Limit Travel Dock 2 Portable iPod Speaker Dock For iPod / MP3 (Black)
Posted: 12/01/2010
Good sound quality for the price, docking connector fits my iPhone 3G no worries and charges from both the battery input and the mains charger provided. iPhone does warn me that product is not compatible when I plug it in, but works none the less (only issue is that you cannot connect it properly with the docking unit if you have any kind of case on your Iphone, but a small 3.5m headphone jack cable proivded can get round this). Set mine up in the kitchen to watch BBC iPlayer while I make the dinner....fantastic at less than 10 pounds !! (I'm going to buy 2 more, 1 for the bathroom and one for the bedroom).

Well written story (although the concept has been used in book and film many times before) which flows well and kept me bound up in this 8th century world for a couple of days. Its a shame that there are no surprises and no real plot twists though. Dissapointed with some of the 'Battle' scenes as well, the one at night with a surprise attack by the welsh appeared to stop mid fight with the protaganist, about the be killed quite badly is all of a sudden safe!! Didn't really make a lot of sense, but the rest of the story is entertaining. I look forward to more stories of Osric from Mr Kristian.

An unforgiving account of our darkest days against the Zed head pathogen. If like me you took the Zombie survual guide, read it, re read it and committed it to memory then also like me you'll want to know what we're up against, how the living turned the War and finally what we're going to do about taking back our planet.Don't be fooled by its ficticuous looking cover, this is the ultimate in survivng the Z wars, from the first outbreak, to almost total annialation of the human race to us taking back what is ours with much predudice.A bible for the modern era.'and who would of thought Max Brooks is Mel Brooks son !!'

Get a few of the lads round, a few beers and your in for an hour and a half of top notch british horror comedy. The effects are good (reminiscent of C4's Dead Set). Blokes can relate to every charater - there wont be one that doesn't remind you of a mate and the story flow is easy and jumps almost straight into the action. More like this from Jake West please.......

Genius, the indepth science behind what goes on in this book is reminiscent of the Great Crichton, the pace is fast, action packed and squeezes 72 hours of fast paced, non stop action into just 3 hours of reading, to say i couldn't put this down is an understatement. If you enjoyed Brook's World War Z then this is a must read for you.

It looks good, but that's it. Half baked story line, verging on boredom controls and cut scene's which last forever are only some of the let down's of this game. If you want to replay tombraider 1 but set in medievil times then this is for you. If you want a next Gen game for your Next Gen console then avoid this waste of time. I took mine back after only playing the first couple of levels.

This game plays and looks like a Megadrive drive game. Its Japanesse feel, openeing credits and options screen are like something out of the early 1990's. I cannot believe that in this modern era, with a console this powerful that someone would design a game this bad. The helicopter flies like a boeing 747, the Tank and armorder suit are slower than a snail and the ' Fantastic ' wepons are no such thing, avoid this game at all costs.

M.C.: I am pleased to announce that there is no trace of the HIV virus in either Kyle Broflovski or Eric Cartman. Together these boys beat their illness. With nothing but each other, and overcoming all odds, these two brave friends...A comedy plot line in which a character wrongly believes another character to be gay, either because of misinformation received or because of the supposedly gay character's own misinterpreted words and actions. Once the character is taken to be a homosexual, all his words and actions become laden with innuendo and further misunderstandings, humor (and Unfortunate Implications) ensue. This can often be caused with supernatural secrets, such as superpowers or lycanthropy, which aren't immediately obvious, or various other embarrassing secrets. Almost inevitable for Heterosexual Life-Partners. This plot may be the first time we've heard them explicitly say they're not gay (whether we believe them or not is another matter). A slight subversion occurs when a character is suspected of being gay and takes this as a compliment, since that person deeply sympathizes with gay people. See also Mistaken for Index. When the character probably is gay but is in denial, they're in the Transparent Closet. When the Character is heterosexual but acts like the Camp Gay stereotype they're Camp Straight. Due to the common belief that All Men Are Perverts and A Man Is Always Eager, any male character who isn't shown to jump at the chance to have sex with a woman will be mistaken for gay (if not actually gay) by the audience and possibly by the other characters as well (especially male characters).
Kyle: Oh stop! We're not friends! HE'S the one who infected me with AIDS!
M.C.: These two brave lovers found the cure and helped the world!

Mines Management Receives Results Of Groundbreaking Grizzly Bear Study
Mines Management, Inc. (NYSE Amex:MGN) (TSX:MGT) (the "Company") is pleased to announce completion of a study to monitor the grizzly bear in the Montanore project area, which is located in a portion of the Cabinet/Yaak Ecosystem recovery area. The study utilized technologically advanced sampling methods that included DNA analysis, and seeks to assist with monitoring and mitigation efforts to understand and support the health of the grizzly bear population.
During the summer of 2009, scientists from the University of Washington and Kline Environmental Research were contracted by the Company to conduct a study in and around the Montanore Project area to assess the current condition of the grizzly bear population using DNA analysis of grizzly bear scat.
From the results of the study, a number of conclusions were reached, including the following:
- There are very likely significantly more grizzly bears in the Cabinet Mountains than has been previously reported.
- Either through augmentation or transient bears, the region may be at a stable condition and at its natural carrying capacity for grizzly bears.
- Current grizzly bear management activities in the recovery area should be reviewed due to recent grizzly mortalities and the increase of bears leaving the recovery area.
- DNA studies can identify individual grizzly bears from collected scat samples, which can be used to assess habitat and numbers of bears in the study area. The method proved to be an effective, non-intrusive method for monitoring grizzly bears, as compared to radio collars or hair sampling.
OverviewAs part of its environmental review process and its extensive efforts to minimize the Montanore project's impact to the environment, the Company has proposed measures to protect and monitor local threatened species, including the grizzly bear.

Just finished bottling my first AG and I thought it would be a good idea to put a lid on the bottling bucket. I didn't think about the fact that there would be suction from the beer flowing out of the bottling wand, and after like 6 bottles beer stopped flowing through the hose. I pressed the wand to the bottom of the next bottle like a dummy and immediately heard suction and then air bubbles in the bottling bucket. It sounded kinda like a water cooler when they bubble. I immediately pried the lid open and began filling bottles again. Do you think the bubbles i sent through my beer will oxidize it??
The bubbles will absolutely oxidize your beer.
But the EXTENT to which your beer will be oxidized will be negligible. No way you even notice. RDWHAHB.
All beer gets exposed when racking, etc. Unless you exposed it to a bunch of air, it'll be just fine.
Give a man a beer, waste an hour. Teach a man to brew, and waste a lifetime! Bill Owen quote

thanks, i was a little worried i may have hurt the flavor

I am an accomplished performing musician that has experience playing many different instruments in multiple styles. I believe first and foremost that learning music should be fun and exciting with an emphasis on self exploration and communication. It's these qualities in my own musicianship that have helped me grow a true love of music and have pushed my career forward as a performer.
*** Lesson Details ***
In lessons I use a shifting curriculum that is made to work with the needs of each individual student. I firmly believe in the importance of learning to read music and learning some basic music theory, in my experience this helps the student grow from being able to reproduce the music of others to eventually developing a unique style and sound. After three to six months my ...

|Am trying to decide between Curves & California Fitness Center...I am 63 years old...What are your opinions & thoughts? Thank You Much
Follow-Up Postings:
|I am not familiar with the Calif. Fitness Center but did join Curves late this summer. I wound up with bursitis of the hips and groin (diagnosed by an orthopidic doctor). I can't say if it had anything to do with Curves but when I couldn't go for several weeks and I ask them if they could extend my membership, the answer was no because I was ONE day short of not being there a month. It took three weeks to get in to see the doctor and then the doc said to try it again and do what I can. I did try and was in severe pain after the shortened workout and only doing a few of the excercises. So now I have to go back to the doc and get a doctor's note so I can cancel my membership. If they would have treated me better I might have gone back after my bursitis was gone. In my opinion, they don't care about you just your money. Angie

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement after sending a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and other officials within the Administration demanding the immediate termination of their flawed alien smuggling policy and that the Administration respond to pointed questions about the operations:
"I wholeheartedly agree with the Administration that the current situation at our borders is a crisis. But this crisis is self-imposed. The primary crisis is the Administration's failure to secure the border.
"I demand the Administration immediately terminate this atrocious transfer policy. Furthermore, the Administration should take the necessary steps to secure our border and should take bold measures to discourage this influx of illegal aliens from continuing.
"The Administration's actions jeopardize our national security and embolden the cartels. Those individuals responsible for this violation of the Rule of Law need to be held accountable and I will continue to push for a congressional investigation, and if necessary a criminal investigation, into this matter.
"Furthermore, I call on Secretary Johnson to cite the statutory authority by which DHS is executing these policies and respond to the rest of my questions no later than June 19, 2014."

Rep. Gosar called for Attorney General Eric Holder to be impeached as a result of the alien smuggling scandal. Click HERE to read more.
Rep. Gosar sent a letter June 2nd to the appropriate committees in Congress requesting this matter be investigated and raising serious concerns. Click HERE to read more.
During the week on May 26th, 400 detained illegal immigrants were shipped to Arizona. (Confirmed by Andy Adame, Special Operations Supervisor for the Border Patrol in Arizona.)
Arizona Governor Brewer's Office reported that 432 illegal aliens were transported to Arizona June 6th, and another 734 were shipped on the subsequent Saturday and Sunday.
For nearly three weeks now, the Administration has been implementing a policy where illegal aliens apprehended in Texas are shipped by plane or bus to Arizona utilizing taxpayer money. Officials from DHS confirmed in a subsequent briefing with my staff that at least 7 flights transporting illegal aliens to other states have already occurred at a price of $53,000 per flight.
These actions are inhumane as many women and children are just being dumped in the streets at Greyhound bus stations without food, money, adequate clothing, hygiene products or access to a phone in 100+ degree temperatures.
For the initial dumps there was no Notification to the Governor's Office, the Arizona Department of Public Safety or the Arizona Department of Homeland Security.
Roughly 1,000 illegal immigrants are apprehended in South Texas each day, according to Adame.
So far this fiscal year, the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol sector has apprehended more than 140,000 people
After screening, they are being released under supervision and then required to report to a local ICE office near their destination within 15 days. Most will never report.
Putting an illegal alien in a car, bus or plane and transporting them to another location is deemed "alien smuggling" and is a crime. See 8 USC § 1324 (a)(1)(A).

Getting To St Barts.. Travel Tips and Advice
Planes do not fly to St. Barts at night (no lights at the airport!)
So if flying to St Barth's is your preferred transportation option make sure you arrive on St. Maarten in time to catch the last flight of the day at 4:50 p.m. If your timing does not work you can take one of the
St Barts ferry services
listed below. Another option some St Barts travelers do is to spend a night on St Maarten and leave for St Barts the next day.
St Maarten Airport & Delays
When flying to St Barth's through St. Maarten baggage delays/problems may happen. If at all possible, bring only carry-on luggage or at least bring a carry-on bag with a few of your mandatory items.
(As mentioned above, you can now also avoid St. Maarten entirely if you fly directly from San Juan SJU to SBH.
The In Transit Gate
The rules and regulations regarding the In Transit gate change constantly so be sure to check what is being said in the
discussion forums
before you go. Sun Destinations offers VIP transit services to speed you through the process.
Ferry Dock to Airport St Maarten
It is about a 20 minute cab ride from the St Maarten airport to the other side of the island where the ferries to St Barth's depart. When using the ferry services to connect with flights don't cram things. Allow extra time at each end... No stress.

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries fell, pushing benchmark 10-year note yields to the highest level in June, as Greece's parliament approved a second bill to authorize austerity measures needed for further financial aid.
Ten-year notes slid for a fourth straight day in the longest losing streak since February as stocks rose, a measure of U.S. business activity improved and the Federal Reserve ended a $600 billion program of debt buying. Bonds pared gains in the second quarter as the three government note auctions this week drew poor demand.
"We have clearly taken out the Greek risk as far as it impacted Treasuries," said David Ader, head of government bond strategy at CRT Capital Group LLC in Stamford, Connecticut. "From this day forward, we will have to deal with the Treasury supply on our own. We are adjusting to the new world."
Yields on 10-year notes increased five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 3.16 percent at 5:14 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 3.125 percent securities maturing in May 2021 dropped 13/32, or $4.06 per $1,000 face amount, to 99 22/32.
The 10-year note yields touched 3.22 percent, the highest level since May 19. Yields on two-year notes were little changed at 0.46 percent after reaching 0.51 percent, the highest level since May 26. The five-year note yields advanced seven basis points to 1.76 percent after increasing to 1.81 percent, also the highest level since May 26.
Gain in Stocks
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose for a fourth day, rallying 1 percent. Crude oil for August delivery gained 0.4 percent to $95.14 a barrel
Treasuries returned 2.6 percent this quarter as of yesterday, after losing 0.1 percent in the three months ended March 31, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes. U.S. debt has gained 2.5 percent in 2011.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said investors should sell five- year Treasury notes on speculation yields will rise to 2.2 percent, a level last reached in April.
Investors should exit the trade if the yield falls to 1.4 percent, London-based strategists Francesco U. Garzarelli and Constantin Burgi wrote in a research note.
The Fed purchased $4.909 billion of Treasuries maturing from June 2017 to June 2018 today in its last operation under the second round of quantitative easing.
The buyback included $4.405 billion of the $16.252 billion in seven-year notes that primary dealers purchased yesterday at the U.S. government's seven-year note auction. The central bank ended up with 15 percent of the $29 billion total sold.
Auction Demand
Yesterday's offering produced the lowest participation in more than two years from a class of investors including foreign central banks. The $35 billion government auction of five-year securities on June 28 drew the lowest demand in a year. A record low yield of 0.395 percent at the $35 billion offering of two- year notes a day earlier drew the weakest demand from the group including central banks since February 2008.
Bonds also dropped today as the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc.'s purchasing managers' index climbed to 61.1 this month from 56.6 in May. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a drop in 54. Figures greater than 50 signal expansion.
"It shows that the economy is not falling off a cliff, so we need to give some of that back if it's not contracting as much as many had feared," said Anthony Cronin, a trader in New York at Societe Generale SA, which as one of the 20 primary dealers is obligated to participate in U.S. auctions.
Greece Austerity
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou's drive to stave off the euro area's first sovereign default stayed on track after lawmakers backed a bill to authorize an austerity plan required to keep rescue aid flowing.
The premier won the vote by 155 to 136, allowing him to implement a 78 billion-euro ($112 billion) package of tax increases and asset sales that was a condition of receiving further European Union aid.
"The news out of Greece is not a surprise, but it's another hurdle that's been crossed," said Chris Ahrens, head U.S. rates strategist in Stamford, Connecticut, at UBS AG, a primary dealer. "The better performance of risk assets is weighing on Treasuries."
Treasuries have rallied this quarter on speculation the U.S. economy is stalling and Europe's sovereign-debt crisis may damp the global recovery.
Employers in America added the fewest jobs in eight months in May, and the unemployment rate increased to 9.1 percent, the Labor Department reported June 3.
Initial jobless claims fell by 1,000 to 428,000 in the week ended June 25, Labor Department figures showed today. Economists in a Bloomberg News survey projected a drop to 420,000.
President Barack Obama is trying to reach a compromise with Republican lawmakers who are seeking spending cuts before they agree to raise the nation's borrowing limit, now capped at $14.3 trillion. The Treasury Department has said it has until Aug. 2 before its ability to pay the U.S. debt expires.

HP BladeSystem
BladeSystem is a brand name used by Hewlett Packard for blade server machines, that was introduced in October 2004. [1] [2] [3]
Blades are a modern form of server technology that have a more efficient design than conventional servers, which cuts down on the excess components that are usually found in regular servers and makes room for the implementation of components that will help with the specified needs. This helps create more efficient use of physical space and energy.
Blades are packaged ultra-high density components that can be used toward a variety of services. The common uses include servers, storage of data, and communication interfaces. Blades are racked inside blade enclosures, which supply them with power, cooling and networking.[4] BladeSystems have seen a high demand due to their high specialization, and because they have greatly increased the speed of programs and the capacity of data storage in a much smaller space compared to conventional server setups.
The BladeSystem forms part of the HP Converged Systems, which use a common Converged Infrastructure architecture for server, storage, and networking products.[5] Designed for enterprise installations of 100 to more than 1,000 Virtual machines, the HP ConvergedSystem 700 is configured with BladeSystem servers.[6] When managing a software-defined data center, a System administrator can perform automated lifecycle management for BladeSystems using HP OneView for converged infrastructure management.[7]
Before the introduction of blade servers and specifically the BladeSystem, servers often took up a lot of space. The BladeSystem allows users to build a high density system, up to 128 servers in each rack.[8]
Currently HP offers 2 types of enclosures in its Bladesystem lineup
HP c7000 enclosure was announced in June 2006. In 2007 there was a minor update including larger Onboard Administrator display (3 in up from 2 in). The next update was in 2009 and brought RoHS compatibility, increased backplane speed (5Tb/s up from 4Tb/s) and 1Gb/s Outboard Administrator connectivity. Fourth version – c7000 Platinum was announced in February 2013. It features location discovery services, thermal discovery services and redesigned backplane. The new backplane increased aggregate bandwidth 40% from 5 to 7 Tbit/s to allow use newest high-speed interconnect modules (such as 16Gbit/s FC and 56Gbit/s FDR InfiniBand). Also the new Platinum Plus rating power supplies were announced with higher efficiency than previous Gold Plus rating power supplies.[9]
All versions of the enclosure occupy 10 rack units and can accommodate up to 16 half-height blade servers. It includes space for 6 power supplies (single-phase, three-phase or a −48V DC), 10 cooling fans, 8 single-wide (such as Gigabit Ethernet or FC) or 4 double-wide (such as 40Gb Ethernet or Infiniband) interconnect modules (that allows for up to 4 redundant interconnect fabrics)
HP c3000 enclosure was announced in August 2007. Updated version of the enclosure called c3000 Platinum was announced in February 2013
All versions of the enclosure occupy 6 rack units or can be used as a standalone unit (with optional tower conversion kit) It can accommodate up to 8 half-height blade servers. It includes space for 6 power supplies (single-phase, or a -48V DC), 6 cooling fans, 4 single-wide or 2 single-wide and one double-wide interconnect modules
Server blades[edit]
HP offers general-purpose Proliant server blades as well as Integrity (based on Intel Itanium CPU) and specialized Proliant aimed at workstation virtualization. Servers can use half-height/full-height and single-wide/double-wide/quad-wide form factors. Apart from built-in Ethernet network adapters, optional mezzanine cards can be installed to further increase connectivity options.
In current generation (Gen8) half-height Proliant blade servers with up to 2 CPU and full-height 4 CPU servers are available.
Several networking options are available for the HP Bladesystem, these include but are not limited to :
- HP's propietary Virtual Connect modules
- Cisco switches and fabric extenders
- Gigabit networks switches
- HP Procurve switches
- HP Comware based switches
- Passthrough modules
- Mellanox Infiniband
- Brocade SAN-switches
- Cisco SAN-switches
Storage options include:
- Internal server HDD's (usually 2 to 4 with hot-swap capability)
- Internal USB, SD or microSD slot (can be used for installing hypervisor)
- Connecting to external SAN via FC, SAS or iSCSI mezzanine card
- Storage blade (with large number of internal HDD's)
- Tape blade (half-height blade unit hosting LTO tape drive and designed to connect to adjacent blade server)

Just copied the SQl database to my machine, copied the whole sims directory (from s drive) to my machine also. Changed the connect.ini to point to my sql instance.
But when I try and log into it I get the following error.
"Sims connection failed for Login XXXX, reason:0"
Anybody tell me what I've done wrong. I'm doing this because I want a Test environment for staff members to get used to lesson monitor (rolling it out next term).
Any help would be hugely appreciated
Advice Fix 1
The machine may be pointing to a incorrect networked Connect.ini file and therefore cannot see any SQL Server or Database. Delete the Connect.ini from e.g. C:\Program files\SIMS\SIMS .net and then run SIMS .net and select the correct Connect.ini from e.g. S:\SIMS or alternatively create a local connect.ini and enter the correct SQL Server and Database name.
Fix 2
Stop and Restart SQL Server - The SQL Server may not be running
Fix 3
The error can also be an indication that the upgrade has been run, but has been unsuccessful.
Please check the version of SIMSSQLApplicationsetup.exe in the setups folder is 1.558.12 (for August 2007 release) or 1.0560 (for September 2007 release) then run this to upgrade to version of DBupgrade which should be 184.108.40.20603
Then run Dbupgrade.exe manually from e.g. D:\Program files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn
The list of upgrade files will be shown or there may be a message about a User already logged in. If Users are detected, a Force All will need to be run to exit the Users out of SIMS to allow the upgrade to commence (requiring the SA logon credentials). This Force All option will appear automatically if Users are detected as being logged in.
Fix 4
If fix 3 does not resolve the issue please run SIMSApplicationsetup.exe from the setups folder
Fix 5
If the error still occurs and you installed SQL 2005, but not via one of our installers then please follow KB71936
Fix 6
This error can also be caused by a corrupt user in the users table. If all other users can login to the system OK please re-create the user that is getting reason 0
Fix 7
Please reboot the server and try logging in to SIMS.net
Fix 8 THIS IS ONLY RELEVANT IF PASSWORDS HAVE BEEN RESET
This problem may be due to the Domain Control settings policy with the School.
The reason for this is because the school's policy does not allow the password to be reset more than a certain number of times within a specific time-frame.
This issue will be resolved in the June 08 release. (only if Reason 0 occurs after resetting passwords)
This problem will need to be resolved on the domain server prior to running the June 08 release
Fix 9
Check there is sufficient space on the partition where SQL is installed. Also check the system partition has sufficient space as temporary files can be created during the backup.
Check the size of the SQL Log file eg SIMS.LDF. If excessively large use SHRINKDBLOG.BAT to shrink the log file.

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you. 1 Peter 4:12
When adversity comes knocking on the door, some people immediately think they have done something wrong, that God surely must be punishing them. Friend, God will not allow a difficulty to come into your life unless He has a purpose for it. Granted, there are times when we can't understand what we're going through or why, or why, but we must learn to believe that God is going to bring good out of it.
God says. "Don't think it's a big deal when you go through these tough times." Learn to cooperate with God and be quick to change and correct the areas He brings to light. Then yours pass that test and you will be promoted to a new level.

The 27-year-old Cameroonian international, who arrived in north-eastern France in January 2007, has extended his contract by a season.
"His athletic power, remarkable technique, his sense of position, anticipation and recovery have today made the native of Douala a leading player, esteemed by his peers," Lille said in a statement.
Chedjou was described as "one of the driving forces of Lille today and in the future".

NEW YORK The "Every Day Low Price" king is trying to shake up the world of pricing once again.
Wal-Mart told The Associated Press that it has rolled out an online tool that allows shoppers to compare its prices on 80,000 food and household products to those of its competitors. The world's largest retailer began offering the feature that's called Savings Catcher on its website late last month in seven big markets that include Charlotte, Dallas, San Diego and Atlanta.
The move by Wal-Mart, which has a long history of undercutting competitors, could change the way people shop and how other retailers price their merchandise. After all, Americans already increasingly are searching for the lowest prices on their tablets and smartphones while in checkout aisles.
Shoppers do this so often that big retailers that include behemoths like Target and Best Buy have started offering to match the lower prices of rivals – but only if shoppers do the research on their own. The idea behind Wal-Mart's online feature, on the other hand, is to do the legwork for customers.
The tool isn't revolutionary. But Wal-Mart is the first traditional retailer to offer such a program, and if it's successful, others may follow.
Duncan MacNaughton, chief merchandising and marketing officer for Wal-Mart Store Inc.'s U.S. discount division, told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that shoppers are looking for "technological answers to saving them money and time."
Wal-Mart's "every day low price" model is under attack from online king Amazon and other competitors that sometimes offer items cheaper. On top of that, the retailer's primarily lower-income customers continue to cut back on spending during the economic recovery.
As a result, Wal-Mart's U.S. discount division recorded its fourth consecutive quarter of declines in revenue at stores opened at least a year, a critical yardstick for measuring a retailer's health. The discounter also has seen a decline in the number of shoppers going to its stores.
Wal-Mart said the idea for Savings Catcher was born last year during a focus group. The idea instantly resonated with the group, the retailer said, and by last summer, Wal-Mart was testing it in four markets on an invitation-only basis. In late February, the company began rolling it out to the seven markets that also include Huntsville, Ala., Minneapolis, and Lexington, Ky.
Here's how the tool works: A customer has to set up an account on Wal-Mart.com, then logs onto the Savings Catcher page and types in the number on their receipt. Savings Catcher compares prices of every item on the receipt to a database of advertised prices of competitors. The database is provided by an undisclosed third party that analyzes retail ads.
The prices at Wal-Mart stores are matched to competitive stores based on geographic location, but not online retailers.
The savings are issued on a Wal-Mart online gift card and the customers can accumulate savings or use the credit immediately. Shoppers can use the credit in stores or online by printing out the gift card receipt.
Anne Jurchak of Belmont was part of Wal-Mart's focus group. She said she's been getting back $5 to $7 on her weekly trips to Wal-Mart in which she typically spends $200 to $250. Jurchak used those savings to buy holiday stocking stuffers and a case for her e-reader.
As a part-time marriage counselor and mother of two sons, Jurchak, 41, a said she's never had time to take advantage of price matching.
"They're doing the work for me," Jurchak said. "The only thing they're not doing is putting the groceries away."

Credit Suisse in steep loss after US tax caseJuly 22, 2014 @ 9:05 am
GENEVA (AP) -- Credit Suisse, Switzerland's second-biggest bank, posted a second-quarter net loss of 700 million Swiss francs ($779 million) Tuesday after paying the largest penalty ever imposed in a U.S. criminal tax case.
The steep loss contrasted sharply with the profit of 1.045 billion francs ($1.16 billion) it posted in the April-June period a year ago. It resulted in what the bank called a final settlement of the U.S. government's case against the bank for helping wealthy Americans avoid paying taxes through secret offshore accounts.
The Zurich-based bank pleaded guilty in May to aiding U.S. tax evaders and agreed to pay about $2.6 billion to the U.S. government and regulators, allowing it to put the criminal investigation behind it.
"I want to reiterate that we deeply regret the past misconduct that led to this settlement and that we take full responsibility for it," Chief Executive Brady Dougan said in a statement. "The continued trust and support of our clients helped us mitigate the impact of the settlement on our business."
The bank took a charge of 1.6 billion Swiss francs ($1.78 billion) as part of its settlement over the U.S. tax evasion charges.
Credit Suisse announced it has exited commodities trading, a move that it says will allow it to transfer resources to shore up its private banking.
It also said it had trimmed its worldwide staff to 45,100 by the second quarter from 46,300 a year earlier, and has already cut costs by 3.4 billion francs out of a total 4.5 billion francs it plans to cut by the end of next year.
Shares of Credit Suisse AG closed down nearly 1 percent at 25.84 francs Tuesday on the Zurich exchange.

Rate Dr. Don Pezzot
Dr. Don Pezzot's Ratings
Dr. Pezzot is a gifted psychiatrist and is very patient-centred. He is one of the few psychiatrists I have ever heard of who respects a client's wish to not take drugs. He creates a very safe environment, and provides excellent suggestions for clients to continue working on their emotional health outside of his office. He doesn't try to keep clients coming to him year after year unless there is a clear need. I cannot say enough good things about this mental health professional who saved my life.

Coach's Corner: Indiana's Tom Crean
May, 9, 2012
By Myron Medcalf | ESPN.com
Richard Mackson/US PresswireTom Crean coaches a Hoosiers squad expected to contend for a national title next season.
Indiana won three Big Ten games during the 2010-11 season. In the months leading up to the 2012-13 campaign, however, Tom Crean's program has been pegged as a favorite to win the national title.
Crean talked to ESPN.com about next season's team, his talented recruiting class and the expectations attached to the program.
How do you feel about the lofty preseason projections and rankings for your program?
Tom Crean: It's really not to me what others would think. We don't spend a lot of time on it. I spend more time looking at who else is ranked and how many times we have to play them. I don't think in those terms and we certainly don't work in those terms. It's not like I dread it, it's not like anybody shies away from it.
When you're immersed in it, you stay in your own reality. And our reality is we've got a long way to go to get where we want to go. We're going to have upwards of eight freshmen and sophomores on this team next year. Obviously, one of them is Cody [Zeller], but still, he's only going to be a sophomore. And the bottom line for us is we've got to get a lot of guys meshed into this team.
If I felt like we had a group of guys who were caught up in that, then I'd be dealing with it a lot differently. But I don't. I think it's motivating them and it's inspiring them to get better.
How will you get your talented recruiting class to blend with the returning players on your squad?
TC: I think for us, it's going to be a combination of us putting even more on the incoming players this spring. We went into some of their schools in our last recruiting period to really kind of assess where they're at, watching a lot of film … making sure now when they get here, we've got a real plan for how this team really starts to come together.
And that our upperclassmen, even the sophomores, do a great job of getting them immersed and feel a responsibility for them. And not just as buddies and future teammates but a real responsibility for these guys to get here and get immersed in the culture of our program.
What's the expectation for Victor Oladipo (10.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg) next season?
TC: Just continuing to improve in all areas. There's no question, his shooting and his range shooting. He's a very good shooter; he's got to become a more confident shooter. That the ballhandling continues to improve where his decision-making and his finishing become outstanding. He's got to become a tremendous decision-maker for us and at the same time, he's got to be an even better finisher.
[+] Enlarge
Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesVictor Oladipo needs to improve his decision-making and become an even better finisher, according to Crean.
He still misses too many shots he should make. Now he's got to make those things against pressure. He has a flair for the dramatic and he has the ability to make some really tough shots. … The other thing I think he has to become is an even better all-the-time on-ball defender. He should be in the conversation for one of the best defenders in America.
Christian Watford had a great NCAA tournament and flirted with the NBA draft. How did he ultimately reach the decision to return and what's his potential for next season?
TC: I was locked in the process. We were locked in the process with him of trying to help him be able to get drafted. I knew it was very important to have that opportunity to go. But I also knew he was looking at it with both eyes wide open, as was his family.
And when you look at it sideways and you look at it with rose-colored glasses, that's when you make mistakes. And I'd have been a lot more concerned if I wasn't doing that. He was looking at it with both eyes wide open. And that made the process that much smoother.
We got a lot of information from the decision-makers. … He saw every note that I took. He saw every word that I wrote down of what people said. And I really don't hold anything back from them. Right now, he's got to continue to get his strength. He had a heel issue during the year that we want to make sure his body continues to heal the right way. ... Take his shooting up another notch. And then, he's really got to establish that he's going to be a very, very good rebounder and that that skill will transfer to the next level.
He needs to be a better rebounder for us. But at the same time, he needs to be a proven, legit, tough rebound guy for the next level. And then I think he has to continue to build on what he did defensively this season. … He's got to prove that he can guard anybody on that perimeter.
You have a talented incoming recruiting class (No. 10 on ESPN 100). How many players from that group will make an immediate impact?
TC: I wouldn't break it down that way. I wouldn't do that with them. I think everybody brings something different. And when you look at the rankings and where things are laid out, those rankings are there for a reason. These guys have done some really great things.
It won't matter once they get here. It's how they blend. It's how they fit in. It's the work ethic that they provide. There's no doubt that we're really trying to build a deep team … one where we can really get out and be far better defensively. If we're far better defensively, there's no doubt we're going to be far better offensively.
The guys that figure out that the best when they get here will be the guys that have the best impact on our team.

First off i wasnt sure what forum to post this in so opted for here :)
Ok heres the situation, back in october i built a new machine, now a few weeks back it packed up, shipped the pats back to ebuyer for test as its still in warrenty and it was found that both my cpu and Graphics card were faulty, was informed that my other parts would be returned to me and that the faulty good would be replaced, i indeed had my parts returned but after 2 weeks of waiting no replacement parts... gave them a ring and it turne dout there was a system error (dont you hate those.....) but it also turns out that theres no direct replacement for what i had so i would be refunded..
so now here i am with an oppotunity to upgrade once again but am in a bit of a quandry as to whats best to get and was just after some other opinions.
i am replacing:
AMD Phenom X4 9750 2.4GHz Socket AM2+
Gecube HD 3850 512MB GDDR3 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E
Im almost certainly going to be replacing the 9750 with a 9950 but when it comes to the graphics card im yet to fully decide...
Theres three cards im looking at currently
Asus HD 3850
Asus HD 4850
Is it a no brainer and to push my budget to get the 4850?
Now im not totally sure on the amount of refund im getting as its not gone in the bank yet but im pretty sure itll be in the reigon of what im looking at.
i play games like Empire Total War and Armed Assult and some rpg's
what do you think?

Baltimore Orioles (41-54)@
Boston Red Sox (56-39)
Friday, July 24
Fenway Park
Attendance: None
Game Leaders
L: Bergesen
(6-5) 3.56 era
W: Penny
(7-4) 4.71 era
S: Papelbon
Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Jason Varitek drove in the game-winning run in the fourth inning and Jonathan Papelbon escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning as Boston slipped by Baltimore, 3-1, in the opener of a three- game set from Fenway Park.
J.D. Drew and Jed Lowrie also drove in runs for the Red Sox, who snapped a season-high five-game skid.
Brad Penny (7-4) went 6 1/3 innings for the win, scattering five hits and allowing one unearned run with four strikeouts and no walks. Papelbon recorded his 25th save.
"I think everyone could see his velocity," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said of Penny. "It picked up a little bit. And I think he's been feeling physically better as the season progresses. As opposed to maybe in some years past where he has thrown so many innings, it caught up a little bit."
Nolan Reimold finished 3-for-3 and scored the only run for the Orioles, who have dropped four in a row and six of seven.
Brad Bergesen (6-5) was tagged for nine hits and three runs over six full frames, fanning five but walking three.
The O's manufactured a run in the second when Reimold singled, stole second, went to third on Varitek's throwing error and scored on a Melvin Mora sacrifice fly.
The Sox countered in the fourth with two runs on Varitek's RBI single and Lowrie's sac fly, then tacked on another run in the fifth with Drew's fielder's choice RBI.
Boston was denied an insurance run in the sixth, as Jacoby Ellsbury was thrown out at home by O's right-fielder Nick Markakis with two outs trying to score on Dustin Pedroia's single.
Penny was strong through the seventh, when Reimold doubled with one out. Manny Delcarmen got the final two outs of the frame, then Hideki Okajima hurled a scoreless eighth.
Papelbon's final inning was not without drama, as Adam Jones led off with a single, Markakis followed with a base hit to put runners on the corners and Reimold walked with one down to load the bases.
The fiery right-hander responded by striking out Luke Scott and Mora swinging to end the contest.
"We had some great at-bats. Jones and Markakis back-to-back, first and third, and had an opportunity to score some runs there and didn't do it," said Orioles manager Dave Trembley. "Papelbon came up with some big pitches. We had the middle of our lineup up, battled all night with some very good at-bats but didn't break through."
