I just found a brief tutorial for the software here.

Here's another section of the tutorial.

I downloaded and installed the speech utility, but when I went to try it out, I recieved a notification by my computer that I needed a "speech to text" utility. Does anyone know of a free one of these? Otherwise, I think this Speech tool will be useless.

This is very interesting, although it is not clear to me whether this runs entirely on the NXT brick (which is hard to believe) or on a PC. In the latter case, can the PC talk to the brick via bluetooth? or must it be connected via USB?

It appears you need MS Speech Recognizer and Text-to-Speech software. I can see how it would work. However, I assume the MS programs are not free, so this probably won't work for me :(

Thank you for your interest in GoTalk, I'm writing from Agilingua, the maker of GoTalk.
Sorry that our website is not very well laid out so you have some questions.
First of all, yes, as Pe-ads said, you need Misrosoft speech recognizer to use Gotalk and it is free if you are a Windows user. It should be on your OS but if not, you can download from the MS website.
The tutorial tells you how to do it, as well.
Sorry that you could not find the tutorial easily.
We also have our Blog at http://www.go-talk.info/en/blog/ so please visit and leave comment, critics, questions and anything.
You can use GoTalk for free for 15 days, please try out and we will appreciate your review.
Thank you,

I think it would be better to have this run on the NXT instead of a computer, mainly because some users are using desktops and those who have laptops might not want their NXTs slowed due to the weight of their laptops. There is also a problem with the distance that can be traveled from a computer with Bluetooth (still not connecting... I'll try USB again...) and USB. (Great news. Your robot is six feet away from your computer and connected with a five foot cord. And its taking your computer for a drag.)
There is also a problem with speech recognition software. If you start dictating to your computer, it may think you said something else. (I stopped using my Speech Recognition software after repeatedly saying "undo," as in undo the last action, which it interpreted as type a random word that sound something like undo)

Head-Mounted Displays for LEGO vehicles
Following the directions in the Jake of All Trades blog, I grabbed a battery box, 3.5 mm miniplug, & project enclosure from Radio Shack (the rest of it I had laying about, but still shouldn't set you back more than a couple bucks) and set to work. Trusting the regulator in the headset was good, I risked powering it at 12V DC (risky), so all I needed to do was power both the headset and receiver from the 8 AA batteries (through a switch for ease of use), and wire the video signal from the standard RCA output the receiver provides to the RCA+power miniplug to hook the headset into. I then hooked the battery box to the side of the project enclosure (with 3M Dual Lock), & the whole thing to the back of the receiver (more Dual Lock), and that was it. The result is a nice little B&W head-mounted display that can be stuck in a pocket or clipped to a belt, and allows me to drive around with a "robots eye view" - without needing a TV, or even a laptop & video card. Even for me, this was easy*, and I've not even bothered cracking open the headset unit to switch it to NTSC format (it is set to PAL video by default, & I'd probably get a better image if I performed the hack shown at Jake of All Trades).
Getting the entire "Spy Video Car" (around $100) might actually be a better option for some hackers - I suspect you could gut the RC car and controller for everything you need, already wired together, and just provide the power & case. But since I already had a camera handy, the fact that Wild Planet has just the video headset available ($25 at this time) made it a much cheaper option... not to mention a lot of fun to hack. And that's coming from a guy who is not exactly hacker-friendly (why do you think I like LEGO electronics?).
Now excuse me as I send LNE/Packbot on a search and destroy mission under my bed. I know I has a fresh pair of socks under there somewhere...
Brian Davis
*Well, it was "easy" after I figured out I had cross-wired the power and video signals to the headset, and then fought with the stupid soldering iron for 20 minutes trying to undo the work I'd just done... yes, I'm poor at soldering, but not quite as poor as the lousy resoldering job on the miniplug makes it look. And yes, it still seems to work after my mistreatment.

Brian, Great job! The package looks perfect...and your solder job isn't all that bad!
I am a little behind you in finishing this project (I have the same setup). Maybe you could send me that stomach bug.
Brian and I happened upon this Hack nearly on the same day fully unaware of eachother's actions.
We both have a bunch of cool ideas that I'm sure will force others to pick up a soldering iron and perform a hack job on something.
These sorts of things are very fun and can provide valuable skills development.

...They can also provide valuable flesh burns... well, if you value those things ;).
I look forward to seeing what you come up with, Chris (& others). The biggest question I have is batteries & voltage - the receiver needs 12V DC, but the headset should work fine on less than half that. But two power supplies wouldn't be as small as I'd like, and regulating two voltages off the batteries was more than my off-the-top-of-my-head skill level.

I *do* have daughters, actually... and they wanted to play with it as much as me & my son :). We spent a good part of the afternoon sneaking up on a rather passive cat (he's used to the LEGO chaos, so yet another robot trying to run him down hardly raises a whisker).

I've tried the moving folders option, but no such luck. The metadata is working correctly in the desktop search, so I don't think it's the files themselves.
I think the only sure fire way to get the app to ask the search indexer again is to uninstall it and then reinstall it. As for the search indexer itself, you should be able to go into the folders in File Explorer on the desktop and see if it's actually properly indexing the metadata for those files (i.e. searching artist:"Jason Mraz" should return only files where Jason Mraz is in the artist metadata tag, and any files it doesn't pick up aren't being indexed properly). You could force an entire rebuild of the Windows Search Indexer database, but deleting folders should do.
Try maybe moving the files into a non indexable location (like a memory stick), and then moving them back, possibly into a different folder?
I'll try uninstalling the Music app and letting you know how it goes.

Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a form of lung failure. It is a life-threatening lung condition. ARDS can occur in very ill or severely injured people. It is not a specific disease.
ARDS starts with the tiny blood vessels in the lungs. These vessels leak fluid into the lung sacs. The fluid decreases the ability of the lungs to move oxygen into the body.
ARDS can develop in anyone over the age of one year old.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
ARDS may occur within few days of a lung or bone marrow transplantation.
ARDS develops most often in people who are being treated for the conditions listed above. Very few who have these issues will go on to develop ARDS.
They often develop within 24-48 hours of the injury.
Often, ARDS patients are sedated to tolerate these treatments.
To help reduce your chances of getting ARDS, seek timely treatment for any direct or indirect injury to the lungs.

Designs for a £1.5m facelift at Kirkgate are under fire
Last updated at 20:46, Thursday, 29 March 2012
£1.5 MILLION plans to transform Cockermouth's Kirkgate Centre have attracted criticism from the town's civic trust and some councillors.
The arts centre has lodged plans with Allerdale council to extend the former Victorian school building to create a foyer, cafe bar, seating area and box office.
The broad scheme has been backed by the trust and nearby residents, but there have been specific objections to a proposal to use modern materials on the exterior.
A mixture of glass, zinc, copper and stone would be used. The centre said this would contrast with the existing architecture, while traditional materials would not be suitable because of site constraints.
The civic trust has suggested an independent review of the designs.
A trust spokesman said: "We have reservations and concerns over the proposed appearance and design.
"Given the nature and probable controversy the proposal presents, we suggest an independent review would be a welcome addition to the consultation."
At a Cockermouth Town Council meeting last Wednesday, Councillor Alan Kennon said: "This is in a conservation area and it looks like a tin farm shed and doesn't fit in."
Coun Eric Nicholson said that several people had complained to him about the plans.
Allerdale council has been sent 13 letters of objection and 11 letters of support.
Susan Coombs, of Kirkgate, said: "I am all in favour of plans to improve the facilities and give it a facelift as it will be creating jobs for the town.
"However, the extensions will make it unrecognisable and destroy the architecture.
"We should accept it in principle but have a new design with something more sympathetic. The extensions will double it in size and will affect the character of the town because it is in a conservation area."
Kate Parry, development manager at the Kirkgate Centre, said: "We've worked very hard with architects from the local Green Design Group to create a design we believe will be an innovative and beautiful new addition to Cockermouth.
"The aim is to produce a building that is sustainable and sympathetic to its location, which provides excellent facilities for local people, attracts visitors and is a real asset to the town.
"We've consulted extensively with the local community and invited our neighbours, town councillors, members of the civic trust, users of the centre and our own volunteers to give their ideas and comments on the proposals."
She added: "We will be holding a meeting with Allerdale council, and it is not appropriate to comment further until that meeting has taken place."

Have your say
I find Jonty Chippendale's obsession with the Kirkgate cafe and busines model odd. The cafe is not seen as a money spinner per se but as an added facility for the Centre's users. To dismiss it as another coffee shop is plain daft. However, at least Mr Chippendale is good enough to reveal his identity clearly and not rely on an apparent pseudonym or, at best, part of a name, as does 'Delia', whose comment seems redolent more of sour grapes than 'low fat spread'.
I approve of the design. Thank goodness the Kirkgate has vision otherwise the area will be stuck in some time warp. People need to accept change. This is positive and from a worthwhile local group who give their time freely without profit as their motive. Delia needs to stick to her home cooking and not aspire to michelin star design.

Tom W. was flipping through his new copy of FIRST LEGO League: The Unofficial Guide and got to page 15... then 16... then - WAIT A minute - flip back to 15! That photo looks familiar... he flipped back and realized his kitchen table was famous!
Seriously - Jonathan and I tried to give credit where we could for photos but this one got overlooked. Thanks, Tom, for the picture of all the nice FLL model pieces resting in their packaging... and sorry we missed crediting you. Nice table!

Oh my! I got my copy of the book a couple of days ago, but had not had time to open it (getting my classroom ready for school to start next week). I started reading it tonight, and right there on page 5 is a picture of my team! I am so excited for the boys. I'm emailing the team parents tonight. I think I can guarantee at least eight more book sales.
Thank you so much for putting Team 299 Bearbotics in your book!

Well, they were much braver then the rest of us.
Members of the front office staff dressed in Rapids uniforms and old cheerleader outfits and topped with a Rapids burgundy beanie jumped into the icy waters of Chatfield Reservoir this afternoon as part of the 4th Annual Colorado Polar Plunge to help raise money for the Special Olympics.
At a little after 1 pm, with the temperature not quite at 20 degrees, the group walked out on the ice of the reservoir to the cut out triangle that formed the four feet deep 'pool.' I can only imagine the questions going through their heads as they stood on the edge and finally jumped in.

According to Weather.com, Saturday's noon tempurature in Denver is supposed to be about 27 degrees, with a 'feels like' of 19 degrees. That's what nine members of the Colorado Rapids front office staff will be facing as they take the Polar Plunge to help raise awareness and money for Special Olympics Colorado.
President Tim Hinchey and CMO Jeff Jacobson are among the staffers that will dress in old Rapids uniforms and the old cheerleading outfits and jump into the freezing waters of the Chatfield Reservoir. The other members of the staff (that have not yet chickened out) are Wayne Brant, Alex Teal, Rebecca Payne, Rachel Sweeney, Christa Dellebovi, and Kristen Sonsma.
Even though online registration is closed, people (or teams) can sign up on the spot beginning at 11 am. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.

A Starkville man will begin a five-year term on the Starkville School District Board nearly one year after applying for a previous open seat.
On a 4-1 vote, the Starkville Board of Aldermen selected Eric Heiselt to fill the seat being vacated by Bill Weeks. Heiselt will begin March 8. Ward 6 Alderman Roy A'. Perkins voted against the decision.
He first was a candidate for the seat being vacated by Dr. Walter Taylor last year. The board first selected Susan Tomlinson to fill the slot, but Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman vetoed the action. In his veto last March, Wiseman said he disagreed with the "level of attention that the Board of Aldermen gave to the importance of diversity in representation in evaluating the candidates for the position."
Ultimately, the board appointed the Rev. Lee Brand Jr. to the post.
On Tuesday, the board first voted 2-3 on the nomination of Juliette Weaver-Reese, with Perkins and Ward 2 Alderwoman Sandra Sistrunk casting votes in favor of her and Ward 1 Alderman Ben Carver, Ward 3 Alderman Eric Parker and Ward 4 Alderman Richard Corey voting against the decision.
Then, they affirmed Heiselt, the director of outreach at Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University.
After the selection, Heiselt said he was excited about the chance to "serve the citizens of Starkville, especially the children of Starkville," he said.
"The biggest thing I want to make sure is that the community feels comfortable coming and talking to the school board, knowing that we can't solve every problem, (but) we take every challenge seriously," Heiselt said.
The board interviewed but but did not vote on Alfreda Outlaw or Doug Bedsaul.
In a separate matter, the board voted 4-3 to to hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to the city's sidewalk ordinance. Carver, Sistrunk, Corey and Ward 5 Alderman Jeremiah Dumas voted in favor of the hearing, while Parker, Perkins and Ward 7 Alderman Henry Vaughn Sr. voted against it.
In unrelated matters, the board approved the final plat for The Creamery at Central Station Phase II, located in a C-2 general business zoning district on South Montgomery Street and Highway 12 Extension Phase II, a final plat located in a C-2 district on Highway 12 East.
Editor's note: Additional items of interest from Tuesday's Starkville Board of Aldermen meeting will appear in Thursday's edition of the newspaper.

My first contact was in Spring 2005. Renta dragged me from the undergrowth and Uncle Bernard suggested in a tone that implied we better turn up.
I was supposed to talk with Terry about the Jewellery some time in the afternoon, but I joined the signing queue instead. When i reached the front I asked for the book to be made to 'Barrie, the Jeweller'. Terry put down his pen and looked at me with a smile and said something like "So its your fault then".
We then chatted about casting and old fashioned Jewellery techniques, I got my book signed and we had another little chat later about horses and things shiny.

There are some new features in Google Apps this week:
(1) Google Docs Format Painter
There's a similar function in MS Word. What Format Painter does is copy the currently-selected format and style and apply it to the next thing you select (with a single click or a select-drag. Pro: a quick way to copy formatting to another section of your document. Con: it doesn't give you a way of managing the formatting of saved styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) or a way to change the formatting of "all similar text", functions that I have always found useful in MS Word. But it's a start.
(2) Improved Accessibility for Google Apps
Google reports that they have made changes to better support screen readers like JAWS, VoiceOver, and ChromeVox. They also added new keyboard shortcuts to assist blind and visually-impaired users.
(3) Improved Contacts interface...? On 9/13, Google announced that we (Scheduled Release Google Apps for Education users) would have an improved Contacts interface. I haven't seen any changes yet.
There are some new features in Google Apps this week:
SciEng Staff,
I have another Google Apps update for you. Next Tuesday (8/30), we'll have page-level permissions for Google Sites. That means that we can create hierarchies of pages within a site while micro-managing who has access to which page. I'm currently on a group that's considering the future of the UL Wiki, so I find this new feature particularly interesting.
The other change on Tuesday will be the option to attach a vcard in Gmail. There seems to be a steady stream of silent updates to Google Apps, and I've only been selecting the few most relevant ones. If you're curious about them, there is a calendar you can follow (let me know if you're interested.)
Sci/Eng Staff,
Google Reader for UMN : it's here! I talked with a Google Implementation Team member, and he told me that they flipped the switch last Thursday. When you're logged in (http://google.umn.edu), you'll see in the bar at the top your usual options: Mail, Calendar, Docs, etc. Go to "More". Not everything on this page is actually activated at the U, but scroll down to the "Social" section (third section from the bottom) and click on Reader.
The person I talked to didn't have any tips about migrating your RSS subscriptions from your personal account, and he also stressed that support questions for Reader should go to Google and its support forums, not email@example.com. At the moment, they are only supporting the core apps: mail, calendar, docs, sites, and contacts.
There's a group called "ITLA" that reviews requests for new apps and changes to apps every month. The requests they have received include FeedBurner, Picasa, Google Labs for Gmail, and Google Groups, among others.
That's as much as I learned yesterday. I'll keep you all apprised if I hear more.
Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know about upcoming changes in our Google Apps, starting next Tuesday (7/19). Here are the three that I thought were most notable:
(1) New look: I haven't seen screenshots or found a lot of details on this, but according to Google, we are due to receive "a series of design improvements across all our products". At first, we will be able to opt out by switching back to a "classic view", but eventually, the changes will be permanent. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/evolving-google-design-and-experience.html
(2) The People Widget: in Gmail, when we're looking at an open conversation, we'll see a widget on the right-hand side with a list of people involved in the conversation. This will give us options to other emails with those individuals, shared events, shared documents, plus other communication options like chat. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/introducing-people-widget.html
(3) Additional phishing protection: now, the actual sender email address will appear next to the sender's self-reported identity. So for example, next to "Charles Heinz", you will see "firstname.lastname@example.com". Or, if someone was masquerading as me, you would see, "Charles Heinz" and maybe "firstname.lastname@example.com" adjacent to it. So this isn't an improvement on spam filters or anything automatic like that. It's just bringing forward information that used to be somewhat hidden. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/protect-yourself-from-scams-by-knowing.html
A few new features popped up with our UMN Google Apps accounts this week:
(1) Appointment Slots
This is a feature that was probably designed for instructor office hours and hair salons. You can now share portions of your calendar to allow people to create an appointment on your calendar between specified hours. As an example, I've set up an appointments calendar for UThink: https://www.google.com/calendar/selfsched?sstoken=UUU5aE9QN0xIMnV1fGRlZmF1bHR8NDE3ZWU0ZjkzZTg3NTkwYTY5YzJmMmFhMmU5ZDVjNWI
More information on Appointment Slots.
(2) Default meeting length
You can now set your default meeting length in your calendar settings:
(3) Calendar printing : select a date range
I think this is one we can all benefit from. We can now select a date range when we're printing our calendar.
(4) Nested labels
In Gmail, you can now create multiple levels of labels, allowing you to collapse labels with +/-, almost like sub-folders. As neat as this is for keeping your list of labels tidy, I've found a couple shortcomings:
(a) Sub-labels can't be hidden without hiding the parent label and all of its "sibling" labels.
(b) If you give a conversation a sub-label, it's not implied that it should also be given the parent label. To illustrate this point, here's my example. I have a parent label called "PSE" and a sub-label called "Janice". Suppose I got an email from Janice, and I labeled it "Janice". If I click on the "PSE" label in my list, I won't see that one that I labeled "Janice". Weird, huh? I think some programmer at Google fell asleep during logic class. :) (Modus ponens, anyone?)

Inspired by the first alpine expedition jackets, this modern field parka has a 2-layer H2No Performance Standard recycled polyester shell, a DWR (durable water repellent) finish, glued seams and Traceable Down (third-party-verified, non-live-plucked, non-force-fed) 600-fill-power duck down New.
2-layer H2No Performance Standard shell fabrics are completely waterproof, windproof and breathable.
Designed for a wide range of uses, from backpacking to snowboarding, 2-layer H2No® Performance Standard shell fabrics utilize a taffeta or mesh lining rather than a bonded scrim to protect the waterproof/breathable barrier. The lining increases the garments wicking ability, durability and next-to-skin comfort.
2-layer H2No Performance Standard shell fabrics are coated with DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish that repels light rain and snow. In conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.
All products bearing the H2No mark have been vigorously tested for durability in our Killer Wash.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

Jammu is actually a combination of two towns, and is especially known for its temples and shrines. People come from all over the country and abroad to pay their respects to the various Gods that are worshipped here. There are also numerous places of worship for Christians, Muslims and Sikhs that stand testament to communal harmony that prevails in the city.
Along the banks of the river Tawi is the majestic Bahu fort. This fort once guarded the city from foreign invasions. But the lush terraced gardens, waterfalls and flowers of all kinds have made it a symbol of peace and grandeur. Over weekends, this is a popular picnic spot.
Besides its breathtaking views and many temples, Jammu is a also good place for shopping. Visitors can expect to find a fine mix of traditional Kashmiri handicrafts and modern fashion at great bargains.
All in all, Jammu makes for an unforgettable holiday.
Population: About 2.5 lakh Climate: Summers here are quite hot, with temperatures soaring to 45 degrees. Winters are cold, with the temperature dipping as low as 4 degrees. Jammu experiences moderate rainfall, sometimes even in the winter months.
Main Language(s): Urdu, Hindi and English Time Zone: GMT + 05:30
Phone Area Code: 0191
Best Time To Visit: Between September and April.
Airport Distance from City Center: 9 kms Taxi Rates from Airport to City: Private taxi service available at Rs. 200 to city centre.
Peer Khoh
This cave shrine is located 3.5 kms from the town of Jammu. This shrine is dedicated to Shiva and a naturally formed Shivaling is worshipped here. The antiquity of this lingam is not known. It is said that this cave gives way to other underground caves and shrines, some of which are even located outside India.
Ranbireshwar Temple
This temple was built by Maharaja Ranbir Singh in 1883 A.D., and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The main Shivalingam in the temple is seven and half feet in height surrounded by many small crystal Shivalings.
Raghunath Temple
This temple is dedicated to Lord Rama. The inner walls of the temple are covered with gold sheets on three sides. The surrounding areas of the temple are dedicated to other Gods and Goddess from the epic Ramayana. The temple is located in the heart of Jammu. Mahraja Gulab Singh, founder of the state of Jammu, began construction of the temple in 1835, but was unable to complete it. His son, Maharaja Ranbir Singh completed construction in 1860.
Ranbir Canal
These gardens are located on banks of a canal which branches from River Chenab. The gardens provide excellent walkways and an exquisite view of the surrounding areas. Even in summers, water in the canal remains ice cold. The Ranbir Canal is a popular picnic spot.
Bahu Fort
The original fort was built by Raja Bahulochan about 300 years ago, and was later modified and improved by Dogra rulers. This fort is perhaps the oldest edifice in Jammu. The fort is built on rocks facing the Tawi river. A temple dedicated to Goddess Kali is also inside Bahu Fort. Close to Bahu fort are exquisitely laid gardens, which a provide a spectacular view of Jammu. Behind the fort is a forest, which surrounds the Maha Maya temple.
Peer Baba
Jammu is home to the famous dargah of the Muslim saint, Peer Budhan Ali Shah. On Thursdays apart from Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs also come in large numbers to pay their respects to the Saint.
Mubarak Mandi Palace
The architecture of this palace is a unique blend of Rajasthani, Mughal and Gothic styles. The palace complex dates back to 1824 A.D. The Sheesh Mahal segment in the palace is most famous. The pink hall has now been converted into the Dogra art museum, which is a treasure house of miniature paintings from the various hill schools.
Eating out
Traditional Kashmiri cooking is called Wazhawan and comprises mostly of non-vegetarian dishes. It is rich and aromatic with a wonderful flavour unique to Kashmiri cuisine. Most Kashmiris are meat eaters. However, although they eat meat, surprisingly, many traditional Kashmiris don't include garlic and onion to their cooking. One of the distinct features of Kashmiri cuisine is the generous use of yoghurt in the gravies, giving the dishes a creamy consistency.
Jammu also offers visitors a wide choice of multi-cuisine restaurants to dine at.
