WATER taxis would ferry passengers up and down the Thames if an ambitious plan becomes reality.
The vision includes creating nine piers which would double up as pick-up points, including ones at Canvey, Purfleet and Grays.
Southend and Gravesend piers would also feature in the estuary network which would run from Southend up to Greenwich.
Top London planners Terry Farrell Associates devised the plan after being commissioned to come up with ideas by Thames Gateway.
The firm produced the Parklands Vision, a 67-page document which championed using the river for transport of passengers and freight.
It also suggested the estuary's marshes and woodlands be made more accessible to the public.
Donna Riddington, Parklands assistant co-ordinator, said: "Water transport would open up the Thames Gateway. It would allow new industry and leisure relations between either side and bring closer neighbours who at the moment seem very far away.
"It harks back to how the river used to be used."
Nigel Holdcroft, Southend Council leader, praised the idea for its potential to cut congestion in south Essex and said it would fit in perfectly with the council's plans for the future of the pier.
He said: "In a consultation about how the public wanted to see the pier developed they said they wanted a use that was linked to either a maritime use or was environmentally friendly. Something like this would obviously be consistent with that."
Ray Howard, Castle Point councillor, loved the idea.
He said: "I have always advocated that the River Thames is not used enough. It's a great asset."

Padres are sorry to lose Rick Renteria, 'a tireless worker'
BY GORDON WITTENMYER Staff Reporter November 7, 2013 10:24PM
Logan Forsythe grounds Everth Cabrera into a double play. Cabrera hits Mark Ellis in the crotch to the disdain of the Dodgers. Benches cleared but no punches were thrown in the 7th inning. Padres Bench Coach Rick Renteria restrains Cabrera.

Updated: December 9, 2013 11:09AM
When San Diego Padres catcher Nick Hundley thinks about Rick Renteria's impact on the club, he remembers the team flights.
"He'd come back to where I was sitting and we'd talk about different situations in the [just concluded] game or series," Hundley said Thursday. "And then he'd talk about the other manager's tendencies going forward into the next series. To get a jump on guys.
"He'd be watching film on the plane — just a tireless worker. The term 'go an extra mile' doesn't apply to him. He'll go an extra two miles."
This is what the Cubs are getting as a manager, say those who know the 51-year-old Southern California native best.
Renteria became the Cubs' fourth manager in five years — leaving behind a big hole in the San Diego Padres' team culture, to hear Padres players talk about their outgoing bench coach.
"He deserves to be a big-league manager. At the same time I'm sad because we lose him and everything he means to us in this clubhouse," Padres outfielder Will Venable said. "There's a way to play this game, and I believe that Ricky knows that way as well as anybody. No one did a better job of getting us prepared for that.
"But also, if it didn't happen, it's finding a reason it didn't happen and stressing that adjustments need to be made. Whether it's a small thing or a big thing, Ricky made sure he would address it right away, and in a way everybody respected. Sometimes that would mean it's time to raise your voice, and being tough with you. But in a way that was for the betterment of the team and for the betterment of the individual."
Renteria apparently is universally loved by those who know him, a famously nice guy who said Thursday it's rare to see him without a smile, "even in difficult times."
But everyone from Padres manager Bud Black to San Diego players say he's no pushover.
"If something needs to be said, he's going to say it. He's never afraid to approach it that way," Hundley said. "At the same time, he's never, ever going to get on guys or yell at guys just to do it. He's always going to have reasons for it, where it's necessary."
Team president Theo Epstein said he anticipates Rick Renteria's coaching staff coming together quickly but "we're not at the point yet where we can make any announcements on the coaching staff." Pitching coach Chris Bosio will be back, according to sources.
◆ At the same time they presented their new manager, the Cubs fired longtime respected baseball operations administration manager Patti James, a three-decade employee many considered one of the hardest-working employees in the department.
◆ Well-liked bullpen catcher Andy Lane was fired this week after three seasons with the club.

text: Description Facilities Map A rustic yet comfortably renovated farmhouse fully-equipped for self-catering parties of up to 10 people, as well as campsites available, situated on the private NamibRand Nature Reserve. Enjoy spectacular views over the vast plains and ancient blue mountain ranges, set out on foot or by 4x4 into the glowing red dunes for a close encounter with the fascinating variety of Namib Desert fauna and flora. The kids will love the dune-boarding and endless open spaces, or chasing after beetles and lizards scuttling over the sand dunes. A small water-hole just 20m from the verandah attracts a myriad of birdlife as well as Oryx, springbok, bat-eared fox, porcupines and other wildlife. The exceptional surroundings and clarity of the air provide endless opportunities for photography by day and star-gazing by night. The Hideout is accessible in a normal vehicle. There is also an airstrip less than 5 km away pick-ups can be arranged. As the sole occupier of this rustic and historic farmhouse, you will be able to spend quality time alone with your family and friends. The house is simply yet comfortably equipped for your essential needs, a solid and safe haven from the sometimes harsh desert conditions. Evidence of bygone farming days still remains in the old walls, fences and outbuildings, almost buried by ever-shifting sand dunes. Slow down, leave the stress and pace of our high-tech world behind you for a while and relax around an open fire in the silence of the multi-colored sunset, punctuated only by the click of barking geckos. Here in the vast and ancient Namib Desert, nature still reigns supreme. You may be comforted to know that a portion of your overnight costs goes towards the conservation of this unique and fragile environment. Our Eco-friendly house has solar lights, a gas fridge, freezer and stove and barbeque facilities. The expansive verandah provides ample shaded space for alfresco dining and living. The house is also fully wheelchair-accessible. The pure water running in the modern bathroom and kitchen facilities is pumped from far below the desert's surface. Two private and exclusive shaded campsites for up to eight people each, set in the dunes out of sight and earshot of each other and of the house. Magnificent views, en-suite bathrooms, flush toilet, hot shower, solar lighting, wash-up and barbeque facilities, as well as own waterhole for wildlife viewing. Water is heated for the showers using a Solahart solar hot water system. Please remember to bring firewood for your barbecue as no wood may be gathered on the Reserve.. Bedding and towels are available as an optional extra by prior arrangement only; otherwise please bring your own. Further optional extras are guided drives though the dunes in our comfortable 4x4 vehicle, self-drive permit for own 4x4 vehicle and dune board hire.

Scientists can identify zebras by their "bar codes"--now they can identify shark fins by zip code. Shark fins are illegally poached by the Chinese in order to make one of their great delicacies: shark fin soup. Tens of millions of animals are killed every year to produce this: 73 million sharks are killed by people every year, while sharks kill 4-5 people a year.
The Chinese are sometimes hard for Westerners to understand: For instance, shark fin soup is actually watery and tasteless if made only with shark fins--it's the pork and chicken in it that gives it its taste. Eating it is a kind of "bravado" statement in China, a celebration of winning the battle with a dangerous animal.
Sharks must swim constantly in order to get oxygen from the water flowing through their gills, thus removal of their fins kills them. This dangerous practice may lead to the extinction of certain species of shark. There is already a 90% decline in some species. Females hit hardest because they are bigger with larger fins, which makes it more likely that a species will die out.
By analyzing the shark carcasses they find, scientists can determine where they were swimming when their fins were removed. Sharks have predate the dinosaurs: They've been around for 400 million years. Archeologists don't find their bones (since they don't have any). Instead, they date them from finding their TEETH. Many of these shark teeth are found in Montana, which was once covered by the ocean.
The dusky shark is classified as "Endangered" in the Western Atlantic by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as its population is below 20% of what it was two decades ago. These new studies show that the genetic differences among populations of these sharks are large enough for scientists to be able to track the actual origin of the fins on sale in Asian markets, enabling better regional monitoring and management of these threatened predators.
Sharks are caught all over the world (even off the coast of South America), but all shark fins are shipped to China, where they are sold at auction. They are traded like commodities are in the US and Europe. Oceanographer Demian Chapman says, "By analyzing part of the genome that is inherited solely through the mother, we were able to detect differences between sharks living along different continents--in effect, their DNA zip codes. This research shows that adult females faithfully give birth along the continental region where they were born. If fished too much, the population will collapse, and it is extremely unlikely that it will be replenished from immigration of sharks from another region."
At one time, these animals were common in ocean waters off the United States--however, a recent stock assessment of the sharks along the US East Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico showed an 80% decline even though they have been protected since 2000 (NOTE: Subscribers can still listen to this show). The recovery of the species is extremely slow because the average age of maturity is 20 years, its reproductive cycle only occurs every three years--including a two-year pregnancy--and its litter size is relatively small (three to 14 offspring).
So why do we need sharks, anyway? They are a major ocean predator that keeps mid-level predators at bay. Without sharks, mid-level predators will decimate things in the ocean that WE like to eat, like oysters and scallops. An absence of sharks is the reason that piles of jellyfish have been washing up on many shores recently.
Hey, if you don't want unknowncountry.com to decline and wash up on the internet shore like those jellyfish, please support the site you love so much (it's not expensive--costs less than a latte a WEEK) and subscribe today!
All meat is needless slaughter. Just saying.

Towel Ring
By Gloria W. from Milford, MI on Oct 06, 2011
Bargain Hunter, Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
This towel ring is a little pricier than something you might find in discount stores or stores specifically targeted for home goods and housewares, but the quality is really good and it has a very nice look. I had purchased a couple of towel rings from other stores at anywhere from $10-15 less but this one had the exact look I wanted. I was pleased with the heft of this product when it arrived. Solid and substantial as well as good looking. Would definitely recommend the line to family or friends. Purchased the toilet paper holder as well.

When I was eight years old, I knew I wanted to become an artist. I lived in my own imagination, creating new worlds on paper, in crayon or paint, with words or with images. When I was fifteen, my father bought me my first camera and for the first time, I was able to really SEE.
I haven't looked back since.
I grew up in a quaint little town in NW Connecticut, close to the country and mountains, close to the sandy beach, close to New York City. I was surrounded by life and nature and music and trees and food and laughter and freedom and love. These are the things that shaped me. And these are the things that inspire me still.
Now, I'm living in Central Ohio with my incredible husband who recently retired from the Ohio National Guard after proudly and bravely serving two tours in Iraq, and our three gloriously talented and ridiculously smart children.
I'm a lifestyle photographer and I specialize in natural light portraiture and candid style wedding photography. I also create Fine Art images that are for sale in my Shop (link at top of the page).
I'm also a freelance writer. I write about all sorts of things like music reviews and commentary on current events. I also write some really bad poetry and boring fiction that no one will ever read.

Album Cover: Kanye West – 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'
Kanye West takes the wraps off the cover for his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, in stores November 22. "Banned in the USA!!! They tried to play me fam! They don't want me chilling on the couch with my phoenix!" tweeted Yeezy before posting the controversial artwork illustrated by artist George Condo.
While retailers may oppose the cover, Kanye is putting his artistic integrity first. "In all honesty … I really don't be thinking about Wal-Mart when I make my music or album covers #Kanyeshrug!" he said. "I wanna sell albums but not at the expense of my true creativity."
Kanye is putting the finishing touches on the long-awaited project. "Last day to wrap the album… I'm feeling so blessed on this day… finishing my 5th studio album in 6 years! Lining up piano sample replays," he wrote. "Adding the voice samples from the VMA performance to the album version of 'Runaway' also the whole song is 8 minutes long."
What do you think of Kanye's banned cover? Let us know below!

New computers – Kindle – Books (part 1)
January 13th, 2012 by p1, Filed under: Commentary, Gadgets, OT
You can, of course, just buy books from Amazon. It's pretty easy: you choose the book, arrange payment, click on a link to send it to your Kindle, and, next time your Kindle is connected to a wireless network you choose "Sync & Check for Items" from the menu on the home page, and they get loaded onto your machine.
But, let's suppose you are, like me, cheap.
Well, Amazon is still a source. You can search on "public domain," for example. (Type in "public " and Amazon will helpfully suggest something like "public domain books for kindle free.") That will get a list of books, most of which will be available free of charge. (Most of them probably started life in Project Gutenberg. We'll get there later.) You can even do it while your Kindle is connected via wireless, in the "Shop in Kindle Store" option on the home page menu. Some of the books that come up will be books about the public domain, and those you'll probably have to pay for. Also, some of the books, even in the public domain, bear a charge, although it's probably fairly modest. You will have to wade through them until you come up with something you want to read. (You will also have to wade through a whole bunch of titles in German.)
Now, these public domain books tend to be old. There are definitely classics to be found: Austen, Dickens, Wilde, Twain, and many, many others. If you want more recent titles, there are other searches you can do.
Try searching on "0.00" That is the price you will see if the book truly is free of charge. You'll still see some of the public domain books, but you will also see some more modern titles. (For some reason, lots of romances.) Amazon seems to mess with searches for "0.00″ especially if you add limits, like "0.00 science fiction" You will only get a very few titles. (The day I tried it, one was a science fiction magazine. The description even said that this subscription was always free for Kindle users. When I tried to subscribe, it asked for a credit card for "recurring charges.")
But, there are many, many other sources.
As previously noted, there is Project Gutenberg. This is the Grandfather of all free online book sources, started by Michael Hart. There are over 20,000 titles in the catalogue, with more being added all the time. They used to just be text, but they now come in half a dozen formats. For Kindle, you'll want .MOBI. (I've also mentioned the formats Kindle will handle.) Most of these titles appear elsewhere, including ManyBooks, which provides the texts in even more formats.
There is also a Website called Kindle Review. They have suggestions about where to get free books (although they mostly seem to sell Kindles). They have suggestions about books free at Amazon, particularly ones that are only available for a short time. You have to search for some entries, and the site is not easy to navigate, but I found this Amazon listing of limited time offers to be quite useful. They aren't all free, but a fair number are. (Remember, on Amazon, that in the upper right of the page you can sort, and one of the options is by price, lowest to highest.)

Technology companies always seem to be home to the most beautiful work spaces on the planet, and it comes as no surprise that internet search giant Google would fall right in line with this notion.
Utilizing a more monochrome approach for design, architecture and interior design brand Penson created an incredible work space for the Google engineers in Buckingham Palace Road, London. The building literally feels like a space shape, and it is equipped with some of the coolest toys and gadgets to help employees take their minds off programming, unwinding during the more stressful hours of the work day. Alongside the games are plenty of tranquil settings to lounge and relax, and what corporate headquarters would be complete without a coffee lab?

This poor excuse for a local daily has done everything within its power to prevent the recall of Mayor Suttle, apparently forgetting that it was the same paper that supported the recall of Mayor Boyle some 23 years ago.
Not only has its editorial page consistently 'warned' its readers of the dangers of a recall, but its publisher, Terry Kroeger, even wrote his own editorial on the opposite page, nothing we remember happening in our past readings of a once respected daily.
The paper's editorial page has been consistently supported by the light-weight, intellectually less than curious reporters on the subject who seem to frame everything in the eyes of Mr. Kroeger and those who pay their salaries. So much for journalistic integrity.
Even the paper's so-called columnists Mike Kelly and Robert Nelson can find nothing to write of the recall or Mr. Suttle that doesn't fully reflect the views of the editorial page. In one of his most recent opines on the subject, Kelly noted that, "At an Omaha Nighthawks football game this fall, I'm told , some boos could be heard when Suttle was introduced. It happens with people whose jobs are in the public eye." If any one else had written such a poorly supported statement, Kelly would have railed against it in a heartbeat, but since he was writing about it all he had to say is that, "I'm told." Well, he wasn't there, and if he had been he would have recognized that Suttle received more than just 'some boos', but he's free to write whatever unsupported facts he wants in his column. Sadly, he must think people believe what he writes.
Kelly's associate, the wacky Robert Nelson, is no better.
Probably the most egregious over-step was the virtual publishing of names of signers of the petitions. While we believe in freedom of the press and believe that the daily had the right to do so we also believe that by doing so they intimidated signers, left them to ridicule and retribution and more importantly probably did more to curtail any future petition efforts than any legislator in Lincoln could have possibly done. One can only wonder whether this paper will do the same on issues they support in the future. Journalistic integrity and the right to free speech should also take into consideration journalistic responsibility which for example is why the paper doesn't publish names of rape victims and juveniles despite the availability of those names on police reports.
Now the paper is encouraging its ever-declining readership to worry about Omaha's reputation because a Wall Street Journal reporter is coming to town to cover the recall effort next week.
The Omaha World-Herald has become a much diminished and much less respectable newspaper by its totally tilted drive to keep a failed, incompetent, arrogant, tone-deaf tax-and-spender in office. It has mobilized all of its resources from the editorial page to its columnists and so-called reporters of the news to abet its publisher's desires. In so doing it has displayed a total lack of journalistic integrity. It should be ashamed of itself. Sadly, this once bastion of reporting and integrity is now best used to line one's bird cage.

NCIS Spoilers: A Love Interest For Gibbs?by Steve Marsi at . Comments
There's no new episode this week, but we do have a Christmas to look forward to on NCIS come December 15. Might Leroy Jethro Gibbs hang up his mistletoe that night?
It looks like it - at least soon, if not that week. Executive producer Shane Brennan tells TV Guide that Mark Harmon's Gibbs is going to have someone to kiss this season!
We haven't seen Gibbs get romantic with a woman since Col. Hollis Mann in Season Four. That drought is about to end, as Brennan says "there is a kiss in Gibbs' future."
This new female will stick around for a while, too. But Gibbs had better watch his back, because Brennan warns her kiss may be "romantic or a Judas kiss." Thoughts?
Looks like NCIS fans will get a glimpse of Gibbs' love life in early 2010.
"It's snowing for our nostalgic Christmas episode on NCIS, with Gibbs, DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) and McGee (Sean Murray) all involved in personal stories," he says.
"For Gibbs, it's the return of his father (Ralph Waite), who has a secret. Something's wrong, and what is discussed will offer insight into the way Gibbs lives his own life."
Speaking of daddy issues, Tony will learn an unexpected truth about the way his dad, Anthony Sr. (Robert Wagner), made a living. As for sparks between Tony and Ziva?
"Status quo," says Brennan. "There won't be any long-term arcs for these two."

Ah come on with those eyes are you kiddin me? This the woman for our Leroy.....
I am appauled.... Last Tuesday's episode ending with Gibbs actually kisssing the dragon lady. She is NOT worthy, what a sarcastic bitch. Come on writers!!!!... what did you have a PA write this??? Gibbs has much better taste than this woman. I am so disappointed. What a let down. its like putting bubble gum on the mona lisa painting. You have ruined the show for me.
I hope Tony's Dad is not a crook. I would hate it if they made his family a bunch of bums.
Oh my gosh, Robert Wagner as Tony's dad. That is awsome, he is a great actor and will fit the part.
Darn, I was hoping it was Ziva Gibbs would be kissing!!!! LOL

The word "bank" typically refers to financial institutions, large and small, from the storefront where you go to cash your checks to the big investment firms of Wall Street. Yet there is a class of banks that deals not with money but with bodily fluids—blood, sperm, and breast milk. These "banks" aren't part of our financial system, but banks they are, nevertheless.
To Kara W. Swanson, author of the new book Banking on the Body, that word is more than "mere metaphor"; it carries with it ideas and consequences for how we perceive the body and its byproducts. "This term, borrowed from financial banking and redolent with implications of markets and cash flows, created the context in which Americans learned to think about body products and in which we developed our contemporary laws governing property in the human body," she writes.
I spoke with Swanson, a professor of law at Northeastern University, to learn more about these banks and the market for our body products. A lightly edited transcript of our conversation follows.
Perhaps you can just start by sketching out a bit of the historical background. Where does the term "banks" first get used to talk about storage of the body's fluids and organs? How has that metaphor evolved over time?
This question was my starting question for the book. Like most of us, I was very familiar with the body "bank," especially the blood bank, but I had never stopped to think about why we called it a "bank"—and the more I thought about that, the odder it seemed to me. What sort of bank goes around begging for donations?
Finding out where that metaphor came from was the easy part. It originated in a very particular historical moment, 1937, in Depression-era Chicago. One doctor, Bernard Fantus, was charged with managing the supply of blood for Cook County Hospital, which was the public hospital in Chicago—it treated those who could not afford to go to public hospitals, and it relied on public funds. In 1937, money was very tight, and the hospital was operating on a shoestring budget.
Blood transfusions in the 1930s had become pretty common and safe (30 years earlier they were neither), but the problem was that they were expensive. Since doctors had begun working in earnest to incorporate them into medical care around the turn of the 20th century, they had relied on paid blood sellers as the most common source of supply. Sometimes they could access volunteers, usually friends or family of the patient who were there at the hospital, but that didn't always work.
Blood transfusion requires matching blood types, and there wasn't always a ready volunteer who had the right blood type. It also took quite a while to test anyone to find out their blood type. By the 1930s, the solution had become "professional-donor" registries. These might be run by a hospital, or free-standing institutions, either for-profit or non-profit. They kept lists of willing blood sellers, who had been pre-screened by a physical exam (most importantly, to make sure they did not have syphilis or malaria, which could be transmitted by blood) and whose blood type had been determined. When a transfusion was needed, a doctor could call the registry, and they would send a "donor" of the correct type. That donor expected payment, and the patient got the bill—a blood transfusion involved a direct sale from a particular professional donor to the patient.
Fantus' patients did not have the money for that bill—usually $25 to $50 dollars. And they often did not have available volunteer donors either. At Cook County, as at other public hospitals around the country, patients were literally dying for lack of blood—deaths that doctors knew could be avoided if blood was available to transfuse them.
This is the context for the introduction of the bank metaphor as a means of understanding body product exchange. Fantus' innovation was to break the direct person-to-person means of getting blood and to reconceive blood for transfusion, that is, blood as a body product, into an abstract unit of credit. He set up a refrigerator full of units of blood.
This seems common sense and ordinary to us today, but it was a big conceptual shift. When a doctor needed blood, he requested a unit of typed blood from the refrigerator—which Fantus came to call his "bank." The innovation was that the doctor needed to replace that blood. But the replacement no longer needed to be immediate, but could be later in time. And the replacement need not match the type of the blood withdrawn. It just needed to be a usable unit of blood (about a pint) that would restock the inventory. Almost any patient, even the indigent, could provide a pint of their own blood once recovered, or find a friend or family member to provide one—when that replacement did not need to be provided at the time of urgent need or match the patient's blood type.
Fantus called his refrigerator a "bank" because he wanted the hospital's doctors to take their repayment obligation very seriously. He told them it "was not a mere metaphor." Just like a bank could only pay out money if it received money (a concept very familiar after all the bank failures of the early 1930s), his "bank" could only have blood available for their patients if they put equal amounts back. It needed to be "balanced."
The metaphor was thus a way of solving a medical problem—how to get this life-saving body product to all patients who needed it, not just those who could afford to buy it? His solution was successful at Cook County, and as soon as he publicized it, doctors all over the country, who hated the idea that patients were dying needlessly, rushed to adopt it. Large urban public hospitals opened "blood banks" in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and after the idea of blood donation became much more publicly understood during the WWII national blood program, blood banks became the ubiquitous feature of hospitals they are today during the late 1940s and 1950s.

At Solulink, MES Buffer is used to prepare the 2-sulfobenzaldehyde (2-SBA) assay reagent for HyNic MSR quantification and in conjugating HyNic-modified peptides to NanoLink 4FB Magnetic Beads.
Solulink's proprietary linker technology is an innovative, catalyzed, UV-traceable, heterobifunctional linker technology that offers greater efficiency and yield in a considerably simpler method for linking any two biomolecules together e.g. proteins, oligos, peptides or surfaces.
- S-HyNic (succinimidyl-6-hydrazino-nicotinamide) linker is conjugated to biomolecule 1 through primary amines (-NH2) on the amino acid, lysine, or on the N-terminus.
- S-4FB (succinimidyl-4-formylbenzamide) linker is conjugated to biomolecule 2 through primary amines (-NH2) on the amino acid, lysine, or on the N-terminus.
- HyNic-modified biomolecule 1 is incubated with 4FB-modified biomolecule 2 in a catalyzed conjugation reaction.
The result is two biomolecules conjugated through a UV-traceable, stable bond (bis-arylhydrazone) with measurable absorbance at 354 nm.

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.

According to Windwing kite designer, Bob Wendler, you can now increase the performance of any inflatable kite! Let's face it, there hasn't been much you could do to modify or improve your kite without getting out the sewing machine and having a lot of know-how, until now. Thanks to Airtimekite.com there is now an exclusive new bladder material that provides an easy way to increase the rigidity and performance of any inflatable kite. This new state-of-the-art bladder material has been tested by the Windwing R&D team and others for over a year, and has proven to work well in both summer and winter conditions. The material is not only about half the weight of traditional bladder material, but is much stiffer. Installing these bladders into your existing kite, not only makes it become much lighter, but the tubes also become much stiffer and no longer require as much air pressure to achieve the rigidity required by most modern kites. Once installed, the old bladders can be saved as back-up bladders for if you crash or pop your kite in some remote location. Windwing offer to install these bladders as an upgrade on any of their new kites. Installing these new Airtime bladders in your kite is well worth the added expense and effort since the gain in performance is very noticeable. You can also contact Airtime for bladders for other brands.

We were looking to take some storm pictures. We came across this fallen tree and stopped to photograph it. Then here came the KVAL truck. He got out in the torrential rain and gusty winds, took some video of the fallen tree and was gone in 4 minutes. He got our car, a gold Buick, and we were on the 5:00 news. 1/2 block off Willamette on about 23rd.

Some say it's the swirling mists that cling to the steep forested slopes sweeping down to the Pacific Ocean that bring British Columbia's ghosts to life. Others claim that the Spirits are lifted from their slumbers by atmospheric moisture that enables their manifestation. Echoes of the long dead, suddenly shrouded in vapors or resplendent in their life-like forms appear and disappear at will. There are no rules when it comes to ghosts.

I am doing a pretty large color study for this painting because I'm not sure if I should retake some photos for this. I want to see if this composition and coloring is going to work for me and how far I can push things past the image I am working from. I think the bright blue painters tape in the image is throwing me off but I'm not sure.
On the right is a rough block in for the color study. I don't care too much about the actual drawing, but more shapes in general.

RECALL: "Elite Operations" Toy Sets sold at Toys R Us
On March 13, 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the "Elite Operations" Toy Sets voluntary recall by Toys "R" Us for lead and laceration hazards.
This is a light and sound military-style play set with vehicles, action figures, and accessories. These sets were sold at Toys "R" Us between January 2006 and early February 2007.
According to the CPSC, "These toys contain high levels of lead in the paint, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. Also, the toys have sharp points, posing a laceration hazard. Consumers should immediately take the toys away from children and return the product to the nearest Toys "R" Us store for full credit."
Models affected by this recall:
- Super Rigs Transport Vehicle (Item # 087286)
- Command Patrol Center Item # 920625)
- Troop Carrier (Item # 773967)

How to Be As Literate As I Is
I recognize that there's a nostril-thinning digital-age snobbery against reading something printed on paper (as opposed to pixeled across a screen) and, even more declasse, actually paying for it, but, believe it or no, not everything written and published is exported online. So what I'm about to recommend requires bestirring yourself to visit a newsstand or bookstore--those lifesized objects moving around are known as 'people'--or taking out a subscription and re-learning the pleasures of delayed gratification.
Par example, some of the contents in the latest issue of Threepenny Review are available for sampling, but not my two favorite contributions--Richard Locke's essay on the DVD release of Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz and, most especially, the short story by Mary Gaitskill entitled "Description." How can I inadequately describe "Description"? Imagine the characters from Old Joy twenty years younger but living in the present and going on a hike while loss and rejection bird-dog their thoughts and chatter. Add to the mix the laconically camouflaged vanities and rivalries of young fictioneers transiting from classroom to bedroom and back again. It's worth picking up Threepenny Review just for it, though there are other goodies inside, along with the usual going-through-the-motions of familiar byliners afeared of breaking an indecorous sweat.
The latest issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine has the heavy-duty politico-macro-eco analysis for which the publication is known--such as Financial Implosion and Stagnation: Back to the Real Economy by John Bellamy Foster and Fred Magdoff--but the article I found most inviting (it's got, like, pictures and everything*) is Jim Straub's "Braddock, Pa.--Out of the Furnace, Into the Fire," which begins:
s far as scenic ruins go, the Pittsburgh metropolitan area sets a high standard. The natural beauty of the Monongahela Valley and the built legacy of deindustrialization make gorgeous scenery out of blue-collar defeat.
Beauty is no compensation for lost jobs though. The old steel towns of this region have been imploding for decades. No place has lost a greater share of its population than Braddock, Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh. This ravaged, near-empty stretch of abandoned homes, storefronts, and buildings was once a storied cornerstone of the industrial age. After losing 90 percent of its peak population, today it looks more like the nightmare at the end of the American Dream.
Unfortunately, that quoted passage is the only part Monthly Review has put on line, so you'll have to find the issue at the nearest B & N or Marxist bookstore in the vicinity to read Straub's full report on the efforts of Braddock's man-mountain mayor John Fetterman to restore jobs, vitality, creativity, and purpose to this post-industrial ghost town, whose devastated cityscape serves as the setting for the opening images of the upcoming film version of Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic The Road. The article itself isn't monochromatically downbeat, but reading it one can't help but wonder if Braddock is much of what the Midwest will look like if the auto industry goes down for the last count.
Closer to home (my home, anyway) is an institution also reeling and hearing the ten count from the referee. I speak of Philoctetes, whose programs I have touted before (it was Philoctetes that hosted the eminent critics' panel of Stanley Kauffmann, Robert Brustein, and Eric Bentley, along with other brainfood events). Like so many other institutions and individuals, Philoctetes finds itself this week in a world of hurt:
A Letter to our Friends
Most of you will have read about recent events surrounding the firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. Regrettably, the foundation that funds all activities at the Philoctetes Center held large investments with Madoff, and the Center's capital and income source has literally vanished overnight.
Philoctetes is trying to raise money from its intellectual parishioners, a daunting prospect at this time of year in this type of economy (the severe recession teetering on depression type), but I'd hate to see Philoctetes splinter and scatter. In a very short time it's established itself as a cultural life-raft in a dead ocean of Duane Reades and bank branches on every overlit corner.

Immigrants in Finland
New media initiatives to reach out to immigrants
The availability of multicultural news and current affairs programmes for immigrants in Finland are so few and far between within the mainstream news channels, immigrants have launched initiatives to plug the gap.
The initiative has given birth to two media channels Panorama television and Monivisio that provide news and current affairs programmes to immigrants either in their mother tongue or in a language that they understand.
Previous programming initiatives by the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) in the 1990s targeting immigrants have been axed with the onset of the economic downturn
The broadcasts of both channels are carried over the internet and cable television as well as on radio. They are multilingual services targeting immigrants who have recently arrived in Finland and therefore are not yet to able follow news in Finnish.

An Amateur Radio Survival Guide for Linux Users
Maintaining a Linux-only household is getting easier every day. The large number of people working to port or re-implement desktop and general-use software from other operating environments helps keep the progress going. Enjoying a hobby that is mostly dominated by Windows users is, unfortunately, not nearly as easy. The Amateur Radio culture is one of experimentation and going against the mainstream, but the relatively small number of people pushing innovation are doing so on their platform of choice or comfort, which usually means Windows. As a result, many applications are not available for Linux.
In this article, I cover some of the basic tasks that a Linux user venturing into the world of Amateur Radio might be interested in doing without undergoing a significant lifestyle change. First, here's a quick vocabulary lesson for those not familiar with some common radio terms.
The HF (High Frequency) bands are frequencies between about 1.8MHz and 30MHz, starting just above the US AM broadcast radio band. Signals on these frequencies are capable of traveling around the globe, thanks to the upper ionosphere. If you want to talk to another country, these are the bands for you.
The VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) bands are frequencies above 30MHz up to about 3GHz. Signals in this range propagate in an increasingly line-of-sight manner and, thus, are mostly useful for local area (VHF) and very short range (UHF) communication. However, these frequencies also provide an opportunity for increased bandwidths and data rates, which is why Wi-Fi sits at the upper range (2.4GHz).
One popular activity on HF is "contesting", which involves making long-distance contacts to achieve some sort of goal. This usually involves making as many contacts to different places as possible in a certain period of time. Because it is a contest, some sort of log is needed to record the contacts you make for later submission. Because Amateur Radio operators use call signs to identify each other, most logging software helps identify people you've already "worked" to avoid duplication.
The Xlog program for Linux provides basic contest log functionality, including duplicate checking. It also can interface to your radio via a serial port to record other bits of information about a contact automatically, such as mode, signal strength and frequency. Each contest specifies a different piece (or pieces) of information that must be exchanged between operators, so Xlog has some configurable fields to help with that task (Figure 1).
Another very popular activity on the HF bands is operating the slow-speed digital modes. Some of these modes, such as RTTY (radioteletype), predate modern digital computers. Others, like PSK31 (phase shift keying, 31 baud), are fairly recent inventions that use advanced signal processing to their advantage. Although external hardware (digital and analog) previously was used to operate these modes, it now is very common to use a modern soundcard to encode and decode the signal, much like a modem does for a telephone line.
The most common application for doing this sort of work on Linux today is called Fldigi. With a soundcard, serial port and some interfacing to your radio, you can transmit and receive these digital signals without any significant expense. The Fldigi software supports a large number of operating modes, allowing you to communicate via keyboard-to-keyboard text with other amateur operators around the world.
In addition to conversing directly in real time with other amateurs, you also can use Fldigi to record and report the signals it hears in an autonomous fashion. By leaving your radio on the standard PSK31 calling frequency, Fldigi will listen for and report the call signs and locations it hears to a public database. This is very valuable information when comparing the stations other locals are hearing, given the differences between your locations, antennas and so on. It also gives you an idea of what time of day signals from a particular part of the globe are reaching you, in case you want to contact someone in a specific place. If you're interested in this sort of operation, check out the live map (see Resources) to find out who is hearing whom right now.
Although it may seem quaint and obsolete, if you've never had a half-duplex text conversation at 31 baud with someone on the other side of the world, you don't know what you're missing—double that if you've ever done it with nothing more than a battery, a radio and a piece of wire hung in a tree!
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.
