With tensions rising, the I Love New York house is feeling more and more like a prison yard.
Gentlemen, meet your warden:
Last time, we started with the best thing we could possibly open on, but this time, it's the worst:
Someone's messing with Midget Mac! And it's not who the subtitle would lead you to believe! No one messes with Midget Mac and gets away with it. If only I had a time machine/jumbo jet that could take me back five months and to the Hollywood Hills! Then this thing would be over faster than Mac can refer to himself in the third person.
As it stands, however, Tailor Made has the idea to stir the pot as much as possible, I suppose to get his competitors riled up enough to have them eliminate themselves. It's funny, really, the fine line between strategist and jerk-off. He informs Midget Mac that the Entertainer has been making fun of his height, prompting Midget Mac to reply, "I was born short!" Because, you know, if he chose to be that way, it'd be OK to mock him.
Midget Mac gets so riled up, he bounds up the stairs, limbs flailing.
It's official: every single thing this guy does is adorable. I want to hire his right leg to be my broom.
Midget Mac, quite awesomely confronts the Entertainer…
The Entertainer has very little to say about this to Midget Mac — he, in turn, confronts Tailor Made for letting Mac believe that he's heightist or whatever it's called when you're anti-little person.
The Entertainer flips out…
Midget Mac becomes more defiant…
And ultimately, no one wins. Except for us. We get to see this play out for god knows how many episodes. Make Tailor die slowly, guys.
Before the episode's real challenge: a fake one.
Buddha ingeniously masterminds a scheme to get back at Tailor Made and It for the drama they caused during the last elimination: he and the other guys stage a mock challenge that suggests that whomever stands outside the longest will win breakfast with New York. No one is smart enough to realize that breakfast is no good if you're sleeping through it and that, as she later points out, New York is not a breakfast person. Unless you count those two scoops of Newports she eats in a bowl every morning. Mmmmm, fiber!
Absolutely brilliant.
And then: good morning, sunshine!
The only rays of warmth they bask in are those emanating from New York's laughter when she tells them they've been punk'd.
You know, Buddha's stunt was so entertaining, the next challenge on this show should be a challenge challenge, in which the dudes must brainstorm a challenge to present to their peers. This show's only getting more meta, so…
Anyway, Tailor Made is pissed that he was made a fool of by the guys. He takes his anger out on a light fixture.
Oooh, menacing! If he gets really mad, he's liable to break a filament.
Today's challenge requires the guys to come up with a business plan to build the "New York empire." They're divided into teams:
Cheezy, It, Tailor Made
Wolf, Buddha, 20 Pack
Man Man, Midget Mack, the Entertainer
Punk, Pretty, Mr. Wise
The brainstorming begins, although coming from this group, it's more like a braindrizzle.
The Entertainer decides that his group should create a perfume in New York's name. Except, since they don't have perfume, that bottle of Bombay Sapphire will have to do. Via the pose the Entertainer is striking above, I get the distinct impression that this perfume smells like homelessness.
"That idea came from right here!" he says. No it didn't — it came out of pores from all over his body. For his final trick, he puts a "veil" on the bottle:
They say you can't polish a turd, but certainly, you can always put a cape on one.
Meanwhile, Pretty learns the splendor of fancy markers.
"Hey, we got a glitter marker here, y'all!" he enthuses. Sounds like a man after New York's heart. Or, perhaps, her wardrobe.
Meanwhile, Cheezy thinks that New York belongs in a Foxy Brown-esque movie. "Blaxploitation's certainly the way to go," he reasons. Indeed. It's worked so far. Except It disagrees. His idea is more…socially conscious. "We're gonna buy the AIDS test-es…" Or perhaps he is unconscious. That would explain the mumbling and drooling. Cheezy, naturally, takes issue with this.
And It, being the good-natured Charly type, figures out a way to combine both ideas:
At last, the female condom has a high-profile champion!
Then, it's time for the presentations. Helping New York will be Sister Patterson and this woman:
She should come in handy whenever New York leaks a sex tape or needs a toupee.
20 Pack, Wolf and Buddha present their creation, basically what amounts to a bedazzled iPod:
New York is unimpressed.
Some people wear their heart on their sleeve; New York wears her stank on her face. It's refreshing, really. The upside of this MP-zzzz presentation is that it gives New York a chance to fantasize about Buddha.
"He's so strong and strapping and fit. And my mind just goes to the dirtiest place ever. And basically, I'm just having sex with Buddha on this table." When she said "dirtiest place ever," I thought she was talking about the drain in her shower. You know, all that acrylic hair is just a breeding ground for germs. Also: really? Is Buddha really that hot?
He's clearly a good-looking guy, but he doesn't have the innate sexiness of the Entertainer or the nimble tongue of It. It's just weird that she spends so much time salivating over him. Isn't it?
Next up is Man Man, the Entertainer and Midget Mac.
Their caped cologne is equally unimpressive.
But their slogan, as delivered by Midget Mac, is not: "Smells so good, make you wanna smack yo mama!" As he's saying this, he demonstrates.
Sister Patterson is not at all amused.
Hopefully that will not discourage him.
Next is Punk, Pretty and Mr. Wise, who propose a clothing line via New York.
New York loves this idea. Apparently, putting her name on a line of muumuus is something she's been meaning to do. She's into it at least until the guys unveil the acronym that their line will be named after: NULUV, which stands for, "Knowing You Look Unbelievably Voluptuous." The issue that New York takes with this has nothing to do that the first letter of "knowing" is a "K," not an "N." Really, it should be KULUV. That sounds like a cuddly, pouched creature, which, come to think of it, is appropriate. Anyway, New York gets angry about being called "voluptuous." Unfamiliarity with dictionaries must run in the family, because Sister P explains…
"'Voluptuous' is the new word for 'fat.'" Wrong! That doesn't even make sense. Why does fat need a new word? Is it feeling insecure? Does it ironically think it's not big enough? Also, obviously the definition of "fat" and "voluptuous" differ, although I think I might be asking to much of these people by expecting them to care about nuance.
"How in the hell do they figure I'm voluptuous? I know how to squeeze my ass into a size 2!" Ah, New York, you're missing the point. It's not the squeezing in in of your ass that makes you voluptuous; it's the squeezing out.
Finally, Cheezy, It and Tailor Made present.
Their blaxploitation idea is for a film called B.A.B., which is short for "Bad Ass Bitch." It has a song and everything. The best thing about the movie is that New York's character would be called "N.Y. Tiffahontas." New York approves of this because she thinks "hontas" is the new word for "hot ass." Anyway, this is the group she chooses to win, because obviously, she cannot resist the idea of being a movie star. She's just like her cleavage: onward and upward.
Because Tailor Made handled the bulk of the presentation, she figures he was the mastermind and rewards him with the solo date. Turmoil! This was all Cheezy's idea so he pleads his case to her in her room:
New York agrees that Cheezy should get the date. Cheezy runs back to rub this in Tailor Made's face. Tailor Made seems cool with losing the date but then he weasels up the stairs and says that, in fact, Cheezy was wrong and he should be the one New York chooses for the date. She agrees.
So now she's promised both of them a solo date. What to do? She reasons that she'll go with "the one I want to f***." Ew. Choosing between Cheezy and Tailor Made in this situation is like choosing between a hot dog and doorknob. Sometimes it's better to go to bed unfulfilled. Anyway, she picks Tailor Made.
They dine in a jewelry store. Or, it's possible that it's just a Ruby Tuesday and New York is confused. Anyway, she presents him with this…god, what the hell is this thing?
A talisman? Is there a vampire that needs to be warded off? Besides Sister Patterson, I mean. A vampire we don't know about? No? Also, on this date, Tailor Made reveals that he wants to spend the rest of his life with New York. God, can you imagine them at 70? The very idea just made me a little bit deafer and sterile.
Once home, Tailor Made is confronted by Cheezy, who's smarting over New York's rejection.
And like, Tailor Made is douchey, but this really isn't his fault. Blame New York, Cheezmeister! Or actually, don't. She's just not into you. Suck it up, but do it in private.
The next day, It and Cheezy receive their New York mail detailing their upcoming date. It reads it out loud with his mouth full:
His level of charm makes him absolutely perfect for New York. I'm really pulling for It!
New York dons a cowl around her torso and they're off.
Off, to Pink Kitty Studios.
That's right, Pink Kitty. They're either going to be posing with Sphynx or the date is going to include a lunch of fish tacos.
It's neither, just a sexy photo shoot.
It's all over New York as they take their pictures.
Apparently, his tongue smells better today? Anyway, I love that It's main mode of expression is licking. He really cuts all that getting-to-know-you-by-talking crap out of the way and gets right to the point. Hot, for real!
And then, there is Cheezy.
If New York's facial expressions are an indication, she's looking forward to a time when there isn't Cheezy. Soon enough!
New York arrives home to this:
What good fortune! The Entertainer figures that he can help her wind down with a massage. What he doesn't reveal is that this is code for an impending foot-gnawing that's about to go down.
It's almost amazing that they're allowed to show this on TV. The Entertainer says he isn't a foot fetishist, although that's seriously hard to believe.
The eyes don't lie! He's ecstatic!
Anyway, it's hard to gauge how into this New York is. She's definitely amused, though.
After all, how could she not be? "Any doubts I had about the Entertainer melted away the moment he put my entire foot into his mouth." Fair enough. It's a wonderful skill for a man to possess.
Anyway, Tailor Made busts in as the Entertainer is leaving and voices concern about the fact that the Entertainer was just in her room. Shut up already, Tailor Made. Don't you have some money to count or hair plugs to arrange or something?
Except him shutting up is a pipe dream because he's the first to get a chain.
When Midget Mac gets his chain, he approache Sister Patterson, who, for the first time we've seen, actually touches him.
She is just the picture of tolerance, isn't she?
The Entertainer is the last to get his chain, which has him nervous. When he approaches New York, he isn't even prompted, he practically gushes, "I have love for New York!"
Hmmm. So maybe he is a little crazy. He's got a glint in his eye that suggests a collection of human hair or a scab-picking compulsion. Weird, but not unsexy. Anyway, Sister P obviously takes major issue with him staying around. She calls him "bottom-of-the-barrel nasty."
Also, she says, "You're filthy, and you're a psychotic and you are a psycho!" A psychotic and a psycho? That's like calling someone fat and voluptuous.
Anyway, Man Man and Cheezy go home.
In his exit interview, Cheezy tells us that New York is "missing out on the Big Cheese." Eh. We'll take your word for it.

Honda announces new EXCITING H DESIGN!! language
Debuted on the Fit
Honda's recent designs have been pretty lackluster so the company has introduced their new "EXCITING H DESIGN!!" language.
Set to be used on all future models, the design language promises to "promote a more unique character and stronger presence around the world." While the name sounds slightly comical, Honda says the three exclamation marks represent the three pillars of the styling language: High Tech, High Tension and High Touch.
As part of the transformation, future models will have dramatic surfaces, an "Athlete Form" body and a "Solid Wing Face" grille. We can also expect a sportier cockpit with higher quality materials and high-tech components.
The EXCITING H DESIGN!! recently debuted on the 2014 Fit which will go on sale in Japan on September 6th.
Honda Announces New Design Concept "EXCITING H DESIGN!!!" - First Applied to All-new Fit Model -
TOKYO, Japan, September 5, 2013 - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced a new design concept, "EXCITING H DESIGN!!!," that will be applied to all Honda automobiles globally to promote a more unique character and stronger presence around the world.
The three exclamation marks in "EXCITING H DESIGN!!!" represent three design factors, namely "High Tech." which represents an innovative spirit, "High Tension" which represents the pursuit of a beautiful body structure and layout, and "High Touch" which represents finely-honed surfacing and texture. By incorporating these three factors into exterior and interior design, more unique and exciting Honda designs will be realized. This new design concept has been first applied to the all-new Fit model, with the application to be expanded in stages to other Honda vehicles around the world.
?Exterior design:
? High Tech.
Honda's new design identity, "Solid Wing Face," is adopted. While positioning the "H" mark in the center, the area from the front grill to the headlights will be designed in an advanced style as one uninterrupted flow.
? High Tension
A well-toned body with beautiful proportion, "Athlete Form," is realized.
? High Touch
Honda strives to realize "Dramatic Surfacing," well-elaborated form that provides an emotional attraction.
?Interior design:
? High Tech.
Honda pursues an easy-to-see/easy-to-use "Advanced Interface" by adopting advanced technologies.
? High Tension
A sporty and emotional "Personal Cockpit" is realized.
? High Touch
Honda expresses its "Craftsmanship" by creating thoughtful interiors with an emphasis on the texture of materials.

Novel of the week
The Lone Woman
Bernado Atxaga, translated by Margaret Jull Costa The Harvill Press, 120pp, £8.
The Lone Woman
Bernado Atxaga, translated by Margaret Jull Costa The Harvill Press, 120pp, £8.
by James Hopkin Published
A good novella is an ideal companion for a three- or four-hour trip. It's slim enough to tuck in your hand luggage, brief enough not to add to your travel tiredness, yet provocative enough to reward you with a satisfying read. Think of Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby or John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, both of which deliver much more than their brevity would suggest. It's also a form well suited to tense and eccentric narratives, because the limited space concentrates the prose and intensifies the atmosphere. Yet it was another well-known novella, Albert Camus' The Outsider, that kept coming to mind as I read The Lone Woman by the celebrated Basque writer, Bernardo Atxaga.
Whereas Camus' existentialist classic follows his hero, Meursault, from freedom to incarceration and imminent death, Atxaga's novella reverses the plot while retaining the vision of an individual fervently committed to the truth, however circumspect. Atxaga's defiant heroine, Irene, has just left prison having served a sentence for terrorist activity as part of a "radical political organisation". After spending a torrid night in Barcelona, she embarks on a long bus journey home to Bilbao, during which she is haunted by memories and dreams and by fragments of books that she'd read during her time inside. Not to mention the two policemen who are on board. Having divorced her husband, lost her lover and been scorned by both her family and her political group, Irene confesses that "I'm a traitor now", and declares herself "ready to accept the smallest sign of love".
In taut, elegant sentences which generate a sense of restlessness and foreboding, Atxaga reveals the uncertain mind of a fugitive fleeing the past and, by identifying only the salient details in each scene, he creates a disturbing, transitory world in which all proportion and compassion have been lost. The characters outside the prison walls, for example, are not given names. Instead, they are referred to as "the man with the red tie", "the nun with the green eyes", "the passenger who looked like a boxer".
Such a strategy delicately reinforces Irene's isolation; she has, after all, just been released from the gloomy uniformity of prison into a world of difference and light. The sky, symbolising freedom and a focal point for her yearning, is similarly important.
In the final paragraph of The Outsider, Meursault famously looks up at the night sky from his cell and accepts "the benign indifference of the universe". Although Irene has similar thoughts, her frequent star-gazing is more hopeful. With this and other light touches, Atxaga convinces us that this woman has done her time.
The furtive prose stalks the reader with the promise of disclosure, but in novellas it's what is left unsaid that resonates. "Was it possible to live without love?" wonders Irene. This is the tantalising nature of Atxaga's fine novella: its precision and concealed wisdom leave us wanting to hear more from his exceptional heroine. But then, you can always read it again on the way back, can't you?

Read Poems by
Paul Stacey
You looked at me, with hope, I could see
The excitement in your wide eyes blazed.
Your anticipation was growing inside
And on your glowing radiance I gazed.
The guitars built, the drum tempo pounding.
In unison our song was sung out loud.
The crescendo arrived and we were completely
Serenaded by the choir of the crowd.
Occasions like that stay with us forever.
Never, forget the moment our Doves soared
So high in our perfect crystallised moment
Of love as we danced and sang out our hearts.

Sherman takes over as ECH football coach
Jon Sherman, East Chapel Hill's associate head coach and offensive coordinator, has been named the Wildcats' new head football coach, athletic director Ray Hartsfield said on Friday.
"I'm grateful for this opportunity to continue with what Coach (Bill) Renner started here," Sherman said of his former boss. "He has done an amazing job here developing the program. The enthusiasm the kids show is amazing."
East Chapel Hill, which became town's second public high school when it opened in August 1996, had one of its best seasons in 2012 when Renner led the team to a 5-6 record (3-3 PAC-6) and lost in the first round of the state 4-A playoffs. The Wildcats finished 3-8, 3-3 PAC-6 in 2011, Renner's second year with the program, and 1-10 in 2010.
His three wins in 2011 were the most at the school in at least eight seasons — the 2004 team won two games.
Since the start of the 2004 season, ECH has gone 15-74 in football, with more than half of the wins coming under Renner the past two years.
Sherman, like Renner, is a proponent of the spread offense and said he likely will continue many of the same philosophies he and Renner put in place last year.
Sherman's coaching résumé includes a stint as an assistant coach working with wide receivers at his alma mater, Methodist University.
A former wide receiver and tight end, Sherman was part of Methodist's 2005 USA South Athletic Conference championship team as a senior.
He was a four-time Academic All-USA South Atlantic pick and also coached wide receivers at state 4-A power Fayetteville Jack Britt in 2007 and 2008.
Britt won conference titles each of his two seasons on the staff and lost the 4-AA state title game to Richmond County 38-35 in 2008.
Sherman is a native of Naples, Fla., who teaches social studies at ECH and earned a bachelor's degree in political science.
He began his coaching career as an assistant at Clinton High School.
In the fall, Sherman will have some experienced talent returning.
While he loses starting quarterback Ben Jones and Nos. 1 and 2 receivers Luke Arlotto and Will Buckley, the Wildcats return leading rusher Colby Owens, a 6-1, 240-pound bruiser (95 carries, 493 yards). Also back is No. 2 rusher Jeremy Hubbard (43-122), and both will be seniors.
The quarterback slot is likely to be manned by Adam Bussian or Connor Stough. Bussian is a 6-1, 165 rising junior and Stough a 5-10, 155 rising sophomore. Bussian completed 7 of 18 passes for 26 yards but threw three interceptions in his only appearance of the year, a start against Northern.
Stough, who also played receiver, hit on 22 of 34 passes for 216 yards, two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions.
Rising junior Arkavius Parks is the top returning receiver and also plays basketball. He caught 20 passes for 132 yards and a pair of scores, while Owens caught 18 passes for 81 yards out of the backfield.
Stough had 11 catches for 112 yards.
Defensively, leading tackler Cameron Sieradzan, a linebacker, will be gone, but Nos. 2-3-4 tacklers Izzy Settles, Chris Alston and Armond Berry all return for their senior season.
Settles had 58 tackles, including 4.5 for loss and 3.5 sacks as a defensive back. Alston (6-0, 300) had 51, 2.5 for loss and a team-best six sacks at tackle. And outside linebacker Berry had 48 tackles, 1.3 for loss and a sack.
Sherman said there are playmakers from the junior varsity team that will move up.
"We lost some offensive linemen, but we've got some really good young guys and we'll see how they do after working in the weight room this offseason," Sherman said.

What to Watch Weekend, Nov. 1-2
(Sun., 10PM, Lifetime) 2nd season finale
Thankfully, no one's getting blown up in this season ender, but there are major changes ahead for the residents of Fort Marshall.
First up, Betty's nephew (guest star Ivan Sergei) visits and has news for Roxy that's going to add stress to what's already been a trying season for Roxy and Trevor.
Meanwhile, Pamela begins to question her life choices -- namely marrying into the military; Roland has to help out with a former patient; and Claudia Joy and Michael also have to get used to a few adjustments at Casa Holden, but that doesn't mean they're going to be happy about all of them.
A history of reality television (part six): Makeovers from body to home
The makeover/lifestyle program has a unique niche in the Reality Revolution. Where other reality programs abide by the phrase "Only the Strong Survive," makeover shows are normally an individual or group effort. It comes from the shows themselves, of course, as they are intent in making life just a little bit better for the participants.
It may be redesigning a room in a neighbor's home, making over one's wardrobe, losing weight, controlling one's family or even turning someone from an ugly duckling into a swan. Granted, the hosts of these shows may show a bit of arrogance toward those trying to make a better life for themselves or others, but that just makes those wanting the makeover or lifestyle change even more interesting to the viewer. Plus, it doesn't hurt the star status of the hosts themselves.
The other interesting thing about this genre of reality program is, save for a handful of shows on the five major networks, the bulk of these programs are broadcast over the cable airwaves. Perhaps that's done to counteract some of the more sleazy reality programming that the cable networks produce. Or, maybe it's the fact that many of the channels that cater to the self-improvement set are on cable themselves. Either way, it is a genre that is quite popular and continues to grow year after year.
Cameron Mathison dances into game show role
"I'm thrilled to be a part of TLC's first game show, and extremely excited about the fun concept," said Mathison. "I think both men and women, of all ages, are really going to enjoy the show because there's a little something in it for everyone." Yeah, TLC is pitching this as a family show. Hmm...we'll see. If it can capture the Trading Spaces vibe, they may be on the right track.
Reality Show casting calls
A day hasn't gone by where we haven't received some sort of tip or email asking us, the TV Squad, how to get on [insert reality show here]. Unfortunately no, Simon Cowell does not work for us, and Donald Trump isn't my BFF, so we really can't help all that much.
The folks at RealityWanted.com often send us a list of new and existing reality shows that are looking for new, er, talent, and they've given us permission to make mention of them here. We'll try to make this a regular feature as often as we get a new list.
This time we have Trading Spaces, The Newlywed Game and other new shows.

This time we have Big Brother, Trading Spaces, Over Your Head and other new shows.
Paige Davis returning to Trading Spaces
Man, I must have really missed this news, or it was something that was way under the radar when it was first reported. Either way, it turns out that Paige Davis, the eternally cheerful former host of TLC's Trading Spaces is returning to the show that made her a household name.
Her comeback begins this Saturday with the show's eighth season premiere. She was fired from the show three years ago without any explanation (although, I'm sure some of you 'insiders' know the real reason why she was let go). The show went on without a host after that and slowly disappeared into the universe of home improvement programs, which were actually spawned from the success of Trading Spaces in the first place. And, if that's not irony...
The show will be going back to its roots -- two houses, two days, $1000. Some of the original cast, like Hildi Santo-Tomas, will also be returning (I don't know if she really ever left). There will be a new production company, though, and the home owners will be slightly different. Instead of having two sets of friendly neighbors look for divorced couples, disgruntled employees and their ex-bosses, and rival cheerleaders to decorate each others homes.
Ty Pennington enters a plea on DUI charge
Earlier this month Bob reported on the arrest of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition host Ty Pennington in a drunk driving case. Back then, the Trading Spaces alum was charged with two misdemeanor counts: driving with a blood-alcohol level above the 0.08 percent limit and driving under the influence of alcohol. Last week he entered a plea of 'no contest' to the charges.
Actually, according to Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the city attorney's office, Pennington entered the plea for the first charge only since the other count was dismissed (which is normal for a first offense, according to Mateljan). The judge in the case placed Pennington on three years probation, restricted his driving privileges for 90 days and ordered him to participate in a 90-day alcohol program and attend a Mothers Against Drunk Drivers meeting. He also had the phrase 'I'm a television star and I'm stupid' etched into his forehead. All right, I made that last one up, but it would be apropos in this case.
In a statement released by his publicist, Pennington said that he was glad to bring closure to his recent court proceedings. He also added that drinking and driving are never acceptable. Um, don't you think you should have thought about that in the first place, Ty?
NCIS: Driven
I'll go ahead and start out with my one complaint with the episode. The robotic Hummer was a little too good. There is a lot of exciting research going on with unmanned vehicles, but I thought this one was a little over the top. We didn't really need to see that amazing demo to kick things off to get it. One small nitpick in an otherwise terrific episode though.
What's on tonight: The Evidence, Trading Spaces, Cops, Naruto, Showgirls

Onyancha. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Peter Onyancha
I'm not sure I understand my boss
He does it all and credits me
He makes the plan, and says I did
He works the plan, and states it's me
Writes the report, and crowns it mine
My mysterious Boss!
He called me today
And washed me with praise
Shocked, my boss seeks to know
How did you, modest, manage
The tusks of this beast alone?
With husky confidence
He shoots my pay and says
Measure for measure, my valet!
There's more to come.
My Boss will burn it all
The mid night wick and moil on end
First in, Last out. The office smells his balm
His cologne is everywhere
He sweats on the printer, the copier, and the phone
His ink flows, his paper is busy
The keyboard is worn, the letters have gone
He knows them by heart
ASDFGH and the index at J, he types
His seat sags and his elbow is coarse
The backrest is new, he never rested
His fingerprints are faded
Filing, citing, binding, signing, sending, recalling, working
Reading, doing, redoing, searching, researching, working
Calling, waiting, reminding, mending, thinking, working
Reviewing, checking, approving, panting, working
But he says I did, all he did
Great works, look and marvel!
Now Boss
They want me! Ready to bleed money
And charm me, they are down, bended knee
Abroad, the internationals are hinting
Aboard, the nationals are bidding
And Bored, the locals are winking
They want me! The postman is dizzy
My inbox congested and messengers grumbling
The deeds have spoken
And my boss is depressed
Who shall do it, says he, all the work
His hand is calm, my shoulder feels it
Go my child, my boss, your meteor is bright
And never will it set.

The 26-year-old hunk paired Fluxus's cotton tee with Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci's cotton gabardine pants.
During the mag's interview, Garrett talked a bit about his first audition: "I think the phrase was 'You sucked pond water.'"

The Case for a Creator, Closing Thoughts
The theory of evolution not only explains and unifies a vast range of scientific observations, it's given rise to an enormous, fruitful research program by predicting where we should look in order to find all kinds of phenomena of interest. One of the most famous examples is how Charles Darwin predicted that the earliest human ancestors would be found in Africa, which turned out to be 100% correct. Based on observing flowers from Madagascar, Darwin also predicted the existence of a moth species with a startlingly long proboscis, and a moth matching his specifications was discovered. Evolutionary theory led paleontologists to inspect rocks of a certain age in a certain location to find tetrapod ancestors, and lo and behold, we dug up Tiktaalik roseae. Evolutionary theory enabled us to predict the likely characteristics of an ant ancestor, and we found a species preserved in amber that matched our expectations almost perfectly. Evolutionary theory illuminated the similarities between birds and dinosaurs, and feathered theropods continue to turn up at a dizzying rate.
Even today, evolution continues to guide researchers who are expanding our knowledge of the human genome. Because of evolution, we looked in yeast to find genes that build bodies, and we looked in sea cucumbers to find blood-clotting genes. Because of evolution, we found viruses with similarities to crucial genes in our immune system, and bacteria with family ties to the mitochondria that power the metabolism of each and every cell in our bodies, and apes and monkeys whose vitamin C synthesis gene is broken in exactly the same way as ours. Based on evolutionary reasoning, the first scientists to crack the genetic code worked under the assumption that it would be universal among life, and this too was correct.
These are bold, surprising predictions, which expand our knowledge of humanity even as they reveal our deep and intricate ties to the natural world. And without the overarching assumption of evolution, there was no reason to suspect any of them to be true. Yet they are true, and no other theory or hypothesis accounts for them so consistently and so well. By letting the principles of evolution and the scientific method guide us, we've enjoyed enormous success, and reaped the bounty of a rich harvest of knowledge about nature. We've also found no evidence whatsoever which confirms the existence of a supernatural creator. And when some people are losing, it's little surprise that they want to change the rules of the game.
In chapter 9, Stephen Meyer sums up his argument as follows:
"Well, I say it's time to redefine science. We should not be looking for only the best naturalistic explanation, but the best explanation, period. And intelligent design is the explanation that's most in conformity with how the world works." [p.243]
Please note the major concession: Strobel and his fellow-travelers aren't doing science. They're doing something else, and they want to "redefine" science so that the new definition can encompass whatever it is they are doing.
What's curious about this statement is that although Meyer calls for redefining science, he never says what he wants the new definition to be. If they want to redefine science, how should the new definition differ from the old one? What activities will count as science that didn't before? And once you conclude that "design happened", then what? What predictions does the design hypothesis make about the structure of the world? Is there research that we can do to figure out the mindset, the abilities, the intentions of the designer? Can we know anything about him other than, perhaps, an inordinate fondness for beetles? If so, how?
Neither Meyer nor any other advocate of ID has ever attempted to answer these questions. If they're so eager to establish a new, non-natural kind of science, why don't they explain how it would work? More to the point, why don't they just go ahead and do it? They don't need anyone's permission. If they could use their method to make verifiable predictions, they wouldn't have to sit around trying to convince the rest of us. There would be incontrovertible evidence of their success.
The proof is in the pudding, but Meyer, Strobel and the rest are offering us nothing but thin gruel. They want us to discard the well-tested and massively successful framework of evolutionary theory and adopt their method instead, and promise vague but marvelous results at some unspecified future time. They come to us empty-handed, having done none of the necessary work, and expect us to take their claims on faith - even though the Discovery Institute's sizable budget could easily support a well-equipped research division, and groups like the Templeton Foundation are openly seeking pro-ID research to fund. Clearly, the only reason they're not doing science is because there's no science in their ideas to be done. Like all creationists, they are intellectually bankrupt, and the "redefinition" they seek is to redefine scientific failure as scientific success.

Reminder: We are not their subjects
Catherine Engelbrecht 1, IRS 0
Comments | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us
Catherine Engelbrecht is a hero in this country, although the federal government probably doesn't think so and I doubt she'll be getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom draped around her by Barack Obama. But that's exactly why she's a hero – because she has no intention of letting the government treat her as a subject. And that should serve as an inspiration for the rest of us, because we shouldn't either.
Catherine was on my show this morning after I read the latest about her from our friends at Rare. If you don't know the background, Catherine is the founder of True the Vote, which she established after working as an election volunteer and noticing all kinds of irregularities going on. Her purpose in creating True the Vote was to ensure that elections were fair and not manipulated by fraud.
The left didn't like that and they retaliated hard against Catherine, making all kinds of accusations against her, which were quickly parroted by the Democrat Party propagandists at MSNBC as well as Democrat members of Congress including Elijah Cummings and Sheila Jackson Lee. And when True the Vote applied for tax-exempt nonprofit status, you can probably guess what happened. Naturally, the IRS came after not only her nonprofit but her business as well. Bringing audits and inquiries that found nothing, they nonetheless fined Catherine and her husband $20,000 – just because they're the IRS and they can!
But Catherine refused to take this lying down. She sued the IRS, demanding, among other things, that they give her a yes or no ruling on her nonprofit status. The finally gave her a yes – she certainly qualifies, after all – probably in the hope that it would shut her up. But there was more to the suit. Catherine also went after the IRS for outrageous demands it made of her, some of which she outlined on the show today:
"They wanted to know everywhere I had ever spoken, to whom I had spoken, who was in attendance when I spoke, and, Herman, everywhere I intended to speak through 2013."
That's similar to what happened to me over 20 years ago when I got audited by the IRS and they wanted to know all the places I had spoken as vice president of the National Restaurant Association.
They didn't stop there, either. They demanded to know if Catherine had future political ambitions, as if that is any of their business.
We featured Catherine Engelbrecht's entire 7:12 testimony on our show yesterday, and she deserves congratulations for being a fighter. In her testimony, she said she is not a victim because she's going to fight.
"When we think about victims, victims are victims because they have no option. They are helpless," she said. "We in this country are not helpless and I think we've forgotten just how loud our voices can be."
In addition to True the Vote, Catherine further promotes this cause at WeWillNotBeSilenced.org.
We need more heroes like Catherine, because we are not subjects! The Declaration of Independence says the government derives its authority to govern from the consent of the governed. They do not have our consent to treat anyone the way they treated Catherine, and the only way they will get away with is if good people stand by and do nothing. Instead of doing that, we need to follow Catherine Engelbrecht's lead.

Penn State's board of trustees and president focused on repairing the school's tarnished image and braced for financial backlash in the immediate aftermath of the child sex-abuse scandal that erupted two months ago, going so far as to recommend reminding any outraged donors that they wouldn't get their money back, according to internal memos obtained by The Associated Press.
The campus of Tidewater Community College was evacuated this morning because of a natural gas line break.
As Pennsylvania State University faces litigation alleging the school failed to prevent a former assistant football coach from sexually abusing children, reputational damage is top of mind for risk managers at educational institutions.
University of Wisconsin System employees can be penalized if they don't report child abuse or neglect, under an executive order Gov. Scott Walker signed Monday.
Governor urges school trustees to take stronger action amid state investigation
The FBI has arrested a Loyola University student suspected of threatening to blow up a building on the Uptown campus, apparently to avoid taking a test. Evelyn Hubbard, a junior biology major, sent two profanity-riddled emails to the Loyola Police Department on the morning of Nov. 17, saying she would blow up Monroe Hall and kill five professors whom she did not identify, according to an FBI affidavit.
Officials at Arkansas colleges and universities would be required to report child abuse or suspected child abuse under a proposal by the state Department of Human Services.
High-profile child sex abuse scandals at two universities have prompted the University of Wisconsin System to review its policies on employee and volunteer contact with minors and the reporting of crimes against children on campus.
The University of Central Arkansas and the City of Conway emergency personnel took part in an exercise to review the university's emergency operations plans.

A Sydney-based trio of "avid butter enthusiasts" has come up with this knife, which renders cold, hard butter into dainty and pliable curls, and the group's Kickstarter seems to indicate that this is something people need in their lives. (Maybe blame Time magazine.)
While the Stupendous Splendiferous ButterUp guys continue to exponentially surpass their funding goals, just remember there's an age-old cooks' trick for softening butter: Cut a slab, put it on a cutting board, and whack it with the flat part of a knife blade. Pros: This technique softens butter into submission right away. Cons: It doesn't produce the pretty, pretty squiggles of fluffy butter like the ones depicted in the video here. It's your call really, and probably really subjective based on how much you like toast.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's tennis team dropped a 4-3 marathon at Samford in today's regular season finale in Birmingham, Ala. The Mocs battled in a match that took over five hours, but came up just short against the Bulldogs.
Chattanooga finishes third in the Southern Conference race with a 7-2 record. UTC is 17-4 overall. It is the most league wins since posting a 7-2 mark in 2000 and the best SoCon finish since a third place showing in 2003.
Samford finishes second in the SoCon at 8-1 and 18-2 overall. Furman (16-5, 9-0 SoCon) is the regular season champion.
"They were just a little bit better than us today," stated head coach Jeff Clark. "Four of the matches went to three sets, so it was very close. We hope to get another shot at them at next week's tournament if we can get through the first round."
The Mocs dropped the first two doubles matches to fall into a 0-1 hole in the team score. Sophomores Kayla Jones and Katie Polk battled at No. 2 to avoid the sweep. They were down 5-2 against Yasmeen Ebada and Carita Moolman before battling back for an 8-7 win.
Samford went up 2-0 with Stephanie N'tcha's (6-4, 6-1) win over Jones at No. 1. The Mocs closed the gap to 2-1 with sophomore Kelsey Coots' (7-5, 6-4) win over Jessica Northcutt at No. 4. It was Coots fifth win in a row as she finishes with a 7-2 mark in SoCon singles.
Samford went on to take the next two matches and secure the team win. Junior Kaylene Chadwell was battling at No. 2. She dropped her first set 7-5 to Kristin Lewis, but battled back for a 6-1 win in the second. She trailed 3-0 in the final set before winning that frame 6-4. Chadwell finishes with a 20-10 singles mark, 16-3 at No. 2 and 8-1 in SoCon action.
Polk also battled back for a three set win today. She fought off leg cramps and a 6-4 loss in the first set to defeat Lauren Caballero (4-6, 7-6, 7-5).
The Mocs now turn their attention to hosting the 2014 Southern Conference Tournament next week. Action takes place April 16-19 at the Champions Club in Chattanooga. UTC was 10-0 at home this season and is poised to make a serious run at their first title since 1997. The only other league loss was a 4-3 loss at regular season champion Furman.
Chattanooga has a first round bye and will play No. 6 seed Georgia Southern on Thursday, April 17, at 3:00 p.m. (E.D.T.). A link for live scoring will be available on the women's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.

A 62-year-old woman was arrested after allegedly hitting and injuring two bicyclists in Minneapolis while driving with a revoked license Saturday night.
The incident happened near the intersection of Broadway and Marshall streets around 10:30 p.m.
Police say Stephanie Smith-El of Minneapolis first ran into two vehicles that were occupied before hitting two bicyclists and then fled from the scene.
The bicyclists, 29-year-old Jason P. Bradley and 28-year-old Kathryn Collena Bradley, both of Minneapolis, were taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, according to police.
Jason Bradley was reportedly in serious condition Sunday afternoon. No information was available for Katheryn Bradley's condition.
Officers say Smith-El was found still behind the wheel of her vehicle with the engine running and showed obvious signs of impairment.
She was taken to North Memorial Medical Center and treated for minor injuries before being booked in Hennepin County Jail.
Smith-El is facing felony charges.

I remember the 80's. I do. Each Saturday Night at 10p on 95-9 The River. I also really remember the 80's. What happened when, what songs were released in what year. All of it. OK, most of it. The rest I can look up. A little history on the radio show. Back in 1997 when I was working late nights on WCKG 105.9 in Chicago, I decided to ask my boss if I could play some forgotten tunes of my youth during my radio show. I figured others wanted to hear them too. To my surprise, he said ok! That's where it all began. Well, it all really began in the 80's when I was in high school (Harold L. Richards High School, Oak Lawn, class of 1984). Listening to my favorite radio stations at the time...95 1/2 WMET and the old FM98 (when our own Mitch Michael's was there 'doin the cruise'!). Listening to those stations during my informative years helped shape my future. Fast forward to where my late night 80's show aired on WCKG until 2000. I then brought it over to 103.1 WXXY, The Eighties Channel for awhile. That was a no-brainer. In the fall of 2000, I took a job doing nights at 97-9 The Loop. I re-launched my 80's show on WLUP in the fall of 2002, but management didn't exactly let me play many of the songs/artists that made the show so special in the first place. That's when I decided to create a national show. I called it The Rockin' 80's. This Memorial Day weekend will mark the 9 year anniversary of the show. Not bad for a kid from the southwest suburbs who just wanted to rock a little!
Catch The Rockin' 80's Saturday Nights at 10p on 95-9 the River to hear all the rock you remember, and a few artists and tunes you forgot you even knew!

Dead bike inner tubes are in abundance, ask your nearest bike shop or community bike workshop to give you some.
Not only can you knit (or crochet, sewing or whatever-else) for free, but you are reusing a waste material.
It is inspired by my favourite Instructable by Marcellahella- Knit With Inner Tube Thread
I have a few adjustments though, I feel my method makes the yarn a bit stronger.
You will need:
1 dead bike inner tube.
Scissors. (Not your best ones, this will blunt them rapidly.)
Piece of scrap cardboard.
Wooden knitting needles. (Preferably wooden but not essential.)
Step 1: Cut the Air Valve Out of the Tube.
Cut the air valve out of the tube by snipping straight across the tube either side.
You don't need the air valve now.
You are now left with a long tube of rubber.
Step 2: Cut Along the Seam of the Tube.
You now have a really long flat piece of rubber.
Step 3: Cut the Rubber into Yarn.
Cut a thin strip up the long length of the rubber.
When you get to the top, turn a right angle with your scissors, continuing to follow the outline of the rubber strip.
Keep going with your scissors, following a spiral pattern, moving inwards, until you have one huge length of rubber yarn.
When you cut round the corners, keep the cut as rounded as you can.
The corners will have little excess flappy bits. You can tidy them up later if you want, depending on how bothered you are about neatness in your end knitting.
The thinner you cut the strips, the longer your yarn will be.
Different thicknesses make for interesting knitting!
Step 4: Make a Yarn Spool.
Decided to start knitting again after many years since I am laid up with a broken leg for awhile and seen this project. I know what I will be trying for my next project now! Thanks!
I dig this. I wonder if you could do something really interesting with it, like a seatcover or a top tube protector or something....I like where this is going.
Thanks- I am trying to knit hammocks for an outdoor event in a few months. Work in progress!
I like the idea of this
do you have a picture of a finished project? that would be awesome!
apart from that, nice instructable!
No finished project as yet, I'm making lots of yarn for a yarn-bombing project, who are knitting an entire fish and chip shop. I am making tiles for the roof out of these. I'm far from an amazing knitter so I'll have to get practicing with this... I fancy a knitted rubber dress though.
Very cool! I would love to see a finished project too :)

SAN ANTONIO One of two children struck by lightning in San Antonio has died.
KENS-TV reports that the boy was taken off life support around noon Saturday. The 8-year-old was struck in the chest Thursday night.
The other boy, a 10-year-old, remains hospitalized.
The boys were playing in a backyard Thursday night when the lightning struck. A neighbor said the loud sound of the strike made her jump out of her chair.
A relative tells the television station that the 10-year-old boy is able to speak and is expected to recover.

I am a mother, wife, athlete, event planner, photographer, writer and book fanatic. I was taught photojournalism in Graduate School and have been taking photographs for 5 years and involved in events for more than a decade.
If you are looking for an affordable photographer who isn't going to treat you like they are doing you a favor by allowing you in front of his or her camera, who is fun, creative, energetic and loves taking pictures, then I'm for you!
I shoot true photojournalistic style, shying away from the traditional and looking for news angles to shoot everyday pictures to give them new life. I would love to shoot your wedding, special event, or just an average event.
Are you having a bachelorette party and want to have some pictures taken, new babies, older babies, or parties? I'm your girl!
I can't wait to shoot for you and I'm waiting to hear from you.

Kathryn was an extremely easy and friendly person to work with. We took some pictures in downtown Chicago and the weather could not have been uglier! But we stuck it out and Kathryn was able to turn a negative into a positive. Some of our favorite shots were taken after the rain started when she found new places to shoot and incorporated the umbrella and other creative elements to get some awesome shots!
A. I generally work with people who are looking for something out of the ordinary. Someone who isn't afraid to be different and have fun. I work with all types of people in all different situations. I like to try to make great photography available to everyone, not just those who have tons of money to spend on their special day. Just because you don't have tons of money doesn't make that day any less special to you or your loved ones, you should have memories to match!
A. Being able to be a part of a day/time/event that means so much to someone else. I feel honored that I am able to help them remember it. I love the energy that revolves around times like this, the 'high' you get, the love you feel, the excitement and emotion are literally addicting to me. Seeing peoples reactions when they see their pictures is one of the most satisfying things that I could ever think about doing. Being able to push myself to learn new things and not being held back by anything is an exciting feeling that I love!
A. Anyone can buy a camera, but not everyone is a photographer. It takes an eye first of all, but thats not all of it. You have to be, just as with any artist, strong enough to put your work out there for people to pick apart ad judge with every little detail and bit. You have to be able to take that, and that takes a lot of guts and courage. I don't know if people always realize how much photographers judge themselves to prepare for the world to look at their work and tell them what they think. Talk about building character! Be a photographer!
A. Of Course! It is so important to look at what other people are doing as well as stay on top of what is happening in the field technically. Being in a tech-heavy field, in which things change to quickly you have to know what it going on. I follow numerous bridal blogs as well as photography blogs, to see what those that are the best in this field are doing. It helps me keep my finger on the pulse of trends and to always be collecting new ideas to use in my own work.
A. My pricing is simple. Which makes it complicated for this business. Usually photographers have these crazy price packages, which either include a bunch of stuff you don't want, or are way to expensive. or you will run into having to choose a la carte in you don't like their packages and that will end up blowing your budget, too. I'm simple. What is your budget? Ok... now what are you looking to get for that? Ok... now let's make that work. Pricing, packaging, budgeting, done.

Confession: When we're not watching Bones, we're probably watching RuPaul's Drag Race. That's why we are so excited to learn that Tamara Taylor (Cam) will be guest judging this summer as a "visiting celebrity professor" on Drag Race's sister show Drag U !
No word yet on when Tamara's episode will air, but the third season of Drag U starts on June 18 on the Logo network — and we will definitely be tuning in. If you've never taken in either iteration of this reality drag show extravaganza, you are in for a seriously over-the-top treat!

Calif. folksinger to perform here
Noted contemporary singer-songwriter Jonah Smith, who has toured internationally, will perform in Bolton Landing's Pub on 9 at 8 p.m. Thursday July 18.
Originally from upstate New York, Smith recently moved to California, and he's now touring the East Coast.
Smith has the range of talent to write the simplest folk song or draft an orchestral arrangement. His influences include American blues as well as soul, country, and folk idioms.
He has won an Independent Music Award for his song "My Morning Scene." Smith has shared the stage with such noted artists as Madeleine Peyroux, Los Lobos and Little Feat. The New York Times has said, "Smith's folk songs are equally well suited to downtown lounges and rural front porches, and his languid, easy vocals are pleasantly textured."
This appearance celebrates the release of Jonah's new album, In the Kitchen, created with Andy Stack, who will also be performing. The cover charge for this concert is $15.
Pub on 9 offers a full menu, and all ages are welcome. Pub on 9 is located at 4571 Lakeshore Drive in Bolton Landing. Their phone number is 644-7023.

Wii U Price to Drop $50 in September
The Wii U will be dropping by $50 come September.
Despite Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's comments against a Wii U price drop, Nintendo's announced that it's finally happening. And it's a long time in the coming too, considering the Wii U's slow sales since the console launched.
The price cut will be $50, bringing the cost of the Wii U down to $299.99. This cut will be made effective starting September 20th. It doesn't appear that this price cut will be reaching the Wii U basic, which has pretty much been phased out at this point. However, Nintendo will be offering two different versions of the deluxe edition of the Wii U. One will be the original deluxe edition that comes packaged with Nintendo Land. The other edition will be a Zelda version that comes with Windwaker HD and a digital copy of the Hyrule Historia Zelda book.
Follow us @tomsguide, on Facebook and on Google+.
4kinggraves , August 28, 2013 7:52 PMIt had to happen, it's just that Iwata is not going to come out and say "We will drop the price in Sept, but please buy one in June." Makes me wonder if they're getting the gamepads at a price cheap enough to sell them separately yet. And no, Nintendo will not beat the new consoles this year, their holiday lineup isn't strong enough. Wii U will start moving next year after big titles like the new Zelda and Smash Bros come out.
0shikamaru31789 , August 28, 2013 8:09 PMI'll wait for it to drop to $200. Only a handful of Wii U exclusives that I'm interested in.
-5joaompp , August 28, 2013 8:55 PMI can totally see a Linux box running an emulator using an android phone and a moga controller, with today's high end hardware it shouldn't be too taxing on a system to run a WiiU game
2nevilence , August 28, 2013 8:59 PMwii u really doesnt seem to be doing well >< I would hate to see the wii u kill nintendo
-6unksol , August 28, 2013 9:14 PMDamn. I read it as "wii u price drops to $50" for $50 why not. "$300 are you insane? "
0Bloob , August 28, 2013 10:36 PMIf these prices come to europe soon, I'll probably get one.
2bustapr , August 28, 2013 10:43 PM@joaommp not a chance any time soon. xbox 360 and ps3 emulators still run like utter poo on todays best rigs. hardware-wise, the wiiu is similar to these consoles, so an emulator for it(if there is one any time soon) would also run like poo. not to mention the emulator would have to also be compatible with most android phones. its going to be quite a few years until we see something decent on a high end rig.
0IndignantSkeptic , August 29, 2013 8:02 AMWhy are they announcing a future price cut so early? Watch the sales figures of Wii U dive to nothing until then.
0tgsa , August 29, 2013 11:48 AMI think the Wii U is still struggling to compete with the XB 360 and the PS 3. It'll continue to struggle to compete once you add the XBone and PS 4 to the mix.
2bigpoppastuke , August 29, 2013 11:55 AMWhy would you announce a price drop a month in advance? Sales of the system will effectively drop until September 20th. Price drops should be announced the day before or day of. This is just poor business sense!
0belardo , August 29, 2013 3:18 PMNintendo... like many companies... sometimes don't know what they are doing and wonder why they are losing millions. "We're going to reduce the cost of an over-price system next month" - is very very stupid. Do they THINK they are competing with the PS4? The WiiU is a 7th gen console. Its on par with the 360/PS4 - nothing more and at $300 (32GB), its still $100 more than the bottom end PS3 with 16GB Flash memory. Some other differences:
- Plays Blu-Ray and DVD movie discs! Plays CD-Audio discs too.
- up-gradable to 500GB HD (Or simply buy the $250 PS3)
- 80 Million PS3s in the world (maybe 70m operational) vs 3.7m WiiUs. Ouch! Why would developers bother with the WiiU (they aren't).
WiiU: $300
- Is almost half the size of the PS3.
- Has a tablet controller (but its bulky and has a 3hr battery life)
- It came out 6 years after the PS3, but isn't more powerful.
The ONLY way to make the WiiU survive is to bring down the pricing. The Wii is a $130 console... for little kids, its fine. The U should have been a $200 product, LAST year on launch and not have the tablet controller. Considering that the U cannot play any media content is plain stupid. IMHO, if the value of the PS3 is $200 with MORE features and support, the value of the U is $150, at best. At that price, its a loss to Nintendo. And worse, even at $150 - it would never catch up to the PS3/360 (combined 140m+ operational units) in market share.
The U will never be considered a console for serious players (age 16 and up).
The Wii is stagnate at 100m units. Its technology is 12 years old. It will out-live the U, especially when its priced under $100. Nothing wrong with it being a kiddie console for 3~9 year olds.
The failure of Nintendo was NOT aiming for their core market users, little kids. Parents are not likely to buy a $300~400 console for their 5yr old, vs $100~200.
Nintendo has two choices:
A) End the WiiU in Feb 2014 (after horrible sales). Start making their games for the PS4 (which will hit 2-3 million units by then) and PS3 (70m). Make the Wii a $99 console. Nintendo will make MORE money selling 20+ million Mario games for the PS3 than 2million for their own dying WiiU. Keep selling the Wii until less than 1m units are sold per year or whatever.
A2) * Nintendo has released the Wii-Mini for China, Europe and Canadian markets. Its $100 and doesn't include any games. It has a single USB connector. It doesn't play GC games, no HDTV connections, no SD-slot, no WiFi or internet functions. Its actually slightly smaller than the WIi. Should be called the WiiC (Cheap) as its a top-loading black and read device. Its ugly.
B) Kill the Wii. Sell the Wii-U for $130, without the tablet-controller. Call it the Wii2 maybe... and target the system for kiddies. Its a mess. Besides most Wii games were made by Nintendo anyway... so if they lose more 3rd party support, would anyone care? Maybe they'll gain smaller studios?
0drwho1 , August 29, 2013 7:26 PMeven if it dropped to $50 minus $49.99 REBATE.... I still won't care.
0Anonymous , August 30, 2013 7:44 AMstill DGAF. You can build an entry level PC or buy the PS4 for 100$ more.

By Sharon FosterAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 8, 2009 A California based troop-support group has collected and mailed more than 600 Easter baskets as part of April's observance of the Month of the Military Child.
"Because the Easter bunny and children go hand-in-hand, our Easter project was directly targeted to the children," said Karla Davis, Pennsylvania state coordinator for Soldiers' Angels. "We were blessed enough with support for sending out over 610 Easter baskets this year. There were also several hundred gift cards sent with the baskets to help the parents in purchasing Easter dinner."
The majority of the baskets went directly to Fisher Houses and military bases to be distributed to military children.
"Fisher Houses and military bases have contacted me already, to say, 'Wow, we received the Easter baskets,'" Caren Vink, vice president of Soldiers' Angels, said. "They say, 'This was awfully nice of Soldiers' Angels outreach to honor our families.' This mission focused on supporting military families with children here at home for the Easter holidays."
Soldiers' Angels collected Easter items by posting a letter of invitation on the group's Web site several months ago, asking Americans to support military families with children for the Easter holiday. Americans were asked to drop off Easter baskets at different Soldiers' Angels locations.
"We had such a great outpouring by our donors and angels," Vink said. "We had many donors that were prepared to send pre-filled Easter baskets, sealed bags of Easter candy and gift cards across the country to these kids."
Military families not at Fisher Houses or military bases were able to request Easter baskets via e-mail.
In the past, Davis said, Soldiers' Angels had received many requests for help with purchasing Easter baskets and felt honored to reach out to military families during the Month of the Military Child.
"These children are making as many sacrifices for our country as our heroes," she said. "They are lending their hero to the entire world. Soldiers' Angels has always paid particular attention to military children during this month and every month."

Invisalign is the product image-conscious yet dentally challenged individuals have been waiting for since the beginning of time. Specifically, Invisalign rids the world of the "metal mouths" created by traditional braces by straightening teeth using a series of clear, removable plastic aligners that are custom-made for each person. Plain and simple: Invisalign finally gives individuals in need of teeth-straightening something to smile about -- something they can do while their teeth are being straightened.
The relationship between Invisalign and old-school metal braces is very similar to the relationship between Britney Spears and dignity: the introduction of the former inevitably signals the death of the latter. In the end, though, what makes this fashion item truly unique is the fact that no one will ever notice you're wearing it.
Unlike transparent soda pop, clear braces are bound to become the new standard in teeth-straightening products. And though metal braces may remain a popular alternative for the young'uns, the fact that fully functional, fully employed adults can have their teeth straightened without being snickered at makes Invisalign well worth its slightly more expensive price tag.
