Razer Marauder StarCraft II Gaming Keyboard - Woot
Caught
Boss, those I.T. logs HAVE to be wrong. You know I?d never play video games at work.
Look, there?s got to be some misunderstanding here. I?m just using the Razer Marauder StarCraft II Gaming Keyboard to increase my productivity! See, it?s set up with an optimal key travel distance that really helps me fly when fighting Zer- I mean, fighting zer-o tolerance with regards to not getting my reports finished on time. And then I can create keystroke macros on-the-fly? by which I mean, boy, is it easier to fill out a spreadsheet with this baby! Plus I can save ten different profiles, and that?s cool.
Why is it cool? Um, well, sometimes Larry in Marketing likes to show me? his presentations. You know, second set of eyes and all that? And he?s got this thing where he likes the buttons in a different way. Probably because he grew up in England. No, no, don?t ask him about growing up in England, he?s very shy about it and would probably just lie and say he was born in Maine. Say, have you ever been to Maine? No? I hear it?s lovely this time of year. All the lovely autumn colors. Which, by the way, is what those flashing colors on the Razer Marauder StarCraft II Gaming Keyboard are all about. It?s certainly not some kind of customizable in-game code that lets me keep track of events, no no no. It?s just my way of recreating nature?s beauty to keep my productivity high. Tell me, what season do you like better, autumn or spring? I?d probably have to say spring but I?m really curious what you?d say, and why you?d say it! Go on, expound on it for me, I don?t mind.
Changing the subject? I?d never do that! Incidentally, are we near the end of this meeting? Because I?m kinda of worried that my base- I mean, my half-finished email to the shareholders is going to need my attention in a few seconds. Yeah, it?s a time-sensitive thing, you know. Assigned by the big boss, he probably forgot to tell you. No need to bother him, really, I can just finish up myself. So, is it cool if I head back to my Razer Marauder StarCraft II Gaming Keyboard? I?m really eager to defeat- I mean, complete my project so I can get on to more work! Super productive, that?s me!

First Person: I Lowered My Homeowners Insurance Rates by $350 (ContributorNetwork)
*Note: This was written by a Yahoo! contributor. Do you have a personal finance story that you'd like to share? Sign up with the Yahoo! Contributor Network to start publishing your own finance articles.
When my homeowners insurance policy arrived in the mail last month, I did something I normally don't do. Instead of throwing it in the filing cabinet with all the rest of our important household documents, I took the time to read the policy.
When was the last time you reviewed your policy? If it's been a few years, then you might be paying for more insurance than you actually need. Here's some of the changes I made to my insurance policy which dropped my rates by $350 a year.
Adjusted the value of the home.
The last time I updated my policy was at the peak of the housing boom in early 2006 when my home was worth about $480K. Since then, my home has dropped nearly 35% in value. My agent reduced the replacement value on our home to its current value which lowered our premium by a few hundred dollars.
Increased the deductible.
Another change I made to our homeowners policy was increasing the deductible from $500 to $1,000. This also dropped our premium costs.
Updated the floaters.
Most insurance policies provide basic coverage for the contents of your home. To add extra coverage for art work, high end computers, and other items not normally covered, your agent may suggest a floater, a special kind of insurance for the specific item that you want to insure. After reviewing my policy, I discovered that we still had insurance floaters on two of our old computers and some photography equipment which were no longer worth their original value. These floaters were cancelled for additional savings.
Reviewed home improvements.
In a historical house like ours, old wiring, old plumbing, crumbling chimneys, and old furnace systems often means higher insurance premiums. After finishing the last of the structural upgrades this year, I let my agent know that the house was finally up to code which dropped the rates on our policy even more.
These are just four of the ways in which I lowered our yearly homeowners insurance premium merely by calling up my agent and asking about ways to lower the cost. When a family is on a tight budget like ours, it really doesn't make sense to pay more for insurance than we really need.

SC primary up for grabs, Gingrich making big play (AP)
NEWBERRY, S.C. ? For three decades, the Republican who won South Carolina's presidential primary has also won the GOP nomination.
That record helps explain why Newt Gingrich, a self-described lover of history, is working more aggressively than any of his competitors to organize activists and volunteers ahead of the Jan. 21 primary, essentially pinning his candidacy on a state filled with Christian conservatives.
His chief rival, Mitt Romney, is approaching South Carolina tentatively. He invested huge sums in the state in the 2008 presidential race only to bail just days before the vote when it became clear he would lose big to Arizona Sen. John McCain. Many voters couldn't overlook their skepticism of Romney's Mormon faith and his reversals on some cultural issues.
The others in the 2012 race are treating South Carolina as an afterthought while they bank their candidacies on one of the two states that vote first, Iowa and New Hampshire.
Enter Gingrich, who's enjoying a burst of momentum after a summer campaign meltdown.
"I do believe South Carolina will be the decisive primary," the former House speaker from Georgia told Republicans who packed a theater in Newberry last week. "If we win here, I believe I will be the nominee."
But victory in the state won't come easy for the thrice-married Gingrich.
He has acknowledged having an extramarital affair, an issue that may turn off Christian conservatives who hold great sway in South Carolina. Gingrich, a recent convert to Catholicism, frequently makes a point of talking about his close partnership with third wife Callista.
He has advocated a "humane" approach to immigration that would let longtime residents work toward citizenship. Critics have labeled that as "amnesty" for millions of foreigners who are illegally in the United States, and that's another potent issue in the state.
Winning in South Carolina would be even more difficult if he were to come in with a 0-2 record, losing in both Iowa and New Hampshire.
Perhaps for all those reasons, if not in spite of them, Gingrich is building the largest presidential organization in the state. He's sinking more into South Carolina than he has in any other early voting state as he seeks to capitalize on his rebound after a troubled campaign start when virtually his entire staff quit.
He has opened five offices and hired nine people, the most of any of the Republicans.
In early nominating states like South Carolina, Gingrich's campaign was meeting with former aides and advisers to Herman Cain, who dropped out of the GOP race Saturday. While Cain's endorsement remains up for grabs, Gingrich and his rivals were looking to schedule one-on-one meetings this week with the former pizza executive.
South Carolina voters are starting to notice Gingrich, and at least some like what they see.
Virginia Coker of Hartsville attended a town hall-style meeting Wednesday night at the Newberry Opera House that doubled as a fundraiser for the state party. She was hardly a fan before Gingrich took the stage and answered more than a dozen questions from the party faithful. She left a convert.
"He's going to be the nominee," Coker predicted.
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor in his second presidential bid, is working quietly to build an organization in the state. He hasn't visited much and has only three paid workers in South Carolina. But Romney has done the groundwork for a campaign that could quickly be up and running if he chooses to compete in the state. Unlike Gingrich, Romney has millions in the bank to start airing television ads that could affect the race.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas are the only candidates who have aired television ads in the state, though that was expected to change in the coming weeks.
GOP activists have yet to fall in line behind a single candidate, giving hope to candidates languishing at the back of the pack, such as Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
Bachmann has a lean operation and is keeping much of her focus on Iowa. She could tap into a network of evangelical Christians, if she performs well in Iowa first.
To some, Santorum appears to be the candidate most likely to engineer a surprise.
"Crisis pregnancy centers are strongly behind Senator Santorum," said Karen Floyd, a former South Carolina GOP chairwoman, noting this powerful and wide network of anti-abortion voters who show up on Election Day.
Alexia Newman, who runs a Spartanburg pregnancy center, has been rounding up Santorum support for months because of his strong conservative positions on social issues, even though the economy is taking center stage in the race.
"There's really only one or two candidates really bringing up the debate," Newman said.
Still, the hurdles are high for those candidates.
Consider that conservative Christians who talk kindly of Santorum also finish their sentences with doubt about his ability to capture the nomination.
"There's probably as much of a chance of the Rapture happening by election time as there is for Rick to win the nomination," said Harry Kibler an activist who runs RINO Hunt, a group that criticizes "Republicans in Name Only."
As for Gingrich, the next two months will tell whether he can overcome his hurdles ? and make history himself.

TUF 14 weigh-in: Bisping misses weight then curses at MMA fans
If Michael Bisping didn't have the majority of the Las Vegas crowd rooting against him tonight, he does now. He sealed his fate yesterday by snapping at the fans gathered at the Palms during the Season 14 "The Ultimate Fighter" Finale weigh-in.
Bisping missed weight by .25 pounds, argued with officials and then told off the crowd (5:21 mark) when UFC analyst Joe Rogan asked for the fans to give him a little love:
"I could give a [expletive] about [expletive] getting love," Bisping said. "All I care about is smashing this [expletive] head in. [Expletive] you all."
Bisping and Miller face off in the five-round main event of TUF 14. Diego Brandao and Dennis Bermudez both made weight at featheweight. True flyweight John Dodson had no issues at bantamweight and T.J. Dillashaw was right on the money as well.

Chevy Volt: Worried about fire? Sell it back.
Chevy Volt battery fires in lab tests may have some owners spooked. So GM offers to buy back any Chevy Volt.
Afraid your new Chevrolet?Volt?will catch on fire? General Motors will go as far as to buy it back from you.
Skip to next paragraphAs safety investigations continue on the electric car, which caught fire following test crashes, GM Chief Executive Dan Akerson said the automaker would repurchase?Volts?from any concerned consumers.
The assurance marked an escalation of the company's response to the post-crash reports. Earlier this week, GM offered to loan free vehicles to Chevy Volt?owners until the safety concerns were resolved.
"While the investigation is going on, we will do whatever it takes to allay concerns and keep our customers happy," said GM spokesman Greg Martin, "and if that includes repurchase, we will work individually with any customer."
Martin said that once GM's engineering team and federal safety officials figure out the cause of the fires, which occurred one to three weeks after the crash tests, the company would, if necessary, recall and retrofit everyVolt?that has been sold.
GM has sold about 6,000?Volts, Martin said. So far, about 30 owners have taken the company up on its loaner offer. Martin said details of how a repurchase plan would work had not been determined.
Auto analyst Jessica Caldwell of Edmunds.com said the company was fortunate, in the context of the repurchase, that only a small number of cars had been sold.
"GM is only dealing with a few thousand cars," Caldwell said. "It's much more manageable than a widespread car, like a (Toyota) Camry or Honda Accord, which would be logistically very tough and financially very complicated to do something like a repurchase."
GM said there had been no reports from consumers of fires. "The?Volt's?a safe car," Martin said. "These concerns are based on three incidents up to three weeks after a severe test crash."
John O'Dell, senior editor at Edmunds.com, said he didn't think the company would have to buy back manyVolts, which travel on battery power for 40 miles before a gasoline engine begins to act as a generator, extending the range an additional 300 miles.
"It's an offer you can make when you don't expect many people to take you up on it," O'Dell said. "Most of these cars have been sold to the early-adopter customers.
"They are the least likely people to complain about the car because they want this kind of technology; they've been waiting for it."
