Beyoncé's Stylist Breaks Down Her On the Run Tour Looks
From their announcement of the On the Run tour—with a faux movie trailer starring Sean Penn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Blake Lively, Don Cheadle, Rashida Jones, Emmy Rossum, and Guillermo Díaz—to its final stop, when Nicki Minaj made a surprise appearance, Beyoncé and Jay Z had us captivated throughout their 21-show run. Which makes the fact that the clothes stole the show all the more impressive. Everything about Bey's wardrobe was on a larger scale, from her record number of outfit changes to the ever-expanding list of designers who contributed to her wardrobe—Givenchy, Alexander Wang, Versace, Diesel, and Elie Saab among them. Orchestrating Queen B's rotation of ensembles—with two-and-a-half months' notice, no less—was her longtime stylist, Ty Hunter. Ahead of the On the Run HBO special airing tonight, Hunter spoke with Style.com about what went into making the wardrobe, championing emerging designers, and how Beyoncé archives all of her past tour outfits.
When you're working with other designers, do you put out an open call for sketches, or are you constantly accumulating them and then going through them closer to the tour?
Me and Raquel Smith meet with Beyoncé and get a feel for what she's looking for. After we meet with her, we contact designers and showrooms and let everybody give their interpretation. This time we gave the designers prompts like "modern-day Bonnie and Clyde," "badass robbers," and "cowgirl." Everyone came with their sketches, and then we had another meeting with Beyoncé and let her pick her favorites, then met again with the designers to see if we can make it stage-friendly. A lot of times designers will give you a nice piece for the runway, but we have to get her in and out of these costumes in a minute or two. We tell them the kind of materials they have to use and go from there.
What are some of the technical tricks that designers come up with, allowing her to get in and out of the costumes that quickly?
The placement of zippers is important. A lot of times I want the zipper in the back because I'm behind her doing those quick changes. A lot of times the shoe zippers we want on the inner leg. It's little stuff like that.
For this tour, did you have to put together twice as many outfits because Jay Z was involved?
We laid out the flow of the show and that's how we came up with the number of costume changes. There can be 15 changes, but we're at 13. The most changes we've ever done on one of Beyoncé's tours was eight.
As far as coordinating Beyoncé and Jay Z's outfits, did you have the same designer do both of their outfits for the same segment?
Givenchy and Alexander [Wang] and Versace did moments together, but other than that, me and Raquel Smith met with Jay's stylist, Beyoncé, and Jay and decided the placement of things. When they're together, you want it to make sense and have them complement each other, but a lot of times they're not together so they can do their own thing.
It seems like one of the silhouettes she's really loved is the jumpsuit designed by Vrettos Vrettakos.
Yeah, he's a young designer that I met on Facebook. He sent this sketch and was very persistent. I was like, "If you can bring this to life, I'll use it." That's the one thing I admire about Beyoncé—she's willing to give younger designers and lower lines a chance. She's not into labels. If it's hot, why not? This time we used Diesel, and for us to use Diesel with Givenchy, I'm sure people are like, "Well, how did Diesel make it?" But it's just about the look, show, and feel of it.
I think that's pretty true to her personal style as well.
Yeah, she'll wear Topshop with Louboutins and she's OK with that. That's what makes her who she is. A lot of people think you have to wear something right off the runway and it has to be a certain designer. I think everybody has to start from somewhere and deserves a chance to be that top designer. We use Michael Costello in the show and used him at the Grammys, and for her to take a chance on him was huge. We also focus on energy, and if I feel a great energy from a young designer and feel like they're talented, I'm willing to give them a chance.
Everyone is dying to know what the story is behind the assless piece Beyoncé wears on this tour.
[ Laughs] That was one of the things she wanted to do, and we had to bring it to life.
American flags are a big theme on this tour.
Riccardo [Tisci] sent sketches and he does a lot with stars and stripes, and I thought it was awesome. That was one of my favorite looks. It's made out of this parachute fabric and I love it because it doesn't get wrinkled. It's very lightweight, and when she walks it just flows in the wind.
How did the Versace jumpsuit come together? It's a little bit more colorful than some of the pieces she's worn by them in the past.
For this show, we were going for a lot of black and white stuff with sprinkles of color every now and then. Versace came up with that look, which is to die for. It's one of my favorite looks as well. They created it for the dancers, and it's just a great moment. The mohawk is perfect. It has a gold Medusa on the front.
Is there another piece that you were really excited to see come together?
I love the Elie Saab moment when she sings "Resentment." That's one of my favorite songs. I don't know what my favorite piece would be because everyone worked so hard to make this come together in such a short period of time. I guess that's one of my favorites because I get a little break from doing a quick change. It's a white jumper with a wedding veil on top.
How important is honoring her past style? Does she want to look back to outfits she's worn before for inspiration, or does she prefer to keep moving forward?
We try to keep moving forward, but sometimes you find yourself seeing something you've done in the past. Even this go-round, we've seen things that we've done just because we've done so much since Destiny's Child. A lot of the times you find that you have something similar to a piece you wore 10 years ago, and that's just how fashion is.
How have you seen her style evolve since she's become a mom?
Still to this day, I'm just in awe. She's an amazing woman and an amazing person. I've been with her for so long, and each time she surprises me. She's OK playing around and taking risks, and that's what makes my job so much easier. The reason why I also love her is that she's not just a person you can throw something on. She's in full control of her brand.
Is there a certain risk she's taken over the years that's your favorite?
I would say the outfit she wore to announce her pregnancy during the VMAs.
Was it chosen just for that moment?
No! It was just part of her performance.
Did you know she'd be announcing her pregnancy?
I didn't until that day.
What happens to all of these garments after the tour finishes?
We have three different locations, and everything gets archived.
Do you plan on bringing them back out for a retrospective?
Yes, of course. She has something going on now with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There's plans in the future to bring everything out.
For everyone outside of Beyoncé's circle, what's the most surprising thing about working with her?
She's really down-to-earth. A lot of people think that these iconic women are supposed to be these bitches or be a certain way, and she is not. She allows her team to be creative and she's very loyal. I've been with her for 15 years. She's just a Southern girl. We're from the South, and a lot of times people will meet us and have to apologize because they expect me to be a certain way since I work for an iconic pop star. We're not that at all.
What wardrobes of other pop stars or icons inspire you guys?
I would say Diana Ross. Brigitte Bardot. A lot of the great icons.
Do you keep a mood board?
Whenever we get ready for anything, we play around with what she wants and and make a mood board. We were able to let designers look at it as well and come up with their own interpretations of what a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde would look like. It was cool to see everybody's interpretations.
Do you have any desire to have your own line?
I'm in the process of working on it. Everything is laid out. It'll be a surprise.

Makes 8 croquettes
Serve these crispy croquettes with a mesclun salad and a bit of diced chopped tomato, preferably with a mustard or red wine vinaigrette. The tartness of the salad balances the flavors of the croquettes, which reflect the crispy topping, smoky ham and slightly sweet white beans of a true cassoulet. If you happen to have a bit of duck fat for frying, the taste will be even more authentic.
A food processor makes quick work of this recipe. If you don't use a food processor, chop ingredients by hand.
2 eggs
1/2 cup cornmeal (or coarse bread crumbs)
1/2 medium onion
1/2 cup fresh parsley, loosely packed
2 cloves garlic
1-1/2 cups cooked or 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini,
Great Northern or other white beans, rinsed and drained
6 ounces cooked ham (about 1-1/3 cups minced)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Fresh coarse-ground pepper as desired
Canola oil
In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir in the cornmeal. Set aside. In the work bowl of a food processor, pulse the onion, parsley, and garlic until minced (do not purée). Pour these ingredients into the mixing bowl with the cornmeal. In the same work bowl, pulse the beans until coarsely chopped—do not purée, you want a few chunks for texture. Add to the mixing bowl.
In the same work bowl, pulse the ham until minced. Add to the mixing bowl along with the thyme, nutmeg and pepper. Using a spatula, stir the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. The batter should be stiff enough to shape without being sticky or crumbly; if too dry, add some water or milk, and if too wet, add more cornmeal. Shape the batter into 8 patties.
Lightly film a skillet with about 1/8-inch oil. Heat on medium. When hot, add the patties. Fry on one side until brown, then flip and brown the other side , about 3 to 5 minutes per side, making sure not to burn them. (You may need to add a little oil for the second side).
Ingredients vary—some ham may be more moist than others, same goes for the beans. If the finished croquettes seem dry, serve them with a drizzle of a vinaigrette or a dab of mustard-mayonnaise. Allow 1 or 2 croquettes as an appetizer, or 4 as a light main course.

Effective arbovirus transmission requires that the principal vertebrate hosts and vectors have frequent contact. Vegetation and other landscape features used by roosting or nesting birds at night dictate their exposure to nocturnally active host-seeking Culex tarsalis Coquillett and therefore to western equine encephalomyelitis and St. Louis encephalitis viruses. Precipitin tests on 645 Cx. tarsalis that were collected resting and host-seeking near the Salton Sea in Coachella Valley, CA, indicated that passeriform birds (64%) and rabbits (25%) were the most frequent bloodmeal hosts and that the percentage of females feeding on birds varied temporally as an inverse function of mosquito abundance. Blood meals were not taken from communally roosting water birds. The spatial distribution of host-seeking females then was investigated by deploying dry ice baited traps within seven sites representative of habitats found along the Salton Sea. Mosquito catch was greatest at traps within elevated vegetation such as Tamarisk, mesquite, cattails, and orchards and lowest at traps positioned at snags over water, sand bars, open fields, and within housing in a small rural community. These data indicate that host-seeking Cx. tarsalis females congregated at specific landscape features that were not necessarily associated with large concentrations of potential bloodmeal hosts.
Vector and vertebrate host distribution and behavior determines when, where, and how frequently and effectively arbovirus transmission occurs. In California, western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) and St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) viruses cycle enzootically during summer among the primary mosquito vector, Culex tarsalis Coquillett, and a variety of bird species (Reeves 1990). Our research continues to investigate ecological factors associated with the persistence, maintenance and amplification of these viruses at wetlands and associated habitats along the north shore of the Salton Sea, sites involved repeatedly in early season virus activity (Reisen et al. 1992).
The frequency of vector contact with vertebrate host species may be measured indirectly by the prevalence of infection with vector-transmitted parasites, by identifying the source of blood within the gut of engorged vectors, and by determining the spatial distribution of host-seeking vectors in time and space. The highly saline Salton Sea and its environs in Riverside County, CA, present a unique series of rapidly transitioning habitats that are exploited by a diverse avian fauna (Reisen et al. 2000). The nocturnal roosting, nesting, and in a few cases feeding sites where birds are exposed to host-seeking Cx. tarsalis may be divided into several general landscape categories (Table 1). Species such as grebes float on the sea surface, whereas others such as cormorants (Phalacrocoracidae) and herons (Ciconiiformes) roost and nest communally in snags over water. Sand beach and occasional spits are used intermittently for roosting by flocks of shore birds (Charadriiformes), pelicans (Pelecaniformes), and gulls (Laridae). Wave action has created a marginal berm that has been colonized by narrow stands of Tamarisk (Tamarix) and pickleweed (Salicornia). Immediately upland is a narrow belt (<200 m wide) of marsh created mostly by freshwater seepage and agricultural runoff. Open marsh is colonized by intermittent stands of cattails (Typhus), whereas the upland margin is bordered by a mixture of salt grass (Dystichilis), pickleweed, and stunted shoreline tamarisk. The shoreline tamarisk frequently was used by migratory warblers and sparrows, whereas the freshwater marsh and cattails are colonized by redwinged blackbirds, black-crowned night herons, song sparrows, and marsh wrens. The marsh edge gives way to alkaline desert brush dominated by pickleweed and arrow weed (Pulchchea) interspersed with clumps of mesquite (Prosopis). Gambel's quail, Abert's towhee and white crowned sparrows roost at night within this habitat. Cattail stands and inundated margins of the marsh provide the principal developmental sites for immature Cx. tarsalis. Further upland, desert brush is replaced by irrigated agriculture dominated by low row crops such as peppers and melons, and taller citrus orchards and grapes. Mourning doves, mocking birds, and house finches commonly roost and nest in orchards.
The number of bird species and total sera tested for antibodies against WEE and SLE virus (Reisen et al. 2000) have been summarized by habitat category in Table 1. Indicator bird species were included to characterize each habitat. WEE and SLE antibody rates were highest in species that roost and nest at night in upland vegetation and were detected rarely in species communally roosting over water, on sand spits, or within low marsh and alkaline brush vegetation. Although large flocks of cormorants, waterfowl, and shore birds were observed over water or on the shore, it was impossible to enumerate birds in dense reed, tamarisk thicket, or orchard habitats at night and occurrence here was inferred from the literature or by observations at dawn.
We hypothesized that the host-seeking behavior of Cx. tarsalis in relation to landscape features contributed to the results of our avian serological survey. Although well investigated in the Central Valley of California (Tempelis et al. 1965, Tempelis and Washino 1967), the bloodmeal hosts used by Cx. tarsalis in the desert biome of southeastern California are poorly understood. Blood fed females collected by light traps at farmhouses in Imperial Valley fed on both birds and mammals, with passeriform birds, chickens, horses, and cattle the most common hosts (Gunstream et al. 1971). However, data were not available for females collected at wetland habitats, and too few were collected to describe seasonal patterns. Therefore, an initial objective of our research was to describe the blood-feeding patterns of Cx. tarsalis at wetland habitats along the Salton Sea. Because the phenology of Cx. tarsalis in the Coachella Valley differs markedly from that in the Central Valley (Reisen and Reeves 1990), data were analyzed over time to describe how feeding patterns change seasonally in relation to mosquito and host abundance. Previous studies in the Central Valley showed that the proportion of blood meals taken from avian hosts decreased during summer concurrently with an increase in the density of host-seeking females (Reeves 1971), perhaps due to differences in defensive behavior in response to mosquito biting rates (Nelson et al. 1976).
Preliminary analysis of blood meal identifications (Lothrop et al. 1997) supported our bird seroprevalence data (Reisen et al. 2000) and indicated that abundant communally roosting birds such as cormorants, herons, shore birds and waterfowl were not fed upon by Cx. tarsalis. We hypothesized that the spatial distribution of host-seeking females may provide one explanation for these results and that this distribution could be explored in relation to landscape features using dry ice-baited traps (Meyer et al. 1991). Cx. tarsalis females collected in CDC style traps (Sudia and Chamberlain 1962) that were operated without lights and baited with dry ice mostly were unfed, inseminated and at Christophers' follicular developmental stages I-II, and therefore presumed to be host-seeking (Reisen et al. 1995a). Catch of Cx. tarsalis at dry ice-baited traps typically peaked during the first few hours after sunset (Reisen et al. 1997), indicating a nocturnal host-seeking periodicity. The second objective of our research was to determine if the catch of Cx. tarsalis in dry ice-baited traps varied significantly among habitats along the shore of the Salton Sea. A significant clumping of host-seeking females at specific landscape or vegetation features would delineate the spatial risk of virus infection for vertebrates using those habitats at night when infective Cx. tarsalis were host-seeking.
Materials and Methods
Blood Feeding Patterns.
During 1995 and 1996, blood engorged female Cx. tarsalis were collected resting during early morning one to three times per week in five walk-in red boxes (Meyer 1985) positioned within 200 m of the margin of the Salton Sea. Boxes were positioned along stands of Tamarisk, the tallest vegetation at these areas. Previous attempts to aspirate females from natural resting refugia during early morning were unproductive, even during mild winter temperatures (Reisen et al. 1995b). Mosquitoes were enumerated by species, sex, and female abdominal appearance (i.e., empty, blood fed, or gravid). Blood fed females were frozen individually in gelatin capsules at -70°C, until hosts were identified using a microprecipitin test (Tempelis 1975). Host-seeking female abundance was measured biweekly along the Salton Sea by using 26–63 dry ice-baited CDC traps (CO2 traps) (Reisen and Lothrop 1999).
Spatial Abundance.
The number of females caught in CO2 traps measured the abundance of females host-seeking in the habitat in which the trap was placed. Abundance at habitats representative of landscape features in the southern Coachella Valley was compared during seven separate experiments conducted during 1997–1998. The location of the study areas in relation to the Salton Sea is shown in Fig. 1. At each site, four to six CO2 traps were positioned within different habitats along each of three parallel transects >50 m apart and perpendicular to the Salton Sea. Traps were operated on three consecutive nights during each experiment (n = 36–54 trap-nights per experiment). Dark green plastic garbage cans (121 liters) were placed under or within vegetation and oriented to face northward to sample resting mosquitoes. Resting mosquitoes were removed each morning concurrent with CO2 trap collection. Sites, month-year of sampling, and habitats were as follows.
Site 1 (April 1997 and April, June, August, October, and 1998). (1) Sandbar used by a variety of shorebirds, gulls and pelicans, (2) shoreline Tamarisk, (3) low brush dominated by salt grass and pickleweed, (4) mesquite clumps, (5) citrus orchard edge, and (6) citrus orchard interior at row 4. Traps were operated at the same six habitats at bimonthly intervals during 1998 to determine if the patterns observed during April 1997 remained consistent as temperature and mosquito abundance changed.
Site 2 (June 1997). (1) Offshore snags used for roosting by 50–100 double-crested cormorants, (2) sand beach, (3) cattail marsh edge, and (4) cattail marsh interior.
Site 3 (July 1997). (1) Narrow sandbar, (2) cattail stands surrounded by water, (3) shoreline Tamarisk, (4) low brush consisting mostly of pickle weed, (5) citrus edge, and (6) citrus interior (third row).
Site 4 (September 1997). (1) Offshore snags, (2) sandbar and adjacent berm, (3) shoreline Tamarisk, (4) open field (grass and annual plants), (5) margin of upland Tamarisk, and (6) interior of upland Tamarisk thicket (10–40 m from margin).
Site 5 (October 1997). (1) Mature cauliflower, (2) citrus row four (outside tree canopy), (3) citrus row four (under tree canopy), (4) citrus row 10 (outside canopy), (5) citrus row 10 (under canopy), and (6) vineyard.
Site 6 (April 1998). (1) Offshore snags (nesting sites for several species of egrets and herons), (2) mudflat, (3) berm with pickle weed, (4) shoreline Tamarisk, and (5) upland Tamarisk.
Site 7 (October 1998). (1) Brush dominated by arrow weed, (2) melon field, (3) citrus edge, (4) vineyard edge, (5) oleander hedge at town/melon field interface, (6) two blocks into town, and (7) four blocks into town.
Mosquitoes were enumerated by species, sex, and female abdominal status. Counts per trap were transformed to ln (y + 1) and then compared by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), with habitats and transects as main effects and consecutive nights as replicates (Hintze 1998). Preliminary analyses of data from site 1 during 1998 indicated that variation among transects was not significant, and consequently catch size was analyzed using a two-way ANOVA with habitats and months as main effects. Means were compared by Fisher least significant difference (LSD) test (Hintze 1998). Data presented were back-transformed or geometric means.
Blood Feeding Patterns.
Overall, 645 blood meals produced a positive precipitin reaction (Lothrop et al. 1997). Passeriform bird (64%) was the most frequently positive host group, followed by rabbit (Lepus or Sylvilagus) (25%), canine (dog or coyote) (3%), chicken (1%), dove (pigeon or dove) (0.2%), and cat (0.2%); a blood meal from a single female reacted to both passeriform and dove antisera. In addition, 3% and 3% of the blood meals reacted positively with general mammal or bird antisera, respectively, but failed to react with group specific reagents. These meals were either too well digested for definitive testing or came from unidentified hosts. Of the 645 reacting blood meals, 101 were from females collected in CO2 traps and were host-seeking to complete a partial blood meal. Statistically, fewer females collected in CO2 traps fed on a passeriform bird (57%) than did females collected resting in walk-in red boxes (65%, χ2 = 11.02, P < 0.05). These data indicate that females feeding on perching birds were slightly less likely to be interrupted and continue host-seeking than females feeding on other hosts including rabbits.
The phenology of host-seeking Cx. tarsalis females was decidedly bimodal, with a large peak in late winter-early spring and a second smaller peak in late summer-early fall (Fig. 2 A). Conversely, the average number of females collected per walk-in red box per day during each month peaked in September and October (Fig. 2B); however, the number of blood fed females per collection remained <3 per box per day during all months. Consistent with previous observations in the Central Valley (Reisen and Reeves 1990), the percentage of females feeding on avian hosts was lowest during months when host-seeking abundance was greatest (Fig. 2C). The mean number of blood engorged females per box also was lowest during spring, even though the abundance of resident and migratory birds at wetland habitats was greatest at this time.
Spatial Abundance.
The abundance of Cx. tarsalis host-seeking females per trap-night was greatest at elevated vegetation (Fig. 3). Trap counts were significantly greatest at mesquite clumps and orchard habitats at site 1, at the interface and within cattail stands at site 2, within and at the edge of the citrus orchard at site 3, and at shoreline and upland Tamarisk at sites 4 and 6. A marked exception was the fairly homogenous pattern of abundance during October at site 5, which consisted of upland row crops, relatively low profile grape vineyard, and citrus habitat (Fig. 3). Cx. tarsalis abundance was relatively low during this experiment, and there were no significant differences among habitats. Counts at traps placed on sand beach or spits (sites 1–4) or suspended from snags over water (sites 1, 2, 4, and 6) were significantly less than at traps placed in the remaining habitats, even though these habitats often were used as communal roosting sites by large numbers of water and shore birds.
An interesting pattern was observed at habitats within and around the small town of Mecca (Fig. 4). Here, few females were collected at traps placed within the town, even though humans, domestic animals, and peridomestic birds were abundant. Catch was greatest at the edge of a citrus orchard and at moderate height brush dominated by arrow weed.
Because our results during the October 1997 experiment at site 5 (Fig. 3) appeared different, we investigated the influence of season on catch at traps in habitats at site 1 during four bimonthly experiments during 1998. April: mean daily temperature at Mecca (California Irrigation Management Information System station #141) during the experimental period = 25.1°C, period of maximum Cx. tarsalis abundance (Fig. 2). June: 28.6°C, moderate abundance. August: 29.9°C, low abundance. October: 22.7°C, moderate abundance. In the ANOVA, both month (F = 451.2; df = 3, 187; P < 0.001) and habitat (F = 140.0; df = 5, 187; P < 0.001) effects were highly significant (Table 2). The catch of host-seeking females at different habitats generally remained consistent over months (Fig. 5), although the interaction between month and habitat was significant (F = 5.51; df = 15, 187; P < 0.001). This interaction effect accounted for only 3% of the variability in the ANOVA and was not considered biologically meaningful. The pattern of host-seeking abundance among habitats generally followed that described at site 1 during April 1997 (Fig. 3), with few mosquitoes host-seeking at the sand spit along the shore of the Salton Sea. Relatively more females were collected hunting over low brush during August and at mesquite clumps during June and October than during April (Fig. 5). In agreement with the patterns observed for host-seeking females, the proportion of females (including blood engorged females) resting in garbage cans also was greatest at citrus habitat, indicating that females blood fed in greatest numbers where they were collected host-seeking (Fig. 6).
Vertebrates associated with elevated upland vegetation at night were the most frequent bloodmeal hosts of Cx. tarsalis in our survey in the southern Coachella Valley. Similar to the Central Valley (Reisen and Reeves 1990), precipitin tests identified perching birds in the order Passeriformes and rabbits, probably cottontails (Sylvilagus auduboni), as frequent bloodmeal hosts. The percentage of resting females that fed on birds was lowest during spring when the abundance of females host-seeking was greatest. Although this result agreed with previous findings in California (Tempelis et al. 1965) and elsewhere (Reeves 1971, Washino and Tempelis 1983), these data were somewhat unexpected in Coachella Valley, where wetlands along the Salton Sea were ecologically most productive, mosquitoes most abundant, and migratory and resident bird populations most abundant and diverse during spring. However, most new virus infections in birds were not detected by seroconversion or by infection of hatching year birds until after midsummer (Reisen et al. 2000), concurrent with the increase in the proportion of mosquitoes that fed on birds.
The catch of host-seeking females at CO2 traps positioned at different habitats agreed well with the results of our survey of avian populations for antibodies against WEE and SLE viruses (Reisen et al. 2000). In this survey, birds roosting/nesting in Tamarisk and orchards (house finches, house sparrows, ground doves, mourning doves), mesquite (Gambel's quail, Abert's towhees), and cattail stands (redwinged blackbirds, marsh wrens, least bitterns, black-crowned night-herons) were infected most frequently. Summer and permanent resident bird species not infected, but commonly seen in our study areas, included a variety of shore, wading, and water birds that spend the night on sand bars, roosting in snags over water, or floating on the water surface. By virtue of their nocturnal habitat selection, these birds seemed to avoid Cx. tarsalis bites and therefore virus infection. Collectively, these data question the idea that large numbers of communally roosting birds are a critical factor for the amplification of encephalitis viruses (Komar et al. 1999) and indicate that factors such as landscape may dictate which birds frequently are contacted by infected vectors. The failure to incriminate herons as an important reservoir host for SLE virus was unexpected, given their reputed importance in the epidemiology of closely related Japanese encephalitis virus (Buescher et al. 1959).
Host-seeking Cx. tarsalis female abundance at traps set in habitats around and in the town of Mecca exhibited epidemiologically revealing patterns. In this experiment, females were abundant at orchards and brush outside of town, but rarely were collected at traps operated 2 and 4 blocks inside the edge of the town. The small rural community of Mecca (3.4 km2) has a human population of ≈2,000 residents, with dogs and house sparrows visibly abundant and available to provide blood meals for host-seeking females. The low abundance of host-seeking females within the town agreed well with the low seroprevalence of antibodies to WEE and SLE viruses found in this and other human populations in the southern Coachella Valley (Reisen et al. 1996). These data indicate that humans would be at greatest risk of being bitten by Cx. tarsalis when entering or working near elevated vegetation at night in rural areas (e.g., orchards), but would have less mosquito contact in open areas including agricultural fields and preferred fishing sites such as sand spits and on boats over water.
Patterns of mosquito abundance in different habitats also indicate where CO2 traps should be placed to enhance mosquito surveillance. Our data indicate that to collect large numbers of Cx. tarsalis females, traps should be placed in ecotones near elevated vegetation such as Tamarisk, orchards, mesquite clumps, or cattail beds. Traps at these sites collected significantly more mosquitoes than traps placed in other habitats, and this placement should be considered when designing sampling programs for this species (Reisen and Lothrop 1999).
We especially thank G. Gorski (Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District) for assistance with mosquito collection and processing. C. H. Tempelis and J. Lui (University of California, Berkeley) identified the mosquito blood meals by precipitin test. This research was funded, in part, by grants from the University of California Mosquito Research Program, the Coachella Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District, and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH (Grant No. 1-R01-[AI]32939).

Get an alert when new Indigo Girls dates are announced
Indigo Girls were formed in the mid-eighties and signed to Epic Records in the wake of a revived interest in folky-acoustic songwriting. In over a decade of recording this duo - aka Emily Saliers and Amy Ray - has attained a respectable degree of mainstream success, without alienating their underground following. Two radically different songwriting styles and influences, make for a truly dynamic and interesting combination of talent.

In times when everything seems sewn up, we need someone to tear it apart. In an age of smoothly sellable corporate indie, we need someone to take a knife to the façade. At the start of 2009, the band stepping up to that challenge is An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump.
Quite correctly one of the coolest and most talked-about new bands in London right now, this all-girl trio (their mouthful of a name is taken from an 18th-century painting by Joseph Wright of Derby) rip rock'n'roll back to its building blocks and start again from Ground Zero.
A photogenic jumble of mesh, chintz, leopard and Lycra, with perfect Purdey-from-New-Avengers fringes, Russ Meyer-esque curves and permanently unsmiling lipgloss, C-Bird, D-Bird and X-Bird swap instruments after almost every song, like Bowie and his band during the Lodger sessions – not to show off their versatile musicianship, but, if anything, to prove that you don't need musicianship to create a raw, sexy rock'n'roll racket.
Nevertheless, certain primary roles emerge. Lined up side-by-side, X-Bird is chiefly the stand-up drummer (stand-up drummers are always cooler), pummelling seven shades of hell out of a pair of floor toms; D-Bird is mostly the guitarist, and C-Bird is mainly on bass, as well as owning the band's most powerful singing voice, in a New York tough-girl, Patti Smith-meets-Karen O style.
Their ultra-primitive, ultra-minimal sound recalls Siouxsie and Budgie circa the first Creatures album; the Cramps, of Smell of Female or Off the Bone; We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It; the Birthday Party and early Bow Wow Wow ... and it grabs you by the guts.
As well as their own songs, often barely a minute long (at 2:20, "Saints Don't Cry" is a comparative epic), Air Pump's repertoire includes a cover of Sonic Youth's classic "100%" which dispenses with the original chords in much the same way that the Slits reinvented "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", D-Bird snarling "I've been around the world a million times ... and all you men are slime" with drop-dead venom.
One mouthy git at the back of the club sarcastically applauds AEOABITAP (even their abbreviated form is unwieldy) for using the same drumbeat on successive songs, then snidely requests a C-chord. But he's completely missing the point of these fierce rock'n'roll Fauvists.
Also engaged in the deconstruction/ reconstruction of alternative rock – but an altogether looser proposition – are Vile Imbeciles. Formed by Andy Huxley, the stick-thin pretty boy with the wind-battered raven hair who used to play guitar with the mighty Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster (and has made an effortless transition to dashing frontman), Vile Imbeciles describe themselves as "death jazz", which is as decent a stab as any at pinning down their gleefully free-form freakouts.
At times, they remind me of the Make-Up (the testifying, funk-informed hardcore radicals formed by Nation of Ulysses' Ian Svenonius). There are even moments, for example on "Bad Ideas", when the Brighton quartet sound like someone trying to recreate hip hop by borrowing a garage rock band's instruments, rather than a rock band per se. At which point, it suddenly makes sense that they have Sly Stone as one of their top friends on MySpace.
These shows may only be two small victories in a long war, and there are many months to go, but, so far, 2009 feels like Scouting For Girls and the Hoosiers never happened.

Military Bases Reopen to Hunters
Four of Florida's military bases that closed their gates to hunters in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have reopened at least part of their facilities to hunters.
Eglin Air Force Base, near Ft. Walton Beach, is again selling permits to hunt on most of its land. Interested hunters should contact Eglin's Jackson Guard office at (850) 882-4164 for more information.
Tyndall Air Force Base, near Panama City, also has authorized hunting on the base's east hunt unit. Non-Department of Defense hunters can purchase permits at the Information and Tours office at the foot of Dupont Bridge. Others can purchase permits from the Natural Resources Building, No.1260. For more information, call (850) 283-2641.
Camp Blanding, the Florida National Guard installation at Starke, has reopened the north range. The area is north of SR 16 (also known as the still hunt area) and includes Archery Areas A, B and F. Camp Blanding has a daily quota of 400 hunters. Archery areas offer 85 permits. Daily quota permits are available at the check station on a first-come, first-served basis.
Avon Park Bombing Range, at Avon Park, is open to hunters off and on. To find out when it is open, hunters should call (863) 452-4254.

Upon publication of Harvest, Jim Crace announced he is putting down his pen. Having published thirteen books, and winning many awards (including the Whitbread Prize three times), Crace, like Philip Roth before him, plans to move on.
The title of his final novel is apropos of both the theme of the story and the end of his writing career. It's symbolic of the work he's reaped in nearly thirty years of writing and the harsh reality of the new world order faced by his characters. The "harvest," in both cases, represents the end of one way of life and the start of another.
Even though Jim Crace says that the setting and time of this novel are deliberately vague, Harvest would appear to be set in an insular medieval English village, probably around the 15th or 16th centuries when English wool became big business. The book opens during the final days of the yearly harvest, the villagers ...

text: Rediscovering Acres of Forgotten Books In a Grand Old Albany BasementKelsey Campbell-Dollaghan1/24/14 9:40amFiled to: librariesbooksalbanyarchitecturemedia233EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Amidst endless stories about the death of the printed word and the closing of America's libraries, another issue remains unresolved: What's to be done with all the leftover books? In Albany, administrators at the former State Library are embroiled in a debate over the value of books—and what's "too precious" to throw away. Advertisement The 102-year-old New York State Education Building, a grand old neoclassical monument in downtown Albany, stopped being the home to the State Library years ago. But in its cavernous basement, hundreds of thousands of books remain—and now, administrators are moving to get rid of them to make space, stirring up turmoil between historians and utilitarians alike. In a Times-Union story about the controversy, we get a vivid glimpse of the acres of dead media that have been forgotten for so long: Advertisement It is an eerie bibliophile's netherworld, accessible by cramped cages of creaky service elevators, dark and cool and redolent of mildew, old leather bindings and sloughing paper that litters the floor like snowflakes. There is no climate control among miles of metal shelves, and accessing the hundreds of thousands of volumes is an arduous task. From the time a patron requests a book at the State Library, it typically takes two days to retrieve. A clerk drives a van four blocks around the Plaza, descends into the stacks, hunts among the haphazard holdings and drives back with the book.Questions about the future of physical books aside: How incredible does that space sound? It makes me wonder how many other "forgotten" stacks are hidden in buildings across the country, waiting to be rediscovered by administrators looking to clean house. Who knows what they'll find. In the meantime, check out amazing interior shots of the basement stacks here. [Albany Times-Union] Sponsored Lead image: Matt WadeReply23 repliesLeave a reply

alpal17's Twisty Picture Challenge
Her heart was sadly broken
when death had claimed her mate
In a long black dress she mourned him
she thought about her final fate
The sky had turned a bitter gray
clouds formed above her head
As they did within her soul
not accepting he was dead
Underneath a red umbrella
hiding sorrows blame
Thunder rolled right through her
casting down its tears of shame
It mingled with her salty tears
her attention was its goal
Soaking through her ivory skin
she stood frozen wet and cold
Then lightening flashed before her eyes
for a moment she lost sight
then on the clouds she saw him
proudly on a stead of white
Then he shot a bolt of flaming fire
her troubled thoughts had ceased
It warmed her cold and weary heart
and put her mournful pain at ease

Help With Nexus 7 (2012) Bootloop Issue :(
Hi, The other day my Nexus 7's battery went, I put it on charge and when I switched it back on it was stuck on the Google splash screen. I left it quite a while till I tried to turn it off. It wouldn't turn off. I then found out how to get to the bootloader screen & tried various things there, But nothing worked. It's still stuck on the Google screen.
I then found out about the Wugs toolkit. I followed the instructions there but my Nexus won't unlock. I did the 'Flash Stock + Unroot' anyway, It didn't work (I think because the bootloader is locked)
Now I don't know what to try. I'm not really up to scratch on things like this so it's all pretty mind boggling. Does anyone have any ideas as to what will fix my issue?
The bootloader is version 4.23 and is locked. There is something called 'apply update from ADB' in the recovery menu. Could this work? I wouldn't know how to do it though.
Would appreciate any help. My Nexus is a few weeks out of warranty.

We love LEGO challenges, but my 4 year old and I love them for very different reasons. I love them because they build confidence, fine motor skills, and they keep her totally engaged while I cook/check email/have a conference call. She loves them because they are fun and challenging. Our most recent LEGO challenge was a St.Patrick's Day themed one and I really thought that the LEGO leprechaun and pot of gold would be super tricky but I was super wrong. She plowed through them like a pro. When I find and activity my daughter ( or my students at school) really likes and engages her I will adapt it from theme to theme. It's familiar but still new and she is excited to do something with the new theme. It keeps her interested and learning and I don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Gather your materials. I admit I LOVE creating these little LEGO creations. It takes me back to when I'd challenge myself as a child with LEGO. If this isn't your thing you can still do challenges with simple creations like these we did a few months back.
I always make two exactly the same and then dismantle one so my daughter has a model and all the pieces she needs to recreate it. Soon I will be putting all the pieces for all 4 in one pot and let her sort them, but we aren't there yet. No need to make this more challenging that needed. It's supposed to be fun.
I had planned to do this at my desk but when she saw the tray on the floor where I was getting an overhead shot of the materials she started building right there.
As she completed each creation she shifted around the tray. Oh and I have been asked by numerous readers about where I got this tray – Dollar Tree. It's held up very well too.
The pot of gold was shockingly simple for her to recreate, I thought the rainbow on the diagonal would pose a challenge but it didn't!
Even though the challenge wasn't easy she still loved them and these symbols of St.Patrick's Day gave us a chance to talk about leprechauns, rainbows with pots of gold and the end of them, and Ireland. That is the other main goal of these holiday themed activities to spark interest in the holiday, it's symbols and traditions.

This awesome beauty is another photo from my friend's garden. Dolores had such a beautiful garden this year, and her lupines were perfect, too!
Rebaree was a little wet from the rain shower that greeted my mom and I when we showed up at Dolores's, but I still got a photo or two of some nice plants.
I don't have a checklist with Rebaree in it, so it must be an iris introduced before 1970. ( I think it's 1969 but I forgot who the hybridizer was.

Lightsview Case Study (2015)
Lightsview, South Australia. Award winning development.
A 5 year review of using Healthy by Design on a new medium density development.

This discussion paper highlights that well designed and located, higher density neighbourhoods are desirable and add value to our community.
This discussion paper argues that:
- People living in higher density neighbourhoods undertake more walking and physical activity than people living in low density neighbourhoods
- Density and six other key built environment features work together to create walkable neighbourhoods
- Additional amenity makes density work and can enhance community acceptance of density

Healthy By Design SA aims to assist planners, urban designers and related professionals to design healthy urban environments that enable people to make healthy lifestyle choices and, in particular, to incorporate incidental physical activity – such as walking and cycling for transport and recreation – into their daily routine.
The guidelines include key action areas, objectives, design principles and considerations and explanatory statements. It also includes a Matrix of Design Considerations which highlights the synergies between healthy by design and a range of other key design agendas in order to support an integrated approach to urban design and reduce perceptions that the guidelines complete or conflict with other design agendas.
Streets for People : Compendium for South Australian Practice (2012) click image to download resource
Being active is good for the health of South Australians, our economy and our environment. But the reality of our modern lives is that many struggle to reach healthy levels of daily physical activity.
There is growing recognition by built environment professionals and health practitioners that urban form and street design can play a role in increasing physical activity to prevent chronic disease and enhance health and wellbeing.
We want to reclaim streets as not solely the domain of motor vehicles but also for pedestrians and cyclists and as public spaces for social and commercial interaction. Putting people first and creating pedestrian and cycle friendly environments, which will make our communities more vibrant, safe and healthy.

The growing accountability movement got a major shot in the arm recently when it learned that on April 19, an Argentinian judge sentenced the last of Argentina's dictators, Reynaldo Bignone, age 83, to 25 years in prison. Bignone's crime: kidnapping and torturing 56 victims in a concentration camp during the reign of terror known as the "dirty war" that gripped Argentina from 1976-1983. This is huge, surpassing the arrest of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet in his hospital bed back in 1998. (Pinochet died before justice could be done). The conviction of a former head of state for crimes he committed while in office sends a powerful message to all those suspected war criminals still on the loose, including some of the top leaders of the Bush administration.Read More..

The men in our lives deserve something special. They deserve to be pampered with attention, love and the occasional gifts. When deciding on giving on giving that special gift to that special one in your life, here is a simple trick to remember: any form of jewelry is for a woman while a trusty wrist watch is for men. Men's watches are said to be the perfect touch and will complete the look for making men become dashingly debonair.
What would you consider him to be? Is he the outdoorsy type who loves to go out fishing or adventuring in the great outdoors? Does he seem like the sports fella who loves shooting hoops and doing billiards during the weekend? Or is he the laid back type who gives out a very formal appeal? This is one of the first things you have to consider when looking for men's watches for sale.
There are basically two kinds of watches: analog and digital. An analog watch has two or three hands and usually containing a face with numbers. The two hands point to the time. A digital watch on the other hand, displays the exact time in numbers on the Liquid Crystal Display. Mens digital watches are preferred by most athletes considering that they can tell the exact time, up until the second.
For some men, collecting men's wrist watches is a hobby. Rolex watches, Tag Heuer watches as well as other designer watches are but inevitable pieces in a men's wrist watches collection. While men can not be seen as wearing jewelry, wrist watches are the perfect excuse for men to don a little flash without having to go overboard.

An Ohio coffee shop is spreading holiday cheer with a heartwarming gesture that goes beyond festive cups and flavored drinks.
Nervous Dog Coffee Bar in Stow, Ohio, caught a man stealing cash from its tip jar, reported Channel 3, an NBC affiliate station in Cleveland. Store security cameras caught the theft on tape.
"He stuck his hand straight into the tip jar and took out as much as he could get and walked out like nothing happened," Manager Scott Moses told Channel 3.
Instead of pressing charges, the shop let the man go, and started up a food drive for his benefit.
"We assume that if he was desperate enough to steal tips, he's probably in desperate times," he said.
Nervous Dog posted the video to Facebook, asking for food donations and for the thief to come forward to collect them. If he does not, the station said, the donations will go to the local food pantry.
The gesture prompted debate online. While some supported the coffee shop's effort, others said it was rewarding a thief, Channel 3 reported.
