Sports Direct - Staff training fobbed off?

Posted December 27, 2011 at 8:27PM
My recent visit to Sports Direct leaves me wondering if I would go there again. not sure if others have had similar experiences but I found the staff in a store in South Wales to be most impolite, abrupt and not sure what to do when confronted with a problem.
The trainers I purchased from the store turned out to be too small for my son and I needed the bigger size. Took the trainers and reciept to the store and told that they did not have the bigger size. I could have a store voucher through, but not a refund.
I took the voucher and looked for a similar pair, sending my son pictures via email for approval. Found the same trainers as previously purchased and asked (out of curiosity) if they had them in size 7's. A pair of size 7's appeared, so what do they do when they go and look?
When and paid the same lady who told me that thye did not have them in a 7. No apology was given or reasonable excuse, just a shrug. I was then charged less for them (only one day later), but the voucher still had £5 on it. I asked for this in cash but was told they could only do vouchers.
I did find the staff less than curtious and clearly lacking in customer focus. Anyone one esle found this, or is it a one off???

That's a standard reply, virtually word for word to the reply that I received.
Alas when I have re-visited the same store I made observations about, after 'the event', the situation was and is the very same.
On your next visit, you may find things have changed. In which case you could come back to this thread and tell us?.

Here is the reply I received; more repeats than UK Gold!
Thank you for your email.
I was most distressed to hear of your dissatisfaction at the service received from our Woking store. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, as it provides us with first hand impressions of areas in which we need to improve our service and training.
Our relationship with our customers is usually excellent, so I am very concerned about your perception of the service you have received. I am going to conduct a thorough inquiry, bearing in mind all the points you have raised and I will take whatever action appropriate, to endeavour to ensure that we do not fail to offer the correct level of service to our customers at all times.
When my investigations are complete, any action that we find necessary to take against any member of staff will be dealt with as an internal matter and the outcome will remain confidential, in accordance with our Company disciplinary procedures.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that may have been caused.

I bought a football pump(including 1 needle) from them and the first time of use the needle sheared off. So I took it back and asked for a replacement and I was told no I had bought the football pump and that was working. After 10 minutes of discussion they finally gave me a new needle.

The headquarters & a very large store (I think the largest) is only about 14 miles from where I live. I have to say & I don't work for or have any connection with SD I have always been more than pleased with the service & quality of goods.
Reasonable/Good quality & extremely well prices goods are available from them & as I write this my T-Shirt is from SD.
Maybe if you want the very best service go to M&S & pay 3 times the price for the same quality, but me, I'll keep buying from this company.

People here are not talking about the products so much, but more about service and customer care.

@spuds, I thought I made it clear I have always been happy with the service I get from SD - That is my experience.
As a realist though as with most things, if you are willing to pay for a premium service (as in first class aircraft travel etc.) with one to one customer care & for example in sports & leisure goods, assisted clothes & trainer fitting, it's a fact that the costs of that do not come out of the ether.
If you want top customer care above all things you are not going to get it perhaps at the likes of SD. However: You will get extremely good prices for decent quality goods. I for one will keep calling in at SD as I am quite capable of trying on footwear & garments without assistance.
I also appreciate that although the stores are pretty full that often means I am able to get larger sizes for me that I often cannot get in traditional stores such as likes of M&S (which was just an example, as you know) who carry less out of average stock yet are airy & spacious.
For me the positive aspects outweighs the negative & that's the basic rule I use in life:
What do I really want?
What compromises am I willing to put up with to get what I want?
Others 'Wants & Needs' may be different.

Hot answers tagged conversion
C. S. Lewis wrote in Christian Reunion:
The real reason, I take it, why you cannot be in communion with us is not your disagreement with this or that particular Protestant doctrine, so much as the absence of any real "Doctrine", in your sense of the word, at all. It is, you feel, like asking a man to say he agrees not with a speaker but with a debating ...
This answer presupposes that the claims of Christianity are true. Since Christians believe this, and this site is meant to give a "Christian" view of things, that's the presupposition required to properly answer this. I realize that many people don't believe the claims of Christianity, but the Truth of the claims isn't what's being asked or what's relevant ...
You basically have three sub-questions here, so let me attempt to answer them in order.
Why do christians have to promote their beliefs to other people?
For two principal reasons: because we were commanded to at several different places in the Bible, and as an act of love. The Gospel improves the lives of those who live its principles, and we want to ...
The term "born again" comes from a passage in John 3:
Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."
Jesus replied, "Very truly I ...
There is no consensus among Christians on this question. Assuming that the conversion is genuine and permanent, rather than momentary weakness, the three main schools of thought that apply to this issue are:
Conditional Security
According to this view, Christians can lose their salvation. Thus, a Christian who converted to another religion would be seen ...
Chesterton probably wrote more than anyone ever so I'm sure he can tell you in his own words why he converted from Atheism to Anglicanism and from Anglicanism to Catholicism.
See: Catholic Church and Conversion and Why I am A Catholic and The God With the Golden Key
As an avid reader of Chesterton, I'm often perplexed at how much love he gives to ...
You must confess all mortal sins that you're aware of and any venial sins you feel compelled to confess. You are not absolved of any mortal sins you withhold, and intentionally withholding mortal sins not only invalidates the whole confession, but is a mortal sin itself. (catholic.com) And, if left in a state of mortal sin, you're expected not to receiving ...
I don't think it's important for a Christian to know the exact date/time when they became a Christian, but it is important to know how they became a Christian. Individual testimonies can be incredibly powerful, and often being able to tell the story of how one came to faith does involve knowing where and when it happened.
Certainly it's not vital for ...
I like an analogy that Hank Hanegraaff uses to address this question:
Imagine you're driving from Las Vegas, Nevada to Los Angeles, California, when you look up and see a sign that says "Los Angeles, 50 miles". Is it important that you remember the moment you crossed the Nevada/California state line? Or is it important that you know where you are now?
Short answer:
It would appear that the answer to your question that is reliable, and applicable across the board, is a resounding "no". Within denominational or individual Church/affiliation boundaries, there are plenty, but the numbers vary
Explanation of the short answer:
I've found several sources that give "fall away rates" with varying degrees of ...
It's because of The Great Commission given by Jesus Christ.
Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am
with you always, to the very end of the age."
It's the ...
Evangelism is Christian proselytizing
To proselytize means to attempt to convert a person from one religion to another. To evangelize means to proselytize for Christianity.
First of all, some people may evangelize in ways that would be considered "aggressive", but many others are not. In fact, the situation often determines the appropriate approach, so the same person could approach the same person in completely different ways, depending on the situation.
When my mother saw me as a child wandering close to the ...
I would argue that the moment of conversion is less important than has been stressed as of late. American Christianity is currently very worked up over the sentimentality of the conversion moment, and that is partly due to the tent revivals of the 1st and 2 Great Awakenings, Charles Darby, and Charles Finney (Darby and Finney, however, have had their ...
Here is a evangelical view from the Protestant tradition.
The concept of 'birth' means something that happens to you, not as a result of your own work, effort or commitment. The doctrine of new birth pertains to the new life one has the moment they believe the gospel.
The necessity for new birth shows that the old life from Adam can't be improved. It must ...
It is the Engel Scale. Originally it went from -8 "Awareness of supreme being, no knowledge of Gospel" to +5 "Stewardship" but now it is often shown as going from -10 to +10 (see eg Bill Hybel's Just Walk Across The Room).
A quick Google search will reveal multiple variations, see eg this YWAM variant:
Christians go to missions inspired and commanded by the book of Matthew. Precisely:
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I ...
Let me put it to you this way:
If you saw someone about to walk off a cliff, wouldn't you try to stop them?
The question is asking about a Christian's motives, so it's fair to evaluate this from the Christian's point of view. Perhaps the atheist about to walk off the cliff is only trying to reach a ledge just below top of the cliff, but if all the ...
A better question is, why wouldn't we?
We have the truth, and the truth is that you may have eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ. Pardon me if I say so myself, and I think I speak for all Christians when I say this, but eternal life is not a bad thing. In fact, if we didn't want to convert anyone, if we just kept to ourselves, it either means 1) we ...
As Chesterton himself has said,
The difficulty of explaining "why I am a Catholic" is that there are ten thousand reasons all amounting to one reason: that Catholicism is true. I could fill all my space with separate sentences each beginning with the words, "It is the only thing that…" As, for instance, (1) It is the only thing that really ...
In his book "Mere Christianity" he indicates that Christianity is one step in a sort of religious evolutionary system. In his mind the thing after Christianity won't be constrained by religious divisions or Dogmas. This is one obvious reason he wasn't interested in becoming Catholic.
The evolution is approximately: Paganism->Christianity->Something ...
The question of conversion in Christianity as a whole is very different than when you just look at western evangelicals. For someone raised entirely in a christian family and in a church they stay with their entire lives, there may never be a "conversion" since there may never have been a time when they weren't christian.
Most evangelical churches ...
The Apostle John addresses this issue in his first epistle:
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 1 John 2:19 ESV
This teaches that those who leave [Christianity] were never really Christians.
Born again is not simply believing that Christ is our savior. Scripturally, one must be baptized as in John 3.
Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if ...
What is described in this link does seem to me to be a model for becoming a Christian but a means of describing where someone is on the spectrum of belief/faith. In particular, this document seems to employ the scale as a means of comparing some beliefs of different Christian groups.
I don't think a model such as you're describing exists. To use a ...
From 2000-2008:
Over these nine years, the Catholic presence in the world has grown from 1.045 billion in 2000 to 1.166 billion in 2008, an increase of 11.54%. Considering the statistics in detail, numbers in Africa grew by 33%, in Europe they remained generally stable (an increase of 1.17%), while in Asia they increased by 15.61%, in Oceania by 11.39% ...
A penitent should not go into any more details than absolutely necessary to reveal the sin. Confessors prefer that penitents get to the point and don't tell elaborate stories or be loquacious. If they need details or more context to assess the gravity of the sin, they will ask you.
For example, if you confess "I killed a man.", it would be necessary to know ...
I liked David's answer and +1'd it. He talks about one working motive and he is absolutely right in that regard - because a Christian cares about the one they are witnessing to - that's the answer in the Penn Jillette perspective basically. I don't necessarily see a problem with those answers, and when I share with someone, it is out of a motive of love for ...

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
I got my T2i bundle from the Staples deal 3 months ago ($340) and love the camera. This is my first DSLR so I'm still learning.
Got a cheap $17 macro lens from Ebay last week so macros are more fun now (stock kit lens is very limited for macro usage). Some recent pics I took with my T2i (kit lens). Needless to say, highly recommend the TXi series, especially if u pick one up at discounted prices. http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5153/img0152ak.jpg [imageshack.us] http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/7591/img0024arq.jpg [imageshack.us] Bukah (background blur) with kit lens (keep Av at lowest value): http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/5230/img0147qe.jpg [imageshack.us] |
I am on the fence for the t2i. I have never used DSLR before and I was trying to find a P&S for the 300$ range. Should I stop thinking about the P&S and get the T2i instead. How good are those kit lenses 18-55mm lenses ? I have zero knowledge about all this.
Please suggest. I might not buy any more lenses in future. Is this kit lenses sufficient for normal usage ? |
First of all, it depends on what type of point and shoot you want. Both the 18-55 lens and a good point and shoot will have image stabilization. Both have an auto mode and both have a built in flash that is over used in low light situations. The point and shoot will be substantially more portable and will have probably a 20x zoom lens. The 18-55mm will be something that you will probably wear around your neck and cannot fit into a pocket. The zoom ratio is also 3x. So if you aren't going to buy another lens, I think you are better off getting a point and shoot. However, if you are willing to spend another $100, I'd suggest getting a 50mm f/1.8 and shooting on Aperture priority of 2.8 indoors and outdoors. You will go from simply taking photographs to capture moments, to actually having photos people WANT to look at. It's not always about the tools, but sometimes it is. The 18-55 is a good enough lens, but most people who enter into the SLR arena are looking for more, much much more, and that is why we all tend to gravitate towards high end lenses. I started with an 18-55mm and a 75-300mm (which was crap). I upgraded time and time again and now I have a 24-105mm, a 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS which is awesome, a 50mm f/1.4, and a 70-200mm f/2.8L USM. Basically the lenses alone are worth about $3500 new (though I paid much less for them). So the short answer is go point and shoot. The long answer is that if you are willing to work at knowing how to be a good photographer, the 18-55mm will be more than sufficient to meet your needs. And there are upgrade options if you outgrow your gear. Your P&S when you buy it will be $300. If you upgrade after 2 years, it will be worth $80 if you are lucky. The t2i when you buy it will be $358. When you sell it in 2 years, you can probably get $300 for it on craigslist... which basically means that you will have rented it for 2 years for $60 bucks. Though not everyone will want to upgrade and not everyone will want to actually learn how to take a photograph. Here's a quick tip... Go onto facebook and look at people's photos. 98% of them are junk because they simply aren't interesting. The 2% that are interesting are worth emulating. Last edited by jdramirez; 10-28-2012 at 07:58 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost Having a great time and visiting family are mutually exclusive.
Kind of off topic but maybe someone can help me
I hear a lot about the Canon Loyatly program, my basic understanding is that if you have a broken camera you can trade it in but what if you want to just upgrade? Will they give you a trade in value or something? I'd like to upgrade to a 60D from a Rebel XS but the XS is still in great condition and working. Probably get more selling it on CL or something. |

Keeping up with tech news is exhausting. It seems like every day there's a major shift in a company's executive structure or a new product hitting store shelves. As Anthony Burgess's antihero from "A Clockwork Orange" points out, things change so quickly that everyone is forgets what's happening from one day to the next.
That's where we come in. We've scoured the headlines for 2012 and collected 10 stories that captured our attention throughout the year. We looked at product releases and legislation related to the tech sector, and cast our eyes toward space.
But in any list, some things will get left out. For example, one huge news story that didn't get a lot of coverage in the United States was about a power blackout that happened in India in July 2012. More than 700 million people were without power as utility companies failed to meet the demand for electricity [source: Pidd].
Narrowing down the items in this list was tricky. These stories had a big impact on the tech news cycle and many of them are part of a bigger story of what is going on in the tech world in general. We've laid out the stories chronologically. Let's get started!

10: A Mega Raid |
9: The Internet Goes Dark |
8: Facebook Goes Public |
7: A Windows Tablet Surfaces |

This event has been postponed until later in the year. New details will be posted on this page shortly. If you wish to register interest for this event please call 0131 666 2474 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Whitmuir Farm at Lamancha, West Linton in the Scottish Borders is involved in two projects trialling biochar, looking at its effectiveness as a soil additive, and looking at its effect on pig liveweight gain when used as a feed additive. This afternoon event will look at both of these trials and hear from the experts involved, as well as the practicalities of finding source material and making biochar on farm. We will also look at other points of innovation on the farm including the potential for a micro-hydro scheme, and how trees and shelterbelts are being used to provide shelter for crops and livestock as well as mitigate flooding. Cake and refreshments will be provided from the Whitmuir Kitchen.
Organic catch up and cake (2-3pm) Before this event the Soil Association's Head of Horticulture Ben Raskin will be on hand (with cake!) for a catch-up and a chat with any organic farmers, or anyone interested in converting to organic, This provides a chance to hear what is happening on the farm and to find out if there is anything we can do to help you, as well as share a bit more on what we're doing at Soil Association Scotland, and in the Scottish Organic Forum. This event is free of charge to farmers, growers and primary producers. Please note that places are limited as group size will be restricted, therefore booking is required. Download a booking form here.

Immigration Enforcement:
Preliminary Observations on Employment Verification and Worksite Enforcement Efforts
GAO-05-822T: Published: Jun 21, 2005. Publicly Released: Jun 21, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:

(202) 512-8816
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The opportunity for employment is one of the most important magnets attracting illegal aliens to the United States. The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 established an employment eligibility verification process and a sanctions program for fining employers for noncompliance. Few modifications have been made to the verification process and sanctions program since 1986, and immigration experts state that a more reliable verification process and a strengthened worksite enforcement capacity are needed to help deter illegal immigration. In this testimony, GAO provides preliminary observations from its ongoing assessment of (1) the current employment verification process and (2) U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) priorities and resources for the worksite enforcement program and the challenges it faces in implementing that program.
The current employment verification (Form I-9) process is based on employers' review of documents presented by new employees to prove their identity and work eligibility. On the Form I-9, employers certify that they have reviewed documents presented by their employees and that the documents appear genuine and relate to the individual presenting the documents. However, document fraud (use of counterfeit documents) and identity fraud (fraudulent use of valid documents or information belonging to others) have undermined the employment verification process by making it difficult for employers who want to comply with the process to ensure they hire only authorized workers and easier for unscrupulous employers to knowingly hire unauthorized workers. In addition, the number and variety of documents acceptable for proving work eligibility has hindered employer verifications efforts. In 1998, the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), now part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), proposed revising the Form I-9 process, particularly to reduce the number of acceptable work eligibility documents, but DHS has not yet finalized the proposal. The Basic Pilot Program, a voluntary program through which participating employers electronically verify employees' work eligibility, shows promise to enhance the current employment verification process, help reduce document fraud, and assist ICE in better targeting its worksite enforcement efforts. Yet, several current weaknesses in the pilot program's implementation, such as its inability to detect identity fraud and DHS delays in entering data into its databases, could adversely affect increased use of the pilot program, if not addressed. The worksite enforcement program has been a low priority under both INS and ICE. For example, in fiscal year 1999 INS devoted about 9 percent of its total investigative agents' time to worksite enforcement, while in fiscal year 2003 it allocated about 4 percent. ICE officials told us that the agency has experienced difficulties in proving employer violations and setting and collecting fine amounts that meaningfully deter employers from knowingly hiring unauthorized workers. In addition, INS and then ICE shifted its worksite enforcement focus to critical infrastructure protection after September 11, 2001.

preamp with LM3886 poweramp
I just recently started getting interested in designing a guitar amp... but as anyone i could use some advice... i'm also wondering about some stuff... Here's my schematic: Here are my questions: - since i'm running the preamp section on +/-15V i guess i can't use the polar capacitors? (the ones at the output of the clean channel and at the input of the tone control) - should i connect the gnd from the input with the gnd from the power supply? thank you for your help... Didier |

This paper develops and tests a conceptual model of the effects of store name, brand names and price discounts on consumers' evaluations (store image, brand quality perceptions, internal reference prices, and value perceptions) and purchase intentions. The moderating effects of consumer knowledge and prior ownership on the proposed relationships in the model are also explored. A store's perceived image is influenced by the store name and the quality of merchandise It carries. Results also indicate that internal reference price is influenced by price discounts, brand name, and a brand's perceived quality. The influence of price discounts on a brand's perceived quality was minimal. Price discounts, internal reference price, and brand's perceived quality exerted significant influence on perceived value. Perceived value and store image, in turn, positively influenced purchased intentions. High knowledge respondents are more influenced by brand name, while low knowledge respondents are more influenced by price discounts. Low knowledge consumers are also swayed by store name and brand name.

The Mad Dog is a very efficient headphone. You have way more amplification than you even need already with the Magni.
The only difference you'll get from a different amp, is coloration.
Very best,
And that should not be the sole reason for buying an amp, IMO.
If your amp isn't going into clipping, then it is pointless buying a new one:
One reason to buy a new amp is if your headphones are difficult to drive, like low impedance or with a low impedance dip in the impedance curve. Or perhaps they are inefficient, or low sensitivity.
It would be hard to believe that clipping would ever be an issue, though, unless the amp were very under-designed, and the headphones were very low Z.
Yes, but it would take a pretty under-designed amp to have the impedance issue! Didn't the Nameless One say that modern headphones amps tend to be around 1 ohm? Amp-phone combinations with impedance mis-match are going to pretty damn rare.
I disagree. The iPod classic has an output impedance of 5-7 ohms, and many ear buds have an impedance of 16 ohms, so that makes for a dampening mismatch. Many stereo receivers have an output impedance of 120 ohms on their headphone jack. All OTL tube amps have a variable, but typically high, output impedance. The Beyerdynamic A1 has an output impedance of 120 ohms.
What is it you don't specifically like about your current amp? That is the only important question and answer.
I would say go for an output transformer coupled tube amp or a hybrid tube amp if you want tubes.
Does a 32 ohm output impedance sound at all familiar? Haven't we danced this dance before?

Muslim Brotherhood leader, 682 others sentenced to death
MINYA (Egypt) - An Egyptian court has sentenced the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and 682 of its supporters to death, intensifying a crackdown on the movement that could trigger protests and political violence ahead of an election next month.
The death sentence passed on Mohamed Badie, the Brotherhood's general guide, will infuriate members of the group which has been the target of raids, arrests and bans since the army ousted president Mohamed Mursi from power in July last year.
The verdict, after a trial lasting only a few minutes, came just a month after the same judge drew condemnation for sentencing 529 other people to death in a similarly lightning-fast mass trial.
Judge Sayedd Yousef also affirmed the death sentences yesterday of about 40 of the defendants in that mass trial and commuted the others to life in prison, which is understood in Egypt to mean 25 years.

After hearing this, her parents cut off all ties with her. To pay for her education, she works as an RJ at a local radio station, "Salaam Namaste". When Nick is supposed to do an interview for Salaam Namaste, he oversleeps resulting in him getting insulted by Ambar on the air.

The potential energy curves of the ground state and the first excited state of H2 are examined in terms of the electronic force acting on each nucleus. The results reveal the detailed course of events that occur when two hydrogen atoms with parallel and antiparallel electron spins approach one another from a large internuclear separation.

Miley is performing tonight at the TD Garden. Earlier today she did a soundcheck for a few select people and we have exclusive video of the soundcheck taken by one of our Fun 107 interns Simone.

I hate crime always, but I really hate it when it involves a defenseless dog.
This guy's 11 month old Husky can really talk. When asked to go to the kennel, "Blaze" answers clearly by saying, "No."
You really do have to love a happy ending and good timing! A lieutenant from the Bourne Fire Department saved a dog trapped on Queen Sewell Pond this morning.
Eldad, from Hope For Paws is on a mission to help any needy animal. The organization recently received a call of a sick dog living in a trash dump. She was weak, tired, and suffering from mange. After taking a quick trip to the vet, Miley was doing much better
I met Tiger years ago, just a short time after I met my daughter's mommy. When i found out she had a pitbull I think I said something like..."Well, it was nice knowing ya".
Little did I know that Tiger was a gentle dog who became my buddy, and other than nipping grandma once, (think she may have deserved it haha) Tiger just wanted to make sure his loved ones were protected and was a great dog in every way
Does anyone recognize this little face? He was found yesterday afternoon on Sconticut Neck Road in Fairhaven. If so...call Sarah at (508) 961-7307.
If you're a pet owner, sometimes our precious little ones do things that make us think, "How did they do that?" If you're leave for work and your cat and dog are in the kitchen, and when you get home they're not in the kitchen anymore, you might have some escapees in your house.

The guys over at Pinkbike spotted this one:
As you can see, it's quite different from the just revealed Troy:
And even different from the old Dixon:
Devinci also said that the base model Troy XP in aluminum may have an MSRP of $2999, making it one of the cheapest 140mm Weagle designs (Split Pivot).
Here's hoping for a similarly priced 160mm Devinci 650b.

I�m guessing not many people have it yet, but there�s a new feature in Gmail called Web Clips, which displays little headlines above your inbox or message and is fed via, um, feeds.
You can add your own feeds and/or choose from their selection. It also swaps between feed headlines and ads, which is pretty clever, cuz it gets you looking at the ads a lot more (I�ve found). Each is labeled, of course.
Inside Google adds : Google has smartly monetized it, alternating evenly between headlines and text ads, giving you the best reason ever to actually look at an ad. Of course, its no substitute for a feed reader, but its still very helpful (kind of like the MyYahoo Deskbar). If Google is planning on adding a full feed reader to Gmail (and it should, since everyone else has one), it now already has a cool feature for it.
I just checked our 3 accounts and don't see this option anywhere. It's probably being introduced bit by bit.
Looking forward to this one, sounds like it could be very useful.
Google Inc. confirmed Tuesday that it has begun testing the use of its ads in RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, a move that signals the growing interest in earning revenue from news feeds.
Google ads began appearing late Monday within about 60 RSS feeds published by the LonghornBlogs.com Weblog, publisher Robert McLaws said. Those feeds appear to be the first implementation of a bigger pilot test that Google plans to conduct with select AdSense publisher partners.

What exactly does "zero deforestation" mean? In an article published in the journal Science, authors Dr. Sandra Brown, of Winrock International, and Dr. Daniel Zarin, of the Climate and Land Use Alliance, posit that, while the idea seems simple and compelling, ambiguity surrounding global definitions and metrics actually creates risks for forest conservation and accountability.
Over the past several years, governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations have paid significant attention to efforts to reduce tropical deforestation, setting goals and targets for the achievement of zero deforestation. These targets, and the global discussions which precede them, are well-meaning and imperative. In fact, when it comes to mitigating the effects of climate change, the role played by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) has received considerable attention. However, as Brown and Zarin point out, some of these global targets specify "net deforestation," some "gross deforestation," some do not specify at all, and others may actually use these terms interchangeably. This confusion over terms that each have their own meanings could lead to some perverse outcomes, they write.
"Until targets are clarified, and metrics agreed upon, zero may mean nothing at all," say authors Sandra Brown, chief scientist with Winrock's Ecosystem Services, and Dan Zarin, program director of the Climate and Land Use Alliance.
In their paper, Brown and Zarin further conclude that reducing gross deforestation will usually result in better outcomes "if the intent is to reduce carbon emissions, conserve biodiversity, and protect hydrological services" because net deforestation targets are often ambiguous in these areas. This points out the importance of clear targets, as well as a consensus on metrics, if, in the end, the goal is to be rendered achievable. Rather than a global target for zero deforestation, "governments, corporations, and nongovernmental organizations should instead set separate, ambitious targets for reductions in gross deforestation and for reforestation," write Brown and Zarin.
"Monitoring gross changes in forest cover—both losses and gains—is now not a technical challenge because there are many satellite data providers to choose from, robust methods for imagery interpretation, and increased computing power; what is needed is the global commitment to allocate the resources to get the job done," says Brown.
Brown and Zarin's paper examining the global policies surrounding "zero deforestation" will be published in the Policy Forum section of the November 15, 2013, issue of the journal Science.

Enjoyed a great hike with Erik and Roswell today out to Craft Island. Craft Island is only accessible by land at low tide. Great views of the San Juans. Lots of eagles, herons and wildflowers. The best part of this hike is that it is close to home.

Unwanted hair is a problem that plagues both men and women. With the application of laser technology to unwanted hair, it became possible to treat large areas quickly and still achieve long-term results. The GentleLASE Plus utilizes the 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength combined with the DCD to achieve a permanent result with a low incidence of side effects.
In general, the GentleLASE Plus is easy to use and effective. Most studies involving hair counts have demonstrated and 80-90% reduction in the amount of hair on the treated area with three to four treatments.
