How To Clean A Trailer

LINE 2 SPOTLIGHT: The story of a concept ...

was told cosmopolitanism? It can fly, ignore it, hate it, sometimes we have only one wish, delete it. But what? It is tough. It clings. It symbolizes our urban society. He fights for recognition. It characterizes multiculturalism. Out of the ghetto is his motto, the fight healthy, its means of expression; L2M is his perfect incarnation. What eventually makes it endearing and adorable group of rappers who did not have cold feet and look across the society in which he saw in a dream to bring him other codes.

On the support of this first disc, they are four. In truth, "they" is a Pentateuch of boys in the wind, full of talent and ideas. "It's more a collective, it is a circle of friends who want to do something good in life ... ", Says the outset Trezor, lead vocal of the group. The tone is set, rarely, a sentence as short managed to say the same things with equal force. The art project that led to this musical adventure is basically the result of a human encounter that dates back about fifteen years. The real adventure for these young people began in 2000. Lifelong friends, two of them, having knocked in a multitude of projects in which they participate in the development of a few EPs, based Anonymous, their first group. After several years of survival, and because of the vagaries of life, the two men separated. But instead of being deterred, they eventually get together and decide to continue to achieve the ultimate goal of every music lover: make an album. The strength in unity, they are then used two other childhood friends: the Line of Fire collective is now on track ...


The unifying spirit ...
Line of Fire
is foremost, as we said earlier, a story of men and a materialization of cosmopolitanism. The symbol of this entity is none other than Jean-Jacques Kampala, the linchpin of the group. Born in Dakar, when he was four years old in 1981, he separated from his family because his younger sister and himself were adopted by a French couple.

Fantastic parents, according to the person; they will give their children education the French lambda: kindergarten, primary school, secondary school ... Like any other young anxious to find his way after the ferry, the "cosmopolitan" is found dumped. At right, because at this age, we are still in doubt. Without much conviction, he enrolled in college, more for the pleasure of his own for himself. However, very little belief he has always been nagging the minds "operate in the field of music" convinced that there is his way. Although he had no knowledge of the industry, he holds following his instincts and began various projects resulting in mixed fortunes. His quest and thirst for learning will be met when he joined a production company in which he will continue his apprenticeship. It identifies rapidly within this structure its request: audio visual production assistant ... From there, he had the opportunity to meet artists and gain his first experience with a group of French variety. But this experience, it will record that blends natures-cons in this period were fundamentally unproductive. For he who is more roots, it was quite difficult to manage a group with which he had no such aspirations. In this lesson, he will find his vocation: Manager ... To succeed, this will further emphasize the Cartesian approach academic "to hard". And, as in a fairy tale in Africa, he finally finds grace: "The Right Place for The Right Man ..."
A few kilometers from Bourges, in a training center manager for world music, he met Fred (the other leader of L2M, ed.) The feeling soon passes, each has something the other. Experience required, however they decide to take the time to find themselves quietly soak up the spirit of the group before embarking on anything.
suitable location, he was adopted by friends of 20 years which open the doors of the collective in the same way they do. He seized his chance and quickly finds its place, it's been two years since this adventure continues, but if it had not been revealed, one would think it is since inception. That's also L2M : "openness, perseverance, self-confidence." In short, it's like a family once you're there, a family where there is neither first nor last ...

The reflection of a team ... well done

Unity is strength and it shows in "Notes Blocks", the debut album L2M . Why this album did not he entitled "Brides of life"? Simply because this is not an autobiography, but rather a therapy group where we share the same experiences. Instead of isolating himself in an intimate project, they played the card of the opening and reported their log books or travel safely after a journey of life successfully. They have therefore chosen to share a sequence of ten years, that they have mastered. Why this first issue is that Volume I, because other pieces of life are completed next.


The reflection of this work is a case for schools of journalism, because that perfect reporters of their society, members of the collective transport us L2M far fantasies straight from the imagination. They directly reflect arcane environment that our eyes lay not only through discovering information which is too often wrong. With "Street ...", I hear their flagship title, the reality of modernism transpires beyond the anecdotal and through the pun accompanying addresses the problem of communicating: the echoes of the street , the best sources of information and training on the ground, another way of perceiving the street. These
conscious rap does not fall into the easy and fictitious claim solely commercial purposes, there are also the pedigree of the collective. His speeches and texts refuse to get caught up in an arbitrary separation of the company. To all those who want to try, I advise them to listen: "Keep your flowers ...", a reflection not only for rap in the middle, but all the circles enclosed, an invitation to denounce, to abandon all the hypocrisy and other blandishments, to stop taking people for fools, demagogues to abandon the attitudes that lead to violence. Observe and describe the society in the interests of objectivity, this is a noble aspiration which we invite L2M . Do not miss this opportunity!

Ainal Skin Tabs Painful

Youth and Alcohol: another planet ...


In this section we have become used to explore the world of adolescence. There is clearly a pivotal time in the life of the individual where there is structure. Alcohol? Everyone knows, including children! It occupies a privileged place in society, cuisine and French culture. On the eve of the holiday season, it is necessary to pay attention to a phenomenon that seems to affect more and more young people: alcohol abuse.

Planet Saturday night ...

One Saturday evening on the Seine, I'm alpagué by a gang of youths apparently intoxicated. We'll name them Ludovic, Marion, Sarah, Thomas and Jenny * - the oldest was barely seventeen years. Around them, a graveyard of bottles of all brands - empty, others full and started ... They still want me to go buy them because they do not have that right. I'm curious to know where do they need to put your head upside down so early? Marion tells us la porte de cet alcoolisme du samedi soir : « prendre une cuite est un moyen de s'éclater avec des potes et surtout de s'affirmer, c'est de notre âge ». La réponse cinglante de la plus jeune des demoiselles est une gifle pour moi l'adulte. Bizarrement, je ne suis pas vraiment étonné. En effet, l'alcoolisme juvénile atteint désormais une population de plus en plus jeune et de plus en plus féminine. Une étude publiée en janvier 1997 parle de 17% de lycéennes françaises entre 14 et 17 ans consommant régulièrement de l'alcool ; dix ans plus tard, pour la même tranche d'âge, ce pourcentage a doublé voir triplé. Elles sont now about 47% engage in almost daily.

First, teenagers are drinking from imitation because they saw their parents do. Then Sarah , another sidekick, opens the door to his world as it is shy and reserved, using alcohol to celebrate, to be funnier and especially dredged.


Horrible usability and dangerous ...

The band, like thousands of others across Europe, finds herself on Saturdays for fun. Consumption scale very quickly in excess. This is called the binge drinking express or bun; more common in Anglo-Saxon countries - Holland, Norway, Great Britain ... It is to absorb a large amount of alcohol in a very short period of time - requires permission from midnight! The main objective is to be drunk as soon as possible. We could laugh because this alcohol on Saturday night as well horrible effects is not dangerous in itself. However, with the usual dose of alcohol increases and Saturday is no longer sufficient, times and locations of drinking will move - the enclosure of the same school will not be spared.

As Sarah and Marion, most young people justified their alcohol by the friendliness, the worries, failures, and fear. They are nevertheless aware that alcohol is a slippery slope. But they do not feel concerned by the long term. They think to stop in time. However alcohol can become a prison, a drug. It is not a friend let alone a permanent source of inspiration.

This nocturnal encounter immerse myself in a certain melancholy. Why do they drink? "To forget! "Tit for tat replica Thomas bantering. Forget what? "To forget that we are ashamed," shouts he hanging his head. Ashamed of what? I was trying to understand who wish, in a reflex of paternalism, to rescue them. "Ashamed of drinking! "He finally trust me, while insisting that I go with vulgarity to buy them a drink at the local grocer.

damage hello!

We can consider the binge drinking as an indicator of alcohol consumption problem. It means a willingness to transgress the law. This mode of consumption and behavioral disorders associated with it are the main cause of social dangerousness of alcohol: loss of control, violent and impulsive behavior (fights, physical, moral or sexual) ... In addition to violence, there are serious medical complications: acute poisoning, respiratory disorders, trauma, alcoholic coma and in some exceptional cases, death.

So dear friends, eat in moderation. Think about tomorrow because these excesses can also damage the long-term brain.
