"Circle talk time" at Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a very important part of every Gracie Bullyproof children's class, where we discuss topics relevant to our character development program. For two month periods, we focus on a specific topic. Right now, we're talking about "responsibility," and the kids share ideas of how they can practice responsibility in their daily lives outside of class. Children are rewarded with points by their parent. When they earn enough points, they're invited to our Gracie Game Day party! Jiu Jitsu culture is not just about learning how to defend yourself, it's also about how to be the best person you can be.

Try Gracie's Bullyproof children's class for free - get an unlimited 10-day pass and a free uniform. We're located at 636 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

A number of people have asked us recently about what happened to Kaleido Lamps. They were there there at the beginning of summer and by the end of July, the lights had gone out.

It happened so quickly that I didn't realize that Kaleido Lamps had left so I reached out to the owner, Tan, to ask him what he's up to. I didn't hear from him for a while, but about a month later, he wrote back saying that he just got back from a long overdue vacation. Having contacted businesses that had just closed up to ask about their future plans, it plays out like this a lot. You just know that they're not likely to get back to you anytime soon because they're re-learning what it's like to get off work and not have work follow you home on a chain attached to your ankle.

When he finally wrote back he apologized for not getting in touch with everyone that he's been friends with in the past five years of running his happy go lucky lamp store. He only had a short period of time to get everything packed up and he got really tied up moving everything to a new location... and that's the good news for those of you who are at a loss for where you can get your hands on the unique twists that Tan put into puzzle lamps. He's still selling them, but he's only selling at events and through his website, kaleidolamps.com.

The Campbell Police Foundation had its annual breakfast benefit this morning at the Home Church to raise funds for the foundation. Key members of the Downtown Campbell Business Association (DCBA) were there to support the foundation and to thank the Campbell PD for their role in making Downtown Campbell a safe and vibrant slice of the Silicon Valley community.

Also in attendance and pictured in the center was California State Assemblymember, Evan Low.

The Campbell Police Foundation is a non-profit entity that was established for the purpose of providing supplemental funding, training, and equipment for the law enforcement, crime prevention, and emergency response needs of the City of Campbell. The foundation is not part of the City of Campbell or the police department, but works with them to identify areas of need.
