Possibly because the the Winchester 1911SL (self loading) shotgun was the original John M. Browning automatic shotgun design that eventually went on to become (with some slight changes the Browning Auto-5.
It used the Browning short-recoil cycle. Firing recoil initiates a rearward movement of the locked barrel/bolt unit. The barrel/bolt assembly is slowed by the barrel lug compressing a recoil-spring. This is combined with the binding effect of a friction washer assembly that surrounds the magazine tube. The barrel lug impacts a stop on the receiver face. The barrel's rearward movement stops abruptly and in sequence, the bolt unlocks and disengages from the barrel extension while extracting and ejecting the spent case. All the while being slowed by a bolt recoil spring mounted in the butt-stock. The barrel recoil spring returns the barrel and extension into battery. The bolt recoil spring starts the bolt forward and the elevation of new cartridge in line to the breech where lock up in the barrel extension and breech occurs.
This model is unique in that there is no bolt handle. You prepare it to fire by grasping a knurled portion of the barrel, behind the front sight and compressing the barrel down into the receiver to duplicate its short-recoil firing cycle. The sear and disconnector arrangement is almost identical to that of the 1911 Colt pistol, which Browning also designed. Also, all of the metal component parts (incl the receiver and barrel extension) are milled from forged steel billets, a prohibitively costly process in this day and time.
The 1911 SL as designed suffered from a barrel recoil spring that weakened quickly and caused the barrel to batter at its stop. A symptom of the spring fatigue is the fore-stock splitting from the repeated shock. The butt-stock is a tri-laminate design that doesn't withstand field use and will eventually separate. The bolt recoil spring guide (a metal capped wooden dowel), has a tendency to swell and soften. The result is it will break the milled-out center layer of the butt-stock. More often than not, the result is binding of the bolt recoil spring. Your shotgun is now a club since there is no bolt handle to assist the bolt back into battery with the barrel breech.
JM Browning and Winchester had a serious disagreement over this shotgun. Browning severed all relations with Winchester and took the design to Herstal, Belgium. It was then produced under license by Fabrique Nationale des Armes (FN) as the Browning Automatic Shotgun (aka the Auto-5). Unlike the 1911 SL, it had a bolt handle no knurling on the barrel.

What do you do if the alarm starts going off as soon as the replacment car battery is connected?
You should be able to disarm the alarm once it starts going off, with the keyless entry remote. I had this naggin problem with my alarm doing the same thing and eventually ended up disabling the alarm system. The module is located under the drivers dash area, above your left foot (if you were seated in a driving position with both feet on the floor. Mine was a little black box. I just disconnected this device and the problem was solved. I no longer have an alarm (panic button though). I figured it was overkill to have an alarm with starter kill feature for a minivan. I don't think minivans are top on the theft rate lists. The only person it kept from driving the van was me. The alarm would go off for no reason (as well as when the battery went dead and was either recharged or replaced).
What percentage of Americans marry at least once throughout their lifetime?
There is no recorded statistic on this matter. I am sure it is because it's a vast subject, to categorize the women and find out which of them exactly is getting married twice or thrice, so that implies dividing through religion, ethnic, age, etc etc... But in my point of view people who are marrying more than 2 times, have to sort themselves out first so as to not commit the same mistake with future partners.
