Designing Britain 1945 - 1975
Exhibiting Britain
Britain Can Make It
> BCMI Introduction
The Britain Can Make It (BCMI) exhibition was held between September and November 1946 at the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum, London. It was organised and held under the auspices of the Council of Industrial Design (COID) which had been established by central government in 1944 to promote by all practicable means the improvement of design in the products of British industry (COID, 1946, 5).
In an announcement released to Trade Associations in September 1945, the aims of the exhibition were declared:
The Council of Industrial Design will hold in the summer of next year a national exhibition of design in all the main range of consumer goods clothing, household furnishings and equipment, office equipment and civil transport It will represent the best and only the best that modern British industry can produce [it will be] British industrys first great post-war gesture to the British people and the world
ID/361: Summer Exhibition 1946: Policy Committee Minutes
BCMI would display the consumer goods which, the government intended, would form the basis on which the economy of post-war Britain would be renewed. Six years of war had left the country in severe debt. The governments main concern was to ensure that income could be generated through trade, particularly with countries overseas. Hence all effort in production was aimed at the export market while the British market remained subject to a rationing even more severe than in wartime. This situation was made clear at BCMI where all the goods on display were for purchase only by the export market and would not be available, at least in the short term, to home consumers (hence the popular nickname for the exhibition, Britain Cant Have It).
The fact that the exhibition was organised by the COID and was described as a national exhibition of design reveals how intrinsic design was to economic renewal. Stafford Cripps, President of the Board of Trade, the government department of which the COID formed part, emphasised this in a speech made in November 1945:
Design is a factor of crucial importance to British industry today
He continued:
we must have something more than British solidity to sell our goods in competition with others
Cripps, 1945
The future of British design rests, in the long run, with you.
COID, BCMI Guide, 1946
But in 1946, the notion that design, and designers, could enhance a product and were a good thing was a relatively new one to the British. So, in addition to the task of presenting well-designed goods to the overseas market, BCMI was also used to present the idea of the need for design to the British public. Thus alongside the displays of consumer goods, the COID also included stands devoted to the role of the designer and the history of design in Britain. In addition, this belief in the absolute necessity of design meant that the COID did not just ensure that all the goods on display were well-designed but that the very environment in which they stood reinforced the design values it endorsed.
From October 1945 onwards, the Exhibition Committee which was set up by the COID to oversee BCMI, worked to these twin briefs: selling Britain and selling design.

Exhibition Design
At the end of the war the Victoria and Albert museum was standing empty. Its exhibits had been stored in the safety of the countryside during hostilities and had not yet been returned. The museum was, after much debate, agreed as an appropriate site since the founding purpose of its collection was the improvement of design. In all, 90, 000 square feet of museum space would be allocated to BCMI, about half the museum's total area.
In October 1945 the Exhibition Policy Committee for BCMI met to appoint the designers who would have overall responsibility for the design of the exhibition. As Chief Display Designer, it appointed James Gardner who S.C.Leslie, the Council's chair described in retrospect as:
... a comparatively young man, just released from the Army where he had done brilliant work in camouflage; his pre-war achievements in display, publicity and exhibition design were also outstanding, and those who had used his services were enthusiastic about their quality
Maguire & Woodham, 1997, 51.
Gardners appointment may also have been helped by the fact that a former employer, Jack Beddington, was a member of the Exhibition Committee. He, Gardner wrote later:
was still under the misconception that I was a genius no need to disabuse him.
Gardner, 1983
Though Beddingtons patronage may have helped Gardners case, there was not that much competition, few others had the sense of design consciousness which would have enabled them to take on the task of designing the setting for BCMI. Gardner recalled:
[there were] only people like Misha Black and Ashley Havinden
Gardner, 1983
both of whom he recruited to design individual sections of the exhibition.
Gardner would work alongside an Exhibition Architect appointed to assist him. Following consultation with the Royal Institute of British Architects, Basil Spence was given the post. Both men were paid a fee of £1050 plus a sum for working expenses and a subsistence allowance of 23 shillings and 6 pence a day.
It was Gardners task to create the plan of the exhibition within the 90, 000 square feet space available. He was also charged with overseeing the work of the other designers who were recruited to design the individual stands. The extent of his responsibility was significant; the design challenge even more. During most of the planning stage Gardner had to design without any knowledge of the type or number of goods to be displayed. Stafford Cripps stipulated that since this was the case, the challenge was:
to design a show that would look complete in every detail if we didnt get exhibits
In response, Gardner developed a new type of layout plan:
instead of presenting goods to the eye, as in an open market and that is how exhibitions had evolved I tucked them round corners, behind screens & in little enclaves, so at first the visitor would see lots of "décor" but no goods wouldnt even notice if there were no goods at all. This introduced a surprise element.
Gardner, 1983
This policy evidently worked. A contemporary observed
the abiding memory was not so much the
as the
at that time, nobody was used to conspicuous design to walk into a hall which was all peaceable and all pleasure was a very striking experience
Kenneth Grange in Sparke, 1986
Once Gardner had resolved the planning of the space his attention then turned to a second area of responsibility:
selecting and coordinating the team of designers; [and] showing a semblance of authority over the building contractors who knew more about building exhibitions than I did (a good thing as it turned out) Gardner, 1983
Gardner chose a team of designers who exhibited an appropriate level of design consciousness and were the fledgling leaders of an emerging discipline. Individuals or teams were appointed to each section of the exhibition and charged with the challenge of inserting their display into the space available to maximum effect.
In all there were 5000 goods on display in 32 main sections (many more sub-sections) designed by nearly 80 designers. Visitors followed a complex route through the V&As main halls. This was out of necessity for, as Gardner commented, BCMI had a very convoluted plan it was a very convoluted building.
The entrance to BCMI was at the Exhibition Road side of the V&A. From the foyer, visitors entered the opening rooms of BCMI where they were presented with the main theme of the exhibition, the transition from war to peace and how developments in technology and production in wartime were now being applied to the task of reconstruction. From this section War to Peace they then entered the exhibition proper. Here they followed a path which led from displays on the raw materials, old and new, which were available to British manufacturers in a section called What the Goods are Made of to displays which showed the goods fashioned from these materials. Here the visitor could see such stands as Heat,Light, Power, Books & Printing and Womens Dress. Visitors were also presented with a series of room settings which displayed these goods as they might be incorporated into the dwelling. Finally, a series of displays were devoted to explaining the nature of design.
Visitors practical needs were not forgotten. A tea lounge and cloakroom were also provided, as well as information and press stands.
Here the module will focus on two sections which display different facets of designing exhibition displays and some of the different themes of BCMI.

Phillies starters struggling to get their footing
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies lost their third game of the season Friday in their home opener at Citizens Bank Park. And each of the games has one common theme: The Phillies starter has lasted fewer than six innings.
In the 13-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals, manager Charlie Manuel went to the bullpen to replace Kyle Kendrick with two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the sixth. Royals left fielder Alex Gordon promptly tripled in the go-ahead runs off Jeremy Horst, and Kansas City romped from there.
Kendrick was charged with five runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. On Opening Night in Atlanta, Cole Hamels gave up five runs in five innings. In Game 2, Roy Halladay allowed five runs in 3 1/3.
It's early, but clearly, Philadelphia starters have to do better than that in order to keep their team in the game and to save the bullpen.
"Our [bullpen] guys are not geared right now to go three or four days in a row. So that becomes a problem," Manuel said.
Kendrick sailed through the first four innings, shutting out Kansas City on two hits. After retiring Jeff Francoeur leading off the fifth, six of the next 10 batters got hits off him.
"I think basically what happened is, when he went through the lineup, they started seeing him," Manuel said. "And they do have a good team and they've got enough left-handed hitters in there that if they get three or four at-bats off him, they've probably got a good chance to get some hits off him. And that's kind of what happened."
With the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth, Kendrick had a chance to pitch out of trouble, but Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer came through with a two-run single to right that cut the Phillies' lead to 4-2.
"He put a pretty good swing on the ball," Kendrick said.
With two outs and a runner on first in the sixth, Kendrick once again seemed to be in control. But then Chris Getz doubled to put runners on second and third.
"Getz was a 1-2 changeup, and he put a good swing on it. The pitch was down. Maybe it wasn't down enough," Kendrick said.
At that point, Royals designated hitter Billy Butler came off the bench to pinch-hit for pitcher Bruce Chen, Manuel had Kendrick intentionally walk Butler and then brought in Horst.
His reasoning was that Butler is Kansas City's best hitter and that the left-handed Horst had the advantage against the left-handed-hitting Gordon. Except, it didn't turn out that way. Gordon tripled and then the Royals kept piling on in the later innings.
"They started hitting, and we couldn't stop them," Manuel said. "The game definitely got away from us."
Kendrick understood Manuel's decision, but he would have liked to challenge Butler or stay in to face Gordon.
"I guess he wanted lefty on lefty. So what am I going to do? I felt fine," Kendrick said. "I'd have liked to have faced Butler there, but what can you do? When [catcher Erik] Kratz came out, we just talked about what we were going to do with Butler. And then we walked him.
"I'm not going to knock Charlie's decision at all. I wanted to stay in the game. I'm a competitor, and I wanted to stay in. I was moving right along. I felt strong. But it's not my decision. I respect it, but any starter would want to stay in the game. We're all looking to go deep in games. That's our goal, our main goal, to give our team a chance to win. And if you can't do that, it's obviously frustrating.
"I felt better than my line was. I don't feel like I gave up five runs. With how I threw, I would have liked to have gotten the last out in the sixth. I thought my line was a lot better than it was. But it wasn't."
Kendrick noted that the season isn't even a week old yet.
"It's disappointing, obviously, to lose. Hopefully, we'll come out the next game and win," he said. "Obviously, you want to finish the inning. You want to be leading, you want to win the game. So yeah, it's frustrating.
"But I'm not worried at all. We just let one get away from us. But I wouldn't say worried. It's early. We obviously just have to play better."
A good start toward that goal would be a couple more good starts from the rotation.

Senate to Mark up Draft Education Bill—Help Secure Support for the Inclusion of Environmental Education
Senator Harkin, Chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) has announced that the committee will mark up a draft of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) on October 18. Congressional support for the NCLI Act is critical to ensuring that the HELP Committee includes environmental literacy in the draft legislation. Please help add additional co-sponsors to Senate Bill 1372 (the NCLI Act) by contacting your Senator today. Please let your Senator know that s/he can support this goal by cosponsoring the NCLI Act today. An ESEA that includes the provisions of the NCLI Act would support outdoor learning activities both at school and in non-formal environmental education centers, teacher professional development, and the implementation of state environmental literacy plans. By offering states increased flexibility to infuse environmental education into the preK-12 curriculum, the No Child Left Inside Act will give our nation's students the knowledge they need to advance American competitiveness in a clean energy economy, help boost academic achievement, and offer a pipeline to success in STEM subjects.

This weekend is my first DIY event at Ikea, and I'm beyond excited! It's themed around getting organized, so I've been scheming up out of the ordinary ways to re-purpose everyday items. Most things you'll have to see on Saturday, but I wanted to include those of you that aren't local (hi, mom!) in my DIY Chalkboard anything to-do list using Deco-Art's new chalkboard anything paint. No lie, I want to chalkboard everything in my house right now just because I can. And on that note, I'd like to take this time to apologize to my husband in advance..
- Wooden craft plank (sounds weird, but you can find them at Michael's for $2)
- Leather cord
- DecoArt craft paint c/o
- DecoArt clear chalkboard paint c/o
- Drill
- Black chalkboard pen
- Stamp (optional)
Essentially you can go as crazy as you'd like with this tutorial as long as you keep in mind a few keys steps: Any detailed stamping or lettering you have to do after you've painted the chalkboard coats according to the instructions on the bottle. The chalkboard paint will smear any details that are painted with craft paint if you use it after. Here's are steps I took to make mine:
First, I painted the whole board with chalkboard paint according to the instructions on the bottle. Once it had set for 24 hours, I stamped my logo on the top, and then taped off the bottom portion and painted it mint julep green from DecoArt. Then I drilled a hole in the top of the board and strung leather cord through and knotted it. I cured the surface by rubbing white chalk across it and wiping it off, and then I bought black chalkboard pens for everyday use so that it was easier to write and see than traditional white chalk. Pretty simple and definitely much cuter than a plain old chalkboard or dry erase to-d0 list!
P.s.- If you don't want to miss out on the rest of the projects, you can still RSVP for the event, here. See you Saturday!

18 Signs You're Having a Migraine
How to tell you're having a migraine
Nearly 30 million people in the United States have migraines, and three times as many women as men have them.
Migraines are pulsating headaches, often on one side of the head. Physical activity may intensify the pain, but symptoms can vary from person to person and from one attack to the next.
"In patients who have migraines, we're going to treat all of their headaches as potential migraines," says Anne Calhoun, MD, partner and cofounder of the Carolina Headache Institute, in Chapel Hill, N.C.
RELATED: A Neurologist Explains Everything You Need to Know About Migraines—and How to Avoid Them
Here are 18 ways to identify migraines.
Some people with a migraine experience aura.
The most common auras are visual, such as flickering lights, spots, or lines. "You may see a little jagged line...that will develop some cross hatches, and it might sort of move in a curved direction," Dr. Calhoun says.
Auras typically last between five minutes and an hour, with a 60-minute "skip phase" before the headache pain sets in, she says.
Some patients have auras without a migraine-type headache or any headache at all.
RELATED: This Explains Why You Want to Crawl Into a Dark Closet When You Have a Migraine
Depression, irritability, or excitement
Mood changes can be a sign of migraines.
"Some patients will feel very depressed or suddenly down for no reason," Dr. Calhoun says. "Others will feel very high." Dutch researchers recently reported a possible genetic link between depression and migraines, especially migraines with aura.
Data presented at the American Academy of Neurology 2010 annual meeting suggests that moderate or severe depression increases the risk of episodic migraines becoming chronic.

Lack of restful sleep
Waking up tired or having trouble falling asleep are common problems in people with migraines.
Studies have shown an association between lack of restorative sleep and the frequency and intensity of migraines.
When migraines strike, it's tough to get a good night's sleep. "A lot of people will have insomnia as a result of their migraine," says Edmund Messina, MD, medical director of the Michigan Headache Clinic, in East Lansing. This inability to sleep can be the start of a vicious cycle, as research suggests that lack of sleep can also trigger migraines.
RELATED: Identify the Pain in Your Head: The 14 Kinds of Headaches
Stuffy nose or watery eyes
Some people with migraines have sinus symptoms, such as stuffy nose, clear nasal drainage, droopy eyelids, or tearing, Dr. Messina says.
One large study found that, among people who complained of sinus headaches, nearly 90% were having migraines. (The study was funded by GlaxoSmithKline, which makes migraine medicine.)
RELATED: 11 Health Risks Linked to Migraines
Before a migraine attack occurs, some people crave certain foods.
"A common craving is chocolate," Dr. Messina says.
RELATED: 10 Foods That May Trigger a Migraine
Throbbing pain on one or both sides of the head
Pulsating pain is a classic sign of migraines. The throbbing is often felt on one side of the head.
In an online survey of patients with migraines, the National Headache Foundation found that 50% "always" have throbbing on one side, while 34% say they "frequently" have this symptom.
RELATED: What the Location of Your Headache Can Actually Tell You
Eye pain
Migraine pain often burrows behind the eye.
People will blame it on eye strain and many will get their eyes checked, but that won't make their headaches any better, Dr. Messina says.
RELATED: What You Eat Can Really Hurt (or Help!) Your Migraines
Neck pain
"A lot of people will say, 'My neck gets stiff and then I get a headache.' Well, it's probably the early stage of the migraine," Dr. Messina says. "Or after a migraine they'll get that neck symptom or they'll have throbbing pain at the back of their neck."
In an online survey, the National Headache Foundation found 38% of migraine patients "always" have neck pain and 31% "frequently" have neck pain during migraine headaches. (The Foundation receives support from GlaxoSmithKline, maker of migraine medicine.)
Frequent urination
If you have to go a lot, it can mean a migraine is coming.
It's one of the many symptoms people experience just before a migraine. These warning signs, also known as the prodome phase of a migraine, can arrive as little as an hour or as much as two days before the start of headache pain.
Yawning a lot is another tip-off that a migraine is about to strike.
Unlike regular "I'm tired" yawning, it may be excessive and occur every few minutes.
In one 2006 study in the journal Cephalalgia, about 36% of migraine patients reported yawning was one of the signs of an impending migraine.
RELATED: A Man Developed 'Thunderclap Headaches' After He Ate the World's Hottest Pepper. Here's What That Means
Numbness or tingling
Some people with migraines have sensory aura.
They may have a temporary lack of sensation or a pins-and-needles feeling, typically on one side of the body, moving from the fingertips through the arm and across the face.

Nausea or vomiting
According to data from the American Migraine Study II, a mail survey of more than 3,700 people with migraines, 73% experience nausea and 29% have vomiting. (The study was funded by a drug manufacturer.)
A recent analysis of the National Headache Foundation's American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention study found people with frequent migraine-related nausea have more severe pain and more trouble getting relief from medication than migraine sufferers with little or no nausea.
Light, noise, or smells trigger or worsen pain
In the throes of a migraine attack, the migraine sufferer tends to seek refuge in a dark, quiet place. Bright lights and loud noises can trigger a migraine or intensify the pain. The same is true of certain odors.
"Once you've already got a migraine, smells can seem more intense and make it worse," Dr. Calhoun says. "But a smell can also trigger a migraine in someone who didn't have one before [he or she] walked past the perfume counter."

Activity triggers or worsens pain
Routine activities such as walking or climbing stairs can make migraine pain worse.
Some migraines are induced by exercise (running, weight-lifting) or exertion (sexual activity). People with exertion-induced headaches require a thorough workup to rule out underlying causes, such as a brain aneurysm.

Trouble speaking
Can't get the words out? Speech difficulties can be another sign that a migraine is on its way.
"A lot of people with migraines will feel like they're blithering," Dr. Messina says. "It's a common description by patients." If you are experiencing speech problems for the first time, contact a doctor to make sure the problems are not related to a more serious issue, such as a stroke.

Weakness on one side of the body
When an arm goes limp, it can be a sign of a migraine.
Some people experience muscle weakness on one side of the body before a migraine attack. This can also be a sign of a stroke, however, so consult a doctor to rule out any other causes.

Vertigo or double vision
One type of migraine, called a basilar-type migraine, can cause dizziness, double vision, or loss of vision.
Some people with migraines may experience balance problems too. In a recent study, Dr. Calhoun and colleagues found a link between migraine intensity and dizziness or vertigo. The stronger the migraine, the more likely patients were to have these complaints.
"Our best conclusion is that it's actually part of migraines," she says. "It's a migraine symptom."

After the migraine passes, a person may feel like her body has been pummeled.
In a recent study, researchers interviewed migraine patients and found that they commonly experienced symptoms such as fatigue, trouble concentrating, weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and loss of energy during the post-migraine period.
"It can be very fatiguing," Dr. Messina says.

Actor Akshay Kumar, known for performing dare devil stunts, said that he has never hurt or injured anyone filming action sequences in his 24-year film career.
Popular for his 'Khiladi' series, the actor says, to him safety comes first.
"In my 24 years of career, no one sustained injuries or got hurt during any action scene or a stunt. For me safety comes first," he said.
Akshay has joined hands with Yuva Sena Chief Aditya Thackeray and launched a martial arts training institute to give self-defence training for women in Mumbai.
The actor revealed that recently, during a shoot with actress Sonakshi Sinha for a TV channel, the actress had to shoot (gun), but none of the persons on the set checked the gun and later on when he checked, there was a bullet inside it.
"I shouted at them as no one checked it. It is all about safety and it is very important," he said.
Akshay, who is a black belt in Taekwondo, travelled to Bangkok to further study martial arts. After learning Muay Thai combat sport in Thailand, he became a martial arts trainer in Mumbai.
"It is important for women to learn self defence. Martial art training is a must and we all need it today. It is a small initiative, I don't know how far this will go," Akshay, told reporters yesterday at the graduation day of the current batch of the institute.
He said he was not in town during the initial few days of the opening of the institute, adding, the graduation day was the right time to talk about it.
"For the next batch, whenever I am in the city, I will be coming on weekends," the 46-year old actor said.
Meanwhile, Akshay declined to comment on the news of his father-in-law and legendary actor Rajesh Khanna's bungalow 'Vardan Aashirwad' being reportedly sold.

North and South Korea hold rare high-level talks
North and South Korea have held their highest level talks in years, exploring ways to improve their tense relations.
Two rounds of meetings - requested by Pyongyang - took place at the border village of Panmunjom. More may follow.
There has been no word on how the talks went. Family reunions planned for this month were expected to be discussed, but the agenda was left open.
Pyongyang has threatened to cancel the reunions because of annual South Korea-US military exercises due in February.
China, Pyongyang's main ally, welcomed the talks, the highest-level meeting with the North and South have held since 2007.
The BBC's Lucy Williamson, who was at the border area, says the delegations appeared to greet each other cordially.
The two sides met for 90 minutes in the morning at South Korea's side of Panmunjom and then reconvened for three hours in the afternoon, after which the two chief delegates held one-to-one discussions.
'Open mind'
South Korea's Deputy National Security Adviser Kim Kyou-hyun is leading Seoul's delegation at the Panmunjom talks.
Ahead of the meeting, Mr Kim said: "This is an opportunity to open a new era of the Korean peninsula.
"I would like to attend the meeting with 'open attitude and mind' to study the opportunity.
"We will make an effort to proceed with the separated families reunion event as agreed," he added.
North Korea's delegation is being headed by Won Tong-yon, a senior official specialising in inter-Korean ties, South Korean officials said.
In a news conference in Geneva on Tuesday, North Korea's ambassador to the UN, So Se-pyong, spoke of the need to terminate all hostile military actions, which he described as the main obstacles to peace.
He called for the US and South Korea to suspend their planned military exercises, describing them as "of a sinister and dangerous nature".
The two Koreas are due to hold reunions of families, divided by the partitioning of the Korean Peninsula at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, for five days from 20 February.
The last such reunions took place in 2010. But these reunions coincide with the start of the US-South Korea joint military drills - annual exercises that anger North Korea.
The drills last year led to a prolonged rise in tensions, as North Korea threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes and withdrew its workers from a joint industrial zone.
Many in South Korea see Pyongyang's reaction as a test of its new approach, the BBC's Lucy Williamson in Seoul reports.
Last week Pyongyang threatened to cancel the family reunions, warning that "dialogue and exercises of war" could not go hand-in-hand.
More than the talks, the exercises are for many people the real test of whether Pyongyang's charm offensive is a sign of change, or simply a prelude to more confrontation, our correspondent says.

Editor's note: "Free to Be... You and Me" was first broadcast on TV 40 years ago, on March 11, 1974. This story was first published on CNN's Schools of Thought blog in 2013.
(CNN) -- Think back to the age before GoldieBlox, before gender-neutral Easy-Bake ovens, before "My Princess Boy" or "It Gets Better" or "Lean In." Way before apps for infants or TV networks for toddlers, in the days when "Schoolhouse Rock" was in its infancy.
That'd bring you to the early 1970s, when an album in a bright pink sleeve was passed among teachers, parents, librarians and kids. It was called "Free to Be... You and Me," and record players around the country spun songs such as "William's Doll," "Parents are People" and "It's All Right to Cry."
When it debuted in 1972, there was nothing else like it -- at least, nothing so popular. It was feminist and multicultural; an early childhood education in empathy; multimedia before anybody used the word. There was the gold record album, a best-selling book and in 1974, an Emmy- and Peabody-winning TV special that starred its creator, Marlo Thomas, "and friends" -- literally, her formidable list of famous pals, including Harry Belafonte, Alan Alda, Diana Ross, Roberta Flack, Carl Reiner, Rosey Grier and a young Michael Jackson.
More than 40 years later, there's nostalgia in its opening chords and a legacy that still courses through classrooms.
"Children memorized every lyric and asked their parents and teacher to play the record over and over again," Letty Cottin Pogrebin, a Ms. magazine co-founder, wrote in the 2012 book "When We Were Free to Be: Looking Back at a Children's Classic and the Difference It Made."
"It challenged teachers to face up to their entrenched, often unacknowledged, gender biases and to cast a more critical eye on the books they were assigning, whom they called on most often in class, whom they allowed to dominate the block corner or the dress-up box."
The idea began with Thomas, star of the sitcom "That Girl," and, in 1971, a new auntie. Her young niece's storybooks were the same ones Thomas had read as a kid, and recent entries to the bedtime canon reinforced that boys were pilots and doctors while girls were stewardesses and nurses. With the help of her friends and contacts, including poet Shel Silverstein and co-producer Carole Hart, the album and book were born.
"Honestly I was just trying to do something for one little girl," Thomas wrote in "When We Were Free to Be." "That it would grow to become a cultural phenomenon was never a part of the plan."
"Free to Be" was revolutionary for its kid-savvy and reach, but it wasn't universally beloved. For every "Free to Be" class play, another school wouldn't acknowledge it. TV producers initially balked at a song that seemed to show Thomas and Belafonte as an interracial couple. At least one TV critic warned parents to keep kids away from the television when "Free to Be" was on. Focus on the Family founder James Dobson criticized it and advocated for traditional gender roles in child-rearing. Even its supporters argued that some of the skits were classist, and noted its bent toward traditional families with mommies, daddies and children.
But its overall message lined up with shifting attitudes of the time, said Lori Rotskoff, a cultural historian and co-editor of "When We Were Free to Be." In the same year the "Free to Be" album debuted, President Richard Nixon signed Title IX, Ms. magazine began regular publication and TV's "Maude" had an abortion, just months before Roe v. Wade was decided.
"There's something distinct about the cultural moment it was produced," Rotskoff said. "(Free to Be) retained so much of that progressive, oppositional challenging the norm, and it did so in a way that made it palatable."
It fit into changing classrooms, too.
Educator Barbara Sprung spent part of the 1970s creating a nonsexist, multicultural curriculum for preschoolers, she wrote in "When We Were Free to Be." It meant posters and toys that showed women as construction workers and African-Americans as doctors -- materials she sometimes had to create on her own. She instructed educators to run with girls on the playground, to play dolls with boys and to be mindful of messages in books and music.
"As happens in every movement, backsliding occurred," Sprung wrote, noting that plenty of toys were still sexualized, violent and color-coded by gender. "Fortunately, classroom materials and children's trade books continued to depict an increasingly nonsexist, multiracial and inclusive view of the world."
As a kid on Long Island in the 1970s, Miriam Peskowitz was a frustrated "Free to Be" fan. She wrote in "When We Were Free to Be" about her feminist mom's righteous letters and calls demanding her daughter be able take wood and mechanical shop, or that girls need not wait for boys to ask them to square dance. (Square dancing, of course, being one way that schools satisfied Title IX requirements.)
To Peskowitz's dismay, she had the same arguments at her child's school decades later. Peskowitz watched in the mornings as her daughter settled down to draw bubble letters with her gal pals while boys raced each other to the chessboards. The teacher said it wasn't a problem; it's just what the kids chose.
"After I nudged again and again, the teacher eventually taught all the children in the classroom how to play chess. Some girls started to choose that as their morning activity," wrote Peskowitz, the author of "The Daring Book for Girls."
"Very often," Peskowitz wrote, "all it takes to outsmart gender stereotypes is a little creative thinking and a little gumption.
"When we speak about feminism to adults, we tend to talk about negatives and things gone wrong. ... 'Free to Be's' cheeriness still has the power to make our hearts sing. It's a kind of feminism and a gender vision that is generous and likable and fun, all the things that feminism is usually accused of lacking."
But it hasn't necessarily gotten easier to talk about gender roles in school, said Laura Lovett, an associate professor of history at the University of Massachusetts and co-editor of "When We Were Free to Be."
"I talk to a lot of teachers now who say they couldn't show some of these things today," Lovett said. "There's an anxiety about discussing something that might be seen as homosexual; there's anxiety about the school mentioning something that would be seen as negative or positive."
Most educators-in-training are too young to remember the heyday of "Free to Be," Lovett said, and they wouldn't recognize a world where girls don't have access to sports and bullying is encouraged. Ideas that seemed so new in "Free to Be... You and Me" now turn up every day in "Dora the Explorer," "Brave" and long shelves of picture books.
When Lovett plays the music for college students now, she'll sometimes see nods and smiles from those who could sing along, and raised eyebrows from first-timers.
"It was so surprising and so contemporary," Lovett said. "They thought it was so new, and so exciting."
In fact, Lovett said, she's lost several copies to students who borrowed the CD and never brought it back. Instead, they pass it around to others, just the way people heard it all those years ago.

Japan revs up stimulus engines, hoping to restore growth with spending on defense, innovation
TOKYO – Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is in the final stages of drafting fresh stimulus spending reportedly totaling more than 20 trillion yen ($227 billion), rushing to fulfill campaign pledges to act more aggressively to break the world's third biggest economy out of its deflationary slump.
Economy minister Akira Amari and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe discussed details Thursday of the proposed stimulus package ahead of an announcement expected on Friday.
Abe took office last month vowing to make reviving the economy his top priority and promising support both to small businesses and big industries such as the auto sector.
The bulk of the spending will go to supporting industrial revitalization and reconstruction from Japan's March 2011 earthquake and tsunami disasters. It also includes plans to boost defense spending.

Humphreys Peak Climber's Log
easleygone - Apr 4, 2005 12:27 amRoute Climbed: Snow Bowl Date Climbed: Feb 1988
Winter climb made it tough but what a great summit
day! Thigh deep getting to the ridge which was
heavily corniced all the way to the false summits
and beyond to the true summit. My climbing partner
was Pete Simpson.
Scott Wesemann - Mar 29, 2005 12:02 pmDate Climbed: May 2001
Climbed with Adam Roddy and Dustin Call. This peak is pretty easy, although I did get a little altitude sickness about 11,500. Once on top I felt a little better, but the weather was moving in, so we did not stay long. Off to the Grand Canyon.
marauders - Mar 23, 2005 12:52 amRoute Climbed: Standard Snowbowl route Date Climbed: March 21, 2005
Outstanding Day! I started at Snowbowl and broke through 10 inches of powder up to the timberline. The trail breaking was brutal. Once I hit the open, west slopes, a consistent, strong wind took care of the powder and left a solid layer of crust. I hiked in a whiteout up toward the Humphreys/Agassiz Ridge, but by the time I hit the ridge the clouds were breaking. The scenery was breathtaking.
I traversed from Humphreys' summit to Agassiz's summit under broken clouds and sunshine, then took a nice glissade down Agassiz's west ridge to the Snowbowl ski area.
There was a stiff wind on the entire ridgeline that make hiking difficult at times (constant 40 mph, gusts up to 60 mph). The trip took 7.5 hours. I would highly recommend it. Between the two summits, I thought the Agassiz scenery was more impressive.
thebeave7 - Feb 28, 2005 1:24 pmRoute Climbed: Spur Ridge from Snobowl Date Climbed: Feb 27th, 2005
We ascended the spur ridge from the Snobowl that joins the false summit at 12098ft. We spent several hours weeving through the trees in several feet of powder(on snowshoes). Finally topping out on the ridge, and then taking our time cramponing up the ridge to the summit. We then descended back down bowl near the Aggasiz/Humphreys saddle to the ski resort. A beautiful day up top, no other hikers, but many people skiing/boarding the bowls.

4-6 inches fresh powder night before climb. Beautiful sunny day. Took Agassiz lift and hiked from the snowbowl. Snow drifts were very deep at points - especially on summit, where the summit marker post was completely buried. Stashed snowboard and boots halfway up the bowl - made a nice ride down!
Linejudge - Feb 9, 2005 5:11 pmRoute Climbed: Humphreys Trail Date Climbed: August 16, 2002
I got an early start on a Saturday morning and made it to the top by 11:00. Had the top to myself and didn't see anyone until I started down and then I passed someone every couple of minutes. I had a great time and almost wished I lived in Flagstaff.
wwells - Feb 2, 2005 1:42 amRoute Climbed: Standard - Snowbowl trailhead Date Climbed: August 16, 2002
I foolishly left the trailhead late the day before and was driven back down below the treeline by lightning from an impressive early afternoon thunderstorm. Frustrated, I stayed in Flagstaff that night, hit the trail early the next morning, and reached the summit under perfect conditions by 10 a.m. Lesson learned!
Steve Gruhn - Jan 26, 2005 10:01 pmRoute Climbed: Arizona Snow Bowl Date Climbed: October 7, 1996
Easy hike. Only a slight dusting of snow near the summit.
garchov - Dec 31, 2004 8:32 amRoute Climbed: Standard Date Climbed: July 1987
My brother and I hiked this one sunny afternoon and all was beautiful until we reached the ridge. There we were greeted with wind in excess of 60mph. Very chilly and we nearly crawled the last 100 yards or so. At the summit we hunkered down behind the rock wall and then braced ourselves against the wind for a quick picture. Didn't get to spend enough time on top because of the wind but all in all a rewarding hike indeed. Back in Flagstaff, I was washing the dust off my truck and a photographer with the Arizona Daily Sun took our picture and the next day it was on the front page! Man were they huring for a filler or what? 2 days later we hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and spent the night at Phantom Ranch. What an elevation change!
marauders - Dec 16, 2004 1:23 pmRoute Climbed: AZ Snowbowl - South Ridge Date Climbed: Dec. 13, 2004
Incredible day. The snow pack was solid. Strong winds on the summit ridge, but it was nothing abnormal. This was my first time. Although the mountain is fairly easy, the views and setting are unbelievable.
mtsptfam - Dec 15, 2004 5:15 pmRoute Climbed: Humphrey's Trail Date Climbed: July 30, 2004
My wife and I went from the trailhead to the summit and back to the trail head in less then 4hrs. which we thought was pretty good except for the fact that this lady that was jogging it passed us 3 times. Once on her way back from summitting, then again on her way back to the summit (we were fairly close ourselves by then), and then again as she was coming back down. There are always plenty of people around to keep me humble. Our 1st intro into hiking above the treeline. Beautiful day, beautiful mountain. God is good.
uintas - Dec 9, 2004 10:10 pmRoute Climbed: Weatherford Trail Date Climbed: July 1993
My faithful yellow lab joined me on the trip. He loves the outdoors and is a great trail companion. Got chased off the top by lightning. The last mile my dog gave out. My friend and I made a stretcher out of a poncho and two poles to carry him back to camp.
Humberto - Dec 1, 2004 3:03 pmRoute Climbed: Humphrey's Trail Date Climbed: Nov. 27,2004
Outrageous!!!! Started on the trail and since I had snowshoes I veered off and went straight up thru some serious powder :)!!! Took me about 2 hrs to hit the tree line and another hour just to get to below the 3rd false summit. The winds were gusting between 50 and 80 mph, ( my amature guess from being knocked to my feet numerous times!!!) so I didn't feel like it was safe to get very close to the ridge, or to go anyfurther. I boarded down after that in beautiful conditions. A great experience-felt like I was on a real mountain battling real weather for a change!!!
bilmcchr - Nov 6, 2004 12:56 pmRoute Climbed: Weatherford Trail Date Climbed: July 2003, Nov 2003
The July climb was my fist and the worst of the two. I completely underestimated the heat and the amount of water needed. I became extremely dehydrated to the point of nearly fainting. The November trip was much better as I was more prepared. Knee deep snow up to and past the saddle made for some exhausting post holing but it was well worth it.
ChuckO - Oct 19, 2004 3:04 pmRoute Climbed: Standard Date Climbed: June 2001
AZ highpoint. Love those woods, ;-)
n8jojohnson - Oct 18, 2004 11:44 pmRoute Climbed: Weatherford Date Climbed: October 17, 2004
Wind, wind, wind. 60 mph constant on ridge with gusts reaching 100 mph near summit. Very, very cold - but many thanks to the souls who built that rock shelter! Hit freezing rain on the way down and made it back at the tail end of dusk. 11h total.
Brett A - Sep 25, 2004 3:31 pmRoute Climbed: Humphreys Trail Date Climbed: September 24th, 2004
Climbed it after school with my friend. Started at 1:45PM, got to the saddle at 3:00, and to the top at 4:15. It was pretty cold on top and there were about 5 other people up there. Left the summit at 4:30 and got back down at 6:30 as the sun was setting. My 2nd AZ peak and 1st state high point.
cp0915 - Sep 7, 2004 10:26 amDate Climbed: September 6, 2004
Nice hike. Met a fellow Las Vegan, Tom, near the summit. Best of luck to Tom on his trip to Kilimanjaro next week.
Ken Dammen - Aug 21, 2004 6:24 pmRoute Climbed: Humphreys Peak Date Climbed: May 30, 2003
Led a group of hikers to the summit. Two days after this I led the group from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in one day. They were tired after this weekend (but happy). This was my third time to summit. Great time.
Day Hiker - Jul 6, 2004 4:25 pmRoute Climbed: Standard Date Climbed: 05 July 2004
First time on Humphreys. The weather was great; it was partly cloudy, and at the summit there were long periods with no wind at all. It was definitely insect season, but they weren't the biting type.
