Market for unique handmade and design products and fair-trade products in an 19th century market hall in the heart of Kreuzberg.
handmade supermarket offers designers, crafters, artists and local mini-businesses a chance to show and sell their goods to the public. handmade supermarket is a place for products beyond mass production, anonymous shopping malls and sweat shop products. Whatever you buy here, it is not made in dark factories by exploited people in low-wage countries. instead of that you can meet the producers face to face.
The wonderful Markthalle IX or Eisenbahnmarkthalle (market hall) opened 1891 and stayed nearly undamaged trough WW2. But over the last years vanished all the small stalls and discount shops like Aldi, Kik and others occupied the place. The project group "Projektgruppe Markthalle IX", bought the market hall with the intention to revive the place and bring back the ambience of a real market hall.
The market is organized by" supermarché – handmade*organic*fair" a small shop for handmade and fair trade goods just around the corner at 11th Lausitzer Platz.

Special R-Patz delivery!
On May 4, the Mele family of Naperville, IL. — diehard Twilight fans who dress up like the films' characters — had a surprise home visit from Robert Pattinson. The hunk's once-in-a-lifetime drop-by was coordinated and taped for the May 13 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Mom Maria Mele explains exclusively to UsMagazine.com that she reached out to Oprah producers two weeks ago; she hoped to attend the Chicago-studio taping of an episode where Pattinson and Eclipse costars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were slated to appear.
Claiming the studio audience was full, producers told Maria that her family might be featured in a Skype interview with Oprah Winfrey about their extreme Twilight fandom. Mele — who once traveled with her daughter to NYC to "stalk" Pattinson during a promotional tour for his flick Remember Me — quickly coordinated a photo shoot to send to producers.
"As crazy as we are, we all dressed up like the Cullens," she recounts of the saga's vampire clan. "My son looks exactly like [Pattinson's character] Edward, his girlfriend looks like [Stewart's heroine] Bella, my daughter looks like Rosalie [played by Nikki Reed]. So, we took some really great mock Twilight pictures outside in our front yard. They were posing in the tree, looking like vampires."
Instantly convinced, producers told Mele the Skype interview was a go. When a camera crew showed up the night of May 4 outside the family's front door, Mele knew something beyond a live video chat was up.
"We answered the door, and it was Robert! He was just amazing, just like we imagined him to be," she gushed.
After Pattinson came inside, the family took a while to compose themselves.
"He wasn't here for very long, maybe ten minutes," Mele explains. "We were screaming for the first five! We were all going nuts. "
Notoriously shy Pattinson (who turned 24 on Thursday) didn't balk at their enthusiasm, Mele says.
"He hugged every one of us. I told him about me and my daughter coming to see us in New York. He was like 'Oh, I think I remember you!' I was like, 'That's pretty funny — no you don't!' He has a great sense of humor."
How did the British star look? "Honestly, I was in so much shock that I couldn't concentrate on anything — I was way too excited. His hair was messy and perfect. He's very thin."
"I couldn't believe how tall he was!" she adds. For a group photo, "he stood up and squatted so he'd be sort of our height."
The actor left another kind of impression in the family's abode. "Rob had a mud mark on his shoe when he walked in, and we had just had our carpet cleaned. I told my husband, 'You are never washing that footprint!' It was hilarious."
Watching the segment on the show (the Mele family also scored tickets to the live taping in Chicago), Maria was heartened by Pattinson's comments as he left their house. "He said 'Oh, I really want to stay here and hang out with them…He actually liked us!"

CSIRO aims to establish and build relationships with members of the community. We welcome people of all ages to come and explore our facilities, holiday programs and public events.
Phone: 1300 363 400
Email: email@example.com
CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, is Australia's national science agency and one of the largest and most diverse research agencies in the world.
Large-scale, long-term, multidisciplinary science to address Australia's major national challenges and opportunities.
CSIRO expertise is organised into 11 research areas
CSIRO manages national facilities and collections that are opened to researchers around Australia and overseas.
CSIRO's Tropical and Arid Systems Program has around 60 staff located in Alice Springs, Atherton, Cairns, Darwin and Townsville. We conduct research on Indigenous livelihoods, fire and savanna dynamics, tropical forest ecology, grazing systems and grazing land condition, invasive species and biodiversity conservation. While we are based in northern and central Australia, our work addresses national and international challenges.
Page 1 of 4
Our research addresses national priorities relating to biodiversity, ecosystem services and community development in tropical and arid zones. Most of our work is conducted in landscapes that are relatively unmodified and unpopulated, in comparison to the cleared landscapes of southern Australia. Our scientists have expertise in a wide range of northern and central locations, from Queensland's Wet Tropics, northern savannas, catchments of the Great Barrier Reef and pastoral rangelands, to the tropical and arid zones of the Northern Territory and Western Australia.
We aim to provide evidence-based solutions and knowledge that meet community needs and informs government policy. The national challenges that we work on include:
Our Research Groups are organised by site rather than science discipline. With the exception of Darwin, all of our Research Groups are based outside capital cities, in the more remote parts of northern and central Australia. This allows us to deliver our science in many areas that other scientists are unable to. It also allows us to build up strong relationships with our stakeholders, and to develop a deep local knowledge of the systems we work in.
CSIRO's laboratory in Alice Springs conducts research that addresses a range of issues in arid and semi-arid rangelands.
CSIRO's Atherton Laboratory is located in the heart of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in far north Queensland.
The CSIRO Darwin laboratory provides a focus for ecological and socioeconomic research underpinning sustainable land management in northern Australia. It is also home to a CSIRO Science Education Centre.

God "has promised us great things; yea, even a visit from the heavens," Joseph Smith prophesied in 1833.1 Three years later on Easter Sunday, the resurrected Savior appeared to the Prophet in the Kirtland Temple and announced, "I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father."2
"After this vision closed, the heavens were again opened" and at the Lord's direction the ancient prophets Moses, Elias, and Elijah appeared, one by one, to the Prophet Joseph and Oliver Cowdery and committed the "keys of this dispensation"3 to carry forward "ordinances instituted in the heavens before the foundation of the world."4
With these keys, the "power to seal on earth and in heaven,"5 we can be united with our Father in Heaven as families for eternity and fulfill the promise "to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the children to the fathers."6

Jesus Christ is our Advocate with the Father (see Moroni 7:28; D&C 110:4) and pleads our cause with Him (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Advocate," 12).
An Old Testament prophet who led the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. Moses appeared to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery on April 3, 1836, in the temple in Kirtland, Ohio, and conferred on them the keys of the gathering of Israel (see D&C 110: 11; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Moses," 168–169).
There are several uses for the name or title Elias, including (1) the New Testament (Greek) form of Elijah (see Matthew 17:3–4); (2) as a forerunner, such as John the Baptist (see Matthew 17:12–13); (3) as a restorer, such as John the Revelator (see D&C 77:14) or Gabriel (see Luke 1:11–20; D&C 27:7); as the name of a prophet who lived at the same time as Abraham (see D&C 84:11–13; 110:12; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Elias," 72).
An Old Testament prophet who returned in the latter days to confer the keys of the sealing power on Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery. The power of Elijah is the sealing power of the priesthood by which things that are bound or loosed on earth are bound or loosed in heaven (see D&C 128: 8–18). Chosen servants of the Lord on earth today have this sealing power and perform the saving ordinances of the gospel for the living and the dead (see D&C 128:8; The Guide to the Scriptures, "Elijah," 72–73).
Sacred rites and ceremonies. Ordinances consist of acts that have spiritual meanings, such as covenants with the Lord (The Guide to the Scriptures, "Ordinances," 184–85).

LANSING (AP) -- Michigan wildlife officials are expanding the antlerless deer hunting territory for this fall's hunt.
The Natural Resources Commission on Thursday decided to open more deer management units in the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula for hunting.
Those areas are being opened because of increased deer population. A list of open deer management units and their hunting quotas will be published soon in the 2012 Antlerless Deer Hunting Digest.
Antlerless deer license applications go on sale July 15. The Department of Natural Resources says special statewide hunts for youth and disabled veterans will be held Sept. 22-23

Social Security:
Reform Proposals Could Have a Variety of Effects on Distribution of Benefits and Payroll Taxes
GAO-04-872T, Jun 15, 2004
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-5491
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the current Social Security benefit formula, retired workers can receive benefits at age 65 that equal about 50 percent of preretirement earnings for an illustrative low-wage worker but only about 30 percent for an illustrative high-wage worker. Factors other than earnings also influence the distribution of benefits, including the program's provisions for disabled workers, spouses, children, and survivors. Changes in the program over time also affect the distribution of benefits across generations. Social Security faces a long-term structural financing shortfall. Program changes to address that shortfall could alter the way Social Security's benefits and revenues are distributed across the population and affect the income security of millions of Americans. The Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging asked us to discuss how selected Social Security reform proposals might affect the distribution of benefits and taxes.
Two distinct perspectives on Social Security's goals suggest different approaches to measuring "progressivity," or the distribution of benefits and taxes with respect to various earnings levels. Both perspectives provide valuable insights. An adequacy perspective focuses on benefit levels and how well they maintain pre-retirement living standards. An equity perspective focuses on rates of return and other measures relating lifetime benefits to contributions. Both perspectives examine how their measures are distributed across earnings levels. However, equity measures take all benefits and taxes into account, which is difficult to calculate for reform proposals that rely on general revenue transfers because it is unclear who will bear the relative burden for those general revenues. The Social Security program's distributional effects reflect both program features and demographic patterns among its recipients. In addition to the benefit formula, disability benefits favor lower earners because disabled workers are more likely to be lower lifetime earners. In contrast, certain household patterns reduce the system's tilt toward lower earners, for example, when lower earners have high-earner spouses. The advantage for lower earners is also diminished by the fact that they may not live as long as higher earners and therefore would get benefits for fewer years on average. Proposals to alter the Social Security program would have different distributional effects, depending on their design. Model 2 of the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security proposes new individual accounts, certain benefit reductions for all beneficiaries, and certain benefit enhancements for selected low earners and survivors. According to our simulations, the combined effect could result in lower earners receiving a greater relative share of all benefits than under the current system if all workers invest in the same portfolio.

Water Crisis 2008
Storm Warning
The Democratic Alliance regards the delivery of good quality water to all households, not only as a constitutional mandate but also as a moral duty to all South Africans.
The DA has various proposals to address this problem, including:
In urban areas:
The DWAF should be empowered to fine and prosecute municipalities that fail to maintain their water and sewerage systems.
Establish a national task team within DWAF to work with the 100 municipalities where the water quality management is at its worst.
Implement a clear career progression plan and opportunities for staff to improve their skills.
Establish a hotline number where victims of poor water quality can highlight their problems before they become a crisis.
Amend legislation to require local councils to take ecological constraints into account before initiating or extending water delivery services.
In rural areas:
Initiate a process which involves all farmers, developers, industries and local councils in the holistic management of water.
Review all legislation pertaining to the management of our water resources and ensure that all aspects of the law are compatible.
Where water reserves have been dangerously contaminated, an effective action plan needs to be implemented to deal with the problem, rather than high-level denials by officials.

Executive Summary
Many South Africans can no longer rely on the quality of the water that is delivered to their homes because of comprehensive neglect at several different levels. If we are to avoid a similar crisis to that facing Eskom right now, we need to urgently take some long-term preventive steps to protect our water supplies.
The Wonderfonteinspruit catchment area is a particularly clear example of how bureaucratic neglect and unfettered industrial activity are polluting our water at its source. Last year, the Brenk Report showed how sediments within the water at the Wonderfonteinspruit had been contaminated by potentially dangerous chemicals as a result of several decades of acid mine drainage.
This example is part of a generalized official disregard for the environmental consequences of industrial and agricultural activity.
The problems are exacerbated by shortcomings in the management of our dams, which reduce the supply of water we have available and also affects its quality. According to a reply given by Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry Lindiwe Hendricks in July last year, only 160 of the 294 dams owned and managed by her department comply with modern safety standards.
As the quality of the water from our water sources deteriorates, it becomes more complex and more expensive to purify this water to make it safe for drinking. For example, the City of Cape Town is spending R400 000 a month more than it should on treating water from the Voelvlei dam alone because of the high level of pollutants in the water.
To compound this problem, the water treatment plants themselves and the pipes that deliver clean water are old and dilapidated. But few councils are doing anything more than band-aid maintenance.
A further complication is that councils have been under enormous pressure to expand water and sewerage infrastructure to service previously under-serviced areas. This has added to the burden on existing infrastructure. In 2003 the DWAF warned about the consequences of rolling out new water projects without setting aside enough money to maintain the existing facilities. But the political pressure to deliver has often caused this problem to be ignored.
The DA has various proposals to address this problem, which we have separated into rural and urban solutions.
In urban areas:
The DWAF is empowered to fine or prosecute municipalities that fail to maintain their water and sewerage systems adequately. It has hardly ever done so. It needs to adopt a zero tolerance approach towards non-compliant councils.
A national task team needs to be established within the DWAF to work with the 100 municipalities where water quality management is at its worst.
The main problem with South Africa's water infrastructure is not lack of money but poor operation. DWAF, in conjunction with municipalities, must therefore develop clear career progression paths for staff and a range of in-house training modules to give staff the opportunity to upgrade their skills.
Municipalities need to learn from those which have overcome their problems. A survey of success stories needs to be conducted and compiled into a best practices guide to assist municipalities that are still struggling.
The victims of poor water quality are the ordinary people. We propose a national hotline to give people the opportunity to highlight problems before they turn into a national crisis.
Local Water Services Development Plans do not take sufficient account of existing water resource management principles. We need to amend legislation to require local councils to take ecological constraints into account before initiating or extending water delivery services.
Co-operative governance is proving to be an ineffective tool in protecting the environment against the negative impacts of human activity, and legislation and policies at different levels sometimes contradict each other. Clearer legislative boundaries need to set, and ideally much more involvement from the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism is required in adjudicating over environmental decisions.
Finally, as a result of the country's apartheid past, there is little culture in South Africa of participation in government processes relating to the environment. While the government cannot compel people to be more involved in decisions that will affect them, it can certainly make it easier for opinions to be heard and it can create more effective avenues through which the public can express their opinions.
In terms of rural solutions, we propose the following:
Firstly, in order to make all the parties whose actions affect water quality involved in preserving it, a process needs to be initiated to involve all farmers, developers, industries and local councils in the holistic management of water.
The premier international example is the Catskill-Delaware Water Management System, which delivers 4.5 billion litres of water from the Catskill-Delaware watershed system to nine million people in New York every day. The water is of such pristine quality that it does not require filtration, but the water is delivered at one eighth of the cost of a filtration system. The government needs to consider adapting the principles applied in this project to our own circumstances.
Secondly, many of the reserves where our water originates are fragmented and are poorly managed from a water retention point of view. A process needs to be started to review all the legislation pertaining to the management of our water resources and ensure that all aspects of the law are compatible, and to proclaim and properly manage these areas.
Finally, areas which are important reserves for water and which have been dangerously contaminated – the Wonderfonteinspruit is a key example of this - need to be tackled through specific action plans rather than high-level denial. The DWAF needs to keep on top of problem areas and ensure that local councils or provinces respond appropriately.

Services are becoming an important revenue source for more and more businesses. Even those industries that historically dealt only in products ‒ retailers, distributors and manufacturers ‒ are looking to services to expand revenue streams and diversify the business. Examples include:
- The furniture retailer offering in-home decorating services.
- The hardware distributor providing an inventory management system to retail customers.
- A machinery manufacturer adding maintenance contracts to proactively service machines.
When you add services to your current product offering, it's important to implement the processes that support the new business model. An ERP system designed to support service businesses will provide the foundation for best practices that promote profits and high customer satisfaction. Key functionality that you should look for in an ERP include:
- Automated workflows. When multiple people and departments are involved in service delivery, automated workflows ensure smooth hand-offs. When a task is completed, an alert or email is automatically sent to the next task owner to move the project along.
- Allocation of true costs. Choose a system that will allow you to allocate indirect as well as direct costs to your service delivery so that you can accurately evaluate profitability.
- Manage time, costs and expenses. It should be easy for your employees to enter and assign time and expense to each job they work on.
- Analyze results. Gathering data across service engagements will allow you to gauge profitability and adjust your offerings. With flexible reporting, you should be able to analyze multiple components of your service delivery.

Washington, DC Thursday, February 23, 2012
Georgetown Law Center student Sandra Fluke testified before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee on women's health and contraception. She was the only witness scheduled.
She was blocked from testifying at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee the previous week on the 2010 health care law regulation requiring employers and insurers to provide contraception coverage to their employees. The first panel of the hearing only had men as witnesses.
When requests to televise today's hearing were turned down by the House recording studio, aides to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed that Republicans on the Committee on House Administration wanted to "silence" the issue of women's health. A spokeswoman for the committee denied the charge, pointing out that the committee was not involved in the studio decision.
Democrats complain that changes to the House broadcast rules should have permitted the broadcast. Republicans, on the other hand, say that the recording studio is only following established procedures.

Russian legislator accused of treason after U.S. visit
The Daily Briefing
Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatch public affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
Your Right to Know
Dmitry Gudkov supports the Russian political opposition.
MOSCOW -- In a striking move to purge the Russian parliament of contrarian voices, legislative leaders yesterday accused an opposition lawmaker of treason, saying he used a visit to Washington to urge the United States to meddle in Russia's internal affairs.
The accused lawmaker, Dmitry Gudkov, is one of just two members of the state Duma who are leading supporters of the Russian political opposition and who have participated since December 2011 in the large street protests in Moscow calling for the ouster of President Vladimir Putin.
This week, Gudkov was expelled from his party, Just Russia, after its leaders said he had refused to give up his leadership role in the opposition. Just Russia is one of three minority parties in the parliament, which is controlled by United Russia, the party that nominated Putin for president.
The accusations of treason against Gudkov, 33, are seen as a clear precursor to an effort to strip him of his seat.
Gudkov visited the United States this month. He participated in a panel discussion held by Freedom House, a nonprofit group that works to promote democracy.

Great to win an event that won plaudits in Runners World Top 5 10k's in 2012, the turnout today was unbelievable considering the weather and I really enjoyed the race and the atmosphere.Brilliant.
Byrne was followed home by 2011 winner Phil Clamp of Tipton Harriers in 34:44 with Benjamin Foster third in 35:08 (first 3 men pictured).
The female race was won by Jo Kirby in 40:55 with Jill McGee in 42:27 and Julie Gilmore came third in 44:44 (first 3 women pictured).

Dr. Richard Kahn to Spearhead Innovative Senior-Care Practiceat Quarry Hill and Knox CenterCare in the vanguard of senior communities nationwide
Pen Bay Healthcare has announced the appointment of midcoast internist Dr. Richard Kahn as Senior Services Physician Specialist, effective Oct. 5. In his new role, Kahn will focus exclusively on caring for the residents of PBH's two senior communities, Quarry Hill in Camden and the Knox Center for Long Term Care in Rockland.
Initially, Kahn will concentrate on providing primary care for nursing-care residents at both centers and to assisted living residents at Quarry Hill. In time, administrators expect his role to expand to include Quarry Hill's independent living residents as well.
Pen Bay Healthcare Senior Services Director Bob McKeown said Kahn's appointment places Quarry Hill and the Knox Center in the vanguard of senior communities nationwide. He said the innovation arose as a way to resolve economic and logistical issues that make it difficult for many primary-care providers throughout Maine and nationwide to visit their patients in nursing care.
"Having an onsite physician bypasses these obstacles, affording residents more frequent visits with a doctor, ensuring swifter response to emergent medical concerns, and reducing the need to send people to the hospital to get the attention they need," McKeown said.
McKeown indicated that residents will have the option of continuing to see their current primary care physicians or transferring to Kahn for those services while residing at Quarry Hill or the Knox Center. Similarly, he said, area physicians will have an opportunity to choose whether or not to continue visiting their patients in nursing care.
Elaborating on the benefits of the new model, McKeown said it will help both Quarry Hill and the Knox Center control costs, improve efficiency, and allow nurses more time to care for residents and provide the nursing perspective that is critical to sound medical decisions.
"We see this as a win-win situation that will benefit not only our residents but Pen Bay Healthcare as a whole. It speaks to the commitment of the entire Pen Bay Healthcare system to provide quality care across the service continuum," McKeown said.
Kahn began providing healthcare in the Camden-Rockport area in 1972. He completed undergraduate studies at Rutgers University and received his medical degree from Tufts University School of Medicine.

(WKYC) - Karen Kitchen loves when her 88-year-old father comes to visit but she also worries.
"He has a bad back condition that has gotten terribly worse, so he's gone from a cane, to a walker, to now a motorized wheelchair," Karen says.
Lynn Imondi, an Occupational Therapist with the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA), says it's important for homeowners to look for potential dangers.
"My biggest concern is that one of the dogs will knock him over. We have a lot of hazards along the way, like toys and dog beds," Karen says.
That's why she plans ahead for her Dad's visit, like keeping the dogs out of his way until he's settled in a chair.
Lynn says always keep walkways clear and thinks about getting in and out of the house.
"Often times, people will use the front door out of habit, but the back door or garage door may be best because of the shelter most have over them," Lynn says.
She says floor clutter can be deadly.
"If a walker or cane is involved, pull up the throw rug, get rid of the extra things that are on the floor, and make that space very open and easy to walk through," Lynn says.
Keep areas well lit or contrasted to help with vision issues.
"A white table cloth and white plates are beautiful, but may be hard to see if you have vision problems, so it might be better to have white plates, with a gold or black table cloth," Lynn says.
One of the most dangerous areas is the bathroom. Make sure there's plenty of room and safe and easy access.
"Ideally, the height of the seat should be the height of a chair. There's actually equipment out there, around $30, that you can buy to raise the seat. The best thing is to either have a high toilet seat or the raised toilet seat with handles, so that mom or dad can hold onto them to push up to get off and out," Lynn says.

A little boy asked his teacher if he could go to the bath- room.
She said yes.
When he went to wipe his fanny there was no toilet paper so, he used his hand.
When he got back to class, his teacher asked, "What do you have in your hand?"
The boy said, "A little leprechaun and if I open my hand he'll get
scared away."
He was then sent to the principal's office and the principal asked
him, "What do you have in your hand?"
The little boy said, "A little leprechaun and if I open my hands
he'll get scared away."
The principal got mad and yelled, "Open your hands NOW!"
He did and the little boy said, "Oh great , now look what you did,
you scared the shit out of him!"

For the money, it is the best place to stay. It is close to the metro station and all kind of stores nearby. The internet signal in the lobby or waiting area is strong but it does not reach the upper floors. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay there again when I visit Caracas.

I can't believe shpongle and hallucinogen come to Antwerp !!? :shock: Is it really true? In september 2007 they would come to Gent, but it didn't happen (anyone know why?), so I hope this will happen!!
Greetzz stay shpongled
Behind closed eyelids the quality of the vision spills over into the external world, into devine moments of truth
Hey Atman, they didn't come to Gent because Merrie Melodies cancelled the event. About the Antwerp gig, Infected Mushroom is comming too. Too bad it's a Back 2 Basics party. They're the Antiworld of Belgium. Soullles commercial events with commercial sponsors, adverts on the Belgian music channels, right in between 2 jumpstyle adverst, and posters and flyers in every snackbar possible. The venue will probably be way too small. Prepare yourselves for a "sardines in a can" party.
Too bad.
well it will be on a new location that B2B never used yet its a location for over 3000 people so no sardine shit
and offcourse we make alot of commercieel shit…it cost alot to make such a party ..if you want to see this names ..then you have to take the commercieel part…
The promotor is stating on a Belgian forum that Shpongle is playing live. Is there any confirmation from Twisted Records' side on that?
Can't actually see the thread. The link just takes us to a login page. What forum is it in and what topic is it?
ॐDiMuTechॐ DiMuTech Music - Myspace Music - DiMuTech Photography Faith is something someone wants you to have, when they are trying to make you believe something unbelieveable. Knowledge gives us answers. Understanding them gives us wisdom
It's psychedelic.be/forum, and you have to register first.
Yeah I got it now. It does state a live set but I doubt it. It takes a lot to put together for a shpongle live set. I may be wrong though

Larry Raymond, 55, has no known permanent address, and online court records don't list an attorney for him.
Raymond came to town Aug. 17 and told a real estate agent he was looking for a downtown apartment or condominium, Det. Jack Mook told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ( http://bit.ly/PEGQgi).
Once here, he stayed at five upscale hotels by claiming his wallet was stolen and promising to pay later, each time producing a phony bank statement as proof that he had the financial means, police said. But Raymond left each hotel without paying and tried to do the same at a sixth hotel, but "became nervous and left the building" when a desk clerk at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel turned him away, according to a criminal complaint.
Police arrested Raymond on Wednesday about an hour after he checked into the Cambria Suites hotel, where he was located with the help of the real estate agent. She told police Raymond had claimed to be a wealthy retiree from Harrisburg who lost his wallet at a convenience store while trying to relocate to Pittsburgh.
Police first learned of Raymond from the security director of the Omni William Penn, who told police last week that he left without paying a $753 bill.
Mook eventually learned Raymond skipped out on a $360 bill at the Westin; a $792 tab for three nights at the Downtown DoubleTree; and $1,559 for five nights at the Mariott. That bill included meals in the lounge, gift shop purchases, laundry and even Starbucks coffee. He's also charged with scamming the Sheraton Station Square.
"He's a nationwide con artist," said Mook, referring to Raymond's criminal history that spans several states and decades for crimes including fraud, larceny and bad checks.
Raymond remained in the Allegheny County jail on Friday, unable to post $50,000 bond, and has a preliminary hearing Sept. 5 on charges including theft of services and theft by deception.

Our annual slate of ideas will run through Tuesday.
TODAY: gifts for teenagers
iPod lamp
$39.95 at Amazon.com, with variable prices at many other sites
With several variations, the Vibe Candy iPod lamp offers the ideal combination of a lamp and stereo for a bedroom or dorm room. It features speakers and a docking station, with volume control, and handles other auxiliary devices.
Vans iPhone 4/4s case
$20 at www.vans.com
From the skateboard apparel company comes a durable phone case that mimics some of the brand attributes, such as the waffle pattern of its shoe soles on the back. A warning for parents, though: A purchase doesn't guarantee hipness.
Jewelry tree
$119 at Pottery Barn stores at Easton Town Center and the Mall at Tuttle Crossing, and www.potterybarn.com
Made of cast aluminum, the 18-inch jewelry holder adds a classy accent to a dresser or vanity. And its antique-bronze finish means that it should match just about anything.
Touch-screen gloves
$29.99 at www.agloves.com
No more biting off gloves and freezing while tapping away at a smartphone: The gloves rely on " grip dots" in the palms to cut down on the number of drops (but not necessarily in the number of dropped calls).
Finger drums
$18.99 at www.vat19.com
Taps on the tom-toms, snare, bass or cymbal produce realistic sounds. The drums, in red or purple, measure only 7 inches wide and 5 inches tall — with three AAA batteries included. Rock on, dude!

Hi. I've been an avid user of AutoPatcher for many years, and very active on the old forums. Very sad when the project closed up.
Now that AutoPatcher has been re-incarnated after a Microsoft cease and desist, I feel a bit leery about its use. To be honest, I was much more comfortable downloading patches from Mirrored sites, because I knew at least one independent researcher had reviewed and approved of the patch before its inclusion into AutoPatcher. Now that the updates are scraped from Microsoft Servers, I feel uneasy at the thought that Microsoft might remove or modify existing patches in order to push support for Vista or force Genuine Advantage and other Longhorn crap down our throats.
My questions:
Is there any safety net in the new AutoPatcher that would verify the contents of a patch once downloaded as "Approved by AutoPatcher" against a known hash list?
Is there any effort to provide mirrored downloads in the event that Microsoft starts pulling useful patches, such to detour the use of AutoPatcher or Windows 2K, XP, et al.
I am afraid to touch the AutoPatcher unless I know these things to be true, and would just stick with my old copy from 2007.
To be honest, I'm rather startled to see AutoPatcher brought back, still an independent project. It creeps me out that Microsoft didn't throw some money at Antonis and just buy-and-sink AutoPatcher. Or did they? Is there any Microsoft involvement today? Why did you suddenly switch websites and hosting for something more expensive? Am I being paranoid?
Are Patches by Microsoft Servers still Verified?
