Sorry, Jane Katch is no longer taking questions.
One morning last week in my kindergarten class, Elizabeth's mother signaled to me that we needed to talk out of her daughter's earshot. According to Elizabeth, the parent told me, there were two clubs of girls at recess. The girls on the other team were mean, so the girls on Elizabeth's team were stealing their candy.
Since I began teaching kindergarten in 1978, parents have become much more intimately involved in the social lives of their children. Then, parents tended to leave their kids' social conflicts to the children to figure out. Some increased parental involvement is valuable. True bullying, involving repeated vicious aggression by those with more power than the victim (perhaps because he or she is outnumbered, or much younger and weaker) must be consistently and vigorously addressed by an entire school community. But the words "bully" and "mean" can also be misused to refer to any child who is trying to gain power and influence in annoying ways. I believe it is valuable for children to learn to deal with all kinds of other children, as long as they are being protected from real bullying and are getting support so they can learn how to deal with others effectively. In the long run, we want our children to be resilient and to know they can handle difficult problems. We don't want them to feel they must be protected by us from anything unpleasant--that just makes them feel powerless and vulnerable.
How can parents and teachers support children who feel someone is being mean to them? In my class, we have a three-step process to deal with conflicts. It can be adapted for use at home or in a small group.
Step 1: Listen to both sides of the story.
I tell the children they have to listen without interrupting and explain what happened without calling names. I make it clear that everyone who wants to tell what happened will have a turn.
So at snack time, I asked the children about the clubs. Isabel answered first: "Our club wanted more people, but some people are mean in this class."
I asked her to explain the problem without using words like "mean." I said I didn't think anyone was trying to be mean; they were just trying to have friends and play a good game.
She reframed her complaint. "Well a lot of the people in Samantha's club want to be in our club, but she doesn't want to let them." This more specific complaint allowed us to look at a single problem, which is much more useful than global complaints like "She's always mean."
Samantha disagreed. "I wasn't telling them not to join their club," she said. "We liked the game we were playing, so we stayed and kept playing it." All the girls in Samantha's club agreed. Samantha added her own accusation. "Jasmine, Isabel and Elizabeth were doing tricks on us. Like when we were leaving to get something from somewhere, they always would take what we had."
"What did you have?" I asked.
"Like, sand," she said.
"Were you pretending the sand was something else?" I asked, putting the pieces together.
"Cotton candy," Samantha explained.
Aha, I thought.
Step 2: Collect ideas
The next step is to collect ideas from everyone about how to solve the problem. Our rule is that we try not to criticize anyone's ideas; we just list them. Often, in the course of collecting ideas we gain consensus.
Dylan, who wasn't in the conflict but was listening carefully, made the first suggestion. "They could say, 'Do you want some cotton candy?'"
"They could have a bucket, and we could have a bucket!" Jasmine suggested excitedly.
Step 3: Make a plan
The next step is to decide what to do if this problem comes up again. Everyone involved must agree. If necessary, the game can't continue until this happens.
This time the girls quickly made a plan. "If they give one bucket to us we would fill up sand and give it to them; they would have more cotton candy, too!" All the participants were eager to begin this game at the next recess. It doesn't matter that when recess came, they decided on a game of camping--they are learning skills that they can use in any situation.
Girls need to learn how to express their feelings and opinions clearly, without making global accusations, and to listen to the opinions of others. Then they can see that each conflict has different, valid, points of view. They discover that there are many possible solutions to a problem and that by working together, they can find a compromise that makes everyone feel satisfied.
Have you had any experience with "mean girls" in your child's social world?
Sorry, Jane Katch is no longer taking questions. Feel free to comment on the article and let us know what you think about the topic.
Hi Jane,
Thanks for your useful suggestions. Our daughter has generally had a happy social world. This year, she has developed a strong friendship with another girl in her class. They're both six. They seem to careen back and forth between great expressions of devotion to each other and fights that upset our daughter a lot. I'm around to see them play together after school, and I see my daughter act much more fiercely than she has with her other friends. Both of them seem to exhibit "mean girl" behavior. Then they're the best of friends.
I know this isn't entirely unusual, but her teachers did single out this aspect of our daughter's school experience in a conference. When I'm nearby, when should I let them work it out themselves and when should I intervene?
That's a great question, Jeffrey. You are right that this is very common with six-year-old girls. I think that often they're trying to figure out how to have influence with their friends and they are trying different methods to see what is most effective--it's like trying on dress-up clothes to see how different roles feel.
I think it can be useful to keep an ear out for what's happening between your daughter and her friend but at the same time, give them time to work it out themselves before you intervene. If it seems like one child consistently has the upper hand you might try asking the less powerful child if the solution they have come up with is okay with her. If it's not, then help them find a solution that works for both of them before they continue the game. The less powerful child will be learning to stand up for what she wants while the stronger child is learning that she has to listen to her friend's opinions. They will both see that talking about solutions helps the game go even better!
This is a very nice advise and taught me (I am 39 with two children)a lot! I always struggled to settle fights and sometimes end up using my authority to compromise the warring parties.
thank you very much for such a nice advise
I believe that sometimes it is necessary to use our adult authority to stop the fighting, especially when safety is an issue. On the other hand, when we are able to take the time to help children find the solutions to their own conflicts, we are giving them the tools to solve problems when we're not around to help them. So both kinds of intervention are important!
I was constantly the brunt of the mean girls in school. I stood 5'8" by the time I was in 7th grade and developed much earlier than the rest and girls can be so cruel during hard years like that. I still deal with self-esteem issues that stem back from that time. The one thing I had the hardest time with was how all the girls would laugh and be a part of it when one would be standing there crying. The valuable lesson I learned from it was to build up the underdog and be supportive of the ones being picked at by others. I tried to befriend those that were in the background or teased the most. Even as an adult I tend to be supportive of the children that you can see are unsure of themselves and try to build their self-esteem so they don't deal with the torture I did.
I agree with you!--one of the most important things we can do is to help the bystanders become strong enough to stand up for themselves and for others. They often want to stand up--they just don't know how to do it effectively.
When there's a conflict in my class, I encourage several children to say what they think should happen next. That way they get practice standing up for what they believe in a conflict that doesn't involve them directly. They can hear that there are lots of ways they can stand up for themselves and they can choose what feels right in a particular situation. They also discover that lots of other kids have been in the same boat and lots of them feel the same way.
This is also good for the children who could become bullies. They hear that the other children don't like that kind of behavior and eventually, as the other children become strong enough to stand up to them, they find that it isn't effective.
We have been dealing with this with our 7 year old daughter for 2+ years now. She attends a small school and has had the same girls in her classes since Kindergarten (she's in 2nd grade this year).
She has one friend whom she considers her "best friend" but is also the one she seems to fight with the most. It is either love or hate with the two of them. Mostly, it comes down to both of them wanting to be in control... in control of the game they play, the people they play with, etc. It has been very challenging to coach her through these up/down times.
They are learning, now, to take turns choosing what to do and who to play with. We have also, hopefully, gotten them both to realize that it's okay to play with other children... that this does not mean they are not friends with each other.
It's been a long time coming, but they are working through it. The challenge is for us parents to COACH our kids, without stepping in to fix the problem every time. What I found my first impulse to do was to be the "mother bear" and want to protect my baby. But, by doing as you suggest and listening to both sides, I realized that they were both having control issues. Then I was able to coach my daughter on how to handle things better.
That "mother bear" feeling is so natural--we want to protect our children from all hurts--but by stepping back a little, you are helping your child gain confidence in her own abilities to solve her problems. Your coaching gives her the tools she needs to feel safe even when you're not around to help her.
Don't forget to ask her for ideas of what she might do to solve the problem. Kids often come up with ideas we would never think of ourselves, but that work for them.
Hi Jane,
My daugther is in preschool, and every morning she cries. She calms down after I leave; but I see that she is shy and very dependent of her friends at school. How can I help her to be more independent and more social?
First, I'd suggest you talk with her preschool teacher. Ask whether she seems to be happy most of the time once she's said good-by to you. Many children are sad for a few minutes during the separation process but are engaged happily once the parent is out of sight. If the separation is very difficult, ask the teacher to help you make a plan for the separation. Often a preschool teacher has a specific routine that has been successful, such as allowing a certain amount of time for the child to show you what she did yesterday, waving good-by at a particular window, etc. Once you make the plan, explain it to your child in advance and then stick with it!
Next, ask if your child is starting to make friends. Find out if there are specific children your child seems to like and whether the teacher thinks it would be helpful for you to invite this child or children over to your house to play. (One at a time is best.) Knowing that a friend has been to her house, shared her toys, and had a good time playing together can be a good way to cement a beginning friendship.
My Daughter had a hard time when she was in kindergarden. Now she is in the third grade and still suffers from feelings of social inadequecy. We keep her in sports and she has plenty of aquaintances especially around us. Unfortunately there seems to be a lack in bonding with any particular friend. I don't push her and I do not know if I should. Should I?
Some children prefer to have a group of friends rather than one or two special ones. It's hard for me to tell from a distance whether this is true for your daughter or if she is having trouble with her friendships. I'd suggest you start by talking with her teacher--an experienced teacher has lots of experience observing the social lives of children that age and can often let you know if your child's friendships seem within the norm.
Pushing a child to make friends can often backfire. If the teacher thinks your child needs some support with social skills, find out if there is a counselor at school you might talk with.
I'm glad you mention about inviting a friend.
My daugther already asked me. I think is a great idea.
Thank you so much for you advice, I really apreciated.
Thanks again and have a wonderful holidays.
I like all of the things that were suggested in this article, but it seems like lately I have heard of more and more instances of this type of ostracism and cliques with girls - especially in first and second grade. Although I don't want to interfere I feel like it is important for me to teach my daughter about things that are important - like kindness and acceptance of others. I also remember being really annoyed with my mother as a child because of her insistence that I play with girls that I didn't really like because she felt sorry for them and said that I should. How can I avoid both of these pitfalls?
Don't forget that one of the most important ways we can teach kindness and acceptance is by example: our children watch our behaviors as much as they listen to our words. Conversations where you listen to your daughter's ideas and even relate them to choices you have made in your life can be important to her, too. These conversations, helping her sort out her own dilemmas, help her figure out what she thinks, and show her that she can turn to you for help when things get difficult.
My daughter is also 7 and a 2nd grader like Lois and for 2 years I have been dealing with 2 girls that are either putting my daughter down by being extremely mean to her or being the best friends with her in the next breath. I usually 1st ask 'did you tell the teacher?' and she usually answers 'yes'. Then I ask what if anything did the teacher do about it and she says yes but it's nothing like talking to the girls in question because it keeps happening! I don't want her to be known as a taddle tale but I feel like short of her telling them off or me talking their parents, there's not much I can do.
Girls' friendships at this age are often up and down, changing by the day or hour. Encourage your daughter to find friends that make her happy--does she have an affinity for art or karate or drama? Look for an art class or an opportunity to do an activity she loves in a fun, low-key program where she'll have an opportunity to meet other kids who share her interest. Let her know that she doesn't have to be friends with everyone but it's good to find a friend she really can enjoy and who like her, even though they may sometimes have arguments. If a child has one or two good friends, that's often enough to help her through the inevitable ups and downs of childhood social life.
My daughter seems to be doing great overall in kindergarten but often complains about being left out and not having any friends in class. For example, she claims she is "never" picked by her other classmates when they have to select a friend for various activities. I know it's a matter of personal choice for each of the students and the teacher cannot make them pick her (nor would I want that), and there is no obvious mistreatment. To me it seems many of the kids in her class have buddied up with someone and she just does not have that connection with anyone specific but rather is a good friend to all. So what do I say to her since this all seems to hurt her feelings since everyday she has another story of exclusion.
First, I'd suggest asking the teacher if she sees any problems. Sometimes a child reports the problems or discouraging moments of the day but forgets to tell you all the good things that happened , leaving you with a one-sided report. Sometimes that's because the bad things are remembered at bedtime, when the child is tired. Other times it's because the bad things get your attention when you're busy making dinner!
If the teacher agrees that she's having trouble connecting, ask if there's a particular child that your child might like to invite over to your house to play. This can be a great way to help make that initial connection.
Hi Jane, My daughter is 9 years old and is in 4th grade. She has been attending the same school for 4 years with the same group of children. The problem is that there 2 mean girls that keep hurting my daughter feelings by refusing to play with her at recess. my daugther is very kind and forgiven so she keep insisting in trying to be their friends. as a result, my daughter self esteem is low and is always attracted to mean friends or to become friend with the most popular girls at her class which usually are mean. please help me!. thank you, lourdes
Talk with your daughter about special activities inside or outside of school that she might like to get involved with. She's at an age where children can connect with each other over their affinities, whether it's drama, music, or sports. Help her find friends that share her passions and see when these real friendships make her happy. There may always be people around who make her unhappy--her job is to find the ones who make her feel good! You can also encourage her to look for someone who does not yet have a friend. Someone like that is often available and happy to get to know someone new.
Lately I have been observing my preschool daughter (almost 5 years old)in social situations and found some interactions to be disturbing. She has no problems making friends and has clearly decided who she wants to be friends with and who she does not. She has started to be unkind to another girl who really wants to be her friend. The little girl follows my daughter around at school in hopes that my daughter will play with her. This just pushes my daugher away. My daugher is very assertive and outgoing and gravitates towards other girls that are the same way. This little girl is more withdrawn, still carrying a blanket and sucking her thumb. My daughter often points this out to her. It's almost as though my daughter picks up on other girls' insecurities and steers the other direction.
I talk to my daughter about being respectful and kind to all other children and we've talked numerous times about treating others how we want to be treated. When asked about being nicer to the other girl my daughter says, "I don't care. I don't want to be her friend." I'm at at a loss. I'm fine with letting her go and figuring things out on her own but don't want to see other girls around her getting hurt. I'm not sure what to do.
Is this just normal preschool/kindergarten girl behavior?
First, I'd suggest you ask her preschool teacher if this is happening in preschool and if so, how she handles it and if she has any suggestions for how you might support what she's doing in school. Then, I'd recommend you make it clear to your daughter that she doesn't have to be best friends with a child she doesn't care for but she can't be mean to her. Give her some suggestions for how she can talk with the other girl in a way that won't be mean.
In my school we have a rule, "You can't say you can't play." This makes every child feel that she or he has a right to be included in a game. But we also make it clear that the child can't spoil the game that's being played. For more about this, read "You Can't Say You Can't Play" by Vivian Paley.
I know that you used the phrase "mean girls" on purpose, to point out that it doesn't have to be so, but I think that the use of that term is in direct contrast with Lyn Michel Brown's point on the "Raising Daughters" page about the importance of not labeling girls as "mean" --- and to think about girls anger politically...
I agree that it is important not to assume that girls are mean--that's why I put the words in quotation marks. I hope it's clear that the girls in my discussion were not mean, either, and that our conversation showed that when girls (and boys) learn to explain their opinions and listen to each other, often what seemed to be mean was only a misunderstanding that can easily be clarified.
Hi Jane..I am having some problems with my 5 yr old and another girl in her class. She and this girl are hot and cold. Literally one day friends the next not. Which i do understand. Here lies the problem. The other little girl tends to be "naughty" and get many time outs at school. My daughter is now starting to follow in her footsteps. I have gotten calls from her teacher telling me she is doing what this little girl is and getting into trouble instead of what she is told. My daughter has never had a problem with this and I am not sure how to proceed with it.Thank you for any advice.
took years to discover that my reticent daughter had been consistently bullied by the same group of alpha girls since kindergarten things in much better perspective since her asperbergers diagnosis a born victim getting help with siocial skills training, but fear this will be a lifelong pattern both from conditioning and from delays inherent in her condition makes me so sad to see my smart,funny,beautiful,multi talented child so lost in the social universe school didn't do a damned thing the whole time including tell me ..... new school mid year 4th grade..... best thing i ever did she has found a niche and looks forward to going to school social skills still a work in progress
In Kindergarten, no one would sit with my daughter on her bus. I found out over a week later that she was sitting on the floor.
Now, in second grade, my daughter gets very excited when it is Monday. I assumed it was because she loves school. Instead, I found that it is because that is the only day of the week that she is allowed to play with one of the girls, the same girl who wouldn't let her sit on a bus seat.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to deal with this. My daughters personality is one that she wants everyone to love her. She will do anything to be accepted. We've spoken to her about making choices to have friends that make her feel good and who are kind, etc. Now she has begun to bring an attitude home (similar to what this other girl exhibits) and, though we've set limits to our tolerance and she seems to understand, our house is not one that is enjoyable because of the conflicts. I know that I can't separate her from girls at school. How do I get through to her that her choices right now are not the best ones?
I'm worried about my daughter, she went from the sweet girl of last year who was friends with everyone to being exclusive with two children. They don't feel exclusive towards her and have other playdates. She doesn't want to play with anyone else. She is almost four.
When I try to expand her friend group with playdates, she becomes mean to the children, saying she doesn't want to play with them or shooting dirty looks. I am very welcoming to everyone and so this really bothers me. She can be slow to warm up and very sensitive to slights by other children. I have already explained that when she feels sad about being excluded that is how others feel when she excludes them. "But their not my friend." She'll say without remorse. She is stubborn too. She is alienating her peer group wtih this behavior!
My daughter is in preschool and recently I have noticed that she is facing a lot of rejection by other girls. For eg she will want to sit with someone during circle time and they will move away from her. I have noticed this when I am volunteering in class. She seems to brush it off OK but it is so difficult to stand back and ignore it. I often ask her how things are going in school with the girls in hope of providing her with some support. She does not give me a lot of information.
Do you think that by asking her I am making a bigger deal of this than necessary? I don't want to give her a complex.
She is an outgoing and happy child and is open to bonding with other children so I can not understand why she is not being accepted.
There was one child who said that she did not want to be her friend. I thought that perhaps if she came over then they could bond. They got along very well but the very next day she said she did not want to be her friend today. I felt so sorry for my child because she was so excited to see her after their playdate.
I'm at a loss for solutions .......
I received a call today from a parent that my daughter is one of the mean girls - she is in first grade - and has been "bullying" another girl in her class - I immediately called the school, spoke with the principal and teacher and was told that there was no evidence to support this claim. My daughter prefers to play with boys although she does have a few girl friends - I have heard this other girls name mentioned as in so-and-so is always trying to play with me and I keep telling her no. I told my daughter we do not have to be friends with or like everyone we meet but we need to be polite - the other mother's claims of bullying seem to stem from the fact that my daughter does not want to be friends with her daughter - how do I handle this? My daughter is happy-go-lucky and fiercely independent- I do not want to let these issues get in the way of her having the social life she prefers and expecting her to play with a child at school she clearly has no interest in.
My grandaughter is 5 years old and just started kindergarten. She started to go to a different school, but circumstances forced her to change schools. Now she says that there are a couple of girls that are always calling her names and don't want to play with her and that she has no friends. One of the girls was hitting her but we got that problem taken care of. They are telling her your new and we don't want to play with you. Part of the problem is that she is shy, she really has never experienced this before she has been in daycare and in the other school she had friends. Now she is being ugly to them talking to them ugly and she told me that she wants them to feel like she does. What do I do.
Hi Jane!
I read this article because my son has been having problems with a particular child in his class. He is only in kindergarten and it started already last year in preschool! He started telling the other boys that my son is mean and they shouldn't be his friend. I asked him if he took a toy away or said anything to provoke him and he said no and I can't imagine him doing anything like that. He is very sweet, and shy and wants to be friends with everybody. Now that they are in kindergarten and in the same class, unfortunatly it has continued. He told him his lips are too big and also teased him because his glue sticks had Hannah Montana on them! I bought them because they were on sale and I figured they were only in kindergarten no one would even notice or care! I feel bad that he is always being picked on by this child and now he doesn't play with many of the boys in his class, mostly the girls. That is fine but I want him to be friends with the boys too. Every time I see this child's mother I have to bite my tongue not to say something to her and I also help out in my son's classroom once a week so I have a hard time not saying something to the child as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
This article interested me because my son who is in kindergarten has been having problems with another little boy in his class. It started last year in preschool when he told the other boys that my son was mean and they shouldn't be friends with him. I asked him if he had done anything to this child to make him say this and he said he hadn't. I can't imagine that he would have because he is not aggressive and always wants to play and be friends with everybody. This year he has teased him because his lips are too big and because he had glue sticks with Hannah Montana on them. I bought them because they were on sale and I figured no one would notice or care, they are only in kindergarten! I guess I was wrong. I am sure there have been more incidents than this that he hasn't told me about. Anyway now he mostly plays with the girls in his class which is not necessarily bad but I want him to be friends with the boys too. The little boy that came to his defense last year in preschool and that he is good friends with is in another section of kindergaten and so they don't have the same lunch or recess to ever play together at school and I want him to have more friends that are boys than just one. Every time I see this boy's mother I have to bite my tongue to not say anything to her and I volunteer in my son's classroom once a week and I have an even harder time not saying anything to the boy himself. Any advice would be appreciated. I just feel so bad for him, kids shouldn't have to deal with this already in kindergarten!
We are good friends with another couple whose daughter hurts my daughter at every opportunity. I don't know why. She is very quick to run to her mom with tears in her eyes and my daughter regularly is in trouble. How do I deal with this?
I'm actually pretty upset with the way most parents and now a lot of teachers are handling kids. "grown-ups" seem to be hudled in conversations with backs turned while these young kids(increasingly by the day) aggressively physically and so emotionally HURT other kids feelings ESPECIALLY the few descent-behavior kids left. Mind you, its probably because the kids are so darn TIRED from before-care,after-care, and not to mention the 8:30-3:00 school day starting at AGE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(and some mom's DON'T work...HA-go figure!) BOY was I born in the wrong generation.Somehow this "meaness"has to end and teachers (yes) and parents need to (yes) intervene. And please, enough with allowing 6^year olds to watch Hannah montana and icarly-talk about pushing your kid into adulthood just afterTODDLER age!!!these kids are going to be OUT of control and guess why ??Put THE EFFORT in NOW---TRY IT!!-it will pay off later---you will know your child!Don't let your "child "burn-out"...school is a long haul(I should know being a doctor myself)especially starting at 2!!?? Good luck to our American society!

It was awesome this year. The speaker concentrated on Simple Christmas. She used the verse Proverbs 17:1 that says, "Better is a dry crust with peace, than a house full of feasting with strife". What a great verse to remember not only for the holidays but for everyday living. God brought this verse to my heart months ago and it's what Luke and I strive for daily in our home and family.
This year I decorated a Christmas Tree themed table. I used this tutorial to make the little trees and felt to make the tree utensil holders. The only thing I added to the little trees were cotton balls in between to give them height. Oh, and instead of sewing them all, I just used a hot glue gun. It was a lot faster!I had a lot of fun making it and preparing it!
Here's a slide show of all the other tables that were decorated! They were all so beautiful!

Between two kids, being a military wife, having multiple volunteer positions, along with a job that I work from home, I rarely feel free anymore.
However, in recent weeks, I have found something that surprises me, by making me feel incredibly free.
Remember how free you felt when you got your driver's license? How about when you got your first car, and you knew that you could go anywhere you wanted, any time you wanted.
Do you remember how much you loved to drive when you were young. The power rush as you would speed down the highway or interstate? Well, suddenly, that and more has all come back to me.
Somehow, in the day to day grind, our very large truck has become the family car, and that is what I generally drive. Mu husband has taken over my cute little sporty black car to commute in, because it is much better on gas. While he loves it, it isn't something that I like to drive, at all. It is huge, and definitely not the most maneuverable thing you have ever driven. The car seats stay in it now. So, the black car is for single driving only.
I don't get to go many places with out the kids, but in the last couple of weeks, I have been out without them at least 2 times. Sad, I know, but still, the moment that car merges onto the free way, my heart soars. I feel the power kick in, and the car jumps up to 80 miles an hour. I can slide over into the next lane easily, without fear of massive blind spots like in the big car. If there isn't any room for me to merge, it isn't a problem. The turbo has already kicked in, and that car can just fly up on to make it's own space.
I get to crank my music up. I get to sing along to anything I like. I can even repeat the bad words as loudly as I want, if I so choose. I am in control of it all. I have the power and the freedom to go where I want, and when I want again.
I can really see now, how some people get into racing, and cars in general. While I doubt I will ever be much of an gear head, I think I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the little black sporty cars that can make your spirits soar as high as the tachometer, or even higher.

Feeling Free
Between two kids, being a military wife, having multiple volunteer positions, along with a job that I work from home, I rarely feel free anymore.

While mini doll and micro toy collection has long been an established play pattern in the U.K., the category still represents a largely untapped opportunity for licensors on the girls side.
Currently, the key drivers for the mini doll segment's 30% year-on-year growth are non-licensed in-house brands such as Polly Pocket (Mattel/Origin Products), Mini Baby Born (Zapf Creations) and Magic Merbabies (Vivid Imaginations). However, 'virtually every other category in the industry has been impacted by entertainment licensing, so it's only a matter of time,' says Vivid Imaginations CEO and co-founder Nick Austin.
Manufacturers and licensors generally concur that the mini/micro category offers a stronger licensing opportunity for girls than boys. 'The boys area is very busy, and there's hardly any entertainment licensing on the girls side,' says Austin, whose company will be producing a line of mini figures for the Care Bears next year and may expand the range to include micro collectibles in compact environments. 'Micro collection seems to play better for girls, and therefore, we will be looking for licenses that can play into that collection, display and treasuring position.'
Licensors aiming to tap into the category's growing power in the girls market should not only consider their property's collectible elements, but also its overall play value and scope for environments. 'If you look at something like Hamtaro [which CPLG represents in the U.K.], obviously it's going to have a collectible play pattern based upon the characters and story lines of the show,' says Steve Manners, U.K. managing director for Copyright Promotions Licensing Group (CPLG). While Hamtaro's deep well of characters is not a requirement to category translation, it certainly helps. 'After all,' notes Manners, 'there's only so much you can do with environments – there are only so many that work with your characters.'
And since the category is still driven by non-licensed brands, there is scope for properties without entertainment applications. To wit: while Care Bears has historically enjoyed life on the big and small screen, CPLG is initially positioning it as a gift property in the U.K. 'There are a lot of elements to Care Bears that work well for micro play without film or TV,' says Manners. 'But it is more about gift-giving and emotion than play patterns,' which is why CPLG is currently weighing whether it will move forward on the micro environments front.
As the licensing industry takes baby steps into branded micro play for girls, manufacturers are moving forward on third-party licensing plans for their in-house properties. In January, Vivid will be launching a new range of micro collectible pets called Lottalittles. Targeted at girls ages three to seven, the Lottalittles line comprises more than 100 micro-sized puppies, kittens, bunnies and ponies. Each pet in the range will be sold with accessories that facilitate roleplay, as well as a name and personality profile that should boost collectibility.
Playmates has signed on as a joint-venture partner and will simultaneously market the range in the U.S. With the line boasting retail price points ranging from around US$8 to US$39, Vivid projects first-year sales at US$12 million. With the goal of establishing Lottalittles as one of the top-five girls collectible lines in the U.K., Vivid is currently exploring opportunities for a third-party licensing program that's expected to start rolling out as early as the second half of 2004.
'Once we've established the property, we see the potential to add licenses across the board for girls, with the possibility of a boys option,' says Austin. 'And if Magic Merbabies continues to perform as well as it has been, we may do third-party licensing on that brand next year.'
While Vivid's girls micro business has skyrocketed since the mid-'90s through in-house brands Animal Hospital, Puppy in My Pocket, Teeny Weeny Families and Magic Merbabies, it's been fairly low-key on the micro level for boys given that larger action figures still dominate the toy market. Though driven by entertainment, the boys micro segment has 'suffered in recent years with the demise of Micro Machines and a lack of new investment,' says Austin. That said, Vivid is currently developing a new micro concept for boys, the details of which were still under wraps at press time.

2005 Best's Great Western Cabernet Sauvignon
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Cellar 3 - 4 years (2011-2012)
- Closure: Screw Cap
The Best's Great Western wines are the finest expression of Shiraz and Cabernet that Viv Thomson produces on a regular basis. His philosophy is simple: "No vine is picked until its grown enough to be mature, no grape used unless it is in peak condition, no parcel considered unless it lives up to the winemakers exacting standards." Vinification takes place in open stainless steel fermenters.
A very classy Cabernet which was partially sourced from the original three rows of Best's 1800's nursery block at Concongella together with two blocks planted in the early 1980's. In order to retain the grapes natural freshness and fruit characters the wine was given a long, cool fermentation. It was aged for nineteen months in a combination of French oak barriques and American oak puncheons. Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Perfumed nose of blackcurrant followed by a hint of cedar and cigar box, with very spicy back palate. Fine grained tannins, excellent balance. Aftertaste of spice, blackcurrant and white pepper.
Cellar 3-4 years (2011-2012)

Underground Farmers Market Launching in DC
Photo by PoPville flickr user rockcreek
"Dear PoP,
I am the organizer for the DC Grey Farmers Market which is sponsored by Grey DC . We are planning our first ever market and the event will be taking place in Petworth!
We are looking for small food vendors who would like to sell food that they have made or grown."
Their Web site says:
"A grey market, also known as parallel market, is the trade of a commodity through distribution channels which, while legal, are unofficial, unauthorized, or unintended by the original manufacturer."
You can find more info here. Anyone ever heard of a grey market before? Think this is a good idea for DC?

The Board of Directors of AIMSS from left to right are as follows: Dr Matthew Mac Partlin, Sam Michael, Garry Connelly (Chairman), Dr Michael Henderson, Andrew Papadopoulos, Mark Larkham, Dr Michelle Gatton.
The Australian Institute for Motor Sport Safety (AIMSS) is pleased to welcome Dr Matthew Mac Partlin as its newest Director, following the retirement of inaugural Chairman Dr Michael Henderson at the most recent board meeting in Sydney.
Dr Henderson, a CAMS Life Member and multiple CAMS award winner, was instrumental in the establishment of AIMSS in 2006, and thus helped to bring about important changes to motor sport safety here in Australia and around the world.
While Dr Henderson takes a well-deserved break from the AIMSS board, he certainly won't be lost to motor sport, continuing his work with the Global Institute of Motor Sport Safety and still enjoying active club level competition.
Current AIMSS Chairman Garry Connelly thanked Dr Henderson for his service and dedication, as well as the important safety contributions he made to the industry – contributions that have no doubt saved countless lives.
"Dr Michael Henderson has been an outstanding contributor to motor sport safety for half a century," Mr Connelly said.
"The significance of his work has been enormous. Michael has served not only Australian motor sport both as a doctor and as the first Chairman of AIMSS, he has also played a major role globally through his work at the FIA Institute for Motor Sport Safety, where he was a Fellow, and then at the newly established Global Institute for Motor Sport Safety.
"Few people realise that he was the person who, following his experience with fighter planes, introduced the six point harness to racing cars, to prevent drivers from 'submarining' during a crash.
This followed the research he documented in his seminal 1968 book Motor Racing in Safety and was brought into further prominence through his work – including a prototype head restraint – with Ferrari and Pininfarina in designing the 1969 Sigma GP safety concept F1 car.
"Michael has always been a strong advocate for the correct fitting and use of harnesses and all other safety equipment, along with his extensive research work on injury statistics and biomechanics, hydration and other physiological parameters."
Dr Henderson said he was proud of his achievements and was looking forward to the next chapter in AIMSS' history.
"I leave AIMSS with regret, but time moves on and the organisation is in good safe hands," Dr Henderson said.
"Motor sport gets better and more exciting all the time and AIMSS will continue its efforts to moderate the inevitable risk.
"Its research-based recommendations will help not only CAMS but also the whole FIA family to make the sport as safe as possible."
Dr Mac Partlin joins AIMSS with a strong background in motor sport safety advocacy. He is currently a member of the National Medical Advisory Council for the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS), as well as deputy chief medical officer for Rally Australia and assistant chief medical officer for the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix among other important roles in the industry, including working with the FIA.
Dr Mac Partlin regularly attends a number of events, with his experience highly sought after at Medical Centres both in Australia and around the world.??He said he was excited about the opportunity that lay ahead.
"It is an honour to have been nominated and accepted as a member of the Board of Directors for an entity such as AIMSS," Dr Mac Partlin said.
"And to have been nominated by someone with the pedigree of Dr Michael Henderson is particularly humbling. I hope that I can bring an equal passion and enthusiasm for the evolution of safety in motorsport and help to contribute to Australia's efforts in this regard."
Mr Connelly added that everyone involved with AIMSS was looking forward to working with Dr Mac Partlin to continue the organisations important work.
"Our new director Dr Matthew Mac Partlin also has a medical background and brings to our board a commitment not only to medicine particularly in the trauma area, but also to motor sport through his many roles."
Dr Mac Partlin joins fellow directors Dr Michelle Gatton, Mark Larkham, Sam Michael, Michael Myers, Andrew Papadopoulos and Chairman, Garry Connelly on the AIMSS Board.
AIMSS will shortly be announcing new research initiatives, updates on current projects and will be inviting CAMS members and motor sport stakeholders to submit suggestions and proposals for motor sport safety research projects to be initiated in 2018.

Given that Lord Young is only an unpaid adviser to the Government rather than under collective responsibility, I don't see how Cameron has a right to silence him.
I know that Young's comments will be embarrassing for the Government and the opposition and trade unions have been predictably hysterical in condemning him. It would have been better if Young could have expressed sympathy for those who have lost ther jobs and are finding the economic situation tight.
But his basic points were not inaccurate. They certainly were not "offensive" as a Downing Street lackey called them. With interest rates at 0.5%, those for whom a mortgage is their main expenditure have done OK. This recession has been less calamitous for more people than other recessions.
There is belt-tightening and uncertainty, but not soaring costs for the majority. Very few people have had their homes repossessed. Government spending is only being cut back to the level it was three years ago. Some people are suffering and that is tragic, but it is a great shame that Cameron could not simply have said: "Those are his views, he is entitled to express them. It is not the view of me or my Government."
The Daily Mash makes a fair point:
The Tory peer was later forced to apologise for his sadistic, upper-class rightness, adding: "I'm very old. Look at my bow tie. I'm not right in the head.
"I now realise that if your income stays much the same and your biggest monthly expense goes down quite a lot then you're worse off. You don't need a PhD in maths to work that one out.
"And I don't know what I was thinking when I said some people think they have a right to state support. I suppose I must have just thought it was okay because it's a view shared by more than half the Cabinet and the vast majority of the people in this country.
"I'm so old. Can I have a cup of tea now?"

HBO renews Westworld for a second season
WESTWORLD, another show in a long string of shows based on movies, is apparently a huge hit for HBO! In fact, it's actually getting better ratings than GAME OF THRONES' first season! Which means - you guessed it - the show is getting a second season renewal! Yay!
Showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy had this to say about the good news:
We're thrilled that the saga of Westworld will continue for another season..During the lengthy journey to the screen, our incredibly talented actors, staff and crew became a family, and we look forward to the privilege of continuing this experience with them. We're also thankful to all of our amazing partners at HBO, WBTV, and Bad Robot for their steadfast support, imagination and ambition. We simply couldn't have made this show anywhere else.
Good for them, the show is awesome.
Two other shows from HBO are also getting renewed as well: DIVORCE starring Thomas Haden Church and Sarah Jessica Parker as the eponymous divorcees, and INSECURE, created by NIGHTLY NEWS anchor Larry Whitmore, about two black female friends and their awkward day-to-day trials-and-tribulations.
No release dates are set in stone yet, although DIVORCE and INSECURE are reportedly scheduled for sometime in 2017 while WESTWORLD, due its special-effects and larger scope, might not premiere until early 2018.
So what say you guys? Fans of any of the shows? And if so, excited for more episodes?
|Extra Tidbit:
|The 1973 WESTWORLD film had a sequel of its own, called FUTUREWORLD (1976).

I'm still working on operations and parameters but I had to take a detour into the Data Dictionary subsystem this week. First to implement Object Instance Types and then to redesign what it means to be a preferred type. I also revisited Action Language design since I've had a number of requests for more information on this. I hope to publish a technical note next week explaining my design choices for the OOA09 Action Language. I'm not sure yet how much executable support for the Action Language will be in the next build. However, the OOA Tool simulator is high on my priority list.
Now back to data types. Object instance references (sometimes called handles) are required at the event and operational level, e.g. Lifecycle Model actions define a Self Parameter which references the event destination object instance. There aren't any special attributes for object instance types so they are always predefined. I have adopted the naming convention
Object Instance<Example Object> for object instance types. It is important to note that data types are independent of multiplicity and conditionality in OOA09 since they define a single unit of data. Most programming languages define multiplicity as a special type of data type, e.g.
int[]. However, OOA09 associates multiplicity with data items (event data items, parameters and variables). This eliminates the need for multiple forms of object instance types (or other data types).
I originally introduced the notion of a predefined type so that Executable UML Core Types could be defined in a standard way while also allowing any OOA09 compatible tool to add their own predefined types, i.e. actual predefined types are defined at the tooling level rather than by the formalism. However, I ran in to a problem when I started looking at the typing of parameters and variables across all the operations required in OOA09. Action Language code requires permanent implicit access to a subset of core types (i.e. Boolean, Integer, Real and String) so that transient expressions can be evaluated. It also requires permanent implicit access to all object instance types so that results from a
Select statement can be properly typed. To enable implicit access, all predefined types are now permanently defined in all domains. Furthermore, actual predefined types are now defined by the formalism, i.e. OOA09 compatible tools can't define their own predefined types anymore. OOA Tool now parses but ignores all predefined types when a project is loaded and no longer outputs predefined types when a project is saved. However, this change introduced several additional problems.
The first problem was that users could no longer define their own core types. This problem was solved by allowing users to create user defined types which override predefined types while still allowing users to access the original predefined types. To specify a predefined type, a user simply needs to add a
<> suffix. However, this suffix doesn't need to be used for predefined types unless the user has overridden those predefined types. Within the OOA of OOA, all data type identifiers now include a predefined status to ensure predefined types are distinct from user defined types.
Another minor problem was that the OOA Tool tree browser becomes cluttered with predefined types. I solved this by no longer showing predefined types in the tree browser. However, I will need to provide some way of accessing predefined types in the future since data type forms show all references to those data types and that information is useful even for predefined types.
An interesting issue with regards to object instance types is whether to allow them to be used as attribute types. The obvious answer is no since you are effectively defining a hidden relationship by doing so. However, there is no technical reason for saying no. I think I will provide a project (and user property) level option for allowing object instance attribute types which will default to disallowing them. This logic can be incorporated into the existing
Data Type Acceptable status associated with attributes.

3 Gold album presentations (when gold was 250,000 sales)
18 albums to their credit
Charting albums in the USA and album of the year in Europe
5.0 out of 5 stars Nektar - 'A Tab In The Ocean'
Mike Reed "Mike Reed" (USA)
This review is from: A Tab In The Ocean Deluxe Edition 2-disc (Audio CD)
Initially saw the light of day in 1972, as this is Nektar's most accomplished record - even to this date. Believe this is the band's second lp. At first I couldn't put down this (much-welcomed) 2-CD expanded reissue. Couldn't get enough of the sixteen-minute ground-breaking (in a sense) out-standing timeless progressive gem title cut "A Tab In The Ocean", the powerful "Waves" and "King Of Twilight". First time I heard disc one - it sort of reminded me of maybe Yes-meets-Emerson Lake & Palmer. Disc two continues to show Nektar's true musical genius with tunes like "New Day Dawning", the brilliant "Gooday" and "The Life I've Been Leading". This was my first time of hearing the 'original' album version of the song "A Tab In The Ocean" - previously, I have only heard it on their 'Live 2002' 2-CD piece that I purchased awhile back shortly after I finally gained full-access to the Internet. Again like it's follow-up 'Sounds Like This' - 'A Tab In The Ocean' appears to have several pressings / versions of this CD available. Highly recommended for fans of early Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, pre-1975 Pink Floyd and Supertramp.

Getting ready for this move to the Big Island was only the second time in my life that I have had to breathe into a paper bag due to stress – and the first time was when I was 25! I later learned from a Special Forces ("Green Berets") veteran who completed a five-year tour in Vietnam that he had approached a nervous breakdown while trying to pack up their house while his wife was in Hawaii with the kids. And finally I met a man who said at the end of their move he was so frazzled that he would pick up the some small, insignificant item from their kitchen counter, walk all around the house, and end up putting it back in the same spot!
Future blogs will address why it can be a challenge. For now, our story will continue in the next posting.

A US appeals court has slapped Barclays with an order to return $297m to hedge fund Black Diamond for breaching a derivatives agreement.
Black Diamond capital management unit filed a lawsuit in 2008 but Justice Eileen Bransten in state Supreme Court in Manhattan initially dismissed the agreement breach claim in 2012.
However, on 24 October, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, a midlevel appeals court, reversed that ruling in a 3-2 decision.
The 2008 lawsuit claims that one of Britain's biggest banks, Barclays, defaulted on a $40m (£25m, €29m) collateral call made at the height of the credit crisis.
However, Barclays said it only owed a dramatically lower amount, $5m, and claimed it had remitted it to Black Diamond two days after the call.
At this time, Black Diamond declared Barclays in default.
The three judge majority slammed the bank in its decision statement by not making the payment on time and crucially for failing to adhere to the contract's dispute resolution procedures.
"The evidence in the record undeniably shows that Barclays failed to pay the undisputed amount by the deadline, and establishes as a matter of law that Barclays did not comply with the (contract's) dispute resolution process," the judges said.
Barclays told IBTimes UK: "We are disappointed with and disagree with the court's decision. We are evaluating our options with respect to an appeal."
The £13bn Black Hole
While the three vote majority means that Barclays is liable for a near $300m return of funds to Black Diamond, there were two judges that disagreed with the decision.
The two judges said there are questions of fact over whether Barclays disputed the $40m call in an adequately speedy timeframe.
The agreement stems from a total return swap that was signed in 2005.
The complex derivative was designed to transfer the benefits and risks of an investment in a Barclays-held portfolio of corporate debt instruments to Black Diamond in exchange for financing fees paid to the bank.
The swap permitted both sides of the deal, Black Diamond and Barclays, to make collateral demands on each other based on changes to the value of the underlying loans.
According to the terms of the agreement, confirmed by the court, Black Diamond was allowed to terminate the deal and demand a return of its entire collateral, which the hedge fund has estimated at $297m, if it declared Barclays in default.
At the end of July, Barclays issued the largest cash call, by a British bank, for £5.8bn to help fill £12.8bn capital hole.
The case is BDC Finance v. Barclays Bank, New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, No. 9906.

I don't really hate Gibsons, I was just having a laugh. I do like it when I'm working on something and think of a part from something totally unrelated and realise it will work perfectly, so nice work there.
As for heaters, my dad's 203 has a smiths heater in it which would be fairly right for the period. Otherwise, a 404 or 504 heater should fit in there pretty easily. The heater in Binky works great. Once it's warm (3-5 minutes) it warms things up nicely
Thanks Binky,
Smiths seem to make a fairly wide range of models.
Is this the model to fit in a 203?
The 203 used to have an odd feed for the heater. Came off the block drain plug. You won't have that trouble with your 403 motor. Gordon used to think that the early model with the front air vent could be adapted as a flow through heater but I've never tried. The standard Peugeot heater cores (and that includes the 504) were too fine and used to clog up. No amount of reverse flushing ever got them like new again. A 203 generally has enough unintended flow through ventilation to stop a recirculating heater being stuffy. I was going to put a 403b heater in mine but the box is far too large. It would be nice to have a heater for frosty mornings. They also mist up so badly. I used to drive with one hand, the other warming in my pocket on frosty night runs over the Pentlands.
Interesting what you say about Standard Peugeot heater cores there Russell. It was precisely my experience with the 403's that I owned, that no amount of flushing could make them work properly.
Because of that, I was very hesitant to get an old 203 heater from French Ebay and it was why I was asking if anyone knew if they were actually any good.
This leads me further towards my original idea of the Hilux heater, as I know for sure that Jap heaters are almost always very good.
If it fits and I get that to work I'll show all the fitments as I go so others might have a go as well.
I'm surprised that you are still suffering without a heater in your car. I would find it intolerable as I've recently injured my arm and often require heat to keep the pain at bay. Not only that, but fogging up would be way too dangerous in many circumstances, not just frosty mornings.
Also I'm going to go to a bit of trouble to eliminate 'unintended airflow' with new rubbers and grommets and blocking of holes and underfelt and carpets.
Did I hear of someone with carpet patterns?
No matter it won't be too difficult to work that out. I have some dressmakers heavy patternmaking card.
Tonight I got one sill and two doors on. Whooppee!!! Will take photos when I get the trim on the doors.
Those alloy mudguard edges need a good sanding and polishing. I think they'll need a coat of lacquer as well, once polished, to stop them going black soon afterwards. Any ideas on that?
We used to spray them with hair spray after polishing. It doesn't affect the metal and is as hard as whatever. I have also been told to spray it across the leading edges of the bonnet and guards as it makes it easier to remove bugs and stuff but I haven't done that yet.
At the moment the Carolyn's poor old 203 would be lucky to do 400 miles a year and I don't think it has been in the rain for the last 7 or 8 years let alone driven at night to attract bugs over the front of it.
Have a peep at these..........
Obviously they're here and you are there, but they might provide a little inspiration. I've never used one, and have no idea how good/bad they are, can't vouch for them etc., etc..
Started out with nothing, still got most of it left.
I don't think there's a particular "right" model of Smiths heater, just that they were a very common aftermarket heater back then. The one you pictured there is more fancy than dad's one...
Now they look fantastic! I would seriously consider going that direction were I in the market for retrofitting a heater
I had a good look at your T7 heaters Mike, and I'm pretty sure I'll use one. They seem to have a lot of things worked out and they're pretty well priced. I like the extra fittings that go through the firewall , providing a neat solution for the water pipe layout, and I'll probably get the modular unit with an outlet on top, with Y fitting to feed the demisters. And a water switch operated by one of the superfluous cables on the dash. Great stuff.
Thanks so much for that link.
Like I said, I've never used one, and can't vouch for them in any way.
But If I'd found them three or four years ago I'd certainly have given one a try. Let us know how you get on.

What a treat to have the Renault response. Thankyou mister Floride.
So I hope you will enjoy these next lot now that the doors are fitted.
Wow it's a tricky thing getting those hinges to interlock.
Managed it almost seamlessly, but still the obligatory chip in the sill on one side. Bugger.
Can't wait for the next phase, the rubbers and the windows.
You will only ever be allowed to view my car at a distance. Or in a dim light. Unrestored so all the blemishes of 60 years. Applies to the owner too.
Russell, I'm sure when you get to see Toots in person you'll notice enough blemishes and probably little dings from sticks and mud and stuff , to make you feel quite comfortable.
I ain't no oil painting meself. Just an old hippy.
The best colour combination I ever saw was on a ?65 Fiat 124-Probably a similar blue & red leather[?] seats. It should look stunning when 'the cook has done her bit.
i have always queried clear over a solid colour when it was specifically designed for metallic paint & to my observation was never a factory finish over a straight colour-in fact I have seen many a car devalued as the panel shop has put clear over a perfect paint match only to darken the repaired works colour.
Just an aside -I have never met Dino but is anyone sure that he looks like that?????
Keep up the good work.
I've been fitting rubbers of late. No probs with the quarter vents apart from quite a lot of cutting to fit, when I was expecting to be getting the right thing, but as I got all the door rubbers on the doors became very hard to close. In fact they have to be severely slammed to make the full closure.
As it is this is unacceptable but I'm hoping the rubber will compress over a small amount of time.
These rubbers were purchased from Spectrum Rubber and are of generic type. So are all the rubbers they sent me. I am less than pleased about this as it wasn't explained to me before I forked out a fair bit of dough. The door rubbers are made with a piece that has to be torn out, leaving a 'U' or an 'n' depending on how you fix it. Lucky I showed them to Mal as there was no accompanying explanation as to it's use.
Along the tops of the doors I chose to glue it as an 'n' because I figured the other way would collect water. But looking at original rubber it is a one piece extrusion that has less dimension.
The outer weather shield that goes on the door windows is a 'T' shape which is different to the original 'L' but having fitted one I'm happy with that.
Anyone used that generic door stuff? Have I done something wrong or will it eventually become a civilized door close?
everyone I know who has used those door rubbers has same problem
the rubbers take a long time to squash
a light hollow O section seems to work well or the grey foam pipe insulation cut to suit
does not look original but works OK
check that the vertical rubber on the B pillar is not cause of hard door closing
I used a softer section there it seemed to help
if you want your screens not to leak advise using a mastic.
it is possible to add it later either way is messy
Doors were closing fine with just that section in place.check that the vertical rubber on the B pillar is not cause of hard door closing
I used a softer section there it seemed to help
Yeah I thought so. The originals are all fairly well sealed with some hard grey stuff. I thought I'd just lift the flap and run round afterwards with the mastic. By the way, I'm getting screen rubbers from germany as Spectrum has been saying they'll get them in about a week since about last November. Lucky, I wouldn't want to be dealing with dodgy screen rubbers. Dodgy door ones are bad enough. Nearly a day's work fitting them so far and the same stuff on the boot is just not too good either. It looks like it probably seals but it pushes the lid out so the alignment is worse than I was hoping for. Bugger.if you want your screens not to leak advise using a mastic.
it is possible to add it later either way is messy
as you say, b........... r
tho not my preferred supplier
Obriens reckon they have a "better" screen rubber, but they want to install it for $
they did a mates rear window on early 203 seemed ok to me
could not see the difference
Use a silicone spray on your new rubbers to ease closing.
We used this treatment on new cars when doing pre-delivery. We achieved good flush fitting doors this way.

I got the correct section door rubber from Neoretro (France) for my 203 wagon. At 48.50 euros for 14 metres it was nearly half the price Spectrum wanted.
Still waiting for a windscreen rubber from Spectrum - they said six weeks four weeks ago.
They seem to have a lot of good stuff to suit our cars and they have an English section of their website.
I'm now regretting not getting it all from there.
Does the silicone spray soften the rubber up to allow it to compress more? I have some and will try that if so, thanks.

Licence to practise: 's' and 'c' spellings
British and American spelling differences
Are you tired of trying to figure out when to use the words practice and practise? What's the difference, and does it really matter? There are many variations between British and American spellings, but this has got to be one of the most confusing and frustrating. Especially since, to British eyes, both look like perfectly normal and usable words. Similarly, 'licence' and 'license' cause us problems. When should you use which spelling?
By the end of this post, you will have a clear and precise formula that will tell you when and how to use each spelling variation.
Keep reading, you're going to get it right every time.
S for the verb, c for the noun
It doesn't help us Brits that, often, spellcheck systems rely on US dictionaries. This can mean that even when we do get it right, we're told it's wrong!
In British English, we use the 's' version of the word to indicate that it is a verb, or a doing word. For example:
I practised my lines for the school play.
When I arrived I found him practising his presentation for the morning.
We use the 'c' spelling to indicate that the word is a noun, an object.
I found that her practice had much improved since my last visit.
After school I took Joey to football practice.
In American English, the 'c' spelling is used for both the verb and the noun.
License or licence?
The same applies for the word 'licence'. In British English, the 'c' version is the noun, the 's' version the verb:
Are you licensed to drive that car?
Yes, here is my provisional driving licence
Helpful advice
A useful way to remember the distinction is to consider the words 'advise' and 'advice'. It's easier to remember that 's' indicates the verb and 'c' the noun here, because the two versions sound different when spoken aloud. In this way 'advice / advise' serves as a memory aid. So too can 'device / devise'.
Can I offer you some friendly advice?
I wonder if you might be able to advise me.
I'm heading over to the Citizens Advice Bureau
We need to devise some kind of plan
Are you using a listening device?
Both 'advise / advice' and 'devise / device' use the same spellings in American English as in British. One less variation to remember – let's consider that a freebie from the Grammar Fairy.
So far, so good. But what do we do when we're talking about a person who licenses something? Are they a licensee, or a licencee?
Licencee or licensee?
This is more tricky. After all, 'one who licenses' is a person, so surely that's a noun? Afraid not. A useful tip is to consider what the word means. A licensee is someone who licenses (verb). The word is born from the verb, so we can spell it like the verb – licensee.
The only other people who have access to our software are our licensees.
'Advise' can help us here too. Think about a person who gives you advice. Are they an 'advicer' or an 'adviser'?
It's a lot easier to spot that 'advicer' is wrong. It sounds too harsh when it's spoken aloud. 'Adviser', with an 's', is softer, like the word should sound. But also, we can apply our rule. An adviser is 'one who advises' (verb) – because the word is born from the verb, we spell it like the verb.
Words ending in -ce / -se
Finally, there are some words ending in -ce in British English, which end differently, -se, in American English
Pretence (British) Pretense (American)
Defence (British) Defense (American)
Offence (British) Offense (American)
These, confusingly, are all nouns. You don't need to learn a rule to apply here, they're just different. Luckily, there aren't many of them, so once you've burned them into the memory there's not a lot to worry about.
