 of Winning and Losing. Here's a bit about the
 book:Integrating wisdom from politics, finance,
 genetics, neuroscience, psychology, military training,
 sports, economics, education and more, TOP DOG offers
 counterintuitive, game-changing insights into the
 nature of competition, such as:- Why the home field
 advantage in sports is just as relevant in diplomacy
 and deal-making- That women are better at judging risk,
 while men are better at ignoring it - and how this
 plays out on K Street and Wall Street- Why younger
 siblings are more competitive than first-borns, and how
 early-childhood influences shape competitive styles
 forever- That the shape of entrepreneurs' hands can be
 just as revealing as their business plans- How a single
 biochemical can predict a winner before an event has
 even begun- Why discord can be better than harmony, and
 why stars on a team do deserve special
 treatment.Special Deal - $35, includes Admission plus
 Book!!Pick up your book at Green Apple Books or at the

2. Seeking double Snap N' Go (to buy or borrow)

 Hi Folks - We still have 6 - 8 weeks before bambinos
 will arrive coming, but are on the hunt for a used Snap
 'N Go. Looking into a new car and want to see if the
 Snap N' Go will fit in the back of a Mazda 5. I know
 the big consignment sale is coming soon, but we want to
 get the car before the end of April. Anyone have one
 they're looking to sell (or let me borrow one for a
 couple hours to do a test drive)?Thanks in
 advance,Julie Legrand415-215-1234

 just as a precaution - double snap-n-go's aren't so
 great for tooling around the city (I'm being nice, they
 actually suck). They have no turning radius and are
 pretty clunky. They are OK for going to the airport
 and maybe a mall, but I thought mine was awful for
 going around and walking in the city. I got rid of it
 and got a City Select with two car seat adapters. Much
 easier to maneuver than the double snap-n-go.

 We use the Chicco KeyFit 30 with the double snap n go,
 and just transitioned to our double City Mini. Love it!

 I *love* our Bumbleride Indie Twin stroller (used
 bassinets when kids were younger - for city living, I
 found I hardly ever used our carseats and the kids were
 much more comfortable in the bassinet attachments to
 the stroller - and I was much happier not lugging
 carseats and dealing w/ buckles). When we did use the
 car, we had Graco Snugride 30s. Worked fine until they
 outgrew them length-wise around 9-10 months - we now
 have Diono Radian carseats which are fine (note no
 glowing reviews of carseats on my end - I have yet to
 find a great carseat solution).

 They're not closing, just changing management. But
 they're selling off of all of the inventory so having a
 big sale.

 We also let our twins potty train when they were ready.
 We got one little potty for each child, and had them
 pick them out, as we were told it would help to involve
 them. But this was when they were very little, maybe
 1.5-2 years old, and we just used the the little
 potties to show them how to pee.We waited until our
 twins expressed an interest. We have boy/girl twins,
 and our daughter was interested first. We bought
 underwear for both twins and tried it with them the
 same day, but our son quickly had an accident and was
 happy to go back to a diaper. Our daughter basically
 started wearing underwear with a few accidents. We
 stopped for a couple months and went back to a diaper
 until she was interested again. And then after that it
 pretty much just happened almost over night. We didn't
 really have to "potty train".We did the same thing with
 our son when he was ready, about 6 months later. She
 was trained by slightly after 3 and he was more like
 3.5.I'm glad we did it this way because it there was
 not much effort involved on our part and the children
 felt ready to do it on their own schedules. We also
 never used pull-ups as a part of the process. We only
 used them at night.
