Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, BC, November 23Reviews > Concert > Nov 24 2012Photo: Caily DiPumaBy Alan Ranta8Ace guitarist Becky Black and stalwart drummer Maya Miller only play a show or two a year in their hometown of Vancouver, for fear of wearing out their fans. As such, it's always a treat when they come out, allowing one to gauge their progress. And progress, they have. Even since their Unpersons album release party at the Rickshaw in January, Miller and Black have both evolved.Black has absorbed her guitar; it's no longer a tool in her employ. Rather, on the Commodore stage, it hung off her shoulders like an extra pair of arms, her command of the instrument as casual and intuitive as any appendage. It looked as if she rolled out of bed with it on, walked on stage and blew her punk-fuelled blues-rock wad all over our faces.Perhaps not a technically great singer, Black's lyrics were often indecipherable and their cadence occasionally strained, but she was believable. She didn't pull any punches, giving no hint of pretense in her visceral performance. It's no act with her. For that, we have Miller's hilarious sarcasm and posh white jacket, providing a sense of theatricality between crushing her icky thump on drums, abusing her kit in the best way possible.Notably, Miller's banter was far more subdued than at their album release party. Her best bit here was when she pretended to be an out-of-town band via rapid-fire commentary on the rain. Ultimately, this less-nonsense approach contributed to a smoother, more content-filled show. It's apparent how seriously they take this."Lights" was the second track the the Pack A.D. played, before saying a word to the crowd. The song's breakneck speed and thrashy intensity set the tone for the evening. By "Haunt You," there was a near constant stream of front-row people clawing their way onto the stage and diving back into the dark. This got to the point of Miller asking people not to hurt themselves, which was followed by someone accidently unplugging Black's guitar and knocking over her mic, cueing the encore walk-off.It's hard to blame anyone for getting caught up in it all, though. The duo demolished almost their entire Unpersons album. "Ride" got heads bobbing around like a corn-popper push toy. "Rid of Me" exploded, a barn burner containing that "just don't give a fuck" attitude, but not put on like so many blues rock Thorogood wannabands.The band's live rendition of "Positronic" would blow away the song's comparative studio refinery as heard in the video that was played in the intermission before their set. "Seasick" was practically a ballad in context, taking their unshakable West Coast swagger downtempo a few shades. Yet they captivated during the eye of the storm as much as in the blitzkriegs surrounding them.With Unpersons being almost a year old, the Pack A.D. also brought out a few new tracks, including their recently SoundClouded fuzz bomb "The Water." If this set was any indication, Vancouver will be lucky to keep these women as their own moving forward. GET IT!

Some idiot put me in a bag and threw me in a dumpster behind the YMCA. My owner heard me crying when she was walking to her car and went to see what was going on. She found me in the dumpster and took me home. After giving me a bath(I was filthy), she took me to the vets to make sure I was OK. The vet said that I was shook up and a little dehydrated, but otherwise OK. I was only 4-5 weeks old. I could barely eat or drink on my own. My owner had to feed me canned food for a couple of months and give me water to drink from a syringe. I wasn't litter boxed trained either. Luckily I am a fast learner. I watched my buddy Rocky use the litter box, and I learned from him. My owner loved me from the first moment she saw me and decided to keep me.

HAMPDEN, MASS. — It was in the wee hours of a sale that began at 5 pm on July 1 — a school or work night, for most folks — that Stanton Auctions offered the lot that auctioneer Peter Imler confidently predicted would be a top seller. Though only a handful of would-be buyers remained inside Stanton's hall, a cozy red barn outfitted with cushion-strewn theater seats and a new air-conditioning system, Imler had no trouble reaching prime bidders, many of whom were going about their morning routines on the far side of the planet.
The lot, a pale gray Japanese Meiji era cloisonné tray decorated with flying ducks and marked with the seal of the Namikawa Sosuke (1847–1910) workshop, sailed past even its high estimate, selling to an Internet bidder for $13,200.
Such is life in these modern times, said Imler, owner of the auction house founded by his father in 1980. Typical attendance at the barn, which used to be standing-room-only, has declined even as the number of virtual bidders has soared.
"We average about 400 registered bidders from all over the world. Even local people feel more comfortable bidding at home with their feet up," Imler said.
The July 1 sale also pointed to the limitations of Internet bidding, with good buys going to buyers who showed up, stayed the course and walked away with the items. Prices for mid-level American furniture, the predominant offering this round, left room for dealers looking to make a profit and enticements for young couples looking to furnish a house affordably.
Much of the Americana on offer was from one New City, N.Y., collection.
"If she had one example, she had ten. The house was loaded. You don't see that much anymore," the auctioneer said of the consignor who delighted in Windsor chairs, sawbuck tables, stepback cupboards and simple country pieces with scrubbed tops.
Imler was particularly pleased with a Connecticut River Valley bonnet top highboy, $13,225, and block-front chest of drawers, $8,050, both of which sold to a private buyer from Marietta, Ga.
Another highlight was a Queen Anne dressing table, $6,325, possibly from the Rappahannock River Valley of Virginia. It went to a New England dealer.
The consignor parted reluctantly with a European secretary desk, $8,050, Biedermeier or possibly an earlier Dutch example, with fine inlays and elaborate fittings.
"She had it in her bedroom. It was the last thing we put on the truck," Imler said.
A set of ten Philadelphia Chippendale side chairs crossed the block at $8,050. In a stronger market, they might have made $12,000, said the auctioneer. An assembled set of six hoop-back Windsor side chairs were at steal at $546.
"I've adjusted my thinking. You have to deal with the reality of the age," noted the auctioneer.
Pilgrim Century pieces included a chest, sold to the phone for $1,495; a ball-foot blanket chest with geometric molding and original red paint, $1,265; and a spice chest with six drawers and tear-drop pulls, $1,035.
A Boston Chippendale one-drawer card table crossed the block at $5,750; a Charleston tilt-top table made $5,750; a Portsmouth Sheraton figured maple and cherry writing stand went off at $2,070; and a Salem mahogany and satinwood demilune card table coaxed a bid of $2,070.
There were temptations among the small selection of paintings, as well. Stanton Auctions speculated that an oil on canvas initialed "T.C.," which sold to a phone bidder for $4,200, might be a rare portrait by the Nineteenth Century American artist Thomas Cole of his wife.
Stanton featured several seascapes by the contemporary Anglo-American marine artist Brian Coole (b 1939), one of which, a depiction of the America's Cup race off Cowes, Isle of Wight, made $4,888. Contemporary folk art by Evelyn S. Dubiel also attracted notice, a primitive view of the Lieutenant River near the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Conn., bringing $805.
Imler started the sale with children's furniture, again from the New City, N.Y., estate. The charming miniatures prompted the auctioneer to suggest, "Maybe if we start our kids young enough with antiques like these they'll get it one day."
Not a bad suggestion from an old hand.
Watch this space for details of Stanton's anniversary auction in August.
"We've been collecting for it," said Imler's daughter, Roxanne Reuling, office manager and auction director.
Stanton's is at 106 East Longmeadow Road in Hampden. For more information, www.stantonauctions.com or 413-566-3161.

Woking welcomes it's new Market
Market Walk, Woking's new covered Market was opened on 4th October at a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by the Mayor Tony Branagan accompanied by his wife. Also present were (on the left) local MP Jonathan Lord, together with Councillor Gary Elson.
The new Covered Market replaces the Open Market on Victoria Way due to be closed for redevelopment in the New Year and has been created from the cavernous walkway which formerly separated the Wolsey Place and Peacocks Shopping Centres. A new mezzanine floor has been built to create backup storage and provide space for preparation areas and coldrooms. The walkway is now lined lined with 15 fully-equipped lock-up kiosks which offer food, catering and specialist offers – with a funky new 'Mood ceiling' with constantly changing LED lights.
Market Walk also offers gazebo stalls for Casual stallholders and trades 7-days per week. Traders on the old Open Market have been promised they can remain trading through the Christmas period and Woking's popular monthly Farmers Market continues to stand on Jubilee Square, at the end of Market Walk.
The new Market is a key element of ambitious plans to revitalise the Town Centre. Councillor Kingsbury said: "Thanks to the Council's continuing investment we've breathed life into a drab and unoccupied part of the town to the benefit of both Traders and Visitors – and above all, Woking."
The Market was designed by Quarterbridge working in conjunction with Benoy Architects. Quarterbridge have also provided the staff and set up a new management company to operate the Market on behalf of Woking Council.
Jonathan Owen of Quarterbridge said: 'Demand for kiosks and stalls has been excellent and we've opened fully-let. This new Market enables independent businesses to trade in a prime location at modest cost and shows how Markets still deliver the variety and footfall lost from so many Town Centres. Mary Portas – please note".
The new Market includes two Catering units, a Butcher, Baker, Fishmonger and Florist.

Mushroom Roulette: "Market Matters" November 2014
It's that time of year when every Market business should be buying-in product for the New Year. All successful retailers rely on their Buyers to source new product and 'refresh their offer' on a regular basis and that means up to 12 months in advance. Identifying new lines is more important than ever nowadays whilst the wholesale industry continues to shrink as Supermarket Buyers bypass it and source product direct from the producers. Short shelf-life products to which you can add value by processing are less problematical than products where you're reliant on what the wholesaler has in stock. Nowadays it is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate yourself from the competition and maintain a margin over the bulk discounters. Some new thinking may be overdue.
How about a romantic weekend break to visit some European Markets? There are excellent value Citybreak deals on offer from Easyjet and Wizzair to places like Krakow, Budapest and Barcelona. Take a long weekend to see what their Markets are selling and talk to the Traders. They almost always speak English and have a keen interest in what's happening in the UK. Maybe you fancy opening a Polski Sklep or stocking-up with the seasonal goods seen on Budapest's Christmas Market on Vorosmarty Square. Sourcing from abroad can still be profitable from countries like Poland and Hungary which have had the good sense to remain outside the Eurozone. My favourite is Budapest whose Central Market Hall offers a wonderful range of handicrafts, clothing and food all year round. It's big and busy and at this time of year you can buy a live Carp to keep in your bath and fatten-up for Christmas, or a bushel of locally-picked wild mushrooms.
Foraging for wild mushrooms in the Autumn is a popular tradition in Central Europe – a bit like Elvering in Gloucestershire. But whether it's Hungary or England you need proper instruction to identify the species before you wolf them down. Otherwise when you go down to the woods today you might have a very VERY big surprise. Ask Nicholas Evans, the best-selling author of 'The Horse Whisperer' who ended up having a kidney transplant and putting several members of his family on kidney dialysis. The police also take a keen interest in the cultivation of certain types (say no more) so there's not mushroom for mistakes.
There are some 2000 species of mushroom in the UK of which 200 are delicious, 300 are very VERY bad for you while Scientists admit 1500 are 'don't knows'. Information is available at various sites like www.foragingguide.com and www.rogersmushrooms.com but they have VERY big disclaimers and recommend you always put an uncooked sample to one side to help your hospital diagnose the problem.
As the trend for organic, home-grown food has caught on many people have started foraging in their local woods for edible varieties. Dr John Thompson, director of the National Poisons Information Service in Cardiff has warned of the potential dangers involved: 'At this time of year we see a noticeable increase in poisoning cases as it is not always easy to differentiate between toxic and non-toxic species – even for people with experience in foraging'. He sounds like a real fungi to sit next to at a dinner party. Celebrity Chefs like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall have been banging-on about organic delicacies such as field mushrooms for years but it's noticeable that survival experts like Ray Mears and Bear Grylls have steered clear. Maybe they've been warned-off by their public liability insurers after the 237 recorded cases of poisoning in 2013, many amongst children. This year's wet August and mild Autumn seems likely to result in a bumper crop and the Government Public Health Service has issued a warning after recording some100 cases of poisoning in September alone.
European countries are much better organised to cope than the UK. In Budapest you're obliged to present your mushrooms to an official 'Mushroom Inspector' stationed in a kiosk on the Market who then either approves them for sale or confiscates them before you can serve them up to your mother-in-law.
But of course Chefs love to use fresh mushrooms in their recipes all the time, not just in the harvesting season. So the French invented the 'Champignon de Paris' – an edible species grown all year round by 'Champignonnieres' in abandoned limestone quarries under the City suburbs. A couple still operate today but the wholesale trade has come to rely on the tasteless 'button' mushroom grown in so-called mushroom farms. Fortunately new exotic species like Shiitake and Inoki are also now in production and they taste excellent but also look similar to some wild nasties. Industrial production has at least reduced the risk of playing mushroom roulette.
I've not yet seen an official Mushroom Inspector on a UK Market but thanks to climate change they may arrive soon. In the meantime I suggest you restrict yourself to foraging for fresh field mushrooms and cooking them with bacon. I found some real beauties when out walking my dogs this morning and they tasted delicious.
See you next month. Maybe.
Tweet Tweet: "Market Matters" October 2014
Pied Wagtails and Tesco don't mix – just like Seagulls and Open Markets.
Last month the Supermarket chain was forced to rethink plans to shoot a bird flying around it's Great Yarmouth store . It evaded capture for several weeks before Tesco applied for a licence to shoot it, at which point TV "SpringWatch" presenter Chris Packham suggested there was a better way. He Tweeted on Twitter (nice one) that the British Trust for Ornithology would be able to capture and release it. Tesco agreed to look at the alternatives but since then it has all gone very quiet and the bird has not been available for comment.
Tesco's Wagtail problem is nothing compared to the Seagull nuisance on some Open Markets. I've visited several this year where Zombie Seagulls have become a real problem and trade is suffering as a result. Clothing displays have to be kept under cover to avoid 'fouling from above' and fresh food traders have cleared-off because of the hygiene issues. Shoppers are assaulted and the Market has shrunk in size as a result. If anyone suggests they should be culled (the Seagulls that is, not the Traders) the tree-huggers come out of the woods and the press have a field day.
And it's not just a problem for Markets – Hoteliers are increasingly fending-off complaints from guests woken by the 4.00am dawn chorus. Truro is a lovely place to stay but try finding a quiet hotel room in the summer – the squawking sounds like your first spouse and in-laws at Christmas.
The problem is partly-created by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 which makes it an offence to disturb or harm any birds or eggs, or their nests when in use. Traders, Shopkeepers and Hoteliers who try to shift the problem onto their local Council often find the Act used as an excuse for inaction whilst in reality the problem is money – who should pay to solve the problem? Perhaps building owners should be more responsible and put netting over their roofs – or takeaway food outlets be reduced in number to reduce public 'grazing' and refuse? It has all got very political since dustbins were replaced by refuse bags and takeaway outlets have multiplied. UK Seagull numbers are on the increase whilst in Europe numbers they are falling. This is largely due to the Italians shooting anything which flies and the French eating whatever remains. Seagulls are remarkably intelligent beasties and have flown over to Scarborough, Rhyl and Swansea instead.
The Act does make provision for control measures in the event of a 'nuisance or risk to Health & Safety' and anyone can apply for a licence to control numbers. Just like Tesco, British Aerospace at Warton aerodrome applied for a licence to cull seagulls on the nearby Ribble estuary – home to thousands of pairs which cause damage to their aircraft. In response the RSPB lodged (and lost) an appeal to the High Court which cost them £100,000 in legal fees.
If someone finds the money then various control measures are available: Prevention (netting and anti-roosting spikes) are expensive but shooting is hit and miss (sorry about the pun). 'Predator control' was invented 150 years ago by the Duke of Wellington when the Crystal Palace became infested with sparrows. Ken Livingstone and the GLA tried this again in the '80's and treated Londoners to the sight of pigeons being ripped apart whilst still alive on the pavements of Trafalgar Square. This was not good PR. Nottingham and Norwich Councils have tried that as well and although the tourists objected some locals apparently enjoyed it as a good substitute for fox-hunting.
A discrete industry has now grown up to control seagulls and pigeons, but it's not cheap. If you have a problem then your Market Authority will not like the cost. The most humane method is to coat the eggs with oil whilst still in the nest or replace them with plastic ones. Mummy seagull continues to sit quietly on them but they never hatch – then after she's cleared off you remove the nest and put up a net to stop her returning next year. But please NEVER allow a Market Manager loose with a permit and an air rifle after hours. He'll cause more damage to buildings then the birds.
Some birds are still welcome on Markets – Parrots for instance. They're noisy and good-natured but do tend to argue with the Manager. A lot like Traders. Who's a pretty boy now then?
First glimpse of the New Woking Market: "Market Matters" September 2014
Councillors had a first glimpse of the new Covered Market in Woking earlier this month. The £4 million project forms part of wider Town Centre improvements by the Borough Council which include refurbishing the 1970's Wolsey Place Shopping Centre and repaving Commercial Way, the retail heart of Woking.
The new covered Market Walk replaces the existing Open Market on Victoria Way due to be replaced with a new Hotel, Offices and Apartments as part of the improvements, but Councillors have promised existing Traders the current Market will remain open for Christmas trading.
Councillors were shown around by Council Officers and Quarterbridge who designed the new facility in conjunction with Benoy Architects. Quarterbridge is also providing interim management services through a new operating Company, Woking Market Ltd.
The new Market has been built in the double-height walkway previously separating Wolsey Place from the adjacent Peacocks Shopping Centre. A new mezzanine floor was installed to create for backup storage accessed directly off the Shopping centre's service yard. It is equipped with coldrooms for fresh food uses and ambient storage cages for others. The ground floor walkway beneath has been repaved and 15 lockup kiosks provided, ranging from 750 to 1800 sq ft. Two of these are fully-equipped for catering with designated seating areas and three others fitted-out with fridges and display counters for a Butcher, Delicatessen and Fishmonger. The remainder are equipped with lighting, heating and standing-out display areas for greengrocery, florists and fashion sales.
Hayden Ferriby, Lettings Director for Quarterbridge said: "Demand for the kiosks has been excellent – too much in fact, but that's a nice problem to have. It's still a Market offering low-cost premises for Stallholders and excellent value for Shoppers. This investment will strengthen and diversify the town centre's retail offer and help Stallholders keep pace with the multiples".
Market Walk will trade 7-days per week and include a further 7 demountable daystalls for 'casual' traders in addition to the monthly Farmers and Specialist Market on Jubilee Square. Traders facilities are a vast improvement and include on-site preparation rooms, WC's, data cabling and a state-of-the-art 'Mood ceiling' with background lighting which changes colour!

(Re)cycling across Europe: "Market Matters" August 2014
Remember the Bernard Matthews scandal of 2007 and how imported turkey meat may have brought HN51 into the UK? And the horsemeat burgers of 2013 – which was more likely to give you the trots etc? Well it seems Farming Minister George Eustice has beaten his former DEFRA stablemate Owen Paterson to the post in the debate on food labelling.
Despite Owen's pledge to impose mandatory 'country of origin' labelling it now looks likely that new EU rules in 2015 will be significantly watered-down. The UK initially proposed all meat foodstuffs – unprocessed and processed – should be labelled with their country of origin. But now, after sustained lobbying of DEFRA by food processors it seems likely processed food will be exempted from the new regulations. Processors will not be obliged to say where their meat ingredients originate from, which is just as well as it could be from a dozen or so countries. Baking a Pie in the UK using processed meat ingredients from several countries will still qualify as 'Made in Britain' which of course reads much better to consumers than 'Assembled in Britain'. After a series of meetings with the British Meat Processors Association Mr Eustice has informed the EU that: 'National labelling….would place an unnecessary financial burden on business'.
Mr Eustice's change of heart has been hailed as a victory by dodgy EU abattoirs and processors who are heaving a sigh of relief. Not so the advisors to David Cameron who stated in 2007: 'Food can be imported to Britain, processed here, and subsequently labelled in a way that suggests it's genuinely British. That is completely wrong.' He even launched an 'Honest Food Campaign' pledging compulsory labelling for food origins. But that was when he was in opposition and 3 years away from leading a coalition government.
Meurig Raymond, the president of the National Farmers Union said: "I find this very strange behaviour from our ministers". Peter Melchett, policy director of the Soil Association, accused DEFRA of allowing business to dictate policy, saying: "Owen Paterson and his ministers are saying all the right things, but there is a gap between the rhetoric and what gets done. So who is pulling the strings?"
Who knows – but of course it will still be an offence to inaccurately describe a product e.g. a 'beef and onion' pie which actually contains horsemeat. But provided the contents are hygienically-processed and therefore wholesome to eat such mislabelling is only a descriptive failure so unlikely to result in anything more than a slap on the wrist for the producer.
Processed foods comprise a significant part of the estimated 3.4 million tonnes of food wasted every year in the UK food processing, packaging and distribution industries before it even reaches retailers and restaurants. After it does an additional 400,000 tonnes are discarded by UK retailers whilst still edible.
The 'All Party Parliamentary inquiry into Hunger and Food Poverty' chaired by Frank Field MP reported as much last month and showed how many of those 800 million would-be meals are then converted into 'Biogas'. Fermenting edible food waste into biofuel and hence electricity is encouraged by £30 million of subsidy from the Department of Energy and Climate Change. The Committee then illustrated how non-subsidised organisations such as 'FareShare' – distributors of surplus foodto Foodbanks – have to charge £100/tonne to collect it from supermarkets, so are losing-out to biogas producers.
Frank called the system 'Madness on stilts' and the Committee called for changes to the system of subsidies. That in turn highlighted the incentives offered by HM Government to meet the '15% electricity from renewables' target for 2020. Food waste has now become part of the wider argument for and against subsidising otherwise-uneconomical 'renewable' generation such as windfarms.
This shameful waste has been known for a long time but Frank hopes to ramp up the pressure on processors, wholesalers and retailers to produce less waste and then offer what's left to worthy causes. OK, some retailers do donate to FareShare but industry-wide this represents less than 2% of waste – a token gesture. Tesco have confirmed 68% of it's bagged salads and 48% of it's bakery goods are discarded.
Meanwhile 25-year old, Bordeaux-born cyclist Baptiste Dubanchet has perfected his skip-diving skills whilst scavenging his way across Europe. To highlight the scandal of food waste he lived solely off the contents of supermarket and restaurant skips during a 3-month, 1,900 mile odyssey pedalling through France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic and Poland. He looks none the worse for it and you can follow his blog: 'La Faim du Monde' at www.lafaimdumonde2014.com Monsieur Dubanchet is supported by the likes of Mary McGrath from British charity, FoodCyclewww.foodcycle.org.uk She points out that 4 million of the UK's 62 million residents now live in 'food poverty' which she says: '…shouldn't co-exist in the same community as food waste'.
Good point Mary. It would be interesting to learn in which country Baptiste would most likely starve to death. Probably Germany, because according to EU statistics authority Eurostat Deutchsland is the EU's top recycler at 65% whilst Britain achieves 43.9% and France recycles just 39%. Baptiste would be far better off in Romania which recycles just 1% of it's waste. But hang on – isn't that where all the horsemeat came from?
Extreme Couponing: "Market Matters" – July 2014
Forget Dale Winton and Supermarket Sweep – the sport of 'Extreme Couponing' is joining Aldi-Stalking as the latest craze amongst cash-strapped Shoppers.
According to UK service provider Valassis, more than £1.7 billion of short-term offers were redeemed by retailers last year – either coupons which reduce the price of a particular product or vouchers which reduce the total shopping bill. By Valassis' estimate the turnover in coupons and vouchers was up 35% on the previous year – better growth than online sales at a mere 20%.
This news came hot on the heels of the money-saving website www.promotionalcodes.org naming Natalie Cooper, 24 of Louth, Lincolnshire as Online Bargain Hunter of the Year for her 'prolific use of discount codes and deals'. Natalie claims to save £150/month on shopping bills by using coupons and discount codes. Whilst the UK does not (yet, thankfully) have an Extreme Couponing TV show as seen in the USA, it does have a Facebook group created by Jordon Cox, a 16-year-old Essex schoolboy. This has some 52,000 'likes' from users who swop details of the latest offers and how to use them. Jordon became famous in 2013 for using discount vouchers to buy £600's worth of goods for 4p.
Ms Cooper spends her time looking online for discount codes, supermarket loyalty scheme vouchers and writing 20 letters a month to supermarket PR departments. Over half then send her coupons, vouchers or product samples in return because "rather than just write and ask for coupons I offer recipes, or take a picture of myself with the product".
Natalie also offers other useful tips, such as using Savoo.co.uk,HotUkDeals.co.uk and Vouchercodes.co.uk to look for discount codes. Finally she advises: "Avoid busy times at the checkout – and be polite. If there's someone behind you, suggest they go in front if you have lots of coupons". This greatly reduces the risk of violent assault by other shoppers.
Whilst supermarket price-matching wars have fuelled the popularity of coupons and vouchers, do such offers ever go wrong? Well yes, quite often, according to Charles D'Oyly, the MD of Valassis. "Mistakes can happen easily," he says. "Issuers can put the wrong value on a coupon, or print too many. You need to have the terms and conditions very clear and they must have an expiry date." Asda recently withdrew a £50 discount offer intended for single use after a rogue barcode allowed shoppers to use it repeatedly. The supermarket cancelled the voucher within hours and a spokesman confirmed: "A small number of savvy customers…got more money off than they should have".
This highlighted a particular problem for retailers: The speed by which Shoppers learn of an 'opportunity'. Online bargain-hunting forums like HotUKDeals and MoneySavingExpert quickly spread the word when a loophole appears. Last Autumn the members of HotUkDeals bulk-bought ice cream at 88% discount when smaller Tesco stores ran a 'two-for-£3' offer on ice cream at the same time as 'two-for-£3' on pizza and ice cream. Shoppers saved twice by combining both promotions.
Taking advantage like that is not illegal although it's not a recommended way to stock your stall. Dan Plant from MoneySavingExpert.com says: "Companies lay out exactly how an offer works in the small print. More often than not this is where the traps lie … but if you can use a voucher as described within the small print legalese, then you can fill your boots". Taking advantage of mistakes has turned into an enjoyable challenge for some Shoppers, but those who go a step further and tamper with a barcode or digitally reproduce a voucher for reprinting are likely to get hammered. Another problem is 'misredemption' – Shoppers who use out of date coupons or ones which don't apply to what's in their shopping basket. This 'voucher abuse' costs retailers a few hundred million quid a year but rarely ends in court unless a Shopper tries to make a living out of it. The test case was Nigel and Penny Ward of Cambridge who were found guilty in 2011 of fraudulently re-using Clubcard vouchers dozens of times to obtain £1,100 worth of 'free' groceries.
Obviously supermarkets monitor the voucher forums to counter the efforts of bargain hunters as well as determined fraudsters. They check the wording of coupons and vouchers for errors but the sheer volume of offers poses a real challenge, particularly when redemption is reliant on a harassed checkout girl on a part-time contract. Even more so when she's faced with Natalie at the front of a long queue with a shopping bag full of vouchers.
A recent caller to BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine revealed another 'how-to' way to save money – cheat a self-service till. The live interview was hugely entertaining and hovered between journalistic enthusiasm, admiration for a very streetwise kid and discouraging listeners from trying it themselves. Certain online forums describe the techniques but unfortunately these were unknown to City of London recruitment consultant, Nicholas Long, 25 who was rumbled whilst on the take at the Lombard Street EC3 branch of Sainsburys Local.
Nick used to play international hockey for the England under-19 squad, but after being hit on the head once too often began scanning all of his self-service purchases as 'loose onions'. The slight problem is that Sainsburys Lombard Street doesn't sell loose onions, so after repeating it some 20 times over 3 months even the minimum-wage security guard noticed the deception. Nick admitted 'fraud by false representation' and was sentenced to 180 hours of community service and £250 costs. This was a lot less painful than he'd have experienced had he tried it on at Leadenhall Market.

But we also need to encourage and empower our children with the knowledge that most kids don't bully, that bullying is not normative – that, in fact, kindness is. As Dr. Marc Brackett at Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence said Friday at […]

All kids deserve the safety & other benefits of social-emotional learning
By Anne Collier on October 18, 2013 in Bullying or Cyberbullying, Commentaries - Staff, Featured, NetFamilyNews

Wisdom about bullying from a former target
By Anne Collier on June 6, 2013 in NetFamilyNews
There's probably no better testimony to the power of social-emotional learning than this UK student's poem about what happens to the "bully" when victimizing someone else (don't miss this 1:25 min. video of Garrett reading his poem). Garrett was a student at New Line Learning Academy in Maidstone, Kent, UK, when he read this poem […]

Thanks for clearing things up, Kent.
Regarding copying and pasting public domain content, it's always about publishing the most helpful content on your blog. It doesn't always have to be original, just useful. Therefore, if you find a public domain content that offers relevant information to your readers, I don't think there's any reason not to copy and paste it on your blog. You are well within your rights to do this, so if you feel you're doing the right thing, then you should.
However, I did fail to mention that you should attribute your sources just to inform readers that the copy and pasted work came from a public domain work and to avoid confusion in authorship.
I hope I answered your concerns about my post correctly, Kent! :D
I don't see why not as long as you stay creative with how you use public domain. Again, think of the animated films from Walt Disney. The stories they use are in the public domain yet they manage to keep the narrative fresh and exciting by retelling it from their perspective.
Also, public domain shouldn't determine the USP of your business. As long as you offer something unique to your target audience, I don't think it matters if you use public domain for your content marketing strategy.
Thanks for the comment!

Jennifer Aniston Joins Peter Bogdanovich's Broadway-Themed Film
Jennifer Aniston has officially signed on for Peter Bogdanovich's Broadway-themed movie SHE'S FUNNY THAT WAY, alongside Owen Wilson, The Hollywood Reporter has announced.
Click here to read the original report.
Formerly known as SQUIRRELS TO NUTS, Bogdanovich and Louise Stratten penned the script that follows a married Broadway director (Wilson) who helps a former prostitute become an actress. Red Granite Pictures is financing the film.
Aniston is set to play a therapist whose mother is completing a stint in rehab for alcoholism. The former FRIENDS actress joins Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Cybil Shepherd, Eugene Levy, and Kathryn Hahn for the comedy.
Production on SHE'S FUNNY THAT WAY is set to kick off this June in New York City. As of now, no theatrical release date has been set by the studio.
The actress is best known for her role as Rachel Green on the beloved sitcom FRIENDS. Aniston has also appeared in such films as THE BREAK-UP, HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU, THE BOUNTY HUNTER, and HORRIBLE BOSSES.
Peter Bogdanovich began directing plays Off-Broadway and in New York summer theater at just 20. He wrote a series of three monographs on Orson Welles, Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock for the Museum of Modern Art and wrote a classic series of feature articles and profiles for Esquire, including a groundbreaking Humphrey Bogart tribute and definitive pieces on James Stewart, Jerry Lewis and John Ford.
In 1966, he began working in movies first as Roger Corman's assistant on The Wild Angels; within a year, Corman financed Bogdanovich's first film as director-writer-producer-actor with the cult classic Targets, starring Boris Karloff in his last great film role. In 1971, Bogdanovich commanded the attention of both critics and public with The Last Picture Show -- starring then-unknowns Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd, Ellen Burstyn and Cloris Leachman -- a look at small-town Texan-American life in the early 1950s. The film, which was recently designated a National Treasure by The Library of Congress, earned eight Academy Award nominations, including for Best Director and Best Screenplay.
