Buying a 1965 Seeburg Discotheque Jukebox
Andrew Olson
Reader Weekly
This past weekend I purchased a 1965 Seeburg Discotheque jukebox from a woman in the Twin Cities.
Over the past few years I have accumulated many new 45rpm records from various locations. My favorite is an amazing red, white, and blue pressing of Stephen Colbert's song, "Charlene" that he did with the Black Belles. Currently they are selling on Ebay for $200. I framed mine and won't touch or play it as that would destroy its value.
Jack White was promoting the record in
White also has a special "Vault" package through TMR that is $60 a quarter and often contains a tri-colored record and a 45rpm single. The 45s typically include jukebox strips, which previous to owning a jukebox, I didn't much care about.
I've purchased a few vault packages; it follows the Sub-Pop label and other distributors who have released colored records in the past. The problem I've had is that when you play a record you get your fingerprints on it and dust collects like a static cling. This made me begin to look casually at jukeboxes a few months ago to play the records.
My search began on Ebay (as most searches do) and while browsing I learned about the major brands of jukeboxes. There is the Wurlitzer brand, best known for their iconic 1015 bubbler box from 1946. However, because I write for free and can't afford that one I had to look at the other jukebox companies and their boxes that came out back then.
I searched an area on Ebay that stretched from
Then I looked on Craigslist and was amazed at what was
available right here in
After talking with the seller over the phone and internet for a week, I finally made it to the mall. However, the jukebox I was interested in was not there. When I contacted the seller he told me that a couple from "up on the range" had driven down on Christmas Eve and purchased it. I was scooped by a ranger, oh my!
There was another jukebox available with a price-tag around $2000, but it wasn't very pretty and the price made it far less appealing. So I left the Cities without my box and decided I would look around more.
On Craigslist up here I found the same Seeburg jukebox I was
initially interested in for sale out in
While looking at jukeboxes it was nice that I could go on Craigslist, find a jukebox, and then go on Youtube.com and watch it in action. The lights and sounds of the jukes sucked me in and finally a few weeks ago there were two on Craigslist down in the Twin Cities that looked very appealing.
The first was a Wurlitzer that you could see the records play for $900 and the other was a very strange 1965 jukebox from Seeburg called the Discotheque that had the records hidden. I started to research and found out that in the mid-1960s jukeboxes stopped showing the records and moved to a consul style. A few still had small windows where you could still see the record play, but by the end of the 1960s the records were hidden for all brands. Seeburgs were used in the show Happy Days and were known for having reliable mechanics.
The Wurlitzer was much more expensive than the Seeburg Discotheque and someone was planning on looking at it before I could get down there. My parents live down in the cities so I asked my dad if he could check out the Discotheque as it was about 15 minutes from his home.
Selling my father on the idea of me spending a lot of money on an old jukebox was difficult. He reluctantly agreed to check it out for me and report back on its condition. I then set up a time for him to see it and he went for me.
Later in the afternoon that he looked at it he called me and told me he offered the woman $375 and she accepted. Someone was coming later in the day to look at it and he knew that my wife preferred this one over others I had tried to convince her we should buy.
So I bought my first jukebox sight unseen. My next stop was to check it out on YouTube and see what this thing looked like in action.
The first video I watched was of a Seeburg Discotheque playing in the dark with all of the lights on. I was impressed by the artwork painted on the machine and the way that it lit up a room. The next video I watched was made by a fan of the jukebox who said that originally people back in the 1960s called it the "Disc-The-Que" as they had no idea what a discotheque was.
This weekend the jukebox is making its way to
To prepare for the box I went to the Electric Fetus downtown last weekend to pick up a 45rpm record that has been sitting for a few months in their used record section. Luckily it was still there for me to purchase. So I will be loading the box with one of my favorite local songs by The Little Black Books titled, "They're Never Wrong." Even better news is that the B-side is "Whiskey So Soft," another one of my LBB favorites.
I'm looking for more 7 inch records out there, but this should
be a fun little toy to own. I've heard from a few friends that there are other
jukebox owners up here so if you have any ideas or tips please feel free to
email me.

Unfortunately, one of the features which would have enhanced the Organizer even further is only available in the US, Canada and Japan – the order prints palette, which lets you simply drag and drop images to your chosen printing service. You can still order prints using a built-in wizard, which uploads your prints and then takes you to the Kodak-powered Adobe Photoshop Services webpage. But it's a bit more involved.
A less laborious new tool is the Magic Extractor. This gives you a quick way to extract an object from its background, if you don't have the patience or the steady hand for freehand marquee work. You use a simple pair of brushes to specify the foreground object and background, and the tool does the selection for you. You can then go in and fine tune things. This is advisable, as although results are pretty good for such an automatic process, you will need to tweak things with at least the edge smoother. For even more control, the Defringe Layer command lets you take a few pixels off round the edge of a cut-out when you paste it into a new image.
The Magic Extractor lets you select elements of your image by choosing the foreground and background roughly.
Related to the Magic Extractor is the Magic Selection tool, but this uses a slightly different system. Instead of choosing foreground and background, you select your chosen area by scribbling roughly over the areas of differing colour. We found it considerably more erratic and difficult to use than the Magic Extractor.
Elements 4 has a number of lesser additions, which are nonetheless welcome. The Adjust Color to Skin Tone effect automatically adjusts the overall colour in the photo to bring out skin tones – all you need to do is choose some skin with the eyedropper. The straighten tool lets you draw a line across an image to represent what is meant to be horizontal, and the image is rotated accordingly. This works particularly well if you have a building edge to use as reference.

Bank of Japan may keep monetary policy steady, counter yen criticism
By Leika Kihara
TOKYO (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan is expected to keep monetary policy steady on Thursday but may revise up its assessment of the economy and rebuff growing global concern that Tokyo is trying to deliberately weaken the yen.
Still, the central bank will likely signal its readiness to expand stimulus again if risks to its outlook heighten, keeping alive market expectations of bolder action after a new BOJ leadership takes over in April.
BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, who travels to Moscow this weekend for his last Group of 20 finance leaders' meeting, is expected to reinforce Tokyo's argument that its monetary expansion policies are aimed at pulling the country out of deflation, not at nudging down the yen.
The yen had slumped nearly 20 percent against the greenback since November, picking up speed as Japan's new government put relentless pressure on the BOJ to launch more aggressive policy easing. The swift tumble has sparked fears of competitive devalations which analysts warn could lead to a currency war.
The Group of Seven rich nations on Tuesday declared that fiscal and monetary policies would not be directed at devaluing currencies, a statement meant to soothe nerves that export-reliant Japan was directly aiming to guide the yen lower.
Japan said the statement gave it a green light to continue efforts to reflate its economy but a G7 official said it was aimed squarely at Tokyo, prompting the yen to surge.
"One option now excluded is for the BOJ to buy foreign bonds. That goes against the G7 statement," said Masaaki Kanno, chief Japan economist at JPMorgan Securities.
"Otherwise, I don't see too many restraints. The BOJ can repeat what it's been saying -- that its 2 percent inflation target is aimed at beating deflation and yen declines are only a consequence of its actions." Continued...

Online retailer MobileFun is now accepting orders for the handset, which is donning an entirely white exterior – rather than finding something halfway with the rear battery cover only dressed in the new color. However, it's worth noting that an exorbitant price is attached to this one – something that might scare away some people naturally. Specifically, its £492.95 ($805) pricing is indeed steep for something flaunting a new color scheme, but then again, you'll have the distinguished opportunity of showing off the handset to envious people.
For those curious about picking up the handset, just expect this one to start shipping on August 15th – but for US consumers considering on importing it, you might want to wait off until concrete news are released regarding the handset's availability in the US.

Garcia wins Briscoe Award as Philly Fighter Of The Year
By John DiSanto; Photo by Gary Purfield
WBA and WBC jr welterweight champion Danny Garcia was awarded the Briscoe Award as "2011 Philly Fighter of the Year" at the 5th Annual Briscoe Awards. The Briscoe Awards are inspired by middleweight contender Bennie Briscoe, who is considered one of the best to never win a world title. Briscoe (66-24-5-1, 53 KOs) fought professionally from 1962 to 1982 and contended for the middleweight championship three times. This year Briscoe Awards were also delegated for "Philly Fighter of the Year" and "KO of the Year" (by a Philly fighter). In addition to the annual awards, former world bantamweight champion and living legend Jeff Chandler was presented with a new WBA championship belt and honored with a museum exhibit dedicated to his career.

Roundtable on Post-Mubarak Egypt: Authoritarianism without Autocrats? (Part I: Sallam)
[This is the first of seven posts associated with a Jadaliyya electronic roundtable on the future of Egypt. Click here to access the full roundtable. Participants include: Issandr Al-Amrani, Zeinab Abul-Magd, Nathan J. Brown, Jason Brownlee, Daniel Brumberg, Mohamed El-Menshawy, and Samer Shehata.]
Almost six months have passed since former Vice President Omar Suleiman appeared on television to announce to the world that 30 years of Hosni Mubarak's rule have ended. As monumental and decisive as Mubarak's defeat was, it remains unclear (or perhaps unsettled) who exactly emerged victorious in this battle: The millions who rallied in public squares in Cairo and beyond demanding the downfall of a regime that failed its people on multiple counts, or the range of political, bureaucratic, and socioeconomic forces that saw in Mubarak's ouster an opportunity to preserve (whether collectively or separately) the core foundations of the political order over which Mubarak presided and that has long protected and advanced their narrow interests?
Jason Brownlee's recent piece in Jadaliyya "Egypt's Incomplete Revolution: The Challenge of Post-Mubarak Authoritarianism" cuts through the heart of this question by highlighting just how contested and difficult the battle against Egyptian authoritarianism has become ironically at a time when every political actor in the country—including its de facto military rulers—claims to speak on behalf of the revolution and its democratic aspirations. Brownlee tells us that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) is doing much more than just sponsoring a constitution writing process and election schedule that will reinforce the uneven political playing field that Egypt inherited from the Mubarak era—a point on which many observers of Egyptian politics (myself included) have focused. More importantly, he warns, the Council's policy of keeping Mubarak's core repressive apparatus—the ministry of interior and its affiliated security organizations—out of the reach of serious reform efforts, "ensures authoritarianism by default" and will likely limit the prospects for democratic change in post-Mubarak Egypt.
Taking Brownlee's sobering analysis as a springboard for discussion, I invited a roundtable of distinguished group of scholars and researchers who follow Egyptian politics closely to provide their own assessment of where Egypt is heading at the moment. I asked participants whether they see evidence that Egyptian authoritarianism is in fact reconstituting itself with the aid of the SCAF. I also asked them to reflect on the factors and processes that will likely shape the quality of accountability, transparency, participation, representation, and inclusiveness of post-2011 Egyptian politics.
Two broad points emerging from this roundtable are worth emphasizing.
First, while all respondents agree that SCAF's actions have been anything but supportive of democratic change in Egypt, some do not share Brownlee's pessimism and believe that Egyptians still have a fair shot at achieving the democratic goals of their revolution. Notwithstanding the seriousness of the challenges ahead, Nathan Brown sees a lot of promising changes in Egyptian politics, pointing to the vitality of political contention and participation, growing public demands for greater government accountability and transparency, as well as the "mini-revolutions" that are happening in the media, universities and unions. As easy as it is to conclude that Egypt is doomed, Issandr Al-Amrani writes, it still remains that battle for the country's future is unresolved and that the opportunity for achieving transformative change has never been better in the last half century. Echoing this same point, Mohamed El-Menshawy adds that even though military leaders have a strong interest in limiting the scope of reform, it is hard to imagine them succeeding in the face of powerful protests and wide public scrutiny campaigns. Irrespective of their anti-democratic inclinations, he concludes, SCAF's options may be too limited to succeed in containing popular demands for democracy.
Second, analyses seems to converge on the conclusion that the long-term battle for democracy in Egypt is unlikely to hinge entirely on elections, but will probably center on unaccountable sectors of political power inside the Egyptian state, most notably: the Ministry of Interior and its affiliates, military institutions, and bodies and agencies responsible for setting economic public policies and priorities. The battle to make these critical sectors more transparent, accountable and responsive to public demands could very well shape the major features of the post-Mubarak regime in Egypt. Concurring with Brownlee about the pressing need for overhauling the existing security apparatus, Samer Shehata offers a nuanced explanation of what needs to be done to turn the Ministry of Interior from an instrument of repression and control to a force for protecting and upholding the rule of law. Achieving these goals will not be easy and will require a great deal of political commitment, resources and time, as Daniel Brumberg reminds us. He indicates that previous experiences of security sector reform in transitional countries demonstrate the difficulty of completing such reforms during the early stages of a transition such as the one Egypt is currently facing. Brumberg also highlights the tough tradeoffs involved in trying to reestablish security and law-and-order in the short-run while simultaneously advancing efforts to purge and reform the security apparatus. The challenges do not stop at the security sector or even the military institutions that are currently controlling it. Zeinab Abul-Magd's contribution stresses that the economy and economic policy making remain largely untouched by this revolution, despite the enormity of the socioeconomic disparities that made many Egyptians rally in demand for Mubarak's downfall. She suggests that unless economic policymaking becomes more participatory and responsive to the demands of the revolution, specifically aspirations for greater distributive justice, efforts to reform electoral and security institutions will fail to bring about the change that Egyptians want and the new political order will be devoid of popular support and legitimacy.
In sum, it seems that the challenges ahead for Egyptian advocates of transformative change will remain formidable and strenuous—at least until the overwhelming power of the Square, yet again, proves us wrong.
NEXT: Issandr Al-Amrani offers an optimistic rejoinder to Brownlee…

The Flint Hills
The Flint Hills
The Flint Hills of Kansas and the Osage Hills of northern Oklahoma are the last substantial contiguous stand of tallgrass prairie in North America, and one of the world's most endangered ecosystems.
Tallgrass Preservation
This is about the last 4% of prairie remaining in North America. While most prairie has been turned into productive farmland, the rocky uplands made this part of the prairie difficult to plow. With the arrival of the Texas cattle drives in the 1860s, the Flint Hills became a principal grazing region. Since that time, the ranching heritage of this region has preserved the tallgrass in its natural state in many areas.
Natural Inspiration
The subtle beauty of the Flint Hills has been an inspiration to musicians, poets and artists for generations. It is a place where man and nature have been able to successfully coexist, and it provides many important lessons for us as we work to care for our planet.

Continuing San Onofre troubles could lead to rolling outages
Summer blackouts possible with nuke plant offline through August
PALM DESERT, Calif. - The damaged San Onofre nuclear power plant is likely to remain idle until at least the end of August as investigators probe excessive wear in tubing that carries radioactive water.
The plant's operator says rotating blackouts are a possibility if a heat wave hits while the twin-reactor plant is offline.
Southern California Edison and other utilities have been scrambling to find replacement power as a precaution, including restarting two retired natural gas-fired plants in Orange County.
Southern California Edison said in a statement the company plans by the end of July to submit a plan to federal regulators to restart the Unit 2 reactor.
The plan would require Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval and that a review could take weeks or longer.
Rolling blackouts in 2000 created concerns for people around the Coachella Valley who suffered without air conditioning in 100 degree heat.
It was also a concern for people who relied on electric-powered medical devices, also motorists who were left to fend for themselves when intersections lost signal lights.
The threat of rolling outages could also have ramifications for power customers who get cheaper electrical rates by allowing their service to be limited or cut during times of peak demand.

Finally found the solution. I went back into BIP to reconnect the traction module and clear out all the errors. Jason measured the height of my front and rear tires and there is almost a 1 inch difference with the rear 265/35's being the taller tires. He recommended that since he had some mounted 255/35 tires sitting there, let's try to see what difference it would make with tires all the same height. I am game for anything like this. Hooray!!! After 10 hard runs up to the red line, not once did the transmission light come on!! I am so relieved!! You guys in the earlier posts were right! I just did not go far enough in getting the tire heights the same. I have already scheduled two rear 255/35's for mounting this week.
Anybody interested in two Michelin 265/35x18's with about 2K miles on them?
Now on to the rest of the to do list.

text: DES MOINES, Iowa, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith Corporation (NYSE:MDP; www.meredith.com) confirmed today that it held discussions with Time Warner, Inc. (NYSE: TWX; www.timewarner.com) regarding a potential combination of Meredith's National Media Group with Time Inc.'s Lifestyle and Style & Entertainment brands. Earlier today, Time Warner announced that it is going to spin off its entire Time Inc. subsidiary into a separate publicly traded company. Meredith Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stephen M. Lacy said, "At Time Warner's initiation, we discussed combining our National Media Group with certain Time Inc. brands to create a new publicly traded company. There are natural synergies between our two portfolios; however, we respect Time Warner's decision and certainly remain open to continuing a dialogue on how our companies might work together on future opportunities." Lacy continued, "Going forward, Meredith will continue to enhance shareholder value through ongoing execution of our successful Total Shareholder Return strategy and building on our company's strong momentum. We are in an excellent financial position given the significant free cash flow our businesses generate and our low debt level. We will continue to focus on initiatives designed to maximize the value of our attractive national and local media and marketing services assets, including strategic acquisitions. " Key elements of Meredith's Total Shareholder Return strategy include: (1) A current annual dividend of $1.63 per share; (2) A $100 million share repurchase program, and (3) Ongoing strategic investments to scale the business and increase shareholder value over time. Since implementing its Total Shareholder Return strategy in October 2011, Meredith has increased its dividend 60 percent and repurchased 1.4 million shares, with $62 million remaining under the current authorization. Meredith's dividend yield has averaged approximately 5 percent over this time period, and its Total Shareholder Return since implementation is over 60 percent, including dividend reinvestment. Additionally, Meredith has been very active on the acquisition front. In 2012 alone, Meredith acquired Allrecipes.com, the world's leading digital media food brand; popular media brands EveryDay with Rachael Ray and FamilyFun; and the ShopNation e-commerce platform.

Clear your calendar. Take a day off work. Do whatever it takes to allow a few hours to sink into this terrific read, rife with intrigue, mayhem, betrayal, and great characters that spring from the page.
Yes, author Stuart Woods has done it again. In Mounting Fears, President Will Lee needs a little good luck. He doesn't find it when he appoints a hastily vetted candidate to replace the vice president, who has died in office. Meanwhile, The White House is also dealing with consequences from a nuclear explosion in Pakistan. Can this world be saved? Of course it can, in grand style, with a little help from the CIA and a wonderful Washington, D.C., cast of characters. ―Wanda McKinney

Reverse immigration
Park, Ji Yong (2010) Reverse immigration. YoungJin.com, Seoul, South Korea.
This book (256 pages, written in Korean) is a critical essay that reviews, questions, and criticises Korean and Eastern immigrants' thinking and behaviour styles in Australia from their cultural perspectives, and discuss and proposes a creative cultural dimension for their better life in a multicultural context. Multiculturalism is not supportive of Eastern cultures because of individualistic collection of cultures, while transculturalism facilitates nurture of their culture in a community-oriented way within multicultural circumstances. Korean and Eastern immigrants, sharing oriental cultural systems and values, should approach to the Australian multicultural context with transculturalism which allows creating new cultural values in collaboration with and by participation into local communities. ------------------------------------------------------------ Many Eastern immigrants live in their own ethnic communities without or less interacting with Australian (communities). The author defines this phenomenon as "reverse immigration". Reverse immigration refers to re-immigrating to their ethnic community in Australia or to their birth country despite they did not anticipate that this would happen to them before immigration to Australia. The author argues that Easterners' collectivistic culture often devalues individuality and vice versa. Cultural clash between West and East often forces the immigrants to choose reverse immigration because of their lack of understanding of Western culture and their cultural characteristics such as low individuality, high power distance, and high uncertainty avoidance. For example, a vague boundary between individualist and collectivist in a collectivistic context (within their ethnic group) often leads to maladjustment to local communities and enhancement of cultural conservatism. The author proposes that the cultural clash can be overcome by cross-cultural activities named "transculturalism". To Eastern immigrants, transculturalism can be achieved by acculturation of their two predominant cultures, the third-person perspective and generalised others. In a multicultural context, the former refers to the ability to share another person's feelings and emotions as if they were your own, and the latter does the ability to manage community and public expectations. When both cultural values are used for quality interactions between East and West, they allow Eastern immigrants to be more creative and critical and Australian to be more socially inclusive and culturally tolerant. With these discussions, the author discusses cultural differences throughout the book with four topics (chapters) and proposes transculturalism as a solution to the reverse immigration. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 1 criticises Koreans' attitudes and methods towards learning English that is less pragmatic and practical, but more likely to be a scholarly study. The author explains that Koreans' non-pragmatic towards learning English has been firmly built based on their traditional systems and values that Koreans view English as a discipline and an aim of academic achievements rather than a means of communication. Within their cultural context, English can be perceived as more than a language, but something like vastly superior to their language and culture. Their collectivistic culture regards English as an unreachable and heterogeneous one that may threaten their cultural identity, so that "scholarly studying" is only the way to achieve (not learn) it. This discourages the immigrants to engage and involve in daily dialogues by "using" English as a second language. The author further advises the readers to be aware of Eastern collectivistic culture in communication and interaction that sometimes completely reverses private and public topics in a Western context. This leads them to feel that they have no content to talk to natives. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 2 compares between Korea and Australia in terms of their educational systems and values, and proposes how Eastern overseas students can achieve critical and creative thinking within a Western educational setting. Interestingly, this chapter includes an explanation of why Eastern overseas students easily fail assessments including essay writing, oral presentations and discussions. One of the reasons the author explains is that Eastern students are not familiar to criticise others and think creatively, especially when they recognise that their words and ideas may harm the collectivistic harmony. Western educational systems focuses on enhancement of individuality such as self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-expression, while Eastern educational systems foster group-oriented values such as interpersonal relationship, and strong moral and spiritual values. Yet, the author argues that the collectivistic approach to criticism and creativity is often more critical and creative than Western individuals when they know what they are supposed to do for a group (or a community). Therefore, Eastern students need to think their cultural merits and demerits by using an individual perspective rather than generalised others' perspective. The latter often discourages individual participation in a community, and the generalised others in a Western culture is weaker than Eastern. Furthermore, Western educational systems do not educate students to transform (loose) their individuality to fit into a group or a community. Rather they cultivate individuality for community prosperity. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 3 introduces various cases of reverse immigration in workplaces that many immigrants return to their country or their ethnic community after many trials for acculturation. Reverse immigration is unexpected and not planned before immigration, so that its emotional embarrassment increases such severe social loneliness. Most Eastern immigrant workers have tried to adjust themselves in this new cultural environment at the early stages of immigration. However, their cultural features of collectivism, high power distance, high uncertainty avoidance, and long-term oriented cultures suppress individual initiative and eliminate the space for experiments in ways of acculturation. The author argues that returning to their ethnic community (physically and psychologically) leads to two significant problems: their distorted parenting and becoming more conservatives. The former leads the first generation of immigrants to pressure their children to pursue extrinsic or materialist values, such as financial success, fame and physical appearance, rather than on intrinsic values, while the latter refers to their isolated conservative characters because of their remoteness from the changes of their own country. The author also warns that their ethnic and religious groups actively strengthens immigrants' social loneliness and systematically discourages immigrants' interests and desire to be involving into local communities. The ethnic communities and leaders have not been interacting with Australian local communities and, as a result, are eager to conserve outdated cultural systems values. Even they have a tendency to weed out those people who wish to settle down within Australian local communities. They believe that those people can threaten their community's survival and continuity. ------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 4 titled multiculturalism argues that Korean and Eastern immigrants should more precisely understand Australia as a multicultural society in a way of collaboratively creating new cultural values. The author introduces multiculturalism with its definitions and history in Australia and argues the limitations of multiculturalism from an Easterner's perspective. With well known tragedies of the second generations of U.S. immigrants, Cho Seung-Hui, a university student, massacred 32 people on the Virginia Tech before committing suicide and Hidal Hassan, an Army psychiatrist, killed 13 people at Fort Hood and the responses of ethnic community, the author explains that their mental illness may be derived from their parents' (or ethnic group) culturally isolated attitude and socially static viewpoint of U.S. (Western system and values). The author insists that multiculturalism may restrict Eastern immigrants' engagement and involvement in local communities. Multiculturalism has been systematically and historically developed based on Western systems and cultural values. In other words, multiculturalism requires high self-confidence and self-esteem that Eastern immigrants less prioritise them. It has been generally known that Easterners put more weight on human relationship than Westerners, but the author claims that this is not true. Within an individualistic culture, Westerners are more interested in building person-to-person connections and relationships. While Easterners are more interested in how individuals can achieve a sense of belonging within a group and a community. Therefore, multiculturalism is an ideology which forces Eastern immigrants to discard their strong desire to be part of a group and does not give a sense of belonging. In a consequence, the author advises that Eastern immigrants should aim towards "transculturalism" which allows them to actively participate in and contribute to their multicultural community. Transculturalism does not ask Easterners to discard their cultural values, but enables them to be a collectivistic individualist (a community leader) who is capable of developing new cultural values in a more creative and productive way. Furthermore, transculturalism encourages Western Australians in a multicultural context to collaborate with ethnic minorities to build a better community.

Fans will be able to carry the following style and approximately sized bags into all athletic venues:
- Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and are approximately 12" x 6" x 12", or
- One-gallon clear plastic storage bag or similar, and/or
- Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap can be taken into athletic venues in addition to one of the clear plastic bag options.
- An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the Guest Services gates designated for this purpose.
Prohibited bags include: purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.
Prohibited items include: alcoholic beverages, selfie sticks, balloons, balls, bottles, cans, containers, coolers, fireworks, laser pointers, noise making devices, pets, smoking, sticks/poles, strollers, umbrellas, weapons and other items deemed dangerous and/or inappropriate.
Why did Rutgers Athletics adopt this policy?
The University's Division of Intercollegiate Athletics and University's Division of Administration & Public Safety meet regularly to evaluate existing policies, practices and procedures to determine their level of compliance with industry recognized best practices. This review resulted in a determination that a realignment of the policy was in order to continue to provide for the best fan experience.
This proactive measure both will enhance safety inside and outside of the athletic venues and speed the security screening process for all fans. The public deserves to be in a safe, secure environment. This is about both safety and improving the overall fan experience.
Was this step taken because of what happened at the Boston Marathon?
This policy is continually evaluated against the real world events and industry recognized best practices. It has evolved so that we can continue to adjust to the realities of public safety. We were discussing a new approach to bag restrictions prior to the Boston Marathon incident.
Are other venues adopting similar policies to limit or restrict bags?
Yes. National Football League (NFL) stadiums and NCAA stadiums have adopted a very similar policy in order to provide an additional level of safety for spectators and fans. In addition, many universities have a policy that prohibits bags of any size. These limitations on bag size and style are an enhancement for convenience and safety of our fans.
How does the new policy improve public safety?
Any prohibited bag at the gate will be highly visible and more quickly resolved. Prohibited bags will be turned away. Clear bags are easily and quickly searched and greatly reduce faulty bag searches. It also supports the Department of Homeland Security's "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign.
How does this make it more convenient for patrons?
This will enable us to move patrons through our gates much faster. Staff will be more efficient and effective in checking bags that are brought into athletic venues. There will be less time spent standing in lines at the gates and fans will have more time to get to their seats prior to the event. Shorter lines mean quicker entry and fewer hassles. Fans also will also enjoy an improved sense of safety.
How many bags can each person bring into athletic venues?
Each ticketed attendee (including children) is limited to one large clear bag - either a one-gallon clear plastic storage bag or the approximate 12" by 6" by 12" clear bag - plus a small clutch. The one-gallon clear storage bag is readily available, inexpensive and enables a quick and efficient entry procedure into the stadium. The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and also is easily searched.
Can fans carry cameras, binoculars, smart phones, tablets, seat cushions, seat backs separately from what they put in a clear bag?
Yes, all these items can be carried into the athletic venue, either on their own or in a clear plastic storage bag. This is not a restriction on items that fans have been able to bring into the athletic venue previously. It is only a restriction on the type of container used to carry the items.
Are umbrellas allowed to be carried into High Point Solutions Stadium?
Items such as umbrellas have been always prohibited from the stadium and therefore will continue to be prohibited under the revised procedures.
What about bringing blankets and extra jackets/clothing in cold weather?
Fans will be able to bring these items into the athletic venues by tossing them over a shoulder or arm. Items that are folded up will have to be opened up in order to gain entry into the athletic venue.
Are all purses prohibited?
No. Unlike some athletic venues, we are not banning all bags. Small clutch bags, with or without a handle or strap, are permitted along with either the approximate 12" by 6" by 12" clear tote bag or the one-gallon clear plastic storage bag.
Do I have to put everything I'm carrying into the permissible bags?
No. We are limiting only the type of bags carried into the venue, not items that you normally bring to a game. Therefore, you can carry in your pockets or jacket (keys, makeup, feminine products, comb, phone, wallet, credit cards, etc.) if you choose not to put them in a clear bag or clutch. And you can carry a blanket over your arms, and binoculars and/or camera around your neck or in your hands without the case. You can use the clear bag and clutch to carry other items. You will continue to have the flexibility to bring a wide variety of approved items into the venue. Every member of your family may carry in a permissible bag.
What about diaper bags?
For the safety and security of our fans we are requesting all items, including baby supplies to be carried in approved clear plastic bags. If there are medical necessities for an alternative bag, fans will be directed to guest services.
If I have special medical equipment I need to have with me at all times, where do I put that?
An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at the Guest Services gates designated for this purpose.
Will this policy affect the ability of fans to tailgate? Are there limitations on tailgating items?
No. Fans will be able to enjoy tailgating activities in the parking lots and do so with greater safety and knowledge that entry into the stadium will be smoother and faster.
Where are the Guest Services gates located at High Point Solutions Stadium?
The Guest Services gates are located at a designated North, West and South gate.

1908. A hundred years ago. Last time Cubbies won a world series. This shirt is in Century Gothic Bold, and 5-point lettering. I am assuming that a sports team cannot copyright a free font...
Re: I Blame Cho
Woot related shirts are not permitted.
Re: ...
Couldn't you just do this with a shirt marker and an undershirt?
Re: Be Honest With Yourself. Don't Blame the Dog
This shirt would look better on red! Seriously, black shirts don't do as well in the summer. It may be cooler where you live right now, but you need to think about the upcoming weeks.
Also, this is more than one sentence, which is against this week's rules. You should consider resubmiting this with a dash or a semi-colon between "yourself" and "don't".

Just because a disability is hidden doesn't make it OK to make fun of it. asking whether it's OK in a designer's forum is hardly going to get you a clear consensus as to whether it truly is OK. anyone who truly was affected by it could well be unwilling to say so in a forum such as that. If one were to wear this to work, you are pretty effectively setting your company and yourself up for a 'hostile work environment' lawsuit. like woot said in the first rejection, it's mean. it's ugly. I'd have said so if I'd seen it before.
Re: GTFO n00bs
THis is against one of woot's rules.
This shirt is pleasantly upbeat.
Am I missing an obscure cultural reference here? Or did you misspell the word stole?
Re: Doppler Blueshift
Yeah, the font doesn't go with this concept. It is very clever though. You'd get my vote with a better font choice. I don't think you should add anything representative, just stick with simple text. The problem is this text gives a feeling of old parchment or something, which doesn't make sense with a physics reference.
Re: Users Cause Bugs
Thanks for the comments everyone. As a programmer who deals with users on a regular basis, this shirt would be incredibly handy for myself, as well. I cannot tell you the number of "bug reports" that I have gotten that have had WAY more to do with the user not knowing how to use the program than the program having any issues whatsoever. And, quite frankly, if they would just use the program the way I would do, the "actual bugs" wouldn't ever crop up, so it is all their fault in any case.
Thanks for the votes and the fog. I hope it can hold out so we can all let users know it's their fault without having to say it.

Ah, well. I guess it's up to the duct tape (unless that one's been done too *crosses fingers*).
*shrugs* Actually, if you search for "salad is what food eats" at both cafepress and zazzle there are shirts listed. I'm not exactly sure where you looked.

There's two meanings here: We are faced with environmental consequences if we don't go "green" which could have a devastating or potentially fatal impact if things don't change.
Then there are also the treehugging extremists who seem to abhor humanity and resent not being born a plant.
Hopefully, this shirt strikes a nice humorous balance that is thought-provoking, yet not condemning
Kind of describes me

Jewelry Designer Renato Cipullo
Renato Amedeo Cipullo comes from a family of jewelry designers and manufactures. The distinguished name "Cipullo" has long ranked among the most respected and admired in the Fashion Jewelry Trade. Papa Giuseppe's advanced and unique concepts in jewelry manufacturing revolutionized the Italian industry in the early 1950's. His seven laboratories, based in the ancient gem capitals of Florence and Rome, served as training grounds for his five children, Aldo, Edoardo, Renato, Enrico, and the youngest sister Maria Rosaria, all born in Naples, peculiarly enough, in a street called Via degli Orefici, Jeweler's Street. The family eventually moved to Rome and got settled in the eternal city. Each of the children went on to achieve international acclaim in their own field. Edoardo, in Rome, is the founder of a very famous high quality custom jewelry company, "I'Officiel". Enrico and Maria Rosaria are in the same field, each with their own company.
ALDO CIPULLO is known for his Coty Awards and his acclaimed contributions to the American Gem Society, David Webb, Tiffany and Cartier. He won several prizes, among them the Cutty Sark Award, and the MFA Award. He introduced through Cartier his most famous copyright piece of jewelry: THE LOVE BRACELET.
Renato Cipullo continues his family's legacy of designing fine jewelry, watches and accessories at his New York office. Contact Renato now for more information about his fine jewelry offerings.

The tennis ball massage you've been missing out on
Not everyone can afford personal masseuse session or trainer to tend to all of their muscle aches and pains.
Enter the trusty (and cheap) tennis ball.
When you're short on money and time, there is an easy way to massage oneself with the benefit of being able to control where it happens and how much pressure is applied. You may have heard health professionals use varying terms for this self massage release technique, such as trigger point release or active release, but the scientific term is self-myofascial release. Myofascial release is when you apply a low load (gentle pressure) onto the muscles to help them slowly elongate and release tightness.
- Workout with Victoria at Happy Melon on Bodypass
Tennis balls are a great tool for the self treatment of "knots" in your muscles. By applying the right amount of pressure, the tennis ball releases muscle tension and reduces the risk of injury before and after a workout. You must always start gently, and never work into sharp pain or over acute injuries or inflammation. You can try alternating between rolling movements and sustained holds on a trigger point. Just listen to your body.
Seeking relief for sore muscles? Try these five easy tennis ball massage techniques.
Give the soles some love
Start standing and hold onto something for balance. Gently roll the whole foot, concentrating on the arch and the heel. Combine this release work with the calf and ankle, and stretch your feet if they are sore from running or standing in high heels. Tight muscles around the foot and calf area can lead to debilitating heel pain, achilles pain and calf pain.
Booty babe!
Gently roll the juicy part of the hip into the ball while standing against a wall. For a stronger release, do this lying down with the knees bent, and press your feet into the ground to control the weight on the ball. Allow the knees to gently fall out to the side for a deep gluteal muscle release. Try this exercise with two balls to double the fun.
- Workout with Victoria at Happy Melon on Bodypass
Those pesky hip flexors
Start standing and lean into a wall. Place the ball below the bony part of the front of the hip and gently allow your body weight to sink into the ball. Stay propped up on your elbows, and allow the ball to move in gentle circular movements, working slowly to the outer hip.
Spinal releases
With a single ball, stand up against a wall. Gently move the ball over any sore areas gently, but stay away from sharp pain and bony protuberances. If you have two balls, you can place both of them in a long sock, keeping a little space in between, and tie the end. Start lying on the ground, with the balls on either side of your spine, gently work from the lower back up to the upper back. When the balls are centred between the shoulder blades, try a few overhead arm raises. You may need to support your head on a pillow.
- Workout with Victoria at Happy Melon on Bodypass
Headaches and computer-related neck pain
You will need two tennis balls, either in a sock, or taped together. Lying down on the hard ground (not the bed), place each ball at the top of your neck, where the neck meets the skull. Gently lie here, and focus on breathing or try a short meditation.

I think what you've done up to now is right. Nothing wrong with the design, the font choice, the layout.
What I do think is that it would need some additional work. At the moment it looks very empty. I don't think this is a film poster yet. At the moment it's only a background image with the tagline on top.
So think about adding more detail, more information.
several things come to mind here:
1) it doesn't look like the shape of work in very small formats. Logos always have to be scalable to very large and very small.
2) same goes for the typography. It looks like the tagline would be unreadable in smaller formats
3) it also looks like the icon wouldn't come out very well in black and white. Locals must always work in black and white
Apart from that there may be a static issues. I think the shape of the icon is simply to common.
I think the main issue is that they need to be scalable.
If I remember well photo shop used to be 2500×2500@300dpi. You can find the official set of guidelines here:https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202501504-Logo-Templates-Submission-Requirements
What you say is totally correct, no disagreement there. In fact I think you're saying the same thing as me, just different words.
When I joined, three years ago, GR was clearly a "premium quality marketplace".
I've been trying to find the forum thread from about three years ago. It was an official post which stated how approval requirements had been raised considerably. No more low quality items were going to be accepted. Portfolios were going to be revised and authors were going to be asked to remove some of their low quality items. There was going to be a general cleanup to raise the level of the market as a whole.
Everybody was shaking in their boots. Every time you submitted a file, even top authors, were scared we may not meet the new high standards. There were much fewer approvals, and those that got approved were all fantastic files.
You may agree, or you may not agree, but it was an official policy and everybody was dead scared that none of their files would be accepted any more. There was a revolution in the forums of people complaining about their files being rejected. Everything was about premium, high quality, high class.
It was one of the things that attracted me to this marketplace because I kept being wowed by the quality of files approved every day.
At some point this changed. Personally I think for the worse. Others may think for the better. But there was definitely a clear turning point. This turning point was not announced like the first one when Graphic River turned to premium. It simply kind of happened quietly. I guess it doesn't make you look very good when you enforce rigourous high quality standards, and then all of a sudden you start accepting all sorts again.
In any case I miss it when this was a premium marketplace
Did it not have any company name or tagline?
You can't just upload an icon to the logo category. What's in the preview could at best be in the abstract vectors category.
Why don't you read again all the comments I made and try to apply these? All I see is the same icon with slightly darker colours. That still disregards 99% of all the comments I made…
What I see in the preview is not a logo.
Make sure you read this:https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/203269650-A-step-by-step-guide-to-the-upload-process
It was a fun challenge
I don't think it would be accepted – as you say, too simple.
Mainly it was an exercise of showing others how to get the basis right: positioning, sizes, hierachy, balance, typography.
If you get the basics right you get sth that will look like a logo, no matter how simple. That's the start. Then from there on start becoming creative and work on the details.
Basicailly walk first, then run
Good luck
thanks a lot for that, saves me from doing my own!

It's been a refreshing week of sanity around birth control. First the Institute of Medicine announced that birth control should count as "preventive care" and be covered by insurance at no cost. And now, in response to a Good Morning America segment on the "debate" about whether mothers should let their teen daughters access the Pill, Huffington Post readers are proving there's not really much to debate. Over 80 percent of respondents believe teenagers should have birth control access.

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
Homeowners threatened with losing their home through a bank foreclosure may benefit from the services of a real estate foreclosure attorney. When you buy a home, you usually get a bank loan and agree to repay it with monthly payments. If you fail to make the payments, the bank can start a foreclosure action, which enables them to sell your home to pay off the loan. Foreclosure laws are very detailed and strict about the process the bank must follow. A foreclosure attorney can explain your options to avoid a foreclosure sale, and help you to decide the best course of action for your situation.

Typing classes aren't to teach you what a keyboard looks like. It teaches you correct finger placement and direction and how to form business letters and such. It looks professional and your writing, letters, emails, or anything of important writing has a better chance of being taken seriously if its properly written, so I don't see it as unnecessary. It's useful.
I just tasted my honey mead wine that I made a couple months ago. It's pretty fantastic. I'm going to make a treat of having a whole mug of it Saturday night.
today i had the best performance review i have ever had at any job in my entire 30 years of working!
yes, that's a great thing - but isn't it sad that it took 30 years to get it?
and one of the things that they appreciate the most about me is my "flexibility" - the flexibility that allows me to put in 10 hour days when necessary, like yesterday.
i guess it's a good thing that i don't have a life????
my hands slide up from your chest

IronRuby: The Right Language for the Right Job
Download this episode
IronRuby is a new dynamically-typed language for Microsoft .NET that offers more runtime flexibility at the expense of compile-time verification. Find out why this is a good thing in the right situations: static compile-time verification for components that need additional rigor, and dynamic typing for more fluid parts of a program. See how to use dynamic typing to create internal Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) and how to use them for systems that you create.

Bangladesh based Warid Telecom has announced plans to invest around US$250 million over the next twelve months to expand its network coverage. The company, which only launched its service a year ago is already the country's fourth largest operator by subscriber numbers.
"We haven't reached the optimum level in terms of subscriber acquisition," said Warid's CEO, Muneer Farooqui, adding, "Our strategy is to go ahead with best quality network. So, we have no intention to have a huge number of subscribers if we fail to provide them best services only."
Farooqui also called on the government to lower the BDT800 (US$11.80) tax on each SIM card sold - which was only introduced in 2004 - as it was slowing the expansion of mobile services into rural areas. "This tax is tremendously affecting our business," he said.
The operator launched its network with coverage in 28 districts, which has now been expanded to include 61 districts - out of 64 for the country as a whole.
The country already has six operators - and according to figures from the Mobile World, ended last year with just under 34.4 million mobile subscribers - which is still a population penetration level of just 22.6%. Also worth noting is that while the country has six operators, only four of them are of any significant scale, Grameenphone (15m), Banglalink (6m) and Aktel (7m) and finally, Warid Telecom (2.1m). The two remaining long term incumbents, Citycell and Teletalk barely add up to 2 million customers between them.
The country is currently under military controlled emergency law, and it is expected that democratic elections may be held later this year. Brig General (Retd) MA Malek who head the Ministry of Telecommunications is a military appointment.
Vodafone has also been reported to be seeking an investment opportunity in the country - generally thought to be through a buyout of the 30% shareholder in Aktel, textiles group AK Khan for around US$300 million.
