New Video: DJ Vadim Routine
Earlier this year DJ Vadim invited me to make a turntablist routine using one of the songs off his new LP, The Dubcatcher. I chose 'If Life Was A Thing featuring Demolition Man' and this is the result: a combination of a routine and a remix I produced. Vadim's tracks have been a big influence to me and played a big part in me getting into the alternative side of beats/hip hop, so being asked to put this together was a true pleasure! The video was shot, directed and edited by good friend Paul Phengsiri with assistance by Sami Al-Nashee.
New Mix: Rider Radio Guest Mix
Ahead of a recent DJ set I played in Paris, Mr Victor from the 2013/2014 World DMC Team Champions 9 O'Clock invited me to record a guestmix for his Rider Radio station in France. The mix features tracks by DBK, Flying Lotus, Fltchr Mnsn, Mr Carmack and many more!

Hi All,
I will be traveling to Europe for 21 days in August. I am a 20-something female celebrating my law school graduation / post-NYS bar exam. I will be traveling with my 20-something brother and 20-something female cousin. I have already for the most part figured out my itinerary. I have booked my flights and begun to reserve lodging through AirBNB and Hostels. However, there is a gap in my itinerary where we I am not sure where to go. I will explain:
-Landing in Amsterdam early August. Day trip to Haarlem. Stay for 3 nights.
-Leave for Brugges. Stay for 2 nights. Secured a hostel already.
-Leave for Ghent.
-Should we stay in Ghent? Or should we go on to Brussels?
-Where should we go after Ghent/Brussels?
I was considering staying 1 night in Ghent and then heading to Cologne for a night. From Cologne I thought we could either take a relatively cheap flight or a train to Austria.
After Bruges, we have *3 days* to meet my family in Innsbruck, Austria.
After meeting up with my family we will be heading to Innsbruck, Salzburg, and then Munich. We will then be flying out Munich late August.
I have never been to Europe, but fully intend to come back to travel in the UK, France, and Italy. So please no recommendations for these countries. I am trying to see as many countries as possible, but at the same time, I do not want to be in the train station or airport for much of our days.
Backpacking through Europe and need some advice

Yes to staying in Ghent, no don't bother to go to Brussels, full of over paid politicians and expensive restaurants, while Ghent is interesting.
Cologne is ok, small beers but tidy little centre. You might prefer Koblenz (or say a river town like Rudesheim), or Ulm each of which is far prettier than Cologne.
Report Abuse
It's also quite easy to stop briefly in Cologne to see the Cathedral and then continue on your way if you are using the trains. There is a left luggage at the station, or at least there was a couple years ago.

I don't see Paris in your plans. Do The City, despite your entreaty, and don't bother with Brussels. I don't know about Ghent. I'm a 70s something and have loved Paris for decades. I would stay a couple nights in Düsseldorf if you can include a Saturday night. The Altstadt is a kick, especially for you young ones. Take an afternoon to see the Dom in Köln.
Forget the backpacks. That's old camp. Get a 21" roller bag to take the load off your back. Whatever doesn't fit in a 21" bag and shoulder bag stays home.
Just a short tram ride east from Innsbruck is a charming ancient village named Hall-in-Tyrol. My maternal grand parents came from there.
Report Abuse
Agree with Spaarne. After Ghent, go straight to PARIS. I realize you said no to France this trip, but IMO, you will never get enough of Paris. And August is "low season" in Paris. I suspect you can catch a flight from Paris to Innsbruck just as easily as Cologne to Innsbruck. And you could catch a night train from Paris to Munich and transfer to a direct train to Innsbruck if you decide to go by train.
The other option is to follow TexasAggie's advice and stop in Cologne a few hours to see the cathedral , then follow bilboburgler's advice to stop at one of the towns on the Mosel (Cochem) or Rhine (Koblenz, Rudesheim, Boppard, etc.)for a few days.
Good luck on the bar exam...Have a good time on the trip!
Report Abuse
There is an old movie comedy called If This Is Tuesday It Must Be Belgium. Your itinerary could be the script, moving every second day, packing and unpacking incessantly, "seeing" a landmark or two but not spending the time to get any feel or understanding of anywhere (except maybe where your relatives are located.) Travel less; enjoy more.

Whiting Woods Rd.
had not seen this hawk in awhile; it was patient with me for awhile taking pictures
This hawk has been around our neighborhood for the last 2 years. There is a nest in our neighbors tree and 2 little ones were born last year.
Brief description of what you observed
The Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico. Red-shouldered Hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.

Florida man missing after sinkhole collapses part of home
Updated On: Mar 01 2013 07:58:02 AM PST
A Florida man has not been heard from since a sinkhole collapsed part of his home overnight near Tampa.
The sinkhole opened up underneath a home in Brandon. A man in his 30s was sleeping in his bedroom when the hole swallowed part of the structure.
The man is presumed dead, according to officials. Rescuers will likely launch a recovery mission when officials deem it safe enough to do so.
Authorities said the man's brother tried to pull him from the rubble. A Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputy then joined in, but both attempts were unsuccessful.
Deputies said three other adults and a 2-year-old child were in the home when the collapse began. They were able to safely escape.
The sinkhole quickly grew to about 100 feet wide and 50 feet deep behind the home, according to officials. Several nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution.
Engineers condemned the home and said it was unsafe for rescuers to conduct any type of search. The house was last inspected in August and showed no signs of trouble, according to investigators at the scene.
The engineering firm was able to drop cameras and audio equipment into the hole, but so far, no contact was made with the man inside.

With US Secretary of State John Kerry pushing forward with efforts to present a document that will form the basis of further Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made clear there is "no room to maneuver" on the Palestinian claim of a right of return for Palestinian refugees."It is a nonstarter, it is not going to happen," one official said.The refugee issue, as well as borders, security, Jerusalem and recognition of Israel as a Jewish state are issues expected to be addressed in broad strokes in the US document.But as the US prepares to unveil this document, both Israelis and Palestinians have issued statements, which show a wide gap between them when it comes to their redlines.The PLO said Wednesday that the peace process with Israel was not serious and called for international involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.Yasser Abed Rabbo, PLO secretary- general, said after a meeting of PLO leaders in Ramallah that the peace talks have reached an impasse because of Israel.The PLO official accused Netanyahu of "deception and fraud" and reiterated the Palestinians' refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.Another PLO official, Tayseer Khaled, told reporters that the demand to recognize Israel as a Jewish state was "dangerous." He explained that such recognition would harm the issue of the refugees and their "right of return."Israel, he charged, does not recognize the refugees' right to return to their former homes."On the contrary, Israel is exonerating itself of this crime and making it the responsibility of the international community," Khaled said.On Saturday night Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said there would be no peace deal with Israel unless the Palestinian refugees can choose for themselves if they want to "return."He said the Palestinians will not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, and that the capital of a future Palestinian sate must be in east Jerusalem.According to government officials, Netanyahu has said the Palestinian demand of a "so-called right of return" is "not right, not justified, and not legitimate."Netanyahu has said in meetings that an expectation that Israel has to deal with Arab refugees that were created by the war in 1948 that the Arabs started against Israel was preposterous, according to government officials.If Palestinians want to return to a Palestinian state, they can go there, Netanyahu said.One official, referring to Abbas's speech on Saturday, said this was a reiteration of a "whole series of maximalist claims that everyone understands will make a negotiated peace impossible.""You will never get an end to the conflict with endless claims," he said.But the Palestinians have said that peace can only be attained if their claims are met.Abed Rabbo accused Israel of "land theft." He said that Israel's goal from the negotiations is to grab more land.Israel's demand to retain control over the border crossings with Jordan was one of the reasons for the current crisis in the talks, Abed Rabbo said, adding that "the occupation authorities also want to keep settlement blocs that are expanding everyday, in addition to Jerusalem."He pointed out that Israel was seeking control over West Bank hilltops and airspace."Which Palestinian state are the Israelis talking about?" he asked."Which two-state solution? What's the point in extending the talks beyond nine months?" He said that the Palestinians were opposed to any extension of the talks.The past six months have not witnessed any progress, he added."Three months or three years can't solve this issue," he said.Khaled criticized talk about the framework agreement that Kerry is planning to present to Israel and the Palestinians.He said that such an agreement would be unclear and nonconstructive and give Israel what it wants while granting the Palestinians mere promises.An Israeli official said that Israel remains committed to achieving an agreement for a two-state solution and hopes the Palestinians start getting serious about negotiations.The only way this will happen is through negotiations with Israel, the official said.Tovah Lazaroff contributed to this report.

Evolution in the Holy Land
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
Does the human race all descend from two individuals? Genomic science says no, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Adam and Eve were still historic persons.
The one thing on which the entire Genesis debate hinges is whether we acknowledge the role played by hermeneutics.
From 2012: The entire BioLogos community would like to thank Dr. Keathley not only for his work in writing his introductory essay, but for his willingness to organize a small collection of essays by other Southern Baptist scholars describing their concerns about the BioLogos perspective. We welcome this opportunity to clarify our positions and remove stumbling blocks where possible.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
BioLogos president Deb Haarsma responds to Ken Ham's recent comments about Hugh Ross, and pleads for a more gracious conversation between Christians on issues of faith and science.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
"We should be slow to accuse another of discarding the authority of Scripture, and therefore denouncing them, just because they interpret Scripture differently than we do."
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.

Suffolk District Attorney protests judge's ruling
Updated On: Jul 22 2014 01:49:49 PM EDT
The Suffolk district attorney is asking the state's highest court to step in after a district court judge cleared a woman of assault without hearing any evidence and without a prosecutor in the courtroom.
View: Strange Massachusetts laws
Chelsea District Court Judge Benjamin Barnes declared the woman not guilty on June 25. She had been charged with beating up her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend.
The hearing had been delayed because the defense attorney was running late and then because he did not have the right file. Meanwhile, the prosecutor had gone to another courtroom, according to The Boston Globe.
The judge ruled before she could return.
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley asked the Supreme Judicial Court to undo Barnes' ruling, saying there can be no trial when one side is not in the room.
"Any judge should know that a trial cannot and has not been conducted when the prosecutor is not present and does not call a witness," Conley's office wrote in its appeal. "The fact that a trial involves adverse parties and witnesses is common knowledge among all competent members of our society."
Judges are not allowed to comment on pending cases.
Peter Elikann, a criminal defense lawyer and Massachusetts Bar Association spokesman, said has never seen a judge find a defendant guilty or not guilty without both sides being present.
"I've been a lawyer for 33 years, and I never heard of anything like that," he said.

Take a deep breath and pick up a box of light- or
junior-sized tampons, babe. Trust me, they really aren't the stuff of
nightmares. When you open up a new box, you'll see a little pamphlet that tells
you how to insert them. Read through it and get comfy in the bathroom—inserting
your first few tampons can be a little tricky. For a quick how-to, CLICK HERE.
Some girls are worried about something called Toxic Shock
Syndrome, or TSS. While TSS is a
dangerous condition that is caused by a build up of toxins in the body, which
can happen if you leave a tampon in longer than the recommended 8 or so hours.
However, it's contracted more frequently by people with skin infections, burns
or those who are recovery from surgery. Symptoms include confusion, diarrhea,
headaches, muscle aches and nausea. Read more about TSS HERE.
Other chicas have heard some tall tampon tales that are
totally not true, like that using tampons means you aren't a virgin anymore. Another
myth? Tampons can get lost in there. Impossible! Your vagina is a one-way
street, babe. If you know you put a tampon in but the string is MIA or tore off
the body of the tampon, you might have to get a little messy and pull it out
with your fingers, but trust us, it's up there.
Still a little freaked? Relax! Stressing yourself out over
this will actually make it harder to insert the tampon. Pick an afternoon when
you have as much time as you need to hog the bathroom so you don't feel rushed.
And if you're finding it tough to get the sucker in, grab a jar of Vaseline,
smear a little bit on the applicator and try, try again.

John Lichfield has been The Independent's man in Paris since 1997, covering French news. Before that, he was the paper's Foreign Editor and he has also worked in Brussels and Washington.
Tuesday 18 December 2012
An uneasy peace has broken out in the month-old conflict which threatened to tear apart the main French opposition party.
Jean-Francois Copé, the apparent winner of an allegedly fraudulent leadership election in November has agreed to a new poll next September to decide who should succeed Nicolas Sarkozy as the long-term President of the centre-right Union Pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP).
In return, his rival, the former Prime Minister François Fillon, has agreed to dissolve his breakaway parliamentary group – the Rassemblement UMP or RUMP – and abandon a legal action against his own party.
Both sides claimed victory yesterday but the terms accepted by Mr Cope amount to an admission that his apparent victory by a handful of vote last month was, at the least, dubious. The new election will be organised by a neutral "high authority". If he wishes to run again, Mr Cope, 48, will have to stand down as UMP president.
Party resources will be equally available to all candidates. In the meantime, two of Mr Fillon's closest allies will be given senior posts in the UMP hierarchy.
The deal, brokered by the former prime minister, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, has avoided, for now, a schism within France's largest political party. It leaves, however, a legacy of fraternal hatred, based partly on ideology and partly on personal ambition, which could explode once again next year.
Mr Fillon, 58, had accused Mr Copé's team of organising "fraud on an industrial scale" to snatch the party leadership and de facto pole position for the centre-right "nomination" for the 2017 presidential election. Tens of thousands of proxy ballots were cast for Mr Cope, who organised the election as party secretary-general. Votes from overseas were "forgotten".
Mr Copé, a one-time moderate who ran a populist, hard right campaign, accused Mr Fillon of being a "bad loser" and anti-democratic.
Other candidates could now enter the race next summer, including, conceivably, former President Nicolas Sarkozy. Mr Fillon may stand aside and concentrate his energies and his long-term Presidential hopes on the mayoral election in Paris in 2014.
National support for both men has been reduced by the internal, party name-calling in the last month but Mr Copé's ratings have fallen more steeply than those of Mr Fillon. By taking his party to the brink of destruction, the former prime minister lost his reputation as a calm and consensual politician. He also demonstrated fighting qualities that even his supporters had not previously detected.

The Fixer: City keeps hitting the brakes on requests for stop signs
An Etobicoke resident thinks stop signs will slow down traffic on his street, but the city says that's not what they're meant for.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Lou Venturino knows you can't fight city hall, but he won't stop trying until the drivers on his street slow down.
For six years, Venturino has tried to persuade the city to install stop signs at an intersection near his home on Hartsdale Dr., near Islington Ave. and The Westway, as a way to reduce traffic speed.
He has met with a wall of resistance from transportation services officials, who have consistently ruled it out, saying that's simply not what stop signs are meant for.
Venturino sent us an email outlining his struggle to slow down vehicles on Hartsdale, which he says is used as a shortcut between Eglinton Ave. and The Westway.
After considerable effort, he and others were able to get the speed limit on Hartsdale reduced from 50 to 40 km/h, but drivers continued to fire along at higher speeds, he said.
They couldn't get speed humps, but it occurred to them that stop signs at the point where Holgate St. meets Hartsdale at a 'T' intersection would force drivers to slow down, said Venturino.
There's a stop sign for drivers on Holgate when they get to Hartsdale, but traffic on Hartsdale is allowed to proceed through the intersection without stopping.
Kids often cross from the east side of Hartsdale to the west side, near Holgate, on their way to a park, but "cars whip around the bend on Hartsdale, often skidding to miss a pedestrian or child crossing.
"A stop sign would slow traffic down and also help pedestrians, most of which are kids."
Venturino first asked for them in 2006, which he says resulted in a local traffic survey, the results of which were used to deny his request.
He says a city traffic supervisor told him "that having an all-way stop at this corner just aggravates drivers and will encourage them to just drive through the stop sign.
"His main reply is that there isn't sufficient data to support having a stop sign there, and that a stop sign is not a deterrent for speeding."
We asked Steve Johnston, who deals with media for transportation services, if traffic operations would reconsider putting in stop signs at Hartsdale.
He checked it out and says that two traffic surveys, in 2007 and 2011, both concluded there isn't enough traffic on Hartsdale to require stop signs on all three corners.
Johnston added that traffic operations staff is willing to conduct another traffic survey in a year or two, to see if it has increased enough to warrant stop signs on Hartsdale, but the decision stands until then.
It's hard for us to argue with the city's reasons for resisting the call for stop signs, but not for Venturino.

Sony Corp. has decided not to launch sales of its home entertainment robot "SDR-4X" for now, a senior company engineer said on Thursday.
Rather, the company will just use it as Sony's "ambassador," Masahiro Fujita, senior manager and principal scientist at Sony's Intelligent Dynamics Laboratory said at a briefing for foreign press. "Our top management decided to use SDR as a branding strategy" for the time being, he said.
A year ago Sony unveiled the prototype of the home-use humanoid robot and said it hoped to announce the commercial launch of the robot in 2002.
Fujita said Sony has been discussing how to sell SDR, but decided "it's too early" to start sales.
It remains unclear what kind of price is suitable for the product, or what kind of performance customers really want from it, he said. Last year, Sony said the robot would be priced at a comparable level to a luxury car. (Dow Jones)

Ritchies Auctioneers will pay royalty to artists, a first in Canada
Ritchies' plan marks a first-ever for the country, following a failed effort last year by the artists' union to have such payments passed into federal law.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ritchies Auctioneers has announced that it will start paying royalties to artists on works sold at its auctions, beginning with its new contemporary art auction May 29.
The voluntary royalty payment, which will be a percentage of the sale price paid directly to the artist or the artist's estate, is the first of its kind in Canada. Despite auction royalty payments in place in as many as 70 countries worldwide, no auction in Canada pays royalties to artists.
Last May, Canadian Artists' Representation (CARFAC), the national artists' union, lobbied Canadian Heritage to pass such payments into law. The effort did not succeed.
"We want to protect artists, and we want to protect our culture," said Gordon Gothreau, who oversees the Ritchie's contemporary art department. "This is a way to do that, and still do business."
The percentage of the royalty is yet to be determined, he said. CARFAC had hoped to see legislation that pegged it at five percent of the total sale, as in the United Kingdom.
The Ritchies' auction, which is called "Project Contemporalis," is only the second recurring contemporary art auction established in Canada. The first, "Concrete Contemporary," begun by Waddington's Auction House in Toronto last spring, held its second instalment earlier this year. It more than doubled its sales over its first, in May 2012.
Royalties at the Ritchies auction will be paid to living artists, where applicable, or if deceased, to their estates. Gothreau said the royalty rule will be implemented in all Ritchies' auctions — not just contemporary — over the next 12 months.
Stephen Ranger, Waddington's vice president of business development, was critical of Ritchies' move to pay royalties. "We have been looking at the issue very closely for some time," he said, adding that Ritchies "(hasn't) really addressed any of the important issues around implementation, criteria, or even the amount they have pledged" to pay.
Ranger suggests Ritchies has "chosen to use (the royalty) as a marketing tool to enter the contemporary market," while Waddington's has already been "giving back" in "tangible ways" that include an acquisition fund for institutions tied to the Concrete auction, as well as many charitable auctions.
The Canadian auction industry has long resisted such payments, citing a less robust market than in large centres such as the United States and Britain. Gothreau says it's a baseless argument. "There are so many artists that make nothing from what they're doing," he says. "If we can prevent any of them, even in a small way, from living in poverty, that's a success."
A 2009 study from York University found that artists in Canada average about $20,000 in annual income, well below the national average.
Gothreau hopes that the voluntary payment will pressure others to follow suit. "Several other houses have called us asking, 'What are you doing?'" he said. "But we firmly believe that by bringing something to us, or buying something from us, you can literally, directly help an artist," he says.
Ritchies absorbs the cost of the royalty, whatever it may be.
"The buyer doesn't pay any more, the seller's not losing money. We are," he says. "And that's OK."

Google Satellite Internet coming soon
Kind of a sparse article from Engadget, but exciting nonetheless:
Google's plans for satellite-based internet access just got a little more concrete. The Wall Street Journal hears that the search firm is preparing to build 180 "small, high capacity" satellites (not pictured here) that will go into low orbit and provide internet connections to underserved areas. While details aren't forthcoming about the machines, there may be more on the way; reportedly, the company could "double" its vehicle count if all goes well. A spokeswoman didn't confirm or deny the efforts, but did note that having an internet link "significantly improves people's lives."
