Re: Royal Guard Discussion
Easy, all the info recopilated until today, based on LordGeorge, RoyalSpear, Yoyo, and myself I think...
Skill Simulator
(Made by Suna)
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 3
Prereq : Royal Guard Basic Skill
Type : Active / Special
Desc : Tramples an area 5 x 5 around you, destroying all traps. Traps that are explosive type activate normally.
[Level 1] : Success Rate 50%
[Level 2] : Success Rate 75%
[Level 3] : Success Rate 100%
SP Cost = 30 - 45 – 60
Cast Time = Instant PBAoE
Delay = 1~second aproximately
Effect = It make the whole screen rumble XD, awesome jajajaja, really nice
Use = Useless...
Why? Simply because most Ranger / Hunter Traps have an activation AoE of 5x5
So when you are in range to use it in a 5x5 AoE is useless, coz you activated the trap only by staying in range
Better explanation
If you are close to the Activation AoE of a Trap you active it... if it's 5x5 and you enter that range you activate it...
And Trample activates all traps in a 5x5 AoE... so you must be in the same range in which the traps activate in order to use this skills to activate it lol
Could be useful against Ankle Snare, but for Cluster Bomb, Claymore, etc not...
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Trample 3
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : Adds a chance to evade magic damage, and increases physical defense. The user's stats increases the evasion chance, and the user's learned level of defending aura increases the defense boost. When successfully evading magic you completely negate all damage.
[Level 1] : Duration 30 s
[Level 2] : Duration 45 s
[Level 3] : Duration 60 s
[Level 4] : Duration 75 s
[Level 5] : Duration 90 s
SP Cost = 70 + ( 5 x Skill Level )
Cast Time = 3~seconds INTERRUPTIBLE
Cooldown = Still not sure, but like 30 seconds, not Aftercast Delay
Now showed as buff on side screen
Magic Evasion = Blocks Single Target Spell as well AoE Spells, if it evades the first hit of the magic skill will negate completely the left hits of it
The Magic Evade Formula IS: [ (INT + LUK) / 7 ] + 5 %
It was hard to figure because RO's RNG SUX AS HELL, but it is quite exact, thanks a lot to LordGeorge and Clogon for the time discovering it with tedious and long tests
DEF Added Formula IS:
Prestige Normal Bonus + Base Level Bonus + Aura Defender Bonus
Prestige Normal Bonus = (5 x Skill Level)
Base Level Bonus = [ (Base Level - 100) % 4 ]
Aura Defender Bonus = [ (Base Level % 2) x (Aura Defender Level % 5)]
You can see in the Formula only bonuses based on Skill Levels and Base Level, not in Equip, because the Equip does not affect the Prestige DEF Bonuses
Damn, it took me a while to figure the bonuses because two of them are Level based, thanks to Heimdall for posting those Screenshots, I used them in complement to my own character to calculate all n_nUUU
Force of Vanguard
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Royal Guard Basic Skill
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : While the skill is active when you take physical damage you increase your rage counter. The rage counters can be used for the skill Rage Burst Attack. When you use the skill, Force of Vanguard cancels. While the skill is active it consumes SP over time.
[Level 1] : 10% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 7
[Level 2] : 12% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 9
[Level 3] : 14% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 11
[Level 4] : 16% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 13
[Level 5] : 18% chance to get rage counter when taking damage / Max rage counters: 15
SP Cost (at begining) = 30 SP Regardless of Skill Level
SP Cost (being active) = [24 – (4 x Skill Level)] every 10 seconds
Cast Time: 1,5 seconds~ INTERRUPTABLE
It looks like all new Shura skills, where a blue aura appears under you and expands with 4 silouetes of yourself...
When taking damage it summons "Spirit Spheres" , meh, the Rage Counters are the same as Shuras Spheres, and looks like 5 shinnier spheres only
Rage Counters DO NOT add damage like Spirit Spheres, so they should not be the same...
Force of Vanguard when activating:
The "Rage Counters"...
Rage Burst Attack
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 1
Prereq : Force of Vanguard 1
Type : Active / Attack
Desc : Uses all rage counters from Force of Vanguard to deal large damage to a single target. The damage is increased by the number of spirit spheres you have.
SP Cost = 50 SP
Cast = Instant
Delay = 3 seconds... and not the "re use delay" , the full delay
Damage is 100%*Rage Counter
Previously I did not take into account Status Def so it made the skill mod bigger than it acutally was but I retested with Clogon and this time included Status def and it is indeed 100%*Rage Counter for a maximum of 1500% ATK
When I get the maximum of Spheres I use Rage Burst Damage, that DOES NOT CANCEL Force of Vanguard Skill... only wastes all the Rage Counters... to end Force of Vanguard your SP must reach 0 or you must reuse the skill
There seems to be an issue when teleporting because you CAN'T see your Rage Counters... they are still there but you can't see them after teleporting, so if you use Rage Burst Attack the skill uses all the power of your spheres, and then they start appearing again if you still have FoV activated
Other useful thing is that after having the max amount of Raging Counters you can turn off the Force of Vanguard, and still use Raging Burst Attack to waste them, you don't need to have FoV active in order to use RBA, you must only have the Rage Counters
The damage is influenced by WEAPON ATK. If you don't have any Rage Counters and try to use RBD the skill FAILS
Mmmhh the animation of Rage Burst Attack is similar to Vital Stryke of Lord Knight
IMHO it is just usefull for builds without melee attacks like this, for example Martyr build, or Grand Cross build, oh maybe Spear Build too, I forgot they don't have any other skills than Holy Cross
Anyway for Shield Build it is really useless , again IMHO, nothing more
Rage Burst Attack
Moon Slasher
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Spear Quicken 5
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Deals damage to all enemies in a 3 cell radius around you, which forces the enemies hit to sit. When used against monsters it stops them from moving for 1~3 seconds. Over Brand skill level increases the damage dealt.
[Level 1] : Attack 50% / Success Rate 40%
[Level 2] : Attack 100% / Success Rate 48%
[Level 3] : Attack 150% / Success Rate 56%
[Level 4] : Attack 200% / Success Rate 64%
[Level 5] : Attack 250% / Success Rate 72%
SP Cost = 16 + (4 x Skill Level)
Cast Time = 1~ Second (Interruptable???)
Delay = 1~ Second
Cooldown = 7 - ( 1 x Skill Level )
PBAoE = 7x7
Spin around yourself and then hit all targets withing range
Cannon Spear
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Pinpoint Attack 1
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Spear exclusive skill. Hit's all targets in a straight line up to 11 cells.
[Level 1] : Attack 150%
[Level 2] : Attack 200%
[Level 3] : Attack 250%
[Level 4] : Attack 300%
[Level 5] : Attack 350%
Pinpoint Attack
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Banishing Point 5
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Spear exclusive skill. Rush a target quickly from a distance, striking a target at a vital point. The skill level causes different effects. The user's AGI stat influences the damage. Deals critical damage 100% of the time.
[Level 1] : Attack 100% / Chance to cause bleeding
[Level 2] : Attack 200% / Chance to remove spirit spheres
[Level 3] : Attack 300% / Chance to break shield
[Level 4] : Attack 400% / Chance to break armor
[Level 5] : Attack 500% / Chance to break weapon
Over Brand
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Moon Slasher 3 / Pinpoint Attack 1
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Spear exclusive skill. Draw's a cross which deals area damage with a range of up to 6 cells and width of 6 cells. Enemies that receive damage are knocked back. If those knocked back are pushed into a wall, they take additional damage. The level of spear quicken learned increases damage.
[Level 1] : Attack Damage 100% / Brandish Damage 100%
[Level 2] : Attack Damage 200% / Brandish Damage 200%
[Level 3] : Attack Damage 300% / Brandish Damage 300%
[Level 4] : Attack Damage 400% / Brandish Damage 400%
[Level 5] : Attack Damage 500% / Brandish Damage 500%
SP Cost = 20 + (2 x Skill Level)
Cast Time = 1~ second
Aftercarst = 0,5~ seconds
Skill Type = Ground Target AoE 6x6
Damage = Normal Damage + Knockbak Wall Bonus + Spear Quicken Bonus
It seems that Spear Quicken adds (10*Spear Quicken Level)% , then the final formula could be somthing like
(100 x Skill Level)% + (100 x Skill Level)% + (10 x Spear Quicken Level)%
So, if the skill hits without Knockbak, the damage will be 600%~ , similar to Brandish Spear damage, but if the mob knockbak with a wall, the damage is double... about 1100~ similar to a full Bowling Bash
PD: Still I have not the SP cost of the skill, and I am not sure if the Spear Quicken Bonus is exactly that, plus if it is only aplied for the normal damage or both (normal damage and knockback damage)
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Pinpoint Attack 3 / Rage Burst Attack 1
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : When Royal guards in party have Banding activated, if you are close enough together, your attack increases, defense increases, and share HP. While the skill is active it continually uses SP, and re-using the skill cancels it. The number of party members increases the effectiveness of the skill.
[Level 1] :+20 atk, +6 def per RG in banding
[Level 2] :+30 atk, +7 def per RG in banding
[Level 3] :+40 atk, +8 def per RG in banding
[Level 4] :+50 atk, +9 def per RG in banding
[Level 5] :+60 atk, +10 def per RG in banding
*Ii will last until SP depletes, either you die or you use it again
*It seems you most be side by side with the other royal so you can obtain the effects ( the bonuses last about 5 sec when you move away from the others)
*You share HP with those in Banding!!!
This last point is difficult to explain ... if we've got 2 royals in Banding, one with 50k of MAX HP and the other with 10k of MAX HP
If the one with 10 k loses any quantity of HP ( that doesn't kill him) about 1 second later the royal with the most HP will replenish his partner's HP fully ( he loses the same quantity he replenished)... meaning that while the royal with the most "MAX HP" has more hp than the "MAX HP" of the other LG, the weakest one will always be replenished instantly, until they both have the same quantity of HP approximately ... and from this point forward who ever receives damage both will be distributing the HP among themselves ( it's not exact , it's kind of like 4523 hp one and 4734 the other)
But if one of them is killed instantly, there will not be HP to share, so you can still kill them with a really strong attack to stop their Banding, but it must be a 1 HIT KO, or kill both at same time
It is like the Royal Guards' HP in Banding become LIQUID, comparing it to water in equilibrium... like in this picture
So, if any of them loses HP (one side loses water) the liquid from the other side will flow to fill it until they reach the same amount on both sides
Effective range 7x7 cells:
Every time that a royal guard (in banding too) of your party enters or leave your 7x7 banding range you will see the banding skill animation...
and now if you start casting Ray of Genesis and the other RG move out your banding range it does nothing T_T
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5

No Delay, No Cooldown
AoE = 3x3 based on Target
Ray Of Genesis
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Grand Cross 10
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Calls down the wraith of god's messenger from the sky. Deals holy element damage to all targets in a 5 cell radius. Requires two royal guards in banding. The damage is increased by the number of banding royal guards. When used on undead or demon monsters, has a 50% chance of blinding.

Hesperus Lit
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Prestige 3 / Banding 3
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Usable by 3 Royal Guards in banding. All royal guards in banding strike a target together at once. The number of hits is increased by the number of banding royal guards and changes the effect. When using the skill half SP ic consumed by other royal guards in banding.
[Level 1] : Attack 40%
[Level 2] : Attack 80%
[Level 3] : Attack 120%
[Level 4] : Attack 160%
[Level 5] : Attack 200%
It's a spear exclusive skill and does 3 hits (maybe 1 hit per RG in banding)
Used in an orc warrior does aprox 7-8k damage in 3 hits, has a 10-15 segs reuse delay, and it appear each hit seems to be the 200% of the total atk of the royals guards in banding, because my friend and me does almost the same damage with Hesperus lvl 5. (sorry I forgot take screenshots... i think the other RG have more screens of Hesperus...)
Spoiler Alert:
Prerequisites: Shield Spell LV 3, Ray of Genesis LV 5, Piety LV 5
Type: Active / Self Buff
Description: When you use Inspiration, your accuracy rate (not true), stats, attack power and Max HP increase. While the skill is active, your HP and SP continually decrease, and you will receive some of the damage you deal back. If your SP reaches 0 the skill will automatically cancel, and if your HP reaches 0, you die. Using the skill costs 1% of your experience, and you cannot prevent the experience loss. While this skill is active, you cannot use Banding or Prestige.

Reflect Damage
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Reflect Shield 7
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : Shield exclusive skill. When receiving physical or magical damage part of the damage is returned in a radius around the user. While active this skill drains SP every second. This skill cannot be used with reflect shield.
[Level 1] : Damage 20% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 2] : Damage 25% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 3] : Damage 30% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 4] : Damage 35% Reflect / Duration 300s
[Level 5] : Damage 40% Reflect / Duration 300sSelf Buff
SP Cost (Activation) = 30 + 10*Skill Level
SP Cost (After Active) = 14 SP every 10 seconds
Cast Time = Instant
PBAoE of 7x7
The damage reflected by this skill doesn't affect party members, doesn't hit them, reflects all type of damage (melee, ranged, magic, misc) except reflected damage itself
For example it can Reflect the % of damage acording to skill level of all these attacks in the AoE:
Falcon Assault - HSCR - Acid Bomb - Soul Breaker - Severe Rainstorm - Dragon Breath - Asura Stryke - Martyr - Comet - ETC
Aditional Info: Reflect Damage DOES NOT reflect the own damage made by Grand Cross
If a Chaser uses Shadowform on you and you have Reflect Damage activated, then you can hit him and the damage is redirected to you, ok, but you can still reflect that damge in the AoE of Reflect Damage skill and the Chaser take that damage Reflected even in Shadow Form and without affecting you
1) Chaser Shadow Form a Royal Guard
2) The Royal Guard hits the Chaser by 10k
3) The Royal Guard takes that 10k damage and not the Chaser
4) The 10k damage Royal Guard takes are reflected in AoE because of Reflect Damage
5) Chaser takes that damage reflected, the 4k (40% of it)
Conclusion: If any Chaser have less than 40% your Royal Guard HP you can kill him when he Shadow Form you
Spoiler Alert:
Devotion lasts until the Paladin DIES; it is not canceled even if the Paly has less than 1/4 HP

X = empty cell (also Reflect Damage AoE)
G = Royal Guard
W = wizzard in redemption (just because we tested it with my wizzie)
A = attacker
On this setup, the wizzie will get hit by the attacker. She will have a 30% chance to block the attack (Auto Guard) and -80% on ranged damage (Defending Aura). BUT the attacker will take no reflected damage (Shield Reflect isn't shared, is outside Reflect Damage AoE).
Now, on another setup:
Now the attacker is INSIDE the Reflect Damage AoE. Whenever he damages the wizzie (poor wizzie, she is being bulied by the evil attacker!), he will take 40% of the damage, for it works with devo'ed damage. We didn't test it, but it's safe to say that any enemy inside the RG PAoE of 7x7 will take the devo'ed damage. So yep, they are big tankers indeed XD.
Banishing Point
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 10
Prereq : Spear Quicken 5
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Spear exclusive skill. A ranged attack with 7 cell range. Level increases hit rate of the skill. The level of bash you know increases the damage..
[Level 1] : Attack 130%
[Level 2] : Attack 160%
[Level 3] : Attack 190%
[Level 4] : Attack 220%
[Level 5] : Attack 250%
[Level 6] : Attack 280%
[Level 7] : Attack 310%
[Level 8] : Attack 340%
[Level 9] : Attack 370%
[Level 10] : Attack 400%
SP Cost: 30 SP Regardless of Skill Level
Cast Time = Instant
No delay, No cooldown (or 0,5 cooldown, or less, with my lag I can't be sure but I could spam it without fail mesages one after another)
Really Nice HIGHLY SPAMEABLE !!!
Banishing point seems bugged... because at lvl 10 hits aprox 330%, and with bash lvl 10 hits 400%, so you need bash lvl 10 to have the normal power of the skill
Screenshot n_n
Exceed Break
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Banishing Point 3
Type : Active / Self Buff
Desc : Collects your strength, so your next attack deals large damage. The user's stats influence the damage done. If you receive a short range physical attack the skill cancels. The skill doesn't influence skill damage. While active your movement speed is slowed.
[Level 1] : Attack 150% / Movement Speed 50% Decrease
[Level 2] : Attack 300% / Movement Speed 40% Decrease
[Level 3] : Attack 450% / Movement Speed 30% Decrease
[Level 4] : Attack 600% / Movement Speed 20% Decrease
[Level 5] : Attack 750% / Movement Speed 10% Decrease
SP Cost = 10 + (4 x Skill Level)
Casting Time = Like 2,5 seconds on level 1, less on lower levels it seems... INTERRUPTABLE
Delay = Like 3 seconds... total Delay with animation after activating it...
Lasting = 1 Attack
Awesome, if you receive a short range physical attack while casting the skill, the cast is canceled (Does not stop casting upon receiving other damages?). Your movespeed is reduced while casting the spell. Movespeed returns to normal after casting. And it is counted as a single and normal attack, so it can be critical
At more STR the damage is SLIGHTY increased (at least in the last tests), and seems to be
100% + 750% + Bonus%
OK, I tested both, Martyr and Exceed and this is what happend, Martyr has priority OVER Exceed Break and they stack but EB do not affect MR
No matter if you use first EB or MR, when you cast both of them your next 5 hits will be MR and the hit number 6 will be EB
Spoiler Alert:
NO, it is not influenced by damage modifier of size cards T_T , and not for WEAPON ATK either =(
YES, it ignores Thara reductions!, and even when it doesn't take element bonus it ignores Raydric also!!
Like always, if the Martyr hits are blocked, you lose the HP used on it and the lasting hit, but if it is evade (only posible with Perfect Dodge) you only MISS and nothing happens, you don't lose either your HP used on it or the lasting hit of Martyr
OK, I tested both, Martyr and Exceed and this is what happend, Martyr has priority OVER Exceed Break and they stack but EB do not affect MR
No matter if you use first EB or MR, when you cast both of them your next 5 hits will be MR and the hit number 6 will be EB
Shield Press
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Shield Charge 3
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Shield exclusive skill. Strikes a single target with a shield and stuns the target. The damage is influenced by shield weight and refine, and the user's status.
[Level 1] : Stun Chance 70%
[Level 2] : Stun Chance 75%
[Level 3] : Stun Chance 80%
[Level 4] : Stun Chance 85%
[Level 5] : Stun Chance 90%
SP Cost = 8 + 2*Skill Level
Cast Time = Instant , no delay, 2 seconds cooldown
Range = 1 Cell
This is the damage, it is less without weapon or/and a worse shieldi... so Weapon ATK is counted on the formula for Damage
Level 5 Damage with Cross Shield + 4 and Thin Blade (screenhot)
Earth Drive
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 5
Prereq : Reflect Damage 3
Type : Active / Damage
Desc : Brandishes your shield, dealing earth element damage to enemies in an area. Enemies which take damage have their defense and attack speed lowered by 25%. Skill level incraeses the duration of the attack speed and defense reduction. Damage is influenced by your shield weight.
[Level 1] : Damage 200% / Effect Time 3 s
[Level 2] : Damage 300% / Effect Time 6 s
[Level 3] : Damage 400% / Effect Time 9 s
[Level 4] : Damage 500% / Effect Time 12 s
[Level 5] : Damage 600% / Effect Time 15 s
SP Cost = It seems to be 44 + 8*Skill Level
Cast Time = Quick lol , 1 second~ on level 2 (seems to be the same for all levels... and INTERRUPTIBLE)
Delay = 1 Second Delay but (8 - Skill level) seconds cooldown/reuse delay >_<
BPAoE = 3x3... (only use it and the skill will trigger being you the center of it)
There a is chanse to broke your Shield while using the skill, actually it seems to be about 5% or less
Skill multi hit, it makes 5 quick hits that show the total damage at the end and it can remove many ground targeted spells like Magnetic Earth, Warp Portal, etc
Then, the bad things...
Earth Element Forced
3 Seconds Reuse Delay or more
3x3 AoE, very small
Low Damage % (600% in level 5)
Can Broke The Shield
So, the good things...
1 Second Delay only
25% ASPD Reduction to enemies
25% DEF Reduction to enemies
It can remove Ground Targeted Skills
Shield Spell
Spoiler Alert:
MAX Lv : 3
Prereq : Shield Press 3 / Earth Drive 2
Type : Active / Special
Desc : Shield exclusive skill. Evokes magic specific abilities based on your shield defense, magic defense, and refine rate.
[Level 1] : Evokes magic based on shield defense
[Level 2] : Evokes magic based on shield magic defense
[Level 3] : Evokes magic based on shield upgrade level
SP Cost: 50 SP Regardless of Skill Level
Cast Time: 1 second ~
Delay: 1 second
Cooldown: 2 seconds
Casts random special skills depending on the skill lvl used and the properties of your shield.
Each skill lvl is different and all skills are casted on you or around you (if has aoe)
- lvl 1 Spell Shield confirmed skills:
• Attack buff that increases EquipATK by ShieldDEF (Again, doesn't count upgrades).
• 7x7 Aoe damage that uses weapon element (Varies with Shield DEF--> 900~1700% atk) and knockback
• Reflect buff that I'd say reflects about (ShieldDEF/2)% of physical melee damage (Not factoring upgrades)
• Unknown success rate...
- lvl 2 Spell Shield confirmed skills:
• Magnificant
• 7x7 AoE damage (varies with shield mag def--> ????~1000% mag atk)
• 7x7 AoE mute (100% chance (need more testing), duration and range still unknown)
• Success rate increases with a shield with high mag def (aprox 100% success with a shield with 5 mag def)
- lvl 3 Spell Shield confirmed skills:
• Self buff that increases EquipDEF by about 10,5 times the shield upgrade rate.
• Self heal (fixed amount--> "11+refine"% of your MAX HP)
• Success rate increase with each refine (+0 = skill fail)
All of the buffs except Magnificat last about ~5 minutes or so (No buff icon or any indication) and get cancelled when you use Shield Spell again. Even if it casts an offensive skill, the previous effect still gets cancelled.
- Shield Spell lvl 1 effects:
Spoiler Alert:
first screen with Mirror Shield (40 def), second with Cross Shield (130 def)
- Shield Spell lvl 2 effects with +0 mirror shield (5 mag def)
Important: with mirror shield the skill worked 100% (any of the 3 effect activates) and with thorny (mag def 2) sometimes do nothing
- Shield Spell lvl 3 with +1,+2,+3 and +4 cross shield (my max hp 16.487)
+1: 12% of 16487 hp
+2: 13% of 16487 hp
+3: 14% of 16487 hp
+4: 15% of 16487 hp
*** I noticed this... more refine lvl, more chance to heal (+1: missed like 7 times, and +4 miss few times)
Cavalier Mastery
Spoiler Alert:
YES it affects the ASPD of Gryphon... so it's the same as the Peco, if you only have Peco Riding and not Cavalier Mastery your ASPD will sux, bad... really bad... so max it if you don't want to lose ASPD
Aura Defending
Spoiler Alert:
DAMN GOD, it reduces Dragon Breath -_-U I hate it, why can't Dragon Breath be Misc and ignore it eh?
And still irreducible by Thara, at least the damage was the same when taking damage with it or without it
Actually it reduces your Movement Speed more than before it seems, I still need to calculate it, and maybe ASPD, but the Movement Speed reduction is really noticable now
Shield Chain
Spoiler Alert:
Tested in PVP and like I said... Simple Uncarded Sword [4] vs Quadruple Bloody Sword [4]
The same results, the cards only affected Weapon ATK, so it sux and adds like 1k damage or less, because the RK was with Thara and Raydric, the damage of my Shield Chain only increases by 400 with the carded weapon...
Now Shield Chain takes the Weapon Element but at the end it still is forced Neutral Element (as other skills in Renewal similar to it)
Shield Chain can't be reflected by Deathbound, even when Dathbound increase the damage it does on RK, it is lost there and will not back to Paly...
Conclusion: For Shield Chain it is better to have a nice Weapon with less slots but good ATK, if not it will sux...
When doing Shield Chain against a Rune Knight with Hagalaz active, it will not brokes either your weapon or your shield, but while doing melee physical attack (like Pinpoint Attack) yes it will brokes your weapon

text: HMRC guidelines treat Bitcoin like a currency Technology 03 March 14 by Liat Clark Shutterstock HM Revenue and Customs has released a briefing on the taxation of cryptocurrencies that shows it will treat them very much as a legitimate currency, potentially paving the way for mainstream adoption.Anyone mining a cryptocurrency, exchanging it or charging for related transactions will no longer have to pay VAT, HMRC has said. This is in line with Article 135(1)(d) of the EU VAT Directive, a directive penned with traditional currencies in mind. However anyone engaging in the usual commercial activities -- buying a pint with bitcoins at your local, for instance -- will be subject to the same controls as a recognised currency. "VAT will be due in the normal way from suppliers of any goods or services sold in exchange for Bitcoin or other similar cryptocurrency," says the brief. "The value of the supply of goods or services on which VAT is due will be the sterling value of the cryptocurrency at the point the transaction takes place."The briefing also states that corporation, income or capital gains tax will be applicable relative to the circumstances, just as they are with traditional currencies. "Depending on the facts, a transaction may be so highly speculative that it is not taxable or any losses relievable," says the brief. "For example gambling or betting wins are not taxable and gambling losses cannot be offset against other taxable profits."The outlines also mean anyone hoarding Bitcoin to cash in in a decade will be subject to capital gains tax -- that goes for individuals and for companies."HMRC should be applauded simply for providing certainty to the industry," Marco Santori, a US lawyer specialising in digital currencies told Wired.co.uk. "Above and beyond that, I think the content of the guidance itself is commendable.""At a time when the worldwide media is focusing on the demise of Mt Gox and Vietnam's Bitcoin ban, the UK tax authorities have taken a thoughtful and logical approach to analysing the impact of cryptocurrencies, and looks set to rule accordingly," Tom Robinson, director of the UK Digital Currency Association (UKDCA) and cofounder of digital currency services company Elliptic, said in a statement. "Regulators and governments worldwide will be influenced by HMRC's ruling and it could have a profound effect on the long-term success of digital currencies."The brief is the culmination of weeks of meetings with Bitcoin businesses and users in the UK, arranged by Elliptic. As HMRC admits, it has been a difficult road coming to any kind of conclusion for a traditional body working in new territory: "The advent of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin is a new and evolving area and determining their legal and regulatory status is ongoing. Cryptocurrencies have a unique identity and cannot therefore be directly compared to any other form of investment activity or payment mechanism."Before today's announcement HMRC had said it viewed cryptocurrenices as more akin to a voucher, but because of its massively fluctuating value this did not make sense. HMRC seems to have wanted to treat it as a currency for a while, but it's difficult to do so when the Financial Services Authority is still mulling its status and there's no consensus across Europe (Finland, for instance, taxes earnings made from mining as income, while in Russia it's banned). Robinson believes the HMRC announcement will help the UK stand out as a place to do business if you're working with digital currencies, while Santori tells Wired.co.uk the guidelines are akin to the taxation rules that has allowed ecommerce and tech giants like Google to thrive in the US."The blossoming of ecommerce and the internet here in the US can be credited largely to minimally-invasive taxation and regulation in the late 90s and early 2000s. HMRC has so far taken a similar position in the UK, deciding against technology-specific laws and regulations. As such, they should expect similar results: a flourishing digital currency industry within its borders." Santori commented that he hopes the impending Internal Revenue Service (IRS) cryptocurrency guidelines will be similar to HMRC's when it comes to taxing gains-- taxing them as they would currencies, not commodities.Robinson adds: "To me, the most significant aspect of the briefing is that cryptocurrencies are being treated almost exactly the same as any other currency, be they pounds, dollars or euros. They are not being treated like gold bullion, or vouchers or private money -- but like regular money. This is significant because it shows that their use as a legitimate medium of exchange is being understood and officially recognised. This is the first step towards the regulation that will be required if cryptocurrencies are to go mainstream, and if their huge potential benefits are to be enjoyed by the masses. "HMRC should be applauded for taking a forward-thinking and progressive approach at a time when it would have been far easier to simply do nothing." Latest on wired.co.uk

So, I started posting this in my introduction thread herel, howeverI figure it's probably more appropriate in this forum.
If you'd like to see the previous iterations of that map, you can find them behind the link. For now, I will stick the current iteration here.
I'm currently trying to deal with the flatness of the lowlands - a problem that is manifesting with the "glued on" mountains look. Unfortunately, my photoshop file size has become seriously unwieldy - at over 200 megabytes while open, my machine is choking on it. I think that I've got an overabundance of effects layers going into play here and need to start condensing them in order to keep working with the file, so that the machine quits trying to recalculate the bazillion effects I have going into this. Since I'm fairly satisfied with the ocean as a set of layers, I think I'll start there, but I think that part of the problem with my current technique is that i'm using a LOT of layer masks, so a lot of the "effects" of the textural layers are hidden behind masks since I don't want to see them (rendered clouds, for breaking up pattern repeat, for instance.)
any photoshop experts have thoughts?

- 80 people publicy excuted in North Korea for watching smuggled TV shows: ReportNews Window: North Korea publicly executes 80 for watching South Korean showsNorth Korea says it executed Kim Jong-Un's uncle Jang Song-ThaekNorth Korea's Kim Jong-Un leader's 'traitor' uncle Jang Song-Thaek executed: KCNA
The execution of leader Kim Jong-Un's uncle Jang Song Thaek marks the unprecedented fall from grace of one of the most powerful figures in North Korea and the most serious political upheaval in the country in decades.
Jang Song Thaek, a native of the far northeastern border city of Chongjin who hailed from humble roots but was sharp enough to gain entry to prestigious Kim Il-Sung University in Pyongyang, rose from municipal bureaucrat to vice chairman of the National Defense Commission and member of the Political Bureau _ posts that put him in second in power only to Kim Jong-Un.
A well-traveled diplomat with a network that spread to China, Jang was considered the chief architect of economic policy that focused on partnering with the neighbor and ally.
His ties to Kim Jong-Un were more than political: Jang was married to the leader's aunt, Kim Kyong Hui, and in late 2008, he was assumed to be serving in a regency role while the young heir, then in his late 20s, was being groomed to succeed father Kim Jong-Il. Jang often accompanied Kim Jong-Un on guidance trips, and stood at his elbow at public events.
Rumors of Jang's dismissal began surfacing in Seoul last week. On Sunday, he was fired from all posts at a special party meeting and dragged away by the arms by soldiers. Four days after his dramatic public arrest, Jang was tried for treason by a special military tribunal and executed Thursday, state media reported Friday. He was 67.
The list of crimes against Jang was long, with plotting to overthrow the leadership the most serious of the allegations. Jang confessed, according to state media.
For the outside world, the 2,700-word treatise ripping Jang's reputation to shreds provided an intriguing and revealing glimpse into the murky, feudalistic world of politics in the secretive country.
For North Koreans, the shocking public humiliation of a man seen as a father figure to Kim Jong-Un was designed to send a clear message about the intolerance of opposition in a totalitarian state that demands absolute loyalty to the leader.
It was a humiliating end to a complicated career.
Jang started his career as instructor for the Pyongyang City Committee of the Workers' Party, and he rose post by post until reaching the top ranks.
He was purged and sent to a labor camp for two years in the mid-2000s, according to Kim Young-soo, a North Korea expert

Cancer is an old disease, first documented thousands of years ago. It currently strikes approximately 11 million people a year around the world and each year about seven million people die of the disease. The challenge to find the cause and develop preventive measures and effective treatments for cancer is daunting.
OICR was launched by the Government of Ontario in December 2005 to tackle the big questions in cancer research. Since its inception, the Institute has forged multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional teams to tackle the incidence, diagnosis, management, morbidity and mortality of cancer.
The Institute's research strategy builds on the strengths in the Ontario cancer research community and aims at enhancing its capability. OICR created a blueprint for its research activities from 2007-2010, which identified the themes of OICR's research – prevention, early diagnosis, cancer targets and therapeutics – and inaugurated the programs and platforms that would enable OICR to achieve its goals. New platforms in transformative pathology and genetic epidemiology have been launched this year.
In its first five years, OICR focused on creating or enhancing existing infrastructure, recruiting outstanding scientists, and launching new programs and technology platforms to establish the foundation necessary to fulfil its translational research and commercialization missions.
Partnerships and collaboration have played a large role in advancing the Institute's research. They include the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, Cancer Care Ontario, GE Healthcare, MaRS Innovation, Pfizer Global and the Terry Fox Research Institute.
The largest international collaboration has been the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), co-founded by Dr. Tom Hudson, OICR's President and Scientific Director. Launched in 2008, it will sequence the genes of 50 different cancer tumour types. OICR houses the Data Coordination Centre for the Consortium, which links to worldwide data and makes it available in a single secure location, conducts quality assessment, provides data curation services and manages data releases. The projects conducted by Consortium members are expected to produce 25,000 times the amount of data generated by the Human Genome Project. OICR also hosts the ICGC Secretariat, which manages its networking activities.
The High Impact Clinical Trial (HICT) program, a joint program of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and Cancer Care Ontario, is designed to support hypothesis-driven translational research in clinical trials and facilitate the evaluation of personalized medicine strategies and interventions. Through integrative, multi-disciplinary Translational Research Teams, the HICT program engages academic clinical trial investigators throughout Ontario to support studies involving experimental therapeutics, bio-specimen-based diagnostics and biomarker evaluations.
Last year, OICR released its second Strategic Plan outlining the Institute's four main objectives for 2010 to 2015. These are:
- Facilitate the adoption of more personalized medicine for cancer.
- Seek solutions to critical issues that could benefit patients in the next five years.
- Enhance and facilitate the digitization and interpretation of cancer data.
- Accelerate OICR's Patents to Products (Commercialization) Program.
OICR's six innovation programs are each structured as a province-wide, often international, collaboration with central leadership by a principal investigator accountable to OICR's President and Scientific Director. The six technology platforms are similarly organized with teams and leaders focused on advancing technology as well as providing the highest quality, cutting-edge infrastructure. One of OICR's greatest strengths is bridging the gap between discoveries and patients. The three translation programs will ensure the movement of promising technologies to practical applications in the clinic and marketplace and realize economic benefits for Ontario.
In formulating OICR's Strategic Plan for 2010-2015, OICR's scientific leaders identified five clinical challenges of high priority for cancer patients, physicians and public health. OICR's goal is to make an impact in these areas in five years.
1. Pancreatic cancer. The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is only five per cent. It is usually diagnosed too late when surgery is not possible and it does not respond well to treatment. OICR is leading a large-scale analysis of the genome of pancreatic cancer as a member of the ICGC and is supporting the creation of the new cell lines and mouse xenograft models needed to screen for and test potential new drugs.
2. Prostate cancer. Extensive PSA testing has resulted in over-diagnosis of prostate cancer. Since treatment involves life-altering risks, there is a need for screening and surveillance methods that allow for better characterization of the prognosis and to determine the best treatment strategy. OICR is working with Prostate Cancer Canada and Cancer Research UK to identify biomarkers that can be used to develop better tools. In collaboration with three Ontario institutions, OICR is launching a study to optimize selection of patients for active surveillance by using a new imaging/biopsy approach.
3. Early stage breast cancer. No reliable method currently exists to identify aggressive breast cancers. Current pathology tools do not provide sufficient information with which to make treatment decisions. OICR is working with breast cancer biologists and imaging probe developers to improve diagnosis. The Institute is also supporting development of improved quantitative pathology to validate new biomarker-based imaging techniques.
4. Population-based screening programs for colon cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second most frequent cause of cancer death in Canada yet most patients can be cured if the tumour is found early. OICR is partnering with Cancer Care Ontario on programs to increase screening rates. The Institute is studying the genetic and environmental causes of the disease and new imaging methods for earlier and more accurate detection.
5. Long-term adverse effects affecting children and young adults. While cancer is sometimes thought of as a disease primarily affecting the elderly, 10,000 children and young adults will be diagnosed with the disease this year. There are long-term health consequences for these patients. OICR pharmaco-vigilance research is examining the long-term effects of cancer therapy and the impact of follow-up.

For visitors preferring to paddle rather than walk, kayaking tours are the perfect way to really get into the island archipelago. Kayaking conditions are diverse , ranging from leisurely (serene water inlets) to challenging (those with strong current, prominent waves or shifting tides).
Palau's famous Rock Islands are a maze of over 400 jungle-caped, mushroom-shaped islands within the barrier reef. What better way to become more intimately familiar with them than to kayak amongst them. Shallow lagoons, tunnel entrances to hidden marine lakes and lost wrecks all await discovery for those wanting to spend some time paddling amongst the islands. The calm water and slow pace gives the explorer plenty of opportunities to observe native vegetation as well as see a variety of sea, shore, and forest birds that inhabit the rock islands.
Some of the more common birds, such as Palau's national bird, the Palauan Fruit Dove ( Ptilinopus pelewensis ) are endemic to the islands. Large fruit bats, active during the day while they glide from tree to tree in search of fruit, are also a common sight.
The snorkeling, however, is the real treat. The protected lagoons harbor a variety of colorful corals and fish. Many juvenile fish use the sheltered lagoons and protected bays as a nursery. Often times, juveniles are even more brightly colored and can be more animate than the adults.
Further, many fish make their permanent homes in the rock islands giving the avid fish-watcher a chance to see fish they would not normally encounter on the outer reef dive sites. Although racing through the rock islands to get to the dive sites is exciting, slowing down to view all of the wonders of Palau's lagoons has the potential to become even more rewarding than the famous dive sites!

BOSTON The Fitchburg Art Museum is getting a new director and the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln is losing one.
Nick Capasso has been working at the deCordova for 22 years, most recently as the museum's deputy director. He has curated scores of shows and has overseen the contemporary art collection and the outdoor sculpture park.
The suburban institution Capasso is familiar with is very different than the one he's moving to in Fitchburg.
"I've been working in this bucolic sculpture park for years and I'm eager to work in an environment that has a little more grit to it and a completely different feel," Capasso said. "The Fitchburg museum is knitted right into the fabric of Fitchburg."
Another big difference is that Capasso will be working with an encyclopedic museum with a historical collection as opposed to the deCordova's contemporary art and large-scale sculptures.
Capasso will replace Peter Timms who has served as the Fitchburg Art Museum's director since 1973 and retires in December.

As Hurricane Sandy barreled north from the Caribbean to meet two other powerful winter storms, experts said it didn't matter how strong the storm was when it hit land: The rare hybrid storm that follows will cause havoc over 800 miles from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.
SHIP BOTTOM, N.J. — Forget distinctions like tropical storm or hurricane. Don't get fixated on a particular track. Wherever it hits, the rare behemoth storm inexorably gathering in the eastern U.S. will afflict a third of the country with sheets of rain, high winds and heavy snow, say officials who warned millions in coastal areas to get out of the way.
"We're looking at impact of greater than 50 to 60 million people," said Louis Uccellini, head of environmental prediction for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
As Hurricane Sandy barreled north from the Caribbean — where it left nearly five dozen dead — to meet two other powerful winter storms, experts said it didn't matter how strong the storm was when it hit land: The rare hybrid storm that follows will cause havoc over 800 miles from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.
"This is not a coastal threat alone," said Craig Fugate, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "This is a very large area."

First lady Michelle Obama canceled an appearance in New Hampshire for Tuesday, and President Obama moved a planned Monday departure for Florida to Sunday night to beat the storm, and canceled Virginia and Colorado events on Monday and Tuesday.
In Ship Bottom, just north of Atlantic City, Alice and Giovanni Stockton-Rossini spent Saturday packing clothing in the backyard of their home, a few hundred yards from the ocean on Long Beach Island. Their neighborhood was under a voluntary evacuation order, but they didn't need to be forced.
A few blocks away, Russ Linke was taking no chances. He and his wife secured the patio furniture, packed the bicycles into the pickup truck, and headed off the island.
"I've been here since 1997, and I never even put my barbecue grill away during a storm. But I am taking this one seriously," he said.
What makes the storm so dangerous and unusual is that it is coming at the tail end of hurricane season and the beginning of winter storm season, "so it's kind of taking something from both," said Jeff Masters, director of the private service Weather Underground.
Masters said the storm could be bigger than the worst East Coast storm on record — the 1938 New England hurricane known as the Long Island Express, which killed nearly 800 people. "Part hurricane, part nor'easter — all trouble," he said. Experts said to expect high winds over 800 miles and up to 2 feet of snow as far inland as West Virginia.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to prepare to shut the city's subways, buses and suburban trains by Sunday, but delayed making a final decision.
Up and down the Eastern Seaboard and far inland, officials urged residents and businesses to prepare in big ways and little.
The Virginia National Guard was authorized to call up to 500 troops for debris removal and road-clearing, while homeowners stacked sandbags at their front doors in coastal towns.
Utility officials warned rains could saturate the ground, causing trees to topple into power lines, and told residents to prepare for several days at home without power. "We're facing a very real possibility of widespread, prolonged power outages," said Ruth Miller, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's emergency declaration will force a rare shutdown of Atlantic City's 12 casinos.

This game's been pretty boring so far, to me, but it's good to see the Wings getting some goals on Vokoun and it was great to see him get hit midway through the third. After all the times that Predators have run over Detroit goalies, it was good to see Vokoun go down for a change.
And Nashville's fans just bother the hell out of me. Hell, the whole team does. It seems like they have a "If we can't beat them, beat them up" mentality. Hockey is physical but cheap-shots are for chickensh*ts.

Opportunistic scumbags
Doesn't surprise me that some conmen show up to try and fleece the public out of money whenever they can.
Same shit, different crisis. Still, at least they're only fleecing greedy fuckers trying to sue their own government (who is paid with their own tax money) for money for "distress".

Time Team 5 - The Faceless Ones
Alien invasion at Gatwick Airport was the storyline for Patrick Troughton's The Faceless Ones.The couple of episodes that exist are on the Lost in Time dvd boxset ( recommended). This wasn't available at the time I did this I believe and I probably worked from telesnaps and the DWM Archive and a bit of imagination. Though the colouring is a bit basic ( early days using Photoshop) , I tried to push the design on artworks from this period - this being a good example.

Mr. Stilwell had his tombstone made and engraved with his name several
years ago. A short time before his death he engaged a hearse to attend his
funeral and bought gloves for the pall-bearers. He had also had his coffin
made and prepared for the occassion, and seemed to take great interest in
superintending the getting ready of his own funeral paraphernalia. He did not
have enough money to pay the entire bill, and a week before his death he sold
a cow to make final payment on his purchases. One hour before he was
killed he went in Worrell's restaurant at Matawan and ordered a stew. He
told Mr. Worrell to put plenty of oysters in it as it might be the last oyster stew
he would ever eat. He had also deeded his property over to his children, with
the provision that he was to have a home as long as he lived.

Making Culture Bloom
McCalman, Iain, Cultural Studies Review
This paper was originally delivered as the Telstra Address at the National Press Club in Canberra on 16 June 2004. The speech marked the occasion of the establishment of the Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS), a new umbrella body representing the diverse but allied interests of researchers, educators and practitioners working across those disciplines. lain McCalman rose to speak to a room full of academics, administrators, practitioners and policy experts who had descended upon the national capital to meet with federal parliamentarians to exchange views and learn about each others work. Before the afternoon was out, that audience would bring CHASS into existence at Us inaugural general meeting. As McCalman noted, it was an auspicious day indeed.1
On 16 June 1904, exactly one hundred years before the establishment of CHASS, an Irish Jew of Hungarian extraction called Leopold Bloom set off on a twenty-four hour perambulation around the streets and bars of Dublin.2 This fictional incident is the basis of James Joyce's Ulysses, the greatest novel of modern times. It has also given rise to Bloomsday, a kind of Irish literary holy day celebrated in cities all around the world. It was a specially appropriate moment for us to celebrate the birth of our new peak body, because Bloomsday provides a perfect parable for why the Australian public and government should cherish our sector.
How is it a parable? For a start, Bloomsday shows us the serendipitous way that humanistic culture can bring economic benefits to a nation, or to use the jargon of our day, how it can produce commercial spin-off. James Joyce could not have imagined that his novel would one day generate festivals around the globe, as well as a swag of income for his country of birth. When he wrote the novel, just after the First World War, he was, as usual, desperately poor, and Ulysses didn't have the look of a commercial goer. Not only was it one of the most unorthodox and intellectually demanding novels ever written, it was also bawdy enough to be banned in much of the western world. Though Joyce loved Ireland with a passion, he wrote Ulysses in part as a satirical blast against the materialism and narrowmindedness of his day. An early example of the humanities brain drain, he fled in exile to Europe where he spent the bulk of his later literary life. It was from there on 16 June, twenty years later, that he wrote wistfully in his notebook: 'Will anyone remember this date?'3
What a change he'd find, if he could return to his homeland today. Last year, being the centenary of Poldy Blooms Dublin walk, the celebrations in Ireland were especially frenzied. Bloomsday became a five-month-long festival called 1Re-Joyce 2004', extending from April through August.4 Organised by a specially convened government committee, it featured a carnival of parades, multimedia spectacles, exhibitions, films, street theatre, concerts, dances, lectures, conferences, seminars, sports events and tours. More recondite Bloomites could even attend a Yiddish Ceildhe on the Esplanade. The head of the Irish state was the official sponsor of all these activities and presided at such commemorative events as the 'parable of the plums'.5 This is an incident in the novel when two old ladies clamber up on Nelsons pillar to ruminate about life and spit plum pips at the passing citizenry. Since Nelsons pillar was long ago blown up by the IRA, the festival had to make do with its replacement, a building called the Spire situated on O'Connell St at the edge of the River Liffey. In true Bloomsian fashion Dublmers call this tremendous tower The Stiffy on the Liffey'. James Joyce would have approved.
Joyce would also have found, if he could return to Dublin today, that conditions have become a great deal more hospitable for writers like himself. For a start, he'd not have to pay tax on the earnings of Ulysses or any other of his writings. …

Nadine Gordimer was first a writer of fiction and a defender of creativity and expression. But as a white South African who hated apartheid's dehumanization of blacks, she was also a determined political activist in the struggle to end white minority rule in her country. Gordimer, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1991 for novels that explored the complex relationships and human cost of racial conflict in apartheid-era South Africa, died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Johannesburg on Sunday. She was 90 years old. Her son Hugo and daughter Oriane were with her at the time, Gordimer's family said in a statement Monday.

Gathering Place
Historical Society to host walking tour in Laconia
Not long after their return home, New Hampshire soldiers who fought in and survived the Civil War soon found they missed a sense of camaraderie in their daily life. First gathering for informal meetings, regiments by the early 1870s were attending formal banquets, and by the mid-1870s, the New Hampshire Veterans' Association was organized in Concord. Their aim was "simply to cherish those fraternal feelings engendered among men who devoted four of the best years of their lives for the maintenance of The Union," said officials with the Laconia Historical and Museum Society. "The first general reunion and encampment took place in 1875 at the Riding Park in Manchester. In 1878, The NHVA held its second reunion and encampment — its first at Weirs Landing (Weirs Beach)." Marking that journey, and the construction of the Encampment Headquarters building at Lakeside Avenue in 1885, the historical society will host a walking tour through the grounds on Tuesday, June 20, beginning at 7 p.m. There is no fee. For more information, call 527-1278 or visit www.laconiahistorical.org.

THE TELEGRAPH: The highly controversial anti-terror practice of rendition will continue under Barack Obama, it has emerged.
Despite ordering the closure of Guantanamo and an end to harsh interrogation techniques, the new president has failed to call an end to secret abductions and questioning.
In his first few days in office, Mr Obama was lauded for rejecting policies of the George W Bush era, but it has emerged the CIA still has the authority to carry out renditions in which suspects are picked up and often sent to a third country for questioning.
The practice caused outrage at the EU, after it was revealed the CIA had used secret prisons in Romania and Poland and airports such as Prestwick in Scotland to conduct up to 1,200 rendition flights. The European Parliament called renditions "an illegal instrument used by the United States".
According to a detailed reading of the executive orders signed by Mr Obama on Jan 22, renditions have not been outlawed, with the new administration deciding it needs to retain some devices in Mr Bush's anti-terror arsenal amid continued threats to US national security.
"Obviously you need to preserve some tools – you still have to go after the bad guys," an administration official told the Los Angeles Times.
"The legal advisers working on this looked at rendition. It is controversial in some circles and kicked up a big storm in Europe. But if done within certain parameters, it is an acceptable practice." >>> By Alex Spillius in Washington | Sunday, February 1, 2009

Tiger Woods is no longer on crutches, but he says in his monthly newsletter that he does not know when he will return to the PGA Tour.
The world's top-ranked golfer had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee April 15th, just two days after he finished three shots behind Trevor Immelman in the Masters. It was the second time in five years Woods had surgery on his left knee.
Woods used the crutches last week in Las Vegas at "Tiger Jam XI," a charity concert that raised more than $1.5 million for his foundation, and now, he is in a knee brace. He says he's "a little stir crazy" and hopes to start rehabilitation soon.
Woods will not defend his title next week at the Wachovia Championship, and he also will miss The Players Championship for the first time in his career. His hope was to return for the Memorial, which starts May 29th.
The U.S. Open will be played June 12-15 at Torrey Pines, a course where Woods has won six times as a pro.

Kristen Stewart Is Tired of People Comparing Her to Angelina Jolie
Aren't we all?
Robert Pattinson tells Vanity Fair that he and Kristen Stewart were never an offscreen item, and Stewart confirms, "It's so retarded. We're characters in this comic book." She also vents about the woes of being a celebrity, and is sick of people comparing her to Angelina Jolie. Talk about problems. Meanwhile, director Catherine Hardwicke swears there's a "nervous attraction" between Stewart and Pattinson. Not that she'd say that to hype an upcoming sequel or anything. Lindsay Lohan's getting over Samantha Ronson like any other starlet would: by making out with Gerard Butler. The duo locked lips on the dance floor at the Sol Kerzner Mazagan Beach Resort launch in Morocco, then left together in the wee hours of the morning. Kate Hudson clarifies that her new ring has nothing to do with an engagement to A-Rod, but she is having a tough time going off booze for an upcoming movie role. And Jude Law has yet to meet his month-old daughter, but he did manage to hook up with a "hot blonde" at the Box on Saturday night.
Rihanna describes the media chaos surrounding her Chris Brown scandal by saying she "went to bed as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears." She also partied with Ne-Yo in a tiger costume "with a tail so long a security guard had to hold it up" at M2's Halloween bash, avoiding Mariah Carey, who held court with Nick Cannon in the club's VIP area. Shania Twain and Billy Joel celebrated their divorces backstage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Concert Thursday night. A characteristically "wobbly" Mischa Barton avoided her ex, Brandon Davis, at a party on Mercer Street. After breaking up with Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman is back on the market and notes that a guy's sense of humor is important to her, explaining, "I wish it wasn't, because it really narrows down the playing field, and it usually narrows it down to fucked-up freaks. But I don't even know how to talk to someone who isn't funny." And after Kelly Rutherford filed a restraining order against her soon-to-be ex-husband, he threatened to write a tell-all about their marriage.
Some women avoid airplanes while pregnant, but Gisele's getting her pilot's license. Ryan Seacrest has an Army Reserve stalker who's facing up to four years in prison. Courtney Love said she moved to New York because her employees kept staging "bogus police raids" on her Malibu home. But it was actually just her drug counselor trying to stage interventions. Gordon Ramsay is going to be completely revolutionary and host a competitive cooking reality show called Master Chef. Ashley Tisdale got a parking ticket after tweeting about her lunch with Zac Efron. And Michael Lohan's been so busy telling the press about how he's going to save LiLo from her drug problem that he hasn't had time to actually do it. But she just thinks he's a "lunatic."
