Child Rape: Penn State Assistant Coach Should Have Done More

November 16, 2011 By C.D. Watson
Mike McQueary should have physically stopped the rape

I am sickened by the claim from Penn State’s Assistant Coach that he helped stop the child molestation being perpetrated by former Penn State Coach Jerry Sandusky. Do you know why?

For those of you who have been a little out of the loop on the Penn State scandal, let me give you a short background. Former coach Jerry Sandusky has been charged with multiple counts of child sex abuse over several years, leading to the resignation of at least two members, the firing of the Penn State President, and the firing of legendary coach Joe Paterno. That’s it in a nutshell, but what really gets me is why no one stopped it.

Nickelodeon’s New Release: “Dora the Explorer: Dora Celebrates”

November 15, 2011 By C.D. Watson

Dora the Explorer: Dora Celebrates has just been released from Nickelodeon, and it’s a wonderful 3-disk set of cherished Dora DVDs. The only issue I have with it is that the release came after Halloween, so enjoying the Halloween DVD doesn’t have the impact it would have had if they had released the set before Halloween, instead of afterwards.

Still, the “Dora the Explorer: Dora Celebrates” box set features three awesome DVDs, including Dora’s Christmas!, Dora’s Halloween and Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure. Here is a little about the three individual DVDs, so you know what you’re getting:

The Kardashians are a Hot Mess… Please Make Them Go Away

November 13, 2011 By C.D. Watson
The Kardashians are the poisoned apple the public longs to bite

Kim Kardashian has been in the forefront of entertainment news for the past few years and, while she is definitely adept at marketing her brand (herself), enough is enough. The whole Kardashian family is a money-grubbing mess, and with the latest wedding/divorce debacle, its time that their extended 15 minutes of fame was over.

The reason I start off with Kim Kardashian is she is pretty much the center of the whole Kardashian clan when is comes to the media. Lets think about why Kim K is famous anyway. Sure, she’s the daughter of famous OJ Simpson lawyer, her step-dad is Bruce Jenner (a great example of why one should shy away from plastic surgery and procedures), she dated football superstar Reggie Bush, and she got some attention by trolling around with Paris Hilton, but what really started her name-branding was her home-made sex tape.

When Your Child Has a Bad Teacher: Three Steps to Resolving Difficulties

November 12, 2011 By C.D. Watson
What to do when your child has a bad teacher

At the beginning of each school year, as parents, we are all hopeful that our children will end up with a great teacher. But we never know until a few weeks in whether or not this has actually happened. Though there are a number of reasons why a really good teacher can get off to a bad start, when it becomes clear that your kid’s teacher isn’t up to par, it’s time to take action – especially in grades K-3 when their are getting their bare-bones basics of learning and reading.

Black Friday Now Bleeding into Thanksgiving Holiday; Price-Matching Helps

Black Friday Specials | The Secrets of Price-Matching

As retailers gear up for one of the largest shopping weekends of the year, stores who traditionally opened early on Black Friday will be starting their specials even earlier this year: on Thanksgiving.

The store openings and specials have been starting earlier and earlier each year. Now Wal-Mart has revealed their Black Friday specials, some of which will begin at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving night. Target bumped its opening up this year too, opting to open at midnight. Best Buy, Macys and Kohls (see Kohls printable coupons) are also opening early this year, and I’m wondering when its all going to end.

Glitter is Dangerous: Three unknown side effects of using glitter

Glitter has been every girl’s favorite art resource, decoration and/or accessory since the dawn of time. Harmless and fun, glitter can make everyone’s day just a little bit brighter, right?

Not if you have my teenager as a child.

Apparently there are some occupational hazards associated with glitter, all previously unknown to me, of course, until my teen got a hold of it.
