In Europe, America's Grip on Pop Culture Is Fading
By WILLIAM E. SCHMIDT,
Published: March 28, 1993
BONN— When he was younger, said Peter Schild, a 25-year-old university student here, he and his friends would often buy things just because they were American, from athletic shoes and music cassettes to movie tickets and blue jeans. As far as he was concerned, America's icons and heroes were Europe's too, part of a common cultural matrix reinforced by imports of American television shows and the latest Hollywood movies.
Now, like many his age, Mr. Schild says he is looking increasingly to the countries around him, rather than to the United States, for his cultural signals. "I like America still, but now I want to know I am more interested in Europe, including European music and films," Mr. Schild said. "Perhaps I've just seen too much of American culture that I take it for granted, but it's Europe that seems new and exciting to me now."
All across Western Europe, in interviews with young people and discussions with advertisers, broadcasters and sociologists, there is a growing sense that American's hegemony over pop culture is being challenged, for the first time in decades, by the emergence of a rival European consciousness among young people, reflected in a very separate sense of music and fashion and even style. Beyond Rock
Beyond rock, there is rave and now techno, dance music with a kind of electronic beat that is hot across the Continent but virtually unknown in America. The subversive energy of urban American rap has been absorbed by Europe but wholly reconstructed by local artists, including immigrant communities like the Senegalese in France, whose lyrics and rhythms reflect their own lives and concerns.
And while teen-agers across the Continent were familiar with R.E.M., the American band, the music that most young Europeans talk about -- depending on where they live -- more often involves groups like Germany's Fantastischen Vier, or Austria's Falco, or Britain's Right Said Fred.
EuroDisney is disparaged as an unwelcome foreign intrusion, and MTV Europe, the European version of the American music channel, broadcasts a continuous diet of fashion, music and news that few American teen-agers would recognize.
Youthful European labels like Pepe, a brand of jeans, are sought out as eagerly as Levis once were, as are European fashions by Kookai and Chipie. As a destination for the hip and fashionable, the United States seems to have lost some allure. According to one marketing survey, when young people were asked to name the place they would most like to visit someday, they were likely to say Barcelona or Berlin before New York or Los Angeles.
"I want to go to Venice and Rome and Florence, not L.A.," said Benedicte Peu du Vallon, a 16-year-old from Paris. "My parents loved America, and like a lot of American music, but my friends and I talk about Europe." Parallels Political Trends
The notion of a growing and vital pan-European identity among the young parallels broad political trends on the Continent. This year the 12 member nations of the European Community joined to create a single European market, dropping many barriers to the movement of goods, people and money within the Community.
Still, the effluvia of mainstream American popular culture -- from the baseball caps worn by French and British teen-agers to the popularity of broadcasts of everything from World Wrestling Federation matches to the television serial "Beverly Hills 90210" -- continue to have a powerful resonance in Europe.
In Paris, Sergio da Silva, the 25-year-old manager of Chevignon, a store that sells American-style clothing, argues that America's influence over popular culture on the Continent remains undiminished. "There is no European identity," Mr. da Silva said.
But among others, there is a sense that the strong American influence in clothing, music and fashion trends is waning, diluted by what Philippe Pauchard, a 23-year-old business student in France, described as "a desire to be European, even if it is only a desire."
The end of the cold war and the sometimes uncertain drift toward a continent in which there are no borders have loosed powerful currents of change across Europe, unsettling long-held political and cultural complacencies. For some young people this uncertainty has fueled rage directed at refugees and immigrants, whom they see as competitors for their own future.
In Germany this hatred has found a powerful voice in a kind of brutal hybrid of punk and heavy metal music that critics say aims to foment racial violence. Last month the police seized about 30,000 records, cassette tapes and compact disks on the grounds that they represented a danger to public safety.
But for many others, like Mr. Schild and his friends -- more educated and financially secure, perhaps -- it has also given shape to a different sense of the possibilities. Young, European and Proud
"It may be partly a class thing," said Pia Schlechtriemen, a 25-year-old friend. "The people who are the most open are the ones with money, the ones who travel." Last year, for example, more than 300,000 young Europeans wandered the Continent using Inter-Rail passes, which for the equivalent of about $370 allow a month's unlimited travel on European rail systems covering 26 countries.

"Not sure if it would be an OK hospital"
About: Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead) Queen Elizabeth Hospital (Gateshead) Gateshead NE9 6SX
Posted by Annodoremouse
I had never been to the QE Hospital at Gateshead but the alternative for my area for the procedure was miles away.
I was in for a surprise, I went to Endoscopy and found a well organised out patients department. I was kept informed of everything that was going on from start to finish.
Each member of staff introduced themselves and their role and a nurse was at hand the whole way through
As an RGN I was impressed
Response from Queen Elizabeth Hospital nearly 2 years ago
Many thanks for taking the time to share your positive comments about your experience at the hospital. We will pass on your comments to the department.

Top 10 Cars of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show
1. 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
You probably could have guess it from the start, but how could anything other than the Corvette Stingray top this show's list?
Apart from practically taking the show over before it started by packing a massive venue, this is the fastest base Corvette ever. Powered by an all-new 6.2-liter LT1 V8, the Stingray has 450 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. Not only that, but Chevrolet says the car has a better power-to-weight ratio than both the Audi R8 and Porsche 911.
Finally, a seven-speed manual transmission promises rev-matched downshifts while a premium interior could stand to finally offer Corvette owners seats that doesn't suck.

I had the honor and privilege to attend this years 22nd annual Creating Change conference in Dallas, Texas. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) succeeded, for the 22nd time, in putting on an amazing conference designed to help educate and network those who fight for lgbt equality across the nation.
While there were many panels, sessions and academies on a wide range of topics like race relations, gender identity, organizational building, lobbyist training and fundraising… My dance card was full of sessions on social media and network building. Go figure, lol.
GLAAD put on an all day event on the subject, The New Media Training Institute. It was split between two rooms… the beginner and the advanced. I noticed, as I thought it would be, most of the people attending were on the beginner side. Honestly, there were people in the advanced side that should have been over in the other room… Just sayin'… If you don't know how to create a Facebook fan page… You are NOT advanced. (I'll give a full review of the NMTI and the Social Media sessions later)
I sat next to my buddy Mila from Trans-Ponder. We talked about twitter, our blogs and dug up dirt on one of the presenters…(PS if you are there to give your advice on the benefits of incorporating a platform for something like… oh I don't know…. SMS texts… into your social media campaign… Please don't just hawk your system and talk bad about other solutions) As we were chatting and learning (?) I asked if she would be going to the Blogger Tweetup that Friday. By the look on her face you would have thought I had just pissed in her juice! "That's hosted by Bilerico… No! I can't stand him…"
I couldn't believe my big ears… "What? Why?"
With out going into the back and forth too much, it's like this:
Awhile back, a Contributor on the Bilerico Project did a series of articles focusing on each segment of the movement… but didn't do one on the Transgender community. When asked about it in the comments… The Contributor said some really awful and transphobic things. I mean really fraking awful. So bad and disgusting even I wont repeat them! This started a bloody and vicious battle between the Bilerico Project team and the Transgender community.
Throughout this exchange there were many serious death threats sent to the editors and contributors. Bil Browning, the founder of Bilerico, was singled out for attack. He received threats against his life and family. All the while people on both sides would throw hateful comments about the other… a never ending cycle of mistrust and hatred was forming.
What people out side of Bilerico seemed to forget is… Bilerico is a team blog and sometimes things get through that maybe shouldn't. One thing I learned during this, was that the original contributor of the feud was a long time transphobic. No one knew that at the time.
Anyways, I tried to convince Mila that Bil, a long time friend, was not Transphobic. That he reacted in a way that he thought was best for dialog. Yes he kept everything up… so that people could talk about it and learn that this type of hate is out there. Not to spread the transphobic message. But Bil has always been an ally to the Transgender community… He fought for an all inclusive human rights bill in Indiana. He was the lone voice for this bill, every one else wanted to drop gender identity protections for a "smoother" passage. Bil fought for the inclusive version and WON!
Mila still said no. I could understand… If I was in her shoes I wouldn't want to go to an event hosted by some one who I thought truly hated me. But I knew in my heart that Bil and Mila could resolve this.
Friday night came… I met up with Bil and a few other bloggers. After getting my $5 drink ticket for my half a can of soda (I am still pissed about that by the way) I saw Mila walk in to the room. She came with another Transgender community leader. Before long Mila and Bil were face to face…
They had a some what heated exchange… They shared how each of them was personally hurt by this and how it has built fear and mistrust on both sides. They talked about the things that each of them had done both the rights and the wrongs. How it could have been handled different and ways to move forward…. together. By the end of the talk, both could see eye to eye. They had respect for each other and had found a common ground to start a foundation on. They parted not with the exchanging of cards or a handshake… but with a hug.
So, what did I learn from 22nd Creating Change? That though we have found many ways to divide and separate our selves… That our enemies have driven wedges between us…. That we are all still hurting. When we are ready… all it will take to heal is honesty and a willingness to see and hear each other respectfully.
Much Love,

What Guys Said 19
I think you look fine... That suit may not be the best suit for your body, but I don't think you look white trash and I'm attracted to your body..
You could lose some weight (just like you could also gain weight.. you could do whatever you want) but do you need to lose weight? No, I don't think that you need to lose weight. Your body is fine as it is in my book. If you wanna lose weight, then lose weight.. if not, then don't.00|00|0
wot r u on bout lol
It's on the limit but I don't think guys would look away... don't forget to smile Kitty. On your profile pic on the donkey you look 3 times better just because of the smile!00|00|1
wot u mean on the limit
- Show AllShow Less
Wouldn't you be proud if you could do that?
nt if i luked lik a rake lol
I love that Bathing suit!!!
but uhm... hmmmm
i think you could pull it off, just be aware of your posture and how you sit
It looks like you are a celebrity on vacation in those photos lol!00|00|0
No problem!
i will probably see you at the checkout of the grocery store on the cover of one of those magazines lol!
No, you'll look hot in one.10|10|0
I like your body so you would look cute to me.00|00|0
no, i think it would be ok00|00|0
ok ty
You're borderline but you can definitely pull it off. Nice rack thick body.00|00|0
wot u mean borderline
Crop top girls look hot in it00|00|0
Wear whatever you want fuck what people say or think00|00|0
yah just a bit.. to be completely honest with you00|00|0
No, Your body is healthy and find there is no need to do anything else.00|00|0
No your body is fine :) I don't think you're too fat for a crop top. So wear it girl and feel proud00|00|0
What Girls Said 9
I tend to say avoid crop tops in general, particularly for curvier girls - You're built like me, wide hips and big boobs, but that means even when you lose weight, you always look a bit soft. It's not that you're flabby or fat, it's just the natural build.00|00|0
do u avoid bikinis to
No, I just spend a fucking miserably amount of time finding one that fits - lace-ups are my saviors, honestly. But, when it comes to day-to-day things, crop tops tend to sneak up and flash a heck of a lot more business than I had any intention of sharing, or they end up massive in the shoulder to fit in the chest.
you could pull it off! absolutely :-) just make sure the bottom piece is not too tigh around the stomach or hips to avoid any muffin-top type of thing happening.00|00|0
not at alllll. I mean there isn't even such a thing as 'too fat', basically. But a crop top would be way cute on u :)10|10|0
Don't see why not, looks fine to me10|10|0
You go girl. Nothing wrong with you.10|10|0
Ehh honestly probably yeah but you have like really narrow shoulders and skinny arms00|00|0
err thanks i think lol
you can wear whatever you want dear.10|10|0
Yes you're too fat00|00|0
No. Trust me, I've seen people who should not wear one. You'd be fine.10|10|0

Danzey Green windmill in need of new sails
Danzey Green windmill
at the
Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings
near Bromsgrove is in need of quite urgent repairs to its sails. The sails have lasted for 35 years, since the mill was rebuilt on the museum site in 1969, but will be removed by Chase Norton Construction Ltd next week to allow maintenance work to begin. Fund raising events are needed to pay for the work.
The sail removal
went ahead as planned this Tuesday. The museum is hoping that by next Spring, the sails will be turning again.

Painted magic lantern slides by H M J Underhill
Henry Michael John Underhill (1855-1920)
, an Oxford antiquarian and magic lantern slide painter, had interests which included entomology and microscopy, the anthropology of folk-tales and British archaeology.
After his death, his papers and slides were donated to various parts of Oxford University. The
painted slides of windmills
that he produced to accompany his 1907 lecture on windmills were amongst the bits of the collection that ended up at the the Institute of Archaeology.
Underhill also did a
photographic survey of Oxfordshire and Berkshire windmills
and those slides are not available online. This and other Underhill windmill material is variously to be found in the Oxford Bodleian Library, the Oxford Museum of the History of Science, and the Oxford University Department of the History of Art.

A top ten list of English windmills
In the Sunday Times of 10th October 2004, Jeremy Clarkson wrote an article entitled "Call that a list of best films?" discussing a recent magazine list of the top ten best British films - which to say the least disagreed with Jeremy's own top ten. Starting with his premise that "
Of course I know these surveys are supposed to prompt debate down at the pub. I know that listing the top 10 coolest windmills and the top 10 zaniest animals are all meant to be the start of an argument, not the end
", the article then goes on to list Jeremy's top 4 British films - with the remaining 6 left as an exercise for the reader - down the pub of course!
Rising to Jeremy's challenge, I've put together my own
list of the top ten English windmills
... likewise designed to prompt dicussion, and not to be a definitive list.

Halloween windmill connection in Detroit
A roundup of Detroit myths and legends
to celebrate Halloween this week, contains the following story:
The Devil's Grist Mill: More than 200 years ago, a brother and sister built a mill on Lake St. Clair at Grosse Pointe's Windmill Pointe. When the sister fell ill, her brother nursed her back to health. Rather than show gratitude, she suspected his motives. She vowed to "leave half of the mill to the devil" before she'd let him have it. When she died suddenly months later, lightning hit the mill splitting it in half. A horned creature was seen dancing in the ruins and one of the grist stones disappeared. Today, the Grosse Pointe War Memorial Gardens contains the remaining grist stone.
The story is illustrated with a picture of the millstone.

Golden, Illinois has grant to repair broken tailpole

Three industrial windmills Zaanse Schans
recent photo of Zaanse Schans
shows the row of 3 windmills on the river bank - De "Gekroonde Poelenburg" (a paltrok mill for sawing wood), "De Kat" for paint production, and "De Zoeker" which extracts oil from nuts. This photo, and another one concentrating on
De Kat
were taken in May 2004.
Searching on the TrekEarch site for
turns up a number of other good images, thankfully dominated by traditional windmills, not as so often happens by wind engines or wind turbines.

Fire - a past and current enemy
Historically many a windmill or watermill was destroyed by fire. Their wooden construction and the presence of potentially explosive dust from the milling operations was a major contributer, and the possibility of sparks if the grain ran out and the millstones touched added to the internal hazards. In addition, by their nature, windmills stood tall, in prominent locations, so lightning strikes were a possibility.
The Sept/Oct 2004 issue of
Renewable Energy World
brings the story right up to date with an article called "Wind and fire: Reducing the risk of fire damage in wind turbines". Once again the major problems are lightning strikes, coupled with the potential sparking or overheating that may occur finding a ready fuel in the necessary oil that lubricates the systems. It does point out that fire damage to wind turbines is comparatively rare, but given the height of the towers and presence of whiring blades once fire takes hold there is little chance of fighting it, often leading to total destruction of the turbine. Fire damage is reported to account for between 9% and 20% of wind power insurance claims.

Animated windmill theme for Pocket PC
Whilst I don't have an appropriate PDA to run this on, this
animated windmill theme for Pocket PCs
caught my eye (though quite why you would want a power draining animation running your battery down all the time is beyond me).
The image looks to be of a Caribbean windmill - note the waving palm trees in the foreground, and the telltale porch out the back to cover the sugar roller mill (the wind direction is pretty predictable in those parts!). However, the only workable mill I know of in the Caribbean is
Morgan Lewis, Barbados
, but its too open a view to be that - perhaps it's just a computer generated animation, rather than film of any one particular mill, but it does claim to be in the "reality series".
I've been directed at another working wind powered Caribbean sugar mill, that of
Bezard Windmill, Capesterre
, on the island of
Marie-Galante in Guadeloupe
. The island which is about 10 miles in diameter once had 600 windmills, of which 73 remain, including the one restored working example. That would appear to be the one featured in the animation. There is more information in French on the
mills of the island

Shirley windmill repairs to be funded by Croydon council
Croydon council have agreed to
fund the repair of Shirley windmill
which they own. The repairs needed include repainting, possible damp proofing and other work to improve the condition of the outer walls. In order to avoid delays due to bad weather which can add to the costs, the repairs are scheduled for next Spring.
This year was the
windmill's 150th anniversary

SpaceShipOne passing wind turbines
The announcement today of Richard Branson's
Virgin Galactic
which has signed up for the rights to produce passenger carrying space planes in the next few years caught my eye. The site included a small photo of SpaceShipOne with some wind turbines in the background.
With a little searching, I found the original full sized image on the Scaled Composites website:
SpaceShipOne being carried by White Knight
with a vast wind farm in the background
SpaceShipOne/White Knight combo with Starship chasing
giving an aerial view of the same turbines
SpaceShipOne in a glide
over a ridge of turbines
Actually these pictures seem to be part of a press kit that Scaled Composites released in 2003. The photos are thus available from a number of other sites, in a
cleaner image form
slightly larger
. The same image I noted was discussed in
November 2003
A photographer covering SpaceShipOne's first trip into space on June 21 2004 also took some
test shots of the Mojave wind turbines
, as did
this one
. The turbines also show up on the
Mojave Airport
coverage of the June launch.
The Virgin Galactic site has been updated, and no longer shows the image that gave rise to this note in the first place, so I've linked it in directly.

Molen Magazine databases of Belgium and French mills
I have linked to
Molen Magazine
before, but since it's all written in Dutch or Flemish its most frustrating seeing the information there, but not being able to understand it, so I've not revisited for a while. (There are occasional English "translations" provided for small sections, but these are obviously machine generated, and generally as impenetrable as the original language).
On a recent visit however, I notice that they have newly added "databases" of
mills in Belgium and France
. These databases are rather strange in that they are provided as numerous pages via a photo hosting service, which unfortunately means there is no apparent way to search the "database", but browsing brings with it its own pleasures. There are separate pages for post mills, complete tower mills, ruined or converted windmills, and watermills, within each of the regions covered.
Also of interest for browsing on the site are the
Old postcards

"Yes Scientology at this point is nothing but its own funeral. You might as well leave early and beat the traffic. " - Thrak
Wecome Bill,
We never met, but as a denizen of FCDC for a while, there were some stories that persisted around those parts for quite a while after your presence there (and we know, at least philosophically what causes things to persist.) One story had to do with dirks and product conferences, the other with a showing of the movie "Patton" to the FCDC crew. Apparently one of your execs was enamored with the 'Desert Fox' valence, and another exec claimed to just have been "an insurance salesman". Can you shed any light on the veracity of the above?
But what I really think would be of most value is "the candor" of which LRH could be capable of, to which you allude.
Again, it is wonderful that you found your voice here.

MY STORY FROM INSIDE SCIENTOLOGY: http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthrea...-Ups-and-Downs
"Scientology is essentially a spy and mind-control network set up to extract the most money it can from its members as well as to enforce the maximum amount of production out of each individual, at minimal or no cost to the organization. Its as simple as that." - John Peeler
The subject of scientology being brainwashing has been much discussed here.

Brainwashing is an important piece of the puzzle and your revelation here is all the more important in substanciating it.

Ex-Sea Org Helpline "...leaving the confines of Scientology is a process, not a single event."
I'd say most people I knew were true believers though I always thought the midget and his cronies were onto something else including hubbard. Yes it was about money in the 70's and 80's but it was also about delivering the tech to growing quantities of people. It's interesting to note that in 1980 that we put up several evals to lower the cost of the training and auditing and hubbard went bananas. Really. So, draw your own conclusions.
I believe the midget is what one would expect from an eight grader (mind you, an angry eight grader) as I believe that is all the education he got. I spent not a little time with him and i never saw him read anything but always had it read to him and this was true with writing as well. If anyone could find someone by the name of John Nelson, he would corroberate these facts.
The midget was and is ruthless and I would say that from what I have seen and heard the major thought he has when he gets up in the PM is what can I do for dave today. But he is quite serious about his personal survival and in the time that I spent with him he made no bones about it. That is enough. Best, Bill
I did ask a couple questions earlier, thanks. Maybe you didn't catch them. Maybe Mr Franks will answer them. I understand I'm not the only one here
@OSA: I am not auditing you... THIS is the session.
I agree, my enemy's enemy is not necessarily my friend. But I see discussion with my Indy friends (I don't get along with ALL Indies, by any stretch) more from a Hegel viewpoint: thesis - antithesis - synthesis. We don't directly discuss Scn. Those that have a wider education and more world contacts and experience don't seem to have a hard time discussing their beliefs in more general terms, without constant (mis)credit or parroting of Hubbard. Some of their views open possibilities for me, and vice-versa. I don't see them as true believers in the cult sense, nor as true followers of Marty, either.
Besides, as much as some might worry about the ex's views getting compromised, the same could be said about the Indies' views getting compromised by speaking to us. I would think Marty would be very worried about that if it was about control. Independent should mean exactly that! As long as it does to my Indy friends, more power to them in thinking and acting and living as freely and happily as possible.
TO BILL FRANKS: Helloooo.... Would you answer me, please?
He hasn't, apparently, spoken out on any forum since he left many, many years ago. Patience.
Tonight is an introduction, I hope. Every relationship takes time.
I'm not looking for him to become some sort of savior or for him to agree with me, I want to know what he knows, what he saw, his perspective. It fills in the holes and makes things make more sense. That's valuable.
I do see what you are saying and why you feel the way that you do.
"Scientology: The only game in the universe where the rapist is your ethics officer." - HelluvaHoax
"Yes Scientology at this point is nothing but its own funeral. You might as well leave early and beat the traffic. " - Thrak
As far as hubbard's candor, I believe that a lot of people such as messengers, etc could tell stories along these lines when the drugs wore off or it began to be late in the early morning. There were more than a few dispatches that I saw ripped up at a later date, but I don't think that is original. best, Bill Franks
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions.
I see. I had had the impression that there were cliques, and the CMO were out to destroy and re-create the other working units in an image more easily manipulated, under orders from Hubbard, or falsified orders created by the Miscavige-Broeker cabal.
Miscavige has something in common with George W. Bush! Isn't that something? (the reading of the reports to him)
John Nelson is a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Got you on your impression of Miscavige. I think we can all concur on that.
I disagree with you on your idea of salvaging the Scientology tech, if that is indeed what you mean to do. All that interests me is:
1. Getting those out who want out.
2. Making known the fact that Scientology as it is and has been run is a ruthless scam and should be avoided, if not (preferably) outright obliterated as an organisation.
At the same time, I should say I am of peaceable character and libertarian leanings, and believe that anyone should be able to believe what he wants, so long as no one is hurt in so doing.
Thanks again for your time.

Snarky Puppy
with special guest DJ Chris Gill
Two-time Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn-based Snarky Puppy make their Melbourne Recital Centre debut
'Get down to the new jazz sound from the underground and revel in a night of raw animal magic'. The Telegraph (U.K.)
Snarky Puppy has gone from the best kept secret to one of the most respected names in instrumental music. They seamlessly fuse a deep knowledge and respect for musical tradition with sonic and conceptual innovation in a way that reaches both the most critical and most carefree audience. Led by bassist/guitarist/composer/arranger Michael League, with every new project and every show, Snarky Puppy hopes to do something they've never done before. The convergence of musicians from white and black America have performed regularly with artists like Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, Kirk Franklin, Justin Timberlake, Roy Hargrove and Marcus Miller among others. With their latest album, Family Dinner, Volume 2, the eclectic, unclassifiable jazz-funk-global collective has set their sights higher than ever.
'We had a wish-list of artists we wanted to collaborate with, from a really wide array of styles,' says League. 'We tried to come up with different demographics, nationalities, even age groups. And then we wanted to write arrangements that the band would really shine on, but would also truly enhance the essence of each artist.' The result is a free-wheeling, wide-ranging collection, recorded live in New Orleans, featuring an astonishing list of musicians from around the world, including Susana Baca, Charlie Hunter, Salif Keita, Laura Mvula, David Crosby and an all-star group of Big Easy players including Ivan Neville and Terence Blanchard. Various combinations of the three-dozen members of Snarky Puppy (known as 'The Fam') act as the house band for an unprecedented journey through different sounds, genres and cultures.
The two-time Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn-based outfit is ready to bring the funk back to Melbourne after sold out performances in 2016 with a jazzed up rock concert of synth-driven grooves, 'horn-hollering soul hooks, floor-shaking beats and punchy improve'. The Guardian
Snarky Puppy will sign merchandise and CDs in the ground floor foyer after the concert.
Presented by Melbourne Recital Centre
Join us in the foyer from 6:30pm as our foyers are transformed into a thriving music hub with free pre-concert DJ's and drinks.
We are excited to announce that drinks can be brought into Elisabeth Murdoch Hall for this concert; however the bar will be closed during the performance. Grab a drink and enjoy the show!

The Craftsman LT1000 lawn tractor makes it easier to mow a large yard than using a traditional manual or motorized push mower. The tractor features a combustion engine that powers the drive train and the mower deck. The engine requires clean gasoline, clean air and a good battery to run properly. The engine is designed to last for many years but occasionally may not start or run properly. If the engine does not perform as expected, it may require some troubleshooting steps to determine the problem.
Things You'll Need
- Socket wrench
- Adjustable wrench
- Pliers
- Fresh gas
- Spark plug
- Battery
- Air filter cartridge
Check the gas tank to make sure the level is near the full line indicator. Add gas if necessary.
Check the attachment lever to make sure it is disengaged. Locate the attachment lever to the right of the steering wheel. Move the lever to the disengaged position if necessary.
Drain the gas tank if the gas is old. Place a drain pan near the fuel tank. Disconnect the fuel line with pliers and allow the fuel to flow into the drain pan. Reconnect the fuel line with pliers. Fill the gas tank with fresh gas. Dispose of the old gas according to local rules and regulations.
Replace the spark plug. Pull the spark plug wire off the spark plug using your fingers. Remove the spark plug with a socket wrench. Install the new spark plug and tighten securely with a socket wrench. Push the spark plug wire on the spark plug using your fingers.
Replace the battery. If the engine will not turn over, the battery may need to be replaced. Raise the seat and remove the black battery cable with an adjustable wrench. Remove the red battery cable. Lift the battery and remove it from the battery compartment. Install the new battery. Connect the red battery cable. Connect the black battery cable with an adjustable wrench.
Replace the air filter. Locate the air filter cover near the front of the engine. Pull up on the front of the air filter cover with your hand and rotate it toward the engine. Remove the air filter cartridge using your fingers. Install the new air filter. Close the air filter cover with your hand.
Tips & Warnings
- Allow the lawn tractor to cool down before performing this troubleshooting.

CO2 Fixation in Alfalfa and Birdsfoot Trefoil Root Nodules and Partitioning of 14C to the Plant1
- C. A. Maxwell,
- C. P. Vance,
- G. H. Heichel and
- S. Stade2
Nonphotosynthetic CO2 fixation by root nodules of legumes may provide carbon skeletons for assimilation of symbiotically fixed N2. However, the products formed by this process and their physiological significance in perennial legumes is poorly understood. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine if nonphotosynthetic CO2 fixation by root nodules contributes carbon for the assimilation of fixed N2 in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) and if assimilation products are partitioned to different plant organs. Effective alfalfa nodules excised from or attached to roots had apparent 14CO2 fixation rates of 50 to 80 μg CO2 kg-1 s-1 (dry weight) at 0.0012 to 0.0038 mole fraction CO2. Nodule CO2 fixation rates increased six- to seven-fold as ambient CO2 was raised from 0.0038 to 0.0663 mole fraction. These rates were double to triple those of comparably treated nodules of ineffective alfalfa and those of birdsfoot trefoil. Respiration rates of nodules (3 to 4 mg CO2 kg-1 s-1) were 10 to 100-fold higher than 14CO2 fixation rates of nodules. This finding suggests that attached nodules normally function at saturating CO2 levels and may fix up to 1600 μg CO2 kg-1 s-1 when concurrent 14C export to roots and shoots is accounted for. Pulse chase experiments with 14CO2 combined with nodule and xylem sap analysis demonstrated the initial products of root and nodule CO2 fixation were organic acids. However, the export of fixed 14C from effective nodules was primarily in the form of amino acids. In contrast, nodule and/or root fixed 14C in ineffectively nodulated alfalfa and denodulated effective alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil was transported primarily as organic acids. Aspartate, asparagine, alanine, glutamate, and glutamine were the most heavily labeled compounds in the amino acid fraction of both effective alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil nodules exposed to 14CO2. By contrast, asparate, asparagine, and glutamine were the predominantly labeled amino acids in xylem sap collected from nodulated effective roots exposed to 14CO2. The occurrence of nodule CO2 fixation in alfalfa and birdsfoot trefoil and the export of fixed carbon as asparagine and aspartate to roots and shoots is consistent with a role for CO2 fixation by nodules in providing carbon skeletons for assimilation and transport of symbiotically fixed N2.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Editorial Note: As promised, the Seventh Star Press blog is expanding! New contributors and content bringing you a look into the world of authors, publishing, and more will be gracing the blog in the future.
Today, we kick it off with a nice piece from Rodney Carlstrom, a reviewer with The Sci-Fi Guys Book Review, who gives us a look into what led him into becoming a reviewer, as well as some insight into his process of reviewing. This one should be interesting for both authors and publishers alike!
My Life as a Reviewer: A Love Affair
by Rodney Carlstrom
I'll be the first to admit that I love books, but I'll be the last to admit that I have a problem.
Since that fateful trip to my local library, where I managed to pick up my first 'big boy book' at the age of 12, – J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit – it's been a non-stop race to see how many books I can devour before I die. (Not that I plan on kicking the bucket anytime soon, mind you.) And within those nine years, I think I've done a damn good job of putting a dent in my ever-expanding list of Books-to-Read-Before-I-Die.
Some would call it an obsession. I tend to think of it as a love affair.
Fast forward four years: that first trip to the library has now turned into a weekly occasion, or whenever I can get there. If it meant walking, riding my bike, or catching rides from friends, I found a way to walk those isles of familiarity. For a kid of sixteen, hormones raging, testosterone pumping, that was the closest I ever thought I'd get to having a lover. And oddly enough, I was okay with that.
It was during my browsing of the new fiction shelf that I picked up two novels that would further change my life: Brian Keene's The Conqueror Worms and Gary A. Braunbeck's In Silent Graves (Stephen King's The Shining followed soon after). Although not my typical diet of Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Star Wars and Star Trek novels (I blame my father for instilling his love of science fiction in me), these two titles plucked at heartstrings I never knew existed. It was then that I decided I wanted to do the same thing they did for a living; I wanted to write my own stories,and get paid for doing it.
It was in the following years that I began to write. Two short stories later, and I had found my newest obsession, and my second love. And even though I hit a few hard spots along the way, (losing 80,000 words of outline for a fantasy trilogy thanks to a nasty virus) they didn't stop me. I got back up, brushed myself off and put my fingers to the keyboard once again.
So you see, it was only a matter of time before I realized that I could combine the two things that I loved most: writing (albeit not fiction, but a chance to exercise my thoughts and opinions) and reading. Add in a best friend, boredom to the nth degree, a bookcase of novels just waiting to be read, and all summer to read them, and thus The Sci-Fi Guys Book Review Blog was born.
Granted things change. Where at first there were two steady reviewers, now there's only one. Instead of individual podcasts for each book review, there's a single post. Since that initial post two years ago, I've changed as well. Instead of just focusing on reviewing the newest title, I'm dissecting every novel, chapter, page, paragraph and sentence I read.
And with every new review I write, I learn what works best within that novel. Whether it be the mechanics the author uses, the tone or feel the author evokes, the development of the characters, or the author's ability to allow me to escape long enough to block out the world around me, there's always something to have been learned by the last page.
One of the best pieces of writing advice ever given to me came from Horror author Brian Keene, who said that the only way to become a better writer was to read and write every day.
That's it.
It's that simple: Read and write. Every day.
Luckily enough at the time, I was already in a position where I was doing half of what he prescribed.
The other half came from wanting to be as good a storyteller as J.R.R. Tolkien. As imaginative as Stephen King. Or to have the ability to pluck the heartstrings of readers who had never known such a sensation existed, like Gary Braunbeck. Or to tell one hell of a good story like Brian Keene.
Though there are many things that happened before that piece of advice was imparted to me, the most important thing I ever did to open doors in the publishing world, and to hear Brian Keene reaffirm me that I was on the right track, was to start Sci-Fi Guys. It's been two years since I blogged the first post, and since then it has enabled me to get my foot in doors I could have never dreamed of before.
Including the words you're reading right now.
Even though I'm not yet published (I have several stories out floating around, waiting to be snagged), I consider it an honor to be allowed to share my thoughts, ideas and ramblings with readers of the Seventh Star Press Blog.
And to think it all started with a love affair...

My Life as a Reviewer: A Love Affair

Loving books (a little too much)? I don't see a problem, either. :)ReplyDelete
I don't think you can love books too much. It's a healthy obsession everyone should have.ReplyDelete
Running off to stalk you on twitter.
Nicely done, my friend!ReplyDelete
I agree, but love affair sounds better than obsession. I think for someone to have a love for something they have to have an appreciation where they're getting something in return, whereas to have an obsession is to have only have a fix. Granted, I need fixes every once in a while, but I appreciate fiction, literature and the art of writing for more than just that fix.ReplyDelete

A Pennsylvania judge ordered elections officials at a Philadelphia polling station to cover a President Obama mural painted on a wall behind voting booths, according to a Philadelphia CBS affiliate and various conservative-leaning news sites.
The mural depicts Obama holding a microphone and gazing contemplatively toward the ground. It contains an Obama quote and the words "hope" and "change," representing the president's 2008 campaign slogans.
Republicans discovered the mural at Ben Franklin Elementary school in Northeast Philadelphia. It appeared to violate state election law that prohibits soliciting votes at any polling place.

Congratulations to this years Men's JV Royals on winning the city championship.
The Royals, who lost only two games all season, both to Bishop Loughlin, were able to beat their Brooklyn rival in their title game and earn bragging rights as the best JV team in the city.
CK played without starting PG Tavin Pierre-Phillipe, their leading scorer and team captain, who suffered a knee injury in their semi-final victory over Monsignor Scanlan. Still, the Royals were able to gain revenge, playing flawlessly down the stretch in a close game to secure a 61-50 title victory.
The Royals finished the season with and overall record of 23-2. Their regular season league record was an impressive 13-2, they won the St. Raymond's Thanksgiving Tournament,

Congratulations to Jose Alvarado for earning 1st Team All-League in the CHSAA "AA" Division.
This is the third consecutive season that Alvarado has been named to one of the CHSAA's All-League teams. He earned the MVP last season, and was on the third team as a freshmen.
Congratulations also to Junior Guard Tyson Walker and Sophomore Center Kofi Cockburn. Both Walker and Cockburn were named to the All-League 3rd team.
Tonight Christ the King played Iona Prep in the first round of the playoffs. Iona Prep has beaten the Royals in their two previous matchups. Beating a team three times in a season is a tall order. Could the Royals foil the Gaels attempt at three in a row?
At tip off, the battle began for the Royals. Both teams seemed tight, going back and forth. Adonis Evangelista found his range early, scoring 6 points. Iona Prep had the lead after the 1st quarter with a score of 14-12.
The second quarter was more of the same -- both teams struggling to grab hold of the game. Somehow the Royals were able to take a halftime lead of 22-20. Despite a half burden with turnovers, and sloppy play.
The Royals had to feel optimistic about the 2nd Half. They didn't
The Lady Royal soccer team has won its 6th consecutive Brooklyn/Queens Division 1 title and its second New York City Title after beating Kennedy Catholic by a score of 2-1 at College Point Soccer Park on November 2nd.
The young team has shown resilience this season after an 0-3 start of the season and is currently on a 5 game winning streak after beating TMLA for the Brooklyn/Queens title and Kennedy Catholic for the city.

Exceeding 100-yards only once as a junior, the 5'10, 215-pound Adonis has accomplished the feat five times in seven games in his swan song….Included in this scrapbook of dynamic senior performances was his effort last Saturday night when he ran for 143 yards (second best single game total in his career) and two

Muhammad could have ignored the bad memories associated with Christ the King's first loss of the CHSFL season last week in a 26-13 St. John the Baptist victory.
Everything that could go wrong mentally and physically occurred on that rainy swept day last weekend in West Islip. Yet the miscues and mental mistakes were issues Christ the King fought to overcome and end the regular season on a high note.
Muhammad rushed for two touchdowns as the speed and physicality Christ the King displayed Saturday night helped the visitors earn a 41-7 victory over Fordham Prep in a CHSFL Class AA league game held at Fordham University's Coffey Field.

"Rude reception staff refused to book me in"
About: Whipps Cross University Hospital Whipps Cross University Hospital E11 1NR
Posted by Anonymous
I am absolutely disgusted with the reception in the A&E today 27/08/2015.
I went in because I've been having problems with my stomach and can't keep my food down for almost a week. I also told them I have inflamed skin and it's very itchy which I though could have been caused by the fact I've been unwell. That seemed to be all they heard as they told me straight away they won't be booking me in for skin rash. I said I have stomach problems and they said 'What problems?' I said I can't keep my food down they said 'You are not vomiting are you? No.' I said no but I've been going loo all the time. They said no they won't be booking me in and to go to my GP. Shouting in the front of people humiliating me when disregarding the fact that I need medical attention. I left the A&E in tears. People in the queue behind me were looking at me.
Absolutely appalling to call themselves a nurse. They are not worthy being even on reception let alone nursing. They send me packing after I told them I haven't eaten properly for a week and thought that was ok.
Disgusting attitude belittling people who are unwell.
Response from Whipps Cross University Hospital nearly 2 years ago
We are extremely sorry to read how you were treated when you came into our Emergency Department. We apologise for the way you were greeted by our reception staff and that they shouted at you. This is not acceptable behaviour.
We have feed your comments back to the team in the Emergency Department so that they are able to address the concerns you have raised.
Thank you for raising this with us.
Kind regards

I'm going as medusa. Is there anything else I should do to it?
I'm not wearing makeup. Don't judge me.
Just seeking some creative input.
What do you think of my wig so far?
I'm going as medusa. Is there anything else I should do to it?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 19
Bald cap to cover your hair would sell it then put the wig on top since Medusa didn't actually have any hair like we do. Then just the snakes would show which is how she would look, do that and we got a winner.21|10|0
You are a pretty girl, you don't need makeup maybe some lip gloss. What I don't get is what would you look like with makeup or what would be the difference. A good looking woman like you seems not to need anything. How could you improve on what you have?00|00|0
I was asking about the wig
Sorry the girl was so pretty did not see the wig. The wig serves it's purpose, it make the girl look wiggy.
Sick costume!21|10|0
Thank you xx
My photographic imagination said something like a small hat would give it a little more structure. It would look like "your hair" under the hat.
Perhaps something like an Arabian fez?
Well medusq is greek. the fez is morrocan

Are you talking about fez in that 70's show? If yes, it was actually FES. for Foreign Exchange Student
@JuicyBrain this is what I mean: the fez is a hat!
I'm not certain if it's only worn in Morocco but I know that it can more or less be linked to that country :-)

I think it looks great! Your hair underneath either needs to be hidden or incorporated into the snakes. I would braid it small sections, then wind them into circle patterns and pin them to your head before putting the snakes on. You really did a spectacular job :-)00|00|0

Just hide your hair and you should be good, maybe to complete it if you can find green contacts and if would be really cool, good luck :) Great great job though00|00|0
it's great on you 😇. Anyway, seeing you asking about this reminding me of a movie. That girl has a lot of snake on her head. No hair but snakes 😅
It's an old movie since I was young, befor O was born. Check it if you want.
Awesome! You should add some awesome eye contacts now and wear an awesome costume.00|00|0
