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.

text: Sponsoring 'Online Performance' at the region's No.1 business awards. 09:29 on Wed, 13 Jun 2012 | 3 Comments Further is proud to announce it will be sponsoring again at the EDP Business Awards 2012. Last year, we made our debut as sponsors at the EDP Business Awards with the first award ever to promote online business in the eastern region. The 'eCommerce Effectiveness' Award was deemed such a success that Further has decided to take up sponsorship again - but this time round the category has been widened to include all businesses deploying online marketing effectively rather than simply the eCommerce sector. Hence the new title of 'Online Performance' award. Other sponsors this year include Anglian Water (headline sponsor), Barclays, May Gurney, Grant Thornton, New Anglia LEP, AF (Anglia Farmers) and Greater Anglia trains. There are ten categories for companies and organisations to enter, and entries are now open at www.edpbusinessawards.co.uk. The glittering awards evening with take place at the Holiday Inn Norwich North on Thursday 8th November. As John Thew, Further MD explains "Our association with the EDP Business Awards goes back four years, when we were a first time entrant and were thrilled to take home the 'Best New Business' Award, so we know what a credible and prestigious event it is - and indeed how helpful it can be for business and networking." "Last year, Mattressman deservedly walked away with the Further-sponsored 'eCommerce Effectiveness' award. This year, we felt it would be good to widen the category to enable local businesses large or small, mature or start-up, to showcase how they're deploying online activity to raise their game." We encounter many innovative responses to these challenging times, in the course of our work, so we're looking forward to some fascinating entries." John continues. "No matter what type of business your are, we urge you to look at the criteria and put yourselves forward for the 'Online Performance' award. It may be the region's no.1 business event, but we're looking for outstanding performance rather than scale so please get involved. Entry is completely free. So what have you got to lose?"

The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life.Oscar Wilde
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind.William Shakespeare
Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.Alexandre Dumas Pčre
The suspicious mind believes more than it doubts. It believes in a formidable and ineradicable evil lurking in every person.Eric Hoffer
We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding, the confidence, and the courage which flow from conviction.Franklin D. Roosevelt
A lock is better than suspicion..Irish Sayings
Suspicion is a heavy armor and with its weight it impedes more than it protects.Robert Burns
Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just. It is no friend to virtue, and always an enemy to happiness.Hosea Ballou
Suspicion is a mental picture seen through an imaginary keyhole.Unknown
Suspicion is the courageous side of weakness.Unknown
My body has certainly wandered a good deal, but I have an uneasy suspicion that my mind has not wandered enough.Noel Coward
I love friends, I want more friends. I love smiles. That is a fact. How to develop smiles? There are a variety of smiles. Some smiles are sarcastic. Some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smiles. These smiles do not produce satisfaction, but rather fear or suspicion. But a genuine smile gives us hope, freshness. If we want a genuine smile, then first we must produce the basis for a smile to come.Dalai Lama
There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots - suspicion.Demosthenes
Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; the thief doth fear each bush an officer.William Shakespeare
The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth. The second is that he shall suppress nothing that is true. Moreover, there shall be no suspicion of partiality in his writing, or of malice.Marcus Tullius Cicero
Suspicion is not less an enemy to virtue than to happiness; he that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt.Samuel Johnson
Suspicion is most often useless pain.Samuel Johnson
Suspicions which may be unjust need not be stated.Abraham Lincoln
There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.Rod Serling
My own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.John B. S. Haldane
If suspicion was the deadliest possible insult, then trust was always right, even if it was mistaken.Lois McMaster Bujold

Sensuous Georgian Blue Enamel Ring ca. 1790
Quite in keeping with the style of today with large proportions and dramatic flair, this 18th century ring makes its own statement. An old mine cut diamond set in silver is perfectly centered within a field of the trademark cobalt blue translucent enamel of the years 1780s through about 1800.
Neoclassical designs were in style, geometry dominated jewelry and enamels were much preferred over precious gems. The front is framed with runs of white and blue enamel accented with tiny gold dots and narrow bands of 15k yellow gold. Curved shoulders encase the finger with a sensuous embrace as each transitions into a smooth shank. Accompanied by an antique English box not original to the ring. An exceptional example for its size and condition. Perfect for a man or woman.
Date: Circa 1790.
Measurements: 7/8 of an inch (2.3 cm) in width and rises 3/8 of an inch (1.0 cm) in height off the finger. Weight of 5.7 grams (3.7 dwt).
Ring Size: US 8 (UK P-1/2; Euro or Int. Circum. 56.9 mm; Int. Dia. 18.1 mm; Japan 16) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent; minute wear to the enamel visible with a loupe.
Origin: English.

Bruins grabs upper hand, 3-2 series lead
Boston scored during two of its four power-play opportunities and won Game 5 of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals, 4-2, at TD Garden. The Bruins entered the contest scoreless in eight power-play chances during their first four playoff games against Montreal.
Carl Soderberg, Reilly Smith, Jarome Iginla and Loui Eriksson scored for the Bruins, who led 1-0 after 20 minutes and 3-1 entering the third. Soderberg also had two assists in the victory.
Boston broke things open by scoring two power-play goals in a 32-second span early in the second period. Smith made it a 2-0 game when the puck deflected off his skate and past Montreal goaltender Carey Price (30 saves) at 1:04, and Iginla increased the Bruins' lead to 3-0 at 1:36. Both goals came with Montreal's Tomas Plekanec in the penalty box with separate minor penalties.
Montreal defenseman P,K. Subban scored to make it a 4-2 game at 17:31 of the third. Subban leads all defenseman in playoff scoring with 12 points (four goals).
The Bruins collected the only goal in a first period that featured six power plays (three for each team). Soderberg scored from the left faceoff circle at 13:20. It was an even-strength goal, and his first career playoff goal. The assists went to Eriksson and Matt Bartkowski.

Google goes to war on sites that criticize Google policies and Microsoft
Last week a flurry of articles popped up showing that Microsoft had sent improper DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) take down notices claiming infringing material on sites that criticized their new Metro (or not Metro) UI. The move appeared to be done in order to directly harm these sites search rating. Some of the sites affected were Betanews.com, ngohq.com, gHacks.com, Hardware Canuck.com Technize.com and more. It was a very unusual move, but one that we predicted after Google changed their search algorithm to reduce site's search rankings after "valid" DMCA takedown notices were received.
Google closes the free version of Google Apps
Google Apps ,The combination of Google cloud applications intended for group working under a user's domain, has so far been available to users as both a free (Google Apps Standard Edition) and commercial variety (Google Apps for Business). Google has now decided to put an end to this so they canceled the free option. Individuals can still open up free Google App accounts, but you simply cannot setup one and attach it to a registerd domain name any more, at least not without paying.
Is Microsoft Making Google and Apple Nervous with Windows 8?
So Microsoft is on a push to get out as much information as they can about Windows 8. This new operating system represents a massive change for Microsoft and not just in the way the new OS will function, but also in the manner they are interacting with the public. This is evident in almost everything they are doing, from the building Windows 8 Blog to the public statements, demos and interviews that are happening frequently.
Apple Moves to Cut Off Google's Glass Project With Thier Own Device... Um We Mean Patent.
"We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours." This is the boilerplate statement that Apple makes in every patent case they are involved in. It is a message that the company claims time and time again. Even Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, says this about Apple. However, the statement is probably one of the biggest myths that the company perpetrates on the consumer and one that is finally coming to light as more and more consumers and even the media are starting to report on the number of times Apple has patented technology AFTER someone else invented it.
Judge Lucy Koh Grants Another Ban To Apple Apparently Without Doing ANY Research on the Matter
Someone needs to send some of the Apple lawyers back to preschool where they find shapes that are the same and get to pick out colors as well. We are frankly getting sick of Judges bowing to Apple's request for outright bans on products because they claim that they "look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging". It simply does not hold up under even the most cursory examination. The latest after a ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for possibly infringing on a SINGLE PATNET is they have been awarded one for on the Galaxy Nexus.
Mark Zuckerberg Dashes Facebook Phone Rumors During Earnings Call...
Well looks like we were close to the mark with our comments this morning about a Facephone. If you remember we had talked about the rumors that continually popup about this legendary device and some of the "indicators" that have had analysts and journalists even claiming to know when one would launch. So far we have heard everything from it will be Nokia/Microsoft effort to an HTC/Android product. The problem was that most guesses about this were based on the simple fact that Facebook hired people from Apple and Palm. What they did not do was really look at what those people did and what they are doing at Facebook.
CA/Browser Forum Changes Will Break Many Existing Networks
We have a new winner of the "what were they thinking award" the CA/Browser Forum have won this one by changing the way that certificates are issued. Normally such changes are not intrusive and are intended to ensure better security for users. However, in this case the changes published in July of this year (and set to take effect in November 2015) will probably break a significant number of corporate networks simply because the changes are in direct opposition to the best practices that Microsoft and many others have been recommending for years. This is the practice of separating internal and external domain names for security and identification. The CA/Browser Forum announced back in July that they are going to put an end to this practice by November 2015.
Cloud Computing Is Not All Blue Skies, There Are Storms Ahead Amid Privacy and Security Concerns
Earlier today we talked about how AMD's Rory Read is looking to cloud based services to help overcome the lack of processing power available to AMD's APUs (and other CPUs moving forward) in that article we talked (very briefly) about some of the concerns that are keeping people out of cloud based services. Although one that is commonly talked about is privacy the other (and perhaps even more important) is security.
Changing the conversation about Privacy, Surveillance, and Pushing SSL
DEF CON 22, Las Vegas, NV 2014 - Yesterday at DEF CON we had the chance to listen to Christopher Soghoian, Principal Technologist, American Civil Liberties Union talk about the state of the surveillance state and how we can help fight against it. Of course you might think that his talk would be about the use of spy proof technologies, but oddly enough very little of that was talked about except to make it clear that talk of spy-proof technology makes people in Washington nervous.
NBC Univseral Asks Google to Delist Mega Over A Single Title - Google Says No
In something of an unprecedented move NBC Universal and Warner Bothers Music have asked that Google delist the entire Mega website over copyright concerns. Now requesting that a link that points to copyrighted material be removed from Google, Bing, or any other search engine is nothing new and not, in itself, a big deal. However this is not a simple request to remove a single copy of a movie or song, it is asking for the WHOLE site to be delisted. This type of wholesale delisting ignores the fact that while there might indeed be copyrighted files on Mega's servers there are others that are completely legal including movies and music from independent artists that use Mega as a sharing platform. It highlights the claims by some that the argument against Mega and Megaupload before that is not about actual copyright, but about the service and the threat is could pose to the copyright industry.

Upon the recommendation of the Provost, I approve the deletion of the Intercultural Studies Pattern and the Urban Economic Geography Pattern from the General Geography Option. The number of units required for the Cartography/GIS pattern has been increased from 18 to 24 units. The number of required units in the Core has been reduced from 27 to 18 units. The total number of units required for this major has been reduced from 45-57 to 36-54. These changes are effective Fall 1997.

NYT Profits Plummet 21 Percent (FishbowlNY)
As usual, the New York Times' earnings report features both good and bad news. While the Times' digital subscriptions continued to grow, the lack of print ad dollars weighed the paper down. HuffPost / AP The New York Times Co. on Tuesday reported earnings that declined by 54 percent in its second quarter, and missed analysts' expectations. The New York-based company said net income declined to $9.2 million, or 6 cents per share, from $20.1 million, or 13 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier. Financial Times Adjusted operating profit, which strips out some one-time items including retirement costs and depreciation, fell 21 percent to $55.7 million. A fall in advertising sales and stepped-up investment in digital products sapped second-quarter profit at the Times as the publisher forecast flat circulation revenue and further declines in advertising in the coming months. Poynter / MediaWire The Times added 32,000 digital subscribers in the second quarter of 2014. The number was driven by its new products — the NYT Now and NYT Opinion apps and the new Times Premier subscription tier. Paid digital-only subscribers now total 831,000, the company said. Revenue from those subscriptions jumped 13.5 percent, to $41.7 million, from the same period a year ago. Total circulation revenue increased 1.4 percent. Mashable During the quarter, the company's flagship newspaper fired top editor Jill Abramson and replaced her with former managing editor Dean Baquet. A Times spokesperson said at the time that Arthur Sulzberger Jr., publisher of the Times and chairman of The New York Times Company, was spurred by a desire to change how the newsroom was managed.

Dear Sponsor – Current and Prospective:
Greetings from Telluride, Colorado—home of Mountainfilm. I welcome your interest in our organization. In this brochure you can find out key information both about the various parts and pieces of our organization and about the benefits of your sponsorship.
We have tried to apply all the art and science necessary to entice you, but it would be misleading not to caution you that we may not make perfect partners. Looking for a large, sophisticated operator with universal appeal and deep market penetration? Don't bother to read on. We are not big. We are not slick. We are not a household name. And when we think of impressions, we don't automatically think in terms of branding your name and logo or of how many sets of eyes are absorbing them. We think of impressions as the affect of powerful stories on thoughtful audiences brought to life by finely crafted images on a screen and of the lasting memories that come from a deep dialogue with passionate artists, activists and adventurers. We have always been small, homegrown, unique and a little crazy. Now approaching our fourth decade, there are no plans to become very different.
Our audiences at both the Memorial Day weekend festival and for our world tour are diverse in age and background but are united in their enthusiasm for the message we convey and the meaning we impart. There has never been a time when our mission statement has held more resonance with more people than it does today. Even as social, political, cultural and environmental crises proliferate, Mountainfilm provides a vision that is stable, clear, intelligent and powerful.
If you are intrigued by that vision, we should certainly explore the sponsorship options and opportunities. I look forward to that possibility.
—Sage Martin, Mountainfilm Executive Director

George Monbiot: Heat
George Monbiot – Guardian columnist, environmentalist – is probably not the man to persuade the doubters of the existence, and emergency, of global warming. But then, anyone not persuaded by now – when the governments of even the most carbon-puffing countries recognise the importance of taking action immediately – simply doesn't want to be. Perhaps this is why Penguin have issued the paperback of Monbiot's Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning in a jaunty, cheesy, eye-catching cover, which looks more like an advert for a book than a book itself.
And although Monbiot's main case is to show how we can reasonably and relatively painlessly make a 90% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 – the figure he calculates is needed to prevent significant climatic catastrophe – he does use the first two chapters to hammer home the argument for action once again. All the old deniers' myths – atmospheric cooling, advancing glaciers, mini ice ages – are exploded, and Monbiot sums the position up as follows:
If you reject this explanation for planetary warming, you should ask yourself the following questions:
1. Does the atmosphere contain carbon dioxide?
2. Does atmospheric carbon dioxide raise the average global temperature?
3. Will this influence be enhanced by the addition of more carbon dioxide?
4. Have human activities led to a net emission of carbon dioxide?
If you are able to answer 'no' to any of them, you should put yourself forward for a Nobel prize. You will have turned science on its head.
He also reminds us that the link between manmade carbon emissions and global warming is as well established as the links between smoking and cancer, and HIV and Aids, and we learn that the former is relevant, as it was the tobacco industry in the early 1990s, seeking to disguise its funding of 'junk science' organisations by broadening their scope, which was in the vanguard of climate change denial.
But the majority of the book is a number-crunching attempt to evaluate which, if any, alternatives to our current lifestyle choices will best meet his target of 90% carbon reduction. The fields he covers (and his general conclusions) are:
- Home energy (jerry-builders bad, passivhauses good, but while we're waiting for them, pay attention to energy ratings)
- Electricity generation (offshore wind good, domestic turbines pointless – are you listening, David Cameron? – and a qualified approval for gas-fuelled power stations provided they use carbon capture and storage technology)
- Transport (luxury coaches like on-road Tube trains approved, biodiesel bad, hydrogen fuel cells nice idea but not anytime soon: the essence of the problem is that "When you drive, society becomes an obstacle")
- Air travel (a lot of flailing around – "Becoming rather desperate now, I have looked into airships…" – before concluding that there is no simple answer. We must simply stop flying "unless you believe that these activities are worth the sacrifice of the biosphere and the lives of the poor. But I urge you to remember that these privations affect a tiny proportion of the world's people. The reason they seem so harsh is that this tiny proportion almost certainly includes you")
- Retail waste (online shopping, combined with local produce, reduces packaging and the need for brightly lit and vigorously heated/refrigerated superstores)
- Organisation and activism: www.stopclimatechaos.org, www.coinet.org.uk, www.campaigncc.org and other better known environmental groups
Monbiot is not wide-eyed with innocence, and never hesitates to dismiss an otherwise attractive scheme when he encounters problems with it. And the book is furiously researched, with over 1,000 references in the 200 or so pages of the body of the text.
Nonetheless there are moments of either oversight or doubtful intention, such as his reliance on per-capita emissions where elsewhere he derides others who use relative measurements, insisting that absolute figures are the only appropriate ones to use. Still, if this isn't the most enjoyable or aesthetically thrilling book you read all year, it might well be the most important. "For," as Monbiot concludes, "the campaign against climate change is an odd one. Unlike almost all the public protests which have preceded it, it is a campaign not for abundance but for austerity. It is a campaign not for more freedom but for less. Strangest of all, it is a campaign not just against other people, but also against ourselves."

John – A subject dear to my heart. Will make proper comment as and when broadband / internet cafes permit.
Good review, but one small point: per-capita emissions are not relative.
Yes, we have to accept the idea of global warming – the evidence is overwhelming. My problem is how the 90% carbon reduction can be achieved by ad hoc, individual efforts rather than a global strategy by national governments. Particularly when consumption of just about everything – oil, electricity, water, cars, planes, gadgets – goes relentlessly up. Even the most prodigious measures by Mr and Mrs Worried are just whistling in the dark unless the whole "bigger and better" mentality is halted.
Painless Reduction in Carbon by 80%
(Another Inconvenient Truth ©)
We have now produced a section in the Internet Public Library on the "Painless Reduction in Carbon by 80%".
This explains in fairly plain terms how this (painless 80% reduction) can easily and quickly be achieved.
We are trying to promote some joined up thinking between the different energy camps including Government.

The AAG, through the Enhancing Departments and Graduate Education (EDGE) project funded by NSF, announces a grant program to support outreach, professional training, and related activities aimed at improving [student] awareness of and preparation for business, government, and nonprofit careers in geography.
Twenty-four awards of $500 are available and will be granted on a competitive basis to support activities that address one or more of the following priority areas of the AAG's EDGE project.
Examples of what activities might be covered is telling; I can think of probably a dozen people I know who should submit proposals:
- Organizing a professional development workshop at an AAG regional or annual meeting;
- Planning an outreach event in collaboration with a careers center on a school or university campus with significant numbers of underrepresented students;
- Preparing a proposal for an undergraduate or graduate course, seminar, instructional module or webinar on professional development in geography;
Applications are due July 1 for acitivities planned for Sept 2012-July 2013.
Norman Oklahoma is putting "GPS radios" in its school busses. That way school officials can track them and hopefully adjust routes if tornados pop up as one did earlier this year while students were being dropped off at bus stops. One problem still remains that was not addressed in the $25,000 purchase:
But, 24 minutes after the release, the twister hit. The district says communication with buses was iffy.
I hope someone is thinking about that problem, too. It's unclear how these new radios work or how it will make them more likey to function when cell towers are down.

Bigfork High School (Montana), its cave club and its GIS program are in the news again. GIS, last year only taught to high schoolers will now be taught to seventh graders.
Sadly, GIS software is still considering difficult:
"The software is very difficult to learn," Rea said. "We try to break it down for them."
Denny Rea introduced GIS to the Cave Club, who many met after a few students presented at Esri UC in 2010.
