Today, I set out to map all my current and past projects and where they landed in my personal cartography. I currently have two versions:
About a week ago, I picked up a copy of Gretchen Rubin's new book, Better than Before, and read it in one sitting in a bookstore. The book talked about our habits and classified people into The Four Tendencies. (I got Questioner. No surprise there!) After reading, I decided to make a list of habits I wanted to pick up or break. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed with so many projects lately and decided it was probably time to audit my processes and see how I can be better.
One habit I decided to take up is meditation. It's difficult for me to do absolutely nothing, so I decided I would meditate by doing 100 deep breaths. Just that—breathing deeply (and counting!). For the past week at around 9 pm, I've been doing this for 10-20 minutes, lying on my back and in the dark. After the meditation I would start another few hours of work before sleeping at 3 am.
On the first day of this habit I had a very strange surprise: a tingling on my head, face, and hands. It was intense enough for me to notice. It's not painful or anything. I would even say it was pleasant—it's how I imagined it would feel like if someone sprinkled fairy dust on me. Here are some journal entries that showed how I felt:
April 19, Sunday
I started a 100-breath meditation practice last night. I'm pretty sure I have ASMR. I feel it around the 20-something breath. It's stronger on the top of my head. I feel it behind my ears, my face (especially lips). and on the collarbone. Later on, I feel it in my hands.
I realized that stress and hot weather didn't help.
April 20, Monday
I did 150 breaths, but only felt a bit of the tingling in my hands and face (a little in the chest). Maybe it's because I slept at past 3 last night and because it's so hot today (Manila is having a heat wave right now). And because I'm thinking too many things.
By Day 4, I was panicking that I lost it. It was a stressful day.
April 21, Tuesday
Oh no. I think I lost the power!
By Day 5, I was relieved.
April 22, Wednesday
I still have the power! My parents installed a new AC so the air was at 23 degrees Celsius. I started feeling it around breath #25. By breath #50, I sat up to see if I could feel it in the back of the head and neck without the interference of a pillow. I definitely felt it at the back of the neck, but not the spine, but then again I did a lot of side kick stretches at the bar in the dojang, so the sides of my back are killing me.
The tingling actually persists after my meditation practice. Here is a sketch to show where I feel it:
When I shift my position, or when I'm exposed to light, the tingling is affected. Breathing controls the flow of the tingling.
Movement and sudden light (someone entered the room) didn't stop it, but diminished it a bit, and resumed on the next breath. Exhaling / inhaling seem to control the flow of the tingling, especially on the exhale. [Doing] 100 breaths now takes me around 18 minutes.
It tickles!
And later:
April 23, Wednesday
I can feel when it's about to happen, like when you know you're about to sneeze.
I immediately thought of ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, since it trended online a few weeks ago and there are lots of articles about it. I tried the Youtube videos of whispering and other triggers, but it's this breathing practice that really does it for me (though I breathe through the nose and throat as in yoga, so perhaps the sound of that helps, too). Science is skeptical about it, but I hope that I can get an MRI to check and see what is going on with me since it looks like I can control it.
All I know for sure is that I feel a tingling when I do lots of deep breaths. It's like a meteor is about to burst from me. After I meditate, I feel like my to-do list becomes more manageable. I'm more focused and relaxed. As for the ASMR, I'm not sure if that also helps with my focus or if it's just another consequence of the meditation, but I like visualizing myself as a superhero with a very strange (and perhaps useless) superpower.
As someone who is very interested in perception, discovering this about myself is fascinating. I'm already extremely sensitive to smell and sounds, so this makes me feel like another dimension is opening up for me. In any case, meditating amidst all the stress should be a good habit to pick up.
Next habit on my list: apply hand lotion every day.
It was fun talking about The Apocalypse Project, specifically Climate Change Couture, at Stage the Future 2: The 2nd International Conference on Science Fiction Theater. I couldn't physically be there (boo), but I Skyped from Manila, waking up at 5 in the morning. It was a miracle I woke up at all, and even more miraculous that my wifi connection held up.
Many thanks, Chris Callow, Boyd Branch, Erika Hughes, and the rest of the conference organizers! Check out the conference site and their Twitter feed—I think it's really great to have cool gatherings like this!
Ok, now I'm going back to bed.
Hey everyone! I'm happy to announce my latest writing project, Field Notes from Planet Earth. It's a site that collects my long form essays about the environment and its intersections with science and culture. You might see some topics similar to what I've blogged about here in The Perceptionalist, which has been my creative sketchbook of a kind since grad school. FNFPE will house longer essays with a more environmental theme, mostly collected from my travels. New essays published every Monday.
Why another blog? As a creative person, I feel like I need multiple channels to express my ideas. Also, this blog has been a hodgepodge of exhibition announcements, notes from my talks, and random taekwondo photos that I feel like I need one more focused outlet for my longer thoughts. Plus I've always wanted an excuse to use the name and the sexy Intergalactic theme from WordPress. I'll still be keeping this blog for everything else.
You might remember the subject of the first post: the day I went to Jindo for the Miracle Sea Road Festival, which celebrates a legend that emerged due to tidal harmonics. I heart science, don't you?
Follow the site here.
October 2014, Seoul—The Apocalypse Project's Climate Change Couture is now on view at Seoul National University Museum of Art. My piece is on the second floor and features six garments from Climate Change Couture's Singapore, Manila, and Seoul collections, as well as six photos from the Singapore collection.
Curated by Arthur Clay, founder and artistic director of Digital Art Weeks International, and Jeungmin Noe, senior curator at Seoul National University Museum of Art, the exhibition blurs the boundaries between art and science and enlarges the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaborations.
The exhibition runs until December.
Many thanks to Digital Art Weeks and SNU MoA
11 October 2014, Seoul—I was part of a panel on Science Day at the Innovation Forum of Digital Art Weeks held at Seoul National University Museum of Art. Dr. Denisa Kera of Swiss Hacketeria and National University of Singapore gave the keynote speech. My fellow panelists included Dr. Tae-Sub Chung of Yonsei Medical School, Dr. Min Suk Chung of Ajou University School of Medicine, and Dr. Tai Hyun Park of the Advanced Institute of Convergence Technology of Seoul National University. The panel was moderated by Dr. Sunghoon Kim, Director of the Integrated Bioscience and Biotechnology Institute at Seoul National University.
The Innovation Forum is a three-day symposium spread out during Digital Art Weeks Seoul, which runs until December. Science Day explores common themes on the crossroads between Neuroscience and Aesthetics in the arts and Bioinformatics and Biohacking art movement, bringing in and raising questions about the creative process, scientific inquiry and realm of empirical aesthetics. The panel I was on, "Convergence in Arts and Sciences", raised questions around convergence of science and art and how they have been inseparable.
I gave a talk on "Art, Science, and Planetary Futures", chronicling my experiences in science and art through the different residencies and fellowships I've had in the world. I spoke about how art and science converged to give people new experiences, to empower audiences, and to break traditional formats. It was great to see familiar faces in the audience—from fellow alumni of the School of Visual Arts, the staff at the National Art Studio of Korea (now known as the MMCA Residency Changdong), and the Future Cities Laboratory. Even Denisa is a familiar face—she moderated our panel at ArtScience Museum in Marina Bay Sands last year. It was like going to a big family reunion. Thanks, guys!
Thanks to DAW International for the invitation, SNU MoA for the lovely venue and staff, and Kate Kirkpatrick for the photos.
[Seoul, South Korea] I'm happy to be back here in Seoul for a bit for some exhibitions and talks. One of those talks is in the interestingly named Emotion Engineering Department at Sangmyung University. Professor Jieun Kwon, my dear friend and fellow SVA graduate, warmly invited me to give a talk in her class and to observe the lab.
In the beginning of my afternoon in the program, I was impressed by a class assignment—the students had to draw diagrams about the definition of Service Design, and it was interesting to hear a design class in another language. Professor Kwon will be asking them to do another one at the end of the term so they can observe the difference and witness the breadth of what they have learned.
They gave me a tour of the Emotion Engineering lab. We played with a Star Wars game that uses brain waves. Here we had to make the ball rise to the top.
I took a few minutes to successfully do so—I thought my brain died—and Professor Kwon was a lot faster than me.
Afterwards, I gave an artist talk about my background and how I came to do my projects on art and science.
I'm really happy to be back in Korea; I have, as you know, a lot of great memories from this place and it's great to be meeting new people. I think it's fantastic how art, science, and technology are explored in different countries around the world, and how collaborations bring about the coolest projects.
Warm thanks to Dr. Kwon and her class at the Sangmyung University's Emotion Engineering program for hosting me!

Aquila Game Reserve Wildlife Safari from Cape Town
- Safari day trip to Aquila Game Reserve from Cape Town
- Spot South Africa's Big Five animals on a game drive around this malaria-free private reserve
- Watch out for endangered species like snow leopards
- Lean about the reserve's wild animals and birdlife from your game ranger guide
- Hotel pickup and drop-off included
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
On arrival, meet your game ranger guide and embark on an Open vehicle game drive around the park.
Watch out for Africa's famous Big Five -- African elephants, Cape buffalos, lions, leopards and rhinos – while touring the park, and learn from your guide how the phrase 'Big Five' came to be coined. Plus, look for hippos, giraffes.
After your Game Drive you will return for lunch (included).
Aquila Game Reserve is well known for its large natural wetland, and so the bird-watching opportunities here are plentiful. Home to more than 170 different species of bird, the park is actually named after the endangered Black Eagle (Aquila). Keep your eyes open as you explore the park and you might be lucky enough to see one!
After 2 and half hours of touring the park on your game drive, meet your host for the journey back to Cape Town, arriving in the late afternoon.

I'm baffled at why Adorama would sell and item that does not work. Google it, and you'll see. I have a D5000, I'm using the right batteries, and it doesn't work. I ordered 2 from Adorama, and both don't work. No bueno. I've contacted the manufacturer and they play like it's not normal, but when you google it, everyone seems to say that it doesn't work. Boo.

Hello Everyone!
I have some new updates!
It's been a busy week for me in the Challenge.
First off, I met my mentor Dr. Erdogan-Haug this past week. We had a great meeting and we discussed some preliminary ideas for my innovation. Read more
I've realized scientific research was much more difficult before the Internet.
Every day we make groundbreaking discoveries and innovations, some of which further our availability to gather information. Yet sometimes, people resort to more conventional means of discovery like I have in looking for problems to solve in my inventing process. When I'm looking for problems to solve, I rely on family members who have issues like sleep apnea or disconnected IV's. Read more
Hi everyone!
As Week 2 comes to a close, I can't believe how fast the YSC has passed. I can still remember writing my first entry.
In the meantime, I've been thinking about my project all week. I decided to stick to my current project, which is definitely the most developed idea I've had so far. I've gotten some excellent insight from my mentor, Dr. Cordell Hardy. The main focus for me is how I'm going to incorporate the 3M technologies I have chosen into my invention. Read more
Summer is the season for hanging out all day with my friends and playing my favorite sports, but with the record-high temperatures we've had this summer, I don't mind taking time just to sit and relax and watch things happen. This week my homework was to reflect on my possible solutions to problems I've observed or researched. This is my favorite part of every project I've worked on. After meeting Dr. Deloney Langer-Anderson (Dr. Del) on the phone, I discovered that brainstorming new solutions to problems is what makes her job so great. I am very fortunate to be paired with a scientist who is not only extremely knowledgeable (PhD in Chemistry) but cheerful, encouraging, and patient. Read more
Wow, I can't believe it has only been about a week since the kick-off webinar! Getting to really immerse myself in the scientific-process of creating an innovation has been a tremendous experience! I've really seen what lengths these 3M scientists have to go to innovate such spectacular products and tools. Their hard work is certainly an inspiration for me and probably for the rest of the finalists. I believe the thing that motivates 3M scientists is their passion and drive to create life-changing products that revolutionize the way we do things. I certainly commend them for their hard work! After all, it is said that there is always a 3M product within 15 feet of you! Read more

Walker is the most common fitness equipment, through exercise, can improve heart and lung function, to some extent to improve lower limb strength, and enhance physical coordination. Exercise time, his hands clenched the handle of the chest, feet apart, stand on both pedals, upper body straight, and then as we walk, alternating back and forth naturally legs.
Reverend Lucius Walker - ¡Presente! It is impossible to find words to express our sadness upon hearing of the passing of our good friend and comrade, the Reverend Lucius Walker, best known to all the world as the founder of the Pastors For Peace Friendship Caravans to Cuba. For the past twenty years, Reverend Walker and the Pastors For Peace Caravans have broken the U.S. blockade of Cuba by collecting humanitarian aide for Cuba in regions across the U.S., enduring brutal harassment at the hands of the U.S. government, to deliver that much needed aide to our Cuban brothers and sisters. Throughout so many years we have come to depend on Reverend Walker's steadfast vision, his unrelenting militant but nonviolent spirit, and his willingness to stand on principle in the face of brutal odds. In our work with Cuba, and throughout the world, we on the Global Exchange Cuba Team have learned from and tried to emulate the example of Reverend Walker and the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO) in our complementary endeavors. Reverend Walker not only sought to end the illegal and immoral blockade of Cuba but to offer to communities around the globe an example of a better world based on principles of humanity and love, both on a global scale and in his personal life and commitments. Our brother, Reverend Walker, we give thanks for having been able to share the road of life with such a worthy and giving person -- such a precious gem – as yourself. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. With ultimate respect, Walter Turner, President Board of Directors Global Exchange And the entire Global Exchange Cuba Team "It could have been me, but instead it was you… So I'll keep doing the work you were doing as if I were two… I'll be a student of life, a singer of songs, a farmer of food, and a righter of wrongs… If you could work for Freedom, I can too…" -- words by Holly Near

Anti-tethering legislation—what it is and how to create it

Tru-Spec Poly / Cotton Ripstop TRU Uniform Pants
very inaccurate sizes
Reviewer: Lopezjjc | San Antonio< Texas
Date: 6/28/2015
My only complain is the misleading size range. My size is 28 but the range 28-30 is toooooo large. I had to to pay 15$ more for modification of the waist size. This is a serious MAJOR flaw for this pants. I bought another, but size X-small (up to 24-26 size?). This size fits like a 28 blue jean. PERFECT! So sizes are HUGE! Luckily, I took time to read previous reviews and that was that helped me to go ONE SIZE RANGE less. If want to use size ranges, use elastics instead of the waist fabric cord.
Tru-Spec Nylon / Cotton 1/4 Zip Tactical Response Combat Shirt
Reviewer: David | Searcy, Arkansas
Date: 6/28/2015
This is an excellent combat shirt - especially for the price. Great selection of patterns. Thanks to Tru-Spec for making these in Multicam Arid and Multicam Tropic, and thanks to TacticalGear.com for carrying them at a reasonable price. I could not be happier with these shirts.
Tru-Spec Nylon / Cotton Ripstop TRU Uniform Pants
Great Fatigues - strange fit
Reviewer: David | Searcy, Arkansas
Date: 6/28/2015
I have always been a BDU man, because I prefer the button closures to the hook and loop. Hook and loop is not good for noise discipline and doesn't last forever. Having said that, these are a great product over all. The TRU is the only style I have found in Multicam Arid and Tropic, so I ordered them. They are extremely sturdy and well-built. They take knee pad inserts, which is awesome. They have a strange, narrow in the hip fit, though, that takes some getting used to for someone used to BDUs. I found the reviews saying they are cut large for size to be inaccurate. They are true to size. If you are at the top end of your size in the waist, consider going to the next size due to the snugness in the hips. Overall excellent product, though! They would get five stars from me if they were bigger in the hips and had button closures instead of hook and loop.

Today, Nikon is announcing three new lenses–and two of them are monsters. The company will soon be offering the new smaller AF-S DX Nikkor 16-80mm f2.8-4E EF VR along with new 500mm and 600mm lenses. The lens most likely to be purchased by folks is the 16-80mm f2.8-4, which is designed for APS-C sensor cameras and comes out to render a 24-120mm field of view. The ones that are more exciting though are the new 500mm and 600mm lenses. These are designed for photojournalists, sports shooters, and wildlife shooters.
And man, are they expensive.

Ryan Reynolds Named Sexiest Man Alive
"My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke," Reynolds said. "When I stop training, I turn into a skin-colored whisper."
The funnyman and wife Scarlett Johansson appear to be Hollywood's most beautiful couple -- earlier this week, she was named GQ's "Babe of the Year."
"Now it's going to be, 'Sexiest man, take out the garbage.' That does sound better," Reynolds joked.
Reynolds is best known for his roles in comedy and romantic films like 'National Lampoon's Van Wilder' and 'The Proposal'. He also played Deadpool in 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine,' and takes the lead in next summer's blockbuster adaptation of 'The Green Lantern.'
Reynolds joins past winners Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Richard Gere as one of PEOPLE's sexiest. >>> Watch Ryan Reynolds in the New 'Green Lantern' Trailer

Who is he? You need to get a life! Get out of the small town you live in. Go to museum, got to an art gallery. Move out of the town you were born in. Theres a big ole world out there.
How Johnny Depp ever made that list is beyond me. He looks like the derelicks that out out by the subway station. He has gotten so full of himself. Plus,,take a bath!
Ryan Reynolds.....100% agree

Mark Harmon won the title in 1986...and well deserved, I might add. But you are correct, he is STILL sexy. It's easy to be beautiful when you are young. KEEPING yourself that way makes you really sexy in my book.

Radio Caller Threatens Obama with Military Coup, Wants to Rid Country of Homosexuals, Bring Back Slavery
by Andy Towle
October 2, 2009 | 11:02am
Eddie says
Dear God. Why Oklahoma? Again.
Dave says
I don't know why Signorile gives this sort of nonsense airtime. Or why Andy gives it space on his blog. All this guy wants is attention.
Rad says
I have to concur with Dave; Signorile has a producer to screen this crap out, yet he still puts it on the air. And we wonder why the flames of hatred are so amped up?
Mitch says
It is important to realize what kind of crazy is being revved up out there. Signorile is doing a great job.
Chitown Kev says
Gus says
First, why would a caller like this be listening to Signorile?
Second, wouldn't he have a 8 x 10 of Kern?
LemmyC says
Wow. Please, those of you living in the States, tell me this is *not* real…
jerry says
You know they got caller id, hunt this guy down and lock 'em up for sedition etc.
These people need to learn about obeying the law.
Kyle says
I was born and raised in Oklahoma and I love the state dearly. But since I left and moved to Chicago and I've only been away for 2 1/2 years this just saddens me. The people of Oklahoma are mostly very caring and have no animosity against those that don't share their values and beliefs but its nutjobs like this that make me sad. But like with all groups don't let one uneducated inbreed redneck make you think that he is representative of the whole state. It's just not so.
NewEng says
And right after that the tooth fairy called to say she's going rogue!
Dario says
KYLE: I admit, Ive never been to Oklahoma and while I do believe that most Oklahoman's are caring and have no animosity against those that don't share their values and beliefs I wonder what their stance is on giving gay Oklahoman's equal rights under the law? I have a feeling that they would not be as caring. I say this because I live in the South where I hear the same thing all the time. 'I have nothing against you and I like you as a person and I would do whatever I can to help you but when it comes to you having the same rights as me, well I just think that's wrong.' I hope Kyle, that both in Oklahoma and in the vast majority of the South this kind of insane thinking die's out for all our sakes. Peace be with you.
Wes says
"Wow. Please, those of you living in the States, tell me this is *not* real…"
I think you need to listen to 'Liz in San Diego' for your answer.
J.P. says
Signorile airs this stuff so the people who listen who are on the fence can see how whacky the far right is and then decide to move off the fence a little more to the left.
Mike in the Tundra says
Kyle, I cannot make myself return to North Carolina. You're right about there being good people in the South, but there are many who are not. The racism is appalling. The hatred of gays is evident. And I'm talking about my own family.
Wes says
There's nothing unfair about what Signorile is doing. In fact I think he makes an effort to be incredibly level headed and fair to his crazy callers.
I think its important to expose this element of the American populace. Because as Liz from San Diego says, it is real and it should be recognized and taken seriously.
Tralfaz says
Someone needs a little visit from the Secret Service.
DR says
Signoreli airs this stuff because if he aired intelligent callers he wouldn't have the opportunity to insult everyone he disagrees with. It's sensationalist journalism at its worst. Just my opinion after all the times I've listened/read his stuff.
And Mike, maybe next time you ought to wipe that smirk off your face when you have a caller like Liz from San Diego. Makes me more inclined to believe this stuff is staged.
walter says
It is important to hear the voice of the peasants — and we must remember that is all they are peasants.
The elite educated class must never fear the peasants — that is what happens in the Middle East — they fear the peasants in the streets.
Better than them ? Damn right we are.
walter says
peas·ant (pznt)
1. An uncouth, crude, or ill-bred person; a boor.
walter says
Why do I suspect the regular "Gay Republicans" are back posting comments.
How many of us have declared our homes off limits to Republicans in 2009 ?
Are you willing to do that – or afraid your invites to the beach house or penthouse may get lost in the mail ?
walter says
Kyle — he is representative of good deal of ALL America – including Oklahoma.
DLRnATL says
I don't know if it is media induced paranoia, but I have been giving more thought than I ever thought I would about the fear of secession. I remember TX Gov. Perry making veiled threats to that. I remember watching a story on Maddow about it. And while I always understood there were crazies out there who will always threaten it, it just seems I'm seeing it more and more in the news and being given some kind of credence. I hope it is just my over active imagination or Obama may be more like Lincoln than we could ever dream.
rayy says
Why do you think they should not air this? This guy could be serious–if they can keep him on the phone long enough, maybe we could all learn something. You know there is a certain fraction of people out there that think this way–if you don't believe it, just turn on Glenn Beck any evening. Will Beck, Malkin & others take responsibility when something happens? Yeah right–it's gonna be "I didn't say that/I never meant that".
Donovan says
These people are as dumb as dogshit and twice as unpleasant – and especially after Bush pandered to them for 8 years. I really wish Obama would just steamroll over the top of these Bible Belt Republican dipshit fascist turds and actually make some big changes (ie. the ones he promised) before he's voted out next election.
Aiden Raccoon says
Is that for real or is it just some troll who got on the radio.
Rovex says
The most shocking thing about this is that anyone is actually shocked! You did realise there were people like this out there didn't you?
another matt says
This isn't real. No way. You can hear the smile in the caller's voice.
That being said, yes, there are millions of Americans who feel and think and could potentially act like this…and it's not just in the South.
patrick nyc says
David Brooks had a great column in todays NYTimes touching on this today. Though they are loud and scary, these freaks are small in number. That said, Timothy McVeigh did a lot of damage with two people.
JT says
How much does Signorile pay these actors to call his show?
Mike says
That man should definitely be expecting a visit from the Secret Service. As distasteful as everything he said was, threatening a military coup against the president, like threatening the life of the president, is a definitely an offense.
Mike says
I was also born and raised in Oklahoma, and most of the people there, especially those over 30, are deeply homophobic and racist.
Derrick from Philly says
This crazy wing-nut wants to bring back slavery.
I'm not sure that Mormons can deal with the heat of those cotton fields back down home. You got to have the physical fortitude. But give a try….Mormon Blondes in chains, honey…sounds kinda' kinky to me.
Gus says
Tell Jim and his group to swing by my house on their way to the White House. I would really like to see what truly stupid people look like.
Matthew says
Anybody else wishing these types would just go all Jonestown on us?
JT says
LOL. You guys actually believe this is real. Gays are so easy to fool. (Signorile has become the gay Jerry Springer….or P.T. Barnum).
Sancho says
I was kind of hoping he'd keep talking until he explained exactly how the revived slavery thing is going to work. Sounds complicated to me …
John says
What would be the point of having white men as slaves?
They're lazy, obstinate, and are practically worthless when it comes to manual labor. I see no economic value in buying such high maintenance servants.
NevadaBoi says
Well, I guess the upside is that the Secret Service has awesome evidence now. I am assuming (but who knows what the reality is) that the SS (such a poorly choosen name b/c of that acronym…if only Lincoln had know what would come later) will be all over Oklahoma's back woods quitely gathering intel on "Jim's" don't-call-it-a-clan Klan. Haa haa. Nice shooting yourself in the foot there buddy!
And why does a guy who hates gays listening to a radio program that airs on a GLBTQ only Sirius station??? Know your opponent I guess?
Dave says
I agree with most of the comments – this nutcase and his 200 people inside his head might not exactly be a threat.
But, let's not forget what happened in Oklahoma City in 1995. And not because the caller happens to be from OK – there are real crazy-minded people all over the US.
I grew up in a very right-wing household – we had Pat Robertson for President signs in our yard in 1988, and now they keep the TV tuned to Fox News. When the great Christian Fundamentalist Moral Majority organized in 1979, Halloween decorations were banned in our household!
Of course, I ended up being the liberal & gay kid, but my parents and I can still just "agree to disagree". They think things have gone too far when Limbaugh wants the president to fail, amateurs like Palin are popular, and their Rep. Joe Wilson yelled out "You lie!". They are still stuck in the Reagan era – too liberal for these people.
RT says
I am half black/white and most of my white relatives (Mom's side) live in KY, TN and NE. They HATE my Dad's side of the family. My black relatives (Dad's side) all live here in MA where I was born and raised and they HATE my Mom and her side of the family. We've NEVER had a family gathering where both sides come together for a weekend or anything because of the animosity they harbor against each other. It's simply disgusting. My Grandfather (Dad's side) told my brother and I when we were a lot younger that my parents should be ashamed for bringing mixed babies into the world. My southern relatives HATE Barack Obama with a passion. It's amazing to listen to the rants that spew from their mouths. One thing they all agree on is the fact that they are absolutely, 100% against gay ANYTHING!!! I have several family members aside from myself that are gay/lesbian and while the family claim to love and accept us for who we are, they'd NEVER accept our lifestyle. We are the definite black sheep of the family. I have relatives in prison for selling drugs, 1 is in the pen for murder and so on and so forth yet I am looked upon as lower than them because I like to suck d*ck? Baffles my mind. So for everyone who can't wrap their brains around these two radio clips trust me when I say it is VERY real and it's truly scary how narrow minded people still are. It doesn't matter what part of the country people are in either. Just look at my f**ked up family.
"Jedi" is the new "Gay" says
Christopher says
RT: I'm sorry to hear about the disfunction in your family and only wish it were truly rarer in this country. One thing black and white haters can agree on—they both hate the gays more
Wheezy says
@ Dave,
When I heard this I thought, "Oklahoma City is going to lose another federal building before Obama's term is over."
I know some people can't wrap their heads around this but it is real and I have know doubt that the religious right, Republicans, and Faux News will stir these loons up just as they did back in the 1990's until a bunch of innocent people are killed.
Lisa says
I'm in the same situation as Liz. My mom lives in San Marcos, used to be a hippie in the 60s, and Democrat up until around 2000. I am a lesbian, and an only child, and I know that hard for her to swallow. But she too buys into this right-wing bs. We've had talks about it to the point where she does not like to talk politics with me. She had always been somewhat of a racist when I was growing up. As she gets older, it gets scarier. She used to participate in Minute-Men rallies, and she's Mexican! It's unbelievable.
Attmay says
Bring back slavery? You mean the IRS isn't enough?
linkdigger says
Great find, Towleroad, thanks for the head's up. Put your link to this KOOK on my site today. I hope the men in black catch this pyschopath. Too many nuts running around! This is why we need more mental hospitals in like EVERY county of every state in the union. Scary people.

Gallery: Re:Vision Architecture Merges Historic Quaker House With Net Z...
Built by Re:Vision Architecture as an addition to a 19th Century Quaker house, this spectacular new design pushes the envelope of sustainability, all without disrupting the history of the place. The LEED Gold fusion of the old and the new has propelled the project into a net-zero energy realm, fit with an efficient shell, passive cooling, natural daylighting and a solar electric array. The project's environmental impact is reduced through a long list of green features that doesn't end at energy performance. The addition also makes use of reclaimed materials, sustainably harvested wood and a rainwater catchment system. The project located in Camden, DE is a complete gesture highlighting the potential of low-impact building, even on sensitive historic sites.

Traditional albanian restaurant.
Cervo very good.
Tipical albanian dish with cheese and spinach.
Very good red wine
Price not bad
One of the best places in Tirane, i was there last week for my sister birthday, the staff helped me also with a little surprise. the food were delicious, the wine was very good too.
This restaurant is a cozy place where you have the chance to experience some traditional Albanian specialties. Comfortable, a nice outdoor area and waiters in traditional dress create a special traditional atmosphere.
Was in town for only 2 nights and was lucky enough to dine here.
Service was good as was the atmosphere Menu was good with a lot of selection.
Enjoyed everything I ate highlight was the roasted lamb and the antipasti.
The entertainment was excellent 2 violinists and a pianist which keep me mesmerized really were very talented.
Would happily...
Tradicional and internacional cousine
The staff is great
Very clean
Beautiful place around it
Go there often
I have always been lucky enough to be treated to this restaurant on visits to the country and so can't comment on the pricing the food is always top calibre and the staff are friendly. The red wine in Albania is superb. I will be going back I hope.
If you are a foreigner, stay away from this overpriced tourist trap. They will suggest the traditional Albanian menu, serve you a few nibbles and charge you twice the price of a plentiful meal in any similar restaurant in Tirana.

I go there usually with my family. It is a nice restaurant and the food is delicious. There are a lot of varieties of food where you can find traditional albanian dishes also.

A unique restaurant which caters to a very varied audience. For me it is best when you can sit in the gardens and enjoy the greenery and the domesticated birds which wander around (peacocks, ducks etc.).

DRAFT An Introduction to the Provisioning Services Technical Committee 10/16/2001 Introduction The purpose of the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) is to define an XML-based framework for exchanging user, resource, and service provis ioning information. The Technical Committee will develop an end-to-end, open, provisioning specification developed from several supporting XML specifications. This document is intended to precede the formal standards definition process within the PSTC and set the stage for the initial discussions of the committee, compiling pre- existing XRPM and ADPR efforts, into a single, high level outline. It is intentionally devoid of much of the detail already defined and discussed in supporting materials. It aims provide a high level definition of provisioning within the context of the PSTC, an overview of the proposed scope, and a suggested road map for the first committee meeting. NOTE: This document has no formal standing within the OASIS TC submission and ratification process. It is therefore informal, non-binding and unofficial in that context. It is not the intention of this document to lay out definitive definitions, terms or scope, but rather to provide context for wider ongoing discussion under the formal terms of the PSTC. Terms • For the purposes of this document the term "working group" will be used to refer to the original OASIS members that sponsored the formation of the PSTC. • For the purposes of this document the term "resource" will be taken to refer to the target digital or non-digital systems" provisioned to. What does provisioning mean? Provisioning means many different things to many different people. Consider the following definition: Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Late Latin & Latin; Late Latin provision-, provisio act of providing, from Latin, foresight, from providEre to see ahead, Definitions: 1a: the act or process of providing b: the fact or state of being prepared beforehand c: a measure taken beforehand to deal with a need or contingency; 2: a stock of needed materials or supplies; especially: a stock of food -- usually used in plural. In our context, provisioning refers to the "preparation beforehand" of IT systems ' "materials or supplies" required to carry out some defined activity. In general, it goes further than the initial "contingency" to the onward management lifecycle of the managed items. This could include the provisioning of purely digital services like user accounts and access privileges on systems, networks and applications. It could also include the provisioning of non-digital or "physical" resources like the requesting of office space, cell phones and credit cards. The following short definition has been proposed by the working group (but is still under review and could possibly change). "Provisioning is the automation of all the steps required to manage (setup, amend & revoke) user or system access and entitlement rights to electronic services". What is a Provisioning System? At this stage it is not necessary to define the implementation or physical makeup of a provisioning system. It should simply be assumed that a facility or capability exists within a network to carry out provisioning actions on a given set of resources. In many (but not mandatory to all) provisioning systems, the "system" denotes the capacity to take provisioning requests and to execute them in the context of some pre-defined flow of execution. In many cases (but not mandatory to all) the provisioning system encompasses a formal work- flow to implement these pre-defined business process. Figure 1 shows a high- level schematic of two provisioning systems, each responsible for managing provisioning actions for a defined set of resources. Provisioning (A) Provisioning System A System B (B) (B) Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Resource Figure 1. Provisioning Systems. Why Do We Need Provisioning Standards? There are several areas of provisioning systems that would benefit from standardization. XRPM [1] and ADPr [2] both adequately address the business needs and possible benefits for establishing standardization in this space. Each initiative identified this need at opposite ends of the provisioning scenario depicted in Figure 1. XRPM set out to define the set of standards required to facilitate interoperation and functioning at the Provisioning-System-to-Provisioning-System level (labeled "A" in Figure 1). In contrast, ADPr set out to define the set of standards required to facilitate interoperation and functioning at the Provisioning-Systems-to-Managed-Resource level (labeled "B" in Figure 1). The PSTC has been formed to work through both areas of potential standardization with the goals of defining a single XML-based framework for the exchange of information at both levels. Provisioning-System-to-Provisioning-System Interoperability The need for Provisioning-System-to-Provisioning-System (P2P) standards is discussed fully in [3]. In summary, the intention is to define a standard XML dialog and supporting security infrastructure to enable the exchange of requests between provisioning systems. Several "modes of operation" may exist for this interaction. Issues around authentication, authorization, notification and general operational semantics all require discussion, qualification and definition by the PSTC. Provisioning-Systems-to-Managed-Resource Standardization The need for Provisioning-Systems-to-Managed-Resource (P2R) standards is discussed fully in [4]. In summary the intention is to define an XML vocabulary and schema for describing the structure and content of requests from the provisioning platform to the managed resource. ADPr also covers the notion of exchange between platforms (through the definition of authentication, authorization and administration information in the request structures). Unified Scope The PSTC sets out to define the schema and protocol under which both P2P and P2R provisioning requests can be securely issued between provisioning systems and from the provisioning system to the managed resources. Common System Elements A critical part of defining and ratifying standards in this space is agreeing upon common definitions for the data elements within the system. Before any dialog or exchange of provisioning data can be defined, the PSTC needs to set out extensible definitions of the key system elements. This will include (but is not limited to) system elements such as resources, organizations, requests and identities. Previous standards efforts have made progress in this regard [5]. The PSTC intends to leverage prior initiatives wherever prudent and possible. Supporting Standards Through OASIS and other standards initiatives, we now see the emergence of significant industry standards in and around XML. It is the stated intention of the working group to leverage relevant existing and emerging standards where ever possible. Figure 2 shows how existing standards might be used in the context of Figure1. It depicts a SOAP transport envelope with SAML authentication (and implicit signing and encryption), with a PSTC provisioning request to make a DSML specified change to a directory resource. The working group believes the PSTC will be strongly influenced by (but not limited to) the standards initiatives listed below. S S P D Provisioning O A ST S System A A M C M P L L Resource Resource Resource Figure 2. Possible Use of Existing Standards within This Effort SOAP SOAP [6] version 1.2 is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML-based protocol that consists of four parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a transport binding framework for exchanging messages using an underlying protocol, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application- defined data types and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses. The working group envisions SOAP as one of the defined transports for provisioning requests. Other transports to consider are SMTP,…. SAML SAML [7] is an XML-based security standard for exchanging authentication and authorization information. It is being defined by the Security Services TC (SSTC) under OASIS. The SSTC will produce set of one or more Committee Specifications that cover use cases and requirements, core assertions, protocols, bindings and a conformance suite, all of the aforementioned to be examined with respect to security considerations. The work takes into consideration the S2ML specification and the intended submission of AuthXML, along with other relevant and timely submissions. The goal (subject to revision) is to publish a substantially complete set of Committee Specifications by 1 Dec 2001, and submit a Committee Specification to the OASIS membership for its approval by 1 March 2002. The working group envisions SAML as the exchange definition for authentication and authorization information. XACML XACML [8] is a core schema for representing authorization and entitlement policies n XML. It is being defined by the XACML Technical Committee under OASIS. XACML is expected to address fine grained control of authorized activities, the effect of characteristics of the access requestor, the protocol over which the request is made, authorization based on classes of activities, and content introspection (i.e. authorization based on both the requestor and potentially attribute values within the target where the values of the attributes may not be known to the policy writer). XACML is also expected to suggest a policy authorization model to guide implementers of the authorization mechanism. DSML DSML [9] is an XML specification for marking up directory services information. It is being defined by the Directory Services TC under OASIS. The Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) bridges the world of directory services with the world of XML. DSML 1.0 provided a means of representing directory information in XML. This Technical Committee is working on DSML 2.0 which will add support for querying and modifying directories CIM The DMTF Common Information Model (CIM) [10] is an approach to the management of systems and networks that applies the basic structuring and conceptualization techniques of the object-oriented paradigm. The approach uses a uniform modeling formalism that—together with the basic repertoire of object-oriented constructs— supports the cooperative development of an object-oriented schema across multiple organizations. A management schema is provided to establish a common conceptual framework at the level of a fundamental typology—both with respect to classification and association, and with respect to a basic set of classes intended to establish a common framework for a description of the managed environment. The management schema is divided into these conceptual layers: XML Signatures The mission of this working group [11] is to develop an XML compliant syntax used for representing the signature of Web resources and portions of protocol messages (anything referenc eable by a URI) and procedures for computing and verifying such signatures. This is a joint Working Group of the IETF and W3C XML Encryption The mission of this Working Group [12] (WG) is to develop a process for encrypting/decrypting digital content (including XML documents and portions thereof) and an XML syntax used to represent the (1) encrypted content and (2) information that enables an intended recipient to decrypt it. The Proposed Charter One of the first jobs of the PSTC will be to establish quorum and agree upon a formal charter for the group. The following was put forward by the working group. Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) Proposal Name of the TC: OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) Statement of purpose: The purpose of the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) is to define an XML-based framework for exchanging user, resource, and service provisioning information. The Technical Committee will develop an end-to-end, open, provisioning specification developed from Provisioning specifications including the following: (The following specifications are of public knowledge, accessible, and freely distributed). - Active Digital Profile (ADPr) - eXtensible Resource Provisioning Management (XRPM) - Information Technology Markup Language (ITML) And any other relevant and timely submissions will be taken into consideration. Proposed list of deliverables and projected dates (subject to change): The PSTC will produce a set of one or more Committee Specifications that will cover the following: - Use cases and requirements - Information model - Protocol(s) - Bindings - Conformance All of the aforementioned are to be examined with respect to security considerations. The goal (subject to revision) is to submit a Committee Specification to the OASIS membership for its approval by September 2002.
