2011 Christmas Gifts for Grandparents | Technology and Gadget ...
By? Kathie Dionisio
As we wind down towards and holidays, and subsequently, the end of 2011, Christmas gifts for grandparents are surely going to have us racking our brains for the best ideas. Buying Christmas gifts for your grandparents can be quite a task: you aren?t exactly sure what they want, and you want to make sure that they will like your gift.
In getting gifts for grandparents this year, remember one important thing: More often than not, grandparents appreciate old-fashioned gifts more than trendy finds. Here are some gift ideas-including some of this year?s hits-which may provide generous ?elderly appeal.?
Gifts for Grandma
Combined jewelry. One of the trendiest 2011 Christmas gifts for grandparents you might consider is combined jewelry, or mixed element jewelry pieces which combine both new and vintage pieces. Try finding classic vintage pieces online or at a second hand store, and add modern pieces to it to customize the look. A vintage chain with a modern locket that has a photo of the grandkids is a great idea!
Perfume. Try gifting Grandma with a classic scent that will complement her. Some popular scents for 2011 include Diorissimo by Christian Dior, or Bois de Iles by Chanel. These perfumes are modern re-issues of classic scents which were formulated between the 1920s to 1950s, so you can be sure these perfume?s subtle notes will appeal to even the most traditional of Grandmas.
Beauty products. Women, even Grandma, can?t get enough of beauty products. Get something you know she?ll love, like her favorite shade of rouge, a themed package of her favorite lotion, cream and cologne, or a set of soaps in a scent she?ll love.
Gifts for Grandpa
Magazine subscription. Give Grandpa one-year gift subscriptions to his favorite magazines. A lot of grandparents really just want to find something productive to do, and magazine reading will surely keep them engaged.
Music player. One of the best 2011 gifts for grandparents would be a music player loaded with favorite tunes from favorite artists. Gift Grandpa with the 2011 iPod and load it with playlists you know he?ll love. Include a music player dock as well so he can listen even without headsets.
Sporting gear. Validate your Grandpa?s hobby by giving him the latest sporting gear. If your Grandpa?s into fishing, gift him with one of this year?s top five fishing rods from Gulf Master, Packer, St. Croix, Quantum, or Shakespeare. If it?s golfing he loves, the Galileo Electronic Golf Scope and Rangefinder makes for an impressive, high-tech gift.
Gifts for both grandparents
Aside from getting Grandpa and Grandma personal gifts, give them a little something extra that they can appreciate together.
A digital picture frame. One sure grandparent-pleaser is the digital photo frame. Purchase a hi-res photo frame and load it with photos of the family?s events from 2011. It?ll surely entertain them, plus it?s a great way to help them archive their photos of your family for this year.
A new coffee maker. Coffee makers of recent years are sleeker, easier to use, and quieter to operate, and will surely please grandfolks who are fans of a good cup ?a joe or tea. For 2011 Christmas gifts for grandparents, new models such as the Krups KM7000 or the Cuisinart Grind & Brew offer superior features.

World News - Report: Tibetan dies while bombing building in ...
By Kari Huus, msnbc.com
A Tibetan man died when detonating a bomb in a government building in western China over the weekend, Radio Free Asia reported.
The man identified as Tashi, 32, part of the large Tibetan minority population concentrated in the western province of Sichuan, targeted a building used to monitor local residents, the report on Monday?said, citing India-based Tibetans with contacts in the area.
"He died in the explosion that also damaged the building. The extent of damage on the government building is not clear," an India-based friend of Tashi told RFA.
The report did not say whether there were other people or casualties in the building at the time, nor report the extent of the damage to the building.
The state-controlled media in China normally does not report on ethnic unrest, so reports like this one typically get out by word of mouth. Radio Free Asia is a U.S. government broadcaster that beams news into undemocratic countries in the region.
Such acts of violence are rare in Tibet and Tibetan-populated areas, though the conflict with the Han Chinese authorities has been more severe since 2008, when a series of protests and demonstrations spread from the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, to other Tibetan areas and descended into rioting. The violence was largely aimed at Han civilians and was harshly suppressed by China?s paramilitary. The clashes left at least 10 dead officially?and dozens more wounded ? though some Tibet watchers say that the casualties were many times higher and that?thousands of Tibetans have been arrested.
A more common form of protest among Tibetans has been self-immolation. According to records kept by The International Campaign for Tibet, a group advocating for human rights and democracy in Tibet, 10 Tibetans have set themselves on fire in the months of January and February alone.
China severely represses actions or expressions of support for Tibetan independence. The Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibetans, fled in the early days of China?s Communist rule, where he has lived in exile ever since.
Ethnic tensions have increased in the past decade with Beijing?s "Open up the West" economic development campaign which has systematically increased the population Han Chinese living in traditionally Tibetan and other minority areas.

booju_newju: Teens, Abortion, and Breast Cancer
Your teen daughter is pregnant. Being a calm, rational, accepting, Booj parent you encourage her to explore all of her options and offer your unconditional support. After a period of time, she comes to you and says she has decided to continue the pregnancy ... because she doesn't want to get breast cancer. When you express confusion, she directs you to http://www.abortionbreastcancer.ca
What do you tell your daughter? While it's always "her body, her choice", is it ever ok to question the reasoning that brought your child to their decision? Do you try to educate her? What if she gets upset and says that by questioning her you are not holding true to your offer of unconditional support? How do you handle yourself, Booj?

Rams willing to deal No. 2 draft pick

The St. Louis Rams are willing to trade the second overall pick of the April draft.
Chief operating officer Kevin Demoff said Tuesday that the team would make a deal under the right circumstances, but has not made any commitments despite a report late Monday that a trade had already been decided. He said new coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead went to the NFL combine with an open mind.
"I think coach Fisher and Les have been upfront that we will listen to offers for the (hash)2 pick," Demoff said in an email to The Associated Press. "I didn't see anything in the report that differed from their statements."
Quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III are expected to go 1-2 in the draft, with Indianapolis holding the top pick. The Rams need plenty of help but are set at quarterback with Sam Bradford, the first overall pick in 2010.
Among a group of perhaps 50 or 60 players that the Rams are believed to have interviewed at the combine are Southern California offensive tackle Matt Kalil and Oklahoma wide receiver Justin Blackmon, a pair who would fill obvious holes.
While the Colts are widely expected to take Luck as the eventual heir to Peyton Manning, it is Griffin who has sparked the speculation. Last year's Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor is seen as a good fit with a number of teams, increasing the likelihood of the Rams dealing the second pick in a bid to stock up.
But the draft is still two months away and free agency has not begun.
Fisher, hired in January, has consistently maintained he has a high regard for Bradford and believes he can become a star. Fisher dismissed last season's performance to a large extent because of injuries to Bradford and his offensive line, plus a time shortage getting accustomed to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' system because of the lockout.
Bradford missed six games with a high left ankle sprain playing behind an injury riddled line. Tackles Rodger Saffold and Jason Smith, and guard Jacob Bell ended the season on injured reserve.
The defense also needs help after threatening the franchise record for yards allowed.
Fisher and Snead were hired after the Rams' 2-14 season tied for the NFL's worst. They were just 10-38 in three seasons under coach Steve Spagnuolo, who was fired along with general manager Billy Devaney. McDaniels is also gone.
