"Do You!": Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz Respond To Critics Of Her Makeup-Free VMA Look
There was a lot to talk about online during the Video Music Awards on Sunday. One person who had a lot of people chattering without even having to give a full performance that night was Alicia Keys. The star attended the awards with husband Swizz Beatz, and still holding strong to her decision to forgo makeup, Keys hit the red carpet and delivered the best male video award (as well as a rousing tribute on the 53rd anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech) with a fresh face. Of course, some weren't fans of her decision. People said that she should have put on some makeup and tried to look a little more glamorous for the event, stating that she should have done a bit more with her hair and attire as well. Others felt that being adamant about not wanting to wear makeup, even for special occasions, meant that she has an issue with women who do love to wear makeup.
Well, Keys disagrees with all of that. She took to Twitter to say this in response to detractors of her makeup-free and carefree look:
Y'all, me choosing to be makeup free doesn't mean I'm anti-makeup. Do you! 😘😘 pic.twitter.com/Mg0Ug9YA9q
— Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) August 29, 2016
And her husband, Swizz Beatz, was confused by the fact that people would take issue with whatever she does or doesn't choose to put on her face. So, he also told those individuals to worry about themselves.
At the end of the day, Keys looked beautiful at the Video Music Awards, as she always does. There's nothing off about natural beauty, and it's sad that some are so taken aback by the sight of someone embracing the skin they're in. However, as Keys pointed out, there's a certain power that comes with realizing that the opinions of others won't be the determining factor in how you choose to live your life. And when you reach that point where you really don't care, child, nobody can tell you anything. And such commentary clearly isn't phasing the singer, as this is her second awards show without makeup. She attended the BET Awards with a bare face:
The star also has started taping for The Voice, and continues to appear free of any creams, powders, liners, lipsticks and the like in front of cameras:
Continue to do you, Alicia!

Keep It Real Friday: Alicia Keys' Revealing Talk With Citizens Of Humanity
There's something about her…Alicia Keys has always been in touch with her human side. She has the ability to touch the lives of all she encounters in some way, shape, or form. Whether it's a song, a speech, or just her presence…people can feel the positivity of her energy. She has been a constant fixture for issues that matter by donating her personal time to help others. After a short hiatus due to the birth of baby boy Genesis, she jumped back into the spotlight this summer for her #NoMakeup campaign. She's decided to proudly go without makeup, stop covering up, and embrace her natural beauty. She's since been on a serious roll using her stardom as a platform to speak on a myriad of issues affecting the public. Here's some of our favorite quotes from her recent interview with Citizens of Humanity.
Alicia Keys talks human rights issues:
Alicia is no stranger to helping others. Between organizations like Keep A Child Alive and We Are Here, she is well aware of the social injustices that people face worldwide. Whether it's the Global fight to help people with AIDS to speaking on the police shootings plaguing the Black Community, she is on point with it all.
"Keep a Child Alive provides medicine for children and families who have AIDS who can't afford it. We also provide surrounding care around that as well. There are just not a lot of places you can go and get treated or get tested or get food even, and you can't take AIDS medicine and not have eaten. It's important; at this point we've helped almost 2.5 million people."
"With the We Are Here movement I was just personally angry—angered by turning on the TV and every second seeing this constant disrespect or inequality, and that's really what the main focus of We Are Here is about; it's really about inequality and justice all over the world. So We Are Here focuses on different organizations that focus on issues that I believe, when we look at them all together, will really be part of what will change the world for the better in so many ways."
Alicia talks her new album:
Aside from being a multi-talented artist, she is a wife and mother who takes all of her roles very seriously. Her new album, due out this fall, is already making waves around the world. She tells Citizen of Humanity, "The music for this album was created so fast — the fastest I've ever created music before. It was like raining down every night, like storms of music was just coming out. … We did probably 30 songs in like 10 days." She found out she was pregnant in the midst of trying to put the album together so that forced her to put things on hold. Her unplanned hiatus forced her to put things into perspective.
Motherhood changes people in many ways. Alicia is real when it comes to motherhood. She admits that when it comes to parenting:
"I'm still figuring it out; I can't say I've mastered it or anything but letting go, letting your kids have their own path. They are going to discover and they have their own journey, their own way they're going to figure out how to express themselves in the world and who they're going to be, and I think a lot of times as parents we project our thoughts or fears or images on them, and we have to let them be a little bit. We can't always answer every question; you don't have to tell them how to do it. They can figure it out, and we should give them the space to figure it out."
This right here is such an important piece to the parenting puzzle. A lot of parents will never admit the above and say they are still learning. People think they know it all or need to know it all and they definitely don't. Parenting ain't easy and if someone tells you that it is then they're doing it wrong. If you are not still willing to "learn" as a parent then you already lost the struggle.
Alicia talks relationship success:
Alicia and her husband Swizz Beatz recently celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary. Their relationship is very public but they keep it private at the same time. They work at making it work just like everybody else and their secret to relationship success is simple…presence and communication.
"I think the most important thing in any relationship is presence—being present and really choosing to make the time and take the time for the people that you love … not letting a part of your job be more important or a part of your career be more important, you know? And communication—really talking about who you are, because we grow, and we should be growing together … So you're both growing and both evolving and learning more about yourself and learning more about each other, and I think when you give each other the opportunity to continue to know each other, that really strengthens it. Me and my husband, we have this thing, we'll call it Keep It Real Tuesdays if it's Tuesday, if it's Friday we're like Keep It Real Fridays, and we just have to be honest, whatever it might be."
Success means different things to everybody. Alicia measures success by measuring happiness…"Success to me mostly is happiness, and when I say happiness I don't mean that in a generic way. I mean if I'm going through a day and I'm feeling good, I'm feeling that I'm on my path, I'm feeling invigorated, I'm feeling inspired, I'm feeling at the end of the night that it was a good day. To me that's success, because there is so much in the world that wants to take you out of your happiness, you know, and to figure out a way to maintain that and to maintain inspiration and to maintain excitement, vigor for life and the next thing for yourself—whatever that is, to me that's success. So happiness to me is success. Honoring myself and honoring my family and making sure that those things feel like they're in the right order and balance, it can be difficult but it's possible. But to me, that's success."
Alicia continues to make awesome power moves and ground herself at the same time. She is a role model for young women everywhere and very much still #OnFire. You can check out the full Citizens of Humanity interview here and look out for her new album to drop early this fall.
Little Egypt Dean And Why You Should Stop Telling Your Children What They Can't Do
Last night was another good night for Hip Hop as Kendrick Lamar released a new, surprise album called untitled unmastered. Any Kendrick fan knows that it is a sonic and lyrical treat. The boy doesn't play.
And now that the secret is out, information about its completion is seeping out. Chief among the truth spillers is super producer Swizz Beatz. Beatz himself wasn't involved in the project, his 5-year-old son Egypt Dean was.
Following in both his mother and father's footsteps, the little one produced the second to last track on Lamar's album, which is, as the album name suggests, untitled. It's just track number 7.
Understandably proud of his son, Swizz got on Instagram to talk about his son's contribution to the project.
It should have been a moment for us all to marvel at this Black Excellence, wrapped in such a tiny package. Instead, when Beatz's post was shared by The Shade Room, the comments were alarmingly negative.
People said things like, Yeah, and when I was 2 I competed in the World Cup. or At 5 years old, you can't even read. How he produce a whole song? or At five years old, you don't even have all of your motor skills.
Basically, various ways to state that Swizz Beatz was lying on his son's actual talent and capabilities. Instead of taking Egypt's talent as an inspiration, these people likely looked at themselves and became discouraged. Doing the hard work to accomplish your own dreams is much harder than tearing someone else down on social media, even if that someone else is a child.
I don't know if he read the comments on The Shade Room or he just wanted to stunt a little bit more, but later he included two more videos showing little Egypt putting the song together. And he made sure to note that he had no help.
Check him out.
Egypt making the beat for Kendrick !!!! Only 5yrs old🙏🏽 #Kendrick ⚡⚡ ⚡⚡⚡ shout out to the youth !!!!!! #blessingsonblessings FYI no help on the beat!!!
A video posted by therealswizzz (@therealswizzz) on
Part 2
None of us were there when the song was produced but I'm inclined to believe Swizz. Children are brilliant and sadly it's the people closest to them who extinguish that light. I can't remember who stated the very real fact that "Parents kill more dreams than anybody." The same parents who will watch their children take their first steps before they turn a year old, become fluent in a language before two and sing all the words to their favorite song on the radio, will turn right around and doubt that child's gifts and abilities believing that they're too young, too unskilled and inexperienced to exceed the limits of their parents' expectations. Interestingly enough, when these same people see young child prodigies on Ellen playing classical piano, we applaud that. Not really believing that their child is capable of the same.
It's devastating.
And frankly, the wrong way to raise a child you want to make a difference in the world. The thing about doubting or stifling a child is that the words don't expire once they are actually old enough to achieve some of the very things you, their parent, believed they couldn't. Your negative words, predictions and attitudes stay in their heads and create doubts within themselves. We can all understand that basic law of physics. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another.
That's the very same thing many of us are subconsciously doing with our children, transferring our negative energies. The world doesn't even have to work to get to our children. Their lights have been dimmed or dismissed before they ever left the house. It's time we start asking ourselves, what could they achieve if we saw things differently?
If their actions are not going to endanger or harm them, stop telling your children what they can't do.
Swizz Beatz Appointed Board Of Trustees Member Of Brooklyn Museum
Renowned producer and rapper Swizz Beatz has been known to dabble in the world of art.
Being first inspired by the graffiti-clad streets of his native home of New York's South Bronx, the multifaceted artist's love for the arts expanding beyond a beat machine and rapping rhymes after reaching success. These days, you can catch him sharing his favorite installations or newest additions to his extensive collection, which range from fine to abstract.
After landing the title of art collector and curator at SCOPE Miami in 2014, Beatz has tacked on another impressive bullet point to his artistic resume. Announced earlier this week by the Wall Street Journal, Beatz was appointed to The Brooklyn Museum's esteemed board of trustees.
Beatz' latest venture should come as no surprised as he's been privately collecting several of the artists the museums as shown, including KAWS, Swoon, Kehinde Wiley, and FAILE. In addition, he put his musical skills to use by spinning an exclusive DJ set for the museum during a FAILE exhibit over the summer.
#blessings #thedeancollection 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 @brooklynmuseum 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

As far making a difference with his newly appointed title, Swizz wants to take "art to the next level," he told WSJ. "I want to be able to pull out my global Rolodex."

Pass Or Play? Alicia Keys Drops New Track "28 Thousand Days"
Leave it to our gal Alicia Keys to pen an empowering track that will leave you motivated to chuck the deuces to life's trials and tribulations.
Yesterday (July 31) , the superstar dropped a new song entitled "28 Thousand Days." The upbeat and melodic track produced by none other than her husband Swizz Beatz flaunts her pitch perfect vocals over hard and triumph horns.
"Blood in my eye, hand on my heart/Feet on the ground, head to the sky/'Cause trouble ain't no friend of mine/I'm not giving it up, no more wasting time," she sings insisting that living life to the fullest isn't up for debate regardless of the circumstances.
Take "28 Thousand Days" for a spin.
Can You Guess The Identity Of This Adorable Celebrity Baby?
This little one is too precious! Can you guess who his parents are?
Here are a few clues.
This cutie comes from a very musical family. And is the second child to his parents, though he has several siblings.
That's it. Too much more would give it away.
Any guesses?

Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz Share Adorable Family Photo With Genesis Ali
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz share a picture of their two month old son Genesis in an adorable family picture. The couple, who married in 2010, announced the pregnancy on an appearance on The View back in September. The singer and her husband whose real name is Kasseem Dean, welcomed their second son, Genesis Ali on Saturday, Dec. 27 2014.
In this stylish and classic black and white family photo Alicia is holding Genesis and the family stares lovingly down at their new bundle of joy. Alicia looks stunning in her ornate applique gown and vintage inspired turban while all her boys look handsome and debonair in their bow tie clad suits. Alicia and Swizz are in the photo with the couple's son Egypt Daoud, 4, and Kasseem Jr, Beatz's son from a previous relationship.
"I think he's [Egypt] super excited because he's not going to be the youngest anymore,' . 'He's always kissing my belly.' Alicia said of her son's reaction to her pregnancy, in an interview with People.
Alicia talked about family life and how to balance blended families to Wendy Williams a few years ago…
"It's about the kids. When everybody is able to be an adult and recognize there is a beautiful value about the way we can all influence each other's lives and the lives of the kids, the kids are able to see that they have more than one woman to look to for guidance and love," Alicia told Wendy Williams.
"It's all about fatherhood, motherhood and friendship which is really, really important. It doesn't always work, but it can work when everybody really wants to do the right thing for the children," she said.
"It's such an important thing, I think, the relationship between child, mother and grandparent," said Alicia. "This one really shows that."
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz Share First Of Newborn Son
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys are happier than ever.
The beautiful family posted a photo of their new addition to the family. The black and white photo showcases the couple with three of their children. Swizz's son Kaseem, Egypt and their newborn baby boy, Genesis Ali.
Keys gave birth to their second child in December 2014. This is the first official photo we've seen of the bundle of joy. We're wondering if the couple won't stop until they get another girl. Swizz already has a daughter from a previous relationship.
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys Welcome Son Genesis Ali

Congrats to Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz who welcomed their second child together, a son, Genesis Ali, on Saturday, December 27, 2014. Their son Egyot Daoud is four, and Swizz has three children (Prince Nasir, Kasseem and Nicole) from previous relationships.
The couple each announced his arrival on their Instagram accounts.
The "Girl On Fire" songstress and music producer revealed they were expecting a baby this past July on Instagram as well. "Happy anniversary to the love of my life," Keys wrote on Instagram. "And to make it even sweeter we've been blessed with another angel on the way!! You make me happier than I have ever known! Here's to many many more years of the best parts of life!"

[Photos] Alicia Keys And Swizz Beatz Celebrate Baby Shower
Over the weekend, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys celebrated the upcoming birth of their second child with an intimate baby shower. The sex of the couple's unborn child is still unknown at this time and judging by the pink and blue decorations from the shower, this could really go either way.
This weekend Swizz also celebrated the 8th birthday of his son, Kaseem Jr., whom he shares with ex-wife Mashonda.
Alicia first revealed her pregnancy over the summer with an adorable photo shared to Instagram, which was accompanied by a sweet anniversary message dedicated to her hubby.
"Happy Anniversary to the love of my life @therealswizzz," she exclaimed. "And to make it even sweeter we've been blessed with another angel on the way!! You make me happier than I have ever known! Here's to many, many more years of the best parts of life!"
It's unclear exactly when the pregnant beauty is scheduled to deliver the baby, but some have speculated that she's due sometime this month.
Check out more photos from the shower on the next page.

we are going to MP in April and we have an 8 year old in tow. Do you think she could hike the Short Inca trail? the travel agent told us that with some prodding she would be able to do it. she is a good hiker but not overly trained.
i think she certainly *could*.
will she actually *want* to? different question entirely. another question: do you want to risk it? of course the agent thinks you should, they gain a commission.
i personally wouldn't risk it, but you know your kid far better than i do.
The short inca trail is not too hard, the first day you need to walk no more than 6 hours, normally if you book as private service, you can keep your own steady pace.
This April? Not possible.......all permits sold out:
I agree with #1. Most 8-year-olds probably wouldn't enjoy a 6-hour (or more) hike. Trekking can get boring to a kid pretty quickly. Better to take hikes around Pisac & Ollantaytambo. Much more manageable (and interesting).

More Efficient and Effective Government:
Opportunities to Reduce Duplication, Overlap and Fragmentation, Achieve Savings, and Enhance Revenue
GAO-12-449T: Published: Feb 28, 2012. Publicly Released: Feb 28, 2012.
- VIDEO: Comptroller General Testifies to U.S. House on Government Duplication, Overlap and Fragmentation
In his February 28, 2012, testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives, Comptroller General Gene Dodaro provides an overview of GAO's 2011 Follow-up and 2012 Annual Report on opportunities to reduce duplication, overlap and fragmentation, achieve savings, and enhance revenue across the federal government.

What GAO Found
We identified 51 areas in our 2012 annual report, including 32 areas of potential duplication, overlap, or fragmentation as well as 19 opportunities for agencies or Congress to consider taking action that could either reduce the cost of government operations or enhance revenue collections for the Treasury. These areas involve a wide range of government missions including agriculture, defense, economic development, education, energy, general government, health, homeland security, international affairs, science and the environment, and social services. Within and across these missions, the 2012 annual report touches on virtually all major federal departments and agencies. We expanded the scope of our work for this years report to focus on areas where a mix of federal approaches is used, such as tax expenditures, direct spending, and federal grant or loan programs.
In our 2011 follow-up report, we assessed the extent to which Congress and the executive branch addressed the 81 areasincluding a total of 176 actionsto reduce or eliminate unnecessary duplication, overlap, or fragmentation or achieve other potential financial benefits. As of February 10, 2012, Congress and the executive branch have made some progress in addressing the majority of the 81 areas we identified; however, additional steps are needed to fully implement the remaining actions. Specifically, our assessment found that all actions had been addressed in 4 areas, partially addressed in 60 areas, and not addressed in 17 areas. In addition, OMB has instructed agencies to consider areas of duplication or overlap identified in our 2011 report and by others in their fiscal year 2013 budget submissions and management plans. The OMB guidance also advised agencies to take a number of other steps to enhance efficiency, such as identifying and including in their budget submissions cost-saving efforts that will improve operational efficiency and taxpayers rate of return, including program integration, reorganizations within and between agency components, and resource realignment to improve public services.
Under requirements established by the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act). OMB is also required to coordinate with agencies to establish outcome-oriented goals covering a limited number of crosscutting policy areas as well as goals to improve management across the federal government, and develop a governmentwide performance plan for making progress toward achieving those goals. The Presidents budget for 2013 includes 14 such crosscutting policy goals. Aspects of several of these goalsincluding Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Education, Entrepreneurship and Small Businesses, Job Training, Cybersecurity, Information Technology Management, Procurement and Acquisition Management, and Real Property Managementare discussed in our March 2011 and February 2012 reports. The Acts requirements provide a much needed basis for more fully integrating a wide array of potentially duplicative, overlapping, or fragmented federal activities as well as a cohesive perspective on the long-term goals of the federal government focused on priority policy areas.
Opportunities exist for the Congress and federal agencies to continue to address the needed actions identified in our March 2011 and February 2012 reports. Collectively, these reports show that, if the actions are implemented, the government could potentially save tens of billions of dollars annually. Cost savings related to reducing or eliminating duplication, overlap, and fragmentation can be difficult to estimate because the portion of agency budgets devoted to certain programs or activities is often unclear, or needed information on program performance or costs is not readily available. In some cases, there is sufficient information to estimate potential savings or other benefits if actions are taken to address individual issues. In other cases, estimates of cost savings or other benefits would depend upon what congressional and executive branch decisions were made, including how certain of our recommendations are implemented. Nevertheless, considering the amount of program dollars involved in the issues we have identified, even limited adjustments could result in significant savings. Additionally, we have found that agencies can often realize other kinds of benefits, such as improved customer service and decreased administrative burdens.

text: Home > Lifestyle > Woman > News Updated 11 April 2013 'Designer vagina' online info often inaccurate Women who go online to learn more about so-called "designer vagina" procedures often find poor and inaccurate information instead, a new study says. 0 Quiz Is my diet healthy? » 10 odours our noses can identify 6 body language mistakes to avoid Women who go online to learn more about so-called "designer vagina" procedures often find poor and inaccurate information instead, a new study says. Designer vagina procedures make claims for benefits such as "vaginal rejuvenation," "G-spot amplification" and even hymen repair to restore the illusion of virginity, as well as altering the shape of the labia. But, according to the study authors, the new findings highlight the need for clear guidelines to improve standards so women can make informed choices about this increasingly popular type of cosmetic surgery. There are "significant gaps in the breadth, depth, accuracy and quality of clinical information given by some service providers of female genital cosmetic surgery," wrote Dr. Sarah Creighton and Dr. Lih-Mei Liao, of the Institute of Women's Health in the United Kingdom. How the study was done In the study, the researchers examined five US and five British websites that provided information about female genital cosmetic surgery. In total, the websites mentioned about 72 procedures, but the lack of standard terminology made it difficult to determine the exact number, the researchers said. Only two websites indicated success rates, all of which were listed as 95% or 100%. However, an actual definition of success was not provided. All of the websites mentioned unproven social and mental health benefits, including restored confidence and self-esteem. Half of the websites suggested that the procedures would enliven sex lives, Creighton and Liao said. Many sites claimed the surgeries would make the labia appear "sleeker," and some websites offered hymen repair to ensure that the recipient would bleed on her wedding night and therefore be able to "keep [her] head high." All 10 websites did mention risks associated with the surgeries, but these risks were typically downplayed, the researchers said. Four sites failed to mention exactly what the risks were, and only one gave information on rates of follow-up surgery to correct problems. None of the sites provided a minimum age for surgery. The authors said this was "most disturbing of all," particularly since female anatomy changes throughout a person's life. The contents of the websites also played on women's fears about the appearance of their genitals, Creighton and Liao wrote. They believe that concerns about genital appearance might be better addressed by counseling or creams and emollients, rather than surgery. The study was published in the obstetrics and gynecology edition of the online journal BMJ Open.

Last week, a situation arose that rather surprised me. I was poking around the news search engines to see if any of the new information I presented at Search Engine Strategies in Munich was picked up by journalists or bloggers (often, one and the same people). I was a bit stunned to see one of my esteemed colleagues wrote an article about some of my previous writings.
What stunned me? First, I have a great deal of respect for this colleague. He's one of the few speakers for whom I'll rearrange my schedule in order to attend his sessions. Second, we're both heavily involved in the area of search usability. Third, (and this one's the kicker), he completely misinterpreted everything I wrote. Thank goodness another usability colleague who set him straight in the blog.
The situation inspired this week's column. Granted, there's plenty of bickering among SEM and SEO professionals. At what point does the bickering become unprofessional, and how can all of us, as an industry, come together and establish standards that benefits everyone: us (SEM/SEO professionals), our clients, and the search engines?
Black-hat vs. white-hat SEO professionals
Perhaps the most bickering occurs between white-hat and black-hat SEO professionals. I'm just as guilty as the next person for contributing to the verbal and written spats.
I'm going to come clean about my opinions about my black-hat colleagues because, quite frankly, I believe my opinions have been widely misinterpreted for many, many years.
I've made it pretty clear I don't agree with black-hat practices. I don't understand people who practice them because none of us would make a living from optimization or search advertising if the commercial Web search engines didn't exist. I see no need to exploit the search engines, and I'm very fortunate to have established a business and academic career based on these beliefs.
I recognize, however, that many of my colleagues don't share my beliefs. Considering our clients often compete for the same or similar keyword phrases, our clients' business goals are going to clash. As I've written previously about competitive SEO, my way of eliminating the competition is to report search engine spam on a regular basis.
Nonetheless, I have a great deal of respect for my black-hat colleagues. I've known many of them for years. Some actually started out in Web design and eventually ended up doing full-time SEO. I once worked at a Web hosting company. I know how much detail's involved in server maintenance. Not my cup of tea, to be honest, but power to those people with that special skill set who genuinely like doing that type of job.
It takes a great deal of intelligence, skill, and attention to detail to maintain search engine traffic through black-hat techniques.
Granted, I honestly believe most of my black-hat colleagues make erroneous cause-and-effect conclusions, and I believe they're quite delusional to think they know search engines' algorithms. (It's sort of cute, actually). But at no time did I ever state (or believe) these men are stupid. Quite the contrary. These men are very, very intelligent, and their attention to detail is impressive.
I simply don't agree with their way of doing business. I'm rather fond of many of my black-hat colleagues. David Naylor, in particular, is quite funny. I adore his naughty sense of humor, and he's one smart cookie. If I decide to continue graduate school in Manchester, I intend to be a gentle thorn on his side, just for kicks. I know he'll make me laugh, as he does now.
Insults vs. professional disagreements
The point at which we cross the professionalism boundary is when we resort to name-calling and exploiting another person's name in blogs.
In SEO, we're going to disagree. For example, as I have continued my academic education and training in user-centered design (UCD), which is at the very core of SEO and communicating a positive brand, I see connections my colleagues may not otherwise see as they're not exposed to it.
Does this mean I resort to name-calling and insults? Not really, though I may succumb to a weak moment and vent for a few minutes. Have I been a victim of unnecessary name-calling and insults? Certainly. I'm sure many of my colleagues have been undeserving victims of bickering.
I hope the SEO industry can get to a point at which bickering becomes unnecessary. We're going to disagree. Besides, if everyone agreed with each other, how would we learn?
That said, I'd like to end on a more personal note.
Gentlemen, I understand you want to encourage healthy debate as much as I do. However, it isn't necessary to exploit anyone's name (including my own) or resort to name-calling to get a point across.
That said, I won't take your bait. If you want my contribution to a topic or discussion, you'll have to do it in a way that's far more professional than insults, or twisting words to suit your needs.
I, in turn, will attempt to reel in my diva tantrums.
Meet Shari at Search Engine Strategies April 10-13 at the Hilton New York in New York City.

Browsewraps – Why Bother?
Here's a comment by Eric Goldman of Santa Clara law school on a California court of appeals case, refusing to validate an arbitration clause in a 'browsewrap' format – i.e. a link to 'terms of use' with no requirement of the contracting party to acknowledge them.
Are such clauses enforced in Canada, except to prevent obvious dishonest behaviour as in Sutton Realty in Quebec or the similar BC case, Century 21 v Rogers Communications, about scraping real estate listings off an MLS site? (See par 92ff of that decision). Why should they be?
The ULCC published a study of them . . . [more]

Recently moved to the area and thoroughly enjoy the valley.I enjoy taking my daughter for walks, bike rides and watching the water birds. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Takes me away from the everyday hustle and bustle and stresses of life. I feel very blessed to live near here and was terribly heartbroken to hear of plans of landfill operations. Praying daily that these plans are refused and we can continue to enjoy this beautiful green space and nature as it was intended.

"Our wedding theme is rustic so with this particular save the date it fit perfectly. My fiancé and I have been together for 10 years so it was a great story line for those whom we met in the last few years or so to share pieces of our history. Very fast shipping. I ordered on a Tuesday night and they arrived first thing Saturday morning. The printing was perfect."
"I was able to personalize by adding my wedding website. I received my proof the next day. Great service. Paper quality is wonderful."
"This post card is absolutely adorable. The designers were so helpful with choosing the correct colors and positioning the text. I do wish there was a spot to include a return address but overall everything is very nice. I would recommend this product!"
"This card was perfect for us and our beach wedding. We had a darker picture than the one in the example, but the different color options allowed us to pick one that would still show the text. I liked the way they slightly edited our message on the back of the card, it did look and sound better. Customer service was great, they helped make our picture look its best. The paper quality is nice, good thickness. I am so happy to share these with our loved ones."
"We wanted to alter the color and text of the standard design. Wedding paper divas were helpful, responsive, and produced a wonderful save the date. It was better than we had even hoped for. I highly recommend their service"

Art: Narrative Works Of Vincent Desiderio
By MICHAEL BRENSON
Published: December 4, 1987
VINCENT DESIDERIO is a 32-year-old artist, born and trained in Philadelphia, who makes large narrative paintings in a meticulous Old Master style. Using melodramatic stories of adventure and crime, he formulates intellectual messages similar to those of Mark Tansey, who paints esoteric allegories, and John Bowman, who seeds his cryptic paintings with in-references and art jokes.
Mr. Desiderio is blunter and more willing to leave himself exposed. In a refreshingly ''dumb'' manner, his elaborate and refined works, at the Lang & O'Hara Gallery, enter into the post-modernist dialogue about such issues as heroism, originality, fiction, politics, theatricality and the relationship with the past. Although these paintings, like those of Mr. Tansey and Mr. Bowman, need keys to unlock them, they are presented in ways in which the artist's anger, doubt, passion and irresolution are clear.
In ''An Effort of the Will,'' the anger is unmistakable. The setting suggests a typical apartment of a prominent collector. Behind the grand piano in the living room are two monuments of Abstract Expressionism, Franz Kline's ''Chief'' and Willem de Kooning's ''Excavation.'' In the front room are two tribal sculptures, one on the wall, the other knocked over on the floor. Tribal art, like Abstract Expressionism, played a key role in the development of modernist art.
Inside the front room are young thugs inspired by Caravaggio. They have come to destroy.
One of them, holding an ax, resembles the artist. One of them is punching the paunchy middle-aged collector in his stomach.
The painting is a provocation against the middle class, whose involvement with art has clearly helped make the modernist heritage so problematical for Mr. Desiderio. Since the art depicted in the painting is either expressive or abstract, and the style of the painting is realistic, the work can also be read as a statement of alienation from modernism.
For artists who have no desire to become the next link in a modernist chain that holds together Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism, the present is wide open. So is the past. As long as artists accepted the American modernist paradigm of appearing to kill the past in order to preserve it, most of the past could be blocked out.
Along with the sense of deep affection for the past in Mr. Desiderio's paintings, there is a deep uncertainty about what it means and how to use it. In all three panels in ''Explaining Pictures,'' there is discovery and confusion. On the left, Arctic explorers dig up a woolly mammoth; on the right, a man is found dead in the bathroom of a train station - an echo of the death in Penn Station of the modernist architect Louis Kahn in 1974. In the central panel, a woman and child painted like a Renoir are on the floor with a rug painted like a Matisse. Nearby is a round peg and a square hole.
In each of the three panels of the 10-by-25-foot ''Obsolescence and Perpetuity,'' the past is both a force and a question. For example, in the center panel, surrounded by architecture filled with Roman associations, there is a sculpture based on a copy of a lost Michelangelo, ''Samson and Two Philistines.'' What the sculpture shares with the assassination taking place at its feet is violence. While a single heroic individual triumphs in the sculpture, however, in the crime one individual has no chance against the gang, of which the artist is a member.
The contradictions in the show are engaging. If the works challenge the idea of heroism, they are painted in a heroic manner, on a heroic scale. If they question the meaning of the past, they are painted in a realistic style that could not be more historically rooted. If the artist accuses the middle class of taming and co-opting art, probably only the affluent middle class could acquire and house his works. And isn't the link between the appearance of extreme brutality and the reality of extreme sophistication essential to the American modernism with which these paintings declare a break? These questions are definitely not limited to Mr. Desiderio's work alone.
The paintings of Vincent Desiderio remain at the Lang & O'Hara Gallery, 569 Broadway, at Prince Street, through Jan. 2. Raphael Soyer Forum Gallery 1018 Madison Avenue (at 79th Street) Through Dec. 29
When Raphael Soyer died last month at the age of 87, this exhibition of almost 50 paintings became a memorial. The paintings span 60 years and define the difference between his early and late styles. They also represent many of his subjects and themes, including dancers, bohemians and life in the streets and studio.
The popularity of Soyer's work has to do in part with its humility. There is no interest whatsoever in glamour. Even at the end of his life, he worked in a studio that was spare, with a cot, sink, mirror and almost nothing else. This artistic world has nothing to do with the vast lofts and factories of production that have been identified with recent American art.
Soyer appears to have seen his models not only as muses but also as workers. And when he painted a tailor by his sewing machine, his table like a canvas, there is a sense that he saw himself the same way, working with total concentration to get every detail right. Like his choice of subjects, his attention to every stroke and color was part of a moral code.
