's good for laughs, but for a few expressions, (hotter than a hog on a hot plate? the heck?) if you say them, u will be called a yankee and laughed at. Don't worry, we really don't say anything weirder than other states, people just think we do.
You missed the word HOWDY for hello and yall to mean you all...
Love it! Always loved the way President George Walker Bush says "A meerr ican" with such decisiveness. Thanks for the smiles!
A meerr ican English is a fun language! :)
Love it! Always loved the way President George Walker Bush says "A meerr ican" with such decisiveness. Thanks for the smiles!
A meerr ican English is a fun language! :)
Boy! this great stuff! i love da way ya sed "never, EVER put G at the of werds!" LOL yeah... evry time i tawk wit my frends, they aint understandin' me cuz i always say " fixin' ta" and they never know wut it means.Not many Texans tawk like this, but it is if yer redneck!
This was too much! You definitely "got er dun." I would love to share this with no Texans.
I tell y'what...that there was some insightful stuff! Thanks for that. Okee doke, gotta git.
Well, I'm sorry, but this ain't right for "done":
Done - (dun). Done, completed, broken up, or tired, as in "the chicken's done", "we're done", or "I'm done."
For the last one, it should be:
"Ah'm done in."
On top of that, "done" can be used to amplify past tense verbs:
"Ah done went..."
"She done been..."
"Ah done did..."
Still, thish'yere guide is handier than hip pockets on a kangaroo!
Aww you missed y'all and howdy :P I bet those Texas Aggies would be mah-ty upset at yer fergettin their time o' greetin: "Howdy y'all!"
Lol great read :)
If you forget what to say just scream our "Remember the Alamo"
'Done', as in 'finished', is NOT in the true Texas lexicon! That's a YANKEE expression! I never heard ANYBODY in Texas use that word for 'finished' until I met some transplant 'Michiganders' that used it.
All my life (pretty much all over Texas, east, west, southeast, central), I've always heard and used the term 'through' to mean 'finished'. Examples: "Are you through with your supper?" "When you get through with your chores, we can go to town and get some ice cream."
I personally have the East Texas Piney Woods accent, and I'm very proud of it. I don't back off on it for anybody.
pretty interesting..Most of that was BS, please dont come over here talkin like that....:/
but i gotta admit i do say fixin alot :)
There's one thing missing from your terms! Y'all! How can y'all forget the best word?
Dave Hughes, you're just plumb wrong! Take it from a native Texan of 50+ years. I done been hearing done in North Texas all my life!
Actually, Dave, now that I re-read your post, I take that back. I just read it wrong! You're right about that. We don't use "done" for "finished" or "through"; although we might say, "I'm done through with that!" ;D
Um, you forgot y'all. Just sayin'.
No, we don't use y'all to refer to an individual. Y'all is plural!
Being a born and raised Austinite, I approve of this message.
Hahah I'm from Ft. Worth and this is hilarious. We don't use the "handier than hip pockets on a kangaroo." type slang here. But we do say y'all, fixin tuh, amiah right? And show nuff. I have never heard any one say "worsh" though that's just weird? Any how.. The fact about different accents from different regions is very true. People wit accents from Dallas will vary a lot from people from say Tyler TX
Also I'd like to add a few things
Yanks if you are in a resturaunt in Texas and ask for a coke you may be followed with the question "which kind" hahaha we just generalize all soda or "pop" as coke.
We don't say super market, we just say store. Oh! We call shopping carts buggies not carts.
Y'all take care now
Lissen y'all... ahm from Ingelund an wanna know the lyric line in the song "Baja Oklahoma".... as sung by Lesley Ann Warren: Second verse... "It's a drive across the border to the music in the ?.." I worked out what a "blue norther" is..... Billy Bob's forever!
PS: I'm from Yorkshire... the biggest county in England (BIGGER THAN WALES!).... There are parallels: Texas was cattle then oil, Yorkshire was sheep then coal. Yorkshire people just KNOW they are the finest, Texans have a similar modest inner knowledge. My grandad (that's "grandayuh-ddy" in Texspeak)... he used to say "Look ya yonder" and suchlike.... it's uncanny. White Rose... Lone Star... We ought to twin.
Im from England and iv been reading some of the comments on here and, I know this might sound stupid but I still have no idea what a hub is?
Hey y'all I live in Austin Texas. I've heard all of those things except the jeetjet... I still don't even know what it means. But yes we do say those things just not in every other sentence like some people think.. Except maybe in more towns that are more rural( which is very hard for us down here to say.. Rural...) we texans do know proper grammar but we just like to add our own little something in conversation... Haha!
To be honest, a lot of this isn't current "Texan." A lot of those phrases are outdated, some of them haven't been used since the late 1800s-early 1900s, except for in movies, literature, etc. Not even in rural places. I know because I was born in Forth Worth and lived in a small, rural Texas town all of my life. A lot of these words are also just embellished to fit a southern accent. Except for super backwoods towns, most peoples accents aren't so bad. While it's funny, if someone comes to visit Texas and talks like this, we find it insulting and the last thing you wanna do is insult a Texan.
My daughter linked me to this page. I thought of Michael Caine when he was doing Secondhand Lions. He asked the director (Texan) how he could pull off a Texas accent. Additionally his costar Robert Duvall, all the film crew, and the location was in Texas. The director said to him: "In England all words stand alone. In Texas, they just lean on each other." Problem solved
I am from Texas and some of those words i have never heard but most of them I have!!!!!!!! :-)
I am living in Austin, having grown up in west Texas, and I'm fixin' to move back there. My husband and I are decorating our new house, and I just had the idea to make some "Texasism" art décor (for example, a photo of a tank with the definition written out on the frame). When lookin' for more ideas, I came across your hub. I challenged myself to read all the isms without lookin' at your definitions, and every single one was familiar to me!
As a teen, I was embarrassed to admit that I used terms like "fixin' to" and "usta could," but now I think they are fantastic. I think in West Texas, they are a lot more prevalent, and YES!, people do talk like that down here, and NO!, it does not mean we're rednecks.
I have one more for ya: bar ditch. And everyone down here knows that Cokes are any kind of soda.
Yup. Ya got it pegged right on down.
I'm 11 and a true Texan. Another way to pass off as a Texan is to watch if the Texans are complaining bout the weather. If they are you can complain. If they don't complain but ask if your hot SAY NO AND ACT LIKE YOUR NOT HOT! COMPLAINING IS A DEAD GIVEAWAY THAT YOUR A YANKEE!
My daddy taught me a long time ago to never ask where someone is from. If they are from Texas, they will tell ya. If not, you don't want to embarrass them.
Ah know Texans lak to give credit wur credit is due, don't'cha? The pikture of the baby sittin' on the bench in her Texas Flag gitup belongs to mah website, Texas Trading Post-Fun Texas Stuff. It woulda been nice if instead of snaggin' it, ya gave credit whur ya snagged it from. (No, I really don't talk that way, I was just surprised to see our picture on this page with no credit given).
"That dog will hunt" as they in the Lone Star state. Nice job.
I was born and raised in East Texan. Not only was I born and raised there, but my papaw and great-papaw were too! I would say this is correct, although I have never heard anyone use "worsh". That's not Texan if I ain't heard it, lol.
@HookEm & Aaron: Yes, some of the things I say are from bygone days, but then so am I! ;D
I remember my aunts using phrases when I was a girl that we just don't hear any more at all like "Land's sake!" "Laws!" "My stars!" "Lawsy me!"
I see a lot of people writing "Show nuff!" It's actually "Sho' nuff!" It has nothing to do with "shows" and everything to do with "sure".
Sure enough! ;D
and please don't forget to tell them about the "bar ditch"...
I was born and raised in Texas. One thing that I heard and use myself is "tump." It means to turn over and dump out, such as "the flower pot got tumped over. Like your hub.
Good grief. It's not y'all. It's y'all. You're not saying ya will or ya shall. You're saying you all. The apostrophe goes after the y. If any of you whippersnappers had heard the real old-timers of Texas, the ones born in the 1800s, you could hear them make a small, almost imperceptible pause between y and all.
It's y'all. Get it straight.
::::We strongly support Texas sports teams (and those who don't are just trying to get attention by being rebels).:::
Loving local teams is far from unique for Texas. Sheesh, some people need to set foot outside the Lone Star State every now and again.
Also: People who don't like Texas teams aren't necessarily trying to rebel. What a stupid statement. I like the SF Giants because my grandfather liked them, and he started liking them back in the 30s. I'll grant you that he could be a cantankerous old cuss sometimes, but he wasn't remotely a rebel.
:::Every city I have lived in or visited in Texas is completely different from any other. Each city is so unique.:::
Every city is unique--everywhere. Here, I'll give you an example of another state: Los Angeles is different from San Francisco which is different from Bakersfield which is different from Pasadena, which is different from Eureka, which is different from Hollister, which is different from--well, you get the idea.
I can do it with any other state, or country.
:::: Of course, you do realize that we are only a state by treaty between the US and the Republic of Texas.:::
Texas was annexed the exact same way that Hawaii was: There was an initial treaty that failed to pass the Senate, and eventually the treaty was modified into a joint congressional resolution bill to annex the republic. The only difference between Hawaii and Texas is that Hawaii became a territory until 1960. Texas was allowed to be annexed as a state after they passed a state constitution.
I am a native Texan. I was north of Dallas in Frisco at McDonald's. I said we women are always chunk'in change from our purses while paying. The manager (non-Texan) asked if I from Texas- I said yes. He said his wife is a Texan but not one person on his block is from Texas. He said he hears people who move to this area say people from Texas are rude. He tells them they are not from Texas.
It is true I joke--I say I am an endangered species in Collin County--as all my neighbors are from other countries and other states. Most are friendly as the best way is to strike up a conversation--most Texans will start talkin' about sumthin'. Be kind and say hi, hello, or howdy. Smile. Allow a car in who needs to go in your lane. I married a man from Ohio....he wasn't born her but got here as fast as he could. Like the bumper sticker.
To be more like someone from the south/Texas or a smaller town; say hello/strike up a conversation (I do), smile, allow a car to go in front of yours in traffic; stop to help someone with a flat tire, or in need.
In Greenville, TX a woman from LA said she never wanted to go back. She said if her car had a flat--no one would stop. In the early 90's while living Waco, a NY native moved there. She could not believe people wer so friendly--and that you had bag boys that carried your groceries to your car.
I know friendly people are everywhere. But I am a proud Texan.

For got "git" as in a request to leave/go away "Git outta here."
We drop "o" and replace with "a". Window =Winda, armadillo = armadilla.
Well, I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could. Damn glad I did. Love it here, everyone is so nice.
Thanks for sharing. I was born and raised at the jersey shore. (We have our own language. Lol ) and moved to Dallas two years ago. I got here as fast as I could. :)
Well, as a girl with several generations of Texans in her ancestry I can honestly say I've heard and used most of these sayings. Due to music and learning proper pronunciation I also know how to say wash instead of warsh when I do my hair. I do get to explain the saying - madder than an ole wet hen - when I use it to say I'm upset. As far as Texas being it's own country - it is and the rest is just suburbs. Guess folks haven't figured that out yet.
As a native Texan, ah wood say this is "pretty much" right. Only a few here ah wood shitcan.
I have lived near San Antonio and I have to say I have heard none of that here. Hears it all my life in Illinois but not in this part of Texas at least.
I was born and raised Texan. I live in PA now but will git back soons I can. My momma says she warshed and wrenched the clothes or dishes. "I swanny" is used when yer shocked by somethin. I'm not sure how to spell it but I still say ah'ont car for I don't care. The people here in PA git a kick out a my accent.
One thing I have to add is that the long I sound as in I or like or Tyler are not ah but a really long drawn out I. It's hard ta explain.
No one has mentioned that everone is called Honey or Sweety.
I'm from Abilene but have also lived in San Antonio, Austin and Frisco/North Dallas.
Proud to be a Texan.
Good gravy, This was a hoot. I loved it. Born and raised in Texas. 33 years years old and yes I say most of these. I got tickled reading it because I saw nothin wrong with most of them. Us Texans are very proud of our precious State. Thanks for writing it.
One thing I saw that disappointed me was the number of people who cannot spell y'all correctly. It is y'all, not y'all. And contrary to what True Texan posted it did NOT originate in TX. It was brought to the US by the Scots that immigrated. It's an old Scottish contraction of "ye all".
I'm a born 'n bred WEST Texan and my Montana man husband (who grew up in MA) says we are the worst of all...... we loved the article and laughed hysterically because it's all true.....but we have to add that while we leave out syllables we can also turn a one syllable into two or three....like fire.....faaahhrr........he adds that Texans don't do not mind talkin' about fartin' or poopin'.......whereas North of the Red River it's never mentioned or heard or seen. And they do not roll anything up in a tortilla but Texans don't hesitant to put anything in one. Don't mess with Texas! Yeehaa!
Whos up ta giv lessons ta a non native like m
crime,,, to crimb a tree
I heard "worsh" up in the midwest, not sure we own that one.
Thank you for including "libel'ta!" My family and I are native Texans and I've been trying to figure out where it came from. We usually say "lovel" as in "I'm lovel to whop him upside the head if he don't quit."
You make us sound like idiots, when in fact most of us do not talk like that.
Alright so I'm from Texas and I had a hard time figuring some of these words out til I sounded them out because I've never seen them all spelt out like this. But it is pretty accurate, I'd hang my hat on it.
A few years ago, I was forced into becoming a truck driver by circumstances beyond my control, like I was broke! I had a job hauling heavy equipment and wide loads in and out of Texas. When I went up north, I had to call and get a wide load permit.
The women would always say "You're not from around here, are you?"
I'd tell'em "No, and you talk faster'n I can listen!"
@Sally Branche - up yonder about 3 years ago...
Y'all is singular or collective, it ain't plural.
All Y'all is plural....... as in... All Y'all git over there
and git yer pitcher made t'gether.

I was on a business trip to Singapore a few months ago and had a chance to stay at Marina Bay Sands. I stayed at premier room in tower 1. Was supposed to stay at Deluxe room but it was fully booked, hence the premier room.
The hotel building was huge. There was over a thousand rooms. My room was at the first tower with garden view. If i had to book the room myself, and if I were on a vacation, I think I would choose tower 2 or 3 for their city view. I didn't spend much time in the room this time, anyways… so it was okay. Here are the room photos.
Garden view:
I did checked out the casino (Singapore actually allows Muslim to enter into a casino). I imagined it would be something like Vegas in TV (hahah… Not!). My non-Muslim colleague said, the casino looks like those in Genting and Macau. Guest are not allowed to take any photos inside. So no photos here.
The lobby was kinda crowded. I expected that as I saw multiple reviews in tripadvisor saying the same thing. I think it was because MBS opens their Sky Park to public (at a fee. Hotel guest can enter for free) and there's a mall adjacent to the hotel.
If you are planning to stay at MBS, do make booking in advance a few weeks/ months ahead. Though they so many room (thousands), the rooms can be highly occupied or full. On my third day there, I heard they were full house!
Innsbruck is famous with its landscape, suitable for winter sports. The city has became winter olympic host several times if I'm not mistaken. Went once to Innsbruck- spent a night there when I was road trippin from Venice to Fussen. The landscape was beautiful! The snow-capped mountains and hilly city…
Here are my photos.
Here are Imst photos. It's one of the nearby city with Innsbruck. Very touristy place….
I love this photo! Thanks to my sister for this beautiful shot. We stayed at Kampung Salang for 3 days 2 nights. Will write more about this trip.

ECU's pitchers have carried the team throughout much of the young season, but David Lucroy (0-3) has yet to settle in on the mound. He was credited with the loss after allowing four runs (all earned) on seven hits in three innings pitched. His earned run average in his four appearances is 14.04.
"David, one of the things he didn't do last year was he didn't give up a lot of hits," said head coach Billy Godwin. "He punched a lot of guys out. He just is not doing either right now. You got to understand he's frustrated. We're working with him as coaches. We've just got to keep encouraging him. We've got to keep staying with the process, putting him out there, and, sooner or later, it will click."
UNC-G jumped to an early 2-0 lead in the second inning. Tyler Long's RBI single plated Nick Chapman and Zac MacAneney followed up with a sac-bunt that allowed Jake Hall to score. By the end of that frame, the Spartans had already notched five hits.
The Spartans extended their lead to 4-0 two innings later, which prompted Nick Durazo taking the mound for Lucroy. Pitching continued to cost ECU when Tyler Long scored on a wild pitch by Durazo, which also allowed MacAneney to advance to third. MacAneney scored shortly thereafter via a sac-fly by Sean Guite.
"We're a little down in the catching," said Godwin. "[Luke] Lowery wasn't here today and [Eric] Tyler is doing all he can. He's doing a great job. We're trying to make quality pitches at times and get swings and misses. Sometimes the ball gets away from you, so that's it."
"Fundamentally, we made no errors," added Godwin. "It seems like every time we put a guy on, whether it's a walk or how many runs scored off walks…and early in the game they forced pressure. First and second, bases loaded, we squeezed out of that jam. I thought we did a good job with some of that, but you can't put the first two guys on in bunting situation. They did a good job with situational hitting."
The Pirates rallied back from three-run deficits to make it a one-run game twice. They trimmed UNC-G's lead to 4-3 in the fifth. After the Spartans pulled ahead again, ECU made it 6-5 in the bottom of the eighth.
The Pirates failed to convert once they got runners on base, though. They left 17 runners stranded, which ultimately cost them the one-run game.
"We did a good job of getting on, but we're not doing a good job getting across the plate right now," said Godwin. "We're trying to be relaxed and encouraging to them. You just got to keep encouraging them…I can remember struggling with the same thing last year. We were down at UAB in a key situation and [Drew] Reynolds gets a big two-out double that clears the bases. After that, we went on a roll. It needs to happen sooner than later."
In addition to Lowery, offensive powerhouse Ian Townsend was also out. Even having to find offense elsewhere, ECU began to crawl back into the game in the bottom of the fourth inning. Kirk Morgan's sac-fly with the bases loaded brought in Reid Love to give the Pirates their first run of the game.
|Ben Fultz against Western Kentucky.
|(Kat Jessick/InsideECUSports.com)
Ben Fultz, who had five hits in 40 trips to the plate prior to Tuesday's game, helped by supplying offense for the Pirates. He finished the game 2-for-4 with two runs. His second hit was in ECU's two-run fifth inning that cut the Spartans' lead to 4-3. Fultz's base hit put Houchins in position for Love's RBI single. Love and Fultz continued to be aggressive by stealing second and third in a two-out situation.
"It's taking it step-by-step," said Fultz. "Baseball is a crazy game. If you succeed three out of 10 times, you're considered a Hall of Famer. You just got to take your time with it and realize what you have. Sometimes, it's just not going to go your way. Staying in that mindset where you have confidence is always key. They're falling now, but I've still got a lot to work on so I'm excited."
After two scoreless innings, ECU showed signs of life with two runs in the bottom of the eighth. It wasn't enough to make the comeback, though, as the Spartans clung to their one-run lead in the ninth.
The Diamond Bucs get right back to business tomorrow against another in-state rival. They play Wake Forrest in Wilson at 6 p.m.

Javier Pastore is an Argentine footballer who plays for French giants Paris Saint-Germain and the Argentina national football team. Signing for Paris Saint-Germain in 2011 for €39.8 million Pastore is renowned for his creativity, passing and playmaking abilities.
Born on the 20th of June 1989 Pastore began his club career at Talleres in 2007. Pastore slowly worked his way up to the first team. In 2007, he made his debut in the Argentine second division under the wing of manager Ricardo Gareca. During the 2008 season, he was loaned to Huracán of the Argentine Primera. Pastore made his professional debut for Huracán on 24 May 2008 in a 1-0 loss with River Plate. His performance against River Plate was particularly lauded where he opened the scoring with a 25-yard shot and then scored again with a piece of individual brilliance helping Huracán win 4-0 in the club's biggest win against River Plate in over 60 years.
On 11 July 2009 Palermo formally announced the signing of Pastore for five years until 30 June 2014, with the transfer fee being about €4.7 million. Before his move to Palermo, the player was also linked to number of other top European clubs, including Manchester United, FC Porto, AC Milan, and Chelsea. His debut was on 15 August in the Coppa Italia, while his debut in Serie A was eight days later. He scored his first Serie A goal on 30 January 2010 in a 2-4 away defeat to Bari. In 2010 Pastore won the Serie A Young Footballer of the Year award. On 6 August 2011, Paris Saint-Germain formally announced the signing of Pastore, wearing the number 27. Pastore scored his first goal in a Ligue 1 match against Stade Brest in a 1-0 win on 11 September 2011.
Following a series of good performances in his first season at Italian Serie A level, Argentina head coach Diego Maradona called up Pastore for national squad duty against a Catalan representative team for an unofficial friendly game on 22 December 2009. Pastore made his debut as a second half substitute scoring a goal in the process. His official debut was against Canada on 25 May 2010 and Pastore was included by Maradona in Argentina's 23-man squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Where can I find vintage film or articles about bodyboarding. I'm 29 years old and have been surfing since the early ninties. I have some of my old Bodyboarding Magz from back then, but I'm really interested in the roots, like pre-1985 when it first really took off. The legends like Mike Stewart, Ben Severson and Keith Sasaki had to come from somwhere.
When did it really come into its own? Is there a documentary or something?

little general history
All body boarding mags were created quite a few years after body boarding became a sport of its own. You need to research old surfer magazines. I remember there was an article about the Morey boogie board in it. The stand up model was the Morey-Doyle. Sorry I dont remember the year, definitely not the month. I still remember a quote from the article " you don't surf it, you boogie it". Hmmmm guess try around the mid to late 70's? Of course the Hawaiians were riding Paipos for a long long time...Just a couple of ideas to point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply. Morey Boogie started in 1971, and I know they were at least having pro contest as early as1980. It would be insane to see footage of that. I think I should change the name of my post, and maybe I'll get more views.

very good, not perfect 04/04/2012
This review is from: SIIG USB 3.0 4-Port PCIe i/e Model JU-P40212-S1
Good build quality. No issues with physical install - everything lined right up. Driver installed without issue (downloaded updated "xHCI Driver v1.12.18" from TI). Using this for external backup disks. Backup speed jumped from about 15-20MB/s to 60-70MB/s.
At install time, VMWare workstation 8.0 does not support this USB3 chipset so I have to add the disks as "physical disks" which is more of a hassle than attaching/detaching a USB storage device.
The connectors on the back are spaced very tightly, I ran into issues with cables having slightly overmolded connectors.
Only 1st and 2nd external connector work with my Rosewill RX358 enclosure, whereas all 3 external connectors work with e.g. Transcend USB3 thumb drive.
Other Thoughts:
It gave me what I needed - speed-up of my backups.
