MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU… AUTHOR: Dee // CATEGORY: bloggers, books, cocktail deeva, fabulous, family, kids, lifestyles, review, TorontoI was 6,9 and 12 and used my allowance money t head to the theater to see what are, in my opinion, 3 of the best movies ever made. AS a kid I was a huge fan of the Star War series and at the time had no clue I would be able to relive that through my children two more times.The next three Star Wars installments arrived, although not my favorite in the series. Non the less, it rekindled my love for the movies and introduced the phenomenon to my eldest two children and started them on their Jedi journey.My love for the Star Wars of old is once again renewed and my two youngest children, who of course we well on their Jedi journey to many rainy day Star Wars marathons. Got to experience the magic of seeing the Millennium Falcon hit warp speed on the big screen. To get ready for May the 4th we thought about watching all the movies again but my 8 year son asked if we could have a Star Wars Lego video game marathon instead.
Not gonna lie…this option would not be my first pick, I am not much of a gamer. Instead we compromised with these amazing books from DK Books Canada. These books are filled with really cool Star Wars knowledge, fun facts, mixed with the fun and sillyness if the Lego Star Wars Video game and cartoon characters. They were a huge hit with my crew and they sat for hours..yes hours…reading through them, laughing and chatting all things Star Wars and all things Lego… I…poured myself a large glass of red wine and sat and enjoyed watching them …Be sure to check out DK Canada’s Heroes and Villains Boutique for more great titles. To celebrate May the 4th Be With You…DK Canada has fun downloadable Star Wars activity pages for free. With coloring and trivia it is the perfect way to brush up on your Star Wars knowledge before the big day. Of course we ended a fun day of reading, learning and playing with a tribute to the original masterpiece… Looks like someone is already working on her Dark Side …

But when I try to use it in survival to find recipes it gives me a stack of the item I click on. How do I stop this from happening? You can open the player inventory and you will find a button in the bottom right-hand corner that alternates the mode of the NEI, and you want "Recipe Mode" the others are "Cheat Mode" and "Usage Mode". Alternately while hovering over the item you want you can press either "R" to show the recipe or "U" to show the usage.
You have cheat mode enabled in NEI (the default), to use it for it recipe functionality you have to open your inventory, then click the options menu in the bottom left and change the NEI-mode to recipe mode instead of cheat mode. Check the config file for NEI. There's a "lock" state which tells NEI to stay in that state no matter what you tell it in the game. that's probably set to cheat mode, so even though you change it to recipe / utility mode in the game, it's locked to cheat mode. I'm at work so i can't tell you exactly where and what to change, but it should be in your NEI mod folder or the configs folder. What you are looking for is go to the NEI options menu and look in the upper right corner where it says "Global" or "World". Enter the "Inventory" menu and then click on the "Global" or "World" button you will see that one of the two screens is probably set to cheat mode. Just change it to recipe mode then click the "Global" or "World" button again and change the other one to recipe mode also
since NEI is Universal it gives you the server options as well, which are set to cheat by default i think???

Unfortunately, it’s not always clear how you should teach them. While you obviously don’t want to start by explaining the intricacies of your 401(k) and mortgage, it can be hard to gauge what’s appropriate for your child.Starting when they’re as young as 3 or 4, you can teach your kids the fundamental basics of budgeting through spare change.The method that we outline below will grow and expand naturally along with your kid. After a few years learning how to budget with spare change, your child will have a savings account with a good chunk of change and a basic knowledge of budgeting, saving, and interest.
Show them moneyThis might seem obvious, but in a world where so many of our transactions occur online or with cards, it can be hard to remember that money is an actual, physical thing.While you might be able to understand the abstract nature of online banking and credit cards, your kids need something to ground them. That’s why it’s best to show them real money, starting with your spare change.The U.S. coin system (and the coins of many other countries) is awesome for visual learners because the coins are all different sizes and colors. Focus on helping them remember which coins are which, what they’re called, and how much they’re worth.Save your spare changeIf you don’t already, set up a big jar in a central location in your home and put all of your spare change in there. As the change accumulates, you can use it as a talking point with your child. Show them the coins you’re dropping in and, depending on where they are in their understanding of addition, ask them to add up the change.
This is a great chance to start explaining to your kids where money comes from. Explain the entire lifecycle of this money–that it started as a paycheck, which you got for doing work, and ended up as spare change after you made a purchase, like groceries.If you don’t regularly make cash purchases, take a few bucks out of the bank in various types of coins. You can create the illusion of spare change until your kids are old enough to understand that money can exist in bank accounts.Have them sort and count spare changeOnce it comes time to dumping out the spare change jar and taking the coins to the bank, your kids can help sort and count the coins.Assuming that your earlier explanation of the coins has stuck in your child’s mind, they’ll be able to sort the coins visually while also remembering what kind of coins they are.Once your kids start learning math, they’ll be able to add up their coins and figure out how much money they’re bringing to the bank on their own.Most banks provide free coin wrappers that you can use to organize your change.
Coin wrappers can be a useful tool to help kids add up coins–instead of having to keep track of each individual coin, they can add up the numbers on the side of the coin wrappers.Take it to the bankYour kid can have a real bank account, just like mommy and daddy! Most banks have free savings accounts for kids under 18, and they’re usually connected to your account so that you can control deposits and withdrawals if needed.While your children may not understand the bank account at first, with your guidance they’ll come to understand it as the key to their money. Use monthly statements to help them understand that every time they add coins to the account, the amount of money in the account grows. You can also start explaining the idea of interest.All of this will help teach kids the value of putting money aside. Once they start making their own money, either from an allowance or money for chores, you could decide to take away the spare change and have them save only from their own money.
Without the spare change to fall back on, this will help children realize that if they want that big ticket item, they’re going to have rely on their own income and savings.Sidenote: some younger kids may be wary of banks, since just about every LEGO toy and cartoon has a bank robbery in it at some point. While it might be a little early to explain FDIC insurance, most bank tellers will be happy to explain to children why their money is safe.Advanced technique: the Three Jars methodThe Three Jars method isn’t new–you may have grown up with the Three Jars method, which would explain why you’re so money-savvy now–but people still use it because it’s a powerful way to teach kids about money!Each of the three jars represents a different purpose: the first jar is for spending (“For Me”), the second jar is for saving (“For Later”), and the third jar is for charity (“For Others”). And if you want your kids to get really pumped about the jars, just show them this short video with everyone’s favorite monster, Elmo:Some parents use a Four Jar Method, splitting the savings jar into a long-term savings goal and a medium-term savings goal.
For younger kids, three jars is probably enough, but as kids get older, they tend to gravitate towards more expensive toys (“Why the heck do you need an Apple Watch!?”), so a long-term savings jar might be helpful.Better yet: turn that long-term savings jar into a savings account. That way, they can earn and learn about interest.The Three Jar Method allows parents to introduce the idea of budgeting early, as well as stressing the importance of giving to others. It also lets kids have fun spending money while still learning the importance of saving.How do you teach your children about money?We’re always interested in hearing unique stories about ways that parents teach their kids about important money habits.
