No New Enemies Network
Anonymous Gallery hosted a live painting brunch with seminal New York "street artist" ( I feel weird using today's definition of that term here) Kenny Scharf on Saturday, as he prepared the walls for Wednesday's opening of "In Dialogue", which is guest curated by Peter Makebish.I love seeing Kenny Scharf pieces around town, although they are few and far between. They feel like part of a time capsule from the Lower East Side of the 80s when he ran around painting the streets with Keith Haring and showed with the likes of the infamous Fun Gallery and Tony Shafrazi. Ever influenced by television and cartoons, Scharf has always tried to test the line between high and low art with his spacey cartoon characters, which seems more playful and poppy than younger street artists today.
IN DIALOGUE – Four Generations of Painting
Curated by Peter Makebish

Brendan Cass . Sante D'Orazio . Matt Jones . John Newsom

Rhong Tiam and Collective on Eater NY.
(via Eater NY)
Last night marked the beginning of a new chapter in the Kurve/Rhong Tiam saga. Community Board 3 had no trouble greenlighting Andy Yang, owner of those two locations, for a full liquor license at 169 Bowery, the 3,000 square foot Collective Hardware space, as mentioned last month. 169 Bowery was once home to vaudeville house Miner's Theater. After nearly burning down in 1922, the space turned into a Chinese theater and then eventually became Weiss's hardware store. Now it's Collective, a gallery space/designer boutique/hair salon/music venue/pop-up store, and according to its website, Rhong Tiam will be moving into the second floor…
As the 53rd Venice Biennale enters its last days and the world's art community reflects, Anonymous Gallery, curator Spy Emerson and the artist Swoon provide a glimpse of what critic Jerry Saltz called "…The most moving moment I had at the Biennale…"
Pankabestia: Punk Beasts of the Swimming Cities of Serenissima, is a retrospective of artist Swoon's "Swimming Cities of Serenissima", the artist's recent invasion of the Venice Biennale. Traveling from the Karst region of Slovenia to Venice, Italy, Swoon and more than 30 other artists braved the waters of the Adriatic Sea and navigated a fleet of three intricately hand crafted vessels. The exhibition, curated by Spy Emerson, opens on November 20, 2009 and will include large-scale wall drawings, original Swimming Cities boat installations, portions of the ships, found objects acquired from sea. The exhibition will also feature performers Moses and Spy, Tianna Kennedy and Adina Bier, beautiful photographic documentation from artist Tod Seelie, and original artwork from Swoon, Spy Emerson, Monica Canilao, plus many more.

Subculture Capital Exhibit: October 14-16
Gallery Exhibition: OCTOBER 14 – NOVEMBER 15
Popular culture most typically refers to the broad spectrum of general society whose ideas, perspectives, attitudes, images and other phenomena are deemed preferred within the mainstream. However, most often these perceptions originate from subcultures that represent perspectives with which the mainstream popular culture has only limited familiarity. Popular culture changes rapidly and occurs uniquely in place and time and represents a complex number of mutually interdependent values that influence society and its institutions. Subcultures however, differentiate themselves by way of alternative linguistic, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, and/or geographical dispositions that become the foundation for qualities adopted by the masses, but filtered and then amplified.
"Subcultural Capital" is described as the cultural knowledge and commodities acquired by members of a subculture, raising their status and helping differentiate them from members of other groups. Ronnie Cutrone, Rammellzee, Kostas Seremetis, and Romon Kimin Yang aka Rostarr, signal their membership through the distinctive use of style, spontaneity and popular iconography derived from their subcultural influences – and elevate as masters of their craft. Characterized by themes drawn from popular mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects, the exhibition, Subculture Capital integrates subculture and mass culture, pop art and post modernism. Using techniques that include appropriation, collage, painting, sculpture, film, and performance, these four artists individually refine and stylize their cultural influences, manipulating them into embodiments of personal compilations.

Worst. Question. Ever. I hate answering this during an interview. What is my go-to answer? "I have a problem with authority." Just kidding. Usually it's a toss-up between being too detail-oriented (how is that a weakness?) and "diving into the work without a formal plan in place" (the latter is a weakness I GUESS but it's just my method and it works for me).
I hate being interviewed and when I was a manager I hated conducting them. The questions are canned and don't give much insight into a person's skills and personality. There are obvious right answers which defeats the purpose of getting to know a candidate to find out if he/she is a good fit. When I was a manager we were provided an interview cheat sheet with a list of the usual questions. I hated asking them but I didn't know what else to do. You can ask a candidate where they want to be in five years but they aren't going to be honest with you. These days no one works at the same company for more than five-ish years. There is no company loyalty because companies are ever-changing and offer little stability to its employees. Year after year the benefits decrease and the grievances become unbearable.
My best friend has been working for her current company for about five years and while she has bounced around doing various admin jobs she is currently responsible for their payroll (among other accounting tasks). This means, of course, that she gets to see what people are paid. She told me about a girl that was just hired for the entry level admin position where my friend also started with the company. The new girl doesn't have a college degree (my friend has her BA) or any admin experience; what she does have, however, is a bigger paycheck. My best friend, who is the new girl's superior, makes about $5,000 less per year. Ouch.
That would certainly piss me off if I were her. What do you do in that situation? Nothing. Quit? Sure. You have to find a new job first.
Basically I am trying to prepare myself for the typical questions while hoping that they don't ask me the usual "tell me about yourself." I hate that question. It's open-ended. And I truly believe that they don't really care about who I am. I love heavy metal and I'm a vegetarian. Does that make me more qualified for this job than the next person?
2 Responses to "Interview prep"
Last time I was asked this question, I answered it truthfully and told the interviewer that I am a terrible, awful, dreadful bad driver. She laughed because she thought I was joking, (I really wasn't) but it broke up the tension of what could otherwise have been an awkward moment. ( I did get that job, by the way)
So, if you have something like that – like you put the toilet paper roll on backwards, or you're bummed for days when the Broncos lose a football game…you might try a slightly silly answer, if the interviewer seems cool with it.
Also, in my experience, "tell me all about yourself," means "tell me about your career path to date, tell me about some big projects you've done and how you approach your daily tasks." They don't give a toss if you make a mean Quorn fajita or if you can construct elaborate peyote-stitched bead earrings.
Best of luck!

Are Search Engines Confusing Surfers?
Posted 15 October 2003 - 08:49 PM
It's the same way I would feel about any other supposedly unbiased source giving me results that were paid without telling me. If a financial advisor tells me about a great mutual fund, and it really is a great mutual fund, I still want to know that he was paid to tell me that. It doesn't mean I wouldn't buy it, but it allows me to make an informed decision.
I think you actually helped to make my point... if Trusted Feed has an advantage over regular listings, the user should be made aware of that.
Affiliate sites exist only for advertising. IMO, it is up to the owner of the brand/company to handle their affiliates and what they allow. I don't see that as the job of the SE.
Posted 15 October 2003 - 09:59 PM
But so does a site that hired an SEO. A Huge advantage. The advantage from Trusted Feed is directly proportional to the skill of those producing the feed in exactly the same way as an SEO campaign's effectiveness in achieving rankings is directly proportional to the skill of the SEO. It is not an advantage inherent to Trusted Feed, or at least shouldn't be. The same content on a page that is indexed should rank just as well.if Trusted Feed has an advantage over regular listings, the user should be made aware of that.
That is a very strong argument, and one I agree with that in the most part. Where I disagree is in regards to what defines the because, and also worry that labelling any paid listing will potentially have massive repercussions, many of which are bad. Unless we know that labelling listings is an improvement, in to whatever the problem is, then we shouldn't leap. Also, what will this form take? Ads in MSN are labelled "Sponsored Sites", and Inktomi results "Web Pages". However, each individual Overture listing doesn't have any label, just the section. So what form would the labelling have? Whether to label or not is one issue, what form such a labelling takes is another.I do believe it is deceptive when a listing exists in the results page because the search engine was paid
People should able to read where the results come from, that much I agree entirely with. However, what form that takes is extremely important and needs to be discussed as well. If "Web Pages" were renamed "Sponsored Web Pages and Results" would that be enough?
On a related note, how would a user find out exactly where each type of result came from? Although the colours are clearly marked, wouldn't having easily clicked explainations, ala MSN be a good idea??
Posted 15 October 2003 - 11:38 PM
But how can that possibly be the responsibility of the search engine? Maybe we can all sign pledges to voluntarily tag the listings of the sites we work on...But so does a site that hired an SEO.
To me, SEO is not deceptive, it's a business edge. Back to the newspaper analogy, (sorry!) the company who hires a public relations team is likely to get a lot more press than one that sits around and hopes a reporter will call. It's about putting your best foot forward, polishing your image. Making an effort to be noticed.
Most SEO's do things that should have been done when the site was first set up anyway! If more designers were on the ball, many of us would be out of a job.
If the designer knows to build a crawlable site and use good descriptive titles; if the site owner has excellent copy written that naturally emphasizes industry keyphrases; if the company is so popular that people are dying to link to it; well, has the site been SEO'd? Should it be tagged as "unfair SEO advantage"?
IMO, most of us are consultants fixing things that were done without thought in the first place.
As to how the listings would show, a small icon with a legend would probably be enough. Those that were interested could click for more details while those who really don't care wouldn't notice it. But I do think people have the right to know how that listing arrived there, if they choose.
Posted 16 October 2003 - 03:45 AM
But I do think people have the right to know how that listing arrived there, if they choose.
Agreed. This information is already in place on all engines, they state that some listings may be included through paid inclusion or via a CPC method - the moot point here is how does the surfer know which are which?
My suggestion is via a big red "thumbs up" sign. If you click on the icon, it says "This web site has paid us to ensure that we have the latest site information by indexing this page every few hours. They also are subject to, and may have had, a review by a human editor to ensure accuracy - other results may be totally innaccurate and months out of date".
Posted 18 October 2003 - 04:24 PM
The main reason I use PFI (not trusted feeds - just ordinary fee-based PFI) is to get in the SE's index quickly. Sure, you can use the frequency of spider visits to help you tune the site's ranking, but first, it has to be in the index!
So, to use Scottie's analogy, it would be like a newspaper saying to me: 'Thank you for your press release. I can probably run it in about 6 weeks time. But if you stump up $39, I'll get it in tomorrow's edition'.
Posted 18 October 2003 - 07:35 PM
If I had to commit to a decision, I think I would fall on the side of everything that's paid should include some type of disclaimer/icon placed next to the listing so that the searching public at least has the opportunity to know all of the facts.
MMT's suggestion, well cept for that very last bit , would work well for PFI's. Also for all of the Yahoo Directory listings which are paid. Basically anything where paying doesn't have any effect on the final positioning in the SERPs.
For the Overture/Adwords type of ads where the price paid does have at least some effect on the position, this should be clearly stated IMHO. Maybe a green Thumbs Up to signify the money the search engine gets from each click.
It would certainly be easy enough to do, and if the search industry were thinking ahead they might want to consider implementing something like what has been outlined in this entire thread. The SE's certainly don't want to leave it up to the politicians, or they'll likely end up having to include 10 pages of legalese right next to each paid ad.
Posted 19 October 2003 - 12:41 PM
And we love you too, Randy!This type of thread is one of the reasons I love Jill's forums. So many thoughtful, sincere responses, each supported by sound reasoning.

Actually, its more like paying to be on a list of press releases that Newspapers promise to read, but only a limitted number of press releases per month. Either that, or you can release your press statements and hope they stumble accross the relevant journos desk.So, to use Scottie's analogy, it would be like a newspaper saying to me: 'Thank you for your press release. I can probably run it in about 6 weeks time. But if you stump up $39, I'll get it in tomorrow's edition'.
The newspaper analogy falls down a little bit because Jornos and editors get paid, rather than the newspaper many times. "Hi Maxine, can I take you too lunch this week?" That is a form of payment, and one that is so much harder to track.
With URSearh Submit on Inktomi, you aren't paying to be listed on any results page, the equivilant of a newspaper story, but rather are being listed in a database that may be returned. The quality of the release / page is the key determining factor in both cases.

City Welfare Rolls Dip Below 600,000 for the First Time
Since 1967
Record Job Growth Continues Into 2000
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani-joined by Human Resources Administration (HRA) Commissioner Jason Turner, Economic Development Corporation President Michael Carey, Deputy Mayor Tony Coles, and Deputy Mayor Robert Harding-today announced that New York City had passed two historic milestones.
As of February 2000, the latest month for which data is available, City welfare rolls are down to 599,387 public assistance recipients, a 48.4% drop since March 1995. This marks the first time since April 1967 that the number of people on public assistance has been below 600,000. Also in February, 22,741 people left the welfare rolls, the largest ever single-month drop.
Job growth for 1999 set a new City record. In 1999 the City added 84,000 private sector jobs, shattering the previous record of 76,000, set in 1998.
"New York City continues to lead the nation in transforming welfare and expanding opportunity," Mayor Giuliani said. "We're moving people from dependency to self-sufficiency in record numbers, and we're outpacing the nation in economic growth. Each of these trends is, in its own right, crucial to the health of the City. But both are also intimately connected. People coming off welfare are walking into the hottest job market in memory."
HRA Commissioner Jason Turner said, "HRA has made tremendous strides in helping individuals on welfare move to self-sufficiency. The caseload reduction is especially rewarding because it shows that it's possible to help even the harder cases-people with disabilities and substance abuse problems, for instance-gain control over their lives through employment."
Deputy Mayor Anthony Coles said, "These latest figures offer further evidence that City is moving in a direction that is truly progressive. Throughout the City, thanks to the Mayor's reforms, the work ethic is being restored for hundreds of thousands of people. And we know that it's taking hold. A recent study by the Rockefeller Institute showed: 70% of the people who leave the rolls quickly find work, and 80% are still off welfare after one year."
EDC President Michael Carey said, "From new media to new hotels to burgeoning real estate developments, under the Mayor's leadership, the City is seeing record economic growth and unparalleled employment numbers. This is due to his successful efforts to cut taxes, slash red tap, reduce crime, and implement effective policies that move people from the welfare rolls to the employment rolls."
Deputy Mayor Robert Harding said, "New York City's economy is the envy of the region and the nation. As the Mayor pushes ahead with his plans for $2 billion more in targeted tax reductions and further efficiency reforms, we have every expectation that the City will continue to break records."
The City's welfare rolls peaked in March of 1995, when 1,160,593 people were receiving public assistance. The rolls have dropped every month since then, while job placement for public assistance recipients through City Job Centers has steadily risen.
After losing 348,000 private sector jobs in the early 1990s, the City has gained 380,000 jobs since December 1993. Private sector employment grew by 2.8% in the City last year, outpacing the nation's growth of 2.3%.

Language has been seen as a definitive characteristic of national identity since at least the 18th century, even in a nation of immigrants. As far back as 1753, Benjamin Franklin complained that German immigrants were refusing to learn English and arriving in numbers that would overwhelm everyone else.
Such anxieties have resurfaced in the past few decades as the United States absorbed one of the largest waves of immigrants in its history. Thirty-one states have passed measures supporting English as the official language, and more than 50 such bills have been introduced into Congress since 1981, the advocacy group U.S. English says. Yet studies suggest that English dominance remains unchallenged.

Posted by Larry Greenfield
Larry Greenfield is vice president and fellow in American Studies at The Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship & Political Philosophy
I started attending AIPAC national policy conferences while a law student in Washington, D.C. I had little money, and with minimual security risks in those days, I even sneaked into a session or two. I hope I have made up for it with loyal support of the pro-Israel leadership and activist community for over two decades.
In those early days, the mid 1980's, Ronald Reagan was President, and the modern day pro-Israel movement was just gaining steam.
The issues of the 80's included saving Soviet Jewry, the Arab boycott of Israel, and first Intifada,and helping Israel with her economic growth. And terrorism. Always terrorism.
AIPAC had a total of perhaps 30 staffers nationwide, and I helped out as a part-time legal intern while a law student at Georgetown. I actually worked on some important matters, including an arrest warrant for PLO Chief Yasir Arafat, which made its way to the desk of the Attorney General and helped to deter Arafat from visiting the United Nations.
I recently remembered these good old days with my friend, Hon. Ed Meese, at a law luncheon that my organization, the Claremont Institute, sponsored.
Partisanship did not seem so raw, in those days, and it was meaningful to help plant seeds of bi-partisan support for Israel amongst Jews from all walks of life, and in the Chrisitian and ethnic communities too. It has been wonderful to build friendships with a wide range of pro- Israel supporters.
I am considered a "big tent" pro-Israel leader—all aboard! Political differences take a back seat to our shared common cause of standing with Israel and standing for an American foreign policy that strengthens our special strategic and moral relationship with the Jewish state.
I have been very happy to build friendships and coalitions with anyone and everyone in defense of liberty, and in opposition to those in the Arab world who abuse women's rights, religious rights, human rights.
In the years since, I have made it to DC for most of the conferences, and I always enjoy seeing old friends and making new ones. There have been mentors and colleagues and now mentees, political allies, and wonderful relationships with my fellow Californians who fly across country in increasingly large numbers. Maybe even a girlfriend or two over the years. It is a great time.
The 1990's saw the failed Oslo peace process—it was never clear to me why some did not understand Arafat was saying one thing in Arabic and another in English. Read: The Oslo Syndrome, by Ken Levin. Superb discussion of Israeli political thinking amidst a sea of enemies. And read too: Jews and Power, the excellent primer by Ruth Wisse, who explores as well the psychology of Jews and the meaning of having to defend a Jewish state after 2000 years of diaspora.
The 1990's closed with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu helping to unleash the Israeli economic miracle, and America standing alone as the sole superpower after the fall of the Former Soviet Union.
Today, 2009, things are much more intense and complicated. The rise of Radical Islam, and globalization, and China, and the empowered political left in the USA, all create a much more diificult context for confronting evil, promoting human rights, and standing by our allies like Israel.
My recent post explains the need for our generation of pro-Israel advocates to take the next step and lobby for Missile Defense.
Israel's last 2 wars were defensive responses to the modern Arab missile war against her, and this has become THE issue of our time.
I lecture widely now about national security and American foreign policy, and my continuing studies take me into increasingly rich detail on the meaning and power of America. Without a strong America, freedom, and therefore Israel, will perish.
I am deeply concerned about Obama-Biden. Their many foreign policy moves to date have been troubling: several unkindnesses to Israeli diplomats by the Obama administration already; the appointment of senior officials who detest Israel (Chas Freeman,et al.); repeated expressions of hostility to the elected Likud government of Israel; significant pandering to Arab tyrants and anti-American autocrats around the world (the bow to the Saudi King…);
pressure on Israel not to pre-empt Iran; re-naming the war on terror "overseas contingency operations" against "man made disasters;" budget cutting on missile defense and other projects (many of whose technologies assist Israel)....the list goes on and on.
Commentary magazine has a new, powerful piece by lifetime pro-Israel American writer Norman Podhoretz, entitled How Obama's America Might Threaten Israel, raising many of these concerns.
Obama is at best neutral between our democratic ally Israel and her Arab enemies.
He is inexperienced and "off the charts" radical in his approach to the true nature of freedom's enemies.
Barack Obama is the anti-Ronald Reagan. Mr. Obama is unrealistic about a dangerous world, and without deep convictions and principles to guide him.
So, here I am again, helping to leverage a successful pro-Israel community to help the United States remain strong as well. One cannot be pro-Israel without coming to understand that America needs to be strong and successful. Obama has us going in exactly the wrong direction on national security issues.
We overcame Jimmy Carter. We shall overcome Barack Obama as well. We had better, because the missile threats are a unique marrying together of terror states and proxy stateless terror groups with modern technology.
Israel still needs a big tent coalition of sophisticated American leaders and grassroots supporters. Now, more than ever.
Wolf and Kemp
Waiting for my red eye flight to DC, I chatted with an old friend, CNN's respected anchor. Wolf Blitzer.
Interestingly. Wolf (whom I have jokingly long nicknamed Dances with Wolf Blitzer) got his journalistic start covering the Middle East, and his book Between Washington and Jerusalem was an important early book chronicling the US - Israel relationship.
Anyway. Wolf told me he had just heard about the passing of Jack Kemp. The longtime GOP Congressman, former Buffalo Bills Quarterback. and 1996
Vice Presidential candidate was a longtime champion of the Jewish state.
My own Jack Kemp story was when we first met formally at the 1996 GOP convention. I told him that he had pretty daughters and he said….thanks but remember they are shiksas!
I told him it was all good and we would laugh about that moment many times over the following years. I last saw Jack Kemp a year ago at his beloved Pepperdine University in Malibu where he supported entrepreneur programs.
Jack Kemp was a longtime friend of the Jewish commmunity since his days as a high schooler at Fairfax High.
Sportsman, American patriot, conservative icon, friend of Israel, beloved and popular statesman: Jack F Kemp, rest in peace.

Don't call me crazy, but I'm already thinking about Christmas.
Every year, as soon as Christmas is over, I say to myself, "We need to start shopping earlier, next time. We need to buy things here and there throughout the year. We need to save some money specifically for buying presents and going Christmassy places."
Well, it's pretty much October, and we didn't do ANY of the things I always say we should. So, that leaves three months to get it together and plan and save for the most spectacular, atmospheric, sparkly, wonderful holiday ever!
I know that there's a lot of talk about the holidays being too commercial. About not wanting your children to get a bunch of crap that will just fill up your house. About wanting to emphasize the love part, instead of the getting stuff part. I agree that a pile of plastic crap isn't necessary for a Christmas to be wonderful.
Well, brace yourselves, because I am going to step up and defend a holiday with all the trimmings. I know that the holidays aren't all about getting things... but do you remember waking up on Christmas morning as a kid and GETTING THINGS?
It was out of this world amazing and memory making and worthwhile. It was exactly all of the things I want for my kids. You can call me superficial or possession grubbing if you want to. I want my kids to come down the stairs on December 25th and have their beautiful little eyes pop out of their heads. I want them to scream in delight. I want them to feel like we live every day of our lives in a state of moderation and thinglessness, that we're a family that understands our worth in terms of togetherness and love, and for ONE DAY each year, we go nuts and roll around in mountains of wrapping paper and throw our new possessions into the air and laugh and hug and feel like there is NO WAY our poor little, rattletrap of a family pulled something this spectacular off.
So, that's just me.
I grew up poor. Kind of REALLY poor. But, we always had a big Christmas. We always had an impossible pile of presents and a real tree and cheesecake with cherries for breakfast. We went out for dinner on Christmas Eve and left a big tip. We made cookies and decorated them with colored icing. We drove around in the days leading up to the big day looking at everybody's lights and decorations, listening to terrible, cheesy holiday songs.
I don't have a ton of easy and straightforwardly happy memories from my childhood. My parents hated each other, we didn't have any money and Jesus was always telling us that everything we thought and did was wrong. And then there was Christmas.
When I was in college and living across town under a black light, I came home and slept in my childhood bedroom for Christmas Eve. Long after everyone was asleep, I was wide awake with excitement over THE NEXT DAY BEING CHRISTMAS, and my sister and I were snuggled into her bed together, laughing and being stupid like little kids. I was twenty and she was fifteen, and we were saying, "Goodnight, honey," and then seeing who could snore the loudest and the funniest, and we snored and laughed so loud that our mom woke up and barged into the room. She yelled at us, "Go to sleep!" I'd spent the past few years being a junky and a fuckup, and suddenly, for just a moment, I was a little kid getting in honest trouble again for not being able to sleep on Christmas Eve.
I'm a Christmas fanatic. It is obviously the result of some short circuiting in my brain due to unresolved issues with my childhood. I also don't care because blasting my girls out of the water with an over the top holiday experience is so fun and exciting. I'm a big, fat old mom with orthopedic shoes and when I see the light in their little faces, I feel like a kid, again.
So, that's why we need to batten the hatches and trim the sails and starboard ho toward a Christmas Extravaganza. We need to spend NO EXTRA MONEY now, so that I can spend ALL OF THE EXTRA money later on being a totally materialistic, sensationalist, Christmas nut.
So, get ready. I'll be coming up with some cheap and nutritional ways to feed my family for the month of October. We'll be taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather to have all of our fun for free. We'll pay all of our bills, set aside $200 for gas and then we'll only spend $500 on EVERYTHING ELSE. For a whole month. In the name of a pile of presents and lights that twinkle and Phipps Conservatory and dinner out on Christmas Eve.
We can do this. It's worth it.

This afternoon I thought I'd share with you this ADORABLE shot of Katherine from a couple days ago. She's a total HAM, isn't she?!? These are her six-month portraits. We had a GREAT time together. I can't wait to see her at one year when she goes "mobile" on her parents – HA!

August 23, 2008Margaret & Warren at St. Stephen's Lutheran
August 23, 2008Margaret & Warren are absolutely PERFECT for each other! Their wedding last weekend was a joy for me to be a part of. Margaret's grandmother knows Brittany & Jamie's grandmother, which is how they heard about us. Many thanks to the Kyzer's for the referral!!! Their wedding was held at the majestic St. Stephen's Lutheran Church in Lexington, SC…where Margaret's parents were married. When I arrived, Margaret's sister and "Maid of Honor Extraordinaire", Liz, was helping the beautiful bride get ready. Can't you just see the sisterly love reflected in that mirror?!? I already knew how beautiful Margaret was from her Bridal Session…but that portrait with the sanctuary behind her is a stunner! When I met up with Warren, his groomsmen were all picking on him. So I knew right away I was going to have a BLAST with the gentleman! I really like the black-and-white shot of them with the stone texture of the church in the background. The Spirit-filled ceremony was beautifully led by Pastor Pat. Don't you LOVE the excitement in Margaret & Warren's faces as they exit the sanctuary and then embrace each other in the courtyard outside? The last image of Margaret is one of my favorites. It was taken a few minutes after the ceremony, right after they signed their license to make it all official. You can STILL see the elation in her face! Click Here to see the rest of their photos. CONGRATULATIONS Margaret & Warren…you guys are an AMAZING couple!!!
Sullivan's Island Lighthouse
August 21, 2008After the beach shoot with Chris & Marley, I hung out for a while enjoying the breeze, the lapping waves, and the solitude of having that stretch of sand all to myself. I noticed the sea oats swaying back and forth with the lighthouse in the distance. So I set up a time exposure of 3-seconds at f5.6 for this image of the Sullivan's Island Lighthouse.
I'd like to dedicate this shot to my Dad who loves the beach more than any man I know. Mom & Dad just celebrated their 46th Anniversary. I love you both so much…you're a beacon of hope and truth in my life!
Sullivan's Island Sunset
August 21, 2008
It's been almost three years since I photographed Marley & Chris' wedding on a day when another hurricane was bearing down on Charleston. Yesterday I found myself photographing their new family portraits (isn't their daughter ADORABLE?!?) with Hurricane Fay heading our way. But that's OK because the sky was absolutely AWESOME…the most dramatic sky and sunset I've seen on Sullivan's Island all summer! Chris is a C-17 Pilot and they are being re-assigned to a base in Seattle. These portraits will be a WONDERFUL memory of their time here in Charleston!
Julia Santen Gallery
August 19, 2008Yesterday I had the honor of photographing the young, beautiful, and successful entrepreneur…Julia Santen. Her charisma and strong camera presence made my job SO EASY!!! Julia Santen Gallery is the Southeast's preeminent poster dealer, specializing in original poster art dating from 1890 through the 1960′s. These are not reprints or duplicates…we're talking ORIGINALS here…some worth more than my car! You've GOT to stop in and check out her Clint Eastwood poster…it's MY FAVORITE.
Carolina Lanterns
August 19, 2008One of my favorite corporate clients over the years has been Jan Clouse and her WONDERFUL team at Carolina Lanterns. Since as a photographer I'm a "student of light", I think the magic and mystery their beautiful gas lanterns and unique lighting products was the initial draw for working with them. But their fun attitudes and warm personalities are what keep me coming back!
Moonrise on Kiawah Island
August 18, 2008
Here's a few images from a wonderful family session I had on Kiawah this week. Don & Emily were down here vacationing with their family and celebrating their 65th and 60th birthdays, respectively. Since I have three brothers, I fit right in with their three boys and we had a great time together. As the sun set behind the horizon, I created this neat image of Don & Emily, thinking that was the concluding "iconic image" of the day. But NO! When I turned around the other direction the full moon was rising to take its place in the sky. So I made this really cool shot of everyone watching the moonrise!!!
Innovator Award Ceremony
August 17, 2008
Earlier this month I photographed the winners of the Innovator of the Year award given out by the Charleston Regional Business Journal. Tonight was the actual Award Ceremony. My images were used in these really cool combination video/slideshow presentations put together by PDA, who also did all the lighting and displays for the show. The first photo is a shot I took with my D3 and 10.5mm fisheye showcasing their amazing displays. The second shot is one my great friend and fellow photographer, Gary Coleman, took of me talking to a couple wonderful young ladies from Agfa during the reception. And the third is a shot of Gary and I that Kim McManus of rising SCBiz fame took of us goofing off…as usual. Needless to say, the Award Ceremony and Reception were a lot of fun and a huge success!

The British Obama? No, Labour high-flyer Chuka's the black Blair
Many believe that it is only a matter of time until Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna becomes Party leader
It is the perfect would-be Tory leader's CV: deputy head boy at one of Britain's oldest public schools, fan of Michael Heseltine, wears Savile Row suits and is the grandson of a High Court judge. He is also a proud member of the Church of England. And he would not baulk at having his own children privately educated.
However, Chuka Umunna is a Labour MP. Even though he has only been in Parliament for two-and-a-half years, many believe it is only a matter of time before the Shadow Business Secretary becomes Party leader.
He flaunted his non-partisan stance by starting our interview in his Commons study talking about his latest illustrious political confidant, Tory grandee Lord Heseltine.Budding statesman Umunna visited Hezza last week at his office at the Department of Business, where he advises the Government on trade, to learn at his knee.
'I'm a big fan,' said Umunna, with an unassuming air of confidence way beyond his 33 years. Tony Blair – or 'Tony', as Umunna referred to him – and Peter Mandelson are among other senior political figures who have given audiences to Chuka.
'I've got the hunger and energy and am younger than these guys, but I want to learn from them. I'm a leech like that. I feel blessed to be able to talk to them. Bill Clinton's book says you never stop learning.'
Revealingly, Umunna, who has been called 'the British Obama,' has not been to see Gordon Brown for advice.
Ed Miliband talent- spotted him in his 20s, helped him to become an MP and made him his Parliamentary Private Secretary. Umunna duly backed Ed, and not his Blairite brother David, in the Labour leadership contest.
Just 18 months after he became an MP, Miliband made Umunna Shadow Business Secretary. It was seen as fast-forwarding his career in the hope that, if Ed Miliband loses the next Election, Umunna – and not the Labour leader's bitter rival, Ed Balls, or Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper – will step into his shoes.
Senior advice: Mr Umunna says Tony Blair, right, has seen him but Gordon Brown, left, has not
However, super-cool, relaxed and self-styled 'modern Briton' Umunna would appear to have much more in common with Blair and a new, improved New Labour than geeky Ed Miliband's half-hearted attempt to revive Old Labour.
Asked why he joined Labour, and not the Tories or Lib Dems, Umunna replied: 'Achieving our potential as individuals is only possible in a strong society, which gives each of us a platform to succeed. This is why I am Labour. I want a fairer, more equal, democratic and sustainable world.
'We stand and fall together as a community and a country. Last year's riots demonstrated this. I was politicised growing up in Lambeth in South London in the Eighties and early Nineties – which was on the receiving end of the harsh side of Thatcherism and I was deeply affected by my visits to my father's native Nigeria, where I saw grinding poverty.'
Mr Umunna has been called the 'British Obama', referring to the American president, in the past
Umunna's father Ben arrived in Liverpool by boat, penniless, and became a successful entrepreneur. His Irish lawyer mother, Patricia, is the daughter of the late Sir Helenus Milmo, a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.
Umunna's father was killed in a car crash in Nigeria, reportedly murdered by political enemies for his anti-corruption stance. Umunna was 13 years old. Despite being raised in ethnically diverse South London, where he is MP for Streatham, Umunna freely admits to a middle-class upbringing. He says: 'It's true, I haven't wanted for food. But we had our ups and downs.
My father arrived here with nothink,' he says, as his polished private-school tone lapses and he slips into Estuary English. He was 'driven' by his dad. 'He drilled it into me that working hard to get good school reports and decent GCSEs and A-levels is the passport to the future – you need hard graft.
'When I visit primary schools, I say to kids, "How many of you have got a PlayStation and Sky TV?" All their hands go up. I say, "PlayStation and Sky are not going to get you where you want to be." '
His parents forced him to open his school report with them at home. 'I wasn't, like, trembling, but it was a serious event. Everyone else would open their report at school, but I wasn't allowed to. I had to go home and do it with my parents.'
'Hard graft was driven into me by my father'
When he struggled at his local Christ Church Primary School in Brixton, his mother and father sent him to St Dunstan's College in South London, founded in the 15th Century, where fees today are up to £14,000 a year. 'It had a massive impact on me and my politics,' he says.
At St Dunstan's, he started to 'fly academically' and became deputy head boy, going on to read law at Manchester University and begin a legal career at top legal firm Herbert Smith.
Would he send his children to a private school if they were doing badly at a State school? 'I wouldn't rule it out. I hope to get married and have children. What I'd like is for us to make private schools redundant.'
All well and good, but few Labour MPs would dare say they would send their child to a private schools. Umunna weighed his words, but did not flinch: 'I didn't say that, but I wouldn't rule it out.'
It is not an answer either Ed Miliband or Ed Balls would give. But Tony Blair would be proud of him.
Umunna is rumoured to have dated Luciana Berger, a friend of Euan Blair, but refused to talk about his love life. 'I'm not going there.'
He thinks people are 'confused' by his Nigerian-Irish-British roots. 'They say, "Are you Brazilian, Cuban? What are you?" I'm a product of modern Britain.' Umunna also cleared up confusion over how to say his name. The 'uka' in Chuka (meaning 'God is greatest') is pronounced as in 'looker,' not 'pukkah'. Similarly, Umunna has short vowels, and is not 'oomoona'.
Despite his silky-smooth image, he is not averse to using his forensic legal skills to launch lethal ad hominem attacks. He ruthlessly filleted businessman Lord Sugar and former Barclays boss Bob Diamond at Commons committees.
Confusing roots: Mr Umunna thinks people are 'confused' by his Nigerian-Irish-British roots and says 'I'm a product of modern Britain'
But he admitted to going over the top when he goaded George Osborne for knowing nothing about life on the dole. 'I felt really angry and, like, you shouldn't get angry. I was emotional about it.' When the boot is on the other foot, Umunna is defensive. He point-blank denied his family home had been owned by a Jersey-based offshore trust.
Similarly, he coyly played down questions about his 'cool dude' image, saying he got his suits from 'the sister of a Labour organiser' in his Streatham constituency.
Sceptical that his immaculate suit came from something he made sound like a workers' co-operative, I dragged the name of the tailor out of him: Alexandra Wood. Did he pay more or less than £500 for it? 'Less,' he scoffed.
In fact Alexandra Wood is on
London's Savile Row. Glamorous Umunna models their suits on their
website with a gushing tribute: 'My suit is a true pleasure to wear,
Alexandra created it to my exact specification: smart, fashionable and
comfortable. I would take great pleasure in recommending her to anyone. I
certainly intend on placing more orders in the near future.'
When The Mail on Sunday called the company, a member of staff said its suits range in price from £595 to £1,000.
'A few Labour MPs saw me as an upstart'
Back in his office, when I teased Umunna that he was 'all slick suits and slicked-back hair', he guffawed: 'What slicked-back hair? There isn't any. I shave it.'
He mused, unprompted: 'Would I have a big Afro if I didn't? Probably.'
Had he ever fancied an Afro? 'No, because it's a mission to keep it from getting knotted.' A mission? Street slang for a hassle. 'You see kids walking round with Afro combs in their hair. It's easier to cut it.'
Umunna admitted that although he has tried to avoid stepping on their toes, some fellow Labour MPs are jealous of him: 'A few thought, "Who does this upstart think he is?" I didn't want to piss people off.' But parliamentary slings and arrows are water off a duck's back when your dad was probably the victim of a real political assassination.
Umunna experimented with drugs and nearly became a 'garage music' DJ. He misses 'playing out' – going clubbing. 'I bumped into an old girlfriend who said, "When was last time you played out?" I haven't done it for three years, it's terrible!'
He is too busy hanging out with Hezza, Tony and Mandy.
If Commons Speaker John Bercow hoped wife Sally was becoming less publicity-hungry, he is likely to be disappointed over the coming week.
Mrs Bercow – an outspoken Labour supporter – will arrive in Manchester today for the Labour Party conference and, in addition to addressing activists at fringe events, is intent on taking full advantage of the social opportunities on offer.
Tonight, Mrs Bercow, who has previously posed half-naked for a magazine shoot and discussed her 'spicy' sex life with the Speaker, plans to visit the New York New York gay bar with the Irish traveller Paddy Doherty, with whom she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother last year. Mrs Bercow and Mr Doherty, who rose to fame on the TV show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, have since teamed up for a series of 'odd couple' programmes.
Last night, Mrs Bercow, 42, insisted her husband, a former Conservative MP, was happy about her attending, saying: 'John stays at home and looks after the kids. And I go up to Labour Party conference and have a good time! And before you ask, he is incredibly supportive of any political ambitions I may have.'
One of Mr Doherty's friends said: 'It is so Sally. She loves that kind of stuff and has been banging on at Paddy to go out and have fun in Manchester.'

I just entered a lottery for the 2010 NYC Marathon! I was searching the internet for year long training program for the marathon, but couldn't find any. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've run one half marathon at a pretty slow pace, but I felt good at the end. I'm not trying to finish the marathon at any particular time, I just want to finish. Any help would be great. Thanks!

The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas has called the 12-week measure "the most extreme abortion ban in the country" and has vowed to sue if it's enacted.
"Despite continued attacks on women's health care from the Arkansas Legislature, Governor Beebe has remained steadfast in his support for women's health care," said Jill June, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. "Unfortunately we can't say the same about extreme lawmakers pushing these dangerous bills."
The original version of Rapert's bill would have banned abortions as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, but he changed the measure after facing resistance from some lawmakers.
The measure was written so that it would take effect 90 days after the Legislature adjourns. The Legislature is not expected to adjourn until later this month or next month.
