If you have a hankering for a swim in the sea, but all of the dangerous creatures in the ocean have you scared, why not just install a swimming pool in the middle of the ocean? “Mesh covered holes allow the Magic Swim to fill with water once it’s deployed, but also keep unwanted visitors out, and a semi-rigid floating platform in the center of the pool allows you to stand once it’s completely filled with water,” said OhGizmo . The Magic Swim inflatable pool can be setup with an air compressor in only five minutes

Guest Post by professional domainer, Kenny Goodman Domainers are domain name speculators/traders – they register or buy either new, aged or deleted domain names and then sell/lease them for a profit.  When I use the term ‘buying’ or ‘selling’ ‘leasing’ I am talking about buying, selling or leasing the registration rights as no one ever actually owns the domain outright. Let me explain: New Domains When you register a normal Top Level Domain Name (TLD -.com, .net, .org, .info etc) you can register it for between 1 and 10 years for about $8 – £35 per year depending on the registrar. These are what are known in the industry as ‘new domains’ for obvious reasons.

Sukumar Mukhopadhyay / May 24, 2010, 0:26 IST What has brought to fore this issue is that in a very recent judgement in March this year the Allahabad High Court has given stricture to an officer of Revenue Department in relation to a case1 involving stay which was given by the Tribunal in the background of the existing legal provision in the Central Excise Act as in Section 35C(2A). I am not discussing here whether the strictures was to be given or not because there were some other reasons also for the stricture. I am only on the legal point as to whether stay can be extended by the Tribunal beyond the period of 180 days from the date of the stay.

I woke up this morning feeling guilty, ready to admit a journalistic lapse: I watched only about five minutes of last night’s marathon season finale of “American Idol.” That’s partly because I’ve never liked the show, and partly because both the Red Sox and Celtics were playing on other channels. But I’d meant to tune in last night to watch Simon Cowell’s swan song
