Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/6/2013 (1528 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Tim Burt was preaching to the choir at a recent luncheon where he was the guest speaker.
Like him, most of the attendees were investment analysts.
So they were well-versed in Burt's topic, the basics of value investing -- an investment philosophy made famous by Warren Buffett.
Considered one of the world's most successful investors, with the vast wealth to back it up, Buffett earned his nickname the Oracle of Omaha because of his ability to buy undervalued companies that eventually become highly valued ones.
Although a familiar subject for Burt's audience, considering the luncheon was a Winnipeg CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst Society) gathering, a good portion would also know his take on the investment philosophy well, since he probably has had a hand in their careers at one time or another. Some may have taken the securities-analysis course Burt taught at the University of Manitoba more than a decade ago. Others are employed at his firm Cardinal Capital Management, or at least have been in the past.
At the very least, every one of them is familiar with his story.
Burt is one of the elder statesmen in Winnipeg's investment analyst community. He has almost 40 years in the business, and for more than 20 of them, he has been building one of the most successful independent investment houses in the city's history. Today, Cardinal Capital manages more than $1.5 billion -- all the while emulating Buffett's conservative technique of selecting stocks to build wealth over the long-term.
Although value investing is foundational subject matter for investment analysts, its principles can be a revelation for amateur investors looking to improve their investment knowledge.
So after the lunchtime talk, Burt spoke with the Free Press to offer some insights about the market philosophy that has made himself, Buffett and countless others successful long-term investors.
"Value investing is trying to determine a fair value for a stock using various metrics, or quantitative tools, and based on that analysis, determining whether the stock is a good buy or not," Burt says.
It's more than just buying low and selling high -- though that is ultimately the goal of any investment style.
And value investing stands in stark contrast to its flashier cousin, growth-style investing, which is largely based on forecasting if a fast-growing company will continue to have high growth.
Rather, value investors generally avoid companies that have rapidly rising and high-flying stock prices, such as Tesla and Lululemon Athletica.
Electric luxury carmaker Tesla, for example, is only now turning a small profit, yet its stock price has almost quadrupled in the last year to nearly $100 a share.
Yoga-wear maker Lululemon hasn't had quite as dramatic a rise of late, but its stock price, in the $60-something range, is still considered expensive by value investors -- even after losing a chunk of its value this week when its CEO resigned.
They still consider its stock price inflated because, for example, its price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) is in the 30s.
For those unfamiliar with this stock measurement, the P/E ratio is the most widely used metric in value investing. Often referred to as "multiples," it measures how much investors are willing to pay for every dollar of a company's earnings.
The higher the P/E, the more likely the stock price is overvalued. Determining how high is high requires comparing a company's P/E to its competitors. In the case of Lululemon, other apparel makers have P/Es in the teens, so to value investors, the company's stock seems pricey.
"The difference between an undervalued stock and an overvalued stock is really market psychology," Burt says. "It's how investors feel about those companies, and as investors are more optimistic, they tend to overprice stock. As investors become more pessimistic, they tend to undervalue stocks."
Value investors aim to buy the undervalued stocks. These are companies with good earnings and bright futures, but their stock price doesn't yet reflect these qualities.
Typically, value investors look for stocks with P/Es lower than stocks in the same sector. Yet this metric alone is by no means a perfect measure of a stock's value.
A company can have good earnings, a low stock price and, as a result, a low relative P/E value. But investors could have a good reason to be lukewarm about the stock. A firm might be profitable now, but the consensus is its future is bleak.
For instance, Research in Motion (now BlackBerry) had good earnings just two years ago even though it was already being clobbered by Apple, Samsung and others. Even though its share price had been in free fall, it remained profitable. As a result, the Canadian tech firm's P/E made it appear to be a bargain, at least until it reported losses last year, which nullifies the P/E measurement altogether.
Burt says companies with a falling P/E ratio, such as BlackBerry, may be "in a death spiral."
That doesn't mean they are down and out. Sometimes they recover like Apple. Once on its deathbed, Apple became one of the world's most profitable publicly traded stocks. But recovery is rare.
Sorting the bargains from the soon-to-be failures is where the real work begins for value investors. They get down to the finer details about a company's current and future positions relative to its competitors and ignore the manic pricing of investor psychology.
"It (valuation) is a pendulum. It swings back and forth from one extreme to the other -- from over-valuation to undervaluation," Burt says.
"That's not just true with individual stocks, it's true with the stock market. That's why you see low valuations at bear-market bottoms like March 9, 2009."
When it comes to markets, however, value investors are largely agnostic. They largely don't care whether markets go up or down -- at least over the short term. Their concern is about the companies they own.
They look for companies with good track records of steady growth, often with long histories of increasing dividends.
"We're not market timers. We don't sit on cash. We're always fully invested," he says.
This is because even when the market looks over-valued, it can always go higher longer than anyone can predict. In other words, you could sit on the sidelines waiting for a crash that may never come.
"At the same time, if you stay in the markets and they continue to go up, you're going to benefit," he says.
"And then if they drop 20 per cent, at least it's a good opportunity to buy more stocks."

Had quite a busy day Saturday. Started off making some home-made Jimmy Dean style Breakfast links (5lbs)
Then 5lbs of cheddar brats
Threw on 2 racks of ribs. One with Dizzy Pig, one 50/50 salt and pepper
Some ABTs
Some Corn
Wasn't planning on cooking the brats, but more people ended up coming so I had to add extra protein (and I was a bit curious)
We also cooked up some of our venison jalapeno cheese sausage. Unfortunately these were the last of my pics. I was so busy, I never stopped to eat all day, and then the bourbon started flowing and I sort of forgot to take any finished pics. From what I do remember, I wasn't a big fan of the salt and pepper ribs. Sure, it works for brisket, but I think pork really benefits from some sweet and heat. Everything got devoured and for once, there were hardly any leftovers. Good night, but I was exhausted by the end.

MORE weather misery is set to sweep across Dorset on Friday and Saturday with wind and rain warnings issued across the county.
After more storms earlier this week, the Met Office has issued amber and yellow rain and wind warnings for Friday and Saturday.
Check out our February 2014 storm pictures here
The amber rain warning lasts from 6am until 2pm on Friday covering Dorset with a yellow warning for Bournemouth and Poole in place from 4am on Friday until 6am on Saturday.
The amber wind warning is in place from 6pm on Friday until 10am on Saturday.
A spokesperson said about the amber rain warning: "A spell of heavy rain is expected to affect much of Cornwall, south and east Devon, along with parts of Somerset and Dorset during Friday morning, clearing to the east during the afternoon. 15-25 mm of rain will fall widely within the Amber warning area with 40 mm possible in a few places.
"The public should be prepared for further disruption due to both surface water and river flooding.
"This warning should be viewed alongside the wider yellow warning."
Regarding the wind warning, a spokesperson said: "A further period of very strong winds is possible across southern and southeastern counties of England from Friday afternoon, overnight into Saturday morning.
"Gusts of 70 mph are likely in the Amber warning area with isolated 80 mph gusts possible along most exposed parts of the south coast. Winds will ease from the west during Saturday morning.
The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel as well as trees being uprooted and perhaps damage to buildings.
"The very strong winds will be accompanied by large waves along the south coast and the public should also be aware of these potentially dangerous conditions and also the possibility of coastal flooding.
"This warning accompanies a larger yellow warning and has been issued as there is now more confidence in the evolution of the system leading to a medium risk of significant impacts.
"Yet another storm has developed to the west of the Azores. It will run northeastwards across western and northern parts of the UK during Friday and into Saturday, before clearing to the northeast.
"Around the southern flank of this storm very strong southerly or southwesterly winds are expected to develop, primarily affecting southern and southeastern counties of England.
"There remains some uncertainty in the track and timings of this system but gusts of 60-70 mph are possible with perhaps 80 mph along most exposed parts of the south coast.
"With these strong winds some large waves are also likely along the south coast and there is the potential for some coastal flooding where this coincides with high tides."
Residents have been urged to avoid steps leading from Alum Chine to West Overcliff Drive due to a fallen tree and the Avon Causeway was also closed due to flooding.
A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "For the Dorset coastline there is a HIGH flood risk on Friday and Saturday due to a combination of large waves, high tides and gale force onshore winds.
"Elsewhere along most of the south coast of England, there is a LOW flood risk from coastal flooding on Friday and Saturday.
"Impacts are likely to include spray and wave over-topping in localised areas, with the risk to life and the further degradation of natural sea defences in Dorset.
"There is also a LOW groundwater flood risk in Dorset and much of south-east England through the next three days, increasing to MEDIUM flood risk on Friday onwards in Dorset."
Get the latest forecast here
Tonight, Dorset County Council has issued the following information:
Residents are being warned to prepare for more heavy rain and strong winds this weekend, with coastal areas particularly at risks.
Gale force winds and large waves are set to batter the Dorset coastline overnight Friday and into Saturday, and the Chiswell area of Portland is again facing the prospect of flooding.
The latest band of extreme weather will hit the south west tomorrow (Friday, February 14).
And Dorset County Council is working with partners including the Environment Agency, district and borough councils, the NHS, Highways Agency and the emergency services to prepare for the possible impacts on local communities.
Waves up to ten metres high are set to crash onto beaches, promenades and coastal paths at high tide, which could put lives at risk if people get too close.
Residents in Chiswell are being contacted directly about the possibility of flooding, and the Portland Heights Hotel is again being stood up as an emergency rest centre if people there need to evacuate their homes.
Portland Beach Road and Preston Beach Road in Weymouth will be closely monitored by the county council's highways team in case flooding forces temporary closures tomorrow night.
Further inland, ground water and surface water issues will again be an issue due to heavy downpours. Motorists are advised to take extra care and check Travel Dorset.com for regular updates.
Simon Parker, the county council's emergency planning officer, said: "We're preparing for another onslaught of weather this weekend. People should expect their day to be different, and act accordingly.
"We have rest centres on standby in case we need to evacuate people from their homes. Residents should prepare for flooding in the affected areas and remember to bring any prescription medication with them if they are evacuated.
"Drivers need to check their routes and give themselves more time. If road users cannot avoid driving through water then take care and drive slowly to avoid damaging vehicles and creating waves that flood nearby properties."

text: Antonio Alfonso, Kapitall: Utility stocks attract investors seeking solid dividend yields. Are any of these companies worth a closer look? The utilities sector has struggled this year as interest rates rose through the summer. Companies have weathered the volatility in different ways, but the overall sell-off could possibly create a buying opportunity. Especially when you take into account the Federal Reserve's decision to continue its easy money programs. Duke Energy (DUK) is one industry staple. Its dividend yield of about 4.6% can bring stable returns for risk-averse investors. With debt ratios better than the sector average, the company can do well even in an environment of rising interest rates. And the company recently announced new wind energy projects in Texas, which may be online starting in 2015. Click on the image below to see data over time. Also poised to do shine in the current environment could be DTE Energy (DTE), with debt ratio of 1.05. The company's dividend yield at the moment is about 3.94%, which is considered healthy. However, since DTE recently moved below its 200 day moving average, investors should at least be wary in the short term. DTE's reports earnings on October 21, a time which some analysts and investors use to re-examine a stock. Click on the image below to see data over time. National Grid (NGG) is yet another utility stock with a strong reputation. The UK-based company has shown an upward trend in earnings per share, as well as its dividend over the past few years. But investors have been wary of its fairly high debt ratios. While National Grid's profit margins are solid, some investors may wonder how well it can perform in the short run. Click on the image below to see data over time. Overall, the utilities sector has been hurt this year thanks in part to expected interest rate increases. Since the Fed delayed tapering, the industry could perform well, at least until rates rise. While debt levels in some companies could be worrisome, which is to be expected, the sector can provide a nice dividend for investors seeking income over time.

ROCKLIN, Calif. - The No. 16 Lady Mustangs wrapped up play in the 2012 William Jessup Tournament with force on Saturday, September 8, posting two three-set victories over Menlo and Daemen (NY).

Sophomore setter Alyssa Gergins (Woodland Hills, CA) tallied a game-high 35 assists and Rebecca Peluffo (La Crescenta, CA) recorded 17 defensive digs.
TMC battled throughout the first set and finally won by two points. Set one showcased five ties and an unanswered 8-0 run by TMC. The Mustangs hit .244 in the second set and held the Oaks to 0.77 for a 25-20 win. Set three concluded with a 25-20 win for TMC and was highlighted by 15 kills.

Set two remained close as the Lady Mustangs maintained a four-six point lead for the remainder of the match. The Mustangs went on to win 25-20 with a decisive kill by Ashley Newton. Saturday's match-clinching set belonged to the Mustangs from the beginning as TMC notched nine kills and a collective .188 hitting percentage. A kill by Torri Callihan off an assist from Alyssa Gergins put the Mustangs up 25-22 and secured the game and match.
Coach Blanken's squad was led by Sam Dougherty's 14 kills. Tori Callihan and Ashely Newton had eight kills each. Also highlighting the box score was Rebecca Peluffo and Alyssa Gergins who both finished with 12 digs.

The Texas Rangers announced today that Hickory Crawdads catcher Kellin Deglan has been promoted to the High-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans, becoming the 10th 'Dad this season to move up in the Rangers
Deglan, 22, leaves the Crawdads after leading all South Atlantic League catchers in home runs (15), RBI (60), and total bases (152), while batting .251 for the 'Dads this season. A 1st round selection by the Texas Rangers in the 2010 MLB Draft, Deglan also led all SAL catchers in several defensive statistics including games caught (82), assists (94), and putouts (666).
The British Columbia native spent parts of three seasons in Hickory (2011 - '12, '14) and ranks as the 'Dads all-time leader in games caught (233), putouts by a catcher (1,899), assists by a catcher (231), and double plays by a catcher (16), while setting a Hickory single-season record with a .987 fielding percentage and 94 assists this year. Deglan also ranks among the all-time Crawdads leaders in doubles (2nd - 61), games played (3rd - 270), RBI (3rd - 140), runs (4th - 131), hits (4th - 223), and home runs (6th - 33).

Citizen Science: Monitoring Bay Checkerspot Butterflies
Friends of Edgewood
Daily Event: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM (PDT)
Join trained citizen scientists as they carefully look for and count Bay checkerspot butterflies as part of the reintroduction effort at Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve. You will enjoy brilliant displays of wildflowers as you walk through butterfly habitat that is normally off-limits to the public.
This walk covers approximately 3 miles of moderately sloping terrain. You will be off-trail on uneven ground that may be wet or muddy. Bring water, a hat, sturdy shoes, and sunscreen. In order to prevent introducing non-native plant species to this sensitive area, your shoes should be clean of soil and seeds. This walk is geared to adults, but capable, attentive children 10 years and older are welcome if accompanied by an adult. Heavy rain cancels.
Meet at the Clarkia Trailhead on Canada Road. If you are coming along I-280, exit at Edgewood Road and head west toward the mountains. Turn left at Canada Road and continue under the freeway overpass. Park on the dirt strip on the freeway side of Canada Road just south of the I-280 onramp.
Please visit Friends of Edgewood for information about other events at Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve.
Friends of Edgewood aims to protect and celebrate Edgewood County Park and Natural Preserve as a unique treasure by promoting exemplary stewardship, and by reaching out with informative public programs. Visit FriendsofEdgewood.org.

Headed to trial; Man accused of fatal stabbing at Trinidad RV park
EUREKA- The man accused of fatally stabbing a 24-year-old at a Trinidad RV park will be held to answer in court a judge ruled Wednesday. Larry Clinton Morrow, 33, is accused of stabbing Jessie Ruiz multiple times and killing him after a fight on Jan. 10. He has plead not guilty previously to felony voluntary manslaughter with a deadly weapon.
Humboldt County Superior Court Judge Marilyn Miles said there was enough evidence presented in the preliminary hearing to hold the case for trial.
In court, Morrow's attorney argued he had acted in self defense and the case was a justifiable homicide. The defense argued that the victim, Ruiz, was drunk that night, had demonstrated violent behavior earlier and was known to carry a knife. He argued that Morrow had warned Ruiz several times before he entered the RV, giving him enough time to leave.
Deputy District Attorney Kelly Neel argued that Morrow was the aggressor in the fight and did not need protection from Ruiz who was attempting to get inside to sleep. Neel said Morrow had a violent past and was conducting himself in a way that was "dangerous to human life."
In court Wednesday Humboldt County Sheriff's Investigator Gregory Musson testified. Musson said Ruiz had been stabbed multiple times and that the autopsy revealed there to be a hard blow to his fore arm.
Morrow told Musson in an interview that he had not remembered the fight and blacked out. Morrow said he had been in 40 fights before, and allegedly stabbed someone before in Chico and had blacked out "all his life."
When Morrow was told he stabbed Ruiz multiple times, Musson said he did not remember and said, "Five times, oh my God."
Morrow told investigators that he did not remember dropping the weapon or knew where he had stabbed Ruiz. Musson said that in his investigation that he did not find any blood inside the RV that may suggest Ruiz had been stabbed inside.
Morrow will appear again in court on Feb. 13 for his arrangement.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
When you get into a routine and do the same things over and over, your brain gets very little stimulation. Previously, we have learned that our minds works on the "use it or lose it" principal. One easy way to introduce novelty into your life is to shop at different grocery stores. For most of human history, finding food was a difficult task that required social interaction and ingenuity. In modern society, getting food from the local supermarket requires very little thought. Here are two ways to spice things up.
1. Try doing your grocery shopping at a different store. This will force you to learn a different store layout, and different brands of foods. Maybe you'll find something that you like better.
2. Shop at specialty markets. Instead of getting everything from one place, go to a bakery, a butcher shop, a farmers market, or an ethnic food store. You will probably get fresher food that will taste better and be better for you. Often these markets will have uncommon varieties that you can't get at a supermarket. Try one of these to get a different sensory input.

PHILADELPHIA - Recent Heptagonal champions Tom Awad, Kelsey Hay, Sam Mattis, Maalik Reynolds and Brendan Smith were named first-team All-Ivy by the league office on Monday. In addition, senior Gabrielle Piper earned second-team all-league status.
This marks the most individual first-team All-Ivy recipients for the Penn men in nearly a decade -- a total of five Quakers combined for six first-team honors in 2005.
Reynolds, who was named the 2014 Outdoor Heps Most Outstanding Field Performer, added a seventh All-Ivy accolade to his decorated career and his fifth first-team recognition in the high jump. The five-time Heps champion earned his third outdoor title with the fourth-best jump in the nation. He cleared 2.25 meters (7 feet, 4 1/2 inches) to win the meet and then nearly broke his own school record with three attempts at 2.30 meters.
Hay earned her second career all-league honor after claiming second-team accolades in the javelin last year. On Saturday, the sophomore garnered first-team status with a meet record toss in the event. She became the first woman in school history to surpass 50 meters and broke a 12-year-old Heps record with a throw that landed at 50.02 meters (164 feet, 1 inch).
Smith garnered his first career All-Ivy award with a Heps title in the steeplechase.He finished in 8:54.50 to top a plethora of upperclassmen and earn Penn's first Heps win in the event since Sean MacMillian in 2000.
Awad also earned All-Ivy for the first time in his career with his sixth straight win this outdoor season (at six different distances). This victory came in the 10,000 meters with a finish of 29:26.13 to narrowly edge Harvard senior James Leakos (29:26.83). That time ranks second all-time at Penn and sits only behind Dave Merrick's 1976 school record. It is also Penn's first Heps win in the event in 10 years (Dusty Lieb).
For the second straight year, Mattis earned first-team All-Ivy in the discus with a Heps title and meet-record toss. He successfully defended his title with a winning throw of 58.72 meters (192 feet, 8 inches).
Piper finished her Heps career with a seventh All-Ivy performance. The senior was the runner-up in the 100-meter hurdles in 13.71. The Marietta, Ga., native, who was also part of the school record-setting 4x100-meter relay team at the championship meet, is a two-time All-Ivy first-team honoree and has now won five second-team awards.
As a team, the men improved from seventh place a season ago to finish fourth on Sunday. The women were seventh overall with two school records and 65 percent of their scoring from underclassmen.
Penn's All-Ivy honorees as well as several other Quakers will compete this weekend at the ECAC/IC4A Championships in Princeton, N.J., May 16-18.

Just got this question from one of my Service Provider friends: "If I am building a new MPLS backbone from scratch, should I design it with Carrier's Carrier in mind?" Of course you should ... after all, the CsC functionality has almost no impact on the MPLS backbone (apart from introducing an extra label in the label stack).
Carrier's Carrier architecture looks complex and scary (your customers can build their own MPLS/VPN networks on top of your MPLS/VPN service), but needs just a single feature on top of baseline MPLS/VPN architecture: LDP between PE and CE routers.
In traditional MPLS/VPN architecture you run IGP (or EBGP) between PE routers and CE routers and send IP packets across PE-CE link. CsC adds the ability to run PE-CE LDP, exchange labels for MPLS/VPN routes and send labeled packets across PE-CE link.
The LDP label advertised by the PE router is stitched to the label remote PE-router advertised over MP-BGP, building an LSP from the CE-router to remote PE-router. Likewise, the MPLS/VPN label advertised by the PE-router through MPLS/VPN gets stitched to the LDP label advertised by the CE-router, building an LSP from remote PE-router to local CE-router.
If the customer continues to run pure IP, you'll still have just two labels in your MPLS core (MP-BGP label on top of LDP label), but the LSP extends beyond PE-routers, which can be useful if the customer wants to implement BGP-free core. CsC architecture also allows your customers to implement layered QoS – they can control both the Traffic Class (former Experimental) bits in the MPLS label and DSCP bits in IP header.
All of the PE-CE functionality is totally invisible to your P-routers. However, if the customer decides to offer MPLS/VPN service on top of your MPLS/VPN service, you'll see an extra label in your MPLS core – the only precaution you have to make in your network design is to use larger MTU size (add at least 20 bytes – 5 labels – to the maximum MTU you want to support).
And you probably know where to find more information about CsC architecture – three guys wrote a great sequel to a great MPLS/VPN book a while ago.

Defence of the Adulterers
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Defence of the Adulterers (or Dota among dotards) is a popular game personifying the never ending fights in court between wives and their cheating husbands. The game is split into 2 different sides, the Radiant and the Dire, where the player chooses a lawyer from three different factions to try to win the case. The player plays as a lawyer, attempting to use money to bribe the jury, who is hiding either in that tree or behind that big blue throne. The money is gained from incomes by mentally screwing up the witnesses or defeating the opponents during a crossfire. Aside from using pure mental strength, the lawyers do not waste their time with words, as they just use paper aeroplanes and briefcases to hit the opponents and basically annoy and irritate them. Aside from the normal witnesses, lawyers can also extort money from the security guards as an extra source of income. If you're feeling tough, you can take on the judge for the legendary Justice Wig which can re-energize you in case the enemy mentally fucks you up.
edit Sides
edit Radiant
They are the narcissistic and arrogant housewives who believe in chivalry even though gender equality exists. They require men to listen to their every whim and be their slaves. So, when their husbands cheated on them, we can simply say that all hell breaks loose. ( Let's just call them Smart-Ass Bitches for short)
edit Dire
Faithless husbands who accidentally bathed with their wives while wearing a used condom from fucking that hot bitch last night. Well, they did say they were sorry, but being the smart-ass bitches they are, they refused to admit defeat to what they call a "barbaric whore" who is socially way below them. Well, I bet the men don't feel remorseful anyway, they did fuck an awesome bitch.(Damn the flaws of being precise. Short form – Scum)
edit Neutrals
Politicians who go one side for unknown reasons connected to world domination. Determined to overthrow 4chan's long rule over the world, these dickheads revel in emotional strains and as such, partake in such activities to boost their oral skills and also to enjoy the view of two lovebirds at each other's throats.(Another long string of rubbish. Alternate name – World Dominator wanna-bes)
edit Heroes
Well these so-called 'Heroes' are basically just lawyers that are profit-driven (mostly). They attempt to collect enough money to successfully bribe the jury into winning the case. While they mostly extort money from the opposition witnesses, they also like to gain income by weakening the opposite lawyer's mind so much by flaming them, that they give money to them in return for stopping the mindfucks. What the lawyers gain for themselves during after the lawsuit is still a mystery, but there has to be a reason why they party like crazy just after each game.
edit Smart-ass bitches
edit Silencer (Jesus the Second)
Hailing from Salem in the late 1700s, Silencer is the only male bitch warrior to achieve immortality. Mastering the ancient art of origami-folding and tossing, and combining it with the volatile nature of witches' spells, he is able to cause acute pain in his enemies. By binding his magical powers to his paper shurikens, he is able to cause paper cuts beyond devastation. After a deep throat incident, he lost his voice for over a month, and he grew sullen and resentful. Hence, on the restoration of his voice, he pledged to fight for the women/men cuckolds who never have their voices heard, till the end of his immortality which will never end. Also known as Jesus the Second, for his burning glare that can see through Scums' souls.
edit Hero Intro
- Curse of Silence - makes use of witchcraft where Jesus the Second sticks a strip of masking tape over the mouths of poppets of his opponents,causing them to feel the pain of keeping silent, giving them the desire to create an outburst.
- Glaives - His expertise in origami allows him to throw multi-edged paper shurikens at the enemy giving them deep paper cuts.
- Last word - His glare intimidates people such that they do not dare to talk for a period of time after an outburst.
- Silent Clap - With a dramatic and effeminate (cause he's a bitch, remember? Nah… bet you don't. Why are you even reading this. Go touch yourself.) motion of his hands, he claps and brings his index finger to his lips, making a hush sound, shushing every opponent in the court.
edit Troll (Joh'Ka)
edit Background Info
When the Smart-Ass Bitches first recruited lawyers, Trolls were considered irritating and too predictable (Tits or GTFO). Their pride wounded, many refused to join, some even considering siding with the Scum. Only a hotheaded young called Joh'ka joined the Smart-Ass Bitches. Known as "Blinding Ass" in troll tongue both for the blinding speed of his paper airplanes and his trademark 'blind' technique, his unstoppable trolling have already made him a legend among his allies. Oh Joh'ka, you're such a legend. However Joh'ka fights not for the Smart-Ass Bitches, or even to defend the Adulterers, but to show everyone that nobody can beat trolls at their own game.
edit Hero Intro
- Troll Rage - In a fit of trolling rage, Joh'ka turns his paper aeroplanes into paper machetes, and whacks his opponent while trolling them. Occasionally the trolling hits their soft spots, making them weak and vulnerable for a second.
- Blind - Joh'ka trolls with such wicked words that opponents cry, temporarily blinding them with their own tears.
- Fervor - When Joh'ka engages an opponent in 'intellectual debate,' he gets more and more excited, trolling faster and faster.
- Battle Trance - Joh'ka subconsciously uses the dormant frustration and hate towards the world hidden in him and taps into it. His words hold more power and his tongue gains an adrenaline rush that allows him to troll at 20 words per second.
edit Stupid Giant (Whiney)
edit Background Info
Dyslexic since young, Whiney has been ostracized since his schooling days due to his poor academic results. However, the one and only thing he had that was greater than others was his size, and that did not refer solely to his Johnson. He used his size to bully people but at the same time always got frustrated easily due to his dyslexic background. After physically threatening his way into a law degree, Whiney now uses his intimidation once again to pummel the opposition and if that doesn't work, he can always use the 'throw and kill' technique, picking up random objects to hurl at his opponents. Obviously the Smart-Ass Bitches were aroused by his size, which in this case does refer solely to his Johnson, hence they recruited his sexy butt which is a value against the Scum.
edit Hero Intro
- Avalanche - bombards opponent width misssspellt end mispronunced words, starning damn ass day try two comprehend his garbeled werds.
- Toss - Anger at opponent being able to rebutt every sentence causes him to take a random object within arm's reach to hurl it at the opponent. "He can has anger management?"
- Fatty Exterior – Not giving two hoots about his body, Whiney indulged in all kinds of fatty food to make sure he does not shrink in size. The layers of fat eventually line his ears, making him less susceptible to arguments. Furthermore, the folds of fat on his body smushes people who get too close.
- Growth – As he gets angrier, adrenaline pumps through his veins, making him appear bigger to people, and each swing of his briefcase is infused with more strength. Movement however is crippled because his weak judgment is further clouded by fury which delays his already slow process of thinking.
edit World Dominators
edit Jet Hider(Jizz'a lot)
edit Background Info
Once an expendable kamikaze private, Jizz'alot has outlived the suicidal tendencies of other Jet Riders because he failed in life. He made a decision to join the World Dominators (cos they fail at life too – Chuck Norris already owns the world and no one can take it away from him), and was accepted because his experience in taking risks (none) and what he learnt from his brave buddies who died allows him to innovate creative uses for his flaming: He can spray opponents with a jet of semen (the only good thing he learnt from the army) right in the kisser, clogging up their throats and restricting speech before criticizing their arguments, flaming the shit out of them, or take flight as he was most accustomed to, leaving a trail of charred scripts behind. However, his most deadly skill involves hooking his opponent with taunts and then dragging the unfortunate person back for hardcore flaming supported by fellow attorneys.
edit Hero Intro
- Sticky Semen – Jizz'alot targets an area and rapidly squirts out a whole load of cum. Due to its special properties, it lowers the mental guard of opponents such that they would be more susceptible to flaming.
- Flame Dick - Sets his own cock on fire with some stuff from that chemistry set he stole from your mom. Upon blowjob with the enemy the foreskin explodes, burning their tongue and rendering them speechless for a few moments.
- Firefry – Jizz'alot flames so much he gets all excited and burns through opponents. Any opponent that dares to stand in his stream of flaming will get mentally toasted. Real bad.
- Flaming Lasso - Using the lasso of truth he stole from Wonder Woman after that surprise buttsecks with her, he imbues it with the power of flaming and drags the opponent into the crossfire, allowing his fellow attorneys to flame him.
edit Wang-full Sprite (Slanderhair Sickmood)
edit Background Info
Once a mighty coward and sister of Mutthead, the maniacal laughter of her sibling and that dildo of hers covered in her own blood from her period is a sight that even today still haunts Wang-full Sprite. Hearing the laments of her lawyer daughter, Elooney decided not to forsake her, and she graced her with a new hot sexy body along with abilities to harness powers from NeverNever Land and a fighting spirit only owned by those who have fucked death Himself. Named Slanderhair for her skilled slandering of oppositions and her soft silky hair, she now leads the World Dominator Wanna-bes Lawfirm, fearless of what could cum on her. She also works as a model for Playboy magazine to earn extra income and flaunt her new hot sexy body.
edit Hero Intro
- Stunning Missive - A picture of her in sexy lingerie is flung towards the opponent as a missive. Aside from the paper cut, the opponent spends some time drooling over her body.
- Wave of Terror - After doing a sexy pose, Slanderhair suddenly morphs into an ugly bitch (Well, she wasn't a total knockout before she got her new hot sexy body – I'm just saying), terrorizing opponents and leaving them open to flaming while their flaming power is temporarily reduced.
- Command Aura – Abusing her authority over the World Dominator wanna-bes, Slanderhair rallies allies to create more devastating mental blows towards the enemy.
- Nether Swap - While distracting the opponent with her sexy body, she leads the opponent into swapping his stand, causing massive confusion to both him and the entire courthouse.
edit Suck King (Syxphilis)
edit Background Info
Once the lawmaker of ancient Nigerian Kingdom, Syxphilis was banished for sexually assaulting the queen and verbally assaulting the king. He fled to the Kalahari desert where he succumbed to hallucinations and debated with the suck storms themselves, honing his debating skills. By pure luck, he found the lost kingdom of Suckington and swallowed the Orb of Sucking, which was imbued with immense power. With great power cam responsibility, which he lacked in, thus it was locked deep within him, only to be used in dire situations. Since he now sucked so bad the Smart-Ass Bitches didn't want him so he had to settle for work with the Scum.
edit Hero Intro

- Epicentre, - Suck King's most fatal ability, causes him to be the centre of attraction, and while drawing attention of everyone, unleashes waves of suckiness damaging nearby attorneys and witnesses alike. He needs to channel his energy to tap into that suckidom.
edit Scum
edit Been Mental (Atrocious)
edit Background Info
Atrocious is a mental farce personifying the nightmares and fear of this world. He manifests where there is promise of inflicting tumors and feeding off brain goo. Sipping his opponents' brain juices empowers him while manifesting fear of losing their coherency greatly enfeebles their ability to argue. He revels in disabling foes by sending them into dreaded slumber from which they may never wake, resulting in him winning the case. When need be he can rip his soul and force it into his foes, effectively immobilizing them with retardation and/or zombification. In other words, he hardly uses speech to win a battle. Atrocious is, in one word... Atrocious. Duh. Are you dumb or what. I hate talking to idiots.
edit Hero Info
- Enfeeble - Using a Mental Taser, Atrocious secretly zaps the part of the brain that enables speech, causing the opponent to babble aimlessly and even lose his thoughts for a moment.
- Brain Sap - Atrocious steals the case of the opponent and turns the idea into his own argument.
- Nightmare - Using the powerful hypnosis technique he learnt ages ago, he causes the opponent to slip into a nightmare, causing him to not only sleep halfway during argument, but wake up screaming and shouting.
- Fiend's Grip - Atrocious finally uses his magical abilities to slowly crush the brain of the opponent, dealing concussive damage and rendering the opponent unable to troll over a period of time.
edit Sex Fiend (Neverenough / Iwantmore)
edit Background Info
A convict-turned-lawyer for the Scum, so abhorred that he makes the skin of even his fellow sex offenders' crawl, Neverenough/Iwantmore is a creature of sex that consumes the virginity of those around him. When the Sex Fiend comes forth to court, he augments his power with the virginities he has stripped, bearing down on his opponents with sexually enhanced arguments and arousing language. The Sex Fiend is a terrifying opponent many succumb to, and everybody, friend or foe, who undergo his torment have almost certainly lost their virginity as well, which is the most despicable fate of all.
edit Hero Info
- Sexcraze – Years of intercourse result in the mastery of sex: able to engage in fornication from varying distances.
- Sexmastery – Loss of virginity after prolonged contact with Sex Fiend. For each virginity he took, he gains confidence and is able to make more persuasive arguments. Virginities undergo a process of bondage in him until he suffers a counter-argument that leaves him speechless, in which case releases the virginities to their original owners.
- Presence of the Sex Lord – Sex Fiend bows only to the Lord of Sex, from whom he gained his unholy sex powers and his addiction for fornication. His reputation terrifies nearby witnesses and lawyers alike, who are afraid to suffer the same fate as all his previous victims.
- Requiem of Sex – In a fit of rage, Neverenough unleashes his sex drive and sexual frustration, using the bondage he got with the previous skills by temporarily growing 25 penises, skewering and screwing everyone in his way, courtesy of the Sex Lord.
edit Dick Biter (Aunty Lucy)
edit Background Info
Aunty Lucy was the leaver of the Dickguard attack force in the first case by the Dick Lord Sugass. With his original master long gone, Aunty Lucy grants his undying lawyerty to the Scum to finish what his lord once started. Devouring dicks to increase his own which was half sawn-off when he Alt-Q-Q, he multiplies the shame of those long and hard enough to endure his strength and the heat of his fiery gropes by blessing them with erectile dysfunction. Aunty Lucy takes no pissoners and makes sure those who persevere through his wrath die by the agonizing and burning pain of Dick itself.
edit Hero Intro
- Devour – Aunty Lucy, filled with hatred for the opponent, bites off his penis. He gains a reward from the Scum each time he does so.
- Fucked Earth – Aunty Lucy, using his ULTIMATE HOTNESS, fucks the earth with his feet dick while walking around, arousing and heating up the earth under him.
- DickLength? Death - Using her hatred for other's penis, Aunty Lucy burns pieces of the target's penis. The longer the dick length, the more damage the target takes.
- DOOM – Aunty Lucy fools the opponent that doom is already given and he is sentenced to eternal fucking. Deals damage with every thrust of Lucy's dick. Since the opponent is convinced that he has lost, he does not speak
edit Witnesses
No court case is complete without witnesses, and each lawfirm (aside from the World Dominator Wanna-bes who can't be bothered to find because they can side with any and eventually take over the world) managed to persuade/grow innocents to join their cause.
- Smart-Ass Bitches – They managed to grow their own witnesses through stem cell research. Named Treants because they could not be bothered to come up with an original name and simply copied LOTR, these witnesses could be planted anywhere anytime, especially at the places where the accused was tenderly loving someone other than his/her wife e.g. your mom's bed, your bed, or Whiney's stomach. These witnesses then march together to testify seeing the adultery take place, for there is strength in numbers. They are often followed by an avid gardener who makes sure that they are well-taken care of (sadly he fails most of the time) and do not die on their way to the courthouse.
- Scum – The witnesses here are all involuntarily voluntary (haha, I've just mindfucked you, how did you like that?). They were once ordinary people, like me and, well, not you, heck, just me. However, they had this fetish of peeping in at people's windows, asscracks, vags and other similar stuff. Well, nothing wrong with that. At least not until they peeked into yours. Anyways, what they saw, not just sex, but hardcore porn directing, was much too much and they all died (See? Too much porn IS a bad thing.) They wanted their revenge, so they came back as ghouls, but a necrophile told them, "Sup homies, if you tell the judge that you ain't seen no sex happen'd and that they were just practicing yoga, I'll give you back your bodies and you can go continue peeping into things until you die again. Limited time offer only." The ghouls readily agreed, and thus the Scum found witnesses for themselves.
edit Towers
- Smart-Ass Bitches - The Stoned Towers were created as a defense mechanism to defend against the hoards of witnesses and attorneys from the Scum. Made from the souls of 10,000 people who once stoned the supposed 'witches' they attempt to throw sand in the opponent's eyes. However, due to the amount of experience stoning those witches (and fingering them in a fit of sexual urges), they use their long fingers to create huge boulders and toss them at the opponent in an attempt to get them to stop talking. Occasionally, the more powerful towers use their kidney stones as a source of ammunition. It is rumored that Silencer doesn't like the towers, as most of them stoned him in Salem before.
- Scum - In answer to the Stoned Towers, the Scum used black majick to create an amalgamation of their own. Gathering the souls of past adulterers, they weaved a majick crystal, mounted upon a structure made of vulvas, to create the Sex Towers. These Sex Towers frequently produce telepathic waves that force the opponent to drop down and start masturbating. With the hard-willed or sexually impotent, they whisper into their mind, causing them to scream in insanity as they start licking the vulvas of the Sex Towers in an attempt to cleanse their minds. Only the most perverse can resist it, or rather, only the most perverse can ignore the sexual thoughts those towers bring to mind - they thought of them long ago.
edit Items
- Bracers – Seemingly decorated shiny wristband, inscribed with a miniaturized version of the script, to help lawyers remember words.
- Null Talisman - A huge excessively exaggerated gemstone hung around the lawyer's neck with an equally expensive-looking chain to distract opponents and make it easier for them to stumble.
- Wraith Band – Hides a receiver that sends messages from the attorney's law firm back to him, or your mom informing him that she had a nice night and that she's washed his undies and he can pick them up at night.
- Power treads - Branded leather shoes that give people an impression you are rich. It gives you some shred of dignity for you to speak faster and with more gusto. Includes: Velcro strap that can adjust to 3 different lengths depending on what situation you are in (what, you think you're smart enough to use shoelaces? You'll just get it looped round your neck... wait a few more years, you retard...).
- Divine Rapist - A legendary sword that was forged with one strand of Chuck Norris' beard. Apparently there was no hilt awesome enough to attach the holy hair-blade to. This makes it easy to slip off one's hands if he gets subdued.
- Guinsoo Psyche of Vile - The builder/architect of the courthouse, the exalted Guinsoo, has agreed to sell his keychain to pay off his mortgage debts and to buy a house. When activated, the legendary scythe-shaped keychain temporarily drains the psyche of the opponent, transforming him into a mindless sheep or a cowardly chicken.
- Hood of Delusion - In the last Amazonian tribe deep in, well, the Amazon, (where else, China?) there lived an ancient sheman of unspeakable (thus I will not speak about it) powers who could totally change the world with a snap of his fingers (No, it's not you dickhead. Go ahead, snap. Nothing's gonna happen). However your alcoholic dad found his hood fashionable and traded it with China for a stout-brewing panda. They mass-produced it so now each hood only holds a mere fraction of its original ability. Wearing the hood causes delusion and you such that you think your words are 5000% true (like ah said ah'm not 500, but 5000% sure) and no one else is right, allowing you to debate with more zeal and granting more resistance to opponent counter-attacks.
- Courier -A phone that lawyers use to dial that bitch they had sex with last night, calling her to bring those important documents they left behind as proof of their lawyerty so that she would fuck them. Upgrades to 'flying' courier.
- Flying Courier - Injects the whore with a high dose of a mixture of LSD and adrenaline, making her feel like she's high and flying, doing your every bidding without a complaint and allows her to run to the courthouse without feeling tired.
- Bombastic Fury - Allows the user to suddenly gain a huge increase in vocabulary knowledge, using bombastic yet ambiguous words, mincing the morale of those in the vicinity the target.
edit Ancients
There's only one worth mentioning, Roosevelt Shayne Anderson. He's this filthy (occasionally just filthy, in both sense of the word) rich playboy who enjoys orgies and neglecting his business. Lawyers will then seize the chance to assault him with charges from shareholders when it fails, and when he doesn't survive the onslaught, he will pawn one of his solid gold dog collar to repay his debt. This collar gives lawyers a second chance to redeem themselves when they offer it as a bribe to the judge, but one thing to note: When Roosevelt rebuilds his business (usually takes 3minutes) he will reclaim the collar from the holder.
edit Mechanics
There are certain skills that add bonuses or effects to the mental damage that they deal when attacking the opponent lawyer, some of those place certain indicators or "buffs" on the target (sometimes to deal prolonged depression or other psychological effects).
There are also other skills (which fall under the "Orb Effect" naming), which are based on abilities that were originally used on the "Orb" items in Sparta, an ancient area of lawyers. A restriction was also imposed on those skills because said words were considered too powerful to be stacked (meaning repeated in quantities to increase the effects).

Gold, gold, gold
Everyone at the Team South Africa house is truly motivated by the wins of the three. They have truly injected a dose of motivation to the other athletes. With this kind of fire we will be at the podium again - Fikile Mbalula, Sports Minister.
South Africa's lightweight rowing team won a gold medal yesterday at the 2012 London Summer Olympics, adding to South Africa's excellent achievements at this year's Olympic Games.
The rowing team of Sizwe Ndlovu, Matthew Brittain, John Smith and James Thompson won the gold after a supreme effort, adding to the gold medals won by swimmers Cameron van der Burgh and Chad le Clos.
Matthew Brittain told the media that Le Clos' dramatic final push to beat Olympic super-athlete Michael Phelps in the 200m butterfly event was a huge inspiration for the rowing team.
'We just started shouting "gold" during the last 250m,' he explained. 'Like we said, the whole season now, whenever one of us says, "we've only got one goal", the others have to shout "gold".'
Both the muscle-power and the vocal affirmation clearly worked and the South Africans snatched first place by a quarter of a second, crossing the line in 6min 2.84sec. Britain took the silver medal and Denmark the bronze.
Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula was delighted at the outcome of the race, saying that South Africa is on a winning streak and he imagines there are more gold medals in the pipeline.
'Everyone at the Team South Africa house is truly motivated by the wins of the three,' he said. 'They have truly injected a dose of motivation to the other athletes. With this kind of fire we will be at the podium again.'
He may be right. Chad le Clos was on top form yet again when he won his semi-final for the 100m butterfly, where he set a new South African record. This evening the young swimmer is again up against his hero, American Michael Phelps, in the 100m butterfly final.
South Africa has already tripled the number of medals that were won by the country at the Beijing Olympics, and that's just in the first 5 days of the 2012 London Summer Olympics.

Technical Abstract: Potato breeding is a challenge due to the tetraploid nature of the potato, limited variability for economically important traits in adapted breeding clones, and a complex set of requirements necessary for the successful adoption of new cultivars. However, rich germplasm resources are readily available and the genetic diversity in Solanum relatives is typically easily transferred to cultivated potatoes via interspecific crosses. The production of diploid hybrids between cultivated and wild potato species offers an easy and effective method for capturing much of the diversity in wild species, while allowing breeding and genetic studies to be carried out at the diploid level. Sexual polyploidization can then be used to transfer valuable wild species traits and genetic diversity back to the tetraploid level, where hybrids to cultivars are readily produced. To date, breeders have tapped into only a small fraction of the available genetic resources of potato using these methods. There is good reason for optimism about the prospects for continued genetic improvements in potato.
