text: Business Groupon's new checkout system replaces cash registers with tablets Above: Groupon's Gnome checkout system May 19, 2014 7:58 AM Michael Leibel 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Groupon is launching a tablet-based checkout system that will soon become an integral part of running a Groupon campaign. The system, named Gnome (pronounced like the genetic material encoded in DNA, not like the plastic garden figurines, although the spelling is certain to lead to confusion there), provides merchants with sophisticated tools that will help them understand their customers better, according to a press release from the company. The software runs on an iPad outfitted with special hardware. It tracks cash, credit, and debit transactions and allows customers to instantly redeem Groupon vouchers via Bluetooth. Gnome also includes payment processing (for which it takes a 1.8 percent cut, plus 15 cents for Visa and Mastercard purchases), integration with accounting and marketing software, and database creation, which lets merchants automatically store customer names and contact information. "Gnome will serve as an operating system for merchants to run their entire operation and enable them to create real-time promotions that bring customers into their business when they need them the most," chief executive officer Eric Lefkofsky said in the press release. Groupon will charge businesses $10 a month for the Gnome system, according to Re/code. Groupon also expects all of its Groupon-offering merchants, which total over tens of thousands, to adopt the service. It remains to be seen what merchants think of the new fees, especially given the poor retention rate businesses experience with Groupon users. The company says adoption of the service is necessary because Gnome will soon become a standard part of running a promotion for both vendors and customers. Groupon is packaging its existing point of-sale system into a better, mandatory product for its merchants. By providing businesses with iPads, customer management tools, and easier coupon redemption, Groupon believes it can drive adoption of its promotions while bringing the service into closer competition with Square for payment processing for small businesses.

policy came to be. A constructive way to do so is to look historically at the evolution of drug policy and the language that has been used to discuss it.
Current drug policy has its roots in the adoption of the Harrison Narcotics Act in 1914.2 Although framed as a tax measure, the goal of the statute was to suppress the nonmedical use of what are called narcotic drugs (a classification that encompassed morphine, heroin, and other opiates, as well as cocaine). The effect was to criminalize the manufacture, sale, and possession of these drugs outside medical channels. An aggressive campaign of enforcement by federal authorities was deployed in the 1920s to terminate the practice of opiate maintenance by physicians and clinics. Eventually, the prohibitory approach was extended by Congress to marijuana in 1937, and during the 1930s and 1940s all state legislatures enacted a parallel set of laws. Penalties for narcotics offenses were increased in the 1950s, and new psychoactive pharmaceutical products were brought under federal control in the 1960s in an effort to suppress nonmedical use of these drugs. This accumulation of federal and state antidrug statutes was replaced in 1970 by the federal Controlled Substances Act and by parallel acts at the state level.
Until the 1970s, enforcement of this comprehensive array of drug prohibitions was the predominant instrument of the nation's antidrug policy. What was called the law enforcement approach was generally understood as a relatively complete policy: drugs are dangerous to the social order. Therefore, it is both just and useful to prosecute those who supply drugs and those who use them. By setting out laws against these activities and enforcing them, individuals would be dissuaded and deterred from supplying and using drugs. If some persisted despite the prohibition, it would be both just and effective to incapacitate them as threats to society.
In the late 1950s and 1960s, however, the dominance of this law enforcement model was challenged by some influential lawyers and physicians who wanted to respond to drug addiction with medical methods (including civil commitment) rather than prosecution and punishment. In their view, chronic drug use was not a wholly voluntary choice but rather a disease to which some helplessly succumbed. The disease may have had its roots in biology, in the social conditions in which people lived, or in the dependence-producing power of the drugs themselves. But whatever

The kids are running around the house screaming. One has a cat, the other a bottle of dishwashing liquid. They're heading for the bathroom. Your head is pounding as you rush after them; you arrive seconds before your Persian sinks her claws into your five-year-old. After you dry off the cat, lecture the children, and bring out some popcorn to distract them, that extra cup of coffee and sweet roll are starting to look pretty good. If you smoke, you're probably reaching for the pack by now. After all, you deserve it, don't you?

Santa shouldn't be the only one making lists. In the excitement of opening presents, cards have a tendency to get lost very quickly. Have a sheet of paper and pen handy to jot down the givers, the gifts, and the receivers. No need to make a production of it, but this list will come in so very handy later on.

Uni of New England opens Lync to 23,000
news Microsoft has revealed that Armidale's University of New England has licensed its Lync unified communications platform for the use of 23,000 students and staff, in a deployment which appears to set a new record for the use of the technology in Australian educational institutions and which opens UNE's remote learning doors further.
The contract between the vendor and UNE was announced in a media release issued by Microsoft last week. According to UNE, the deployment is the largest within the Australian Pacific education sector and will enable UNE students, faculty and staff to make calls and benefit from online lecture delivery and collaboration, wherever they live.
"We have a long history of pioneering distance education that began in the 1950s with Australia's first distance learning courses," said University of New England Vice-Chancellor, Professor Jim Barber. "Technology has allowed us to remove the 'distance' from education and bring face-to-face online learning to people in the areas in which they live."
Microsoft and UNE said that universities are currently changing rapidly to keep ahead of educational developments in an attempt to provide students and staff with access to the most up-to-date resources, technology tools and information. As a result, for the 2013/2014 university year, UNE will be increasing its investment in technology infrastructure resulting in "some of the highest relative investment" in the university sector in Australia and New Zealand.
"At UNE, our staff and students can now benefit from the most innovative online learning experience through software-based audio, video, conferencing, and collaboration via Microsoft Lync," said UNE IT Director, Robert Irving "Microsoft Lync will connect both current and potential future students with our educators and staff to improve overall learning experiences and support whilst giving our researchers the ability to achieve faster results by making it easier to connect people with people and people with knowledge."
UNE will also take advantage of the global reach of Skype and its connectivity with Microsoft Lync as a new channel for student recruitment, both locally and offshore. Potential international and interstate students interested in the university will soon have the ability to call UNE for free via Skype, where previously they would have incurred international call charges.
"Today's workforce and workplace is mobile and in order to prepare students to succeed, we need to encourage and enable them to become mobile learners and active participants beyond the walls of the classroom," said George Stavrakakis, Education Director, Microsoft Australia. "They want to be able to learn in different places; not only in the real world but also in virtual environments – or a combination of the two – which Microsoft Lync and Skype enable."
According to Microsoft and UNE, the rise in people studying later in life means that universities need to be sympathetic to the needs of students who are juggling lifestyle commitments such as work and family. UNE's technology investment will provide "new cost-efficient education" to a broader demographic of students in "an accessible and collaborative environment". It is also, according to the pair, "creating a new era of digital learning", where teachers and students can learn and work both in-person or virtually via their PC, tablet or smartphone. UNE also has plans to leverage the broader Microsoft hardware platform, in particular Xbox, PixelSense (formerly known as Surface) and its new Surface tablets.
"Rather than simply replace their phone system, UNE saw an opportunity to embrace a truly unified communication and collaboration platform" said John Schneider, managing director for Computer Systems Australia, a Microsoft partner which has worked with Microsoft on the rollout. "Lync enables the University to deliver a superior set of educational tools directly into the hands of its users through the device of their choice, no matter where they are."
It is not expected that all of UNE's students and staff will take up Lync immediately. Instead, it is believed that the technology will be made available to students and staff, alongside other technologies for remote access. However, it is also believed that the use of Lync will be gradually integrated into the way the university interacts with its students, allowing a closer integration between staff and students than would have easily been possible with the unified communications tool. It appears that the core of the Lync rollout is a deployment to staff, with its use by students forming a 'satellite' around that core deployment.
It has become common for large enterprises in Australia to deploy Lync as a unified communications solution, alongside other Microsoft software platforms such as Exchange, Office and Office 365, Sharepoint and Windows Server.
For example, Australian organisations known to have deployed Lync locally over the past several years, or to be planning a deployment, include V8 Supercars, the City of Sydney, Healthcare Australia, Caltex, Queensland Transport, Service Stream and the Commonwealth Bank.

Get with it people, it's not a makeup remover wipe. Sure, I thought it was at first, but good thing I read at least a dozen reviews on any product before I use it :) anyway, I suppose I have sensitive skin (hello egzema) and I had mild acne which for me is a huge deal (normally I have a pretty clear complexion). So I got these on an im-very-stressed-cuz-of-my-acne-therefore-making-it-worse-and-totally-desperate walmart run. I found out they WERENT MAKEUP REMOVER WIPES and someone said they used them after washing their face & it did wonders. I did the same thing, and ta da! My skin dramatically cleared up. Sure its not completely cleared, but I'm thinking of trying one of nutrogena's cleansers.
The packaging is pretty average, so nothing new there. The scent is certainly strong & lingering, but I personally love it. They are a little drying, but if u have a good moisturizer you'll be fine :)

Okay people, this is NOT a makeup removing wipe. This wipe contains salicylic acid which is for acne. It will be drying on the skin because of its acne fighting properties. This wipe does the job its intended to do. It DOES fight oily skin. This product smells like..grapefruit...figures :)
Anyways, I thought the packaging could use improvement. Like many facial wipes, it's in a plastic "bag" like container with a sticky flap you can open and close to take out a wipe. Sometimes that flap will lose its "stickyness" and then it won't close properly which will make for dry wipes :/

This is not a make up remover wipe. It's to prevent acne and deep clean your skin. Deep clean. Means it's going in your pores and pushing up all the dirt. Hence all the break outs everyone is having. I love this product. It cleans my skin. Makes it soft. I personally love the smell. I've noticed a difference in only 2 days.
Everyone's skin type is different. It may work for you and it may not. And btw while reading all the reviews, it's not meant to smell like grape fruit juice. It's medicine. Duh
I love these wipes!!

I guess there is a reason you got extra points at shoppers drug mart if you bought 2 packages and thank god I didn't!!! I have been using them for 4 or 5 days and noticing my skin has been breaking out, huge pimples everywhere even on my fricken eyelid!! My forehead especially though. Im throwing my wipes out because they are the only thing I can think of that is making me break out so bad. And they make my face so oily its so gross. Horrible little wipes. The smell is strong and it work in a perfume store so it doesn't bother me too much but I can imagine someone who isn't used to scents not handling this "Grapefruit" smell very well !!

Well I purchased these on a whim in a pack with the scrub. I am a nurse and have an extremely strong stomach and the scent made me so nauseated that I had to take a shower! I guess they clean ok and the scrub isn't bad it's just the god awful smell!!!

I hate hate hate the smell good god! But on the flip side it did clean my skin no burning nothing no residue. However, i am not a fan of having so many steps take take off makeup off my entire face. I wont buy these again bc i cannot and certainly will not put these near my eyes. Good try neutrogena but epic fail.

These are not make-up removal wipes! Don't use them near your eyes.
They're more of an easy acne treatment. I use them after I've washed my face and removed my make-up and they've done great things for my skin!

My only criticism was the food as the menu was dated and often food came out cold.
We had a wonderful holiday here in the 2nd week of June 2015, this is our second visit. The lodge is fabulous for a large family or 2 families wanting to share. There is a 10 minute walk to the beach but it is well worth it when you get there, great for kids!! The Sunday carvery lunch in the onsite pub was exceptionally good too. All positive
A good holiday with young kids. Play ground and pool were both liked. The only negative was the path down to the beach - it was difficult with young kids and a long walk back up.
Good location, nice and quiet, children really enjoyed the outdoor play area.
Chalet was dirty especially tiny bathroom. Bar and other staff were polite and friendly .Not the best week to stay with gales and rain.We will not use a chalet again
It was a lovely park, with a large outside play park and soft play in the restaurant. The pool was fantastic, exstreamly clean and warm! It is situated in a nice area with lots of beautiful views and there were lots of attractions which where only about a half hour drive away (Marwell zoo is brilliant, longdown farm, new forest wildlife park and bournemouth oceanarium). The park shop has just about everything you will need at fairly reasonable prices (from cling film to pizzas and gifts) and all the staff (including the security guard) where all very helpful and friendly. The only thing that really let it down was that it was advatised that there was bowling, which there is not and the member of staff said they hadn't had a bowl there for a long time and it was not even on the site map we were given. So that was a bit of a let down. But it is still a fantastic site.
Have stayed at Naish several times and had another great family holiday using Naish's facilities and the beach.
We stayed for a week in the lodges overlooking the isle of wight it is such a lovely view, we really enjoyed ourselves, the accommodation was a little bit dated but very clean and tidy. This was our second visit to the same lodges cos we loved it so much.
Had a four night stay ,had a snack lunch on arrival as we were early.
Very pleasant and reasonable price.Had two young grandchildren staying in
another chalet and we used the swimming pool several times,good that it opened at 8.30!Lots of nice eateries within the area and close to bournmouth.
On the down side the beach was a long way down and not great.
My daughter had a chalet in seaview which was on the cliff unfenced and very dangerous for little ones.
Excellent holiday
Nice location, facilities good, lodge welcoming, nice touches for arrival. Expensive (school holidays) but would stay again.
Already booked to go back in September
The lodge was very clean and had everything we needed. The swimming pool complex was very good. We had a lovely holiday with two small grandchildren and will definitely go again.
The holiday was very pleasant with lots of things to do and places to visit. Really beautiful countryside. Would definitely visit again.
Beautiful lodge Amd great location

Wind turbine parts are unloaded at port
The BBC Plata arrived at the port Monday night, bringing more than 3,100 tons of equipment from Siemens Power Generation division. Sixteen to 20 vessels are expected, about one every 10 days.
Equipment includes parts such as the nacelle, or power generator, weighing 193,000 pounds and the tower top at 115 feet long. The turbines, once put together, will weigh almost 1 million pounds and stand 262 feet tall. The contract, announced last month, will bring equipment to the port through 2007, bringing in 116 complete units in 2006 and 181 units in 2007.
Port executive director John LaRue said the contract would bring about $225,000 in revenue and employ about 18 stevedores.
Each unit will require 15 trucks of which eight are permitted loads with each wind turbine weighing 352 tons. The port was chosen to replace the ports of Houston and Beaumont because of its accessibility and lack of traffic congestion, said Clare Bertel, Siemens transportation coordinator.

Artiss README Parser: README file could not be found or is malformed - Super Simple Contact Form
Super Simple Contact Form
66 Thoughts on "Super Simple Contact Form"
Great plugin, thanks!
My only suggestion would be that you remove the line 'Use the form below to send us a comment or question'. I am using this on my blog and need it to say 'me' instead of 'us'.
Otherwise it works great.
When I insert the plugin it works great but it changes the header of the page from the title of the page to the first sentence of the post. Is there a simple fix?
Thank you!
I Love this Plugin …
Just installed the plugin (v1.3) – it's exactly what we need, no frills, no configuration, nd it worked first time. The test messages came to my email address OK, but the Name field missed the last letter. For example, if I put 'Fred' in the Name field in the contact form, the sender shows up as 'Fre' in my Inbox (Yahoo mail online). Your Changelog shows that 1.2 fixed this – I installed from the Plugin section of WordPress, and it says version 1.3. Should I deinstall it and go to 1.2? Gillian
KISS software FTW! So simple, so easy, so efficient. Thumbs up for your work, and many thanks.
Hmmm, I'm mystified. I stumbled upon your plugin after my former plugin silently stopped working…meaning that i missed lord knows how many e-mails, despite the fact that it told the user their message was successfully sent. So I ditched that one and installed this one. But this isn't working either! Assuming that this very simple plugin isn't the issue, do you have any ideas about what would interfere with its functionality? Thanks for making such a streamlined plugin–I hope I get the chance to watch it work!
If I install this, where does it show up on my webpage. I have 5 clickable links across the top of the page, and I'd like to add a "Contact Us" link.
Thanks for the help!
im using the 2010 theme, i installed a booking form on this site also, the contact form works and looks great except I never get the emails. The booking form sends a email also. But the contact form does not. Please help. I really wanna keep using your form.
Nice plugin, but there is no input validation at all. It'll send an email when you click send, even if you don't fill in any fields so a couple of simple checks to ensure nothing is blank and that the email is in email format would be good (expected even).
Great plugin! Only it stopped working with the recent update. I first installed it recently, two updates ago, and it worked then. I didn't check after the first update, but after this last one, I just don't receive the emails anymore. Like some other people, it does say the message is sent successfully, but I never receive it. Difference is, nothing has changed in my settings between first install, when it worked, and now, so I can only assume it has something to do with the update? Any suggestions to what it could be/what I can do?
Can I use your plugin in the sidebar? I used the widget "text" and typed [contact] but it did not work. works great in the body of my webpage
Hi, i just made a update for super-simple-contact-form so it will work with translations and i made a german translation. So please contact me and tell me where to send the zip package with the update.
Thanks for the update it's a great enhancement. It's working well (v1.5.3)
Do you think it would be possible to also add some html5 validation (type="email" and required="required") . Support is now pretty good and the fall back is already in place (although a valid email address check would also be welcome as would making the subject mandatory). Perhaps you could also indicate optional fields as such?
Thanks again this simple and effective plugin.
I just installed your program. Really like it but when I do a "test" submit, the email I receive doesn't have the comment/question in it. When I fill in the form, in that section, the text appears to be grayed out a little.???? I really want to use this plug-in but it does me no good if I can't get the message. Thanks B.W.
The update fixed it. Thanks
It's also sending the email twice with each submit. I get the "Subject" text but no "Message" text.
The update fixed it. Thanks
Hi – I just installed this plugin, which is just what I wanted. I tried sending a message using the contact form – it sent a message to the proper email but the text that was typed in the message didn't appear in the email, and the sender's email address didn't appear in the email even though it said the message was sent successfully – can you help me fix this?
I activated the plug-in and typed [contact] in the contact us page below our map and when I save and view page all I get is the background. The map disappears and the contact phone number etc are gone as well. I get my header and footer but all the white patterned space has disappeared. Can you offer any assistance? Thank you!!
I've installed your fantastic plug-in but the empty fields overlap the space available in the side-bar menu. How can I reduce the width of these boxes?
I really like your plugin, only all the essentials in nice and easy package! Thank You!
One small but handy improvement would be to add the "Send"-button text to be localisable as rest of the texts are. Other small thing would be to test atleast if email-address string has @-char there or not.
Love the simplicity of this comment form but although it works and send a comment – where does it go. It is as though the comment disappears. I receive 3 emails telling me the same thing – that a message has left but there is nothing at all in the comments section of my dashboard. It is the theme I am using or is there something else I am missing? Please get back to me
Signed – Getting Desperate
I'm lovin…. just lovin your plugin
One request tho…. where within the dashboard can I find the shortcodes?
I'm using it on Multisite so need it to be available for each site.
I enter the clients email address in settings and he receives 2 identical emails for each form submission. I enter my email address in settings and I receive 1 email for each form submission. Settings won't let me leave the email field blank… any suggestions? Thanks.
First of all thanks a lot for creating this wonderful plugin. It was absolutely what I wanted. A lightweight and simple plugin which does its job perfectly. I just wanted a minimal plugin which doesnt take server resources and just sends emails to me.
I have a few issues and I'll appreciate if you can help me in fixing them:
In received emails characters like double-quotes, etc don't show. They get converted in codes such as \" and \'. How to fix it?
The plugin doesnt validate email ID format. You can enter anything and it'll accept. It should check whether its an email ID or not.
The plugin causes 1 error in W3C validator:
============ document type does not allow element "style" here
The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements — such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" — or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
Can you please fix it?
- I want to append a predefined word in subject of all received emails. For example it should add a word "[My Blog Name]" in beginning of all emails sent by this plugin. It'll help me in identifying which emails were sent by this plugin and which were sent directly by a person to my email ID.
Thanks again for this great plugin.
My comment was changed a little by wordpress because I used a tag "Style Type" in W3C Validator error code.
After you install the plugin what do you do? Where does the contact form show up? Do I need to create a contact page? Please respond.
Thansk dude!
An remarkably simple contact form plug in! Exactly what I was looking for. Who are you, what do you want. 'nuff said.
Thanks much!
Hi, i just installed this great plugin. Is it possible to customize the send button?
Thanks so far.
Found it!
Please disregard last message— seems a different plugin (NoShop) generated this error Your plugin works as expected
Just the ticket, a simple contact form.
I have a question about input sanitation though (I'm not that familiar with WP API). I peeked at the source code and it looks like the only DB calls are to get admin email and captcha, so there is no worry of SQL injection? (I see the esc_attr – I assume this is enough to prevent script and html troubles.)
Thanks for saving me the trouble of kludging together my own lightweight contact form!
when i am filling email address in this format [email@example.com] mail is not being sent but when i am entering only xyz mail is getting delivered and in from address i am receiving xyz@nameserver please help sorry for poor english
Your form is really great. Just a question: Whenever an apostrophe is used in the message box, it comes back as a string of characters instead of an apostrophe. Is there any way I can fix this? Here's an example:
Hi again — I\'m sending this from your Contact page. Again, please send me a reply from both of your accounts if you\'ve received this as expected. Thanks.
Just adding to my last comment — the string of characters aren't appearing the same in my last post as they are when they come from the contact form. From the contact form, the apostrophe appears as "\'"
LOL!! Ok, I'll try this one more time: the apostrophe appears as \ & # 0 3 9 ;
backslash, ampersand, number sign, zero, three, nine, semi-colon
Super simple plugin, just what I needed. Thanks, this is good
hiii i just installed the plugin….. but am not receiving an email
Hey, when folks go to put their info in, they are immediately directed to the wordpress sign in page. I was informed of this yesterday, went to a different computer and tried it myself and they were right! Hmmm….It used to work. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for this great plugin! I've changed the email Adress of the admin, but the mails are still going to the old adress. Any suggestions for me?
I installed the Super Simple Contact form but there it is not showing up any where. I don't know what you mean when you say just type contact. Where do I type this?
This plugin would be perfect for me, except that I need one that uses ajax instead of reloading the page upon submission. Ever consider adding that one option?

Major EU research grant focused on stem cell-based treatment of diabetes
Stem cells
A grant of 6 million euros for the HumEn project brings together leading European stem cell-research groups and industrial partners in a coordinated and collaborative effort aimed at developing glucose-responsive, insulin-producing beta cells for future cell-replacement therapy in diabetes. The project will contribute significantly to better treatment and quality of life for the increasing population of diabetics.
The HumEn project, supported through the European Commission's HEALTH research programme and headed by Professor Henrik Semb from the Danish Stem Cell Center (DanStem) at the University of Copenhagen, strengthens the future perspectives for cell based treatment of diabetes. The project is important for keeping Europe on the forefront of stem cell research, creating new commercial possibilities and increased competitiveness for the European biomedical industry. The grant is for four years.
Best stem cell researchers in a unique, coordinated effort
Despite progress in creating insulin-producing beta cells from human pluripotent stem cells, full maturation into transplantable beta cells that can cure diabetes has so far not been achieved in the laboratory.
"The mechanisms controlling the maturation of human pluripotent stem cells towards insulin-producing beta cells are extremely complex," explains head of project, Professor Henrik Semb:
"But with this grant, we are able to bring together some of the best stem cell research groups in Europe. I believe that HumEn's unique constellation of research competences, the interdisciplinarity, and the very coordinated and collaborative approach that our project is based on, will enable us to reach the goal of developing functional, glucose-responsive, insulin-producing beta cells, and thus bring the new therapy closer to the patients."
All partners, six academic and three industrial, contribute state-of-the art expertise in complementary research areas including beta cell development and physiology, beta cell transplantation, human pluripotent stem cell biology, polymer chemistry, niche engineering, and epigenetics.
HumEn is part of larger, European effort
The European Commission's HEALTH research programme recently granted seven stem cell research projects. Common for these projects is the focus on understanding the underlying mechanism of the self-renewing capacity of stem cells and their differentiation into mature functional cell types suitable for various cell-based therapeutic applications.
HumEn has already established closer, collaborative relations to three of the other projects. The four consortia will collaborate and coordinate training and outreach activities, sharing relevant basic knowledge and benefit from interdisciplinary and intersectorial synergies across the projects. The three other projects are: PluriMes, a project focused on directing pluripotent stem cells to become bone and muscle forming cells; Neurostemcellrepair, a project aimed at taking human stem cells through the final steps toward clinical application in cell replacement therapy for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's Disease; and ThymiStem, a program to develop stem cell approaches to boosting the immune system by repairing the thymus, a key organ for producing important immune cells.

Got this stick and was amazed at how well it works. I first tired it on an old white tshirt that had pit stains and after 2 scrub downs they were gone. Second time was to get a strawberry stain out of LOs shirt and it also worked. The shirts looked brand spankin' new. Definitely recommend for anyone with a very stubborn stain :)

I hope you get the guys you need. I would help but am stacked up with work at the moment and have no experience in modding EAW.
Assume command as the ambitious Hierarchy, the robotic Novus, the mysterious Masari, or the desperate humans in this mod inspired by the game Universe at War by SEGA and Petroglyph. New gameplay mechanics, new units, and an exciting campaign bring the war to life with additional factions to add to the chaos. So what will you do? Conquer, or survive? All models added in this mod are property of SEGA or Petroglyph, used with permission of their respective creators, or were made by the developers of Triumph of the Hierarchy. Permission was recieved from Petroglyph and SEGA prior to the start of work on the mod.
Progress has been slow of late, but opportunities are presented in the mayhem.

Recently, our texture artist has reported that the motherboard on his main computer broke (I don't know the details), but this means that we will be without a texture artist for the time-being. Please, if any of you reading can apply textures and are currently available, we need your help to pick up where he left off!
Additionally, we need someone who can rig and/or animate models. Getting bones on the models is another thing holding the mod back, and when it comes to models, I can't do a thing. We need help if the mod is to continue! Once all the models are done, a space and conquest beta is a month away. It's just the time until then that is uncertain. Riggers will be tasked with placing bones on space models (such as the Worldblazer, Odin, and the others shown) and redoing the rigging of Hierarchy Walkers so that the Assembly Walker and Science Walker may make an appearance in the mod.
Also, though this is less critical, any mappers who want to see their work published or are simply trying to become known, Triumph Studios Modding will gladly feature your maps in the Galactic Conquest, Skirmish modes, or Campaigns of Triumph of the Hierarchy. Simply send me a message if you are interested! Maps will be subject to approval, but this is a good opportunity to hone your skills.
We would also like translators to help make our mod more easily available to our non-English-speaking fans. So far Spanish and German language patches are underway, but anyone who speaks another language, such as French, Russian, Chinese, etc., would be appreciated to help with translation. Once, again, please message me if you are interested.
If you know anyone who could help, please contact them and send them a link to this article. If they are interested, have them message me!
Thank you for you support and your attention.
HammBoyTheDestroyer and the TSM Staff

I know it looks like Path, that was the point :-)
To me, Path's design fits in well with the main focus behind a blog. So I made this. The code is still ugly and needs to be cleaned up and such, but it is up and working in the latest of the "big 3" browsers. Which is fine with me for now.
I only have the text posts coded at the moment, will need to work on the rest soon.

As predicted, Feaster was pretty quiet today, scooping Brett Carson from the waiver wire and trading a 7th round pick for 36-year old Fredrik Modin. The former Lightning center/winger has just seven goals and 10 points in 36 games for the Thrashers this year and is six seasons removed from his last 30 goal season.

1. Wash and pat dry the strawberries, making sure there is no water on them. Set aside.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Set aside.
3. Heat water in a large pot. Place a bowl over it with water not touching the bowl (double boiler).
4. Put the chocolate chips and Crisco in the bowl and allow it to melt. Stir occasionally till they melt to a smooth consistency.
5. Hold each strawberry with their stem and dip it in the melted chocolate.
6. Let the excess drain off and place on the parchment lined sheet or tray. Let the chocolate harden.
7. In the meanwhile, melt vanilla almond bark using the double boiler.
8. Once the milk chocolate hardens, drizzle the vanilla almond bark or white chocolate all over them in desired patterns. Let it harden.
9. Using a syringe, infuse the champagne into the strawberries just before serving.
10. In a serving platter, arrange the strawberries and serve as a dessert.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- CoLucid Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an innovative biotechnology company focusing on therapies for central nervous system disorders, announced it closed a $25 million Series B financing. New investor Care Capital led the round, which included previous investors Pappas Ventures, Domain Associates, Pearl Street Venture Funds and Triathlon Medical Ventures. The financing will be used to further develop a unique migraine compound, COL-144, and to advance a preclinical pipeline of novel chemical entities targeting neurological and psychiatric disorders.
COL-144 is a first-in-class Neurally Acting Anti-Migraine Agent (NAAMA) designed to deliver efficacy in migraine without the vasoconstrictor activity associated with previous generations of migraine therapy. COL-144 selectively targets 5HT1F receptors expressed in the trigeminal nerve pathway. CoLucid completed a Phase II clinical trial last year examining the efficacy of COL-144 in the acute treatment of migraine after intravenous administration. The trial provided clear evidence of safe, effective alleviation of migraine pain and identified a range of doses that provided relief of migraine symptoms and were well tolerated. Based on these encouraging results, CoLucid is advancing clinical development of COL-144 as a treatment for migraine by the oral route of administration.
As a part of the Series B financing, CoLucid also announced the addition of Richard Markham, partner at Care Capital, to the Board of Directors. Prior to joining Care Capital, Markham held several senior leadership positions in the pharmaceutical industry, including CEO of Aventis Pharma, CEO of Hoechst Marion Roussel and President, COO and Board member of Marion Merrell Dow. In addition, he served as President and COO of Merck.
"COL-144 is the first in a new class of migraine therapeutics and
represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of migraine," said James
White, Ph.D., President and CE

STAGECOACH, TEXAS. Stagecoach is on the heavily wooded east bank of Sulphur Creek sixteen miles southwest of Conroe in southwestern Montgomery County. The development was begun in 1958 on a nineteenth-century stagecoach route and became known as Stagecoach Farms. The area had been a farm owned by W. L. Swinley, who employed several black families as tenant farmers and at his sawmill. The new community has two small artificial lakes-Lake Apache and Lake Hardin-constructed on the lower course of Sulphur Creek, and two parks for the exclusive use of residents. A civic club was organized among local property owners in the 1960s. In 1974 the town chose its first mayor. A population of 270 was reported in 1978. When the community incorporated in 1980 it adopted the name Stagecoach. By that year 108 permanent and vacation residences had been constructed in the development. The local pine and oak woods are habitat for deer, raccoons, and opossums. The population in 1990 was 340. By 2000 the population reached 455.

HARTSEL, Colo.—Christopher Smith knew he wanted to sink down some roots, preferably on a mountainside. He just didn't know that the process would require so much time, sweat and money.
"I pretty much had no construction experience," Smith said. "I didn't own any tools, so there was a pretty big learning curve."
A team of researchers led by the University of Colorado Boulder recently discovered the first prehistoric bronze artifact made from a cast ever found in Alaska, a small, buckle-like object found in an ancient Eskimo dwelling and which likely originated in East Asia.
When considering giving money to humanitarian crises people often donate in response to events that grab their immediate emotions, according to a recent study by CU-Boulder psychology professor Leaf Van Boven.
"The question we wanted to answer with our study is what is the impact of people's emotions on their decisions to make charitable donations," Van Boven said. "We demonstrated that people act on what is immediately emotionally arousing to them. In other words, they respond to what makes them upset in the here and now."
For the past six decades, archaeologists have documented dense populations of ancient Maya in Mexico and Central America—hundreds of people per square kilometer. Corn, beans and squash are well-known Mayan food staples, but they are sensitive to drought and require fertile soils, and thus would be insufficient to feed a large population. So what did the Maya eat?

The original documents comprising the German controversy over the singularity of the Holocaust are here translated into English for the first time.Was Hitler's program of genocide just another example of totalitarian terror, comparable to such other 20th-century atrocities as Stalin's purges of the 1930s or those of Cambodia's Pol Pot? Are some German historians seeking to stabilize the present and determine the future by sanitizing the Nazi past?These questions are at the heart of a heated debate that galvinized the West German public in the 1980s before the fall of the Berlin wall. This collection of primary documents relating to this crucial controversy, which remains under the surface of current German politics, includes contributions by Jürgen Habermas, Ernst Nolte, and many other eminent scholars.
