Restaurant DescriptionOver the last 10 years the Far West Village and the Meatpacking District have taken on a life of their own. With new boutique, gallery and restaurant openings weekly, it appears that the charm that attracted people in the first place will be lost. 5 Ninth will preserve that charm in the refurbishment and design of this rare classic: a freestanding 3-story brownstone, built circa 1848, with six fireplaces and a beautiful garden.
Stylish comfort and accessibility are the key ingredients to the 5 Ninth formula, which will give patrons a variety of experience to choose from.
By stepping into 5 Ninth you begin to feel the history of the neighborhood. With exposed brick, wood beams in the ceiling, and two fireplaces on each floor, this structure has built-in romance. On the first level, in the center of the room, encased by fireplaces, is the bar. At the entrance, banquets flow outwards towards the other end of the room, where a glass wall slides open to reveal a breathtaking garden with ivy covered walls. Fieldstones laid into the ground complete the 19th century feel of the house. A floating staircase leads to a dining experience on the second floor, which is decorated in lighter wood tones, and washed brick.
Easily transformed, the room is a breezy brunch spot that becomes a romantic dining room for dinner or late night fare. For the brunch crowd, an impressive variety of menu choices will be available. For dinner, the menu will feature innovative twists on international flavors. When done patrons can meander back to the first floor bar area, or ascend the stairs to the third floor and find themselves in a stylish and sophisticated room.
5 Ninth brings to mind all that is perfect about the restaurant scene in New York. Tireless professionals who know what people want, offering a variety of experiences to a crowd that is constantly searching for new excitement.

Hi All,
What steps should I take to dub or mute over curse words on a DVD? I have TMPGEnc plus and Nero6. I can remove the words with TMPGEnc but it involves me cutting actual frames.
Thanks in advance for replies.

well your best bet is to demux the audio from the video. Convert the audio to a wav file (unless the audio program you use accepts ac3 or mpeg, etc), and "edit out" (or just replace) the words that way. Then remux the new audio back with your video. Now you do not have to cut frames from the film
Here's a better idea: Don't buy or rent any films with curse words in them. Save yourself the trouble.Look, let me explain something. I'm not Mr. Lebowski; you're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. That, or Duder. His Dudeness. Or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing--

I put the list up and it's already working! My husband actually even made a middle name suggestion, Helen to honour his Grandma who's name was Grace Helen. There are too many Grace's in our families for us to even consider using Grace but Helen could work. I'm not sure if we will use it but attest he's thinking about names and we're not arguing. He also un-vitoed Geneveive, it's like seeing the names written down made things easier for him. I feel like we are finally getting somewhere.The 3 Princesses in my life...

The money, part of the $795 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed by Congress earlier this year, will be funneled into the COPS Hiring Recovery Program under the U.S. Department of Justice. The funds will go to "state, local and tribal law enforcement to create and/or preserve nearly 5,000 law enforcement positions," according to the DOJ web site. The grants cover a three-year period and each department accepting the money must commit to retaining officers hired under the program for a fourth year as well.
Vice president Joe Biden and Attorney General Eric Holder announced the grants on Tuesday, July 28, in Philadelphia, one of several large cities that will each receive enough money to fund 50 police officers. "We can't achieve the goal of stronger communities without supporting those who keep our streets safe," Biden said. But New York was left out of the COPS funding, much to the chagrin of city officials. The Department of Homeland Security, however, announced on Wednesday that $35 million for the city's police officers would be dispersed through the department's Transit Security program.
"This will put more than 120 new cops on our trains and buses and will be a shot in the arm for New York's successful fight against crime," said Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-M.Y.), who worked with Homeland Security officials to ensure that the money could be used to hire police officers. The DHS, created by Congress after the 9/11 attacks to deal with threats to the nation's security, has frequently issued grants for purchases of equipment and other assistance to local police and fire departments.
The COPS program began in the first term of the Clinton administration with the goal of putting an additional "100,000 cops on the street. "It is designed to change the way policing is done in local communities by moving officers away from the traditional "call-and-respond" pattern in favor of a more pro-active role in meeting with residents in neighborhood centers and working to identify and eliminate problems before they occur. Some police departments have used the money to put officers in schools to prevent criminal or disruptive behavior there.
But the program has been criticized for years over accountability of funds. A USA Today report in 2005 noted federal audits of the program at various locations found more than $277 million in misspent funds. Thousands of jobs that were funded were not filled or filled only for a short time. The money has also been used in some cases to pay for officers already on the force, or for equipment, computers and administrative personnel instead of "cops on the street." In Novinger, Missouri, former police chief Charles Middleton was sentenced to two years' probation and ordered to pay $53,000 in restitution in 2002 after auditors accused him of using grant money to pay his salary and give himself a $6,000 raise.
The requirement to keep officers for one year beyond the life of the grant has also been a problem for some municipalities that used COPS money to create more positions than they could later afford. That in turn has led to pressure on Congress from mayors and police chiefs to reauthorize the program.
An analysis of the COPS Improvement Act of 2009 by the Heritage Foundation claims the program undermines fiscal responsibility at state and local levels by increasing dependence on the federal government for the funding of routine law enforcement operations. The growing federal role also raises constitutional issues, say the study's authors, David B. Mulhausen and Brian W. Walsh.
"These federal grants do not vindicate any unique role or responsibility that the Constitution has assigned to the federal government," they wrote.

While I'm not one to know if the while idea of putting a spoken story to music is a common occurrence in other genres of music, I can say for sure this is not something you'd find at all in metal. The Axis of Perdition return with another offering of urban decay, morbid obscenities, and a sound that can only be described as nightmarish in their latest album, Urfe. What's more, they add an original spin to it and put the whole thing as a story, narrating it in a way very reminiscent of 30's and 40's radio broadcasts, although it is safe to say Junior and family would rush to the living room to hear this story told by the warm fireplace.
Of equal importance to the narrated story (Which must end here due to possible spoilers. We wouldn't want that now, would we?) is the extremely dark ambient music always playing in the background. For those familiar with the Deleted Scenes album, the ambiance here will have the same feel; sounds that just can't help but get under your skin, eerie synths, and quite a number of other miscellaneous sound effects that add to the grand effect. For better or worse, at times this ambient music rises to a volume greater than the narrator at certain points, but not for very long. Enough to where one might strain to discern a few sentences; however, as one might also expect, this surge in volume often indicates the climactic parts of Urfe's story. Neither music nor narration really feel like they're competing for audible superiority; a fact of great importance as it makes for clear understanding of the narrator without losing focus on his voice while the background music registers in your head, and vise versa.
There are two complaints I have towards Urfe though, which was probably inevitable. The first being the choice of musical direction taken during the last half of the second disc. What appeal this album might have had for those less inclined towards metal is swept away as tracks II through IV of the second disc progress. The ambient music changes to a very violent and grating series of droning guitar riffs, placed at such a volume that, as the listener will inevitably have this album cranked to max, present a curious, and almost needless, state of unpleasantness, and successfully breaks the listener out of any state of enthrallment they might have been in . As one can imagine, the narration dies down in favor of shrieks reminiscent of the band's earlier albums. The story is lost for a time, at least for me; I couldn't make heads or tales of the vocals, and I don't imagine many other listeners could either. This isn't to say the music present is bad, on the contrary, it is very unnerving and fitting for the story's setting.
The second complaint, or rather warning, is there isn't much in the way of repeatability. Urfe is a story, hardly any different from a typical book. As such, I wouldn't expect this album to obtain multiple listens very often, especially since the whole effect is lost if interrupted, or started from anywhere but the beginning. Compare it to pulling a book of a shelf and flipping to a random page and reading; it doesn't make sense, does it? An hour and a half isn't a needlessly long time for an album, but given the circumstances in which it needs to be listened to, it could prove to be a daunting task.
When all is said and done, The Axis of Perdition still succeeds in delivering an amazing album. So long as one can get past the hyper-sensitivity of the subject matter, and any fan of these guys won't have a problem with that, the story is nothing but captivating and enthralling. I found myself bound to my area while the tracks of the first CD played, my mind racing to create this terrible world brought about by humankind that serves as the setting, and wondering how the story was going to end. Urfe presented a type of album completely new to me, and probably new to many listeners as well. I recommend this especially to fans of dark ambient, good stories, and anybody craving something new and different. Try not to let the above mentioned bit of disc two dissuade you, even when you reach it, because the story's conclusion more than makes up for the few minutes of discomfort. I promise.
Hats off to 'Axis' for what is probably the most intriguing album of 2009.

Critics are unsure if the rumored relationship between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian is real. Having grossed millions from her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, many think that Kardashian is using this relationship to redeem her public image. Sources have said that Kanye and Kim have scheduled the paparazzi to come take pictures of them together. The Huffington Post reports:
They're hot and heavy, but are they for real? Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's whirlwind romance went surprisingly public last week, and has some celebrity experts scratching their heads about whether this pairing is the result of true love, or just a calculated publicity stunt timed to help Kanye sell singles and Kim revamp her public image.
"I certainly hope Kim and Kanye's whirlwind dating isn't merely a ploy to drum up publicity. But it does seem like it's already driven a tremendous amount of interest in Kanye's semi-leaked new single, 'Theraflu,' in which he raps about falling for Kim and then disses [her ex-husband] Kris Humphries. In which case, the relationship is already proving lucrative publicity-wise," Hollywood Life Editor-in-Chief Bonnie Fuller told The Huffington Post.
Over the weekend, sources told Hollywood Life that Kanye and Kim actually orchestrated the paparazzi shots that first revealed their romance and have since chronicled their every move. Sources close to Humphries also labeled the couple's purported love a "showmance."

Ramada Hotel & Suites Ajman, a premier destination for business and leisure travellers, will attend this year's World Travel Market (WTM), the leading global event for the travel industry, to tap new outbound operators from UK and other markets, sports and leisure groups, and MICE business from all over the world.
At the same time, the group headed by Iftikhar Hamdani, General Manager, will meet with existing partners to strengthen the business relations and look for more leads to get a wider share of the existing markets.
Every year, the property sends delegation to the must-attend four-day business-to-business event presenting a diverse range of destinations and industry sectors to UK and International travel professionals. WTM is a unique opportunity for the whole global travel trade to meet, network, negotiate and conduct business under one roof.
Hamdani commented: "World Travel Market is a very important platform for us. This exhibition will enable us to target the UK sector and enhance the relationship with the existing market of the property. Our inventory is now 400 rooms so we are more aggressive in terms of sales to target more markets for Ajman. The event is also a good venue to look for new partners. We did materialize good business in the past through WTM and the trend continues."
The property also aims to adapt the latest technological trend in the industry through WTM. Hamdani added: "The latest technology in our day to day business is an important area to look into this year. Global Village in WTM is very interesting as it allows us to set sights on more global distribution system partners and gain additional knowledge on technical support."
Ramada Hotel and Suites Ajman hopes to participate as one of WTM's exhibitors in the future while the group continues to grow and look for additional properties to add to its present portfolio.

Atari's Horrible 'E.T.' Game Excavated From Landfill in New Mexico
There's a slew of terrible-ass video games out there. Some of them deserve to get revamped, while others, like that shitty "Fight Club" game for the PlayStation 2, are best forgotten.
One game has remained a major myth for the last three decades, residing in a landfill somewhere in New Mexico, hiding its awful face from the public eye since 1983. That game is "E.T." for the Atari 2600. Now, after 31 long years of hiding, the game has finally been dug up.
Back in 1982, Atari created a licensed video game for Steven Spielberg's beloved hit movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The game was to be released in Christmas season of 1982, aiming to capitalize off the hype of the film being released earlier that year, hoping to invade every American home that Christmas. Instead, the game ended up being totally rushed to meet the season's deadline, and was released in December as one of the worst video games of all time, and an ultimate commercial failure from Atari.
The failure was so bad, in fact, it helped aid in the 1983 video game industry crash that almost ruined the company altogether, in addition to there being way too many game consoles and shitty games out at the time. Atari didn't know what to do with the abundance of "E.T." games that weren't selling. So instead of leaving them on store shelves to collect dust forever, the company decided to gather all unsold copies of the game and bury them in an undisclosed location in New Mexico in 1983, a year after the game was made. Atari ended up losing $310.5 million in their second quarter from the failure that was "E.T."

This year, a group of 200 New Mexico residents and game enthusiasts were led by filmmaker Zak Penn in an exhibition to find said buried games. The group dug beneath concrete using bulldozers and backhoes to sift through dirt in search of complete shit, and sure enough, Saturday evening in the southeastern New Mexican desert territory, the group found a mountain of trash and "E.T." game cartridges. The hundreds of cartridges were reported found last night.
Epic day! After 30+ years, a successful ET Atari recovery! #digginget #atari #xbox pic.twitter.com/2eg8EaofL8
— Elan Lee (@elanlee) April 26, 2014
The city of Alamogordo, where the landfill is located, agreed to give the everyone up to 250 cartridges of the unearthed game, with plans to sell the rest. No one at Atari has any idea why the games were buried in the first place. Some folks speculate that it was something that the company just didn't want to remember. Regardless of how awful the game may have been, it's pretty evident just how legendary the horrible game has become.
If you want to waste five minutes of your life and see how bad the game really is, check out the video player up top for some gameplay footage.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Ellen K.
Review for Infinity Foundation, Highland Park, IL, USA
I moved to the Chicago area seven years ago, and expected to feel deprived after a rich twenty year cultural experience in California. I found the Infinity Foundation soon after arriving, and have been involved ever since - as a student, a teacher, and a volunteer. I am so very grateful for the existence of this lone resource, always there with free and reasonably priced enrichment opportunities for personal growth, social welfare and alternative health options. I have been impressed with the quality of the programs and the extraordinary guest lecturers that Infinity has brought to Chicago. The effort that goes into this virtually all-volunteer organization is enormous, from programming to marketing to fund-raising. I stand in amazement and deep gratitude for the Infinity Foundation and its committed corps of volunteers.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I had studied with numerous notable teachers in areas related to my field (psychology), all of which were valuable, enhancing my skill set professionally and personally. I have been able to refer many clients and associates to Infinity over the past seven years, and we have all been grateful for the additional support these programs provide individuals who need to connect with others in an emotionally safe environment, and who need resources like Infinity offers. There is virtually nothing else like it.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would have more people know about its rich offerings so that more people could take advantage of the programs! If at all possible, I would like to see Infinity have a larger facility so that it could accommodate a larger population of clients.

By Lavern Nissley, Tuesday@10:10 blog post
Imagine how you would feel if you were one of the 32 million subscribers to Ashley Madison, the affair-seeking site that was recently hacked. The leaked list of subscribers, assumed to be private, can now be searched by name or email. Ed Stetzer, writing for Christianity Today, estimated that 400 church leaders (pastors, elders, staff, etc.) would be resigning this past weekend due to the damaging exposure of their indiscretions.
Yes, the idea of paying for a "discreet affair" is dark, despicable and rooted in relational disconnection and deception. Although many things that used to be wrong have now become OK, having an affair is still taboo. In fact, 81.7% of all Americans believe it is wrong.
But before we start throwing stones at others, let's take a look in the mirror. How disconnected and how transparent am I in my own marriage or relationship? These are typically the core/deeper issues, not sex per se.
We're making available two relevant resources below from our couple's class, The RINGS Experience. It's a quick, free, 2 page download, and we encourage your honest reflections with both of them.

Oman Oil Refineries and Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC) and Spanish company Compania Logistica de Hidrocarburos CLH, have officially launched the Orpic Logistics Company (OLC), a joint venture between the two parties. According to Oman News Agency, ONA, the agreement was signed by Dr. Mohammed bin Hamed al-Rumhy, Minister of Oil and Gas and Chairman of ORPIC, and Jose Luis Lopez de Silanes, Chairman of CLH. The official signing formalities took place in the presence of board members and senior management of both companies, as well as the Spanish Ambassador to Oman, Juan Jose Urtasun. OLC has been established first and foremost to construct the Muscat-Sohar Product Pipeline (MSPP), and consists of three key elements; a 280km multiproduct pipeline between Orpic's Mina Al Fahal Refinery and its Sohar Complex; a terminal in Jifnain, in Muscat Governorate and a direct pipeline link from Jifnain to Muscat International Airport. MSPP is one of three major projects, the others being the Sohar Refinery Improvement Project and the Liwa Plastics Project, which Orpic is engaged in over the next four years. "This is a significant project on a number of levels," said Musab al- Mahrouqi, Orpic CEO. "As a multi-product pipeline it is a first for Oman, a complex transportation system that will have a positive impact for the business overall and specifically in environmental issues. The Jifnain terminal is a strategic storage facility, capable of responding to emergency situations should it be necessary. And the direct link to the new airport will mean that aircraft will be refuelled through a closed system, guaranteeing a continuous flow 24 hours a day, rather than having to use fuel tankers. We strongly believe that this project is strategically important for Oman." The pipeline will transport four types of fuel, premium and regular gasoline, diesel and jet A1 for aircraft, using a computer controlled buffering system to separate product streams. It also has two way functionality, enabling products to be sent to or from Orpic's refineries and the strategic storage facility in Jifnain. From the environmental perspective, the project will have significant benefits, particularly in Muscat. Currently fuels are tankered by road out of the Mina Al Fahal Refinery and through the city. The new pipeline will reduce traffic on the roads in Muscat and up to the Al Batinah, reducing the potential for accidents involving tankers and the carbon footprint. The tanker numbers will be reduced by 70%, giving significant relief to the capital's traffic. At the airport, aircrafts will be pump-filled on their stands rather than relying on tankers coming to them, which has important safety benefits. With the Jifnain terminal, Orpic will have created a national fuel reserve for emergencies, whether caused by technical interruptions or adverse weather. OLC is scheduled to complete the pipeline connection between Mina Al Fahal Refinery and the airport in 2016.

AndrewHaug.com has uploaded video footage of TESTAMENT' February 25 performance in Melbourne, Australia. Check it out below.TESTAMENT's current tour of Australia is the band's first with returning bassist Steve DiGiorgio (SADUS, DEATH, ICED EARTH). TESTAMENT last month announced the departure of bassist Greg Christian. DiGiorgio rejoined TESTAMENT as Christian's replacement. Steve was previously a member of TESTAMENT on "The Gathering" (1999) and "First Strike Still Deadly" (2001) albums. Christian was forced to leave the band's North American tour with LAMB OF GOD and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE in November 2013 for "personal reasons." Filling in for him was EXODUS bassist Jack Gibson. "Dark Roots Of Thrash", a DVD/2CD release documenting TESTAMENT's sold-out headlining performance at the Paramount in Huntington, New York this past February, was made available on October 18, 2013 (Europe) and October 29, 2013 (North America) via Nuclear Blast Records. "Dark Roots Of Thrash" was produced by Get Hammered Productions, directed by Tommy Jones (DEATH ANGEL, KATAKLYSM, SOILWORK) and mixed by Juan Urteaga (VILE, EXODUS, SADUS, MACHINE HEAD). It captures a total of 19 live tracks with countless cams onstage and high above the audience, plus a special moshpit cam that makes you feel like you're a part of the show.

On this page, I've included links to a number of inexpensive Chinese 2 meter and 70 cm handhelds.
The products listed on this page are suitable only for use by licensed amateur radio operators. Most of them can transmit inside the ham band or outside of the band. If you don't have an amateur license, then this product will cause you nothing but grief. If you use it inside the ham band, you will discover that hams are extremely protective of their frequencies, and they will track you down. You will stick out like a sore thumb, and you will not go unnoticed.
I originally posted this page a few years ago. At the time, a few cheap handhelds were showing up on eBay and other places which could be shipped straight from China. Some of those are still available. Generally, you could legally buy those radios for your own personal use. And if you were a licensed ham, you could legally use them in the U.S. (or other countries with similar regulations), as long as you understood that you were responsible for the correct operation. In other words, if they were putting out a spurious signal somewhere, you were on your own.
In general, however, these Chinese radios could not be imported or resold in the U.S. This was because they were never certified by the FCC. In general, most of these radios need certification (under either Part 15 or Part 90 of the FCC rules) before they can be imported and resold. Again, importing one for your personal use was an exception, so it was possible to legally buy these radios from China. Depending on how you read the rules, it could be argued that they were illegal to sell, even if you decided to sell them used many years later. But buying one from China was and is legal.
Since I originally posted this page, more and more of these radios have shown up for sale in the United States. And more importantly, some (but not all) of them are certified under either Part 15 and/or Part 90. This means that U.S. retailers can legally sell them in the U.S.
If you are thinking of buying one of these, it's probably a good idea to look for the FCC certification. First of all, if a U.S. seller is selling uncertified radios, this is illegal. It's not illegal for you to buy the radio--it's just illegal for the seller to sell it. But more importantly, it does increase the risk that you will use it in violation of the rules. Such a radio might work fine right out of the box. But there's always a chance that it is transmitting a spurious signal outside the ham bands. So there's always the chance that your putting out a spurious signal which interferes with someone else (like your local police department). Unless you test the radio yourself, you'll have no idea that this is happening. But you could very well get people mad at you, in which case they will eventually track you down, and you'll face the possibility of a huge fine (generally in the ballpark of $10,000 per day).
If the manufacturer went to the trouble of having the radio certified, the chances of this happening are greatly reduced. Again, the uncertified radio will probably function flawlessly. But if you have a choice between a certified model and an uncertified one, it's probably best to get the certified one.
Most of these radios now for sale are available on Amazon, which is probably a good place to buy. All or most of these radios are actually being sold by third-party sellers, and the third-party seller is the one who actually ships the radio. But you actually make the purchase through Amazon, and if there are any problems with the sale, you will have Amazon's customer service to back you up.
Here are some of the radios that are currently listed on Amazon. Most of these have free shipping available. If you're looking for "name brand" ham gear on Amazon, I have that listed on another page.
Baofeng has recently changed its name to Pofung. Therefore, on some of the listings below, you'll see the names used more or less interchangeably.
For a review of the Baofeng UV-5R, please visit my blog: http://onetuberadio.com/category/baofeng-uv-5r/
If you have or are going to buy a UV-5R, My blog contains a discussion of accessories you might want. You don't need to buy anything additional, but that page explains some additions that might be helpful. One accessory that is almost essential, however, is the programming cable, and you should probably order it when you get the radio:
You can download the free Chirp software at this link. While not absolutely necessary, the cable and software are very useful for programming radios such as the UV-3R and UV-5R. And it's really necessary for radios such as the BF-888, which don't have any other way of changing frequency, other than programming them with a computer.
For VE hams, the following radios are available in Canada from amazon.ca. Some of these might ship from outside Canada, and you might get a lower price ordering from the U.S. Amazon site. But for your comparison shopping, here are some Canadian links:
The TYT rigs covering 222 MHz can be found on my 222 MHz page.
Here are links to these same and similar radios at other sellers. Some of these ship directly from China:
I really don't have any information about the following radios, other than they appear to be available from Yilutong Technology Co.Ltd. Some of them appear to be knockoffs of radios from the big 3, complete with identical model numbers. Let me know if you have any feedback about any of the following radios.

The following mobile rigs are also available on Amazon:
In most cases, the seller should state in the description whether the particular radio is certified under Part 15 or Part 90. In some cases, however, the seller might be unaware of the importance of this information. In that case, you might need to do some research. If a radio is certified, that fact should be noted in the owner's manual, and/or on the radio itself. So before buying, you can take a close look at any pictures or manuals that are available. The FCC also maintains a database, which is available at this link. As you can see, however, this database is not particularly easy to search. You do not have the option of searching by manufacturer or model number.
As noted above, these radios are for use by licensed hams. If you decide to use one of these without a license, there's a high probability that you'll eventually get caught, and eventually face a large fine. Some people think that it's a good idea to buy a radio such as one of these for use in some future "emergency". In some cases, the future emergency use is planned after "TSHTF", and it's presumed that the FCC will no longer be in business. While that is certainly possible, getting a license is still a good idea. If you're buying a radio to communicate from Point A to Point B in an emergency, it's a good idea to test the radio and see whether it can, indeed, communicate between those two points. And if you are preparing for TEOTWAWKI, then you ought to do this testing before TEOTWAWKI. And to do that, you'll need a license. Getting a license is not difficult, and there are many resources available to help you get your license. In fact, I am the author of a study guide for the beginning level of license, the Technician license. You can see the full details for my book at this link. For more thoughts on the subject, you can visit my Emergency Communications Page.
Since these radios should be used only by licensed hams, it goes without saying that they should be used only in the ham bands. If you use it outside the ham bands, then chances are, you'll be using a frequency that's assigned to someone else. If it's the local taxi company, then they'll complain to their radio supplier about the interference, and the radio supplier will eventually figure out what's going on. If it's the local police department, then this process will undoubtedly be followed by some unpleasantness down at the station. In either case, you're liable for a fine in the ballpark of $10,000 per day. With other suitable unlicensed radios available, it's just not worth the risk.

Since most of these radios will physically transmit on frequencies used by commercial and public service users, some of those users might be tempted to purchase them. Unless the radio is certified under Part 90, this is a very bad idea. You might save a few hundred dollars by doing so, but it is illegal to use these radios for those purposes in the United States, because there is no indication that they are certified for use in those services, and they are not guaranteed to meet the technical requirements for such radios. In all likelihood, you'll get away with it for a while. But if your radio ever causes interference problems and someone investigates the source of the problem, then you could very well wind up having to pay a fine of $10,000 per day. It's not worth the risk. (If the radio is certified under Part 90, then it is probably OK to use the radio for such purposes, but that is outside the scope of this article, so do your own research.)
If you decide to buy one of these radios, let me give you one last piece of advice. Most of these radios are capable of transmitting outside the ham bands. As a ham, it's perfectly legal for you to own such a radio, but it's not legal for you to transmit outside the ham bands. On the other hand, it is perfectly legal for you to receive signals outside the ham bands. And chances are, after you buy such a radio, you'll want to program in some interesting channels outside the ham bands. When you do, it's a good idea to program the radio to transmit on a ham frequency. For example, if you want to listen to NOAA weather on 162.55 MHz, or a police department on 470 MHz, you can easily program these frequencies. But if you do nothing else, the radio will also be programmed to transmit on the same frequency. It's not unheard of to bump the push-to-talk switch by accident. Indeed, it's quite possible that the transmit button gets bumped, stays pushed, and is not noticed. So if you were listening to the local police department, you would unknowingly be transmitting on their frequency with an open mike, and every cop in town is listening to you go about your business. Eventually, they will come knocking on your door, and they won't be pleased. Therefore, you should program a transmit frequency inside the ham bands to go along with that receive frequency. So when you put the radio in your pocket and the switch gets bumped, you'll be transmitting in the ham bands. Perhaps your ham buddies will eventually come knocking on your door, but they generally won't be as upset as the local police department, and you'll avoid a trip down to the station to explain yourself.
If you're looking for an inexpensive rig for 222 MHz, please visit my 222 MHz page.
The information and links above should be up to date, and most of those products should be available on Amazon. When I first started this page, most of these radios were available only from China, and I had the radios shown below linked. The radios listed below are generally no longer available from the links shown. Even though the links no longer work, I'm leaving this part of the page active, in case you're looking for information on one of these radios.
CVSB-J48-110V Chinese 70cm Handheld
I'm not quite sure what to make of this product, although it appears to be an extremely inexpensive 440 MHz handheld.
There is no indication that this unit is certified under any part of the FCC rules, so it is not suitable for any commercial use in the United States. But for something really inexpensive for occasional use by licensed amateurs, this radio appears to be somewhat useful.
It does appear to cover the entire 70 cm ham band, and it appears that you can enter frequencies from the front panel and/or program up to 199 memories.
If you're a licensed ham, then $80 seems like an extremely cheap price for a couple of 440 MHz handhelds. Even so, there are a couple of cautions:
There is no indication that these units are able to send CTCSS tones (also known as "PL" tones). Therefore, they cannot be used on most repeaters, since most 70 cm repeaters seem to use tones. But for simplex use, they're probably a very good value. If you need an extra handheld in the glove compartment, for working on antennas, etc., then these seem to fit the bill.
As noted above, these are not certified for sale in the United States. Since it is not legal to sell such radios, then you're probably on shaky legal ground if you decide to sell it later. However, it is perfectly legal for you to buy one or two for your own personal use (buying quantities under ten don't qualify as "importing"). And it is legal for you to transmit on the ham bands with them, since there is no requirement that hams use certified transmitters.
However, it is required that any transmitter you use meets the FCC spectral purity requirements. Chances are, these units do. After all, those requirements are not exactly rocket science. However, there is no guarantee, so you should take a look at your signal before using them on the air. It's always possible that they put out a spur on some out-of-band frequency. So you should look at your signal on the frequency you intend to use, and make sure the output is clean.
If you understand these limitations, then it seems to me that $80 is an excellent price for not one, but two, UHF handhelds. Of course, if you don't understand these limitations (or you're unwilling to take the risk that the output won't be clean), then you should look elsewhere. Also, please don't buy one of these as your only ham rig. You'll be sorely disappointed. But if you just need a spare UHF rig, then these cheap radios just might fit the bill.
Update: This pair of HT's is now available on Amazon, but at a somewhat higher price:
And here's a dual-band HT for $52.99, including shipping:
SinoRise SR-638UA Specialized 99-Channal Digital Walkie Talkie
And here is the "Sinorise Model SR-638", a dual-band (2 meter and 70 cm) in the same category, for $52.99, which includes shipping from China. Once again, the specs on the web site are rather limited, but it has a power output of 2.5 Watts, and covers 136-174 MHz, and 400-470 MHz. All of the cavaets above still apply, except this one appears to have CTCSS capability, since it features "155 groups of CTCSS/DCS coder".
This one doesn't appear to have a keyboard for entry of frequencies, but according to the description, it is "PC Programmable", and has a USB connector (which appears to be on the bottom).
There's one review on the website, which seems to say that the USB cable is not included, but a 120 volt charger is.
According to some feedback I received from Szilard, YO6VSR/HA6VSR. It looks like if you can get this radio cheap, it might be suitable for UHF simplex, but it has many limitations. Here's his feedback:
This is definitely a MONO band, SIMPLEX radio with CTCSS. Output is only 0,2 watt low, 1 watt high power. In the beginning I thought, that I have made a mistake and can not handle the programming software. But I realized, that the extra programming USB cable can only handle the frequency and power adjustments. The TX Shift is not allowed by hardware, so it is an expensive PMR radio. Power adjusting is possible only changing the channel above CH 16. I do not recommend it for anyone. Battery is very bad. Only the charger is OK, it has an extra socket for 2nd battery, so you can charge the radio and an other battery at one. This is the only one advantage. If someone knows, how to make the radio dual band, let me know, I am very curious.
Here are a few more that I've found, with even lower prices, all of which include shipping:
Hongda HD-360 70 cm HT, $38
This one covers the 70 cm band, with 5 watts, and sells for $38, including shipping. It appears to have CTCSS capability. It's billed as being sixteen channels, but there's no indication from the product description as to how the frequencies are programmed.
Rechargeable 5W 400-470MHz 16-Channel Walkie-Talkie FM Transceiver (VHF/UHF) HD-360
Hongda HD-Q6 dual band HT, $49
This one covers both 2 meters and 70 cm, also with 16 channels, with about 5 watts output power. Like the HD-360, there's no obvious method of how you program the thing. There's no mention of CTCSS capability.
Dual Frequency Handheld Walkie-Talkie FM Transceiver (VHF/UHF) HD-Q6
Hongda HD-8800 VHF/UHF Handheld, $67
This one is described as "VHF/UHF", but the frequency range is not specified. There's also no mention of CTCSS capability. It has 99 channels, and presumably one can program them from the keypad and LCD screen.
Professional LCD Display Walkie-Talkie FM Transceiver (VHF/UHF) HD-8800
Hongda HD-K99, $54
This one covers both 2 meters and 70 cm. Again, it's a mystery as to how the sixteen channels are programmed.
HONGDA HD-K99 Two Way Radio VHF/UHF FM Transceiver
Hongda HD-Q8 dual band HT, $48
This one's product description at least refers to a programming cable.
HONGDA HD-Q8 Two Way Radio VHF/UHF FM Transceiver
Hongda HD-660 dual band HT, $51
This one covers both 2 meters and 70 cm with 5 watts. Again, it's unclear how those sixteen channels are programmed.

My friend Sam, over at Future;Nostalgic, sent me this very cool Floating Origami kit. Not sure how he knew that I always wanted to try Origami, but here it is.
First a little about Origami from everyone's favorite know-it-all website, Wikipedia (if there are errors, please feel free to correct them):
Origami (折り紙 from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper") is the traditional Japanese folk art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD and was popularized in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.
The number of basic origami folds is small, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The most well known origami model is probably the Japanese paper crane. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints. Traditional Japanese origami, which has been practiced since the Edo era (1603–1867), has often been less strict about these conventions, sometimes cutting the paper or using nonsquare shapes to start with.This kit comes with 30 sheets of Origami paper and full color instructions on how to fold a Canoe, Classic (looks kind of like a paper hat), Barge, Lifeboat, Catamaran, Sailing Boat, Seagull and Duck. See the theme? These are all Origami which are designed to float in your bathtub.
Being me, I bypassed all the really simple stuff and dove straight into attempting the intermediate level Seagull. Here is one of the pages of instructions to fold a Seagull.
But somehow, my Seagull just did not turn out quite like the one on the cover of the book. I got everything to work except the tail and I'm still puzzling over that one. Oh, and if he looks a little rumpled... you would to if you had been folded and unfolded and refolded and turned inside out and upside down... well, you get the idea.
Check out this really cool project at Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes.

Efficient Signalling with Dividends and Investments
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): RAMASASTRY AMBARISH, KOSE JOHN, JOSEPH WILLIAMS
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 321-343
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1987.tb02570.x
An efficient signalling equilibrium with dividends and investments or, equivalently, dividends and net new issues of stock is constructed, and its properties are identified. Because corporate insiders can exploit multiple signals, the efficient mix must minimize dissipative costs. In equilibrium, many firms both distribute dividends and deviate from first‐best investment. Also, the impact of dividends on stock prices is positive. By contrast, the announcement effect of new stock is negative for firms with private information primarily about assets in place and positive for firms with inside information mainly about opportunities to invest.

PARIS, July 30 (Reuters) - Steel pipes maker Vallourec turned in a second quarter net profit rise of 41.9 percent to 88 million euros ($117.67 million) on Wednesday and repeated its recent warning that challenges in Brazil will eat into its second half performance.
The French group said on June 10 that core profit would drop 10 percent this year as customers - mainly Brazilian state oil company Petrobras - run down inventories to save money.
Petrobras alone will account for some 60 million euros ($82 million) of the slide in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), which Chairman Philippe Crouzet said in June would amount to between 80 and 90 million. EBITDA was 920 million euros last year.
Crouzet expects Petrobras to take until about the end of the year to run its pipe inventories down to nothing.
On Wednesday, Crouzet told reporters that in 2015, "Petrobras will return to a coherent rhythm of orders in line with its needs."
Vallourec depends on Brazil for about 25 percent of its sales, on Brazilian oil and gas for about 12.5 percent, and on Petrobras itself for between 5 and 10 percent.
Petrobras is undertaking a $221 billion five-year oil and gas capital investment programme but is struggling with high debts from the spending and a lack of cash flow as it waits for new production to come on stream.
Also weighing on its finances are the costs of state-imposed fuel price controls under the government of President Dilma Rousseff - a former Petrobras chairwoman - and a weakened real currency.
The strength of the euro will also continue to hit profitability of the deliveries from Europe, Vallourec added in Wednesday's results statement, adding that it remained "focused on generating positive free cash flow for 2014.

Shakira, Jenni Rivera + Jennifer Lopez Win Big at 2013 Latin Billboard Awards
Congrats to Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and the late Jenni Rivera were the top winners at the 2013 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
Shakira nabbed Social Artist of the Year, Latin Pop Songs Solo Artist of the Year and Female Artist of the Year. She faced stiff competition in the Solo Artist of the Year category, facing off against Pitbull, Lopez, Rivera and Enrique Iglesias.
'The Voice' coach wasn't on hand to pick up her awards, however — she was at a basketball game with Gerard Pique!
Lopez and Iglesias didn't go home empty handed, though — the duo won the award for Tour of the Year for their joint jaunt.
The late Rivera was honored with six awards, including the prestigious and coveted Artist of the Year award. The fallen singer's popularity and sales soared following the tragic news of her untimely death. As a result, Rivera also received Albums Artist of the Year, Latin Pop Albums Artist of the Year Solo, Regional Mexican Album of the Year and Regional Mexican Album of the Year (Solo). Rivera's family, including her parents Pedro Rivera and Rosa Saavedra, and two oldest daughters, Janney (Chiquis) Marín and Jacqueline Marín, accepted her trophies.
Another winner? Rihanna, who received the Crossover Artist Award.

A Climate Deniers take on Tobacco Smoke
Kevin Grandia | February 11, 2009

It's no secret that many of the people and organizations funded by cigarette companies to defend "smoker's rights" and downplay the harmful effect of tobacco smoke have been involved in the energy industry-funded campaign to downplay the serious effects of climate change.
No group typifies this more than the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based "think" tank that simultaneously operates the "smoker's lounge" and "global warming facts" sections on their website. The former arguing for "smoker's rights" and railing on about the need for "sound science" on tobacco issues and the latter arguing that "global warming is not a crisis."
It's no coincidence that the Heartland Institute has also received funding over the years from companies that stand to benefit from delaying government regulation in the areas of tobacco and greenhouse gas emissions.

Of course, every silver lining has a cloud, and in the shadow of all this optimism, there is one corner of the economy making consumers nervous. Climbing gas prices spurred by OPEC's slow contraction of the oil market have nudged pump registers toward the two-dollar mark. It's proving difficult, though, to pinpoint what effect, if any, the gas prices are having on consumers. Some figures show a general upswing in car buying, including gas-guzzling SUVs; others show a downturn. Meanwhile, analysts point to the fact that gas still costs proportionately less than it did 20 years ago. It'll probably all come down to how long the high prices continue. Predictably, the non-incumbent politicians are licking their chops as this story develops. If gas prices don't start heading south, the vice president could face a serious problems on the subject from George W. Bush. "On the campaign trail, Bush has made it clear that his father was able to establish good relations with key OPEC members like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait after the Gulf War," says TIME economics writer Bernard Baumohl. The subtext is clear: If they're not careful, Clinton and Gore could be painted as the administration that stole America's vacation time and locked up its Range Rovers.
It's Spend, Spend, Spend! But for How Long?
"Buy! Buy! Buy!" With a vigor generally only seen in traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, American consumers continued their purchasing frenzy in February, snapping up new clothes, furniture and appliances and pushing retail sales to higher-than-expected gains. This buying frenzy flew in the face of widespread predictions that rising interest rates and a volatile stock market would blunt the national urge to shop. Americans are supremely confident, it seems, in the robust economy and in the stock market's ability to withstand any bumps in the road: A March 12 Gallup poll shows that nearly 75 percent of investors view recent market volatility as "normal market fluctuation," rather than an indicator of impending slowdown.
