Playground time, technology work for children with autism
- A special education teacher noticed that over time after playing on playground equipment, some students who usually played alone slowly started to interact with the others. Interactive play led to "new" games that the children created themselves. The teacher filmed the children as they played outside and gained an unexpected benefit. A new piece of equipment from the stimulus money had been purchased for several special education units in the district. Called a "Smart Board," it allowed children to directly interact with a huge movie screen. The Flip video was easily downloaded onto a Hatch computer, which would project the children's images onto the Smart Board. Watching videotaped interactions on the playground on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard taught children how to play, to communicate and to behave better. Role-playing has long been used to make children understand what is expected of them, and technology is an incredible visual tool that is changing the way we teach.> Read more

I got tired of seeing that Hoenn Pokémon entry, so I decided to write a new one. (I do plan on doing something like that Hoenn Pokémon entry in the future, but it'll have to be after this Generation 6 stuff calms down.)
The main reason for my slow art turnout is the projects I'm working on, but with Generation 6 looming over us I've also been hesitant to start working on new art. When it hits I don't want to be in the middle of a piece of art. With the Generation 6 news coming this weekend, depending on what we get, I should have something to upload. As October draws closer we'll probably get flooded with news, leaks, and tons of Pokémon for me to draw. Like Unova, if many Pokémon are put out at once there will likely come a point where I won't be able to draw each Pokémon as it is leaked / revealed. When that happens, I'll just have to draw a few, then get to the others later.
As news is leaked and posted on the various fan sites, I'll know about it, so sending me notes about the news or posting about the news for me to see is mostly not needed (but appreciated). I check various locations in all hours of the day when possible (in the morning before work, after work, before bed) so I'm usually up-to-date with everything. For example, I'm keeping an eye on this Movie 16 "Mewtwo forme" news. If we get its Sugimori art, I can can begin making art for it. (I want to make some now, but the images we have block out too much of its body.)
Anyway, this entry is just a way to say "I'm keeping a close eye on the news and I'll be posting Gen. 6 art as fast as possible!"

Kampfer: Dunn Likely Dead, Changes Reward Specifications
By: Jessica Reyes
Updated: March 30, 2011
The $15,000 reward will now be offered to anyone with any information that may lead to the girl's whereabouts.
"From the beginning, statements were always being made that she was deceased or under duress," Kampfer said.
Rumors started Wednesday morning that officials believed Dunn to be dead. Kampfer clarified investigators believe she is likely deceased or under duress.
"Reasonably, she probably is deceased. But I'm adding in an aspect of duress that there may be a slim possibility because I have no proof," he said.
Kampfer said investigators are hoping someone will come forward with information about the girl's whereabouts now that specific clauses regarding the reward have been removed.
"We're eliminating things like 'successful prosecution'. The additional one is a safe return of Hailey. Although we would very much like the safe return of Hailey, that may not be likely," he said.
Kampfer said law enforcement may increase the reward up to six figures if no one comes forward.
Hailey was last seen on December 27. Her mother's boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, remains the only named suspect.
"I'm hoping that we don't have a six month or a year type of request to her status or her location. We're trying as best we can and we have a lot of resources available to locate Hailey," Kampfer said.
Colorado Middle School principal Mark Merrell came to speak with Kampfer late Wednesday morning to squash a rumor that investigators had found Dunn's body circulated around the school.

LaGrange Police continue to investigate incidents of entering auto in northwest LaGrange after a man was arrested for allegedly breaking into a Toyota Camry on Cherokee Road Monday.
Edwin Barnes, 33, of Lanett, Ala., is charged with 11 counts of entering auto and one count of burglary. Investigators said a loaded assault rifle, later determined to be stolen from West Point, was among the property recovered from two of Barnes' LaGrange residences.
Barnes was arrested after an ongoing investigation of entering autos in Northwest LaGrange, particularly the area of Cherokee Road. LaGrange police investigators and K-9 units spotted the suspect as he allegedly broke into a vehicle about 3:30 a.m. Monday before fleeing.
He was found hours later on the back porch of a residence on Edmonson Avenue, hiding behind a hot tub, Sgt. Marshall McCoy said.
"Once it became daylight, residents reported seeing him," McCoy said, adding that the suspect traveled by bicycle.
Barnes was recently released from prison for drug charges from 2009. LaGrange police are working with agencies in West Point and Lanett on the case. Police said additional charges are likely as the investigation continues.

LONG BEACH - The Long Beach Unified Board of Education has set a date to consider a controversial decision to start all high schools an hour later next school year.
High schools in the Long Beach Unified School District currently start the day between 7:45 and 8 a.m. The proposal would push back the start time to 8:45 to 9 a.m. and school would then end an hour later at about 3:45 p.m.
The board will discuss the proposal in its regular meeting on Jan. 29 and is set to make a final decision on the matter in February.
For now, the LBUSD is asking parents for their feedback by filling out an online survey available through Jan. 11 on the district's website.
The district also is considering smaller schedule changes at some elementary, K-8 and middle schools to better coordinate bus transportation.
District officials first discussed the idea in November due to research that suggests teens perform better academically when they start school later. To access the online survey go to the district website, lbschools.net or http://tinyurl.com/ccfghl6.

Top 100 Roto Players - December 2012 | Tweet |
Written by Gates Imbeau | |||
Sunday, 16 December 2012 17:19 | |||
Download the December 2012 edition right here. With no changes coming in from November's Top 100 Roto, this edition is a refreshing switch up. DobberHockey's own cap guru, Eric Daoust, takes the helm and delivers his top 30 rotisserie skaters in salary cap leagues. Think of it as an early holiday gift for you salary league folk. Eric Daoust's Roto Cap Rankings : The goal of the roto cap rankings is to properly order the 30 best players in a salary cap league. You will notice that the usual suspects are at the top of the rankings. This is because there is no substitute for elite-level production from one roster spot. Besides, there are plenty of effective bargain players that can be obtained to fill the depth positions and help fit your top producers within your team's budget. Due to the ongoing lockout and uncertainty about the NHL financial model moving forward, the rankings do not account for long-term potential or long-term cap value. This is merely a snapshot of player value now and in the near future. In addition to the rankings, there are also three previously published articles from the weekly Capped series, via DobberHockey.com, included in this PDF. The first article provides a more detailed view of why star players are should still be owned despite their higher salaries and at what point a cheaper, less proven alternative may be the better option. The charts in this article apply to points-only league but the big picture carries over to roto leagues as well. The second article lists 10 players who are cheap and can give you good production in roto leagues. The last article focuses on how to find the next cap bargain players to help your team in the future. Download the December 2012 edition right here. Write comment

Eight DVDs (65 episodes + both movies) for 50-ish dollars?? Sold, man.
What's great is that I've only seen about 5 episodes of this show total, so this'll pretty much all be new to me.
Bump For Reasons I shall say
Well it looks like Amazon is going up and down with the price. Hopefully, it will stay where it is at now. Is this happening to anyone else who pre-ordered?
I liked this show, cracked me up a lot.
Funny enough Daria was my favorite character of the show.
Bart V.S Bob!
Bart fan!
Starting Today, MTV has a deal going on. If order Here, You will get the following:
1. The DVD BEFORE It is in stores.
2. A T-shirt
3. Free Shipping
So I just thought I would put that
Cheapy looking t-shirt...a couple of years ago, I ordered a 'Daria' tee that was dark blue, had her FULL image (unlike the tee offered and they have the logo) and has her saying the EXACT same thing the offer is stating.
I bought the tee for a frined of mine who is a 'Daria' fan-he's overseas and is nearly completing his service to the Navy.
http://www.locatetv.com/tv/daria According to this reliable source. Daria will be airing May 10th on MTV2. Also, earlier in the month. MTV2 posted on the Daria Facebook that they would air eps on MTV2.
That's nice to hear-hafta tell my friends.
Why is Daria getting all this attention, when the show that it was spun off from, Beavis and Butthead, not. Why haven't Beavis and Butthead had a complete series released? I mean, i can understand the copyright trouble with the music videos, but for everything else there's no excuse! And Beavis and Butthead have popped up on MTV2 occasionally, but not on any consistant time slot. Heck I havent seen them on any network since December!
Daria and B&B are way different. Daria has smart humor, B&B Has immature humor. I love Beavis and Butthead, but, Daria was better. I think they really want to get music videos before they release anything though.
They STILL CUT IICY! I swear MTV is mentally retarded. Badly.
Oh great. Daria is airing on LOGO NOW! FIRST BUFFY NOW DARIA!
So it's a TV show with a (presumably) gay fanbase, and it gets more exposure on another channel. What's the big problem? It doesn't mean you're gay for watching it, if that's what you're worried about.
Daria doesnt have a gay fanbase. Most fans I know of and people on the internet are straight....... Plus MTV Owns Logo so............
Oh, I guess I didn't realise you spoke for every Daria fan. Icky gays, watching your show.
by: Mt. Doom
I didnt say I spoke for every one, now did I? And I stand for gay rights so your comment is faulty. I said I thought it was strange since they said it was gonna air on MTV2. Get your facts straight first.
You just seemed strangely angry that they were daring to show it on a gay-themed channel. You can still watch it despite what it's on. Or if you're really concerned about your manly image, just wait for the DVD.
I watch Logo all the time for Buffy. Don't make assumptions about me. I already pre-ordered the dvd. I'm mad because I heard Logo usually cuts stuff out. And people might get the impression Daria is a lesbian.
Oh no(!) Then if they liked the show they'd keep watching and find out she wasn't a lesbian, not that it matters. If they didn't like the show then they'd go away with the wrong impression and nothing would change.
The one time you come here is to insult me? I stand for gay rights and what your doing is quite pathetic. I laugh at the fact you are trying so hard to piss me off. I was just posting the information and my thoughts. If I dont want a show to be on that channel for my own reasons than that is my opinion. Don't try to change it.
I'm not trying to annoy you. I simply just wanted an explanation for your ridiculous over-reaction, which I got, inane as it was.
by: Mt. Doom
Just been bittorrenting a few of these, and noticed they've got a bunch of 'big hits' of the '90's all over them! Hope they got the rights!
Got my DVD today. Almost all the music is cut. Not all though. IICY has 12 lines cut. Any other questions, ask me.
I thought the DVD comes out May 10th?????
Had Logo when my older brother subscribed to digital cable. He switched to satellite (Dish Network)-doesn't carry that channel.
Not to start a debate, but B&B may be this and Daria may be that, but I know which show makes me laugh harder
I enjoy the soap opera elements of Daria and the serialization and some of the observations about friendships and dooming yourself and identity
But god I love B&B so much more. Just because it's "immature" doesn't mean it isn't saying something. It IS smart humor. About dumb people. It was such a ballsy thing for MTV to put on, a show that completely shits on it's own viewers and generation.
Apples and oranges though. I did really like Daria but it almost never made me laugh.
by: Mt. Doom
I got my dvd early through dariaondvd.com
However, I do know that one of the songs that remained (not the only one) was Brittaney's dream sequence song from "College Bored." The interviews were a jip seeing as who Daria Facebook has more scenes from the interviews that they decided not to put on the dvd. The quality is actually pretty good! and IICY has 12 lines cut

Recently, there has been an ever increasing demand for organic products, particularly for organic baby products. Parents of course want the best for their babies and organic baby stores in Bloomington stock everything they require to keep their little ones happy and healthy.
Bloomington organic baby stores market products that aren't created using toxins and chemicals. So the most significant benefit of organic baby products is that they are healthier and have a reduced risk of producing side effects like allergic reactions.
Eco-friendly parents also enjoy the fact that organic baby products are also better for the environment. Cotton used to make cloth for organic baby clothes, for example, are not treated with incesticides and chemicals that affect a great deal more than the cotton crop.
Products in Bloomington Organic Baby Stores
As more parents come to realize the importance of choosing organic, more organic baby products are being sold in stores across the country. Today, parents can buy an organic option for virtually anything.
In-demand organic baby products include:
- Baby clothes
- Toys
- Baby food
- Bedding
- Bath products
- Diapers
- Lotions and Creams
- Powder
Providers can only label their baby products organic if they have gained organic certification. One important note to keep in mind is that unlike organic products, 'all natural' products are not regulated by the FDA. Parents that are contemplating an 'all natural' product ought to carefully look over the ingredients and/or label to decide whether an organic option is the right choice.
Well Known Organic Baby Stores in Bloomington
Burt's Bees is a well known brand of personal organic products, including organic baby products. Their products can be purchsed in well established stores across America such as Target.
Baby Earth is an online organic baby store that features all natural and organic baby products from numerous providers.
Whole Foods Market has been a top provider of organic products since 1980, and there's no shortage of organic baby products in their stores.
The Organic Consumers Association and the Organic Information Center are also popular resources for researching various organic products and services, including organic baby stores.
Investing in organic products, particularly hygiene and food products, when children are in the initial stages of development is an investment worth making. As organic baby products grow in popularity parents can expect to find more local and online organic baby stores in Bloomington to shop at and more economical prices as well.

Historic License Plates
There are three kinds of historic vehicle registrations:
- Historic license plates;
- Personalized Historic license plates; and
- Year of Manufacture license plates.
To qualify for historic vehicle registration, a vehicle (passenger vehicle, truck, or motorcycle) must be 25 years old or older, owned solely as a collector's item, and used for exhibition and educational purposes.
A vehicle registered as a historic vehicle may be driven:
- To and from exhibitions and educational events without any mileage limitation;
- To repair facilities within a 100 mile limit; and
- Up to 1,000 miles per year for personal use.
The owner is responsible for keeping a log of the miles driven for personal use each calendar year. The log must be kept in the vehicle when the vehicle is being driven on any state road.
Historic vehicle registration is a permanent registration and cannot be transferred. If you sell or dispose of the vehicle, you must return the plates to the Missouri Department of Revenue.
You may apply for historic vehicle registration by mail or in person at the Central Office in Jefferson City.
NOTE: If the vehicle is not titled in your name in Missouri, you must complete, sign, and submit an Application for Missouri Title and License (Form 108) with the properly assigned title. The titling fees include an $8.50 title fee, 4.225% state sales/use tax, local taxes (if applicable), $2.50 processing fee, and any title penalty due if application for title is not made within 30 days from the date of purchase. Check our online Sales Tax Calculator to estimate your taxes.
How to Apply for Historic License Plates:
You will need to complete, sign, and submit an Application for Missouri Historic or Personalized Historic License Plates (Form 570), with the following documents and fee:
- A paid personal property tax receipt (original or copy) or a statement of non-assessment from your county of residence (or city of St. Louis) for the previous year;
- A current insurance identification card (original or copy) or other proof of financial responsibility;
- A copy of the vehicle's title or registration receipt;
- A registration fee of $25.25 (this is a one-time fee for regular historic plates); and
- A $3.50 processing fee.
Personalized Historic License Plates
You may apply for personalized historic license plates for an additional $15 fee. Simply check the appropriate box on the application form and enter your configuration choices. You may submit six choices. Personalized historic license plates expire each year, and an annual $15 personalized plate fee is charged.
To check the availability of your chosen plate configurations before you submit the form, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Year of Manufacture License Plates
The owner of any historic vehicle possessing a license plate issued by the state of Missouri that is over 25 years old in which the year of issuance of such plate is consistent with the model year of the vehicle may register such plate as a "Year of Manufacture" historic vehicle plate as set forth in section 301.131, RSMo, provided the plate configuration does not conflict with the current numbering system. If you are in possession of a plate that is consistent with the model year of the vehicle, please submit a picture of the plate with the application and requirements one through five above (the $25.25 registration fee is a one-time fee for Year of Manufacture license plates).
If you already have an old Missouri license plate (or set), you may e-mail the plate configuration to firstname.lastname@example.com and ask our staff to verify if it is available as a Year of Manufacture registration.
When selling a historic vehicle with a Year of Manufacture registration, the new owner may use the Year of Manufacture license plate(s) on the vehicle if the previous owner provides a relinquishment letter, and standard Year of Manufacture requirements are met. There is no limit to the number of times the plate may be re-used as long as a notarized relinquishment letter is provided.

1) I had a reply/question to an article irt "best security suites" article but haven't received an answer.
2) Therefore, I'm hoping someone here can expand upon the topic a bit.
3) Below is a copy of what I replied to (basically Matt's reply to Benjamin) and the question I was posing "to" Matt. Please give any advice/feedback you may have on the topic.
4) Here's the link to the original article discussion thread (if you're interested or it helps):
Thank you very much,

To answer your question you just need to go to AV-Test.org. Microsoft Security Essentials has the lowest protection rate of any AntiVirus software free or paid. Only scoring a 2/6 in protection. That said it did tie AntiVir in removal. While Panda Cloud AntiVirus ranked highest amongst the freebies in both protection and usability. AVG free and AntVir ranked highest combo with 14/18. However AVAST has the most shields and is the only one with true x64 support. AVG claims to have a x64 version but it's not full as it still installs in the programs (x86) folder. So in the end it depends on the OS you use, what is most important to you and if you're willing to pay for AntiVirus or not. If you have a 32 bit system then you can use Panda combined with other AntiVirus software (that's at least their claim). So what they say you could combine Panda Cloud with Microsoft Security Essentials for the best overall combo. But there are better options than MSE by itself. Panda,AVG,AVAST OR AntiVir are better choices due to MSE's low protection rate. I myself prefer AVAST and AntiVir. AVAST on x64 and AntiVir on x86. If I'm using paid I go with Kaspersky. It seems to be the most reliable paid AntiVirus year in and year out.
And as for Firewalls go, Windows 7 is an improvement but it's not on par with Comodo Firewall, not by a long shot. And Comodo Firewall is also free. Just remember to turn off Windows Firewall if you wish to use Comodo Firewall to avoid any conflicts.
Wow, that's some great info Matt!
1) It seems a bit difficult (getting one to run x64 and one x86) to a moderate skill level person like me. Maybe it's easier than it sounds?
2) How do you get one to only work on x86 and the other to only work on x64 without them fighting ea other? Could you expand/explain running 2 prog's ("AVAST on x64 and AntiVir on x86") at the same time?
3) Do you need to somehow disable &/or remove Microsoft Defender (that comes with Win7) if you use these other prog's?
4) I'm running Windows7 64bit (per "system" info) but I do see a "Program Files" folder that says "(x86)".
5) From your Feb 01 4:32AM post: "The only thing you have to worry about is MSE's protection. Just pair it up with Panda Cloud. I use x64 bit so my best free option is Avast. I'd choose AntiVir if I had a x32 bit system. Because as I said in my last post it's the most consistent." I'm a little confused here because you mentioned AntiVir as for x86 above. Maybe I'm confused, is it possible that x86 and x32 "bit" are the same thing?
Sorry if these seem like a stupid Q's.

"If he is born after midnight, he will be born on St. Patrick's Day," the nurse smiled, then gently closed the heavy wooden door to my labor and delivery room. I flashed a weak and nervous smile and sighed. He was not supposed to be here yet. We had already been warned that he could have a collapsed lung or spend days in the NICU.
He was not due until mid-April, yet here we were, ready to welcome to the world our first son.
Last week's ruling from the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals in the Kenneth Bartley case wasn't news- so to speak. What it was and still is disruptive and upsetting.
Pleas are meant to bring closure and allow people to move forward.
Bartley's plea has done nothing of the sort. Instead it has been a legal volleyball from the moment it was entered.
Seated in the jury box that day watching the 15- year- old Bartley agree he was guilty of fatally shooting Ken Bruce and wounding Jim Pierce and Gary Seals, I was concerned.
The outpouring of support for Campbell County Director of Schools Donnie Poston has been moving to say the least.
At last week's special called meeting many members of the community turned out in support of the embattled Poston. They rallied behind him in a show of support or force depending on where you fall on the issue of his contract renewal.
But why did it come to this?
The answer is simple. Some things never change.
It's been no secret that Donnie Poston's contract is a hot topic in the county right now.

What is the policy intent?
This scheme will help Australians who relocate to New Zealand and New Zealanders who relocate to Australia to consolidate their retirement savings in their country of residence and avoid paying fees and charges on accounts in two countries.
It is intended to remove a barrier to labour mobility between the two countries.
Although not a Super Reform measure, this scheme has links to a number of reform measures and is a change that APRA funds may need to consider.
Participation in the scheme is voluntary for both members and funds, and is scheduled to commence on 1 July 2013. Royal assent for the legislation was received on 10 December 2012.
Retirement savings once transferred will generally be subject to the rules in the host country.
What are the main legislative changes?
The regulations are currently being drafted.
New law
Current law
Members of Australian super funds may transfer their super to a New Zealand KiwiSaver scheme.
There are no provisions to allow members of Australian super funds who emigrate to transfer their super benefits to a foreign super fund.
Members of KiwiSaver schemes may transfer their retirement savings to an Australian super fund.
Retirement savings from foreign super funds may be transferred into the Australian super system.
Contributions from KiwiSaver schemes are:
Retirement savings transferred from foreign super funds are
Benefits transferred to a KiwiSaver scheme are not taxed on their exit from the Australian super system.
No equivalent
When benefits are transferred to a KiwiSaver scheme, the transferring trustee of the Australian fund must provide a statement in respect of the benefits to the KiwiSaver scheme provide and to the member.
How will it work?
Individuals will be able to transfer their retirement savings between a New Zealand KiwiSaver account and an APRA-regulated fund (other than a defined benefit fund).
Moving permanently from Australia to New Zealand
Individuals who receive super guarantee contributions or make contributions to an APRA-regulated fund in Australia that participates in this scheme, who then move permanently to New Zealand, will be able to transfer their super (in whole or part) to a KiwiSaver account with a New Zealand fund.
It will also be possible to transfer lump sum payments from an Australian SMSF to a KiwiSaver account.
Moving permanently from New Zealand to Australia
Individuals moving permanently from New Zealand to Australia will be able to transfer their super from a KiwiSaver account to a participating APRA fund. The amount transferred will be treated as non-concessional contributions and will be subject to the non-concessional contribution caps. Transfers in excess of the caps will be subject to the Excess Contributions Tax (ECT).
Where an amount is transferred from a KiwiSaver account to an APRA fund, it must remain in the fund until the member reaches age 65 and be identifiable as being a transfer from a KiwiSaver account. These amounts must be identified separately on the MCS.
In addition, these amounts can only subsequently be rolled over to another participating APRA fund and must be identified separately on the Rollover Benefit Statement (RBS).
You cannot transfer monies from a KiwiSaver into an SMSF.
Reporting and forms
The following forms are being amended to facilitate reporting of transfers to and from KiwiSaver accounts:
What isn't decided?
The following details are still being considered:
Last Modified: Friday, 5 April 2013

Divine Fits On World Cafe
By editor
Divine Fits' pedigree jumps out straight away: The band features Spoon's Britt Daniel, Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs, and New Bomb Turks' Sam Brown. Daniel and Boeckner met a few years ago when Daniel attended a Handsome Furs concert, and the two have remained friends ever since. They eventually formed Divine Fits together, not as a "supergroup" or side project, but as a real band with plans for the future.
A Thing Called Divine Fits ranges from urgent, hypnotic jams to intense and sincere acoustic tunes. As a whole, it blends Daniel and Boeckner's styles and voices into a vibrant, satisfying sound. In this session, Divine Fits' members discuss the making of their debut and perform four of its songs live.

The best thing about sandwiches is that there are so many different kinds to choose from. Let's face it, sandwiches are very personal—just ask anyone. What's delicious for some (peanut butter-BLT, for instance) may sound disgusting to others. When you were a kid, bologna on white with ketchup or a simple grilled cheese was probably your favorite thing ever, but now you've grown up a bit, and your tastes have matured.
And that's when, sometimes, only a hot sandwich will do. But there's days when a hot sandwich with a delicious bowl of au jus to dunk it in is the perfect meal, and then others when you want gooey, cheesy goodness melted all over that meat between two crispy pieces of bread.
Luckily, you're a fan of Benjies Deli. They've got four different kinds of their Big Dip Sandwich and four different choices for their Melts (five, really. Because if you ask nicely, they'll put a Garden™ Burger in a Melt!) (more…)

GRN Mexico has developed a diagnostic system to identify local languages.
Many different languages are spoken in the Migrant Labor camps in Mexico. The speakers might say their language is Zapoteco but they will not know which of the 73 dialects of Zapotec they speak. Or they might say their languages is Mixteco which has 77 dialects. They do, however know the name of the district they are from.
The maps in this diagnostic system help identify the appropriate dialect, by showing which dialects are spoken in each district. Each dialect has a code which is tied to one of the diagnostic recordings. These recordings have 30 second segments of each of the Zapotec or Mixtec dialects.
Diagnostic Recordings and Maps
There are four diagnostic recordings, with associated maps and dialect lists. The alphanumeric codes on each item on these recordings are indexes into the maps.
Mixtec | C38329 Diagnostic | Map | List |
Zapotec | C38330 Diagnostic | Map | List |
Otros | C38331 Diagnostic | Map | List |
Norte-Sur | C38332 Diagnostic | Map | List |
Click on each recording link above to see a list of the dialects each contain. Within those lists, click on the individual dialect names to see a full list of recordings in that dialect.
Select the appriate map, and find the general area the speaker is from. Identify the code, and use this code to identify the dialect name.
For example "M33" on the Mixteco map is at Costa Chica. This represents the sample with code "M33" on the Mixteco diagnostic recording. Play this sample, and some of the nearby ones as well, until the speaker identifies their own dialect.

"The Cart Before the Corpse"
Very entertaining, very educational, very worthwhile.
Having no experience of 'driving' horses, or even awareness that carts and carriages are driven, I painlessly learned a bit about the sport. This story is about a woman whose father dies before she gets a chance to complete a reconciliation. When she inherits his life's dream property and its headaches, her life gets more complicated. It doesn't bog in despair, but it allows time and space for real grief. It's a decent mystery, too. I recommend it and I will be reading more of this writer's work.
"Racing in the Rain - Excellent"
I don't usually like books that anthropomorphosize animals. It's an eye-rolling premise. Normally. This is not a 'normal' book. This is a little piece of written artwork and the dog's narrative was perfect. No one else could have done it. This book is about a dog and his man, about racing cars, about how families support and betray each other, about success and failure, about living and dying, and mostly about love. This is a story told by a dog on the verge of human-hood.
"The Crocodile Bird-not Rendell's best, still good"
Ruth Rendell's books are time-released cleverness. All the time you're reading, your brain is storing information - without you realizing it - and for days, weeks, maybe years after you've finished the book, the stored bits will drop into your consciousness at the strangest moments. You will realize you didn't understand the full import of the book when you finished it. You will have a flash of insight, an eyebrow-raising or jaw-dropping AHA! moment as another hidden clue or bit of plot slips into its place or a layer is revealed. I'm still thinking about this book weeks after I finished it. Not because the Crocodile Bird was a gripping page-turner, though the story, told in Scheherazade-style chunks, is compelling: a young woman tells her boyfriend tales of her strange childhood with a murdering mother. It was beautifully written, of course, and the narration was good. I'm still thinking about it because the characters became real to me and I'd like to know what happens to them for the rest of their lives.
I'm glad I read (heard) it and I recommend it to the readers who enjoy storytelling that expects your brain to get involved.
"The Test"
The only reason this book didn't get five stars from me was that it dragged and lagged a bit. It was a bit predictable, too. However, the characters were well-developed and their growth was believable. I kept turning the pages with interest.
"Twelve Clues is one of the best Lady G stories"
Lady Georgiana stories delight me. The concept is simple: a young royal (35th in line for the throne) without any money or much life experience tries to make it in the world on her own. It's after the 1st great war in England and Scotland and life is hard for everyone. In this story, Lady G's awful sister-in-law makes it impossible for her to stay in the Scottish family castle for the holidays, so she applies for a job assisting an English aristocrat with a classic English Christmas house party.
Bodies start piling up the day she arrives - one a day, made to appear accidental. Lady G determines she is 'noblesse oblige' to solve the murders before anyone else dies. Lord Darcy O'Mara, love of her life, shows up just in time to help her with enquiries and makes the season bright.
Highly recommended.
"Haunted on Bourbon Street - Not bad, not great"
I had a hard time getting through this and nearly gave up, but that's hard for me to do. There was just too much straining of my credulity and impatience with sex scenes to get over with so the story could go on. I finally finished reading the book on my kindle so I could get through the story faster and skip pages. If you like ghost stories, don't have a skeptical mind and get turned on by sexy scenes, you'll enjoy this book more than I did.
"Plum Island still holds up"
I read this book shortly after it was published. I didn't remember the story, but I remembered that I thought it was a good book. So I decided to listen to it. Good choice. DeMille could write a page-turning story, I knew. Scott Brick can tell his stories well, too.This is a good surprising mystery with an ending that makes you hope for a sequel.
"One of the best in the series!"
Oscar-rated narration, a wonderful, emotion-filled story, terrific character development and a wowee ending. This book has it all and I think it's one of the best in the series. Don't start reading the series with this one - it needs some backstory.
"The Narrator steals the show - Amazing!"
This book is 9th in a series of amusing and interesting tales made addictive and outstanding by the narrator. Ms. Rosenblat has developed voices for the characters that are instantly recognizable and incredibly varied. I hear Emerson's 'Bah!' in my head when I'd like to say the word myself in conversation.
If you think ' how can the story hold up after 9 books?' think about how relationships change, how children become adults, how wars shape the world, how archeological finds kept happening all the time in the period of time these books take place, and you'll understand why the story doesn't go stale.
The characters are far more entertaining that the mystery in this story, but I recommend it highly, nonetheless.
"The Emersons and the mummy case - a must listen"
Ms. Rosenblat's amazing narration of this series deserves some kind of award. An Oscar-of-audio books. She makes these already-great stories into masterpieces. She 'plays the roles' of the characters with a range from gruff manliness to sweet child and everything between.
The Mummy Case brings the Emersons back to Egypt, this time with precocious son Ramses along to enliven the tale. Their dig site is uninspiring, but the Master Criminal makes their lives interesting - and full of danger. And the Mummy Case comes and goes.
Amelia Peabody Emerson is hilarious and inspiring. Her stories are worth reading, and definitely worth listening to, if Ms. Rosenblat is doing the reading.
