id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> The AfterShokz Air have finally dipped below $100, only the second time that's happened. Sarah Tew/CNET I like to listen to music or podcasts when I run or bike, but wearing traditional sport headphones poses a problem: The earbuds block outside noise, making it hard to hear cars, bikes and other potential hazards. So how can I enjoy my audio while still maintaining "situational awareness"? Answer: Bone-conduction headphones, which sit in front of your ears instead of over or in them and produce sound by way of your cheekbones. (True story.) AfterShokz pretty much owns this product category, and with good reason: The headphones work well and get a little better with every iteration. But they're pricey, and sales are rare. CNET Cheapskate Get all the latest deals delivered to your inbox. It's FREE! For a limited time, however, and while supplies last, nearly all the AfterShokz bone-conduction headphones are on sale, starting with the [ ] (which ties the all-time low price). You can also get the [ ], only the second time the price has been that low. Finally, the [ ], the lowest price on record for that model. [ AfterShokz Titanium] [ $60 at Amazon] [ ] [ AfterShokz Air] [ $96 at Amazon] [ ] [ AfterShokz Aeropex] [ $128 at Amazon] [ ] The Titanium, Air and Aeropex could be described as the good, better and best versions of the product. Over the years they've gotten a little slimmer, a little lighter and a little better-sounding. (Read David Carnoy's [/news/aftershokz-aeropex-new-bone-conduction-sports-headphone-is-best-sounding-yet/ AfterShokz Aeropex review] to learn more.) Needless to say, you shouldn't expect audio quality that's on par with traditional in-ear sport 'phones, but it's pretty good -- and good enough for activities like running and cycling, where studio-quality sound isn't a priority. I've been an AfterShokz user (and fan) for years, starting with the Titanium and working my way through the subsequent two models. I don't often write about them because, as noted, they're pricey and rarely go on sale. So I'm happy to share these deals today. Meanwhile, my wife and brother-in-law both started using AfterShokz for the first time just recently, and they both love them. His unsolicited comment to me just a few days ago: "[These are the] best thing that ever happened to me -- after marriage and kids, of course." Thinking about one of these as a Father's Day gift? Amazon appears to be back to one-day delivery, at least in my neck of the woods; your mileage may vary. So if you order today, they might just arrive tomorrow or Sunday. Put your money where your butt is with this $35 bidet Luxe Me, before the pandemic: Use a bidet? Yuck, no way. Me, having used a bidet daily the last two months: Use toilet paper? Yuck, no way. Yeah, I'm a convert. After about a week, what seemed weird and gross became normal and preferable. And while you can easily spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy bidet with heated everything, blow-dry fans and all that, you can also spend almost nothing: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Best Buy has the [ ]. That's $25 off the regular price and [https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/dipika-pallikal-karthik-squash.html inborncricketer.blogspot.com] one of the better bidet deals I've seen. [ ] This is a simple, straightforward cold-water attachment, one designed to install under your existing seat. It has just two dials, one for pressure and one for nozzle cleaning. There's no electricity required. I haven't used this exact model, but I've used one that's similar. Like I said: weird at first, but you get used to it and then come to prefer it. The cold jet is nowhere near as bad as you'd think; rather, it's kind of refreshing. Nearly 150 buyers collectively rated this 4.7 stars out of 5, so it's a good bet your bum will like this. And it'll more than pay for itself with the money you save on TP. At this price, why not give it a try?

Finisher Or Not Dhoni Proves Glovework Remains Rust-free

By Amlan Chakraborty NEW DELHI, May 2 (Reuters) - Debate continues whether time has eroded Mahendra Singh Dhoni's ability as a 'finisher' but the two lightning fast stumpings he effected in Wednesday's Indian Premier League match against Delhi Capitals prove at least his glovework remains rust-free. While Dhoni scored 44 not out from 22 balls in the 80-run victory, it was the two stumpings he pulled off in the same Ravindra Jadeja over to send back Chris Morris and [https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/dipika-pallikal-karthik-squash.html https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/dipika-pallikal-karthik-squash.html] Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer that were as crucial. On both occasions, the back feet of both batsmen had barely risen from the ground when Dhoni knocked off the bails. The former India captain attributed his speed to his unconventional technique, marked by a conspicuous lack of hand movement when collecting the ball. "It's something that has come from tennis-ball cricket which I've played a lot," Dhoni said. "But you need to do the basics right first and then graduate to the next level. I feel if you want to keep like that, then this is what you practise. "You may commit a lot of errors so what's important is you stick to the basics and then get to the advanced course. If you can reduce the time where you can clip the bails off, it always helps." Chennai spinners claimed eight of the 10 Delhi wickets in the match with Dhoni involved in three dismissals, including a catch. Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori believes spinners are a greater threat with someone as assured as Dhoni behind the stumps. "It's not a traditional way of keeping but it's the best way," Vettori, a left-arm spinner himself, told Cricinfo website website of Dhoni's glovework. "He's phenomenal behind the stumps." Dhoni, who walked away with the man-of-the-match award, is India's preferred wicketkeeper in this year's World Cup with Dinesh Karthik as the back-up. (Editing by Greg Stutchbury)

New Zealand Bat Against India In First World Cup Semi-final

By Amlan Chakraborty MANCHESTER, [https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/dipika-pallikal-karthik-squash.html https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/dipika-pallikal-karthik-squash.html] England, July 9 (Reuters) - New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat against India in the first Cricket World Cup semi-final under overcast skies at Old Trafford on Tuesday. The 2015 finalists made a change, bringing in a fit-again Lockie Ferguson, their leading wicket-taker in the tournament, and leaving out fellow quick bowler Tim Southee. "It looks like a good surface," New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said. "Always a toss up with the overheads but I´m not sure this is around all day so we need to do the job first up. "We have a great opportunity today against a great side in India and we´ll be looking for an improved performance, as we do in all our matches." Twice champions India also made a change to the side that beat Sri Lanka in their final group match, bringing in Yuzvendra Chahal in place of fellow wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav. "We would have batted first, it's a good surface, nice and hard, it´s not moist or anything," India skipper Virat Kohli said. "We´ve played really good cricket in Manchester, two really good game, it´s just about doing the same things again." India and New Zealand are playing each other for the first time in this year's tournament after the group match between the sides in Nottingham was washed out. Tuesday's game is a repeat of the semi-final of the 2008 Under-19 World Cup in which a Kohli-led India defeated a Williamson-captained New Zealand in Kuala Lumpur. Hosts England play defending champions Australia in the second semi-final on Thursday. Teams: India: KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(captain), Rishabh Pant, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson (captain), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (wicketkeeper), James Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Trent Boult.
