What To Buy…Where To Buy?
Image from: High Jump / Shutterstock
I was just looking at some data from our Compete Shopper Intelligence Survey that asked people what they intended to purchase online in the next six months. People are planning on buying a lot of music, movies, and books. Take a look:
After looking at the results, I started thinking about the headlines in the Wall Street Journal during the last couple weeks – news of Borders filing for Chapter 11, and Blockbuster shopping itself around for a potential $300M.
At first read, you might think "Wow, I guess people don't have the attention span to read a book anymore." But, a little more thought about our data brought me back to my senses. I took out a piece of paper and scribbled where I remember us buying products from these categories before and how we are buying them today. The list is not exhaustive, but in visual, it's pretty remarkable:
This is just another in a string of images that reminds us how much the Internet has changed the retail landscape. 10 years ago Hollywood Video executives would have been elated to see the Compete results; but today consumers are making the top dogs at Netflix and hulu pretty happy.
What do you think this chart will look like 10 years from now?

Find great books for preschool, elementary, and middle school children and teens along with ideas of ways to teach with them in the classroom across the curriculum.
by Jerry Spinelli. Novel. 180 pages. Grades 3-9.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
For those of you who haven't already had the pleasure, let us introduce you to this wonderful book. It's about prejudice and love and home and baseball and fear and understanding. It's about Jeffrey Lionel Magee, sometimes known as Maniac Magee, and about the people of the fictional town of Two Mills.
Jeffrey's parents were killed in a trolley accident when he was three and he spent the next eight years in the bizarre household of his Aunt Dot and Uncle Dan, who hated each other but refused to divorce and so lived in the same house without speaking to each other, using Jeffrey as their go-between. In a scene that will remind some of you of John Irving's adult novel, Prayer for Owen Meany, Jeffrey screams at them from the middle of a school concert, "Talk to each other!" and then runs away.
That's the beginning of his running and his search for a real home. He ends up in the town of Two Mills, two hundred miles away from his aunt and uncle. Two Mills is a town divided by race into East and West End. There Jeffrey becomes "Maniac Magee", the subject of legends that have lasted ever since. In his search for a place to belong, he eventually succeeds to some degree in uniting the town by forcing at least some of the Blacks and Whites to know each other.
There's enough to work with in this novel to take up a whole school year, but first of all, the novel is fun. There is much to laugh out loud about before you cry and then you think about what Spinelli is telling us in this book which is understandable, at least on one level, by children as young as third graders. It won the Newbery Medal the year it came out.
You won't need most of these suggestions for things to talk about. The book is so rich and so well written that after reading it you'll need to talk about it and so will the kids.
First of all, there's Magee himself. He has a strong sense of justice, a thirst for knowledge and an amazing lack of fear. The only time he shows any fear is near the end of the book when he cannot walk out on the trolley trestle where his parents were killed, not even to help a frightened little boy. He is patient, determined and loves to laugh. He wants to be loved and understood, but for most of the book, it is he who must understand others. If you agree with that description, can you find action in the book to defend it?
There's Amanda Beale, the black child who is the first person to stop and talk to Magee when he first arrives in Two Mills. She carries her books with her at all times and is as avid a learner as Magee. She has a fierce temper and is stubborn as well. It is with Amanda and her family that Magee finds his home.
John McNab is a giant of a white child -- five feet eight when he was only twelve. He's a bully and the first to take on Magee in a baseball game when he first hits town. He's a member of the Cobras, a survivalist gang who hate and fear Blacks.
Other than Maniac himself, the most memorable character in the book is probably Earl Grayson, the old man at the zoo, who befriends Maniac. Earl Grayson was a minor league baseball pitcher who blew his one chance at the majors, but not before he struck out Willie Mays. Magee teaches Grayson how to read and makes his home with him at the bandstand at the zoo. Their relationship is warm and loving, but Grayson dies and Magee is without home and love again.
Grades 1 - 5
Fly Away Home by Eve Bunting. Illustrated by Ronald Himler. Picture Book. 32 pages.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
This is a sensitive book about a boy and his dad who live at the airport. Homelessness is not a common subject for any children's book and a picture book on this small family is a daring deed for Bunting and Himler to attempt. They had to walk a fine line to tell us this story. A misstep in any direction would have brought condescension, oversimplification, false cheerfulness or hopelessness and Fly Away Home is free of all those things. Read More in our Featured Book Teachers Guide with discussion questions, extension activities, related books and links.
Grades 5 - 9
Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson. Memoir. 336 pages.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
Brown Girl Dreaming just won the National Book Award and it's quite a gem. It's a book length memoir in verse of the author growing up in the sixties and seventies as well as some of her family history. Living in both South Carolina and then Brooklyn, New York we get to see the life of an African American family in the North and the South. Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement there is a lot of history here. Read More.
Grades 4 - 8
Finding Buck McHenry by Alfred Slote. Novel. 256 pages.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
Jason loves baseball, although his playing skills are less than outstanding. Cut from his Little League team, he is crushed and unburdens himself on the school janitor, Mack Henry. It turns out that Mr. Henry knows a lot about baseball, especially about the Negro League which Jason knows nothing about. Jason's collection of baseball cards gives no indication of such a league. A trip to the card store, however, turns up a card for Negro League star Buck McHenry, who may or may not be Mack Henry.
Grades 5 - 8
The Moves Make the Man by Bruce Brooks. Novel. 256 pages.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
Jerome Foxworthy, 13, ace student, first black in an all-white school and a basketball fanatic, narrates this story of his friendship with Bix. Bix's game is baseball, but Jerome recognizes in his skill the same passion and technical accuracy that he himself has in his sport. This is an exquisite portrait of Jerome, a bright, confident loner and Bix, distant and frightened, and the fragile friendship that develops between them. Read More.
Grades PreK - 8
Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni. Picture Book. 48 pages.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
On a surface level, the book about friendship is easily understood by preschoolers. On a slightly deeper level, the story is about color and how primary colors can be combined to make secondary ones. Digging deeper, it may be viewed as an allegory for racism and, as such, is one to intrigue older readers and viewers. Read More.
Grades 5 - 9
The Goats by Brock Cole. Novel. 192 pages.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
In this modern survival story Laura and Howie are the victims of a camp prank where a boy and a girl are stripped and left on an island in the lake. They are the Goats, chosen because of their inability to fit in. Laura and Howie decide to disappear both for revenge and because they don't want to return to the cruelty of the kids at the camp.
Grades 6 - 12
Miles to Go for Freedom: Segregation and Civil Rights in the Jim Crow Years by Linda Barrett Osborne. Nonfiction. 128 pages.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
Here's a topnotch exploration of race relations from 1890 through the 1950's in the US. Osborne gives us a comprehensive look at this horrific side of our past with an understated clarity that makes the facts all the more moving. Covering the North as well as the South this book is full of primary source quotes, photos, and illustrations from the period. The book ends with the momentous Brown vs The Board of Education decision and the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. The back of the book includes a time line, notes, and a bibliography. We highly recommend it.

He forgot rolled up newspapers.
How soon until we get to what Hudson buried in Poncho's yard?
As well as explosions, vacuum cleaners, and
way to rocck the maple; leaf hope the PC'sdon"t see it
Gilligan has no idea where he's going with that story line, so we're taking a 2 month detour while he tries to figure it out.
I'm pretty sure Paul knows exactly where he's going with this storyline, but he's enjoying all the gag opportunities along the way, and so am I! One of my dogs barks at leaves on windy days, raising the alarm that a scary leaf is attacking our den. :-)
I'm loving this story line, too. One of our dogs (they're both border collies like Koko and both rescue dog), is a great dog. I don't know what his life experiences were but that dog can turn himself inside out evacuating the area when his food bowl has frightened him. He's slowly getting better, but as I say, I'm loving this story line.
LOL – or Leaf fans, for that matter – m'eh, they're grumpy anyway :)
One of those four representations is more accurate than imaginary.

I pride myself in being born in the USA and a patriot also.
Why not? Hey. I take issue with all the political attention to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and all the other places that should be left all well alone.
I say there are other places our president should take need of along with all the other so-called representatives who are supposed to be taking care of things in the nation's business — and it's not all on Wall Street, hey?
Shouldn't they be focusing on other things, such as the United States? Get your noses out of China, Taiwan, Iran, Iraq, India, Russia, the Ukraine, etc. and go to work here to fix what needs fixin', hey? Hey? Hey, there's plenty to do here.
I will once again say we don't need any more flag-draped coffins coming home from you-know-where!

Following on from the post I wrote about things my grandmother said, here are some things my Paapi said. Generally he spoke some old Lotfitka (from the family days spent in Latvia) and Servika, and some Anglo-Romani with the men. Most of the differences though seem to be more accent related (the long ā and ō sounds as well as aj and oj word endings)…

Whenever he had a problem fulfilling something he said he would do, he would say this "But, I am a man and I want to be as good as my word". The older he got, it seemed the more frequent his use of this statement.
Eh, me jel, sir javindoj!
Often he would say this in response to Maami when she was fussing. He would mumble "ah, let it be as it will!" Sometimes, he would also say it if one of us were worrying about something.
Me hāra džinav, ke tu isan lačho mānuš
I heard this all the time when Paapi was dealing with the other men. As Baro Rom, he would have to resolve disputes all the time and he would start by saying (literally) "I know since long, you are a good man".
Tute nani lovōre, sosa te kines e gres!
If any of the kids started asking for things, pretty much anything at all, Paapi would stick a hand on his hip and say "you've not got money to buy a horse!" I always thought it was funny, especially when he said it to one of the older kids.
I love doing these posts. Next, I'll do one from my aunt or perhaps another from my Maami or my Dad.

MINEOLA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – A Long Island man is accused of using fake coupons to scam Home Depot out of thousands of dollars.
According to Nassau County Police, Dianfenf Jiang, 41, of Melville was arrested Thursday morning for allegedly using bogus buy one, get one free coupons for Milwaukee and Bosch power tools.
As WCBS 880's Sophia Hall reported, police said Jiang would buy the power tools at one Nassau Home Depot store then go to another in the county to return both items for a cash refund. Police said he was pocketing the cash from the second power tool he received for free with the fraudulent coupons.
Jiang allegedly carried out the coupon scam since January of 2011, police said.
"We estimated that he stole over $7,000 by doing this scam," Sgt. Richard Harasym said. "Home Depot became suspicious when they saw his name appearing on a lot of returns."
Jiang is charged with grand larceny and possession of a forged instrument. He is due to be arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Friday, police said.

Statement of Critical Regional or State Water Problems
The need to provide economical, safe, and convenient biological treatment systems for drinking water supplies continues to be an important concern. The use of treatment chemicals such as chlorine, etc., is effective but can be expensive and is often inconvenient. This proposal addresses the evaluation of a new and novel way of treating water supplies using biocidal polymers. These polymers have demonstrated long term effectiveness in the treatment of bacteria, microorganisms and certain viruses in water supplies.

Showing the Flag for Android
5. It can be more iPad-like One of the key issues with Android tablets right now is that Google has no control over the devices on store shelves. After providing the software, companies like Motorola and Samsung design the hardware. By developing its own Nexus tablet with LG, Google can control all aspects of the buying proposition. It would be following Apple's lead. As that company's success has proved, control in the tablet market works quite well.Google can do a lot to help its vendor partners by offering a tablet. But the company can also help its own cause through Android 3.0 "Honeycomb," the likely choice for a Nexus tablet. If Google can create the right value proposition for customers and improve the software in the coming months, it will be able to show the value customers could derive from Android 3.0 "Honeycomb." That would not undoubtedly help improve its position in the tablet space. 7. It would have the best chance of stealing market share As the Motorola Xoom-arguably a more-capable tablet on paper than the iPad 2-has shown, trying to take Apple down in that market is practically impossible. The iPad 2 seems to be unbeatable for now. But Google's tablet would probably have the best chance of stealing Apple's market share in the tablet market. The device would get the most attention and, if Google played its cards properly, it would deliver better features. In the process, it would likely attract more customers. If it's market share Google's after, developing its own tablet is integral to controlling more of that space. 8. It puts pressure on Apple Following that, it's important to note that Apple is not worried at all about the competition. It knows all too well that its competitors can't beat its iPad 2 and the chances of it losing a dominant share in the tablet space are slim. But by offering its own tablet, Google could put pressure on Apple. Its device would be the first of its kind in the Android space to gain mainstream consumer attention. Plus, it could sell well enough to steal market share from Apple. Cupertino is facing no pressure and can do whatever it wants in today's tablet space. A Google tablet will change that in a big way. 9. It's willing to take risks There are some companies in the marketplace that are risk-averse. They view branching out of their core business model as too dangerous to even try it. But Google is different. The company has a proven track record of taking risks and seeing those risks pay off. Developing a tablet is undoubtedly a risk. Other Android vendors could see Google more as a competitor than a partner. But as the previous items have shown, the payoff could be huge for Google. If it has been willing to take a risk in the past, it shouldn't change its ways now. 10. It has all the information it needs In order for a Google tablet to be successful, it must have the quality of components that would make customers think twice about the iPad 2. Luckily for Google, Apple has already launched the iPad 2, which means it knows that device inside and out. Then it can find ways to trump Apple's tablet when it comes to the display, the internal components and other key features that customers care about. If this were late last year, Google probably shouldn't launch a tablet, since it would be overshadowed by the iPad 2. By releasing such a device over the summer, as reports suggest, Google can deliver all the features that would make its tablet better than Apple's. Simply put, the timing is perfect for a Google Nexus tablet.
6. It shines light on Android too
