are you reading a book at this time?
 

I am reading a baby sign language book right now, they say you can teach them sign language before they talk so they can tell you what they want before they speak. Gonna teach and learn sign language with my baby girl as she grows.

Anyway, thats what Im reading, you?

3 books on business,

I'm not reading much. I'm mostly writing right now.

I'm probably going to get called gay for this, but I'm currently reading "The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Shadow Souls". I started reading the books after watching the TV Series, which is nothing like the books. I know they're teen readers, and most likely geared toward teen girls, but I don't give a fuck.

I also just finished re-reading Marilyn Manson's autobiography "Long Hard Road Out of Hell," and I also finished re-reading Don Imus' "God's Other Son." And of course all the previous entries in "The Vampire Diaries" books.

I'm reading GFY right now. Maybe a little Google News in a little bit. :)

this sci fi book out of the malazan series

got it when it came out, read it once. Good one.

I am reading another "The Secrets of Templars" book. It has been my fetish for almost 3 years.

Yeah, I got it back then, too. I have a habit of going through books I have on my bookshelf and reading them again if it's been awhile. Fuck, I've read Lloyd Kaufman's "Everything I Need to Know About Filmmaking I Learned From the Toxic Avenger" and "Make Your Own Damn Movie: Secrets of a Renegade Film Director" about 10 times each. Funny as fuck.

I'm reading Cryptonomicon for like the 9th time. Great book :thumbsup

Dean Koontz's Restless.

The War of the End of The World by Mario Vargas Llosa. Very well written and shocking account of a 19th century anarchic society that lived in the Brazilian Jungle which was attacked by the brazilian army 3 times and 3 times they beat them back.

They had no money system,property,tax,marriage,census or decimal system. it was literally a town of real anarchists. And for this the government thought them dangerous and needed to be destroyed.

great book, i really liked one his earlier Snowcrash, man i love that novel.

Holy Blood, Holy Grail! :thumbsup

Maybe you are not gay. Maybe you are a genius woman.

Playgirl.

I got it for the articles.
















And to stare at all the cocks too. :Graucho

Just a quick :2 cents:, I've had a few friends teach their kids sign language and as infants to have them tell you they want milk or they pooped is awesome, most babies < 1 year old just scream and its a guessing game as to why- but the flipside of that is they learn to talk much later in life.

I think they don't learn to verbalize at the same rate because they don't have the same need or sense of urgency to learn to talk as other kids since they can already somewhat communicate.

One of my friends had her kid using sign language and potty trained as an infant. If you want to look it up check "elimination communication". It was pretty awesome and made the baby alot easier to care for- virtually eliminated diapers, etc. It was pretty great, but when she turned 2 she was the hardest 2 year old imaginable. It's sort of like the communication frustration you escape comes back around to bite you in the ass. Kids I have met who were raised w/ sign language seem almost obstinate to learning words, get extremely frustrated when trying to communicate and resort to screaming and tantrums way more than your average 2 year old.

I was totally sold on infant sign language until I had to baby sit these kids at 2 and 3 years old. My friend's daughter who was raised with both the sign language and infant potty training understood speech but didn't start trying to put words together to make semi-sentences for herself until she was 4.

I don't have any kids myself, so take that as you will, but I worked in a daycare once upon a time and my age group was 2.5-3 year olds, so I'm pretty familliar with where kids that age should be and how they act. Everyone has different opinions, but personally I love 3 year olds. They are so much fun to be around and play with, and it just isn't the same with kids who have been taught baby sign language. They are NOT fun. This is just my personal experience, and I've only known a small sample of 5 kids who have been raised with sign language, and only 2 of those kids I've known from infancy all the way to 5 years, but with those kids I saw all the same speech development and behavioral issues.

It seems like there's always a trade off, and IMO the trade off really isn't worth it.

"fossilized Cambrian organism excavated in British Columbia" really bizarre.

I generally have two books going at any given time. A toilet book and a bed book.

Ive been reading this while I take a dump. I probably finish 3 or 4 books a year just from reading while I grunt out a Canadian.

Answering the thread title.... no Im having sex on camshows.


Nice to hear that you are learning & teaching man :thumbsup

About to read a service manual. But no, not at the moment.

What's loaded in my Kindle right now is Worst Case by James Patterson.

I've read few books a while ago, but lately reading GFY takes all my time :winkwink:

A few started related to photography.....

books on business too

Too many.

Literature is addictive.

thats cool good luck with that i see those commercials all the time....as far as me just reading gfy :helpme

:2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

just finished a dull book on marketing. There haven't been many interesting business related books out lately

I read that, and a lot of the templar books, like Holy Blood Holy grail etc...

not going to argue this, my Aunt is a child development instructor who teaches sign language for kids, I will simply disagree and let it go. you ALWAYS say words and talk while making the sign, talking is the goal. I disagree and side with my aunt. My little girl will know SL and multiple speaking languages, and I have already started.

"Babies who use sign language are happier and less frustrated, they learn to talk sooner, "

"What these researchers found was amazing, babies that communicated with sign language before they could speak actually learned to talk sooner and scored higher on intelligence tests when compared to their non-signing peers."

Sorry but research states opposite.

The 50th Law by 50 Cent :2 cents:

We read the Baby Sign language book daily. My son has picked it up better than his sister did the first time around. He's 10 months old, can't speak a word but can sign quite a few of the things he needs or wants during the day...so it does work.

I'm reading the Slash biography for like the 4th time. It's always in my bathroom.
