Lucky Starr series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lucky Starr is the hero of a series of books by Isaac Asimov, using the pen name "Paul French". Intended for juveniles, the books were written in the middle of the Cold War and the series shows traces of this, both in educational intent and in the nature of the social forces involved. The series was written at the start of the cold war, when many concerned scientists, engineers and educators in the United States felt that their country, and what they considered to be the free world, was falling behind the communist bloc in scientific research and engineering developments. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/David_Starr,_Space_Ranger   (592 words)

RINGO STARR biography and his life as a Beatle and drum playing ability Starr had emerged from the studio after a long day of work and commented to the others that it had been a "hard day's..." - before he finished his sentence, Starr noticed that it was now night time and added "night". Ringo Starr, born Richard Starkey, was the drummer in the Beatles from 1962 to 1970 and thus one of the most famous musicians of the '60s. Starr was also suffering from the excesses of his lifestyle, but by the late '80s he had cleaned up, and in 1989 he toured with his "All-Starr Band." In 1992, he signed to Private Music and released a new studio album, Time Takes Time. beatlesnumber9.com /ringo.html   (2813 words)

The Compo Company The Starr name was maintained, with its "Gennett" sub-credit deleted, and a new 10000 series using Plaza material and 23000 series using Compo material replaced the 9000 Starr-Gennett series, which dwindled to a halt in early 1925. The Starr name would continue into the late 1940s, long after the parent firm itself left the record business; it was apparently restricted primarily to Quebec, with French-language material appearing on an 11000 series and a 12000, later becoming 15000 series. In early 1931, the 81000 series was unaccountably dropped and a similar 91000 series phased in, with a 93000 series paralleling the 83000 series, used as a catch-all for Compo's own recordings and sides from miscellaneous U.S. sources; primarily the new Crown label (which was unrelated to the Canadian label of the same name). www.capsnews.org /barrcom.htm   (2939 words)

Sally Starr Starr is suing New Jersey 101.5 alleging she was slandered when a talk show host twice called her a "lesbian cowgirl". Starr said her personal appearance bookings have dropped off from as many as six per week to about two since the alleged remark aired, costing her an estimated $8,000 in earnings.

Comments Not just the Spacer/Robot novels which link the "Spacers" of his 1949 story "Mother Earth" with his most famous creations, the Law-abiding Robots, the pinnacle of which are the humaniform robots - robots that are essentially human, just made better. Peripheral to these he also has his Lucky Starr juvenile series, set in the Spacer Galaxy [perhaps], seen from an oppressed Earth's viewpoint. Also there is his time-travel tale The End of Eternity which involves an infinity of alternative futures manipulated by "Eternity", an organisation that controls History to keep humans safe, but denys us the Galactic Empire and loses the Galaxy to other intelligences as a result. crowlspace.blogdrive.com /comments?id=14   (324 words)

Bailey's Lucky Seven   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Bailey’s Lucky Seven was a group led by bandleader and music agent, Sam Lanin; no one named Bailey was ever a part of this group and sometimes there were more than seven members at a recording session, so the naming of the group is a mystery. Bailey’s Lucky Seven’s sales must have certainly satisfied the executives in Richmond, Indiana, as the group recorded over a hundred sides for Gennett in five years (from October 1921 until late 1926). Bailey’s Lucky Seven is often dismissed as nothing more than pop society dance band of the early 1920’s. www.allaboutjazz.com /php/article.php?id=1028   (1438 words)

Natalie Solent As for the Lucky Starr series, please keep in mind that it was written as a juvenile, which meant that it was written for younger readers, so it has that kind of thrilling breathless quality that one associates with '20s and '30s SF.

Article: Inferno, by Peter Jekel Isaac Asimov's Lucky Starr series also describes Venus as a watery world. The series has been described as the Venusian equivalent of Kim Stanley Robinson's classic Mars series. The interesting thing about Venusian volcanism is that it is not based on plate tectonics, as Earth's volcanism is. Plate tectonics is the idea that the crust of the Earth is divided into a series of rigid plates that float over a viscous underlayer in the mantle. www.strangehorizons.com /2002/20020617/inferno.shtml   (2618 words)

Bailey’s Lucky Seven The sales of Bailey’s Lucky Seven recordings must have certainly satisfied the executives in Richmond, Indiana, as the group recorded over a hundred sides for Gennett in five years (from October 1921 until late 1926). Yet the group is virtually forgotten or ignored in the annals of jazz history and not even dismissed as unimportant, possibly explainable because the group was never consistent in its personnel and trod a fine line between a pop dance band and a hot jazz band. Mole was a ground-breaking and trend-setting trombonist in the jazz world because of his ability to use the composition as a vehicle through which to interact with the other members of the ensemble. www.starrgennett.org /stories/profiles/baileys_lucky7.htm   (1091 words)
