The Wii U hasnt been doing particularly well in the market. According
to NPD, the Wii U only sold roughly 57,000 units in the US in January,
and February wasnt much better: Last month, Nintendos latest console
only sold an estimated 64,000 units. Considering that the Wii U launched
just a few months ago, these incredibly low numbers are cause for
worry.
The Xbox 360, a seven-year-old console, sold over 300,000
units last month in the US. The brand new Wii U just cant compete with
the aging PS3 and Xbox 360. Its not simply because of tech specs clock
speed and RAM dont sell consoles. Its all about the games.
Traditionally, people buy Nintendo consoles for first-party games.
Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Star Fox sell consoles, but so far, on the
Wii U, there isnt much in the way of big Nintendo releases. Nintendo
Land and New Super Mario Bros. U were decent launch titles, but its
going to take a lot more than those games to make the Wii U a viable
platform. Unfortunately, were still waiting to see what is in store from
most of Nintendos biggest franchises.
From clowns to trapezes,Other companies want a piece of that ventilationsystem action the show contains everything you'd expect from a typical circus, as well as a few unique surprises.
Heading
into the typically novelty sized large tent, my editor's words still
rang in my ear: "Anything they want you to do, go along with it".
My
mind was racing through all the things they could possibly make me do.
Walk a tightrope? Ride a unicycle? Tame a lion? Obviously the latter was
not going to happen as there are no animals in this circus, but I
couldn't help wonder what surprises were in store for me.
Pre-show
rehearsals were under way when I arrived. This involved the 'Gretzu
Troupe', a group of springboard acrobats from Romania. As I
watched,Manufactures and supplieschinamosaic equipment.
I witnessed one of the acrobats being launched into the air, and then
caught mid-flight by another acrobat. They held the position briefly,
before being thrown back down and caught by another bunch of gymnasts on
the floor.
Impressive indeed, but then it dawned on me: What if
they do this to me? I really didn't fancy being flung twenty feet into
the air like a rag doll. I anxiously watched as they finished their
routine. Thankfully, I wasn't asked to participate.
I was
instead taken over to the handlebars, to have a go at the balancing act.
I've never had the best sense of balance, but watching the young
performer, Desiree, balance gracefully and skilfully on the bars with
ease made me think I could do the same with no problems.The online
extension of plasticmoulds Technology magazine.
I
couldn't have been more wrong. I placed my hands in what seemed like a
ridiculously awkward position on the bars. I tried to lift my body up,
but nothing happened.Large collection of quality indoorpositioningsystem at
discounted prices. Two more attempts, and nothing. I could hear the
quiet laughs of the rest of the crew as I continued to make a fool of
myself.
After another demonstration, I gave it one last attempt,
this time determined to get it right. This time I placed my hands
correctly, my first leg went up off the air. All was looking good, but
as I lifted my standing leg, my arms gave way, and I narrowly avoided
falling flat on my face onto the gravelly floor.
However, the
most interesting part of the evening was watching Nick Diaz in every
way. He taunted GSP, called him a bitch, tried to goad him into a brawl
all to no avail. Diaz punched after the bell more than once and was his
usual awful self inside the cage.
Yeaaahh, it wasnt the fact
that Georges won that made me smile, nor the fact that Diaz talked trash
all night while he was being OWNED which was nothing short of
ridiculous.
Nope it was the fact that after the match he
revealed that on camera that he has never paid taxes in his life. The
idea that the most frightening three letter agency (IRS) in the United
States will now be a big part of his life made me laugh out loud. And I
dont mean the silly LOL of social media I mean I laughed out freaking
loud.
Although I must admit that I feel a tiny bit sorry for
Nick because while he blurted out the fact that hes a tax evader with
the innocence of a child,A supplier specialized in developing and
manufacturing customized solar lamps and plasticmould system.
the feds dont have much of a sense of humor. But then again Diaz and
all the other folks that dont pay their taxes dont deserve pity they
deserve the full wrath of the federal government because for every
person that does not pay tax it means that the rest of us that do must
make up for their missing contributions.
