"...A modern-day fairy tale full of elves, magic bracelets, talking minks, and flying scooters, Lia Nirgad's first novel finds Layla, our heroine, freezing within her loveless marriage. After discovering a magic scooter in her back yard, she sets out to exotic otherworlds -- Alaska, Prague, Paris -- in search of the love she so desires..."

"...At this camp, kids will participate in roller hockey, capture the flag, roller basketball, roller T-ball, and whatever else you can think of. Kids aren't just limited to inline skates either: Scooters and skateboards are also welcome..."

"...The recording is also notable for guest appearances by Larry Seaman on keyboards and the late, lamented Dick Hays on French horn(!). Frontman Mike Runnels has a spanking-brand-new CD out as well -- his kiddie band Little Scooters' new one, Tippie Toe..."

"...Also, those under 18 must have a waiver on file, signed by a parent or legal guardian. No private parties, no scooters..."

"...For every lesson that he teaches, be it hockey, freestyle, or physics, he has the skates to match. Whether your interest lies in racing, hockey, or even off-road, Fritz has a pair of skates to fit, buried somewhere in the back of his skate truck, along with ramps, hockey sticks, goals, and scooters...."

"...At this camp, kids will participate in rollerhockey, capture the flag, rollerbasketball, roller T-ball, and whatever else you can think of. Kids aren't just limited to in-line skates either: Scooters and skateboards are also welcome..."

"...Maybe they're offended by Digimon because they think it's a rip-off of Pokemon. Perhaps there's a brand of scooters with particularly unappealing design elements..."

"...One cheery note in all this is the current popularity of children's motorless scooters. It's good to see children playing outdoors again, and moving around without burning fuel..."

"...That's about the best new thing I could think of. Scooters, costume dramas, and brushed aluminum all were cool, and all harking back to another era of design, which seems to be the biggest trend of all...."

"...Toy trains, the Beatles Anthology, saddle bags, scooters, new houses, and cars are all on the list. "I don't bring puppies," Santa insists..."

"...I see a little kid, shirtless, riding one of those ubiquitous black-and-white scooters. The fields are filled with simultaneous games of softball, soccer, and football..."

"...With production and playing that's top-notch but never overbearing, good songwriting that's never too cute for its own good, and Wallace's smooth versatility, Hillbilly Heights is brimming over with material that ought to make its way onto country radio rather than the Nashville machine's Tracy of the Week. A shuffle or two, some uptempo boot-scooters, and well-chosen covers of Jerry Reed and Kris Kristofferson songs make this a release to be reckoned with..."

"...Not quite as bad as our former vice-president, Dan Quayle, though. On the same trip, however, he was asked about his knowledge of Italy, only to reply that Italians ride a lot of scooters..."

"...It was so authentic that I asked my seat mate if that was a recording or her. Driving in traffic turned into a hysterical bumper car ride with the threesome somehow maneuvering their mini-scooters while in a supine position and frantically blowing head-hunter horns..."

"...Five hunky Dance Across Texas types from Waco are given a vaguely Western name, locked in a basement/studio with a copies of Steve Earle's Guitar Town and the Brooks & Dunn catalog, and unleashed on the radio scant months later. Full of pallid boot-scooters and nearly rockin' twangers espousing safe suburban values, Whatever Comes First thinks it's still 1992, and people are still line dancing..."

"...Here's a great opportunity to motor-vate folks with walking impairments. Some senior citizens and permanently disabled citizens may qualify for the Senior Wheels Program. The program makes power and manual wheelchairs, three- and four-wheeled electric scooters, walkers, canes and other medical items available for no cost to folks who qualify..."
