Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Zak Billmeier Pandora® plus hands-free calling Alpine puts Pandora® Internet radio in your dash with the CDE-136BT CD receiver. With the help of your iPhone, you can skip tracks, change stations, and rate songs right from your dash while you're connected via USB. Android™ and BlackBerry users get basic Pandora control over the Bluetooth® connection — play, pause, track up. Great for your iPod® and iPhone® Just plug your phone or player into the convenient front-panel USB input, and you can use the CDE-136BT's controls to dive into your music library.

You can adjust your sound to taste with one of the ten equalizer presets or by using the 3-band parametric EQ. Music streaming No iPhone? That's OK — if your phone or another device supports Bluetooth music streaming, you can beam your tunes and control playback with the CDE-136BT. You won't get full control this way, but you can perform some basic functions like track up and track down. Advanced Bluetooth features Have you ever tried to talk to someone, but been unable to understand them because their in-car Bluetooth just didn't cut it? Your callers will hear you loud and clear with the CDE-136BT fielding your calls. First, you can mount the included microphone in a good spot in front of you so it'll have no problem picking up your voice. Next, the receiver lets you adjust the mic's gain to best match your speaking voice. You can also tweak the phone output and ring volume, so you won't go diving for the volume knob every time someone calls. And, last of all, this Alpine downloads up to a thousand names from your phonebook, and allows you to search by alphabet to find the number you want.

My stance on the Alpine CDE-136BT car stereo Written By XP, Salinas, CA on Wednesday, March 20, 2013 rating "Coolness Factor" rating Build Quality rating Ease of Use rating Sound Quality rating Value I used to have a JVC car stereo until my friends recommended Alpine & I haven't looked back since. I recently bought an Alpine to upgrade from my previous Alpine. I absolutely love this stereo & I love Alpine. Keep up the doog work Alpine. Pros: It has great features such as bluetooth, IPod plug-in, & nice display Cons: The USB port doesn't play songs from the USB Was this review helpful? Yes No Bang for the Buck!! Written By Scobeezy, Henderson, NV on Thursday, February 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great deck for the money. It was easy to install and everything went together nicely. Works seamlessly with iPhone and makes it a breeze to listen to your favorite music or podcasts! Pros: Easy to understand and setup. The mic that connects to the deck is awesome for speaking hands free through the stereo! Comes in clear and no one complains about not hearing me either! Great device, highly recommend! Cons: Be aware of where you want to add the mic beforehand. I had to take everything back out and drill through the plastic deck adapter kit to make it easy to place in my vehicle. My own fault but I should have paid attention. Just a heads up! Was this review helpful? Yes No Works as advertised Written By Phil, Valparaiso,In on Monday, February 11, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Installed easily in a 2012 Patriot. Sound quality is great. Easy to change inputs with the dial. Bluetooth is fantatstic, especially for handsfree calling. When a call comes in the receiver automatically switches to phone mode and displays CID\calling name if programmed in your IPhone, very nice feature. You select how to answer the call or send it to vm. Pros: Easy install. Compatibilty with IPhone4 for music and handsfree calling via bluetooth Cons: Radio reception could be better. Was this review helpful? Yes No works with iPhone 5 Written By Joe, Mount Rainier, Md. on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Installed this in my 96 Ford Explorer XLT. Getting the harness hooked up correctly was a pain (master sheet said blue wire w/ white didn't need to be used...it actually did!). The receiver works great with my updated iPhone 5 and charges properly when hooked up to bluetooth. I think it looks somewhat "no thrills" but the quality is nice and the bluetooth works great and is crystal clear with my iPhone 5. I added some Polk 5x7's and it sounds good...but not great. I think this may be because I have to use the harness with the gain adjustments (might need to tweak it) and the speakers I choose. For the price, I think its a good deal and my other Alpine receiver in my other car is still going strong after 10 years. Hopefully this one will last as long! Pros: works GREAT and charges with my iPhone 5 bluetooth mic works great and is clear Cons: -plain looking -no color choice for buttons...only blue illumination Was this review helpful? Yes No Great product! Crutchfield is awesome! Written By Kraut, Sacramento CA. on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I had bought a KDC-BT752HD for my wife for X-mas.........Installed it, worked great!........but......the built in mic for the 'Parrot' hands free was picking up all the road noise from her sports car (95 Toyota Celica GT). So I had to uninstall it and send it back.... Crutchfield was great!....I called and told then of my problem, and had the CDE-136-BT recommended to me because of the external mic. so I ordered it and they sent me a e-mail return shipping tag and sent out my new order before I sent the return back. It was easy, I sent the return back the same day, no problem. If I buy any car stereo, I will buy from Crutchfield!......Oh, BTW, I could not figure out how to use some of the features....so i called again, and Mark walked me through the details....The Alpine factory manual has alot to be desired.... Pros: Great package for the price, the hands free works great!.........I can hear clearly what my wife is saying while she is driving down the freeway. Cons: Alpines manual for use is poor...............I had to call Crutchfield to learn how too use certain features..........A issue that they should not have to deal with, but Crutchfield (Mark) did anyway, so now I love this stereo! Was this review helpful? Yes No Blue Tooth issues Written By Alpine used to rock, Woodstock, Va on Wednesday, January 09, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this to replace the stock deck for the Pandora and BlueTooth. Out of the box it looked great, paired right up and worked the first time. Then I restarted the car and it took 20 minutes to get the BT to connect again. Talking with Alpine support all I needed to do was a factory reset. I am currently doing this at least once a week and there is a promise of a firmware patch coming (been waiting 3months) When the deck works it is one of the coolest things out there. The catch is often I spend at least the first 15 minutes of any drive fighting with it to get it connected. I have 5 cars and 3 Alpines this is the first time I have ever had issues with one. To say disappointed in Alpine and this deck would be a true understatement Pros: When it works it is a very cool Cons: About the time I get everything just the way I want it, I have to reset it as the BT stops connecting. Along with it Alpine support keeps promising a fix but has not delivered. I would put it on an auction site and get another deck, but worried about bad feedback as it seems broken. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine CDE-136BT Rocks! Written By saxman0321, Asheville, NC on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This little head unit is packed with features, and sounds great. It does everything I need to do and then some. It was super easy to install and Alpine gear is rock solid and lasts forever. The RMS output isn't huge, but the power pack option integrates so easily that it isn't a big deal if you really want to run more watts to your speakers. Pros: Easy to integrate, sound great, works with the iPhone perfectly. Easy to set up and adjust settings. My wife loves how easy it is to change the time on the clock! Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine CDE-136BT Written By Anonymous, Boise, ID on Thursday, November 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Sound quality is top notch on CD or IPOD mode. Blue tooth and Pandora are nice if you don't have any other music choices but the quality does suffer. (as to be expected) The blue tooth hands free for the car is great! I wasn't expecting much but it's as good as a blue tooth adapter I have ever heard. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. Pros: Decent value, the unit is fairly self explanatory. The one big button is nice. it has many features depending on what mode the user is in. Cons: This unit does dim, but I would prefer additional dimmer settings. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Freaking Awesome! Written By Paul D, Florida on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This receiver is awesome, The sound quality is amazing. worth every dollar with a discount with the dash kit is amazing. I have this hooked up to an Alpine MRP-300 pushing two Alpine Spr-50C and they sound incredible. Pros: Sound quality is great, Everything works amazing. simple hook up, three sets of RCA preouts, Aux, USB, Bluetooth Cons: Bluetooth is a little sketchy using my HTC Evo 4g Design, It hooks up fine but there is a little background noise only on Bluetooth, not sure if it is from the phone or receiver. Pandora for Android would would be super freaking amazing at this price but it only supports some Apple products :( I knew that before I purchased so not really a con. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine CDE-136BT Written By phil, farmingville n.y. on Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Got this radio for my daughters car.Spent 4hours installing and tuning it. for the money this is a sick machine! the sound going to the 6x9s in the rear and 6 1/2 in the front is clean and strong and that's without an external amp. As for the usb flash drive it is a little hard to navigate the search features at first, like i said i bought it for my daughter so i only spent a little time with it. If it was in my car i would know everything about it by now.I got the alpine because i had one in my bronco and i pumped the juice out of that deck and it never failed .you cant go wrong with alpine Pros: great sound...even greater if you expand 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Alpine CDE-136BT Written By Ernie V, Massapequa, New York on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value There is only one car stereo to buy Thats Alpine! I have been buying Alpine units for 20 years. There is NO better sounding car stereo. I have this hooked up in my 95 Town Car to an Alpine 4 channel 50x4 amp with Infinity 693.11i 6x9s in the rear and infinity refrence 5x7s in the front, I have a 12 in Alpine Sub in the trunk driven by a Rockford Fosgate RF2002 Bridged at 300watts. The sound is Crystal Clear and the bass in deep and loud. I jsut dont get the complaints about the bluetooth or the buttons are too small You will not find a better sounding Car stereo than Alpine. Those are nice extras But I buy Alpine for the sound quality! Pros: Another Awesome ALPINE unit!! Cons: NONE, Zero, Nada 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very good replacement. Greatt sound. Written By TomF, Marlborough MA on Thursday, September 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) rating "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I made the right choice. Pros: Pandora ready, great sound, USB port Cons: Wish I could eject a CD when ignition is not on. Small buttons Was this review helpful? Yes No Bobo Written By BoBo, San Francisco on Saturday, July 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This unit works OK. But it drops the BlueTooth connection from my iPhone4 every few days. I just have to go to my Bluetooth setting on my iPhone, disconnect, then reconnect. Also, sometimes I have to pull and then reinsert the USB cable to make it talk to Pandora. i.e. the handshaking going on it is not stable. But when it works, it works very well. Sound quality is good. Handsfree phone connection works well (assuming it has not dropped the Bluetooth yet.) Operationally this unit is OK, but it not the simplest thing to operate while driving. Makes you wonder who designs this stuff. But overall, I would recommend it, but it is not by any means, perfect. When is Apple coming out with car electronics? Remember Steve Jobs used to say "It just works." Rest in peace, Steve. Pros: Sound quality looks Cons: finicky Bluetooth connections Was this review helpful?

Yes No Alpine CDE-136BT Written By Matt C., Montpelier, ID on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I have this Alpine in my 98' GMC 1500, looks cool, sound is amazing and I was able to navigate through all the features without even reading the manual. Wish it had a stationary mode that I could scroll through the music on my I-phone and not have to do so on the stereo itself but all in all a well built stereo, I will definately buy Alpine again! Pros: Easy to navigate the features on this stereo, very good sound Cons: Not able to scroll through music on I-pod or I-phone while it is connected to the stereo, have to use the stereo controls which is not near as fast 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Works exactly as described. I absolutely love it. While using blue tooth it will even integrate with the iPhone GPS app waze.

Yes No Alpine Stereo ok, Bluetooth STINKS Written By Kalyson, sacramento, ca on Friday, June 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) rating "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value The stereo receiver itself is pretty good. But the Bluetooth is really, really cheaply made and is unusable. We had the stereo installers rip it out. We have a Ford F150 2012 XLT and we would have been better off just leaving the factory stereo in, adding a line out converter, and hooking it up to the amp. The Bluetooth that came with the Ford was EXCELLENT. It was a real disappointment to find this one was so bad. We even tried switching the mic out but that did not make any difference. Pros: Ok sound quality Cons: Horrible Bluetooth 6 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Cons: None 1 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No pretty cool Written By zeek, FL on Monday, May 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Pretty good unit and really woke up my current situation. Bought my vehicle with an aftermarket stereo and replaced the speakers as they were blown but still couldn't dial in the sound and "stage" it correctly. Figuring that the problem was the head unit, I purchased the CDE136BT and wow, what a difference. Even though Blazers get a bad rap about being acousticly challenged, this unit really gave me a lot of sound without the need for an amp on the 4 corner speakers (standard front/back left/right). Planning on picking up another and installing it in my girlfriends car really soon. Pros: Bluetooth streaming for audio! ...and it works with an Android phone! This is the reason why I chose this unit as I didnt need to purchase another item to have BT in the car. It also allows me to take calls but I don't like doing that while driving. Cons: Not really a con because I do get BT audio streaming but the Pandora feature does not work with my phone (Android). I don't think its a con because I can still use the Pandora app on my phone and stream it using the BT audio feature of the head unit. The Android version of the unit is also a bit more expensive but you can still achieve the same basic functionality with this unit vs the one made for Android phones. Again, not a con but something to think about if on a budget. 3 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome - excellent choice! Written By MauiBuilt, Lahaina on Thursday, May 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Excellent item - easy to install and worked perfectly immediately! The sound is clean and sharp, the bluetooth calls sound great on both ends and the Pandora is seamless. A perfect fit and a great buy! Crutchfield made the process of choosing, ordering, shipping and installing very easy and quick - I'm very pleased! Pros: Easy to navigate and use - added a bass tube very easily - this system is everything that Alpine is about! Cons: Sometime the bluetooth from iPhone doesn't connect - can't tell if it's the receiver or the phone. 2 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great so far Written By goofydawg, HONOLULU, HI on Friday, April 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I've had this unit installed about a month now and it looks and works great. Sound quality is much much better than what I had. I had a stock tape player so maybe any deck would have made a difference. One thing I did like about this unit was all because of CRUTCHFIELD. I've never installed any stereo before this and CRUTCHFIELD made it easy. I had it installed about 2 hours total. Only problem I have so far is that you can't scroll through songs in FLASH DRIVE,,,instead you can only fast forward one song at a time. It's annoying when I have about 200 songs and to listen to let's say track 149,,,forget it. You'll have to press fast forward 149 times instead of pressing those numbers. Other things is my external mike is not working yet. I have to take it all apart to see if my plugs came out from the deck during installation. I'll update more once I check that out. Pros: Sound quality without an amp! Easy to use! Cons: No remote. USB MODE you can't fast forward fast enough. 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very nice. Written By Nat, NJ on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) rating "Coolness Factor" rating Build Quality rating Ease of Use rating Sound Quality rating Value My prior receiver was a Blaupunkt with CD, blue tooth and usb/ipod purchased from Crutchfield. It lasted approx. 4 years before dying.That is what I get for buying a brand with questionable reliability. The quality and power of the Alpine amp makes it sound more powerful then the equally rated power of the Blaupunkt. Pros: Very easy sync of my Android phone USB works great with my 8GB thumb drive Seamless connection to my existing Infinity component speakers and JL stealthbox and amp. Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Perfect replacement for the aged original receiver that was in the car. Bluetooth works great for either Sirius radio (via my phone), and the hands-free mic works as I expected it to. When using the phone via hands-free - very easy and sound quality is good.

Yes No Great radio that does not dissapoint........ Written By Chris B., Augusta, Ga on Wednesday, March 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value When I was in school, I installed car audio and Alpine has always been a go-to brand for high quality products. However, like the Sirens of mythology, Pioneer lured me to their side with the AppRadio and promises of iPhone integration. In concept, the AppRadio sounds fantastic but it is a failboat that dissapoints at every turn. After two weeks of frustration, I made my move back to Alpine. The humble CDE-136BT drags the AppRadio through the mud in every regard. iPhone integration work flawlessly, Bluetooth connections are prompt, and the hands free calling is fantastic. Apart from a few nit picky complaints (see Cons), this radio is perfect. Pros: Easy Setup, No-Hitch iPhone integration, Quick Bluetooth Connectivity, Crystal Clear hands free calling with a lot of user adjustability. Cons: No adjustable LED Dimmer (At night, the faceplate is really bright, even with the dimming option turned on), No Option to turn Text Scrolling Completely off. 15 out of 19 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great stereo Written By John EH, Carmel, NY on Tuesday, March 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I got this to replace an older alpine that started having issues with CD's skipping and CD load issues. I have a 67 impala convertible that I modified to accept a single din. I needed a stereo head with a USB and or bluetooth to remedy the issues with a 1967 suspension and a CD player. This unit fit the bill. It was easy to install, the wiring to my trunk mounted amp was one for one, all around a great product. Pros: USB port for Ipod, bluetooth, long wire for bluetooth mic Was this review helpful? Yes No Best Radio for the price Written By jgama25, Chicago,IL. on Monday, March 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Excellent Radio for the price. I own a Porsche Boxster Convertible and this radio is simply a great deal. I was pleasantly surprised by the blue tooth. The Blue tooth feature is easy to work with and picks up my voice extremely well even with the top down (installed the mic just below the radio on the CD Holder). Like wise the sound is amazing even with the stock speakers that I have. The menu's are easy to navigate and the functionality as a whole are top notch. I was able to easily use the ipod function with my Iphone and navigate by playlist, artist, etc. through the receiver. Installation was a breeze as the instructions are very clear. The only con that I can think of is that I have to navigate ipod controls through receiver instead of Iphone. This is a minor flaw that does not take away from the radio at all. All in all a great value, clear sound, and easy learning curve for this radio!!!! Pros: Bluetooth - works very well especially for a convertible. Excellent sound quality Menu items are very easy to navigate through Easy installation Cons: ipod controls through receiver instead of Iphone. 2 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Got that stereo for a first time with some problems. I think UPS drop that box from the 6 floor LOL. With 2 next days I got replacement from my favor CRUTCHFIELD. Very good unit. Love to use USB 16GB Flash card. Cannot find something bad about it. VERY EMPRESSED with quality of CD sound. Bluetooth works excellent. Was this review helpful? Yes No A+++++++ Written By Garry, OHIO on Tuesday, March 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This is a great receiver! A++ Easy to use and works with our DRIOD X android phone. No drop Bluetooth stays connected!! For Pandora to work with android you'll have to go though the ( Bluetooth streaming ) and not the Pandora that's built in the alpine. It also comes with a MIC to put anywhere in the car for people hear you clearly with Bluetooth calling. To make things clear this Alpine has it's own Pandora app that connects to a iPhone so you can control Pandora though the Alpine skip songs like songs and so on... But you can use Pandora on your android Phones as well with Bluetooth streaming If you want to skip a song you'll have to do from your phone then on the alpine itself. Not a big deal if you ask me. For phone audio side it's very clear just like talking on the phone at home. You can also add up to 3 phones on this receiver too. Kinda nice if your hubby or wife uses the car or kids for hands free calling to keep there hands on the wheel. Pros: To answers a call it's as easy as hold down the phone button for 2 sec :) and voila! simple. When someone calls you their name comes across the Alpine to let you know who's calling without looking at your phone. You can even look though your phone book to call someone from the Alpine too.

Love the Bluetooth and call features. Easy to install, I'm still learning all the functions and settings on it, just got it a few days ago and so far so good. Pros: Sounds great, looks great, lots of options, good price Cons: Only negatives I have about it is I wish it had a USB in the rear and would show text for the tuner, but I guess that is just being picky. 3 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

16-18, 12-16, 18-9, 21-30
Turning Point: With the contest knotted at 54-54 with less than six minutes to go, Nando de Colo scored four consecutive points to spark a 12-3 run for France. Lithuania cut the gap 66-62 with 1:25 remaining but got no closer.
Game Hero: France's Nando de Colo had 13 of his game-high 21 points in the final quarter. He pulled down four rebounds and came up with five steals.
Stats Don't Lie: France scored 13 points off Lithuania's 16 turnovers.

Nando de Colo exploded for 21 points and came up with five steals to help keep unbeaten France on a roll at the EuroBasket.
Playing in front of a sold-out Vilnius Arena crowd, De Colo and France prevailed 73-67 to remain top of Group E.
Tony Parker also had a big game for France, finishing with 19 points and both Joakim Noah and Nicolas Batum poured in nine.
Noah finished with a game-high 13 rebounds, six of those coming on the offensive glass.
"For us, this is our biggest performance in Lithuania," France coach Vincent Collet said.
"To do it in Vilnius, in front of this crowd means that we are a real team.
"Nando made very big shots that helped us get back in front."
Just as Serbia had to compete in a red-hot atmosphere 48 hours before, the French ran onto the floor and managed to open up a nine-point lead in the first half with Les Bleus getting eight points apiece from De Colo and Parker and six from Batum.
Lithuania, with Simas Jasaitis finding his touch and scoring seven points and the defense making life harder for France, took a 46-43 lead by the end of third quarter.
The tournament hosts, sparked by a Rimantas Kaukenas three-pointer, went on a 12-2 run over the last 5:59 of the frame.
Jonas Valanciunas had four points in that stretch for the Lithuanians.
A De Colo three-pointer put France into a 52-50 lead with 7:04 to go but it wasn't until his two free-throws with 5:15 to play which made it 56-54 did France go in front for good.
France stretched the advantage to 66-57 after Noah grabbed an offensive rebound on a Parker missed free-throw and dunked with 1:47 to go, but Lithuania passed the ball up the floor quickly and Valanciunas dunked.
Then after Nicolas Batum tried to dribble through a double-team and had the ball stolen by Jasaitis, Jasikevicius popped a shot from the arc to make it 66-62 with 1:25 left.
Following a Collet timeout, Lithuania fouled Boris Diaw and he sank both free-throws for the six-point lead again and both Martynas Pocius and Jasaitis missed three-balls to killed the home fans' hopes of a comeback.
"I think the key to our victory was our defense," Collet said.
"We forced them to take a lot of difficult shots. That helped us to remain in the game and to control the tempo."
Lithuania had upset the Serbians but now are 2-2 in Group E and in third place.
"We knew it would be a tough game," Lithuania coach Kestutis Kemzura said.
"We came back in the third quarter and we did a pretty good job on their leaders but the X-factor was Nando de Colo in the fourth quarter really hurt us.
"We couldn't stop him in crucial moments. We turned over the ball too much and the French got 13 points from our turnovers.
"We didn't shoot the ball well.
"We got a few open shots but it didn't work for us."
De Colo had played some very important games for Valencia in Spain's ACB and the Euroleague last season and that experience clearly helped him in the big moments against Lithuania.
"It was a good game," De Colo said.
"We played aggressive in defense and this is what we want.
"We stayed together throughout the game and we must continue like this.
"During the competition we have stayed focused.
"Tonight I had the opportunity to play my game and I took advantage."
For Lithuania, Jasaitis had 13 points and Valanciunas 12.
But unlike the 11-of-20 effort against Serbia on Wednesday, Lithuania made just seven of 23 shots from long range.

Two weeks before the election of Barack Obama, filmmaker Jeff Deutchman asked friends around the world -- including filmmakers Henry Joost, Margaret Brown, Joe Swanberg and Benh Zeitlin -- to record their experiences of 11/4/08. In this feature documentary, what emerges is a portrait of how people choose to live through "history": the celebration of a new future remaining entangled with the universally visible tensions of the past.

Comments On Jan 03, 2015:This wheel is very strong, but it is also very heavy. I ended up going back to the stock wheels because of the weight. If you have a quad with a 250 or smaller engine, I'd pick another wheel. Works great with a 450 or larger.

Comments On Jun 02, 2014:These wheels may seem like your best option, but wait. I've gone through 3 of them riding in rocky terrain here in Nevada. The centers get pushed and pulled out of center making the wheel wobbly. As far as a basic aftermarket wheel their great but for a race environment and hardcore rocky trails, I don't think they are strong enough.

Comments On May 28, 2014:I love the look of these wheels. You'll never have to worry about the tire coming off the bead. I punctured a tire during a race (which I did not find out about till after the race) I rode it just like I always do and it stayed on perfect. Any other wheel (excluding bead locks) the tire would have rolled off. I gave them the rating of 5 but there is a small problem with these tires. Getting them off the studs once they're on the bike is a pain in the butt. I think the holes are too small or it's the way the holes align to the studs. Have a rubber mallet handy and that will get them off quicker. If you never have to take them off expect to change the tires then you're set. I would buy them again even with the little concern

Comments On Apr 08, 2014:Now I think this couldve been my fault... Brand new wheel went to Baja, in the first 2 hours I hit a rock and bam! The wheel gets wabbley. It was bent where the wheel meets the hub. The 9'' wheels are wider than the 10 and 8 so they stick out a bit. There is a space where the wheel is put together so I might not have tightened that wheel properly and that couldve caused it bent with the impact. Other than that, THEY LOOK AWESOME!

Comments On Mar 14, 2014:when i originally bought the wheels i got them for looks but when they showed up at my door i couldnt believe my eyes and they were so strong....... i like the fact of when u mount or dismount tires there is no change of screwing up the bead of the tire on a sharp edge of cheapo wheels...... definately buying more of these!!!!

Shame on Chris Brown. The Grammy-award winning artist has turned to the internet to sell eight Pit Bull puppies for $1,000 a pop through a website called CB Breeds. Needless to say we are SUPER disappointed that Breezy allowed his two dogs to breed, contributing to our nation's extreme pet overpopulation problem.
Chris, don't you know that countless homeless pets are sitting in shelters right now? By spaying and neutering your animals, you'll make sure you are not contributing to this problem.
Take Action
Hey folks, please make sure your pet is spayed or neutered. Visit our Spay/Neuter Database to see who in your community offers low-cost programs. Already done the deed? Great! Take your activism to the next level, create flyers promoting the organizations that offer discounts, and pass them out at central locations in your community!

WordPress Or SBI!?
Now You Don't Have to Choose!
Thinking about building a website about something you know and love?
Since 2001, people have been using SBI! to turn that same knowledge or passion, having just as much fun, into an income of hundreds or thousands of dollars per month. Build an online business, like tens of thousands have done with SBI!.
SBI! is the only all-in-1, step-by-step system of process-and-software that delivers thriving online businesses. No other purchase is necessary. Everything that you need to grow an e-business is built-in.
WordPress ("WP") builds blogs and websites. But it does not build online businesses, not "out-of-the-box." SBI! does.
That, in a single line, was the difference between WordPress and SBI!.
Now, though, you can get the best of both worlds with SBI! for WP.
"SBI! out-of-the-box" is all you need to build an e-business. There is nothing else to add.
Until Now, Though...
"WP out-of-the-box" has never able to build a web-based business on its own. You needed more than that. You needed...
- well-organized "how to" info (video, written, mobile) that covers all of online business-building
- the right plug-ins and other software, all built-in (thousands of dollars to equal SBI!'s set of tools)
- real Support by the company & business-building help by 1 community where members have no ulterior motives, no vested interests other than your success
- constant updating/upgrading of every piece of information, every tool, as the web changes.
You need all of that, all in one place, because WP delivers none of it, nothing about business, actually.
SBI! for WP fills in all those gaps, providing the same high chance and levels of success that SBI! has been doing for more than decade.
We are not saying that it is impossible to succeed with WordPress. But you'll need help from many third party sources, which leads to a jungle of plugins and templates (with possible conflicts and other issues).
For so many years, "WordPress to SBI!" was "apples to oranges." SBI! is still the way to build an e-business, and gives you your best chance at online success.
But if you prefer to use WordPress as your sitebuilder, SBI! for WP is now THE other way. Using WordPress.
Few understand this success-vs-failure difference. In a single word, the difference is... business
"Online business" and "web-based business" and "e-business" are terms that refer to how tens of thousands of people, working spare-time or full-time (often from home), build sites or blogs based upon topics that interest them.
That's what most people think, but it's incorrect. The act of site-building or blogging is NOT e-business. It only plays a small part. You do not have a business until you grow substantial income and equity (the amount that someone will pay for it).
E-business Primer
Is the term "e-business" intimidating?
To do that, you must do much more correctly before, during and after you build a site or blog.
That is what WordPress does not include.
The good news? SBI! does.
The better news?...
No need to be a geek or professional writer. You do not even need to be a recognized expert in your niche (instead, you will become one!). Just do it correctly... Use the right process and tools. If you do, Google and other engines send you free traffic, which you turn into serious income.
How you earn that income varies from using contextual advertising to selling ad space, from adding an online store to offering your services, from promoting products of other companies to selling your own hand-crafted products, from renting or selling real estate to building a large network marketing team, from promoting your local offline business to taking your local business global, from driving your auctions to crazy heights at eBay to selling your own software or e-books...
Focus on 1 method to monetize (ex., sell real estate), or use many income-generators (greater revenues and more stability). Once you have traffic, monetize however you like.
How much you earn depends on how hard you work and on how well you follow a proven process and use the right tools to choose your site's topic (your niche), to grow your site and its traffic/income. It ranges from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands of dollars per month.
The rewards are great, and the risk is far less than building an offline business (ex., a shop). Once your traffic (visitor count to your site) grows, you'll generate revenues in many ways, even while on vacation, even if ill for months, due to significant and growing "passive income."
Best of all, that passive income builds substantial value ("equity"). For example, if your site delivers $100,000 per year in profits, it is worth 3-10 times your profits to someone else.
Most people don't think "build business" when online. They think "blog." (To make matters worse, they may also fall for "make money" schemes.)
Build a real business instead, one with long-term income and inherent value.
How Should You Build An E-Business?
People who want to earn income online tend to drift into blogging because "everyone's doing it." But there is a superior e-business-building option for most (not all) individuals...
SBI! Since the year 2001, SBI! has been designed from the ground up to build e-businesses.
WordPress Launched in 2003, WP is free software that enables you to blog or build a website. It does not provide you with all the information, tools, updating, guidance and support that you need to build a web-based business.
Blogging (or building a site of any kind), is only 1/10th of building an online business. WP lacks the other 9/10ths of growing a profitable e-business. This is where people ruin their chance for success.
It is why the success rate is so low compared to SBI!.
Now, SBI! for WP provides everything you need (info, tools, updates, guidance & support) to build an e-business with WordPress.
Start Now
For most people, SBI! is the best way to grow an online business. It's still simpler, more secure and has everything you need in one spot.
"Is SBI! right for you? Or is WordPress?"
If you already know the mechanics of using WordPress or otherwise really want to use it, start with the free trial of SBI! for WP.
If you are the type who prefers the simpler, more secure, everything-is-totally-built-in approach...
You now know enough to start SBI! immediately and risk-free, protected by The Money-back "Confidence of Success" Guarantee. Given SBI!'s unmatched rates of success, the only important question that remains is...
The fastest, best way to know is to try one of them, risk-free. Either way, your chance of success rises dramatically.
For most, we recommend SBI!...If it turns out that you and SBI! are not right for each other, simply refund, no reason needed. More likely, though, you'll be heading towards business success.
Strong upside. No downside.
All you have to do is...
Who The Rest Of This Page Is For (And Not For)
There's more to this page than meets the eye. All you have to do is click on the "Click here to show and read the rest of this page" link (just below this box).
Who should click on that link? If you want to grow an e-business and if you are...
- new to all this (perhaps even skeptical about the idea of building profitable e-businesses)
- aware that it is possible to earn life-impacting income online, but have yet to succeed
- highly web-savvy, trying for years, and can't figure out why significant profits elude you
- swayed by the "WordPress is free" proposition. It is only "free" if you do not count the cost of hosting and all the other tools needed to build a business online.
The conclusion is obvious. WordPress is "not" free, not if you want to build an e-business. All it does is put up a blog or site that goes almost unseen.
Take your time and read the rest of this page carefully, critically. It is all proven fact that describes WordPress, "PRE-SBI! for WP."
IMPORTANT: You are about to read what users of WordPress (without SBI! for WP) still face, giving you an idea of the competitive advantage you have with SBI! for WP. It does this by comparing SBI! to WordPress.
But you can have the "SBI! advantage" by using SBI! for WP with WordPress. No other product turns WordPress into a true BUSINESS-builder.

Madrid, Spain - Plaza Monumental de las Ventas
This panoramic photograph of Madrid's famous Plaza
Monumental de las Ventas was taken by James Blakeway. It features Spain's
premier bullring. With a capacity of 22,000 seats, it is the largest bullring
in Spain and attracts the top bullfighters, who appear before a demanding
and knowledgeable crowd. Las Ventas was built in the Mudejar style, characteristic
of many bullrings, with brick walls and ceramic decoration. Between 70
and 72 bullfights are held every year beginning in April. Since medieval
times, the most popular entertainment in Madrid has been bullfighting.

Barbecue Digest: How to spot a great barbecue joint
All barbecue fans have their favorite off-the-beaten-path barbecue restaurants, and there are plenty of legendary joints with a sufficient reputation for pilgrims to drive hundreds of miles to seek them out. But what about when you're zipping down a lonely highway far from home and top a hill and spot an unfamiliar "BBQ" sign? Is it worth stopping and risking a precious meal, when you only have between three to five per day to spend? What if just ten miles down the road there's an even more worthy contender? These sorts of decisions can drive a barbecue nut to acid stomach and night terrors.
Over the years, connoisseurs have formulated a variety of techniques to help their decision-making. In "Southern Belly", John T. Edge advances the cobweb test: "When in doubt...bend down and take a look at the woodpile. Are there cobwebs collecting between the split logs?" If there are, move on: it's a gas-burner.
In "Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue", John and Dale Reed devote four entire pages to this vital topic. They note that almost all authorities have endorsed a mixture of pickup trucks and pricey imports in the parking lot as a reliable sign of quality, but they add a clincher: "If the sheriff's car is there, hit your brakes immediately."
Porky LeSwine of The BBQ Jew came up with his own handy list of "ten commandments" for separating the meat from the gristle. The best of these tell you what to avoid: any place that is open on Sunday, serves beer, stays open past 9:00 pm, or advertises on billboards.
My favorite, though, is one I read years ago in a magazine (and, unfortunately, I've long since forgotten who wrote it). It's ingenious less for its effectiveness than for the sheer empiricism of its method. You assign a numeric score to a barbecue joint based upon the number of human-like things the pig on the sign is doing. A realistic pig just standing there: 0 points. A pig standing up and wearing a hat: 2 points. A standing pig in a hat and overalls strumming a banjo, winking, and turning a barbecue spit (or feasting on his brethren) - well, just pull right on over. You have found a winner.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - David Ortiz went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI, while Cody Ross added a three-run home run as the Boston Red Sox defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-4, on Sunday.
Boston has won the first three of the four-game set by a combined score of 31-11.
"When you play a Tampa team that is touted to win 100 games, it feels pretty good to come out fighting like we did," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said.
Vicente Padilla (1-0) tossed 1 2/3 frames of one-hit ball to earn the win.
Carlos Pena smacked a two-run double for the Rays, who were 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base.
Matt Moore (0-1) allowed six runs on eight hits and four walks in 6 1/3 innings for Tampa Bay, which has lost four straight contests and five of six.
The Red Sox, who led 4-0 after four innings before the Rays rallied to tie the score, regained the lead in the home sixth.
Kevin Youkilis worked a one-out walk and Ortiz followed by hammering a double high off the center-field wall to bring home Youkilis for a 5-4 Boston advantage.
Boston added another run in the bottom of the seventh after Mike Aviles launched a solo shot to dead center field.
Alfredo Aceves registered a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save of the season.
Boston struck first in the home second. Youkilis led off with a single and Ortiz followed with a double before Ross brought them both home with a three- run homer to deep left.
Boston tallied another run in the bottom of the fourth to make it 4-0. Ortiz reached with a one-out infield single, and Ross followed with a walk. Kelly Shoppach drilled a double off the Green Monster in left field, bringing home Ortiz. Ross attempted to come home after the throw to third got away from Evan Longoria, but Ross was gunned out at the plate.
The Rays got three runs back in the visitor's fifth. Chris Gimenez and Desmond Jennings had consecutive one-out singles and Pena lined a double into the right-center field gap just out of the reach of a diving Jason Repko, plating both Gimenez and Jennings. Longoria followed with a ground-rule double to score Pena.
Luke Scott tied the contest at four with a solo home to right field in the visitor's sixth.
Red Sox starter Felix Doubront allowed four runs on nine hits and one walk in five-plus innings...Boston was 2-for-5 with runners in scoring position...Ortiz has 16 hits and 10 RBI so far in the young season.

Computational Toxicology Research
The Virtual Embryo Project (v-Embryo™):
A computational framework for developmental toxicity
About 2-3 percent of newborns have a malformation and the frequency increases by one year of age. For most malformations, the cause of the condition is unknown. However, an increasing number of genetic and environmental factors have been implicated. Currently, little is known about the extent to which environmental influences contribute. EPA's Virtual Embryo (v-Embryo™) research project is conducting studies to develop prediction techniques to improve our understanding of how environmental influences may impact unborn children.
- The goal is for v-Embryo to be used to accurately predict the potential for environmental chemicals to affect the embryo.
- A selection of every day chemicals with known health effects in animal tests will be used to determine if it is possible to use a virtual embryo model to predict the potential developmental toxicity of chemicals.
- The research uses fast, automated chemical screening data from EPA's ToxCast™ tool, data from ACToR & Virtual Liver to create simulations examining how chemicals could cause developmental problems in the embryo.
- v-Embryo™ initially focuses on early eye, vascular and limb developments and conducts experiments using stem cells and zebrafish to generate data.

A newly formed group is hoping to give Northern Virginia women an opportunity to make an impact in the local community.
Modeled after similar groups around the country, 100 Women Who Care Northern Virginia is a giving circle designed for women who want to give back to the community but don�t have a lot of time or an expansive budget for charitable giving, said founding member Traci Richards.
�People really are looking for a way that they can be part of something that makes a difference,� Richards said.
Each member of the group pledges to give $400 per year to local charities. The group meets quarterly to select the recipient nonprofit for each quarter, and then the members give $100 directly to that organization.
The goal is to have at least 100 women join, so that, pooled together, the group grants $10,000 per quarter. As of its first meeting this month, the Northern Virginia group had about 20 members, and since has recruited a few more.
Richards, an Ashburn resident, got the idea while reading a book by Regina Brett, a columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer who wrote about the concept.
�My hair just stood up on my arms,� Richards said. �I poked my husband and said, �I could do this.��
As someone with a professional background in nonprofits, Richards said she was keenly aware of the impact that an unplanned $10,000 gift can have on an organization.
After learning about the 100 Women concept in May, Richards began telling a few other people about it in the course of conversation, including a business meeting with a woman she had just met, Nancy Mayes.
Mayes, a Springfield resident who works in communications, immediately knew it was something she wanted to be involved in.
�It was just so intriguing that you could make something like this so easy and still have such a great impact,� Mayes said.
Richards and Mayes put together a timeline and got to work planning the first meeting, which was held in Annandale on Nov. 1.
Barbara Meier-Conte, a Springfield resident and friend of Mayes, said she really appreciates the �minimal input, maximum output,� concept of 100 Women Who Care.
�I find it sometimes difficult to get involved because of the time commitment,� Meier-Conte said. She also enjoys the social aspect of the group, getting a chance to meet women from all walks of life.
At each meeting, which lasts about an hour, anyone can nominate a nonprofit to receive a gift. The group emphasizes supporting local nonprofits, but the money can go to a national nonprofit if the money will be used locally, Richards said.
Three groups are picked at random from the pool of nominated nonprofits, and then the nominator gets about 10 minutes to explain what the organization does and takes questions from other group members.
�The group asked really intelligent questions,� Richards said.
Loudoun Therapeutic Riding, which provides equine therapy for people with disabilities, was the first recipient of the group�s donations. The funding will be used to provide scholarships for people who can�t afford the classes.
�Seeing it actually come to be was a really great experience,� Mayes said.
The group already has gained a few new members since the initial meeting, and both Richards and Mayes believe the group will continue to grow as word of mouth spreads.
�We have high hopes and optimism that the numbers are going to increase,� Mayes said.
