Among the active ingredients in the concoction are the amino acid taurine, vitamin B12, sugar and a jolt of caffeine (each 250-ml can has about as much caffeine as a shot of espresso). For added punch, party regulars prefer their Red Bull with vodka or champagne. "It gives you a high, especially when mixed with other substances," says Lauren, 27, a New York City art dealer. "It lets you party all night long." Best of all, it's legal...
Julie Bargmann sees beauty in land littered with mine refuse and scarred by acid-laced waters. At an abandoned coal mine in Vitondale, Pa., she is creating what she has dubbed a "regenerative park" to capture the horror and the beauty of its industrial legacy. "New parks aren't all that different from the tradition of [Frederick Law] Olmsted parks," says Bargmann, 42, referring to the architect of New York City's Central Park.

That amount, multiplied by all the sentimental souls in the nation, equals good business for such companies as EK Success (which sells acid-free pens), Mrs. Grossman's (which specializes in stickers of butterflies and puppies and such) and Fiskars (which makes scissors). There are even magazines devoted entirely to the joys of scrapbooking. Creating Keepsakes is the biggest publication, with a circulation of almost a quarter-million. The magazine started publishing six times a year in 1996; now it is published 10 times a year and attracts 5,000 new subscribers a month. And inevitably, an online scrapbook, LifeSketch.com...
