Markus Miessen in conversation with Zak Kyes
Zak, you are currently living in London. When and why did you decide to leave the United States?
I ended up in London almost by chance after dropping out of a double major in art-history and business at a small liberal arts school in New York and then attending CalArts just outside L.A. That this move to Europe, where much of my family still lives, coincided almost exactly with the second term of the Bush administration is probably no coincidence. What is interesting about London as a base to live and work from is its position as one of the critical cultural poles of the Western world: when the world seems to be moving East, or working remotely from economically more hospitable locales, my optimism of living in a metropolis like London is only renewed. And who knows: with the oncoming global financial meltdown and real-estate foreclosures maybe London will one day become the new Berlin, with plenty of vacant and cheap spaces for all. London is a profoundly international and multi-cultural city and a pretty remarkable place to be for its extreme diversity and its links to all kinds of cultural production. This is markedly different from Los Angeles – a sprawling multitude that is deeply transformed by the entertainment industry's sphere of influence. In this climate design practices have become hijacked by an industry and marketplace with very narrow goals. I now operate a studio in East London, having recently been joined by the graphic designer Grégory Ambos, and frequently work in collaboration with fellow graphic designers, architects, writers, editors, curators, and artists. This practice more closely resembles an ongoing collaboration between a network of practitioners as opposed to a typical designer-client structure. The studio is located in a former 18th century workshop space adjacent to London's first social housing project built by the Huguenots. The utopian ideals of an ecology of workshops encouraging intentionally small-scale and nimble operations is still, as a concept at least, integral to my vision of a studio practice.
You studied at California Institute of the Arts. How do culturally progressive pedagogical structures in the US differ from those in Europe?
My view of design education in Europe is invariably influenced by my time at CalArts, a school known for its experimental and critical approach, and by later experiences teaching in Europe. One of the striking differences in European academic institutions, besides the effects of their obvious but profound geographical differences, is the extent to which success and influence – due to the fact that there is a wider recognition and audience for design – shape the discipline as a whole. A time of quiet and reflective work is disappearing as the cycle of success and exposure happens faster, making it very difficult to develop and refine ideas. By the end of one's studies, there seems an expectation to have a pre-defined path and packaged image – which might prove helpful in terms of being marketable in the short term, but dangerous in the long term. My reaction to CalArts was that the strands of the school's independent and radical history, which I found much more inspired, were nearly absent from the contemporary aesthetic and pedagogical topics under discussion. This eventually formed the point of departure for a self-reflexive publication I co-initiated and which was published by CalArts, titled "The Institute for Words and Pictures".
How do you think the recent changes in the US administration will effect cultural production?
It is impossible to predict what the change will be, but the election of a new US administration certainly signals a clear shift in social and cultural values.
We have just returned from New York. How does New York differ from London, right now and in general?
The two cities are fundamentally different. The chances are still much greater to meet a New Yorker in New York, than a Londoner in London. That says a lot.
Are both of these cities paradigms of the past?
I think it's much more complex than that.
Do you think that in the long run, cultural producers will move back to New York or Los Angeles – say from places like Berlin or London – because of the recent political changes in the US?
After eight years of an administration which alienated so many, the idea of spending more time on projects or teaching in the US does seem very appealing. But there is an incredible amount of work which needs to be done and it has only just begun.
The financial crisis has only just started to hit production, values and employment statistics. This will probably change dramatically over the next twelve months. How do you predict the primary changes within cultural production?
There has recently been astounding and unprecedented support of the art world and cultural production as evidenced through public funding, private wealth and art auctions. It is hard to imagine that the troubles beginning with the subprime mortgage market, which quickly spread to other credit reliant business, would not also extend to a correction in the art market. There have been exceptions like the acceleration of the art market following the dot-com bubble in the late 90s, but unlike credit, which is all-pervasive, the nature of that downturn was more isolated. It is hard to imagine how exactly it will affect cultural production but it seems likely that it will in ways we cannot predict. Artists and designers have always dealt well with economic constraints, so maybe this will be the beginning of a new sobriety.
Apart from the work you are undergoing as Zak Group, you are also the Art Director of London's Architectural Association. How does the cultural programme at the AA influence your outside practice?
My role as Art Director of the Architectural Association connects two distinct aspects of my practice, design and everything else: teaching, planning and editorial work. The result is a practice, which is in constant negotiation with the highly specialized role of a graphic designer. These negotiations question the graphic designer as a model in ways that amount to a practice which entails more than just design. My role as Art Director includes directing the design of publications, various projects produced through the Print Studio, and most recently the initiation of Bedford Press, a private press implemented to publish special projects at the AA. This work is carried out with a talented team and two excellent graphic designers, Wayne Daly and Claire McManus. The Print Studio was originally established in 71/72 by Denis Crompton of Archigram to shape the school's architectural discourse through the production and distribution of publications. Books have been a key reason for the School's success at a time when the speculative nature of architectural proposals found their most logical expression in un-built forms. The book became an ideal site for discourse and exchange. Recently we have re-focused our activities as an autonomous unit within the broader cultural programme of the school.
What is your preferred format or species of product to work on?
It is not so much the species of product but rather the generative process that is important for me. Collaborations with practitioners from other fields, for instance, make the process of design more informed by the outside world and able to deal with complex subjects. This is increasingly important, as graphic design has become a discipline which must seemingly be knowledgeable about nearly everything. What counts as intelligence in the field of graphic design must, in my view, be tied directly to its links with these other disciplines. An emphasis on content is also incredibly important as I consider the voice of the graphic design as constituting an editorial presence itself – rather than just a service provided at the very end. To this end I have recently initiated Bedford Press. Our hope is that a more direct link between content/design and technology/production will allow for more a nimble and autonomous model of small-scale publishing.
What is the most uncomfortable format for you?
Business cards – and all the other things which people expect graphic design to be.
You have quite recently curated an internationally travelling exhibition titled "Forms of Inquiry: The Architecture of Critical Graphic Design". What was your motivation to do this show?
The exhibition was curated in 2007 under the auspices of the Architectural Association in London, itself a school with a rich tradition of critical, speculative and experimental work, as an exploration of the productive intersections of graphic design and architecture. FOI touches upon these various intersections by proposing models in which graphic design can both engage collaboratively with architecture and borrow from its expanded critical and methodological set of references. Together with Mark Owens and the exhibition's contributors, we put together a modest book, which despite its size presents an incredibly diverse array of possible methodologies, and in so doing places a special emphasis on reading as much as the visual register of the show's contents. But the main thing about the exhibition is this incredibly positive, simple notion that graphic design should be a tool for the production of knowledge, and in so doing departs radically from the idea of the designer as an agent who visualizes somebody else's knowledge. The overwhelming response to Forms of Inquiry brought the exhibition from the AA to Casco, Office for Art, Design and Theory in Holland, lux Scène nationale de Valence in France and Iaspis in Sweden.
Do you have a particular attitude towards forms of revival or nostalgic retro-design?
What first attracted me to graphic design was how I naively thought of it as a question of cultural production rather than technique. So while there are moments in modern design, which I find incredibly interesting and beautiful, it is the fact that design inevitably points to other things – a poster to the events it announces, a typeface to a historical context – that I often find more interesting than the actual form. This is not to say I am against historical forms, or typologies, or the recycling of both of them. So much great work has been done before that it would be a crime not to use this as raw material. In fact, this is a cornerstone of what I would call Economic Design.
What are your most evident influences?
If I were to pick a favourite book it would be "I Seem to be a Verb" by Buckminster Fuller, designed by Quentin Fiore and produced by Jerome Agel. The idea of a equivalent to the speculative practices or "paper architecture" projects, often independent and self-initiated, was a real discovery to me as a student. These projects from the 60s and 70s responded to the conditions around them in ways that attempted to transform these realities. As prosaic as it might sound, what I took from this research was the value of making proposals where they are not necessarily solicited.
You have coined the term Economic Design. Could you please elaborate on this?
Economic Design is maximum effect with minimal resources. Economic Design is intellectually and materially efficient. Economic Design acknowledges that so much great work has been done before and therefore takes the liberty to repurpose existing forms when appropriate. Economic Design is the ideology of unwritten manifesto. Economic Design is not minimalism. Economic Design is not functionalism. Economic Design is not appropriation. Economic Design is totally economic.

I think the reason why twenty-somethings are so fixated on age is because we feel a pressure to be a certain way at 23, at 25, at 29. There are all of these invisible deadlines with our careers and with love and drinking and drugs. I can't do coke at 25. I need to be in a LTR at 27. I can't vomit from drinking at 26. I just can't! We feel so much guilt for essentially acting our age and making mistakes. We're obsessed with this idea of being domesticated and having our shit together. It's kind of sad actually because I don't think we ever fully get a chance to enjoy our youth. We're so concerned about doing things "the right way" that we lose any sense of pleasure in doing things the wrong way. Youth may be truly wasted on the young.

How do you organize your crafting space?

Do you have a room dedicated to your projects? How do you organize your stuff?
I do not have a room, but I do try to store my supplies in a set of Rubbermaid drawers and organizing bins. I really want my very own crafting room. Maybe some day that will happen!
|Mon, 03-25-2013 - 11:57am
Well, I HAVE a whole studio...but organized it is definitely not. In April there's an art gathering called SeARTle and I began scrounging around in there looking for giveaways and raffle prizes and gifties and left it even messier. We had had an invasion of squirrels in the attic and that was already a huge mess with 1/2 the stuff being hauled downstairs so I could clean up some. Then, I plowed through it all getting stuff to take both to Hawaii and to the convening......
So, yes, I have a dedicated space and no way is it organized right now!

My 'under the radar' blog featuring my baseball card collecting endeavors and hopefully some of my autographs collected in-person / through-the-mail.
Thursday, January 20, 2005
I like lurking for other websites, devoted to my interests. I honestly, don't like looking at other people's stuff, because I tend to get jealous of collections that are out of my league. I like seeing more of the stuff showcased with a 'regional feel' and stuff, I can think about being ideal for my own collection. I do appreciate the efforts of other 'collectors' who can show off a handful of pictures, in a 'low tech' manner.

Taking 5: PSN Down Indefinitely?
Last Wednesday the PlayStation Network went down. 7 day's later it's still down and information is scarce. This. Shouldn't. Happen.
On Monday, the Japanese electronics giant said it is keeping its PlayStation Network videogame service offline indefinitely following a hacking attack it now says may have compromised user's information.
To ensure the network's integrity, Sony said it is currently rebuilding the service, which connects more than 75 million PlayStation customers over the Internet, letting them play videogames and chat together. "This is a time intensive process and we're working to get them back online quickly," Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold said in a blog post. - Wall Street Journal
There are so many things to talk about from those two paragraphs alone, though it's worth it to read the entire article. First of all, if my personal information has been compromised why hasn't Sony put out a press release about it? Why haven't they emailed the users of their service to tell them that their information has been compromised? And why are there only 4 sentences about it on the Playstation Blog?
No news is bad news here, Sony. We are 7 days into this thing and you haven't told us anything. That means you have no idea how badly you have messed up. Saying, "Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure." doesn't actually mean anything to anyone.
Pull it together Sony. Email your users, tell them if their information has been compromised because that could canceling credit cards and changing passwords. Or tell us that our information is secure but the service will be down for days, or weeks, or months. Be the billion dollar company you are and just tell us something.
The thing to say on your web is that since PSN is free you can't really complain about it, and that's pretty dumb… The store, your friends list, these aren't perks. By 2011, they're bedrock assertions of the medium. The deal they made with users - one which, for years, was the justification for a gruesome price disparity - was 'free Xbox Live,' not 'shit happens'. - Penny Arcade.
This PSN thing is like watching a train wreck happen in slow motion. I really want to look away but I can't. I know it's infuriating millions of people, but all I can do is keep reading news and wait patiently for it to be over.

In the End
An "end of the world" piece with the charm it deserves. If this is how it all goes down, then count me in. I'm sure I still have a copy of Coltrane's A Love Supreme around here somewhere. This is my second piece to appear in Untoward Magazine and a special thanks to Matt Rowan for making that happen as well as to Peter Markus for the English skills, and finally, to the late Kenneth Patchen whose influence, I hope, albeit most sloppily, graces this story.

For Bob Rivers, if there is a stairway to success in this economy and to business innovation in Indiana, it's stepping up science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills, also known as STEM.
"Our businesses have sounded an alarm because they have to hire people from out of state" says River, Director of the Center for Science and Teacher Education at Purdue University Calumet.
"We need to create a strong enough pipeline of students and then connect them at the universities to industries from the state and the region so we can boost economic development. And get half of them to stay here. What a shot in the arm that would be."
According the U. S. Department of Labor, only 5 percent of U.S. workers are employed in these fields, yet they are responsible for more than 50 percent of sustained economic expansion. STEM occupations have garnered 26 percent more earnings than non-STEM occupations.
Indiana needs to urgently address the challenge and raise the bar, Rivers says. STEM workers drive our nation's innovation and competitiveness by generating new ideas, companies and industries, according to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
STEM job growth was three times that of non-STEM jobs in the past decade and is second only to health care as the fastest-growing occupational category. Key STEM fields in Indiana are advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, engineering and information technology.
"If we don't start producing more students, we are stymieing economic development," Rivers says. "And let's face it, every job in Indiana has a connection to technology. We're not advocating everybody is going to become a scientist, doctor or even get a master's degree. Jobs are becoming more technical and require more basic mathematical and scientific understanding."
Making science count
Indiana tests students in science but only holds schools accountable for meeting performance targets on ready and math tests, Rivers says.
In almost every state, children will get less time for science in elementary school than they did 15 years ago, according to 2012 data from the American Institutes for Research.
Rivers says its imperative the process include a careful assessment of student ability in science over the long haul and begin at the upper elementary level. Tests need to move beyond multiple choice.
"Math and English get the bulk of the time, and science is an afterthought at the end of the day," he says. "They need to be held accountable in the right way — not memorizing a bunch of words and definitions."
Debbie Snedden, curriculum director at the Hammond Academy of Science and Technology, says inquiry and concepts must be taught.
"We have to look at how kids are learning," she says. "This is so much bigger than just the science. It's about thinking and reasoning. We have inquiry based instruction where kids have to uncover it. The learning is definitely the responsibility of the kids."
HAST has partnerships with local industries such as BP and ArcelorMittal. The school takes students on field trips, brings in live engineers and offers internships at PUC.
Igniting the spark
STEM jobs are plentiful and will increase in demand, but STEM degrees and certificates have not kept pace with demand, according to data from Washington D.C.-based Change the Equation, a nonprofit business-led initiative.
"We need to light the fire at the elementary school level because that's where the pipeline starts," Rivers says. "If you turn them off then they grudgingly go through science and then avoid it like the plague. You're not going to get students at the college level if they're not prepared adequately and don't have the right kinds of attitudes."
PUC has a submarine simulation program, funded by the U.S. Department of Navy in 1996, called "Exploration Earth: Mission Ocean" to engage students in STEM.
"Lighting a fire means getting students plugged into the excitement and intellectual stimulation and enjoyment they can get from doing a scientific activity," Rivers says.
He advocates not just after-school programs but in-school programs because they have the potential to impact more students. He says he received a letter from a mother whose son was choosing to go to the naval military academy.
"That program lit a fire in him and allowed him to make choices as he want through middle, high school and college that sent him in that direction," he says.
Women and Hispanics
The composition of the STEM education pipeline needs to include more women and underrepresented minorities, Rivers says.
Although women fill close to half of all jobs in the U.S., they hold less than 25 percent of STEM related jobs, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Snedden says "The girls don't even think about engineering classes but once they get into these projects they see what it's all about."
Muhammad Anan and Besma Smida are assistant professors of electrical and computer engineering at PUC. Anan says he has seen more women entering the field of software engineering because working conditions are generally better. "It's a challenge but it's still not where we'd like it to be," he says.
Besma Smida says the numbers remain far too low and that its time to drop old stereotypes and myths of science and technology as being dull and boring. A career in engineering occupations can be varied, exciting, glamorous, she says.
Rivers says girls frequently emerge as leaders during submarine simulations.
"In many cases, the girl is the captain in our teams. You see them working together with skills and concepts they have developed. You see the confidence in their faces and watch them giving orders. It is amazing to see.
"Lighting the fire early on helps build the pipeline so they are ready for the challenging and experiences at the high school and college level."

The "I am in no way interested in this, regardless of whose mother this Asian man sampled" email
Press Immediate Release
Free Download: ***** - "*****"
New Vintage Rap single written and recorded by LA Vietnamese rapper/experimentalist/filmmaker, ***** (*****). Sampling Geoge Clooney's mother, Rosemary Clooney, ***** drops the poetry and writes bluntly how he feels about pottymouth songs, confirming him an out of the box thinker. We thought it was going to be a 2013 Asian man's version of Too Shorts song of the same title, but nope. ***** keeps it honest and tells it how he feels.
Don't even know where to start. (By the by, the parenthetical after the artist name is how to pronounce the name, the only good part of this email.) So … he's not writing pottymouth songs or parodizing them or anything … he's writing about how they make him feel? Sorry, but that doesn't make you an "out of the box thinker". That just makes you a human being with opinions. Welcome to the species. Also, what is "Vintage Rap" and how can it be "New"?
And hey, if this dude is also an experimentalist/filmmaker, tell me about that interesting stuff instead of his shitty "new old rap" crap.
The "I Wouldn't Have Really Known This Was an Impersonal email Until You Pointed It Out, Dipshit" email
"Hi All,
Please excuse the impersonal bulk email, just wanted to do one final follow-up on this, which is released tomorrow.
…[blah blah blah]…"
Could've just said, "Hey, this record is released tomorrow. Check it out here: ___insert link___." But no, you had to make sure I knew that you were mass emailing a bunch of bloggers whose sites you'd never read. Thanks for helping make sure I don't get past the first line.
The "This Band You Don't Like Is Doing Something Crazy On Tour Nowhere Near You" email
Band To Unveil Brand New Stage Featuring Iconic Elements Spanning Its 30-Year Career
LOS ANGELES, CA - March 15, 2012 - ***** today announced they would return to Mexico one month after the ***** weekend and will unveil a mind-blowing new stage that needs to be seen to be believed. This 140x50-foot stage will feature colossal components and striking visual elements spanning *****'s entire 30-year career.
Wow. This *stage* needs to be seen to be believed? I'll just wait for a photo, thankyouverymuch. In the mean time, neither me nor my readers give a shit about this.
The "There's No Way You're Into This Genre But I Didn't Do My Homework" Email
I am not a DJ. I don't care about DJs or the club scene or the European dance charts. (I also don't care for your inability to hit the space bar, but that's another matter.) So why are you telling me about this? Have you even read my blog? You'd realize there's nothing danceable about it! And I mean that in a good way! Please keep your shitty house music to yourself. It'll save you the trouble of constructing a poorly-written, boringly laudatory email, and it'll save me the trouble of having to think about how this shitty music exists.
The "This Text Is Too Crazily Formatted To Be Able To Read It Without Causing A Headache" email
hello people hello people hello people hello people hello people hello people hello people hello people hello people hello people WE JUST FINISHED OUR FIRST 7".

This TV looks like it would be great for playing video games. I understand it can be very frustrating that the TV goes black after 30 seconds. I would be entrusting in knowing if the TV goes black if the XBOX 360 is not connected or if it goes black if connected using the RCA cables. I am adding the links below to help you with your question while you wait for your expert response. I hope this will help you get the TV working again.

Reviewed: August 19, 2014 by Baelish, a Bisexual Married Female
I love this dildo. It's got great length and girth, and is perfect for giving you pleasure. It's realistic and flexible, and lovely and soft, so it feels great going in.
The suction, which is what I bought it for, is great for sticking to walls, floors, glass surfaces, baths, showers and so on, so you can bounce away to your heart's content, with your hands free to play with your nipples or clit. It's given me fantastic orgasms.
When I bought it, I was new to using dildos and found it perfectly easy to use, so it works for beginners and the more experienced too.
- Pros
- It's realistic, soft and flexible.
- Cons
- Nothing!

Wonderful feeling, just like the real thing. It's long and at first it took a bit of lube to get it fully inserted, but after that it was in and out easily.
Used hands-free mode by sticking to the mirror and using from behind. Drove my hubby crazy watching me, made me very horny. Love it.

Best purchase from Lovehoney so far
Reviewed: December 29, 2013 by poorstudent, a Bisexual Going Steady Male
Meet my favourite toy I've called Jack. I've owned a clear version of jack for just over a year now and he has provided me with so much anal pleasure.
The toy is very firm so is easy to insert but has a soft texture so it is not like you are shoving something rock hard or sharp into you!
I ordered the clear version which looks great when new. Jack though has been well used (numerous times a month by my partner and I). Jack has unfortunately discoloured though. For the first 6 months I always wore a condom using Jack and only the base discoloured from clear to a cloudy off whitish/yellow colour. The last 6 months I have not used a condom with the toy and the whole toy is no longer clear but the same colour as the base.
The toy is the perfect girth and length for fans of anal sex. It is just fulfilling enough and has never been painful for me. I own thicker toys which I need more warm up for. I no longer warm up with Jack and just go straight to town once I'm in the mood!
I use Jack in bed alone and with my partner, we have even tried using Jack to try double penetration! We didn't have much luck but will try again. Jack is also a lot of fun in the shower with the toy stuck to the wall or the base of the bath or on a stool thanks to the suction cup. Sticking jack to something allows for hands-free play which leads to some seriously intense pleasure sensations both on my prostate and from entering me so deeply!
I love this toy and it is bar far my best purchase from Lovehoney in terms of usage and pleasure. Enjoy!
- Pros
- The size and feel is beautiful.
- Cons
- The discolouration over time.
- Bottom line
- My favourite purchase from Lovehoney!

text: I've actually had an influx of requests lately. Had another one today, which sparked this thread. There are some of you who have flyfishing related sales ads that have been up for quite awhile, and not selling. If by chance it's something you just want gone, and would like the items to go into the hands of some wounded warriors in our Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing program, I'd gladly help you expedite that. I can take your item, get you an "in kind donation" letter from PHWFF, and you can write off your gift. I know some of you don't care about the write off, but some may. If you are out of the area, you can mail to me. If you're close, I'll gladly meetup with you. All I need from you is the item, with your name, address and worth of item. That way I can get the ball rolling on your "in kind donation" letter. Thank you all who have donated. And, if you opt to simply donate to the program then list for sale after reading this, that's fine too. Since I'm known enough, and my address is out there enough already, I'll make this easier. PHWFF NW Region C/O Jerry Daschofsky 25902 70th Avenue East Graham, WA 98338 Please include your name, address and worth of item(s) so we can do an inkind letter.

Patriotism, weapons, armies, navies, all that is a sign that we're not civilized yet. Kids will ask their parents… 'Didn't you see the necessity of machines? Dad, couldn't you see that war was inevitable when you produce scarcity? Isn't it obvious?' Of course the kid will understand that you were pinheads raised merely to serve the established institutions.
We're such an abominable, sick society that we won't make the history books. They'll just say that large nations took land from smaller nations, used force and violence. You'll get history talked about as corrupt behavior all the way along until the beginning of the civilized world. That's when all the nations work together.
World unification, working toward common good for all human beings and without anyone being subservient to anyone else. Without social stratification whether it be technical elitism or any other kind of elitism, eradicated from the face of the earth. The 'state' does nothing because there is no 'state'.
The system I advocate, a resource based global economy is not perfect, it's just a lot better than what we have. We can never achieve perfection."—Jacque Fresco (via zeitgeistmovement)

One day one woman asked him
'what do you to survive?'
he said 'oh my dear listen here'
and this is what he cried
On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing
'dancing to be free'
my feet they're paying tribute to
the Bobby Marley legacy
My knees they've got some cuts and bruises
from skating all my days
when i'm skating with my friends
my troubles drift away
I say my legs they're wearing baggy pants
I like to move around
cos getting down and jumping up
these are some good things that I found
boom shak the empire be rising
boom shak we making some lovin
boom shak the greedy men running
boom shak got two shoes for dancin
My waist it's got a slinky belt
with a clip that's quick to open
because loving is the sweetest thing
and from my waist it happen
And my stomachs got some tasty food
that's making me feel good
cos sharing some meals is something
i wish the world could do
And my chest it wears a singlet
ah my chest it beating proud
my chest suggest I am a man
that no institution can knock down
And around my neck is superstition
hanging from a chain
because i've got my gods but in the end
I make my own way
My mouth it's got a great big smile
that shows some great big teeth
to friends it brings a happiness
and to enemies it means defeat
And my eyes they've got some vision
that can see through many lies
ah my eyes they look for better things
the better things to see in life
And my ears are wearing head phones
that do play my favourite songs
not music i'm told to like
but the songs that make me dance along
Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing
'dancing to be free'
my feet they're paying tribute to
the bobby marley legacy

Fear is an emotion, it comes from your soul.
You feel it, yet it is not physical.
It grabs you, but it has no arms.
Fear is organic. Fear is natural.
You cannot cure it with a dose.
You must have a treatment, but not by a doctor; but by yourself.

One dream involves me in the middle of the Zombie Apocalypse, and another involves me being chased by Hitler, who for some reason, wants to kill me himself. I had dream #2 last night. When Hitler was about to kill me, I decided to play dead, and it worked for a couple of days. He figured out I was faking and he was after me again not long after that. I think I died, too.
You know what, I had the exact same dream. It was World War II in Manila, and I was an American lieutenant leading his troops scouting a rather illustrious mansion. It turns out that the mansion was hq for top German officers. A few of us were in the dining when they charged out (which is a Japanese thing to do, I rekon). I hid under the dining table. All I could remember was that chandelier, the glittering china cabinet, and that for a moment, I thought we were cornered. I died.
Then when I woke up, I was still the American lieutenant but it wasn't WWII anymore. It was present day Manila somewhere near the Singgalong/Vito Cruz area.
You had Hitler. I was a male American lieutenant with the countenance of one hot Dylan McDermott.

Too much House, I'm guessing. :P
Occurs when your bare ass and thighs have been sitting on rattan furniture. I have them right now. That is all I have to say.
I love animals. I love the 5 dogs we already have, the dogs owned by relatives and those owned by friends. Most of the "clan," as I collectively refer to ourselves, live in a subdivision that is surrounded by other subdivisions and this division isn't really the problem.
Chalk it up to my being a night-owl, but this habit of mine may have saved us from robberies and other atrocities that have been plaguing this area. It would have been great if our whole subdivision was walled in or fenced in, but it isn't.
Polo is a healthy Japanese Spitz who knows his name, knows his owners and his owners' next of kin. He was spoiled, loved and known. His name tag wasn't always attached his collar (which was always on him anyway) but the moment you hold it to look at it, he approaches you and presses the side of beautiful face next to you. I don't really know what to do the first time this happened, but he seems to love being scratched behind the ears.
He walks around the neighborhood and into the area adjacent to the village, presumably to mate, and he comes back to my aunt's house where he lives. Animals know when it's time to eat. Our own household menagerie which includes adult dogs Jack and Georgia, their puppies Gaston, Bubba and Max and cats Penny, Michiko and Junior all know when it's time to eat. They restlessly crawl around our backyard, without fail, at 5 pm. It's mostly the puppies and the cats who make noise. You know it's pretty late if Jack barks. He's patient when it comes to meals.
Polo, however never came back. A dog was witnessed nearby to have been slaughtered for meat around the time of Polo's disappearance. One can only guess.
I don't oppose eating dogs. Humans have fed on stranger things but feed on pets…on an animal that was owned and loved, is just wrong and evil and too f***ed up for words.
I haven't really mourned a dog whose final moments were that of fear and pain and this is because I've never come to know one whose fate is unknown and tragic. Jonathan, a previous dog who was around before Jack was even born, died on our back porch. When I called out his name in shock of the state he was in, he managed to lift his head and look at me. Then he settled back to die. Jonathan was different from Jack, just was the both of them are very different from Polo. Jonathan had a temper and I was the only one he would allow to touch him. Jack talks and communicates, so does one of his brood, Max. Curiously, all three puppies love eating fruit. Georgia sneezes like a human and has a melancholic-phlegmatic personality. Polo was mild and innocent.
Our subdivision/village desperately needs a perimeter fence. We don't have that on the areas surrounding this area. We're walled against New Bilibid Prison property, Katarungan Village, and Ayala Alabang. The edge of the house I live in is apparently the very end of our own street but there is no fence separating here and there. People have been robbed, assaulted, killed, and raped right in their own homes. I grew up with some of those people.
The very culprit here isn't the absence of a fence. Not only is it the group of people who decided that a well fed dog would go well with cold beer. It's also neglect. The neglect of putting up a fence for security, the neglect of concern that someone might be missing their dog.
This blog has helped me moved on from denial to anger. Yet this blog post is for Polo. While we may never know what has happened to him, let it be certain that he was loved.

Shawn Ireland Pottery
Artist Statement
I make pots with food, flowers and candles in mind. I choose to make these pots with a foundation in folk tradition. For me, this involves using a variety of hand processed local clays and glaze materials, single firing in a wood burning kiln, and using a kick wheel. These ingredients promote surprises and keep my craft connected to the natural world.
The clay I mix by hand is a blend of ingredients from North Carolina and Georgia. Thirty percent of the body is local red earthenware. The nontoxic glazes, which melt at 2300 degrees, are composed primarily of these local ingredients: feldspar, silica, red clay, kaolin and ash from my woodstove. Other more processed materials are mixed with these.
The pots are fired in a two chambered kiln fueled with wood which is salvaged from burn piles at a nearby sawmill. The combination of wood flame and ash, which melts into the clay and glaze, can produce colors and surfaces reminiscent of objects found in nature. Like these objects, wood fired pots can look similar to each other but never identical. This unpredictability and variation makes every kiln load a new opportunity to explore.

Low Down Dirty Mean Lyrics - The Allman Brothers Band
by Dickey Betts and Johnn Neel
(c) 1990 CBS Records, Inc.
Ain't that low down, low down dirty mean
The way you've been treatin' me,
Beats all I've ever seen.
I loaned you my brand new car,
Said you was goin' for a Sunday drive,
Yeah, here it is now four days later,
I don't know if you are dead or alive,
I got on the telephone this morning,
Put the word out on the street,
And I heard you was down in Memphis,
With a big man in the driver's seat.
Got me a hidin' in the bushes,
sponsored linksPeekin' in the window pane,
Shadow moves along the wall,
I know you're in there with another man,
Tried to get in the front door,
Went around to the back door too,
I believe you've got a side track man in there,
Making my sweet love to you.
Makin' my last proclamation,
Gonna lay it on the line,
Baby I'm runnin' out of patience,
And you are runnin' out of time,
Tired of all of your mean things,
And all your dirty tricks,
If I ever turn on you baby,
You're gonna be in some kind of fix.
Chorus (twice)
Yeah so low down, I know, low down dirty mean, ahhhhhh!

I was just given this bow and I'm trying to find out a bit about it. It has a metallic green riser and laminated wood limbs. The SN on it is FCX63171-7. As a long time Martin (Phantom) user, I think this bow is beautiful with the wood limbs, grip and inserts. Does anyone know more about it?

Defense Acquisitions:
DOD Needs to Reassess Joint Cruise Missile Costs before Starting New Production Phase
GAO-11-112: Published: Oct 13, 2010. Publicly Released: Oct 13, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(937) 258-7915
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Over the past two and a half decades, the Department of Defense (DOD) has invested heavily to acquire a cruise missile capable of attacking ground targets stealthily, reliably, and affordably. After abandoning an earlier, more expensive missile and a joint service effort, the Air Force began producing the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) in 2001. After that, the program (1) encountered many flight test failures, (2) decided to develop an extended range version, and (3) recognized significant cost growth. The production decision for the JASSM-ER is planned for November 2010. Also, the Secretary of Defense has recently announced a major initiative to restore affordability and productivity in defense spending. This initiative is expected to, among other things, identify savings by conducting needed programs more efficiently. As DOD faces the initial production decision on JASSM-ER, GAO was asked to assess (1) most recent test results, correction of causes of previous flight test failures, and efforts to improve JASSM's reliability; and (2) JASSM cost changes, efforts to control costs, and additional cost risks for the program.
Since 2007, design changes and other corrective actions by the Air Force have improved the baseline JASSM's test results significantly--the missile has now demonstrated 85 percent success versus 58 percent achieved previously and before the corrections. The JASSM-ER variant has done well thus far, with no failures during the first seven flight tests. These results reflect the Air Force's enhanced oversight of the program and significant investments made to improve reliability. These efforts also identified many of the root causes for flight test failures. While baseline JASSM missile reliability has improved, it is not expected to achieve the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics' required level of 90 percent until 2013. Tests conducted thus far of the improved baseline JASSM and the JASSM-ER variants have been developmental--or controlled--in nature. Neither the improved JASSM baseline missile nor the JASSM-ER has been demonstrated in operationally realistic testing or in a combat operation. JASSM costs have increased by over seven percent since the program was restructured in 2008. As the table shows, since 1998, JASSM quantities have more than doubled and estimated program costs have grown from $2.2 billion to a $7.1 billion. The Air Force has taken several steps to control JASSM costs, but options to reduce costs at this point appear limited. In fact, several factors suggest additional cost growth is likely. First, the Air Force has not been able to provide enough funding to produce the missiles at planned rates. That has led to a less efficient production process, a longer production period, and higher costs that have not yet been reflected in the $7.1 billion estimate. Second, the Air Force's potential plans to retrofit existing missiles with the reliability improvements may not be feasible, given the missile's sensitivity to being reopened. If retrofits prove infeasible, new replacements may have to be purchased; if they are feasible, the Air Force may have to provide additional funding to retrofit all existing missiles. Finally, since the Air Force last compared JASSM to possible alternatives, the unit cost was assumed to be about 40 percent less than currently expected and that now could make alternatives more competitive in terms of cost and/or capabilities. A reevaluation of the JASSM program, given that most of its costs have yet to be incurred, is warranted before the decision to produce the JASSM-ER is made. GAO recommends that the Secretary of Defense reevaluate the JASSM program's affordability and cost-effectiveness before making the decision to produce the JASSM-ER. DOD partially concurred with GAO's assessment, but believes the JASSM-ER should begin production in November 2010. GAO believes that it is incumbent upon the department to reexamine JASSM before making the production decision to ensure that the program is structured as efficiently as possible and is still a good investment given the other demands DOD faces.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In providing comments on this report, the agency partially concurred with our recommendation, but proceeded to their production decision without reassessing costs or their previous analyses of alternatives.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Defense should defer the production decision for JASSM-ER until (1) the program's likely costs and affordability are reassessed to take into account the feasibility and cost of retrofitting JASSM baseline missiles or replacing them, the cost of additional reliability testing against the likely improvement, and the effect of sustained low production rates; and (2) the results of the previous analysis of alternatives are reassessed in light of the likely costs of the JASSM program.

The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is in full swing for 2010, to bring holiday cheer to those who don't have the means to afford new toys. Toys for Tots is a nonprofit organization designed to provide toys, books, and gifts to less fortunate children during the holiday season.
"It is a great campaign because it provides a toy or gift to children during one of the most special times in a child's life," said Maj. Donald C. Prograis, coordinator, Toys for Tots San Diego. "The holidays are filled with hope and wonder, and a gift to a child sustains that hope, wonder, and happiness."
According to Prograis, the organization was created in 1947 by Maj. Bill Hendricks, a reserve Marine from Los Angeles. The program was conceived in part due to Major Hendricks' wife, Diane, said Prograis. Diane made some toys and asked her husband to give the toys to an organization who would distribute them to children in need. Hendricks soon realized there was no such organization.
"Major Hendricks and his Marines collected approximately 5000 toys that year and distributed them to children in the Los Angeles area," said Prograis. "By 1948 the Marine Corps had adopted the program nationwide."
Currently, there are over 700 sites across the country, and more than 170 of those are run by Marine Corps units. All others are run by Marine Corps Leagues, Veterans of Foreign Wars, or other organizations. Approximately 80,000 children in San Diego county benefit from Toys for Tots each year, said Prograis.
"Toys for Tots supports more than 7 million children," said Prograis. "Sadly that is only half of the 14 million living in poverty. It has been said that it takes a community to raise a child. Part of raising that child is showing them what charity is all about, and it takes the charity of the community to take care of our thousands of children in need this holiday season," he said.
