WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN KEEP YOU OUT OF COLLEGE, by Don Dunbar and G. F. Lichtenberg

In the tradition of The Gatekeepers, a veteran counselor provides the missing key to the college admissions door with insider wisdom about how admissions committees think, and the thirteen fatal mistakes that can ruin an application.

When Don Dunbar was a college counselor for Phillips Academy, Andover, in the 1980s, he got to sit in on the meetings where the nation’s top colleges decided whether to admit his students. Prep school counselors no longer get this kind of astonishing access, but in those meetings, Don discovered a little-known key to college admissions that still holds true today. Many applicants look alike, based on their grades, test scores, and extracurricular activities, so colleges want something more: They want applicants with character.

Most of us know what character means, but not in the way that admissions officers define it. Admissions officers have tremendous integrity, and to them, character equals what a student will contribute to his or her community, good or bad, over the next four years. Don explains the concept of character in terms that high school students can understand, using examples from his thirty years of working with kids. He shows readers how to avoid the thirteen fatal character mistakes that even the brightest students make when applying to college and democratizes the admissions process, making his advice available to all students.

THE MEGASAURUS, by Thomas Weck and Peter Weck

What's the King of Beandom to do? The tiny, multi-colored bean-shaped bears of Beandom are under attack by a monster. Even the King's wisest advisors seem unable find a solution. Who will save Beandom? Can an ordinary tiny bear step forward with a plan that works? Welcome to Beandom! It's a great place to visit. Or, it will be just as soon as we get rid of that pesky monster! The message of the story is: Follow your convictions even when others think differently. In the series entitled The Lima Bear Stories, as the basic characters appear and reappear, each has a distinct personality that shines through in every story. While the children have no idea what twists and turns the story may take, they come to know the characters and have a pretty good idea of how they are likely to act in different situations and settings. In essence, the children become friends with the characters. There is a form of bonding that develops. Each story carries an important overriding message (such as courage, tolerance, honesty), and we believe that this bonding creates a more profound understanding and appreciation of the message.

Miche Bag

Miche Bag: Miche bags are an innovation brought to life by the combined talents of Annette Cavaness and Michelle Romero. The original concept for the purses was born when Michelle spilled something on a favorite handbag, and she pondered how convenient it would be to simply change the outside of the stained bag. With her creative spirit, Michele took apart what might have been a ruined bag, and instead revitalized it with a new removable cover.

Her creativity paid off when she partnered with business savvy friend Annette Cavaness, who had experience as an accessories buyer. The two women created Miche Bags, a company that has become popular for its fun and functional design.See www.michebag.com for more details.

Project June Bug, by Jackie Minniti - "Project June Bug goes to the head of the class. Smart, funny, poignant, and relevant, it captures the best and worst of a system where no child should be left behind." - George Anastasia, reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer

“With focus and characters as mainstream as Main Street, this fine novel is far more a great read than message tale.”—Tom Corcoran, author of Air Dance Iguana, Jimmy Buffett-The Key West Years, and Key West in Black and White Life is good for Jenna Bianchi. She’s just started her second year of teaching English at Morrison High School, a job she loves. She has a pet parrot with attitude. And there’s a handsome math teacher who wants to be more than just friends. But everything changes when a defiant, disruptive tenth grader walks into her classroom. With a smart mouth and a swagger to match, Michael Tayler is a problem for Jenna from the very first day. His school record screams troublemaker, and Jenna wonders if the new year is already doomed. But when she reads Michael’s first poetry assignment, she recognizes it for what it truly is: a cry for help. Michael’s presence sets into motion a chain of events that turns Jenna’s perfect life upside-down and threatens to destroy her career. Faced with a challenge unlike anything she’s ever known, Jenna commits to doing what no one has done for Michael Tayler before.

More Tales of Seamus The Sheltie - As a follow-up to his first book, The Adventures of Seamus the Sheltie, James Beverly has created another wonderful way for parents to connect with their children and also provide them with important life lessons. Beverly is obviously well qualified and experienced in knowing the scary challenges of childhood and has paved a compassionate way for learning and encouragement. The very act of reading out loud is a bonding experience for parent and child and the stories of Seamus are rooted in the realities of life tempered with great imagination and fun. Beverly also exhibits an obvious love of dogs and an uncommon understanding of their behavior and what they add to our lives. The basis of the stories in Beverly's new book, More Tales of Seamus the Sheltie, come from parents who, no doubt, have struggled with the issues, values and lessons that lie at the heart of each story. The focus of both books is that understanding is an antidote for fear and leads to a kinder world. The wise parent will recognize that their children will encounter many and perhaps all of the challenges and value issues found in the books. The Seamus stories allow the imaginative parent to be proactive in preparing their children and giving them tools to deal with these challenges and make right decisions. James Beverly uses a dialect for his hero, Seamus, which is endearing and fun. Dialect in a book can be an obstacle but Beverly's is easy to master by the adventurous parent or even older sibling or grandparent. The discussion guide at the end of the book is concise but complete enough to guide a parent in a discussion. He achieves the right balance between explanation and brevity.

Fuzion Electron from NextSport

Scooters are the latest craze with today's kids, and they're being spotted everywhere - zipping down neighborhood streets, zamming through university quads and zinging on half pipes at skate parks.

2-wheels to 4-wheels, and a 360 degree rotation - that's the big thing right now in ultimate free-style scooting - that's what kids want - and that's why they're asking for a scooter in NextSport's Fuzion series, known for their 4 wheels.

And parents are answering the call, planning on buying them for their kids this holiday season. Why? Because four wheels are safer than two, and with a MSRP of $59.99 for the Fuzion Electron, scooters are cheaper than high performance bikes or high tech gadgets that quickly become outdated.

They also love the fact that these scooters have a first-of-its-kind innovative folding mechanism (the long vertical handlebar folds down), so you can fit all of the kids, their friends - and their scooters - in the car. Try doing that with bikes.

Key facts:

Safety:

• 4 wheels, instead of the traditional 2, allow for greater stability.
• Fusion Steering Technology (FST) stabilizes the rider by forcing the wheels flushed to the ground when in motion.
• "Breaks" are based on the momentum of the rider, similar to skateboards, as opposed to reliance upon an actual mechanism.
• Ages 7 and up.

Performance:

• 360-degree rotation for maximum trick execution - allows riders to perform deep carving turns, controlled slides, skate park transition flows and maximum air.
• High-performance features trigger kids' imagination and challenge their technical limits.

Design:

• Compact and lightweight aluminum frame and comes in cool eye-catching silver, blue, black and bright green colors.
• First-of-its-kind innovative folding mechanism for usage versatility.

Affordability:

• A MSRP of $59.99 means parents can give one to each kid and still have money left for other gifts. See http://www.fuzionscooter.com for more details.

Why Positive Thinkers Have The Power: How to Use the Powerful Three-Word Motto to Achieve Greater Peace of Mind by, Ken Bossone - For ten years Ken Bossone, president of the World Positive Thinkers club, has been researching and writing about what the main ingredient is that all winners possess. Ken wanted to find out and write about what drove winners on in the face of defeat and adversity. Was it what they did or thought? Was it goals? Having goals is nothing new. Man has achieved goals since the beginning of time. Was it hard work? Everyone knows you must work hard to achieve goals. After all, the only thing that sits its way to success is a hen. Was it intelligence? Many brilliant people wind up on skid row, as Ken has interviewed them there. Was it wealth? Many wealthy people are unhappy and wind up committing suicide. And so the search went on. Then one night Ken watched a middleweight championship boxing match between Sugar Ray Leonard and his opponent, and after hearing the words Leonard's opponent uttered Ken realized the words were the key to the secret. It hit Ken like a lightning bolt.

Kissaluvs Wipes
Stretch Terry

• Custom-knit in the USA to our specifications.
• Knit terry, unlike woven terry, has built-in stretch. Not as much as the fleece, but enough for a little extra "oomph!" in sizing.
• 100% cotton loops. A touch of poly (10%) in the base adds durability, and knit construction ensures that only cotton touches baby's skin.
• Thicker, heavier, more absorbent than cotton fleece.
• Pre-shrunk.
• The Kissaluvs terry is "burley terry," a rugged, absorbent terry heavier than most. It's not stiff and scratchy, but neither is it short-loop and sparse like baby-terry. This is serious terry for maximum absorbency! We add no softeners to the fabric, as they would only wash out and inhibit initial absorbency anyway.
• Unbleached fabric has a natural beige color, slightly darker than the cotton fleece

Uniquely spaced adjustable wing snaps provide numerous options depending on your babies build for a custom fit. The simple design is especially popular with dads and babysitters! 90% unbleached cotton, 10% polyester. See http://www.kissaluvs.com for more styles and information.
