Beat Scene is a UK-based magazine dedicated to the work, the history, and the cultural influences of the Beat Generation. This has
included artists, musicians, and filmmakers, as well its best known and more obscure writers and publishers. The content largely
consists of articles, memoirs, interviews and reviews.
Beat Scene was founded in 1988 by editor and publisher Kevin Ring in Coventry, England. His personal fascination for the Beat Generation,
in particular Jack Kerouac, was sparked in 1971, but he was frustrated that information about Beat writers and their books was hard to come
by in the UK at that time.
The first Beat Scene and subsequent four issues were thin A5 booklets. Initially, there were only 200 copies produced and hand assembled on
the kitchen table. As well as the principal Beat writers: Kerouac, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder, the magazine has featured
Lord Buckley, James Jones, Chet Baker, Richard Brautigan, Lew Welch, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Lenny Bruce, Ken Kesey, Jack Hirschman, Raymond Carver,
Robert Frank, Gregory Corso, Diane Di Prima, Jack Micheline, and Carolyn Cassady (who was the first of the magazine's interview subjects). The
poet and Kerouac biographer Tom Clark has contributed to the magazine but was also interviewed by Kevin Ring.

California Beat Era-CA Palm Educational Non-Profit: CA Palm, based in California, produces documentaries
on the avant-garde aspect of American culture, past and present. The focus is on the underground perspective that
certain individuals maintain in order to create away from the mainstream. This aesthetic had strongly influenced
our cultural life in the middle of the last century but in recent years there has been an increasing loss of integrity;
affecting the art, music, and literature produced today. In America, commercialism has taken over with an increasing
tendency to make everything, including art, into a product to sell. Making culture a business enterprise kills the pure
spirit so essential in making good art, music, or poetry. CA Palm strives to keep this spirit alive.
California Lawyers for the Arts is to establish a bridge between the arts and the legal communities so that: artists and art

responsive to the needs and interests of the arts community.

The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) serves one of the most active segments of American arts and culture:
the independent publishers of exceptional fiction, poetry, and prose. Literary magazines and presses accomplish
the backstage work of American literature: discovering new writers; supporting mid-career writers; publishing the
creative voices of communities underrepresented in the mainstream commercial culture; and preserving literature
for future readers by keeping books in print.
Independent literary publishing requires a unique balance of art and business. Organizational strength and good
business practices are as necessary to the survival of these publishers as their editorial work is to the vitality
of American letters.
As the service organization to these publishers, the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses guides literature
through the business of publishing.
CLMP believes that stronger organizations and operations result in their members' literature reaching a larger and
more diverse audience. CLMP's practical approach to this philosophy is two-tiered. Their services and resources
are designed to develop each member's publishing capacity through increased marketing and organizational skills,
while CLMP also serves as a nexus of communication, promoting shared learning across the entire field.
The field of literary publishing incorporates a wide diversity of presses and magazines: those with budgets of
less than $5,000 to those of more than $1 million; publishers working in large cities, rural areas, and every
place in between; and representing an astounding array of aesthetic and editorial missions.
The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses unifies the strengths of this diverse field by serving literary
publishers' common needs and goals while celebrating their independent voices.

of years of stories told by hundreds, thousands, perhaps even millions of tellers. The mind reels at their influence, omnipresence,
phosphorescence: like a star or a planet, they shine, ubiquitous and necessary as gravity, as air or ice. Lovers of fairy tales,
myth, fabulism, magical realism, or simply contemporary literature in general will delight in its pages.

Situated on 48-acres of forest and meadow facing Puget Sound, the retreat hosts women writers from all over the

handcrafted cottages, where they spend their days in solitude – writing, reading, taking walks in the woods on
the property, on nearby Double Bluff beach, or trails around the island. In the evenings, they gather in the
farmhouse kitchen to share a home-cooked gourmet meal, their work, their process, and their stories. The women
who come to Hedgebrook are writing in all genres, and are of all ages, ethnicities, backgrounds, and levels of
writing experience.

diverse poetry, short/shorts, and translations. They also support a community of writers by presenting readings and
workshops, and by awarding cash prizes to poets through two annual programs. They are a proud contributor to the
vitality of Illinois' literary community.
The Poetry Forum, Inc. was founded in 1976 as a poetry workshop, and RHINO was started as an outlet for the work
of members of The Poetry Forum. Since then, it has become a regionally and nationally recognized annual collection
of literature by new and established writers. RHINO occupies a niche somewhere between academia and the emerging
Chicago poetry scene – devoted to printing work that tells stories, provokes thought, and pushes the boundaries in
form and feeling – while connecting with an audience.
RNR music and poetry, every first Saturday, 7:00 PM. Butch-N-Nellie's Coffee Company, 1827 I Street, Sacramento, CA.
Roan Press's mission is to introduce readers to deserving, talented, and ambitious writers from the greater Sacramento, California
area and beyond. They produce high-quality books in any genre: poetry, fiction, essays, memoir. They currently publish one to two

ROCKPILE is a collaboration between David Meltzer — poet, musician, essayist, and more — and Michael Rothenberg of
Big Bridge Press. David and Michael will journey through eight cities in the U.S. to perform poetry and prose, composed
while on the road, with local musicians and artists in each city. ROCKPILE will serve to educate and preserve as well
as to create a history of collaboration. It will help to reinforce the tradition of the troubadour of all generations,
central to the cultural upheaval and identity politics that reawakened poets, artists, musicians, and songwriters in the
mid-1960s through the 1970s. The project will end with a final multimedia performance in San Francisco.

Roseville Arts! (formerly the Roseville Arts Center) is an active community resource. Established 40+ years ago to promote the arts
in its many formats, Roseville Arts supports local artists and brings artwork from around the world to the area. As a non-profit organization,
Roseville Arts is entirely funded by memberships, grants, sponsorships, fund raising events, and other donations.
With the dramatic growth in Placer County, the Roseville Arts Center's board of directors recognized that the center had to change
significantly to successfully continue its mission. Following the sale of its former facility, the Haman House, the center temporarily
moved its operations and exhibits to 405 Vernon Street. The Vernon Street facility, a former restaurant and bar turned office space,
was transformed into the functional 405 Gallery with the generous assistance and dedication of volunteers.
The 405 Gallery has been demolished to make way for a new City of Roseville parking structure. Roseville Arts now occupies the main floor
in a handsome new arts venue within the structure fronting Vernon Street.
The new Blue Line Gallery of over 5,000 square feet, showcases the works of regional as well as national artists and feature a
state-of-the-art gallery complete with flexible exhibition space suitable for small musical performances, lectures, demonstrations, and
poetry readings. A special children's gallery will provide a dedicated location for children's programs, exhibits, and workshops.
The Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission (SMAC), established in 1977, is a public agency devoted to
supporting, promoting, and advancing the arts in the region. Funded by the City and County, they provide
funding to local artists and arts groups; promote the arts through marketing, outreach and education
initiatives; provide resources to support and increase regional arts education activities; and serve as
a community partner and resource.
Since 1979, the Sacramento Poetry Center has been a major force for literary artists in Northern California. Though
primarily serving as the literary center for the greater Sacramento metropolitan area, SPC's publications are
recognized nationally for their quality and literary content and its annual writers' conference has featured some
of the most important poets of our time, including Pulitzer Prize winners Gary Snyder and Philip Levine, former U.S.
Poet Laureate Robert Hass, and other poetic luminaries such as Galway Kinnell, Robert Bly, Robert Creely, Diane DiPrima,
Carolyn Forche, Lucille Clifton, Anne Waldman, Jack Hirschman, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Dorianne Laux, Kim Addonizio,
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Michael McClure, Jose Montoya, Robert Creeley, Robert Peters, and many others.
Unique among literary centers in that it is not affiliated with a university, the Sacramento Poetry Center, while
maintaining close ties with the area's universities and colleges, affords associated artists the opportunity to explore
the medium unrestricted, empowering literary artists to improve their work and performance.

I was wondering the process of changing the brakes on the Cayenne's, and what is required. I have installed full brake kits on other cars in the past as well as brake pad changes. The dealer said my Porsche brake pads needed to be replaced soon, and want to charge me $900 to do it. I said f*** that I can do it myself. Is it true when replacing the pads, that every brake pad sensor wire needs to be changed? Also, my buddy told me it requires a special tool. Is this true? If so were can I order the tool from? Do I have to reset any thing in the menu of the car after the swap? I found the brakes, and sensors on advanced for a little over $200 for everything. I did use the search button, and could find anything. Thanks in advanced
Edited by jansengeorge on 16/02/2011 at 06:52
Its easy to change the brake sensor wire it just connects to the car with two wires and a connector. The connector is shaped so you can only put in one way , although a reversal would not make a difference as I think its just a metal contact switch for when the pads are worn.
$900 seems a lot just to change the pads, for that price I would wanty the discs changed as well.
It doesn't need a special toll unless your buddy is refering to a large hex key. I think its a 12mm one from memory. I actually brought one and it only cost a a few pounds.
Nothing to rest as far as I know.
Good luck
Genuine front and rear discs and pads cost £700 or cheaper better made copies can be had much much cheaper.
Best available rate 9.20%
Total repayment £9,304.93
Total cost of credit £1,804.93
60 monthly payments
Representative example
The Representative APR is 13.2% (fixed) so if you borrow £7,500 over 4 years at a rate of 13.2% p.a (fixed) you will repay £199.21 per month and repay £9562.20 in total.
