			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Do you always have a rhythm in your heart and a dance beat in your feet?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Looking for a way to have fun with your children while teaching them an important lesson in geography? Then the latest edition of the popular game Monopoly, Monopoly Here and Now World Edition is exactly what you’re looking for.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span id="more-101"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Monopoly Here and Now World Edition was developed in response to the public’s desire for a game that reflects the growing popularity of world travel. In fact, Monopoly Here and Now World Edition is the first international edition of the game ever released. Instead of the traditional properties of Monopoly games past, Monopoly Here and Now World Edition properties are comprised of cities from around the world.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">The makers of Monopoly Here and Now World Edition, Hasbro, held a worldwide vote where people could cast their ballots for cities they wanted to see included in the new game. After nearly six million votes were cast, Montreal won the opportunity to become the game’s most expensive property, originally held by Boardwalk in the original Monopoly game. Riga, Latvia was second and becomes the second most expensive property, known in traditional Monopoly games as Park Place. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">In addition, voters also wrote in cities that they wanted to see included in the game. The cities with the most write-in votes, Taipei, China, and Gdynia, Poland, were placed in the Monopoly Here and Now World Edition as the least expensive properties. Monopoly Here and Now World Edition updated everything on the game board, including the Community Chest and Chance cards to reflect different famous events held in cities around the world. For example, people might visit Spain for the Running of the Bulls or New York City for New Year’s Eye.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Monopoly Here and Now World Edition is a great game that families can play together and never get tired of playing. The updated properties, matched with the updated Community Chest and Chance cards, give kids the chance to learn about interesting cities and events around the world that they wouldn’t have heard about otherwise. After playing, kids can even take the time to research more into the different cities and expand their horizons in more ways than one. Make fun and learning a priority in your family with the new Monopoly Here and Now World Edition.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial;">One of the most important things in life is literacy. In fact, one of the most important things your children will learn to do during their lives is learn to read. Learning to read well at an early age is truly the key for a bright future. Studies show that children who learn to read at an early age are more likely to become successful students throughout their educational careers.</span></p>

One way is to start reading to your children as early as possible. Another way is to give them learning tools that aid their development and understanding of language. One of these vital tools is the </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Pink Tag™ Reading System <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">from LeapFrog<em>. </em></span></span></p>

When the Tag reader touches the pages, it recites the words on the page, helping children learn the sound of the word while correlating that word to its written form.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Pink Tag™ Reading System <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">from LeapFrog works with special Tag reader-enabled book. The Tag reader has a tiny camera on the tip that looks at the images of the words and recites them back to the child. The best part? The amazing technology behind the </span>Pink Tag™ Reading System <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">from LeapFrog allows it to adjust to a child’s level, allowing the child to easily understand what is being read back to them.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">With school, work, extracurricular activities and social lives, families barely have time to see each other, let alone spend quality time together. If that describes your family and you’re looking for a way to bring the whole family together for some fun, then make sure you pick up a Nintendo Wii for a Christmas gift this year. The Nintendo Wii is an excellent way for families to spend quality time together under the guise of playing video games.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"><span id="more-95"></span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">The Nintendo Wii is a video game console that makes use of revolutionary motion-detecting technology to allow people to play video games without using a traditional controller. Instead, Wii players use the Wii remote, among other Wii devices, to play the game of their choice. It was released to international fanfare in 2006 and it’s been consistently sold-out from stores since. This year, Nintendo plans to increase their shipments of Wiis to keep up with the demand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It’ll be a lot easier to get your hands on a Nintendo Wii, making it the natural gift for Christmas. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">People enjoy playing with the Nintendo Wii because it brings the player into the game. Players might use the remote to actually simulate playing tennis, baseball or boxing. Or, they might use a wireless steering wheel to direct their car while playing a racing game. The Nintendo Wii really allows players to bring their imaginations into their game playing, giving them a more satisfying experience.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">That’s exactly why the Nintendo Wii is a great gift for the family this Christmas. Mom and Dad can go head to head in a bowling match while the kids compete on the race track to win the latest race. Also, the Nintendo Wii boasts a wide selection of games to purchase along with the Wii, so there’s sure to be a game that each person in the family will enjoy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">If you’re also looking ahead to your New Year’s resolutions, a Nintendo Wii is a great choice. Why? Because the recently-released Wii Fit is a platform to help people utilize the Wii to get in shape. The weight-detecting platform senses your motions while you exercise to specific Wii Fit workouts.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">The Nintendo Wii is truly the first, and only, video game platform that the whole family can enjoy. Get a Nintendo Wii for your family for the holidays this year and you’ll be sure to see an increase in quality time with your family in the upcoming year!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">A few years ago, a video game took the world by storm. With Guitar Hero, rock star wannabes all over the world could learn rock out to their favorite songs and learn to ‘play’ them by using a pretend guitar and pressing the colored buttons that match the notes on the screen. Everyone from teens to soccer moms to grandparents were playing <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Free Bird</em> or <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Carry on My Wayward</em> <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Son</em> for hours, trying to advance to the next level. Not since the invention of video games has a new product taken the world by storm like this. </span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span id="more-86"></span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">This Christmas, get ready for the next level in Guitar Hero fun with the Guitar Hero World Tour Video Game. Guitar Hero World Tour Video Game is officially the fourth installment of the Guitar Hero series and boasts more rocking ability than any of the previous three Guitar Hero games combined.</span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Guitar Hero World Tour Video Game will include the famous plastic guitar along with drums and a microphone to allow players to add percussion and vocals to their songs, creating a more dynamic rock star experience for up to four players at a time. Players can even create and record their own song creations, allowing players to show just how big of rock starts they really are. </span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Also new to the Guitar hero World Tour Video Game is the ability for players to customize their own rock star. They can pick out their character’s total appearance: everything from age to the amount of tattoos they have. Players can also play as their favorite rock star: Ted Nugent, Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Billy Corgan and Sting are among the real-life rock starts that players can choose from in the game. There will even be virtual representations of real-life music venues, ranging from places like the House of Blues to San Francisco’s AT&amp;T Park.</span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="NoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Get your family rocking this holiday season by picking up the Guitar Hero World Tour Video Game for any of the major video game consoles, including the Playstation III, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. </span></p>
