Grim July sales take shine off Sino Land results
Developer posts 25pc boost in underlying profit but analysts expect sharp drop this year
Related topics
Sino Land's underlying profit rose 25 per cent in the past financial year but the company expects challenges ahead amid a fall in home sales.
The developer said underlying profit, excluding revaluation gains, was HK$6.64 billion for the year to June, against HK$5.31 billion in the previous year.
The results are in line with market forecasts but analysts said the company's earnings growth would fall substantially this year, reflecting slower residential sales and the weakened property market.
Sino Land chairman Robert Ng Chee Siong said the city's property market had been undergoing changes as a result of economic and property-related policies.
"The group is mindful of the upcoming uncertainties in a challenging market and management will be responsive to market changes," Ng said.
His remarks came as home sales fell sharply in response to a series of government measures to curb rising housing prices since October last year.
Home sales last month fell to 3,986 deals from 8,714 in October last year, according to the Land Registry. In the circumstances, developers have started competing for buyers by offering more price incentives on new property releases.
International property consultant DTZ expects that mass housing market will drop 5 to 10 per cent this year, while prices of luxury flats will fall 10 to 15 per cent.
"The earnings growth of Sino Land will drop significantly this financial year as property sales slow," said Kenny Tang Sing-hing, a general manager at AMTD Financial Planning.
Sino Land said net profit, including property revaluation gains, was HK$11.69 billion in the past fiscal year, compared with HK$10.67 billion previously.
Profit contributors included the Coronation in West Kowloon, Providence Bay and Providence Peak in Tai Po, Park Summit in Mong Kok and Le Sommet in Xiamen.
Revenue from property sales, including property sales of associates recognised by the company, was HK$14.13 billion, against HK$7.15 billion in the previous year.
Net rental income increased 9 per cent to HK$2.77 billion, helped by higher rental rates on renewals, as well as improvements in occupancy levels of the existing rental portfolio.
The company said it had a land bank of 40.1 million square feet at the end of June, covering Hong Kong, mainland China and Singapore.
Directors declared a final dividend of 38 HK cents per share. Together with the interim dividend of 12 HK cents per share, the total dividend for the financial year is 50 HK cents per share, up from 46 HK cents previously.
Meanwhile, Sino Hotels' net profit rose 2.5 per cent to HK$240.8 million in the year to June, from HK$235 million in the previous year.
Turnover fell to HK$331.41 million from HK$339.41 million.
Tsim Sha Tsui Properties, the parent company of Sino Land, said underlying profit, excluding property revaluation surplus, increased 27.3 per cent to HK$3.42 billion in the year to June.
Net profit climbed to HK$5.98 billion from HK$5.38 billion.
It will pay a final dividend of 38 HK cents per share, raising the payout for the year to 50 HK cents per share.

The bark of the wild cherry tree is a traditional Native American remedy for two seemingly unrelated conditions: respiratory infections and anxiety. European settlers quickly adopted the herb for similar purposes.
Over time, wild cherry has come to be used primarily as a component of cough syrups. It is tempting to connect the two traditional uses of wild cherry by imagining that it functions like codeine to affect both the mind and the cough reflex. However, this is just speculation, as there has been very little scientific evaluation of this herb.
Syrups containing wild cherry should be taken as directed.
Wild cherry is generally regarded as safe when used at recommended dosages. However, since it contains small amounts of cyanide, it should not be taken to excess. It is not recommended for use by young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease. Some evidence suggests that wild cherry might interact with various medications by affecting their metabolism in the liver, but the extent of this effect has not been fully determined. 1

This love-triangle is set to change drastically
Nikhil (Vibhav Roy) refused to get engaged to Ishana as long as he was still married to Laajo. But when it's time to stay true to his promise, our hero realised that he has actually fallen for the village belle, Laajo. Then, Nikhil calls off the wedding and Ishana (Parvati Sehgal) with a broken heart tells him to go get Laajo (Sana Amin Sheikh) as she walks out of his life. With that, Parvati's track will come to an end in Gustakh Dil. Nikhil's entire family will be confused and unable to fathom the change in his heart, but nonetheless will agree to his wishes.
In the forthcoming episodes, Nikhil will come to Sonbarsa and express his feelings for Laajo, who has been trying hard to forget him. He will go down on his knees and beg for forgiveness, but this time Laajo will not be in the mood to forgive. She had already signed the divorce papers and decided to move on in life. But Nikhil will try to woo her in romantic ways and win her over. But will it melt Laajo's heart or not remains to be seen.
If the showmakers had planned to reunite Laajo and Nikhil this early in the story, then how does Siddhant Karnick fit into the scheme of things? His entry was initially supposed to create some romantic space in Laajo's heart, no? But with Nikhil coming back to her, we don't see that happening.
Guess we will have to wait and watch to find out what happens next on Gustakh Dil.

Shakira's ex-boyfriend has filed a new $100 million lawsuit against the Latin superstar, suggesting he was the inspiration for her smash hit "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)."
Antonio de la Rua initially launched legal action against the Colombian beauty in New York in November, following the end of their 10-year relationship in 2010, arguing that he is owed a slice of her fortune after acting as her manager and helping to negotiate lucrative contracts during their time together.
Shakira hit back at the allegations in March and asked a judge to dismiss the case, maintaining her former partner did advise her on some decisions but was never officially employed as her manager. She also insisted she was already famous when they met in 2000 and that the only agreement she signed with de la Rua was a 2006 document stating they would both keep their own assets if they split.
De la Rua, the son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rua, has since lodged a similar complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court on April 12, claiming he was key in building the Shakira brand and he has taken credit for "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)," which was chosen as the official 2010 FIFA World Cup anthem. He also alleges that he convinced the singer to record Hips Don't Lie, her 2006 collaboration with rapper Wyclef Jean, because Shakira was initially not a fan of the song.
The superstar, who is now dating Spanish soccer ace Gerard Pique, has yet to respond to the new suit.

Photo by wanfauzan. Advertisement Over at the organization blog Unclutterer, they highlight the plight of a friend who is never on time. We all have that friend and sometimes even are that friend. I know I have a good friend who despite getting up nearly three hours before she needs to be at work is perpetually late because she underestimates how long it will take her to do things. The first step in streamlining your morning routine is just keeping track of where the time is currently going:Keep a log of how you spend your time from the point you wake up until you arrive at work. Keep this log for two or three weeks so that you get an accurate view of your typical morning. How long does it take to shower? Choose your clothes? Hunt for items you need to drop at the dry cleaners, post office, or child's school? What throws you off track?Once you have an accurate picture of where the time goes you might be surprised. Maybe you tell yourself the commute only takes 30 minutes, but 30 minutes is the all green lights and no traffic optimum time, not the realistic time. Maybe your 10 minute shower is really 25 minutes of trying to wake up in the steamy bathroom. Advertisement When you have a solid idea of where the time is going you can begin to assess the situation and decide what things need tweaking, how much earlier you need to leave for work, and so on.

You can find people all kinds of things on Twitter and it tends to be a self-policing network. Folks who tweet stuff that's dumb or offensive or misguided or hurtful, either get a lot of blow back from other tweeters or they don't get followers at all and so are just kind of shouting in the woods.
But not every country trusts this approach because not every country is all that jazzed about free speech in general. Twitter will now honor the rules of some of those countries and censor tweets. It's not an across-the-board policy, however. Twitter will, for instance, police neo-Nazi content in Germany, where such things are against the law, but won't follow the much more restrictive censorship laws of China. The company says it's unwilling to change to the extent where China would permit Twitter to function.

With her notepad filling up, Marin Campbell, an assistant coach for the Craig Sea Sharks, intently took notes as University of Wyoming swim coach Tom Johnson talked about stroke technique. The Cowboys' coach offered the clinic to benefit the Sea Sharks as well as their coaches.
"He brought some new drills and different ways to approach teaching," said Cammie Hillewaert, head coach of the Sharks. "It's been educational for all of us."
Johnson and three of his student athletes were in Craig Monday and Tuesday for a clinic with 28 local swimmers. The clinic comes at the beginning of a busy summer for both Johnson and the Sea Sharks.
"Next week I travel back to Laramie for two, one-week camps," he said. "Then I go to Idaho, South Dakota and different spots in Wyoming for the rest of the summer."
The Sharks opened up their season Saturday in Steamboat Springs. The team has 60 members, an average number for the summer squad. This week provided an opportunity for the Sharks to learn from an outside instructor.
"We bring collegiate level techniques and usually its something that neither the coaches nor the swimmers have seen," Johnson said. "With a club that just swims in the summer like this one, the focus sometimes tends to be on getting the laps in. We come and focus primarily on the stroke technique."
As a swimmer at South Dakota State University, Hillewaert is familiar with collegiate techniques, but she recognized the benefit of bringing in a different coach.
"He breaks down each stroke and builds upon each technique really well for every level of swimmer," she said. "They use a lot of good word pictures for them to visualize what the swimmers should do."
Zach Vorhies, a junior next year on the Moffat County High School swim team was appreciative of what he learned during the two-day clinic.
"I was doing a lot of things wrong that I never really thought about," he said. "Before this I just swam. Now I think about what I need to do better."
Scott Usher is envious of the experience the young Sharks are getting.
"I never really got to have a coach like (Johnson) come and help me when I was younger," he said. "I would have jumped at the chance to have that."
The Wyoming junior from Grand Island, Neb., is now helping provide what he missed as a beginning swimmer when he travels with his coach to the clinics. Spending time teaching provides a break for the All-American, who will start training for the Olympic trials later in the summer.
"I enjoy spending time with the kids and going back to the time when swimming was all just for fun," he said. "We don't get too many breaks with practically a year around program, so this is nice."
While getting a break was a bonus for Usher, Johnson mentioned a benefit for him was opportunity to bring the clinic to the swimmers.
"This is nice because I don't have to worry about housing them or feeding them," he said. "It's a two-day situation that keeps things simple."
Vorhies said the camp close to home is what helped him sign up.
"I wouldn't be out here if it wasn't in Craig," he said. "All the other camps were $400 while this one was more affordable and closer."
With the clinic wrapped up, the Sharks will refocus on their own practices and the second meet of the season this weekend in

Owen County knew going into the week that it was not going to be easy.
The Rebels were set to face off against Gallatin County, Williamstown and Grant County. They had defeated all three earlier in the season and all three had been decided in the final few minutes. Last week was to be much of the same.
On Feb. 2, the Rebels headed to Warsaw to face Gallatin County. Owen County trailed 18-15 at the end of the first quarter. The Rebels rallied in the second quarter to outscore the Wildcats 16-8 and took a lead into halftime.

On Friday August 21, 2005, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management sent a message that OPM was in litigation and it was possible that OPM could have been enjoined (stopped) from the printing or distribution of the 2005 CFC brochures.
OPM asked that if your campaign has not yet printed the 2005 brochure, that you hold off on its printing until further notice. OPM further advised that if you had already begun the process of printing, to let that process continue.
This message is to bring you up to date on the status of that litigation. OPM and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America (MAWFA) have settled the pending litigation, with the settlement being approved by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. A copy of the Settlement and the district court's Order are attached to this message.
As you can see from the attached Order, the following options must be implemented by all campaigns depending on the stage of the brochure printing process:
What is intended by the phrase "direct contribution" is a contribution by cash or check. The insert may be done before the brochures are sent to the agency key workers or by key workers before distribution to Federal employees.
We also ask that each campaign keep track, to the extent you are able to do so, of any additional costs to the local campaign from this printing/errata sheet process and report that data to OPM when the printing and distribution process has been concluded. We anticipate that a portion of those expenses may be reimbursed to the campaigns.
OPM appreciates the added burden this places on local campaigns at this critical time in the process, but the litigation was resolved by mutual agreement of the parties, in part to avoid protracted litigation that could have had a longer term impact on the administration of the 2005 CFC.
Please let us know immediately if you have any questions regarding these instructions only. OPM is unable to provide additional details about any aspect of the settlement other than what has been provided. Thank you for your cooperation on this important matter.

Welcome to Bear Country
Solo camping in the Sierras' Little Lakes, a 6.5-hour drive north of S.D.
Veronica Remsbottom 8:43 p.m., March 26
I was on my second chocolate martini with a shot of espresso; they were still at it. I'm going to have to say something, I thought. How can I do this without being rude? I had already tried my standard silent recourses -- reciting state capitals, counting various objects in the room and gauging each total's divisibility by three, and rehearsing what I would say if I were to meet Tom Robbins. I can't take this anymore. "Can we talk about something else?"
"What do you mean?" Ellen asked. For a moment I felt selfish.
"Well, it's like..." think before you speak . "I can't participate in this conversation. Haven't you noticed? I've just been sitting here. I have no idea what you guys are talking about," I complained. It was part lie -- I would have had to have been in an isolation tank for the past five years to truly have no idea. But though I had figured out they were not talking about dear friends for the last hour but had actually been fretting and speculating over strangers who star on reality TV shows, I only recognized two of 20 names and one of half a dozen program titles mentioned.
"You told me you saw American Idol ," said Ellen, a hint of accusation in her tone.
"You're right. I did see the final episode this season," I confirmed. "But that doesn't mean I care about it, certainly not enough to let it dominate a conversation among friends." Point made, point taken. The conversation carried on. As the odd fifth in a group of four people intent on discussing whether or not what's-his-face deserved to win the public-rat-race-of-the-moment, I retreated to my inner dialogue with Tom.
"Your last book was alright," I said in my head. "But I much preferred the main character Switters in Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates to that freaky, bestiality-inducing Tanuki from Villa Incognito ."
"Whatever," my imaginary Tom answered. My creativity was stunted by alcohol and desperation set in.
"Tell me about your house, Scott!" I interrupted him in the middle of his Survivor synopsis. Caught off guard, but delighted to redirect his words toward something he cared about more than a bunch of fame-hungry people trying to vote each other off the island, Scott launched into a description of his new home.
If I sense that a subject is significant to someone, I will shut my mouth and pay attention. I'll even care. But when people are yapping away, verbally masturbating about something for the lack of anything better to discuss, my eyes glaze over. I don't judge people who get emotionally invested in the lives of celebrities, nor do I condemn those who spend hours talking about sports. But when I am around them I can't help myself from drifting off, allowing their voices to blend into a background drone similar to the WAH WAH sound teachers and parents make in Charlie Brown's world.
I don't consider myself a self-centered bitch, but I am finding lately that I am less and less inclined to actively participate in discussions that are uninteresting to me. On the other hand, there are subjects I find fascinating but pointless to talk about with certain people, like religion and politics.
I had a coworker once try to save my soul on the way to a training seminar out of town. Despite my scholastic interest in theology, rituals, cultural diversity, and personal values and beliefs, I would have rather been forced to walk to L.A. in 6-inch platforms than ride to Irvine with this woman who felt it was critical to control my opinion before we reached our exit. While I'm sure she truly believed she was doing God's work (bless her heart), my coworker's insensitivity to my own beliefs and her desperate need to ensure me a place in heaven only served to grant me a day in hell.
I'm always curious about people's values, but I only inquire when I am comfortable in the knowledge that a debate won't ensue. I don't want to spend energy trying to alter anyone's faith in their deity of choice, and I bristle at anyone who tries to change mine. Thus this is a subject best avoided, especially in the workplace, as any good human resources rep will tell you.
I also avoid topics of conversation that could lead to heated exchanges over government policy, especially between two people who haven't bothered to get involved and try to change anything. You hate Bush? Great. Got a thing against liberals? Fine. Don't sit around blowing hot air in my face, join a select few of my friends and do something about it. You will never hear me bring up the subject of politics in conversation. My opinion is just that -- the opinion of someone who does not have all of the information and who has no intention to do more than engage in casual banter over a glass of wine with friends.
Though my social abilities allow me to conversationally cross-pollinate, my ideal subject matter lies somewhere between the "superficial" (television shows, hairstyles, and other people's appearances) and the "serious" (state-of-the-world, politics, and religion). People who spend the majority of their time talking about superficial matters are too flighty and shallow for me to connect with, and those who lean toward serious topics, with the weight of the world on their shoulders, are simply no fun to be around.
Miss Manners would be relieved to learn that the subjects I enjoy discussing in social situations fall right in line with proper etiquette. As a social bird, it's important to me that no one (me included) is left out of a conversation. What I talk about depends on who and how many I am hanging out with and their interests. I wouldn't talk to Holly Homebody about traveling, just as I wouldn't strike up a conversation about my favorite lip-gloss with most of my male friends.
The purpose of conversation in polite society is to entertain and stimulate the mind. Truly, it is an art. I recently saw a guy rambling on and on at a party to three people who were obviously not interested in what he had to say. Their faces were drawn, their eyes were wide with boredom, they looked trapped . One by one, they found excuses to step away from the speaker, who was oblivious of their plight.

PIENAAR, G. Aspects of land administration in the context of good governance. PER [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.2. ISSN 1727-3781.
Recent international developments have emphasised the importance of good governance in land administration. Good governance practices are inter alia predictable, open and enlightened policy-making; accountable and transparent processes; a professional ethos that combats corruption, bias, nepotism and personal gain; and strict financial control and management of funding. This paper explores aspects of land administration where public funding and interests necessitate the application of good governance practices. The South African land reform programme is divided in three sub-programmes, namely land restitution, land redistribution and tenure reform. Land reform is a vast subject, based on policy, legislation and case law. Therefore it is impossible to deal with good governance principles over the wide spectrum of land reform. Special attention is however given to the land restitution programme in terms of the Restitution of Land Rights Act 22 of 1994and tenure reform in the rural areas by means of the Communal Land Rights Act 11 of 2004. The purpose is not to formulate a blueprint for good governance or to indicate which good governance principles will solve all or most of the land tenure problems. It is rather an effort to indicate that policies and procedures to improve good governance in some aspects of land reform are urgently needed and should be explored further. The three land tenure programmes have been introduced with some degree of success. Legislation promulgated in terms of these programmes, especially the Restitution of Land Rights Act and the Communal Land Rights Act, is extensive and far-reaching. However, many legislative measures are either impractical due to financial constraints and lack of capacity of the Department of Land Affairs, or are not based on sufficient participation by local communities. Land administration should furthermore be planned and executed in the context of global good governance practices. This includes equal protection; clear land policy principles; land tenure principles according to the needs of individuals and population groups; flexible land registration principles to accommodate both individual and communal land tenure; and appropriate institutional arrangements. It is clear that established good governance principles may solve many of the problems encountered in land administration in South Africa. It is a topic that needs to be explored further.
Palabras clave : Good governance; Transparency; Accountability; Professional ethos; Financial control; Land administration; Land reform; Land restitution; Land redistribution; Tenure reform; Communal land rights; Land policy; Land registration; Equal protection; Cadastral information.

John is an amazing attorney! Extremely efficient and knowledgeable. He represented me and the verdict came back not guilty in a DUI trial. I can not say how dependable John is. That can be a frustrating part of having some attorneys. Not John. He is extremely good at keep you informed and always returning and answering calls. John is the best the greater Seattle has to offer, as he comes from a family with generations of attorneys. He is kind and compassionate and I HIGHLY recommend him!! He is the best of the best!!!
Posted by Colin
First off, I met John Mucklestone at a courtroom for a bunch of traffic related problems that were costing me about $800.00. I went to the courtroom with my father when I was about 16 years old and saw John dismiss about 14 traffic tickets in a row!!! Lol. I looked at my father and said go catch that guy on the way out! So my father did in the hallway, John came back and miraculously got my ticket dismissed too. You could just see this guy was the man. Since then he has gotten me out of countless traffic related problems and had a DUI reduced to a NEG1. All around a solid good guy. I recommend him to anyone.
Posted by Stewart Johnson
2010 is one of those unlucky years for me when it comes to traffic tickets. I just relocated to Bothell from Seattle and it was an expensive learning process to curve to understand local speed limits. In one year, I managed to get 3 speeding tickets and 1 HOV Lane violation.
Thanks to John, who was recommended by another great Attorney, I have a clean driving record and still enjoy low insurance costs.
Posted by Jack
John worked very hard for me. He used every trick in the book & stuck it to the prosecutor. We went from "we'll have to go to trial" to case dismissed in 1 week.
Posted by anonymous
I had a major wreckless driving case which John helped me with; and he is THE BEST guy to talk to on that kind of stuff. There is a lot of crap going around on forums about how there are certain attorneys (who are a LOT more flashy, hint) who do good jobs- IGNORE THEM! This is the dude you want to talk to!
Posted by anonymous
I was introduced to John through a fomer girlfriend about 14 years ago when I was charged with a DUI. He had her DUI dismissed hence the recommendation.
This first DUI went to a jury trial in Seattle. I was found not guilty of DUI and also the failure to stop which led to the arrest.
After a few years, I found myself being pulled over and again charged with DUI. This time, the case was dismissed prior to even going to trial as my rights were violated at some point.
I stayed out of trouble for a while longer but was pulled over again and charged with DUI. I had some things going on in my life that required more attention and decided to plead guilty to a Reckless Driving. I'm sure I could have done better had I decided to fight this.
Finally in 2007, I again was charged with DUI. The first trial ended in a hung jury so we went back for another trial and I was again, found to be not guilty.
That's 3 out of 4 he beat for me.
I would highly recommend John.
Posted by Nick
I'm sure glad I hired John. I contacted him under 24 hours before my court date for a contested "speeding too fast for conditions" ticket. He wasn't worried about the short time, was able to reschedule his schedule to fit me in, and even stayed up late into the night to review my case. I felt I had a good idea about how to beat the case and thought about representing myself, but John won with a simple and effective angle that I wouldn't have thought of. And he said after the case, that if I did represent myself, I would have been at risk of being called upon by the prosecutor and may have said something to jeopardize my case. So it's best to hire a lawyer to not screw up your one chance at beating it. John was professional, dedicated to helping, and great with communication. He called me right after the case was won. So I would refer all of my friends in Washington to John if they ever get a traffic ticket.

European-style Nougat Recipe
December 20th, 2012 by Rosa
If you've got some spare time around the holidays for an intense candy-making project, check out Liddabit Sweets's recipe for European nougat, via Serious Eats. They'd make a great holiday treat!
If you've never had European-style nougat, it's very different from the nougat you find inside mass-produced candy bars like Milky Ways in appearance and taste. It reminds me of chewy meringues, and it's a delicious treat.

April 9, 2010 at 10:35 pm
This episode tops your previous one in terms of pure epicness! There's nothing like an epic confrontation between two grown men playing a board game!
Also, the wilhelm scream makes it even better! I say the more wilhelm screams, the better!
shipman96April 10, 2010 at 12:58 pm
right up there with you kent his cat dose look exatily like mine too
ScaurusApril 10, 2010 at 4:19 pm
I received this game as a birthday present from some relative when I was ten or eleven. I was never able to summon the patience to put this damn game together.

libz0rzApril 14, 2010 at 3:26 am
Love this video man. Been searching for Weapons and Warriors ever since I first seen this. Which was when you released it and I still can't find anything, but hey that's New Zealand for you. Found it on ebay, but the bloody shipping is like $84 USD even though that's for 4 sets of it.
Anyways again awesome video and same with hero quest.
LairosTallApril 14, 2010 at 10:08 pm
Heh…very funny. Great video.
This reminds me of my cat. When I was on the computer she would climb up on top of my head and just sit there. She was a small cat. Thanks for the reminder of her.

Wonder if there is a Ballerburg Board Game?ZeFlyGuyMay 8, 2010 at 8:51 pm
This is probably my favorite video on your site.
skidddogMay 13, 2010 at 2:44 pm
This is by far my favorite Board James episode. You know.. watching this video reminded me of a game that I had. It's the same game name, but not castles and catapults. The version I have is "Weapons and Warriors: Pirate Battle Game." It's really cool cause you have two Pirate Battle ships and islands instead of the castles and outposts, and you shoot cannons and mortars at the masts and sails and stuff. Perhaps you could do a side episode of that version of Weapons and Warriors? I know how busy you are though so.. Anyway, keep up the excellent work on your videos and I look forward to more Board James episodes.
wtfboomMay 14, 2010 at 1:58 pm
I feel like a loser for noticing this, but at 5:10, James pulls back the catapult with his thumb, and when it edits to show his face, he's pulling it pack with his index finger. Anyway, good video.
Grimlock1985May 19, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I had this game. Seeing this video made me remember how much I loved the way the top of the inner tower exploded. I hardly ever actually played in the way it was intended, though; I just let my imagination run amok… like having Transformers attack the castle.
GhostBustersFanMay 21, 2010 at 11:31 pm
I bought the game it took me over an hour to set it up and my little brother wanted to be the castle , so I had to be the army , and I won . Well its because he has no aim .
Anton MaersMay 22, 2010 at 2:16 am
I like ur cat. What is his name??? – Mr.Curios???
nonemployeeMay 24, 2010 at 5:21 pm
wow. Board game makers sure love their balls.
June 5, 2010 at 7:38 am
It's not fair! I never had any of these games as kid! I had Battleship. I guess thats close. Revolving Scrabble? Monopoly? Air Plane? Moncala?
Legos were my best friend.
JossaJune 9, 2010 at 3:43 pm
This game was so awesome. Back in 2nd grade when there wasn't much to do during the summers we played this constantly. We always threw blankets or towels in front of the couch or whatever so we wouldn't have to search for the balls constantly. It was my buddies game and I always got screwed with the raiders and always had stretched out rubber bands. If you broke the rubber bands and tied them back together you could get the tension back in them which made me feel smart at 8 years old. Great review.
TheGalaxyMasterJune 10, 2010 at 1:04 am
There's a similar game like this called, um… I don't remember. It's much more fair than this game.
TacticPwner117XBLJune 13, 2010 at 2:14 am
I wish I had this game so I could shoot people with the shots from the crossbows and cannons. Motherfucker Mike is lazy! I would of said, "HELP ME SET THIS SHIT UP FUCKER!"
The best vid that your cat has been in was the Jaguar pt. 2 (chasing the Jag cube around, CLASSIC!)
June 15, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I love this game, one time it took me three hours just to get it over with. AND I FUCKING LOST!!!!!!!
DjDiabolikJune 19, 2010 at 1:43 pm
OH yeah… your CAT it's the star of this episode!
What's your name ????

hey, i got a game not quite similar but as (if not more) epic as this game; Hasbro's Heroscape. this game takes hours to set up and about as long to play, quite the entertainment actualy but the problem is: how do you store it back? i had to use a few boxes to store the game. this game offers so much extension to the game, it's mind boggling. theres a orc extension, monks, cyborgs, beasts, dragons, WotC's own D&D is even in there and freaking MARVEL (oh wait, its Disney's Marvel, sry). so if you ever wanted to see spiderman or captain america defeat a troll, a dragon of even yeti, this is the closest thing you'll EVER get.

DinosaurPirateJuly 25, 2010 at 4:22 pm
I had a version of this that replaced the Army with a Pirate Ship. Pretty sure the castle was exactly the same, though.

I love your cat;
the best video of him is when James put him in the Roll & Rocker (NES Accesories) XDSenna4everJuly 29, 2010 at 10:56 am
TheGalaxyMaster says:
"There's a similar game like this called, um… I don't remember. It's much more fair than this game."
Crossbows and catapults.
Used to have it myself.
It was much better and you could buy new expansion sets and add to the battle.alastorvJuly 29, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Great vid. I gotta get this game. I think I saw it when I was 4 and wanted it because of the pieces. That's how you know the game is awesome, by how many pieces it has and how elaborate they are.
Bilbo536August 15, 2010 at 1:53 pm
I loved being the army cuz the castle was so much more fun to destroy!

you coud use bands for breaces, i have a lot and there great for replacing those(warning bad spelling I now)
November 13, 2010 at 12:48 pm
You'd think this would be another game that was good to play with siblings you didn't like (like Crossfire), but I hated trying to play this game with the my brother. He cheated way worse than Mike. Once he started losing, he would do his best to hit me or shoot the balls into hard to reach places.
Red ball retrieval was the worst part about the game.
And playing it on the floor with my own black kitty was impossible. Playing on the table just makes the balls go even farther.
The solution of putting the cat outside the room is fine if you don't mind hearing "THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP" of the cat trying to break down the door all game long. (I love you kitty, but WTH?)
Like DragonStrike, I have no idea what happened to my copy of this game. :/
SoanNovember 22, 2010 at 1:49 am
OMG. Me and a friend used to play this game all the time. We played it for hours and almost all through the night. We switched sides every game just to be fair. The game was so much fun.

I wonder how many parents sued the manufacturer, because of their kids being hit in the face with those flying balls.

I need to play this game. Thank me (God) for EBay.

I'm a huge fan of this Board James series. It has inspired me to do a video on the 1995 OverPower card game with Marvel, DC and Image super heroes. If anyone is craving more retro gaming you should check it out. Thanks!

Weird, I have the exact same game but it's called Siege instead? Was this re-released under a different name later, or is it just a Canadian thing?
I played this with my brothers all the time as a kid, and god damn those balls would always get lost.April 29, 2011 at 5:10 pm
What is the name of the song that plays at the end of the video?
ste022May 21, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Great video, and what a great looking game
ste022May 24, 2011 at 4:56 pm
After Watching this i've been and got a used copy off amazon, It is a great game. Thought I'd mention that you've set the weapons up wrong, the attacking army gets the cannon and the defenders get the crossbow. Worst part is trying to take out the general in the far tower it's near impossible and highly frustrating.
CalaveraJune 15, 2011 at 1:51 am
These are much better now that Mike just acts like himself instead of playing a character.

I have this game, well a different version of it with a small base with three slots and a larger wooden base with 6 slots. I don't think I actually ever played it. I would always just set up the figurines and blast them with the catapults.

This is why Crossbows & Catapults came out to replace this game… B/C you didn't have to set up landscape pieces. It was all just plastic discs rubber bands & plastic castles… AWESOME GAME NONE THE LESS…
StAlphonsoDecember 5, 2011 at 4:22 am
holy fuck i used to have this thing! nobody ever came over to actually play it though but id still set it up and just shoot balls all over the place….ok that came out wrong….

EradoseJanuary 29, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Those little balls were so easy to loose. Hence why it was a good idea to shut the doors, and block off anything they can roll under while playing it.
I still got one of the catapults, the cannon, and the crossbow. As for the rest of it, it's in the garage… somewhere.

OK, here's a dumb question, applying to most Universal Players. The stereo XLR outputs on the BDP-95 use a separate DAC and audio. Presumbably, this outputs FL and FR better than the MC FL and FR outputs. Is it possible when playing MC (SACD or 224/96 from ethernet) to use these XLR or dedicated stereo for the front two channels while using the analog MC RCAs for the other 3.1/5.1 channels (without stereo mixing, of course)? This would eliminate the requirement to reconnect the amp leads to the front channels.

Columnist wrong on taxes
Robert Samuelson offers typical right-wing talking points (âReject primitive view that government creates jobs,â Opinion, Oct. 27).
He claims that if consumersâ money werenât taxed, their purchases would boost private jobs.
But what do teachers and firefighters spend their money on? They spend it on the same things that people in the private sector spend their money on.
Taxpayers pay for police officers and firefighters, and we get their services. We live in a society, and as a society we decide what we need. In order for our society to work, we need taxes. There will always be government, no matter how much people like Samuelson despise it.
Adam Wright
Curb oppressive drones
Iâm not afraid of terrorism. I want government to stop being afraid on my behalf. I want it to end its politically profitable war on terror.
Drones will become the eyes and ears of Big Brother. When my neighbors and I are being watched, especially by the state, our behavior changes â" even if weâre doing nothing wrong. Thatâs why I demand the prohibition of federal use of drones unless:
They comply with the Fourth Amendmentâs search warrant requirements.
Any personal data not tied to a criminal probe is destroyed.
Without these safeguards, these drones do not have my consent, and they should not have yours, either.

Compromise on display
I have a solution for the man in Menifee who delights in displaying a hanging man in his Halloween display directly across from an elementary school (âScary Halloween display irks some,â Oct. 25).
Why not take down the display one hour before school begins, and put it back up one hour after school ends? In this way, the younger schoolchildren, especially, will not have to endure this, to them, very scary and horrible sight.

Since the discovery of Stuxnet several years ago, there has been a parade of targeted malware that may have been created or sponsored by nation states. Does an average person or business really need to worry about these things?
ESET researchers explain the difficulties in attribution of targeted attacks; evidence is often circumstantial and the source never positively identified.
Mass murder by pacemaker hacking isn't the likeliest scenario, but clinical tools and SCADA devices still deserve serious security scrutiny.
We read that "FinFisher spyware made by U.K.-based Gamma Group can take control of a range of mobile devices, including Apple Inc.'s iPhone and Research in Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry…", at the opening of a Bloomberg article that several readers of the ESET blog sent us yesterday, along with a number of questions that boil down
Last week, reports of a new malware named Gauss emerged, a complex threat that has attracted a lot of media attention due to its links to Stuxnet and Flame and its geographical distribution. Since ESET has added detection for this threat, we are seeing geographical distribution of detection reports similar to those detailed by Kaspersky.
A week ago the big malware news was the code known as Flame, Flamer, or sKyWIper (detected by ESET as Win32/Flamer.A), then on June 1, this news broke: "A damaging cyberattack against Iran's nuclear program was the work of U.S. and Israeli experts and proceeded under the secret orders of President Obama." (Washington Post) Clearly,
Despite the confusion and the stampede to claim detection ownership, W32/Flamer is more than a media sensation.
In fact, the real interest of the document lies in the extensive overview (12 closely-typed pages without graphics and such) of the DHS view of its own cybersecurity mission.
I've stopped maintaining Stuxnet resource pages recently, but occasionally I come across an article that adds something useful to the mix, or simply summarizes aspects of the Stuxnet story neatly and accurately. Besides, its authors must be feeling a little left out with all that fuss about TDL4. ;-) A recent report in Wired gives
"Infrastructure Attacks: The Next Generation?" now includes the speaker notes, which hopefully makes it more interesting and useful.
…the 'next Stuxnet' probably won't be any such thing, whatever we may choose to call it…
… albeit more slowly than previously. Added to the resources page at http://blog.eset.com/2011/01/23/stuxnet-information-and-resources-3 today: A nice article by Mark Russinovich on Analyzing a Stuxnet Infection with the Sysinternals Tools, Part 1. Though I don't think Stuxnet is universally acknowledged as the most sophisticated malware ever. See, for instance, http://gcn.com/articles/2011/01/18/black-hat-stuxnet-not-superworm.aspx. (Hat tip to Security Garden for the pointer.)
Kelly Jackson Higgins in a Dark Reading article tells us that Malware Attacks Decline In SCADA, Industrial Control Systems, quoting a report published by the Security Incidents Organization drawing on its Repository of Industrial Security Incidents (RISI) database. One aspect that's attracted attention on specialist lists is the mention of a large US power company
