The 1960s were a time of cultural revolution, with music leading the way. From the clubs of Los Angeles to the fields of Woodstock, fans were up in the front row, but it was the groupies who had the backstage pass.
The term "groupie" came to define the young women who followed bands across the country and sometimes around the world.
"A fan is very content to stay home and listen to the music, but the groupie wants to meet them," said Pamela Des Barres, the ultimate groupie who partied with everyone from the Doors to the Who to the Rolling Stones, and whose 1987 autobiography is called "I'm With the Band."
The Cameron Crowe film "Almost Famous" looked at the secret life of rock stars on the road, and in the movie the term "groupie" was practically an insult.
"We are not groupies," said the character Penny Lane, played by Kate Hudson.
"Groupies sleep with rock stars because they want to be near someone famous," she continued. "We're here because of the music. We inspire the music. We are Band-Aides."
Des Barres, who made following bands her entire life, said gaining entree into the backstage world of rock bands was simple.
"When I was 16, 17 years old, a blond flower-child on the Sunset Strip, it was very easy," she said. "All I did was knock on the backstage doors."
Artist Cynthia Plaster Caster became a fixture in Los Angeles clubs, following Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin … to name a few.
"We would usually go to the hotel and hang out in the lobby," she said. "If we could get into the hotel, past the security. If not, we would wait outside, then they would kind of wave us in the hotel. "
Born Cynthia Albritton, she began going by Plaster Caster while pursuing an idea she got in art school: to immortalize the male anatomies of famous rock stars in plaster cast. Hendrix was her first and most famous subject.
The life was fast and full of sex, drugs and rock and roll. The groupies were in the center of it all, up close and often very personal with their favorite stars.
Bebe Buell's list of ex's include Todd Rundgren, Mick Jagger and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, who is the father of her daughter, actress Liv Tyler.
"Steven gave me a beautiful daughter," Buell said. "Todd introduced me to the world I always dreamed of being a part of. Mick introduced me to culture. Rod Stewart helped me to realize what I didn't want in a boyfriend."
Groupies, and girlfriends, often inspired the artists they were with.
Pattie Boyd was a groupie when she met George Harrison, married him and was the inspiration for the song, "Something."
Boyd, who met Harrison while filming the movie "A Hard Day's Night," was the muse behind three of the most famous songs of the era.
While she and Harrison were breaking up, she was being wooed by her husband's good friend Eric Clapton, who declared his love with his own song, "Layla."
"He said, 'I've got something for you to hear,'" she recalled. "And he put it the cassette machine and played it and I'm just [thinking], Oh gosh, this is unbelievable. And he was just looking at me and he's saying, 'This is for you. I've written this for you.'"
Boyd was the inspiration for Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," also the title of her memoir.
"I was onstage with the Who, I was on stage with the Stones," said Des Barres. "It felt like being in the band!"
But the life was not without heartbreak.

Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions
Are you wanting to sell or purchase an aircraft, but aren't sure where to start? We can help. Let the experts at HPA guide you step-by-step through the process.
What kind of airplane should I buy?
First, you must consider the mission of your aircraft. Will you primarily be flying by yourself? With friends and family? Do you need to fly in and out of short grass fields and haul high payloads? Or is speed and efficiency the important factor? Either way, we can help you identify an aircraft that meets your needs.
More than meets the eye
Aircraft owners are generally smart, successful individuals who excel in their trade. They are the experts at what they do. When it comes to buying an airplane, they sometimes feel as though they can make the purchase on their own without the need for assistance. This might be true, however, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will get the best value in the airplane you buy. A "good deal" does not always turn out to be a good deal in the long run.
Having worked with numerous clients who have bought aircraft on their own, it is not uncommon to find significant maintenance discrepancies or hidden problems on their newly purchased aircraft. After feeling like they got a "steal" on their aircraft purchase, they quickly realize that spending money for expert guidance earlier could have saved them from the high cost and hassle of hidden issues.
The Airplane Buying Process
- Defining the mission
- Choosing the aircraft
- Market evaluation and analysis
- Choosing the top candidates
- Evaluating the history and maintenance records
- Pre-buy inspection & flight evaluation
- Final negotiations
- Purchase agreement
- Escrow & title search
- Aircraft closing
We can help guide you through every step of the airplane buying process to help you have a pleasant and enjoyable experience, rather than a stressful one. Our services also provide assistance with insurance, financing, and training arrangements.
Selling Your Airplane?
We can assist you with all aspects of the selling your aircraft including the following:
- Establishing a worldwide marketing campaign
- Determining the appropriate resale value and listing price
- Providing online and print advertising
- Screening phone calls and qualifying prospects
- Assisting with negotiations

- Guiding you through the escrow and title transfer process

I met Coach Whittington at two Oregon Women's Basketball events. I felt she was very bright, engaging and a great representative of the U of O. No doubt she did a good job here. I wish her well and feel that she will be a head Coach at some point.
I used to think Nick was a pretty smart guy, but, Paris Hilton -- PUHLEEZE ! Hope he was joking ?. And, Nick, stay within yourself, drop the show boat stuff.
getadog: I agree, The Blazers should not try to out think K.P. , I feel sure K.P. would enjoy pulling Paul Allen's shorts down on draft day.
Neil Olshey seems to have great long term vision.
I agree, you build through the draft, not trying to out think the room. 6 & 11 will give the Blazers 2 really good players. Usually players who are on the trade for draft pick block are there for a reason. We don't need huge Egos with jaded attitudes.
This is obscene ! $300 million and 10 years to complete a 5.5 mi stretch of highway project. Who is responsible and accountable for this obscenity ? Did odot do this all by themselves ? It no wonder Oregon is in such tough financial shape.
My guess is, no one is responsible or accountable for this disaster -- It just happened.
WHAT the HELL is the matter with you Martin. Snap out of it ! You should be banned from reporting or writing anything. What's your number on the hot seat scale ?
After listening to his post workout comments I have changed the way I feel about him. I thought he answered the questions directly and addressed the "Cocky" issue well. While i noe like him, I don't feel he fits the Blazers priorities. I'm still going Lillard at 6 and a big at 11.
hasa: You are right on ! I don't think the Duck Athletic Fund cares about us long time donors. They keep pushing up prices until we older, long time supporters hit the wall. As the realization sets in that we have been squeezed out, our shelf life has expired, the next generation of eager Duck Fans flock in behind us. As their shelf life begins, they accept the outrages prices as their norm. We have been replaced and the Band plays on !
Should the Blazers draft Austin Rivers ? NO ! Lillard at 6 and then a big at 11.
Good points !
Damian Lillard: "I know I belong here, I know I can compete at this level". He came off as confident but not brash and cocky. I think he felt a real connection with the Blazers. He said he took 13 shots avg. per game and scored a lot of points. Sounds like code for "The dude can shoot". Sounded like he understands a point guard is a distributor first and would really like playing with LA.
I've changed my mind from Marshall at 6 to Lillard. I liked him !
Why did the Blazers have the Thursday group workout? Robbie Hummel-2 ACL surgery's -not expected to be drafted. The others also not expected to be drafted. Maybe this workout is the high lite of their career's. They'll now be able to say they worked out for an NBA wanna be team. Hope they got some autographs for their Mom's memorabilia book. Come on Blazers, don't you have anything more productive to do ? Here's a thought: Work at finding a Coach !
It's going to take some time for Dana Altman to dig us out of the hole Ernie buried us and himself in. Coach Altman, as noted is a great Xs&Os coach and he will get the recruits. The program is on an upswing and will continue to grow. The last time I was as excited about a new BB coach was when Oregon hired Don Munson however, I don't expect the disappointment that followed his hiring.
One upon a day in 2007, Clay Bennett was in the Baron's Den at his Club with some of his fellow Barons, enjoying a cigar and sipping on a Bourbon and Branch when one of them says: Sure be nice to have an NBA team here in OKC. I'm tired of flying to Dallas or San Antonio to see a game, makes for a long day.
Another of his buds says: Yeah, it would. I'd be willing to put money up to make that happen.
Then Clay Bennett says: You know, I had a good year last month lets do it.
Thus the beginning of the end of Pro-Basketball in Seattle began.
Once they targeted the Sonics there was no way the Sonics were going to remain in Seattle.
The OKC Barons didn't want to have to fly to NBA games anymore.
The OKC Thunder was born and they celebrated their win in the Baron's Den at the Club.
There was nothing Sonic fans or the State of Washington could do. The Barons had their NBA team.
And Sonic fans, in stunned disbelief screamed: WHAT JUST HAPPENED? the end
A move to Oregon ? Too much for him to handle, he wanted to stay close to his Mama. Play ground Players don't want to get too far from the chain nets.
Another bad day in the dark world of Pro-Boxing : Bob Arum's plan is right where he wants it. Pacquiao loses, Pacquiao wins and the third fight ends in a draw. As Arum said, he will make a lot of money on these fights, he manages both fighters. Arum's reaction was predictable: Disbelief, shock, outrage and a call for a State of Nevada investigation. All a Smoke Screen ! And the Band plays on. $$$$$$$.

You do not take a project player with a #6 or any where in the first round. "Projects" are late round picks.

Nadine Script
- Designer: Gert Wiescher
- Design foundry: Wiescher Design
- Source: Wiescher Design
Nadine is an elegant script inspired by a set of initials the French designer and artist, Bernard Naudin, drew for Deberny & Peignot in the 1920s. The typeface is called "Nadine" because it sounds similar to Naudin (which was already taken as a font name) – and thus pays further homage to the original designer.
Nadine HistoryOpen
One of the most underestimated designers of his time, Naudin preferred to "follow his own music" rather than creating typefaces that were merely fashionable. Gert Wiescher, the designer of Nadine, painstakingly drew three sets of characters using the original Naudin capital letters as his model. These are intended to work together to create custom and personalized headlines. The "Normal" font has modest capitals and open lowercase letters which are perfect for longer blocks of copy, while the "Extra" font has slightly narrower capitals and a different set of lowercase letters – in addition to a suite of medieval ciphers. Finally, the "StartEnd" font contains elaborate capitals to begin a line of text and lowercase "ending" letters to finish paragraphs and blocks of copy. All three are available as a convenient font package.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2003 U.S. troop strength in South Korea can be reduced because of technological advances in military art and lessons learned from combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, the nation's No. 2 military officer said here today.
"I personally believe that the numbers of U.S. troops in Korea can, in fact, be reduced, at the same time that the U.S. capabilities to defend Korea are increased," Marine Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told attendees at the Council on U.S.-Korean Security Studies here.
DoD is assessing its global force posture, or "footprint," Pace explained, as part of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's mandate to transform the U.S. military into a leaner, meaner, and more agile fighting force for the 21st century.
Consequently, "we may want to rearrange the (U.S. military) footprint on the Korean peninsula," Pace said at the Heritage Foundation-sponsored event, "to be able to move more quickly and to be able to thwart" potential threats, such as an invasion from North Korea.
Today, about 37,000 American troops are stationed in South Korea, a force posture that "has served us very well" for some years now, the four-star general said.
However, Pace noted that harnessing technology and employing lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq provide "the opportunity to do a better, more efficient, more effective defense of Korea with our Korean counterparts in a way that will benefit both of our countries."
The general emphasized that any reduction of American troop strength on the Korean peninsula would not be the result of unilateral action of the United States, and could occur only after the issue is worked between the United States and South Korea.
Military technology has made tremendous strides since World War II, Pace pointed out, when inaccurate, so-called "dumb" bombs were used against the Axis powers. In contrast, he cited the proven lethality and accuracy of today's precision munitions used against enemy troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Airplanes could drop "3,000 bombs to hit one target in World War II," Pace explained, and "now one airplane can drop 10 bombs and hit 10 targets."
Accordingly, Rumsfeld's transformational doctrine maintains that most of today's U.S. force structure is based on a World War II model, when large land, air, and naval forces were expected to engage in huge battles of attrition with a similarly armed enemy.
With the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, such a "peer" competitor no longer exists, the defense secretary has often pointed out. However, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States underlined the fact that new, deadly threats to U.S. national security remain.
Then-U.S. Central Command Gen. Tommy Franks, Pace noted, took today's new military capabilities into account when he formulated the battle plan for ousting Saddam Hussein's regime from Iraq.
Consequently, Pace continued, Franks' war plan for Iraq was "based on a much smaller force that got the job done very quickly," compared to the much larger, World War II-sized force deployed to oust Saddam from Kuwait more than a decade ago.
And smaller, technologically enhanced ground forces will likely provide the template for tomorrow's military, he maintained.
Pace also noted that about 700 South Korean military are serving alongside U.S. and other allied forces in Iraq. He welcomed the possibility that more South Korean troops may be on the way.
The general praised the capabilities of South Korea's military, noting he was "very proud to stand next to them on the battlefield."

SPRINGDALE (KFSM) – A new year, a new conference, and a new coach. But, Shiloh Christian doesn't seem to be afraid of change.
"Coach Conaway, I mean he's put a fire in us that's given us a set of confidence that we know we can believe in him, and he can believe in us," senior quarterback Ben Olsen said. "It's just going out there and getting the job done."
New Saints head coach, Jeff Conaway, has big shoes to fill. Previous coach, Josh Floyd was with Shiloh for 10 years and brought home four state titles. That's something coach Conaway says he doesn't expect to change here.
"We're not trying to reestablish Shiloh Christian," Conaway said. "We want to build on the tradition that we already have. So, we want to add value to the areas we may be weak in, and we want to get real strong in those areas and just play Shiloh Christian football."
The Saints make a move down to 4A also this year, a conference where they are expected to be a top dog. But, they aren't listening to the hype and are staying focused.
"The competition at the 4A level is extremely good. We know that the teams are extremely well coached. And so, we're going to have our work cut out for us. We hope to play Shiloh Christian football. We want to compete for championships. We want to compete for conference and state championships. Those are two of our big goals this year," Conaway said.
All goals to keep the Shiloh Christian tradition alive.

Getting your little one to sleep like a baby can be a lot easier said than done. Huggies has compiled articles, advice and answers on how to get both you and your newborn snoozing soundly.
Or try browsing all categories.
Potty training is just one of the bathroom skills kids have to master; there's also washing and brushing. Here's how to show them the way.
Deal with the dawdling. Your toddler is more interested in playing with the water than actually scrubbing his hands. He'd rather eat the toothpaste than brush with it. This is totally normal. "Kids typically dawdle because they have no concept of time or your desire to get to the latest episode of 'Mad Men' on your DVR," says Jen Singer, author of the Stop Second-Guessing Yourself series of parenting books. "Some kids love to hold Mommy and Daddy 'hostage.' For them, it's about control." She recommends using a timer. "Once it rings, you can step in and finish up," she says. "Chances are that your little one will learn how to clean up before that bell rings."
Do it together. Every morning, Jennifer Berg of Cape Coral, Florida, plays a game she made up for her toddler called "Get Ready with Mommy." "We brush our teeth together, and he loves it," she says. To get him started, she roars like a lion. Then he roars back, opening his mouth wide so Berg can start the brushing. When she's done, she hands the toothbrush to him, and he brushes alongside mom—top, sides, back, and don't forget the tongue.
Let them watch. A spray bottle of water and a mirror help Leslie Perlman, a mom of three in New York City, get the knots out of her little girl's hair. "She loves to stand on a stool and look in the mirror as she sprays her hair and watches me brush or braid it," Perlman says. Watching with fascination what her mom is doing helps stop the fidgeting that had made hair brushing such a chore before.
Have a theme song. Music helps Kirsten Seckler, a mom in Springfield, Virginia, motivate her son to be a thorough hand washer. To the tune "Frere Jacques" he sings, "Tops and bottoms, tops and bottoms, in between, in between. Scrubba-scrubba-scrubba, scrubba-scrubba-scrubba. Now they're clean. Now they're clean." Create your own song for tooth brushing to whatever music you like, be it the Beatles or Black Eyed Peas.

Now that my third child is 12 weeks old, I can say I survived the first 3 months of being a mom of three children, including a newborn and a stubborn 2-year-old. Not only that, but we managed to get out of the house a lot this summer. As a full-time working mom, maternity leave almost feels like a vacation. Maternity leave means doing things with the kids I can only dream of, such as story time, walks to the park, lazy mornings, and after nap snuggles. Let's not forget nursing a newborn on the couch, while tracing every inch of his small little body with my finger. While on maternity leave, I refused to sit at home just because I had a newborn.
When you have more than one child you don't have the option of napping on the couch with your baby. Why not get out of the house and enjoy these days?
I will admit I was a little nervous heading into this summer, having three kids at home with me all day long. Then Ryker was born and I fell in love with my family all over. Sure there were hard days when the 4 and 2 year old fought all day long or refused to eat breakfast and lunch. The good days made up for the hard ones though. I found that when we got out of the house my boys fought much less. They love being active and on the go, so that is what we did. Here are some tips that kept me sane on our outings no matter how big or small.
I can't emphasize this enough, wearing your newborn will make your life much easier. A newborn needs and wants to be close to mom. Studies have shown that babies who are worn cry much less. Not only that, but baby wearing frees up your hands. Baby wearing allows you to chase your toddler around on the playground or grocery shop, while nursing your newborn. Not all baby carriers are created equal and not all babies are alike. There are many different types of baby carriers for all body types. If you are having a difficult time finding a baby carrier that works for you or your baby don't give up. Seek out advice from other mom's or visit Baby Wearing International to find a local baby wearing group near you.
Things seem to run smoother if I organize all of our gear (snacks, diapers, extra sets of clothes, and toys) the night before an outing, after the kids are in bed. Then in the morning I can focus on just one or two tasks instead of a long list, in order for us to get out of the house.
If you are feeling really nervous about chasing around your toddler while caring for your newborn when you are out and about, invite a friend to come with you. This way you will feel obligated to go, instead of coming up with an excuse to not go. Also, another set of hands is always useful, particularly at an all-day outing like the zoo.
You've got this. So what if there are meltdowns and diaper blow outs? Nothing in motherhood ever goes as planned. Take a deep breath and enjoy this time with your little ones. They will never be as small as they are today, so you might as well take the time to explore fun activities with them at this age.
What are your biggest challenges when running errands or going on outings with 2 under the age of 2?

Baby sign language — when babies use modified gestures from American Sign Language — can be an effective communication tool. Teaching and practicing baby sign language also can be fun and give you and your child an opportunity to bond.
Limited research suggests that baby sign language might give a typically developing child a way to communicate several months earlier than those who only use vocal communication. This might help ease frustration between ages 8 months and 2 years — when children begin to know what they want, need and feel but don't necessarily have the verbal skills to express themselves. Children who have developmental delays might benefit, too. Further research is needed, however, to determine if baby sign language promotes advanced language, literacy or cognition.
To begin teaching your child baby sign language, familiarize yourself with signs through books, websites or other sources. To get the most out of your baby sign language experience, keep these tips in mind:
Keep in mind that, as you teach baby sign language, it's important to continue talking to your child. Spoken communication is an important part of your child's speech development.

tot will scramble to sit on this bright and sunny perch when he
realizes it plays songs and phrases each time he gets up. Smaller babies
are equally entertained by lifting the seat to peek inside or hide
blocks and books. We also love the light-up remote and flipbook that
never get lost-they're smartly attached to the chair's arms. And this
genius toy's content can be updated with new songs and more complicated
phrases to challenge your toddler's developing mind. Ages 6-36 months,
wooden playthings are always in style, but we can't forget those
brilliant tech toys! This 2-in-1 soccer and hoop combo counts baskets
after every swish and chirps a happy noise when a goal is scored. It
also features twisty gears, a book to "read" and three buttons to press
to hear silly tunes and learn shapes and opposites. But it's the super
cute LED screen on top displaying animated shorts and calling out
letters and numbers that makes this toy a slam dunk. Ages 1-3, $40.
to run a zoo! Younger kids can try to fit the animals in each box, while
older ones will notice the built-in clues (the side panels match each
creature's color) to quickly find the right homes. Ages 18 months+, $40.
blocks are the gateway toy to Lego, perfectly sized to fit chubby hands
and designed for easy manipulation. Of course your toddler can practice
his building skills, but he'll also learn what happens at the grocery
store as he plays alongside Mom or Dad. Driving, parking, strolling the
aisles, choosing bread or apples, paying with the "money" block and then
loading up the car to go home are all chances to reinforce language,
colors and counting. Ages 2+, $25.
adorable memory game uses the ladybug's spots to cover up the
answers-just lift a black circle to make a match. Inserting different
disks, including ones with farm animals, colored fish and vegetables,
changes up the game and tests your toddler with more a challenging array
of choices. We also love the compact size, perfect for popping into a
carry on bag or beach tote for this summer's vacation. Ages 2+, $30.
young toy designer had this microscope idea in his portfolio and was
able to turn it into a winner for future scientists. Three lenses
(clear, colored and kaleidoscopic) can be placed on the scope and peered
through to examine different specimens. Turn the side crank to adjust
the "focus," and then let your tot discover new germs in the Petri
dish-or simply gaze at the cool patterns on the geometric disk. Quiet
exploring for a toddler? Priceless. Ages 2+, $30.
colors and a multitude of shapes decorate this attractive
indoor/outdoor climbing structure. Babies can learn to pull up by
holding on to the squares on the lower level, while older tots will
scramble through the tunnel to reach the middle of the dome. It's a
fort, a clubhouse, a jungle gym, a pirate ship-or anything else your
child imagines it to be. Ages 3-6, $150.
simple rectangular pieces can be elegantly stacked, creating a lovely
tree in graduated shades of yellow and green. But beyond this Zen object
is a fun game to be played with the six birds. Take turns arranging the
fowl on the branches-without tipping it over (whoever places the most,
wins). And don't just build a vertical tree! Stack the pieces on end and
top with others to make a fence or bird-on-a-wire design. Ages 3+, $15.
chic three-level abode features mod patterns on the walls,
color-coordinated furniture and smart details (a flat screen, lamps,
tiny bath towel, matching throw rugs-even a Lucite elevator that
operates via pulley). The DIY aspect comes into play at back of the
house-there are three chalkboard inserts for drawing doors, windows,
flower gardens and trees. Four of the rooms are set (bath, bed, living
and kitchen), leaving the top two spaces completely open-ended. Your
young homeowner might create a home gym, office-or an art studio. Ages
3+, $200.
to see the four sweet finger puppets act out your budding thespian's latest tale. Ages 3+, $60.
ink in two
different colors. This kit is packed with crayons, stickers, colored
pencils, construction paper, safety scissors and stickers so your kid
can decorate placemats, wrapping paper, birthday cards and more. Ages
3+, $20.
to build a 3-D yellow and green ostrich? What about a toucan with a
triangular beak? A modern zoo or African safari is easy to create: all
of the 83-piece Magformers magnets attract and connect and are safely
tucked away inside brightly colored building shapes. P.S. If your
geometry's a little rusty, bone up before you sit down to play-this set
contains hexagons and trapezoids! Ages 3+, $150.
love an ice-cold soda or a Chipwich from a street
vendor? This toy recalls that classic New York City icon, complete with
hot dogs, pretzels, ketchup and mustard, and all the creamy treats kids
love-Popsicles, cones, lemon ice and more. The bright awning advertises
savory choices on one side and then flips to show sweets on the other.
Plus, this cart really rolls, so kids can move it around the house or
backyard as they sell their products. Ages 3+, $200.
were instantly sold on the easy-grip magnetized parts that make this
toy a breeze for little hands to assemble. The play is two-fold: Not
only can the structure be newly made each time (there's not just one way
to build the factory), but your worker bee will delight in dropping the
silver ball down the chute so it lands in the dump truck. He's learning
cause and effect when the ball rolls and also honing fine motor skills
as he snaps the pieces into place, which makes this pick a win-win. Ages
3+, $50.
pears for sale! Plus bananas, oranges, apples and such, all adorably
stacked in this handsome wooden fruit stand. Lots of hands-on learning
takes place in a produce shop (counting, sorting, colors), as well as
pretend play (buying, selling, even "tasting"!). Two small chalkboards
are ready to display the day's specials, and the striped awning shades
your young shopkeeper's wares. We also love how quick it is to build
this item-just seven screws hold the pieces in place. Ages 3+, $80.
train sets end up spread all over the living room or require a big
table to accommodate the tracks. But this smart one from good ol' Thomas
has a compact vertical design that can easily rest on a bookcase or
coffee table. A magnetic crane, cargo car and that familiar blue engine
are included, along with tracks, a tunnel and easy-to-assemble walls.
And the three roomy levels mean there's room for a little brother to
take a turn as conductor and help push the cars. Ages 3+, $200.
allure of a marble run is watching the tiny ball wend its way down,
down the track, around the curves, dropping through holes until it
arrives at the final destination-a little cup or bowl. This version is a
takeoff on the classic, but with a wild twist: Safari creatures are
incorporated into the run, including a giraffe, an elephant and
crocodile "steps." Multiple track designs can be built and little blocks
can be added-and then toppled-at the end for an extra laugh. Ages 3+,
are always behind woman
entrepreneurs-and this Barbie is no exception! She's been a nurse, an
Olympian and a dentist-and she's also taught aerobics, ministered to
pets and run for President. But Barbie's latest endeavor is definitely
the most creative-and contemporary: She's starting her own business. Her
chic dress and black patent pumps channel Audrey Hepburn, yet her
briefcase is filled with the most modern of gadgets, including an iPhone
and iPad.
rainy day? Your kids just might pray for wet weather for a chance to
break into this can of awesomeness. Snip the textured and patterned
paper into puppets, monsters, animals and more, and then decorate with
pom-poms, feathers, googly eyes and foam shapes. Add in the glue, clay
and colorful Popsicle sticks and the possibilities increase
exponentially. We plan to grab this kit for our own kids as well as a
couple of extras to stash in the closet for upcoming spring and summer
birthdays. Ages 4+, $20.
Some research says that six-month-olds are not ready for books, which I personally disagree with.
I haven't had the luxury of doing an enormous study but I did read to Cedar practically from birth and by a year and a half he'd sit and look at books on his own. Now have a six-year-old who really loves story time. So I'm going with the earlier you start the better.
However, there's a difference between reading to your baby and making reading time fit your baby.
For instance, while your little one is still into eating rather than reading make sure you offer her books she can safely nibble. There are plenty of baby-proof, rip-free, fabric and soft plastic books out there. She can see words but not seriously harm the book.
Look at the book; don't simply read. It's okay to flip through a book and just talk about it with your baby or toddler. Ask questions about the pictures or place your finger on a picture or word and say it.
Grab a good mix. I've never limited the books I've read to Cedar by reading level. If he picks out a book "meant" for three- or nine-year-olds I don't argue. He loves books for many age groups and is even starting to like books with few pictures like Where the Sidewalk Ends.
Don't say no to repeats. Your baby and soon-to-be toddler will fall in love with certain books and you should read them over and over if that's what she wants. The first word Cedar ever recognized and pointed out on his own was a hard word. It was "Harold" which is likely due to the fact that he's made me read Harold and the Purple Crayon about 1,345 times.
Keep books within easy reach but make book rules. I'm pretty chill and we don't have all that many rules at my house. But since Cedar was a baby, I have stressed that he doesn't hurt books EVER. You don't color in them, rip them, step on them, etc. I have always kept his library of books where he can reach them and he's never hurt one yet. If you make books important, your baby will realize from the start that they are.
Don't just read at bedtime. Read as often as possible and give books, not toys, as some of your baby's birthday and holiday gifts.
These eight good signs that mean your baby might be teething. Many of these signals can indicate something else though. If you have lingering doubts that one of these is not caused by teething, call or see your baby's doctor.
Without having to ask and ask (and ask and ask and….)
Streamline the task: "We use my kids' bottom two dresser drawers for toy storage in their rooms. They're sturdy and accessible, and don't require elaborate sorting, like many of the 'organization solutions' out there," says Meagan Vanover, a mom of two in New Haven, Michigan. "Since my toddlers can handle it without becoming overwhelmed, they do put their toys away when I ask—and usually without fussing!"
Communicate consistency: "Toddlers better handle the expectation of picking up their toys if it is a consistent one. For instance, a toddler will challenge a parent who wants toys picked up before bedtime if that same parent was okay with leaving the toys out the night before," says Annette DelCanto-Ellington, an Austin, Texas-based psychotherapist and a mom of two. "Clearly communicate your expectation by using a statement like, 'From now on we will pick up all of the toys every night before bedtime,' and then follow through." If you must deviate from the norm, explain why (say, you've gotten home late), so the lapse doesn't seem random.
Create a game: "My toddlers may not always want to put away their toys, but they do always want to play games," says Erin McGraw, a mother of two from Dublin. "I make cleaning up more interesting for them by setting a goal for the number of items they'll put away, and then creating a race to see who can get there first."
Build in transition time: "About 90 percent of all stressful situations between parents and children are time-related," says DelCanto-Ellington. "Allowing your toddler enough time to pick up before bedtime, or any other activity transition, is crucial in keeping tensions to a minimum."
Use your imagination: "The only surefire way I've gotten my kids to pick up their toys is by introducing the 'Toy Fairy' into our lives," says Sara Rylander, a mom of two in Kennesaw, Georgia. "Rumor has it she comes while the kids are sleeping and takes away any toys that are left out of place. She's never actually claimed anything. If my kids whine about picking up, I just say something like, 'Well, as long as you don't mind if the Toy Fairy thinks that toy is as fun as you do…' and they spring into action!"
Adopt the 'monkey see, monkey do' mentality: "Children possess a natural desire to be involved in whatever their families are up to," says DelCanto-Ellington. "This is why kids like toy vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers—they want to do what they see their parents doing, and don't yet define some of that as 'work' versus 'play.' Take advantage! Making cleaning up a family activity means you model the behavior you're simultaneously teaching your children. And you'll have a tidy house to show for it."
Bath time with a toddler can get pretty wet and wild. Here are some simple games guaranteed to pump up your tub fun.
Don't forget the basics: "After spending money on countless bath toy gizmos that didn't live up to their claims, I've found that the simplest things in the bath work best for us," says Lisa Noel, a mom of three in Zion, Illinois. "We keep only plastic drinking cups, and a collection of foam shapes and letters. These toys never get old!" Also try plastic pitchers, measuring cups, and bowls; toddlers love to dump water from one container into another.
Let them write on the walls: Pick up tub crayons for tiled walls and let your little Picasso have at it. You can also make it a teaching moment by scribbling letters or numbers. Self-expression, alphabet review, and a scrubdown? Tub trifecta!
Do American Tub Idol: Sure, there's the classic "Rubber Duckie, You're The One," but you can also encourage your child to make up her own songs. One idea: Belt out tunes where you name the body parts that are being scrubbed ("This is the way we wash our arms, wash our arms, wash our arms…").
Have backup bubbles: "We found colored tablets that turn the bath water different colors. My daughters squeal as I make red water into purple water, or blue water into green," says Richele McFarlin, a mom of four from Toledo, Ohio. "If I don't have any of these on hand, I always—always—have bubble bath. Even if bubbles are the only bath accessory, the party is on!"
Play hair salon: Lather your child's hair with shampoo, shape it into a fun style, and hold up a mirror so he can admire his new look. Spikey mohawk, anyone? Have your camera handy—you're guaranteed some priceless photo ops.

And even though he's just absolutely perfect in my eyes, we're moving ahead and have penciled in physically therapy twice a month. So what are we hoping to get out of these sessions? Basically, to learn different exercises and activities to encourage active play.
You see, he's a very content baby. So content in fact, that he's perfectly happy to just sit on the floor without attempting to crawl or move around.
This week, we were taught three new exercises to work on:
1. One to encourage sitting up on his own. Instead of me putting baby Paul down on his rump every time I set him down to play, I now put him down on his belly (which he does not like very much), and then through a series of movements, help him roll over into upright sitting position.
2. One to encourage core strength. Paul has a very mild case of Diastasis Recti, which is a very common abdominal malformation found in babies, and in time will hopefully correct itself. But because of this condition, his core is weaker than most children his age. But because of Diastasis Recti, we're working on strengthening his little belly with modified "baby sit-ups".
3. One to encourage mobility. Simple stuff like putting a toy just out of his reach, so he has to stretch off his bottom to grab it. His current favorite toy that he always wants to play with is this little BAMBI Thumper pal, which makes clicking and rattling noises when handled.
I will admit, many of the tips we've been given thus far by the physical therapist sound like "no-brainer" activities. But because my other three kids crawled by 6 months, and even walked by 11 months (which I now know is early), I think I've taken for granted simple milestones such as sitting up independently and learning to crawl by the first year.
So we're in uncharted baby terrirory. But baby Paul is a trooper, and he's super fun to play with so I don't mind working with him on this minor mobility issues.
Is your child so attached to his binkie that you worry he'll head off to college with the darn thing? Relax: There are ways to separate them. Now. Moms share what worked for them.
Donate them (so to speak). "I created a 'letter' from my son's favorite cartoon characters that we put in an envelope and slid into our mail. The letter explained that pacifiers were needed for baby animals at a far-away zoo. I packed all of the pacifiers in a box and told my son I'd mail them off for the baby animals. After that it just took a reminder that we'd given the pacifiers to the baby animals. Soon he quit asking for his."
—Stacey Sphieler, mom of one, Jackson, Mississippi
Try the-dog-ate-my-pacifier trick. "When I thought my daughter was old enough to give up pacifiers, I took them away and told her the dog ate them. After that, if she asked for a pacifier, I'd just say, 'Oh, sorry; the dog chewed them all up.' She thought it was funny and just let it go after a few days. The key is to be consistent: Once you take away the pacifiers, keep them away."
–Tiffany Morris, mom of two, Fayetteville, Arkansas
Put them out of commission. "We tried everything with my daughter—big girl ceremonies, bribes, sending them off to other babies—and nothing worked. One day, when she wasn't looking, I cut a tiny slit in each of her pacifiers. After that, they stopped making the desirable sucking noise. She declared them 'broken' and threw them away herself."
—Catherine Calhoun, mom of two, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Blame the great outdoors. "When we decided it was time for my daughter to stop using a pacifier, we stopped buying new ones so her collection dwindled. Then, when she left the very last one in the backyard, we told her squirrels had carried it away. I didn't feel bad about the little fib—she was way too old for pacifiers at that point."
–Renee Cole, mom of four, Lombard, Illinois
Do it on vacation. "When my oldest daughter was about 2, we went on a family vacation and I 'forgot' to take the pacifiers with me. She was upset, but there were plenty of grandparents and cousins to distract her. It didn't take her long to adjust to sleeping without one, and she never went back."
–Kelly Clower, mom of two, Ft. Worth, Texas

Henrico Humane Society Receives Gift from Beath Foundation
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 11/19/10
The Henrico Humane Society (HHS) announced today that it had received a grant from the Jessica Beath Foundation. The foundation also agreed to a matching gift program for donations made to Henrico Humane Society through February 2011. The Beath Foundation's mission is to provide for general charitable purposes, most notably the care and rescue of animals.
"This generous grant from The Beath Foundation will allow us to help animals in desperate need of expensive medical care which we may not have otherwise been able to afford," said Courtney Morano, Henrico Humane Society president. "We are grateful for their support of our organization, which operates solely on donations, volunteers and fundraising."
As a result of the grant, HHS recently was able to save Beatrice, a puppy rescued from an animal shelter and diagnosed with persistent aortic arch condition, which requires open heart surgery. Dr. Lori Pasternak, with Helping Hands Veterinary Surgical and Dental Care, performed the surgery which saved Beatrice's life. The society intends to provide medical care for many other animals as a result of the new grant.
Jessica Beath started The Beath Foundation in 1991 to honor the memory of her husband Dr. Thomas Beath, her parents Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas and her sisters Annie Thomson and Beatrice Stockdale. She died this year at the age of 106.

ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia volleyball team started its 2006 season with a 3-1 win over the University of Alabama-Birmingham, but the Bulldogs struggled with growing pains for most of the program's 29th campaign.
Featuring five freshmen and four sophomores, the Bulldogs should have a bright future awaiting them after wrapping up their '06 campaign with a 6-25 overall record and 2-18 Southeastern Conference record.
Freshman Josefine Ehmke, who was voted as the SEC Freshman of the Week during Week 7, joined four other freshmen and four sophomores, including Brooke Peugh who was the team's leading blocker (106 total blocks), on the Bulldogs roster. In addition, Georgia featured only one senior � Simona Speed � in its lineup.
Although young, several Bulldogs ended up the season near the top of the list in SEC matches. Sophomore Maria Taylor, who now has 822 career kills, finished the year at the No. 2 spot in the conference in kills with an average of 4.82 per game. Junior Brooke Burlingame, who tied for the second-most digs in a match (36) in the SEC, finished sixth in the league with an average of 4.39 digs per game. In addition, junior setter Chelsea Young was No. 10 in assists (8.26 per game).
The Bulldogs experienced several highlights during 2006 season. After opening the year with a victory over the Blazers at the Georgia Invitational, the Bulldogs finished second at the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Coastal Carolina. Leading the way for Georgia was sophomore Maria Taylor, who racked up 10 double-doubles in '06, Peugh and freshman Nikki Hawkins, who were all named to the Georgia Invitational All-Tournament team.
Speed, who was a co-captain alongside Burlingame, picked up where her teammates left off during Georgia's second tourney of the year. Speed exploded for a career-high 15 kills and 11 digs and a hitting percentage of .406 against in-state rival Georgia Tech at the Georgia Tech Invitational on Sept. 1 and was named to the All-Tournament team.
Speed's finale with the Bulldogs came against Winthrop on Nov. 24 and the Aurora, Colo., native registered her third double-double of the season with 14 kills, 10 digs and four total blocks. After starting her career in 2003, Speed completed her career at Georgia with 483 kills, 443 digs and 111 total blocks.
| 2006 Volleyball Team
Georgia won a pair of SEC matches in a conference that had a record-breaking seven teams advance to the 2006 NCAA Tournament. One of those wins came on the road against Auburn on Oct. 20. Led by Taylor's 25 kills and 16 digs, the Bulldogs knocked off the Tigers 3-1 (30-28, 24-30, 30-22, 30-17). Also during that match, Young finished one assist shy of her career high with 47and Ehmke supplied the Bulldogs with six total blocks.
After the final match of the season had been played on Nov. 24, Taylor topped Georgia with 484 kills and Burlingame, who has now notched 1,145 digs in her career and is only 90 short of breaking into the school's top-five list, had 448 digs for the Bulldogs. Also, Peugh led her teammates with 106 kills and Hawkins, who only played in 64 games during her first season, had the most assists (565) with Young in second (508).
Adding to the list of Georgia's 2006 accolades was Burlingame's second straight selection to the ESPN The Magazine's Third-Team Academic All-District III. Burlingame, who was on the 2004 SEC Freshman Academic honor roll, has a 3.84 GPA in accounting at UGA.
Georgia head coach Steffi Legall also wrapped up her career as a Bulldog at the end of the 2006 season. Legall, who joined Georgia's staff in 2002 as an assistant coach and then as an associate head coach under Mary Buzcek, finished the season with a 6-24* overall record and a 2-18 record in the SEC. In 2005, Legall completed her first season as head coach with a record of 10-18, 5-11 SEC.
* - Legall did not coach Georgia's final match of the 2006 season

NFL Inserts New Overtime Rule Into Regular Season
NFL owners agreed today to insert a new overtime rule to the regular season. The new overtime rule is the same rule applied to the NFL's last two postseasons. Each team must possess or have the opportunity to possess the ball unless the team that has the ball first scores a touchdown on its initial possession. Play continues in sudden death until a winner is determined, and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown). The downside of the new system...

NHL makes new offer; lockout enters critical stageBy IRA PODELL
The Associated Press | December 29,2012NEW YORK The NHL made a new offer to the players association, hoping to spark talks toward ending the long lockout and saving the hockey season.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Friday the league presented its proposal Thursday and was waiting for a response. The sides havent met in person since a second round of talks with a federal mediator broke down Dec. 13.
The lockout has reached its 104th day, and the NHL said it doesnt want a season of less than 48 games. That means a deal would need to be reached mid-January.
We delivered to the union a new, comprehensive proposal for a successor CBA, Daly said in a statement Friday. We are not prepared to discuss the details of our proposal at this time. We are hopeful that once the unions staff and negotiating committee have had an opportunity to thoroughly review and consider our new proposal, they will share it with the players. We want to be back on the ice as soon as possible.
A person familiar with key points of the offer told The Associated Press that the league proposed raising the limit of individual free-agent contracts to six years from five seven years if a team re-signs its own player; raising the salary variance from one year to another to 10 percent, up from 5 percent; and one compliance buyout for the 2013-14 season that wouldnt count toward a teams salary cap but would be included in the overall players share of income.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the new offer were not being discussed publicly.
The NHL maintained the deferred payment amount of $300 million it offered in its previous proposal, an increase from an earlier offer of $211 million. The initial $300 million offer was pulled off the table after negotiations broke off earlier this month.
The latest proposal is for 10 years, running through the 2021-22 season, with both sides having the right to opt out after eight years.
A conference call with the players associations negotiating committee and its executive board was scheduled for Friday afternoon and was expected to last several hours.
The lockout has reached a critical stage, threatening to shut down a season for the second time in eight years. All games through Jan. 14, plus the Winter Classic and the All-Star game already have been called off. The next round of cuts could claim the entire schedule.
The NHL is the only North American professional sports league to cancel a season because of a labor dispute, losing the 2004-05 campaign to a lockout. A 48-game season was played in 1995 after a lockout stretched into January.
It is still possible this dispute could eventually be settled in the courts if the sides cant reach a deal on their own.
The NHL filed a class-action suit this month in U.S. District Court in New York in an effort to show its lockout is legal. In a separate move, the league filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, contending bad-faith bargaining by the union.
Those moves were made because the players association took steps toward potentially filing a disclaimer of interest, which would dissolve the union and make it a trade association. That would allow players to file antitrust lawsuits against the NHL.
Union members voted overwhelmingly to give their board the power to file the disclaimer by Jan. 2. If that deadline passes, another authorization vote could be held to approve a later filing.
Negotiations between the NHL and the union have been at a standstill since talks ended Dec. 6. One week later, the sides convened again with federal mediators in New Jersey, but still couldnt make progress.
The sides have been unable to reach agreement on the length of the new deal, the length of individual player contracts, and the variance in salary from year to year. The NHL is looking for an even split of revenues with players.
The NHL pulled all previous offers off the table after the union didnt agree to terms on its last proposal without negotiation.MORE IN Wire SportsFLORHAM PARK, N.J. Full StoryTURNBERRY, Scotland Theres a Ko atop the leaderboard after three rounds of the Womens British... Full Story

Camera lens accessories that wow
When it comes to the best cameras available, DSLR's are a class above everything else. DLSR cameras might be big and bulky but they are the best when it comes to take stills. The biggest advantage of DSLR cameras is the fact that you can change the lens depending on the situation or the type of photography you are into.
When it comes to DSLR cameras there are about 4 different types of lens available. These 4 lenses have their own strengths. The 3 basic types of lenses are standard lenses, wide angle lenses, and telephoto lenses. You also get specialized lenses which are custom built for certain specialized needs. These lenses are usually classified based on their focal lengths.
- Wide angle lenses usually have a focal length between 21 to 35 mm. Wide angle lenses are usually great to take pictures of landscapes and large architecture. They are also great for photographing a large number of people at the same time. The Nikon 2198 is a good example of a wide angle lens. Wide angle or super wide angle lens are great for taking close up pictures. They usually capture great detail which is useful for close examination. To get better detail than these lenses you would probably have to get yourself the Nikon e800 microscope.
- Standard lenses usually have a focal of 35mm to 70mm. Most commonly used standard lenses have a focal length of about 50 mm fixed lens. These lenses are perfect for street photography and are often used by reporters. These lenses are used by quite a few aspiring photographers as well. The Sony SAL1650 – 16-50mm lens is a very good example of a standard lens.
- Telephoto lenses are very large and expensive lenses. Their primary objective is to bring objects a lot closer. They usually have high focal lengths between 135 to 300mm. You will also find super telephoto lenses which have focal lengths of over 300 mm. They are perfect for sports and wildlife photography the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM a good example of a super telephoto lens. This lens comes with a solar filter just like the cele142 comes for telescopes.

A consistently reliable red for your casual gatherings. Expect smooth tannins with notes of cherry and raspberry. A good level of acidity will pair perfectly with a wide range of food styles, but it also sips well on its own. Tasted July 2012.

Another 1-800-GOT-JUNK? happy customer.
1-800-GOT-JUNK? Columbus can help you remove junk from your home or office. You can sit back and relax while we take care of everything. Our local junk removal team will arrive at your location at a time that's convenient for you. We provide you with an up-front, all-inclusive quote, same-day removal, and disposal of unwanted items. Our Columbus 1-800-GOT-JUNK? office is located at 792 Busch Court in Columbus, which is near 161 and 71 and the Continent.
The Columbus 1-800-GOT-JUNK? team can remove almost anything two people can carry and can help you with a variety of projects — from moving or emptying out storage spaces to disposing of renovation debris or e-waste. We remove items from wherever they are located, and all you need to do is point to the junk you would like removed. Contact 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Columbus and we'll do the work for you. Plus, whenever possible, we recycle what we take away. Watch what we do.
Hi, I'm Joe Gillotti, the owner of the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Columbus franchise. We opened in January 2004 and are in our 6th year in Columbus, Ohio. We focus on being "green" junk removers and trying to keep as much junk out of the waste stream as possible. We have developed local relationships with E-Waste recyclers, charities including Habitat for Humanity, Materials Assistance Providers (MAP), paper recyclers, metal recyclers, and others. We chose our office space so it would be easier for us to offload all items that do not need to go to the landfill. We are working every month to improve this process, while providing excellent service to our customers.
Prior to joining the junk removal business, I was in the professional world for 17 years, six of those as a CPA and 11 years as an attorney. I was born and raised in Ohio and I am a graduate of the Ohio State University and Capital University Law School, living in Columbus since 1986. Go Buckeyes!

Piles of junk sit waiting to be picked up at one Columbus location.
"Anything that two guys can lift and load after light demolition. That's what we do," said 1-800-Got-Junk owner Joe Gillotti.
It takes some heavy lifting to get everything into the truck bed. Items include signs of holidays gone by, old electronics, favorite toys of yesterday, and even appliances.
"The goal is to be as green as possible and keep things out of the landfill," explained Gillotti. The junk is hauled here to a warehouse where it's unloaded and sorted. The furniture, the metal scrap, even the old golf clubs have piles.
"We off load it at our facility and then we collect enough to take to a recycler or someone that can reuse the items," added Gillotti. 1-800-Got-Junk has increased the amount of junk they recycle or reuse since the business came to central Ohio. The extra step to go green does cost money, but recycling also earns these stewards of the environment extra cash.
"With metal we do try to collect metal to get some dollars to offset my extra labor and fuel and facility costs," said Gillotti.

Is Starbucks Starbucks missing out on millions of dollars in revenue because its coffee prices are too low? That seems unlikely when the $5 cup of Starbucks is a staple of comedians mocking over-priced products. But, in reality, a small brewed coffee runs about $2 in the U.S. Now, a neuromarketing study in Germany suggests that the coffee giant may actually be under-pricing their product by a third and perhaps leaving profits on the table.
The provocative notion that we're not paying enough for a cup of java comes from scientist Kai-Markus Müller of Stuttgart-based The Neuromarketing Labs. Using EEG brain wave measurement, Müller's firm gauged the emotional reaction of consumers to different prices for a small cup of coffee, which costs €1.80 ($2.45) at a Stuttgart Starbucks.
The firm claims their results show that our brains reject prices that are too low or too high as being unrealistic, and says that the optimal price point for that small coffee in Stuttgart would be €2.40 ($3.25).
According to Der Spiegel, this claim is buttressed by another experiment in which a set-your-own price vending machine on a college campus showed that students paid, on average, €.95 ($1.29) for a latte macchiato. When subjects were shown prices while their brain waves were being measured, an optimal price very close to that number was observed.
Starbucks shareholders might salivate at the idea that at least some of the firm's products could be priced substantially higher, but some caution is in order. For commodity items like coffee, lower prices tend to increase sales while higher prices discourage them. It would be quite unexpected for a higher price to increase unit sales for this type of product.
Furthermore, price comparison for brewed coffee is easy. Regular coffee drinkers know what a cup costs at different outlets. At least in my local Austin market, Starbucks is already at the upper end of a fairly narrow band of coffee prices. If they suddenly broke from the pack by raising their prices 33%, it's hard to imagine that traffic wouldn't shift to the competition.
Previous studies on pricing using fMRI brain scans by Loewenstein of Carnegie Mellon University and others did show a "pain of paying" effect from high prices, but didn't report a negative reaction for low prices.
I think this kind of "most liked price" analysis would work best for unique or new-to-the-world products. When Apple Apple introduced the iPad, for example, there was no reference point or competitive group to refer to. Studying consumer reaction to hypothetical price points might have been helpful. Of course, new and unfamiliar products present another problem – consumers have difficulty assigning a price (even subconsciously) if they don't know what value the product can deliver.
What do you think would happen to small (aka "tall" in Starbucks-speak) coffee sales if prices jumped by a third? Share your thoughts in a comment!

Our Obsession With the Confederate Flag
My editor at the Atlantic asked me to revise a recent post on the DNC and the Confederate flag. You can read it below or at the Atlantic. I have no doubt that it will raise the usual cries of South/Confederate heritage bashing from the usual suspects. What I find funny is that the posts I've written for the Atlantic that could be construed as Union bashing or whatever the equivalent is this side of the Mason-Dixon Line rarely receive any kind of condemnation. Funny how that works. Click here for the rest of the my Atlantic columns.
Next month's Democratic National Convention and the nomination of the nation's first black president for a second term in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, will provide an ideal backdrop for those looking to assess the region's progress on the racial front. At front and center for many sits the Confederate flag.
Reports are likely to resemble this recent article from The Charlotte Observer, written by Elizabeth Leland, who believes that "remnants of the Old South linger in our region — and none as divisive as the Confederate flag." Such articles follow a well-worn pattern that includes interviews with one or two white southern men who fly the flag on their property or pickup truck and believe it represents "heritage, not hate." (As an auto mechanic quoted in Leland's story puts it, "I've lived here since I was a little rascal and my daddy always had an American flag and a Confederate flag, and I do, too.")
