Hi! can you share with me more about your experience with the Bliv product? Does it cause any breakout? do you see a significant reduce in blackhead/whiteheads?
I am contemplating if I should buy and try.. my black/whitehead skin problem is probably mild to moderate but who can resist better/spotless skin?!
It is actually very pricey @ SGD 69.95.. and I am thinking of getting it via their website in USD (i get USD 2 + USD 5 for birthday month but they have not mailed the latter voucher to me yet..)... but i cant wait to try this product..!!

Looks like there's finally some progress happening with the Clash of the Titans remake that was announced back in 2006. The big news is Liam Neeson has been tapped for the part of Zeus. However what's disconcerting is, according to the articles (written April of this year), "Shooting will begin on the film later this month in Britain and will see Neeson team up with Ralph Fiennes for the first time since 1993 Oscar winner Schindler's list."
Fiennes will apparently be playing the part of Hades. Other actors announced include Mads Mikkelsen (as Draco), Gemma Arterton (as the demi-goddess Io), Alexa Devalos (as Andromeda), and Sam Worthington (as Perseus). In other words it's taken close to three bloody years just to get out of the announced idea slash pre-production stage and into the maybe-possibly-perhaps ready to start shooting stage. This article mentioned that Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk) will direct.
But has it actually gotten to the production stage? This project has been bandied about for quite a few years with many different names attached to it.
One article casually mentions the film is "due out next year", which if true doesn't bode well for the film's quality in my opinion. It is now April. For this movie to get filmed, go through post production, and hit theatres sometime next year would mean this would have to literally be one of those hackneyed rush jobs where principle photography is done in a few weeks (or less) and post-production takes months. If this is the case my vote is just save critics poison pens the ink and trash the project before it further devolves into a straight to SyFy monstrosity.
Too, I am forced to ask, why Neeson as Zeus? I'm not saying Neeson can't play the role. But it seems like the only reason he got cast was name recognition. Has anyone involved with this lame duck production bothered to LOOK at the CENTURIES worth of artifacts in museums? Does Neesom remotely resemble any statue or, say, any idealized painting of Zeus?
Granted you put the right fake beard on Mr. Neeson and he'll look fine, but then you could probably say that of anyone. I suppose that "name power" trumps casting to type. Unless you're talking about statuary from the archaic period, in which case I think there were a few representations of Zues sans beard from that era. Yet Liam, in his prime, was more of an Apollonian youth. As a veteran actor Mr. Neeson, in my opinion, has the gravitas to portray Hades. Similarly Fiennes seems better suited to filling the sandals of Hephaestus. But what do I know. All I was ever able to come up with as a fantasy cast for my version of Clash of the Titans was a flawed, if entertaining, group of character actors. .
Yes, I know, there's no Centauress in Clash. But, c'mon, it's Jolene Blalock! Topless! Now THAT would be worth the price of admission.

Brazilian Strawberry Limeade
Adapted from "Our Best Bites"
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
4 juicy limes
1 cup sugar
6 cups water
4-6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1. Make a simple syrup consisting of 1 cup hot water and 1 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the simple syrup and remaining water into a pitcher and chill until ready to use.
Note: This step can be done ahead of time.
2. Puree strawberries. Press the mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into the pitcher you will serve the limeade in using the back of a spoon. Discard the seeds.
3. Wash limes thoroughly with soap. Cut the ends off the limes and then cut each lime into eighths.
4. Place half of the limes in a blender.
5. Add half of the sugar water. Place the top on your blender and pulse 5 times.
6. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher (the one you will serve the limeade in) and pour the blended mixture through the strainer and into the pitcher. Use a spoon to press the rest of the liquid into the pitcher.
7. Dump the pulp and stuff in the strainer into the trash.
8. Repeat with the remaining limes and sugar water.
9. Add 4 tablespoons of the sweetened condensed milk. Stir until mixed.
10. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed - add some more condensed milk.
11. Serve immediately over lots of ice.
Makes 4 servings

So yeah. Here's the deal. I'm hopped up on a lot of sugar. I mean A LOT of sugar. Like, 2/3 of my sugar consumption for the year happens in the three days leading up to Christmas. And the reason is almost entirely work-related. You see, in the three days leading up to Christmas, there is often a tragic and unavoidable convergence of events that almost always leads up to the exact same result. Namely, me feeling like crap and wishing I could travel back in time.

Morning Star
by Louise Nousratpour
The competition watchdog has fined 10 retailers and two tobacco manufacturers £225 million for "unlawful practices" in pricing of cigarettes, cigars and rolling tobacco.
The fine - the largest total ever imposed by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) - came after Imperial Tobacco and Gallaher struck "price-matching" arrangements with retailers in which the prices of their tobacco products were linked to those made by rivals.
The watchdog said that the agreements over price fixing between rival brands were "unlawful" because "they can lead to reduced competition and ultimately disadvantage consumers."
Left Economic Advisory Panel co-ordinator Andrew Fisher welcomed the OFT fines, which he said exposed "the lies in the rhetoric of big business. Far from the mythical free-market economy, big business seeks a monopolised stranglehold over consumers."
Mr Fisher added: "The value of the OFT has also been highlighted and it's no surprise that the favourite party of big business - the Tories - is calling for a 'bonfire of the quangos.' Both consumers and government revenues would be worse off without the OFT."
The retailers caught up in the case were Asda, the Co-operative Group, First Quench, Morrisons, One Stop Stores (formerly T&S Stores), Safeway, Sainsbury's, Shell, Somerfield and TM Retail - the owner of the McColls and Martins chains.
Safeway has since been bought by Morrisons, the Co-operative has acquired Somerfield and First Quench, which owned off-licence Threshers, went into administration last year.
Imperial Tobacco, whose tobacco brands include Lambert & Butler, received the biggest fine - £112.3m - but denied "categorically" that its pricing practices were anti-competitive or affected consumers.
The group plans to appeal.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for February 2010.
This week I got a reject letter from another publishing company. I am beginning to fear that Legend of Circle Stone may never make it to the finished book stage. Although I've had it professionally edited and reviewed – it isn't getting accepted. So I'm going back to square one.
#1 – why do I write. I write because I have voices in my head that want to be heard, visions that need to come to life, and things I want to say. I write because I love it. I write because my day is not complete if I don't.
#2 – why did I write this story, in this genre, for a middle-grade audience? One day I saw a huge beautiful moth. I felt he was magic and had a mission to accomplishment. I love to read fantasy. The protagonist – is much like me at that age.
#3 – are there any common threads in the rejections? Reviewers have told me that a.) the language is not consistent for the age group and that the vocabulary is too difficult in some places. b.) Not enough action in the beginning.
So – I guess I will pull up my writing boot-straps and rewrite it for the umpteenth time. I will research for age appropriate words and read some more middle-grade novels to catch on to what works for this age group. (In between working on my other works-in-progress.) Stripes and Carolyn have a fantastic world and wonderful message to share. Eventually I will get it right if I write, research, and re-write.

Press Play
by: Eric Devine
Greg Dunsmore, a.k.a. Dun the Ton, is focused on one thing: making a documentary that will guarantee his admission into the film school of his choice. Every day, Greg films his intense weight-loss focused workouts as well as the nonstop bullying that comes from his classmates. But when he captures footage of violent, extreme hazing by his high school's championship-winning lacrosse team in the presence of his principal, Greg's field of view is in for a readjustment.
Greg knows there is a story to be told, but it is not clear exactly what. And his attempts to find out the truth only create more obstacles, not to mention physical harm upon himself. Yet if Greg wants to make his exposé his ticket out of town rather than a veritable death sentence, he will have to learn to play the game and find a team to help him.
Combine the underbelly of Friday Night Lights with the unflinching honesty of Walter Dean Myers, and you will find yourself with Eric Devine's novel of debatable truths, consequences, and realities.
Rating: 5/5 Stars
This book is an absolutely fantastic story of perseverance and transformation. Greg, AKA Dun the Ton, is an overweight sixteen year old boy struggling to become healthy with the help of his distant friend Quinn. While in the middle of a workout, Greg and Quinn witness the lacrosse team's captain's heinous hazing techniques. As guy is also a "film nerd", he is able to capture this act on film. Since it seems that the entire town is part of this crime in some aspect, the boys have little that they can do other than gather information and proof that these horrific acts (that range from verbal and physical abuse to literally being force fed human feces) are occurring.
When I started this book, I was a bit on the fence about whether I would enjoy it as I rarely read books that are written in a boy's point of view. These fears of uncertainty were quickly put to rest as I was sucked into the mystery of how these boys would be able to expose the lacrosse team's captains as well as the school administration pulling the strings.
Out of all of the characters in this band of misfits, I felt the greatest connection to Ollie. I loved his perseverance throughout everything as well as his ability to speak frankly about whatever was occurring at the time. Near the end, my heart broke for him when he was dealt a hand he did not deserve. I would love to read more about Ollie.
Overall, this is a fantastic book I would definitely recommend to youth as it teaches the importance of perseverance and the importance of friendship. Five huge stars!

By the end of the day, GCI closed a bit lower: $26.67, up 92 cents, or 3.6%. But that close, too, was a 52-week high.
Shares are now at their highest since the end of the Great Recession of 2009, when GCI fell below $2 a share and the board of directors slashed the quarterly dividend 90%, to 4 cents from 40 cents.
Since then, the board has raised the dividend twice. It's now 20 cents a quarter, for a yield of 3% based on today's closing price.
Gannett's stock has climbed 42% from a year ago vs. a much smaller 16% gain in the S&P 500, a widely watched index of overall market activity.
Happy days, here again
Some of the biggest individual beneficiaries of the stock run-up are senior executives whose stock options are no longer worthless.
the spring proxy report to shareholders. That means she can buy those shares for those prices, no matter how high GCI trades in the open market.
So, today's 92-cent bump increased the value of those options by about $334,000.
Now, Martore holds options on another 271,000 shares, too, but at exercise prices of $31.75 to $87.33 a share, the proxy report says.
GCI may well hit $31.75 again. But pigs will fly and then ice skate in hell before we ever see $87.33.
Unless, of course, the newspaper division gets spun off.

Goldman Sachs: Bloodsuckers supreme
"The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.
Any attempt to construct a narrative around all the former Goldmanites in influential positions quickly becomes an absurd and pointless exercise, like trying to make a list of everything. What you need to know is the big picture: If America is circling the drain, Goldman Sachs has found a way to be that drain — an extremely unfortunate loophole in the system of Western democratic capitalism, which never foresaw that in a society governed passively by free markets and free elections, organized greed always defeats disorganized democracy."
Goldman's modus operandi for such bloodsucking he explains thus:"Goldman positions itself in the middle of a speculative bubble, selling investments they know are crap. Then they hoover up vast sums from the middle and lower floors of society with the aid of a crippled and corrupt state that allows it to rewrite the rules in exchange for the relative pennies the bank throws at political patronage.
Finally, when it all goes bust, leaving millions of ordinary citizens broke and starving, they begin the entire process over again, riding in to rescue us all by lending us back our own money at interest, selling themselves as men above greed, just a bunch of really smart guys keeping the wheels greased.
They've been pulling this same stunt over and over since the 1920s — and now they're preparing to do it again, creating what may be the biggest and most audacious bubble yet." Here he's referring to the upcoming carbon credits scam - more below.
In relation to the dotcom bust he says "they did this by setting up what was, in reality, a two-tiered investment system — one for the insiders who knew the real numbers, and another for the lay investor who was invited to chase soaring prices the banks themselves knew were irrational."
He makes a convincing claim that Goldman orchestrated the whole oil bubble of the last few years "by persuading pension funds and other large institutional investors to invest in oil futures". This is true, and it's equally true that Goldman got out before prices collapsed. Pension funds were the losers in this instance.
"After the oil bubble collapsed last fall, there was no new bubble to keep things humming — this time, the money seems to be really gone. So the financial safari has moved elsewhere, and the big game in the hunt has become the only remaining pool of dumb, unguarded capital left to feed upon: taxpayer money."
Taibbi really cuts loose on the incredible situation whereby the authors of the current economic meltdown have been put in charge of its rescue, as I also referred to in this post. Taibbi shows how one of the first acts of the Goldmanites was to get rid of their biggest competitor, Lehman Brothers. This was left to sink while various other non-competitors were kept afloat with taxpayers' money.
"[Former Treasury Secretary Hank] Paulson elected to let Lehman Brothers — one of Goldman's last real competitors — collapse without intervention. The very next day, Paulson greenlighted a massive, $85 billion bailout of AIG, which promptly turned around and repaid $13 billion it owed to Goldman. Thanks to the rescue effort, the bank ended up getting paid in full for its bad bets: By contrast, retired auto workers awaiting the Chrysler bailout will be lucky to receive 50 cents for every dollar they are owed.
Having seamlessly navigated the political minefield of the bailout era, Goldman is once again back to its old business, scouting out loopholes in a new government-created market with the aid of a new set of alumni occupying key government jobs."
Having pumped millions into Obama's and other Democrats' campaigns, they're already getting payback in possibly the biggest wheeze of all – carbon credits.
I strongly recommend you read the full article here.
And where was the MSM in all of this? In the middle of it, that's where. And no surprise because they're part of the whole dog-and-pony show. What's needed is another October Revolution, where these parasitic criminals are left dangling from lampposts
48 comments:
It was jewish bankers like Sachs who were the main orchestrators behind the red "October revolution" in the first place.
What's needed is a complete clampdown on world jewry, ie the banks, and all of their money grabbing capitalist usurious inventions.
These parasites have decimated the west and just want to hammer the final nail in.

We need good regulation, despite what bankers and businessmen will tell you.
That could have stopped all of this unweildy stuff.
Its not the Jews, its just greedy men (several of whom are indeed Jewish), trying to hoard for themselves a la evolutionary psychology. It takes a big man to do whats best for the rest of his country even though he might gain less for himself, but those are the kinds of men we need right now.
Cronyism at Goldman and Wall Street and the Treasury are rampant. We need outside people running these things, and we need to prosecute people who break the rules and put their asses in prison and before or while, and not after they have commited financial murder, like Madoff. We got him, but only after he fleeced many people. We need to be pro-active and nail folks not playing by the rules early in the game.
Hank Paulson, Ben Bernake, Alan Greenspan, Tim Geithner, and especially Robert Rubin have caused much harm to the many while helping themselves and their buddies. Its time to quash this and punish it according to the law.

Here we go again, this is how Hitler started.It is quite simple really if you dont like the way that the man drives the bus DON"T GET ON.People who constantly moan about these things have a simple choice, if you don't like Jewish banks then put your money in a non-Jewish bank.Anyone with historical knowledge can tell you how the catholic church so despised the Jewish banks that they connived to create the Lombard bank.Do you think that they were any better, not a damn, the only difference was that the money went to rome.
- 4 July 2009 at 07:20
Oh PUL-EEEEZE!!!! Why cant any discussion of things Jewish or race always get Hitler and the slippery slope arguments drawn in?
This is a surre-fire way of stopping all discussion and investigation. I suppose that's why it's used so much.
But it also shows that those who use it don't have much to back up their arguments.

What annoys me is that if a crook, embezzler, conman happens to be Jewish, this automatically becomes the prime factor.
If its anyone else, nobody bothers noting that he's a Christian, Buddhist or Hindu - because its totally irrelevant. It only becomes relevant when a Jew is involved.
Take Merrill-Lynch for example. That firm sounds very Irish to me. Does that mean we should tar and feather all the Irish? Do all the Irish automatically become collectively guilty through a very thin association?
That is exactly what always happens with "the Jews" - no individuals, just a collective herd.
BTW, I dont think Jews have much control over Goldman-Sachs anymore.
- 4 July 2009 at 16:01
There aren't any non-jewish banks. Second, I have always advocated for a national banking system outside of private hands.
I know raising the "jewish question" is touchy with some jews on this forum but it's like ignoring the pink elephant in the room otherwise.
- 4 July 2009 at 16:31
Speculative banking was a Jewish invention, like the stick exchange and other terrible usurious inventions of modern capitalism that have robbed billions of the common people. It will continue.
You see, it actually helps to be aware of how other races are out to destroy you and increase their own power at the behest of your own people. That's why I don't trust Jews to look after my money or even to sell me something, and never will. They wish to rob the gentiles blind. If it's the nature of fire to burn then I will take protective measures not to get burnt.
These are the same scumbags behind the world wars, the property and banking collapses, the oil crisis's and mass immigration of so called cheap labor. Rothschild, goldmans sachs etc are at the forefront always of these engineered catastrophes. They make a problem and then sell you back a solution. This is not sustainable to any nation on the contrary it is pure nihilism. All rhetoric and diplomatic "political correctness" aside, we need to take our own countries back or we are fucked being forever be under the financial throes of these feasting parasites. Pure and simple.

It's always 'The Jews'. Fact: Jews will form a high % of all well-paid occupations because they're smart. You'll see them as doctors, lawyers, scientists etc. And bankers.
Israelieedjit is right - we dont blame the Irish for the sins of Merril Lynch
- 4 July 2009 at 23:56
Has anyone seen anything that is wrong or inacxcurate in the article?
- 5 July 2009 at 00:19
To say that there are no non -jewish bankers is absolute twaddle,99% of banks are public companies with shares traded on the Stock Exchanges, the same goes for investment houses, do you think that Barclays,UBS ,Bank of China Standard Chartered Etc are Jewish? I give you a yes for Cantor Fitzgerald that Jewish-Irish private investment company who lost many of their employees in the 9-11 attacks, but surely it is NOT COMPULSORY to invest in them ? The same goes for Bernie Madoff, no-one was ever forced to put their money there.The way I look at it is simple,Ashkenazi Jews are ( By Far) the most intelligent group of humans on the planet with an average I.Q of 12% more than Europeans( according to the Bell Curve) this means that (on average) they will be better off financially and brain power-wise than the average bog trotter fact ! get over it, if you really want to see what happens when the ignorant masses take over from the clever wealthy people just look at Africa.......What a fuck up... this will happen to any country where the ignorant masses think that they are better than the money makers.

Wall St/the City is home to a vast swindle(50% of Wall St happens to be Yid)they do nothing for the real economy, they just inflate the markets for long enough so they can cream the profits until it goes bust.
At the present they are pouring cash into crude oil so to push up the price, self interest is all they know.
The financial system should be changed, then we can put a stop to all this manufactured misery(Social Credit)

Cheeky boy :-
No 1 The sole purpose of any business is to make money for its owners ( Shareholders).
No 2 For the last Eighteen years the City of London has made more money than EVERY other business in the UK combined, think about that for a while, your Yids paid more taxes than every single working class factory worker,shopworker,farmer Etc .
No 3 When business is started it is for ONE reason only , do you imagine that there should be some other reason such as the public good,like in Cuba or Vietnam? NO of course not, when you go to work every day it is because you want money LOTS of it, I've never seen anyone go on strike for less money.It is ironic that all working class people go on strike for more money but when someone makes lots of money they are despised.
No 4 The Chinese are at this very moment buying up as much oil as they can rather than invest in US Bonds, are they Yids as you put it or smart cookies.
- 5 July 2009 at 11:27
I'm totally pessimistic. Not so much about what's after happening, rather that all the guilty ones both here and the US, are back in the saddle controlling things again, pulling the levers. Our only hope is that we fall into intense poverty then people might wake up.

lol does anyone still believe that the Israeliejit (who claimed to be of Irish blood previously and a then calls us "dumb paddys") is actually here for anything but benevolent reasons? Em Joe you may call us "bog trotters" but why do you have an Irish name? Silly of you isn't it? Good to see a bit of honesty from you kikes now and again though.
That's it compare Irish to the negroes in Africa. The Brits for centuries said that the Irish couldn't rule their own country and only after a long violent exchange of power did we regain a modicum of soveriegnity. Well earned I would say. Fact is, whoever has the majority of world will form the zietgiest of that period and the world will take forms and trends congruent to their outlook. This is now the reign of the merchant third- fourth estate who usurped the first estate - the traditional European nobility. Prevously Europe sustained itself for millenias through a noble aryan outlook congruent to their spirit of fairness, loyality and discipline and sacredness, borders and limits.
Now the Jew has a typical semitic outlook, of obessions with abstractions, hatred, envy and pettiness. The Romans built the last great civilisation this world has ever seen. All done without the need for a numerical system that the jewish merchants introduced to Europe in the 12th century as a means to hoodwink the goyims expenses on credit loans. By virtue of the semitic greedy spirit, it has polluted traditional European societies with unnatural forces and materials that have destroyed environments and people's way of life. Completely ruining everything that once held a superior virtue.
You know I hear alot about the Ashkenazi this the Ashkenazi that. Simply put they are mongrel bastard race of thieves with loyalities to nobody (the mossad's eblem is the vampire bat. Irony really). Their DNA counts a high rate of negro blood (the semitic north african), while the Irish are more closely related to their fellow nordics. Even more so than the majority of Brits.
Sachs is Shepardi by the way not Askehnazi. The "Bell Curve" has already being refuted as tosh, and the motives of its two kike authors are highly questionable.
Also the high rate of marriage to blond gentile women by billionaires doesn't say much for their own kind either.

"Money Talks by Tomislav Sunic"
"Never has money been so important in human relations. Never has it so much affected the destiny of so many Americans and Europeans. Today money has become a civil religion that makes it the centerpiece of discourse in all cultures and subcultures. At European and American cafes, on the Champs Élysées, or on Sunset Boulevard, at concert halls, and even in parliaments, one hears and smells its verbal derivatives such as "moulah," "dough," "fric," "Kohle," "pognon." It is a language understood by all. In all segments of their lives Western citizens invariably talk about money and what money can buy. The great respite may come with the current financial crisis, which is finally undoing the liberal system with all its conventional wisdoms and lies. The ongoing economic depression may be the sign that the reign of money and the dictatorship of well-being are coming to an end.
Sounds familiar? No, it does not. In ancient European traditions money and commerce were looked down upon and at times these two activities were in principle forbidden to Europeans. Merchants were often foreigners and considered second class citizens.

I didnt CLAIM to be of Irish blood - I STATED that I am of 100% Irish blood going back generations. And where did I mention "dumb paddys" you illiterate bastard????
As for Negroid blood from North Africa and all the other tripe - you are one ignorant bastard. Jews never originated from North Africa - they went to Morocco, Algeria and the like after they were expelled from Spain over 500 years ago. DNA research shows that that Ashkenazi women derive from just FOUR maternal sources from the MIDDLE EAST.
The claim that 50% of Wall Street are "Yids" is a gross exaggeration. Regardless, everyone has been ecstatic watching their pension funds and savings gaining admirable interest over the past few decades. Noone talked about "the Jews" during that period! That has been forgotten. Through their lack of regulations, laws and solid financial system, the U.S. has brought a financial crisis on the whole world.
But all of a sudden its "the Jews" fault.
That is why Anonymous @ 04 July 2009 07:20 mentioned Hitler. At a time of financial crisis, rising unemployment and general dissatisfaction it is oh so easy to blame "the Jews".
Quoting you: "Now the Jew has a typical semitic outlook, of obessions with abstractions, hatred, envy and pettiness....By virtue of the semitic greedy spirit...they are mongrel bastard race of thieves with loyalities to nobody."
The most eloquent response I can muster is "Fuck you!"

I see from the latest live feed indicator that most of the anti- semitic comments are coming from the US of A.That is as maybe and they are (like others) entitled to their viewpoint. By the way I live in South Africa and have a genuine Irish name and I sympathize with Israel in particular and Jews in general) this explains my viewpoint , also I have been tainted (formed) by a long hard life, beginning by being born during an air raid in London this is at the same time that that Cuban half breed De Velara refused the British permission to base aircraft in Southern Ireland despite the fact that 100% of Ireland's fuel and 60% of their food came from the Atlantic convoys ,( This is not taking anything away from the tens of thousands of brave Irishmen who fought alongside the British)for which many thousands of brave Englishmen gave their lives defending.I was born poor and struggled long and hard to get where I am today ( Fucking filthy rich)and I have noticed in my long hard life that supressed socialism , what I call the politics of envy are at the heart of most of the anti-semitism, in other words JEALOUSY.

"Southern Ireland despite the fact that 100% of Ireland's fuel and 60% of their food came from the Atlantic convoys"
You sure about that. The British wouldn't transport goods for Ireland in their shipping because Ireland was neutral.(in 1941 Britain looked like a beaten docket). One of the "success" stories of 'the Emergency' was the founding of the Irish Shipping Company specifically to transport supplies to Ireland. These ships couldn't be attacked because we were neutral.

People need to look at the long term. Recently there have been a series of articles in German mainstream financial press about the declining value of paper money, including the EURO, since most paper currencies are somehow hooked to the USD via the Bretton Woods system. Prof. Hanke, one of 4 specialists to go to court in order to prevent the change from DM to EURO, summarized all of this in a book he wrote 5 years ago. He predicted the current crash. He also predicts a new world financial system in which Gold will again play a role, though it will not be exclusive.
Since Nixon dumped the Gold Standard, paper money has been losing its value. And since governments feel bound to spend their way out of problems, and can print dollars without having to worry about having enough Gold against it, the mechanism feeds on itself. Thus, built into the post-Bretton Woods system is a self-destructing mechanism which ultimately has to lead to a financial meltdown and thus a new global financial structure. Countries such as China and Russia do not want to be part of the unstable western paper money system. Apparently the incident in China where Chinese economics students openly laughed at Geithner was turning point. The press says that nobody would have laughed at a US treasury sec. before. It shows how little respect there is for Bretton Woods 1.0. Unfortunately the western nations are going to be the losers at Bretton Woods 2.0.

"Oh PUL-EEEEZE!!!! Why cant any discussion of things Jewish or race always get Hitler and the slippery slope arguments drawn in?"
It's commonly referred to as GODWIN'S LAW.
Any poster embedding "Hitler" or "Nazi" into their argument most often doesn't have a valid point to make, so standing on their morally superior soap box, the hope is to guilt-trip you into shutting down any further debate on a political-incorrect topics they're unable to cope with.
...or as the old saying goes, the definition of a "racist" is anybody who's winning an argument with a liberal -- one who-- is used to setting all the guidelines for what passes for national debate -- is insulated from the effects of his opinions -- and doesn't much care for being challenged.
Also Henry Makow, Ph.D, a jewish dissident, is an excellent source of info for those wishing to broaden their knowledge on the "jewish" question.

What annoys me is that if a crook, embezzler, conman happens to be Jewish, this automatically becomes the prime factor.
Look, Israel: When the $50 billion ponzi scheme blew in America, EVERYONE figured a Jew did it. If they gave out Nobel prizes for money scams, Jews would disproportionately populate that list too.
Denying it is exactly the wrong thing to do.
BTW, I dont think Jews have much control over Goldman-Sachs anymore.
The corporations of late capitalism have long since been dominated by management, not ownership.
Take Merrill-Lynch for example. That firm sounds very Irish to me. Does that mean we should tar and feather all the Irish? Do all the Irish automatically become collectively guilty through a very thin association?
Virtually all gang rapes are committed by blacks. Are all blacks guilty? No.
The question is: Is it reasonable, practical, efficient and moral to ignore the group features in personal interactions and even law?

So the business wasn't legal back then. But the rates were low, and the contract simplicity itself: Pay up or we break your legs. Is that really so much worse than a humiliating, painful, protracted bloodletting in bankruptcy court and court payment plans?

What will sink Goldman is neither jealosy of its success, nor its like-minded alumni sprinkled in many positions of power and influence.
The funny thing is that the math in Goldman's prop trading platform, from which it has derived much profit of late, is not particularly brilliant or special. If it was hard to replicate, there wouldn't be much point in keeping it secret. It is the utter mundaneness that must be kept secret, to guard the accumulated mystique of the firm.
The brilliance is not in the strategy, but in the execution, in the platform, which includes everything that makes Goldman an institution: Its disciplined culture, history, tradition, alumni in high places, and all the advantages of a large, connected industry incumbent. It adds up to more than the sum of its parts.
People don't resent profits from good math. That's viewed as somehow more earned, the result of admirable individual brain power and work.
They don't even resent group success per se. Look at the game of American football. It has stars, to be sure, but every win is a team effort, and every team member justly shares in the win.
But that is open and honest and obvious to everyone.
What the relative simplicity of Goldman's math does is expose the collective nature of its profits, extending to its alumni and far beyond Goldman itself.
If a football team were to in jest deny its victory was a team effort, it would be laughed at. If it was discovered to be sincere in its denial, it would be thought insane.
In the case of Goldman, it would be denounced as a pack of liars, and blood would be demanded.
After all, there's money involved.

Recently there was a comment by a Goldman representative that the stolen software could be used to manipulate the markets.
Well, during Aleynikov's July 4 bail hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Facciponti told a federal magistrate judge that "the bank has raised the possibility that there is a danger that somebody who knew how to use this program could use it to manipulate markets in unfair ways." ( See a transcript of the hearing here.)
An astute observer noticed that I suppose it is OK for Goldman to use the software to manipulate the markets but not somebody else.

Article in our daily newspaper:
"Blaming the Jews
Obama resorting to tried and tested ploy: Making friends at Jews' expense
Elyakim Haetzni Published: 07.07.09,
In World War II, most Europeans willingly supported the Nazis. The reason for this, which most people prefer to silence, is that Germany's main sex appeal was its anti-Semitism.
In Western Europe, the overwhelming Jewish success in all areas of life prompted great jealousy, while in Eastern Europe the masses believed that the Jews are depriving them of the little they have. The Nazis opened the dams – the legal, religious, and social ones – that protected the Jews against these ill feelings; from that point, it was permissible to openly hate Jews, and also to harm them and damage their property.
Europeans today do not feel comfortable to contend with the fact that the "license" to hunt Jews enabled the Nazi murderers to win the hearts and minds of others.
Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who is currently building a nuclear bomb and deflecting the world's attention through Holocaust denial and threats to exterminate Israel, is also satisfying pent up sentiments. Even though one-third of them were exterminated, the Jews are again "riding high" – in the media, among the world's billionaires, among Nobel Prize laureates, and in politics. Moreover, the cheeky Jewish state –a success story in its own right – took over Jerusalem.
Besides, the world doesn't like to see strong and victorious Jews.
Yet how can one find an outlet for these frustrations in the shadow of the Holocaust, and with anti-Semitism no longer being fashionable? There comes Ahmadinejad, and under the guise of slamming "Israel" – a code-word understood by all – openly calls for the extermination of the Jews. Who knows how many hearts he won by utilizing this Nazi patent.
Ahmadinejad's great success story is the US president's intention to meet him halfway, after Obama already reached the midpoint on his own, en route to captivating the hearts of nations fed up with the "ugly American": the Iranians, the Europeans, the South Americans, and the Arabs. And who has been left out? The Jews and their state, of course.
Settlement issue just a pretext
While seeking a way to get rid of the "friendship" that undermines America's popularity - a friendship that Israel foolishly highlights to an unrealistic extent - Obama reached the same solution: Acquiring friends worldwide at the expense of the Jews, under the pretense of "Israel" of course.
This is good for public opinion, which blames the "Jewish" Wall Street for the economic crisis, and it's also received well by the Europeans, who have never ceased to hate Jews and are again seeing them flourishing and taking up key posts. Mostly, this is the "Open Sesame" password aimed at those who will not believe in a "different America" until it parts ways with Israel.
Therefore, it will be naïve to think that because of some remote settlement we lost Obama's "friendship"; the issue of settlement expansion is just a pretext, and others will follow.
Netanyahu was especially pathetic when he spoke, at the home of the US ambassador to Israel, about a sort of eternal covenant with America. After all, every such public embrace requires the embraced party to show rejection in order to shake off the nuisance.
Why aren't they telling us the truth; the fact that even today the hatred of Jews opens doors worldwide? Because this insight embarrasses and frustrates assimilated Jews, who hope to be "forgiven" for their Jewishness as long as they smear other Jews. It also embarrasses Jews who view Zionism as a way to assimilate as a collective. Both these groups hoped, in vain, that Zionism will erase the notion of "a people dwelling alone". However, others view this "stain" as a sign of distinction and source of pride. For them, Obama's distancing is not the end of the world.
The winds of Jew-hatred are again blowing across the world. Those who have roots will be able to withstand them." Ynet.co.il

Israelieedjit - I think this comment is a bit paranoid. Come on, 'most of Europe welcomed the Nazis' ??? Gimme a break!
I agree that Israel is becoming quite unpopular, but much of that stems from its own actions, almost entirely from its settlement programme.
And on this point, I think it a huge mistake to equate everything anti-Israeli with being anti-Jewish. This is a VERY dangerous raod to follow as in effect your tying Jews in the diaspora to what an increasingly religious and messianic Israel is doing.
Recommnedation from a friend: Don't do this.

IsrealiEejit - what do you think about this?
Other right-wing rabbis have been quoted in the local media referring to Palestinians as subhuman or as animals, arguing that as non-Jews their lives are of inferior value.
I realize this is well within Talmudic teachings but does it also apply to Christians?

To Anon @ 12 July 2009 06:48
"Other right-wing rabbis have been quoted in the local media referring to Palestinians as subhuman or as animals, arguing that as non-Jews their lives are of inferior value."
The article doesnt mention NAMES of such rabbis or in which LOCAL MEDIA quotes were taken. A google-search fails to come up with anything.
Personally, I've never heard of a rabbi saying such things.
Some people might think of them as being inferior in the same way that Savant and others here feel towards the blacks, lacking intelligence, lacking any motivation to work, be educated or generally improve themselves. Plus, willingness to become suicide-bombers. They state they glorify death to the same extent that Jews glorify life.
This has nothing to do with Christians, not even Palestinian Christians who are totally different culture-wise than Palestinian Muslems. The former do strive to become educated and successful.
- 13 July 2009 at 16:18
Savant, the article I posted was from a daily newspaper here in Israel. I posted it to demonstrate some threads of thought regarding anti-semitism, jealousy, conspiracies.
Regarding settlement activity, the successful Palestinian Propaganda Machine has made most people believe that every Jewish settlement beyond the Green Line is illegal.
This is in fact wrong.
The Green Line has never been a border and was never meant to become a border. It was a cease-fire line where soldiers happened to be when the truce was declared.
The international representatives who drew up UN SC RES 242 stated that a border was to be NEGOTIATED UPON in the future. It was agreed that a border on the Green Line would be suicidal for Israel. 242 calls for Israel to withdraw from SOME of the territory captured in 1967 but not ALL of the territory. So far Israel has withdrawn from over 90% of the captured territory.
Following the 1967 war, Israel wanted to return the land in return for Arab recognition and peace but the Arab League held a summit in Khartoum and decided: No negotiations, no recognition and no peace with Israel.
During the peace agreement negotiations with Egypt, Israel wanted the Gaza Strip to return to Egypt's control but Sadaat refused. When making peace with Jordan, they also ignored the West Bank population even though Jordan itself was created for the Palestinians.
It takes two to tango Savant. If the Arabs had wanted peace, it could have been achieved years ago.
At the moment, Hamas and Fatah are too busy with their infighting. Looking at the larger picture, the Arab states will never allow the Palestinians to live in peace and prosperity as that would go against their agenda. They prefer keeping them as a pawn and a thorn-in-the-side of the West and Israel. Solving the issue would leave the Arab states with no-one to vent their hate at. Then they would turn on each other.
- 13 July 2009 at 16:41
BTW I disagree with your comment that Israel is becoming increasingly religious and messianic. The percentage of religious population still very small.
- 13 July 2009 at 16:53
- SAVANT said...
Israelieedjit - yes, an earlier poser showed that what you;re saying about the green line is correct. As I admitted in that post, I hadn't actually known this. So much for Jewish control of the media!!
Maybe the religious zealots are still a (mercifully) small percentage, but I'd need some convincing to believe that they're not rapidly increasing in both relative and absolute terms.

Judging from the grocery shelves...
...there are brownie mixes -- top shelf -- but I found no comparable shelf of blondie mixes. I don't shop in the biggest grocery, but I expected at least one blondie mix. Again, this isn't scientific, but a gauge of respective popularity of sweets on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
My preference...I like brownies, especially with nuts. Our choice growing up was the Duncan Hines brownie mix and they were good. But I've become less of a chocolate fan in the last few years and now blondies are my choice. I'm even thinking of baking a batch for Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure we'll have pumpkin and apple pies, but I think a batch of blondies would be a good addition to the table.
What's your choice? Is it brownie, blondie or do you like both?
I think today really was the last day of summer and I loved wearing my spring jacket on November 18. Tomorrow it's back to coats and gloves, but I'm happy for today. I'll take every sunny day I can get.

Manchester's burgeoning burger scene will soon be put to the test by a man who is quite the connoisseur on the subject – New Kids on the Block star Donnie Wahlberg.
The singer, actor and producer launched his own gourmet burger chain Wahlburgers in his home city Boston, Massachusetts with his brothers actor Mark and chef Paul. And their growing restaurant empire is the subject of an American reality TV show of the same name.
Donnie, star of the American cop drama Blue Bloods, says he would love to open a Wahlburgers in our fair city.
"I would love to open a Wahlburgers in Manchester. That's a brilliant idea."
And he's keen to sample Manchester's take on an authentic American dining experience when NKOTB arrive in town for their An Intimate Evening With tour on May 30.
The Cover Girl singer said: "I would love to open a Wahlburgers in Manchester. That's a brilliant idea.
"We've got four new restaurants opening in new locations and Wahlburgers the TV show is doing really well."
Trying a burger in Manchester would help to eradicate a less pleasant dining experience for the father of two. The last time the reformed boyband visited the city they tried a Manchester Egg - a pickled egg coated in black pudding and sausage meat.
He added: "Last time we were in Manchester Manchester City and Manchester United were battling for the Premiership. We went to a pub where we ate Manchester eggs and they didn't taste too good."

"Please give me winnable candidates, I don't care whether they are old, new or middle-aged as long as they can win."

Read more: BN wants winnable candidates -- Najib http://www.nst.com.my/articles/BNwantswinnablecandidates--Najib/Article/#ixzz1E2Yx71xu
This was what Najib Razak said on 16 January in Sarawak whereby there should be winnable candidates, not on candidates who are mere locals of an area or so, and doesn't matter if they are young, old or whatsoever. But however, the word "winnable" is not really appropriate, for even if the candidate is winnable, he can have a black spot in the past. For example, PAS accused the BN candidate, eventual winner in Tenang, of making a mistake in the past. Similarly, in Bagan Pinang, Isa Samad, though popular was involved in several abandoned projects in Bagan Pinang as well.
Therefore, the word winnable is not enough. It should be quality candidates who are winnable - in other words, saleable to the people of an area. If you look at the PAS candidate, Normala Sudirman, do you think she's saleable despite an acceptable candidate?
What Najib said above is what I want to question to very two specific men since I remember that Chegubard nearly got to become MP and since Setapak is my second home now, it seems right to think that Dr. Tan could be contesting as MP next round there.
This picture above, taken from the Setapak wet market area, on the particular left shows a PKR Chinese New Year greeting from ex-Gerakan man, Dr. Tan Kee Kwong next to the MCA man Yew Teong Look. On the wet market side is of course the Chinese New Year banner greeting from current MP, Wee Choo Keong. It seems to my inference that when the next General Election comes in, it is definitely, Dr. Tan vs Yew Teong Look (definitely a match go regain what was lost). It would be a three-corner fight if Choo Keong decides to defend the seat, there is a high probability that it ain't so.
In Rembau, Khairy has stated that he's not going to defend his Rembau parliamentary seat. Chegubard nearly won, but claimed that he lost because of last minute rigging with new 5000 votes coming in from nowhere. Looks like should Khairy gets out of the way, Chegubard has a better chance of winning that seat.
There could be at least another 8 to 10 months before a possible snap polls, so my key question to both Dr. Tan and Chegubard is whether they are qualified and winnable candidates that are appealing to their constituencies? Of course let me emphasized that my question comes from Najib's statement last month.
I remembered that it took Tian Chua four years to make himself a much better qualified and winnable candidate that makes him appealing to the Batu constituency (Read: Sentul, Jalan Ipoh, etc..) after his failed attempt in 2004. This too, I believe is what Chegubard is facing as well - maybe because of a bad stroke of luck.
For Dr. Tan and Chegubard
So, gentlemen, are you two qualified and appealing to your respective constituencies?
Have you gauge the latest people reaction towards you?
Have you done your groundwork already and sufficiently?
Why not show your future people of your constituencies that you're appealing to them. Tell them in a forum or something.
The people including myself are keen to know and it's our right anyhow.
Over to you gentlemen.

This post will be about doll hair, and the options you have for your dolls. It will include wig making, and non-traditional re-rooting with different things.
I use shorter feathers at the nape of the neck when I begin, then longer ones over the top. This gives it a fuller look.
You can use this method with other things- like paper, yarn, fabric- even mohair.
And a re-root done with vintage black mohair that I set with end papers, water and rollers made from soda straws:
I have been asked 2 very good questions by readers here.
Do you glue the hair inside the head after you finish?
I only glue on the inside of doll heads that have hair the new owner can brush and style. The mohair I use cannot be messed with- and since it has a rougher texture, it stays in the holes it is poked into- much better than synthetic hair. It usually stays put without issue.
The only exception- when a head has really big holes from the previous root. Some of these dolls have gaping holes after you remove the original hair- those I glue regardless of what kind of hair I have used- unless it is glued on top of the head to begin with- which is a whole other tutorial...
Can you play with the doll after the re-root, or will the hair fall out?
If there is rough play, yes, it will come out. Light play should not effect it staying in. When in doubt- GLUE.

(Shutterstock) View 2 more images (Newser) – Cutting greenhouse-gas emissions will put a dent in the world's bottom line, but the damage could be minimal with the right economic policies, the International Monetary Fund forecasts. A 60% reduction of 2002 emission levels will reduce global growth by 2.6% come 2040, but the world's economy would still double in size, the Wall Street Journal reports. The right international system of carbon credits and taxes would keep business happy, the Journal notes; most important, the IMF says, is setting a global price for emissions in a "long-term and credible" plan that will attract investors. An inexpensive way for companies to cut back on emissions is to help factories in China and India become more energy-efficient. View 2 more images

How will the end of the world arrive? Fire and brimstone? Zombie apocalypse? If you believe the Mayan Long Count calendar, the end will come Dec. 21 of this year. But if you believe the book of Revelation, the exact date and time are unknown. Readers with questions about the end times can turn to the latest book by Bob Hostetler, "How to Survive the End of the World," which explores an ancient apocalyptic vision -- the Revelation of Jesus Christ to the Apostle John -- in a fresh, invigorating way."St. John`s Revelation accurately read has enormous potential for defeating the fear and anxiety that is so prevalent these days,` says Eugene Peterson, Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology, Regent College. "Read this way, everything going on in the world is understood from a center in God`s revelation in Jesus in the presence of worshipping Christians.""How to Survive the End of the World" will be released Nov. 13 by Leafwood Publishers and will be available at all major bookstores.THE BOOKInstead of arcane theories and timelines, "How to Survive the End of the World" approaches the two-thousand-year-old revelation of "the end times" the way it was meant to be received -- as a survivor`s guide: an encouraging and equipping message that will prepare readers for the end . . . whenever it comes. Unlike most approaches to what many consider a confusing and frightening book, "How to Survive the End of the World" will bless, inform, and will make reader`s lives better, fuller, and richer.ABOUT THE AUTHORBob Hostetler is a writer, pastor, and speaker from southwestern Ohio. His twenty-eight books, which include the award-winning Don`t Check Your Brains at the Door (co-authored with Josh McDowell) and American Idols, have sold over 3 million copies. He has won two Gold Medallion Awards, three Ohio Associated Press awards, and an Amy Foundation Award. He is a co-founder of Cobblestone Community Church in Oxford, Ohio.

RPS Feature WELL?

But you, dearest reader, what are you playing?
04/02/2017 at 10:09 Shazbut says:
I picked up the original Colonization yesterday and had to tear myself away from it. It's so good!
04/02/2017 at 13:49 Stugle says:
It's a wonderful game! I introduced my 9-year old daughter a few weeks ago and she loves it! I'm planning on using it as a gateway drug for more turn- based strategy. :)
04/02/2017 at 18:52 Shazbut says:
You could use it as a gateway-drug to a career as a foreign diplomat or professor of postcolonialism. It genuinely makes history fun.
To be honest, I'm also using it to wean myself onto class A substances like Stellaris
06/02/2017 at 22:05 Rainshine says:
Horrible confession: Despite loving it, playing through Civ I-V, CTP I and II, and SMAC, I have never finished/won Colonization.
04/02/2017 at 10:14 astronaute says:
Conan Exiles !
Despite the very rough start, this game is really getting more interesting the more I play it. Also, the devs seems to be mobilized, the game is patched several times already in few days.
Currently discovering the Thrall system (slaves) :)
04/02/2017 at 10:17 Stellar Duck says:
I imagine I shall finish off Blood and Wine and then finally be done with Witcher as a series for good. Can't see myself ever going back. It's taken me 7 months to complete the third one.
Aside from that I imagine I'll either do some Scourge of War and mess about with Antietam or see if anyone might be up for PBEM game of Civil War 2.
04/02/2017 at 19:46 dogwaddle says:
I finished it a couple weeks ago. I liked the world and atmosphere so much I plan on going back to it in ~6 months to do new game plus. I do wish there was less of the Ubisoft style busy work(monster nests & bandit camps) and more vignettes. What was your favorite story from B&W? I really liked the Banker quest and the talking horse one.
05/02/2017 at 12:42 Stellar Duck says:
Bearing in mind that I've not actually managed to play it at all (weekend went pearshaped) I think my favourite moment was Geralt in the bank, trying to get the forms and what not. There was something very amusing about this huge, trained killer, bristling with weapons and force, being forced to just hang about and wait for a bureaucracy. It felt a bit like a glimpse into a future where witchers are a relic of the past and no longer has a place.
04/02/2017 at 10:18 someoneelse84 says:
I will be dying against Prince Lorian and Prince Lothric over and over again and then I will play Bash My Head Against Something Hard and Spiky.
04/02/2017 at 10:25 dangermouse76 says:
Fallout 4 spoilers:
Final run through of Fallout 4 this time going with the institute.
Just finished up the Brotherhood of Steel. Which was hilarious as I took Nick with me most of the time and they didn't bat an eyelid.I really hope story crossover has a bit more effort put into it next time. They should have shot Nick on site really.
Then it's off to Mass Effect 3 to see what that has to offer.
04/02/2017 at 13:25 Penguinho says:
Do make sure that you have at least the Citadel DLC. It makes everything so much better.
04/02/2017 at 13:52 dangermouse76 says:
Noted, will do.
04/02/2017 at 13:35 Iamblichos says:
Same here. I keep falling back into Fallout 4… it has become my "meh, nothing else exciting out right now" game. I wanted to buy Conan Exiles just from the ridiculous reviews to see the constantly flapping e-peens for myself, but the reviews also make it sound beyond broken, so perhaps I'll hold off until the game mechanics are fixed.
04/02/2017 at 13:54 dangermouse76 says:
Truly a golden age of gaming "dong sliders."
I actually dont anything about this game.
04/02/2017 at 10:32 Herzog says:
Playing the upgrade your pc hardware game! New case, psu and gpu needed.
Also will try to get into NEO Scavenger finally.
04/02/2017 at 10:44 Captain Narol says:
Birthright + Crusader Kings = ?
Answer : Sovereignty Crown of Kings !
Edited by Slitherine, made by The Lordz (Panzer Corps, Warhammer 40000 : Armaggedon) and just released on Steam this week. Can't wait to dive in and conquer this fantasy world full of lore !
And for some relaxing online brawling with cards and minis :
Warbands Bushido, Magic Duels and Smite Tactics.
04/02/2017 at 10:44 Ghostwise says:
Still plodding through Fallout 2 like a man with a bum leg wearing power armour. Mostly because I'm taking a jillion notes.
But stuff like the article about weapons in old Fallout games is getting good.
04/02/2017 at 11:18 gabrielonuris says:
Ghost Recon Future Soldier this time. Didn't got an invite to the beta, and too poor at the moment to buy at launch, so instead of Wildlands, Future Soldier.
My God, I never thought that game could be so juicy. It reminds me of the first time I played a Splinter Cell game and got all excited by the miriad of gadgets and ways to accomplish a mission, let it be stealthly or action-y!
It's unbelievable how Ubisoft made a good work coding the AI of team mates on SP campaign, and a shame that now the Tom Clancy franchise is just a bunch of online shooters. Ooh, we'll never get another proper done SP Tom Clancy title ever again, will we?!
04/02/2017 at 11:50 Syrion says:
I've been giving Rainbow Six Siege a shot. It's really good fun, incredibly well thought out, oozes polish. Great performance, too. But, it's quite a bit intimidating trying to get into a multiplayer game with a steep learning curve at first (Played the first 3 hours only singleplayer), and a bit uncomfortable afterwards being mixed with long time playing "pros" and lots of "noobs" like oneself. Great game, I'm sure, but probably not for me in my current situation.
05/02/2017 at 11:31 Agnosticus says:
Yeah, this is a big problem with games that have such a high skill cealing! After around a year after release, they are very hard to get into, especially if it's not recommended to solo queue!
I'd recommend only playing ranked when you hit lvl 20, then it gets much better.
I nearly felt sorry for "spawn killing" (it's not real sk) the greenhorns, but I just couldn't resist, it's part of the game ;) and an important strat at that!
04/02/2017 at 11:57 Vandelay says:
Last week I mentioned that I had installed Crusader Kings 2 on a random whim, after having bounced off it a couple of times. I only managed to get a few plays of it in over the course of the week, but I think I am starting to see the light.
I was playing as William the Conqueror. I nearly crashed and burned early on with some English assaults on France, but somehow managed to scrape by and managed to recover a bit. Unfortunately, once I tried to actually invade England my army just wasn't strong enough to maintain hold of it. Those early battles also gave a big dent to my warscore and the mountain was just too high to climb (one battle gave me a -50%!)
So, I'm looking to start again as someone else. Any recommendations?
Will also continue giving Rainbow Six Siege's free weekend a play. I'm enjoying it, but not a fan at all of the unlock system at the moment. I'm still playing operations to try and get enough of the ingame currency to unlock the recommended 3 attackers, 3 defenders before entering a multiplayer game. At least I am enjoying the operations mode, but it does feel wrong to be playing a multiplayer game in singleplayer mode so much. I can understand some gating to make sure players understand the game concepts before dropping them in with other people, but this feels a bit excessive.
04/02/2017 at 12:32 MiniMatt says:
First important to say that losing a battle, a war, or a hundred years of progress, is not the end of a CK2 playthrough – there is huge value in taking the hits & rolling with them.
Last I played was some time ago now & patches change things, but the old advice was always to go with somewhere quieter for your first play – typically one of the Ireland counts. Concentrate on unifying Ireland first, try to keep out of the way of England, then perhaps expand one way or another into Scotland/Wales.
04/02/2017 at 13:27 Penguinho says:
Ireland used to be the place to start but I don't think it is anymore, at least not at the earliest start date. The various pagan types pose a threat that never existed for Irish counts and dukes in older versions.
05/02/2017 at 10:44 Captain Narol says:
Contrary to the usual recommandations, I would rather recommand to start as the king/emperor of a strong kingdom, Byzantine Empire or Holy Roman Empire for example, as it will make conquests easier and you will have more interesting things to do.
You will also probably have to face more revolts and hostile plots but that's the salt of the game !
As someone said before, don't give up if you lose a war, rebuilding your power is part of the game and you'll learn a lot during the process.
The purpose of the game is to build a dinasty and a network of alliances, you miss a good part of it if you stop to play early and don't see the fruits of the seeds you have planted.
04/02/2017 at 12:11 Faldrath says:
"Big, lavish ARPG"? Tried Path of Exile yet, John? Best one out there by some margin, really.
I'll be playing that, and the other PoE (Pillars of Eternity) while I wait for the new Torment. Oh, and Pathfinder Adventures on my phone. That's one brilliant game, there. Brilliant.
04/02/2017 at 12:40 Lars Westergren says:
Nice, someone else who has heard of Pathfinder Adventures. Yes it's very good. Attention people who want real games on mobiles or like boardgames and cardgames: you should try Pathfinder Adventures. You *can* microtransaction it forever, but the economic choice is to try the free first adventure, and if you like it buy the complete game for about the same price as a Steam game.
Me, I'm playing RE 7. It's good.
04/02/2017 at 12:16 Chorltonwheelie says:
I bagged Battlefield Hardline for under four quid and I'm having a fine old time with it. Yeah, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Whoop, whoop that's the sound of the police!
04/02/2017 at 12:38 jalf says:
I fell into a Sunless Sea-shaped hole again last night, so that's my weekend gone.
And John, if it helps:
Don't trade or fight. Trading is generally not profitable, unless you know of a few very specific routes. And combat just plain sucks. So just explore, and make your money from exploration and delivering port reports. And don't think in videogame terms of "I'd better hug the coast and stick to the area nearest London until I've got a few upgrades". Stock up on fuel and food and strike out into the unknown. You can traverse the entire map in the starting ship, so throw yourself into the unknown and see what you find.
(And personal preference: I've found it's much easier to stay immersed in the game if I don't have other music or podcasts playing, and just let the game's own soundtrack provide the ambience during the long zee journeys)
04/02/2017 at 14:03 Stugle says:
I only really enjoyed Sunless Sea once I swallowed my pride and cheated. Simply gave myself a huge wad of cash (a few million maybe?) and that made all the difference. I still had to watch fuel and supply levels, I still feared combat with nearly anything, and I still had to traipse back and forth to get the right artifact/resource/thingamajig to push forward in the various story threads, but at least it allowed me to always buy enough coal to be able to continue sailing. I realize I'm missing out on some of the more dramatic life-or-death-or-madness options, but that's a price I'm willing to pay to actually play the game and enjoy it. :)
04/02/2017 at 14:29 jalf says:
First of all, as long as you're enjoying the game, that's the main thing, pride or no. :)
But I also think that's actually less cheating than you realize. Once you get the hang of it, you can easily make enough money to cover your costs just by sailing around and gathering port reports anyway. Shortage of money really isn't a major part of the game IMO.
I think when people struggle for money in the game it's often because they try to play the game in a way it doesn't reward. For example, trying to make money by trading, or playing too cautiously and sticking close to London. If you just try to visit as many ports as possible with each trip, you'll usually make a tidy profit.
So since money isn't that hard to come by anyway, I don't actually think you're losing anything important by giving yourself infinite money. :)
06/02/2017 at 19:02 cardboardcity says:
Maybe RPS should do (or maybe has done) an article on the ethics and payoff of cheating in games. There are some, Football Manager comes to mind, where it's warranted for me. If I invest a lot of time building a team (character, whatever) I'm not that thrilled to lose it all because the computer makes a 1 in a million die roll and permadeaths my butt.
04/02/2017 at 12:40 Mi-24 says:
first I will be playing "get rid of this bloody hangover so I can play some games" followed by maybe some Hitman or dishonoured
04/02/2017 at 12:51 DEspresso says:
To add to the other Fallout guys, I finally finished New Vegas =)
Yay! LW2 here I come
05/02/2017 at 09:57 Don Reba says:
Impressive! Well done!
04/02/2017 at 13:08 heretic says:
Get better soon Alice! There are some skullfaces to put daggers through.
04/02/2017 at 13:37 NetharSpinos says:
I shall be playing Buggery My Leg Hurts: The Game! It mostly involves writhing in pain and listening to the horrified whimperings slippling involuntarily out of my pie-hole.
Also Atlas Reactor. Still shuffling through Total Warhammer with the Wood Elves (good, but so squishy). Received Rimworld recently, but I'm drawn towards Pit People, and only stopped by Early Access and the apparent leaning towards co-op.
04/02/2017 at 13:48 Kitsunin says:
Of all things, Rance VI. The most disgusting series (that isn't terrible) I can think of, but somehow, almost charmingly so (if you skim the sex scenes and don't think too much). Sengoku Rance was one of the best Strategy RPGs of all time, and VI seems to be doing the same thing with JRPG. If it weren't filled with rape and the like, I'd heartily recommend it…
04/02/2017 at 14:25 Sorbicol says:
The Long War 2. Why do I punish myself so? why?!
05/02/2017 at 11:30 Captain Narol says:
Because you take pleasure from it. Stop thinking and enjoy !
05/02/2017 at 11:38 Pravin Lal's Nuclear Arsenal says:
(but don't forget the safe word! We don't want anyone actually getting hurt, do we?)
04/02/2017 at 15:41 Viral Frog says:
I'm going to get my boys for the weekend when I'm off of work today, so I'll most likely be playing chef, maid, and diplomat. Also, a lot of Minecraft because my eldest son always wants me to sit and take turns with him. I'll probably also be involved in some LEGO Marvel Superheroes with him as well. Probably nothing other than that, because I also have to do overtime work from home.
04/02/2017 at 16:31 Ben King says:
I'm housesitting away from my PC so I'm drawing a battle map for my next D&D session. But if I was home I would be playing DUSKERS… Just a few hours under my belt and I've decided that all of this talk of duskers being the best Alien game is baloney. Alien never felt like a movie about solving puzzles to traverse dungeons, but sneaking hiding death and occasional bravery. I'm really enjoying figuring out all of the uses for tools and drone mods, but feel pretty crippled if I'm ever without a motion detector. It's not tense or scary, but I'm loving solving the puzzles each new ship and set of mods presents. And dying a lot. My last run was a tpk with a crippled drone actually blocking the A1 doors from closing after biting the dust at the hands of… Something which was freely roaming around the drone bay while my video inputs sputtered feebly.
04/02/2017 at 16:47 malkav11 says:
You know what's a big lavish wonderful ARPG that you keep ignoring because it was a bit rubbish over three years ago, John? Marvel Heroes. You really, really ought to give it another go.
Meanwhile, having polished off Pillars of Eternity, both the DLC and the main game, I will be working on the Trespasser DLC for Dragon Age Inquisition, having completed the main game of that as well.
I am kind of hoping I can finish it off this weekend so that I can solidly add two big ol' proper RPGs to the completed list with only two Shadowruns, The Witcher 3, Divinity II, Divinity Original Sin, Serpent in the Staglands, a bunch of Avernums and Geneforges and two Avadons, Age of Decadence (and its multiple playthroughs), Banner Saga 1 and 2, Dead State, Driftmoon, Skyrim, various Fallouts, FFXIII and XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, Kingdoms of Amalur, NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer (and maybe Storm of Zehir), the Risen games, Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms, the later 3 Sorcery! games, Sunless Sea, Telepath Tactics, Tyranny, Underrail, and Wasteland 2 to go… (and that's just the RPGs and I've skipped some that aren't installed!). With Torment: Tides of Numenera coming out later this month.
06/02/2017 at 22:20 Rainshine says:
Someone else played Spiderweb Software!
04/02/2017 at 17:00 Cyrus says:
XCOM 2 after picking it up a few weeks back in the humble bundle, feels like I'm getting somewhere. And naturally, towards the end.
My plan for the future is to tackle the beast that is Witcher 3, which means I should play the prequels before it once more..
My latest savedgame for Witcher 1 is from 2010! Damn. Back when I was unemployed and played through almost all old games I had.
04/02/2017 at 17:06 kud13 says:
I finally started Bioshock Infinite. So I'll probably be playing more of that.
04/02/2017 at 18:02 cvaldivia93 says:
Has anyone played Quern? I saw it on Steam a few weeks ago. Looks like it's been out a few months. Sorta like Myst / Obduction. Having just finished The Witness, I'm in a mood for another island puzzler. I've not see a review of it here on RPS, so figured I'd ask y'all.
04/02/2017 at 18:35 fish99 says:
Conan Exiles for me, single player. It's honestly pretty good as a solo experience, in the exact way that Ark Survival Evolved was.
I'd like to see a game that mixed that kinda survival/crafting/building experience with the NPCs/questing/story from a traditional RPG, so half ARK/Conan and half Skyrim. Or to put it another way, Skyrim with a good base building system, survival elements and some genuine danger in the environments.
04/02/2017 at 18:47 Nucleus says:
Trying to finally finish Far Cry 2. Never played a game that hates the player so much.
05/02/2017 at 21:24 fish99 says:
I haven't played Far Cry 2, but your comment reminds me of the story missions in Far Cry 3. It was like they found all the worst FPS levels and mechanics in history and made a game from them (in contrast to the open world rest of the game, which was fun).
They had insta-fail stealth, turret sections, timed missions, escort missions, escape from burning buildings, on-rail chase sections etc. It kinda soured an otherwise excellent game.
04/02/2017 at 19:59 dogwaddle says:
In the late stages of my Subeians campaign for total war Attila. I have just about all the requirements for a cultural victory. I shot myself in the foot by not paying enough attention to the religion objective and now I will probably have to slog a bit past year 450 to satisfy that objective.
04/02/2017 at 22:50 Don Reba says:
Finishing Deus Ex: Invisible War. Actually, it's not a bad at all. I had fun with Human Revolution, but Invisible War is the Deus Ex sequel I wanted. I haven't played it earlier because my graphics card was not good enough at the time it came out, and later because people (largely) undeservedly bashed it ever since.
05/02/2017 at 05:31 Don Reba says:
It should be said the game is dummed down too much in one essential aspect — all of the bathrooms are unisex. :(
05/02/2017 at 08:22 particlese says:
It should also be said that a bathroom is involved in the secret ending.
06/02/2017 at 00:34 Don Reba says:
By flaming penguins, you're right!
04/02/2017 at 23:24 pertusaria says:
I played the first DLC of Monument Valley last night, which was pretty good. I'm not bowled over by the central game mechanic, which is mainly rotating rooms until you get a perspective where two bits of floor meet to form a pathway kind of puzzles, but some of the water-related levels in the DLC were neat. I'm also a huge fan of the sidekick character and how much emotional connection the devs build up through your experiences together in the game, combined with a little bit of expression on a very blocky, inexpressive-seeming character.
Other than that, if I get time tomorrow to finish Firewatch, I'll be a happy bunny.

Just finished Alien Isolation – amazing game! Some of the best graphics and atmosphere I've ever seen. Its graphics still supersede most new releases which is quite an achievement for a game 2.5 years old. I'm flabbergasted why this game didn't have better sales and more critical praise. I know that it has it's downsides (a bit too long, probably too many Seegson simple Joes) but its achievements in story, atmosphere, lighting, graphics, art, weapon design, AI etc. are phenomenal.
I also just bought the new Deus Ex currently 70% off on Steam but haven't played more than the first few minutes (was testing performance and graphical settings). The game seems almost TOO responsive and fluid and the graphics and assets aren't as top notch as I thought they'd be for 2016 but maybe this is a symptom from my post Alien Isolation come-down (ah what a great game…).

It's a variety pack for me this weekend:
-trying to one-up my new personal best in Devil Daggers (336s)
-PVP rampage in Elder Scrolls Online (initially for variety, but having great fun despite not being very talented or practiced at it)
-VR room escape game Abode (excellent so far)
-Skyrim (working on Dragonborn expansion)
-VR tourism thing Destinations (plus Blender and Hammer for content creation)
-token non-game: doing the bookwork part of learning German, for once (ja!)

I was playing and enjoying obduction but was annoyed by the garage number puzzle. So back to bloodborne for the second of three runs to get my first ever platinum! Still amazes me how beautiful the background objects in souls games are. Spent ten minutes admiring the relief on a gigantic half buried bell in Ashes of ariandel Especially in areas that I (and others I presume) completely missed in playthrough 1.

The war crime/minute counter is honestly getting to me. It's a bit like Space Pirates&Zombies in that way, where a cool retro-throwback arcadey space combat sim is backed up by gruesome slavery. It's all supposed to fit together into a darkly humorous and decidedly shlocky fictional reality, but I honestly have to wonder why? I mean, it certainly avoids the "cognitive dissonance" (read: hypocrisy) associated with such games by simply making you a villain, but boy does it leave an aftertaste.
It's a bit like Syndicate, which was so fucking evil that it felt wrong to play even though by that point I've played every GTA up until Vice City.

I just started playing Witcher 3 and it is bloody brilliant!
I've just completed the Bloody Baron's quest line and it astounded me that they managed to make me feel sympathy for such a vile human being. Astonishingly well written and well (voice)acted quests.

Those last two sentences are just lovely Pip.
With a work roster change, weekends are actually weekends again. Huzzah! Been playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door – my last unfinished Gamecube game – and on the PC front the first act of Kentucky Route Zero as inspired by Alec's Have You Played a while back. Going to pour a bourbon right now:)

I went larping for the first time in over 7 years.
Now i'm resting my sore body by browsing social medias, chatting with friends and playing some games or another. Probably modded Fallout 4 or Conan Exiles.
