    <title>Oct 24, 2009: Poetry and the Planets at Salford Museum and Art Gallery</title>
    <description><![CDATA[How do we imagine the stars?<br /><br />
This hands-on session from the University, which is part of Manchester Science Festival, looks at the way that the universe has been imagined in paintings, poetry, and scientific equipment over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.<br /><br />
People attending this event will be invited to picture the night sky and create their own picture-in-words of the stars and planets.<br /><br />
They will have a chance to explore and discover the different methods that have been used over the years to represent the universe, such as: the orrery in the Museum&#39;s reception area, creating a human orrery with the students themselves, looking at paintings of the night sky and images from a modern telescope, celestial globes, old and new microscopes, poetry written about the stars.<br /><br />
These sessions will teach students about the solar system, but also ask them to think about the way that this is imagined, and how representations of the night sky have changed over time.<br />

    <title>Nov 17, 2009: exposures: new talent in moving image, film festival at Cornerhouse</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The &#39;exposures: new talent in moving image&#39; festival, organised in conjunction with the University of Salford, is calling for entries for the 2009 film festival which will take place in Manchester in November.<br /><br />
exposures is a collaborative film festival organised by Cornerhouse, University of Salford and AbbottVision and is in its 16th year. It is the only regular UK-wide festival for student films and moving image and is a crucial showcase for new talent and they need new entries for the 2009 event.<br /><br />
The deadline for this year&#39;s entries is 31 July 2009.<br /><br />
Last year Shameless creator, Paul Abbott, of AbbottVision, became exposures&#39; patron. Paul has been very involved in developing new ideas and in shaping the festival.<br /><br />
Russell T Davies, producer and writer of Doctor Who, and Danny Boyle, director of Slumdog Millionaire, as well as many other leading people in the film industry, have contributed to the festival over the years and continue to offer their support towards its aim to become the UK&#39;s premiere student film festival dedicated to nurturing, developing and promoting new talent.<br /><br />
Any students who have made a film whilst studying at a UK educational institution, can enter their film as long as it is under 30 minutes in length. There is no theme for the competition and it is open to animation, visual art films, documentaries, fiction &amp; drama or any other type of film students wish to make.<br />

    <title>Jul 18, 2009: Celtic Heritage Festival at Graeme Park</title>
    <description><![CDATA[When the sounds of bagpipes start wafting through the air you know it is time for Graeme Park’s 13th annual Celtic Heritage Festival featuring music, dance, vendors, food, and more. The 18th century residents of Graeme Park—the Keiths, Graemes, and Fergussons—all called Scotland home, and it is in their honor that we hold this annual fundraiser. <br /><br />
The entertainment includes the Hooligans performing rocking versions of Irish and Scottish music; Carl Peterson performing traditional tunes from Scotland, Ireland, and England; the Martin Family Band, who combine Irish fiddle tunes with step dance routines; Wireharp, whose performance features harp music, storytelling, and other traditional instruments; the Timoney Irish dancers performing step and clog dance routines; Bucks Caledonia and MacGregor pipe and drum bands; Now and Then; and the Wild Irish Roses. Our children’s area features games and crafts, a moon bounce, pocket lady, and The Kilted Juggler. A wide variety of vendors will be on hand with quality gifts and crafts, silver, jewelry, t-shirts, pottery, and other items. When you’ve shopped ‘til you’ve dropped, food and refreshments, from Frank Donovan’s traditional bridies and meat pies, to hoagies, water ice, hot dogs, and ice cream, will be available to refresh yourself for the next round of activity - perhaps a tour of the historic Keith House, or just relaxing in the shade and enjoying the entertainment again. <br /><br />
The Celtic Heritage Festival is being held on Saturday, July 18 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission is $12 for adults (18-64), $10 for seniors (65+), and $6 for youth (6-17), and $30 for families (two adults and accompanying children).<br /><br />
The event is being put on by the Friends of Graeme Park, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. The Governor Keith Society sponsor is the Days Inn, Horsham. Money raised by The Friends of Graeme Park at this and other events, supports the operations, educational programs, and preservation of Graeme Park, a National Historic Landmark.<br /><br />
Call 215-343-0965 for details. Directions are available on our website at www.ushistory.org/graeme.<br />

    <title>Jul 18, 2009: The Best of Hawaiian Music at the 2009 Aloha Falsetto Festival at Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The only gathering of Hawaiian falsetto (leo ki&#39;eki&#39;e) artists outside of Hawai&#39;i is coming to Los Angeles. Featuring performances by Hawaiian music Grammy winners and nominees all on one stage, plus hula, Hawaiian food, arts and crafts vendors, and more, this festival is truly one a kind. Honoring one of the world&#39;s great ethnomusical traditions, the first-ever &quot;Aloha Falsetto Festival&quot; on the US mainland July 2008 was truly an historic occasion and this year&#39;s program will not disappoint. Featuring some of the most respected names in Hawaiian music today, the festival features recipients of numerous awards including  Grammy Awards, Na Hoku Hano Hano (Hawaiian Grammy) Awards, Critic&#39;s Choice and People&#39;s Choice awards including Richard Ho&#39;opi&#39;i (Two-time Grammy Winner), Weldon Kekauoha (Most Promising Artist, Favorite Entertainer), Pomaika&#39;i Keawe (Heir to the legacy of Aunty Genoa Keawe). Hawaiian falsetto singing (leo ki`eki`e) is one of Hawai`i&#39;s greatest contributions to musical culture. The term &quot;leo ki&#39;eki&#39;e&quot; was coined for a special falsetto concert sponsored by The Hawaiian Music Foundation in 1973, which was hailed as a milestone in Hawaiian music. The origin of today&#39;s distinctive Hawaiian falsetto singing has been shrouded in mystery and conjecture with no single source responsible for its introduction and subsequent development but rather a combination of early Island chants (mele oli), Christian hymns, songs and yodeling of immigrant cowboys. These influences inspired Hawaiians to create their own unique musical expression which has become a tradition of its own.  (Source: Hawaiian Music and Musicians: An Illustrated History by George S. Kanahele, 1979.)<br /><br />
Tickets starting at $25, on sale now at www.AlohaFalsettoFest.com <br /><br />
$25 - 75.<br />

    <title>Jul 11, 2009: The Human Experience @ ACEfest at Tribeca Cinemas</title>
    <description><![CDATA[From Grassroots Films of Brooklyn, New York comes The Human Experience - the story of a band of brothers who travel the world in search of the answers to the burning questions: Who am I? Who is Man? Why do we search for meaning? Their journey brings them into the middle of the lives of the homeless on the streets of New York City, the orphans and disabled children of Peru, and the abandoned lepers in the forests of Ghana, Africa. What the young men discover changes them forever. Through one-on-one interviews and real life encounters, the brothers are awakened to the beauty of the human person and the resilience of the human spirit. “The breathtaking reality of a new, unrepeatable, unprecedented adventure of a human life.”<br /><br />
Grassroots Films is pleased to announce a screening of The Human Experience, as an official selection at ACEfest 2009. The film screens on Saturday, July 11th, at 1:00 PM. Tickets are $10 each. The screening will be followed by a Q&amp;A by the filmmakers.<br />

    <title>Nov 20, 2009: Mountain Mandarin Festival at Auburn Gold Country Fairground</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The Mountain Mandarin Festival is a November destination, held annually the week-end before Thanksgiving.   The Festival celebrates the harvest of  locally grown Owari Satsuma Mandarin oranges.  The Mandarin orange is truly a citrus experience!  This very unique Placer County harvest has recently made headlines with USDA supported information regarding the substantial health benefits associated with this delicious fruit.<br /><br />
For the pleasure of the attendees, there are three stages of live entertainment; hundreds of quality crafters; a cooking stage with demonstrations by professional Chef&#39;s; a very competitive recipe contest with substantial prizes; an area devoted to children&#39;s activities; and fifteen local citrus farmers selling their freshly harvested Mandarin oranges. This year there will be a new dynamic Kaleidoscope Exhibit.<br /><br />
The food offered at the Festival is carefully selected.   Each food vendor is required to have one item on the menu that includes Mandarin oranges.  Last year, a recipe for Mandarin orange gelato was developed especially for the Festival.  You&#39;ll find Mandarin orange flavored  pistachios and almonds; pulled pork and sausages; coffee, smoothies and adult beverages;  a variety of sauces, syrups, jams, jellies and marmalade; infused olive oil; and chocolate dipped Mandarin oranges!<br /><br />
The quality and innovation of the Mountain Mandarin Festival has received state-wide recognition.  Proceeds from the Festival fund three scholarships presented each year by the Newcastle Area Business Association.  Crowds have grown from 1,500 in 1993 to 40,000 in 2008.  Don&#39;t miss the opportunity to attend this major agriculture festival, devoted to providing something for all ages. <br /><br />

    <title>Aug  2, 2009: Wild Magnolias live @ Mt. Shasta Music Festival Summer Concert Series at The Mount Shasta Resort</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The super funky Wild Magnolias are a cherished jewel of New Orleans, Mardi Gras, and one of the largest festivals in the world - The New Orleans Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival (Jazz Fest). The Wild Magnolias recorded the single Handa Wanda in 1970, and nearly 40 years later, it remains a New Orleans favorite and perennial Mardi Gras Classic. The Mardi Gras Indians were black working-class groups - part secret and spiritual society, and part neighborhood social club. Fifteen tribes parade on Mardi Gras Day, chanting, singing, and beating percussion instruments. They are costumed in elaborate, handmade outfits that fancifully recall the dress of Native Americans, complete with feathers, ornate bead work, and enormous head dresses. The origins of this tradition - which has striking parallels in Trinidad - have yet to be conclusively documented. In recent years, some observers have theorized that New Orleans’ black community identified with Native Americans as fellow victims of oppression, and imitated them out of admiration. This dialog is apt to continue, at times sparking heated debate. What’s indisputable is that Mardi Gras Indian tradition is flourishing and influencing other genres of music as well. Progressive-country diva Emmylou Harris now performs Mardi Gras Indian material with her New Orleans-based rhythm section.<br />

    <title>Aug  9, 2009: Sila and the Afrofunk Experience live @ Mt. Shasta Music Festival Summer Concert Series at The Mount Shasta Resort</title>
    <description><![CDATA[High energy grooves characterize the musical stylization of Sila and The Afrofunk Experience. With lyrics in both English and Swahili, the band&#39;s sound is a funky fusion of African rhythm, funk, soukous, Afrobeat, and reggae, influenced by artists like James Brown, Prince, Otis Redding, and Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti. Sila and AfroFunk Experience&#39;s (AFE) debut CD &quot;The Funkiest Man in Africa&quot; was critically acclaimed, with Kenyan native Sila receiving Artist of the Year at the LA Music Awards. Like Afro-beat founder Fela Kuti, AFE is known for its extended rifts that drive audiences into ecstatic dancing. Hailed by many as &quot;the James Brown of Africa,&quot; Sila sings of the African experience: the problems he and many others face every day, in a language understood throughout the world. His lyrics and beats reflect the music, the language, the energy, and the spirit of growing up in Africa.<br />

    <title>Aug 30, 2009: Booker T Jones (of Booker T and the MGs) live at Mt. Shasta Music Festival Summer Concert Series at The Mount Shasta Resort</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Legendary rock and roll hall of famer and lifetime achievement Grammy award winner Booker T Jones was backing stars such as Otis Redding, Sam &amp; Dave and Eddie Floyd - in his teens. With his Memphis Group cohorts Steve Cropper, Donald &quot;Duck&quot; Dunn and Al Jackson, Jones laid out the blueprint for the fabled Stax sound and a string of hits such as Booker T &amp; the MGs&#39; classic “Green Onions.” Jones recorded with countless major artists from Bobby Darin to John Lee Hooker, and produced Bill Withers&#39; signature Ain&#39;t No Sunshine as well as Willie Nelson&#39;s multi-platinum selling blockbuster Stardust. Booker T &amp; the MGs served as house band for the famed Bob Dylan tribute at Madison Square Garden, which led to a sustained alliance with Neil Young, who is featured on Booker T Jones&#39; brand new CD.<br />
