This week I'm in NYC for an appearance on Fox and Friends to talk a little bit about cool gadgets that make great gifts for teens. The natural upside of this little excursion is being able to do some holiday shopping in the Big Apple. New York is one of the best cities for shopping IN THE WORLD. No matter who you're shopping for - mom, Uncle Bob, your niece and nephews - there's a shop in here with just the right thing. This time, I got to visit a store that's brand new to American shores - Uniqlo. It's Japan's answer to The Gap and it's brimming with colorful sweaters and stylishly warm jackets for men and women. Today, I picked up two great looking cashmere sweaters for under $100. One sweater is a very basic black turtleneck, slim fitting and the perfect weight for staying warm and looking good. The other sweater I picked up is a gorgeous purple hue (my color of the season), a very sweet crew neck with nice d

A press conference will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, November 28 at 11:00 a.m. at the company's headquarters at 475 Park Avenue South, 28th floor, in Manhattan."A recent survey showed that 85 percent of all search queries fail; the user tries and tries again, but eventually succumbs to search-engine fatigue," said Mark Moran, CEO of findingDulcinea. "Our Web site is the cure."If you conduct an online search for "mortgages," for example, the search engine returns more than 80 million results. After surfing through the first five or six Web sites, your eyes glaze over and you hear buzzing in your ears.

This is a place I always wanted to visit with so many great things to see, do, and learn new things.

Today my dad and I stood on 138th Street between Rider Avenue and Walton Avenue where we watched the marathon's participants run westwards under the Metro North overpass towards the Madison Avenue Bridge back into Manhattan. Around where we stood on 138th Street, the crowd was thin when we first arrived there but it looked as if closer towards Third Avenue there were more people. I could cross easily from one side of 138th Street to the other where we stood, but once the elite runners had passed and then after a sizable gap appeared, the majority of the marathon's participants made it our way after which time crossing the street became impossible.A number of police officers and a group of enthusiastic fire fighters were at the scene. A small group of members from the Van Courtlandt Track Club had assembled along 138th Street just behind the overpass and they were very supportive of the runners with cheers and words of encouragement. So, as the marathon progressed, more and more peo

As I said in the comments section, "If I could re-write the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, this is precisely what I would love to see:
"We, the people of the United States, in order that we shall have the right to preserve a State free for all races, shall achieve this end by the use of less-lethal weaponry only for our continued survival as human beings. This free State entails our personal self-defense as well as our right to our food consumption. In keeping with current government law, if we so choose to possess a less-lethal weapon (be it either upon our persons or within our private homes), we are obligated to store these aforementioned weapons plus any ammo relating to its use in a manner which will serve to protect the welfare of a minor child.

There's not much to say here. What can you say about something like this? We are fortunate and unfortunate to have been alive to witness, even from a distance, one of the most frightening moments in the history of this country. Are there words to truly describe what many of us felt then and feel now? I still can't watch the videos or look at the pictures for more than a few moments. I didn't know anybody in NYC, but for whatever reason just seeing it even in still form brings me to tears.So, for this day and this day only, let's all forget the war inIraq and everything else going on in this country. Let's forget who's running for election, what new laws are coming in, etc.All we should do at this moment is remember. Remember all the men and women in the trade center and at ground zero, alive and dead, who saw it happen.Remember the fire fighters who risked their lives doing what they volunteered to do.Remember. That's the only thing we as a people can do. Most of us weren't there. We f

Instead of battling the hoards of voracious fashion addicts in the Big Apple this week, I've chosen to monitor some of my favorite fashion blogs for the latest news on "what's next". Though it's just been a couple of days, I'm already seeing some exciting trends for the coming seasons. Key colors are soft grays and vibrant yellow in flowing, feminine fabrics. On the flip side, there is still a strong trend in menswear for women - vests, tailored trousers, etc. Perhaps my favorite trend so far is the return of the natural waist! Hurray! Break out those belts and sashes and show off your curves. It's the natural evolution as rises are on the rise in designer jeans. (Thank goodness no more muffin tops and plumber's butt to battle!)

Remember the outrage displayed from some NYC taxi drivers over the proposed installation of GPS in their taxis? Well, it's currently being installed and will be completed within several months.The New York Taxi Workers Alliance has long opposed the plan – claiming it is an invasion of driver's privacy.“Why the TLC wants to know when and where and what time a taxi driver has taken their kids to the park, or gone out to a restaurant, or to the movies, is beyond our understanding,” sad NY Taxi Workers Alliance Executive Director Bhairavi Desai.Get this straight lady, if you transport my daughter anywhere, I DO WANT TO KNOW ALL THE DETAILS.And the driver's privacy? What privacy? When a taxi driver is on duty that is company time; not personal time. So, what kind of an argument is that? I want ALL taxi driver's moves monitored. In every city.

This is a very different role than her usual light-hearted ones, but she manages to make a very convincing performance.Photos found @ celeb-cityMore Heather Graham photos & news:Heather Graham arriving in NYC (January 29)
Can you say "ironic"?The New York City police department, once headed by Rudy friend, Bernie Kerik, is now being run by the same guy who trampled the civil rights of protesters during the 2004 Repug Convention in New York City and created his "own little Guantanamo on the Hudson" to detain the protesters.Considering the leadership of those two, it isn't surprising the the NYC police feel entirely at ease in beating the crap out of a prone, handcuffed black man in full view, and then wailing on a civil rights lawyer who objects.Welcome to the New Order.From a June 25, 2007 New York Newsday account:"City and state officials are denouncing the arrests of a civil rights attorney and his wife after the couple intervened when, they said, police beat a handcuffed teen in central Brooklyn. Protesters returned to a police station yesterday to rally against the arrests and alleged brutality."Michael Warren, who once represented Tupac Shakur and the teens charged in the Central Park jogger case,
We received a request (in the form of a comment from DelectaBILL) to find out if the rumors about In-N-Out Burger (founded by the late Esther Synder) coming to NYC were true. Such rumors are being discussed on FlyerTalk, Goner Records, and on other blogs. So far, even, A Hamburger Today doesn't know for sure.So I've sent an email to In-N-Out corporate and hope to hear back. I guess in the mean time, we'll just have to keep eating the very similar, Blue 9 Burger Blue 9 Burger burgers, frieds, and shakes!---Updated:We received a response from In-N-Out Burger:Thank you for your e-mail, and for your inquiry regarding our future expansion.Although at this time it is just a rumor, we sincerely appreciate your interest.Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.Sincerely,Aimee CherryCustomer Service Representative

Accompanied by a video crew, as well as The Naked Cowboy and a guitar strumming press secretary, Social Ironist Party candidate Sean “The Naked Candidate” Holbrook is taking his political campaign to the streets New York City from July 14-16. His attire: tighty-whities, dress shoes and a tie - because politicians simply must wear ties if they wish to be seen as legitimate candidates by the voting public.
Sean’s outfit is meant to symbolize our need for openness and transparency in government, while paying tribute to American Icon and fellow S.I.P member The Naked Cowboy. Near-nakedness is also a necessity for a non-bankrolled campaign to get any kind of attention in our current political landscape, which is almost entirely based around the fundraising process. As the ultimate embodiment of modern America, the S.I.P has recently embraced the joys of fundraising. The campaign website, http://www.voteseanholbrook.com, has 20+ fundraising buttons
As of yesterday, New York City is now on the look-out for Trans Fat. It could be anywhere: in your french fries, in your salad, even lurking in your closet waiting to jump out and scare you when you least expect it! Actually, I made up that last part.More interesting to me will be the impact of the second legislation that takes effect, that requirement for fast-food restaurants to post their calories. It seems like each chain is taking various approaches. Starbucks is putting their information in a spiral flip book. Does anyone expect this to have an impact? Doubtful. The regulation calls for posting the calories in equal size next to the price.Starbucks is not the only violator: Burger King, McDonald's, and Wendy's are all giving the middle finger to the rule; but since their latest stay in court means they won't get fined until at least October.
As many of you know, and are likely eagerly awaiting, the Annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is rapidly approaching (on July 4th). The event, held at the original Nathan's Nathan's Original, which is both covered globally by press, and entered by contestants from all around the world, is a spectacle to behold; especially as told by George Shea, the IFOCE spokesperson, who emcees the event. And it begs the question, what exactly makes a real New York Hot Dog? That question was specifically raised recently, read on below...Opinion Polls & Market Research
Times have changed! A year ago there would definitely not have been standing room only in a session on Feeds and SEO.
RSS and content syndication have gone from being a ‘techie only’ thing to a mainstream communication and SEO tool.
“People are sitting on the floor, this room is packed. I guess blogs and SEO make for a popular topic,” said SE RoundTable.
RSS feeds can boost your SEO efforts, on your blog and on your webpages. But the trick is to optimize the content. While ther are some technical SEO tips and tricks, it’s still all about the content.
Without keyword research and a content strategy you’re not likely to find yourself on page one of Google. But having good content that is optimized in a feed will get you there much faster.
So if you are looking to improve your search results and you do not yet have your news content in a feed, take another look at content syndication as an SEO strategy.
