Our speaker and audio designs are now 8 years in continuous production and have been shipped to happy customers on all seven continents.
Our intent is to make the best all around, heirloom quality full range single driver speakers and accessories on the market, available for a reasonable price. Our designs have proven themselves time and again to punch above their weight class as high efficiency speakers, needing as little as 2-3 watts from an amplifier to bloom their entire wall of sound into a living room. Alternatively, they can also be hooked up to higher power amplification upwards to and beyond 100 watts available per channel, displaying even greater dynamic range. The inherent purity of their sound means that they can also be enjoyed close up, even at distances of less than an arm's length away, and at whisper quiet volume levels.
Being so easy to drive, our speaker designs possess the rare ability to make even an inexpensive amplification system or compromised source material sound good - or alternatively, they will also let you hear further into good quality recordings and amplification than you might think possible from any speakers, let alone ones this compact (considering the size of the enclosure and speaker driver). This is because our directly coupled, filterless, crossoverless single driver speaker designs are such a pure signal path that the music itself is given priority above any other narrower aspect of performance. We consider this "easy to please" trait of our speakers to be a tremendous convenience. In practice, it proves easier to get good sound sooner along your journey of building an audio system. (and better sound on a higher budget as well).
Blumenstein speakers produce an industry leading holographic image of a recording And will handle any musical genre with grace and honesty - making them the perfect choice as music appreciators' speakers.
Demonstrations are available in our West Seattle showroom.

ImageWell goes universal
xtralean's ImageWell has gone universal. I can't say enough good things about this simple little application. In fact, every image I post to TUAW has been edited with ImageWell. If you need to do some quick-and-dirty image editing, like a resize, reshape, crop, stroke or watermark (basically any task for which Photoshop would be overkill), look no further than ImageWell. You can even FTP your image to .Mac or the FTP or WebDAV server of your choice, directly from ImageWell. Plus, it's free.
Other changes in version 2.1 include:

Conval High School may expel teen who brought in gun
According to ConVal School District Superintendent Brendan Minnihan, police responded to Contoocook Valley Regional High School Oct. 23 after two other students reported to a teacher that a male student had brought a gun to school. The student was approached in a classroom and found to be in possession of a loaded hand gun, a revolver.
The expulsion hearing will take place at the end of the week and would be closed to the public unless the family of the student asks for a public hearing, Minnihan said.
"Their job is to weigh the totality of the evidence and how it occurred or why it occurred, if there is reason behind it, any intent, if that can be determined," Minnihan said.
The superintendent said he appreciates how swiftly and accurately school officials communicated the event to parents. Staff members are reviewing the incident and safety at the high school campus to see where security can be added while still maintaining a welcoming school atmosphere, Minnihan said.

Hooksett seeks more options for its students
"A MOU doesn't go before the voters (like a tuition agreement), and a MOU can be amended by the two districts without Department of Education approval.
Littlefield said that while it might make sense to pursue an MOU with those districts, he said that for Pinkerton it would be best to have a tuition contract. Littlefield is engaged in negotiations with Pinkerton Academy on a sending contract to replace the contract with the Manchester School District that expires at the end of this year.
"I don't want our students caught up in politics, because if the board of either district changes, they could potentially alter the MOU or cancel it altogether," Pearl said.
"We want to make sure we do what's best for the kids and ensure predicability and stability for the public," Littlefield said.Pearl and fellow Board member John Lyscars also brought up the status of negotiations with Pinkerton, saying that they would prefer there be no limits on how many students can attend other schools."The best way to get voter approval on a Pinkerton contract is to have no limits. If we have limitation of numbers, there will be a lot of concerns in the community," Lyscars said.

Lost Goggles 10b2
Hassle-free setup and accessibility to all
The installation process is quite typical, meaning that it is not going to last very long and it is not going to offer you to download any products that you do not actually need for the extension to properly work.
In addition to that, you should know that it is suitable to both power and novice users, as it does not require any kind of input from them. It does not add any new buttons, toolbars or other menus in your web browser.
View thumbnails and a small hiccup
You are going to see that Lost Goggles has been successfully installed when you first perform a Google search. The usual web results page is going to be contain all the regular items, yet it is going to add a new preview thumbnail for each and every entry.
This feature is going to aid all users to easily figure out which results are relevant and which not for the keywords that interest you. A small setback is that there are no options to help you customize parameters.
Performance and conclusion
It is important to mention here that this product has been discounted a while and therefore, it is not compatible with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, the newest compatible edition being IE 8. The computer's and browser's performance is not going to be affected.
To wrap it up, Lost Goggles is a pretty handy piece of software, if you are one of the people that still works with Windows XP.

Most of the bike gear is garbage, I bought a thermal top and leggings and the stitching came apart within two weeks but there is one exception-the touring boots, £29.99, bloody brilliant, I wear them more than a set of overrated Altbergs.
They're toasty as well, like wearing a duvet on your feet and still in A1 condition after over a year of hard use.

about the boots johnrodgers because I'm wary of buying pvc type waterproof boots...they are usually fine for a while but the 'plastic' coating tends to split behind the reinforced areas where the foot bends on the bike and then they are useless....that's happened to both pairs of (quite expensive) commuting boots I've used. I'll admit I do favour more expensive known brands in boots,but for things like layers and socks etc... it's the cheaper stuff every time.

Captain Jamesman said:
I hope this game is not like Super Bust-a-Move! I hate the characters from that game. I'd rather stick with good ol' Bubblin.
Sonic Fan said:
I think this is like a dancing game.
Captain Jamesman said:
Does "puzzle" sound like dancing to you?

I'm puzzled that sonic fan thought it was a dance game.

Ekaj185 said:
I'm glad you don't have to dance. Me does have 2 right feet, and I think I'm left handed.
Captain Jamesman said:
Nice pun Ekaj185. I think this game should have more Taito characters, like Pocky & Rocky!
Captain Jamesman said:
The only guy I know here who has no idea what chibi is, is Sonic Fan.
Jason Pilcher said:
Is this like the old bust a move game?
Captain Jamesman said:
Yes, AND THE OLD BUST-A-MOVE ROCKS! It's way better then Super Bust-a-Move (which sucked!). Did I just hear something about Gamecube controllers were usable for this game? If so, then FREAKING SWEET!
Captain Jamesman said:
Who do you guys like better? Bubblin (Green Dragon), or Bobblin (Blue Dragon)? I vote for Bubblin!
Gonzo said:
Captain Jamesman really likes this game. Look how many comments he had.
Captain Jamesman said:
Thanks gonzo^^. and it's true, I'm freaking crazy over this game! I need a Wii and fast.

Captain Jamesman, it's bub and bob, no blin at the end, just simply bub and bob, look it up. They are the characters from Bubble Bobble.
Sonic Fan said:
Well the title sounded like a dance game to me.
Captain Jamesman said:
They're only called Bub & Bob in some B-A-M games. They were called Bubblin & Bobblin in Bust-a-Move 4 (except the i/e was replaced with u) and in the Bubble Bobble Series.
Captain Jamesman said:
If you don't agree with me Ryu, then go play Bubble Bobble Revolution for DS. You'll find out what I mean. Or go check wikipedia.
Devlin Daemon said:
I hope they will have more than 8 characters. Bust a Move 4 had a German speaking totem pole. I love that crazy stuff.
im mii said:
Notice the round numbers? I'm not gonna play for 500 something rounds.
Captain Jamesman said:
500 rounds? Sounds good to me!
Passion23 said:
8 players = four wiimotes, and 4 nunchucks non split-screen mayhem. Sounds like a blast! I have never played bust-a-move before but this game sounds promising and it's only 40 bucks.
Captain Jamesman said:
I finally got the game and it's freakin sweet. The levels are better, the characters are cool (even though I only played as Bubblin), and the shooter mode is awesome. How can it get any better then that?
AlexKidd said:
Captain Jamesman, should I get this game? Will you please write a review for everyone?
Fire Emblem Fan 14 said:
8 players!? This sounds really fun. Yeah CJ make a review! Need more info.
Enigma said:
The game sucks. No real entertainment value. No real motive. Very good concept for 8 controllers, that is all I can give it.
Captain Jamesman said:
Okay guys, I have just made a review and it should be up soon once Goomba or whoever does the work here approves the review.
AlexKidd said:
Thanks Captain.
Captain Jamesman said:
Well, there's the review, whatcha think?
Soul6ess said:
Bust a Move rocks, but it's not worth 40 bucks.
Crimson Hawk said:
That was a awesome review CJ, it inspired me to get the game, so I did and it is awesome!
Captain Jamesman said:
I'm glad you liked it CH. I hope they make a sequel.
Fire Emblem Fan 14 said:
Thanks CJ for all that info and sorry for making you go through all that work. Now I'm going to get Bust-a-move Bash!
Ian C said:
I like this one and bubble bobble.
techy1 said:
Just got bust a move. Why can't we get other remotes working in versus mode? Any ideas.
Captain Jamesman: Yo, I'm Jamesman, here to talk about the recently released, BUST-A-MOVE BASH!! In my opinion, it is by far,... read more

How to Prepare Yourself for Rescue WorkNovember 20th, 2014
Sarah Stull
If you dream of opening your own parrot rescue or sanctuary (and let's be honest, it crosses the minds of a lot of us once we've seen how birds suffer in the wrong environments!), the most important step of all is to get yourself ready. Many owners find that they are not suited mentally, physically, or emotionally.
What is the difference, first of all, between a parrot rescue and a parrot sanctuary? A rescue typically rehabilitates an …

Product description
The immortal story of Cleopatra. Passion and seduction, witches and warriors, and history and mythology combine to bring the timeless story of Cleopatra to life like never before in this stunningly original and spellbinding debut. The year is 30 BC. A messenger delivers word to Queen Cleopatra that her beloved husband, Antony, has died at his own hand. Desperate to save her kingdom and resurrect her husband, Cleopatra summons the most fearsome warrior goddess, Sekhmet, and against the warnings of her scholars she strikes a mortal bargain. But not even the wisest scholars could have predicted what would follow... In exchange for Antony's soul, Cleopatra is transformed into a vampiric creature of mythical proportions, an immortal shapeshifter with superhuman strength and an insatiable hunger for human blood-a being at once ferocious and seductive. And she is bent on vengeance against those who have wronged her family and her kingdom. Clashing against witches and monsters, gods and warriors, Cleopatra journeys from the tombs of Egypt to the great amphitheaters of Rome to the ancient underworld-where she will meet her love once again, and where the battle between man and beast will determine the fate of the world. Blending history, fantasy, romance, and the supernatural, Queen of Kings is a masterful feat of the imagination that fans of Diana Gabaldon, Patricia Briggs, Philippa Gregory, and Neil Gaiman won't want to miss.

Review quote
""Queen of Kings" is the definition of a page-turner: An epic historical thriller that combines a great love story with a slew of witches, gods, ghosts, and classical monsters. Add the Roman Army and Cleopatra and it is obvious: This is the book readers have been waiting for." -Danielle Trussoni, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Angelology"

"lots of content, well narrated"
Scary, convincing, tightly written and so efficiently packed full of content that not a word is superfluous. Whoever thinks that Bush is simply a bumbling fool needs to listen to this--although Ricks never comes out and says he's dangerous (or does he?), you know he is after listening/reading this book. I'm surprised that none of the other reviewers so far have mentioned the fine narration: A dry style with a twist of irony, absolutely perfect for this book, the narrator sounded like he was sitting across from me, telling me something he himself had witnessed and quoting the players as if he'd been right there when they said it.
In short, important subject, well written and well narrated. I'd give it six stars if I could.
"Fine debut novel"
I was very surprised to find out that this is Ms. Harris' debut novel--the writing is excellent. It took me a while to get into it, but it's intriguing, funny and sad--and most of all, unexpected. As another reviewer wrote, I wasn't sure if it was going to get kinky or psychopathic; it turned out being both, in a non-acted out way. Repressed sexuality is rampant in this book, and the writing is convincingly Victorian (well, at least I think so...). The author also narrates, and does a superb job of it.
I'm anticipating her next book.
"A Classic"
Great book, great narration! In the beginning, I feared that the somewhat antiquated American language would turn the kids off, but they quickly got used to it, and now both author and narrator have a 55-year-old woman and 12- and 9-year-old boys hanging on their every word. Warning to parents: The N-word is used frequently, but it belongs to the book, and I think adults should explain to the kids that people used that word back then--my kids were a little shocked (especially since we had talked about Don Imus and his racial slurs) until I explained it to them. It's a good opportunity to show how attitudes change, and that people who held such attitudes back then shouldn't be judged according to our 21st-century views. And it's also a good opportunity to show what doesn't change: children's scrapes and silliness, playing hooky, human degradation and human kindness.
I'm writing this before we've gotten to the part where the boys go downriver with Jim--I can hardly wait to see how the boys react to that, but I wanted to take this opportunity to go ahead and praise this audiobook.
"great reading of an almost-great book"
Another fine book by Cornelia Funke, the best contemporary children's author around (yes, even better than J.K. rowling, another great one--why weren't there such good children's authors around when I was a kid?), in my opinion. My son and I have been reading Ms. Funke's books since we discovered Drag Rider. And we've been listening to them, too. Brendan Fraser's reading of Dragon Rider was a delight (see my review), but Lynn Redgrave's narration of Inkheart is even better. Their styles are so different, it's hard to compare: like comparing a cartoon with straight literature. Or, in the case of Ms. Redgrave, I'd call it classic literature: Ms. Redgrave is a fine actress and has been at this for a long time, and it shows. Her narration is spellbinding, her voice slides effortlessly between convincingly masculine, feminine, good or evil, without jumping registers or losing its quality of being Lynn Redgrave's voice. And that takes more than talent, that takes skill, and Lynn Redgrave has both. So I've written most of these words in praise of Lynn Redgrave--but it's her narration that made this almost-great book into a great audiobook.
"good book, fantastic narrator"
Having read a few of Cornelia Funke's books in German and in English (and the English translations are very good), I thought that Dragon Rider was good, but not one of her best. It's simpler, and excellent for early primary-grade children. The narrator, however, is magnificent. I've always liked Brendan Fraser as an actor, especially as a comedian, since he's got that boyish charm. After listening to this narration, I believe I know why: he's a kid at heart! His accents, lisps, growls, bellows, gurgles and tongue rolls bring more out of the characters than I ever thought. Mellow voice for the dragon, hysterical lisp for the homunculus, and I like the way he does not do the female characters in a silly falsetto...I could go on listing all the characters. Suffice to say that if Brendan Fraser has kids, they sure are lucky to have this guy reading bedtime stories to them! Let's hope he continues narrating.
"Good idea, mediocre execution."
Although I didn't have the misfortune of attending American high school, I have a low regard for them. So I agree with Mr. Loewen, who, as a college history teacher, is annually confronted with the product of high school history classes, and I was eager to hear how and why high school deadens any interest in history. Mr. Loewen rightly objects to the two-dimensional view of history and historical figures, to the right-wing slant, and to the ethno- and eurocentricity of high school history courses; he uses 12 high school textbooks to illustrate his point(s), and he goes on and on and on, grinding the same old point home till you just can't stand it anymore...Add to that a pompous narration and you have a bad audiobook. I think the idea's good, though, and would be interested in the author's next book.
"More, please!"
I'm very impressed, Professor Peters! This is an excellent survey of how Jews, Christians and Muslims view and act toward their one god. When I saw that the author was also the narrator, I hesitated; however, my interest in the subject matter led me to go ahead and buy the book, and Prof. Peters' voice and intonation is light and charming, his style is almost conversational, and I never for one moment was in danger of nodding off. I highly recommend this book: It's informative, interesting, and you might even find yourself listening to the whole thing more than once.
"Aristotle's reception through the ages."
Very well done! If you like this kind of history--following one thread through history to see the role it plays in the panorama of culture, politics and society--you'll like this very much. This is a story of reason--in the form of Aristotle's life and work--in European history (up to the Renaissance). It's serious, entertaining without giving the complexity of the subject matter short shrift, well-written and well-narrated; however, if you don't like history, or if you just want a quick cruise through the middle ages, this book will bore you.
"For a mediocre book, it gripped me."
Honestly, it was kind of irritating: This book was very suspenseful, and kept me listening right to the (very good) ending. But it's not a good book! It's poorly written, and whenever the author wrote "guilt ripped through him", or about "mind-numbing discoveries" or "burnished hair" (or was it burgundy hair?--something silly like that), it ticked me off that I was in the thrall of a book like this. The idea was real good, so Dan Brown can't be all bad, but he needs better language.

Prodigal son wins £3m in battle over farmer's will: Sister loses appeal to her 'lazy' brother
John Suggitt was awarded a £3m slice of his father's farm, despite his dad thinking he was a 'lazy'
As a teenager, he gave up his weekends and holidays to work on the family farm, preparing himself for the day when it would all be his.
But after John Suggitt dropped out of agricultural college and frittered away tens of thousands of pounds, his father Frank decided his 'lazy' only son was not worthy of the land after all.
The farmer wrote John out of his will – leaving his £4million estate to his university graduate daughter Caroline instead.
Now, following their father's death, brother and sister have found themselves at the centre of an extraordinary legal battle.
John, now 31, challenged his father's will, claiming that Frank had repeatedly promised he would one day inherit the farm.
And a High Court judge agreed, ruling that as John had worked for years for no wage on the understanding that the farm would one day be his, he was entitled to it.
He awarded John a £3million share of the estate, including the 400 acres of farmland and a £760,000 house for his family to live in.
But Caroline, 37, challenged that ruling at the Court of Appeal in London, insisting it went against the wishes expressed in her father's will – which stated that John should not get his hands on the land until she believed he was capable of farming it.
However, her bid to snatch back the estate was rejected yesterday.
Lady Justice Arden, sitting in the Appeal Court with Lord Justice Sullivan and Sir Nicholas Wall, said a key factor was that Frank had given 'unconditional' assurances to his son that he would receive the farmland and a house to live in when he died.
The court heard how the siblings were split by a 'deep rift' after Frank died aged 65 in 2009, with their divorced mother and two sisters siding with John over Caroline.
Well Field farm in Whemby, Yorkshire, which boasts 400 acres of farmland and a £760,000 house
At the time, Caroline had been living with her father in a £260,000 bungalow on the family estate near Whenby, North Yorkshire, and had been assured she would be a 'rich woman on his death'.
Just a few hundred yards away was the farmhouse, where John lived with his partner and three children, and another £465,000 house which was being restored.
Caroline Suggitt had been told by her father she would be a 'rich woman on his death'
The family's land was valued at more than £2million and there was almost £150,000 in the bank.
But in the original High Court ruling, Judge Roger Kaye pointed out that Frank was a 'Yorkshire farmer, not a lawyer' and his will stated that if in Caroline's opinion John 'showed himself capable of working on and managing' the farm then it should be transferred to him.
Despite awarding John a £3million share in the estate, Judge Kaye acknowledged the difficult relationship between the farmer and his son, saying John was 'apt to grumble and complain that his father gave him nothing' and seemed 'entirely to overlook the fact that his father paid everything for him', including his food, lodging, living expenses and college fees.
Frank wanted John to be 'a good farmer in the family tradition' and he did not turn out as he hoped.
'Frank brought John up in a tough way and in a tough world, but John could not cope,' Judge Kaye said.
As a young man John worked on the farm at weekends and holidays and was given his own livestock and 50 acres to manage. But at the age of 19, he dropped out of college and 'ran through' a £38,000 bequest from an aunt in just nine months.
John briefly left home after his father decided he was not fit to run the farm and recruited another farmer. When he returned, he worked in a pub and a shop before setting up his own poultry and livery business with Frank's support.
Under the judge's ruling – upheld by the Appeal Court – John will be able to take over the running of the farm when the sharing agreement in place with another farmer expires this year.
Caroline was left to choose which of the remaining homes to live in and will keep the remainder of the estate.
The judge concluded: 'One of the unfortunate features of this case has been the inability of the parties to compromise an obviously compromisable case. Whether they now do so in light of this judgment is a matter for them.'

LG said recently that its G3 flagship would be getting the bump to Android 5.0 Lollipop sometime this month, making it among the first third party smartphones to get the update. The good news is that is seems the roll out of Google's latest and greatest will start for the G3 this week, with the South Korean variant reported to be getting the update by Friday.
LG has raised the curtain on yet another new device, with the Korean company now going all Samsung on us and trying to fill every niche and every price point. The new LG Transpyre is actually a device we saw last month as the LG F60, a handset that falls firmly in the budget bracket and even comes with a spot of LTE connectivity.
LG has done that classic thing smartphone companies do to prolong their device by giving it a fresh splash of color a few months after its initial launch. In this case it is the G3 getting the new hue with the Korean company confirming a new colorway for its well liked flagship powerhouse.
LG is keeping up its consistent smartphone releases with another new handset, the oddly named LG AKA, a device that has actually been rumoured over the last month. The company raised the curtain on the AKA in its South Korea homeland today and said that the handset is oriented for young people, and to entice those pesky teenagers the AKA comes with unique cases that turn into different characters (sigh).
While Samsung is making headway in the folded screen department, the company is not alone in this field. Sure, the Galaxy Note Edge is the first such device on the market and Samsung is pioneering the tech, but Korean compatriot LG is also working on its own bendy screen technology. The company says that it will have products ready for 2017.
LG is jumping on the Android 5.0 Lollipop bandwagon in double time as the company has revealed that its G3 smartphone flagship will be getting this week. The Korean company says that the over the air update will start being issued this week, starting in... Poland. LG said that more important markets will follow in the near future (thought to be this month) and that it will also offer details of other handsets getting Android 5.0 soon.
LG's new round faced G Watch R is already available through the Google Play Store and AT&T in the United States and now Sprint has joined the party. The Now Network has revealed that it will begin offering the G Watch R from November 14th, giving consumers ever more options for buying the Korean company's newest smartwatch. The company will sell the wearable for $25 per month over one year on the Sprint Easy Pay method, or a $300 one off payment.
LG's arrival as one of the main players in the smartphone world continued through the third quarter as the company posted stellar financial results. LG has risen through the ranks over the last 18 months and has used several strategies to place itself among the elite handset manufacturers on the planet.
LG as a company will look back on 2014 as the year in which it turned a very important corner in the smartphone world. Sales have increased, the G3 arrived with plenty of hype and lived up to it, and the Korean company is also making its own processors now. What's more, LG is finally getting serious about software, which was first in evidence after even a quick play with its G3 UI, and is now all but confirmed as the company said the G3 flagship with be getting Android 5.0 Lollipop before the end of the year.
LG has announced its first ever mobile processor, and no, it is not named Odin (the codename for the chip) but instead will be known as "NUCLUN". I liked Odin better, but regardless the new architecture is rolling out in a new LG device, and there is little surprise to see it is a variant of the G3 flagship. The G3 Screen was launched over the weekend.

text: Serious question: Who will win the 'race to zero' in the cloud? November 25, 2014 8:30 PM | Alex Guy, Interoute As the public-cloud market enters its adolescence, the pervasive concept of a "race to zero" has created an impression that only the established leviathans can compete in the space. On their path to dominance the likes of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Compute Engine, and Microsoft Azure gobble up nascent software-as-a-service startups and lesser infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service providers as they aggressively drive down costs and make it seem unattractive for customers to not be in the cloud. Google's latest round of price cuts on an array of services and applications have reaffirmed this popularly held belief.

Ladies Night Out 5K run/walk to be held Saturday in Manchester
Manchester is hosting the Ladies Night Out Run, Wine and Chocolate, an event pretty much summarized by its name. It's for women only, although men can volunteer provided they dress up and provide a little charm between the start and red-carpet finish.
This is the second such event for Salem, Mass.-based B&S. The first was held in December in Newburyport, Mass., when many runners were decked out with holiday cheer such as Santa hats and other attire more eccentric than typical fitnesswear.
The run starts at 4 p.m. Saturday outside Runner's Alley on Hanover Street, which will be closed off from Chestnut to Elm streets during the festivities starting at 2 p.m.
Organizers are expecting up to 300 runners. The finish will be lined with a red carpet and volunteers will be there with a carnation and Ladies Night Out wine glass. The reception area is basically up and down that block of Hanover Street with hors d'oeuvres, chocolate and various beverages — including a selection of something white, red or rose' to fill the new wine glasses. Several businesses have partnered with B&S for the event and will be supplying the food and drink.
Registration is $65 for adults and $30 for ladies under age 21 and can be completed online or on Saturday outside Runner's Alley starting at 2:30 p.m. Some of the proceeds will go to the American Heart Association and Easter Seals.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
It really does pay to attend Centrallia
Every business person in Winnipeg did not attend Centrallia events last week.
And some of those who weren't there probably wished they were for all sorts of different reasons.
One reason would be that just about everyone they spoke to who did attend probably told them how great an event it actually was.
-- Tom Tessier had to have his arm twisted before he agreed to attend. But the founder and president of Winnipeg's Solara Remote Data Delivery, a niche satellite communication device manufacturer, said he probably made a sale worth tens of thousands of dollars to an Algerian air ambulance firm.
-- Harvey Chorney, the vice-president of Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute in Portage la Prairie, said he was blown away.
The non-profit organization can't survive without fee-for-service development work and Chorney said he's got plenty of leads, including some in the U.S. and Europe, in the meetings he had.
-- Robert Hooper of Hooper Containers Inc. is trying to launch a company making a new hybrid shipping container.
He said by attending Centrallia, he got his foot in all sorts of doors he needed to get through.
Several Winnipeg institutions such as the Composites Innovation Centre and the Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals hosted tours.
At the least, their respective profiles have been enhanced and important international contacts were made.
Mariette Mulaire is the president of ANIM, the province's bilingual trade agency, which organizes the event. (Last week's Centrallia was the second time it's been held in Winnipeg.)
"There were so many real stories," Mulaire said. "I was shocked with how many people said they actually made deals, because I always told people that deals don't actually get done at the event... that it's the followup that counts."
Centrallia is a weird kind of event, unlike anything else offered in Winnipeg and unlike anything else most of those who registered had ever attended before.
It shares some similarities to trade shows and industry association conventions, except it's a mash-up of all sorts of industries and individuals who are really not connected.
In fact, those who attend are looking to get connected.
The unique and most worthwhile part of the event are the half-hour speed-dating meetings, as many as 14 of them over two days.
An amazing number of people who attended declared afterwards they made great contacts, even though many didn't even know who they were meeting in the first place.
But as pumped as everyone seems to be in the early aftermath, the planning and organizing of the thing is fraught with challenges.
Still a little punch-drunk a few days after the event, Mulaire was calm enough this week to understand it really did work out despite the fact tha scores of people from around the world could not attend because they could not get Canadian visas, many local businesses who said they would attend needed aggressive prodding, and the fact keynote speaker, Malcolm Gladwell, commanded such a high fee, making it a very risky evening for the organizers.
Even after all that, Mulaire said she's pretty certain there will be another Centrallia in 2015.
But she admits she is not looking forward to another round of arm-twisting to get people to register.
Her organization is in the process of transitioning into the secretariat for the new Winnipeg branch of the World Trade Center Association, and that will have some impact on the manner in which the next Centrallia is organized.
It might also have some impact on the manner in which trade-development efforts in Manitoba are co-ordinated.
For instance, one of the reasons for holding Centrallia in the first place is to help get Winnipeg on the international trade map.
But whereas there are plenty of out-bound trade missions led by politicians Manitoba companies can join, there are far fewer inbound ones.
Were there more ongoing international promotion of Manitoba, it might not be so difficult to get people to attend something like Centrallia.
But then again, if that was the case, there might not be such a compelling reason to hold the event in the first place.
