Former pro cyclist George Hincapie made his name for being one of the sport's top domestiques, the riders that work alongside the eventual winners of the big events such as the Tour de France. Hincapie rode with three of that race's big winners, including Lance Armstrong, a man he found himself testifying against last year as the Armstrong Myth crumbled.
In the midst of all that, the 39-year-old Hincapie admitted that he had used performance-enhancing drugs at some point in his career and accepted a six-month ban from the sport. Not a big deal since he had already announced his retirement.
But after 19 years of cycling, Hincapie didn't just spend his time eating whatever he wanted to and watching TV. Nope. The guy decided to open a hotel—for cyclists. Later this summer, Hincapie will open Hotel Domestique, a 13-room high-end hotel in South Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains. According to Forbes, the hilltop retreat will feature a "small bike shop with onsite mechanic, preset suggested ride routes, and high-end rental road and mountain bikes from Hincapie's last team sponsor, Switzerland's BMC Racing."Continue reading...

Condé Nast is used to long lead times and attention to detail with the publication of its high-end titles including Gentlemen's Quarterly, Glamour and Vogue. But in those regards, printing a magazine is nothing next to rolling out an entirely new strategy of brand extension and enhancement in businesses that have little to do with publishing.
Still, Condé Nast has been plowing ahead with its plans to add bars, clubs, restaurants and even a fashion school in various high-profile locations around the world in order to provide completely new sources of revenues, to exploit its magazine and corporate brands in profitable new ways and to produce an ever-more-valuable offset to a traditional magazine-publishing business that—while still comprising a majority of Conde Nast's revenues—isn't a growth industry anymore.
"Our business can no longer be defined strictly as publishing, but takes the form of brand management," Jonathan Newhouse, chairman and CEO of Condé Nast International, told Business of Fashion. "We want to bring the experience of the publishing brands to end users in new forms in order to strengthen the brands and their relevance. Of course, we aim to do so profitably."Continue reading...

Spaniard Ferran Adria has been considered one of the world's top chefs for decades, but it wasn't clear what would happen with his famed gastronomic skills once his famed restaurant elBulli closed its doors in 2011.
Now all those hungry for such information have got the scoop: Adria has founded "the nonprofit elBulli Foundation, a culinary think tank and visitor center," which is scheduled to open in 2015, according to Bloomberg.
"We want to promote innovation using food as our channel," said Adria—who's a consultant on food innovation to PepsiCo, which calls him "the world's greatest chef" and put his face on a limited-edition Pepsi can, below—to Bloomberg.
"We have two missions," he added. "One is to keep the elBulli legacy and the knowhow and the buildings. The second is to create the creators. I hope one or two of the 30 creative people we get each year will be the next generation of leaders of the culinary revolution."Continue reading...

Emblematic of the slow but steady rise in health and wellness awareness, the gold-standard of 'conscious capitalism,' natural grocer Whole Foods is taking its brand and business acumen into the health resort sector.
"We have the perfect vehicle for this," Whole Foods Market co-CEO John Mackey told USA Today. "Think of it as a center where people would go for a day, a weekend or a week for healthy lifestyle education."
Call it a spa, resort or "healthy lifestyle education center," it's planned to open in the brand's Austin, Texas, hometown within three years—a pilot project that could catapult the company into the lucrative market pioneered by Canyon Ranch or Pritikin, or it could be another failure along the lines of the five education-focused Wellness Clubs that Whole Foods tested in 2006, including a location in Dallas.Continue reading...

Disney CEO and chairman Robert Iger has spent 15 years trying to make Shanghai Disney a reality and now he's only two years away from walking through its gates. He shared an image yesterday with 450 of the company's stockholders of what the central 11 acres of the park will look like, including the park's signature castle. This one, just to put a little exclamation point on things, will be taller than any of the castles in Disney's five other parks, the Phoenix Business Journal reports.
What Iger didn't get into is that the new park is close enough to serve as some competition to the one on Lantau Island, Hong Kong, that opened in 2005 and only just turned a profit last year, the L.A. Times reports. Close to half of the visitors to the park—which is 52 percent owned by the Hong Kong government and 48 percent owned by Disney—come from mainland China. Continue reading...

It's just another day in the mad, mad world of fashion. kate spade new york, the eponymous U.S.-based fashion brand is launching "kate spade Saturday," a brand whose name is being disputed by a similarly-coined NYC retailer.
The diffusion line is making its debut in Japan via an online store and a retail location in Tokyo—complete with an American-style café—with plans to have an online presence in Brazil and the U.S. later this spring. (A "sneak peek" at selected items from the new brand was offered on Fab.com through today, February 20.) CEO Craig Leavitt said the brand "saw an opportunity in the market to engage a new customer base—one that aspires to be part of the kate spade new york brand."
The new sub-brand will feature apparel, a beauty line and home decor at a notch below typical kate spade prices, with a target demographic of consumers ages 25 to 35. The price point will be "about 50 percent below" the kate spade brand, and its retail experience promises to thread digital throughout the graphic, pop art-inspired clothes. However, the brand's introduction has not been without some controversy.Continue reading...

A Bathing Ape (also known as BAPE) creator Tomoaki Nagao (who's also known as NIGO®) has linked with Beams creative director Hiroshi Kubo to produce a limited-edition collection of retro-styled Coca-Cola vendor wear.
NIGO®'s newest label, Human Made, is inspired by pre-1960s Americana. He's placed a huge emphasis quality and authenticity while still keeping a whimsical nature to the brand with the addition of lighthearted graphics provided by Sk8thing.
As an avid collector of vintage memorabilia, it's a no brainer that a collaboration with Coca-Cola — ranked currently by Interbrand as the world's best global brand — is a natural fit for both parties. In an interview, NIGO® reveals that he was once a Japan Coca-Cola yo-yo champion back in the '80s and also pulled from his bespoke collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia to inspire this new line.Continue reading...

It hasn't been easy for Air Canada in recent years with plenty of quarterly reports filled with losses. So what's an airline in the red to do? Launch a new sub-brand called "Rouge," of course.
Starting in July, Canadians can start using the new low-cost airline, which will initially fly out of Toronto and Montreal to such destinations as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Costa Rica as well as Venice, Italy; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Athens. Consumers could start buying tickets Tuesday.
Later next year, Rouge plans to add more Canadian cities to fly out of as well as international destinations – and not just the ones that Air Canada flies to. "The creation of this carrier is to assist us in serving many destinations that our existing model does not work on a competitive basis," said Ben Smith, Air Canada's chief commercial officer, to the CBC.
According to Yahoo! Finance, Air Canada plans to hire 200 people for Rouge, but those employees shouldn't expect to be rolling in dough. "Cost savings are expected to come from paying lower wages," the report notes, "and putting more seats in planes in a so-called new 'multi-tier seating' structure." And we're not talking just a few more seats. The CBC hears it could be as much as 20 percent more. Prepare to not only fasten your seatbelts but suck in your gut, Canada.Continue reading...

The Whitney Plantation c.1790, originally known as Habitation Haydel, is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River, on the historic River Road in St. John the Baptist Parish, near Wallace, Louisiana. The Big House is one of the finest surviving examples of Spanish Creole architecture & one of the earliest raised Creole cottages in Louisiana. After the Civil War (1867) the plantation was sold to Bradish Johnson of New York, who named the property after his grandson Harry Payne Whitney.

Beautiful - not really a French home - but still gorgeous!
Rose Hill Plantation, in the Low Country of South Carolina in Beaufort Co., is an exceptional example of antebellum Gothic Revival architecture, c.1858-60. James Brown Kirk gave his daughter Caroline son-in-law Dr. John Kirk the land the mansion presently sits on as a wedding gift in 1838. Construction began on Rose Hill sometime in 1858. The home was most likely constructed by ship builders that parts of the house had actually been pre-built in England shipped over for further assembly.

Stanton Hall, Natchez, Mississippi. This antebellum mansion was built during 1851-1857 for Frederick Stanton, a cotton broker in Natchez. Reportedly, a chartered ship was used to transport the moldings, marble fireplace mantles, wrought ironwork, and other building materials and furnishings to the site from Europe. Stanton Hall serves as a design for Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.

Happy New Year !
Any money I am saving with lower fuel prices is being spent on higher food prices.
The bonus points were only for the month of September. Given that there's less than two hours so far in October, you must be going for the Night Owl app award!
I don't know where the "bonus" points went, either. But then, I not sure what they were for in the first place...

Thinking about a raised bed on slope. Need ideas/help.
He everyone, we tried some simple perennial gardening along a slope (used to be strip of grass) along the walkway of our steps that lead up to our doorway. Because we only have about 3 inches of topsoil and them lovely builders concrete, rubble or whatever, I was thinking about doing raised beds that terraced up the slope. Here are some pictures that may help. It starts from the bottom of the slope and goes up to the top. The last image is rough dimensions.
Something a bit like this:
I was thinking that the best way would be to do a good rot resistant wood. I have heard of cedar and redwood being used. I'm not good at 'design' or 'style' so I'm not sure what styles, if any, are available to make it look nice in this situation. I hope someone can help in that department. I have also heard of stone but that may be too bulky as the width is only 2 to 2.5' across!
I'm NOT good at carpentry etc so I'd be hiring someone to help me out with this! I just want to do the fun part of planting and maintaining the garden!
Any ideas and help would be great!
1st shot is view of the side of the house so you can see if wood would look good here with this retaining wall...
Here is a link that might be useful: Gallery of Photos
The part I would worry the most is where it stops at the sidewalk. If there was some way of putting another course of the stonework across there to stop dirt/debris moving out of the garden onto public space I'd feel happier (if it were mine.)
I don't know if you get snow in winter, or interesting frosts that affect your steps. What impact would having a raised bed there have on your ability to clear snow?
If the mulch stays in one place (apart from the birds helping it to move) then you shouldn't have a lot of runoff or downhilll movement of soil.
You don't say what you plan to plant there. In my own zone I could think of natives that would tolerate that depth of soil, despite the rubble below. And heaps of weeds, too. Not to mention shrubs and herbs.
I'm just thinking that stooping over from the steps to garden could be quite demanding.
I like your wood constructions. And I like that blockwork you have out front even better as a match for your house.
As well as this forum - you could offer the idea on some of the other forums that get more traffic than this one.
PS Love your boulders! They look sort of glacial. Very pretty!

growing lotus from flower arrangement seeds
Has anyone grown a lotus from the seeds you find in the dried lotus pods at craft stores? If so, how did they do for you?
I tried this a few years ago, but when I put the tiny plants out in buckets a raccoon came along and ate them--I guess the remaining seeds attached to the plants were a delicacy or something!
I'd be interested in hearing any experiences you've had with growing lotus from seeds gotten in this way.
I have heard that if you take a file and nick the seed down to the white layer and drop it in a glass of warm water that you replace daily, it should sprout. When you get a few leaves on the sprout, you can carefully sit it in a pot on soil and cover with water and let it root. Haven't done it myself, but it is worth a try. I heard the seeds are viable for many, many years! Good luck!
Thanks, Pat. I actually didn't have a problem starting the seeds a few years ago and did as you advise. I just wondered what kind of plant I might get from seeds from lotus pods bought at Michael's craft store. It's not likely I'll get a dwarf variety--I'll probably get a huge Asian variety :-)
I'm going to try it anyway. I bought 3 pods at Michael's today and have about 15 seeds to 'play' with. I think I love the lotus leaves as much as the flowers.
I have grown lotus plants from seed pods for several years. I always file down the end without the tiny stem sticking out.The end you see when looking at the seed while its still in the pod is the one you should file. I have at least a 80% sprout rate. The problems growing from seeds is that you do not know what you will get as far as variety.I start with distilled water and only change it when it gets cloudy.I usually start them in a sunny window indoors. The water needs to be kept warm. My pods come from a grower so I know what variety they are but I can not know for sure that I have a true plant because of cross pollination. To get a true variety it must come from the tuber of a plant unless strict growing conditions are used and documented..
I thought I would pass along something I read elsewhere. One of the things I had a problem with was rot with arrangement seeds and with purchased seeds. The advice was to soak the seeds in 1 cup warm water with 1 tbsp. of Hydrogen peroxide and to change the water daily. It probably wouldn't hurt to double the peroxide for the first couple of days. I would keep them covered with a dome too since they seem to be very susceptible to many diseases if your growing area is not perfectly cleaned. Seeds recovered from arrangement lotus have sometimes been in storage a long time. Sandy
Thanks for the additional tips. I plan to start a few of my seeds in March. I don't want to start them too soon because I can't put them outside for about 4 more months. But I'm itching to give them a try so I might not be able to withstand the temptation!
I start mine in June and keep them in the pond overwinter and they bloom the next year. I know you're itching to get started but they can be tricky to grow in the small stages indoors. They do great in the pond in the small stages however, as long as you don't have big hungry koi. Then you'd need to fence them off.
About one week ago, I drove to Michael's and bought some lotus pods. I have been soaking them in water for about a week, but just recently put a heater around them. One day after they were heated, all three of them sprouted. Just to be safe, started one more which also sprouted within two days of soaking. I was amazed! I can even see that they have developing leaves. Can't wait to stick 'em outside and try to figure out what type they are.
I did this last year. I started 3 but only 1 survived. It didn't flower yet but it did put out lots of leaves, I don't think any of them were aerials yet. I hoping this year the aerials & flowers will happen.
Wasn't really too hard .... just had problems because I tried to do what others said & start them in their own containers outside the pond. Once I took the last one & put it into a good sized container & placed it in the pond it did much better.
I'll try to let you know what happens this year with it.
Yes, I did elevate it so that the leaves it had floated & weren't submerged.
It was still small, I had lost 2 & was afraid this one would go too so I put it in the pond but raised it so the leaves weren't under the water. I was afraid it would "drown" if I left the leaves under the water.
Lotus come out of dormacy as a tuber when the water temperture is at 72 f or above. The heater was a good idea. I start my Lotus seeds in a warm sunny window indoors. After 2 to 3 leaves I plant them and place in my pond with the leaves floating in April. I am around Houston area. tomsg
Congratulations, BB! I have put off trying to start my seeds until later this spring. It was 7 degrees here just a few days ago (and 70 degrees on Monday, but 35 today!)--PA has very variable winter and spring weather.
If anyone has seeds from smaller lotus (I am sure the seeds from Michael's crafts will grow to be huge plants if they survive), I would love to have a couple!

Feds Postpone Lease Auction In Talladega Forest
Anniston, AL – Next week's auction for drilling rights in the Talladega National Forest is off.
The U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management announced Friday that they would delay the June 14 auction for oil and gas drilling rights to allow more public informational meetings. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell said the agency wants to ensure people have ample input into decisions involving the management of national forests. The service did not say how that would be done or when the auction
Several Alabama officials, including U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers and former Gov. John Patterson, have questioned the auction. Patterson said Friday the Talladega National Forest is ``an Alabama treasurer'' and it shouldn't be opened to drilling without a fight.

5 out of 5 stars
Amazing Breast Aug!!! - Colts Neck, NJ
Dr. Thompson and his staff made my husband and I feel very comfortable during my decision to have a breast augmentation after two children. He made us feel confident with our choices, but, more importantly, educated us on all of our options and made sure we did not leave with any questions unanswered. Every member of the staff is terrific and extremely knowledgable. We know we made the best choice for plastic surgery in Monmouth County and will absolutely refer Dr. Thompson to family and friends to the practice.
5 out of 5 stars Tummy Tuck
Tummy Tuck/Lipo in - Monmouth County, NJ
Dr T was the 3rd dr I interviewed for this procedure. First, he is a genuine, nice person who really cares about his patients and their health as well as how they look. He was very detailed in his questioning of me - he spent a long time TALKING to me before he even examined me. He MADE me quit smoking in order to have this surgery (6 + weeks now!) and everyone in his office and surgery center has been super kind and gentle with me. I would recommend him to anyone.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation - New Jersey
I have done my research viewing photos online comparing silicone to saline to make the best informed decision to prepare myself when meeting with Dr. T

Intensive Aphasia Program
Studies have shown that intensive aphasia treatment results in greater gains compared to non-intensive therapy. Research also indicates that intensive aphasia therapy is beneficial at any stage of recovery – acute, post-acute, or chronic.
The Center's four-week Intensive Aphasia Program provides over 60 hours of intensive individual and group therapy to individuals with mild to severe aphasia.
Each client undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to develop appropriate goals for the program. Participants receive 3 hours of individual therapy and 1 hour of group therapy per day, 4 days per week (Monday-Thursday), over the course of 4 weeks.
Education and support services for family members and caregivers are offered. Eligible participants may enroll in research studies conducted by Northwestern University's Aphasia and Neurolinguistic Research Laboratory. (Participation in studies may happen before or after therapy on some days, and/or on Fridays.)
Enrollment in the Intensive Aphasia Program is limited to ensure the highest degree of care to each client, and to be able to customize every client's program. We do not admit more than 3 intensive clients during any given quarter of treatment.
Dates: The four-week intensive program is offered throughout the year.

Summer Kick-Off 2010
It was a beautiful sunny morning on Saturday at Frontier Park and a great day for our Summer Reading Kick-Off. Around 800 people attended the festivities. Kids, teens and adults got reading folders and learned about our summer programming. Plus there were frog relays, chess games, temporary tattoos, snacks, a duck pond, and lots of fun. It was a great beginning to our "Make a Splash--READ!" summer reading program!  Check out the pictures below.
And if you couldn't make it to the Kick-Off, it's not too late to get a summer reading folder. Just stop by either Olathe library anytime and pick up a folder to keep track of your summer reading. There is still a lot of fun to be had this summer at the library!
Make a Splash--READ!
Are you ready for a summer of fun at the Olathe Public Library? This summer's reading program theme is Make a Splash--READ!  We'll offer programs about things to do in the water, things to do with water, things that live in the water, and more.  There will be puppet shows, fun games, crafts programs, book discussions, storytimes, movies, Spanish classes, science experiments, and more fun than you shake a wet fish at.  Old favorites like Find Fido Friday, Read to a Dog, and our summer drawing contest will be back again.  And of course, we will be distributing summer reading folders all summer long for kids to keep track of all books they read this summer.  Return your folder in August before school starts and receive a free paperback book to keep!Â
All the fun will begin with our Summer Kick-Off at Frontier Park on Saturday, May 22 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, and our activities wrap up with our Summer Finale featuring ventriloquist/illusionist Kevin Horner on Saturday, August 21 at 10:30 a.m. at Scarborough Elementary. For more information about all of the events happening in the Children's Department this summer, click here. You may also pick up a flyer listing all of our summer programs at either Olathe library.

Facing my fears
I spent two days at the previous caravan site in Haro and it snowed almost all the time. My estimate is that it put down a metre or two of snow but luckily there were short intervals when the clouds cleared and a very warm sun came out and melted much of the snow before the next downpour. It was bitterly cold and I was forced to put the large cover on the front of the motorhome in an attempt to keep the van warm. Once again it was a massive struggle because ...

Invasive Pest Update
The Spotted Lanternfly, a New Insect Pest Detected in Pennsylvania
The spotted lanternfly is native to China, India, Japan, and Vietnam and has been detected for the first time in the United States in northeastern Berks County, Pennsylvania. The spotted lanternfly (SLF), Lycorma delicatula, (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) was unintentionally introduced into Korea in 2006 where it is a pest. This approximately one inch long insect with piercing-sucking mouthparts has the potential to impact the green industry, grape growers, tree fruit growers, and the forest- and wood-products industries in Pennsylvania as well as the United States. Click here to read the full story.
Here's how to help STOP THE SPREAD of insect pests:
> Leave firewood at home–do not transport it to campgrounds or parks.
> Use only firewood from local sources. "Local" means from less than 50 miles. Firewood is commonly available at or near most campgrounds. It's a small price to pay to save the trees in your favorite campground.
> If you have moved firewood, burn ALL of it before leaving your campsite. Do not carry firewood from one campground to another.

"After several hours of waiting and multiple interrogations our two friends were permitted entry and my daughter and I were informed that we were denied entry after much discussion indirectly with the interior ministry."Chomsky said the border officials were "very polite" as they "transmitted inquiries from the [Israeli] ministry of the interior". He said that he believed he was denied entry was for two reasons. "The government does not like the kind of things I say which puts them into the category of every other government in the world," he said.
"The second was that they seemed upset about the fact that I was taking an invitation from Birzeit and I had no plans of speaking to any Israeli universities as I've done many times in the past, but not this time."'Misunderstanding'However, a spokeswoman at the Israeli interior ministry, which controls the country's borders, said Chomsky had not been allowed to cross the border due to misunderstanding.She said officials were trying to get clearance from the Israeli military, which controls access to the West Bank to allow Chomsky to enter.
"We are trying to contact the military to clear things up and if they have no objection we see no reason why he should not be allowed in," Sabine Hadad told the Reuters news agency.
Mustafa Barghouti, a Palestinian MP who had invited Chomsky to speak at the university's philosophy department, said the scholar had been detained at the border for five hours.
"This act shows the nature of the Israeli government that is against freedom of speech, particularly from such a noted international figure like Chomsky," Barghouti said.
Chomsky, 81, is a professor of linguistics at the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has frequently spoken out against Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.
