why are you doing this?
Oct 31, 2:33 PM
what disappoints you the most?
Sun, 11:29 AM
I want to say I disappoint me most, but I think I disappoint me most consistently, a kind of ambient disappointment, something to do with what I do with my time, a sort of anxious leisure that sits there, this acknowledgement of things I haven't written and will not write, will not read and have not read, ways I haven't taught and won't teach, protests I haven't joined or started and probably won't. It's all about potential and privilege wasted, already, and the acknowledgement that this shame may not inspire me to radical shifts in production or citizenship. Each action or inaction is a kind of cry for/record of what it could have been—I think of art, especially my own, in that way. But I think I'm most disappointed in the way tremendously powerful, seemingly impervious corporations have infected every cell of our human bodies (and the social/animal/plant/mineral bodies of the world as well) and the way this is intricately related to my previously detailed disappointment.

Because I can. Because I can't. I wonder this a lot. What am I doing. With my time here. With my time. It's like we're all insane, inviting people into this or that, repelling here and there. Why do anything. Why have a baby. Why try to spend a day without Monsanto. The baby has a will to live. I hope. The baby is doing this. I passionately don't give a fuck about most things, every thing. Except a few people and animals. Except large groups of people and justice. This is what I can do. Everybody has one. Am I doing what I'm good at or skipping it. Are you. Is "doing this" still a way to resist the way it is. If it's not journalism, can we still say anything. Can we say more. What's so good about saying. Is there any way that my time here can be a challenge to the great forces. Why aren't poets at the front of anti-racist anti-corporate anti-sexist anti-convention anti-GMO anti-pharmaceutical anti … Well, aren't they/we. No. Nobody's perfect. To be perfect to be anti all the things. To be against purity. But to be pissed, truly pissed to the core. But breathing. Why am I doing this. Why do. Why this. Not Why but How.

In Leave Your Body Behind, you quote everyone. You quote Eileen Myles—she doesn't give a shit about her memories. She feels like a camera, a recording instrument, a technology. When you quote, are you standing by what is said? How do you feel?
Sun, 1:41 PM
Who is "ye" in your long "Pain" poem in Fauxhawk? Who are you talking to in this book? Who are you talking about? You write through Fanny Howe's "Robeson Street." Are you talking to Fanny? The universe/ity? Yourself? Me?
Sun, 2:24 PM
I feel great. I feel fine. I quote Eileen Myles quoting Eileen Myles. It's true. I quote Steve Paxton and Bill T. Jones and Rae Armantrout and Yvonne Rainer and Fanny Howe and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Terri Gross. I quote myself back to me. The quotes are flags on a cake. They are conversations with my shelves. We are all wearing our archives. No one wants to buy them anymore. All the better, they are not for sale. I stand by the recordings. I remember the quotes better than I remember my own writing. What does it mean to give a shit about one's own memories. When we write, when we make, we're giving them away. It's a fire sale. What does the garage sale look like outside capitalism? We're giving it all away. That makes some voters nervous. Why? All language is quotation. I'm quoting myself here. What hasn't been said. I tell this to my students like a challenge. I suppose it's a depressing way to start a class. Boris Groys in the new Movement Research Performance Journal says that all artists are philosophers because to make art in a place where there is no place for art, one must already be theorizing art. Maybe quotation is my theory of art in this book. It's not a stealing and it's not a direct conversation. It's more of a seepage. It's—Here, these are some of the things I'm thinking a lot/all the time/now, and here is what this person said/wrote/thought and why not reveal that. In academic writing, we're taught to cite and support and give thanks to other thinkers. Why not here and why not in juxtaposition. Can you have a conversation that is juxtaposition, a la Chomsky and Foucault and the Chatbot? I'm thinking of Annie Dorsen's "Hello Hi There." What if all our references were revealed like slip hems? I've wanted to go back to my older books and annotate them for the references to Dylan lyrics, fairy tales, personal experiences alluded to, folk songs, theory, in jokes … But now I'm thinking of John Keene's Annotations and Jenny Boully's The Body and the foot
notes in your Fauxhawk … see it never ends … even if the chat box does.
Sun, 3:03 PM
Who am I talking to? What am I talking about? I think about it and it changes. I'm not aware of any audience for my writing, so it's not that. "Pain" is written around and within and from redacted government documents, studies in non-lethal high-pain weaponry. There is the question of reception: who receives these volleys? Who "gets" the pain. A projected poetry audience sometimes seems like a projected enemy: they are a type of potential. I wanted to write as many forms of address as possible into the poem, and the thee's and thou's and ye's are all in there. They are material: obsolete mouth sounds that once represented ways of speaking to other human beings. I think I was thinking of some of the Cantos, the crazy violent terrifying notion of "history" embedded in the gut of the modern. And then I was thinking a lot of Thomas Paine, of Common Sense, wondering if either of those words were possible, especially in tandem. The State's first philosopher, right, named Pain. A review of one of my books described the entire form of address as hostile, which confused me, but I get it I get it I get it. I am not in love with my fantasy reader, I'm in love with you—there's not some interior paramour being addressed in my poems. It's just a broken mirror, of course. I wrote through Fanny's poem because I found it in the faculty lounge at my university, and I wanted to become a better human and poet, and no one could provide a better model than she. I had started working for the largest state in the world and I felt like I didn't know how to write or even read a poem. So how did a saint do it? I have no idea who I am talking to, I'm just making something, some kind of memorial, maybe time capsule, from the talk.

It's the new book. Me now: diluted, deluded. It exhibits quality design and high-level decisions made by professional makers of books. Its back cover bears eloquent words of support from luminaries in the field. I can never tell if the writing deserves the packaging, the commitment of paid and unpaid hardworking people to get it on a shelf somewhere. It's a lovely object, the cover has two incredible images from the artist Clement Valla: corrupted/glitchy (though Valla says they aren't glitches, they are as they are; I agree) Google Earth shots of fucked-up roads. Which reminds me: the interior of the book, the writing, was mostly written or begun in California, and many of the poems are all up in California's business. I made a decision at some point to use more of the material of my life in my work, less imagination, less purely-associative kinetic wordplay and percussive jibber-jabber. It was a business decision. I like writing the word business. Business. I decided to do less research, to feel my way in, and I wrote much of the book on the way to work, or at work, or while detoxing from work. I wondered about the term "work" and how artists like to call what they make work. I think we should call it the opposite of such, something liberating and fantastic: "krow" maybe—"work" backwards, obviously. The book is more serious about perspectival issues, who is speaking and how, the sort of deadly satellite's-eye view that I'm trying to get at in the title… Fauxhawk as in Fake Hawk as in drone. Why do we call them drones? Isn't that the word for words you ignore? Why is asking questions like this so reducible, ensconced and blunted in its Seinfeld/Larry David routine? The title is also trying to get at the complex cultural situation embodied in the FH hairstyle: business friendly, socially accepted, scalable, erasable, but built on the ashes of dissent fashion, & on burial mounds. I spin out on words, get dizzy, and I try to transfer the symptoms into my krow.
And I think the book is the most ambivalent about poetry itself, kind of disgraced by it a little, in fact, doing the poetry while wanting to do the something else. I do not know what.
Oh, rice and beans, and piles of veggies. I managed to pre-soak for once. Everything's coming together.

I'm always ready to eat. We just walked with the baby and dog and it's getting dark in a premature way and you're already cooking up the goods. I made us a toast course twice today. But I've nursed the baby about 15 times, so it's a contribution to the whole.

My Les Figues book has sentences. I veer between thinking all my work is the same work, the book is all one book, and thinking I actually am working on something new, that there's a new direction. Nude erection. Leave Your Body Behind is both a sequel and a prequel, I think. It picks up on some things I used to do in my writing when I wrote for performance, like sound-based substitutions and semantic subversions. But it's also moving in the direction of my next project, which is more fact-based memory work. Or writing through memory that questions the memory, pushes up against what it means to remember, to be a subject who has experiences that can be recalled, shared, spun, distorted, repeated with slight variation. Leave Your Body Behind deals with these things in a way that none of my other work has. Although I do think the new book sustains an interest in writing as a sort of shorthand, the idea of inside and outside in language and consciousness, and the codes we use and accept as meaningful. I feel like I'm always butting up, sometimes violently, against what it means to speak. I'm an intensely private communicator, and these forces are at odds. But rather than become more occluded, as when I write in lines or packets or phrases or fragments, when I write in sentences the work has a bold, commandant, instructional, and confident affect that I find sort of appealing and almost true. And here's another contradiction that's hopefully not too abstract—the new work is true even as it plays with persona and fakery. The new work is also not that new, in that I worked on that book for a long time and it took many forms before coming out as a book. And that work changes in performance over time as well. I used to read it incredibly fast. I used to read the quotes more often. I've tried improvising with the work and going from memory. And I have a few video pieces I'm working on where I overlay the text on top of minute little daily physical moments, tiny dances.
There's something about the new book not being poems—it's a novel, it's a memoir, it's a nomoir—that feels like something I'm going to keep doing for a bit.
Sun, 6:38 PM
I just remembered. Minerals don't have cells. You mention
You mention performance. Can you mention it some more, how is performance linked to your written work? Is it it? Is it all a performance, a De Certeau living room. I want to know if you're acting or if you're dancing, always always? Where is the writing located, where is the living?
Can you talk a little bit about the line? Give me a line. Tell me what your thinking is about the line. Is a line a visible thing? A felt thing? A worded thing? A wooded thing? A rhythmic thing? A planned thing? Whose line is it anyway …
Puh foh mans. Yes. It all is. I perform in the living room and De Certeau happens to be there. Am I performy? Yes, probably but it might just be social anxiety. It might be something else. It might be meta experience. I am always standing somehow outside my own experience and that is where making comes from. But it does make living maybe less live. Or more attended. I have a background in performance, which means that's what I grew up doing, in the living room, on stage at school. I was Shakespeare's Snug and Mrs. Potiphar's wife and Anne Frank's sister Margot. I would get lost in the roles. I would forget me. In "college," I did dance and wrote plays and wrote text that I "performed" i.e. memorized and danced to or moved to. It all seemed quite "natural" to me. I never noticed it. Edward Albee picked one of my plays for something and it was produced in Boston and New York and I hated it—seeing someone else's imagination of what had been so clear to me, it was embarrassing. A word I can never spell. And then I was stalked by some creepy freak and got a terrible case of the nerves and didn't want to perform for a long long time, 10 years or so. This is like a biopic or something. Which is all to say I have a codependent erratic relationship with performance. And yes, it all is. In that Boris Groys interview, he also says there is no more spectator because everyone is a creator now, making their posts and uploading their vids. And what is the spectator for, I wonder. A musician friend, Nicolee Kuester, is into introverted performances, the ones no one can hear or see or are at the edges of experience-able. I've always thought "creative writing" should be taught in the art department, and performance too. And I'm curious to know how one theorizes writing as not a performance. You're doing something with your fingers and putting it out to a "spectator" or "audient," as Charles Bernstein would have it. And then there's the reading of the work aloud. How can we as writers tr
trouble that line between inside & outside and is there a line there and maybe this is my vision of the line. I think I'm concerned with all this yes, and it does hit identity and existence and who are we and how. See now I can't go back and edit anything up there since I already hit return and so oh well, there it is, an improvisation, settled.
Thanks for dropping a line. I remember that from what I was typing before. I can't believe it: I had an answer almost done, but I did something else and then my answer was gone. This seems to keep happening to me in this modern age. Apparently "hangouts" have an expiration date? Or maybe I hit the red "close" button instead of the two arrows that get me off full screen. I have been writing prose on paper and now this missing answer. I lost both, one in the world and one in the larger elsewhere. I wish I had written it in lines. I never lose lines. I'm going to try to remember something of what I said but it will lack the energy of the morning in which it was written, because now we have been through a few things, rocking the baby, a hundred diapers, worries about food … and it's sad for me, I think I was saying things a few decent things.
Something about
the thing I used to give my students, the etymology of line, way way back to the Fibre of Flax, how our concept of line, even geometrically, not just poetically, stems from this flexible, flaxible (I did that in the old answer too–but I added the "stems" pun just now) stringy thing. As if the language, the human, doesn't contain the shortest distance between two points. I just love thinking that, that we are inherently an inefficiency. I would just give the students this, ask them to think about it, so that I would remember to think about it. Like stealing from your job. And I thought, I think about line all the time… to me, it is the meeting point of the body and the text, the pause, the stop that makes the go go. The linebreak, I mean, that which makes the line a line. How about that, cutting something makes it what it is? And, to me, it shifts the entire planar field or dimensionality of the text, text not in lines is horizontal, should be read on a table or on your back, whereas text in lines is vertical, it's a ladder, it should be read standing up and moving, out loud. It's the break that interests me, the way it literally scores the text, perforates it with what?—breath, hesitance, multiplicity, doubt, shame, leaping and landing… it's a different thing for different poets, poems, a psychophysical signature. I'd love to define poetry as broken text, I'd love to simply celebrate the line as something that gives text a body and brings the body back to language, and to leave out of this note the inverse creeping notion of line as a place to showcase a little fascism, a sick little goosestep, an exalted and celebrated space that separates street speech from the literary high and mighty. But I don't know, making space, empty space, is not something I can give up, I like the line, if one isn't trying to turn perfect cartwheels with it, but is trying to ask what the line is, what it does while doing it, that is it, right, maybe an open commons, infinitely translatable for anyone who
can see where you stopped and how you started picking it back up again.
Sandra isn't on Hangouts right now. She'll see your messages later
We've collaborated on two books—Sonneteers (Editions Eclipse, 2014) and The Yesterday Project (Sidebrow Books, 2015). You know this, I suppose. How would you describe each collaboration to our 12-week old baby, Wild Alphabet Doller? Or maybe when she's a little older, maybe even person-sized …
42 mins
We wrote The Yesterday Project together last year. It was a scary time for u both, right? Each day we wrote separately about what happened the day before. I've been wondering for a while, now that it's been a while, if you feel writing a book of memory has made those memories more palpable, more conjurable, sharper for you. I think for me it has, but I've read the book a bit more than you have since, and the memories have become these strange mythic everydays. Et toi?
27 mins
I've been thinking about some of that. Sonneteers is easy to explain to the grown baby, Wild, it's your (what do we call ourselves to her?) parents typing rhymes together, switching off, locked in time by the typewriter technology, locked into the object they typed it on. It's instantaneous and it's setting you up, because it's how we got to know each other. It's ahead of its time, and behind, took ten years to get out there, and now how old are you? Look, a portrait of Sandra I drew with my foot. Fun with four forms of form, fearless as in not written in any shadows at all, younger love's clear bright gibberish. I don't know if she'll understand any of this, but the pictures are sometimes pretty.
I wonder if she'll find these books, especially The Yesterday Project. It's heavy. It seems we might have decided we needed her in that book. How to describe that part?
7 mins
I think writing a book of memory has made all remembering more palpable. I remember the writing of the remembering better than the experiences. I remember sitting down and writing it, and where, and the thinking. And now I remember even more vividly reading the memories aloud together at readings. In San Diego twice and LA once and soon in Portland and Seattle and LA again and who knows where else. These readings have become part of the yesterday project, lowercase. And I still haven't read the book or read your parts maybe because it's too difficult or because I'd rather hear you read them than read them to myself. The whole book is predicated on the idea of you existing and the fear of you not existing, or maybe that's not exactly it. The book is about your body, near to my body, being alive at the same time and trying to continue. So I want you to read me your parts, I want to hear your parts unfold over time, in the time-based experiment we've undertaken, in life/writing. But yes the memories themselves are mythic if that means huge or salient. But I think I remember plenty of things that mythically that aren't in that book. Like the way we composed our first collaboration, Sonneteers—line by line instead of piece by piece in mostly Granville Ohio at a table on typewriters with cigarettes and white russians. Or walking Ronald Johnson the dog in San Francisco up a hill when he was a puppy. Or the first time I heard you sing. Or singing together with Steve Willard or Ronaldo Wilson or in the basement. It's a mythic thing we're living, to hear anyone tell it, which is why I hope we're not jinxed or doomed. I'm happy to not mythify. But I am driven to record lately, with my book for Wild Alphabet I can't find the time to write in, or the one for dead Ronald Johnson the dog, or the other one I'm supposed to be working on … Captain Beefheart is singing "time is running out … laughter and smoke" or is it "clapping in smoke"… ?
7 mins
Wild, one day a long time ago, your papa found out that he was very sick. He and your mama were very worried. Blabber n' Smoke. He had to get an operation and they found out it was worse. He felt fine. He still feels fine. It was a long time ago. The doctors weren't really helping. He had cancer. No, he's fine now, we're all fine. We found a better doctor. Your mama said maybe they should write each day out, both of them, just as they remembered it, and so they did, for a while. And so you get some time from both of them. Nothing much happens, they drive around a lot, watch a bunch of Westerns, read some books, hang out in the desert. You don't have to read it, maybe you shouldn't but I'm saving a copy for you.
Now here we are in a race typing next to each other on the brown couch that has followed us from San Diego to Denver to storage units to Mount Rainier to Takoma Park back to San Diego again. But I think you just beat me to it, you may have just hit return.

Daytime Soap Operas Are Dead, Here's How We Fix It
When soaps started it was all about being transcended into a world where people drank expensive sherry while sleeping with their brother's wife and accidentally murdering the child they didn't know was actually theirs. The complex complicated storylines seemed almost impossible to keep up with and yet at the same time you could not watch for a month, come back and for some reason at least fifty percent of the turmoil that was happening a month prior was still going on. I was never addicted to any one soap opera but there's a part of me that is very sad they're going away. Someone needs to step in and per usual, I think it's me. Daytime soap operas are dead, here's how we fix it – Don't Get Me Started!
The problem I see is that there are only the few mothers who still can afford to be home with their kids, the unemployed and crackheads who are available for the daytime viewing. These people need something that speaks to them and at the same time makes them feel as though they're better than the people on the screen. Sure you could just play The Hills or any of the other six gazillion reality late night soaps but no one cares about the ultra rich and their stupid behavior in the harsh light of day when there's laundry to do, jobs to semi look for and crack to score. I suggest that we start creating a new line of reality soap operas and refitted retro-programming to fit the demographics that are watching.
For the mothers there should be a reality show where the people are all successful working mothers, tackling corporate America and cupcakes for their kid's fifth grade class but also have an addiction to some sort of over the counter drug. While it won't be illegal that the mothers are all secretly hopped up on Sucrets, nasal spray and Vagisil it'll make for some good television. What this will do for all the mothers out there is allow them to see that no one can have it all without something suffering, in this case their sinuses and vagina. This will give that "I'm better than you" feeling to the stay at home moms while also being of interest to the unemployed who think the moms on the show are hot while giving the crackheads a view at using other things than the current list of drugs they're on. I'm sure there's a neighborhood out there where these conditions all ready exist so I suggest that Mark Burnett or MTV start turning over some rocks and seeing what crawls out.
For the unemployed there would be a show where other unemployed people would be taken down memory lane in a sort of "This Is Your Life" feel. The unsuspecting guest would be surprised on their couch and there would be a sort of melodramatic feel to the show where they bring in the past important people and employers in the person's life. There would be plenty of tears and also it would become sort of a half an hour, "This Is Your Resume" type show and of course at the end, instead of "Move That Bus" it would be a "Move That Couch" experience when the unemployed person discovers that they've been given a new job! Sort of an Extreme Life Makeover show.
And finally programming for the crackheads. These people are easily entertained and made paranoid so I'm thinking we just bring back H.R. Pufnstuf. No need to update it or anything, just play the old episodes. Even as a kid I wondered why Jack Wild as "Jimmy" was so "into" his flute which undoubtedly the crackheads will relate to because at some point I'm sure their pipe has seemed golden and as if it was talking to them in a high pitched voice with bejeweled lips. Meanwhile seeing H.R. Pufnstuf's expression never change always sort of freaked me out while Witchiepoo seemed like my kind of people. Let's face it, this show has something for everyone whether you're on the crack or not. And if we really want to screw with them, we can get them addicted to the show and then every once in awhile put on Lidsville or The Banana Splits, either one of them is bound to freak them out so much that they'll eventually think that these worlds are a reality that they don't want to be a part of and that the reality of being forty-five and living in their parents basement is a better reality than watching oversized hats!
I know, I know, I've done it again. But as I always like to say, "This is what I do." We have to get away from thinking about how we're going to stop the oil in the Gulf or why Jake and Vienna broke up (he never wanted to have sex with her, is heavily into his body, I'm just saying I won't be surprised if he ends up dating Ricky Martin) and figure out what to do about daytime programming. Glad I could help. Daytime soap operas are dead, here's how we fix it – Don't Get Me Started!

UPDATE 3: SpaceX Makes Third Trip to ISS This Morning, Dragon Capsule Encounters Trouble in Orbit
Tiffany Kaiser
March 1, 2013 11:09 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
It looks as if the problem has to do with the Dragon's thrusters
SpaceX sent its Dragon capsule
to the International Space Station (ISS)
for the third time this morning, but it appears something went wrong after the launch.
Today's Dragon launch, known as the CRS-2 mission, was the capsule's third trip (but second official cargo delivery) to the ISS. It was scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 10:10 a.m. ET.
The launch was successful right up to the point of entering orbit. But right after the Dragon vehicle was released (it traveled atop the Falcon 9 rocket), a problem occurred.
As of right now, it looks as if the problem has to do with the Dragon's thrusters. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is already tweeting about the issue.
"Issue with Dragon thruster pods," Musk wrote on Twitter. "System inhibiting three of four from initializing. About to command inhibit override."
The thrusters allow the Dragon capsule to move about in orbit.
Shortly after that tweet, Musk also posted this:
"Holding on solar array deployment until at least two thruster pods are active."
The CRS-2 mission entails the carrying of 1,200 pounds of scientific experiments, food for the astronauts and even some entertainment, such as a copy of "Up in the Air" by the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars.
Dragon is due to arrive at the ISS Saturday at 6:30 a.m. ET., unless current issues slow that process down.
The Dragon flew to the ISS for the first time in
May 2012
, then made its first
official cargo run in October 2012
as part of a $1.6 billion deal with NASA.
will update this article as more details on the Dragon's issue in space today are revealed.
Updated 3/1/2013 @ 1:30 PM EST
Elon Musk's
reveals that the solar array deployment was successful, and that SpaceX is now attempting to bring up thruster pods 2 and 4.
Updated 3/1/2013 @ 3:00 PM EST
Elon Musk reported that pods 1 and 4 are back online, and the thrusters are engaged. Also, the Dragon has shifted from free drift to active control.
Updated 3/1/2013 @ 5:00 PM EST
According to Elon Musk's most recent tweet, "thruster pods one through four are now operating nominally." He added that they were getting ready to raise orbit and that all systems were back in action.
"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone." -- Steve Jobs

Many characters portrayed by our leading ladies on the silver screen, have become immensely popular. So much so that many have fallen for these characters rather than for the heroines who portrayed them.
1. Kareena Kapoor's 'Geet':
This character was very well written. This girl is loving , caring in spite of being a bit self obsessed. She is full of life. Now, who wouldn't desire for such a girl in his life.
2. Kangana's 'Rani':
This character from the film Queen became a huge hit even amongst the female audiences. It was very well portrayed by Kangana. Rani is an independent, full of life and a care free girl. Circumstances must have made her so.
3. Deepika Padukone's 'Piku':
Piku is the central character of this film. She is a self made women who takes care of her old father even though she is working. Any guy would love to take her to mom.
4. Alia Bhatt's 'Ananya':
Ananya is a typical South Indian girl in 2 States. She is an intellectual and a bold girl. She is modern and independent, girl next door. Men go behind such women.
5. Anushka's Shruti Kakkar :
Shruti Kakkar is vivacious in nature. She represents the business women. Her other qualities include happy go luck nature, living in the present kind of a girl. Any guy would love to date her.

this is crap. Capcom knows how to milk people of their money, these characters could easily be DLC. Next their going to make Marvel vs Capcom 3 Ultra Edition, then Super Special Edition. ugh…
They announced 12 new characters correct? Let's do some math shall we? 12 x 4.99 is 59.98. Now that's just characters. I believe there are some new levels with the game as well, among other things. Question is, would you have rather spent that 60$ on downloading charcters or an enhanced version of the game? It always pays to wait to spend your money.
Well, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 game brought out some DLC characters, at one instance they had 5 characters a few new levels for only $9.99.
Needs more Gambit.
Needs some kind of Rocket Raccoon/Groot special combo finishing move or something.

From the award-winning author of Possession comes an ingenious novel about love and literary sleuthing: a dazzling fiction woven out of one man's search for fact.
Here is the story of Phineas G.
Disenchanted by the abstractions of postmodern literary theory, Phineas Nanson leaves graduate school in hopes of finding "a life full of things. Full of facts." Quickly he throws himself into writing a biography of Scholes Destry-Scholes, a Victorian polymath known for his three-volume biography of Sir Elmer Bole, an eccentric British explorer and writer. In a state of "febrile excitement" over his new career, Nanson begins pursuing leads: a bundle of mysterious documents left in a university archive, a shoebox of peculiar index cards and photographs given to him by Destry-Scholes' niece. The fragmented documents themselves make up a sizable portion of the novel so that the reader, like Nanson, plays literary sleuth. In a trail of paper clues that leads to Ibsen, Linnaeus, taxonomy, eugenics and composite portraiture, Nanson is aided by two women, a pollination ecologist and a radiographer, with whom he eventually becomes intimate. While reminiscent of Byatt's dazzling Booker Prize-winning Possessionwhich likewise follows scholarly quests that seek to make sense of past lives-this novel is not nearly as satisfying. One never understands why Nanson is so impassioned by his subject; intellectual concerns overwhelm and displace the emotional and psychological lives of Byatt's characters; and the self-effacing Nanson never quite becomes a credible or absorbing presence. Byatt is a vibrant, daring and curious intellect who writes passionately about the mind and evokes a sense of wonder at the complexities and patterns inherent in the natural world. However, her new novel is more irritating and confusing than it is intriguing.

|First version.
It is September, 2014 now - the air here in Tel Aviv, Israel has been getting cooler, and we are expecting the Jewish Autumn holidays (starting from Rosh Hashanah) soon. It seems that Autumn has finally arrived.
The concentrated #SummerNSA ("hashtag-SummerNSA") effort spanned most of the summer of 2014 for me, and now I'm trying to summarise it (pardon the pun). Unfortunately, I have yet to hear back either from Summer Glau or the other proposed cast of the original screenplay, or from the people inside the NSA itself. However, I've learned and taught a lot this summer, and would like to concentrate many of my insights here, and am not giving up on my intention to have a film, in whatever format, created.
The timeline of the #SummerNSA effort is roughly:
In 1998, my friend Omer Zak and I discussed the shortage of IT workers as of then on E-mail and I noted:
Shlomi Fish to Omer Zak: "Even the NSA doesn't have enough programmers. But it is not likely that they will have more, and that's because Summerschool at the NSA may might as well be the name of Sarah Michelle Gellar's next movie."
Omer Zak to Shlomi Fish: "And as opposed to I Know What You Did Last Summer, it is going to be scary."
An adversary effect of this privately exchanged meme was throwing me into a mania, during which I did a lot of positively irrational things, but which inspired me ever since.
Many years later, I ended up discussing this with my friend "Kilmo" over instant messaging, yielding further memes.
The NSA Facts page was set up around 6 February 2013, largely inspired by the Chuck Norris factoids and similar factoids that I collected.
On 12 March 2013 I published an open letter to Sarah Michelle Gellar about the production of a documentary film title "Summerschool at the NSA".
Shortly afterwards on 6 April 2013, I made an announcement to the Full Disclosure mailing list about the fictional screenplay "Summerschool at the NSA". It stars fictionalised versions of Sarah Michelle Gellar, her colleague - and in some respects protégée - Summer Glau, and General Keith B. Alexander, who was the director of the NSA at the time.
After finishing the screenplay, it was publicised in several places (including /r/xkcd and /r/SummerGlau on reddit), and was generally well received.
I initially expected Summer Glau to become the next Alpha Female, but on 1 June 2013 I wrote a post saying she instead will become the next "The Hacker Monarch"/Warrior monarch - a role which was held previously by: Saladin, Leonardo da-Vinci, Isaac Newton, Cardinal Richelieu, George Washington, Alexandre Dumas Pere, Jules Verne, Walt Disney, Ayn Rand, The Beatles, Jim Henson, Samantha Smith, Larry Wall, the fictional Capt. Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation, the fictional Buffy Summers from the show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and Shlomi Fish (= me).
On 4 July 2014, I wrote and published an essay titled "Summer Glau for Government" where: "
Abstract: This document will provide the motivation and a rough plan for Summer Glau ( Wikipedia Entry, page highlighting her significance ) and/or other extremely powerful and influential, but possibly still relatively obscure, men and women, of any age, to become either the President of the United States , or as ambassadors of good will and "Shalom"/"Salaam" (= "completeness" / "well-being" / "peace" / "harmony" / "serenity" / "welfare" / "safety" ; see the Wikipedia entry ).
On 31 August 2014, I posted a "Call for Action [CfA]" for finishing off the open content / Web 2.0 revolution revealing my intentions for the production of a film about it and for passing the baton of the Hacker King to Summer Glau. I didn't get a reply from anyone involved.
An update to my page about my "Rindolf" nickname read in 7 September 2014:
(2014-Sep-07) Following the call for action for "Finishing Off The Open Content / Web 2.0 Revolution (#SummerNSA)", I have become tired of remaining The Hacker monarch. As a result, I mentally decided to quit prematurely and let the whole world go to hell. This was done per advice of Larry Wall, who was the wonderful The Hacker King of the Open Source/Usenet revolution (~1984-1997), and quite The Invisible as well (by choice).
After feeling vindictive and resentful for a while (which I knew by experience was a transitional feeling and that I should not act upon), I realised something. That was that Summer Glau, being the legendary Bajoran profile, "The Sexiest Terminator Ever", just terminated the whole obsession of me and other people with a small group being "The Hacker Monarch" and instead there are now multiple potential "Hacker Monarchs". And to that I am grateful to her.
(FFFFUUUU Rainbow Dash -like people, who always think there should be one and only winner in a competition.)
Therefore, I plan on remaining an awesome hacker monarch for the foreseeable future, and will be joined by Ms. Glau and by other people who are willing to play that role. Perhaps future historians will designate some people in particular as being that in the present, but such global superlatives probably ought to die for now.
(Also see how previously the fictional Selina Mandrake, being The Dispeller dispelled the whole ordeal with assigning profiles.)
I still plan on passing that d10 die to Summer in person with much fanfare, because it's now her property. And I am still planning on becoming a successful, rich, and famous, writer/entertainer/philosopher and screenwriter. Remember the name: Shlomi "Rindolf" Fish!
On 14 September 2014, I published an announcement (Twitter ; GitHub ; Facebook) for "Do you want to become a hacker monarch? We need you."
"Who the hell are the Qohelethes?" or in plainer English "Who are the hacker monarchs of the world?"
What is a Hacker Monarch? A Hacker Monarch is also known as a "Warrior King/Queen/Monarch" / The best-of-the-best-of-the-best / A Saladin / A Qoheleth / A John Galt / A King Messiah / A master vampire / etc. To quote what Quark from the Star Trek franchise said about the Grand Nagus, he/she: «has the greatest business mind… always thinking ten, sometimes twenty steps ahead of everyone else.» and the kind of person who has the same ideas as everyone else only five years earlier and thus is named a lunatic.
Up to a few days ago, it was believed that only a selected group of few people can be Hacker monarchs for a time. My tentative list of the known *The* Hacker monarchs is, since Saladin who was the first exemplar The Hacker Monarch:
Saladin, Leonardo da-Vinci, Isaac Newton, Cardinal Richelieu, George Washington, Alexandre Dumas Pere, Jules Verne, Walt Disney, Ayn Rand, The Beatles, Jim Henson, Samantha Smith, Larry Wall, the fictional Capt. Jean-Luc Picard from "Star Trek: TNG", the fictional Buffy Summers from the show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Shlomi Fish (= me), and finally - Summer Glau ( http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/facts/Summer-Glau/ )
What happened with Summer Glau? As you know, she is a terminator, and as terminators go she "terminated" the whole obsession with the "The" in **The** Hacker Monarch and opened the role of **A** Hacker monarch up for grabs.
Realised the close correlation between sexual attractiveness and competence, strength and value production.
Realised that the following are strongly correlated:
Darwinian Fitness in Humans (which is not the same as the so-called "Physical Fitness").
"Ability" - see Marx's From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
(We want to encourage people to become more able and to be less needy).
"Hotness" or sexual attractiveness.
Helped publicise the SummerNSA Screenplay and the other screenplays and learned more about social media (Twitter / Facebook / G+ / Reddit / Freenode / etc.)
Attended YumeCon in Ramat Gan, Israel (near Tel Aviv). See the photos I took.
Attended the Nine Worlds Geekfest Sci-Fi/Fantasy Con near Heathrow Airport in London.
Realised that a woman or a man are a lady or a gentleman even if they starred in a porn film, or sold sexual services for money (prostitution.). Also see what I wrote about the recent August 2014 images leak.
First expected to stop becoming The Hacker King and instead become The Hacker King Emeritus, and then realised that Summer Glau terminated the "the" and there are now many potential and individual and awesome Hacker Monarchs (without the the). Long live us hacker monarchs
Realised that enlightenment, honesty, and wisdom are constant processes, and that if you stop seeking bigger and bigger truths, you immediately become dishonest and cynical.
Decided to encourage people to offend me and encourage others to try to be offended by others.
Are there really bad people? Tweet:
«I never met a #monster that I didn't like»@TheMuppets my mum said«There are no #evil ppl—only evil actions»#NeoTech
"Sloppiness" (Expecting to do things badly at first or that some people will always dislike what you do) → Confidence → Intelligence/Smartness → Awesomeness / Competence / Strength.
Saladin Style / Pygmalion Effect vs. Golem effect.
«Doubt is not the antithesis of faith - it's an element of faith» — parodies better highlight the truth.
Geeks/Amateurs (= people who enjoy what they do) and Hackers/Action Heroes (= people who break the rules, bend the rules, and don't accept their fate, and earn their victory despite whatever obstacles they face).
All attractive women and men are geeks.
Philosophy started as a form of entertainment - today the best philosophers are still the entertainers. ( Stand-up philosophy. )
«If Ayn Rand was born in the 1990s, she would be Christina Grimmie»
Understood that many of the things I described and were doubted at the time materialised:
Wiki-like editing of screenplays for films - now quite common using the more modern Web 2.0-based wiki-like interfaces.
Geeks, including software geeks as the most popular / most coveted / alphas, back in 2004/2005 despite some criticism for not being realistic at the time.
The Hizbullah as a mostly benevolent youth group/etc.-like organisation whose activists are free to leave it.
Realised that things, including people and organisations can change. Citing old interviews or labelling someone for something he or she did in the past is not constructive. People can grow and become more competent, more able, and happier.
Realised that big money / big business and an uneven distribution of wealth are both desirable, not necessarily harmful, and not a new phenomenon:
It is also evident that a lot of phenomena that started as insurgent and rebellious ended up becoming part of the establishment, such as: the American revolutionaries, the Hollywood film-makers, television, the philosophers in ancient Greece, the open source hackers, and soon—the open content / Web 2.0 enthusiasts.
We are not going to get rid of the establishment, big money or big business, but one should realise that all the money and force in the world cannot stop progress for long:
Hi William, On Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:13:44 -0700 William Brooks wrote: > Why is the gender or the nationality of the winner significant? > I would prefer to hear what she did or wrote or discovered to win the prize. > First of all, she was the first woman to have won this prize which has been given for a long time, so it is significant. Part of the problem is that the prize is given only to mathematicians under the age of 40, which for women is often a problem because they wish to have a family. Otherwise, I dislike the "I don't care about what makes you who you are attitude". Like I note in my new screenplay "Buffy: A Few Good Slayers": http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/Buffy/A-Few-Good-Slayers/ongoing-text.html#faith-s-childhood : «««««««« [ Becky and Chankey are sitting in the library, studying together, and listening to Cimorelli - "When I'm gone" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpZddsmoEsI ). Faith approaches them. ] Faith: Hmm... hi kids! That doesn't sound exactly like Anna Kendrick. Faith: Whoa, who are all those girls? Becky: Oh, they are Cimorelli - six sisters who sing together. They are a big hit on YouTube. Faith: Six sisters! Chankey: And they also have some brothers. Faith: Heh, God bless their mother. After my third pregnancy (to twins) I said: "That's it. No way, José!". Faith: I would think their being a big family is part of their charm. Chankey: Yes, and the way I see it: all the power to them. See: I read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as a child, and I ended up memorising the English translation and now the French original, because I liked it so much. Chankey: Anyway, Captain Nemo there, thinks he's a nobody, which is what "Nemo" means in Latin, but he's not. Thing is: lots of people expressed interest in him due to his various distinctive qualities, and he kept thinking: "They are interested in tangential stuff, not in the real me. They don't know the real me." Chankey: And here's the thing: all these qualities are what make you who you are, and you should exploit them and be yourself. Faith: Indeed! »»»»»»»» There's more about celebrating individuality in the screenplay and in other screenplays. So my advice to Ms. Mirzakhani is to be proud of being the first woman to have won it, and use it as publicity and a way to help further causes she believes in (whether related to her work and prize or otherwise) and to possibly even try to make a profit from it - by charging for personal appearances, collecting donations from audience in a hat (see my Stand-up philosophy idea at https://plus.google.com/+ShlomiFish/posts/GUpTuA6641x ). The whole "they only care about my X/Y/Z/W - they don't care about the real me" is damaging. You are the whole of your qualities not just a core, minimalistic, abstract, I-ness. And you are a born superstar - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy5fm4gxq-s ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG0wi1m-89o .

Linux Kernel Development:
1. Linus should quit - at least temporarily. (see my "The Linus Torvalds Bus Factor" for which I got completely blocked from the vger.kernel.org E-mail domain and which I now understand was the "truth" and an elephant in the room)
There should be more than one committer (same).
The girl who complained on LKML that they should be more tactful and friendly is right. Geeks can be more tactful and friendly without becoming less competent (false dichotomy).
Linus accused her of being "passive-aggressive" (whatever that means) but he was wrong.
Greenpeace: proactive technological (tangible+mental) effort instead of anti-technology: 1. Start planting trees. 2. Lobby for more enforestation. 3. Encourage consuming less. 4. Work on industrialisation and modernisation of third-party nations: richer people->less children.
Realise that destruction solves nothing - "I can solve the Middle East's problems in 20 minutes - by dropping a nuclear bomb on Israel." ; "Nuke Tehran" - wrong! You're killing innocent people in both cases.
If you banned someone from an IRC forum or felt offended, you should unban him and encourage people to offend you so you will grow intellectually.
It seems that wikis such as ikiwiki which use Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCSes) for storage, are in general preferable to MediaWiki and other SQL-based wikis and content management systems (CMSes), due to better reliability, and the ability to backup all data. I suggest Wikia to offer an option to use ikiwiki.
Employ Saladin's method to fight violent and destructive dissidents.
People should support the lowRISC project to create a 100% open hardware RISC architecture.

VOLUME is one of the most important metrics you can track in powerlifting. It's commonly referred to as 'how much work ' is done and impacts the amount of fatigue or recovery created .
Do too much volume? You put yourself in a recovery deficit, which might lead to overtraining, burnout, or injury. Do too little volume? You put yourself in a recovery surplus, which might lead to detraining or insufficient stimulus for new adaptations .
Calculating volume on a high level is straight forward.
Volume = Number of sets * number of reps * bar load
So someone who does 5 sets of 5 reps at 375lbs would complete 7,875lbs of volume. 5 sets * 5 reps * 375lbs = 7,875lbs total volume.
We know that as we train, the result of one workout or training week might impact more training days and weeks. That 's why it's key to track volume over different time periods.
• Daily Volume: The amount of volume completed within a single training session.
• Weekly Volume: The amount of volume completed over a full training week.
• Monthly Volume: The amount of volume completed over a month, or training cycle.
As you get stronger, it will become important to track not only your total volume but also the factors that make up your volume and the changes in volume levels over time . If you had a fantastic week of training, or set a new personal best, you'd want to know where that result came from, right? Lucky for you, we can break volume into 3 elements:
Relative Intensity:
This considers the intensities and rep ranges used to achieve your total volume.
Volume Split by Core Lift:
This shows how much of your volume was achieved over squat, bench, and deadlift movements.
Baseline Volume:
This compares your total current volume with the average amount of volume you typically handle.
Each of these elements will be explored more in our NEXT ARTICLE.

HMRC is to review its Business Record Checks (BRC) scheme in response to concerns raised by the tax profession.
The Revenue piloted the first phase of the scheme between April and July 2011, examining companies' proof of expenses and income dating back years. In 2012, HMRC plans to spot check the paperwork of 20,000 companies - not 50,000 as published in the original consultation - and potentially fine those with sub-standard records up to £3,000. However, the department announced just before Christmas it will review the scheme with representative bodies to address their complaints about inadequate consultation. But HMRC will press ahead with a limited number of BRC pilots in the meantime. The Revenue said: "HMRC recognise that the launch of the BRC pilots has caused considerable concern to the tax profession and that the project would have benefited from more detailed consultation with tax professionals at an earlier stage. In the light of these concerns, HMRC will undertake a strategic review of the project in consultation with the professional and representative bodies. "The purpose of the review is to consider the overall aims of BRCs, examine whether the current approach is the best way of achieving the policy objectives and identify what changes are needed to ensure that the objectives are achieved."AccountingWEB contributor Simon Sweetman said of the lack of consultation: "This has been a consistent problem – HMRC has often consulted well up to the point at which it actually sends people out and then going rather off the rails because, I think, of a reluctance to let anyone 'interfere' with operational matters." The ICAEW welcomed the review: "The Tax Faculty and other tax representative bodies have been concerned about BRCs from the beginning. While we support initiatives to help businesses keep good records, we are not convinced that the BRC approach is the best way to achieve this. We are concerned that HMRC may set unrealistic criteria for small business records and that BRCs will place a considerable compliance burden on SMEs and their advisers."

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Libya Releases Four Egyptian Christians from Prison
- Philadelphia Abortion Clinic: Workers Recount Horrors
- In New Budget, Obama Cuts Abstinence Education Funds
Libya Releases Four Egyptian Christians from Prison
Libya released four Egyptian Christians from prison on Thursday, the ICC reports. The prisoners had spent more than a month in jail, accused of proselytizing. Egypt's state news agency MENA said the authorities dropped the charges. The release comes after Egypt extradited two members of our Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's regime earlier in the month. Last month, Egyptian judicial sources told Reuters Egypt was seeking to swap the Libyans with the Egyptian Copts. Libya's small Christian community has expressed fears over Islamist extremism as the government struggles to impose its authority over armed groups. Christians there are persecuted by both the government and radical Islamists.
Philadelphia Abortion Clinic: Workers Recount Horrors
Dr. Kermit Gosnell has been charged with killing a female patient and seven babies allegedly born alive at his abortion clinic in inner-city Philadelphia, CBN reports. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. In a case that has gone virtually unreported by major media outlets, eight former employees have already pleaded guilty, some to third-degree murder. They've testified about the bizarre and often chaotic practices at the clinic, including some of the horrific things they witnessed. One employee said she saw aborted babies move at least twice. Another said she snipped the spines of at least 10 babies. Gosnell's former lawyer, Bill Brennan, says the trial will take some time. "Between the death penalty, length of service and the abortion issue -- yeah, and when you factor in that it got international attention when it broke, it's going be a long, difficult process," Brennan said.
In New Budget, Obama Cuts Abstinence Education Funds
In the budget he delivered yesterday to Capitol Hill, President Barack Obama axed funds for sexual risk avoidance (SRA) education, even though research shows these programs can help curb the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, WORLD reports. The president also redirected funds away from avoidance education and towards sex-ed programs that emphasize contraception. In a statement, the National Abstinence Education Association (NAEA) said moving the money violates a 2010 congressional mandate to give states $50 million in Title V grants for SRA education. Currently, the ratio of federal funding for contraceptive-based sex education and abstinence-based programs is 16:1, respectively. Opponents of abstinence education criticize it as unrealistic and ineffective, assuming teens will choose to be sexually active. Consequently, they advocate for "safe sex" education instead.
But SRA programs teach students more than just the wisdom of abstinence. They also learn other practical skills, like how to identify healthy relationships, avoid unwanted sexual advances, avoid STDs, and understand contraception. Since the president delivered his budget more than two months late, it isn't clear how significantly it will affect the legislative process.

|"Kibbutz elderly demonstrated in the past a high level of health, exceptional longevity, positive wellbeing, and strong evidence for successful aging. For instance, in 1995, life expectancy of females in kibbutzim was (at birth) 82.5 years and 78.1 years formales (compared to 79.8 and 75.9 for Israeli Jews). Research showed social arrangements (based on principles of solidarity, equality, social integration and social support) to be the prime factor responsible for these positive results. Social arrangements were translated to create social capital in both its principal forms: physical and social - to act for the health and well being of the kibbutz elderly. Yet, the importance of socioeconomic equality among members could not be positively ascertained, as there existed practically no differences in this regard among kibbutz communities. Since the end of the eighties, many kibbutzim experienced major structural and ideological changes with major impact upon their social arrangements and consequently upon health and well being of all members, the elderly in particular. The most significant structural changes are "privatization" of public budgets (so that each membergets what others get - rather than according to needs) and in arrangements of "differential salary" based on level of professional or managerial position at work (thus the principle of "equity" replaces both "mechanic equality" and "qualitative equality".) We compared two kibbutzim that moved to a structure based on the "equity" principles (rather than "equality") with two kibbutzim that keep to the "equality" principles in the distribution of budgetary remuneration (all four were roughly similar in their average economic standing). Respondents were members aged 55 or older. Analyzed were medical files as well as a questionnaire instrument that gauged kibbutz (perceived) social capital on various dimensions and respondents' self reported levels of health, wellbeing, and the existence of ill symptoms. The "equity" members showed lower levels of health. They also reported lower level of existence of social capital intheir kibbutzim. I discuss possible consequences for the kibbutz population, the importance of social arrangements for health and longevity, and the support this study gives to the theoretical model of relating socioeconomic inequality to health and life expectancy."

People call me a chef (even says so here). I'm not a chef. Ted Allen is not a chef (as if his round wood spoons didn't say as much). Rachael Ray is not a chef. None of us ever said we were. (I have on occasion, claimed to be, but that was just to piss off Michael Symon, who is a chef, or was—now he's a TV cook, entertainer, and successful restaurateur. I cooked at Sans Souci, a Marriot-owned restaurant, ages ago, but I wouldn't last an hour on the line today.) Terms matter.

Detroit Farmingby Emilia |
Motown is becoming a city that wants its citizens to be more aware of fresh food and urban gardening, via Civil Eats.
Last summer, on assignment for Condé Nast Traveler, I visited a farm that raises ducks for foie gras, driven there along harrowing roads in southwestern France by Kate Hill. I'd never seen the practice, vilified in America, of force-feeding ducks and, being in the land of foie gras and confit de canard, I had to see for myself. The farm, Souleilles, run by Yves and Geneviève Boissière, is wide, wide open in the town of Frespech. The husband and wife were warm and welcoming and watched me take an iMovie and iPhone pix of the practice while Yves spoke at length about the process. The ducks are pasture raised most of their lives, then force fed for 14 days, beginning with a little less than half a pound twice a day, increasing to less than Read On »
