Our best headphones. Since we introduced the world’s
first noise cancelling headphones over 20 years ago, we
have conducted continuous research to improve this technology.
Now, we have engineered significant advances
in noise reduction to make the QC ® 15 headphones our
quietest ever. Exclusive Bose technologies electronically
sense more of the sounds around you, reducing more
noise across a wider range of frequencies. And we didn’t
stop there. We developed an ear cushion that further
reduces unwanted noise and helps create an extremely
comfortable fit. It works in harmony with the electronics
to deliver a better listening experience. Mark A. Kellner
of The Washington Times says they “reproduce music with
extreme clarity, fidelity and definition.”
Quieter than ever before.

Welcome to an even quieter world.

headphones.
Try them for yourself risk free. When you fly, the
engine roar fades even further away. When you listen to
music at home or at work, fewer distractions get in the
way. Less noise, along with our acclaimed lifelike sound,
a fit that stays comfortable for hours and the quality you
expect from Bose. It all adds up to a combination of benefits
unmatched in the industry. Seth Porges of Popular
Mechanics states that “Compared to the competition…the
QC15s are vastly superior.” You can relax and appreciate
music, movies or just some serenity more than ever before.
We invite you to try QC15 headphones for yourself risk
free for 30 days. And when you call, ask about making
12 easy payments, with no interest charges from Bose.*
We’re so sure you’ll be delighted, we’ll even pay to ship
them to your door.

While writing, editing and photographing “Hive Minded,” our August 2010
story about Philadelphia’s beekeepers, a lot of jokes were made about
the “buzz” surrounding the topic. One even made it into the story. But
in truth, we did create some buzz, such as this email Julie Albright sent
to photographer Keliy Anderson-Staley. “I was on a United plane this

Ready for Takeoff
MERGER WITH CONTINENTAL CREATES
NEW UNITED AIRLINES.
I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE the on-time
arrival of the new United. This month,
we expect to close our merger with
Continental Airlines, having received
approval of stockholders from both
companies on the 17th of September
as well as completion of a thorough
review from the Department of Justice.
This is great news for our
employees, our stockholders and you,
our customers.
For our customers, changes will be
apparent over time. For now, you will
continue to book tickets and check in
just as you always have with either
Continental or United—we will not
be set up immediately to handle each
other’s customers, as that will take
time. You will earn and redeem miles
as you always have, and your miles
will be safe and unaff ected. In the
coming months, as we begin to fully
integrate our companies, there will
be changes as we improve our
product and service, pulling the best
from both of our companies.
That’s really what this merger is all
about: bringing together the best of two
great airlines. With this merger, we have
the best people and the world’s best
network, focused on providing you with
the best service to 350 destinations,
connections to 1,000 destinations
through our Star Alliance partnerships
and access to more than 69 lounges
across our combined network.
The path leading to this merger
has not been an easy one for our
industry, our company, our people or
our shareholders. In my eight years
with United, we have weathered
skyrocketing oil prices, natural
disasters and a devastating recession.
During these tumultuous years we
have restructured our company, taking
it from bankruptcy to industry-leading
on several fi nancial and operating
metrics—and now we are back as a
global leader.
Through it all, we focused on

doing the work and making the right
decisions to guarantee United would
be well-positioned to succeed. We also
focused on putting our customers
fi rst, ensuring, as best we could, that
you were not directly impacted by our
challenges. So many of you have been
with us every step of our journey and
continue to stand by us.
On behalf of all of us at the new
United, we thank you for your business
and for your support. We know you
have choices when you fl y, and we never
take for granted the fact that you have
chosen United when you could have
done otherwise.
Closing our merger is one
important step on a longer path—
and now that journey continues
as our two companies can begin to
work together to create the world’s
leading airline for our customers, our
employees and our shareholders.
Let’s fl y together.

Everyone Looks
Good in Pink
UNITED SHOWS SUPPORT DURING BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH.
IF YOU SEE A UNITED EMPLOYEE sporting pink neckwear or
a pink hat, it’s because he or she is showing support for
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
By wearing pink items throughout the month of
October, our employees become visible symbols of our
support for those battling the disease and those working
to fi nd a cure.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer
in women in the United States, after skin cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS),
an estimated 192,370 new cases of invasive breast
cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women
in the United States this year. An estimated 40,170
women were expected to die from the disease in 2009
alone. Today, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer
survivors living in the United States.
United’s corporate involvement with organizations
that raise awareness and provide critical care and
support to individuals and families stricken with the
disease by this disease has become a signifi cant part of
our portfolio of giving. During National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month, that support will help promote
breast cancer awareness, share information on the
disease and provide greater access to screening services.
Customers and employees can also support the cause
at any time throughout the year by making a donation
of Mileage Plus Miles to Breast Cancer Network of
Strength at united.com/charitymiles. Through the
generosity of our customers, more than 128 million
miles have already been donated to help individuals
fi ghting cancer receive the treatment they need.
We hope you will join us and continue to show
support for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Walk, donate, educate and wear your pink proudly!
For more information about Breast Cancer Network of Strength, visit networkofstrength.org. Peer counselors can be emailed or
contacted at 800-221-2141, with interpreters available in more than 150 languages.

The United
Continental
Merger
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?
For the immediate future, we are operating as two separate
airlines, and you can expect to interact with us as you always
have. But you will gradually start to see changes as
we work to create the world’s leading airline.
THREE THINGS FREQUENT
FLYERS SHOULD KNOW
Members of United’s Mileage Plus
program and Continental’s OnePass
program will continue to have excellent
mileage-earning and redemption
opportunities, and elite members will
enjoy special recognition as a result of
their status.
At a future date, the two frequent
fl yer programs will be combined into
one. Until then, we’ll continue to
operate both programs.
Members of either program currently
have the ability to earn and redeem
miles on either airline’s fl ights.
Both airlines are members of Star
Alliance, providing further frequent
fl yer benefi ts.
LET’S FLY TOGETHER
Located around the world, the people of
the new United Airlines will be focused
on delivering the high-quality service
our customers expect. The company
will emphasize a “Working Together”
culture that creates an environment where
employees enjoy coming to work, treat
each other and customers with dignity and
respect, and deliver great service.
A NETWORK LIKE NO OTHER
The new United will have an unparalleled
global route network with comprehensive
service to six continents—North
America, South America, Europe, Asia,
Africa and Australia. In total, 10 hubs
will provide travelers with convenient
connections wherever they need to go.

OUR COMBINED
AIRLINE BRINGS
TOGETHER THE
BEST OF BOTH
COMPANIES.
A PLACE TO RELAX
Global travelers have special needs,
including having a place to work and
relax at the airport. United Red Carpet
Club and Continental Presidents Club
lounges provide comfort and amenities
that help business travelers be more
productive at 69 locations worldwide.
The current reciprocal privileges for
members of the two programs will be
enhanced in 2011 with the introduction
of a single, unifi ed membership.

NOTES FROM ALL OVER
ON A WARM MANHATTAN MORNING, visitors to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art seek shade in an unlikely place:
the roof. There, thousands of 30- to 40-foot bamboo poles
have been lashed together to create a monstrous, 50-foot-tall
wave cresting toward the lush canopy of Central Park. Inside,
visitors wander tentatively through a shaded network of
ramps that wind, rise and fall through the piece. At the
northern edge of the roof, the wave opens suddenly outward,
surprising explorers with a commanding view of the George
Washington Bridge in the distance.
Named for the 1972 Cheech & Chong album Big Bambú, this
is the Met’s latest roof installation. Like an actual forest, it will be in constant fl ux until it is dismantled in late
October, with close to a dozen rock climbers brought in from New York’s Shawangunk Mountains adding
new growth to it daily. This morning, only one climber is clipped in, lashing poles together with nylon
climbing rope, using a combination of clove hitches and square knots.
The artists behind Big Bambú, identical twins Doug and Mike Starn, have a knack for bringing the great
outdoors into unnatural environments. Their last New York installation, See it split, see it change, transformed
Manhattan’s South Ferry subway station into a late fall scene of bald tree branches and dead leaves. But
nothing they’ve done previously has been on the scale of the 5,000-square-foot Bambú.
Near the exit, visitors sit propped against some of the installation’s 5,000 poles. The Starns, who are
wearing matching shorts, are fi nishing each other’s sentences. “We never dreamed how joyful it would be to
work on it,” says Doug. “...when you’re up there really high, working on the edge,” continues Mike. En route
to the exit with her family, a nature-starved New Yorker approaches the brothers. “Thank you,” she says,
placing a hand on Doug’s shoulder. And then again, in great earnest, “Thank you.”—SHONQUIS MORENO

hot dog cart and stand
owners that he founded fi ve
years ago.
“How about this: ‘The
nation’s college for encased
meat knowledge’?” he asks.
“Nah, not tasty enough.”
This course on franks
combines tips on marketing
and purchasing with
practical training on the
North Side, at a hot dog cart
outside the Vienna Beef
factory, which has partnered
with the school. Among
other secrets, students
learn to heat dogs to no
higher than 150 degrees to
prevent a rubbery texture,
and that all utensils should
be red or yellow, to evoke
toppings.
The class begins, and the
25 students take their seats.
Since Reitman opened his
doors, the student body
has grown from 18 his fi rst
year to an expected 140
dispatches
this year. One student is
Peter Lin, who plans to set
up a cart in Philadelphia,
where there’s an abundance
of cheesesteak but few
Chicago-style dogs. He
works for a company that
makes equipment for the
pharmaceutical industry;
it saw business drop by 50
percent last year.
“I feel like I have to
diversify,” he says.
Then there are some
students who are simply big
fans of the frank.
“It’s a fun business,”
whispers Steve, who is
diligently taking notes in his
spiral-bound notebook. His
day job is in asphalt. “People
are generally in a good mood
when they’re around food,
and what’s more fun than a
frank?”
Student Julie Dyne takes
a big bite of a dog loaded
with onions, mustard, hot
peppers and neon green
relish. The course requires
a student to eat a dangerous
amount of dogs, but Dyne is
philosophical.
“I’m having a salad,” she
says. “I’m putting lots of
relish on it.”—EMILY STONE
MOUNT HOOD, OREGON
Shine a
Light
What’s the best-selling souvenir
in the gift shop at Timberline
Lodge? Visitors to the WPA-era inn
perched just beneath the summit
of Oregon’s Mount Hood don’t
go for the Timberline toothpick
holder or porcelain dinner bell—
both of which are charming in
their own way. They want the black hooded sweatshirt
silkscreened with the maniacal visage of Jack Nicholson
shouting “Here’s Johnny!”: a still from Stanley Kubrick’s
1980 classic, The Shining. Never mind that Kubrick fi lmed
almost the entire movie on a soundstage in England.
Because the fi lmmaker spliced a few seconds of aerial
footage of Timberline’s facade into The Shining’s ominous
opening sequence, Oregon’s mountain home away from
home remains a mecca for horror movie fans.
“I really like that when I watch The Shining, I see the
lodge,” says Timberline assistant general manager Scott
Skellenger. “It’s the fi rst thing you see in the movie, so in
people’s minds, this is the hotel The Shining was fi lmed in.
They come in here thinking some little kid’s gonna be riding
a trike down the hallway, someone with an ax is gonna
come fl ying through the door.”
Which makes Timberline a natural destination for
Halloween revelers. Two years ago, Nike rented the entire
lodge and threw a Shining-themed costume ball for several
hundred guests who dressed up in ’20s formal attire. They
mingled with actors recreating scenes from the movie,
including a Jack Nicholson look-alike who sat at a table
typing “ALL WORK AND NO PLAY…” all night.
Still, wouldn’t you expect a 75-year-old hotel to be
haunted by spirits less benign than a few die-hard horror
movie buffs?
“I lived for twenty-some years of my life at Timberline,
and I can assure you there are no ghosts,” scoffs lanternjawed
employee Jeff Kohnstamm. And he should
know: Like the Overlook Hotel’s Jack Torrance, he’s the
Timberline’s caretaker.—TED KATAUSKAS

HAMBURG
LOVE BUGS
On a Wednesday night in
August, Hamburg’s gritty
Reeperbahn is buzzing.
Inside the Indra Music
Club, it’s so hot the walls are
damp with condensation.
Close to 300 people, young
and old, have crammed
into this historic venue for
a concert by Beatles tribute
band Bambi Kino.
Beatles tribute bands
may be as common as
actual beetles, but this is
no ordinary show. Exactly
50 years ago to the day,
in this very club, the lads
from Liverpool started the
musical journey that would
make them the biggest
band in the world. It was
the fi rst of The Beatles’
nearly 300 gigs in dark
rooms on Hamburg’s “Sinful
BEIJING
Hard Top
Mile.” Over two and a half
years, the Fab Four played
all night shows and slept on
cots in a storeroom in the
back of the nearby Bambi
Kino Cinema.
To mark the anniversary,
New York musicians Ira
Elliot (Nada Surf), Doug
Gillard (Guided By Voices),
Mark Rozzo (Maplewood)
and Erik Paparazzi (Dirty
Delta Blues) are performing
four shows at the Indra.
The city of Hamburg is
also hosting a wider Beatles
celebration that includes
live shows at the
Beatlemania museum,
walking tours and the
Reeperbahn Festival, which
hosts rock bands all along
the notorious strip
At the Indra, the
excitement is building.
The odd mop-top shakes
in the shadows. Someone
lets out a McCartney-esque
falsetto wail. Bambi Kino
takes the stage and shouts
through a set list that The
Beatles might have played
on August 18, 1960—songs
such as “Money,” “Kansas
City/ Hey Hey Hey,”
“Honey Don’t” and “Long
Tall Sally.” When the
band fi nally takes a break
and the crowd settles,
bassist Paparazzi takes a
minute to refl ect on the
occasion. “The importance
of The Beatles’ time in
Hamburg cannot be
overstated,” he says, taking
a sip of water. “Music owes a
huge debt to this city.”
—CAMPBELL JEFFERYS
In the thriving artists’ community of Chaoyang, among the decommissioned military
factories that are evidence of a former industrial era, a crowd surrounds a slate-gray BMW
Z4 that appears to have sprung from the cobblestone street.
At fi rst glance, the ashen sports car looks like the genuine article—albeit one with an
unusual paint job. It is exact in detail, right down to the glass windows and the BMW logo
on the hood. But upon closer inspection, the weight of the thing becomes apparent. The
coupe, sculpted by Chinese artist Dai Yun, is composed of stone bricks, and it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
To add to the mystery surrounding the sculpture, Anni Ma, director
of the Anniart Gallery, which represents Yun, covertly moved the
petrifi ed car outside and waited for passersby to notice it. “When
I decided to put the BMW on the street, I expected people to be
interested, but not this kind of fascination,” she says.
The roadster has also earned Yun more attention than expected. One
visitor snapped pictures and posted them to a car enthusiast blog, and
before long the Telegraph and The New York Times picked up the story.
For Yun, the work of art is no mere stunt, but a statement on
civilization. “Brick was a popular building material our ancestors
were familiar with in a farming society,” he says. “In contrast, the
automobile is a symbol of industrialization and the modern way of
life. I hope the combination of these two things may evoke people’s
thoughts on the two different types of civilization.”
Whether the crowds have made that leap or are just imagining
a new kind of gridlock, the car itself is a nod to the mother of
transportation: The fi rst wheel was made of the same material.

Planting

WILL ALLEN’S GROWING
POWER PUTS HEALTHY FOOD
ON EVERY PLATE.
BY LEAH DOBKIN
WHO • WILL ALLEN, 61
MISSION • To promote urban gardening,
particularly in low-income neighborhoods
where people might not otherwise have
access to fresh and healthy food. “I want
to be part of the revolution that changes
how we grow, distribute and eat food so
that the process is healthier for people
and the planet,” Allen says. He started
Growing Power—a greenhouse complex
that cultivates organic food and teaches
people how to produce their own—in
Milwaukee in 1993. He also operates farms
in Chicago and rural Merton, Wisconsin,
and has teamed with Michelle Obama’s
program to fi ght childhood obesity.
MOTIVATION • “Food doesn’t just sustain
our bodies—it can heal them,” Allen says,
adding that wealth shouldn’t dictate
access to healthy food. By teaching
people how to grow organically and close
to home, he is also helping to cut down
on fuel emissions from transportation,
thereby reducing pollution. “Much of our
soil is contaminated,” he says. “One of our
challenges is not just to grow healthier
food, but to grow healthier soil.”
HOOP DREAMS • Prior to his career as an
urban farmer, Allen played in the
American Basketball Association and
professionally in Belgium between 1971
and 1978. When he retired from the
sport at age 28, he did a 15-year stint in
marketing at The Marcus Corporation and
Procter & Gamble before going back to the
land. “I was raised on a six-acre farm,” he
says. “I went back to my roots to start a
farm in Milwaukee to keep my hands in
the dirt.”

JAMES DYSON’S NEW FAN LOSES THE
BLADES AND SHOOTS THE BREEZE.
BY JACQUELINE DETWILER
THE FIRST TIME YOU SEE DYSON’S NEW AIR MULTIPLIER,
you will want to stick your hand through it. Go
right ahead. Just as traditional fans have inspired
generations of kids to impersonate space aliens
(“Taake mee tooo youur leeeeaderrrr…”), this one—
which dispenses with the conventional machine’s
most menacing design fl aw, the whirring blade—
may inspire a new pastime: outright gawking.
The sleek machine’s inventor—vacuum
visionary James Dyson—was inspired to
revolutionize the home fan because he found the
traditional motor’s clunky design and chopping
noise aesthetically unpleasant. “It’s completely
wrong to have the motor up at the top, with all
the dust being passed through it,” he says. “I use
fans a lot in France in the summer, and they’re
really annoying if you’re trying to sleep with one
on you, or you’re trying to work or cook.” So he
fashioned a fan with a motor in the base, which
shoots air over a miniature version of an airplane
wing to amplify it 15 to 18 times. The result is a
surprisingly powerful, silent column of breeze
that uses the same force that lifts aircraft.
Dyson, whose company fi led the secondhighest
number of patents in the U.K. last year,
says the idea came to him when he was solving
yet another problem: ineffi cient bathroom hand
dryers. His team was developing the Airblade, a
commercial dryer that uses a 400 mph sheet of
air to essentially scrape water from the skin, when
they noticed that the fast-moving wind sheet was
drawing a substantial amount of the surrounding
air into the stream. The rest is fan history. After
months of testing, during which engineers set up
lengthy domino chains of prototypes and sucked
balloons through them to check the fans’ strength,
a desktop version of the Air Multiplier was
released last October.
Since then, Dyson has released a standing fan
and an oblong version with even more power. The
only drawback is no more alien voices. But we’ll
bet that somewhere in that pile of Dyson patents
there’s a solution for that, too.

MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM’S LATEST
NOVEL IS A TENSE LOOK AT
GALLERY LIFE. BY MOLLY ROSEN
MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM, WHO won the Pulitzer
Prize for his 1998 novel, The Hours, tends to
begin his books blindly. “I just go marching
in with a vague idea,” he says. “Then I see
where I want to go.”
His latest novel, By Nightfall, is no
exception. It introduces us to Peter Harris,
a fortysomething Manhattan-based art
dealer in the throes of an existential crisis.
On the outside, Harris has everything—a
Soho loft, a 21-year marriage and a collegeage
daughter in Boston. But when Harris’
recovering addict brother-in-law Mizzy (short
for “mistake”) comes to visit, Peter sees just
how fragile his perfect world really is.
Inspired by Thomas Mann’s Death in
Venice, Nightfall is a family drama, but it’s
also an exploration of gallery life. “It’s about
a search for something transcendent,” says
Cunningham. “I’m old-fashioned like that.”
To learn about the Manhattan art scene,
Cunningham spent a few days hanging
out in a gallery. “I was surprised by what a
business it is,” he says. “That’s part of what
Peter is so disillusioned about. Art that is
equal parts aesthetics and car dealership.”
Even so, Cunningham refuses to become
just another jaded, ironic author writing
about the tragically fabulous lives of
creative Manhattanites. “I’m embarrassingly
uncynical,” he says with a laugh. “A lot of
the books I read are pessimistic and over it,
but I’m not over it.”

THE NEW BENTLEY CONTINENTAL SUPERSPORTS CONVERTIBLE IS AS PRETTY AS
IT IS PRICEY. AND WE WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. // BY JONNY LIEBERMAN
SNAKING THROUGH COLORADO’S ROCKY
Mountains, the San Juan Skyway might
just be the most physically stunning road
in the country. Starting in the celebritystudded
town of Telluride and winding
through Durango and Silverton, the
road reveals snowcapped 14,000-foot
peaks, red-streaked rock formations,
green prairies with big brown bison and
Ralph Lauren’s sprawling ranch. There
are very few automobiles that can stand
toe to toe with such a mesmerizing
road. One of them is the 2011 Bentley
Continental Supersports Convertible.
The topless Supersports is the latest
and greatest version of the Bentley
Continental platform, fi rst off ered to
the public in 2003. Under the hood,
a 6.0-liter, twin-turbo W12 produces
an astonishing 621 horsepower (up
from 556) and an equally shocking 590
pound-feet of torque (up from 553).
A NON-SURGICAL TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT
AGAINST ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES
Located at 9573 Harding Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, The Center
For Regenerative Medicine includes a team of professionals that
are dedicated to improve your quality of life, paving the way to
enhance the science of non-surgical orthopedic medicine. World
champions, sports legends, professional and amateur athletes,
dancers, and people with just plain pain and arthritis go to The
Center For Regenerative Medicine for non-surgical orthopedic
care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of
successful cases have been treated over the past nine years.
Supercar numbers, without question.
Supercar stats, too: The Supersports
rockets to 60 mph in an elite 3.9
seconds, and its top speed (not
recommended) is 197 mph with the
three-layer roof tucked away. With its
top up, this big brute tops out at 202
mph (defi nitely not recommended).
Either number makes this the fastest
four-seat convertible in the world. And
the two turbochargers feed enough air
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.

Double Play
FOX SPORTS ANNOUNCERS JOE BUCK AND
TIM MCCARVER AREN’T JUST THE ODDEST COUPLE TO
CALL THE WORLD SERIES, THEY’RE ALSO THE HAPPIEST.
BY ADAM K. RAYMOND // ILLUSTRATION BY BARRY BLITT
TIM MCCARVER IS SEARCHING for the perfect
word. He’s telling a story about the fi rst
time he met Joe Buck, his partner in
the Fox baseball broadcasting booth,
and he’s fallen silent. He just fi nished
recounting the day in the 1970s when,
as an aging catcher in the twilight of his
career, he fi rst saw a three-foot oddity
running around the clubhouse.
“I asked someone who the funnylooking
kid was and they said, ‘Oh,
that’s Jack Buck’s son,’” McCarver
says, referring to the legendary St.
Louis Cardinals announcer. “He had
this head on him that looked just like
a watermelon. He had a watermelon
sports
head sitting on top of a…on top of a,
uh…” As McCarver searches for the
right word, a grown-up Joe Buck, now
41 and one of the most successful
members of the baseball broadcasting
club, leans in with particular interest.
His head, as it sits on his body today, is
no longer abnormally large.

“He had a watermelon head sitting
on top of a cucumber body,” McCarver
fi nally blurts out before being
overtaken by laughter. Buck looks at
him sideways and says, “I never knew
what a deformed child I was.”
Thirty-fi ve years later, this odd
couple is preparing to man the
microphones at the World Series for
the 13th time—Buck as the play-by-play
man, responsible for recounting the
action on the fi eld, and McCarver as
the color man, adding illustrations and
folksy elaborations along the way.
Right now, it’s July, and the All-Star
Game is minutes from starting. Buck
and McCarver are engaged in the
pregame ritual of hair, makeup and
banter. Buck puts on his headset and
checks the mic in the voice of a 1920s
CALL OF THE WILD
Baseball’s three greatest broadcasting moments
1951: When New York
Giant Bobby Thomson,
who died in August, hit “The
Shot Heard ’Round the World,”
above, announcer Russ Hodges
could say only one thing: “The
Giants win the pennant!” So he
said it over and over…and over.
1960: When Bill Mazeroski
hit the fi rst walk-off home
run to end a World Series, the
only person more excited than
Maz was Chuck Thompson,
who screamed, “Back to the
wall goes Berra…it is…over the
fence! Home run! The
Pirates win!”
detective. “Hellooo, folks. Welcome to
the ballpaaark.” McCarver chuckles
and shakes his head. “I love it when
he does that,” the old catcher says.
McCarver is 28 years older than
Buck and a much more commanding
physical presence. One look at the two
men and it’s not hard to tell who spent
21 seasons as a catcher in the major
leagues and who was an English major
at Indiana University. A producer
counts down, the camera fl icks on, and
they’re underway.
For more than a decade, to baseball
fans across the country, the sound
sports
“It’s like driving a Lamborghini,” says Joe Buck
of working with Tim McCarver, his broadcasting
partner. “I’m not afraid to say that I love the man.”
1988: Two announcers react
to Kirk Gibson’s game-winning
shot in the World Series: Jack
Buck is incredulous (“I don’t
believe what I just saw!”),
and Vin Scully is poetic
(“In a year that has been so
improbable, the impossible
has happened”).
of Buck and McCarver at the start
of a game is the surest indication of
important baseball. And for McCarver,
who has a shock of red hair, this
season’s Fall Classic will be his 21st
as a color man.
That sort of devotion has led to
moments of clairvoyance, like when
McCarver called the game-winning hit
of the 2001 World Series between the
New York Yankees and the Arizona
Diamondbacks before it happened.
“It was the bottom of the ninth
inning,” McCarver says, “and Joe
Torre had pulled the Yankees infi eld
in.” Calling the game from the booth,
McCarver said, “The problem with
bringing the infi eld in against a guy
like Rivera is that left-handed hitters
tend to get a lot of broken-bat hits to the
shallow part of the outfi eld.”
And that’s exactly what happened.
The D-Backs won.
“That’s the best moment in the
history of broadcasting,” Buck says.
“I’ll never forget it.”
McCarver was 17 years old when
he joined the St. Louis Cardinals in
1959. He eventually called games for
the Mets, Yankees and San Francisco
Giants before landing at Fox. Buck’s
career also started with the Cardinals,
where he called an inning on his 18th
birthday, a surprise gift from his father,
who walked out of the booth and told
his son to start talking. “It was the
worst inning of play-by-play in the
history of broadcasting,” Buck says.
In some ways, McCarver has
replaced the late Jack Buck as Joe’s
father fi gure. He gives the younger
Buck career and life advice. They
behave more like poker buddies
than coworkers, constantly needling
each other and never passing up an
opportunity to tell an embarrassing

story. Ask them what it’s like to work
apart, as they do about a dozen times a
season, and they gush.
“When you’re not with the best, you
miss it,” McCarver says. Buck jumps
in. “It’s like driving a Lamborghini and
trading it in for a Pinto,” he says. “Tim’s
always in my foxhole. I’m not afraid to
say I love the man.”
On the surface, Buck and McCarver’s
“bromance” seems unlikely. They come
from diff erent eras, but the generation
gap usually works to their advantage.
“I think of Tim like a really, really older
brother.” Buck says, causing McCarver
to let out a rumbling laugh before
falling forward and slapping his knee.
“If I reference a Foo Fighters song, Tim
won’t know what I’m talking about.”
“No idea,” McCarver says. “But I like
that. Joe keeps me young.”
McCarver’s reference points lie in the
’60s and ’70s, when he was shuffl ing
around the country as a catcher for the
Cardinals and Phillies. Things were
a little tougher for players back then.
That’s why McCarver gets so upset if
he sees a player loafi ng. He’s no fan of
showboating, hot-dogging or strutting,
either. And quitters? McCarver once
called Manny Ramirez “despicable” for
“refusing to play” while in Boston.
During games, Buck’s banter fl ows
between pop stars and pop-ups. His
dry humor is one of his hallmarks.
BUCK THE SYSTEM President Obama joins
the duo during the 2009 All-Star Game; and,
left, at St. Louis’s Busch Stadium in 2008.
“Baseball can get monotonous, and
there’s a redundancy inherent to
broadcasting the game,” he said. “If you
watch a pop fl y hit to second, do you
really need me to tell you there was a
pop fl y hit to second?”
Not everyone is a fan of their approach.
They have large anti-followings online
who ridicule their every broadcast. But
neither seems to care.
“Not all of that stuff is bad,” McCarver
says. “It’s good to see what people think
of your performance, even if they don’t
like it.” But he’ll admit he’s happy that
ShutUpTimMcCarver.com, a website
that chronicles his “McCarverisms,”
hasn’t been updated in almost fi ve years.
The anti-Buck sites remain more
active. Popular sports blogs like
Deadspin and Awful Announcing have
made ridiculing Buck a recurring
feature. Surprisingly, Buck doesn’t
sweat it, and though at times he’s
defended himself online, he says he’s
also paid heed to his critics.
“I’ve grown from it,” Buck says. “For
example, I listened in particular to
the criticism about how I try to be too
funny. I thought the person had a good
point, and I’ve tried to tone it down.”
In the booth at least. Sit down
with him and McCarver for an hour
and the jokes fl ow as liberally as the
compliments. But again, this is how
two men engaged in the throes of a
bromance behave. Right, Tim?
“I don’t know what that word
means,” he says. And Joe smiles
knowingly.

WITH THE HIGHEST ECONOMIC GROWTH RATE IN THE NATION,
TEXAS IS ON A ROLL. IS IT TIME TO START TALKING ABOUT THE

an offi ce building on East Main Street

polo shirts with a corporate logo. If you

It’s Bob Cook’s job to help them make
that decision. Cook, 50, is the president
of the El Paso Regional Economic
Development Corporation. He starts
his spiel. He talks about the more than
a billion dollars in recent bond issues to
build parks, museums and libraries. He
mentions that 24,000 new personnel
are being deployed to the local army

medical school built in the United
States in the last 25 years. The state’s
infrastructure is excellent. Labor is
cheap. Personal income tax is zero. The
regulatory environment is businessfriendly.
At the climax of his pitch,
Cook hits them with an inspirational
quote from Conrad Hilton, the hotel
magnate who began his empire nearby.
“There is a vastness here,” Cook
says, channeling Hilton, “and I believe

56
OCTOBER 2010 | UNITED.COM
that the people who are born here
breathe that vastness into their soul.
They dream big dreams and think big
thoughts, because there is nothing to
hem them in.”
Everyone knows that Texas is big.
Lately, however, Texas has begun to
grow into its big reputation where
it really counts: the piggy bank. The
state has one of the largest and fastestgrowing
economies in the country.
Aaron Demerson, the executive
director of Governor Rick Perry’s
Economic Development and Tourism
Division, off ers a long list of the state’s
achievements: Texas is home to the
corprate headquarters of 57 Fortune
500 companies, more than any other
state; it is the top state in export
revenues, with more than $160 billion;
from January to July of this year, Texas
gained 168,900 jobs; and it’s the only
state among the 20 largest in the nation
to have maintained a net gain in jobs
over the past four years.
It should come as no surprise,
then, that people are moving to Texas.
The state’s population increased by
around 480,000 in the latest census
fi gures, and the cities of Dallas and
Houston were numbers one and two,
respectively, in population growth for
American cities last year.
The state is decidedly urban,
with more than 80 percent of the
populaton living in cities. “Without
a doubt, Texas has the strongest freeenterprise
economy of any big state,”
says Joel Kotkin, a noted scholar
of urban development and a fellow
at Chapman University in Orange
County, California. “And the Texas
economy is based on private sector
growth, not an infl ux of public money.”
Not everyone is so bullish on the
state. There are those who warn that
Texas will have a hard landing if its
priority remains business. Still, there’s
a broad consensus among corporate
leaders, journalists and academics on
what’s driving the Texas economic
juggernaut: strong energy prices,
low housing costs, a government that
encourages economic activity and great
public relations.
According to Dana Johnson, the
chief economist for the Dallas-based
bank Comerica, Texas hasn’t been as
aff ected as the rest of the country by
the recession. Job losses didn’t begin
until late 2008, he says (the national
recession began in December 2007),
and Texas started growing again in
mid-2009. One reason for this is the
relative health of the energy sector.
“The strength in energy prices
Lately, Texas has begun to grow into
its big reputation where it really counts:
the piggy bank.
was giving a nice push to the state
economy,” Johnson says. “That gave
way last year, when energy prices fell in
the recession. But they’ve come back.”
It has also helped that Texas didn’t
experience a housing boom and bust.
Today the median home price in Texas
is just $154,400, says Jim Gaines, an
economist at Texas A&M’s Real Estate
Center, compared with over $200,000
for other high-growth states like
New York and California. “Another
reason we are not a high-cost housing
state,” Gaines says, “is the regulatory
involvement. Texas is notorious for
hands-off government.”
Which brings us to the businessfriendly
attitude in the Texas state
capital. “The governor has made
jobs and economic development the
cornerstone of his administration,”
says Demerson. “We just think there
is a Texas way to do things that bodes
well for us.”
In addition to its cattle and its
bootmakers, Texas is famous for
having no income tax, no individual
capital gains tax, and very little
regulation beyond federal mandates.
Plus, tort law reforms have accorded
corporations better protection against
massive lawsuits. Tracye McDaniel,
who worked in economic development
for the past three Texas governors—
the Democrat Anne Richards and
Republicans George W. Bush and
Perry—says business development is
a priority across party lines.
“It’s been consistent,” says McDaniel,
now the executive vice president of the
Greater Houston Partnership.
Others have noticed. For the past six
years, Texas has been named the top
state for economic development in a
survey of corporate leaders conducted
by Chief Executive magazine. “The Texas
attitude is considered good,” says J.P.
Donlan, the magazine’s editor-in-chief,
“and the quality of the workforce is
considered good.”
In fact, Texas has been the recipient
of a fl ood of good publicity recently,
including a highly infl uential piece
in The Economist. “Texas has all the
advantages of being a lean and mean
red state,” says Christopher Lockwood,
The Economist’s U.S. editor, who wrote
the piece, “with all the cool of a blue
state in the cities.”
So why is State Senator Eliot
Shapleigh so worried? Shapleigh, a
fi fth-generation El Pasoan, says there’s
another side to the Texas miracle. Last

industry
57
year, he produced the fourth edition
of his “Texas on the Brink” report,
which chronicles the problems he
says are caused by what he views as
Texas’ lack of investment in education,
the environment and healthcare.
The report paints a dire picture.
Texas is dead last out of 50 states in
percentage of population over 25 with
a high school diploma; 46th out of
50 in SAT scores; fi rst in uninsured
children; third in the percentage of the
population living below the poverty
level; and fi rst in toxic chemicals
released into the water.
Lucy Nashed, a spokesperson
for Perry, writes in an email, “Texas
has continued to fulfi ll its commitment
to public education by holding high
schools accountable for graduating
college- and career-ready students
and emphasizing an education in
the science, technology, engineering
and math fi elds.”
Is Texas going to dominate the
American scene the way New York did
in the fi rst half of the 20th century and
California did in the second half? That
remains to be seen. The state could
be undone by too much regulation
from Washington, too little regulation
from within, taxes that are too low, or
taxes that are too high, plummeting
oil prices, or a growing population of
immigrants without access to proper
education and other resources.
One thing most observers seem to
agree on: There’s an energy in Texas
these days. If the state can avoid the
pitfalls and build on its strengths, its
opportunities are tremendous. If not,
there are plenty of other regions of the
country waiting to take its place.
“This is why I love America,” says
Lockwood, who happens to be an
Englishman. “There is always a new
model, a new way to expand, and it
seems to me that right now Texas has
that in spades.”
New York–based writer EDWARD LEWINE
is pretty sure his state still dominates the
American scene.

THE MEGACITY OF MUMBAI has no shortage
of restaurants. In fact, there are an
estimated two million of them, even
some top-fl ight options, such as
Morimoto’s excellent Wasabi, and
Ziya, which serves nouvelle Indian
cuisine and is run by Michelin-starred
chef Vineet Bhatia. But in a city that
can feel overwhelming, sometimes
diners crave simple, tasty food. In this
region of India, that means going to
a middle-class venue specializing in
thali—robust fare that’s home-cooked
and served on big silver platters also
called thali.
Few restaurants have mastered the
art of the vegetarian thali meal like
Panchavati Gaurav. Located in the
heart of south Mumbai, between a
recently spruced-up Art Deco cinema
and the no-nonsense Marine Lines
business district, where wholesalers
hawk everything from bicycles to
custom eyeglasses, Panchavati mostly
serves the area’s buyers and sellers,
as do the handful of other nearby
thali restaurants, such as Rajdhani
and the quaintly named Friends
Union Joshi Club. They all off er 25
to 30 preordained dishes to satisfy

You eat what you get, but it’s okay
because you’re in able, experienced
hands. And while there’s no question
that the explosion of culinary options
in Mumbai has cut into the popularity
of the thali—especially among the
affl uent youth, who don’t want to be
seen at the restaurants where their
parents dine—Panchavati’s owner,
Rahul Chandak, isn’t worried. “Our
food is tasty and consistent, with
no unpleasant surprises,” he says.
“There’s something to be said for the
familiar.”

The masses who fl ow in on
weekdays are a testament to that. Late
Saturday afternoon, when there are no
crowds, is the best time to get the full
experience. A plate is placed on your
table no more than 15 seconds after
you take a seat, and the procession
commences: A small army of upbeat
servers ensure that the thali is fi lled
with silver bowls, which are constantly
topped off with an array of gravies,
curries, chutneys, pickles and sauces;
snacks, salads and desserts (often
fresh fruits in custard) are added to the
mix. You’ll get perfect tasting portions
of dal (lentils), kadhi (spicy yogurt
sauce), samosas (deep-fried dumplings),
pakoras (fritters) and vegetables such as
okra, yams and tomatoes. The empty
sections of the platter are fi lled with

roti (Indian fl atbread) moistened by
generous portions of ghee (clarifi ed
butter), then fortifi ed with a helping
of aromatic basmati rice. Wash it all
down with chaas, a buttermilk drink,
or sweet lhassi, and don’t let the fact
that the meal is vegetarian fool you—
this is not light fare.
The staff has a sixth sense for the
amount of food on your plate, and
the moment a server intuits that any
of the little silver bowls is running
low, it’s promptly replenished. Servers
hover unabashedly, off ering ever
more tamarind sauce or pickled
mango. If you say you’ve had enough,
they may look hurt as they walk
away. A safari-suited Chandak will
likely stroll up to the table in their
wake, greet you with a “Namaste”
and instruct a server to fi ll your
plate immediately while you look on
helplessly. Chandak makes sure diners
are served as if they were family, for
better or worse.
It was Chandak’s uncle, Radhakisan
Chandak, who started the eatery in
1982 and made customer service as
much a priority as good food. “Our
staff is trained to stay pleasant no
matter how busy it is, and to keep
smiling,” he says. “Our customers
have to feel good while eating, feel
pampered,” he adds. Part of that was
eschewing the look of thali house as
spartan space lined with creaking
wooden benches under whirring
ceiling fans, in favor of a loungy,
air-conditioned restaurant where
customers relax on couches while
soft Indian music plays in the
background. The change has helped
transform the thali houses’ image
as cafeterias for visiting traders—
mostly single men in search of homecooked
fare—into go-to lunch and
dinner spots for Mumbai residents of
every stripe.
“A good thali works nicely for a quick
business lunch or a meal with family,”
says Raj Singh, the creative director
of a large advertising agency who
has been a Panchavati regular for the
past decade. “It’s like an eat-all-youcan
buff et, but with pleasant people
serving you, urging you to eat as much
as you can.” It’s this gentle prodding,
the personal touch by the servers
that customers say they fi nd most
endearing about thali culture.
Another reason for Panchavati’s
success lies in the quality of the
ingredients its chefs use. While it has
become trendy for restaurants to tout
the local sourcing of their ingredients,
this is the real deal. The Chandaks
own wheatfi elds in a bordering state,
as well as fl our mills near Mumbai,
where they process the grain. They
grow all the spices used in the kitchen.
But, unlike the Michelin-starred
restaurants on the gastronomy

61
circuit that emphasize terroir and
the sanctity of their local produce,
Panchavati’s procurement methods are
not marketed aggressively. Using the
highest-quality ingredients is just
part of carrying on the family
tradition. And besides, true thali
connoisseurs are most interested in the
fi nished product.
“There are plenty of reasons why I
come back here almost every week,”
says Singh, while a waiter serves him
yet another helping of dal. “But the
most important one is that the food
always tastes amazing.”
Mumbai-based writer C.J. KURRIEN wishes
that all his food was served to him on a
silver platter.

Few people have
taken the concept
of recycling to
heart like Dutch
designer Esther
Derkx. Her whimsical Improved! crockery,
made by baking new patterns onto wellchosen
cast-off dishes in a ceramics oven,
is a bold aesthetic statement for the
green generation. “I got my inspiration
from walking around fl ea markets and
secondhand stores, when it occurred to
me that there were so many used dishes
being sold,” says Derkx, who’s based
in Utrecht. Improved! works, she says,
because she does it out of love, not as a
form of environmental penance. On one
plate, she has screen-printed an image
of a man doing yoga over the piece’s
original old-fashioned roses. Says Derkx,
“People see the humor of the fi gures that
are sitting on top of their grandmother’s
fl owers.” And that’s an improvement.

sometimes outrageous nexus of fun. Hotel and design entrepreneurs
Alex and Carrie Vik wanted to offer a quieter, more relaxing version

main building, courtesy of architect Carlos Ott, is fi lled with works by
international art stars like James Turrell and Zaha Hadid. The Monacobased

THE HEMI Q&A: BRIAN WILLIAMS BY DAVID CARR
The anchor of NBC Nightly News, the
top-rated news broadcast, is one of the
most powerful journalists alive. And just
wait till you taste his Minute Rice.
ILLUSTRATION BY JEFFREY DECOSTER
73
OCTOBER
2010

74
THERE’S A REASON BRIAN WILLIAMS’ REGULAR-GUY IMAGE IS SO EFFECTIVE. It
happens to be true. Yes, he makes about $10 million a year and he is just about the closest thing we
have to a Walter Cronkite. And yes, he lives atop the evening news ratings. But for all the plaudits
and the silky-smooth drop-bys on The Daily Show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Saturday Night Live,
the man is toweringly normal. Raised in Middletown, New Jersey, he didn’t seem destined for the
anchor desk. He attended three colleges without graduating—a deep regret now—and was on his
way to becoming a fi refi ghter when he landed an internship with the Carter administration.
That was followed by an early job in broadcasting in Pittsburg (without the “h,” in Kansas). After
a stint as a local reporter in Washington, D.C., he moved up to New York to work for WCBS. He
became the White House correspondent for NBC in 1994, and in 1996 he was chosen to anchor the
news on the nascent MSNBC. When Tom Brokaw retired in 2004, Williams slid into the network
chair without a hitch. NBC and Williams
have since won a Peabody for reporting
during Hurricane Katrina, which goes
nicely with Williams’ fi ve Emmys and
four Edward R. Murrow Awards, all of
which live in a room above his garage at
his home in Connecticut.
In the middle of the summer, we meet for
a hamburger (his favorite) in Manhattan.
Due to some confusion, Williams winds up
standing out in front waiting, accompanied
by a big, goofy golf umbrella—the only
thing handy at the offi ce.
“I’ve been standing out here with
this umbrella, looking like Mr. Peanut,” he
says. “People have just been blasting away
with their iPhones, taking my picture,
each one of them grabbing a bit of my soul.
They don’t say anything. They just take
the picture and move on.”
Inside, as we wait for a table, the
guy behind us makes a call. “I’m in line
with Brian Williams,” he says in a
stage whisper.
“I’m right here,” the anchor says,
turning. “I can hear you. Would you like
me to tell your friend that I am really me?”
He says all of this without rancor, just
amusement at the public dimensions of a
very public job.
OCTOBER 2010 | UNITED.COM
HEMISPHERES: Let’s get right to it. You’ve got a really good job,
you make a lot of money, and people actually care about what you
think. How did that happen?
WILLIAMS: I’m probably the least equipped person to
answer that. When we get back to the newsroom, I’ll show
you the picture of me standing outside of my fi rehouse. I was
two weeks away from taking the nighttime dispatch exam in
Freehold, New Jersey, because a buddy of mine had the night
shift, and I thought that seemed like a pretty good life. Then I
took a trip to Washington, D.C., and things changed.
HEMISPHERES: You became an intern for Jimmy Carter.
WILLIAMS: Well, he was president at the time, but I worked
in the building next door. He exerted no choice over my
selection. I did meet him once. I opened mail, I put letters
under a signature machine, got coff ee—everything an
intern is supposed to do. I was never a college student per
se. I went to a community college, failed miserably and
transferred to two other colleges. The most I can say is that I
was willing to take chances, and I was in no mood to give up.
And I’ve been the benefi ciary of good deeds by good people
all my life.
HEMISPHERES: Talent must have something to do with it.
WILLIAMS: Well, that’s in the eye of the beholder. I work in
the most subjective business on the planet.
HEMISPHERES: How do you like the job?
WILLIAMS: I love the job. I dreamed of the job. I consider
myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. The job is not
only writing and presenting, but having a say in what gets
covered and thus what gets reported to the largest single daily
audience for news in the United States.
HEMISPHERES: Your daughter graduated from Yale and your son
is in college. How did you teach them to value higher education when
it wasn’t necessary for you?
WILLIAMS: They grew up knowing their dad was a fl uke
who succeeded in an occupation where the ability to write a
good lead and fl y overnight to Afghanistan and get on
the air without rest is venerated more than knowledge of
long division. My parents had already educated three
children when my father lost his job at fi fty and the family
went through fi nancial ruin. I have worked since I was
fourteen. I’ve never stopped, and I’m proud of that. I had
two jobs, three at Christmastime until I was held up
selling Christmas trees. My parents made me stop selling
Christmas trees.

estuaries; opposite, with Dan Rather,

HEMISPHERES: Now your job involves sitting in a room staring at
a camera. How do you know you are connecting with the audience?
WILLIAMS: Because I’m not alone. Carl is behind camera one,
Barry behind camera two, Vito the stage manager is there,
too. When I can see Barry’s shoulders shaking because he is
laughing or they come around their cameras to watch a piece
on the monitor, I know we’re doing well.
HEMISPHERES: Cable news has changed signifi cantly since you
were on MSNBC. For one thing, opinion seems to be displacing news.
WILLIAMS: I have never, ever done opinion television, and I
won’t. I’ll retire without ever doing it. I don’t think anybody
is interested in what I think. I had a blast at MSNBC. We had
a great time. My executive producer is the president of NBC
News today. It was me and Steve Capus over there in Jersey.
HEMISPHERES: You know New Jersey pretty well.
WILLIAMS: I was driving Sunday with my daughter and
she said, “How do you know this little spur off of Route 46 to
hop back up onto the toll?” I looked at her and said, “I’m from
here.” I feel sad for the people who don’t know the 46 cut-off
from the Turnpike, who don’t know that last minute skootch
to get over and then how on the way back you may eat a few
cones to get into those nice EZ Pass lanes.
HEMISPHERES: What do you drive?
WILLIAMS: I have a Mustang, a black GT. I can probably buy
any car I read about in Road & Track, but I have a Chevy SUV
and a black Ford Mustang. I’m an American car guy, raised
that way. It’s what I want.
HEMISPHERES: What else do you do for fun besides cruise the
Turnpike in your souped-up Mustang?
WILLIAMS: I shouldn’t say this, because it will get my captain
in trouble, but I go over to Engine Twenty-three on the West
Side any night my wife is out and I don’t have to go home. I go

WILLIAMS: Until his recent troubles I would have answered
Lawrence Taylor, because in my view he changed the way the
game was played.
HEMISPHERES: Favorite NASCAR driver now that Dale
Earnhardt Sr. has gone to that big oval in the sky?

Dale. His death kind of changed the way I view the sport.

obscure presidential fact.
WILLIAMS: President James Garfi eld pined for squirrel soup
on his deathbed in the White House.

wife, what do you eat?
WILLIAMS: Chicken breast on the grill and Minute Rice that
I cooked.
HEMISPHERES: I’m not sure you want to brag about cooking
Minute Rice. Moving on, people would be surprised if they knew
you watched…
WILLIAMS: The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
HEMISPHERES: Favorite song by Bruce Springsteen?
WILLIAMS: “Valentine’s Day” I think is a masterpiece.
HEMISPHERES: Nice umbrella by the way, but I didn’t notice any
rain. You’re supposed to be a weather wonk.

When I was a child,
I believed that all British accents
were fake. I knew James Bond
was a made-up person (that
was confi rmed by my mother),
and while I’d met one real-life
Englishman—my geography
teacher—I was pretty sure he was
faking his accent to impress me.
The second he got home,
I imagined, he sighed with relief
and talked to his wife in a gardenvariety
American voice. >>>

Tourists in London tend to have similar suspicions. Is the
changing of the guard an actual military maneuver? Or is it
just a pageant staged for foreign children, like a Disneyland
parade? Do English people actually eat blood pudding
for breakfast? Or is it only served to foreigners at hotels,
as a kind of prank? Do Londoners really say “jolly,” or do
they just print it on their T-shirts? How much of “English
Culture” is real? How much of it is for show?
To fi nd out, I’ve come to Bond Street. According to my
guidebook, it’s a district so emblematically English that the
queen literally does her shopping here. (When a member
of the royal family holds an account at a store for at least
fi ve years, the business is declared a Royal Warrant Holder.
Bond Street has more of these than any street on earth.)
I encounter a smartly dressed couple laden with shopping
bags, and I cheerfully ask them to recommend some local
shops. “No inglés,” they say.
I start to get nervous. The guidebook promised
authenticity. Have I been had?
A tailor at Kashket’s confi rms my worst fears. “Oh,
tourists love tradition,” he jokes, launching into an
impression of a clueless American sightseer. “‘Ooh, I’ll have
the fi sh and chips!’”
I force a laugh, deciding not to reveal the fact that I
ordered fi sh and chips less than 30 minutes ago.
I consider returning to my hotel. My search for
authenticity isn’t going very well, and I’m starting to doubt
the freshness of the cod I consumed for lunch. But as I
wobble through the Royal Arcade, a covered alleyway on
Bond Street, a tiny shoestore catches my eye. There are no
Royal Warrants, but I can’t stop staring at the handstitched
merchandise: soft suede slippers, sleek black loafers, scaly
boots made out of various reptiles. The shop’s sign is written
in a cursive font so antiquated it takes me two minutes to
decipher it: “G.J. Cleverley & Co. Ltd.”
Cleverley’s is one of the last traditional makers of English
bespoke shoes. (“Bespoke” is a British term for “custommade,”
dating back to the days when shoes in progress were
said to “be spoken for.”) In order to make a perfect pair,
Cleverley sculpts a wooden model of a client’s feet, called a
“last,” and builds the shoe around it over the course of several
months. The Robb Report—an arbiter of all things luxe—has
called shopping at Cleverley “a religious experience.”
There are several bespoke
shoemakers in London, but
George Glasgow Sr. has never
worn a competitor’s shoe.
HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM | MONTH 2010
I walk into the quiet store, determined to give Bond
Street one last shot. The place certainly smells authentic:
The aroma of shoe leather hits my nose the moment I
enter—a smoky, buttery musk, as pungent as the beef in a
New York steak house.
I’m quickly greeted by a young proprietor named
George Glasgow Jr. His father is George Glasgow Sr., a
legendary shoemaker who took over the business from G.J.
Cleverley in 1991.
“You could write a whole book on my dad,” he boasts.
The younger George is handsome, enthusiastic and
hilariously well-dressed in a custom gray suit from
Anderson & Sheppard. When he takes off his calfskin
Cleverleys to show off their design quirks, I notice his socks
have purple tips—to match his tie.
“The shoe has to fi t like a glove,” he says, explaining the
shop’s philosophy. George Jr. fl irted
briefl y with a career in fi nance, but his
love of bespoke shoes brought him back
to the family business. “It just felt like the
natural fi t,” he says. I smile at the pun,
though his earnest expression suggests it
was purely unintentional.
The store does not post any prices on
its merchandise, but George Jr. is happy
to give me the rundown. Ready-to-wear

LEATHER AND LACES From left, a piece of alligator skin; Adam Low cutting material; a pair of Casuals; opposite, the
Cleverley staff: top, Teemu Leppanen, George Glasgow Sr. and Jr., Andrew Murphy; bottom, Morio Kumargi and Adam Low
models range from £400 to £500 (around $625 to $780),
depending on whether they’re made from calfskin or more
expensive hides, like alligator. (“We use only the alligator’s
stomach,” George Jr. explains. “That’s the best part.”)
For £950 (about $1,480), one can own a “semibespoke”
pair. These come only in standard sizes (U.K. 6-12), but a
customer can choose the style, shape and materials.
For the full Cleverley experience—multiple fi ttings, a
last—you’ll have to shell out £2,100 (about $3,275).
Because every bespoke pair is unique, it’s diffi cult to
generalize about their appearance. That said, George Jr. tells
me he can recognize his company’s products by sight.
“I know exactly when it’s one of our shoes,” he insists. He
can also visually distinguish, he claims, between bespoke
and semibespoke models. I believe him.
George Sr. is just as enthusiastic as his son and perhaps
even better dressed. When he enters the shop, I notice that
his shoes’ silver buckles have been subtly sheathed in leather.
“This way is less bling-bling,” he points out. “As they say
in the States.”
George Sr. has been toiling in shoeshops for 42 years.
“The great train robbers didn’t get a bigger sentence than
I did,” he jokes, before adding solemnly, “I think I can do
another twenty years or so.”
According to George Sr., English bespoke styles have
hardly changed at all since the 19th century. The industry,
though, has undergone some dramatic shifts. In the 1960s
there were more than 20 bespoke shoemakers in the West
End Master Bootmakers Association. Now when the group
meets for its annual tea party, only four members show up:
Cleverley, Foster & Son, James Taylor and John Lobb.
George Sr. speaks respectfully about his competitors but
can’t resist a gentle dig at a rival. “Taylor,” he says, his voice
lowering, “is more of an orthopedic shoe.”
There are several other well-regarded bespoke
shoemakers in London, including Berluti, Franklin and
Carréducker. But George Sr. has never worn a competitor’s
shoes. (George Jr. confesses to occasionally wearing Nikes
his girlfriend bought him. “They’re comfortable,” he says.)
Cleverley’s most formidable competitor is Lobb, founded
in 1849. A museum case in its shop on St. James’s Street
features measurements of King George V’s feet (which,
according to the cobbler’s notes, were “rather bony”).
Cleverley has countered by placing an even more
important set of British footprints in its window: David
Beckham’s. The company has also made shoes for Elton
John, Winston Churchill and Ralph Lauren (the man).
When I ask George Sr. if his shop makes shoes for women,
he chuckles. “If you’re a woman, you won’t wait that long for
a pair of shoes.”
The only exceptions George Jr. can think of are his girlfriend,
’60s supermodel Twiggy and Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
I follow both Georges up a narrow spiral staircase into
the workroom. George Sr. shows me animal hides: calf, pig,
alligator, ostrich, snake, frog and capybara (“a rodent with a
nose like this,” he says, miming a grotesque snout).
There’s also 18th century Russian reindeer skin. The store
has a cache of the stuff , thanks to an amateur diver who
discovered the hides in a shipwreck in Plymouth Sound.
The 200-year-old leather is in excellent condition, thanks to
the quality of its production. It took a Russian factory fi ve
years to hand-roll the hides.

Cleverley’s fi rst pair of “shipwreck shoes” was built for
the Prince of Wales, who requested a round-toe wing tip.
The air in the workroom is thick with sawdust, and
George Sr. has to shout to be heard over the sawing and
clanking. He points at a shoe in progress, a two-tone black
and white wing tip. “That guy likes a bit of glam,” he says.
His voice lowers again. “Los Angeles, no doubt.”
In the back room there are 3,000 lasts hanging from
the rafters. The Prince of Wales’ are displayed
front and center, next to Tom Wolfe’s. Less
famous feet are relegated to giant sacks in
musty corners. I spot a last composed of two
pieces of wood: the original foot mold and
a second lovingly glued-on knob, added to
account for a customer’s new bunion. People’s
feet change over the years and Cleverley adjusts
clients’ lasts accordingly. George Sr. calls this
process “surgery.”
“Churchill called England a nation of shopkeepers,”
George Sr. says proudly. “And it still is.”
But while Cleverley is doing well (the shop’s business
actually grew during the recession), he admits his industry
is “dying.” Only a small portion of the British public still
orders bespoke shoes. A few doors down from Cleverley sits
Camper, a contemporary chain that sells fl ip-fl ops for £25.
The cashier wears a ponytail and beads—and doesn’t seem
intimidated by his neighbor. “We have more colors,” he says.

HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM | OCTOBER 2010
George Cleverley is dependent on tourists for survival.
The front page of the fi rm’s website contains Japanese text.
And while the shoes are wholly produced in England,
they’re sold all over. A Beverly Hills gallery opened this
summer on Rodeo Drive, and Cleverley has agreed to sell
shoes at a Honolulu shop called Leather Soul. George Sr. has
hawked his wares all over the States, giving trunk shows in
cities as far fl ung as Houston and Palm Beach. As I make my
way back down the spiral staircase, I wonder: Will
the Glasgows’ international aspirations diminish
their shop’s authenticity? They’ve found new
clients—George Clooney recently picked up a pair
of ready-to-wears—but has something been lost
along the way?
Just as these doubts enter my mind, an
impeccably dressed man saunters past the store.
He smiles at George Sr. through the window
display, waving his wooden walking stick in
greeting. “That’s the Duke of Beaufort,” George says, waving
back at his loyal customer.
I can’t verify the man’s identity (and a cynical part of me
wonders if there even is a Duke of Beaufort). But I choose
to believe him. It’s just more fun that way. I thank my hosts
profusely and barrel down Bond Street. If I hurry, I think I
can still catch the changing of the guard.

Beach; the outer Peristyle

opposite, Santa Monica’s
original Muscle Beach
JAZZ AGE RACONTEUR Dorothy Parker once said, “Los Angeles is seventy-two suburbs in
search of a city.” When she lived there in the 1930s, it was still practically the Wild West
compared to the more settled cities of Chicago and New York. Today, L.A. is a megacity, the
second-largest in the U.S., spread over nearly 500 square miles of beaches, foothills, bike
paths and winding, tree-lined roads. All those suburbs—closer to 100 these days—are now
connected by a latticework of some 23 freeways, with top-fl ight restaurants, bars, parks and
hotels popping up like daisies. They’re also connected by a proud, sun-dappled plurality:
L.A. is a quilt of neighborhoods, each with its own unique identity—from the beach culture
burgs of Venice and Santa Monica, to the arty hillside hoods of Los Feliz and Silver Lake, to
the hubs of celebrity such as Bel Air and Beverly Hills, to the woodsy enclaves of Topanga
and Laurel Canyon.
If you try to see it all at once, you’re going to spend most of your time en route. So
plan carefully—that way, you can hit the beaches, the hills and the shopping strips, and
experience one of the most diverse, beguiling and, yes, laid-back cities in America.
DAY ONE You wake up at the edge of the world, where the continent runs into the
1 Pacifi c. From your bed at Shutters on the Beach (1), a posh resort that’s more Newport
mansion than Tinseltown hotspot, you look out your window and watch surfers carving
picture-perfect waves, then head down to Coast, one of the
hotel’s two beachfront restaurants, to nosh on some lemon
ricotta pancakes with fresh berries.
The Santa Monica boardwalk is irresistible, so you
rent a bike from Spokes N’ Stuff (2) and pedal south,
waves crashing to your right. Succumb to the urge
to stop on the beach and dig your toes into the sand
for a few minutes. Your ultimate destination, though,
is Abbot Kinney Boulevard, a street that has been
transformed in the past decade from a hippie bastion
into an upscale shopping district. Here you’ll fi nd
the rustic, too-hip-for-a-sign-out-front restaurant
Gjelina (3). Sit out on the back patio and admire
the modernist, woodsy design of Culver City–
based architects Modern Arc Inc. while nibbling
on marinated heirloom tomatoes served with
delicious burrata cheese, sweet basil and green olive
oil. Top off lunch with a visit to the most revered
espresso artisans in LaLa Land: Café Intelligentsia
Coffeebar (4). Although the ordering system is a little
confusing—a “concierge desk” routes you to one of
several espresso stations—the rich black coff ee is
well worth the eff ort.
Sated, you head back to Shutters and trade in your
bike for the shiny Cadillac CTS-V you rented and

drive up the Pacifi c Coast Highway to
Malibu. If the scenery looks familiar,
it’s because this iconic strip of blacktop
has starred in more fi lms than all the
Hollywood powerhouses who live
along it combined. When you get to
Malibu, your fi rst stop is The Getty
Villa (5), the smaller of L.A.’s two Getty
museums (the larger Getty Center
is in Brentwood). The Villa focuses
on Greek, Roman and Etruscan
antiquities, but what really catches
your eye are the lush scenic gardens,
complete with waterfalls and ancient
Roman bronze sculptures. Though a visit is free, you’ll want to make a reservation.
You’d also be wise to reserve a table for dinner. That way, there won’t be any
delay when you get to the Paradise Cove (6) in Malibu; you’ll be able to feel the sand
underfoot right at the table as nosy seagulls gaze greedily at your oysters. Sadly for
the birds, you fi nish every last one before turning in for the night. Feeling perfectly
sun-kissed from your day near the beach, you take in the view of the water to the
right and mountains to the left as you drive back to Shutters and collapse happily in
your well-appointed bed.
DAY TWO Wake up and wave goodbye to the surfers outside your window. Check
2 out of Shutters and steer the Caddy east to Culver City and the Miracle Mile for
a bit of culture, Los Angeles–style.
You pull up at Royal/T Café (1) just in time for brunch. This eatery manages to be
all things to all people: an art gallery, a bookstore, a nightlife space, a teahouse and
a French-Asian fusion breakfast and lunch spot where the servers dress in maid
outfi ts in a nod to the cafés in Tokyo’s Akihabara district. After you’ve polished off
your eggs and kobe beef patty, browse the store, where you can buy Mickey Kaus’
latest book or a toy designed by whimsical Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara.
Next, defy the notion that nobody walks in L.A. and stroll proudly down Main
Street and across Venice Boulevard to the Museum of Jurassic Technology (2). If David
Lynch were to curate a museum, it would look like this one: a collection of oddities
and dead-end research projects, such as a room full of letters to the Mount Wilson
Observatory, an exhibit of ancient remedies, an adorable collection of paintings
called “Dogs of the Soviet Space Programs,” and Hagop Sandaldjian’s series of
microminiature sculptures, called “Eye of the Needle.”
Lest you think that California culture is all quirk, drive
a few miles north to the Los Angeles County Museum
of Art (3), which was overhauled in 2008 and boasts
an impressive collection, with works by quintessential
California artist David Hockney and modernist
masterpieces by Pablo Picasso and photographer
Catherine Opie. There are seven buildings connected by
outdoor gardens, so take your time perusing, and don’t
miss the Renzo Piano–designed Lynda and Stewart
Resnick Exhibition Pavilion opening this month.

If all that visual stimulation hasn’t worn you down, a quick shopping jaunt down

meccas such as Crossroads Trading Co. (5). In the middle? Paparazzi chasing down
celebs. Pretend for a moment that it’s you they’re after, and then hop back into the

Luckily, you’re close to one of the best new restaurants in town, Animal (6), part
of the small-plate culinary revolution. The fare is a far cry from the sprouts and
salads Angelenos are purported to live on; carnivores will revel in rabbit loin and
pork belly sandwiches. The two chefs, Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, are famous
for their cookbook, Two Dudes, One Pan, and
were nominated for a James Beard award last
year. Fittingly, Animal doesn’t skimp on the
meat when it comes to dessert, either: Their
bacon chocolate crunch bar is to die for.

MARKET WATCH
THE ORIGINAL FARMERS
MARKET GETS AN UPDATE.
The Farmers Market—
L.A.’s original—has
come a long way since
its 1934 inception, when
a ragtag collection of
farmers from the green
inland valleys pulled
their trucks up to Third
and Fairfax and began
selling their produce in
the dirt parking lot. Now,
the market hosts more
than 100 restaurants,
greengrocers and brickand-mortar
food stalls
hawking everything
from fi sh tacos to fresh
berries. Its iconic tower
is the gathering point
for alfresco dining.
The Grove, a massive
upscale mall, opened
next door (think Barneys
CO-OP, Jimmy Choo and
a movie theater), joining
the old with the new.
“Meet me at Third and
Fairfax,” indeed.
farmersmarketla.com
Hollywood, and hooray for lunch. L.A. is very proud of In-N-Out Burger (3), so go see what
all the fuss is about. Try a classic burger, or—even better—order off the secret menu and ask
for the burger “animal style,” which means the patty is smothered with grilled onions, extra
sauce, mustard and pickles.
In Hollywood proper, you’ll head to—where else?—the three-mile Hollywood Walk of
Fame (4), where bumping into Barney, Elvis and Marilyn impersonators is only part of the
fun. You’ll wind up at another worthwhile tourist trap, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (5). The
Chinese temple facade is infamous—and for good reason. When it opened in 1927 with the
premiere of Cecil B. DeMille’s The King of Kings, fans rioted while trying to spot the celebrities
(sound familiar?). If you want, you can see an actual fl ick here, but after that three-mile walk,
you’d rather see dinner.
Look no farther than Palm’s Thai (6), where you will be serenaded by Thai Elvis.
Kavee Thongpreecha dons a pompadour, pinkie ring
and patent leather lifts while he croons Elvis’ hits with
aplomb. The food is as good as the entertainment; the
standard pad thai is delicious, but if you like it hot, go
with the curry.
For the perfect Hollywood ending, check into the
W Hollywood Hotel (7), which features actual red carpet
throughout its vast interior. After you walk it, freshen
up, do a lap through the W’s A-list nightclub, Drai’s
Hollywood, and head out for a night on the
Sunset Strip. Rainbow Bar & Grill (8) is the perfect
setting for cocktails and people-watching. It’s part
Godfather hangout (red leather booths, fi replace and
cozy interior) and part rock ‘n’ roll party scene (diners
whose fashions and musical tastes haven’t changed
since 1985, when hair metal bands like Mötley Crüe,
Poison and Ratt ruled the strip). Don’t be put off by
the fi ve-dollar cover; you’ll get a free drink ticket when
you walk in the door.
You end your evening—and trip—riding down
Sunset, the wind in your hair, understanding why Los
Angeles needs to be spread out across all of these towns,
burgs, hamlets and neighborhoods: otherwise, it would
be too much cool in one place.

THIS IS THE
TIME OF YEAR
when we think about
coming together with family,
and going skiing is the ultimate
bonding experience. People of all skill
levels can be on the same mountain at the
same time, enjoying the outdoors.
We at The Ski Channel believe this ski season
is going to be the greatest ever: Resorts are at the back
end of tens of billions of dollars of spending on new base
lodges, gondolas, high-speed quads, advanced snowmaking and
terrain parks to make the skiing, snowboarding and family vacation
experience second to none. Properties have also added top-notch spas,
restaurants and shopping. It is amazing what billions of dollars can do in
the right hands!
January is Learn to Ski and Snowboard month with incentives
across the country, so start planning at theskichannel.com/resort-rater,
our resort rater. You can input details about your needs, and 500
properties will appear. Flip through this section to get a preview of what
you’ll find. Happy skiing!

Crested Butte
Colorado’s Last Great Ski Town
NESTLED IN THE HEART of
the Rocky Mountains, Crested
Butte is “Colorado’s Last Great Ski
Town”. Whether you are visiting
for the first time or returning, you
immediately feel a difference that
sets Crested Butte apart from other
mountain destinations. With no
traffic lights or chain stores and
people who openly celebrate life
every day, the genuine nature
of the community immediately
captures you. Here, your time
isn’t just about a visit to ski an
incredible mountain. It’s about
being away from your other world,
finding adventure in an unspoiled
setting surrounded by majestic
peaks, wide valleys, and stepping
into the culture and lifestyle that is
Crested Butte.
Whatever your quest may be,
Crested Butte will inspire your
passion for adventure. From the
abundant wide open green and blue
groomed trails to more advanced
long cruisers and the famous
extreme limits of the North Face
and Headwall, the ski mountain
has it all. The adventure continues
off the slopes with some of the
most diverse and distinctive bars,
restaurants, shopping and nightlife
found in any ski town. For families
and friends, Crested Butte is a place
to reconnect and find new ways to
explore and discover the mountain
surroundings together, while
enjoying a vacation experience that
has something for everyone.
The options are endless in
Crested Butte and the 2010-2011
season is no exception. For full
family fun, the Adventure Park
features ice skating, bungee
trampolines, rock climbing and
a lift served tubing hill. For
those searching for a unique
excursion, try the Snowcat Driving
Experience and learn how to drive
one of the resort’s revered groomed
machines, a Prinoth Snowcat.
This season marks 50 years of
skiing at Crested Butte Mountain
Resort and the start of a year-long
celebration to commemorate the
occasion. With a full event schedule
and a community that loves a party,
this is a year not to be missed in
Crested Butte.
United Airlines offers daily jet service
to the Gunnison/Crested Butte
Regional Airport (GUC) via Denver
International Airport with connections

Jackson Hole
There is no place like Jackson Hole
THERE IS NO PLACE like Jackson Hole,
Wyoming. Some mountains have more lifts,
and plenty others have more people, but
no other mountain on the planet matches
massive terrain, with abundant snowfall
and room to maneuver more completely than
Jackson Hole.
Located in the heart of the iconic
Teton Range, adjacent to Grand Teton and
Yellowstone National Park, Jackson Hole
is surrounded by 97% public land—it’s
the serenity of being immersed in the best
protected and most celebrated landscape of
the American West, buried under an average
of over 450” of annual snowfall.
The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram is a global
icon of big mountain skiing that represents
the biggest vertical rise of any ski lift in North
America. Yet for families and intermediate
skiers, the Bridger Gondola is Jackson’s best
kept secret, providing a lifetime of wide open
cruising, gentle powder slopes and widely
spaced trees. Jackson Hole’s Kids’ Ranch
Program specializes in building confidence
and skill in the next generation of skiers and
riders, instilling a love of the mountains that
will last a lifetime.
WHAT’S NEW FOR 2010/11? NON-STOP DAILY FLIGHTS FROM LOS ANGELES TO JACKSON HOLE
BURTON STASH PARKS ORGANIC TERRAIN PARKS
Stash Parks incorporate natural features and native materials
to create ramps, rails and jumps in ‘stashed locations’
across the mountain. These eco-driven parks enhance the
mountain’s natural terrain making Jackson Hole #1 in the US
for creative riding. Take it from Jake (Burton) “The Woods are
the Goods.”
SNOWMAKING AND GROOMING
IMPROVEMENTS WIDE OPEN CRUISING
This winter a 25% boost in snowmaking (bigger pipes, more
power, and new acreage) means more terrain open earlier, and
in better shape longer. We are also adding a new winchcat,
which will ensure better corduroy than ever.

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 with available seats. EasyCheck-in® units located in the concourse
will assist you with information and a boarding pass—it will also help
you standby for an earlier United fl ight if one is scheduled. If you want
to 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

Real People. Real Dates.
We sat down with
It’s Just Lunch Dating
Specialist Betty Sinclair,
Seattle, WA, to discuss a twist on a
popular element in the dating scene:
the person who has the savvy to provide
singles advice on how to meet people —
the “wing-woman.” Betty shines some
light on today’s dating scene and what
singles need to consider to be successful.
Can you give us a 30,000 foot
snapshot of the dating scene today?
Sure. Dating is complicated, especially for busy
professionals, but it’s not calculus. Finding the
right time and place to meet compatible people
can be a challenge to navigate. The bar scene is
just that: a scene. And having family and friends
set you up doesn’t really work for most people.
Even if you are introduced to someone, the
pressure is there to ask them out — and what
do you really have in common with them?
So what are singles doing about it,
and why do they come to you?
Our clients understand that it makes sense
to consult an expert to best optimize their
dating life. So, yes, we really do function as
wing-women, offering detailed introductions
to help eliminate some of the stress that
accompanies first dates.
What are singles looking for on
a first date these days?
One quality that always ranks high on the list
is confidence. Many of us describe ourselves
as confident, but are we really confident on
a first date? Most likely, the answer is no, as
dating is the one arena that tests our egos and
levels the playing field for all, whether you are
21 or 60. I often tell my clients to take a deep
breath, relax and just have fun with the process!
What do you tell your clients
before they go out?
As a first-date specialist, I never want to hear
from a client that a date was “nice.” A first
date should be fun and exciting! It doesn’t
mean that the two of you are going to ride off
into the sunset, but it does mean that you are
going to put your best foot forward and give
the date 100% of your authentic self — the self
your circle of friends and family see.

This month Doug talks about our current domestic white wine offering … Cheviot Bridge
Chardonnay 2008 from Adelaide Hills. The popular image of Australia as a sun-burnt land
is too limited to describe a country as vast as the continental USA, with perhaps hundreds
of sites ideal for crisp and delicious white wines. The Adelaide Hills offer such a landscape;
its elevated vineyards providing the cooling conditions for this pretty Chardonnay.
