On 9/22 was held the Virtualization Security Podcast featuring Anil Karmel, Solutions Architect at Los Alamos National Library (LANL), to discuss their implementation of secure multi-tenant Cloud. LANL makes extensive use of the entire VMware product suite from vCloud Director down to the vShield components to implement their SMT cloud. They have also added into their cloud their own intellectual property to improve overall cloud security. It was a very interesting conversation about the state of SMT today.
Why VASA is important to have in your VMware CASA
There are many enhancements and new features that are part of VMware vSphere V5.0 from a storage and I/O perspective (See VMware vSphere v5 and Storage DRS posts). One of those enhancements is a new Application Programming Interface (API) called VASA (vSphere Aware Storage API) which joins other VMware vSphere APIs some of which are shown in table 1. Note that there is a three letter acronym (TLA) shown in table 1 that is part of the VMware vSphere 5.0 release that can be confused with VASA called VSA (VMware Storage Appliance) however for now, let's leave VSA for a future discussion.
Agent and Agent-less Backup in the Virtual Environment
There is some debate amongst backup vendors on what defines an agent, some consider any amount of scripting to be an agent, while others imply it is what does the data transfer plus any amount of scripting necessary. Is there a need for both Agent and Agent-less within a virtual environment? This also begs the question, who is responsible for properly handling the application whose data you are backing up?
Licensing: Pools and Architecture Changes?
In the past, virtualization architects and administrators were told the best way forward is to buy as much fast memory as they could afford as well as standardize on one set of boxes with as many CPUs as they dare use. With vRAM Pool licensing this type of open-ended RAM architecture will change as now I have to consider vRAM pools when I architect new cloud and virtual environments. So let's look at this from existing virtual environments and then onto new virtual and cloud environments. How much a change will this be to how I architect things today, and how much of a change is there to my existing virtual environments? Is it a better decision to stay at vSphere 4? Or to switch hypervisors entirely?
Replication Receiver Clouds: Protecting your Data
Security in the cloud and the virtual environment is 'all about the data' and not specifically about any other subsystem. It is about the data. As such the data has something it knows (the contents of the data), something it is (its signature), and something it has (its digital rights) and since it has these three elements, the data has all it has identity. However, protecting the data requires us to put things between the data and the real world such as firewalls, and complex role based access controls, as well as methods to replicate the data to other locations in a non-intrusive mechanism. The goal to such replication could be to ensure multiple sites have the same data (such as a hot-site) or to have the data available in another locations in case of disaster.
VMware's CloudFoundry and Red Hat's OpenShift – Compare and Contrast
Over the last few weeks, VMware (as we indicated in an earlier post) and Red Hat have initiated two very similar initiatives known respectively as CloudFoundry and OpenShift. These are Platform as a Service (PaaS) plays, being developed for the longer term, primarily looking to encourage the development of (and thereafter to provide infrastructure for) applications specificallysuited to the the cloud. In this article we compare and contrast the two offerings and discuss their significance for the PaaS market as a whole.

FOOD: Graveyard cakeSeptember 03, 2011Saskia C.
The original plan was to make the vanilla frosting red. Unfortunately, my frosting didn't want to be red. I used two entire vials of red colour, but all the icing did was get really, really pink. The last thing I wanted was a pink graveyard cake, so I added a vial of blue to make it purple. It actually worked, even though it still looks pinkish on the pictures...
I had lots of fun making the graves. Not only because I got to bury E.A. Poe and Bela Lugosi in my chocolate cake, but also because it involved breaking off parts of the biscuits and eating them. Teehee.
Bela Lugosi's dead, undead, undead... Oh come on, didn't you see that one coming?
Worms, yummy!
My next experiment will probably involve geekiness and cupcakes, I can't wait.

looks yummie! wanna taste it ghi ^_^ReplyDelete
*hosts a virtual teaparty and shares cake* ^^ReplyDelete
Do you remember mine for 1 year FFTG? My frosting was purple and I used purple custard for the filling, I don't like jam that much in a cake. And I also didn't add worms.ReplyDelete
Looks great and I do like the pink! Getting red frosting is difficult.
I do remember it! I've wanted to make it ever since you made yours, it was so tasty!ReplyDelete
This is a really good idea!ReplyDelete
I'm not overly fond of cake, but this seems like something worth executing. Maybe in a cupcake form?
Mmmm. Biscuits .. and do I see waffers? :-D
Thank you! I think it's an excellent Halloween treat, but then again, isn't every day Halloween to us?ReplyDelete
And yes indeed, those are waffers!
Echt iets voor jou! Smakelijk.ReplyDelete
Haha, dank je!ReplyDelete
That looks so much fun! Yummm ^^ReplyDelete
That is such a nice cake!ReplyDelete
The Bela Lugosi tombstone really was the best :D
(Ps: I can't comment with my account atm, so I'm using the Name/Url one)
I made my boyfriend a Nightmare Before Christmas birthday cake like this! Here's the link: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/jack-skellington-cake_2ReplyDelete

These days I find all sorts of dubious, sometimes unwelcome mail in my post office box – a higher water bill due to our fledgling garden, a letter from the Albuquerque Academy asking for a donation to their endowment (wish I could, guys, but really? not this year. . ), a letter from the IRS (I'm pretty sure I got those 2009 taxes right, but they're not agreeing with me).
Yesterday I twirled the combination on my little box in the Logan Post Office and found a postcard with the above painting of Lilly on the front. Good mail. Happy-to-receive-it mail. Who wouldn't want that face in their mailbox?
The artist is Cheryl McChesney from Santa Fe. We met at the Girls, Inc. show last summer – three days on the plaza where I sold jewelry and she sold her paintings and prints in a booth across the sidewalk from us. We were slammed, Sabrina and I, selling jewelry hard and fast, but when there was a break, I'd wander to Cheryl's tent and admire her paintings of livestock and chickens.
We got acquainted – she told me the story of how she grew up on a farm in the Midwest near the Mississippi and I told her the story of how I grew up on a farm in eastern New Mexico. She showed me her Kindle ("It's a great way to read during these shows without anyone really knowing you're doing so. . ") and I showed her our jewelry, and by the end of the show she had a bag full of Pick Up Sticks charms and I had two prints of Longhorn calves to give to Zachary for Christmas.
The postcard advertises two shows – the Eldorado Studio Tour 2011 on May 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. She's at Studio #34 at 14 Tarro Road. The second show is in the Gallery at Wells Fargo Bank, Santa Fe (241 Washington Avenue) – Cheryl has a solo exhibition from June 2 to June 31.
I love her paintings – they're farm animals, up close and personal and friendly in the way I remember farm animals, and she uses playful colors. I'm wishing I could do the Eldorado Tour, but mostly I'm wishing I could have a couple of prints for my home office. We'll see. . .
Check her out at http://cherylmcchesney.com/. Or go to one of her shows and tell her I sent you. You're really going to like her. And her work. I personally like unpretentious art that reminds me of real life. That's what this is.

The crude and elegant crossbow was invented in the sixth century by the Chinese and found to be an extremely efficient tool. The crossbow was able to shoot arrows as efficiently, and within range in most cases more then the traditional bow and arrow. Deemed as the GarageBand of warfare, the crossbow made shooting an arrow in to a piece of meat extremely easy.
Archers traditional bow and arrows were among the highest used weapons prior to the crossbow. These original warriors were not only soldiers… they were artists. Archery proficiency took incredible amounts of skill and precise training. Crossbow archers came into the picture and were seen as graffiti artists tagging their original art.
Use primarily for hunting and sports, the crossbow are enjoyed by enthusiastic fan base all over the world. These have made there way into shows such as the Walking Dead and others. Here at Bow Advice, we decided to show how popular it has become.
Highlighted below are just a few films, television shows and video games from popular culture that have featured crossbows in some way.
Directed by Nathan H Juran. This classic film came out in 1958. In the climax of the screenplay, Sinbad kills a dragon with a giant crossbow.
Yes Star Wars! When it came out in 1977 Chewbacca sports a traditional weapon crafted in Kashyyyk called a Bowcaster,. They're known for being more powerful and more accurate than traditional blasters.
Mad Max encountered "Wez" in The Road Warrior prior to embarking on a furious road. He sported a wrist-worn mini crossbow!
Before the legendary geek/director brought the Avengers to the big screen and did an awesome job of it, he created the much loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even though she sported many weapons, would often use a crossbow at times.
In 2007 the Nintendo Wii promoted incredibly fun crossbow training. They allowed you to train as the famous Link from the Zelda series. It was used to promote the zapper gun and was well recieved at the time.
In 2010 zombies went mainstream thanks to the television show the walking dead. Originally a comic book by Robert Kirkman, the show was brought to life by the director of Shawshank Redemption Frank Darabont. Kirkman is also heavily involved in the T.V show which may be why it has maintained some of the darker aspects of the comic book.
One of the most iconic characters of the show is Daryl who has somehow managed to survive a long time. This might be because his weapon of choice is a crossbow. Daryl has become a fan favourite and the reason most come back to watch the series on AMC's Sunday night zombie drama.
In the most current Game Of Throne series, Ramsay Bolton has become the newly hated villain. Prior to this new villain, fans were forced to endure the widely hated "King Joffrey" of Baratheon. Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, First of his name, the realms Protector, Kind of the Andals, Crossbow Fetishist, and a spiteful annoying jackass.
All know too well Jofferey's unforgivable deeds. After executing Ned Start, he set off to war, murdered prostitutes for fun, continuously disrespects his uncle Tyrion, abused Sansa Stark repeatedly, and was basically the most hated by all the kingdoms.
As all Fans know, the new Game Of War: Fire Age commercial hosts Mariah Carey.
While appearing in classy armour, she marches and moves to the trailer music, ironically her song "Hero". Prior to charging the battlefield, she shoots a dragon from the sky with a crossbow before saying "Time to be heroes, guys". Carey replaced the original model Kate Upton for the popular games ads.
Since the invention of the crossbow, there have been lot's of things said about the weapon, both positive and negative. A lot of archers are not big fans of it and the recent killing of a certain Lion called Cecil with this weapon have not helped its cause.
However, there are a lot of positive things about this weapon that we at Bow Advice wanted to share here. If you find it helpful share it via your favorite social media tool.
False: these tools don't cause more damage than typical bows. The ballistics and target damage related to momentum has been measured and these facts have been found.
A carbon arrow delivered from an Olympic bow at a 40-pound re-curve is the same as a 95pound target crossbow bolt. The targets are often penetrated much further with vertical compound bows. Tight gripping and accurate shooting actually causes more damage.
Un-educated bow hunters will most commonly state this. Properly constructed modern bows are excellent for hunting. Old crossbows were not ideal. When paired with well-designed bolts, appropriate weight, and construction, these are just as effective as any bow. Crossbows are by nature, much more accurate than traditional bows.
The crossbow is not typically as efficient in storing power or energy as traditional vertical bows. The power stroke is much shorter than a long bow do to the compact size of the crossbow. In order to maintain the draw weight of a long bow, the crossbow needs to draw almost twice the weight, which makes it more difficult to draw. Crossbows in turn also fire much shorter arrows than a vertical bow.
Sport bows however, fire a 20-inch bolt and have a power stroke of about 14.5 inches. Common target crossbows only shoot a 13-inch bolt and have a smaller power stroke of 12 inches. Typical vertical bows shoot around a 30-inch arrow and have a much large power stroke of about 20 inches.
While this is slightly correct, crossbows take an incredible amount of practice. They are extremely unforgiving tools. A proficient archer can become safe and able to shoot accurately within about a 1.5 hours. This is much quicker than typical archery equipment, however, becoming a master takes longer.
Since the bolt trajectory is not flat, it cannot be compared to a rifle. The bolt speed is less than 400 feet per second. Its only 1/6th the speed of a high power rifle and about 2/3rds of the speed of a common air rifle pellets.
Back in 2011 the World Crossbow Shooting Association, created a documentary to answer some frequently asked questions about this bow and responds to some myths. The video is just over 9 minutes long and is worth watching.
On July 2015, in Fort Lauderdale Florida, the 7th Crossbow World Championships were held. The USA also held this in conjunction with the famous international version, the Crossbow Festival. All sorts of events took place including, Bench/Prone stance, Matchplay, targets, forest field, 3D sectioned ICF events, and a money shoot held indoors.
The medal count for the first five countries are as follows:
The American women did really well by getting gold (Carol Pelosi), silver and bronze in the open female target and Eileen Pylypchuk got Gold for Senior female target. Michelle O'Donnell got a gold in the Ten point world target championships and we also got a bronze in this event as well. Pat Copley also got gold in the senior section of the ten point event as well. This was definitely the year for women.
Let's hope these encouraging wins introduce more women the sport. It would be great to see crossbow competitors in the Olympics. To see the full list at world crossbow click here.
The WCSA silver medal was won by a sophomore named Kazuki Imamura from Tokai University, Japan. She won this medal at this Crossbow World championship under the Forest Division games.
Imamura joined the Rifle Club in April of last year and discovered crossbow. Imamura stated that she wanted to participate in a post that was crystal clear whether she won or lost. She stated that she initially had a hard time drawing and maintaining form with the bow because it took so much strength.
In order to build proper strength and form, Imamura practiced at least three times per week. A former schoolteacher instructed her, whose focus was on marine science and technologies. The instructors name was Tomoo Umehara. Her instructor remembers her well and noticed that she was built for crossbow. Her instructor mentioned she was very strict in her training and form, and that is what made her the expert she is today!
The final debut was the crossbow championship. This Forest Division required her and other participants to complete two rounds consisting of 12 courses all taking place in the forest. The targets were images of animals. The point keeping varied on the distance of the target. Imamura states that it was difficult to be attentive to the game after walking 3 hours throughout the hot forest. Practice was made perfect, even in the toughest of environments; this is what she had trained so long for.
Imamura has proclaimed that she is more than thankful for a great instructor, and she would not have been able to do it without him! The next championship she will be attending is in Japan. It was in September, in Gunma, at the training centre held at the Tokai University.
In a small corner of the convention center here, elves, storm troopers and superheroes lined up while wielding their laser guns, crossbows and tridents. The fans, in full regalia, had arrived for Comic-Con International, the annual showcase for comic books, movies, TV shows and more. They were gunning for some pop-culture overstimulation. But not so fast.
One by one, they first had to step up to a booth manned by private security guards dressed in white polos and black pants. The gate keepers' job: to make sure that the throngs of gentle geeks who toted faux weapons like giant, hollow cardboard scepters posed no actual threat.
The weapons-check station at Comic-Con is an odd intersection of fantasy and reality, where fanboys and fangirls, many dressed in elaborate costumes, must submit to the real-world security needs of a gathering that draws 130,000 people in 500,000 square feet of convention-floor space. Security personnel must affix an orange tag on each weapon to confirm that it is indeed harmless.
"Cosplay," the practice of dressing up as one's favorite fantastical character, is almost as common here as T-shirts and shorts. But many of those costumes involve carefully crafted simulations of deadly weapons like crossbows.
But not everyone received an orange tag after such a quick inspection. Patrick Healy had to take the string off the bow he was carrying to complete his cosplay as Hawkeye, the ace archer from Marvel's "Avengers" series.
"Yesterday I saw someone with a string so I thought it'd be OK," the San Diego restaurant manager lamented. But as one guard said, "You could use that to project anything." Still, after a run-in with security last year, Mr. Healy saved himself a headache by leaving the tips for his plastic arrows at home this time.
At Comic-Con, which ran Thursday through Sunday, attendees are generally known for their extraordinary friendliness and politeness. This, despite crowds that can feel like being caught in a tidal wave and lines for Hollywood studio presentations that last more than a day.
One of the most violent incidents came in 2010 when a man was stabbed in his eye with a pen during a scuffle over a seat at a panel.
Guards at the weapons check with shirts that read "Around The Clock Protection Services" said they were forbidden from speaking about their policies and experience. "We don't comment on security," said a Comic-Con spokesman.
But as they inspected everything from a skull-laden wheel inspired by "Mad Max: Fury Road," to outsize cardboard bazookas, the guards appeared to be having a great time.
Plenty of unscripted humor happens at the checkpoint. Giving one cosplayer the once over, a guard said, "You hold the chicken and I'll take the gun."
Bear Grylls is a massive positive influence on a lot of people across the world. This Brit has inspired a lot of people to get outdoors and rejuvenated interest in survival skills. Occasionally though, one or two individuals get carried away with what it means to be a "survival expert".
A fan of Bear Grylls was arrested and locked up after roaming around in a public park dressed in a wig, mask, latex gloves, and carrying a crossbow. He was found guilty for weapons and drugs. After being discovered by chance by a local sheriff, Jamie Wisbey was remanded for psychiatrics "reports" and sinister bag contents. The park is located in South Inch in Perth, Scotland.
On June 1, Oddball Wisbey was discovered hiding in the bushes of a local park trying to feed ducks as a result of not being able to sleep well. Another Bear Grylls fan was found in Buckie using his fisherman survival skills in the local park at night.
While trying to hide the items in the bag, including the crossbow, Wisbey admitted his acting sneaky and sly throughout the process. A great question was directed towards Wisbey from Fiscal Depute Gavin Letford. He asked if Bear Grylls recommended he wear a wig, a mask, and carries a crossbow around the park at night. Was there a hidden purpose all of these items were taken for your fishing boat endeavor?
As told to the jury, Wisbey was seen sneaking around hiding in the bushes in Perth by 39 year-old Josh McNeil, and 25 year-old Kirsty Edmonston. Mr McNeil mentioned that the area Wisbey was hiding was described as a difficult place for potential ""victim" to escape him. Miss Edmonston said:
We went out to get air. We regularly have trouble sleeping. We saw a man. He was quite some distance away behind some bushes.
He was going in and out of the bushes. It was quite a strange thing to see at that time in the morning. He jumped out in front of us. He had something he was concealing in his pocket.
He said he was a fisherman and needed to go up north for a job. I just said it's not right that you're in the park at this time. He wasn't making sense. He was very strange.
They followed Wisbey to a train station where he tried to hide a bag. 31-year-old PC David Cross mentioned that after police were called, they found a bizarre array of items after searching his bags.
The police officer stated that this bag contained a black wig, laptop, latex gloves, Dictaphone, two USB sticks, and a balaclava with mouth and eyepieces cut out and re-stitched to reduce pull.
June 1st of this year, Wisbey was found guilty for having a crossbow and arrows in the Perth Park and railway station.
Wisby was also found guilty for the possession of methadone and a locking saw blade. Because of the contents in the bag, and the behaviour, Sheriff Foulis recommended a Wisby get a thorough psychiatric report. Wisby was remanded after sentencing was deferred.
In fear of a skin condition called scabies, the court moved away from Wisbey quickly in fear of being infected. The police have ordered a psychiatric file on Wisby due to his actions.

- This blog started a little over a year ago when I was out in Juneau doing columbinus at Perseverance Theatre – a wonderful venue and a long overdue knock-me-on-my-ass adventure. That's where "tundratastic" and "arcticactor" came from. At the time, the blog was just a way to keep friends and family posted on the whole trip. Somewhere in there, I stopped posting about nature and started posting about Theatre In General. I've met a ton of brilliant colleagues and reconnected with a handful of old friends and enemies through this blog.
- No, that's not meant as a flattering preamble for resignation.
- I'm trying to build a new one from the ground up – sifting through existing templates and trying to learn CSS and Flash at the same time. Ideally, it'll be connected to a larger site that consolidates/organizes all my work.
- I'm in NYC for the time being. I don't know for how long. As far as I'm concerned, I haven't changed residence until my books are with me. It would take some pretty solid footing to commit to hauling my crap up the coast. So I don't know right now.
- Columbinus has been a completely different enterprise up here and because of the circumstances of my employment, I was doubly-unprepared for it. After being dropped at the last minute – and after I had made peace with the whole mess (psychologically, financially, etc.), PJ called and asked if I was free to re-join the project at NYTW about two days before tech was to begin. Yes, crazy. I swear to god, every time I think this play is Done, it comes back to life. The state theatre of Turkey wants to produce it. Yes, Turkey.
- If a New York Actor got a Turkish production credit, would he-she put it under the "Regional" section of their resume? I have received conflicting answers for that one.
- New York City. Ever been? I hear it's great! Just great. I haven't been able to stray very far from the East Village since I got here. I'm staying with an old college chum who lives a few blocks from NYTW. But again: because I had to come here so quickly, I had to bring work with me. So between a rather intense preview period (3 weeks, with re-writes and re-blocking and re-teching every day until we opened), the bucket-load of work I brought with me, and the basic rigors of doing this calorie-burner of a play eight times a week, I haven't been able to stop and simply check out the city.
- That said, here's a warning: the next few entries will probably be peppered with all sorts of virginal observations about NY-squared. I doubt my first impressions will be exotic for anyone who's ever been (or currently lives) there. Just so ya know.
- Keith Nobbs was going to play Eric here at NYTW. Yes, the man has a Name, but it's one that he's earned over and over again. His rep as one of NYC's best and brightest is rivaled only by his rep as an all-around quality guy. I've actually had the privilege of hanging out with him a couple times and after patching together each other's side of the story, it was clear: neither of us were put in a position to do our best work. And both of us got screwed somewhere along the line.
- Please watch Keith's forthcoming show, The Black Donnellys this fall on NBC.
- Here's a picture of human consciousness from the 17th century.
- Is anyone out there developing some advanced blogging annotation software? I've been trying to develop some in my spare time. Seriously. I think we just need a new way to track-back and organize comments. Something with logical-rhetorical rules built into it. Get to work kids!
- Conversation So far, NYC conversation involves the accumulation and re-appropriation of select Banter. It's like blogging in real time with a live person – I can see the Friendster profile, the adorable coinages, the bedrock of snark, the hit-counter. No subject is ever exhausted to satisfaction; pesky verbal hyperlinking sends a discussion about Darfur into an exegesis of the latest Vince Vaughn movie. And back again.
- Example. I listened to two young women on two different occasions tell me their life story. I remember trying earnestly to interject with an autobiographical detail or two. I think I made it clear that I was born in Detroit, for one. Beyond that, I didn't get another full sentence into the mix for a good forty minutes. It was "Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom." I was surprised to discover that one of these women told a mutual friend that she thinks we have a lot in common. Maybe we do. I don't think she was born in Detroit, though, so I really don't know where she made this connection.
- Most people I've met don't want to live here. Rather, they don't want to "end up" here. They're here because this is where all the work is. But most of them don't work. Still figuring that one out.
- I have done the following requisite NYC things:
- I have stepped on a live rat.
- I have given directions to a stranger.
- I have given correct directions to a stranger.
- I have seen every form of fresh human excretion on the street.
- I have attended a Party on the Upper West Side.
- I have had meetings.
- Everything is suborned to real estate: industry, status, ambition, diet, romance, exercise, opportunity, spiritual well-being, fate. Coffee consumption! My god. I swear I could make a ball-park wager as to the real estate value of the 14" X 14" square I'm using to write this. When I buy coffee, I don't think about the coffee – I think about how much of that $1.79 goes to pay the property tax on the two-square foot nook I will occupy when I drink it.
- Since I'm basically homeless, I have yet to find a place that offers the following amenities for work:
- Comfortable chair.
- Ample workspace (books, papers, laptop, beverage).
- Light.
- Outlets.
- No techno music in the background.
- Decent coffee.
- Wi-fi access.
- Open 24 hours.
- Now, I'm sure such places exist, but I can't find one. At least, not one that I don't have to subscribe to or perch on some poncey waiting list. At this point, I'd settle for a place with a real chair and table. Everything else is up for negotiation.
- NYC has a panhandler to match each of John Hogeman's 700 Names. They're more enterprising and courteous than DC panhandlers, I must say.
- Strange though: there are no change machines here. Now, I used to work in Potomac, MD – one of the absurdly wealthy neighborhoods in the DC metro region. The local banks and supermarkets had change machines. I don't get it. NYC has a vast underground penny-nickel-dime economy – one that I was forced to participate in last week. So what's the story here? If you're only remaining assets include a hefty bag of change, three rare Balinese stamps, and two theatre paychecks that have yet to clear … why are the banks so persnickety about converting money for you, their trusted client? Does change conversion only encourage pan-handling (or, in my case, freewheeling survival accounting tactics)? Is it another stupid NYC pride transaction? Rather than embarrass yourself once, you must embarrass yourself a dozen times at different corner bodegas, paying for a juice and an orange with nickels, while the hair-trigger cashier drums on the counter waiting for you to finish? Why do Potomac housewives have easy access to a service they never use, but Sparkmonkey, the genial and ambitious 2nd Ave bum slash freelance philosopher can't cash in his earnings every night?
- NYC has a lot of blind people. More than I've ever seen in a big city.
- NYC has a lot of deaf people. Not quite as many as DC, but the figure's up there.
- NYC has virtually NO mute people. Like, none. It'd reeeeeeally balance out the population.
- After being here for two months, I now believe that child-rearing is a selfish enterprise. If you live with nine million people, why must you create more? It's not the kids that bug me; it's the parents. See: Bill Hicks. I've been staying with two Brooklyn school teachers – two extremely generous and smart women who honestly believe that most of their students would have been better off unborn. This troubles me because I just discovered my latent paternal instincts! Damn!
- And, no, it's not a class thing. Rich people need to stop having kids, too. Super-rich people need to stop pretending that effective parentage comes from having more money (Spielberg, Brangalina, et al.). Please give all the money you want to underprivileged kids, just don't insult them by calling them your child.
- Ever been to Little Lichtenstein? I can't find it on the metro map …
- I've been chewing on Walter Davis's Manifesto for a Progressive Theatre. Please read it and comment. He categorizes emotions based on their locus to the Self – primary emotions are feelings inseparable from identity (embarrassment, envy, cruelty) while secondary emotions are feelings generated by the ego to displace anxiety and render unpleasant experience as something external (fear) or random (pity).
- I guess he places "guilt" as a variant of embarrassment and I have no idea what he imagines the Subject does when It isn't resolving perpetual psychic conflict. In WED's map, Anxiety is the irreduceable state of things, conflict is primary and harmony/resolution/integration … these are temporary departures from reality, not Reality at its most real. Interestingly enough, for a taxonomy that casts the ego and logos as twin demons, the ultimate purpose of the subject (and presumably progressive theatre) is to "reverse the control that others have over one's psyche."
- Try to avoid using the word "watchable" to describe an actor. It's not a complement. It's like saying Hopscotch was "legible." It's not insulting, either, it's just confusing.
- Speaking of sideways complements, I keep hearing that DC has a "credible" theatre scene. This is another weird complement that appraises nothing in particular. To be credible means … that you've been granted certain credentials, I guess. I've read and heard this adjective several times since I've been in NYC and I have no idea what it's supposed to mean. Calling an artist or community of artists "credible" is like calling your lover ... I don't know … "sentient." Yeah. "Baby, you are the most sentient lover I've ever had."
- Some dude at a Williamsburg café is using that line right now.
- I don't know what to tell you.
- I just spent a week in Poughkeepsie, doing a play workshop at Vassar.
- Vassar has over 400 species of tree on its campus.
- Vassar has two coffee shops.
- My new computer has an iSight camera built into screen. Sometimes one of the pin-hole lights on either side of the camera will blink randomly. This creeps me out.
- I can take pictures of myself and do video-conferencing with this camera, which is cool. The Photo Booth program that came with the OS lets you do funhouse distortions as you take the pictures. Here's one.
- Here's another. I almost want to set up an online dating profile just to use it.

39 Things I've Been Meaning to Say
9 comments:
commerce bank has no charge change machines for customers and non customers alike...there is one on broadway at w 3rd or great jones or something like that
and my best friend from my program is in turkey...i am intrigued by that prospect...
I'm so glad to hear you're alive and keeping your head up in the big city!
We miss you here!

I have now entered the world of bloggers, and after reading yours I need to 1. Learn some more big words 2. Make a note not to tell you that you are watchable 3. Vote 'yes' to making a dating profile using your wacky pics 4. Read the books you gave me in order to talk upon #29 5. Tell ya you are a great writer, and very funny.
1. i would date that cat. what's his/her name?
2. did the rat survive?
3. have you encountered many pigeons?
4. exotic sewer-dwellers (alligators etc.)?
Keep fighting for DC theater! As far as a lot of people can tell, the only reason to go to NYC is because it seems to be the only way to get hired for the really good roles in DC.
But I hope you have lots of success while you're there, and show them all how great the actors from DC are. You were absolutely amazing in columbinus. Amazing.
"Ninety-nine percent of anything that's watchable and can be described as political theater is theater of the left." -Oskar Eustis, AD of the Public, in today's NY Times
Ah, that word! You've started a mini-revolution, Karl. I tend to use words like WATCHABLE for things like community theatre and theatre that's intended to be comfortable and palatable. The local community theatre gig, for instance, is WATCHABLE. Most of the tours that hit the Warner Theatre are WATCHABLE.
Great seeing you in NY. Congrats again on columbinus. I have some pictures from that bar across the street from NYTW, there's one or two good ones of you and Jimmy.
- Chad said...
What's up, Karl. Just thought I'd drop you this link:
It's not exactly what you explained to me before, but it's an attempt at the same idea, I think.
Hey Karl, sorry to be the prompter of old entanglements, but it seems you've left a lot behind in DC. Literally. Both your old job and your old place have stuff that belongs to you. Lots of stuff. You need to sort it out or say goodbye to it.
Hope NY continues to be a success....
The cat alone needs it's own online dating profile.

The best live bands have honed their chemistry through hours spent rehearsing in the studio, improvising onstage, and playing games of MASH on the tour bus. Get out of the shack and pile all eight kids into the Ferrari for this GrouponLive deal to one G-Pass to see 311 and Slightly Stoopid at Gexa Energy Pavilion. For $20, you get one G-Pass for reserved covered seating in sections 200–201 or 204–205 on Thursday, July 12, at 7 p.m. (up to a $53.54 value, including all fees). Because the ticket is a G-Pass, Groupon customers can use it to enter the venue directly; they will not need to redeem their Groupon at Will-Call. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
This summer on the Unity Tour 2012, 311 and Slightly Stoopid roll through the continent with their signature trippy reggae beats and sun-splashed thrashing. 311's five-piece band broke out of Omaha in the mid-'90s with their blend of sing-along choruses and optimistic rap lyrics, propelled into the microphone by dueling vocalists S.A. Martinez and Nick Hexum. Their triple-platinum, self-titled album scored the first and second spots on the Billboard charts with the hooky effects pedals of "Down" and the funky bass of "All Mixed Up."
Slightly Stoopid throws similar rock- and reggae-laced beats throughout a discography that goes back to a self-titled release in 1996. During their live sets, the deep grooves of guitar and conga players stretch the songs in surprising directions, like a walrus trying to shimmy into sweatpants. Opening act The Aggrolites aim to uncover the golden-era ska sounds buried beneath the '90s fuzz of the headliners in a live show they've honed over years of touring with the British and Jamaican legends they idolize.
Due to security restrictions, G-Passes must be printed out and presented in person at the event. They cannot be redeemed through Groupon's mobile app.

One assumption to make of people who have mobile broadband is that they are going to be travelling! So what are the capabilities and restrictions when travelling with mobile broadband? Let's take a look!
Travelling Around Australia with Mobile Broadband
Mobile broadband has some great benefits – but one of the only flaws is that you can't get it everywhere that you go. This isn't that unbelievable though – as most phone networks don't even offer 100 percent Australian coverage.
However, there are differences between mobile broadband providers regarding where you can and can't connect to mobile broadband when travelling.
All of the major mobile broadband providers offer strong coverage in all of the capital cities and their metropolitan areas. However, once you leave these areas there are some networks that will have coverage and others that will quickly lose connection.
It is generally the cheaper mobile broadband plans that offer the least coverage. For example, Three mobile broadband and Dodo mobile broadband have great value deals – but are not highly suitable for those regularly travelling outside of the metropolitan areas.
Three mobile has recently introduced the ability to use mobile roaming in areas outside of the 3G coverage area. There are additional fees for this however. Other networks also offer mobile roaming as an option.
Telstra has the best network coverage across Australia covering 99 percent of the Australian population. However, expect to pay more for the benefit of additional coverage. If you will only occasionally be heading into regional areas then it may be cheaper to use the mobile roaming option on other networks than Telstra mobile broadband.
Travelling Overseas with Mobile Broadband
Several Australian mobile broadband providers offer the option to get international mobile roaming so that you can stay connected when overseas.
Vodafone, Telstra and Three mobile all offer overseas mobile roaming thanks to connections with other network providers around the world. You can usually access mobile roaming in the most visited destinations such as China, UK and Singapore – but not all countries are covered.
In some cases you will need to activate international mobile roaming with your mobile broadband network prior to travelling. Ensure you have mobile roaming activated before you jet off to avoid disappointment!
Costs of Travelling with Mobile Broadband
Costs for travelling with mobile broadband can differ – and it's important that you understand the costs involved before you get a shock on your next bill!
Some networks offer overseas mobile broadband roaming bundles which allow you to stay on track of what you are spending on your mobile broadband when overseas. Depending on the strength of their networks overseas the rates will vary. Vodafone for example has very competitive overseas mobile roaming rates and good value mobile roaming bundles.
The cost of mobile roaming overseas will also vary depending on the country that you are in. For example, Three mobile broadband overseas roaming costs vary from as little as $0.50 per Mb in countries such as Austria and the UK up to a whopping $25 per Mb in Vietnam! So you really do want to check the costs before logging on overseas.
Costs of travelling with mobile broadband also varies across Australia. As we mentioned before, some networks have less coverage but do offer mobile roaming at an additional fee. Some networks have included mobile roaming data allowance as part of the monthly fee – so you won't be left stranded with no connection if you fall out of the standard coverage area.

The Sri Lankan Youth Organization (S.L.Y.O.) was created to positively impact the lives of Sri Lankan youth living within the American and global cultures. The primary mission of this organization is to provide professionally supported, one-on-one relationships between the young brothers and sisters of the community. This allows them to achieve their maximum potential as they grow to become confident, competent, and caring individuals. Countless immigrants and American born Sri-Lankans strive to attain the so called American dream but in their pursuit of this they may lose sight of their native roots. Hence, S.L.Y.O. provides an inclusive platform of cultural and moral unity through which members can strengthen their professional and personal networks. We at SLYO understand how essential it is to give young people a shot at success. In a society that is becoming increasingly independent and culturally ambiguous, S.L.Y.O provides a sense of belonging by fostering enriching new relationships.
The S.L.Y.O. members also engage inter-culturally with other ethnic backgrounds, opening the door to new opportunities. The future of our society depends on the actions of our community in the form of service, public works, mentoring, and many other charitable projects. The committed volunteers obtain leadership experience with nationally recognized standards of excellence. S.L.Y.O has built a strong foundation, from which it is increasing it's impact within the Sri Lankan Community. With new chapters opening up globally, we see fruitful opportunities for a strong future.

Lured by state subsidies - and unscrupulous local officials - wind power is the modern-day gold rush in upper New York State. Authorities are now investigating whether wind-power companies improperly influenced local officials for permission to build windmills, says this item from The New York Times. Opponents of projects say they've received threats.

A message from Reverend Julia Jesson
As the new vicar at St. Johns I would like to take this opportunity of welcoming you and hope that you will make contact.
It is with much joy that I have started my ministry here in Liverpool having travelled over the Pennines from Nottinghamshire to be with you.
As I start out on my new ministry it is my desire to get to know the parish, community and wider area as quickly as possible. It does take time though and every conversation or event helps in that process.
We are in the process of updating the website so that it is helpful in finding out who we are and what's on. So, if you can't find what you are looking for please contact me to find out more about our services, activities or how to book baptisms or weddings and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
My contact details are:
(e) email@example.com (t) 0151 259 8929
As the school holidays are drawing to an end many of you will be turning your minds to a new phase in life. For many new schools and maybe leaving home for the first time and for others new jobs or discovering an empty nest!
Whatever circumstance of life you find yourselves I hope this verse from the bible brings comfort and hope. It has helped me as I learn my way around a new city and community.
Trust the Lord with all your heart,And don't depend on your own understanding,Remember the Lord in all you do,And He will direct you.
Proverbs 3 Verse 5

Ventura City Fire reminds beachgoers to safely enjoy our beaches. According to the United States Lifesaving Association, rip currents account for more than 80 percent of rescues performed by beach lifeguards. Rip currents are powerful, channeled currents of water flowing away from the shore – typically found near coastal structures such as jetties and piers.
Follow these safety precautions to stay safe: learn to swim, swim near a lifeguard, never swim alone, swim sober and don't fight the rip current. When caught in a rip current, first swim out of the current in a direction following the shoreline. When you are out of the rip current, swim towards the shore (see illustration).
Swim Where It's safe: Daily lifeguard services began Memorial Day weekend at all Ventura Harbor beaches off of Spinnaker Drive, funded by the Ventura Port District, which contracts with California State Parks. Services are provided through Labor Day weekend. Harbor Cove will have a daily lifeguard from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and the South Beach/Surfer's Knoll area will have a lifeguard from 11 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. daily.
For more ocean safety tips and rip current information, visit the United States Lifesaving Association at www.usla.org.

After two months in jail, former Liberal Sen. Raymond Lavigne is expected to petition the Ontario Parole Board Tuesday to serve the last four months of his sentence from home, according to reports.
Lavigne was convicted of fraud in March 2011 after making false travel claims for more than $10,000. He was also found guilty of breach of trust for having his research assistant cut down trees on his Quebec property when the assistant was being paid to work for the Senate. He resigned from the Senate shortly after the conviction.
Lavigne was sentenced to six months in prison, plus six months under house arrest and was ordered to donate $10,000 to a charity in May 2011. He began serving his sentence at the Ottawa-Carleton Regional Detention Centre in June this year after the Ontario Court of Appeals upheld the 2011 ruling.
The Huffington Post reported that retired senator Michel Biron said life behind bars has not been easy for Lavigne. Biron said that Lavigne had a health problem involving his eye, and told the Huffington Post that the situation became so bad that by the time a doctor got in to see his friend, the former senator had to be rushed to hospital so he wouldn't lose his eye.
Gregory Thomas, president of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said it was "unfortunate" that Lavigne had been suffering from health problems, but that shouldn't excuse him from serving his full sentence.
He should do his time, it would be the only honourable thing he's done
"Senator Lavigne's health issues need to be addressed but he needs to serve out his sentence like any other common criminal," he said. "He should do his time, it would be the only honourable thing he's done."
Sharon Carstairs, a retired senator who sat in the red chamber when Lavigne was a senator, said she thought the sentence Lavigne received was appropriate, but that the crime he committed doesn't "benefit particularly from serving time in jail." She noted that she did not know Lavigne well.
"If he can convince the court that he should serve it at home, then more power to him," she said.

Should I invite her over to my house? Should I invite her to the park?
She's kinda shy and introverted, so I want to make sure she's comfortable.
Should I ask before I kiss her? Should I just go for it?

I'm currently working on learning how to develop apps for the ever-popular Android ecosystem! As fun as it is, one of the biggest headaches for any developer is actually (you guessed it!) setting up your development environment. This post will detail a pretty simple, yet easy to make mistake with installing the required tools for Android development.
As this post states, the first thing you'll need to get started is the Java jdk! Android is Java based (All the apps run in JVM's), so it's one of the necessary components to developing native apps for it. Finding and installing it is pretty easy; you can simply head to Oracle's website to do that…right?
Yes! But be wary!
At the time of this post, Android supports Java SE 7, and the latest version out and about right now is Java 8. If you were to install Java SE 8, you'd run into some configuration issues when you're ready to install your IDE. One other thing to note is that Oracle doesn't make it particularly easy to find Java SE 7 on their website, you'll have to navigate your way to the "Archives" section, so I've gone ahead and left that link here (just because I care for you that much). To be sure, once you select the Java SE 7 link, you want to download the "Java SE Development Kit 7u80".
Double Check Your Environment Variables
Once you've installed the right version of Java, a safe way to make sure the IDE you'll be using will see it is by opening up your Command Prompt and typing "java – version". If the response to your command looks like this:
This means that your path to the Java directory isn't set. It's fine; all is not lost. You can set that path by heading over to the directory you installed Java in (by default, it's usually in the "Program Files" folder), navigating to the "bin" folder in the "jdk 1.7.0_80" folder, and copying the address (including the "bin" folder). For example, mine looks like this: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_80\bin
From there, head over to the Control Panel. In the search bar, type "environment variables" and select "Edit the system environment variables" After the dialog box appears, click the "Environment Variables…" button at the bottom. You should see two boxes, one for User variables, and one for System. Since we want the path to be set globally, we'll find the "Path" variable in the "System variables" box and click "Edit." Scroll all the way to the leftmost side of the "Variable value" field and paste your address in. As you can see from the picture below, I've already done so and your address should look similar.
Now, when we open the Command Prompt again and type "javac", we get an slew of text delimiting proper usage of the command. It should look like this:
Woot! Now the OS knows where Java is living, and we're off to step 2!

They arrive to find they are quite isolated with no means of communicating with the outside world. When the cellar door flings itself open, they of course go down to investigate. They find an odd assortment of relics and curios but when one of the women, Dana, reads from a book she awakens a family of deadly zombie killers.

U.S. equities and stock exchange trade funds (ETFs) bounced back to record levels as the technology sector surged and pared some losses over the past week.
The S&P 500 Index, along with related funds including the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: SPY), iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (NYSEArca: IVV) and Vanguard 500 Index (NYSEArca: VOO), were 0.9% higher Monday.
Leading the charge, technology company shares in the S&P 500 gained 1.4%, their largest one-day percentage rise since March, after coming off its second straight weekly decline, triggered by concerns over lofty valuations and traders engaging in the time-honored tradition of profit taking. The tech sector rose 19% this year and has led the market rally.
Nevertheless, tech shares remain about 2% below records achieved earlier in June.
"Some of it is folks taking a second-look at names that may have been unduly punished in the rotation out of tech that started about 10 days ago," David Lefkowitz, senior equity strategist at UBS Wealth Management Americas, told Reuters. "There has been no change in the fundamentals for the tech sector. Earnings growth, earnings revisions and forward looking indicators remain healthy."
The renewed focus on tech shares reflected traders' risk-on sentiment as the week begins, with Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL) among the better performers with a 3.0% increase Monday.
Investors were also closely watching Asian markets as MSCI Inc. decides on whether or not to include China A-shares into its global indices, notably its benchmark MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
The Federal Reserve is also likely to maintain its gradual monetary policy tightening as the labor market improves and inflation should rise alongside wages.
"Risk assets around the world are rallying again as the 'carry party' resumes," Societe Generale SA strategist Kit Juckes wrote in a client note, according to Bloomberg. Fed Chair Janet Yellen "did nothing to persuade the market" to take its hawkish outlook for the path of interest rates seriously.

The recent hospitalisation of PKR president Wan Azizah Wan Ismail was not in vain after all.
Someone whispered that a mini PKR supreme council meeting among those in Anwar inner circle was held near the "sickly" Wan Azizah's hospital bed.
The much-publicised hospital opera may have been crafted to allow the jailed Anwar Ibrahim not only to visit his wife but also to sort out certain important political decisions for the future of PKR.
In that mini meeting during Anwar's hospital visit, a source said it was decided that PKR would now work closely with Pribumi, led by Mahathir Mohamad, and Amanah formed by PAS splinter group as a united Malay opposition front to face Umno and PAS in the next general election (GE14).
The three Malay-based parties in the opposition bloc are said to have decided to use a single standard election logo for themselves in GE14 if Pakatan Harapan did not get to register in time.
The Rocket
One insider said that the DAP, on the other hand, was hoping that Pakatan Harapan would not be registered in time.
If Pakatan Harapan did not get to register in time, said the insider the DAP would be able to use its own 'Rocket' logo to contest in GE14, a symbol familiar with Chinese masses.
The DAP has always been against formal registration of the opposition coalitions since the days of Gagasan Rakyat in the early 1990s, right through Barisan Alternatif, Pakatan Rakyat and until now.
The Chinese-based party did not want to lose its 'Rocket' and Chinese identity by getting into a formal coalition with a single standard election symbol.
DAP is very confident that it would fare far better in GE14 with its Rocket logo.
It's over for Anwar
Anwar meantime came and went after visiting his wife at Al Islam Specialist Hospital in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur.
He has arrived at a conclusion that his political career was virtually over and that he would never become the prime minister ever.
Anwar has resigned to the fact that "it's over" for him.
Thus, he wants the captain-less PKR to consolidate its political position among others in the opposition.
Anwar and his loyalists feel that on its own, PKR may even get slaughtered in GE14.
Moreover, Anwar and several PKR leaders, who met him at the hospital, agreed that PKR deputy president and Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali can't be trusted.
They believe that Azmin would dance along with Mahathir Mohamad and even jump ship, especially if PKR does not fare well in GE14.
These factors had prompted PKR stalwarts to agree to unite with other Malay-based opposition parties under one election symbol.
The strategy is to promote and market a united opposition Malay force to the masses.
"By going into GE14 as a united Malay force, the opposition parties believe that they can upstage Umno and PAS," said a source familiar with the opposition politics.
Since PKR constitution does not allow non-members to contest under its logo, the Malay-based opposition parties may choose between the 'Bunga Raya' (or hibiscus) of Pribumi or 'A' of Amanah.
A safe bet would be Amanah's logo because Anwar and co would have to swallow their pride to use the hibiscus.
The DAP candidates too may use Amanah's logo if the Registrar of Societies finally decided to de-register the party due to its internal election fraud – considered the biggest in Malaysian electoral history.
The federal ruling coalition Barisan Nasional has 132 MPs, including Umno's 88, in the current 222-seat parliamentary composition, followed by DAP with 36 MPs, PKR 28, PAS 14, Amanah six, PSM and Pribumi one each, and Warisan and independent two each.
With a united force, the Malay-based opposition parties are confident of capturing Putrajaya by reducing Umno parliamentary seats to below 50 and PAS to virtual zero.
With DAP confident of increasing its current MP seats of 36, Pakatan Harapan is confident that it can secure 100 and above federal seats, provided the opposition parties retain all their current seats.
That's the goal outlined in Pakatan's strategic papers, but a top Amanah leader said it was easier said than done.
"It's going to be tough in all seats, especially in Malay heartlands. But we will campaign hard till the end to win," he said.
Amanah is here to stay, as the leader pointed out that politics was a long term struggle.
Amanah would not perish or vanish after GE14 as claimed by critics even if the party failed to achieve its electoral objective this time.
"We will still keep on going. That's politics … it's a long-running process, not a short-term struggle," said the leader.
Meanwhile, PAS and other smaller parties, and independent candidates as well are expected to contest in as many seats that would force multi-cornered fights all over the country.
Such multi-cornered duels will be to Barisan's advantage as traditionally the coalition prevails in such contests – the most recent Sungai Besar and Kuala Kangsar parliamentary by-elections have proven that.
PAS, on the other hand, has decided not to waste its resources by focussing on winning all over the country.
It has decided to pool its resources and concentrate more in northern states of Kedah and to certain extent Perlis, and east coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu.
Of course, PAS will contest more seats all over the country in GE14 than the about 90 seats it contested in GE13.
But an insider said the party's main targets were Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu.
"If we can add Perlis, that's a bonus," he said, adding that PAS target was to increase its current parliamentary tally.
PAS also aims to put itself in a 'kingmaker' position, which means whichever coalition captures Putrajaya in GE14, it would need the Islamic-based party's support to strengthen its grip on federal power.
The Islamic-based party is being expected to field more non-Muslim candidates this time around.
So all the parties have shrewdly strategised their tactical game plans to wrestle and slug it out with Umno-led Barisan Nasional in GE14, which could see a fierce battle for political supremacy in Malay heartlands.

BSc PhD ECPC
Articles -- Presenting
Many people are nervous about delivering a presentation, and there are quite a number of practical tips aimed at overcoming some of the challenges - like using PowerPoint slides to avoid having your mind go blank; focusing on individuals to avoid being psyched out by that "sea of faces", etc.
But the underlying fear often remains, and that fear is probably due to the way you're interpreting the situation.
This fearful interpretation stems from two assumptions. The first is that the idea you're presenting is an intricate part of yourself, so if it is shot down, you will be 'destroyed' or at least badly wounded. The second assumption is that your audience is there in order to judge, criticize and attack you. This situation would strike fear in even the bravest of souls!
But let's re-interpret the situation. First, let's make it clear that you are presenting an idea, and that idea is separate from 'you'.
It's an idea that you may think is great, but if you receive new information that suggests differently, you can change or even abandon the idea. When you place the focus on the idea (rather than yourself), you are no longer the target.
Let's also re-interpret the role of the audience. Think of them as colleagues who share your enthusiasm for the topic and with whom you can partner to improve on your idea, or who can help to develop it further. So invite questions and welcome criticism as an opportunity to expand and improve your idea.
And don't be afraid to admit you don't know something. You can respond, "I don't know but I will note that as an area for future investigation." Or, "Please send me some references to that so I can review it, and perhaps we can discuss it further."
By changing the focus to the idea you will no longer feel threatened; and by embracing your audience as colleagues you will instill an atmosphere of inquiry and creativity.
Think of the venue as a great big playground where you can toss your idea out there and bounce it around with others, building on each others' knowledge and creativity. Every idea is a work in progress and there is nothing more invigorating than inviting others in to join in the process of its evolution.
