OnStar vs Bluetooth
When we got our XTS, we declined OnStars "minutes." Our cell plan gives us more minutes we will ever use and no roaming charges. We are grandfathered in an old AT&T plan. Will this effect in any way our use of OnStar? I wrote them (OnStar) and only got an advert. to buy minutes.
No, it will not impact your onstar in any way. You just won't be able to make a phone call from your car in the event you forget your mobile phone. I always purchase them, but in fact have never used any of the minutes.

Re: OnStar vs Bluetooth
Onstar comes in handy when you forget your phone or the battery is dead. I ordered extra minutes last August when I got my Xts and Iam trying to use them up.
Re: OnStar vs Bluetooth
the minutes offer is cheap on the initial onstar orientation call, they last a year and are good when you forget your phone, your phone dies, or when you drive out of your networks calling area (this is where cell phone based vehicle telematics like ford touch or kia UVO fall down). also the in car phone has a higher wattage than a cell phone (6 vs .5 these are mandated limits) so the cars phone can reach farther, onstar has carrier agreements with pretty much every cell provider so no calling area problems (they built in this robustness because they didn't want the system to let you down when you need it most, especially the automatic crash response if your unable to communicate). i have 299 minutes left after my wife used it once to call me when she was having an issue with her iphone.

st: Residual diagnostics for panel data regression
Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:34:15 +0100
Dear Statalisters
I would like to run diagnostic tests on residuals from a panel data model - in particular normality, serial correlation and heteroskedasticity.
For normality, -iqr- and -swilk- seemed to work, but the -wntestq- Portmanteau test for serial correlation and the -hettest- White heteroskedasticity test did not (because the sample includes multiple panels).
Could anyone tell me whether there are any post-estimation commands which would allow me to run similar tests on residuals from panel data models?
Thank you.

Project DescriptionWhen tasked with designing a staircase for a Manhattan townhouse, New York firm Dean/Wolf Architects eschewed typical wood and drywall for laser-cut and bent stainless steel. The design was limited by the available materials—stainless comes standard in 4-foot-by-12-foot sheets, and the brake press needed to bend the steel could only accommodate a 12-foot-wide piece of material. The solution was to limit the height of the structural members—which had to support two flights of stairs—to no more than 24 feet, or two of the 12-foot pieces, thereby limiting the number of joints.
Each piece—whether vertical support or horizontal tread—was first cut on a CNC laser-cutting machine to achieve a custom profile. The pieces were then bent on a brake press and joined for a zero-tolerance fitting in the fabrication shop. A custom joint was fabricated to extend the height of the vertical structure members, and Dean/Wolf spaced the joints so that each is located just below a tread on the upper flight of stairs, to impart a certain logic to the disruption. The vertical members were hung from the top-floor ceiling, under a skylight, and the treads were slipped into pre-cut notches in the vertical members and then fastened into place.
The jury reviewed numerous folded-metal assemblies and decided to award one "best-in-show" prize to represent that technology. In describing Dynamic Descent, juror Lauren Crahan said: "I think it's a very successful project, and it's documented really well." Craig Hodgetts agreed, and remarked: "It takes the tension stair that one extra step, and transforms it."

Doggone Rintintin
From Betsy Kepes, part of the NCPR book club team and a regular book reviewer for the station:
I wouldn't say I'm a "dog person," though I like dogs and have fond memories of Frodo, the long-haired mutt that was a part of my growing up. (My father and older brother, age 8, were reading aloud The Lord of the Rings at the time we traveled out to the farm where a litter of puppies needed homes). When Susan Orleans' book, Rintintin, made the list for my book group, I looked forward to reading it. I liked her novel The Orchid Thief and a book about a famous dog sounded like fun.
It wasn't.
Susan Orleans spent years researching the man who found the first Rintintin during WWI, a dog-loving American soldier who discovered a German shepherd bitch and her litter of puppies in a bombed-out kennel in Germany. He kept two of the puppies and named them Nanette and Rintintin. The real Nanette died but a fake Nanette was later put on screen as Rintintin's "wife." The finding of Rintintin was interesting, but it was only part of a chapter. As I plodded through the book I realized that this was a dog book that wasn't really about a dog, not like The Call of the Wild or Old Yeller, both books that have caused me to run and get a box of Kleenex. Rintintin is a book about the idea of a dog and I'm not quite old enough to remember the Rin Tin Tin TV show, so it was just an idea for me, no visuals at all.
I do remember watching the Lassie TV show and to this day the sight of a collie makes me smile and start humming Greensleeves, the old English melody that was the theme song for the series. Because of Lassie, collies have always seemed the most noble breed of dogs to me.
German Shepherds scared me when I was a kid –they were big and barked and policemen walked with them—so maybe I wasn't the target audience for Orleans' Rintintin. Still, it was disappointing to read a dog book that left me cold. I mean I've liked all the others, from A Hundred and One Dalmatians to The Incredible Journey to an old series of dog books that I checked out of the Colton library. I don't remember the titles or the author but I read them aloud to my oldest son when he was about six years old. They took place in the Rockies and near the end of each book—when the heroic dog wandered off into the mountains to die in a high cave—there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
I think I've learned something though. I like to read dog stories but not biographies about dogs. And I'm curious about other readers out there. What classic, or new, dog stories have I missed?
Sorry to say that the part you liked is probably not true. The story of Rin-Tin-Tin's birth on a battlefield in September of 1918 very likely is myth. The first story that Duncan told (in October, 1919, to the Los Angeles Times) — and that three officers of his squadron told — goes like this: Duncan and his mates found an adult German shepherd male on the battlefield, and Rin-Tin-Tin was one of a litter born to him and a female German shepherd. That means he was born around the time of the Armistice. Evidence shows that story to be the true one. In a photograph taken after the 135th Aero Squadron arrived back in the United States in May, 1919, Duncan sits on the ground with Rin-Tin-Tin in his arms; next to him is another man with Nanette, Rin-Tin-Tin's sister. Rin-Tin-Tin's ears are floppy; Nanette's stand straight up. German shepherd puppies' ears start to stand up when they are five or six months old. (That's also the age the puppies appear to be, not the nine months they would have been had they been born in September.)
See my book, Rin-Tin-Tin: The Movie Star, available on Amazon. (But maybe you want to stick to fiction.)
http://www.amazon.com/Rin-Tin-Tin-Movie-Star-Ann-Elwood/dp/1453866655 (paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/Rin-Tin-Tin-The-Movie-Star-ebook/dp/B004FN29GG (ebook)
Once again poor ann Elwood tries to mislead people about the accurate history of RIN TIN TIN. One galring fact she contines to incorrectly spew is that a German Shepherd Dogs ears do not stand until they are 5 months old – that is simply NOT TRUE. Bless her heart, she wants her version of history to be correct so bably that she continuously distorts the actual facts.
I have two German Shepard sisters who moved in with me when they were about 6 weeks old and their ears were erect from the first day they began living with me.

Having endured some very obnoxious, horrible tenants living in the suite below me, I am now very aware of every noise I hear. I date someone who lives in a townhouse, and he has noisy neighbours now as well - they blast their stero on the weekends. Of course, it bugs me when I am there. I already had a run in with his neighbours about it.
What is your noise level tolerance? I am afraid mine is not very high. I wince at the least bit of noise and have to hold myself back from saying anything to the person causing the noise. One of these days someone might just "let me have it" for snapping at them.

The Screen: Bob Dylan and Company; 'Don't Look Back' at 34th Street East At Other Theaters: A New Spy Picture
By DONAL J. HENAHAN ();
September 07, 1967,
, Section , Page 50, Column , words
IT will be a good joke on us all if, in 50 years or so, Dylan is regarded as a significant figure in English poetry. Not Mr. Thomas, the late Welsh bard, but Bob, the guitar-picking American balladeer. One step toward the latter's canonization has been taken, in fact, in a fulllength documentary, "Don't Look Back," now at the 34th Street East Theater.

Did my dermatologist improperly advise me on removal of a cyst, where is there now a deep depression?
A rubbery lump (below the armpit, near my chest) ruptured from weekly shirt friction. A hard interior ejected, then it healed. The lump returned in 10 months, threatening to rupture again. A dermatologist saw underlying scar tissue - said surgery would remove this, some outer skin as well as the lump. She did not advise how big the incision would be and taped the wound with my arm raised. Lab results reported a cyst, but now I am DEFORMED! Should she have referred me to a cosmetic surgeon?
Doctor Answers 2
Cyst removal
Cyst removals that are complicated may require revision surgery. Discuss your concerns and your findings with your surgeon to discuss possible revision treatments. Cysts occupy space and may result in a volume deficit if removed.
Web reference: http://karemd.com/cosmetic-dermatology/11/scar-treatment.aspx
Depressed Scar
It appears that your wound or incision is relatively recent and there is swelling in the area. Allow at least 3 months or more for all of the edema to resolve before you can evaluate the final appearance. It may take one year.
Consult your doctor and be patient but if necessary get a second opinion.

Canton launches new website
The town of Canton recently launched a new and improved website thanks to grant money for improving economic development in the town.
The website was just one small project funded by a $100,000 grant from the N.C. Rural Center's Small Town Economic Prosperity program (NCSTEP) which the town received in 2010. The purpose of the grant is to encourage growth and prosperity in town, with an emphasis on the downtown business district.
Although the local leadership team, called STEPUP Canton, has developed several projects, the grant is set to expire July 1, and there is still plenty of money left to use.
A fresh, new website was a top priority for the group from the beginning. It was also at the forefront of campaign promises when all four aldermen and Mayor Mike Ray ran for their seats on the board in 2011.
The previous board already approved STEPUP Canton to allocate $30,000 to a new website. Despite tossing around the idea to allow a Haywood Community College class develop the site for free, the board decided the best decision for the town would be to hire a professional company for the job using the grant money.
It's been about a year in the making, but the new site at www.cantonnc.com was launched last week. It's sleek, easier to navigate and focuses on attracting visitors and providing useful information for residents, said Town Clerk Jason Burrell.
STEPUP Canton hired Top Floor Studios, a website developing company in Asheville, to design the website from scratch.
The final cost of the project was about $28,500, which includes the first year's hosting service fee with the company. Because the town paid for the previous hosting cost for the old website, Burrell said they would also pick up the tab for the new one.
Rather than "static" and general town information, as Burrell put it, the new website offers a more interactive online environment. Not only is there more information for residents and potential residents, there is also a business directory that allows Canton storeowners to update their own profile and pictures, thereby enhancing their marketability.
Having an aesthetically pleasing website is important because it's the first thing people see when researching the town, Burrell said. Compared to the previous site, he believes the new one will give Canton a better image from the beginning for those wishing to live or work there.
"It's dramatically better than what we had — I think anybody will agree with that," Burrell said. "It displays the characteristics that the people of Canton pride themselves on. We wanted to show that our community, town and organizations are progressive."
Other projects
A new website is not the only project STEPUP Canton has allocated grant money for.
Another large chunk of funds, about $30,000, has been dedicated to an ongoing façade grant program for local business owners to spruce up the exterior of street front buildings.
After filling out an application form and approval from the town, the grant will reimburse business owners up to $5,000 or 50 percent of exterior remodeling costs.
It can be used to fund projects such as cleaning brick, masonry, painting, installing new awnings and historic reconstruction, just to name a few.
So far, only two businesses have taken advantage of the money — Haynes Ceramic replaced their glass windows and the small plaza near Canton Middle School had some brick work done.
It's a project that Canton Alderman and STEPUP Canton member Patrick Willis hopes will continue to make stores more inviting for patrons and to attract other businesses.
"One of the challenges in Canton is the old infrastructure and we wanted to help business owners to fix up the buildings which would eventually entice other businesses to come. Nobody wants to set up a business in an old dilapidated building," Willis said.
The organization is not sure whether the money set aside for the façade grant will be able to continue after the NCSTEP grant expires in six months, so interested business owners should act fast, Burrell said.
Another initial project the program hoped to accomplish was creating a business association, for which they allocated about $5,000. Last year, active business owners in the community came together to build their own business association separate from STEPUP Canton.
"The business association has been successful in building a relationship with the community college, which is hosting business related training courses. We're looking for other projects that could supplement those classes," Burrell said.
Because the program did not need to use the money to form an association, he says they are considering giving the group money to create an official nonprofit 501c3.
"Currently it's just interested people taking the reins and they don't have any seed money to go along with their initiative," Burrell said.
Willis said the group has also talked about using another bulk of the money for marketing projects, such as making brochures and pamphlets about the town to distribute to surrounding counties and chambers of commerce.
More than anything, the purpose of the grant money is to create a more economically viable community.
"We are trying to make sure the funds are spent the way they are supposed to be spent. It has to be geared toward enhancing current businesses or attracting new business to the town," Willis said.

About Henry M. Teller, U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Interior
Henry Moore Teller (May 23, 1830 – February 23, 1914) was a U.S. politician, a US senator, and served as Secretary of the Interior between 1882 and 1885.
Teller served in the Senate and Cabinet for over thirty years, and was connected with the Free Silver question, beginning in 1880. During that time, he did much in and out of Congress with tongue and pen. In 1892, he was instrumental in securing in the Republican National Convention a declaration in favor of bimetallism, and he was a conspicuous actor in the prolonged fight in the senate against unconditional repeal. His standing in the Republican Party, together with his great ability and high character, made him the leader of the Silver Republican Party.
At the Republican National Convention of 1896 in St. Louis, Teller led the revolt against the Republican platform, and his withdrawal from the party that year cost the Republican candidate thousands of votes. The silver Republicans favored his nomination for the Presidency, and his state of Colorado voted for him on the first ballot in the Democratic Convention. After the nomination had been made, he joined with other leading Silver Republicans in an address supporting the Democratic ticket. Unlike many other Silver Republicans, Teller never returned to the Republican Party.
He served as a Democratic senator for the rest of his career, becoming one of few politicians to switch parties. Teller helped the Democratic Party gain more power in Colorado, which was previously dominated by Republicans.
Historically, Teller is probably best known for sponsoring an amendment to the Joint Resolution for war with Spain, passed by the House and Senate on April 19, 1898.
Teller died February 23, 1914, and is buried at Fairmount Cemetery in Denver, CO.
Teller and Indian Rights
Teller was one of the most outspoken opponents of the allotment of Indian land. Allotment was a process by which communal ownership of Indian lands would be ended, and the land portioned out to individual Indians, the "excess" to be sold to the government. In 1881, Teller said that allotment was a policy "to despoil the Indians of their lands and to make them vagabonds on the face of the earth." Teller also said,
"the real aim [of allotment] was "to get at the Indian lands and open them up to settlement. The provisions for the apparent benefit of the Indians are but the pretext to get at his lands and occupy them....If this were done in the name of Greed, it would be bad enough; but to do it in the name of Humanity...is infinitely worse."
Teller would be proven correct. Land owned by Indians decreased from 138 million acres (560,000 km2) in 1887 to 48 million acres (190,000 km2) in 1934.
Teller's defense of Indian land rights conflicts with his stance on traditional American Indian customs. As Secretary of the Interior in 1883, he approved a "Code of Indian Offenses," which sought to prohibit Native American traditional ceremonial activity throughout the United States. Customs, dances, plural marriage, and other practices were to be prosecuted by a "Court of Indian Offenses," with authority to impose penalties of up to 90 days imprisonment and withholding government rations. The clear intent of the Code was to eliminate traditional Indian culture on reservations. The Five Civilized Tribes were exempt from the code.

Upstream capital costs for oil and gas facilities rose 2.3% in the six months ending March 31. That brings capital spending costs for 2012 to over $640 billion.
Operational costs rose by just over 2% for the same period. That brings operational costs for the year to $500 billion, surpassing the previous high set in 2008.
Pritesh Patel is a senior director at IHS CERA.
"Within that six month period, you were seeing anywhere between a 6% to 10% increase in day rates for rigs. You saw continued increase in the cost of regular equipment — pumps, compressors, turbines, as well as subsea specialized equipment. And compounding all of that, you've got increased labor costs, engineering, project management as well, which were adding onto that escalation."
Patel says the fall in oil prices during the second quarter has relieved some pressure on the cost of oilfield equipment. But he says day rates for offshore rigs are continuing to climb.

The last time my wife's card was used at a WalMart in Glen Allen, VA and they caught it and replaced the card. This time they caught it but are still letting charges go through in Waynesboro, GA. According to them the gas station where this card was fraudulantly used only sent tthrough a $1 charge, but yet they are holding 2 charges- one of $75, and 1 for $74.40 for gasoline! What kind of car was being filled? An SUV? at $4 a gallon, this is 37 gallons, but yet they let it go through, there was also charges from a McDonalds, a Sonic and so forth all within about 15 minutes of each other. They supposedly stopped the card and cancelled it, but low and behold 12 hours later they are stil letting charges thru.

I would stay with 9mm.
This is a discussion on In the event of a "high-capacity" magazine ban, would you switch calibers? within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Hi, everybody, so this question has been bugging me for several days. We've all heard talk about how Obama is trying to limit legal magazine ...
Hi, everybody, so this question has been bugging me for several days.
We've all heard talk about how Obama is trying to limit legal magazine capacity to 10 rounds or so. For the sake of argument, let's say that happens and it becomes illegal to carry guns with more than a 10-round magazine.
In this event, would you exchange your primary caliber? (This isn't another argument of small vs. large calibers, just a discussion of whether you'd pick a different one if there was a legal limit.)
For me, both of the handguns I'm currently interested in (Walther PPS, S&W M&P Shield) have a low magazine capacity anyway, so such a ban wouldn't affect my choice of caliber. Thoughts or opinions?
I would stay with 9mm.
"Ideals are peaceful. History is violent."
Don Collier, Fury
I carry a 380 or 45, both have under 10 round magazines.
Be safe!
NEVER point a gun at something you are not prepared to destroy!
AND for GODS sake, get your finger off the trigger until you are ready to squeeze the trigger!
If it effects us in my state which i doubt then im going back to old school. .357 probably sp101 bug 38spl 12 ga pump 22 lr 243 hunting rifle and 357 lever action rifle to enhance the sp101 ammo. None bought new or from a shop. All the ammo I can get for each as I can afford it before theres some check on it. Cant fight a war with those but I can deal with about anything from heavy duty SD to puttin meat on the table with just those. I wouldnt rule out a 45 either unless they go to 7 rd mag limits like NY.
That is all worst case scenario which I doubt we will see.
No, 15 round magazines make my shirt look like I have a boomerang in my pocket.
I don't always have nothing to say, but when I do, I post it on Facebook.
If I had a .223 rifle and a full size 9mm as my primary home defense and carry weapon(s), I would definitely switch it up. I don't care about people who love the 5.56 (McChrystal) or people who dislike it (glockman), because arguments can be made in either case. I don't care about politics, or anything else for that matter, because the best argument for the 5.56 m16/m4 is that the average infantryman can roll outside the wire with 300+ rounds on him. Same logic applies to the 9mm. You can carry a bunch of ammo when weight becomes a factor.
If 10 (maximum) round magazines become all that is legal, then I would be looking at full size 1911, smith and wesson 686+, and m1a to replace the aforementioned weapons for home defense if I was really looking to get a good amount of bang for my buck. If you are carrying a glock 26 or a s&w shield, it won't matter. If you like the .223 round because of the reduced risk of over penetration because you have children in your house, then it won't really matter, but otherwise, you might as well step up the caliber.
Reason i picked what I did above is this. If the gubment gets by with this, Lord only knows where they will go next. Economy is already in the toilet and talk of the government being defunded while the politicos wage war over ideals gives me the willies about the whole mess collapsing of its own weight.
If that happens I cant see 357 being a primary gun grab target nor shotguns or the 22lr. 243 maybe later on but its primarily thought of as a hunting round. So suppose at some point everything takes a header into a deep hole.
I want to be able to defend my family and feed them and be able to hold onto what we have from anyone that wants to take it like say ehhh food?? I can hunt with that collection. Sd with it. Gather up a lot of ammo for it and store it. Defend my home with it. And likely those calibers in revolver and rifle wont have had time to have become high priority for the gun snatchers. Plus all of em are tough low maintenance weapons. I dont mean to sound like a survivalist here but if somethings go like I think they wont then I will start thinking in those terms.
its this particular concern that has me pondering my first 1911 acquisition..
No way for me to provide a link to my source, but a local radio station today they listed the 19 recommendations of the Ben Biden task force. The recommendation on magazines was a max of seven rounds. That puts a crimp in my style, all of my auto loaders come with ten round or more magazines with the exception of my mouse guns, and my S&W Night Guard .357 8 shot, but they didn't mention a 8 round cylinder. LOL
I think this is going to cause a huge rift between pro gun states and the Feds,I'm not worried about it in Texas
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I'd go back to my 1911s and Winchester 94s.
"The pistol, learn it well, carry it always ..." ~ Jeff Cooper
"Terrorists: They hated you yesterday, they hate you today, and they will hate you tomorrow.
End the cycle of hatred, dont give them a tomorrow."
If it goes beneath 7rds ill just get a revolver chambered in .357mag or a Shield in .40 s&w.
I'd buy myself a shiny new 1911, but I would never turn in or sell my other "killer hi cap mags" I might not carry them for SD, but they would stay in my lock box in case I ever needed them.
That is an interesting question which quite frankly never occurred to me. Not trying to be difficult here but let me see... so someone illegitimetely tramples all over my rights and I'm suppose to pitch my caliber of choice along with all ammo and retool at significant expense to comply with a bunch of petty tyrants? I guess I'll have to respectfully decline.
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations James Madison 1788

You might need an online companion to catch all the swirling allusions to The Lawnmower Man, surrealism, The Red Shoes and too much more in the new video for Zach Hill's psychedelic tune "Second Life." You also might need some acid or Advil, depending on your head-trip.
Directed by Christian "Megazord" Oldham, acclaimed drummer and visual artist Hill's "Second Life" is a sensory overload. Featuring additional vocals from freak folkie Devendra Banhart, the wandering song's spiraling digitalism is perfectly complemented by Megazord's disorienting select-all graphics.
It's a challenging experiment that's perfectly in line with what listeners have come to expect from the well-traveled Hill in his previous solo work and on his latest full-length effort, Face Tat, which arrived last month with help from collaborators like the stunning No Age.
Hill's thunderous self-taught drum skills have been put to terrific use by a roll call of respected artists, including Alan Moore, The Mars Volta's Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Deftones' Chino Moreno, guitar wiz Marnie Stern and Goblin Cock's Rob Crow. Screen the reel above and let us know in the comments below if the imagery tickled or tortured your lobes.

Difford's Encyclopedia of Cocktails by Simon Difford, includes information like Cocktail History and Angostura Bitters and cocktail recipes like East India, The Lady Wears Red, Navy Grog, Negroni, and Pisco Sour.
by Simon Difford
"Let us drink for the replenishment of our strength, not for our sorrow."—Cicero
1806. The word "cocktail" appeared in print in a New York newspaper. After a reader wrote in and asked for an explanation of the term, the following was published: "Cock tail then is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters, it is vulgarly called a bittered sling, and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said also, to be of great use to a democratic candidate because a person having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else."
1858. Leon Lamonthe claimed he created the Sazerac in the Sazerac Coffee House, New Orleans. The original recipe was probably made with Paychaud's aromatic bitters, Sazerac cognac, and sugar. Today the name Sazerac is owned by the Sazerac Company, who license the name to the Sazerac Bar in the Fairmont Hotel.
1880(s). The first Martini recipe was recorded. Initially, Martinis would have been quite sweet—developing from the Martinez with Old Tom gin and sweet vermouth. The first dry Martini probably came in with the emergence of London dry gin some years later.
1894. The Rob Roy was created at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York, and named after a Broadway show playing at the time.
1900. A Captain during the Spanish-American War ordered a Bacardi Rum and Coca-Cola with a squeeze of lime in the American Bar in Havana, Cuba. The drink was named the Cuba Libre after a toast to "Free Cuba."
1920 (or 1921). Fernand Petiot created the Bloody Mary at Harry's New York Bar Paris. The name most likely comes from one of Petiot's customers, the entertainer Roy Barton. He had worked at a nightclub called the Bucket of Blood where there was a waitress known as Bloody Mary. Apparently the drink reminded him of her. The celery garnish dates back to the 1960's when a bartender at the Ambassador Hotel in Chicago noticed a lady stirring her drink with a celery stick.
1945. Giuseppe Cipriani created the Bellini at Harry's Bar, Venice. Cipriani named the drink after the 15th century painter Giovanni Bellini due to the drink's pink hue and the painter's penchant for using rich pinks on his canvasses.
1954. Ramon Marrero Perez claimed he created the Pina Colada at the Caribe Hilton's Beachcomber Bar San Juan. The Caribe was the first luxury hotel in San Juan and became a popular destination for the rich and famous who helped the drink gain notoriety. The name literally translates as "strained pineapple."
1986. T.G.I. Fridays hosted the very first known flair bartender contest called Bar Olympics for T.G.I. Friday bartenders. John JB Bandy won and went on to train Tom Cruise for his role in "Cocktail," which was released in 1986.
2007. Flair bartenders, The Bar Wizards, reached the final of ITV's "Britain's Got Talent." They lost to a seven-year-old girl and an opera singing Welshman. Shame.

Its Bearly About bears
The donation box for the 'Bearly About' sculpture at the Lake Oswego Public Library in First Addition has been converted into a thank-you box.
'Hooray! Artist Steve Tyree has donated the bears,' says a sign above the thank-you box.
Last week, the Lawrence Gallery in Southwest Portland announced Tyree, a sculptor, will give the sculpture to the city at a price far below the asking price of $12,400. He will sell it for about $2,000.
The bronze sculpture, an adult bear and two cubs, was installed at the library on July 10.
The sculpture was one of 20 in the 2007 Gallery Without Walls program, the outdoor sculpture program administered by the Lake Oswego Foundation for the Arts. Each piece in the gallery is on loan for two years, culminating in a community vote, called the People's Choice Award, for the sculpture that the city will purchase to add to its permanent collection.
The next People's Choice Award is scheduled for April, and the winner will be announced in May.
But the 'Bearly About' sculpture was such a hit that library patrons, primarily children, began a collection box at the library to commit funds to ensure the purchase - with or without a nod from the voting public.
An anonymous donor kicked-off the fundraising effort with a pledge of $1,200 toward the purchase of the sculpture. Other donations have pushed the total amount to more than $2,000.
Tyree, who attended the opening of the 2007 Gallery Without Walls, said 'the spirit of the children starting the change box touched me deeply. Through their love of the sculpture, they were moved to accomplish something great.'
'The city is extremely grateful for Mr. Tyree's generous gesture,' said Ellie McPeak, Lake Oswego City Council president. 'I was pleased that citizens were captivated with the sculpture and had made amazing grassroots progress toward its purchase. Having the artist follow through with this kindness is very moving.'
Tyree was born in Modesto, Calif., and began to sculpt in 1974. According to Tyree, his goal in creating 'Bearly About' was to 'take people to the times they have seen bears and to that excitement for these great creatures.'
The notes in the thank-you box are from art lovers of all ages. One note simply says 'Thank you. Annie.'

Howcome the video quality is weird?
I've been having trouble lately when watching episodes from series like last exile fam and Eureka Ao.
I get colour splashes at times and sometimes some grids too. It's not too unwatchable as the vid is playing fine, but the colour just can't run properly. I'm not a computer expert so I've no idea what's going on.
any help is appreciated. thanks!
Have you checked the CRC to see if the file is not corrupt?
Have you updated your codecs?
What video player softwares are you using right now? I seemed to have encountered such problems in the past but I manage to play them using KMplayer and it solved my problems. If it doesn't work just redownload again.
I didn't realise my codec version needs update. Just got it and it works!
thanks for the help!

text: Does anyone have experience with this extractor and intermediate (6 1/4) frames? It appears the inside (bottom) of the frame is so close to the middle of the extractor there would be very little centrifugal force to spin the honey out. I am thinking of purchasing an extractor and I use about 50% intermediate frames. The rest are shallows. Thanks.

Intel initially launched its Classmate PC in the same vein as the One Laptop Per Child campaign's XO, namely a low-cost low-spec machine intended for developing countries. The two schemes, however, have somewhat parted ways recently. First Intel pulled its support for the XO amid some controversy and now the Classmate is apparently set to be available throughout the US and Europe in retail stores.
In actual fact the word, according to Reuters' sources, is that an as-yet-unveiled second generation version of the Classmate would be making its way into budding consumers' hands. Current pricing speculation seems to put the system at around $250 to $350 (£130 - £280) - a pretty flexible range suggesting that nothing is set in stone yet.
Realistically, though, the new Classmate would probably fall into the same price-range as Asus' Eee PC. Specs of the current Classmate and its successor are still kept under wraps, so there's no knowing how close a rival to the Eee the forthcoming retail Classmate will be. That said, both run custom Linux operating systems with the option of also installing Windows, so the similarities are there.
Quite how this move will play out is hard to predict, but Intel certainly has the brand awareness needed to make the venture succeed. Whether that will be enough to win over buyers remains to be seen.

Katz's Deli Gets Artsy
Want a side of art with that pastrami on rye? You're in luck. As part of celebrations for the iconic Lower East Side deli's 125th birthday, Katz's Deli commissioned the space next door to their restaurant to use as a pop-up gallery.
The Space at Katz's, as the gallery is dubbed, merges the old and new Lower East Sides, exhibiting deli-inspired artwork. The pop-up opened on October 22, and will be open to the public until February, cycling in new work every month.
The initial offerings at the space includes a wall-sized scrawl by fashion designer and artist Baron Von Fancy which reads "I'll have what she's having," the quip from the famous scene set in Katz's in "When Harry Met Sally." Artist Hanksy, famous for his street art-style spins off of celebrity culture, contributed a portrait of comedian Will Ferrell in a cat costume dubbed "Will Feral Katz." The show also includes several pieces by Studio Hyp-Inc made from carefully broken vinyl records in the shape of sandwiches.
Along with the rotating art, The Space serves as a store for Katz's merchandise. Every month, a different designer will riff on the Katz's deli standards to produce t-shirts, baseball caps, and event specialized sneakers. New York City-based designer Alife is The Space's initial collaborator, offering Katz's caps and t-shirts inspired by one of the deli's slogans, "Send a salami to your boy in the army."
The current exhibit at the The Space, at 203 East Houston Street, runs until November 24.

Where I stayed
Well, after a late night bag packing potential fiasco, which did end up resulting in a bloodshot droopy-eyed look this morning, that in my defense I have to say I carried off rather well! I eventually arrived at the airport with family in toe, to part ways with them in a way that was very smooth and highly dignified; paying tribute I guess to that sense of British stiff upper lip our clan is so often known for. So now wandering the airport in desperate need of some sustenance and finding very little in choice to fill that void. I had no choice but to resort to that capitalistic corporate beast machine known as Starbucks. (To all who know me, there really wasn't anything I could do) Anyway, onward to the plane and sitting down in my seat, I'd love to tell you that I look ahead in front of me, seeing future adventures and the wondrous experiences that were about to unfold over the next few months! But all I got to see sat there in economy class, was the very summit of a rather huge balding head, belonging to someone I figure to be in between 50-60 years old at a push
So I arrive in Delhi 1:30am, ignoring my first piece of advice given, which was to get a taxi to my hotel from the stand in the airport. Instead I opted for cheap and went from a taxi stand outside. Inside the taxi it was the usual jovial chit chat one would expect from a taxi driver to their customer! And based on his manner, Delhi seemed to be on the up. On the way there my driver claimed he had problems finding the place. So by `chance' (fake throat clearance) we `stumbled' upon, a late night tourist information bureau that was still open. Stepping inside, we entered a room that was reminiscent of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun's underground war bunker! I expected to see, morse code machines, layout maps and hear radio transmissions with the sounds of a nations last stand to try and secure victory. Alas it was not to be! Instead I got India's answer to Derek Trotter and some extremely laid back gentlemen in the background, who looked as though they belonged as TV extras in some sort of hip and retro Cobra beer commercial, taking it all in their stride. "Welcome to India" were the exact words uttered about my situation by one of them. Keen to assist; a phone call was made (which on hindsight I now know was bogus, as the guy I spoke to was clearly a mate of his in on the scam) Claiming that due to the recent Hyderabad blast, my hotel like many that night apparently, was on strike due to Delhi being on red alert, so I could not be taken in for the night. "S_ _ T" They also asked me lots of irrelevant questions about my stay in India, which being repeated three times each, headed towards creepy and seemed as though if they wanted to make sure no one would come looking for me if they disposed of the body.
So Derek T decides he's going to `help' me by giving me a new package, that included a better way to travel around India. In short! This new help me package was going to cost me just over two grand. I f_ _ k it not sir! So Jedi that I am, I used my powers of the force and intuition prevailed. I decided that it was back to the airport for me to rethink an emergency strategy. As I left the war bunker, another taxi driver approached me, in pitch black Delhi, now 3:30am in the morning, with positive news of shelter for the night. He wasn't outright about it! But I think he took pity on me and saw that I was almost potentially taken for a ride. Ended up in another late night tourist information bureau with him, "God, these places are open late aren't they?!" These guys were really cool though! They explained to me it was a con attempt and agencies like themselves and the government are trying their best to clamp down on them. With a wealth of what has now proven to be honest advice and with what appeared to be no strings attached, I was given quite luxury accommodation for 12pounds a night, which I paid the hotel. The driver took me to the hotel and I was so chuffed with all his help, I decided to give him 300 Rupees. He in fact gave me 200 back, claiming it was too much. What a gent! Must have turned in finally 6am Indian time. Pissed off, tired, hungry and nervy also, I hit the hay determined to remain positive over quite a cruel and unlucky first hurdle. All that aside. I was here. In the end it's like the man said I suppose "Welcome to India" lol
Heaven only knows what day 2 is going to bring.
2. CHECK YOUR HOTEL BILLING SLIP AND MAKE SURE THERE IS A NUMBER NEXT TO THE HOTEL ADDRESS. I just assumed, not realising until to late that only the address was there, which would have saved me a lot of stress and heart burn.
Gave myself about five hours kip as I was quick to rectify the result of last nights shenanigans. Got myself a driver from the hotel I was in and I was on a mission! Find more suitable accommodation and book my railway seats. I was obviously left out of the loop about pre-booking train tickets here. Back home the government was you on trains for more growth and investment, whereas in India, you're more likely to find that you're deterred. On ration, the amount of commute that goes on a month here figure wise, is what we do back home in a year. I know, jeeeeez! So first to the Indian red cross building, to see a contact that was the friend of a friend whose working there and who was going to try and help me out of my current predicament. On meeting here I was told to do the Golden triangle, then instead of travelling around from east of it, instead travel west! Which also concurred with the advice given to me by the good guy tourist board last night. So the train bookings I'd have to sort meant a trip to New Delhi Railway station.
WOW! Interms of hyperactivity and sheer busy confusion, Kings Cross Station in comparison, seems like a place that has tumbleweed rolling across it. Crash, bang, wallop! It's an amazing experience if only to watch. The main tourist bureau I was looking for was very well hidden away! And if you don't have the trait of persistence, you'd probably be incline to think that this place doesn't exist and that you'll have to book some other way. Especially with a 20 kilo backpack on in 27 degree heat Adding to the fact that you have many other touters trying to convince you otherwise and send you to their office, of course for commission. Well after eons of hunting and misleading sign direction, I found it. A bit like that waiting room between heaven and hell, sitting there, next to two beetroot red German backpackers, I started to feel a bit like the actor Michael Keaton in the movie Beetlejuice. I luckily had an Indian rail card, purchased from back home, which is a similar principle to a UK Oyster card. so, mundane form filled in, with a stern finger point and I was seen quicker than anticipated. `thanks railcard' ;-) and my train tickets to Agra, Jaipur and Mumbai were done in about 5minutes. At last the tide was turning and Delhi was starting to go my.
Job done I have to rush back to my contact at the Indian Red Cross building, who had to leave work in an hour and who also had the rest of my stuff. The clock was ticking! I get there and it was all about accommodation for tonight and booking my Jaipur to Mumbai flight. Sounds simple enough right? Well luckily it was. She booked me into the Ajanta Hotel, right around the corner from New Delhi Station and with my flight, their is a site many innIndia use which is called; makemyflight.com. Like Ryanair I guess. Flight was �35 pounds and with a rickshaw ordered to take me to my hotel. It was smiles all round. Enjoying my trip don't get me wrong but haven't quite been able to fully relax in India yet. With every person or situation you encounter, you feel as though you have to be constantly on your guard. Still if you ask yourself the question of whether or not feeling slightly uneasy and having fun at the same time exists? Then I'm living proof. Shower then bed.
MAKEMYTRIP.COM for getting around the country over long distances if you want a break from the trains.
Get one weeks in advance if possible in the country you reside and pre book your journeys or suffer at your own peril. You cannot book an Indian train last last minute.
First proper nights kip and everything now sorted, I was keen to make the most of the city. Got myself a driver. Ravi was his name. We conversed lots over the day although not really understanding a word the other was saying. Still I'd like to think that the replies to each others comments, were actually the correct responses to what was being said. Just spoken in each others languages. I hold my hands up on this one though! As I'm in his country and should have made more effort "Sorry Ravi" Did all the sites listed with this blog and saw some others too. Although some of the stuff seen was of similar standing to many of the other countries I've been, what you see in India has far more of a majestic feel and look to it. Helps you to really immerse in the culture. Although at the lotus building I opted for just the photos and the non committal of taking my boots off. Based on my last couple of days, I couldn't help my paranoia of maybe not seeing them again. Not due to theft but just some odd random cock up. As one of the other guys said to me that first night.
This is India my friend"
What struck me was the face to face poverty seen on the streets. Sure we've all seen it many times in the media! But face to face real was grim and extremely sad to watch. They say the economy here is booming! Well in my book when you walk around the streets of Delhi, all I saw in the eyes of the people was BUST!
"This is India my friend"
All in all though the best day so far! And now I feel like I'm here. Tomorrow it's off to Agra then Jaipur. Fingers crossed that my Agra debut is more of a peaceful affair.

But once I gave birth to my son in 2011, I was struck by overwhelming respect and amazement for the six documented women who did all that and did it while pregnant.

Vikings OT Bryant McKinnie has a score to settle with Bears DE Julius Peppers
There are 27 comments on the TwinCities.com story from Nov 12, 2010, titled Vikings OT Bryant McKinnie has a score to settle with Bears DE Julius Peppers. In it, TwinCities.com reports that:Julius Peppers recorded one sack in his matchup with the Vikings last year, but that number doesn't begin to illustrate the pain the now-Chicago Bears defensive end inflicted on quarterback Brett Favre.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at TwinCities.com.
#1 Nov 12, 2010
You got love Peppers the guy can play I just hope McKinnie pounds on him throughout the game. GO Vikings
#2 Nov 12, 2010
Mckinnie will be lucky if Peppers doesn't beat him up and take his lunch money. Can there be a worse 7 million dollar per year left tackle in the league? Mckinnie totally whiffed once last week and just about got Favre killed. The vikes are gonna have to help gluefoot with chipping from the TE or RB. Vikes 27-24
Since: Sep 08
#3 Nov 12, 2010
I feel sorry for Favre this week, Mckinnie couldnt block his mother let alone Peppers..Brett will be so black and blue he wont want to text any photos of himself
#5 Nov 12, 2010
It seems like Kleinsasser has been more involved in the backfield during the last few games. He's still a fantastic blocker. They're really gonna need him against the Bears.
#6 Nov 13, 2010
any speedrusher > McKinnie
#7 Nov 13, 2010
Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder. We want
to see better protection for Favre so that nobody
can take him out from his blind side. In spite
of not getting that protection last week he did
o.k. Everybody and his mother wants to hurt
Favre. Show some respect for your QB. Focus on your position so that doesn't happen.
#8 Nov 13, 2010
Well, ox, maybe Mckinnie's ravaged thumb has been repaired, and he is back to his full potential of waving at Peppers as he goes roaring by on his track to destroy Farve..(..)
#9 Nov 13, 2010
I have been shouting this from day one..Kleinsasser is more valuable as a blocker to protect Favre, then he is for catching one, or maybe two passes a game....Harvin can pick up those pass plays instead...Protect Favre!!.Also, Childress...bring your team's Long spike/Cleat shoes to Chicago this time..You will need them this go-around...
#10 Nov 13, 2010
MOUNT MCAN'TBLOCK has no reason to be opening his pie hole.He is old ,slow , and non athletic .He makes noname rushers look great,just ask ALL Brett Farves bruises! I hope he has a good game,he hasn't thus far...Goooo Vikings!!!
#11 Nov 13, 2010
I hope Klink listens to what you're saying, because you're right on. Except, after chipping Peppers, Kleinsasser can catch a ten to twenty yard pass! SKOL!!
#12 Nov 13, 2010
That's why Favre had the success that he had last week. Everyone was wondering why Shianco wasn't getting any catches early in the game and the reason was because they had Kleinsasser helping block on the left side and Shank was on the sideline. Kleinsasser even had a reception!! They better have Jimmy over on that side again if they plan on stopping Peppers and then rotate Shank in and out. How about Favre running, rolling out to his right AND the QB sneak---did somebody give him some of that 5 Hour Energy Drink??? This will be a 2 way street because the Bears have no O-line so the Vikings D better have a good game and come away with some sacks..........
#13 Nov 13, 2010
A lot is riding on this, so step up your play Bryant. Skol Vikings.
Since: Sep 08
#14 Nov 13, 2010
not thats funny
#15 Nov 13, 2010
Julius Peppers vs "The Matador"
What is different? Oh yeah, Peppers is on a new team.
I still cannot believe the Vikes lost At Chicago, At Carolina and At AZ last year........
..........Chilly has not won a road game since he got his fat contract.
Since: Feb 08
#16 Nov 13, 2010
Mount McKinnie better get some help or Brett will be over seasoned all afternoon.
#17 Nov 13, 2010
McKinnie Strategy: "Instead of being a revolving door to the right, I can reverse it, & revolve to the left".- That being said, I see the Viking Defense being the biggest factor in the game, & MN winning by 3 or 4 points.- Not "Bad-Mouthing" Chicago, but MN's "D" Line is a helluva lot better than Chicago's "O" Line. Also, Harvin & Peterson are superior players.
#18 Nov 13, 2010
yours is....
Since: Sep 08
#19 Nov 14, 2010
i apologize i meant to type now thats funny
United States
#20 Nov 14, 2010
Cuntler 3 TD's...that's funny. Vikings suck.
#21 Nov 14, 2010
Today wasn't funny, thats for sure...The Bears came to play..The Vikings didn't...

Michael Mann plans to direct "Gold," from a spec script that Paul Haggis brought him, TheWrap has confirmed.
Michael Mann Picture.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; margin: 15px; float: left; width: 200px; height: 200px;" title="" />Haggis, Mann and Michael Nozik will produce.
The movie is a thriller about a search for gold.
An individual familiar with the project told TheWrap that Haggis found the spec script, by Patrick Massett and John Zinman, and brought it to Mann.
Haggis couldn't direct because he had other commitments.
There are no other attachments.
Mann has been known to package projects before, and will develop "Gold" internally, as he did with "Heat," before bringing it to studios.
The individual familiar with the project said it's still early in the process.
Mann, Massett and Zinman are repped by CAA.

Reagan in '77; Rush-Newt-Cheney in '09
posted at 9:41 am on June 5, 2009 by Karl
Noemie Emery has a wonderful article, "Reagan in Opposition," posted at the Weekly Standard. She begins in 1977 with some wonderful reminders of how the GOP was written off (as it has been every 16 years or so since the end of WWII). Indeed, Reagan himself was written off, and Emery suveys his comeback at the tactical and thematic level.
Emery focuses on four things that stand out about Reagan's behavior while in opposition:
- He was focused on large, central themes;
- His tone was unfailingly gracious and civil, and focused on issues, not men. In his many newspaper columns, he was almost never partisan or even explicitly conservative;
- He was an optimist, focused on hope and the future;
- He was able to lead both a movement and a party.
That's a pretty good checklist — and a daunting one — for any of the Republicans already laying the groundwork for a presidential run in 2012. (For those who bemoan the seeming permanent campaign season, take note that Reagan never really stopped running after the 1976 campaign.)
Perhaps the most striking of those four factors was Reagan's civil and often non-partisan tone. After all, one of Reagan's more memorable speeeches (at CPAC in 1975) blasted the GOP as carrying a banner of "pale pastels" instead of "bold colors." But Reagan also understood that the GOP could carry a banner of bold colors without looking like he was trying to impale his opponents on its standards.
Of course, not everyone on the Right is laying a foundation for a presidential run in 2012. There are plenty of roles for conservatives and libertarians of varying stripes to play.
Lapdog pressmen like Howard Fineman may be as eager as Barack Obama to make Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich and Dick Cheney the face of the GOP, but that is not really their function. E.J. Dionne frets that the Democrats' strategy here is backfiring, that figures like Limbaugh and Gingrich are setting the news agenda. Allahpundit correctly notes that Dionne's thesis — that the media hypes Rush's controversies because it's secretly right-wing — is just plain dumb. But Dionne and Fineman do have a point in noting that the Right's pitbulls have been more effective than the GOP's elected officials in getting arguments into the national discussion, even when the lapdog press frames them negatively. They are currently creating the issue spaces Republicans can later occupy with a more civil tone — if they ever get their acts together.

Waikato's 9-1 loss even more embarrassing than Phoenix thrashing.
Waikato FC coach Mark Cossey left Porritt Stadium yesterday knowing full well how Ricki Herbert must have felt after the Wellington Phoenix slumped to a worst-ever 7-1 A-League loss in Sydney on Saturday night.
Less than 24 hours later, Cossey was left contemplating an even more embarrassing 9-1 loss to ASB Premiership leaders Waitakere United.
In equalling the league record they set over Canterbury United in 2007-08 and which was repeated last season by Canterbury United over YoungHeart Manawatu, Paul Marshall's Waitakere handed hapless Waikato their biggest loss - two goals worse than the 7-1 hiding, also by Waitakere, in 2005-06.
It could have been a lot worse. Waitakere scored six unanswered goals between the 10th and 27th minutes to lead 6-0 at the break. Debutante Sunny Singh needed just five minutes after his 55th-minute introduction to score his first goal but that was a temporary stay before the visitors scored three in the last 10 minutes as Allan Pearce and Roy Krishna completed hat-tricks.
The goalfest in Hamilton was not quite matched elsewhere but a total of 22 goals were scored, with Auckland City keeping their firm grip on second place in beating a spirited Otago United 3-1 in the only home team win of the round.
Hawkes Bay United won 5-1 over Manawatu and Team Wellington beat Canterbury 2-0 in Christchurch.
Rated 20 to one shots, Otago surprised many late in the first half when they clawed back from 2-0 to 2-1 before lively Frenchman Victor da Costa, who had provided the clinical assist for Regan Coldicott's opening goal, hit the crossbar with what could have been a 43rd minute equaliser.
City made certain there would be no Otago comeback when Adam Dickinson rolled home a third goal.
Otago coach Richard Murray, forced to put out a weakened side after he had two players sent off a week earlier in the 4-1 win over Manawatu, felt they might have been a bit gun-shy in the opening 25 minutes as City took control.
"We sat back too deep early on but once we started to press forward we found they were like any other team."
The warm conditions were testing for both teams.
Led by two goals from Sean Lovemore, who is joined at the top of the golden boot by Krishna, Hawkes Bay raced to 4-0 by the break and cruised home while Team Wellington had a goal in each half - from Wiremu Patrick and Luis Corrales - to get home at ASB Football Park and keep their play-off hopes alive.

Choose Beauty: Antoinette Beenders
|Antoinetteâs Surprising Secrets
Favorite Music: The early â90s. âMinistry of Sound and Massive Attack; I was a club queen.â
Guilty Pleasure: Collecting fine art photography. âIâve a bit of a habit and like to go to Reflex Art Gallery in Amsterdam.â
Biggest Challenge on Set: Finding models in the middle of Norway. âOne girl showed up, so I had her take me all around the village and introduce me to her friends.â
Life Changer: Visiting Nepal. âThey have nothing, and it made me realize I donât need things. This makes you powerful as a person; you can do what you need to do.â
Antoinette Beenders, vice president of
creative and global creative director of
Aveda, is one of those people who makes
it straight-up obvious why theyâre so
successful. She lives and breathes hair,
design and image creation.
Unaware that not everyoneâs so hard driven, she pegs herself as boring: âMy hobby is my work; I eat, sleep, drink it. My top beauty rules are sleep, eat healthy organic food and exercise. My guilty pleasure is to stay home.â
Centered and focused, yes. But boring? Anything but. The 2004 British Hairdresser of the Year and nine-time nominee has traveled the globe and worked with the worldâs top creative talent. She currently spends most her time creating images for Aveda, developing new products, photographing models and designing ads. What sheâd most like to do next is win an award for an Aveda ad campaign, and she probably will.
âMy job encompasses so many things; Iâm never in a rut,â says Beenders.
The Roots of Success
Born in Holland, Beenders says her mother was an accountant and her father was a photographer who showed her how to see things. She got the best of both, she adds, but more importantly was raised to have confidence: âThereâs a lot to be said for that.â Apparently so, because thereâs not question she canât answer with ease:
How do you create a collection?
âGo to history and juxtapose. Do Bardo with a twist. Go matte not smooth. Add the opposite of whatâs expected; if sepia was photographically hot last season, try neon. Then show the looks in short, medium and long variations with altered textures.â
Where do you get new ideas?
âEverywhere! Get out of the salon. Go to a museum. I love the New York and Paris fabric exhibitions, which translate into length and texture. Iâm not a Facebook girl but online, I like the fashion gone rogue website.â
Dream makeover?
âThe Queen of England. She needs a good cut and a blow out. I actually looked into it but apparently itâs rule of the monarchy that she has to look as she does on the currency.â
A tad cheeky that, but only natural coming from a woman who says if she hadnât been a hairdresser, sheâd have been a detective.
âI like to suss things out, research and fix problems,â says Beenders. âRight now, I have enough ideas for the next 10 years.â
