M Is FOR MASHUP - July 11th, 2018
The Latest Hahnstudios Roundup
By DJ Useo
"mashup - Deutsch Deutsch - mashup" is the latest collection from well-known, & respected bootleg producer,
Hahnstudios
( mixes-for-the-masses.blogspot.com/2018/06/normal-0-21-microsoftinternetexplorer4.html ) .
Hahnstudios is a big favorite of mine. I've been enjoying his work since around 2004, & for all I know he was posting before then, even.
This new collection features the fine spin of each mix being a pairing of German artists. Among the tracks are such as Die Toten Hosen vs Rosenstolz, Sportfruende Stiller vs Wolfgang Ambros, & Ofra Haza vs Peter Fox. There's a few English artists snuck in there to ease the style transition, but it doesn't really need it, as all the tracks rule. Hahnstudios was skilled when he started, & has only become moreso over the years.
Once you become familiar with his mixes, you'll no doubt long for more. More of his gems are
easily available
from his sites

( mixes-for-the-masses.blogspot.com/ )
including his previous album "Make Mashups Great Again"
( mixes-for-the-masses.blogspot.com/2016/11/style-definitions-table.html )
He's a long-standing member in good terms at Audioboots Mashup Forum

where we anticipate with longing his creations.

Josh Marshall: How Is NATO Funded? And Why is President Trump Trying to Destroy It? (TPM)
As we move toward the NATO Summit and the Putin-Trump summit, I thought it made sense to review some of the details behind the President's demands that NATO member countries pay up and stop doing what he regards as freeloading on the US taxpayer dime. Most people have a general sense that Trump doesn't seem to grasp how an alliance works, that it's not meant to function as a protection racket.
Josh Marshall: The Curiously Weak Right to Vote (TPM)
Then there's whether your vote counts. Set aside numbers of 'spoiled' votes or the various ways that cast votes may go uncounted. We have already seen that under the current system of apportionment and districting, the Democrats can get substantially more votes for the House than Republicans and still remain in the minority. Some of that is the increasing efficiency and aggressiveness of gerrymandering. But not all of it. Some is deeply rooted in our system of representation.

Giuliani insisted on locating New York's emergency command center in the World Trade Center - a likely terrorist target - despite detailed objections from the police and Secret Service.

It seems that, password1, is your pass word. You do not know me and you are probably
wondering why you are getting this e mail, right?
In fact, I actually installed a malware on the adult videos (sexually graphic) site
and guess what, you visited this website to experience fun (you know what I mean).
While you were watching videos, your web browser started functioning as a RDP
(Remote control Desktop) that has a keylogger which provided me with access to your
screen and also cam. Immediately after that, my software obtained your entire
contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, and email.
What did I do?
I made a double-screen video. 1st part displays the video you were viewing (you have
a good taste hehe), and second part shows the recording of your web cam.
exactly what should you do?
Well, in my opinion, $1900 is a fair price for our little secret. You'll make the
payment by Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).

Note:
You now have one day in order to make the payment. (I have a specific pixel in this
message, and right now I know that you have read through this email message). If I
do not get the BitCoins, I will definitely send out your video recording to all of
your contacts including family members, coworkers, and so forth. Having said that,
if I do get paid, I will erase the video immidiately (sic). If you really want proof,
reply with "Yes!" and I definitely will send your video recording to your 15
contacts. This is the non-negotiable offer, thus do not waste my time and yours by
responding to this e-mail.

Hey Josephus -
Nice to hear from you, but...
First, password1 is not my password, and never has been.
Second, my rig is so old it has a floppy drive and no web cam.
Third, having worked at the old Playboy Channel, I made friends and have access to much better stuff than any porn site, so why bother?
Fourth, if I had extra time, it'd be wasted at Pinterest.
Fifth, go ahead, post away.
Sixth, kindly go fuck yourself.
XOXOXO,

Marc's Guide to Curing Cancer
So far so good on beating cancer for now. I'm doing fine. At the end of the month I'll be 16 months into an 8 month mean lifespan. And yesterday I went on a 7 mile hike and managed to keep up with the hiking group I was with. So, doing something right.
Still waiting for future test results and should see things headed in the right direction. I can say that it's not likely that anything dire happens in the short term so that means that I should have time to make several more attempts at this. So even if it doesn't work the first time there are a lot of variations to try. So if there's bad news it will help me pick the next radiation target.
I have written a "how to" guide for oncologists to perform the treatment that I got. I'm convinced that I'm definitely onto something and whether it works for me or not isn't the definitive test. I know if other people tried this that it would work for some of them, and if they improve it that it will work for a lot of them.
The guide is quite detailed and any doctor reading this can understand the procedure at every level. I also go into detail as to how it works, how I figured it out, and variations and improvements that could be tried to enhance it. I also introduce new ways to look at the problem. There is a lot of room for improvement and I think that doctors reading it will see what I'm talking about and want to build on it. And it's written so that if you're not a doctor you can still follow it. It also has a personal story revealing that I'm the class clown of cancer support group. I give great interviews and I look pretty hot in a lab coat.
So, feel free to read this and see what I'm talking about. But if any of you want to help then pass this around to both doctors and cancer patients. I need some media coverage. I'm looking for as many eyeballs as possible to read these ideas. Even if this isn't the solution, it's definitely on the right track. After all, I did hike 7 miles yesterday. And this hiking group wasn't moving slow. So if this isn't working then, why am I still here?
I also see curing cancer as more of an engineering problem that a medical problem. So if you are good at solving problems and most of what you know about medicine was watching the Dr. House MD TV show, then you're at the level I was at when I started. So anyone can jump in and be part of the solution.

Explains What Really Happened
Jimmy Kimmel
Jimmy Kimmel Live returned from hiatus Monday night. One of the first things host Jimmy Kimmel did was address President-for-now Trump's (R-Crooked) recent claim about being a guest on the show.
During a rally for South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, Trump told a crowd of very fine people, "[Jimmy Kimmel] would stand outside on the sidewalk waiting for me. 'Oh, here he comes, Donald Trump.' He opens my door. I said, 'Does he do this to everybody?' His people said, 'He does it for nobody.'" Trump went on to say that Kimmel probably waited specifically for him because he had "potential."
Kimmel responded by saying, "It's weird to hear him tell a lie that specifically involves you. All of a sudden you're like, 'Wait, no, he's lying!'"
Kimmel decided to tell everyone "what really happened" when Trump was a guest on his show. Kimmel said, "Donald Trump showed up one night outside our show banging on the backstage door, it was 2007. He had a half-finished bucket of chicken under his arm, and he was screaming that he needed to use the bathroom, but unfortunately, there was someone in the bathroom." Kimmel went on to explain, "So Donald took a look around. He stuffed the remainder of the chicken in his jacket. He dropped his pants. He did his business in the bucket."
When he was done telling the story, Kimmel said, "That story is exactly as true as his was."

Hologram Tour
Roy Orbison
The estate-approved Roy Orbison hologram tour has announced its maiden journey across North America.
Following its debut shows this spring in Europe, In Dreams: Roy Orbison in Concert - The Hologram Tour will begin a 28-date run on October 1st at Oakland, California's Fox Theatre. Like those performances, the show will pair the Rock Hall singer with live orchestration and "newly recorded, never-before-heard, digitally remastered arrangements of his classics."
The In Dreams trek will hit theaters and performance arts center across the U.S. and Canada before concluding November 19th in Clearwater, Florida.
In addition to the touring production, the hologram will also have a residency at Branson, Missouri's Andy Williams Moon River Theatre - the first ever hologram residency - starting in 2019, with previews scheduled to begin later this year.
Alex Orbison, Roy's son and President of Roy Orbison Music, previously said of the hologram, "My father had a special transcendent vocal ability that made him something of an anomaly in the world of pop and rock, but that's what endeared him to his fans. For our family it was an amazing emotional experience to see this for the first time and we know audiences worldwide will have the same reaction." Tickets are available at the show's website.

Returning to 'Star Wars' Franchise
Billy Dee Williams
Billy Dee Williams will once again don his iconic cape to reprise his role as Lando Calrissian.
The man who originated the charismatic character nearly four decades ago is reportedly headed back to that far away galaxy for Star Wars: Episode IX, the upcoming installment in the blockbuster franchise.
Rumors began to swirl regarding his involvement when the 81-year-old actor backed out of an appearance at an upcoming sci-fi convention, explaining that the event conflicted with his scheduled involvement in the production of an upcoming film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Williams first portrayed the suave space raconteur in 1980's Star Wars: Episode V -- The Empire Strikes Back, and made his final on-screen appearance as Calrissian in 1983's Return of the Jedi.
He's also lent his iconic voice to the character in numerous animated film and TV projects, as well as several Star Wars video games.

Car Accident In Sardinia
George Clooney
George Clooney has been injured in a crash involving his scooter and a car in Sardinia.
His injuries are not serious but he was taken to the nearby John Paul II hospital's emergency room local newspaper La Nuova Sardegna, reported, adding that the 57-year-old was heading to a film set on Tuesday when his motorbike was hit by a car.
The incident is thought to have taken place at around 8am local time as he was leaving his hotel in Costa Corallina in the north of the island.
The actor is in Sardinia to film his latest TV series Catch 22 which sees him play US Air Force commander Scheisskopf in the World War II Channel 4 drama based on Joseph Heller's novel of the same name.
The upcoming six-part drama is set to air in 2019.

Says She Was 'Duped'
Palin
Sarah Palin says she was "duped" by Sacha Baron Cohen who was posing a disabled veteran for his upcoming Showtime series, "Who Is America?"
In a lengthy message on her Facebook page, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate wrote, "Yup - we were duped. Ya' got me, Sacha. Feel better now? I join a long list of American public personalities who have fallen victim to the evil, exploitive [sic], sick "humor" of the British "comedian" Sacha Baron Cohen, enabled and sponsored by CBS/Showtime."
Palin explained that she was sent a request for a "legit opportunity" to honor American Vets and contribute to a "legit Showtime historical documentary," and that she and her daughter traveled across the country to interview Baron Cohen, she guesses, who had "heavily disguised himself as a disabled US Veteran, fake wheelchair and all." She added she eventually realized it was a farce and walked off the interview.
Palin also accused the production team of purposely dropping them off at the wrong airport.
"Who Is America?" premieres Sunday at 10 p.m. on Showtime, so maybe we'll get to see what all the fuss is about then.

Fake News
Rupert
Fox News' Shannon Bream said the network had to move a planned live broadcast indoors after she and her crew felt threatened by demonstrators outside the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday following President Donald Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.
People shouted obscenities at Bream and her crew, crowded around and touched crew members as they prepared to air Fox's 11 p.m. Eastern hour from the location two hours after the nomination, she said.
Bream said Fox felt specifically targeted, although she said other reporters had a difficult time with the crowd. Disturbed by the scene, Fox executives made the decision to move to a nearby studio. Bream had been at the court for several hours, doing live reports during several programs.
The incident on an emotional political night exposed Fox News to a threatening atmosphere frequently faced by reporters at other news organizations at Trump rallies. CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta recently described how an elderly woman swore at him and tried to get him to leave one of Trump's recent rallies.

Original Map Sells At Auction
'Winnie-the-Pooh'
The original, hand-drawn map of the Hundred Acre Woods from "Winnie-the-Pooh" sold at auction for a record price of $571,000 (430,000 pounds) on Tuesday.
E.H. Shepard's drawing, at Sotheby's in London, sold for almost three times its estimate at presale -- setting the record price for a book illustration, the BBC reports.
The 1926 drawing, described by Sotheby's as "probably the most famous map in English literature," depicts the woodland world of AA Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh," Sky News reports.
It features Pooh, Christopher Robin and other beloved characters from the series, along with iconic stopping points in the Hundred Acre Wood, like the "Bee Tree" and "Eeyore's Gloomy Place."
The map also shows "Piglet's House" and the location of "Pooh's trap for Heffalumps."

Proposes $100 Million Aerial Tramway
Warner Bros
Warner Bros. proposed to Los Angeles city officials on Monday that it would fund a $100 million aerial tramway from its Burbank lot to the Hollywood sign in an effort to alleviate traffic and aid the sign's neighbors in their complaints.
An individual with knowledge of the proposal confirmed that the project will be titled the Hollywood Skyway and would take visitors from a parking structure near Warner Bros.' Burbank lot to the back of Mt. Lee to a new visitors center in six minutes.
It would be the solution for tourists to see the sign without driving, finding parking, and hiking through the residential neighborhoods, which annoyed residents living in the adjacent areas. It would also be an additional revenue stream for the studio. The project, if approved, would take five years to complete.
According to the Los Angeles Times, which first reported the news, similar solutions have been vetoed in the past due to concerns that it would lead to "commercial exploitation" of Griffith Park. An aerial tram idea had been floated in the past in an effort to raise revenue for the city, and Mayor Eric Garcetti in May 2017 suggested that a gondola from the Universal Studios area take visitors to the sign. According to The Times, Diane von Furstenberg's son Alex von Furstenberg, who is an investor and philanthropist, is leading another effort to build a gondola from another undetermined location.
The studio would share ticketing revenue with the city, the studio said in a letter sent to Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department general manager Michael Shull and chief legislative analyst Sharon Tso.

Ancient Tablet Discovered
The Odyssey
An ancient tablet engraved with 13 verses of the Odyssey has been unearthed in southern Greece in what is possibly the earliest-recorded trace of the epic poem, the culture ministry said Tuesday.
The clay slab is believed to date back to the third century, during the Roman era.
"If this date is confirmed, the tablet could be the oldest written record of Homer's work ever discovered" in Greece, a ministry statement said.
The extract, taken from book 14, describes the return of Ulysses to his home island of Ithaca.
First composed orally around the 8th century BC, the epic -- which is attributed to ancient Greek author Homer -- was later transcribed during the Christian era onto parchment of which only a few fragments have been discovered in Egypt.
