Quotes from crumplebangers re: the dj weekend
Andy Smart : "This festival has sent me deaf before it's even begun".
Scott Cairo : " Apart from that Mixlr really has made this possible, as a really simple way for people to stream their mixes live or premixed, I would be tempted to see if you can get some copy from them too, even if just lifted from their site.
Then there's the elements in getting this together, we needed a web site to handle the front end, someone (Pom) who is willing and able to set that all up, then you need a way of herding the cats:)
Paul Buddery : "We came we saw we pissed a lot yup that covers it."
Phil Russell : " People are going to get to hear some awesome mashed up music. Whether they want to or not."
Myk Tee : "The Worlds loudest festival....unless your wife makes you turn it down.
Europe's only festival without Bell Ends in jester hats!!
Pom Deter : "sheepishly takes off jester hat."
Matthew Kavanaugh : "Bustin' makes me feel good."
Marty Wells : "Shut up, log on and eat this."
Okie Okini : "Laziest mud-free festival on earth, where a range of exclusive djs set the new standard for future socialising music. by destroying everything that once was."
Thomas Bolvin : "Most exciting (and original) concept and gathering of DJs the bootleggers online community has came up in years."

Hello Bartcop fans,
As you all know the untimely passing of Terry was unexpected, even by
him. We all knew he had cancer but we all thought he had some years
left. So some of us who have worked closely with him over the years are
scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. My job, among other
things, is to establish communications with the Bartcop community and
provide email lists and groups for those who might put something
together. Those who want to play an active roll in something coming from
this, or if you are one of Bart's pillars, should send an email to
active@bartcop.com.
Bart's final wish was to pay off the house mortgage for Mrs. Bart who is
overwhelmed and so very grateful for the support she has received.
Anyone wanting to make a donation can click on this the yellow donate
button on bartcop.com
But - I need you all to help keep this going. This note
isn't going to directly reach all of Bart's fans. So if you can repost
it on blogs and discussion boards so people can sign up then when we
figure out what's next we can let more people know. This list is just
over 600 but like to get it up to at least 10,000 pretty quick. So
here's the signup link for this email list.

Sets Aug. 6 For 'Daily Show' Exit
Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart says Aug. 6 will be his last night hosting Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."
Stewart set the date in the closing moments of Monday's edition of the parody newscast. With tongue in cheek, he promised to wear a suit for that finale, and to shower beforehand. Then he recanted, saying he would be clad in overalls and skip the shower.
The network said "The Daily Show" will then go on hiatus for the rest of the summer.
Stewart's finale will end a 16-year reign of sharp satire and ample silliness. He first broke the news of his planned departure in February.

Proposes Pipeline
William Shatner
William Shatner in full Captain Kirk mode is looking to marshal a crew for a project with an astronomical budget to deal with California's drought problems, although some might call it a pipe dream.
The "Star Trek" star has told Yahoo! Tech journalist David Pogue he intends to start a crowdsource campaign on Kickstarter.com to raise $30 billion for a pipeline to bring water from the Seattle area for use by thirsty California.
"How bad would it be to get a large, 4-foot pipeline, keep it above ground - because if it leaks, you're irrigating," the 84-year-old Shatner told Yahoo! in a story posted on Friday.
"Frankly we found it highly illogical, to put it in 'Star Trek' terms," said Washington Department of Ecology spokesman Dan Partridge, using a catch phrase of "Star Trek" character Spock. "This would involve so many obstacles, so many hurdles that it would have to overcome to become reality.

$22 Million At Auction
100-Carat Diamond
A "perfect" 100-carat diamond in a classic emerald cut sold for just over $22 million at auction on Tuesday.
The internally flawless D color stone is the only classic emerald-cut white diamond of the highest color and clarity and over 100 carats to come to auction, according to Sotheby's.
The diamond was mined in southern Africa within the last 10 years and weighed over 200 carats before it was cut and polished, the auction house said.
Only five "perfect" diamonds over 100 carats have sold at auction in the last 25 years, with a 118-carat oval-cut stone fetching $30.6 million at Sotheby's in 2013. It set a record for a white diamond.
The record for any jewel is $46 million for a 24.78-carat emerald-cut pink diamond, set at Sotheby's in 2010.

Suspects Busted
Bourbon
Kentucky authorities indicted nine people Tuesday on charges of spiriting away what one prosecutor called more bourbon whiskey than a person could drink in a lifetime.
Prosecutors say the scheme led by rogue distillery workers lasted for years and involved tens of thousands of dollars' worth of whiskey but began to unravel when whiskey barrels were discovered behind a shed.
The theft targeted the Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey distilleries, they said, and included some prestigious brands, including pricey Pappy Van Winkle bourbon. It had been going on since 2008, officials said.
The indictments tied together the theft of barrels of Wild Turkey whiskey earlier this year and the disappearance of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon dating back to 2008 or 2009. Pappy Van Winkle is made at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, using a family recipe that traces back to the 1800s.

Launches Cartoon Weekly To Mock West
Pro-Puti
A group of supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday launched a satirical weekly with anti-Western cartoons and verses, calling it an answer to France's "Charlie Hebdo" magazine.
Activists from the Anti-Maidan movement, which organises rallies and concerts in support of the Kremlin's actions in Ukraine, gave out the first issue on a central pedestrian street.
The four-page magazine has large-format cartoons and carries an 18+ certificate. Its title, Sharzh i Pero, or Cartoon and Pen, evokes Charlie Hebdo.
Established early this year, Anti-Maidan includes groups representing bikers, Cossacks, athletes and veterans of the Afghan and Chechen wars, some of whom have fought alongside rebels in eastern Ukraine.

Where Is He
Panchan Lama
The Tibetan government-in-exile wants supporters to help pressure China to release the 11th Panchan Lama, a Buddhist leader who is believed to have been in Chinese custody since his disappearance as a child 20 years ago, the government's spokesman said Tuesday.
Exiles say Chinese authorities abducted Gedhun Choekyi Nyima on May 17, 1995, when he was 6 years old. He had been recognized three days earlier by the Dalai Lama as the reincarnation of the 10th Panchan Lama.
Soon after the boy went missing, China appointed another boy, Gyaincain Norbu, as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama. Tibetans believe the abduction was an effort by China to control the choice of the next Dalai Lama, as the Panchen Lama plays a key role in recognizing the Dalai Lama's reincarnation.
The Dalai Lama is the 14th person to be Tibetan Buddhism's spiritual leader, a tradition stretching back 500 years, with each Dalai Lama chosen as a child by senior monks through a series of mystical signs. Each is believed to be the reincarnation of his predecessor.
Many observers believe his death will lead to rival Dalai Lamas - one appointed by Beijing, which rules Tibet, and one by senior monks loyal to the current Dalai Lama.

Bighorn Sheep Die-Off
Montana
Montana has closed the hunting season on a wild herd of bighorn sheep, with pneumonia suspected of killing dozens of the animals whose seasonal mating rituals attract scores of wildlife watchers.
The emergency closure came after the disease-related deaths of more than 90 of the animals from a herd in northwestern Montana, where just 18 bighorns were counted earlier this month during a helicopter survey by state wildlife biologists. That is the lowest count since the herd was reintroduced to the area in 1979, they said in a statement.
The step marks the second such hunting closure by the Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission, with a similar move on March 23 for a herd near Yellowstone National Park, also due to fears over pneumonia.
More than 1 million bighorns once roamed the region but their numbers had fallen to just tens of thousands in the first decades of the 20th century because of unregulated hunting and disease, according to the Wild Sheep Foundation.

Animal Sex Tourism?
Denmark
Denmark passed legislation on Tuesday banning bestiality, toughening a law that animal rights activists feared was encouraging animal sex tourists to visit the country.
The bill amends a previous ban on intercourse that harms animals, something Farm Minister Dan Jorgensen argued was difficult to prove.
"The current legislation does not protect the animals enough. It's hard to prove that an animal suffers when a human has sexual intercourse with it, and that is why we must give the animal the benefit of the doubt," he wrote in an opinion piece.
Those voting for the bill said Denmark did not want to remain the last northern European country where bestiality was legal, as this was attracting animal sex tourists. Germany, Norway, Sweden and Britain previously banned it.
