Sales Floor Team Member Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Target in October 2014.
First off, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted their interview experiences here, I definitely credit reading all of these to helping me get the job! If you're here because you're about to have an interview, if you read up here I think you'll do just fine (:
Allow me to also mention that the position I applied for was seasonal, but it doesn't seem like the interviewing process is any different at all.
When I applied for Target online, I was also applying for many other places, so I can't be sure how long it took for them to call me, but it was at least a week. They called me on a Monday, but I missed it and I called them back on a Tuesday. We set up a phone interview for 11am on Wednesday. On Wednesday, however, they didn't call me at the time they said (on the phone they did say this was a possibility, but to call the store after 15 minutes). I decided to give them an extra 30, and was about to call them around 11:30 when they called me. The phone interview was not with who I was told it was going to be, which of course is fine but gave me a bit of a look at how hectic of a workplace it may be.
The phone interview was 7 questions, asking things such as strengths and weaknesses, what my previous boss/coworkers thought of my work, a time where I went above and beyond at work, a time I worked as a team, a time where I worked in a time crunch, and questions about my availability. After I finished all the questions, the interviewer (who I found out is the Team Leader, so it may be the same in your case) told me she would recommend me for a second interview, and told me I'd be getting a call within the next week to schedule an in-person interview with an executive (sounds a bit intimidating, but it wasn't!). I got a call on Friday to schedule my second interview the following Monday.
When I got to the store, I was told to take a questionnaire on the in-store kiosks, which was about 20 questions long and very similar to the online application. I don't really remember any of them, but they were multiple choice, composed of scenario based questions and you had to chose the best response and the worst response for that situation. It was really easy. After the questionnaire I was told to go upstairs and let HR know I was there. I ended up waiting for about 30 minutes, because the managers ended up taking a late lunch, but after reading these reviews I expected to wait a while.
The interview was fairly easy, with pretty much the same questions as the phone interview, just reworded. They also asked me the same "What would you do if" questions they asked everyone else, about the out of stock shoe size and the customer who claimed the item was $17 when it rings up for $19 (A lot of people on glassdoor have said to just trust the customer, and my answer was something along the lines of 'trust the customer if it's not a big deal, if it is a great amount then ask another employee to check the price in a way that doesn't sound like i don't trust the customer' but all in all, i couldn't really tell what answer they were looking for). She asked if I was interested in hardlines or softlines, so have an idea of what area you'd like to work in before your interview (at the store I was applying to, hardlines is simply the tiled parts of the floor and softlines is the carpeted part of the floor. Softlines was clothes, hardlines was everything else). If you truly aren't sure at the time, I was told that you are able to transfer after you've decided, but it's possible that that's only at that particular Target. I was told I did well in the interview, and that when I went back in the break room, I would be job offered on the spot.
During my job offering, I was told it'd be $8.50 an hour, and I would not be drug tested (though this seemed a bit unusual, so expect a drug test). I was told I'd have an orientation within a few weeks.
Overall I had a very good experience, even though I was very nervous!
- If you read the questions they asked other people in the reviews on glassdoor, you'll be fine (: Answer Question

Sales Floor Team Member Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Target.
Interview Detailsthe interview process was fairly simple. I had no retail experience what so ever, I go in not knowing I'm speaking to the senior manager and I just had a smile on my face and a positive excited outlook and was personable and then after the short interview process I speak with the main supervisor for my department and more or less just talked more than an interview and I started a few days later
Interview Questions- none that stood out of the crowd of normal questions. The hardest part was just to connect with the interviewer. Answer Question

Application DetailsI applied online – interviewed at Target.
Interview DetailsI applied online for the Sales Floor position and got a call back that same day. The hiring manager called me and explained the hours and salary that I will be offered when I get the job. She also said that I will be having a phone interview a few days later.
The first thing that the interviewer asked me was my availability then he went on to ask me questions like: If we were to ask one of your teachers about what they think of you, what would they say and what would they say is your weakness? Name a time when you had to work as a group. What would you do if you had multiple things to do in a short amount of time? Name a time when you provided service that exceeded the expectations. What would you do if a customer says that an item is $17 when it rung up as $20?
After the phone interview, they arranged a second interview in person 3 days after. I went to Target 15 minutes early and told one of the employees that I was there for an interview. The hiring manager took me to a room to watch a video about the position that I was getting, then I was taken to one of the computers to answer scenario questions. They were exactly the same from the ones I took during the application process.
The second interview wasn't that bad. I learned a lot from my first interview because it was basically the same questions but they wanted more in depth answers. They also told me what the right answers were to the scenario questions. After that I was offered the job on the spot, but I had to take a drug test within 24 hours after the interview.Interview Questions- 1. What would you do if an item rung up for $20 but the guest said it was $17

Sales Floor Team Member Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Target.
Interview DetailsI had two interviews. One phone interview and one in person interview. My advice if you were planning on applying for target is to think of 5 situations you have been in (Work related) were you had to work as a team. Explain the situation and then what you did then the outcome of it. It helped me through my team member interview and my GSA interview. Almost all the interview questions are situations you have been in.

Application DetailsI applied online – interviewed at Target.
Interview DetailsApplied to target online got a phone call maybe a week later to schedule a phone interview a few days after. Phone interview was short, simple, and pretty stupid. Took literally maybe 5 minutes to ask pretty generic questions that are impossible to get wrong. Got told I passed after that interview and was scheduled an in person interview with an ETL a few days later. The in person interview was exactly the same as the phone interview. Got hired on the spot. Went to HR to fill out paperwork, get my orientation date, and was told to submit a drug test withing 24 hours or I will be terminated. I did so that same day and my orientation was a month and some later.
Interview Questions- What can you offer Target?
How would you respond to an upset customer?
If a customer wants a price change and it is reasonable do you say no or give it to them? (this is a big one target is strict about adjusting prices if a guest challenges you as long as in reasonable price range like $15 instead of $20)
Are you able to work at a fast-pace?

Negotiation DetailsI got less than what minimum wage was and could not negotiate it. Really ridiculous but I needed the job and at that time though Target was the best thing to ever happen to me so I took it.Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview - What can you offer Target?
Sales Floor Team Member Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Target in January 2015.
Interview DetailsI was called for a basic summary of the job, where i was told it was for a cashier position. The person who called listed the qualifications i would need and basic overview of job duties, and hourly pay. I said that it all sounded good, and he said someone would be in contact within 3 days.
I was called for a phone interview while i was out, and the lady talked really quiet so it was extremely hard to hear her but i answered the questions to the best of my ability and was then scheduled for an in-person interview at the store the following day. she also told me it was for a cashier position.
i went in and had to complete a best/worst scenario questionnaire and then was taken to watch a video. the guy asked what the position was for and i said front end/cahsier.. so he chose that for the video section.
To my surprise, when the interviewer came and got me and took me to her office, she told me it was for the sales floor. I explained to her that both the previous people i had talked to told me it was for a cashier position. So i kind of bombed the questions about why i wanted to work on the sales floor & what i learned from the video, since i watched the one for front end; not sales floor. plus, im a horrible interviewer and panic everytime. She then told me that she needed to meet with her team members and would be ahold of me in 3-5 days; its been 3 days and i haven't heard anything, so i'm assuming i didn't get the position.
I did apologize for the confusion, and tried my best to explain that i was prepared for the cashier position, and had no idea it was for the sales floor. seems to me it was just as disorganized as i was.Interview Questions- Name a time you completed a task, and then realized that you had made a mistake; how did you handle it?

Interview DetailsA phone interview was set up and then I had to attend an interview with the hiring manager at the store. She asked me about myself and my experience and then gave me a couple of hypothetical questions about what I would do under certain situations and how I would handle a situation with an angry customer.

Have received some wonderful info from other Busseys since I began my research a couple years back, but am wondering if anyone can connect a lineage directly to James Marion Bussey or his first wife Elizabeth Kilgore? They resided in GA perhaps in a couple different counties (maybe Talbot, Putnam, Randolph, or Muscogee). They had (I believe) three children...Nathan, James, and Mittie born abt.1853 or 1854. I know that they married in AL in 1847 or 1849 (that depends on where the info is obtained). I thought that some descendants of Jame's and Elizabeth's children are out there. Mittie moved to Longview, TX in 1871 and perhaps her siblings did as well. This is unknown to me. James Marion remained in GA in either Muscogee or Talbot County.

Uber Partners With Metromile To Cover Drivers When They're Not On A Trip
Uber drivers in California, Illinois, and Washington will be able to access pay-per-mile insurance that will cover them when they're not on a ride.
Uber drivers in California, Illinois, and Washington will be able to access pay-per-mile insurance that will cover them when they're not on a ride.
Two companies in Asia backed by Softbank Capital and one in the U.S. have discussed cross-booking and integrated apps.
The company's "Marketplace" feature, which allows riders to request rides based on things like price, ETA, or type of vehicle, now lets you choose a female driver.
Peers, an online community for sharing economy workers, announces a homeshare liability insurance program and a short-term vehicle lease program for rideshare workers whose cars are under repair.
It requires background checks going back seven years and $1 million in insurance.
"Your account has been permanently deactivated due to hateful statements regarding Uber through Social Media." UPDATE: Uber says it canceled the account because of "an error by the local team" and has reactivated the driver.
Safety is Uber's No. 1 priority. Safety is Uber's #1 priority. Safety is…
The company says the service will significantly reduce traffic in Los Angeles.
The company is suing the city of Columbus, Ohio to keep its records private. Uber won a similar lawsuit last week.
In streets across the country, taxis, rideshare companies, and regulators are locked in a fight to the death. To sort out the confusion and controversy, I got behind the wheel.

Niall Ferguson: The Geniuses We'll Never Know
Niall Ferguson is a professor of history at Harvard University and a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. He is also a senior research fellow at Jesus College, Oxford University, and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. His latest book, The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World, was published in November.
This essay is not about Steve Jobs. It is about the countless individuals with roughly the same combination of talents of whom we've never heard and never will.
Most of the 106 billion people who've ever lived are dead—around 94 percent of them. And most of those dead people were Asian—probably more than 60 percent. And most of those dead Asians were dirt poor. Born into illiterate peasant families enslaved by subsistence agriculture under some or other form of hierarchical government, the Steves of the past never stood a chance.
Chances are, those other Steves didn't make it into their 30s, never mind their mid-50s. An appalling number died in childhood, killed off by afflictions far easier to treat than pancreatic cancer. The ones who made it to adulthood didn't have the option to drop out of college because they never went to college. Even the tiny number of Steves who had the good fortune to rise to the top of premodern societies wasted their entire lives doing calligraphy (which he briefly dabbled in at Reed College). Those who sought to innovate were more likely to be punished than rewarded...

A Chignon-Ponytail Hybrid You'll Wear Again and Again
Was it a ponytail or was it a chignon? Whatever you prefer to call it, this cool, twisted updo was the buzz at The Row's Spring 2013 show.
The look: A part-ponytail, part-chignon updo; healthy, lacquered nails; bushy brows.
The inspiration: The Olsens in a British garden.
Who would wear it: Marie Antoinette on the Met Gala red carpet, or in reality, the woman who wants the standout hairstyle.

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- Registration Requirements for Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs) When individuals launch an advisory firm, they must avoid marketing themselves or the firm as investment advisors before they are properly approved and registered. Otherwise, they are subject to severe penalties.
- Pay-to-Play Rule Violating the pay-to-play rule can result in serious consequences, and RIAs should adopt robust policies and procedures to prevent and detect contributions made to influence the selection of the firm by a government entity.
Yet another top official at the SEC is championing the idea of harmonizing rules for investment advisors and broker/dealers. In a speech before the Mutual Fund Directors Forum Ninth Annual Policy Conference May 5, SEC Commissioner Elisse Walter threw her support behind a legislative remedy. "I believe that regulation of a financial professional should depend on what she does, not what she calls herself or how she is paid," Walter said. "As a corollary, I also believe strongly that retail investors should not bear the burden of understanding distinctions between financial professionals that have become increasingly less relevant over the years. These opaque distinctions frequently lead to investor confusion and arguments about definitions that simply should not matter. This reasoning, I believe, leads to the fundamental principle that should guide our review of how to regulate financial professionals for the protection of the investing public: Investors should receive the same level of protection when they purchase comparable products and services, regardless of the financial professional involved."
Walter--a former top official at both FINRA and the CFTC--said that to harmonize the regulation of broker/dealers and investment advisors "fully, legislative action appears to be necessary." She laid out four areas for Congress to consider in "vetting enabling legislation and by the Commission in implementing that law."
Registration Process. Currently, she said, there are different processes and different forms for broker/dealers and investment advisor registration. There should be a unitary system for registration. Every financial professional should be required to provide the information appropriate to the services and products he provides, in other words, his functions. There should also be a vetting process in which a new registrant would be required to demonstrate that he has the operational capacity to carry on its proposed business.
Licensing and Continuing Education Requirements. There should be licensing requirements for all associated persons, including the requirement to pass a proficiency test, and appropriate continuing education requirements.
Disclosure Obligations. Although both broker/dealers and investment advisers are currently required to disclose conflicts of interest to an investor, they do so in different ways, to different extents, and sometimes at different times. Financial professionals should provide investors with a uniform disclosure document, explaining their material conflicts of interest at account opening (as currently the case with investment advisers).
SRO Membership. All financial professionals should be required to be members of one or more self-regulatory organizations ("SROs") that are empowered with both enforcement and standard-setting authority and are subject to the oversight of the Commission.

LOS ANGELES – California Community Foundation (CCF) invites parents, educators, employers, community, civic and religious leaders, and all concerned members of the public to participate in a historic town hall on the need to change and improve conditions for Black male youth in Los Angeles that are adversely affecting their futures. "SAVING OUR SONS: A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION" will take place on Wednesday, May 2, at 6 p.m., in the North Tent at Los Angeles Trade-Tech College (LATTC), 1937 Grand Ave., Los Angeles 90015. More than 200 people are expected in attendance.
Twenty years after the civil unrest in Los Angeles, Black male youth have significant challenges related to their educational and employment prospects. Additionally, while Black male youth make up 10 percent of L.A. County's youth population, they comprise approximately 33 percent of all youth under probation supervision.
The event on May 2 is supported by Brotherhood Crusade, Community Coalition, Liberty Hill Foundation, Los Angeles Urban league, Youth Justice Coalition, Youth Mentoring Connection, and the Office of the Mayor, City of Los Angeles, and will feature a personal appearance by actor and activist Larenz Tate (TV's "Rescue Me", and films such as, "Ray", "Love Jones", "Crash", and "Menace II Society").
In addition, the event will culminate in a major announcement by CCF.
Free parking for the event is available at the LATTC parking lots on Grand Ave. in between Washington Blvd. and 23rd St., or in campus lot F. People may register for the free event in advance, at www.calfund.org/sos.
California Community Foundation (CCF) is a multi-faceted and public charitable organization serving Los Angeles County since 1915. It encourages philanthropy by individuals, families, companies and organizations, and serves as a steward of their charitable funds and legacies. It manages grant-making programs and engages in major initiatives with local nonprofits in the arts, education, health care, housing and neighborhoods, human development, and civic engagement.

.38 Special, which closes out Coca-Cola Speed Street on Saturday, is no stranger to NASCAR the veteran classic-rock band has played race events, including Speed Street, before.
Singer and founding member Don Barnes spoke to The Observer last week from his home in Atlanta about the history of its relationship with NASCAR, his distinct voice, and continuing without co-founder Donnie Van Zant.
Q. Youve done a lot of NASCAR events, havent you?
A. Weve played a lot of tracks. We were the first back when NASCAR was first putting entertainment on the tracks after the race. Traffic jams leaving the race are crazy. Theyd wheel us in there on three tractor-trailer trucks two of them would have a giant PA and the other a stage and wed entertain 100,000 of them while the track was clearing out. We did Loudon (N.H.), Bristol (Tenn.), Homestead (Fla.). I dont think weve played the Charlotte track.
Q. Donnie Van Zant officially retired from the band. How has that changed the dynamic?
A. Weve revamped the whole set. Its more of a muscular show with the hits. Donnie had the more bluesy side. I had more of a voice for radio. Its a real ride. Weve always been about that presentation. We put a medley together of our secondary songs from movies or whatever. Songs like Back to Paradise from Revenge of the Nerds II.
Q. That is one thing that stands out: You have a unique voice thats easy to sing along with, as if it was made for radio. Were you aware of that strength early on?
A. Im very thankful that it had some kind of unique sound to it. Its identifiable. (Listeners) know its a .38 Special song. Like Don Henley you know its him. Thats just solid gold for me. It just happened by accident. Donnie (Van Zant) and I played in 15 other bands before .38 Special. We were always trading lyrics and songs and singing in high school chorus. I learned to sing correctly, from the diaphragm. It helps doing 100 cities a year still hitting the high notes and not blowing too much air out of the pipe there. Theres a million watts of power in the PA system, and Im up on the microphone not singing any louder than Im talking. We keep it regulated or controlled and let everybody else get excited.
Q. Is that something you had to learn?
A. When we were young, we thought playing 90 miles an hour and turning everything up as loud as it would go was impressive. We realized you lose something. We tweaked the songs, (learned to) wait for the next beat, let it breathe.
Q. Country rock has really come to a place where Southern rock once was. Thats given you a new opportunity to play to country fans.
A. We have been the token rock band in the country festival. The difference is that we came from the rock influences (Eric) Clapton, (Jimi) Hendrix, Mountain, Bad Company and ZZ Top. Those guys come from the twangy country side of it, and theyre trying to be the rock band. The lines are blurred over the years. Southern rock has become the country music today. Even Garth Brooks in his autobiography said we were an influence on him. (We were using) lasers, Donnie in flying rigs, the circus atmosphere. We opened for Kiss back in the 70s. We were unknown, and it was the year they made $400 million. We were the opening act, and people were waiting for the explosions of Kiss. We picked up all of those things over the years. Make yourself 50 feet tall. Youre driving that train. Be bigger. Be bombastic.

George A. King III of the New York Post reports that Mark Teixeira (wrist) isn't likely to play in Grapefruit League games until March 3, at the earliest.
His wrist is still tight, though there is no pain and he hasn't had any setbacks. He said earlier this month that it could be June before he loses that tightness. I think one of the bigger questions for the Yankees is what they'll get, if anything, from Teixeira this year. If he's not productive they're going to be relying pretty heavily on a small number of guys.

Chris Gayle blasted an unbeaten 65 as West Indies eased to an eight-wicket victory in their ICC World Twenty20 warm-up clash against Afghanistan.
The big-hitting batsman smashed four sixes as his side chased down a target of 123 with more than four overs to spare in Colombo.
Afghanistan, who have been drawn in the same group as England for the tournament proper, could only manage 122-7 after winning the toss and opting to bat.
Asghar Stanikzai was their top-scorer with 53 from 50 balls, but only three other batsmen managed to make it into double figures.
Paceman Fidel Edwards claimed the scalp of Stanikzai and two others to finish as the pick of the bowlers with 3-24, while spinner Sunil Narine returned 2-23 as he took two wickets in consecutive overs.
Mohammad Nabi (2-29) made two breakthroughs during the Windies' chase but Afghanistan's overall bolwing effort was lacklustre as they conceded 20 extras in just 15.5 overs.
Gayle struck nine boundaries in total as he took just 48 balls to reach his 65.

Tuesday Sprint and Palm finally make official the release of the Pre smartphone The Palm Pre will sell for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail in rebate. The launch date will be Saturday June 6th, and customers can get the Pre in the U.S. only at Sprint stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack, select Walmart stores, and online. The phone will also require an Everything Data or Business essentials w/ Messaging and Data Plan. An Everything Data plan includes 450 minutes and unlimited data for $69.99, similar to the current AT&T iPhone plan, except includes unlimited texting. Unlimited texting costs another $20 from AT&T. Notes of interest here would first be the date. The release is the weekend before Apple's WWDC, which is the soonest we would expect to see a new iPhone from Apple. By releasing before the new iPhone, the Pre will undoubtedly pick up ample coverage in comparisons. The second item that jumps out is the rebate. The current iPhone retails for $199 for the same 8GB storage, while the Pre is $299.99 out the door (before tax). Palm Pre

The number of accidents – mostly in the Arab-Israeli population but also among Jews – from children falling from high places or being run over by vehicles moving in reverse – is worrying Beterem, the National Center for Child Safety and Health.Recently, a baby girl from Tira in the Galilee Triangle was run over by a family member outside their home.Beterem director-general Orly Silbinger said on Wednesday that drivers have to constantly be aware of the blind spot around their vehicles that cannot be seen in the rearview and side mirrors or even with the naked eye.Usually the victims are aged five and under who cannot be seen because of their height. In 2012, six children were run over and killed by cars that backed up near their homes.Children have been hurt because a parent or other close relative left the house and the child followed. The driver had been unaware that the child had left the house because there was no barrier that prevented him reaching the vehicle. The driver backed up, and if he didn't have a sensor that identifies people or objects in the way, he runs them over.According to Beterem, 16 percent of children under the age of 14 who are hurt in road accidents are run over in Arab settlements when the driver goes into reverse; this compares to 6% of children the same age in mixed Jewish- Arab towns and cities.In Arab areas, driveways are often part of of courtyards where children play.This kind of accident is more common in villages than in cities, the NGO said.Beterem recommends that residents of areas where such accidents are common fence in gardens and courtyards to prevent children from reaching the parking space. Children should not be allowed to play in the parking area, which should be at a distance from the area where children play. Youngsters should be taught never to spend time in areas used for parking, it said.It added that parents should supervise young children and know where they are at all times. When a driver wants to exit the parking lot, call another adult to make sure that all the children are in a safe place.Young children should be held. Sensors to alert drivers to obstacles should be installed in every vehicle.Falling from high places occurs in Arab as well as Jewish areas, said Silbinger, referring to a recent case of a boy in Modi'in who fell from a window. In 2012, five children died from such falls, while in the past five years, 29 children met their deaths in this way.Such accidents can be prevented easily by installing vertical bars on windows or preventing windows from opening up to the point that a child can climb and fall through. The maximum opening should be just 10 centimeters. There are now laws requiring the installing of metal bars on windows in homes to prevent falling, she added.Screens prevent insects from entering, but they are not strong enough to prevent falls, said Beterem.Keep furniture such as beds, chairs and chests of drawers so children don't climb on them to reach the window.Never let children play on windowsills or on stairs or on the roof even with rails unless they are continuously supervised by an adult.

Rapper Jehuniko's "20 Years Old" Goes Global With Anti-Domestic Violence/Rape Message
Domestic abuse and rape rhymes are often spun by rappers without a second thought. Being true to himself, Los Angeles-based Jehuniko is coming on a different tip for "20 Years Old," the lead single off his newly released album Bittersweet ."They say that 97% of rapists are never incarcerated / I hate it / How can this be?" he sounds off on the Spooz produced track where a soulful Middle Eastern bamboo flute soars over boom-bap. Photo by Forshow Jehuniko says 'Respect Your Sister'
The music video for "20 Years Old' gives the anti-domestic violence/rape message a global echo with Jehuniko's fans holding "Respect Your Sister" signs from all over Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and even SanTana!

anonimouse Rating:5.0I bought this for my boss for Christmas. I think she is 5' 8", maybe taller. When I read the review I just figured this would be something that she would be able to wear without the complaints of it being too short. She always complains about things being short in length. The photograph also shows a woman wearing the robe and it clearly goes to her ankles and wrists but not knowing how tall the model is I took a chance that this would be generous. The material is almost like a tea cloth. I bought it with the intention for my boss to take it on a cruise that she had booked. I figured it would be nice to have a robe that doesn't take tons of space in a suitcase. She says she loves it and send me a picture of it hanging next to her shower. It looked very elegant and spa-like hanging there. The blue striped edges give a luxurious touch. Another plus, she says she can wear it while getting ready, doing her hair and makeup without feeling weighed down with a thick robe. She says she gets hot...

Davia from dayton, OH, Rating:5.0Very soft and comfortable maybe the hook and loop could be a little longer to fit more smaller petitet woman..
Jan 8, 2015
lucinda g. Rating:5.0So for the price, I thought it was going to be rough, but it's very plush. My mom thought it was a 60 dollar robe. I bought a medium (I'm 5'0 and 9 months pregnant), so it fit perfectly. This is just to give people a good perspective regarding sizing. I'd say for taller people you might need a larger size than usual because I think it runs short.

Manchester United transfer news: More signings expected, indicates Ed Woodward
Manchester United executive vice-chairman tells fans to 'watch this space' and reveals there is no 'fixed budget'
Manchester United fans have been given the strongest indication yet that Louis van Gaal will be making more additions to his squad this summer.
With the club desperate to make a quick return to the top, having slumped to a seventh place finish in the Premier League last season, £56m has already been spent on bringing in defender Luke Shaw and midfielder Ander Herrera.

Yet those are unlikely to be the only arrivals this summer according to executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
"There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes," he told MUTV. "Watch this space."
Video: Louis van Gaal unveiled as Manchester United boss
There are numerous gaps to fill for Louis van Gaal with Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand having left and Patrice Evra also set to leave the club. In addition Ryan Giggs has retired.
There are also question marks over numerous players still at the club. Bebe and Anderson were omitted from the squad currently on a pre-season tour of the United States whilst other players, including Tom Cleverley and Ashley Young, need to prove their worth to the new manager.
"We've got someone who has confidence in himself about making difficult decisions and, when you boil down what makes a great manager, one of the key characteristics is making difficult decisions," Woodward said yesterday. "We've clearly got a manager who can do that."

An environment has been created where new arrivals appear both likely and necessary.
"There is no fixed budget," Woodward added. "Financially we are extremely strong. We want to do what it takes to win the title."
Among those in contention for a move to Old Trafford is Mats Hummels, however The Independent understands Feyenoord's Stefan de Vrij is a likelier arrival at centre-back.
Also linked with the club is Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal, Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria and PSG striker Edinson Cavani.

Shop for John Deere Toy Tractors, Toy Farm Animals, Schleich Farm Animals and more.
Schleich Dalmation 16346
$4.99The hairs in a Dalmatian's coat are barbed, making them stick to almost any type of fabric.
Dalmatians are named after the region they're from -- Dalmatia, an area in Croatia along the Adriatic Sea. Puppies are completely white when they're born. They develop their own unique pattern of dark brown or black spots within a few weeks. Eye color may be brown, blue, or a combination thereof. Ten percent of Dalmatians are born deaf, but that doesn't stop them from doing their jobs: for thousands of years Dalmatians worked as carriage dogs-they walked alongside horse-drawn chariots and then carriages, encouraging the horses to move forward. Before the motorized car was invented, fire trucks were actually just horse-drawn vehicles, and the Dalmatian urged the horses to run as fast as they could to the blazing fires. Nowadays, they're just along for the ride.
- Dimensions: 4" L x 2.7" W x 1.3" H
Schleich Red Fox 14648
$4.99Foxes can jump one yard vertically.
Described as a cat-like canine, foxes have eyes similar to a cat's and like to pounce on their prey. Thanks to their keen sense of hearing, foxes can pounce with precision, knowing exactly where dinner is. Although they are generally nocturnal, foxes can change their schedule according to the human population where it resides. Living in dens, both male and female foxes help to raise their young, called kits. Instilling life skills, foxes live by standards that include burying uneaten food, saving it for later. Foxes are generally about three feet long, weighing around thirty pounds.
- Dimensions: 1.2" L x 3.1" W x 2" H
Schleich African Elephant Calf 14658
$4.99The elephant's trunk is a unique and very sensitive organ. It is used to smell, touch and grip.
African Elephants are the largest members of the elephant family and thus the largest land animals. They have four toes on their front feet and five on their hind feet. African Elephants live in large herds which are divided into smaller families. The eldest and largest female is the matriarch and leads the others on the endless quest for food and water. Elephants spend up to sixteen hours a day searching for grass, branches, fruit and creeping plants. Elephants have a rugged but flexible hide, a long trunk and two ivory tusks. They use their amazingly moveable trunk to communicate with one another through touch and smell. Elephant calves are suckled for up to five years. Elephant cows stay with their mother until they are ready to bear young themselves and start their own family. Calves stay with their mother for up to twelve years until they leave to join a "bachelor herd."
- Dimensions: 1.8" L x 3.5" W x 2" H
Schleich Wolf howling 14626
$4.99A wolf's tail constitutes one quarter of its body length.
Wolves are carnivorous canines that vary in size depending on their habitat. They travel in packs led by the Alpha pair. They hunt in packs too; this way they can take down bigger prey. A prey that stands its ground has a better chance for survival since wolves can chase their prey, reaching speeds of forty miles per hour with the help of their specialized paws and body structure. By marking their hunting territory, wolves are one step closer to ensuring their survival and their need for almost two tons of meat per year. To combat the elements, wolves have thick fur made up of two layers. The top layer contains guard hairs which repel dirt and water while the bottom layer insulates their body.

Schleich German Shepherd Female 16375
$4.99German Shepherds are among the very smartest breeds of dogs.
One of the most versatile dogs ever bred, much effort was put forth to make this dog what it is today. Sought for herding but also intelligence, German Shepherds are popular police dogs, guardians, companions, war sentries, and guide dogs. Dedicated to their purpose, the diligence of these talented canines is unsurpassed. A very loyal and faithful dog, German Shepherds protect their home and generally do not have any problems with other pets. In need of daily challenges, shepherds enjoy learning and exercising. Equipped with a double coat of fur, these dogs can live outside but also enjoy living with a family.
- Dimensions: 3.5" L x 1.6" W x 2.7" H
Schleich Icelandic Pony Foal 13709
$4.99Icelandic ponies come in many colours. The only thing one won't find are leopard spots.
Icelandic ponies, which come in many colours, are rugged and good-natured riding horses and can also be ridden by adults. They reach full growth at 7 years and can live to as long as 35. One special feature of Icelandic ponies are the "tölt" and "flying pace" gaits. Whereas in the "tölt" gait only one or two hooves touch the ground at the same time, which makes riding these ponies very pleasant, the "flying pace" gait, which only some Icelandic ponies have, is considered the "royal gait" of the breed.
- Dimensions: 1" L x 2.7" W x 2.9" H
Schleich Asian Elephant Calf 14655
$4.99Asian elephants can be tamed. They are often used as working animals.
Asian elephants look similar to African elephants, but with shorter tusks and smaller ears. These elephants never stay more than a few days in one place and have different habitants which are, however, always near thicket forests. Asian elephants live in family groups made up of two to ten elephants. Like with African elephants, the groups are led by an alpha female who makes sure that all members of the herd follow the group's rules. Experts think that elephants, thanks to their large brains, can empathize with other herd members and are able to retain information with ease such as the difference between individuals, memories of a drought or the location of good feeding grounds.
- Dimensions: 1.2" L x 3.1" W x 1.8" H
Schleich Dwarf Goat 13715
$4.99These cheeky and cuddly Dwarf goats are usually born as twins or triplets.
Dwarf goats originally come from West Africa, which is why they are also referred to as "West African Dwarfs." They arrived in Europe back in the 17th century. Today, they are especially popular as petting zoo animals.
- Dimensions: 12" L x 2.4" W x 2.2" H

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela's vice president said Thursday that Hugo Chavez is still fighting for his life, yet a recent poll says nearly three in five Venezuelans believe their president will return to power.
Nicolas Maduro, Chavez's self-appointed successor, said on television that his boss "is battling there for his health, for his life, and we're accompanying him."
The vice president had characterized Chavez's condition similarly on Dec. 20, saying the president "is fighting a great battle ... for his life, for his health."
Chavez hasn't spoken or been seen since before his fourth operation in Cuba on Dec. 11 for an unspecified cancer in the pelvic area.
The government says he has been breathing with the help of a tracheal tube after surviving a serious respiratory infection. It says Chavez returned on Feb. 18 and is at a military hospital in Caracas for continued treatment for "respiratory insufficiency."
Despite speculation by doctors not involved in Chavez's treatment that it is most likely palliative, designed only to make him more comfortable in his remaining days, many Venezuelans apparently believe — or want to believe — he is on the mend.
"The president's prolonged absence and his critical situation have not been converted into massive pessimism about his return," respected pollster Luis Vicente Leon tweeted Thursday.
He said nearly 58 percent of Venezuelans believe Chavez will recover while about 30 percent believe he will not return to power and 12.5 percent say they don't know what will happen. One percent, meanwhile, believe Chavez was never sick.
Leon, chief of the Datanalisis polling firm, told The Associated Press that the Feb. 11 poll of 1,198 people had an error margin of three percentage points.
He said he thought the poll reflected people's desire not to believe the worst about someone who is dear to them, just as people resist accepting that a close relative might be dying.
