There's no better way to start a new year than with a showhouse filled with ideas that promise to inspire home-improvement plans and lofty design dreams. Now in its 36th year, the American Red Cross Designers' Showhouse in West Palm Beach, Florida, is first-in-the-nation on the showhouse schedule, and it continues to dazzle with charming rooms and creative solutions. In 2011, 15 rooms of a Mediterranean-style house overlooking Lake Worth were transformed by 18 design visionaries. Statement fabrics in color combinations both creative and classic, theatrical lighting, and window treatments that draw attention to engaging views prove that this showhouse deserves its front-runner status.

Keith Williams, Exterior/Entrance
"We wanted the tall adonidia palms to create a canopy feeling and a balance to the tall structure," says landscape architect Keith Williams of the showhouse's exterior.
Pavers for a motor court were obstacles for Williams when designing an elegant entrance to the showhouse. The structure's architecture was equally challenging, inspiring Mediterranean plantings that created an unexpected garden environment.

Custom planters designed by Williams filled with ficus nitida trees frame the entryway, welcoming guests.
A faux bois bench sitting next to two lead spheres offered a rest space and emphasized the exterior's garden inspiration.

Lisa Erdmann, Family Room
Designer Lisa Erdmann selected a blue-and-white palette for the family room. The color combo appears on the damask drapery panels by Cowtan & Tout. Moroccan urns by Stephen Baker Turner add flair to the family room.
Before laying a finger on the room, Lisa Erdmann noted that the light-flooded interior was a "perfect canvas for pattern and color." So a chartreuse geometric paper by Quadrille was applied to the wide expanse paneling, offsetting creamy white walls that complement the room's signature indigo-and-cream.

"I believe the ceiling is the most underdecorated area of most rooms, but it can have such an impact," says designer Lisa Erdmann. "In this room, we applied moldings to the ceiling and wallpapered with a blue-tinted grass cloth by Thibaut to warm the room and add visual interest to the oftentimes plain ceiling space."

Mimi Masri, Living Room
Designer Mimi Masri was given the challenge of turning a long and narrow space into a living room. "I wanted a striking room that had appeal and held your attention," she says.
Masri took advantage of the room facing east, and used a saturated gray for the walls and paired it with chartreuse, which kept the room warm and bright. A soaring window treatment features a Creation Baumann sheer over the glass, with side panels in a yellow-and-white leaf pattern from Schumacher.
Interior design: Mimi Masri, MM Designs, LLC, 3131 Vincent Rd., West Palm Beach, FL 33405; 561/671-1958.
Masri decided to dress up the living room's floor-to-ceiling chimney with custom, faux-finished modern tin tile by American Tin Ceiling Company and mirrors framed in antique tin from Africa by Andrew Martin Company.
Dramatic fabrics cover the Circa Who wing chair and Excentricities sofa in the center of the space.

Scott Robertson, Stairwell
"I emphasized the verticality of the space with stripes and full-length draperies," says Scott Robertson, who designed the showhouse's stairwell.
Wrapped in wrought-iron railing, the spiraling stairwell unified the adjacent rooms while imparting its own elegance. Stripes of Benjamin Moore's Acadia White were painted between lengths of Scalamandre wallpaper. Dramatic blue-gray draperies of Schumacher silk drop from the ceiling. A bronze basket of beets in a scale by Luis Montoya and Leslie Ortiz adds a sculptural element to the sweeping space.

Chad Renfro, Study
"The design was a study in contrasts," says designer Chad Renfro of his study room area. "The goal was to challenge those enjoying the room to discover something new each time and to feel so comfortable they never want to leave."
A nickel pendant light by Circa illuminates the navy lacquer trim on chalky walls. A mix of patterns and textures includes batik drapery panels by Duralee, natural woven shades by Hunter Douglas, an antique zebra rug, and geometric throw pillows. Sunbrella fabric covers the sofa and chairs.
Interior design: Chad Renfro, Chad Renfro Design, 350 South County Rd., Suite 203, Palm Beach, FL 33480; and 276 9th St. N.E., Atlanta, GA 30309; 561/655-2208, chadrenfrodesign.com.
The study's bathroom features a vanity cabinet with sink and facet by Starbay Furniture and an antique, blue rug runner from Orley Shabahang.
A portrait by Barbara Crimi hangs on the wall wrapped in blue-and-white paper by Quadrille. A vanity-chair set by Starbay Furniture offers a unique storage space for the study area.

Joseph Pubillones, Library
"In this room, the librarian has let her hair down and shown that sexy and smart can coexist," says designer Joseph Pubillones, who designed the library space.
Instead of the predictable rich, deep tones found in many libraries, Pubillones decided to make a book nook that is bright and beachy. Cranberry red accents infuse the room with a punch of color on the desk lamp, the edge of the white linen drapery panel from Holland & Sherry at the window, and on insets that highlight each bookshelf cubby and its contents.
Interior design: Joseph Pubillones, Joseph Pubillones Inc., 44 Cocoanut Row, #T-14, Palm Beach, FL 33480; 561/655-1717, jp-interiors.com.
Pubillones stuck to the cranberry theme by including framed prints of Roman busts and vintage club chair by Milo Baughman, both of which sport the color.
A large, eye-catching painting by Veronica Volani-Inza adds spice to the sitting area. Fun floral pillows by Rubelli cover the Duralee-upholstered sofa, encouraging guests to snuggle up with a good read.

Jennifer Garrigues & Diana El-Daher, Landing
Designer Jennifer Garrigues packed an eyeful of artful designs into the landing area. Painted in taupe with a sleek, glossy finish by Benjamin Moore, the walls provide a neutral but sassy foil to casual slipcovered furniture.
Interior design: Jennifer Garrigues and Diana El-Daher, Jennifer Garrigues Inc., 308 Peruvian Ave., Palm Beach, FL 33480; 561/659-7085, jennifergarrigues.com.
Embroidered throw pillows on the chairs and daybed pull together the bright colors used in accessories and artwork. A pair of paintings by Chamblis courtesy of Liman Studio Gallery and floor-scraping draperies by Norbar Fabrics calls attention to the landing's tall ceilings.
Garrigues mixed modern furniture with unexpected accents like the ceramic urn lamps on top of a drop-leaf table. Black swivel chairs flank the leather cocktail ottoman and linen draperies add ambience to the space.

Stephen Mooney, Master Bedroom
"I like variety," says designer Stephen Mooney. "When everything is similar in type, you get that one-stop shopping look."
In the master bedroom, Mooney included a tailored headboard upholstered in a pale green fabric by Cowton & Tout. The bed is flanked by mahogany tables. At the foot of the bed, a bench covered in a trellis-patterned green velvet by Sclamandre adds a formal element.
Interior design: Stephen Mooney, Stephen Mooney Interiors, 6 Via Parigi, Palm Beach. FL 33480; 561/659-1862, stephenmooneyinteriors.com.
Mooney had generous proportions to use in creating not only a sleeping area in the master bedroom but a sitting area as well. A tropical pattern from Lee Jofa covers an armchair and provides a sense of movement among the solid-colored furniture. Lucite coffee tables by Michael Taylor are inconspicuously chic.
Mooney only needed to add a few elements to the already finished bathroom: wall covering, furniture, rugs and accessories. A soft vine wallpaper by Sherle Wagner added interest to the walls with little effort. The chair by Stephen Mooney Interiors is upholstered in Brunschwig & Fils checkered fabric.
Mooney drenched the sunny space with a glowing shade of apricot by Benjamin Moore. The sleek "X" bookcases are a sharp contrast to the comfy couch, sofa, and ottoman in the sitting space.

Joseph Cortes & Kevin Marnell, Guest Room
Designers Joseph Cortes and Kevin Marnell's guest room included a seaside view overflowing with luscious palm trees. A grass cloth from Phillip Jeffries wraps the walls. At the large expanse of glass, a Roman shade fabricated from a Kravet ikat material and aqua-colored side panels soften the room and act as a contrast to the contemporary furniture.

Judy Howard, Powder Room
"Powder rooms should be alive with color and sass to make up for their tiny dimensions," says designer Judy Howard.
Pulling from the chic, retro throwbacks that make Tory Burch and Kate Spade such hits on the runway, designer Howard chose a Designers Guild wall covering in 1960s coloration for the small powder room. Modern metal sconces with crystal balls sprouting out of each end flank a Century mirror that reflects the statement flower pattern. A Sherle Wagner pedestal sink formed from sand-colored marble lightens the small space.

Katherine Shenaman, Guest Room
Designer Katherine Shenaman wanted to "create something serene, a soothing oasis away from the 'hustle and bustle' of daily life" with her bedroom sweet.
Champagne-colored Lee Jofa wallpaper complimented by butterfly artwork above the bed supplied by Wally Findaly Galleries added a whimsical feel to the space. The dramatic, slate blue bed-frame by Hamilton Furniture was masculine, but maintained the room's mystical feel. Shenaman then highlighted the guest room's 12-foot ceiling with a 1950s-style, star-inspired light fixture formed of solid brass and plated in nickel.

Roman shades by Norbar Fabrics allowed natural sunlight to brighten the bedroom and provided a garden view for guests. A series of prints from Throwbridge Gallery draws attention to the room's high ceiling.

Frank Maguire, Lady's Library
Inspired by the concept of "man cave" translated to the needs of a woman, Frank Maguire designed this lady's library. "I wanted to take a break from the traditional feminine palette and made a stronger color statement to reflect today's woman," he says. To achieve this look, Maguire contrasted bright greens and pale yellows with dark-finished wood and bold, brown walls by Benjamin Moore. The result: The perfect lounge area for the woman who needs a workspace in her home.
A vintage, palm tree-patterned fabric and an overdyed Oriental rug added a modern twist to the lady's library. "Here, the high-functioning woman meets her stylish match," Maguire says.

With small dimensions, there was no room for Leta Austin Foster and her daughter, India, to overwhelm the dining room with decoration. "Our goal was to keep the space open and light," says Austin Foster.
The family duo axed window treatments in the dining room space because bushes outside provided ample privacy. A Lucite-and-glass table and 1970s Saporitti chrome chairs covered in striped linen sit atop a giraffe-print rug. The walls tease with a hint of pattern extended by a covering that features overlapping squares of Chinese paper by Gracie.

Item #1 of 2 THEBLAZE.COM – A Texas man's pregnant wife made it clear she was against having a firearm in their house. However, the husband insisted she learn how to use a gun to protect herself just in case. In fact, it was just a few months ago that he took her out to […]
How I became George Obama's 'brother'
By Dinesh D'Souza
Published August 16, 2012 – FoxNews.com
A few days ago I received a call from a man I recently met named George. He was a bit flustered, and soon informed me that his young son was sick with a chest condition. He pleaded with me to send him $1,000 to cover the medical bills. Since George was at the hospital I asked him to let me speak to a nurse, and she confirmed that George's son was indeed ill. So I agreed to send George the money through Western Union. He was profusely grateful. But before I hung up I asked George, "Why are you coming to me?" He said, "I have no one else to ask." Then he said something that astounded me, "Dinesh, you are like a brother to me."
Actually, George has a real life brother who just happens to be the president of the United States. (George Obama is the youngest of eight children sired by Barack Obama Sr.) George's brother is a multimillionaire and the most powerful man in the world. Moreover, George's brother has framed his re-election campaign around the "fair share" theme that we owe obligations to those who are less fortunate.
One of Obama's favorite phrases comes right out of the Bible: "We are our brother's keeper." Yet he has not contributed a penny to help his own brother. And evidently George does not believe, even in times of emergency, that he can turn to his brother in the White House for help.
So much for spreading the wealth around.
Obama's refusal to help George is especially surprising because George doesn't just live in American-style poverty but rather in Third World poverty. He lives in a shanty in the Huruma slum in Nairobi. He gets by on a few dollars a month. Obama also has an aunt named Hawa Auma, his father's sister, who ekes out a living selling coal on the streets of a small village in Kenya. She says she would like to have her teeth fixed, but she cannot afford it. Obama hasn't offered to help her either.
What's going on here? Why is President Obama so hesitant to help family members in need?
A couple of years ago, George teamed up with a British journalist Damien Lewis and the two of them published George's story in a book called "Homeland." Yet according to Lewis, shortly before the book's publication in America, the publisher Simon & Schuster decided to shred the entire print run, more than 20,000 copies. Lewis tried unsuccessfully to get an explanation from Simon & Schuster but to no avail. He now suspects that the White House convinced Simon & Schuster that George's story might prove embarrassing to the president.
In 2010, George also applied for a visa to come to the United States and was refused. While George confesses that in his younger years he was a delinquent, he has never been convicted of any crime. Moreover, he has a very good reason to visit the United States: his mother Jael Otieno lives in Atlanta. So why would the U. S. embassy in Nairobi refuse a tourist visa to the brother of the president who just wants to spend time with his mother?
In the past few days, an article has been circulating on the web that depicts George as a social undesirable. First published in the London Daily Mail, the article portrays George as a habitual drunk and philanderer. I spent a day with George this past February while interviewing him for my documentary film 2016: Obama's America. I can attest that George is not an innocent. If he had been, he would not have survived life in the Huruma slum. Yes, George is street smart and cunning and I did smell alcohol on his breath.
But so what? George may be a drinker and a skirt-chaser but, as becomes clear from his book, he is also a survivor. He has overcome his past as a gang-member and petty thief and now works as the organizer of a slum soccer league. He is trying to uplift himself, and he is trying to help slum kids aspire to a better life. On balance, Lewis assures me, "George is not a bad guy. He is on the side of the angels."
But even if Lewis is wrong, and George exhibits some harmful cultural pathologies, the liberal argument—one that Obama himself makes in his book "The Audacity of Hope" — is that the cultural pathologies of the poor are themselves the product of social disadvantage.
Barack Obama Jr. first met George in 1987, when George was five years old. He met George again in 2006 when he visited Kenya as a U.S. Senator from Illinois; George was then in his early twenties. Had Obama helped George along the way, perhaps this young man would not have ended up dirt-poor and living such a degraded life.
So what's the real story here? Where's George Obama's "fair share"? George's tragic situation exposes President Obama as a hypocrite. Here is a man who demands that others pay higher taxes to help the poor—even poor people who are not related to them—while Obama himself refuses to help a close relative like George.
Yet I believe there is a deeper explanation that goes beyond hypocrisy for why Obama wants nothing to do with George. After all, it would cost Obama so little to raise George out of poverty, and yet he won't do it. This isn't mere negligence; it suggests an active animus. The reason for that animus emerges in George's book and also in my interview with George in the film 2016. In that interview, George rejects the anti-colonial philosophy that was espoused by Barack Obama Sr. This is the "dream from my father" that President Obama celebrates in his own autobiography.
From the record of their lives and writings, it's clear that Barack Obama Sr. and Barack Obama Jr. both share the anti-colonial view that blames Western colonial exploitation for the poverty and suffering of the Third World. Yet George doesn't buy it. He observes that at the time of its independence in the early 1960s "Kenya was on an economic par with Malaysia or Singapore. Look where we are now, and where they are. They're practically developed and industrialized, while Kenya is still a basket case." George believes that poor countries should take responsibility for their own situation. "What's our excuse for failure? We don't have one. We've only got ourselves to blame."
Incredible though it seems, George Obama is, within the context of his own society, a conservative. He doesn't worship at the shrine of Barack Obama Sr. and he espouses an ideology diametrically opposed to that of his father and his famous brother. George has experienced first-hand the empty rhetoric of the two Baracks, and he rejects it based on his actual experience of Third World poverty.
No wonder President Obama despises George, doesn't want him around, doesn't care to hear George's views circulated in America, and won't lift a finger to help him even when George's son is in the hospital.
So that's why George Obama felt he had to call me. He had no one else to call. He reached out to me in his time of need because he felt he couldn't call on his real life sibling living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
That's how I got to be, if only metaphorically and for a short time, George Obama's "brother."
Dinesh D'Souza, narrator and co-director of the film "2016 – Obama's America," is also the author of the new book "Obama's America," published this week by Regnery.

Artemis satellite safely under full control
19:00 CEST. ESA's Artemis telecommunications satellite, launched by an Ariane 5 on Thursday 12 July 2001 at 18:58 local time (23:58 CEST) in Kourou, French Guiana, was left stranded in a lower than expected orbit due to a malfunction in the launcher's upper stage.
An anomaly appeared at the beginning of the propulsion phase of the upper stage and is the origin of this degraded performance. The solid propellant boosters and the main cryogenic stage performed correctly throughout the launch phase.
The spacecraft was put into safe sun pointing conditions by ground controllers approximately two hours after launch. The solar panels were partially deployed, as planned for the nominal mission, and are powering the satellite correctly. Artemis is fully under control and is being monitored via different ground stations all over the world through the Fucino ground station in Italy.
Artemis can remain in this safe condition for as long as is needed to allow ground controllers to elaborate alternative scenarios to bring the mission back on track.
Thanks to the availability of the ion propulsion system for position-keeping manoeuvres, most of the chemical fuel on board the satellite can be used to raise its orbit to the expected altitude. Only at the end of next week should it be possible to have a complete assessment of the situation and to identify a corrective strategy.
The multi-purpose Artemis satellite is intended to demonstrate new technologies and play a significant part in developing Europe's new worldwide satellite navigation system, new mobile communication services and inter-satellite data relays.
Further information on the data analysis and on the enquiry board that has been put in place to analyse the malfunctioning of Ariane 5 can be found on the Arianespace website.

Canada's Greater National Capital Region is an integrated community in terms of employment, business, access to services, post-secondary education, recreation, culture, social and family networks, ecological landscape, and other factors.
The social vitality and economic resilience of this region through the coming decades would be greatly enhanced by cost-effective, prompt, comfortable and ecologically sound passenger rail service integrated with other transit, cycling, pedestrian and automobile infrastructure.
Improved whole-region mobility complements economic, environmental and social objectives, and creates new opportunities for the entire spectrum of households, businesses and visitors.
Moose Consortium is formed by a dozen companies actively arranging to finance, develop and operate a commercial passenger rail service on 400 km of existing track. Bi-level trains will traverse Ottawa and Gatineau, and will operate out to six semi-rural towns throughout the Greater National Capital Region (NCR).
We are planning a safe, affordable, comfortable and sustainable passenger railway to integrate the urban and rural areas in a manner that is fully complementary with the existing municipal transit systems and other commercial transit services.
Our plan is based upon a self-financing strategy for the development and operation of all the systems and extensions required for a metropolitan-scale passenger railway without dependence upon any public debt or taxes.
Let us know what you think. Please complete the survey at the bottom of this page.
Moose rail will generate 100 square kilometres worth of sustained property value enhancement. Each train station will be an autonomous business in the Moose "Linked Localities" Consortium. In order to be provided train service, participating owners and investors in commercial and residential property around each station would need to agree to split the increase in after-tax net income and realized asset value, which will be independently determined in a standardized commercial formula.
No legislative or regulatory changes at any level of government whatsoever are necessary for Moose Consortium to bring this passenger rail system to life. However a private sector initiative of this type does depend on the several public sector stakeholders understanding that the interprovincial nature of the Moose rail project triggers clause 92.10(a) of the Constitution Act of 1867 which provides our plan a clear path through an otherwise very complex multi-jurisdictional matrix.

We may have not met before, but I'm Mia from Chronicles of Mia. Today, I am writing a guest post for Raiding After Dark for BlogAzeroth's Annual Holiday Post Exchange (a.k.a Furtive Father Winter)! I'm happy to write this post, mainly because I've never came across Saif's blog before. I may not celebrate the holidays, but I figured I would do something out of the ordinary for a new friend. I was a bit off guard when I had to think up a quick post or gift to Saif. I thought I had my blog's email account set to be forwarded to my personal gmail account. That wasn't the case. It was not set up, and I basically received a couple of emails late. This included who my gift recipient was , which was Saif. After looking around Raiding After Dark, I noticed the helpful Raid guides that Saif made. So as a gift, I decided to make my own little guide! Enough chatter. Let's begin! :D
How to Farm a Low Dungeon Pet on a New Server...This guide will be helpful if you are looking to make some gold or to surprise a new friend.
What You Will Need:
- Having a character at least 55 or above
- Lots of Free Time
1) Start off by picking your server - I chose a role-playing server named Moonguard. It's also the same server that Saif has a couple characters on, so I'm assuming it's his main server.
2) Next, make a Death Knight Character - I suggest you make your Death Knight's race based on what pet you are farming. If you are farming for the Deviate Hatchling, make a Horde character. If you are farming for the Green Wing Macaw, make an Alliance one. This will help you save time in the long run, and avoiding PvP. You are also going to be using free time to farm for a Dungeon pet, and it could take a while. Make sure you are able to have a bit of fun with your Death Knight's Race.
3) Do ALL the Death Knight Quests! - You should be at least level 58, and have 25 talent points by the time you do all the Death Knight Quests. You should also have all your equipped green items replaced by Blues from Quest Rewards. The last Death Knight quest takes you to Stormwind or Orgimmar depending on your Death Knight's faction.
4) Head out to the Dungeon and begin to farm! - I chose Deadmines to farm for the Green Wing Macaw. It only drops off the pirates at the end of the dungeon. If you are farming for the Deviate Hatchling, you have it much easier. The Deviate Hatchling drops off of Raptors at the beginning of the instance. Keep in mind that it may take multiple runs in order to get your pet to drop, but it WILL drop! Don't give up!
5) Sell or Gift your Pet! - After about three full dungeon runs of Deadmines, I got the Green Wing Macaw pet!
That's the end of the guide and I hope you all enjoyed it!
With Love,
P.S - In case you haven't noticed by now, that Green Wing Macaw is for Saif ^_^ Even though I don't celebrate the holidays, I hope everyone has has created lots of good memories from the year ^_^
Thank you Mia! I had just started reading her blog a few days ago when I got this post (and the pet) in the mail. As I've been crawling my way to 100 pets, and didn't have the Macaw yet, it was the best gift. Very kind of you. And as I have a rather cash-strapped DK on Argent Dawn, I think this guide will be helpful in getting some quick money when she needs it.
If you're curious about the post I gifted, it's here, on Bossy Pally. :-)

If sound getting attention is good enough for crankbaits & hard plastic top-water lures, it's now possible with a "soft" plastic jerk bait. And you can fish it 100% weedless in the nastiest cover. No different than anglers adjusting to fishing conditions with a silent or rattled square-bill, but now you can adjust the AirTail Flash to your fishing situation by adding the GrandeBass custom built AirTail Rattle. Going silent out of the package or adding that "sound-getting" attention that could be the difference in catching a limit or going home empty handed. http://www.grande-fishing.com/5-mmf-1b-airtail-rattles/. With the unique tail section design, the tail wiggles & swims on the fall like your favorite stick bait enticing huge strikes. Also, with the AirTail chamber, you have multiple options to add scent, sound or weight. Inserting 1-3 Daisy BB's or split-shot weight and sealing the chamber will adjust the swimming action and fall rate. Eliminating the need for weighted hooks & nail weights in a lot of situations. With the added tail weight, the 5" AirTail Flash will swim backwards into the targeted brush, creek channel or grass-line. Tipped on the deadly end of a Carolina Rig, the AirTail will float the bait in the strike zone much longer than traditional baits putting more fish in the livewell. The erratic side-to-side darting that this bait produces will catch you a boatload of fish from coastal fishing to the mossy swamps of your favorite bass lake. There's all the other soft jerkbaits on the market that look and do the same thing and there is the very first bait of its kind that gives anglers multiple options to attract and catch more fish with one lure.
Rigging Options: Weightless, Weighted Hook, Carolina Rig, Donkey Rig, Dropshot, Tx Rig, Swimjig trailer, Alabama Rig & Weighted Tail Rig. The built in logo hook-slot and a thicker inner back section helps you catch more fish on the same bait. Also injected with micro-salt and our exclusive Mega3+ scent formula. 8 CT

Starbucks plans to turn more of its cafes into destinations for beer and wine in the evenings.
The coffee company says it is looking to expand alcohol sales to "thousands of select stores" over the next several years, although it didn't provide details on an exact timeline.
The chain first offered beer and wine after 4 p.m. at one of its Seattle cafes in 2010. The drinks are now in about 26 cafes, with plans to reach 40 by the end of the year. The cafes with alcohol also serve a variety of small dishes, such as bacon-wrapped dates and flatbreads.
It's part of Starbucks' push to boost sales after the morning rush hour. It's a common concept in the restaurant industry — figuring out ways to maximize sales throughout the day since stores have to pay for rent and labor anyway.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Taco Bell, for instance, recently started highlighting snacks in its ads to drive sales during the slower late afternoon hours. And the fruit shakes and other drinks at McDonald's are seen as a way to attract people throughout the day.
The idea behind the new "Starbucks Evenings" offerings sounded appetizing to some customers.
"I think the food and drinks will be a great combination. This will be the place where you have a glass of wine and perhaps you want to chat with someone, so I don't find it to be a bad thing," said Jeannette Deleo. "I find it to be a good thing."
But branding expert Carlos Pena doesn't understand Starbucks decision. He says the company has already spent millions marketing itself as a coffee chain. Why change now?
"I think it's a bad idea for the long term because they are going to spend a lot more money trying to reposition people's minds all the money they've already spent," he said. "Go back to your original roots. Solidify that."
As for Starbucks Corp., the chain recently introduced new sandwiches and salads to boost sales in the afternoon. It's also branching out into other areas to as it faces more competition in the coffee market.
The company recently purchased a chain of tea shops called Teavana. CEO Howard Schultz has said he wants to make tea as popular in the U.S. as he's helped make coffee.
There are about 11,000 Starbucks stores in the U.S.

Q: I want to upgrade my filtration system. What are my options?
Brock – Baton Rouge, LA
A: In just about every pond keeper's life, the time comes when they want (or need) to upgrade their filtration system. Whether they're looking for a filter that will handle a higher fish load, a three-in-one system that has UV light built right in, or one that'll efficiently skim out leaves falling from that overgrown maple tree, a new filtration system can improve water quality – and give hobbyists a fun new water garden gadget to play with.
Ready to check out some options? Below, we've outlined several upgrade choices for your pond filtration system.
- In-Pond Filtration Systems: The ClearSolution™ 4-in-1 Pond Filtration System is an ideal upgrade for ponds 1,200 gallons or less, particularly if the existing filter is a waterfall filter box. This unit uses mechanical and biological filtration media to remove large debris and dissolved organics, while a powerful ultraviolet clarifier clears discolored water. The system also features a compact energy-efficient mag-drive pump, which circulates water through the filtration system and discharges it through a fountain head attachment or a diverter valve. You can upgrade your filter and add a fountain!
- External Pressurized Filters: For those with larger ponds up to 4,800 gallons, the AllClear™ PLUS & SolidFlo™ Combo Kits offer mechanical, biological and ultraviolet filtration in an efficient, economical filtration unit – but it also includes a back-flush system that allows you to clean the filter with the turn of a dial and rinse away waste water and debris via a discharge outlet. The AllClear™ PLUS system with SolidFlo™ Solid Handling Pump is great upgrade for existing ponds with high fish populations.
- Waterfall Filter Boxes: Add a water feature to your pond while stepping up your filtration with a waterfall filter box, like the ClearSpring™ Waterfall Filter. The unit houses Bio-Balls and two filter pads of varying density for maximum filtration. For the waterfall pattern, you can choose between two included weir options – a traditional smooth sheet-like surface and a ribbed pattern. You can even plumb multiple boxes together via FPT inlets located on both sides of the waterfall box.
- Skimmer Boxes: A skimmer is a practical upgrade in ponds with a lot of leaves. If your pond requires a high-volume pump that you want to hide, or if you want to add some extra mechanical filtration, check out the TetraPond® In-Pond Skimmer. This unit includes a large removable debris basket and an automatically adjustable weir door for maximum surface cleaning. And it's easy to install: Place the skimmer on the bottom of your pond, weigh it down with gravel, connect it to your pump and let the skimming begin!
A new filtration system is a great investment in your hobby. Whichever you choose, have fun and enjoy the upgrade!

A few weeks ago we brought news of an experimental robot helicopter deliberately designed to crash without breaking. But what the researchers seemingly didn't realize is that Air Hogs had beat them to it with the company's Heli Cage toy that shrugs off crashes and always lands ready for takeoff.
The not-so-secret is a plastic roll cage surrounding the chopper's main rotor and fuselage. So when you inevitably bump into a wall or the ceiling, the impact of the spinning blades isn't going to send the helicopter careening across the room. And when it lands in a less-than-graceful fashion, the Heli Cage is designed to automatically right itself so you don't have to go rescue the toy before its next flight. Totally worth the $40 since it pretty much guarantees the helicopter will still be flyable a few days after its maiden voyage. [Air Hogs]
