6 Jobs You Won't Believe You Can Outsource
#3. Someone to Wait in Line for You
People wait in lines all the time -- at Food Lion, the post office, Starbucks or to get a damn iPhone.
They work it into their busy social lives.
But why spend the night wedged uncomfortably in a place where a hobo has probably pissed/bled just to get your hands on whatever PlayStation just came out when you can hire someone to do it for you? All you have to do is call this queuing agency in the U.K. called Q4U, and for 20 pounds an hour, you can get a full-time professional line-stander to hold your spot. Don't worry -- there are similar services in the U.S. and elsewhere (including Ukraine).
There are also freelancers who get paid up to $1,000 for the particularly desperate -- for instance, if you need tickets to the next Star Wars movie on opening night. Yes, people pay it -- some freelancers in the U.K. lined up for 1,000 pounds, hired by an investor who wanted first dibs on new real estate developments, presumably to get an early feel for lording over desperate people in low-income housing.
Who wouldn't be enticed by a slumlord's glamorous life?
On the other hand, if you don't want to bother with lines at all, you can always hire people to create a diversion with soiled diapers or wild animals so you can sneak your way to the front for your Nintendo 3DS.
#2. A Rented Cat
Cat Cafes are places where you can go rent a cat for an hour or two. It all started in Taiwan in 1998, because apparently the people there don't want to own cats but still want to be able to stroke, cuddle and hold them periodically. The idea became popular in Japan, and now there are about 39 cat cafes in Tokyo alone, proving once and for all that cats are Japanese kryptonite.
Pictured here.
Essentially, you pay an hourly rate to come inside and sit with a cat. You can buy treats to feed to it, take pictures with it, play with it or just sit there and hold it in your lap, presumably for supervillain training.
Other places let you rent dogs, rabbits, ferrets or even goddamn beetles. All in all, there more than 150 pet rental companies in Tokyo, and the business keeps growing in popularity. How much does it cost to get a monkey to follow us around all afternoon? Wearing a tiny outfit that perfectly matches ours? Because we'll pay it.
#1. A Rented Friend/Relative/Lover
Renting a person isn't a new concept (it's called "prostitution"), but in Japan, you can pay people to sit with you, pretend to be your mom or dad or distant relative, or even stand in as your spouse in social situations, because evidently Japan is teeming with the loneliest people in the entire world.
"I paid for eight hours of your time, and by God you're going to spend it playing pinochle."
One such person-renting exchange occurs in places called Campus Cafes, where grown men pay to come and hang out with college girls. There's no sex or groping involved -- the men are literally paying money just to talk to girls about whatever.
Hagemashi Tai (which is Japanese for "I want to cheer up") is a friend-renting agency. You can hire one of its actors to act as just about anyone for just about any situation. For example, at a wedding in Saitama, Japan, the groom's manager gave a heartfelt speech about how great a guy he was and how lucky everyone at the company was to have him. The thing is, this "manager" had never set eyes on the groom or anyone else in the wedding before. The groom hired him from the friend agency to the tune of about 20,000 yen. Although we feel that if you're going to pay someone to pretend to be your boss, you might as well have him give a speech about how you Chuck Norrised a bunch of terrorists in the face after they invaded the company picnic last spring.
"Of all the men I've ever seen gut a terrorist with their bare hands, Mark grunted the least."
It doesn't stop with fake employers -- you can rent people to play absolutely any part you want them to, for any occasion you see fit. You can hire a husband to tutor your kids and yell at the neighbors. You can rent yourself a father to walk you down the aisle at your wedding. You can pay someone to go to Disneyland with you. You can even get a wife to make yourself seem nonthreatening, presumably because that makes it way easier to trick girls into getting in your van.

ls: cannot access /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch: Permission denied
This is the link to the guide on using vgaswitcheroo I'm using: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
I'll be using Nvidia Unix Drivers because I'll be playing with the graphics card.
Any help? Thanks.
Ps. I'm new at Ubuntu, any help would be appreciated.

I searched a lot but I wasn't able to find a package that can really fit my needs. I want to achieve something like the "Page Table" in this image:
A regular table but with some "curly breaks" that gave the idea of a continuation and possibly a table under the first one whit a specular break line that continue to extend my list.
I'm also looking for two other techniques: I want to describe the content of some cells (maybe with arrows or some other references) and I want to highlight an entire block of the table (maybe with colors or some background texture like a plant or a house) giving me the ability of writing some legenda.

Caravaggio: Painter of Miracles (Paperback)
Francine Prose's life of Michelangelo Merisi (da Caravaggio) evokes the genius of this incomparable artist through a brilliant reading of his paintings. Caravaggio's use of ordinary people, realistically portrayedstreet boys, prostitutes, the poor, the agedwas a profound and revolutionary innovation that left its mark on generations of artists. Revered and successful, Caravaggio was protected by powerful patrons, yet he was also a man of the street who couldn't free himself from its brawls and vendettas. In Caravaggio, bestselling author Francine Prose presents the brief but tumultuous life of one of the greatest of all painters with passion and acute sensitivity.
About the Author
Francine Prose is the author of twenty works of fiction. Her novel A Changed Man won the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and Blue Angel was a finalist for the National Book Award. Her most recent works of nonfiction include the highly acclaimed Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife, and the New York Times bestseller Reading Like a Writer. The recipient of numerous grants and honors, including a Guggenheim and a Fulbright, a Director's Fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library, Prose is a former president of PEN American Center, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her most recent book is Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932. She lives in New York City.
Praise For…
"Racy, intensely imagined, and highly readable . . . Prose brings to Caravaggio a fresh and unflinching eye."
-New York Times Book Review
"Combines astute examination of his work with just a plain good yarn about a street tough who painted transcendent pictures."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Elegant . . . [Prose] fills out the intrigue of Caravaggio's own life and writes terrifically about the paintings."
-Hartford Courant
"Tautly written and insightful."
-Seattle Times
"In this engaging and informative short biography . . . Prose vividly brings [Caravaggio's] paintings to life."
-Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Matching gorgeous prose to gorgeous artworks, Prose responds to each image as a moment of theatrical revelation, sensual or spiritual."
-Boston Sunday Globe
"Everything a casual reader needs to know about flamboyant Baroque artist Caravaggio... Makes you want to go to the museum."
-U.S. News & World Report
"Prose's concentrated interpretation... clearly and descriptively explicates the pioneering painter's unique perception of the miraculous in everyday life."
"Fine biography--and a study of why revolutionary art can be reviled in its own time and revered in another."
-Kirkus Reviews

With winter comes the end of the fall/summer sports season. However, this is not the end out outdoor fun or sports. There are a lot of great sports to do, even in the winter months. These four sports are perfect for the cold and a lot of fun:
Ice-skating. Whether at a rink, or at a frozen-over pond, ice-skating is a favorite winter pastime. It should be noted that outdoor ice skating can be dangerous, as it is possible for there to be thin ice, so please be cautious, and pick a location with that in mind. Ice-skating rinks also have handlebars along the side of the rink, which makes it easier for beginners to learn.
Lacrosse. This can be played year-round with the right uniform and lacrosse equipment. There are longer sleeved uniforms available for cold weather, and some places even have lacrosse played indoors. Either way, lacrosse is a popular sport, and if there isn't a local team it shouldn't be too hard to create one.
Indoor Soccer. Another great indoor sport is soccer. The uniform and rules are the same; the game is simply held indoors. Some facilities even use AstroTurf in order to imitate the warmer conditions. Very often, indoor soccer is offered to both children and adults, so keep an eye out to see what is available.
Skiing. Perfect for a family vacation or a solo trip, skiing is one of the most popular winter sports. There are a variety of trails, difficulty levels, and places that it can be done. Look at what's available nearby or far away, and make plans accordingly.
Get to a rink, hit the slopes, or find the available indoor sport, and have a great winter.

MEXIA (January 3, 2013)—Manuel Armando Gonzalez remained in the Limestone County Jail Thursday, charged in the New Year's Day stabbing death of a woman who relatives say was his girlfriend.
But police aren't sure if that's his real name or an alias.
Christina Flores, 40, was stabbed several times early Tuesday during a dispute at 305 East Wilson St. in Mexia.
Officers responded to the home at around 2 a.m. and found her at a nearby residence.
She told them what happened before she was taken by ambulance to Parkview Regional Hospital and then transferred to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.
Family members said Thursday they were told she died en route to Dallas.
They said they were told the decision to send her to Parkland rather than closer Level 1 trauma centers at hospitals in Waco or Temple was made after calls were placed to both facilities, one of which was full and one of which did not return a call.
Officers arrested Gonzalez at the home at 305 East Wilson, police said.
Flores was not from Limestone County and didn't live at the house where she was stabbed, although relatives lived nearby, authorities said Wednesday.
She was acquainted with her attacker, authorities said, but the nature of the relationship isn't clear.
Family members, however, said Flores was attacked by her boyfriend, whom she had dated for a year.
They said she was stabbed six times.

Author: Gianni L, Zambetti, K., et al.
Source: Journal of Clinical Oncology 23;29, 2005.
Gene array and RT-PCR technology allows for the rapid evaluation of hundreds of individual genes that may play a role in predicting response to chemotherapy. Previously, such techniques were limited by the fact that fresh tissue was required for analysis, but recent studies have demonstrated that a sufficient amount of RNA can be extracted from paraffin-embedded samples.
Recently, Paik et al. (NEJM 251;27,2004) reported on the results of the Oncotype DX assay (Genomic Health). In that study of 250 potential candidate genes, the authors found 21 genes to be related to risk of recurrence in breast cancer patients. The study was designed to validate a previously established 21-gene RT-PCR assay. This assay is used as part of a recurrence score (RS) algorithm for node-negative, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer patients who had been treated with Tamoxifen in the NSABP trial B-14. The results demonstrated that patients could be categorized as having a low, intermediate, or high risk for recurrence based on the RS resulting from this assay. The authors suggested that the RS can then be used to better select patients to receive chemotherapy, i.e.: to give chemotherapy to patients who have a sufficiently high risk of recurrence.
The present study examines 384 genes to determine whether any are associated with improved response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. The authors sought to determine whether a specific group of genes correlate with response to neoadjuvant doxorubicin and paclitaxel. These genes were then assessed in a separate cohort of patients to determine their response-discriminating value.
In the last few years, several papers have been published seeking a specific gene set that will predict for outcome or response to therapy in cancer patients. The Oncotype DX assay was tested in over 400 patients from three different populations, and further validated in the study referenced above. The current study is hypothesis- generating, but it is still too early to tell whether a subset of the 86 original genes is predictive for pathologic response. The original model was tested in 89 patients, of whom only 12% had a pCR. The authors state that with this low number, they would expect a 22% false discovery rate when testing 384 genes. It is encouraging that many of the genes also predicted for pCR in the MDACC cohort, and that the direction of effect was the same in all cases. The concept of choosing specific chemotherapy, or whether or not to give chemotherapy, based on certain genetic profiles is very interesting, and we will await further validation of this study in additional patient populations to determine its clinical applicability.

As we know, for $1<p<\infty$, the Fourier series of $f\in L^{p}(T)$ converges to $f$ in $L^{p}$-norm. But is there any results concerning the convergence of Fourier series in $L^{\infty}$-norm? Since $L^{\infty}(T)$ is not separable, the trigonometric system fails to form a Schauder basis of $L^{\infty}(T)$, this implies that the Fourier series of $L^{\infty}(T)$-functions fails to converge in $L^{\infty}$-norm. But does the Fourier series of $f$ converge in $L^{\infty}$-norm for every $f\in C(T)$?

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If Fourier series of continuous functions would converge in $L^\infty$, then, by the Uniform Boundedness Principle, the operator norms in $C(\mathbb{T})$ of the partial Fourier series operators $S_Nf(t):=\sum_{n=-N}^N\hat{f}(n)e^{int}$ would be uniformly bounded. You can find, for example in Katznelson book, a proof of the fact that such norms diverge logarithmically.
I think you can find the answer in P191 "Classical Fourier Analysis",second edition, Loukas Grafakos

9 Creative Ways to Cook a Thanksgiving Turkey
6 of 10
Turducken is a unique variation of preparing a Thanksgiving bird. Its origin is not clear, but it is thought to have Cajun-Creole roots and has been traced to Louisiana history. A turducken is a partially boned turkey stuffed with a boned duck, then stuffed with a boned chicken. Layers of stuffing, spicy and flavorful, are spread between each bird. The three meats making up the turducken tend to make this option more expensive-and certainly complicated-than meals involving a single bird.

Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance Executive Director Paul Craney's March 25 commentary on transparency brings to mind that familiar saying, "Do as I say, not as I do."
One can scour the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance website and find plenty of information about how to donate to the organization, but little information about who is doing it. That's a step in the dark when one compares them to the Pioneer Institute they defend in their latest column, "Disclosure deficiencies Pacheco blasts start at the Statehouse."
At least in the Pioneer Institute's commitment to "public transparency," they choose to publish a list of select donors who contribute funds ranging from "$25,000+" to "$50,000+" to "$100,000+." Whether top Pioneer Institute donors such as David Koch and the Walton Family Foundation contributed $100,001 last year, or "$500,000+," however, is left to the imagination. Meanwhile, state law requires elected officials and candidates for state office to disclose the people and organizations that back them financially with their exact donation.
What should be most concerning to readers, however, is not that these organizations are hypocritical about transparency. It is that they pawn off policy briefs and legislative scorecards as "independent" and "nonpartisan" reports.
It is impossible to know who specifically funded the research behind the Pioneer Institute's anti-Pacheco Law essay, "The MBTA's Out-of-Control Bus Maintenance Costs," but it comes as no surprise to find pro-privatization public figures listed among their vague list of organization donors.
It is impossible to know who funds the research behind the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance's legislative scorecard, but one look at the only state senators to achieve their 100 percent rating — the four members in the minority party — sheds light on the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance agenda.
The irony here is that the Pioneer Institute and Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, which both tout transparency and their commitment to protecting taxpayer dollars, are attacking a law in the state of Massachusetts that has achieved both of those goals for decades.
The Taxpayer Protection Act (otherwise known as the Pacheco Law) requires state agencies to use a transparent bidding process, overseen by the state auditor, before a state contract can be privatized. The process requires bidders to prove they can save the state at least a penny and produce equal quality work if they are awarded a state contract.
The Pioneer Institute and the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance use public policy to discredit individuals relative to their politics, while shielding their views behind classifications as "independent" and "nonpartisan" nonprofits.
It also is not surprising to see these organizations colluding against the Taxpayer Protection Act in the press at the start of an election year. Readers should be wary of their "independent," "nonpartisan" policy briefs, legislative scores and commentary to come.

Chargers 21 Giants 20
• "Pray for the dead and the dead will pray for you." No, I am not referring to the Giants season (which coincidentally is also all but dead), but I am referring to LaDamian Tomlinson's career. Tomlinson looked worse than the 2007 Shaun Alexander and it was not even close. LT had a rushing average of a shade over 1.8 and his longer gains were mostly made by him being tripped up and getting two yards due to his height. He was just awful and needs to retire.
• "You play to win the game!" It seemed as if Herman Edwards had coached another game in Giants Stadium. Tom Coughlin got ridiculously conservative during multiple 4th and 1s with a missed field goal attempt by Tynes and what turned out to net 15 yards from a punt after a Giants penalty. Coughlin routinely would just run the ball once it became 2nd and less than 3 yards, which predictably went nowhere. The worst example was after a late Thomas interception of Rivers, which went down to the four, the Giants had a holding call and then ran the ball three times straight and then had to kick a field goal. It was insanely conservative and with a three point lead, Coughlin was playing not to lose the game.
Also, the clock management before the half was awful by both sides. In a 7-7 game, the Giants get the ball back with 53 seconds at their own ten. San Diego had two timeouts. Coughlin decided to try to put a drive together a drive at that point which resulted in a punt and gave San Diego the ball back at their own 47 with about 20 seconds left. Norv Turner, another terrible coach, decided that running five yard slants would get the job done, instead of running a twenty yard play to set up a reasonable field goal attempt. It is no wonder why Turner is considered to be terrible and it is scary that he was the better coach today.
• "Wide Right!" No, I am not referring to the missed field goal by Tynes, which was wide left, I am referring to the honoring of the 1990 Giants Team. Carl Banks, Stephen Baker "The Touchdown Maker", Matt Bahr and Jeff Hostetler as well as some other made an appearance. Surprisingly enough, Phil Simms who was up in the broadcasting booth decided not to come down. It is too bad that the Giants could not win one for their old team.
• "They are consistent only in their inconsistency." The Giants defensive line, which was considered to be among the best in the league was inconsistent today, having a few good drives, namely the one where the sent the Chargers backwards for fifteen yards in one drive, a sack, a blown up screen to the over the hill running back and a draw that went nowhere. However, there were other times when Rivers had all day to throw.
Similarly, the Giants offensive line was able to open some running lanes but Eli was running for his life quite a bit. Eli's left foot still seemed to be bothering him, as he was not using that foot much to plant and seemed to try to float it or zip with his arm alone.
• "Shades of the Dolphins." I was wearing my Joey Porter jersey to the game in the hopes that it would help the Dolphins beat the Patriots in Foxboro (it did not work). What actually happened is that I brought in the Dolphins' unique style of losing, the old dominate the time of possession and lose in the last few minutes in heart wrenching fashion as the Giants had the ball for more than fifteen minutes more than the Chargers yet gave up a late game winning touchdown.
• "Other stats and observations." Eli Manning was 25/33 for 215 yards and two touchdowns and Rivers was 24/36 for 209 yards three touchdowns and two picks. Jacobs had a decent rushing average for the Giants (about 6.1 yards per carry) with 11 rushed for 67 yards, while Bradshaw did little. Steve Smith hauled in a touchdown and seven other grabs for 57 yards while Vincent Jackson hauled in two touchdowns and three other grabs for 58 yards.
This was my last time at Giants Stadium, and the place was rocking at times, especially during Rivers' go ahead drive. The only funny thing today was that there was a drunk woman who was swearing loudly behind me. Normally, you would think that someone in their late teens or twenties was swearing, but this woman was at least fifty. You had your usual Veterans Day Stuff happen and a team from White Plains, NY playing football on the field at halftime, during which time you got to see about every gadget play in the book.

So one thing that came out of
our recent chat meeting the call to close questions was that some of our high rep members have been reluctant to cast close votes because it has been more or less unnecessary. Now that we're trying to get the community more involved in closing, I'm going to take this opportunity to write up a guide here on meta blatantly rip off a guide to closing from Ninefingers' post on Cryptography meta.
So one thing that came out of
Adapted from Cryptography meta, originally posted by Ninefingers
Rationale: why do we close questions?
There are really two ways to do moderation. If you've been on any of the
SE is slightly different - it works the other way. Anyone can ask a question on SE and closing a question is the equivalent of putting that question back into review/improve mode. It's a feedback mechanism designed to react to problem cases only, so the usual business of asking and answering good questions can just... happen.
Why do we close a question?
The philosophy of SE is that each site handles questions on problems you face or things you are trying to understand. The don't ask section of the FAQ gives you a good overview of things that don't work - to summarise:
These have been worked out over time and with a lot of experience from Stack Overflow and are, broadly speaking true. Sometimes, exceptions are made - it is always a case-by-case thing.
Is closing like deletion?
No. Actually, deletion is a different concept on SE. Closed questions are put "into improve mode" if you like, and are still visible for anyone to improve. That's the idea. Deleted questions are different - they have a red background and are invisible to all but high reputation users. So deletion is different and solves a slightly different problem.
What are the requirements for closing a question?
If you have 3000 reputation on the site you can vote to close any question for the reasons above. More on that in a moment.
If you do not have this level of reputation, you will find that under the flag menu, you have an option "this question does not belong here". That will raise a flag for users who can vote to close.
Why can anyone vote to close/reopen?
Firstly, anyone can vote to close or reopen (or flag as such) because it is your site. This is really important - it's about expressing what you feel works and doesn't.
How are moderators different?
Moderator close votes complete the required vote count immediately, no matter how many people have voted. This applies for both close/reopen votes.
Initially, as the reputation requirement rules out many users, you will see moderators doing most of the closing to guide the site and look after the content. As you gain in reputation, you get to join in.
Ok, so how does it work?
Ok, the important piece. Voting to close works like this:
How does vote to re-open work?
A closed question has a "reopen" link underneath it. If you click this, a dialog box will ask you if you are sure - click yes and your vote will be registered to re-open the question.
Below, you can see an example of the re-open link with two votes registered for re-opening (out of five).
What happens if I make a mistake?
Don't worry! Unless five people agree, or a moderator agrees, the question won't be closed.
I've seen a closed question and I disagree. What can I do?
Well, one option is to use your re-open vote! You can also always raise a discussion here on meta to seek clarification on why a question is closed and hopefully either a resolution will be reached, or you will get an explanation for the closure.
My name appears on the bottom - isn't this going to cause problems with other users?
Actually, surprisingly few closed questions generate any response at all.
However, if you experience difficulties as a result of closing a question, you can and should contact a moderator via the flag mechanism (which is anonymous). We can then take any necessary action.
How do I find questions I might need to close? What about re-opens?
Actually there are two tools for this.

You might be looking for mimesis (adjective: mimetic). Here's the Wikipedia entry.
The word you are likely to encounter in a Renaissance poetry class is the scholarly term "technopaegnia",¹ ancient Greek for "games of skill".² It encompasses all kinds of interplay between the words of a poem and its structure, including (but not limited to) picture poems, acrostics, and other such puzzles.³(PDF) "Technopaegnia" is not originally an English word, but is "surely an everyday term in literary theory"⁴.
The four references noted above are highly interesting in their own lights, and I recommend them to anyone who has a few minutes.
Acknowledgement: Texas poet Michael Helsem, one of my go-to poetry experts, kindly suggested the word.
In music criticism, the concepts of 'word painting' and 'eye music' are well-esablished. This is when the subject of a passage of music is literally reflected in the way the music is constructed. A trivial example is when an operatic character descends into hell, and the music will take a distinctive downward trend.
However, it can get much more interesting if the shape of the musical notation itself reflects some aspect of the subject matter. For example, the theme of Elgar's Enigma Variations is sometimes said (without much evidence I suspect) to be a visual copy of the shape of a stretch of the Malvern Hills that Elgar loved. However, many more examples date back to the Renaissance and Medieval periods, where elaborate musical puns and rebuses (rebi?) were employed - perhaps to liven up some dull workaday music...
Perhaps this idea has occasionally been borrowed by literary folk?
Shape poetry, or concrete poetry, attempts to convey the imagery of the poem through the way that the words are arranged on the page.
I would suggest mimetic poetry, but Googling the term only brings up references to Plato and Aristotle, and their assertions that "poetry is mimetic in that it creates a representation of objects and events in the world, unlike philosophy, for example, which presents ideas."
Could you be thinking of
If it were for a single word, one would call it autological, which the OED calls 'Of a word, esp. an adjective: having or representing the property it denotes. Opposed to heterological adj.' It gives three citations for this sense:
For example curt, pentasyllabic, and sesquipedalian all count as autological because they are self-descriptive. I don't know that there is a particular word that's exclusive to poetry, but this double-dactyl by Roger L. Robison surely counts:

After a year away, a familiar face for Rampage fans will be returning to the Alamo City.
Center Jon Matsumoto signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Florida Panthers in the opening days of free agency and will look to add firepower to the Rampage's offense this season.
Matsumoto returns to San Antonio after donning the Silver and Black down the stretch of the 2011-12 season and helping the Rampage to the team's third playoff appearance in franchise history.
"I'm really happy to be back in San Antonio," he said. "My wife and I loved the area and the fans were great to us."
In only 35 games with the Rampage, Matsumoto tallied 10 goals and 16 assists, along with 13 points in 10 playoff games en route to the team's first playoff series victory. Now the 26-year-old center is hoping to mimic that offensive production over the course of an entire season for the Rampage.
"We had a great run here a couple years back and we really had to battle for that playoff spot," Matsumoto said. "Competing for the Calder Cup is always the goal. The way it ended wasn't ideal, but we took a lot of strides as a team."
Matsumoto is excited to return to a Rampage squad that will likely feature many familiar faces from the 2011-12 season.
"Our team had great chemistry and everyone was getting along and clicking really well," he said. "I'm looking forward to coming back and seeing the guys who were a part of that run."
Last season, Matsumoto played 60 games for the Worcester Sharks and recorded 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists) before being loaned to Chicago for the final five games of the regular season.
With a slight dip in numbers during the 2012-13 campaign, Matsumoto said he's been pushing himself harder than ever before – both in the gym and on the ice.
"I worked out in Raleigh this summer and was really focused on my quickness and speed," he said. "I felt I was lacking a little bit in those areas last year. But I think I'm in the best shape of my life now and I'm pretty excited to get the season started."
Drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the third round (79th overall), the Ottawa, Ont. native has tallied 314 points (139 goals, 175 assists) in seven seasons in the AHL. He has also played in 14 NHL games between Carolina and Florida, recording two assists.
Matsumoto will travel to Florida for training camp next week and said he's looking forward to joining the young corps of offensive weapons for the Panthers.
"Florida has been doing a great job drafting the past few years," he said. "The future looks bright for the organization and I'm happy to be back as a part of it."

I bought this for my dad's birthday this year and it was totally awesome. He keeps it on his desk at work! =)
Haha - it's like a medieval Crash Test Dummy.
(Anybody else have those when they were younger? They were huge for awhile, I think there was even like a cartoon and stuff lol...or I may just be thinking of the cartoon commercials)
It's just a flesh wound!
Get this shirt too!
Same price at ThinkGeek.com and you get to drool over other cool stuff bacon, bacon, bacon items, (It's where I got my Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch) plus they have a Bring Out Your Undead Tee with the Black Knight.
Already bought this from Thinkgeek.com for the same price. Though you'd probably save in the shipping with this link. Not a Super Saver item so you will pay shipping...unless you're Prime, I guess.

I would like to automate the testing with selenium - even when I am right now a beginner with automatic testing and especially selenium. Therefor I am working with Bromine 3 RC 2. Is there a way to test an web application each night and send an email with the status of the test? Would you use another tool instead of Bromine 3? What tools do you use in combination with Selenium?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Bromine is more of test management tool and you could definitely live with out. Though having test management tool has its own advantages.
Besides Bromine you could also use - TestLink and XStudio. XStudio has facility to execute Selenium test, though I am not sure of TestLink
Testing app build each night and sending mail notification can be achieved using Continuous Build Integration tools aka CI tools. You may like to have a look at Hudson for this
I use Jenkins (formerly Hudson). You can set it to run your tests on a schedule, and email the results. The actual tests are python/selenium with nosetests --with-xunit driving. I use environment variables to select platform and browser, this is all configured in the Jenkins job.
I use a Maven build on Hudson CI there's a good Selenium Maven Plugin that will do most of the work
I only did a few learning lessons myself with Selenium (I am not a developer). But I enjoyed working with the book "Selenium Simplified". It uses ECLIPSE IDE, JAVA and Selenium.
For Email Notification I found an interesing snippet here: "How to initiate .vbs file from Java"
Hope it might give you some starting points.
edit: first link fixed
I used TeamCity for continuous integration to automate Selenium testing.
The TeamCity configuration can be modified to automatically send emails at the conclusion of each successful build, only on failed tests, etc.
As for now (while this stackexchange site is still in private beta) I would suggest to look for answers on answers tagged selenium on stackoverflow

If I have saved an image in JPG format after doing some edits, is there a way to identify that it is edited with Photoshop?
it depends what you're looking for.
1) File Meta-info: the meta information contained within the file can reveal which s/w saved the photo last (with possible edits). But this can easily be changed afterwards or deleted by another s/w.
2) Image data: now, if you're looking to find out if a photo file has been tempered (edits made to it), you should look into Error Level Analysis and photo forensics.
errorlevelanalysis.com, hackerfactor.com and other such software are only made available to governments!
It's easу. Photoshop CAN write its name into the EXIF Software tag, so you can locate images that have been edited by Photoshop using any photo management program that can locate images by the EXIF Software tag:
However, if you save your images as JPEG using File > Save for Web option (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S) make sure that you checked the option below:
otherwise you will not be able to identify your images later by EXIF/XMP Software tags.
You could try this web site. It analyses the picture, so you don't need the EXIF data.
Some photo editing software also add the name of the editor into the file. So it would look like this
And it would be in the middle of the file.

'beforesort' event is not fired by TreeStore
Ext version tested:
- Ext 4.1.1
Browser versions tested against:
DOCTYPE tested against:
- ____
- Observe slow sorting on Tree Panel, debugging with firebug, found that events are not suspended on Ext.tree.View which suppose to per 4.1 docs.sencha.com
- I am not even able to find 'beforeSort' event on TreeStore instance, neither 'onBeforeSort' function on Ext.tree.View
- Is it something documented but never implemented?
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- using tree grid sample with firefox+firebug
The result that was expected:
- as documented, suspendEvents called on tree.view.store(node store) before sorting on tree, resumeEvents and refresh tree view after sorting
The result that occurs instead:
- events not suspended on tree.view.store, layout gets update on 'sort' event fired by each node
Test Case:
<<insert working code to reproduce the report >>

See this URL for live test case: http://
Debugging already done:
- none
Possible fix:
- register 'beforesort' event on TreeStore
- before sort, fire 'beforesort' event on TreeStore
- work around, override TreeStore

Using a newer release (4.1.3 to be specific) I added this to the treegrid.js example and it is working for me:
listeners : { beforesort : function() { console.log('beforesort'); } }Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

And it's the Day and the time…
August 21th at 17.00 …
Its time to bring whatever you got and you were preparing so long.
Now or Never…
Time to live the Dream…Time to achieve the unachievable…
The first 500 cyclists are there to pursue their dream!
28 degrees Celsius and for some is really too hot!
But for Greek people it is normal. People from UK, Germany, Scandinavian countries have really big problem.
Me and my best friend Kostas are there .Ready and prepared for everything.
And the race begins…Everyone is rushing like it's a regular race…But it is not!!
No one wants to lose the first group!
And many will fall to the trap of overestimating their powers and over exhaust themselves.
After 90km Kostas is starting to feel fatigued and I am falling back with him because I promised myself that we will do it together. The first ones are leaving.
We are regrouping with other cyclists until it comes the time after 150km that I felt an incredible pain in my stomache that forced me to stop for a while.
Then my powers are starting to abandon me.I feel wicker wicker and I am only in the first 200km.Every 5-10 minutes I was stopping and resting on the grass and I didn't
Want to continue. Kostas was there to assist me and stand by me.
The only thing that kept me going is that I saw the video from last race and a cyclist that had the same problem visited a doctor in one of the Check Points and helped him to recover. So all my efforts for the first check in. I really was cycling with ridiculous speeds like 10 -15 km/h and when it was for a climb I was really struggling to death!
Most of the people and Greeks overpassed me until the first Check point!But Kostas was there.
When I finally reached the first Check Point it was like reaching an Oasis in the desert. Straight to the first aid to take care of me.Kostas was anxious if I continue or not.And the miracle happened.An ordinary thing for the doctor and extraoridinary thing for me.One simple pill and take care what I will eat for next few hours.
And that was it all. In one hour I regained all my powers and we were heading for second Check Point.Time was 01.00 at midnight and for me it was like I starting again!Kostas was drafting behind me and I was hiting speeds like 45-50km/h.
Trying to regain the loss.After this first adventure I couldn't believe that I was again on the run and trying for my dream.
I thought my story was ending with this unbelievable stomache pain!
But if you want it and you believe it mind can push your body to unbelievable things!
I was there fighting and enjoying these unique moments with my buddy and so many other people.
Until next Check point we passed over 70 cyclists that couldn't follow us.
Kostas as I mentioned in previous Blogs wasn't so strong like me so I had him drafting to spent as less strength as he could.
And the Kilometers were passing and passing…
The Plan was simple.Do the first 730km without stop and then sleep 3-4 hours and back again to the road.But plans some time never work.
Until 400km we found all the Greek team and with some of them we grouped together and heading to the big Check point in Brest 610 so there everyone could decide his next move.
For many people Brest is the point the rest for other people the decision is to cover and the mountain after Brest and then recover in Carhaix that is a crucial point.
That's the risk for good cyclist.Kostas and I had decided to take our risk and try to travel sleepless until back to Carhaix!
Hopefully I reached first of the team in Brest and waiting for the team to regroup and see what was the plans. Feeling so powerful and happy that I had completed 620km
in a really good time even as I had my stomache troubles.
But the things was more complicated than I had in my mind…
Life had a surprise for me after just starting heading to Carhaix with most of my Greek friends.
It was afternoon almost 19.00-20.00 o clock that we started and we thought we could
be to Carhaix around 00.00-01.00 so we could rest and sleep.
But again another adventure was waiting me after 10 first kilometers.
My shift gears started not to work until my shifts jammed and my bike suddenly stopped.I couldn't believe this.First time in my cycling carreer that I was facing such a problem.In the middle of nowhere .
The other guys told me that I should return to Brest check point and see if I could fix my bike in the Maintenance place. Also the weather was changing and small drops of rain started to greet us.
Yes that was my luck…
Everyone was leaving except Kostas..Kostas parked his bike and told me If you stop I also stop.I was telling him to follow the other guys and I would find him after even I knew that I would mostly abandon.But he kept saying to me we will started together we finigh together. We are one!!!! I couldn't stop after this.I couldn't take responsibility and for my best friends dream so I decided to return toi check point to see what they could do…
Kostas final words were <<I will be here for you as long it takes for you…>>
And the story continues in next weeks Blog…..

Alice and Bob play the following game with an $n*n$ matrix, where $n$ is odd. Alice fills in one of the entries of the matrix with a real number. then Bob fills one. Then Alice and so on so forth until the entire matrix is filled. At the end the determinant of the matrix is taken. if it is nonzero Alice wins and if it is zero Bob wins. The question is to determine who wins playing perfect strategy each time.
When n is even it's easy to see why Bob wins every time. and for n equal to 3 i have brute forced it. Bob wins. But for n = 5 and above i can't see who will win on perfect strategy each time.
Any clever appraoches to solving this problem?

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
Teachers teach.
Even art teachers, when given the opportunity to show their own work in their own exhibit, can�t help but diffuse some knowledge in the process. But for �The Raw and the Cooked� at Fort Lewis College, that�s exactly what they were asked to do. This is a case of �Do as I say and as I do.�
The exhibit is the first for the 2012-13 academic year and gallery director Elizabeth Gand wanted this show to set a good example. She invoked the �Wizard of Oz� magic-behind-the-curtain analogy by introducing the show to about 50 onlookers at Thursday�s opening.
�This show is about artistic research,� Gand said. �I wanted to show not just a pristine finished product, but the creative process behind it. Does it work to include a $10 thrift store desk in here? I think so � it creates a sense of the studio in the gallery without losing the aesthetic of the gallery.�
The desk to which she referred was part of professor Amy Wendland�s investigation into The Pilgrim�s Progress. Wendland has completely deconstructed John Bunyan�s 17th-century religious allegory, and her extensive research is plastered all over the wall. Her finished product, which is taking on opus proportions, is a long way off, but there are enough drawings and bas-relief woodcuts to hint at an artistic and academic masterpiece to come.
There are 11 instructor/teacher/professors represented, and each display shows why each is on the FLC art faculty. Their talent as artists is apparent, and this show allows them the rare opportunity to show it off outside the classroom. Some of the more interactive displays include notebooks, sketchbooks and equipment such as paints and brushes.
Assistant Professor Jay Dougan teaches three-dimensional techniques such as sculpture and ceramics, and examples of each are on display. His finished ceramic vessels and models of playground equipment, all precision high-quality products, are accompanied by his original sketches.
�I�m a big believer in graph paper � I love graph paper,� Dougan said.
The most hands-on display is Art Department Chairwoman Susan Moss� sewing corner. Her embroidered tapestries hang on the walls and viewers are invited to sit in a big comfy chair and try their hand at it themselves: There�s an array of needles, threads and all the necessary books to help even a beginner get the idea.
�When Elizabeth came up with the idea for �The Raw and the Cooked,� I said, �what a great idea�; then I realized it would involve me,� Moss joked during the opening festivities.
Also generating several looks from Friday�s crowd was Associate Professor Paul Booth�s colorful display of bicycle prints. The avid cyclist spent some time in downtown Durango and asked cyclists a simple question: �Why do you ride?� Each answer, which ranged from the simplistic � �Because I lost my license� � to the esoteric � �I ride because with graceful complicity, they take me anywhere my heart leads me� � was printed on a card with an image of a bicycle, color-coded by mountain bike, road bike, cruiser, etc.
�I love cycling, so the question was easy, and the inspiration for how to show it came from the old Tour de France posters, which were very small in the early years,� Booth said.
There are 11 faculty members exhibiting in �The Raw and the Cooked� covering just about every artistic medium imaginable (in such a limited space, anyway).
The others are Associate Professor Chad Colby (painting/collage); Adjunct Instructor Lindsay Ellis (digital prints); visiting instructor Barbara Tobin Klema (drawings and watercolors); Assistant Professor Anthony Holmquist (intaglio prints); visiting instructor Andrea Martens (printmaking, many on flower petals � very cool); visiting instructor Lorna Meaden (soda-fired porcelain); visiting instructor and Durango Herald columnist and cartoonist Judith Reynolds (political cartoons).

Whenever I've received this error, I just increased the memory to fix it. I have a case where, for testing purposes, I want to cause a page to use up all the memory however big I set the memory_limit.
I have no idea how to go about doing that.
EDIT: I tried this:
echo "start";
@ini_set('memory_limit', '1M');
$test = "a";
while (1) {
$test = "a" + $test;
echo "done";
But it didn't crash. At the end it just printed "startstart" which is strange that it was printed twice...
I'd like a simple code example, the "put a lot of stuff in memory".. well I know that much.

Interdisciplinary Liver Tumor Clinic
It brings together specialists across disciplines—including hepatology, hepatobiliary and transplant surgery, medical and radiation oncology, interventional radiology, and palliative care—to offer patients with primary liver tumors the newest, most aggressive treatment, symptom management, and supportive care.
"We focus on caring for patients with primary liver tumors (benign or malignant tumors that originate in the liver), as well as advanced and recurrent liver cancer and end-stage liver disease," explains David Axelrod, MD, section chief of Transplantation Surgery at DHMC.
Through the use of new techniques and intensive treatment, patients with primary liver tumors can experience long-term survival and may even be cured. These techniques include minimally invasive treatments such as laparoscopic liver resections and radiofrequency ablation (RFA), targeted chemotherapy and radiation, and a new drug called Sorafenib, as well as maximally invasive treatments like surgical resection and transplantation.
The Liver Tumor Clinic's interdisciplinary approach helps to ensure that difficult diagnoses and treatment options are shared appropriately with patients and their families. "We're very sensitive to fact that we have a wide spectrum of patients coming through our door, ranging from those who may be quite knowledgeable about their condition and prognosis to those who may be hearing about those things for the first time," says Deborah Lindberg, RN, who is nurse manager for the clinic. "Our goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible and to ensure that things flow smoothly for them."

What are the ways you can navigate when you don't have a compass or a GPS? For example how can you tell which way is north.
If you look at the current time, and imagine yourself in the center a big analog watch, just place your shadow on the location of the hour's hand. Then imagine the location of the 12 o'clock hand, and exactly in the middle of the angle between those two hands is the north.
If there's a stick around and enough sunlight, I've found the stick method surprisingly accurate:
I've used this a few times just for fun, never needed to in an emergency situation - but it's surprisingly accurate for such a primitive method, usually only a few degrees off.
There seems to be a fixation with North in navigation. Step back to the basic purpose, why do we navigate? We navigate to get to somewhere or to find our way back. Knowing north is just one method of doing such. So predicating navigation on knowing which way is north is unnecessary. North isn't the goal, it's a reference for finding what you really want.
There are two different types of navigation:
I never even touched a map or compass until I was in my 30s and I grew up hiking. This is how I learned to navigate. To quantify where this works, 99% of my outdoors time has been off trail, with no map, in the southeastern US.
I'm going to focus on #2 first, since finding your way back home (or to car) is more critical than finding that waterfall (or lookout, or whatever).
It's really that simple. Don't go on a 20-mile excursion your first time out. Your first several times in the woods should, if possible, be small acreage where if you walk in any direction for an hour you'll hit a road or known trail.
What about finding something new? When I hike a new trail, I browse the Internet until I find someone who has taken the time to write directions that don't require a map and compass. I contribute corrections as I find them. Sometimes I never find the thing I left to see, but find something else in the process. Sometimes I find it hours late, but it's a fun trip.
I sometimes wonder if trails handicap learning to navigate. Many people end up knowing little about traveling in the woods but following a trail or staring at a map/gps.
And don't get me wrong, I can use a map now and a high quality Topo map is awesome. But you certainly don't need to know North avoid getting lost (caveat here that I'm sure it's different in some deserts).
Basic celestial navigation:
In the northern hemisphere, the star Polaris indicates north.
In the southern hemisphere, you can use the Southern Cross, see Finding the south celestial pole.
If it's early morning, you'll note that the sun rises in the east. It additionally sets in the West. Normally, more plant-life can be found on the east side of a ridge (I don't have a source for this, I'm sure someone else can be more helpful) as it more fully receives light.
Personally, I navigate almost exclusively by features and carry a contour map with me of the area. I also memorize some prominent features before heading out as a safety precaution. Remember to always map out your route and tell a friend where you're going!
The distribution of sun east / west should be pretty close to the same. In the northern hemisphere, the south side of areas gets more sun due to the sun being more to the south (perpendicular to the equator).
This doesn't necessarily translate into there being more vegetation on the south side of ridges though, it depends on the environment. Southern California for instance will typically have less vegetation on the south side of a slope due to the increased heat and very low level of moisture. In less arid areas, you can see more vegetation on the south slope because they are not starved for water and they have more sunlight than the north slope will.
To sum that up, it's not safe to determine north or south based solely on presence of vegetation. You have to know your environment and what the effects of additional sunlight will have on the area.
When I go off-trail into the woods, I bring a topographic map, compass and GPS with me; of the three, the one I use least is the compass and the one I use most is the map, because I have learned to read the terrain and match it to the map.
Even if you know which way is north, that may be very little help in knowing where you are, how to get where you want to go, or how to get there safely (e.g. avoiding ravines, cliffs, and other natural hazards).
Learn to read a topographic map and it will serve you very well.
Depending on the terrain, a map is often very usable even without a compass or a GPS. If the terrain is anything-but-flat you can generally use the contours of the terrain to orient the map correctly. "Walk down this valley until it branches, then head for the mountain aproximately 30 degrees left." doesn't require a compass.
Learn to read contour-lines on maps, so that you're able to visualize the terrain from the map. Follow lead-lines whenever practical. Rivers, ridges, lakes, treelines, coastlines, powerlines or (obviously) roads are all candidates.
(1) I was recently looking to measure how accurate my compass is. After some discussions, I was persuaded that the sun is very inaccurate (maybe tens of degrees off when measured with a watch). Well, It is the most easily accessed orientation point, so nevertheless I use it most often of all sources (even when I carry a compass).
I want to suggest a couple of books I really like:
These books are not about quick tips and tricks. These books are filled with stories, history and a lot of nuances that will take a lot of time to actually master. These books are great for anyone who is really serious about the art of navigation (which entails getting closer to nature, noticing more,...). It's great if you're really serious about navigation and the outdoors in general or if you just want a nice read, but as I said before, don't expect a tips&tricks format.

dude. im getting like 2/3 guys injured per match...its not even funny. is this a bug...im using 9.3, i thought the issue was addressed. if it isnt a bug, what can i do to fix it? anything with training etc?
dude. im getting like 2/3 guys injured per match...its not even funny. is this a bug...im using 9.3, i thought the issue was addressed. if it isnt a bug, what can i do to fix it? anything with training etc?
dude. lessen the hardness of training normal tackling.
It's called an injury crisis. Alot of teams have had one irl and its just unlucky that its hit you.
My players are always injuried too ive had to start 4 different games because of this but its still happening
I just had 5 players injured in one pre-season match.
3 players will miss the start of the season, yet
I don't care... I like to call it football.. not a bug.
They are just too many injurys, i had 9 first team players out at one point!
I think the number of (red and orange) injuries are ok.
The number of players getting knocks in games so you have to substitute them is way too high. You don't see managers having to use 2 substitutions per game just to handle knocks in real life.
Players get knocks during games all the time in real life. The manager doesn't always need to take them off though.
Or sometimes they will, but as it's a minor knock and it's near the end of the game no one asks why.
Players often get bruised ankles/rips etc. It's normal.
It's not a bug, but sometimes it does go mental
I'd agree with the knocks thing - the amount of times you get the physio on does seem excessive when compared to real life.
We all have in real life football so it's natural to have injures on a game. at one point I had Ronaldo and Rooney out for a month (knee and a broken arm.
Wow, just had my worst game ever regarding injuries, 5 injuries in a match, 2 of them had to be substituted... and on top of that Milan, my opposition got 2 injuries as well the physios were needed on the field 9 times in second half, and 13 times in total... "only" 8 mins of injury-time in scnd half though
And this was in he Champions League final.
I just find it hard to enjoy the game(which im suppose to be doing) when i have sooooo many players out
It's supposedly not a bug and has been addressed and toned down from 9.0.0 but I still found there were far too many injuries (red and green). I actually had 60+ injuries 3 seasons in a row and my training was no where near 'hard'. In the end the frustrations of so many injuries and other issues got the better of me and i've gone back to 08. Shame really as 09 could've been great...imo of course
Keep in mind that your backroom staff also play a role in injuries.
Fitness coaches who are crap combined with crap physios will screw a team.
I thought injury depends on what condition they went into the game, how hard are you tackling, how hard are they tackling, how injury prone are your guys and how lucky you are on that day.
IMO, the injuries are actually quite realistic in 930. Sure you get injuries now and then, the occassional injury crisis, but nothing to suggest your players having glass bones or muscles made of tofu.
Try not to start a new game everytime the injuries set in. After a while it should balance out.
Happened to me. Started a new game with Man Utd had ten players injured for the first few games but Arsenal and City have the same problems IRL so put up with it.

Are you keeping your shoprunner.com membership?
Last year, ShopRunner.com offered one year of free two-day shipping on a complimentary basis. That year is almost up, and it's renewal time.
Was it worth it? Are you going to renew your membership? What is your favorite place to use ShopRunner?
16 Answers answer
While I have been very happy with my Shoprunner membership, I haven't been $75 a year happy. So no, I won't be keeping it.
For myself, I used it most at ShopMLB.com. For gifts, I used it most at ToysRus. That being said, I am disappointed with how many small/normal sized items are not eligible for Shoprunner shipping at ToysRus. Without a doubt, the biggest reason I won't be keeping the membership.
No, I don't plan on renewing. I had the same problems as @tarasadies with ToysRUs.com, where it's unavailable for a lot of items. If Shoprunner was more broadly available to other online retailers, then maybe I'd have an incentive to keep it, but not even being able to use it fully on just one site is very disappointing.
I was thinking about getting a Shoprunner membership, I buy a good bit on Newegg. But, liked everybody, I found that everything from computer cases to even big video cards weren't included, I gave up on it.
Compare that to Amazon. Even this:
shipped for free. Two day shipping even.
It was a nice surprise the few times this year when I was about to purchase something and learned it had free shipping for me, but it's so rare for me, it's not worth the cost. I do pay for Amazon Prime (where I can often find the cheapest price on something anyways) and also get streaming that we use often enough to help make the Prime cost worth it. Stopping Prime to pay for Shoprunner would limit my purchasing abilities so much, I just wouldn't ever do it.
I did enjoy the free reusable bag they sent me though!
It was nice having it free this year but I definitely didn't buy enough to be worth $75. However, I'm not renewing my Prime membership, and Shoprunner has a "Buy $50 from Shoprunner by December 31 and renew for $29," so if I'm able to find $50 worth of stuff I need at a decent price, I'll probably do that.
I've only managed to take advantage of it a handful of times in the past year on some newegg orders. So, for me, it simply isn't worth it to renew my membership.
I've used it quite a bit for Newegg and Dominos, so I'm with @curli76 on this.
I happened to make a $50+ purchase the day they announced the $29 renewal, so I'll give it one more year. It's been nice, but I haven't been gaining that much. A lot of what I order at NewEgg came with 3-day shipping, so bumping it up to 2-day shipping on a bigger selection is nice, but not life-changing.
In short NO
Nope, not even for the $29 renewal. Most of what I order (usually from Newegg) has free shipping anyway, so really all it does is let me get it a little faster. That's not a big concern of mine, so I'm just going to let it expire.
I only received free 2 day shipping a grand total of 3 times in the past year from NewEgg, and I believe all 3 would have had free 3 day shipping anyway. For me this would be a solid no.
I didn't participate in the freebie offer because I have Prime. There's really not much comparison. +1 for an interesting question. :)
Like everybody else, I'm also not going to bother renewing. Exclusions and a low number of sites I actually use killed it for me. It would be mildly tempting at $10 a year or so, but at 70+ it's silly, for not much more than that I could have Prime, Hulu+, or Netflix, all of which I'd get a lot more use out of.
I too am letting my membership expire. So far I've only used it twice. It came very handy when I did use it, but not worth the hefty price tag. I have noticed that more stores have started to participate, so while it maybe good for some not yet for me.
@straub: You must be lucky. I order from NewEgg a lot. About 1 in 3 items I order does not have free shipping, except with Shoprunner. It doesn't add up to much, but it probably adds up to close to $30 in a year.
I let mine expire and I got an email a couple months later to get ONE YEAR FOR $1. Hold out, the deal gets better.
