Flights to Bangkok
Airports in Bangkok
Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, is one of the most popular tourist hotspots in the world. In fact, it's second only to London in terms of international visitors. You can book cheap flights to Bangkok with the help of Orbitz.com. Use the powerful Orbitz.com search engine to find exactly the bargain you're looking for. Bangkok is serviced by two major airports: Don Mueang and the recently opened Suvarnabhumi for all international air traffic. Suvarnabhumi Airport is about 20 miles east of the city center. Dozens of international airlines arrive and depart from the modern and state-of-the-art Suvarnabhumi Airport.
Transportation From the Airport
Because Suvarnabhumi is so massive, a shuttle bus service is available to deliver passengers to the car rental center, city bus terminal or long-term parking area. Public taxis charge a 50-bhat airport surcharge. Depending on the traffic conditions, traveling into the city center can take an hour or longer. A public bus service provides transport to several important locales within the city. Bus fare is 35 baht.
Weather in Bangkok
Bangkok has a hot, tropical climate. High temperatures throughout the year hover around 90 degrees. The summer monsoon brings several feet of rain, while the dry winter months may see little or no rain for extended periods.
Things to Do in Bangkok
Two main attractions draw international tourists to Bangkok every year. One is the famous nightlife. Bangkok has an exotic flair that appeals to younger travelers. On the other hand, the hundreds of ancient Buddhist relics and monument offer cultural attractions for the more relaxed, meditative travelers. When you start your trip by searching for cheap flights to Bangkok on Orbitz.com, you'll have the luxury of taking your time exploring this metropolis.

So far all the guests in the flat have been very nice, interesting, responsible and very respectful of one another. I believe that they have all enjoyed their stay. The apartment is maintain daily to a high standard.
The flat is about 400 meters from New Cross Station, which gives you access to the Overground and the mainline railway (Note: the Overground is connected to the tube/underground - it just runs over ground - all tickets are valid). Deptford Bridge Station is even closer. From here the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) will take you to Greenwhich and Canary Wharf.
There are also numerous buses, which pass New Cross Road and go straight to central London, including several night buses, so you can always get home no matter what time of night! You can be in Trafalgar Square (by train) in just 15 minutes. The vibrant and eclectic area of Shoreditch is also just 15 minutes on the Overground. The location is ideal for any tourist or person working in central London!
In the local area you will find everything you need for a great stay; there are 24 hour food shops, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, bars and the famous Deptford Market all within walking distance of the flat. The flat is very close to Goldsmith University campus, so could be an ideal base if you are visiting the university for a conference.
The apartment is really convenient if you are visiting the Olympic games this summer. It is just 10 minutes by bus to Greenwich were a number of events are taking place, and just 20 minutes to the stadium at Stratford, via the Overground and Jubilee Line.
Guest may use the kitchen on the following conditions:
They wash up all dishes, cutlery, pots and pans
They clean the cooker, hob, all work surfaces and table
They sweep the floor or any crumbs.
They return all utensils to their original place.
They put all rubbish in the bins at the entrance to the building.
Shower: Guests are asked to leave the shower in a clean and fresh state.
Toilet: Guests are asked to leave the toilet in a hygienic and fresh state.
Bedroom: Guests are asked to wear house shoes in the bedroom and the rest of the house.
Guests are asked to refrain from playing music before 10am and after 10pm.
Guests are reminded that smoking is not permitted in any part of the property. This includes the bedroom and smoking at the bedroom window. Anyone found to have smoked in the property will be asked to leave.
Guests are asked to remove all litter and rubbish from their room at least one a day
Please note that guests are not permitted to have others staying with them in the room. If a guests wants someone to stay over at any point the guest should agree this with Sidney before. There is an extra charge for this. Please ask for more information.
Also note that smoking is not permitted anywhere in the building. Please do not violate this.

We've been staying in this flat for three nights with our family of 4 people. The kids had comfortable mattresses and the bed in the other room was very comfortable as well. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and had a great time! The fact that we could securely park our car although we were really central was especially positive. We loved to go into the city by bus, there were several bus stops close to the flat. Sidney was very friendly and helpful and he managed to meet us immediately when we came in! Thanks again! Altogether, we would love to come again some day, it's been a perfect stay- only too short! :)
The location is okay for London. It's just 200 m from New Cross Gate Station and you get to the Centre quite easily. If you expect to be closer to the City you will have to pay more.
We didn't meet Sidney but with the key instructions it was easy to get into the appartment. We had the Asian room with 3 people which was okay.
Not okay was the fact that there is just one single toilet and one single shower for more than 10 people. And you just need one person who doesn't clean up after using the toilet/the shower and the whole place becomes really disgusting. We had that problem and therfore wish that the facilites would be looked after/cleaned more often.
The room was not as quiet as the descritption would suggest but a look at the map and google street view showed us before that the house is located at a big road so we didn't expect it too quiet.
Would we recommend this appartment? In general yes for all those who need a place to sleep in London and know about the fact that you share a single toilet and single shower with 12 other people and don't care (you might be lucky and have other travellers who are clean, you might be less lucky - as we were - and live there with travellers who are not quite as clean as you wish).
We stayed in the presidential suite, which was a big room, with a double bed, a couch and table with chairs. While most of the stuff was obviously ikea stuff it was more than sufficient for the few nights we spent there. Unfortunately the room was next to a busy road with a lot of sirenes. I found it quite hard to sleep there. I recommend getting another room at this place. I also recommend reading the key instructions carefully ;)
We (family with 2 girls) can recommend this apartment, which is located in a quiet neighborhood near the river Thames. There is a bus stop near by as well as a grocery. Sidney is a very friendly host, who waited patiently until 3 a.m. (our flight was delayed almost 3 hours) to give us the keys and provide useful Information on how to get around etc. We enjoyed our stay very much and would certainly come again!
We stayed here 3 nights in July 2014. The appartment is very well located, near the train station with good communication to the centre. The street is very quiet, also at night. The bathroom is ok, although I would suggest changing the shower curtain when little black spots appear. The kitchen is outdated, but everythings works, so it's functional. I can certainly recommend this place when you want to visit London for a couple of days and you are looking for a basic place to stay.
nice location, good price-performance ratio, we will come back again
Super Place for trips to the city,
shops and great communication
kitchen, bathroom, clean rooms
wifi, washing machine
thx Sidney
we had a nice holiday! the flat is very beautiful and clean.
it it not far from tower brige, about 20 minutes
Had a nice stay in London.
The flat is a bit outside but with a very good connection to the city via overground/underground and bus.
The room, presidential suite, was good. Very big, but too noisy, because of the street and with a lot of sirens because of a hospital nearby. Could hardly sleep there.
Would prefer another room next time, much smaller but to the back, there you don't here anything of the traffic. ;-)
The shower is very small but works fine, the toilet with a bin is separate which is very good since there are five rooms which have to spare them.
(The flat was well booked as we arrived, but there wasn't a problem about queuing in front of the bath anytime.)
The kitchen can be used, you have your own space in the fridge and there are enough plates and stuff.
Would book a room again, but next time one that faces the back. ;-)
We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything was as expected and the room had a perfect size for four persons. We never got to meet Sidney, but he was very helpful upon our arrival. It was easy finding the place and the keys, and we enjoyed very much that we could take bus number 453, which stops near almost all of the citys biggest attractions, directly from just outside the apartment. That made everything very easy and convenient.
I would definitively reccomend this place to anyone else going to London.

The present invention relates generally to dental prostheses, and more particularly, to an attachment device for removable partial dentures and a method of affixing the attachment device within an oral cavity.
In the replacement of several teeth within the mouth, it is often desirable to use a removable partial denture. The removable partial denture is indicated where the arrangement of remaining teeth in the oral cavity cannot support a fixed partial denture. To be retained in position while in use in the wearer's mouth, the partial bridge must be anchored in some manner within the mouth, and is generally removably attached to the remaining teeth.
In the past, two basic types of anchoring attachments have been used. First, extracoronal attachments on the denture, such as clasps, have been used to grip around remaining, abutting natural teeth. In this type of attachment, clasps are provided on the portion of the partial denture closest to the remaining teeth when mounted. In use, the clasps tightly grip the abutment teeth to maintain the connection between the partial denture and abutment teeth, and hold the denture in place. This type of attachment, however, has a particularly unsatisfactory cosmetic appearance, as the clasps, which wrap around the abutment teeth, are visible and unsightly. As an alternative to such extracoronal attachments, many intracoronal attachments have been proposed and used. This type of attachment requires a first member, to be permanently affixed to an abutment tooth, and a complementary second member, releasably interlockable with the first member, mounted on the partial denture. The connecting members are mounted on the partial denture. The connecting members are mounted in their respective positions, generally in close relationship, on abutting surfaces of the abutment tooth and partial denture. This type of connector is much more cosmetically acceptable but the attachment of an extracoronal attachment connector member to the abutment tooth is a difficult procedure. This type of attachment has heretofore required the construction of a crown over the abutment tooth. To make such a crown requires that an otherwise healthy tooth be ground down and reduced in size so that a crown containing the appropriate connector member may be cemented on the remains of the tooth to support the connector member and replace, cosmetically and functionally, the now-destroyed tooth.
The described procedure results in the destruction of an otherwise healthy tooth. Installation of intracoronal attachments is considered a costly and difficult type of dental treatment. Once completed, the destroyed tooth structure cannot be recovered. Additionally, the crowned tooth is still not as cosmetically appealing as an intact natural tooth.
Recent work in the area of fixed partial dentures and tooth replacement has resulted in a new type of restorative method, known as the Acid Etched Resin Bonded Retainer Technique. This method of restoration involves the resin bonding of a framework carrying replacement teeth, to abutting teeth, with a minimum of tooth removal. Thus, fixed partial denture bridges may be permanently attached to the remaining teeth, without the use of crowns, and the concurrent destruction of healthy teeth.
The present invention overcomes the problems inherent in the prior art attachments, and provides an attachment which is cosmetically appealing, requires no tooth destruction, and provides for secure positioning of the removable partial denture, that is economical to manufacture and install in an oral cavity.
In accordance with the present invention, a removable partial denture attachment is provided by a first member having a connector portion and a contoured mounting element resin bonded to an abutment in the oral cavity, a complementary second member interengaging with the first member on the removable partial denture to maintain the disposition of the denture in an oral cavity.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the complementary members of the connecting pair are also constructed as to allow for freedom of movement at the interengaging portions to prevent destructive stress on the resin bonded connection.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, one of the members is a generally elongated, slotted tube disposed generally vertically and perpendicularly with respect to the gingival portion of the oral cavity, in the partial denture, and extending substantially into the denture, and of a length which precludes impingement in the vertical direction on the connector portion when vertical forces are exerted on the partial denture.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the invention, the connector portion is ball shaped for slidable insertion into the female slotted tube, whereby the joint allows substantial rotational movement in the lateral direction, slidable movement in the vertical direction, and combinations of rotational and slidable movements.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the second member may be of a plastic material, and be removably insertable within a processed mounting cavity in the partial denture, to provide for replacement of the second member upon wear or damage.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method for mounting a partial denture attachment appliance within an oral cavity is provided including the steps of providing a male form member to make a member with an attachment contoured to the shape of an abutment and suitable for bonding to the face thereof; preparing the abutment and attachment portion for bonding; bonding the attachment portion to the abutment; and providing a female receiving member in a partial denture, the female receiving member having a suitable shape and location to be removably interlockable with the male member when the partial denture is operationally inserted into the oral cavity.
In accordance with yet another aspect of the present invention, a kit is provided comprising a first member form for forming a first member adapted to be bonded to an abutment and a second member for insertion into partial denture to receive said first member in an interengaging fashion.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a removable partial denture attachment in an oral cavity allowing a secure fit, a minimum of tooth destruction and a pleasing cosmetic appearance.
Another object of the invention is provision of a removable partial denture attachment having a male member bonded extracoronally to an abutment within the oral cavity, and a complementary female member provided in a partial denture.
Another object of the invention is to provide a male member and complementary female member suitable for use in a bonded attachment. In accordance with this object, the ball shaped male member is provided for insertion into a tube shaped receiving portion of the female member to provide for slidable vertical motion, and rotational lateral motion, or combination thereof, between the members, thereby minimizing the mechanical stresses on the connection.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method for mounting a removable partial denture attachment appliance in an oral cavity and on a partial denture, which provides both for a permanent attachment within the oral cavity, and an easily replaceable attachment structure in the removable partial denture.
Another object of the invention is that the first member may be formed by either a precious or non-precious metal.
Another object of the invention is to provide a kit from which such a partial denture attachment may be made.
These and other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description used to illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention and read in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:

Referring now to the drawings, wherein the showings are for the purpose of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention only and not for the purpose of limiting the same, FIGS. 1 and 2 shown a plurality of teeth T, a gingival portion of G and a removable partial denture D to be removably attached to teeth T by male member M on teeth T and female member F and the partial denture D.
Natural teeth T are embedded in the gingival portion G of an oral cavity and are generally comprised of several adjacent teeth grouped together. The tooth to which the device will be attached at either end of the group of teeth is referred to as abutment tooth A, which will form the anchoring point for the partial denture D.
Partial denture D is generally comprised of two denture portions 8, each having a saddle portion 10, denture teeth 12, and a direct retainer 14. Each side is generally similar, so that only one side will be discussed. The saddle portions 10 have a generally contoured and concave seat to fit the gingival portion G of the oral cavity, where natural teeth have been removed. Denture teeth 12 are teeth substitutes, simulating the original, removed teeth in form and function to as great an extent as possible, and provide a denture abutment tooth 15 facing abutment tooth A. Direct retainer 14 joins the two denture portions 8 across an interior side 18 of the natural teeth T in the oral cavity, thereby forming a single unit which is too large to be swallowed by the wearer. These elements are typical of removable partial dentures and, while not forming a novel part of the invention, demonstrate the environment in which the invention is used.
FIGS. 3 and 4 best demonstrate the orientation of the novel partial denture attachment in conjunction with its environment. Male member M has a mounting portion 32, a shaft member 34, and a connector ball member 36. The mounting portion 32 has a mounting face 38 generally contoured in shape corresponding to the face 40 of the abutment tooth A to which it will be permanently affixed. Connector ball member 36 is generally spherical in shape having a portion thereof cut off and attached to the shaft member 34, which connects the connector ball member 36 to the mounting portion 32. Shaft member 34 is generally cylindrical in configuration.
While it may be recognized that the male member M must be generally of a size suitable for use in the wearer's oral cavity, variations in size are possible. In practice, the spherical portion of the connector ball member 36 has a diameter approximately 0.067" and extends outwards from the shaft approximately 0.045". The cylindrical shaft portion 34 has a diameter of approximately about 0.040" and a length of approximately 0.020". The actual size of the mounting portion 32 of the male member M to be attached to the abutment tooth A will vary as discussed hereinbelow.
In practice, a male member form 50, shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, made of plastic or nylon material and having the same general shape as that of the male member M is supplied to a dentist as a form to construct an exact fitting male member M to be installed into the oral cavity. The male member M may be formed from precious or non-precious metal and cast to an appropriate form by a lost-wax process, whereby a mold is created using standard male member form 50, having connector ball form 52, shaft form 54 and mounting portion form 56, after the dentist or prosthodontist shapes a form to provide an appropriately shaped mounting face form 58. A mold is formed from the male member form 50 and shaped mounting face form 58, the form material is burnt out of the investment (mold), and replaced with a suitable metal which, on hardening, forms the actual male member M to be attached to the abutment tooth face 40. Lost wax process molding of this type is well known in the dental art.
The male member M is attached to the abutment tooth face 40 generally along the lines taught by Acid Etched Resin Bonded Retainer Technique. It is a feature of this method that an absolute minimum of abutment tooth enamel is removed, with the potential for no removal at all. The mounting surface 40 of the abutment tooth A is etched with a 30% to 40% phosphoric acid solution and then cleaned and dried. Mounting face 38 of the male member M, which will contact the tooth, is also chemically etched with an appropriate acid solution. The mounting face 38 is then bonded to the prepared abutment tooth face 40 with a enamel bonding agent, generally comprised of a combination of an unfilled resin and a luting composite resin. Male member M is cemented securely in place, on the abutment tooth A in the oral cavity.
Complementary female member F is oriented in the denture portion and shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The female receiving member F best shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is comprised of a generally cylindrical, elongated tube member 82 opened at first end 84 and the second end 86 having a receiving slot 88 extending the length of tube 82. A retaining member 90 is provided on the exterior of the female member F, comprised of raised lip members 92 and 94, disposed on either side of slot opening 88, and extending the length of tube member 82. In a preferred embodiment, the female receiving member F may be of plastic or nylon material.
In use, female receiving member F is mounted in receiving cavity 96 formed in partial denture portion 8. Mounting cavity 96 is formed in denture abutment face 98 of the denture portion 8, which will be adjacent to tooth abutment face 40, which supports male member M, when the partial denture D is inserted in operational relationship to the natural teeth T in the oral cavity. The mounting cavity 96 is contoured to the general size and shape of the female receiving member F, having an appropriate mounting opening 99 in the denture abutment face 98 to present the receiving slot opening 88 to face the male member 30. The cavity also provides cooperating retainers 100 and 102, which, in combination with lip members 92 and 94 prevent tube member 82 from rotating within cavity 90 and maintain the slot 88 in an appropriate position for attachment to the male member 30.
Female member F and mounting cavity 96 extend through the saddle portion 10 and generally vertically into the abutment denture tooth 15. For relief of shear stress on the connection of the male member M to the abutment face 40, it is preferable that there be no impingement of any surfaces on the connector ball 36 in the vertical plane. When inserted into the female member F, the connector ball 36 will be maintained generally in the mid-section of the tube member 82, with a range of vertical motion therethrough determined by the motion of denture portion 8 within the oral cavity, and, for example, the fit of the denture, gum condition or bite of the wearer. The amount of motion anticipated by the dentist or prosthodontist will determine the length of the tube 82 in cavity 96. Such length may extend vertically through the denture portion 8, or only a portion thereof, with the material of the denture tooth enclosing the mounting cavity 96 and tube end 86, but providing end 84 to remain open for insertion of the male member connector ball 36.
As discussed with respect to male member M, female receiving member F and accordingly, the mounting cavity 96 will vary in size in accordance with the needs of the wearer. Tube member 82 has an interior radius r1 which will allow the interior of the tube to frictionally engage the connector ball member 36, but allow slidable motion between the tube and ball in the vertical direction when the wearer is chewing or otherwise creating vertical forces on the denture portion 8. The combination of the tube 82 and ball 36 will also allow some rotational motion of the ball within the tube to further relieve connection stress in lateral directions. Thus, the connector ball 36 acts as a ball joint connector, and slidable retainer when in place in the female receiving member F.
It is contemplated that during the movement and continued use of a metal ball connector 36, the plastic female member F will eventually wear, loosening the frictionally engaging fit between the two members. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment of the invention the female member F may be inserted into and out of the mechanical engagement in the mounting cavity 96 for replacement purposes. In view of the requirements of the invention, the tube member 82 may have an interior tube radius r1 of approximately 0.0335", an exterior tube radius r2 of approximately 0.0535", a slot opening 88 having a width of approximately 0.043", retaining member 90 having lips 100, 102 extending about 0.020" outwardly from the exterior tube diameter and wrapping around the circumference of the tube 82, generally about less than 180�. The length of the female member is adjustable by the dentist or prosthodontist according to the size of the denture abutment tooth 15 but the length of the supplied size of the female receiving member F may be approximately 0.196". In this example, a dentist or prosthodontist would be required to construct a denture portion 8 with the mounting cavity 96 corresponding in shape and fit to the female member F and having a radius of about approximately 0.065" to accomodate the exterior of retainer 90, and radius of about 0.055" through the remainder of the cavity to correspond to the outer diameter r2 of the tube 82. The length of mounting cavity 96 corresponds to the length of the female member F. Slot opening 88 of female member F will be approximately 0.043", or wide enough for some movement of the shaft member 34, within the slot, to allow the male member M to serve its function as a ball joint connection.
In accordance with the above description, when the female member F is fixed securely into position in the mounting cavity 90 in denture portion 8, the partial denture D is inserted into position in the gingival portion G of the oral cavity. The saddle portion 10 is positioned onto the gingival portion to where natural teeth have been previously removed, and with the direct retainer 14 abutting the interior side 18 of the remaining natural teeth T. First opening 86 of the tube member 82 and saddle portion 10 is inserted over ball member 36 with the shaft 34 slidably fitting into the slot opening 88 in the female member F. As the saddle portion 10 of the denture D is inserted firmly against the gingival portion G, the female member F slidably receives the male member M. Thus, the male member M firmly holds denture portion 8 in place against the gingival portion G of the oral cavity adjacent abutment tooth A, in a manner which allows some degree of movement, between the attachment members, but prevents the destruction of the connection between the male member 30 and the abutment tooth face 40.
The disclosed attachment may take many forms and sizes as the fitting of dentures and partial dentures is a customized procedure. The final product will be the best solution for the requirements of a particular oral cavity and patient. Accordingly, it is an advantage of the present device, that, while affording to the dentist the option of creating a permanent extracoronal attachment in the oral cavity, the same male form 50 and female member F may be used advantageously in conjunction with a crowned tooth for formation of an extracoronal attachment. In such an application, rather than using the male form 50 to make a mold, and cast a mounting portion 56 and mounting face 58 for bonding to the abutment tooth face 40, the same form 50 may be used in the casting of a crown so that permanent crown attachment may be attached to a ground down tooth or implant.
The female member F may also be altered to particular applications or problems. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, shown in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12, the female member F' may be comprised of a tube 110 and wing extension 112. The wing extension 112 is adapted to be permanently mounted within the denture tooth rather than slidably removable as in the previous embodiment. Perforations 114 are provided within the wing 112 to allow the flow of the denture tooth forming material, or adhesive material through the wings 112 to hold it permanently in place. While, as discussed above, it is expected that the male member 30 will be of metal construction, and that the female member will wear in use, it is possible to also make the female member a metal material, with the expection of replacement, or with a coating to prevent wearing friction. Alternatively, the female member F' may be of a larger size to slidably receive a plastic insert member, the sleeve being replaceable on wearing.
It is contemplated that the present invention will find particular and preferred use in conjunction with bonding the male member M to a natural abutment tooth A. However, it will be appreciated that the member may be bonded or affixed to any permanent, abutment member within an oral cavity, and such members are considered interchangeable with natural teeth.
The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment. Obviously, modifications and alterations will occur to others upon the reading and understanding of this specification. It is intended to include all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

Low Bid: CEO John Donahoe ushered in big changes at eBay,... Martin Klimek for Barron's
"The speculators and momentum players would rather look for companies with 100% top-line growth and no bottom line, and dream about future monetization," says Martin Sass, the founder of M.D. Sass, a Manhattan investment firm that manages $6 billion. "Ebay is very visible and maybe boring, but it delivers."

Ebay is best known for its online-auction site, which has long benefited from what business schools call the network effect. That makes some services more valuable as more people use them, giving big players key competitive advantages. To unload a gently used iPhone, it helps to list it where it will attract the most bids, even if other venues have lower fees. Today, however, eBay is arguably more of an aspiring Amazon than auctioneer, thanks to a transformation engineered by John Donahoe, who took over as CEO in the dark days of 2008 ("The Silicon Valley Outsider," Oct. 7). About 70% of transactions come from buyers clicking its Buy It Now buttons.
...but investors, enamored of Twitter and Facebook, have yet to give this "old" Internet stock its due.
It's adding Amazon-like capabilities, including free shipping and same-day delivery in some markets. And it offers one key advantage over Amazon for sellers: eBay doesn't stock and sell its own merchandise, so it doesn't compete with its third-party sellers.

Another plus: Ebay owns PayPal, an online-payment service that has become a key growth contributor. Its profits should expand at a compounded rate of 17% per year through 2015, versus 10% for marketplace profits, predicts Susquehanna Financial Group. That would raise PayPal's profit contribution to 35% by 2015 from 31% in 2012. Much of PayPal's past growth has come from its increased use online, at eBay.com and other e-commerce sites.

Shoppers aren't exactly running low on payment options, of course, but rewards programs can win fans quickly, and here PayPal has a key structural advantage. An estimated 40% of its transactions use the Automated Clearing House, a bank transfer service overseen by the Federal Reserve. This free ride of sorts gives PayPal outsize cash flow that it's spending now to expand, but can later put toward shopper perks.
IN THE NEAR TERM, eBay stands to benefit from some old-fashioned Christmas desperation for hot gifts. Susquehanna performed a recent survey of 239 items, including all three major videogame consoles, LeapPad tablets for kids, and something called Furby Boom Waves. It found a 28% out-of-stock rate across all retailers, up from 2% to 3% in recent weeks, with even higher rates at Target, Wal-Mart, and Amazon, excluding its third-party sellers. Of course, eBay's helpful capitalists had pretty much everything in stock and ready for shipment—for a price.
The Bottom Line
With PayPal driving earnings, eBay stock is likely worth 20% more than its current price.
Longer-term, eBay shares can outperform even without blazing growth. For example, Robert Peck, an analyst with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, thinks the goals eBay laid out earlier this year look too aggressive. He expects revenues to reach $21.2 billion by 2015, up from $14.1 billion last year, compared with eBay's goal of $21.5 billion to $23.5 billion. He says eBay should dial down its numbers to set up easier comparisons, but he nonetheless upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral earlier this month, because its recent underperformance has left the potential rewards outweighing the risks. Cantor Fitzgerald recently called eBay its top Internet value play for 2014.
"Value" here is relative. Ebay shares sell for 19 times this year's earnings forecast, versus 16 times for the Standard & Poor's 500 index. But eBay's midteens earnings-growth rate dwarfs the 4% rate last quarter for the S&P. It also sits on net cash of about $6 billion, equal to 9% of its stock market value, and should generate $4 billion in free cash next year. Based on 2015 projections, the company trades at 14 times earnings and just 13 times free cash flow. There might be a dot-com bubble brewing elsewhere, but this stock looks like a good deal.

11 Ways to Eat Sausage for Dinner
Work is temporary, quick sausage dinner is forever.
35 Charcuterie Recipes for Salami, Prosciutto, Chorizo, and More
From prosciutto to salami, here are 35 great cured meat recipes.
Chicken Chorizo Chili
Not a big fan of chorizo? This chili recipe can also be made with chicken, turkey, or Italian sweet or spicy sausage.
Spanish Chorizo with Dates, Cabrales, and Vanilla Oil
The aromatic sweetness of the vanilla complements the sharp blue cheese and smoky-spicy sausage, and, since we doubt you're curing your own chorizo, it's the single handmade element on this tapas plate. This recipe is from Morcilla, one of the Hot 10, America's Best New Restaurants 2016.
25 Recipes With Chorizo, Because It Makes Everything Taste Better
We love chorizo and these 25 chorizo recipes prove it.
Smashed Potato Salad with Chorizo, Aioli, and Scallions
This paprika- and chile-spiked potato salad is equally delicious served warm or room temperature.
Pambazos with Potatoes and Chorizo
This sandwich alone is worth the trip to this five-table restaurant in the western suburbs of Chicago.
Queso Fundido
At Minero, Chef Sean Brock uses Chihuahua cheese for this, which is a Mexican melting type, but it can be hard to find unless you have a Latin foods store nearby. If that's the case, use Monterey Jack. Not the same, but still crazy good!
Chorizo and Shrimp Paella
Bomba rice is a short-grain, starchy type, and its ideal texture is tender but chewy in the center, like al dente pasta. Try not to overcook. Use the shrimp shells and chorizo ends to make the Back-Burner Stock.
Cornmeal Biscuits with Chorizo Gravy and Scallions
Biscuits and gravy meet loaded nachos.

Product Description:
Compilation producer: Didier C. Deutsch.
Recorded between 1955 and 1991. Includes liner notes by Roy Hemming.
All tracks are stereo except "Begin The Beguine."
This is part of Legacy's 16 Most Requested Songs series.
This features more of Ray Conniff's biggest hits, including Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine" as well as "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face," "Besame Mucho," and "Seasons in the Sun." 16 Most Requested Songs: Encore offers another good overview of Ray Conniff's career. It includes a more standard selection of songs without some of Conniff's pop excursions (such as the Coke commercial "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" or the Barry Manilow hit "I Write the Songs"). Traditionalists may find this a strength; kitsch enthusiasts may consider it a detriment. Either way, it is a solid collection even more readily available than the first version. Another good introduction to Conniff. ~ JT Griffith

A BBQ in disguise

Product Description
Take a moment to imagine the scene - it's a hot summer's day and you're standing outside, the sweet smell of BBQ wafts under your nose and now nothing else can satisfy that sausage craving apart from some overcooked meat. You look around but there's not a BBQ in sight....or is there!?
The Hot-Pot BBQ will hide incognito all year round as just an average terracotta plant pot, casually growing some herbs or pretty flowers and patiently waiting for summer to come around once again. Once the temperatures reach their peak, we're ready for business!
Let's be honest now, the BBQ, although a useful beast, isn't very attractive to look at when it's raining outside. True, you could hide it away in your shed but then it gets all spidery and no one wants to claim a BBQ back once their 8 legs have been crawling all over it! Cobwebs and dust just aren't very tasty either. The Hot-Pot BBQ will fix all these problems as it's high quality design will be a joy to look at all year round.
The set comes in three basic parts; the top part is used to conceal the barbeque and is the perfect place to grow herbs that will eventually be used to season the burgers on the grill just underneath. Secondly, the heat insulating ceramic coated steel wraps around the stainless steel inox grill and the third section holds the charcoal and fire.
This is the ideal BBQ for small yards, balconies and gardens and still looks great even when it's not being used.
