The story of our father's childhood has an idyllic ring to it, in spite of a number of tragic events that are part of that story:
Dad told us of making boats with his brother and sailing them in the cistern in the basement and on Keuka Lake, of trips to visit kinfolk in Rhode Island, and of working with his brother to make maple syrup and horseradish to sell. He told us of the private telephone line between the Scholes' home and their own, of gashing his knee on the night his grandfather died, and of the bridge across the creek which allowed family members to go between the houses in which his extended family stayed. He told us of being ejected from a high school championship basketball game, of his sister who he loved so dearly, and many more things that I would love to share with you. I want very much to write a family history, because the list I've just given you barely scratches the surface. I'm glad I paid attention when he told stories, but wish I'd done so even more.
Dad's father died of influenza, after already being weakened by Tuberculosis, when Dad was only five months old. This was especially tragic because his father, Ford Clarke, had been very active as a scoutmaster and Professor of Sociology, and lived a renaissance life for only 32 years. Ford had nearly died in a bobsled accident on Waterwells Road, and had told a friend to tell his future wife that he loved her, if he died. When he did die, the Alfred University class of 1921 erected a fountain on the village green in his memory.
Ford's father, our great-grandfather, was also removed from Dad's life by tragic circumstances, so most of Dad's childhood influences came from his mother's kin. Much of Dad's fatherly influence came from his grandfather, A.B. Kenyon. A.B. had grown up in Rhode Island and was training to be a carpenter, but his parents had sent him to Alfred for college, and he ended up becoming a teacher and University administrator. He lived in Alfred for the rest of his life. Dad told us of all the many things A.B. built, from the house at 33 South Main Street to the garage at 150 North Main Street, and from the pipe "intercom" between the upstairs and downstairs apartments, to a desk with a secret compartment. Dad's mother and brother and sister, and his grandparents all lived in the same house for much of his childhood – that house which A.B. and A.B.'s father-in-law had built in the 1870s. Grandmother and the three kids also lived in apartments in houses on Park Street and Terrace Street as circumstances changed, but they always returned to the old homestead on South Main Street.
Other men exercised fatherly influence on Dad, especially his step-father, Ahva John Clarence Bond, who was also an educator and administrator, but this came later in his childhood. Dad's decision to enter ministry may have been prompted by his landlord when he was a student at Kansas State, but it was shaped by his step-father, who advocated ecumenism (the dictionary definition of which is "a movement promoting worldwide unity among religions through greater cooperation and improved understanding"). "Father Bond" as Dad called him, also introduced camping as a way of connecting people to each other, their Creator, and their environment. He also wrote splendid poetry.
A cousin and family friend, Lloyd Watson, took enough interest in Dad to buy him a flute. He taught Dad to play it, and helped him build a wooden box to protect it. You see the flute resting in one box here, but there is a second box beside it. You might wonder why. The reason is that our father was human. He made some sort of error in cutting out the dovetail joints in the first box, so there are small gaps in the joints. Dr. Watson was the man who had been the first in the world to inseminate a queen honey bee with instruments after being told he should take on some other achievable doctoral project. He had to figure out how to draw glass capillary tubes to finer diameters than had previously been done, in order to accomplish it, but he had done so in spite of "safe" advice, so we know he was an exacting and persistent man. He insisted that Dad start over and fabricate all the dovetail joints perfectly. The second box is really beautiful, but Dad evidently kept the first one to remind himself of something. Dr. Watson's persistence was – in some measure – transmitted to our father. In his high school years, Dad worked in Dr. Watson's apiary, and set out for Kansas State to study entomology before coming back to Alfred and entering the ministry.
Dad was raised mostly by his mother, and to her he gave much credit. She deserves it. She was a kind, generous, thrifty, hard-working, unpretentious, lovely woman who outlived two husbands and most of her friends and relations, and never knew an enemy. She had a wonderful sense of humor that was never expended for anyone else's detriment, but Dad did inherit her Victorian stoicism. Dad endured the pain of a broken foot that was never set correctly, for fifty-five years, taking nothing more than the occasional aspirin to alleviate it.
Dad's sister picked up in Sociology where their father left off, and was a rising star in her profession when she died of surgical complications. She was an especially unique woman, and we might not have known of her largest struggle had not our grandmother finally spoken of it, fifty years after the fact. Dad's "big sis" was the one who mortified her brothers by stripping to her underwear – which I'm sure, in the 1930s, covered her from ankles to chin – and joining them and Alex Landis and her boys in the creek one hot summer day, down at "The Ledges" on McHenry Valley Creek.
Dad was valedictorian of his high school class and graduated cum laude and with departmental honors, from college. He was a good calligrapher and was very capable at designing and drawing things. Dad could make things from wood, starting with sailboats that were blown across the surface of the cistern in the basement of the family home, and ending with his help in building our house out at Five Corners. He bought a camping trailer in Colorado in the 1950s and adapted it to our family's needs, several times. He called the trailer Jonah, and I own it now.
Dad did not assume that his religious beliefs granted him any favor with the Almighty. His beliefs were things that were continually scrutinized and re-evaluated for weakness. His faith was a contract which obliged him to a lifetime of diligent labor, and he fulfilled his contract, just as he did his marriage vows. He spent days and nights in anguish, wrestling wisdom from the events and choices he confronted, and he pushed his lean, long-boned body and his perspicacious mind far beyond the endurance of other mere mortals. I know he got at least some of this drive from his father, because Dad's uncle Clarence wrote a letter saying "Last summer I thot [sic] many times that he [Ford] was trying to do many times more than I could try to do without wearing out." Dad was a man who, once seated, could nap almost anywhere, anytime, but he was – until only perhaps six months ago – the last person to go to bed and the first one to arise in the morning.
Dad believed in God, but ascribed both male and female attributes to God. He accepted scientific understanding of evolution and other natural processes. I think he came to believe that natural processes are not just evidence of God's presence in a Universe larger than our imagination, but that they are the very workings of the mind of God. He would not limit God to any less than all that the Universe embodies. He did not believe in Satan, because he felt such a belief let humans off the hook for their own weaknesses and hampered people from responding creatively to their shortcomings. He understood that people are not perfect and he made allowance for all kinds of faults, but he also believed that people must always be perfecting themselves with God's assistance and in company with other humans. He understood that philosophy and theology are methods of increasing our collective understanding of the Universe and our role in it, much like the scientific method. The book that Dad was trying to write was all about trying to understand more broadly how individuals are responsible FOR themselves and TO each other, and how to use their "moral energy" to improve relationships. I hope I can do him justice in editing and publishing his manuscript.
Dad's faith was not something he put on, just on week-ends. It was integral to his being. It was not anything he paraded in public or used as a weapon against others, nor was it something that placed him above anyone else.
Dad claimed "scotch" heritage, but, from all I've been able to learn, it may have been more due to growing up as the child of an extraordinary single parent during the Great Depression than to biological legacy. Certainly all of his ancestors were a thrifty sort, and Dad could take something that someone else would throw away, and make something useful of it, from a plastic jug that ended up as a lamp shade, to rubber innertubes that he cut up and used like bungee cords
Dad epitomized what is best about the word liberal – that is to say, generous. He worked tirelessly for all kinds of people; he gave his scarce money to causes that seemed important, from workers' rights to wind power; he gave his time to helping others, from visiting people in nursing homes and jails, to building houses. He worked many hours at the Harvest Center in Prattsburgh which provided resources for migrant workers. He delivered Christmas turkeys and gifts and clothes and food to those workers for many years, and he managed the Alfred Food Pantry for a long time. He took care of his mother and aunt, and his cousin, "Mike" Kenyon and Annamay Langworthy and Bob Place and our mother and Ethel and plenty more that I don't dare take time to list. His efforts ranged from international peace initiatives to helping Alfred neighbors get along.
Dad was a creative thinker who often went over people's heads in the ways he could associate concepts and layers of meaning. He could write and read a eulogy for even someone that everyone in the audience might know was "kind of a stinker" but do so honestly, without sugar-coating or ignoring the person's weaknesses, but in a way which honored their goodness and integrity in whatever measure it could be found.
He was often called upon to remove bees from homes, and saw it as an act of reconciliation to take the bees and set them up in a hive in a place where they were welcome. My siblings may not know this, but if the Low-level Radioactive Waste Disposal Siting Commission had taken a different route on that cold day in April, 1990, Dad would have been one of the ones chained to a bridge, preventing radioactive waste from being dumped in this county. He was perhaps happier to let his good friends Clarence and Warren and Bill and Alex get their names in the paper, but he was ready to do his part.
We, his family, have perhaps sometimes felt that we came second to neighbors and strangers, but Dad was only living up to the commitments he made. We knew he loved us and we know it still. We know that he struggled with his choices like we do, and that he filled his life with living for all kinds of people.
I believe Dad gave a sermon from this very pulpit many years ago that used Matthew 23:11-12 as the text, which says: "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted". Dad spoke of water as a way of understanding this teaching. He said that water, under the influence of gravity, is like the good and righteous woman or man under the influence of God's will for humanity: it seeks the lowest place for itself. He understood how useful humans can be if they, like water, will wash away dirt and contaminants, and transport nutrients as they seek the lowest place. That was how he lived.
Dad was an optimist, but he was much more than that. Dad knew that the air in the "empty" part of the glass contains water in the gaseous state. Our father was not just an optimist who believed in people upon whom everyone else had long-since given up. He was an anti-cynic. When an organization called "Another Mother For Peace" produced posters that said "War is not healthy for children and other living things" he felt this was too much a negative statement, so he made posters that said "Home-grown peace showers its fruit on every Neighbor" and gave them away.
Dad was a sometimes paradoxical man: he was a pacifist who sometimes used a rifle and bow and arrows; he was raised a teetotaler, but learned to like wine in his fifties because his friend – probably the first black man in the nation to do so – opened a winery. Dad was a man with some conservative values but was also a man with willingness to think broadly and reconcile many paradoxes without losing his integrity. He was trained in evangelism, but resisted efforts to evangelize that placed more emphasis on results than on relationships. He was a man who continued to adapt his thinking to new information and new ways of understanding the world, continually adding to and deepening his wisdom. He could usually see all sides of an issue, to the extent that choices were sometimes extremely difficult for him to make.
By the end of his life, I believe Dad was virtually unable to express his deepest feelings, because he was so practiced at adjusting himself to others' needs and desires. He could express frustration, but he almost always aimed it at himself, sometimes taking blame for things that no human can rightly assume. But that was because he refused to stop trying to find the good in people.
Dad loved to swim and sail and walk, and even walked with his grandson and me on a short stretch of the Finger Lakes Trail, last September, but the foot he broke in 1952 that never healed properly kept slowing him down, over the years. He had been known in earlier years, to ride a horse without getting saddle-sore, much to the consternation of a family friend who wanted to tease him about it.
Dad and Mom had talked about buying passage on a freighter and traveling around the world, but never got around to it. After Mom died and he married Ethel, they traveled around to see friends and family for as long as they could.
I think Dad's chief pleasures, after doing something for someone else, were talking with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, admiring the good fortune of a friend or family member, eating a meal at a restaurant (his treat), ice cream, and naps.
Dad spent his life worrying more about the people around him than about himself. He loved his life, but he didn't cling to it. He took advice ascribed to Jesus: "Greater love hath no man than that he give his life for his friends". Dad counted every person he encountered among his friends, and he spent every day giving his life for them.
We, his children and grandchildren and nieces and nephews and friends, know Dad earned some relaxation, but he kept pushing himself until he could do no more. When he could do no more for someone else, taking care of his own needs gave him little to do, but he insisted on doing it. When he began to have difficulty taking care of all his own needs, he just wasn't interested in going on. We wanted him to live as long as he could, but he didn't know how to live unless he was useful to someone else.
Dad, especially in the last few years, sometimes mused upon how the world might be different had he continued studying and working in entomology and carrying on Dr. Watson's work of "Building a Better Bee", but I hope he was well pleased, at the end.
Dad had a fierce independence, even though he yielded his own desires to others' needs and desires most of the time. When he lay for a week and a half with a broken femur and then after a partial hip replacement, last month, he would not ask for morphine. We had to ask for it for him. We wished he would stay on longer with us, but I think he chose death over dependence. He chose the manner of his dying, in spite of us.
When we were quite certain Dad was in his last hours, he had a faraway look in his eyes. I told him I hoped that what he was seeing was a sunny day with a good sailing breeze and worker bees busily harvesting pollen and nectar from buckwheat blossoms (buckwheat honey was one of his favorites). I told him I hoped that he saw autumn leaves in sunset colors and that they were pressed into books and cherished, as our mother used to do. I told him that perhaps now he could go and be in the company of our mother and his sister and mother and brother, and all the others he out-lived here. I told him I hoped he could go meet the father he had never known. I told him his was a much-deserved rest.
I hope that our father, who art in heaven, is in a place like that, for if it was ever appropriate to be said, it should be said of him: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant".

Gifts of Love
This site is dedicated to my mother, Irma (McLean) D'Arienzo, who passed away July 31, 2013. Her influence in my life and on my faith has truly made me the person I am today. I love her with all my heart.
art de Michael D'Arienzo
All the artwork featured on this site are original digital paintings, photos and designs created by Michael D'Arienzo either as oil or pencil sketch designs, or in some other art medium. Although I dabble with sketches of people in some of my art, the subject matter for most of the artwork is typically related to nature, whether it be butterflies, bees, flowers, garden scenes, landscapes, pets or other small animals. This reflects my love of the natural beauty of the simple things in life. I am so grateful that my mother showed me such an appreciation for flowers and gardening which is why so many of these scenes are prevalent in my art. But I owe it to my father for fostering a passion in me for art and photography. While growing up I used to love drawing things like flowers, and sometimes I would even sketch characters from cereal boxes. Over time I taught myself oil painting and read as much as possible about it. For a number of years I participated in various arts & crafts festivals and shows and had a lot of fun doing this. Unfortunately due to allergies I had to eventually give up oil painting. Luckily my passion for painting was complimented by my love of photography. I became an avid photographer and over the years have captured thousands of pictures of flowers, landscapes, animals and so many other things. The interplay of light and shadows, especially with flowers, always fascinated me, and this dynamic is what drives me to create more beautiful pieces of art. Inspiration came one day when I realized I could combine my love of photography and painting to create paintings that had the same look as oil paint, which is what led me to digital art. I bought various creative art applications and started learning as much as I could about digital art. I experimented with various techniques and developed my own personal style. It is never stagnant and is always evolving into something different. The presentation onto canvas, metal or glass is another aspect that lends itself to a certain look and feel. It is my hope that you will get as much satisfaction by my art as I do.

David Wolfe has more websites than you've had orgasms and it's because he's either a raging lunatic or really, really smart person – I honestly can't tell which. Apart from really crazy conspiracy theories, he also has a really crazy web store – where he sells some really crazy products with descriptions that were written presumably by throwing his keyboard into a woodchipper.
"Levitational" Deer antler spray, which has an "androgenic force". Do I need to elaborate? Yes, of course I do because you lot are sadists and enjoy making me mad. What does David Wolfe have to say about a product he sells for $75 for 2 oz (approx. 56 grams)?
"Dear [sic] antler is not a product. It's a cosmic substance. And it's an androgenic substance, by the way—very androgenic. And it needs to be taken with respect and understanding, which is why we've been getting into this whole thing about estrogenic forces and then androgenic forces. You gotta know that deer antler is an androgenic force. And why? Because it's cosmic in nature. It's elevating. It's levitational in nature. Which actually makes you younger. The forces of levity make you younger. Rudolf Steiner said that we gradually age due to substances in our body that are seized by the earth's gravity. He could have said anything. He could have said anything at all, but he said that. That's amazing. Then he said that you want to use the force of levity to drive the force of levity into your body. Then he talks about silica, that silica can be made to be levitational again." Serious.
Drugs are bad. Don't do them. Unless you're my editor, then feel free. I'm sorry I made you nearly drink at 9am. (It's a hazard of the job - Ed.)

Google's messaging application — no, not Hangouts, Messenger — has received an update today that adds two new features. Something fun, with stickers, and something useful, with location sharing.
Google Messenger's stickers are cute, animated and are perfect for sharing your emotions when emoji simply won't do. Sent as MMS, there are a ton of options available by clicking the attachment button and swiping up to view more.
Location sharing is also available via the attachments button that, once selected, sends as an MMS message with a link to the location viewable on Google Maps.
The update should be available soon if it's not already showing up in Google Play now. Now if only Google would pay Hangouts a little more attention. Maybe someday.

Take Action - Sign the Ten Point Letter to Secretary Hagel
Activism | Drones | Militarism | National Protests | Obama | Politics | Torture | Veterans | Wars of Aggression
Submitted by tnjp on March 16, 2013 - 10:12pm.
Take Action - Sign the letter to Sec. Hagel
Dear Secretary Hagel,
Congratulations on your confirmation to the office of Secretary of Defense. As you take the reins of this new position, Veterans For Peace would like to express to you some ideas about what we would like to see from this office. Veterans For Peace (VFP) has been around since 1985 and was formed by a Viet Nam veteran with the intention of creating a bridge between the peace movement and veterans. VFP members believe that our collective experience as veterans allows us to speak about the true costs and consequences of war and militarism with a voice of credibility and true standing. We feel a responsibility to speak out against war and militarism, particularly when it is manifested in illegal and immoral wars of choice and aggression. We appreciate very much that President Obama has chosen you--someone who has seen first-hand the horrors of combat--to fill the position of Secretary of Defense. Like the members of VFP, your voice will carry an extraordinary credibility, because you understand war in a way that a civilian cannot. It will not be easy to dismiss your words when you caution against military force, or speak in favor of abiding by the Geneva Conventions. We hope that you will become a force for reshaping the Department of Defense, by consideration of the following:
1. Refuse to put troops into harm's way as part of an illegal, immoral war of aggression. The 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF), signed as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11 has been used, first by the Bush administration, and now by the Obama administration, as a blank check for perpetual war. As the Secretary of Defense, you should refuse to deploy any combat troops until Congress provides a legally binding authorization to do so. As a combat veteran, you truly understand that no one should be asked to kill or be killed for a war of choice, particularly one that has not even been legally authorized. Demand adherence to the War Powers Act.
2. Take responsibility for the deaths, damage and harm done by the U.S. The "Collateral Murder" video leaked to Wikileaks showed the world just one instance of war crimes conducted by U.S. forces. For the United States to have any moral credibility whatsoever, we must take responsibility for our actions.
3. State unequivocally that the U.S. will abide by the Geneva Conventions and will not torture, or participate in the extraordinary rendition of prisoners.
4. Stop the illegal use of combat drones that are responsible the extrajudicial assassinations of thousands of civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.
5. Call for the closure of all U.S. military bases in foreign countries. The U.S. currently has military troops stationed in more than 150 countries around the world. Bringing all U.S. troops from Afghanistan and around the world back to the U.S. will send a strong message to the international community that the U.S. is not interested in hegemony, or in being the world's policeman.
6. Call for the dismantlement of all nuclear weapons, and immediately take nuclear weapons off of naval vessels. There can never be a justified use of a nuclear weapon and if the U.S. is going to demand that other countries refrain from obtaining nuclear weapons capabilities, then it needs to lead the way in disarmament.
7. Stop the use of Depleted Uranium weapons. "DU" weapons violate the Geneva Conventions. Once exploded, DU particulates enter ground water, travel on air currents, and are inhaled by innocent civilians. DU weapons are responsible for a huge spike in deformities, birth defects and other ailments in Iraq where they were widely used.
8. End foreign military sales to countries who violate international laws and basic human rights, and who have child soldiers.
9. Push to become a signatory to the Land Mine treaty. The international community recognizes land mines and cluster bombs as weapons that kill a high number of civilians, often long after the "official" conflict is over.
10. Slash the Pentagon budget. The U.S. spends more on the military and war than the rest of the world combined.
Bring our war dollars home.
In summary, we hope that you will use your unique qualifications and experience to push this administration into adherence with international law.

New Electronic Travel Authorization System And Its Affect On Travelers To Canada
If you're planning to travel to Canada in the near future, you could be affected by the new Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system, which is only just being introduced. We're going to look at exactly what these new changes to immigration practices are, and what they potentially mean for travelers to Canada.
Understanding The New Electronic Travel Authorization System
Rewind to February 2011, when Canada, together with the United States, first agreed to the 'Beyond the Border Action Plan', which was effectively put into place in order to achieve greater harmony and strengthen co-operation between American and Canadian immigration practices.
Since then, the Canadian government has been working to implement individual terms of the plan, and is introducing three considerable changes to immigration legislation over the next year (2014/2015) that are set to affect just about everyone planning to enter Canada.
Examining Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)
At the moment, those looking to enter Canada either
a) Need to apply for and acquire temporary resident visas before they enter the country, or
b) Can enter Canadian ports without having to obtain a visa first. However, from April 2015 this will no longer be the case, and the eTA system will kick into place.
Instead, foreign nationals currently exempt from having to obtain a temporary resident visa will have to seek online authorization before flying to Canada. This will impact European, Australian, Japanese and Korean citizens, amongst others. US citizens will be exempt.
Obtaining eTA
In order to obtain your eTA, you will have to visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) website, where you will have to fill out an application form containing your passport, biographical and background information; all of which may affect your admissibility to the country. Your information will then be processed using an electronic system that will carry out a risk assessment and verify the information you have provided. The good news is, the majority of applications will be approved within a matter of minutes.
The new eTA procedure also affects airlines, who will have to provide passenger information to the Canadian immigration authorities before boarding. This also means that anyone who has not applied and been approved for an eTA will be prohibited from flying.
Shared Information
Canada will begin sharing biometric-based information on immigrants with the United States, due to be implemented in 2014. This shared information will help improve assessments for things like visa applications, along with ensuring records are accurate and up-to-date. A biometric match will mean that certain information on an individual may be shared, such as their current immigration status, any previous admissibility decisions and reasons for previous refusals, along with other general information.

This week Helena and I went to the D&AD Event at Glasgow School of Art. We took along eleven HND1 students. Other attendees included tutors and students from most of the Art Colleges in Scotland - the hosts Glasgow, ECA (Edinburgh), Gray's (Aberdeen), Duncan of Jordanstone(Dundee), and Edinburgh Napier.
D&AD's Director of Education Rhiannon James introduced the Student Awards and New Blood, and talked the group through the D&AD's new website and its resources. She also hosted a round of judging, allowing the students to get an insight into how submissions are assessed. The subject work was a series of ten submissions for a campaign for Nokia from the 2010 briefs.
The key criteria for judging is a mix of creative thinking, good execution and staying on brief.
This is invaluable advice to students, because the rewards for success at D&AD are huge - whilst the average graduate takes nearly 24 months to find work in the creative industries, 43% of D&AD winners gain employment within four weeks.
Franki Goodwin, founder of the Franki&Jonny Agency, and a former graduate of GSA, then gave an excellent followup talk about interpreting a brief.
Franki's agency specialises in cinema promotion, and a standout example of her work was a poster for the Todd Haynes movie 'It's Not There' - the acclaimed Bob Dylan biography - into which she managed to blend Mondrian, Andy Warhol and the four leading actors. During that particular project, her studio played Bob Dylan non-stop for about three weeks - a great example of what she terms 'immmersion' in a brief.
Another useful aspect of the event was the tutor meeting, where tutors got the chance to exchange ideas and thoughts on the current state of the industry and of education, and to discuss D&AD's continued efforts to promote and support both institutions and students alike. And it was heartening to know that the head of the committee assigned to this task is none other than Neville Brody.
The afternoon events included an Industry-led workshop with Simon Shaw, Creative Director at Navyblue, where, coincidentally, two of our HND2 students Emma and Andrea are currently on work placement (and managed to swing a day off to join us). There was also a Portfolio Surgery, where students got the chance to have their folios looked at by creative professionals, and an Industry Evening (held at Glasgow Caledonian) which we unfortunately were unable to attend.
And just for good measure, AVA were there with a stall of discounted design books, and of course these events all took place inside the architectural work of art that is the Rennie Mackintosh Building.
A big thanks to all the students who made it along to this event!

Despite the holdup of approval for lethal aid for the Syrian opposition, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expressed confidence on Wednesday in the support the opposition is receiving.
Kerry made the remarks on Wednesday during a press conference in Amman, Jordan, with Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh. Kerry was asked the reason behind the delay of pledged military support to the Syrian opposition. He said he was proud to say the U.S. has provided significant assistance in the past year and other partners are also taking up the cause.
"There was a period of time where (General Salim Idris) felt that they needed more weaponry and they needed more ammunition and things like that," Kerry said. "There are partners, support members of the so-called Friends of Syria who have been providing a lot of that. And there's a great deal of weaponry that I know has been reaching the Syrian opposition in the course of the last weeks of a very different kind. And they're also getting other kinds of assistance at this point in time."
Kerry said the reason for the delay in lethal assistance from the U.S. was the standard delays that occur when going through the legislative process.
"I believe that they are getting very significant assistance, but unfortunately, sometimes it takes longer than you would like because you need to get approvals, things have to go through Congress, things have to be approved, and so forth and so on," Kerry said. "And it just takes longer than you'd like."
Kerry said he was confident the support from the U.S. and other players supportive of the opposition would help to turn the tide against Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime.
"The fact is I am confident about the support that the Syrian opposition is receiving today and will continue to receive in the days ahead, not just from the United States but from lots of different players who are supportive of the opposition and believe that the combination of the Iranian Qods Force on the ground in Syria, and Hezbollah - a terrorist organization on the ground in Syria - and Russian support coming in has been the difference that's tilted some of these initiatives to President Assad, but not for the long term," Kerry said.

I like to make people dance. People are in a much better place when they're dancing, they're not thinking about much, except for dancing, which is perfect because sometimes we just need that release. Meet one of the baddest girlboss DJs in Chicago, Westside's finest: Rae Chardonnay. The 28-year-old Lawndale native has been providing the Chicago party scene with good vibes and energy for some time now, and continues to build her resume with her latest events Party Noire and AfroFuturistic Dance Party. Being a creative at heart, Rae knew her life path would involve music and community work from the moment she left University of South Florida and transferred to Columbia College where she received her degree in Art & Entertainment Media Management. That one decision helped set the stage for her blossoming career as a DJ.
What made you want to become a DJ?
Well first, I love music, from the deepest part of my heart. Second, I had an affinity for turntables, and still do. It's not something that I use for the general public 'cause I'm still working on that skill-set, but turntables is what really turned me on to DJing. That, and my love for music.
Is DJing what you want to do in life?
For the most part yeah. I want to continue to build on the things that I am currently doing, which is a lot of community programming work, and program facilitation for non-profits. Also developing my own programs for marginalized communities and traveling with those. But yeah, event planning and DJing are two things I'm most passionate about. So I want to be able to continue to do those sorts of things throughout the duration of my time here [laughs].
How does DJing come into play with establishing community service programs?
For me, music is such a powerful tool, you know? And so I find most times when people are in a gathering space, music is what they relate to in that one collective time. If you're in a particular space and you hear a song that a lot of people know, that is a moment of togetherness and you're not even paying attention to it in that way. So with event planning and community development I can always incorporate music because it's that much of a tool.
How long have you been DJing?
I started back in 2010, so six years.
Do you remember your first DJ gig?
I do. I DJed for my friend David's birthday party at Lokal in Wicker Park, and that was lots of fun. He trusted my judgement in terms of music and that was like one of my first public gigs. Then after that, the next thing that pushed my career forward was when I DJed for Theaster Gates' Rebuild Foundation events and a lot of his private events. After that things just kinda started to slowly build up.
How does one get their name out there and land gigs as a DJ?
That's an interesting and semi complicated question, in a sense. Just because, first off, you need to think about what kind of DJ you want to be and take certain things into consideration. Like, sometimes it helps to be more of a people person rather than to just hide behind your decks all the time. For some people that's cool, and for some it's not. I feel like for me, what helped to push me forward is the relationships I build with people, honestly. But of course there's a lot of other work that goes into it. I do all of my own marketing and promo, if that's what you wanna call it. But I don't necessarily consider it to be marketing and promo, I'm just telling people what I'm doing, you know? It's just me sharing my passion.
DJing seems like one of the most fun jobs ever: you get paid to play music, drink and party. Are there stressful moments?
Yeah absolutely. Sometimes you'll have gigs where people might have certain expectations of you, and that's always interesting. Usually those kind of things are like weddings and stuff where my nerves might get a little bit more jittery. Other than that, I don't really experience it that much. But when I do go off on people, it's when belligerent people, unfortunately, have this expectation of what some DJs do, which is called quick changes. That's when they change the song every damn near thirty seconds, and that's cool, depending on where you're at and what you're doing. But I'm not that type of DJ. Sometimes people will show up with expectations of a certain type of DJ and that's when I start feeling some type of way.
What goes into becoming a DJ?
Practice. A lot of practice. Finding your niche. And building relationships with people.
Describe what a typical day/night on the job looks like for you.
Usually two days before the gig I don't do much. I'm really just in the house chillin, maybe exploring my music library to see what's all there or finding new music. Then on the night of the gig I'll probably have a nice decent meal [laughs], and then do a little bit of promo. I'll pack up my equipment and bring along some incense or healing stones with me. Once I get to the gig I'll have a nice beverage of some sort, and then I get started! I usually try not to complicate things.
Do you do any other work alongside DJing?
I do. I work a 9-5 that I am quitting once I finish this interview [laughs]. I will be sending my letter of resignation! But yeah, there's that job, and I'm also a program facilitator at the School of Art Institute at their Homan Square space in North Lawndale. I teach youth ages 14 to 18 different skills in media.
Does it ever feel like you're living a double life working a 9-5 and being this free spirit DJing?
Absolutely! Which is like 90% of the reason why I'm leaving! It's difficult to do that and manage this DJ life. I definitely am feeling like I'm living a double life. They're just two completely different environments. It's been a struggle for me as things began to progress in my DJ career, but at this point in my life I'm not ready to pursue DJing full time just yet. It's still a very interesting career and interesting market to be in. But I'm always going to do what makes me happy.
How supportive are your friends and family, particularly your parents, in your career move as a DJ?
My parents and my family have always known that I'm pretty much a creative. They're really supportive so I don't ever have those issues of doubt or backlash. Thankfully.
Pursuing a career in a creative field involves a lot of risk. Do you ever get nervous?
I just try to be as brave as I try to be, because I do get nervous. You know how long it has taken me to quit this job? I've been trying to quit this job forever. Probably for like the last year I've been working there lowkey. So yeah, I definitely get nervous, but I think that because of how hard I'm willing to grind for it, I'll be fine.
What motivates you to keep going?
My family and my friends, and the fact that DJing is something that I'm really passionate about. That's really a key component. Passion. It's what really drives me the most.
You DJ at the Party Noire event that you curated along with Lauren Ash and our previous Around The Way Girl Nick Adler, what separates DJing at this event from the others you've worked?
It's much more of a free feeling. It's normal to deal with patrons of a space, but in terms of doing my own event, I don't have any promoters or any managers telling me what type of energy to play or they're not feeling something. There's always a desired energy for a space, and if somebody else is running that space or event, then they're looking at me most times to provide a certain energy. Which is cool 'cause that's what I do, I provide energy, but when I'm in someone else's space, sometimes they're telling me how to play my music and I can't do that.
How did Party Noire come about?
Party Noire came about because we all sort of knew each other and what we were about, and Lauren wanted to do a day party and was like, would ya'll be interested? And Nick and I both agreed. The first time she mentioned it, it kinda went under the radar for a little while. Then I circled back like I'll help facilitate it as well as DJ it. So then we were like, cool we got a lil team. Then from there it just kinda started to happen. We had relationships with certain establishments and with people that were willing to support it. So that was a major key.
How do you decide what jams you're gonna play?
I don't know, honestly, 'cause I don't pre-plan my sets. It's really how I'm feeling at the moment and like what the crowd is telling me in terms of energy, as well as time. It's a couple of components that go into it. Being a DJ there's a control thing. When I first start I do whatever that comes to mind at that moment, and then when it's time to go, I'll start winding down 'cause people are gonna slow down, you know? The energy is just gonna change. It's really an internal feeling.
Do you get annoyed when people ask for requests?
[Laughs] Well, sometimes. I actually recently just explained to somebody at what point I get annoyed with requests. I get annoyed when A) you just got to the party, or B) I just got on the tables. You know? Like, the party just started, you have like four hours to go. If people are like, ooh you doing you're thing, and put in a request, I love it. Like sometimes requests really do give me ideas and a direction of where to go. But I'm straight up with it. I'll ask what the request is and hit 'em with a "Maybe." It depends on how I feel. But usually I don't get many requests.
What has been your most memorable event thus far?
I've done some pretty fun stuff, but I'll say in terms of honoring my roots I have to say AfroFuturistic Dance Party that I started with this DJ here, Sean Alvarez. That party really set a tone for me in terms of what my niche would look like, and that was dance music. I like to make people dance. So in that party, that's what I really discovered about myself as a DJ, be it funk, soul, hip-hop, house, disco, any genre I like to make people dance. People are in a much better place when they're dancing, they're not thinking about much, except for dancing, which is perfect because sometimes we just need that release.
Is this what you envisioned yourself doing at this age?
[Chuckles] Maybe not particularly DJing, but I am definitely on a path that I started seeing for myself, especially when I first moved back to Chicago from Florida. Before I moved back here I knew I wanted to plan creative events and do festival work and stuff like that. So in a sense yes. Did it involve DJing particularly? Not necessarily, but I was always fascinated by DJs.
Where would you like to see the future of your career?
I just wanna be able to run my own stuff and collaborate with people who have an understanding of what I consider myself to represent; which is living a life of open-mindedness. Of course I wanna grow and go places, but I'm just kinda going with the wind and not forcing anything. I'm just enjoying it for what it is but still put in work.
Have you experienced any challenges working in this male dominated industry?
I feel like I have been lucky enough to not yet experience those challenges, well not "yet," but you know what I mean [laughs]. I'm hoping that times are changing.
Are other female DJs supportive of one another or would you say they're competitive?
I definitely think there's a lot of support among women DJs. I think of course like anything it could be a little better and the industry overall could be a little better. In terms of support from other women DJs, I don't know if it's just the ones I'm wrapped up in, but I think we give each other a great amount of support.
How supportive is Chicago's music scene when it comes to women?
Hmmmm. Maybe to an extent. It's increasingly happening more. I think people are starting to recognize that there are a lot of talented women in the city that goes hard as any guy if not harder.
What advice would you give to young girls who want to pursue a career as a DJ?
Do not be afraid to work hard. Don't be shy, ever. And LOVE music. You have to genuinely love music to actually make a life of it. If you're just doing it just because, then it will be temporary and short lived.
What advice would you give to your 20-year-old self?
20-year-old Rae was super T [laughs]. 20-year-old Rae was always lit. Basically. On one at all times. I would probably tell my 20-year-old self what I've learned at this point of my life that you don't always have to be on 10 all the damn time, ready to pop off on anybody. Learn some self control lil girl!
What's your favorite thing about Chicago?
The black people here [laughs]. My people here on the Westside and the Southside, man! I'm from the Westside but I spend a significant amount of time on the Southside. I just love my people here. They're just way more fulfilling. We have our struggle but what I know about Chicago versus what the rest of the world knows about Chicago is that we have some of the most amazing black people in the city. Amazing people of color too! Our Latino community is also dope as hell.

It's easy to be unobtrusive when getting the candid shots and detail shots, but remaining out-of-the-way, while capturing the most important parts of a wedding can be a challenge. Sean Michael Hower manages to get the best photos possible without making the wedding party feel like they're on a photo shoot.
Sean takes pride in going…
