We wanted something closer to Bern, but this was the closest (14 mi outside city) that was the cheapest (downtown Bern was averaging $400). The hotel... was easy to find. There was no parking directly in front of hotel, but plenty on other side of restaurant. The staff was nice at check-in. The hotel was "minimal" - concrete walls, no additions in room, but still nice. The bar wasn't serving food by the time we arrived, but enjoyed some sangria and coronas. And surprisingly - a good shower. Hodnocení zadal host společnosti Hotels.com 25. 11. 2012

"Not the furnace"
We have installed furnaces since 1978 have serviced almost every brand know to man I don't know how many furnaces that we have had to fix because they were installed improperly we did sell Lennox Rudd Armstrong Olsen and Colman Lennox gave us good service until the g50 models came out air switch problem induced draft motors would not last 6 months finally gave up on Lennox because of warranty issues they would not stand behind Rudd had problems with their hsi and hs780 boards Olsen never gave us problems but we lost our wholesaler so had to drop the line. Armstrong went the same way as Lennox bad air switches external drain traps they claim they have finally got that fixed Lennox also claims there's are good now to but Lennox is to ignorant to deal with so we won't handle their product but we sell tons of parts $20-30,000 a year the Coleman's have had a perfect record to date after 3 years of sales all one thing to watch for in the Colman is the small yellow plug where the plastic chimney clamps on has not got knocked off that will cause a leak and it�s hard to see the Colman has not reverted to the external trap yet. That has caused a lot of issues on Lennox and Armstrong unless it is extended also Armstrong and Lennox venting has to be done correctly ie reduce the out let on certain but loads I just wish installers could learn how to set up furnaces and read the install manual and maybe there would not be so many disheartened customers. If you are a customer with a problematic furnace and can't get results from your installer I know this is not your job but read the install manual and try finding a competent install to repair your furnace once and for all. We have fixed lots of so called junk furnaces and were able to get them running perfectly with most often some real stupid little fix that was overlooked or not known about during initial install.

"High efficiency"
Had a Coleman installed in 1987. 4 years, usage hot surface ignitor changed. 6 years, hot surface ignitor and circuit board. 7 years, the power exhaust fan made by Fasco just disintegrated. The resettable flame sensor intermittent because the reset switch plastic is cracked. After that, it went fine.

"Moblil Home furnaces are DIFFERENT than typical housing."
When posting, please indicate if your furnace/AC is being used on a standard stick built home or a mobile home. The two furnaces are totally different! Btw, you can not legally use a typical furnace in a modular/mobile home. Furnaces must be rated and approved for use in mobile homes or you may experience difficulties in operation and possible insurance claims if there are problems, such as a fire. Now, I'm interested in the furnaces used in typical stick built homes, anyone have experience with the Coleman Echelon 98% Modulating?

I just became aware of the hazards milkweed can pose to people - see this post from Monarch Watch and this forum discussion on GardenWeb. I was all ready to buy a bunch of milkweed to attract monarchs, but now I'm nervous. I injured my corneas once, and I hope never, ever, EVER to do so again. I might consider still growing some milkweed plants for monarchs, but I want to know more, first.
The only thing I've been able to find is that some milkweed plants are more poisonous than others. For example, tropical milkweed (A. curassavica) is extra toxic - better for the butterflies but more dangerous for humans. Butterfly weed (A. tuberosa) may be less toxic, as its sap is barely milky at all, and toxicity might correlate to the milkiness of the sap (the data is unclear to me).
Does anyone have further information about milkweed safety? Are there best practices for handling? Also, does anyone know the toxicity spectrum for milkweeds? I was planning to plant a bunch of swamp milkweed (A. incarnata) before I stumbled across eye safety warnings. Thank you!

Wow so you have a lot to say but that has nothing to do with my comment but ok… - Chris Brown Confirms Breakup With Rihanna: 'I Can't Be Focused On Wifing Someone That Young'
Listen correct me if I'm reaching but I feel as tho he really used her to soften his image. Like if I get the person I hurt to forgive me then everyone else will follow behind. I genuinely think he loves her but thier was a bigger picture in this for him. Cause things to me don't add up he never publicly claimed Karruche yet he felt the need to publicly break up with her for Rihanna all of that to me was bogus and un needed. Since then everyone has been watching closely. He then goes on his promo tour and every convo is about her and how much they have grownetc. then out of no where his dad makes a statement a man from my knowledge who has never spoken to the public before. Chris says nothing in responds but two days later he puts out a song basically co-signing his dad.

The Canadian Hearing Society's awareness event, "Deaf" for a Day, takes place in Ottawa on May 11, 2012
Imagine if your ability to hear was taken away from you right now. How would your life change? How would your everyday activities be altered?
Ottawa, ON (May 9, 2012) – May is Hearing Awareness Month and The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) is celebrating on May 11th by challenging local Ottawa community leaders to experience firsthand what it is like to live with hearing loss.
Representatives from our CHS funders and partners, a radio show host, a former federal Liberal party candidate and staff from both Police and Fire Services are stepping up and meeting the challenge head-on. The celebrities will have their hearing artificially blocked and be asked to complete a routine task – reporting a car accident, buying a new car, filling a prescription at a pharmacy – unable to hear, speak or write. Each one will face communication barriers they must overcome – barriers faced every day by people who are deaf, deafened and hard of hearing. When the participants return from their tasks they will share their experiences.
Almost 1 in 4 adult Canadians reports having hearing loss; it is the fastest growing disability in North America. The systemic barriers faced by this growing group of Canadians are what make "Deaf" for a Day such an important event. First hosted by the CHS Sudbury office in 1997, it is a unique and powerful call to our communities to work together to eradicate these barriers and make society fully accessible to people who are deaf, deafened and hard of hearing.
Thank you to our "Deaf for a Day 2012" supporters:
Dow Honda, Pharma Plus (Billings Bridge) Rona (Hunt Club), RA Centre (LifeFIT), Monterey Inn, Ottawa Police Services, Ottawa Fire Services, Advantage Audiovisual, Tower Management
Founded in 1940 and unique in North America, CHS offers a complete roster of essential services through a network of 28 offices. Services include a complete menu of Accessibility Services – consulting, communication devices, interpreting, CART, vcon; Counselling – employment consulting, outreach and counselling to older adults, general and mental health counselling, addiction and court diversion services, outreach to children, youth and families; Education – sign language instruction, literacy training, and information and public awareness; and holistic Hearing Healthcare – hearing testing, hearing aid sales and counselling support.

CHS Mission
The Canadian Hearing Society is the leading provider of services, products, and information that:
- remove barriers to communication
- advance hearing health
- promote equity for people who are culturally Deaf, oral deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing.
CHS Vision
A society where all people are respected; have full access to communication; and are able to participate without social, economic, or emotional barriers.

Background information on MOTAPM What are MOTAPM? Mines other than anti-personnel mines (MOTAPM) refers to anti-vehicle mines. Unlike anti-personnel mines, this type of mine is activated by a vehicle driving over it, rather than a person stepping on it. MOTAPM includes anti-tank mines. Background on MOTAPM within the CCW High level statements on MOTAPM Attached here is an article on MOTAPM by the Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva, Mr. Kassym-Jomart Takoyev. MOTAPM documents from previous CCW Meetings: Meeting of Experts on MOTAPM, 2-4 April 2012 The Meeting of Experts on mines other than anti-personnel mines (MOTAPM) took place from 2 to 4 April 2012 in Geneva. It was chaired by Colonel Jim Burke of Ireland who served as Friend of the Chair on MOTAPM. The Fourth Review Conference agreed on the following mandate for the Meeting of Experts: Decide to convene an open-ended meeting of experts, under the overall responsibility of the Chairperson-designate of the 2012 Meeting of High Contracting Parties to the Convention, of three days in 2012 to discuss further the implementation of international humanitarian law with regard to mines other than anti-personnel mines, and to submit a report to the 2012 Meeting of the High Contracting Parties to the Convention.

3. | hungry hungry hippos | ||
A children's game which is solely responsible for my eating disorder. Damn you Hungry Hungry Hippos. Damn you to hell!
1. | Hungry Hungry Hippos | ||
In a threesome, when the two females are simultaneously moving to fellate the male from either side. Named after the similarity in the way the hippos reach for the loose balls in the Hasbro / Milton-Bradley game of the same name.
The term doesn't have anything to do with the size of the girls involved; although for the purists...that'd be the most accurate portrayal. I thought the girls were going to take turns with my naughty bits, but it turned into a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
2. | Hungry Hungry Hippos | ||
When you make yourself a bath and you obtain an erection. Once an erection has been obtained, grab your penis by the bottom of the shaft and push it forward, hitting the water and bring your penis back up just as quickly as you pushed it down. Doing this motion enough times makes your penis look like the Hungry Hungry Hippo from the popular board game. Guy 1: Dude, the other night, i did the hungry hungry hippos in the bath.
Guy 2: Dude, thats fucking epic!!! Guy 1: Thats why I did it!!! |
4. | hungry hungry hippos | ||
1) a children's game that is played by drunk/high teens
2) euphemism for sex "want to play hungry hungry hippos?"
5. | hungry hungry hippos | ||
A term for excessively greedy, ravenous people. Those hungry hungry hippos are fighting over that pathetic sandwich.
6. | hungry hungry hippos | ||
A classic childrens game in which you press repeatedly on a lever to open your hippo's mouth. The goal is for your hippo to eat the most marbles. "The party would have been fun if we hadn't been forced to play drunken hungry hungry hippos."
7. | Hungry Hungry Hippos | ||
1. Hungry hungry hippos is the best best damn game ever. It's a childrens game where you have to hit a lever to open your hippos mouth so it can swallow marbles. The person with the most marbles swallowed by their hippo in the end wins. Their are four colours of hippo; pink, orange, yellow and green.
2. The term can also be used to describe greedy people. 1. The trick to winning Hungry Hungry Hippos is you just whack the lever over and over again all the way through the game. There's the slight drawback of you breaking the lever but who cares.
2. "I went to Macky D's and saw a lot of Hungry Hungry Hippos |

Good ones! My just-turned-two-year-old twins have to have these three books in the rotation every night--Green Eggs and Ham, Chugga-Chugga-Choo-Choo, and Night Night Little Pookie. They say many of the words right along with us, and I adore the end of Night Night Little Pookie (as do they--they wait for their kisses and the good night rhyme sway). It's always our grand finale. Love bedtime story routines!
ReplyDelete Strangely enough, a lot of my beloved children's stories I have only become acquainted with as an adult (the result of baby-sitting friends' children and working in a bookstore).
Favourites include: the Skippyjon Jones series (these are a great read aloud), 'Quick as a Cricket' by Don and Audrey Wood, anything by Kevin Henkes, and I am completely enamoured with Sandra Boynton's illustrations and snappy verbage.Joanna, have you checked out "Knuffle Bunny" by Mo Willems? My 1 year old loves that book. It's fun to read, too.
In addition to Brown Bear, there are a bunch of other sequels. My daughter loved "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" when she was younger.
Sandra Boynton books are also a great gift. "Moo, Bah, La-la-la" is a classic. I highly recommend it.All of Leo Lionni books- great stories with good messages, beautiful illustrations- my son loves them, and they can be read over and over without making you want to go insane. Swimmy, inch by inch, An Extrordinary Egg, Matthew's Dream, Frederick...I loved them growing up, and so does my little man!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Astrid Lindgren's books and my all time favourite is The Six Bullerby Children. My mum used to read it to us three ( me my sister and my brother) as a bedtime story over and over again and then I used to read it every Christmas by myself. It's such a happy book! Although it's more of a children's book than a baby one:)
ReplyDeletei grew up reading robert munsch books as a kid and can't wait to read them to my new niece!
some favourites include:
the paperbag princess
mrumel murmel murmel
mortimer (a story about a little boy who doesn't want to go to sleep!)
some other great books with great illustrations:
the balloon tree (my all time fave!)
jillian jiggs
by author/illustrator phoebe gilmanThese were my favourite books as a child (growing up in Switzerland):
FranziskaNo Dr. Suess?? Haha, Dr. Suess was my favorite when i was little, we hada little bookshelf that was my-sized and it was packed with Dr. Suess books...I loved all of them...
I also really liked Shel Silverstien.
Two other standouts were "The Old Man and the Afternoon Cat"--there was a little song in the beginning about how grumpy the old man was (complete with a little staff with notes) and my dad would sing it to me every time (later he told me he made it up because he didn't know how to sight-read).
The last one is called George's Store.- Susan1:43 PM
My youngest is now 14 - how time flies, but our children's favorite stories were
The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton
There's a Wocket in my Pocket by Dr. Seuss
Stellaluna by Janell Cannon
Yertle the Turtle also by Dr. Seuss
I can probably still recite most of story from memory even after all of these years. We own every single one of those books and love them too! We're starting to outgrow some of the simpler one and moving to slightly longer story books - Wheedle on the Needle (we live in Seattle), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Iggy Peck Architect, and Good Night Seattle (I think they make others for different cities)
ReplyDelete- Paige1:53 PM
I just discovered Snow by Cynthia Rylant this past week after spending time with my little cousins. Let me tell you, I loved this book so much, it got me excited for snow... and it's only August! Cynthia's beautiful descriptions about the types of first snow captured my memories for excitement for snow so well, and the illustrations are gorgeous. Definitely a favorite.
http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Cynthia-Rylant/dp/0152053034 Toby seems to be intently listening to the story. I highly recommend The Saggy, Baggy Elephant or any of the classic Golden Book stories, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel or any books by Virginia Lee Burton (because I have yet to meet a little boy who didn't like digging!), Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear, the Noddy books (your English relatives will know him!)Olive, the Other Reindeer, anything by Lane Smith, and Harry the Dirty Dog, and Lyle the Crocodile. The list goes on and on!
ReplyDelete- Madeleine1:56 PM
Love your blog, Joanna!
When my sister and I were little we loved a book called The Philharmonic Gets Dressed, all about the various members of an orchestra getting ready for a big concert. It's fun with lovely illustrations and perfect for a little man in the city (maybe when he's a little older).
http://www.amazon.com/Philharmonic-Dressed-Reading-Rainbow-Books/dp/006443124X#reader_006443124X - Mary1:59 PM
Make Way for Ducklings, One Morning in Maine, or anything else by Robert McCloskey. The illustrations alone make these books wonderful! They are my favorites, along with The Runaway Bunny and Good Night Moon of course ...I've read those ones aloud to little ones countless times. :)
ReplyDelete Snuggle Puppy: a little love song by Sandra Boynton
Love it! We don't really look at the book anymore but we sing the song every day.
Also, Higher! Higher! by Leslie Patricelli - my two year old loves to swing, so she loves this book about swinging. Plus, it's so simple (only three words - Higher, Hi and Bye), so she tells me the story now.Wow, I was just looking at the bookshelf of kids books I used to read as a kid! I have SO MANY favorites, but I'll try to narrow it down, as all 75 or so on the shelf are amazing.
Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey
Those Summers by Aliki
The Night I Followed My Dog by Nina Laden
Toot & Puddle by Holly Hobbie
A Chair For My Mother by Vera B. Williams
The Bookshop Dog by Cynthia Rylant
Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes
Grandfather Twilight by Barbra Berger
A Chair For My Mother by Harriet Ziefert/Anita Lobel
When I Was Young In The Mountains by Cynthia Rylant
Now I Will Never Leave The Dinner Table by Roz Chast
Roxaboxen by Barbara Cooney
Edwina the Emy by Sheena Knowles/Rod Clement
Bread and Jam for Frances by Russell Hoban
Strega Nona by Tomie DePaola
Farmer Duck by Marin Waddell
The Philharmonic Gets Dressed by Karla Kuskin
The Gardener/The Library by Sarah Stewart
any of the Katie Morag Stories by Mairi Hedderwick
any of the Garth Pig books by Mary Raynor
Yikes, that's a lot, and I probably left out some, but these are the best of the best. Enjoy reading with Toby, Joanna!
P.S. You inspired me to do a post of my own about the best kids books!Ooh, we love a lot of those books too. The pigeon ones are some of my favourites. My sister is a preschool/kindergarten teacher, so she keeps me up to date on the latest, greatest children's books! My son absolutely loves Jeremy Tankard's books (Grumpy Bird, Boo-hoo Bird, Me Hungry) and some Lisa Patricelli's books (Yummy Yucky, Potty, The Birthday Box) as well as Eric Carle's. He really seems to like multiple books by the same authors.
ReplyDelete- Kristin2:12 PM
Love this post! My little guy will be three this December, but right now his favorite book is Pickle Things by Marc Brown (this one has such great rhythm that he can almost recite the whole thing by himself!), and one of my all-time favorites as a kid and now as a mother is I Love You Forever by Robert Munsch & Shelia McGraw.
ReplyDelete that picture of toby is precious!!
My baby (10months old)looves any of the pocket sized Dr.Suess hard cover (all the more to chew on) books.
She also loves The very hungry catepillar by Eric Carle. (a fav of mine as a kid)
She also loves the "I love Sounds/I love words/I love number" series, because tehy have little flap open pictures..
I cannot wait to share with her my all time favorite book, Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs.I'll See You in the Morning and If I Built a Car are two of our favorites around here. The first is the sweetest bedtime book ever and the second is such a great read aloud.
I also love books as shower gifts. I like to have them beautifully inscribed by a calligrapher as a special keepsake. Some recent examples that I've commissioned for wedding gifts:
Check it out...so pretty.Sam is voracious when it comes to books, particularly books about trucks (his big passion in life). My favorites from the "truck" genre would have to be "This Truck" by Paul Collicutt (I like the illustrations) and "Clang Clang, Beep Beep, Listen to the City" by Robert Burleigh (one of the few books about trucks which actually calm him down at bedtime!)
He also really enjoyed a well-loved Paddington pop-up book (that was mine when I was three), until it finally came apart completely and I had to take it out of circulation.For a long time, Baguette wouldn't let us read to her at all--she would snatch the books away and flip through them on her own, chattering about what was on the page.
Suddenly, she began to insist that we read to her. She settled on four books that we must read over and over and over:
1) Mommy's Best Kisses (but she stops and flips back to the beginning before reaching the page with the sleepy zebra, because She Cannot Be Fooled Into Sleeping)
2) Goodnight, Moon (apparently no one sleeps in this book)
3) Barnyard Dance (we read this like the world's most energetic square dance caller during the day, and like a sleepy zebra in the evening)
4) One, Two, Three (the least of the four, as far as she's concerned, but gaining ground lately)
We're bringing some other books into the mix, because we've memorized these four. But at the moment, they remain her go-to books.Joanna, I love this list! I'm a new aunt, and for my sister-in-law's shower they asked for books in lieu of cards. I spent forever in the children's section of the book store trying to pick just the right one, so I bought three. I couldn't stop myself.
I chose two of my favorites from when I was little- both by Tomie dePaola:
Strega Nona
The Legend of Old Befana
And one for my husband to send, since it's his little sister- it's about a little pea who has to eat candy for dinner, and he hates it.
Little Pea by Amy Krouse RosenthalMy favourite book when I was tiny was "Splish Splashy Day". It was a Sesame Street book. This reminded me that I ought to buy another copy, since mine is long-gone-- and its only $0.01 on Amazon + shipping. :)
To this day, when it rains I say things that my mom said to me (while reading the book), "Splish Splashy Day.. let's go out and play! Rainy days are full of fun, but Kelsey Monster likes the sun."
http://www.amazon.com/Splish-Splashy-Day-Pictureback-Liza-Alexander/dp/0375804374i really liked the giving tree and my muppet baby books... in particular miss piggy gets a love note (i blame my romantic hopes on that book!) for older children i love roald dahl books. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteMy favorite - The wind and the willows. Classic chapter book.
'the night I followed the dog' - adorable. Toby will like by 3. My son loves it. Hope its still in print :) It was my brothers who is 15!
Oh and now that I have Eleanor, I love the Fancy Nancy books. Never read them until they were bought for her. We ALL love them.I loved, and now my daughter loves, Shirley Hughes books, you simply must check the collection out (Dogger is my favourite, and shirley hughes is from my home town!) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shirley-Hughes-Collection/dp/0370326822
Also Julia Donaldson is ALWAYS a hit
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Room-Broom-Julia-Donaldson/dp/0333903382/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314644941&sr=1-3My son LOVES good night gorilla. Loves it. We love pretty much any sandra boyton book. They are short and funny and witty. We went through a 'Go, Dog, Go!' phase that was long and ended with mom and dad having the entire book memorized! (which it is like 58 pg or something ridiculous)
He also loves ANY book involving a train, no matter how simple or complex.
Good choices, Toby!The boys I babysat for 5 years LOVED the books "If You a Mouse a Cookie", "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" and "If You Give a Pig a Pancake." They're predictable, but they're funny.
We'd play a game with one another about what would happen if we gave each other the thing we wanted. Example: "If you gave Jonathan a french fry..."
It's for older kids, but still so fun!the Velveteen rabbit was my favorite. I always wept when he was on the woodpile thinking of the Skin Horse and thinking all was lost - I have a beautifully illustrated version that I picked up almost 10 years ago. I am saving it to give to a special child one day.
Another favorite when I was a child was called "The Magic Carousel" and I think it was from the 1970s? It was about two little sisters whose horses hopped off the carousel in Central Park at christmastime and took them for a tour of NYC, basically - they touch the star atop the Rockefeller tree, etc. It's very cute. My parents let me take it when I left for college and I still have it. =)
And I always loved Runaway Bunny and Blueberries for Sal.oh, and Jo, DO look up "Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons." It's adorable! Kind of a vocabulary book, designed to teach kids about values and virtues, but through cookies - it's terribly clever! Example? "Trustworthy" means you can ask someone to hold your cookie and it will still be there when you get back. =)
ReplyDeleteMy #1 favourite wore-out-two-copies book was Lucy and Tom's ABC by Shirley Hughes (it's British). When we took my daughter Lucy (yep) home this summer, she latched on to that book the way only toddlers can and now we read it for bedtime every night. It's a really great ABC book for little ones and I'm not sick of it yet!
ReplyDeleteI teach 4-7 year old and I have a list of so many good books, but some of the children's favourite are The Gruffalo (I did a whole 7 week topic using the book as a starting point and we built a forest in our classroom), Funny Bones, Where the Wild Things Are, The Tiger Who Came to Tea and Owl Babies.
ReplyDeleteMan, a favorite kids book? That's just too hard! I've loved Bill Peet's books since I was a kid (especially The Wump World), and a recent favorite is Beatrice Rodriguez's The Chicken Thief. It's possible that my all time favorite is Mercer Mayer's Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-zoo (which was just republished!).
ReplyDelete- Anonymous4:28 PM
When I grew up all my kids books were in Swedish (I'm half Swedish and my mom, the Swede did all the book picking)...it was a lot of Mumin http://www.bulls.se/Global/Licensing/Images/Top%20Image/Mumin.gif,
a lot of books about trolls (especially Plupp who I thought was real until about age 7 because my grandfather swore on his life he was real and live on his property!) http://www.bergshamra.org/images/plupp2.jpg ,
a lot of Alfons http://www.alfons.se/images/alfons153x220.gif and Pippi Longstocking and anything by Astrid Lindgren.
OH! And my favorite was Pettson and his cat Findus...those books had such amazingly detailed paintings! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2606/3735524047_d2c79a85c1.jpg
Wow! I got carried away with all these book memories! Thanks for creating such a great topic to post about! :)
<3 Julia - Mari4:37 PM
I love Brown Bear. I remember once when caring for a two-year old boy, we were sitting on the floor with tons of books and he picked Brown Bear -- I had only read it to his older brother a couple of times. To my surprise, he guessed the entire book just by knowing its main sentences and by looking at the drawings. And he could barely speak in full sentences yet!
ReplyDelete I love so many of those books! I know this is totally a shameless plus, but my brother (an amazing illustrator who works for Disney) has his first children's book coming out in October called Jane & Mizmow. Based on the books you listed (and other posts), I think you (and Toby) would like it. :)
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone out there know the name of the children's book where the child didn't want to go to bed b/c it was still light outside and so the mother (or grandmother?) painted the window shade to look like night with an owl, stars and moon? My sister and I both loved the book and are trying to find a copy for her daughter!
ReplyDeleteI had two most favorite books as a child! One was called 'I Was So Mad" by Norma Simon. I was a sassy little one I guess! Haha! Then I also loved 'No Baths for Tabitha' by Sharon K. Thomas about a girl who loves to rollerskate and refuses to take a bath because she'd rather spend more time rollerskating! My mom has been trying to find a copy of this book for me for YEARS. It seems to be some sort of hot property because it sells for crazy money on ebay and Amazon! I hope she can find it in time for when I have a daughter!
ReplyDeleteOur number one book around here is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. The baby has LOVED it since he was around 6 months. at first I thought it was the colors and now he finds it comforting. The husband and I have it memorized at this point and tell it to him every night and on drs visits and durring meltdowns. It has been absolutely amazing (and it was a shower gift!) Others he seems to enjoy are "we're going on a bear hunt" "goodnight moon" and "peekaboo puppy"
ReplyDeleteMY son is a little younger than Toby so I can't wait to check out some of the books on your list that we don't have. He's loved being read to since he was newborn. It's the only time he's calm! My husband loved Mother Goose and still has all of the rhymes memorized (some of them are so bizarre). I loved any book that involved food or puppies. The Pokey Little Puppy was the perfect story for me!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are currently really into "Chicken Soup with Rice" as well as "In the Night Kitchen" - both by Maurice Sendak. Other family favorites are "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson (great rhymes!) and "The Bear Snores On" by Karma Wilson. Both have great rhythm and rhyme to them and are a lot of fun to read (for grown-ups and kids alike).
ReplyDeleteI hope you see this comment because this book will make you cry every time you read it.. It is called "love you forever". Hands down the best!
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=i+love+you+forever+book&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=17507269102760128379&sa=X&ei=QQpcTrjbCMr40gHGvIWUCQ&ved=0CC8Q8gIwAQI'm a little obsessed with children's books. It's really hard for me not to hoard them!
I really love 'Third Story Cat' and 'Oh Simple!' The first because I love cats, and when I was a kid I loved the simple, dreamy watercolors of it. The latter my mother used to read to me all the time, it's about a chipmunk who gets mad because he can't watch cartoons so he runs away to his friend's house for a sleepover. He wears little footie PJs!
I also really love, for older kids but still kids, a lot of the books by Tor Seidler (I hope I spelled that right). I liked Stuart Little as a kid, but I was a bit eh about it, and Seidler's books are very similar but a bit, ahh, darker I suppose? 'The Wainscott Weasel' is my favorite, especially because it takes place on long island, where my family is from and so I loved it. 'A Rat's Tale' is also lovely :) My dad used to read them to me, they're chapter books, at the age when I could do my own reading but these books were just a little too much for me.- Anonymous7:24 PM
Now that I am a teacher, I can relive all of my favorite children's books. Here are my faves (old and current)...
- Anything Dr. Seuss
- Anything Eric Carle (Especially the Very Hungry Catepillar)
- Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
- The Giving Tree
- Pete The Cat: Pete's New Shoes
- Have You Filled A Bucket Today? (For when Toby gets a couple of years older...and part of my school's positive behavior plan)
- Anything Richard Scarry
- Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (taking my younger grades to go see the musical)
- If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
...that's it...for now. :) I've been thinking a lot about "Blueberries for Sal" while picking berries this summer – and wishing I had a pail for the berries to go "kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk" in!
I also loved imogene's Antlers, and Harry the Dirty Dog (which I got to read to some friend's kids recently while babysitting).you probably have more than enough recommendations by now! but my favorite to read to my daughter (6 mos) is My Friends by Taro Gomi. "i learned to nap from my friend the crocodile" it goes through little things kiddos learn like napping, walking, even to "watching the night sky" coinciding with animals who do similar things. my husband and i make animal noises along with the story, my little one loves it! and the illustrations are sooo precious. here's a link to the book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/My-Friends-Taro-Gomi/dp/0811812375
ReplyDeleteI truly think Toby and my Max would hit it off splendidly! Max is a month younger than Toby but mature for is age:) At times, when I read your blog, I feel like you are writing from my brain. Thank you so much for helping me with my transition into motherhood with your adorable stories and suggestions.
ReplyDeleteI love Peter Spier's "Rain." It's a wordless book with the most incredibly detailed pictures. Makes me want to be a kid again, living in an old Victorian house on a rainy day.
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is my all-time favorite children's book. I refused to see the movie, for fear it would ruin the magic of the book for me.
"Socks for Supper" is absolutely charming. I'm not sure if there are any copies around anymore--it's an old book.Man, I feel like I've hit the mother load of book recommendations. I just finished reading "The Read-Aloud Handbook" by Jim Trelease. It discusses the importance of reading aloud to children of all ages. At the end is a huge list of book recommendations sorted by target audience. I would highly recommend it. Thanks so much for doing this post. I will have new books to read for months to my little girls!
ReplyDelete- Emily11:20 PM
Some of my most treasured childhood memories are of reading with my mom at bedtime, a tradition we continued all through elementary school. Never stop reading together! Two picture books that still resonate with me as an adult both deal with magical summer vacations:
Time of Wonder by Robert McCloskey and
The Paint-Box Sea by Doris Herold Lund
Highly recommended!

If you want BS or Political Correctness you have come to the wrong place. FAQ How can you be an atheist Jew?
December 17, 2006
(Special to the Saudi Arabia Daily Bugle)
by AJ Brightenstein
Jimmy Carter wants to clear the air about his new book "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" in an open debate held in Saudi Arabia.
"I want to be able to properly debate my idea that the Jews in Palestine are pretty much as guilty of Apartheid policies against the true owners of Palestine as the whites in South Africa," Carter stated, "this debate will once and for all show that my rhetoric is right."
Jimmy Carter has invited what he calls the best Apartheid scholars on the planet today: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the three top Jewish Rabbis from Neturei Karta, Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyah, Zionist media expert David Duke, and CUPE's Ontario President Sid Ryan.
Asked if Alan Dershowitz is also invited, Carter replied, "Dershowitz knows nothing about the situation in Palestine, in fact, he calls Palestine "Israel." He is obvioulsy too bias to attend such a scholarly session. Besides, there will already be Jewish representation (the Neturei Karta Rabbis)."
Carter went on to explain why Saudi Arabia was selected for the conference: "we had concerns that misunderstood individuals like Ismail (Haniyeh) and Mahmoud (Ahmadinejad) would have problems travelling to the West, so we decided on Riyadh as a good neutral location. And perhaps so that it is completely neutral, we may hold the conference within one of Riyadh's many churches." When told that Riyadh doesn't have any churches, Carter just gave a nervous grin and didn't say anything.
In a related story, David Duke has launched a lawsuit against Jimmy Carter for plagiarizing many of his ideas about "kikes and the Zionist controlled media," Duke said, "I love Jimmmy for what he is doing, but money is money, and why should the Heebs make all the money."

Carter should have thought ahead and held the debate in Iran right after the Holocaust Denial conference.
That way, all the right people are already present and he probably could have saved money by using the same cateror. :)
Ok, now Jimmy has gone way too far. Holding a conference in a state where teachers go to prison for saying nice things about Jews and Christians and the protocols of Zion are considered historical fact?
Maybe you are right Bacon. Maybe Carter has a problem with Jews. - December 17, 2006 3:00 PM
- Krystalline Apostate said...
I...find it difficult to believe that Carter would even be rubbing shoulders w/a wackadoo like Duke.
His comparison of apartheid to the present state of Palestine is just idiotic. Maybe he's getting senile or something.
I don't see an actual link to the Arab Bugle.
Is this tongue-in-cheek? Satire? Am I missing something? I knew about his book: is there a news bulletin about this? - December 17, 2006 4:33 PM
- BaconEating AtheistJew said...
I thought this would be an obvious satire piece. But apparently it is just too believable.
I figure the Saudi Arabia Daily Bugle would be a dead giveaway.
Maybe I should write a new bible, I apparently have a knack when it comes to writing believable fiction. - December 17, 2006 4:47 PM

LMAO! This is hilarious, especially the last 2 paragraphs.

Yeah, except pairing the ex-prez off w/those freaks.

Believe it or not, I thought 'The Arab Bugle? Is he kidding?' Run by J. Jonah Jamahab, no less.;) "I declare jihad against Spiderman!"
So you kinda semi-had me there. - December 17, 2006 9:06 PM

Thanks for the laugh! That was a great piece. - December 18, 2006 3:08 AM

I knew it was a fictional piece as soon as I noticed the UN didn't mark the Conference by issuing a letter of Censure against Israel.
- December 18, 2006 2:35 PM
From reading and watching the news these last few weeks, that piece seems entirely plausible.
Thanks for the laugh. - December 18, 2006 6:02 PM
Did you even read his book

- Dr Zen said...
anonymous, of course he didn't. Fuckwits like this don't read anything that they don't know a priori they will agree with.
It's a simple rhetorical trick of the right. When two people criticise a thing, they are the same person, regardless how their criticisms differ. People like bacon eating propagate the trick so that they and their readers do not have to think it out. - December 19, 2006 6:01 AM
- BaconEating AtheistJew said...
Anon, I saw some interviews, and I read many reviews. I'm not spending a dime on trash though. And I say trash because the idea that Israel being an Apartheid state is laughable. The West Bank and Gaza are not on sovereign ground. Israel is not under any obligation to treat the Palestinians (those who live to push Israel into the sea) as equal citizens or even anything but the enemy. I guess the USA is an Apartheid state too, because people of Puerto Rico pay taxes to the US but can't vote for the US President.
There is no Palestine. There could be, but the Palestinians have shown no desire to have a peaceful state next to Israel.
Jimmy Carter can only be mocked for putting out such a book.
Dr. Zen, fuckwits like you make generalizations about people. You sound a bit paranoid. "A trick of the right."
I'm not sure how much of my blog you read to get an opinion of me like that.

This is evident to anyone who happens to be reading these comments. - December 20, 2006 10:41 AM
horowitz being the offspring of commie parents knows how to craft a clever LIE. He's even better at crafting clever LIES to cover the Actions and Conduct of his zionist neo-cons. The Fact that there are israeli ONLY roads in Palestine are a long known Fact and common knowledge. As are the special license plates Palestinians are required to have to drive where they are allowed. If anyone knows the true inter workings of the Mid-East it's Carter. The vicious attacks on him seem to prove that the israeli neo-con "lobby" doesn't want any Light shown on what has long been a israel can and never has done any wrong dogma. horowitz hysterical rants of "second genocide of the jews" is Nothing more than Emotional Blackmail! The World has Eyes and Ears of it's own to see who is sheding the blood of the innocents.

Obviously you don't know what the word Apartheid means, fatso.
a·part·heid (ə-pärt'hīt', -hāt')
An official policy of racial segregation formerly practiced in the Republic of South Africa, involving political, legal, and economic discrimination against nonwhites.
A policy or practice of separating or segregating groups.
The condition of being separated from others; segregation. - December 21, 2006 6:24 PM
- BaconEating AtheistJew said...
Palestinians are not citizens of Israel.
The West Bank and Gaza are not sovereign territory. The term Apartheid would only apply to Arabs living within Israel, and Israel is not practising Apartheid on them.
Israel exists. There is no Palestine. And the way the Arab assmonkeys act, there may never be a Palestine. - December 21, 2006 7:30 PM
I don't know where you get all that anti-zionist claptrap, but you've been lied to.
For instance: name me ONE black person who ever got elected to office during apartheid in S. Africa, for starters. There are Palistaneans in the Knesset.
There's ALWAYS been a Jewish presence in the ME for 1000's of years.
Israel has never openly advocated the extermination of Arabs, like the Iranian prez has.
Why you're blathering about communism is a complete mystery.
As to accusations of racism, sure, there probably is some practiced over there.
Name me a country where there isn't.
Maybe Switzerland: that's the only 1 I can think of. - December 22, 2006 3:07 AM
The term Apartheid would only apply to Arabs living within Israel
can you show us all were you got your definition of "Apartheid"
a·part·heid (ə-pärt'hīt', -hāt')
An official policy of racial segregation formerly practiced in the Republic of South Africa, involving political, legal, and economic discrimination against nonwhites.
A policy or practice of separating or segregating groups.

; Israel has never openly advocated the extermination of Arabs
The spiritual leader of Israel's ultra-orthodox Shas party, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, has provoked outrage with a sermon calling for the annihilation of Arabs.
"It is forbidden to be merciful to them. You must send missiles to them and annihilate them. They are evil and damnable," he was quoted as saying in a sermon delivered on Monday to mark the Jewish festival of Passover. - December 22, 2006 3:21 PM
Israel had no intention of a two state solution
It was always the land between Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea for the Jewish state.
Just look at the colonial flag of Israel.
The two blue lines represent two bodies of water.
The Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
Israel and its supporters cannot be trusted. - December 22, 2006 3:29 PM

Yosef is an idiot. He doesn't speak for Israel.
Again, you are totatlly ignoring the FACT that the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza DO NOT live on sovereign territory therefore they can not be part of any kind of Apartheid.
But it is typical of Paliphiles to make up new definitions and rules to suit their endless rhetoric. - December 22, 2006 3:39 PM
- BaconEating AtheistJew said...
What is called Israel was legally formed in 1948.
There is no Palestine and there never was. There is non sovereign land that lots of Arabs squat on right now that is up for grabs in the West Bank and Gaza, and potentially some of it can be part of a state called Palestine in the future. - December 22, 2006 3:41 PM
I wonder how many Palestinians are amoung this group?
None. However,
Looks like Apartheid to me!
Then I suggest you get new glasses.
There is a terrorist Israeli group, known as the Kach, & it is ILLEGAL to be a member of this group.
Israeli authorities thwarted a plan by Makhteret to blow up the al_Aqsa Mosque.
Please do research but 1st, leave your preconceptions at the door. - December 22, 2006 11:19 PM

In the future, I suggest you do better.
Probably after you graduate from middle school, I imagine. - December 24, 2006 1:07 AM

Anon, a Muslim probably has as much of a chance to become Prime Minister in Israel as an Atheist has to become President of the USA. Are you saying the USA isn't a democracy?
Your back must be killing you from moving the goalposts so much. - December 24, 2006 8:49 AM
Nice spoof. Took me a while to figure out that it's a spoof, considering that Jimmy Carter always loved and worshipped Arafat.
Funny how the paliphiles can never use history or primary sources to back up their arguments, but boy, they love their protocols of Zion...
The palestinian vermin are allowed to kill women and children, bomb wedding and bar mitzvah celebrations, and kill Israeli's while hiding in residential areas, but godforbid Israel build a fence or separate roads in order to protect her citizens. - December 26, 2006 12:02 AM

I thought it was an obvious satire, and pretty funny. ("The Saudi Arabia Daily Bugle" really should have tipped people off.)
I didn't read Carter's book, although I've read about it. The title is so inflammatory and counterproductive that I'm turned off it, even though it sounds like the contents are less so. But, for example, it was more difficult to object to Muslim groups urging leadership delegates to not vote for Bob Rae "because he supports apartheid" after Carter's book came out... even though they should be roundly condemned. Carter has done a great disservice to the debate. As have many of the commenters on this entry. - January 02, 2007 4:43 PM

Breaking Fuel From the Rock
Geologists long knew there was natural gas in the Marcellus shale formation, but thought it impossible to unlock. But producers in the last decade learned to mine this huge resource by drilling horizontally to reach a large surface area, then fracturing the rock with high-pressure water, sand, and lubricant chemicals.
