Posts Tagged “Downside”Basically, a ponzi scheme (named after its clever inventor) is a scam where enormous profits are promised and the greedy get their claws into it to invest. There is no productive effort behind the promised profits, because the next in line investors are sucked in to provide the “profits” for the suckers who came in earlier. Nice move. The only downside is that it may lead to a lot of free lunches at the government’s hotels (also known as jails). Who said there’s no such thing as a free lunch? With that in mind there’s not much point in looking at the upside, is there? Hedge funds were doing gangbuster for quite a few years. These are the guys who play Las Vegas with other people’s shares. Not much room for us there. Las Vegas brings the idea of trying to make money at the casinos. No joke. Some poor (no pun intended) individuals actually go to these places feeding the insane illusion that they’re going to come out on top! Money make fast? You laugh - it’s tragic - especially when you … Tags: Casinos, Downside, Enormous Profits, Free Lunch, Free Lunches, Hedge Funds, Hotels, How To Make Money, Illusion, Inventor, Invest, Investors, Jails, Joke, Las Vegas, Laugh, Lead, Ponzi Scheme, Pun, Suckers

Sony PSP & PSP Slim Screen Scratch Protector (3 Pack) by TuneTattooz TMPosted by: Pokemon in Sony PSP Slim
First, the game has a lot in common with Pok mon games Silver, Gold, and Crystal. For example, players can choose to be a boy or a girl trainer, an internal clock sets events at certain times, and you re the game’s handy-dandy Pok dex helps players keep track of the many stats. You’re main goal is still to beat all the Gym Trainers and become the Pok mon Master. If you’ve played the old games, you will be right at home. But not all is the same. The most obvious change is in the battles themselves. Now that two Pok mon can fight on your side at the same time, you can tag-team them against an enemy by taking advantage of the strengths of your Pok mons while covering their weaknesses. For example, you can now have a water Pok mon watch your fire Pok mon’s back. You can also attack more than one Pok mon at a time. A whole new element to the game focuses on how berries are used in battle. And if you collect enough berries, you can take them to a Berry Blender and make a Pok Block, which is a little super-charged candy that raises your Pok mon’s “Condition” attributes. You can then groom your Pok mon for regional contests and compete for ribbons like “Best of Show,” which will unlock additional contests. There’s even strategy in how to best use your berries: pick too many and the berry tree will disappear; plant berries, though, and a tree will grow. You can also build a Secret Base in special areas of the game, which you can decorate just like you can your room. And let us not forget that Pok mon Ruby has a kickin’ multiplayer system, too. You can trade Pok mon, and link up to four players for incredible battles. The only downside is that you can’t link up with the old Game Boy Color games. –Bryan Karsh Pros:
