There are a number of things that are important for a child to learn. Sometimes, we forget the enormity of what it must feel like to be young and to not understand how to read or even how to count. The average parent doesn't have the educational background necessary to help their children to learn all about numbers, which is why many find themselves seeking out counting books as a way to help their children learn how to recognize and count numbers. There are a variety of different types of books to choose from for those who are looking for a way to help their child learn all about numbers.

The story of Ten Little Ladybugs is all about helping a child learn how to start at one and go to ten. Each page has a little ladybug on it, but instead of just being flat ladybugs, these ladybugs pop off of the page and look real.

They start with ten kisses on "teeny tiny toes" and move on to "nine laughing kisses on busy, wriggly feet." As the story goes on, there are more and more kisses for the baby to receive, each helping the baby to drift off slowly to dreamland.

The mother and her five children start in the market by counting up the items that they need. They then bring them home and start cooking, and they later count the people who are coming to sit down for dinner, creating a beautiful story and a wonderful way for children to learn about numbers and counting.
|I Spy Two Eyes: Numbers in Art: Children love playing "I Spy," and Lucy Micklethwait has used that fun game in her book, I Spy Two Eyes: Numbers in Art. This story is all about looking for numbers of objects in artwork. On every page is a fine painting, and on the opposite page is a list telling the reader what to look for. For instance, they may be asked to look for one fly, two eyes, and seventeen birds. Parents and children can then have fun finding those specific things on the painting, creating hours of fun (and possibly frustration) while searching for the right object!.
|Duck & Goose, 1, 2, 3: Duck and Goose became extremely popular in their debut, Duck & Goose. In Duck & Goose, 1, 2, 3, the duo are back, this time with a few friends, in order to help children learn all about the numbers from one to ten. They've brought along Bluebird and Thistle to help teach children about numbers in a very entertaining way. The bright colors in the illustration and the fun story and rhymes that always accompany Duck and Goose are designed to keep children enthralled for a very long time and to help them to understand all about numbers.
|My First Counting Book: Families have trusted the Little Golden Books for generations, and they know that the stories published under that brand are going to keep the attention of children and will delight them. My First Counting Book is no exception. This counting story is all about a farm and how to count up to the number ten. The story has a bouncing rhythm to it and is easy to follow along with even for young children. It has become the favorite of many adults and children and is destined to not only make children smile, but to help them learn about numbers as well.
|Ten Little Dinosaurs: What happens with ten little dinosaurs? Children who love dinosaurs will be delighted to find out. The tale of Ten Little Dinosaurs is considered to be a novelty book, as it has plastic "googly" eyes that are fun for children to play with. The learning inside of the story, however, is all there, as the story starts with ten little dinosaurs and, much like the ten little monkey song that most young children know, something happens to every little dinosaur, creating a fun story that is enjoyable and will leave children with a giggle every time. That is a great way to teach counting.
|The Icky Bug Counting Book: What young child doesn't love reading about icky bugs? The Icky Bug Counting Book by well-known children's author Jerry Pallotta and illustrator Ralph Masiello is all about learning numbers thanks to a few icky bug friends. While the story does help children learn about numbers, it also introduces them to plenty of different types of insects. There's also a hidden secret about the book, and parents and children who read it backwards will discover exactly what that secret happens to be.

"My work reflects on our postindustrial consumer society," says Josephine Meckseper. "It's a window into our time, an archeology of the present." To that end, the German-born artist examines the link between politics and capitalist culture—in videos, photographs, installations, and restagings of beauty ads. Where her slick vitrines filled with lacy lingerie and chrome car rims point to our fetishization of objects, the two life-size oil pumps that she built and in March installed near Times Square—"the epicenter of American entertainment propaganda," as she puts it—suggest that we're a society defined by our control of natural resources. Not surprisingly, Meckseper, 47, likewise views fashion as a mirror of a moment, rather than as a mode of self-expression. "Time is really the greatest stylist," says the artist, whose next New York solo show opens at Andrea Rosen gallery in February 2013. Meckseper's own minimalist look is composed mostly of dark jeans and sharp jackets given to her by designer friends like Cynthia Rowley and Johan Lindeberg. But she'd ideally like to sport something even more unassuming: "My father, who is also an artist, used to have blue factory suits custom-tailored to wear in the studio," she says. "I wouldn't mind a uniform for myself."

Reversing Field
Examining Commercialization, Labor, Gender, and Race in 21st Century Sports Law
Publication Year: 2010
Reversing Field invites students, professionals, and enthusiasts of sport—whether law, management and marketing, or the game itself—to explore the legal issues and regulations surrounding collegiate and professional athletics in the United States. This theoretical and methodological interrogation of sports law openly addresses race, labor, gender, and the commercialization of sports, while offering solutions to the disruptions that threaten its very foundation during an era of increased media scrutiny and consumerism. In over thirty chapters, academics, practitioners, and critics vigorously confront and debate matters such as the Arms Race, gender bias, racism, the Rooney Rule, and steroid use, offering new thought and resolution to the vexing legal issues that confront sports in the 21st century.

The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor Forum
Gerald Pollack
Ever wonder… What mysteries lurk in the depths of a
glass of water? What makes the wispy clouds of vapor
rising from your cup of hot coffee? Or the
puffy white clouds hovering in the sky? Why do the
bubbles in your pop get bigger the longer you wait?
And why don't your joints squeak?
Questions such as those have remained unanswered
not only because they have seemed complex, but also
because they require that scientists pursue a
politically risky domain of science: water research.
Scientists trying to understand the "social behavior"
of H20 do so at grave risk to their reputations and
livelihoods because water science has suffered
repeated fiascos. Researchers have been virtually
tarred and feathered.
The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor Forum
Gerald Pollack
The Fourth Phase of Water responds to that challenge. It answers the questions above
and many more, in a paradigm-shifting volume that resembles an "illustrated
children's book."
"The most interesting science book I've ever read. It has shown me that it's still possible
to establish something genuinely new in science." Zhiliang Gong, University of Chicago.
"The most significant scientific discovery of this century. What strikes me above all is
the elegant simplicity of [Pollack's] experimental approach. Many of the experiments can
be done on the kitchen table, and you don't even need a microscope to see the results."
Mae-Wan Ho, Author, Living Rainbow H2
O; Director, Inst. of Science and Society, London.
"Dr. Pollack is one of the pioneers in this field, and his discoveries can be expected to
have important implications." Brian Josephson, Nobel Laureate, Cambridge University.

So, my question is this. Would you still buy this new M4
512GB drive knowing about this issue, hoping the good people at
"Crucial" get this problem sorted out in a timely manner?
My new Portege R830-ST8300 is only gonna have room for this
one drive. I plan to travel abroad for a month with this and wanted the added
capacity for my pictures. I don't want to lug around an external drive if I don't
have to. Traveling light for a month is going to be creative enough on its own.
So, would you do it? Should I do it?
I certainly have not had a problem with my M4 or my C300's. However I have done most of the recommended tweaks prior to installing the M4 when my C300 was the main set of drives in my system.
I think you are on the right track for a great value proposition in speed and cost with the M4.
So what would be the recommended tweaks ?
I don't think there are any that are especially relevant anymore.
Pretty much all I do is turn off hibernate to save on disk space. But I have a desktop. I spose hibernate might be useful on a laptop.
Did a user help you? Say thanks by giving Kudos!
How do I know what memory to buy?
Still need help? Contact Crucial Customer Service
Remember to regularly backup your important data!
no tweaks needed imho,
I did it. I just got the tracking info from the egg. Got the tracking info from Toshiba Direct too. I have the feeling next week is gonna feel a bit like x-mas.
I have two laptops coming that I need to put new drives in. One new ram in too. I also got a few goodies for my desktop box. Woo hoo. I'll be in full geek mode by next week.. lol
So I have a question about this cable thats coming with this drive. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8
Will I be able to use this cable with the smaller competitors brand ssd I bought for my wifes laptop?
Will this prevent me from having to make a new restore discs to reload everything with?

A summer day in London by PajunenWatch
Geez, even in the summer, London's cloudier than a fairy floss convention. Though I suppose knowing the weather we get in Melbourne, maybe that's something I shouldn't complain about.
So I'm led to believe, according to the comments, that the wheel is the London Eye in which case, that was well done making it the centre of attention. One could only imagine the view from way up top as you spot the cargo boats a-sailing, the stadium in the distance and the various structures that once loomed over you. Certainly catch an exhilarating feeling from it...
What really does stand out to me though is the clouds in the shot. The way they look in this picture (no over-bright lights, no noticeable graining, or other out-of-place issues), not to mention how they patterned out, just adds that special something to the finished product. It's as if we're getting a view of heaven from the very Eye itself.
I gotta say, you've done a splendid job, so I implore that you just keep it up.
That's the moment what I saw about this picture! KEEPER!
* Congratulations on the Daily Deviation dear friend Pajunen! Fantastic work! Featured in Special-Groups in folder Featured nº 4. (Best works of the group).
Perdón, carpeta nº 1.

Post Office To Stop Delivering Letters On Saturday Except For Packages
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service says it plans to stop delivering mail on Saturdays. The cut is scheduled to be announced later today. It would start in August and save the financially struggling Postal Service about $2 billion annually. The Postal Service will continue delivering packages six days a week.

Approximately 240 people live and work in East Meadows Village, a sleepy hamlet. If you need to expand your search beyond East Meadows Village, one suitable alternative not too far away is East Dallas.
Schools and School Districts
The schools your children attend will be largely determined by where you rent. They may be eligible to attend a school in the Mesquite Independent School District. Schools near the apartments in East Meadows Village are Mesquite Academy, McDonald Middle School and Range Elementary School. It's a good rule of thumb to talk with school districts in the area to get the final word on what schools serve the apartments for rent in the area you are most interested.
Mesquite Academy, a Mesquite Independent School District high school, has the best college-acceptance rate and student-teacher ratio in the district.
With lower student-teacher ratios and fewer overall students than Mesquite Independent School District, the Dallas Independent School District offers residents 150 elementary schools, 40 middle schools and 35 high schools. Dallas Independent School District has more blue ribbons and a higher Great Schools score than the Mesquite Independent School District.

I think they are Broadlands - I just got mine after a minor DHL debacle and the heel looks identical. Mine look wonderful and I don't see any flaws. They smell like fresh glue! Hats off to the guys at Broadlands for delivering a great product on time. I do wish they included a shoe bag but that isn't a big deal.
I like the design but I think a higher vamp would be preferred for me to be honest, would make them a bit more versatile I think. At the least if I got another pair I'd ask them not to pad the "tongue".
Sooo, what socks do I wear with these & tuxedo - your basic black (silk) dress sock? How would you rock these with jeans or other pants?
Also should I put some kind of shoe tree in these? I don't want to kill the quilting but I don't want these to lose shape either.
About sizing, I got 7.5F UK - they are still a bit narrow for me, I got some wide dogs, but the overall fit is pretty good. I guess my right foot is a little shorter than my left though! I normally wear a size 41 or 41.5 shoe so these run just a little small I guess.

I just recieved a pair of black velvet broadlands slippers for a black tie event I have comming up. I emailed them stating I was a size 43 in EU sizing, and asked what UK size would fit me. They reccomended a 8.5 UK, so I ordered. When they came they looked noticably smaller, tried them on and they were very tight compared to my other shoes of similar slip on style (loafers). I emailed them and they insisted that they would stretch, not once did they suggest a return or exchange. Been wearing them for about two weeks now, still very uncomftorbale. I reluctantly ordered another pair in a size up, should arrive sometime next week. They're still resonably cheap at around $180 shipped US, so i figured it would still work out to be more cost effective than locally buying from S&W or Del toro. I just hope the size up does not cause more problems than its solving. Other than that, the quality is very nice, and once I get the size nailed, I can see myself ordering more.

+1 on 1/2 size up.
I ordered Opera Pumps from them a couple of years back. They were very responsive to my emails and also emailed me with the progress. I did an outline of my foot as well and gave them my US size.
I find that the pumps are a bit snug (not tight). For me it is ok as I have low arches and slippers/loafer flop a little on me. The material of the shoe is the thinner patent and is very pliable. I only wear the pumps 4 times a year and they are soft so its no issue. If I had to do it over again I would have gone a 1/2 size up.

I ordered opera pumps from them a while back and there were sizing issues; but not that they were too small at first but because they were too big! The thing with pumps is that they are meant to fit closer, etc so now I advise people to order a size or two down when ordering opera pumps (or indeed try a pair at C&J etc to find the correct size before ordering).
Here is my full blog on them:

Ive been been trying to get information about a this brand in Nashville. Does anyone have any experience with this brand http://www.doriengray.com/shoes/? I suppose they're new because I haven't heard much of anything about them. They claim the slippers are made in Norwich. Are there any other shoe makers in Norwich other than broadland? I'm thinking about buying a pair if its a strong chance their made by Broadland...

There is Bowhill & Elliott in Norwich, producer of slippers under their own name, as well as for numerous shoe manufacturers under their own name.
The chap who founded Broadland was for many years in a managerial position at B&E.

'Open Sesame': Unlocking Alibaba's Wealth (Update 1)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Alibaba's new $586 million, 18% stake in Sina's
The value of an Alibaba IPO has been estimated to be worth as much as $100 billion, soaring from $45 billion. Analysts widely predict that the IPO will take place as soon as year-end as the company enters the final stages of preparing for a debut.
Eric Jackson, president and founder of Ironfire Capital, a Naples, Fla.-based hedge fund that invests in Chinese stocks, believes that after China's biggest e-commerce giant becomes public, one of the key assets it could snap up is the rest of Sina, benefiting the Internet portal's shareholders.
By investing in Weibo, Alibaba has already done the job of virtually unlocking the value of Sina's Weibo property: over $3 billion, which is almost the entire market value of Sina, rendering the stock grossly undervalued, essentially at zero dollars, according to Jackson: "I'm long Sina because I think investors will realize the price gap."
With a full-on acquisition, "they're hitching their wagon to a giant who also hates Tencent like they do." Tencent is China's largest online gaming and social networking company, and Sina is positioning itself to be a formidable rival to Tencent's WeChat social messaging service.
Prior to the Weibo investment, Alibaba barely had any exposure to social media. But by joining forces with Weibo, with its 500 million users and potential to become the " Facebook
Ryan Jacob, chairman of Jacob Asset Management and manager of the Jacob Internet Fund
Randy Warren, CIO at Warren Financial Service in Exton, Pa. said that a carve-out or partial IPO of Weibo in which Sina retained a 20% to 25% stake would "make a lot of sense."
"Sina just pulled in a lot of extra money into their coffers by selling a stake to Alibaba ... they would probably still retain some ownership in that public company so they would have even more money coming into their balance sheet," while being able to focus on its core businesses, he said.
Brian Frank, portfolio manager at New York-based Frank Capital, said that shareholders of Yahoo!
Warren said that handset makers are also watching closely for a Weibo IPO, as they have taken a great interest in social networking because it drives traffic to mobile devices.
"The handset makers are probably doing exactly that right now, trying to figure out exactly what this is worth to them," said Warren.

You might remember the take-out post we did last month on Sombra Mexican Kitchen, the new upscale Mexican place at The Township in Ridgeland. At the close of that post I said, "I can't wait to try Sombra again, dining in!"
The take out experience featured in that post was a good one, especially considering they had only been open one full day, but I wanted a true, in-house experience. When my mom sent me a text asking if I wanted to eat with her and some other folks at Sombra for supper, I jumped at the opportunity!
This return visit was only about two weeks ago, so although Sombra is probably still ironing out a few kinks, they've had time to get into a decent groove. I was the first of our party of five to arrive, so I went ahead and put my name on the short waiting list. "About five minutes," the hostess told me.
The rest of our party filtered in closely behind me. We were all sitting in the waiting area catching up on one another's days when the hostess called us to be seated. The wait was actually closer to 15 minutes, but good company made the time fly. The waiting area is nice and fairly large, and the bar is nearby, so even a long wait wouldn't be so bad!
After we got settled in at our table, our waitress came over to make her introduction. Her name was Dominique, and I must say, she is one of the best servers I've had in a while! She kept a lot of waters and chip bowls full!
Chips & Drinks
Speaking of chips… We gobbled up some of Sombra's seasoned chips, fresh chunky salsa, and a bowl of their delectable cheese dip as if we hadn't eaten in a year! As we got busy with the chips, we glanced over the menu. Since I'd heard frequent mention of how good their margaritas are, I had to try one. They have several types, but I went with The Township Margarita. All of the Sombra margaritas are made with fresh-squeezed lime juice, but this particular blend had a very unique ingredient that made it a standout drink: Brazilian orange liqueur. The hint of orange added a zesty kick, making this drink anything but ordinary!
The Main Event – Entree Time!
As for entrees, everyone at the table went with something different. I ended up getting the Chicken Fajitas with the house-made Corn Tortillas. My plate, or should I say platter, was delivered looking fresh, colorful and definitely worth eating!
Everyone's food was beautiful, actually! After I finished taking pictures, I made a little fajita: fresh corn tortilla, spicy rice, a couple of strips of juicy chicken (not dry like most fajita chicken!), a couple of bell pepper strips, a smear of sour cream, some house-made guacamole, and just a tiny bit of pico de gallo. I rolled it up as best I could (I got this first one too full. That always happens!) and took a bite.
Oh… My…. Heavens….
The corn tortilla and the chicken were just divine, made even better by the condiments. The fresh flavors made me want to shout out something exciting in Mexican, er, Spanish, but I don't know enough Spanish to say anything that would've made sense! I compromised and just said "feliz cumpleanos," to myself even though it's not even close to my birthday, just because that's all I know.
I was in such a bubble of bliss that I almost forgot to ask everyone else how their food was! My mom said her Sombra Salad with Shrimp was delightful after Dominique brought her more dressing ("It started out a little dry") and dad said his Hatch Green Chile Mac & Cheese was very satisfying! The rest of the table was too busy putting away Chimichangas and Nachos to comment, but I have a feeling their food was up to par with the rest of ours.
The unique and relaxed atmosphere, the killer service, and the top notch food all made for a good evening at Sombra. I'm so glad I finally got the chance to dine in. Can't wait to go back!

Because we've grown bored with the overused dimensions of Length and Width, NVIDIA is bringing gamers a third, exciting dimension to enjoy: Depth! NVIDIA's just revealed 3D Vision for GeForce is a combination of high-tech wireless glasses, a high-power IR emitter and software that automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D experiences. Drooling yet?
3D Vision is designed to work with pure Samsung and ViewSonic 120 Hz LCD monitors, Mitsubishi DLP HDTVs, and the DepthQ HD 3D Projector by Lightspeed Design, Inc. Using either magic or advanced computer programming skillz, NVIDIA's system will work with over 300 currently available PC games, and should be compatible with many, many upcoming PC titles through NVIDIA's "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" program.
You'll also be able to use the set-up to enjoy 3D photographs of fluffy rabbits, or any other subject matter. And 3D movies! Those, too! Although no titles have been announced, I sincerely hope 3D vision will allow for fully in-depth home viewings of modern 3D flicks like Journey to the Center of the Earth, as well as classic 3D titles like 1983's Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn.
3D Vision is available now at finer computer e-tailers, and it's not crazy expensive, either. It costs $199. Read all the details at NVIDIA's official site.
I've tried out a few different 3D gaming experiences over the past few year (not NVIDIA's) and while they're kind of cool, 3D gaming is not something I just gotta have at home. People have been touting 3D as the wave of the entertainment future since the early 1950s. Every 20 years or so, Hollywood releases a bunch of 3D movies and promises that this time, it's going to work perfectly, everyone will love it, and it will become the new standard. But inevitably, everyone doesn't love it, and it's more like an engaging novelty than a serious change in the way we watch/play things. My question is: Is this time going to be different? Has the technology advanced enough to make home 3D gaming the new standard?

I haven't made any sweets for A LONG TIME (as you've noticed on the blog) so I figured it might be time to dabble in a little sweetness. These cookies are really good and really easy to make. I think they taste best when warm so make sure to warm up the leftovers before eating, if you prefer. I tried to bribe our daughter to go on the potty with these cookies and it worked! Well… it worked one time anyways. Potty training is rough!
These are grain-free, gluten-free, white sugar free, oil-free, flour free…. all sorts of FREE!!!
I found this recipe on Texanerin Baking site. I can't wait to see what else she has in store!
- 1 1/2 cups canned or cooked chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter – sunflower butter for nut-free
- 1/4 cup honey OR 1/8-1/4 cup agave, if you prefer
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch of salt if your peanut/sunflower butter doesn't have salt in it
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

But fascinated doesn't mean Leesa believes. Any more than she believes in blue fire, people who live for centuries, and kisses that can kill. But when her beloved older brother disappears after warning Leesa not to come looking for him, she is forced to consider all these and more.
She also has to figure out what to do about her mysterious new boyfriend. She knows Rave likes her a lot-so why won't he kiss her? And why is he always talking about vampires?
As Leesa draws closer to finding her brother, she faces some gut-wrenching decisions. Should she risk her mom's life trying to "cure" her? Should she continue seeing Rave, after he reveals his dangerous secret? And most terrifying of all, should she make the ultimate sacrifice-give up her humanity-to save her brother?
So she's not too happy when she begins dreaming of rotting bodies emerging from their graves, and she likes it even less when the terrifying dreams begin to come true. When objects around her start moving seemingly on their own accord, she figures that's more than enough. It's a good thing she doesn't know about the powerful vampire who has sworn vengeance against her…
