We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
I just watched the Best Buy CNBC documentary (on hulu http://www.hulu.com/watch/335331/...ights-back) and not even like 5 minutes in someone says "People say you're the Amazon showroom.." LMAO. BestBuy had like 8 different American style stores that opened in like 2007 in China and closed all of them last last year. And they were not admitting that they were completely wrong in not doing any farking research into the Chinese market. Chinese people like to barter, you cannot do American style "price tag" shopping like here. They will haggle the crap out of you for the lowest price. I'd start shopping at Best Buy HERE if they allowed me to do that. They took a big stake in FiveStar though which does know the Chinese market, so that will probably be most of their profit for the coming years as they close more American stores. If an American company wants to succeed, you have to look at China nowadays. Sad truth, but they have a lot of buying power as an emerging middle class. Here in the US, they won't even pricematch online retailers. I shop at Fry's though because they do pricematch Amazon and other online retailers (very smart), and while I do have to pay tax, I get it the same day so it's worth it. Anyway we'll see how BB works out. I think they need to push BB Mobile stores like how Tesco does in most of Europe. They have large superstores and small little Walgreen sized stores, like everywhere. If you are everywhere, then people will not ignore you. They are closing the rest of their stores in the UK this year, they opened in 2010. Talk about a huge failure. Oh well. I don't want to see BestBuy close but they have to make some drastic changes within the next couple years to stay relevant. |
Oh, I didn't know about the return shipping for Amazon. In that case I will miss having a big-box store to look at the merchandise.
--- And, lol, I was thinking of Newegg as a site that uses good pictures too. I use Newegg as a showroom of sorts also for the pictures they use. Last edited by moSom; 03-30-2012 at 01:23 AM.. |
And that's exactly why best buy is hurting. I buy a lot on Amazon as well, but I don't showroom. Generally, I think that doing that is a waste of time. Know how much you want to pay for something, know what purpose it's going to do in the house, and then figure out from reviews if a product online will do what you need it to do.

My posts are certified to be 100% Al Sharpton free. |
But BestBuy knows this. I think everyone that works there knows it. If you watch the hulu documentary (link in post) they straight up talk to the CEO about Amazon showrooming, and talk to customers in Best Buy stores and have the customers explicitly tell them in detail, that they are just scanning the barcodes to buy on Amazon later. No one is hiding it. They aren't stopping it either. BestBuy just needs to reinvent themselves and they're trying to with the connected showrooms. Hopefully that'll work out for them. |
I couldn't tell you the last time I bought something in Best Buy. I even have gift cards from there from 2 years ago that I haven't used. Most of my purchases have been either from Amazon or Gamestop lately.
Best Buy used to be my place to go when I needed something quickly. Not so much anymore. |
Back when I was young and naive, I loved Best Buy. It was so much closer to my house than Fry's and looked more professional (BB tries to not remind you that it's in a warehouse, whereas Fry's is basically a giant Costco of electronics). Unfortunately, when I started becoming more aware of online retailers, the most shocking thing that I discovered was that the "sales" that BB offered were usually pretty bad. Why should I buy a camera package for $120 if I can get it online, pay shipping, and still come out ahead? BB has been living off people who don't know better, don't/won't shop online, and impulse buys. That is not a sustainable model.
Best Buy is the Gamestop of electronic retailers. As far as I'm concerned, both of those stores focus on exactly the wrong way to do business today. Online retailers that do it right focus on great customer service, generous return policies, and (here's a biggie) streamlined websites. Have you been on BB's site lately? It's the same as it was 5-10 years ago. Fry's and Costco, along with Target, are the way forward for B&M. Fry's has a gigantic selection, good prices, and good staffers. Costco's website sucks, but their prices+coupons can still beat Amazon. Target's store attracts a wide audience, has a generous 5% card that enables FS on all purchases (though online selection is anemic), and stores that make me feel more comfortable than BB. Perhaps it's because Target's ceiling is lower, or Target fences off portions of the stores with high racks. |
Went to the store 6 hours after the store opened to pick it up. No where to be found. after 30 minutes of wasting time I went back to the wii game section grabbed one off the shelf, brought it up to them and said here, give me this one till you find the one your looking for.. 45 minutes later I left with my item and a strong feeling BB didn't really want my money. |
Why the hate? There are 42 front page deals for Best Buy in the past 3 months alone. More competition = good. More deals = good.
Got this for my latest computer build last fall at Best Buy: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/63654/best-buy-klipsch-promedia-thx-certified-2.1-computer-speaker-system If you don't like their employees, avoid them lol. Just cherry pick the good deals and leave the rest. That's what we do with ALL retailers on this site, no? Last edited by DougS; 04-04-2012 at 02:45 PM.. |

Florence's Prison Outlet Store may be just the place to find a Christmas gift for that legendary person who has everything.
The outlet, at state Route 79 and Butte Avenue in Florence, has dark, wooden walls adorned with paintings and charcoal drawings. Racks and shelves loaded with handmade belts, origami statues, dream-catchers, jewelry and metal work make the small shop seem even smaller.
Everything in the Prison Outlet Store was made by Arizona prison inmates. It's a program that allows prisoners to apply their talents to make money to pay taxes and restitution.
Inmates selling their wares at the store earn 75 percent of the proceeds.
Selling their work has allowed prisoners to contribute millions to taxes and restitution, said Christine Lansford, who manages the retail operation for the Arizona Department of Corrections.
"Items cost anywhere from $1 to several thousand," Lansford said.
She quickly shows off an intricately carved walrus jawbone boasting a price tag of $1,750.
Inmates have restricted access to supplies, with much of the limitation stipulated by their security clearances. But they get creative with anything they come in contact with — one inmate crafting picture frames out of tobacco and potato chip packages.
"Some (inmates) have formal training or learn from other inmates," Lansford said of their skills. "Some of these items aren't made from normal materials. They really get creative."
Other unique sales items include purses made of motorcycle license plates and painted bottle caps for $26, flowers shaped from bread and melted candy for $6, and birdhouses made from a variety of objects for about $25.
"If you've got somebody who's impossible to buy for, you can find something here," Lansford said.
The store does about 80 percent of its business between October and January, Lansford said. Some of the work is also available for sale at the Arizona Department of Corrections Web site, www.aci.az.gov.
The store also offers hand-painted Christmas cards. And online, people can order Christmas cookies and pumpkin pies.
Nolberto Machiche, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Corrections, said the work gives inmates a sense of pride and a sense of privilege.
"We get Christmas cards and thank you cards from the inmates for allowing them to support their families," Lansford said. "It's a positive thing they can do when they're out, too."

A new organisation to help whistleblowers set up in London
Whistleblowers must not only face the wrath of powerful and unforgiving opponents, as the cases of Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning illustrate. They also face other trials, of which we know little. There is endless personal hardship, the loss of friends, the swift shrinkage of financial resources, the nightmare of unemployment and unemployability, and crippling legal costs. In short, the prospect of coping with manifestly life-altering circumstances.
The new Whistler Fellowship Alliance, set up by Gavin Mcfayden, Director of the London-based Centre for Investigative Journalism, and Eileen Chubb, a former health care worker who blew the whistle on elderly patient abuse in hospitals and health-care homes in the UK, WFA will provide "emotional and legal assistance to those who have or are considering righting a wrong."
"If you take up the issue of abuse internally, your employer does not take action. It you decide to go public, you are not employable, and that is happening on a huge scale," said Ms. Chubb at a pre-launch event organised at the City University London on February 18. After she lost her job, and her legal case, Ms. Chubb set up Compassion in Care, a trust that now works with people like her.
"It was only after I left government could I see with clarity how former colleagues were suborned into manufacturing fraudulent evidence during the Iraq war," said Ray McGovern, a retired Central Intelligence Agency analyst-turned political activist, who returned his Intelligence Commendation Medal in 2006 in protest against CIA's alleged involvement in torture.
A former senior NSA official, Thomas Drake spoke of his "horror" in the aftermath of 9/11 to discover that "the very Constitution that I had taken an oath to defend was being subverted in the name of national security. Little did I know at that time that I would end up being declared an 'enemy of the state."
According to him, the U.S. government had information that if it shared would have stopped 9/11 itself from happening. Taking the decision to "work within the system as long as I could do so," he came up against successive blocks. He even made a detailed presentation before a Congressional Committee on what he calls "the dirty secrets of the secret state that had the evidence for 9/11 and chose not to share it before [the event], then covered it all up afterwards."
"I had become radioactive," Mr. Drake said. He went to the press in 2005, was indicted under the Espionage Act in April 2010, and faced 35 years in prison. He was declared indigent as he could not pay legal fees. His case was fought by Jesselyn Radack, a former U.S. Department of Justice Ethics Adviser. Eventually, all 10 felony charges against him were dropped.
Ms. Radack, who is also legal adviser to Edward Snowden, was herself blacklisted for exposing a major reconstruction fraud in Iraq. She was put on a "no-fly" list by the U.S. government. "I have dedicated my life to protecting whistleblowers," she said.
Annie Machon, a former MI5 intelligence officer, had to leave the British Security Service in 1997. With her partner David Shayle, Ms. Machon was on the run for several years for exposing illegal intelligence activities.
The formal launch of the organisation is on March 20.

SPORTSMEN WIN OF THE SEASON on 100.7/THE FOX NIGHT
(Cedar Rapids, IA 06/06/2014)-- A large,
enthusiastic "100.7/The Fox Free Race" crowd was treated to some great racing Friday
night at historic Hawkeye Downs Speedway. The annual Free Race was presented
with the help of DuPaCo Credit Union and MopedU.
Burke earned his first HyVee Racing Series feature
win since returning to Hawkeye Downs as he took top honors in the Mountain Dew
Sportsmen Feature. Burke took advantage
of the pole position in building an early lead and then held off Jim Hanson and
Greg Hentrich to claim the win. The trio was running nose-to-tail with five
laps remaining when both Hanson and Hentrich decided
to make their move. In the process Hanson and Hentrich
touched as they ran three-wide. Hanson recovered a little faster than Hentrich to score second place leaving Hentrich
in third.
Goettsch survived a wild Dublin City Pub Legends
feature to earn his third trip to victory lane this season. Matt Blake led the
first 17 laps of the scheduled 25 lap feature before Kevin Korsmo
captured the point with Austin Kunert right on his
tail. Three laps later Kunert slipped a bit while
challenging Korsmo turning the leader and bringing
out caution. On the restart Tim Goetsch moved to
challenge Korsmo and with just two laps remaining he
made what would be the winning pass to secure his third feature win of
2014. Korsmo
finished second while Blake was third.
Bohnsack earned his sixth straight win in the Sunline Hornets but it may not been quite as easy as the previous
wins this season. Steve Woodrow held the
early lead but got a bit loose on the backstretch as the fourth lap ticked off the board
sending Brad Schmidt to the lead. Three laps later Kurt Bohnsack
wrestled the lead away from Schmidt, but just barely. With three laps remaining
Schmidt fought back, regaining the lead for one lap before Bohnsack
took back the point for good with two laps to go. Schmidt maintained second
while Troy Scott finished third.
Barron Motor Supply Hobby Stocks was
also a wild affair and included a caution on the first lap as several cars got
together in turn three. Jacob Floyd led
most of the first half of the race once the action restarted with Matt Petrzelka his closest pursuer. The action tightened up with
5 laps to go and just as Petrzelka tried to clear
Jacob, Kandi Floyd tried a move as well which sent
the leaders spinning. Petrzelka and Jacob Floyd retained their spots on the
restart and back under green Petrzelka began to pull
away just a bit. Jim Hanson slipped
around Kandi Floyd as the final laps ticked off but had
no time to make a run at the leader and he settled for second. Kandi Floyd was third.
the CarpetlandUSA Late Model feature was "business as
usual" for Tim Plummer although he and Brad Osborn did swap the lead back and
forth early in the race. Osborn took the lead on lap two after Chad Siems got a bit high in turns one and two. On the next lap
Tim Plummer slipped around Osborn briefly before Osborn regained the lead on
lap four. With turnaboput being fair play, Plummer
took back the top spot for good on the next lap and this time he held the spot
for good. Osborn chased him the rest of the way and finished second. Brian
Allen crossed the line in third.

Re:Are you a human being? (527 comments)
Hey, that might be the case in the US, but in other parts of the world we Christians do expect the return of the Son of God, but:
1- We don't have any idea when and how it's going to be, things might happen in any order (people that think they got a clear idea of how things are going to be from reading Revelations really startle me) and it can be tomorrow as well as it could be in ten thousand years.
2- We don't try to make the apocalypse happen - people that think they have a roadmap on how to make it happen are walking a path of big arrogance. Nowhere in the bible does God ask for any help making such things happen. He only told us to love Him and to love others, and tell them about His love. There's nothing there about manipulating geopolitics to trigger anything or any crap like that. But I guess some people find all that love stuff boring and want to collaborate by invading some country or forcing someone to say they believe in Jesus.

ROFL. I think most software is like that, what surprises me is finding that some widely deployed software is well coded.
Re:Paging Mr. Roark (616 comments)
Writing propietary software is not justifiable no matter how much you want to feed your children.
Laughable. Writing free software might be desirable, but it's very childish to think that anything other than your preferences is "unjustifiable". For all the bashing of religion people like Stallman do, it's funny how religious they get with their own desires and philosophies.
The fact that free software and open source are good things is shown in the results, the amount of people being served by such software every day. It would be just the same if we didn't have zealots telling people that any other choice is morally wrong, save for the lack of earbleed.
Free software is a convenient way of developing solutions for people. It's convenient for society, the economy, etc... I don't know if it fits all the cases. But convenient doesn't mean "The only morally acceptable way or else you are some kind of criminal".

Re:Savvy study author ... (471 comments)
In practice it works. The fact that not so many people want to put it in practice is another issue. People can twist any belief system to suit irresponsability. That's why a big chunk of the new testament is devoted to warn people about being superficial with their faith: the seed that fell on rocky soil, the man who builds his house upon sand, the pharisees, the hypocrites, the ones who think its about fulfilling a couple of social norms and just that, the ones who think it's about condemning the evil they see in others, the ones who think its about finding whose fault it is (who sinned so that this man is blind, he or his parents?) instead of improving things for people; warnings about believing in ones present state of rightousness as sufficient and as cause to proclaim some kind of superiority above others.
Iit's not like Jesus taught something like "say you are a believer and everything will be fine" or any temporal utopia like that. So I think it's pretty fair to say that anyone who claims to be a christian and believes and acts persistently against such warnings is not a christian. Following Jesus and his teachings is the definition of being a christian. If He had said "well, I dont care what you do to kids" instead of "whoever harms one of these little ones it'd be better to tie himself to a rock and jump into a river" it would be fair to say that excluding people who persist in not taking responsability, doing evil, etc... from the "christian" category is a "No true Scotsman" fallacy. But Jesus demanded some very specific behaviors from His followers: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Mt 7:21).
Many christian leaders and movements would be far more threatened by an honest reading of scripture than from any atheist attack
On the other hand, it's pretty useful to look back in history and see all the errors made in the name of faith, to evaluate them and to take responsability so that we don't repeat them again. Not only its necessary, but in order to judge it unnecessary we christians would have to put ourselves in a "100% biblical christian category, unlike everyone else" that's far from reality and from what scripture says about our nature.
Re:Hell != Hell (471 comments)
Errr... Someone else correctly pointed out Luke 16. I'll add Luke 13:28: "There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out" That sounds pretty much conscious.
Re:Savvy study author ... (471 comments)
Big misrepresentation. That's how an inmature person acts, christian or not. A lot of us thank God for good things we find in life, strive to live better lives for us and the rest of people and take responsability for our actions. God's grace is actually a great motivation to take responsability of consecuences for past acts, as those consecuences dont inhibit being loved and signified by God. And it's a great motivation to take action in the present for better, as it gives meaning to efforts. If things go bad because I ruined them, I ruined them, period. Being a christian doesn't mean I didnt screw up. It means I should pick up, take responsability and move on. It means I don't have an excuse to stay in a state of depression and guilt, as all my sins were paid, and at the same time the God that gave me such gift expects and demands faith, love, responsability, virtue. And, being a christian also means that if things go bad for reasons outside my control, well, it's out of my control. Gotta accept that. Believing in God's sovereignty means accepting a lot of things are outside our control. Which is usually a good realization in order to act on the things we do control. Thinking "If it goes well its god's plan, if it goes shit then its god's plan." about stuff in which we have a say/possibility/responsability is BadTheology(TM).
embrace and extinguish? (121 comments)
I wonder what the motivation behind this is... is it to take a competitor out of the road? Or maybe it's more bening, such as gaining qualified employees?
Re:Not like the USA (345 comments)
The whole premise of "war" is that "enemy" lives are worth less than "own side" lives and that it's absurd to sacrifice yours to save theirs.
And you are putting the enemy soldiers and the civilians of their nation together in the "the enemy" category. That, to many (including me) is inmoral.
Re:Not like the USA (345 comments)
If all that killing and intimidation doesnt get people to obey them or them to control territory (impose their will) then yes, they are losing.

Re:Why So Serious? (396 comments)
I've never understood why people get all shocked when someone uses a competitor's product
Maybe in this case people get shocked not because it's just a competing product but one that was deemed a "cancer" by MS itself? It's one thing to use a competitor product, it's another to use something you denounce as immoral.

Ironweed? |
Peach seedling? |
After taking a closer look, agree it probably is an second year peach seedling planted by squirrel in the loose fill from a stump removed just over a year ago. Must have missed it because space is enveloped in large Turk's Caps most of the year. Thought growth was all new this spring, so was expecting something else, like ironweed. Thanks for the suggestions. |
Yes - peach seedling was my first thought. |

Diane von Furstenberg 2012 Fall
Diane von Furstenberg Fall 2012
Designers have been sticking to a more neutral palette for Winter but not Diane von Furstenberg and Yvan Mispelaere. Showing to a celebrity-filled crowd at Lincoln Center — we spotted Solange, Molly Sims, Coco Rocha, and Barbara Walters in the crowd — the duo filled the runway with gorgeous color combos in every jewel tone imaginable. The theme of the collection was "rendezvous," further explained in the show notes as "glamorous at a moment's notice." The outcome was sexy, effortless French-inspired dressing in the way of formfitting wool jersey dresses, wrap skirts, office-appropriate separates, and drapey asymmetric jumpsuits. A pink rendition of the latter, paired with an oversized dark burgundy coat, was one of the highlights of the collection. Whimsical prints — puzzle pieces, quotation marks, and keyholes, were splayed across an array of wrap skirts, oversized coats, and blouses, emoting a sense of mysterious quirk. Whether you're a working woman or just looking to paint the town red, DVF has you covered.
- Trends: Sheer insets, high slits, halter and racerback details.
- Colors: Raspberry, seafoam green, scarlet red, dark teal, black, mustard yellow.
- Key Piece: We loved the asymmetric pink jumpsuit paired with a gorgeous dark burgundy coat.
- Accessories: Oversized clutches, box clutches, printed satchel bags, leather opera length gloves, ankle-strap pumps.
- Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave effortless, sexy silhouettes and bright hues like Zoe Saldana and front row attendees Molly Sims and Solange.

What's in a price? When it comes to Microsoft's decision to launch a clever camera (okay, a very clever camera) at a higher cost than its current 360 Arcade SKU - quite a lot.
£130 is a devastatingly expensive gamble for any consumer thinking about splashing out on an untested peripheral - whether full-time mum or full-time fragger.
But that's because the standalone Kinect SKU isn't where Microsoft is placing its bets. It knows it's not going to be a crazy seller. It didn't even put it at the top of this afternoon's press release.
The solus Kinect camera is aimed at a small number of very specific Christmas customers - the dyed-in-the-wool Xboxolyte.
Whether it's an exorbitant attempt to woo a girlfriend to their green hub of gaming or a ravenous appetite for early adoption (coupled with an indestructible faith in Microsoft to deliver the goods), there will be hardcore gamers out there that will snap Kinect up for their existing 360 on day one.
Not a great number of them, but some - and good luck to them. Microsoft knows it, and that's why it can slap a pricetag akin to a last minute deal to Malaga on its new noir wonder.
More importantly, it sees little point in wooing the more cynical of their ilk just yet.
How can we ascertain this? Because of that new console bundle. Small, slick, unfiddly - and with less memory than an iPod Nano.
But when you consider that for £250 you'll be able to pick up Kinect, Kinect Adventures and a spanking new next-gen console, Microsoft's boddy-popping peripheral all-of-a-sudden becomes a lot more reasonable.
Not to you and I - 250GB-chomping types with cruddy, overused Xbod pads - but to them. The non-console owners. Those who flirted with Wii but never jumped. Those who Microsoft's marketing machine will be going full steam ahead to bedazzle before St. Nick pops down the chimney.
We suspected it back at E3 - when MS paraded an insipid software line-up of games that did little for Halo heads or Fable followers.
But now, post-pricing, we know it for sure. We're not invited to the Kinect party - at least not to the VIP area. That's for those who'll probably never know what turning on an Xbox with a manual button feels like.
Microsoft has installed bases to expand on, and we can't help them with that. They most certainly can.
Kinect's price will gradually decline, of course - and may even hit that £99 sweet spot just as some respectable, triple-A software is offered up for it.
But until then, all the dreams of what a voice-reading, ankle-monitoring, witchcraft-powered peripheral could do for hardcore games should be put on ice.
Whatever Mr. Greenberg may say, PlayStation Move is looking like the peripheral most likely to draw the hardcore this Q4 - and Microsoft's newly announced pricing structure suggests they know it better than anyone.

At Wayne's Keyboard Studio, the emphasis is on recreational music making as opposed to classical training. During social group classes, new musicians, including kids and adults, learn the songs that they actually want to play by picking up skills such as reading music. Students don't have to worry about bringing their own instruments, as the studio provides keyboards, pianos, and organs to tickle.
Musikgarten classes elevate kinesthetic, logical, spatial, and social intelligences through musical instruction to children ages 3 months to 10 years. Each course responds to the developmental needs of a particular age group, with activities and acquired skills becoming more complex as classes ascend in age group. Family Music for Babies (ages 3–16 months) engages an adult and infant with 30–35 minutes of bouncing songs, dancing, and playing simple instruments. Curiosity curdles in amateur earthling brains and a foundation for future musical exploration is set during the Cycle of Seasons course, where children 3-1/2 to 5 years of age flirt with the foundations of rhythm and tune, coddle concentration skills, and garner the ability to self-express through sound waves. The Young Musician and Piano class, for ages 4-1/2–6 and 7–10 respectively, focus on symbolic thinking, memory, and listening acuity, and run for 55–60 minutes or until the first prodigious rock opera has been composed.
We are a deep-discount music company carrying, servicing and repairing a full line of musical instruments on our premises. We sell these instruments through our store in LaPorte, Indiana, our Ebay Store, and our online music store . We also offer music lessons and carry instrument parts.
There's a simple reason why students never encounter sheet music at The Michigan Irish Music School: to owner and instructor Tim Huston, sheet music is boring. It's also rigid, he says, forcing musicians to follow an absent composer's notes and annotations rather than the rhythms and cadences of their fellow musicians strumming and drumming alongside them.
Instead, Tim and the school's other instructors break down reels and jigs piece by piece, teaching students musical themes and patterns that pop up in the most celebrated of Irish folk tunes and international whale calls. In doing so, students devote their energies to the primitive fun and excitement of music making.
The diversity of instruments in a single class also adds to the social experience, with students coaxing sounds from fiddles, flutes, tin whistles, accordions, and mandolins. At the end of the year, they showcase their talents in a recital in front of friends and family, adding the energy of the audience for what the Irish might call a true session.
With 30 years of playing experience, guitar sensei Mark Schimmoller has perfected a multitude of styles from rockabilly to indie to Crane Style. After years spent performing around Chicago and touring with the band The Hush, Mark settled down in Fort Wayne—where he now shares his expertise with students of all skill levels during private lessons and maintains his chops with his '80s alternative band Weird Science. Lessons incorporate various forms of media to help students absorb knowledge more easily than a sentient ShamWow. Mark also keeps precious instruments in top condition by offering guitar setup services and minor repairs.

Kingston, Jamaica – Veteran Wavell Hinds stroked a superb, unbeaten century to rescue leaders Jamaica against Trinidad and Tobago on the opening day of their sixth round WICB First-Class Tournament match on Friday.
The 34-year-old left-hander has so far made 131 not out as Jamaica finished on 297-5 at Sabina Park. He has so far been involved in an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 121 with all-rounder Dave Bernard, who was unbeaten on 55 at the close.
Chennai, India – When Devendra Bishoo stepped onto the field for Thursday's match against England it was the realisation of a dream for the young leg-spinner.
It was Bishoo's first international match in West Indies colours and he also fulfilled the dream of his father. Bishoo's father Mohanlal, died 17 years ago and his one dying wish was that his son would one day represent the West Indies.
Mumbai, India – Kumar Sangakkara hit his first ICC Cricket World Cup century as his side enjoyed a comfortable 113-run win over New Zealand on Friday at the historic Wankhede Stadium.
On a memorable day for the Sri Lanka captain, Sangakkara hit an excellent 111 from 128 balls, putting on 144 runs with Mahela Jayawardena for the third wicket. During his innings he also passed 9 000 ODI runs.
Kolkata, India – Opener Paul Stirling made a superb 101 off 72 balls as Ireland ended their ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 campaign on a high with an easy six-wicket win over the Netherlands on Friday.
The Dutch had posted a competitive 306 from their 50 overs on the back chiefly of 106 from Ryan ten Doeschate, who hit his second century of the tournament. He added 121 for the fourth wicket with skipper Peter Borren who cracked a career-best 84 on a good batting surface at the historic Eden Gardens.
Chennai, India – West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell gave his all with both bat and ball on Thursday, but the Windies were unable to topple England in their Group B ICC Cricket Word Cup match at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk.
Playing in just his second One Day International, the 22-year-old took four wickets with his right-arm seam bowling as England were bowled out for 243. He then returned to hit 49 off 46 balls to take the Windies close to victory and the two points required to reach the quarter-finals.

2013/5/5 Carlos sanchiavedraz :
>> [...]
(On last few days I sent two more responses but... only to Nicola
instead to the list, so here they are. Things that happen.
And I add one more step)
One step more, this time with success.
Given the situation mentioned before I tried to step back a little.
First, I tried only to run jack using jackstart script again. A few
tweaks and could make jack to work, but sound had glitches and
crackles whatever config I tried.
Second, I stepped back a little more.
I executed again Ampbrownie setup.sh with option 2 (update and install
additional packages). During this it changed jackd2 to jack1
uninstalling it. This could be installed before as a dependence of
some of the apps I installed in addition to those that setup.sh script
install (maybe sooperlooper or rakarrack, not sure).
Then, I noticed during rebooting that USB is only 1.1, so I changed
the hardware switch on the back of the UA from advanced driver to
One more reboot and... Voila! Sounds was almost perfect and delay
acceptable, practically RT, connecting in to out and using Rakarrack
with some basic effects.
Don't know if this success is due to some newer versions it appears to
have been updated on repos that are newer than those installed on
first run of setup.sh, or maybe some of the modifications mentioned
flicked the switch.
I made a backup with dd, of course, and I'm moving towards setting up
RPi as a Jam/Improv/Live headless station: boot an then run Rackarrack
as a multifx connected to Sooperlooper/Freewheeling as a looper, using
an external audio card and a MIDI-USB pedalboard. And then improving
step by step until reaching the limit on RPi processing and
In the future I have more plans in mind, but for now that's it.
BTW, I managed to connect a second usb device without RPi rebooting
because of problems with power with two USB power adapters.
So now I have:
- 1 USB power adapter to the RPi,
- 1 USB stick for the system partition on USB port1,
- 1 4 USB hub on USB port 2 (where external audio card and MIDI-USB
pedalboard is connected)
- 1 USB power adapter to the second mini-USB port on the MIDI-USB
pedalboard that helps to feed it and to stable the overall setup.
I think both USB power adapters are mobile adapters, I think 0,7A and
0,5A, so maybe with just one USB power adapter at 2A for the RPi I
could connect all this and a qwerty keyboard and something else, which
now I can't. That or just a powered USB hub, but that is more
Hope it helps.
Thanks all and Regards.

Valentino Rossi to leave Ducati and rejoin Yamaha
Valentino Rossi will leave Ducati at the end of the season after signing a two-year contract with Yamaha.
Rossi, 33, will race alongside rival Jorge Lorenzo after rejoining the team he left at the end of 2010.
The Italian won 46 Grand Prix races and four world champion titles over a seven-year period with Yamaha.
"By signing Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi, we have put together the strongest possible team," said Lin Jarvis, Yamaha managing director.
"This is a big coup for Yamaha. I don't think Valentino can beat Jorge Lorenzo over a season but he is still a top rider and this is a chance for him to win races again before the end of his career, which will be great for the sport. From Ducati's point of view, it is a PR disaster, but maybe a change of rider is what they need to make them competitive again."
Rossi is currently eighth in the championship standings. Lorenzo leads the 2012 MotoGP World Championship by 23 points and has taken five victories from the 10 races so far.
"This announcement is once again excellent news for Yamaha," added Jarvis.
"In June, we were able to sign Jorge Lorenzo for the 2013-14 campaign and now we are able to confirm Valentino Rossi for the next two years.
"We have run this 'super team' together in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and during that time we achieved the 'triple crown' titles with rider, manufacturer and team world championship victories for three consecutive years.
"I have no doubt that, with the experience, knowledge, skills and speed of these two great champion riders, we will be able to challenge for many race wins and for the 2013 and 2014 world championship titles."
Lorenzo's current team-mate, Ben Spies, had already confirmed he will leave Yamaha at the end of the season.

12th August 2012 - 22:02It was just a matter of time before Rossi need to change teams. No former champion can stand this amount of disappointment. The only fault is that Stoner won't be there to play next year !!!!!

12th August 2012 - 20:50Rossi developed The YZF M1 He wont ever be unknown to what that bike can do it will be close yes but it think 2013 will be a battle and 2014 will be his last title win and last Motogp Year, Look back when everyone thought he wouldnt win when he had to start from pit lane and have a 15 second wait and he won the race by 10 seconds remember when he showed up the Moaner at Seca & Lorenzo at Cata

12th August 2012 - 20:38In 2007 when Stoner Won his title he was on a whole different package than 2008 when he won the championship he said to Ducati i want to keep the bike like this and Ducati Being Ducati Didnt listen too him and looked what happened from then on in he fell off and never won a title on the Duke again So it Ducati's fault for there own failure
Comment number 47.
12th August 2012 - 16:29Pretty sure that crash at Laguna made Rossi's mind up, I mean if my road bike did that I'd be baffled, let alone a £1m MotoGP bike. The way it just let go in a straight line under braking was just damn dangerous. Ducati really are more than one step behind Honda and Yamaha now, and even if Rossi would have stayed for 5/6 years I couldn't see that bike winning a title or getting close tbh.

In this lesson, the students will work in small groups to design a tool-checklist that they will use for the remainder of Unit 5 to evaluate nutritional claims and dietary recommendations. This checklist will be a guide that prompts them to consider the key factors of nutrition and metabolism and their relationship to metabolic diseases that were discussed in Units 1-4. The worksheet provides some scaffolding for the process, and the teacher's version of the worksheet provides key points that the students 'should' include. As the students work in small groups, prompt them to consider factors that they may be missing.

I'm tired! So tired of living by the numbers when it comes to my fitness journey.
I've noticed what stops me from working out is the choice of which workout to do. When I spend more time thinking about which workout is the "right" one to get a "good burn", than actually working out. That's a problem. It's an annoying process so I end up doing nothing instead. Before I had a heart rate monitor, a FitBit, and started posting my workouts online, I enjoyed working out based on what fit my mood. I was happier and enjoyed a variety of workouts in a week with no concern over the number of calories burned. I've never been a gym girl and I figured that out years ago. I no longer feel bad to say I hate the gym. I love my workout DVDs and using a different one every day is what motivates me.
Yesterday I was caught in the same crossroad. Which workout should I do? Where is the heart rate monitor strap? How much can I burn in an hour? Oh WHO CARES? As I was procrastinating by going through my Facebook stream, I saw a status from BexLife. The timing could not be more perfect. She wrote about exactly what I was struggling with – the counting and the calorie numbers fixation. It's not for me. I'm going to stop pretending this helps me because it helps so many others. I'm so glad finally identify what's been holding me back. It was so liberating to go over to my DVD collection and pick out a workout I felt like doing. I chose one I had bought last year and not used because I wasn't sure if it was a "good burn". Turns out it was a great workout. Period. I felt challenged and thoroughly enjoyed it.
This does not mean I hate all my workout gadgets. Not at all. They are just not working to motivate me right now. Maybe I will need them again in a few months. Maybe I won't. Right not freedom from all the numbers is what I need and I am going to run with it. That's not to say I've given up tracking my food. It's important to track what I'm eating so I know if I lose or gain weight. I've gone back to paper and pen to track food, water, vitamins, and workouts in a journal. Everything is together and I even jot down any daily thoughts about how I am feeling. So far it's working great and I've tracked everything since Saturday. My goal is to track for a month and see how this new system works for me.
Love trying something new!
What tools (if any) are working for you on your fitness journey? Not a fan of the gadgets, let me know as well in the comments.

He's now 76, but Kenneth Rodgers still remembers the thrill of attending summer camp for the first time as an 8-year-old in his native California.
That summer kicked off many camping seasons - in the Sierra Mountains, at Lake Arrowhead, and at San Bernardino National Forest, where the majority of his time was spent outside. "You had to improvise," Rodgers said.
Campers made their own ropes out of reeds that grew in the area. They boiled water on top of a camp stove to use for kitchen cleanup.
He was especially fond of the old cabins, with the wooden floors, screen windows and overhead tarp for the roof.
"It was so fantastic.... I loved every bit of it," said Rodgers, a retired businessman who lives in Mooresville.
He contributed $100 to The Summer Camp Fund because he wants other children to enjoy the same fun.
An initiative of The Charlotte Observer and the nonprofit Partners in Out-of-School Time, the fund helps children from low-income families throughout the region attend outdoor camps. The idea is to send more kids to the great outdoors, where they can spend safe, structured, quality time.
"I want to see some kid go to camp who couldn't go otherwise," Rodgers said. "There are so many families that are without.... I think it behooves us who have any resources at all to give a little."
