I'm not trying to feed the controversey here. I just have a question.
Suppose I am Billy Skriptoid, and I have fax software, print to fax in my well-known productivity suite, or a third
party "make-my-computer-a-fax-machine" plug-in. Because I am 12 and I read it on the interwebs, I am going to take a
malformed JPEG and send it to my arch adversary (the kid in my class that likes the same girl I do). Since I know he
will receive the fax via his computer and open it using the same well-known productivity suite that I use (because it
came with the machines when our moms bought them for us), I believe that he will now be subject to the vulnerability
listed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-028.
If I understand your discussion correctly, this won't work because the image is not sent as a JPEG. It is imaged in my
own system, then translated into analog output that is sent through POTS (whether or not the target is using VOIP),
then received on the other end as analog data which is then re-modulated into digital data and used to create an image
of the entire page that I faxed and not, as I may have supposed, a document file with seperately formatted components.
So not only have I not avenged myself against little Timmy down the street, I have endangered my own system because
mine is the only one in the transaction that actually read the malformed JPEG.
So, am I following a logical path, or is there some factor which I have neglected?

DTN Midday Livestock Comments 10/24 11:51
Live Cattle Futures Turn Lower
Early futures support and strong gains in cash cattle markets have had
little impact midday Friday when sharp losses have flooded into the market.
End-of-week positioning and pre report adjustments are leading to moderate to
strong price weakness.
By Rick Kment
DTN Analyst
Moderate to strong pressure has developed through the livestock markets with
cattle futures showing the most pressure with triple-digit losses seen at
midday. The interest based on sharply higher cash cattle prices was short
lived, with traders now moving onto the afternoon cattle on-feed report as well
as end-of-week positioning. Lean hog futures are under pressure although trade
volume has slowed significantly. Corn prices are lower in light trade. December
corn futures are 4 cents per bushel lower. Stock markets are higher in light
trade. The Dow Jones is 88 points higher while Nasdaq is up 17 points.
Light to moderate gains started the Friday trading session, but this support
was unable to hold as the morning continues. Traders quickly gave back early
gains, with most contracts now holding triple digit losses. Even the strong
support in the cash market is not able to keep traders interested through the
end of the session. The focus through the last couple hours of trade has now
quickly moved to the upcoming cattle on feed report as well as prime position
squaring opportunities after setting record high price levels in nearby
contract months. Following sharply higher cash cattle trade in all areas on a
live basis Thursday afternoon, some additional dressed deals are being done at
$265 per cwt. This puts cash trade generally $6 to $7 per cwt over last-week
levels, which is expected to set the tone on cattle being priced for next week.
Beef cut-outs at midday are lower, $1.10 per cwt lower (select) and down $2.39
per cwt (choice) with active movement of 173 total loads reported (77 loads of
choice cuts, 64 loads of select cuts, 22 loads of trimmings, nine loads of
ground beef).
Triple-digit losses are seen in nearby feeder cattle futures midday Friday
despite the complex starting out in positive territory. After the cash market
support seemed to clear the market, traders started to focus on the afternoon
cattle on feed report which is expected to show a slight increase in feeder
cattle placements through the month of September. The fear that a strong bounce
in placements will move the focus over the already well traded fact that
supplies remain tight, and on concerns of an overbought market like seen within
the last couple of weeks. October futures are leading the market lower with
losses near $1.70 per cwt.
Nearby lean hog futures losses have remained narrow despite growing pressure
through early 2015 contracts and further erosion in pork values in the morning
report. The focus across the complex has been put on further fundamental market
weakness although at this point, traders in the December and February contracts
appear to be more focused on position squaring in front of the weekend. The
thinly traded contracts in the fourth quarter of 2015, are showing some
additional price support, but this is not expected to change the overall tone
through the rest of the market. Cash prices are lower on the National Direct
morning cash hog report. The weighted average price lost $1.05 per cwt to
$90.28 per cwt with the range from $78.00 to $90.47 per cwt on 1,782 head
reported sold. Cash prices are unreported due to confidentiality on the Iowa
Minnesota Direct morning cash hog report. The National Pork Plant Report is
reported 172 loads selling as prices falling $2.34 per cwt. Lean hog index for
10/22 is at $102.40 down 1.77, with a projected two-day index of $100.35 down

Origin of Sales Tax?[edit]
When the USA was young, Britain had taxes and made everyone pay them. They noticed that not everyone was paying, so they put sales tax so that people had to pay for whatever they bought. It was an inexcusable action, but they didnt care. Thanks --184.108.40.206 23:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Surely this is the same as VAT or is VAT the european name for it? Either way, both pages need to be looked at. Ed g2s 15:17, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)
According the VAT article they are a variant of conventional sales taxes, I'm not quite clear what the difference is, however. The VAT article also calls Canada's GST, which is locally refered to as a sales tax, a VAT. - SimonP 16:09, Aug 14, 2003 (UTC) neki neki neki neki cute —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 09:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
"Sales taxes are generally regressive, that is, poorer people tend to pay a greater percentage of their income in sales tax than richer people, because they tend to spend a far higher percentage of their income.In some locations, items such as food, clothing, or prescription drugs are exempt from sales taxes ostensibly to alleviate the burden on the poor. Some of these exemptions (such as exemptions for clothing or prescription drugs) actually may make the tax more regressive, since poorer individuals may spend a smaller percentage of their incomes on these items than do richer individuals."
The progressivity of a tax should be measured in whatever is being taxed. A sales tax does not tax a poor person's sales at a higher rate than a rich person's. It is completely flat.
Measuring the progressivity of a sales tax in income is completely arbitrary.
22.214.171.124 12:03, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Measuring the progressivity of a sales tax in income is exactly the definition of progressivity. Please see Regressive tax.
- Rmhermen 14:45, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
- So this article has a lot of flaws in it. But the regressive thing really isn't one of them. That depends on how you measure the regressiveness or progressiveness of a tax. So consider a rich person A and a poor person B. Rich person A makes $100, and poor person B makes $11. Suppose the sales tax is %10. Suppose person A spent $20 on goods subject to a sales tax, and saved the rest. So he payed $2 in tax. Suppose person B spent $10 and paid $1 in tax. So if we measure regressiveness as the share of income a person pays in taxes, then a low earner in this scenario is paying 9% of his wages in tax, and person A is paying only 2% of his wages in tax. Even though the tax rate on goods was supposedly equal, and person A paid more in taxes.
- Debomachine 22:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Rmhermen, measuring the progressivity of a sales tax in income is absolutely NOT the definition of progressivity. The definition that you cite for regressive tax is: "a tax imposed so that the tax rate decreases as the amount to which the rate is applied increases." Income is not "the amount to which the rate is applied".
- Debomachine, the calculation is rate = tax\ base. There is no flexibility so it cannot "depend" on how you figure it. You have three components to this calculation, rate, tax and base. The rate is the tax percentage. The tax is the amount of tax levied. The base is what is being taxed (in the definition, "the amount to which the tax is applied"). Those are the only three components allowed to be used in figuring regressivity or progressivity. You, on the other hand, are adding a fourth component, that being the base of an entirely different tax model, income tax. You are taking the tax applied against sales and, instead of dividing it by sales ("the amount to which the tax is applied") you are dividing it by something (income) to which it is categorically NOT applied. For this reason, as the first poster correctly states, the resulting relationship is entirely arbitrary. You might as well divide the tax by one's shoe size.
- If you want to create a non-arbitrary relationship between sales tax and income, you have to convert the income into the base by defering the unspent portion - which is the part that you are not doing.
- Another way to look at the mistake is to understand that by using the wrong base in the calculation you end up not taxing income yet to be spent - and you have to do that if you want to convert income into the base. That is, all income will eventually be spent - so if you are not going to tax it now, you have to reduce the income by the amount not spent (which brings you back to the amount spent which makes your rate flat again). Conversely, if you are going to tax it now then you have to charge the sales tax to all of the income (which will bring your rate back to flat).
- It is the same calculation as defered taxes on income, like 401(k) contributions in the US. When you contribute to your 401(k), your taxable income is reduced by the contribution amount.
- So if you make $100 and are defering tax on $20 of it (because you made a 401(k) contribution), you are taxed on $80. Then later you will be taxed on the other $20. So if the income tax rate is 25%, you will pay $20 now and $5 later for a total of 25 on 100.
- But if you apply the same logic as your regressive sales tax calculation, you would be ignoring the tax that comes later and say that this person was only taxed $20 (because that's what they paid right now) therefore it is a rate of 20% (and it is obviously not a rate of 20%, it is a rate of 25% - thus the mistake). Effectively, you are saying that the $20 contribution was tax free. But it is not. It will be taxed when it is spent. Just like all the income that you are not taxing (that which was unspent initially) in the mistaken regressive sales tax calculation.
- The mechanics of the sales tax is exactly the same as defered taxes on 401(k) contributions. The income that is not taxed initially is NOT tax free as your calculation asserts. It is tax defered.
- So if you are going to figure its rate, you can tax all of the income now and divide the tax by the income or you can tax just the spending now and divide the tax by the spending. In either case, of course, it will come out to be the same rate because it is a flat rate.
- In the example above, this would be like dividing the 20 by 80 or the 5 by 20 or the 25 by 100. But you cannot divide the 20 by 100 which is what you are doing when you call sales tax regressive.
- Many people make this mistake so it is definitely worth mentioning. But it has to be pointed out that it is based on a mistake in calculations. This is not a matter of opinion. There is nothing controversial about it. Sales tax is flat, by definition. Let's replace the politics with math.
- --184.108.40.206 14:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)concerned mathmetician
- In some sense, it's trickier than that. While tax as a percentage of expenditures is certainly flat, a sales tax (like an income tax, in fact) can become regressive when investment is considered. Consider what happens with a 10% sales tax rate with a person who makes 110$ a year a spends $100 a year. After 10 years he has bought $1000, 91% of what he earned. Then consider someone who makes $150 a year, spends $100 (with $10 tax), and invests $40 (at 5% interest). After 10 years, he will have bought $1000 and saved $528.27, which he can now use to buy $480. In a sense, he has bought 1480/1500=98.7% of what he earned. (edit: 480*1.1=528, which is the correct calculation for sales tax. My point: the interest may be taxed, but taking out the taxes at the beginning can reduce the ability to invest and gain interest).
- Obviously this analysis doesn't consider the time value of money, but when we consider investments like the stock market (which has historically fared a lot better than its risk would imply), the idea still can hold. 188.8.131.52 09:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes Regressivity[edit]
This line of reasoning makes absolutely no sense, people 'always' end up spending their money eventually so sales taxes are flat? There is a direct correlation to income and savings rates, that is the more you make the more you save. If money earned always got spent then who would ever need a will? Sales taxes are regressive, people with millions or billions of dollars keep their money in stock markets, and use it to make other investments they don't spend it in any where near the proportion that those making less money do. The higher your income the more you save & the more you leave for the next generation, and a lot of wealthy families have maintained their wealth for many generations by saving and investing the majority of their income. If you had $100 billion dollars would you spend it all in your life time or would you save and invest the majority of it? The idea that sales taxes are flat is plainly a logical fallacy and should be removed from the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
You didn't understand the argument. What he means is that for a tax to be regressive, the rate of whatever thing is being taxed (consumption in the case, NOT income) decreases as the quantity increases. The only way a sales tax would be regressive is if, for example, when I buy a tomato i get to pay 10 cents of sales tax, but if I buy 100 tomatoes I get to pay 50 cents. As you say, some families have fortunes that are passed along through generations. So, if you insist on making the base always income. A sales tax will be regressive and (therefore detrimental) to someone that makes $20,000 a year but has $5,000,000 million in his bank account over someone that makes $40,000 a year but has no savings. I'd also like to point out that income is only enjoyed once it's consumed. There's no difference in quality of life of two people spending the same amount a year, even if one of the two earns twice as much. - visose
Sales tax or Excise tax?[edit]
Article reads, "In the United States, it is nearly always explicitly added on and not included in the price, a notable exception is sales taxes on gasoline."
Do we want to refer to gasoline excise taxes at the pump in the US as "sales tax"? Thank you. Have Gun, Will Travel 02:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've always known it as an excise. Morphh (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Me too. I see Sales tax has a cleanup tag; I'll probably try giving it a work over (unless you got any other suggestions?). Thanks. Have Gun, Will Travel 17:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC) Actually, sales tax is included at the pump due to the fungible nature of the commodity. No one dispenses the same amount each time, so it's easier to simply tack on the sales tax as the gas is pumped. Technically speaking, the pump price in most states includes BOTH sales tax and a state excise tax, plus the federal excise tax. A dollar amount is the basis of the sales tax, whereas a gallon measure is the basis for the state and federal excise taxes. 8-15-07 --Marc
Why is tax such a big thing, everyone has to pay it; it is "natural."What I think is that it is stupid and unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 23:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Final end user and sales tax coverage[edit]
So how does a sale tax vendor work out if you are the final end user? On a VAT system, everyone pays VAT on all purchases, and businesses can then pay the difference between collected and paid VAT. Under a sales tax, what stops someone from buying a computer for work use - presumably paying no sales tax - and then using it for private use? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs)
- I would hope the jail time and/or the closing of the business when they were caught for tax evasion. Most sales tax systems require detailed record keeping by business, which are audited by the taxing authority. Sales tax laws vary on what can be purchased and how and by what type of company. Small items like a computer may be something easily evaded and is likely an acceptable and expected level of evasion, which would be a minor impact to the tax base. Morphh (talk) 14:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
The first argument would not be using company assets to bypass paying the sales tax as presented. All companies, with the exception of government entities, pay a sales tax for computer purchases unless they are a reseller of said computer and not the end-user. Assuming the the first posting suggests that Company A purchases Brand B computer for company use then that company would have paid at least the state portion of the sales tax and most likely also the locality tax (based on agreements with state/local governements for business/employment establishment). Private use of that same computer would fall under either theft or company policy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 14:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- This point to follow is in regard to the US. Everyone is charged tax unless they present the seller with a resale certificate stating that the product purchased is for resale. (There are additional industry and use specific exemption certificates avilable too). If the buyer purchases computers and some are for resale and some are for internal use, the buyer has the choice of telling the seller which ones are for which purpose and paying the tax on the invoices that are for internal use. Because of the difficulty and confusion this would cause the seller, it is generally not handled it in this way. This is where "Use Tax" comes into play. Every business must be registered to collect and report sales and use tax in any state in which they have a presence (read: physical presence such as an office, warehouse, etc.). If they receive something that does not have tax included on the invoice, they are supposed to calculate the tax due to the state and local municipalities and report and pay it on their monthly sales and use tax return. You are correct in that the state has no way of knowing whether businesses have been paying their use taxes accordingly until they go in and audit the business. Undercompliance is not as rampant as one might think however, because generally speaking most companies fear the threat of an audit and the associated penalty and interest that would be due from a tax underpayment. Large corporations are continuously being audited by the states in which they operate; as soon as one sales and use tax audit ends, a new one begins. The statute of limitation for how far back a state can look for underpayments is generally 3 years in the US, although a few states have longer statutes of limitation.Agiletax (talk) 13:03, 10 September 2008 (UTC)Agiletax
sales tax[edit]
it is the extra amount charged on the sale and purchase of goods and services it is also said that value added tax means vat and the other form is g.s.t it means general sales tax with two aspacts it can be calculated on purchases and other on sales for sales it is output tax and forpurchases it will be inputtax///////////// —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 09:52, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Types of Sales Tax[edit]
I removed "retail transaction taxes" from the list of other types of sales taxes, because it seems to be just another label for the "retail sales tax." The description in the reference looked indistinguishable from the definition of retail sales tax.
If somebody can provide a definition for "retail transaction tax" that is clearly different from the "retail sales tax," please add "retail transaction tax" back into the list with that definition. Folklore1 (talk) 16:47, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I also deleted a reference for the list of other types of sales taxes. It did not describe the other types as well as the linked Wikipedia articles and did not mention the Value Added Tax. Folklore1 (talk) 17:02, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The description of the VAT makes no sense. Purchasers don't charge a price: "Tax cascading is avoided by applying the tax only to the difference ("value added") between the price charged by the purchaser and the price charged by the seller." Does it mean something like: "price paid and charged by the retailer" ? Or what? Noloop (talk) 19:37, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
I revised the VAT description to more clearly explain how it avoids tax cascading. Folklore1 (talk) 16:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

After revising the text and adding some references to this section, I removed the Refimprove and Wikify tags. If you would like to see some other improvements to this section, please leave a note. Folklore1 (talk) 15:30, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
GA nomination[edit]
This article appears to be very similar to Sales taxes in the United States. It makes no serious attempt to discuss non-US sales taxes and so fails on criterion #3 of the WP:WIAGA. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
- Does it focus too much on the United States? Should some of the US material be trimmed? Folklore1 (talk) 16:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Should some of the material in this article be merged into Sales taxes in the United States? Perhaps it would be more useful to leave Sales tax as a small, less than Good article, and try to upgrade Sales taxes in the United States to GA status? That would certainly be easier, because too much source material about sales tax in other countries is non-English. Folklore1 (talk) 16:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
GA Review[edit]
|GA toolbox
- This review is transcluded from Talk:Sales tax/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Reviewer: TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- I believe the opening paragraph might mention the motivations for having taxes such as producing revenue for the taxing authority or curbing consumption on specific types of goods.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:55, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
- History
- This sentence is unclear to me: "Unlike previous federal excise taxes, this tax is collected directly from the consumer by the seller and based on the sale price rather than a quantity."
- This section is not sufficiently broad to meet WP:GA standards. It describes the world long term history and United States history of the last 100 years. Without broadening this section to depict most major economies, this article can not be a GA.
The article in general is too focussed on the U.S. to merit further consideration. I am failing this for severe deficiencies in WP:WIAGA 3 (a).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:55, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
The seller pays the tax to the state[edit]
A sales tax is a tax paid by the seller to a government body. That's why it's called a sales tax. When the tax is paid directly to the governing body by the consumer, it is called a use tax. However, usually laws governing sales tax allow (or require) the seller to collect funds from the buyer for the tax. If the seller fails to collect the funds from the consumer, the seller is still responsible for paying the sales tax in most cases.
This is a subtle distinction but for accuracy and clarity it should be stated in the lead and more clearly explained in the rest of the article. Sparkie82 (t•c) 23:48, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Mar 22, 2012The concept of controlling a wave of light is executed flawlessly through beautifully rendered levels and a challenging, but addictive gameplay experience. Gamers looking for a truly unique and innovative experience shouldn't hesitate to add Waveform to their list of must-play games this year.
May 31, 2012All in all, Waveform is a fantastic casual game which revels in both frustration and addiction. And best of all, this extreme enjoyment will only set you back the tidy sum of USD $7.
May 11, 2012It's a formula that works surprisingly well, and, at such a small price, Waveform is a bargain. [June 2012, p.95]
Mar 20, 2012Are you in the mood for a unique puzzle game filled with ambient electronic music and want to feel good about supporting independent game development? Waveform may just be right up your alley. It is elegant in its simplicity, but don't let that fool you. The game quickly becomes challenging and with about eleven stages (filled with ten levels each), there's a surprisingly large amount of game and replayability to be had. I see myself coming back to this game often.
Mar 21, 2012Its colorful visuals and retro-symphonic soundtrack are easy on the eyes and ears, while its minimalistic design ensures gamers of all skill levels can immediately jump in and enjoy saving the galaxy.
Apr 5, 2012Waveform is created out of a unique concept and is mostly made for casual gamers. The gameplay can be difficult though, making it interesting for the hardcore as well. This game will frustrate you at times though. It's also a shame that the music gets boring after a while.
Mar 28, 2012As it stands, Waveform has an excitement curve as bendy as its core gameplay conceit. A wholly unique experience with brilliant mechanics at the centre, its only misstep is its overreach preventing it from shining as bright as it could have.
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 10
Mixed: 1 out of 10
Negative: 1 out of 10
Mar 22, 2012Waveform is fun for casual gamers and hardcore gamers alike. I have been enjoying this game a lot and surprisingly it has dragged my wife away from her gaming consoles to compete with me for high scores. The soundtrack is excellent and there is a lot of variety in the game mechanics over the course of the game .Easy to play , hard to master its a great addition to anyone's Steam library .I'm giving it a ten based on value for money. Check out my earlier gameplay preview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRK-OqJnOe4… Expand
Mar 25, 2012Waveform has you flying a particle through various space-themed levels, collecting little orbs of 'light', among other things. The catch is, the particle will only travel along a sine wave - of which the player can manipulate the amplitude and frequency, providing the primary way to control the particle's position. While the levels are rarely difficult to complete on the most basic level, completionists and those looking for a challenge will enjoy attempting 100% completions of the levels.
With a well developed, intelligent mechanic, challenging gameplay for those who seek it, and a relaxing atmosphere, Waveform is an excellent game well worth checking out.… Expand
Nov 28, 2012The most enjoyment I've had playing an abstract real-time puzzler since I first got Tetris for Gameboy in 1992. The trailer might make it look like it's just another simple, boring and repetitive indie game, and sure, the only reason I bought it was because it was on offer on Steam, but once I'd had a few tries and got a feel for how to use the mouse to manipulate the wavepattern, I was hooked, and I can't get enough of it. The only way I can find of explaining the gameplay experience is somthing like that of Guitar Hero, only 10 times more interesting. Might not be for everyone though, but if you're into challenging and intelligent casual games like Tetris, you might want to try this one.… Expand
Sep 2, 2012Indie games don't get better than this! Waveform launches you into space on sine wave which you can increase the amplitude and frequency by means of travel. Ride the wave while avoiding objects and collecting light particles is what it's all about. There are at least eight stages around a planet, plus the ability to post your high scores on the leaderboard. Each stage of the game gets progressively harder as you strive to unlock achievements and complete each 'wave' perfectly. The developers check the Steam forums on a regular basis and listen intently to everyone's suggestions and are constantly improving gameplay. There is even downloadable content available. It's reasonably priced and a great game to own.… Expand
Mar 25, 2012Certainly one of the most hypnotic games to be released this year. "Easy to pick up, hard to master" defines the surprisingly intuitive mouse controls. It doesn't take much effort to complete each stage (at least initially), but you'll nevertheless find yourself pushing for that elusive 100% completion. The joys here are similar to those of shmups or other lightshow puzzlers. It's a sublime feeling when hand and waveform enter harmony, color combos explode, and numbers ascend. Shooting aliens in the face doesn't quite compare. Priced at $6.99--the cost of an upscale meal at McDonalds--this is an absolute steal.… Expand
Jul 29, 2013Had given a bad review due to a mouse bug making the game simply unplayable for me, but they saw the review and fixed it, hehe! Can give it a proper rating now … Expand
Jul 8, 2013This game for me is fun in small doses, but it's hard for me to give it more than a 6 due to built in frustration and overall experience. It's not bad, it can be fun actually, but it's a frustrating kind of fun that makes me play a few levels and stop before I get grumpy. A highlight is the very good soundtrack and sounds that add to the overall relaxed ambiance. Little visual touches give the game a nice polished feel. The game mechanics are simple, no bugs that I saw. Gameplay consists of lining up your waveform-based trajectory/path and you vary only the amplitude and frequency of that path to collect items on screen/avoid others. Nice game mechanics. Again in summary. Fun game in small doses. Be prepared to be frustrated though if you're perfectionist and want to ace a level.… Expand

I'd Rather Have Jesus Lyrics - Jim Reeves
Review The Song (5)
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be his than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
Yes I'd rather be led by his nail pierced hands
Than to be the king of a vast domain and be held in sins dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today
[ vibes ]
I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause
I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than world wide fame
I'd rather be true to his holy name
Than to be the king...

JESUS: THE ULTIMATE (EJECHAA OGWU) | Reviewer: MAKUOCHUKWU EZENWUGO (Army Of God) | 7/14/11
thanks Uncle JIM and also to lyrics reviewer. this' the kind of song l like to listen to: it encourages one on the ONWARD way: because, What can man boast of in this world. All's vanity except CHRIST. some are trading their soul with this world: know ye that ur soul outweigh the whole world.
it pains my heart that people exchange their soul just for a stew- fame and riches.may God grant us wisdom to see beyond the pleasures of the present: cos DEATH IS JUST A BUS-STOP & NOT A DESTINATION.God Bless Uncle Jim

Even though the Jets didnt make it to the Big Game, its easy to find a great party at a sports bar. There is no other sporting event that calls for a party whether or not you have a dog in the fightor whether or not you even like football. And if youre more interested in the party, an excellent option is The Überbowl. The game will be on a big screen, but commentary will be given by a panel of local actors and celebs who dont know a first down from a touchdown, including our own Michael Musto, actress Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock From the Sun), and fashion police Lauren Ezersky, Patrick McDonald, and Cintra Wilson. Take part in the When Football Goes to the Movies trivia quiz and other diversions, as well as a super secret surprise halftime show. Whatever it is, youll surely have something to talk about at the office Monday.

Lorde – Tennis Court (Flume Remix)

As with any Flume-related project, the Aussie beatman's new remix for Lorde's "Tennis Court" is fantastic.

Flume – Intro (Feat. Stalley)
October 15th, 2013
Beat champ Flume is on a (well-deserved) victory lap releasing a "Deluxe Edition" of his excellent self-titled debut that features bars from Freddie Gibbs, Ghostface, Killer Mike & more. Here the Australian producer/songwriter/magician grabs our man in the 330 Milq City Stalley for a re-up of "Intro" Stalley (Facebook) Rating 8.3
Rustie – Slasherr (Flume Remix)
June 7th, 2013
An interesting (yet unexpected) choice of remix source material from Flume, as the Australian producer give Rustie's "Slasherr" the "Flume treatment". The mix sounds (almost unbelievably exactly) like what you'd expect a Flume remix of Rustie would; the bombast, energy and get-up of Rustie's original has been mostly retained supported by broad sound palette and […]

Watch Thor: The Dark World: Thousands of years ago, a race of beings known as Dark Elves tried to send the universe into darkness by using a weapon known as the Aether. Warriors from Asgard stop them but their leader Malekith escapes to wait for another opportunity. The warriors find the Aether and since it cannot be destroyed, they try to hide it. In the present day, Jane Foster awaits the return of Thor although it has been two years since they last saw once another. In the meantime, Thor has been trying to bring peace to the nine realms. Jane discovers an anomaly similar to the one that brought Thor to Earth. She goes to investigate, finds a wormhole, and is sucked into it. Back on Asgard, Thor wishes to return...

it's really a DUMB movie if u want to know the truth, but people who are into fantasy movies might like it.

A full member of the Marvel stable, another great movie. If you haven't watched the first Thor movie, do so first and the collection movie with all the SH's, I think it would be better watched in the right order. SFX were spot on, although there were a couple of continuity errors, and a couple of bits that didn't make sense, but hey, we're talking about fantasy here. The version from Sockshare was excellent, with great sound. 9/10

I really would like to watch this movie but that I find the audio very difficult to hear clearly or at all well enough and the visual seems odd or distorted too. I never get more than a couple of minutes in as I am unable to connect, but hope a better version will be available some time into the future.

Pamper your pets at animal-only resorts and spas »
I have long been an animal-lover who also enjoys traveling. As a result, I have often hired a petsitter or boarded my pets in kennels before heading out of town. Times have changed since I bid temporary farewell to my first pet, however; nowadays, pet resorts and spas are popping up all over, giving pet owners the chance to treat their companions to a little luxury while their humans are at play. As someone who thinks "roughing it" is a hotel without room service, I have been more than happy to board my spoiled pets in a little style.
The simple fact is that some of the pet resorts I've researched treat pets better than humans. Specialty services I've seen offered include "pawdicures," and dog treadmills, where canines can get some indoor exercise. At first I didn't think there was a difference between treadmills for humans and treadmills for dogs, but I was wrong. I hadn't considered how much pets shed—my life is so covered in animal hair that it's second nature to have a lint brush in my hand. Dog treadmills are equipped to handle inconveniences like that pet fluff and, like human treadmills, can be a great way for animals to get a little exercise, especially during inclement weather or if they're unable to get outside for regular activity. I like knowing that my vacation means a vacation for my pets as well, and that they'll be well looked after when I can't take them for daily walks.
Some pf the amenities that pet spas offer are a little silly—limousine rides and spa treatments? I love my animals dearly, but my cat normally spends her day sleeping on top of a box lid, and my dog, although discouraged, drinks out of the toilet. I'm thankful for realistic-sounding folks like those at San Francisco's Pet Camp. The services offered make me want to move to the West Coast so that my dear feline could experience the Cat Safari or my pup could romp with dogs his age and size at Dog Camp, as well as go for a dip in a heated indoor pool. It's great to know that there are pet get-aways that treat animals well—probably so well that I would have trouble getting my buddies to come back home!
As people travel to see family at holidays and look for reliable and fun places where four-legged family members' needs will be well looked after, I think they'll increasingly turn to high-end pet-boarding. Amenities like catered meals, beds that look more luxurious than those humans sleep in, and fancy meals certainly make a gal want to vacation with her pets instead of boarding them.

Road Trip THURSDAY (WHAT?): The Stanford Inn! »
This is a Road Trip Thursday because you need extra time to get to Mendocino and back, but you still have time to call in sick to work tomorrow and get away for the weekend. DO IT EVERYONE ELSE IS DON'T YOU WANT TO BE POPULAR?
Okay so. The Stanford Inn is pretty much heaven on earth. It's heaven if you are healthy and active and want to wake with the sun (PSYCHO) and mountain bike and kayak (CARAZAY) and do partner yoga (I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN) and you're everything I stand against in this world, BUT it's also heaven for lazy asses who just want to eat and drink and hot tub and lay around watching premium cable in their enormous bed with billion-thread-count sheets and eat complimentary vegan cookies and bon bons and pet llamas. I call that Living and you can quote me on that. Actually, I think you can technically quote me on everything I put on the internet and kids who are posting nerkid photos of themselves on myspace OUGHT TO THINK ABOUT THAT ONCE IN AWHILE*.
The Stanford Inn is located in Mendocino, about three hours up the Pacific Coast from SF. If you haven't been to Mendocino, it's what we like to call "God's Country." That is because it is very beautiful and also inhabited mainly by bible-thumping hicks. Those seem to be the two qualifiers for "God's Country." Actually, I don't know about the hicks…that might not be true. I'm mainly talking nonsense. Okay strike that, I'm talking complete nonsense. Mendocino is filled with charming retirees, artists, and hippies and their disaffected youth (aka HOODLUMS). They have several restaurants with more than one vegan option on the menu, and an almost all-veg co-op grocery in an old church. cool.
It's a little pricey for people in my demographic (i.e. people who live in SF and spend all their money on rent and eating out) but they're currently running Spring Specials that allow you a gorgeous room for $198 (Mon-Thur) and $228 on the weekends. All rooms include FREE BREAKFAST (and this ain't continental, you can choose from the menu! Pancakes, waffles, tofu scrambles, amazing SCONES?!—who knew! scones are such a boring non-food but these scones are ridiculous!—also, I love that if you pay for breakfast they charge you extra if you want EGGS. THAT IS CORRECT. Vegan tax in reverse, I love you!) and free rentalsonkayaksandmountainbikesSNOOZE. They also offer this couples special where you get two nights, FREE BREAKFAST AND DINNER at Raven's Restaurant (the onsite all vegetarian mostly vegan restaurant) and a free massage or facial for $685. Now, I've done the math on this and while I'm basically a math illiterate, I believe it's a very good deal, especially considering that dinner at Raven's, while not $$$, will set you back about $100 for two people.
Speaking of Raven's Restaurant. It's excellent and the chef has a really sassy blog on the Stanford Inn website. I strongly recommend you check it out. He is pissed! He is sassy! He is ONE OF US! The food is not at quite the caliber of Millennium but it's still VERY good and uses a lot of produce from their own gardens. Very cool. I especially liked the tofu scrambles at breakfast and the pancakes! I love a vegan pancake!
A couple things to note: 1) You will be the youngest people there and if you're not into that, this is not the place for you. The other guests aren't stuffy or lame, they're just hella old like the crypt keeper, you dig? It's to be expected when you look at the price and then consider that younger people spend their money on strippers, coke and other fun-in-the-moment but ultimately super-lame shit. 2) They have a pool and hot tub that are open 24/7. Midnight slightly boozy underwater handstands? Yes please! They also have a sauna but Jonas couldn't get it as hot as he wanted it, even after he threw water on the furnace. We are lucky to be alive. 3) Make sure to be around for tea time from 3-4pm when they serve up drinks and homemade snacks like brownies and wraps and crostini and hummus! FREE FOOD AND DRINK DO NOT MISS IT. 4) Head into Mendocino and walk around and then head up the road 10 miles to Fort Bragg and walk around. Apparently Fort Bragg is the place where the first tempeh was cultured in the United States. Hippies. Also, check out the raw food restaurant/raw foods culinary school!? in Fort Bragg. It was really good, especially the ice cream! 5) IF YOU ARE THERE DURING THE WHALE MIGRATION, DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE OCEAN. I never stopped staring at the ocean and now I think I have a lazy eye! Worth it! 6) Also, on the drive up, you'll pass Anderson Valley Brewing Company. All of their beer is vegan and you can snack on free pretzels and excellent house-made mustard. Perfect rest stop on your trip.
I guess to wrap this bitch up, save your pennies and go to The Stanford Inn. Since it's about a three-hour drive from SF, you're going to want to stay more than one night to make it worth your while and that package above looks pretty good. When you consider that you're supporting an all-veg business in a beautiful place, it should push you over the edge! YOU MUST GO. Tomorrow. So call in sick with ebola** and hit the open road!
*signed, prudy mccheckyourself.
**I actually did this once when I was in college. I got confused, I thought I was saying I had e. coli. Oops!

Indian Network on Ethics and Climate Change (INECC)
INECC is a national network of organisations and individuals
who connect on the issue of climate change
from the perspective of marginalised communities.
It was formed in 1996 at the initiative of a few development practitioners
who saw the link between the climate change crisis and the larger issues of sustainable development and social justice.
INECC works to bring climate change and sustainable development concerns of the marginalised majority
into policy dialogues.
In the process of understanding our influence on climate and the climate's influence on our society, INECC introduced a Climate Change Education program in collaboration with 4 schools across Nagaland and engaged with about 700 students. INECC aims for our youth to be able to make informed and responsible decisions with regard to actions that have an effect on climate change.
INECC held a day long
Media Workshop on Climate Change and Environmental Reporting
at Guwahati, Assam on
8th September, 2014
. A link to the outcome of the workshop is below:
An INECC Strategy meeting was held post lunch from the
4th and 5th September 2014
New Delhi.
A workshop on '
New and Emerging Frameworks for Sustainable Development in a Climate Changing World'
was organized by INECC in collaboration with Laya on the
3rd and 4th (Till lunch) September 2014
New Delhi.
This workshop focussed on:
1. Unlocking potential for Susutainable Development- The case of CDM projects in India
2. New and Emerging Frameworks for Sustainable Development.
Environics Trust in association with INECC held a one day workshop on 24
July 2014 from 11:00 am-1:00 pm at Summer Valley School, Dalanwala, Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
The workshop provided an open platform for idea exchange: Perspective on the role of youth and institutions addressing Climate Change and Sustainability.
This is part of the ongoing programme on "Climate Change Advocacy and Interventions: Supporting Entitlement and Capabilities of Local Communities Towards Sustainable Living".

Newton: The Making of Genius. Patricia Fara. xvi + 347 pp. Columbia University Press, 2002. $29.95.
An invented letter written by Isaac Newton to John Locke lies at the heart of a brief novel of love, pain and self-discovery published two decades ago by the Irish writer John Banville. Banville's The Newton Letter develops around the idea that the change undergone by his main character, a historian engaged on a life of Newton, mirrors a similar change in Newton's own life, revealed by the fictional letter. The historian abandons his book in a moment of frenzy that results when the world of other people presses in on his life of secluded scholarship. Just such a bout of lucid insanity has led Banville's Newton to give up science and mathematics.
Banville's disturbing little book plays on the isolation of writing and of discovery, and on the fact that the mundane is ultimately more important than the extraordinary, even for geniuses. The real Isaac Newton would have found this hard to believe: Unlike Banville's character, the real Newton did not apologize, and he tried hard to appear not to have any regrets during a long life of conspicuous material as well as intellectual success.
Patricia Fara makes no reference to John Banville and presumably has not been influenced by him, but her Newton is also an invention. He is the creation of disciples and opponents who debated his work after his death in 1727, the product of the consumer boom of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the example required by the new university science of the century after 1830. The image of the saintly scholar that his friends cultivated with care at the end of his life, which can be seen to this day in his monument in Westminster Abbey, eventually gave way to a vision of Newton as the embodiment of British national pride and resourcefulness, reflected in the gloomy statue erected at his birthplace in Grantham in 1858. One wonders whether Margaret Thatcher was thinking more of Newton's intellectual decisiveness, his capacity for hard work, or his tendency not to suffer fools gladly when she decided to include him in her coat of arms as a supporter.
Fara tells us about the transformation of Newton's image and reputation by philosophers, poets, artists, scientists and bureaucrats. Although this may seem an inclusive list, Fara says relatively little about attitudes toward Newton outside England and almost nothing about the effect that reactions to his alchemical and theological studies have had on his posthumous status. She does give Thomas Jefferson a place in the pantheon of enlightened admirers of Newton. The evangelical readers of Newton's millenarian theology, on the other hand, who have created a very different portrait of his genius in 19th- and 20th-century America, get short shrift from this book.
In a late 19th-century Japanese print (which looks more like a picture of Oscar Wilde), Newton is shown sitting beneath an apple tree under the caption "Isaac Newton. Very great head of school but not pompous." Images like this do draw attention to Newton's importance for the presentation of cultural as well as scientific values. The uncomfortable, incongruous feelings that such renderings provoke can perhaps force us to think a little bit more about ourselves as well as about the past. Fara's treatment of the representation of Newton is thus designed to make us ask whether there is more to scientists than what they do or say they do.
Nevertheless, like the officials of the Royal Mint who famously misrepresented the Newtonian solar system on the old English £1 note, Fara does not trouble directly with Newton's science or mathematics. This will probably be a relief to most of her readers, although it has the unfortunate effect of leaving unclear just what all the fuss has been about. There is a problem with the well-worn postmodernist point that Newton is what we have made him: Why have we made him anything at all? The answer to that question must surely involve science and ideas, as well as scientists and their images. After all, the cantankerous and elderly Newton, who has always vied for public attention alongside the promising youth with his apple, fought his intellectual battles with Leibniz and others to prove that he had actually been right, not just to seem that way to generations astonished by his skulduggery.—Scott Mandelbrote, History, Peterhouse, University of Cambridge

ANIMATION: Hydrangea Colors: It's All in the Soil
The Hydrangea macrophylla (big-leafed hydrangea) plant is the only known plant that can 'detect' the pH level in surrounding soil!
One of the world's most popular ornamental flowers, it conceals a bouquet of biological and biochemical surprises. The iconic "snowball" shaped hydrangea blooms are a common staple of backyard gardens.
Hydrangea colors ultimately depend on the availability of aluminum ions(Al3+) within the soil.

Henry Winkler
enry Winkler, actor, director, author and philanthropist, is partnering with National Stroke Association to celebrate caregivers during National Family Caregivers Month this November.
Henry's mother suffered a stroke in 1987 and lived with the results for more than 10 years. Her challenges after her stroke included upper limb spasticity and limited use of her left side. Even though she received extensive therapy, her recovery was minimal and very difficult. Henry watched as she struggled and lost her joy. To date, he feels his most challenging role was being a caregiver to his mother after her stroke.
Today, Henry helps raise awareness about upper limb spasticity. Upper limb spasticity is a debilitating condition which results in uncomfortable muscle stiffness and muscle tightness in the elbow, wrist and fingers. Approximately 40 percent of stroke survivors suffer from this condition.

Stopping the addiction
I've seen some posts about porn addiction and I think I got a nice tip, so people get over addiction easier. Simply get busy. Start doing the things you always wanted. Go out, meet new people, work on something you like. All this is meant to focus your mind on something else, while your body is in the period of 'detox'. The trick is to do the things are most important, like your job/business, house cleaning, etc and after you are done with those for the day, continue with things that you really like to do (think hobbies for example). This way your motivation to do other things will keep you going, until you will notice that the benefits of doing other stuff are higher than watching porn. Now go out there and make something you enjoy.. something you really, really enjoy.
