20 First: Global Gender Balance Scorecard: Where the world's top companies stand.
|Business Employment & Leadership
Every year, the 20-first Global Gender Balance Scorecard looks at a single measure of progress: the gender balance of the Executive Committee of the TOP 100 companies in three key regions of the globe. A growing number of studies, from McKinsey, Catalyst and a range of universities show the correlation between gender balance in leadership and improved corporate performance. The complementary skills and styles of men and women have a positive impact on business. Not surprising, when most of the educated talent in the world and a majority of the consumer market is female. Today, more and more companies are waking up to this 21st century reality and have begun to make gender balance in leadership a strategy priority. Let's take a look at what the top companies around the world have achieved to date.

2010 Board of Directors Survey
|Corporate Boards
Women directors appear to be more assertive on a number of hot-button issues, including evaluating their own board's performance and supporting more oversight on boards. This changing dynamic will likely usher in a new era of governance and perhaps more significant changes for US companies and their boards over the next several years.

2010 Board of Directors Survey
|Corporate Boards
The growing number of women taking a seat in the corporate boardroom has prompted an increased interest in how these directors approach board service versus their male peers. In the wake of the financial crisis, with widespread discussion about board accountability, it is especially important to ask how male and female directors diverge in their approach to the boardroom. How do both genders feel trust in boards can be restored? How do men and women differ – and agree – when rating their boards' effectiveness in handling fundamental board responsibilities? Do either men or women directors believe that quotas are necessary for creating a more diverse boardroom?

2011 UC Davis Study of California Women Business Leaders: A Census of Women Directors and Executive Officers

Our seventh annual study details the presence of women at the very top of the 400 largest publicly held corporations headquartered in the state. Our findings paint a disappointing picture of female representation on the boards and in the executive suites of these high-profile companies, which together represent nearly $3 trillion in shareholder value.
Women still hold fewer than one in 10 of the highest-paid executive positions and board seats at the top public firms in California — a rate that has improved by just 0.2 percent annually.

2011 Women on Boards Report
|Corporate Boards
2011 March 8
In its 2011 Women on Boards Report, GovernanceMetrics International, the leading independent global corporate governance and ESG research firm, shows that 40 percent of the world's largest publicly listed companies have not appointed even one woman to their boards. Even in major markets like Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States women continue to be grossly under-represented on corporate boards. Not surprisingly, the issue of board diversity is generating a healthy level of public debate.

Advancing Women Leaders: The Connection Between Women Board Directors and Women Corporate Officers
|Corporate Boards
This research shows that the number of women on a company's board of directors impacts the future of women in its senior leadership. This is significant because earlier Catalyst findings show that Fortune 500 companies with the highest representation of women board directors and women corporate officers, on average, achieve higher financial performance than those with the lowest. The numbers tell the story—a gender-diverse board promotes continued success for women and for business. Women board directors appear to have a greater effect on increasing the percentage of line positions held by women than they do on staff positions held by women.

The overall financial wealth of high net worth individuals (HNWI1) declined across all regions in 2011, with the exception of the Middle East, according to the World Wealth Report 2012, released today by Capgemini and its new partner, RBC Wealth Management. The 1.7 percent decline is the first since the 2008 world economic crisis, a year in which HNWI global wealth declined by 19.5 percent.
The 16th annual World Wealth Report finds that the number of HNWIs in Asia-Pacific expanded 1.6 percent to 3.37 million in 2011, making Asia-Pacific the largest HNWI region for the first time, surpassing North America's HNWI population of 3.35 million. North America remained the largest region for HNWI wealth at US$11.4 trillion compared to US$10.7 trillion in the Asia-Pacific region.

Catalyst Census of Women Corporate Officers and Top Earners of the Fortune 500 2005
|Business Employment & Leadership
The 2005 Census shows that, in the last three years, growth in the percentage of corporate officer positions held by women slowed to a ten year low. In 2005, women held 16.4 percent of corporate officer positions, only 0.7 percentage points more than they did in 2002. Furthermore, the percentage of corporate officer positions held by women of color stagnated at 1.7 percent. In addition, only 6.4 percent of corporate officer top earners were women. A deeper look into corporate officer status shows that while women were almost two and one-half times as likely to hold staff positions as they were to hold line positions, men were only slightly more likely to hold staff positions than line positions. Women also held 9.4 percent of the highest executive titles, up from 7.9 percent in 2002. Eight companies in the Fortune 500 were led by a woman CEO, compared with six in 2002.

Surprisingly similar in texture to al dente white pasta, a 1/3 cup serving of cooked whole wheat pasta has 3 times the amount of fiber as white pasta, making it a better option for glucose control.

Another alternative to white pasta are the new fortified pasta varieties. These pastas have been modified by adding a flour blend that includes egg whites and legumes for more protein; barley and oats for increased fiber; and flaxseed for healthy omega-3 fats. These pastas contain 40% more protein and twice the fiber in the same amount of calories as regular pasta. The higher protein and fiber content are both helpful for diabetic glucose control.

Quinoa is one of my favorite pasta alternatives. It is an ancient Incan grain, but its use has been gaining in popularity in recent years. When cooked in chicken, beef or vegetable stock instead of plain water, quinoa becomes a very flavorful pasta alternative with a similar texture to couscous. Serve it as a side dish with fish or chicken, or top it with meat, vegetables, and sauce. A 1/3 cup serving of cooked quinoa has more than twice the fiber of regular pasta.

A 1/3-cup serving of cooked barley contains twice the fiber of pasta. The texture of cooked barley is very similar to that of pasta. I suggest trying barley as a substitute in pasta salad recipes -- once cooked, it tastes great hot or cold.

When you shred cooked spaghetti squash with a fork, the texture is similar to angel hair pasta. The biggest benefit of this substitute? Portion size. One and a half cups of cooked, shredded spaghetti squash has the same amount of carbohydrates as just 1/3 cup of cooked pasta.

Use a vegetable peeler to produce "ribbons" of nonstarchy vegetables to use in place of pasta. Some good ones to try are zucchini, yellow summer squash, eggplant, peppers, and cabbage. Steam the ribbons for a similar mouth-feel to homemade ribbon pasta. Enjoy a serving size of 1 & 1/2 cups of cooked veggie ribbons for only 15 grams of carbohydrate.

Your Site On Drugs: The Hidden Cost Of Ad Blockers

Ad blockers
have grown in use over the last few years as a plug-in for Web browsers. This

users who can easily add in the Mozilla recommended Adblock

Usage stats

When I ask
advertisers and retailers about this I often get a response along the lines of
So what is
the big deal? A few ads get blocked, so what?
based on a few informed conversations of late I think we are approaching the
5-8% range for consumers using ad-blockers. This starts to really count at that
are three key reasons why this is important:
- Missing impressions — the way
the ad blocker works is that is does not render the ad in the browser. However, the ad was served by the ad server, content management system (CMS)
or image directory. If you are selling or buying impressions this means
you are either cheating or getting cheated. At 5% I think this starts to matter to the advertising buyer.
- Many eCommerce sites use the same directories, or servers serving the ads, to serve merchandizing (or worse) instructional and service content. Often this is done to leverage
targeting capabilities available in the ad server, not available on the legacy commerce platform.** This means sites are just plain broken on ad-blockers — either the design looks terrible, or content the customer needs is just plain missing.
- Many eCommerce sites are
looking to monetize their traffic in other ways besides conversions. This is especially true for high-traffic sites. This is bound to increase, and
sites will be more and more impacted by a problematic ad-serving approach.*
Here is
an example of Wal-Mart's home page just
by way of example:
So, what
can you do about it?

Confusion about Alternator wiring diagram
Hello everyone I'm new here, or as one would say "A Newbie"
I have read alot of threads and searched the "Knowledge Base" and could not find what I was looking for. I have a modified 1957 chevy and have owned it for 32 years. But since I did my frame off there are several loose ends I need to fix. I custom wired the car from my own experience and everything is fine except one thing, the charging circuit. I have a Delco12Si 94 amp alternator and it gets real hot to the touch after ideling for a few minutes, with nothing on except the car running. When I wired it up I put a resistor in the circuit from the ignition switch to the alternator. I have seen some diagrams with and without a resistor...which way do I go...with or without a resistor...Thanks George
The battery is in the trunk if that info is needed with a 1/0 wire running to the starter. (welders cable)
Great forum hope I can help out sometimes

I'm so sorry for what you're going through! The same thing happened to me after I got highlights. Having your hair so damaged is bad enough, but having to cut so much length off is really adding insult to injury.
There are lots of great deep treatments. You might want to type "deep treatments" in the search bar and see what comes up. Personally, I would look for a hair mask, or any deep conditioner that's meant to be left on for like a half hour or so. ( Not your usual after-wash kind) Go for moisture right now, not protein. Your hair's too vulnerable right now to experiment with protein, in case you're protein sensitive. Get it in better condition first. Cowash, put on the deep treatment, put on a plastic cap, and apply heat all over the cap for at least 15 minutes, more if you can. Remember to make sure the deep treatment has no silicones. Good luck.

Keith McGill
Cornerback/Free Safety
University of Utah Utes
La Mirada, California
Cerritos Junior College
La Mirada High School
A physical presence during his career as a safety, a shoulder injury that wiped out most of his 2011 season and kept him sidelined throughout the 2012 campaign turned this cornerback "neophyte" into an imposing man coverage specialist upon his return to the gridiron in 2013.
The change in positions was actually just a way to ease McGill back into the game of football during 2013 fall camp, but based on his dominance taking on receivers in practices, the coaches decided to make the move permanent and installed their former junior college All-American at left cornerback for the entire season.
While McGill first thought he was a "fish out of water" playing on the outside, he turned into a "ball shark" on the field, earning All-Pac 12 Conference honors while leading the league in pass deflections, as his 12 break-ups rank fourth on the school season-record list. He also ranked second in the conference with 13 passes defended, returning his only interception for a touchdown.
Even though the Utes struggled during a 5-7 campaign in 2013, the coaches can consider their idea of moving their hardest hitter to cover receivers a complete success. But, if you look at McGill's entire football career, he has been quick to adapt to any task that his coaches assign him, anyway. He first began to attract attention from recruiters as a three-sport star at La Mirada High School, where the California product excelled in football, track and basketball.
On the football field, McGill was a jack-of-all trade during his senior season, playing on all three units. On defense, he recorded 20 tackles with an interception. On offense, he carried 75 times for 516 yards (6.88 ypc) and six touchdowns, adding 17 catches for 297 yards (17.47 ypc) and another score. On special teams, he punted 24 times for a 32.17-yard average.
McGill also played both forward positions for the school's basketball team. He averaged 9.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocked shots in 26 games as a junior. During his final season, he totaled 156 rebounds (5.6 avg), shot 94-of-202 from the floor (7.7 points per game), handed out 39 assists (1.4 avg) and blocked 25 shots (0.9 avg) in 28 contests.
McGill stepped away from sports for one year before he enrolled at Cerritos Junior College. He would go on to earn All-State and All-Northern Conference honors in each of his seasons starting at safety. As a freshman, he delivered 23 tackles with four pass thefts and three deflections in 11 games during the 2009 campaign.
His sophomore season was perhaps his finest during his college career. McGill was named the Northern Conference's Defensive Player of the Year as well as being recognized as a first-team All-American and All-State selection. He led the team to the league co-title and a berth in the 2010 Southern California Bowl.
McGill led the nation with 203 yards gained via seven interceptions during his sophomore year at Cerritos. He blocked two kicks, including one that came on the final play of the Falcons 27-21 win over Bakersfield College. He also recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown. In 12 games, he registered 37 tackles and deflected five tosses.
The University of Utah commit was the Utes' prized recruit in 2010, as the staff felt he was a dynamic ball-hawking safety who stood at 6'4?, 214 lbs upon his arrival for fall camp that year, when he also consistently ran 4.35-seconds in the 40-yard dash. He said part of the decision to go to Utah was the school joining what will be known as the Pac-12 Conference.
"Honestly, I would have gone elsewhere if they didn't join the Pac 12," the junior college All-American explained about his decision. "I kept telling the coaches, 'You've got to join the Pac 12.' Everyone wants to play vs. schools like University of Southern California."
The University of Arizona, Arizona State University, Kansas State, University of Montana, New Mexico University, Oregon State University, San Diego State University, and San Jose State University were among the other schools who offered him a scholarship.
Despite being one of the top football prospects to come out of Cerritos College in recent years, McGill was also concerned about his life off of the field. He was raising his young daughter with his girlfriend who plays softball. "We were basically a package deal," he said. I was looking for a place to play football, but I'm also looking at what is best for my family."
Things did not go as planned during the 2011 season, as McGill started just one of the five games he appeared in before being shut down for the rest of the schedule. Surgery for his shoulder was a bigger priority and rehabilitation would force him to sit out the entire 2012 campaign. His debut season at Utah produced just 12 tackles and a pass deflection, certainly not the numbers a four-star junior college transfer had expected.
Since transferring to the more powerful Pac-12 Conference, the University of Utah has not been too successful, compiling a combined 18-19 record in the three seasons in the new league, including back to back 5-7 campaigns the last two years. McGill was one of the few bright spots for the team in 2013. In addition to his pass deflection skills, he has allowed just 12 of 71 passes targeted into his area to be completed (16.90%). The team allowed 59.1% of the opposition's passes to be successful, including 22 touchdowns. None of McGill's coverage assignments ever reached the end zone vs. him in 2013.
In two seasons each at Cerritos College and Utah, McGill appeared in a combined forty games during his college career, earning 34 starts — 22 at free safety and 12 at left cornerback…Recorded 109 tackles (62 solos) with a fumble recovery, two forced fumbles, a pair of blocked kicks and 21 pass deflections…Had 12 interceptions that he returned for 243 yards (20.25 avg) and one touchdown.

That video with JB shows he's still a bit of a laddo, but he DOES seem to be growing out of it. Re Alonso, I've said this before, he should take a good long look at his countryman Rafa Nadal, gives no quarter on-court, so courteous and considerate of his opponent off it. But then again Nadal is a winner and FA is currently a loser. 22 agree 8 disagree

The lack of confidence the Chiefs have in Cassel is insane.
They are treating him like a true raw rookie.
No point in playing him if they aren't going to throw the ball at all.
Let Joe make the calls and not CAM, and we will be fine
Offense started to get it going before that penalty last drive. Hope we can pick it back up here.

The American women's movement is at a turning point. Roughly 45 years into feminism's second wave, after decades of social change work dedicated to leveling the playing field for women, activists are coming back around to an old idea that's been with us since the 1970s: the frequently cited maxim that "feminism is for everybody," men and women alike.

Injustice Against Women Hidden for Too Long
DUBLIN, Ireland – On paper, Martina Keogh's life reads like a tragedy – but don't tell her that. When you meet her in person it's hard to reconcile the facts of her early life, which included her quasi-legal incarceration in one of Ireland's notorious Magdalene laundries, with the warm and funny grandmother she is today. I met Martina on a recent trip to Ireland, when she agreed to talk to me about her experiences in one of the slave-labor workhouses operated by the Catholic Church – with an as-yet-unknown degree of government complicity – from 1765 to 1996.

What I Did on My Summer Vacation, Part 2
Read Part 1 here. I hear Martina Keogh before I can see her. She's yelling at her two small dogs, Princess and Tilly, to pipe down and they are happily ignoring her, an interaction that will replay several times over the course of our two-hour conversation. The dogs, plus a two-week-old kitten she's fostering for the local animal rescue, keep us company that day. Their periodic interruptions—begging for attention, meowing to be fed—relieve some of the darkness of the story I've asked Martina to tell. [Read more…]
Dear Mr. President, Please Put a Sock in It
It took me five attempts to decide on the title of this post, with each version growing progressively less snarky and more measured. Though I'm feeling rather put off by Obama's boneheaded comments about California Attorney General Kamala Harris' looks yesterday (note to POTUS: if the brain trust at Fox & Friends takes your side, consider it a bad sign) on balance I think President Obama is a friend to the ladies.

The Kool-Aid is Not for You
So! That election. Funny how it wasn't even close. And please don't start yammering at me about the popular vote, because if we decided elections that way both sides would have run totally different campaigns (e.g., no one would have gone to Ohio, ever), and there are compelling reasons to think that Obama's team would have been just as effective under those circumstances, and that Mitt Romney would still have been Mitt Romney, which carries its own consequences.

Chris Brown and the Uses of Compassion
Welcome back, Chris Brown! Honestly, I thought we'd finished with you when you completed your entirely inadequate community service sentence for 1. beating Rihanna to a pulp and 2. repeatedly demonstrating that you had no real understanding of, let alone remorse for, what you'd done. Though the story's ending was unsatisfying, I was just glad when it was over. But then you went on GMA and got asked a couple of totally softball questions about your lady-smacking ways, and you threw a tantrum, and broke a mirror, and also ripped your shirt off because sometimes, when The Man is keeping you down, the only thing left to do is show him your pecs. So much for the anger management classes, and hey, good to know you don't limit your violent outbursts to women you're dating. Female morning show anchors: check yourselves.

When you register, you sign up for one daily morning class that you will focus on during the week. This class meets daily with the same instructor and group of students, providing the opportunity to learn and create a project/projects in depth in that subject.
You also pick a second choice class in event that your first choice class is cancelled.
Afternoon and Evening One-Time Workshops
Every afternoon and evening, before and after dinner, there are optional two-hour, one-time workshops in each of the other disciplines that you can take or not take at your discretion. By the end of the week you will have created several of these projects.
All classes, workshops, meals and accommodations are included.
Family Arrangements
"Muse" Option
Some art campers bring friends, spouses or partners whom they join in the afternoons. Adult Art Camp offers a special group rate for Adult Art Camp relatives or friends who are not enrolled in art classes in Art Camp. See "Muse" rates in the registration section. Muses typically read books, relax, explore, work on their computers, write or ride bikes over extensive bike trails in the region. Two complimentary arts workshops are given with their registration.
Ages 2-5
Children can participate in the OFRC "Acorns" program in the Tot-Lot.
Ages 6–12
Children can participate in the Feather River Camp Family Camp, a diverse program of nature studies, arts and crafts, astronomy and recreational activities. Activities take place while you are in your morning classes. The rec-staff is led by an environmental teacher.
As an Art Camp benefit, your kids may also participate with you in any of the two-hour, one-time afternoon and evening art workshops.
Many parents have described the experience at camp for kids as "an old fashioned summer vacation" where kids can be kids and you don't have to worry about them. You can structure your own time with them in the afternoons etc., but it is likely that they will make friends and you won't see them a whole lot except at meals.
For Teens
Ages 12 to 17
Teens may enroll in adult art classes with a parent or guardian present in camp.
Local Residents Option
If you live in the Quincy area and do not wish to stay for the overnight part of Art Camp, you can still register for an arts or crafts class. The fee includes all classes, afternoon and evening workshops and all meals for each day.
Don't like "camping?" This option is also available to folks from out of town who opt to stay in nearby lodging.
Astronomy Week
Viviane White, a volunteer from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, is at camp all week to share and talk about the wonders of the night sky from a mountainous non-urban vantage point. A large telescope is available to make sky visibility so much more impressive.
Oakland Feather River Family Camp
There will be a Family Camp simultaneously running during the same week as Art Camp at OFRC. We have our own separate program but share the camp with them including mealtimes, swimming spots, the astronomy component and restrooms.
The families of Art Campers are welcome to join in family camp activities with the OFRC recreation staff in the mornings while you are in your class. There are recreational programs for ages 2-5, 6-8 and 9-11.
Other Activities
Swimming, hiking, horseback riding (for a fee), river tubing, bike riding, excursions to river swimming spots or into town, ping-pong and of course lots of ART are some of the extra activities that our campers do in their leisure time. There are also evening activities put on by the camp recreation staff such as disco bingo and the annual camp talent show.

I have put an MP3 player in my car and love it. I have a noise problem though. I have tried some filters and things and am about of ideas to get rid of it. I use a 140 Watt inverter with a computer and a normal power supply. I was hoping you might have an idea. It all sounds great when I run it off an extension cord from my house or when I run it off the inverter and use headphones from the computer. The weird thing is that when I do not plug the signal(sound) cable into my deck, the background noise is still there coming out of my car stereo. The rest of my car stereo has no problems ever though. It enclude a few amps if that makes and difference. Then I turn off the computer and leave the inverter on and the noise goes away. Some of these results seem to contradict each other. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mid way through a rear wheel bearing
I started my rear passenger side rear wheel bearing job yesterday. Today, after a trip to Harbor Freight, I was finally able to get the hub out. The wheel bearing came apart, as expected. I was able to get the outer race of the wheel bearing out of the control arm (knuckle?), and am at the point where I have to get the upper race off of the hub. I plan on putting a slot in it and hitting it with a hammer + wedge to crack it off.
Anyways, I wanted to ask if there is anything I should do to the bearing or surfaces to encourage ease of dis-assembly in the future. I figure I want to be able to change it out much easier in the future if this one goes bad, I am using pretty imprecise tools/methods. I was planning on picking up anti-seize, but I have never done a wheel bearing before so I wanted to double check.
Now, some pRon:
Personally I put some anti-seize on mine to prevent the races from being too stubborn next time I do this.
clean the holy hell out of it.. smooth the mating surfaces..
steel wool/emery cloth
try to polish that bastard.
use molylube/antisieze liberally on surfaces... :thumbs:

In Monday night's preseason contest against the Redskins, Browns RB Ben Tate ran the ball 10 times for 51 yards; rookie Terrance West ran the ball eight times for 31 yards.
SMITTY: There is no better sneaky RB2 right now in drafts if you ask me. I have scooped him up in two expert drafts in the last 48 hours, and I got him at the top of the 6th-round in both, and saw him go at 6.01 in another draft I'm currently drafting in. That's value! Is Terrance West a must-own for all Tate owners? Absolutely, but West has roughly an 8th-round ADP, so he can be scooped up no question, thus providing you with RB1-type appeal at the cost of a very, very low-end RB2 (if even that, as the combination of 6th- and 8th-round picks is more like flex-type value). Tate, if healthy this season, could punch in 10-plus touchdowns, rush for well over 1,200 rushing yards, and pull in 40 receptions for 300-350 or so yards. Looking for Week 1 Power Rankings?

Bimmian experiences
Has anyone had trouble buying parts with Bimmian?
Somehow I've drawn the short straw in this. I bought an HID upgrade kit, and a Raptor CWP kit from Bimmian in January. The Raptor kit took about a month to show up. The HID kit took about 2 weeks.
The HID kit was missing some parts and didnt have enough plugs to wire up everything that needed to be wired.. There was no place to wire up power. That's pretty important. And yes, I did it right. 3 plugs from the bulbs, and 3 available ports on the ballast. Plug them all in, and that leave you with zero ports to plug in the power connector from the car. Not like the power connector on the car would fit the plugs on the ballast.
So I return the kit in February via USPS. Bimmian says they never received it, but my tracking and customs stuff from the USPS says it was delivered. So there goes $300.
The raptor cwp kit came as a box of some parts, no instructions, or inventory list. I started to assemble the kit in May when the weather was nicer here, and what do you know. According to the instructions from e46fanatics, and google that I found, I'm missing parts. My harness didnt have enough plugs to connect up anything other than the ballasts from the light rings. There was no extra plugs to hook up the heater inverters, and the heater inverters weren't included either. And i was missing connector plugs so i had to buy some from radio shack.
I get in touch with Bimmian about the missing parts and they tell me they'll ship them out.
Now pausing, I was only able to reach Bimmian on the phone once, because they never answered the phones. Almost all of this was done via e-mail.
A month later a box shows up at my house, with 1 heater inverter. Great. What do i plug it into? My power harness has no plugs for it. And having one side heated is rather worthless too. I email them again, and they tell me theyll fix it and get me the correct harness, and ballasts. Then a few days later I get an email stating itll be shipped out that day. Nothings here 5-6 weeks later.
Supposedly a service manager looked into my return and said it never showed up.
So here I am 8 months later, out almost $600, and sitting around with probably $100 in parts.
What can I do to resolve this?
Take a picture of what you have, make a list of the parts and FAX it to them. I found out that many companies may ignore e-mail, don't answer phones but they do see the Fax because it's not widely used (anymore).
Write them nicely the situation and politely ask for the remaining parts to be sent via a courier along with instructions.
Hmm, I had pretty good luck with them. Ordered LED tail lights and they came perfectly packed and shipping was quick. Guess I'm just lucky I didn't have to deal with customer care cause it sounds like it sucks.
They took forever shipping some rings i ordered, but i got them. But yea like you said like 3 weeks later. Honestly though, every email i sent them i got a reply to within a day or so.
Still though, given how good eurospec seems as well as jlevi and modbargains and ... and... and ... i wouldnt buy from them again if you get the idea.
I just got a reply from Bimmian, and they told me to see ApexCone about the missing parts. They would like me to take the intermediary out of it.
So, what they are telling me is that, they have my money, and **** off. This is ridiculous.
i've been seeing a lot of posts about bimmian doing this $hit. sorry about that stuff
there are various mixed experiences here on the forum
again, it sounds like this is SOP for bimmian lately.
i, on the other hand, have purchased from bimmian many times and they have been a model retailer for me. all questions answered in under 24 hours, fast and accurate package shipping, and friendly PR. i guess im the odd man out.
btw, these threads should be in the feedback forum, not general. dont worry, it will be there soon enough..
They gave me a good deal and shipped my parts right out, but I have heard nothing but bad about them recently.
contact your credit card company and file a chargeback. get your money, take your business elsewhere.
explain to your cc company that they don't answer phones, give you a song and dance, etc. they'll take care of you.
wow, i'm sorry to hear about your recent situation with bimmian. it's amazing how many customers get bad service from one e46fantics.com sponsors. you would think they would be professional and courteous to bmw fanatics.
I've too had problems with bimmian where they gave me a short m3 lips spoiler. luckily for me thats only one part!!! Bimmian is so sketch that you cant get a hold of them through the phone. I pm'ed "bimmian" here on this website and they tried to offer me 10% off my next purchase. I told them to suck it and told them that I wouldnt want to buy another product from them. I took off the spoiler and threw it away.
LOL, im still bitter about my situation.
ive been trying to cancell an order with them for a week now, ive called 10+ times this week, no answer EVER
no reponse from PMs i am sending either. my orders not even showing on their site.
last time....
wow what is going on with bimmian, i think this is like the 4th thread opened within a week and a half alone. They would lose customers if they remain silent....
i ordered a lip spoiler from them and the tape was half off on it so i emailed them and they answered fast but there reply was to maybe get tape from the dealer because there tape "hold strong"....i said ok maybe it was a one time thing so i ordered eyelids from them 4 days later and they didnt come with any tape at all now im sitting home waiting for the tape to come and they said it will take 1-3 weeks to get it....thats the last time i order from them
wow, i would honestly tell them how u feel, how dissapointed you are with the service and that if they dont care at all about their customers then you want a refund, then pack everything up, send it back with insurance and tracking and a sign for service and just cut yer losses. F that company if thats how theyre dikin u out bro. GL.
:thumbdwn: = bimmian
wow, they refer you to their supplier? That's ridiculous! You shouldn't be doing that in the first place.......my gosh, this thread is like what, 5th about bimmina already? If this thing keeps on happening, apparently there is something wrong....why can't they all be like TISCHER!!!! FTW!~
I ordered a set of lockin' lugs and it took beyond forever to get it from them. They also didn't respond to e-mails or calls.
The first two tracking numbers they gave me were ghosts too- they weren't real at all.
This is typical of how Bimmian operates, bogus tracking info, poor quality products, poor customer service and headaches are common place from my experience. I'd contact my credit card company, you might have a tough time disputing a charge this old but it's worth a shot.
Odd Bimmian has always be :thumbsup: for me.
I had a bit of trouble with my Bimmian order as well... part of it shipped out pretty quickly, but the more expensive item (Eagle Eyes LED tails for sedan) didn't ship out and wasn't updated on the order for over a week. I ended up e-mailing them and giving them a piece of my mind; they replied and said that they were "forwarding the order to another warehouse." I got a tracking number for the package a couple of days later and then the next day after that the tails arrived... in a box from Umnitza. *shrug*

UNIVERSAL NATIONAL SERVICE ACT OF 2003 -- (House of Representatives - October 05, 2004)
Mr. McHUGH. Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the bill (H.R. 163) to provide for the common defense by requiring that all young persons in the United States, including women, perform a period of military service or a period of civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and for other purposes.
Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose H.R. 163 in the strongest possible terms. The draft, whether for military purposes or for some form of "national service," violates the basic moral principles of individual liberty upon which this country was founded. Furthermore, the military neither wants nor needs a draft.
The Department of Defense, in response to calls to reinstate the draft has confirmed that conscription serves no military need. Defense officials from both parties have repudiated the need to reinstate the draft. For example, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has said that, "The disadvantages of using compulsion to bring into the armed forces the men and women needed are notable," while President William Clinton's Secretary of the Army Louis Caldera, in a speech before the National Press Club, admitted that, "Today, with our smaller, post-Cold War armed forces, our stronger volunteer tradition and our need for longer terms of service to get a good return on the high, up-front training costs, it would be even harder to fashion a fair draft."
However, the most important reason to oppose H.R. 163 is that a draft violates the very principals of individual liberty upon which our nation was founded. Former President Ronald Reagan eloquently expressed the moral case against the draft in the publication Human Events in 1979: "..... [conscription] rests on the assumption that your kids belong to the State. If we buy that assumption then it is for the State-not for parents, the community, the religious institutions or teachers-to decide who shall have what values and who shall do what work, when, where and how in our society. That assumption isn't a new one. The Nazis thought it was a great idea."
Some say the 18 year old draftee "owes it" to his (or her, since N.R. 163 makes woman eligible for the draft) country. Hogwash! It just as easily could be argued that a 50 year-old chicken-hawk, who promotes war and places the danger on innocent young people, owes more to the country than the 18 year-old being denied his (or her) liberty.
All drafts are unfair. All 18 and 19 year olds are never drafted. By its very nature a draft must be discriminatory. All drafts hit the most vulnerable young people, as the elites learn quickly how to avoid the risks of combat.
Economic hardship is great in all wars and cannot be minimized. War is never economically beneficial except for those in position to profit from war expenditure. The great tragedy of war is that is enables the careless disregard for civil liberties of our own people. Abuses of German and Japanese Americans in World War I and World War II are well known.
But the real sacrifice comes with conscription-forcing a small number of young vulnerable citizens to fight the wars that older men and women, who seek glory in military victory without themselves being exposed to danger, promote. The draft encourages wars with neither purpose nor moral justification and that are too often not even declared by the Congress.
Without conscription, unpopular wars are difficult to fight. Once the draft was undermined in the 1960s and early 1970s, the Vietnam War came to an end. But most importantly, liberty cannot be preserved by tyranny. A free society must always resort to volunteers. Tyrants think nothing of forcing men to fight and serve in wrongheaded wars. A true fight for survival and defense of America would elicit, I am sure, the assistance of every able-bodied man and woman. This is not the case for wars of mischief far away from home in which we have experienced often in the past century.
A government that is willing to enslave some of its people can never be trusted to protect the liberties of its own citizens. I hope all my colleagues join me in standing up for individual liberty and to shut down this un-American relic of a bygone era and help realize the financial savings and the gains to individual liberties that can be achieved by ending Selective Service registration.
