J., took office Wednesday as president of Loyola university. His appointment by the Very Rev. John B. Janssens, S. J., general of the Society of Jesus in Rome, was announced Tuesday night by the Very Rev. E. Cecil Lang, S. J., acting provincial of the New Orleans Jesuit Province. Fr. Donnelly replaces the Rev. Thomas J. Shields, S. J., president of Loyola since 1945. The 44 year old president come* to Loyola from Spring Hill College, Mobile, where he ha* been president since 1946. From 1942 to 1946 he was principal of Jesuit high school here. "Fr. Donnelly does not come to New Orleans as a stranger," Fr. Shields said. "His genial manner has won him a host of friends when he was principal of Jesuit high school. He is a highly capable executive and Loyola will take great strides under his administration."A native of Augusta, Ga., the tall, lean priest joined the Jesuit* in September, 1927. He finished his "classical studies" at St. Charles college in Grand Coteau, "philosophical studies" at St. Louis university, and his "theological studies" at St. Mary's college in Kansas. He was ordained there on June 26, 1940. Fr. Donnelly received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and his Master of Arts in History, both at St. Louis university in 1933 and 1934. "Generally, a Jesuit in such an administrative position, serve* a term of three or more years, rarely exceeding six," Fr. Shields explained. Of himself, president for nearly seven years, Fr. Shields said he would probably remain at Loyola "for some weeks yet." Fr. Donnelly, who will also be rector of the Jesuit community at the university, arrived from Spring Hill Tuesday. He is being succeeded there by the Very Rev. Sidney Tonsmeyer, S. J. Father Shields will remain for awhile to help acquaint the new president with the problems he is to face as president of Loyola, and to help him make the contacts so necessary in administration work.

There are millions of in concentration camps, and there are constant uprisings, according to the Rev. Andrei Ouroussoff, S. J. Speiking Monday at the third Loyola University Forum, the son of a Russian prince and the onV Russian Jesuit in America, said, "For this reason it is wiong to say the Russians are sheading Communism. "My country is now occupied Dy an interior enemy, which has killed 30,000,000 Russian people under the Communitt regime," he said. "The Communists are so powerul in Russia because they took :ontrol when men were searching for a solution to overcome the human injustices of the industrial revolution." "Rusiia by nature it social, and the people find it Hard to be alone and mind their own businesa. The Rusaian wants to give hit good to others," the Jesuit said in hi* talk on "Life in Ruaaia Today." "The 'middle man' believes in the importance of his own interest first, then his family, county, and so on; but the Bolshevick believes in the idea of world revolution first; secondly, his own interest, his county, etc..

96 tahoe transmission swap
Ok, so my transmission on the 96 tahoe is shot, it will not shift into 3rd and 4th. I have another 350, with 80k on it, a 4l80e transmission with less than 2k on a rebuild, and the transfer case from a 94 k2500, all still bolted together. In addition to the transmission problem, I now have a head gasket issue, and so I'm thinking of using it all in the tahoe. Doing a little research, I've learned that I will have to re-pin the connector for the pcm, and I'm getting conflicting reports about possibly needing to have the pcm flashed. Should I keep my transfer case, or would it be worth swapping that out? Though it would mean converting from push-button, to manual. And of course modifying my driveshaft. Any thoughts?

Dan Roberts, the Academy of Western Artists Entertainer and Male Vocalist of the Year, is bringing his original style of cowboy western music into the 21st century.
His win at the 2000 Academy of Western Artists awards follows on the heels of Billboard magazine calling him "one of today's up-and-coming performers in the western market. " Roberts has turned many an ear towards cowboy western music in the last year with the release of his debut album, 'There's A Little Cowboy In All of Us'. His performances at numerous concerts and cowboy gatherings have garnered much support and respect from his fans and cowboy comrades. "Dan Roberts songs are finely crafted and entertaining," says Red Stegall, "Dan is a real American treasure." "There's A Little Cowboy In All Of Us," produced by Texas Swing legend Tommy Allsup, brought the singer/songwriter full circle to the very heart of the kind of music he loves to write and sing about, pieces of cowboy life. Among his most requested songs are his patriotic tribute to John Wayne and his humorous take on "Horse tradin". His single, "Saddle Pals," is in honor of cowboys who know each other in and out because of the many miles they've traveled together. The song struck a nerve with folks who have been in those same circumstances, riding it to the top of "Rope Burns" magazines western music chart. "Dan Roberts brings a fresh approach to the genre of western music," says Bobby Newton, owner/ publisher of "Rope Burns" magazine. "Although his style is unique, Dan's music reminds me of the authenticity and originality of Marty Robbins. I would say we have a definite star on the rise." The "star on the rise" moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a song writer after seeing a television show about songwriters and the song writing community in Music City. "I slept in my truck when I first got to town because I didn't know anyone here," Roberts says with a wry grin. The young man was soon networking within the music community writing with other writers. He started to get a few cuts here and there and met up with another new singer/songwriter in town, Garth Brooks, with whom he often traded original material and cowboy songs around a campfire. After moving to town, Roberts was making his living mainly in construction and by working as a horseshoer. Even though he was writing songs and getting a few cuts in those early years, the music wasn't taking off for him the way he thought it would and Dan decided to move west and go to work on a cattle ranch. A phone call changed his mind. It seemed Garth was getting ready to write his next album and, remembering Dan's song writing talents, called to ask if he was interested in writing with him. The move west was postponed and Dan sat down to write with Brooks and songwriter Bryan Kennedy. Together they co-wrote "The Fever," "The Old Stuff," and the song that would turn the corner for Dan, the poignant rodeo cowboy song "Beaches of Cheyenne." It was a chart-topping runaway hit for Brooks, and Garth promptly asked Dan and Bryan to join him on his tour later that year. They were the opening act for 260 shows in 60 cities, playing before more than three million people. They opened more shows for Brooks than any previous opening act. That experience helped Dan hone in on the dream that he had to sing and record cowboy western music. Roberts is steeped in western traditions. He grew up in Oregon, in a family that sang together. By the age of five he was singing four part harmony with the family group, the Melo-Ds. "I have been blessed with a great family," Roberts says, "One that taught me the values of integrity, honesty and hard work. So much of those traits are the traits of the cowboy. The cowboy was and is who I want to be about." With his debut release, Dan's music caught on quickly and he became very much in demand at cowboy gatherings across the country, including The Santa Clarita Poetry & Music Festival in California and the Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium in Ruidosa, N.M. As a newcomer to cowboy western music, Dan was nominated for the Academy of Western Music's Rising Star Award as well as "Single of the Year" for "Saddle Pals." The success of his first album prompted him to start writing songs for his second release, "Cowhand.com," released in September 2000. "I love the traditions of cowboy western music, but I'm trying to forge my own style," says Dan. "It's definitely cowboy music you can dance to. The audience usually starts with a toe tap, but my favorite part is when the music pulls them to the dance floor." Not only is his music good dance music, but it is seasoned with a bit of humor, as in songs like "Cowhand.com." The title cut takes a humorous look at the adventures of a cowboy who hires onto an outfit that is basically run by computers, not seasoned cowboys. Dan takes the misadventures of this technologically challenged cowboy who longs for the "old days" and turns them into a knee-slapping song. Upon the release of his second album, Roberts and his family (wife Carol, son J.D. and daughters Austin and Maggie) moved to a small ranch west of Fort Worth. "I found myself playing a lot of dates out West and always flying in and out of the DFW airport," Roberts says. "We took a hard look at everything and decided to move to Texas. If you're writing cowboy music, it only makes sense to be in cowboy country, and what better place than the Lonestar State! I believe cowboy/western music could be huge if more people were exposed to it. I'm going to do as much as I can to see that they get that chance." Though his days of riding broncs and bulls are over and his farrier work has dwindled to just shoeing his own horses, Roberts is just as involved in the cowboy way of life as ever. He has taken up team roping and hopes to find time to do a little of that in between heading down the trail to the cowboy gatherings and writing songs about the way of life he knows and loves.

This is blinking if Republicans and Democrats remain far far far part of what to do but the bush era tax cuts the tax -- -- other set to expire December 31 and yesterday the Republican led house which some Democrats -- them.
Voted to extend the cuts for every one.
But senate Democrats only want to extend them for families earning less than 250000 dollars a year.
-- we spoke with house majority leader Eric Cantor earlier tonight.
Best -- their credit -- and see you.
Okay the house has passed its bill having to do it taxes because over to the senate I take -- down.
Arrival there.
Well I think that that prediction we'll probably be about wine and you know grew out of the reality is if jobs.
Is the priority around here if that's where the country really is focused.
There are two very different approaches to trying to go after that go.
One on a part of president Harry Reid.
Would say that you raise taxes and therefore somehow it will benefit all of us and you'll see economic growth happen.
Instead if you look at the house Republican approach which actually was supported by nineteen Democrats and in the house.
Very sad and agreed with us that now is not the time to raise taxes.
On small businesses if you want to create jobs since -- the job engine of the country.
When I look at these numbers -- what the president's proposed is raising taxes with the -- about eight days of the federal government which leads 357 days we stuff to deal with.
On the one hand that's hardly seems like a lot to fight about -- -- got you know we've got huge economic problems just eight days maybe it is maybe it isn't.
But -- but on the other hand out.
You know is it going to make a difference to be -- be spoken people that people stop.
Hiring people because of this is -- really gonna make a profound impact on and the wealthy.
-- commentary of you folks are represented Richmond Virginia the small business people tell me absolutely you raise my taxes it's just gonna make -- business of my business harder it'll make the business of job creation heart.
There's any question and in fact there was an independent study that came out a couple weeks ago.
Which said that if you raise taxes the way the president and Harry Reid and the Democrats in the senate want to.
It's gonna cost the -- 700000 jobs.
And that's really were facing and you make a good point I mean for -- Or is it all political now we're really trying to do something that helps the economy -- that helps the engine of jobs which are small business people.
And I suppose to some extent in the billionaires it's hard have sympathy for the -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Which is a marriage penalty brought if you if you live would someone it's 400000 dollars in income in your in your houses and handed him very -- to fifties as a marriage penalty.
So there's a -- proposal and that if you look at that section of the population.
50% of those taxpayers get at least a quarter of their income from small businesses the past humanities -- Policies and some passes -- the job creators.
And again a hard -- income -- more jobs they create.
So that's probably say it's really counter intuitive.
Who would say that that's good policy if the priority is jobs and that's why I think that the president may -- -- for jobs.
But clearly his policies have not indicated such.
And this latest attempt to.
Really play politics.
I think is making job creation a lot more difficult.
Where do you stand on the well the city's sequestration is guys really two elements as a policy element is a jobs element.
I mean I think many of us are very concerned with.
-- fact that even the Defense Secretary.
I'm mr.
Panetta has said this is going to be incredibly damaging to the Pentagon the ability to affect its mission.
On the jobs front and I come from Virginia as you know there's going to be a terrific impact and negative impact.
In terms of jobs in our communities.
Are Virginia -- has historically hasn't heard as -- -- huge role in the defense of this country.
And we're gonna see tremendous job losses.
Because you'll see the Pentagon have to pull back in a way that's gonna affect our mission.
To defend this country so what the house has done is we've said we don't want that.
President's defense cuts to hit so what we've offered up is alternatives.
Ways to cut the budget.
That will look to pay it will make a responsible.
To avoid this hit the Pentagon the presence.
-- let me tell us that I think might be the collective.
Frustration of many Americans.
Is -- this -- problem began last August and the whole idea was it if that there are super committee was created had to make a decision by November if they didn't these automatic cuts the sequestration would go into effect.
Now nothing was done essentially least appears -- people since they were not able to reach a decision.
For the last -- -- separate months now we're back in the crisis look.
What can the American people gain by that deal that was cut a year ago to -- on the road.
Well what what we ended up doing is tying.
A debt ceiling increase time to move to make it even worse from fiscal standpoint not to have to burden the next generation and Harris.
We tied to that move.
A requirement that -- got to force priorities you have to force cots because you can't keep -- in this whole vapor that's what we did.
But setting policy that was brand new.
Once and for all we said you can't keep borrowing money day in the hole deeper with out trying to fix the problem.
Because if you keep doing it all you're gonna do is keep raising taxes.
And you're gonna keep asking people to put their money into the problem that you never resolved.
And in that way you're not -- -- economic growth you won't see more jobs you won't see folks getting a better so more confidence about themselves that the future will be better.
Governor -- I was just in Israel -- do you see any profound differences between governor Romney is few you have Israel and Iran.
And I'm president promised.
There's no question about how a lot of disappointment.
Looking at this administration's policy and is leadership or lack there -- issues affecting US interest in the Middle East.
I've traveled to of the gulf region visited some of our Arab allies.
This year as well as having recently been -- Israel last year.
And the message I received from both it is they're asking where is America where is the leadership that we're counting on.
And I think that what you saw with governor Romney's trip as you know governor Romney went -- there to listen.
But he also I think made a strong statement to say that America's role is to lead and our allies count on us.
To lead in terms of our fight for freedom and terms of the promotion of American interest worldwide.
And if you look at any of the issues going on whether it's Iran or Syria -- proxies in Hezbollah and Hamas.
I think that you clearly gonna see a lot stronger leadership and clarity coming out of Iran administration and you've seen in the Obama administration.
-- nice.

Not much this week for MMOs, sorry to say. Most are just giving players an "extra experience weekend" to lull them into playing on the PC instead of being outside grilling burgers and getting bent on beer.

Louisa May Alcott: Jo's BoysChapter 7. THE LION AND THE LAMB (continued)Mrs Jo sat and enjoyed the prospect like a romantic soul as she was, and then they had a quiet talk together, saying freely all that was in their hearts, and finding much comfort in the confidence which comes when love casts out fear. It was agreed that nothing be said except to Nan, who was to be thanked and rewarded for her courage, discretion, and fidelity. 'I always knew that girl had the making of a fine woman in her, and this proves it. No panics and shrieks and faintings and fuss, but calm sense and energetic skill. Dear child, what can I give or do to show my gratitude?' said Mrs Jo enthusiastically. 'Make Tom clear out and leave her in peace,' suggested Ted, almost himself again, though a pensive haze still partially obscured his native gaiety. 'Yes, do! he frets her like a mosquito. She forbade him to come out here while she stayed, and packed him off with Demi. I like old Tom, but he is a regular noodle about Nan,' added Rob, as he went away to help his father with the accumulated letters. 'I'll do it!' said Mrs Jo decidedly. 'That girl's career shall not be hampered by a foolish boy's fancy. In a moment of weariness she may give in, and then it's all over. Wiser women have done so and regretted it all their lives. Nan shall earn her place first, and prove that she can fill it; then she may marry if she likes, and can find a man worthy of her.' But Mrs Jo's help was not needed; for love and gratitude can work miracles, and when youth, beauty, accident, and photography are added, success is sure; as was proved in the case of the unsuspecting but too susceptible Thomas.

You Meet the Nicest People Making Videogames is to be a documentary about everyday people who express themselves by making videogames.
You Meet the Nicest People Making Videogames is to be a documentary about everyday people who express themselves by making videogames. "To be", because at the moment, this movie hasn't completed production, and doesn't have the funding to do so. Everything you see in the trailer above, and everything I've shot since, was made with borrowed equipment, on my own time and my own dime. I've been working on it, in the margins, since January of last year, getting interviews whenever I could.
It's gone well so far, and I'd like to do more. My plan is to drive cross country, film some more interviews and put together a feature-length documentary. This feature, I'll have screened in any theater that'll have it, and throughout the festival circuit. It'll also be free to download an watch at home, or to modify or share, as it'll be released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license (CC-BY-SA - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/).
I've made a couple different attempts at funding the continued production of this movie, and although I've gotten a great deal of support, I haven't quite been able to hit my funding goal. I'd since taken the time to work on a few other smaller projects to keep the lights on, but now I am ready to get back on the horse.
This particular fundraiser isn't to cover the entirety of production, but to cover equipment costs and the drive across the state of California. I will begin filming in April and keep a blog on my progress on the road. Once this leg is completed, I'll put together a short film as a longform proof of concept to garner further support so the movie in its entirety can be finished. This video, just like the feature length, will be freely available online under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license.

I say make that statment real. Use a battle counter for the exp/Cbill boosters. If a buy a boosters it last my next 10 battles so if dont have time to play today i know my booster will last for when i really use it. And not some arbitrary 3 days that force me to get playing on those days or i wasted my money.
This will also help every player because i know a lot of us will be spending crazy amounts of time in the mechlab, and that will mean that if we bought a booster we will feel a tiny bit pressed to engage battles and not be investiganting what we can do with the exp/Cbill the booster brought.

Krishna Prema das was born as GiamPaolo Tofani in Florence Italy, 1944. At the age of 16 he started playing guitar following the mood of artists of that time (Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, The Shadows etc.)
In 1969 after different musical experiences in Italy (including the groups "I Samuraiâ€, "I Califfi†), he found him self in England playing in various clubs in London. At that time he started getting involved with the Electronic Synths of EMS and working on solo productions. He mastered a way to get great sound out of a simple stereo tape recorder. In 1973 Paolo returned to Italy to join the group named "Areaâ€. During this time he became deeply involved in electronic, jazz, avant-garde, ethnic and classical music with musicians like Stockhausen, Derek Baley, Steve Lacy, Zakir Hussain and many others. His explorative nature brought his life into a radical direction when he became a Vaishnava monk in 1979. This did not stop his desire to go deeper into the understanding of music, but gave inspiration to go deeper into the root meaning of it, and the connections it has to the spiritual side of the human being. His intense research lead him to music of the Raga scales and the design and construction of a unique guitar type instrument call a "Tri-kanta Veenaâ€. The Krsna Vision series started out as the musical sound track we used with our Krsna Vision Multi-Vision 9 slide projector set up. Each piece is a re-arrangement of Vaishnava medieval poems written and sung in either Sanskrit or Bengali. The musical style in this CD is mixture of World, Fusion, Soft Rock, sometimes breaking into a stylized pop, but always orchestrated with a certain delicacy in a way to maintain the original mood of the song. Each album contains a booklet with the English translations of these poems. Now Krishna Prema produces his music in an endeavor to share his thoughts and realizations as a musician and a man with others.

Yemen Observer
The poor are suffering and will suffer even more with the advance of
climate change because they are at greatest risk of human development
reversals, said the Global Human Development Report 2007/ 2008,
released February 13 at the Movenpick Hotel. The HDR 2007/2008,
entitled Fighting Climate Change: Human Solidarity in a Divided World,
was launched by the United Nations Development Programme in Yemen in
cooperation with the Ministry of Planning and International
Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world
today. Recent events have emphatically demonstrated a growing
vulnerability to this phenomenon. "Confronted with a problem as
daunting as this, resigned pessimism might seem a justified response,"
said Selva Ramachandran, UNDP Yemen Resident Representative at the
launch of the HDR 2007/2008. "However, resigned pessimism is a luxury
that the world's poor and future generations cannot afford, and there
is an alternative. In short, climate change has become a priority!"
The report provides a stark account of the threat posed by global
warming. It argues that the world is drifting towards a "tipping point"
that could lock the poorest countries and their neediest citizens in a
downward spiral, leaving hundreds of millions facing malnutrition,
water scarcity, ecological threats and a loss of livelihoods.
"Ultimately, climate change is a threat to humanity as a whole. But it
is the poor, a constituency with no responsibility for the ecological
debt we are running up, who face the immediate and most severe human
costs," said UNDP administrator, Kemal Dervis.
As a result of past emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other
greenhouse gases (GHGs), the world is now on course for future climate
change and has less than a decade to avoid dangerous alterations to the
climate that could bring unprecedented human development reversals. "We
are issuing a call to action, not providing a counsel of despair," said
lead author, Kevin Watkins. "Working together with resolve, we can win
the battle against climate change. Allowing the window of opportunity
to close would represent a moral and political failure without
precedent in human history."
If that window is missed, temperature rises above two degrees Celsius
could see an extra 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa go hungry,
new and more frequent epidemics of mosquito-born diseases like Rift
Valley Fever and malaria, and agricultural losses of up to US$29
billion by 2060 in the region, a figure higher than the total bilateral
aid received by sub-Saharan Africa in 2005. The report notes that if
each poor person on the planet had the same energy-rich lifestyle as an
American or Canadian, nine planets would be needed to safely cope with
the pollution. In fact, the US state of Texas, with 23 million
residents, emits more CO2 than all of the 720 million residents of
sub-Saharan Africa put together, according to the report.
Faced with these stark differences, the authors note that critical
global emission cuts should not undermine efforts to get basic energy
services to the poor. The world's richest countries have a historic
responsibility to take the lead in balancing the carbon budget by
cutting emissions by at least 80 percent by 2050, says the report, in
addition to supporting $86 billion in annual global investment in a
substantial international effort to protect the world's poor.
Current evidence points to a direct link between climate change and
increased risk of climate disasters like floods and droughts, and the
overwhelming majority of people affected live in developing countries.
The report's authors note that on average, between 2000 and 2004, one
in 19 people living in the developing world was affected by a climate
disaster each year, compared to one person in 1,500 for OECD countries.
OECD is the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development,
with 25 out of 30 member countries being described as "high-income" by
the World Bank.
Focusing on the 2.6 billion people surviving on less than US$2 a day,
the report authors warn forces unleashed by global warming could stall
and then reverse progress that has been built up over generations. The
breakdown of agricultural systems as a result of increased exposure to
drought, rising temperatures and more erratic rainfall could leave up
to 600 million more people facing malnutrition; an additional 1.8
billion people facing water stress by 2080; displacement through
flooding and tropical storm activity of up to 332 million people in
coastal and low-lying areas; and emerging health risks, with up to an
additional 400 million people facing the risk of malaria.
In some countries, increased frequency of droughts means that women are
walking greater distances to fetch water, often ranging from 10 to 15
kilometers a day, according to the report. Along with posing greater
personal security risks for women, it also keeps young people,
especially girls, out of schools and imposes an immense physical burden
- a plastic container filled with 20 liters of water weighs around 20
The report calls on developed countries to support a new global
investment of at least $86 billion annually, or 0.2 percent of the OECD
countries' combined gross domestic product (GDP), in adaptation efforts
to climate-proof infrastructure and build the resilience of the poor to
the effects of climate change.
Dr. Abdul-Karim al-Arhabi, Deputy-Prime Minster of Yemen for Economic
Affairs and Minister of Planning and International Cooperation,
confirmed that Yemen has moved forward to achieve good values in the
human development index (HDI) and to improve both regionally and
internationally. "Environment issues receive national and international
attention since they are related to continuing development issues. More
than 100 public and private institutions have been established to
represent Yemen's attention to the environment," he said.
The Minister of Water and Environment, Dr. Abdul-Rahman al-Eryani,
warns of climate change and calls upon developed countries to reduce
emissions. He also urges people to save water, protect soil, support
farmers and use the best technological means to reduce emissions. Dr.
al-Eryani predicted that Yemen will be one of the world's countries
which will be most negatively affected by climate change.

We set this up on flat ground until they got used to it, and now, we have it on the top of the hill and they have a longer, thrilling ride. Best ages are from 2-6, and, with many children, instead of purchasing a 2nd car, the children wait their turn on numbered poly-spots(circles)at the bottom of the coaster. It is organized and fair. My children are 41/2 and 16 months, love this ride and their friends do too! * It was easy to assemble. Just don't forget to put washers on both ends of the screws!!!

Bought this for my son's 3rd birthday; took longer to assemble than to give birth to him (and probably more painful); the parts were the wrong size (the nuts and bolts didn't match up; the bolt went right through the plastic hole - needed to add washers to keep it together); needed 3 trips to the hardware store; none of the holes were pre-drilled, so that added to the time and frustration; once assembled, it's a fun toy, but the set-up wasn't worth it

About Me Handyman
The shipping costs were a great bargain! Still can't believe I paid so little to ship such a large item! I love the extreme roller coaster! Haven't had it long enough to rate its weather resistance and sturdiness over time! Was very pleased with timeliness of shipping and my husband said it wasn't too difficult to assemble !
So much fun!

About Me Novice
Our daughter can't get enough of this coaster! When I saw this product I knew she would love it and I was right. After every ride she wants more! The only con is how difficult it is to get her back in the house!
Great toy

I bought this for my grandsons (age 2 & 4). It was easy to assemble, only took about 20 minutes. The boys love this coaster. They spend hours riding it, and all there friends really enjoy it also.
Great product.

About Me Do-It-Yourself, Professional
My wife and I bought this for our youngest son on his 2nd birthday. He has enjoyed it from day one. The coaster was shipped in 3 large boxes. The instructions were very easy to follow and the pieces were super easy to assemble. I had this completely put together and my son was riding it in less than an hour including appying the sticker decals. It is very safe and easy for my son to push the cart back up the ramp to the top, get seated in the cart, and then push himself down the ramp. My older son is 7 yrs and enjoys riding it also. This is a must for children to have in the backyard as it provides lots of excitement, exercise, and helps to build critical coordination skills. A great value for the price.
This was a hit
By Cool Dad
from St. Louis, mo
We use it in our basement. Need at least 30 feet of space and we still had to use pillows and blankets to stop it going. The kids love it.
Great Fun For The Little Ones!
By Buggy

My 2 year old grandson loves this coaster! Was led to believe it would be hard to build, but his parents didn't haveany problem. It is great to hear him shriek with glee and see him ride it over and over. A bit expensive, but seeing how much he enjoys it, that's okay!
This is a great product
