Senior day was extra special to UCF defensive lineman Jaryl Mamea.
Mike Easton didn't have much to talk about going into the final home game of his college football career. That was a shame, since he deserved something for all the work he'd put in.
For UCF receiver Josh Reese, fighting for playing time with four older receivers during his final college football season is nothing compared to sharing a home with five siblings.
UCF players are bracing for an emotional day as the 21 seniors who helped lead the program to its first BCS bowl game victory prepare to exit stage left from Bright House Networks Stadium Saturday.
After frolicking through a light weight exhibition schedule, UCF's young guns were forced to work for a 64-55 win against Stetson during the Knights' season opener Sunday night.
Alabama edged out Florida State to move into the top spot in this week's FWAA-NFF Grantland Rice Super 16 poll.

The SEC should be ready to go after a weekend full of cupcakes is just one thing to come from this college football weekend.
Jameis Winston shoved an official out of the way Saturday, although Winston said the contact was not done with intent to harm the referee.
GAINESVILLE — The Gators may be losing the bulk of their starting defensive lineup at the end of this season, but coach Will Muschamp showed during Florida's 52-3 win over Eastern Kentucky Saturday UF will have talented players returning in 2015.
It had all the ingredients needed for FSU's first loss of the season.

HARRISONBURG,Va. (WHSV)-- Thunderstorms are a common sound in the summertime, so common that lightning strikes the ground about 25 million times a year in the U.S.
This is a soothing sound for some, but that so-called soothing sound can create damage, set fires, topple trees over, and kill.
Lucas Schrock-Hurst was almost killed by lightning last summer.
"As far as I could remember there wasn't a cloud in the sky, or at least nothing threatening looking. and we decided to climb this tree," said Shrock-Hurst.
He and two friends were sitting on a branch for just a few minutes when everything changed.
"It really felt to me like I was, hit by a noise," said Schrock-Hurst.
Most lightning strike victims are struck as they are seeking shelter. A typical bolt of lightning can be up to 50,000 degrees. Schrock-Hurst was hit directly by the lightning strike...and his heart stopped.
"I guess I felt like I was on fire," said Schrock-Hurst.
First responders know how important it is to get to treat a lightning victim--quickly.
"Every second counts, especially if the lightning strike causes sudden cardiac arrest. Every second is going to count," said Schrock-Hurst.
"Have you seen any real affects? I have bipolar disorder, and after I ended up having a major episode about two weeks after the lightning strike," said Schrock-Hurst.
He says he's feeling much better, and after being struck it's not the thunderstorms that make him nervous.
"I feel like I'm bothered by loud noises now than most people are," said Schrock-Hurst.
But he knows that he he now has an even greater chance of being struck again.
For additional lightning safety tips and videos, go to the links on the sidebar of this story.

"Oil seems to be a tad off today, ... One of the reasons yesterday sold off so much was having that surge in oil. We're getting a little respite from that this morning."
Related quotes
"The use of plant oil as fuel may seem insignificant today. But such products can in time become just as important as kerosene and these coal-tar-products of today."
"After the pullback yesterday and the stronger oil prices today, I think that you could see an upward moving market."
"If you had to replace the ethanol used today with crude oil, there would be at least a 30 percent increase in the cost of gasoline, ... Because ethanol is sold under long term contracts under a fixed price, the ethanol being put into gasoline today is the same price as it was three months ago."
"The only thing that can stop further declines in the market today is a tame ISM figure and lower oil prices,"
"Stocks suffered today as concerns about inflation, higher oil prices, earnings and a new hurricane mounted. The outlook is a bit uncertain, and uncertainty is never good for stocks."
"Going by the cost of finding and developing oil today, there is no reason why the long-term price should be at $50-plus."

At an event in Milan this morning, ASUS made official the PadFone 2 – the tablet/phone combo device that looks to improve on its predecessor while continuing the goal of providing "incredible mobile flexibility." ASUS touts a redesign of both the phone and tablet elements, the integration of which appears to be much more elegant than the original, with the phone sliding vertically into the back of the tablet, ditching the clumsy door of the original PadFone for a sleek dock.
If you're not impressed by the leak-happy LG Nexus, and don't buy into the somewhat fuzzy rumors that we'll see multiple Nexus phones this year but you're still seeking a pure Google experience in a gorgeous, powerful frame, Daily Steals has just what you're looking for.
The popular 24-hour sale site is offering the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 16GB, unlocked for GSM networks, for just $319.99. For reference, that's about $30 cheaper than Google's current price, and with a mere $5 shipping charge, it's a fantastic deal.
Back at the end of August, Archos announced an innovative new tablet called the GamePad. As its namesake suggests, it's built with gaming in mind - complete with on-board controls. In the announcement, Archos claimed the 7" device had "automatic gaming recognition and mapping tools" - the big question was, however, how's that going to work?
We now have a better idea of what to expect from the GamePad, as ArmDevices.net has gotten some hands-on time with the device.
We've just confirmed with Sprint that the Optimus G will be available on the Now Network on November 11th, for $199 on a 2-year agreement. Pre-orders begin on the 1st of November.
The Optimus G, as a quick refresher, is the first mass-market phone to contain a Qualcomm S4 Pro quad-core processor, which by all accounts is currently the most powerful mobile chipset on the market. I've been using the G for a few days now, and I have to say, it is fast.
This game seems to have everything going for it. It has an alien invasion, destroyed cityscapes, big guns, and Tegra optimization. By all rights, Razor Salvation should be a killer game. This title isn't free and it's a big download, so you should know what you're getting into. Let's see if it's worth your time.
The premise of Razor Salvation is epic, but poorly explored. The gist of it is that aliens have invaded Earth, and you have to land your dropship in various locations to save as many humans as possible.
The dedicated Android community has a way of tracking down OTA update files almost before the rollout begins. This is again the case for the newest Android 4.1.2 update for some variants of the unlocked Nexus S. Waiting for updates is for chumps, so get your Nexus S in hand, and proceed with caution.
To use this update file, your Nexus S has to meet the following conditions:
Update: Several of you have pointed out that this same visual could be accomplished by holding a Galaxy Nexus in your right hand, with the pinky wrapped around the bottom of the phone. I tried this with a phone of comparable width, and it's pretty hard to emulate the image here to a reasonably precise degree. But, I'd say it is possible, though I think this interpretation is at least a little funnier (here's how I'm picturing it).
For many people, cases and mounts are a part of life with a mobile device. The problem is, however, that many users aren't willing to sacrifice style for functionality. What if you could have both, though? Thanks to a new product from Rokform for the Galaxy S III, that's more possible than ever.
The Rokbed for the GSIII is Rokform's first endeavor outside the iOS world, and it looks like they hit it out of the part.
The Optimus G is a phone you'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard about at this point, but pricing and availability information for the US has been surprisingly scant up until now. We knew it was coming to AT&T and Sprint, but in regards to when and how much, "soon" and "some amount of money" were really all we had.
Today, on its official blog, AT&T announced that the Optimus G will be available for pre-order starting October 16 (at this link), and you'll have to cough up $199 and either start a 2-year contract or renew your existing AT&T agreement to get it at that price.
Earlier today, a couple of rather exciting photos found on Picasa began hitting news sites showing what could be a leaked device called the Sony Nexus X. Of course, during Nexus season, any rumor or glance at a possible new device is always exciting, but sometimes it's worth while to take a step back and consider whether what we're looking at is actually what it appears to be. Our penchant for putting leaked images under the microscope led us to do a bit of investigating.

In addition to yesterday's release of

Counter-Strike 1.6 came back in 2000 and while there's Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the original CS remains an extremely popular first-person shooter.
The Linux port of Counter-Strike is currently considered beta. The Steam page for it is

Why Do Sporting Teams Go Anywhere Near Jonah Brown?
Ireland played poorly, missed penalties and still won, (narrowly). Thanks Gordon.
Ireland played poorly, missed penalties and still won, (narrowly). Thanks Gordon.
This was found blowing around on Whitehall outside the Treasury:
Hat-tip : Paul Myners
42 dock workers are to be axed at ABP … equivalent to 10% of the workforce … from across all sectors and will include senior managers … Trade in key areas has "dropped like a stone"… The jobs blow comes hard on the heels of a succession of bad news for hard-hit dockworkers and just days after Prime Minister Gordon Brown hailed the port as "one of the most important parts of the economy"
Source Daily Echo
A worried student co-conspirator has just emailed:
Dear Guido,
Just thought you might want to know Gordon turned up unannounced at Oxford University today to deliver the annual Romanes lecture, titled 'Science and the Economy'. Despite beginning by talking about the fact Gladstone put more effort into researching and writing his Romanes Lecture than anything else he did in his life, Gordon's lecture was the dullest of SpAd-written drivel. He also told a completely bullshit story about Einstein and his chauffeur (debunked here), even having the cheek to set it in Britain, adding to the lie. Finally, and no doubt striking fear into the heart of the audience, he invoked the curse of Jonah by praising Oxford's scientific achievement and hoping it continues into the future. Will we ever discover anything again? I'd be surprised if the University's still here this time next year after that endorsement!
But frankly the Jonah curse is on our side…
When he was sacked as Deputy PM, for generally being an embarrassing incompetent, he kept hold of his pension perks – including additional pension contributions from taxpayers even though he wasn't working for them. Blair even let him keep two grace-and-favour homes, while stripping him of his departmental responsibilities. At the time opposition politicians railed at Prezza's "rewards for failure".
Lord Oakeshott, the LibDem pensions spokesman, said at the time: "First it was two Jags, then two pads. Now it seems we have two pensions Prescott. No fat-cat director in the private sector would dream of awarding himself such a generous pension for a part-time job."
Chris Grayling accused Blair of misusing taxpayers' money by keeping Prescott in government, said: "Just this extra pension cost to the taxpayer of keeping John Prescott in his position could have paid for four additional nurses. That is without other trappings such as his official residence and his ministerial car."
Even Labour MPs like Geraldine Smith were stunned; "I think it is outrageous that the Deputy Prime Minister loses his department but keeps his position, his salary and the perks of the job. It seems absolutely astonishing."
Prezza's pension pot makes him a multi-millionaire, courtesy of the taxpayers.
UPDATE : It is satire that writes itself to know that Lord Myners of Short Selling chaired what was known as the Treasury's "Myners Review" into the good governance of pensions.
David Wright (PPS to John Hutton), David Anderson (Bill Rammell), Claire Curtis-Thomas (Baroness Scotland of Asthal), David Hamilton (Ed Miliband), Mark Hendrick (Jack Straw), Stephen Hesford (Vera Baird), Sharon Hodgson (Dawn Primarolo), Ashok Kumar (Hilary Benn), John Mann (Tessa Jowell), Stephen Pound (Stephen Timms)
Laura Moffatt is a former PPS to Alan Johnson, her opposition might be a sign of where he really stands. Nick Brown, Gordon's long time henchman and now chief whip is also said to be not keen mon the bill. It is getting a bit like the dying days of the Major regime when euro-sceptics openly defied the government…
For public consumption Labour are bashing the bankers whilst privately they will be dancing to their tunes, still hoping to tap them up for donations. Tonight's gala venue is next door to Lehman's building in Canary Wharf, so perhaps they won't raise quite as much money as they hope – particularly since any bankers still with jobs are unlikely to have cash to spare from non-existent bonuses. Unless of course you negotiated your exit package with Alastair Darling, in which case you are sorted for life…

OGE missed signs of GSA ethics violations, memo says
A memo by a government watchdog group finds the General Services Administration's ethics program received high marks in a November 2010 study from the Office of Government Ethics. The report was issued shortly after GSA threw the lavish Las Vegas conference that has led to the firings of top officials and the resignation of Administrator Martha Johnson and a slew of congressional hearings.

John McCain's underdog campaign in 2000 was one of the great surprises of recent presidential politics; portraying himself as a maverick and an outsider, McCain managed to get closer to the nomination than anyone expected. Then in 2004, there was rampant speculation in the media that McCain would join John Kerry's campaign as vice president. Even more surprising to many was his emergence after 2004 as the GOP front-runner for 2008. Conventional wisdom had it that a maverick like McCain could never become his party's leader.
Yet the conventional wisdom has been wrong—in fact, McCain has never been the straight shooting maverick he claims to be. In Free Ride, David Brock and Media Matters for America cut through the myths surrounding McCain to show how he has benefited from a unique media bias in his favor. They show how McCain's record has always been that of a staunch conservative, even as the media has portrayed him as an independent. They show how the media has looked the other way when McCain has uttered offensive comments that would have sunk other candidates. We see how the press has overlooked the Arizona senator's hypocrisies and policy reversals even as it has called other candidates flip floppers for the same actions.
Ultimately, we see how McCain has learned to use the media to his advantage, by playing to their hunger for "authenticity." In a political world that is increasingly scripted, McCain has figured out how to play the candid, outspoken candidate and thereby make journalists feel he's different from the rest. This is a must read for any political junkie frustrated by the ways in which the media shapes our political culture.
"The press loves McCain. We're his base." —Chris Matthews, MSNBC
"John McCain is clearly the Washington media's favorite Republican." —Brit Hume, Fox News
"The media, of course, loves John McCain because it seems like he's back to the old John McCain." —David Shuster, MSNBC
"I think every last one of them [reporters] would move to Massachusetts and marry John McCain if they could." —Joe Scarborough, MSNBC

In a novel arrangement for Spain, BBC Worldwide will bring its large international muscle to the table, acting as a co-producer, commissioner for international channels and global distributor.
Ramon Campos, one of the most international of Spain's show-runners, co-created "The Refugees" with Gema R. Neira, Cristobal Garrido and Adolfo Valor. It will be produced by Spain's Bambu Producciones, whose credits include the Spanish-language "Grand Hotel," aired by the U.K.'s Sky Arts and French broadcaster M6. Campos and partner Teresa Fernandez Valdes own Bambu.
English-language TV series made out of Spain are rare. Slammed by economic crisis, TV ad revenues plunged 53% from their 2007 peak to Euros1.65 billion ($2.3 billion) in 2013, obliging broadcasters to pare budgets - already minute by U.K. standards - to the bone. Ambitious skeins will now rarely get made out of Spain without the support of strong international TV players.
That of course has an upside for foreign TV partners.
"The appeal of using British talent whilst growing our content pipeline by sourcing it from a new European partner really spoke to us. As did the opportunity to shoot an English-speaking drama in Spain with a British cast and writer," said Ben Donald, executive producer for international drama, BBC Worldwide.
He added: "This is part of an emerging trend for some European networks to move into English-language drama; we are now exploring this model to deliver cost-effective, high quality output. And combined with Atresmedia's ambition and such an intriguing original story this was a collaboration too good to shy away from."
"Being able to address a project of this type⦠provides the possibility to innovate in our market and to create a product with international scope," added Sonia Martinez, manager of fiction at Atresmedia TV.

The cell envelope-associated protein, LytR, regulates the cysteine protease SpeB in Streptococcus pyogenes.
ABSTRACT The LytR family of cell envelope-associated transcriptional attenuators in bacteria has been brought into focus of scientific interest on the expression of various virulence factors, as well as bacterial cell envelope maintenance. However, this protein of Streptococcus pyogenes has been only described as cell surface-associated protein, and its function is completely unknown. We created lytR mutant strains from two independent S. pyogenes strains to analyze the function of LytR. The protease assay in culture supernatant showed that lytR mutant had the higher cysteine protease activity than wild-type. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and western blotting analysis revealed that the amount of cysteine protease, SpeB in lytR mutant was more compared with that in wild-type. The level of speB mRNA in lytR mutant also increased compared with that of wild-type. The membrane integrity and potential in lytR mutant also were decreased compared with that of wild-type. Murine infection model showed that less survival was detected in mice inoculated with lytR mutant than that with wild-type, and the size of wound lesion of mice with lytR mutant was larger than that with wild-type. Our data suggest that the lytR regulates the expression of SpeB in S. pyogenes with relation to membrane integrity.

Article: Virulence control in group A Streptococcus by a two-component gene regulatory system: global expression profiling and in vivo infection modeling.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two-component gene regulatory systems composed of a membrane-bound sensor and cytoplasmic response regulator are important mechanisms used by bacteria to sense and respond to environmental stimuli. Group A Streptococcus, the causative agent of mild infections and life-threatening invasive diseases, produces many virulence factors that promote survival in humans. A two-component regulatory system, designated covRS (cov, control of virulence; csrRS), negatively controls expression of five proven or putative virulence factors (capsule, cysteine protease, streptokinase, streptolysin S, and streptodornase). Inactivation of covRS results in enhanced virulence in mouse models of invasive disease. Using DNA microarrays and quantitative RT-PCR, we found that CovR influences transcription of 15% (n = 271) of all chromosomal genes, including many that encode surface and secreted proteins mediating host-pathogen interactions. CovR also plays a central role in gene regulatory networks by influencing expression of genes encoding transcriptional regulators, including other two-component systems. Differential transcription of genes influenced by covR also was identified in mouse soft-tissue infection. This analysis provides a genome-scale overview of a virulence gene network in an important human pathogen and adds insight into the molecular mechanisms used by group A Streptococcus to interact with the host, promote survival, and cause disease.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 11/2002; 99(21):13855-60. · 9.81 Impact Factor
Article: Characterization of a virulence-associated and cell-wall-located DNase of Streptococcus pyogenes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated culture supernatant proteins from the M1 serotype of Streptococcus pyogenes by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and peptide mass mapping analysis, and characterized the single protein spots. Among them, we analysed the Spy0747 protein. This protein is homologous to the SsnA protein, a cell-wall-located DNase expressed in Streptococcus suis serotype 2. We designated the Spy0747 protein as SpnA. SpnA protein was also detected in the insoluble fraction of whole-cell lysates using shotgun proteomic analysis, suggesting that SpnA is also located in the cell wall. SpnA was expressed as a glutathione S-transferase-fusion protein in Escherichia coli. We confirmed that the recombinant protein had DNase activity that was dependent on Ca(2+) and Mg(2+), like SsnA. Blood bactericidal assays and mouse infection model experiments showed that the spnA knockout strain was less virulent than the parental strain, thus suggesting that SpnA could play an important role in virulence. Using PCR, we found that the spnA gene was present in all clinical S. pyogenes strains we examined. Our results, together with a previous report identifying Spy0747 as a surface-associated protein, suggest that SpnA is an important cell-wall-located DNase that is generally produced in S. pyogenes and is involved in virulence.Microbiology 10/2009; 156(Pt 1):184-90. · 3.06 Impact Factor
Article: Role of RopB in growth phase expression of the SpeB cysteine protease of Streptococcus pyogenes.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Rgg family of transcription regulators is widely distributed among gram-positive bacteria; however, how the members of this family control transcription is poorly understood. In the pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, the Rgg family member RopB is required for transcription of the gene that encodes the secreted SpeB cysteine protease. Expression of the protease follows distinct kinetics that involves control of transcription in response to the growth phase. In this study, the contribution of RopB to growth phase control was examined. The gene encoding the protease (speB) and ropB are transcribed divergently from a 940-bp intergenic region. Primer extension analyses, in conjunction with reporter fusion studies, revealed that the major region controlling the transcription of both speB and ropB is adjacent to ropB and that the promoters for the two genes likely overlap. Furthermore, it was found that RopB is a DNA-binding protein that specifically binds to sequences in this control region. The interrelationship between ropB and speB expression was further reflected in the observation that transcription of ropB itself is subject to growth phase control. However, while expression of ropB from a promoter expressed during the early logarithmic phase of growth could complement a ropB deletion mutant, ectopic expression of ropB did not uncouple the expression of speB from its growth phase signal. These data implicate other factors in growth phase control and suggest that regulation of ropB expression itself is not the central mechanism of control.Journal of Bacteriology 10/2003; 185(17):5166-74. · 3.19 Impact Factor

INDIANA — It's OK to Carrie and Buddy Orr that the Steelers weren't playing in Super Bowl XLVI, because in the end, the couple from Washington Township, Indiana County, won a bigger prize.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — As the warmer weather returns, more and more people will be spending time outdoors at lakes and streams where water-related accidents might occur, which is why the Punxsutawney Fire Department has a water rescue team.
The team was formed in 1974, and in the 90s, the boat crew and dive team were combined into the water rescue team, said Matt Powell, dive master for the Punxsutawney Fire Department.
SMICKSBURG — Star Wars, Bob the Builder, the Steelers, Mickey Mouse, Toy Story, Super Mario, Hello Kitty, WWE, Pokemon, pigs, penguins, lions, tigers and bears — oh my! All of these designs have been made into cakes by Jessica Fairman, of Fairman's Cakes.
Just about any idea that can be dreamed up, she can make into a cake.
Five years ago, Fairman decided to take cake designing classes at Michael's in Indiana and discovered she really enjoyed the trade. She said she has always had an interest in art and found her niche when she applied it to sculpting cakes.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — With the completion of the paving on Mahoning Street this week, the end of PennDOT's $1.1 million downtown traffic signal upgrade is in sight.
Workers from Power Contracting, the contractor on the signal project, continued installing the new overhead signage Friday.
The new traffic signals will be activated Wednesday and Thursday, two intersections per day, according to PennDOT Project Manager Kirby Starr, who also said the former traffic light system will be removed once the new lights are activated.
BROOKVILLE — Friday, 21 students from seven school districts in Jefferson and Clarion counties took part in the 2012 Clar-Jeff Safe Driving Competition at the Heritage House in Brookville.
The students were tested on perceptual driving, behind-the-wheel skills, Pennsylvania driving laws and vehicle defects.
BROOKVILLE — The 911 dispatchers who field emergency calls are just as likely to experience symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as those on the front lines, a new study indicates.
The study, completed by Michelle Lilly, a psychology professor at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Ill., and research associate Heather Pierce, analyzed surveys completed by 171 emergency dispatchers from 24 states, the Huffington Post reported.
BROOKVILLE — Tuesday, Brookville Borough Police Chief Ken Dworek reported to Brookville Borough Council about a senior scavenger hunt that had gone awry.
He said some members of the Brookville Jr.-Sr. High School senior class participated in a scavenger hunt that was not a school-sanctioned activity.
During the hunt, Dworek said some students became involved in criminal activity.
Dworek said license plates and hubcaps were stolen from vehicles, and lawn ornaments were smashed; some were valued up to $300.
PUNXSUTAWNEY— Punxsutawney Phil predicts when spring will begin, the Big Run Peepers tell us when it has begun, but it's not until the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) orange barrels and flaggers show up that we know spring is here for real.
Pennsylvania's Work Zone Safety Awareness Week marked the unofficial start of the road construction season, said Shawn Houck, PennDOT District 10 Safety Press officer.
BIG RUN — Big Run Borough Council agreed to assist the McClure Cemetery Association with paving and maintenance during Monday's council meeting.
Tom Berryhill, member of the McClure Cemetery Association, said there was a ditch that needed cleaned out, and the road needs oiled and to be chipped or paved.
Bob Buffington, former council member, said he believed an ordinance already exists that indicates the borough will take care of the cemetery and the road.
"We considered it to be a borough street and took care of the plowing during the winter," Buffington said.

"Old Navy stores have the oldest cashing out technology in the entire retail world ever! They still swipe cards and match signatures (vs other places where you entire your pin or flash your cards). And god forbid if you don't have an ID with you in case the signature has faded behind your card. Had I not spent an hour looking for my stuff, I would have dumped it all on the counter and walked away. Instead I had to bring my Id and cash out. Cashier and the manager didn't even thank me for my trouble or apologies. I am so done with Old Navy. They suck! I hope they too go the Sears and Target way. "
"Absolutely HATE old navy, will never purchase anything from them again. I wanted to receive my order before thanksgiving but turns out it's been cancelled. I haven't received any notification telling me that my order has been cancelled, and they haven't giving me my refund. "
"I want to exchange an item, but the size shorts I want, it's all sold out online, I went to a local old navy Burbank, CA if they can find me my size shorts at other old navy location. EMYLEE employee at old navy Burbank help me out so much, She found the right size shorts at old navy palmdale, CA, I was so happy they have in stock, and also they will shipped to my address, EMYLEE help me out so much, she very patient and friendly, I want to nominate her great customer service."
"Dear ON,
Let me start by saying that I used to be a huge fan. All through high school and college, you were my go-to place for clothes on a budget. Now, I don't want to step foot inside your store ever again. The quality of your clothes have gone down while the price has gone up. $30 for a shirt? Really? Why would I pay that at ON when I can go to Gap and a better quality shirt for the same price? Every shirt that I have purchased in the last 12 months has tiny holes in them. I don't live in an environment where there are pointy objects. What is wrong with your freaking clothes?? The material that you use is horrible. I wash your shirts once, and they already look like they've been worn about 50 times. Your jeans are a joke. One pair will be loose, and I will get a different pair in the exact same size, and I can't get them over my hips. Not to mention, your designers must have long crotches because every pair of ON pants I own, the crotch hangs down as if they were men's pants. Let me now touch on your shoes. I am a solid 10. I wear a 10 in every type of shoe from every brand...except yours. My foot doesn't even fit in your size 10. Get a size 11, you may say. Well, that would be great if you actually carried more than one pair in your entire store. I can honestly say that I haven't paid full price for a single item in your store in the last couple of years. It's not worth it. I'm highly disappointed, and I may only be one person out of the millions that shop at ON, but you should really be ashamed of yourself. Way to rip off your loyal customers. "
"One of the WORST online transactions EVER.
I had never ordered from Old Navy before. I had gotten a gift card for my birthday so I decided to order a few things and give it a try. My only option (being "plus" sized) was to order online since they don't offer plus sizes in the store (why?!?). I placed my order and received it soon after (within a week) only to find that they had sent me the wrong shirt. I wrote an email to customer service only to get a response of "oops...here's a coupon code for your next purchase". Uhm no thanks Old Navy...why would I purchase again from you when you can't get it right the first time???
The biggest issue is that they had 2 days (almost 3) of "preparing" my package. NO where in that time did anyone call/email/etc to tell me "oh our bad that shirt you wanted sold out but we have it in another color if you'd like?"
Horrible customer service in my opinion. Never again will I buy from them in store or online.
Crappy clothing, Overpriced, and no help when something goes wrong."
"I used to be one happy online shopper with Old Navy. I Made Online order and paid by Visa when they had sale 30% online. I said, "great I am getting a good deal" but only to check my order to find that 2 of the items I ordered are out of stock. Now I am asking for a refund and the customer service are in denial of the charges made and said they never charged me with the original total amount paid! I provided online statement and I don't know if they are blind or what or just plain ignorant? also they said they will give me additional 10% discount on my next purchase by email and I am still waiting for it! WILL NEVER SHOP ONLINE again..."
"I had an absolutely flawless experience with my Old Navy Canada online order. I ordered a pair of jeans and 2 shirts for myself and 1 shirt for my boyfriend, all for about $55 including tax and shipping. I received timely e-mail confirmations with tracking information. The items arrived in immaculate condition. The shirts fit perfectly but my jeans were a little small. I called and spoke to a very friendly representative who placed a replacement order for me, honoured the original sale price and didn't charge for shipping it even though it was under their free shipping minimum and not their fault. The return process was easy, the label was included in the package. The original package was made to be reused to ship items back to them. I received my new jeans 3 business days later (they ship replacements express!) and my credit for my return 10 days later. I don't see how it could have been any better. It far exceeded my expectations and based on this experience I will definitely order form them again. I love my new jeans and shirts and think the quality is decent for the prices. "
"Horrible customer service! Ordered a Christmas present (an outfit for my boyfriend). The jeans came. I kept calling about the shirt (at least 5 different times to get a status update) because I needed to wrap the gift. The shirt never came. In fact, after being told twice it was on its way, I learned it never even left the store. I asked to speak to a manager. Instead I got an email saying that my order had been cancelled because the item was no longer available. I had to end up going to the store and getting a Levi's shirt that my boyfriend loved much better than the phantom shirt from old navy."
"I ordered jeans from Old Navy and I am rather pleased to say that they were perfect. They are the DIVA style and they were just as advertised. I ordered them as one of their quick before Christmas sales and they delivered them the day BEFORE Christmas Eve. I had heard many terrible stories about them but I wanted to give them a chance because it was such a great sale. I was pleasantly surprised. It was worth my time."
"I will never again by clothing online from old navy. They charged my card three times and I only made one purchase. When I called and asked them why they did it they said it was funds that were being held but my bank says no transactions were pending. I called old navy back and they said I should contact my bank and my bank told me to contact them. Ugh thanks a lot old navy. If I could give you zero stars I would."
"I am appalled at how I was treated by Old Navy employees today. Before shopping, I went online to search for a coupon because I usually receive their coupons and throw them out because their quality is low compared to their competitors and their baby clothes are poorly designed. I was only going to use a credit card reward. I found a coupon on their own website(oldnavy.gap.com) and when went to use it, the cashier said it wasn't good, so I asked to speak with the manager because I printed it off of the company website right before coming and it should not have been there. He arrogantly told me it was from a different site and refused to give any discount or check it out. While I was paying, he whispered to another customer and smirked. When I got home, I went online again and the same coupon was at oldnavy.gap.com and this time I printed the screen for proof. I called the company and led a representative to the coupon and he said the link was old and refused to acknowledge it should not still be on their site. I spoke with his manager and he insisted that it was someone saving the link even though it is undeniable that it is on their site. He did not even get the name of the rude manager who was mocking me to other customers. I guess this company finds it acceptable for their hourly managers to act that way. I will never shop their again. I'm not doing that company a favor by shopping there. Their prices were a rip off. They wanted $7 for a pair of infant shorts in late October. That's the price it should be in June! The Children's Place charged $3 in July and $1 in September for their shorts! Gymboree charges less for the item and their quality is 10 times better. When I came home, one of the items was ripped and the tag was damaged, making me think it was returned or damaged in the store and just put back. I hope the whole Old Navy goes out of business if this is the way they run it."
"I love that the top came in tall if fits just right"
"I recently spent over $350 in Old Navy completely outfitting my children. I received super cash. Great I thought.. Now I can outfit me. Wrong. They no longer carry plus size clothing in stores and the super cash can not be used online. WOW! Complete discrimination against the plus size figure. Can't buy online and you can't use any in store specials... They are only for the skinny. One very upset person. So needless to say, guess who is getting a massive return? And I am sending a discrimination complaint to the better business bureau. If you don't want to sale to the plus size figure, DON'T OFFER IT!!!"
"I ordered 3 items that I wanted to wear to a party. My order was placed on 1/31/13 and was expected to be delivered on 1/9/13(the day of the party). I tracked the package from Arizona to Wisconsin and it arrived right on 1/9, as expected.
Last year, I ordered a maternity hoodie and that order only took 5 days to reach me.
Sorry to those who have had lousy experiences, but mine have only been positive :)"
"They do not send an invoice electronically to the customer. There is no way to get a copy. I have to go to a store with an ID return the item and wait for a credit to be USPS mailed to me. Ridiculous. Get with the 21st century Old Navy. "
