One of Brian's Favorite Quotes
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
Opinion: Ah, To Be Young, Rich, White, Male, College-Educated, Straight, And In Love (by Herbert Marshall)
I may be getting on in years, but I still consider myself a bit of a romantic. Why, just today, I was strolling through the park when I happened to
There's really nothing quite like it.
When you're in your twenties, a man, descended from Anglo-Saxon genes, born into immense luxury, able-bodied, surrounded by friends, family, and authority figures who support you, mentally alert, straight, possessing a degree from a respected four-year institution, and head over heels in love, the world just seems like a magical place, doesn't it? The sun shines brighter, the breeze blows sweeter, and it feels like you're on top of the world! Anyone who's ever been captivated like that and has had all the advantages life has to offer handed to them on a silver platter because of their race, class, family history, and education level knows exactly what I'm talking about.
I mean, just knowing that you've got that special someone—as well as the monumental opportunities afforded to you by being an affluent white male in his twenties who was born into a democratic society with limitless social mobility—can make you feel like the luckiest man alive. Yes, when you're in love and the recipient of every possible benefit imaginable—be it lifelong financial stability or peerless social stature—it feels like it's just you, the object of your enchantment, and your unshakeable position within the top echelon of privilege. Nothing else matters.
Just think about how rare young love is! What a special thing it is to have found someone who truly cares about you! And, similarly, how special it is to have never faced discrimination due to your race, gender, sexuality, religious preference, or social class; to live in a safe, crime-free neighborhood; to have enjoyed a stable childhood in which you never felt afraid for yourself or your loved ones; to possess a strong, healthy body and mind that allows you to surmount any obstacles that would impede less fortunate individuals; and to have parents whose financial prosperity ensures that you will always have a safety net in the unlikely event that even the merest trace of hardship or want should at any point intrude upon your life.
It makes you feel, well, pretty much invincible.
Ah, youth! Ah, love! Ah, living under a government that neither oppresses its people nor prevents them from pursuing their ambitions, having no children and no debt to prevent you from doing whatever you want at all times, being enrolled in health insurance, having free access to the numerous conveniences afforded by modern technology, living in a large metropolitan area with an array of job opportunities and unlimited diversions, and having been swept off your feet by the girl of your dreams! It truly is a gift.
So drink deep of love, you young, amorous, entitled, and racially favored men! Enjoy your romantic infatuation, just as you enjoy your separation from the troubles afflicting the billions of people who, simply by virtue of who they are, can never aspire to the life you live, cloistered within an impermeable bubble of wealth and social mastery that no harm or worry can ever breach. It truly is as marvelous as the old poets say.
I just wish everyone could experience that feeling.

PHOTOS: LGBT welcome party attracts delegates and locals
ENGAGE: Write a letter to the editor | Comment on this story
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Organizers of the Unity Through Community LGBT welcome event for the Democratic National Convention said nearly 1,000 people attended their special event on Sunday evening, held at the new North Carolina Dance Theatre building on S. Tryon St., just blocks away from official convention venue sites in Uptown Charlotte.
Among the guests were recognizable names like former Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese, Democratic National Committee Treasurer Andy Tobias, National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Jerame Davis and his partner Bil Browning of Bilerico.com. Also present was Campus Pride Executive Director Shane Windmeyer and several Human Rights Campaign board members including Meghan Stabler. And, according to blogger Joe Jervis, other big names in the LGBT community were also present, including former Empire State Pride Agenda Executive Director Brian Ellner and Clinton White House advisor Richard Socarides.
On the local front, openly gay Charlotte City Councilmember LaWana Mayfield and openly gay Chapel Hill, N.C., Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt attended the party, as did openly gay North Carolina state Rep. Marcus Brandon and Charlotte City Councilmember Patsy Kinsey, who represents one of the most diverse and gayest districts in the city. Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx, popular with LGBT voters, welcomed those in attendance to the city.
Organizer Craig Snider, one of dozens of locals who came together to plan the party, said the event bested all expectations. Several delegates from across the country, he said, told him they were pleased with the welcome which defied all their expectations.

These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are.

The locker room is still a workplace
It's time for unofficial codes to be replaced by clear, safer, enforced policies
Culture Of A Locker Room
Not every locker room in the National Football League is like the one in Miami.
There aren't out-of-control thugs in every locker room who allegedly think it's appropriate to hold team meetings at strip clubs or fondle a woman with a golf club or say vile things about a teammate's sister. There aren't guys who think that belittling and demeaning a teammate – as opposed to supporting and befriending him – is acceptable behavior.
True professionals populate many of the locker rooms around the NFL. There are plenty of players who respect their craft and respect the men who forged the trail so that they now can make the ridiculous amount of money they make and play the sport they love.
But the mess in Miami has shown that the NFL must do a better job defining the workplace and establishing what constitutes acceptable and appropriate behavior, because somewhere along the way in Miami, there was a massive failure of leadership. In the locker room. In the front office. And in the coaching ranks.
Somewhere along the way it became OK for Richie Incognito to harass Jonathan Martin. That is definitely not OK. And it can never happen again.
The locker room is a place for bonding and ribbing and joking, but it is also a place for business. In the NFL, it is part of the workplace. It is not exempt from the laws that apply to Fortune 500 companies or mom-and-pop shops.
It is a workplace. Among the litany of questions that remain to be asked – and answered – in regards to the Martin-Incognito firebomb that has embarrassed and infuriated so many people in and around the league is who exactly is defining the workplace?
By the sound of things in Miami, the Dolphins players defined the workplace. Management allowed it. The players set the rules for the locker room. They determined what was fair. They allowed an environment to exist where Incognito could demean, belittle and insult Martin. In their minds, the locker room is their domain to be policed however they deem fit.
Except there is one massive problem with that: The locker room is the workplace.
"All hell is going to break loose," said a league source. "You have a right to feel safe. As an employer, we are supposed to provide you a safe place to work."
Even in the locker room the rules apply.
Only Martin didn't feel safe in the Dolphins locker room. He didn't feel comfortable. After a season and a half with Miami, Martin felt it was safer to flee the complex, leave the team and jeopardize his career than it was to keep enduring the abuse. Incredibly, he's been vilified for that decision and labeled soft while Dolphins players have propped up Incognito, either out of fear of retribution or concern that they, too, eventually will be implicated.
That is horribly, horribly wrong.
No one is going to walk away from this scandal unscathed. Not the players involved, some of whom we know, some of whom we don't. Not Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland, who reportedly suggested to Martin's agent, Rick Smith, that Martin should handle the situation by delivering a "punch" to Incognito. Not Miami coach Joe Philbin, who is accountable for every detail of his team. Not Miami owner Stephen Ross, who is ultimately responsible for his franchise.
And not even NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. This is a workplace issue, and for an NFL team, the locker room constitutes the workplace.
It's time for the unwritten rules and code of the locker room to be replaced by firm policies that are understood and enforced. What sort of behavior is acceptable in the workplace, including in the locker room? What isn't? What constitutes harassment? Where is the line between teasing and bullying? What exactly is fair game? Spell it out.
This doesn't have to infringe upon the team building that goes on in locker rooms, but given what has happened in Miami, there need to be uniform rules that are understood, reviewed and enforced, once a year, twice a year, 10 times a year, whatever it takes.
The problem is this really hasn't been a priority for the league as a governing body or for the teams. Some coaches and general managers don't want to deal with compliance training -- a common corporate activity that ensures no employee can claim ignorance of the rules.
The league hasn't devoted the financial resources to producing a uniform educational standard. They leave it up to the individual clubs, and only one, the New York Jets, has mandatory compliance training. The other 31 do not.
The NFL addresses the issue in its player policy manual, which it provides to every player during training camp. In it, there is this sentence: "Our Excellence in Workplace Conduct program is built upon our belief that all NFL players and prospective players have the right to work in a positive environment that is free from any and all forms of harassment, intimidation and discrimination."
Instead, maybe it should contain any number of passages from Bill Walsh's football bible, "Finding the Winning Edge." The league could start with this one from Walsh about hazing:
"The key point to remember is that hazing is dehumanizing. It does nothing to bond athletes to each other. Bonding between players occurs on the field when the veterans learn to trust and respect the abilities and commitment of the rookies."
That didn't happen in Miami. Just the opposite, in fact. And the league needs to ensure, however it must, that what happened to Martin never happens to one of its players again.

Report warns of cyberthreat to US banks
Hackers may stage a massive fraud attack on 30 US national, investment and regional banks early next year, according to a new cybersecurity report.
The report, scheduled to be released Thursday by McAfee Labs, warns the financial industry to be wary of software that creates fraudulent online banking transactions. Hackers could create fake bank transactions, or skim a portion of high-dollar bank transfers, the report said.
The report links the threat to a program called Project Blitzkrieg, which hackers say has been in development since 2008 and has already stolen $5 million. The attacks have now reached the United States, McAfee reports. There have been 300 to 500 U.S. victims in the past couple of months, and the effort could reach full strength by spring, said Pat Calhoun, a network security expert at McAfee.
The McAfee report backs up an October report from cybersecurity firm RSA that said a Russia-based hacker nicknamed "vorVzakone" was recruiting for the "most substantial organized-banking Trojan operation seen to date." In an unusual move, vorVzakone publicly discussed his plans on Web forums and in videos, leading some to believe that effort was simply a law enforcement trap.
McAfee found that the threat is not only real, but accelerating.
The software can mimic valid banking transactions and even intercept tracking e-mails consumers use to flag suspicious activity. Calhoun said hackers could target high-dollar transactions, making it more likely that small discrepancies will be overlooked.
"It is a very clever way of doing something. It utilizes the same protocols designed to protect you to harm you," said Hemanshu Nigam, chief executive of cybersecurity firm SSP Blue.
Hackers have increasingly targeted U.S. banks in recent months. In September, hackers flooded the consumer sites of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase with traffic, causing them to crash.
Nigam said hackers may use such attacks to understand bank security protocols and designs.
Doug Johnson of the American Bankers Association said financial institutions are aware of these threats and rely on information from the public and private sectors to stay prepared.

INPUT | Jacuzzi, Nadus, Obey City, Budo Kiba Collective, Subset
Ryan York aka "Jacuzzi" is a 19 year old producer from Honolulu, Hawaii.
Though he has a limited number of releases under his own name thus far, Jacuzzi's extraordinary production skill and musical composition have been tapped by some of the most popular DJs in the world, his instrumentals requested by several of 2013's most respected multi-platinum hip-hop artists.
In December 2013, Jacuzzi released his debut EP, Mizu, to over- whelming critical support and over 15,000 downloads via his website, Jacuzzi.FM. The EP received support from Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Sinjin Hawke, Munchi, Whats So Not, JWLS, Mr. Carmack, Craze, Madeon, and many more. Produced at Avex Studios in Hawaii (Kanye's "Yeezus") and Just Blaze's StadiumRed in NYC, "Mizu" is a cinematic concoction of future bass, grime, hip-hop, and popular bass music.
Now, hot off the heels of his official remix for RCA Records' Tinashe, Jacuzzi is back with a new release featuring fellow Hawaiian producer, Mr. Carmack.
Although his unique sound sees no boundaries, New Jersey's Nadus truly excels at creating and producing fast-paced Juke, hard-hitting hip-hop, and energetic Jersey Club under the umbrella of East Coast Club music.
Nadus has come a long way since Dirty South Joe, Tim Dolla, Mike V, and the Brick Bandits family put him on the map when he was only fifteen years old. Now at twenty years old, Nadus' signature sound and masterful performances behind the decks have taken him as far as Sydney, Australia. His original productions and remixes have been released on labels like Ninjatune, Palms Out Sounds, Ghettophiles, and Kingdom's Fade To Mind Imprint. He has produced music for the Seattle rapper, Eighty4Fly and is the official DJ and producer for the rap group, NJ Rebels. Nadus is also the co-founder of the "Thread" party with Exrahk, DJ Reck, and Elete of St. Joe Louis.
Ever since he's been on the scene, Nadus has racked up a mile-long list of supporters amongst his peers of DJs and producers, including his mentor DJ Steel, Dave Nada, David Heartbreak, Munchi, DJ Sega, Nick Hook, Cobra Krames, DirtyFingers, DJ Ayres, DJ Tameil, WCKids, Luny P, Sinden, and Diplo, who even wrote a college recommendation for him.
Sam Obey aka Obey City (pronounced "oh-bee city") has a weird energy. This soft-spoken 26 year old New York native is at once a producer, deejay, label boss, tastemaker and champion of the new-New York underground. He effortless handles each role with zen-like serenity—in a lost tradition of American culture, one may have said 'suave'.
What started as casual experimentation and beat making for rappers and friends has evolved over the last 10 years into an unrelenting solo passion, resulting in a steady stream of sould-renched bedroom music that avoids trends in favor of the enduring. This is the direct product of Quincy Jones, of Tomita, of Stevie Wonder, of Mahavishnu Orchestra & undoubtably Todd Terry & Mobb Deep. It's through this new culture of producers attempting to recontexualize late 20th century soul with modern bootlegged DAWS that we can understand a subtle vein of pure melodic optimism.
Obey is humble when it comes to just about everything, but his penchant for the sounds of soul, funk and smooth jams has instilled a vibe that has grown up alongside a rapid evolving urban musical landscape. The result is glossy, shifting dance music that seeks the weird, the unrestrained, the cleverly odd.
Obey City's path really took shape in late 2009 with Atlantics, the debut release of his free net-label Astro Nautico, where he appeared alongside fellow label heads and longtime friends Kuhn and Paul Jones. Obey City's unique appropriation of nostalgic sound palettes for modern purposes led to his debut solo release 18 months later, the acclaimed Melted Magic EP, also on Astro Nautico.
2012 heralded Obey City's imperial expansion, first with his notable inclusion in Rustie's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix followed by his first release beyond Astro Nautico: MY RVM EP on B.YRSLF Division, featuring a remix by viral sensation Baauer. Soon he was signed to the Scottish powerhouse and Warp-partner LuckyMe, producing remixes for the likes of Freshmore and Civil Music, all while continuing to promote budding producers via Astro Nautico.
The future only looks to shine brighter, with his recent work culminating in the form of two EPs to be released on LuckyMe in 2013.
Depending on the setting, and more importantly what socks he's wearing, Subset throws down sets ranging from techno to booty house and everything in between. Whether it's setting the mood in an intimate room before Photek, bringing the main stage to a frenzy after Pendulum and Caspa, or bringing a dark Brooklyn afterparty into the sunrise, Subset has proven that he can adeptly read any room and decide which tracks best fit the mood.
Since 2011, Subset has been the resident DJ of New York City's weekly Bassment Saturdays party. He has utilized Bassment Saturdays as a way of giving underground artists an outlet to perform in front of an attentive and receptive crowd. Many artists, including Alvin Risk, CRNKN, Buku, Astronomar, and Sadhu all had their NYC debuts at Bassment. Entering its third year, Bassment Saturdays has upcoming guests including some of the heaviest hitters in dubstep and trap.
With a few original tracks and remixes ready for release, Subset is poised to take his unique brand of bass music global in 2014... or he might open a retirement home for cats.

On one hand, this is a robe:

As if Our Lady of GOOP would waste her side-ass on something as laaaaaame as Mortdecai. This is a side-boob only joint. (I admit to being curious to hear what she's privately calling this one, since she's on record as referring to View From The Top as "View From My Ass." I kind of want to get caught in an elevator with Gwynnie. You'd have to be there for a LONG TIME before she'd break, I think, but once she broke, you'd get DISH. And probably some weird recipe for an organic face wash.)

I am not entirely sure what's happening here:
At first I thought she was wearing a glamorously weird McQueen take on a caftan, but actually, the gown seems more fitted than that, so… she might just be wearing a glamorously weird McQueen, full-stop. It has a sleeve that thinks it might be a cape. Still… even if it's not floaty enough to hide my snack bloat, I could TOTALLY swan around in that on someone's yacht deck by night, a flute in one hand — of Champers, not of musicality — and a plate stacked high with cheese in the other. There's something appealingly luxe about its kookitude, like this isn't just an outfit but a lifestyle.
[Photo: Getty]
I was going to full-out fug this, and then I looked at it, and it's CRAZY but I might kind of enjoy it?
But it might just be the cozy goodness of that coat speaking to me.
[Photo: Splash]
Okay, let's work through this together.
We've got an ornate collar (lovely) and a gold color (usually a yes) and a whole lot of lace (… it depends) and some black pumps (zzz) that seem to have a very elegant shape to them at least (true) and no platform (PRAISE) but the double skirt looks like a window (yeesh) and she seems to have her hands jammed into translucent pockets (…?) because I can still SEE her hands (!!!!) I think (pretty sure) even though I shouldn't be able to (right?) and it's freakish (… the hell?), and you know what (what?), I've talked myself right out of this one.
[Photo: INF]
Saint Laurent always looks phoned in to me — like once they lost the Yves, they also lost the will to live — but this isn't….I mean. It's….I can't even muster up the oomph to finish the sentence. IT'S FINE. THERE. Two words. Seven letters. One sweet apostrophe. I did it:
But FINE is probably exactly right when you won a Golden Globe on Sunday and you know that this — an event at which she also won — is just a pit stop on the commute to Oscarville. You have to leave something in the tank for the last ten miles of the journey, after all. (Maybe take a detour around the Sheer Bib Portion of the drive next time, though. It's so unsightly and traffic is terrible.)
