The Grifola is made with Montepulciano grapes, an increasing popular varietal that is winning awards and accolades and finds some of its best expressions in this area. The Grifola's good structure and elegance results in a fine balance appreciable in the nose and palate. The yield is about half a ton per hectar. After the fermentation the wine is aged in barriques of French oak for about 16 months. A total of 400 cases were produced. This 2004 is a deep ruby red in color with a complex nose showing wild berry and a hint of dark coffee. Excellent body and texture on the palate with a lingering finish. Perfect with bunny!

This project took me the accumulation of 1.5 years to accumulate, and I'm happy to share it with you this week!
You can catch a preview video here
Vince, what is ARD?
Get a copy or ARD here before we remove all the bonuses after launch.
From "No girl will ever like you and you will die ALONE" to rockstar status… 7 years. 7 unique game paradigms. 30 field tested lines. 10 in-depth videos.
$3.00. Game Sense Is Now Live.
Enjoy the $3 buffet:
So it started out with me looking at a video Post by Movie2k. As I was watching it, I realized that girl looked really familiar. Upon further inspection, I do know her! It's Ashley Mitchell from MTV's Real World. Actually, I was friends with her way before her MTV stint.
I then took a look at this guy's channel. PrankInvasion on YouTube and saw some of his videos. I thought it was harmless fun. He's just making out with a bunch of girls. But what is dangerous is that some guys are starting to take him seriously. This stuff bothers me, because anyone with basic pick up knowledge knows that what he's doing is unrealistic. You don't go up to girls, say "guess my name", and then say, "you're fucking adorable" and make out for 5 minutes straight. Upon further research, I found that Backwardshat already posted about his videos being totally fake.
What's annoying is that this guy is basically making a living off his 1 million YouTube subscribers, based on a false reality. What's more annoying is that guys are actually thinking this is real, and it further confuses them as to the legitimacy of pick up techniques.
People claim "fake" shit all the time, like Vitaly's makeout video and Simple Pickups video. The reason you never see them get "called out" is because, those girls ARE anonymous, and their pick up is real. Vitaly probably had to go through a lot of girls to find the 3 that would makeout with him, but he's good at approaching girls and Simple Pickup is legit because I've seen Kong doing it in person in San Francisco with his buddies. Also, they don't mind posting their lame pickups on film too.
Don't fall for all the in-field stuff you see. Get guys who are good to hangout and see them in person.
In 2 weeks, we'll be launching Seduce With Style 3.0 Live. It is a full course taught by me, Vince Lin, in module module format as well as really cool looking illustrations. SWS 3.0 LIVE includes specific, step by step instructions from me in illustrations, video and post format so that you can't go wrong.
Here's a brief clip from one of our "demonstration" modules:
Enjoyed the clip? Stay tuned for the 5 Free Sexy Lookbooks next week that'll get you lust at first sight.
I don't usually pitch other people's products, unless they ads you see on the right and left side of content on PUA Lingo. Anyway, recently I found out that Seduction Mind Hacks is actually run by my local friends here in San Diego, who I run into at nightclubs so I've seen what they can do first hand. These guys have figured out how to pull efficiently and quickly. My douchey friend here John pretty much does it 200x over the last year:
(Disclaimer: Affiliate Link, Sexual NSFW Footage)
My friend Josh talks about getting 9s and 10s during night game:
KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE had a short scene where the agent recruits were required to each pick up a woman using the seduction training they received. The scene was at some night club, and all three agents swooped down on just this one girl, as they explained the concept of negging and so forth. It was the first time on film that I've seen/heard PUA concepts being explained. So its now apparent that PUA stuff has become a regular household thing in our modern society.
The movie (no spoilers here) also paralleled the theme of the "gentleman" like in Great Expectations. Quote from the mentor:
"Being a gentleman is not about being better than other people. It is about being better than your former self"
As for 50 SHADES OF GREY, it was basically an instruction video on the female attraction mechanism. The main character, Christian Grey, basically demonstrated some qualities that drive women to intoxicating attraction. The only downside of all of this was that the actor who played Christian Grey looked a lot like Paul Janka, who is a scamming douchebag PUA coach.
Guest Post By Gladiatorbattler
One of my favorite dating coaches of all time came to speak with us this week. We talk about love, life, and most importantly, tactical advice on how to pick up girls. Enjoy the video!

Join AVETRA Now - click here
Call for OctoberVET Convenors!
AVETRA would like to invite you consider convening an OctoberVET event in your area in 2015.
OctoberVET is the name of a season of local events to share information, research and ideas about VET. OctoberVET complements AVETRA's annual conference, and as the name suggests, it runs through October (with a few events usually spilling into November as well).
The success of OctoberVET always depends on the good-will and inventiveness of a local Convener (orgroup of Conveners) who are connected with local VET networks and identities and can find a focus and a space for their event.
AVETRA offers a small seed-grant for all OctoberVET events (which can be used for catering for example), and a national coordinator is on hand to discuss your ideas, and to provide advice and support. AVETRA also promotes OctoberVET events nationally to help draw attention to local events.
OctoberVET events range in size and scope, depending on local needs and interests, and range from convivial, small-scale gatherings to larger formal events with speakers. Events can be brief (a couple of hours) or can span a whole day. In 2014, 10 OctoberVET events ran across Australia, including a number of regional events. Here are the themes of last year's events:
• Professionalism and Scholarly Activity in VET
• New developments in research in VET
• What VET Researchers Learn
• Refocusing program accountability: Lifelong and life-wide perspective on literacy and numeracy development
• Trades, Apprentices & VET
• Starting the Research Conversation
• Participatory Action Research: a practice changing practice
• Bringing Research to Practice: Engaging Adolescents with Literacy and Numeracy
• The state of play 2014: VET, apprenticeships and context
• Better training for a better workforce: Research for VET Innovation
What ideas do you have for 2015? With yet another momentous year for VET underway it's time to start thinking about how to bring your local VET community together to share ideas and inspiration. Get in touch with Steven Hodge (national OctoberVET Coordinator) to discuss your ideas and find out how to get the OctoberVET ball rolling. Call him at his office: 07 37355712 or mobile: 0421224474 or email him at email@example.com
What's new in VET and research – April 2015
New arrangements for Training Product Development – Part of Statement from Federal Government
Assistant Minister for Education and Training Senator the Hon Simon Birmingham, the federal minister with responsibilities for skills, has today announced the Government's new approach to training product development for Australian industry.
Over 300 responses were received to the Government's discussion paper, Industry Engagement in Training Package Development – Towards a Contestable Model. The overwhelming response was that improvements are needed to ensure the system was more responsive to the needs of industry, and that the point of exchange between the training system, industry bodies and other key players, currently Industry Reference Committees, will need to be strengthened. The Minister has listened to these views. Under the new arrangements, the Industry Reference Committees will have clear responsibilities for training products in their industry sectors.
They will be supported by new independent, professional service bodies, which will be contracted through an open process. These bodies will be contracted to service and support committees and to conduct industry scanning and training product development under the direction of the committees. The contracting arrangements will introduce a level of contestability into these arrangements to:
- ensure industries, enterprises and employers are driving the training product process so that skills standards and competencies align with modern work-practices;
- ensure all industry stakeholders can have their say on the training needs of their current and future employees, and changes can be made if industries are not being listened to;
- drive greater cross-industry skills standards, recognising that many core skills are common across industries, to simplify training packages for students, employers and training providers;
- promote excellence through specialisations and higher level skills; and
- achieve efficiencies for taxpayers through improved scheduling of this work.
The newly formed Australian Industry and Skills Committee, a group of industry representatives established to advise the Commonwealth, States and Territories, will oversight the new arrangements to ensure the work of the committees and service bodies is timely and relevant to industry.
The process will fund organisations that can demonstrate they are best placed to serve the needs of the industry reference committees. In doing so, the Government is ensuring that industry is leading the development and updating of training products, that:
- the products set the outcomes of training that employers expect of their workers;
- training gives students skills at an accepted Australia-wide standard and improves their chances of securing a job or moving up in their career; and
- the national training system offer employers an assurance that employees have been trained to an industry standard and bring the skills needed to boost workplace productivity.
The Government has made clear that its funding to Industry Skills Councils under current arrangements will cease at 30 June 2015.

The Orioles' No. 7 prospect went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBIs on Saturday, bringing his August batting average up to .392, as the Keys beat the Winston-Salem Dash, 6-1.
Over his last two games, Schoop is 7-for-10 with three extra-base hits and six RBIs.
"I think everything is going my way," he said. "I just want to hit the ball and win. Everything's going good. I'm swinging the bat good, getting good pitches, laying off tough pitches. Get a good pitch and get a good swing."
Signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2008, Schoop hit .316 with eight homers and 34 RBIs in 51 games for Class A Delmarva before moving up to Frederick. He batted .232 with six extra-base hits in his first 44 games with the Keys but has heated up in August.
The 19-year-old infielder has 20 hits -- 10 for extra bases -- while posting a 1.082 OPS in 51 at-bats this month. Over his last eight games, he has registered six multi-hit efforts.
"When I came up, sometimes the ball didn't want to fall in," Schoop said. "Just keep swinging the bat. Just keep swinging and the ball's gonna fall someday. Now it's started falling."
On Saturday, the native of Curacao singled in his first two at-bats before smacking an RBI double in the eighth. Asked if he can keep up his torrid pace for the rest of the season, Schoop minced no words.
"Yeah, for sure," he said.
With the win, the Keys improved to 71-46 and ensured they will finish over .500 for the second consecutive year. The last time Frederick recorded back-to-back winning seasons was 1993-94.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Thursday practice report: Clifton, Jenkins & Woodson all miss practice
Green Bay - In addition to running back Brandon Jackson and safety Atari Bigby, who have been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Vikings, the Packers also saw left tackle Chad Clifton, end Cullen Jenkins and cornerback Charles Woodson all miss practice on Thursday.
Clifton is attempting to come back from an ankle sprain.
"There is a chance (Clifton could play), and really the plan for Chad Clifton is just to see how he goes through the rehab today," coach Mike McCarthy said. "There needs to be some type of testing before he practices. He has improved every day, but just like I said the other day, if Chad doesn't practice, he won't play."
Jenkins (groin) and Woodson (foot) are both expected to practice on Friday. Jenkins said he's fine, that the team is just being cautious.
Other notable things:
- McCarthy on what he saw of Brett Favre on tape: "I think he still throws the ball with good velocity. I think it was clearly evident just on the last throw of the San Francisco game. It was an excellent throw and a great catch. I think he still has good feet. He's always had great command of the line of scrimmage, just the way he has handled that aspect of it. I think he looks sharp."
- On how tough it was to tell Favre the team was moving on: "Yes, I think it was a very difficult time for everybody involved. It is not something that you would ever want to go through again."
- On Favre saying he's not out for revenge: "It doesn't matter. Those are his thoughts. I'm not going to comment on his thoughts and his words or anybody's thoughts or their words in Minnesota. We're really looking forward to playing the game, like we do every year. There is definitely added juice to it, no doubt about it, so we'll just leave it at that."

In Addition To China, Here Is What Other Central-Banks Moved Overnight MarketsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/21/2014 08:05 -0400
While the biggest news of the day will certainly be China's rate cut (and the Dutch secret gold repatriation but more on the shortly), here is a list of all the other central-banking/planning events which have moved markets overnight, because in the new normal it no longer is about any news or fundamentals, it is all about the destruction of the value of money and the matched increase in nominal asset values.

Multiple Expansion Is Over, Goldman Warns, "US Stocks Will Close 2015 Only 5% Higher"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/20/2014 12:23 -0400
"The multiple expansion phase of the current bull market ended in 2013. The strong S&P 500 YTD price gain of 10% roughly matches the realized year/year EPS growth of the index. The index has climbed by 17% annually during the past three years as the consensus forward P/E multiple surged by nearly 60% from 10x to 16x. ... We forecast US stocks will deliver a modest total return of 5% in 2015, in line with profit growth. The US economy will expand at a brisk pace. Corporations will boost sales and keep margins elevated allowing managements to both invest for growth and return cash to shareholders via buybacks and dividends. Investors will cheer these positive fundamental developments."

"We are still amazed by the chart [below], but it summarises the problem for those seeking to short stocks with fundamental weaknesses. In the last three years, the MSCI World Index has risen by 38% (11% per annum) whilst reported profits have risen by just 3% (that's just 1% per annum!).

SocGen Warns: "Now May Be The Time To Focus On The Short Side"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/12/2014 16:31 -0400
As US QE has come to an end, depriving the world of US$1 trillion printed dollars a year, SocGen's Andrew Lapthorne warns, there are still plenty of things for investors to be concerned about. Indeed with asset prices where they are, investment returns look paltry from here on, as not only is there a long list of macroeconomic issues to worry about, but bottom-up firm level indicators are also flashing red. Valuations, as measured by median price to cash flow ratios, are near historical highs, and the spread of company valuations within the market is near historical lows. The implication is that downside risks are mispriced.

Record Equity ETF Creation In OctoberSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/06/2014 11:49 -0400
Every day for the past several years, sometime after 3pm, bullish market participants exhale a sigh of relief when as if out of nowhere, an "unexpected" surge of buying lifts stocks into the 4 pm close. There are several explanations for what some have dubbed if not Divine, then certainly centrally-planned intervention. This is the time when ETF creation and (far less frequently) redemption takes place. As a result, in a world in which the bulk of liquidity has shifted away from single name stocks and even futures toward ETFs, trends in the creation and redemption of ETFs are key to watch to determine how the market may move purely for to technical reasons (since fundamentals died some time in 2009). Which is why we note, with little surprise, that according to SocGen, Equity ETFs posted a record level of monthly creations in October, driven by US, regional eurozone and UK indexations, perhaps explaining the relentless levitation of the market on ever lower volume especially in the latter part of the day.

Only A Few Years Left Until The Nikkei Hits Dylan Grice's Price Target Of 63,000,000Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/04/2014 16:38 -0400
"Japan is no Zimbabwe. Neither was Israel, yet from 1972 to 1987 its inflation averaged nearly 85%. As its CPI rose nearly 10,000 times, its stock market rose by a factor of 6,500 … Regular readers know that I don't generally make forecasts, but that every now and then I do go out on a limb. This is one of those occasions. Mapping Israel's experience onto Japan would take the Nikkei from its current 9,600 [as of October 2010] to 63,000,000. This is our 15-year price target." - Dylan Grice

"The Most Important Chart For Investors" Flashback, And Why USDJPY 120 Is Now Coming FastSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/31/2014 18:32 -0400
Back in late September, we posted what Albert Edwards thought at the time was "The Most Important Chart For Investors" which was quite simply, a chart of the USDJPY. Considering the BOJ's overnight move, he was absolutely correct. So for all those who missed it, here it is again, because it explains not only where the Yen is headed next, but why, sadly, this could well be the end of Japan and the mirage of a recovery that has had everybody hypnotized for the past 6 years.

Life Lessons To Derive From QE And Stress TestsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/29/2014 15:42 -0400
QE destroys societies, economies and financial systems, it doesn't heal them. So maybe it's a touch of genius that the great powers of global finance have first pushed Keynes into the academic world and then academics like Bernanke and Yellen into positions such as head of the Fed, making everyone blind to the fact that what they think is beneficial, including many who think they're real smart, actually hurts them most. This whole thing is so broken and perverted it's getting hard to understand why anybody would want to continue clinging on to it. But then, what does anybody know? 95%+ of people have been reduced to pawns in someone else's game, and they have no idea whatsoever.

Burst Chinese Housing Bubble Leads To First Annual Price Decline Since 2012; Prices Drop In Record 69 CitiesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/24/2014 08:04 -0400
It has been over six months since the Chinese housing bubble has popped. What's worse, as overnight housing numbers out of China confirmed, the government has so far failed to contain the fallout, and according to the National Bureau of Statistics, which is anything but, after a fifth straight monthly decline, Chinese home prices have now wiped out all price gains in the past year. This was immediately spun as bullish by media outlets and sellside experts as "raising expectations the government will have to implement more economic support measures to cushion the blow." I.e., buy stocks because central banks will push risk prices artificially higher yet again. In other words, bad is still good and failure continues to be success.

Today US activity will be very light given the Columbus Day holiday. As DB summarizes, we have a relatively quiet day for data watchers today but the calendar will pick up tomorrow and beyond with a big focus on inflation numbers amongst other things. Indeed tomorrow will see the release of Germany's ZEW survey alongside CPI prints from the UK, France and Spain. Wednesday's data highlights will include the US retail sales for September, the Fed's Beige Book, CPI readings from China and Germany, US PPI, and the NY Fed Empire State survey. Draghi will speak twice on Wednesday which could also be a source for headlines. On Thursday, we will get Industrial Production stats and the Philly Fed Survey from the US on top of the usual weekly jobless claims. European CPI will also be released on Wednesday. We have the first reading of October's UofM Consumer Sentiment on Friday along with US building permits/housing starts. Yellen's speech at the Boston Fed Conference on Friday (entitled "Inequality of Economic Opportunity") will also be closely followed.

Summarizing The "Long Dollar Trade" In One ChartSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2014 19:32 -0400
With the USD experiencing its longest stretch of weekly gains since Bretton Woods, it appears, as SocGen notes, that recent currency movements have triggered nostalgia of the pre-crisis world when dollar strength was synonymous with a prosperous global economy. However, given the extreme positioning and potential for policy-maker complacency, SocGen warns the paradox is thus that a strong dollar tantrum could be a more worrying scenario than a Fed tightening tantrum.

Get Back To Work Mr. Hollande; French Jobseekers Surge To Record HighSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/27/2014 12:08 -0400
Despite all the 'promises' French joblessness has risen every month since April 2011... July's jump is the 2nd biggest sinmce April 2013 and at 3.424 million is a fresh record high. One can only hope (though good luck with that) that the new cabinet - same as the old cabinet - will turn things around. With 80% of French people believing that Hollande cannot fix the economy, we suspect things get worse before better...

Allied Specialty Vehicles (ASV) today announced that it has entered a definitive agreement to acquire the bus business of Thor Industries Inc. for $100 million in cash, subject to closing adjustments. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by November 1, 2013.Thor's bus business includes Champion Bus Inc., General Coach America Inc., Goshen Coach Inc., El Dorado National California Inc., and El Dorado National Kansas Inc., which combined represent one of the largest producers of transit and shuttle buses in North America with bus segment sales of approximately $450 million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013. "We are excited to add the Thor bus business to our diverse line-up of specialty vehicles," said Peter Guile, President/CEO of Allied Specialty Vehicles. "We view the opportunity to expand our business into the transit and shuttle bus markets as a key initiative in broadening our markets and providing products that meet the needs of our dealers and end consumers and we are eager to welcome these new bus brands to the ASV family.""Although the bus business has been a valuable part of Thor, this transaction allows us to focus on maintaining and growing our leadership position in our core recreation vehicle (RV) business," said Peter B. Orthwein, Thor Chairman.Thor will continue to own and operate the bus business until the closing date of the sale.ASV is a +$1 billion manufacturer comprised of industry leading brands serving fire & emergency, recreational and commercial vehicle markets.
The Flatiron Flyer buses, which were supplied by MCI and can carry 57 passengers each, are specially branded with a unique blue-and-sunrise-orange paint scheme designed by RTD and a U.S. 36 corridor stakeholder group.
The Hadley mirror business will remain in Elkhart, Ind., but will relocate from the Hadley site to its own production facility over the next few months. The management, engineering, customer service, administrative and production personnel of the Hadley mirror business will remain with the business and transition to Safe Fleet.
Each year, more and more people look forward to BusCon as a chance to network, learn about new trends and technology, and gain the tools that are necessary to revitalize the way they tackle their own operations.
The countdown clocks were developed in part to address concerns about the overall accessibility of MTA's Bus Time system, which sends wait-time information to riders via text message, a QR code scan, or over a web site.
The report argues that the city should be pushing for the "gold standard" of BRT. That would include a control station that monitors buses and ensures they come at well-spaced intervals and enclosed stops that shelter customers.

Blogs Liberty and Power AMERICA: THE CENTER CANNOT HOLDJun 4, 2013 3:51 pm
[This article was originally published at The Dollar Vigilante which I urge you to browse at length. Click here.]
Two events recalled a passage from the Irish poet William Butler Yeats:
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world....
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
William Butler Yeats, "The Second Coming"
Yeats (1865-1939) wrote "The Second Coming" in 1919 to describe the moral devastation of post-WWI Europe. The "mere anarchy" is not the laissez-faire version of contract and consent between free individuals which produces good will and prosperity. The "mere anarchy" is chaos, a Hobbesian society of all-against-all that comes in the wake of sustained violence. It is a society that guts decency, loots productivity, and rewards the worst within men.
Yeats could be describing America today. Or, at least, the America that might well be tomorrow. The center cannot hold.

Apple product thefts rising faster than crime in general in NYC
Thefts of Apple Inc. products in New York City increased at a greater rate last year than crime overall, according to the police department.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
NEW YORK—Thefts of Apple Inc. products in New York City increased at a greater rate last year than crime overall, according to the police department.
The Cupertino, California-based company's products were stolen in a total of 11,447 incidents between Jan. 1 and Sept. 23, an increase of 40 per cent over the same period a year earlier, the NYPD said in a statement yesterday. That compares with a 4 per cent rise in the same period for the total number of index crimes—the seven major crimes, including murder, rape and robbery.
The NYPD stationed officers at 21 stores in the city where the iPhone 5 went on sale on Sept. 21 to help buyers register their new devices so they can be traced if stolen.
About 1,500 phones were registered with the assistance of police officers, according to Paul Browne, a spokesman for the department.
Earlier this year, the NYPD deployed patrol officers with technology that allows them to locate stolen iPhones and other stolen Apple products and apprehend those responsible. Officers have used the tools to recover property and make arrests.
"Our emphasis on prevention and investigation of Apple thefts stems from the fact that they are a magnet for crime, including robberies, driving the spike we've experienced this year,"Browne said in an e-mail.
Apple said demand for its newest smartphone, iPhone 5, continued to exceed the initial supply, an issue the company cited last week as the cause of delivery delays for some early online orders.
The latest model, which was reported stolen from stores in Japan and the U.K. when it went on sale last week, is fetching a premium on EBay Inc. and other outlets. No thefts of the new device have been reported in New York City yet, Browne said.
Apple reported debut weekend sales for the iPhone 5 that fell short of some analysts' estimates after supply constraints delayed shipments. More than 5 million iPhone 5s were sold in the first three days, surpassing a record set last year by the previous model, Apple said in a statement.

A new study from PayScale has cast the gender wage gap in a different light. After controlling for factors such as education and job responsibilities, the study found that the wage gap was relatively small -- about 2% -- when men and women are just beginning their careers. But the gap expands to about 9% at executive-level positions, the study found. Still, Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute For Women's Policy Research, said that biases have not been eliminated. "It's clear the problem is still there," she said.

Additionally, 2008 has brought them a nomination for the San Diego Music Awards (to be held in September) and their sold Out performance at the 2008 North By North Park Festival has solidified there importance in the Southern California music scene.
Their show is a must see, an electrifying and energetic experience.

The Twilight Sad's James Graham Talks New Album, Forget the Night Ahead
"It's basically about trying to forget what happened."
By Tom Breihan on May 18, 2009 at 1:30 a.m. EDT
It's been two years since the Twilight Sad released Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters, their first album of churning Scottish melancholia. Since that album, the band's released an EP and an odds-and-ends collection and played about a million shows, including a recent North American jaunt opening for Mogwai.
On September 22 in the U.S. (and September 21 in the UK), Fat Cat will finally release the band's sophomore effort, Forget the Night Ahead. Earlier this week, we premiered "Reflection of the Television", a clangorous slow-burn jam from the album. And we also spoke with vocalist James Graham about the new album, the tour with Mogwai, and the band's experiments in kicking the fuck out of fire extinguishers.
Pitchfork: The new album is called Forget the Night Ahead. Is there any story behind the title?
James Graham: Basically it's about after coming off tour and things like that, getting back into normal life. I don't know how normal it is, but I'll say it anyway. Things happened to me. Lots of people close to me went about crazy, and I don't know how it affected the people around me and everybody else. There were some stories in there. It's a collection of those kind of themes. And it's basically about trying to forget what happened.
Pitchfork: It's about trying to forget?
JG: Yeah. I suppose writing a whole album about it is not going to help me forget about it. Writing about things definitely helps put things in perspective, and once you're through the shit times, you can look about and say, "Well, I'm through that now." It's kind of therapeutic, in a way.
Pitchfork: Would you say this album is even darker than the first one?
JG: Lyrically, I don't know if it will come across that way to everybody else. But you have to look into the songs a little bit more to find out that they are darker. To me, they definitely are. The first one, don't get me wrong, is not exactly "Shiny Happy People". But the new one, I feel, is darker. There's definitely darker music. Some of the songs are more melodic, but to me it is a darker record.
Pitchfork: What did you go for differently musically this time?
JG: We definitely used some more instruments. We used some violin, which was played by Laura McFarlane from My Latest Novel. We used more piano on the record, and we tried some different guitar strings, and there's some fire extinguishers in there as well.
Pitchfork: Fire extinguishers? Like the whooshing noises?
JG: No, we were hitting then. We were basically kicking the fuck out of them, to be honest. There's an organ sample sound we used quite a lot; none of that had been used on the first record. I'd say it's a little bit more melodic anyway, but it's definitely still guitar-based and still noisy.
Pitchfork: The first album had this really thick sound to it, but the way you're talking about the new one, is it lusher and more orchestrated than the last one?
JG: There's more instruments on it, but it's definitely still got the big guitar sound on it. To me, it's definitely rougher around the edges than the first one. It's not a flat, technically polished album. It's very rough but melodic at the same time. We didn't want to make an album that sounded too produced. This album is more raw than the first one, but again it's still developed. It's hard to put it into words. It's not as produced, but there's more to it.
Pitchfork: Did Paul Savage from the Delgados produce it?
JG: It was Paul who recorded it, but like our first album, it was Andy [MacFarlane], our guitarist, who produced it. On the last album, a lot of people thought Peter Katis produced the record, but he just actually mixed. It was Andy that produced it as well. So he's actually produced everything and anything we've ever done, and he doesn't get the credit for some reason. Andy produced it, and Paul recorded it and mixed it.
Pitchfork: You've been playing live with a keyboard player recently.
JG: That's Dok. Dok was originally in Aereogramme before they split up. We met him on tour when we went touring around America with Aereogramme. And unfortunately Aereogramme split up. We played some shows, and we decided that we wanted to put more into the live show. We couldn't do it just the four of us. We got Dok in to play some shows with us, and right away it felt right. He plays organ and guitar. He might even start doing backing vocals. There are some songs on the record where there's some overlapping vocals, which would be impossible for me to replicate. He's a big part of the live sound now, and he'll continue to do that as well.
Pitchfork: Does he play on the record?
JG: Yeah, he does the string organ sounds. He and Andy came up with them in the studio while we were recording. There's another wee part of the studio where they worked on things. He plays those parts on it.
Pitchfork: Are there any songs on the new album that stand out to you right now?
JG: It changes every day as to what song is my favorite. To begin with, it was "Reflection of the Television." It was one of those songs where you take it into the studio and you don't know how it's actually going to come. It just comes together in there. You've got the basic idea, and then you work on it. That one stands out because it's really fresh to me still. I think it was one of the last songs that we wrote. Then there's the song "I Became a Prostitute", which definitely has a pretty heavy title. That'll probably be our single because it's one of those songs that sounds like that. Anybody I let hear that song, they can all say they like that one. And I like instrumental ones because I don't sing on them, and I can't hear myself. I quite like that.
Pitchfork: You just got off tour with Mogwai. How'd that go?
JG: It was a great. We did a European tour with them as well. We didn't think they'd ask us back because I think they thought we were a bunch of nutters, but they asked us back. We're good friends with them anyway. We knew a few of them before we started touring with them, and after touring with them we all became really good friends. After that, they decided they'd like us to come away with them again. We grew up listening to them, and they were one of my favorite bands-- for them to ask us to go on tour and to enjoy our music, it's quite a special thing for us. The shows were great, as well.
Pitchfork: You guys both play really loud.
JG: Yeah, I know. Anybody who went to those gigs, their ears were probably quite sore by the end of it. But it's better than being a quiet band, I suppose.
Pitchfork: Did you get into any competition to see who could play louder?
JG: They would win. They would win hands down. They are incredibly loud. I don't know how loud we are out front, to be honest. I know we're loud onstage. But we had the same sound guy, who is an amazing sound guy, and people were saying we were pretty fucking loud as well. We could have one of those battles where we're at one side of the room and they're at the other and people are in the middle. I think they'd win. We would sound like shit.
Pitchfork: Are you working on anything other than this new album?
JG: At the moment, we're just rehearsing, getting the new songs right to go on tour. We're definitely going to have something out after the album as well. Maybe it'll be something-- not similar to the EP we released after the last album came out, but just something in the same kind of vein where we try something different. Instead of just doing the full-on noise songs, we'll maybe try to take ourselves out of our comfort zone. Not to say that we're in a comfort zone with this album, because we're definitely not, but just we want to try something different, something that no one would ever think that we would do.
Pitchfork: Like what?
JG: Maybe try and do songs that are under five minutes, try and not do long songs. Maybe try and do pop songs or something. [Laughs] I'm kidding; I don't think that would work. I don't think I have the voice for mainstream radio. We're definitely going to try and think outside of the box. I like bands that try and do things differently all the time.

The hotel was great -- large, clean room. Free parking and no problem finding a spot to park. Safe area. Quiet, even though the room was near an entrance to the building. Check in was great - - a very professional, friendly and helpful young man. Unfortunately, housekeeping was intrusive -- entering the room without a knock or the familiar "housekeeping." She was not friendly or professional and wanted to know exactly when I'd be vacating the room. Reported it to the front desk, who apologized and said there'd be no further intrusions - -also told them what time I'd be leaving. There was no info in the room (not the hotel or area), no dish towel, the workout room had no cups for the water cooler. I attributed these things to housekeeping, but didn't take the time to inquire. The food service in the morning and evening was great and the hotel was very comfortable, aside from the above. I'd definately go back to this property, but request no intrusions by staff. (Another housekeeper stopped by 15 minutes after the first had been there.) Overall, it was a great value -- two meals and a nice, large room, great parking, secure area.

This example is obviously trivial and contrived, but it does include some trends that we see in the actual economy — lots of jobs growth in the low-productivity service sector, sluggish overall demand growth and lots of automation in manufacturing. It also helps explain why corporate profits are so high these days: the factories, after all, have maintained their revenues while halving their payrolls.
As a result of calculations like these I'm a bit less perplexed about the current productivity growth numbers, and a bit more convinced that lousy productivity growth is entirely compatible with strong tech progress. All it takes is an economic environment much like the one we have at present.
What explains such lethargy in a supposedly lethargy-busting industry? The main problem is that the guru business is reaching the end of a long cycle of creativity. For the past two decades or so it has been driven by two seismic economic changes—the rise of the emerging world and the digital revolution.
- The first change led to the ascent of a remarkable group of Indian management theorists, most notably C.K. Prahalad (who died in 2010). They focused on subjects such as the buying power of developing-country consumers, the virtues of frugal products, and the difficulties of doing business in places with poor infrastructure and weak institutions.
- The digital revolution produced a new class of digital gurus, such as Mr Tapscott (Long Tail). And Mr Christensen's idea of Disruptive Innovation :
...considering the resources that are devoted to thinking about management, it is remarkable how much virgin territory remains. There are still no Chinese management gurus to challenge the leadership of the ageing Indian establishment. There are still no serious books on what the internet economy means for the boundaries of the firm or markets for talent. The guru industry seems ripe for disruptive innovation.
..content has grown increasingly abundant and immediately available, attention becomes the limiting factor in the consumption of information. Attention economics applies insights from other areas of economic theory to enable content consumers, producers, and intermediaries to better mediate and manage the flow of information in light of the scarcity of consumer attention
- many (most) of the products of the "attention economy" accrete very litle value to the user, most of the value goes to the provider. Whether its your content, attention or personal / activity data
- in their attempts to grab attention, recruitment techniques are starting to resemble "addictification" rather than "gamification" or UE-ification.
- they are value destructive to you - removing attention from added value tasks you should be doing has a double whammy - not only are you doing less of the staff that adds value to you, that time is used less effectively
(i) The net present value of your future spend - now that's a high value number, and that's what the service provider is getting from you. Trouble is, they aren't paying you - they are giving it to their real customer, the advertisers and people who use your data (hint - a Customer is someone who gives them money, a User is someone who creates value for them for free)
(ii) The opportunity cost of your time - what are you getting for doing this vs doing something else (like your job, for example). The formula for the value of a follower of yours is typically written as some form of:
Total no. of followers (potential) x Total no. of events (actual ctivity - likes, twts etc) x Conversion rate (how many saw/give a sh*t about what you did) x Conversion Value (real dollars you get from that interaction).
Total no. of followers (potential) x Total no. of events (actual ctivity - likes, twts etc) x Conversion rate (how many saw/give a sh*t about what you did) x Conversion Value (real dollars you get from that interaction).

...socialism. When a Democrat hears that code word, they imagine a future where marijuana can be smoked, Ivy League classrooms attended, and nocturnal encounters engaged in, and SOMEONE ELSE pays for the permanent vacation.
Oh please. Do we need such conspiracy talk? As if Democrats secretly read Lenin in their houses as they plot the socialist takeover. Socialist my foot. As for smoking dope -- perhaps you don't realize that some libertarians and even conservatives think that what you smoke is your damn business, as long as you are not harming anyone. (Do you believe in the nanny state for pot smokers?). As for Ivy League classrooms -- I sure hope they can be attended. What do you want? For the classrooms to be emptied? For the life of me, I have never heard of Democrats plotting for free permanent vacation.
Difference between freedom and coercion is determining who pays? Conservatives believe in private charities and liberty; Leftists believe in coercion and political power. We are all staring at the accumulated failure of decades of implemented Leftist promises in the form of insolvent entitlements, and the Left says "it's because we didn't get enough money from 'the rich'". There is never enough of Other People's Money to keep the machine running as promised...
"Republicans" to incorrectly assume they know what other people think.
In fact, they don't need any CODE WORD, they routinely think they have the "answer" with their oversimplified "solutions".
...due to unsustainable pension and health care promises to faculty and staff. Have we not figured it out yet? Decades of leftist promises were merely ponzi schemes. There are no guarantees in life.
Nonsense. Don't confuse state government problems with college tuition costs. Faculty costs are a small part of college costs. When I went to college, no one expected wired dorms, good mental health services, etc. Colleges cost too much: yes. But some, my friend, are worth it. Do you realize how much of the cost at a Princeton, Williams, or Swarthmore is subsidized? A heck of a lot.

The Volcker Rule was designed to keep banks out of trouble—trouble called hedge funds, private equity and proprietary trading. But its impact may be greater than that.
The Investment Company Institute warned that mutual funds could be defined as hedge funds under the rule, which is expected to win final approval next year and which strictly limits the amount of money banks are allowed to invest in alternative investments, causing a major, painful and unplanned shakeup in the crucial $13 trillion industry.
If mutual funds are treated as hedge funds, it would all-but-prevent banks with investment units to seed new products and could force mutual fund firms that own small banks to sell them, ICI President Paul Stevens warned.
"This could have the effect of essentially barring banking entities from sponsoring the most highly-regulated type of investment vehicle and, thereby, limiting investment options for investors," Stevens told the House Financial Services Committee. "Chief among out concerns is the fact that the proposal could treat many [mutual funds] as hedge funds—a result that contradicts the plain language that Congress passed."
