Foreign firms eye U.S. assets as on sale
Neither Kennywood Entertainment nor The Meadows were for sale when they agreed to be acquired by foreign buyers last week.
But the companies essentially had been marked down -- due to a weak dollar that makes takeover currency stronger for foreign acquirers.
Nor are the two, marquee entertainment businesses the only local companies to be in foreign hands. There are dozens of foreign-owned companies in the Pittsburgh area. They include big stalwarts such as:
= Westinghouse Electric Co., acquired by Toshiba Corp. of Japan in October 2006 from British Nuclear Fuels Ltd., which bought Westinghouse in 1998.
= Duquesne Light Holdings, acquired by the Macquarie Group of Australia in May.
= Citizens Bank, whose parent Royal Bank of Scotland acquired Mellon Bank's branches in 2001 and changed the name.
"What we're seeing is the familiar phenomenon of globalization," said Norman Robertson, economic adviser to Smithfield Trust Co., Downtown.
"When you have integration of economies, you have free movement of labor, capital, and goods and services. So this should come as no surprise," said the economist of the region's two latest foreign deals.
On Tuesday, Parques Reunidos of Madrid agreed to acquire Kennywood Entertainment for an undisclosed price. The deal includes the iconic amusement park in West Mifflin, which has been in local family hands since 1906, as well as Idlewild & SoakZone, Sandcastle Waterpark and other properties.
The very next day, Australia's Crown Ltd. said it would pay $1.75 billion for the parent of The Meadows racetrack and casino in Meadow Lands, Washington County. The deal includes three Las Vegas casinos owned by Nevada-based Cannery Casino Resorts, which bought The Meadows in 2006.
The Meadows, in fact, had been foreign-owned before -- twice. That is, the race track part was sold for $53 million by Hilton Group plc, the British hotelier, to Magna Entertainment Corp., of Ontario, Canada.
American anxiety over perceived "U.S.-assets-for-sale" signs grew in the late 1980s when trophy properties were swept up. Japanese interests bought icons such as Rockefeller Center, Columbia Pictures and Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Just last year, blowback from the controversial takeover of security operations at six major U.S. ports by Dubai Ports World as part of its purchase of London's Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation within weeks caused United Arab Emirates' Dubai Ports to divest the U.S. properties to AIG of New York.
The dollar has declined in value for years against other currencies, including the euro, the currency of Spain's Parques, and the Australian dollar, the currency of Crown. Specifically, the Australian dollar has increased nearly 16 percent against the U.S. dollar since December 2005, and the euro has jumped about 20 percent.
So, Crown will spend 15.7 percent less in Australian dollars than it would have paid two years ago because the currency has risen that much against the U.S. dollar.
"They (Parques and Crown) are both from countries with strong currencies," said Peter Morici, labor economist and business professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. "Right now, U.S. assets seem like a particularly good bargain."
Richard Golding, CEO of Parques Reunidos, said in an interview with the Tribune-Review last week that the weakened dollar was not really an issue in the Kennywood deal because his company is paying in dollars.
But the acquisition mentality is not static, said Chris Telmer, associate professor of financial economics at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business.
"It's not so much the value of the dollar (currently), but what you think the dollar is going to do in the future," said Telmer. "These acquisitions reflect foreign optimism about the value of the U.S. dollar. History tells us this (decline) will only go so far" before it reverses itself.
Assuming that's true -- and other economists agree with Telmer -- the theory is that Parques' and Crown's cash flow from their acquisitions should be worth more in the future because customers' U.S. dollars pumped into Kennywood's rides and The Meadows' ponies and slots would be worth more.
"It's quite a coincidence that both are in the entertainment business, which are investment-intensive businesses," said Tom Nist, economist and Donahue chair, investment management at Duquesne University.
"But they generate a lot of cash," Nist said. "So, if the dollar recovers and improves, that's another source of return for them."
The dollar has dropped for several reasons, especially because the growth rate of other nations' economic output exceeds that of the United States. In addition, heavy imports of foreign oil, outsourcing jobs overseas and bulging U.S. trade deficits cheapen the dollar. It's the age-old equation of supply and demand, said Jay Sukits, finance professor at the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School of Business
"The more U.S. dollars that get pushed out of the country and do not get repatriated back to our country, the more it puts pressure on the U.S. dollar, forcing it down lower," said Sukits. "The bigger the supply of U.S. dollars (abroad), the lower the value of the dollar. And that's what's been happening in the last four to five years."
But historically, the tide of dollars tends to reverse, he said, and the greenback reaches an equilibrium against foreign currencies. Veteran economist Robertson recalled post-World War II when the U.S. economy was whirring, Americans were saving, less oil came from abroad, trade balances tilted in America's favor -- and it was U.S. concerns with mighty dollars doing the buying.
"Americans were gobbling up everything else in the world for 20 to 30 years after the war," he said.

Nigeria's opposition eyes ousting ruling partyComment on this story
Abuja - Nigeria's four main opposition parties have announced a merger, forming a coalition which could pose the biggest threat to President Goodluck Jonathan's ruling party since the end of military rule in 1999.
Previous attempts at opposition alliances have fallen apart due to infighting and regional differences. The newly created party will be tested when trying to agree on a presidential candidate for the 2015 election.
"At no time in our national life has radical change become more urgent," said a statement signed on Wednesday by representatives of the four parties.
"We, the following progressive political parties, namely ACN, ANPP, APGA and CPC, have resolved to merge forthwith and become the All Progressive Congress and offer to our beleaguered people a recipe for peace and prosperity."
The People's Democratic Party has won every presidential election since a return to civilian rule 14 years ago. It controls around two-thirds of the states and has a healthy majority in both houses of the national assembly.
The four merging parties control almost all the remaining seats and managed to reduce the PDP's majority in both the states and parliament in elections in 2011.
"All the main opposition leaders have for some time backed the concept of a merger; the challenge will be to translate such common purpose from principle to practice," said Antony Goldman, head of Africa-focused PM Consulting.
"Policy and ideology do not feature prominently in a political discourse in Nigeria that is principally about winning or losing - and personal rivalries," Goldman said.
Tightly fought elections in Africa's biggest oil producer can often stoke violence. Hundreds were killed in riots in the mostly Muslim north when Christian southerner Jonathan won the presidential vote two years ago.
The move by Jonathan's opponents indicates how politicians are turning their attention to elections and threatens to distract from vital reforms needed to support Africa's second largest economy. It also mounts pressure on Jonathan to rally support from within his party and outside if he is to win re-election.
It is yet to be seen if every state governor and lawmaker supports the merger. Official changes of party will have to be agreed with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The INEC spokesman did not respond to calls for comment. - Reuters

General: 'Destroy the Islamic State Now'
8:42 AM, Aug 22, 2014 • By DANIEL HALPER
General John Allen, who is retired from the military, says that the Islamic State (known as ISIS, ISIL, or IS) must be destroyed now.
"The brutal murder of the brave American journalist James Foley is meant to directly terrorize the world's media, the international community, and the United States. If all the actions of the Islamic State, or IS, to date weren't sufficiently reprehensible, this act and the potential for other similar acts will snap American attention with laser-like focus onto the real danger IS poses to the existence of Iraq, the order of the region and to the homelands of Europe and America," writes Allen in a piece for Defense One.
"Make no mistake, the abomination of IS is a clear and present danger to the U.S. The only question really is whether the U.S. and its allies and partners will act decisively now while they can still shape events to destroy IS, an act that seems increasingly self-obvious."
Allen argues that because the U.S. has already struck ISIS and because the U.S. has unique military capabilities, it is incumbent upon America to do the dirty work.
"The U.S. is now firmly in the game and remains the only nation on the planet capable of exerting the kind of strategic leadership, influence and strike capacity to deal with IS. It is also the only power capable of organizing a coalition's reaction to this regional and international threat. As a general officer commanding at several levels in the region, I can say with certainty that what we're facing in northern Iraq is only partly a crisis about Iraq. It is about the region and potentially the world as we know it," writes Allen.

Hi there,I am new to this site,but I write fantasy stories.My characters you do not know now,but you will get to know them. and sorry for my English I am not from an English speaking country.
So my storie,today I will be telling you a tale,about a 15 year old boy who is an adventurer,has an elf girlfriend and his parents don't know anything about that.He is my favorite character of my stories,and the one I use most often.His name is Mark.
Today,started as any other school day.He woke up,had some breakfast,and went to school.
The class progressed normal,and than the lunch brake he sneaked out of school and got into a near by forest he placed his bag on a rock near a small river passing through the forest.He took a apple from the bag and had a little snack.Than he heard some noise in the bushes,and a big white wolf came out,jumped on him pressing his chest with her head.Than the wolf turned into a beautiful elf,with soft skin,red lips,and long blonde hair,and her deep blue eyes where looking at him.He than leaned his head forward and kissed her.She was his elf girlfriend,Malthiera.They've god up and Malthiera asked him:"Her Mark,your birthday is in seven days,what should I get you.""A pet dragon?!"He replied,but than continued:"No,no I can't keep hin without anyone noticing."She than replied:"Hmm,I think I know what to give to you,but it's a surprise!"-"Oh come on,tell me Malthiera my love."He said in a sarcastic voice.She smiled at him as they walked by the river.As thay getting deeper in to the forest,Mark noticed something under her elegant,green elvish dress.He asked her what was that but got no answer.
Seven days later it was his birthday,it was a sunny day and he had some guests.They were all talking,but Mark thought about Malthiera,he hadn't seen her in three days now.But than an owl came it through his window and in her claws there was a letter,Mark took the latter and let the owl go,he know that owl are used by elf's to send messages.He open the letter:
"My love,come meat me where the rainbow falls on our lips."
He know that must be the waterfall where they two kissed the first time,when they saw a rainbow.He went there and she was waiting,with a smile on her face that she couldn't hide from him,in her hand she was holding a sword,made out of elvish steel,the most powerful kind of sword that can be made,it was blue,as all elvish seord are.They kissed,and they went to his home to celebrate.
So that was the story,if any of you have read my work before,you are familiar with this characters,and just so you know this is just a story for the new readers to meet them,there will bw far more action in other stories,for those new guys now you know the characters,and soon you'll know how sharpe is the elvish blade.Hope you liked it see you all soon!

Nanowire Computing Made Practical
Researchers have made efficient nanowire logic circuits that could be mass produced, slashing the size of transistors.
One of the leading candidates for a technology that could make computers smaller and more powerful is based on transistors made from semiconducting nanowires. But until now, circuits made with such transistors have been impractical, because they were too power hungry and too difficult to manufacture. Now researchers at Caltech have built efficient nanowire-based circuits using a process they believe could be reliable enough for mass production.
The first applications, which could be available commercially in five years, will probably be in ultrasensitive, inexpensive sensors that could detect and measure hundreds of different cancer markers or pathogens in a small sample, such as a single drop of blood. Eventually, the nanowire-based electronics could be used in processors for computing.
Nanowire logic is part of a growing effort to find new ways to produce computer chips after conventional methods run into physical limits. Other possibilities include carbon-nanotube transistors and molecular electronics, which would use organic molecules as transistors; but while those technologies have their own advantages, nanowires can be made of silicon, the material chip makers are used to working with. And they can more easily be made into arrays with consistent electronic properties.
In the current work, the Caltech researchers created logic gates in which the centers of neighboring nanowire transistors were spaced at about 30 nanometers, denser than in state-of-the-art devices made with current technology. But lead researcher James Heath, a chemistry professor at Caltech, says that in these experiments, achieving the smallest possible size wasn't the goal: they could have gone "much, much denser," cutting the spacing at least in half. Such increase in density would allow far more transistors–and hence more computing power–to be squeezed onto a chip.
The work demonstrates for the first time the ability to exploit nanowires in CMOS, today's standard semiconductor technology, using a process that could be adapted to mass production, Heath says. Most previous work with nanowire transistors had used older, more energy-intensive technology. And the few examples of CMOS-type circuits with nanowires were one-off prototypes, Heath says, not practical candidates for large-scale manufacturing.
CMOS relies on two kinds of transistors, n-type and p-type. One reason for the lack of reproducible nanowire CMOS devices is that it's been difficult to make n-type nanowire transistors reliably. Even slight changes to their surfaces, caused by impurities deposited during manufacturing, can lead to wide variations in performance. Indeed, "most everything you do makes them p-type," Heath says. So after studying how nanowires respond to surface changes, the researchers selected methods for treating the surfaces to remove impurities. This enabled them to make reliable devices.

When West Virginia has its first ever meeting with UNLV -- which will no doubt become one of the greatest rivalries in college football history -- on Saturday it's possible it'll be doing it with one of its best offensive weapons. Noel Devine hurt his toe in the Mountaineers' loss to LSU two weeks ago, and though Devine stayed in the game, he was obviously limited, finishing the game with only 37 yards on 14 carries.
Now, even though West Virginia was off last weekend, and Devine's toe has had time to heal, there's still some question about his status against UNLV. Not even his head coach is all that sure, though he is encouraged by how Devine is treating the injury.
"He is trying to get on the mend; he has a bone bruise under his toe," West Virginia coach Bill Stewart said of Devine, who has 391 yards and two touchdowns in the first four games. "It is not turf toe, it is a bone bruise, so when he pivots, that aches. ... A bone is not like a muscle or a joint, but hopefully he will be good."
"He is doing good, I won't say great. I won't know [his full status] until Saturday in warm-ups. What he did [Monday], that I was really proud of, was that he was either in class or in treatment. I told him don't leave the [football] building except for class, and he didn't. I thought that was kind of neat."
Should Devine not be able to go on Saturday the Mountaineers will rely on Shawne Alston and Daquan Hargrett, though Stewart also said that freshman Trey Johnson could enter the mix as well.

I have used genieimaging, they were good. More recently I have used "The Darkroom UK Ltd" who charge £4.50 for processing only. This price includes VAT and postage both ways so the cost is comparable to Genie when you add these elements in. The last 3 films I've developed myself which is cheaper again. Once I have the slides or negs they get scanned on an Epson V700 - expensive to buy but I wish I had got is sooner to cut out the costs of scanning by labs sooner.
Labs often quote a price for scanning which is only for a fairly low resolution and the cost spirals once you go to a higher resolution. Scanning at 3200 dpi with a 6*7 negative results in an image file around 56mp which is easily achievable with the v700.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A federal appeals court in Cincinnati has upheld President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
The ruling is the first by a federal appeals court on the overhaul.
The three judge 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel delivered a long opinion Wednesday with disagreement on some issues. But it affirmed a Michigan federal judge's earlier ruling that Congress can require Americans to have minimum insurance coverage.
A conservative law center had challenged the provision. It said that it was unconstitutional and that Congress was overstepping its powers.
More than 30 legal challenges have been filed. The case is expected to eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Saad Ghosn elevates Blueie to the realm of angels.
- Filed Under
Angels as benevolent celestial beings have been around for millennia. They appear in practically every religious tradition, from the Bahai faith to Zoroastrianism.
At the very least, they exist in the human imagination. In four 2009 polls conducted, more Americans believed in angels than in global warming.
The first Christian depiction of angels comes from the mid-third century, and there is no shortage of contemporary images as demonstrated in the current exhibition, simply titled Angels, at The Carnegie. ...

Mackenzie holds three-shot lead in Girls Division
after second round
AURORA, Ore., - Cody Upham of Vancouver, Wash.,
fired a second-round 69 to join Erik Olson of Renton,
Wash., and Nick Higham of Shelley, Idaho, atop the leaderboard
of the PING Langdon Farms Junior Classic. In the Girls
Division, Paige Mackenzie of Yakima, Wash., held onto
her opening-round lead by shooting a 76.
The PING Langdon Farms Junior Classic, conducted by
the American Junior Golf Association, features 84 of
the nation's top junior golfers ages 13-18. Hosted by
Langdon Farms Golf Club, this week's field includes
players from nine states and Canada, five of whom are
Polo Golf Junior All-Americans.
Upham's second-round 69 came on the heels of a Tuesday
back nine in which he carded a 40.
"I just had a bad finish to a good round yesterday,"
said Upham, who had a 31 on his front nine on Tuesday.
"I hit a lot of good shots early and was able to
keep my momentum after that. I've driven the ball well
the past two days and I've putted well, it's just been
that some of my putts haven't dropped.
Joining Upham in Thursday's final group will be Olson
and Higham who both shot 71.
"I just grinded it out today and didn't give up,"
said Olson. "I just wanted to keep myself in the
tournament today."
"I played the same way today as I did yesterday,"
said Higham, who like Olson followed up his first-round
69 with a 71. "I'm just hitting greens and two-putting.
The key to this course for me is the driver. If I can
hit fairways and greens, I'll be all right."
In Thursday's second-to-last Boys Division group are
Sean Packer of Sumner, Wash., Jeff Osborn of Glendale,
Calif., and David Fern of Spokane, Wash., all with a
two-day total of 141.
In the Girls Division, first-round leader Mackenzie
struggled through her round, but credited her putter
as the reason she is still in the lead.
"I managed to make some putts on the back nine,"
said Mackenzie, who has a two-day total of 147. "I
hit the ball poorly and wasn't hitting good approach
shots. My score would have been a lot higher if not
for my putting."
Sung Lee of Tacoma, Wash., had the low girls round
of the day with a 71 to put her in second place with
a 36-hole total of 150.
"The course was tough today, but I played more
carefully, learned from my mistakes and improved a lot
from yesterday," said Lee. "I always seem
to play the course better on the second day."
Rounding out the top three of the Girls Division is
Sarah Bassett of Spokane, Wash., at 153.
Final-round action begins Thursday with tee times starting
at 7:30 a.m. off the No. 1 and 10 tees.

I went to a BR show about a month ago, it was my second BR show I've been too.
Anyway the horses there were like really "crazy" ( at least to me being a novice). Some of them were rearing and spinning before they even entered the chute. Some had to be lead in because the riders were having diffuclty controlling them. I was simply amazed at how at how fired up they were.
One rider almost ran into another group of riders because their horse was so hot.
My friend said that those are the type of horses you'd want when barrel racing. Is this true?

Agreeing to Disagree
"We can't expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down."
~ President Barack Obama – University of Michigan Spring Commencement 2010
When President Barack Obama delivered the commencement speech to the 2010 graduating class at the University of Michigan, the message he shared with young people entering the "real world" is applicable to all student leaders, too.
President Obama focused much of his commencement message on the differences and disagreements that are inevitable in our diverse world.
Leaders often find themselves in positions of disagreement. We are all entitled to our opinions; however that often means that we are going to face times when our ideas don't quite match those of others. This can lead to conflict, which can be a positive part of the leadership process – when managed well.
This doesn't mean you have to agree with everyone, on everything, all the time. It just means that you need to intentionally determine ways you can respect those with whom you may disagree.
Adapting some of President Obama's talking points, consider these "rules" of how to successfully agree to disagree:
Be open to conflict and disagreement. Model for others the value in healthy debate and the sharing of different points of view.
Ask for what you may not want to hear. Welcome different opinions and ideas. Display a desire to hear "another side" to every story.
Listen and learn from opposing views. President Obama suggested that graduates glean valuable information from reading or listening to an opposing news source. You never know, it just might enhance your own beliefs.
Treat others as you would like to be treated. It is a basic and simple rule, but often hard to stick to in the heat of a passionate debate.
Make it safe to voice a different opinion. Invite feedback via email, a phone call or at the start of each meeting. Recognize those who are brave enough to express a different perspective.
Stick to the facts, Jack! President Obama quoted Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan in addressing this point: "Everybody is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."
Wait before you respond to a disagreement. Take a breath and give yourself time to think through your response, a possible solution to the conflict, and ensure an effective and civil response. This is not a time to hurry to "win" the argument.

December 1, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- The Alabama District Attorneys Association and a victims' advocacy group, Victims of Crime and Leniency, are opposing new sentencing guidelines set to take effect Oct. 1st in Alabama.
The guidelines were written by the Alabama Sentencing Commission, and they apply to nonviolent offenses. They are expected to result in fewer nonviolent offenders going to prison.
Prosecutors say the guidelines weaken their ability to use the threat of prison to settle cases and will result in more jury trials and delays. They want to see changes in the guidelines.
Reports say that Alabama's prisons are at nearly twice their designed capacity, and the state has got to make a choice about using scarce prison space for people convicted of violent crimes or people convicted of theft.

According to a report from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), the nation's mobile subscriber base has jumped to over 840 million* at the end of May. That's more than 13 million subscribers added since the previous month, representing a 1.61% growth rate. This appears to correlate with recent numbers from Voice & Data that showed an average of 10 million new handsets purchased per month for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.
While the number of urban subscribers still far outweigh those in developing rural areas (554 million to 285 million, respectively), the latter is showing over two percent monthly growth.
As for which companies performed well for the month, Reliance Communications saw the biggest increase in subscriptions with 2.5 million added. Bharti Airtel, which leads the market with over 167 mobile subscribers alone, added 2.45 million, as did Vodafone Essar. See a more complete list of leaders in the chart below.
It's interesting to compare the user bases of the world's two 'mobile superpowers' India and China. Even with this latest report, India still remains second to China, which saw its own mobile subscribers surpass the 900 million mark in May.
Note: TRAI disclaims that "out of the total 840.28 Million subscribers, 588.13 Million subscribers were active subscribers on the date of Peak VLR (visitor location register) for the month of May 2011." This figure would exclude users who are switched off or out of covered areas at that time.

Early-Drug Screening Is Due For Review
Molecularly Editing Populations for Specific Benefits
Keeping in Mind that Immunotherapy Doesn't...
They Made the Most of the...
Biogen Idec has selected Unilabs to provide a companion diagnostic anti-JCV antibody assay test, called Stratify-JCV. The presence of anti-JCV antibodies is part of a three-factor risk stratification algorithm, along with prior immunosuppressant use and treatment duration, used to calculate the risk of Tysabri-treated patients developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
The test is a two-step ELISA assay used to detect anti-JCV antibodies. To support customers, ordering needs, and volume of samples, Unilabs and Biogen Idec have also developed a closed web interface. This will allow neurologists to order sampling and shipping materials, register courier sample pick- up details, and request language and format of analytical reports. Also, neurologists can seek sampling, shipping, and medical support in five languages through a multilingual call center.
The project is centralized to and managed by Unilabs in Copenhagen. "Unilabs is an independent commercial laboratory with a very high reputation, a strong European footprint, and excellent international skills, competences, and agility," comments Natascha Schill, Biogen Idec.
Unilabs says that it operates in over 100 laboratories and 30 radiology units in Europe. It serves hospitals, outpatients clinics, GPs, occupational health units, insurance companies, drug development companies, and CROs.

I am waiting for this to go on discount/be offered as Club Nintendo reward.
Man I wish New Super Mario Bros. U was this creative.
There was also a remix of Super Mario World's boss theme when faced Reznor. The fact it was remix kinda takes away from even that.
But hey! At least it wasn't in NSMB!
Wish the writer of this article waited until it was revealed that Swapnote was used to commit sexual abuse...
This might sound sadistic, but if I were Nintendo, I'd delay the 3DS version 2 weeks or so. Let's face it. The Wii U needs this game more.
For goodness sake, when will this come out?
The reuse of certain songs was inevitable. The actual levels themselves look pretty fresh. And we should be thankful that they didn't LITERALLY rip the ENTIRE soundtrack from 3D Land like they did for NSMBU and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
You know what, THIS should have been the game to bundle the Wii U with at launch.
You know what, THIS should have been the game to bundle the Wii U with at launch.
I pretty much agree with this article, though personally think the Wii U will outsell the N64. Definitely not match Wii but fall between 40-50 million units lifetime. Afterall, we have to remember that the generations where Nintendo struggled most were when the competition competed with them DIRECTLY. Something tells me over the year, Nintendo's come to realize that the pursuing the "hardcore" crowd is a lost cause and from hear on out will get back to pushing more classic style experiences. Something that we must remember is that price and motion controls were only part of Wii's success. Another crucial element in its success is that it was essentially a living fossil of old school gaming via Nintendo's first party lineup. (I mean DKCR and NSMBWii were like total nostalgia punches.).
Back in June I already knew it'd be more innovative than Galaxy 2. Now it just might be more innovative than THE Galaxy.
I see this game as a classic example of why you don't judge a game from it's FIRST trailer. Especially a NINTENDO game. I never doubted its potential and my expectations were STILL surpassed!
I am also surprised by how few comments are here. Especially after that 2nd trailer which gave us a taste of what this game is REALLY made of.
sigh The fact that you disagree with me is ironically proof that you didn't even understand my comment. First of all, I didn't even say it got the TOP spot. I am aware that it placed 4th. Now as for the meaning of the comment, what I meant was that it got the best spot that would have been POSSIBLE. The only games that were higher were GTA and FIFA, games that in the UK, and it (and any other new game available at the time) had NO CHANCE of placing higher. By saying it got the REALISTIC top spot, I am saying it got the best spot that was even possible for its launch week. The fact that it was only beaten by those games is a testament to how well it did. Next time, try taking more time understand people's comments.
Oh the memories I had with Pacman World 2 on GCN. I am actually getting this because it looks like the closest thing we'll get to a Pac Man World 4. I actually hope they delay in North America too. It wouldn't have a chance against Super Mario 3D World and Sonic Lost World and coming out in March would allow it to launch after Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, free of any competition.
But hey! This will be an AMAZING game to buy!......Once it's $20.
I am just going to say that Wind Waker HD got the "realistic" TOP spot, considering how the only games that placed higher were Grand Theft Auto and FIFA.
Now THAT'S how you advertise Ninty! Now do Mario Cat Suit Parade through New York City on launch weekend!
And before anyone thinks I'm crazy, watch this:
We'll probably see some more info on this within the next couple of Nintendo Directs as we start to head into 2014.
That's right. And if Ubisoft had let this d%mn game release when it was suppose to, it could have actually SOLD a few systems and prevented a lot of the BS that Nintendo had to go through these past 7 months. Honestly, the whole Wii U Crap Train started when they delayed and multiplated it...
Nice going Ubisoft! If you released this game like it should have then it would sold well thanks to being a exclusive Wii U game and having no competition. But nooo. Instead you decided that it would sell better as a multiplat (or were tipped off) and decided to delay 7 effing months. And because of that move, the Wii U lost all hope of sustaining holiday momentum and saw 7 months of horrible press and game cancellations. And now you're unexceptional multiplat is set BOMB harder than Rayman Origins. But do you know what really makes the irony hurt? It looks like it's selling best on the Wii U. Ubisoft, I am sorry, but you can FORGET about me buying this game at full price. Sorry Rayman, you deserved better...
Whoa. Never realized that this game got delayed into 2014, and you know what? GOOD. In 2012, we got smashed in the rear with Mario games galore and it came back to haunt Nintendo and the Wii U launch. With Super Mario 3D World being the Wii U's biggest game this holiday, it's crucial people get a break from Mario before his next adventure hits. I was worried people would get exhausted with Dream Team, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, and Mario Party, but with Mario Kart 8 AND Mario Golf World Tour launching next year, it should give Mario the proper level of games needed to keep people from being "Marioed" out when 3D World hits. With Mario being my favorite franchise, I am happy to see this. Nintendo's finally coming out with a varied lineup for both 3DS AND Wii U so I think we should actually appreciate having one less Mario game to risk oversaturating the brand!
And also, with this delay, maybe Camelot will take time to add RPG elements like they SHOULD have with Mario Tennis Open!
Not a surprise at all really. One thing many gamers and journalists are overlooking is how much Sony is pushing for Western content while allowing Japan to fall off the radar. I am expecting the sales charts from Japan to be mostly Nintendo platform stuff once we fully transition to next gen. Not only are big games coming for Wii U, but it seems like Sony doesn't even really care about Japan anymore. I have a feeling the PS4 will do even worse than the PS3 as it's even more Western focused. Barring KH3 and FF15, the PS4 really has nothing noteworthy headed its way that appeals to the Japanese and the Vita shows us what happens to a platform in Japan that puts Western stuff first.
True. But one thing to keep in mind is that last gen, Nintendo actually had a fight on their hands for the handheld market and going by respective times, I believe the PSP was still in the running.
I agree in that a price cut would get people off the fence and Mario Kart and Smash Bros will make sales skyrocket (though I think the games this holiday will do that too). I also agree in that Pikmin 3 by itself won't "save" the Wii U. But as for that PS4 statement, I don't think it'll be that straightforward. Here are things to consider.
1. This console has virtually NO Japanese content in the pipeline. The only 2 significant Japanese games that have been announced at the moment are FF15 and KH3 and who knows when those will launch. Nintnedo will likely have ton of Japanese style games by the time either of those hit the market. I actually predict that PS4 will have less market share in Japan than PS3. The fact that it has 4 in the name won't help. (It means death)
2. Why would the general consumer get a PS4 when they could get a PS3? The PS4 is being set up to get cannibalized BIG time. Sony is still rolling out sweet bundles for the PS3 and that console keeps getting good games.I mean Sony's releasing Gran Turismo 6 on it for crying out loud! Drive Club is gonna get mossed I tell you. Meanwhile, Knack just looks...awful. Just like Wii U, PS4 is loaded with ports for current gen systems. It also doesn't help that PS4's multiplayer will be monetized. If all you care about is playing Call of Duty and other games online, why rush to get a new console that will make you pay for it? Especially if you bought the PS3 for free online? Right now, Sony only has like 7 exclusives annnounced for the PS4's launch months.
3. One thing many seem to overlook is how distinguished Wii U's library will be from its competition. Part of why PS1 and PS2 beat N64 and Gamecube so badly was because those consoles catered to EVERYONE. You had everything from 3D platformers to shooters. But with this gen, third parties seemed to left old school genres in the dust. But as the Wii and 3DS proved/is proving, many people still like these games. Wii U is set to have lineup that caters more to people who aren't fond of types of games that flooded PS360 and are already flooding their successors. While PS4 and Xbox One duke it out, Wii U will have chance to sweep in areas practically NO ONE else is touching. Wii U will also be the most attractive home console to families who actually don't want their kids yelling into mics when they shoot someone's head off. What this article says basically:
I am not saying that the PS4 isn't a threat. But overall, I don't think the Wii U is at as huge a disadvantage as many people think.
Ok, first of all, I thought it was stated somewhere that it did 102k in it's first two days.
Second of all that may not be the best comparison. Pikmin 1 and 2 had more days for their first week than Pikmin 3. Another thing to keep in mind is that Wii U offers the option of downloading games. Considering how Capcom showed us that Japanese gamers aren't afraid to download more than do retail in some cases:
and how Nintendo has given gamers in Japan incentive download the game first week over retail, it also likely sold a lot digitally too. Considering how it's bringing a drought to an end, it wouldn't be crazy to say it sold 20,000 on eShop for those two days.
Now moving forward, I am a HUGE Pikmin fan with the series capturing my imagination when I was 9 with Pikmin 2. And I can fairly confidently say that Pikmin 3 is set to be the best selling title in franchise, at least in Japan, for several reasons:
1. Like the first Pikmin, it's coming out at the begining of the console's life, but doesn't have the burden of being a new IP.
2. It's the first title to end the drought so many owners are snapping it up and it's even encouraging some sales.
3. The Wii U is bound to do better than the Gamecube in Japan (I'm confident it'll do much better in general, but just to accommodate the skeptics) because the PS4 won't be nearly as Japanese game focused as the PS2 was and while the Wii U is just as Japanese accommodative as Nintendo has always been and as bigger stuff comes like Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin will be able to tag along in the momentum boost. It also helps that the Wii U doesn't have the same bad, niche stigma around it that Gamecube had.
4. The series will be looked into by old Nintendo fans who skipped Gamecube and new ones who joined after thanks to the increase in exposure the series got from Wii.
5. It'll be on eShop so it can keep selling even if its print run is ended.
All this in mind, I am confident Pikmin 3 do well!
And THIS folks is why I want Nintendo to go private. The moment you go public, you get idiots like this ^ this guy spewing malarki. First of all, until the entire world says "WE HATE GAMING HARDWARE AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CONSOLE AGAIN", Nintendo will NEVER develop for other platforms. (And even then, they'd probably let the company burn to the ground first.) Unlike Sony, Microsoft, and pretty much all third parties, Nintendo actually makes the hardware to suit the software. Not the other way around! Developing on other systems would force them to work under others bottlecaps. Second of all, Nintendo is MUCH more forward thinking than that. Developing on other systems SEEMS like a good idea. But one thing you have to remember, it that when your software sells on someone ELSE's platform, you have to pay a royalty so Nintendo would lose a good chunk of cash. And on the note smartphones, if Nintendo did that, they'd have to charge MUCH less for the games do to the severe drop in scope and a lot of their IPs probably wouldn't be able to stand out from all the iOS garbage, not to mention be downright ruined by the interface! Platformdrs ala Mario and smartphones don't mix. Also, Nintendo developing for other platforms would remove a lot of the shine their IPs have. Would playing Mario on a tablet be the same? Furthermore, if Nintendo went software only, they'd go the way of Sega. There only source of revenue would be their own software. No more royalties to tide them over. This means they'd have to rush all their games to the market to keep money flowing in which would hurt their quality and profits in the long term. Also, this guy clearly doesn't know a thing about how Nintendo roles. First of all, Nintendo is not in danger of going business. They have like $11 billion in RAW cash to burn, and that's assuming they never profit. In fact, Nintendo has thrice as much money as Sony and Microsoft's gaming divisions combined! Also, Nintendo's been through much worse. cough Gamecube cough And they've still always profited off their consoles. If they didn't go third party then, they ain't going third party any time soon. Iwata is a level headed CEO. He makes his fair share of mistakes, but he knows better than to do anything drastic like develop on smartphones. Especially since he doesn't even do lay offs. Now as for the 3DS and Wii U. The 3DS is lagging? Dude, the 3DS is going to EXPLODE this year! Pokemon X and Y would like a word with you and it has lots of other software in support. As for Wii U, 7 slow months, a doomed console doesn't make. If that were the case, the PS2, PS3, DS, 3DS, and Xbox 360 should have been absolute failures. The Wii U is VERY cost efficent. Just like Nintendo. Hell, Intelligent Systems just said that a Fire Emblem for Wii U would only need to sell 700k to be viable. Nintendo could easily rake it in just selliing 50 million consoles. (Seriously though, I don't why Patcher would think Nintendo would go third party after a console outsold the N64). Nintendo has loads of software coming. If they get their marketing right this time, the Wii U is bound to sell up to 9 million units by the end of the year! Especially if they do a price cut. 1 more thing I want to say. Iwata isn't even going to RESIGN if they don't make that 100 billion yen profit. It's just a goal Iwata has set to push themselves. The Western Media really needs to CHILL OUT. Sheesh...
DANG IT!!! I was already going to buy Fire Emblem, but was planning to hold off on it because I have to pay off my Project X Zone pre-order and I am on the fence with SMT 4. This deal could get me off the fence though. Considering SMT 4 costs FIFTY dollars, I better start a preorder NOW. So much for my wallet getting a break. On the plus side, I should get a Gamestop gift card for my birthday!
I am all up for another single player Mario, especially in Mario 64 style, but I really don't think we need to revist Galaxy. That said, I am ridiculously pumped for Super Mario 3D World!
Why the hell would anyone want Iwata to lay people off? Between making 3DS games, Wii U games, lining the VCs, improving Nintendo Network, and more, they need every hand they can get!
First off, you're right in that the DS seems to have pulled ahead. But the 3DS's performance, IMO, is more impressive. For one thing while the 3DS had bigger launch sales, the post drought put it back at the same level as DS. Speaking of which, while you're right in that DS has pulled ahead, it's not like the 3DS is far behind:
2.84 / 3.61
5.27 / 4.32
6.65 / 6.68
8.83 / 15.03
14.43 / 17.13
16.73 / 19.00
21.27 / 22.19
26.82 / 29.84
35.61 / 31.09
Not only that but the 3DS seems to bounce ahead of the DS every holiday:
First Holiday 2.84 / 15.03
Second Holiday 14.43 / 29.84
And while the DS had three holidays under its belt at this point, launching in the holiday, the 3DS has only had two. Also, the 3DS recently got Animal Crossing in West and the 3DS is getting Pokémon worldwide for the holidays this time as opposed to DS who's first Pokémon didn't hit the West until Spring. It's likely that DS will stay ahead at some point, especially if both handhelds have the same lifespan. You say that the DS's better performance at this point is well deserved because it's a better system with better games. But couldn't one argue that the 3DS itself is perhaps a better system? With its virtual store, it's capable of providing old classics from NES to Gameboy Advance, it's fully B.C with DS, it has more power, offers new depth with 3D effect, and better online features. As for the library, I agree in that it won't get the flood of games DS got, but what about eShop? As 3DS sales increase, it'll become more and more attractive to indies that could somewhat fill the void. They're certainly contributing a good amount of quality games and forgettable crap right now, just as devs did with DS.
Furthermore, there's many things we have to consider in their respective performances other than their game libraries. For one thing, the 3DS is keeping up, even though it doesn't have those disruptive games like Brain Age and Nintendogs. Their 3DS sequels certainly don't seem to be setting anything on fire. Also, the 3DS has to ply its trade in a much, MUCH harsher world. The economy across the world is in tatters and it has much fiercer and direct competition in smartphones and tablets than DS did with the PSP which never really made headwinds in the West. But look at 3DS go. It's keeping up relatively well despite having a higher price, less disruptive gimmicks, and fiercer competition. It could even pass the DS once again this holiday. It might not sell or have as expansive a library as DS, but with everything I said considered, it looks likely to have quite a legacy of its own right. And lastly, going back to what you replied too, the fact the 3DS is holding up despite residing in a tougher world, further proves my point that there is still a good sized audience for old school gaming in a world smartphones seem to be the in-thing.
I don't know why you're all being pessimistic about. This FANTASTIC news! This event is going to get viewed by millions upon millions of people! The Wii U has had the most trouble in Europe so this is be a big boon! If the make the commercials well it's BOUND to help! Plus, it'll get the console's existence out to the crucial mass market. This shows that Nintendo is still clever with marketing. C'mon Ninty. You now have your games coming so take it to the world!
Wrong. Nintendo kicked it into marketing mode with the Wii U Summer Tour.
What's wrong? Didn't you all ever try this game out?
Or how about this?
Sorry, couldn't resist with the second one.
If this makes to eShop, they can have my money.
I know this game is gonna sell well.
In unrelated news, Sony's charging $60 for PS+ to play PS4 games online.
Way to go Donkey Kong! See? THIS is why Retro Studios is making a new DKC game instead of Metroid at the moment.
I personally had quite a blast with this. The coin concept is great, the graphics have indeed improved, the Gold Flower is awesome, and Coin Rush and DLC make for nice additions.
That said, I can understand all the criticism tossed at this game. It just doesn't take the series forward in the right ways. The music is almost completely recycled. The visuals, while better, are merely upresed. Mario's powerup selection is really limited and unexceptional. It's too easy to accumulate lives. The adventure is way too short. And the reuse of Koopa Kids is as uncreative as the whole save Peach is clearly shoehorned. This game should have had a completely new storyline or included Wario somehow. Nintendo, I love you, but even I have to admit that you have to try harder than this...
I love this game a lot! The level design and creativity implemented in the World Map certainly throws back to Super Mario World!
That said, it was not fair to this series to rush this game out and use as a placeholder. A NSMB game for Wii U shouldn't have been made for at least 2-3 years so that they could have put more soul into he game, changed the graphics, improve the Star World, new music, and think of a better power up selection. Now this series is unfairly detested. I hope Nintendo learns from this and makes the next 2D without the new sticker and more effort. Even I must admit that NSMB deserved better than this.
Overall I agree with what you said. The sales will probably to going to shoot up as the games start coming and make the Wii U stand out.
But as for the lack of releases at the moment, the main reason for that was that Nintendo had to bail the 3DS out and Nintendo wanted to give third parties the first half of the year to put out software, carry the console, and possible attract "hardcore" gamers to it. Afterall, third parties tend to whine about their games not being able to compete with Nintendo's (they could though if they put in some effort). That said, it wasn't a very good idea IMO and they were probably better off launching the console in this Spring.
@WiiLovePeace You hit the nail on the head again.
Ditching the Gamepad would have to be the stupidest thing Nintendo could do. The lack of gameplay innovation would leave them no edge against the PS4 for the casual audience. And did it ever occur to these people that maybe Nintendo wants the install base to increase a bit before doing big risky things?
Not only that, but plenty of games like Bayonetta 2, Lego City Undercover, Super Mario 3D World, The Wonderful 101, Sonic Lost Worlds, Wii Party U, and Rayman Legends are using it already. Things are bound to expand as time goes on. And who's to say Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei, X, and Yarn Yoshi won't do anything out of the world themselves. I could especially see Monolith Soft and Intelligent Systems using the Gamepad to demonstrate to Japanese devs the potential it could have.
I see where are coming from when they say nothing big has been done yet, but this stuff takes time. Not only that but taking things slowly gives new audiences a chance to be acquainted with the system before anything zany is thrown their way. Patience people. Besides, looking at the Wii U's manufacturing cost, Nintendo would have no trouble cutting the price if they REALLY needed too. The Basic is $100 cheaper, and it really doesn't offer THAT much more than the Deluxe, especially if you are poor or weren't big on Nintendo Land. Patience.
Like this had to be said! I really see no point in Nintendo trying to compete head on with Sony (Microsoft will probably be near DOA) since the gamers that gravitate towards Sony and Microsoft will probably never give Nintendo a chance. Better to just make a market of your own that keeps gaming nice and simple. Can't wait for the game flood!
I am positive level heads will prevail.
Oh I just meant that I don't see why anyone would be too disappointed about the game being put off since the Wii U's about to get a ton of games in general. I just thought people would appreciate having one less game to toggle with as figure out where to throw their cash. I don't mean to insult or offend.
What are you, made of money? There's a flood of big Wii U and 3DS games coming from both the 1st AND 3rd party side as it is. I'd like to think people would be happy to have an excuse to save their wallets punishment.
Unless this was your most anticipated game that is.
That'd be cool. But I think another franchise deserves a year of their own.

|Transcatheter Closure of a Large Atrial Septal Defect under Microprobe Transesophageal Echocardiographic Guidance.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22150959 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We present a case of an atrial septal defect (ASD) in a 59-year-old man with an indication for ASD closure who also had a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Because of his decreased respiratory function with multiple bullae in his lungs, the procedure was performed without general anesthesia under the guidance of fluoroscopy and two-dimensional (2D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) using a transesophageal echocardiographic microprobe (micro-TEE) (S8-3t; Philips Medical Systems, Andover, MA, USA). The micro-TEE probe was inserted into the esophagus smoothly and easily in the supine position without sedation. It revealed a deficient superior-anterior rim and adequate rims elsewhere, and the maximal diameter of ASD was measured to be 25 mm. Balloon sizing resulted in a stretched defect diameter of 29 mm using the stop-flow technique. A 30-mm AMPLATZER Septal Occluder (AGA Medical, Plymouth, MN, USA) was deployed. The micro-TEE demonstrated that both disks were on the appropriate sides of the interatrial septum and the device was not interfering with surround cardiac structures. Residual shunt flow was not detected with color Doppler. The device was released successfully without any complications. Recently introduced multiplane micro-TEE can provide adequate information about a large ASD with a less invasive procedure in adult patients. Micro-TEE has a potential to become a novel imaging option for interventions of the interatrial septum.(Echocardiography ****;**:E1-E3).

Coral Springs, Fla. – Junior Taylor Crandall and sophomore Maddie Dodge have received Women's Collegiate Golf All-American Scholar honors, the organization announced Tuesday, July 2.
A total of 664 women's collegiate golfers across all three NCAA divisions were recognized with the prestigious award.
"Taylor and Maddie are the definition of student-athlete," said head coach Brenda Howe. "Not only do they excel on the golf course, but they also go above and beyond in the classroom. As a coach, it's an honor to work with players that maintain an amazing balance of competitiveness, a high level of academic success, and a high moral character."
To qualify for the award, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.50 and must have appeared in 50-percent of their team's competitive rounds. Student-athletes must also have attended their institution for an entire academic year, and must be of high moral character and in good standing at their institution.
Crandall played in all but one tournament for the Eagles this past season after transferring from Grossmont College. She had her best showing at the Red Rocks Invitational, tying for ninth with a score of +5 (149).
In her second year with the program, Dodge competed in all nine of Eastern's tournaments this past season. She had an outstanding showing at the Big Sky Championship, tying for the best score on the team while placing in a tie for 22nd.

Courses at the TOB Institute, 1000 Points of Light, The View from here, and other pressing issues for Saturday morning.
Twenty Foreplay... (love that song)
Seriously, as regards the TOB controversies, I don't really have a dog in that race and I'm mostly just adding a little Groucho vs. Margaret Dumont heckling into the mix with my posts. Oh - to be sure, I'm against the Westian cult, for reasons explained by better people than myself. (Dawn Eden, Fr. Geiger, Dr. von Hildebrand.) Call me cynical if you must, but I can't help but be amazed and a little suspicious as regards all the efforts to defend the 'Institute' and West's position - if you know what I mean. I sense there is more to all of this than theology. The TOB tour has been looking more like a lucrative business venture lately... A research institute... publishing... the lecture circuit... Too bad Oprah's going off the air - she could have had Chris West on to boost sales.
Speaking of talk shows.
Yesterday TV was on in the other room, and The View was airing - no I don't watch The View - on of the cats does though. Anyway - they had a couple who went through hell and high water using invitro fertilization - $200,000 a pop BTW - and ended up losing the baby. Naturally they wrote a book.
Two things here - First, all the gals were talking about the baby in the womb - no fetus - baby. So these pro-abortion hypocrites know damn well abortion is murder - it kills human babies.
Second, Whoopie Goldberg seem's to be thinking she's some sort Maya Angelou now days, attempting to pass on sage advice to comfort the youngin's. After the couple discussed losing the baby and their grief, Whoops solemnly interreupts the conversation with something like this: "Now I have known many who have lost their child this way (miscarriage) and like I always tell them...." Her voice lowers with an even more serious tone... "I always tell them this little guy just came to see if you all were ready for him - but he couldn't stay yet - so he left... but he'll be back... he'll be back."
Whatever. "You keep talkin' girl, but you ain't sayin' nothin'!" People are full of hot air - myself included. All I could think of was Melvin Udall's line in "As Good as It Gets" - "Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here."
Other pressing issues....
I'm getting blamed for Tyler Clementi's suicide - well all of the gay suicides actually. Okay - so I'm not personally to blame - but in conversation with a friend or two - I found out it is the Catholic Church's fault - driving gay kids to suicide - since I'm Catholic and support Catholic teaching, I'm just as much to blame. Story of my life. I grew up in a home wherein my dad hated the Church and kept threatening to take me out of Catholic school, refused to let me enter prep-school seminary after 8th grade, mocked priests and religious, while my Catholic siblings made fun of me for being too pious. Believe me when I tell you, I know how to live through anti-Catholic rhetoric and blame.

'All I could think of was Melvin Udall's line in "As Good as It Gets" - "Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here."'ReplyDelete
Oh yes, Mr. Terry. You go!
As for the anti-Catholic rhetoric/bigotry, don't I know it.
It's just crazy, all of it! And I'll end it there because I'm sure y'all don't want to listen to rant and rave! (The dogs don't like it, either:<)!
Thom, calm down, bro!ReplyDelete
Let's just give a look here: bullying kids who "out themselves" is wrong and a horrible evil.
But, let's just consider that a teenager who proclaims to the world he/she is "gay" is going to get pummeled...I mean, that's just reality...it's not right; it's not just; it just IS.
That's why I really don't think it's a good idea for young people, way before they're old enough to have some kind of independence, to proclaim to the world that they're gay; not a good idea. Even Rupert Everett, the British actor, is now saying he's sorry he's made his sexual orientation public...why is this such an important declaration?
The Church's teaching on sexual life is for EVERYBODY: no genital intimacy unless you're validly married; my goodness, how many heteros are called to fidelity by this...and it includes the prohibition of sex with self, viewing porno, lustful thoughts, as well as all of the overt acts with both sexes. Why is this discrimination? Chastity is tough by any means, but we're all in the same boat, yeah?
If you're not validly married as a man and woman, you love the Lord by refraining from genital acts...that includes everyone.
Thom: you naughty boy!!:-)...getting Father riled up on a Saturday!!ReplyDelete
Tancred: Yes. Believe me. It's real...hopefully not so much now(I know what it was like in the '80s...nasty!)...
Thom: don't you know it...it's the Irish in me...can't help it:-)!ReplyDelete
All I can say and pray, is, "Purify my heart...my one desire is to be holy, set apart for you, Lord!"ReplyDelete
May this grace be given to all of us...
married folk need so many graces; it is so difficult to be pure in this insane society...purity...it doesn't mean "puritanism"...but a Catholic understanding of marital love; that is something secret, inviolable and between the spouses...this other crap is just crap...
Tancred - that is an Excellent point - reminder - of what is what. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thom - teen suicide is bigger than recent gay examples - it is more widespread - into young adulthood. Sad to say, it has become another 'choice' in a culture based on choice.ReplyDelete
wow Terry--I didn't realize that you were a "View" kind of guy... :)ReplyDelete
I watched it once and got a migraine...too many conversations going on at once.. :)
