  3. They learn to get the point across FAST on How Infants Crack the Speech Code · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My 18 month old has a whole portfolio of hand, arm and facial expression to "speak" his mind. It's actually very amazing to watch! And verbal comprehension is fantastic, he has the ability to comprehend what we want him to do without any prior instruction. For example he has never been asked to pick his toys up and put them in his play pen. Nor have we ever used the phrase put your cars in your play pen but to my amazement last we when I asked him to do just that he smile rocked back and forth on his heels and got right to cleaning up his toys.

    Now what about reading, do the same thoughts hold true about a child ability to learn to read and when is a good time to start them?

    We converted a large number of the classic CCTV systems over the last five years. IP based cameras have really evolved and the available software, while expensive real kicks ass over a vcr and in many instances DVR. Yhe benefits of course is long term, cheap storage, no forgotten tapes and easy access to live video and recorded alarms over the net from anywhere. One of are more recent clients even caught a bank robbery on our Milestone package!!

    My point being too many greenes are running around with the "we're saving the world cause we're electric" then trying to shutdown the very power plants and dams (think Parker dam so we can restore the natural beauty of the desert, and at the same time drain thelargest man made fresh water lake in America. Guess California and Arizona DON'T NEED DRINKING WATER) making their electricity. They fight against any new plants and god forbid (sorry not being secular there)you use the "N" world (nuclear for you bigots out there)They have these bullshit pie in the sky plans to carpet the desert in solar and wind, but oops that will kill the green spotted desert toad and chop up Woodsie tree owl in those blades, scrap those ideas (there is a call to actually take down several large wind fars to save the birdies)!! Or more likely they'll fight the creation of the manufacuting plants need to creat these "wonder" system... that will not work. Untill someone finds a way to make cheap power with out offending some tree frog some where we're going to use the FEW power plants we have currently online and YES I know we are rushing to build more, it's about time why don't we build a few more refineries while we're at it. Hey imagine how much more advanced these plants could be if we had actually been building new ones and trying new ieas all this time?

    As for the GTO it get 15mpg and will do better after I finish with the fuel injection, better then many of those smokey VW buses I deal with every day Thank You. And please consider the amount of energy required to retire this car, I will need a new car and that take raw resources and power to creat from scratch. The real gas guzzler is my 84 Suburban, o'boy 10 maybe 11 mpg on a good day and boy i it fun to drive! But no problem it's paid for, none of those $800.00 a month, might as well live init cause it as much as a house car payments for me. Nope I'll spend less then have that a month on gas an blow by those dinky electric cars that can't go more then 55mph for 200 miles, Insert Evil Laugh Here

    BTW - I'm think of switching them both to propane/LPG but there is no solid infastructure for dispensing fuel, kinda like hydrogen,eh!

    Untill we can build either hydrogen fusion or more nuclear plants there will be no reduction in coal fired plants AND there NEVER,EVER will be single source power plants.

    I agree no one ever seems to want to look for any other cause other then those damb evil americans and their cars!! What about natural causes like ooo say a warming solar cycle, increased sunspot activity, maybe even that band of super heated helium atoms we are currently passing through? It is most likly a large combination of events that is driving this.

    BTW I'm all for clean air and water simply for the sake of clean air and water. Heck I even went as far as putting cats on my 1967 Pontiac GTO and before you accuse me of driving a evil gas guzzler just think of all the energy I saved by recycling a car rather then buying a new one that wasted all that energy being manufactured.

    And you electric vehicle assholes, where do you think your pollution is going. It's being made at those big electric power plants like Navajo in Arizona and YOU ARE CLOUDING MY GRAND CANYON and CHOKING the poor Native Americans with you F^CKING POLLUTION!!
