For the first eight days of September, a small group of people stopped Pope & Talbot from getting into the Boyd Creek area of the Incomappleux to do road building work. They set up what they called an information camp about 12 km up the Incomappleux River Valley road at the junction of the Boyd Creek Road and the road leading into the upper valley.
...When an interim injunction was served on September 9 at about 3:30 pm, the protesters peacefully cleared the road and set up their information camp off to the side. Some P&T trucks and equipment went through that afternoon and into the next day.
Then, on September 10 around noon, a rock slide came down and did some damage to a bridge just 7.5 km up the Incomappleux River Valley Road from Beaton.
...Some of the company's equipment [was] trapped on the other side of the slide, as [were] vehicles belonging to three people at the information camp and apparently some hunters as well. People [were] able to scramble over the rocks and get out on foot.
Eloise Charet, one of the protesters, reported that as the road building crew was driving out after the slide, one said, "I guess those trees don't want to be logged."
The injunction [was] challenged in Nelson court on September 19. Joanna Cowen [was] legal counsel for the two people named on the injunction and who stayed at the camp throughout the protest. These are well known area resident Eloise Charet, who calls herself a passive resister, and Henry Hutter of Winlaw.
The Incomappleux River Valley is part of P&T's Tree Farm Licence (TFL #23), and was acquired in 1992. There has been logging activity in the valley by various forestry companies since at least the 1970's.
Recently, the valley has caught the attention of environmental groups and scientists because of the rare values of the area. These include old-growth cedar and hemlock trees, some that have been estimated to be between 1000 and 2000 years old; rare plant species and lichens; and habitat for the red-listed mountain caribou, blue-listed wolverine, grizzly bear and bull trout. The valley, which is in the Interior wetbelt or Inland Rainforest of BC, was described as "a generally rare forest type of global significance" in a brief prepared for the Arrow-Boundary Forest District by Andre Arsenault, Silviculture Systems Researcher, in 2003.
Environmental groups are calling for the upper valley to be added onto Glacier National Park, where the headwaters of the river are found.
...A press release issued by the protesters says they are "questioning the reality of destroying prime habitat for the endangered mountain caribou and grizzly bear."
...the area has been identified as core caribou habitat on maps created by the southern Recovery Implementation Group (RIG) set up by the federal government under the Species at Risk Act.
Craig Pettitt of Valhalla Wilderness Watch explained that the federal government charged the RIG's to come up with a Recovery Action Plan for the mountain caribou, but that there was no guarantee that the plan will be implemented as is. The RIG's came up with the plan about two years ago and "it doesn't look like anything will be finalized for at least six months yet," said Pettitt. "So there is a scramble to log the old growth terrain before restrictions come in." [italics added]
...Gary Diers, a silviculturalist from Argenta who wrote a report in 2003 calling for Goal 2 protection for the upper Incommapleux River Valley, pointed out in an interview that the Mountain Caribou Project report "Staring at Extinction" states that P&T is the largest destroyer of habitat for the Central Selkirk herd and the sixth largest logger in the province in mountain caribou habitat.
"The fact is, with all of P&T's fancy caribou planning, the mountain caribou are vanishing from the Central Selkirks. Along with the mountain caribou, the very ancient forests are vanishing as well," he said.
A Valhalla Wilderness Watch press release states that mountain caribou, which live only in the Interior Wetbelt of BC except for a small herd that crosses into Idaho, are completely dependent upon old-growth forest. The release states that they have declined from 2,450 animals in 1998 to an estimated 1,670 in 2004; and of the 13 remaining sub-populations, most are declining rapidly, none are expanding, six of the 13 have fewer than 50 animals.
The release also refers to BC's Forest Practices Board 2004 report entitled "BC's Mountain Caribou: Last Chance for Conservation?" which said: "There appears little time left to act before options for mountain caribou conservation are ultimately forfeited. Current science suggest that if older forest continue to be fragmented and mountain caribou continue to be lost to predators, the final opportunity to restore mountain caribou in the province will soon be lost."

Today's students need to be made to feel confident in using mathematics and making sense of it in the context of their subject, says Claire Morris
Aquick web search revealed that courses in ecology, marketing and primary education at three different universities all require study of mathematics, statistics or both. This is no surprise. Every September, students who thought they had said goodbye to maths for ever arrive at university only to discover that there is a substantial numerate content in their chosen course, even if it is disguised as "research methods" or "data analysis".
Many are dismayed at having to re-engage with mathematics; they lack confidence and have labelled themselves "bad at maths". Even those with decent GCSE grades often say things such as: "I don't know how I got a B - I never understood what I was doing."
In examining the reasons for this, the first priority is to increase students' confidence in their mathematical skills. One way to achieve this is by encouraging students to reflect on how their understanding of mathematical concepts has developed; the Open University's Open Mathematics course does this successfully by building into the process reflective questions as well as computational ones. Many students dislike this because it cuts across their ideas of what maths questions should involve, but by the end nearly all acknowledge that it has been helpful.
Another confidence booster is to put structure on to the bits of half-remembered maths that float about in students' minds - things such as "change side, change sign" and "two minuses make a plus" learnt as instrumental rules, but the rationale for which has never been understood.
Demystifying these rules helps make students realise that they know more than they thought they did.
Academics need to be more adventurous in constructing curricula. It is better to cover a smaller number of topics in a way that ensures proper student understanding than to gallop through a wide range of material that is not fully grasped. Some topics seem to appear in syllabuses simply because they always have done; sometimes because of the curious requirements of professional bodies. For example, much print, and student angst, is expended on making histograms with unequal classes despite the superiority of the boxplot over the histogram for many practical purposes.
And then there is relevance to consider: mathematical ideas must be related to students' subject interest to make their importance clear. This should not be merely a cosmetic exercise:if you are teaching a class of nurses, you need to know what nurses use mathematics for. This provides a chance to establish a relationship of equality with learners: "You explain the nursing context to me, and I'll explain the required maths to you." The Higher Education Academy's Maths, Stats and OR (operational research) Network is active here. One thorny aspect of the "relevance" debate concerns who should be teaching maths and stats to non-specialists.
Recently, much "service" teaching by professional mathematicians and statisticians has been replaced by the integration of the mathematical material into subject teaching by subject specialists. Students carry out, say, a psychology experiment, then learn about the statistical methods for analysing the results from their psychology lecturer. It is not possible to do justice here to the pros and cons of each approach, although as a professional statistician I am clear where I stand in the debate.
And what about the responsibilities of employers, who are quick to complain about a perceived decline in standards of numeracy? In August 2006, the Confederation of British Industry claimed that "16 per cent (of employers) had concerns about graduates' numeracy skills". But it is not easy to pin down what exactly employers want. The CBI's press release cited "simple mental arithmetic without a calculator, the ability to interpret data, competence in percentages and calculating proportions", but this does not exactly define a coherent university-level curriculum. If the CBI wished to do something constructive on this front and not just carp, it could do worse than to produce some decent case studies illustrating why these skills are needed.
The UK has a poor showing in international league tables of numeracy skills. We reportedly languish mid-table along with the US, New Zealand and Italy, while being consistently defeated by India, China and South Korea.
Critics say that the better performing countries have "traditional" approaches to teaching, involving learning of "times tables", lots of mental arithmetic and so on. They do well in tests; ergo we should be returning to the use of such approaches.
But the true picture is much more complex. It is obvious that those who are highly placed in league tables are good at what is being tested. If the tests examine skills in mental arithmetic, algebraic manipulation and so on, students who have been taught in a system that emphasises those skills will do well. But my experience is that although it is true that students from East and South Asian countries are very capable at carrying out calculations, they are less well prepared to deal with questions such as:
"What does the average you have calculated imply about the data?" or "Do the solutions you have obtained provide realistic answers to the business problem we started with?" And encouragingly, it seems that the UK performs better at tests examining the use of mathematics to solve everyday problems rather than at those examining abstract competences, according to a recent survey by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
This brings me to my final point: what is required by many students is best described not as numeracy, with its connotations of mathematical competence, but rather what I call "dataracy" - the ability to look at numerical information intelligently and to link the numbers to the practical situation to which they relate. Developing this skill is more challenging than teaching students to plug numbers into the formula for computing a standard deviation and it is a heck of a lot more useful. So let's get rid of numeracy - too often interpreted by students as "remedial maths" - and start teaching our students to be "data literate" instead.

Eliyon Technologies was founded in 1999. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, it's affiliated with Corex Technologies Corp., a leader in business card scanning software and hardware. Jonathan Stern, Eliyon Technologies' president and CEO, holds the same positions at Corex.
Eliyon's system crawls the Internet 24 hours a day, reading news articles, press releases, company Web sites, and SEC filings. The entire database is updated every 2 to 3 weeks. Only free sites are crawled and sites with .edu, .gov, and .mil extensions are excluded. Theoretically, pornographic sites are also excluded by looking for matches to particular words. Using natural language processing tools, the system extracts information about people and the companies for which they work and combines the individuals found in multiple places into consolidated profiles. There are no human editors or human intervention; the entire process is automated. This, unfortunately, is the cause of some of the product's pitfalls.
When Eliyon's system finds information about a person, the page on which the information appears is cached and kept in the system forever. Therefore, even if the original page disappears or moves, the cached version always remains available through Eliyon. A notation is added at the top of the page that includes the date and time the page was cached and a link to the current version of that page, assuming it still exists. When asked about the copyright issues involved in the caching of pages, Lichtman felt there wasn't a problem, as the entire page is cached without modification and Eliyon inserts its notation at the top of the page.
Eliyon may be searched in the following ways:
As a professional searcher begins to use the system, some glaring weaknesses appear. The first problem is the lack of a controlled vocabulary for any of the searchable fields; all entries are free text. This begs the question of how to account for variations in title from one company to another. For example, if you want to find the names of the chief financial officers (CFO) in a particular industry, that would be fine if chief financial officer were a standardized title. While CFO is commonly used, so are controller, comptroller, vice president of finance, and so on. How would you capture all of those people using Eliyon's system?
As another real-life example, I searched for my own name. Fifty-seven matches turned up, although many of them were duplicates. (There's also no way to tell if an entry is a duplicate without viewing each individual entry.) Of those 57 entries, one title showed up in 40 of my entries: "Experienced International Business Researcher." While I appreciate the recognition, I would hardly consider that to be my title. All of these entries were drawn from the following reference to my book: "written by experienced international business researcher Sheri R. Lanza and edited by Searcher magazine's Barbara Quint."
Another entry had my title as "Treasurer, Budget and Finance Committee Chair, Membership Committee Chair." This apparently was a reference to the fact that I serve as secretary for the AIIP's board of directors and the words "treasurer," "budget and finance committee chair," and "membership committee chair" were in close proximity to my name. The rest of my 57 entries didn't include a title. So the fact that my "real" title is president of my company, Global InfoResources, Inc., never even made it into the Eliyon database. I also never showed up as a writer, columnist, speaker, or consultant, all of which could be considered valid titles.
A similar, and potentially more serious problem, is the lack of a controlled vocabulary for industry. Per Eliyon's Web site, "We allow you to match the same keywords used by a company to describe their products & services in press releases and on their website." Unfortunately, this makes the assumption that all companies within an industry will use the same words. While that's possible, it could be quite dangerous to rely on that supposition.
In fairness to Eliyon, the database wasn't designed to conduct a search on a person's name. As Lichtman rightly told me, if you already have a name, it certainly makes more sense to use a search engine to find information on that person. Instead, Eliyon was designed primarily to look for names to attach to a particular title. In that case, Eliyon would be more suitable for executive recruiters, human resources personnel, sales/marketing professionals, and development organizations looking for potential fundraising contacts.
I asked Lichtman what the fee-based Eliyon service offered that the major free search engines (Google, AllTheWeb, AltaVista, etc.) didn't. She replied that Eliyon has a value-added benefit in that a search returns "specifics" about a person. I discussed this further with fellow researcher Gary Price and we both came to the same conclusion: An experienced searcher, using a good search engine and a focused search strategy, would likely receive results as good as, if not better than, those returned by Eliyon.
Currently, Eliyon is priced at $99 per month for unlimited usage. No contract is required so one could sign up to use it just for a month while working on a particular project; there's no long-term commitment. However, this is introductory pricing and it's possible that the fee will increase when the introductory phase ends.
While I'm aware that I've pointed out many problems with this system, with some changes and tweaking it could have potential for the information professional. Adding controlled vocabulary for titles and industries, removing duplicates, adding human intervention at some point in the process to help to eliminate "nonsense" entries, integrating a protocol for handling name variations, and addressing the potential copyright problem of caching Web pages would be a good start. With those changes, Eliyon might be a useful product for information professionals.

Other than my love of natural bones, I'm using the sketch to deal with my mental block of the color brown. I don't know why, but out of all the colors, I have lots of problem with browns. (I could deal with beige as I see it as a form of white. Khaki and similar is o.k., but not the typical brown!)
However I know I need to deal with this blockage since one of the subjects I love to paint is Nature. And with nature scene, you just can't get away from the browns. (When I'm writing this, I feel like I'm talking about a person ... weird!)
- To develop sketching habit
- Take off the pressure of being a "perfectionist"
- More realistic time management - I'm working on A5 size sketchbook which doesn't need days to finish one painitng
- "Subject" study for future painting purposes
- Learn to become "looser" in my approach to drawing and painting

Sriharikota. With Chandrayaan-1 entering moon's orbit, new information has started pouring in. And on the first day itself Scientists at ISRO have claimed to discover a secret that was under wraps for over 60 years now. The images and data sent by Chandrayaan-1 shows a group of asteroids orbiting very near to earth around this time of year. Scientists believe that these asteroids and other celestial bodies are the reason politicians are making strong promises and influential speeches in India.
Scientists have found out that these asteroids and celestial bodies induce specific psychological and biological changes among the politicians and stimulate them to make promises and speeches, just as a full moon transforms some people into werewolves and stimulate them to kill humans. Scientists claimed that the politicians around the country are undergoing such transformation right now.
Scientist further informed that these asteroids are moving in an elliptical orbit around the earth and are currently in the perigee stage. The orbital period of these asteroids has been calculated to be five years i.e. each of these celestial bodies comes near to earth once in five years. As of now scientists are not able to say how many of such asteroids or cluster of heavenly groups could be traveling in the orbit.
"We are not sure of the total number of such asteroids or other celestial bodies which could be revolving around the orbit, but they seem to approach the earth in clusters once in five years." Prof. Chandru Votemurthy told Faking News.
Prof. Votemurthy explained to our correspondent how ISRO scientists mapped the promises and speeches of many of Indian politicians with the interpolated path of these asteroids. After running a multivariate analysis on the above data points, it was pretty evident that the politicians were making stronger promises and more influential speeches when these bodies were in perigee stage. The only other known species known to be influenced by the movement of celestial bodies are werewolves.
"There is clear similarity between a werewolf and an Indian politician. I don't know whether it's a good news or bad news; that is to be decided by you and your readers." Mr. Votemurthy told us in a pensive mood.

Once you and your spouse decide to divorce, several options remain for both of you. One of those is mediation in lieu of litigation.
Mediation is sometimes referred to as alternative dispute resolution, and can work out well with many couples. But not all separating spouses will be good candidates. Below are some things to keep in mind when pondering mediation.
-- Are you and your ex able to be civil to one another? This is paramount for a successful mediation.
-- Is there an underlying respect between the two of you that will allow both sides to voice their concerns and wishes freely?
-- Are the two of you mature enough to communicate about a variety of subjects without acrimony — custody, visitation, distribution of assets, etc.?
-- Is your relationship free of any incidents of domestic violence? Couples with an abusive history are not candidates for mediation.
Remember that the mediator isn't a judge and doesn't decide matters. He or she is there to assist former couples with reaching a satisfactory agreement between themselves. A mediator will meet with both parties individually to learn what each one wants and what any sticking points may be.
Mediation can be a good choice when there are children because it is less stressful than going to court. It also shows kids that Mommy and Daddy are able to cooperate, which can have a positive effect on them.
Don't stress if the mediation gets hung up on one or two issues. Even if that is the case, litigation can be limited to those matters, which saves both time and money.
If you think that mediation is something you would like to explore, mention this to your family law attorney.

"Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth." – Chuck Norris
There's no problem in having a temper, no, the problem is losing it. You will not see my anger in my clenched fists, you will not see much punch walls, nor will you see me growl in rage.
Where you will sense the anger is in my eyes. Where you will feel it will be in my words. Where you will hear it will be in my silence. You will not feel my strength but you will fear it.
When one loses their temper, one loses their worth and I'm not going to make myself worthless. You're just not worth it, man.
Anger has enough power to be the ultimate annihilator. But it also has enough grace to be the finest motivator.
It's truly a skill to have a calm mind when angry. And I thank you for training me at that.
Thank you for falling so low that rising above you is not even a challenge anymore.

Statistics Definitions > Collinear Definition
A set of points is collinear if you can draw one line through them all. The word literally means "together on a line." Two points are always collinear: no matter where you draw the two points, you can always draw a straight line between them. A general way to write this is: "Points P1, P2 and P3 are collinear", which can also be written as "point P1 is collinear with points P2 and P3".
It goes without saying that points are non-collinear if they do not fall on the same line.
How to Show Points are Collinear
It seems reasonable that if you can draw a line through a set of points, then those points are collinear. The trouble is, those points may not be exactly on the same line. One way to work around this is with the knowledge that the points must satisfy the same linear equation. For example, if you are given the linear equation y = 4x + 16, you know that the points (-4,0) and (-1,12) meet the definition because (plugging the x and y values into the equation) we get:
0 = 4*(-4) + 16
12 = 4*(-1) + 16.
An Alternate Method
A second way is to find the slope between the points (i.e. the slopes of the line segments between points P1 and P2, and P2 and P3); if the slopes are the same then the points are collinear. For example, the set of points in the image below fit the definition if the slope of line segment A equals the slope of line segment B.
Sample question: Do the points P1=(−4,0), P2=(−1,12) and P3=(4,32) show collinearity?
Step 1: Find the slope for the line segment between the first two points using rise-over-run =(y2−y1)/(x2−x1)=(12−0)/(−1−(−4))= 12/3 =4
Step 2: Find the slope for the line segment between the next two points =(y3−y2)/(x3−x2)=(32−12)/(4-(-1))= 20/5 = 4.
Step 3: Compare the slopes you calculated in Steps 1 and 2. The two slopes equal 4, so the points do show collinearity.

The probably most popular spot from the "G10" Park built by Elias Assmuth is now available as a single obstacle full of features. The bricks create a unique grind and slide feeling. The most important feature is, that you can move the ledge from the left to right, thanks to the predrilled holes. This way you can ride frontside and backside perfectly. The table has a compact size and because of Banks angle every trick will log in the ledge super smooth. Welcome to the next level of fingerboarding!
length: 44cm (17.32inch)
width: 15cm (5.90inch)
hight: 10cm (3.94inch)
*Just like in skateboarding use wax to keep the surface of the bricks smooth.

Sakura is a girl that is considered too kind for her own good. People take advantage of her and even bullies her. She is very nice but is much of a scaredy cat which unlike her siblings, make her lose her poise. Society considers her as an outcast because of her passion for cosplaying. She is also very touchy with her appearance.
Eiji Takeda was from one of the most famous samurai clans and was also popular by his own skills. He was also an attractive man and had people fall in love for him and even the goddess, Konohanasakuya-hime. One day, Konohanasakuya decided to reveal herself to Eiji. Eiji fell for her at first sight with such a beauty like hers. With immediate honesty, the goddess has told him about her being a goddess and that she had to leave soon. On the day of her departure, Eiji and the goddess did it. Eiji asked that if ever she bore a child that she would at least give it to him as a memory of her. The goddess told her that he had to bring the child to Camp Izanagi when the time is right and left her a necklace with a pendant. Sakura was brought to Eiji and he raised her well and even trained her. He told her about her identity when she turned eight. On her thirteenth birthday, an oni appeared after her party. She was cornered there but suddenly her pendant shone brightly and the oni was stunned and left them there. Eiji thought that it was the right time for her to go to Camp Izanagi and so, they did.

I've been really struggling with happiness, and not because of depression. I've been disillusioned with life.
I've really been struggling with the Christian faith. Not because of Jesus. He is what's holding me together, but because I'm really angry at all the churches I've been to that taught that if we prayed and believed, that God would bring all things together for my good... and never clarified what my good meant. I assumed that "my good" meant the things I want; prayers answered my way, "unshakable peace" that things are going work out the way I'd like, God providing what I want- as long as we prayed and believed hard enough.
According to the Bible, "my good" actually means suffering that ends in endurance, personal character development, and hope. Not hope in what I want, but hope that God is good and that he has loved us and made a way for us to be reconciled with him. There's no promise that what is good for me will always look good, and there will be things that I will only understand as good in the hindsight of eternity. That's what "my good" actually means. But no one told me that before.
I've also had a hard time with worship at church. I'm so critical of anyone who leads worship, sings worship, or even smiles at church. I can handle hymns but I really struggle with all the happy music that's so popular in American worship these days. I want to shake them and scream, are you worshiping God only because your life is easy? What if God gave you himself and nothing else? Would you still jump and clap if God lead you into a life of devastating loss?
I've been trying to figure out for weeks why I'm so bitter about Christians being happy...or anyone else for that matter. It didn't seem normal to be that angry because people were happy. I realized it's not happy-in-the-moment-happy (like tickling your children) that angers me, it's the whole life-is-happy-philosophy/faith that angers me. It's the philosophy/faith that everything is going to work out if you believe.
And that philosophy/faith is **expletives deleted**.
I finally realized that I'm actually mad at myself. I was once that clapping-happy Christian, totally naive to any long-term hardship, believing that I was strong and faithful, praising Jesus because my hope in God was based on the belief that life would become better. And I realized it was me I wanted to shake, to scream, don't you know where God will lead you? Don't you know that all this happiness can't protect you from devastation? Don't you know your dreams and hopes, even your children, might be taken from you? How can you be so naive?
Happiness has seemed fake to me lately, compared to the real pain in my life.
I now have an understanding that suffering and real pain exists. I can't un-learn that, even if I wanted to. I can't go back to a happy-life-philosophy. And that scared me. Because I can't live in depression and bitterness, but I had no idea how I could be happy and broken at the same time.
And Paddington really helped me today as I sat through the movie, tears streaming down my face. I loved that Paddington never lost hope. Everywhere he went he spread a little goodness, a little happiness. He wasn't clapping-happy, but by seeking out goodness and having hope that goodness could and did exist...he found it. Happiness. The real kind. The kind that exists despite pain and suffering.
And there has been happiness for me lately. Real happiness as people have shown their love for Grace on her birthday with cards, video messages, and donations for her swing set. The cards have come with tear stains and encouragement that have shown me that people have been willing to step into our suffering and not only alleviate it, but to suffer with us. That is the happiness that makes me feel safe, the type of happiness that is real.
Because maybe my issue wasn't happiness...it was hope. Maybe it isn't happiness I need, maybe I need hope that goodness exists, because God is good regardless of pain in this life, and that in turn will lead to real happiness. Maybe I just had it all in the wrong order.
I think that's how I can be broken and happy at the same time. I can be brave enough to look for goodness and light, though the world is evil and dark, and find happiness wherever the light breaks through. And with each small happiness that God allows, and that I am willing to embrace, evil will be conquered and be pushed back into hell where it belongs. Even if only a little darkness dies, it would be worth it.
I am going to try to re-direct my hope, because in Him is life, and that life is the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
And in that hope, I am willing to risk happiness.

NEWINGTON — Southeast New Hampshire Habitat for Humanity's ReStore is officially opening the doors to its new home at the former Roller Skate Newington on Saturday.
NEWINGTON — Southeast New Hampshire Habitat for Humanity's ReStore is officially opening the doors to its new home at the former Roller Skate Newington on Saturday.
A University of New Hampshire dormitory desk, kitchen cabinets, 50 bar stools and a Hammond organ are among the items in a showroom filled with practical and one-of-a-kind goods.
To celebrate the grand opening of the new location at 29 Fox Run Road, there will be an all-day celebration that includes food grilled by Texas Roadhouse at 11 a.m. and 98.7 The Bay broadcasting live from the store from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"Lots of people are driving by and poking their head in, so we expect a good turnout on Saturday," said store manager Doug Willey.
Willey said he feels fortunate to open the new store in a space as unique as the former roller rink, and renovations were geared heavily toward maintaining the building's character.
"Customers who are familiar with the building's history will feel right at home and we're going to have a lot of fun with the space," Willey said.
The new store is double the size of ReStore's old location in Dover and boasts a new donation center that allows customers to easily drive up to the store, where staff and volunteers will unload the donations and provide a donor receipt.
All funds raised by ReStore are used to benefit Southeast New Hampshire Habitat for Humanity. Since opening three years ago, ReStore has raised more than $300,000 and is currently the largest funding source for the affiliate.
ReStore will open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will be regularly open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
To preview merchandise available in the store, or for other information, visit www.senhhabitat.org/restore or call 750-3200.

makechange.earth is born from the idea that one person alone cannot make change happen. Capitalism forces us to spend precious lifetime working for people who's values we don't necessarily share. In order to create, innovate, bear projects that we cherish and make the world the place we want to live in, we need money of our own, and makechange.earth wants to help your projects find and benefit from this financial help.
Our focus lies on grants and fellowships for people from countries outside of the English speaking Global North, because we believe that there are already many grant databases covering this part of the world. Instead, we want to focus on Europe, South America, Africa and Asia as well as on some specific fields of endeavor which we deem worthy of bringing to life the kind of innovation that can make our world a better place: Arts, Digital Rights, Human Rights, Ecology.

We spent the second part of our trip to Switzerland in Wilderswil at the Alpenrose hotel and gardens. Wilderswil is a little village very close to Interlaken and its beautiful with plenty of things to do nearby. This makes it a great location to stay when you are visiting the area.
The Alpenrose Hotel and Gardens
The Alpenrose hotel and gardens is one of those places you immediately feel at home at. We got off our train and walked a few minutes up the road and we were there. This is great if you are usiog the train to explore the area like we did. Its one of the oldest buildings in Wilderswil and it really has that Swiss charm!
Our room was on the ground floor which meant we had a lovely open balcony to step out onto and admire the gorgeous gardens. The owner Carl ( who is funnily enough a South African ) loves landscaping so when he took over the hotel it was his mission to create a beautiful outside area. I really think it adds a lot to the charm of the place.
It was absolutely fantastic to just step out of our room and almost into the nearby jacuzzi as well! A glass of champagne, fairy lights and a fluffy beanie was all I needed to have a perfect afternoon soaking in the bubbles!
While we were staying at the Alpenrose hotel and gardens we did a day trip up Junfraujoch. We could actually see from outside our room as soon as the skies cleared. I highly recommend going up to the highest train station in Europe and then heading down for some beer and schnitzel at the Husi Beer House in Interlaken!
We also visited the the magical village of Lauterbrunnen and walked along the beautiful canals in Interlaken. I could easily see myself staying at the Alpenrose for a week exploring all the nearby areas.

Dear Nicalai (short for Nick, Camden, Luke, and Ainsley),
Walking through the East Garden of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Nona asked, "Where's Solbit? I want to take a picture of her in this beautiful garden."
Papa, checked his pockets. "I can't find her," he replied. Solbit was gone! "Oh, no," Nona said, "We've only been in Japan a few days, Papa, did you lose Solbit already? " Papa tried to defend himself, although he thought maybe he had lost her, "Me? I didn't lose her. She's just gone." Nona said, "I told you to keep your pocket zipped up or you would lose her." Nona was already thinking: how could we replace Solbit now?
Then, we heard Solbit giggle, so we knew we had not lost her, and we were relieved. We looked around us, but, still, we couldn't see her.
Then Solbit yelled, "Hey! I'm right here. Don't you see me?" She was playing hide and seek with us, and she had found the perfect place to hide. She had found something the same color of her skin, orange, and she had blended into the scene. Do you see her? There she is …
For a Plastic Jurassic, what Solbit did was quite something. Her hide and seek trick showed us four things about her.
One, that she thought to play hide and seek showed us that she is playful. Two, that she disappeared from view by blending in with the orange fungus in front of us showed us her intelligence. Three, that she giggled when we didn't see her and couldn't find her showed us that she had a good sense of humor. Four, that she didn't leave us, didn't run away, and did let us find her showed us her good judgment. That's important: you never run away from your parents, and you always stay where your parents can see you.
So, Solbit's hide and seek game with us showed us four things about her that we didn't know before. Solbit is playful, intelligent, has a good sense of humor, and exercises good judgment. You know what, we think she's a lot like you.

Henry Raymond Mussey, "Andrew Mellon's Ignorance," May 28, 1924.
When the day unhappily arrives for Secretary Mellon's grateful fellow country men to erect a monument in his honor they will undoubtedly carve a surtax on its east face and a tax-exempt security on its east face and a text-exempt security in its west. Pending that time, they will read with interest the excellent little book that he has written by fitting together a number of papers, and that the Macmillan Company has published in five days from the receipt of the manuscript. Mr. Mellon knows naught of economics, and less of the shifting and incidence of taxation. His book omits a large part of the relevant facts, its reasoning is bad, and its practical conclusions in general are dead wrong, but these flaws do not in the least detract from its excellence. For in it the Secretary of the Treasury, a successful banker, sets forth succinctly and simply the reasons why he honestly believes that the best way to make the United States prosperous is to take disproportionate taxes of wealthy business men. This gives those who disagree with the Secretary a chance to say why.
Mr. Mellon's limitations, which he shares with many other successful business men, are irrelevant to the main issue; yet his underlying assumptions must be understood by the reader who would grasp his argument. First, then, the United States is a land of equal opportunity, "which presupposes the right of each man to enjoy the fruits of his labor [and capital, too, doubtless] after contributing his fair share to the support of the Government, which protects him and his property." Our country owes its greatness (enitirely, it appears) to the unfettered spirit of business adventure, and one learns with gladness that "any man of energy and initiative in this country can get what he wants out of life. "The Government," we discover, "is just a business, and can and should be run on business principles," and taxation is solely a means of getting the necessary revenue to run that business with as little disturbance to private enterprise as possible.
The Secretary has apparently never heard of the difference between taxes that can and those that cannot be shifted, for he tells us that "high taxes have always meant a high price level, for the taxes are paid, in a large measure, by consumers all over the country."
"No thoughtful person longer doubts that, irrespective of his income, he pays a part of the high surtaxes in the general high price level." Some of us must confess, then, to being thoughtless; for we are fairly satisfied that a graduated income tax stays put on the man who pays it. In a world where the old gold standard of Europe has crashed down in irretrievable disaster, as practically all competent monetary theorists now admit, the Secretary complacently approves our own better luck and suggests that Europe must follow our example–a fair indication, perhaps, of his real competence to deal with the problems of statesmanship that confront the modern finance minister.
One more preliminary, to illustrate the reasoning of the book:
Assuming that all inheritances, large and small, were taxed at 40 per cent, it would then be only two or three generations until private ownership of property would cease to exist. Since these taxes are used in the current operation of the Government, the result would be not that the Government had absorbed the wealth of the country, but that the wealth had been spent and none was left [I]
Was ever more preposterous nonsense soberly set down on paper? In the Secretary's world do no generations work and create new wealth in the intervals between dying? Estates on the average are transmitted not oftener than once in thirty years. Let Mr. Mellon the banker call in a young man from one of, his savings banks, and ask for a compound-interest table. He will discover that a depositor leaving a dollar in his bank today will get $3.24 out of the bank in 1954. Let the luckless inheritor of $10,000,000, then pay over $4,000,000 to a reckless and grasping government, and put the remaining $6,000,000 into Mr. Mellon's savings bank with a good conscience and a cheerful heart. In thirty years three alone out of his six millions will have multiplied to ten; ready for fresh government exactions, and on the remaining three the wretched capitalist may meantime for that thirty years, quite without work, have enjoyed $120,000 interest a year kind1y handed over to him by Mr. Mellon's bank–and even so he will leave thirteen millions to his son against the ten he received from a provident father. But perhaps Mr. Mellon never heard of the productiveness of capital; for all we know, he may be a Marxian, and believe that labor is the sole source of value. Even so he need not quote "three generations from shirt-sleeve to"–piffle! '
But to come to the main argument. High surtaxes crush the spirit of business adventure; and drive our cowed capitalists with broken spirits tamely to shift their funds into tax-exempt federal, state, and municipal securities, thus encouraging an orgy of governmental waste and starving productive, that is profitable, private industry. All this is supported by indubitable figures showing the decline of revenues from the upper brackets of the surtaxes. To the uncritical mind, to which variety, it must be confessed, the Secretary appeals, the conclusion seems irresistible that there is nothing to do but reduce the wicked surtaxes to the sacred maximum of 25 per cent, a figure apparently ordained of God at which good capitalists will put their good money into productive private enterprises and not shift it in discouragement and despair into unproductive and wasteful state and municipal undertakings like good roads and water and light plants and schools and such foolishness. The Secretary's evidence consists essentially in figures showing the progressive decline in the number of taxable incomes above $300,000 from 1,296 in 1916 to 246 in 1921, and in their amount from $993,000,000 to $154,000,000, together with a statement from Henry Ford, and letters from Daniel Guggenheim and a dressmaker in Kentucky saying that the high surtaxes are discouraging them from further investment in business, not to speak of much assertion and some facts concerning the amount of tax-exempt securities outstanding, estimated at $12,300,000,000, and increasing by about a billion a year since 1918.
Now, those who have followed the debate on Mr. Mellon's proposals, instead of simply listening to the chorus of praise in the Eastern newspapers, know that both his statements and his argument have emerged from the fray pretty badly tattered. Of course, the incomes subject to surtax declined from 1916-17, the period of "war brides" and fabulous fortuitous profits, to 1921, a year of profound depression and speculative losses; but all indications are that the surtaxes will yield 50 per cent more in 1923 than in 1921. Of course there has been dodging of the high surtaxes, and as an army of venal lawyers has been put to work finding ways of legal evasion, plenty of holes in the tax law have been found. But how, in the name of common sense, if you cannot collect a surtax of 50 per cent, can you collect one of 25? To an untutored intelligence, the moral would seem to be to stop the holes in the tax, and the Secretary himself offers some excellent suggestions to that end.
But what of the starving of private business by capital going into tax-exempts? It is nonsense, and the facts show it clearly. True enough, issues of state and municipal securities for functions that suffered during the war have constituted since 1919 a distinctly larger proportion of all security issues than before the war, but the Secretary's' own table shows that such issues fell from 28.7 per cent of the total in 1921 to 20.7 per cent in 1923. Such percentages, however, prove nothing. According to Mr. Mellon's own table, 1923 shows the largest issue of new corporate securities in our history, and 1922 was exceeded only by the wild year 1920, when the surtaxes stood at 65 per cent. Does this prove that capital is withdrawing into the tax-exempt field? 1923 was the greatest building year that we have ever known; the railroads disposed of a billion dollars in extensions; public utilities grew at a tremendous rate; automobile factories boomed. There was no difficulty in finding the necessary capital, and the present slackening of business suggests the ever-recurring disagreeable question whether during the boom period we have not overdone the business of producing new plant in private profit-making industries. The brute fact is that the damping down of the spirit of enterprise and the starvation of private business as a result of the surtaxes does not exist outside the fiery imagination of the Secretary and his claque. The whole structure of fact built up to support the dream crumbles upon examination.
What, then, remains? An instructive exhibit. Mr. Mellon honestly believes that the best way to make the United States prosperous is to give her big business men a free hand to make all the profits they can, paying meanwhile as light taxes as possible in running a government whose functions are to be limited to the protection of life and property. In that faith he has already got rid of the excess-profits taxes and has cut the surtaxes from their war maximum of 65 per cent. The big-business community in too large part is in the same medieval state of economic knowledge and fiscal theory that is set forth in the Secretary's book. But most intelligent theorists, and the body of responsible European statesmen as well recognize that, whether we realize it or not, taxation is, in fact a mighty engine of economic and social policy, and that present day conditions demand its use by men with eyes and minds wide open to its effects on the distribution as well as the production of wealth. Mr. Mellon is not such a man.

Today, Identity Evropa activists in Oklahoma City dropped a banner in protest of Senator James Lankford's sponsorship of the SUCCEED Act, which would immediately grant amnesty to 1.8 million illegal immigrants, and potentially grant amnesty to nearly one million more.
By sponsoring this bill, Sen Lankford has turned his back on the rule of law, American sovereignty, and the voters who reelected him one year ago. Oklahomans overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump because of his tough stance on immigration and made their voices known that they do not support amnesty.
We demand that Sen Lankford get in tune with his constituents and withdraw his sponsorship of this bill. If he does not, we will hold him accountable in the 2022 primaries.
We are the dreamers, Sen Lankford. No amnesty!

Descriptionarray mysql_fetch_assoc ( resource result)
Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row, or FALSE if there are no more rows.
mysql_fetch_assoc() is equivalent to calling mysql_fetch_array() with MYSQL_ASSOC for the optional second parameter. It only returns an associative array. This is the way mysql_fetch_array() originally worked. If you need the numeric indices as well as the associative, use mysql_fetch_array().
If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s) of the same name, you either need to access the result with numeric indices by using mysql_fetch_row() or add alias names. See the example at the mysql_fetch_array() description about aliases.
An important thing to note is that using mysql_fetch_assoc() is not significantly slower than using mysql_fetch_row(), while it provides a significant added value.
Note: Field names returned by this function are case-sensitive.
See also mysql_fetch_row(), mysql_fetch_array(), mysql_query() and mysql_error().

Film Review: What We Started'What We Started' hauls out some of EDM's biggest guns for this solid documentary overview of dance-music DJs.
From the overlapping snippets of sound and images comprising the opening montage of electronic dance music documentary What We Started, a voice emerges to declare that the biggest misconception hovering around the EDM movement is that "dance music is a new thing." But who thinks that?
This film, co-written and co-directed by Bert Marcus and Cyrus Saidi, seems firmly pitched towards an audience who already knows, loves and cares enough about the beats and culture of the genre to enter with the cursory knowledge that dance music wasn't born yesterday. What What We Started does well is fill in the details of how the genre has evolved since the days of disco, powered by pioneering DJs, producers and club promoters.
Telling its story exclusively from the perspective of the pros behind the turntables, inside the DJ booths and recording studios, the movie assembles an all-star cast of dance-music makers, from stadium-filling DJ Tiësto, to award-winning remix master Paul Oakenfold and Top 40-charting trailblazer David Guetta. Pop-music superstars Ed Sheeran and Usher also make appearances to add their voices from the recording studio. However, U.K.-born club DJ and producer Carl Cox, considered a legend in the game, and 18-year old Dutch dance-music wunderkind Martin Garrix, the current cover boy of the movement, are the sole figures to be fleshed out with (mildly) compelling personal stories.
Posited as the rich past giving way to the fresh future of EDM, Cox and Garrix embody diverging trajectories, with the 54-year old Cox stepping down from his 15-year stint as the resident DJ at one of Ibiza's top nightclubs, just as a then-17-year old Garrix was debuting on the mainstage of Miami's Ultra Music Festival before a roaring crowd of thousands. They're presented a bit too patly as polar opposites—Cox, the gregarious, rotund black elder statesman, and Garrix, the lanky, doe-eyed white teen—but their parallel plotlines at least add a hint of drama.
Otherwise, the doc offers a strong chronology, from '70s dance floors and '90s warehouse raves to massive, multi-stage EDM extravaganzas like Ultra—although minus the inflection of personality that comes with well-developed characters, as in other surveys of underground scenes like Paris Is Burning. And the forays into the de facto lead characters' lives leave several intriguing threads dangling. For instance, Cox boasts of once completing a 10-hour continuous set behind the turntables, and the film aptly conveys the seemingly indefatigable DJ's infectious energy. It begs the question why he's stopping now, but the film doesn't address his motivations specifically, except to generally point out how DJ-ing has evolved, like much of modern life, to rely on a certain quotient of visual packaging. Garrix not only creates music that moves the masses, he presents a youthful, attractive visual package that sells internationally.
The youngster's success inspires perhaps the most intense emotions captured in the film, as underground DJ and producer Seth Troxler exclaims, "How is a 17-year old kid the fucking face of dance music?!?" Oakenfold, who broke out as opening act on U2's ZooTV tour, also wonders how this untried kid is headlining one of their industry's biggest stages. Additionally, the filmmakers uncover some intense, or just plain catty, emotions when engaging debate about the scene's supposedly widening schism between the art of underground music-making versus the outsized commerce of EDM. The latter is exemplified here by hitmakers like Deadmaus and Steve Aoki, who are criticized for performing live sets in which they don't mix tracks like a "real" DJ but instead simply play pre-recorded sets programmed into a laptop or saved as a file on a USB stick.
Some of the carping comes off as petty in-fighting among chaps who all are doing well for themselves, but those piques of passion are entertaining, as is the film's nonstop soundtrack of EDM, house and techno, both familiar classics and underground tracks. Of course, those beats, breaks and drops will be just noise to some who don't or can't appreciate what is described in the film as an experience of freedom, escape and community transmitted through the conduit of music. But for EDM fans eager to hear from their heroes, What We Started will be essential viewing.

Bitwig Studio is a real touch DAW you can use today - Create Digital Music23:08
Bitwig Studio is a real touch DAW you can use today We've seen apps made exclusively for touch devices like the iPad. And we've seen very basic touch support in desktop apps. But Bitwig Studio 1.3 is both. So, on the same day we find out about a proper touch laptop, we also get a DAW that's ready, today, to take advantage of it. Also, is Bitwig actually trolling Mac fans, or Apple? Because Bitwig is touting the fact that OS X will at least get its new "E-Cowbell device." (I'm not making this up.) For multi-touch devices on Windows and Linux (yes, Linux) – plus a specially-optimized profile for Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Book – Bitwig has a lot of new touch features. They aren't just responding to touch events; they're going further. Full multi-touch support. This is, of course, essential. It doesn't work on OS X – there literally isn't a model for processing the events – but it does open up some possibilities even on Linux. Here's what that looks like when mixing: Radial menu and gestures. To try to make touch more useful, Bitwig are also adding a shortcut menu, for quick gestural access to settings for devices, drums, clips, arrangement, notes, and tracks. I really have no idea whether I'm convinced by this without having used it, but I'm intrigued. It also represents a different approach than Ableton's, which has been to focus on moving control to physical hardware (Push). Clearly, there's an argument for each approach – there's something different about getting away from a display and using something tactile – but it's nice to see something happening with the touch/display end of the equation. Looking at this at first, it looked like a separate remote-control layer. In practice, though, that "radial menu" is maybe better thought of as a heads-up reference to what gestures do. The result can be really fast gestural editing, as seen here in arrangement: I'm really keen to try this, especially as arranging with a mouse is painful. (It's even worse when working with two people, as my studio colleague Nerk can attest.) You can play right on the interface. Rather than go to a separate iPad remote (as Apple does with its own Logic and GarageBand), Bitwig are building a keyboard right into the tool so you can play directly. It's like having a hardware controller or an iPad app built into your display. There's a built-in drum editor. There's a pad layout for playing drum pads, as well, plus some touch editing options. More on 1.3: Thavius Beck, who is actually featured in press shots from Microsoft, already showed what this might look like on a prototype back in July. I'll be trying to track down Thavius and having a chat with my Berlin neighbors at Bitwig soon. When can you use this? Right now. (And that means if you do have a big multi-touch monitor, that works, too!) http://bit.ly/1OWEBmn The post Bitwig Studio is a real touch DAW you can use today appeared first on Create Digital Music.
Finally, a full DAW that will work with the new Surface offerings from Microsoft - and other multi-touch displays - in a way that's productive.

The dictionary definition:
Philophobia (n.) - a fear of falling in love or being in love.
The question:
People today, as I see or believe, are becoming increasingly susceptible to philophobia in their romantic/emotional lives. Every little step feels like a plunge to take and you give your heart in graduating proportions. You wonder (if you generally wonder a lot like me i.e.) when did the emotional baggage become excess or/and how "I love you" became the scariest words to say or hear?
The history:
I don't purport that love has become tainted now in comparison to the Victorian ages of romance histories we swooned over in Mills & Boons. Women of that age were either caged when privileged with beauty or restrained when not. And the men of then were much brawnier in their quest to kill the dragon (or themselves) for the hand of a fair maiden. Yes, courting was quite a barbaric ordeal!
The contemporary:
Surely, dating was a revolutionary shift from the traditional practise of courting as women stepped out in the market and exerted more choice and variability, with men having to work harder to impress them. But like any other grand shift, this one too went awry somewhere down the line.
American individualism and industrial revolution, in my opinion, may have germinated the system of dating with ideas of a self indulgent and a hedonistic 'here and now' attitude. So, since the future is uncertain you don't make promises nor get attached. The best thing to do is to move on. If the sex isn't good, then surely there is no chemistry. No one has been in love without a regret or bearing a grudge. Marriage is not security any longer and divorce is turning whimsical. For fuck sakes, there's speed dating!
For all the research in psychology and neuroscience, love still remains elusive enough to be experimentally determined and largely generalized. But then again, these very approaches reduce love to mere infantile feelings, social/practical convention, hormones etc. all of which are true (in significant proportions) but is certainly not the entire truth. The problem is not in explanation but reduction of the essence of a powerful experience like love to a weakness of trait i.e. the one who loves or loves more. It is such ideas that condition our minds (and restrict our hearts) to keeping the L word as far away from us. In this competitive age, no one wants to fall...even if in love or especially in love as science has "proven" how it clouts one's better judgement of options and risks. But then again, science does not respect emotions the way they should be or for that matter, anything that cannot put be put in an equation.
Case in point:
Meredith Grey, the titular character in Grey's Anatomy. A traumatic parental past with her mother and some serious daddy abandonment issues. Pretty and smart in equal proportions. Has the most gorgeous guy in her workplace at her feet that she knows she can't help but love. However, even after four seasons (i'm on the 5th now and kinda know what's happening on the 6th on this front) is not swooned by the idea of him envisioning a house for them and their kids (even!) or his simple proposal for them to move in together. The best that she could do is ask him to move into her big ol' house with too many roomies. Seriously?
Of course, she's only the most exemplary of them but she personally gives me a good insight to a lot of us sifting and pausing through our love lives.
The concluding question:
Yes, it is much scarier and not easy to let in someone up there than down there. It is why we reduce our own emotions and actions to the purpose they serve and the sense that it makes to our best friend, which dangerously also becomes a self justification.
You may pick yourself up after a fall but is it REALLY possible to fall just as freely again? Maybe it isn't because we're all "wiser" and more cautious. Maybe we do fall but only more cautiously. This is where philophobia sets in as a defense mechanism. It is not our hearts that are fearful, or emotions tainted(for those who find the mention of hearts in character to be unscientific) but our bruised egos that we protect. The fear and anticipation of rejection is purely a mental one. 'Emotional baggage' is thus prejudicially quoted by social scientists to again reduce relationship issues fatally to emotions.
How about we try the free falling, again? (Think Meg Ryan in that scene in City Of Angels, where she feels free of all her inhibitions and glides with both her hands) and how about we give some leeway to our emotions? If the worst has happened with you already, what more do you have to lose?
After all, it is only a wise man who loved and lost once that said, "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all". Not a man with a bruised ego, or with "emotional" baggage and not certainly, a philophobic.

Well...I've read this some time before in one of the websites and ever since...I can't help remembering it whenever I lose my temper and end up being nasty and feel bitter myself. It always, always helps to be nice to people, however annoyed you are with them. Patience is a virtue with bound-less rewards, even if you don't see them right now. Just overcome whatever that feeling is you've towards that other person - jealousy, hatred, anger whatever. Remember - you are being the bigger person if you can maintain your calm Umm..we all know that itchy feeling after a fight I guess - even if we've won technically, even if we were right - just because you were nasty "during" the fight, it somehow doesn't feel like you've won. It just feels like you've lost something.
Most importantly, never be bad to someone who is approaching you for help. Just understand that you can make their life atleast a tad bit better if you can overlook your bitterness. Even if they don't say it, you know they're going to be grateful. And who knows - Life is strange. You never know when you'll need that person's help. And you'll just feel elevated knowing that you've helped someone inspite of your negativity towards them. Imagine - otherwise you're just going to end up being frustrated and bitter, unknowingly trying to justify to yourself why you are sad.
And believe me - It has never helped me till now whenever I've lost it and started being nasty or cold or unhelpful. Not when I had to fire my cook or when I yelled at my dad. It's always good to break the ice. If you feel that you're justified, just express it calmly and don't be nasty. I know it's hard and may be not always possible - But why wait to learn things the hard way? It's good to keep remembering it whenever you want to be angry or nasty for the heck of it. And don't show your own irritation on others. Just be nice and helpful - always.

Hi everyone we had the great pleasure of going to Iceland for ten days!
We were there to collaborate with Snorri Helgason (yes click on his name and listen) and what an awesome collaboration it was :) Snorri was a breeze to work with in preparation for our show on Thursday, February 5 at Iðnó one Reykjavik's oldest theatres!
Here is the bill for that evenings performance :
- Braden Gates & Lay Low
- Kris Ellestad & sóley
- Post Script & Snorri Helgason
We also ended up playing two additional sets on Saturday alongside the Alberta crew on the corner of Skolatorg & Skolavordustig, then at Bravó!
The local bands Oyama & Tilbury played at Hurrà on Friday night, it was a treat.
There are some photo below and links to the Edmonton Journal articles :
A big thanks to these folks
