24 year old woman | Corinth, TX, USA | Seeking men 22-35 within 15 miles of Denton, TX
That was beautiful. Was that James Joyce?
I'm a bubbly, humorous girl who can take a hit on the chin with a grin and tries not to let the bad times cloud my ride of life. I'm looking for someone who can "keep up" with me. I've been told, maybe more often than I'm comfortable with, that I'm a "challenge" because I want everything and I want it now. I'm not one to sit back and let things come to me, I get up and take it, which is why some can't keep up. That's my disclaimer. I'm sarcastic and VERY quick witted - that's another thing I want someone to be able to keep up with! I'm a southern belle wrapped in a mud and truck loving package, so I'd just like someone to appreciate it all. My faith is important to me and I need it to be important to the other person. I'm a strong woman with defined beliefs and opinions, so if you're looking for "meek and submissive", I'm not your girl ;) I stand next to someone, not in front of or behind. Again, "challenging" for some. I'm a giver more than I am a taker, and I don't regret that about myself and I also know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. Call me a "Jane of All Trades" :) Conversation is also very important to me, I consider it a "make it or break it" if someone doesn't find conversation as appealing as I do. I'm looking for someone who's going to have the same mindset as me in those aspects. All I ask is that you appreciate what I bring to the table, enjoy spontaneous road trips and can't imagine being anywhere but underneath a Texas sky. :) Overall, I'm just a happy person, I find the beauty and positive in everything and never look back. Why would you want to live life any other way?

For the longest time, I had no idea when I would be graduating.
I had no clue what year I was in and at times I wasn't sure if classes were even part of my plan.
What I do know is that in the gloomy job market college graduates face, I have a chance to avoid the typical employment woes of many grads.
I am part of the co-operative (or "co-op") education world, an increasingly sought-out solution in higher education to transition students to the workplace. In it, students alternate between the classroom and the workplace.
On Wednesday, September 25th the Seattle Campus hosted a presentation as part of our Local Leaders, Global Impact speaker series. The topic of the event was "Matching Industry Growth with Sustainable Development: The New Tech Challenge". Some back round on the topic:
"The Puget Sound tech sector is exploding. Since the '90s, our information technology sector created two-thirds of Washington's job growth, which now represents 27 percent of all jobs in the state, mostly in the Puget Sound area. At the same time, cities are striving to achieve aggressive sustainability goals. With this growth driving our real estate market, are our developments and land use policies meeting the demands of this vital sector in ways that help us achieve our climate goals?"
The presentation featured four panelists representing academia, the public and private sector. The moderator for the event was Dr. Joan Fitzgerald. Dr. Fitzgerald is professor and interim dean of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs at Northeastern University. Her third book, Emerald Cities: Urban Sustainability and Economic Development (Oxford Univ. Press, 2010), examines how cities are creating economic development opportunities in several green sectors and discusses the state and national policy needed to support these efforts.
The first presenter was Kathleen Owens, President and General Manager of the Attachmate Business Unit of Attachmate. She discussed her companies recent decision to relocate to a downtown office building. Attachmate is part of a new trend where companies are moving their headquarters to downtown office spaces as opposed to sprawling suburban developments. One of the most unique aspects about the adaptation was managing employee concerns and perspectives.
The next presenter was Greg Johnson, President of Wright Runstad & Company. Johnson talked about The Spring District, an "ecodistrict" in Bellevue consisting of a mix of commercial and residential properties. From The Spring District website, "We're creating a neighborhood that draws people in, just to be, sharing space with all the other people who are drawn to it too." The development will be constructed in three phases with an estimated completion date in 2026. Learn more about The Spring District and watch a great video here.
The final presenter was Hilary Franz, CEO of Futurewise. From their website "Futurewise works with communities across Washington State to save farms and forests, protect rivers and coasts, and build strong cities and towns for all." Franz talked about sustainable policy and civic engagement. Prior to joining Futurewise, Franz represented local governments, non-profit organizations, and citizen groups on a broad range of land use planning and policy issues.
After the presentation members of the audience asked questions and got into some interesting discussions about sustainable urban development with the panelists.

The indoor quad at the Curry Student Center had an international feel on Thursday night as students who have recently returned from overseas co-ops convened to share their experiences.
Northeastern's inaugural International Co-op Fair gave about 30 co-op students the chance to tell their stories to peers considering experiential learning in a foreign country.
As part of its mission to prepare students for future success, Northeastern combines classroom learning with real-world experience in some 93 countries worldwide. About 300 students are currently on international co-op, a figure that international co-op director Ketty Rosenfeld expects to grow.
It's important to stay on top of your professional game to navigate the Seattle business world. Join us for a discussion at the new Northeastern-Seattle campus where our panelists will offer up advice for your next career steps.

On Tuesday, September 10 Northeastern welcomed employers to campus for a presentation and discussion on Employer Branding. Representatives from a variety of organizations attended the event such as CH2M Hill, Seattle City Light, and Fluke. Employer branding is the process of establishing an organization as a great place to work. The goal of employer branding is to attract, engage and retain talented candidates and employees. Employee turnover is becoming increasingly expensive and retention can reduce costs. The importance of Employer Branding started in the 90's, but had become more relevant about 15 years ago, and now it is a key component of any organizations Human Resources and employee communications functions.
There were two presentations, one given by Kortney Kutsop, the Senior Account Director of Universum. Kortney gave some compelling statistics about what current students and what potential employees are looking for in an employer from the 2013 America's Ideal Employers Survey. Employees are looking for stability within their position. This data marked a large change from previous years where characteristics such as challenging, unique and enjoyable ranked higher.
David Lee, Global Employer Brand Leader at Amazon and former consultant talked about the use of games to recruit employees; games get people excited and encourages involvement. Lee used games as part of the Go Army campaign by the U.S. Army. The campaign heavily utilized social media and advertising to encourage people to join the Army. Lee even played a few games with the audience and it was clear that is was effective at engaging participants. Lee also spoke about the benefits of differentiation between employer branding and consumer branding.
One participant J. Paul Blake, Senior Management Consultant at CH2M Hill, found the presentation very informative and interesting, he "enjoyed the various ways that employees and potential employees learn about companies via their website, social media, and through the rest of their online presence"

The Seattle Campus is running hybrid classes this fall for our MS Computer Science and MS Computer Science ALIGN students. Last week we welcomed new and returning students to a series of social events and orientation presentations. Over 40 students attended all the events in total.
The orientation activities included:
There were also social events that the campus hosted including:
Kevin Bell is the Executive Director for Online Curriculum Development and Deployment at the College of Professional Studies (CPS). Bell leads Northeastern University's efforts toward the goal of high-quality, professional online programs based on industry and academic standards.
Bell's heads the team at Northeastern within CPS that aims to make online programs challenging and engaging while increasing the means by which students retain and internalize information and competencies. Bell's team works with Northeastern faculty and deans to adapt programs to an online format.
Northeastern has been a pioneer in web-based delivery of programs since 1998. Northeastern offers 51 online degree programs across a wide range of disciplines and in 48 states. There are currently 10,000 online and hybrid students across 8 colleges.
The U.S. Department of Education in 2010 completed a study titled "Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online" that combined more than a thousand previous studies into one report. One key finding was the fact that students who took all or part of their course online performed better on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face-to-face instruction. As Bell outlined though, thoughtful course design and student focus and effort are still much-needed components.
The Northeastern online model takes into account elements of cognitive science – a field attempting to understand how the human brain assimilates and stores information. Bell's team's goal is to develop a model that dramatically increases the efficiency and effectiveness of students' learning, memory, and application of concepts.
Northeastern is piloting and pioneering innovative work in adaptive learning. Using new technologies and industry partners, the team at Northeastern are leveraging current computing power to adapt the presentation of educational material according to individual student learning needs, as indicated by early responses to questions and tasks. In an adaptive system, learners study carefully sized "chunks" of information before checking their understanding through interactive tests. The pace of a student's progress through materials can be moderated based on their performance with these low-stress, evaluative but not evaluated tests. Students needing further practice can be directed to specific topics to review – confirming that the solid foundations of knowledge are in place before they progress to the next challenge.
Bell's team is also using data analytics to improve courses and delivery techniques. Student, and faculty, behavioral data is reviewed and shared in order to propagate and encourage behaviors that are typical of successful participants. Data about the class in general is also sent back to curriculum designers for evaluation and discussion with faculty to in a "continuing improvement" model for materials and course content. Through these means, online education is moving from "One size fits all" to "Individualized Instruction", with learning captured and confirmed rather than simply assumed based on a form of attendance and persistence beyond course end dates.
Bell's team is also focused on developing new forms of Online Experiential Learning (OEL), based on the cornerstone of the Northeastern educational model. Most deliverables are real world based, including on occasion efforts to include unique circumstances and environment changes, as might happen in the real world. As Bell explained, often the essential ability gleaned from "experiential" is the experience developed to abstract and reapply knowledge and strategies to many, diverse situations as opposed to rote learning with one fixed set of rules.
Finally the group discussed criteria that promote student success in online learning. The main elements discussed by the group were:

I was there all day....from the first practice to the end of the the last moto. I have no idea what it looked like on TV, but I'll be honest, it was pretty darn cool.
Yes, like with all things, there could be some improvements, but in person, this thing was absolutely NO supercross track like so many people were saying before seeing it. It was big, long, and a suprising amount of elevation changes (relatively speaking) for what I was originally thinking. They hauled in a ridiculous amount of dirt and had some big "dragon's backs", off-cambers, huge step-ups, etc.
As for the spectating, I'm still covered in dirt. TV cameras probably didn't show it, but there were plenty of spots where you could get very close to the action if you wanted. Yes, I admit....not as close as you can at other outdoor national tracks and that is kind of a shame. Because it was built on the infield of the car racing track, there were a lot of barriers. But, in fairness, you could get close to the action if you moved around.....but still not as much as I would have liked. They needed some tunnels or something to get spectators on the interior of the track in some places.
As for the dirt......all of the dirt in that valley (which is actually about 30 miles west of Salt Lake City) is what I like to call moon dirt. It's horrible and poofy. But.....they used that for the foundation of the track and then they brought in loads and loads of mulchy stuff for the top, and then they had hydro-seeded all the sides of the jumps. Honestly, it was waaaay better than I thought. When I saw videos of the track from a few months ago, I thought this thing was going to be a horrible dusty mess.
It could have been better. They needed more water trucks. But the thing that probably didn't come across in TV is that there were large thunderstorms all around the entire valley and at the times the wind was really blowing so it was drying it out horribly.....and the areas outside of the track that were that "moon dirt" I was referring to, were kicking up lots of dust.
It wasn't perfect, but it was tons of fun, and definitely better than what I had seen and read about before I got there. I'll have to watch the TV Broadcast to see it from an "outsiders" perspective, but for someone who was there in person, it was a great event and I was pleasantly surprised at the track.
Congrats to Villo and Tomac on the wins. They were on another level today (although the best racing by far was in the 250 class....especially between Baggett and Roczen).
Here are a few photos I took today:

Life's uncertain...eat dessert first
I'm not one for writing about myself, but I'll give this a shot. I'm here to find a woman that I'm capable of having a conversation with. I like to go out and meet people in person, but the bar scene makes it difficult to really get to know someone. I work in sales, so I'm pretty personable and capable of getting along with anyone. My career is very important to me and I work hard to keep growing. I keep active with work, working out, and still love playing any and all sports. Anything from baseball to snowboarding. I can be serious when the situation calls for it, but I like to not take myself too seriously. Humor is the best medicine. I consider myself pretty sarcastic and would like someone who can take a joke, as well as give it right back. I have a close group of friends who are like family to me, which is extremely important. I love anything outdoors, especially taking the pooch for long walks. The beach is my one of my all-time favorite places. I have a beach house in Avalon, where I spend my weekends relaxing after a long work week, and surfing is the ultimate way to relax. I love traveling in general and just spent some time in Boston, New Orleans, London, and even spend some time in the mid west this summer. I'm just looking for an educated, independent woman who can be comfortable being herself and of course put up with my excessive movie quoting! Anything else you want to know, feel free to ask..

Advertising A Business oriented Household Does Not Have To Be Boring
When selling or buying commercial real estate, make sure that everything is in order. No matter how easy you think it is, you may miss out on something you did not think about. This article can shed more light on this subject. Collect all of your financial paperwork, including bank statements and proof of income, before you begin searching for a property. Without them, lenders can't know how well you manage your finances, making it less likely that you will get the funds you need. When considering a commercial real estate property to purchase, think about how the neighborhood will do in ten or twenty years, or an even longer period of time. You'll want to invest for the long-term to ensure that you continue to have a strong income from any location you buy. If you think the neighborhood will only be hot for a few years, skip it. It is advisable to go bigger when investing money pertaining to commercial real estate. If you were considering purchasing a building that has ten units, keep in mind that it does not involve that much more work to manage 75 units instead. Smaller buildings must still have commercial Keep Scanning More »

Remember Me
We peered across the street to see the masses beginning to gather in front of The Palladium. They were hunched together and standing in line, but seemed to be very excited about The Disco Biscuits show they were about to see. As we walked up Main Street I thought to myself, "How many of those folks have really even listened to much Jiggle?" I knew their show was gonna be great, but I was extremely psyched for the musical performance I was about to experience in a much smaller and intimate setting. We turned up Pleasant St. and walked up the little frozen hill until we came to the Tammany Club.
Tammany is a classic "Wistah Baah." The bar is along the wall on the right, while the left side is divided from the right by another wall with some open spaces in it. There are pool tables on the left and there is a dance floor on the right, just in front of the small stage. The stage was decked out in streamers, festive balloons, a Happy New Year sign, a strange Yoda alien laying behind the keyboards, and a large green alien hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the stage. There were also little glow lights wrapped around the guitar player, Gary Backstrom's, mike stand that lit on and off randomly throughout the show. The crowd started to really fill in by 9:30pm just as Jiggle took the stage.
The first set kicked in at about the same time as my "good feelings." The jack-n-cokes had been going down smoothly all night and served to accent my psychedelic mood perfectly. Tonight was about music, ritual, and celebration. I was feeling good, others looked like they were feeling good, and the band definitely seemed to be feeling good. "Good," I thought. "Everyone is good."
I smiled as the band started up their acoustic mini-set (approx. 30 minutes long). It was a nice little warm up set that stretched a fairly broad range. An old timey sounding number, Who's That Knockin'? opened up the set and was a fun little upbeat ditty. Then the band went on to play some covers like Hot To Go by Lyle Lovett, Water of Love by Dire Straits and Dire Wolf by the Dead. After a beautifully played old-school Jiggle original called Break the Light that is very mellow but builds to a great melodic jam and climax, they ended things off with the old bluegrass standard Salty Dog, sung by bassist Chris Q. This very fast song had the crowd shakin' their hips quite a bit and everyone cheered as the short set ended.
Smiles and laughter pretty much describe the time between the first and second set. It seemed that everyone either knew each other or were happily meeting and greeting one another. The happy family vibe was heavy in the air. As the band took the stage at a little after 10:00pm, the now packed house were ready to groove. The band kicked it in with a relatively old Jiggle classic called Easy Street, which reflects the feelings of a hard-working small band very well. The band then went through a couple of shorter numbers. Another bluegrass tune presumably left over from the first set led to a very concise melody called Really Should Know, written by keyboardist Paul Wolstencroft. This second of the shorter tunes is one of my favorites. It is relatively new and captures something special with its passionate vocals and interesting flow.
These tunes led into the jam-centered tune, Reflection. The song has a vocal section at the beginning but then kicks in to a killer trance like jam that just seemed to be getting farther and farther out there on this night. Greg Vasso's drumming was syncing up well with the percussion playing of Jiggle's newest member, Miguel Pujado. 'Pujats,' as he is known to some, brings quite a breath of fresh energy to the band. He was set up with some congas, bongos, and various cymbals. As this long and furiously jammed song started to wind down, the band segued into their song Everything, which wisely reminds us that "everything you do comes back to you." The heat from the crowd was starting to even out as Jiggle slammed into the set closer Lost and Found. This song just flat out rocked. There were bodies moving frantically as beer suds and sweat drops flew here and there. If the full house was happy at the end of the first set, they were absolutely ecstatic now. Two sets down, one great big New Year set left to go!!
As the clock ticked closer and closer to midnight we all talked and drank. The tension built slowly as 2001 was about to peer its head around the corner of last year. Our good feelings surged as the band took the stage at about ten minutes until midnight. The invisible streams of energy were being flung around by the band and everyone in attendance as the beginning notes to Walk Right Out rang out. This intensely jammin' opener wailed, plain and simple. Just as the jam was getting to incomprehensible levels, the band stopped abruptly and started the New Year's count down in unison. The obligatory kisses, hugs, and champagne were bandied about freely. A happy new year, indeed! Just as we seemed to be slightly beginning our decent out of this joyous other-worldliness, the band kicked into the song Fine Line. Everyone's attention snapped back to the stage as Jiggle fiercely played through their disco staple.
Boy in the Bubble? Huh? What was happening? Somehow Fine Line slowly evolved into Paul Simon's Boy in the Bubble, which quickly reminded me that Jiggle had covered the entire Graceland album this past summer at Berkfest. I was happy to get a little taste of it and they really ripped through an impressive and faithful interpretation of the tune with some added Jiggle flavor. This went back into Fine Line for a rollicking disco climax. Whew! After a few tunes the band played a very nice version of the old Jiggle classic Invisible. The crowd was basically a throbbing mass at this point. It was about 1:00am and people were passing various beverages and smokables to and fro. We all moved as one as the band pounded out some very high-energy music.
What we didn't know, however, was that we were only now approaching the best part of the show. A slightly shaky Oye Como Va was great to hear as Pujado's playing added the percussive flavor this tune calls for. Next was an original song called Turn Myself Back Home. Maybe Jiggle was playing it as a nod to the fact they were in Tucson, AZ for last year's big New Year's celebration? As I looked around the room to see a swirl of smiling faces and people in their various groove trances, I seemed to remember thinking about the song Terrapin Station. Just as the thought entered my mind, I turned around towards the stage as the band played the opening chords to that very song. The very end part slowed down to nothing and then came thundering back in a sweet ebb and flow of musical energy. Then out of nowhere they start into Santana's Black Magic Woman. It rocked. Pujado was going absolutely crazy as he banged away on an extended solo. Bass player Chris Q was leaning back and smiling with his eyes closed as Gary shredded away on the guitar like a mad man. The entire thing peaked wonderfully. Very nice stuff!
We cheered for more and were treated to a double encore at about 2:00am. First was a personal favorite of mine, the Jiggle original and straight ahead rocker Wastin' Time. Then they closed the night with a look back on the year. Good Times Bad Times seemed to sum it all up very nicely. It rocked even harder than the first encore and inspired me to try and have a music filled 2001. As the set ended and the lights came on, the happy faces of the crowd had a new feature to them. They also looked tired now. We all had had quite a workout. It had been a serious celebration. We milled about and said our good byes. Eventually, we had to go out into the bitter cold Worcester night. "I can't wait to see them again," I thought as we drove back to our hotel through the frozen darkness.

And with that, the district's highly contentious anti-homophobia Policy 5.45 was passed with minor revisions, including its new title, Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity, to the hearty applause of its supporters in the room.
"I'm very, very happy we've passed this," says Travon Hart, president of the gay-straight alliance at Burnaby's Cariboo Hill Secondary School. "I do experience all the youth who come to me from my school, and other schools even. They tell me how they've been bullied and everything, and I don't want it to happen anymore."
More than an hour before the vote, some 400 students, queers and their allies brought a Pride-like atmosphere to the grounds of the Burnaby School Board office, waving pro-5.45 placards and singing and dancing to gay anthems like "YMCA," ABBA's "Dancing Queen" and Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance," aided and abetted by David C Jones and queer comedy troupe Tops and Bottoms.
The festive crowd had dwindled considerably by the time the outcome of the vote was announced, but those who waited around outside broke into exuberant cheers when the verdict was announced.
"I basically stand here with mixed emotions," long-time Burnaby resident and 5.45 supporter Shahraz Kassam told Xtra following the vote. "I'm, of course, celebrating with everybody here that we have passed this monumental school policy."
But he says he's "saddened" that "we had to fight for this."
"To be in a country like Canada where we actually had to stand up against protesters against being a gay kid, that's sad."
Kassam says he was shocked when he first saw 200 people with signs opposing the policy at a school board meeting in May. "It was surreal. I felt like I'm in the Bible Belt in America. It was like, 'Oh my God, is this Burnaby?'"
Parent Heather Leung, one of the few policy opponents to show up at the meeting, says she's disappointed with the school board vote.
"I am here to witness the darkest day of the Burnaby School Board history," Leung told Xtra after the vote. "It is an irresponsible act to pass this policy. Administration regulation and strategy in this policy, it opens a big window for the pro-gay community to recruit, recruit, recruit our children into their camp. In the meantime, they ignore the health risks behind it and the medical expense burden in this country.
"I urge the other districts, other parents to keep a close eye to their school boards when they are drafting a similar policy," Leung warns. "Don't let them disguise as angel of lights but they're doing something else."
Prior to the vote, trustee Ron Burton said he was "somewhat disturbed" by the controversy around the policy. He hopes Burnaby residents learn to accept the diversity of their community. "I think what we want to do is have everybody accept the differences - the same way we accepted the differences in different ethnics - we need to accept the difference in people's different sexuality, and learn and live with them."
Burton referred to the 2001 murder of Aaron Webster, noting that it was Burnaby students who went to Stanley Park "for no other reason" than to beat up a gay man.
"They killed him; one child was 17. Maybe if we had this policy in place when he was young, he wouldn't have thought he had the need to do that."
"I'm glad it's over, that's for sure," trustee Gary Wong says. "I'd like to see us move forward, and certainly if there's any concerns that parents still have, that we can work towards addressing those concerns," he adds, noting that some of those concerns "were really misplaced."
The problem of homophobia "has not gone away," he says. "The problem is there, the problem must be addressed, and addressed proactively, and that certainly is what the law says. That's what is morally right for us to be doing."
Wong says he heard about the petition the anti-5.45 group submitted to the premier's office on June 14, but he says he doesn't know what the government plans to do.
"We are following the curriculum and the outcomes that are prescribed by the Ministry of Education."
"I'm thrilled," says Trevor Ritchie, a former Burnaby student. "We've had two years of discussion on this, two years of meetings and then we had 14 weeks of more public meetings. I think there's been enough time, enough discussion that we really needed this policy.
"As trustee Burton mentioned inside, 10 years ago this policy could have prevented a murder. Since then, we don't know how much has been done and how much could have been prevented."

These colorful bunnies have been hard to find for a while. This is an old favorite toy for filling and dumping, banging together and eventually connecting in long rows or other funny stacks. They are easy to grab hold of and put together or pull apart. The nine-piece set has six bunnies in six colors and three connectors. 1 & up.
The company has signed a verification form complying with our safety requirements. We did not independently test this toy in a lab. This product has been discontinued.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2009.
Toddlers like toys with multiple pieces and these six colorful star shapes are challenging for little hands to put together and pull apart. There may be a short learning curve for the putting together action, but these big plastic pieces they have no right and wrong order. These not only help build motor skills, they can help knowing and naming color words and simple counting. 1 & up.
The company has signed a verification form complying with our safety requirements. We did not independently test this toy in a lab.

Happy to see this Platinum Award winner back in the market! Little hands can easily activate the spinners on this rattling activity toy that's ideal for two-handed investigations. There's a ratchet dial on one side, a reflection bead chamber on the other side, and in the center there's a small spinning mirror, big egg-shaped beads, and a barrel for developing the use of individual fingers and as a colorful rolling toy for small social games. We have not received safety verification for this product and we have not tested it in an independent lab.
Age: Infants. Award Year: 2001.
This innovative art material is great for travel as well as home because the chunky markers are colorless and won't stain anything. Best of all, they have a magic quality-they turn color as kids draw on the special paper. This comes with coloring books that keep color inside the lines, but we prefer the open-ended paper that kids can use any way they like. 2 & up.
SNAP INFO: There's something magical about these markers with colorless tips that turn to true colors when used on special paper. A great choice for encouraging kids to develop the eye hand skills they need for writing. Activity: Use a crayon or regular marker to make dots kids can connect with the special markers. Draw dots to form letters, numbers, or pictures.

This play mat remains our favorite with two arches and dangly toys baby can gaze and eventually bat at. It gets high marks for keeping baby entertained. We prefer this design to the classic plastic activity gyms. Available in high-contrast black, white, and red version. Not for babies who are beginning to pull themselves up. Deluxe version is slightly larger.
SNAP INFO: This soft fabric playmat with dangly toys on soft arches comes in a variety of choices. For bold visual graphics select the black. white and red version. Easy to fold and carry along, the deluxe version is larger than most, a plus for bigger babies who may not be on the move, but ready to reach out and activate things. Like all playmats, this is to be used only with supervision and is not intended for babies who are pulling themselves up. Adaptation: Babies stop noticing toys that are always in their sight- just as you stop noticing a vase that's always in the same place. Change the soft danglies positions or substitute others to add visual interest.

Glad to see this line back in the market place. We awarded the collection a Platinum Award in 2000. We're now adding them to our Blue Chip Classics award winners. What we wrote in 2000: We were really impressed with this new but classic-looking line of baby toys, crafted of sturdy primary-colored plastics. An Activity Cube for little fingers to activate has a mirror, squeaker, roller and spinning ball. The Gripper Ball has four easy-to-grab rounded handles and a see-through hourglass in the middle with beads that roll from side to side. Also highly recommended: Triangle Rings, Abacus Rings, Roller Rattle Ball ($5 each) with a jolly sound, and Reflector Rattle ($16) with colorful marbles that look almost liquid as they spin around a mirrored triangular well.
SNAP INFO: To develop two-handed play, kids need a variety of manipulatives with interesting payoffs. Tolo's Activity Cube has a mirror, squeaker, roller, and spinning ball for little fingers to activate. The Gripper Ball has four easy-to-grab rounded handles and a see-through hourglass in the middle with beads that roll from side to side. New for 2000, Play Triangle with spinning mirror and big beads.

Newly updated with bright graphics, this fabric-covered wedge with a mirror for baby to peer into is ideal for tummy time play. Covered in eye-grabbing orange with multi-colored piping. The unbreakable safety mirror in a soft fabric frame can be removed and used separately. Birst & up.

A new addition to our Blue Chip Award list. Remains one of our favorite toys, ever. Here's what we wrote in 2000: One of the most innovative toys of the year! We were skeptical about such an expensive musical toy for kids-that was, until we played it! Imagine five colored plastic blocks each side with a geometric shape and representing a different sound. Match the shapes or play them in random order -there's no right or wrong way. Push on the blocks to play musical phrases! What sets this toy apart is the quality of the sound: woodwinds, trumpets, percussion. Comes with "Mozart's Night Music" cartridge. Bring home the "Rhythms of the World" cartridge right away. The new Disney music cartridges are not recommended since they produce a disconcerting disconnected effect so that songs do not make sense. We also found that the new Discovery Block, a big fabric block with peek-a-boo surprises was overly loud, frenetic, and too didactic. Teaching concepts such as "hexagon" to toddlers who are just learning to speak seems out of sync and not especially playful! 2 & up.
snap info: Want a rewarding tool for developing matching skills? Color concepts? Cause and effect? It's all here, plus great sound quality! Players touch blocks to activate a musical phrase or rhythm. Shapes on the blocks determine what instrument you'll hear. It's fun to mix up the shapes on the blocks for a variety of sounds. Kids with visual disabilities can "read" raised symbols on the blocks. Pricey but one of the most innovative toys we've found for kids with or without disabilities. New for 2000, update with extra cartridges ($19.99 each) of Bach, Jazz or Rhythms; a Cyber Cartridge ($49.99) downloads music from the internet.
Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2000. Click here to purchase the product on Amazon.com.
The ultimate classic ride-in toy comes with a fun "ignition switch". We love that the front wheels really turn so that kids can steer in any direction. Many wheel toys have surprisingly lost that feature. Happily it's also done in gender free colors so that it can be enjoyed by everyone. More recently the company produced a pink vehicle for those that need their vehicle genderized. We [refer the yellow and red vehicle that can be passed along from brothers to sisters and between cousins of both genders.
