Arturo J. Aldama, Peter J. Garcia and Mike Mosher
After teaching for several years at the "New American University" as Arizona State University was recently renamed following the appointment of Michael Crowe as sixteenth president in 2002, we (Peter and Arturo) felt that we have to address the ongoing discrimination, racial profiling, and state sanctioned violence being mandated throughout Arizona and specifically in Maricopa County. However, leaving students, friends, and colleagues behind in the toxic environment, we both agreed that something more was needed especially on the academic front to discuss the unfortunate situation that has developed in Arizona or actually speak truth to power on this "bad subject." Hence, the focus of this issue is very personal two of the editors and we sincerely hope that this issue of Bad Subjects will make a positive difference in highlighting the racism, violence, and anti-immigrant hysteria coming out of Arizona today.
We find that when Arizona is brought up many scholars, educational and immigration rights activists across the U.S. just shrug and say "Arizona is crazy" or "that is Arizona for you". However we strongly believe that Arizona is a bas-relief to a matrix of racialized biopower that seeks to criminalize and denigrate subjects based on fear-driven paranoia about indigenous and mestiza/o peoples. Evidence is in the surge of copycat legislation most recent in Georgia, New Mexico, Alabama, and, as Mike Mosher points out, in Michigan. In Arizona we have an oligarchy of extreme xenophobic hegemonic activists playing hardball with state laws to create apartheid like system of legalized white supremacy much to the cheers of the American right wing. These oligarchs include the Governor of Arizona, a semi-literate deeply undereducated individual who has been caught in fear mongering lies time and time again. There is a corrupt and deeply violent sheriff who chain gangs poor women in the hot Arizona sun (resuscitating plantation slavery practices) and makes men wear pink underwear for his own cowboy macho homoerotic fantasy. We also see recently elected attorney general who is on a political vendetta to dismantle ethnic studies and insure a white supremacist educational model that keeps the attrition rate for Chicana/o and native youth at the national average or worse. He is threatened by a 97% graduation rate of youth who for him are destined to mow lawns, clean houses and work hidden in kitchens if they are lucky, or make money for the private detention industry as brown skinned working class youth continues to be criminalized and punished by the state apparatus. Finally, we see a state senator who is bankrolled by the private prison industry who introduced SB 1070 and is himself facing corruption charges, among others.
As we enter into the heat of summer 2011, Arizona is trying to enforce HB 2281 that attempts to ban the teaching Ethnic Studies and Mexican American studies in Tucson area public schools. This House Bill was spear headed by recently departed Superintendent Tom Horne who is now attempting to enforce this law in his elected position as Attorney General because he does not enjoy feeling guilty thinking the genocidal practices of manifest destiny. His own feelings of discomfort and threat of subaltern youth becoming empowered drive his vendetta to dismantle and punish students and teachers for protesting their academic freedom and rights to cultural dignity in the classroom. We are witnessing an auto da fe on a Chicano, indigenous, and ethnic studies curriculum. As educators committed to educational empowerment as a human right in our diverse and complex societies, we are dismayed and infuriated by these acts of state sponsored violence. But perhaps we are even more outraged by the lack of outrage by all educators committed to social equity, free speech, critical thinking and social empowerment. When folks compartmentalize Arizona as an isolated case of racism, rather than the front lines of a war about race, ideology and the colonialities of power we stop being responsible allies to the struggles of the pedagogy of the oppressed. We say this aware of some outstanding coalitional efforts to fight back like Save Ethnic Studies and challenge the racism of SB 1070 see Tierra y Libertad, No More Deaths, and We Reject Racism (subjects of an essay in this issue), and MEChA, among other groups. For example, we acknowledge that the Modern Language Association and the National Association of Chicana and Chicano Studies, among professional scholarly associations have written letters and have made formal positions against these issues in Arizona. Also, we are deeply aware and impressed by how much youth, teachers, and community members in Arizona lead the fight for their educational dignity and are on the front lines fighting for classrooms that embrace critical thinking and that allow students to see themselves as part of their curriculum. Please screen the film Precious Knowledge, invite the students and teachers to come to your campus and community.
We start the issue with "Outlaw Arizona: State Seceding from the United States and Humanity" by Roberto Cintli Rodriguez, a long-time activist, journalist-columnist and assistant professor at the University of Arizona. He was one of 15 people detained and arrested in May 2010 in defense of Ethnic Studies and he also took part in the 110 mile-run from Tucson to Phoenix in 115-degree heat in 2009, also in defense of Ethnic Studies. Rodriguez provides an overview of the numerous legislative proposals in Arizona that target the longstanding native, indigenous, and more recent immigrant Mexican populations. Many in Arizona are now looking into calling for Congressional hearings into these legislative assaults. The strategy is also to look outside of the state and even outside of the federal government for relief and exploring the process of initiating a court case(s) before the Organization of American States Human Rights Commission and the United Nations Human Rights Council. His piece frames how Arizona's laws are in fact illegal and break international law and do not conform to the rule of law and are a blatant example of state sponsored racial thuggery at prime interconnected sites in the body politic of the ideological state apparatus.
Next we have a very prophetic piece written by Dr. Rodolfo Acuña in the summer of 2010 in response to the state sponsored and right wing attacks on his academic freedom, and his powerhouse scholarship. Tom Horne and right wing pundits and lawmakers are constantly holding up Dr. Acuña's classic Occupied America along with Paolo Freire as examples of anti-American rhetoric. Dr. Acuña's "The Search for Reason in Arizona" contextualizes his work and the ability of xenophobic and irrational fear-driven discourse to censure the ability for dialogue, reason, and civil discourse. His article clarifies how his attempts to set the record straight and provide factual knowledge about his scholarship and his positions on education are shut down by people in power. He asks, "How is civil discourse possible with people who do not read? Who don't understand the meaning of words? Who have a seriously flawed epistemology?" Like Professor Rodriguez, Dr. Acuña has been on the front lines organizing protests, fighting the anti-ethnic studies legislation, and traveling with MEChA de CSUN students to Phoenix and Tucson participating in demonstrations, marches, and rallies.
Arturo Aldama continues the critique of xenophobia by grounding the current climate of anti-immigrant within the cycles of US nativism. He queries the politics of US nativism to deny the agency and historical presence of peoples native to this continent prior to colonial expansions and looks at the cycles of US nativism to frame the current anti-immigrant climate of state sponsored violence towards brown skinned peoples. He begins with a quote from Chief Billy Redwing Tayac's "Piscataway Nation" reminding readers of the Ghost Dance prophecy and how indigenous and mestizo immigrants are seen here as Hispanicized Indians who have every much right to cross man-made borders as the geese and other migrating animals. The issues concerning Aldama most are the arrogance of power and the absolute sense of racial entitlement that drive a para-military nativist and neo-Nazi vigilante groups along the border have left the margins to enter mainstream America.
Peter J. Garcia takes us on a trip into the Arizona borderlands and expands the critique of racism and corporatization and the sterilization of academic spaces to look at Arizona State University's manifest identity as the new American university. In doing so, he looks at how the former Department of Chicana/o Studies (a discipline that is formed through collective protest towards institutional and educational racism) has been interpellated in the transnational flows of capitalism, a type of NAFTA neoliberal effect. In doing, its resistive edge and commitment to social justice and sacredness of academic and epistemic freedom has been co-opted. Trans-national border studies are now a type of corporate driven propaganda machine that does not embrace and cultivate neocolonial spaces of indigenous and Chicana/o leadership that resists corporate driven capitalist violence.
Doreen Martínez's essay "The Veils of the State: Contextualizing Political Affiliation, Acts of Violence and Illogical Justifications of the Rhetoric of Patriotism" re-examines the recent violence that injured nineteen people including the premature death of nine year old Christina Taylor Green, the assassination of federal Judge John Roll, and the assassination attempt on Gabrielle Giffords. Martinéz questions, "If we select to interrogate mental illness, I argue we must do so at the start. What has happened to our country's mental illness/health?" according to Martínez, Jarod Loughner, the lone shooter in Tucson, "had no formal political memberships but his very location as a Euro-American male privileges his daily existence and facilitates righteousness to his actions." We wonder how much his paranoid schizophrenia was driven by his absorbing the paranoia about immigration, terrorism and allies fighting against this type of state driven racial fascism?
Alberto "Beto" Gutierrez grounds the specific tropes of anti-immigrant/ anti-Chicano hostilities into a history of racialized tropes directed at African American peoples in his rousing piece from Jim Crow to Juan Cuervo. Prisons as the perhaps most violent disciplinary force of punishment and containment are now directed by state sponsored violence towards African American and Brown bodies as new/old generator of wealth based on the exacerbation of human misery on racialized human beings. Chris Gonzalez amplifies these discourses and practices of biopower to look at how racialized subjects are turned into mechanized objects/abjects in his analysis of how capitalist production reduces immigrant labor into Fordist-like cogs of exploited brown bodies.
Jesus Acosta looks at the play of supply and demands of the drug economy and the music and culture that has developed this south to north market driven flow of goods for cash that mediate the emotional and psychic lives of consumers in the United States. Acosta argues that this criminalization of the drug culture without looking at the root causes of dependency among addicts and transnational capitalist nature of this movement directly impacts the racist ideologies that drive SB 1070 and punishes those that are stigmatized by truncated racist thought.
Associate Professor of Spanish Nohemy Solórzano-Thompson and Spanish major Tia K. Butler at Whitman College combine their talents to present "Danny Trejo's Body; Immigrant Males, the Border, and Citizenship in the American Imagination." In their analysis of the rise of anti-immigrant laws, they shift the focus from politics and courts to a sentiment against Latinos in the United States emerging in Hollywood movies and popular entertainment. Solórzano-Thompson and Butler argue: "[i]n all of Trejo's films, his body becomes a metonymy for the immigrant Mexican male and what happens to that body reflects the fears about the Other as imagined in the American mainstream psyche."
"Last Stand" is a performance piece by another well-known Chicano activist, poet, and performance artist Harry Gamboa Jr. Also remembered for his student leadership role in the East Los Angeles Blowouts during the 1960s Chicano Movement, Gamboa also co-founded the avant-garde conceptual-performance art group known as Asco. Gamboa's "Last Stand" is filled with all too familiar images of nostalgic lynchings, wild-west violence, and the failed war on drugs—reminding readers of the untamed and unassimilated Southwest borderlands that remain the last frontier of Manifest Destiny. Art History professor and critic, George Rivera presents some striking photographs of the U.S. and Mexico borderlands and provides a descriptive narrative that captures the dialectical politics of the border zone. He calls on artists and others to make a stand on the ways in which immigrants are demonized world wide, and leaves his narrative with a striking call to arms, "Artists must do their part too. We cannot stand blindly looking from afar. Otherwise, the new Nazis will rise again." We wonder if the oligarchs of Arizona and their copycats show that they have risen again?
Mike Mosher's "Allegory and Alterity: Regulating Labor, Immigration, and the Ruinous Emblems of Hate in Michigan" looks at how the anti-union politics of Michigan have expanded their discursive field to issues of immigration. As Mosher examines the HB 4305 and how it gives the legal power for police to act as de-facto ICE agents under the guise of secure communities. Mosher looks at the tropes that drive the Republican vision that he poetically calls "the Republican cult of ruin" that has a dual prong effect of criminalize workers that are the most easy to exploit immigrants, and to destroy the ability of working class peoples to unionize and get a fair wage and basic worker rights, especially disenfranchised African Americans.
Rebecca Beucher's "Examining Racial Constructions to (Re)theorize Race Relations in the 21st Century" provides an interesting way to think about the stakes of identity and oppression under the myth of a post racial society. She challenges the readers to consider how the tropes of the other and the subaltern continue to drive the politics and practices of power in a globalized society and challenges Americans and America to develop a critical consciousness about ones sustained role in the creation of empires and borders.
Joseph Natoli visited Tucson April 2011 and came away with incisive observations of what a class warrior resistance means to corporate driven capitalism. He reads the anti-capitalist semiotics of an indigenous person's t-shirt and swatch of cloth that states, "Warning Rich Scum…Class war coming to a street near you." Natoli sobers the righteous anger of this class warrior with the ways in which capitalism are so interpellated into wide swaths of society that make it utopian at best to see any type of mass subaltern uprising. In Natoli's read, this young man he references has clearly shattered the false consciousness that drives capitalist alienation and its defense by America's poor, yet why have others not?
In thinking about resistance, Cal State Northridge Chicano visual artist Jake Prendez provides an engaged space of visual semiotics that challenge the viewer to think about the cultural and racial politics of Arizona. His bold, sometimes punctic, sometimes ironic, semiotexte serves as almost a counter spectacle to the spectacle of racial state sponsored thuggery in the borderlands
We end this issue with two pieces dedicated to honoring the historical and complex spaces of resistance to state sponsored violence in Arizona borderlands. "Normalizing Noncompliance: Militarization and Resistance in Southern Arizona" by Geoffrey Boyce and Sarah Launius considers indigenous resistance along the AZ southern borderlands and argues that SB 1070 is a continuation of SB 1070 is merely the latest in a long string of efforts--both military and juridical--to secure the benefits of conquest against those deemed outside the constitutive boundaries of the conquering party. The piece ends by looking at resistance movements that have sprung in response to SB 1070, such as No More Deaths, the barrio-based Tierra y Libertad, and the Tucson-based We Reject Racism that gets into the structural issues of neo-colonial racism. The final piece of this issue is a transcribed interview called, Notes from the Warzone with Dr. Jason Ferreira based on his experiences of taking students from the College of Ethnic Studies in June 2011 to the Arizona borderlands. He discusses his experiences working with students and community members to do human rights solidarity activism with No More Deaths, and We Reject Racism and to witness first hand the juxtaposition of natural beauty in the desert with the violence of racialized biopower of slashed water bottles, and remnants of bloody socks and clothes that mark the struggles of border crossers within a climate of racialized paramilitary thuggery.
We want all people concerned with social justice and the struggles for human dignity to stop shrugging Arizona off as an isolated case and wake up and smell the napalm of this war--just at look at the state of Alabama's HB 56, signed into law June 9, 2011, which punishes immigrants and those who interact with immigrants, teachers, landlords, and even those who stop for hitchhikers. So wake up, stand tall, and resist, resist, resist to this 21st Century Jim (Juan) Crow axiom of evil!!!!

Updated Nov. 4, 2013: Bishop M. Thomas Shaw, SSJE announced to the Diocesan Convention on Nov. 2 his plans to retire at the time of his successor's consecration on Sept. 13, 2014.
Shaw in January 2013 called for the election of a bishop coadjutor to serve alongside him for a period of time prior to his retirement, but he has since decided that the overlap period will be unnecessary, and that the transfer of episcopal authority will take place at the bishop-elect's consecration ceremony.
Shaw made the announcement during an afternoon presentation to the Diocesan Convention that focused on his gratitude for the community life of the diocese and for diocesan ministries initiated during his nearly 20-year tenure that have not only accomplished much but which have also made his own life of faith grow, he said.
He recalled, with good humor, his own experience of the coadjutor period when he became a bishop, and how, at the time, he wondered: "What is this coadjutor stuff for? I'm not doing this when it's time for me to retire." He then proceeded to completely forget all about that resolution until just a few weeks ago, he said, when his prayer about the upcoming election brought it back to mind.
He said he is looking forward to having the next 10 months to continue offering his gratitude to the people and congregations of the diocese. "Then the new time can begin that God is preparing us all for. Let's give the future the most open arms we possibly can," he said.
The convention later voted a resolution in response expressing gratitude for Shaw "as our faithful shepherd, guide, theologian and teacher, enlightening and leading minds into a deeper knowledge of the triune God," citing his role as an advocate for the marginalized, as a builder of the church and "as a witness to the transforming power of the Gospel." [Full text of the resolution appears below.] A sustained standing ovation followed the vote.
In an interview prior to the convention, Shaw said of his decision to retire in September: "Some might think this decision has to do with my health, but it doesn't actually," referring to the brain cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment regimen he's been undergoing over the past six months. "My decision really has to do with my understanding of the episcopate and with God's love," he said.
The election of the new bishop is scheduled to take place April 5, 2014, at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston.
A "Season of Service and Celebration" is being planned to honor Shaw in April-June 2014, beginning with Episcopal City Mission's State House Lobby Day on April 9 as the kick-off service event, and concluding with a picnic and celebration at Franklin Park in Boston on June 21. In between, all congregations are being invited to honor Shaw by organizing or participating in a community service event of their choosing.
Shaw has requested that any financial gifts made in his honor be designated for the diocese's Barbara C. Harris Camp and Conference Center. Information on how to contribute will be made available early in 2014.

A Resolution in Thanksgiving to God for the Episcopacy of the Rt. Rev. M. Thomas Shaw, SSJE
Resolved, the 228th Convention of the Diocese of Massachusetts express, on behalf of the entire Diocese of Massachusetts, our deep gratitude to God for our bishop diocesan, the Rt. Rev. M. Thomas Shaw, SSJE, in the 20th year of his episcopacy as our faithful shepherd, guide, theologian and teacher, enlightening and leading minds into a deeper knowledge of the triune God; and be it further
Resolved, that we give deep thanks to God for Bishop Tom as defender of the poor and marginalized, advocating for those neglected, forgotten and shunned, not only within our church but within our Commonwealth of Massachusetts, our nation and our world; and be it further
Resolved, that we give deep thanks to God for Bishop Tom as builder of the church, encouraging lay ministry, building up lay leadership, raising up and nurturing children, youth, and young people for mission and ministry in the church, calling and forming clergy and empowering us all to grow into our full stature in Christ as we live out God's mission and ministry in and to the world and empowering all of us to claim and live into the promises of our Baptismal Covenant; and be it further
Resolved, that we give deep thanks to God for Bishop Tom as potter and steward, molding the church and all God's people in eastern Massachusetts and beyond, empowering all to grow into the dignity of our personhood; and be it further
Resolved, that we give thanks to God for Bishop Tom as witness to the transforming power of the Gospel and the love of God made known in Jesus Christ, evangelizing the Good News in word and deed to all who would hear.
Bishop Tom, you became our diocesan bishop at a time of turmoil and sadness in our life together. In the midst of deep hurt and pain, you embraced God's call to you to love and guide God's people in eastern Massachusetts. You have prayerfully, steadfastly, generously, calmly and lovingly cared for and led your people in the church and in the world.
Time and again, you have shown hope and faith in response to challenge. Time and again, your response to tragedy and despair has been to remind us of the redeeming, healing love and power of God whose death on the cross triumphed with the Easter resurrection. With the help of God and many others, you have ushered our church into new life through many initiatives and accomplishments that reveal God's continuing love and activity in the world: the establishment of the Barbara C. Harris Camp and Conference Center, the support of the B-SAFE program for youth in our towns and cities throughout our diocese, the founding of the Life Together program for young adults, the TogetherNow capital campaign to support our diocese's mission and ministries and improving and developing relationships and ministries with our brothers and sisters throughout the world. These are just a few of many accomplishments. In 20 years as our diocesan bishop, you have done much to build up the household of God and our witness of God's love in the world. We are so grateful to God for calling you to be our bishop, and grateful to you for discerning and answering God's call to you.
You are above all a man of constant prayer whose deep rootedness and intimacy with God have given you the love, foundation and certitude you have needed for this episcopal work and ministry. With us you have shared your prayerfulness and intimacy with God, inviting us into deeper relationship with God and enabling us to speak more authentically about who and whose we are. Through your example you have reminded us all that the church is not essentially an institution and structure that exists for its own ends but rather an active witness to and conductor of the presence of the living God who made us, loves us, guides us and holds us in being.
You know, Bishop Tom, we will miss you. We will miss your intentionality and your focus. We will miss your dry wit and wily sense of humor. We will miss seeing your bare legs at Diocesan Convention! In so many, many ways, we will miss you. But we know where you live…!
We thank you. And we thank God for you.

Now about the recent announcement of Government planning to open slaughterhouses in Bhutan, we have thousands of comments and hate status' flooding across Facebook protesting against the idea, because two things happened in Bhutan; internet and freedom of speech. It is seen okay to slaughter animals as long as it is being carried out someplace far, someplace NOT in Bhutan, because Bhutan is a Buddhist country; as much as we don't support slaughtering animals as it is seen as something profane, we don't at all mind consuming, for meat is one vital source of protein, besides the treat to the taste buds. Double Standards!
What struck me the most was the hypocrisy adorned with the self-righteous mentality in those comments. Show them a picture of chicken biryani and they will say "yummy," "delicious," "give me the recipe dude" and all but show them a picture of a slaughter house and they will immediately launch into a diatribe about animal rights, sin and how the meat eaters will be cooked in hot boiling oil in Dorji Ngewa and then be born as a cow and be slaughtered. Ask a Hindu and they will say "but cow is goddess dude, how can you kill your goddess?" Yeah! Because it's okay to slaughter goats as they are not cows. What a logic.
We talk about freedom of choice and all yet these bigots choose to abide by and shove down upon others' throats, a particular streak of carefully chosen doctrines and dogmas woven into a set of Dos and Don'ts that the rest of us are suppose to follow like a blind sheep.
And some illiterate idiots will go on even exemplifying Nepal saying "You want Earthquake like Nepal?" Because geographical phenomenon like the plate tectonic movement is mostly initiated by the number of buffalos killed. That leads us to a ground-breaking discovery in the field of geology that the dinosaurs must have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of buffalos that initiated the great Indian tectonic movement which formed the Himalayas some 50 million years ago. I am sure every time these fanatics post stupidity like that; there is a Geography teacher somewhere banging his bemused little head against the wall.
And did you know that we consume more than 5000 cows every year and how do you justify that with your pseudo-religious dumb-wit? Have you seen the line outside the meat shop a day before a month-long meat ban? A month long supply of meat is stored, and then what? Who cares about the ban? What I know from my experience is that Bhutanese will start stealing each other's goats and chickens but won't become a vegetarian because of meat ban.
To further throw light on the subject we have called Lopen Phakpa Lama here at Bhutan Pundit studio.
Bhutan Pundit: So, Lopen Phakpa Lama, can you elaborate on the recent frenzy about the whole slaughter house thingy that has stormed the internet?
Phakpa Lama: Tok tok chem chem pai namjay…
Bhutan Pundit: Whoa, whoa, whoa…hold your horses, sir. Mind your language.
Advantages of having a slaughter house
1. We spend an enormous amount of money in importing meat. Imagine the impact that will bring on our farmers economically.
2. Since we have a very robust regulatory systems like BAFRA, the quality of meat will obviously be well looked into.
3. The spread of diseases will be significantly controlled.
4. Huge economic boost.
5. The outflow of IC can be controlled in millions.
6. God knows the kinds of cancerous substances we've been consuming. I fear.
7. I doubt what chemicals they feed the animals or what preservatives they use.
Disadvantages of having a slaughter house
1. Impending Earthquake.
2. Due to too much consumption of meat, entire population of Bhutan might die of diabetes.
Now, thanks to the thousands of bandwagoning idiots; because we're now pressured to live up to the expectations of countless morons who dictate how the rest of us should live our lives based on some well-intentioned idiocy coined by some first century sage and to play our part in their contrived narrative to bring closure to the Idea of our choice and freedom.
Congratulations. You won.

Contradicting the popular notion that the purchasing public is an inherently conservative beast, two out of three consumers said they love to try new products, in a recent survey of over 1,000 consumers by research firm Markitecture. Some 76% said they weren't afraid to try new things, just over half said they find shopping fun and buy new products all the time and 44% went as far as agreeing with the statement that "new products can really make a difference in my life."
low score
All of which sounds encouraging for innovative marketers and jibes nicely with the findings in a twin study of brand managers, marketing VPs and CMOs. That study found that 71% expect to increase new product activity over the next two years; and that 78% believe their companies' future success depends on their ability to develop and introduce new products.
So far so good, right? Wrong. The problem is that marketers don't feel their companies are equipped to deliver. Rating their companies out of 100 in terms of their competence at selecting the most viable new product concepts, marketers awarded an average score of 32%. They gave themselves 34% for their ability to design new products and went only slightly higher, 38%, in rating their launch marketing (advertising, PR, etc.) skills.
New-product marketing is a complex skill, and one that hasn't been used much in the past two decades, said Robert Shulman, founder of market research firm Markitecture and the study's author. He contends that since the early `80s, marketers have relied mainly on brand extensions and cost-cutting for bottom-line growth.
"Companies have gotten all they can out of downsizing and cutting costs and they've extended the hell out of brands to the point where some brands are suffering because they've been extended too far," he said. "There's now a huge emphasis being placed on new products as a major factor for growth."
golden era
The last golden era of new products, the late `70s and early `80s, came about thanks to an emphasis on market segmentation. That allowed marketers to create new uses or new versions of similar products, for instance, toothpastes that whitened teeth versus cleaning them. That may be the case again, Mr. Shulman said, as even more marketing science and segmentation allow companies to target even smaller market segments.
Of course, the fear of failure is an ever-present deterrent to new product introductions. But Mr. Shulman said to forget failure rates. They're similar across all categories of products; that is, some products will fail.
However, there is a way to take out some of the risk by using a disciplined approach. He advised using a dedicated launch team and budget, focusing on marketing and being patient.
"Whether you're the first or second mover is no longer an issue, and never really was, except in the mind of those flush with money they felt compelled to spend," he said. "I'm sure Steve Jobs and Apple didn't rush the iPod to market."
claims vs. reality
While many companies today claim they are marketing driven, this wasn't evident in the study. In fact, only about 36% said they are driven by customers and marketing research. While it was still the No. 1 agreed-upon driver, sales, product quality and manufacturing expertise garnered significant share.
"That was really surprising. They're still so product and sales driven," Mr. Shulman said.
Markitecture also asked what they thought were the best products of 2004 in several categories culled from media and research "best of" sources. The "Most Admired" products of 2004, as Markitecture dubbed them, were Matsushita DVD recorders, "Atkins-Approved" low-carb products, Oral-B Brush-Ups and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. The DVD recorder honor included customers' choice of TiVo and other DVD recorder boxes which Matsushita, whose main brand is Panasonic, manufactures.

Features | Written by Nick Blackshaw 28/03/2013
Interview: Philip Franks | THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
As part of its 40th anniversary tour, actor Philip Franks is swapping the cosy Sunday night television of The Darling Buds of May and Heartbeat for the late night double feature naughtiness of The Rocky Horror Show playing the Narrator. Starburst caught up with Mr. Franks for a chat about the tour so far and to indulge in his love of horror...
Starburst: So how's the tour been so far?
Philip Franks: It's been great, it really has, especially Glasgow, Glasgow was brilliant.
Prior to your involvement with Rocky Horror, what was your previous experience of the show?
Well I had seen the original stage version, as in the really original version with Tim Curry, I was at school, it was 1973 and me and a couple of school friends went to see it, and the whole experience of it was like the naughtiest thing in the world ever. Then we played the soundtrack album to death and then I kind of forgot about it then, I mean, back then it wasn't what the show is now, it wasn't that interactive thing, it was just a show, but it was just so brilliant. And then the film came along and I saw that like everyone else did, but the show as it is now, which came to life off the back of the film, I hadn't seen, and it came along for me to do because Chris Luscombe I had worked with doing The History Boys, he rang me up and said 'would you fancy doing it?' and I was so scared at the idea because I had never done a musical before, but I thought perhaps being alarmed by something is a very good reason for doing it.
So what preparation did you do for the role of the Narrator?
I've been luckier than most other Narrators in that I had a proper rehearsal period, I had three weeks with the company before the show went out, whereas others are given the book, expected to turn up on the Monday and that's that, and there's nothing more terrifying than that. So I had a proper rehearsal period where I was able to learn the lines and I am in a bit more of it than previous Narrators have been, I'm in a couple more numbers and I think there's some material that has been reinstated, but of course what you can't rehearse is being with the audience, who in some cases, know the play better than you do and they're shouting at you. So when you decide who the Narrator is (because it's not me but it's a character) you just jump in and take whatever they shout at you.
So was there any preparation you felt you could do for the audience participation?
A little bit, we had the assistant director who very politely sat behind a desk in rehearsals and would shout something every so often because there are a certain number of shout-backs that you can predict, but there's some, like with our initial three weeks in Brighton, you have to make up your responses as you go along. So you go along with how an audience is on a particular night. And it varies, for example in Glasgow, there is a very strong dialogue between you and the audience, meanwhile when we were in Grimsby, they hardly shouted anything.
So, moving on then, what do you think has made the show so appealing over the last 40 years?
That's a good question, because the show itself was slung together in about three weeks. I think that it's because it has a kind of honesty to it, it was everything that Richard was interested in. He was a lonely boy from New Zealand who was brought up on this diet of B-Movies, horror and science fiction and that yearning of that lonely boy for a tacky, yet glamorous world was all put together in this melting pot against the backdrop of the sexual revolution of the 1970s and this was what came out of it. And it's got a lot in common with basic British panto and also fairy-tale, with this idea of two innocent kids and a wicked queen; it all appeals to the national psyche. It became one of those moments where eclectic ingredients went together as a new and exciting recipe.
Yeah, and there's that strong element of parody as well.
Yes, it is parody but with absolute love and affection. It is a good hearted show amidst all its horror and sleaziness and 'oh, here come the aliens in fishnets!'
So in a show that does parody horror and sci-fi film, what would you say your favourites were?
I'm a big horror film buff, I must admit that I know more about horror than I do sci-fi, but I do love the Cold War 1950s ones such as The Day The Earth Stood Still, the ones that are in all seriousness but with low production values. But I'm still, like I said, a massive horror buff.
Any particular favourites?
I am still terrified by the original Halloween, it's an absolute classic, more recently I enjoyed Eden Lake very much. I'm really intrigued by the idea that every generation's horror films tell you what you're scared of. So, in America, they're frightened of abroad, whereas in Britain we're frightened by children. So with things like Hostel, American kids are placed in a situation where they can't read their guide books and don't know the language. Whereas over here, we're concerned with feral children that want to kill us. I very much enjoyed the one that was set on the Tube done recently, but I forget the name and I'm very much looking forward to Mama. Have you seen The Bay? That's very good, it's by Barry Levinson, about killer crustaceans, but it absolutely references those 'small town in peril' films from the 1950s and 60s, and is very, very good.
We must admit we're looking forward to the remake of Evil Dead.
Remake? Who's done that then?
It's a new director but Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are both on board as producers.
Wow! I remember being in Canada, a couple of years ago and getting to see Evil Dead the Musical. And when you bought your ticket you were asked very politely if you would like to sit in the 'splatter zone?' and they give you a cagoule to wear and you get totally covered in blood.
So, moving back to Rocky Horror then, I know Charles Gray played your role of the Narrator brilliantly in the film, who would you like to see play the part?
Charles Gray, basically.
So Charles Gray can't be topped?
He was perfect. He had the combination of sinister and witty, which is what the show needs. Of course he references Edgar Lustgarten and Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone. They were good examples because they were silkily funny (in a raised eye-brow sort of way) but also deadly serious. Kevin Spacey would also be wonderful in the role.
We can see Kevin Spacey doing it. One final question: one word to describe your Rocky Horror experience so far?
Thank you very much, Philip, and best wishes for the rest of the tour.
Thank you.

Let's Give Thanks for CO2
As Americans sit down on Thursday and give thanks for the food on their table, hopefully many will say a good word for enhanced atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, as much of the foodstuff filling their plates will have benefited from the anthropogenically-elevated CO2 levels in the air.
And even if we don't produce the food ourselves, we contribute to the growth of crops around the world through emissions of CO2 whenever we use energy derived from fossil fuels—a large component of the energy that we use to power our daily lives.
Renown plant researcher Dr. Sylvan Wittwer put it this way in his enlightening book Food, Climate and Carbon Dioxide:
[T]he effects of an enriched CO2 atmosphere on crop productivity, in large measure, are positive, leaving little doubt as to the benefits for global food security. It is, therefore, inappropriate for public discussion of the issue to focus only on the hypothetical dangers of global warming that might result from higher CO2 levels. It is equally important to stress the known benefits….
…The rising level of atmospheric CO2 is a universally free premium, gaining in magnitude with time, on which we can all reckon for the foreseeable future. Direct effects of increasing CO2 on food production and the output of rangelands and forests may be more important than the effects on climate.
So, as the bowls of veggies are being passed around the dinner table, keep in mind that most, if not all, of what you find before you has benefited from an atmosphere enriched in CO2.
In past issues of World Climate Report, we have highlighted CO2's beneficial effect on many of the items found in your Thanksgiving cornucopia. Here are just a few examples:
Lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots
Peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes
And even spices
And for those wanting a second helping, even more examples of the kinds of positive impacts that CO2 has on food crops and the planets' plant life in general are contained in the pages of the websites CO2Science.org and PlantsNeedCO2.org. We invite you to dig in.
Happy Thanksgiving and bon appetit!

A well made movie about a very dark subject. Spencer Tracy & Burt Lancaster are stellar but the rest seem a little hesitant, hence the rating. The trials were deemed necessary but they went so long that people were tired of them. Unfortunately, this wasn't shown very well in the movie. Those being tried were secondary level criminals so none of the horrific photos were shown.
I missed their context and there is no subtitles or close caption. Spencer Tracy and Burt Lanaster is only one that I can read their lips. I hoped in the future or make new movie be sure it has subtitles.
I come from a small white German sundown town in the mid-west and only upon moving out to go college did I first saw this film and its lessons. These white sundown towns didn't talk about this stuff, the high schools taught their students that slavery was not a cause of the Civil War and that segregation was none of anyone's business in the North. Yeah towns like my hometown spawned anti-Semitism and indifference to racial discrimination. Spend three hours with this film. Some of you may come to realize that the plight of your fellow human beings is your responsibility.
A magnificent movie, entertaining and extremely thought-provoking. The screenplay and cast are brilliant. The film raises so many moral questions, as relevant today as ever. Who bears guilt for a crime against humanity, and who is responsible for preventing the crime? When do we forgive our enemies and make them our allies? How much of the past are we willing to learn, how much truth can we bear? Must we forget the past, or at least some of it, to carry on? This film is timeless.
A timeless movie that was made as an epic masterpiece when it was first released. The subject demands special treatment, and Spencer Tracy gives a great performance as the head trial judge. It brings out all the issues at the time of the trial and gives an honest account of what occurred before and during the trial. This is a movie that will be watched for generations to come!
Probably one of the most insightful movies that I have ever seem. Raises more questions than it answers like most good movies do . The dialogues are amazing , 3 in particular , Burt Lancaster justifying the rise of Nazism , Maximillian Schell implying the world's guilt and Spencer Tracy on the value of a single human life.
A very exciting movie to watch with an all-star cast, good acting and interesting storyline.
Very well done movie. A pleasure to watch. I would recommend this movie for all to see. No fast forwarding on this one. A++ DVD
Dr. Janning makes a statement condemning himself and his fellow defendants for "going along" with the Third Reich.
Stunned at the sudden change of the defendent's attitude, the defence attorney gapes at Dr. Janning when he finishes the statement, then tells the court, "If Dr. Janning is guilty, the whole world is guilty because U.S. Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. supported eugenics practices like The Third Reich, the Vatican supported Hitler by way of Hitler-Vatican Reichskonkordat in 1933, the Soviet supported Hitler with the Nazi-Soviet Pact in 1939 that allowed Hitler to start World War II, and Winston Churchill once praised Adolf Hitler. Furthermore, the U.S. Air forces dropped the atomic bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, killing thousands of innocent citizens, if not a million of them. This is clearly a crime against humanity."
At this point, I say to myself, "Oh yeah! the States killed tens of thousands of innocent Japanese citizens by the atomic bombs as well as incendiary bombs, which is almost like the Holcaust. If the Diary of Anne Frank is the accusation against the Third Reich, the movie "Black Rain" (The Story of Yasuko) is the accusation against the United State.
Since the Cold War has just started, Haywood has to choose between patriotism and justice. He rejects the call to let the Nazi judges off lightly to gain Germany's support in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. He sentences all the defendents to life in prison.
At the end of the movie, Ernst Janning personally thanks Judge Haywood for his rulings, saying that it was the right and just decision.
"But please belive me, Judge Haywood, I didn't know about the Holcaust."
"I know you're innocent as far as the Holcaust is concerned."
Then, why didn't he free the four defendants from the crime as Mrs. Bertholt asked him?
Well, I suppose somebody has to take responsibilty for the crime.
Otherwise human beings wouldn't learn from the mistakes.
Yet, it seems to me that the United States hasn't learned the lesson because the military-industrial complex is producing new weapons called "drones"---unmanned airplanes---that dropped bombs in Afghanistan, creating another Anne Frank as well as Yasuko stories.
Although Ernst Janning thanked Judge Haywood, Mrs. Bertholt didn't.
She never forgave him, she asked him for forgiveness in the first place, though.
This story is simple and straightforward on the surface, yet quite complicated on a personal basis.

There may be times when we feel a situation is beyond our control, when we feel inadequate to deal with a problem. I have heard mothers say, referring to their small children who had been ill, ''I just felt so helpless.'' But a mother will be free of such a feeling when she remembers that wherever she is, at whatever hour, the law of God is immediately available. Then the feeling of helplessness will be replaced by a confident sense of peace, an awareness of God's presence with us, cherishing, guiding, caring.
God's law is an ever-present light that dispels the darkness of fear and disease. Divine law is always available, always in operation. We need only turn to it and claim its efficacy by recognizing our unity with God as His spiritual image, made in His likeness. We read in Proverbs, ''For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light.'' n1 This passage indicates the importance of understanding God's law. In the Bible His law and its healing application are revealed in the lives and teachings of the Israelite prophets and, most significantly, of Christ Jesus and his early followers.
n1 Proverbs 6:23.
The first commandment, ''Thou shalt have no other gods before me,'' n2 points to the basic spiritual truth of one God, of His allness and goodness. This truth is law, and obedience to it shows the illusiveness and powerlessness of evil, of discord and disease. Each commandment in its spiritual significance has a healing impact as well as being a foundational moral guide, anchored in divine law.
n2 Exodus 20:3.
It wasn't until recently that I began to appreciate the healing law contained in the Ten Commandments. I started to see beyond the traditional stern sense of these commands to the spiritual reality underlying them.
Late one evening my young daughter complained of irritation, and we found her body was covered with a rash. There was a moment of panic, but this was quickly replaced by an awareness of God; and the certainty of His ever-presence brought calmness and confidence. I was surprised that while I was thinking quietly about God's law controlling and governing, the child asked that we read together the Ten Commandments.
We found helpful a pamphlet on the Commandments put out by The Christian Science Publishing Society especially for children. We read through the pamphlet , discovering and discussing that we need accept and experience only what is good, what comes from God. It became clear to us that in truth each one of us is the child of God and therefore good and perfect. By obeying the Commandments we can progressively demonstrate this perfection.
We became so interested in discovering how to obey God's law, and in finding out more about His perfect, spiritual creation, that the rash was forgotten and no mention made of any irritation. My daughter settled back to sleep, and in the morning her body was clear. I realized the healing had occurred when the sense of fear, uncertainty, and irritation had been replaced by a perception of the clear, unassailable facts of spiritual law; by a realization of the present perfection of God and man; and by our willingness to accept and obey divine law.
That healing taught me a great deal about the immediacy and clarity of God's law. His law can be demonstrated at any time, anywhere. It is not subject to material restrictions or limitations. It's like a light shining all the time; our job is to open our thought to this light. Then we experience the indescribable feeling of Immanuel, or ''God with us.''
Describing her discovery of the divine laws and Principle of healing, which she names Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy writes, ''This apodictical Principle points to the revelation of Immanuel, 'God with us,' - the sovereign ever-presence, delivering the children of men from every ill 'that flesh is heir to.' '' n3
n3 Science and Health with the Key to the Scriptures, p. 107.
The fact of God's allness and ever-presence means we are never really alone in any situation. It is our joy and privilege to demonstrate His law and prove that God ism with us. DAILY BIBLE VERSE I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delight. Psalms 119:174

As unfortunate as it can be when homeowners fall behind on mortgage payments and must face the possibility of losing their homes, short sales and foreclosures provide them options for moving on financially. The terms are often used interchangeably, but they're actually quite different, with varying timelines and financial impact on the homeowner. Here's a brief overview.
A short sale comes into play when a homeowner needs to sell their home but the home is worth less than the remaining balance that they owe. The lender can allow the homeowner to sell the home for less than the amount owed, freeing the homeowner from the financial predicament.
On the buyer side, short sales typically take three to four months to complete and many of the closing and repair costs are shifted from the seller to the lender.
On the other hand, a foreclosure occurs when a homeowner can no longer make payments on their home so the bank begins the process of repossessing it. A foreclosure usually moves much faster than a short sale and is more financially damaging to the homeowner.
After foreclosure the bank can sell the home in a foreclosure auction. For buyers, foreclosures are riskier than short sales, because homes are often bought sight unseen, with no inspection or warranty.

Two and a half years after launching its Trustworthy Computing Initiative, Microsoft is finding its products the target of escalating attacks, to the extent that some security experts are even warning that the company's Internet Explorer browser is simply not safe to use.
While the company has been trying to take these slings and arrows in its stride, claiming they are an unfortunate side effect of being a market leader and that it's doing all it can to defend itself, users seem to be looking for reassurance that Trustworthy Computing will pay off, and soon.
"They've launched this Trustworthy Computing campaign and they are still issuing all these patches. They shouldn't make things so complex. When is it going to get better?" asked software developer Michael Kranawetter. He was interviewed on the floor of last week's Tech Ed conference in Amsterdam where some 6,000 software developers and IT professionals gathered to hear the latest in Microsoft development news.
To be fair, Microsoft has been working hard to streamline its patching process, by releasing combined fixes when possible and delivering them on a monthly release schedule. It is also providing a free patching service and a centralised place for users to find fixes.
Besides improved patching, it is also moving to bolster the security of its desktop software by turning off potential ports of attack and adding security features such as a default-enabled firewall, to help users protect their PCs.
Many new security improvements are due to be delivered with the much anticipated Windows XP Service Pack 2, an update to the Windows XP operating system, which is so jam-packed with fixes and features that installing it is said to be like a installing a whole new OS.
Microsoft executives have promised to deliver SP2 by "the end of summer" although Microsoft executive Detlef Eckert said at Tech Ed last week that "summer ends in September this year."
"We have now realised, to some extent, painfully, that the security atmosphere has changed, which is why we are putting so much effort into Service Pack 2," Eckert said. "Most of these new features would have blocked against recent attacks."
The company learned a great deal from threats such as the Sasser worm, he added, which wreaked havoc earlier this year by exploiting a disclosed hole in a component in Windows.
"We know we need to move ahead of the attack cycle and mitigate against specific attacks against applications," he said.
But while the company has been working to address users' security woes, it continues to come under attack from virus writers who clearly have a few tricks up their sleeves.
One of the latest attacks used websites running Internet Information Server (IIS) to launch malicious computer code. The attack prompted Microsoft to release updates to its Windows 2000, XP and Windows Server 2003 software last week to help users fend off the attacks.
The company also said last week that it is planning to release a number of updates in coming weeks to shore up the security of IE.
The company's IE browser seems to have become target number one for virus writers. In one of the latest attacks against it hackers took advantage of a browser extension functionality to steal login information from banking sites.
Numerous vulnerabilities in IE, which holds over 95 percent of the browser market, have even prompted some security experts to warn against using the product all together, suggesting that users switch to options such as Opera, Netscape, or Mozilla.
"It's safe to say that IE is not safe to use," says Mikko Hypp"nen, director of antivirus research at Helsinki antivirus company F-Secure. "I don't use it and I know of companies that have banned it all together," he says.
The US Computer Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT, also recently suggested that users reduce exposure to IE vulnerabilities by using a different browser.
With future attacks against Microsoft seemingly imminent, it looks as though many who rely on the company's technology may have to take recent security progress such as advances in SP2 and quickly-released patches for new vulnerabilities as a sign that Trustworthy Computing is paying off. Besides, experts point out that if anyone has a vested interest in keeping users safe and happy with Microsoft products, it's Microsoft.
"They are not fighting a losing battle," Hypp"nen says, "And I like the fact that they are fighting it."

Yesterday's New York Times featured a sad but important op-ed piece by David Elkind, author of the books The Hurried Child and The Power of Play, among others, about the newest threats to childhood and play being imposed on our already over-scheduled children.
New York Times: "Playtime is Over" by David Elkind
He states that many schools are now employing "recess coaches" to oversee children's play time. (Yes, you read that right. Recess coaches!) The traditional culture of childhood is quickly disappearing. I urge you to read this article, then visit The Alliance for Childhood's website to learn what this organization is doing to protect childhood in the world, and to preserve a child's freedom to play.

Saying thanks is one of the best things we can do to appreciate the good things in our lives. This goes for our partners, friends, families, coworkers, acquaintances, and for some of us, our dear readers. (Thank you all!) There are many musicians who've said thanks over the years, too, and so here's Led Zeppelin's version of Thank You from the BBC sessions.
Well, there's something we can all do to help that takes almost no effort and helps you improve your skills. I present to you FreeRice.
Basically, you go to freerice.com, you pick what subject you want to learn (and the list includes Math, Chemistry, Geography, Art, and vocabulary in English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish), and it starts asking you multiple choice questions. Each answer you get right donates 10 grains of rice through the UN World Food Programme. There's no penalty for wrong answers, and the more you play, the more food gets donated.
There is a bunch to explore on the site and a myriad of neat things to try, so I hope you enjoy it! So far, since the site started in October of 2007, they have donated 71 billion grains of rice, or well over one million tonnes of uncooked rice. Need to take a five-minute break at work? Try checking out freerice, and help give complete strangers something to be thankful for!

Longevity would be nice, right? Living longer and being super healthy to really enjoy that long life.
Today's Zestology podcast guest Daniel Reid knows all about how to do this. He's a bestselling author on the ancient practices of Taoism, with his book The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity.
I loved this book, so I got in touch with Dan in Byron Bay, Australia and he stayed up late to come on Zestology. He's a colourful character with a huge amount of knowledge, and he's lived a full and fascinating life, as you'll hear.
I asked him to pick 5 rules for living a long and healthy life.
Follow these 5 rules and as you'll hear you might live to the age of 243.*
We focus in on these areas.
- De-stressing

- Sitting still and doing nothing.

With OneCause, you can process payments at any time during or after your event. Processing during the event is called "live payment processing."
For details on how to batch process credit card payments, check out this article.
Please click the links below to jump to sections:
When to Process Payments Live
How to Process Payments Live
Best Practices
Handling Rejected Payments
Live payment processing is most useful at events where:
- Your guests are not well known to you and could be difficult to track down for payments post-event.
- You have a lot of high-ticket items and you don't want them to leave the event until payment is secured.
- Everyone is required to swipe a credit card at Registration.
Live payment processing is less necessary at events where:
- Your guests are your parishioners or parents and would be easy to contact post-event for payment issues.
- Many guests pay by check or multiple credit cards, or need to change payment methods.
- Not everything is done through OneCause and you will be importing additional charges later.
Processing payments onsite follows the same steps as batch processing them post event. If you do plan to process them onsite, however, you'll need to have a plan to handle rejected cards and corrections:
- OneCause staff do not have access to process your payments, so someone on your team who has access to Planner will need to run the cards.
- That team member should stay logged into Planner at your checkout desk to help with questions. If a guest's payment is rejected, they will want to know why. iATS Rejection Codes are visible in Planner, and you can find a full list of rejection codes here.
- The team member should be comfortable discussing rejected cards and alternate payments with guests; ideally, someone from your finance team or staff should play this role.
- Alternate payments can be entered into Planner or through Checkout mode of SmartPay.
- If a guest did not want their card to be processed, you can refund that payment in their Supporter record in Planner, and then collect & record an alternate form of payment. Let the guest know that refunds typically take 3-5 business days to post to their card.
- If you are using live payment processing, you should process payments before Item Pickup begins.
- Don't run cards the moment the silent auction ends; instead, give guests some time to go to Checkout and change their payment method.
- While you are able to run separate batches of payments after your silent auction, after your donation appeal, and after your live auction, guests may not appreciate having multiple charges on their cards. Wait to process payments just before Pickup opens to ensure most guests will only see a single charge.
- If a guest's card is rejected, they may want to know the reason. Rejection codes are visible in Planner by clicking on the rejected transaction under Payments > Manage Payments > Rejected Transactions.
- You can find a full list of rejection codes here for your reference.
- Guests with rejected cards may be confused as to why the card rejected; we've found it's best to avoid discussions about their finances or card status at the event, and to instead simply see if they have an alternate form of payment available.

There are DOGS WITH BLEEDING EARS!!!!!!!!!! CALL PETA!!!!!!!
Simon was mean but never taunted the contestants.
That was just mean.
I disliked Endora going into this.
I now despise her.
Next up...Anorexic Oriental Fairy
One Hung Low didn't have the chops to sing phantom......
Help me out with this.....just exactly how does a black chick from the hood put on an ugly arse wig and suddenly become able to speek with a British accent???? Hell, even Paula didnt take enough drugs to do that!
>>And he is singing FAN TAN OB DA OPLA<<
I FINALLY get a translation for "Gangnam Style"
I love this gal with the hearing loss. She's great!
what's to come?
The Mr. just came bounding up the stairs to announce "I just don't think I can take that Nicki Minaj for an entire season. What IS she??"
Just then she broke into her British accent, and he looked at me in horror, "You realize she is like the main character now, don't you? DON'T YOU??"
I think it's starting to sink in...,
I think there have been more commercials than contestants tonight....
Yeah,....and given some of the auditions...hearing loss may benefit those of us in the audience!
Screw with your husbands head....tell him if he watches her to much, he may see a plastic pelvic thrust in his nightmares....and it wont be pretty ;-)
YOU rock! So happy to see you!
The STDs are sitting at the judging table.
By "old judges" I meant Steven and J-Lo. See, you've already forgotten them :)
>>Screw with your husbands head....tell him if he watches her to much, he may see a plastic pelvic thrust in his nightmares....and it wont be pretty ;-)<<
Rose tint my world and keep me safe from my troubles and pain...
Steve Tyler looks like a deflated J-lo LOL
Maybe with two Black Judges they have to decided to forgo the slew of unwed mothers and are trying for empowerment.
LOL @ the fake dream sequence. Well done, Idol.
>>The STDs are sitting at the judging table.<<
Shelayne shoots and SCORES!

Payment Methods cash,credit-cards
The Craic House is the best bar on Malapascua, no ifs, buts or maybes. It's an Irish pub on a Filipino beach, or a Filipino pub with warm Irish hospitality and a Celtic commitment to fun and frivolity. You choose.
Our goal is simple but almost unique in The Philippines – we want to provide a contemporary feel by ensuring progressive music, progressive food and cold, cold drinks are always available and affordable. Just because those Thresher dives can be a bit on the early side it doesn't mean you should turn your back on one or two nights of food, music, conversation and fun at The Craic House.
We play the best music anywhere for miles and our 10,000+ song selection has something for every mood. We are currently the only bar in The Philippines that believes Gangnam is out of style, and the current top 40 hits are not fit for human consumption. By the time you reach us, you'll know what we're talking about. We'll help create the soundtrack for your holiday and if we're not getting it quite right just make a request with our friendly bar staff.
Most importantly The Craic House has gained a solid reputation for its service orientated philosophy and tasty original food. Our guests continue to rate us in high regard on trip advisor and we constantly strive to innovate and keep up with the ever changing trends and dietary needs of the current global traveler.
We refuse to have 150 dishes on our menu and we refuse to bend our identity, we are THE pub on Malapascua. At the Craic House you will find a smaller pub inspired menu and an ever changing specials board with a local ingredient flair. Using only the freshest local produce and the best imported ingredients available, you will find our menu to be familiar yet miles away. Put your trust in us and we will reward your taste buds.
To get your mouth watering, here are some dishes we serve on our menu or special board, many never before served in this country.
