WMM can't wait for hometown club show
In a convenient twist of reverse engineering, it's Wide Mouth Mason's 2009 album that is setting the tone for how the band is charting its future sound.
Live at Montreux captured the band sizzling in jam mode at the legendary jazz festival, with expansive solos and improvisations. The same approach informed Wide Mouth Mason's No Bad Days album.
"It was very much a rock format but with a jazz philosophy to it where the framework of the song would be a suggestion," guitarist Shaun Verreault said recently.
"The songs on No Bad Days are meant to be elastic, so a lot of that can come out."
The band likes to keep things fluid in its live show. If something from a song they were listening to on the way to a gig sticks, it could well end up as a reference in the middle of their set – surprising each other as much as the audience.
"We call it the shapes we're throwing each other," says Verreault. "There's a little bit of trying to raise eyebrows that you haven't raised before."
Verreault admits wondering if the band would remain viable after he and drummer Safwan Javed parted ways with original bassist Earl Pereira and added Gordie Johnson from Big Sugar. But the evolution continues. When Wide Mouth and Big Sugar are on the same bill, they become Big and Wide, with as many as eight players on stage.
Verreault keeps busy in music producing other artists, writing songs with and for other acts and collaborating coast-to-coast from Vancouver with Newfoundland musician Chris Kirby via Skype.
"It makes it so we have a lot of different things to draw on when we get together to play and get together to write."
Verreault is looking forward to the homecoming and doing a classic Saskatoon club show, its first at the Capitol Music Club.
"I try and get back as much as I can. A bunch of my family is still there."
He likens it to looking through the window of your elementary school, literally or metaphorically.
And speaking of family, Verreault's two-year-old daughter Layla seems to have inherited some musical DNA. She already has her own pink Stratocaster, but she really likes playing with her dad's guitar. Recently, she plugged it into an amp on full blast and, in Verreault's words, "just railed it." He thought she'd be scared and crying. Instead, "she was jumping up and down, smiling, and going 'loud!'"

Expect your JulyFest loud, Big and Wide
The East Kootenay's rock event of the summer is taking place this weekend approaching, as two top Canadian rock bands — Wide Mouth Mason and Big Sugar — take the stage Saturday, July 19, at the Kimberley Civic Arena as part of JulyFest celebrations. Expect it loud. Expect to be transported.
Big Sugar, formed by singer, guitar player and producer Gordie Johnson in the late 1980s, are renowned for their heavy blues-rock-reggae stylings, Johnson's mindbending guitar work, and high volume, marathon concerts.
Wide Mouth Mason draws its style from electric blues, and was last featured in the area opening for ZZ Top in Cranbrook in 2010.
Big Sugar's Johnson spoke to the Townsman last week, from somewhere on the road, where he and the band usually are. Big Sugar is no stranger to the area. Though this will be their first Kimberley performance per se, the band has played Cranbrook several times, Invermere, Fernie … Johnson is asked if he's partial to this area.
"Not be to be impartial," he responds, "but I play everywhere at lot. Big Sugar's been to Europe twice this year. My other group, Sit Down, Servant!!, has been to Europe once, and we're going back in the beginning of November. Big Sugar's going back to Europe at the end of November. We've got a cross-Canada toured planned for January and February next year — Man, I play everywhere all the time.
"I thought I might slow down at some point, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards right now."
The two bands together can be expected to provide a charismatic display of rock, a perfect capstone for a hot summer Saturday night, and the centrepiece event for the summer party that is JulyFest.
"We call these shows Big and Wide," Johnson said, "because it's Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason together. And by the time Big Sugar takes the stage we bring all the Wide Mouth Mason guys in us with too, so there's eight of us on stage."
It should be noted that the two bands are also old pals.
"I produced a record for them back in 2000," Johnson said. "And Wide Mouth Mason's first cross-Canada tour was opening for Big Sugar, back in the mid-90s. They're like our baby brothers. We've always been very close, these two bands."
The synergy between Big and Wide is only increased by the fact that Johnson is currently serving as Wide Mouth Mason's bass player, and has done so for the past several years. He was last seen here with Shaun Verreault (lead Vocals, guitar), Safwan Javed (drums), playing bass as they opened for legendary Texas rockers ZZ Top in Cranbrook.
"Their original bass player left the band, and they were kind of in the lurch because they had been offered the ZZ Top tour. I know Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top's founder, guitarist and vocalist) quite well — and I thought, 'Man, what a great opportunity for you guys, I'd hate to see you miss it. I'll try to think of a bass player who can fill in for you.' And they were like, 'Uhhh, well, what about you?' That sounded like a nice way to spend the summer, so I filled in with them for a while, but now it's been four years! I think I might stick around for a bit."
So in Kimberley, Johnson will hit the stage with Wide Mouth Mason, play that show, switch immediately to six-string and perform another high octane set with Big Sugar. Does one work a sweat that way?
"It's pretty natural for me," Johnson said. "That's what I do — I play music. For anybody else that might seem excessive or exhausting, but that's just what I do. It's the other 20 hours of the day that are exhausting.
"When I'm on bass, that's where I'm supposed to be, that's where everything feels just about right."
In other Big Sugar new, the band has a new album out — "Yard Style."
"It's our first all acoustic record," Johnson said. "There's about a dozen of us, guys who've been in and out of Big Sugar over the years, and other collaborators that we've worked with. Songwriters like the guys in the Trews, Meredith Shaw, the Rastas that have been a big influence on us in Toronto.
"All these people in one room, and without really being too aware of the recording process, we just played and sang live. We sat in a circle and recorded about 20 songs, and narrowed it down to the ones that are on the album. But it was a very informal get together, just singing and playing. It was pretty magical recording it, and think it really comes through on that record."
Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason play Kimberley's Civic Arena Saturday, July 19.

Powerboat Festival Concert Line Up Announced
The fourth annual Sarnia/Port Huron International Powerboat Festival promises to be bigger than ever.
At a news conference this morning(Thurs) at Sarnia Bay Marina, organizers announced the concert line-up for the festival running August 8-10.
Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason will kick-off the festival's evening entertainment Friday, with The Trews and I Mother Earth the following night.
Along with the ticketed concerts, a new secondary stage will be set up on Front St. for local bands to play throughout the day. Michele Stokley says international street performers and buskers from chainsaw jugglers to stilt walkers and more will also be on hand.
The annual powerboat races begin around noon on Sunday.
Co-chair of the festival Scott MacLean believes this year's event will draw over 45,000 people to Sarnia's waterfront, by expanding marketing to London and Chatham.
Tickets for the evening concerts go on sale today at Stokes Bay, Stokes Inland and www.sarniapowerboats.com
A full list of event details can also be found at that website.

Sarnia Powerboat Festival boasts The Trews, I Mother Earth, Big Sugar, Wide Mouth Mason
This August's International Powerboat Festival won't be a quiet affair.
Organizers with the fourth annual three-day riverfront festival Aug. 8-10 in Sarnia and Port Huron are expecting even more roaring speedsters on the water, and announced four well-known rock bands Thursday for the signature summer affair.
Alternative rockers I Mother Earth will join The Trews, each with a full show, in the festival's Saturday ticketed concert series. Wide Mouth Mason will open Friday evening's concert for rock/reggae group Big Sugar.
Both evenings kick off at 8 p.m. at the George Street riverfront parking lot. There'll also be a 19+ VIP area on the terrace of the St. Clair Corporate Centre, looking down on the concert grounds, where a kickoff "Get Launched Party" will be held Friday.
"We're in a small intimate venue, so you'll definitely be up close and personal with the bands," said co-organizer Michele Stokley. "So I do expect the tickets to go fast."
Meanwhile plans are to bring in up to 10 of the 40-to-50-foot super class powerboats for Sunday's races, starting at noon. There were four on the water at last year's event.
"It'll just put the race itself in a whole different electrifying mood," said co-organizer Dave Brown, noting nothing's been confirmed yet. "We're pretty pumped about it, to say the least."
Last year's festival featured 54/40 and Sarnia-fan favourite The Trews in concert and 29 powerboat drivers rooster tailing along the St. Clair River. It also attracted more than 35,000 people: more than doubling attendance from 2012.
"We're not really taking baby steps," said Stokley, who's said she envisions bringing the festival to a Bayfest-level caliber, potentially incorporating the two in the future.
"It's Sarnia's premier festival without a doubt, but I can see it growing more," she said, predicting attendance will hit 45,000 this year.
World-class buskers will work the streets juggling chainsaws, in addition to stilt-walkers all weekend, Stokley said. There will also be a kids' workshop downtown on Sunday where they'll teach youngsters some tricks of the trade.
A Power Wake wakeboarding competition is also back this year, taking place Saturday morning on the waterfront.
Boat parades, powerboat time trials, a meet and greet with drivers, an inflatable kids' play area, vendors, artists and tall ships are all expected to return.
Outside of the ticketed concerts, the entire weekend is a free affair and last year donated $70,000 to charities from sponsorships and concert ticket sales.
A second stage at Front and Lochiel streets will feature local band Chemical Valley on Friday at 5 p.m., playing a free opening show before the ticketed concert. Smith and the Crazy 8s — featuring the 88s' Ian Smith — Census and Gorgeous George will play Saturday, starting at noon.
"We're really excited about the great concerts, but also the on-water activities," said Scott MacLean, one of two festival chairs.
"We're seen as one of the best race courses in North America," he said.
It's unique, Stokley said, noting the festival is the only split Canadian/U.S. powerboat racing event.
Concert tickets are $40, or $65 for a weekend pass, available starting at noon Thursday at sarniapowerboats.com, Stoke's Bay and Stoke's Inland. Complete festival details and event times are at sarniapowerboats.com.

We like the look of London's upcoming Doc'n'Roll film festival which features, amongst many other attractions, a doc about Detroit's lost proto-punk pioneers Death and a film about rock photographer Jini Dellaccio. Also there is Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle director Julien Temple. So, unearthed from the unvisited archive, here's an interview I did with Temple about his Joe Strummer documentary, The Future is Unwritten, which also shows. Below, our favourite Clash moment.
This weekend's Raw Power festival in London featured a raw and - I think you know where we're going with this - powerful line-up drawn from the outer-reaches of twenty-first century psychedelia (a term so hard to define that Windows declines to include it in the spellcheck facility. Read in to that what you will.) We'll cobble together some thoughts and links imminently. For now however, there's this:
That would be Evil Blizzard: four bassists in masks delivering lead-heavy, post-punk freak-outs made from abandoned bits of PiL, a strange strain of organ-disordering hypno-funk and, well, early Hawkwind. Fascinatingly, Mark E Smith - not noted for his enthusiasm for anything much - invited them on tour. And to revisit that earlier point, that's four bassists and no guitar. Here's a professional at the Quietus to explain properly.
You know how we feel about early Hawkwind round here. Now the band's endless excavation of their own past throws up this extraordinary bid for the charts. Brian Blessed declaims his way through Sonic Attack, written by novelist Michael Moorcock in 1974 and originally conceived as a paranoid satire of Cold War-era public information broadcasts. Bob Calvert's intonation back then gave it an eerie sense of authenticity. It's hard to be sure what's happening with this new version, but here it is, along with links to download etc. "Do not panic..."

economy -The McRae Agency
As the econony continues to affect our beloved local businesses, the PR industry is starting to get a lot more recognition and street cred. That's some good news for you and me!
As I open my daily newsletters folder in my Outlook, it's interesting to glance at all the headlines talking about which companies are closing and which ones are trying out new strategies to stay afloat. And if you haven't noticed, the companies that are cutting through the clutter are ones that are using an experienced PR agency (like ours) to develop and execute social media initiatives into their marketing strategies.
With credit to http://sashahalima.com/blog/, I wanted to share the top 5 reasons PR matters in a recession:
- Added value: Public relations provides a huge ROI, that isn't necessarily measured in numbers. It's quality of relationships over quantity of sales.
- Credibility and trust: People trust other people, more than they trust advertisements. We are all humans and we like to be marketed to as such. And social media is the ultimate venue to get others to become your brand's cheerleaders.
- Media relations: PR pros know how journalists function and will do everything in their capability to make sure the news media gets your best message out to keep your business in the public eye.
- Aggression: Even in a downward economy when everything else is slowing down, that means it's the best time for your brand to be aggressive. A solid public relations strategy will position you for growth — slowly during the hard times, only to speed up when things get better.
- Be strong: The great thing about public relations is that there is the opportunity to say exactly what you want to say, how you want to say it. The strength of your message is often better conveyed via blogs, websites, press releases, 'notes' and features.
Now, some of these new social media tactics may still be new to some companies, making them feel hesitant whether it's the right solution for their financial woes. But, I've discovered a wonderful video that explains "Social Media in Plain English."

Rooster katsu is a Japanese dish that's another local favorite in the islands. Begin with the flour, than the egg then dip into the panko. Place seasoned flour and breadcrumbs in separate bowls and whisk egg in a third bowl. Transfer the rooster, rice, and bok choy to particular person plates. We'd love to pop into your e-mail inbox every week with inspiring recipes, cookbook news and foodie give-aways.
Slice the rooster diagonally and serve with the sauce drizzled over, steamed rice and salad. Anyone who's into Japanese food knows that katsu curry is wickedly fantastic. Dip in egg mixture, then toss in breadcrumbs, urgent to secure. Used good high quality rooster breasts, cornflakes, used a jar of first rate Korma sauce and added soy sauce and a little bit of scorching chilli sauce, and it labored out very well.
Put the remaining substances in a pan. First coat the hen within the flour, then the egg, ending with the breadcrumbs. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and fry over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crispy, three minutes per aspect.
Use a non-stick fry-pan for best results when …

Turn Your IKEA Catalogs into an IKEA-Style Table
The low-cost of IKEA furniture means that some people treat it like it's practically disposable. Not that you're going to throw away your table after every use, but no one's ever felt guilty leaving a set of IKEA shelves behind in a move.
But what if you could do the opposite: take something disposable and turn it into IKEA furniture. A reader of the site Designboom did exactly that.
Using nothing more than IKEA's two annual catalogs, water and the adhesive polyvinyl acetate, the reader was able to build a coffee table. He even mocked up some instructions in the traditional IKEA style, which manages to be both simple and confusing.
Now, truth be told, making a table out of crumbled-up IKEA catalogs is nowhere near as easy as just buying a table from IKEA. Since the table is being bonded with a synthetic polymer adhesive, you're kinda just cobbling a table together from a bunch of random paper scraps and hoping you have the aesthetic skills to make it look more like a table and less like a pile of trash.
Still, it's a fun concept that will make you think long and hard about the nature of furniture and waste.
Check out the table here.

First things first, La Agencia Travelers is not sponsored by VivaColombia Airlines. This is not an advertisement!
Never heard of VivaColombia?
Then you need to get out more because this is all over the SA-travel grapevine! VivaColombia is one of the VERY few low-cost airlines in Latin America. They cover all the major cities in Colombia, including the Caribbean coast, and they fly to Panama City, Quito and Lima for as cheap as 100 USD. If you hit the right dates, you can often get a flight for the same price as a busticket to the same destination. This is GOLDEN because as anybody who has traveled in South America would know: Distances are LONG and the quality of bus companies varies to say the least!
Same price as the bus? Getouttahere!
No, it's true. But! You need to keep an eye out for promotions on the VivaColombia website. Three weeks ago, when I needed to get from Bogotá to a new job in Medellín with only a few days notice, I was really lucky. First I checked the bus prices, which seem to range between 35-55.000 COP (15-23 USD) for Bogotá-Medellín. Then I checked the prices at VivaColombia and I got a ticket for 70.000 COP (30 USD). 50.000 for the ticket and 20.000 for my bag.
Wait, you have to pay extra for your luggage?
It all depends on how much weight you carry. You are allowed to bring one carry-on with 6kg/13lb, anything extra you have to pay for. Don't get discouraged, it is still very affordable. You have the option to bring an extra 12kg/26lb bag with you in the cabin for a fee of 20.000 COP (8.5 USD). Or, for the same price, a 20kg/44lb bag that you check in. If you have special luggage like musical instruments this will cost extra too.
Do you value your time?
Think about this for a minute. How much is an hour worth to you? This is not an hour at a miserable deskjob we are talking about. This is an hour of your travel time, your adventure time, maybe the best time if your life. You have to take account of that when you calculate if it is worth taking the plane over the bus. I flew from Bogotá to Medellín in one hour and seven minutes. The bustrip takes 9-10 hours. Do the math!
A few tips on flying with VivaColombia
I have flown with VivaColombia twice. From Quito to Bogotá and from Bogotá to Medellín. Here is what I learned:
1. When you fly into Colombia from another country you have to pay a fee of 15 USD at the check-in counter in the country of departure.
2. If you want your ticket to be cheaper, print it yourself and check in online up until four hours before departure.
3. No seats are assigned, you just choose one when you enter the plane. If you want to sit at the emergency exit, you have to be fluent in spanish.
4. Pay attention when you choose the extra bag services on the website. I chose the 12kg bag option without realizing I then had to take the bag with me into the cabin. The check-in lady almost didn't let me in because my bag was too big. Choose the 20kg option, it's the same price!
So, my advice to you is: Skip the bus! The plane is faster, safer and now also almost cheaper.

They have been such a focal point in my life. ) R represents the response that we have to the change, ("I have provided my children with the tools they need to be successful. I will celebrate their successes. I will relish the extra time I have in my day by doing something special for myself…new hobby, exercising, etc. Think I'll go to the gym today!") How I choose to respond to the inevitable situation determines the O or the Outcome. The O or Outcome is totally dependent upon my response. I can accept the fact that they are going to grow up and I can relish in the newfound time and freedom or I can focus on missing them. One will uplift me; the other de-energizes me and brings me down. I...Learn More

Check out noteworthy things done and honors received by cities around Idaho as they work to create quality cities.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality awarded a $20,000 wastewater planning grant to the City of Aberdeen. The funds will be used to prepare a wastewater planning document and an environmental report. The purpose of the project is to evaluate the current wastewater system and address future discharge limits. The remaining $20,000 of the $40,000 project will be funded by the City.
The Caldwell Veterans Memorial Hall (CVMH) received a $12,000 Community Investment Grant from the Home Depot Foundation. The grant was used for drywall for the interior of the CVMH. On February 3, Team Depot and community volunteers gathered to install drywall in the upper level of the Hall. Tools and safety gear were provided. A BBQ lunch was provided by the Caldwell Lions Club.
The City of Caldwell in partnership with Destination Caldwell has been awarded $50,000 from Together Treasure Valley for the creation of Indian Creek Musical Art Park. Together Treasure Valley, a new initiative that launched last April, unites local businesses in their mission to do good in our community and to celebrate what a great place the Treasure Valley is to live and work.
Approximately 1,500 students from eight Moscow schools participated in the popular Safe Routes to School "Polar Walk." They were also joined by over 250 parents, teachers and community leaders and over 40 University of Idaho students and athletes. Encouraging children to walk to school in all types of weather promotes a healthy active lifestyle and decreases automobile congestion dangers along school routes. All who participated were encouraged to dress appropriately for the conditions by wearing boots, gloves, hats, heavy winter coats, snow pants and scarves and to abide by walking and biking safety regulations.
The City of Rexburg recently joined Regional Economic Development for Eastern Idaho (REDI). The move is expected to help promote business recruitment, expansion and retention efforts and will attract talent to local job openings. Rexburg joins REDI members Bonneville County, Idaho Falls, Ammon, Ucon, Bingham County, Blackfoot, and Shelley.

Men need to decide if they want to stand up and be allies, not ask us to make it easier for them.
This. A thousand thousand times, this.
Dude, it's not about you.
The "
NotAllMen" bullshit is pissing me off. In a conversation about the oppression of, and systemic erasure of, the rights and safety of, women… the "feels" of men, any men at all, is irrelevant. There is a time and a place for men to discuss men's issues. For men to talk to other men about being allies, about reclaiming masculinity for the positive — not this ugly fucking misogynistic bullshit, or whining about misrepresentation. Because it *isn't* misrepresentation, when the broken and sad and awful and violent and dismissive and hate-fueled and fucking dehumanizing ways that women are permitted to be viewed and processed in the dominant male cultures around us are pointed out. It isn't misrepresentation. And if that makes a man feel uncomfortable, THAT IS THE FUCKING POINT. It is supposed to.
We should not be comfortable with this state of affairs. We should be mortified, sickened, repulsed, sullied, shamed, and shattered by this revelation. And we should be fucking *silent* during the discourse, unless what we are saying is appropriately platformed in the public vehicles of the exchange in allied support of the calling out of the *awful realities* being named.
Discussions of the rampant misogyny and related ugly qualities in masculine culture — and the degraded and perverse state of masculinity in popular expression more generally — is NOT the time or place for men to "voice their feels", unless those feels are disgust with the issue and support of the YesAllWomen discourse.
I think that some of it is about making it be okay for there to be more than one conversation. There needs to be a place where folks can talk about their pain and frustration and anger… I believe that there is absolutely a place for men to talk about their own pain and frustration. Patriarchy isn't a person, it's a structural issue. It is a baseline assumption that informs structures. All of us individuals are embedded in and affected by that structure, men included. [C]hoosing carefully and mindfully who to process this stuff with… helps.
— Bari Mandelbaum (emphasis mine)
So when is the time, and where is the place? For starters, it is NOT when women — the group targeted with crosshairs in our culture every day — are voicing these issues and naming these conditions. It is NOT when those feelings would or could be used to leverage silence against an *already* silenced group. Men SHOULD have feelings, and realistically NEED space to be able to sound them out, but that space is NOT here, and that time is NOT now. Men's issues are the source of this problem, and so are not likely to be the solution, and they are OUR responsibility, as men.
Finding the "right time" and the "right place" is OUR responsibility; we shouldn't be looking to women and demanding that our issues or feelings on this matter be considered as equal to theirs. Men don't have crosshairs on them at traffic-stops, at shopping malls, at grocery stores, at college campuses, on sidewalks, at bus stops, on every single form of public transportation anywhere in this country; women do. #YESALLWOMEN.
So right now it is the responsibility of men, be they considered and conscious allies already or not, to shut the fuck up, sit the fuck down, and open their fucking ears. And you know what? We are human beings with the cognitive and social capacity to be in charge of our emotional responses — executive functioning, anyone? — as well as the ability to fucking multi-task.
If a discussion in Place A — say, a Facebook wall thread or a news-article on misogyny — causes us as men to have emotions which we feel that we MUST discuss or share or process, we are fully capable of finding a Place B for that, which does NOT actively silence women or force a "competition of voice". We should not be grabbing for microphones on this one, we should be unplugging and fucking listening to the acoustics of righteous fury and fervor'd push against the constraints of social disempowerment, of the fear that lives in broad daylight in our streets, because THIS IS AWFUL AND UGLY AND REAL and it is fucking EVERYWHERE.
One of the many things that allied men can and should be doing more actively is not only nodding along to the YESALLWOMEN discourse, or reposting and reblogging things — although that is a good start — but also taking it the next step and actively engaging with OTHER MEN who maybe are having a harder time with their feels… or their cognitive and emotional dissonance around the issue, because there IS and WILL BE dissonance and confusion at this… if there wasn't, we wouldn't be needing to advocate for change!
We need to be actively engaging not just with our sons but with our brothers, with our fathers, with our friends; actively positioning ourselves in ways that we can as allies to women become LEADERS amongst men.
In the studies of systemic prejudice we know that the change MUST come from the dominant group through systems of alliance, of listening, and of education.
There's even a formula:
Step 1: Men are confronted with an ugly truth.
Step 2: Men become allies.
Step 3: Men-as-allies support the discourse on the issue, ala #YESALLWOMEN.
Step 4: Men-as-allies actively engage with other men to try and see that change, and those revelations, made real and realized.
Step 5: Whiskey.
Step 6: REPEAT.

The Problem With "Not All Men" And Why You Should Stop Saying This, by Brenda Wambui
#YesAllWomen, by Phil Plait Dude, It's You by John Fucking Beckett
Thoughts About Being A Man, by Satyros Phil Brucato
Edits: Fixed some formatting issues and a cited quote. Also, special thanks to John Beckett for subtitling this article "Dude, It's Not About You", and giving me permission to add that in here. Also, special thanks to Morpheus, Bari, Corvus, and others on Facebook whose conversations (in both public wall spaces and in private dialog) helped me to make sure I was saying what I thought and meant to be saying. I want to also reiterate something that I said on Wyrd Ways Radio the other night: as a man, I do not think that it is my job to decide what the definition of misogyny is. For the airing and naming of such concerns I defer to those targeted and impacted objectively and atrociously by these system issues and patterns of encultured permissive violence and disregard; women.
I would also like to point out that nearly every university, community college and local outreach community center should be able to offer or at least refer people to local resources, workshops, and even training curriculums on the subject of "being an ally", AS WELL AS FINDING SAFE AND CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS FOR "PLACE B" discussions, as mentioned in the article above. "Safe Race Dialogs" for example are organized events where people can discuss safely and in a controlled, moderated setting established by professionals and moderated by cooperated mutual agreements with one another, the emotions, feelings, confusions, concerns and general issues around race, identity, and prejudice. Similar groups should be available to men on the issues of misogyny. Many areas also offer training in conflict resolution and mediation. For example, the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula houses an excellent program called Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center, which provides trained and licensed volunteer resolution teams for solving and settling local (San Mateo County) conflicts of all sorts.

Schenectady gym helps Cohoes fire victims
December 29, 2017 06:07 AM
SCHENECTADY -- People in Schenectady are sweating it out to give help to those who need it.
A special workout was held at Barbosium Fitness to benefit the victims of the massive Cohoes fire last month. Anyone who came in with a donation got to work out for free.
The gym has been collecting donations all week to help the fire victims start 2018 on a positive note.
"I know a lot of the families here. I've lived in Cohoes for the past four years, so I'm really closely tied in with that community, and we're looking to try and make as big of a positive impact as we can, after what happened that day," said gym owner Juan Barbosa.
The gym is still collecting donations for the fire victims. So are many local banks.

I have discovered that fabric shopping in Melbourne and fabric shopping in New York require two completely different mindsets. (this is fabric shopping for garments that I'm talking about, i haven't done any quilt fabric shopping in New York)
Fabric shopping in Melbourne requires having a vague idea of what patterns are available, then going to the fabric store(s) and looking at what's there and deciding what to make once you see what fabric is available.
Fabric shopping in New York on the other hand is the exact opposite. You need to decide exactly what you want before you go and then when you get to the store you tell them exactly what you're looking for and chances are they'll have it. Or if the first store you try doesn't one of the six thousand other stores will!
The problem with my fabric shopping last week in New York was that I didn't think of this and started my day in a Melbourne fabric shopping state of mind, which I quickly discovered wasn't compatible with New York fabric stores!
Thankfully I got over that problem pretty quickly and bought some fabric and some other bits and pieces. Sadly as I'm posting this from my iPhone I can't upload pictures of what I got, but I will once I get home to Melbourne the end of next week.

About this product
A slamlock is a device that automatically locks the vehicle door without requiring any operation by the driver. All you need to do is slam the door shut.
It is primarily designed for applications such as multi drop delivery, high value loads and applications where the owner/ operator require control over the security of their goods. It is the function that appeals as much as the security.
Another major advantage with mechanical slamlocks is total control. Electronic systems often have either global (all doors) or area (load or cab) unlocking- this leaves the unrequired doors vulnerable until the auto re-lock action operates. Slamlocks do not have this vulnerability.
These slamlocks integrate with the vehicle manufacturers' locking systems. This provides maximum security along with straightforward installation. They combine a genuine security slam operation with a high visual deterrent and a pleasing appearance.
All slamlock kits ensure compliance with health & safety at work and corporate manslaughter legislation.
Nationwide mobile installation is available £70.00.

Turn Your Mistakes into "Lessons Learned"
How do you feel when you make a mistake? Do you feel angry with yourself? Discouraged? What do you do about it?
When my cousin John retired from the military and took on a senior management role for Sprint many years ago, he published a monthly employee newsletter containing a life lesson for me. He had a section called "Lessons Learned."
I was fascinated every month as the fiber optics crews reported in every detail (complete with photos) on mistakes they made in the field. They then taught everyone in the company the lessons they learned from the blunders they had encountered. I was impressed at how John could turn someone into a hero for reporting a mistake and the lessons from it. This practice supported a safety-conscious, sharing, learning culture.
I was profoundly impacted by these stories.
As independent professionals, we are responsible for every part of our business. In some areas we are accomplished, in others we are just managing, perhaps even struggling. Mistakes happen in every area. Imagine what it would be like if you could quickly and automatically ask yourself: "What is my lesson here? What can I learn from this?
Instead of dwelling on a negative feeling after a mistake, put your brain to good use by asking yourself the curiosity question, and then allow the answers to flow. I'll bet you will feel better, bounce back to full productivity more quickly, and learn ever-better ways to serve your clients. And have a better attitude about mistakes, too!
What stories can you share about your mistakes and lessons learned?

Our milestones
SIDN's history is closely linked to that of .nl. And the history of .nl begins in the eighties. Last year .nl celebrates its 30th anniversary. We our proud that .nl still is one of the largest and secure TLD worldwide.
Our history begins in the 80's.
Our backstory begins in the 1980s. The internet was new, and it needed a system for assigning domain names. Because to begin with every internet user had a list of all the others, showing each one's internet address. Those addresses weren't like the ones we use now: they were just numbers. As the number of addresses increased, it became hard for users to keep their lists up to date. The solution was the Domain Name System (DNS), which enables people to reach each other using names instead of numbers. E.g. SIDN.nl instead of 126.96.36.199.
Piet Beertema, the man behind .nl
Piet Beertema was system manager at the Centre for Mathematics and Informatics (CWI). He had the great idea of asking for the Netherlands to have its own the top-level domain: .nl. He put the idea to Jon Postel, a US internet pioneer. Jon approved Piet's request and .nl was created. On 30 April 1986, the CWI registered the first .nl domain name: cwi.nl. So .nl was the first active country-code domain outside the US. And to this day, Piet is still the registrant of godfatherof.nl.
The start of SIDN
In the 1990s, the internet grew rapidly, and so did the number of users. Registering all their domain names soon became a big job. Big enough to justify setting up a national foundation to do it: the Foundation for Internet Domain Registration in the Netherlands (SIDN). The people behind the new foundation were Piet Beertema, Ted Lindgreen and Boudewijn Nederkoorn. We took over responsibility for registering .nl domain names on 31 January 1996.
Explosive growth
Since 2003, anyone has been allowed to register a .nl domain name. No matter where you are and whether you're a business or a private individual. Our first CEO, Hans Kraaijenbrink, worked hard to get that reform, finally succeeding in the year of his death. After that, .nl grew enormously, reaching a million names in the same year. Today, there are more than 5.8 million names, making .nl the fifth largest country-code domain in the world.
