Long Island Biennial on View
Wondering what Long Island artists are up to these days? The Heckscher Museum of Art decided to find out. The result is Long Island Biennial 2010.

My Dog Tulip
No one knows exactly when the first animal became a pet. They are now so common that we take them for granted, giving little thought to this inherently odd process of taking wild creatures into our home and forming close relationships with them.

Soul Survivor
Two of the most beloved bands of the 60s were Booker T. and the MGs and the Rascals. While they each hailed from very different musical regions of the country and one band was primarily an instrumental group, the two bands now have a common link.

September 2010 Playlist
The following CDs are a sampling of the many strong releases that came out this year from artists who were once in groups or who are recording their first solo albums.

Champion Consultants
The business world is full of talented individuals who continue to push the limits of their professions to new and exciting places. Occasionally, there are budding superstars among them.

I Think, Therefore I Earn
In today’s challenging economy knowledge is power—earning power that is. The more you invest in your educational pedigree, the better chance you will have to secure a desirable job with a top tier salary.

Long Island’s Top Legal Eagles 2010
To compile a list of top area lawyers, we invited LexisNexis® Martindale-Hubbell®, the company that has long set the standard for peer review ratings, to share their list of local lawyers who have reached the highest levels of ethical standards and professional excellence.

Privacy Part I
I’ve developed an unfortunate habit of laughing when folks tell me their privacy is important to them. What’s so funny?

Drinkology September 2010
Stringent parameters exist in English law for whisky to be called Scotch, as seen in the most crucial parts of the Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009, which every Scotch distillery must follow.

Food Reviews: Bostwick’s Chowder House and Wild Honey on Main
Read our reviews of Bostwick’s Chowder House in East Hampton and Wild Honey on Main in Port Washington

Foodie Gossip - September 2010
Just because the coming of fall cools things down, it doesn’t mean the heat isn’t on for LI eats. The East End is holding prestigious winery events, the venerable Todd Jacobs is around and the booze is half-price!

Fourth Quarter Wine and Special Tasting Events
As with much of the business world, the fourth quarter is very important to the wine industry.

Ode To WFUV
Here’s to WFUV, the world’s greatest radio station! Here’s to Fordham University (welcome back to school!) and the entire borough of the Bronx for giving us this gift!

The Red Zone September 2010
Stop by these favorite haunts—and tell ‘em Pulse sent you.

Who Runs The Show?
I am in the personal training business. I train a lot of wealthy men. I hear all about how unhappy they are at home. Most of them get treated poorly, both in and out of the bedroom, by their spouses. I’m just wondering when women took over the masculinity of their households.

Eyes Matter
Decades ago, the biggest school-related threat to our eye health was the reading list. Today, when most of us spend massive amounts of time staring at lighted screens on computers, televisions, cell phones, etc., the phrase “back to school” should serve as a reminder to protect our used and abused eyes.

Pointing Fingers
Typically, dysfunctional couples come into marital therapy in finger-pointing mode. Rather than addressing the many problems they share, they are more focused on blaming the other for their problems.

The Power of Fruit
Tucked behind a quaint little shopping plaza on Main Street in Southold is a North Fork gem of a spa, Eastern Sun Holistic Health.

Team Rex
Not 24 hours after getting picked apart by Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game, Rex Ryan didn’t pause to crow about the memorable playoff run. Instead the forward-thinking coach built the framework for the 2010 New York Jets.

Tools of the Trade
To do any job right, whether it’s changing a tire, tailoring a dress, or baking a pie, you need the right tools. That includes making yourself look great.

Fall Landscape Tips from Down Under
To help us prep our lawn for fall, we spoke with Jamie Durie, award-winning landscape designer, environmentalist and host of HGTV’s The Outdoor Room.

Legends of the Fall
September marks the arrival of the second half of real estate’s selling season. Think of summer as halftime, a chance to review the spring drive and draw up game plans to—hopefully—achieve a “meeting of the minds” in the fall.

Sunrooms and Screened Porches
For those of us who squeeze the last moments out of the summer weather or love the outdoors no matter the season, a screened porch or a sunroom is a must.

The Once and Always Andrew Cuomo
The first time I ever heard Andrew Cuomo on the phone, I thought it was his old man calling. Andrew sounded shockingly like Mario Cuomo, one of the great orators of our time.

Portrait of a Supercar: 2011 Mercedes CL600 Coupe By Cal Hunter
Sleek and handsome, the 2011 Mercedes CL600 Coupe won’t make you think twice about making a grandiose car purchase.

Polo Rising
To watch eight men fly at forty miles per hour across thirteen acres of field on roughly eight thousand pounds of world-class equine is a lesson in control—the players’ over the horses, and the horses’ over the players.

September 2010 Skies
In the future, space historians will note that the final space shuttle mission, designated STS-133, of the orbiter Discovery launched on the 16th of September, 2010, marking the end of a more than 30-year-long era of space shuttles.
