The Potentially Harsh Reality of the Rockets' Shooting Woes
An article talking about the differences in the long range shooting of the 2012 and 2013 Rockets. It's shameless self promotion, but I thought some of you guys might find it interesting. I've read TDS for a couple years and think it's a pretty smart community.

The philosopher is like a man fasting in the midst of universal intoxication. He alone perceives the illusion of which all creatures are the willing playthings; he is less duped than his neighbor by his own nature. He judges more sanely, he sees things as they are. It is in this that his liberty consists -- in the ability to see clearly and soberly, in the power of mental record.Henri-Frédéric Amiel More

I have been a full-time youth pastor for 7 years. I have also been a youth intern for 3 years before that. One thing that I have noticed is that youth pastors get a lot of the jokes. Some of them a…
I've been in ministry for nine years. Three years Jr. High Staff/Interning, a year and a half double-dipping in Jr&Sr High (at two different churches), another two years as an Intern for High School Ministry, and the past (almost) two years as Youth Pastor. These 5 myths. SPOT ON.
He blesses me with B.
Frustrated, confused and sad at how tomorrow's events are supposed to pan-out.
I asked B to pray for me tonight. And just now, over our phone call, he prayed for me. Without hesitation he said "I'm praying for it right now. You ready?"
Here's what has me so flustered about tomorrow:
Teaching Sunday School for my youths (at my church in central SD). 9am-Noon
A California wedding reception for an old friend of mine (in Escondido). 1:30-5:30pm
A baptism for one of my junior high girls (@ Mission Bay). 2/3pm
A funeral/Memorial service for one of my best friends dad (downtown SD). 4pm
A Sherlock meet up with other fans (Seaport Village–downtown SD). 5pm
And church in Escondido at 7pm.
Not only do I not know how I'm going to physically do this, but emotionally. The funeral definitely has me reeling. I'm one of those "I cry everything in movies" kind of girls. The loss of someone that I actually knew is really hard.
Yes, I believe that he was saved and I shouldn't be sad. It's just the sadness of the whole family that breaks my heart. I don't like seeing others in pain.
We lost one.
He gained him.
Kingdom minded, right?
No more crocodile tears, Shawna.
Stupid vertigo
I haven't had a spell this bad in a long time.
I couldn't sleep last night.
Up and down to the bathroom to go hover in hopes of throwing up just to get the feeling to go away.
I have anti-nausea medicine, but it tends to make me more light headed.
I'm supposed to fill a shift at Dominos today too.
Why do things always happen on busy days?
I guess I'm being told to slow down.

Student Council Representative Body releases manifesto
Document calls for increased engagement with student body
First-year College student Abraham Axler, chair of Student Council's representative body, recently released what he termed a "Representative Manifesto" in an attempt to solve some of the productivity and communication problems he says have plagued Student Council in the past. The manifesto is the result of a two-week collaborative effort between Axler, other representatives and the student body.
"I think, in some ways, the biggest challenge is convincing people who have a position is that they can do something with it," Axler said. "We need to instill in them a sense of duty and service to their constituents."
The manifesto also addressed a lack of participation from the student body. The majority of representatives are appointed, rather than elected, and the non-competitive nature of recent elections has resulted in a lack of energy and interest among students, Axler said.
"This is not a moment to relish in the privilege, in the ease of being seated through appointment," the manifesto reads. "This is an opportunity to demonstrate to your constituents that you are an able and deserving representative. In recent years, our representative body has been plagued by a profound sense of boredom and dissatisfaction. Such a condition is unacceptable, as it undermines the entire purpose of the representative body: advocacy and action."
To help remedy these problems, Axler has proposed a set of solutions which together encourage participation from both the student body and current representatives.
The manifesto introduces three solutions: taking advantage of the website "SpeakUpUVa," personally reaching out to students around Grounds and using a productivity technique called "Objective: Key Results."
SpeakUpUVa was started a few years ago as a public forum which allows students to voice opinions and vote for issues they find important, serving as a platform for Council representatives to garner students' perspectives and feedback.
"A distinct advantage of SpeakUp is that it quantifies student concern," Axler said.
The OKR, meanwhile, is a concept completely new to Council. The technique — popularized by companies like Google and Intel — would force representatives to come up with challenging objectives. Results are evaluated on a scale from 0-1. Representatives' scores will offer students a chance to see how effective their representatives have been at accomplishing tasks.
"The OKRs would be a totally new thing," Axler said. "That sense of internal accountability would help because it's such [a] large organization, it's hard to measure and keep track of everyone's accomplishments. The OKRs would really help us see the progress within the organization, as well as allow the constituents to see the progress their reps are making."
Fourth-year College student Michael Promisel, the outgoing chair of the representative body, said he has high hopes for the future of Student Council in its new term.
"In my discussion with Abe [Axler] and the rest of the reps, I really encouraged them to capitalize on the strides we made this year," Promisel said. "We're certainly not perfect, but we made steps to turn in the right direction and have built a lot momentum. Abe has some great visions and I can't wait to see them executed."

Washington Gardens residents cry for help as water meter thieves strike again
'We are under attack!'
A new band of water meter thieves is causing much distress for residents of Washington Gardens in St Andrew.
The brazen thieves on Wednesday night raided nine homes in the residential community, stealing water meters and leaving the broken pipes gushing. It was their second strike in as many weeks, having stolen 11 meters in a single night
last week.
"We are under attack, we need help!" said Elaine Francis, whose home on ColleyVille Crescent was among the nine raided by the thieves Wednesday night.
"The situation has reached a stage where we are afraid,'" said Jennifer Morgan.
"This is just shocking to see that criminals have reached the stage where they are now removing water meters from the people's property. It is just strange," she told the Jamaica Observer Thursday.
One resident told the Observer that he had just replaced his meter, which was stolen last week, when the thieves struck again. The incident resulted in the flooding of homes and streets in the community.
Last week, the National Water Commmission confirmed that there had been an increase in reports of water meter theft.

wow i'm so picky for an ugly person
Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
Cecilia Payne's mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.
Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn't give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said fuck that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.
Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called "the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy."
Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun's composition is different from the Earth's, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne—after telling her not to publish).
Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.
Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.
Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

What to do with holiday plants?
Every year between Christmas and New Year's, I'm faced with a dilemma: What am I going to do with all of these holiday plants? Starting the day after Thanksgiving I bought or received an assortment of poinsettias, cyclamens, kalanchoes, Christmas cactuses and amaryllises. They are now occupying most of the well-lit nooks and crannies of my home.
I don't have the room nor the time to keep everything alive over the winter months. In preparing my mental what-stays-and-what-goes list, I've already decided to compost my poinsettias sometime in late February or early March. Also, I vowed that I would not accept and care for any poinsettias from friends or acquaintances who cannot bear the guilt of tossing them out themselves. I'm undecided about my florist's cyclamens. Their pink, white, and red flowers look beautiful above the silver and green marbled leaves. When the soil surface feels dry, I water along the sides of the pot or from below to prevent the tuber from rotting. As long as I keep them cool (65 degrees during the day) in bright indirect light, and feed them monthly with a liquid houseplant fertilizer, I can expect to see them blooming until March. In the past I let them go dormant and repotted them in early August to see them come back into flower. I don't know if I can next year. Maybe I'll send the dormant tubers to my mother who can't bear the thought of discarding any living plants.
My amaryllises will be transplanted to the garden in mid to late April after the threat of freezing temperatures has passed. In the mean time, I removed the withered flowers and scapes and am keeping them in bright, indirect light. An important note: keep the leaves healthy; the more leaves your amaryllis produces the more flower scapes you can expect next May — the time when garden-grown amaryllises bloom.
When my kalanchoes finish blooming, I will remove their spent flowers. These nearly indestructible houseplants are the number one selling flowering potted plant in Europe, and for good reason. They come in orange, red, pastel pink, yellow and pure white, bloom for long periods of time, and tolerate minimal care. I may keep a few, but some will be gifts. Kalanchoes are terrific "starter plants" for people who are new to gardening.
The Norfolk Island pine stays inside. Ideally, it prefers a brightly-lit area within three feet of a large south, east or west-facing window. During the winter rest period, water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
When it's actively growing during the spring and summer months, water when the surface of the potting medium feels dry.
The Bloom-rite Mini Christmas Tree that my wife gave to me shortly before Christmas will go outside in a full-sun, well-drained location. My wife didn't know what kind of conifer it was, only that it was discounted and needed attention. Surprisingly, she bought me an Italian stone pine (Pinus pinea), an appropriate gift for someone like me who loves Italian food. But I doubt that I'll ever harvest any pignolia or pine nuts from this Mediterranean native that's commonly found on the West Coast. Also, I can't
imagine that I'll ever see it approach its approach a height of 80 feet or more. But because it was a gift from my wife, I know without a doubt that this plant stays with me.

The Chicago Cubs signed Manny Ramirez to be a player and coach at their Triple-A affiliate in Iowa.
Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein made the announcement in a press release on Sunday.
"While Manny is not and will not be a fit on the Cubs' major league roster, we do think at this stage of his life he's a nice fit as a mentor for some of the young talented hitters we have in the organization," Epstein said. "Manny will coach full-time and play part-time in a limited role that does not take at-bats away from our prospects.
"If he shows there is still some magic in his bat, perhaps he will find his way to the major leagues and help another team, but that is not why he is here. We are thrilled that he wants to work with our young hitters and make a difference."
Ramirez, 41, is taking at-bats in extended spring training games at the Cubs' facility in Mesa, Ariz., before joining the Iowa Cubs.
"I'm at the stage of my life and career where I really want to give something back to the game that I love -- the game that has meant so much to me and done so much for me and my family," Ramirez said in the team's press release. "I know I am nearing the end of my playing days, but I have a lot of knowledge to pass on to the next generation -- both what to do and what not to do."
Ramirez, a 12-time All-Star, last played in the major leagues during a five-game stint with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2011. He was suspended in 2009 and 2011 for testing positive for performance-enhancing substances. However, Epstein believes Ramirez will be a positive influence on the Cubs' prospects.
"Manny is not only one of the best hitters of all time, he is also a dedicated student of hitting and has proven to be a gifted teacher with younger teammates who have worked with him in the batting cage," Epstein said. "Behind the scenes he has always been a tireless worker who is very serious about the craft of hitting.
"Manny has made real mistakes in the past but he has owned up to them and moved his life in a positive direction the last couple of years. He is in a really great place right now and wants to share the lessons he's learned along the way. We think he deserves another chance and that our young hitters will benefit from it."
The Cubs have some of the top offensive prospects in the game, including shortstop Javier Baez and outfielders Kris Bryant and Albert Almora. However, Baez is struggling with a .203 batting average with Iowa.
"The Cubs have some very talented young hitters, and I would love nothing more than to make a positive impact on their careers," Ramirez said. "I am passionate about baseball and about hitting, and I have a lot to offer. While I would love to return to the major leagues, I leave that in God's hands. My focus will be on working with the young hitters, making sure they don't make the same mistakes I made, and helping the team any way I can."
In 19 major-league seasons, Ramirez batted .312 with 2,574 hits, 555 home runs and 1,831 RBIs. He helped the Boston Red Sox win World Series titles in 2004 and 2007 when Epstein was the team's general manager.

Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division marked the opening of the maneuvering and seakeeping basin (MASK) facility, with a ribbon cutting ceremony, Dec. 19. The 360-foot long and 240 foot-wide facility holds approximately 12 million gallons of water and is used to evaluate the maneuverability, stability and control of scale models.
"As I marvel at this triumph of naval engineering and naval architecture, it is gratifying to see that once again the Navy is demonstrating its long term commitment to science, engineering and innovation," said keynote speaker, Dr. John Holdren, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). "For more than 100 years, the men and women of Carderock have served the Navy, the Marine Corps and our nation in a truly impressive variety of important technical capacities ranging from understanding the intricacies of designing advanced surface ships, to reducing the signatures of submarines, to developing environmentally friendly systems for the Navy across the board."
Carderock built the MASK in 1962 to test the scale model performance of ships, platforms and moored systems in realistic sea conditions. During the six-year upgrade, Carderock replaced the original pneumatic wave-making system in the MASK with 216 individually-controlled electro-mechanical wave-boards that significantly enhance the capability to create a precise wave environment. The new finger-style technology, demonstrated during the ceremony, provides the Navy with an unprecedented capability to create extreme, realistic ocean environments inside of the facility. Scale models up to 30 feet in length can be tested in the MASK in order to predict the full-scale performance of ships in the open ocean.
"All day, every day, our Sailors and Marines are answering the call – protecting American interests, responding to crises – and most importantly, deterring and if necessary, winning wars," said Rear Adm. Larry Creevy, commander, NSWC. "This kind of capability demands our Sailors and Marines have platforms and systems that are built and ready for any eventuality on land, in the air, on and under the world's oceans. What people may not know is that the concept design, development, modeling, testing and delivery of this kind of capability started years ago, sometimes decades ago, in facilities like the MASK."
"[The Wavemaker Modernization team] have led by example, working around difficult budget times, furloughs, and constantly adjusting work schedules in support of this critical Navy ship and ship systems testing facility upgrade, while maintaining the same high level of service to which their customers are accustomed," said Capt. Richard Blank, commander, NSWC Carderock Division. "It's that sort of effort and dedication to NAVSEA and the NSWC Carderock team that allows our technical expertise to continually flourish for our Navy, for our nation."
NSWC Carderock, a field activity of the Naval Sea Systems Command, and a part of the science and engineering enterprise, leads the Navy in hull, mechanical and electrical engineering. Headquartered in West Bethesda, Md., NSWC Carderock employs approximately 3,600 scientists, engineers, technicians and support personnel and includes the Ship Systems Engineering Station located in Philadelphia as well as detachments in Norfolk, Va.; Cape Canaveral, Fla.; Andros Island, Bahamas; Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Memphis, Tenn.; Bangor, Wash.; Ketchikan, Alaska and Bayview, Idaho.

I took a http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/102011-houndstooth-bell-bottoms pattern, ignored front closure and sew zipper on the back and added cuffs. For bodice…take some basic bodice pattern and make a mock up. Cut out any shape you would like. This is your pattern for upper part of the pants. You can connect it with pants on waist or… leave separately and connect when desired with snaps as I did.

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to miss England game
The Italian goalkeeper and captain Gianluigi Buffon has been ruled out of tonight's game against England after suffering an ankle injury.
The 36-year-old sustained a slight ankle sprain on Friday and will reportedly be replaced by Paris Saint-Germain's Salvatore Sirigu.
As the most-capped player in Italy's squad with 140 international appearances, Buffon's injury is a major blow to Italy.

"Chief among the advantages is it starts people flying young and keeps them flying," White said of light-sport aircraft. "The FAA has dropped some of their stringent regulations on this type of aircraft and this type of flying and it's going to make it more amiable to a lot of people."
White noted light-sport aircraft is "fairly easily flown" and has the advantage of moving "fairly fast." A driver's license is required to fly, according to White.
"The airport, as everybody knows, has become a leader in Southern Illinois of aviation," White said. "This fact is due to the diligence and the teamwork that has come together at the airport."
The informational meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 18 at Mt. Vernon Outland Airport following the monthly EAA meeting. For more information you may contact Lyle Endicott at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Approved runway sign panel replacement;
Discussed roof repairs to the Fixed Base Operations; and

"You can start out pretty cheap," said Mike Baldwin of Anderson, as he pointed toward an electric model made from foam that a pilot can get into for about $100.
Don't expect, however, to stop at one airplane.
"It gets expensive," said Pat Garrett of Middletown. He pulls a 38 percent 330S Extra out of the trailer he's dedicated to his hobby. He sets the giant bright yellow and red plane up on the grass, where its 110.5-inch wingspan transfixes even the other seasoned flyers in the club. Inside Garrett's 6-foot-by-18-foot trailer, he still has a dozen other airplanes neatly housed.
On a workbench in the trailer, he sets the radio up in a model labeled Escapade for another club member. At home, he has a shop dedicated to his RC hobby, and another six airplanes. Garrett's been flying since 2006.
"I dived right in," Garrett said. "I always wanted to do it. I finally got someone to show me how to fly, and joined this club. It was all downhill from there. I just love the hobby."
Flying takes place over the 700-foot by 125-foot runway that the club leases from Madison Park Church of God. Club members mow and maintain the area. The field has five stations, four of them with safety benches, along the flight line. Spectators remain behind the fence, and everyone generally stays behind the flight line. The club employs rules to keep everyone safe.
For those who want to learn how to fly RC, the club's the way to go. They have what's called a "buddy box," a trainer control unit that can be connected to a radio transmitter.
The group gets together for a club meeting once a month, but most of the time, club members just head out to the field in the evening and on weekends when the weather's amenable. Occasionally, the group has a cookout when family and friends set up lawn chairs and enjoy their potluck dishes. Whenever they get together, there's likely to be planes in the air, but also plenty of "hangar flying."

Maximo Park Quicken the Heart
- Words: August Howard
- Label: Warp
- XLR8R Rating: 5/10
When this U.K. neo-post-punk band burst onto the scene with 2005's A Certain Trigger, the band's workmanlike spirit—not to mention its Fall- and Wire-esque songwriting—was quickly embraced on both sides of the Atlantic. The band's presence on Warp—certainly worth some cred points—was always unusual, but with the release of Maximo Park's third album, Quicken the Heart, it has become downright confusing. The Newcastle lads have all but abandoned their post-punk inklings in favor of tepid, would-be stadium rock colored by synth flourishes and paint-by-numbers pop melodies. Perhaps this is a clever play to win the hearts of folks who find Franz Ferdinand a little too edgy, but this is a major creative step backwards.

CATEGORIES Comedy, CinematicalWant to see Kristen Bell in a porno? Specifically a 1938 black & white stag film titled "June Crenshaw: Sex Kitten to the Supreme Court," written and directed by David Mamet? Sorry boys, but the nudity and sex scenes have apparently escaped the world forever. But at least you can see fragments of the film, which was thought to be lost completely before turning up in a Beverly Hills dentist's woodworking shop. You still get the teases of Bell's dress being lifted up over her bum by a desk fan, her dress being entirely snagged off by a nail, and a lengthy attempt to undo her well-fastened bra as three Supreme Court justices wait patiently. And for the ladies, Ed O'Neill, as one of these judges, disrobes to his undies, too.
Obviously it's not real. It's just another great video from the people at Funny or Die. It's not too hilarious, but again you fanboys won't mind, as you do get to check out Bell -- a geek favorite -- in such compromising positions. And if you're super nerdy like me, you'll also enjoy the historical stuff involving controversial FDR proposals and the lost draft of the Dred Scott Decision. Because it comes to us via Mamet, Ricky Jay also appears in the video to introduce the "Lost Masterpiece of Pornography," and there is ultimately some bad language concerning O'Neill's manhood. But surprisingly no sign of Rebecca Pidgeon (her part must still be lost).
Check out the relatively safe-for-work video after the jump.

The team confirmed an earlier report that it has signed free agent running back Foswhitt Whittaker and defensive tackle Ricky Lumpkin to the practice squad.
In a corresponding move, the team released tight end Steve Skelton from the practice squad.
Lumpkin played last Sunday against the Detroit Lions and recorded one tackle. He had previously spent the last two seasons on Arizona's practice squad after originally joining the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent from Kentucky in 2011.
Whitakker is a rookie out of Texas who was not drafted after suffering a knee injury his senior season. He played in 38 career games for the Longhorns and tallied 1,233 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was named first-team All-Big 12 in 2011 as a kick returner.
Skelton joined the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent following the 2011 NFL Draft. He is the brother of Cardinals quarterback John Skelton.

Animatronic face-ripping Undead Ted horror-toy
The 700th Undead Ted horror-toy was a face-removing, talking animatronic that sold for £420 on Ebay. I love that it can do more than one line; I like to think of it as the reincarnation of good ole Teddy Ruxpin. (via IO9)

PREDICTIONS: Black Friday 2013
October 10, 2013 | Posted By: Brent Shelton | Categorized in: Black Friday
What will be HOT for BLACK FRIDAY 2013?
PREDICTIONS:The number of advertised deals in FatWallet's Black Friday Deal Finder was up 60% in 2012 (27,000+) with more than 110 official ad scans. Add that Thanksgiving Day (again) officially kicked off Black Friday online and was more active than any other day besides Cyber Monday (on FatWallet). Thanksgiving comes late this year, so we should see volatile advertising as retailers have more days in November to drive early sales and less days for shoppers in December. Shoppers can expect the total number of Black Friday deals to eclipse 40,000 in 2013, (50% more than 2012 - not counting Cyber Monday). Walmart Stores president Mike Duke expects Walmart to have it biggest Black Friday ever, by offering a mix of e-commerce and in-store sales and plans to market heavily during NFL games on Thanksgiving (rare!). This will force other retailers to raise their game, leaking ads earlier and hosting more pre-Black Friday sales than we've ever seen (see recap of early 2012. Industry analysts are predicting in-store sales to be flat, but we should expect e-commerce to flourish.
Our lead prediction last year was for huge price drops on big screen HDTVs and although it will be hard to top the deals we saw for 50" TVs under $300 in 2012, we may see 60" TVs under $400 in 2013. With the PS4 and Xbox One finally released, we should see the PS3 and Xbox 360 prices plummet to under $150 (we saw bundles under $200 last year). Tablets are fast becoming the choice over laptops, so older but still high performing tablet models and laptops will be extremely affordable and some reputable models will dip under $200. But with shutdowns, looming fiscal "cliffs" and fragile consumer confidence, the biggest trend will be budget deals under $20 and expect these in record numbers (see recap). Smart shoppers can purchase everything from quality small appliances to coveted toys for under $20 and still have money to look for that big screen bargain. HOW? By doing their homework!
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...buying 4k TVs. It may seem like you are getting a deal, but as Tom's Guide puts it, there are virtually no video sources that support this HD technology yet and we may not see 4k prices (currently 2-3x the cost of 1080p) come down much until the Super Bowl, after CES 2014!
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): Any laptop that has older Celeron CPUs, and a max of 2GB of ram. Beyond basic web browsing, and email, these machines tend run significantly slower, and lack basic things like HDMI. Even under $200, you can find a tablet that will rival needs and performance of these models, unless you just like laptop styles.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): Like cell phones (below), avoid buying very low end Android devices. They are usually running older OS, and performance is slow, which may impact your experience/enjoyment with the device, and any new coveted apps could have performance issues.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...very low end Android devices running older OS, as performance is lackluster at best. If you are looking for a cheap no contract phone, check out Lumia 520 or the soon to be released Lumia 525. Performance for both of these phones is very good and you'll get them around $80-$100 on Black Friday.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): Early pricing...DON'T PANIC. There will be a select few gotta-have toys that will sell out, and if this is you, forget deal hunting and buy it! If it isn't you and your list is flexible, don't fret as there were over 4,00 toy deals in 2012 and we expect more this year. Take a little time to compare prices and additional savings (like cash back, store discounts and even rebates)...last year Kohl's, Kmart and Walmart offered some of the best prices on hundreds of toys with added advantages if you're a card holder, doing layaway or price-matching. You'll have endless options to make toy purchases good deals.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...buying these super cheap games for the PS3 and Xbox 360 thinking they will easily be usable on your new PS4 or Xbox One...they won't.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...buying bundled deals that look good on the surface, but offer add-ons you don't really intend to use. The value on the pricing can fool you and you'll be stuck with a shelf full of accessories you don't need.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...Buy one get one half off kind of deals we see all year long. However, many B1G1 deals will serve as getting two gifts for the price of one, or two different colored shirts, sweater, jackets, etc. for the price of one.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...the hype. Doorbusters, although prices are always some of the lowest we'll ever see on these products, are usually medium to lower quality items. With that said, if you're a deal hunter, you can find extremely awesome, limited quantity deals with doorbusters, especially for clothing and home items at $20 or less (many at 75% off or better), it just depends on what you "need" (and we stress "need" to help you avoid having a stable of garage sale items a year down the road).
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...Black Friday comes at it's latest possible date in November this year, meaning we should see massive attention to early sales. Be patient, as history shows prices keep coming down leading up to Thanksgiving Day, when big buying heats up.
AVOID!!! (won't be a deal): ...the typical 20% off that we see every other weekend all year long, unless you have to have it...in that case, make sure you get free shipping and cash back (typically increased for holidays) to make it worth it.
