Muzik 4 machines is a band from Montreal, Canada, which produces electronic music with a grunge twist.
The band was formed in 1996 by TBA03 and was particularly active from 1999 to 2002. From 2002 to 2005, Tb concentrated on some solo works and third-party productions. As of late 2005, the band officially decided to get back together and prepare some new material. Due to location, time and money restrictions, the new album was postponed until summer 2007. It's now official, an album is due around fall 2007.
Biography
The band started as a 1 man project, equipped with a Portastudio, a guitar and a tr-707 drum machine, early compositions were a mix between early house and grunge music, mixing the 4 on the floor rhythm with loud fuzz guitar. As the technology evolved, so did the Project; recruiting performers and signers and buying, finding or building new gadgets and sound mangling devices. Computers were a revolution in the course of things, starting with trackers, evolving towards MIDI sequencers and then full blown audio sequencing.
The Music also evolved from simple riffs over a steady beat to more complex and mysterious texture in some works and at the same time exploded into full blown (at the time) modern Rave party music in others. The band got some good chart hits and even sold CDs worldwide on the then underground music website that since closed.
Over the years, different styles were explored as the personel changed(house music, techno, drum and bass, rock music, noise rock, pop music, trance music, urban music and some unclassifiable sounds).
Performers including Luke, Mister W, YUL, DP participated to different Live events and secial recordings (all available online)
In late 2005, after 3 years busy on other projects Production started back in a make shift home studio to produce some tracks and find performers to play them, process which lead to delay after delay in the production of a new album

The navigational deflector, or deflector dish, is a theoretical device to allow faster-than-light travel in space.
The purpose of a navigational deflector is to prevent damage to ships' hulls from micrometeoroids and friction from microscopic objects, space debris, and gases found in interstellar space, while moving at faster-than-light speeds. Deflectors could accomplish the first goal through the use of powerful deflector/tractor beams extending several thousand kilometers fore of their ships, aimed automatically through use of the ships' long-range sensors. The deflection of smaller objects and stray atoms would be done by largely static low-power deflector shields generated by the deflector.
This concept of deflectors has sufficiently entered the common vernacular to, for example, have flower cultivars named after them.
Star Trek implementation specifics
The version popularized by the Star Trek fictional universe is found on many Starfleet ships capable of warp travel, generally noticeable by its foremost location on many ships' engineering hulls and its soft blue glow.
The beams and shields created by the deflector are often a source of subspace distortion and electromagnetic radiation, which can interfere with the operation of ships' sensors. Due to this, long-range sensor arrays are often placed circularly around navigational deflectors. This allows the sensors to look along the same axes of the beams and shields to reduce interference and also, because of their proximity to the deflector, allows for the speedy receipt of data from them by the computer in control of the device.
In combat, the navigational deflector forms the first layer of a starship's static defenses. It is almost useless against high-powered beam and missile weapons, but quite potent at blunting the assault of light and medium-powered weapons such as lasers.
The hardware used in navigational deflectors can be quickly reconfigured to produce a variety of particle streams and energy emissions, making them a sort of 'Swiss army knife' for Starfleet vessels (and a convenient deus ex machina for script writers). Such uses can be seen in Star Trek: First Contact, where it was used to travel into the past and, later, reconfigured into an interplexing beacon, a long-range communication device; in "The Best of Both Worlds" (TNG), as a weapon against a Borg cube ship; in "Scorpion", Pt. 2 (), for travel between alternate universes; and, during the Klingon Civil War, for detecting cloaked Romulan ships.
Navigational deflectors are not seen on a few Starfleet craft, such as the Miranda, Soyuz, and Constellation classes. These classes perform the same functions by use of bow-mounted tractor emitters and low-power use of the deflector grid. Many alien ships also do not have deflector dishes and presumably operate similarly.
In real life, similar technology would be needed to construct a Bussard ramjet, a promising means to achieve near-lightspeed travel. As well as protecting the ship from high-speed particles, it would funnel them into a reaction chamber to generate thrust.
The Star Trek Starship Creator PC game has the Miranda class deflector dish sitting atop of the torpedo launcher, although the device itself has never actually been seen in that location.
Other fictional works
In the short online story Journey to Centauri, which provides background to the game Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, the starship "Unity" has no navigational deflector, and due to a chance collision with a small space object, probably about the size of a fist, at near-lightspeed, the ship is badly damaged. Ostensibly, a functioning (not to mention present) deflector array could have prevented this fiasco.

Vineyard Vines is a clothing company based in Stamford, Connecticut. The company was formed in 1998 by two brothers on Martha's Vineyard, Shep and Ian Murray, who left corporate jobs in New York City to make ties so they would not have to wear ties themselves. Vineyard Vines designs and markets a lifestyle clothing brand with styles for men, women, and children. Their signature whale logo and small, illustrative patterns of fish, sailboats, summer scenes, and dozens of others associated with "The Good Life", adorn their ties, shorts, tennis shirts, belts and flip-flops. Vineyard Vines also designs and creates a large number of ties, bags, and other products for corporations, schools, and organizations throughout the United States through their custom orders department. Although the company is headquartered in Connecticut and maintains a mail-order , Vineyard Vines also has retail stores on Martha's Vineyard, in Nantucket and Mashpee, Massachusetts, and in Greenwich, Connecticut. Vineyard Vines was ranked 217th in Inc. magazine's list of the 500 fastest-growing private companies in 2006, with 3-year sales growth at 569.4%.
Products
Vineyard Vines' main concentration is a lifestyle clothing line featuring semi-formal clothes for men, women, and children.

Ende International Airport is a new international airport in Ende , replacing the old H. Hasan Aroeboesman Airport. It is located 45 km from the city centre. Now it's known as the busiest airport on the far east of Indonesia. The domestic terminal is equipped with 4 airbridges and a large apron. There are 2 international terminals. Each terminal has 4 airbridges. The third international terminal will be opened in early 2008 for another international flights. And there are 2 runways on the airport. And a large carpark building has been added in front of the both terminal buildings.
