Allow myself to introduce...eh...mys elf. I'm a pretty energetic and active guy, and I love making other people laugh (or at least trying). I have a pretty busy schedule, but usually stay balanced between work, running/working out, and going out with friends, etc. I'm a huge sports fan (soccer, basketball, football, baseball) so I'm always happy watching a game, esp. when my teams are playing--UMD Terps, Baltimore Ravens, or Baltimore Orioles and I'm a huge NBA fan as well. I spent most of my life in Baltimore (med school and residency at Hopkins) but I'm down in Birmingham, AL, now for fellowship training at Children's of Alabama...And I'll be moving again to Columbus, OH, soon to join Nationwide Children's Hospital and Ohio State Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery.

INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 ISLAMIC THEOLOGY……………………………………………………………………… 2 IS THE KORAN THE WORD OF GOD…………………………………………………….. 3 QUESTIONS FOR MUSLIMS………………………………………………………………. 4 What can Muslims do to have eternal life in Christ…………………………………... 5
The following essay has been prepared in order to illuminate the understanding of many that have questions regarding the facts on Islam and its persuasive strategies to indoctrinate nations and people. Islam is a world religion founded by an Arabic visionary named Muhammad who was born in the city of Mecca. The teachings of Islam have touched the broad spectrum of this planet. When we examine the religions of this decade, one would have to agree that Islam is the second- largest religion in the world today. Many will argue and say that Islam is possibly the largest religion prevalent today. Of course, there are those that would agree and there are those that would disagree according to the growth of this religion. According to the prophecies that are written in the word of God, we know that the word of God will cover the world as the sea. As apologist, it is an opportunity to dialogue and it is an invitation to present the truth in light of the mythical teachings that have seduced billions for decades. The modern thought of today's apologist is to provide an understanding in order to create an authoritative position, which dispels the untruths that many in this faith have followed for decades.
The core philosophy of Islam teaches that the true God of this religion is Allah, and that the religious beliefs and practices of...

From making the perfect pavlova to roasting a chicken, Australia's favourite food editors show you how to master those tricky techniques.
Make a sponge cake
Follow these steps to make sponge cake so light, your grandma would be proud.
In this month's issue
A basic sponge cake is easy to make and so adaptable. Just by changing the filling you can create a variety of different cakes. Just follow these steps to make a light as a feather sponge cake your grandma would be proud of.
Step 1
First grease the base and sides of two 20 centimetre round cake pans, then line each base with a disc of non-stick baking paper.
Step 2
Combine one third of a cup of corn flour, a third of a cup of plain flour and a third of a cup of self-raising flour and sift onto a large piece of baking paper. Repeat two more times. This sifting process is to aerate the flour, creating a lighter sponge cake.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer to whisk four eggs and two thirds of a cup of caster sugar together in a large bowl for 10 minutes or until the egg mixture is thick and pale and has tripled in volume. You can also whisk the eggs and sugar over a bowl of simmering water. This helps to aerate the mixture.
Step 4
Sift the flour over the egg mixture, while gently folding through with a balloon whisk to distribute the flour as quickly as possible, while keeping the air in the eggs.
Step 5
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pans. To smooth the surface, gently lift the tin and swirl the tin slowly. Don't use the back of a spoon or knife to smooth, as this will deflate your mixture.
Step 6
Bake in a 180 degree oven for 20 minutes. When the cakes are ready, they will have shrunk away from the sides slightly and will spring back when gently touched.
Step 7
Turn cakes out onto a wire rack lined with baking paper. Fill with strawberrys and cream, or any of your favourite fillings.

Reggie Jackson went high in the air and hauled in a defensive rebound with 37 seconds remaining in the opening quarter Tuesday at Miami. When he landed, he quickly surveyed the court.
Oklahoma City Thunder turns to new and improved Reggie Jackson
To his right was Russell Westbrook. Taking off in front of him was Kevin Martin.
Jackson had a decision to make: pass it to one of his go-to scoring options, or initiate the offense himself. Without hesitation, he settled on the latter, scooting up court with five dribbles before tossing up a floater while getting fouled on the play.
Only four seconds elapsed off the game clock, preserving a pivotal two-for-one scoring opportunity for the Thunder.
"Last year, I definitely didn't have the confidence to do that," Jackson said.
Meet the new and improved Reggie Jackson.
The Thunder's reserve point guard has become more comfortable and confident in his second season and is now looking to show off his skills as the newly-named backup to Westbrook. After giving a recovering Eric Maynor 25 games to find his rhythm following last year's knee injury, Thunder coach Scott Brooks handed Jackson the keys to the second unit three games ago.
It's his show now, and the Thunder is hoping that in his second season Jackson has matured and moved past much of his erratic play from a season ago.
"I was trying to find myself last year," Jackson said. "I wasn't who I am accustomed to being."
There are reasons to believe this year could be different for Jackson, starting with the natural progression players make in their sophomore seasons. Already, Jackson has shown growth as a shooter, ball-handler and decision-maker.
But Jackson is benefiting from a long list of experiences that a lockout-shortened season robbed him of as a rookie.
He didn't play summer league last year. He didn't have a full training camp. He didn't have many practices during a compacted schedule. He didn't have health on his side.
Coming into this year?
He had summer league. He had training camp. He had practice time. He's had health.

Reid Johnson (Mequon, Wis.) and Pablo Delgado (Madrid, Spain) helped the UW mens soccer team notch a 2-0 win over Northwestern, and remain undefeated in the Big Ten, by each scoring their first goals of the season on Sunday at McClimon Soccer Complex.
After a scoreless first half, Wisconsin (6-3-2, 2-0-1) was able to get on the scoreboard in the 54th minute. Andy Miller (Barrington, Ill.) passed the ball from midfield to William Bagayoko (Baton Rouge, La.). Bagayoko received the ball on the right side of the field, and passed it cross field to Johnson. Johnson then used a soft touch to loft the ball over the goalkeeper and into the right corner of the Wildcats (8-3-0, 1-2-0) goal.
The Badgers struck again in the 72nd minute. Brandon Miller (Vadnais Heights, Minn) cleared the ball from UWs defensive half. Victor Diaz (Madrid, Spain) received the ball at midfield and played it to Pablo Delgado. Delgado took care of it from there, dribbling past a defender and booting a low, line-drive kick into the lower left side of the net.
Goalkeeper Jake Settle (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) came up with his usual solid performance, saving two shots, and getting his third straight shutout.
The Badgers are currently in the midst of a 346:39 shutout streak, all with Settle in net. They also had a 325:44 shutout streak earlier in the season, with Settle accounting for the vast majority of time at goalkeeper.
Wisconsin is undefeated through their initial three conference games for the first time since 1996.
They also boast a five-game overall unbeaten streak, their first such streak since 2001, when they opened the season 5-0-0.
The UW win, the result of a great overall team game, was highlighted by several notable individual performances.
As great as it was for Reid Johnson to come up with his first goal of the season, he very easily could have had two more.
In the seventh minute, Johnson received the ball with his back to the goal. He turned around and immediately shot the ball, and it sailed just left of the net.
Johnson had another chance in the 59th minute, when he split two defenders and shot the ball, hitting the outside left pole of the goal.
Kenny Dix (Atlanta, Ga.) played a great game as well. Dix was in the middle of the action for much of the game, and he set up his teammates with great scoring opportunities on several occasions.
Senior Co-Captain Hamid Afsari (Whitefish Bay, Wis.) came up with one of Wisconsins biggest plays in the game.
In the 68th minute, with the Badgers up just 1-0, the Wildcats had the ball in UWs goalie box. Settle came out of the net to challenge the ball, but Northwestern was able to quickly pass the ball off to the opposite end. Geoff Fallon of the Wildcats shot the ball on an open net, but Afsari arrived just in the nick of time, sliding to his right to make a great block.
Wisconsin will now shift its focus to its Wednesday (Oct. 4) home contest against Western Illinois. The game will start at 6 p.m. at McClimon Soccer Complex.

Campus celebrates DeFleur's tenure
By : Eric Coker
On an afternoon in which faculty, staff and students paid tribute to retiring President Lois B. DeFleur, the guest of honor graciously returned the favor.
"Many people have said to me, 'Thank you' or 'Thank you for all you've done,'" she said. "I'm the one who should be thanking all of you. It is because of you and your commitment and belief in Binghamton that together we have achieved so much in these last years."
Members of the campus community gathered at the Mandela Room on May 6 for a reception honoring DeFleur's 20-year tenure as University president. DeFleur, who will depart in July, greeted well-wishers individually in a receiving line.
The reception also featured performances by the a capella group The Binghamton Crosbys, a cake from Sodexo and speeches from Mary Ann Swain, provost and vice president of academic affairs; Richard Lee, Faculty Senate Executive Committee chair; Bonnie Jenson, Professional Employees Council chair; and Adam Amit, Student Association president.
Swain used DeFleur's flying experience as a metaphor for her leadership at the University.
"Binghamton University is the plane and when the president — the pilot — arrived, she chartered a course to land in a new location in higher education," Swain said. "Many of you have been on this plane with her for awhile and know the flight path has not been an easy one. But our pilot is courageous and skillful. When we encountered turbulence, she didn't bail out, nor did she set down at the nearest safe airport. Sometimes she wrestled that yoke and flew through the storm. Sometimes she modified the flight plan.
"Her vision for Binghamton — pre-eminence in our institution's research and outreach endeavors — continues to expand in front of us," she said. "Our pilot has enabled this plane and crew to put many, many miles between where we were 20 years ago and where we are today. We remain on course despite our many challenges."
DeFleur pointed out that the University's growth and development over the past 20 years include more students, faculty and staff; new research centers and outreach programs; and new facilities.
She also praised a student body that features top students from New York state, the United States and all around the world, before mentioning the accolades for groups such as the debate team, accounting team, tennis team and computer science teams that last year won a national Federal Aviation Administration competition.
"I believe our students are our best ambassadors," she said. "Working with them has had a huge impact on my life. I've learned a lot."
DeFleur lauded the faculty and its leadership, thanking Lee for his longtime advice and support.
"It is because of the faculty — their teaching, research and outreach — that we continued to be recognized for excellence."
DeFleur then thanked the University's staff members: "They make Binghamton shine on a daily basis."
She saved her final tribute for the vice presidents, deans, directors and her office staff.
"I know I can be a pretty tough taskmaster at times," she said. "I have high standards for myself and all of you. Every day over the years, they showed up. They were there to make things happen and did it with enthusiasm and creativity. A special thank you to all of you because when the going got tough, you were there to say to me, 'You're not going to let them do that to Binghamton.' … They have kept me going."
Vice presidents Brian Rose, Gerald Sonnenfeld and James Van Voorst joined Swain in presenting DeFleur with a Binghamton University chair.
"You probably don't need another piece of furniture to move to Colorado, but you can't leave Binghamton without a Binghamton chair," Swain said. "We hope you will find a place near a window where you can look at the open skies you love so much."
DeFleur concluded by insisting that the day was a "celebration of Binghamton's future" and that future is bright.
"While this may be a time of change and transition, Binghamton will continue to shine.
"This will be difficult for me personally because of all of the wonderful relationships and friendships I've had in the years here," she said, her voice starting to break with emotion. "Binghamton will always be near and dear to me."

It takes a comprehensive approach that includes: increased sampling by mine operators; use of new technology for real-time sampling results; immediate corrective action when excessive dust levels are found; determination of noncompliance based on a single MSHA sample; and reduced dust standards. The rule takes effect August 1, 2014, with some components phased in over the following two years. Proposed in 2010, the rule builds on years of research and was developed with the input of industry, labor, and health professionals. It is the centerpiece of the agency's campaign to End Black Lung, launched in 2009.

2008 Greater Phoenix RussMatt Invitational
Sunday, March 16, 2008
Snedigar Field, Chandler, Ariz.
CHANDLER, Ariz.-- Senior Greg DiMarco (Newton, Mass.) and sophomore Mark Annese (Winchester, Mass.) each rapped out three hits as Suffolk extended its winning streak to three straight with a 9-4 non-league college baseball victory over Montclair State as play continued at the 2008 Greater Phoenix RussMatt Invitational Sunday afternoon at Snedigar Field.
Senior Nick Martinho (Middleton, Mass.) and sophomore Mike Kenneally (Georgetown, Mass.) each belted home runs in the triumph for the Rams (3-1), who received a pair of RBI each off the bats of Kenneally and fellow sophomore Jose Alejandro (Lowell, Mass.).
Junior Reid Jackson (Burlington, Mass.) picked up the win on the mound in his first start of the season for Suffolk, while senior Mike Carbone (East Meadow, N.Y.) came on to record his first save of the spring out of the Ram bullpen.
Suffolk continues its Spring Break swing through the Southwest on Monday afternoon when the Rams take on Western New England at the 2008 Greater Phoenix RussMatt Invitational beginning at 11:00 a.m. MST (2:00 p.m. EDT).

It looked like home. And it was. It was seemingly custom-made for a 21-year-old obsessed with David Foster Wallace, Samuel Beckett, Lorrie Moore and Thomas Pynchon.
A few years later, of course, McSweeney's founder Dave Eggers was a famous memoirist—both lionized and savaged in the press. He was hailed as the future of literary publishing largely because of his love for the past, but just as often McSweeney's was called cliquish MFA fare, Donald Barthelme-lite, gimmicky, the product of a trust-fund kid, a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too mélange of the coolly ironic and the bathetically sincere.
Well, McSweeney's is all of those things, of course. Over the past 15 years—which saw the creation of Lucky Peach and The Believer magazines and countless book imprints—the publishing house's approach to literature has been wide-eyed and ecstatic and, above all, indulgent. From dabbling in Sudanese literature to publishing literary journals with CD soundtracks or hypercolor covers, the quarterly has shown itself a stunningly dedicated dilettante.
But its raccoon's eye for shiny things has turned McSweeney's into an impressive warehouse of treasures, documented newly and lovingly in a brick-dwarfing tome called The Best of McSweeney's (McSweeney's, 624 pages, $30). The story "Statistical Abstract for My Hometown Spokane, Washington," by Jess Walter is a succession of 51 progressively intimate items told in "fun facts" format. It is also an emotional whip-cracker. Daniel Clowes, Adrian Tomine, Joe Sacco and Chris Ware offer up comics that amount to an argument for the form. Current it-kid writers such as Sheila Heti and Wells Tower were largely unknown when first published in McSweeney's; it's almost nostalgic to see them resurface here.
So yes, Eggers
started McSweeney's with a trust fund and a book deal. But while some people use their
trust fund to pay for vacations and drugs and easy access to sex, what
Eggers and McSweeney's did was change literature. And looking at this
collection, it's hard to think it didn't change it for the better.
GO: McSweeney's contributors Arthur Bradford, Jess Walter and editor Jordan Bass will read at Powell's City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St., on Tuesday, Nov. 26. 7:30 pm. Free.

Green Infrastructure
In cities, that interconnected network utilizes structures such as rain gardens, green roofs, tree planting, permeable pavement and other landscape-based drainage features. These features restore, protect and mimic natural water flow within a man-made environment.
Take a virtual tour of Lenexa's green infrastructure.
Benefits of green infrastructure
Green infrastructure works to reduce and treat runoff before it reaches stormdrains. Local research on green infrastructure in Johnson County shows it can capture or retain 90 percent or more of the rain from typical storms delivering an inch or less. This is crucial since the majority of pollutants are carried in the first half-inch of rain.
Utilizing green infrastructure reduces runoff entering stormdrains, which reduces wear and tear on them, saving money in maintenance and replacement costs. It also provides wildlife habitat and areas for recreation and green space.
Lenexa's stormwater maintenance crews care for green infrastructure owned by the city, including rain gardens, bioretention cells, swales, green roofs and other structures. A large-scale effort is made to promote native plants that can capture and infiltrate runoff with their deep root systems.
For more information about Lenexa's green infrastructure, contact Ted Semadeni, stormwater superintendent.

The study, published in the International Journal of Medical Science, found that, contrary to some media reports, "Supplementation with MPP (Craze®) was generally safe and well-tolerated". The researchers noted that there were no serious adverse events. The study was conducted before the blasts of media attention on Craze and was subject to increased scrutiny after some articles were published. Contrary to those reports, the study found Driven Sports Craze did not contain N, α-diethylphenylethylamine (NADEPEA) and the liver enzymes of the participants were not elevated.
The 6-week Efficacy Study found that trends were observed for a reduction of fat mass accompanied by an increase of lean mass over the 6-week study period. The study also found self-perception of focus was higher and fatigue lower. Subjects reported significant differences of energy that used Craze. The study may have reached statistical significance for gaining muscle mass and losing fat had it been done over a longer timeframe.
The results of this safety study and our 34 other tests showing that Driven Sports Craze does not contain NADEPEA contradict the media attempts to show a link of Craze to a methamphetamine-like substance. However Driven Sports loyal customers are our top priority, and although we disagree with the tests paid for by our competitors, we will not disregard them. Therefore, we stopped distributing Craze over six months ago and are completing destruction of any remaining inventory to which we have access. We do not believe that any legitimate Craze is available at any authorized retailer and urge consumers to exercise appropriate caution. We also want to remind consumers of our money back guarantee on our products, and that consumers can return Craze to the retailer you purchased it from for a full refund of the purchase price.
Driven Sports is dedicated to providing high quality products that are effective and safe.

The tea party promises fiscal responsibility. House Speaker John Boehner trumpets the $38 billion reduction in spending as real and significant. Given the fact that the federal government spends about $11 billion per day, the cuts amount to less than four days of expense. Duly elected officials talk about what great concerted effort was made to effect these reductions. What an utter mendacity. The emperor has no new clothes.
Resources are finite. We must begin realistic discussion about the specific services we want government to provide, how the government can be more efficient at delivering the services we agree on, and how we will pay for them. This will require honest and brave leadership as opposed to obfuscation from politicians whose main goal is to remain in power.
There is a saying, "Physician heal thyself." It is time for Congress to do just that. Here's how:
• Pass legislation that requires an immediate 10 percent pay cut for all elected and appointed federal government officials. Said legislation also mandates they no longer enjoy special retirement and health care benefits, but participate in the same benefit programs offered to civil service employees.
• Said legislation also requires that if after two years Congress fails to produce a balanced budget, this same group will have wages cut an additional 2 percent. This process will continue until we do have a balanced budget.
• Said legislation also mandates no elected or appointed federal government official or their immediate family members may receive any income whatsoever from lobbying, either directly or indirectly, for a time equal to their tenure in government service. Violators would be subject to significant fines and imprisonment.
Passage of this legislation would demonstrate our leaders are truly willing to make tough choices, to share in the sacrifices required to achieve fiscal responsibility, and accept pay for performance. Then we might be able to believe in them as we move on to more difficult debates on larger issues.

Ensuring a bright future for anglophones along the Baie des Chaleurs
Several people braved the rain last night to attend a forum hosted by Quebec AM at the community centre in Cascapedia-St-Jules. We were asking a big question: how do we ensure a bright future for anglophones along the Baie des Chaleurs? The panelists included, Gilles Gagné, a journalist with the Gaspé Spec. Catherine Johnson is the director general for the Gesgapegiag First Nation. Howard Miller is the interim director of the Eastern Shores School Board. Jennifer Hayes lives in Shigawake, where she is a farmer, a blogger and a revitalization agent. And Norman Desjardins of Bonaventure is a retired teacher and a professional artist.

Segen is one of the UK's largest distributors of solar photovoltaic equipment, which we supply to the network of MCS certified installers. All the products we supply are fully compliant with the MCS scheme. This will ensure that your installation will qualify for the feed-in tariff and be covered by extensive manufacturer's warranties.
Using market leading products from Panasonic, Seraphim, Jinko, Canadian Solar, SMA, Fronius, Schletter and other leading brands, Segen can ensure the success of your energy saving solar photovoltaic project.
Segen offers in-roof and other mounting systems for improved visual appearance and minimal planning requirements. An in-roof solar PV system is ideal for a new or renovated roof as some of the cost of the system can be offset against the saving from less roof tiles and their fitting time.
The choice of mounting type is dependant on your roof structure and your own personal preference but Segen will always supply a top quality aluminium mounting system from Schuco, one of the Europe's leading suppliers of solar photovoltaic mounting equipment.
A solar PV system installed onto a domestic property will normally be eligible for the feed-in tariff which is a scheme which pays you for all the energy generated by your solar PV system irrespective of if you use that electricity yourself or export it to the grid and sell it back to your electricity company. To qualify for the feed-in tariff you must use equipment and an installer which are all certified under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).

Most heavy 4wd vehicles leave the factory with 1/2-ton strength running gear, and when you need to climb over high obstacles, ford streams, or deal with sand, mud, and grit regularly, your hubs end up facing a ton of stress.

Beefed-up internal components made from reinforced, heat-treated steel give you the durability you need, and a raised center knob that's easy to grip and turn gives you the ease of use you want. Mile Marker is so confident of the durability of their replacement hubs, they cover them with a 2-year warranty against defects.
Mile Marker locking hubs, winches, and other automotive parts have been used by the U.S. Military on countless missions in the worst conditions imaginable all over the world.

When you're going into tough terrain, you can install Mile Marker equipment on your vehicle with the confidence of knowing you can count on them to be there for you in any sticky situation. Mile Marker has designed all components to provide the highest levels of durability through the use of maximum-strength corrosion-resistant materials, and greater ease of use through efficient and tested design.

When I first talked to Angela, I asked her what her family liked to do. Two main things that they ALL enjoy is reading & playing games so we decided to base the session around that. We got exclusive access to a library and met up to take pictures, have fun and make some memories. What a great family.
Now, to play one of their favorite games. Can you guess which one it is?

text: http://techcrunch.com – Last year, venture firm Kleiner Perkins debuted its plans for a summer internship program to place top engineering talent from colleges at the firm's portfolio companies. The benefit is two-fold: students get to work at the startup level, are mentored (and have the prestige of Kleiner Perkins on their resume) and startups get access to young engineering talent. Aster a successful inaugural program this summer, the venture firm is now accepting applications for the 2013 class. As Kleiner explains, the goal of the paid fellowship is to give engineering students the experience of working on (IT news)

This winter promises to be a hot one in Montreal as the city gears up for its annual outdoor winter music festival, taking place over four weekends in January and February with the best in international and local electronic music. Igloofest is now in its seventh successful year, and promises to warm up Montreal's Old Port next weekend with an inimitable set-up that includes huge visual displays, ice bars, and, of course, real igloos. In the past, the festival has seen unforgettable performances from the likes of Ben Klock, Green Velvet, Akufen, Lunice, Maya Jane Coles, Max Cooper, and Seth Troxler, to name a few.
Despite such an overwhelming presence of international names, it is truly the local acts that make Igloofest so special, each providing their own version of Montreal's home-brewed sound. This year looks to be bigger and better than ever as local artists like Alicia Hush, Moody Jones, Tone Depth, Vosper, The Gulf Stream, Block & Groj, Stephen Beaupré, and many others take the decks with their unique distillations of house, minimal, experimental, techno, and bass music.
We sat down with Montrealers Alicia Hush, Stephen Beaupre, and The Gulf Stream's Jérôme Guilleaume and Ivann Urena to get their thoughts on this year's Igloofest and the local scene in general.
What makes the music scene in Montreal so special compared to other cities?
Stephen Beaupré: The music scene in Montreal is vibrant but always in flux. What makes it so special is a whole bunch of unquantifiable phenomena that combine to create a city that attracts and fosters very earnest creativity. People are very genuine and clever here, with a real sense of community and joie de vivre—or maybe it's just the lovely ladies, I don't know!
Alicia Hush: The scene is smaller, in a good way. It feels like a high concentration of goodness, in a less-congested city. The people attending events are solid music devotees who pay good attention to the sounds being played for them. Also, Montrealers dance! I think well-organized and recognized events like MUTEK, Igloofest, and Piknic Électronik have really lifted the dark looming "electronic music is evil" cloud that so many other North American cities battle with.
Jérôme Guilleaume: Montreal is one of the hub cities where Europe and the Americas collide, creating a great diversity of sound and influence. It's a great moment to live here. The fact that Ivann and I met here (as we are both Europeans) is a good example of that statement.
Ivann Urena: Montreal is also a city where you can feel intensely all the seasons of the year. It is always inspiring to feel different kinds of moods and moments to create music.
How has being based in Montreal helped you grow as an artist?
SB: There is a lot of love and a great deal of inspiration to be had from the people whom I have the fortune of knowing. I'm surrounded by spectacular individuals who challenge and amaze me constantly, and make me realize how little I truly know!
AH: I've been an official resident for about two months now, and in these two months I think I have made more music than I did all last year! There is a certain ease of life here in Montreal that really feeds the creative soul. Financially, it is much easier to survive on the "starving artist" income. And of course, living a stone's throw away from wonderfully kind artists like Pheek, Stefny, Billy (Dalessandro), and Zeina creates a real special music-family vibe.
JG: We have the chance to be surrounded by inspiring people with great talent. Our studio is in the heart of the Mile End—inspiration is everywhere.
IU: Montreal is one of the capitals of multimedia. People here are so thirsty for creations, and curious about gear and technology. It is really easy to meet artists, share working methods and creative input here.
What can we expect from your set at Igloofest?
SB: I'll throw in a few old goodies, but I've got quite a bit of new material that I'm looking forward to playing. I'll do my job as best I can and get that booty shaking and wiggling, but only so that everybody stays warm! This isn't about having fun, it's about survival. Hypothermia is a very serious issue!
AH: I will be playing a brand-new live set! At this moment, I am still not finished putting it together, but you can definitely expect lots of layers, thick bass, and a new special dose of weird.
JG: Sexy bass music is what I dig right now. Things a bit different that you can hear in our productions.
IU: We want people to warm up, because it's cold out there!
How concerned are you about playing an outdoor show in the middle of winter? Be honest!
SB: I wasn't really concerned before you mentioned it…now I'm terrified! Again, hypothermia! Serious.
AH: I haven't thought about the cold… yet. I think my brain and body sort of fall into a really quiet place before a performance and I don't really know what's going on around me until about 30 minutes in. Hopefully by that time the heaters will have warmed up on the stage! What is more concerning to me than the cold is the chance I could be playing in front of more people than I ever have before. Aaaahhh!
JG: I guess the gear is the main concern! I'll be playing with some hardware that I wouldn't want the snow to damage.
IU: The only difference is that you have to wear gloves!
How has the music scene in Montreal changed over the years?
SB: Peaks and troughs, like anything. There has always been the constant of MUTEK, though, which is a solid tether. MUTEK is like a beacon—always guiding me back to the substantial influence of the particular scene. Otherwise, oblivion!
AH: Like all electronic music dwellings in Canada, the scene flourished and thrived until the tightening of laws and the closing of special venues put a choke-hold on underground events. I think we are still picking up the pieces and trying to do things right all over again. In Montreal, I can see a coming-together of artists and promoters creating a real camaraderie and growth for music and musical events.
JG: It's incredibly diverse, yet small and connected. "Bass culture" is more and more present and the producers are more and more creative with it. The beat scene—branded as Piu Piu here—is one of the most creative outlets I've heard in a while.
IU: Montreal is, and will always be, a rock place! The difference is that the electronic scene has a bigger crowd than ever. It is nice to see DJs that you used to see in small clubs with no crowds playing on the big stage of events like Piknic Électronik today!
If you could describe your sound in three words, what would they be?
SB: Trying to be…
AH: Quirk, bam, bloop!
JG: Evolving, bassy, brainy?
IU: Story, groovy, relaxing?
Name your go-to track for pumping up the crowd?
SB: "Fish Fry" or maybe "Gl'Amour." They seem to work alright!
AH: Robag Wruhme, "Blech Beule." It's so dark and driving and perfect! That song seems to bring out the bad-ass in everyone's dance moves.
JG: Any track from Dark Sky. Right now these guys a doing a great job—they are really on-point.
IU: Dennis Ferrer & Jerome Sydenham, "Sandcastles." Year after year, this track is always a classic for me on the dancefloor.
Who are you listening to these days?
SB: "Gangnam Style" on repeat! Also the new Merveille and Crosson album on Visonquest is pretty fine!
AH: Kai Kaitaro, Marlene Magnoli, Ana+one (non-biased, of course), Billy Dalessandro, Mod2.
JG: Dark Sky (obviously), long-time favorite. Lazer Sword, HxdB, Scuba, Ital Tek, Holy Other, Sun Glitters…
IU: For the last two years, I've been listening to old soul and funk records: Ann Peebles, Bobby Womack, Vicki Anderson, Brass Construction, Gil Scott-Heron, Cameo… To be honest, if I want to hear new sounds, I ask Jérôme!
What Montreal DJs or producers would you say have been an inspiration for you?
SB: Akufen, Vincent Lemieux, Tim Hecker, and all the expats in Berlin.
AH: Akufen! I can still remember the first time I heard "Deck the House." I entered a new aural world in that moment. I was mesmerized by his micro-chop perfection.
JG: Living~Stone, who is now a friend of mine, always awed me with his showman spirit; his crowd interactions are always heartfelt and genuine. I always loved that from him. Famelik is also one of the great, prolific, talented producers and performers that lives in this city. He is really humble and generous; you should check that out! Also Hovatron, who now goes under the moniker of Jacques Greene, did (and still does) some great work in electronic music. Montreal is so lucky to have talent like that.
IU: Pheek and Mateo Murphy, who I used to listen to on old vinyl records when I was in France. It is just amazing that 10 years after, Pheek decided to sign us to his label.
Tell us about your most memorable performance?
SB: I don't have one most memorable performance, but I have many fantastic moments: my first time in Europe with Vincent had some great ones, MUTEK Valparaiso, Sapporo, Soundwave… But one of my favorites is very simply playing at Féstival Panorama with Zip for a Perlon party about six years ago. Ricardo (Villalobos) was supposed to play with us but had to cancel so instead of playing just a live set, I played live and DJed and it all just ended up working out really nicely.
AH: MUTEK, of course! I will never ever forget that afternoon in the park. The rain held out, and Place de la Paix filled up with so many smiling, dancing people!
JG: I guess as TGS, my most memorable performance was the first of Trajectoires AV @ MUTEK this year. We worked so hard on that AV that we couldn't stop smiling from the beginning to the end of the performance. We had such an amazing response from the audience and the team from MUTEK—it was incredible. Priceless memories!
IU: Our first performance at MUTEK was just crazy. We did not expect so many people to show up! The room was completely packed and really receptive. The feeling after the show—the relief that all had gone well—was a really unique moment.

Dry weather has taken over the majority of the nation, and the north country is no exception.
Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties are experiencing abnormally dry weather, hurting businesses and making towns and villages think about restricting water.
There is rain forecasted for next week, but there is no end in sight for the dry conditions.
Unfortunately, although those thunderstorms can drop a lot of rain at one time, most of it just flows off, said Michael R. Pukajlo, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Buffalo. Slow, soaking rain is not on the horizon.
Since June, Watertown has gotten 3.48 inches of rain, when it normally receives 4.25 inches, according to Jessica Rennells, Northeast Regional Climate Center climatologist. Lowville has gotten 3.62 inches rather than the norm of 5.35 inches, and Massena received 4.43 inches, when it normally receives 5.42 inches.
This is creating problems for municipalities like Hounsfield. While the town is not yet experiencing a water shortage, Water Superintendent Jeffrey J. Kenney said it could be only a matter of time.
Were getting to our limits, Mr. Kenney said. The village of Sackets is telling me that theyre pumping is at maximum capacity.
He said that if water usage increases, there will be a shortage and probably water-usage restrictions.
Mr. Kenney is not the only one pondering the possibility of restrictions.
I have been thinking about it, village of Canton Superintendent Brien E. Hallahan said. Were close to what you would call a drought. It would be wise to request people to be conservative. We dont have a lot of surplus water.
Cantons water supply comes from groundwater sources that could diminish if dry conditions continue. Because the villages water filtration plant, which used to draw water from the Grasse River, has not been used in years, restarting it would require residents to boil water for drinking purposes.
If that goes on line, that would be a certifiable emergency, Mr. Hallahan said.
Gouverneur draws its supply from the Oswegatchie River, and filtration operators have been busy trying to stay ahead of use.
If it stays dry, the village probably will ask residents to curb water use when the Gouverneur & St. Lawrence County Fair begins July 31 to make sure it has adequate amounts, Mayor Christopher A. Miller said.
Adams also may have problems if the ground isnt saturated with water soon.
Were watching it closely, said Mayor Patricia C. Sweetland. If things dont change in a week and a half, we could be calling for conservation measures, if not a direct emergency.
Heuvelton, which pumps from a single well, already has started to ask residents to voluntarily conserve water, Village Clerk Anna Hurst said.
According to Mr. Pukajlo, the near-drought conditions are created by a persistent high-pressure ridge like the one that caused the area to experience a mild winter.
Were under a lot of high-pressure-ridge activity that tends to dampen any funnel or thunderstorm activity, he said.
Coupled with the dry conditions, temperatures have been rising. Watertown hit a 91-degree record high Wednesday, topping 1982s 89 degrees. Massena tied a 1999 record when temperatures rose to 92 degrees.
The lack of moisture in the ground has dried grass to a crisp, slowing down business for landscaping companies like A Cut Above in Watertown.
We cant really mow lawns because theres no grass, so its been slowing us down quite a bit, said owner Justin S. Chesbrough. If we did water delivery, wed be busier.
He said business has been slashed 15 percent to 20 percent in the past week.
We need rain really bad, Mr. Chesbrough said. The cooler temperatures will not make a difference. Itll get worse until we get some rain.
Golf courses are hurting, too.
The conditions of the fairway are very dry and the balls are running, said Ives Hill Country Club golf professional Lanie M. Gerken.
She said the greens are still doing fine, but the pond that supplies water to them has only a week of water left. The grounds are getting watered two to three times a day with a sprinkler.
The water bill has been going up for sure, Ms. Gerken said. The greens superintendent has said its the driest this early that he can remember.

The Reactable Experience, a version of Reactable created for public installations, has engaged and inspired countless visitors of museums and exhibitions around the world. It has received several awards, but most important, the response we've had has been simply incredible. Because of these cheers, we have decided to take things a step further and create a new version.
For this new version we re-explored the basic concepts that are true to any Reactable instrument, it should challenge the way we interact with and think of music, it should involve sight, sound and touch, and over all, it should inspire and spark creativity.
We also wanted something that would complement our interface yet stand out on its own, so special attention was paid to the design, and we think we got it right.
So today we proudly introduce a brand new adaptation, a major redesign, that we hope will continue to grab the attention and entertain anyone who uses it.
