Trendzilla: Juicy Couture is Ruining Your Childrennew
Hey, it’s not that I have something against the young, rich and fabulous. I just don’t think you should be too proud of that handbag or flashy little vehicle that costs as much as most people’s mortgages until you, yourself, worked hard enough to pay for that little item.

Beer Makers in Lather Over Rising Price of Hopsnew
Hops and barley, the two agricultural cornerstones of beer production, have seen price hikes in the past few months that make crude oil look affordable: 100 to 400 percent for hops; 25 to 50 percent for barley, which is made into malt. In Vermont, which has the largest number of artisan brewers per capita in the country, this is sobering news.

Shopping at the End of the Worldnew
This year's Black Friday shop-a-thon bested last year's sales numbers by more than eight percent. This might seem weird, given the collapse of the dollar, the epidemic of mortgage foreclosures, the expanding pension and healthcare crisis, peak-oil-induced soaring energy costs and the overall meltdown of the economy.
