All I know is that my 3 year old granddaughter loves it. Her other grandmother gave her a roll of quarters for her present to accompany it. What am I doing wrong?
Anyway, she loves it and plays with it all the time according to her parents.

Vegetarian Journal
$20.00
Forget about Vegetarian Times. Vegetarian Journal is a great magazine with probably the most comprehensive nutritional information available for vegetarians and vegans. They also delve into such issues as which "mainstream" restaurants serve vegan friendly and vegetarian friendly entrees and why gelatin is not vegetarian. The focus is mainly on food and nutrition and not so much on animal rights, but it doesn't matter. Each issue is chock full of insight and information. Highly recommended reading.

Osprey Resource Astro Courier Bag (Glacier Blue)
$89.00
I got this bag last Christmas as a gift and have used it for one semester and for work this past summer, using it again this semester. I can officially say now that I love this bag! I commute by bike to school and work and once I get this bag situated on my back it doesn't budge (love the waist strap to stabilize the bag). For school I can comfortably stuff my laptop (which is not super lightweight) and two binders or a textbook and a binder plus my water bottle and lunch/snacks. The bag has room for more than that but if I put much more weight in it its not as comfortable on my bike.
This bag makes it easy to stay organized: outside sleeve on the back big enough for quick access to a file folder, outside zippered pocket on the flap perfect for keys, wallet and headlamp, two outside water bottle holders, inside under the flap there is a great zippered pocket with slots to organize pens/pencils and highlighters, behind that is a larger zippered pocket which I find works well to hold larger items like snacks and power cables, in the main compartment you can stuff two or three notebooks/binders or textbooks, there is also an inside mesh pocket to keep smaller notebooks or files, the padded laptop sleeve is great at keeping my laptop protected and it also has a small divider pocket that holds files.
Another great feature is the back outside zipper that allows you access to the main compartment of the bag without having to unhook the outside front flap. This makes it easy to pull your laptop out for airline security. The bag also does a good job of keeping everything inside dry too. I am not sure if its actually 100% waterproof but I have walked/biked in the rain with it and everything inside stayed dry. This bag has held up great too, I have used it since last Christmas and it still looks brand new.
My only small complaint with this bag is the position of the cellphone pocket on the shoulder strap. I carry the bag on my right shoulder which puts the cellphone pocket under my right arm towards on my back. This makes it tricky to access my cell easily since I have to bend my arm at an odd, uncomfortable angle to get my phone out of the pocket. Its not in the way or uncomfortable at all just hard to get the phone out of the pocket. I tried moving the pocket to the other side of the bag but then it sits under the adjustable shoulder strap and doesn't sit flat. I would be better if it were designed to be movable anywhere on the shoulder strap so that I could move it to have easier access. It has to be attached to the loops at the base of the strap near the body of the bag. The pocket itself is a nice padded design just wish it was could be placed differently.
Other than this small inconvenience this is a great, sturdy commuter bag that comfortably allows you to carry a ton of stuff in a well organized way. Did I mention I love this bag!
