@Sanquine i got only 1 RRoD and then i sent it in then got it back a week later i got it back it wouldnt turn on. i bought the Xbox 360 slim and it had some problems too, deleted things on my hard drive and it even wiped it self once. im sick of the Microsoft Brand when it comes to gaming. only 3 games i like from microsoft at least 2 are for PC. and thats the first 3 Halo games. thats it. wish Halo 3 came out for PC tho.... but with that said i dont much care for the rest of the Halo Games, even reach.
Now for the PS4 as long as it comes in an update instead of a promised feature than never comes then im fine with it. ratyher have it work than become faulty
@Scollurio Trophy Hunters or people that want to do more seeing how the only way you can do certain things is if you rank up.
I still cannot wait for KHIII i really want this game. i will buy a PS4 just for this game, im not kidding. i wonder who would buy a PS4 for what game?
i wonder if i would enjoy this game? i didnt much care for FFXIII cuz it was a hallway simulator it felt like, and XIII-2 was a bit better, but not enough to get me to beat it. but the battle system in this has me intrigued.... minus the whole clothes switching thing.
@Shellybird27 I was hoping they would, but i gotta say i liked BBS more than KH 3D, but they both were great games.
I wonder if it will be multiplayer like the PSP version. thatd be better with it on PS3.
@get2sammyb i know the feeling, i myself bought a single game a few times before. numorous sonic games, and a few others including BioShock 1. PC, Xbox 360 (before it RRoD now im Sony Only with Nintendo on the Side) and PS3 version, with BioShock Infinite.
Motioninjoy kinda blows if you have crappy internet
still good tho for installing the driver. I use betterDS3 for using my controller on my pc. But this will so much be better than using it. Cant wait
Recently i bought Grand Theft Auto V via PSN release (works perfect like the retail disc, no pop in errors, probably becuase i have enough open space on my HDD. ) and i also bought Tales of Xillia.
Uncharted 4 please, been waiting for it since 3. who all thinks it is? cuz i heard rumors it could be related to The Last of Us like a sequal or something, im hoping for Uncharted tho cuz i never played the last of us. how is it? is it worth playing i wonder?
Ok only saw the first video loading the second one as i type this.... i want to buy this asap really freaking bad, is it worth paying $60 tho? please let me know
@MadchesterManc i would love a new entry in the Jak and Daxter series, but i also want to play Uncharted 4
One of the greatest games ive ever played with friends on the couch. id recommend this to anyone.
@get2sammyb itd be better if the game came out on the vita than just remote play, my gf bought this for us to play and well lets just say i can t stop playing the game its so addictive!
I would for one by this in a heart beat. lots of good Vita games, and they can be played on your tv, except a few games that require the touchscreen and such.
@get2sammyb Welcome back, you have been missed by a lot of people lol
FINALLY!!!!!!!! I WILL BE BUYING THIS, wish it came out with the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection.
Damn i got lucky here, good thing my internet is going slow during the day. i was going to wait to download it at night when it goes fast again but it wasnt there at all, like it was an error, now i know why.
Cant Wait for the PS4, the price will definitely help. on another note earlier on my PS3 i got a sign in error telling me to update the system software for my ps3 to 4.45. i tried updating it right now and it says im up to date but im still at 4.41, like the 4.45 isnt there availbe for download anymore. it said something about trophy notifications to were you can turn them off when i tried at first earlier in the day, my internet was slow as hell tho so i waited till now.
@get2sammyb Haha! You were so right about that one!!! Called it!!! xD OK I'm buying a PS4 for sure now!!!
@get2sammyb I whole heartdley agree, expecially if its already on every console at launch so you don't have to download it. It'd be a brilliant move on their part, the game is of very big PC MMO and if the PS4 is able to run it that just shows how powerful the machine can be, so if it is day one in the box then its a great move, and a more likely they will sell more units.
I'm very happy about this! Not the spoilers but about the fact that the fine folks at push square go out of there way to inform us that stuff has been leaked so we can stay away from it, or search for it. I love PushSquare, greatest PlayStation info site EVER!!!! and it doss suck about people trying to spoil the game. A lot of people love ruining the game for others just for a laugh.
@Jaz007 Well it ain't to far fetched of an idea. Sony did at one point say that any games from now on will have to have trophies. I know it was because the Xbox had achievements but still a possibility. Also could have an update later in its lifespan to unrestrict any sharing abilities like updates to mercenaries 2 to have trophy support or like MGS4 just recently.
I think i saw some sort of T-rex or something at the end there, im gonna definitlly get this. i loved Farcry 3. got platinum for it thats how much i loved it! one of the best games i played.
id get it again for my vita, loved this game. it was one of my favorites. any news about crossbuy? or if you already own it you get the vita version for free? i know its to much to hope for but still. maybe a price?

Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – September 2013
The domain market in July
What moved the Market in May and July ? This was a very strong month for domains: 114.com sold for 2,1 Mio. USD, Mathgames.com for 725.000 USD, Reverse Mortgages.com for 500.000 USD, Brand.com also at 500.000 USD, Body.com at 380.000 USD. DJI.com at 300.000 USD, RSS.com at 135.000 USD, RussianGirls.com at 120.000 USD. Flight.ca, the highest ccTLD sale at 90.000 USD, Banque.com at 90.000 USD, LiveSafe.com at 65.000 USD, Thisisme.com at 59.000 USD, the highest non-.com gTLD was Cashforcars.org at 55.000 USD and a nice short one was Ed.co at 50.000 USD.
Performance in July: +0.54%
Seasonality still slows the performance, historically the strong months have always been, September until April, while May to August have been the weak ones, with increasing revenues from parking as well as other monetization models as well as developed sites slower traffic, less online advertising as well as less domain sales in the summer months also slows the performance. We expect another weak month for August but strong performance from September until January. We are working on a better model to soften the seasonal impact on the performance and we will keep you posted on this, If you are planning to invest into DDF, now definitely is the right time.
Domains now at Heritage Auctions
There is a lot going on in the market right now, one of the best news was that Heritage auctions (ha.com) the world's third largest auction house ( trailing only Christiey´s and Sotheby´s) created a new division specializing in domain names and intellectual property.
Heritage auctions has a base of over 800,000 registered bidders who have proven to be seriously interested in art, collectibles, memorabilia and investments.Heritage auctions will sell around $1 billion worth of merchandise in 2013.we see this as a big step towards bringing domains closer to investors and into the mainstream investment focus.
Interesting studies by SEDO, McKinsey and 101Domain
Our friends from 101domain, the famous registrar specialized in very hard to handle ccTLD´s made a study about the new TLD's and how much awareness there is few months before the introduction in the market, while 75% of corporations know about the new TLD's only 22% of customers know about them, the study can be found here
A study by McKinsey talks about the importance of digital assets of all kinds, very interesting material to be found here.
Finally Sedo reports strong sales, most importantly.com makes up 53% of all sales and buy now becomes the most popular way of buying domain names, find it here.
Invest in Euro and Pounds, we will hedge for you
New share classes for these currencies are now available and you can invest directly in Euro and Pound and your investment will be hedged against the dollar by us.
Information about the DDF Audit
We know that some investors are awaiting the DDF audit, we are now in the end phase of completing the audit and we will inform everyone as soon as it is available, we apologize for the delay but due to the fact that DDF is the first fund investing in domain names the audit takes much more time compared to auditing traditional assets.
A word to our fellow domainers and domain owners
If you have great domains or revenue-generating portfolios for sale, do not hesitate to contact us, we are always interested in looking at offers, for those that have domains and do not know about their value, feel free to get an opinion from us, otherwise you may also get an automated appraisal from domainindex.com
Meet us in Ft.Lauderdale, London or Berlin.
The DDF Team will be attending TRAFFIC from October 19 to 23 in Ft. Lauderdale, we will also be in Berlin at the Domainvermarkter-Stammtisch on October 11 and on a Roadshow in London from September 9 to 11, if you wish to set up a meeting, just reply to this email.
Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – July 2013
The domain market in June
What moved the Market in May and June ? Yinhang.com sold for 300.000 USD (Yinang means "silver institution" for the English word Bank), Moms.com 252.000 USD, Boatsforsale.com 162.500 USD, Select.com 120.000 USD, Mph.com 60.000 USD, Struts.com 70.000 USD. There have also been some interesting non-.com transactions such as: Fotograf.de 117.000 USD and Uni.at 17.000 USD
Performance in April: +1.02%, May:-0.58%
In the last months we have increased our cash revenues substantially, in fact we tripled the recurring parking revenues from January to June which adds liquidity, flexibility and free cash flow to the fund. The downside is that it adds volatility to the fund because of the seasonality of parking revenues. Our NAV calculation is taking this into account to a certain degree but there still remains seasonal fluctuations based on advertising expenses. Our sister-companyDomainindex.com made some research about it, you can find the article here. It shows that the strong month are September to March.
Stories from the market
What else is going on in the domain market ?, Brands.com is for sale, the owners ask for bids of at least one Mio. USD. Boston.com and Globe.com might be up for sale soon because the Bostonglobe newspaper is for sale itself and it suspects the future owner will not make use of the 2 domains in the future.
By looking at the whois, it´s always interesting to see who bought which domains recently: Philips, who owns the coffee maker brand Saeco, bought saeco.co.uk at $1,000. Nasser Bin Abdullah and Sons Group, a conglomerate that also includes a food and beverage department, acquired JustBurger.com for $5,000. Swarovski Crystal bought Cadenzza.com for $8,000. It runs a new jewelry store brand Cadenza. Someone who works for NBC Universal bought MorningJoe.com, the name of a show on MSNBC, for $3,000 and an Intel employee is the owner of 5g.org, which cost $7,500.
Famous domainer Frank Schilling produced a great video on domains and you should take a look at it here.

Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – April 2013
The market in March
What moved the Market in March: elend.com at 140.000 USD, Connectnow.com at 120.000 USD, Adib.com at 117.000 USD, Unit.com at 115.000 USD, Numi.com at 75.000 USD, Medicine.org at 70.000 USD, Chrono.com at 60.000 USD, DealerLink.com at 55.000 USD and SSC.com, Weddinginsurance.com and Naveen.com each at 50.000 USD. In ccTLDs, interesting deals have been Schokolade.de at 80.000 USD, Pay.co at 47.000 USD, Gayforum.de at 45.000 USD and Racing.ca at 40.000 USD.
Performance in February: +2.92%
March was a good month for DDF, increase in Value came from sales, evaluation and mainly from parking revenues. At current level parking and development revenues result in 11.75% performance per year, we plan to increase the level to 17% until the end of the year with sales and markup coming on top. Parking and developments should therefore produce higher returns, however this will result in higher volatility of the Fund because the underlying domains are evaluated based on the revenue and the revenue itself is volatile due to seasonal and other fluctuations.
Interesting development around md.co.uk, a domain owned by DDF. In a spectacular auction at Namejet.com (the by far highest bid ever for a domain name in an auction at Namejet.com) md.org was sold at 555.565 USD. The buyer is most probably a company led by famous domainer Ari Goldberger that runs a new successful venture under md.com and is now collecting similar domains. This puts our md.co.uk in the focus and md.com might be a future buyer. In the meantime we plan to develop the site to a directory for health services and physicians in the UK.
Invest in Euro and Pounds, we will hedge for you
In the last months we had increased demand for investments into the DDF in Euro and Pound, we have now created two new share classes for these two currencies and you can now invest directly in Euro and Pound and your investment will be hedged against the dollar by us. So in detail the aim is for foreign currencies (in this case the USD) to be at least 90% hedged on average against the reference currency of the corresponding share class (in this case the Euro or Pound) in normal market conditions.
Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – March 2013
The market in February
Another good months for domains, no exceptional names in my opinion, but exceptional prices: Unit.com: 115.000 USD, Lawhelp.com: 85.000 USD, Vagadeemprego.com (available jobs): 75.000, Doa.com: 74.000 USD Medicine.org 75.000 USD, Weddinginsurance.com: 50.000 USD, Liveshow.com: 40.000 USD, Singlebörse.de: 40.000 USD, Madame.com: 40.000 USD, Theexchange.com: 36.000 USD, just because I was asked a couple of times, this is by far not a complete list, it's only a selection of deals that I find interesting. In fact most of the market does not consist of such "big" deals but of the many, many names of round to 2000 to 5000 USD mark such as: Srtech.net: 4000 USD, Ecoclean.net: 4000 USD, Avis.info: 3800 USD, Huntingseason.com: 3800 USD, Luxurysolutions.com: 4000 USD., Justplaygamescom: 2500 USD, Fatimah.com: 2500 USD and many more.
Performance in February: -1.55%
While January was an exceptionally strong month regarding parking revenues, February was much more like expected and parking revenues came down a bit from the end of the year 2012 and the holiday season levels. The other two reasons for the poor performance in February was a short month but mainly rearrangements in the monetization of domains. Each time we change/ optimize names we lose the traffic and the revenue on these names up to three days. In February we made bigger changes to the existing portfolio to ensure higher earnings in the future and also had to optimize new portfolios that we purchased. These new domains added another 30% to our recurring revenue streams. The acquisitions and rearrangements will lead to higher earnings in the next weeks and months. Currently DDF produces a net return off 11% only from domain monetization revenues and we plan to increase this level up to 18% in the course of the year with domain sales and increases in value coming on top of this.
What is next at DDF ?
As already mentioned in our last newsletter we are working now on the optimization of our revenue streams, that includes optimizing the current streams as well as acquiring new domain portfolios and also setting off domains that we feel do not fit the portfolio anymore. We also experiment with completely new datasets that we collected to find domains with traffic. We also intensified our corporation with parking companies to optimize the returns.
Tax transparency in Germany coming soon
There is increasing demand from German investors to make the fund tax transparent and we are now working on this, we expect to finalize the process in the course of the summer so that any German investor that joins the fund throughout the year will benefit from the tax transparency.
Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – February 2013
The market in 2013
The year starts with many remarkable sales, or at least with remarkable reported sales (an increasing number of sales are now under NDA). First estate.com, a domain financed by DDF was sold for 165.000 USD. Other remarkable sales have been: Booker.com: 375.000 USD, Mojo.com: 300.000 USD, Apuestas.com ("best" in Spanish) at 220.000 USD, Mobile.xxx: 160.000 USD, Partners.com: 125.000 USD, Torrents.com: 112.000 USD, Banque.com: 91.000 USD, Ulive.com: 75.000 USD, Cellphonecases.com: 75.000 USD, Wolfgangs.com: 50.000 USD, Pay.co: 46.000 USD, Pastor.com: 45.000 USD, iSugar.com: 45.000 USD, Assurance.org (insurance in French): 22.000 USD.
Performance in January: 1.29%
One of the best January performances we had so far, usually January has less earnings than December and therefore performance usually declines in the first month of the year, but this year´s January was strong and it looks like revenues from parked domains are generally up. Also Google announced important improvements for their advertising network that will increase revenues on parked pages especially if accessed from mobiles devices significantly.
What are we working on right now?
We had a very busy 2013 so far. We are about to seriously increase the AUM in the next months, we cannot say much more than this right now, but we will keep you informed – watch out for some big news (!). On a technical level we are currently working on increasing our parking revenues, from January to February we had an increase of 40% in parking revenues, we are doing this by optimizing our domains, purchasing traffic names, mass registrations of domains with traffic and dropcatching domains that are currently running out and become unregistered. Most of these projects are in cooperation with Domainindex.com the leader in domain name data mining. Our goal is to keep this strategy going over the year and to triple the parking revenues relative to the assets until the end of year with a target of 20% net performance for the Fund for 2013.
Opportunity for US Investors coming soon
We are working on a way to bring US investors on board with DDF, currently US Investors are not allowed to the fund. if you are based in the US and interested in an investment to DDF, let us know.
Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – January 2013
The market in 2012
Its been a good year for Domains allover, parking was strong and stable, developed domains did well and increased in income. Looking at the top list of deals, more sellers and buyers seem to be deciding not to publish deals anymore. Judging from the amount of smaller deals the market is strong and stable – especially with substantial increases in buy-now deals at Afternic and Sedo. Here is the list of the top (published) sales of 2012: Investing.com at 2.5 Mio USD, Personalloand.com at 1 mio. USD, Silver.com at 875.000 USD, FreeWebsite.com at 500.000 USD, Webhosting.co.uk at 500.000 USD, Challenge.com at 500.000 USD, Jackpot.com at 500.000 USD, Giftbasket at 350.000 USD and VI.com and BJ.com each at 325.000 USD. In addition to this I must say I know of about at least 10 more that would be in this list but are all under NDA now.
Performance in 2012: 12.97%, December: 2,56%
We close the year with a 12.97% net performance, having had a good December with 2.56% net. Parking revenues from our traffic portfolios drove performance, what we missed this year have been the bigger deals and sales, part of it because less buyers have been on the market, part of it also because we declined many offers because we are confident that the market will be stronger this year once the first nTLD´s are released and we can get much higher prices in the near future.
The Year 2013
We expect a very interesting year 2013, we will see the first new TLDs launched in 2013, this is definitely the most important single event in domain names to expect in 2013. While DDF is not invested in any of the companies running new TLDs, DDF has a clear strategy in place for registrations in new TLDs. As outlined earlier we do not expect that new TLD´s will impact the value of .com, .net, .org and ccTLDs, however we believe that they will become an alternative in some areas of the domain market. We also expect many investors to jump into the market next year. There is a lot of interest in all type of domain based business from institutional investors, this development has likely been triggered by new TLD´s that have brought so much attention to domains to the mainstream media recently.
Concerning our strategy, we will increase investment in traffic domains over the next months, these have been driving our performance in the last months and they are only a small part of about 20% of the total portfolio. We plan to increase this to up to 35% of the invested funds and increase the performance by up to 5% with this measure only.
More Funds invest in DDF
We welcome 2 more Funds as investors to DDF: Alternative Global Diversifed Fund, managed by Silver Lining Investment Management is a diversified fund of "alternative" investments (www.silverliningim.com), the other Fund is an institutional Fund based in Liechtenstein with a mixed strategy, both Funds also intend to increase their investments over the next months.
Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – October 2012
The market in October
So far the year has seen some great sales especially in the non-.com space again and even in .xxx, remarkable sales have been: Webhosting.co.uk 500.000 USD, online-casino.de at 144.000 USD, Toys.xxx at 125.000 USD; cheapcruises.co.uk 77.500 USD, Gruppenreisen.de 75.000 USD. The .com space is more calm (at least in the Mio. USD area) because some owners do not want to offer any names before the launch of the nTLDs, interesting sales are: Challenge.com 500.000 USD, Jackpot.com 500.000 USD, Freewebsite.com 500.000 USD, FreeSexCams.com 150.000 USD, Metal.com 140.000 USD, Designers.com 118.000 USD, Indi.com 115.000 USD and Paddle.com at 120.000 USD and a great IDN as well: 動画.com (means "video" in Japanese) at 35.000 USD.
DDF acquires Audit.com and Audits.com
As a new addition to the DDF prime names we have acquired Audit.com and Audits.com. We will not reveal the purchase price to the public. DDF will develop them as one site, off course related to auditing, but details will be revealed only in a couple of months. Besides development we plan to partner with companies in the auditing field.
Performance in September: 2.32% and YTD 9.22% with October, November and December to go.,
Monthly revenue was 2.32 % in September, Performance in the last 12 months was 15.44 % and year to date was 9.22% with another 3 usually strong months to go. Assets under Management are also up 10% in the last 2 months and we are negotiating with more prospective investors than ever before, many funds and family offices among them.
Develop, launch, develop, launch
DDF stands for Domain Developers and so we do: this week alone we soft-launched 2 new sites, and we have 6 more to come very soon:Exhibitions.com, a directory for international exhibitions, from wherever you are check which exhibitions are currently running, buy tickets, book hotels and flights as well. We currently have 5.000 exhibitions in our database and expect to grow the database to more than 100.000 within the next weeks. Another launch is Rebuildthis.com, a high performance mass-website building system for domainers, we use the system for DDF to rebuild websites that have been deployed earlier on domains and we rent the system out to other domainers as well. The system is aimed at owners of large domain portfolios.

The .com space is more calm because of the summer and some owners do not want to offer any names before the launch of the nTLDs, interesting sales are: Metal.com 140.000 USD, Designers.com 118.000 USD, Indi.com 115.000 USD and Paddle.com at 120.000 USD and a great IDN as well: 動画.com (means "video" in Japanese) at 35.000 USD.
Performance in the last 12 months: 14.27 %
Monthly revenue was 0.15% in August, with July and August traditionally the weakest month in parking and advertising revenues. September until January are usually the strongest months and we expect a year-end performance to settle around 15%.

Domain Developers Fund Investors Report – July 2012
The Market in June
What we currently see is a strong buyers-market, but what we also see are less great domains coming to the market or at least their sales are not reported (we know of at least 2 7-figure sales under NDA from just the last 2 months). So there are more sales of lower quality names, however the prices paid are great. Some of the most remarkable sales have been: Cricketscore.com at 118.000 USD, Mizu,com at 90.000 USD, Electriccompany.com at 85.000 USD and Circumcision.com at 45.000 USD. A remarkable sale in the ccTLD space is Finance.co.za (South Africa) at 70.000 USD which also makes us happy because we own 18 prime .co.za domains such as houses.co.za, shops.co.za and banks.co.za.
Performance in June: 2.29 %
June was a great month with strong revenue for the DDF, we expect to increase revenue from developed sites substantially in the next months and our target remains 15% performance over the year.
Portugal.net launched

We have launched an internal research project to classify and discover domain names according to their sound, The current approach to determine the value of domain names are usually the length, the letters used, their placements of letters within the word and off course the amount of searches on Google, Bing and Yahoo for the word. However in a world where branding becomes more difficult because all the great .com names are gone new ventures simply look for great sounding phantasy names. And this is exactly what we do, by using special software that can determine the sound of words we are analyzing hundreds of millions of names and register the ones still available with the best sound. If you are working in the domain industry and you are interested in this project, let us know, we are interested in partnering up with you.
DDF´s approach to new TLD´s
By definition the DDF cannot be part of any of the startups handling new registrations because the DDF´s investment strategy is to invest in great domain names and this is what we will continue to do. At the ICANN meeting in Prague I had a chat with domain-expert and nTLD investor Frank Schiling, I asked him how he looks at his collection of nTLDs and tells me: holistic. So this is also the way we look at them, As most of you know we are not very optimistic about nTLDs, however there will be successful ones and given the amount of generic extensions to come up (probably more than 400) there will be some great names among them. We will not concentrate on one or few of the nTLDs but take a holistic approach and find the best ones among all of them. What we have done so far is to compile a list of 8.5 Mio. new TLD domain names and analyzed their value in an automated way. Next we are going to manually scan the list and choose the best among them. The plan is to register great names in many of the extensions because we think that users will also take a hollistic view of the nTLDs. One of the reasons why we believe that the nTLD´s will be approached as a new set of domains is that the space for marketing is limited on registrars websites and we expect registrars to offer users a choice of domains that fit the topic the user requests and so much a particular extension, To better understand the point have a look at this funny video.

February traditionally is the slowest month in advertising and this can be felt immediatly in our traffic portfolio, the revenue was back in March and so was the performance with a plus of 1,51% for the month. We expect a great April as well, especially driven by sales. For the year our goal is still set at 15% performance.

TLD strategy
WIth the new TLD´s coming up at the end of the year we will shift even more into the premium ,com and ccTLD (country code domains), still keeping away from smaller generic extensions such as .biz,.info,.tel,.mobi (we dont have any of these) and also moving more into the larger premium domain space.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - The University of Missouri plans to renovate three buildings around its central quadrangle, including the main administration building.
The $23 million plan must still be approved by the Board of Curators.
The university said in a news release that Pickard, Swallow and Jesse Hall would be renovated. Jesse Hall is the administration building, Pickard houses the Museum of Art and Archaeology and Swallow holds the Museum of Anthropology.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/123EC1l ) that when the work is done, the Museum of Anthropology and the Museum of Art and Archaeology will be relocated to the former Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. The former cancer center will be renamed Mizzou North.
A Maryland-based foundation has awarded Joplin a $200,000 grant to build a butterfly garden to help tornado survivors.

Overall, crime is down in the first quarter of 2013, according to new stats from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police. Except for one St. Louis neighborhood. The Dutchtown neighborhood leads the way in many of the major crime categories. Dutchtown is bounded by Chippewa, Walsh, Compton and Gus(Teen). St. Louis Police Chief Dotson told the board of police commissioners yesterday that homicides are down by 10% across the city compared to last year over the first quarter. 30 murders have been reported so far this year compared to 33 last year. Gun-related aggravated assaults are also down significantly. Meanwhile, the number of rapes are on the rise, however the FBI recently expanded the definition of rape, and if that definition was in place last year, those rape numbers would actually be down.

ABC station, WVEC 13 of Virginia, reviewed the Wax Vac ear cleaner for their "Does it Work" segment with the help of Norfolk resident, Joseph Floyd III who says "he's always trying to clean out his ears."
WVEC reports that "Mr. Floyd was impressed. He had seen the commercial for Wax Vac and wondered if it could be as good as it sounded. He found it to be easy to use and he really felt like it did a great job cleaning his ear. He said when he turned the WaxVac on it felt a little like a massage in his ear. But his favorite thing about the WaxVac was that he felt like, for him, it was a safer way to clean his ear than using a cotton swab. With a cotton swab he said he always worried he was going to put it in too far and damage his eardrum. He said with the Wax Vac he didn't have that concern."

Celtics react to Grizzlies unexpected streak | 01.26.10 at 12:51 pm ET |
If you were told at the start of the season that among the Celtics and Grizzlies, one team would win 11 straight at home while the other would lose three consecutive games on their own turf, chances are you would pick the Celtics to be streaking.
That'd be the wrong answer.
The Grizzlies have not lost at home since falling to the Celtics on December 14, 2009. After winning just 16 games in Memphis last season, they have put together a string of victories that includes wins over the playoff contending Nuggets, Jazz, Suns, and Spurs.
On Monday, they extended the streak to 11 with a win over the Magic, the Celtics' next opponent, tying the previous mark set by the Cavaliers and Lakers this season.
"It's pretty tough," Rasheed Wallace said when told of the Grizzlies achievement. "You have good teams coming in night in and night out, some top-notched teams and some teams that are lower than you that are not playing on your level. That's what makes it harder because you want to try to get your ball club to stay on that high level and not stoop down."
Even though the Celtics have won their last two games at home, they can appreciate the Grizzlies accomplishments. This season they learned how vulnerable they can be on their own court. After posting 35-6 records at the TD Garden the previous two seasons, the Celtics uncharacteristically dropped three in a row this month. The C's understand what goes into a streak like the Grizzlies.
"It's very hard, but I think they're focused," said Kendrick Perkins. "They're playing with a lot of confidence, they've got a pretty good coach over there, good young talent, and they're just sticking together, grinding out games."
Perkins knows firsthand the obstacles faced by a young team, making the Grizzlies streak that much more notable. He was a member of the 2007 Celtics squad that lost 18 straight during a rocky youth movement.
"They're young but their basketball IQ's a little bit better than how we were," he said. "They're playing team ball and tough defense. They've got a lot of smart guys."
The Grizzlies will look to extend their home streak to 12 on Saturday against the Hornets, while the Celtics will try to make it three in a row in Boston on Sunday against the Lakers. The Grizzlies will test the C's at the TD Garden on March 10.
Report: Celtics expressed interest in second pick | 06.09.09 at 11:58 am ET |
The Memphis Commercial Appeal has reported the Boston Celtics have expressed interest in acquiring the second pick in the 2009 NBA Draft from the Memphis Grizzlies. No word on what, if anything, had been offered in exchange. The Houston Rockets and New York Knicks have also approached the Grizzlies regarding the pick, according to the report.
Spanish guard Ricky Rubio is the projected second pick behind Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin. Once the Grizzlies drew their pick in the Draft Lottery, buzz began surrounding Rubio's disinterest in playing in Memphis. However Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace met with Rubio's agent, Dan Fegan, and had a "cordial meeting," according to the Commercial Appeal.
Rubio is not the guaranteed second pick, though. To start, the Grizzlies already have a young point guard in Mike Conley Jr. and have not committed to drafting Rubio. Secondly, Rubio still has to pay a multi-million dollar buyout from DVK Joventut before he plays anywhere in the NBA. And there are still other attractive prospects out there. According to several mock drafts, center Hasheem Thabeet (UConn), guard James Harden (Arizona State), and forward Jordan Hill (Arizona) round out the top five projected picks.

Rick Springfield was arrested in Los Angeles on Friday after missing a court date relating to a 2011 DUI conviction.
RELATED: Stars who are aging in reverse
The "Jessie's Girl" singer was expected to appear before a judge last month to prove that he had completed a court-ordered alcohol education program as part of a plea deal he struck with prosecutors two years ago to avoid a stint behind bars. He failed to show, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest on Wednesday. Police turned up at the singer's Los Angeles home on Friday to execute the warrant and he was taken into custody at Lost Hills Sheriff's Station.
However, Springfield's lawyer managed to have the warrant recalled by the time he was booked by cops and he was subsequently released.
The singer took to his Facebook page while at the station and explained the incident to fans, insisting it was a mix-up. He writes, "I didn't know that I was supposed appear in court a few weeks ago. It was to do with the old DUI charge and it's been cleared up and I am free to go."
Springfield had also been required to pay $1,555 in fines, according to TMZ.

text: The Texas Supreme Court said it did not have jurisdiction to hear Representative Ciro D. Rodriguez's contention that fraud was responsible for his 58-vote defeat in the Democratic primary election in March. Mr. Rodriguez, a seven-year incumbent from San Antonio, took his case to the state's highest court after the Texas Fourth Court of Appeals ruled against him last month in his lawsuit against his challenger, Henry Cuellar, a lawyer from Laredo. According to the Texas election code, the appeals courts are the courts of final review in elections cases.

So It Begins: Turkey Warns Greece Against Oil Exploration In The Aegean, Turkish experts accuse Greece of illegally snatching 16 islands
Poster Handle
Post Content
Erdogan seems to overthrowed kemalist remnants in government,but they are no better than kemalists...I passionately hate both kemalists and islamists since they are all authoritarian fascists.To be honest ,kemalist regime was the most bloodthirsty fascist regime by far.
Some of you think turkey would attack israel but its not likely because turkey was created by crypto-jews(donmehs) and they are still in power, nearly all rich people in turkey are consisted by them.They appear to be muslims but one can understand that they are crypto-jews by their names/surnames and their kemalist,ultra nationalist,elitist approach.
Those crypto-jews infiltrated power structre of Ottoman Empire in 19th century and caused its demise. Sabbatean jews from Thessaloniki (ataturk was one of them) and other jews from balkans formed a political party called Ittihat ve Terakki...They were populist and used every kind of propaganda to get in power...They pacified sultan by a coup d'etat (Raid of Bab-i Ali). They forced Ottoman Empire to join WW1 by the side of Germany therefore caused fragmentation of Ottoman lands and creation of Turkey(also israel).
Crypto-jew regime were also responsible for Armenian genocide.They wanted a homogenous anatolia,also Armenians were mostly rich people and they wanted their riches.So they exiled and exterminated them.They even released criminals from jails to harass exiled armenians on the road.Yakub Cemil enlisted most dangerous criminals from the Prison of Sinop for that job.
Those sabbatean jews wrote the official ideology,history and propaganda of Turkey.Moiz Kohen-later changed his name to Munis Tekin Alp- created kemalist ideology.They created Turkish ultranationalism.They forcibly tried to assimilate different folks of anatolia.Those who didnt comply and didnt accept new made-up turkish identity and authoritarian government got exterminated(Massacre of Zaza tribes in Dersim,current oppression of Kurds)
There are still secret masonic ultranationalist/authoritarian/statist organizations within government...They organized many military coups and are responsible of missing and murder of many individuals.Turkish Armed forces are still under jewish control.
For example former General Basbug(currently jailed) in Israel :
link to 2.bp.blogspot.com
I hope the day will come when anatolia will be cleansed of those vermins and people of anatolia will regain their freedom.We need a revolution asap but %99 of people here are too brainwashed to realize that.I pity them they dont know the myths they learnt by official education are nothing but lies.They dont know who they truly are and dont know the dark past of their state.
Anatolian 31753869
Thanks for great and very informative post Anatolian. All the best.
You are welcome mate
I hope no conflict between Greece and Turkey occurs in future, most of us have no hostility towards Greek people.Take care

Mortgage conference bringing big banking names to Raleigh
- Lee Weisbecker
- Staff Writer- Triangle Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
An A-list of experts, regulators and industry players will be on hand in Raleigh, Sept. 10-12, to take part in the second American Mortgage Conference, sponsored by the North Carolina Bankers Association.
Among the headliners will be:
* Ed DeMarco, acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or FHFA;
* Joe Smith, monitor of the $25 billion national mortgage settlement;
* Mark Pearce, director of consumer protection at the FDIC; and
* Wes McMullan, CEO of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
Their task will be to discuss the future of mortgage financing in the U.S., including the options to reform the government-sponsored enterprises, GSEs – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – now being held in conservatorship by DeMarco's FHFA.
"Certainly, no subject is more pertinent during these stressful and uncertain economic times than is the economy and the future of housing in America," says NCBA President Thad Woodard. "This country needs to hear our leaders' plans..."
The event will take place at the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley in Raleigh.
Lee Weisbecker covers Finance, State Government.

Private equity fund buys fast-growing West Chester company
- Tom Demeropolis
- Reporter- Cincinnati Business Courier
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
NETRADA North America, previously the North American division of German-owned e-commerce service provider NETRADA Group, was acquired by a private equity fund.
Bregal Sagemount, a New York City-based private equity fund with $500 million in committed capital, purchased the West Chester-based company, according to a news release issued Sept. 11.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"We are pleased to join forces with Bregal Sagemount, who we are confident will be a great partner given their track record with growth investments," Dave Cook, CEO of NNA, said in a news release.
NETRADA North America's clients are some of the biggest names in the retail industry, including PUMA, Tommy Hilfiger, The Limited and Brooks Brothers.
NNA offers a number of services to help companies sell their products online. Here's an example of the service NNA provides to its clients: When a consumer surfs PUMA's website for new shoes or a T-shirt, NNA is providing the support for the website. It makes changes to the site, helps with marketing, provides digital images and descriptions of products, sends emails to customers, takes care of questions, handles item exchanges and ships the product to the consumer.
Earlier this year, NNA opened a new 400,000-square-foot logistics facility. Combining that facility with Bregal Sagemount's financial backing, NNA will expand the solutions offered to existing customers and will be able to add new clients.
In the first half of 2013, NNA increased revenue by more than 45 percent. In 2011, NETRADA Group had a total of 2,000 employees. Employment increased to 3,000 employees by 2013.
"In partnership with NEU (NETRADA Europe) we have grown the business substantially in recent years and I am excited at the prospect of continuing this journey and accelerating our investment in support of the services that we offer our clients globally," Cook said.
NETRADA North America and NETRADA Europe will continue their partnership under a cooperation agreement. Cook and Dave Eckley, co-founders of NNA, will continue to run the business. In addition, the company plans to continue making strategic investments to expand its geographic footprint and service offerings.
"We are excited to partner with NNA's management team to build on their success by further enhancing their best-in-class service offerings and expanding into strategic geographies," said Gene Yoon, managing partner at Bregal Sagemount. "NETRADA North America is well positioned to take advantage of the rapid growth in online and mobile commerce, and it is truly unique in the strength and depth of its end-to-end solutions."
In a separate transaction, NETRADA North America will acquire NEU's operation in Shanghai.
Founded in 2001 as Fulfillment Technologies LLC, also known as Fill-Tek, the company merged with NETRADA Group in 2011, becoming NETRADA North America.
U.S. investment bank Stephens Inc. advised on this transaction.

Ministry ObstaclesThis tribe lives in a remote portion of Laos, and is so small in number it may be difficult to find them. They likely have no knowledge of Christianity.
Outreach IdeasNo Christian resources are known to be available in the language of this tribe. Pray for those trained in storying from scripture to be able to contact this group and somehow communicate the Gospel of Christ to them.
Pray for the followers of ChristThere are quite likely no followers of Christ in this group today. But pray for those the Lord will soon call to himself, that they will learn to be filled with God's Spirit according to Ephesians 5:18-20.
Pray for the entire people groupPray this small tribe will be able to care adequately for their families, and will be able to provide a good education for their children.
Scripture Focus"Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with uprightness and guide the nations on the earth." Psalm 67:4
