I recently encountered a series of youtube videos which claimed to find errors in the logic and algebra underpinning Keynesian economics.
Excuse me for being sceptical, but I think its strange that it has taken 75 yrs to find these flaws. Surely if they existed, it would be well known by now? Below is a link to one of these videos. Has the author found a previously unknown flaw? Or is this well-known? Or has the author, in fact, got it completely wrong?

But I didn't get it wrong.
Keynes though, worked hard to get it wrong. He took a simple math problem, converted it into a complicated word problem, and messed it up. The question is whether it was fraud to promote socialism, or incompetence.
Keynes said income Y, equals consumption C, plus investment I. Say that Y = 10, C = 9, I = 1.
10 = 9 + 1
Add a $1 increment to I:
The added increment doesn't get multiplied as he said it would.
From Y = C + I, you can derive Y = k I, where k = 1/(1-b) = Y/I, Keynes' "multiplier".
But if you try to add $1 to I in Y = kI
Y = kI + $1
you can't do it, because multiplication comes before addtion.
Y = 10 x 1 + 1 = 11, the same as with Y = C + I + $1
Yet Keynes said that 10 x 1 + 1 = 20
It's 3 Stooges math.
Just how he got away with 3 Stooges math is very interesting.
But basically, Keynes' "multiplier" is not a multiplier. It's a ratio.
And "multiplying" an added increment of spending, involves illegally putting addition before multiplication in the order of operation.
Also, the marginal propensity to consume determines how income is allocated to spending, but is irrelevant to the effect of spending on income. And Keynes' "multiplier" is supposed to tell us the effect of spending on income and employment.
I have more about this in:
But if you try to add $1 to I in Y = kI
Y = kI + $1
Let's increase m by 1 kg.
But if you try to add 1kg to m in F=ma
F = ma + 1
And that's where you go wrong. If you increase m by one, the new formula is F = (m + 1) *a
Which, in turn, distributes.
Am I misunderstanding you?
The difference is that F = ma is a "stand-alone" equation, Y = kI isn't. You can't use Y = kI by itself without falling for Keynes' deception.
Y = kI is derived from Y = C + I, so Y = kI and Y = C + I must give the same answer when you do something to them. And Y = C + I is the "primary" equation. If you want to find the real result, go to the "primary" equation.
Y = kI, k = Y/I
10 = 10 x 1
Y = 10 x 1 + 1 = 11, not 20
To get 20, you have to put additition before multiplication, and that's illegal.
Take a look at parts 1 and 2 of Fiscal Multiplier Debunked at http://tugwit.blogspot.com/
Let's assume for the moment that the math doesn't work out. From the logical perspective, however, it makes sense. One round of spending triggers others down the line. This doesn't mean that private spending doesn't do the same, or, that even if it didn't, we should actually use governement fiscal multipliers, but still - spending does lead to spending given a certain propensity to consume.
Assume the math doesn't work? It's Three Stooges math. Illegal addition before multiplication. It absolutely doesn't work.
And look at Pt 2 Fiscal Multiplier Debunked on http://tugwit.blogspot.com/
The "multipliers" for net tax, tax cuts, balanced budget, and proportional tax are all bullshit. Keynesian fraud or incompetence.
So our central planning morons in DC are basing fiscal policy on Keynesian fraud or incompetence.
And the result is $16 TRILLION of national debt ... that the "multiplier" was suppose to pay for. From tax and government spending we're supposed to get free national income that we would not otherwise get. The "multiplier" is their excuse for spending and wasting money like clueless morons.
And the result is a disaster.
Yes, I spend $1 and it gets spent again and again. And if the morons tax it from me and spend it there's no gain whatsoever. But Keynesians claim that there is not only a gain, but a "multiplied" gain. That the morons are heroes and I'm a villain.
And people will waste any amount of other people's money, and tax is other people's money. So the morons waste it, as you can see every day in the news.
The fiscal "multiplier" is a scam, promising multiplied free lunch, in exchange for letting politicians waste our money.
From tax and government spending we're supposed to get free national income that we would not otherwise get
From tax and government spending we're supposed to get free national income that we would not otherwise get
Well, not quite. As I remember being taught in my AP Macro class, the government multiplier most times crowds out the private multiplier. What this means is that economists know that government spending during times of a "healthy" economy do not create a multiplier effect.
The Keynesian balanced budget "multiplier" says that if government spending and tax are each increased $1, we get a free $1 increase in national income that we would not otherwise get. There's no restriction on whether the economy is good or bad. And it's nonsense.
There is no Keynesian fiscal multiplier, government or private, good times or bad. It's mathematical nonsense.
we get a free $1 increase in national income that we would not otherwise get
we get a free $1 increase in national income that we would not otherwise get
I don't think they claim that. At least my econ class was taught that the private sector has its own multiplier.
They do claim that. Look up the balanced budget multiplier.
Regardless of what your econ class was taught, the Keynesian fiscal multiplier is nonsense. There isn't one for government or private spending. Keynes invented something that doesn't exist. It's Three Stooges math.
I have been replacing some of the videos with shorter simpler versions. These 5 pretty much sum up the scam. They are less than 5 minutes each.
Have you tried to contact any "official" economists with this? Try, for example, Bryan Caplan. He's very accessible both on Twitter and by email.
I think economists must have a mafia with "omerta", and "never speak ill of another economist", or this Keynesian "multiplier" nonsense would have been gone long ago. But I see that the guy is interested in irrationality, so I'll send him an e-mail. Thanks.
There's definitely a lot wrong with the Keynesian model, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the math itself within the model. The problem with your logic is that, in the model, output and income are the same. When Y is increased, either by increasing G or I, it is also increased in the consumption equation (C=mpc(Y-T)). As consumption goes up, output goes up even more than the original input, which causes income to increase again, increasing consumption even more, and so on. Whether this works in practice, in the real world, is definitely up for debate, but within the Keynesian model itself, there is no debate.

Ship Weight:0.48 Dosage:1 Cookie(s) Flavor:Chocolate Kinnikinnick Foods - KinniToos Cookies Sandwich Creme Chocolate - 8 oz.Kinnikinnick Foods KinniToos Cookies Sandwich Creme Chocolate is here to rival the former all-time favorite after school snack and is Gluten/Casein/Trans Fat free. Kinnikinnick Foods KinniToos Cookies Sandwich Creme Chocolate is a special treat that will definitely bring a smile to the face of any child dealing with dietary restrictions. No one will know Kinnikinnick Foods KinniToos Cookies Sandwich Creme Chocolate is gluten-free! Grab a cold Glass of Milk...or Soy Milk...Or Potato Milk...or Almond Milk and decide. Will you eat the center first? Just how soft are the new Soft Breads & Buns after Freezing?How soft is your current bread after 7 months in the freezer? Kinnikinnick Foods said their new breads and buns remain soft after freezing and thawing. Now you can see for yourself. FAQ Ingredients What Is Maltodextrin? Maltodextrin is made from corn. Maltodextrins are easily digestible carbohydrates made from natural corn starch. The starch is cooked, and then acid and/or enzymes are used to break the starch into smaller polymers (a process similar to that used by the body to digest carbohydrate). Generally sold as dried powders. Are polymers of dextrose (sometimes labeled "glucose polymers"). Do not contain significant quantities of protein, fat or fiber. Corn-based maltodextrins are not produced from and do not contain malt products. Corn-based maltodextrins are safe for patients with celiac disease since they do not contain proteins from wheat, barley, oats or rye. Maltodextrins are not known to contain MSG. Diabetics should follow the advice of their physicians. Maltodextrin's glycemic index should be considered metabolically equivalent to glucose (dextrose).What Is Inulin?Inulin, which is most commonly made from chicory, is a soluble fiber. Inulin is naturally occurring in many common fruits and vegetable including Asparagus, Banana, Chicory, Garlic, Leek, Jerusalem Artichoke and Onions. Inulin has been clinically shown to have many health benefits. It helps Calcium Absorption It is prebiotic and Helps maintain Intestinal health It helps regulate Triglycerides, Glucose and Insulin response in Diabetics (and Celiac Diabetics) Experimental studies have shown their use as bifidogenic agents, stimulating the immune system of the body, decreasing the pathogenic bacteria in the intestine, relieving constipation, decreasing the risk of osteoporosis by increasing mineral absorption, especially of calcium, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis by lowering the synthesis of triglycerides and fatty acids in the liver and decreasing their level in serum. These fructans modulate the hormonal level of insulin and glucagon, thereby regulating carbohydrate and lipid metabolism by lowering the blood glucose levels; they are also effective in lowering the blood urea and uric acid levels, thereby maintaining the nitrogen balance. Inulin and oligofructose also reduce the incidence of colon cancer. Are there issues with Inulin? Of course, just as there are issues with every single ingredient they use. People can be allergic or intolerant to almost anything. "Generally, oligosaccharides are well tolerated. Some people reported increased flatulence in some of the studies. At higher levels of intake, that is, in excess of 40 grams per day, FOS and the other oligosaccharides may induce diarrhea." At lower doses, research shows that inulin may in fact help alleviate diarrhea. People may experience bloating and increased flatulence if their diets are naturally low in Inulin (ie: you don't eat Asparagus, Banana, Chicory, Garlic, Leek, Jerusalem Artichoke and Onions). This may also occur if their intestinal levels of bifidobacteria are low. The gas production is actually a natural result of the growth of these healthy bacteria promoted by the Inulin and subsides once a healthy balance is achieved in the gut. There have only been 2 cases of people worldwide who had anaphylactic reactions to inulin in products (these were not our products). People with severe allergies to Asparagus, Banana, Chicory, Garlic, Leek, Jerusalem Artichoke and Onions should probably avoid products with inulin, although this should be verified with your doctor.What is Kinnikinnick Foods' sugar source?Their sugar may be beet or cane depending on crop availability. Because of supplier seasonal shortages, they can not guarantee which source they may be using at a specific time.Why Don't They Use Stevia As A Sweetener?It is currently illegal in Canada and the US to use Stevia in baked products.Do Their Products Contain Preservatives?Their products do not contain preservatives. Note: Their seasonaloducts which contain dried fruit (Hot Cross Buns, Fruit Cake, Festive Bread) DO have a preservative. The fruit mixture contains Potassium Sorbate. They continue to look for a verifiable Gluten free dried fruit mixture that does not contain preservatives.Can You Tell Me What Ingredient X Is?Kinnikinnick Foods has developed an Ingredient Primer to help you understand what the ingredients they use are, what their source is and why they use them. They've also added some of the more common GF and CF ingredients that they don't use but which you may run across in the grocery aisle.Does Kinnikinnick Foods' baking powder contain aluminum or corn?KinnActive Baking Powder is a double acting baking powder that is aluminum and corn free.Does Kinnikinnick Foods' salt contain Iodine?No. Their salt is pure Sodium Chloride with no additives.Does Kinnikinnick Foods' Sugar Come From Genetically Modified Sources?Both their Beet and Cane sugars are certified non-GMO by their supplier. Products Are Their Products Kosher?Yes. Kinnikinnick Foods facilities, and an extensive list of products, are certified OU kosher pareve by the Orthodox Union.Which Of Kinnikinnick Foods' Products Are Fortified?Currently their breads and buns are fortified. They are fortifying with Thiamine, Vitamin B2, Niacin, Folic Acid and Iron.How Should I Store Their Products?All of their soft baked products contain no preservatives and should be kept frozen until use. Cookies, mixes and raw ingredients do not need to be frozen. Store in a sealed container in a dry location.Do They Carry Gluten Free Oats?Most oats available in North America are NOT acceptable as they are contaminated with other gluten containing grains. Some studies have shown that some people may be able to tolerate Pure Uncontaminated Oats. Kinnikinnick Foods believes more studies are necessary to ensure the long term effects of oats in a Celiac Diet and have made the decision not to carry them at this time.Will The Bread Mix Produce The Same Results As Their Baked Bread?Their Bread Mixes are formulated for home use and are different that the mixes they use for their pre-baked bread and buns. Their pre-baked products require special equipment and processing techniques which are not suitable for home use.Can Kinnikinnick Foods' Mixes Be Used In A Bread Machine?None of their mixes are formulated for use in a bread machine. You may have some success using a machine with a Programmable cycle. Use a Quick bread cycle or program to not let mixture rest.What Is The Shelf Life Of Their Products? For best quality use before: Frozen Goods - 8 months Cookies - 1 year Mixes - 1 year (minimum) Why Don't They Have More Soy Free Products?When Kinnikinnick Foods made the decision to remove dairy from most of their products, the most widely available replacement for dairy ingredients are soy based. Once they made the switch they began to get more call from customers that soy was a problem. Over the past few years they have been working hard at the removal of soy from their products. They did remove soy from many of our products in 2004. About half of their products are currently soy free. However, there are physical properties which soy provides which have not yet been duplicated by industry and removing it greatly affects product quality. They are constantly evaluating new ingredients and technologies and they will remove soy when they can use another ingredient without compromising quality.Why Don't They Use Other Grains Like Teff? There are two reasons they have not started offering other grains like Teff and Amaranth: Supply: These grains are not available in large enough quantities or can not be assured of a stable supply. Purity: Many of these grains can not be guaranteed GF as they are often milled on contaminated mills. Are Their Products Organic?Kinnikinnick Foods is unable to offer organic products for several reasons. Many of the specialized ingredients they use are simply not available as organic. Most mills grinding organic flours also grind non-GF grains, making them not suitable for GF use. Organic ingredients (even if they were available) would add a substantial cost to an already high cost product. They do make every effort to provide customers with the healthiest available food choices but our highest priority is to produce a truly GF product. Gluten Free Answers What Are Their Gluten Free Standards?Every product they produce is gluten free. All of their products are produced in their two dedicated Gluten Free facilities. All their ingredient suppliers are required to provide gluten free statements. All ingredients are tested using various gluten testing protocols in their lab by their food scientist. All products are randomly tested by the CFIA (Canadian equivalent of the FDA) as gluten free is a regulated term in Canada. They do not outsource any manufacturing so they maintain control of all processes at all times. Kinnikinnick Foods believes they take the most precautions of any company in the world to ensure their products are gluten free.Where Do They Get Their Gluten Free Ingredients?A key job at Kinnikinnick is held by their purchasing department. They track down GF ingredients, arrange for gluten statements from the supplier, bring in samples of new ingredients for testing in their lab and monitor any change notices from suppliers ensuring their supply chain is truly GF.Do They Test For Gluten?Every product they produce is gluten free. All new ingredients are tested using the High Sensitivity ELISA Gluten Test (HSEGT) in their lab by their food scientist. All major ingredients tested at each new shipment using the HSEGT in our lab. Minor ingredients are randomly tested using the HSEGT in their lab. All of their ingredients are spot checked using the Gluten rapid test kits. Products are randomly tested by the CFIA (Canadian equivalent of the FDA) as gluten free is a regulated term in Canada.What Does Kinnikinnick Foods Lab Do?In the Fall of 2006, Kinnikinnick opened it's new Quality Assurance Lab. This 800 sqft facility is located in the largest of their 2 facilities. This lab is tasked with providing complete product quality assurance. The lab tests for gluten and other allergens and pathogens. All arriving ingredients used in their products are tested for gluten in this lab based on several criteria which they have developed. It also monitors and controls product quality in terms of color, moisture content, texture several other quality points.What Is Gluten?Gluten is a sticky, long chain protein molecule that is found in many grains including Wheat, Barley, Rye, Kamut, Spelt and Oats. Gluten can be toxic to people with Celiac Disease. Gluten in wheat flour helps bread and other baked goods stick together and prevent crumbling. Gluten is used in many processed and packaged foods.What About Corn and Rice Gluten?Defining gluten can be somewhat confusing as it has become the generic term for a protein found in wheat, rye, triticale, spelt, kamut, barley, and oats. In fact, it is the portion of gluten molecule called the prolamins which is toxic for celiacs. The prolamins are gliadin in wheat, secalin in rye, horedin in barley and evedin in oats. Confusion arises when the word gluten is used in conjunction with corn or rice (corn gluten, glutinous rice). Technically speaking corn and rice do have a form of gluten but they do not have the toxic portion and are acceptable on a gluten free diet.What Are Gluten Free Grains? The following Grains and Starches are acceptable on a GF Diet: Tapioca (Cassava, yucca, manioc) Rice (brown, white, sweet) Potato Pea Corn Soy Amaranth Teff Quinoa Legume Flours (lentil, chickpea) Buckwheat Sorghum (milo) Do Seeds Contain Gluten?Seeds such as sesame, sunflower, poppy, caraway and flax are acceptable on a GF diet. Casein Free Answers What Is Casein?Milk from all mammals is made up of lactose (milk sugar), proteins, and fats. Casein is a protein found in all kinds of milk (cow, goat, human etc). Casein is the main component of cheese. Note: Casein can sometimes be found in products labeled non-dairy in the form of sodium caseinate.Are All Of Kinnikinnick Foods' Products Casein Free?Almost all of their products are casein free. The following are NOT Casein Free: Tapioca Rice Cheese Bread Fruit Cake (seasonal) Chocolate Covered Almond Biscotti KinniBetik Chocolate Chunk Cookies Kinniki-What???Before starting Kinnikinnick Foods, the founder of the company, Ted Wolf von Selzam was involved in environmental education and teaching programs. In teaching school groups about local flora and fauna, Ted found the story students remembered from year to year was the Kinnikinnick Story. Historically, Kinnikinnick or Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva ursi) has been an important plant for both wildlife and humans alike. The berries from this ground hugging bush last through winter when other fruits are gone and are especially important to black bears in the early spring when food is scarce. Native Americans used the leaves alone or with tobacco and other herbs. When it was mixed with tobacco, it was referred to as Kinnikinnick, from the Algonquin for mixture. When smoked in a sacred pipe, it is reputed to carry the smoker's prayers to the Great Spirit. A tea made from the leaves was used to treat urinary tract diseases, the leaves were powdered and applied to sores and the berries were made into a tea that was used to ward off obesity. The berries, which are very nutritious and high in vitamin C, were used during the winter months as an important supplement to their diet. They were fried or dried and used in pemmican. In searching for a name for a new business a number of objectives stand out. It should distinguish the company from other companies and be recognizable as different from the ordinary. It should be easy to remember (although not necessarily easy to spell). It should cause people to stop and think and to generate questions about the company. People are always inquiring about the origin of the name and this helps to strengthen our name and brand recognition. It should also have a symbolic meaning. The staples, like bread, are the leaves of the bush. The treats, like donuts, cookies, bagels and muffins, are the berries of the bush. And finally, the roots are the medicinal value since for the first time in their lives many of our clients have a variety of food that they know will contribute to their improved health. Kinnikinnick provides them with nutritious foods after their long cold winters of misdiagnosis and unsafe foods. Kinnikinnick Foods' MissionTo provide Celiacs, people with Autism and other people with special dietary requirements with an uncontaminated, risk free source of food products. Their commitment to their customers is to have the best and safest gluten free product in the market. At the same time they want to provide a range and selection of bakery items that anyone would enjoy. Our products continue to improve they will find recognition as tasty alternative foods and will much more readily available. They also keep their focus on nutritional and food values so that they can provide the healthiest food possible. Their lab and test kitchen facilities continue to strive to make the best products in the market so that they can continue to say Gluten Free Has Never Tasted So Good. History Of Kinnikinnick FoodsBack in the late 1980's, Ted Wolff Von Selzam was looking for a new career. He had spent some time in Germany working for a natural health co-op and had some experience in this emerging market. He began making bakery products for the Farmer's Market in Edmonton and one day someone asked him if he could make "gluten free" items. Ted then proceeded to make some of the worst gluten free products ever made (which is saying something). Ted had little baking experience, but we've often said that when developing GF recipes, not knowing how "it's supposed to work" can be a benefit. Ted persevered and began to make products for a growing number of clients at the Market. Soon after, he opened a 500 square foot store and brought in GF products such as cookies, and pasta's which he sold along with his baked goods. Ted continued to expand this business and to develop new breads, buns and cookies as part of the plan. By 1996, Kinnikinnick Foods was supplying the Edmonton market along with a small regional market in B.C and Saskatchewan. By then, Ted had developed some of the best tasting GF foods available and one of his regular customers was Jerry Bigam, whose wife, Lynne, was Celiac. The Bigams bought into the company in 1997 with the idea that they could make some of these products available to a much wider audience. By then Kinnikinnick had a retail store and a small production space of about 3,000 square feet. One of the first decisions to be made was on the name. Should they look for a more sophisticated name since they were looking at expanding the market? And then in a flash it came to them - "People might not be able to pronounce it or spell it but they will remember it". Also the "Kinnikinnick Story" is kind of neat for a specialty health food company (see Kinniki-what???). Today with dozens of new entrants to the market with … GlutenFree-this and GlutenFree-that … there is still only one Kinnikinnick and people still can't spell it but they somehow remember it and find them. Shortly after joining Kinnikinnick in 1997, Jay Bigam (son) suggested that there might be something to this new "internet' business that would allow us to make the company much better known. As they say the "rest is history". Kinnikinnick developed the first GF internet site and became one of the very first companies in the world to supply perishable food products using the internet. The company understood that you needed to have a reliable distribution system to support the internet business and over the next two years developed the shipping systems necessary. They survived the "dot.com" crash which saw many internet companies fail when they did not have the "bricks and mortar" necessary to support market demand. The internet wasn't a business for them, it was a tool. However, the internet was an invaluable tool for a growing company. Comments appeared on the internet saying how good the Kinnikinnick products were. All of a sudden, there were hundreds of people across North America who became their best sales people. They went into stores and told the managers how good the products were. Or they popped up on the web with their comments about new products or just how pleased they were to get decent GF food. At that time good quality, readily available GF food was the exception. Their internet site and over night delivery throughout North America meant that anyone could enjoy Kinnikinnick food. The only problem they had was the orders from the rest of the world that we could not supply. The increasing popularity of Kinnikinnick products required a move to a new 10,000 square foot facility in 1998. New products continued to be added and their internet business grew dramatically. They expanded again in 2001 to 15,000 square feet and added new types of products like bagels, pizza crusts and donuts. By 2002 they were out of space again so moved to a new location with 30,000 square feet and "plenty of room" for future expansion. Lynne (wife) left her legal practice and joined the company and Jay was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By this time, their many internet customers were spreading the word and we supplied many of the Canadian retail store chains and were providing more and more products to US health food stores. One day they got a call from a large US food distributor who said that "your products are the most requested that we don't carry - how do we get you into our system". Again thanks to our internet customers who made retail stores aware of their products. It isn't known how many calls they got from store managers who said that they had an empty bag that a customer had dropped off asking him to carry Kinnikinnick products. Clearly consumers had considerable influence. About this time, Ted decided that having grown the company from 6 employees in 1997 to around 70, that he wanted to look at other career and family options. As a result their family acquired all of Kinnikinnick in early 2005. By 2005 their large new facility was operating 2 shifts and running out of space. As it happened one of the largest cookie manufacturers in North America was located in Edmonton and when they closed down Kinnikinnick was able to acquire their second facility which contained 120,000 square feet with some of the most advanced equipment available. It took them 6 months to decontaminate the building and equipment. Today instead of producing 60 cookies per minute as in their old facility, they produce 3000 cookies a minute. They also can produce items like the KinniTOOS sandwich cookies that require a very sophisticated production line. Both of their operating plants are dedicated gluten free facilities as they have been from the start. Today their internet business is a small but important part of their business with the large majority of their products sold in retail stores throughout North America (including Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska). Kinnikinnick products are available much more readily than ever before and if it turns out you cannot find them locally or you cannot find a particular product you want then the internet is always available. In the future you will see the Kinnikinnick brand in other parts of the world. Kinnikinnick has accelerated its product development to provide a much wider range of products. For example you can now find KinniKritters (animal cookies), KinniTOOS (chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies) and S'Moreables (graham style cookies) at many retail stores. You can also find toaster waffles, donuts, cinnamon buns and a wide range of breads, buns, bagels, muffins and pizza crusts. All of these products are made in either of their two dedicated gluten free facilities. They have a number of new products in development and these will be introduced over the coming months. As they go forward, more and better competing products are entering the market and they know that they have to continue to innovate to keep the Kinnikinnick brand strong and relevant to new consumers. Corporate PhilosophyKinnikinnick Foods is a company focused on their customers. They provide high quality food products to people with special needs. For these people, the choices are limited, often unpalatable and sometimes not available at all. They recognize that for these people the simple act of buying and preparing basic food is difficult at best. The enjoyment of "exotic" foods, like a hamburger, a bagel, a pizza or a donut is sometimes just a fond remembrance. Some children have never tasted a donut until they try one of Kinnikinnick Foods. They take great satisfaction in providing their products to those people with special dietary needs in all regions of North America. Their office receives numerous calls every week simply thanking us for helping them with their conditions and making a difference in their lives. Kinnikinnick Foods will continue to improve and expand our line of specialty products. They believe that more and more people will enjoy their line of products and view them as healthy and satisfying alternatives to other food lines. Kinnikinnick Foods will continue to be one of the leading producers of Alternative Foods in the coming years.

Listen to The Monkees on iHeartRadio
The Monkees are heading back out on the road. The surviving members of the group, which features Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork, have a slate of shows scheduled in late spring.
The 14-date trek is set to begin in Hampton, New Hampshire on May 22nd and wrap up in Northfield, Ohio on June 7th.
Peter says he's "happily looking forward" to the band's latest reunion to perform for "friends and fans in more places." Mike echoes that he's "happy to be going back out playing the music," and he's sure they'll "have fun." Micky adds that he "can't wait to hang out with Papa Nez and the Torkmiester."
The upcoming trek will be The Monkees' third tour in three years. In 2012, following the death of band member Davy Jones, Nesmith, Dolenz, and Tork reunited for a tour that marked their first U.S. concert dates with Mike since 1970. They toured again last summer, telling "Rolling Stone" the reaction to their 2012 trek made it "pretty apparent there was a demand for another one."

`We're here to declare peace over our community and our city," Pastor Kerwin Manning of the Pasadena Church told the gathering at All Saints on the eve of New Year's Eve.
About a hundred Pasadenans and Altadenans had gathered across from City Hall to lament the stray-bullet shooting death of Victor McClinton, the longtime Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department employee and founder of the nonprofit Brotherhood Community Youth Sports League on Christmas morning.
The drive-by shooter was apparently aiming at another man on the same block who had gang ties, and was also hit but merely wounded.
The citizens were also there to lament the deaths on the same holy day of two more innocents, Kendrick Ng and Tracey Noelle Ong Tan. They were simply driving back from the ice rink when a car fleeing an FBI chase slammed into them. The driver of the car has a criminal record and is alleged to be involved with gangs.
It's a simple, viciously sad lesson here in the new year: So long as anyone in the community is associated with the brutal business that is running with other criminals in gangs, whose members pledge allegiance only to their group, everyone else in the community is damned along with them.
A bullet intended for somebody else can end up in you.
A car being chased by police can plow into you.
Of course it's the gang members' "fault" as opposed to the fault of the rest of us.
But I like the holistic approach many at the gathering were touting. It's not a matter of failing to place blame where blame belongs. It's a matter of seeking remedies that work, seeing as the ones we've tried haven't.
I mean, there were Crips - and later Bloods - at school with us when I went to Eliot and Muir. And that was a really long time ago.
All Saints Rector Ed Bacon got it right: we can't expect to "forget this violence and then be shocked when it returns again."
Rickey Pickens of the Flintridge Center said poverty and poor education "lead to a feeling of helplessness, and helplessness breeds violence," and he couldn't be more right.
The stick approach is not going to work for these kids. If they end up in prison, there are three squares a day and a bunch of guys they used to know on the street to hang out with for the rest of their lives, at our expense.
Pickens also had a message intended specifically for those involved with gangs.
"I want you to know there are people out there in the community who are willing and able to help you change your path," Pickens said.
How about a New Year's resolution: That those people include you and me?
Carolyn Garner-Reagan, the revered Pasadena and then Arcadia librarian, writes: "I loved your column today with such interesting, if not a tad scary, reminiscences about your dad and the rocket fuel.
"But please tell Oliver Sacks that Large Print books still live in library collections!
"Pasadena PL has a great and large selection as does my former library, Arcadia PL.
"Of course, Dr. Sacks might not find the scientific tomes he seeks, but then that's what the amazing book magnification devices are for!: http://www.loc.gov/nls/reference/circulars/magnifiers.html

Bold visions needed from new festival heads
As several major festivals recruit new artistic directors, a reminder of why these positions are crucial within the film industry.
It's been a turbulent few weeks on the film festival circuit in Europe. First, Frederic Boyer was ousted at Cannes Directors Fortnight after two years in the role, then the BFI announced that Sandra Hebron, artistic director of the London Film Festival, was stepping down. Clare Stewart, the former head of the Sydney Film Festival, comes to the UK to assume a bigger role at the BFI with oversight over both the LFF and the BFI Southbank and BFI Imax.
This all the while against a backdrop of drama at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) which staged a reduced 2011 event in June under the new leadership of James Mullighan. A curt announcement by EIFF parent organization the Centre For The Moving Image (CMI) followed the festival stating that the 65th event was "unique" and that EIFF 2012 would restore the Michael Powell Award, advertise for an artistic director and possibly move the festival back to August from June.
The scrutiny bestowed on these events and who runs them highlights the mysterious power that film festivals still hold over the industry, even though the majority of films programmed therein are art items which will struggle for a theatrical window beyond their festival screenings.
But festivals possess a cultural value to their cities and countries which always stirs up vigorous opinion. They represent a lightning rod of international focus, tourism and spending in these communities and the right person for the leadership job is critical. It's not an easy one: festival directors have to cater to local, national and international interests, meet film-maker, distributor, sponsor and industry needs while winning over knife-sharpening press.
Most importantly, the artistic director needs to strike up a rapport with audiences and develop a curatorial voice which the festivalgoers respond to and trust.
All this within an environment of reduced public funding, a dearth of sponsorship opportunities and the increasing employment of fee-charging by revenue-starved sales agents. No wonder festivals have become such a crucible of anxiety and tension.
For London, Hebron's loss is a significant one since she is so widely respected. Stewart comes with a fine pedigree, having completed five years restoring luster and audiences to Sydney. She has a big personality and grand passion for cinema which won her many fans and friends on the festival circuit.
Boyer appears to have fallen foul of a political maelstrom surrounding the Cannes Film Festival and questions over the future of the Quinzaine itself. Started in 1968 as a forum for alternative cinema, the section came under fire from Cannes chief Thierry Fremaux in an article in Le Monde on May 21 this year. Fremaux said that that kind of alternative cinema doesn't exist anymore. "All cinema falls under that bracket now," he said. Is Fremaux angling to expand the official selection and wind down the Quinzaine? Or should Cannes continue to operate with a number of different strong programming visions?
The venerable festival in Edinburgh, which operates less on world premieres, arguably just needs a strong programming team. A move back to August would further energise the event which partly moved to an awkward June date to satisfy some dubious funding criteria from the UK Film Council.
Amid all the politics, press attention and gossip, the importance of these key festivals as an exhibition showcase for diverse and risk-taking films increasingly unlikely to score traditional distribution has never been greater. Which makes their survival in a world of devastating cuts to arts funding even more crucial. The bold choices of these artistic directors cannot be underestimated at a time when studio storytelling has never been so homogenized.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team took a lead on Harvard thanks to an own goal on Friday evening, but what goes around comes around. After the Crimson tied the match, they won it on another own goal, 2-1.
It was Penn's first loss of 2013, while Harvard improved to 4-3-1 and won its fourth straight match. The game was the Ivy League opener for both squads.
Penn (4-1-2) took the lead in the 68th minute, whenKerry Scalorasent a ball into the box from the left side. The ball bounced in front of the goal, where a Penn player attempted to head it on but missed it. However, that appeared to confuse one of the Harvard defenders, who attempted to clear it butinsteadkicked itover goalkeeper Bethany Kanten's head and into the Crimson goal.
Harvard responded. Off a corner kick, the ball bounced off Alika Keene and over to Karly Zlatic, who sent a shot into the topright cornerthat tied the score. Peyton Johnson was also credited with an assist on the play.
The Crimson then took the lead just four minutes later when afree kicknear midfield from Margaret Purce was accidentally headed into the Quaker goal by a Penn defender.
Harvard outshot Penn, 9-4, and had the only corner kick in the match. The Crimson nearly took the lead early in the match, with a shot that beat Penn goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli; however, senior defender Claire Walker was behind her keeper and kept it out of the net.
Penn is back in action again on Sunday, hosting Lehigh at 2:30 p.m. on Rhodes Field. That match is the second half of a doubleheader at Rhodes, after the Penn men's soccer team kicks off with Florida International at noon.

Lawyer for woman allegedly injured by Miguel at Billboard Awards speaks out
Listen to Miguel on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - The story of Miguel's leap across the crowd in May at the Billboard Music Awards is far from over. At least one woman, Khyati Shah, says she was badly injured when the "Adorn" singer crashed into the crowd during his performance.
Not much was known about Ms. Shah before now, but we now know that she's a full-timeforeign exchange student here from New Zealand, studying for a double degree in politics and philosophy at UCLA.
Yahoo! Music caught up with her attorney, Vip Bhola, to learn more about the status of her health situation.
Yahoo! reached out to representatives for both Miguel and the Billboard Music Awards, neither of which have issued comments regarding Mr. Bhola's claims at this time.
What's the status of your client, Khyati Shah's, health?
In terms of how Khyati's doing…she's a 4.0 student, so she has been doing well in school. She's got final exams this week and she's experiencing some memory loss, among other types of issues, and she's not going to be able to sit for her exams this week. So, we're concerned about that because it will obviously have an impact on her education right now and potentially her future.
She was supposed to return home to New Zealand at the end of the month — at the end of the semester — and she's not going to be able to. She's likely going to have to postpone that trip. So, that's putting tremendous pressure on her because she's got to find a place to stay once the semester's over, and she's not exactly sure how she's going to pay for that. So, it's a lot of stress and anxiety that she's not exactly prepared for.
Medical providers that she has seen already have told her that she needs to see a specialist, and that's what she's in the process of doing. She's seen general doctors so far, and she has been recommended now to see a specialized neurologist.

Dem mofos can dance
So it's an all German final in the Champions League (with Bayern heavy favourites).
I've proposed (well to Facebook at least) that it might be an amusing competition to read the football sections of newspapers and websites and have one person drinking when they see the phrase "end of an era" and the other when they see "balance of power has shifted" and see who caves first - but I fear it would only end in stomachs being pumped.
As it's a one of game, to resort to cliche myself, I don't think Dortmund can be written off, but Bayern are looking incredibly good (and have already shown in the league that they have the measure of Dortmund).
Away from football I haven't caught much of the snooker as I would like to but have to say that Trump vs O'Sullivan should be the final (I don't particularly like either of them but they are both great to watch) as the line up for the other semi is rather uninspiring (Walden and Hawkins are just not the most exciting of players and I can see them both being overawed by the occasion in the final). It has been as impressive watching Ronnie play as it has been tedious to see him once again act like a pillock in press conferences.
Ferguson retiring.
As a United fan young enough that I've never known anything else it's incredibly strange to think somebody else will be manager next year. Proper headfuck.
Absolutely no idea. I've tried not to think about it in the hope that if I just kept assuming he'd be here 'til he dropped then it might happen. :D
The two names I've heard bandied about the most are Mourinho and Moyes. The former I can't see it happening (or necessarily working out if it did) and the latter is a good manager who I'd rather somebody else took the gamble on. Given they're both doing their badges and seem keen on managing I'd be surprised of one of Giggs or Neville doesn't get the job at some point but not yet.
I've seen some rumours of Jurgen Klopp and I really like what he's done at Dortmund so I wouldn't be unhappy if we got him.
An announcement is apparently due within 48 hours and odds on Moyes have been slashed, but of course that's as likely to be betting trends as anything else.
I can't imagine Jürgen Klopp going away so suddenly. If he's leaving then only to coach for the German national team.
Six year deal for Moyes. Good. I know it'll be claused up to the scuppers but that's still a decent commitment which is good for all concerned. A sign of intent for us, a bit of security for Moyes and gives him a bit more authority if some big-headed player should think he can give it the big'un because the manager's more expendable than he is.
A number of papers also seem to be seriously running several variants on United in discussions about Ronaldo but surely that's tosh?
Still not convinced it's the great appointment a lot of the people seem to think it is. Nothing against Moyes, he's a good manager. But it seems to lack ambition. His lack of European experience seems particularly glaring considering that's an area Fergie was always striving to improve.
All the talk coming from Man Utd seems to be about stability and continuity, but plenty of big teams manage success with semi-regular changes in manager. Everyone mocks Chelsea for the constant rotation, but they still win things. Ferguson's longevity is a huge exception. I've read a lot of fans saying they wouldn't want Mourinho because he'd only stick around for 4 or 5 years, but I don't see what's wrong with that. It'd be naive in the extreme to expect Moyes to just walk in and emulate Ferguson by staying there 20 years.
The other problem is, if Ferguson is staying on as a director they now have a living legend who casts a huge shadow over the whole club. I get the feeling that the minute things start to turn sour Moyes is going to get crushed by the weight of the club, with Fergie sat at the top. If I was a fan I think I'd have preferred someone like Mourinho, who might be caustic and probably wouldn't be long-term, but would have the mentality to make his own mark. Of course, I might be selling Moyes short in that regard, who knows. But all the talk at the moment makes it sound like Moyes is being employed to keep his hand on the rudder, not to actually captain the ship.
I'm not totally convinced but there are definite downsides to Mourinho other than him fucking after a few years.
1) He's a massive dickhead and would probably fall out with the Glazers in about a fortnight.
2) Look at the state of the Real Madrid squad at the moment, half of them don't like each other.
3) He left Chelsea in such a position where the players basically start running the team if they don't like the manager. I don't care whether it's still brought them some trophies, the tail should not wag the dog.
4) For all the good signings, Mourinho has signed some incredibly expensive dross as well. So's Ferguson but they knew he'd make it work somehow.
For all that, I do still see the appeal but I've read before that there was resistance to hiring him amongst the board. After him though, who else was there? I said above I like Klopp but he wouldn't have been a sure thing by any standards. Guardiola is going to Bayern regardless of whether or not you think his life was made a lot easier by Barcelona's cast of superstars. Who else was there with European experience of any real significance? Look at the list of Champions League winning managers who aren't getting on a bit. It's not a stellar lot.
As for Chelsea managerial rotisserie, it's worth bearing in mind that they've got enough money that if a manager is shit and leaves behind a less than desierable set of players they can just tell him to fuck off and buy some new ones. United seem to be managing their debt but get to the point where they're trying to pay off three managers at a time and that'd go down the pan.
As for Ferguson staying on I've long been of the same opinion you are that he ought to have chosen to move outside the club but obviously the club couldn't have told him to get lost. It helps in this case that he's obviously friends with Moyes and had a hand in his appointment, in as much as you'd hope that at least Ferguson himself will be actively pushing for people to give him some slack. Whoever came in was going to be on a hiding to nothing and as you say that would have been the selling point for Mourinho, that he's got so much ego he wouldn't have cared.
It's worth taking into account, of course, that there's every chance Mourinho just wasn't interested in managing United.
All fair points really. I'm not much of a fan of Mourinho myself, I mentioned him more as an example of the type of manager that has the CV and mentality to overcome Ferguson's legacy. Klopp would've been an excellent choice but I think his interest would've depended on how much his Dortmund team gets dismantled. I've not seen many people mention Carlo Ancelotti, given that he seems to want out of PSG and I don't think it would've been beyond Man Utd to tempt him away from Madrid. Ancelotti has pretty much everything you need at this point his career.
Anyway, Moyes has his chance now. Genuinely hope it goes well for him. Although if I'm honest I'd like to see this knock Utd off their stride for a bit, for the sake of a more competitive title race.
I think that's the thing with Klopp, even if he would vaguely have been interested (I've no reason to assume this is the case) I suspect he wasn't interested in talking about it before the final anwyay. And to be honest it sounds like United and Ferguson wanted Moyes pretty much from the start. Or Ferguson did anyway.
Even if it'd still been Ferguson at the helm I don't think United would have been anything like favourites for next year. City will come back stronger (rumour tonight seems to be that Pellegrini's about to get that job) and you'd think Chelsea will too.
And what a way to win too. Best team won.
You just can't beat a last minute goal in a big match. I love it. Whoever it is. Even when I watched The Premiership Years for last season, when it came to the Aguero winner at the end of the season I got goosebumps even though at the time I was obviously gutted. But Ben Watson essentially lived one of my childhood dreams, aside from the fact that it wasn't a 35 yard screamer or a mazy run past five players.
As for today, while it would have been even more fitting if it was after the 8th minute of 2 minutes of injury time it was nice that Ferguson's last match at Old Trafford was a win courtesy of a late winner.
It was nice to see Moyes got a good send off from Goodison as well. I thought he would but after he'd been wittering on in the week about how he'd understand if they didn't I wasn't sure if I'd missed something between him and the Everton fans.
Well, all sport players will meet end of their sport career, but still a bit sad when learning news of it.
Who would have thought SAF would retire before Beckham?
A lot of famous names retiring after this season but at least Giggs and Zanetti are still playing.
So who do we want in the Champions League final tomorrow, chaps?
I'd rather Dortmund but as long as we get a good game I'm not much fussed.
Definitely Dortmund... I don't think Dortmund really has a 50-50 chance, but in a one off match you never know how it plays out.
It'll also be a busy motorsports weekend, with both the prestigious Monaco F1 Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. Both are great names in the world of motorsports, for reasons I admit I don't always understand.

Read & Play with Allie: Trucks
April 2, 2012 at 8:00 am melissaanddoug 7 comments
Playing with puzzles is a teacher and parent favorite for quiet time, when kids need to calm down. When I taught preschool, after lunch but before nap was always a good time for puzzles because it calmed my students before rest time. But that's not the only way you can use puzzles; they can be a dynamic learning tool especially when coupled with a good book.My daughter just graduated from Jumbo Knob Puzzles to Peg Puzzles. To get her started I paired Vehicles Mix 'n Match Peg Puzzle with the book Touchy Feely Trucks by Fiona Watt.We started by playing with the puzzle. Since she is just beginning with peg puzzles, I removed three pieces at a time and asked her where they went. If I had removed them all at once it may have been overwhelming, but she had no trouble finding the spots with just three pieces to place. Her favorite thing to do was to put the puzzle piece in the wrong spot on purpose and say, "No no no no!" and laugh. Then she'd find the right one and give herself a clap. That self-congratulations is what it's all about: finding challenges that kids can conquer themselves and helping them feel pride in their effort and success.Look how fast she is clapping! She is so proud that she got it in all by herself!That's not all I love about puzzles though. So many great skills are being worked on in such a simple toy: matching and problem solving, for instance. And of course these puzzles are fantastic for fine-motor development; holding the little pegs takes serious effort when you are little.
After we did all three rows of the puzzle we read the book. For younger children, try to pair the puzzle with a shorter book, since attention spans aren't huge and you want your child to learn and have fun connecting the two.
Touchy Feely Trucks is a great book for toddlers because it's a touch-and-feel book with different textures to feel as you turn each page. Great for wiggly toddlers who crave stimulation. Other great truck-themed books include I Love Trucks! by Philemon Sturges, My Truck Is Stuck! by Kevin Lewis and Trucks by Byron Barton.
After we read I grabbed the puzzle and we played a simple matching game. I flipped through the book and gave her one puzzle piece, saying "Can you put this yellow truck on the yellow truck in the book?" This is a good activity to add to the book and puzzle because you are building on the matching activity that the puzzle already sets out to teach.
We did this three times, which was just the right amount of time for her. Watch your child's cues because once frustration sets in, learning steps out!
By pairing a great classic toy like a puzzle with a book you deepen the connections your child makes and spark her curiosity about the theme of both.
Check out these other great peg puzzles we love!

So cool, my son would love that puzzle!
My son is about your daughter's age and puzzles are coming easier for him, so fun to watch their stages & enjoy them a little more the second time around!
Melissa and Doug puzzles are the best! And adding a book only makes it better. Thanks for the great ideas.
My daughter l; loves puzzles! I never thought to pair any of her puzzles with a book. Great ideas!
I love Usborne touchy feely books because, like the M & D products, they are interactive and educational. Great post!

text: "The Early Republic and Indian Country, 1812-1833" is a four-week school teacher institute for twenty-five participants on the interactions between Native Americans and European Americans in the early nineteenth century. From the end of the American Revolution to the 1830s, the region between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River was the site of interactions between white settlers and Native Americans and of conflicts over land, power, and governance that erupted during the War of 1812. The institute brings recent scholarship to bear on this period, supplemented by maps and documents from the excellent collections at the Newberry Library's D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies. The center's director, Scott Stevens, and Frank Valadez of the Chicago Metro History Education Center direct the institute, with Ann Durkin Keating of North Central College as lead scholar. Participants first explore the reactions of Native groups to incursions by the French, British, and Americans from the late 1700s through 1810, and readings are drawn from Daniel Richter's Facing East from Indian Country and Richard White's The Middle Ground. They then consider ways that Indian groups incorporated Euro-American trade and culture into their societies, led by Susan Sleeper-Smith of Michigan State University. Readings for this second week include selections from Sleeper-Smith's Indian Women and French Men, Theda Perdue's "Native Women in the Early Republic," and Richard White's "The Fiction of Patriarchy: Indians and Whites in the Early Republic." In the third week, participants focus on Native resistance and the War of 1812 with R. David Edmunds of the University of Texas at Dallas, reading excerpts from Edmunds's Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership and Joel Martin's Sacred Revolt. Finally, John Hall of the University of Wisconsin leads an examination of Indian removal after the War of 1812, with readings from Hall's Uncommon Defense and Kerry Trask's Black Hawk. Primary source materials include items such as an 1836 "Map of the Sites of Indian Tribes of North America," letters of U.S. Indian agents, and the records of fur traders, which will bring the past to life. The group also visits the Field Museum, the Mitchell Museum, and the Chicago History Museum.

Hi guys & girls,
Im new to linux so bare with me,
im currently using backtrack 3 live cd,
and im trying to install the modded drivers for the RT73 chipset i got the drivers from:
...homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/ AJSps drivers

Edimax EW-7318USG USB adapter which uses the RT73 chipset
so i unpacked the drivers to /root/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.0
then i CD to /root/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.0/Module
but when i try to do the make and make install i get the below error:
bt Module # make
make: *** /lib/modules/22.214.171.124/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
rt73.ko failed to build!
make: *** [module] Error 1

SuperPhillip Central writes, "The subject of this editorial comes from something that happened during the Game Developers' Conference. It featured Mark Rein of Epic Games talking about the all-new Unreal Engine 4, and addressing a question that a Kotaku reporter asked regarding whether or not Epic planned on running it on the Wii U.
From the Kotaku article:
I figured I'd ask straight-out, so during the Q&A with Rein, I did. "Will UE4 run on the Wii U?"
"Hahaha no." Rein said, with expert comedic timing. The room erupted with laughter. As the laughs died down, Rein continued: "I mean, sorry, it's not really a correct answer. We're not… we have Unreal Engine 3 for the Wii U. Right? And Unreal Engine 3 is powering all kinds of amazing games, still lots of games are being made with Unreal Engine 3. We announced today about a new Unreal Engine 3 license. Unreal Engine 3 doesn't disappear because of Unreal Engine 4. But our goal for Unreal Engine 4 console-wise is next-gen consoles....
It's not developers fault that Nintendo went the cheap route building Wii-U hardware wise
Won't be Nintendo that's for sure. Wii was just a runaway success so I don't see why people are delusion that they will be successful again. I mean they won't do bad I predict that they will sell 40-50 million.
what were you saying from 2006-2010 when the ps3 didn't even have 70 million sales? you were one of those in delusion? hoping for the ps3 to touch the 150 million sales that the ps2 had?
are you still in that delusion?
Nintendo will always be successful.
but to define Nintendo success you have to come up with some subjective skewed hypocritical definition.
______ console sells 1.5 mill in 3 months successful
______ console sells 2 mill in 3 months. not successful
if 1.5 million is a success, what backwards assed universe would 2 million not be a success?
its only not successful when Nintendo does it, let another company do 1/2 of what Nintendo did / done it would be a mountain of praise.
No one comments that the ds sold more than the ps2 and in less time... what do you say to that?
It is because they love it oldschool. I still love nintendo, no nintendo no pokemon
I didn't understand your report, as this article deals with the industry (i.e. how broken the business model is and how Nintendo screwed up royally), and really nothing to do with culture.
The industry tag is used for news dealing with the gaming industry not opinion pieces
Nintendo always wins in the end.
Nintendo always wins... until it doesn't.
Virtual Boy says hi.
Created by the greatest electronics genius in gaming history.
And despite its embarrassing flop its still not a billion dollar failure like some other high profile products I could mention. It's also not the most defective piece of hardware in gaming history, like another product that will go unnamed.
We could also throw hints at various Atari and Sega products, but I'm sure you already get my point.
Maybe to Nintendo fans because to the core gamers they tend to fall behind everyone else.
Nintendo fans "are" core gamers.
They have higher standard than pretty much anyone I can think of. Go look at the average game that a Nintendo fan owns and you will rarely see one that looks both looks and plays exactly like the other.
They like variety in their gaming and they like high quality.
That is a valid point. With the Unreal Engine 4, the money it takes to make these games will be harder and harder to make back. There also seems to be a set ceiling to how much money these AAA games can make. Look at Call of Duty, it isn't really smashing the records anymore, just slightly moving past them. It's a cycle of diminishing returns.
most people dont understand the money side of it. glad you do.
@ jameson That's because the development cycle for pc to console in not efficient,know with the ps4 and presumably the next box this shouldn't be a problem.
The cost and development teams needed to make games in general is going up, it has nothing to do with console specifics... To make these big budget titles and to get them out on time takes extremely large teams of people, even if the game is PC only these games still are expensive to make.
i agree. and wasn't it epic games who mentioned that developing games for next gen will cost more than the present conditions? why do you think 3.4 million for the new Tomb Raider is still not enough to recoup sales?
although they say that next gen games will still be priced at $60 a piece, it wouldn't surprise me if they price it higher to $70-$80.
my belief is that the reason Nintendo is not announcing any price drop for the console now, is their taking their time to make that announcement once the PS4 and NextBox launches. they'll probably drop the deluxe version to $250 by then and new games would probably be reduced to $50, and if you're a parent comparing a $250 HD console with a $400-$500 console (supposed price points for PS4 and Xbox 720), chances are your wallet will be the one doing the talking.
I'll probably pick up a wii-u when it's sub $100 like I did with the wii. Price isn't the main factor when I buy a games console, games are and nintendo has been lacking the last couple gens (outside a couple mainstays and surprise hits).
more hate more hate that all there is nowadays toward Nintendo.
Wow so the company who saved Video Game in USA is not being bashed weekly by western third parties devs who didn't even thanks Nintendo for saving gaming in the west.
Looks like its Nintendo's turn for all the hate like Sony got with the PS3. Wonder if the 720 will get this treatment. Who am I kidding, of course they wont.
Nintendo didn't save gaming in the west? What...I don't even........what?
You should go read about the big video game crash and who created the video game industry from there, it's an interesting story.
sad just sad
GO do some research.
I wasn't even born in the 80s yet I was in 94.
Yet I know about classic gaming and history.
Go search the 80s USA Video Game Crash.
Nintendo will have the best exclusives. they don't need the industry, especially not Epic, Epic is just mad because their bro shooter Gears can't even come close to any of Nintendo's main IP's
Nintendo doesn't have the best exclusives...Sony has that honor.
The Last of Us
Ratchet and Clank
Little Big Planet
Heavy Rain
Beyond Two Souls
Way of the Samurai 4
I can keep going these are just the ones off the top of my head here.
Best is an opinion. Same goes for who you're replying too.
Funny cause some of those exclusives you listed are not even out yet.
it's opinion and i would argue thay sony and nintendo are almost even, with nintendo a little bit ahead, but you shouldn't use games like MAG,Ressistance,Socom,or killzone which are either laggy glitch fests,very average, or a couple cuts away from being great as examples of sony first party, i'm talking about Amazing games. For example galaxy took GOTY from bioshock on many sites in 2007 and both games are frequently in the popular debate for game of the gen, those are the kind of games i'm talking about.
Mario bros.
Mario kart
Paper mario
3d mario games
All the mario spin of games (soccer, golf etc.)
(lol there are more mario games then ps and xbox has on exclusives combined)
All Legend of zelda games
Advance wars
Animal crossing
Donkey kong
All the pokemon games
Super smash bros.
Fire emblem
And a few sonic games
Oh and all the wii fit/sports crap xD
These aren't just exclusive games, they are exclusive series that had ton of games
Oh and you forgot PS allstars, or were you ashamed to post that since its a rip off of SSB?
I bet that this is gonna breeze past people, or people will out right say it's wrong, but the author does bring up a valid point.
I was truly surprised that Tomb Raider selling 3.4 MILLION fell below expectations. We could very well see more studios close if their big AAA game doesn't meet "Expectations."
And what's even more Ironic is that a lot of Indie games like Minecraft, Super meat boy, Bastion, Etc, which have such critical acclaim and sold a ton DIDN'T have super huge budgets, and are creative.
I remember reading that these next gen games will have higher budgets than current gen games and that's a scary thought if you think about the studios that closed down after their AAA game didn't sell.
Just another example of how production costs are on the rise for these types of games.
And look at all of the studios that Closed down.
-Ensemble Studios
-Sony Liverpool
-Hudson Soft
-Zipper Interactive
-Bizarre Creations
-EA Visceral Melbourne
And many more.
So can you imagine the kinds of games we'll be getting next gen if the costs are going way the hell up?
There will be SO MUCH stagnation that even casual gamers would tell the samey-ness of these games.
These companies will be taking almost NO risks with their big games, When you think next gen, you think New IP's. The only new confirmed IP for the next gen is Knack and there's like NO hype for it. we should be showing enthusiasm for new ip's and ideas, instead of prettier looking shooters and action games with the same gameplay.
... and this is one of the reasons why Nintendo's pushing Unity, especially to attract indie devs.
coz indie devs nowadays tend to develop games that are more creative than the big publishers/devs.
Seeing as Nintendo is making money while others are selling properties to make some money due to their struggling divisions failing to do so and others still are getting new CEO's after posting record loses. I'd have to say Nintendo will have the last laugh like they have been for years.
Probably Nintendo because they're not as arrogant as these western devs and don't run their mouths.
Probably Nintendo.
Ps4 new Xbox 90% same multiplatform game, 10% exklusive.
Can I borrow your time machine.
Nintendo have nothing to worry about. Get N or get OUT! :)
I disagree that development cost will skyrocket next gen because the incoming consoles are easier to develop for so less is spent on R&D. Also unreal engine 4 was designed to cut development cost by eliminating the time taken to get specific functions working in a game where the engine has now made those functions built in and more accessible.
NO, you're wrong.
Next gen games will cost more, we don't know how much more, but definitely more than current gen games.
I never said it won't cost more. I just said that that figure won't be as much as most people might think.
It's crazy to think Nintendo is just sitting back and not seeing what's happening. They know that they have to come hard at E3 or don't come at all. Just think about this Epic has been working on there tech demo for a while and Nintendo did there WII U demo's in what 10 minutes. Retro has a engine X looks great, Bayonetta no doubt will be great. One sign that Nintendo isn't worried is because they know that the system that wins is the system that has the most games. Just wait to E3 people there being smart by improving there first ever HD system and for a company who can afford to take chances there doing great in terms of what they want. If you think there worried about the next gen systems trust me there not there not in a panicked state also theres a drought on there system wait until the new ones come out there will be droughts.
The mentality of the western gamer is lead by the media in general it seems. People over here tend to react to everything that comes across the World Wide Web... I personally don't know why after all of these years people still choose to doubt Nintendo's staying power in this industry! At this stage of the game you have to put them in a similar boat to both Apple and Disney. Yeah sure you may not like some of the products they are selling, but just because an individual or even millions of people don't like something doesn't mean that there isn't a profitable market carved out for what they are selling. Nintendo has proven that they can be extremely successful with console sales of 20-25 million. So why are people quoting a lifetime sales of WiiU at 40-50 million as being a bad thing and dooming the company in the long run? As far as all of these graphics engines go, I personally hope that whatever custom engine that Retro Studios has built becomes the defacto standard on WiiU. We know that this engine is built from the ground up for the system and I think E3 will show this in spades!
I assume the headline means industry trends? Nintendo simply follows their own rules. For their own business model it actually works in making them profits where, as a business, that's the most important thing.
It won't give them success all of the time of course. Certain need to be followed to stay relevant in new generations.
Ok let's look the sales
Wii + 3DS = 130 million units sold
PS3 + VIta = 78 million units sold
Xbox 360 = 75 million units sold
Ok now let's take a look at the exclusives
Xbox has Forza, Halo, Fable, Gears, Kinect, and my favorite game of them all: R.R.O.D.
PS3 has Uncharted, Killzone, MGS, Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet, God of War, and best of all: [email protected]
Nintendo has Super Mario, Pikmin, F-Zero, Pokemon, Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Yoshi Epic Yarn, Fire Emblem, Star Fox, Kirby, Wario, Advance Wars, Mario Kart, Mario Party, LEGO City, Luigi's Mansion, Monster Hunter, Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Nintendoland, Mario Golf, Tennis, Soccer, Wii U Fit, Dragon Quest, and Animal Crossing.
Now let's look at how the companies are doing financially:
" Xbox division has lost close to $3 billion in the last 10 fiscal years."
"Sony's gaming division lost even more money in the same time period, with a loss of almost $5 billion."
"Nintendo's most recent financial statements showed they had 797.5 Billion Yen worth of cash in the bank. Convert this to dollars and Nintendo has $10.3 billion on hand."
You numbers comaprison are a bit far off.
It should be:
GC 21.74m/GBA 81.51m (official)
Wii 100m/DS 151m = 250m (still selling)
Wii U 3m so far/3DS 30m so far
PS3 74m/PSP (don't know)
PS4 0/Vita 4.5
Xbox1 (don't know)
Xbox 360 75m
Wow, interesting stuff.. Anyway this commin GEN will be a disaster, I can feel it. We all know Micro$oft owns the media & Sony's in the red. You guys just don't get it, Nintendo's always been the underdog. Everyone wants to see Ninty die, they do this on purpose, trust me. I'm tellin ya, they refuse to let Nintendo win. Micro$oft will stop at nuthin for world domination, they FAILED with the ZUNE & here they go again. Xbox was invented to destroy the gaming market, I wonder if we can stop them..
The Unreal 4 engine is made to be scalable. It has nothing to do with the power of the Wii U. Epic are just being assholes. They won't take the time to develop it for Wii U until the install base makes them reconsider. Same with EA and Frostbite 3. They make their engine run for systems that aren't out yet and ignore the one that is, because they have an antagonistic relationship with Nintendo. That's partly Nintendo's fault, but not all Nintendo's fault.
When the install base is big enough and Epic and others reconsider and decide to bring their (quick ported) games on N console.
I (Nintendo) would make them pay a double royal fee and have the last laugh.
And with that extra money taken from big publishers I would sponsor indie developers.
It doesn't matter who's laughing when the gamers are crying for AAAs.

My first book that dealt with these matters was "English Political writers: From Locke to Burke" (Knopf, 1963).
"Barack Obama is like the wallpaper of her life," Locke says of her two-and-a-half year-old daughter.
In his Second Treatise of Government, Locke helped lay the conceptual groundwork for the American rebellion.
Now instead of struggling over essay prompts that ask "Why do Hobbes and Locke have such different views of political authority?"
His first commissioned poster was of Locke for the viral campaign surrounding the ABC show Lost.
I'd like for you to say a good word for me, if it falls your way, to this Mr. Locke—and Trask.
Lady Locke looked at him quite gravely while he was speaking.
They are interesting mainly as a link between Locke and the Scottish school.
Lady Locke looked up, and seemed to come to a sudden resolution.
Locke had left the Great Eastern, and there was little chance of encountering the man elsewhere.

NYC St. Paddy's Parade gets dumped—by Guinness
(NEWSER) – First Sam Adams and Heineken quit sponsoring St. Patrick's Day parades in Boston and New York City; now Guinness is joining in protest of a ban on gay activist groups marching in the celebrations, Reuters reports. "Guinness has a strong history of supporting diversity and being an advocate for equality for all. We were hopeful that the policy of exclusion would be reversed for this year's parade," the company says. "As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation."Fox News notes that Ford Motor Company is now the only big US sponsor of today's parade.
