To the writer: While I am a 21-year-old user of Facebook, I keep it to mainly those I know in real life and a few friends I met online that I have known for at least 3 years on a movie site. But that does NOT mean I'm eager to visit them in person, or hold them high above the flesh and blood friends. I have a cell phone too, but I only use it to call family and infrequently text to just a few friends, and not while others are talking. And if I have been supposedly 'corrupted' by Facebook, gadgets and violent movies, then why have I always been considered helpful around the house by my parents, even as a teenager, assisting with supper, laundry, chores and other tasks without being asked? I'm not losing fresh air either, as I walk almost everywhere I go. While I understand the frustration with your own children, and I am not a typical young man myself, I ask that you please refrain from making comments that may lead to your readers generalizing young people as a whole, as being rude and inconsiderate.

For future reference, when your kid asks for a videogame, just check it here first: http://www.esrb.org/index-js.jsp Videogames are like movies now. Not all, or indeed many, are directed at kids anymore, so make sure to check it out before handing money over. Very responsible of you not to buy it. I've seen a lot of parents picking up very violent, foul language filled games for their 10 year olds. If you wouldn't send them to a mature movie, don't buy them a mature game.

The dumbing down of humanity as begun and is in full swing. There is a whole generation that will not know how to communicate verbally. They will not know how to write a sentence or read a book. Their whole lives have become meaningless drivle popping up on a screen every two seconds. You cannot talk to most young people now without having them staring down at a screen. I just walk away when they do that. At a restaurant New Years Eve I saw a young couple sitting across from us and the whole dinner they were both heads into their cell phone texting or doing some other meaningless task. Maybe they were talking to each other via text? What a beautiful romantic dinner on New Years?? Then there was the young guy in the truck on Boxing Day, who came around the turn crossing over the yellow line nearly running me off the road. He was staring down at what I assume was a bloody cell phone, texting. As these people get older they will realize how insignificant this drivle is in their real lives but it will be to late as they will be so stupid and lost they will not know how to communicate or socialize. What a shame as the human race could have been so much more.

Don't be foolish. As has always been, smart parents will teach their children to use smart gadgets smartly. And what is all this about you saying that these gagets are "evil?" That's essentially what the tone of your comment is; it's quite similar to the older generations thinking video games were evil; before that it was Rock 'n' Roll, etc. You do realize that your agitation with the new generation is in no way original and falls quite easily into the same boring ney-saying category, right? I mean come on, there's nothing even alol that threatening about these devices. With Rock 'n' Roll and videogames there was at least explicit "devil" content that hypothetically could drive people to go nuts and kill and all that. But you're making it sound like our gagets are going to ruin our lives and bring down the human race and bla bla bla. Save the fact that texting can lead to accidents and should be policed strongly and recognized as a danger, you really have no argument and I'm embaressed to have to realize that someone could hold such a superficial and unoriginal viewpoint in this province without any substantial justification. In other word's: For God's sake man, it's just a mini-computer. The devices we have allow us to communicate in exciting new ways. If anything, they keep us close when we are apart. They do not hinder our ability to communicate orally (if we don't let them), and if anything they help correct our ability to communicate more efficiently. I believe you are truly ignorant to the miracle of these miniture devices, and I suggest you do more research before stupidly denounce a technology with so much potential to help us learn and grow. It's not surprising that the ignorant neysayers are always the ones denouncing things. If you want to say that the "dumbing down of humanity has begun," you might what to take a few steps back and consider how you are rejecting a device which holds a wealth of information and potential to communicate that information quickly and make the world operate the way it does. You also might want to save your time commneting on things like this in the future, because the world is clearly spinning as a result of technology, and you are part of the world. It's happening with or without your consent so you best get used to it.

If you're wondering why Twins manager Ron Gardenhire journeyed out to the Minnesota bullpen in the middle of the fourth inning, it was to check on reliever Jose Miljares. The left-hander was feeling ill and the Twins just announced he was taken to a local hospital.

Venus Williams exits Wimbledon after 3-set battle
|Venus Williams of U.S. plays a return to Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic during their women's singles match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon, London, Friday, June 27, 2014. (AP Photo/Sang Tan)
LONDON (AP) — For 2 hours, Venus Williams traded big serves and hard groundstrokes with Petra Kvitova on Centre Court. Williams was playing with some of the power and pace that had brought her five Wimbledon titles. But when it was over, she was left with a sense of disappointment.
"The battle is always a little more enjoyable when you win," Williams said Friday after coming within two points of victory but losing 5-7, 7-6 (2), 7-5 to Kvitova, the 2011 champion.
All four of their previous meetings went to three sets and this one was no different, with plenty of suspense, intensity, and only a few break points.
Williams looked stronger early in the match and was up 5-4, 15-30 on Kvitova's serve, in the second set. But the Czech came up with some big serves, held and won the second set tiebreaker.
The players then held serve for the first 11 games of the third set before Kvitova broke No. 30 Williams for the first time in the last game.
"It's a shame there had to be a loser in this match and more of a shame that it had to be me," Williams said.
Despite the loss, Williams had reasons to feel positive about her week in London.
At the age of 34, she has been playing well this season, winning a title in Dubai and reaching the final in Auckland and Miami. This week, she got to the third round at a Grand Slam tournament for only the second time in her past 10 appearances. After her battle with Kvitova, she reiterated that retirement is not in her plans.
More than that, Williams still believes in her ability to add to her total of seven Grand Slams.
"People have been trying to retire me since I was like 25. For some reason in tennis we always do that to our players. It's weird," said Williams, who disclosed three years ago that she was diagnosed with an energy-sapping autoimmune disease.
"We don't encourage them to stick around," she added. "It's like, `Get out of here.' So I'm not getting out of here. I think this year has been a great year for me. I've had some tough losses, but I've learned a lot from them. I'm finding my way back on my feet. I'm proud of myself for what I'm achieving on the court."
The former No. 1 is next scheduled to play in Cincinnati and Montreal. She said she might add more tournaments to her summer schedule to keep improving her game.
"So that way I'll just have a chance, when it's really time to play good tennis, I would have had those matches under my belt," she said.

In 2011, after more than 20 years of intense gigging and recording, Chris Robinson set off to shape something new, a fresh rock mythology, a breathing kaleidoscopic thing stuffed with chooglin' soul, bedrock boogie and shuffling wisdom birthed in intimate clubs and amongst the tall trees of the Golden State and eventually taken nationwide as the Chris Robinson Brotherhood evolved. What began as an experiment without expectations turned into a 118-show journey for Robinson (lead vocals, guitar), Neal Casal (guitar, vocals), Adam MacDougall (keys, vocals), George Sluppick (drums) and Mark Dutton (bass, vocals) that surprised these seasoned pros as music of unshakeable solidity and exuberant reach poured out of them, a New Cosmic California sound with tendrils reaching to the original Fillmore West, Topanga Canyon and outwards towards far horizons that finds its fruition on the CRB's studio debut Big Moon Ritual (arriving in June), to be followed by companion album The Magic Door (September).

Siri Clones and Fake Apps Appearing on the Android Market
Although there are numerous Siri clones on the Android Market, one particular fake "Official" app is asking for unusual permissions.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Many trademark, patent and IP holders may disagree, but even Nintendo is reportedly taking cues from Apple's trend-setting App Store design and creating its own version for the Wii U. Smartphones in general seemingly borrow from iOS whereas PC and gadget manufacturers are scrambling to perfect and produce a tablet to rival Apple's own iPad line.
Even more, Apple's current Big Thing, Siri, produced imitations as soon as the company launched its new iPhone 4S back in October. Several have actually been rather fun to use, but The Next Web is currently pointing to one specific "clone" that purposely tricks users into thinking it's a real product. Called "Siri for Android," it's published by developer Official App and on the surface looks legit, yet instead only serves as a shortcut to Google's own built-in Voice Actions.
"You've got to understand what your Android already has and have a sense of humor to understand what this is. Its obviously a sarcastic parody," writes one user on the Android Market. And while the app may indeed be a sarcastic parody -- the app description actually claims it's a Siri icon that opens "Google's Voice Actions" app -- the cause for concern stems from the app's actual permissions: access to your location, full internet access, access to your personal information, and the ability to modify/delete USB storage and SD card contents.
For experienced users, this "official" Siri app for Android is clearly bogus. But for inexperienced users such as teens who received an Android device for Christmas, they may not know the difference. Unfortunately, Google is nowhere near as strict as Apple, and seemingly lets anything post to the Android Market unchecked within minutes. That said, it's unknown at this point if the developer has side-loaded malware into the fake Siri app, using Apple's popular brand name to ensure thousands of installs.
Presently the Android Market plays host to numerous apps that mimic and mock Apple's Siri. Skyvi is currently the most popular, landing a 4.5 out of 5 via 19,205 votes. Vlingo Virtual Assistant sits in the second position, followed by one of our favorites Iris, Andy, and Speaktoit Assistant. Fake Siri for Android comes in a variety of languages, and there's also Alice and Pocket Blonde 2. There's even an app called Siri Says Silly Stuff that has nothing to do with voice recognition software whatsoever.
As always, Android device owners should keep an eye on permissions required by apps, especially those that really have no business sorting through your contacts, reading your text messages or trolling through the SD card. Also reading user feedback is a good way to determine if an app is a real tool, or a possible tool for hackers.
Create a new thread in the Streaming Video & TVs forum about this subject
0halcyon , December 30, 2011 6:15 PMThe idea of a Siri-type application is neat. While I'm no longer an iPhone user I do appreciate Siri's fun/usefullness and look forward to something for Android that is just as, if not more, capable/useful/accurate/fun.
-1gregor , December 30, 2011 6:18 PMDoesnt vlingo predate siri, at least as an app? and if so how does it *mimic* siri??
-1zulutech , December 30, 2011 7:13 PMThe new iris is just as good as siri.
1JOSHSKORN , December 30, 2011 7:32 PMI hope Android comes right back with something more useful and not as "fun". I haven't heard much about Siri since it launched and everyone was asking it stupid questions over the first couple weeks.
-2stratplaya , December 30, 2011 8:18 PMSiri is the reason I chose the iphone over WM 7. The latter has the better interface but the former is just so damn cool and useful.
3wanton7777 , December 30, 2011 8:46 PMapparently google's taken it down already
0wanton7777 , December 30, 2011 8:47 PMapparently google's taken it down already
1Anonymous , December 30, 2011 9:06 PMHmm I shall take a 2nd look of Vlingo pre-loaded in my Nokia. But the full pronounciation of incoming contacts are already quite useful for a sub-$100 device. Technology, go figure. I put Vlingo away as a "cool" app but not "useful" maybe I was wrong.
If Google Voice Actions actually pre-dates Apple Siri, then it can be said Apple shamelessly copied the concept of nature-speaking with noise cancelling the way Jobs did copy Xerox Parc for Mac System. They just packaged the whole thing better, and that is what I think a successful company should do anyway.
3Anonymous , December 30, 2011 9:31 PM@zulutech
Just tried Iris again and I must say, it has improved a lot.
3p4nz3rm4d , December 31, 2011 9:15 AMSiri was actually first distributed on Cydia(the jailbroken app market), which was later purchased by Apple...
0eddieroolz , January 2, 2012 7:27 PMGoogle won't do anything about it. What do you expect, it's Google/Android.
0Anonymous , March 1, 2012 3:36 AMSomeone clearly doesn't know much about android OS.......odd thing here is that android had voice command recognition since android 2.0... years before siri even came out on Iphone. So I guess imitation is the best form of flattery. It's really hard to take these types of articles seriously when the writer doesn't have a clue about what he is writing about. Many of the "features" that people are raving about over the Iphone.... android users have been enjoying these features for the last 2 years. Drop down menus, heads up notifications, video calls...with or without wifi enabled... and a host of other features. IOS is still behind android and always will be due to the limitatons they place on the user and developers. It's a known fact hat android is on more mobile devices than IOS...because people want a phone they can make their own and personalize it...no such term as "jail-breaking" in android. It's your phone...you can do with it as you will and still not void the warranty...thanks google
0Anonymous , June 6, 2012 11:47 PMThe author of this article should have done some research first. Many of these so-called "Siri clones" pre-date Siri and iPhone 4S by years.

Hi all,
I'm new to this so please forgive me - I'm sure that I will get the hang of it pretty soon though.
It's great to see that there are people out there in a similar situation as myself.
|Fri, 12-10-2010 - 5:41pm
I am Victoria, 29, and DH and I are WTT our first! Kids are a big respomsibility and it's always good to be ready for them. Good luck in achieving your goals and I hope you stick around!
|Fri, 12-10-2010 - 8:34pm
Welcome! I am new too and it is so nice to have someplace to talk about TTC. We are waiting until I am done with grad school, which isn't for another 2.5 years! Actually we are hoping to start trying in about 2 years, I can deal with being pregnant, working, and going to school at the same time, I am sure.
I would say, enjoy this time with your DH, this is very special time you will never have together again. As long as your biological clock isn't ticking REALLY LOUD like my 31 year old clock is, I think 2 years is reasonable. Use this time to prepare financially and health-wise, too. We are trying hard to save up money, make repairs/improvements on the house, and I'd really like to lose some weight before getting pregnant.
|Tue, 12-28-2010 - 5:39pm
I am also pretty "new" to the board, although I have been around off and on for over 5 years now! I come back when baby fever starts to get the best of me, then seem to leave when it
|Wed, 12-29-2010 - 5:48pm
I think your two year plan sounds good as it must be a lovely time when you're both free to tie up loose ends, so to speak. I would be the same in wanting that and looking back, I wish we had been more financially sensible before having DS. Best of luck with it all.

The summer of 2002 saw quite a bit of political action regarding US threats to the very existence of Internet radio. The Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP), created by the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act, would wipe out US internet radio through high, retroactive, payments that do not apply to ordinary radio. Doc Searls has been covering these developments in a series of articles on our web site. If you haven't been keeping up, read "Hollywood Steps Up Its Assault on the Net While Webcasting Death March Claims KPIG" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6246) and "Why Are So Many Internet Radio Stations Still on the Air?" (www.linuxjournal.com/6218).
In addition, the US Department of Commerce's second Digital Rights Management (DRM) workshop was held in Washington, DC, and everyone was represented on the panel except the general public. Fortunately, Linux users crashed this little party that the government threw for RIAA, MPAA and other Hollywood-interest groups. Read about it in "DRM Is Theft: New Yorkers for Fair Use Go to Washington" (www.linuxjournal.com/6243) contributed by New York Linux Scene (NYLXS) founder Ruben Safir.
We are seeing more and more clearly that Hollywood has the money and the desire to turn the Internet into a super-regulated, privacy-invading, content-management system. As Doc and others keep asking, "So what are we going to do about it?" While the general public is asleep at the wheel on this one (they'll have a rude awakening before too long), some Linux users are learning how to get politicians' ears. Ruben Safir has more to say about that in "Politics Is Local, So Get Political Locally" (www.linuxjournal.com/6250). At the local level, you can knock on doors and get meetings with your Representative in Congress. Nobody's going to do it for you.
On the technical side, as long as we're still allowed to write software without paying some 21st-century stamp tax, Greg Ward's article on Quixote (www.linuxjournal.com/article/6178) describes a web application framework "written by and for Python programmers". Quixote has its own templating language based on Python code "to generate long text strings such as HTML documents" instead of "embedding Python code in an HTML-like template language". This definitely is an approach designed for web programmers rather than designers used to an HTML editor.
We get a lot of submissions for Linux Journal, and due to space limitations in print, many helpful tutorials, reviews and news items appear on the web site instead. Articles are available on the site dating back to 1994, and new ones are posted every day.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Easy Quinoa Pancakes (Gluten, Dairy, and Sugar Free)
Posted By Mindy On May 22, 2013 @ 12:01 am In Healthy kids,Healthy Living,In the kitchen,Living healthy,Nutrition,Raising healthy eaters,Real Food,Real, whole food,Recipes | Comments Disabled

Fluffy, easy, nutritious, delicious, and low-glycemic pancakes…what more could anyone ask for?!
These simple pancakes make a great breakfast when you have leftover quinoa from supper the night before. Quinoa is more gentle on your blood sugar than most other grains, and it also happens to be delicious! (Note: Quinoa is technically a seed, but it is commonly referred to as a grain.)
If you like quinoa then you will love these easy, simple pancakes. However, if you are not fond of the taste of quinoa then you may not care for these pancakes, because the taste of the quinoa definitely does come through.
Even if you don't like quinoa, though, I would encourage you to give them a try anyway – you might surprise yourself and end up enjoying a new, healthy breakfast treat!
Easy Quinoa Pancakes
- 3 cups cooked quinoa [3]
- 3/4 cups almond milk [4] (any other dairy or non-dairy milk should work also)
- 4 eggs OR 3/4 cups egg whites
- 3 tsp. baking powder
- pinch of salt
- sweetener – optional (a few dashes of stevia [5] or a few Tbsp. of sucanat [6], maple syrup [7], or honey [8])
- cinnamon, vanilla, flavorings of choice – optional
- Place quinoa, almond milk, and eggs in a blender. Blend on high speed until everything is blended into a smooth batter.
- Add the baking powder, salt, and optional sweetener and spices/flavorings. Pulse blender a few times to incorporate these ingredients into the batter.
- The batter will be quite thick. Pour the batter onto a griddle that has been pre-heated over medium (to medium-low) heat into desired pancake size. Cook until the pancake starts to appear dry and is golden brown underneath. Flip the pancake and continue cooking until completely done and golden brown on both sides.
- Serve with berries and Greek yogurt or your desired toppings of choice.

Champion the Use of Spirometry
June 14, 2012
What's World Spirometry Day?
It's a day to raise awareness of lung health and disease by promoting spirometry. Championed by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies, World Spirometry Day is June 27. AARC is also an official supporter of the event.
Like its cousins World COPD Day and World Asthma Day, this lung health event will be featured around the world, and gives us all great opportunities for promoting and featuring to work of respiratory therapists in the diagnosis and treatment of lung disease.
"WSD 2012 will launch on June 27 but testing will not be limited to this day alone. Participants are encouraged to capitalize on the Olympics and hold events in the run up to the games on July 27 and beyond," says the World Spirometry Day website.
By using the Olympics as a launchpad, World COPD Day features several individuals they call "Lung Champions," who have excelled in sports.
"Since World Spirometry Day is just the start of a summer-long focus on lung health and Olympic achievement, we encourage our members to use this as a media opportunity for respiratory therapists," said Karen Stewart, AARC President.
AARC offers the following tips for you to break in to the media market in your town and showcase lung health and respiratory care.
Spirometry Facts and Figures
Courtesy of the World Spirometry Day website:
12 Reasons for Taking a Spirometry Test
If you identify with any of the reasons below, take a spirometry test to check out your lung health.
Please note: Some lung symptoms may have causes which will not be detected by spirometry. If you have symptoms such as coughing up blood, weight loss, or develop a new symptom which seems to be getting worse, it is important that you consult your doctor.

Hollywood! Adapt This: TUROK: DINOSAUR HUNTER
by Dave Trumbore Posted 1 year, 312 days ago
A couple weeks ago on "Hollywood! Adapt This!," we brought up the idea of adapting the Tyco animated series Dino-Riders as a live-action adaptation. This week, we'll go from dino riding to dino hunting! Believe it or not, this particular character has been around for almost sixty years in comic form, although he was introduced to a whole new generation with a line of video games spanning a number of systems. There have been six games released over 10 years, but it's been almost five years since any whispers of a live-action movie adaptation. How has this property managed to escape the movie treatment? Find out after the jump. Hollywood! Adapt this: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I strongly recommend the carter electric fuel pumps over holley.
not big on copper fuel lines on a car. Tends to crack with chassis vibration.
Use steel or aluminum fuel lines.
1 3/8" single line is not enough for a 600hp supercharged motor.
1 1/2" or two 3/8" lines.
if you are going to attempt to run it with just a single 3/8" fuel line you'd best dynamically flow test the system
to ensure enough flow. You cantalk to all the experts you want but untill you flow test the system on the car
you do not know the flow capacity.
Basic errors like this are unforgiving on a supercharged car.
|mustang 671
cheers f bird . its been awhile . hope your well and good. i was wondering about what to do on my fueling , thinking i need to speak to a specialist over here ? or do you reckon i could achieve it myself ? will speak to "real steal" in the morning and see what holley pumps they can provide with your figures in mind . i have a copper 3/8" of inch fuel line from tank to engine . i was told it would be enough . whats your thoughts ? . no fitings on it . have bent it all nicely.
You cannot use the Bosch pumps in a dead head configuration.
The need a return line and a bypass style fuel pressure regulator.
A Carter P4601 pump and holley fuel repssure regulaotor would have been a better choice.
1/2" fuel line.
A pair of Carter P4070 pumps thru (two) twin 3/8" fuel lines (1 for each carb) needs no regulator at all.
The pair will feed that motor with room to spare. Just needs fuel filters inline before the pumps and twin fuel pickups in the tank. (will support over 800HP)
The bosch pumps are more for EFI. You need to dynamicaly flow test your fuel system with bypass and return line to ensure it can feed the motor enough at WOT high rpm. Flow test it thru a test orrifice that is equal area to the combined 4 needle seats. Test for working flow volume and pressure thru the orrifice.
4psi flowing fuel pressure is fine.
If the fuel system cannot keep up to motor demand at WOT the supercharged motor will leanout and burndown.
A 600 horsepower motor needs a fuel system that can flow 60 GPH (US) @WOT max power output.
This is the real flow, thru a test orifice, @ the working pressure and supply voltage. not the advertised GPH rating "free flow". Not the same thing.
.5 (1 half) pound per Horsepower per hour. You want 6 to 7psi at idle and not less than 2.5psi at max flow demand WOT/max power.

electric fuel pump problems on sbf weiand 671
hi all . been a while for me . been back on my car and looking at getting it on the road in 4 weeks . so i have a problem i need help with . i had contamination withinn my fuel- being water - yuk - isnt good for carbs - so i have cleaned out the tank . lines , overhauled carbs , and have fitted a new holley pressure reg and have replaced my mechinacal high flow eldebrock fuel pump for a electric one . the main reason is so i can set up my carbs before cranking the engine but also if the car was stood for a while it took alot out of the battery to re pressurise and crank this engine being supercharged .
ok . i bought from ebay a bosch electric fuel pump . fitted a filter before it and have fitted the regulator after it. the regulator is brand new and i havent tried to change it from the factory set . i have over 12psi on my guage near the carbs . my needle valves are passing by and filling the engine with fuel .
so my question is . have i bought the wrong fuel pump ? ie the one i have on another v8 ticks fast and then starts to slow down then stops . this fuel pump is noisey and doesnt seem to shut off ?
are some pumps constantly pushing ? ie one for a fuel inj system meaning it pushes huge pressure for a common rail type engine . or regardless should it stop if my regulator doesnt allow any more flow ?
again lots of questions and i maybe barking up the wrong tree . can a fuel pump push past a regulator ?
was thinking of changing it for another one if its not correct ? if so what ?
i have a 351w now bored to 5.9 and have a 6/71 weiand with 2x 600 vac sec carbs .
cheers all.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

"True manhood will only be found inside the Body of that One New Man, Jesus Christ. What are you waiting for?" (quoted in this previous post).
I write this carefully. I don't intend to offend anyone.
But. It's kind of turning into a rant.
If I've heard this said once I've heard it 1,000 times: "The church is just too feminine for me"
Ok. Message received, loud and clear. Now, let me send you a message:
Church is too girly for you? OK, fine. So what's your answer? Run home and hide behind the TV? Make your wife do all the spiritual heavy lifting in your house? Is that really your answer?
Too girly? You know those "feminine" church guys you're always bashing? You know what they are doing? Many of them are working to build the kingdom of Heaven while you sit at home and talk about why you hate going to church and hanging out with them.
Too girly? What are you doing about it? Real men don't complain. They fix. Remember your dad? If you're around my age, your dad was born in the depression, experienced a world war and several other lesser wars, grew up with about 1/100th of the luxuries and extravagances you and I have and, by gosh, when something was broken in your home he knew how to fix it. Because he hadn't been coddled. In those days you either knew how to fix stuff or you went without. And if you went without, you didn't complain.
My dad could and can fix the crud out of anything. Fix a car, build a room, wire a building, pour a slab, you name it. I only wish I had those skills. But I am of the later, coddled generations that didn't have to.
So, OK, assuming you're right. What are you doing to fix the church? What's your excuse for its current feminine state (if that's really the state of the church and not just your favorite excuse for your absence)? If you are evangelical, every single formal position of power in your church is most likely held by a man. If your church is anywhere near normal, it is begging for men to come help and lead. How on earth is it feminized, short of you not doing your job? You're a man. Your pastor's a man. All the deacons are men. If your church is painted in soft pink pastels, I don't know what to tell you, my brothuh. Maybe you were asleep at the switch.
You want to de-feminize the church? Get in there and lead! They want you, dude!
Work side by side with those guys who you think aren't as manly as you are. Maybe you'll be surprised at the spiritual strength some of those guys have. Maybe they are warriors but you never saw it because you were too busy blasting them because they aren't as manly as you are. There's more to being a man than being able to down a couple dozen hot wings and ten beers while watching football at Hooters. Lots more. You might be humbled at the spiritual depth of some of the non-hunters and non ex-football players at your church. You won't know until you get in there and bleed and sweat with them for awhile building the Kingdom. And they might be able to learn something from you too.
God looks at the inward part, not the outward. The goal of a real man is to be like Christ, not like the culture's stereotype of manhood.
Some aspects of real manhood, from my point of view (and I fall short in every one of these categories):
1. Real men have vision: They can see the truth in situations. They see with God's eyes. They see people as they really are, not as they seem. They see people as they will be, not as they are. They don't write people off because they appear useless. They know that every child of God is their brother or sister, and they will lead the rescue mission, leaving the 99 to find the 1. Real men also see themselves as God does, and they throw aside every weight and entangling sin and they run, with their vision firmly set on Jesus.
2. Real men train: How are our spiritual disciplines doing? Spiritual disciplines are how we train for battle and, frankly guys, the women are kicking our pasty white behinds in this area. Our goal, our destiny is to be like Christ. We need to be working toward that goal. To become "those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." (Hebrews 5:14). Bible study is not just for chicks, men. Dig in.
3. Real men are brave: Brave, not full of bravado. Look at the life of Jesus. Jesus was brave. Brave enough to sacrifice it all. He's our model. And - no - he didn't spend every day turning over tables, although you wouldn't know that from reading some of the Manly Christian books out these days. But he did speak the truth to the powerful. He called a spade a spade. That took guts. If Jesus saw something that was wrong, he dealt with it. He didn't shrug his shoulders, run home, and get comfortable in his easy chair and his excuses. He also reached out to the undesirables. He was willing to commit social suicide to help the ones no one else would touch. And he was man enough to preach astonishing humility and astonishing generosity.
4. Real men sacrifice: The human mind is wired to make excuses. You can't go to church, because it's too feminized. Look at that statement for a second - do you see the circular logic embedded in it? Men, you RUN THE CHURCH! Why are you running from it? If it's feminized, it's your fault. Maybe the real reason is you're not willing to expend the energy required. Maybe sacrifice scares you (it scares me too). But it there's one thing shouted from the New Testament about men it's that we are called to sacrifice.
5. Real men know the meaning of "nice": Frankly, I'm tired of seeing that good word dragged through the mud. "Nice" is not "weak". Sometimes weak masquerades as nice, but that's a different issue. Perhaps a better word is "kind". Kindness is a fruit of the spirit, which means it's a trait we all should be developing. Even if we think being kind is for wimps. Even if we shy away from fruit. Jesus was the perfect mix of firmness and gentleness, and it's no mistake that the trait of gentleness is so highly spoken of in the New Testament. It's the mark of a truly strong man. Self Control. There's another good trait. If you're always flying off the handle in manly rage, maybe you need to get your manliness redefined.
6. Real men don't complain, they fix: God may be calling you to sacrificially pour yourself out in service to others in your local church. If you're a real man, you'll answer that call. Without complaining.
Ok, I'm done.
A commenter, Jason from over at Godfidence, wrote a post that references an article in Christ In Ya'll entitled why men don't go to church. I read the article and found it to be a good one (and, thankfully, not what I expected). This section was very surprising, especially since I myself am a member of the much-maligned denomination referenced:
The fly in the ointment of Podles' thesis [Ed: Podles wrote The Church Impotent: The Feminization of Christianity] is the Southern Baptists. Step into a Southern Baptist church (especially an urban example), and you will often find as many men as women. Why is this? Rather than address this peculiarity of the largest Protestant denomination in the world, he dismisses the whole group as irrelevant because they do not fit his definition of "mainline" Christianity. Perhaps Southern Baptists are too "low church" for his taste. However, we must ask what draws men to a Southern Baptist church so successfully.Aw yeah. Come to the SBC, where men are men and the gatorade flows dark green, baby!
As one who grew up in (and left) this tradition, I can easily say: There's just so much to do in a Southern Baptist Church. They form committees for everything, delegate leadership for numerous and varied functions, and just about anybody can become a leader of something. In a highly liturgical church like a Catholic or Episcopalian church, only the minister and one or two others get to do anything that "matters." In a Presbyterian church, there can be a handful of elders who share leadership responsibilities. But almost any and every man in a Southern Baptist church can become a Sunday School teacher or a deacon, both of which involve the same kinds of responsibilities that are found in the presbytery (and to some degree, the priesthood). Even the ministerial staff of a Southern Baptist church has been expanded to include everyone from the music leader, to the preschool director, to the Business administrator. In short, a person stands a much better chance to FUNCTION in a Southern Baptist church than most other places. No wonder men are more likely to attend a Southern Baptist church than a Catholic one.
All joking aside, he has a good point. We men are most energized, most passionate, most alive when we are fighting and striving toward something that really matters. That's just the way we're wired.
Read the whole article - it's a good one. The ending in particular is hammer, nail, BLAM!
I challenge you to find a place where everyone significantly contributes to the meetings, the planning, and the "ministering" of the church. Seek out a brotherhood of men who are truly involved in one another's lives, then join it. Most of all, find a place where the Lord's cross is meaningful beyond the mere forgiveness of sins, and where the Lord's house means more than anyone's personal agenda. When you find that place, sell everything and move there. True manhood will only be found inside the Body of that One New Man, Jesus Christ. What are you waiting for?There is a followup post coming on this . . .
Now, if you're desiring to become a real man, please don't be an idiot about it. From a Newsweek Article about the recent GodMen conference:
"People think that you have to be a goody-two-shoes to be Christian and I hate that,†he says. "This has strengthened me. I am a man and I can stand my ground and I'm not afraid to show my impurities and if someone has a problem with that, that's their problem.â€Look for "Grow a Pair" to hit a worship service near you . . . (and don't forget to bring a raincoat. There'll be a lot of testosterone splatterin' all over the place).
When the GodMen band seized the stage again, they tore into an anthem called "Grow A Pair!â€: "We've been beaten down/ Feminized by the culture crowd,†they sang. "No more nice guy, timid and ashamed/ We've had enough, cowboy up/ In the power of Jesus name/ Welcome to the battle/ A million men have got your back/ Jump up in the saddle/ Grab a sword, don't be scared/ Be a man, grow a pair!†Said Tholstrup, as he surveyed the crowd: "If 200 men are feeling this, other men are feeling it too.†Which ought to provide enough testosterone for plenty of GodMen gatherings to come.
On the other hand, maybe we should just grow up and be men, leaving this chest-pounding nonsense in the toychest where it belongs.
Thanks to all who answered my call for the best modern worship albums. I received thirty-three recommendations, but only four albums were mentioned more than once.
The four worship projects receiving more than one mention are:
1) Indelible Grace was mentioned three times.
2) Skillet's Ardent Worship was mentioned three times.
3) David Crowder's A Collision was mentioned twice.
4) David Crowder's Illuminate was mentioned twice.
Turns out my wife can get a lot of this stuff from her vendor reps, so I'm looking forward to checking out the albums that seem the most promising. (Definitely going to get some David Crowder.)
For a list of all the one-time recommendations, make the jump . . .

David Wayne, a.k.a. The Jollyblogger, highlights a post from Tod Bolsinger today on the mandate Jesus gives to His followers for generosity, specifically in relation to the Christian's reputation with restaurant waitstaff.
It's a subject we've discussed a few times before.
Bolsinger, inspired by Tom Wright, writes:
In the middle of my sabbatical, while reading through a wonderful, thick tome on the ministry of Jesus by N.T. Wright, I stumbled across two words that were used to describe a key characteristic that Jesus' expected of his followers: "astonishing generosity.†I liked the phrase. I rolled it around in my brain. But I also found myself disturbed by it. It seemed almost impossible.
The quote itself was a reference to Matthew 5:38-42, when Jesus tells his followers "to turn the other cheek†when struck, "give their cloak†when asked for a coat, or to carry a load an "extra mile†when a person makes you haul something for one. He is saying in effect, that even when people use or take advantage of you, they in the words of Bishop Wright, "must be met with astonishing generosity.†(Jesus and the Victory of God, p. 290)
Wayne writes:
One of the things [Richard Pratt] challenged me to do was to become a regular at the Bistro across the street. He said I need to go there often and our church members need to go there often. And, we need to be such excellent guests and tippers that waiters and waitresses want to fight over who gets to serve us.
This is a hot button issue for me. On more than one occasion I have heard and read people who say that wait-staff in restaurants do not have particularly good impressions of Christians and that for some, Sunday is the worst day of the week because of the church people. The church people are generally seen to be rude, demanding and poor tippers. So, Pratt's exhoration to me was to do my part in changing the reputation of Christians in that regard.
Sunday evening, Becky and I were dining out, and our waiter messed up our order in a few ways. He was very nervous for having done so. He ended up giving us a free appetizer and a free dessert. And even so, I could tell he was fearful of the compensatory repurcussions of his mistakes. I decided to give him a 50% tip, because even if he didn't know we were Christians, I wanted him to be astonished by grace after we'd left.
I don't say that to brag but merely to encourage you to think of small, practical ways you can extend grace to people. Not necessarily to "evangelize" or further your or the Church's reputation, but just because it is a Jesus sort of thing to do.
I wasn't aware of this, but evidently Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, lost his ability to speak 18 months ago.
He now has his voice back (and evidently a recovery of this type is unprecedented). It's a neat story of how he worked with his own brain patterns to train himself to talk again. The comments thread is very inspiring, too.
An excerpt:
The day before yesterday, while helping on a homework assignment, I noticed I could speak perfectly in rhyme. Rhyme was a context I hadn't considered. A poem isn't singing and it isn't regular talking. But for some reason the context is just different enough from normal speech that my brain handled it fine.
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.
Jack jumped over the candlestick.
I repeated it dozens of times, partly because I could. It was effortless, even though it was similar to regular speech. I enjoyed repeating it, hearing the sound of my own voice working almost flawlessly. I longed for that sound, and the memory of normal speech. Perhaps the rhyme took me back to my own childhood too. Or maybe it's just plain catchy. I enjoyed repeating it more than I should have. Then something happened.
My brain remapped.
My speech returned.
Not 100%, but close, like a car starting up on a cold winter night. And so I talked that night. A lot. And all the next day. A few times I felt my voice slipping away, so I repeated the nursery rhyme and tuned it back in. By the following night my voice was almost completely normal.
When I say my brain remapped, that's the best description I have. During the worst of my voice problems, I would know in advance that I couldn't get a word out. It was if I could feel the lack of connection between my brain and my vocal cords. But suddenly, yesterday, I felt the connection again. It wasn't just being able to speak, it was KNOWING how. The knowing returned.
I still don't know if this is permanent. But I do know that for one day I got to speak normally. And this is one of the happiest days of my life.
. . . according to leading "unscientific polls." At least that's the Friedman campaign's response to recent poll results showing him running fourth in the Texas gubernatorial campaign with about 10% support:
[Friedman spokeswoman Laura Stromberg] said Internet polls, radio station polls and a survey run by an ice cream shop in Denton all had Friedman in the lead.
"Every unscientific poll we've seen has Kinky in the lead," Stromberg said.
This is who I heard speak today. All in all, I gotta say, it was one of the cooler Saturdays I've had in awhile.
I don't think one "expert" picked them but....
This has been one heck of a year for me with the Steelers and now the Cards! Man is this fun. It is so cool to live in the city. I remember telling my wife after the Steelers won that it would be so much better to live in Pittsburgh to celebrate. Now we do. Look for me on the parade route!!
Congratulations Cards!!
1. The energy drink named Cocaine. I'm guessing the marketing executive who came up with this had a smidgen of the real stuff in his latte.
2. Using your real estate license to cultivate a unique clientele: people who want to buy homes just to use them to grow marijuana. Because drug dealers never rat out their accomplices.
3. Building a "border fence" along one third of the U.S.-Mexico border. (A) I still don't understand who's going to build it, since the Mexicans build all the good fences down here (B) I'm having flashbacks to childhood-- this reminds me of the old cartoon gag where, say, the Tasmanian devil couldn't get to Bugs Bunny, even though the house had collapsed, because the front door was still locked (C) Mentioned the fence thing to an illegal alien I know a few days ago. He wasn't impressed (D) I'm still struggling with what to call this thing. Is it even a fence if it only goes a third of the way across?
My daughter was reading the Bible aloud to me the other morning, as is part of our homeschool habit. She came upon this passage:
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies
Whereupon she became quite animated and blurted out:
Love your enemies?!?! That's impossible!
It's all to easy to glance over these words, treating them with all the gravity of a recipe for chicken pot pie. So I'm glad she reminded me.

Okay, I don't know jack about the current worship music scene. Couldn't name a Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, or Dennis Jernigan song.
But I'm interested. So this is where you come in. I'd like you to think carefully and then tell me what you think are the three best modern worship albums. Or, if you feel unqualified to name the best, just tell me your three favorite. Or, if you think you know my tastes and preferences in a roundabout way, name the three you think I would like best.
Just to give you an idea, I like old school Vineyard worship stuff, especially David Ruis and Brian Doerksen, and my absolute favorite worship albums are Caedmon's Call's two In the Company of Angels albums. Also, I tend to favor more upbeat and theo-centric type songs than slow-going "Me and Jesus are parking at Inspiration Point"-type songs, but one or two of those latter kind are okay.
But in general, just tell me which three you think are best. The only catch is, I don't want you to leave your choices in the comments. E-mail them to jaredcwilson [at] yahoo [dot] com.
That's only so I can get a true sampling of individual recommendations and gather a real consensus from that, rather than having a bunch of folks going "Oh yeah, I like that one that so-and-so mentioned."
I'll share which ones got the most "votes" soon.
Okay, guys, thanks for the recommendations. Keep them coming. So far, I've received over 20 album suggestions, but only 2 albums have been mentioned more than once (one twice and another three times).
If you can, please try to limit your recs to three. I know that's hard, and it'd probably be hard for me too. But the reason is just that, when everyone's suggesting ten albums or whatever (and not everyone is, but a few of you are), it's hard to know which ones you really think are the very best, and it's also hard to make a list I think is representative of the best. If six people respond and I've got 60 album recommendations, I'm pretty much right where I started -- not knowing what to look into. So thanks to the folks who are recommending, like, one CD. That evens things out a bit. But everybody else please try to limit yourself to, for instance, which two or three you'd take to a desert island.
Also, your odds of getting me to check out the CD you like increase when you recommend something somebody else might recommend. Because, really, what I'm doing is seeing which albums show up on more than one list. (Again, that's only 2 so far.) So recommending the worship CD your church put out is cool (and in fact, the one guy who has done that described it in such a way that I am inclined to check it out anyway), but probably not going to make me shell out some cash to listen to it. Unless you can "sell" it well like the guy I just mentioned did.
In a future post I'll share the results and will list all the recommendations I received. So your suggestion will get "aired," and then other people can then say "Yeah, that one's great" or whatever.
Cool? Cool.
Or is syncretism even the right word for an "I'm okay, you're okay" Christian view of Jews who reject Jesus?
Sunday night thousands crowded into John Hagee's Cornerstone Church in his "Night to Honor Israel," in which he and his congregation joined with Jewish leaders to express their undying devotion to the nation-state in Israel.
Hagee holds to the "two peoples of God" view (with his own peculiar flavoring), which means that Christians are saved by trusting in Jesus, and Jews are saved by holding to the Pharisaic spin on the Old Covenant, all the while giving the finger to Jesus.

I figured, what with Halloween being a week away, there was still plenty of time to wait before debating this topic.
But it looks like I'm behind the times. Apparently Christmas season is in full swing, and Halloween has pretty much passed us by. At least judging from what I saw at the store today. So I apologize for being out of step with the pace of the modern world, but I just have to get this in, even if it's yesterday's news.
Carry on.
James Dobson interviewing Ann Coulter for Focus on the Family.
This has been a great weekend. Our very own Honorary Thinkling Quaid (aka, Randy) married the lovely Jen Friday night. This capped off a two-day celebration that I was honored to be a part of (I was a groomsman). They held an awesome rehearsal dinner Thursday night followed by a fabulous overnight stay at a lakehouse for the groomsmen and the wedding pastor (Chris Mayfield, our former Student minister and now pastor of Seattle's Journey church). It was great to be reunited with all the great Journey people.
The wedding was held on Friday. It was one of the best weddings I've ever been to. The music in particular was wonderful (Randy and Jen have a number of very talented friends). Journey worship leaders Matt and Stephanie sang the processional "Here is Love", and another friend, Jenny, sang a song during the communion that she had written as a gift to Randy and Jen. It was amazing.
And the reception was a blast!
If you know Randy, you know that he is a Godly man, a dedicated minister to students, and an overall great guy. He and his lovely bride are in Italy now, enjoying their honeymoon. May God bless their new life together.
Rene Girard, I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, p. 175.
To bury the modern concern for victims under millions and millions of corpses-- there you have the National Socialist way of being Nietzschean. But some will say, "This interpretation would have horrified poor Nietzsche." Probably, yes. Nietzsche shared with many intellectuals of his time and our own a passion for irresponsible rhetoric in the attempt to get one up on opponents. But philosophers, for their misfortune, are not the only people in the world. Genuinely mad and frantic people are all around them and do them the worst turn of all: they take them at their word.
From Peter Leithart, Against Christianity, p. 47.
(9) Theology is a "Victorian" enterprise, neoclassically bright and neat and clean, nothing out of place.
Whereas the Bible talks about hair, blood, sweat, entrails, menstruation and genital emissions.
(10) Here's an experiment you can do at any theological library. You even have my permission to try this at home.
Step 1: Check the indexes of any theologian you choose for any of the words mentioned in the section 9 above. (Augustine does not count. Augustine's theology is as big as reality, or bigger.)
Step 2: Check the Bible concordance for the same words.
Step 3: Ponder these questions: Do theologians talk about the world the same way the Bible does? Do theologians talk about the same world the Bible does?
Cafe Hayek quotes a John Tierney essay:
Planned Parenthood's policy of relying on voluntary birth control was called a "tragic ideal†by the ecologist Garrett Hardin. Writing in the journal Science, Hardin argued that "freedom to breed will bring ruin to all.†He and others urged America to adopt a "lifeboat ethic†by denying food aid, even during crises, to countries with rapidly growing populations.
Those intellectuals didn't persuade Americans to adopt their policies, but they had more impact overseas. Under prodding from Westerners like Robert McNamara, the head of the World Bank, countries adopted "fertility targets†to achieve "optimal†population size. When an Indian government official proposed mandatory sterilization for men with three or more children, Paul Ehrlich criticized the United States for not rushing to help.
"We should have volunteered logistic support in the form of helicopters, vehicles, and surgical instruments,†he wrote, and added: "Coercion? Perhaps, but coercion in a good cause.â€
Yikes. I'm squirming in my seat just reading that.
Gives the term "black helicopters" a whole new meaning.

Global economic uncertainty is hurting Asian economic growth but the long-term outlook for logistics providers is still bright, according to Brendan Canavan, the recently appointed president of UPS Asia Pacific.
He said that although current weakness in U.S. and European markets was hitting UPS' "bread and butter" export customers in Asia, many customers were seeking out new markets and creating fresh logistics demand.
"Intra-Asia trade is currently experiencing strong near-term growth prospects and we are seeing Asian exporters, particularly in the high-tech industry, building stronger business relationships with their neighbours and intensifying trade within Asia to capture this growth," he said.
Intra-Asia growth will continue to surge, driven by the willingness of governments to embrace free trade agreements and the development of new low-cost emerging markets such as Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam.
"The intra-Asia shipping market is promising, driven by increasing consumption, manufacturing, and a relatively better macroeconomic scenario," he said. "The intra-Asia containerized trade segment has seen average growth rates of approximately 6.4 percent between 2009 to date, in comparison to a sub 5 percent growth rate for other trade corridors."
"In terms of actual cargo volume, the share of the intra-Asia region has increased from 19 percent to 21 percent within 2008 to 2012," he said. "This would indicate a strong demand that may eventually necessitate greater capacity."
China remains critical to the company's performance in Asia. Canavan said that although China's trade growth numbers had fallen this year and manufacturing had slowed, there was no comparison to 2009, when imports shrank by almost 30 percent.
"The market is handling the current economic conditions better than in 2009," he said. "Export orders have declined which is a sign of weakening global demand with several European nations in recession and the U.S. economy slowing."
"The slower growth figure also suggests the cyclical growth in China is normalizing and that market is undergoing a significant shift from its low-cost-manufacturing roots to a maturing market driven by a self-trading and intra-Asian economy," he said. "But while China's GDP growth slowed in the last quarter at over 7%, it is still significantly higher than the estimated approximate global GDP growth of 3%."
Canavan expects lower demand to further pressurize ocean freight rates on Asia-Europe lanes. "With market indicators pointing toward flat volume growth, I think carriers will be under a lot of pressure to reduce rates," he said.
In the long-term there remain "vast opportunities" for the logistics industry in China, not least because of strong government support for infrastructure construction, a growing middle class, rising domestic consumption and "the gradual move of China's businesses up the value chain," which will necessitate more sophisticated and integrated logistics solutions.
"We're seeing a growing shift in consumption in China with a growing urban population that includes an increasingly affluent middle class," he said "Retail sales and e-commerce spending are still expected to grow, reaching RMB 2 trillion by 2015.
"While trading patterns may evolve, UPS still remains in a good position to help support these consumers as they trade globally or within the region," Canavan said.
