Banks say no to being GST collectors
Interest writes:
Banks wouldn't want to be involved in attempting to collect GST on goods bought overseas for less than $400 because doing so would be "incredibly complex", Kirk Hope the CEO of bank lobby group the New Zealand Bankers' Association (NZBA) says.
Hope told interest.co.nz that although he had some sympathy with the New Zealand Retailers' Association argument about a level playing field, banks weren't keen on being involved. His comments come after it emerged that three government departments have set up a joint working party to see whether GST could be levied on overseas purchases worth less than $400.
"We wouldn't want to be involved in the collection of it because it's very complex both to implement and administratively," Hope said.
"And I think (Customs Minister Maurice) Williamson has pointed out that in fact no other jurisdictions have figured out how to collect GST on online transactions because it's not as easy as the Retailers' Association would have you believe."
Yep the Retailers need to harden up.
I don't know anyone who decides to purchase online because of the GST difference. They buy online because it is convenient and/or available.
If the concern is the 15% GST provides an incentive for people to buy online, then the solution should be to lower GST!
Hope also said a problem for banks would be not actually knowing where their customers were.
"A customer may be in a foreign jurisdiction on holiday. We don't know where they physically are so if the transaction is booked on their credit card in a foreign jurisdiction, are they there physically? Are they holidaying or have they just brought something from that jurisdiction?"
If my credit card company charged me 15% GST on a purchase and got it wrong, I'd want their blood.

Will There Ever Be Such Thing As a Time Machine?Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
Megan was showing her friend Sarah around her laboratory. She took her for a tour around and stopped at the ''Time Machine''. She lectured Sarah, '' I have a fully capable time machine here, capable of going back to the Big Bang!'' Sarah was quite smart and had a lot of knowledge about history and science. She inspected the machine. It looked capable of time travel. Megan continued on with her story. ''I've even tried it once! I went back to the 1540's and met a man going north from Mexico. I asked him in Spanish what his name was. He said his name was Juan Ponce de Leon. I went north with him up to where Kansas might be today, and then returned to Mexico. Then, I came back home to 2006.'' Sarah replied ''Meg, what a convincing story, but not convincing enough! I know you're an actress, but today is not your day to act!'' How did Megan go wrong?

False River closed to boaters
POINTE COUPEE - False River has been closed to boaters due to high water.
The Pointe Coupee police jury made the decision because the water level has reached 18 feet, requiring the closure.
The river is still several feet from flood stage.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers signed off on a plan today to improve water quality in False River. It is being funded by $1.5 million from the state.
The police jury now has to approve the project.

Dear world,
Behold! My first artistic offering in over 10 years.
Once upon a time, little Sara used to draw. She drew morning, noon and night. She drew on fancy paper, cheap table napkins, scraps of paper, on anything she could get her hands on (lucky for her mother, walls were not one of the chosen mediums).
Then Sara grew up and became concerned with more important matters. Like finding a man (not a boy who thinks he can). Like carving out a career. Like traveling the world. Like paying rent. Like finding the meaning of life. The items on the bucket list of your usual twenty-something-year-old.
Somewhere along the way, not-so-little-anymore Sara decided to be happy. And being happy meant doing things that made her happy. So she decided to start drawing again. Her ever-encouraging father urged her to start a comic blog (and promised to promote it on his Facebook account). And voila! This comic blog was born.
And the first offering is based on a real-life, 2-minute encounter with a random passerby — apparently a fan of that day's big, wavy, sex goddess hairdo.
This comic strip was brought to life in 3 places: rather surreptitiously in an office cube in the Financial District, quite carefully on the crowded Brooklyn-bound 2 train, and then finally, triumphantly in a funny little coffee shop in Tribeca. After it had been fully inked and colored, I looked at it over and over again, quite hesitant to share it. I had been a little girl the last time I had shared my little comic strips with anyone. As a full-grown woman, I quite lacked the shamelessness of my childhood.
But this feeling…this small, sweet happiness that comes with creation…of anything, even a small nothing… This feeling is beautiful. And I want to feel it over and over and over again.
Much love,

Freedom festival brightens Grand Lake
Large crowds celebrate Fourth in Celina, state park
CELINA - Despite the heat, large crowds were on hand for this year's Freedom Days celebration along Grand Lake.
"We had some nice crowds Friday and Saturday. Sunday it was so hot ... attendance was down a little until later in the evening," said Bob Howell, one of the chairmen of the three-day festival along Lakeshore Drive in Celina.
A Grand Lake official reported lake traffic was the best it's been in about two years. Many boaters were anchored off Lakeshore Drive and West Bank Road to see the fireworks Saturday evening.
The display started about 10 minutes early after a storm threatened to nix the event. Streaks of heat lightning periodically lit up the sky in the west prior to the show.
Although temperatures reached the 90s on Saturday a subtle breeze helped cool festival-goers, Howell said. He also noted there was no foul smell from the lake; last year a unique form of blue-green algae left a stench in the area.
New events this year - an eight-team kickball tournament and a car show with 133 vehicles - were well attended and will be expanded next year, Howell said.
"We also had the most teams ever - 40 - for our cornhole tournament," he added.
Howell said "everybody was well-behaved" and no problems were reported.
"We really didn't have any major issues at all," Celina Police Chief Dave Slusser said.
Police arrested one person for disorderly conduct and another for attempting to bring beer onto festival grounds.
Also, several juveniles tore down a section of the orange dividing fence "because they were too lazy to go around," Slusser said. The minors were turned over to their parents, he said.
"I think everything went very well," he said, adding few disturbances are ever reported during Freedom Days.
The patriotic celebration is sponsored by Celina's American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Fraternal Order of Eagles and Moose Lodge. It began during the Fourth of July weekend in 2004 to honor the U.S. flag and all veterans who ensure our country's freedom.
The festival grossed nearly $80,000 in 2010. Revenues from this year's festival were not yet available. All profits help fund improvements to the city's lakefront.
Brian Miller, manager at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park, said the campground was about 90 percent full for the weekend and lake usage was the best it's been in about two years. He saw people boating, skiing, tubing and had reports of people swimming at the three boater beaches in the lake.
A public health advisory placed on the lake May 19 due to algae toxins advises against wading in the water and swallowing it, but allows boating.
Miller said he received no reports of anyone becoming ill.
Other than four operating while under the influence and other alcohol-related citations, the holiday weekend was "safe and successful," Miller said.

REGION: Timana, Colombia VARIETAL: Caturra FARM: Finca La Esperanza ALTITUDE: 1600 M FARMER: Brayan Joven Almario ROAST: Medium NOTES: Sun-dried
With an effort to take coffee sourcing to a next level, the Klatch team collaborated with Bird Rock and Portola Coffee to develop a sourcing model that would help motivate farmers to produce great coffee, at the same time, get paid fairly. Roasters United was born out of a desire to explore new green-bean buying models.
Together, the three Southern California coffee roasters sponsored a competition with farmers in Huila and Antioquia offering all farms that produced excellent coffee a well-above Fair Trade price Farm Gate, meaning that in addition to a good price, we paid for all milling and exporting costs in stead of the farmer. We have also promised to pay 3.6 million pesos in Farm-Improvement Grants to the top three farms. Brayan Joven Almario is the Roasters United winner. His farm, Finca Esperanza, is located in Timana, Colombia. This coffee offers a sweet and bright fusion of green apples, melon, honey and dark chocolate. With a medium body and a lingering citrus acidity, this coffee is a must try for all coffee enthusiasts.

EquityAnalytics – Momentum Stocks And Their True Worth
by David Ristau - July 25th, 2011 9:54 am
In the trading and investing world, we have all sat in awe of the significant movements of the high growth stocks. In the past year, stocks like Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Salesforce.com (CRM), and Netflix (NFLX) have moved up in valuation with wild fervor. They have continued higher and higher and even higher. Pundits calling tops have been proven wrong again and again. Last year, we believed that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (another of the so-called MoMo stocks) was at a top at $40 only to be proven wrong. We started to wonder…what is it about these companies that makes them continue to increase in price at such alarming rates, bucking the trends of the market and other companies.
Its all about growth. Momentum stocks move at such significant rates because the underlying company grows at such significant rates. The issue for market makers is trying to find what price these stocks are worth. Trying to find the value of these stocks is difficult because these companies are growing at inconsistently high rates.

One of my most aching family history research questions comes from a desire to know if my great-grandparents knew each other in their home islands or if they did not meet until after migrating to Panama. So many questions: Did they grow up in the same town? Did they marry in the Caribbean or in Panama? Heck, did they marry at all? Did they travel to the isthmus together or separately? Were they truly in love or were their relationships more a result of circumstance or convenience…or maybe even coercion? Two sets of great-grands from Barbados, one set from St. Lucia, and another from Martinique; I'm sure at least one of their stories has an element of at least one of those. But I don't know yet.

Gooooolazo! Panamanian Records for Adele and Francois
Early on the morning of June 12th I stepped into a long line to check in for my flight with the Panamanian airline COPA. I was surprised the flight was so full. The only business COPA does out of LAX is a daily back-and-forth between Los Angeles and Panama City, so I was fairly puzzled as to why there were so many people and so few of them were Latin Americans. I mean, it's not the holidays, it's not tourist season, in fact, it's rainy season! What I failed to realize was that June 12, 2014 was the first day of something that's kind of a BFD in every other country in the world, the FIFA World Cup. I quickly learned the three guys in front of me and the two guys in back of me, and many of the other passengers, were headed to Brazil via Panama. Continue reading
Helping Hands
As 2012 came to a close little did I know that Luis, who found my great-grandmother Adele's birth record, enlisted the help of his friend David to find tons of 19th and early 20th century records for Cadignans in and around Le Francois, Martinique. Luis had met David, a French man of West Indian descent who is apparently very familiar with the records, when he was doing his own Martinique research. Around New Year's I received several messages from the both of them with links to various birth, death, and marriage records for many Cadignans and Vallees and their spouses. I'm still trying to sort through all of it so I can get it straight in my head and my PAF database.
Luis and David also pointed me to a family tree posted by another genealogist that is based on these records and, I presume, the actes d'indivualite. It starts with Marie Louise, my sixth great-grandmother, and extends for several generations. My direct family line ends with Adele, who disappeared from the Martinique document trail when she left for Panama, never to return.
As I sort through the records I will start posting the images and discussing what they tell us. More to come!
In the Margins
The actes d'individualite have turned out to be gifts that keep on giving. Once I was able to identify Augustin as my direct Cadignan ancestor (see here and here) I went back to the actes and found his entry, number 559. Without even being able to read the French handrwriting there were two things that caught my attention. First, there was a long note written in the margin that all the zooming in the world could not help me to begin to decipher. Second, there were actually two actes d'individualite for Augustin. They were both numbered 559 and they both had a long note written in the margin. At first I thought the good people at the Patrimoines Martiniquais must have saved and posted two copies of the same scanned image in their online archives – a simple mistake. But after toggling between the two a couple of times it became obvious that they were written by two different hands and were placed in different areas of the page in relation to the margins, upper and lower corners, and so on. These entries were clearly scanned from two different pages. You can see the undeniable differences in the images below.
Though I couldn't read the margin notes I could tell that the main text of the record seemed to be the same in both versions. If the notes in the margin were also the same, I realized a possible explanation could be that one of these records was hand-copied from the other as a backup.
Since I had a hard time making out the writing in the margins I again enlisted the help of my French friend Sylvine. After taking a look at both versions she agreed with my theory. She said that the text of each record was the same, including the margin notes. Those mysterious margin notes read as follows:
Par acte en date du trente janvier mille neuf cent un, inscrit le meme jour, a la mairie du Francois, sous le N#4 (? not sure here),le sieur Cadignan Augustin dit Auguste, dont la naissance est constatee dans l acte ci contre, a contracte mariage avec la demoiselle Desir-Honorine Marie-Herminie, dont mention, l officier de l etat civil.
By this act on January 30, 1901, written on the same day, at Francois' City Hall, under the number 4 (?), Mr. Cadignan Augustin, called Auguste, whose birth was recorded in the record on the side, married Miss Desir-Honorine Marie-Herminie. ~ Officer.
These Martinique record keepers are kind of awesome, aren't they? Not only did they keep two copies of these records, but they added notes in the margins recording another important life event. So my great-great-great-grandfather Augustin married a woman by the name of Marie-Herminie Desir-Honorine. BUT this was well after my great-great grandfather Joseph and my great-grandmother Adele were born, in 1864 and 1893, respectively. This woman is definitely not an ancestor of mine, but it tells us that my third great-grandfather Augustin re-married much later in life, in his early to mid-sixties.
To Speak Their Names
When people ask me what I hope to learn from my family history research there are two things I usually say are particularly important to me. First, like most members of the diaspora, I yearn to know where in Africa my ancestors originated. For at least one ancestor I want to know what tribe they belonged to, the language they spoke, the name they answered to, the exact piece of earth they slept and worked on, and so on. Following from that, I'd also like to know the stories of their descendents that endured slavery. Continue reading
A Closer Look
The discovery of my great-grandmother Adele "Josephine" Cadignan's birth record is perhaps my most exciting find yet because it contains quite a bit of new information, including some that allows me to fill in a few slots farther back in the family tree than I've ever been able to go before. Let's review the most important new facts, line by line: Continue reading
Adele Cadignan's Birth Record
For the 4.5 of you that follow my blog, by now you've become familiar with my pattern. I have little bursts of productivity lasting anywhere from a few days to a few months and then things die down, life or fatigue step in, and I disappear from the blogosphere for a while. Various things have roused me out of my previous genealogy hibernations, usually family trips and/or overwhelming, crippling, self-inflicted guilt. This time it's different.
Another genealogist on the other side of the country came across my blog when he was researching his own ancestral ties to Martinique (you can see the comments from Luis here and here). Luckily for me, genealogists, like all researchers (and like all humans, really) are curious people. He did a little hunting around to see if he could track down my great-grandmother Adele "Josephine" Cadignan…and he did! Continue reading
May Days
This morning when I woke up I did the usual. I opened my laptop and perused the emails that had come in overnight and then went to Facebook and browsed the most recent status updates and posts.

My day was just beginning, but I had been made aware of the anniversaries of two really big ends. Continue reading

Manufacturing decline continues to moderate
Economic activity in the manufacturing sector failed to grow in April for the 15th consecutive month, and the overall economy contracted for the seventh consecutive month, say the nation's supply executives in the latest Manufacturing ISM Report On Business®. However, the manufacturing index for April stands at 40.1 percent, more than the expected 38.6; the March index was 36.9.
In the report issued May 1, Norbert J. Ore, CPSM, C.P.M., chair of the Institute for Supply Management™ Manufacturing Business Survey Committee said, "The decline in the manufacturing sector continues to moderate. After six consecutive months below the 40-percent mark, the PMI, driven by the New Orders Index at 47.2 percent, shows a significant improvement. While this is a big step forward, there is still a large gap that must be closed before manufacturing begins to grow once again. The Customers' Inventories Index indicates that channels are paring inventories to acceptable levels after reporting inventories as 'too high' for eight consecutive months. The prices manufacturers pay for their goods and services continue to decline; however, copper prices have bottomed and are now starting to rise. This is definitely a good start for the second quarter."
The only manufacturing industry reporting growth in April is Miscellaneous Manufacturing. The industries reporting contraction in April — listed in order — are: Printing & Related Support Activities; Primary Metals; Apparel, Leather & Allied Products; Textile Mills; Chemical Products; Furniture & Related Products; Petroleum & Coal Products; Fabricated Metal Products; Transportation Equipment; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Plastics & Rubber Products; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Paper Products; Machinery; Computer & Electronic Products; and Nonmetallic Mineral Products.

Do I in fact have HIV?Oct 28, 2012 I am pregnant and had lab work completed at my first prenatal visit. My ELISA test came back repeatedly reactive and my Western Blot was indeterminate. I then had a second test performed. My Dr informed me today that I am HIV positive. I'm a little confused because my result for my western blot still reads "Indeterminate." My P24, P40, and P55 all came back reactive and my P51 was indeterminate. I'm a little confused as to whether or not I in fact have HIV or if my test was truly "Indeterminate". Any answers you can give me would be extremely helpful!! Thanks:) |
Response from Dr. HolodniyThe western blot pattern is not the typical pattern we see, and the bands that are positive on your test, would equate to an indeterminate and not positive result. You don't indicate the time interval between the repeat tests and whether the repeat tests both included a western blot test and this pattern was consistent or not. Since not all the bands are positive on the western blot, repeating it again could provide some further information as to whether additional bands are becoming positive. A more specific test like a HIV viral load or HIV DNA test could be helpful here. | ||||||||||

text: International News AIDS Deaths Could Be Cut by 28 Million by 2030, Researchers SayNovember 28, 2006 Preventing new HIV infections and expanding the distribution of antiretrovirals (ARVs) could cut global AIDS deaths from an estimated 117 million by 2030 to 89 million, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. "What happens in the future depends very much on what the international community does now," said Dr. Colin Mathers, who co-authored the report with Dejan Loncar. The report analyzed data from more than 100 countries and is an update of mortality projections made a decade ago, which assumed global infections would begin decreasing around the year 2000. Instead, AIDS is on track to become a leading cause of death worldwide. "It will be increasingly hard to sustain treatment programs unless we can turn off the tap of new HIV infections," said Dr. Richard Hays, epidemiology professor at London's School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

As a man thinketh
I believe this is old English.
Student or Learner
what is it called in english when words end with 'eth' e.g. thinketh and why is it used?
As a man thinketh
I believe this is old English.
so what would you say instead of that now.would it just be 'thinks'?
so it was used before that doctor johnson or whatever invented the dictionary? what kind of comment would you make upon coming across that whilst analysing text?
I'm sure you've heard of "thou" before. Here's an explanation from this very website, under "Archaic Language":
"Words and phrases that were used regularly in a language, but are now less common are archaic. Such words and phrases are often used deliberately to refer to earlier times. For instance, the pronoun 'thou', which is very rarely used nowadays is an archaism, which is sometimes used to suggest biblical language or a dialect."
I firmly believe that "eth" as in:
"As a man thinketh"
is archaic English.
Yes I would say "As a man thinks."
I think you are referring to Dr. Samuel Johnson. I'm afraid I don't have the expertise but I doubt the publication of the dictionary had the most impact on the disappearance of archaic English expressions.
I would be curious to know around what time "thou" and other archaisms disappeared from the English language.
I don't know where to start researching about when exactly archaic words disappeared from the English Langauge.
Do you think it had something to do with Caxton's printing press even though that was around the 1400s.
I'm afraid that question's unanswerable. New words are being introduced all the time, and old ones are dying out. The ones that die out often leave a trace (in fixed collocations - of which there are thousands of examples: "hale and hearty" for example [meaning "healthy] - the phrase lives on, but the word "hale" - on its own - is not current). At what stage can anyone say a word like 'hale' has disappeared? - it still occurs in current speech, and a decent dictionary will document the collocation 'hale and hearty'.
Printing technology may well have had something to do with the spread of the "-eth" verb ending. Such verb endings were typical of southern dialects (of English), and it's possible (if not probable - hmm, there's grist* for a research thesis) that the places that were the centres of printing (particularly London) tended to favour the linguistic traits typical of "their" dialects.
Dictionaries such as Online Etymology Dictionary can give you an idea (not, of course, infallible) of the first usage, but only research in corpuses [databases full of text examples] can give an idea of the last (or, rather, they help recognize a dying trend). This sort of research is patchy, and usually concentrates on one field of writing - or a small range of fields in a necessarily restricted period (restricted by the dates of the material in the corpus). Experts are people who know more and more about less and less, so while there may be people who can say "this word was no longer used by the end of the eighteenth century in legal judgments" I would be very surprised if anyone could ever say "this word disappeared at this point".
* Another word that's almost died out, though people like me are doing their best to keep it alive - it's probably related to the verb "grind" and refers to the gritty stuff that formed the basis of the flour-making process. It's died out (virtually, if not completely) in the concrete/physical sense, but is still used figuratively to mean anything that helps to start off or form the basis of an enterprise (such as research or a discussion).

Levant Hotel
The 25-room Levant has ocean views in every direction and is filled with family heirlooms.
Levant Hotel
Corfu, Greece 49100
011-30/26610-94230 - Levant Hotel website
About this Hotel
Price From $105
The Doukakis family can't take credit for discovering the stellar vantage point at the top of the 935-foot-high Pelekas hill where, in 1990, they built the 25-room Levant Hotel. Kaiser Wilhelm, who summered in this part of Corfu 110 years ago, used to picnic on the rocky observatory (now known as the Kaiser's Throne) just in front of the building site. What the Doukakis clan can claim: the good sense to put down roots in a spot that has ocean views in every direction. Still, the family didn't neglect their hotel's interiors. Its sitting areas are filled with heirlooms—wooden chaise longues, antique china, and portraits of the Kaiser—and stately, wrought-iron bed frames anchor the guest rooms. (To get a sea view, ask for an odd-numbered room on the first floor, or an even-numbered room on the second.) Most days, Mr. Doukakis sits at the bar, teaching guests Greek phrases. As for Mrs. Doukakis, she's everywhere at once: sweeping leaves from the geraniums, shooing away cats that wander up from the village, and managing the kitchen of their restaurant, Sunset. "I have two cooks, but I oversee them all the time," she says, adding, "I'm old-fashioned." With that kind of dedication, it's no wonder the dining room draws such a regular crowd. The wide terrace invites guests to linger over dishes like pastitsada (spicy pasta) and bourdeto (fish stew) until the sky turns from blue to gold over the ocean each evening. Any of the family members can give you directions to three spectacular beaches, all within a 10-minute drive: Kontogialos and Glyfada have deck chairs for rent and tavernas right on the sand; and for those looking to leave without tan lines, Myrtiotissa is frequented by nudists who camp out scandalously close to the whitewashed chapel next to the shore.

Wolverine Airsoft SMP HPA Electro Pneumatic Engine – Coming Soon – AirSplat On Demand
Wolverine SMP Airsoft HPA Engine – Coming Soon!
Check out More Coming Soon Items at AirSplat!
The SMP is a drop in electro-pneumatic cylinder unit which fits into an existing gearbox. It utilizes a direct solenoid fired mechanism which reduces the number and complexity of parts. While others have experimented with direct solenoid fired designs with limited success, the key is the Wolverine Airsoft springless imbalanced poppet design. This design is currently in the process of being patented.
This system has a variety of advantages:
-Engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the USA!
-One moving part (excluding the solenoid valve)
-Reduced number of critical seals
-Improved air efficiency over comparable systems
-Wide range of operating pressures (40-125psi)
-Improved cross platform compatibility
-Reduced cost due to significantly lower parts count
-True open bolt design (rear biased nozzle gives instant trigger response with no first shot dry fire)
-Safety: while sufficiently high velocities can be achieved to satisfy most every need on the airsoft field, unnecessarily high and potentially dangerous velocities are not easily attainable using an SMP system.

Ill try to catch these guys if its possible....no biggie though. Enjoyed their opening set for Green Day back in 05
Ill try to catch these guys if its possible....no biggie though. Enjoyed their opening set for Green Day back in 05
Upcoming Shows:
Little Dragon/SOFI TUKKER: 4/13 @ Pappy & Harriet's
Coachella 2017: 4/14-16 @ Empire Polo Fields
Metallica: 6/18 @ Soldier Field
Yeah, I managed to catch them at the Wiltern. The crowd was the worst I'd ever seen for a JEW show. Remind me to never wait to purchase tickets and get stuck in the Mezzanine again. But they played about 5 songs off Invented. Some I really dig like Evidence, Stop, Cut, and the title track is awesome.
The way I see it, it's their weakest record yet. I for one think they're more poppy sound that took off on CTL was great, but I think they went a bit too far on this one. I'm not one to judge they're choice or your interest, so I'll just say, it's my least favorite.
The set in October was the longest I'd seen. Nearly 2 hours. Badass.
"It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge"
Made me laugh out loud. I'm pretty sure you've never listened to Clarity and Our Love to Admire back to back. I know their music is miles different and appeals to different audiences, but can't you see that Interpol is basically dead creatively? They haven't made meaningful music since Antics.
As for Invented, it grows on me every time I listen to it... At this point by no means a disappointing JEW album, but a great addition to 2010 music. The female backing vocals are beautiful. My fav track is "Invented" (On the Interpol album, prob "Try it On").
Jimmy Eat World has been one of my favorite bands of the past decade, for sure. I've always said Clarity was my favorite album, period. Of anything ever made that I have heard. I've maintained that throughout the years but now I think I have to downgrade it to more that it was lifechanging for me, in that it changed the way I listen to music. They single-handedly opened the door for me to this entire world of amazing music I listen to every day now. Before Clarity, I didn't know anything except top 40 shit. It hit me on such a deep level that I'll always be indebted to them. In 2002 I got to see them for the first time, and met them all and had them sign my Clarity CD, and I felt complete after that. Two years ago, I got to see them on their Clarity tour and it was fantastic. I've seen them probably around ten times now and they ABSOLUTELY deliver every single time.
Clarity, Bleed American, and Futures are fantastic. Chase This Light was decent, but I haven't even listened to Invented. I actually forgot they put out a new album. Not so sure I want to check it out, based on this thread.
They are one of the best pop-rock bands over the past 20 years for sure. I can't guarantee I'll make their set since I've seen them so many times before, so it'll depend on who they're up against, but I also have to add - you'd be surprised how many Goldenvoice employees LOVE Jimmy Eat World. It's pretty awesome. No surprise at all that they're on the lineup.
It makes me really happy that there are so many positive posts about Jimmy Eat World. When I saw their name on the poster I expected a lot of hate. I'm really glad that people can at least respect what Jimmy Eat World is and what they have done
This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
As another Arizona boy I definitely have a soft spot for Jimmy Eat World. The timing was just perfect for me, Bleed American came out when I was a senior in high school...that whole album was beloved by me and every single one of my friends. Growing up in AZ, it was hard not to be a fan. They wrote really catchy songs, are great, friendly guys and go out of their way to support the local scene to the max.
"Ninth and Ash on a Tuesday Night"....anyone who spent time living in Tempe has gotta love it.
The first "festival" experience I ever had was Edgefest right around when the Bleed American material came out....obviously in retrospect that festival was a joke when compared to Coachella, but seeing Jimmy Eat World's set at that festival made a big impact on me at the time. They were great.
Admittedly, I can see why most Coachella-goers would brush them off at first listen....I would argue though that they have more depth than your average power-pop/rock band.
I'd like to check them out but with all the other acts going on Sunday, I'm sure there's gonna be some higher priority act somewhere. Otherwise I'll try to catch a few songs. I'm thinking midday Main stage act or Outdoor at sunset.
Random list of shows I'll never remember to edit
For your health
I haven't even listened to their latest stuff so I can't comment on that. But I saw them once when they played for free at my college, and I was actually pleasantly surprised. They are not going to blow minds or do anything earth shattering, and they aren't going to make anybody's favorite sets of the weekend. But they will be high-energy and fun, and worth checking out if there is nothing else you want to see or if you want to wait through them to see the next act. Poppy? Guilty pleasure? Sure. But they aren't going to bomb. Plus Bleed American was my favorite CD for a month back in freshman year of high school, so I'm sure it would be a nice little nostalgia thing if I have nothing else better to see.
oh man i used to love these guys when i was really young. I'm definitley going to go just to satisfy myself for not seeing them like 7 years ago. I haven't listened to any of their releases since Futures but im down to rock out to some songs I used to listen to all the time
In my opinion Invented is better than Chase This Light and Futures. Coffee and Cigarettes is a great song. Spent New Year's Eve with JEW, can't wait to see them at Coachella. Midday main sounds about right to me.
When I saw them in October they played material from every album (including clarity), but this was in AZ (in their hometown) on Halloween, and they played a 2 hr set. So i'm not sure what they will do with a 55 min set at Coachella.
This ain't no middle of the mall shit.
Do you like Jimmy Eat World? I've been a big Jimmy Eat World fan ever since the release of their 1996 album, Static Prevails. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. I think Sweetness was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to "The Middle". In this song, the band addresses the problems of abusive political authority. It is the most moving pop song of the 1990s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. This is "Sweetness", a song so catchy that most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
Hey OP!
haha, i have no idea what jimmy eat world is doing at coachella....but whatever they will likely have the worst slot of all time...
They normally play tunes from Clarity (Lucky Denver Mint, Your New Aesthetic, For Me This is Heaven, Goodbye Sky Harbor) and sometimes one off Static Prevails (usually Thinking That's All or Claire).
I'm also glad to see so much Coachella love for these guys. I thought they would be nothing but a joke to everyone, but it seems we've got some JEW lovers onboard. I still think Invented is a disappointment (and that's really hard for me to admit), but I know they still rock live and am looking forward to their set.
"It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge"
I have never heard a song from Static Prevails the 3 times I have seen them. Fail.
go to bamboozle
if I crowd surf or mosh to these guys, will I get thrown out of 'chella?
I haven't listened to them since Futures, but the fact is, they've been doing this for almost 20 years and they've always been solid. They should have been there a long time ago. If you don't like them, fine, but it's silly to write them off.
This thread is doing Good Work.
Too many hipster ninnies are going to sleep on JEW just because they've had some hit radio success. It is their loss. Clarity is better than any grokdamned chillwave / lofi / fuzzcore / whatever crap Pitchfork has been pushing the last ten years.
Just Say No to eurotrash nonsense. Rock n' roll will set you free.

Damien Finot, 40, doesn't take shortcuts. To showcase the prototypes of his custom-made trunks, the sales executive likes to invite clients to Paris' Hotel de Crillon, where he displays the leather-lined, handmade cognac, cigar and Champagne cases in a room furnished like a 17th-century French parlor. Finot co-founded T.T. Trunks at the beginning of 2009 with business partner Julien Trossat, an LVMH veteran, after determining that there was a hole in the market for one-of-a-kind cases.
Priced from $13,000, the Moroccan-made trunks–created with fabrics and leathers from Europe–are for the type of person who considers
Finot says that 2010 will be the company's first real test; he hopes to be profitable by the end of next year. The duo already has both private and corporate clients, including a hotel in Chicago and a Miami multimillionaire. Even in tough economic times (sales of luxury goods, worldwide, are projected to slip this year by 8%, according to consulting firm Bain & Co.), many consumers still want one-of-a-kind pieces, industry experts say.
"Companies who position themselves to do one thing well are going to flourish and thrive in this new economy," says Patricia Pao, founder of The Pao Principle, a New York-based strategy consultancy that specializes in the fashion, luxury and beauty industries. "This strategy is going to enable a company like T.T. Trunks to build awareness, excitement and, importantly, its brand. Doing one thing well is how luxury goods companies like Hermes (saddles) and Louis Vuitton (steamer trunks) got their start." A 200-year head start, but the rule of launching a business with a single, superior product hasn't changed in that time.
While Finot comes from a sales background and Trossat from marketing, each claims an equal stake in product development. Their latest idea is a temperature-regulated chocolate trunk in which to present truffles. Eventually, the duo wants to launch a luggage collection under the T.T. Trunks moniker.
Here, Finot discusses personal style, which reveals his (unsurprising) penchant for the finer things in life.
Forbes: How would you define your style?
Finot: Understated but–ultimately–luxurious.
Favorite thing to wear?
A Paul Smith suit.
Essential item for a weekend getaway?
My silver corkscrew.
Signature cologne?
Burberry The Beat Pour Homme.
What are you reading?
Kundera. When you read his work, life makes sense.
Favorite place?
The bar at George V [Paris' Four Seasons Hotel] around 7 p.m.
What are you listening to?
Everything from Daft Punk to Franz Ferdinand.
What's worth splurging on?
A bottle of Romanée Conti 1976 [a famous Burgundy wine].
Dream vacation spot?
Southern Morocco on the northern tip of the Sahara. It's the beginning of no man's land and surrounded by dunes. All I need is a berber tent to rest my head and a stocked Champagne trunk.
Favorite place to shop?
Saint Germain-des-Prés in Paris.
What do you wear to feel powerful?
My grandfather's Breguet; no ordinary hand-me-down.

Got the Meermin split toe cordovans today. Fit very well (10E in Park Avenue, 9UK for the Meermin). The finishing/polishing (whatever you call it, I'm not a shoe guy) is alright, a little uneven. The construction seems solid. The only really minor issue I have is that the stitching at the split is a bit off center on one of them (maybe 10 degrees). Still, I'm pleased (would have been more pleased if I didn't have to pay an extra hundred in customs duties).
They are darker than they appear in the picture, as well as possessing richer color depth. I'm pleased on both counts.

White House concerned as unrest spreads to Odessa
WASHINGTON - The White House says it's "extremely concerned" by the deteriorating situation in southern Ukraine.
The U.S. and Europe have been focused on eastern Ukraine, near Russia, where pro-Russian separatists have been occupying buildings for weeks. But the unrest has spread to Ukraine's southern port of Odessa, where Ukraine's government is seeking to re-establish control.
White House spokesman Jay Carney says the possible loss of Odessa underscores the need for an immediate de-escalation to the crisis. He's suggesting Russia still needs to follow through with its part of a diplomatic deal to de-escalate.
Riots in Odessa led to 46 deaths Friday when a government building was set on fire. Carney says Ukrainian authorities should launch a full investigation. He says the U.S. mourns with Ukrainians the heartbreaking loss of life.

Mason::Request - Mason Request Class
$m->abort (...) $m->comp (...) etc.
Mason::Request represents a single request for a page, and is the access point for most Mason features not provided by syntactic tags.
A Mason request is created when you call $interp->run
, or in a web environment, for each new web request. A new (sub-)request is also created when you call visit or go on the current request.
Inside a component you can access the current request object via the global $m
. Outside of a component, you can use the class method Mason::Request-
The methods comp, comp_exists, construct, go, load, and visit take a component path argument. If the path does not begin with a '/', then it is made absolute based on the current component path (using rel_to_abs).
Component paths are like URL paths, and always use a forward slash (/) as the separator, regardless of what your operating system uses.
These parameters would normally be passed in an initial hashref to $interp->run
, $m->visit
, or $m->go
Indicates where to send the page output. If out_method is a scalar reference, output is appended to the scalar. If out_method is a code reference, the code is called with the output string. For example, to send output to a file called "mason.out":
open(my $fh, ">", "mason.out); ... out_method => sub { $fh->print($_[0]) }
When out_method
is unspecified, the output can be obtained from the Mason::Result object returned from $interp->run
Ends the current request, finishing the page without returning through components.
is implemented by throwing an Mason::Exception::Abort
object and can thus be caught by eval
. The aborted
method is a shortcut for determining whether a caught error was generated by abort
Returns true or undef indicating whether the specified $err
was generated by abort
. If no $err
was passed, uses $@
In this Try::Tiny code, we catch and process fatal errors while letting abort
exceptions pass through:
try { code_that_may_fail_or_abort() } catch { die $_ if $m->aborted($_); # handle fatal errors... };
Add a code reference to be executed when the request is cleaned up.
This method is syntactic sugar for calling clear_buffer()
and then abort()
. If you are aborting the request because of an error (or, in a web environment, to do a redirect), you will often want to clear the buffer first so that any output generated up to that point is not sent to the client.
Execute the code, capturing and returning any Mason output instead of outputting it. e.g. the following
my $buf = $m->capture(sub { $m->comp('/foo') });
is equivalent to
my $buf = $m->scomp('/foo');
Clears the Mason output buffer. Any output sent before this line is discarded. Useful for handling error conditions that can only be detected in the middle of a request.
clear_buffer is, of course, thwarted by flush_buffer.
Creates a new instance of the component designated by path, and calls its main
method. params, if any, are passed to the constructor.
The <& &>
tag provides a shortcut for $m->comp
Makes the component path absolute if necessary, and calls Interp comp_exists to determine whether a component exists at that path.
Returns the current component class. This is determined by walking up the Perl caller() stack until the first Mason::Component subclass is found.
This class method returns the Mason::Request
currently in use. If called when no Mason request is active it will return undef
Constructs and return a new instance of the component designated by path. params, if any, are passed to the constructor. Throws an error if path does not exist.
Clears the output buffer and tries the current request again, but acting as if the previously chosen page component(s) do not exist.
For example, if the following components exist:
/news/sports.mc /news/dhandler.mc /dhandler.mc
then a request for path /news/sports
will initially resolve to /news/sports.mc
. A call to $m->decline
would restart the request and resolve to /news/dhandler.mc
, a second $m->decline
would resolve to /dhandler.mc
, and a third would throw a "not found" error.
Applies one or more filters to a string or to a coderef that returns a string.
my $filtered_string = $m->filter($.Trim, $.NoBlankLines, $string);
Flushes the main output buffer. Anything currently in the buffer is sent to the request's out_method.
Note that anything output within a $m->scomp
or $m->capture
will not have made it to the main output buffer, and thus cannot be flushed.
Performs an internal redirect. Clears the output buffer, runs a new request for the given path and args, and then aborts when that request is done.
The first argument may optionally be a hashref of parameters which are passed to the Mason::Request
See also visit.
Returns the Interp object associated with this request.
Makes the component path absolute if necessary, and calls Interp load to load the component class associated with the path.
Returns a Log::Any
logger with a log category specific to the current component. The category for a component "/foo/bar" would be "Mason::Component::foo::bar".
The notes()
method provides a place to store application data between components - essentially, a hash which persists for the duration of the request.
notes($key, $value)
stores a new entry in the hash; notes($key)
returns a previously stored value; and notes()
without any arguments returns a reference to the entire hash of key-value pairs.
Consider storing this kind of data in a read-write attribute of the page component.
Add the given string to the Mason output buffer. This happens implicitly for all content placed in the main component body.
Returns the page component originally called in the request.
Returns the remainder of the request path beyond the path of the page component, with no leading slash. e.g. If a request for '/foo/bar/baz' resolves to "/foo.mc", the path_info is "bar/baz". For an exact match, it will contain the empty string (never undef), so you can determine whether there's a path_info with
if ( length($m->path_info) )
Converts a component path to absolute form based on the current component, if it does not already begin with a '/'.
Returns the original hashref of arguments passed to the request, e.g. via $interp->run
Returns the original path passed to the request, e.g. in $interp->run
Like comp, but returns the component output as a string instead of printing it. (Think sprintf versus printf.)
See also capture.
Performs a subrequest with the given path and args, with output being sent to the current output buffer.
The first argument may optionally be a hashref of parameters which are passed to the Mason::Request
constructor. e.g. to capture the output of the subrequest:
$m->visit({out_method => \my $buffer}, ...);
See also go.
These methods are not intended to be called externally, but may be useful to modify with method modifiers in plugins and subclasses. Their APIs will be kept as stable as possible.
A place to perform cleanup duties when the request finishes or dies with an error, even if the request object is not immediately destroyed. Includes anything registered with add_cleanup.
Constructs the page component of class $compc, with hashref of constructor arguments $args.
Given a top level $request_path, return a corresponding component path or undef if none was found. Search includes dhandlers and index files. See Mason::Manual::RequestDispatch.
This method is called on the output buffer right before it is sent to its final destination. $outref is a reference to the output string; the method can modify it as desired.
Runs the request with $request_path and args, where the latter can be either a hashref or a hash. This is generally called via << $interp->run >>.
Execute the given $code with the current selected filehandle ('print') tied to the Mason output stream. You could disable the filehandle selection by overriding this to just call $code.

Thread: 2007 Mock Draft Trends
Re: (please sticky) 2007 Mock Draft Trends
I know that i am higher on Rolle then most. I think he is a borderline number one, meaning a top 20-30 CB. For the number two on the number one defense, that makes him a bit of a liability, as basically every other starter last year was top 10 at their position. CB's are made to look like weaknesses on every team. That's how the rules are.
Not to mention that Rolle is handcuffed to this team Salary cap wise. He will be starting this year, and on the team next year. I see more potential in the young guys. I think Ogelsby or Prude could have started in a pinch last year, and been a step down, but been solid by NFL standards, not Raven's standerads, think Baxter.
Because of that, and the LB/DE post above, it's how I think right or wrong.
Re: (please sticky) 2007 Mock Draft Trends
If he was that good then he wouldn't have been shown up as much as he was last year. He's not a bad #2 but he's also not a borderline #1 either. He's not got top end speed for tracking guys deep (Braylon Edwards destroyed him last year for one), he doesn't have good recovery speed on double moves if he gets beat and he's not particularly good at bumping guys of routes. He's adequate at everything, but is also beatable in almost every part of his game and someone that I don't think will be starting in 2008 and will only start this year because those behind him are merely nickels and he's just about passable for this year.
For the top 20/30 CB claim, I'm bored and looking to avoid doing reading for my dissertation so here goes, 30 CBs I'd have above Rolle:
1) Nnamdi Asomogha
2) Champ Bailey
3) Ronde Barber
4) Leigh Bodden
5) Sheldon Brown
6) Nate Clements
7) DeAngelo Hall
8) Al Harris
9) Quentin Jammer
10) Adam Jones (On field, obviously wouldn't have him cos he's a jailbird)
11) Brian Kelly
12) Ken Lucas
13) Richard Marshall
14) Rashean Mathis
15) Chris McAllister
16) Terrence McGee
17) Mike McKenzie
18) Terrence Newman
19) Dunta Robinson
20) Asante Samuel
21) Lito Shepperd
22) Marcus Trufant
23) Nathan Vasher
24) Fabian Washington
25) Antoine Winfield
26) Charles Tillman
Hmmmm, actually, that's only 26 (off the top of my head), but it doesn't include guys like Antonio Cromartie and Carlos Rogers etc. who played at a similar level to Rolle this year but are only going to get better from here rather than slower and worse. In addition I wouldn't call all of those guys #1's either, calling Samari Rolle a borderline #1 is beyond a stretch IMO.
Re: (please sticky) 2007 Mock Draft Trends
You obviously put no credence into the position we put our corners in. We tended to have them both in man coverage with Ed Reed freelancing all over the place. They still helped the Raven's to the 6th best pass defense in yards and touchdowns, yet you have McCallister at 15 and Rolle behind PENALTY MACHINE Carlos Rogers. If you watched more then a couple of Skins games with a skins fan, you would have heard them cursing at the TV at him EVERY GAME. The kid looked lost. To me, Rolle looked no worse then what I saw from the bottom 5 or 6 on your list, but I certainly wouldn't disagree with one in the "top" 20. I stand by my POV, you are welcome to stand on yours obviously as well, but your inclusion of Rogers as an "alternate" makes me inclined to think that if we saw all 16 games of these other guys we would feel blessed to have the guys we do.
Re: (please sticky) 2007 Mock Draft Trends
Rogers is a stretch but he's got the physical talents to get better (deep speed, recovery speed). Rolle doesn't, Rolle's has all but lost his top end speed and losing his closing speed.
That list isn't in order either, it's alphabetical for the most part.

Re: 2007 Mock Draft Trends
Blalock still the most popular which I hate with a passion.
Kalil I'm liking more and more as a pick though.

Re: 2007 Mock Draft Trends
I read it too.
I think Blalock or Beekman are much better fits for the greater good ofo our OLine then Staley or Kalil. I don't want more dainty passblockers, I want some mean roadgraders for the right side of our line.

Re: 2007 Mock Draft Trends
I was doing the daily perusal of web sources and a few things concern me.
New England appears to have a desire to pick a right Tackle so appears like they may snap up whatever tackle prospect the Ravens may use whether that be Staley or Blalock. NE's front office is also fairly good so that really really concerns me.
Big rumors about Tampa trading up in the draft (ie with detroit) to make sure they can grab CJ. Now Detroit needs to pull a San Diego with the Vick-Tomlinson swap and grab some picks in return. Wait, it's Matt Millen. Those picks won't amount to anything.
Re: 2007 Mock Draft Trends
Above is a link to mock draft I've found backing up my theory that Levi Brown could fall to #29. If this happened I'd absolutely love it and the DJ Boyer isn't just some draft hack who's created his own website and thinks he knows what he's talking about. He's worked as an NFL Scout with a bunch of teams and hits the scouting trail every year with NFL scouts.
I still think this is a very real possibility of happening, the biggest hurdle being Kansas City at #23 who need tackles worse than we needed WRs a couple of years ago.

Re: 2007 Mock Draft Trends
Yup, I actually include that particular mock in my pooling. Levi Brown actually received "votes" in two mock this week and that has roughly been his average throughout the tallying I have been doing.
Levi Brown would be a coup if he plays close to the potential listed though it seems that some might view him as boom or bust, whatever that means. I think it's just someone making an excuse about being completely unsure how a player will react to the NFL.
I'd be very excited if something like that were to happen and if the Ravens are that high on him, they may go up and grab him. That's happened several times in draft history when the team considers later players a big drop off in talent.
Trades up include Anthony Weaver and Haloti Ngata.

Growing up into your thirties is not only hard to do, it's not that fun either, especially when you still like to party like you did in your twenties. But life circumstances can sometimes force you down the path to adulthood, and Martin Lund's "The Almost Man" navigates that journey with both humor and drama.
Led by Henrik Rafalesen, the story follows a 35-year-old man (also named Henrik), who is quickly forced to take on a real job and move into a duplex when he finds out his girlfriend Tone is pregnant. But as he feels the pressure to mature, he takes out his frustration in surprising and hilariously inappropriate ways. And in this exclusive clip, we see the sweeter side of Henrik, who dances with Tone, before getting the odd request to do it without irony.
Winner of the Crystal Globe and Best Actor awards at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2012, "The Almost Man" opens in New York City at the Village East Cinema on Friday, August 1st courtesy of Big World Pictures. Watch below.

Guvar or clusterbeans are so versatile, they complement any recipe. One such dish I have learned to make from my mother-in-law is Guvar with sesame seeds. Sesame seeds lend a nutty flavor to these guvar and is perfect as an accompaniment to Phulkas or rice. This is also one of the easiest curries to make, especially if you enlist the help of the pressure cooker!
Guvar- chopped, either fresh or frozen,
1 heaping tbsp of Sesame seeds,
2 cloves of garlic, chopped, 1 clove of garlic- shredded
Olive oil, asafoetida, turmeric, chili powder, salt, a pinch of sugar, ajwain seeds, a little water.
In a pressure cooker, heat some oil, add ajwain seeds, chopped garlic and the asafoetida, when this sizzles, add some turmeric powder and chili powder. Now add the sesame seeds,and give them a quick stir. Add the chopped Guvar, salt and sugar and the shredded garlic. This will give it that extra kick. Give it another good stir befor adding some water. Don't add too much, just add enough to create some steam so that the guvar doesn't burn on the bottom. Put the lid on the cooker and let cook for at least 2 whistles.
Serve hot with Phulka Rotis and enjoy.

Based music's go-to producer, Clams Casino, will officially make a name for himself outside of album credits this summer with the release of an EP, Rainforest. It will feature brand-new instrumentals from the New Jersey resident, who linked with director Jamie Harley to create visuals for lead single "Gorilla." And he's juxtaposed the thudding monster of a beat against smoky footage of David Copperfield's most flamboyant era. It's an interesting choice, though most certainly an appropriate one as the track burns and builds with Copperfield's stunt.
The EP is due out June 27 on Tri Angle.
