 Rating:  - Worth the buy, children will learn and enjoy....We bought this video along with the others ones (shapes, colors, letters, and numbers), and our 2 year old loves them. He has learned everything that we wanted him to. These are a great tool for teaching young children. We are looking at buying the sight words next...We hope this helps. Rating: - Great Way to Learn the Numbers!I got this video for my 2 year old daughter. I cannot rave about this product enough. My daughter watched this video a few times and can now identify the numbers 0-10. She gets excited to see numbers everywhere we go and wants to tell me which number is which. It's so exciting to see her learn and enjoy it. We also got "Meet the Letters"... I would recommend that one too! Rating:  - Only okay...I've gotta say, I'd give this one star except for the fact that my daughter actually sat through the whole thing and watched it. The video is SO annoying... I think there's gotta be better educational videos for teaching numbers out there. She also didn't ask to watch it again after it ended like she does so many of her other shows. Rating: - numbersThis is ok my girls seemed to like it but I thought it was boring and didn't hold there attention for long. example there is an number one bouncing around the screan then they say one, one, one. This is said around ten times then there is a short, I'll call it skit, with the number one then it goes to two, two, two, two, all over agian. Rating: - Learning Numbers as Easy as 1, 2, 3!Meet the Numbers My youngest son has special needs & mainly uses sign language as a form of communication. My son can learn all sorts of things from these videos that he was unable to learn in preshcool. With just days of "Meet the Numbers" he knew several numbers and with 2 weeks of "Meet the Letters" he was able to name many letters on the cover of Meet the Numbers. This is a big deal because just saying words clear enough for us to understand is hard yet he was able to say these things. I even consider somewhat of a speech therapy while he does the video because he talks along with them. With the simple & repetitive style it is very easy to pick up and they associate the characters with what they are leraning and are able to generatlize it into every day activities. I HIGHLY recomend this item not only for normal children but for those with special needs. We use our's in the car on the way to school. Better then just sitting there! |

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.
Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
