Sexier Than Silk: The Irresistible Allure of the Nylon Slip
Source: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/arti...he-nylon-slip/
When Im in a vintage shop or thrift store digging through racks and racks of clothing, a slip will always stop me. First, I feel the smooth texture of the nylon, and then I pause to gawk at the detailing and the lace. I remember that I could actually wear something prettier than sweats to sleep. While vintage bras and panties can seem too intimate to even consider reusing, a slip does not. If it is opaque enough, all Id have to do is add the right accessories, and it becomes the perfect dress.
The anonymous writer who goes by A Slip of a Girl shares this fascination. On her namesake blog, she explores the history and culture of collectible, vintage, and retro lingerie of all stripes, but slips have a special place in her heart. Speaking with me on the phone, she revealed what shes learned about the history of this undergarment.
Collectors Weekly: How did you get into blogging about lingerie?

A Slip of a Girl: Ive always had a strong interest in lingerie from the feminist point of view, when it comes to reconciling the desire to feel pretty with the concern that fashion is a way of controlling women. And lingerie, which is slightly different from just underwear, is some of the most sensual fashion out there. The pieces enhance your figure, and they delicately hide and tease your playful bits. If you look at nightgowns from the 40s, or even as early as the 20s, you see theyre sheer in places and pintucked, pleated, or embroidered. They were not meant simply to clothe our bodies at nighttime; they were meant to be seen.
Collectors Weekly: Why are slips so appealing?

A Slip of a Girl: Its a combination of modesty, because there are people who do not like the sloppy way we dress now with everything showing, and also admitting that its okay to like femininity for itself. A slip is something you can put on underneath a socially acceptable suit for the woman trying to get taken seriously in the male-driven business world. That woman can put the slip on and have the sisters are doing it for themselves moment. Its like, Im dressed like a man, but underneath, I know Im not.
Theres also the romance of the past, where we always think the past was dreamier and sweeter than the time were living in now. For some people, vintage slips are purely a romantic thing, and they know that men are responding to it. A lot of men prefer the tease of seeing what they think theyre not supposed to see, like a slip hem. Its much more come hither and sweet than in-your-face.
Collectors Weekly: How did the slip get its start? Im assuming it was after the time of corsets and petticoats.

Slip of a Girl: Really, they are a descendant of the chemise and other pieces that went over and under the corset, which was quite expensive. A woman might have one corset, and not really be able to wash it. So there were layers worn beneath corsets and over the corset. Your sweat and body oils would go onto those undergarments, and the corset would stay clean.
When new polymers like plastics and elastics were introduced in the post-World War II era, the girdle replaced the corset. Around the same time, Dior introduced his New Look with the emphasis on feminine, hourglass curves. New technology also brought ease of laundering and mass production of clothing, as opposed to buying couture or making it yourself. Then, girdles were much more affordable compared to a corset, and there was less need to put anything underneath. Girdles were in direct contact with the skin, and a slip went over.
Collectors Weekly: So women actually wore slips and girdles at the same time?

A Slip of a Girl: Yeah. The girdles themselves had some things like garters and boning or zippers, which might detract from an outfit in terms of lines. If youve ever worn modern shapewear, you know that there is quite often a bulge above where the shapewear starts and at your leg where it ends. Slips helped disguise that phenomenon. If you were wearing something sheer, you would have the built-together camisole and half-slip that would cover up whatever lingerie you were wearing beneath your clothes. If you had a navy bra and a black corselette girdle, then you could still wear a black slip over both and there wouldnt be this different color coming underneath your outerwear. So the slip served the practical purpose of smoothing and hiding lines.
But it also became a part of daywear sensuality. There were ways of displaying without displaying, like your slips lacy hem peeping out from underneath your skirt. Your girdle might be unattractive as sin and do a great job, but your slip could be ultra-feminine and embroidered with crystal pleating and lace, and that would feel fabulous. While we now consider them this feminine layer that we dont need because weve got lining sewn into suit skirts, slips did actual work before this. I sometimes equate slips to nurses scrubs. It sounds really incongruous, but they did lots of shifts.
Quite often slips were worn as a nightgown. They were worn as lounging attire. When you were shopping, fitting clerks brought you things, whether it was a suit or a bra, so you would be in a semi-public place, dressing and undressing. The slip was a modest layer youd be wearing when you opened the door. At home, a lady might get out of her two-piece lovely New Look fashion ensemble to scrub the floor. What do you think she was wearing? Vintage-fashion discussions tend to focus on the shirt-dress as housekeeping wear. But if you were in your own home, it made as much sense to strip down to your slip and do your chores.
Collectors Weekly: Did they have slips in the 20s?

A Slip of a Girl: Yes, it was also called a chemise. Obviously, it wouldnt have been as fitted as the slip; it was more of a tube shape. Some that survived are incredibly decorative, sheer, and lacyeven beaded. They went beneath lacy and beaded things. A lot of the dresses then were also sheer, and so the chemise or the slip underneath was a way to allude to nudity without being arrested.
The reason we have so many of those lovely pieces left is because they were truly special-occasion items to be worn with a specific dress or when the lady of the house felt she deserved to wear it. We find many of them still wrapped in the original boxes and tissue paper because a bride might get a beautiful chemise or slip and then maybe put it away for a special day. And she never felt she was worthy of it. It breaks my heart, but thats the perfect-condition stuff we have today.
If you do find simpler and older slips, you will notice repair work where the shoulder straps have been re-stitched several times to the top of the bodice. Youll notice the hems have been taken up and down as fashion slightly changed or because if you had to hike up the strap an inch, then you would lengthen the hem an inch. So you will notice the plainer ones have a lot of little reworkings on them.
Collectors Weekly: When was the transition from what you would call a chemise to what you would call a slip?

A Slip of a Girl: The Golden Age of the Slip starts in the 1940s with the introduction of New Look fashions and the invention of nylon. That runs from 1947 to 1963, when we started getting into Mod, which was going back to the flapper shape again. During those golden years, thats when you see the most outrageous things done on little pieces of nylon, and the slips really move from their protective role. When you have a slip thats made of chiffon, its clearly not hiding. Its clearly not trying to blend any mismatched lingerie or hide any other straps. With the New Look you had lots of layers and the big, floofy skirts with the petticoats. So slips really became more of a fun thing of femininity.
Collectors Weekly: What were the most popular fabrics of the Golden Age?
Some vintage connoisseurs frown on custom-dying old lingerie, like this Barbara Lee slip dyed purple, but it can save them from the landfill. Via aslipofagirl.net.
A Slip of a Girl: Nylon was the best. Nylon was created by DuPont just before the war, and nylon stockings became a sensation when they were introduced in the United States in 1940. World War II prevented American companies from importing silk from Asia for stockings, but women liked the nylon better. If youve ever had silk, you know that it breaks down. You have to be far more careful in how you handle it in the laundering process. Whereas with nylon, yes, you can get ladders or runs, but it is far more resilient. Also, it clings to you because it has a stretch quality that silk doesnt really have. Silk will turn on your leg. You have to adjust the seams all the time.
But as the war progressed, nylon was needed for ropes, parachutes, and other military equipment, so factories couldnt make stockings. And there was a huge black market in nylon stockings. Murders occurred over stockings; stampedes happened at stores that were supposed to get some in. Thats why you didnt really see nylon used in other garments until after the war.

Im a huge fan of nylon for slips and nighties and other lingerie. I prefer it to silk. If youve ever had nylon embrace your bustline and fall like water down your hips and your legs to swing around you, theres nothing else that compares to it, not polyester, not acetate. Silk doesnt hug you. It doesnt move the same way. Nylon doesnt require the same sort of ultimate, delicate washing that silk does. Silk, if it dries, it shreds. You can make nylon as sheer as you want, and its no more likely to run than if it was opaque. You didnt have a thousand slips unless you were wealthy. Something like nylon that was going to stay beautiful and not have to be so fussily taken care of, it was a marvel. Nylon can be produced in an array of colors. You could pleat it and pin-tuck it and add lace to it. It also doesnt stain.
Collectors Weekly: In the 40s when they were first making slips, what colors and embellishments would you see?

A Slip of a Girl: You would see a lot of white, beige, navy, and black, and quite a few chocolate brown, which I suspect were sold as nude lingerie to the African American market. But the slip evolved pretty quickly, from a functional garment to a means for expressing femininity in a wide range of colors and styles.
You have to keep in mind that now we see the advertisements and catalogs, which, of course, are going to push the fancier lingerie of your dreams. If you look in the misses, or young womens, and the childrens sections of the catalog for slips and chemises, you would see some of the most plain ones there. My guess is that those were also available in womens sizes in the stores, but the advertisements didnt push those. When women wore one out, they knew where to go get another one. So for the women of marriage age, the department stores promoted the slips that were the most embellished, almost on a Fredericks of Hollywood level. And Fredericks lingerie at that time was gorgeous and modest but highly decorated.
There were pintucks for shaping. There was ruching, which is that bubbly look, inset lace, appliques, and crystal pleating, which is that severely pleated chiffon that actually maintains its shape. Youd see layers of this pleating. You might have a ruched inset lace and pintucks toward the bottom, followed by more lace and crystal pleating and another layer of lace at the bottom. It was just ridiculous. Slips had satin bows, rosettesanything you can think of that was all feminine and frilly, they did it.
Collectors Weekly: What are some of your favorite slip designers and brands?

A Slip of a Girl: Vanity Fair always comes up because they made glorious stuff for so many years, and they were good at participating in trends in a way that didnt eclipse the piece. So when the 60s came in and leopard print was popular, they adopted the leopard print but designed the slips in the more classic style, so they would appeal to both audiences. Youd have a younger consumer whos all about the animal print and then an older consumer who would say, This is Vanity Fair; look at how well its made. The company survived for so long keeping quality and tasteful modesty in mindwhile keeping up with the trends and concerns of younger fashion shoppers.
I like to find designers Ive never heard of and try to bring them out to peoples attention. Often, I will see a listing for a gorgeous slip, and I wonder why it sells for $9.99. The reason is no ones searching for that. People are looking for Vanity Fair because its a known name. Same with Ralph Montenero. A lot of what survived is more of his later stuff from the 70s, but its still very nice quality.

Ive become really smitten with Renée of Hollywood and its Jezebel line. Van Raatle is another favorite because they did hems like they were the only reason to make the slip! When a slip has four inches of lace, followed by four inches of crystal pleating, it really gets me going. And then therell be ribbons and satin rosettes on there and youre like, Oh. My. God! The rest of the piece is nice. It fits well, and its pretty in the bodice, but when you look at the hem, its clear they were in the hem business.
Collectors Weekly: Where do you find your vintage slips?
A Slip of a Girl: Ive always had good luck at thrift stores because people wont realize what their slip is when theyre donating it. Theyre putting out grandmas closet, and there are 13 beige pieces on hangers. To them, they all look the same. But even if it doesnt have the tag card, I can tell which ones are older from the way the seams are finished, and I can tell from the weight. I can just run my fingers on them and go, Thats poly, thats acetate, thats a nylon blend. Im all about how it should feel because I know how itll hang. But to the average person, its just underwear, and they ship it off to the thrift store.

Collectors Weekly: How do you know if youve found a great vintage slip?
A Slip of a Girl: Labels are the best way, but often labels were cut out because they irritated the skin, or theyre so wash-faded you cant read them. If the label is a plastic-y paper, you know its new. If its cloth, you know its older. I dont collect so much in that way. Im more tactile, so if it feels lovely to me and I squeal when I hold it up, thats pretty much what I want. I can tell the era simply by what Im attracted to.

When theres no label, I have to rely on my sense of touch. Nylon has a fluidity to ita draping and a shellac, if you willthat silk doesnt have. It usually is lighter than what we think of as satin. Even though a satin piece may be thinner, it has a heft to it. Nylon will feel looser and lighter, especially if its more toward the chiffon see-through texture. It generally feels cool to your fingers. Im trying to think of what I unconsciously do. I dont think about it.
With nylon, theres a slickness on both sides of the fabric. Your satins and silks wont have that; theyll be shiny on one side and then more textured on the backside. Theres usually a little bit of give to the nylon. So if you hold it in your hands, you can feel that stretch as opposed to something like silk that wont really give. What I encourage people to do is just touch as many pieces as they can and look at the tags. And after a while, it becomes an unconscious thing.
Collectors Weekly: What do you have to watch out for when buying?
This vintage black silk slip has a full-lace bust, an under-bust tie, and eight inches of lace at the hem. Via aslipofagirl.net.
A Slip of a Girl: When you buy online, check to see if the garment has been pinned to the mannequinand even ask about it. Because its easy to get real excited looking at the photos and miss the real measurements. You might think the person has only posted the bust and the hips, but not the waist measurement. Then, you get it and realize there is no nipped waist on the garment.
One of the things I often find, especially in the big layers and layers of chiffon, like you see in baby-doll-style slips and peignoirs (the big, long nighties) by Lucie Ann, is a cigarette hole. When there are so many yards of materials, even good sellers may occasionally miss it. The best thing to do is literally spend the time to run your fingers over your slip, because your fingers will feel the crusty burn marks of the melted nylon before your eyes might see it. Thats a big thing to do when youre in a store, too.
Collectors Weekly: What can you tell from looking at the label?
The label of this vintage nylon slip by Marfield, a brand of Marshall Fields, reveals it pre-dates most FTC label requirements. Via aslipofagirl.net.
A Slip of a Girl: You can tell whether theres a registered identification (RN) number (first used in 1959) or its predecessor Wool Products Label (WPL). The U.S. government started requiring fabric content percentages on garments in 1960 and care instructions in 1971; pieces marked union or Made in the U.S.A stopped appearing around the 1970s. I dont need to use the labels, but a beginner who is trying to verify, especially online, if that piece is authentically from the 50s, then theyll want to know those things. [See her guide to dating a piece here.]
There was a resurgence in camis and half-slips in the 80s. Most of those labels are not going to be true cloth. A lot of these pieces were done in silk because it was supposed to be old-timey. Sometimes people will think, Oh, because its silk and a camisole, it must be Victorian. Victorian things, generally speaking, dont have labels because they were handmade, or the labels were considered a distraction from the business at hand. Or the label would be sewn completely into the fabric, or it might be embroidered on the piece with the persons name.
Collectors Weekly: If a slip label says its union made or made in the United States, is it probably an older piece?

A Slip of a Girl: Once you start getting into U.S. brands of the 70s, the Made in U.S.A. and union labels wither away. By the 80s youll find a stray piece, but most clothing was manufactured overseas at that point. Again, some companies will use Made in the U.S.A. today because its assembled here or finished here. We dont have any huge milling textile companies that produce clothing in the U.S. anymore.
But quality was declining before then. By the end of the 60s, adornments were being phased out, and you see more slips with simple lace trim. You also see the mass merchandising of small, medium, and larges, as well as adjustable hems. Instead of making a 32 with a longer hem for a tall woman and a 32 with a shorter hem for a short woman, they just made a 32 that you could cut off three or four rows of lace at the bottom according to your height. True connoisseurs hate those because they symbolize cheapness and the decline of gorgeousness.
Collectors Weekly: The 60s was also when you saw camisoles and half-slips?
This two-tone vintage full slip was meant to be worn with a suit, where the blouse would be a light color and the skirt would be dark. Via a slipofagirl.net.
A Slip of a Girl: Right. Mary Quant and Liz Claiborne were pushing the separates. And thats pretty much how we all dress today. At first, lingerie manufacturers responded to the blouse-and-skirt combination by producing slips in two tones, with a light color on top and dark on the bottom. But when pants became a part of the separates, they moved to camisoles and half-slips. Why would you buy a full slip and cut it off for the top portion?
Collectors Weekly: When was the first time you really started seeing full slips as outerwear?
A Slip of a Girl: There were probably some people doing it in the 60s, what with the peek-a-boo naughty 60s fashion of the time. But really, it took off in the 80s, when Madonna and Cyndi Lauper made wearing lingerie as outerwear mainstream. I know my friends and I, we were in our 20s, and we emulated them to a certain extent. In fact, thats how I got into buying vintage lingerie.
Madonna famously wore a black slip in her 1989 video for Like a Prayer.
But what people forget about the 80s is that the whole Laura Ashley movement of conservatism was going on at the same time. You see a resurgence of slips and camisoles to go with that look, but again you wouldnt see them out and about. When you bought your floral Laura Ashley cotton-print dress or piece from Jessica McClintocks Gunne Sax line, there was accoutrement to go beneath that. That was a big thing. In response to the big shoulder pads and power dressing, the conservative woman was expected to be ultra-feminine in a retro way, with prairie fashion and cotton petticoats.
Then in the 90s, regular girls, and not just someone being as campy as Madonna or Cyndi Lauper, would wear a full slip as a dress. The style was sleeker, so it was a simple, little dress, perhaps with a little bit of lace.
Collectors Weekly: In terms of body image, do you find that slips look good on a lot of different kinds of women?

A Slip of a Girl: Heavens, yes. And they feel good. We all have the issues with bras that pinch, and we cant wait to get home. And there are endless experts on how to get the right bra fit, but I can tell you even when I have a properly fitting bra, Im tired at the end of the day and I want to take it off. But I always want to put on a slip, theyre so comfortable.
And unlike yoga pants or sweatpants or other sorts of lounge attire that either stick to me everywhere or make me seem shapeless, slips provide modesty and yet its clear youre a woman. Whether youre thin or extremely apple-shaped and round, you feel like a person as opposed to a blob. Physically, theres a sensuality to how a slip hugs you in certain places and loose in others. The way that it tickles your legs when you walk, it feels good. And looking down on a piece of lace is way more interesting than always seeing some embroidered corporate logo or tramp stamp saying inked on a pair of lounge pants.

AoS 2 - Beasts of Chaos Discussion
Gaz Taylor posted a topic in ChaosHere is the new thread for discussing Beasts of Chaos. With the imminent release of AoS 2 (and a lot of the info already being out there), now is the time for us to start afresh on TGA. Moving forward, this will be the main thread to chat about and discuss Beasts of Chaos in the new edition. I still wholly encourage people to keep their own threads/army blogs within this sub forum and I also think those are a great place to share some photos as I know not everyone frequents the Painting & Modelling section. But this thread is purely for discussion around the faction, things such as (but not limited to) tactics and list building etc. You all know the drill, we've been doing it on this forum since inception! Really excited to see what we can come up with as a community and I look forward to reading all your ideas and thoughts. EDIT With New Beasts of Chaos Battletome coming out, I've renamed this topic from Brayherds and Warherds Discussion to Beasts of Chaos
So i've edited this from a purely Wolves of Ghur PLOG (although i strayed from that quite early on) into a PLOG for all of my various AOS armies and related projects past and present and I want to keep this first post as contents section with links to the various armies: Wolves of Ghur (Khorne Bloodbound) - Pages 1 -3 (ongoing) Duardin - Page 1 (complete) Sylvaneth Page 2 (complete) Beastmen (Brayherd, Warherd, Daemons, Monsters of Chaos) Page 3 (complete...for now) Ogors and Gargants Page 3 (complete)
Advice for Warherd Paint Scheme
ClockworkGeo91 posted a topic in Painting and ModellingHi all, I am taking part in the Fate of Sigmar Narrative event next year and I will be taking Warherd. However I think I need some help in turning concepts into a paint scheme. My main idea is an 'Ulgu' Warherd, so dark neutral colours that represent a Herd who have become one with this shadow land. Any ideas for an Ulgu paint scheme? Secondary is a God-dedicated Herd, Slaneesh with pinkish skin that isn't too much. Any ideas for colours or schemes would be much appreciated. G
Warherd Strong!
Bananaman posted a topic in Painting and ModellingHere's my painted Warherd army for which I have been using Mierce minis ( I work for Mierce and oversaw the creation of these awesome minis so I was dying to use them in the wild! ) In AoS terms the list is Warherd Allegiance and contains (name on Mierce site in brackets) 1 doombull (general) (Qaano) 1 Doombull (Cqaa) 6 Bullgor (Sronax) 6 Bullgor (Sronax) 3 Bullgor (Sronax) Ghorgon (Tarvox) Ghorgon (Tarvox) Cygor (Druc) Cygor (Gorugg) I won 3 and lost 3 at the recent SCGT event in the UK. For what's considered to be a bottom tier army I was pretty pleased! The Bullgor can certainly catch ppl out with their long bomb charges! EVen after you go through what they do. The army is a ton of fun to use, is awesome at Duality of Death and can smash face. Though a lack of numbers and low armour can be your downfall in some scenraios/vs some armies. Just remember Warherd strong! (and roll those 4+s) Due to an impending house move (and expensive conveyancing fees to pay) the army is for sale. It contains the following (details from the Mierce site) ##druc, meat-hulk [resin] X fomoraic srónax monstrous infantry starter host [resin] X galagaak, raging tarvox [resin] (2) X gorugg, feral oghurüc [resin] X roaring srónax, srónax unit [resin] (2) X total: £595.13 X# I'm open to serious offers. I will ship via UPS (internationally) and Royal Mail special delivery (UK) only as both are tracked services. For an additional fee I can rebase onto Darklands bases and if you wish (for another fee) I can change the basing scheme completely, though this will take time. If you're interested feel free to DM me here or to mail me firstname.lastname@example.com - cheers!
Starting a Brayherd/Warherd armySo I have 20 gors and 10 ungor raiders that I have assembled a few years ago but shelved. I am thinking about actually building a brayherd/warherd army. I'm not really a tournament player so I don't want a cheese list, and I would expect that beastmen aren't really a cheesy army anyway. I was thinking something like this for 1500 pts: Allegiance: ChaosBeastlord (80)- Man-ripper Axe & Brayshield20 x Gors (160)- Gor-Blades & Beastshields20 x Gors (160)- Gor-Blades & Beastshields20 x Gors (160)- Gor-Blades & Beastshields20 x Ungor Raiders (200)20 x Bestigors (280)3 x Bullgors (180)- Great Axes5 x Centigors (80)Ghorgon (200)Total: 1500 / 2000Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 141
How can build my force from Warherds Bloodfeast Gorgers boxset?
PowerCreep posted a topic in ChaosHI! I am new to this wargaming thing and i looked at the new Warherds Bloodfeast Gorgers box set and thought- 'cool!' They seem fun to play and paint but i am not sure how can i work off from the box set to a little army (I am looking for something from 500 points to 1000) I don't want anything TOO competitve, and I would prefer if I kept the Breyherd theme (wont mind If there are some monsters, but something like chaos warrior would suck) Also can you "try" to make it not crazy expansive? Any painting tips would be welcome as well (currently i just have the standard starting painting box set and some space marines to practice on) Thanks!
WTB - GW plastic Minotaur / Bullgor Head x1
Bueno posted a topic in For sale and TradesHi All, i'm after one GW plastic Minotaur head, see example below, any one will do.
Penguinus posted a blog entry in Beasts and BoatsMy Beasts of Chaos army once was comprised of Beast Herds, Shaggoths and Chaos Ogres... but when the 7th Edition army book came out it removed those units from the army and so project warpig was started. I had a bunch of spare boar heads in my bits box at the time as the tuskgor chariots always came with alternate heads. These pigs needed a leader and aside from the shield, i also built my first full greenstuff model for the doompig. Unfortunately i never ran them much so never finished them off fully. With Age of Sigmar, i've ran them a few times and with devastating effect if they get into enemy lines. In honour of some of their most recent successes i've started to scratch build a piggy-mum (will count as a Ghorgon) to fill out the brood. Pig-gors Doompig Ghor-pig Size Comparisons Next hobby tasks for these: So i'm rebasing all of these to rounds, i'm going to do some more conversion work on piggsy (the pig on the square base) to turn him into another standard bearer. I need to finish basing and painting the DoomPig and obviously there is still a lot of modelling to go to finish the mother pig off. Her arms are going to have large bladed weapons bound on, i need to add a cloak to her too, buckles and detailing to the straps, additional armour plates and then i'll see what else needs adding after that.
Bases To Use For Beastmen?
Wesley posted a topic in Painting and ModellingHello, I am getting ready to re-base my Beastmen and was wondering what I should use in terms of base sizes. From what I was able to figure out it seems like Ungors best on 25mm round while everything else that was previously on a 25mm square is now best on 32mm round. So characters, Gors, & Bestigors. So mostly wondering now what the Doombull and Bullgors should be based on? 40mm or 50mm round? Also would it be a Oval 120mm x 92mm for the Ghorgon and Jabbersythe? As I assume this is the most common base to re-base anything that was previously on the square chariot base? Any guidance would be great; thanks! -Wes
Warherd Army ReviewIf you have been wondering about what it's like to actually play a Warherd, this thread is for you. I ran my Warherd for the entire summer campaign. I played 15 games at 1,000 points. ...and I only won about 3 of them. But! That's mostly because I'm terrible at AOS and constantly forget stuff. I did learn quite a bit and now I'm winning probably 40% of the games I play, unless someone tailors a list for me. I think this changed because I'm getting better at learning how to use the army effectively. This is my analysis! Pros: Minimum requirements for the army & formation are exactly 1k. Eats Stormcast, Ogor and Beastclaw alive and laughs about it so hard, milk comes out their nose. Low model count gives you plenty of opportunity to paint them creatively. Burst damage can be insane if you roll well, I wiped a unit of 40 zombies in a single round. Properly buffed, they hit on 3+, wound on 2+ and get 2 extra swings on 4+ to wound. Best matched against Ironjawz - my best fight left us with 2 Brutes and 1 minotaur at the end of the game competing for an objective at turn 6. Clearly the most fun match of the summer by far. Cons: Pathetic armor saves. Even with shields, it only gives you 4+ in the combat phase, not against shooting. Wood elves tie humiliating notes to their arrows as your cows turn into fat pincushions. Weak against any shooting army. The Ghorgon is a pussycat. It's only job is to look scary and draw fire away from the minotaurs and it works. 3 minotaurs will get more work done than the Ghorgon every single time, so swing him around blindly and paint it vibrantly. The Ghorgon's "Slavering maw" ability has never hit in the history of warhammer. People will tell you it has, but they are lying. I think it's a joke among the GW designers. They sit at bugman's and announce they will drink from their "huge slavering maw" and then while everyone watches, they pour their entire pint in their lap and then everyone laughs and laughs If you have to split up your forces, you will lose. If you fight khorne bloodbound, you will probably lose. Tactics: Stay in a 16" bubble. Don't accept charges. Always take advantage of pre measuring to hedge your bets against being charged. A strong wind will damage your fragile minotaurs and losing even one out of the group of 3 before it can do it's 6 wounds (average) is huge. Only send in one unit at a time if you can. Even if you are able to charge everything in at once. Avoid giving your opponent a free swing at your bulls. Unless you are trying to force your opponent to make a tough tactical choice. If you have to sacrifice something, sacrifice the Ghorgon. Remember all the little bonuses. Like how your banner gives you +1 bravery for every enemy unit within 12" - this saves you from bravery based mortal wound generators like Drycha and Flesh Eater Courts. Always remember to roll unpredictable destruction. Get your Doombull into combat in turn 2. His damage is incredible and he's fairly tanky with 8 wounds. Applying wound order is always Musician, Banner, Bloodkine. Try to force your opponent into scenery bottlenecks, like the door to the ophidian archway, or some other tight squeeze. This will help when fighting armies that can pile in and attack when they die. If there's no reach, there's no damage. General Advice: I run my army with the Runeblade(?) (don't have the book on me at the moment) on the Doombull (4 damage!) and Lord of War giving him the ability to grant +1 to hit to another unit, which has a surprisingly huge impact in controlling the tide of the battle. Get used to winning embarrassingly easily or losing with grace and a smile. Some of your games might not be much fun for you or your opponent unless you bring a ton of banter and keep a good attitude. I painted cow jokes to the bottom of all my bases, so whenever one gets pulled off the table: I tell a terrible cow joke. The saddest win I earned was against gutbusters. I lost one minotaur. My opponent was a prince about it. The saddest loss I suffered was against Flesh Eaters, who beat me by one model on the objective. Super close game though! If you are playing 1000 point games, play on a 4x4 table. It's recommended in the book for a good reason. The main reason being that it makes armies like this viable in about half of the scenarios. For most scenarios you will rely on a tabling victory. Stampede in other armies: 1000 points for a single Bullgor Stampede means that, to fit it into a 2k list, you have to be super clever with "fixing" their shortcomings with 1k worth of chaos units, and your doombull still has to be your general - or get access to his command ability from another buff like from the Archaeon on steed's "Warlord without Equal" or similar ability. I wouldn't recommend having more than 1000 points of bulls on the table because they have to be within 16" of the Doombull to get their synergy and if he gets iced, your house of cards falls pretty hard. Is it fun? YES. It's my favorite army to play. Even if I lose, I am peeling enemy models off the table in droves and most people who beat me feel like they really had to work for it. It's usually when they total up the victory points and say "Wait... I won?" In my experience, the best games are the ones we almost win, or almost lose. I'm probably forgetting something. I had a ton of fun painting mine, I snagged a silver in my first AOP with them! Here are some photos!
The Cygor Arrives!
Goodwin posted a blog entry in Goodwin's Forces of ChaosI was going to write up something inspring, but I'm not all that inspired by this guy! I'm pretty sure I like how his skin turned out, but I think that's it. And even that is a little chalky! Not my best work I don't think. -.- I've been digging the Warherd stuff up until actually nearly finishing it. I may just be getting sick of painting Beastmen. I'm bad for wanting everything I don't already own, nothing I own is ever cool anymore. This weekend my interest has gone from Flesh Eater Courts, to Khorne Bloodbound, to Deathrattle, to Khorne Bloodbound, to Stormcast. Worst guy. Anyway, this bad ass is done! Ghorgon next! The Cygor arrives!
Are Warherds pure junk?This is a question that came to my mind from another forum... I've been a Beastmen player for a very long time, and I always loved them, especially minos. In this last period since Age of Sigmar came I found very, very satisfaying playing huge hords of gors, and I'm pleased to see, they do pretty well even with "big guys"... On the other hand I'm very very sad to see my lbeloved minos turned into pure rubbish in my opinion. Where I play we use the General's handbook pointspretty much always even for campaigns, and pointwise I believe Warherds are some of the worst choices out there.The formation Bullgore Stampede is great as well as the Doombull's Slaughterer's Call... but everything else is pretty much "weak".A Doombull is pure junk compared to his alternatives: Megaboss, Ogre Tyrant, Daemon Prince are all better (he used to be much killy-er than these guys but it's not like that anymore)... 3A rend -2 3 damage?!?!?!? Seriously that's ******...Minos have 2 or 3 attacks (you get 2 more for every 6(5) to wound with the formation ,but to get there you have the 4+ to hit so it's not that they are so killy as it might seem. Ironjaw Brutes are much more dangerous than 3 minos...The funny thing is that 20 gors are more dangerous than minos, cost less and have more potential to get better cause of a lot of synergies with heroes, besides being much more resilient due to wounds: you get 20 wounds with gors vs. 12 wounds for minos with the same armour save for the same price (gors cost 20pts less)...In terms of offensive: gors can unleash with the formation 40A at 4+ 4+ that easely (always) turns into 3+ (BSB) 3+ (Caos and Anarchy) or even an absurd 60A at 3+ 2+ (a roll of 4+ for Chaos and Anarchy while over 20 models and within a range of a hero - both pretty easy to achieve) and are much faster than minosBesides Warherds have no protection at all, and actually very few wounds too, so against most opponents they lose very soon they HtH effectivness (which is also limited see above)At 1000pts you get the minumun:Doombull3x3 MinosGhorgonThat's 11 models 58 wounds... naked... no magic protection... and oddly even weak in HtH.If we compare the Warherd to the Breyherd these numbers get even worse... for 1000pts you get:GorthorShamanBSB2x20 gors10 gors + 10 ungors2 chariotsSo over 80 wounds, magic protection, absurd speed, a powerfull General with regen etc...At higher points the gap becomes even worse.I trully loved minos, they were/are my favorite "race", but now I see no reason for playing them at all...Am I missing something? Do you guys use them and how?
Warherd 2000 pts, very niche?
Necronomicon posted a topic in ChaosHey ya'll, I've experimenting with making a nice looking Warherd list. It's very niched. Not many options and basically uses everything there is... Modelwise i think it would look incredible on the table but im unsure how it would play out in the game (since i havent played that many games yet), what do you think? Doombull 120 pts Doombull 120 pts 6x Bullgors 360 pts 6x Bullgors 360 pts 3x Bullgors 180 pts Cygor 200 pts Ghorgon 220 pts Ghorgon 220 pts Ghorgon 220 pts 2000 pts sharp Im a fan of the Doombull and Bullgors but im unsure about the Ghorgon and Cygor. Looking at the rules and comparing them to other monsters they seem lackluster. Would it be better to drop them or reorganize and go for more bullgors? Could a warherd list compete in matched play?
Goodwin Wants A WarherdHey hey, So, I'm thinking of taking the ridiculous plunge of buying up three more boxes of minotaur and a ghorgon. I haven't had a chance to play Matched Play yet, but I'm sure it'll proooobably be what we mainly play here. The potential list is pretty well set in stone given the points cost and limited availability of different unit types. So it's looking like - Doombull Bullgor x6 (Double Axes) Bullgor x6 (Great Axes) Bullgor x6 (Great Axes or Shields?) Ghorgon Ghorgon Cygor Bullgor Stampede That'll throw me just under 2000 points. The Bullgor Stampede will give me mortal wounds on charges for units within 1" on a 4+ (not all that great), as well as generated 2 attacks with Bloodgreed instead of one. Rule of 1 will put a damper on this, but the extra attacks will hopefully make up for it. In my head it seems both barren and bad ass. There's not much tactics to it other then charge forward and try to devour the enemy. The Doombull's Slaughterer's Call will be giving +1 wound to models that are already wounding on like 3's, and with Bloodgreed popping off now on 4+/5+ from the +1 to Wound that should be handy! If I do it I'm thinking one unit of each type Bull Axes, Great Axes, and Shields would look cool, but I'm not sure Shields are really worth it? I have to run one unit with double axes since they are going to be painted like the Khorne Bullgor from the Realmgate Wars! Dun dun! What do you guys think? Is it worth going bananas here, or is this list more of a handicap then a bad ass monster mash?
The Warhoof Arrives
Goodwin posted a blog entry in Goodwin's Forces of ChaosWhile Shartok Dragonchewer continues his journey of bringing the Shard of the Herdstone to Beastlord Kaamagruul tribe, reinforcements arrive. Fooves pound across the plains, and drunken yowls piercing the treeline. The Sons of the Warhoof arrive - united in devotion to their father and a love of good drink. Ghorros Warhoof - here to drink, fight, and rut. The Centigor Herd - Born from regions across the Realm of Life, willing to defend their father with their life! Pretty happy with how these guys turned out. I really enjoy tinkering with skin tones lately. I still struggle with highlighting though. All of the gor-kin were done with drybrushing like two years ago but I'm trying to evolve! I'm also not confident enough to do anything with banners yet. All of my banners look way too clean for Beastmen and are bare for now. Maybe once I finish the rest of the Herd off I'll give it a shot. Next up - Moghur and three more Bullgor. I was really inspired by the Tauri BloodscorcherWhateverCan'tRememberTheirFullNameNow Bullgors from the Godsbeast book. I really like the idea of the Herd absorbing members as they march around. I'm not done it, but since they were fighting the Stormcast I'm sure they lose! So these can be some refugees or something. I'll be using the guide in the book. I usually don't like using guides either, but I think it'll add an interesting bit to the Warherd. I glued them with double hand weapons (all axes) as it seemed more Khorney - I realize its probably not as strong, but my first set of six have magnetized hands so I can do what I want with them. Has anyone tried running them with shields? Do they lose some effectiveness for not much protection? In the longrun I was thinking three units of six, each one equipped differently for looks as well as utility.
Warherd vs Dwarves Godbeasts Battleplan
cranect posted a topic in Narrative and Open PlayThe other day a friend of mine and I played a game out of the godbeasts book. I don't remember the mission name but it is the one where the monsters show up and you roll for control of them. We modified it slightly to make it so that the monsters attack whoever is closest. Using the new points system we built 1000 point armies. I took warherds with the bullgor stampede. He took dwarves with bellagor, some iron drakes, longbeards, and something else for melee. The monsters were composed of 5 giants, a cygor, a ghorgon, a maw krusha, a chimera, and a jabberslythe. Turn one he sat there since he was out of range. I moved up and then we rolled to see where the monsters came in. The cygor a chimera and a giant came onto the side we were both heavily deployed to. Everything else was on the other side. The cygor hit his longbeards for little damage. The chimera ripped into his iron drakes and left only 2-3 out of 10 standing. The giant whiffed against my minotaurs and did very little. On the other side the monsters moved up and 2 giants made the long charge to the minotaurs. Everyone whiffed here... Next turn the dwarves kill the chimera and wound the cygor enough to make it nearly useless. I move up and crush most of the longbeards with one unit of minotaurs and bellagor beats the doombull down. The other unit of minotaurs killed the single giant. On the other side the giants and minotaurs do nothing... Again... The monsters all move up and due to the jabberslythe the minotaurs still fighting the giants go mad and sit down. The assorted everything promptly annihilated them. We are both feeling the panic now that the monsters are much closer. He only really has bellagor left and a few longbeards and I'm down to 1.5 minotaur units. Bellagor wipes out the weak unit and the minotaurs killed the longbeards before being dispatched. The last unit of minotaurs took all but one wound off the realmgate. Next turn the monsters kill belagar and all but one minotaur who has one wound left. In my turn the minotaur finishes the realmgate for a victory. It was a great wacky game since we changed how the monsters worked. We also should have only had 2 of them but it was more fun with 10. I highly recommend this scenario.
Goodwin's Stampede
Goodwin posted a blog entry in Goodwin's Forces of Chaos(Pictures below!) Shartor Dragonchewer snorted, sending steam cutting through the evening frost. They had marched far with their quarry and the air even this far from the Jotenburg was chill and harsh. Still, they had escape the daemons of blood that had sought the precious Shard of the Herdstone. First, escaping from the wailing bloodthirsty creatures through an land of haunting ruins continued to trouble the dreams of some of his tribe. Then, as the daemons closed in, his monstrous tribe was able to destroy the ice-bridge that surrounded the deceased Jotenburg over the sea. Sealing the daemons on the mainland and leaving the tribe free to continue their travel. This was not without its costs though as the daemons, in their own desperation, shattered part of the ground themselves and sent many a bullgor to their icy death. The hardest part of the entire endeavor was resisting the Bloodgreed. There was much blood and gore to be had, but the Doombull needed to maintain his focus. To fall to the Bloodgreed, to enter into open conflict with these daemons would be to forfeit the Herdstone and risk shackling his, and Beastlord Kaamagruul's tribes to servitude. Still, what was arrayed before him was no better sight for it carried with it two risks. One, the Bloodgreed, and two, the two armies arrayed before him. Clearly, stopping to devour the nearby town was a necessary but costly ordeal. He licked the frozen remnants of gore from his tusks and narrowed his eyes. The tribesbull closest to him were already losing themselves, huffing, grunting and snorting, tearing at the ground with their hooves and paws. For across this valley a column of the shimmering warriors of Azyr and their Fyreslayer dwarf allies were amassing. Worse, from behind, he could make out the skittering shapes and disgusting sent of the Skaven. These creatures, like the daemons, had sought to capture the Herdstone, and he had little doubt that the forces aligned against him were brought on by those most treacherous of beasts. He needed to pass them. He let the Bloodgreed take over. Vak the Manflayer charged forward as well. The Wargor's own blood had risen to the occasion and he howled a warcry to his fellow Brayherd. When, out of the frost-mists came an unexpected sight. The howls of fury and bloodgreed were met by daemonic shrieks. The air became coppery. As droplets of sleet and moisture turned red, and then stuck to eachother - out of the newly reddened mists came dozens of Bloodletters. The Daemons of Khorne had arrived, but were charging not at the Warherd, but with them. A Blood-flurry tore across the valley. My first game for the Season of War. This was awesome! Three friends challenged my previous enemy and I to a 2v3 game. Stormcast, Fyreslayers and Skaven vs Beastmen and Khorne Daemons. We played this weeks Battleplan. My main highlight came when the Bullgor and Doombull charged Retributors and Vandus, with a Jabberslythe nearby having JUST made the Retributors unable to do ANYTHING (including attacking). The carnage was much, and the Retributors blazed back to Azyr. The doombull fell, but the bullgor send Vandus back as well. The armies of Blood achieved victory, seizing the store for Chaos. In my head, I saw this as an awesome continuation to a mini-campaign my companion and I were playing, which was Khorne Daemons vs Beastmen. Here are the culprits for my side! The Bullgor Hargum Stone Watcher Pictures of Shartor Dragonchewer will come later! He was shy and apparently I don't have any pictures of him. The rest of the warherd will hopefully be done painting soon! Cygor and Ghorgon, as well as some new Bullgor I ordered that I will be painting Khornate since the Tauroi stuff in Godbeasts has me inspired! Oh, there is Shartor on the bottom picture. He was made with a handful of Ogre Kingdoms bitz. The joy of having too many armies. You can always cannibalize them each time. First picture shows what the Stormcast were facing. Second picture shows the battle lines, and the Daemon Prince of Khorne going Ratslaying. Those treacherous creatures! For their treachery, the Clan Skryre shooting did badly, very poor rolls for pretty much all of their shooting! Poor guy. Third picture shows the big fight on my side of the table.

Social Justice @ UBC Noted Scholars Lecture Series
The Intimate Public Sphere: Thinking Through the Skin
Dr. Leslie Roman
Professor, Educational Studies, Faculty of Education
University of British Columbia
In this talk Dr. Leslie Roman asks, how do public pedagogical texts mobilize particular meanings about whose bodies/minds matter or figure? How do they articulate particular affective investments, desires, and values related to our everyday understanding of invisible and visible impairments, and the ways in which discourses of 'normalcy' are taught? Dr. Roman examines three examples of public pedagogy or media campaigns to educate the public about particular invisible impairments experienced predominantly by women. She theorizes how women with invisible impairments are seen to lack veracity in Western visual cultures that both equate and privilege the visible with truthfulness and authenticity. Dr. Roman considers, after Agamben, the 'zones of exception' created by the in/visible hierarchy for disability rights claims and human rights struggles for women with invisible impairments.
Dr. Leslie G. Roman is Professor of Educational Studies, GRSJ Affiliate, former Killam Fellow at the University of British Columbia and a painter in her spare time. As a sociologist of education, she publishes widely in and bridges disability studies, cultural studies, and postcolonial feminism. She co-created with Geoff McMurchy the groundbreaking disability arts, culture and scholarship series, The Unruly Salon and co-produced the film, The Making of the Perfect Storm, an excerpt of which YouTube features. She recently completed a SSHRC-funded project, exploring the interconnections among eugenics, asylum-making, residential schools for people with disabilities and medicalized colonialism in the Woodlands School in B.C. Her work appears in Educational Theory, Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, The International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, The International Journal of Inclusive Education, among others. She co-edited Dangerous Territories: Struggles for Difference and Equality (Routledge),Views Beyond the 'Border Country': Raymond Williams and Cultural Politics (Routledge) and the award-winning, Becoming Feminine: The Politics of Popular Culture (The Flamer Press/Taylor & Francis). Her book, Contested Knowledge will appear shortly (Rowman & Littlefield).

On a night of thrilling racing, there were never more than four points between the teams at any stage as the KBS Diamonds held the lead until the end of Heat 11.
But a 5-1 for Simon Stead and Blair Scott over Newcastle teenagers Jamie Robertson and Rune Knudsen in the next race nosed the Comets in front, 37-35, and defeat seemed to be staring the Diamonds in the face.
The picture worsened in Heat 13 when Newcastle new boy Mick Powell broke the tapes and earned himself a 15-metre handicap in the re-start. Powell could only trail around in last place as visiting skipper Carl Stonehewer avenged an opening heat defeat by Kenneth Bjerre and Richard Juul to put Workington in front, 41-37, with just two heats remaining.
The events of Heat 14 however will long be remembered as Little and reserve Craig Branney leapt into an early lead only for the two Workington riders to collide behind them, causing the race to be stopped.
Aidan Collins was excluded from the re-run but the Comets still had high-scoring Blair Scott to threaten Little and Branney. Again the two Diamonds were quickest from the tapes and Scott's dive inside Branney as the riders went into the third bend caused the Newcastle man to fall. The Workington rider was disqualified by the referee for unfair riding and the Diamonds picked up five gift points in the third running of the race to move into an unlikely lead, 42-41.
By this time, Workington had clinched the bonus point after their win, 50-40, the previous evening and still sensed they could pull off a double, especially after winning the toss for gate positions in the final heat.
The inside gate had provided seven race winners previously so Stonehewer selected that one for himself and had 10-point man Rusty Harrison for company as Newcastle team manager Dave Rowland pinned his faith on Bjerre and Little.
The two Diamonds grabbed an early lead and Little brilliantly held off Stonehewer for two laps before the Workington rider got past, by which time Bjerre was long gone into the distance to clinch a sensational victory.
Rowland said later: "We are delighted with our first win over a very good Workington side, it was a real team effort and Kevin Little led by example. I must also pay tribute to our two reserves, Craig Branney and Jamie Robertson, for the part they played in the victory."
NEWCASTLE: Kenneth Bjerre 13, Kevin Little 12, Richard Juul 6, Mick Powell 6, Craig Branney 5, Jamie Robertson 3, Rune Knudsen 1.
WORKINGTON: Carl Stonehewer 11, Simon Stead 10, Rusty Harrison 10, Blair Scott 9, Aidan Collins 2, Chris Collins 1, Kauko Nieminen 0.
Saturday's scorers: WORKINGTON: Stonehewer 13, Harrison 12, Stead 10, Scott 10, A Collins 3, C Collins 2, Nieminen 0.
NEWCASTLE: Powell 14, Bjerre 10, Little 8, Robertson 3, Juul 3, Branney 2, Knudsen 0.

In conversation with Ramesh Damani, William Browder, CEO and co-founder of investment fund Hermitage Capital Management, talks about the voucher system in communist Russia and how he chose to invest in the country.
William Browder, CEO and co-founder of investment fund Hermitage Capital Management released a tell-all memoir earlier this year which exposes widespread government corruption and how he started investing in the Wild East Russia. In conversation with Ramesh Damani he talks about the voucher system in communist Russia and how he chose to invest in the country.
Below is the transcript of William Browder's interview with Ramesh Damani on CNBC-TV18.
Q: Someone once wrote about you that you lived three lives. Let us start with your first life. Your family in America were communists and you wanted to become a capitalist. Why?
A: My grandfather was American from Kansas, a labour union organiser and he was invited to Russia in 1927 by the communist party. And he got there, he married my grandmother. My father was born in Moscow and then he returned to America and became the general secretary of the American communist party running for president twice against Roosevelt on the communist ticket. He was eventually persecuted and he was kicked out of the communist party by Stalin for being too capitalist and he was persecuted by McCarthy for being too communist.
Q: In the 1950s in America.
A: So, I was born in 1964. I was going through my teenage rebellion in the 1970s and I thought what is the best way of rebelling from my family of communist and for me it was to put on a suit and tie and become a capitalist and so that is what I set out to do. And, I went to Stanford Business School and I graduated 1989 which was the year that the Berlin Wall came down. And I looked at the situation and I said to myself, if my grandfather was the biggest communist in America, I going to try to become the biggest capitalist in Eastern Europe and that is what I set out to do.
Q: What peaked your interest in Eastern Europe and the privatisation programme there? Was there a flash-point?
A: So, my first job out of business school was with the Boston Consulting Group in London and one day they came to me and said, "We have an assignment in Poland in a little town about six hours from Warsaw on the Ukrainian border." And I raised my hand and I jumped at the opportunity. I went to Poland, I sat in this little town. It was a terrible lifestyle, there were food shortages and hyper-inflation and all sorts of other stuff. But while I was there, I discovered the very first Polish privatisations being advertised in the newspaper. And I did the math and they were selling companies at one half of one year's earnings. So, the value of the company was half of the previous year's earnings. So I looked at this and I said to myself, you do not have to go to Stanford Business School to know that a company is selling at a PE ration of a half is a good deal. And so at the time I had a total of USD 2,000 of life savings and I took my USD 2,000. I bought shares in the privatisation and then they went up 10 times.
Q: And so, that brought you to Russia?
A: So, I then became an investor and eventually I found myself at Saloman Brothers. And I was with Saloman Brothers at the very beginning of the Russian Privatisation programme and my first trip to Russia, I went up to a town called Murmansk which is located a couple 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle to advise the management of a fishing fleet on their privatisation. So, I go to the fishing fleet and the manager takes me to one of the boats and it is an enormous big fishing vessel and I said, "How much does this thing cost?" He said, "About USD 20 million." And I said, "How many of them do you have?" And he said, "We have about 100." So, I said, "Okay, USD 2 billion worth of ships." And I said, "How old is the fleet?" He said, "About seven years old." So, I said, "Okay maybe it is about USD 1 billion worth of ships at market value." And I said, "And what is your question for me?" And she said, "The question is, should the management buy 51 percent of the fleet for USD 2 and a half million?"
Q: Holy Toledo!
A: So, there I was I said, "So, USD 5 million to buy a company with USD 1 billion worth of ships." And I said to myself I want to have some part of this. And that point I went to Moscow just to see if this was an anomaly or whether this was going on across the country.
Q: And Russia just launched its voucher programme? Explain that to us.
A: So, what happened was, they gave a voucher to every person and so there were a 150 million people, 150 million vouchers, the vouchers were freely exchangeable. You could buy and sell them.
Q: And no restrictions, foreigners could buy them.
A: No restrictions -- foreigners, locals, everything -- and the voucher is traded on an exchange where they trade it for roughly USD 20 each. So, if you did the math. 150 million vouchers times 20 gives you USD 3 billion. USD 3 billion was exchangeable for 30 percent of all the shares of all Russian companies which meant that the market capitalisation of Russia and at this time which was 1992 was USD 10 billion, the whole country -- 35 percent of the world's gas, 10 percent of the world's oil, 10 percent of the world's aluminium etc.
Q: Fertilisers, steel, tractors, real estate.
A: USD 10 billion, the whole thing. This was a minor midsize oil company in America the whole country of Russia and so on the back of that I decided to set up my company Hermitage Capital Management to invest funds from the West into Russia.
Q: Did you have any self doubt? No one was listening to your story at first and Russia even at that time was the Wild West in a manner of speaking. Did you suffer self-doubt?
A: It was pure economic calculation. You are buying stuff at a 99.7 percent discount.
Q: What can happen?
A: It could go down to a 100 percent discount or alternatively it can get slightly better from horrible and it can go to a 95 percent discount and then you have made many multiples on your money and I just did the simple math myself and I said, let's say there is a 50 percent chance that they decide to just change the whole program and go back to communism and a 50 percent chance that they do not. So there is a 50 percent chance of making 10 or 15 times your money and a 50 percent chance of losing everything, I may need to take that bet. It was not a question of confidence versus doubt; it was purely a question of economics.
Q: And Anatoly Chubais was the Russian privatization minister wasn't he?
A: So, Anatoly Chubais was the privatization minister and he was this ideologue guy who said let's just give everything away for free.
Q: Because we will never go back to the old system again as I remember him saying.
A: That was the logic. Now, it was faulty logic because it did not help create capitalists, it helped create --22 guys became owners of 40 percent of the country.
Q: Oligarchs?
A: Oligarchs, the 22 Russian oligarchs and everyone else lived in abject poverty and so it was not a fair system.
Q: But you were happy in the initial years. You and the Russian government were friends.
A:So, in the very first years I had nothing to do with the Russian government. I just bought the shares, typed my spreadsheets, did my analysis, the shares went up. It was only after the collapse and the fault of 1998 that the Russian oligarchs started to steal from all of the minority shareholders. They were organizing acid-stripping, transfer-pricing, delusions and embezzlement, etc. And at that point I had to start fighting the oligarchs and at the point that I started fighting the oligarchs, was just the moment when Putin showed up on the scene and Putin had the same enemies as I did and I never met Putin, I am not his friend, but there is an expression, your enemy's enemy is your friend. And, so I was going after the oligarchs. The oligarchs were stealing money from me, they were stealing power from Putin and so every time I went and publicized the scandal about how these were guys were stealing from me, he would step in. And so, for about 40 years I had this blessed life where I would do research on how the oligarchs were stealing, I would publicise it, Putin or one of his officials would step in, they would then do something to stop the scandal and the share prices went up.
Q: You believe Russia had a rule and not of law?
A: What happened was, I was cheering as Putin was stepping in to help me. Cheering Putin, cheering my own economic success and then Putin arrested the richest man in Russia, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the owner of Yukos. He arrests Mikhail Khodorkovsky and he puts him on trial and he allows the television cameras to film the richest man in Russia on trial sitting in a cage. So, imagine this, you are the 17 th richest guy in Russia, you are on your yacht parked off the Hotel Du Cap in Antibes, you walk out to the living room, you click your remote control, you switch on the CNN and there you see a man far better than you, far richer, far smarter sitting in a cage. What is your natural reaction going to be?
Q. Run!
A: Well, they could not run because they had all their stuff in Russia, they had to run back to Russia and stand in line, go to Vladimir Putin and say, "Hey Vladimir, what do I have to do to make sure I do not sit in a cage?" And I was not there, so I could only speculate but I believe that what he said was 50 percent. 50 percent for the Russian government, 50 percent for the presidential administration, for Vladimir Putin.

7 - 10 Working Days
This product comes with an Authenticity Guarantee and a Satisfaction Guarantee.
Epic drivers and fairway woods have been an incredible success for Callaway by delivering players of all ability levels with ball speed increases that have subsequently led to significant distance gains. Even more impressively, Callaway has been able to deliver those additional yards while actually increasing forgiveness in those clubs.
Not surprisingly, Callaway engineers had also been working intently on bringing irons to market that could offer the same playability benefits to golfers. In fact, they had been instructed by Callaway brass to go out and create the most advanced irons in golf regardless of the time and costs associated with the project.
The result of those efforts, which included contributions from 70 different engineers, are the new GBB Epic and Epic Pro irons. And as the 'Epic' name would suggest, these are irons that are producing faster ball speeds for more distance and incredible forgiveness. Keying the ball speed increases are Callaway's highly successful 360 Face Cup Technology, which enables more ball speed from across the clubface, and the Epic irons' ExoCage construction, which allows the face to flex more at impact. But the most significant innovation in the Epic irons is a new Tungsten-Infused Standing Wave, as different amounts of Tungsten are injected into the clubhead to alter the CG position of each iron in the set to deliver optimal performance.
More specifically, a lower CG placement in the long irons delivers effortless launch and increased carry distance, while a higher CG placement in the short irons promotes a lower, controlled ball flight, which is ideal for scoring shots. In terms of the differences between the Epic standard and Pro model, it really comes down to aesthetics. The Pro version features smaller blade lengths, thinner toplines and soles, and less offset, which visually, as the name would suggest, will likely appeal to better players.

Based on the new discoveries, a new understating of the verse 29:41 has added to previous reflections. The Qur'an calls the spider's house the weakestone. It is the weakest home not only for it can be damaged easily, but also for there is no love and kindness between the members of this house.
The Qur'an introduces the house of the spider as the weakest house [1], while the scientists have proven that the spider's silk that the spider weaves its home from it is five times stronger than steel or at least is a wonder of nature. [2] Muslim commentators believe that it is the weakest home because it easily becomes scattered dust. [3] But let's see what the scientists say in this regard.
According to the scientific discoveries, the weakness of the spider's house refers to the relations between the members of the house which is based on hatred and enmity instead of kindness and love. "It is the flimsiest of all houses, because it is deprived of all love and kindness, which are the pillars of any happy home. The female, in some types of spiders, kills the male as soon as the fertilization takes place.
Being larger in size and more violent, the female kills the male and eats its body. In some cases, the female eats its youngsters mercilessly. In some types, the female dies after fertilizing its eggs, which are usually fostered in a silk bag. When the eggs hatch, spider lings come out to find themselves in a very crowded place inside the eggs bag. The siblings then start to fight for food, space or both. They kill each other until a few spiderlings remain. These spiderlings shed their skin and tear the eggs bag to come out one after the other. Each female starts to build its house. On the road to achieve this goal, some of the spiderlings die, whereas those who survive repeat the same tragedy. This makes the spider's house the most violent and ruthless house, lacking all forms of kinship.
Hence, Allah, the Almighty, sets it as a parable in its weakness and frailty because it lacks the simplest form of kindness between the husband and wife, the mother and her children, the brother and his siblings, and the sister and her siblings." [4]

It is never too early to start planning your looks and main purchases for the spring season. If you are someone who likes to stick with the trends as much as possible for your beauty and hair, then this is the list for you. Some may be a little out of your comfort zone, but others may be the perfect trend for you. Take a look and see if there are any 2018 spring trends you will be sporting this year.
It seems the mermaid craze has been carried over into 2018 with this turquoise trend. This look is based around the eyes, and it is a colorful twist on the traditional smokey eye. You may need to practice blending and choose a terracotta or neutral crease color to blend the bold shadow with. This look can either be used as both a lid and under eye combination, or you can isolate the color and contrast with an orange – bringing the famous blue and orange autumn trend of 2017 back.
Lime Green
One that looks exceptional on darker skin tones, a wash of lime green eyeshadow has taken off since it was sported on the runway by Tracey Reese. This really is the statement of the look, pair the eyeshadow with quite a sheer base, brows, and some mascara will allow this look to reach its full potential of impact.
Kick-Flare Lashes
Gone are the days of the dramatic full lash, here to stay are kick-flare lashes. The idea behind this lash is it mimics the natural shape of your lashes but are thicker and fuller. They start off small in the inner corner and then flare out to beautifully long lashes at the outer corner. They have been compared to the lashes of the deer and are said to give the wearer a doe-eyed look.
Bare Face, Red Lip
While a red lip barely goes out of fashion, it is usual to think of wearing a red lip with a full glam look. This year, everything else on the face should be stripped back to basics – minimal coverage and maybe a touch of mascara to allow the red lip to take full ownership of the look.
The Sandy Eye
Now you've already heard of a smokey eye, however, this year's on-trend eye is the sandy eye. Using a slightly darker shadow than your skin tone and spreading it all over the lid to give the shadowy, "dusted by sand" effect to the eye. It really helps to draw attention to the eye, and when paired with a neutral lip, you can achieve a glam and on-trend look with next to no effort.
The Slick Back Curls And Curled Lashes
It can be difficult to know therighthairstyles to sport when it comes to staying on-trend, however, 2018 is the year of the soft curl. Slick all of your hair back out of your face – but rather than stick with the sleek, straight hair of the autumn trend, curl your hair for a soft, spring look. Pair this with a completely bare face and some curled lashes and you're ready to head out of the door.
There you have it, though not exhaustive, there are definitely a few more darish trends to choose from in this list. Hopefully, you have seen something you would like to try out, and may your spring season be stylish and fabulous just like you.
