Lets Tutorial

So I know this deal has absolutely nothing to do with teaching... but hey, teachers deserve to get some great shopping deals, right?  And, since today is Black Friday, Im sure this is the exactly whats on everyones mind! (Well, its on my mind at least!)


Obviously everyone knows about Amazon, but do you know that you can easily find the price history of any item on Amazon to tell if youre getting a good deal or not?!


First things first, head to Amazon, and pull up an item that you are interested in.  I pulled up Avery 5160 Labels... my favorite! :)



Copy the link from your address bar (e.g.: http://www.amazon.com/Avery-Address-Labels-Printers-08160/dp/B00004Z5SM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1353641122&sr=8-2&keywords=avery+5160+labels ).  You can copy the link by choosing Edit > Copy, or by doing Control + C on a PC, or Command + C on a Mac.
Next, visit the website http://camelcamelcamel.com .  You can head there by clicking the picture below!


In the top right hand corner, there is a box that says "Enter Amazon URL or keywords to find products." Click in that box and paste in the web address that you just copied.  You can paste the link by choosing Edit > Paste, or by doing Control + V on a PC, or Command + V on a Mac.


Click "Find Products" next to where you pasted the link.  If you scroll down a little bit, youll see a chart that shows the items price history.


If you keep scrolling, youll find a list of the dates when the item was highest priced and lowest priced, as well as the last 5 price changes.  


So... if youre looking to find out if youre getting a good deal on the item you can easily tell!  Right now these labels are pretty reasonably priced... perhaps I need to stock up.

But, wait... I havent even told you the best part yet!  If you create a free account for the website, you can get email alerts when the item drops below a certain price!

Head back to the main website, http://camelcamelcamel.com/ .  Click "Sign Up" (in the top right hand corner, or towards the middle right of the screen.)


Paste back in your item link.  In that big maroon box, it says "Create Amazon price watches for: ...your item..." Right below that, there is a green box that says "Amazon."  In the desired price box, enter your desired price. 


When your item drops below that price, CamelCamelCamel will send you an email alerting you of the new price.  (For those of you worried about junk mail... Ive used this option for a few months and I havent noticed any additional spam from it!)

If you want to check which items you are tracking, you can always click "Your Price Watches" at the top of the page.

I entered in all of the Christmas gifts that I want to get people and set up to be alerting when the item drops within a dollar of its lowest documented price.  Ive already gotten alerts for two of the items... and for my
printer ink!  I am absolutely loving it!

Id love to hear about what items youre loving from Amazon that youre going to enter into the price tracker... and Id love to hear about any Black Friday excursions you went on!!!!

When you are running an Android app which uses the ksoap2 as external library some times you may face this unfortunately stopped error.




To solve this problem what you need to do is
Right click on your project select Properties >> Java Build Path and click Order and Export tab tick the check box before to the ksoap2 imported jar and click OK.


Then the error should be solved. :)
If you are still having the same problem clean the project and delete previously installed app from emulator or device and reinstall.
