The Commercial Hippies, aka Anton and Chesh, started their musical history together scratching up long play break beat records at various parties in and around cape town, but their typically rugged good looks and winning personalities needed a less claustrophobic environment to breath, so they left the night club high life and headed for the great outdoors where their love of nature (and of course banging psychedelic trance) evolved into the force that they are today.

Their first release "Where dreams come from" received a figurative standing ovation from trance lovers the world round and although maintaining to keep the success from going to their heads would be well understood if they let it do so. Since these early days TCH have grown from strength to

MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) is a genre of online computer role-playing games (RPGs) in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world . As in all RPGs, players assume the role of a fictional character (most commonly in a fantasy setting) and take control over many of that character's actions. MMORPGs are distinguished from single-player or small multi-player RPGs by the number of players, and by the game's persistent world, usually hosted by the game's publisher, which continues to exist and evolve while the player is away from the game.There are manypopular MMORPG in the world, for example,World of warcraft, Anarchy Online, Dofus, EvE Online, Final Fantasy XI, Guild Wars,Maple Story,Ragnarok Online,RF online,Scions Of Fate,SilkRoad,Star Wars Galaxies,Saga of Heroes,VoyageCentury,Second Life,EverQuest,The Lord of the Rings Online,and so on.World of Warcraft is the best one in 2007.MMORPGs are very popular throughout the world, with combined gl

History of a 'miraculous mineral'Asbestos was used in scores of home materials during the 20th century, but there was a cost.By Arrol Gellner, Inman NewsOctober 1, 2006 Over a century ago, American builders began using a remarkable mineral product. Being mined from a type of serpentine rock, it was natural, abundant and easy to produce, yet its unique properties made it almost limitlessly useful.It was resistant to chemicals and intense heat. It was an excellent electrical and thermal insulator. Out of its fibers, you could weave a cloth that wouldn't burn. You could even mix it with other materials to make them stronger and more fireproof.ADVERTISEMENTOver the course of the 20th century, American industry — with the government's blessing — found thousands of uses for this miraculous mineral.Woven into a cloth, it was used to insulate electrical wires. Mixed with a binder, it made a fireproof insulation for pipes and ducts. Mixed with cement, it made a host of practically indestructible

The Hills Are In His Heart MusicDish
News Item
by Mark Kirby,

Whatever one could say about Hills Rolling, the moniker of one-man band Trey McGriff, you can't accuse him of having shallow roots. On his myspace page he lists as influences about one hundred or so bands and musicians. There are old schoolers (Otis Redding, The Beatles, Pink Floyd), new schoolers ( The Killers, My Morning Jacket), tweeners (Nirvana, Dinosaur, Jr.) electro types (The Cure, Depeche Mode) and eclecticians like him (Beastie Boys, Beck). No doubt this is in part a smart-ass commentary on the "what are your influences" question. It is also a list of people he has most likely listened to and is another way of saying that all the music he has heard, or for that matter, everything he has been through, is recorded by the brain, swished around by time, and reflected in his songs. Loves, hates, sounds, tastes, it's all in your head. Musically and lyrically, this message comes through loud and clear on his CD Sweet Tea.

With all this in his musical blender, he has come up with

Dan England first came to wider knowledge by placing fourth in 2005's Australian Idol contest. After spending 2006 as support for Shannon Noll and doing his own east coast run, Dan proved himself not only to be talented singer, but also an accomplished musician and songwriter.

Dan's debut EP includes tracks co-written with Tim Henwood (Super Jesus and Rogue Traders) and Jellyfish music (Pulp and George ) who combined forces to produce his debut release which climbed to number five on Itunes and AIR (Australian independent) charts.

"Modern art touches a sore spot, or several sore spots, in the ordinary citizen of which he is totally unaware.

The dainty steps, the delicate white plumage, the well-defined long neck with tapering bill – creating an elegant step on the carabao** sludge as though it were a goddess coming down from her celestial garden.

Researchers develop ultra low-cost plastic memory KurzweilAI.net Accelerating Intelligence News
Syndicated
Researchers at the University of Groningen have developed a technology for a plastic ferroelectric diode that could achieve a breakthrough in the development of ultra-low-cost plastic memory material. The technology is similar to that used in Flash memory chips. The memory diode can be programmed quickly, retains data for a long time, and operates at room temperature. The voltages needed for programming are low enough for the diode to be used in commercial applications and the material can be manufactured at low cost using large-scale industrial production techniques. Applications include an electronic price tag that could be read at the cash register of retail stores, replacing bar codes; and in a packaging material that could warn consumers when a product is nearing its expiration date.

Sweden and the Borders of the Surveillance State EFF.org Updates
Syndicated
A proposed new law in Sweden (voted on this week, after much delay) will, if passed, allow a secretive government agency ostensibly concerned with signals intelligence to install technology in twenty public hubs across the country. There it will be permitted to conduct a huge mass data-mining project, processing and analysing the telephony, emails, and web traffic of millions of innocent individuals. Allegedly these monitoring stations will be restricted to data passing across Sweden's borders with other countries for the purposes of monitoring terrorist activity: but there seems few judicial or technical safeguards to prevent domestic communications from being swept up in the dragnet. Sound familiar? The passing of the FRA law (or "Lex Orwell", as the Swedish are calling it) next week is by no means guaranteed. Many Swedes are up in arms over its provisions (the protest Facebook group has over 5000 members; the chief protest site links to thousands of angry commenters across the Web). With the governing a

Designer fuel offers more mpg, less emissions, less cost gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine
Syndicated
Now heres an interesting solution to the problem of reducing emissions using the same fleet of cars we have, but by using different fuel. Airplanes need high octane fuel and the octane rating has until now been achieved by adding tetraethyl lead, but that will be outlawed from 2010. Ethanol achieves the same octane rating boost but is unsuitable for use in aircraft. To solve the riddle, the newly announced SwiftFuel uses ethanol to produce a designer fuel with a 104 octane rating that has no ethanol in it. It runs fine in any existing plane (or car), and is a low emission, alternative made entirely from biomass that has 15-20% more energy per litre than petrol, so your plane (or car) will get better mpg too. And it costs half as much to make as current petroleum manufacturing cost. Whats the catch?..
