The Call For Nationalisation Is A Bourgeois Demand
international | worker & community struggles and protests | opinion/analysis Sunday May 18, 2014 18:09 by Paddy Hackett
Calls for nationalisation are Utopian
State expenditure, as a whole, constitutes an enormous deduction from total surplus value. This largely unproductive spending involves an enormous contraction in the accumulation of capital. It is a deduction that has been growing significantly in the aftermath of the 2nd World War. In the present period of growing problems, regarding the accumulation of capital, there have been continuing feeble attempts to shrink the state or at least reduce the annual rate of state spending.

8/1/2014 (1 year ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Five people were killed a few short hours later a 72-hour ceasefire was declared in Gaza. Both United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry had previously announced that an unconditional humanitarian truce in Gaza would begin at 8 a.m. local time on Friday and last 72 hours as agreed by all parties.
The shelling occurred amid growing White House irritation with the scope of civilian casualties resulting from Israel's ground and air war.

Published in Middle East
Keywords: Gaza, Israel, truce, Hamas, civilian casualties
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Kerry warned that there are "no guarantees" the lull in violence would cease the 24-day-old Gaza war. Israel and Hamas have agreed to send negotiators to Cairo to seek a permanent end to the bloodshed.
"This is not a time for congratulations or joy or anything except a serious determination - a focus by everybody to try to figure out the road ahead," Kerry said. "This is a respite. It is a moment of opportunity, not an end."
SAVE Iraqi Christians from Genocide --
Seventeen Palestinians died in Israeli strikes and Israel's military reported that five soldiers were killed along the Gaza border the previous evening.
While there was an immediate lull when the truce began, five people were reported killed three hours later. More than a dozen people were wounded in Rafah as a result of Israeli tank shelling. There were also reports of sniper fire in the east of Gaza City.
Four short humanitarian cease-fires have been announced since the conflict began, but each has been broken by renewed fighting. Israel repeated that it would not stop destroying Hamas' tunnel network even in the event of a cease-fire.
The White House criticized Israel's deadly shelling of a United Nations school in the Gaza Strip as "totally unacceptable and totally indefensible." Reports have surfaced that Washington had agreed to allow Israel to replenish its dwindling munitions with a local U.S. arms stockpile.
Delivered by spokesman Josh Earnest, the statement was the Obama administration's strongest critique yet of Israel's weeks-long offensive against Hamas in the coastal enclave, and came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to press on with the operation "with or without a cease-fire."
"The shelling of a U.N. facility that is housing innocent civilians who are fleeing violence is totally unacceptable and totally indefensible," Earnest said.
The shelling occurred amid growing White House irritation with the scope of civilian casualties resulting from Israel's ground and air war.

Ordering shoes online is always iffy as you cant be sure of quality and sizing but I ordered my husband some boots very late on a Saturday night. I checked the sizing chart and they provided sizes in inches also! So I could measure his foot to make sure. Very easy to find what you want, and payment was quick. Midday Sunday, only 12 hours after I ordered (standard delivery) I received a text to say they would be here Monday! Amazing! I had my doubts they would actually turn up so soon but Monday morning I received another text to say what time I will expect DPD to deliver my hubbys boots: 'between 12.20 and 1.20' they turned up at 12.20 on the dot! The boots are wonderful quality and fit perfectly.
Extremely easy to order, amazingly fast delivery and quality products!

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.

WOW!! These are outstanding -and I should know..
I am a professional makeup artist (freelance) and was looking for some new brushes - I decided to look on overstock and found these. I was skeptical at first because I am used to paying MUCH more for my tools. I ordered one set - when they came in I was floored -they are amazing!! So I ordered 2 more sets asap. I have reccomended them to my clients and other makeup artists and everyone that has purchased a set is as happy as I am. A+Read More
These brushes are great! They are truly high professional quality brushes! If you could even find all these brushes, you would have to pay much more to get them elsewhere! This kit includes any brush you'd even need to create ANY makeup look! I would highly recommend these to any make artist or glamour girl!Read More
This set has pros and cons
I purchased this set based on the reviews. If you would like to experiment with brushes, this is a good starter set. It has a good number of different kinds of brushes for a low price. It has been a useful tool for me in expanding my makeup application techniques and knowledge. However, the brushes are made somewhat flimsily. While the tops of the brushes seem to be pretty good quality, they are not attached well to the handle. I had one brush head fall off the handle a few days after getting it. I had to glue it back on. Also, there is not a retractable lip brush included in the set (even though the description says there is one), which was a disappointment for me, as that was one of the brushes that I really needed. Finally, there isn't a clear description of what each brush is for, so if you are getting this as a introductory set, you'll probably have to do some online searches to figure out what each brush is intended to do. All in all, I am happy with my purchase--the cost was low and I do use all the brushes on a daily basis. But there may be better options out there.Read More
not so great
The brushes are fair quality. When I recieved the set, I was surprised to find that the retractable lip brush that was advertised was not retractable. I called to complain, and asked them to change the website, however it seems that six months later, no one has changed anything. It's a good set if you are planning on getting good brushes to replace them one by one.Read More
Fabulous Makeup Brush Set
When I first ordered the make up brushes I was a little skeptical, but everything else that I had ordered from Overstock.com had been wonderful so I gave it a try. The brushed came in and I LOVE them. I even bought an anther set for a friend of mine who is a hair stylist and also does make up and she LOVED them to. I've always spent a good amount of money on make up brushes from the MAC counter and now I don't have too. Thank you Overstock.comRead More

Dozens of members from notorious LA street gang are busted by 1,300 FBI agents and LAPD officers
- Bust focused on Five Deuce Broadway Gangster Crips in South Los Angeles
- It comes after a three-year grand jury probe led to 112-charge indictment
- Suspects face at least 10 years if convicted. Some face life without parole
Fifty suspected members of the LA Crips street gang have been arrested in a massive swoop by 1,300 FBI agents and LAPD officers.
The bust focused on the Five Deuce Broadway Gangster Crips, a gang with nearly 200 members operating in an area just west of the Skid Row district of Los Angeles, the FBI said.
Officers and agents working in small, heavily armed units burst into homes and properties around the area to seize suspects and weapons.
There were no reports of resistance to the surprise raids.
A law enforcement officer escorts a suspected member of the Broadway Gangster Crips street gang after he was arrested in Los Angeles yesterday in a swoop which culminates a three-year grand jury investigation
The suspect he is interviewed by an FBI agent at a mobile police station drafted in for the huge operation
Suspects had their details taken in mobile police stations drafted in specifically for the operation before being carted off to jail.
Large quantities of weapons and drugs were seized and taken as evidence.
Most of those arrested were among 72 defendants named in a federal racketeering indictment which alleges their involvement in robberies, murders, extortion, witness intimidation and drug trafficking.
The suspects are alleged to have been involved in dealing drugs including PCP, methamphetamine, ecstasy, cocaine and crack cocaine, and cannabis.
U.S. Attorney André Birotte Jr said: 'Criminal street gangs make their livelihood by ruthlessly preying on the innocent people that live in the neighborhoods they claim as territory.
'What makes the conduct of this gang particularly insidious is not only the violent crimes alleged but also the exploitation of Skid Row drug users who are already living in difficult circumstances.'

Weapons seized included handguns, shotguns and even hunting rifles
Police struck yesterday morning after a three-year grand jury investigation led to a 112-count indictment. Suspects were taken away in buses while officers displayed dozens of seized weapons, including pistols, shotguns and hunting rifles.
Dubbed Operation Gremlin Riders, after the violent clique targeted, the swoop aimed at breaking up 'a criminal enterprise that used violence and intimidation to control an area centering on the intersection of 52nd Street and South Broadway in South Los Angeles,' the FBI said.
The gang formed in the 1970s to confront rival street gangs, the FBI said, but had since grown into an organised crime cartel 'that conducts annual meetings and enforces a strict set of rules.'
Specific allegations against members include four murders since 1987, including killings of unarmed victims with no gang affiliations; conspiracy to murder a fellow gang member who had given statements to police; 'follow home' robberies that targeted people who'd just been to banks; and 'numerous' drug deals near schools and playgrounds.
It also accused gang members of firing shots at California Highway Patrol Officers during a high speed chase two years ago.

Of the 50 people arrested yesterday, 48 were named in the federal indictment and two more were arrested on local charges. A further 17 grand jury suspects were already in custody on unrelated charges and eight more remain at large.
All those named in the federal indictment face potential minimum sentences of 10 years in prison, but many face terms of life without parole.
The Crips are an almost exclusively African-American gang founded in South Central LA in 1969 by Raymond Washington and Stanley 'Tookie' Williams. These days it operates as a loosely connected network of individual street gangs.
Members of the Crips had been known for their use of the colour blue in their clothing, and their bitter rivalry with the Bloods, a rival gang identifiable by the colour red.

Some very unique expressions found here on a woman's thoughts about sexuality. Give her credit for delving much deeper than the typical article or bromides about this subject. In fact, her expression on what makes her feel sexual were quite eye-opening and unexpected to me, a man. I think I might understand a few things better about the variety of sensations that might make a woman feel this way. Not all of her attempts at literary flourishes and diversions will hit the mark with all readers, but she has provided some substantial enlightenment, in a tactful manner, on a subject of some difficulty. I hope she keeps it up.

More thoughtful and honest than most of the Deseret News articles that discuss
[Will they experience seeing the deepening wrinkles on a woman's face, around her eyes, curling under her chin down to her chest?]
Even as a man I don't want wrinkles. Would you wax poetically of the days when osteoporosis was more common or any other number of conditions which previously "defined" old age? We now have the ability to live longer, and look better while we do it, how is that not fantastic?

Video: Texas deputy shot in face at traffic stop
The officer had no idea he was pulling over a convicted felon wanted for murder
By PoliceOne Staff
MONTAGUE COUNTY, Texas — Video was released Wednesday of a horrific traffic stop that left an officer with a gunshot wound to the face.
Montague County Sheriff's Deputy James Boyd, 27, had pulled over a black Cadillac for a traffic violation, and leaned over the passenger side window when the driver suddenly opened fire. The driver struck Boyd twice in his ballistic vest and a third bullet grazed his forehead.
The driver, convicted felon Evan Ebel, then sped off and an off-duty detective spotted Boyd on the ground and came to his aid, according to KFDX News.
Ebel was being sought for the deaths of Colorado Prison Chief Tom Clements and Denver pizza delivery driver Nathan Leon at the time.
Ebel was killed in a shootout shortly after Boyd radioed for help and gave a description of Ebel and his vehicle.
Boyd is currently undergoing out-patient rehab at a Dallas area rehabilitation center, according to the article.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I just watched the Ultimate Edition via Digital HD. This was definitely an improvement, especially in the choppy plotting. The story makes sense now, and it patches up some HUGE plot holes (or plot gaps, rather) that made the Theatrical Cut so odd and incoherent, while also padding out character motivations a bit. I will also say that even though it's a better version, it's still a better version of the same movie, so if you didn't like the tone,…

50 fucking stars. A hundred. The Terminator is, was, and always has been one of the greatest science-fiction action thrillers ever made.
Let me kick it off with a story or two. The first time I ever saw this movie, I would've been about 6 or 7 years old. I was staying with my dad (a shady character) and older brother in a hotel room downtown. We were all eagerly looking forward to the movie, even though my parents had…
Captain America: The Winter Soldier 2014
I don't think superhero films should be comedies, history has proven that they work so much better as thrillers. And that's why Captain America: The Winter Soldier is my favourite Marvel film to date, possibly even more so than The Avengers.
When someone threatens to cause major damage to S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain America has to rethink everything he knows - already trying to adapt to the 21st century, he's making new friends and meeting old ones, thinking of partners lost and…

Hi everyone,
DBI - that's very odd re the RW website wanting the original password.
Columba - glad to hear you enjoyed the Midnight Sun races; shame about the knee (I enjoyed reading the blog btw).
HS - well done re 4th MV70+ in your race and great wava score; shame your nemesis beat you again; great photo. Re England/Iceland I have no interest in football myself but can't fail to be aware how often the team fail to live up to expectations at the big tournaments. Re bowls, there are at least two more matches I am scheduled to take part in so I went to the club on Mon and have been practising!
Red - I'm in bed now but had a good stretching session for my back beforehand. I have various books about stretching but checked and see there are some Iyengar yoga classes held in the village at the Tithe Barn.
Ahhh .. the benefits of being retired. The weather was good yesterday so I cut the lawns after I got back from bowls practise. Today it was forecast to rain around lunchtime. So I headed to a local driving range to practise my golf and when I got back Mrs Wm and I pottered in the garden for two hours before the promised rain arrived. I spent the rest of the day in the study catching up on 'stuff'.
I will be off to the running club tomorrow evening - we're at a new venue now so the sat-nav will be helping me find my way there.
Hi everyone - 10 days since my last post so have had to skim through quite a few pages - back to my old tricks again!
Red - well done re marathon 83 .. and 84. I think I should probably be doing yoga as I get stiff when spending too long sitting around. And when I look at myself in a full-length mirror I 'lean' to the left due to tight muscles.
HS - re the rain-sodden training run, before we set off I tried telling some others it was character-building but I'm not sure they believed me. Shame about the muddy socks - but as they were old I guess they'd done their bit.
Aquarius - I guess I'm lucky that I don't seem to have any issues with eating before training. I do enjoy my porridge before my weekend long run - and a race is usually an excuse to have pasta the night before. However keen you are to see proof of my skinny-dipping antics I think I might traumatise the others on here if I did post anything. You had better join me at Druridge on 25th Sep and experience it for yourself (what do you mean you're too busy?). Exhausted - sorry, had to chuckle at you having to change in the car. I've done that at races and no matter how many times you check the coast is clear, someone always seems to appear from nowhere.
On Fri 16th we lost power as the main supply cable got damaged (it was only 1" below the surface of the drive - much too shallow and very dangerous). It happened when a guy cutting a drainage channel around the base of the house hit it. Thankfully he wasn't injured but when we think what might have been! The supply company came out that night, dug a big trench and made the cable safe. They left just after 11pm having supplied a generator with us to provide power overnight. Teams of guys arrived on Sat to fix the damage permanently and while the power was off we agreed they could move the electric meter outside (it suited us too). It took until Tue to get the trench re-filled and re-asphalted. All the waiting around looking after things meant my training went to pot and apart from a 6.5ml run last weekend and a 5ml run this morning I've not managed anything else. I'm hoping for no unexpected problems this coming week.
Oh yes, and at my bowls match on Tuesday evening my team and I threw away a lead of several points between us, never recovered and lost the match - grrrr.
HS - the handicap races do seem to be going well so far so I hope I can pace myself better next time. Glad to hear you managed 7mls with no after-effects from the race at the weekend.
Red - we have to complete 3 of the 4 handicap races to qualify for the championship. I'm obviously hoping some people above me don't compete in races 3 and 4 so I can get more points (snigger).
Exhausted - I ran in the rain last night .. it was great fun splashing through the puddles (I gave up dodging them after a while!). It's my partner Margaret and I that are the problem! Her son is married but its us that live together, hence my reference to him being a 'sort of' son-in-law. Over the years we've also been 'Latties' (living apart together) and 'Pals' (partners although living seperately). My 'sort-of' grand-daughters refer to me as 'Grandad Mel' to differentiate me from 'Grandad' (their Mum's Dad) and 'Another Grandad' (my partner Margaret's ex).
Aquarius - gosh, there's a lot going on at once for you today .. hope you have a relatively quiet afternoon. Someone I chat to on Fetch also did the Blaydon race and managed her best time for a few years. Well done re your 3000m race. Running in the sea eh? Hmmmm .. as regulars on here know, the only time I normally run in the sea is when I am doing one of my 'charidee' skinny-dips I'll be doing that running into the sea thing again on 25th Sep at this year's North East Skinny Dip.
I went out on Mon and managed a 5ml run at 10 m/m pace which I was happy with. There were less people than usual at my running club last night due to the rain. Despite the downpour most people opted to go off-road. My friend Claire and I had already agreed we would be sticking to the roads and the other group were too speedy for us so we did a 5ml run together. I say together - I spent most of the time tagging along behind Claire trying to keep up with her and it was another run at 10 m/m pace.
Hi everyone - only a week since I posted .. I think my turnaround is improving!
HS - I always seem to manage a sprint finish and overtaking others is great for my morale. Ahhhh .. shredding .. I had so much to do before we moved my shredder over-heated several times and I had to take some enforced breaks (didn't mind really). Brilliant result for you coming in as 1st MV70+ in your men's race.
Columba - re the blackbird nabbing your strawberry, Margaret and I were discussing getting netting to protect our fruit bushes and cherry tree. Glad to hear your knee is mostly better (if a bit twingy now and then). I had friends (now moved away) who had a hot-tub and once or twice went in it on a starry, frosty night - we rushed to get in but could amble back indoors afterwards.
DBI - yes, I've never understood people not swimming in the rain. Had to chuckle to read you had 'cheated' and had a couple of little jogs.
Matsmum - oops re your snazzy bin that is not clever enough to beat Denzel. Running four days in a row? - I don't think I've ever run two days in a row, let alone four! Up until 6 or 7 years ago I was a regular at my local Ceroc (French Jive) classes but have got out of the habit. Margaret and I went to learn ballroom dancing in preparation for an invite to a Mayor's Ball but we've not done it since.
Red - sorry to hear the sad news about your friend Gordon. Well done re marathon 81 and good luck with #82 and #83
The results of last week's handicap race were published at the weekend. I was 18th of 23 (with 2 DNF's) and in the overall standings I'm 20th of 39. Doing a bit of analysis I can see if I had equalled my race 1 time I'd have gained another 9 points and 4 or 5 places in the standings.
My (sort of) son-in-law did the Two Castles 10K last Sunday from Warwick to Kenilworth - he claimed he hadn't done enough training but still managed a very respectable 42m 07s finish time.
HS - well done re your 6.25ml forest run. Hope you didn't get thundered upon during your 800m reps this evening (no thunder here yet). We've been moved almost a year but I still haven't sorted out a new local dentist - I must be saving money in the meantime!
Red - sorry to hear your sad news about your friend dying in hospital with throat cancer.
MWW - where I used to work (Bristol aka. Brizzle) they would describe HS's forest run as 'gert lush'
Matsmum - some people seem to finish a HM without niggles. At least my problem was just cramp and (I think) self-inflicted through not taking on enough fluid.
Last night's handicap race was good fun but my time was slower (43:39 vs. 42.02). Its a 3 lap race .. I set off too fast on the first lap, slowed a bit on lap 2 but managed to speed up again on lap 3 and catch the runner in front of me in the last 100 metres. We won't get the results until the weekend as the guy who organises the race is away on business for a few days.

Harley Marine Services orders 4 new Sister-class petroleum barges from Conrad Shipyards of Morgan City, Lousiana.
Each double-hulled unit has a carrying capacity of 30,000 barrels and measures 297 feet in length. Once completed the barges will enter the Harley Marine Gulf fleet and service customers in the United States Gulf Region.
The barges were designed by Conrad Industries with input from Harley Marine's management team to ensure internal and regulatory performance requirements were not only met but exceeded. Each barge will be built with the most technically and environmentally advanced equipment available to meet the specific needs of Harley Marine's customers and expanding business markets.
Each barge has a molded beam of 54 feet and a molded depth of 12 feet. The 30,000 barrel barges are outfitted with six cargo compartments as well as an environmentally friendly vapor recovery and return system. Onboard machinery includes two Byron Jackson cargo pumps and two Cummins 6CTA8, 270 horsepower engines. The four barges will also be equipped with Bergan Guard high level and overfill alarm systems with magnetic tank level gauges.
Harley Marine Services will name three of the four barges after 14 year old triplets living with cystic fibrosis, an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of roughly 30,000 children and adults living in the United States. The first three will be named Jared Joseph, Nicholas Ray, and Allison Jane to commemorate these three young children living with this devastating disease. The last will be named after a young girl, Maci Bryan who is just ten years old, also living with cystic fibrosis. Harley Marine is very proud and honored to name these barges after such young fighters and survivors of cystic fibrosis, and we will continue "Cruisin' For a Cure" until we can proudly name a barge "Cure Found".

I just got this game the other day, and holy crap... It's the best game
I've played this year! My older, more charming Prince is back! Don't
get me wrong. I liked him in WW, but he was such a more interesting
character in SoT and T2T. I got my wish, for the prince is no longer
that badass wearing nearly nothing at all. He is now the smart-ass
prince we all knew and loved! The speed kills add a whole new look to
the game, Speed Kills allow you to take out your opponent before he
even knows you're there as long as you hit the buttons at the right
time, of course. If you fail to do this, then you will have to fight
all of the enemies normally, for they will all now be fully alerted.
Overall, like I said, it's the best game I've played this year, in my eyes. Please, if you can, go buy this game, it is a really great game, or at least rent it and give it a try. Either way you'll have a blast!
This is the first video game I've ever rated or commented on, but this
game was so cool I had to put in my two cents. I don't play video games
much at all, but every two years or so I will get the jones to play a
game. I'd say the past ten years or so it has been discouraging because
these video games are so difficult to learn and play. I grew up on
Atari and Nintendo when you had just a couple of buttons and very
simple tasks. Once Super Nintendo came on the scene my video game days
were almost over.
Even still, I decided to give Prince of Persia a shot. Bear in mind, I chose this video game solely based upon a t.v. commercial. I'm not in tuned with video games and the latest and hottest, I just pick up what I see advertised. I knew that I was going to have trouble, but I stuck in there and eventually I got the hang of it.... Scratch that... eventually I GOT ADDICTED. I took the game to work, I played endlessly trying to beat that game. I couldn't put it down it was so captivating. The graphics were awesome, the movements were smooth and cool, and the fact that his fighting was hand to hand combat instead of shooting just made it that much better. He had kill moves that could be done with button combos which reminded me of my Street Fighter 2 days, and that speed kill feature is off da hook, crazy nice. There was a good story that went along with the game. The different obstacles and moves were just difficult enough to where I couldn't overcome them the first time around, but they weren't so difficult that I had to give up. Fighting the opponents was the same, and when the prince turned into the Dark Prince the fun was just beginning.
Like I said, I have very little reference for a good game versus a bad one, but this game was lovely. I eventually beat it in what was a short time for me (it had to have been weeks). The ending was even amazing, and I didn't know that games had credits longer than most movies.
its a wonderful continuation of the pop series and presents a befitting end to the series.The prince looks great as ever and the various new features which are present in this game add an extra spice to it.The speed kill system is wonderful and makes the job quite easy for the prince,also in this game i cant recall a single instant where the game presented bad camera angles as are present in the previous two games.The game play is although pretty much similar to the previous two games but the platforming in this one is really great.There is one more added attraction in this game that is chariot racing which is quite nail biting stuff.Also in this game there aren't any monotonous boss fights as were in the pop warrior within.All in all a wonderful gaming experience,a must play for everyone and i give it a well deserved 9.5/10.
Yes, this game is the final installment for this particular prince of Persia, a new one is waiting in the wings. However, as far as this prince is concerned this is the best game he is in. The reason, it does the best job incorporating the fighting and the acrobatics the best of the three. Basically, the fighting is fun and you have plenty of the wall running to really keep you entertained. Throw into that more boss fights than the previous two installments could muster and a nice little change in the prince as he becomes a dark self. It even has the addition of stealth kills that are easy to do and look very cool. The game is a bit short though, and the way it picked up with the sorceress of time alive as she died on the only play through I did in Warrior Within. Which means you should not make your game multiple ending and pick up only one of the possible endings in the next installment. So here we have an old villain emerge, an old ally emerge and a very dark side of the prince emerge. The dark prince side is rather cool and can slice and dice opponents very effectively. His main drawback is that water is a weakness of his and he slowly but surely runs out of health. Still he can replenish it by killing enemies and he does that quite well. The regular prince is still effective to at what he does and fighting and stealth kills are his thing too. You do not go over the same territory in this one like in Within so the game remains fresh. There is a chariot race like scene in this one, but not that great. It is okay, but it does not really add anything. So for my money all in all this is the best of the three prince of Persia games.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Story: I love the storyline of this game. It picks up from the
predecessor in the Prince Of Persia: Sands of Time series (Warrior
Within), this being the third game. I'll stick to the basics of the
plot. The Prince returns to his homeland on a ship with Kaileena, the
Empress of Time, whose fate he managed to change by messing with the
sands time or likewise. Upon arriving at shore, expecting peace and
harmony, he rather sees that his homeland has been ravaged by war and
chaos. Flaming arrows are flying everywhere, the ship gets torn up and
burned. Cut to our hero floating on a piece of board a la Titanic, and
the girl gets washed ashore, kicked by a brute checking if she's alive,
and taken away. And so begins our journey.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are just grand. Very crisp, detailed. The colours work great, the settings look pretty cool. The characters all look defined and the enemies are sweet. Though, occasionally, some areas will have a bit too much blend in a situation where this becomes an impairment. But only a few times.
Audio: The audio is excellent, I like the narration and the personal comments from the Prince. The interactions with the Dark Prince are class. The music has a dramatic, old-school feel to it, fits the game nicely. Voice acting is spot-on.
Gameplay: Takes a little while to get the hang of. This game plays out fairly smoothly, the environments are very interactive which is a quality I demand in a good action-adventure style game. The agility of the Prince is great fun when moving through the game and for incorporating into battles (more later), the combos kick ass. When you're playing as the Dark Prince (Prince has been 'infected' so to speak), you have totally different combos and weaponry, as the Dark Prince has a dagger-chain weapon embedded in his arm that you can manipulate, including to drag and drill enemies with (reminiscent of Scorpion from the Mortal Kombat series). Having detailed basic interactive abilities like switching sides on ladders, ledge-shimmying, a take on 'tight-rope' scenarios, stealing weaponry, wall-running & wall-jumping complete with transitions and jumps, and being able to use the environment in battle is sweet. On the other side, I find using the right analog constantly to adjust your line of vision to be annoying and a bit dizzying personally, and there are a few areas where you may be at a total loss as to what to do/where to go next and how. That's to be expected, it's an adventure game with puzzle elements. In any case, thank goodness for save points (though they're not incredibly frequent), unlimited retries/continues, and good old' GameFAQs.com.
Positives: Basically everything I discussed. Good storyline, great graphics, very smooth and fun game-play, audio is ace. Bosses are fair, tricky. I also get a good kick out of the attacks I manage to do without having figured them out, my favorite being taking any size normal enemy and head-tossing them at a wall or off a cliff. As for the Dark Prince, the Daggertail is quite entertaining.
Negatives: The only negatives I can figure from this game are constantly having to use the right analog stick, the mild feeling of motion sickness that constantly switching views gives me after a while, and the fact that when you start out playing it's very easy to make a mistake and jump to your doom. Did that a lot. Even later in the game, just from mixing up what I should do next (as I said, yay for GameFAQs, though I try not to spoil myself). Turning back time is quite a neat ability. I try not to be overly picky about video-games, so that's really the only note-worthy minus points I could gather.
Overall: 9 out of 10.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Two Thrones (TTT) is the final chapter in the Sands of Time
trilogy. It begins weeks after the events of Warrior Within. The still
unnamed Prince along with his lover Kaileena arrives at his home.
Expecting a warm welcome, he is instead shocked to see his home ravaged
by war.
After a crash landing, the Prince sees Kaileena being captured and rushes in to save her. To his shock the evil Vizier is alive and responsible for the carnage (since the Prince stopped the Sands of Time from ever being created, the events of SOT never happened). He is stopped by one of the Vizier's men who entraps his hand with a dagger tail.
The Vizier then kills Kaileena with the Dagger of Time, releasing the Sands of Time once again and then stabs himself, becoming an immortal god. The Prince is also affected, having the dagger tail embedded in his skin when the Sands infect the wound. However, the Vizier drops the Dagger and the Prince manages to steal it and escape before he is totally infected by the Sands.
He finds out that the Sands of Time have affected his mind becoming two personalities:, one who tries to do good but is full of vengeance and the Dark Prince who often mocks him. Their inner 'monologues' are the most fun part of the story. He also takes control of Prince's body during certain scripted sequences, i.e. you cannot turn into Dark Prince whenever you want.
Similar to SOT, TTT takes place in confined environments as the Prince uses acrobatic skills to navigate the environment from A to B. Parkour is more refined than ever. However like SOT, the level design returns to a linear approach. So if you've missed the health upgrades you cannot go back unlike WW.
The camera is still problematic, and you cannot press the overview button unless indicated.
The biggest changes are:-
1. The speed-kill system. The Prince can use stealth to his advantage when behind or above enemies, initiating a quick time event to silently kill them and continue his acrobatic adventures.
But combat suffers as it is now a last resort. The Prince is slow and is barely able to defeat Sand monsters, compared to WW where he was god of death incarnate. The number of secondary weapons and combat moves has been reduced significantly and no blood and gore. Just to summarize - avoid combat this time unless the game forces you.
2. Playing as the Dark Prince. BORING. The Dark Prince - similar to the Sand Wraith in WW - loses health over time and has to be constantly 'recharged' by killing enemies and destroying stuff. The acrobatic and speed kill abilities are improved due to the dagger tail, but combat still sucks, you cannot equip secondary weapons and you just have to wave your chain around to win.
You still have the Sands of Time to undo your mistakes should you make too many and Sand powers. Six Sand Tanks this time too.
TTT takes the throne (pun intended) for dumbest story ever. Reasons:
1. Farah is still a whiny girl who doesn't listen to anyone, especially the Prince despite being in HIS homeland and still orders him around. She doesn't have her medallion but is still unaffected by the Sands.
2. So are the common people, which makes the whole story about the Prince's redemption fall flat.
The Kindred Blades, the original concept abandoned due to stupid fan-boy complaints. After seeing the trailer and game play footage, I found it better than the Two Thrones in certain aspects.
1. After reaching Babylon, the Prince and Kaileena find a war zone. The Prince fights the enemies but since Kaileena is alive, he cannot use his Sand abilities, is overwhelmed. Kaileena commits suicide, unleashing the Sands of Time again. The Prince is seen chained and screaming.
2. The Dark Prince manifests when the Prince comes in contact with fire. He is more deadly and brutal and doesn't look like a freak, he has a golden glow similar to a Sand monster. He still has the dagger tail but doesn't lose his health. You could also equip secondary weapons as well.
Use fire to transform into the Dark Prince and water to transform back WHENEVER you want.
3. On the streets of Babylon you are the hunted. But on the rooftops you become the hunter.
4. Two endings depending on whether you select the Prince or the Dark Prince.
Anyways, the game has its trademark platforming, graphics, and Arabian nights inspired soundtrack. While the story and combat suck this time and playing as the Dark Prince is disappointing, the game is still good. It could have been something greater, but chose to play it safe.
This completes the new series, and takes the consequence of the ones before it, similar to how Warrior Within(the saving method of which this retains) built on the first. It has elements of both of them, and adds quite a lot(and far more than aforementioned earlier sequel). You may still wield two weapons, but now the choice of the other one... sword, mace, dagger or axe... affects the way you do so, in the range, force, etc. of the blows. There are still many different ones within those four kinds. The Free Form Fighting System is also still in use, so spamming powerful attacks is still possible, however, this comes closer to The Sands of Time in the combat, with more strategy and tactics necessary, among other things because of those archers... arrows in general are present in this, and they are very welcome. The battles are longer and tougher, and do not get tedious like they did in the one immediately preceding this. Making things interesting is also the fact that you no longer use a lengthy blade as usual... and I will leave it at that, lest I spoil something. One can also tell that the good people at Ubisoft had Splinter Cell on their mind... a couple of the new moves are right out of those, and stealth is a genuine option at several places. They make it work, and it doesn't stand out as (much as) one might think. Speed Kills are part of this... and no, that's not a campaign telling us to slow down on the freeway, nor one against that particular drug. It's a way to take out opponents, typically when they aren't yet aware of your proximity, and all you truly need is to get the timing right, albeit the first time you try the specific ones, before you know what's coming, you will have to react split-second, as well as not get trigger-happy. It works impeccably well, and really adds to this. The Bosses vary, but at their best, they're incredible. The plot is great, picking up where the last one left off, confirming which of the endings they used, and taking you through one place that had yet to be visited in these three... The Prince's home, Babylon. Only it's not how he remembers it, and you'll soon find out why. The idea is magnificent, and making your way through the city is entertaining. As a character, he grows and develops a lot in this, and this really does close this version, these post-2000 entries, well. The voice acting is all satisfactory. Yuri is back, and thankfully, he left the vast majority of the emo back in the first one, but he did bring the humor with him, as well as what comes of his inner talks with his... other half(who's got a nasty case of cynicism). Yes. In this, you also get to control the Dark side of the leading man sometimes, who's stronger, but whose life gradually drains, one of the aspects of this making for serious tension. Does the word Daggertail mean anything to you? Once you've gotten to use it in this, it definitely will. It is a lot of fun, downright addictive, and a marvelous spice for the squaring off against enemies(and it can be used at points for maneuvering, marvelous). You once again get to use the special abilities. The chariot racing is pure awesomeness captured perfectly. The foes are relatively diverse, and less annoying than those of WW. The camera is a little limited, compared to the ones before this, and the panoramic view is less available, and once or twice, even kinda phoned in. The story-telling is similar to SoT. This gets you into it the fastest, and is also the shortest of them. There are graphic glitches and even bugs beyond the others, and it is sadly not as stable, either. This can be disturbing, though it is not as bleak as the second one. There are grotesque creatures herein. The tone is a mix of the others. The style is achieved well, and this uses slow-motion rather well. This also requires patience, reflexes, fingers adept at VG's, and time. The AI is nice, in that they all respond and act the way you'd expect them to. The re-playability is reasonable, you earn Sand Credits as you go, and if you get them all, you will unlock everything, in all of the artwork galleries. And you may just gain something else, as well. The videos(sadly, sans subtitles, although mostly, you can tell what's said) become available upon completion, all but one are the ones you watched along the way in this, and that one is an absolutely hilarious, if criminally brief, gag reel. The cut-scenes are well-done, and can be fairly effective. The CGI is utterly stunning. The animation and look of everything is fantastic. The level design is perhaps the tiniest step down from earlier in these, here and there, but overall it remains at the high quality of them. They utilize the new moves and acrobatics unbelievably well. The puzzles are still well-done, and this can be challenging, and should satisfy a decent range of people, with three difficulty settings. Do you like those ledges that fall off after you step on them? Well, they've made a triumphant return. The audio is well-done, everything sounds the way it should, and the music is nice. The heavy metal of the middle chapter is gone. The attitude towards nudity in this is the same as the earlier two, but it does somehow seem less provocative. The violence is debatable, but there is some blood. There is next to no gore. Language is nonexistent. I recommend this, and the entire franchise up to this point(the pre-beginning of new millennium-ones are immensely well-done, as well, they just happen to be old, and you can tell), to any fan of action-adventure titles, anyone who enjoys the culture, and all who appreciate swordsmanship in games. 8/10
The Two Thrones is the third and last installment in the Prince of
Persia trilogy that started three years ago with the astonishing Sands
of Time, a game that turned the popular 2D platform series into a
complete and spectacular 3D adventure. Jumping, swinging, grasping,
hanging off ledges, solving puzzles and graceful combat made up for one
of the best games I ever played. Now I know that many people weren't
too happy with the dark and grim atmosphere in Warrior Within, but I
was actually quite satisfied with this new style. The extremely
spectacular free-fight system that came with it, allowing the player to
battle up to 6 enemies at the same time, was especially noteworthy, as
well as the great storyline that kept twisting and turning in
unexpected ways.
The Two Thrones returns to the sunny style of SoT, with minimal bloodshed and less body parts flying around. The Prince has defied death on the Island of Time, and is returning to his hometown of Babylon, only to find a fierce army murdering and looting its way through the city. It doesn't take long for the Prince to once again go on a quest to destroy evil and restore peace. The Sands of Time, however, have altered him slightly, causing him to change into a dark alter ego, the Dark Prince, from time to time. This is a nice way of bringing some innovation to the game play, as the Dark Prince makes use of a particularly vicious razor-chain, that allows him to make long jumps and dispose of his enemies much more efficiently. Yet, it does not revolutionize the game play as much as I hoped for. Changing into the Dark Prince happens when the story calls for it, not when the player wants it. Life energy slowly diminishes when playing the Dark Prince, which gives a certain amount of pressure to move and waste enemies fast in order to replenish energy quickly, but we already saw something like this in WW, when playing as the Sand Wraith. Other innovations include the speed kills, which enables the player to kill an enemy with a few strokes, and adds a little stealth to the existing game play. It is nice that you can use this techniques to quickly get rid of a few enemies when you are faced with many, but there isn't much variation in speed kill moves, and it takes away a lot of opportunity to go into an adrenalin-pumping free-fight frenzy. Speed kills become much more varied and useful when fighting the mini-bosses, and the resulting battles are quite spectacular to see.
The same can be said from the chariot races that you can do once every while. But just like the Dark Prince appearances, they come only incidentally and they're over just when they become fun. Most of these innovations feel like nice extras instead of fully integrated new parts of the game play, like the 3D platform action and free-fight system.
There are more aspects of the game that give the impression that development of TT was slightly rushed. The story is very straightforward this time, and lacks most of the exiting twists that were so prominent in SoT and WW. As a result, the game is only half as long as Warrior and can be finished in mere days instead of weeks. The graphics and FMVs are okay most of the time, but the in-game cut-scenes look at best five year old. Did production run out of polygons? When not playing as the Dark Prince or riding a chariot, I found that jumping and running along walls was getting a bit monotonous after the two previous games; difficult puzzles are scarce, and finding solutions to situations becomes increasingly simple, with only speed kills offering some variance most of the time. The influence of Jordan Mechner, who wrote history with the original PoP and rewrote it with SoT, is dearly missed at some times.
But as harsh as this all may sound, by no means does this make TT a bad game; it merely prevents this game from becoming a masterpiece like SoT and (to a lesser degree) WW. Although the thrills I got from playing its predecessors were a bit absent, I still got a good time playing TT. Even though not masterly, it is at the very least competently made.
The only bad thing about this game is the bloody conflict between his
inner "bad" self and his "good" self, now you think "but hey, isn't
that what the game is all about?" you are most certainly right my
friends, but that is not what i mean. You can only be the dark prince
when you must, there is no choice here.
Good prince :"hm i sure could use a chain here" ZAAAAAAAAP, "yeah baby I'm ready and I'm a dark prince but not really evil because i kill just like the good prince" But surely he must be evil, he is wearing black (well his body is). I hope you understand my point, its kind of silly.
This game would have been the best of the three (with the sands of time theme) if you would have more choice, if you could chose your destiny.
Anyway, it looks really great and like a fairy tale, but i personally like sands of time and warrior within more for their ambient graphics.
The "speed kill" which is new, is the most welcome addition to the game in my opinion, it adds some need for timing and skill. No new skills, the only skills that you will probably need is rewind and slow-mo.
This game could have needed some more time in the plot-making factory and the skill-creating office, otherwise a really really fun game to play.
If you are a fan of pop, do buy this game. If not, still buy it :), at least play the demo or rent it.

okay first of all what happened to the bad ass Kalina she is now an old whore who is aways calm but in the second game she was evil twist did whatever the *bleep* she wanted she didn't care who she hurt or how it was done she would do anything to save herself. next is the prince himself he was sissified since the second game now he is stupid and who ever voices him should burn inf *bleeping* hell! the awesome sound track from the second is replaced with the worst band in history maybe i did make the mistake of playing the second game first but it did rule. i really tried to like this game but i just couldn't. but there is no fun in this game this game is garbage and the controls suck and the camera is bad when you try to move it up or down and the story is the worst of the seris.

Seattle, WAUSA
Hometown: Seattle
December 2, 2012
I always knew I was perceptive, have been told or overheard others comment (in a positive way) on how sensitive I am, had a manager tell me I feel things more deeply than most people and I get big energy drains w/ too much time in large groups. I also learned that I have a biologically higher emotional baseline than most people. I prefer a small group of close friends to a huge group of acquaintances, but that doesn't preclude quite a few friends that I meet with one-on-one or different small groups at different times. It's the quality vs. quantity I value. I discovered this group via an email on Awareness, Perception and Intuition. I found this group via a link of that site.
I'm pretty sure I read "The Highly Sensitive Person" many years ago, but I don't know if I still have it.
I find it hard to live in a culture where extroverts substantially outnumber introverts. It's more challenging to meet introverted friends--we don't always get out much! :-) I've been to large meet-ups where I ended up having to go home, keep the lights off, all noise (music, TV) and lie in bed to recover. I'm much better now at gauging what I can handle before I hit that point. Extroverts don't understand why I react more emotionally to comments, events, etc. I get hurt easily sometimes whereas a non-HSP person just lets things roll off their backs. And I also have a challenge maintaing small talk for very long.
Theater, exploring Seattle neighborhoods, window shopping in our funky neighborhoods, hiking (once I'm back in shape), going to the beach (I LOVE Golden Gardens, but there's lots of other great beaches AND parks to wander), playing board games, hosting small dinner parties, finding unique restaurants and other unique places I didn't know were there.
All of the above. I'd love to be around other people like me and understand how it affects them and how they handle it. Also reading a good book occasionally and sharing insights and reactions.
Am looking for other HSPs and be social!
Glad I made it to this. I'm learning a lot about myself and getting some good information about living in this culture as an HSP. Eileen C.
