Three weeks later, he celebrated his 11th birthday with his new camp friends, away from home and without family.

I waited anxiously, wanting to know if he'd had a special day because he'd never turn 11 again. AdvertisementWith a little creative planning, I make his birthday special, even though I'm not there. I have my work cut out for me, but I hope to make each camp birthday stand out from the last.

☆ New Book on 'Whistle-Stop' Campaign Trains Describes Politics and Adventure Throughout History

So when Taft accused Truman — not long after his “special” train had stopped in Crestline — of going around the country on this campaign train tour “blackguarding (attacking) Congress at every whistle-stop,” Truman embraced the opportunity. Altogether, Segal has cataloged about 180 campaign train trips throughout U.S. history — from William Henry Harrison to Joe Biden, with dozens of presidents, vice presidents, first ladies, representatives, senators and governors in between. The project was inspired by Segal's personal experience organizing a whistle-stop campaign tour for Republican U.S. Rep. Mickey Edwards of Oklahoma, for whom he was serving as press secretary in 1984. Sometimes campaign trains were used in creative ways, too, as when comedian Gracie Allen pretended to run for president in 1940, as the nation was recovering from the Great Depression. In 1972, Winnie the Pooh launched a bid for the White House from Disneyland's Main Street, U.S.A., then went on a two-week whistle-stop tour with his trusted advisers, Tigger and Eeyore.

Love her or loathe her, Barbie has been transformed again, this time into a version for children as young as 3. I think doll play allows children to really practice storytelling skills, perspective taking and social interactions,” LeVos said. McKnight made it clear that My First Barbie will not be a separate, parallel Barbie universe. Andrea Werner, a pediatric occupational therapist in West Hartford, Connecticut, and mother of a preschooler and an infant, supports doll play as developmentally valuable. “Companies will always be trying to sell consumers the next best thing.”Kohchi isn’t entirely sold on My First Barbie as appropriate.
☆ Billionaire Robert F. Smith's awkward James Bond-themed birthday bash featured strict security and port-a-potties — despite being held at his multimillion dollar mansion with 15 bathrooms

For his 60th birthday, billionaire Robert F. Smith's wife threw him a James Bond-themed party. Partygoers weren't pleased with the "massive security" and port-a-potties outside, according to the New York Post. "They frisked you when you came out of the bathroom," one guest told New York Post, suggesting it was in an effort to search for hidden cameras and other surveillance technology. Despite the home boasting 15 bathrooms, guests say they were asked to use port-a-potties placed outside during the five-hour long party. It wasn't a great party," the guest told the New York Post.
