Following their wonderful performance at the café in October last year, it's an absolute pleasure to be bringing This is the Kit back for another evening of banjo infused unpretentious folk beauty.

THIS IS THE KIT (Dreamboat/Sunday Best)

This is the Kit is the musical project of Kate Stables.

In 2006 Rob Da Bank's record label Sunday Best included This Is The Kit's track Two Wooden Spoons in their Folk Off compilation alongside artists including Animal Collective, Tunng and Vashti Bunyan. The band's inclusion in the compilation received high praise from Drowned in Sound who said "its personal touch is largely what makes This Is The Kit the British highlight, not to mention that of the compilation as a whole". Following that Sunday Best went on to release Two Wooden Spoons as a 7" single with the B side Come a Cropper in 2006.

Their most recent album, Wriggle Out The Restless was released by Dreamboat Records in 2010. The album was gestated over a long period and drew on This Is The Kit's many musical friends including Rozi Plain, Jim Barr (bass player from Portishead), Francois and the Atlas Mountains and The Liftmen. The album was produced by long-time collaborator and partner Jesse D Vernon.

"You thought you didn't like the banjo but you were wrong pal. Kate Stables rips forward with a hypnotic twang pattern and a voice of rare unaffected beauty.Accompanied by a backing-band of minimal psychedelia, This is the Kit will transport you to a warm bath in the middle of a forest." – Neil Smith – The liftmen

"Absolutely georgeous, like an aural bath with the warm winter lapping over you" – Cerys Matthew – BBC6 Music£8.00 – 42 tickets available

MTS Adds SSI Serial Digital Outputs to Temposonics(R) C-Series Embeddable Core Sensors


(PRWEB) May 01, 2012

MTS announces the addition of SSI (Serial Synchronous Interface) to its line of core embeddable magnetostrictive sensors intended for budget-sensitive OEM applications such as tools, desk top devices and consumer goods. SSI offers the advantages of a true digital non-contact continuous position measurement capability at prices that make digital magnetostrictive linear sensors attractive for use in more compact, space-sensitive, OEM product applications. C-Series embeddable core sensors require less space and have a lower budget impact than their larger industrial machinery counterparts because the sensor takes advantage of the host OEM products inherent environmental protection, eliminating housing costs. Whats more, embeddable core sensor elements are produced on fully automated equipment providing consistent, automotive level quality using automation efficiencies.

SSI is a proven communication technique for continuous measurement sensors and has been in the industrial sensors produced by MTS for over 10 years. It only requires a clocking pulse from the OEM controller to get each bit of a 24 bit position count word from the sensor at 400 killobaud up to 50 meters away. Each bit count represents one increment of the 100 micron or optional 50 micron resolution. The update rate is 1500 Hz in binary or optional gray code.

Optional accessory housings for liquid level and high pressure applications are also available.

SSI and analog embeddable core sensors are suitable for use in professional grade woodworking tools, metal forming and automotive tools, personal recreational vehicles, marine pleasure craft, portable medical care and treatment equipment, and other commercial and consumer equipment. Among the many applications that have successfully used MTS core embeddable magnetostrictive technology are steer-by-wire systems, agricultural implement robotics, automotive fluid change tools, two-wheel and four-wheel vehicle suspension tuning and ride enhancement, and medical care, diagnostic and treatment control.

For more information, please contact: MTS Systems Corp, Sensors Division, 3001 Sheldon Drive, Cary, NC 27513. Phone: (919) 677-0100. E-mail: sensorsinfo(at)mts(dot)com or visit their web site at http://www.mtssensors.com.

MTS Sensors, a division of MTS Systems Corp., is the global leader in the development and production of magnetostrictive linear-position and liquid-level sensors. The Sensors Division is continually developing new ways to apply magnetostrictive sensing technology to solve critical applications in a variety of markets around the world. With facilities in the U.S., Germany, Japan and China, MTS Sensors Division is an ISO 9001-2008 certified supplier committed to providing worldwide innovative sensing solutions.

Captains and Classic Chevy to Give Away Chevy Cruzes

Eastlake, Ohio (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

The Lake County Captains, class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, have partnered with Chevy Network, the Classic Auto Group and Classic Chevrolet as part of the team’s Tenth Anniversary Celebration this season and will give away one (1) twenty-four (24) month lease for a 2012 Chevy Cruze at the team’s home games on both June 3rd and July 1st.

Individuals 18 and over will receive a complimentary entry form upon entry to Classic Park during home games on June 1, June 2 and June 3 for the first Chevy Cruze giveaway on June 3. Fans will receive one entry form for each game they attend, meaning if a fan attends all three games, they will receive three entry forms that can be filled out to enter into the sweepstakes. Individuals over the age of 18 will receive an entry form to complete for themselves if any individuals in their group are under the age of 18 who attend the designated Captains games in person, so a family of four with two children under age 18 will receive four entry forms to be completed by one of the adults.

On June 3, all entry forms must be deposited by fans through the windows of the Chevy Cruze on display at Classic Park to be eligible to win. A lucky entry will be drawn at the conclusion of that day’s game. Fans must be in attendance at the June 3 game to submit their entry form for a chance to win.

The same promotion will be repeated during the Captains home games on June 29, June 30 and July 1, with the second Chevy Cruze twenty-four (24) month lease giveaway taking place at the conclusion of the Captains baseball game on July 1.

“We are proud to partner with the Classic Auto Group on this great promotion that is sure to be a highlight in the heart of our tenth anniversary season”, said Captains General Manager Brad Seymour. “This is certainly one of the largest giveaways the Captains have ever hosted at Classic Park and it should be a wonderful way to continue the excitement of our anniversary.”

The Lordstown, Ohio-manufactured Chevy Cruze was recently named the “Best Compact Car for the Money” by U.S. News & World Report, and has been one of the hottest selling vehicles since its debut. The Cruze also received the coveted 2012 “Top Safety Pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The vehicle has been praised for its great fuel economy, roomy cabin and upscale feel for the price.

The vehicle that will be given away on June 3 will be on display in the concourse of Classic Park beginning this Wednesday, May 9 and for the duration of the giveaway period. Giveaway is open to legal residents of the United States 18 and older. No purchase necessary to enter or win. Void where prohibited by law.

Law Firm Social Media Program Offered by Social Media Agency Maximize Social Media LLC


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

Social media management firm Maximize Social Media LLC announced its law firm social media program today, providing necessary support for the legal community interested in expanding its marketing into social media. The company currently serves over 40 industries and added the legal community to its verticals after a successful trail with a personal injury law firm.

Chris McLaughlin, CEO of Maximize Social Media LLC, has a unique perspective with law firm social media because he is also an attorney. McLaughlin is a graduate of Georgetown Universitys Law Center and member in good standing with the Florida Bar Association. All too often a law firms advertising doesnt truly connect with a potential customer. Social media allows a law firm to add a more human element to its advertising, said McLaughlin.

Maximize currently serves over 40 different industries including other professionals such as dentists, Lasik surgeons, insurance executives and car dealers. The firm added law firms to its verticals after successfully growing a personal injury law firms Facebook Timeline to over 8,000 fans, all of whom were within the geographic area serviced by the firm. Our client was very pleased with the results; not only did we grow their fan base but we were also successful in increasing the engagement on the Facebook page, McLaughlin noted.

Mike McLaughlin, President of Maximize Social Media, also has a background in law; he attended the New York University Law School. But his interest in marketing legal services came from his positions outside of the classroom: he was the Coordinating Producer of Judge Mills Lane, a nationally syndicated show, and the Legal Producer for former New York City Mayor Ed Koch and TMZs Harvey Levin on the re-launch of The Peoples Court.

My time at Judge Mills Lane and the Peoples Court opened by eyes to the fact that at its core a legal dispute is a human dispute and the stories that go along with it are fascinating, Mike McLaughlin noted. Social media is an extension of what Ive already been involved with but with greater feedback and interaction from the audience, he noted.

Maximize provides full design, layout, engagement and advertising for a law firms Facebook Timeline. The social media agency also provides full management services for Twitter, LinkedIN, YouTube, Pinterest, and Google+.

Law firms interested in obtaining more information with Maximize are invited to contact Maximize Social Media for a no obligation consultation.

About Maximize Social Media LLC

Maximize Social Media (http://www.maximizesocialmedia.com) is a leading provider of social media management services for clients in over 40 different verticals. With offices in Florida and Los Angeles, Maximize provides social media consulting and Facebook advertising management for clients in English speaking countries such as the US, Canada, and Australia.
