New Study Shows Moms Plan to Spend Less on Holiday Gifts - (USA)
Moms with older kids plan to spend less than those with little ones American mothers have confirmed in a recent study what retailers are fearing: they plan to spend less money on holiday presents this year. In the new report from the Marketing to Moms Coalition, a not-for-profit industry association that studies the habits and purchasing patterns of mothers, women with children plan to spend $50 less than last year, for a total of $660 in predicted holiday spending for 2008. Interestingly, t

Interview: Daniel Camarillo - (USA)
Today I am pleased to present an interview that I recently did with Dan Camarillo, awesome BJJ competitor and and 20+ year judo veteran. Dan has a lot to say in this interview about teaching kids judo, the roles of parent vs. coach vs. referee, and avoiding injury in martial arts. Enjoy... .PATRICK PARKER: I interviewed your brother, Dave Camarillo, a few months ago and learned a LOT about the relationship between judo and jiu-jitsu. I wouldn't want to pit brother against brother, but honestly,

Buying Nothing New for a Year... - (USA)
The following article is a guest post by Erin from Prairie Skirts. Erin is a Bay Area (CA) nanny and student pursuing a degree in Environmental Studies. She is in the process of starting up a zine, a small CSA, and attempting to become a fiber artist. I think it was in Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma that I first heard about a person who chose to not buy anything new for a year. She didn't buy anything from a department store, Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Home Depot or anywhere else. Eve

Hangover Theater Guide to the 12 Days of Christmas - (USA)
Gazing out upon the vast tapestry of Pajiban creeds and customs, I am certain that this time of year is feted is various ways. Whether you cherish Hannukah, Christmas, Ramadan, Yule, Kwanzaa, Decemberween or -- as my Jehovah's Witness friends call it -- Thursday, the holidays are about one thing: spending time with loved ones. This is usually accomplished in about 14 minutes. Then the rest of the time is spent caustically avoiding speaking to one another, drinking copious amounts of liquored n

Winter Blog Blast Tour: Susan Kuklin November 17, 2008 - (USA)
Susan Kuklin is an author and photographer of a number of non-fiction books for children and teens. Her most recent book is No Choirboy: Murder, Violence, and Teenagers on Death Row. It’s a powerful and provocative (in a good way) book, tackles a subject that might be considered just as edgy as some of her other books, and it’s reflective of her usual method of writing. As Susan says on her website, “The modus operandi is a book version of cinema verite; that is, choose a subject, find a situati

A Special Guest Review: "The Missing Link: FOUND" - (USA)
One of my favorite things about homeschooling is the ability to utilize skills in context. So often, in classrooms, things are contrived. I offer up exhibit A: play money. Personally, I've never owned any of those faux "math manipulatives." I taught my kids how to count using (gasp!) real money. If we were in a pinch (because I frankly don't have any $100 bills just warming the kitchen counter), I nabbed a few pieces of Monopoly money and kept going. After the child seemed to have a decent enou

Teen Gulag in Texas, Excel Academy, Shuts Down - (USA)
Maybe the economic downturn does have a silver lining (see the Royal Gorge post). I wrote about Excel Academy in 2006. It was founded in 1997 and then was purchased by the Aspen Education Group in 2001. Aspen Education Group became part of the Youth Treatment Division of CRC Health Group in 2007. Today it was announced that as of November 21, 2008, Excel Academy of Texas will discontinue operations and consolidate services. With the robust continuum of services within Aspen Education Group, w

The Kind Of Day This Teacher Lives For - (USA)
Posted by Huston on November 17, 2008 Friday was productive. I didn’t plan anything special, but by about the middle of the day, I realized that it was a really good one. After a simple error identification and correction exercise on the projector for a warm up (courtesy of Yahoo!), most of my classes were studying Oedipus Rex, which I’d perform aloud as they read along and stop two or three times per page to summarize in my joking, pop-culture heavy style (”So Oedipus is getting all paranoid

Metro, Teens, Rhee, and Me - (USA)
There's really nothing more entertaining in the world than sitting behind teenage girls on the Metro. At least, so long as they're talking, as opposed to giggling. Giggling teenage girls are a plague. You think you've escaped it once you graduate high school, but what you don't realize is that there will always be giggling teenage girls. (And I don't necessarily mean giggling at you, either, just giggling in general. Because apparently, when you're a teenage girl, there's very little in life tha

Littlest Pet Shop for Wii and Nintendo DS - Here’s What They’re Saying So Far - (USA)
At first glance, Littlest Pet Shop would appear to be geared toward little girls exclusively. With the pastel colors and doe-eyed animals and gentle nature of the game, it’s a far cry from the knock-’em-down, shoot-’em-up games that little boys often gravitate toward. It also doesn’t seem much like the sort of game that would appeal to teens. But based on the feedback from our reviewers, Littlest Pet Shop - by Electronic Arts for both the Nintendo DS and Wii - is a hit with everyone. From the
