THE END OF AN ERA: things
THAT CHANGED OUR LIVES IN THE AUGHTS
as it only a decade ago that a blackberry was a mere summer fruit? That green was, well, a color, and reality TV was that one show sandwiched between music videos on MTV? There were, of course, huge political and social upheavals that roiled our world in the past decade. But there also were the gradual lifestyle changes that you don't always notice when they were happening — kind of like watching a child grow older. Here's an alphabetical look at 50 things that changed our lives since the beginning of the millennium. By JOCELYN NOVECK,

H T 0 5 T A K O LO
G OF N I N N I G E B E H T E S SINC E V I L R U O D E G N A THAT CH
1. AIRPORTS:
Remember when you didn't have to take your shoes off before getting on a plane? Remember when you could bring a bottled drink on board? Terrorism changed all that.
2. ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE:
From acupuncture to herbal supplements to alternative ways of treating cancer, alternative medicine became more mainstream than ever.
3. APPS:
There's an app for that! The phrase comes from Apple iPhone advertising, but could apply to the entire decade's gadget explosion, from laptops to GPS systems. (Want your car to give you directions to Mom's house in Chinese, or by a Frenchwoman named Virginie? There was an app for that.)
4. AARP CARDS ... FOR BOOMERS!:
Some prominent Americans turned 50 this decade: Madonna. Prince. Ellen DeGeneres. The Smurfs. Michael Jackson — who also died at 50. And some prominent "early boomers" turned 60: Bruce Springsteen and Meryl Streep, for example.
5. AGING:
Nobody seemed to look their age anymore: Clothes for 50-year-old women started looking more like clothes for 18-year-olds, tweens looked more like teens, long hair was popular for all ages, and in many ways women's fashion seemed to morph into one single age group.
PULSE: ISSUE 033 |
6. BLOG:
I blog, you blog, he blogs ... How did we spend our time before blogging? There are more than 100 million of these Web logs out there in cyberspace.
7. BLACKBERRIES:
Considered essential by corporate CEOs and moms planning playdates. Introduced in 2002, the smartphone version is now used by more than 28 million people, according to its maker, Research In Motion Ltd.
8. BOOK CLUBS:
Thanks in part to Oprah Winfrey, the decade saw not only a profusion in book discussion clubs but a growing reliance on them by publishers.
9. CABLE:
Cable 24-hour news made the evening network news seem quaint, cable dramas reaped Emmys ... and at decade's end, even Oprah was making the move to cable.
10. CAMERAS:
Remember those trips to get film developed? Nope? Even your grandmother has a digital camera, and she's probably e-mailing you photos right now or uploading them to a photo-sharing site.
11. CELEBRITY CULTURE:
Celebrity magazines fed a growing obsession with celebrities and the everyday minutiae of their lives. By decade's end, we were still obsessed, though Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie had ceded many covers to reality stars like Jon and Kate Gosselin. Celebrity Web sites like TMZ took hold mid-decade.
12. CELL PHONES:
18. DATING:
13. CHEFS:
19. DVR:
Cell phones now are used by more than 85 percent of the U.S. population and for some have replaced land lines entirely. On the downside, they've made cheating on a spouse more difficult — just ask Tiger Woods.
Chefs are hot! The Food Network, whose viewership tripled this decade, reeled in viewers with high-voltage personalities like Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse and Giada De Laurentis. Meryl Streep starred in a cinematic paean to the late Julia Child.
14. CONNECTIVITY:
As in, we're all expected to be connected, wirelessly, all the time. Boss e-mails you on a Sunday? Better answer, unless you're off in Antarctica — you have no excuse.
15. COUGARS:
A new TV series called "Cougar Town" focuses on a phenomenon that gained its name this decade: women dating younger men.
16. CROCS:
Those ubiquitous plastic clogs debuted in 2002 and became the shoes you loved to hate. Kids love 'em, but there are Web groups dedicated to their destruction. Not to be deterred: First lady Michelle Obama, who wore them on vacation in 2009.
17. DANCING:
Dancing never went out of style, but this decade saw the huge popularity of dancing contests like "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing with the Stars."
Dating was transformed like everything else by Internet sites, rendering other ways of meeting people nearly obsolete. And it wasn't just the territory of the relatively young: Seniors found love online, too. Suddenly, DVR-ing is a verb, and what it means is this: There's no reason to know anymore what channel your program is on, or what time.
20. EMBARRASSMENT ENTERTAINMENT:
Embarrassment has always been part of comedy — you need only think of Don Rickles — but this is the decade of cringe-worthy Larry David in "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen, who as Borat and Bruno shamed perhaps the entire country.
21. FACEBOOK:
Can you believe this social networking site was once limited only to Harvard students? Now it's a time-sucking obsession for more than 300 million users globally and a whole new form of social etiquette: Who to friend on Facebook?
22. FAT:
This was the decade that fat became the enemy of the state. New York City banned trans fats, and Alabama — second in national obesity rankings — introduced a tax on overweight state workers.
23. FOODIE:
It's not just that guy in the White House who liked arugula — this was the decade of the foodie, when we all developed gourmet palates. Even a burger became a gourmet item — as in Daniel Boulud's truffle burger, stuffed with foie gras and short ribs.
L A C I BET
41. TATTOOS:
It started innocently enough — maybe a butterfly on the shoulder or a tribal symbol on the bicep. A few characters from the Chinese alphabet later it seemed any hipster who really meant it had a full sleeve of tattoos. The trend extended to middle-aged moms and even tween idol Miley Cyrus.
42. TEXTING:
R u still rding this sty? Hope u r. This is the decade we started communicating in the shorthand of text messages. Get used to it: E-mail is so '00s.
HINGS
43. TV SCREENS:
Television screens became bigger and flatter, making some ordinary living rooms and dens the equivalent of big-studio screening rooms. At the same time, though, people were watching movies and videos on the tiniest screens imaginable — on their iPods and other mobile devices.
44. TWEEN CULTURE:
Tweens, especially girls, became an economic force to be reckoned with, buying everything from clothes to electronic devices to music to concert tickets.
Y? D A E R : M U I N N E L L OF THE MI 24. GOING GREEN:
From the kind of light bulbs we use to the kind of shopping bags we carry to the cars we drive, "going green" took hold this decade. Now, it's not strange to hear a schoolkid tell a parent to use a cloth grocery bag.
25. GOOGLE:
This was the decade that Google became a part of our brain function. You know that guy who was in that movie — when was it? Just Google it.
26. GPS:
We can't get lost anymore — or at least it's pretty hard, with the ubiquitous GPS systems. But you'd better type in your location carefully: One couple made a 400-mile mistake this year by typing "Carpi" rather than "Capri."
32. MUSICALS:
They've been around forever, but this decade musicals came back to film, starting with "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago." But for kids, it was Disney's extremely successful "High School Musical" franchise — three movies and counting — that brought back the musical magic.
30. IPOD:
An icon of the digital age, it's hard to believe this portable media player was first launched in 2001. Six years later the 100 millionth iPod was sold.
As a nation, we became addicted to reality TV, from the feuding Gosselins of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" to "American Idol" to "Project Runway." At decade's end, the Heenes of Balloon Boy fame and the Salahis of gatecrashing fame gave reality TV some unwanted attention.
Fashion skewed to more severe styles — and much black — as so-called "recession chic" took hold in the latter part of the decade.
38
28. INFORMATION OVERLOAD:
Otherwise known as being able to get anything you want within an instant. it’s often referred to as a theme of the decade.
36. REALITY TV:
The DVD by mail service, established in 1997, announced its two-billionth DVD delivery this year. For many, those discs on top of the TV are just one more thing to procrastinate over.
Helicopters hover, and so do many parents. After years of obsessive attention to safety and achievement of the youngest children, some said a backlash was under way.
29. INSTANT GRATIFICATION:
The new social network introduced tweets, retweets, follows and trending topics — as long as it fit in 140 characters.
37. RECESSION CHIC:
33. NETFLIX:
27. HELICOPTER PARENTING:
An explosion in Internet use led to an overload of information about practically everything. It's at our fingertips, but is it accurate? Some call it part of a larger phenomenon, namely ...
45. TWITTER:
Americans rushed to fill their grocery carts with organic food, making it big business — now a $21 billion industry, up from $3.6 billion in 1997. At decade's end, Michelle Obama planted the first White House organic vegetable garden.
35. PREGNANCY CHIC:
If you've got it, flaunt it: That was the new ethos of the pregnancy experience, with chic clothes that emphasized the bulging belly, personal pregnancy photos, and endless coverage of celebrity pregnancies.
Not since the Croc (see No.16) has functional footwear created such a frenzy. The fur-lined snowboots were everywhere, no matter the climate. Los Angelenos insisted on wearing them with shorts.
47. WII:
In a sea of ever-more-sophisticated video games, this simple console became the decade's breakout hit by appealing to the nongaming masses. Wiis became a center of family gaming, home fitness and even senior socializing.
48. WIKIPEDIA:
A boon to lazy students everywhere, the open-source encyclopedia used the masses to police its entries and keep them (mostly) (sometimes) accurate.
RETRO CHIC:
MAD MEN
49. YOGA:
Madonna, Gwyneth and other bendy celebrities brought the Eastern practice mainstream. By the end of the decade, even Grandma could do downwardfacing dogs on her Wii Fit.
Once you forget the smoking, the racism, the sexism and the homophobia, the early '60s depicted by the AMC series "Mad Men" sure looked good. The swinging Madison Avenue ad men make neckties cool again.
34. ORGANIC:
46. UGGS:
39. SEXTING:
Combine texting with a cell phone's camera function and you get this parental nightmare. A survey from Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that 15 percent of teens ages 12-17 with a cell phone had received sexually suggestive images or videos.
40. STARBUCKS:
It's a cliche that there's one on every block, but sometimes it seemed like it — and millions now consider it normal to spend $4 or so on a coffee drink in the morning.
50 You tube Let's end this list and go kill some time by watching ... YouTube videos! The video-sharing site was born in 2005. Political candidates in 2008 even had their own YouTube channels. The most popular video yet: "Charlie Bit My Finger," in which baby Charlie bites the finger of his brother Harry.
31. LIFE COACHES:
In the aughts, there's a coach for everything! So why not life itself? Some say life coaches are merely therapists without the license or regulations.

Wild About the Child BENEFIT TICKETS AVAILABLE WATERLOO — Tickets are now on sale for Wild About the Child, a wine and chocolate affair to benefit the children of Wildwood Hills Ranch. The event will take place from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Feb.12, at the Sky Event Centre in the Black’s Building in downtown Waterloo. Some of the most unique wines, chocolates and hors d’oeuvres will be served, and local musician Mick Staebell will perform some of the most popular love songs of all time. Tickets are $45 each or $80 per couple and are available by calling (319) 266-9994. Proceeds from the event will support the area’s most at-risk children through the mission of the Wildwood Hills Ranch in St. Charles. Wildwood Hills Ranch is a 400-acre, nonprofit facility in Madison County. Founded in 2001, the ranch was created to transform lives and strengthen communities by providing healing, hope and God’s unconditional love to children and youth at risk. Free summer camp and year-round retreats are offered to at-risk children ages 8
10
to 18. Kids are immersed in a fun, safe environment where character, leadership and teamwork are modeled and taught. “The children who come to Wildwood Hills Ranch come from some of the most impoverished and neglected environments imaginable,” said Mary Lou Garcia, director for the Wildwood Hills Ranch. “These are children living right here in Iowa, and for many it is the one time they will come to realize they are worthy of love and can create their own bright future.” At Wildwood, children learn new life skills and gain the confidence necessary to transcend current impoverished, abused or neglected environments. Campers enjoy first-class facilities and recreational activities including horseback riding, water sports, team-building exercises, arts and crafts and more. Most importantly, children are offered hope and love while being challenged to grow into people of integrity who contribute to the communities they live in. For more information about the event and a video about the need, visit www.barmuda.com/cares. For more information about Wildwood Hills Ranch, visit www.wildwoodhillsranch.com.

SIGNATURE SOUNDS
Buddy HOLLY AND CC REVIVAL
Though their time on the music stage was brief, they became signature sounds in rock, and these recordings display their evolution as artists.

BOX SETS ORIGINAL MUSIC
BUDDY HOLLY, CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL BOXED SETS RELEASED By Robert Hilburn Los Angeles Times

BUDDY HOLLY: A set of Buddy Holly recordings shows his creative evolution in remarkable detail from age 13. (Universal Music Archives)
Buddy Holly and Creedence Clearwater Revival were on the national scene for less than five years each, but two new boxed sets help explain why in that short time they were able to earn a place among the most distinguished forces ever in rock.
What makes this set so much more illuminating than a mere "greatest hits" package is that it allows us to spend time in the studio with Holly as he reworks hits from other artists, including Carl Perkins and Bo Diddley, as he tries to find his own path. It makes you respect Holly's accomplishments all the more and encourages you to imagine what else he might have given us if not for that fatal crash.
Though Holly had only seven Top 40 hits before he died at age 22 in a plane crash in 1959, the singer-songwriter left so many recordings that it takes a six-disc set to hold them all. "Not Fade Away: The Complete Studio Recordings and More" lets us follow the West Texas native's creative evolution in remarkable detail from the time at age 13 he recorded an old country song in his home to such distinctive, melodically rich rock hits as "That'll Be the Day" and "Peggy Sue."
"Creedence Clearwater Revival: The Singles Collection"
"Creedence Clearwater Revival: The Singles Collection" leads us on a different but equally instructive journey by showcasing what was quite possibly the most dazzling hit streak of any American band: a dozen Top 40 singles, stretching from "Proud Mary" in 1969 to "Someday Never Comes" in 1972.
THE BACK STORY:
Holly was an ambitious teenager who pursued his love of country music by playing on the radio in his hometown of Lubbock and even laying down tracks in a professional studio in Dallas. But his moment of awakening was in 1955 when he saw Elvis Presley in concert. There's even a photo in the set's hardcover book that shows Holly staring across a crowded backstage area at Presley. On Disc 1 in the set, we hear Presley's influence in a pair of recordings Holly made in 1955 -- his own version of "Baby Let's Play House," which was a regional hit for Presley that year, and the raucous "Down the Line," a rockabilly track that Holly co-wrote. Once he set his sights on rock 'n' roll, Holly and his band, the Crickets, moved rapidly. They had a No. 1 single in the fall of 1957 with "That'll Be the Day."
The boxed set comes in two formats. There's a bargain 02 CCR: two-disc CD package that also includes four Creedence video clips. NEW MUSIC

WHO TO WATCH IN 2010
One of the impressive things about Holly was his rapid maturity as a songwriter. Working on his own and sometimes with other writers, he was equally adept at raw rockers such as "Not Fade Away" and gentle, melodically rich tunes such as "Everyday" and "True Love Ways." This balance made Holly a major influence on Paul McCartney.
LIVE MUSIC SCHEDULE — WHO’S PLAYING WHERE
THE BACK STORY:
John Fogerty, the quartet's lead singer, songwriter and guitarist, grew up in Northern California, but he developed such a love for Southern blues and country sounds that he titled one of his earliest songs "Born on the Bayou." But Fogerty's songs were more than odes to a region. His tunes also contained a folksy wisdom and commentary that linked him, in the broadest terms, to the traditions of Mark Twain and Pete Seeger. After "Proud Mary," he was on such a hit streak that both sides of Creedence's next seven singles became radio favorites. Those songs expressed the frenzy and joy of rock 'n' roll life ("Travelin' Band"), childhood innocence ("Green River") and social commentary (the underclass protest of "Fortunate Son"). The boxed set comes in two formats. There's a bargain two-disc CD package that also includes four Creedence video clips, but I'd recommend the limited-edition version that puts the records on a series of 45 rpm vinyl singles (complete with picture sleeves). It's a great way to hear the music just the way Creedence fans did initially. Creedence was eventually torn apart by internal pressures. John's brother, Tom, left the quartet in 1971, and the remaining members called it quits a year later.
Fogerty continues to tour and record on his own, and bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford replay the hits in Creedence Clearwater Revisited. But the bitterness of the breakup has done nothing to tarnish the magic of these early singles. LIVE MUSIC SCHEDULE - PAGE 18 NEW MUSIC RELEASES MUSIC NEWS
Charles Hardin Holley (Sept. 7, 1936 – Feb. 3, 1959),
known professionally as Buddy Holly, was an American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll. Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death in an airplane crash, Holly is described by critic Bruce Eder as "the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll. His works and innovations inspired and influenced both his contemporaries and later musicians, notably The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Don McLean, and Bob Dylan, and exerted a profound influence on popular music. Holly was in the first group of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Holly #13 among "The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time".
Music career
Seeing Elvis Presley sing live in Lubbock in early 1955 was a turning point for Holly. He began to incorporate a more rockabilly style of sound into his music, which music 2010

However, Decca chose to release two other singles, "Blue Days, Black Nights" and "Modern Don Juan", which failed to make an impression. On January 22, 1957, Decca informed Holly that his contract would not be renewed, but insisted he not record the same songs for anyone else for five years On May 27, "That'll Be The Day" was released as a single, credited to the Crickets to try to bypass Decca's legal rights. When it became a hit, Decca decided to overlook this. The song topped the US "Best Sellers in Stores" chart on September 23 and the UK Singles Chart for three weeks, beginning November 1. The Crickets performed it and another hit, "Peggy Sue", on The Ed Sullivan Show on December 1.

further evolved into rock music. On October 15, he opened on the same bill with Presley,[6] also in Lubbock, catching the eye of a Nashville talent scout.[8] Holly's transition to rock continued when he opened for Bill Haley & His Comets at a local rock show organized by Eddie Crandall, who was also the manager for Marty Robbins. As a result of this performance, on February 8, 1956, Decca Records signed him to a contract, on which his last name was misspelled as "Holly". That spelling was then adopted for his professional career. Holly formed his own band, though at that time it had no name. It would later be called the Crickets, consisting of Holly (lead guitar and vocalist), Niki Sullivan (guitar), Joe B. Mauldin (bass) and Jerry Allison (drums). That year, he went to Nashville for three recording sessions with producer Owen Bradley. However, he chafed under a restrictive atmosphere that allowed him little input. Among the tracks he recorded was an early version of "That'll Be The Day", which took its title from a phrase that John Wayne's character says repeatedly in the 1956 film, The Searchers.

01
In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth — all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water — or for nothing at all. But they’re no match for this traveler.
A warrior by necessity, Eli (Denzel Washington) seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It’s not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive — and continue. Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie’s adopted daughter Solara (Mila Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason — the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather’s domain. But neither will find it easy to deter him. Nothing — and no one — can stand in his way. Eli must keep moving to fulfill his destiny and bring help to a ravaged humanity. The film stars two-time Academy Awardwinner Denzel Washington ("Training Day," "Glory"), Gary Oldman ("The Dark Knight," the "Harry Potter" films), Mila Kunis ("Forgetting Sarah Marshall"), Ray Stevenson ("Punisher: War Zone"), Jennifer Beals (Showtime’s "The L Word"), and Frances de la Tour and Michael Gambon (both of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire").
MORE INFO:
"The Book of Eli" is directed by the Hughes Brothers ("Menace II Society," "Dead Presidents") from a screenplay by Gary Whitta.

OF THE WEIRD BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENT Michael Sampson, who was in court in Salina, Kan., in November, merely on charges of littering and driving with a suspended license, was arrested after a judge spotted him at the defense table, making threatening gestures to witnesses. Sampson was seen holding his thumb and fingers in the shape of a gun, "firing" at a witness and making a slashing motion across his neck.
PEOPLE WITH ISSUES Sara Foss, 39, the mother of 13 in Derby, England, who is scheduled to deliver baby No. 14 in March, told the Daily Mail in November of her vow to continue getting pregnant until she fulfills her desire to have twins. Her longtime, live-in boyfriend works as a boat-builder, but their main income is government benefits worth the equivalent of about $80,000 annually. Foss, apparently also a fan of literature and movies, has kids named Artemus, Morpheus, Voorhees, Baudelaire, Blackbird, Echo, Malachai and Frodo.
LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Bandanna-clad Jason Zacchi, 27, was arrested in Dearborn Heights, Mich., in November after, according to police, pointing a shotgun at a Wendy's employee at the drive-in window and demanding money. Moments later, the shift manager angrily approached the window and yelled at Zacchi, "What the hell are you doing?" The manager had recognized Zacchi through his bandanna. Zacchi is her son.
A NEWS OF THE WEIRD CLASSIC In April 2002, the U.S. Patent Office awarded patent number 6,368,227 to Steven Olson, age 7, of St. Paul, Minn., whose father had filed to help him protect a method of swinging on a swing. The Olsons' discovery: While seated, if you pull alternately on one side's chain/rope and then on the other side's, while gradually introducing a forward-backward thrust, you can swing in an oval-shaped arc, as long as the side-to-side motion is greater than the forward-backward motion. According to the Patent Office, licenses to use the patented method are available from the inventor. PULSE: ISSUE 033 | 26
