First, you may write a letter or an e-mail stating your field of interest. You should also include an updated CV. Staff will notify you when a committee is forming for a project in your area of interest. You may also visit the Volunteer section of our website to browse CLSI's committees and projects, and volunteer for a specific committee using a nomination form. Whether you send an open letter or a nomination form, a member of the CLSI staff will respond to your submission with a letter to you, indicating receipt of your request.
Your organization does not need to be a member of CLSI for you to become a volunteer. CLSI has 2,000 volunteers, who work together to develop CLSI documents through CLSI's consensus process. Learn more about CLSI membership opportunities here.
CLSI offers voluntary consensus standards and guidelines, reports, and a number of companion products.
Standards are documents developed through the consensus process that clearly identify specific, essential requirements for materials, methods, or practices for use in an unmodified form. Standards may, in addition, contain discretionary elements, which are clearly identified.
Guidelines are documents developed through the consensus process describing criteria for a general operating practice, procedure, or material for voluntary use. Guidelines may be used as written or modified by the user to fit specific needs.
Reports are documents that have not been subjected to consensus review and are released by the appropriate consensus committee.
Companion products include any item provided or sold that is intended to be used in conjunction with a CLSI standard or guideline. Examples include, but are not limited to, Quick Guides, Wall Charts, software, and templates. Companion products typically contain or refer to technical content taken directly from standards and guidelines.
CLSI voluntary consensus is the agreement among materially affected, competent, and interested parties. Voluntary consensus does not always connote unanimous agreement, but it does mean that the participants have considered and resolved all relevant objections.
Any person or organization, including CLSI committee participants or committees, may propose a new CLSI project by submitting a completed Project Proposal Form.
Project proposals are evaluated through a progressive project assessment/authorization process that includes:
Following project assessment, the completed proposal, the approved subcommittee roster, and a project business plan are presented to the Chairholders Council for authorization.
Respond to a Call for Volunteers for a new project by sending a statement of interest in participating on the committee. In order to process your request, CLSI needs a current copy of your curriculum vitae and a Disclosure of Interests form (which will be provided to you after your request).
Member selection for a document development committee is primarily based on expertise and/or practical experience as defined in the project proposal.
The following additional criteria are considered in the member selection process:
Consensus Committee—oversees development and review of consensus documents within its assigned area of responsibility. The consensus committee ensures the document's technical accuracy and overall quality throughout the consensus process. All participants should have expertise and experience in the subject area.
Committee participants:
Chairholder—develops annual project plans and budgets, oversees all stages of document development, facilitates achievement of committee objectives, and reports progress to the Chairholders Council.
Vice-Chairholder—serves as leader and representative of the consensus committee in the chairholder's absence.
Member—each member is expected to read the Candidate Draft for Advancement and the Consensus Draft carefully during the voting periods, submit a vote, and make any required corrections to ensure the document's technical accuracy and overall quality prior to publication.
Advisor—identifies topics for consideration for new consensus documents, develops new project proposals, may serve as document development committee or working group chairholder, and provides input on draft documents submitted to the consensus committee for approval.
Reviewer (formerly Observer)—provides valuable input by reviewing draft documents and providing expert commentary.
Document Development Committee—drafts individual consensus documents and revises them to address comments received during the consensus process, considering scientific accuracy, practicality, and comprehensibility in order to create documents with high quality and utility.
Committee participants:
Chairholder—reports to the consensus committee chairholder, develops and implements project budget and schedule, plans and conducts committee meetings, manages development or revision of the document, and monitors participation of committee members and contributors.
Vice-Chairholder—serves as leader and representative in the chairholder's absence.
Member—develops table of contents, identifies primary references, participates as a contributing author and subject matter expert, completes and votes on the document development committee's draft document, addresses all comments submitted during the voting stages, and revises drafts as appropriate.
Contributor (formerly Advisor or Observer)—reviews and comments on draft documents. These individuals, who are knowledgeable and experienced in the topic area, provide valuable input on the draft documents.
Committee Secretary—supports the consensus process by providing accurate, technically oriented meeting summaries. The secretary is knowledgeable in the subject area and is able to prepare meeting summaries that include details supporting the rationale for decisions and changes made during the meeting.
CLSI expects member organizations to assume responsibility for the expenses of their representatives serving on CLSI committees.
CLSI may reimburse the travel expenses of committee members representing organizations in the professional and government sectors if the nominating organization is unable to cover these expenses. Such reimbursement must be requested at the time of nomination. (Advisors, Observers, and Contributors are not reimbursed.) This requirement assists CLSI in planning and budgeting for its standards program.
If you are nominating a candidate as a potential committee member, please make every effort to arrange for the responsibility of these expenses. If your organization is unable to assume this responsibility, please check the appropriate box on the online nomination form to request CLSI reimbursement of these expenses (contingent on appointment of your nominee as a committee member).
(Standing) subcommittee—continually updates and revises certain standards and guidelines. The subcommittee is usually responsible for scheduled review and supplemental updates of multiple documents.
Committee participants:
Chairholder—oversees document development for technical excellence, clarity, suitability for user, timeliness of publication; monitors participation; reports to the consensus committee.
Vice-Chairholder—serves as leader in chairholder's absence.
Member—identifies needs, reviews and votes on drafts, reads and corrects
CDA and CD to ensure accuracy and quality.
Advisor—develops project proposals, provides input on draft documents submitted for approval, serves as working group chairholder or member.
Reviewer (formerly Observer)—reviews and comments on draft documents.
CLSI documents undergo five stages of development before publication as an approved standard or guideline. The development includes drafting, review, comment, and voting, and follows one of two development tracks. Both tracks have the same five voting stages. During each voting stage, the document development committee addresses any comments, errors, omissions, inconsistencies, or unresolved issues.
For new projects, the individual(s) proposing a new project will indicate, on the project proposal form, the appropriate track designation, Track 1 (15-month timeline) or Track 2 (25-month timeline). For those projects designated as Track 2, proposers are required to provide a rationale for the extended timeline.
Once a project proposal is submitted for endorsement, the consensus committee will determine whether the project will go forward as a Track 1 or Track 2 based on the scope, complexity, comprehensiveness, and depth necessary to cover the topics, and the degree of controversy to be resolved to achieve consensus
Anyone is eligible to review a CLSI draft document. Throughout the document development process, the draft is reviewed by the document development committee and the appropriate consensus committee at specific points in the process. During Voting Stage 2, the document is reviewed by the CLSI delegates and the board of directors. At this time, it is also available for public review. Comments related to CLSI draft documents should be made in writing using the comment table form. These comments, as well as requests for copies of draft documents, should be submitted via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or by fax to 610.688.0700.
Anyone may submit a comment on a CLSI document. All comments are addressed, according to the consensus process, by the CLSI committee that developed the document. Comments either result in a change to a document when published at the next consensus level, or are responded to by the committee in an appendix to the document. Users are strongly encouraged to comment in any form and at any time on any CLSI document.
Comments may be submitted, using our comment form, via email at firstname.lastname@example.com, fax to 610.688.0700, or mail to:
950 West Valley Road, Suite 2500
Wayne, PA 19087, USA
Unresolved objections (ie., "reject" votes) and substantive changes after balloting are reported to the committee, and committee members have the opportunity to respond, reaffirm, or change their votes based upon the stated objection(s).
Unchanged reject votes or unresolved comments are appended to the document as minority opinions, with a notification and request for user input.
Appeal of substantive issues related to the contents of CLSI documents is incorporated in the consensus development process by requiring all relevant objections to be satisfactorily addressed by the respective committee.
The CLSI Administrative Procedures provide for appeal by persons or organizations that have been or will be materially or adversely affected by substantive and procedural actions or inactions with regard to the development, revision, reaffirmation, or withdrawal of a CLSI consensus document. The appeals procedures shall provide for participation by all parties concerned without imposing an undue burden on them. Consideration of appeals shall be fair and unbiased and shall fully address the concerns expressed.
These appeals procedures are consistent with the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Essential Requirements. Each objector shall be informed that an appeals process exists within the procedures used by CLSI. The burden of proof to show adverse effect shall be on the appellant.
The CLSI consensus procedure incorporates two avenues of appeal: appeal of substantive issues and appeal of procedural issues. Procedural appeals include whether a technical issue was afforded due process. Notice of this process will be incorporated in the comment/response summary published in CLSI consensus documents.
Terms and definitions are fundamental parts of documents; therefore, it is necessary to standardize their use.
Toward that end, CLSI:
A consensus committee, with its balanced membership, is the consensus body for each project within its assigned area of responsibility. Area committees are structured to ensure balanced focus on consensus management; identification of user needs; liaison with ISO/TC 212, and with other standards development organizations when necessary and appropriate; and participation of experienced and new volunteers. Area committees serve as management groups rather than document-drafting committees. They identify and prioritize consensus-development projects and oversee the development and review of consensus documents within each area of interest.
(Standing) subcommittees have primary responsibility for drafting individual consensus documents and for evaluating and addressing comments received during each phase of the consensus process. Scientific accuracy, practicality, and comprehensibility are to be considered by the subcommittee, with the goal of creating documents of overall high quality and utility.
A working group is a subunit of a (standing) subcommittee. A working group's assignment is limited in scope and it is disbanded upon completion of the assignment. Short-term assignments that can be handled by working groups include: responding to comments on a CLSI consensus document; writing a single document or section of a document; conducting a special technical study; and, developing comments on a document developed by an organization other than CLSI.
Yes, CLSI is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Voting can be accomplished at a committee meeting, during a conference call, or electronically via e-mail. Only document development committee participants designated as members, consensus committee members, and CLSI delegates and alternate delegates are eligible to vote on documents.
CLSI distributes more than
standards and guidelines per year, worldwide.

"Only good things to say here. Every time we went everyone was so helpful! I found the dress I wanted the first day I went "looking" and it's beautiful! They are very good."
New Orleans Wedding In May
Rebecca and Kevin's Wedding
"Value is an unmentionable when thinking David's Bridal...but one thing you may NOT know about is service. 2 weeks before our wedding our MOH tried on her dress, it was too small. I called the Novi DB, no problem, they will exchange. Found the Dearborn store had it in stock. We drove right there, no hassles, no problem, very gracious. I couldn't have been more pleased. And I loved my wedding dress!!!"
Sam and John's Wedding
"Beautiful dresses and reasonable! Everyone found a dress to fit their figure and looked beautiful."
Susan and Robert's Wedding
"I found my dress in about 15 minutes. I couldnt believe it only took that long and that it was less than 1000 dollars too."
Heather and Eric's Wedding
"David's very convenient in that I could have all my bridesmaids go at their leisure to pick out and get fitted for their dresses. I didn't have the hassle of having to get the whole group together since they had locations near to all of them. I had each choose their own style dress in the same color. I liked that they had the freedom to choose dresses that they were happy with and that could fit in a price range they were comfortable with. They even replaced a dress the week prior to the wedding because the size no longer fit one of the maids. David's has a wide assortment of colors and styles. I also got my dress from them, and was happy with my dress. My only concern was that the store is often so busy on weekends, that during one of my maid's appointment I felt that the consultant was too busy to focus."
Jovanna and Demetrius's Wedding
"ladys were very helpful with everything even last minute changes"
Christine and Andrew's Wedding
"Consultant was awesome , prices are reasonable. Didn't really feel there was alot of selection."
Sarah and Chad 's Wedding
"They werent pushy when I was picking out my dress and the Alterations expert really was that - an expert! She did exactly what I wanted and the dress looked perfect. The Alterations were reasonably priced and I didnt have any problems!"
Nona and Matthew's Wedding
"Easy and fast service. Reasonable prices."
Sara and Justin 's Wedding
"The invitations we beautiful, we made the response cards on our own to match. They offer a lot of discounts as well."
Billings, MT wedding
"My experience at Davids Bridal was fantastic, I have no complaints! The staff was so kind, I had a great time at my fittings and the bustle stayed put all night. I absolutely loved my dress as did my husband!"
Stacy and Peter's Wedding
"I was able to find a beach friendly dress (if you plan to have a beach wedding, make sure to get a light dress that is easy to shake sand out.) I told the associates what I was looking for and they were able to find my dream dress for me!"
Casey and Lincoln's Wedding
"I found the perfect dress here and my bridesmaids' dresses came from here as well! Both are absolutely fantastic and I would wear either one tomorrow if I had to. My consultant was so kind and helpful, not to mention patient!"
23185 Hwy 435 Abita Springs Wedding In June
"I had a very long engagement, and thus, I had lots of time to try on wedding dresses. I went to David's Bridal probably 5-6 times trying on new dresses and one dress in particular that I was considering until I finally made a purchase. This is the benefit of a corporate chain supplier. They want you to come in multiple times. They want you to buy not matter what. I would guess it might be hard for a small wedding dress shop to accommodate brides 5-6 times each. The quality of the dresses seemed to vary. I wound up purchasing a dress that was of higher quality and pricier than some of DB's other dresses and thus I was really pleased. You just have to keep your expectations realistic. I had a relatively good experience with DB, but I'm not high maintenance. The attentiveness of the sales girls varied from always around to relatively hands-off. The only thing that I wish they would have done differently was to measure/size me while I had my bustier, and slip on. After I had decided to buy and the saleswoman was placing the order, she measured me and order according to my size in regular clothing. Thus, she ordered a 16W vs a 16, which meant that the bust area of my dress was slightly too large for my body. In the end everything worked out and I looked and felt great on my wedding day, but there was a bit more material than necessary in my bust region making the dress dig into my shoulders some. Keep your expectations real about David's Bridal and your needs practical and you can find some affordable wedding attire."
Our Wedding
"We ordered our invitations on David's Bridal's website. The invitations first arrived in the wrong colors but when I called to the company, they quickly corrected the mistake and sent me the correct invitations. They were very friendly and the invitations were great. Fairly inexpensive."
Lindsay and Nathan's Wedding
"Can't beat this place for bridesmaids dresses--huge selection of colors and styles and they have stores nationwide. As for bridal, the selection is good--fittings are a bit chaotic."
Our Wedding
"good selection and online planning."
jess and eric's Wedding
"Ordered our invitations from davidbridal.com and we were so happy with them. They were on special and therefore really cheap compared with all the other invitations we were seeing, and they were beautiful."
Stephanie and Joseph 's Wedding
"Great selection and good price. They worked with me even when I gained some weight and had to trade in my dress for a bigger size. The alterations lady in Brea is the best!"
Dyan and Will's Wedding
Melissa and Joseph's Wedding
"So many options to choose from and the staff at the monroeville store were great. I found my dress (THE DRESS) in the first stop there. Great to work with for the bride's maids dresses."
Sarah and James's Wedding
"They were phenomenal! My consultant helped me pick a dress that was perfect for my personality. She helped me find everything that was needed to feel like a princess. My dress was perfect, as the bride I had no stress when it came to my dress. But my bridesmaids on the other hand had some issues. They dyed the shoes the wrong color the first time for my bridesmaid and my maid of honor had to run around to different stores trying to find the dress she had put on hold."
Amanda and Todd's Wedding
"While I wasn't wowed by David's Bridal I don't have any negative things to say either. The girls were all very helpful when I came in each time. I also showed up without an appointment one day to try on a short dress I bought for the rehearsal and they fit me right in without a problem. My bustle was very complicated but looked amazing and Natasha did a wonderful job with it."
Easton Wedding In June
Tacoma Wedding In June
"I love Davids Bridal! I walked in to get my sisters maid of honor dress and I started looking around at the wedding dresses and saw my dream dress. I picked it out and asked if someone could help me so I could try it on. They were so nice and had someone help me try my dress on. I walked out of the store with that dress in my hands and the biggest smile on my face."
Andrea and Peter's Wedding
"Great beatiful dresses without spending alot of money"
Maria and Robert's Wedding
"David's Bridal was very helpful and understanding. They helped out a lot, the price was cheap and had fun."
Melissa and John's Wedding
Lansdale Wedding In September
"I wasn't able to find my dress here but they do have beautiful, affordable dresses. All my bridesmaids & flower girl got their dresses here.. great selection, great customer service most of the time ( exceot when their really busy) Dont go on the weekends.. its crazy! Plymouth meeting location"
Melissa and Timothy's Wedding
Morgan and Grant's Wedding
"I know that the "chain" stores sometimes get a bad rap, but David's Bridal made the experience of finding "the" dress pleasant. They also bent over backwards to help us with exchanges, sizing, etc."
Oak Brook Wedding In April
Karen and Wayne's Wedding
Nicole and Peter's Wedding
"No fuss, no muss...found my dress in my first visit, good price point. The service is a little bit lacking because they deal with so many brides all at the same time, but that's to be expected with a national chain store."
Directions From the Church to the Reception
"All of the bridesmaids got their dresses at David's Bridal. I did have them pay for their own dress, but the nice thing about David's Bridal, is that I went into the store, picked out the dress I wanted them all to wear and setup an account. Which made it so much easier, as not all of my bridesmaids live in Salem, and were able to go into David's at their leisure. I had a bridesmaid that lived in Beverton and another that lived in Eugene. All they did was go into their local David's Bridal, tell them there were a bridesmaid for Maria Orias, and the lady would look up my account and have them try on the dress I picked out and the girls would order it. So way easier than having to go to go with each girl to have her dress fitted!"
Ashley and Daniel's Wedding
"My Bridesmaid's and I were pleased with the selection available, and with 1 great helpful employee, Deana at the Lenexa, KS store. The rest of the store needs some improvement with customer service. I would go back, but I'd make a point to only schedule appointments with her."
Chaunte' and Dave 's Wedding
"I went to the location in North Charleston, SC. David's Bridal is typical, like any other David's Bridal. My friend and bridesmaid, Krystle, worked there at the time when I was shopping so of course I got great service. I never felt rushed. As for alterations, the manager at my store is fab! She won't let things go that aren't up to standard. I highly recommend them."
Cherri and Harvey's Wedding
"I looked at other shops around the St. Pete area, but the prices just did not compare to what David's Bridal has to offer. I found a lovely dress there and it was actualyl within my budget. The staff was not very helpful and the alterations did not go as planned."
Tiffany and Ronald's Wedding
"I only chose David's Bridal because I'm extremely petite and DB carries a petite line. The sales associates were no help whatsoever. They seemed frustrated by my small size and offered no suggestions for dresses to try on. Also, the store carried maybe 3 or 4 dresses in small sizes, and I was in a major metropolitan area. Luckily, prior to my arrival, I printed out a list of dresses I wanted to try on. I made the sales associate find the smallest size she had in the dresses I like. The first dress I tried on was hard to gauge because it was 4 sizes too big, but I loved it! I ordered the dress in the smallest size I could and it arrived very quickly. After reading reviews online about DB's poor alterations department, I took my dress elsewhere (read other reviews). In the end, I was very happy with the actual dress itself. It fit my personal style and wedding very well. Luckily, my sales associate knew better than to offer me shoes or undergarments due to my small size. However, she did try to push $200 over-the-top hair accessories, even though my dress only cost $400 -how silly. I ended up choosing what I liked best and didn't let the associate sway my decision. Lastly, my particular associate must have been awful at keeping track of records. She called me 2 or 3 times to tell me my maid of honor hadn't purchased a dress, although she bought one at THAT store with THAT associate 10 months prior to my wedding."
Mexico Wedding In September
"Great idea to get your invitations done. It may cost a little more than doing it your self but after about 1 hour on the net you can get them together and printed perfectly no hasle!"
Beth and David's Wedding
Our Wedding
"I got my dress from this place in Lincoln and was happy with everything. I loved the dress and it wasn't as stressful as I had thought it was going to be."
Jennifer and Greg 's Wedding
"My daughter purchased her wedding gown and veil from David's Bridal, and she looked absolutely stunning. The bridesmaids also purchased their dresses from there also."
Kaitlyn and Timothy's Wedding
"As with all chain stores, there is nothing amazing about this place. I didn't even want to look, but the sale prices enticed me in. The associates were friendly enough and luckily I found my dress at a reasonable price. However they called me far too many times for no real reason."
wedding map
"A wonderful experiance..would recommend them to anyone! Please know that whatever you buy is yours. Even if it has bought right off the shelf and is a very generic item......IT IS YOURS, NO EXCHANGES!"
Adeshka and Thomas's Wedding
Our Wedding
"Prices were good but quality is lacking. only dress shop in town."
Crystal and Richard's Wedding
"They had the best dresses in town! I LOVED my bridesmaids dresses! But the service there really sucked! I got so much mixed information. For example, I was told by my consultant to get a certain size of heel, but when I went to go get fitted, it was the complete opposite size that I was told from my consultant. Thank God I hadn't bought my shoes yet! And there were other issues. But quality of dresses was great and the managers there are the only ones that know what's going on there!"
Jennifer and Zac's Wedding
"In retrospect, we spent way too much on the invitations. They looked great but we could have come up with something and had them printed locally for easily one third the cost. Website is kind of a pain to navigate."
Erik and Gina's Wedding
"I was not very pleased when I went in to David's Bridal to look at bridal gowns, but with such a large store it depends on who you get. However, we went there again for bridesmaids dresses and I was very peased with their service. I was pretty indecisive and they were very patient. We got two different dresses for four bridesmaids and they were different prices. The sales clerk let us divide the total cost by 4 so everyone could pay the same price. The dresses came in very quickly and they let one bridesmaid pick them all up. I would recommend David's Bridal at elast for bridesmaid dresses, especially if you want matching vests, which you can get from Men's Wearhouse!"
Lindsey and William's Wedding
"These guys were super helpful!"
Nikki and Evan's Wedding
"I bought the Oleg Cassini princess ballgown dress and LOVED it!!! My only issue was with alterations in West Palm Beach. My dress was a size 4 and way to big. The lady needed to take in the back and the sides and cut out a strip in the back and hem all 10 layers of this toole dress. Anyways, she said no problem. I left the dress with her at the beginning of Oct. and went to pick it up at the end of Dec. I was supposed to pick it up in Nov. but she called to cancel the appointment because she needed more time. I was ok with that, I just wanted my dress to be perfect! So I go back in Dec. and my dress was way to small now!!! I couldnt even zipper the dress up. She measured me again because she thought my weight had alterd which it had not! She went in the back and was asking how this happend. I was calm and she said that she could pull the fabric from the inside and make it fit. How does the dress go from being way to big to way to small? The dress was also very choppy and uneven on the bottom. She had not cut the toole even at all. I left and started to look for a new dress just in case they had to replace mine for a new one. I went back for the next fitting and it fit! The bottom was still alittle uneven but she told me that that was not going to be perfect. HUH! I took the dress home and found pins in it that she didnt take out. I wore it on my wedding day and it was great. After it was steamed the bottom evened out more. I would recceomed finding a dress that fits you perfectly and does not need any if much alterations!"
Catherine and Jack 's Wedding
"I had amazing luck with the bridal gown. It was stunning and on sale in my size off the rack for an amazing price. I got a lot of accessories there which was great. The bridesmaids and mother of bride got their dresses there and had no trouble ordering or fitting and they looked good. The only negative experiences were some weird customer service issues with individual stores. At one, they all but refused to steam dresses without bringing them in 2 weeks ahead of time - not an option for the girls traveling with their dresses to the wedding. They were on their own, despite a different store telling them that all the stores would do it on short notice. I also had a weird call telling me one of the bridesmaid dresses was shipped to the store I got my bridal gown at, when it absolutely had not, and then no one could explain who placed the call. One bridesmaid had them misplace her dress in the back of the store and it took an hour to find it. In general, good, but some really weird events here and there."
Amanda and Jesse's Wedding
"Loved my dress, staff was friendly and it was easy to get things done."
Natonya and Andrew's Wedding
"It was great because there are locations EVERYWHERE. This makes it very easy for the girls to go try on dresses and pick them up. They were very accommodating. Good selection too. All of my bridesmaids got dresses and purses from David's Bridal."
Jami and Steve's Wedding
"The alterations were OUTRAGEOUS in cost, but part of the problem was the style of dress I bought - alterations were a bitch. However, the seamstress (Radha) was absolutely wonderful! And I love my dress and I would wear it daily if I could. I looked beautiful, felt beautiful, and had a great time in it!"
Pittsfield Wedding In October
"Although, I loved my dress and my bridesmaid dresses. Davids dresses aren't made as well as well. You can get better quality a dress shop for the same prices....unless your looking for a dress 300 or less."
Garden Ceremony and Reception
Jessiann and Carlos's Wedding
"I loved my dress, my booty looked awesome!"
Halifax Wedding In October
"As always, David's Bridal is a typical chain. Although they did their best to make things perfect for us, their prices are high and their selection for plus size women is not that great if you're on a budget."
Kristen and Shauns Wedding
"Good service, pretty dresses"
Las Vegas Wedding In August
"Paseo Plaza"
Aimee and Eric's Wedding
"My consultant did a great job in helping me find the dress of my dreams. I think it was the second dress I tried on. She was patient, informative, and honest. I got the dress for a great price as well."
Kesha and Jason 's Wedding
"I loved my dress!"
Michelle and Derek 's Wedding
"Do not buy from Davids Bridal. Cheap overpriced and very bad return policy."
Cameron and John's Wedding
"They were excellent for my wedding dress, but when it came time to order my girl's dresses they mismeasured everyone! Every single dress was far too big and they refused to admit it was their fault. They said their system makes them order it that way. They also were very inattentive and though I know a wedding dress can be costly so it's important to be a good sales person to the bride, the bridal party also spends a lot of money and deserves good treatment. I recommend paying a little more somewhere else and getting it right the first time."
Caitlin and Brian 's Wedding
"Before I started looking for my dress I never thought I would find it at Davids Bridal For some reason I thought they wouldn't have what I was looking for. I went to 2 other shops first and they had nice dresses that were close to what I was looking for – but the stretched my budget a little. I went to Davids and was helped by Roberta who showed me this beautiful v-neck lace dress and it was about ½ the price of the other dresses I had liked. I also went here for my alterations, but they were a little more expensive than I thought they would be. I paid $250 I think for hemming (my dress had 2 layers), bustle, veil shortening, cups and taking in the dress on the shoulders. So I guess I got a lot done, but it still seemed a little high. I had no trouble with Davids Bridal even though I had heard stories about bad customer service. My dress came in 2 months early and the alterations looked really good, so I only have good things to say about them. Also my bridesmaids bought their shoes at Davids and got a discount because I bought my dress there."
Chris & Yvonne's Wedding
"We got the bridesmaid & flower girl dresses here basically for the reasonable prices. Each bridesmaid had to get simple alterations for the shoulders of their dress and the alterations only cost around $30. All the dresses came in very quickly- weeks before they were supposed to. Good experience overall though when I went here to try on bridal gowns, I was not impressed."
Jackie and Ryan's Wedding
"They have an AMAZING selection of dresses and gowns. I am so glad I went there first to look at dresses. I got mine for 450 where I know others paid over a thousand! Alterations can be pricey but I felt well worth it. They have great bridesmaid dresses as well, and they match with Men's Warehouse! I loved going to David's!"
Kacee and Jason's Wedding
"Dress was very pretty & affordable, but alterations were CRAZY EXPENSIVE! My consultant was friendly & helpful. But I had issues with my bridesmaids gowns. The store messed up sizes when they ordered them, was not able to alter one dress correctly. So just be cautious & check facts & figures with them. FACT :: IF YOU BUY A DRESS FROM THEM FOR ANYTHING AND YOU TAKE IT TO BE ALTERED ELSEWHERE THEY WILL NOT TOUCH IT EVERY AGAIN! THEY WILL NOT STEAM IT OR ANYTHING!"
Our Wedding
"I went with David's Bridal cause they had a huge sale and I saw a dress I absolutely loved! Problem was with the customer service girls- they weren't all that helpful and seemed less helpful when I inquired about alterations. Would I recommend them- if you are on a budget, yes- if not NO!"

Katrina and Tyler's Wedding
"Horrible service in Eau Claire...but they happened to have the one dress i fell in love with."
Shannon and Roy 's Wedding
"I had really bad luck working with Davids. They have gorgeous dresses and really great prices. Its had to get any one to help you. Every time I went, I had a long wait, and we were always left without a consultant. When we got the bridesmaid dresses, we had to help each other dress and had to find all our own sizes and carry every dress to the rooms. They did nothing at all, but ring up the sale. The alterations to my dress were horrible. They completely ruined it at the first fitting, and it took 3 more to get it fixed. It still wasn't right, but with my wedding a week away I was out of time. My dress was horribly uncomfortable the day of. I regret ever going to Davids Bridal."
Boca Raton Wedding In October
"poor service, just trying to make a sale. i made an app and still got bad service. a lady from corp who was doing a visit ended up helping me because i was wandering around aimlessly i a dress i was trying on"
Libbie and Kent's Wedding
"My dress was beautiful. And it was expensive. They didn't tell me the prices of extra items until they gave me the bill. DO NOT BUY THE EXTRAS AT DAVID'S. $75 bra? $150 veil? Another $50+ for a petticoat?? AND it cost me another $200+ to get it taken up a quarter inch and bustled. I thought it would be included in the price of the dress, until they handed me the bill after my fitting. Take it elsewhere. I didn't even need any of the underthings given the thickness of my dress, but they assured me that I would definitely NEED these things. Oh, and I also get tons of phone calls from their partners TO THIS DAY. At all hours. Thanks for that, DB!"
Shekera and Kevin's Wedding
"Other than Ann Elizabeth, I was not happy with David's Bridal at all. Apparently, the Roanoke store has issues that the other David's Bridal stores do not have. The bridesmaid who went to this store had a very rude and unprofessional assistant, but the other bridesmaids went to other sites in other states and did not have any issues. In fact, they said the women were very helpful, polite and went out of their way to assist them with their needs. My mother, future mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law and myself went to Davids for the final fitting. They were disgustingly dismissive and one of the ladies actually rushed us out of the door!!! If you plan on going to this site for your dress, I suggest dealing with Ann Elizabeth ONLY!"
Heather and Maurice's Wedding
Heather and Chad's Wedding
Philip and Alicia 's Wedding
"Found my jewelry really cheap!! :)"
Whitney and Drew 's Wedding
"The consultant that we worked with was wonderful!!! The alteration dept was aweful!!! There were problems with everyones dress that was altered, including the brides. They used off white ribbon and off white thread to sew the ribbons on to bustle the dress. There were numerous OOPs'. Plus when one of the bridesmaids put her shoes on, she had 2 left shoes. Not sure how that happened. Davids bridal did let us return those shoes. But the timing was not good that we realized the problem 1 hour before the wedding."
Sara and Jon's Wedding
"I got my bridesmaid dresses here. Prices were reasonable and they were very helpful. I'd recommend them for sure."
Sandy and Derek's Wedding
"For such a big chain, I never expected this kind of services. I went to other boutiques, but David's had the best selection, great prices, and Season (my consultant) was absolutely incredible. Not to mention all the perks!"
Sarah and Adam's Wedding
"I loved my wedding dress. It was a third dress I tried on and I was done. So many people complimented me on how perfect my dress was for me. And I didn't need to get it altered. I couldn't have been happier."
Patricia and George 's Wedding
"I got a great dress for just under $600. I wish I spent a little more for better service. But, for the price I really shouldn't complain."
Alysa and Jon's Wedding
"The bride's dress along with the maid-of-honor and the flowers girls dresses all had the same ruffles and sashes except the maid-of-honors was watermelon instead of white and all the bridesmaids dresses were the same style and all wore watermelon. Sandy was the associate that helped us and she was fabulous, if you A+++ service see Sandy. 43831 West Oaks Drive West Oaks Shopping Center Novi, MI 48377"
Matt & Candy's Wedding
"Glen Burnie store was so much nicer than Waldorf. I ended up changing my dress because the lady at Waldorf didn't show me all the dresses in the silhouette I wanted. All of the consultants at Glen Burnie were very sweet and accomodating."
Jen and Rick's Wedding
Debbie and Dave 's Wedding
"Many people turn their noses up at this establishment. Why are you shopping at David's Bridal?!, someone said to me! How snobbish! For anyone's information, I went to the fancy stores in Cherry Creek, like Pricilla of Boston and I was so unimpressed, it was a mess! The gowns were ripped and torn, etc. I was not looking to spend a lot for this wedding, it was to be a casual affair, but went to David's Bridal just looking for a veil and found the most beautiful long dress, and yes ladies, for $99.00. It was perfect and modern and beautiful, just what i wanted! It had to be altered, and yup, they will get you with the alteration price, but Inna did a fabulous job and had my dress ready in plenty of time. It is not a full service salon, but if you need help, there is someone always there to help you. My experience there with my mom was one I will never forget. It was perfect."
Ashley and Garrett's Wedding
"Bridal gown & Bridesmaids worked out good for everyone living in different places!"
Ramona and Daniel's Wedding
"I purchased the T9017 in ivory. I loved the dress, but for women with a large bust you may want to invest in Hollywood tape. Otherwise, the top of the dress may keep slipping down during the reception. (as was the case for me) The David's Bridal in Madison Heights was great. Don't expect a lot of one on one time. They are a busy store, so usually the person helping you will be helping other brides at the same time. It will be quite public when you try on your gown. So, if you don't like it- or you do; everyone sees. We had a long line bra from them. When we got it home out of the plastic we found had mold on it (weird). They let us return it no problem. I also purchased my veil at David's in Madison Heights. Very pricey, but worth it. It really looked lovely with the gown. I would suggest going to David's for the Bride on a budget. But beware,they also have some gorgeous gowns that are sure to break the bank."
Rebecca and Dan's Wedding
Sarah and Michael 's Wedding
"Although I didn't particularly love the service from the people at Davids Bridal, they worked quickly and were able to answer all of the questions I had. My dress was ordered and shipped to Michaels house rather than mepicking it up at the store, and there were no problems with shipments or anything."
Mission Hills Wedding In June
"Perfect for a recessionista's wedding! Everyone thought my dress was from a designer, they had no idea how much money I saved!"
Our Wedding
"I bought a $1200 for $199! They helped me a lot with the proper fit, etc. The associate wasn't in the way or pushy at all. The only down side for me is that the racks were really unorganized and dressed were thrown around on the floor. It was a scavenger hunt, but worth it because I found my dream dress."
JarCar's Wedding
"I can't speak for other locations, but this location is wonderful(610 & San Felipe). They helped me try on dresses, find my wedding dress, and always helped me with any questions I had!! They helped me with all of my bridesmaids dresses, etc. I got my wedding dress, veil, shoes, slip, bra, headpiece/tiara, garter, flower girl basket, ring bearer pillow, bridesmaids dresses, sashes, and peek-a-boo skirts, shoes, and even an extra dress and shoes for a separate special occasion there! They even remembered me when I went in there! They are so sweet and helpful!! Especially Lorena and Sal!"

Phoenix Wedding In November
"Horrible. I had tons of problems with Bridesmaid Dresses,2 had to be re-ordered 2 weeks prior to the wedding. The sales people are WAY too pushy...one went as far as to tell me I COULDN'T have the veil I wanted because she didn't think it looked right with my dress. Well, it was the veil I wanted and I didn't care how she felt about it."
Las Vegas Wedding In November
"the consultant was more then helpful with finding the corret dress of what I was looking for. They even had it so that the members of the bridal party could be fitted out of town, and worked with them on a layaway option for those that was on a tight budget."
Edmond Oklahoma Wedding In October
"We went to the location near Quail Springs Mall and the girls there we great. Matter of fact we found my dress in ONE, yes ONE!! day!!"
Bayville Wedding In August

Shara and Jeff's Wedding
"Very affordable and beautiful. Do-it-yourself on some ribbon styles but worth it, makes memories!"

Steve and Linda's Wedding
"I got everything I needed and my bridesmaids were pleased with the dyed shoes and the dresses to match. Prices are the best here. This is the most reasonable priced ranged place for a wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses."
Lititz Wedding In October
"I really loved working with david's bridal, I had gone to 3 other salons before going to davids and had gotten pushy clerks and bad service. I walked in with me mom and my sister and we were treated with respect and although their was only one sales clerk to 4 or 5 brides she was helpful and attentive without being pushy."
Melanie and Tim's Wedding
"I went to David's during one of their $99 sales and fell in love with my gown. I bought it 17 months before the wedding, and had no real problems. I will say that if you are looking for a lot of attention as a bride or want someone to consult with you a lot, don't go to David's. If you want a great deal on a pretty dress and can handle figuring out what you want on your own, this is the way to go. My sister got her dress from David's because she was running short of time due to a pregnancy, and had no issues at all."
Kyle and Stephanie's Wedding
Kate and Jeff's Wedding
"I found my perfect dress and my bridesmaid's dresses at DB. The girls were very accommodating."
Kristi and Chad's Wedding
"The only store I went to look at for my wedding dress was David's Bridal. I love their store. The first dress I tried on was the dress I chose. Their stores are filled with a vast selection of wedding gowns, in stock, in every size. It was really nice to be able to try on the difference styles in my size and not try to wonder what it would really look like if I were wearing a bigger or smaller size. What I really liked was that they give you your own consultant to help you find the right dress. Also after I found my dress, my bridesmaids were able to find their dresses as well. They have beautiful and many colors to choose from for your wedding colors and for bridal party dresses. I do like that they have an on-site alterations, special financing options, gown preservation services, and coordinating ensembles for the entire bridal party. I was able to also order my flower girl basket, ring-bearer pillow, unity candle, guest book all matching exactly my Clover green color I had my bridal party wear. I also was able to order a Clover green sash for my 2 flower girls and for me to wear with my wedding dress. They also have a nice selection of shoes to wear and they also were able to die my bridesmaid's shoes to the Clover green color. We were all able to pick out beautiful jewelry to wear there and my veil as well. The prices are great in every area! The only thing that was frustrating for me was that you have to keep on top of them to make sure like my bridesmaid's shoes were going to be done on time and same with my dress alterations. They had to do a rush on one of my bridesmaid's shoes because they forgot to do that so I stood there while they were able to die the shoes (cause my wedding was in 2 days). But they were fast and it all still turned out great."
Kay and Bryan's Wedding
"I was very pleased with how the invites looked and their decent price."
Rebecca and Clifton's Wedding
"I ordered my wedding dress from David's Bridal online collection. I ordered it on a Monday and had the dress by Thursday! Getting the dress so quickly made it easy for me to get the alterations done that I needed. By ordering from the online collection I got a beautiful dress at a wonderful price."
Barley and David's Wedding
"Worked with my bridesmades very well but there was a small misscomunication about cleanings and alterations!"
Our Wedding
"I loved my dress, but the alternations were too expensive. Also the sales staff could be nicer."
Bettendorf Wedding In November
"I did not need much help finding a dress because I fell in love with the first one I tried on. Everyone was very nice at David's and the quality of our dresses was pretty good. I did not like how they talk you into buying dresses that are too big, it seems like they are trying to get you to pay more in alterations. They did not alter our dresses so it didn't matter."
Carrie and Max's Wedding
"i bought my dress at the David's Bridal in Tampa. They way overbooked my time. My attendant had 3 appointments at the same time, which made it hard for me to get any personalized attention. But i did find a dress I liked."
Shannon and Michael 's Wedding
"I have a mixed review for David's Bridal. While I ultimately chose my dress from there, and it was a beautiful dress, I had a few concerns. First was that they have very strict policies. I had picked a dress and had it on hold. I put money towards it and when I went back to pay for it I wanted to change dresses. No alterations had been made but they weren't going to let me cancel the first dress, and they weren't going to give me my $200 to go towards the second dress. They wanted me to pay off the first one but there is a NO RETURN policy-even if the dress never left the store! It was a head ache but eventually I got through to them and I had to use the 200 to buy other accessories THEN purchase the second dress. Basically I spent 200 more than if I had just picked dress #2 in the first place. THEN they messed up the alterations (the bottom hem was crooked) and I was so scared that I'd get the runaround. However, the manager in the alterations assured me they do guarantee the work and fixed it immediately! Overall I am glad I went there, just be sure you know what you want before you put any money down. Dont let anyone pressure you!"
Liz and Carlos's Wedding
"My wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses were from David's Bridal. They were pretty average for bridal shops - which aren't all that great to begin with. They didn't suck."
AnnMarie and Dave's Wedding
"The prices are good. Be prepared to find your dress. The consultants have 4 or 5 girls at a time. They are not very customer focused."
Sandy and Zachary's Wedding
"Initially I had a bad experience at David's Bridal the year before I began planning my wedding. I went to the Mission Valley store to shop for a dress and no one greeted me nor asked if I needed any assistance as I browsed through the store. I was completely ignored even as I walked towards the door to leave, no one approached me. Over a year later when I was ready to purchase my dress, after no success finding something at two other bridal gown shops in the Mission Valley area- I went into David's Bridal Mission Valley store. This time I was greeted with friendly service by bridal consultant Urzula. She helped me search for a dress without the pressure to buy something I didn't like (which was something I did not like about another bridal gown shop). I found my dress on a return visit. She helped me find a beautiful dress that made me feel and look like a bride the minute I tried it on and I bought it at a bargain price. Urzula was wonderful each time I called and came to the store. Urzula was very professional and sent me thank you notes for my initial visit to the store, one after the purchase of my dress, and I think another note after I got married. She followed up several times to check in with me about bridesmaids dresses. All of my bridesmaids and my matron of honor purchased their dresses through David's Bridal. All felt that the prices were reasonable and each looked stunning. Alterations is what is costly. The one thing that was an issue for me is that when I picked up my dress after my final fitting, it was supposed to be flawless instead it was missing beads and had a few loose ones(a bead check was already done) and there was a pen mark on it (it was already spot cleaned). This was days before my wedding and they resolved those issues in a timely manner and my dress was ready for my wedding day."
Ashley and Kevin's Wedding
"Great dress!!"
Asheville Wedding In July
"I didn't want to use David's Bridal but I felt I had no other choice with my far away bridesmaids. My name and dress information was not uploading into the system properly and so some girls, even though they had my email printed out with the dress style numbers and dress were unable at first to go try on dresses. Others got a lot of flack because I had picked out their dresses ahead of time and not ordered mine...from there of course. I did end up buying mine from there, but alot of my girls experienced issues with the store clerks. I had heard horror stories on alterations and had experienced first hand not having the shoes I needed dyed on time, so I took my dress to be altered elsewhere. Davids is good for the price of dresses, selection but dealing with the employees is rather horrific."

Adam and Veronica 's Wedding

Heather and Chad's Wedding
"The place to go for cheap dresses, not for service. They will treat you good the day you try on dresses, but after that, forget it. Don't even thing of getting your dress altered there."

"invitations were very nice, however they took a very very long time to arrive. Please allow for 3 months for invitations to arrive!! There are a lot of local vendors in Oahu that make amazing invitations (hawaiian style) more expensive, but nice"
Rio Rancho Wedding In March
"On my first appointment (at the store in Santa Fe), I had scheduled an appointment a week in advance. When I arrived (on time), the only saleslady was busy helping a walk-in customer, and did not help me for another hour and a half. The receptionist helped a little but didn't know what she was doing. The second experience was much better (at the store in Albuquerque, and I was able to find my dress. My dress was perfect and a good price."
Cumming Wedding In October
"Don't be fooled at buying their accessories!! (tiaras, bras etc). Write down what they "suggest" and then buy it online off craigslist or ebay!!!! I didn't end up using some very expensive things I bought spur of the moment when I got my dress!"
Becky and Aaron 's Wedding
"Their prices were great, but they were lacking in customer service."

Susan and Joe's Wedding
"I had an extremely bad DB experience and would not recommend going there. I did buy my dress there, but never looked back."
Emilia Carolina and Jonathan Michael's Wedding
"David's Bridal was the only vendor that gave me any stress when it came to planning the wedding. The customer service was terrible and even the managers were rude to my bridesmaids when they went to pick up their order. I was so upset by they way my girls were treated and honestly regret choosing David's Bridal as my bridesmaid dress provider. In the beginning when I was shopping for my wedding dress they made me feel like I was at a car dealer ship. I should not have returned and listened to my instincts."

UPDATE: Dover toll plaza appears undamaged after Tuesday crash
After firefighters extricated Graves from the Kia, she was taken to Wentworth Douglass Hospital for the treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Afterwards, she was arrested at the hospital, according to police.
Previous story follows:

The Senate Monday voted 56-26 to confirm Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen as the Fed's next chairman. Yellen, who will be the first woman to serve in that position, will succeed Ben Bernanke.
In nominating her last fall, President Obama described Yellen, a long-time Fed official, as "exceptionally well qualified" and "someone who knows how to build consensus." She has generally supported Bernanke's policies, including efforts to bolster the economic recovery that have drawn fire from some members of Congress.
While the Fed is primarily responsible for monetary policy, Bernanke has regularly provided useful warnings to elected officials about the need for more responsible fiscal policies that would support the economic recovery in the short term while laying the groundwork for broad,longer-term fiscal reforms.
Yellen's remarks in her Nov. 14 confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee followed that same line. She said she considered it "imperative that we do what we can to promote a very strong recovery."
She also took lawmakers to task for fiscal policies that "have been working at cross-purposes to monetary policy." She said some spending cuts, for example, "have certainly subtracted from the near-term momentum of the economy."

Develop an understanding of the changing social world, through a focus on the structure of society and social groups, and develop the analytical skills needed for a successful career.
The Sociology minor enables you to understand the connection between social institutions, cultural practices, and personal experience. Diverse course offerings allow you to investigate behavioral and identity dynamics through the lenses of ethnicity, age and gender — in the United States and abroad. You'll apply critical analysis methodologies to societies in the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
You will also be able to expand and apply your knowledge through service learning opportunities in the Cambridge, Mass. area.
Review the requirements for a Minor in Sociology.
This course focuses on the sociological impact and consequences of being female. It examines variations among women due to the influences of cross-cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic conditions. Through an interdisciplinary approach, students explore women's changing roles in work, relationships and family, as well as the societal image of women and patriarchy.
This course focuses on family as a social institution in contemporary North American society. Through sociological and psychological frameworks, students explore family forms and relationships, race/ethnic and class diversity, gendered division of labor and immigrant family experiences.
This course introduces students to the peoples, cultures and identities in the region broadly defined as the Middle East, and the way those issues have been studied. The course will focus on elements of social structure and organization in urban and rural life. Identity and place in society will be explored in depth. Other topics include: Occidentalism, orientalism, secularism, modernity, religion, democracy, terrorism, war and the status of women, among others.
This course introduces students to the emerging discipline of girls' studies. We focus on the social and cultural construction of girlhood and how social categories of race, class, ethnicity, and education, in conjunction with the media, shape girls' lives in U.S. society. Students apply theory to practice in a seven-week service-learning project for middle-school girls in Cambridge. Students will research, design, implement, and evaluate a girls' group focused on the intersection of identity, body image, and media literacy.

New Outlet LocationsMonday, November 28th, 2011
With help from the Class of 2011, approximately 170 new outlets were installed in Bailey/Howe this past summer.
You'll find these new power sources on the second and third floors, around the perimeter of the building. The photos below show the exact location (marked in yellow) of new outlets.
If you head upstairs to plug in, please remember that these are designated as quiet study floors and respect the work of those around you.
Thanks again to the Class of 2011!

I agree - but I'm worried about one thing.. I bought the maple leaf shirt from canada week because I liked the placement also, but in the XL size it wasn't that far over on the actual printed shirt it was more kind of off centered...
Was that just a mess up on printing or is it usually like that?

I like it. I remember it. I think we still have it.
However, i think the image would work better larger... taking up more of the image space on the shirt

Re: 1959- Che and Fidel took over cuba
Both of the originals for these images are public domain, unlike the usual image of Che Guevara that we see. I knew Che was a revolutionary, but had no idea that he was a major reason that Castro 's rebels won their revolution. Afterward, he was actually a big part of the government that they started with, only to leave within a few years, a few months before he was killed.

Rejected on what grounds? Just the fact that you don't like it?
I perk up with anything Zelda, but I can't see this getting past rejectors. It's basically a bootleg Zelda shirt. Just because the individual items are not copyrighted, doesn't mean combining them all doesn't make a Legend of Zelda product. I like the artwork though.
Tim Berners-Lee proposed the World Wide Web in March of 1989. Were it not for this brilliant idea, allowing the excange of information between computers, I might be spending my time doing my homework rather than designing shirts.

Stoke City completed a deal for striker Michael Owen this week in what was the highest profile free transfer of the summer.
To pay nothing for a former European Player of the Year and the man fourth on England's all-time list of goalscorers would appear a coup for the Potters.
But his transfer has divided opinion, with some questioning whether the 32-year-old's injury record makes him worth it.
Elswehere this summer, Andrew Johnson, Hugo Rodallega, Junior Hoillett, Pavel Pogrebnyak and Jose Bosingwa, among others, all completed free transfers. But do you really get something for nothing?

Uh Oh…My Check Engine Light Is On
So you come out to start your car one morning and the Check Engine light on the dashboard comes on…and doesn't go back off again. You can't really notice any difference in the way the car runs and drives, but it's on anyway.
What does it mean?
Since the late 80s, most engine functions have been controlled by a central drivetrain computer. This includes emissions controls, fuel metering and delivery, ignition timing, shift points and many other elements of drivability and performance. The drivetrain computer relies on information from a chain of sensors that monitor exhaust composition, camshaft position, throttle position and many other factors.
The voltage readings from any of these sensors are supposed to fall within a certain range. When ...[more]

Questions You Shouldn't Be Afraid to Ask Your Auto Repair Tech
Often, drivers are mystified by how their cars actually work. It's to be expected. Even an older car is a complex machine with many sub-assemblies that all work together to move it down the road.
As a result, drivers tend to be a little intimidated by auto repair and often tend to not inform themselves by asking the necessary questions of a tech or a garage. Too often, that ends up being a big mistake. Here are some examples of the kinds of things you really should know before any auto repair work starts:
- Does your shop work on any kind of vehicle? Of course, most shops can service a product from GM, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Toyota and the other leading makes. Some makes, however, require a lot more training and experience, o ...[more]

Six Hot Tips on Cool Air Conditioning
Summer is here, and it's time to start thinking about your car's AC system! Nobody likes driving around in a hot, stuffy car, and a car with an AC system which only works marginally is somehow almost even worse than one which doesn't work at all. Let's go through a few tips which can help you keep your ride a little more comfortable this summer…
Remember a cars AC system is really a heat exchanger which moves hot air out of your vehicle, then replaces it with cold air. One thing you can do to help improve its efficiency is to leave your windows down an inch or two (if possible) when you park the car, helping to prevent excess heat buildup. When you start the car and begin to drive off, lower all the windows for the first minute or two to help move hot air out of the car more quickly, giving the AC system a chanc ...[more]

Toro Y Moi & Red Bull Music Academy Host Album Listening Event in LA, Now thru 12/16
Toro Y Moi and Red Bull Music Academy previously announced special album listening events in Brooklyn, NY and San Francisco, CA. Now, fans in Los Angeles will be able to experience the same unique experience from today, December 14-16 at HVW8.
At these events, fans have the opportunity to hear Toro Y Moi's upcoming third album, Anything In Return, months in advance of release. All the events feature 13 original drawings from Chaz Bundick on display, each paired with a corresponding song from the album that fans can listen to via Incase headphones. "I just wanted to do something fun for this album release," says Bundick.
The event in San Francisco will be taking place this weekend at Public Works. All gallery events are free and 21+.
The product of a move from South Carolina to Berkeley, CA and the subsequent extended separation from loved ones, Toro Y Moi's third full-length, Anything in Return, puts Chaz Bundick right in the middle of the producer/songwriter dichotomy that his first two albums established. There's a pervasive sense of peace with his tendency to dabble in both sides of the modern music-making spectrum, and he sounds comfortable engaging in intuitive pop production and putting forth the impression of unmediated id. The producer's hand is prominent- not least in the sampled "yeah"s and "uh"s that give the album a hip-hop-indebted confidence- and many of the songs feature the 4/4 beats and deftly employed effects usually associated with house music. Tracks like "High Living" and "Day One" show a considerably Californian influence, their languid funk redolent of a West Coast temperament, and elsewhere- not least on lead single, "So Many Details"- the record plays with darker atmospheres than we're used to hearing from Toro Y Moi. Sounding quite assured in what some may call this songwriter's return to producer-hood, Anything in Return is Bundick uninhibited by issues of genre, an album that feels like the artist's essence.
Born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina, Chaz Bundick has been toying with various musical projects since early adolescence. Having spent his formative years playing in punk and indie rock acts, his protean Toro Y Moi project has been his vessel for further musical exploration since 2001. During his time spent studying graphic design at the University of South Carolina, Chaz became increasingly focused on his solo work, incorporating electronics and allowing a wider range of influences- French house, BrIan Wilson's pop, 80s R&B, and Stones Throw hip-hop- to show up in his music. By the time he graduated in spring 2009, Chaz had refined his sound to something all his own. Music journals across the board touted his hazy recordings as the sound of the summer, and he released his debut album, Causers of This in early 2010.
Since then, Bundick has proven himself to be not just a prolific musician, but a diverse one as well, letting each successive release broaden the scope of the Toro Y Moi oeuvre. The funky psych-pop of 2011's Underneath the Pine evinced an artist who could create similar atmospheres even without the aid of source material and drum machines. His Freaking Out EP, a handful of singles and remixes, and a retrospective box-set plot points all along the producer/songwriter spectrum in which he's worked since his debut, and Anything In Return is another exciting offering that shows he's still not ready to settle into any one genre.

Speaking of wasting time, this entire competition is a huge waste of time.
This statement alone would really royally tick off the rejectors on this site. The statement seems "unsportsmanlike conduct" coming from you.
One question for you: If you think it is a waste of time, then why are you submitting designs at Woot? And two, why submit a shirt that is off topic and also going against the rules. The rules clearly stated, as others have said, that there are "No text only designs". Sometimes, I wished people would read the rules of the derby BEFORE submitting anything..... But that is just me.
Re: Clown Cleanup
Disturbing but fitting. So it definitely gets my vote
Re: Player 3 Press Start
I don't see the meaning being very clear without knowing the name of the derby. Without knowing that, it looks like it is complaining about games not supporting more than 2 players. Kind of a jab at older games for not being an MMO game. Sort of "Aren't you glad we've moved past THIS crap!". I know that isn't the intention, but without the topic, that becomes a bit muddied.
Divine and hilarious! +1

Make your design as large as possible, then have a small t-shirt with the design on it somewhere that it doesn't block your design. Look at other entries for ideas, especially the top vote-getters.
I love the pattern on the snake!

Interesting idea, but if the crosswalk was a different color, I think it would be better. It kind of.. blends in as how it is right now.

My wife (an illustrator and a Zelda fan) says you could work on your story telling. Navi is always shouting "HEY" so you could add that in, making it clear that Navi is interrupting them. It's also a little unclear what Zelda is thinking. Is she blushing because Navi just showed up, or because Link presented her with flowers?

Thanks, treehug.
I guess I'm confused because the submission form required uploading 2 images, one of just the design, and another on a t-shirt, for which I used the downloaded form. I was unaware that I could submit the t-shirt picture in any form other than the one provided and was wondering what magic made everyone else's appear differently.
So you configure the t-shirt picture any way you want, just so long as you show it on the shirt?
I think it's hysterical. I'd vote for it if I could.
Is this an Adventure Time reference? Because those characters look pretty close to Adventure Time...
lete wrote:A little far fetched. We all know Luigi's got the hots for Princess Daisy.
That's what they want you to think.
I have a PhD in particle physics and I have trouble. I do get it but there are factual mistakes. What I think you mean are stable color connections as in baryon vs. mesons. Unfortunately you show three particles of the same color, each accompanied by two smaller ones which I assume are electrons. This combination makes no sense. Either you speak of atoms, then there is no 'rule of three' or you refer to hadrons which are "colorless". There are two (known) ways to achieve this: three quarks of different colors, or a quark of one color and an antiquark carrying the corresponding anticolor.
I guess this is what you mean and it could be an awesome shirt. But there are some detailes to be ironed out.

Thanks for the help! I do think I should work on my ability to illustrate a scene using only one frame... That's definitely one of my weak points. My intentions for Zelda's expression were actually just about what you said, not one or the other in specific. She's both flattered by and sorry for Link, who can't seem to escape Navi's constant advice I hope that came across, more or less!
I also considered writing out "HEY!" But I decided to just use exclamation lines because I felt one word would be out of place when the rest is graphic.
Re: Secret love
My son and I beat Mario Bros Wii as Luigi (the preferred brother in my dojo) and the question arose as to why Mario still gets the girl in the end even when his brother does all the work. Ultimately the answer was "life just isn't fair sometimes". It's nice to see Luigi get some love for once, even if it's on the side.
abugge wrote:I think it's hysterical. I'd vote for it if I could.
They tend to reject PG-13 shirts. I have seen similar stick figure shirt designs get rejected for farting.
And as someone pointed out with the Game of Chairs shirt, the theme of this shirt doesn't really exemplify "three's a crowd".
First t-shirt design ever! Woot!
Any comments are welcome because I really want to get better.
Thanks for looking!
leafredleaf wrote:Still trying to figure out how this is on topic. Are two of them going to share the throne? Right now it feels like king of the hill and not three's a crowd. I guess it has three people so it'll probably be okay.
I like the design, but I agree. Not really a "Three's A Crowd" scenario since only one can sit on the chair.
