Give And Receive Gifts From Montclair - (USA)
While walking along Montclair’s streets yesterday morning, they seemed a bit empty for Black Friday. Were villagers away, buying electronics elsewhere, or otherwise descending on the bigger mall stores? On Thursday, December 4th, the Montclair Village Association has organized the Annual Holiday Stroll from 6pm-9pm - and made sure there’s no rain this year! There will be plenty of Santa cheer and live musical groups sprinkled through the streets. Several stores are throwing parties with th

Review: ‘Twilight’ needs more flash - (USA)
(CNN) — The kids are burning for “Twilight.” Stephenie Meyer’s novel has been flying off the shelves, the soundtrack’s topping the charts, and Robert Pattinson — a 23-year-old Brit whose only previous claim to fame was playing Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter movies — has been anointed the hottest pinup since the Jonas brothers. All of which is very good news for Summit Entertainment, the independent outfit that backed the movie at the relatively modest budget of $30 million. Will the b

GameCyte Gives Parent-Facing Video Game Report Card a B - (USA)
As we dedicated gamers boldly step into the holiday season, our featherweight pocketbooks cowering in fear before the mountain of new games to play, the only question we need to ask ourselves is “Which first?” But for parents, awash in a sea of doubt and heresay spawned by video game studies, the question is not necessarily when, but if they should buy games for their children at all; and after that, which games might be appropriate. For the past thirteen years, some such parents have turne

How to Get Kids to Put Down the Remote - (USA)
Wrenching that TV remote – a key to good health/ Kill the TV/ Watch your weight, not the TV The percentage of overweight children and adolescents in the US is growing. An increasing number of teens are leading sedentary lives, sitting for hours in front of their TVs and computer screens, mindlessly grazing on empty-calorie, high-fat foods. 90% of our young people spend three hours a day watching TV and the activity most often paired with television watching is eating: Youth report eating

Do You Remember When? - (USA)
Recently some bloggers have written to the men they once knew. I though about this, but soon realised that I pretty much had the same message for each of them and it wasn’t particularly nice in most instances and probably too heavily expletive filled, even for me, its funny though because at the same time I was thinking about a different aspect of my past and so before I fell asleep last night I took a mental stocktake of my teenage years.Probably the first and most important thing you should kn

Teen Choice is Pretty Much 'Twilight' - (USA)
The kids sure love their "Twilight." The lite-vampire movie won 11 Teen Choice Awards broadcast Monday. And because each award is a surf board, that's enough to stock a surf shop. The sweep even upended the Jonas Brothers, who were poised to be the stars of the night, mostly because they were also hosts. They got to perform a couple of times and did some of their deadpan skits. Their TV show even won an award. Overall, they got five. But Miley Cyrus was somehow poised to be queen of the nigh

If your internet’s not secure, your family might not be either - (USA)
Parenting “digital natives” means that computer and Internet connections have a daily presence in our families’ lives – we check the weather, confirm museum hours, get phone numbers and directions, and find out when schools are cancelled due to weather conditions. A parenting challenge to us as Moms becomes making sure our kids are safe when they use the Internet and talking to them about real-life dangers from online predators, cyber-bullying or accidentally visiting an inappropriate site.

How to recommend a book written by and/or about a person of color (POC) - (USA)
In the midst of the Liar cover controversy there was much talk about recommending books by minority authors and/or featuring minority characters. All of this was good conversation as it was apparent from many comments to the posts across the web on the cover that a lot of (apparently Caucasian) people associated a black face as a book about "other" and consequently passed it by. I honestly did not realize that so many people judged books by covers on this level - I will pick up a book with an

Hysterical Historical: A Relic discovered - (USA)
While walking thru the lobby of the Grand Californian Hotel at Disneyland (where my MIL and SIL and a gaggle of cousins are staying this week while they visit from Chicago) the kids spotted this rare and odd looking device. It was immediately met with “Mom? What is THAT?” . So I explained “Well, kiddos that is a TEL-E-PHONE” from the olden days”. They looked at me blankly and and blinked in disbelief. “Where are the buttons? Where is the screen?” …so right there in the lobby I had to give a
