Best Memorial Day Weekend Sales

Posted on by
Reply

Despite wet and chilly Memorial Day weekend weather forecasts in some parts of the country, retailers will be displaying their summer goods in full force and with discounted prices.

Memorial Weekend sales at some national retailers started as early as Tuesday, so shoppers may want to shop earlier rather than later, according to Thayer Meicler, co-founder of the free location-based app SaleSorter.

"Whenever there's a big sales weekend, it's always best to be an early bird shopper so you can have dibs on the best items," Meicler said.

Sales for spring and summer items are the most prevalent so far, including warm weather clothing, outdoor accessories and summer-themed home goods, said Meicler.

Some businesses, like Macy's, are offering promotions with proceeds benefiting veterans or deals catered particularly to veterans. The restaurant chain Hooters, for example, is offering 10 free wings to veterans, servicemen and women on Monday.

SaleSorter, available for free in the iPhone App Store with an Android app in the works, helps find favorite stores near you and can notify you of the highest-rated sales.

More than a million sales have been listed in the app since it launched about six months ago, including deals that include everything from electronics, furniture and apparel.

For shoppers looking for a type of apparel item online only, Shop It To Me's latest online feature, "Threads", notifies you if your go-to item goes on sale. Just choose your size and brand or a style, like "black blazer," and you can learn when that item is on sale across a broad range of retail websites.

Meicler and her co-founder and brother, Peter Christodoulo, both Harvard grads, hope to build SaleSorter into the ultimate local shopping resource.

"We strive to build a resource with everything you need on sale," Meicler said. "We'll help you find it, across all categories, prices and stores."

Too often shoppers get inundated with email notifications about sales, which are forgotten when they go to the shopping mall. The department store Nordstrom is currently hosting its half-yearly sale for women and children, which is a popular sale not heavily advertised beforehand.

With the SaleSorter app, users can see the Nordstrom sale has a high rating.

"Or if you add Nordstrom as your 'favorite,' when that sale happens, you'll be notified so you never miss that sale," Meicler said.

Here are some of the best Memorial Day Weekend sales, including suggestions from Meicler:

9 Tips to Finding Cheaper Gas on Memorial Day Weekend

Posted on by
Reply

With Memorial Day weekend fast approaching, the summer driving season is starting to heat up, and more cars on the road means gas prices are expected to go up.

Some analysts wonder whether the high gas prices we were seeing early in the year could mean record highs for 2013.

But the hunt for cheap gas doesn't have to be difficult. Like many things these days, there's an app for that.

GasBuddy.com started out as a website that let users report and view fuel prices in their area to help others find cheap gas locally. It now has an app for both iOS and Android devices.

Gregg Laskoski, an analyst for GasBuddy, said the app can help drivers save money.

"A lot of people don't realize how much of a gap exists just in their local markets," he said. "In Miami ... there was a gap in the lowest priced station and the highest priced station at $1.05 a gallon. In mini-markets, it can be 50, 60, 70 cents per gallon."

Abe Azar is a gas price evangelist and finding cheap gas is his passion. He uses the GasBuddy app to locate the cheapest gas prices near his home in Tampa, Fla., hunting to earn points for entering gas prices -- which he said he does daily.

For a man who puts 30,000 miles a year on his car, Azar said he saves at least $500 a year using GasBuddy.

In an interview with "Nightline," Azar and Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy, offered these money-saving tips to help you at the pump. Watch the full story on "

DeHaan said that prices typically rise during the week, but more so in the second half of the week, from Wednesday to Saturday.

When using the GasBuddy app, Azar said timing matters.

"I have something that was posted two hours ago so that may be pretty reliable," he said. "Something that's 23 hours ago that's probably not."

Azar said which credit card you use to fill your tank matters because it can mean the difference between putting extra savings or extra drain on your balance.

"A lot of the stations will charge a surcharge unless [you] use their particular gas card," he said. "I use a nongasoline company card. So the one I'm using now is Chase Freedom, and I get a 5 percent rebate [on gas], but then I have to find the station that doesn't have the up-charge, otherwise I've lost the benefit of that savings."

In short: If you are paying with a credit card, you can sometimes be slapped with an extra fee at the pump.

Gasoline stations near the highway can be a win if there is more than one major truck or travel stop, DeHaan said, or a loss if there is only one station and it is small in size.

Azar said truck stops are a good indicator to see if the price of gas will go up because they sell copious amounts of gas very quickly.

"Just because they sell so much gas and they are getting in a new load they are going to be paying the most recent price," he said.

Competition will keep prices lower, DeHaan said.

Filling up near state lines will save you money, DeHaan said. States are more competitive because of any difference in taxes. For example, the combined tax in Illinois is nearly $0.61 per gallon, where Missouri is $0.36 per gallon.

Driving those extra couple of miles off the beaten path to fill up at a cheaper station will still cut into any small savings you might have earned to get back on your original route.

"I have to admit I have driven -- if its 15 cents less out -- of the way, just so I can feel like I didn't pay that much for gas," Azar said. "It's not worth it."

Slow down, DeHaan said. If you go 65 mph on the highway instead of 70 or 75 you can save stretch your tank 10 percent, further or more.

Metro moves to modernize fare-collection system

Metro, fast approaching 40, is embarking on a lot of mid­life projects.

The transit agency is spending $5 billion rebuilding the tracks and other vital infrastructure. Millions of dollars are being eyed to redesign the system’s ’70s-era look. And preliminary plans are in the works to build another tunnel under the Potomac River.

Now, Metro is now poised to revamp the way passengers pay their fares. By July, the transit agency is expected to choose a contractor to lead the costly and complicated task of modernizing Metro’s fare-collection system.

Riders would no longer have to covert their money into Metro’s main currency — the $5 electronic SmarTrip card — to ride trains and buses. Instead, they would be able to wave a smart phone, key fob or credit card in front of a scanner as they board a bus or walk through a subway station fare gate.

“If you look at how people are making payments these days with their phones or the cards they already have in their wallet, that’s the way of the future,” said Carol Kissal, Metro’s chief financial officer. “That’s what we want to adopt.”

A lot is riding on the change, officials say. When Metro raises fares or offers a new discount, for example, it may have to spend as much as $1 million to have its fare-collection software reprogrammed by the company that owns the technology and software.

Metro says it wants to have a new system in place within four years. But it is a complicated, expensive undertaking, freighted with risk for a transit agency that in recent years has endured chronic service problems and striking safety failures.

General Manager Richard Sarles said it is now time to make these ­changes because existing fare equipment, like a lot of the system, is worn out. “We’re rebuilding the system and one of the things that our customers interface most with is the fare system,” he said. “Technology has improved, and we should bring that to the customer.”

The new technology is not expected to replace SmarTrip cards, which nearly 90 percent of Metro bus and rail riders use, and riders would still be able to pay with cash. But Metro officials said they expect that as more consumers shift to credit cards with a computer chip and smartphones with similar capability, they will choose a new way to pay their fare.

Plans to upgrade Metro’s fare-payment system come as the transit agency is reaching a critical juncture in its 37-year life. Metro is the second-busiest subway system in the country, with about 750,000 rider trips taken daily on its rail system and 400,000 on its buses. By 2020, the Metrorail system is expected to reach its capacity of nearly 1 million passenger trips a day.

Implementing a new payment system promises to be a test of technology, logistics and timing. It will involve replacing the roughly 2,000 fare gates and 700 vending machines at all 86 stations, even as the transit system continues to collect fares from hundreds of thousands of passengers, many of them all too accustomed to missteps by Metro. Metro’s oversight of technology contracts has been faulted by the transit agency’s inspector general.

Windows Targets iPad With Snarky Ad

ht windows tablets jef 130523 wblog Microsofts Snarky Windows Tablet vs iPad TV Ad

Image credit: Windows

“Should we just play Chopsticks?”

The new Microsoft TV commercial shows a Windows 8 Asus tablet pitted against an Apple iPad in what’s reminiscent of a classic Apple ad, complete with vintage white background.

Microsoft’s tablet is shown demonstrating its Start Screen Live Tiles feature, multi-windowed Snap multitasking, and even Microsoft Office compatibility. All the while, Apple’s voice assistant, Siri, is heard saying that she’s sorry, but she just can’t do any of those things:

“I’m sorry, I don’t update like that.”

“I’m sorry, I can only do one thing at a time… I guess PowerPoint isn’t one of those things.”

After Siri seemingly gives up and opens the GarageBand piano, the ad ends with a rather rough rendition of Chopsticks (a play on Apple’s iPad mini commercial) and a graphic showing the iPad priced at $699 and the Windows 8 Asus tablet at $449, both tablets in 64 GB versions.

Apple did not immediately respond when ABC News reached out for comment on the new ad.

Windows 8 only grabbed 7.5 percent of the tablet market in Q1 of 2013, according to Strategy Analytics. Apple’s iOS was number one (iPad and iPad mini) with a 48.2 percent, and Android tablets accounted for 43.4 percent.

Microsoft seems to be getting comfortable with the attack ad style. Their pro-Outlook.com “Scroogled” campaign has featured a number of different videos aimed at Google’s collection of user information with its Gmail service.

So, what do you think? Can Microsoft make ground in the tablet game with commercials like this latest? Did any of the features shown in the ad catch your eye? Give us your thoughts in the comment section.

5 Food and Exercise Mistakes

Posted on by
Reply

Whether you earn your living working up a sweat, or squeeze in workouts when you can, it's easy to fall prey to eating errors that unintentionally hold you back from getting the most out of your workouts. Here are five common missteps I see, and how to correct them to reap the rewards of your hard work.

Biggest Food and Exercise Mistakes

Despite my recommendations to include good fats at every meal, like avocado, nuts, seeds, and coconut oil, some of my clients remain fat phobic, and will scale back, fearing that fat is "fattening." But the truth is, getting enough fat is a smart strategy for both sports nutrition and weight control, because fat: delays stomach emptying, so you feel fuller longer; increases satiety, to shut off hunger hormones; boosts antioxidant absorption, which in emerging research is related to leanness; and ups metabolic rate, to help you burn more calories.

In fact, fat is one of the most vital nutrients in your diet, because it's a structural part of your cells, which means you can't heal a cell or construct a new one without enough fat to perform these important jobs. Cutting back too much can result in fatigue, chronic hunger, or a lack of satiety, irritability, depression, a weaker immune system, and an increased injury risk. So even if you're trying to reduce your body fat percentage, don't be afraid to add almond butter to a smoothie, top your salad with avocado, and sauté your veggies in extra virgin olive oil. Filling the fat gap can be the key to finally seeing results.

Are You Making These Dieting Mistakes?

Biggest Food and Exercise Mistakes

If you sweat heavily, work out for more than 90 minutes, or exercise in hot, humid conditions, reaching for a sports drink rather than plain water is a smart way to keep hydrated, stay fueled, and replace the electrolytes lost in sweat. But if you're exercising for less than an hour and a half, in a climate-controlled gym, plain water should be fine. The carbs in sports drinks are designed to keep you going when you can't stop to eat, but if your muscles don't need the fuel, just one 20 ounce bottle means consuming a surplus 35 grams of sugar, the amount in about 20 gummy bears. And while unsweetened coconut water is a little lower, an 11-ounce jug still contains 15 grams of potentially unneeded carbs.

25 Fattening Foods You Should Never Eat

Biggest Food and Exercise Mistakes

While it's true that overcompensating for a workout by eating too much can prevent you from shrinking your fat cells, striking the right balance is key. Working out takes a toll on your body, and having the right raw materials to heal and repair the wear and tear is important for seeing results. In other words, it's not just the training itself, but the healing from the training, that mends muscles, boosts metabolism, and makes you more toned and fit. So while a good hard workout isn't a license to sit down to a big plate of pasta, or eat dessert every night, you should be eating something afterwards, with a goal of delivering the nutrients your body needs to properly recover.

The Top Fat-Burning Foods

Biggest Food and Exercise Mistakes

While protein is a key recovery nutrient, it's only one piece of the puzzle. In addition to a lean protein source, like a smart phone-sized portion of fish or chicken or a scoop of lentils, you should aim for plenty of produce (to replenish nutrients and supply antioxidants), a healthy fat source (which also helps muscles heal and optimizes circulation), a small serving of a whole grain, like wild rice or quinoa (to replete glycogen, the carbohydrate stored in muscle tissue, which serves as a primary fuel source during exercise), and of course fluid, preferably good old H2O (to rehydrate).

If you exercise after work, a great post-workout recovery dinner would be a stir-fry made with chicken, shrimp, or organic tofu, along with a variety of colorful veggies, over a small portion of whole grain rice, topped with sliced almonds or black sesame seeds. For a simple aromatic stir-fry sauce, that's not loaded with sugar, whisk together a few tablespoons of brown rice vinegar, with a splash of fresh squeezed citrus juice (like tangerine, or blood orange), and a dash each of fresh grated ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper.

10 High-Protein Breakfast Recipes

Biggest Food and Exercise Mistakes

For my pro athlete clients, I highly recommend eating something like an all natural bar or shake within 30 minutes of the end of a game or a tough training session whenever possible, because starting the recovery process within a half hour has been shown to help maximize healing. But employing this strategy if you're not a pro can wind up working against you.

For example, if you munch on a bar or grab a smoothie on the way out of the gym, then go home and eat dinner, you may be in recovery overkill. While it might not register as a meal, a bar with 30 grams of carbohydrate, 5 grams of fat, and 10 grams of protein is like eating a small turkey sandwich with mayo. And a smoothie can be the equivalent of three to four handfuls of fruit, plus a container of yogurt.

Downing these "snacks" just an hour or so before eating a regular dinner, can mean giving your body far more than it needs for recovery, which results in feeding your fat cells, rather than shrinking them. If you're going to be eating a meal with an hour of leaving the gym, skip the bar and shake. And if it's going to be a little longer, munch on something like almonds, which supply some protein, good fat and nutrients, to tie you over.

J.Lo Gets Into Wireless Business

Posted on by

"Jenny from the Block" wants the block to buy Verizon phones from her.

Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez on Wednesday announced she's opening a chain of 15 cellphone stores and a website under the Viva Movil brand. The aim is to sell Verizon phones and services to Latinos.

The first store will open in New York on June 15, with others following in Los Angeles and Miami. The stores will have bilingual staff and provide a "culturally relevant shopping experience," Viva Movil said.

Viva Movil will be an authorized Verizon reseller, with the same prices and plans as regular Verizon stores.

Lopez is the majority owner and "chief creative officer" of Viva Movil. She said Viva Movil and its Facebook page will be a way for fans to connect with her.

"Latinos need a place to go and they need to be catered to because it is such a growing, growing demographic and market and people want to capture that, and they deserve to be catered to," Lopez said in an interview.

Lopez is no stranger to business. She owns a film and television production company and has launched clothing and perfume lines.

She said she wasn't looking specifically to get into wireless — "it was just one of those things where you sit down with people and you start spitballing."

Marketing cellphone service specifically to Latinos has not been a winning formula so far in the U.S. One company targeting Spanish speakers, Movida Communications, raised $40 million in 2007 and filed for bankruptcy the following year.

Most attempts to cater to Latinos have focused on low-cost, no-contract service. By partnering with Verizon, Lopez is hitching her business to a company that's focused on premium, contract-based service, backed by a top-rated wireless network.

The U.S. wireless market does have a large but low-profile Latin American presence: Mexican cellphone company America Movil owns Tracfone, the largest provider of no-contract service, with 23 million phones active. That service isn't marketed specifically to Latinos.

Creator tells us how to pronounce ‘GIF’

Steve Wilhite, left, receives a Webby Award from Tumblr's David Karp for his invention of the animated GIF format.
Steve Wilhite, left, receives a Webby Award from Tumblr's David Karp for his invention of the animated GIF format.
  • GIF creator: It's pronounced "JIF"
  • Steve Wilhite created the Graphics Interchange Format in 1987 at Compuserve
  • He pronounced the issue closed at the Webby Awards
  • And yet, some partisans remain unswayed

(CNN) -- We can't settle iPhone vs. Android or for you. But another long-running geek debate was put to rest Tuesday night.

Those short, animated loops that have captivated the Web for decades? They're pronounced like a brand of peanut butter.

Steve Wilhite created the Graphics Interchange Format, or GIF, while working for Compuserve in 1987. On Tuesday, he received a Webby Award for it and delivered his five-word acceptance speech (that's all the Webbys allow) by flashing a GIF on the big screens at the Cipriani Wall Street in New York.

And, in a flash, it all became clear:

"It's pronounced JIF, not GIF."

Of course, in the grand tradition of heated debate, a flat statement of fact by the creator wasn't enough to sway some partisans. On Twitter, "GIF" became a trending topic as some folks pushed back.

"Graphics Interchange Format. Graphics. Not Jraphics. #GIF #hardg," wrote Web designer Dan Cederholm.

"So instead of GIF, we've got to say JIF? YEAH RIGHT," chimed in October Jones, creator of the "Texts From Dog" Tumblr and book. "And I suppose those animals with long necks are called 'JIRAFFES.'"

And, of course, the peanut butter brand was getting lots of free publicity along the way. The always amusing HAL 9000 account (yes, somebody tweets as the robot from "2001") posted an "animated JIF" -- which is to say, a swirling, animated jar of the tasty, high-protein spread.

(As of Wednesday morning, Jif had not weighed in on the debate on its official Twitter feed. It did, however, post a tasty-looking recipe for Grilled Salmon With Hoisin Peanut Butter Sauce.)

Animated GIFs were a staple of the early Internet. Remember The Dancing Baby? That's a GIF.

They fell out of favor as more advanced graphics technology emerged. But in the past couple of years, the Web has remembered how much fun it is to watch ridiculous things happen over and over again.

Appropriately, Wilhite received his Lifetime Achievement Award from David Karp, the founder of Tumblr, one prominent place where GIFs found a new fanbase.

In less publicized interviews, Wilhite had argued for the soft-G pronunciation for years. So, will a widely covered "speech" in front of some of the Web's most influential folks finally be the turning point?

Maybe not.

Last month, no less an authority than the White House posted an image on its new Tumblr feed advocating for the hard-G. And the Oxford English Dictionary says both pronunciations are acceptable.

So, here's wishing Mr. Wilhite "Jood Luck."

Joplin Survivor to Okla.: ‘Be Strong’

Posted on by
Reply

Crystal Whitley lay in a hospital bed not knowing the whereabouts of two of her three children, Shante, 10, and Trentan, 6, both of whom were torn out of her arms by the fierce tornado that demolished her Joplin, Mo., home in 2011.

"She got them all in the bathtub and was holding them down, but the tornado was so strong," said her mother, Aleta Whitley. "She had to hold on to three kids. Crystal was so upset. She couldn't find Shante and she couldn't find Trentan. She never did see the kids again."

Aleta Whitley, who doted on her grandchildren twice a week, knows first hand how the families in Moore, Okla., are reeling from the horror of a tornado today, a force of nature that can quite literally rip a baby from its mother's arms.

MORE on the Oklahoma Tornado

"It's been a rough two years," said Whitley, 55, sobbing sporadically throughout the interview with ABCNews.com. "It's not something you get over."

In Moore earlier today, parents stood outside a local church, listening carefully to hear whether their children were on a list of survivors of the two-mile wide tornado that tore through this suburban town, killing at least 24, including nine children.

READ: Children Among Victims of Oklahoma Tornado

For many the news was happy as they reunited with children who had been at school when the storm hit Monday, but for others, fear escalated.

Briarwood and Plaza Towers elementary schools were in the direct path of Monday's tornado, which the National Weather Service gave a preliminary rating of at least EF-4, meaning churning wind speeds of up to 200 mph.

Oklahoma City police spokesman Sgt. Gary Knight said seven of the young victims were from Plaza Towers Elementary School.

Moore Mayor Glenn Lewis and National Guard members told ABC News the search-and-rescue operation at the school is now a body-recovery effort.

"You have to try to be strong," said Whitely, offering advice to those who have lost loved ones in Moore. "We went to counseling and it really helped.

"Some people say it gets easier when people lose a child, but it never gets easier," she said. "It never goes away. You have to just learn to live with it."

In an eery coincidence, the two-year anniversary of the Joplin tornado -- the deadliest in U.S. history since the 1947 Texas-Oklahoma tornado -- is May 22. An EF5 multiple-vortex tornado, it was the third to strike the town since 1971, killing a staggering 158, 13 of them children, and injuring 1,110.

SEE: Search for Survivors in Joplin Tornado

Crystal Whitley, who had recently divorced, was clinging to her three children in the bathroom when the tornado hit her Joplin neighborhood. The children's father had called to warn them of the approaching storm.

She learned later that Shante, who was found under a door, had died instantly. Trentan, 6, managed to survive but was "beaten up badly," said Aleta Whitley, works for a boat manufacturing company.

Trentan was taken to Childrens Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., where family members eventually decided to take him off life support. Only her youngest daughter, Keana, now 6, survived.

A good Samaritan whose name the family never learned found Crystal Whitley and Keana and helped get them to separate hospitals. Power was out and only texts worked on the cell phones.

Crystal Whitely finally got through to her mother on an old cell phone number, something Aleta Whitely said was as "an act of God."

"They thought Crystal's neck was broken and she was in traction, but six hours later a nurse let her use the phone and she actually got through to me," her mother said. "The first thing Crystal asked me was where are Shante and Trentan? I had to tell her Shante had died and Trentan was somewhere and we didn't know the details."

Aleta Whitely said that it seemed like "hundreds of miles" she and the children's father walked to see if the family had survived.
