John A. Ulizio, U.S. Silica's chief executive, said that General Chemical, which operates primarily out of New Jersey, will merge with U.S. Silica, and the corporate functions of U.S. Silica will likely be transferred to General Chemical.
About 80 are employed at the Berkeley Springs plant location, with about 55 of them assigned to the corporate offices.
General Chemical and U.S. Silica are owned by Harbinger.
In a wild four months of buyouts at the Berkeley Springs plant, U.S. Silica, which had been owned by CCMP in New York City, was purchased by Harvest Partners during the summer. Then, just more than two months later, Harvest Partners announced it had signed a definitive agreement to sell U.S. Silica to an affiliate of Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I Ltd. and Harbinger Capital Partners, collectively known as Harbinger.
Next week, Ulizio said, consultants will travel to U.S. Silica to try to come up with an "integration plan." This plan will help determine what functions will continue at the Berkeley Springs plant, which will move to New Jersey, and which will be eliminated.
"There will be severance packages ... and outplacement assistance (for those who no longer will be employed at U.S. Silica)," Ulizio said.
Town of Bath Mayor Susan Webster said she learned late last week that the corporate offices may relocate out of state.
"We would rather have them stay here," Webster said.
The mayor said she heard plant operations would continue, however, in Berkeley Springs.
Morgan County Economic Development Authority member and the county's administrator Bill Clark said that news of the corporate office closure caused "great concern."
In a prior interview about U.S. Silica, Ulizio noted that the plants mine between $150 to $200 million worth of sand each year. The company actually mines, processes and sells unground, ground and fine ground silica, aplite and calcined kaolin clay. Glass manufacturers are the primary purchasers of U.S. Silica's sand. Sand is the basic raw material for the manufacturing of glass.
According to Harbinger's Web site, as of June 1, Harbinger Capital Partners was managing in excess of $8.7 billion through two complementary strategies: Harbinger Capital Partners Fund I, which focuses on restructurings, turnarounds, liquidations, event-driven situations, capital structure arbitrage and short sales of securities and frequently co-invests with Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, which focuses on longer term, control-oriented and frequently less liquid, distressed investments.
The description further indicates that Harbinger consists of "disciplined, value investors with an emphasis on intensive credit research. Our focus is on middle market companies that tend to be misunderstood or under-researched by the market."
According to The Deal.com, Harvest Partners LLC flipped U.S. Silica to Harbinger Capital Partners, a New York hedge fund, after owning the company that produces industrial sand, for about 70 days.
Michael DeFlorio, a Harvest senior managing director, said U.S. Silica was sold "for just shy of $300 million," according to an online article by Luisa Beltran.
According to the report, "The original auction of U.S. Silica began in early 2007, with Wachovia Securities running the process. Both Harvest and Harbinger were bidders."
Harvest Partners made "2 to 3 times its initial investment," the article noted.
According to the report, the New York-based firm bought U.S. Silica in early August for slightly more than $200 million.
"John Ulizio, U.S. Silica's CEO, said he was surprised by the rapid sale — especially since CCMP Capital Advisors LLP (the former J.P Morgan Partners LP) had owned the company for more than 11 years before Harvest bought it," Beltran wrote.
U.S. Silica has produced industrial silica sand for more than 90 years. U.S. Silica initially was formed in the mid-1980s when Pennsylvania Glass Sand Corp. and Ottawa Silica Co. combined.
Besides the Berkeley plant and headquarters in Berkeley Springs, U.S. Silica has 13 plant operations in Columbia, S.C.; Dubberly, La.; Hurtsboro, Ala.; Jackson, Tenn.; Kosse, Texas; Mapleton, Pa.; Mauricetown, N.J.; Mill Creek, Okla.; Montpelier, Va.; Newport, N.J.; Ottawa, Ill.; Pacific, Mo., and Rockwood, Mich.
While silica is primarily mined at the plants, aplite and kaolin is mined at the plants in Montpelier, Va., and Kosse, Texas, respectively.
With employees from around the quad-state area, U.S. Silica is one of the largest private employers in Morgan County. Several hundred were employed at the mining operations plant over the years, but advances in technology have caused that number to shrink.

Historical Traveler Reviews Courtyard by Marriott Baltimore Downtown / Inner Harbor
Great stay, great location
We had a great stay. The room was very clean and comfortable, offered a nice view of the harbor. Free Internet-connected computers for guest use in the lobby were a nice touch. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Pool/hot tub were clean and enjoyable. Excellent breakfast buffet.
There are great restaurants and other amenities (Whole Foods) in the immediate vicinity. Much of the area is under construction and that will only enhance this location in the future as new businesses open.
The hotel itself was excellent, but two things I'd do differently:
1) The rate we paid was only about $20 less than the full-service Marriott two blocks away. Maybe it was this particular weekend and the difference isn't always so little, but I'd be tempted to give the full-service hotel a try next time if faced with similar rates.
2) There is lots of available metered street parking in the immediate vicinity (for now at least, given that many new businesses haven't opened yet) while the hotel is charging $19/day. You might be able to make a street space work for you--meters operate Monday-Saturday from either 8 or 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.
Loved the Courtyard Marriott!!!
Stayed at the Marriott for 2 nights this past weekend with 9 friends. The front desk staff were amazing. So helpful and even gave a day of free parking. They are lovely!
The hotel is in an up and coming area, lots of construction, but still accessible. It's directly in between Fells Point and the Inner Harbor, so if you are planning on doing both (which I recommend) this is the hotel. The hotel is directly next door to a new Whole Foods and lots of restaurants. Great price, Great service, Great location!
Friendly service, surrounding area under construction
My husband and I stayed at this hotel for two nights (Thursday and Friday) with our two children (ages 7 and 4) in February. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
The pool is on the 4th floor, so if you're traveling with kids you may want to request that floor. During our stay, the pool opened at 5 p.m., which was rather an inconvenient time for the kids who wanted to swim earlier. The pool was the perfect size for our two small children, but it may seem small for families with older kids.
The hotel is close enough to walk to all the Inner Harbor main attractions (Aquarium, Science Museum, etc.). However, because of the current construction going on around the hotel and its vicinity, it was at times hard to manuever the kids.
Once construction is finished in that area, it will probably be easier to leave the car in the garage in the car and walk to the other areas like Fells Point.
Marriott Courtyard - a definite do-again!
In August I accompanied my daughter in her move to Baltimore to help her find an apartment. We stayed at the Courtyard (east harbor area) for ten days while getting her settled. It could not have been a better experience. The room was neat and clean and, while not luxurious, was exactly the "home away from home" we needed at the end of the day. However the staff made the experience rank in the excellent category. Each and every one of the employees we encountered - from from desk to room attendants to security - were all genuinely friendly and more than anxious to do whatever they could to make our stay successful. The place exuded positive attitude of people who seemed to actually enjoy their jobs!
Parking was easy (though not cheap); the building also housed two restaurants (the mexican place was great) and a Whole Foods grocery - perfect for a pick up of snacks or a trip through the salad bar for a meal in the room. One feature that was a plus for us was the coin-op laundry room in the hotel - a must for these long stays.
The location of the hotel was perfect - while not in the bustle of the inner harbor, it was a quick and pleasant walk, as was Fells Point and Little Italy. I can't think of a better location for exploring - on foot - some of Baltimore's variety of restaurants and great water atmosphere.
Don't be put off by the rather bland outer appearance or the construction nearby (a little noisy - but that will end) - this is a great choice for visitors who want more convenience than glitz.
Serene Comfort
I stayed at the Courtyard Inner Harbor for 5 nights in April. If you're looking for a comfortable, quiet stay within a reasonable walking distance to most attractions (Little Italy, Harbor Place, etc.) this is a great option.
Let's set the record straight - ALL Baltimore hotels are overpriced, and this is no exception. While resources within the hotel are limited (small breakfast-only restaurant, little bar, no gift shop to speak of) the WholeFoods market on the corner was a great convenience. Also, the hotel desk staff were amazing! I tried to buy nail polish remover from the desk clerk, who convinced me to just use a bottle he had that was already open. Not your typical hotel service! Weather in Baltimore was perfect during our stay, so even the walk to Camden Yard and the Convention Center were enjoyable - just forego fashion for comfort. The Ritz, this is not, but it's a comfortable, quiet hotel for the weary traveler. The beds were super comfortable and I couldn't have been happier with our choice!
Not worth the price, not at this location
The rooms were clean and reasonably well-apponted, but given the young age of this hotel, that's to be expected. The bathroom was bizarrely institutional, kind of like what you'd expect from a Red Roof Inn. The service was disappointingly disinterested in their duties. In all, this is the kind of place you'd spend $75 for in the suburbs and not feel too terribly ripped off. But it costs far more than that. We paid a substantial discount off the rack rate, and it was still way too much. This is an acceptable alternative to the pricier Marriott Waterfront if you're attending a function there or in Little Italy. Otherwise, there are nicer hotels at the price much closer to Baltimore attractions. While the walk from this hotel to the Aquarium, Harborplace, and the Power Plant is relatively easy and pleasant, the Convention Center and Science Center are lengthy hikes, and Camden Yards is quite distant. There's nothing about this hotel that would make such an effort worthwhile.
Courtyard Inner Harbor
Was directed to this hotel by staff at Marriott Inner Harbor (which had NO rooms!). This Courtyard is a bit away from the Harbor, but within walking distance. Nothing fantastic, but nothing bad either. The walk to Camden Yards is a big one (over a mile), but manageable, even with a 2- and 7-year old in tow. Decent-sized room, nice staff, good breakfast. Very close to Little Italy, although this trip didn't allow time to enjoy the food there...Would stay there again, if first choice wasn't available.
Great Place to Stay
The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Checkin was very smooth. Our room was very clean with a view toward Fells Point. The hotel is in walking distance of Fells Point, Little Italy and Inner Harbor attractions. There is a market around the corner and several restaurants within easy walking distance. The hotel had an excellent breakfast buffet each morning for $9.95. The indoor pool and hot tub were maintained by an attendant and were both very clean. The pool is only open from 5pm to 10pm during the week but the hours are longer on weekends. I would stay here again.
Coutyard was very nice
Stayed at Courtyard August 22-25, '03. Our accommodations were really nice, room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the guests in the room next door liked to party at 2 a.m. each night. We were lucky enough to get a room facing the harbor which was nice at night. There will not be a harbor view much longer. They are constructing a new building across the street and if you're a late sleeper, caution that construction crews begin work at 6:30 a.m. and are quite loud. They are only breaking ground and the work will continue for many months. The staff was courteous and friendly. Would stay there again because of its location. We could walk to the Inner Harbor, Fells Point and Little Italy. By the way, make sure you "Ride the Duck" and ask for Captain America. It was a great tour and lots of fun!
Great hotel!
I stayed in Baltimore in Feb '03 at the Courtyard on the waterfront, and was very pleased. My room was new (hotel is fairly new) and clean, bed was comfortable, & the room had all amenities I needed (data port, etc.); great breakfast, and a bar for my nightcap. Stay here ... much cheaper than the Marriott across the street.

Winners Go Home and Boink the Prom Queen
Just two minutes, 40 seconds into week two of the Dolphin's NFL season, right about the time that Arizona Cardinal's receiver Anquan Boldin sprinted past coverage and took an average pass from Kurt Warner for 79 yards to paydirt, a collective grown sputtered forth from Homestead to Hobe Sound. Twelve minutes and 31 seconds into week three, when running back Ronnie Brown and the wildcat offense began an unlikely rout of New England, that collective grown grew some balls and became a wail. Neither the fans, nor the Dolphins, have looked back since.
Now here it is, week 14, and for the first time since 2003, the Fins are a legitimate playoff contender. The boys in aqua have a winning record and a giant-killing attitude. But most importantly, the specter of 1-15, which once loomed large over another coaching change, is no where in sight. At 1 p.m. today, the Dolphins will face another must-win game in a season full of them, as the San Francisco 49ers come to town. It will be tough not to look past the surging Niners and their stalwart interim coach, Mike Singletary specifically to December 28, when the Fins play the Jets in a game that could decide the division. But everything points to the Dolphins playing well at this, their last home game of the regular season. Get your final fix of that winning anthem when the two teams face off at Dolphin Stadium (2269 Dan Marino Blvd., Miami). Tickets start at $41. Call 888-FINS-TIX, or visit ticketmaster.com.

Beckham spends big on baby girl
- From: NewsCore
- May 04, 2011
PREGNANT Victoria Beckham has spent $15,000 decorating a pink nursery for her baby girl.
The fashion designer splurged during a shopping spree at the upscale London department store, Harrods, The Sun reported today.
Victoria Beckham, 37, and her husband, soccer sensation David Beckham, 36, picked out a pink color scheme for their upcoming child's room at the Beckhams' UK home and bought a luxury changing table and crib.
The pop star-turned-designer - due to give birth in the summer - also spent A$15,247 on a nursery at the couple's luxurious house in Bargemon, southeastern France.
After the birth, the couple plans to have a late holiday at the 6 million pound villa, before making a permanent return to Sawbridgeworth, southern England.
The Beckhams already have three boys - Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight and Cruz, six.
A friend said, "They are so thrilled at having a daughter."

a truly selfish, self-centered act like this one is so irritating - my immediate reaction was that i knew exactly what party this person belonged to...
given the polarized political times we live in, it made me think of the perspective differences of each party's underlying themes:
a) some of us think "how will my actions affect others"
b) some of us think only about ourselves
a) some of us think "how can i help others"
b) some of us feel we are owed more than others
a) some of us understand that we live in a world full of human interaction and compromise
b) some of us are oblivious to those around us
a) some of us proactively consider cause and effect of our actions
b) some of us take no notice of the consequences of our actions
anyway, i'm apolitical for the most part, but i'm pretty biased when it comes to humanity at large - i relate to the a) list and am appalled by the b) list...

Milwaukee Music Video: See the visual treatment for Alchemy's 'Creature of Love'
The music video for glossy synthpop band Alchemy's "Creature of Love" doesn't feature unicorns, a snuggly, six-foot-tall stuffed animal or any other cutesy creatures of love. But it does have a CGI mud monster, a sickly, paranoid dude in a hoodie and the local group rocking out at Mad Planet.
"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

More Former Bizarre Creations Devs Form Indie Micro-Studio
Written Thursday, March 24, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Rising from the ashes of Bizarre Creations is a second new studio, following the formation of Lucid Games headed up by managing director Peter Wallace. Now a brand spanking new micro-studio named Hogrocket has also been formed by another group of ex-Bizarre staff.
Based in the North-West of England, the new indie studio is being led by Geometry Wars' daddy and now technical director at Hogrocket, Stephen Cakebread, Bizarre's former community manager, Ben Ward who now fulfils the role of managing director and Peter Collier, the senior level designer whose work at Bizarre included The Club and James Bond 007: Blood Stone, who now holds the title of creative director at the new studio.
"We've started work on our first game, and we hope to have some news to share about it very soon. It's really exciting to be working for ourselves as an indie developer!" said Cakebread.
Hogrocket is starting out with development on mobile, social and connected platforms, so we won't be seeing anything on consoles from the developer any time soon, but it's still good to know that Bizarre Creations has managed to land on its feet and form two new studios following the axe being dropped on the PGR and Geometry Wars dev by Activision earlier this year.
You can keep up with Hogrocket via the dev's Twitter or through the official website, where you can also sign up to the mailing list for regular updates.

A Revolutionary Program That WorksWe've all been there-angry with ourselves for overeating, for our lack of willpower, for failing at yet another diet that was supposed to be the last one.

How I Gave Up Dieting and Got a LifeA hilarious and inspiring memoir about one young woman's journey to find a better path to both physical and mental health. At twenty-nine, Kelsey Miller had done it all: crash diets, healthy diets, and nutritionist-prescribed "eating plans," which are diets that you pay more money for.

This review is from: Soul by Ludacris SL99 In-Ear High-Def Sound Isolation Headphone
Pros: Great sound quality, good value for quality, anti tangle, fits well in my ear, I'm using the smaller ear buds. ,nice storage pouch, assortment of ear bud sizes. Long cord. Takes average daily punishment. Look great.
Cons: They tend to need adjustments, so as not to fall out of my ear, from time to time. No, "on ear hooks", to hold them in place if you are wearing them during heavy activities. I have tried, but they keep falling out, or need to be adjusted. They don't have the specs posted on their web site. I would like to know that the d b, impedance, and what the exact frequency response is.
Other Thoughts: These are truly a great value for the money, especially if you get them during a sale. I have had these for over two months now and have used them on a daily basis. I have used them while working, during heavy activities...e.g. working out or house and outdoor activities. I have even used them while sleeping. They have withstood my pulling on them or tugging by accident, my sweat, and rain. They are tough, or I have been really lucky, or both. =)
The sound quality is amazing for an ear bud. NOT to be confused with over ear head phones! Clean bass, clear mid and highs. Out of all the other ear buds I have used and have now, these have been one of the best. I have the high end Bose ear buds, $$299.00 TDK's ear buds, almost as expensive JVC ear buds, and the SL99's sound the best all around. Each one of the others does a great job, BUT they don't reproduce the over all sound, 20hz to 20khz, as evenly throughout. These reproduce the bass smooth and evenly, were as the Bose is heavy deep bass with very little high end reproduction, much like their home speakers, (which I also have). The TDK's sound amazing, but they lack the bass that the SL99's reproduce. The JVC sound and feel great as well but don't have that mid or bass that the SL99's do. The SL99's reproduce smooth accurate clear highs, much like the JVC's. I have spent hours listen to the difference using sound testing music which I have used to set up home theater and car audio systems,(I use to install them),to see which one sounds the best and overall the SL99's sound the best. And just a friendly warning the highs are reproduced accurately enough to damage your ears if you are listen at to high volume level.
This review is from: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX
Pros: Purchased two of these for a new build. I have them set up to support one 840 pro 256 SSD which is running the OS and a few major programs.
- SATAIII, 64MB cache, 7200RPM.
- Runs cool, low noise,
- I cannot hear them above the quiet sound of my fan set up.
- Single plater.
- awesome read/ writes for a mechanical drive running at 7200 RPM
- Its a Western digital
- great price point
Cons: - would like a more than 2 year warranty
Other Thoughts: I was very impressed with the access times in raid 0 configuration.
Cystal Disk benchmark: In raid 0, 1863GB usable space after format. USING (Very important people!!) MSI motherboard that is SATAIII! SATAII and SATA1.5 will NOT get you these numbers.

Seq writes: 357.1MB/s
For comparison my 840 Pro 256GB 43% full:
Seq Read: 483.4 MB/s , Seq Write: 446.6
For Comparison, two 300GB Vraptors enterprise-class 10,000RPM, SATAII 3.0Gb/s, in raid 0:
Seq Read: 208.9MB/s , Seq Write: 209.5
You do the math, I'm very impressed!

* Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB kit
* Corsair H100i
* all of the above mentioned drives
* two MSI HD7870 GHz edition
* Corsair HX850
This review is from: Sony PS Vita 32GB Memory Card
Pros: Size, small, easy to store
Cons: Price is not value added, proprietary format
Other Thoughts: If they had a bigger size, I would have purchased it. I came from a 16GB that was almost completely filled. To this and it's almost completely filled. =)READ FULL REVIEW

Sure, you go for the animals, the entertainment, the Midway. But what really draws you to the Wisconsin State Fair is the food.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Some players took sides on whether the All-Star game is fun or simply a chore. Others looked forward to sizing up the competition.
Washington's Jaromir Jagr said he was exhausted from a six-hour flight across the country and is worried fans in the Czech Republic might think "it will be easy" to defend the gold medal in two weeks in Salt Lake City.
"You cannot change it, of course, but it's tough to fit everything in - the 82 games, the All-Star game and the Olympics," Jagr said Friday after All-Star practice at the Staples Center. "There's not much time to do it."
Jagr's Czech teammate, Detroit goalie Dominik Hasek, also said he was against having an All-Star game.
"This schedule is already so loaded that I don't think it's a good idea," he said. "This is only my opinion, but I think there's enough for the fans to see with the Olympics going on this season."
He still called it a "big honor" to be chosen for today's game, matching North American and World teams.
Dallas' Mike Modano and Ottawa's Daniel Alfredsson, among others, said they were leaning against attending - if chosen - because of fatigue and nagging injuries. They were subsequently left off the roster.

After losing 214 lbs., Erik Chopin -- who started off at 407 -- was crowned the winner of Biggest Loser season 3. But after the reality show was over and the trainers had gone home, the deli owner from West Islip, N.Y., slowly gained the weight back.
"I came from such a high of winning then the reality sets in of not being on the show and not being accountable, then I went into the real world and it all started up again," says the husband and father of three, who got back up to 368 lbs.
Chopin spoke with PEOPLE before a Discovery Health documentary, Confessions of a Reality Show Loser, addresses his fall from grace."I felt so proud about what I had done," he says, "but I feel like I've let down but gaining a lot of the weight back."
Chopin didn't simply revert back to greasy foods and overeating, but he admits that he started "procrastinating" and lost his sense of drive. "I thought I knew how to lose weight better than anyone," he says. "I felt a lack of purpose. That's why I gained the weight back."
After getting on the scale one more time and realizing that he was within 30 lbs. of his 2006 weight, Chopin was spurred into action and determined to lose the weight again -- this time with a renewed fervor. "I've thought about new ways of working out and what would excite me, like boxing."
The one-hour documentary airs tonight (9 p.m. EST) on Discovery Health. --Amy Elisa KeithTrae Patton/NBC, Courtesy Discovery

Dazzling Glinda ensures a bewitching 'Wicked'
Watching Hayley Podschun's captivating Glinda on Thursday night at the Marcus Center, I realized how much this ambitious sorority girl from Oz has in common with the musical in which she co-stars with Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West.
Like the dazzling Glinda, "Wicked" knows how to milk an entrance, fill a room and put on a show. This is the same tour that was here in 2010, and the production values in evidence then continue to impress, from the lavish Edwardian costumes and matching steampunk set to the spectacular lighting design and 14-piece pit orchestra. »Read Full Article

Last couple of days I visited the Gran Turismo Events on the Nurburgring. Koenigsegg Norway also enjoyed this great event with their Official Test Car 7031 Streetfighter and the World Record Car Agera R. When the awesome 1115 HP Koenigsegg Agera R passed the pit lane on Döttinger Höhe on Thursday everyone was amazed by the speed of the car. Using the whole 3.5 kilometer straight, the Koenigsegg logged a "quite impressive" 401.6 km/h before braking before the bridge at Tiergarten. The Agera R has a normal Koenigsegg road setup, was driven on 98 oktan fuel and on standard Michelin Pilot tires.

Stuffed Toys That Teach and Entertain
Today, stuffed toys can do more than ever before. The latest toy designs include stuffed toys that can help children build important developmental skills. For example, dressing and undressing a stuffed toy that comes with clothing can help little ones build fine motor strength. A stuffed toy may also teach kids how to do things like undo zippers and fasten buckles. You can find stuffed toys that introduce concepts like colors, shapes, numbers and letters to little ones. Other stuffed toys are designed to entertain babies, toddlers and older kids with special features. Stuffed toys with lights can capture kids' attention and help to make a dark bedroom less frightening in the middle of the night. Some stuffed toys incorporate sound that can soothe little ones or get them moving to the music.
Friends for Cuddling and Pretend Play
A stuffed animal does not need lights and sounds to be enjoyable for a child. Many children are comforted simply by having soft, cuddly toys to hug. Kids may have an easier time relaxing for bed with the right stuffed toy to keep them company, and children may feel more comfortable in new situations, such as when visiting the doctor, with a stuffed friend at their sides. Stuffed toys can also be used in play to enliven a child's imagination. Children may pretend that stuffed toys are their pets, their children, their friends or characters from their favorite books, television shows and movies.
Stuffed Toys with Functional Features
Not all stuffed toys are made just for playing. Some have functional features that can help Mom and Dad complete daily tasks. Bath and bed linens may be attached to stuffed toys to make bedtime and bath time routines more fun for little ones. Some furnishings for kids are in the form of stuffed toys, so that items like seats can be cuddlier and more appealing to kids.
How to Choose a Stuffed Animal
A stuffed toy can be a great gift for any child, provided that you choose the perfect one for him or her. Often, shoppers start by considering the child's age. Many stuffed toys are made especially for kids in certain age groups. Toys for younger children typically have no small parts that could come loose and pose a risk for choking. Age recommendations are also important with educational stuffed animals, as these toys are usually geared toward children's skill levels at certain ages. Keeping a child's interests in mind will also help you select the right toy. For instance, he or she may love a particular kind of animal or have a special color preference that you can take into account as you shop.
