Hey, what do you want compared to an MXL? A new WXL? A new ML?
Here is a new ML against an AA MXL:
And reversed:
AND here is AA MXL against Anvil WXL:

No problem guys! I'm pretty stoked that you're letting some of us test run them.
Now... if someone wants to send my husband thurmanite a men's XL, 2XL, 3XL (or really just 2-3X)- I could rock both sides of the review. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Wow--that looks like I can get women's sizes.
YAY, woot sent me some free shirts in the new woman's sizes. I received 2 grass green shirts -- how did you know that was my favorite color woot? I have a small and a medium, both woman's sizes.
I am 5'5" and used to be a WM in the old blanks. The old blanks fit very snugly on the shoulders after a wash and I was never a huge fan of that. I'm now pretty sure I'm a WS in the Anvil blanks. I still have to wash these new blanks and see what my drier does to them, but I'm very happy with the fit.
Click to get this image all big! =D
Here's a side by side for the woman's shirts. I can already say I like the collar more than the old blanks. It's not shown in these photos but it's not be as tight around the neck.
I have moved down a size from WM in AA to WS in the new Anvil blanks, but you can compare the Anvil WM to the AA and I think I could also wear that size if I wanted a less snug fit.
Also even though I'm losing more length going from WM to the new WS it doesn't look that short in the photos... but I may need to wash the new shirts to see the real difference there.
These reviews do wonders for my size questions, thanks so much! Though I am pouting a bit that there was no surprise in my mailbox Just kidding of course, it's awesome of woot to send samples to the active forum members so they could review them, kudos!

Green is cool, also thank you for the side by side shots - it really demonstrates things well!
Barbara was super-awesome and sent me some new blanks as well. Since I qualify as a "beanpole" lady, I will show you how they fit with my terrible, terrible photobooth photos. This is because I couldn't get my significant other away from Skyrim long enough to take pictures of me with my good camera.
These pictures should give you a good idea of how the new WS and the K10 fit on a skinny woman. They will also give you an idea of how cluttered my studio is.
Here is an old WS on top of the new one.
The new WS is longer at the bottom, as you'll see. *it doesn't look like it is in this photo* The inseams are wider and the sleeves are longer, but the shoulders are about the same size as the old one.
Here is me wearing the old WS.
I like it because it makes me feel like a lady. I am a lady so that makes sense to me. The only problems I have with AA are that the waist is a little too tight and sometimes the armpits bunch up. I like the fit in general so those issues don't stop me from wearing the shirts.
Here is the new WS.
I don't like it...nope. To echo Boots' earlier statements: "boo!". It's just too big. The sleeves stick out too much for me. The only positive is that one could easily sew up the inseam to make it smaller since the shoulders are the same as the old WS. You still have the bell-shaped sleeves after that though. Oh yea and it's very long...which is the least of the problems for me. Also, I don't want to buy a sewing machine just for my woot shirts.
*edit: I forgot to add that my bewbs are invisible in this shirt. They are like newborn sweater-calves *
Here is the K10. I didn't do a flat comparison with the old WS and this size, but I'll post one if anyone would like to see.
This seems to fit around the torso a little more like the old WS, but the sleeves are frickin' huge! I'd have to shorten the sleeves and take in the inseam a bit before I'd wear this out.
To summarize my shirt testing: The fabric is comparable to the AA shirts. It's not the chunky, stiff shirt that I first expected.
I'd like a women's XS. I dooooo NOT like the fit of the new WS. My mom will probably like the new fit as she is my size, but 60 years old and does not wear skinny jeans. I'd like to note also that I am not a hipster, I just like skinny jeans O.O
If you'd like to see more and/or better pictures I'd be happy to post some.
very helpful, Ocho. Thank you for posting the photos.

So the sleeves ARE just odd - on smaller and larger women, the sleeves are weird.
Your pics make me wonder if a MXS or WXS would be an appropriate fix for ladies with your build. Do you think the hip flare would be flattering if the shirt actually fit you? Or do you prefer the straight lines, and let your curves fill the shirt out?

The sleeves are the most bothersome part of the fit. I'd really prefer them shorter.
I wouldn't mind a slight hip flare if it wasn't too much. AA shirts could have used a little flare out at the bottom.
However, I would rather have the straight lines and have it be a tiny bit too tight if it means I get a shirt that flatters the rest of me.
Thank you guys so much for the pics and reviews! And thanks to woot for sending out some samples!
I had just figured out what size fit best in the old style and now I have to start over. *sigh* I think I might like that the new lengths are a bit shorter, but am concerned about the shirt looking too wide.
gittygrrl wrote: I have rather thin arms and the arms on the new shirt looks quite a bit bigger than the old ones in the side-by-side comparison picture.
I also have thin arms and one of my biggest short sleeve shirt dilemmas is finding sleeves that aren't unflatteringly big around my arms.
I wish Woot would've added a size or two larger in the women's sizes and stayed with the old fit and cut. Just my opinion.
Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised by the new blanks.
Thank you everyone who submitted pics for comparisons. Unfortunately it looks like Ochopika's pics may confirm my arm-hole being too large issue.
I was thinking that I'd have to go for a WM in the new sizes, but with the WS looking so long now I don't know. So scratch what I said earlier about the lengths ...
Pardon my long ramblings, I was commenting as I read through. I guess I'll just have to order one and see how it goes from there.
**editing to add: Just ran off to the reckoning and ordered Nevermore (even though I've heard about the fading issues, but I really wanted one.) I was waiting until it went to the danger zone but it looks like it's still in the old sizes according to the size chart so fingers crossed I'll get the old.
Here are my photos to add to the mix. I got a new women's small and a new Kids 10 (thanks, Woot!). I'm 5'2" and about 100 lbs. Both shirts were unwearable for me, but the material was really nice! If you're worried about them being thick or stiff or scratchy, don't! The fabric's nice and soft.
The new women's small: It's huge and really unflattering. It's like a bag across the chest and waist and it flares out at the bottom like a tent. I imagine it's really nice if you have a chest and hips to fill it out, but I don't.
The K-10: It's not an option. It's narrower than the new WS, but it's too short to wear and the sleeves are really long.
Here are the photos (the AA has been washed and new ones haven't yet):
Bonus image! I had my 6'5" boyfriend and my D-cup friend try on the new women's small as well. My boyfriend said that if the sleeves and length were an inch longer, it'd fit him better than any shirt he's ever owned. My friend had the tenting at the bottom problem too and wouldn't wear the WS (even though she's an AA medium-large).
So... these kind of fit so poorly that I wont buy any Woot shirts for myself anymore. Even if I really love a design. Boo.
BootsBoots wrote:Boots' pics of new shirts
we're about the same size. (you got me beat by 1/2"!!) Thanks for posting the pics. I really think a men's XS would be perfect. They were my favorite size when threadless had them for a little while.
Wow. I just added up how many woot shirts i've bought. The first one was nov 2007 the last one yesterday. In total I have bought 97 shirts!!! did not realize I'd bought that many. That's a lot of money. These new shirt blanks look to be a blessing in disguise!!
Thanks ochopika and BootsBoots for posting your photos and reviews. They were very helpful to me.
Unfortunately, they confirmed my suspicion that the Anvil tees are not going to fit me as well as the AA tees did. Alas.
So, Shirt.Woot, I reiterate my question from page 5:

BOOO indeed! Petite girls wearing over sized shirts makes me sad. Very unflattering indeed. The new shirts get 5 out of 5.
LOL, I found an unwashed AA shirt so here's some more comparisons shots laid flat.
Click for bigger image.
Here they are overlayed on each other for a closer comparison.
And for the curious here's the strange way that the old WM AA blanks would shrink. They seem to get shorter and wider except in the shoulders width which shrank by about an inch...
I'll wear the new blanks and wash them to see what happens. I hope these help.
thanks so much to all the ladies who've posted their pics and reviews of the new blanks. i'm still not sure what size to change to, since i'm not the same size as any of the women who've posted so far. guess i'll do what a lot of others seem to be planning, and just buy one size down from what i wore previously, and see if it fits. if not, i'll adjust from there.
thanks to woot for sending blanks to the constant-posters, so they can let the rest of us know an honest opinion.
BootsBoots wrote:Boot's pics
I usually wear a men's medium in AA for a loose, comfortable fit. Women's AA sizes are too fitted, I just don't find them comfortable. Now I'm even more confused which size to buy in the new shirts. Are they going to be too big? I don't know. :/
The T-shirt I want to buy still has a link to the old sizing chart... is that accurate or will all women's shirts now be made in the new size guideline?
What I posted elsewhere
Rather the repeat. I feel for those who liked the AA sizes.
slbecknc wrote:The T-shirt I want to buy still has a link to the old sizing chart... is that accurate or will all women's shirts now be made in the new size guideline?
should be. I went ahead and bought the shirt in the reckoning I wanted before it sells out and moves the the new blanks.
Thank you very much ochopika and BootsBoots for the pictures. Since I'm a beanpole as well it was very helpful to see comparisons of the new and old shirts. Looks like the new WS won't work on me at all either and will just end up looking weird. We really just need a few extra sizes now to cover the new gaps (or old ones). An XS seems to be necessary as well as a few larger sizes (from what I've read).
On a side note, I am very happy for the women who can fit into these new shirts. I'm sure many of you are excited and that's pretty awesome. :D

It looks like the washed one got shorter, and wider?
**Re-posted again from the Test Blanks + Anvil Announcement threads**
Was genuinely surprised to find a package of blanks when I got home this evening, as Woot typically never really likes what I have to say. ;) Regardless, here's my brutally honest assessment, for the rest of the "fey little fancy-boy" demographic.
I wore a K12 in the old AA sizes, which offered the fitted (but not tight) look that I prefer for my tees. I've got small shoulders and arms for a guy (check out my 7.5" pythons!!) so the width was great, and the length hit right around waistband level. My one gripe was that the sleeves were a little short and looked a bit effeminate.
I received 3 blanks in the new Anvil sizes, WM, WS, and K12. (Probably because I typically order shirts for both myself, and for my sister.) For Potty Emergency! and giggles, I tried the ladies' tees on. Predictably, they were too big. Although the straight cut of the AA shirts meant I could get away with the old WS or WM (despite the short sleeves again!) the 'curvy' cut of the Anvil ones make them an absolute no-go. Severely limits my tee-trade options, but what can you do.
Sister is a tiny slip of a thing (im guessing about about 5'3" and 105 lbs?), but likes her shirts roomy, and so ultimately preferred the AA WM cut. She'd probably be insulted by a kids' size, so if I were to surprise her with another Woot shirt as a gift, I'd probably go with the WS.
On to the K12. I was pleasantly surprised, out of the package, that the fabric felt softer than expected - pretty comparable to the AAs. Not sure how it will take to a couple of washes; I live in a tiny NYC apt, so things are usually sink-washed and rack-dried, rather than burning money in a laundromat. This also means 'shrinking' the shirt isn't really an option; shame that, because the K12 felt considerably larger/longer than the AA. However, the sleeves are a good couple of inches longer, which is a big plus in Anvil's favour.
Thank you Woot, for the blanks, though I sadly still don't know which size I wear! I'm guessing that those of us who used to order the K12s will probably fall somewhere in the K8 or K10 range.
I've gotten selective about designs over the years, so I guess I'll be waiting for a real must-have (something along the lines of a TruffleShuffle monster, some quirky VonMonkey goodness, an Edgar masterpiece, or another Katie Kaboomin' RGlee/Kasey mashup, hint, hint) before I bite the bullet and try my luck with the new kids' sizes.
Thank you, Boots and Ochopika. Now I don't have to waste my money on a terrible shirt that won't fit me in a million years. I'd look like a 12 year old in a potato sack. Pardon me, but you both looked awful! This is a truly sad day in Shirt Woot history. To be completely frank, I think it's crap that the women who previously wore the WS weren't considered at all when this decision was made. It was obvious to all involved that everyone would be going down a size, yet we did not get offered a size to go down to. It's rubbish!
Boots and ocho, thank you for posting your impressions!
Dear Woot Overlords/Overladies,
Will one of the expansions allowed by the new changes be a broader range of sizing options?
In particular, the WXS and tall sizes are getting an awful lot of requests. If that's in the works, announcing it would probably ease some of the current gnashing of teeth.
(You could even highlight, for those who don't put it together themselves, that specialty sizes and more options have lower profit margins, which is why you don't offer everything in every size variation forever, and that offering Talls simply wasn't fiscally possible before.)
I'm sending out a BIG "Thank You" to all of the ladies who have posted photos of the new/old shirts. They are very helpful!!
I agree that in the photos the new small is simply too large :-) I'm so sorry that Ocho and Boots (and others) can no longer find a shirt that is small enough for them to feel comfortable and feminine. So, shirt.woot decision makers, please find a way to increase your size offerings for smaller and larger Wooters. (I noticed that Tanga announced today that their shirt site, LOLShirts, is now offering 4X and 5X sizes.)
I typically don't purchase in "lady sizes". Those little flaps for sleeves are a joke (seriously, WHY can't we have real sleeves???) and I really don't care for the the shirt to cling to my body. All most ladies (the ones with whom I associate, anyway) and I really want is for the shirt to account for our chest size. That's all. A little extra fabric up top so we don't stretch out the design. Simple as that. Leaving our sleeves intact, thank you.
This isn't to say, "Nix the babydoll T!" seeing as so many like it, but many of us would like a...fuller option. Not to be confused with "plus size". And that isn't to say ThinkGeek's "classic women's cut" is any better, seeing as that fit doesn't sit right, either. You lift up your arms and your entire belly is exposed. After close examination, I can blame the sleeves in this case, too.
DianaSprinkle wrote:LOL, I found an unwashed AA shirt so here's some more comparisons shots laid flat.
Click for bigger image.
Woah, the new WS is bigger than the old WM! What a huge difference.
Okay, I ran the Anvil blanks through the laundry. With: Cold water, Fabric softener, Medium heat at "optimal" setting. On my machine, it's the shortest, lowest heat setting that gets everything dry.
Now that the manufacturing starch is out of the fabric, I did a "pet" test. As in, I set the new blanks next to the AA tees and petted them. Both are soft. The AA is marginally softer than the Anvil, but not by much.
The seams on the Anvil WXL blank did not twist in the wash/dry. They stayed where they should be.
But wow did we lose some length.
So, here's what a comparison of AA WXL on AA ML shirts - washed many times on the Anvil WXL - never washed:
Now, we have the same shirts, AAWXL, AAML, ANVWXL - same order all washed and dried:
As you can see, we lost a significant amount of length (I'm now sorry I didn't break out the measuring tape earlier.). Not enough to make it a deal break on even my long torso - but if you are very tall, it could prove problematic.
And here's the comparison of AAML - washed Vs. ANVML unwashed:
And now the same shirts after a wash:
Again, we see a significant loss of length. But on this particular size, we can now see the width lost on the ANVML:
So - as far as the men's sizes, your sleeves will be a bit longer, but you can stay the same size - if you can afford to lose 1/4-1/2" of length when all is said and done.
Ladies - From my experience, our shirts lose more length in the wash. My Anvil WXL blank is now shorter than my AA ML. I don't see this being an issue for me in particular, due to the new cut. But keep it in mind.
Oh, here's the AAWXL on ANVWXL - both washed:
I'll wear my 2 blanks this week and let you know what I run into.

I would say that if you are happy with the AA ML now, you should be good with the same size in Anvil. You may lose 1/4-1/2" in length and have longer sleeves - but the cut and sizing on men's shirts is staying pretty close to what it is now.
This thread (and the other two "new shirt" threads) is priceless! Thank you all so, so, so much for your honest and helpful reviews. I think I'm still going to need to try out a few different sizes to figure out which one will work for me, but it's great to have a starting place to work from.
I have to admit I'm pretty excited to try the new women's sizes. Up until now even the WXL was WAAAAYYY too small to fit my, um, curvaceous awesomeness. In fact, I have never before found a "women's style" shirt that felt as comfortable on my body as men's or unisex so I won't be holding my breath. That said, the new shirts do look like they might be proportioned right for me. I'm looking forward to the shorter cut, because my torso is kinda more squat than elongated so shirts that fall at my actual waist (rather than hip) are great for me. I'm also someone who appreciates a little length on my sleeves (to get past the chunky upper arm bits) so while I know a lot of ladies are sad about how big the new sleeves are, I'm glad to see these aren't the typical cut-off "cap" sleeves.
I'm probably going to wait until there's a design that really catches my eye to try the women's sizes, but I'll try to post my own review once I have a new shirt in hand.

My question was about women's sizes. I would like to switch to a women's shirt and was hoping Anvil would be better than AA in ladies sizes. My question was, I've been wearing AA men's medium comfortably, what is the equivalent women's size in Anvil, not the men's size. I already know the men's sizes are fairly comparable other than length. It would be nice to wear a shirt made for a woman instead of a man or teenage girl.
Yikes, I haven't been on woot for a while and hastily ordered Aquired taste when it was in danger zone last time and ordered one size above my usual size which was WL, which means I will now get a t-shirt in the new WXL... This should be interesting... Lol!
So XS is the new L?
(this is more confusing then H&M, although I am happy that the sizes went up, not down like the rest of the world)
Ooooh, seeing date of this post, makes me hope that I ordered before provider was changed, but we'll see, in worst case it might be a good present or pillow) ;)
I used to think I was the only one frustrated, trying to dress a 6'1"/hourglassy frame, but the more women I talk to, the more I realize that almost no one has consistent success shopping off-the-rack. "Too tall", "too short," "too big," "too small," one area of the body the "wrong" size in proportion to the rest - it's constant frustration and can really leave you feeling bad about yourself.
I've been doing all right in WL/WXL, and I just tried MM and liked it pretty well. I'm excited to try the new WL and see if it's a better fit for me. At the same time, I feel bad that my gain is currently the petite ladies' loss, as there is currently not an option for the smallest-framed women.
I hope that this is just the "growing pains" stage and that woot is able to work out the kinks and come up with sizing options that get everybody back in fun new t-shirts again soon!
The pics I'm seeing are very disheartening. Although I have curves, I don't like t-shirts that have a longer sleeve with tent-like fit in the midsection, and that's what I'm seeing in the pics.
It's going to take an amazing shirt to get me to place another order for myself.
Thanks for the pics, ladies. I'm going to have to let out a big sigh of disappointment, as I fall into the "beanpole" category and loved the fit of the old WM. It looks like a new WS will be a tent on me though.
I'm very happy for all the ladies who can wear women's sizes now. Just very sad that I won't be able to wear any size and have it be flattering.

You might want to check the firing pin channel for any gunk or burrs. Instructions on how to do it over on KTOG forum.
Just picked up a new PF9 today and put about 35 rounds through it at the range. Like the size, weight and features but had a few light primer strikes on Remington FMJ 115gr ammo. Second run through they fired. Not sure what to make of it. Speer HP's no primer problems in the small sample I used. Dimples plain as day just no bang on 3 Remington's. Same ammo in my HK P2000 produced no problems. Feeding and ejecting was 100%. Ergo's are decent as is pointability. Pushing the envelope for pocket sized carry for me anyway but it works given the weight and appropriate shape. Flat and nicely beveled on the aft end for an anti snag draw. Size tends to be between a P3AT and a Walther PPS. Trigger is long and final stage stacks pretty heavy. Shot at 25 yards I only got about 6 shots on target. One nice bulls eye. Wish I new how I did it. Bad trigger control on my part that will take some work. The inherant accuracy is probably there but 25 yards was pushing it for that kind of trigger in my hands anyway. Next outing will be at 15 feet and under to see if I can do any better. I heard it said this is not a fun range gun and while no blood was drawn I now undertand that comment. Recoil is stout and a less than smooth back strap seams do dig a little. A handall or possibly some padded grip tape might help.
Overall I like it for what it is. A no nonsense pocket sized defense tool more likely to be on hand than not when and if needed. My hope with some more range time on it is that I can muster some proficiency at closer defensive distances. I also need to figure out this light primer issue. If anyone has encountered this issue with a Kel-Tec or other brand I'd appreciate any feed back on how you solved it and what it might be.

Thank you. I will do that.

|i have heard of this with the food you using. i would try a different food. if that doesn't work, time to see the vet.
My 1yr old dog eating habits
My gsd/rottie mix just turned a year old on the 6th and her eating habits are kind of scaring me. At first I fed her twice a day at 8am and 8pm. This was when I lived with a roommate that had three other dogs. Ever since I moved into my own apartment with my girlfriend she hasn't eaten nearly as much as she used to. The bag says 2 1/4 to 3 cups of food a day for her weight size. I feed her Blue Buffalo Life Protection fish recipe. She will only eat once a day (at night) usually once I get back from work at 6pm now. I tried feeding her in the morning but she won't even look at her food. She will only eat about half her food most days and her stomach is getting kind of scary. I have tried mixing things with it like peanut butter and rice and yogurt to see if her stomach is upset, but that doesn't usually work. I am feeding her every day at the same time and nothing has changed. I'm worried that she may just not get excited about eating since there are no other dogs around her. Please advise I really want her eating again. If you have any tips and tricks to remedy this possible "picky eater"...Please let me know.

Salamouallaykom brother,
I randomly saw your post.
I wanted to response as a Doctor but not specialized in Neonatology.
At first, My congratulations for your new born Baby..God bless her inchallah.
For your question, you speak here about packed cell volume (PCV)or Hematocrit (HTC) which is the fraction of whole blood volume that consists of red blood cells.
The packed cell volume (PCV) is an essential index to evaluate distressed newborn babies and often allows an early diagnosis of an hyperviscosity syndrome to be made.
So, here I can only advice you to consult as soon a pediatrician neonatologist for a suitable and right conduct Diagnosis through a good check up with analysis of the whole initial Blood test result and a realization for other Blood tests if it's needed ..
Thus a prompt Doctor's consultation is prefered for the well being of your dear Baby.
I would have the pleasure to hear from you brother , as soon incha'allah, good news about your nice dear Baby whose birthday seems to enlighten our forum ET.
May Allah keeps her for you Hany and protects her from any Evil.
My prayers for her.

"These labels are great to use instead of birthday cards. When our kids go to a party, we place this label on the gift and write in the birthday boy or girls name. The parents appreciate it because they don't have to deal with a card they're only going to throw away. And you will save a ton of money on birthday cards!"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"
"I love these and I love that you can create cute cupcake decorations by placing these on top. What a great way to decorate birthday cupcakes at a reasonable price!"
"The address labels are very nice!!! It was extremely easy to customize. I also ordered the matching invites in addition to the address labels (check out my reviews on those items). Lastly, I was due to receive my order on 3/15 but received it ALL on 3/7. Yay!!! You won't be disappointed if you go decide to order these gift tags. FYI, I needed to purchase a few more sheets of gift tags and customer service was so very accommodating and were able to add to my order since it had not gone to print. Super nice reps!!!"
"These are super cute. We are using them to stick on little treat bags for our daughter's birthday treats for her preschool class.. We had then printed to read Lily's 2nd Birthday! They are great!"

Special Use Considerations
For best shade potential
Select round or v-shaped species. Plant on the west, southeast or southwest. For more information, order our free Conservation Trees booklet.
To Plant for Wildlife
Choose trees that provide food and shelter, such as fruit and nut trees and evergreens. For more information, order your copy of our Conservation Trees booklet.
For Riparian Buffers
Select trees that are tolerant of wet soil. Flooding and its Effect on Trees, published by the USDA Forest Service, rates the following among the flood tolerant: Ash, Baldcypress, Elm, Hickory, Honeylocust, Littleleaf Linden, Red Maple, Silver Maple, Bur Oak, Pin Oak, Water Oak, Willow Oak, Pecan, Redbud, Sweetgum, Sycamore, and Willow. For more information, order the free Conservation Trees booklet.
For Windbreaks
Select evergreens. Two or more rows of trees are best if space allows, but even a single row will have an effect. Plant the rows perpendicular to prevailing winter winds. Trees should be spaced closely, 8' to 12' on center, and 12' between rows. When planting two or more rows, stagger the trees for maximum effect. For more information order the free Conservation Trees booklet.
For Street Trees
Consult your community's recommended tree list through your city forester or parks and recreation department. Generally, if your treelawn is 4-6 feet wide, plant a small-sized tree. If the treelawn is 6-8 feet wide, you can plant a medium-sized tree. If the treelawn is 8 feet or wider, you can plant a large tree. If your treelawn is less than 4 feet wide, it probably has insufficient space to grow a tree.

BMW 328i Recall 13V044000
The Battery Cable Connection at the Fuse Block May Break
Vehicle electrical power may be lost due to a faulty battery cable connection.
BMW will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning March, 2013. Various electrical concerns could develop or there could be no symptoms related to this recall. If don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It's helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) when you call.
The vehicle battery is connected to the fuse box via a heavy duty cable. It has been determined that the cable connection at the fuse box can degrade over time, resulting in increased electrical resistance. This increased resistance can cause the connection point to overheat and break, resulting in a loss of electrical power and causing the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the positive battery cable connector and secure it with an improved method to correct this concern.
February 7, 2013
BMW is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 1-Series coupes and convertibles manufactured December 2007 through July 2011; and 2007-2011 3-Series coupes and convertibles manufactured March 2007 through July 2011; 2007-2011 3-Series sedans manufactured March 2007 through October 2011; 2007-2011 3-Series sports wagons manufactured March 2007 through June 2011; and 2009-2011 Z4 vehicles manufactured March 2009 through June 2011. The connector for the positive battery cable connector and the corresponding terminal on the fuse box may degrade over time. Over time, the high current flow and heat from electrical resistance may lead to a breakage of the connection, and a loss of electrical power to the vehicle.
If there is a loss of electrical power to the vehicle, the vehicle may unexpectedly stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the positive battery cable connector and secure it with an improved method, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in March 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at email@example.com.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov

Media Uncritically Repeat Perry's Unrealistic Job Numbers
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
Citing a study commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute, the largest oil and gas industry trade group, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry claimed he could create over a million jobs by expanding domestic fossil fuel production. That estimate is based on highly dubious assumptions, but several news outlets have uncritically repeated it.
Michael Levi, an energy expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, did what so many news media outlets have proven unable or unwilling to do, and actually scrutinized API's numbers. He concluded that they are "unrealistic":
The numbers that Perry and Romney are offering for job creation in the energy sector are unrealistic. They assume that they will be reversing deeply anti-industry Obama policies that don't actually exist (which is not to say that the Obama policies have no flaws), ignore real constraints at the state level, and don't fully account for market dynamics. Five hundred thousand is a reasonable upper limit for the number of jobs that a new policy might create by 2030, of which 130,000 or so might actually be in oil and gas. Taking into account market dynamics could lower those numbers further.
The Washington Post also recently reported that that "only a third of the 1.4 million positions created would go to people working directly for the petroleum industry." API's job creation estimate includes "a seldom-used category known as 'induced jobs' that API says covers everything from valets to day-care providers, from librarians to rocket scientists," according to the Post. The article added that energy economist Philip Verleger said "The API is the best there is at lying with statistics."
Yet according to a Nexis search, several news outlets simply repeated Rick Perry's claim that his energy plan could produce more than one million jobs.
The Boston Globe, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters and NBC's Today repeated Perry's claim without noting the unrealistic assumptions behind it, or that it came from an industry-funded study. And The Christian Science Monitor repeated Perry's claims and then actually suggested that they are correct, relying heavily on conservative economist Peter Morici:
Is Perry right that energy is a ripe field for job creation?
Not all economists would put domestic energy production among their top five priorities for job growth. But many do see significant potential in this field, as the Perry campaign does.
For example, economist Peter Morici at the University of Maryland, in a recent analysis of the nation's employment crisis, wrote that "shutting down US oil and gas development is costing the US economy millions of jobs."
His view: An emphasis on domestic production could create jobs by dramatically reducing America's trade deficit, thus recycling more consumer dollars in the domestic economy. Promotion of energy production would also spill over into job creation in other industries, Mr. Morici says, as a need for refineries and pipelines boosts demand for construction workers, steel, and heavy machinery.
In eight segments or news briefs the day of his speech, CNN uncritically repeated Perry's claim. Fox News' Special Report and Fox News Sunday did the same, and Eric Bolling said on The Five that "if [Perry] opens up drilling," he could "easily produce a million jobs."
Update (10/18/11): Levi has written further analysis after finding that Perry is relying on additional sources. After digging into the assumptions Perry would have to make in order to come up with 1.2 million jobs, Levi concludes that this jobs number looks even "less realistic."

Tuesday 25th October 2011
My journey home on Sunday evening was graced with a huge amount of satisfaction after picking up our third victory in a week against another team many outsiders thought we would struggle to beat given their style and personnel.
Having dominated possession and looked to win the match for pretty much the whole 90 minutes I couldn't see how anybody would suggest anything other than a victory was thoroughly deserved.
Stoke defended well and in numbers admittedly but until we re-took the lead they had done nothing but leave all 11 players in positions to try and prevent us from winning. Even though I understand why a total attacking away performance could be foolish, for me, a team that shows little or no ambition to try and take all three points deserves to go away with exactly what Sunday's visitors did. Absolutely nothing.
Even when breaking down the massive defensive wall in front of us looked more and more difficult, we kept our shape and patience extremely well. In both halves this paid huge dividends.
Gerv came out of the game with a fine opening goal and two excellent assists for RVP later in the match. I felt Songy got better and better as the game went on, revelling in his role as captain on the day and Kozz and Per at the back are looking stronger and stronger every game.
Overall I thought it was a good all-round team performance to top off our best week for some time.
The game-by-game change of competition continues tonight as what I'm sure will be a largely different line-up takes on Bolton in the Carling Cup.
Once again I am thoroughly looking forward to it.
Come on you Gooners.

Well Green Mountain Is listing an "AK" barrel blank now. Just though I would let you you know. Gunsmith Edition 20" AK Barrel Blank
I just ordered one. I really wish it was not profiled. I rather be able to keep it heavy for a target build. wish they would also sell one unchambered.
I will stick it on a AMD 65 kit and see how it works. the price is right I see its cut rifleing.
Im sure for $30 it will be top quality LOL. I may rechamber it using my reamer see what I get first.
I'm having a hard time understanding why they're so cheap.
I guess I'll pull the trigger then. Worst comes to worst it's only 35 bucks.
I can't say I'm enthused that it's 20 inches, but beggars can't be choosers.
You'll have to machine the barrel anyway. Its not machined for size externally.
Barrel Making - The Art and Science
Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: The Making of a Rifle Barrel
Plus, if you can find it, Harold Hoffman's books show in great detail the equipment and processes used for rifle barrel making. The equipment overhead is large, and if you have a DIY rifle boring / rifling setup, the time is not inconsequential. Profiling - that's easy. As you said, a few minutes in a CNC lathe. But that's after you have a barrel that's bored straight and accurately, rifled, and straightened and stress-relieved.
Its says AK profile so Im not sure what that is going to be. I hope it is over size. Ill post when I get it. mine was $36 shipped. Im a little unsuure why there so cheap as well. I want to build a target set up but with a 311 bore so i can also shoot surplus ammo with out the pressure increase. 20" is fine with me it will add about 150 or more FPS. I wonder how long they will have them?? I almost called them today.Quote:

I bought one too. Wasnt planning on building another AK but this might change my plans. Never know what will come in the mail Still trying to figure out why they charged sales tax and what state its going to.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
yeah you dont need a women's board. Im 130 and 5'7" and i ride a 150 rome artifact.
a good all mountain board would be a rome agent but im partial to rome boards
and if youre looking for a long lasting board look into the k2 fastplant
its made with bamboo and extremely durable, it is more park oriented though
I weigh a little more than you and ride a 151. No need for a girls board IMO. I've rode a 153 no problem but it was a little stiff. Your weight is right in the middle of the NS SL 151 weight chart.
Never Summer Snowboard Size Chart - 2011 | evo
It's not that soft, so if you want more flex, maybe an EVO instead. Size 10 boots won't do so well on women boards, I don't think.
Another beginning board thread (looking at sales).
Hey everyone. I was two planking most of my life, but I switched to boarding this year. Long story short, love it way more than I ever did skiing, and will continue it.
So, I bought my friend's 2005 ride control (146) and 2006 ride LS bindings for $140. These have served me well for all five times I've gone on lifts this year (plus two on bunny hills). But, I love the sport, I feel myself getting much better everytime, and I would like to get my own gear, as there are now (and will be) tons of sales to come.
I weigh 135, and am 5'7". I have size 10 shoes. In addition, right now I'm using my friend's old lace Morrows, which he gave to me for free. They are size 11 though, so I could use with getting my own pair.
I've researched boards. I don't really want to do park, not yet anyway, so pure freeride/all mountain (assuming that means middle ground/balanced?) works best for me. Directional, or twin directional, so I can turn better. And softer flex/more damp I think?
In addition, I am a bit of a freak about my stuff. I don't like my goods breaking. I know to expect chips on the topsheet, otherwise it's not really snowboarding. But my research/background in knowing these things through science/common sense, leads me to believe these boards/brands will serve me the best, as far as durability/other requirements go.
Another point is, should I be looking at girl snowboards? I have a pretty small frame, so smaller boards/softer flex seem the way to go with me.
Never Summer SL (really like their designs).
Never Summer Lotus (this seems like the perfect board, barring it being a woman's board).
Arbor boards (still finding my specifics) (the ones with bamboo top sheet)
Ride Kink (reviews seem to say this one is particularly
Smokin Snowboards
Nitro boards
Rome boards
Sentry (really keen to try their free demo).
Any help is appreciated.

|I heard vinegar works too.I would think the amount of water needed to clean the molasses off would cause a flash rust problem. I prefer muritac acid. Its much quicker.
|Interesting to say the least!
Rust removal with molasses - it works!
I seen this procedure mentioned here and a few other places and thought what the hell I might as well give it a try. The molasses to water ratio on my test was 1-4 but 1-10 was suggested in one of the posts I had read. I have no idea if the stronger ratio works better or worse than the weaker ratio suggested. I had a $3 gallon of feed molasses setting in the shed left over from deer season so I dumped it in a five gallon bucket and added about 4 gallons of water. Then I set in some misc fasteners, brackets, etc. and let them set for a week. Yesterday I took a look and 100% of the rust was gone from the lightly rusted pieces and about 80% of the rust on the crusty pieces was gone. With another week of soaking I'm sure the severely rusted pieces will be clean.
Now some might say two weeks is a long time but in my opinion it's really no big deal considering how long some of these restoration type jobs can take. I see some really good applications for this procedure, just let the parts soak while you work on other areas of the job. There's really no work at all other than the initial setup. And no toxic fumes! And no hazardous waste from what I can see.
Maybe somebody with more molasses soaking experience will jump in and shed more light on the subject. Anyway, I thought it was interesting and thought I'd share. Try it, Bob

This morning's announcement by OneSpot – a company that helps marketers place their content in front of relevant buyers through display advertising – of series A financing to the tune of $5.3 million may pale next to recent multibillion IPOs and valuations, but it says a lot about a new space opening up: content distribution.
While OneSpot and Resonance HQ (which offers a similar service) drive content engagement through banner ads, native advertising or sponsored content puts branded content straight into digital publishers' editorial mix (often with "sponsored by" or "sponsor content" next to it). Vendors like Outbrain, Taboola, AdBlade, Sharethrough, LinkSmart, Nativo, Media Voice and AdsNative are vying for a $2 billion per year native advertising market that's growing by as much as 20% year on year.
Add to this the plays by Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter that allow marketers to purchase visibility for their content in certain users' timelines. For both Facebook and twitter, this is their only source of revenue for a growing proportion of mobile users, and it looks like Wall Street may be rewarding them for this mobile-driven success.

Steve Bould believes young Gunners looking to break into the Arsenal first team should look at the example Craig Eastmond has set this season.
The 19-year-old made his first-team debut in the Carling Cup last Autumn and has since made seven appearances for Arsène Wenger's side.
He has also been a regular on the bench this term, playing in his favoured central midfield role despite spending last season's FA Youth Cup-winning campaign at right-back.
The Wandsworth-born youngster recently admitted that even he was surprised when he got the first-team call in October and Bould believes Eastmond's season just goes to show what hard work and belief can bring when the talent is there.
"He has worked his absolute socks off," the Under-18s manager told Arsenal.com. "He is a great lad, everybody at the Academy loves him and he deserves everything he has got.
"He had always been at the back of the queue in terms of that group when he was younger, but it just shows that with a bit of hard work, dedication, belief and of course talent you have a chance.
"He has grabbed his chance with both hands and everybody is delighted for him.
"He is an example to everybody, including the group he came through with. There are still lots of them around the Club and they can look at Craig and say 'well if Craig can get there why can't I?'
"It is fabulous for the Academy to see our lads doing well and it is encouragement for everybody."
Bould - Eastmond an example to everyone

The French have a tradition in which a nation is invited to devote a six month period in which cultural aspects of their society are presented to the French public, a "country season" as it is commonly termed. The Turkish government in 2006 arranged with France to have 2008 be the year in which a "Turkish season" would display Turkish fashions, literary works, culinary expositions and many other facets of Turkish culture to the people of France. They have now been informed the season will never get going because Turkey has been bumped from the parade. The denial comes on the heels of President Sarkozy's efforts to block Turkish entry into the European Union. According to a Turkish diplomat, "We think the real reason behind France's request to postpone the Turkish season is the fact that it just comes ahead of Euro elections" to the European Parliament. Last year, the season featured Armenia, a nation with whom Turkey has poor relations.
It becomes increasingly evident that President Sarkozy is determined to block Turkey's entry into the European Union. This latest manifestation of hostility was bound to infuriate the Turkish government and people, particularly since Turkey was scheduled to present its culture the year after Armenia had the opportunity. It is a slap in the face that accomplishes little except to widen differences between a Muslim nation which attempts to serve as a bridge between the world and more fundamentalist groups in Arab nations. Sarkozy may feel pleased at his inept attempt at diplomacy, but Europe and the world will suffer.

Just joined and to the developers, great job! Lots of good info.
I bought a used 04 Wagon back in July from Huffines Subaru in Dallas. It had about 25K miles and you can tell it was kept imaculately. I've been wanting a WRX for about 2 years, so I finally bit the bullet. I wanted to buy used to save some money.
When I got to the lot and started it for my test drive I could not believe how great it sounded! Then upon further review, I could one mod after another already done! APS cold air, BOSCH electronics, COBB brakes, COBB suspension, COBB exhaust and honestly I have no idea what else. Why would someone get rid of this car?! Maybe they bought an STi or something.
Here is a link to pictures. If any of you know anything about this car, I would love to find out what all has been done with it. In the meantime, look forward to chatting back and forth.

The most common symptom of orthostatic hypotension is feeling lightheaded or dizzy when you stand up after sitting or lying down. This feeling, and other symptoms, usually happens shortly after standing up and generally lasts only a few seconds. Orthostatic hypotension signs and symptoms include:
Occasional dizziness or lightheadedness may be relatively minor — the result of mild dehydration, low blood sugar, or too much time in the sun or a hot tub, for example. Dizziness or lightheadedness may also happen when you stand after sitting for a long time, such as in a lecture, concert or church. If these symptoms happen only occasionally, it's usually not cause for concern.
It's important to see your doctor if you experience frequent symptoms of orthostatic hypotension because they sometimes can point to more-serious problems. It can be helpful to keep a record of your symptoms, when they occurred, how long they lasted and what you were doing at the time. If these occur at times that may endanger you or others, discuss this with your doctor.

Dude – UPDATE: Resolved last year

Think the anti-gun, zero-tolerance ninnies couldn't possibly push their insanity any further? Think again, n00b. There are wayward deaf pre-schoolers to punish:
Hunter Spanjer says his name with a certain special hand gesture, but at just three and a half years old, he may have to change it. "He's deaf, and his name sign, they say, is a violation of their weapons policy," explained Hunter's father, Brian Spanjer. Grand Island's "Weapons in Schools" Board Policy 8470 forbids "any instrument…that looks like a weapon," But a three year-old's hands? "Anybody that I have talked to thinks this is absolutely ridiculous. This is not threatening in any way," said Hunter's grandmother Janet Logue. "It's a symbol. It's an actual sign, a registered sign, through S.E.E.," Brian Spanjer said. S.E.E. stands for Signing Exact English, Hunter's sign language. Hunter's name gesture is modified with crossed-fingers to show it is uniquely his own. "We are working with the parents to come to the best solution we can for the child," said Jack Sheard, Grand Island Public Schools spokesperson. That's just about all GIPS officials will say for now. Meantime, Hunter's parents say that by Monday, lawyers from the National Association of the Deaf are likely to weigh in for Hunter's right to sign his own name. Despite whatever rules and regulations may exist, some Grand Islanders we spoke with said they don't think it's right to make a three year-old change the way he says his name. "It's his name. It's not like he's going to bring a gun to school when he's three years old," commented Dana Schwieger.
The district is working to devise a "solution" to the pressing crisis of how to make a deaf three-year-old's signed name look less like a gun. For the children, of course.
UPDATE – Crisis resolved.
UPDATE II – I see now that this story was from last year, pre-Newtown. Might the school district need to revisit young Hunter's violence-promoting sign language in light of new information?

It seems can not appear Chinese date and festivals.
ok i just downloaded the calendar in speeddail reloaded 2x and when i click on it insted of opening up to the calendar it opens up to:
as the song goes: What the !@#$@!#%#@$^%$&%^*???
either I am doing soming wrong or this ext is just a piece of garbage. I will attempto open it one more time.

It's a good extension, but it would be better if compatible with Google Agenda ^^
I'm using 50% zoom, the SP doesn't adjusta iself to the SP
Functionally it's a good idea! However (and I know this is your first extension! Bravo for experimenting and learning!), the lack of support for multiple zoom levels makes it hard to use. At tiny zoom levels you could show just the day, progressively up to a couple of days around the current one, up to the month. And at very large zoom levels it should either center itself or, even better, expand to fill the whole dial.
In terms of how it's displayed it would be really gorgeous if you used the speed dial name for the month and filled the dial to the edges with days instead of keeping them all contained in the little widget :)
Useful and simple. Would be even better if you could click on it and it went to the calendar website of your choice!
brilliantness. also, check spelling of "standard" and you don't have to restart to update, just press F5
Simple and nice. I would prefer start week on Monday.
Simple, elegant, and super useful, thanks!

so i hurried up with vinegar vaporizer "invention". i can't say how efficient it is but so far it looks like it is.
. good stuff.
Cindi,There is one aspect of this conversation that not even Finsky has addressed, maybe he can find a reference to it. How much of an impact does extreme cold weather conditions (such as one might find in Finland or Norway or Alaska) affect mite populations and reproduction?
Sugar shake is my preferred method of mite control. It doesn't contaminate the wax as checmicals might and it can be combined with water by the bees to produce a type of nector, hence honey stores that the bees can use.

Hey everyone, I'm Jack and I'm new here.
Now, before you raise your gauntlets to fry me, please know that I have lots of costume experience(but not with armor), and I've done my homework and read LOTS of the topics on your awesome forum. I have learned SO much! You're all absurdly talented, and frankly, I was nervous registering here after seeing what you're all capable of!
That said, I have some REALLY basic questions that I didn't see covered, and they're so simple you may laugh, or just ignore me, but I have to know what I'm getting into before I start. So, here goes:
1.) Glue: I'm using Sintra and just want to know what's the best thing to bond Sintra to itself for tight angles like on the gauntlets? I saw some people speak of Bondo on more than one occasion. Is it the consensus this is the best?
2.) Attachment: This is such a dumb question, but how are you attaching your armor to your jumpsuit? I know there are several ways one could do this, but what are the most common? And is everything simply secured so that it's all one costume, or do you put on the suit, then attach the armor before wearing?
and finally..
3.) Forming the Sintra: I know that Sintra is a very flexible material, and I now know that I can shape it even with something as simple as a hair dryer (but will probably get a heat gun anyway) but what I don't know is how you're getting the _shape_ of the chest and leg armor to make it hold. Are you, in fact, molding it to your _body_, while heating it? Again, I probably sound like an idiot, but you're talking to a guy that still has a big scar on his chest from a bodysuit/hot glue incident about 4 years ago.
Okay, that covers my big questions. Painting, reference materials, where to find Sintra, I have all that covered (thanks to your posts on this board), just need some help with those few basics I listed and I'm up and running. Thanks for humoring the newbie!

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Aceon6, Apr 25, 2011.
Didn't see a thread for tonite yet. Does anyone know the dances?
Dances this week, per Wikipedia:
Kirstie & Maks--Samba
Chris & Cheryl--Tango
Chelsea & Mark--Quickstep
Ralph & Karina--Paso Doble
Romeo & Chelsie--Waltz
Hines & Kym--Viennese Waltz
Kendra & Louis--Samba
Here is a link with some dance spoilers: http://robotceleb.com/news/221067-0...rs-spoilers-week-6-dwts-guilty-pleasures.html
Here is what I found:
Kirstie & Maks: samba
Chelsea & Mark: quickstep
Ralph & Karina: paso doble
Chris & Cheryl: tango
Romeo & Chelsie: waltz
Hines & Kim: Viennese Waltz
Kendra & Louis: samba
Maks and Kirstie dancing first this week.
That's not usually a good sign.
ETA: Hansen
They've grown up nicely. Except, I'd have thought they'd have come up with a new song by now.
I guess the new song would just be bad and not a "guilty pleasure".
There's no reason Dmitri shouldn't be dancing this number instead of this troupe.
Yay for guilty pleasure opening dance!
Kirstie has really lost some weight. She looks really good.
Love Kirstie's dress. She's never been afraid of her curves, and she looks just fine.
I love Kirstie's attitude, hard work and yes, she did lost weight.
Good for her!
Kirstie looks great and that rehearsal looked great, too. Fingers crossed for high scores, in case they hold back 'cuz she's going first.
Kirstie's foot placement, as pointed out the first week, is sensational. Loved it.
I love Kirstie and that was much better than I expected, but she didn't look like she was having a lot of fun with that dance.
Is there any chance that Bruno will stay in his seat for any critique tonight?
So, will that praise translate into 9s?
I hope this really builds her confidence so they just continue to do well each week.
No chance, he has an Italian temper, and therefore gets very emotional. It's not easy for him as it is for Len.
Um, this is the least tango sounding song I've ever seen someone do a tango to!
I think Chris looked uncomfortable in that Tango.
That, or he just can't get enough attention.
Chris really isn't all that musical. Cheryl can teach him the steps, but he misses all the in-betweens that make a dance easy to watch.
Chris looked awkward out of the gate and didn't recover. I thought it was his worst dance.
Jericho was really in his head- truly a step back for him. The song didn't help.
I'm afraid that if I hear this band sing that Titanic song I will turn to salt or something
Guilty? Maybe. Pleasure? Um, no.
I really don't know if there is a song I like less than My Heart Will Go On
Good Waltz from Romeo....should not get 10s.
Is CarrieAnne going to cry again? I have no problems with Romeo/Chelsie being in the finals.
I liked that (in spite of the song), but it wasn't "magical."
They're gonna lob 10s at him, aren't they?

|2012-2013 Estimated Cost of Attendance
The cost of attendance for a student is an estimate of reasonable educational expenses a student should anticipate for the enrollment period. A student's cost of attendance generally is the sum of tuition, mandatory student fees, books, supplies, room and board, and student loan fees. Students with dependents other than a spouse may include reasonable childcare expenses. Students with disabilities may also include expenses related to that disability.
Below, you will find the estimated cost of attendance for full-time undergraduate and graduate students.
Undergraduate Students - Estimated Cost of Attendance for 2012-2013 Award Year, Full-time (12 units)
Graduate Students - Estimated Cost of Attendance for 2012-2013 Award Year, Full-time (9 units)
A student cannot receive more than the Cost of Attendance from any combination of federal, state, institutional, or private funding source.
Each student award letter includes that cost of attendance that was used to determine award eligibility. Should you have questions regarding how your own cost of attendance was calculated, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Attack on girl, 7, by 5th-grader caught on video
WILMINGTON, Del. – A 7-year-old girl returned to her elementary school on Wednesday, three days after she was pummeled by a fifth-grade student in an attack on their school bus, an incident caught on video on another student's cell phone.
Sponsored Links
The assault, which is being investigated both by Brandywine School District officials and state police, has prompted some changes to ensure students are safe when riding the bus to and from school, district Superintendent Mark Holodick said.
An aide was assigned to the bus Wednesday and students on that route are now riding on a new bus equipped with two video surveillance cameras instead of one, he said. A supervisor driving a gold SUV was also seen following the bus Wednesday.
The incident unfolded Friday afternoon on the ride home from Forwood Elementary School, according to the 7-year-old's mother, Aisha Williams-Gray.
When the school bus rolled up to her Woodacres apartment, several students carried her crying daughter off the bus, she said.
"The kids were all saying that there had been a fight on the bus and that the driver didn't stop it and kept on driving to reach our stop."
The children told Williams-Gray that the fight had been provoked by a fifth-grade girl, who bullied and then attacked her daughter when she wouldn't give up her jelly beans.
A video of the assault was later sent to Williams-Gray.
In it, the fifth-grader could be seen initially giving Williams-Gray's daughter a shove. Then the first-grader stood up on the bus seat, to be eye to eye with her attacker, and the two girls exchanged words. The altercation escalated when the older girl shoved the younger one.
The fifth-grader grabbed the 7-year-old by the scruff of the neck and beat her repeatedly in the back of the head, then yanked her to the bus floor. She hit her a few more time before heading to the rear of the bus.
The attack, as seen on the video, took about 34 seconds amid shouts from the other children.
Williams-Gray took her daughter to a hospital, where she said the girl was treated for a traumatic hematoma to the head and a concussion.Williams-Gray then reported the incident to state police. And Monday morning she went to the school to confront officials who, she said, were apparently unaware of what had happened.
The bus driver wrote an incident report Friday afternoon, but the report wasn't received by district transportation and elementary scool officials until Monday, said district spokeswoman Alexis Andrianopoulos. They launched an investigation, reviewing surveillance tapes from the bus and interviewing students, parents and the bus driver, Andrianopoulos said.
"I've been to the school numerous times about the bullying," Williams-Gray said. "We could have avoided all of this if the older kids were separated from the younger kids on the bus."
Williams-Gray said she had to drive her daughter to school Wednesday because she feared riding the bus.
"How do I ensure that she is going to be safe in school? And my daughters love going to school."
Forwood Elementary School parent Jill Fella said when the videotape of the incident was shown on the news Tuesday night, she thought it had happened at a Philadelphia school. She was shocked to learn that the victim was a girl in her son's class.
"The saddest part is the girl got a concussion," Fella said. "It's a sad situation all around. I know that things like this can happen anywhere. But Forwood is a good school and you don't hear many bad things about the school."
Holodick said district officials are reviewing the situation, as well as what was happening in the weeks leading up to the attack, which he called "unacceptable."
"This is the first time these two students had a confrontation," he said. "That doesn't mean that there wasn't anything prior to this happening. The school district is doing everything to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again."
"Clearly, there is a perpetrator that has to be reprimanded and dealt with," Holodick said. He added that all students are afforded due process and would not say what, if any, action has been taken against the fifth-grader.

Ohio State's sophomore quarterback had one of his worst games last week in a 21-14 overtime win at Wisconsin, completing 10 of 18 passes for 97 yards. He managed only 48 yards rushing on 23 attempts, totals affected by three sacks.
Miller also seemed confused at times on the read option and struggled to find open receivers downfield against a Wisconsin defense that preferred to play coverage as opposed to pressure.
It could be a plan the Wolverines mimic as they try to slow down a player who is still second in the Big Ten in total offense at 278.6 yards per game.
"Obviously, I've got to take responsibility because Tom (Herman) and I called that game," head coach Urban Meyer said. "It was not what we want. We want to open this thing up. We have to against this team we're playing. We have to open this offense up and trust that good things are going to happen."
2. How much can Denard Robinson do?
Michigan's star quarterback missed two games with an injured throwing elbow before starting at running back last week against Iowa. The senior showed he can still be dangerous with the ball in his hands as he rushed 13 times for 98 yards. He also caught two passes for 24 yards, but it remains to be seen if he can throw the ball.
Michigan head coach Brady Hoke told reporters in Ann Arbor this week he is capable but would not go into much detail. Even without hearing that, OSU head coach Urban Meyer said the Buckeyes will operate as if he can hurt them with his arm while also preparing for super sub Devin Gardner.
3. Can the Buckeyes stay ahead of the chains?
Some of Miller's problems were due to down and distance. The Buckeyes were only 3 for 12 on third down, a figure greatly influenced by how often they had unfavorable distances to make.
They needed seven yards or more on eight of their third downs, including four double-digit distances. Even after taking out a third-and-31, the average distance to go was 7.2 yards.
That is not a formula for success as it allows teams to vary pressures and coverages without concern of the run, and it exposes how much more development Miller needs to make as a drop-back passer.
4. Will tight ends play a notable role?
Ohio State's tight ends have been off and on contributors as far as catching passes this season, but they could be part of the plan this week.
Iowa's tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz led the Hawkeyes with eight catches for 99 yards, and his backup Henry Krieger-Coble hauled in three passes for 24 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown in the first quarter before the game got out of hand.
Northwestern also had some success throwing over the middle against the Wolverines a week earlier.
This is a question that could swing either way as Michigan 6-4, 229-pound freshman Devin Funchess presents a big, athletic target for the Wolverines. He enters the game with 13 catches for 201 yards and four touchdowns on the season.
5. Which star linebacker has the biggest impact?
This game features two of the best young linebackers in the Big Ten in Ryan Shazier and Jake Ryan.
Not only are both tackling machines, they have also shown a knack for making plays at times their teams really need them most.
Shazier is second in the Big Ten with 110 tackled and shares the conference lead in tackles for loss (14.5) with teammate Johnny Simon, and Ryan is only 1.5 behind in a fourth-place tie with Indiana lineman Adam Replogle.
With three forced fumbles apiece, Shazier and Ryan are both one off the conference lead in that category, too.

'The Ducks may very well be trying to move goalie Martin Gerber, the backup to J.S. Giguere, who rarely plays. Gerber, a native of Switzerland, was 6-11-3 with a 1.95 goals-against average and .929 save percentage last season, his first in North America. The Sabres remain unsure whether Martin Biron or Mika Noronen can be their every day goalie, so there could very well be trade talks between the teams.'

Nathan Garcia is in his 10th season as head coach of the University of California San Diego men's and women's cross country programs in 2016. In nine years at the helm, Garcia has guided his alma mater to three NCAA Championship appearances, while also coaching many All-California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) and All-West Region honorees.
Garcia directed the 2015 women to a seventh-place finish at the NCAA West Regionals, 16 points shy of the last qualifying spot to the NCAA Championships, with Paige Hughes receiving All-Region distinction after finishing in 21st place. The Triton men took 13th at the meet. The women were second and the men took fifth at the CCAA Championships. Hughes, Corinne Hinkle and Karina Carstens took home All-CCAA honors after finishing in the top-15. Carstens was tabbed as the conference's Freshman of the Year after being the first freshman to complete the race.
Garcia took over head coaching duties for both programs in 2007 after the resignation of longtime coach and mentor Ted Van Arsdale. He served as an assistant under Van Arsdale for five seasons prior to his appointment to the top spot. In addition to leading the cross country teams, Garcia also coaches distance events for the UCSD track and field teams.
In his first season as head coach, Garcia guided both the men and women's teams to the 2007 NCAA Division II National Championships, marking just the second time UCSD has accomplished that feat at the D-II level. The women's team finished 11th at the championships, moving up five places from their 16th place finish in 2006, while the men finished in the 20th spot, which was their highest finish since 2003.
Garcia led the women's team to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA West Regionals, while the men came in seventh in 2008. Redshirt freshman Bre Schofield advanced to the D-II National Championships in Slippery Rock, Pa., finishing 22nd overall, which was UCSD's best individual finish since 2002. Schofield took home USTFCCCA All-American honors for her performance.
Following another strong campaign in 2009, the Tritons posted a combined 11 top-five team finishes in 2010, highlighted by the men's victory at the Bronco Preview Meet in Whittier in October. The Triton men went on to finish third at the CCAA Championships on the same course two weeks later, while the women recorded a fifth-place showing at the conference meet. UCSD's men would then finish eighth at the NCAA West Regional Championships in Bellingham, Wash., with the women claiming 14th place.
In 2012, Garcia guided both the men and women to national rankings, peaking at No. 28 and No. 30, respectively. At the NCAA Division II West Regionals in Kahuku, Hawaii, the Triton men took 10th while the women finished 12th overall. After the season concluded, both squads were named to the 2012 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Division II All-Academic Teams, and juniors Kellen Levy and Chia Chang each earned individual USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors for the second year in a row. Levy additionally was selected to the 2013 Capital One Academic All-District® Men's Track/Cross Country First Team for the NCAA Division II District 8, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
In 2013, Garcia coached the men's team to a sixth place finish, while the women finished 11th, at the NCAA West Regionals. Tareq Alwafai and Tanner Collins on the men's side and Marie Diaz and Paige Hughes from the women were named to the All-West Region team. Alwafai went onto race at the NCAA National Championship and finished in 100th place. Also, Kellen Levy and Matt Lenehan were named All-conference.
In 2014, Garcia guided the women's team to a 21st-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. The Triton women qualified for the national meet with a fourth place finish at the NCAA West Regionals, finishing ahead of three-ranked teams in No. 18 Western Washington, No. 23 Cal Poly Pomona and No. 25 California Baptist. The men's squad finished seventh in the west region. Tanner Collins and Hughes earned All-West Region after they finished 14th and 16th, respectively, in the region. Both UCSD men and women finished fourth at the CCAA meet, with Hughes and Hinkle earning all-conference honors.
Garcia was a four-year letterwinner in both cross country and track at UCSD from 1996 to 2000. During his time as a Triton, he earned numerous athletic and academic honors, including Verizon All-Academic District VIII and CCAA Scholar-Athlete honors in 2000-01. He was also honored by UCSD on National Student-Athlete Day that same year.
Garcia earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from UC San Diego in 2000, graduating cum laude. He then completed a multi-subject professional clear CLAD credential at UCSD in 2001.

Hello, i moved to Surrey , BC from England 2yrs ago. I,m 39 yrs old + had done a translators course in 1985/86 at college. It was either a BTEC diploma or a City & Guilds. I also did a 2 yr BTEC Business Diploma + a part-time course similar to teaching ESL.
Soon after finishing college i started my own business + didn,t really do any type of work connected to my translating+ ESL courses.
Since arriving in Canada i have done 6 mths volunteer work for an ESL school teaching adults in grades 3, 4 +5.
I found this so comfortable + would like to become an ESL teacher here.The college i attended some 23 yrs ago has closed + i,ve had no joy in trying to get copies of my certificates.
Can i do a quick test in Surrey/Vancouver to prove my credentials please.

text: No stranger to balancing academics and real-world experience, EJ came to RWU through the University's Learn-Apply-Build Scholarship Program – a work/study partnership with the MET Center, Community College of Rhode Island and Gilbane Building Company. A motivated student, EJ jumped at the chance to explore the field of Construction Management and gain hands-on experience through internships and summer work while completing his degree. EJ is now beginning his sixth year of on-the-job experience with Gilbane, one of the nation's largest building contractors, and will be a superintendent with the company after commencement. He's tackled huge jobs like the T.F. Green Airport Interlink and a $250 million project for Fidelity Investments – all as an undergraduate. Far from one-dimensional, EJ is also an RA, the president of the Sigma Lambda Chi honor society and involved with the ACE Mentor Program with local Rhode Island high school students. EJ is building a strong future for himself. What will you do?

The takedown version of the 10/22 has a part of the takedown mechanism (semi)permanently attached to the barrel. Most (if not all) aftermarket stocks and conversion kits were not designed and built with the takedown parts/mechanism in mind, because until recently, it didn't exist. So, unless a particular item specifically states in the description that it WILL accept a 10/22 barrel and receiver with the takedown mechanism, it most probably will NOT be compatible.
I am sure that many items will eventually be modified to allow use with the new 10/22, but some will not (for instance, there may not be much of a demand for a folding stock on the takedown model, because you can make the gun shorter for transportation/storage by just taking the barrel off). In the meantime, owning one will be like being the first guy on the block with a brand new handgun design. Yeah, he has the new whizz-bang cool handgun, but he probably won't be able to find a holster for it for a year or more (unless he pays a custom holster maker big bucks to sew something up, or uses a generic nylon pouch-type rig).
