Nothing wrong with being excited. I get pumped up when I get a new gun myself. Just don't forget the pictures and a range report when you get it. Good luck.
I just met with a guy today who's selling a 99.9% condition Baby Eagle. I was in the market for either a EAA Witness (after reading the threads on them here), Beagle, or CZ75, and I received a PM from him about his gun. It is a full-size, steel frame 9mm, with 10 rounds through it. Previous owner bought it for his wife; she shot it and didn't like it, sold it to this fellow who never shot it and kept it in his safe. $400, which is about $70 cheaper than they run in these parts. It's flawless from what I can tell. I only say 99.9% because it has been owned.
I'm so excited! Have to wait until the end of the month though...I'm working a bunch of extra days, but won't get the $$ till the end of the month. I was a little skeptical of a full-size being able to conceal easily, and I'd been planning on a compact version of either of those three, BUT I dropped it in my Cross Breed Super-Tuck and the thing fit very well, and it disappeared! I was wearing shorts and a button-up dress shirt, untucked. OMG OMG OMG I'm so excited!! I bought a P3AT not too long ago, but I didn't get that "Excited" feeling you normally get when buying a gun. That was more of a purchase from a "Ugh, I need something to fill this niche," standpoint. I'm thinking of selling it actually, lol. Ah, crap, I'm rambling. Can ya TELL I'm excited?!?!?!
Nothing wrong with being excited. I get pumped up when I get a new gun myself. Just don't forget the pictures and a range report when you get it. Good luck.
Haha, okay, I'll get some pictures when I get the gun...WHEN I get the gun!
Tha' clock is ticking. You're teasing us. We'll give you till the end of the month................then we'll send Scooter after ya'.
GUYS! Ok, I finally got the gun, so here are some quick pictures! I apologize for the quality, but hey, this is ME we're talkin about.
NICE lookin' pistole'!!!!! OK, Scooter, you can back off now.
How many rds. does the mag. hold? Hurry up and shoot it and give us a report.
The two mags hold 17 rounds each. Factory or after market I'm not sure...I only see 9x19 and a T with a triangle (sorta) around it.
I copied this from another post I made here, so that I wouldn't have to type it all out again!!
It's a really nice shooting gun. It's heavy, but it helps a lot...recoil feels like nothin'! The DA trigger is long and heavy, but the SA is pretty darn nice. Almost reminds me a bit of my 1911's trigger when I had it, although there is a very small bit of take-up on it. I have the full-size, steel frame 9mm.
I've put 270 rounds through it so far, and it had one FTE (stovepipe), which I feel wholeheartedly was my fault- limp wrist. I had the gun on target and was taking up the slack on the SA trigger when I went just a bit too far, lol. I didn't have a good grip on it at that point, and it recoiled up very noticeably.
I ran 200 WWB FMJs, 50 Remington JHPs, and 20 Gold Dots. It liked them all! The gun definitely seems accurate, although I wasn't grouping too well at first (new gun to get used to!). The rear sight seems awfully high, and I was shooting high at first. When I started aiming just a little bit lower I got it back on target...just took some getting used to. I will say this: the hest I shot was about 23 yds or so on a B-34 silhouette, and all shots but two (out of probably 50) were in the target. The other two were still on paper. For ME, that's not bad. Up closer (7-10 yds) she groups very nicely. When I had the sights figured out I was grouping at $.50 piece size in the 10 ring.

That is a very attractive gun. Glad it shoots so well. Sounds like you got a deal! See if Ship will send it off for you to get it hard chromed .
Nice gun congrats. Wish I could find a deal like that.

Just want to get some one's advice. There is an online version of the CELTA course in which only 1 week is face to face (in which I will have to travel to Dublin to do). The course is 15 weeks which suits me alot because it's a well paced course.
However, a friend of mine says he thinks that the clear advantage of doing a face to face course is that you can practice within a group from your class. He thinks that the Online course sounds like a rip off. He also said that when it comes to getting interviews from employers, employers might prefere if you did a full face-to-face course.
Im suprised to find that there is no online forums that have discussed the ONLINE CELTA course.
Here is a link to the ONLINE CELTA course :
http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams-and- ... ake-celta/
If anyone has done the ONLINE CELTA course, can they please tell me how they find it and if they regret not doing the face to face course instead.
Im afraid to go about a 4 week intensive CELTA course because I have learning difficulties due to being diagnosed with dyspraxia and dyslexia (although I only have minor dyslexia).
Im also considering doing a 7 week face to face CELTA course, which is decribed as 'semi-intensive' from my local university. If anyone has done a 7 week version of the course, can they tell me how they found it.
Thanks for your help anyway.

South Dakota DIY River Bottom Archery Deer Hunts
I just came across new property to hunt. I used to lease this ranch and the hunting is outstanding. Expect something 130 inches and larger.
These are six days of DIY archery deer hunting packages with lodging.
Location: Extreme northwest corner of South Dakota by the town of Camp Crook.
Price: $1250 +5.5% South Dakota Sales Tax
Licenses: $286 and are guaranteed and good for Mule Deer or Whitetail deer even though you have to send in a application. This is about 20% Mule Deer and 80% Whitetail Deer. In the late season there will be more Mule Deer showing up.
Season Dates: September 28 through November 14 and then again December 3 through December 31.
This is over 4500 acres of private land and the Little Missouri River literally runs right through the middle of it. These are hardwood bottoms with agricultural fields scattered throughout it.
This is one big pasture and we will show you around and some of the hotspots. The lodging is right on the property and you are within minutes of a restaurant. The lodging does not have cooking utensils. It is a small cabin with bunk beds and bathrooms and showers are in another small cabin just feet away.
There are two rifle hunters coming this year and the rest of the season is wide open. It has been very lightly hunted the past couple of years.

Pizza Ring RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 7 8
Mom made a ring with chicken and broccoli one night. I said I'd rather have pizza. That's how this recipe was born! —Sarah Richardson, Springdale, Arizona
Featured In: Crescent Ring Recipes
- 1 pound bulk Italian sausage
- 1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce, divided
- 1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
- 4 ounces Canadian bacon, chopped
- 2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
- Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in 1/2 cup pizza sauce, 1 cup cheese and Canadian bacon.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. On an ungreased 14-in. pizza pan, arrange triangles in a ring with points toward the outside and wide ends overlapping at the center, leaving a 4-in. opening. Press overlapping dough to seal.
- Spoon filling onto wide end of triangles. Fold pointed end of triangles over filling, tucking points under to form a ring (filling will be visible).
- Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with remaining pizza sauce. Yield: 8 servings.

Friday, May 16, 2014 | 9:26 a.m.
SALT LAKE CITY — Authorities say four people have died and four more have been injured in a van rollover crash on Interstate 70, about 30 miles west of the Colorado border.
Police are investigating whether the van was involved in human smuggling.
They are searching for one person who was in the van, but ran off after the Friday morning crash.
The accident happened at about 4:30 a.m. and closed the highway Friday morning.
Authorities believe no other vehicles were involved, said Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Todd Royce.
They believe the van's passengers don't speak English, Royce said.
Royce added that police don't know how old the passengers were, where they were from or who was driving the van.
Emergency crews brought the injured people to St. Mary's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Their injuries range from serious to critical, Royce said.

Time change for Trinity-Central tip-off
Both teams enter the night with 15-1 records in NHIAA play and one more regular-season game to play after Tuesday.
The Little Green and the Pioneers have met once this season, Central prevailing in the opening round of the Queen City Invitational, 64-50, on the day after Christmas. Junior point guard had a game-high 18 points to lead the Green.
Central is coming off its first loss of the season, 70-62 to Nashua South last Tuesday. The Little Green wrap up the regular season Friday at Bedford, which is a relatively modest 10-6 but has won its last four games and seven of its last eight.
Trinity has won five straight since its only NHIAA defeat, a 60-56 loss at Merrimack on Feb. 12. The Pioneers play their last regular-season game Friday at Timberlane Regional in Plaistow.

Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather vs. Snoseal for Kinco gloves
First post here, hoping to get some opinions from fellow gear heads...
I'm going to be a lift op this year, and I just purchased the Kinco 901 pigskin leather ski glove online, hoping the S will fit me (I am a lady and usually somewhere around a women's M/L glove size, palm is exactly 8'' around, heard these run big, so hoping the small isn't TOO small!).
The common consensus is that you use SnoSeal to waterproof these, and while I've had Snoseal in the past, currently don't have any around the house.
I have an old-ish (4 years old or so) tube of the Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather, and I was thinking of just using that instead. I'd rather not have to go out and purchase yet another leather waterproofing agent if I don't have to (I'm broke seeing as how work is still yet a week off at my area, though it's dumping up there right now, thank god). Opinions? If Snoseal is it, then I guess I'll go buy it but I have a feeling the Nikwax will do practically the same thing. Just want to do right by my gloves, good gear often means the difference between having warm, protected hands and miserable, frozen, soggy hands (and consequently, a grumpy lifty).
Kind of a silly question but just fishing to see if anyone has some insight into these waterproofing agents. My dad (a lifty of 15+ years) has had gnarly cracks in his hands after just a couple months of full time chair bumping and I want to avoid that if I can.

Hot on the heels of a hugely successful Feral Fix weekend in March, the San Francisco SPCA is gearing up for another team effort to get out in front of the inevitable approach of Kitten Season.
Cats have an extremely robust reproductive capacity. Females can reach sexual maturity in as little as 5 months. A cat in heat can bear a litter with kittens from multiple fathers. Cats can also bear multiple litters in a single Kitten Season. All that activity can lead to rampant overpopulation among free-roaming cats, particularly in the Bay Area, where mild weather means Kitten Season can often last for eight months of the year. The result: every year, the SF SPCA struggles to feed, house and keep healthy far too many kittens.
In order to ease the burden on the shelter, the SF SPCA works with community volunteers to prevent as many feral and free-roaming cats as possible from reproducing. Over the course of the first weekend in March, volunteers brought in 58 cats. On Sunday the 6th, a tireless team of surgeons and support staff in our state-of-the-art Spay/Neuter Clinic managed to sterilize all 58 cats - in addition to providing top-notch care to paying clients.
On Sunday, April 17, the San Francisco SPCA will hold a special city-wide feral fix clinic. This clinic will not be available for owned cats; it is for free-roamers and ferals only. If you know of feral or free-roaming colonies in need of services, please call (415) 522-3539. The SF SPCA has volunteers available to assist in trapping and colony management.
Trapped feral cats for this special clinic will be accepted ONLY at the following times:
- Saturday, April 16th from 12 noon to 8pm
- Sunday, April 17th from 7:30am to 9:30am
For information on this special event, or on our regular Feral Fix program, please read our Feral Fix page.

|.. I would call that the Comp Thumpr cam as sold by Summit... one you have is biggest I would go with Vortec heads... what stall speed are you running? or is it stick shift? In some cases, the Comp recommended "2000 stall" converter may be a bit low for an automatic with that 227/241 cam depending on rear end ratio and your expectations. I'd highly recommend headers and true dual 2 1/2"-3" exhaust/mufflers to keep full power when installed in the car...
I have a 90's 350 with vortic heads...
I used the summit
thumper cam kit-cca-k12-600-4
spring shims-cca-4753
valve seals-fel-proq5572861
push rods-cca-7812-16
cam lock plate-cca-4605
I had to send back the kits behive springs and retainers because of clearence issues.....I found that
worked well
heard it run on the engine stand, sounds great......didn't have the dough for the carb,water pump,exhaust manifolds,etc. so the engine stand owner lent me his........
Vortec Head
I don't see why not. But can you get the cam from that same engine? You don't have to but you must want some power or you would not want the vortec heads. I own a 96 Tahoe and think all the time about how good this engine would have ran in my 73 Impala.
The markings along the length of the shaft are the foundry (CWC) and various factory markings, could be the furnace or mold ID, date code, etc.
|I recommend that you buy a complete 350 vortec engine (1996 to 2000) and start with that. Comes with a roller cam and vortec heads.
vortec heads
I have used the vortec head on a couple of my recent builds and they flow great for a stock head, the engine that is on my test stand now has the 062 cast head they have had the studd bosses cut down and tapped for screw in studds only because of the cam i used which is the gmpp LT4 hot cam (525/525) this engine with a stock vortec or zz piston(they are the same) runs awsome(hitting 8000 rpms on the stand no problem),the last engine we did with the vortecs had the voodoo hyd flat tappit, did nothing to the studds,ran the stock self-aligning rocker and a Z28 style spring we just had to cut the valve seal boss down(a cutter for these is cheap and at any nappa or autozone) to prevent bind,which is the only reason you have to keep your lift down soo low on the vortec heads also no self align rocker is needed if you open the pushrod hole in the head with a drill, we have found that the vortec is a great budget head but keep in mind if you try to put alot of money in these you can get a better,thicker casting head new for around 550.00 a pair(rhs) it is not worth doing any port or custom work to these the factory head it is very thin cast and crack prone but for mild street/strip build you cannot top them
Vortec Heads
I did the same this past July. With the performance chevy intake make sure you do the cooling update in the first paragraph of the instructions. Then you will need a chip to make it run because it will be too lean. Motorvation is great to work with and they will send you chips till you are happy. Just tell them what you have and what you did and what you want. Very smart on the older fuel injections. Can also be reached through summit. Good luck CYA Joe
It's interesting you mention Voodoo cams as that was one of the brands I was looking at as a replacement.
Would anyone be able to decipher what type of cam I currently have? I've looked through countless pages but came up with nothing. The markings are:
Butt end of shaft: K MP
Along the shaft: CWC 29 J3 C6 D6 EP1
(picture attached)
I believe it was originally in a late 70's Monte Carlo, and the cylinders were bored to .030.
If it helps, it was installed in a 350 2-bolt block with Chevy Corvette 327 250 HP heads (Casting is 3795896), and a 1969 2 Barrel SBC Intake 3916313.
The older design cams use a long ramp, this is typical of the muscle car era cams that have this really cool sounding idle but really don't and didn't produce amazing power for their stated durations. Plus they are designed to work with the very high compression ratios of the era which are not practical with unleaded fuel, at least not affordable unleaded fuel, of today.
Where the long ramp gets you into trouble especially with modern compression ratio limits is that they hold the intake valve off the seat for a longer time so the piston as it rises in the cylinder pushes the mixture it drew in on the down stroke back into the intake system. This leaves less mixture, by weight or density, in the cylinder, thus it makes less force on the piston. While the seat clearance isn't very high at this point you have to consider that the backward flow though the valve is considerably higher than the inflow for this lift would have been because the piston is pushing the mixture out with considerable force, much more force than atmospheric pressure pushes mixture into the cylinder chasing the descending piston. So this reversion loss is more than a minor one.
The whole concept behind the late closing intake is that as the RPMs raise there comes a point where the mixture entering the engine develops enough speed which translates to kinetic energy that it will continue to flow into the cylinder at these low ramp lifts against the outward push forces caused by the rising piston. From this critical RPM up to the breathing red line, the engine develops a surprising amount of volumetric efficiency and the power output that comes from this deep breathing. One can play with the critical RPM a bit with sizing of the porting and carburetor. This is where smaller ports, valves and venturies will raise the velocity thus the kinetic energy of the mixture sooner in the RPM band which will pull the power peaks lower and reduce the need for so much compression. The darkside of this change is that it greatly reduces the otherwise possible upper RPMs and the horsepower to be found there.
So a fast acting cam with short ramps (this may be only 10-15 degrees more compared to a slow ramp) clips off the reversion flow that happens below the critical RPM so it doesn't kill the bottom end torque as much as a long ramp cam. Another result of closing the intake sooner is that ultra high compression ratios needed to recover torque below the critical RPM are not necessary such that these fast ramp cams are more compatible with modern un-leaded fuel octane levels. To achieve good top end breathing with these cams the lift can be raised taking advantage of the larger curtain area of the open valve. This of course requires a better flowing port, but one that uses improved location and shape rather than just bigger ports because you still want to have a high velocity flow as soon as possible, but at the same time not restrict the maximum flow of the port to do it. At Chevrolet this lead to the LT1 and 4 ports which found their way into the L31 Vortec and GMPP Fastburn heads while still using production detail parts and processes and fitting within the confines of the production vehicle envelope. Certainly without these constraints one can look to the many and high power efficient GMPP and aftermarket 18 and 15 degrees heads and the many port variations this frees up that were not possible with existing production constraints of engine shape and size into the then current vehicles. The pan still has to miss objects the vehicle has to pass over for example so you can only get the engine so deep in the chassis and the chassis so close to the ground so the engine (Gen I&II) sets rather high in the chassis so the intake system gets shape compomised to fit it under the hood lines the designers want.
Roller cams make it easier to push the lifter open faster and further without tearing the lobe and lifter up. The OEMs went to rollers really for emission purposes. Just to show how things drive other things; back in the 1980s the EPA wanted to get ZDDP out of oil because it contaminated the catalytic converter is a way similar to lead in fuel did, just slower since it is carry over component in the combustion chamber rather than a direct component of fuel. So the OEMs were put in the position of running into wear problems between the lobe and lifter without this additive to which the only viable solution was Parkerizing which was also going away because of pollution issues with the process. So the choice was going to be very expensive to purchase and machine materials to make lobes and flat tappet lifters survivable in the new world or go to a roller. The less costly route was the roller. You will note that the actual timing at the valve of production roller engine such as the L31 Vortec is nothing unusual for a production truck engine, power performance was not what the OEMs went to the roller for, it was a backhanded way of solving an emissions problem.

If you'll notice, the design of the piston leaves a LOT to be desired. The round dish is a detriment to good squish/quench action, and in this case it's made even worse by a rather large 45 degree chamfer around the outer edge of the piston deck. That leaves a scant 1/2" band of the top of the piston to provide the quench effect, and that's just not enough.
A much better choice if a dished piston is needed is a reverse dome or D-cup type piston (this one is for a SBC 383 stroker):
X3 on the camshaft- much too much duration @ 0.050" lift. It would run better all the way around w/a cam in the 222-228 duration @ 0.050" range. Nothing wrong w/using a split pattern cam w/the Vortec head, though.
This leads you down several paths not optimum for a street engine
- A rougher, lower vacuum and higher RPM idle. This leads off to several things like limited vacuum for power brakes, a higher stall speed converter for example.
- Lack of compression with this set up, the later closing intake at 71 degrees say compared to the XE268 at 61 degrees requires more compression to get the power up.
- The low lift against the longer duration doesn't take advantage of the Vortec's better porting. Whenever you can use parts that take advantage of more lift with less duration you're better off to go that way at least on the street.
- Excessive cooling, if you read Smokey very carefully, you'll see he leads you to maximum power is achieved with a cold mixture being stuffed into a hot engine. Not a cold mixture into a cold engine. In his waning days on this earth he was working on a super hot engine as an approach to way more power. He's not the first to go down this path, but for half a century it's been in view theoretically but the materials engines are built from and perhaps physics interactions we don't yet appreciate have stymied this effort. Still running cold tap water through the cooling system did nothing to help.
It once again shows that what works for a rules limited race engine and what can be optimal on the street for a performance engine are not the same things in all cases. While close to the 400 horse barrier this engine just isn't going to get there unless you dive into the pistons and replace the cam with less duration having more lift. I mean you can get there with tuning but itll be too edgy to stay there long; a different parts selection is needed to get up on that plateau and not have to constantly fiddle the thing to stay there. The condition HR found itself in with 1.6 rockers and 1-3/4 headers is that both of these, if not actively working against the combination, certainly didn't add anything. The 1.6 rocker opens the valves faster as well as higher. While higher could work to their advantage on the Vortec head, faster just made the overly rampy cam act like it had more ramp. That worked against the compression ratio and burn characteristics of the combustion chamber with the circular dish pistons. The 1-3/4 tube headers reduced the overlap signal that could have been used to help with initiating intake flow in what David Vizard calls the 5th cycle.
I'm sure with tuning this engine could crack the 400 barrier but it would not be economical to operate with the late closing intake and lacking compression. So while cheap to build it would be more costly than necessary to operate.
I love this message board. I have no clue how I'd complete this project without it.
While doing some research last night, I came across this "low cost" 350 SBC build: Small-Block Chevy Build - 391HP Chevy 350 Engine For $2,613 - Hot Rod Magazine
What I liked about the article was the fact they included a full build list in Excel that I could follow. The issue I had with it though was the inclusion of the "oval track" cam.
Everything else seems to line up with the info given here though, so I'm feeling pretty good about it.
The Vortec head uses center bolt valve covers, so your old ones won't fit. The 12558060 heads are advertised to be good for 0.475" lift, but be sure to check the clearance between the seal and retainer if your cam comes anywhere near that much lift. In some cases, insufficient clearance is caused by the valve stem seals not being fully driven down on the valve guide boss, so if you're having clearance issues w/a cam having less lift, check the seals for being installed all the way, first. If your cam is stock this won't be a problem.
If you want to get the mostest from this swap, read up on the quench measurement. You will have the opportunity to improve the quench distance (if needed) by using a head gasket w/the thickness that best suits your engine. It does require some measuring, but nothing that you can't do I'm sure.
Other reading, if you're in the mood:
• Vortec heads
• Valve spring installed height
• Valve train points to check
• Valve train geometry
• Adjusting hydraulic lifters
• Cam break in (not needed unless you were to change cams)
• First start up. Mainly useful for getting the distributor back in so it'll start back up easily.
• HEI distributor/Timing info- this is very important, especially if the distributor you have is a stock unit. You can gain good power/improved drivability by dialing in a performance advance curve. The stock curve is the pits in almost every case.
Great info. Thanks for the help.

The iPad mini is still available to buy but you shouldn't confuse it with the new iPad mini 2 Retina which looks exactly the same but is more expensive and has some significant improvements over its predecessor.
Key differences between the iPad mini and iPad mini 2:
The newer iPad mini comes with a Retina display. This offers a much higher resolution than the original iPad mini and it really tells. The screen is much sharper and brighter - it's one of the best tablet screens around. That's not to say that the original iPad mini's screen is rubbish. In fact it's decent. Video and pictures look good, it's when reading text that you'll wish for a higher resolution.
The iPad mini comes with the iPad 2's A5 processor in tow. It's a little long in the tooth now but has no problem running apps. The newer iPad mini comes with the same processor as the iPhone 5S, the 64-bit A7. You'll find that 3D games, like Infinity Blade 3, offer more detail and 3D effects on the Retina screen of the new iPad mini. If you want to use heavy duty apps like 3D rendering and video/photo editing you may want to pick up the more expensive iPad mini, but if not the processor jump is less of an issue than the screen.
The new iPad mini has a slightly better front and rear camera. You'll get better shots in lower light conditions with it.
Battery life:
Both iPad minis last about the same amount of time - 10 hours of constant use.
This is the other big difference between the original iPad mini and the new one. The original has dropped in price and costs £249 for the entry level 16GB Wi-Fi only model. The iPad mini Retina costs £70 at £319. If you only intend to use your iPad for light apps and browsing then the original iPad mini should suffice, but if you can afford the extra £70 you won't be disappointed by the stunning screen on the newer model.
Previously tipping the iPad mini as one of the first true rivals to the iPad's mantle of tablet king, and a few months on from launch and the Google Nexus 7 rival is still coming into its own, outselling its 9.7-inch sibling and marking itself out as the most desirable offering in all of tablet land. What's more, since the iPad mini hit retailers, there has been no sign of a device to truly rival it despite the MWC unveiling of the stylus toting Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0.
Virtually as good as new five months into life, the brushed aluminium rear of the iPad mini review unit we have been making use of plays host to just a couple of small scratches, despite being tossed around in bags, suffered a few knocks and drops and accompanied us on multiple trips to the US and across Europe. Protected only by the official iPad mini Smart Cover, the device's screen is without damage, standing up well to the rigors of heavy, everyday use. That said, the iPad mini's oleophobic coating isn't all that it is cracked up to be, with smeared fingerprints the cause for a screenwipe always being at hand.
In terms of connectivity, the 4G iPad mini, paired with an EE contract has come into its own, allowing us largely uninterrupted access to online content whilst on the move and away from Wi-Fi hotspots.
Offering strong signal strength in areas of good coverage, the 4G iPad mini connection is let down only by the limited 4G coverage currently bestowed upon the UK. Although the 4G services can be patchy at times, the tablet seamlessly transitions to 3G networks when required, ensuring our online activities have remain uninterrupted. What's more, with EE recently confirming 4G is now available across 50 UK towns and cities, the draw of a 4G contract continues to grow stronger.
The main area where the iPad mini has failed to continue to shine five months after launch, is its display. Although we highlighted the iPad mini screen as an area for improvement during the original review, during the past few months, the niggling issue of its lack of a Retina display has continued to grow. Although still more than perfectly acceptable, when reading text-based content, such as through apps such as Pages, there is noticeable pixilation to the characters.
Although the 64GB iPad mini is now brimmed with all manner of content, from photos, videos and music to apps and games, the tablet shows no sign of slowing down, quickly and effortlessly jumping between content and keeping the user experience, smooth, free-flowing and efficient.

Apple might have revolutionised the tablet market back in 2010 with the launch of the 9.7-inch original iPad, but the Cupertino based company is late to the 7-inch tablet party. With the iPad mini, however, it is certainly a case of better late than never.
Not your typical 7-inch device, the iPad mini is in fact a 7.9-inch tablet, with that extra 0.9 of an inch providing you with a very welcome 35 per cent more on-screen real-estate without adding too much to the device's overall size. Able to be held in a single hand, the iPad mini answers many of the gripes with the original iPad's difficult, at times cumbersome, size.
Featuring Apple's customary premium price tag, iPad mini prices kick off at £269, a figure that is pleasingly £139 cheaper than the entry level iPad 4. Despite this, the iPad mini still costs £110 more than the basic Google Nexus 7, arguably the iPad mini's closest competitor and a device that, on paper at least, is a more specs impressive offering.
With the iPad mini screen featuring an iPad 2 mimicking 1024 x 768p screen resolution, Apple's stunningly designed, brushed aluminium beauty backs this up with a dual-core A5 processor. The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean running Google Nexus 7, on the other hand, boasts a 1280 x 800p HD display and NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor, both of which are considerable upgrades.
Cameras front and rear, the iOS 6 operating system, Apple's compact and fast new Lightning connector (as debuted on the iPhone 5) and a claimed 10 hour battery life complete the core iPad mini features list but, if we are being honest, this is not where the iPad mini excels. Unrivalled in terms of design and build quality, the iPad mini looks, feels and acts like a premium device and one which has the presence of an advancement of the 7-inch tablet market.
As with virtually all Apple devices, the iPad mini is an undeniable beauty, combining sleek, seamless edges, a stunning brushed metal back and strong build quality that is unrivalled by anything else on the 7-inch tablet market.
On first looks, it is most certainly a case of 'Apple has done it once again'. A company that has a knack for producing some of the best looking gadgets on the market has instantly transformed the 7-inch tablet scene with the iPad mini, a device that oozes style and offers a pleasingly friendly user experience from the off. Whereas many of the other 7-inch devices on the market feature plastic heavy constructions, with the iPad mini Apple has taken the premium approach, a move that, although showing in the price tag, is one which separates the device from its competition.
Lining up at a svelte 7.2mm thick and just 308g in weight, despite the iPad mini's additional screen size, Apple's first 7.9-inch tablet enters the market with a more solid and reassuring build than the competition. With no flex or creaking when putting the device under considerable amounts of pressure, the iPad mini puts your mind at ease and offers a strong yet lightweight form factor that is more than just easy on the eye. Press the centre of the back and there's just a little give which you don't get on the larger iPad, and pressing the screen does result in the LCD distorting more readily but neither detract from the overall effect.
With Apple keen to reassure us that this is not a mere 7-inch tablet, but in fact a game changing 7.9-inch device, it is clear to see why the iPod Touch manufacturer has plumped for the near extra inch. Although not as sharp as some the extra screen space creates a more immersive viewing experience that draws you in.
Despite being a couple of millimetres too wide to be held comfortably across the centre for prolonged periods, you can at least do so. And, if you do grip the corner instead, the lower weight means it remains comfortable for hours on end. With the tablet's minimalist weight distributed evenly throughout the device's body, the iPad mini is also well balanced in the hand not proving awkward to hold or tiresome to keep steady.
With few physical connection ports, the iPad mini's power providing Lightning connector is hidden discretely out of the way on the device's base whilst, somewhat strangely, the 3.5mm audio connector is situated on the top of the tablet. Having recently moved the iPhone 5's audio connector from the top of the device to the base for improved, less intrusive access, it would have been expected to see Apple do the same with the iPad mini. As it is, however, the top-mounted connection can cause headphone cables to droop across the screen on occasion; an issue that although only minor can grate when attempting to watch a movie.
This seemingly seamless design isn't without a slight gripe, however. When playing a game such as Need for Speed: Most Wanted in which the device needs to be held in a landscape manner, the iPad mini speaker location becomes a cause for concern. Situated on the base of the tablet, either side of the new 8-pin Lightning dock connector, the speakers are easily muffled by the hand when holding the device in a standard and conventional manner, an issue that can severely diminish the sound quality and deplete the overall enjoyment of the experience.
Also, as visually appealing as the slim, brushed metal, flat backed design is, it does have a slight cost in terms of practicality. With little area to gain a finger hold, it can prove irritatingly difficult to pick the iPad mini up off of a hard flat surface without having to drag it to the edge of the table or desktop first.
I'm not normally one to do complaining-about-apple-news-because-its-apple thing, but come on guys, a round up of incredibly vague rumors for a product that doesn't exist and has not even been hinted at by the manufacturer?
If you know something and are under an NDA then leave it till you can at least hint that you know. This sort of vaporcopy article just makes TR look bad.
I know that the design would look really great if it comes out mini, but wouldn't having an I phone be better?
Russell - I am assuming you read the article, therefore saw the adverts. Job done as far as TR is concerned
We do know where you're coming from but ultimately if we're to be a news source for the latest happenings in the world of tech then we need to cover rumour articles too - after all, it's what people are searching for. This just makes for an easy one-stop solution for people to find out everything we've heard so far on the iPad mini. We try to be as open and honest about this as possible and feel our approach isn't over the top. You'll note the article doesn't misleadingly have the word review plastered all over it, for instance.
I know what you're trying to imply here but you've actually missed the point. If the article was read in something like its entirety then absolutely we can be justified in publishing it. After all, there's no pretence or misdirection here - the article clearly states what it is. The cynical view would be that we don't even care about someone reading it but rather just that they click the link and give us a page view. But by providing considered and original content such as the above, we like to think we aren't.
In response to Ed's response to rushforthk, I disagree. The article headline in google reader read: "iPad Mini Tablet Review". I've noticed a lot of these linkbait style headlines over the past few months and will soon be removing TR from my rss feeds. The signal to noise rato has gone very low around here lately.
Why do you keep implying Apple products are particularly fragile and prone to damage? They use toughened glass (which is really a kind of ceramic) and are at least as tough as any other smartphone on the market and the aluminium cases are certainly stronger than any of the plastic rivals made in the Far East. I have dropped my iPhone more times than I care to remember on tile, concrete and wood floors. The other day I left it my bed and forgot it was there and when I pulled the covers back my iPhone 4 shot across the room and smashed into the metal frame of an exercise machine. There wasn't a scratch on it and it worked perfectly afterwards. There are many legitimate things to criticise Apple products for but build quality is not one of them. Almost every TR review now carries a snide remark about using glass and aluminium. It's beginning to sound like special pleading from someone who did something stupid and broke his device and has been sore about it ever since. Can you please tell us which rival makes an indestructible smart phone that doesn't use glass in its construction? Yes it will scratch or break if mistreated. But that's also true of furniture, cars and just about any consumer device ever made. In the future when we can buy products made out of weightless indestructible unobtanium you might have a point. For now it is just silly.
Unfortunately, that's a technical issue that's not too easy to remedy. We'll admit it doesn't look the best on the RSS. But c'mon, we still do full, in-depth reviews for the most part :)
Write for the end user TR, not the Google rankings... Really gone down hill in recent years! Very disapointed. Will also be removing from my RSS feeds!
I dunno about you guys but does this render the very recently released iPod Touch rather redundant all of a sudden because there's only £20 difference between that and the iPad mini? So unless we value the portability, double the storage and a sharper (albeit smaller) screen over the extra features, what's the point of the iPod Touch?
Always enjoy your reviews.. but in the PRO section for this ipad mini you put
Surprisingly affordable starting price ???????????
do a google search and that's one of the main sore points about this unit...
"Surprisingly affordable starting price" - is probably a relative comparison to the iPad 9.7" but fall short when comparing to the keenly fought 7+" tablet marketplace.
You say the iPad 2 had a screen pitch of 148ppi. This is wrong. It is exactly half the pitch of the Retina iPad, i.e. 132ppi, which means the iPad mini's 163ppi is 24% higher, or 38% less than that of the Retina iPad.
I stopped reading TR about a year ago because of all the rampant Apple fanboyism from the writers. For some reason I ended back at TR today and the first thing I saw was an Apple 9/10 review. See you in another year.
But the battery life is only 10 hours, it's really short as mobile device, already get iPad MINI Protective Leather Rotary Case With Belt Buckle, really cool ipad mini case
But if it was that good why not give it 9/10? In my opinion it IS that good.
"Whilst unlike Android or Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system Apple's iOS offering does not bring information such as emails or calendars to the fore through the use of interactive and customisable widgets, the app based UI that Apple introduced with the original iPhone is still a simplistic joy to use. With nothing more than a quick tap of the desired icon "
What I really don't understand is how apple is somehow allowed to be a special case for things like lack of widgets. Lets be clear here, in Android you don't have to use widgets. You can lay out your apps exactly how iOS does it, with a "quick tap of the desired icon". In this way, Android doesn't lose anything to iOS. On the other hand, in iOS you can't have widgets. The choice doesn't exist. Yet the lack of widgets in iOS is somehow presented as a good thing, a design choice, even a feature. If an Android handset came along and did the same thing it would get blasted for not allowing widgets. Why is iOS allowed to be a special case?
Agreed that was a little misleading as it was referring to comparative Apple products. We've removed that pro now, thanks for pointing it out.
I don't understand how something like this can be given such a high score when it falls down everywhere next to it's 7inch Rivals. People are buying 7inch tablets as they are comfortable to use with one hand, have high resolution screens that are good for text and are inexpensive.
That is the 7inch market surely?
In this Review you clearly say not comfortable to hold in 1 hand as it is wider than the others, you complain about the resolution when reading text and web pages and also the price versus it's Rivals yet stll it gets 9 out of 10?? You do not get headphones with it or even an adapter to connect it to anything you already own? As for how it feels and the design I was vey dissapointed, it's a small iPad that feels like it is a cheap copy of a premium apple device. After I had tried one in the shop I left dissapointed and thought apple had definetly missed the boat here. 9/10 did I read this review correctly?
"Certainly the most desirable 7-inch tablet on the market,(Why?) the iPad mini's £269 starting" price is considerably higher than the competition but for that outlay you get a device that, although not specs superior,(so it's more expensive?) is a far more enticing(to who, apple fanboi's?) option than much of what is already on the market. Can't believe after all of this it still gets a 9/10!!!!
Twice the price it should be and it looks surprisingly like the Samsung Tab2 7 inch but not as good; do I smell another court case?
The Nexus 7 gets slammed for:
Non-expandable memory
Native video support limited
But the iPad Mini's (and any other iPad's) lack of the same isn't even mentioned. You're mysteriously silent about it. Why is that?
I have been playing with the iPad mini and the Google Nexus 7 for about 3 days and both are very good but the Apple has way more function in the App dept. High performance means nothing when you do not have programs/apps to use the high performance. At that small of a size screen you are hard pressed to to see pixels and it looks more than good enough. I am going to get the iPad Mini. The only thing that these companies should offer on their tablets is expandable memory options.
The Ipad Mini will become a future Iphone where Siri will receive instructions via Bluetooth. You can keep the Mini in your briefcase, purse or coat pocket and have full function of the phone. Then you can pull it out, access maps, websites, photos, videos, even music while continuing to talk on the phone. The size of the mini coupled with the ability of a cell phone will revolutionize the industry. It will be that one step before your cell phone becomes your home computer that plugs into a cradle, connecting to a keyboard and monitor. One system for all. The more it does, the pricier it will get but worth it so that you don't have to carry a laptop, cell phone and Ipad around.
TR has been biased toward Apple products for a long long time. That's why.
One of the cons in this review should include non-expandable memory just like they pointed out on the Nexus 7. That is one example of a skewed review with an Apple bias..

Racist Motive in Murder of 13 Year Old??
Police say there may have been a possible racist motive to the murder of a 13 year old on the city's east side early Sunday, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Police say three African American men drove up to the home in the 300 block of Palfrey, which is near Goliad Road and Pecan Valley.
A police report says one of the men yelled 'F*** Mexicans!' and then opened fire.
Witnesses said they heard four shots fired, and Gabriel Martinez, 13, was shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have no suspects in custody. The three man escaped in what was described as a black nineties model Expedition.
Relatives of Martinez said they had not been involved in any confrontations and have 'no idea' why assailants would want to shoot the boy, or anybody in the home. Relatives of Gabriel say they did not recognize any of the three assailants.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|John long
I agree with the other guys for cutting auto body sheetmetal. A cutoff disc on a small side grinder will make short work of it but for 1/8 stock a plasma is really a wonderfull thing to have. This is a frame mount I cut out and welded up for the convertible. 10 minutes with the plasma cutter and I had my pieces.
|Would recommend Lotos LTP5000D. **** ******* ** *** it costs near $400 only and has cutting ability of 1/2" and severance ability of 3/4". I'm using the previous model Lotos LT5000D for 2 years so far and no problems at all.
I have a Century / Hypertherm unit I bought some years back from Sears. This was when plasma's weren't too cheap and available to hobbyists. Mine DOES cut through paint or any other coatings on metals. It is a high frequency unit and requires no contact with the workpiece to operate. I don't even have to ground it with the work clamp, although it is recommended.
The only problem I have with the unit....it's so easy to cut metals and so hard to weld them back together!
I punch out spot weld with it. Cut steel for panels and fabrications. And i got fortunate that consumables aren't too expensive for it. The best advice - buy one with an industry standard torch. Wierd, mail order tip parts will get tiresome.
I recently purchased a 'new' (Was supposed to be new.. Had fingerprints on the gun, but $400 all in), HF 40 amp plasma (I'm a hobbyest, figuring it would be fine for my needs).
I couldn't be happier with it. Pilot arc, igbt, trafimet gun yadda yadda. For a guy in his garage the odd time, I think it's perfect. Glad I didn't buy an ebay special (the ziptied guns turned me off). Sure this will only cut 1/2-5/8, but I just use it to zip through 1/4" aluminum most of the time.
My regret is not buying one BEFORE my car was almost done.
|I'm just a regular car guy, no shop, but when I back halved my Nova, starting out with cutoff wheels and sawsall, for an hour or so, I went out and bought a Lincoln ProCut 25, what a dream machine it is. I used it to cut my hood for the blower as well, and have used it quite a bit for minor fabrication, stands, bracket stuff. The only issue I had was most of my household breakers were only 15A, if you turn it up you could use a heavier circuit. It doesn't get much use lately, but it's there if needed. Some would consider having one as overkill, or an unnecessary luxury, but....
Plasma cutting with one of the major brand torches (like Hypertherm) is easy to do by hand as you can drag the torch on the plate or sheet being cut....or guide the torch along a template.....a piece of cardboard works well. These newest systems have a varieaty of different nozzles for different power levels that allow you to fine tune the cut quality for the thickness being cut. Here are some pics done with a 45 amp system on a 4 x 4 cnc table.
Jim Colt
1st pic....120 1/8" shims cut in 23 minutes. 2nd pic, 3/4" steel, 3rd...3/8" steel, 4th...1/4" steel, 5th, aluminum
I have my ways based on what I have learned and done but I am not going to say it's the right way or the only way.
I will say if you can control your hand with CNC precision out of a plasma or torch can be mind boggling. This is an oxy torch:
We all have opinions and this thread sure drives that point home. I have several cut off tools with different sizes and speeds available for cutting metal. Same with grinders. Also have a couple of different size acetylene torches. But the small plasma cutter has become the tool of choice. To me, it is quicker, cleaner and in the long run, the cheapest tool to use. $1.50 and up or a 3"X1/16 good cut off wheel gets expensive fast when making long and complex cuts. I can usually have the cuts made and trued up in the time it takes to change wheels on the air tool. I would say if I could only have one tool, then it would be the angle tool, but being around as long as I have, that is not a problem.
The plans are in "The racers guide to fabricating shop equipment" Stiil in print and the plans show a method of adding a motor drive as I recall..
Something I have been thinking of is building a pantograph to mount my plasma so then I could make a pattern and trace the pattern with the plasma...I have the plans for the pantograph just have not as yet built it..the original plans call for the use of a torch which I used many years ago and it worked well for making those flame cut parts we used to make..
I will also say a plasma is in general safer then a grinder. Having said that, I will tell you about an accident with the plasma which could have been a lot worse.
In the previous post the first photo I was going to cut the gauge for the air dam. I had all my safety equipment on including face shield, respirator. I was cutting a few things and the plasma puts a lot of smoke.
My equipment was sliding down my face so I grabbed my head repositioning my equipment. I did it so fast I just wasn't thinking. I had the plasma in my right hand and it was pointing directly at the side of my head above my ear.
Then all the sudden I heard the air valve click (Which means I accidentally pulled the trigger). When I head that noise I thew my arms straight out dropping all equipment. Simultaneously the plasma fired blowing the tip away from my head as I let go.
I lost a 2" circle of hair and a bit of a scab on my head. Dumb dumb dumb. I just sat their with a burnt head laughing at how stupid that was. You can see some where in the bottom of that photo is a small lock of hair.
I could not wait to get my plasma cutter. After using it for different projects I see I over rated my need for it. You cannot duplicate the precision of a hand held grinder with a cut off wheel; well if you were a robot you could.
My uses for the plasma ended up being quick hack jobs mostly. It is nice to quickly cut a general shape, lop off a piece. For instance this is a gauge used to make the contour of the air dam. The inside was cut with accuracy with a grinder but the tool itself was cut out of the plate with the plasma.
You can gain some accuracy with a template and a steady hand but even then the metal still needs some clean up work. Some people like working hard to get a good plasma cut and that's good but I still prefer the grinder when i can.
I have also found the plasma useful in cutting things I could get no other tool in. I had to clear some webbing from inner body structure to make way for a bracket. No grinder or cutter would fit in where I put the plasma.
As far as grinder accuracy you might be surprised. I have no trouble holding 1/32" when cutting with a grinder and provisions can be made to be even more accurate. The 3rd image is a cam for a single cyl engine I made cut from a 1" thick plate using a hand held grinder.
Please excuse the fact I have no guard on my grinder. Yes it's a bad idea and I have no excuse for it:
I work part time in several race car shops and a trailer shop. The Miller plasma is really a valuable tool. We make patterns from 1/4 and 3/16 masonite and just cut the parts out. It works great for circles especially...we have hole sizes up to 6" that are used often and many other shaps.
I cut suspensions off trailer often. These are full of rust and grease and other not so nice stuff from horses and cows. Works great ans is fast.
We still use the O&A torch to heat nuts and for cutting the plasma can't reach.
One thing we found was that if you cut 4130 steel with the plasma the edge gets very hard and will kill a saw blade or drill very quickly.
I also use the grinder and cut off wheels extensively.
So all in all the plasma is just another usefull too, but not and end all.
I bought a Hypertherm unit, and, have been happy with it, although like most Posters here I use cutoff wheels-more and more I find myself using my 4 1/2" Milwaukee with a cutoff wheel for the thin stuff.
If I have to cut out a lot of metal, then I will break out the Plasma, or when I am cutting thick stuff over 16 Gauge-it's just faster, and the clean-up (for me) is about the same, cut-off wheels vs. Plasma.
My Brother-In-Law has started a company where he makes replacement power seat adjusters for Cars where you can't buy them separately, (where you have to buy the complete adjuster assemblies from the Dealer-Dodge Pickups, Mustangs and the like), and he has been using a cut-off for this for about 2 Years or so-he came to visit and I let him try my Plasma-he fell in love (as his cuts are of the 1/8"+ variety, and it has saved him a lot of time.
Would I buy one again or recommend one? Like Ogre suggested, unless you are doing more than one Car, or are doing a tremendous amount of customizing or chopping, I think you can "get by" with a variety of cut-off wheels-would I sell mine? Not on your life!

By Nick Teale
Arsène Wenger has been impressed by Craig Eastmond's qualities this season but insists there is still much work to do before he is ready to play regularly for Arsenal.
The 19-year-old was one of the Under-18s' outstanding performers last season and signed professional terms with the Gunners in the summer.
The midfielder agreed a new long-term contract with the Club last week and marked the occasion by making his first Premier League start in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers.
Speaking after the game Wenger explained why Eastmond was included in the starting XI.
"He has shown that he has qualities to be a player [for Arsenal]," said the manager.
"Overall he has shown interesting things. In the second half he got tired and then he started to lose some balls that you do not want to lose but overall it was an interesting performance."

General Financial Aid Information
Felician University recognizes that many families may need assistance in meeting the cost of a university education. The Financial Aid Office is trained to assist students and families in completing the financial aid process and receiving the maximum amount of aid based on eligibility in all the financial aid programs.
- Be accepted by the university for admission to a degree or certificate program, and
- File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application is available on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The Felician University federal code is #002610.
- Additional FAFSA Information
Students applying for financial assistance are considered for every program for which they are eligible. The amount awarded may consist of a combination of grants, loans and employment and is based on the student's financial need. The Financial Aid Office determines all aid awards based on the Federal Methodology legislated by the federal government. By filing the FAFSA, a student is applying for federal, state and institutional aid. Each FAFSA result is reviewed for completeness and accuracy. The university may request additional information from the family to confirm the information reported on the FAFSA is correct. The FAFSA collects information about the student and student's family including demographic information (name, address, citizenship status and residency status), the number in the family, the number in university, income, assets, etc. The form requests information from the most recent tax year (for example, for September 2012 applicants, information from the families' 2011 federal tax return will be required).
Federal Direct Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized Loans are offered as part of a financial aid package. Federal Direct PLUS Loans and/or student educational alternative loans may be recommended to help cover remaining costs including tuition, fees, books and supplies, and on campus room and board, if applicable. Students may request additional loan funds to finance educational expenses up to the cost of attendance, contingent upon federal guidelines and loan approval.
Change in Financial Circumstances
Sometimes a family suffers a change of circumstances in their financial situation. A student or parent should inform the Financial Aid Office if there is a change in the family income as a result of unemployment, retirement, lay-off, separation or divorce, or death of a wage-earner. The Financial Aid Office will collect additional information and determine if the current financial information results in a change in eligibility.
Types of Aid
There are four basic types of financial aid available: grants, scholarships, loans and work-study. Funding sources include federal, state, university and private sources. Our financial aid staff will develop a financial package that includes a combination of these funding sources tailored to the student's particular situation based on the eligibility formulas.
Grants and Scholarships are funds that do not have to be paid back. Scholarships are usually merit-based aid awarded to students who have a special characteristic, skill, talent or academic ability. In some cases, financial need is also given consideration in awarding scholarships and/or grants.
Loans are borrowed funds that must be repaid with interest, usually after the completion of the university education. Each loan program has different eligibility and application requirements. Felician University currently participates in the Federal Direct Loan Program, the Federal Direct PLUS Program and a variety of alternative loans from several lending institutions.
Jobs are available to students through the Federal Work Study or Felician University Student Employment programs. Students who are offered jobs have the opportunity to work on or off campus to earn money to help pay educational expenses. Additional information may be obtained from the Career Services Office.
Felician University participates in the Federal Title IV and State of New Jersey financial aid programs. Institutional sources of funding are also available.
Federal Aid Programs
Federal Pell Grant: Grants are awarded to needy undergraduate students. Eligibility is based on the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculated by filing the FAFSA. Individual award amounts are based on federal appropriations and enrollment status.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG): This grant program is awarded to needy students with the lowest Expected Family Contribution (EFC) levels as determined by filing the FAFSA form. Individual award amounts may range from $100 to $4000 based on federal appropriations, allocations to the university, and enrollment status.
Federal Work-Study Program (FWS): Students with financial need may earn money to pay for university expenses by working at a variety of on- or off-campus jobs. The federal government finances the major portion of a student's earnings, and the university or off-campus employer finances the remainder. Work-Study provides an opportunity for students to learn professional skills while working for financial assistance. Determination of eligibility is made by the Financial Aid Office. Students interested in obtaining employment on campus should contact the Career Services Office.
Federal Direct Loan Program (formerly the Stafford Loan Program): Students must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen attending at least half-time to apply for a Federal Direct Loan. Subsidized Federal Direct Loans are based on financial need as determined by federal formula. Interest is paid by the federal government until a student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans are available to students who have not established financial need based on the federal formula and the interest is paid by the student while in school.
The Financial Aid Office will determine the amount of a student's Federal Direct Loan after the results of the FAFSA are received. The amount of the loan is based on the maximum loan limits established by the federal government. Students offered a Federal Direct Loan must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and participate in a loan counseling entrance interview at www.studentloans.gov. The maximum loan limits for each 12 month period of enrollment are as follows:
|Undergraduate Students
|Independent (over 24 yrs old
|Freshman (0 to 29 credits earned)
|$ 9,500
|Sophomore (30-59 credits earned)
|Junior & Senior (60 or more credits earned)
|Graduate Students (all years)
|Teacher Certificate Students
*Dependent Students whose parents are denied a Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan are eligible for an additional $4,000 or $5,000 Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan depending on class level.
All Federal Direct Loan borrowers are required to complete an Exit Interview when they leave the university or drop below half-time. The Financial Aid Office will send information about this process when a student leaves the institution due to graduation or withdrawal.
Federal Direct PLUS Loans:Eligible parents of dependent students may borrow up to the cost of education minus any other aid per year for each son or daughter in an approved university. There is no interest subsidy and repayment begins within 60 days of disbursement.
Federal Teach Grant: TEACH (Teacher Education Assistance for university and Higher Education) Grant (loan) is a merit based Federal Title IV program designed to encourage highly qualified teachers to serve in low-income schools in high-need fields. Teaching Obligation: Grant recipients agree to teach for at least four years within eight years of finishing their teacher preparation program and to teach high-need students in designated schools that serve low-income students. If you do not complete the four year teaching obligation, your grant will convert into an unsubsidized loan, which you will have to repay with interest calculated back to the date the funds were originally disbursed. The field you teach in must be a high need field in the state where you teach in order to satisfy your service requirement. According to some estimates, only 20 percent of students who participate in the TEACH Grant Program will be able to use the funds as grants, while many students will see their funds converted to loans with accumulated interest.
New Jersey State Aid
All New Jersey State grants require full-time attendance (12 credits minimum per semester). The NJ Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) and Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) are awards which are made for one year and must be renewed by filing the FAFSA annually. The following types of financial assistance are available to qualified students residing in the State of New Jersey.
New Jersey Grant and Scholarship Programs
Tuition Aid Grants (TAG): Provides grants to New Jersey residents enrolled as full-time undergraduates with demonstrated financial need. Award amounts are determined each year based on state appropriations.
Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF): This state funded program is specifically designed to provide additional academic and economic support to those students who show financial need and require academic support services. Students must be admitted through the EOF Office at Felician University based upon specific income guidelines. For more information, contact the EOF Office at the university.
New Jersey Loan Program
New Jersey Class Loans: The New Jersey College Loans to Assist State Students (NJCLASS) is a loan program intended for families of university undergraduate or graduate students. Under the program, a student, parent, legal guardian, spouse, or relative may borrow up to the student's cost of education. Loan information and application are available at www.hesaa.org.
Veteran's Educational Benefits
For detailed information regarding a student's eligibility for veterans educational benefits contact the United States Department of Veterans Affairs at www.gibill.va.gov or call the toll free number 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) to speak with a Veterans Benefits Counselor.
Montgomery GI Bill: As provided under Chapter 30 of the Montgomery GI Bill, individuals that entered the military after June 30, 1985 may be eligible for educational benefits under this program.
Post-9/11 GI Bill: The Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) is for students with at least 90 days of aggregate military service on our after September 11, 2001, or individuals discharged with a service-connected disability after 30 days. The program becomes effective on August 1, 2009 and is limited to those veterans with an honorable discharge. The program provides funding for tuition, fees, books & supplies and a monthly housing allowance.
Yellow Ribbon Program: The Yellow Ribbon GI Educational Enhancement Program is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Felician University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program which allows institutions to enter into an agreement with the VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the amount covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill (see above). Felician University will match the VA contribution so the total amount available to the student from the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the Yellow Ribbon Program will cover the entire cost of tuition and fees at Felician University.
Other Veterans' Benefits: Additional Veterans' Educational benefits for dependents and widows of veterans that died in service-related causes. Individuals in the Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606) and those that contributed to the Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEEP-Chapter 32) also may be eligible for VA educational benefits.

I had pinned a few from etsy, but then, imagine my surprise when I was at our annual holiday Nutcracker market and I stumbled upon rows and rows of the infamous bowls. I was with my girlfriend and she had no idea what I was getting so excited about- she's all a "dough what?"
The one I chose is pretty large (36x10 inches) and was $75 after tax. It's from Paul Michael Company. The giant glass lamps I left behind are still haunting me, but that's another story.
