Skip School With Ferris On Blu-ray Previous DVD Editions Already Available Bookmark this on Delicious Print Page As Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller said in 1986-- he asked for a car and he got a computer.

MAKEcation pics: Teach your family to solder - (USA)
We're starting to see some fine submissions to our Teach Your Family to Solder MAKEcation challenge. So far, it's been mainly kids -- very little kids.

Cartoon Network: Now With “Reality!” - (USA)
The Cartoon Network now has reality television. Actually, they have decided to include reality programming since March of 2009 . Yet, with the Cartoon Network turning to “reality,” is nothing sacred on television? The Cartoon Network having reality television is equivalent to Ralphie, in A Christmas Story, finding out his decoder ring is merely a tool for selling Ovaltine; a perversion of things we thought were absolute. Question is, how did it come to this? Reality has slowly contaminat

Britney Spears’ Breakdown Similar To Teens Leaving For College - (USA)
As the release of Britney Spears‘ new album, Circus, her mother Lynne comes forward to say her much publicized breakdown was similar to that of a teen starting college. Uuhhhh, I don’t know if I’d call it similar to a college kids’ breakdown. She wasn’t moving out of the house to go to school, she was having babies, a marriage falling apart, the fall of a career she fought so hard for and lets not forget all the drugs and publicity. I don’t know about you, but that was nothing like what me or

Hope from the generations of PC gamers - (USA)
This blogger has a propensity to concoct longer-than-needed write-ups on mundane topics. I’ll try to make this geek-speak crisp, but meaty enough to deliver the message. There’ll be more about related topics, so I hope you’ll tune in. Despite the seeming apathy internalized by today’s youth due to the rise of technology and their immersion – addiction – to video or computers, there remains hope that the said generations will look and act beyond what they have learned through conventional medium

Home Alone: Is This a Crime? - (USA)
I couldn't believe this article I saw in our local paper today: Mom acquitted of leaving kids alone . Now if the kids were, say, ages 1 and 4 or 6 and 8, I'd be concerned about this ruling. Kids that young shouldn't be left to fend for themselves at home without a responsible adult to supervise. But no. This single working mom left her 10 and 11-year-old kids at home while she worked at a local restaurant. And while she was gone, her dumbass 10-year-old son went down the street and stole

Rethinking “Sex Crimes” and Sex Offender Registries - (USA)
The Economist magazine has just released an important feature article entitled, “ Sex Laws: Unjust and Ineffective .” In an indirect way, the article makes a point that I have been trying to get across in my work on this issue : If you want to keep your kids safe from real sex offenders, we need to scrap our current sex offender registries and completely rethink the way we define and punish sex offenses in this country. That’s because, currently, a significant percentage of those people lis

van helsing - (USA)
Era un po’ che non vedevo un film che facesse vacillare la mente come Van Helsing . Non tanto per le sue qualità trash, che pure non mancano; non lo consiglierei infatti agli amanti del cinepattume per un solo motivo: questo filmaccio è da sconsigliare a chiunque . Quel che lascia sgomenti è che qualcuno abbia prodotto una cosa del genere. In breve: emulo miserrimo del già non ricchissimo La leggenda degli uomini straordinari , l’esimio Van Helsing è in missione per conto di Dio (o face

In this part of my Great Wolf Lodge informtional post series, we'll look at all the "Ages and Stages", or activities and fun things for them to do while visiting. I know that one of the biggest concerns for families of any size when considering a vacation is what activities their children can do and will they enjoy them...that is what I'm going to talk about today. I can actually sum it up in one brief statement...regardless of the ages of your children, or the size of your family, you will fi

Dr. Berman, Oprah and Teenage Sex: My Very Candid Thoughts - (USA)
I haven’t been feeling well lately so my bed and television have become my BFFs this past week. Which of course meant a chance to catch up on the daytime TV. Aside from catching up on my favorite soaps and a healthy dose of Noggin and Sprout with Peanut, I caught Friday’s Oprah and the revisit with Dr. Laura Berman. I know you will remember how in April, Jennifer posted about why she would never watch Oprah again. I loved her post even though I respectfully disagree with some parts of

What Do We Tell the Children? - (USA)
"We’re okay, our family's okay, I always reassure them, but the way we stay okay is to be really careful about how we spend our money." Jeanette Stoneman, mother of five from Hamden, Conn., said this is how she talks to her kids about the economy. It struck a chord with me, and I’m hardly alone. Our polling unit interviewed 500 young people, ages 12 to 17; 62 percent of them said their families had cut back on spending. 67 percent said their parents seemed worried about the economy. If th

Happy Holidays - (USA)
Christmas morning came early when three small children roamed our house. They are teenagers now, so we’re happy if they wake up before lunch. When they were little they pounced on me at 4 a.m., jarring me from slumber. “Let’s open the gifts,” they’d holler. Hey,” I’d say, trying to remember where I was, “It’s December 4th. Christmas is in twenty more sleeps.” In those days, December was bright with Christmas programs and sugar cookies and wrapping paper. And, though our children are older now

Wooden Roller Coasters Make a Return - (USA)
A Wooden Roller Coaster Silly me, I thought there were no more wooden roller coasters. It would appear that I am wrong about that: Wooden roller coasters rock. This was the verdict from my crew of four after a visit to Lake Compounce Family Theme Park in Bristol, Connecticut. My kids are no strangers to amusement parks. In the last three years, they’ve been to Hershey Park and Walt Disney World. But despite the fact that Lake Compounce is far smaller than either of those

With the vampire craze currently at a fever pitch, the CW is joining the fray by bringing The Vampire Diaries to its network, starting September 10th. Based on the best-selling books by L.J. Smith and brought to the small screen by executive producer/writer Kevin Williamson, best known for the popular teen series Dawson's Creek and the Scream horror franchise, the series tells the story of 17-year-old Elena Gilbert (Degrassi's Nina Dobrev), who is still adjusting to her new life reality, four m

Weekly Roundup: Car Payment Almost Gone Edition - (USA)
My wife and I are closing in on a status we have never achieved during our married life together - without car payment . Just a couple months after we married I leased an SUV. The lease represented one of the dumbest finance moves I’ve ever made, and has haunted us, financially, for a decade. When the lease was up I refinanced the balance into a traditional loan, and before that loan was up I traded in the SUV and financed our current vehicle. We are now within one month of saying goodbye t

27Nov08 Thanksgiving 2008 By Jayleigh Categories: Family, God and Marriage You know, I always thought that parenting a teen would be less physical exertion simply because you don’t have to chase after them. But as all you parents-of-teens know, I was sorely wrong. I always think it’s going to be one way, and it ends up totally another. Ie: When Stormy doesn’t get up in the morning, I did as a friend suggested and “let” her be late to school. That got her in trouble with h

Three kids + one desk top computer = must have time limits - (USA)
Did you hear the story out of Sweden last week that a teenager collapsed after playing World of Warcraft for 24 hours straight? He apparently suffered an epileptic seizure after playing for such a long time and is expected to make a full recovery. So this week my question for you is how much is too much for your family? We put limits on our kids all the time…come home straight after school, no playing outside after dark, only one piece of candy, no TV until your homework is done. Do you have

Out Of Control Teens - Do you kick them out? - (USA)
Sometimes parents feel like they have no choice, but to eject an out of control teen from the home. Even some professionals who deal with children recommend it, but is it the right answer? Do these children who are banished from their homes grow up to be responsible adults?When our kids get out of control, it can seem like our only hope is to force our children to leave our home. Even professional counselors often advise that if children don’t respect the house rules and all options are exhaust

Insights from Grading My Last Set of Papers - (USA)
Last night, I submitted my last set of grades for this semester, my final semester (I expect) of full-time teaching, and of course, it was beautiful and hard. But in that moment, as I read my creative writing students’ analyses of their experience in the class, I found affirmation and guidance again. Each student in that class is asked to submit a portfolio of their best work over the course of the semester. They include two shorter collections of two genres and then a larger collection of
