text: Springfield 566 Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Official: World War Hey guys, it's me Springfield and welcome to the newest game of DYOM .. World War. Yep, I know that this game was already established by Fabeee but since he left the dyom! He also locks the topic which includes the same objective that today I'm going to show you. That was going to be a fun ride if he won't leave this community but depends on the author that what he likes or not.So, coming to the point, this game is same as fabeeee one but just some changes which will help other factions to play normally. If you don't know that what kind of game is it then let me elaborate you: The Official World War is a game for DYOM. In this game, there will be two factions: The Alliance and The Axis. Both are enemies and the main goal of both factions is to fight with each other. The more and more you'll defeat the enemies, more and more your faction will become stronger + points and money. Remember: the points are the main thing between both two factions. More points mean more power. With the help of points, you can easily take over the places which are under control of other faction. With the help of money, you can easily buy items, weapons, technologies, gears, upgrades of suit etc... (I'll post the rates and items name later). How to earn points: Following point will tell you to how to earn points for faction: (Blue means points and Green means money) -If a faction member won a MOTW contest (+50 for faction and +10 for member)-If a faction member won a MOTY contest (+500 for faction and +250 for member)-If a faction successfully take over a territory (+80 for faction and +7 for each member in faction and +10 to all members of the factions) How to decrease points:Following points will tell you to how to decrease points of factions: (Red means points subtraction) -If a faction member insults his or other faction members (-20 will be subtracted from the faction and -5 from the member)-If a faction member commit any kind of cheating (-60 will be subtracted from the faction and -55 from member + Demotion)-Spamming a topic (First time the faction member will be warned and if continue then -40 from faction and -40 from the member)Remember: You'll make the mission according to the theme and the host (which is me) will give you the points and money with a complete review. How to earn points with missions:Following points will tell you to how to earn points for the faction with missions: Grammar: -Cant Understand = 0 and 0 -Very Poor Grammar = +1 and $10 -Poor Grammar = +2 and $15 -Good Grammar = +3 and $20 -Very Good Grammar = +5 and $25 -Excellent Grammar = +8 and $27 and +2 for faction Spells: -Cant Understand = 0 and 0 -5 Spell mistakes = +1 and $2 -4 Spell mistakes = +2 and $5 -3 Spell mistakes = +3 and $7 -2 Spell mistakes = +4 and $9 -1 Spell mistakes = +6 and $15 -Zero Spell mistakes = +7 and +20 and +2 for faction Objects&Pickups Placements: -Very Poorly placement or No object = 0 and 0 -Poor Placement = +1 and $2 -Great Placement = +2 and $3 -Awesome Placement = +4 and $7 -Excellent Placement = +5 and $15 Camera/Cutscenes Placements:-No Cutscenes = 0 and 0 -Very Poorly Placement = 0 and $2 -Poorly Placement = +0 and $4 -Good Placement = +2 and $8 -Awesome Placement = +4 and $12 -Excellent Placement = +10 and $20 Presentation of Mission:Presentation of mission means that how good the subtitles and words are settled like referring yourself in subtitle with some serious decoration.

A leader of every faction has the authority to lead their soldier A primary mission is to keep the faction clean, in order, in sequence and provide the best training. A leader is always chosen by the votes of the people which means many people want something unique from the leader. All people's trust are with the leader therefore, we shall not see any mistake or abuse of power in a leader or any other mistake which is against the rules. A leader always starts from "Specialist" rank because a leader is always greater than other soldiers. A leader will always guide his faction with the best plans and remember a leader life is very precious for the solider. Defeating a leader means a big defeat for the faction. So protect your leader at all cost. Applying to a faction:Applying in a faction means to join a faction. To join a faction please, copy the following format and fill the format and send it to me in PM. File: Submit Name: (Your name in the faction) Faction: (Faction you want to join) Age: (Your age please) Reason: (The reason you're joining) Leaving a Faction: File: Leave Name: (Your name in the faction) Faction: (Faction you want to leave) Age: (Your age please) Reason: (Reason for leaving) Reporting a Player: File: Report Name: (Your name) Player Name: (Player you want to report) Faction: (Your faction) Players Faction: (Players Faction you want to report) Reason with Evidence: (Reason you're reporting him) Kicking a Player:Kicking players mean to kick a player of your own faction with valid reason. The only leader is allowed to send a pm of kicking a player to the host: File: Kick Name: (Your name) Player Name: (Player you want to kick) Faction: (Your faction) Reason with Evidence: (Reason you're kicking him) Remember: Evidence is not compulsory. The leader can simply talk with the leader about this with the host. Submitting Points: Submitting points means to submit some points for faction or for yourself. I am as a host! I can miss some point in the middle of reviewing a mission. So, if you think that I'm missing something then please, pm the format of submitting points and tell the host that where he missed the points. File: Submit Points Name: (Your Name) Faction: (Your faction) Reason: (Reason, that why should I submit your points) Some Rules:There are some very compulsory rules that I'm going to exhibit below;-Never abuse your power!

Don't make anything else which is completely beyond from the story or completely away from the story. Follow whatever is happening)-Make a plan with soldiers and leaders and then try to attack enemies (Yes, another compulsory rule. Always if you want to attack enemies base then you have to first make a plan and tell the plan to your leader in-game. If the leader approve the plan then you're allowed to attack the enemies base but at least 10 to 15 soldiers must be compulsory with the leader to attack a base)-Take over a base with points and a lot of soldiers (This rule is same as above one. Plan will be told to the leader and at least 10-16 members shall be in a plan of taking over)-Never kill a player in your missions (Yes, a very very compulsory rule. You can't kill a player/character in your mission. Like: I'm in The Axis and Aftab is in The Alliance. Now, I can add Aftab on my mission but I can't kill him. I can kill the bots which don't have any name like Solider 1, Solider 2.. are many more but you can't take a player. You can hurt him, injure him but not kill him) -Sacrifice is allowed (Saving your team or saving your leader from the enemies by giving your life is allowed. Remember: Once, you sacrifice. You're out from the war and game and if you want to join again then send the joining application to host with a different name)-Obey the leader (Obeying leader means best overall and disciplined member. So, obey whatever the leader says)Rates of items & Upgrades:These are the upgrades of items and many other things:-50% Health = $20 (This will be 500 Health) (This item will not be permanently in Player.

I made sure to select USA in GCOS GUI, so why does it show up black and white? I even select NTSC in the launcher itself but it doesn't force it.

Trench Open! Number one in the timeless classics – and this season's favorite again, thanks to Brexit: Burberry trench coat.
Why? Well, there are purely economic reasons: Because the Brexit decision, ie the historic referendum with the result that Britain is leaving the EU, naturally also influences the British currency. To be more precise, since the referendum on 22 June 2016, the value of the pound sterling has been reduced by about ten percent compared to the euro. The consequence of the weakened currency: lower prices.
According to the online magazine Business of Fashion , the UK is currently the cheapest luxury goods market. Plain: A classic trench coat from Burberry costs about 1395 pounds. Converted today are about 1657 euros – compared to about 1823 euros before the Brexit.
Granted, the all-time favorite still does not make a bargain. But every fashion professional knows, a classic coat is probably the most important investment in the wardrobe. Because he is like a business card – in the coat you arrive.
Side note: The same calculation applies to all Brit labels, such as Mulberry, Jimmy Choo and Alexander McQueen. The catch for anyone who does not just happen to be on holiday in the United Kingdom: to benefit from the exchange rates, the parts must be purchased locally.

Written by Victoria Louise Crump-Haill – Digital Strategist/Account Director
'Outstanding creativity' and 'inspirational' ecancer website – judges say
Brandcast, one of Europe's leading healthcare digital agencies, has won its fifth major award in the past 12 months.
According to the award judges, it was Brandcast's 'inspiring' and 'outstandingly creative' work on the website ecancermedicalscience.com that won the firm this prestigious award.
The Ability Medial International Media Award is run by Leonard Cheshire Disability and is designed to identify creativity that encourages a more inclusive world for disabled, chronically ill and marginalised groups of people. Covering every aspect of the arts, the winners were chosen for producing work that 'positively represents, involves or assists people facing major physical, mental, emotional or social challenges.'
ecancermedicalscience.com impressed the judges as 'an impressive, free to use, online social network rapid exchange platform which explains the advances in the latest approaches to cancer and patient treatment. It enables oncologists to read, listen, watch, comment on and share scientific information and news via video, text, and images and makes a major and much needed contribution to healthcare internationally.'
Brandcast Managing Director, Charlie Grieve, said he was surprised and delighted by the award from the Ability Media Creative Board and Leonard Cheshire. "This is really a team award and our team includes every cancer doctor we have interviewed about developments which will ultimately help millions of people to deal with this most feared and increasingly common disease," he said.
"Surgeons and oncologists daily have to face the reality of caring for people; trying to save their lives or trying to enhance their quality of life. These are the people who really deserve awards," said Charlie. "Put simply, what we strive to do is to help everyone know and recognise the potential of new discoveries and developments in the treatment of cancer and to understand that real progress is being made in this vital area of modern medicine."

As speculations regarding Griezmann's future in Atletico Madrid continues to rise, FIFA-accredited agent, Vincent Rodriguez, has recently claimed that Manchester United has reached "a financial agreement" with the French attacker.
Griezmann who is reported to have a buyout clause of around £84million (which is a figure Manchester United can easily pay), is being chased by most of Europe's top clubs.
Although the France international has insisted he doesn't want to leave Atletico Madrid, Vincent Rodriguez thinks otherwise, as he claims a deal is imminent. He wrote on his twitter handle
A financial agreement between Atlético Madrid and Manchester United regarding the signing of Griezmann has been met.
Griezmann's adviser, Eric Olhats, is also quoted as saying United were the first club to make an approach with the "most concrete interest".
Speculations as regarding Griezmann's future is set to continue till the close of the summer transfer window.

Lead's Late Rebound
Lead-based batteries start nearly 1 billion vehicles every day. They also provide energy storage for mobile communications, data centers and emergency equipment, and help to move commercial products in warehouses across our country. Lead batteries are truly foundational to the energy needs of modern society. At the end of their life, lead batteries are the single most recycled consumer product, their lead metal and plastic cases recovered, recycled and reused for new batteries. Given the value of lead in modern society, tracking the changes to the global market is a daily function of Doe Run.
2016 was a fickle year for lead with the lead metal prices dipping to $0.73 per pound in January before making a late comeback toward the end of the year. The long-awaited lead rebound meant mining companies like Doe Run that had taken measures over the past two to three years to weather low lead prices could breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking Back
Lower lead metal prices seen particularly in 2015 and 2016 were driven by a cooling-off period in global economic growth brought on by loan defaults in Portugal, Spain and Greece, and a softening of the Chinese economy.
During the last decade, China's double-digit economic growth spurred the global economy and the lead market. But in 2015 and 2016, China's growth moderated to a more sustainable rate of 5 to 6 percent annual growth. As a result, we entered a period of oversupply in the global lead market.
"As a global business, the economies around the world impact our company," said Steve Batts, vice president – Southeast Missouri Operations. "We adjusted our output to adapt to the market and enable us to operate sustainably."
Doe Run was not the only company that adjusted its mine output. Several other large mines also curtailed production, including mines in Ireland and Australia. Globally, newly mined lead output declined 2.8 percent year-on-year and refined production (primary and secondary) increased by 2.7 percent.
Newly mined lead supplies about 45 percent of the global demand for lead. The remaining nearly 55 percent of refined lead is supplied from lead recycling. In 2014 and 2015, there was tightness in the scrap lead metal market, which supplies North American battery recyclers (secondary smelters). For battery recyclers like Doe Run, this meant increased costs for scrap lead and narrower margins. The closure of a secondary smelter in California in 2016 did not completely ease the tightness since the market is further complicated by exports of lead battery scrap.
Lead Demand on the Rise
Future demand for lead will be driven by growing demand for mobility in developing countries, greater electrification of vehicles and the rapid expansion of renewable energy storage around the globe. These technological changes – powered by lead batteries – have analysts forecasting global demand to grow by 2 percent year-over-year. After years of depressed prices because of an oversupply of lead, companies like Doe Run should benefit from increased demand, and analysts expect demand to outpace supply of newly mined lead ore by 2023. Anticipated new mine projects will be required to meet the demand.
Today, global lead demand remains driven largely by China. In 2016, vehicle production in China increased 14.5 percent year-over-year for a record production of 28 million vehicles. China also continues to expand its mobile network, adding on nearly 2 million new transmission stations in 2016. Each cellular base station uses more than a metric tonne of lead in standby batteries, which provide emergency power.
In the U.S., Ford Motor company's 2016 decision to forego plans for an automotive assembly plant in Mexico and instead expand one of its Michigan plants, bodes well for Doe Run and the battery manufacturers we supply. Separately, the country's largest battery producer, Johnson Controls Inc., also announced it will invest $245 million in new battery production in the U.S. and Mexico between 2016 and 2020.
"The use of lead in renewable energy storage (wind and solar), the expansion of cellular networks in developing countries, and hybrid electric vehicles represents growing demand for this versatile and recyclable metal."
A Promising Future
Lead is the most recycled metal on the planet. In fact, more than 99 percent of lead batteries are recycled in North America and Europe primarily as a result of the closed-loop supply chain and the intrinsic value that spent lead batteries retain. Their lead can be recycled and returned to its main purpose infinitely. The plastic casings are also recycled and reused as are nearly all materials used to build this highly efficient and affordable energy storage device.
But not everyone agrees that the battery of the past will meet the needs of the future. Other battery chemistries using often more expensive metals (such as lithium, cobalt and rare earth minerals) are competing to be the preferred energy storage for electric vehicles, home emergency power, and other motive and stationary uses. In most cases, these other battery chemistries cannot be economically recycled when they are no longer suitable for their original use. For example, less than 1 percent of lithium is recycled. This creates a glut of spent or partially spent batteries (primarily lithium batteries) that are being stored in warehouses or refitted for other, temporary uses.
Conversely, affordable lead batteries are produced, recycled and manufactured over and over again. The industry is working to advance the understanding of this quiet workhorse and help establish industry standards for battery manufacturing and recycling, so that society can use and reuse its natural resources in the most economical fashion possible. Learn more about how batteries are made and recycled here.
Next-Generation Lead Batteries
Lead's high density, durability in punishing climates and untapped energy potential are some of the reasons researchers are exploring next-generation lead-based batteries. Some of this research is taking place here in Missouri at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) in Rolla.
"Missouri S&T is exploring the future of energy storage, electric grid stability and the application of renewable energy for a more sustainable energy future," said Angie Rolufs, Director of the Center for Sustainability, Missouri S&T. "Doe Run participates in and supports this research through its membership on Missouri S&T's Microgrid Consortium and its research projects, including the design, management and measurement of the efficacy of lead-based battery energy storage and deployment in a small, multi-use campus community."
Around the world, the Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium (ALABC), of which Doe Run is a member, is researching methods to improve lead battery performance and lifespan for micro-hybrid vehicles and renewable energy storage. For example, recent ALABC vehicle demonstrations with Ford, Hyundai and Kia have shown that 48-volt lead batteries in micro-hybrid applications can result in fuel savings and carbon dioxide reductions of up to 16 percent. Advanced lead batteries are helping car manufacturers meet increasingly stringent standards for fuel consumption and emissions around the world.
The ALABC and its partners plan more than $4 million in research projects with universities, national laboratories and members from across the globe during its current program period.
"While the outlook for lead in the long term remains strong, fluctuations in metals pricing caused by social, political and economic influences are apt to continue to keep things interesting," said Jose Hansen, vice president sales and marketing at Doe Run.
Doe Run's business also is impacted by the global market for other metals found in its mines. Read more about the market performance and everyday uses of zinc here.

I got the firmware from GBA Temp: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?download=4734 I don't have my SD Card yet (picking it up tomorrow) but I assume it's just dropping the files on the card, and putting the files in the right folders. I'm using it for GBA emulation, and I hear there's some patch I need to play some larger games. Does that firmware include the patch, or am I looking for a program to patch individual files?

Outcast Season 1 Finale Teased in New Trailer
Demons in My Head
By Alex Burns
If you don't watch Outcast, then I highly recommend you change that as soon as possible. For those of you that have been gripped by the first season so far, here is a little tease of what's to come for the final three episodes.
Kyle Barnes has had a series of misfortunes in his life; his mother would beat him as a child and he was accused of attacking his own daughter. After attending an exorcism in his native town, he is convinced his mother and his wife were possessed and he was not the source of them going bad. He therefore teams up with Reverend Anderson to try and save people that are possessed by demons while putting up with the residents of his town who think he's bad news and would deserve to be in jail.
Based on the best-selling comicbook from the mind of Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) Outcast is some seriously dark and awesome viewing. For those in the UK Outcast is available on FOX Tuesdays at 22:00.

August 16, 2004 7:17 a.m.
I became a reporter after a conversation at a cocktail party. After the failed coup in Russia in 1993, some big bosses came over for a catered party at an art gallery. Standing around in a circle, one of them complained that he could not get ice in his drink. I explained that Russians thought cold drinks were unhealthy. A few minutes later I heard the man ask someone, "Who
is that guy?" Later, he told me to put a report together and send it to him.
I thought you had to be born to be a TV reporter — look a certain way. They shined. That night I couldn't sleep. When the chance came, I took a camera to a drug raid in Kyrgyzstan. I followed the police over fences, through hedges, passed barking dogs, at night with a big betacam on my shoulder. We found broken-down dopers shooting up a home mixture. The police held them
in front of the the harsh camera light. The police did not have money for a squad car, so we all walked. We chased two guys through a marijuana field, guns firing. They cut open opium plants in a woman's garden and set them on fire. One detective organized everything for $100 a day. The video was good, the editing was good — the voice wasn't good. They wouldn't run it.
I went to a voice coach in New York who told me to smile when I talked. You held the smile while the words came out. Sure.
By tracking over and over, it got a little better. War made things a lot easier. There was a war in the tiny republic of Chechnya in Southern Russia. It started just before Christmas. It would be cold there, snow, no hotels, outhouses. No reporters wanted to go.
"War zones aren't in my contract," the White House reporter, who was filling in in Moscow, said. They sent me. They didn't know it would be a story.
In the first Chechen war, you could live with the Chechens. It was before things went bad, before they started kidnapping people.
I lived in the basement of a house owned by a man named Tarzan. Tarzan kept a large iron pot of tea and a bucket of sugar ready. You'd pour the hot tea into a clear Soviet glass, then shovel in sugar with a light aluminum Soviet spoon — three or four huge tablespoonfuls — and spin it around with the tea leaves. There was no rush, nothing to do. You could have five or six glasses and talk to Tarzan in the warm basement, then walk out through the snow to the outhouse.
More on Chechen outhouses tomorrow...

I was stationed on a Navy ship off the coast of India on the way to the gulf when 9-11 happened. It was so surreal looking at the video. It was like watching a special effects scene in a movie. Like you, we never could relate to the carnage that took place. We were isolated. The same can be said of civilians who watch the war on TV. It's just not the same as being there. It's too unreal for their minds to comprehend.

I really enjoyed your story about "White Cat." It really touched me. I've always been an animal lover - all kinds of animals. But I think this goes further than that. No matter how bad things get in this world, how terrible people can be to one another, we are reminded of the joy in simple things and not to take them for granted. Yeah, I'm a romantic at heart and maybe an optimist, too. Thank you for sharing this story. It made me smile.
— Linda (Citrus Springs, Florida)
Thanks as always for your wonderful blogs. I am printing them — you are now in a three-ring notebook. When your blog novel ends, I might bind you in duct tape; seems appropriate for our times.
First I must tell you my Mother has said "I really don't want him to go back to Iraq." She's pretty much telling you that you can't go. But you know how Moms are. I live with my Mom and she was leaving on Sept. 11 to help her 90-year-old sister move. She left just as the first plane hit. When she got there, her sisters did not want to watch, not having grasped the big picture. I was alone watching with disbelief as the events unfolded. It's strange how these things are so compelling to watch on TV, so far removed in Kansas, but something that will change your life forever.
As always be safe and thanks for all your good work. — Donna
I really enjoyed reading 'White Cat.' You're doing a great job of personalizing your experiences over there. I hope you stay safe and I hope your 'white cat' stays safe, too.
— Angie(LA)

Steve, I've watched you with admiration from the start of this war. You're a gutsy guy, a stalwart. You report concisely and with passion. I'm easily old enough to be your mother, and I worry about you as well as all our people there. Stay safe.
— Vera (Monroe, CT)
Your story reminded me of Nam. There were few dogs and no cats. We wish there had been a cat. The cat would have kept the rats out of the barracks and trash which would have meant we wouldn't be killing them. I used a drawer once and a piece of chain link fence another time. I'm glad I was successful each time. Of course there were some that got away.
Lou (USA Ret), Colorado Springs, CO
Steve, I appreciate your blog. Today our 19-y/o is flying to Iraq to serve his first mission as a Marine. I am determined to see the glass as half full when I hear of news on the war on terror in Iraq and anywhere. It is difficult because each day I hear so much of the negative, which, I find out later, isn't always negative, and this makes it unfair and unbalanced! When I hear something of the positive, I say, why didn't we hear THAT 50 times like we heard the BAD, negative story 50 times!! When the positive IS there, I am determined to see it! Thank you for your part in getting it out to us.

William Easterly is a famous development economist at NYU. Yet in a 2007 paper in the American Economic Review, Easterly asks "Was Development Assistance a Mistake?"
Easterly first recounts how development economics conventional wisdom on how to end poverty has changed over time.
- 1950-1970s: Raising investment is the key to reducing poverty. "…[d]evelopment (i.e. economic growth) was a simple matter of raising the rate of investment to GDP, including public investments like roads, dams, irrigation canals, schools, electricity and private investment. However, private investment was usually not trusted to do enough or do the right things, and so there was a strong role for the state to facilitate and direct investment, guided in turn by the development experts."
- 1980s: Washington Consensus. This policy "…called for removing price distortions, opening to trade, and correcting macroeconomic imbalances (mainly budget deficits). The slogan of the new wave was 'adjustment with growth.'"
- 1990s: New Growth Literature. Here economists would would use hundreds of right hand side variables and regress them on growth in order to find the determinants of economic growth. "Durlauf, Johnson, and Temple (2005) pointed out that 145 different right hand side variables were significant as determinants of growth in various studies with around 100 degrees of freedom."
- 2000s: We don't know. In 2005, the World Bank states that "different policies can yield the same result, and the same policy can yield different results, depending on country institutional contexts and underlying growth strategies." The Barcelona Development Agenda proclaimed that "there is no single set of policies that can be guaranteed to ignite sustained growth."
So how does Easterly sum up the contribution of development economists to the world?
"In sum, we don't know what actions achieve development, our advice and aid doesn't make those actions happen even if we knew what they were, and we are not even sure who "we" are that is supposed to achieve development. I take away from this that development assistance was a mistake."
In fact, Easterly likens development economists advice to that of a communist central planner.
"The 20th century's first development economist may have been Lenin, who wrote a famous pamphlet in 1902 called 'What is to be done?,' and said that the revolutionary intelligentsia had the answer. A long line of such diverse thinkers as Edmund Burke, Karl Popper, Friedrich Hayek, Isaiah Berlin, and James C. Scott have criticized the idea that experts can re-design society, all the way back to the French Revolution, and the catastrophic outcomes of the more extreme attempts to do so supported these criticisms. Yet the unquenchable demand for experts who can call tell "us" the right answers shows no sign of ending soon."

The I-Should-Not-Buy ListJanuary 06, 2010
Take note people.
Things you should not buy this year (The source)
1) DVD - The top of the list huh? haha. I guess because there a growing number of sites offering downloads. Me too didn't buy any DVD since a few years ago. And since I stayed at MMU hostel.. lagi la.. download a movie just only takes 2 minutes. Save money & save time baby!
2) Home Telephone Servive - This maybe in U.S. But in Malaysia, u still need at least the line to have streamyx. Yeah yeah.. unless u're using the broadband and all ;) Other than that, almost everyone have handphone. And PC call are more worth it!
3) External Hard Drives - I myself have one actually. But why shouldn't buy? According to the source, there are lot of sites offering online backup services. But anyway, I want to use it to store all my downloaded movies.haha!
4) Smartphones - Today's tech.. Iphone, Blackberry etc. Beware of potential competitor which is Google's Android. (GOOG)
5) Compact Digital Cameras - Well, rising popularity of another type.. say hello to SLRs
* Change a bit from the original source to adapt here.

Groupon Rejects $6 Billion Google Offer
Groupon Rejects $6 Billion Google Offer
After all the rumors, it appears the Chicago-based Groupon Inc will pass on Google's $6 Billion offer. It is said that Groupon is still flirting with an initial public offering, but will not make an announcement until 2011.
In two years, Groupon went from being a struggling website (within 8 months it was profitable) to now employing over 3,000 workers with a presence in 35 countries. Expected annual revenues are estimated at $500 million.
Google, who continues to delve into local search advertising, finds Groupon appealing due to their network of sales people and their established relationships with small businesses around the globe.
How does Groupon make their money? By offering irresistible discounts for local businesses, with bonus discounts if a minimum number of people sign up for the offer. Groupon receives 50% of that revenue.
In the meantime, while all the Google acquisition talks circulated, Groupon continued to make deals with Ebay, Yahoo, they bought a California-based tech company and even acquired three Asian daily deal websites. In addition to all that, Groupon will be expanding its reach in Chicago after receiving a $3.5 million job creation incentive package from the state of Illinois.

Welcome to the official home of True Tales from the Pink & Blue Trenches, a weekly series hosted by The Noise of Boys and Home on Deranged. It's all about life raising two rambunctious boys. And life raising two boisterous girls. What's the difference? That's what we're going to find out together!
Every Thursday of the month, Jodi and I will share our thoughts on a particular topic, hers from the point of view of raising boys, and mine from the point of view of raising girls. Maybe we'll find out we have a lot in common, or we may discover the differences are just too funny not to write about.
Join us on this journey through motherhood and the chaotic lives we lead with the beautiful girls and boys in our lives.
Jodi, creator of The Noise of Boys, began blogging in March 2013 as a much needed creative mommy project. She learned about this addictive hobby through a blogger friend, finally opting to start her own blog because of a bet and a dare. She focuses on family friendly reviews and giveaways, but her boys are her total inspiration to blog. As she said, "I love sharing the funny moments and it is a chance to also record it!"
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Jodi has lived in Central Iowa since 2000. Three years later, she married Chuck, a Graphic Artist, and the couple now have sons Hayden, 3, and Henry, 1. There's also a dog named Sydney and a cat named Jinx.
Visit this page for links to her stories of snips and snails and puppy dog tails.
I'm Melissa, owner of Home on Deranged, and I spent my professional career in newspapers and nonprofit management, and now I'm mumbling through the mayhem of marriage to a husband 13 years my junior, and motherhood to two rambunctious girls, living our big little life in small town Texas. I like to pretend like I know what I'm doing as I sort through the mysteries of social media, dye jobs and the absurdity of life in a small town, always with the emphasis on humor and love.
Our family consists of my husband, Thomas, a freelance graphic designer; Annie, age 2 1/2; Leelou, 16 months; and our two black Labs, Midnight and Buddy.

My question recently about what happened to those interred at Mile End cemetery, Portsmouth, when it was demolished and turned into part of the ferry port, prompted a flurry of replies.
They included one from John Cass, the council foreman who was in charge of the demolition team.
He says the front of the site, as seen in the photo were the vaults. These were excavated and the remains reburied in Kingston cemetery.
John adds: 'The back part was turned into a park and some of the gravestones were then put against the building which is now occupied by the multi-storey car park.
'The last interment was of someone who died in the 1950s and was right in the middle of the park.
'After inquiries, relatives were traced and asked that his remains be reinterred in Waterlooville cemetery.'
The city council had to obtain special permission from the government to turn the cemetery into a car park, recalls John.
He says: 'There were too many people buried in the rest of the cemetery to have been exhumed and reinterred so they have been concreted and Tarmaced over which is why the special dispensation was granted from the government.
'This was not the end of the saga because I received a call at a later date when workmen uncovered human bones when they were digging out for the car park's floodlight pylons.
'They were spooked and stopped work so another clean-up job had to take place and the remains were reinterred in Kingston cemetery.'

New Zealand gets all the cool stuff. Lord of the Rings-themed walking trails, Flight of the Conchords… other stuff. Now this? I guess I'm siding with Australia in all of this.
That's because those Kiwis get to play Batman: Arkham City Lockdown before the rest of us. In the iPhone spinoff of Batman: Arkham City, players get to beat up Joker, Two-Face, Solomon Grundy, Deathstroke and more. The game even comes complete with alternative skins to dress Batman up with.
Currently priced at $6.45 US, this app is most definitely one of the surprises NetherRealm Studios had planned, but don't expect any blood and guts on the screen. That just wouldn't fly with Batman and friends.

To be able to make a difference in the face of adversity can be overwhelming, especially when you drive through the parts of New Orleans that were destroyed by the flood waters of Katrina. Yet when you follow the quote, "Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something," it brings inspiration and puts each person's value into perspective. Through the administration of Operation Helping Hands, volunteers have been working on homes of those who still need help. Working alongside the homeowner, volunteers hear their plights. Not only the stories of what they endured during the storm, but the subsequent heartache as contractors who were hired to help ended up taking advantage of them. We can all make a difference in helping these homeowners to finally recover and Belgard did just that.
The Rayne street house has taken on a whole new look. The previous siding was wood, which became molded and decayed. Using Oldcastle's new product, Suretouch, this veneer is guaranteed to withstand the elements. Summers are hot in New Orleans, so Suretouch's insulating feature is a plus. The volunteers on-hand from Immaculata University in PA were impressed that the veneer will also help the homeowner "save on electricity bills!" The transformation is amazing. Volunteers commented on the simplicity of the installation process. "We made an enjoyable game out of it, like putting together a huge puzzle."
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
The other house Belgard sponsored on Tricou Street in New Orleans, is the home of an elderly blind lady who loves to have her grandchildren visit her. Yet, after the storm waters of Katrina destroyed her home almost six years ago, she has not been able to move back in. That is all about to change. While the inside of her house is still being completed, the Belgard Permeable Paver side path has been installed. This path will allow the homeowner to walk safely from the front to the rear of the house where she can enjoy her grandchildren as they play in the yard.

A 27-year-old man responsible for the illegal purchase of a gun used in the slaying of Chicago Police Officer Thomas Wortham IV in May was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in a firearms trafficking scheme involving weapons brought from Mississippi to Chicago, authorities said today.
Quawi Gates of the 2100 block of West 71st Street in Chicago pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting another to cause a federal firearms dealer to keep false records, according to a news release from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Four guns bought by straw purchasers for Gates in Mississippi were confiscated in violent crimes in the Chicago area in the hands of Gangster Disciple street gang members, the release stated.

From leaky faucets and drain cleaning to heating and cooling we handle every size job your Shoreview home needs. Our licensed plumbers and heating and air conditioning epxerts have the knowledge and experience to properly repair, replace, and upgrade your home's comfort systems.
We feature on-time service, attentive techs who listen, fair upfront pricing and a thorough clean up when the job is complete.
From first contact through the sales process and install, their communication was excellent. Whether it was by phone, email or chat (on their website), there was never an issue reaching them. My sales guy did a great job answering my questions and concerns. I knew enough about HVAC to be dangerous and he was very patient through it all. Their price was competitive and they conveyed a level of confidence that helped me make my decision. The install team did a great job. They were courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. One of the techs stopped by a week after the install (per my request) to answer some questions I had. Overall I'm very happy with the system which included a high efficiency gas furnace, central air unit, whole house humidifier and air exchanger. It works great. They took care of everything from permit to utility company rebates. I highly recommend these guys.

Torchy's Tacos
Ah, Torchy's. If you're a fellow Texan you can practically taste the delicious queso in your mouth. Torchy's is like that rebellious cousin that has tattoos up and down his arm. A cousin that serves delicious tacos, that is. As a die-hard breakfast taco-lover, any place that sells b-fast tacos all day is a win in my book. However if you're a little more adventurous than I, go try the 'Democrat' or the 'Dirty Sanchez.' And don't even think about not ordering queso.
Fuzzy's may be a nationwide franchise, but it holds a special place in my heart because the original location is right here on the edge of TCU's campus. This is the go-to post-bars eatery for most TCU students, with intoxicated students gorging themselves with chips, queso and delicious tacos. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu but check out the 'Tempura Shrimp' taco next time you're in.
Salsa Limon
A true Fort Worth classic, Salsa Limon has slowly but surely taken Cowtown by storm. After two successful storefronts, Salsa emerged on TCU's campus as a popular food truck outside of popular bars. New this year, Salsa has a storefront right on University Drive, practically right on campus. Serving traditional 'Mexico City' style tacos, everything is mouthwateringly good. Obviously my pick is a breakfast taco (mainly because I haven't tried much of anything else!).
Taco Heads
Brand new, Taco Heads is practically any blogger's dream. This place's aesthetic is so damn good it's hard to choose just one thing to instagram. After only visiting once, I can't attest to much but I can assure you I will be back soon. P.S.- Try the guacamole!!
Velvet Taco
#HonestyHour, I've never actually been to Velvet Taco before but that is clearly a mistake on my part. I've heard far too many good things about this place and I plan to high-tail it there as soon as I get the chance. I'll return with a full report, ASAP.
So there it is. No more wondering where to get your Taco Tuesday fix- you've got plenty of options. Where do you get your favorite tacos? Share below in the comments!

Peter Hazel
I made my first piece of "art" in 2011, a simple bird bath, or bird fountain for a friend's wedding gift. I had been a master tile worker and contractor for thirty years leading up to this moment, but never quite tried my hand at something others would consider art. From there forward I was hooked. I started dreaming of things to create in my spare time; but I wanted to work big. I wanted to work in a way that no one would mistake what they were seeing. This was just the beginning of what has become a life purpose, a calling deeper than anything I have ever known before. "I'm truly just a carpenter, an old school contractor from Half Moon Bay," that is what I tell most people. I have never been to art school, I like to drink boxed wine and listen to old blues music. But this shines in my art. Thirty years of making muted tone bathrooms and kitchens, and the redundancy of following other people's visions, the desire to break away from the traditional came out of me in a big wham! I wanted to go crazy with color. I wanted to make larger than life sea creatures that people could slide down, laughing the whole way. My art is naïve, yes, but it's guaranteed to light up the hearts of the people interacting and viewing it, and that is what is most important to me. My simple attitude and lifestyle translate well into my art in that it is art for everyman. There is no pretension, there is no mistaking what my goals are. I am a straightforward man that creates art that every person can enjoy. I feel called to make art. To see the look on people's faces, the lit up smiles, the awe when they see my pieces, especially on the larger pieces with LED lights. I never knew in my early years that this is what I would be doing in my retirement, or that this is where my life would wind up, but it all makes sense to me. This art gives me a sense of meaning in life. I feel like I am pulling all of the struggles, the heart breaks, the hard lessons learned together and transforming them into something beautiful, colorful and full of light. I am transforming the past sixty years of my life into pure light and sharing it with the world. This inspires me beyond belief. That my art, and art in general has the power to create transformation. That art has the power to evoke emotion and bring a person outside of themselves. This is why I make art, to pull me outside of myself, but also to conjure this magic that I feel in other people's hearts. Artist Biography Over the past nine years, second generation outsider artist Peter Hazel has been creating stunning permanent mosaic sculptures in ceramic, tile and glass. Primarily depicting the natural world, Peter is a master of form and scale and imbues his pieces with energy and vibrant color palettes that reflect his love of nature. He works in both 2 and 3 dimensional sculptures, reliefs and mosaic panels. Peter prefers to work with large scales, and is currently working on a forty-five foot tall glass and steel jellyfish sculpture. However, he is happy to and has the capability to work on smaller scales for quainter spaces. He is extremely versatile as an artist and more than capable of working in any type of setting, from large commercial type developments to small private gardens. Peter is also known for his functional art, such as the "Wave Bench" currently on loan to the city of Napa, CA. Currently, he has public art (purchased and on loan) in cities throughout the West. He has exhibited his sculptures at a variety of events, festivals, and openings for the past seven years. Peter also has his art in a multitude of private residences and businesses throughout the United States. Peter's art is highly marketable, and people tend to love the playful and colorful nature of his work. His work goes well in a variety of environments, as he has collectors all over the map. He also has a wonderful, gregarious personality that tends to win people over; thus he is excellent in engaging people in his art, and inspiring people to become involved in the creative process. Beyond his excellent skills as an artist, Peter was a contractor, and business owner for over 30 years, and has insider knowledge on installing all types of art, working as a team player on commissioned pieces, and working within the design and building industry. Peter has sound knowledge of construction practices and all the legal ramifications of public and private installations. He is skilled at estimating jobs, collaborating with contractors, architects, project managers. Budget requirements are always met while exceeding expectations.

For many people taking on a Marathon or Half Marathon will be their first foray into distance running. However thousands of runners come back each year with the aim of getting that all elusive PB.
Many club and competitive runners view the marathon as a race to get a better time with – but even if you're tackling miles and miles as you strive for a PB you can still raise funds for charities that mean a lot to you.
If all of your free time is taken up training, then why not let your friends, family and colleagues know just how dedicated you are to your it. Some runners runners take on 50, 60, even 70 mile + training weeks – and we're sure that commitment deserves fundraiser support.
Asking for donations isn't quite as straight forward when running is your 'day job' so we've got some ideas that can help even the most elite of runners, but with a club or ballot place there's no steep fundraising target to have to meet.
- Why not set yourself a fundraising target to raise £1 for every mile that you run. Some plans have hundreds and hundreds of miles so you could build up a great donation, or you could ask for a £1, or more, for every mile you run.
- If you're a club runner why not bake some post meet treats that you can give to your running mates – for a donation. Don't forget to give them some warning, so they can turn up to the session with their cash ready.
- You could even hold a time sweepstake. Ask your friends and family to leave a predicted time with their donation – the closest will get a prize.
Up for the challenge? It takes just 10 minutes to set up a Virgin Money Giving page. What are you waiting for?
