The Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte (Museum of Prehistory and Early History) is one of the largest international collections of archaeological and prehistoric finds from the Old World. Its treasures are displayed in the Neues Museum on the Museumsinsel Berlin. The collections trace the development of prehistoric and protohistoric cultures from the Paleolithic period up to and into the High Middle Ages. Collection highlights include the famous skull of the Neanderthal from Le Moustier, Heinrich Schliemann's collection of Trojan antiquities, and the 'Berlin Gold Hat'. Recent finds from excavations in Berlin also include objects representing modern and contemporary history. Levels 1 and 2 of the Neues Museum contain the Nordic 'Vaterländischer Saal' with its historical murals, the Cyprus collections, the archaeology of the Roman provinces and of 'free' Germania, as well as the gallery covering the Migration Period up to the High Middle Ages. Level 3 takes visitors even further back in time to prehistory and ancient history in the newly designed permanent exhibition 'Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age'.
A newly devised tour will take visitors along a 'processional way' leading to the famous Bronze-Age Golden Hat, now more brilliantly illuminated than ever. Other special highlights are the new showcase illustrations; elaborate montages on the back walls of the cases provide dramatic settings for the exhibits. Also well worth seeing is the animated watercolour installation, 'The Time Machine', which shows how the foothills of the Alps changed over time under the influence of man, from the Stone Age through to the Bronze Age. In the Stone-Age room a new film uses timelines and propagation maps to explain the transition from non-permanent to permanent settlements and the development of arable farming and animal husbandry. Another new item on display is the reconstructed face of an 11-year-old Neanderthal boy, based on the Le Moustier skull. http://www.smb.museum/kalender/detail/steinzeit-bronzezeit-eisenzeit.html

Ambergris Today Online-Sofia Munoz, Associated Press
SAN PEDRO, Belize — Software company founder John McAfee said Wednesday he is in hiding, unarmed and accompanied only by a young woman, changing locations and telephones frequently to stay one step ahead of a Belize police unit he says wants to kill him.
Belize police have said they want to question McAfee, who they describe as a "person of interest" in the slaying of fellow American Gregory Viant Faull. Faull, 52, was shot to death over the weekend on the Caribbean island where both men lived.
Prime Minister Dean Barrow said McAfee was only wanted for questioning and should report to authorities.
Barrow also expressed doubts about McAfee's mental state: "I don't want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers."
McAfee, 67, who had a run-in with police earlier this year, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from an undisclosed location that he didn't kill Faull, though he acknowledged he had differences with the dead man.
"I barely knew him, I barely spoke ten words to him in the last three years," McAfee said, speaking on a cellphone. "Certainly he was not my favorite person and I was not his."
"He was a heavy drinker and an annoyance. But the world is full of annoyances; if we killed all of our annoyances, there would be nobody left," McAfee said.
Other expat residents of the island of Ambergris Caye, where San Pedro is located, have described Faull, the owner of a construction business in Orlando, Florida, as peaceful and well-liked.
The dispute apparently involved several dogs that McAfee kept at his beachside villa and that drew complaints from neighbors. McAfee said that four of his dogs were poisoned late last week, but that he didn't initially suspect Faull of having killed them, though he knew Faull didn't like the dogs.
"He did threaten to shoot them once or twice," McAfee said of Faull, adding that his neighbor was "always angry at them."
But he said he now believes government agents or police poisoned the dogs.
"My assumption was it was some kind of government action again. This is more harassment - that was the first thing that went through my mind, and still is going through my mind. What else could it have been?" he said.
Faull was found with a gunshot wound to his head inside his two-story home north of San Pedro. The housekeeper discovered the body Sunday morning and called police.
Raphael Martinez, spokesman for Belize's Ministry of National Security, said no charges had been filed in the case, but urged McAfee to turn himself in, accompanied by someone else, if he felt safer that way.
But McAfee said he feared that Belize's notorious Gang Suppression Unit, the GSU, a paramilitary-style squad that has been accused of rough treatment and that raided another property McAfee owns in Belize in April, would beat him and he would later die in custody.
"The GSU will do what the GSU does, beat me soundly until I confess to a multitude of sins, including I guess the murder of Jimmy Hoffa, and then just execute me," McAfee said.
He accused authorities of detaining his friends and associates in a bid to pressure him to turn himself in.
"Of course, and it's almost working," McAfee said. "I'm sitting here, the young woman who is with me now and who has been by my side, and trying to keep me upbeat through this, I said, 'You know, I'll just call and say I'll turn myself in, just let these people go.' And she said, 'Absolutely not, they will kill you.'"
"I keep moving constantly, sir ... and I keep changing telephones constantly, this phone will expire shortly," he said.

Drugs are an important aspect in the GTA series. Drugs take place in every single Grand Theft Auto game, they are sold, bought (for others), and used by characters around the protagonist on many occasions.
Adrenaline in the GTA III era games were sometimes mentioned as drugs by GTA fans. There was also a deleted feature where in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Carl Johnson would be able to smoke weed which would make the camera wobble around making hard to control CJ.
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars the protagonist Huang Lee can control stocks of drugs and buy and sell them to other drug dealers which is a good way to make money. There are six types of drugs the player can deal: cocaine, heroin, downers, acid, marijuana, and ecstasy. On three occasions, Huang has to get drugs as 'buy ins' before initiating a mission.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories you could make business empires for drug manufacturing and distribution.
You can also sell drugs in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City while driving the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory truck.
It should also be noted that all of Grand Theft Auto's protagonists are against using drugs, though they frequently deal with them on a business level. Protagonists are never seen doing drugs, and when offered, deny it.
- One of the main premises of GTA San Andreas is getting crack, crack heads, and crack dealers out of Los Santos to make it a better place.
- Carl Johnson declines an offer for a bong hit from Frank Tenpenny in Body Harvest. Also when Ryder tries to get Carl to smoke marijuana Carl pushes him away and says "I don't fuck with that shit man."
- Victor Vance despises drugs, and is extremely uncomfortable even dealing with them. At the end of the game, when Lance reveals that he has obtained twenty kilograms of cocaine to sell, Victor declines, stating "No! No, No, I am not interested, got it?", to which Lance replies "Okay, man. Whatever you say.".
- Niko Bellic denies a toke of marijuana from Little Jacob on many occasions. He also immediately denies the coke Vlad offers him in Clean Getaway.
- Luis Fernando Lopez has shown that he isn't interested in drug dealing, as he tries numerous times to convince Armando and Henrique to get real jobs instead of selling drugs (as seen in Corner Kids), but still helps them steal drugs in the Drug Wars side-missions for money. Outside of the drug dealing missions, Luis also declines the coke Yusuf Amir offers him in the mission Sexy Time. Also when Ray Bulgarin asks Luis where do the drugs come in from the club in Boulavard Baby Luis immediately says "I don't know about that shit man, I just make sure people don't get killed".
- Huang Lee is warned by his uncle Wu Lee not to get involved in drug dealing during Tricks of the Triad, out of fear that he would become an addict, but Huang assures his uncle that he won't start using drugs himself. When the player reads some of the mission replay summaries, Huang states in them that he is dealing drugs solely for profit, since Liberty City is full of "crackheads, deadbeats, and junkies".
Accidental Drug Use
Some protagonists on occasion feel the effects of drugs by accident.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Tommy Vercetti gets drunk off of boomshine fumes when his friend Phil Cassidy uses it as a makeshift bomb, which blows off Phil's arm, forcing Tommy to drive Phil to the hospital while drunk.
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Carl Johnson is helping The Truth dispose of his marijuana fields by burning them before the cops arrive. This gets Carl high, and disrupts his basic motor skills.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Victor Vance is in a car accident with a van full of a cocaine. This causes Victor's sightline to narrow and blur with purple. His motor skills are also highly effected.
- In GTA IV, Little Jacob, a friend of protagonist Niko Bellic, has a habit of toking up at the wrong times. One such time includes when the two of them are flying in a helicopter chasing a suspected terrorist. In the enclosed space of the helicopter, Niko is slightly affected by the smoke. The player doesn't see the effects, but Niko's speech is slightly slurred. Afterwards, Niko allows him to continue smoking as the smoke calms his nerves.

WASHINGTON – Prince George's County police have released a male suspect for the robbery and beating of a 72-year-old man with a baseball bat and have arrested another man.
Edwin Manuel Gonzalez, 22, of Colmar Manor, Md., was taken into custody Sept. 28. Days before, police arrested Justin Charles Strong, 22, from Mount Rainier, Md., who was believed to be connected to the crime. Strong has since been released.
The victim was waiting at a bus stop before 6 a.m. on Sept. 15 when he was approached by a suspect who threatened him with a knife and demanded he hand over his wallet, police say. The victim refused, and police say the suspect left to get an aluminum baseball bat. Upon returning to the scene, the suspect allegedly began attacking the victim with the bat.
A passerby saw the incident and yelled for the suspect to stop. The suspect then fled the scene, police say.
Police responded to a report of an assault on Bladensburg Road and found the 72- year-old victim with severe injuries. The victim was taken to a hospital, where he was in stable condition as of Sept. 23.
Gonzalez is charged with attempted first- and second-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of attempted armed robbery. He is being held on a no bond status.

The Chicago Faucets Benefit:
- Commercial Grade Faucet: When a product is marked as "commercial grade" it means it has been built specifically to stand the test of time, and has been factory tested to function flawlessly through constant and continuous use. It is expected that faucets used in a commerce fashion will see much more use, and inversely abuse than typical faucets you might see in a residential setting, so they are engineered to do just that. Using simple, yet reliable, designs coupled with the industry's highest quality materials these faucets are some of the most reliable on the market. Although they are marketed as being ideal for commercial settings, the savvy home owner might take the quality found here and add a staple of functionality throughout the home as well.
- Quaturn Cartridge: The Quaturn cartridge was the industries first replaceable, completely self-contained valve cartridge. The cartridge allows the user to turn the water from full flow to off in just a quarter-turn. This unique cartridge was designed to close with the flow of the water rather than against it which reduces washer ware and virtually eliminates faucet drips. Although the Quaturn cartridge has been updated over the years to incorporate new technologies and materials it still holds true to its principals and is completely interchangeable with any Quaturn manufactured since 1913.
- ECAST Construction: With the threat of lead pollution in the public's supply of drinking water, Chicago Faucets was one of the industry's first to take the lead in finding a solution. These faucets are made of the same durable, high quality materials and fittings as always, however they are manufactured with .25% or less total lead content by weighted average. This means their faucets not only meet the strict guidelines first introduced by states like California and Virginia, but it surpasses those standards, coming as close to truly lead-free as possible.
Product Specifications:
- Faucet Height: 5-3/8" (measured from mounting plate to top of spout)
- Spout Reach: 12" (measured from center of faucet body to center of spout outlet)
- Required Installation Holes: 2
- Faucet Centers: 8" (center-to-center distance between installation holes)
- Rated Operating Pressure: 20-125 PSI
- Rated Operating Temperature: 40-140 - degrees Fahrenheit
- 2-3/8" handles included with faucet
- 1/2" connection - designed for use with standard U.S. plumbing supply bibs
- Certified to NSF/ANSI 61, Section 9 by CSA
- California Health and Safety Code 116875 (AB1953-2006)
- Vermont Bill S.152
- NSF/ANSI 372 Low Lead Content
About Chicago Faucets:Chicago Faucets has been a company that the nation has relied on for over a century to craft the highest quality and reliable plumbing products. It is one of the only manufacturers left today that can say they engineer and assemble their faucets in the United States of America. Through constant innovation, such as the patented ECAST material and Quaturn cartridges, Chicago Faucets has not only stayed at the top of the industry, but has revolutionized it in many ways. With a focus in commercial grade faucets they truly exemplify durability and dependability in every one of their products.

There are many cards which seem to be designed for use in a file, and cards whose function is relegated to use as a Soul Skill, but very few cards are good as both.
As the saying goes, Jerk... erm, "Jack of all Trades, Master of None".
Your challenge is to build a file that uses units both as Soul Cards and as cards to be fielded.
I'm kinda hoping that Rom/Logress are gonna let this pass as a tier-1 tournament >.>
Tournament Information
This tournament is postponed until some time eventually.
This is a double-elimination tournament with an upper and a lower bracket.
The final will be an advantaged final -- the player from the lower bracket must win twice before the player from the upper bracket wins once in order to win the tournament.
Duels will take place in the Training Arena; keep your fights public!
Restrictions and Bans
- Your Soul Cards must consist of five unique cards. Each card used as a Soul Card must also appear twice more in your Card File. (i.e. each Soul Card must appear three times total)
- Your Card File may also freely contain any number of Grimoires and single copies of other Units. You may have also an extra copy of any one Great Spirit.
- If a Unit other than any mentioned above is included in your Card File more than once, it may only be Set while either
- you have at least two of your units which are also in your Soul Cards open on the field, or
- All ten copies of your units also in your Soul Cards are in your Cemetery.
... I'll post an example sometime soon.
This is a Tier 1 tournament. The prizes are:
1st place - 50 Gran, 10 Point Cards
2nd Place - 10 Point Cards
Runners Up (3rd - 5th) - 2 Point Cards
All Participants - +2 Point Cards
Signing Up:
Post here, PM me, or tell me in the chat that you would like to sign up to do so. You must also PM your file so I can validate it; this may be done at any point before the tournament.
You may also edit your file at any time before the Tournament starts; any updates should be sent to me via PM. (in before I get 200 PMs about file changes a minute before the tournament) Once the Tournament begins you may not edit your File.
Additional Notes
You may find this helpful for seeing which pre-EX:Chroma cards were not Underdog for both Card and SoulSkill use: http://dfmchfhf.webuda.com/Alteil/card-list.php?udc=-1&uds=-1 (if you're one of the lucky people for whom this loads... apparently I'm not one of the people who can view my site. -.-)

DENVER (AP) -- Peyton Manning shook off a bleeding right thumb after banging it on an opponent's helmet to throw for 305 yards and three scores and lead the Denver Broncos to a 34-14 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday night.
It was Manning's fifth straight 300-yard game, setting a franchise record for Denver (4-3) and matching his personal best.
The Broncos won two in a row for the first time this season. They gained 530 yards against the Saints (2-5), who came in with the NFL's worst defense.
Denver held Drew Brees and the league's top-ranked passing offense to 213 yards passing in Joe Vitt's debut as interim coach after serving a six-game suspension for the team's bounty scandal.

I was just tipped off that the Obsidian Dragon / Tezcatli has had his wings clipped. As a backer I was outraged!
Old shiny was the major reason I backed, that and the bob cat. Thank the good lord you left him alone. I have or don't want most of the other cods wholp. Would it have killed you to a least let us have a quick roar round with him before you charged us 2sp to grim like a lunatic chimp? I also like the challenge of beating Oped cards.
I actually think the nerf is fair, but what I don't want is to feel like you have cheated me by prematurely advertising something then not delivering it.
Have you stated anywhere that the cards would be subject to change? Could you not have kept them under wraps until they were ready?
I just wonder how players will feel in the future when they buy something from the AH only to have it nerfed and lose value.
If you do want to talk about the other card changes you are quite welcome.

The world is overrun with blogs and tweets. While they serve a purpose, this column is something slightly different. You will not find out what the author had for breakfast or the colour of the socks he is wearing. You will not be pestered with tedious listings of every film, book, play etc that your correspondent has ever seen or his latest success or otherwise on the golf links.
What readers have come to expect from a writer who has been associated with AccountingWEB almost from its inception are objective but on occasion quite possibly opinionated articles about topics that might be of interest to accountants as people. The intention is to be simultaneously challenging, thought-provoking and entertaining.
Since the writer is a partner in the Human Capital team at BDO LLP these columns will frequently take on issues relating to taxation, business and government policy. For light entertainment, he is also London Editor of British Theatre Guide so there will be plenty of hints and tips about what to see and not to see.
He also regularly writes about technology for London Accountant and almost anything else under the sun for a variety of publications so there are always going to be odd surprises in store. Travel, art, books, theatre, sports and consumer issues are all likely to receive consideration in coming months - but so are taxation issues, thoughts on the latest technology and, inevitably, the activities of the Chancellor and HMRC.

Texas will make a short postseason trip this year to face No. 15 Oregon State in the Alamo Bowl.
The Longhorns (8-4) will need only to zip down Interstate 35 to San Antonio for the Dec. 29 game. It will be Texas' first appearance in the bowl since 2006.
Oregon State coach Mike Riley says it will also be a bit of a homecoming for Beavers running back Storm Woods, who is from nearby Pflugerville.
The Beavers (9-3) will be playing in a bowl game for the first time in three years.

February 2007
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
Every year at NDIA we engage in an earnest debate about the issues we believe to be critical to the defense community.
Based on input from our members, we have identified six issues that, for all intents, affect everyone who is involved in the business of providing goods and services to the nation's military, homeland security agencies and first responders. As we begin a new year, I believe it is important to highlight these concerns, and to ponder their significance.
Issue 1: Maintaining integrity and responsiveness of the acquisition process.
An equitable procurement process that supports the needs of the war fighter must achieve high levels of integrity and fairness. The acquisition process was designed foremost to be accountable, often at the cost of efficiency. Our national security demands an effective acquisition process that is transparent and ensures the ability of the government to purchase high quality products and services for fair prices.
There is no place in our procurement process for personnel on either side of a transaction that behave in a manner unworthy of public trust. Industry and the government must reinforce high ethical standards in the entire acquisition process. The federal procurement system must support this by enforcing effective checks and balances to eliminate the potential for unethical conduct, on all sides of a transaction.
Issue 2: Promoting defense workforce sustainability.
The Defense Department's acquisition workforce faces considerable challenges. During the next five years, nearly 50 percent of staff with these critical skills will be eligible for retirement. It is important to develop and preserve qualified acquisition personnel. We also need effective training with empowered leadership that supports and rewards acquisition professionals' use of individual judgment in decision making within the regulations. It is also obvious that in the past we have experienced failed leadership in some elements of defense acquisition. Superior leadership continues to be a central element in regaining and maintaining the public's trust in acquisition.
Issue 3: Investing in technology to support the war fighter and maintain readiness.
Funding for ammunition procurement is expected to shrink significantly during the coming years. The Defense Department and industry must begin now to plan the cooperative steps needed to secure a U.S. munitions industrial base. Historically, funding for procurement of ammunition has declined at high rates. Between 1985 and 1994, it dropped by 80 percent as budget cuts were made across the board. Little consideration was given to the consequences of this decline on long-term viability of the industrial base, and no planning was done to maintain munitions production capability. The result was a crippling of the industry. More than 75 percent of the companies exited the business.
The Defense Department and industry must determine the size and scope of an objective munitions industrial base that can be achieved in five years, and it should have a skilled workforce; modern and efficient equipment and facilities capable of surge performance.
In other areas of the industrial base, the Defense Department must boost funding for ground robotics research, for advanced manufacturing technologies and for aircraft survivability.
Issue 4: Improving small business utilization.
Recognizing the unique and vital role that small businesses play in the defense industry and the economy of the United States as a whole, an effective small business policy is critical to the health of the industrial base. Small businesses provide some of this nation's most innovative technologies. Two efforts, the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs are valuable. But there is a lack of marketing and business experience that often prevents SBIR/STTR technologies from entering the marketplace and transitioning into the defense community. Commercialization assistance beyond development funding of a technology would greatly enhance the success of these programs and the return on investment of the taxpayer dollar.
Issue 5: Preparing for defense transformation.
Information sharing and interoperability are key challenges for the Defense Department, the intelligence community and the Department of Homeland Security. Achieving this vision requires a framework of standards and architectures acceptable to both government and industry. Transforming acquisition, management, and operation of business information systems through increased application of commercial information products will allow the government to more effectively support national goals.
Issue 6: Ensure international competitiveness of the U.S. defense industrial base.
U.S. companies operating in the international marketplace face a major challenge. On one hand, there is an unprecedented push from many nations to develop future weapon systems in a coalition environment. On the other, there is a new imperative for vigilant controls of sensitive defense-related technology and data. To address these issues, the U.S. government has entered into bilateral discussions with its key allies. A prerequisite to participation in many U.S. led multi-national partnerships on defense procurement has been the strengthening of allies' export control regimes, especially third party transfer restrictions. Recently, the argument for stronger export controls has been buttressed by the growing threat of terrorist access to sensitive technologies. This "push" to tighten controls on technology juxtaposes with the "pull" of greater and more effective multi-national participation in weapon system development. These two opposing forces must be reconciled.
NDIA opposes the widespread imposition of protectionist measures and other actions that suppress innovation and competitiveness.
These six issues were selected based on input from our members. They were refined and approved by the NDIA Board of Directors.
The discussion associated with each one of these issues is too extensive to be covered in this column. A complete description of these issues can be viewed on the NDIA web site (www.ndia.org) under Advocacy-Policy and Top Issues. The bottom line, however, is simple: We want to ensure that the nation has a globally competitive industrial base that can continue to support the world's most powerful military force.
I welcome your thoughts.
Please email your comments to email@example.com.

University of Alabama head coach Nick Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby Smart stopped over in Alpharetta, Ga., on Tuesday to check in on a pair of 2013 Peach State prospects, Carlos Burse and Carl Lawson. At Milton High School, the meeting with Lawson was brief but helpful. The trio got a chance to talk about the recent Georgia Junior Bowl as well as some of the coaching changes that Alabama has made in the last week. "It was a nice visit," Lawson said. "It was just a quick little talk. As most people can tell, Coach Saban is very, very serious. We talked about me at the Rising Seniors game, what players I thought were good, my height and weight, family life, the coaching staff up there and how they want to get me in for a junior day."One of the expected new additions to the Crimson Tide coaching staff is a coach that Lawson is already familiar with. UA's new defensive assistant Lance Thompson served as Lawson's main recruiter when he was at Tennessee. "I talked to Lance a lot at Tennessee," Lawson said. "That's why Tennessee was one of my interested schools, but he left there. That helps Alabama extremely because that was the only person at Tennessee who paid me any attention."Thompson also has a strong relationship with Lawson's family from his days when he was an assistant coach at Georgia Tech. He coached Lawson's uncle when he played for the Yellow Jackets and also knew his dad from his time in Atlanta. "He used to train my uncle when he was at Georgia Tech," Lawson said. "He was in the NFL for a couple years, and Lance used to train him when he was at Georgia Tech. He trained him at defensive end/outside linebacker, that hybrid position."Lawson, a 6-foot-3, 245-pound junior, wants to play that same hybrid position when he gets to the next level and is intrigued by the Crimson Tide's Jack position. Thompson is expected to coach that spot next year for Alabama. "I like that position specifically because you get the best of both worlds in that 3-4 defense," Lawson said. "It's just fun. It mixes defensive end and outside linebacker, which I really, really like."Vanderbilt also came by to see Lawson on Tuesday, and he was expecting Clemson to be there today. He says Auburn and UCLA may be on the verge of offering and expects an offer from the Crimson Tide in the near future.Lawson plans to visit Tuscaloosa soon for one of Alabama's junior days.

The donation drive to raise money to purchase additional hardware for Dumpshock.com is now underway!
If you would like to donate via Paypal, please visit Dumpshock.com and click on the "Make a Donation" button at the bottom of the sidebar. If you would prefer to mail a check, please contact us at email@example.com. Every little bit helps, and there is no minimum donation. If you can afford to help out, we'd really appreciate it, but it's completely voluntary and we understand that not everyone can or wants to donate.
Background: As many of you know, the server which originally hosted Dumpshock.com went down in December of last year. Since then, we've moved some of the sites that were on the original server to our newer server. As a consequence of these moves, we've put considerably more load on the remaining server. We've reached the point now where we would either be forced to take a very long outage to bring down the remaining server and rebuild it, or purchase a new server.
With this in mind, we decided to go the latter route and purchase an additional server for Dumpshock.com. We estimate the cost of a new server to be in the range of $1300-1500 US to purchase a server sufficiently powerful enough that we should not have to upgrade the system for a long time.
I will be posting periodic updates to this thread as we near our goal. Thanks to everyone for their support over the years.

It'll be running Linux, quite likely Gentoo or Fedora, I can't make up my mind which just yet.

Not only does he dress well but it turns out that he is a singer as well. Click Here to check out John Rainbow's music and watch a video sampling of the 80 year old's tunes below:John Rainbow
