If i upload a html5 game to kong does i get a revenue share from kong. Also can i put my own ads in game?
Yes you get revenue share, but I do think it's against kongregate's rules to include your own ad in the game though.
However, please note that you can't upload your HTML5 game to kong. While kong accepts both flash and html5 games, they will only host the flash ones. That means you need to find your own server to host the files that makes up your html5 game.

By now, everyone here knows that my family has an affinity towards Disney! It has been a complete honor for us to contribute to DisneysStyle on YouTube for the past two years.
Last month, a representative from Disney Parks approached us about participating in its #DisneySide launch in Disneyland. {Be sure to view my family's personal photos from the Disney Side Worldwide Campaign Launch last week! I included over 40 adorable shots from the wonderful event!}
Are you kidding me? How could we turn down an opportunity like that?
One thing they asked us to do as one of their Social Media All-Stars was to produce a video showing our Disney Side.
Last week's blog post was the first half, giving you a glimpse of the CHG children doing my hair in their own unique personal styles.
They then agreed to give me Minnie Mouse Buns, which is the basis for this tutorial!
The Disney Parks team asked me if there was anything I needed to film the tutorial, and we decided to go for it and ask if we could film it in Minnie's house in Toontown, Disneyland!
We about died when they told us they would give us early-park access to film on location! I mean, who ever gets to do that???
Well, this tutorial is the end result! We must have had over 500 compliments that day as we bounced between Disneyland and California Adventure! Mothers and daughters were constantly stopping us, requesting photos and to ask how we did it. {Fortunately, we had this tutorial on the DisneyParks YouTube channel as a place to refer them!}
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 2 hairbands, 6-8 bobby pins, hair bow clip, and hairspray.
Time Requirement: 10-12 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think of the Minnie Mouse Buns! As always, if you loved this hairstyle, please feel free to share it!
Happy Hairdoing!
Tinker Bell has to be one of the most-beloved Disney Characters in my household! CGH #4 particularly loves Tinker Bell, and we have collected all of her movies over the years!
When Disney asked me to create this hairstyle tutorial, I was super thrilled at the prospect of being inspired by Tinker Bell's adorable fairy bun!
Please note that the 2D photos of Tinker Bell in the past have her wearing a teal blue ribbon at the base of the bun, which is what I show you here. {The ribbon is replaced by green vines in the more recent 3D images.}
As we planned this hairstyle, I really needed some blonde hair to make the tutorial just right! Nope, no blonde hair anywhere in our home! Luckily for me… one of my best friends was willing to lend me her five-year old daughter, who was tickled pink to help me out!
Be sure to stay to the end of the video, because there is a really cute clip there that you will not want to miss!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 bun maker {matching hair color}, 2-3 bobby pins, 2 hair elastics, hairspray {if desired}, and blue sheer ribbon.
Time Requirement: 2-3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
This hairstyle is perfect for fairy birthday parties, Halloween, ballet, and dance. Since it is a bun, you can use it for any number of occasions like family parties, recitals, etc.
Heavens, I'll wear it too!
Enjoy your adorable Tinker Bell Bun!
If you liked this, you may very well love our other Disney Tutorials!
Please feel free to leave a comment below and let us know what you think, and as always… feel free to share!
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »I want to introduce you to a very good friend of mine, Anne from AnneOrShine on YouTube! We met Anne at VidCon in 2012 and we have seen each other many times since.
Here at CGH, I have promised to bring you the treasures we find on YouTube, and Anne is definitely one of them! She specializes in DIY crafting and fashion, specifically in recycling and repurposing items around your home! Must… SUBSCRIBE… to her… now!!!
For the hairstyle in this collaboration, I have been seeing the Teased Bun everywhere and bet that you are too! From the Red Carpet… to catwalks… the teased bun is hot, Hot, HOT!
{Not to be mistaken with the ballet bun, the teased bun has much more volume and more of a tousled, effortless look!}
After our hairstyle video, there is a link to Anne's channel where we both show you how to incorporate the hair accessories {bows and hair jewelry} we made using old ties and broken necklaces! {You can also see her video from the collab here!}
What I love about Anne's accessories, along with our hairstyle, is that you can wear the bow all day and then later switch it out for the hair jewelry strands for a more formal/fancy look for a night on the town!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 large hairband, 4-6 bobby pins, hairspray and hair bow or jewelry {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5-8 minutes
Skill Level: Easy

Comment on this post »As the second video of my collaboration with EveliniCutza on YouTube, we wanted to share with you the style we did on her channel!
It is a bun hairstyle, and one that you are likely very familiar with from Pinterest and Tumblr!
{My girls call this the "Pumpkin Bun" since it looks so much like a pumpkin and with a very "Fall-ish" feel!} We aren't sure who created the original hairstyle, but Evelina wanted to show us all her take on how to recreate it. This technique incorporates the braids into the bun, instead of on top of it…
You will need a bun maker, which you can pick up at Claire's or Sally Beauty, but you can also use pipe cleaners as Evelina shows us.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair band, 6-10 small elastics, a bun maker, 2-4 bobby pins.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Tonight I want to introduce you to, EveliniCutza, a YouTube Beauty Guru with whom we have had a friendship for over two years now! I originally found out about Evelina when she created a YouTube video response to our popular Waterfall Braid tutorial.
Evelina is from Moldova, and not only is she beautiful but she is very creative, too! I know that you will enjoy her channel, just as we do!
As a treat to all of you, we posted two videos to YouTube tonight. This one, and another that you will see here on Wednesday night.
Here I show you {using Evelina as my model} how to create a gorgeous sock bun updo, with crossed micro-braid accents. The best thing about this updo, is that you can complete it in under 5 minutes!
This hairstyle is perfect for occasions such as Prom, Homecoming, a wedding, ballet, or any other formal event! {However, this does not stop me from wearing this style in a more dressed down look!}
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 sock bun form, 2 small hair elastics, 2 large hair bands, 2-4 bobby pins, and hairspray {if desired}.

RadioShack CDS take beating after earnings falter
- Tweet
- Share this
July 23 (IFR) - Synthetic spreads and cash bonds issued by RadioShack deteriorated on Tuesday as the market increasingly priced in a likelihood that the troubled electronics retailer will default on its debt.
The company's CDS spreads ballooned out 90 basis points to 1495 in the five-year maturity - reflecting an increased expectation of default - after it reported disapponting second-quarter earnings.
According to Starmine, a Thomson Reuters data service, RadioShack is the constituent of the CDX HY20 index with the highest probability of default.
On a scale of 1 to 100, highest to lowest, it puts the company's structural default probability risk at 2.
And investors appear to be increasingly buying CDS - essentially protection against a default - in the name.
According to data from DTCC, the net notional levels of CDS outstanding on RadioShack have risen for the past three weeks. Last week net positions increased more than 8.5%, with 571 CDS contracts added - 367 of them new trades.
The bearish view of the company's profile has not been limited to credit default swaps (CDS), as its cash bonds have also been struggling in the secondary market.
RadioShack's 6.75s due May 15, 2019 were down on the day by roughly $4 and are flat on the month at $72.00. In May, the bond was near $80.
Accompanying the CDS widening and cash erosion, the company's CDS curves have either inverted or moved significantly closer to inversion in a very short period of time.
The shorter-term 3s/5s dropped to 8.66bp as of Monday from 109.87 as of July 10. Meanwhile the intermediate view reflected by the 5s/10s curve has been driven further into negativity.
It was at -111.94bp on Monday from -37.5bp on July 10.
The downwardly sloping curve implies an increasing probability of default is being priced into the name.
The company has seen sentiment crumble in recent weeks amid reports that it is seeking financial advisers.
One market source said those reports stoked concerns that the company may not be able to service its longer-term debt, and ratings agencies have concerns that its liquidity cushion - which is ample for the moment - will be worn away by cash burn.
Moody's said in March that it expects RadioShack to become "increasingly reliant on its unrestricted cash balances, as operating performance and free cash flow continue to deteriorate, resulting in reduced financial flexibility."
Moody's rates the credit at Caa1 with a negative outlook; S&P rates it at CCC+ with a negative outlook and Fitch rates it at CCC.
The company said in a filing that CFO Dorvin Lively had stepped down. CEO Joseph Magnacca, who took the post in February, is RadioShack's third chief executive in two years.

Riad from Orlando, FL
Got these to replace my cerwin vega vmax 6.5 components because the tweeters are a little harsh. These Jbl components sound incredibly awesome, they dont get as loud as the vegas but the sound quality is fantastic. Driver and tweeter build are good and the crossover is well made as well. The tweeters were a bit tricky to get into the cup holders but once they were in they looked flawless!! In all they were a good addition to my system.

Review by
Mark from Porter Ranch, CA
Currently have these comps mounted in well-deadened doors. First powered them with a Rockford P8004 and now have them getting juice from an Eclipse 36501. They accept the power much more willingly from the Eclipse amp and will play around with bridging them on the four channels of the Eclipse when more wiring arrives.
The woofers in this set can seriously produce some good midbass, but are very install-dependent. Without the doors properly deadened, you won't be getting the midbass clarity these speakers are so good at producing. Have noticed that, even without a sub, these constantly help point out new parts of the doors to deaden. You could legitimately use these without subwoofers if you're just looking for well-rounded sound. The tweeters, despite being metal domes, are respectably laid-back. They are not shrill or sibilant which has been my experience with other metal domes in the past. This might also have to do with the crossover points JBL chose in the passive crossovers as it seems the woofers carry most of the sonics and the tweeters just close it out from about 2.5KHz up. Also, I like the fact that JBL included both surface-mount and angle-mount cups that are easy to work with and not made of cheap plastic. The tweeter is easily removable from either housing as well if you need shallow mounting. I have not yet run these active, but am considering doing so in the not-so-distant future. Have been very impressed running them passive and they are meticulous at reproducing live instruments well. Drummers or fans of accurately reproduced drums will see the benefits of this more than anyone else as they know how difficult it is to get cymbals right on car audio speakers. Additionally, all guitar and bass work is well-presented. You can clearly hear individual picks and strums and bass riffs are easily distinguished. In short, this was a very worthwhile purchase and I would easily recommend this set to anyone, regardless of budget. They are serious contenders in the sub-200 (heck, even the sub-300) market.

Money and finance play a deeply fundamental role in your life. Now, let an expert professor lead you in a panoramic exploration of our monetary and financial systems, their inner workings, and their crucial role and presence in your world.
As a guiding theme of these 36 content-rich lectures, you observe the ways in which economies require efficient and evolving financial institutions and markets to fulfill their potential. In building a full view of our financial system, you delve into these and other vital subjects: central banks, commercial banks, and the Federal Reserve; interest rates and interest rate policy; bonds and stock markets; and foreign exchange and international banking.
Across the arc of this lecture series, you'll tackle key topics that shed light on the functioning of our financial system as a whole. You study the critical subject of inflation and its relationship to the consumer price index and to excess money growth. You'll investigate the causes and implications of the federal deficit and the national debt. In the international arena, you'll learn about the implications of trade deficits in global economic relationships and the question of monetary policy coordination between nations, weighing the significant benefits to the global economy of cooperation between central banks.
This is a rare chance to gain a grounded understanding of our monetary and financial systems, and to grasp the vital elements of finance that directly affect our way of life, our national concerns, and your own life and future.

"Desperately needs the study guide to understand"
Although the conceptual portions of the course were easily understood, much of this course cannot be retained or understood without the study guide. When the speaker goes into great detail of equations and charts, it is impossible to follow while driving or just listening.
Only about a third of this course was understandable/useable without the study guide.
Until Audible gets the rights to allow you to download the study guide, I would not recommend this course. Too much valuable information is lost without it.
"The fundamentals, skipping the hype and trickery"
This lecture series does what academics do best for me (full disclosure, I am one): based on much painstaking background work (invisible to the listener), the professor puts together plain, clear explanations, and a map, in effect, of what the parts are, how they work, and why they are this way. (Thus some parts may be obvious to the listener, but the overall content is very good.) Meanwhile, the technical terminology is built right in.
A critical point is, the professor does not have an axe to grind, a hidden agenda. I have heard and read countless explanations since 2008 of banking, finance, Great Recession, the history, etc., from politicians, authors, news, etc., in which (1) the fundamental concepts are not made clear, and (2) the speaker/writer starts right in with a biased, often emotion-laden, simplistic "explanation" designed merely to manipulate the listener, mostly because there is a hidden interest somewhere: getting election/power, selling splashy books, etc. The listener can come away "feeling smart," and perhaps in a suitable emotive huff of anger at the supposed "bad guys," without ever learning a reasonable amount about the underlying business / topic. THIS audio is the antidote. To paraphrase Hendrix: learn before you burn.
The prof uses generally smaller words, and speaks in a slower cadence, than some others, which I appreciate, as this fits well with listening while doing another activity like driving, or my endless hikes (sometimes while reacting to traffic, etc.). I am able to mix all this together and come out with good comprehension, without a lot of rewinds.
"Bank mysteries only somewhat less mysterious"
I listened to this to help me gain a deeper understanding of what the hell it is that the Fed and other central bankers do. It helped somewhat. Salemi's explanations are clear and he's unbiased in his presentation (unlike, say, Ron Paul's End the Fed). The topics cover more territory than just central banking. Here are the lecture titles to help you know what the course covers:
1. The Importance of Money
2. Money as a Social Contract
3. How Is Money Created?
4. Monetary History of the United States
5. Local Currencies and Nonstandard Banks
6. How Inflation Erodes the Value of Money
7. Hyperinflation Is the Repudiation of Money
8. Saving—The Source of Funds for Investment
9. The Real Rate of Interest
10. Financial Intermediaries
11. Commercial Banks
12. Central Banks
13. Present Value
14. Probability, Expected Value, and Uncertainty
15. Risk and Risk Aversion
16. An Introduction to Bond Markets
17. Bond Prices and Yields
18. How Economic Forces Affect Interest Rates
19. Why Interest Rates Move Together
20. The Term Structure of Interest Rates
21. Introduction to the Stock Market
22. Stock Price Fundamentals
23. Stock Market Bubbles and Irrational Exuberance
24. Derivative Securities
25. Asymmetric Information
26. Regulation of Financial Firms
27. Subprime Mortgage Crisis and Reregulation
28. Interest Rate Policy at the Fed and ECB
29. The Objectives of Monetary Policy
30. Should Central Banks Follow a Policy Rule?
31. Extraordinary Tools for Extraordinary Times
32. Central Bank Independence
33. The Foreign Exchange Value of the Dollar
34. Exchange Rates and International Banking
35. Monetary Policy Coordination
36. Challenges for the Future
For what it's worth, I had a really hard time finishing this, taking almost four months. I'm generally not a fan of the Great Courses (I listened to two others on cybersecurity and critical decision-making). The courses seem to share the same strength: organization/conceptual clarity in surveying the various topics you might expect to find under the topic's umbrella. But they also share the same weakness, i.e., a certain superficial quality. I did not think that Salemi dumbed down the lectures as I felt with the other Great Courses. But, IMHO, he did not linger long enough on some difficult issues.
Also, you should know that this lecture series comes from a video. Salemi references many graphs, charts, and formulas that you obviously can't see. In some cases (e.g., the explanations of several formulas), the absent visuals made the lecture quite hard to follow.
Salemi, while an excellent lecturer, is one of the slowest speakers you'll find on Audible. At 2x speed, he sounded like a normal lecturer.
All in all, while I'd recommend passing, I'm not sure what book out there is better as a survey of these topics.
"Visuals and mathematical formulas expressed."
Need to stick with principles and inferences as charts and formulas used for visual explanation of ideas is not effective in an audio format.
Yes very much. Most of their courses are well suited for audio.
The professor was not the problem. The format was the problem.
It did give principles that could be understood and were well explained. It just could not be followed once formulas and charts were being referred to.
"Good info but listening not enough. Need visuals"
I bought this course after having listened to or read a number of books on economics. I have been trying to find the person who has some idea of what we should expect in the future. A fool's errand? Not as much as one may think!
The course is about as comprehensive on the subject as a reasonable person could expect. He begins with the basics: what money is, and then proceeds gradually to the point where one cannot keep up without being able to look at the visual aids he refers to. Beware, this is a deeper subject than you may have thought.
My only real criticism is that when he mentions the sub-prime mortgage collapse he seems to be obtuse about what the prime mover of the fiasco was, namely government pressure to lend money to folks who could not afford it. He mentions this not at all. He gives no mention to what I saw on a firsthand basis: Persons who became mortgage brokers almost overnight during the early 2000s, who had money to loan to anyone. "If you know someone who wants to buy a house, send them to me. I have people who want to lend money!" they spouted cheerfully. I thought it peculiar at the time but after the collapse came I learned that most of the badly written mortgages were sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, quasi-government organizations who took any and all paper off the hands of these unscrupulous agents. These ubiquitous brokers generated mortgages solely for the fees they could charge, only to unload the risk on the taxpayers via Freddie and Fannie. To neglect this aspect of the collapse is hardly commendable. It leaves the student uninformed of something very important. Is there a political allegiance here? I wonder.
Nonetheless, he redeems himself at the end where he states flatly that without a policy change a crisis IS coming. He does not elaborate but seems to assume that his listener now has enough information to reach that conclusion on their own. I guess that's so. This prof. is one of many economic gurus who see trouble on the horizon.
What everyone should know? Indeed!
"Great COurse"
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. I have listened to it every morning whilst I drive to work and over the period of a few weeks feel as if I now understand some fundamentals of economics that have alluded me to date. I come from the East End of London, and back in the day when I went to school we were never taught any of this type of information. I run a business which nowadays is no mean feat. CEOs have to understand complex and demanding information. The learning never stops. These courses are really helpful and this particular course is easy to really one of the best I have listened to. The lecturer is a consummate communicator and I am pleased I have invested my time in listening to this course.
Baseball Fan and Hawaiian Music Afficianado
"Informative and well presented"
I admit it, I am a bit of a geek when it comes to social studies, particularly history, politics and economics. I am absolutely fascinated with the ways that humans interact with each other. In fact, I have often thought about going back to school to study economics.
Professor Salemi clearly understands the material, inside and out. What's more, he presents the material in a way which is not only clear but compelling and interesting. He is able to speak at a level which is accessible without being condescending.
I listen to a lot of spoken material (I am in the middle of two other audiobooks now and I subscribe to several podcasts). I find myself rationing this one because I like it so much that I want to save it for a time when I can really enjoy it.
My only critique (and the reason why I gave four stars for story) is that some of the material is very basic and information that I have known a long time. As I said, I am a bit of a geek with social studies. For me, it is a good review. If you are unfamiliar with money and banking, it is good that Professor Salemi outlines the basics.
Two thumbs up!
"Not good for an audio format"
The speaker constantly refers to graphs and charts... it would be great if I were sitting at a computer watching it, but then it wouldn't be an audio book would it? Also, the speaker has long unnatural pauses in between words, to the point that I have to check to make sure its still playing.
Listen to "How the Stock Market Works" from the Great Courses... it's not as in depth, but it's an easy listen, with an enthusiastic speaker, and gives a great overview.
Classics, history, historical fiction, marketing, Napoleonic stuff and of course 'Boys own Adventure'. This is my bent. Occasional self help as well.
"Money Makes the World Go Round"
Professor Michael Salemi has convinced me that the banking system is important, in fact you could say has created the modern world however I don't think I am any wiser on how it all works. Based on the US system he does touch on Europe and a little on Asia. He isn't the best narrator but he does know his stuff and comes across as honest and real.
"Yawn. . ."
Not if he is the reader/presenter. I'll bet his students struggle to stay awake in the classroom. The material he presents is valuable, albeit not particularly new or unique, but his presentation is sorely lacking
Yes. Great concept.
See the headline for my review. . .

Gunnar's digital performance eyewear is a range of spectacles designed for people who spend too much time in front of a screen. Typically stylish and yellow-lensed, Todd occasionally wears a pair of Gunnars while doing the GNC show.
Joe Croft dropped in to show off the latest specs and Gunnar currently has a four-way line-up with Advanced Computer, Advanced Gaming, Premium 3D and Advanced Outdoor eyewear. As you might guess, three out of the four are primarily for indoor use only.
The Advanced Computer eyewear is for those people who use computer screens all day and the glasses help with the typical symptoms of prolonged computer use, such as a lowering in the blink rate leading to dry eyes, tired eye muscles from short range focussing and poor light quality from fluorescent lights. The technology in Gunnar glasses addresses each of those issues to make the eyes more comfortable while using a computer screen.
The new Spring 2012 collection is now out at Gunnars. Prices from $80 – $300 for standard lenses. Budget up to $700 for custom prescription lenses from Zeiss.

A shocking exit from the Fox TV series "House" Tuesday night is turning into an equally unexpected entrance into the White House for actor Kal Penn. He will be serving as liaison between President Barack Obama's administration and Hollywood.
On Tuesday, Penn's character, Kutner, the junior member of a team that serves under the brilliant and irascible physician Gregory House, committed suicide. The death, which had not been telegraphed at all in the shows leading up to it, was a shocking twist to the season.
"I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House," Penn told Entertainment Weekly magazine. "I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there, so I'm going to be the associate director in the White House office of public liaison. They do outreach with the American public and with different organizations. They're basically the front door of the White House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House. It's similar to what I was doing on the campaign."
When he informed the show's producing staff of his plans to quit, they reluctantly wrote in the suicide, Penn said.
"We had a very long discussion," Penn said. "And I remember David [executive producer David Shore] saying, 'Are you telling me that you're unhappy with the show and that you want to leave so you can go off and do a different show?' And I was like, 'Not at all. I'm actually saying the exact opposite, which is I'm having an incredible time, but there's something aching in me to do something completely different and take a break from the acting thing for a while.' And with their blessing, we were able to work it out."
White House spokesman Shin Inouye said Tuesday that Penn would join the staff as an associate director in the Office of Public Liaison. His role will be to connect Obama with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as arts and entertainment groups.
Penn starred as Kumar in the movie, "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay."
Penn was an Obama supporter during the campaign. The White House says a start date for Penn hasn't been set.
The hire was first reported by Entertainment Weekly.
