Huffington Post: Colorado Brewery On Banks Of Flooding St. Vrain River Survives With Help Of Malt Bags

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 10:26 AM PDT

Colorado's devastating flood has resulted in the destruction or serious damage of nearly 20,000 structures, but one brewery right on the banks of one of the state's overflowing rivers survived with a little help from some malt.

The St. Vrain River, normally one to two feet deep, spilled way over its banks for days during the catastrophic flooding in Colorado and caused extensive damage to area communities in the North. And although it sustained some damage, Longmont-based Left Hand Brewing Co. made it through by using malt bags, instead of sand bags, to shore up the brewery as the mighty St. Vrain roared just feet from its doorstep.

Left Hand posted this photo of the "maltbagging" on their Facebook page:

Huffington Post: 17 Epic Beehive Hairstyles We're Still Buzzing About (PHOTOS)

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 10:27 AM PDT

Beehive hair has become synonymous with big-name musical acts from across the pond such as Dusty Springfield, Amy Winehouse and Adele. But did you know that the towering hairdo was created by retired Chicago hairstylist Margaret Vinci Heldt?

While trying to come up with a hair trend that would define the '60s for Modern Beauty Shop magazine, Heldt was inspired by a hat she owned to fashion this sky-high hairstyle. The vintage hair mag coined it the "beehive," and a bandwagon effect ensued -- suddenly, everyone from stay-at-home moms to pop stars and Hollywood actresses were requesting the 'do.

The beehive's height has had its ups and downs over the years, as women incorporate side-swept bangs and ponytails. However, it is still one of the most popular '60s hairstyles that stars sport on the red carpet today.
