Unfortunately, the fulcrum of this common ground seems to be religious hypocrisy, political ego and class distinction.
Politically, the divide between the givers and the takers, self imposed partitioned walls between common sense Democrats and Republicans and the extremes of Tea Party Fascist and left wing Socialist have made our almost dysfunctional Democracy a laughing stock in the theater of world politics. But, that could all be resolved if our elected Christian politicians lived by their Golden Rule of charity and giving.
The spirit of giving has its merits and rewards. It's increasing the value of Macys and probably saving retailer JC Penny from bankruptcy. But there is a difference between the spirit of giving and charity. Those of us, who have, give to the have-nots by donating to the Salvation Army or other charitable organizations. The money is to help the needy, poor, homeless, hungry and less fortunate who can't help themselves climb out of the desperation of poverty and who somehow slipped through the cracks of a middle-class society into the dregs of the streets and alleys of our metropolis.
Next year, there will be a debate on raising the minimum wage. Currently, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Nevada's min. wage is $8.25 per hour. Wealthy businessmen and republicans argue a higher wage will cause layoffs, reduce the workforce, close factories and hurt the economy. Christian republicans want low wages protecting the bottom line of their business cohorts so taxpayers can subsidize their employees with food stamps, health benefits and school lunches. Ironically, it's the same republicans who argue for the reduction of aid to the same working-poor they created in the first place by opposing the increase of the minimum wage that would remove many workers off of the welfare ledger.
As usual, Christian democrats have the solution. They know the difference between giving a person a livable wage to support themselves and their family without aid from the government and working at a minimal wage needing the charity of the taxpayers.
This Christmas, makes me wonder how a republican can celebrate the spirit of Christmas with a clear conscious. They oppose a person's freedom to sleep with whom they please. They oppose their own healthcare system fashioned by republican governor Mitt Romney in Massachusetts that works in favor of no system or options at all.
They are opposed to an immigration bill providing any type of forgiveness or leniency for workers who have worked and raised their families in this country. They would have us go to war with Syria or anyone else rather than negotiate, talk and resolve situations peaceably.
This Christmas, we should all pray for republican's to have more faith in humanity and allow us to manage our own personal lives; hope for the human spirit and peaceful, negotiated future and know the difference between giving workers a livable wage rather than the charity of taxpayers.
David Farside is a Sparks resident and political activist.

Mark Shuttleworth: "Blasting Past" Apple and not Forgetting Windows
In his keynote at OSCON (O'Reilly Open Source Convention) in Portland (Oregon), Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth talked about his vision of a future Linux.
"The great task in front of us over the next two years is to lift the experience of the Linux desktop from something that is stable and robust and not so pretty, into something that is art," Shuttleworth said. He called to developers to not just emulate Apple but to "blast past" on the design front. He praised the iPhone, saying that it was a "pure software experience", and pointing out the need for beautiful and elegant software. Having regular release cycles also helped software development he said.
At the same time, Shuttleworth opposed advertising banners in free software, saying: "I don't believe advertising will power free software applications; I think the emerging emphasis on services will help support that."
The Ubuntu founder also went on to talk about competitor Microsoft, calling on developers to pay attention to compatibility with Microsoft's products, even if they don't use them themselves, and that platform tolerance is necessary as many users work on multiple platforms.

With Outlook.com, you can recover email that might have been accidently deleted from your inbox. This is also helpful if your account has been hacked, because hackers often delete all the messages in an account.
In the left pane of the Outlook.com window, click the Deleted folder. At the bottom of the window, click recover deleted messages.
Outlook.com will recover as many messages as possible and put them in your Deleted folder. If you don't see the deleted messages that you wanted, it means they are permanently lost.
When the recovered messages are back in your Deleted folder, you should move the important ones back to your inbox or personal folders because the Deleted folder gets cleaned out periodically.
This feature doesn't work for child accounts. This way, parents can be confident that when they delete messages from their children's accounts, they stay deleted.

SAN JOSE, Calif.—San Jose police are asking for the public's help in finding a man they say killed his wife in their home.
Police are looking for 50-year-old Troy Edward Nosenzo after a woman's body was found in a home in a quiet, residential area of the city Friday morning.
Investigators have not released the name of the 54-year-old victim, but say she was the wife of the suspect.
Police are not saying how the woman was killed, but say evidence gathered at the scene indicates that she was a victim of a homicide.
Police say Nosenzo fled in a gray 2006 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, with a California license plate of 8L70015.
The killing was the 41st homicide of the year in San Jose, surpassing the 40 homicides in the city last year.

The Boston University Bridge, a steel truss bridge, connects Cambridge to Boston. The bridge was built in 1928 and replaced an 1850's drawbridge. The Cotton Farm Bridge was the original name of the bridge but it was renamed in 1949 most likely due to the overwhelming presence of Boston University.
Just over the MIT Bridge into Cambridge is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT is a private research university, including five schools and one college. The institute was founded in 1861 as a response to the industrialization of the United States and emphasizes the study of applied technology. MIT is off of Memorial Drive which runs... More

Quakers and The Lamb's War: A Hermeneutic for Confronting Evil
International Historic Peace Church Consultation
Bienenberg Theological Seminary, Switzerland, June 25-28, 2001
Gene Hillman
20th Century
I am choosing the publication by the American Friends Service Committee, of the pamphlet "Speak Truth to Power"12 in 1954, to symbolize the transition from this passive stance of peacefulness back to the active (and activist) role of peacemaker. It was published at the advent of the "cold war" and reflects the danger of the institutional evil that was perceived at that time. Truth is a very important word for Friends, probably second only to "The Light of Christ" theologically. Truth is another basic category of our testimony (as in "the Truth testimony") but is much more than that. Truth has power. Before shortening our name to simply "Friends" (as in The Religious Society of Friends) we used the name "Friends of Truth" and Truth is often capitalized in our writings to distinguish the Truth of the paraclete from a more conventional truth.
Two social conflicts in the United States in the second half of the twentieth century influenced North American Friends in their witness to peace: the civil rights movement and the protest against the Vietnam. The civil rights movement in the United States in particular was a practical example of the power of non-violence. It is hard to identify where Quakers shaped the culture's witness and where the culture shaped that of the Quakers. One Quaker, Bayard Rustin, was in the inner circle of advisors to Martin Luther King, Jr., and the teachings and witness of Dr. King had a major impact of Friends in turn.

Read an Excerpt
Wedged in the middle of an ocean of people, I gasped for air, but nothing came. The heat from a million writhing bodies radiated over me, their sweat weighing down the air. I searched anxiously for an escape, but painfully bright lights strobed on and off, clouding my sense of direction.
I was losing it. I was going to pass out.
I forced in a deep breath and tried to talk myself down. I was fine. It wasn't like I was anywhere dangerous. I was on a dance floor, in the most exclusive nightclub in Paris. People lined up all night in the freezing cold for even a chance... see more

Although I tend to jump around a bit in this column, I do try to present complete sets consecutively. This installment marks the grand finale of the Kustom Kulture stencil set of Artool's latest releases: Aces n' Eights, Pistons n' Plugs, and Lucky 7. This series is inspired by the hot-rod artwork of Ed "Big Daddy†Roth, Larry Watson, Robert Williams, Von Dutch, and the like who have defined the kustom kulture that has so skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. I wish to dedicate this series to their legacy and continued influence on a new generation of artists. Well, since it's pointless to try and describe them in writing alone, I'll just start paintin' with 'em!
Step 1:
I really like the way I've been doing the separated graphic on the panels the past couple of articles, so I decided to keep it up. This time however, I painted a tribal graphic instead of a flame. Laying out designs on small panels is a great way to discover new styles and shapes, and it only costs a roll of tape.
Step 2:
With the graphic masked off, I airbrushed a layer of House of Kolor's HoK BC-26 white with an Iwata TR-1 trigger gun, applied in a gradated pattern to create a slight smoke effect throughout. This provides a good background. Light on the right, and darker on the left to do the stenciling over.
Step 3:
Aces n' Eights is probably the easiest of the three to work with. By just moving the stencil and flipping it around achieves the illusion of a very random design that took hours to lay-out and cut. Of course, we know different. . . heheheh. All you have to do is position it, mask the edges, spray some black, and you have the cards.
Step 4:
Using the edge of the same stencil I airbrushed the dropshadows with an Iwata CS to add some depth to the cards.
Step 5:
With Pistons n' Plugs, I airbrushed a few of the stylized pistons, flames, plugs, and wrenches into the piece with white. These last two stencils are what I call "icon†stencils. You can use them to create cool images to detail later, or as background noise to your kustom kulture design.
Step 6:
Switching to Lucky 7, I continued to layer in the icons with the HoK white. The spider webs make a perfect corner design for any art piece.
Step 7:
I wanted the panel to have an even spacing and random placement of icons throughout the open area. The different sizes of plugs, V-8 symbols, flames, dice, et al, work perfectly for this. Don't forget that all of these icons add a very hip kustom kulture pattern to your graphics or mural work.
Step 8:
I came back with the same white to fill in some of the positive areas of the designs. The dice, pistons, and wrenches look cool right from the stencil, but a little filler gives them some body.
Step 9:
Using black in the Eclipse CS, I detailed and defined the white icons. This little extra attention to detail gives the stencil images that freehand look. Amazing what a little freehand airbrushing can do to your stencils, and what a few stencils can do to the time it takes to create a design!
Step 10:
In this step, I brought back the dice and airbrushed some of the furry edges. Perhaps the nicest thing about stencils is that you can always reposition them over the design with the identical image to spray through. This is definitely convenient when going back and forth with black and white in your rendering.
Step 11:
The final, and favorite part of any automotive graphic is the unmasking. Normally, I would pinstripe the separating graphic, but in this case I kinda liked the bare black and white edge. FINAL: Well, there you have it: the final three installments in stencils can substantially reduce your work load and elevate your art to the next level. I never advocate stencils as a replacement to your creativity, or as a permanent alternative to freehand airbrushing, but merely as a tool to bridge your creativity and maximize your efficiency. So, grab your airbrush and your favorite stencil and get to work!

You know those bands – the ones who play songs that make you feel good inside from the moment you first hear them? The harmonies are tight, the lyrics are soulful and the music just makes you want to rock out? Yep – that's Parachute.
Formed while attending the University of Virginia together, the band (then called Sparky's Flaw) busted onto the Charlottesville music scene with their feel-good sound – a blend of old-school and new with catchy melodies and driving rock anthems that make every note count. They developed quite a following while in college, and upon graduation in 2008 the band officially changed their name to Parachute and started non-stop touring to promote their debut album, Losing Sleep.
Parachute's soft and sweet ballad "She is Love" launched them into rotation on the radio, combined with their relentless touring schedule that introduced them to people around the world. And relentless is the right word – post-graduation, Parachute has toured with O.A.R., Switchfoot, Duffy, Matt Nathanson, Jon McLaughlin, 3 Doors Down, The Script, Kelly Clarkson, Secondhand Serenade, SafetySuit, Joe Brooks, Hot Chelle Rae and most recently the Plain White T's. Parachute even joined Kelly Clarkson again for her European tour throughout the U.K., Germany, The Netherlands and Denmark.
But all this exposure is just what the band wants. "If no one's going to listen, why even play?" asks Will Anderson, lead singer/songwriter/guitarist and piano player. In fact, as part of a campaign with Nivea, Parachute played at Times Square on New Year's Eve 2010 in front of more than one million people. Talk about exposure.
The band's album, The Way It Was, released in April, has impressed listeners with hits such as "Something to Believe In (Jeremiah)," "What I know," "American Secret," "Philadelphia" and "Kiss Me Slowly," which Anderson co-wrote with Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood.
"The joy for us is in winning people over with our music by getting in front of them any way possible," Says Anderson. "And have them spread the word to their friends."
So there you have it – your mission from Parachute. Start spreading the word!
You can preview and purchase "Something to Believe In," the first single from Parachute's new album here.

Iphone 3G slow after update to IOS4

Currently Being ModeratedJul 9, 2010 11:10 AM (in response to Jonty71)LOL... talk about forced upgrade scheme. People upgrading to IOS4 are unaware of the slow as molasses results. There should be a warning that IOS 4 will significantly slow down your 3G. Instead we get the "some features not available" message.
Great features, including the one that takes 30 seconds to just type 6 characters for text messaging. Nice.MBP 2.53 GHZ C2D, Mac OS X (10.6.1), iPhone 3G, 16GB - 20th Anniversary Mac ( I love this Machine )
Currently Being ModeratedJul 9, 2010 1:40 PM (in response to Xplorer77)I'm sorry, I didn't get a chance to read all 53,000 posts on this subject, but does anyone know when Apple is coming out with a patch or update to fix this horrible mess. I loved my 3G iPhone the way it was... it actually worked!
In the future, I will wait to read the forum before I update my iPhone, iPad, or iPod.3G iPhone, iOS 4

Currently Being ModeratedJul 9, 2010 2:13 PM (in response to Xplorer77)Well, 242 replies so far, not solved.
So the question is: WHEN will Apple release an official rollback for all iPhone 3G users to OS3. This is no support at all, it feels like I've just received a Microsoft product, that is released as final, but really is beta. Well in this case, OS4 shouldn't have been released at all for the iPhone 3GS it's so unstable.
Since this problem still isn't solved.iPhone 3G, iOS 4
Currently Being ModeratedJul 9, 2010 2:14 PM (in response to Xplorer77)Same here, everything is slower, I think apple is doing it to make us upgrade to 3gs or 4.

Currently Being ModeratedJul 9, 2010 2:53 PM (in response to hivoltage98)I can confirm this issue as per the other posts. My iPhone is also crawling after the upgrade.
I don't want to believe all the trash talk about the Apple mob coercing us into upgrading by "crippling" our phones. Surely this can't be a difficult problem to solve - just let us roll back to the old version until a technical fix is found or we choose to upgrade at our own pace?
Apple please help!iPhone, iOS 4

Currently Being ModeratedJul 9, 2010 6:45 PM (in response to Xplorer77)The first thing that needs to happen is Apple admitting there is a problem. We all know that this will likely take a while. When all hope is lost a mysterious 4.01 or 4.1 update will appear. I'm not holding my breath, but it will likely happen after I've made the upgrade to the iPhone 4!3G, iOS 4

Apple doesn't follow these forums. Please send your response to them as formal feedback. If the 50,000+ people who have viewed this thread had reported the problems they are having, it would be clear to Apple that there is a growing tsunami of customer dissatisfaction heaading their way.

Unfortunately there is no solution.
As i have posted elsewhere, I have had numerous conversations with Apple staff by phone, email and at two Apple Stores and, whilst they all admit to the problem, no one has a fix. One Apple Store member of staff told me his 3G is "slow as a slug with iOS4" but he didn't mind as he was getting an iPhone 4 the following week.
None of the suggested ideas re: resets, restores, close windows, etc., make the slightest difference. It also appears that the problem is worse on older 3G phones.
Apple have screwed up big time. They would have known about this from beta testing (if they didn't, then they should outsource their beta testing) but they chose not to inform the public.
It's atrocious and I expected better from them.
It's a sad commentary. I agree with you 100%. I wish I had the opportunity to simply replace my 3G with an iPhone 4. Unfortunately, I have over a year left on my contract, and my service provider doesn't even offer the new phone yet.MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPhone 3G (iOS 4.0)

Currently Being ModeratedJul 10, 2010 8:27 AM (in response to Xplorer77)I'm pretty sure all of you getting angry about iOS4 slowness on your 3G would have been equally annoyed if Apple hadn't made iOS4 available to the 3G. There would have been loads of comments about "forcing us to upgrade to iPhone 4" just like there are because it's slow.
Apple are damned if they do, damned if they don't. Personally I've noticed my 3G running slightly slower since iOS4, but I'm still glad I upgraded. I'm pretty sure most of the slowness issues will be sorted with 4.01 or whatever the next release is.iPhone 3G 16Gb, iOS 4, waiting for iPhone 4 in Portugal...

After being an Apple user since '84 it is very disappointing to have them leave us behind as "legacy" products less than 2 years after selling us the product.

Tempering valves(T/V) used with residential water heaters (W/H) - aka ( i believe ) Thermostatic mixing valves.
1. Their main function appears to be to protect from scalding, ( how often do first line of scald defence, residential w/h thermostats fail without isolating the gas/power?)
2. And protect against water borne diseases eg. Legionnaires Disease.
3. Legionnaires apparently thrives in w/h's at 105* to 115*F, and upping the temp to 140*F will kill the disease.
4. At 140* a t/v is required. Note, the cold blending water has not been "treated" at 140*, more likely, it's been warming in the vicinity of the extremely hot w/h . ie. dubious cold water by-passes the w/h and mixes in at the t/v.
5. What about mfr's warranties if the w/h is used at 140*F?
6. What about the extra fuel/power being used to obtain 140*?
7. There are, of course, other methods of disinfecting the system without using high temps.
8. At high temp's, increased scale will accumulate along with the usual, introduced silt and sediment. These particles might possibly disable the functioning of the t/v, even with filters and screens. Perhaps the screens will block with the larger particles and the t/v will req. frequent maintenance?
9. Extra isolators are req'd with a t/v - hence, more sod's law chance of one being left shut and the possible consequences.
Note: Just a few observations; i'm ignorant and curious, and would welcome criticism or further suggestions. Can anyone cite government stats for Legionnaire infections from residential w/h's?

Search is on for unique merchants, craftspeople to create WNY's most dynamic holiday shopping experience
With a goal of replicating the memorable shopping destinations of Europe's Christkindlmarkets and retail arcades, the Niagara Holiday Market today announced an open call and invitation for vendors and artisans for its spectacular, 37-day winter wonderland in Niagara Falls, NY this November and December.
"We're on a grand treasure hunt to find and recruit the most distinctive and inspired merchants for the holidays," related Mark Rivers, the event organizer. "This is not a carnival or a weekend street festival with funnel cakes. It is a world-class Market and event that is already attracting the very best retailers and artisans from the region and beyond. We expect to sell-out this opportunity for vendors."
A Vendor Row will be created along Old Falls Street, from 3rd
AvenueStreet to the State Park. It will feature approximately 80 vendors with a diverse merchandise selection including: apparel, footwear, one-of-a-kind household items, handcrafted gifts, photography, visual art, children's items, specialty foods and more. The items will be sold in a series of constructed booths, structures and buildings.
The Niagara Holiday Market, making its debut on November 25, will be the largest European-style holiday market and festival in the US. It will operate for 37 days thru January 1, 2012 along historic Old Falls Street in the Cataract City, and will be home to unique retail vendors, ice skating, winter outdoor activities, concerts, performances and family experiences.
Interested vendors can find information and apply via www.niagaramarket.com. The deadline for application is October 15, 2011.
A Vendor Concierge is available for assistance. Contact Erin Reedy 716.697.2736 or email@example.com.

Davie >Photographers > Ama Video & Photo Production
5200 S University Dr, Davie, FL | Directions 3332826.056500 -80.251886
Can not believe the comments I am reading. I am in the process of having my wedding done by AMA and could not be happier with the progress. For starters when I first met Alex and his staff at the Davie location they were nothing but professional. All my concerns were immediatley addresses. My groom and I hit a rough patch a few months ago when we lost his father. We had our Engagement shoot set up for that week. When I called to go over everything and see my options with the package I had purchased, They worked with me and rearranged some of the contents in my package to make sure I was not missing out. The photographers and staff created a Family friendly atmosphere, where the bride is the most important and priority. When my wedding wraps up on February 2nd of next month, I am confident I will be able to deliever the same message of overall satisfaction for this Company.
Watch out, they ruined out wedding, they will ruin yours – This company didn't show up for our wedding!!!! They didn't call to cancel or answer our calls the day of. I'm warning you, do not use. No point in suing, they won't show up in court and you will get a summary judgement on a deadbeat owner who has no money and works check by check. client to client. Heard others didn't get their photos for over a year and they came out horrible. What a duo, husband and wife rip off. Don't let them ruin your wedding dreams, find someone reliable and someone that actually shows up.
Best Studio in South Florida – I cant believe the comments here are even real. I have been using AMA for decades, and they have delivered every single time. They are extremely professional and the quality and the prices are incomparable. They did my first wedding and my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, and they were great. One more time I called them to do my second wedding and they did an excellent job too. The only thing I find that might be uncomfortable for some, is the turn around time for the wedding albums, but it is because of the processes involved: the designs, the selections, ect, but is worth it. Besides that, the quality is superb, the photogs and employees are very nice and patient. They pay attention to every detail and don't miss a thing. I'm very happy with the results. I will recommend them every time I have an opportunity. Thank you AMA!!!
Worst Company EVER. WATCH OUT – This company failed to show up at a friends wedding. We also met another couple which it took them over a year to get their video and photos. The photos came out horrible and no talent was offered at all. Be careful and watch out. They completely ruined these weddings for both couples.
Made Our Dreams A Reality!!! – You Have To Use Them, They are truly THE BEST!!!!!! We got married at Pier 66 and we went all out on flowers, decorations, and had a gorgeous gazebo done just for us like none I had ever seen. When it came to Photo and Video I wanted to make sure that the company that we hired wast the best so I asked a friend of mine and they had used AMA Photo and Video Productions .Then that weekend went to a bridal show and I saw this booth that had pictures and albums out of this world!!! Well I came to find out that it was AMA ,the same company my friend had used and I was going to call them that next week but once I found out it was them at the show I spoke to Danny , Alex and Erick and made an appointment for the following week. In between that appointment I had read some of the good and some of the bad reviews people had posted so I was a little concerned. Well, when I got to their office in Davie it really blew me and my Fiance away because this could not be the same folks that some of these people wrote negative reviews about because their office is as nice as they come and the way they treated us was very very professional. So I brought these concerns and I asked the owner Alex and from my experience , he was right. There are some folks that no matter what you do you will never please and their competition are haters and are writing bad things about them. He made me feel comfortable and even called three of his previous weekend brides and let me talk to them . They all raved about how Happy they were with their Photographer and Videographers so we booked them that evening. Let me tell you it was the best thing I ever did because My engagement pictures came out like if we were movie stars. The day of my Wedding Alex was my photographer and Erick was my Videographer and he even told my hair stylist how my hair would look the best. Also, we spent a lot of money on our decorations and flowers and they made sure to capture all those details plus more . The AMAZING!!!! pictures they took of both of us on the Pier top of Pier 66 were just out of this World. I highly recommend them to all my friends and who ever reads this make sure you go to their office and use them. them and my venue were the best!!! things of my wedding day.

The best wedding ever and that will last forever!!!!!!!! – well i dont know about that because i had my event done 11/11/11 it was the most beautiful night of our life's Joel and alex did my event and made it really special that night for me and promised me that i will have a amazing night and thanks to AMA for making my wedding came out really special
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – I heard from two friends that this company is all about setting the appointment, getting the money and then lights out. They are so nice in the beginning and then the service drops from that point on. I can't believe what they are doing, there are complaints about them everywhere, from the BBB, RIp OFF REPORT AND COMPLAINT BOARDS. This company should be shut down by the Florida Attorney General. They make you wait a year for photos or don't even show up for your event. That is F())(cking crazy. Shame on these people. If there are others, please make sure you state your complaint.
Thank You Very Much AMA Studio – I had a very nice experience with this company. Their prices are competitive, their quality is very good. They got to the wedding super early, very professional, both, the Photographer, Alex and Videographer, Erick were very nice, very patient. They took a lot of pictures, I got married in October and I already got my proof CD and put my order for the album. I'm very satisfied; I have seen their albums before: the friend that recommended them got hers and its beautiful, also her video. I'm sure mine is going to be amazing too. Thank you also to Alice, and Mary, in the office, returning my numerous calls; I know I was anxious to see my pictures, and I can tell you I'm very happy.

What could be better than bringing home one of your childhood favorite toys and sharing it with your children or grandchildren? That's what you can do with this replica of the original Colorforms Set that has 350 geometric pieces in a spiral book and playboards to put them on. Unlike all the licensed images that followed since 1951, this is a more open ended set that allows kids to create their own themes. There is a small insert with images that can be copied, but best of all, this is an invitation to explore and discover how shapes can be transformed into designs and less literal images from one's own imagination. It's also an art form with no messy residue and no right or wrong rules. Getting the pages started may call for some adult help, but playing with the shapes develops fine motor skills, dexterity, and creative thinking.

If you're looking for a game to reinforce color and shape concepts, Colorama is a strong choice. Roll the dice. If you get a circle and red--you need to place one of the red circles on the board. The game is over once the board is completed filled in. A good parent/child game or a game to be played cooperatively by a group of kids working on the same skills. Colorama will have a short term appeal - but when you're in that knowing and naming zone for colors and shapes, it provides a fun way to build your child's competence and confidence.

With all of the new versions of Monopoly that come and go, we felt it was important to honor the original. In our opinion, most of the electronic versions take away the fun of monopoly. Where's the fun if you're not the banker and responsible for giving the right amount of money back on a purchase? The "electronic banker" removes all of those great math skills from the game play. While it may take a bit longer to play, have your child be the banker.

First introduced to a generation of kids in 1988, Shark Attack is back! Our testers loved that the motorized shark moved around the board with the possibility of eating the fish (each player has a fish on the board). You need to roll the die to keep ahead of the shark. The last fish on the board wins! Rounds go pretty quickly. A fun game for kids 5 and up.

Crepe rubber puzzle boards. There is one 5 piece puzzle for each letter of the alphabet. Each board has an upper and lower case letter and an object that starts with that sound. There are a lot of Alphabet puzzles around, but these have cut out letters that give kids a 'feel' for the shape and direction of the letters.
SNAP IDEAS: Kids can trace the letters or use them for spelling out their names. When kids are learning letters it's fun to put three in a bag and have child feel inside without looking. Can she pull out the letter "T" or one that says "M-m-m-m."
