Rolls-Royce workers 'Royal 18' claim Powerball prize
18 workers split $1 million ticket
INDIANAPOLIS - A group of 18 co-workers at the Rolls-Royce facility in Indianapolis will split a $1 million Powerball prize.
The Hoosier Lottery said Tuesday the workers had a winning ticket in Saturday's $60 million drawing, matching the first five numbers without the Powerball.
Winning numbers in the drawing were 5-6-37-41-54, Powerball 26.
Casey Campbell, of Greenwood, organized the "Royal 18" pool and began calling other members of the group Sunday morning. The winners went to Hoosier Lottery headquarters Monday to claim their prize.
Campbell said the group has played the lottery for several years, with members contributing $10 each week.
The winning ticket was bought at a Village Pantry store in Greenwood.
Before taxes, each member of the group will get $55,555, the lottery said.
"It's not enough to retire, but it's enough to do a little something," said Greg Simms, who bought the winning ticket.
All Royal 18 members are first-shift employees at Rolls-Royce.
The jackpot for Wednesday's drawing is $70 million.

DIANA research project aims at automotive electronics diagnostic capabilities
Semiconductor vendors Infineon and ZMD AG collaborate with car maker Audi and systems supplier Continental AG in the project DIANA. The German acronym translates as "end-to-end diagnostic capabilities in semiconductor components and systems for analyzing persistent and sporadic errors in automobiles". Funded with 4.8 million euros from the German federal research ministry, the DIANA project aims at improving the capabilities of finding flaws in electronic control units for engines, brakes, air conditioning, and other embedded computers in cars.
The project will create a basis for quicker and more efficient identification and correction of electronics faults in automobiles. In order to achieve these goals, the same quality control measures that are currently employed in the semiconductor industry will be applied to automotive electronics as a system. This is why Infineon holds the primary responsibility in the project. Infineon has vast experience in this field, having established a similar program for its own automotive-related engineering and manufacturing processes already years ago.
The result of the research will enable the systems to retrieve information regarding possible malfunctions during the operation directly from the semiconductor elements and pass it on to higher-level system components of the ECU. The ECU in turn will be able to collect and process operating data for diagnostic purposes and inform the driver and / or the repair shop accordingly. Such an end-to-end diagnostics capability is not available today. According to the DIANA research partners, it requires close collaboration along the value chain – from semiconductor manufacturer to the automotive OEM.
The research project is designed for four years. If the test routines developed in the DIANA context will have proved their worth, they could be accordingly used in other safety-relevant application fields such as railway systems, avionics and medical electronics.
Besides the four companies mentioned above, several research institutes and universities are participating in the project. Among them is Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits and the Universities of Stuttgart and Erlangen.

Instant analysis: PSU 39, Northwestern 28
October, 6, 2012
By Josh Moyer | ESPNChicago.com
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Northwestern has waited half a century to start a season with a 6-0 record.
The Nittany Lions made sure it will have to wait at least one more season.
Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin composed himself and led the Lions to a 39-28 victory after trailing by 11 points in the second half. McGloin dove in the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
Penn State's defense answered by forcing a Northwestern three-and-out, and Michael Zordich added another touchdown. Penn State improves to 4-2 with the win, and Northwestern falls to 5-1.
It was over when: Mike Hull deflected Northwestern's last chance at a comeback. On 4th-and-7 from the Wildcats' own 28, Trevor Siemian attempted a pass over the middle, but Hull got his hand on it right in front of the receiver. The sideline erupted after the stop.
Game ball goes to: McGloin. Trailing 28-17, McGloin put the team on his shoulders and didn't make a mistake. He led Penn State to two scoring drives and rumbled for a 5-yard TD run to put his team up 32-28. He finished 35-of-51 for 282 yards and two touchdown passes.
Stat of the game: 161. Rushing yards by Penn State. Northwestern came in with the nation's 13th-ranked run defense, and PSU entered with the No. 86 rushing offense. Still, somehow, PSU was able to have one of its best rushing games of the season.
Unsung hero: Zach Zwinak. Against a tough run defense, the Penn State fullback-turned-tailback finished with 121 yards on 28 carries. He entered this season as the team's last option at tailback, but he has shown in the past three games that he might just be the best running back on the team.
What it means: Penn State is a legitimate contender for the title in the Leaders Division. The Nittany Lions showed they can make a comeback, and it showed this offense is for real. For Northwestern, it showed it still has some defensive issues to fix -- but the offense is certainly dynamic.

New era for Southern Riverina Irrigators as chair resigns
After seven years at the helm of Southern Riverina Irrigators, Ted Hatty has stepped aside to make way for a ''new face''.February 20, 2013 4:08am
Mr Hatty said he felt it was time to ''let someone else have a go''.
Taking up the challenge and elected at last week's AGM was Jerilderie farmer Denis Tinkler.
Mr Hatty, a Tocumwal farmer, has led southern riverina communities through some of the toughest fights as chair of SRI.
''When I first started, the first issue to come across my desk was the sale of the Snowy Hyrdo scheme – which was an interesting time.
''I had only been in the job a few weeks.''
Since then, Mr Hatty said the challenges kept coming, including the compulsory acquisition of water and subsequent fight for compensation and the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.
It all came at a time when the district was wrestling with a decade long drought and consecutive years of zero water allocations.
''It has been very rewarding and I have enjoyed the job, while also mindful it has been challenging as well.
''I am looking forward to a change but I do have some fond memories.
''I still have a keen interest in water issues and I will not disappear from the organisation completely.
''I am still the SRI delegate on the NSW Irrigators' Council and I am only to happy to help out where I can.
''There just comes a time when you need a fresh face, and a sign of a healthy organisation is that there is someone there to be that fresh face.''
Mr Hatty said Mr Tinkler's current and previous irrigator group roles, and his wide knowledge of the industry, make him an ideal choice for the top job.
Mr Tinkler, 62, is a rice and meat sheep farmer. His 'Grantham' property is between Jerilderie and Finley, and he also owns a farm in Coleambally.
He was a founding member of MIL and was with the company from 1991 to 2000, on the advisory committee and then the board of directors.
''I lost the ballot in 2000 and left MIL, and then decided farming was where I wanted to be.
''I then took an interest in water politics and joined SRI.
''I am passionate about the need of SRI as an advocate for irrigators and irrigations.
''And I give Ted credit for the years he has put in, which has probably been the most difficult time.''
Mr Tinkler is also a former chair of the Berriquin Ricegrowers Association of Australia (RGA) branch, is a representative of the NSW Irrigators' Council and a delegate of the Berriquin Landholders' Association.
Other executive members announced at the recent SRI AGM include Wakool Landholders' Association chair David May as senior vice chair and Deniboota Landholders' Association chair Alistair Starritt as elected junior vice chairman.

Is there going to be an "Ian White" zone - a gigantic doghouse for everyone to sit in?
how about the Del Kaiser zone - where they hand you a contract, everyone praises you and lifts you onto their shoulders as their savior, then someone smashes you in the hand with a hammer and kicks you in the junk?

Skateboarding: The Fountain of Youth
Posted on Thursday, May 10, 2012. Photo by Your Mom. Tags: [Chill Shots]
Saw this on PetaPixel. So this mom takes a photo of her kid on the first day of school every day for 12 years. Can you tell when the kid started "skating"? That being in quotes because you can't really tell who skates by the feets anymore these days. Looks like a pair of Half Cabs came in at year seven and by year 10 he must have been pretty confused with wearing Fallens and being a bowl troll as evidenced by those rabbit ear laces dragging the ground like caveman knuckles. Anyway, this kid not only needs some pants, but if you look at the end, you can use the feets to make the fair judgement call that he quit skating by that time. Or started longboarding. Same difference. It's a sad pattern that I'm afraid too many kids go through. Oh well, in 10 years he'll be telling glory days stories about how he used to skate then going modern day mid-life crisis. Don't ever stop, kids. Skateboarding is the fountain of youth physically and mentally. This kid in 12th grade is already older than your dad.

The long-awaited opening of Victoria's Secret's London flagship store yesterday had plenty of 'wow factor': a glittering glass staircase, pink chandeliers, costumes from the VS Fashion Show, even the debut of a new fragrance, called 'London', developed especially for the occasion.
The only things missing were, arguably, the star attractions: Victoria's Secret's superstar celebrity Angels. Unlike the company's highly publicized launch in Canada two years, the opening of the 40,000-square-foot pink palace on New Bond Street offered no celebrity sightings or meet-and-greets with Miranda, Doutzen, Candice or local favorite Rosie.
That didn't seem to deter fans, though, as thousands braved threatening skies to line up outside the four-storey shop in London's tony Mayfair district for a chance to fill up one of those iconic pink shopping bags.
And while no Angels were spotted in the throng, their images were everywhere in massive posters lining the walls and museum-like displays of custom costumes worn by the models during the last TV runway show. The shop also includes a VS Pink floor, a VIP floor for celebrity shoppers, and plenty of London-themed souvenir products.
Check out some of the store interiors in these images from London's daily Telegraph.
To learn more about what the arrival of Victoria's Secret means to the UK lingerie industry, read our earlier feature here.
Anticipation over the opening of Victoria's Secret's new London flagship store — its first full-product store outside of North America* — has been building for months. So it was a major buzz-kill when the company suddenly announced in July that its long-planned, pre-Olympics launch was delayed indefinitely.
The news sparked plenty of speculative rumors: that there were problems with the massive New Bond Street retail space; that Victoria's Secret didn't want to compete with the Olympics for media attention; the company wanted to wait out Ramadan in order to cash in on the shopping spree that usually follows the Islamic holiday period; or scheduling problems with its supermodel Angels were making it difficult to put together the kind of traffic-stopping media event that typically accompanies such a launch (more on that later).
[A version of this article first appeared as a guest column on LingerieBriefs.com.]
But the delay — and the company's summer-long silence on the matter — shouldn't surprise anyone who knows Victoria's Secret. Despite its flashy image, the lingerie superbrand is a famously secretive and slow-moving company that executes its strategic plans like they're plotting moves in a chess game. Limited Brands, the Ohio-based retail giant that owns VS, has been planning its UK expansion for a long time (the London store was first announced more than two years ago) and, as the saying goes, they have only one chance to make a good first impression.
At this point, only one thing is certain about Victoria's Secret's British invasion: whenever it happens, it will be a game-changer, both for the UK lingerie market and for VS itself.
The London opening isn't a one-off for Victoria's Secret, which first began to look beyond its American base a few years ago with test-market mini-boutiques in a handful of international airports. Today, the company is committed to an aggressive international expansion and, according to Limited Brands' latest investor report, is "on track to open over 200 international locations THIS YEAR."
The opening of the London flagship store will trigger a stealth-like expansion into malls across the UK — a strategy that Victoria's Secret has used with tremendous success in Canada. In addition, three new high-end stores are slated for the Middle East; 10 stores are targeted for Colombia; one mall store is planned for El Salvador; the Dominican Republic will get two VS shops; and there's even a franchise beauty and accessories boutique on the books for Poland.
The company's experience in Canada over the past two years is probably the most instructive indicator for anyone trying to guess what kind of impact Victoria's Secret will have in the UK.
After massive openings in Edmonton and Toronto in 2010 (complete with attention-grabbing appearances by the supermodel Angels), Victoria's Secret has slowly built up its Canadian roster. It now has nearly two dozen VS and VS Pink stores around the country, and has announced seven new stores in Canada for the coming year. Its latest opening, just last week, drew predictable crowds of shoppers and gawkers in Halifax.
The Canadian rollout was a triumph of execution and a reminder of the powerful global appeal of the Victoria's Secret brand. Canadian shoppers welcomed Victoria's Secret almost ecstatically, even though you could find equivalents to most of the company's products in Canadian shops like La Vie En Rose, La Senza, Jacob and other mall brands.
And who was the big loser in the battle for market share? Ironically, it's been Limited Brands itself, which also owns the struggling La Senza brand in Canada. La Senza (Canada) has foundered in Victoria's Secret's wake, and last year Limited closed 40 of its stores in this country. La Senza jobs were moved from its historic Montreal base to Limited's headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, and the company plans to shutter 30 more branches as it tries to "right-size" the brand and convert it into discount teen label.
Meanwhile, the most vulnerable competitor in Canada, La Vie En Rose, responded to the VS invasion cleverly. Rather than just fight Victoria's Secret on home turf, Canada's largest independent lingerie chain looked abroad, announcing plans to take its brand into an odd assortment of relatively untapped foreign markets — Georgia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan — and expand its existing presence in several Middle East countries as well as China and India. Such moves won't protect the company's historic market share in Canada, but it will give La Vie En Rose new sources of cash to strengthen its brand and its bottom line.
In Britain's feverishly competitive lingerie market, anyone who thinks there won't be casualties following Victoria's Secret's arrival is either in denial or hasn't been paying attention. Based on figures from its North American operations, it's reasonable to expect each new Victoria's Secret location to siphon $5-million USD (or more) annually from the market. The big question is, who's going to pay?
Many observers have suggested that Elle Macpherson Intimates — Britain's most popular bra label — is the most vulnerable, but the Bendon Group's flagship brand typically appeals to a slightly older demographic than Victoria's Secret (a razor-thin distinction that has insulated La Vie En Rose and Jacob from market share erosion in Canada).
More likely, the companies with the most to lose are those with the largest retail operations, who will have to fight for foot traffic, or big e-commerce portals, which stand to lose some click-happy fingers. On the retail front, that means stores like Debenhams and the iconic Marks and Spencer (which claims to sell more than 60% of all knickers bought in Britain); on the e-comm side, it means ASOS, Topshop and others like them.
Larger independent retailers are also nervous — and girding for battle. Ann Summers, the UK's biggest seller of erotic toys, last year expanded its sexy lingerie offerings significantly in an effort to broaden its customer base. Meanwhile, successful newcomer Boux Avenue has pulled out all the stops, announcing its own plans to expand into foreign markets and, earlier this month, repositioning its brand image by hiring a plus-sized model to be the company's new face.
Still, the obvious low-hanging fruit in the UK lingerie market in 2012 is La Senza. The historic UK retail label (which is unaffiliated with the North American brand of the same name) teetered on the edge of bankruptcy late last year, sending spasms through the industry. In January, though, it was rescued by the formidable Kuwait-based retail giant M.H. Alshaya, which earned tremendous goodwill by keeping 60 stores open and thus preserving hundreds of UK jobs.
Alshaya's intervention in La Senza, however, sets the table for an unusual market showdown. Not only does La Senza compete directly against VS for the youth push-up bra and knickers market, but parent company Alshaya also operates Victoria's Secret's prized franchise locations in the Middle East. Will Limited Brands really try to build UK market share at the expense of its powerful Middle Eastern partner, possibly cannibalizing itself like it has done in Canada? Don't bet on it.
One thing you can bet on, though: British lingerie makers and sellers aren't going to let the pink polyester tide wash over them without a spirited fight.
The UK lingerie industry has been a beehive of activity over the past year as smaller labels expand into new categories and introduce new distribution channels in order to increase brand loyalty. No one will say they're deliberately bracing to take on Victoria's Secret, but they'd be foolish not to.
From a fashion standpoint, Britain is also the most hyper-creative lingerie market in the world right now. Whether your tastes run to fashion-forward concept brands like Nichole De Carle or Made By Niki, eco-labels like Sweetling and Ayten Gasson, edgy artsy names like Dirty Pretty Things and Yes Master, vintage revivalists like What Katie Did and Kiss Me Deadly, or high-end fetish wear from the likes of Bordelle and Lascivious, Britain is awash in talent and overflowing with style options. There is nothing you can find in Victoria's Secret that can't be trumped by existing goods in the UK market.
There's also an 'X Factor' in the coming market battle. How much do British women care about where their knickers come from? How solid is their allegiance to homegrown UK labels, some of whom (like Marks and Spencer) have been providing undies to British families for generations?
British lingerie professionals see this as vital to the industry's survival and have collectively been pushing a "Made In UK" promotional strategy that piggybacks on the patriotic fervor whipped up by the Queen's Jubilee and the recent Olympics. To some, the arrival of Victoria's Secret in London is a repudiation of that noble nationalistic goal, and one that can only be thwarted at the cash registers. Make no mistake, Victoria's Secret will ignite a war over brand loyalty in Britain, a battle for the hearts and souls and butts of young consumers.
Victoria's Secret also faces other significant obstacles in finding a home in the UK market, where people still giggle over the American word "panties":
Finally, the biggest impediment to the company's conquest of Britain and other markets might be Victoria's Secret itself. Its remarkable success over the past two decades has transformed lingerie marketing and merchandising, but every page in the VS playbook — including its product inventory — has been copied by its competitors everywhere. Victoria's Secret may land on Britain's shores only to find its enemy looks frighteningly familiar.
What Victoria's Secret has going for it in the coming battle is something called brand penetration — that combination of name recognition and customer approval that can be a retailer's license to print money. Thanks largely to its Angels and the annual TV runway show, Victoria's Secret has astonishing brand penetration in countries around the world where it has never traded before. And in the UK there's an added bonus: the Victoria's Secret name — a sly dig at the country's longest-reigning monarch and her straitlaced morals — always made the company sound like it was British to begin with.
Brand power alone should give the company a huge head start and ensure a brisk trade when it finally opens its doors. But what happens after that is something else altogether. Victoria's Secret will be mindful to avoid anything resembling an anti-American backlash, hoping that the allure of its rosy, fragrant emporiums will make British women put their patriotism aside at least temporarily.
Victoria's Secret is even tweaking its business model to make a good first impression on its new UK audience. Opening its flagship store on New Bond Street — where people shop for upmarket fashions and couture labels — is an ambitious strategy designed to elevate the brand's image. (Watch for something similar in the U.S. this year as the company undertakes a multi-million-dollar makeover to its flagship New York store in Herald Square.)
There are also rumors that Victoria's Secret will open its London flagship store quietly, without any Angels present to whip up a predictable media frenzy. If that turns out to be true, it'll reveal the company's careful, wait-and-see approach to the task of exporting its American brand of sexy to the world and, perhaps, an uncharacteristic modesty as it begins that noble crusade.
Just don't expect that to last for long.
[NOTE: *A smaller mall store opened as scheduled in July near the Olympic Village, and Victoria's Secret also runs a small boutique at Heathrow Airport. The company has still not announced a new opening date for the London store.]
If you're young, blonde and white, consider yourself lucky: you've won the trifecta of sexiness. If you're none of those things, give up already.
At least that seems to be the message in Victoria's Secret's annual "What Is Sexy?" list, which features a bevy of slinky blonde Hollywood up-and-comers — and almost no one else.
According to the lingerie retailer's definition, sexiness today covers the vast human spectrum that ranges from Blake all the way to Britney, from Amber to Stacy, from Ashley to Annalynne. Let's face it, if you're on Leonardo DiCaprio's speed-dial, you're probably on this list too.
Think I'm exaggerating? Here are the facts:
Of the 17 individuals on the 2012 "What Is Sexy?" list, 15 are either full-time or sometime blondes. (Only redhead Jessica Chastain and brunette Olivia Wilde offset the monochrome parade.)
Only one person in the homogenous group is non-white: the mixed-race icon Beyoncé. There are no African-American women, no Latinas, no Rihanna.
Thus, you won't find Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez or Selena Gomez in this lineup. Same goes for Jennifer Hudson, Paula Patton, Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union or anyone else from America's nearly 20-million-strong community of black women. Instead, ethnic diversity is represented by such figures as German ice-blonde Diane Kruger and platinum-blonde Swedish blogger Elin Kling.
With a couple of exceptions, the women on the list are all single and without children. There are no gay women, only one person shorter than 5'4″ (Kristen Bell) and no full-figured, plus-sized or even genuinely buxom women. The "sexiest curves", according to Victoria's Secret, this year belong to svelte actress Amber Heard.
The average age of women on the list is 28, although that figure drops if you include the cast members of Pretty Little Liars (who were named "Sexiest TV Cast"). Only five women on the 2012 list are over 30 years old, the eldest being Charlize Theron at 36.
That may explain why Eva Mendes, Penelope Cruz, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Aniston, Denise Richards or Aishwarya Rai didn't make the cut this year — ALL of those celebrated beauties are older than EVERYONE in the Victoria's Secret universe of sexiness.
To be sure, all of the women on the 2012 "What Is Sexy?" list are physically attractive, and many are genuinely accomplished. But it's hard not to see this as a shallow — and woefully unimaginative — lineup that exposes a kind of bigotry at the heart of Victoria's Secret's cynical marketing.
The razor-thin demographic segment represented by the women on this list is conveniently similar to the one occupied by the leggy blonde Angels who model for Victoria's Secret (there's an eerie moment in the video below when Candice Swanepoel holds up a photo of lookalike Jennifer Lawrence), but it bears no resemblance to the remaining 99.99% of the female population.
When Victoria's Secret asks the rhetorical question "what is sexy?", the answer is obvious — and outrageous. It's: "People like us. Not people like you."
The "What Is Sexy?" campaign has changed drastically since Victoria's Secret introduced it seven years ago.
When the company announced its first "What Is Sexy?" list in 2006, they seemed to take the question seriously. It wasn't enough to merely declare the "sexiest man alive" (as People did), or the "sexiest woman alive" (as Esquire did), or list the world's top 100 hotties (as Maxim and all the other lads' mags did).
Instead, Victoria's Secret set out to define "sexy" for the modern age by providing a set of familiar cultural reference points. After all, sexiness may be a timeless quality, but it's also fluid, subjective and heavily influenced by changes in both fashion trends and celebrity popularity.
Thus, in its broad first campaign, the company covered a lot of bases. It bestowed the "sexy" crown on both male and female winners in four categories (music, acting, sports, TV), identified the sexiest U.S. and foreign cities, and chose the sexiest food (chocolate), music video, movie (Unfaithful) and even car.
It was an odd list (where else could you find both Shakira and Jay Leno as co-winners in the same contest?), but you could tell they put some thought into it. Back then, "sexiness" wasn't just a collection of smooth body parts; it was a reflection of character, style, humor, presentation and self-confidence.
The list was also a strategic marketing coup for Victoria's Secret. People talked about it, debated the choices, secretly compared themselves to those who made the list. More than any other corporate brand in America, Victoria's Secret — which, it should be remembered, sells underwear — became the presumptive authority on the subject of "sexy".
Since the first "What Is Sexy?" list appeared, that question has been at the core of all of the company's relentless marketing, to the point where the brand and the question gradually morphed into one self-referencing, self-promoting concept. What is sexy? Victoria's Secret is sexy.
In its first few years, Victoria's Secret had fun with the question and its annual list. Plenty of men were included, along with sexy athletes, couples and parents. David Beckham was named sexiest dad in 2007, a year before wife Victoria was chosen sexiest mom.
And there were some off-the-wall selections that showed the company was being creative with its choices: Matthew McConaughey was named "best beach body" in 2007, Stephen Colbert earned "sexiest funny guy" in 2009 and Padma Lakshmi was named sexiest chef in 2010. Even Ellen De Generes made the list in the same year as Christina Hendricks and ScarJo.
The most ambitious attempt to create a lasting blueprint that would define sexiness for the ages came in 2009, when Victoria's Secret presented twin lists that matched current celebrities with icons from the past. Brigitte Bardot and Angelina Jolie were twin winners in the "sexiest lips" category, while Kate Winslet was paired with Marilyn Monroe for "sexiest actress". Most fun were the oddball pairings that triggered countless debates: Cary Grant/Kelly Ripa for "sexiest smile" and Jim Morrison/Beyoncé for "sexiest musician".
Since 2009, however, the "What Is Sexy?" list has become little more than a scorecard of who's-hot-now among the red carpet crowd.
The company no longer includes men on the list, or athletes or anyone who doesn't appeal directly to the 90210 audience. Instead, "what's sexy today" are established, currently popular female stars who validate the mainstream tastes of Victoria's Secret's youthful customer base — role models whose generic looks can be achieved with a bottle of hair color and some lacey underthings.
But not every Hollywood bombshell passes that test, which is why you won't find Nicki Minaj or anyone like her here. She's too short, she's the wrong color and, let's face it, she doesn't need a push-up bra.
Victoria's Secret is all about one thing: giving you the goods to show off your assets to optimal effect. And when we say assets we mean, of course, asses.
Wait a minute. What the hell? VS is boosting butts now?
Yes, after exhausting every possible way to amplify frontal cleavage, the lingerie retailer has turned its attention to your bottom line.
You can see the results in a daring new video to promote the VS 2012 swimwear collection. Called "Beach Bums", the saucy spot offers an extended look at the derrières of Candice Swanepeol, Behati Prinsloo, Elyse Taylor and Magdalena Frackowiack, who can now add "butt model" to their resumés and portfolios.
It's part of a mega-marketing push for the company's extensive "Teeny Bikini" bathing suit line, ostensibly produced to encourage customers to mix-and-match bikini bottoms. But it's also one of the most pervy, hyper-sexualized bits of female objectification that Victoria's Secret has ever produced.
Beach Bums is meant to be "cute, cheeky fun" (their words), although this time VS comes closer than usual to testing the patience of censors and Republicans (you almost certainly will never see this used as TV commercial).
It also risks sparking a backlash from women's groups and feminist advocates. The video's explicit, fetishistic fascination with bums is undeniably sophomoric, and would probably be deemed highly offensive if VS took the same drooling, spring-break approach to female breasts. (Whatever you think of Victoria's Secret marketing, their bra promotions are rarely this crass, typically focusing on the models and the products while leaving the leering to the imaginations of their viewers.)
One other thing stands out in the Beach Bums video: all the butts on display look absolutely identical. In fact, in the numerous shots that DON'T show the model's faces, it's impossible to identify the models or tell one from another. Isn't that one of the main complaints about porn?
The most talked-about new lingerie collection of 2012 didn't come from a precocious design school grad or a wannabe Gaga stylist, though there's plenty of both around these days.
It's the new Victoria's Secret Designer Collection, which caught consumers and the industry itself by surprise with its sudden appearance in late January — when the powerhouse retailer is usually busy boggling our minds with new swimwear collections and a pink blizzard of Valentine's Day offerings.
The new Designer Collection was released only online and in a handful of stores after months of secretive planning that included the unannounced debut of some pieces during last fall's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Numerous media reports stated that the collection sold out in one day.
And although that's not quite true, the collection is sufficiently different from the company's other products that it could be a game-changer — for Victoria's Secret and the North American lingerie industry in general. Here's a Q&A guide to the new collection, and why it's worth paying attention to.
What's so special about this collection?
First, it's gorgeous. Gone are the style signatures that often undercut Victoria's Secret's aspirations as a fashion label: there are no logos, no cheesy digital prints, no Sexy Little™ branding and, best of all, none of the bright candy pink you'll find throughout the VS catalog.
Colorways are mostly soft and understated (with the exception of the summery lemonade hue above) and there are plenty of genteel embellishments like silk straps, sparkly bows and elegant embroidery.
It's a small collection and pieces are meant to be worn in sets, which is another deviation from the company's typical mix-and-match approach. Those ubiquitous VS T-shirt bras are, for the most part, replaced with stylish underwire demis and balconets and a few tastefully embellished push-ups.
Of course, it's also a lot more expensive than almost everything else in the Victoria's Secret catalog. Bras go up to $158, which is more than three times the cost of a typical VS bra. Some people have complained about the price tag, but Victoria's Secret would rather you thought of it this way: it's still less than you'll pay at La Perla.
Why is it called a "designer collection"?
That's a good question, since a "designer" fashion label usually carries the name of its designer — which this one doesn't. The collection was produced by longtime VS supplier Bennett & Company (which also produces their popular erotic costumes line), but VS doesn't showcase or even identify its designer or design team members.
This is essentially a generic, upscale capsule collection that could have been called the "premium" or "luxury" collection. Internally, where the collection was shrouded in secrecy befitting the Manhattan Project last summer, it was known to employees as the "red label" collection.
Branding it the "designer collection" appears to be a way of piggybacking on the company's earlier designer series (see below) and, oddly, giving Victoria's Secret some couture cred by positioning it alongside other fashion lingerie "designers".
It also capitalizes on the snobbish appeal of the word "designer", which usually means "better and more expensive" in a consumer culture besotted with designer dogs, designer cocktails and even designer diapers.
Of course that approach could backfire, since it begs the question: If this is "designer" lingerie, what's all that other stuff they sell?
Is it really sold out — and if so, why?
It's hard to know whether this collection sold truckloads or if VS simply ordered a small test run — regardless, there's not much left. The collection went on sale online and in fewer than 10 stores in the last week of January. To make matters worse, most styles were offered in a very limited range of sizes. The pretty powder-blue sheer lace corset above, for example, only comes in four sizes — and only the 34C is still available.
This has all the hallmarks of a market test which, given its eager reception, will almost certainly come roaring back later with much wider distribution and selection. Think of it as the lingerie world's equivalent to the McRib.
Why was there so much secrecy around this collection?
There's a lot riding on this for Victoria's Secret: they're not just trying to sell a new line, they're ultimately hoping to redefine the lingerie shopping experience for North American women. By testing this market, VS wants to learn whether there's a broader public appetite for the kind of luxury and status-symbol appeal offered by the dozens of tiny brands nipping at their heels and, more importantly, by sexy (and more costly) European imports like La Perla, Agent Provocateur and others.
In other words, are North American women ready to start spending more for better intimates?
If they've guessed right (and we think they have), it's a timely move. Just as Victoria's Secret continues to expand into other countries (its UK flagship store is set to open this summer in London), so too are offshore competitors — especially Agent Provocateur — looking to expand stateside and take a bite out of their North American market share. Expect a long, hot summer ahead.
How does this affect independent lingerie designers?
To make room for the Designer Collection, Victoria's Secret axed a long-time tradition of showcasing the work of hand-picked independent labels by buying their goods and giving them display space in select retail outlets. Among those featured brands were The Lake and Stars, Yes Master, La Fée Verte, Bordelle, and Ell & Cee. The program also gave established international labels such as Pleasure State, Chantal Thomass and Lascivious an introduction to the North American market.
Numerous young labels benefited from the program, which put VS in the unusual position of promoting (and profiting from) its competitors. Even so, that program allowed VS to market-test some fashion-forward styles that didn't fit its own catalog, and it created a lot of industry goodwill. Indie labels appreciated the outreach and coveted a spot in the VS designer series, knowing it could provide brand exposure and much-needed revenue during their startup phase.
"They were wonderful to work with," Laura Mehlinger of the young fashion label Lola Haze told Lingerie Talk. "Their buyer was talented and made elevated and interesting buys. I was initially surprised at how daring some of her choices were for a mass market store."
The Turkish label Else had some of its distinctive Chevron collection picked up by Victoria's Secret last fall, just before the program was discontinued. "We were happy they picked us and wish that business was continuous rather than just a one-time opportunity," Else designer Ela Onur told us. "I think having a high-end designer mix was a good strategy to raise VS's consumer profile."
Alas, that highly sought-after market entry point is now closed to a new generation of up-and-coming designers.
Is there anything original about the new collection?
The promotional material for the Designer Collection calls it "lingerie only Victoria's Secret could create" — an odd bit of hyperbole that is both untrue and kind of a rude jab at the hundreds of other designer brands that are in the same business.
VS creative chief Ed Razek offered the same kind of silliness when he told Women's Wear Daily: "We took it in-house because we have a design team that has such a passion for lingerie and they differentiate Victoria's Secret from any other brand."
In fact, the opposite is true here. However lovely the VS Designer Collection is, much of it is boilerplate French lingerie design — nothing wrong with that! — and the kind of thing produced by innumerable other couture labels and department store brands alike. It's only "new" to Victoria's Secret.
The company admits as much in its own promo material, which says the collection is "inspired by iconic Parisian fashion and crafted with a nod to European couturiers."
How will North American indie designers survive now?
The move by Victoria's Secret into "fancy" undies isn't so much a threat to independent designers as it is a recognition of the tremendous growth in the number and creativity of new labels over the past few years.
These days, creative designers can pitch their wares to a growing assortment of distribution channels such as high-end fashion retailers like Barney's, online stores like Net-A-Porter and aggressive boutiques with robust web operations.
Treacle from The Lingerie Addict told us about bumping into a couple of lingerie designers in Seattle who were on their way to a meeting with Nordstrom which, she said, "is swooping in and beginning to carry a lot of designer lines after years of sticking to the same old brands."
Fashion retailers are scrambling to offer exclusive labels and boutique collections to differentiate themselves and incentivize customers. A big, creative independent lingerie industry fits that model very well.
What's the long-term impact of all this?
The Designer Collection opens Victoria's Secret up to a whole new market segment — women willing to spend hundreds of dollars at once on lingerie shopping sprees. That usually means a more mature customer with more discretionary income and more glamorous tastes than they are used to serving.
But it's not just the older market up for grabs here. Assuming VS decides to expand this collection, it could have a long-lasting impact on their typical, younger clientele as well.
Countless women (and men) in North America under the age of 40 learned about lingerie and developed their own style preferences primarily through their exposure to Victoria's Secret and its relentless marketing. Many are either unaware of, disinterested in, or don't have access to luxury import labels or arty designer offerings.
The Designer Collection is poised to change all that by introducing a higher standard of lingerie fashion to millions who now think splurging on a $30 three-pack of lacy briefs is the height of self-indulgence.
If Victoria's Secret succeeds in stimulating people's appetite for finer, more stylish lingerie, everyone will benefit and all those small labels currently on the outside looking in will be glad they did.

Do you need a liquor license to sell booze-laced cake?
That's one of the questions local entrepreneur Frankie Murphy is wrestling with as she prepares to launch her new business Tipsy Bakery.
Murphy, 24, said she got the idea, ironically, from her mother.
"On my 21st birthday my mom made me a Jello-shot cake," Murphy said. "That's Jello with alcohol in it poured onto the cake. It was fantastic."
Murphy began exploring the idea of selling high-octane cakes and cupcakes and concluded Springfield would be an ideal market for the 21-and-over treats.
She envisions her product will appeal to college students and adults who enjoy good and interesting food.
She thinks Tipsy cakes would be particularly popular at bachelorette parties.
Alcoholic cupcakes for bachelorette parties? I think we have a winning business idea.

Began a custom sewing and knitting business late last year and this dog coat was one of my orders from a Marine veteran. The dog coat was made for an English bulldog and displays an Corporal E-4 patch, Medal of Good Conduct, and Navy and Marines Overseas Medal. It also comes complete with an imitation pant leg along the back! Simplicity 9520 was my pattern basis for this project and I altered it quite a bit to fit this bulldog. Was a fun concept and I really enjoyed sewing it together!
If you are interested in having a similar dog coat made for your pet, contact me at artandneedlework at gmail dot com for a custom coat.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Malone Takes the Breaks in Stride
by Alanah McGinley on 06/04/08 at 02:59 PM ET
Comments (0)
From David Shoalts at the Globe & Mail,
"Anyone else in this room would be doing the same thing," [Ryan] Malone said. "I'm definitely thankful. A broken nose, swollen lip and some chipped teeth are a pretty good scenario for a puck in the face. I look at it as you never know when you're going to be back in the Stanley Cup final, so you have to do everything you can to help out."
Actually, Malone's nose was already broken before Gill's shot hit him. Red Wings defenceman Niklas Kronwall did that in the first game when he flattened Malone with a bone-rattling body check. When Gill's shot broke it again, it was practically old hat.
"Yeah, you can get drilled a lot," Malone said. "You're standing in front of the net. That's my job. On the power play, I'll be back there again."
