The Record Player Through Time

By Christine Lawson


Today we've got DVDs, CDs, MP3s, and the web for all our musical needs. However, none of these would be likely without the invention of the record player, one of the most significant components of technology of all time. It was so pioneering that following its invention in 1877, almost a hundred years passed before it was replaced by newer technologies. And still today, record players carry an oldtime musical feel that ensures they are still very well liked by music aficionados throughout the world. Today, anytime one thinks of a turntable, it is often the Technics or perhaps the Crosley Record Player. Yet more than 100 years ago, the name that mattered most was Thomas Edison.

Back in 1877, Edison developed what he called the phonograph. His initial records had been manufactured of tinfoil. These records had a spiral groove which went along the surface area. A hand-cranked machine with a pin, or stylus, was used to read the grooves vibrating based on the texture. This became ultimately referred to as the hill-and-dale technique. The vibrations would run up the stylus, along a metallic conduit, all the way to a large speaker. These speakers transformed the vibrations into much more audible sound.

At the time Thomas Edison finished his creation, he was more interested in its various scientific applications as opposed to its musical potential. This left further enhancements to other scientists.

Ten years later, Emile Berliner invented the disk record, and had it patented in 1896. Berliner's design and style took its origin from Edison's, but rather than using the hill-and-dale method, which had the grooves go up and down, his method, the varying lateral direction method, featured textures on the sides of the grooves. The varying later direction (VLD) caught on right away, and very soon Edison's hill-and-dale method was a thing of the past.

It wasn't long before mass production of disk records became possible when Berliner invented the matrix record. This master copy permitted duplicate records to be pressed forever. At this point, record players were still running off of the power of the hand crank. But when the late nineteenth century rolled around, so did electricity. Then soon after the electronic record player was announced. Unlike the hand-turned record players that can vary in speed according to the strength of the person, electrical record players supplied consistent speed. This meant that there was absolutely no variation in the tempo of the music that was played.

Gradually, record players became so well liked that whole households gathered around them to take pleasure in quality entertainment. Early methods of the prior-song and skip-song functions of today's Mp3 players were introduced around this time. In order to choose which song was to be played, a person placed the needle in one of the blank grooves in between the textured ones. For many years, the record player was a favorite possession of music fans everywhere.

With the advent of the seventies came cassette-tape decks and 8-track players, and soon, records and record players seemed to be phasing out. However, when DJs became all the rage in night clubs and discos, the turntable remained strong.

No matter what technology throws at us, fans of music will always appreciate the record player!

Australia's Outback: 7 Things You Need to Know

By Amanda Drummond


Have you heard that visiting the Outback is really hard?

Have you heard about snakes and spiders? Or that it's just too expensive?

Or none of those things?

Below, you'll find seven vital facts that you need to know before you commit to a holiday in the outback.

First, is it dangerous or scary?

O.K.I can understand your position, and yes, that may be a valid observation.

But take a look at it from this perspective, very few people actually die of thirst in the Outback.

Those that do die, do so because they have ignored the most basic facts about Outback travel, like stay with your car if it breaks down, carry at least 20 liters of water with you and tell someone reliable where you're going and when you expect to be back.

Spiders are common in Australia, but there's only one spider that's caused human fatalities: the Sydney Funnel Web. The good news is, Funnel Webs don't live in the Outback.

Whilst spiders are more common, there is only one spider that you need to worry about: the Sydney Funnel Web spider. And guess what? They DON'T live in the Outback!

Likewise, dingos are shy and very wary of humans. Adults don't get attacked by dingos in the Outback unless they are feeding dingos - which you're not supposed to do.

Dingoes are wild creatures and can attack (although this is rare in the Outback!).

It's Expensive

Flights to Australia can be expensive unless you're flying in from Asia, but there are plenty of ways to save money once you're here.

Prepare your own meals (with fabulous fresh Australian food) and don't stay in Five Star hotels. For a real outback experience , try camping or hire a campervan.

3. You'll Need at Least a Week

The Outback is HUGE! Set aside at least 5 days, even if you're just going to Ayers Rock and Alice Springs.

Fly to Alice Springs and Join an Ayers Rock Tour

Whatever you do, don't miss out on seeing Alice Springs! Alice Springs is full of things like the Desert Park, the Telegraph Station, the MacDonnell Ranges, and many more. Taking an Uluru tour from Alice Springs will allow you to see some of the many sights in the town and give you a real sense of what the outback is like.

Fifth, Don't carry too much luggage.

Take a tip from us: anything you need to buy can be bought in Alice Springs. And another tip: bring a pair of runners or cross trainers to walk around. You definitely don't need heavy hiking boots!

6. Visit in Summer

If you want to save money (and don't mind heat or flies), then you can save big bucks by visiting the Outback in the summer time. You can pick up some amazing hotel discounts if you visit between November and March (summertime in Australia).

7. Ditch the Cliches!

You won't find crocodile hunters or cowboys in the Outback. They're movie cliches! You will find some of the most spectacular natural scenery, real down to earth people, and a relaxed, friendly way of life that might just leave you wanting more!

The Ascension Of Hookah Pipes Through History

By Adriana Noton


Hookah pipes, otherwise known as a Nargile, Arghileh, and Shisha, are most commonly referred to as a wate rpipes. By definition, it is a single or multi-stemmed instrument with a glass base used for smoking tobacco. The smoke is cooled by water. Its origin can be traced back to India.

The very first water pipes were used to smoke opium and hashish and were made from a coconut shell. In the fifteenth century, an improvement came along when glass manufacturers started exporting glass to India. The coconut shell was replaced by wood with a glass base.

Working its way first through the Arab and Persian countries, the Argile landed in Turkey about 500 years ago. Smoking the Nargile is one of oldest traditions in Turkey. It brought great pleasure to both men and women alike. An overwhelming surge in popularity among intellectuals and the upper crust inspired a design change. The result is what we have today.

Hookah coffee shops were all the rage. A bar waiter at this type of shop was treated like a modern day chef because of the great skill used to prepare for smoking. Getting the packing and moisture right was a skill and it was considered rude to touch the coals. Today, these types of coffee shops are social places where people go to discuss politics and social events. In countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, hookah bars are a men only scene. Some Muslim countries believe that hookah is completely forbidden.

Popularity became so intense that etiquette rules were developed for usage. Here are just a few. It was considered rude to light a cigarette from the hookah coals and could possibly taint the flavor. Whenever passing the hose, fold the handle so the tip is pointing at you. Failing to do so, will be seen as a sign of disrespect and hostility. Do not bogart (keep to yourself) the hose when talking; pass it to another.

Water pipes of the past were only manufactured by hand. Each pipe is constructed of four basic pieces. Each piece is made by a craftsmen skilled in making only that piece. Those four pieces are the mouthpiece, the top of the Nargile, the tube, and the body that gets filled with water. Today, this can all be done in the blink of an eye on an assembly line.

If you are a novice to hookah pipes and are interested in buying your own, do a little research and gain some knowledge. Compare traditional and modern designs. Look for the origin where it was made, the material it was made out of, height, and hose options and price.

Traditional water pipes are handmade and distinguishable over modern due to the construction, styling and performance. They are usually made out of heavier metals and combination's of metals. Brass is used at critical points like hose ports and the check valve.

Modern water pipes are generally manufactured in China by US based companies and are cranked out in assembly line fashion. They are constructed with lighter weight materials and have no weld lines. They are commonly comprised of threaded screw together components which conveniently, unscrew as well to fit inside a carrying case.

Tips For Setting Up A Car Club

By Owen Jones


Are you thinking of organizing a car club? Or perhaps reorganizing one? Car clubs are a great method for enthusiasts of a particular marque or type of car to share their knowledge.

Most car clubs are based on ownership of a marque of car or even ownership of a particular model, but it could also be a club for owners of cars of a particular age.

Therefore, the first thing to do while setting up or reorganizing a car club is to ascertain who the club is for. The more strict you make the club, the less members you are likely to get, which could be a difficulty unless you live in a large city.

It is a great deal of effort to establish a good set of rules and a mission statement, so it is best if you can find some help, possibly by getting a couple of others to form a small committee.

Maybe the easiest method of finding a couple more enthusiasts would be to either put an advert in the paper or go down to the showroom of the make you are interested in and talk to the sales staff.

The committee can choose how what the club will focus on: for example sports cars, Mercedes, pre-1945 or whatever. Then choose how often the club will meet: monthly or quarterly or whatever and who is eligible to join: owners of these cars only or enthusiastic non-owners too.

Other items to decide would be whether there is a joining fee and / or annual membership fee; whether there will be a magazine or newsletter or / and a website. What sort of activities and dos will the club hold? Races? Rallies? An annual dinner-dance?

A bring and buy sale of spare parts and accessories is usually a well-liked event. Members can bring along superfluous parts and accessories related to the car that the club is targeted on. Where will you hold your meetings? In a church hall or in a spare room in a pub?

A website is a useful way of keeping in touch with club members, but a blog is even better for allowing members to interact with each other. Best of all would be a web site which only one person is permitted to update and a blog on the same domain name.

Each club member can be given a user name and password to the blog and then members can sign in and chat to each other in real time. This is not difficult to set up.

All you have to do is lease hosting space (less than $100 per annum) and buy a domain name (less than $10). Wordpress, a free blogging program, is usually available with the hosting.

Then you will need to either pay a designer to make a web site for you or get someone to do it for you. Many those under the age of 30 can design and set up a simple but effective web site.

The web site will become an important part of your recruitment drive and generally reduce your marketing costs as well.
