Aims, they are a blessing on long car trips. There are learning games and they do show kids how to follow directions and learn from their mistakes. We set limits on where and how long they can play them but I think they are great. Owen and Olivia chat back and forth on theirs--Owen continues to learn to write and improve his sentence structure. Not to mention practice reading skills.

I didn't expect very much from France after all the controversy this week, but really.
At least it's SA, who I can be happy about winning.

Yeah it doesn't look good for them. Two goals down and red-carded, yikes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh msbelle, Strega has a good point. You may actually find better rates looking for health insurance on the open market as rates vary substantially region to region.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
RSA would need -- I think it's a 5-goal differential to advance; as much as I like to see them with a great shot of winning this game, another Portugal - NKor level blowout seems really unlikely, and I'd hate to wish it on any team. It's been really hard to watch France go down this hard day after day.

Well, in a sense, it is their due after the whole Thierry Henry scandal. And then the craziness of this week. It is all quite shameful.

I thought Steward's slam on team England last night was golden.

Aims - benefits are they keep a child occupied/absorbed out of the house. I know I have the extreme issues of a child who is behavior dramatically worsens with these internalizing activities. The thing is, it is hard to tell if your child will be ok with it, or develop issues with it. Mac is MUCH better if he has his iPod to occupy himself while we are out. I really wish I could turn back time and have it be that I had just brought along comic books on the subway. Both of those are self-involved activities, but they are not engrossing in the way the games are. They have breaks and end points where a lot of games (specifically the adventure ones) just keep going and going with never ending harder to obtain goals.

Yeah, I was thinking of the Henry fallout and the craziness as part of their downfall, not just their on-field performance. Just one bit of sordidness after another.
