Risk takers were rewarded last year – if you were brave enough to invest amid the volatility, it paid off. Nearly all types of fund delivered positive returns last year, with those backing medium-size companies and high-yielding corporate bonds ranking high in the performance charts.
Cautious savers who kept their nest egg in cash, by contrast, were battered further as Bank Rate stubbornly remained at its record low of 0.5pc and the Government's Funding for Lending scheme pushed rates on savings accounts down even lower.
This year, it will not be enough simply to be in the game. Many sectors have reached their full value, experts say – so you'll have to be smart about how you balance your investment portfolio.
To help, we've asked some of the country's top fund managers to reveal where they will invest their own personal money this year. They back their convictions by using their Isa allowance to invest in their own funds, but their thoughts on markets offer fascinating insight. Many are backing smaller companies, a strongly performing asset class from last year, and several forecast a shift away from bonds and towards stock markets. For more "left field" ideas, we have also invited colourful characters from the world of business and politics to share their investment plans.
Nicola Horlick, Chairman of Rockpool Investment
Ms Horlick earned the title "City superwoman" for her meteoric rise in the City while raising a large family.
Personal investments: restaurants.
"I am very focused on private companies. I sold all of my quoted investments in 2007 and haven't invested since. Many of our companies attract tax relief under the enterprise investment scheme (EIS). We invest across all sectors. At the moment, we particularly like companies that are already established, are profitable and have a strong balance sheet.
"We are also looking at construction, which may sound odd in this environment. However, if you can find a really competent team, this can be an interesting area.
"We also like restaurants. The food and beverage sector has held up relatively well through the recession and, if we come across a management team that is strong, we are happy to back them. We are about to raise money for Chicago Rib Shack, which currently has one unit at Westfield Stratford in east London, and the company is looking to roll the concept out to other shopping centres.
"My family is investing alongside our investors in our current deal and will look to invest in other deals that we are putting together. I will not be investing in quoted stocks or funds. Having said that, it is worth doing an Isa every year and there are some companies that are quoted that have very attractive yields."
Mr Slater is the son of the legendary investor Jim Slater. His MFM Slater Growth fund has returned 104pc over the past five years.
Personal investments: growth and income equities; London property.
"I am the largest investor in the MFM Slater Growth fund, the MFM Slater Income fund and the MFM Slater Recovery fund and in our hedge fund, Northglen Aggressive (all managed by Slater Investments). I will be adding to some of these holdings this year.
"I will be focusing new cash on Slater Growth and Slater Income as my positions in the other two longer-standing funds are larger. We believe that carefully selected growth companies able to deliver reliable and dynamic increases in earnings in a generally lacklustre environment will be rewarded disproportionately.
"Meanwhile, a broad selection of stocks yielding on average 4.8pc with the prospect of dividend growth and capital appreciation is far more attractive than most alternative sources of yield.
"It is superior to cash, government bonds and most corporate bonds. Sovereign bonds have been great in recent years but only thanks to government intervention, which cannot go on forever. Government bonds risk significant capital destruction when QE [quantitative easing] reverses or even stops and when inflation returns. Holders will need to time their exit to perfection – though, sadly, most bond owners tend to be far from nimble.
"Aside from the funds, I am also planning to increase a property investment we made in a part of London that is benefiting from improved infrastructure."
Mr Marriage joined Cazenove in 2005. His UK Smaller Companies fund has returned 97.6pc in the past five years.
Personal investments: UK smaller company equities; unquoted companies.
"My own smaller-cap fund has been a great place to be since the beginning of 2009 – up by 240pc, with 37pc growth last year. In fact, UK small-caps have been one of the best places to be globally, which makes you think twice about the doom and gloom we hear, see and read so often about the UK economy.
"I would be happy to stick with it again this year; the sector was strong last year, but earnings declined on average by 7pc. If the global economy is better this year, an earnings bounce is more plausible and the forward price to earnings ratio [a way of measuring the value of a stock market or shares] of 10.8 times is not yet too stretched.
"UK smaller companies, whether 'long' or in the Absolute Return fund I also run, have been the core of my personal investments over the years. The 12pc a year that the Absolute fund [which can also take bets on assets falling] has delivered is about as cautious as I would want to go. This makes all the difference in years like 2008 when the wider small-cap market fell by more than 40pc, or 2011, when it fell by nearly 20pc. The Isa will probably go into the Smaller Companies fund, as I never seem to have enough of that one.
"I do enjoy the occasional 'off-piste' foray; UK bank convertibles [securities that pay income like a bond but with the option to convert the holding into shares], agricultural land and residential property have all featured in recent years. In the future I would like to invest in some unquoted smaller companies in a personal capacity as well."
Mr Hambro runs one of the most popular commodities funds, BlackRock Gold & General, which has returned 11.6pc over the past five years.
Personal investments: property; gold shares.
"I invest in my own funds every month via my pension. Currently I have about a 35pc allocation to the Gold & General fund.
"My wife and I use our Isa allowances every year to the full. I normally try to build extra risk into the holdings within the Isas, given the ability to generate returns free of capital gains tax. In addition we use the child trust funds (CTFs) and child Isas for our children. I hope that one day the Government will allow those with legacy CTFs to convert them into Junior Isas.
"For most of my career I have tried to run a higher-risk portfolio because of my age and lack of dependants. However, during the last five years I have toned down the risk in my portfolio thanks to having children. This has been achieved by adding more to property and blue-chip equities.
"I currently have no exposure to treasuries or any other government-issued debt. This has been the case for at least 18 months and is driven by the fact that I feel we are past the point of maximum return from these securities and investors are starting to rotate into equities.
"I try to reinvest some capital into property each year in order to balance the risks to my income that are inherent with my day job."
Mr Chatfeild-Roberts has a reputation for making correct calls on allocating assets. His Jupiter Merlin Income fund has returned 34.9pc over five years.
Personal investments: high-yielding international equities; bonds; gold.
"As the fund of funds portfolios we run are global in nature but with different investment objectives, I invest much of my money in them (outside my Jupiter shareholding), favouring the one that best fits my personal circumstances. I am currently largely invested in Jupiter Merlin Balanced, as, while markets have rallied quite a long way, I feel most comfortable having a well-diversified portfolio – it gives up to 85pc international equity exposure and also has a yield which will hopefully grow over time.
"The Jupiter Merlin Balanced fund currently has 26pc in UK equities and a further 45pc in international equity markets such as the US, Japan and the Far East. It also has 26pc in bonds and exposure to gold."
Mr Matthews joined Jupiter in 1999. His Merlin Income fund has returned 34.9pc over the past five years.
Personal investments: shares with growing dividends; platinum ETF.
"Along with many of my colleagues, I have shares in Jupiter. In addition, I make regular direct investment into the funds I am involved in managing, as well as some of my colleagues' funds, using my annual Isa entitlement. I believe that growing dividends are the main source of returns for UK investors but choose to reinvest them as I am investing for the long term.
"My only significant investment outside this is in a platinum exchange-traded fund (ETF). Labour disputes have wiped out a surplus in the metal and supplies are expected to drop further this year.
"Platinum has characteristics you might associate with a precious metal; however, the price has become relatively dislocated from the gold price and is trading at a level which barely covers the cost of mining it out of the ground. I believe these two factors could provide downside protection if the outlook for the global economy deteriorates.
"However, should the world economy improve, then platinum, which is used extensively in jewellery, could benefit."
Mr Hargreave has managed money since 1986. His Special Situations fund has returned 70.3pc in the past five years.
Personal investments: UK smaller company shares; pubs.
"I will be taking advantage of my Isa allowance to invest in the Marlborough Special Situations fund. It holds UK smaller companies, which stand to do particularly well if a decent recovery is under way, and I suspect it is.
"The US and Chinese economies are improving, the eurozone situation seems steadier and in the UK our experience of the smaller companies we own in the fund is that they are trading well. Add to that people beginning to switch out of bonds and into shares and this could be a decent year for equities, and in particular smaller company stocks.
"As far as more cautious assets go I am holding cash but not bonds, as I feel they are not a terribly attractive investment at the moment.
"On the more adventurous side, I have enterprise investment scheme (EIS) holdings in the City Pub Company (East) and the City Pub Company (West), two businesses run by the same management team that are building portfolios of free houses aimed at customers who prefer pubs that are not branded or themed.
"Your money is locked into the EIS for three years and it is quite speculative, so this would certainly not be for everyone, but it is the same management team who ran the Capital Pub Company, which did well before it was taken over by Greene King.
"The other investment I am looking at this year is a new car, a replacement for the rather battered Audi I drive at the moment."
Leigh Harrison is head of equities at Threadneedle. His Threadneedle UK Equity Income fund has returned 33.5pc over the past five years.
Personal investments: property; commodities.
"Even though equities do not shout 'buy', I think they have the potential to rise further, while I am also optimistic about the outlook for dividend growth as companies have built up strong balance sheets. Whenever the market is weak and when I can afford to do so, I certainly continue to top up my investment in the fund that I manage, UK Equity Income. I have already invested the 2012/13 Isa into my fund and will do so again in the early part of the next tax year.
"If I was more cautious I would hold more cash for short periods or diversify my portfolio by investing in property and commodities. Buy-to-let appears attractive given the current level of interest rates, but you have to take on a lot of debt to receive a decent return and this increases the risk in what is an illiquid investment.
"Investing 50pc of a portfolio in non-equity investments (other than property or commodities) would be suitably cautious, but I am reluctant to make any bond investments because, if government bond yields do rise, all other bond products, where yields are also at very low levels, will be affected.
"I am not a high-risk investor and tend to avoid unusual investments, concentrating on equities and property. That said, I have investments in property that are not readily realisable, so a potential lack of liquidity is the biggest risk I face.
"Outside the above, I have no plans for any major investments this year."

Product Description
Long before he had to learn the Bruce Springsteen songbook--prime criteria for joining the E Street band--Nils Lofgren had a lucrative solo career of some note. Granted, his history as a sideman beginning with Neil Young and Crazy Horse and for more than two decades with Bruce's band may have overshadowed some of his individual musical offerings. Early in his career post Grin, the critically acclaimed group he fronted and formed in a Maryland suburb north of Washington, D.C., Lofgren as a soloist sensed his true calling. In a bit of irony, it was Springsteen's manager, Jon Landau, formerly a renowned rock critic who wrote for Rolling Stone among others, who provided the rave review of that first album that stoked the fire for the next phase of the former classical music student's rock endeavors. (From a historical viewpoint, Landau ironically inked something similar for Springsteen--with a rather notable quote--well in advance of becoming his cohort.) Being a great proponent of teen angst in his songwriting--maybe because it was peer-group pressure or plain thinking--Lofgren switched to A&M Records for one Grin album and then released Nils Lofgren produced by the late David Briggs (also available from Hip-O Select) before this gem, Cry Tough. With the production work of seasoned keyboardist/arranger Al Kooper (the Blues Project; Blood, Sweat and Tears; Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Briggs on a select number of songs, the shared duties reaped wondrous rewards. It has to be mentioned that Briggs had a history with Lofgren before that first solo effort--as producer of Grin, and then some. For it was also Briggs who offered Neil Young a ride while he was hitchhiking and that serendipitous encounter cemented a lifelong artistic working relationship for him, primarily as Young's record producer. As intimated above, Lofgren via Briggs spent some time with Crazy Horse, Young's recording and backing group on tour. And Lofgren learning to play the piano is one of those legendary anecdotes. With Cry Tough you get the anthems, the edginess and the biting guitar licks for which Lofgren became known. From the first note of the title song through the smarminess of the closer, "Jailbait" (a gutbucket, Southern rock-flavored funky grind), it's better than a rollercoaster ride. There's even a unique arrangement and cover of the Yardbirds' classic "For Your Love" (written by future 10cc co-founder Graham Gouldman). But the tough and more sensitive stuff is truly Lofgren. Both "Mud In Your Eye" and "Incidentally...It's Over" are astute commentaries on personal relationships. "Can't Get Closer (WCGC)" is sheer youthful frustration in rock song--with some great slide guitar work courtesy of Nils. And with the authority and prescription that crazy Dr. Feelgood wrote for our multi-instrumentalist, we offer the same antidote: "Cry tough, go down your soul, you just need another shot of rock 'n' roll..." That necessary dose can all be found on Cry Tough, now available from Hip-Oselect.com.

About Time!
David E. Keller | South Florida | 07/28/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)
"It's great to have this music available on cd! I am a big fan of Nils and have been since his early work with Grin, Crazy Horse, and Neil Young back around the "After The Gold Rush" album days. Nils released this music after his first solo album, "Nils Lofgren", which has a fantastic ode to Keith Richards called "Keith Don't Go", and another great album shortly after this called "I Came To Dance" that was released around 1976. The songs are great, his guitar playing on that Strat is off the charts, and his singing is so joyful it's contagious. This cd, along with the albums Nils released right before it and right after it, are classics, and among the most solid rock'n'roll albums anybody's released back to back to back. I love them, so it has to be five stars. If you like rock'n'roll you can't go wrong with any of these three albums. There's a reason Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen both picked this guy to play with! Listen to these and find out why."

We're calling it a belated 50th birthday bash in the 50th Ward, but it's really just an excuse for two not-so-young-anymore guys to play some music on a Saturday night in one of our favorite local pubs.
On Saturday, September 20, when I regroup with my Tele-slinging pal Steve Doyle at McKellin's Pub, he and I will both be 50 years old. (Stevie turns 50 later this month; I crossed -- okay, stumbled across -- that bridge at the end of July.) To celebrate our collective century of service, we'll serve up three hours of rock-'n-roll and honky-tonk classics for the assembled West Rogers Park masses.
Given our advanced ages and high co-pays, Stevie and I will likely scale back a lot of the trademark choreography that put us on the pop culture map when we were in our mid-40s. And bathroom breaks that once took place between sets may now take place between songs, or (heaven help us) between verses.
Other than that, you'll be treated to the same type of high-octane -- but possibly Low T -- performance that we've been delivering at bars and bar mitzvahs across the city for years. If you've never seen Mr. Doyle play the guitar, you're in for a treat. He's one of the best in Chicago.
We'll do our best to honor your musical requests (although it is getting harder to remember lyrics and chord changes), and we fully expect to be joined throughout the evening by a number of special musical guests.
Hope to see you at McKellin's Pub, 2800 W. Touhy Avenue, on Saturday, September 20. All the fun starts at 8 p.m. There's no cover charge and parking is a snap.

Iran has agreed to temporarily suspend all activities connected with uranium enrichment as part of a deal with the European Union to avert any U.N. Security Council sanctions. We speak with Iranian professor and former diplomat Mansour Farhang. [includes rush transcript]
Iran has announced it will temporarily suspend uranium enrichment. In a letter to the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran said it would suspend all activities connected with uranium enrichment as part of a deal with the European Union to avert any U.N. Security Council sanctions.
On Sunday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the suspension would be in force until a final settlement is reached but stressed that the freeze was only temporary. He said, "Accepting the suspension is a politically motivated move."
The European Union wants Tehran to give up activities like uranium enrichment permanently. In return the EU could offer Iran incentives including help with a civilian nuclear program and a possible trade deal. Iran has said it will never give up enrichment technology and has denied US accusations that its atomic energy program is a front for developing nuclear weapons capability.
If the enrichment freeze is verified by IAEA inspectors, diplomats said there was almost no chance that Washington could succeed in referring the Iran case to the Security Council when the IAEA board meets on Nov. 25.
The IAEA plans to circulate a crucial report today that summarizes its two-year probe of Iran's atomic program. The report was held up for days while negotiators from Iran and the European Union struggled to break the deadlock in talks.
- Mansour Farhang, Iranian-born author and former diplomat. He served as revolutionary Iran's first ambassador to the United Nations and working as a mediator in the early months of the Iran-Iraq war. He left Iran as a dissident in 1981 and now teaches international relations and Middle Eastern politics at Bennington College, Vermont. He is the co-author of "U.S. Press and Iran: Foreign Policy and the Journalism of Deference" (Univ. of California, 1987) and the author of "U.S. Imperialism: From the Spanish-American War to the Iranian Revolution" (South End Press, 1981).
AMY GOODMAN: We're joined by Mansour Farhang, an Iranian author and diplomat who served as revolutionary Iran's first Ambassador to the United Nations and worked as a mediator in the early months of the Iran-Iraq war. He left Iran as a dissident in 1981 and now teaches international relations and Middle East politics at Bennington College in Vermont. He is author of the book, U.S. Press and Iran: Foreign Policy and the Journalism of Deference. We welcome you to Democracy Now!
MANSOUR FARHANG: Thank you very much, Amy.
AMY GOODMAN: Your response to the latest news out of Iran.
MANSOUR FARHANG: It seems that Iran has agreed to a deal which gives it the vague enough language to continue to claim that the promise is temporary, that is to say, that the request of the united states for a permanent freeze of the Iranian enrichment activities and also John Bolton undersecretary of state goes around the world and claims that Iran has violated N.P.T. measures and it has to be referred to the security council moreover, Iran, a land rich with gas and oil does not need nuclear facilities, and therefore the ultimate aim of the international atomic energy agency, ought to be that — the dismantling of all Iran's nuclear facilities. In this sense, I think Iran has agreed to satisfy the Europeans in order to contain American demand.
AMY GOODMAN: What is the difference between the demands of the European Union and the United States?
MANSOUR FARHANG: First of all, Iran has not violated any measure of — the N.P.T. The N.P.T. after intense investigation has concluded that there is no evidence that Iran is a violator. This is the fact regardless of what we think about the nature of the Iranian regime. Therefore, the Europeans are asking Iran to freeze enrichment of uranium for confidence building measures. That now because of the distrust in the world, particularly on the part of the United States towards Iran, it is in the interests of international peace and security, particularly in the middle east region, that Iran suspends its activities until such time when this distrust is sufficiently diminished then Iran would have the right to produce its own fuel for its nuclear facilities. While the United States is fundamentally opposed to Iran having nuclear energy facilities because it is true that any country capable of producing nuclear energy is potentially capable of producing enriched uranium for weapons. Since in the Middle East Israel is the only country with nuclear weapons, the United States does not want the power and position of Israel to be challenged for any regional state.
AMY GOODMAN: Do you see an attack by the United States or Israel on Iran in the near future?
MANSOUR FARHANG: In the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, when the stories appeared like this in the media to be positive that as President Bush said the mission was "accomplished," threats against Iran such as sending the case to the United Nations, military invasion, economic sanctions, even the bombardment of Iranian nuclear facilities, and even at times invasion of Iran and regime change were the threats that many American officials used against Iran, and in the early days of the Iraqi invasion the Iranians were somewhat concerned. But as the time went on, and the neoconservative designs for Iraq turn into a quagmire and disaster, Iran regained its confidence and reached the position that the United States is in no position of using military force against Iran, and therefore it intensified its negotiations with the Europeans, and they reached an agreement about six months ago to suspend the uranium enrichment activities, but last September, but Iran claimed that Europe was not fulfilling its part of the bargain and it reneged on the promise and symbolically it started the enrichment activities. Now it is extremely difficult to assume that the United States would be able to send troops to Iran, or use the kind of threats that would make the Iranians bend in the way Washington wants them. Let's remember that Iran is surrounded by American military presence, and therefore, it is the insecurity created by American invasion and military activities in the region, and also Israeli expansionist policy that has created the desire on the part of virtually every state in the region to seek nuclear weapons as the ultimate measure of protection against invasion or bombardment. Therefore, the Iranian regime could be persuaded to give up its nuclear ambition when the security situation in the Middle East is improved, but given the present policy, this agreement is simply one phase in a continuing process of confrontation and insecurity for which the United States is primarily responsible.
AMY GOODMAN: The reaction in Iran to the election of George Bush. I mean, we had heard the mullahs a few days before the election had endorsed Bush.
MANSOUR FARHANG: Well, I don't — it was not really an endorsement. Many of — generally, the Iranian authorities used to say it doesn't make any difference. This is the official line. But then within the ruling hierarchy, there was "we know George Bush." George Bush has been defeated in Iraq and the possibility that he would work with Europeans to put pressure on Iran is very minimal, while Kerry might renegotiate with the Europeans and solicit their support and create a united front against Iran. In other words, the prospect of the United States and Europe cooperating was not particularly pleasant for Iran. Therefore, the election of George Bush, a good number of them argued, would serve Iran's interests because it has the potential to continue the division between the United States and Europe.
AMY GOODMAN: Finally, Mansour Farhang, we saw you in the studios the Democracy Now! when you were translator for Shirin Ebadi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner. She is now suing the U.S. government for not allowing her memoirs to be published here because she is from Iran. Your response to that?
MANSOUR FARHANG: This is a law that the sanctions have been extended to the extent of becoming censorship, the presentation of ideas, scholarly material, articles for specialist journals have also been included. These are items against which the United States has sanctions. There are a good number of lawyers in the United States believe this is unconstitutional and it's not only about this, but a number of other publishers have filed a collective suit against this law that based on what I hear from experts, it has a good chance of success, if it goes to court.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, Mansour Farhang, I want to thank you very much for being with us, former Iranian diplomat, author and professor at Bennington College in Vermont. This is Democracy Now!. We'll be back in a minute.
MANSOUR FARHANG: My pleasure.
AMY GOODMAN: Thank you.

The Voorhis Connection
Voorhis Park
The triangular piece of land across the street to the southeast of the CLA building (98) was first established as Voorhis Park at a ceremony on Founders' Day 1997. "Voorhis Rock" was transported to the Pomona campus and repositioned in the center of the park. The boulder was originally located at the former Voorhis campus in San Dimas and bore the dedication plaque from 1950 commemorating the 1938 gift of the Voorhis School for Boys to Cal Poly for use as its southern branch. Cal Poly (Voorhis) alumni were students at the Voorhis campus from 1938 to 1956. Due to severe overcrowding at the San Dimas campus, classes were then moved to the current campus site, formerly property of the Kellogg Ranch.
The original Voorhis campus was situated on 150 acres of oak-dotted hills and mesa. As a symbol of that original setting, Cal Poly (Voorhis) alumnus Stuart Sperber donated a large oak tree appearing in the center of the park. During the 1997 ceremony, Voorhis alumni were invited to add spades of soil brought over from the old Voorhis campus. The park was formally dedicated on Founders' Day 1998 after being further developed with signage, paths, flower beds and more oak trees. The Voorhis Park Committee hopes to raise money to add more enhancements to the site.

Sentret * Furret Collection * オタチ * オオタチ コレクション
オタチ #161 Sentret: The Scout Pokemon
A very cautious Pokémon, it raises itself up using its tail to get a better view of its surroundings. If it spots an enemy, it cries loudly to warn its kind. When Sentret sleeps, it does so while another stands guard. The sentry wakes the others at the first sign of danger. When this Pokémon becomes separated from its pack, it becomes incapable of sleep due to fear.
オオタチ #162 Furret: The Long Body Pokemon
A Furret has a very slim build. When under attack, it can squirm through narrow spaces and get away. In spite of its short limbs, it is very nimble and fleet. It lives in narrow burrows that fit its slim body. The deeper the nests go, the more maze-like they become. The mother puts its offspring to sleep by curling up around them. It corners foes with speed.
My Sentret Collection! Its so small XD The reason for collecting these guys is because I own two pet sugar gliders named Jippo and Oswald, until the 5th gen and Emonga, I had Sentret. He was the closest thing to a sugar glider at the time. His flap like wings, long tail and colors just won me over! Its so weird that it evolves into a ferret XD Who I also love. I'm very fond of both and have been since jhoto came out and he was showcased. Furret has always been a member of my My Sentret Collection!

Furret is one of my teammates in Silver and I've loved them since. The design is just too adorable and needs to be in pokedoll form! This doll....this doll is perfection. She always makes my designs picture perfect but this one exceeds my expectations by 100! She did such an amazing job bringing my design to life! AAAAH. It's the exact proportions I imagined. Everything is the right length and width. The pattern and embroidery is outstanding and the way the tail curls over is dead on to what I wanted.

Tuesday Travel Inspiration: China will drown you in colour!
In a Chinese city close to Shangai, you will find the largest small commodity wholesale market in the world. The China Commodities City, as it is called, hosts thousands of stalls (approximately 62,000) with every item you could possibly imagine, from toys to plants, jewelry to home ware. Besides sales made from their stalls, they also export to countries all around the world - you probably have something at home which came from here!
Photographer Richard John Seymour recently braved into this consumerist jungle to bring us the eye-popping photographic diary of Yiwu - an explosion of colour collected in one capitalist mecca. You can find the complete collection here. Until then, may you all have a colourful week!

'Teen Wolf' Season 3B: Five Things to Expect!
We're still a month away from the season 3B premiere of Teen Wolf, but JJJ has some scoop to hold you over!
When we come back in "Anchors," Scott (Tyler Posey), Stiles (Dylan O'Brien), and Allison (Crystal Reed) are still dealing with the aftermath of their pseudo-deaths in the ritual sacrifice.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Teen Wolf
It's beginning to take a toll on all of them in very different ways, even making Lydia (Holland Roden) seem normal – comparatively, of course.
In case you missed it, check out JJJ's exclusive first look at the new cast photo!
Teen Wolf returns on Monday, Jan. 6 @ 10PM on MTV!
Click inside for five mini-teasers for the upcoming premiere…
All About Dylan
We may be going out on a limb here, but JJJ predicts this to be the season of Dylan O'Brien. He's always been our favorite sidekick, but he's more than capable of stepping up to leading man status. Heck, the first six minutes and 40 seconds of the premiere is ALL him. (And Stiles wears a V-neck, just sayin'.)
Allison & Isaac
We saw the sparks fly between these two in the first half of the season when Isaac (Daniel Sharman) was there for her, and that certainly hasn't wavered. Only thing is, will Scott be OK with a member of his pack dating his ex-girlfriend?
Old Case Resurfaces
Now that Sheriff Stalinski is keen to all the supernatural craziness of Beacon Hills, he starts to look into an old case of his that went unsolved, which doesn't sound like the best idea…
New Girl in Town
Kira (Arden Cho) makes her mark on the group through her seemingly vast knowledge of Tibetan myth, but not everyone is thrilled to have her around.
Hale Family Bonding
There is shirtless-ness. That's all we can say.

Market Research Store releases a new market research report "Global Enterprise Streaming Media Market 2011 Forecast to Industry Size, Shares, Strategies, Trends, and Growth 2017" to add to its collection of research reports.
Deerfield Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/28/2016 -- A new study on Streaming Media Software Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2011-2017. The study has 529 pages and 154 tables and figures.
Enterprise use of streaming media is for training, marketing, partner communication, departmental communication, and live streaming of events. Collaboration depends on media exchange. Every industry uses media. The studios and the broadcasters use streaming media exclusively. Streaming media files are current, they are short or they are massive. They may be somewhere in between.
Do Inquiry Before Purchasing Report: http://www.marketresearchstore.com/report/enterprise-streaming-media-market-shares-strategies-and-forecasts-2410#InquiryForBuying
It is an ongoing challenge for many enterprise organizations to maximize the expertise of scarce subject matter experts. Recent increases in outsourcing make this challenge more significant. These subject matter experts need to be able to communicate complex thoughts visually. Travel for in-face meetings reduces productivity, is costly, and can cause significant delays and missed deadlines.
Enterprise sales people need to travel for face to face meetings with customers. Everyone else in the organization can and does attend virtual meetings. Streaming media supports those encounters.
Streaming media is poised to improve productivity at the enterprise middle management and lower level of the enterprise as more people have a global reach. Streaming media can provide communication across geographical boundaries, letting teams achieve collaboration in many different working environments. Enterprises recognize that video communications, live webcasts, on-demand recordings of meetings, executive presentations, training, and product information help build competitive advantage, maximize efficiency and increase the bottom line. Delivery of video communications is complex.
Streaming media is able to reach millions of viewers simultaneously. Marketing strategy is leveraging demand for images and video that is more compelling than documents and power point. An effective enterprise video communications solution includes offerings for live video, video on-demand, digital signage, and syndication. Distribution to various viewer platforms is being extended as cell phones, ipads, and readers extend the variety of viewing platforms.
600 mobile telecom brands use Real to provide world-class messaging services. Mobile video services seek to leverage the enhanced capability of the networks, increasing popularity and affordability of smartphones, and improvements in the mobile video business. More than 600 mobile telecom brands use Real to provide world-class messaging services. With elements of fun, personalization and interoperability, systems are anticipated to achieve rapid growth.
Network upgrades put mobile video on the fast track. Changes and improvements in the mobile video ecosystem act as stimulants for the adoption of mobile video services. Key areas of bandwidth, ease of use, and content availability support to the development of the mobile video business.
Network improvements allow faster data transfer speeds with lower latency. The development and deployment of mobile broadcasting technology is leveraging those higher speed transmission capabilities. Mobile operators seek to monetize rising demand for mobile video, particularly given the huge strain that bandwidth-rich video and streaming television can put on a mobile network.
According to Susan Eustis, the primary author of the study, "Streaming media permits collaborative interactive presentations. Streaming media is far superior to static presentations. Collaboration between teams worldwide permits the enterprise to work on projects 24x7, with the streaming media providing information to the next team about the state of a project."
Enterprise streaming media markets at $336.1 million in 2010 are anticipated to reach $1.1 billion by 2017. Growth is the result of the improved visualization brought by video.

Because it's turning out to be that kind of semester, I'm late to the party in responding to this essay (PDF) by Scott E. Kern bemoaning the fact that more cancer researchers at Johns Hopkins aren't passionate enough to be visible in the lab on a Sunday afternoon. But I'm sure as shooting going to respond.
First, make sure you read the thoughtful responses from Derek Lowe, Rebecca Monatgue, and Chemjobber.
Kern's piece describes a survey he's been conducting (apparently over the course of 25 years) in which he seemingly counts the other people in evidence in his cancer center on Saturdays and Sundays, and interviews them with "open-ended, gentle questions, such as 'Why are YOU here? Nobody else is here!'" He also deigns to talk to the folks found working at the center 9 to 5 on weekdays to record "their insights about early morning, evening and weekend research." Disappointingly, Kern doesn't share even preliminary results from his survey. However, he does share plenty of disdain for the trainees and PIs who are not bustling through the center on weekends waiting for their important research to be interrupted by a guy with a clipboard conducting a survey.
Kern diagnoses the absence of all the researchers who might have been doing research as an indication of their lack of passion for scientific research. He tracks the amount of money (in terms of facilities and overhead, salaries and benefits) that is being thrown away in this horrific weekend under-utilization of resources. He suggests that the researchers who have escaped the lab on a weekend are falling down on their moral duty to cure cancer as soon as humanly possible.
The unsupported assumptions in Kern's piece are numerous (and far from novel). Do we know that having each research scientist devote more hours in the lab increases the rate of scientific returns? Or might there plausibly be a point of diminishing returns, where additional lab-hours produce no appreciable return? Where's the economic calculation to consider the potential damage to the scientists from putting in 80 hours a week (to their health, their personal relationships, their experience of a life outside of work, maybe even their enthusiasm for science)? After all, lots of resources are invested in educating and training researchers -- enough so that one wouldn't want to break them on the basis of an (unsupported) hypothesis offered in the pages of Cancer Biology & Therapy.
And while Kern is doing economic calculations, he might want to consider the impact on facilities of research activity proceeding full-tilt, 24/7. Without some downtime, equipment and facilities might wear out faster than they would otherwise.
Nowhere here does Kern consider the option of hiring more researchers to work 40 hour weeks, instead of shaming the existing research workforce into spending 60, 80, 100 hours a week in the lab.
They might still end up bringing work home (if they ever get a chance to go home).
Kern might dismiss this suggestion on purely economic grounds -- organizations are more likely to want to pay for fewer employees (with benefits) who can work more hours than to pay to have the same number of hours of work done my more employees. He might also dismiss it on the basis that the people who really have the passion needed to do the research to cure cancer will not prioritize anything else in their lives above doing that research and finding that cure.
If that is so, it's not clear how the problem is solved by browbeating researchers without this passion into working more hours because they owe it to cancer patients. Indeed, Kern might consider, in light of the relative dearth of researchers with such passion (as he defines it), the necessity of making use of the research talents and efforts of people who don't want to spend 60 hours a week in the lab. Kern's piece suggests he'd have a preference for keeping such people out of the research ranks, but by his own account there would hardly be enough researchers left in that case to keep research moving forward.
Might not these conditions prompt us to reconsider whether the received wisdom of scientific mentors is always so wise? Wouldn't this be a reasonable place to reevaluate the strategy for accomplishing the grand scientific goal?
And Kern does not even consider a pertinent competing hypothesis, that people often have important insights into how to move research forward in the moments when they step back and allow their minds to wander. Perhaps less time away from one's project means fewer of these insights.
The part of Kern's piece that I find most worrisome is the cudgel he wields near the end:
During the survey period, off-site laypersons offer comments on my observations. "Don't the people with families have a right to a career in cancer research also?" I choose not to answer. How would I? Do the patients have a duty to provide this "right", perhaps by entering suspended animation? Should I note that examining other measures of passion, such as breadth of reading and fund of knowledge, may raise the same concern and that "time" is likely only a surrogate measure? Should I note that productive scientists with adorable family lives may have "earned" their positions rather than acquiring them as a "right"? Which of the other professions can adopt a country-club mentality, restricting their activities largely to a 35–40 hour week? Don't people with families have a right to be police? Lawyers? Astronauts? Entrepreneurs?
How dare researchers go home to their families until they have cured cancer?
Indeed, Kern's framing here warrants an examination of just what cancer patients can demand from researchers (or any other members of society), and on what basis. But that is a topic so meaty that it will require it's own post.
Besides which, I have a pile of work I brought home that I have to start plowing through.

Hispanics demonstrate importance at voting booth and at cash register
The hype about the importance of the Hispanic vote became a reality during the 2012 elections, where Hispanics were 10 percent of the overall voting block and significantly more in key swing states like Florida, Colorado and Nevada. Latinos voted for President Barak Obama 71 to 27, a gap of 44 percentage points – larger than the 36 point gap the president had over John McCain in the last election.
While there is understandable attention being given to this important voting bloc on the heels of the election, the results of the election should serve as a wake up that this demographic will be influential for the long term – both at the ballot box and at the cash register.
While there is understandable attention being given to this important voting bloc on the heels of the election, the results of the election should serve as a wake up that this demographic will be influential for the long term – both at the ballot box and at the cash register.
And, the clock is ticking as by 2042, Whites will be the minority in the United States, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.
The influence is also not limited to population growth. Economically, Latinos account for more than $1.3 trillion in economic purchasing power, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth. In terms of industries, Hispanics are expected to account for 40 percent of the net new households in the next 10 years, Hispanics spend more at supermarkets, outpace non-Hispanics on smart phone and table purchases and Spanish-language TV networks consistently outperform English-language ones among key demographics. Add to this the fact that Hispanic-owned businesses grew 43.7 percent compared to the national rate increase of 18 percent and that Hispanics are now largest minority group among U.S. 4-year university students, the case for Hispanics' long-term economic importance begins to take shape.
The market is there and the numbers are compelling, but many companies continue to put Hispanic marketing on the back burner, say they don't have a budget to do Hispanic marketing or think they are already reaching Hispanics through their English-language campaigns.
Let me be clear. There is a major difference between reaching Hispanics and connecting with Hispanics. Connecting with Hispanics requires a credible and culturally-relevant approach. Trusting relationships must be established and cultivated, and approaches cannot focus solely on language. Hispanics see straight through lackluster efforts such as translations, asking for our vote the last two weeks before an election or remembering us only during Hispanic Heritage Month.
The key is in transcreating rather than translating. Transcreation is the cultural-adaptation of marketing and sales messages to reach Hispanics in a language they understand both literally and metaphorically. Transcreation focuses on what motivates Hispanics to purchase or consume goods and services rather than on whether they speak Spanish or English. In other words, knowledge of how culture influences a Hispanic's decisions is more important than language preference.
Success also requires adequately allocating budgets to reach this important segment. The Hispanic market must be integrated into an overall market strategy and not treated just as a niche market. There are no easy short cuts.
Now is the time to begin.

Abstract: A common complication of exodontia is the fracture of a root tip (Figure 1). Often the root fragment is visible but withdrawing it can be troublesome. It is usually out of reach of conventional surgical instruments, such as luxators and forceps, and longer instruments such as probes cannot grip the fragment sufficiently. While bone removal can be carried out to facilitate access, a quicker and less invasive option has been reported using Hedstrom endodontic files.1

Thoroughly geared for the small fry, this pleasant silent western starred the strapping Tom Tyler, freckled boy actor Frankie Darro, and Tyler's faithful dog, Beans. The three pals (with Darro's sister Elsie Tarron in tow) are searching for the villain, known only as the "Black Rider," who murdered Tyler's father (Bert Hadley). Since sneering Harry Woods appears in the cast, Cyclone of the Range is not too taxing a prairie "whodunit." The film's director, Robert DeLacy, was the father of Philippe DeLacy, a boy actor too decorative for the rough-and-tumble world of series westerns.

About this document
The purpose of this FAQ is to help advise players on how to prepare themselves
for the gripping hell that is Dead Space 3 Hardcode mode. I completed this
mode legitimately, as in I didn't modify my system settings or make copies of
a save file. I will NOT answer questions on how you can do that, so don't ask.
About me
I've been playing games now for 35 years, the first of which I 'beat' was
Pitfall II for the Atari 2600. My god that was a long time ago. By now, I
have completed hundreds, if not thousands of titles on dozens of systems.
I am a freelance web developer here in McKinney, TX where I live with my
I wrote the original Dead Space 2 hardcode FAQ (found here on Gamefaqs.com),
and thought it would take a lot to be a tougher experience. Well kiddies, here
it is.

[01] What is Hard Core?
For those that complain that DS3 is not a survival horror game (with which I
agree, it's a pretty solid action game), try this mode and then say that again.
Dead Space 2 hardcore was all about inventory management, pacing, and playing
though about 3 hours at a stretch. If you could accomplish that, you earned a
rest and opportunity to continue from that point.
Dead Space 3 is considerably different - you can save and reload at anytime,
but if you die, that's it. The fear and panic is so overwhelming at later
stages that it can substantially affect your gameplay.
I clocked in at about 8 hours when the credits started rolling.
[02] What this guide will and will not do
These thoughts apply to Dead Space 3 as they did to Dead Space 2, so they are
included again:
I am not going to tell you how to fight, as you should know before starting.
I am not going to tell you where all of the enemies or items are, as everything
is where it is in other modes. I won't be breaking down damage specs from the
weapons to pinpoint which is best. What I will do is offer you advice on how I
ran the campaign, including what weapons I assembled at the bench, and how to
tackle certain enemy types reliably. There are far too many combinations to go
through, and that's not the point. I built the best weapons for me which I
will share in this guide, and I am interested in hearing what works for you.
But if I do not endorse your weapons, don't hate me.
[03] General Advice
There are certain things to know immediately.
Finish the campaign on normal or hard first, so that hardcore unlocks. Second,
finish the campaign on pure survival, so that several important items unlock
for your hardcore run. You gain access to a large stash of components, as well
as improved frames and weapon parts that make a substantial difference. For an
easier run, this is incredibly important.
If you die, quit playing and come back days later, unless you are in chapter 1
or 2. If you start over again immediately, you will be so frustrated that you
won't be able to handle it.
Remember, you can save whenever you want so take a LOT of time off. I ran the
campaign over the course of a week. The stress gets so overwhelming that you
will really need the rest.
Ammunition and health are in constant supply, you will not need to buy
anything. Following my advice, components can get limited in this run, so don't
waste semiconductors, transducers or tungsten.
Pick up everything that drops. If you are out of space and it's ammo or health,
move on. Stomp your enemies after they die. Make sure that they drop their
items before moving on, or you will regret it quickly.
Be liberal with healing. In the regular campaign I would happily run around
with 60% health, but here I was concerned if I only had 90% filled. Don't
overuse and waste it, just don't leave it in your pack as the unknown
incoming swipe can ruin your week.
[04] Weapon Advice:
In the beginning, you are carrying a basic plasma cutter and submachine gun,
neither or which are phenomenal. The cutter will be your go-to weapon for the
first 5 or 6 chapters, until you can build something worthwhile. Here's what
I carried, which allowed me to dominate all combat throughout the game.
Weapon 1 upper- Assemble a telemetry spike with a diffraction torus tip. This
creates a chaingun with an impressive clip size and no spin-up time. There is
a minimal spread that is not affected by firing, so short controlled bursts
are not necessary. With a circuit focus on damage and clip size, your
chaingun can be holding 130+ rounds and can drop enemies and obliterate them
in about 20-30 rounds per. Without your having to reload every 5 seconds, this
weapon is incredibly useful. It allows you to be less accurate and still
reliably provide the same damage. A HUGE plus is that this weapon absolutely
DESTROYS alien necros in the later stages. Couple it with either an ammo box
for a free instant reload, or stasis coating. I also made sure to carry an
ammo support module. The ammo box saved my butt twice during the hardcore
Weapon 1 lower- Assemble a plasma core with the default tip. Your greatest
threat in this game comes when one or more enemies close in on your personal
space. As your primary weapon has no serious crowd control options, the
absolute best defense is a default force gun. Your weapon will contain 12-13
shots per clip, which is more than enough. Blast the crowd back, and then
tear off their limbs with the chain gun.
But wait, what happens when I get swarmed by the Feeders? I agree, that's why
I keep weapon 2 on standby:
Weapon 2 upper- Assemble a rip core with the default tip. Useful in any close
range scenario where there is a swarm of weak enemies trying to eat your face.
Attach a flame glaze for entertainment value.
Weapon 2 lower- Assemble a plasma core with the default tip. The same critical
rules apply to this weapon - keep everyone away, and you will live longer. You
CAN fire the force blast while the blade is spinning, so be mindful of that
Prioritize all circuits on your chaingun, and use your backups on the ripper.
The chaingun will be in your hands for 95% of the campaign.
[05] Enemy Advice:
Maybe it's just me, but combat seems overhauled. On so many occasions, the
guns I tried out at first couldn't keep the enemies at bay and I just kept
soaking up tons of damage. I kept getting frustrated when they would duck
under my shots, close the distance and then hug the left side of the screen
wailing on my knees. Combat dynamics are just different this time around,
and the enemy combinations and variants like the Wasters force you to keep
adjusting strategies.
This is why keeping them out of arms reach is so incredibly important.
This guide is not going to focus on specific enemy details so much, as most of
them require the same approach - target the legs, blast from a distance, and
use the force gun to give you some space when they get close. Any enemies
that don't require this approach or I feel require specific notes will be
The old trick of hiding out of sight and forcing him to close the distance just
doesn't work anymore. The locations where you fight him tend to all be in open
ranges, so hit him first and use cover if available.
Your only reason to carry the Ripper. Funnel them into a narrow pathway and
burn them down. When lowered inside the alien via the cage, I like to hide
inside the cage and funnel them into the door.
Stalker (raptors that hunt in packs)-
My recommended Ripper technique no longer works on these guys - too many times
I went for the feet and had them run right through it, especially the advanced
ones in later stages. Let them run at you screaming, waiting to fire until they
present a target. Keep your finger on the force gun trigger for when they are
almost on you. And ALWAYS keep on the outskirts of the battlefield with them.
Know when and where they spawn, especially in the ice caves where I was
chain-bombed by three of these guys.
Leaper (scorpion)-
What was in DS2 the biggest threat is now an easy target. In every
confrontation except the first, they are all downrange and have to charge you
across an open field.
Forcegun to the face, then tear off his limbs. He apparently loves to hug and
kiss more than the average necromorph.
Alien Necromorph-
Stasis the body, and apply about 40-50 rounds into his torso and arms, and he's
dead before he can move. In chapter 18 when the swarm of these guys chases
after you, the advanced TK pad makes this even easier.
Guardian (the guy stuck in the wall)-
Keep at range and chaingun him. There are only two in the campaign.
Nest (stationary enemy with three yellow pods, throws projectiles)-
Ranged weapons only. You will take too much damage from the others when focused
on one at close range, and you need the dancing room to avoid the incoming
[06] Chapter Advice
The first 5-6 chapters will be your biggest challenge, when you are weak and
underarmed. Avoid ALL optional missions and component caches that are off of
the beaten path - keep yourself on a linear course of A to B, and by all means
stay alive.
Prioritize health and armor in your RIG as soon as possible. With the added
components, you should have a good headstart.
[C01] Chapter 1:
Make sure you are at the end of the train before Davik gets to '1', or you get
to restart from the beginning. To make that easier, shoot a stasis blast
BETWEEN the last two soliders, and then take them out.
[C02] Chapter 2:
Keep your submachine gun out during the fly-through sequence. Fly straight at
the mines, blasting as you go. Remember, ammo is of no concern in this mode, so
use it. Trying to simply avoid everything will cause an impact with a mine,
spinning you into a wall.
[C03] Chapter 3:
Overall, this chapter is not difficult. The only potential point of failure is
when you are powering up the reactor, and have to deal with incoming enemies
from 2 directions in a darkened environment. Stay healthy, and keep on your
[C04] Chapter 4:
Slow yourself down when coming back through the now active fans. Stasis the
first one, move through it, then stop moving while slowing the second. In the
past I have moved too quickly through this section with disastrous results.
[C05] Chapter 5:
Now the terror begins.
When you clear the path for the tram, be mindful of the 4 or so spitters that
pounce on you at once. I was nearly killed on hardcore when I got penned in and
grappled. Keep moving, and take them out from a distance. And remember the one
that waits in the elevator.
When it's finally time to deal with the hunter, I hope you have already built
the chaingun/forcegun, because you are going to need it. Just keep tearing his
limbs off and running for the door. Arm up and heal at the bench, and don't
mind the stressful music too much. When you reach the room to summon the tram,
race for the panel and activate it immediately. Then it's a matter of looping
in a circle, while keeping the hunters crawling behind you. All you really need
to do is take off his legs and his threat level is substantially minimized. Do
NOT take a stand over by the panel - you will get boxed in and die.
There is a stasis recharge point here, so prioritize on the enemies other than
the hunters, keep moving, and use stasis liberally. When the tram is about 20
seconds out, make a big long loop around the room and time it so that you get
to the gate when it turns blue. Dash inside and get the heck outta there.
[C06] Chapter 6 (a really good time to take a rest):
Go ahead and get off the tram in mid-section, there are a few items you can
pick up. Just don't go into the conning tower.
Head on over to aft section, and cut off the hunters knees before escaping into
the elevator.
Keep an eye out for the exploders, and keep killing enemies until things quiet
down. This was the second and final time I was nearly killed in combat, when an
exploder caught me unaware. Build the relay, and gas up the tank.
This part may seem terrifying, but it's really a matter of timing. Let the
engines fry the two enemies coming for you, then dodge their flame. Time your
incapacitation of the hunter such that the flame has ended, and then run past
him and down the ladder.
When you open the door, don't move. Time your run past the flame from the wall.
Drop the hunter, then ride the elevator. Walk slowly until the flame jumps from
the wall. Make sure to kill the Waster in front of you, as the flame itself
won't do it for you. Ride to the other side, then down the elevator. Time your
move past the flame from the floor, then through the door and past the one from
the wall.
You are now homefree - finish the gunnery section.
[C07] Chapter 7:
Take a rest here too, that section was terrifying. When ready, fly down to Tau
Volantis. Don't screw up, that's all I will say.
[C08] Chapter 8:
If you have landed on Tau Volantis, you have a really good chance of surviving
hardcore. Now that you have a powerful weapon and your RIG is geared up, you
can manage combat quite effectively. Keep your heat levels up, and progress
directly through the snow. Backtrack as necessary to warm up, and race to the
[C09] Chapter 9:
You better have your ripper assembled by now, as you will need it. You CAN just
sneak by them, but what's the fun in that? Shine your light in their eyes, hide
in a corner and funnel them into you. The rip core will tear them up almost by
a single touch. Look at all the stuff!
Do NOT miss your stasis shot on the machines, or kiss 3-4 hours goodbye.
The snowbeast is of no challenge with the chaingun. Race to the hill (invisible
through the blizzard at first), and keep moving around it. This keeps him from
charging or jumping at you. The spread from the weapon makes it easy to hit his
appendages. Stasis him when the inner tentacles pop out, and blast one of them
off. Do that twice, and the encounter is done.
[C10] Chapter 10:
There is nothing challenging about the early going in this chapter - keep your
head down, and shoot the soldiers. Remember that when you hack the door into
the drilling room, a Waster will pop out and attack you, so engage the
unlocking mechanism, then when the logo comes on screen drop out and tear down
the assassin.
The drill isn't bad. All you have to do is stay out of its way, and the
incoming damage from the enemies seems quite minimal in this encounter for some
When you head up to the furnace, kill the enemies you have to, power it up and
the race for the elevator. You can ignore those that spawn when you are running
for home, as they back off when you step inside.
[C11] Chapter 11:
The stalkers can be a problem without the chaingun. Your ripper just can't stop
them reliably like it could in DS2, so shelve it. Let them come charging at you
screaming, and take them down by aiming at their face. Use the force gun if
they are almost on top of you.
There are no enemies in the warehouse where you find the three pieces, so
The second fight with the snowbeast conveniently has another huge hill that you
can use to keep him away from you. Drop him three times to end it.
[C12] Chapter 12:
The probe gun sucks as a weapon, so use it only to tag the nodes.
I actually pulled this off with the chaingun, which I regret. When lowered into
the giant creatures innards, I camped out inside the cage and took them down in
the doorway. The ammo box on the chaingun saved me, as I ran out of ammo during
the fight. I really suggest doing this part with the ripper. Alternatively, you
could just keep running and firing behind you, but you can get trapped that
After you get out, put away the probe gun and pick your second gun back up.
The battle with the hivemind can go pretty easily. I got beat up bad by the
feeders chasing me, but when you turn your weapon on the beast, the chaingun
does incredible damage to its chestpiece. Tagging the 4 yellow spots while
being sucked in is easy, due to the weapon spread.
Once inside, keep at range and blast the three nests. Do not engage them at
close range.
[C13] Chapter 13:
Here it is, the scariest part. Take a rest before you do this, as you will need
your nerves. If you survive this, you can finish hardcore mode.
On every climb, I take the route on the right. I strongly advise that you play
this section on another difficulty level to get the pattern down - it's too
easy to eat a giant boulder because you mistimed a dash.
I will let you in on a little secret... you DO have a pause button... and the
system DOES have a power button...
Be wary of the exploders in the ice tunnel, and when you spawn them run back so
you don't get pincered by incoming enemies. Do this for every fight in the
Once again, use the hill to your advantage with the snowbeast. He will kill
your other enemies for you, if you let him. Once you get him on the opposite
side of the hill, race for the generator and turn it on. Stand under the
overhang, and keep moving side to side. Once he's tagged, kill him - don't quit
mashing the button until he's dead.
[C14] Chapter 14:
This is a really long chapter, which you can tackle in different ways.
When you are outside pursuing the piece in the biology sector, the second
stalker section always gives me trouble (after the rickety bridge, then up the
freight elevator). If you engage them from under the overhang by the elevator,
a stalker will drop in behind you. Possibly the safest approach is to sneak
yourself over to the door to the bio lab. Don't leave these guys behind,
because they will still be there when you get back.
When you have to ride the elevator down and turn on the pump for the gas, know
that the two Wasters that pop out of the walls will only follow you up through
the vents if you leave them there. They will easily be on you before you get
the door open, so the solution is to take them out from inside the elevator
while its still on the bottom floor.
The first piece in paleo can be obtained without firing a single shot. Sneak to
the elevator and down - if you can keep out of the path of 4 elite Feeders,
it's yours. Given the danger of this mode, I do NOT recommend that. It's best
to set up a last stand defense while standing on the elevator. You can easily
sneak up to it from the top floor by going left.
If the Feeder swarm gets too nasty, you can force them to regroup by making the
elevator change floors.
The last piece in paleo must be won through violence. You will get noticed as
you sneak out no matter what, and there are two pregnants on the other side of
the exit. The solution to this room is to wake them up, then hide in the
entrance and let the large doors close. This funnels them through the vent one
at a time, which puts the fight on your terms.
Get back to Ellie - you are almost done.
[C15] Chapter 15:
Know your route through the gas before this chapter starts, and don't waste
time. If you get caught in it even once, chances are you will not make it out.
I've never been hit directly by a rocket in hard mode, and now is not the time
to find out if it will one-shot you. Duck down before you come into view, and
the first rocket solider will go down under concentrated fire without getting a
single shot off. The second one WILL put a rocket into the wall behind you (and
stun you), but you can drop him before he can finish reloading.
Be patient with the stalker/solider section right after, let them fight it out
and you clean up the rest. Race up the elevator and through the ruined gate.
Congratulations, this is the hardest fight in the game.
Your salvation lies in a small niche just to your right. When the fighting
starts, hole up in this small space, and defend the entrance. To spawn the
entertainment, walk slowly forward until several slashers burst out of the
ground, then get to your spot. 5-6 slashers will try to get in, which are easy
to take down. After that, 5-6 soldiers will do the same - expect one grenade to
be lobbed in your direction. Lastly, pick off the lone straggler up on the
bridge. Whew, you're half-done.
Proceed almost to the door, walking backwards, until you hear someone yelling.
Run like mad back to your spot, and expect to be stunned by rockets. It doesn't
hurt to keep rolling as you get closer. Once inside, expect about 8-10
twitchers, 2 at a time, to charge your spot.
Stasis and forcegun is the order of the day - use them in conjunction to give
yourself enough space to time a reload. If you can successfully pull that off,
you can survive the onslaught. After they are gone, you can get the drop on the
two rocket soldiers above you, but CAREFULLY.
[C16] Chapter 16:
When the elevator comes into view, race to the railing and QUICKLY take out the
soliders riding it. Doing so makes the first drop incredibly less damaging.
Rappel down, and do nothing but jump all the way. Ignore every enemy you see,
and keep running. When you get to the door, haul it to the elevator, running
Perform the same process with the second elevator, except you want to stop and
take out the explosives on the way down.
You won't be able to take out the soliders on the elevator the third time, so
just keep jumping and weather the damage, as it's minimal. When the alien
necro jumps out, have your chaingun in hand.
I hope you have a lot of +2 damage and at least +1 clip in every socket,
because this is the moment for which you built this thing.
Stasis the alien, and train your fire on his arm - watch what happens. Jump
down, and wipe out the stragglers including the second alien.
For the fourth rappelling sequence, just keep jumping down ignoring everything
in the way. Stasis the fan, and drop through.
[C17] Chapter 17:
Interestingly enough, this chapter is completely straight forward. You do have
one alien necro to tear down, for which you will see how the chaingun handles
in a straight up fight.
Anytime you are about to perform one of the flying sequences, race immediately
to the tk pad that launches you, then cover your rear while you wait for it to
activate. In a couple of cases, enemies will be chasing close behind.
[C18] Chapter 18:
Are you reading this? Are you still alive? If so, you should probably take a
rest right here, because the fear of replaying the last 7 hours can get
incredibly overwhelming.
The swarm of necros in the huge circular room is best dealt with by
antagonizing them, and then racing back to the door. Take them down one by one,
making the reinforcements continue to spawn and become isolated. In time, the
flood will cease, and you can proceed.
Be mindful of the next fly-through. A single error ends it all.
For the final stalker sequence, stand in the corner and aim your viewpoint
where both paths to you are clearly visible on your screen. The stalkers will
regularly charge from both directions, and an exploder will drop in from the
left - listen for his scream. Once the music dies, pick your way carefully
though, looking for cysts.
When you ride up and engage the machine with TK powers, do NOT stand on a TK
pad and fight it out. Everytime, I would get surrounded. Instead, start
spinning the one in the middle to rile everyone up, then run underneath one of
the corner pieces. From here, you have about a 45 degree angle to cover, and
the enemies will be charging down both lanes and get torn to pieces. True, the
TK powers will be unavailable, but you will survive easily.
Race all the way back, and when you reach the circular room with the TK pads,
be ready for the 6 alien necros. Use a TK pad for super stasis, and chaingun
the heck outta them at range. They die so easily it's almost tragic.
Run all the way back, open the final path, and then head all the way back to
where chapter 18 started. Clear this area by moving left first (I had
continuous spawns from the left when I went right first), and then to the right
by the bench. When ready, open the gate and head to the final rappelling
Timing, timing, that's all I can say. The terror will be gripping you hard as
you make your way up.
[C19] Chapter 19:
Seriously, turn it off for now. If you are here, you need to calm your nerves.
In twenty minutes, it will all be over one way or the other.
Take out the enemies as you proceed, especially the alien. Prioritize the
tentacles and stasis them to give you time to line up your shots. Keep moving,
as you WILL die if you take too long.
The flying sequence is terrifying - I actually ran into a necro which spun me
near a wall. Remember that just before you land a large piece of metal comes at
you from the top of the screen.
More enemies, more tentacles, no time. Keep running. When the spitter pops up
in your face, force blast him down to keep him at bay. Tear up the final
enemies, and take a break at the bench.
The final battle is incredibly easy, if you can just get there. All that stands
in your way is one more flying sequence. Do NOT screw this up, as it's the
culmination of 8 hours of your life, possibly over a week like me. Make it
Once you land, breathe easy. Make sure to use the TK pad to rip off the enemy
limbs - it's the fastest way to down them.
Don't forget to mash the button at the end!
Your reward, along with having to watch the damn 12 minute credit video again,
is quite goofy. It turns the entire game into an old school version of DOOM,
with 16 bit color and the enemies become sprites with like 4 frames of
animation. I turned it off after about 5 minutes. Thanks a lot, Visceral!
