Media conglomerates export American culture throughout the world, but other countries often don't consume that culture in its intended manner. Here's a great example: a performance that took place yesterday at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Ha!
New American citizen, Craig Ferguson, just referred to the new Speed Racer movie as "NASCAR Harry Potter."
I was interested to see what books are available to enthuse young Speed Racer fans.

On November 15th, David Tolin author of Buried in Treasures: Help For Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show. To get you excited we asked David to give us some advice for avoiding hoarding during the season of plenty. Below is his advice.
The holiday season is traditionally a time for reflecting on how the past year has gone, and to decide what (if anything) we want to do differently in the coming year.

Good luck to you and to the entlings.
Hi, there! Hope your busy weekend was enjoyable. I have tagged you for the Meme of Five. Enjoy (or ignore; won't hurt my feelings).
