Your Golden Angel
No one else can see it, but you know the secret of your Wellendorff ring –
a little golden angel is hidden inside.
Read the whole story which inspired us to create this new collection at:
www.wellendorff.com/goldenangel

A true story:
“One day a raging fire destroyed everything I possessed,
including my beloved jewellery.
Only one piece survived the inferno practically
undamaged: my Wellendorff necklace adorned with a
golden angel.
After this fire, jewellery has a completely different meaning
for me; because it proves that miracles do happen.”
Letter from Inga Lasmane of Riga, Latvia.
This letter is the inspiration for our new collection.
It came as a welcome reminder of the true value of jewellery:
To offer joy and protection.

Service with
a Smile
With a combination of military discipline and good
humor, Sales Agent Chris Tisot helps you get where
you’re going BY PETE RAPALUS
SOON AFTER CHRIS TISOT began his
career with Continental in 1987 at
Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport
(CLE), word spread: “Don’t be late
to Chris’ gate!” Fresh from a 7-year stint
in the U.S. Army, Tisot quickly became
known for bringing military discipline
to his work—tempered by humor.
“But he’s also the most caring, giving
person I’ve ever met,” says Tim Olson,
assistant director of customer service at
CLE. Coworkers admit Tisot’s personality
and humor can verge on the dry and
sarcastic, not unlike a drill sergeant—
but that’s in the break room, not with
customers. He’s one of the many friendly
faces that help you find your gate or

VOICES
make a tight connection and clear a path
if you need special assistance.
“You don’t ever need to ask him to
help,” says Susanne Caraff a, his manager.
“He just jumps in, no ma er where he
might be in the airport.”
“Chris is like that special player that
can turn a good team into a championship
winner,” adds Olson. “He has a kind
way of assisting people, and he listens
very intently to see how he can help.
With Chris it’s not, ‘Here’s what you’re
going to get,’ it’s ‘What do you need?’”
Tisot credits his military experience,
volunteer work and many years of world
travel for the way he relates to customers.
“When I’m in their shoes, most of
the time what I need is information—
directions, an explanation for why
the plane is late. It helps if I know
that someone is actually interested in
helping. Some days the airport can be
a hectic place even for me, and I’m here
nearly every day!”
He eagerly volunteers for the frontline
assignments—like greeting deplaning
passengers with connection information
right at the gate or manning the
infamous Gate D7—the fi rst one most
passengers encounter after emerging
from the underground tunnel from
Concourse C. Consequently, it becomes
an unoffi cial information booth.
“A lot of people would rather not
work that gate,” he laughs. “But I like
to get hit with all those questions. I
really like to help out fi rst-time travelers
and families that are having a hard
time navigating the airport. At that
moment, I’m the face of United for
them. It could be a once-in-a-lifetime
trip, or their fi rst trip ever. I don’t know
what they’ve already been through that
day; all I can do is make sure they won’t
have a harder time once they get here.”
His cardinal rule when talking to
customers? “Don’t make up a story if
you don’t know the answer. That’s particularly
important nowadays,” he says.
“They get the updates on their mobile
devices more quickly than I can get back
to the podium to fi nd out if it’s a crew
delay or a weather front moving in.”
Tisot is also active in numerous
philanthropic eff orts in Cleveland and
beyond. He’s gone on a humanitarian
mission to Panama and plans to make a
third visit to Afghanistan soon. Among
his favorite projects is one that helps provide
eyeglasses to the vision-impaired,
improving eyesight for many people
who have never had access to glasses
or adequate vision care. This mission
group also provides shelter, clean water
and food, and supplies everything from
soccer balls to basic classroom supplies
for school children.
Chris Tisot looks forward to many
more travel adventures, customer
interactions and rewarding work in his
continued service with United.

Eco-Skies
United reaffi rms its commitment to the environment,
both in the air and on the ground
AS THE UNITED AND CONTINENTAL subsidiary airlines continue the process of integrating
their operations, the carriers recently unveiled the merged company’s new
environmental commitment. Eco-Skies will be the integrated environmental program
which will focus on reducing the airlines’ impact on the environment in the air, on
the ground, at facilities, with their business partners and across their communities.
The new United is commi ed to leading commercial aviation as an
environmentally responsible company by taking actions today that shape a
sustainable future. The company will:
• Reduce fuel use and improve fuel effi ciency of aircra and vehicles through
technology and process innovation;
• Advance and utilize environmentally responsible and cost-effi cient
alternative fuels;
• Improve the sustainability of products and facilities and responsibly manage
waste generated by business activities;
• And work together with coworkers and stakeholders—customers, airports,
business partners, suppliers, governments and NGOs—to promote
accountability and protect the environment while achieving business goals.
The company’s new environmental commitment expands upon the solid track
records that United and Continental have each built by improving aircra fuel
effi ciency and introducing sustainability programs.
On a combined basis, the companies’ environmental accomplishments include:
• Improved fuel effi ciency by 32 percent since 1994;
• Robust aircra orders that will deliver a greater than 20 percent improvement
in fuel effi ciency composed of 50 Boeing Dreamliner 787s and 25 Airbus A350s;
• First U.S. biofuel and synthetic fuel demonstration fl ights and signed le ers of
intent to advance cost-effi cient and environmentally responsible alternative
jet fuels derived from biomass feedstock;
• More than 3,600 ground service equipment vehicles, or approximately
26 percent, are electric or alternatively fueled;
• Recycling more than 3 million pounds of aluminum cans and plastic items
from waste generated infl ight over the last fi ve years;
• Off ering customer solutions such as the use of smartphones p or r PDAs for mobile
boarding ng in lieu of printed boarding passes, which has saved approximately
1,200 trees since 2007.

ASK THE PILOT
With Captain Mike Bowers
Q: Why is the airplane
sometimes hot on
the ground but fi ne
in the air?
A: Aircraft are heated and
cooled diff erently on the
ground than they are in the
air. In the air, the temperature
is controlled by units that are
powered by high pressure
air from the engines. While
boarding, we do not have the
engines running, so we use
other methods. The primary
one is to pump preconditioned
air into the aircraft via
a large hose. If this is not suffi
cient, we use the aircraft's
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU),
which is a small jet engine
that powers the aircraft's
cooling system. The use of
the APU burns extra fuel
(and is also rather loud), so
we only use it when needed
to maintain a comfortable
temperature. If the air is
hot, please advise the fl ight
attendants, and they will let
the pilots know that we need
to start the APU. You can
help keep the aircraft cooler
for the next fl ight by lowering
your window shade when
you land on a hot day. Our
goal is to make you comfortable
on the ground as well as
in the air.

JAMIE WESTENDORF, FOR 35 years the

“As fast as you’re shucking them,

Westendorf hopes to hand his business

state-owned shellfish grounds, and a
rising demand for decorative shells used
in landscaping and construction, oyster
beds in the Charleston area have been
decimated (as elsewhere: see above).
Enter the South Carolina Department
of Natural Resources. It works
with the food industry and citizen
volunteers to return thousands of
tons of discarded shells to the reefs in
spawning season, when millions of tiny
oyster larvae are seeking something
hard and genetically familiar to a ach
to. Since 2001, when the eff ort began, 37
acres of oyster beds have been rebuilt.
Westendorf is one of the program’s
most avid participants, providing so
many bushels over the years he’s been
given his own storage trailer.
Westendorf has been celebrated for
his charity work in Charleston, but
his oyster eff orts may prove to be his
most lasting contribution. A er all, it’s
a cause that hits close to home in more

GREAT RIFT
VALLEY, KENYA
Prides
and Joy
How a tribesman who
once killed a lion became
one of the species’
leading advocates
DISPATCHES
DAY BREAKS OVER the Great Ri Valley in southwest Kenya, and Koike
Parsaloi, a 37-year-old Masai guide from the Shompole Eco Lodge, draped
in a purple-checkered robe and beaded necklaces, drives his Land Rover
across the veld. Moments later he cuts the engine, and a lioness appears from
a thicket of prairie grass. One lion follows another, until an entire pride is
creeping across the plain toward a herd of zebra.
Such scenes were uncommon here only a decade ago, when conservationist
and designer Anthony Russell partnered with local Masai to create the
lodge and conservancy. At that time, these cats faced an uncertain future,
their numbers thinned by hunting and habitat loss. Since then, Koike and
his tribesmen have reversed the trend. The result: Lion populations in
Shompole Conservancy and its environs have increased from just six to
70, even as their numbers continue to fall throughout Kenya.
That Koike has emerged as a protector of lions is poignant. Not only does
he come from a tribe in which youngsters kill lions to prove their manhood
(a practice abandoned in Shompole), when he was 24 he killed one that
had crept into his village. “It was very dark,” he recalls, “and everyone was
sleeping.” Sensing something from his hut, he stepped outside and found a
lion staring back at him. He slew it with a single thrust of his spear.
Back on the veld, as the zebras notice the pride and fl ee, Koike praises
the changes that have occurred here, where tourism revenues have funded
schools and health care for the Masai, “including my three children,” he says.
The pride turns its a ention to a group of giraff es, and Koike shi s his Land
Rover into gear and lights off in pursuit.—JOEL CENTANO

VALENCIA, SPAIN
In the Market
As the morning sun shines through the stained glass windows of
Valencia’s vast indoor Central Market, vendors push carts brimming
with apples and oranges in anticipation of a busy shopping day. To
the right of the entrance stands thirtysomething Antonio Catalán
Gómez, the man behind the market’s most popular spice stall,
Purifi cación Gómez Molina. Always cheerful, even as tears stream
down his cheeks thanks to the frigid air from nearby refrigerated
fi sh stalls, Gómez greets customers as they peruse the groomed
mounds of paprika and jars of cinnamon and saff ron.
His grandfather started the business when the market opened in
1928, and it hasn’t closed a day since. “My father took over the stall
in 1970, and I started working here after his death, several years ago,
to help my mother,” he says. “Everyone knows us because we buy
the best-quality spices and we’ve been around for so long.”
Growing up, he would help his father stock shelves on Saturday
mornings. Then, the market was dark and dingy—soot covered the
stained glass and “sun never came through the windows,” he says.
“It was pretty bad until recently,” when the city renovated the market
fi ve years ago. Nowadays, the space’s visual aesthetic is more
cathedral than market, with frescos of Valencia oranges painted on
trusses and a sparkling dome at its center. “It is so beautiful now,”
he says. “I love being able to see the sun during the day.”
A balding man walks up to the stall carrying three baguettes.
He smiles, exchanges anges
pleasantries and d leaves
with four containers ners of
paprika. “He’s one ne of
my regulars,” Catalán atalán
Gómez says. “I have a
close relationship ip with
my customers—they —they
are family. I plan n to to
keep this business ess
going for a long,
long time.”

BERLIN GREAT RECEPTION
There’s nothing palatial
about Pallasseum, a bleak,
1970s cement monolith built around a
World War II bunker here in Berlin. Some
might say this 514-unit apartment complex
is an outright eyesore. For artist Daniel
Knipping, however, it’s the perfect canvas
for an urban art project.
For two nears, Knipping has been
printing images on the 300 or so satellite
receivers a ached to Pallasseum’s
façade. Most of the devices are owned
by immigrants longing to get news from
home, but by decorating them with
pictures, Knipping transforms these
passive receptors into transmi ers of art.
Initially many residents were dubious,
but when Klaus-Peter Fritsch, the
management company’s CEO, heard the
idea, he was so enthusiastic he paid for the
fi rst fi ve pieces. Other tenants were soon
on board, and the city fi nanced the rest of
the project with a $23,000 grant.
Knipping worked with each
participating household to come up with
the designs. Some selected photographs
of their loved ones, while others chose
pictures from nature to brighten the dull
concrete surroundings. One dish shows a
religious icon, another a Pop Art Chevrolet.
Not every resident has been raving
about it, however. “What art?” says
Madlen Thiele, a hairdresser and lifelong
resident of Pallasseum. “Oh, those? They’re
silly, don’t you think?” Thiele said she
would have rather spent the money on
repainting the building. Nevertheless,
Fritsch remains “proud” of the result.

THE WORLD || Road Trip
GARIA LSV
The bells and whistles
on our way to tour the majestic St.
Louis Cathedral, not many. It’s easy
to feel a little self-conscious riding
around New Orleans’ raucous, congested
streets in a vehicle with an
engine that doesn’t so much growl as
mewl, and that beeps like a long-haul
truck when backing up. Despite the
catcalls, it doesn’t take us long to learn
to love the li le monster.
Around lunchtime, we parallel-park
in a tiny spot, barely big enough for a
10-speed, in front of a Southern restaurant
called Sylvain. As we eat braised
beef cheeks and asparagus with a
poached farmers egg, the owner—no
Starting Price: $17,499
Engine: 48 volt, 5.4 horsepower
electric engine with a top speed
of 27 mph.
Performance: The Garia can travel 40 miles on a single charge,
largely because of its regenerative braking on hills. Automatic
electromagnetic brakes engage when you take your foot off the
accelerator—most likely to prevent accidentally bumping into
wayward pedestrians and parade fl oats.
Perks: The cart is golf course–ready with rear-mounted golf bag
holders, dashboard-mounted icebox, score card, pen, ball, tee and
cup holders, roof vent, water-resistant handstitched seats, 12"
chrome alloy wheels.

doubt impressed by our cart—opens
a vintage bottle of Jack Daniel’s (specifically
designed for Frank Sinatra’s
onetime mob supplier) and pours a tall
tumbler of whiskey for Jenna.
By mida ernoon, we’re meandering
down Royal and Bourbon Streets beeping
our adorable li le horn. Emboldened
by the whiskey, Jenna starts tossing
beads, trying to start a parade.
“I like your suit!” she shouts to a businessman
walking into a bank. “You want
some beads?”
Another guy wearing a straw hobo
hat yells, “Where do I get one of those
things?”
By the time we take the Canal Street
ferry to explore the peaceful, 18th century
neighborhood of Algiers Point,
we’re giddy with cart-induced nostalgia.
Zipping along the quiet Algiers streets,
we seek restitution for summers spent
working menial jobs instead of joyriding
in golf carts.
Finally, we double back along the
roads of New Orleans’ second-oldest
quarter, flanked by pastel Creole cottages
and Victorians, the speed demon
hitting a whopping 27 mph on one
extended curve. We line up for the ferry
on the opposite side, on a dock over
the Mississippi where the river accelerates
on its fi nal escape into the Gulf of
Mexico, and take a nap in the sun.
Our rambling route to dinner takes
us under Spanish moss–draped live
oaks to a jazz club called Snug Harbor
on Frenchmen Street—a stretch of seasoned,
ramshackle music venues, free
of T-shirt shops and chain restaurants,
that some call the locals’ Bourbon. A er
a bottle of champagne and an hour
and half of sultry Thelonious Monk
standards by the Ellis Marsalis quintet,
we’re approached by a few locals who
recognize us from our joyride.
“Hey, where is your cart?” one of the
guys asks.
“It’s right outside.” I point.
“Shhh, don’t tell them or it won’t be
there in the morning,” Jenna warns jokingly,
looking out the window.
“Oh come on! Who steals a golf cart?”
By the time we rouse ourselves from
the Ritz-Carlton the next morning and
go to fi nd it, the Garia has indeed disappeared,
picked up by the company that
loaned it to us, leaving nothing but a
haze of joy and delirium on the corner
of Frenchmen and Chartres.
We never did get a bill from that valet.
Associate editor JACQUELINE DETWILER
wishes the Garia also came with an
automatic designated driver.

2 GREEN SCREEN NanoLumens TVs run
on about the same amount of energy as
fi ve lightbulbs, or a coff ee maker.
The
Big Bend
Do you wish you had a giant,
fl exible television that could
fi t into any corner of your
backyard, thus creating your
own alfresco IMAX? Richard
Cope, a former head of R&D
for the Marine Corps, did. So
he started NanoLumens, a
company that makes light-as-air
TVs that fl ex, twist and even
wrap around columns. Here’s
how it’s done.
BY JOE MULLICH
HOW IT’S DONE
3
NANOLUMENS
90 lbs
TRADITIONAL LCD TV
500 lbs
BIT BY BIT The surface of
a NanoLumens screen is
composed of tiny light diodes
called nixels on a bendable
surface. Each nixel contains a
red, green and blue phosphor.
4 A BRIGHT
IDEA Unlike a
projector, which
dims in the
ambient light,
NanoLumens
screens stay
bright even in
sunlight.
1 Companies that experimented with fl exible TVs always ran into a
distortion problem: As the screen bent, the images stretched or elongated.
To solve this, NanoLumens placed all the diodes (they call them nixels) on
a “single-bend” plane. So no matter how the screen fl exes—horizontally,
vertically, corner to corner—the distance between the diodes doesn’t change.
Presto! The image stays clear.
2 Cope predicts that the screens will be used as digital banners in public
spaces, so they have to be able to draw power from just about any outlet,
no matter how dodgy the neighborhood. The supereffi cient nixels—which
require much less energy than plasma or LCD TVs—make this possible.
“The screens can plug into a normal outlet and draw even less power than a
coff eemaker,” says Cope.
3 An LCD TV the size of a NanoLumens screen would weigh around 500
pounds, which doesn’t work well in spaces with no room for permanent
mounts. To get the weight down to under 100 pounds, NanoLumens simply
nixed the glass. “The front glass of a traditional TV is 80 percent of the
weight,” says Paul Schaefer, director of operations. “We just took it out.”
4 The bendable TV is “basically a large computer monitor,” says Schaefer.
As a result, it’s not limited to one orientation. NanoLumens programmers
can change the settings to display content either vertically or horizontally,
depending on the planned layout. The screen also emits light rather than
refl ecting it like a projection screen, so it stays bright even in sunlight.

SPAIN
Green
Gold
A crop of new organic
plantations in Andalusia have
helped transform Spain into
one of the world’s most prolifi c
producers of great olive oil
BY JIFFER BOURGUIGNON
FOOD & DRINK
IT WAS BACK IN 1980 that Pedro Gomez de Baeza, then a business
student at the University of Pennsylvania, fi rst noticed a baffl ing
price discrepancy in his supermarket. “Stores sold Italian olive oil
for $10 a bo le, but the same product from Spain was less than
$5,” de Baeza recalls. “I knew we produced high-quality olive oil
in Spain, and I wanted the world to know it too.”
In the 1990s, de Baeza, by then a prominent Madrid fi nancier,
turned his focus to his family-owned estate, La Amarilla, in the
picturesque town of Ronda in southern Andalusia. An order of
nuns had once produced olive oil there, and de Baeza decided to
revitalize the property’s oil-making capabilities, turning the home
into the headquarters for the newly formed LA Organic.
De Baeza worked with agricultural experts and developed
a network of 56 organic olive farmers and cooperatives across
fi ve vast Andalusian provinces, a concept he’s dubbed “pagos

THE WORLD || Food & Drink
asociados.” (Only
three percent of
Spain’s groves grow
organic olives, but
the small amount
accounts for an
astounding 25 percent
of organic olive
groves worldwide.)
Then de Baeza recruited
renowned
Bordeaux-trained
oenologist Michel Rolland as a
blending consultant, and creative
genius Philippe Starck to
design the packaging.
Third-generation olive oil
expert Maximiliano Arteaga is
one of the “noses” responsible for
LA Organic’s blend. His creation
has hints of apple and almond
from the sweet arbequina olive,
and it bears a likeness to avocado
in the fruity, slightly bi er
hojiblanca—both of which are
mixed into LA Organic’s product.
As though leading a wine tasting,
Arteaga explains the subtle
undertones of each olive, some
of which are too nuanced for the
novice palate.
Similarities to wine making
don’t end there. De Baeza and
Starck have set their sights
on agro-tourism. “We’ll design
an almazara,” says de Baeza, a
traditional mill–cum–visitor
center that off ers tastings and
background information about
olive oil production and the
history of Andalusia, where the
rocky soil provides prime conditions
to produce 80 percent of
Spain’s olive oil.
Standing on his terrace, de
Baeza surveys the motley crop
of wild olive trees scattered
across the sloping landscape. “If
I can contribute in a very small
way to the view that Spain produces
incredible olive oil while
making people aware of this
beautiful place…” He trails off.
So far, so good.

48 JUNE 2011 • HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM
THE HEMI Q&A: Louis C.K.
HERE’S THE FUNNIEST THING about Louis C.K., the scabrous
comedian who makes family life sound like a chamber of
horrors: He actually goes kind of gooey and sweet when he
talks about his kids—two daughters, 6 and 9.
Gooey and sweet aren’t a big part of his blockbuster
standup performances, but a dose of that sentiment has
trickled into Louie, his brilliant and at times disarmingly
tender show on FX, now in its second season. On the show,
which mixes standup and absurdist dramatic vigne es, he
riff s on the indignities and peculiarities of everyday life,
off ering a rolling interrogation of why things are the way
they are from the perspective of a comedian turned loving
single father. It’s the brainchild of a walking hyphenate and
control freak: C.K. writes, directs, produces, acts, edits and
supervises the show’s music.
The son of a Mexican father and an Irish mother, he
grew up in Mexico City and moved to the Boston area at 10.
A er a slow start in comedy, the onetime auto mechanic
moved to New York in 1989 and started working his way up.
Now, with two lauded standup specials, a couple of
feature fi lms, one short-lived HBO sitcom (Lucky Louie)
and a stint writing for the hugely infl uential Dana Carvey
Show under his belt, C.K. has become one of the biggest
comics in the land. In April, his concert fi lm Hilarious won
the prize for best standup special at Comedy Central’s
comedy awards.
When we talk over the phone, there is a lot of noise in
the background. A er a bit of prodding, C.K. admits that
he’s out in his neighborhood in Lower Manha an buying
scooters for his kids. What a so ie.
HEMISPHERES: I did standup three
times. The fi rst was a gimme: I
MC’d an event with a lot of funny
people. The second time I did a
decent 20 minutes and got some
laughs. The third time, I walked out,
died and never recovered. It was the
worst 20 minutes of my life, and I
never did it again.
C.K.: That span pre y much
describes the comedy experience.
I went through them all,
except that each one lasted
years. I’ve had a couple of years
where I wasn’t ge ing any
laughs. But there was a feeling
I got from hi ing the dirt that
hard, knowing that I was still
functioning and that my limbs
would regenerate. A er a while, I
was ready to try it again.
HEMISPHERES: It’s hard not to
panic, yet you never seem to, like
when things get a little quiet on
your Tonight Show appearances.
C.K.: What happens on the
Tonight Show is that Jay always

Can Walmart get bigger
by going smaller?
58 JUNE 2011 • HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM
BY KEVIN GRAY
bright ideas
IN THE BEGINNING, Walmart spread across the land. It erected
185,000-square-foot megastores that devoured mom-and-pop
shops and vacuumed bargain-hunters into its sliding doors by the
millions. It became the world’s biggest and most feared retailer.
But it was stopped at the gates of cities—by labor unions and
community activists who railed against its size and its might—
and made to bide its time in the countryside. Until it came upon
a plan: to make itself very small, no bigger than a McMansion,
and slip on in.
This is Walmart’s Trojan Horse moment. The globe-straddling
giant that changed the way we shop has hit on a plan to crack
the dense and lucrative urban markets that have long shut it
out. “We have been hard at work on this roughly 15,000-squarefoot
model,” Bill Simon, the president and CEO of Walmart U.S.,
told a banking conference in March. It’s part of a wider go-small
strategy for the retail behemoth that includes mini-box stores
for cities, suburbs and even college campuses. Within the year,
Walmart plans to build 30 to 40 such “Express” stores. “We are
going to be adding hundreds of these in the coming years and
maybe even more depending on how they work out,” Simon said.
So secretive are Walmart’s new plans that Simon joked that a
“secret handshake” was needed to learn the details: “There are

also a couple of prototypes that have been built in super
secret locations that I can’t tell anybody about.”
Why all the secrecy? Even the smallest move the company
makes draws intense scrutiny, and the stakes for this one
are high. The juggernaut has faltered stateside, and Simon
needs to fi nd a way to quickly turn around seven straight quarters
of same-store sales declines, the worst slump Walmart
has suffered in the U.S. The recession and its aftermath
have eaten into the company’s bo om line, and the decision
two years ago to abandon its policy of off ering the lowest
prices on everything across the board in favor of reduced
inventory and select price “rollbacks” has made it vulnerable
to competition from big grocers like Kroger and discounters
like Dollar Tree. At its height, Walmart built 350 stores in a
year in the U.S., “because the economics of the Supercenter
were so compelling,” says Ken Harris, CEO of Kantar Retail
Americas Consulting. Now economic woes combined with
Walmart’s diffi culties in breaking into new markets suggest
the retail giant has finally reached big-box saturation in
the country that comprises about 64 percent of its annual
revenue. The reputation of CEO Simon, a former Navy offi -
cer who was put in charge of the struggling U.S. division
last June, is riding on the rollout.
(When contacted, Walmart declined
to comment.)
The new Express locations, which
will off er food, a pharmacy in many
cases, and health and beauty products,
will start going online soon. The
first will debut in Chicago’s South
Side this summer, and Simon—who
has also restored the company’s
everyday low-price policy—hopes
to move quickly once the plan gets
off the ground. “The aim here, folks,
is to get the right model so that we

can rapidly roll these things out,” Simon told the banking
conference. “When we get this thing right, these are going to
come real fast.”
Nevertheless, it won’t be an easy entry. Walmart finally
reached a compromise with local labor unions in Chicago to
raise wages last June, the fi rst time it had ever done so, and
is now planning to build six small stores there. In New York,
Walmart has had an even tougher time. It reached a deal
with a construction workers union in February to work on
any store it builds in the city in the next fi ve years, but it still
faces resistance from retail labor unions over wages. “Walmart
has a record of devastating small businesses in the immediate
surrounding area just because of its sheer market size and
capacity,” says Christine Quinn, the city council speaker and a
vocal opponent of Walmart. Asked if she would object to smallfootprint
versions moving in, Quinn took a shoulder-shrugging
stance, saying if the company’s small stores fi t in with existing
zoning regulations, there’s not much she could do to stop them.
But because of Walmart’s abiding anti-union stance, what critics
decry as its low wages, and the long-simmering class-action
sexual discrimination suit against the company, she wouldn’t
be happy about it. “It’s not like I’m gonna say, ‘Hey come
on in,’” in,’” says Quinn. Quin “My position changes when their
policies and activities act change.”
Nevertheless, Nevertheless John Bocuzzi Jr., a retail analyst who
has visited Walmart’s Wal Bentonville, Ark., headquarters
some 15 times
on research trips and admires the
company’s strategy, stra feels the plans have the ring of
inevitability to them. t “Any small urban retailer who
doesn’t take this move seriously,” he says, “is going
to be in for a moment of shock and awe
when wh these guys hit town.”

The ripped devotees of

I’M CROUCHED IN A SQUAT, just as I have been instructed. My
feet are pointing slightly outward, hips below my knees, arms in
front of my chest, elbows forming a 90-degree angle. My back is
straight—I think—and my head is level. I’m holding a 20-pound
medicine ball, and I can’t be sure, but my entire body might be
on fi re. My CrossFit coach, Justin, a kindly fellow who looks as
though he could tear off my arms, blows the whistle. My fi rst
wall ball drill has begun.
Wall ball is just one in the vast repertoire of exercises composing
CrossFit, a workout program and lifestyle with a fast-growing following
of ripped, not to say fanatical, devotees. The theory behind
wall ball applies to most of CrossFit’s exercises: explosive, varied
movements executed quickly and forcefully. The high-intensity
workouts mix elements of gymnastics, power li ing and cardio,
while aiming for what CrossFit calls “functional movements,” or
exercises that mimic activities you do in real life.
My body hurts too much for me to wonder which real-life
movement wall ball approximates (tossing a frozen turkey
over the garage?). I spring upward, jumping about a foot off
the ground and hurl the ball into the air. There’s a red line about
10 feet up the wall, and I’m supposed to get the ball above it. I
fail. The ball falls. That’s one rep.
“Get that ball up!” Justin yells, but I don’t. My second and

100 push-ups, 100 squats) and the JT
(rounds of 21, 15 and 9 reps of handstand
push-ups, ring dips and push-ups). If
those workouts sound nearly impossible,
that’s because they are. One of the main
tenets of CrossFit—and a big reason why
it’s a racted so many followers—is that
everyone from a professional athlete to
a professional cross-stitcher can participate
in the same workout, though only
a pro can complete it.
“There’s no person that CrossFit isn’t

coach in New York City who I watched do

“I have guys that are fresh out

That commitment to extreme eff ort

mixed martial arts and military worlds,

a fear that the workouts, which people

speed over technique and can lead
to injury. Then there is the rare occurrence
of rhabdomyolysis, a potentially
deadly disorder caused when muscle
fi bers break down and enter the bloodstream,
poisoning the kidney. Dr. Marc
Rogers, a professor of kinesiology at
the University of Maryland, says that
rhabdomyolysis usually occurs in
sedentary people who are starting an
intensive workout regime. “We see it
in military recruits who aren’t very fi t
when they get to basic training and
suddenly they’re doing three or four
hours of intensive workouts a day,”
PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF CROSSFIT/SUSANNAH DY

he says. Rogers adds that the chances
of CrossFit causing rhabdomyolysis
are slim. “We don’t see it very o en in
exercise programs,” he says.
Preischel owns CrossFit Hell’s Kitchen,
just off Times Square, part of an evergrowing
network of CrossFit affi liates
all around the world. His students, he
says, are mostly people bored with their
gym routines, though there are some
like me—I reached my physical peak at
16 and have been on a doughnut-fueled
descent into chubbiness ever since. Jared
Knowles started CrossFit on the same
day I did and has a similarly unimpressive
résumé. “I was a member of three
gyms at the same time and I hardly
ever went,” Knowles told me. He was
hooked a er three weeks, and now he’s
going fi ve or six times a week (CrossFit
recommends a three-day-on, one-dayoff
schedule).
“When I finish the workouts and
realize that I’ve just done 60 squats in
six minutes, I think, ‘Wow. I just did a lot
of exercising!’” Knowles says. A er the
same workout, I think, “Wow. I can’t walk!”
Knowles likes that feeling, too. “I don’t
mind the soreness because it’s a reminder
that I’m doing something good,” he says.
JUNE CROSSWORD ANSWERS
That’s what brings CrossFit students
together: Like soldiers in a foxhole,
they’re united by the pain. “There’s a
level of bonding achieved through suffering,”
Preischel says. “It builds a sense
of community around that shared experience
and that shared common goal.”
That community, along with the
unwavering devotion to the workouts
handed down from the CrossFit gods,
has led to one of the more bizarre criticisms
of the program: It’s a cult. A er
four weeks of classes and no sign of
white robes or Kool-Aid, I ask Preischel
about it. “Depends on how you defi ne
cult,” he says. Merriam-Webster provides
this, “Great devotion to a person, idea,
object, movement or work.” In that
sense, it qualifies, since devotion to
Glassman’s idea is the key to success.
Though cultish by defi nition, CrossFit
isn’t so diff erent from endurance running
or many other sports that require
almost servile dedication and an ability
to push past physical discomfort.
Four weeks a er my fi rst class, I have
to decide if I’ll buy another month. I
start to think about the positive changes
CrossFit has made in me—I eat be er,
I’m down a notch on my belt, and if I lean
to the le at just the right angle, in just
the right light, the top of my ab muscles
peek out from under the gobs of melted
cheese layered on my midsection. These
are good things. But then I think about
the constant soreness, the time I almost
tossed my cookies on 42nd Street during
a WOD, and the time I almost fainted on
the subway a er class. With three pros
and three cons I needed a tie breaker.
That’s when I remembered how much
I love a doughnut in the morning. I quit.

A Chance to
Cherish Time
By Keith W. Strandberg
The
watch on your wrist is
a symbol, rather than
the tool it was fifty
years ago. A symbol of
who you are or, perhaps,
who you want to
become. It’s a way to
express your style for
the day, or the kind of
person you are.
Hemispheres Watch Guide
After all, we really don’t need a watch
in today’s world, as the time is literally
all around us. It’s on your phone, the
microwave, your nightstand, your
computer, on the car dashboard, even on the iPad –
just about everywhere we look.
Watches, however, give us the semblance
of controlling time. After all, if we can mark
the passing of time, perhaps we can slow its
inexorable progress.
Certainly we know that we can’t do anything to
stop time, but by wearing a fine timepiece, we can
cherish the time we are spending, looking back on
the great memories that we have had and forward to
the ones we have yet to make.
A great watch can remind us of a particular
moment in our lives, or a single success, or, if
received as a gift, it can remind us of a special
loved one.
At the same time, watches say something
about the people we are. If we are more comfortable
wearing a sporty timepiece, it’s a statement about
our hobbies and our lifestyles. Likewise, if we
choose to wear something more classical and
sober, that shows a part of our personality as well.
Wild and crazy also exists in watches, and these
watches are a great way to have fun and make that
statement, too.
In this special watch section from Hemispheres,
we pay homage to all watches, from entry-level
timepieces you can buy for a few hundred dollars,
all the way up to the multi-million dollar timepiece,
and everything in between.

SUMMER
2011
By Keith W. Strandberg
With summer arriving this month,
it’s time to break out the seasonal
essentials – shorts, swimsuit, flip
flops, that great summer book, the
suntan lotion and...a great new watch.
Summer is certainly the most open season,
style-wise, so the choices you have are varied and
across the board, from a serious sports timepiece
to a fun, colorful, design-oriented watch to an
elegant, dress piece.

Rough, Rugged
and Ready
The all-round watch, one that can be
worn anywhere, from the boardroom
to the surfboard, is the perfect place to
start with a finer watch. Many people
think that a more expensive watch has to
be treated with kid gloves, but all-round
sports watches are built to withstand
just about anything. Water resistant,
shock-resistant and made with the best
materials (surgical grade stainless steel,
titanium, carbon fiber, sapphire crystal
and more), do what you will to these
timepieces, they can take it.
Fashion and Fun
Summer is the perfect time to wear a
colorful and fun watch. Rarely serious,
fashion watches are inexpensive
enough to try on a whim and trendy
enough to wear all summer long.

Sporty and
Outdoor
If trekking, climbing, surfing,
diving or even jumping out of
a plane is on your calendar
this summer, there are great
watches built specifically for
the demands of these activities.
Dive watches, for example, are
required to have at least 200
meters of water resistance, but
some go to 500 meters, 1,000
meters and even deeper. If these
watches can go down so far,
they should be able to withstand
the shower, the swimming pool
and the occasional foray into
the hot tub.

Simple
but Cool
One serious trend is towards
simpler, classical timepieces,

In life, complications are usually

they are a very good thing

In application, there are some
fantastic complications on the
market that make watches true
feats of mechanical artistry.

Art for Art’s Sake
For centuries, the humble timepiece has been a
canvas for a variety of traditional arts – miniature
painting, enamel, lacquer, marquetry, engraving,
mosaic – and more. For almost a century these
very particular watchmaking crafts almost became
extinct as they lost popularity. Thankfully,
now these arts are back in force, as several key
companies have made it a point to keep the arts,
and the artisans, from fading into extinction.

Summer is a time to experiment with different watches, different looks. Where you

Mechanical Watches
to Get You Started.
High quality doesn’t have to be high priced.
For many people, a watch is a watch, a
necessity, something to simply tell the time.
For those who understand how and why a
mechanical watch works, a finer timepiece is
something completely different.
Rather than just a watch, it is so much more –
hand-crafted, extremely technical, special, a tiny
engine on the wrist that needs interaction and input
from you to continue running.

THE
PRICE OF
ADMISSION
By Keith W.
Strandberg
A mechanical watch, whether hand wound or
automatic, relies on a mainspring to provide the power
to run. Like an old-fashioned wind-up toy, you have to
wind your watch; but unlike the toy that whizzes across
the floor in seconds, the watch has to control the pent
up power so it tells time precisely. The challenge for
a mechanical watch is controlling and regulating the
energy in the mainspring over the course of hours and
days. Every mechanical watch is really an amazing
feat of engineering and miniaturization. The simplest
movement has over 100 parts, while the most complicated
watches can have more than 1,000.
Introducing new people into fine watchmaking
is a tough business, however, as many people don’t
understand why anyone would pay more than the bare
minimum for a watch. But, once you understand the

of watches, so they are paying
increased attention to the
opening price segment, offering
high quality watches featuring
mechanical movements.
These watches are not bare
bones, however, they are welldesigned
timepieces with great attention
to detail. Companies know
that if the entry-level mechanical
watch isn’t interesting enough,
the timepiece won’t capture these
entry customers.
The Watches
Many companies have really well
made entry-level timepieces, using
established, proven movements.
You can’t go wrong buying any of
the watches pictured here. These
watches, with a little bit of attention,
regular service and care can
conceivably run forever.
While being really great
timepieces, the goal of these entrylevel
mechanicals is not just to be a
reliable watch and serve your needs
well. No, it’s also to seduce you into
the love of fine timepieces.
The next step? To go up
the ladder of watches, to finer
timepieces, more complicated
movements, to begin to build a
collection of watches that reflects
your taste and personality.

could have stemmed
from the moment when
women started borrowing their

started to appear in watch cases

as a result of the amazing sales

which increased the perceived
value of hand-crafted mechanical
timepieces over quartz.
However it happened, women

Five nights a week, muay Thai matches draw thousands

MIGHT OF THE IGUANA • OPPOSITE, GEORGE CERA IN FRONT OF A MURAL; ABOVE, THE IGUANA’S JAWS; AND, RIGHT, ITS PREY
“ THERE’S A
JUVENILE MALE
HALFWAY
UP THAT
STRANGLER FIG,”
says animal control professional George Cera as he brings
his golf cart to a stop and points into a grove of trees. I
follow Cera’s fi nger but once again fail to see what he’s
zeroed in on. With clinical swi ness, he uses a single
pellet to dispatch the lizard, which is about the size of a
professional-scale football. We walk over to fi nd a lifeless
ctenosaura similis or spiny-tailed black iguana.
“I kinda hate to do this,” he says as sweat beads on his
sun-reddened pate. “But it’s a manmade problem, and
trying to stop it from ge ing even more out of control
is just the right thing to do.”
The stocky, 275-pound Cera places the animal
in a cooler with two others he corralled earlier
with similar de ness.
“Ge in’ hungry?” he asks. “One more like that and we’ll
have enough for lunch.”
This is Boca Grande, a small community on beautiful
Gasparilla Island in southwest Florida. It may not
look like it, but the town is the front line in a desperate
defense of Florida’s native fl ora and fauna against
invasive species. The spiny-tailed black iguana is just
one of around 400 nonnative animal species known
to be lurking in Florida’s dense, verdant undergrowth.
Burmese pythons, lionfi sh, Nile monitors, feral hogs
and rhesus monkeys have all made Florida their home,
wreaking varying degrees of environmental havoc. Last
year, keeping the lid on invasive animals and plants cost
the Sunshine State more than $500 million. By some
estimates, that fi gure will rise dramatically.
According to Kristina Serbesoff -King, Invasive Species
Program Manager at the Nature Conservancy, Florida
is a victim of its location. “About half of the Florida
peninsula experiences a subtropical climate,” she says.
“This allows for a year-round growing season, meaning
that nonnative plants and animals that have invasive
characteristics thrive here.”
The spiny-tailed black iguanas on Gasparilla Island,
for instance, descended from just a few exotic pets that
were accidentally released in the late 1970s. The man who
did so ’fessed up in 2008, several hundreds of thousands
of dollars into the eradication program.
Alien species’ success is almost always at the expense
of native plants and animals that can be wiped out
with alarming speed. Serbesoff -King says that a er
direct habitat destruction, invasives are the greatest
cause of listed species decline. But what fi nally stirred
Boca Grande residents into hiring a trapper wasn’t the
rapid degradation of the local biosphere, says Cera,
but the prolifi c amount of iguana excrement—
iguano?—piling up in their driveways, around their
pools and in their a ics. The exclusive island paradise
had been befouled.

“When I showed up, I was like, ‘Man, you got a bigger
problem than lizard poop,’” says Cera as we careen along
golf cart tracks that run alongside the road. “There were
hardly any fl owers, no birds were singing, a total lack of
young gopher tortoises, fewer anoles than you’d expect,
and almost every snake I came across was all tore up.”
Here’s why: Ctenosaurs are the jocks of the iguana
world. Not only do they hold the Guinness World Record
for being the planet’s fastest lizard—having been
clocked at 21.7 mph—they’re also more physically robust,
omnivorous, cold resistant and aggressive than your green
pet store iguana. While last year’s uncharacteristically
frigid Floridian winter depleted many invasive reptiles,
the burrowing black spiny-tail rode out the cold snap and
seems intent on staying.
A er quickly assessing the extent of the problem, Cera
“ THEY CAN
RECOGNIZE ME,”
HE SAYS OF THE
IGUANAS. SO HE

CONTROL FREAK • GEORGE CERA LEADS THE WAY THROUGH DUNES AND FINDS DOZENS OF LIZARD LAIRS
put in a bid of $20 per head, beating out around nine other
trappers. An initially unpopular and protested “iguana
tax” was set at between $40 and $70 per every $1 million in
home value. With at least a quarter million dollars hiding
out in the brush, Cera soon found a place to stay on the
island and went to work.
“If this was two or three years ago, we’d have seen
around 50 large adults by now,” says Cera as he scans
some of the iguanas’ favorite haunts. “There are still a lot
of lizards out there, but I think that individuals who have
reproduced are the ones who have that gene for being
leery, and they’ve passed that gene on to their young.”
In addition to being a trapper, Cera is also an amateur
scientist, brimming with theories about evolution, the
Earth’s age and, most colorfully, the cognitive abilities of
his cold-blooded nemeses.
“They can recognize me,” he says, collecting another
kill from beneath some palm fronds. Lunch is becoming
more substantial.
Cera is so confi dent that these iguanas have the
capacity to recognize individual humans that he has
changed clothing during hunts to lull them into a false
sense of security. Another, more easily verifi able trick
he plays on the ctenosaurs is casting a fi shing line into
the undergrowth, using a rubber frog as a lure.
“I reel in that frog along the ground and a few of ’em will
chase it,” he says. “You can count on them being hungry and
aggressive pre y much all of the time.”
At the peak of his operations, Cera was culling up to
500 iguanas per day. The work was starting to take its toll.
“At the beginning it was diffi cult to deal with what I was
doing,” he says. “See, I’m really just a big animal nerd.”
Cera does not look like a nerd of any kind. He looks,
well, like a tough-guy biker—bullish, with a wiry goatee
and shaved head. At his core, he’s always been an animal
lover—who loves to eat wild game.

GEORGE CERA MEETING WITH THE LOCALS ON BOCA GRANDE; AND VISITING HIS GIRLFRIEND, CINDY CRESPO, AT A LOCAL SHOP
“I don’t believe in killing for sport,” he says. “I always
tell my kids, if you’re gonna kill something, you’d be er
be planning on eating it.”
The people of Central and South America have used
the iguana as a food source for centuries, referring
to it as gallina de palo or “tree chicken.” (Beyond the
supposedly similar fl avor, the ctenosaur’s mannerisms—
head bobbing and cocking—are uncannily henlike.) The
lizard was so important to the diet of Central and South
Americans that the Catholic Church long ago reclassifi ed
the iguana as a fi sh, permi ing its consumption on
Fridays and religious holidays.
“When I read that, I thought, ‘What a waste,’” says Cera.
“I’d been just throwing them away. I started to compile
recipes that I found and fi gured out some stuff of my own,
basically substituting iguana meat for chicken.”
The recipes, along with some observations about
invasive iguanas became a book: Save Florida, Eat an
Iguana! that Cera wrote and self-published.
Not content to let me take his word on how delicious
iguanas can be, Cera calls up the South Beach Bar and
Grille to see if the chef would be up for lending his
gastronomic fl air to the fi ve lizards we now have on ice.
The chef has recently found success with beer-ba ered
“gator wings” and is more than happy to research other
novelty items for the bar menu.
Cera hands the catch over to the eager chef, and soon
lunch arrives in the form of ctenosaur tacos. Even in
among the cilantro, papaya and shredded queso, my
senses are relaying that I’m not eating chicken. It’s quite
delicious, though I’m slightly relieved that the chef chose
not to serve it on the bone.
A year or so a er Cera arrived on Gasparilla, native
birds like scrub jays begin to return, and the gardens are
in full bloom. Locals who were less than welcoming to
Cera at fi rst even went so far as to off er personal apologies
for how they’d treated him when he fi rst arrived. In fact,
his program may have been too successful. The USDA is
planning to take over and study the remaining population,
and the town is considering discontinuing his services.
Cera thinks this is a mistake.
“Here’s the reality: At some point you have to stop
studying them and start killing them,” says Cera. “And we
passed that point a long, long time ago.”
The discussion in Boca Grande is whether governmental
organizations or private contractors like George Cera are
more eff ective at keeping invasive species’ numbers in
check. Kristina Serbesoff -King and her colleague, Dr. Meg
Lowman, think that the best results will be achieved when
both are working in concert.
“Private contractors are integral to invasive control,” says
Serbesoff -King. “They have worked hand in glove with
agencies throughout Florida. Yes, they are being paid to
implement control eff orts, but they are also sharing their
lessons learned with the larger group.”
Serbesoff -King is the cochair of the Florida Invasive
Species Partnership, fl oridainvasives.org. The website is
a way for information on invasive species to be shared
and acted upon in Florida. It’s proved a useful tool
in protecting Florida’s natural species. “The way that
people have been coming together to help combat this
problem has helped keep me thinking positively about
the task ahead of us,” she says.
As we thread in and out of opulent neighborhoods on
Cera’s golf cart, we catch occasional glimpses of the USDA
truck, eliciting resigned head-shaking from him.
“If they get about six iguanas, they consider it a good
day,” he says before waxing poetic on the federal takeover
of a once private enterprise. “The days of the cowboys,
pirates and explorers are gone. What am I to do?”

CHICAGO
CHICAGO’S A TOWN OF MANY MONIKERS—Windy City, City of
Big Shoulders, Second City and, as poet Carl Sandburg wrote, “hog butcher for the
world.” While each speaks to the city’s history as an industrial powerhouse led by
fast-talking politicos, none of these nicknames does justice to Chi-town’s cleanness,
greenness or top-notch culinary scene. Exploring the patchwork of neighborhoods
and expansive outdoor spaces will give you a sense of the city’s past, present and
future. It’s an understated—and quintessentially American—megalopolis, where
Midwestern hospitality meets big-city worldliness. Spend a few days wandering
around and you won’t just want to stay longer—you’ll probably want to move here.

DAY 1 | This is not a trip on which to count calories, starting
with breakfast at local favorite Original Pancake House (1). The
enormous, fl uff y, oven-baked omelets and the loaded baked
apple pancake are house specialties—you’re on your own to answer
the age-old question of sweet or savory. Fortifi ed, you set
out to explore the Gold Coast (2). Once home to the city’s steel
magnates and retail tycoons (along with Abraham Lincoln’s son),
this has been a posh neighborhood since soon a er the Great
Chicago Fire of 1871. Feel the lake breeze and dri into posh boutiques
such as Shrine haberdasher and the Euro-inspired Sarca,
as well as more well-known brands such as Marc Jacobs.
Journeying south, you eventually hit the Magnifi cent Mile,
Chicago’s shopping mecca, marked by the Water Tower (3). One
of the only structures to survive the fi re, this building looks like a
fairytale castle, and to fashionistas it kind of is. Familiar clothing
outlets like J. Jill and Lacoste line the shiny interior alongside
the shimmering storefronts of several jewelers.
Take a quick diversion off of Michigan Avenue for lunch at
Portillo’s Hot Dogs (4). The Chicago-style dogs—with pickle
relish, hero peppers, chopped tomato, onions, mustard and a
pickle spear on a poppyseed bun—are delicious. An equally good
choice, though, is the heartier Italian beef sandwich with hot
and sweet peppers, served au jus. The thinly sliced roast beef and
roasted sweet peppers melt into the now-soggy bread, with the
hot peppers and giardiniera (Chi-town’s
signature mix of pickled veggies) adding
just the right amount of kick.

You roll yourself out of the restaurant grateful that
your next activity involves si ing and amble southeast
to the Chicago River for the Chicago Architecture
Foundation’s boat tour (5). Cruising down the waterway,
you’ll get a who’s who of great architects—Mies van der
Rohe, Daniel Burnham and Charles B. Atwood, to name
a few—who masterminded career-defi ning structures
to make their mark on the city. The volunteer guides,
mostly practicing or retired architects, also spin the
fascinating tale of how the city fathers rebuilt very
deliberately a er the Second Industrial Revolution–
era fi re, creating parks and beachfront all around the
bustling downtown.
Ninety minutes later, you step off the boat with a
great appreciation for the city’s past. Ready to learn
about its present, you make a quick stop at the Chicago
Cultural Center (6). Regulars come here for the
expertly roasted Intelligentsia coff ee and WiFi, but
stick around for the rotating art exhibits, mostly the
work of local artists.
Check into the Elysian Hotel (7), a posh, almost
unmarked villa set back from the street to make you
feel as if you’re escaping the city for a night. Take a
few minutes to explore your massive room and soak
in the view from the balcony. The roo ops below are

your crispy trout. A er the meal, you
stroll through the park, taking time to
check out the Green City Market (3), a
massive farmers market with vendors
selling a host of locally grown or produced
goods, from carrots to cheese to
wheatgrass juice. Sipping a healthy brew,
you wander past Lincoln Park Zoo, home
to 1,200 species and an antique carousel.

buildings of Lincoln Park. You dri into
independent book and music shops (remember

neighborhood is so beloved by locals. The

Part of the reason you’re in Chicago
is the storied deep-dish pizza. Uno’s and

tell you that Lou Malnati’s (4), with
its light, fl aky “Bu ercrust” topped with

THE CENTER FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone on bone osteoarthritis of the left
knee. An X-ray showed arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving
treatments at The Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray
on the right).
This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic
cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well
as several other modalities including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in
order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition
and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to
6 treatments to improve. There is usually no down time, and people can go back to
their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal
problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash,
sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

In Clinical Trials, the HairMax LaserComb effectively
treated hair loss in an incredible 93% of the
people who used it. It’s the only device to
receive Class II Clearance from the FDA. It uses
laser that safely energizes and nourishes your
hair and stimulates growth. Use it just 3 times a
week and in as little as 16 weeks, you’ll notice
visible results. See for yourself why the HairMax
LaserComb has been hailed by Time Magazine
as one of the “Inventions of the Year”.

TRAVEL ASSISTANCE FOR DELAYED OR CANCELED FLIGHTS
At United Airlines, our priority is safety and keeping an on-time schedule.
On occasion, canceling or delaying a fl ight is the only option to assure we
maintain the highest safety standards.
Flight canceled? We automatically confi rm you on the next United fl ight

travel standby and aren’t boarded, we will transfer your name to the next
United fl ight to your destination until you are onboard.
What about my bag? Baggage is boarded on the next fl ight if space is
available. This means your bags may arrive before you. United will secure
the bag until you claim it. See a baggage claim representative.
What if I have to stay overnight? If a fl ight is canceled to address a
mechanical issue or another similar reason within our control, we will

THE HEMI Q&A: Louis C.K.
» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 48
“ If you take reason and logic out of a
statement and leave in the passion and
confusion, that’s really funny to people.”
though I’m not as famous as most of the
other guests on the show. It’s usually
a big star that opens, and then I get a
few minutes of people going, “Who is
this guy?” It’s not the end of the world.
I know there’s success beyond that if
you can stay cool, if you can keep your
confi dence and keep your heart rate low.
Like boxing.
HEMISPHERES: You do a bit of boxing
yourself. You used to train with Mickey
Ward, the guy who inspired The Fighter.
C.K.: Mickey is such a decent person. He
boils all these mythical things people are
addicted to—like making your dreams
come true and being The One, the
American Idol stuff —into a lesson about
hard work, responsibility and things like
courtesy and decency.
HEMISPHERES: Do you think that part of
the reason you’ve had so much success
is that you’re willing to say unspeakable
things aloud? Like how you have absolutely
no interest in single people because
their lives have no stakes? Or how unfair it
is when your daughter makes up her own
hide-and-seek rules, because it’s clearly
just cover for how bad she is at the game?
C.K.: Comedy is a license to remove reason
from a situation. If you take reason
and logic out of a statement and leave in
the passion and confusion, that’s really
funny to people.
HEMISPHERES: You seem more bemused
about contemporary life than angry.
C.K.: I never think of myself as angry. I’m
open to any idea. I want to be in a state
of constant reanalysis of everything,
because life’s more interesting that way.
Once you make judgments and rules for
what you’ve decided to believe, you’re
missing out on discovering things you
might not have any idea about.
HEMISPHERES: You say amazingly funny
stuff about your kids, but it can be savage.
I assume audiences let you get away with
142 JUNE 2011 • HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM
it because they believe you are actually a
kind, loving father.
C.K.: I’ve done sets where people tell me
that those bits work because they just
know what a good dad I am. And I’m like,
“How do you know that?” But look, both
of my kids know that I talk about them
onstage. Most of my act is not okay for kids,
but I’ve told them some of the bits that I do.
HEMISPHERES: Do they think you’re funny?
C.K.: They do. But the reason why they
think it’s funny when I rail and yell
about them onstage is that it’s not what
I’m really like. If I screamed at my kids at
home and then joked about it, it would
be horrible for them. Also, my kids and
I are honest about what’s tough in life.
We’re able to laugh about it. We’re not all
polite in the house.
HEMISPHERES: So are you their boss
or are you their pal?
C.K.: I don’t believe in this idea of the godlike
power of a parent, because it doesn’t
really help kids in the end. I give my kids
their day in court and let them talk to me
about what we’re dealing with. I always
tell them that crying ain’t going to get
you there, and saying ‘please’ fi ve times
isn’t going to get you there, but if you
have a reason, I’ll listen. They don’t o en
fi nd a way to change my mind, but I do
think it’s worthwhile to let them sharpen
their ability to reason.
HEMISPHERES: Your show on FX got
renewed for a second season. That must
feel pretty good.
C.K.: I see everything as a challenge, but I
don’t see anything as a reward. I just see
it as an extra challenge. I work out with
boxers when I’m really trying to get in
shape for standup. When I did my fi rst
special, Shameless, I worked with this
boxing trainer in L.A., and I told him that
this was my title fi ght, the big one. And
he said, “No, your big one isn’t your title
fi ght. It’s your fi rst defense of your title.”
HEMISPHERES: Meaning when you’re the
challenger no one sees you coming, but
when you’re the champ, everyone does.
C.K.: That’s right. The fi rst time you go
out there to defend your belt they know
what you’re capable of and they’ll throw
everything at you. Right now, FX has
said, “Yes, the show works, go ahead and
do it again.” But I still think of it as a
challenge. Can I sustain the show? Is it
still going to be good? Is it worth watching
more than 13 times? Can it be be er?
And if it’s not, there’s absolutely no one
to blame but me. I get an enormous
amount of help from everybody on my
crew, but these are my decisions. If the
show stinks it’s precisely my fault.
HEMISPHERES: So, let’s have a little speed
round. Least favorite kind of heckler?
C.K.: Selfi sh ones. Dumb hecklers are
just being dumb, but selfi sh hecklers
want to suck up all the a ention.
HEMISPHERES: If you’re having a night out
for fun, what is it?
C.K.: I am a night out, so when I have
time to relax, I usually just stay home.
HEMISPHERES: Are there things that
are always funny and things that
are never funny?
C.K.: If something was always funny
I’d be a billionaire. And I don’t believe
there’s anything that’s never funny.
HEMISPHERES: The funniest person alive?
C.K.: I doubt it’s a comedian. It’s probably
some guy in a rice paddy somewhere in
Vietnam who keeps his fellow workers
laughing as hard as they can all day.
HEMISPHERES: Or maybe it’s just a
determined car mechanic from Boston.
You know, some guy just wrenching
away and dreaming that some day he’ll
take over the world. But that could never
happen, of course.
C.K.: Of course not.
DAVID CARR, who covers media and
culture for The New York Times, always
seems to laugh at the wrong time when
other people tell jokes.

bout, Tee U.S. is relaxing in Kratumban,
a rural village about 20 miles outside of
Bangkok surrounded by fragrant mango
fi elds and orchid farms that stretch to the
horizon. There’s a muay Thai camp there,
and when I arrive at 9 a.m., a half-dozen
boys are already kicking at heavy bags,
exchanging sharp elbows and punches
in a battered boxing ring beneath a
corrugated steel roof and executing onehanded
pushups in the heavy morning
air. The boys, aged 14 to 20, have hardangled
baby faces and work with almost
military precision, the smacks of leather
and grunts of labor ringing out into the
surrounding fi elds.
Meanwhile, in a small room nearby,
Tee U.S. soaks idly in the tub. Ordinarily,
the star of the camp would be out there
training with his fellow fi ghters, but he’s
saving his strength for what promises
to be the most important match of his
young life.
He emerges from his bath, shirtless,
in a pair of blue gym shorts, climbs
into the now empty ring and lies on
his rippled stomach as the other kids
mill around. Trainer Nakorn Nankell, a
big-faced, small-framed man who used
to be a fi ghter, rubs him down with an
astringent-smelling liniment oil. Tee
U.S., all skin, bone and muscle, weighs
110 pounds. He must get down to 105 by
the time of tomorrow morning’s weighin.
“The oil provides heat,” he says. “It will
help me to lose weight.”
As is the case with many young muay
Thai fi ghters, Tee U.S., whose nickname
was inspired by his love for America,
was discovered in his local Buddhist

temple, where he began fi ghting at the
age of 9, in the northern farming region
of Isaan. Fights are held regularly in
these holy places, which function like
neighborhood YMCAs in rural Thailand,
and scouts from Bangkok are always
eager for recommendations from monks
and neighborhood trainers. Tee U.S. was
one of these. He le home when he was
14, moved here and began rising toward

HE SAYS.
professional status, honing the elbow
a ack that would become his trademark.
Like the other fighters, he sleeps
in a small communal room next to
the practice ring, with wooden pallets
serving as beds and the fl oor doubling
as dining quarters. The accommodations
are spartan, but nobody
seems to mind. The older kids mentor
the younger ones, both in how to fi ght
and how to behave outside the ring.
At times, the younger athletes seem
more like contented sleep-away
campers than professional fi ghters.
The mood is light, but the stakes
for the impending bout are high,
and the outcome will have financial
ramifi cations that ripple well beyond
Tee U.S. If he wins, he’ll split his
payment, which will be at least $1,300,
with Orasa Chueam, a slender and
attractive woman who manages the
camp (one of 5,000 across the country)
on behalf of her family. He’ll also get
a little sweetener in the form of a big
party thrown by Orasa in his honor.
A er paying off his debt to the camp,
he’ll split the remaining proceeds with
his family. Tithing to parents is a Thai
tradition, even among the wealthy.
Of course, Tee U.S. doesn’t come from
money. Since he started fighting, his
family members have relied on his
winnings to survive.
If he wins this match, his purse for
the next fi ght will likely increase by 50
percent. If he keeps winning, it can go as
high as $5,000 per match. But if he loses?
No party, “and his fee for the next fi ght
goes down,” Orasa says.
As one of the camp’s breadwinners,
it would be understandable if Tee U.S.
were a little nervous. He’s not. “I’m
looking at it as just another fi ght. If I
get too excited, I might make mistakes,”
he says. But it’s hard to resist getting
worked up. “Fighting in Bangkok was
my dream,” he says matter-of-factly.
He’s had about 300 fi ghts, around 1,500
punishing rounds, but doesn’t even
know his record. “A er winning the belt,
I’ll begin keeping track.”

ike most people involved in muay
Thai, the promoter Songchai
fought his way up. “My family was
very poor, and, as a boy, I was sent
to live with the monks in the temple,”
he says, si ing in his street-level offi ce,
which is sandwiched between a pair
of large homes that he owns. “I began
as a fighter, but I saw no future in it.
So I began promoting.” Known for his
keen eye, integrity and ability to match
competitive fi ghters, Songchai has spent
the last 30 years promoting bouts in
Bangkok’s two big stadiums, Lumpini
and Rajadamnern, including tomorrow
night’s bout featuring Tee U.S. Adorning
his office is a pair of altars devoted to
Buddha, a wall-size dry-erase board on
which he keeps track of upcoming fi ghts
and four vases that each contain one
fighting fish. “Put these fish together
and they a ack the cheeks, necks, and
eyes,” says Songchai, admiringly. “They
fi ght to the death.”
I run into him at 6 the next morning
inside the arena, where the evening’s
fights will take place. Asked who he
likes in the title match, Songchai hedges
at first, then finally ventures that Tee
U.S. has a be er than 50 percent chance
of winning. As an ace matchmaker in
Bangkok, Songchai knows the fi ghters
as well as he knows his own children. He
spends afternoons scrutinizing them,
observing their form, finding holes
in their strategies. There are no fans
around this early in the morning, but the
stadium is full of anxious young fi ghters

TOO EXCITED,

MISTAKES,” SAYS TEE
U.S. BUT IT’S HARD
TO RESIST GETTING
WORKED UP.
in boxer shorts preparing to weigh in.
Tee U.S., who still needs to trim down,
spends 90 minutes tro ing around the
arena, careful to fi nd a balance between
losing weight and preserving energy for
his match tonight. More running, more
sweating, more liniment oil all combine
to send him to the scale with a sense
of confidence. He steps on gingerly,
watches the diode numerals settle in
at exactly 105. He suppresses a smile
and poses for the local photographers.
Catching his eye, I ask him what he will
be doing this a ernoon. Before he can
answer, his trainer fi res back, “Eating!”
hrough much of the fight, Tee
U.S. seems to be in control. By
the third of fi ve rounds, though,
the momentum shifts. Slowly,
grindingly, Chai takes the lead. Now
he’s the one landing more punches

and connecting with his feet. His
combination of strength and youthful
endurance work in his favor. By the fi h
and final round, Tee U.S. is in trouble.
Chai comes at him with a series of kicks,
which catch him in the chest and head
with wicked accuracy. As the round
winds down, even Tee U.S.’s mighty
elbows seem to be of li le use. He loses
in a decision.
Five minutes a er the fi ght concludes,
I spot a dejected-looking Tee U.S. standing
alone backstage by the dressing room. He
wears a gold-colored robe; his gloves are
off and his hands have been untaped. I
ask him how it feels to leave Rajadamnern
without the championship, without the
big party. “Win or lose, I feel the same,” he
says, a bit unconvincingly, demonstrating
a no-regret a itude, the Thai version of
manning up. He keeps rolling his head
from side to side, fi dgeting as if he can’t
wait for the conversation to end. He insists
that there is nothing he could have done
to turn things around. “It must go one of
two ways for each of the fi ghters, and I
don’t feel bad about it.” Chai was bigger
and younger, he says. Tee U.S. was not
aggressive enough. The fans ra led him.
By the time we’re done talking, he’s forcing
a smile and planning his future. “I take
a break for three or four days,” he says.
“Then I’m back to work, ge ing ready
for my next fi ght.”
Whether he wins or loses, MICHAEL KAPLAN,
the author of three books and countless
articles, always feels bad after a fi ght.

THE LEADERS IN
TM
CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
U.S and foreign patients travel to the world renowned Brown Hand Center TM across America,
inventors of The Brown Procedure® Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release and leaders in Hand/Upper extremity care.
OPEN CARPAL TUNNEL
First described in 1947
NORMAL tissue layers are sliced through in
order to divide the transverse carpal ligament
Stitches for closure of wound
Often, a painful scar results that can be permanent
Recovery can take 6 weeks to 6 months or NEVER
Considered by many to be antiquated, The Brown Procedure
has been reported to be “treatment of choice”
Since 1988, BROWN HAND CENTER has been the destination of choice for patients from around the world who expect world-class comfort and care.
BROWN HAND CENTER is where The Brown Procedure was developed and where so many published medical journal articles originated, answering
questions others could only ask. BROWN HAND CENTER is the leader in carpal tunnel treatment, as well as all problems affecting the hand and upper
extremity, such as arthritic joint problems, injuries and secondary reconstruction, replantation of amputated parts, and congenital birth deformities. When
possible, the approach is minimally invasive to reduce patient pain, suffering and recovery time. The Brown Endoscopic Trigger Release (BETR) is another of
the many innovations from Brown Hand Center used to treat a common problem, trigger finger. Similar to The Brown Procedure, The BETR utilizes two
tiny skin openings to insert instrumentation (designed by Michael G. Brown, MD) to divide the A1 pulley, rather than cutting through normal tissue
layers. This “minimally invasive” approach at BROWN HAND CENTER has allowed countless thousands of patients to return to normal activity in a
relatively short period following an outpatient procedure. Many have returned home, thousands of miles away to other countries, the following day.

At BROWN HAND CENTER, we maintain a philosophy of respect and kindness that guides everything
we do. Often taken for granted, as we take our sight or hearing for granted, the hands are among the most
complex parts of the body and loss of use is sorely missed and irreparable damage may be sustained if
specialized care is not received. We want you to receive specialized care from the beginning, not just after
a complication.
BROWN HAND CENTER physicians, specialists in hand and upper extremity care, are available 24/7.
From children born with congenital birth deformities, sports injuries, to arthritis and other intrinsic
diseases of the hand...Brown Hand Center’s Hand and Microvascualr surgeons are LEADERS IN NOT
ONLY HAND, BUT ALSO WRIST, ARM, ELBOW AND SHOULDER PROBLEMS. The emphasis
is always on a minimally invasive approach, when possible, to minimize discomfort and recovery time.
BROWN HAND CENTER’S ideal is to make available to all the specialized care of a highly skilled and
trained hand/microvascular surgeon and to help others understand this specialized field. BROWN
HAND CENTER’S message is seen in television and magazine ads worldwide.

You’ve got to market

Real People. Real Dates.
Navigating today’s complex
dating scene can be daunting,
and busy professionals often wonder who to
turn to for advice. We sat down with It’s Just
Lunch dating expert PJ Osgood to discuss
the difficulties of dating for singles on the go.
Here’s some of the savvy advice she gives to
her clients.
Why is dating so challenging these
days for career-focused singles?
Let’s face it—dating is challenging for everyone!
Throw a demanding professional or family life into
the mix, and you can understand why someone
hires IJL. Dating feels difficult because time is
valuable, and it isn’t easy to efficiently manage
a fruitful dating life. With our help, clients go out
on dates with someone who already meets their
essential requirements. That way, the only thing
left to be determined is the chemistry.
What type of person uses
It’s Just Lunch?
Clients come to me because the process
of finding someone on their own can be
overwhelming. Meeting people through family,
friends, or online requires a lot of time and
often doesn’t deliver results. Instead, they join
IJL because they are ready to be proactive and
want to take a professional approach to finding
their compatible match.
So, that’s why they come to IJL?
To meet their match?
Absolutely! Our clients come to IJL because they
have reached a point where they want to find
someone special. They hire us as results-driven
dating specialists. People hire professionals
to handle so many aspects of their lives, so why
not use a professional to help you find someone
special? We are matchmaking professionals
—this is what we do day in and day out. We take
a personal approach and remain objective.
A successful love life for our clients is our goal.
What really differentiates IJL from
the other dating options out there?
My clients look to me as their personal dating
headhunter. At IJL, we meet with our clients
face to face and identify the key characteristics
they are looking for in a match. We learn what
has and hasn’t worked for them in the past and put
a positive plan in place. Then we introduce them
to other like-minded singles in a casual, lowpressure
first date setting where they can truly
be themselves. Because in the end, it’s just lunch!

UNITED’S DISTINGUISHED MASTER SOMMELIER AND MASTER OF WINE
Wente Vineyards Morning Fog Chardonnay 2009 Livermore Valley – while
morning fog is a feature in the vineyards of the eastern Bay Area, with
or without that fog, that part of the California coast cools off precipitously
at night and that cooling provides otherwise fat Chardonnay with
refreshing acidity. Such crispness lends itself to many different foods, as
the wine doesn’t overwhelm the food, but the food doesn’t overpower
the wine either.
