Product description
David Sedaris's remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this new book of stories. Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life - the etiquette of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger or how to soundproof your windows with LP covers against neurotic songbirds - to the most deeply resonant human truths. Taking in the parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law's leg, an encounter with a dingo and the purchase of a human skeleton, and culminating in a brilliant account of his attempt to quit smoking - in Tokyo - David Sedaris's sixth story collection is a fresh masterpiece of comic writing.

Author information
David Sedaris lives in Paris. Raised in North Carolina, he has worked as a housecleaner and most famously, as a part-time elf for Macy's. Several of his plays have been produced, and he is a regular contributor to Esquire and Public Radio International's 'This American Life.
Review quote
A virtual Klondike of darkly glittering anecdotes. Adam Mars-Jones, Observer 'Sedari s' anecdotes play off his sublime talent for turning the absurdly neurotic into the hilariously funny. GQ Howlingly funny, jaw-snappingly honest and endlessly perceptive... Sedari s' wellspring of quirky yet strangely universal comic experiences show no sign of drying up. Tom Cox, Daily Mail The most popular American humorist since Woody Allen... As a prose stylist he is often compared to that other great New Yorker writer James Thurber - dry, mordant, pitch perfect. As a human being, the most obvious comparison is with the comedian Larry Davi Ngel Farndale, Sunday Telegraph

Who Cares About Your Business Processes?
Date Added: Mar 2010
Format: PDF
This paper states that project management and communication were everyone's business, up and down the hierarchy of work components and also across the delivery chain. This can be seen by the following figure. In putting all this together, the author realized through Mike that the real end products are more than physical and technical things, and that the job is not done until deliverers have assured that the responsibility for each end product has been transferred unambiguously to the acceptor. This means that project management, if seen as a stream of work, actually requires a network of relationships to be managed.

Cafe Bardeli/Bewley's: wheelchair accessible restaurant w/ good food
The food is very good at this restaurant. It is one of the few restaurants with wheelchair accessible toilets and access on Grafton. I totally recommend the mackerel pate and the pizzas (beef and jalapeno pizza was great). If you do order a pizza, the portion size is big enough for at least 2 people to share. Make sure to stock up on tea from Bewley's before you go back to your home country (if it is not readily available in your home country).
Favorite Dish: Mackerel pate.
Cafe Bar Deli: Great great great
What to say about this restaurant/deli/bar/cafe? We went there after a shopping trip to Grafton St. with acking feet and cold everything else longing for a cup of coffe. The waitress was so friendly with us we decided to go back for dinner the next day. And boy, I am glad we did. It was last wednesday and it was crowded, however we didn't wait long. We ordered the homemade bread to start and share and then both of us pizza; everything was so good and tasty. We couldn't make it to dessert but I bet they were just as good. Price was reasonable and atmosphere was so nice just as the waiters; portions are big. great value and a really nice place to dine. If I go back to Dublin this is a place I will definetely go back to.
Favorite Dish: any pizza.
Cafe Bar Deli: Cafe Bar Deli
After finishing a tour our bus left off at Grafton Street. Our hunger compelled us to find a place to eat. The sounds of Brewley's on Grafton Street intrigued my mother and I so we went in. There are four levels. On the top level there is a café theater. On the ground floor there is a café and patisserie serving breakfast, tea, coffee and pastries from 8.00am. We wanted to sit down and eat so we headed up. On the second floor there is a fish restaurant called Mackerel. Since I do not eat sea food I almost walked out of the place. However, one of the staff told us that on the first and ground level toward the back there is a restaurant called Café Bar Deli. It was here that we headed. The interior is a traditional mix of dark wood, amber glass, and deep red velvet. This place Bewley's which we stumbled upon is an Irish institution it first opened in 1840. When we received the menu we wanted to try something different. I had the pizza with Roasted red peppers, pinenuts, tomato, goats cheese, mozzarella and basil pesto while my mother ate the Egg tagliatelle w/ chicken, roast peppers & pesto cream. While we waited we had some of the soup which was ok. When the food came out the pizza was a bit burned in the crush however the combination of ingredients were excellent. My mother liked her dish as well and I liked the forkful I manage to steal off her plate. Many Irish people as well as tourist go here so the person watching is good. You can do this while you eat.
Favorite Dish: The pizza with Roasted red peppers, pinenuts, tomato, goats cheese, mozzarella and basil pesto and the Egg tagliatelle w/ chicken, roast peppers & pesto cream
Cafe Bar Deli: Voted Dublin's Best Restaurant... and it is!
Cafe Bar Deli isn't a cafe, nor a bar, nor a deli, nor a restaurant... yet it embodies all of these things.
This place won the award in 2004 for the best restaurant/eatery in Dublin. I can see why.
I love it, very much. It's good value, it's got a good menu, the place is buzzing, the food is excellent, it's warm, it's spacious, it's in a historic building... it just has everything.
A trip to Dublin wouldn't be complete without it.
Favorite Dish: Their pizzas are great. So first thing you do is ask what the special pizza of the day is, because they change it frequently.
Failing that, go for the Chicken salad with bread squares, and if you're feeling really peckish, make sure you go for the add-bacon option.
Best tip til last though. The brownies with cream and ice cream are the best dessert I've ever had, anywhere. Seriously.
Cafe Bar Deli: Great food, great atmosphere, great prices
The name says it all, its a cafe, a bar, and a deli.
Great antipasta, pizzas and pasta, unlike so many of the other 'italian' restuarants you will find in Dublin.
No booking, just walk in, and have a drink at the bar while you're waiting. Always buzzing and bustling atmosphere.
Very cheap for Dublin. Big portions, and bloody tasty.. Can't go wrong.
Favorite Dish: I particularly like the Roast vegtable and cous cous salad.
Tasty tasty tasty. Roast meditarianian vegtable, with hummous, chilli and tapenade dips, on a bed of cous cous.
Mountainous portions (if you opt for the large version)
Can be a little oily sometimes though...

I'm Thankful For... Our Troops
For Kellie Pickler, Grateful Means Giving Back to Those Who Risk Their Lives for Freedom
Kellie Pickler came back in a surprisingly good mood. "You only hear bad things on the news, like how many people were killed on this day or that, but when I sat down with the soldiers, they said so many positive things are happening, I was really surprised," says the singer, 25. "They're building schools, cleaning streets and making it safer for families. One soldier was describing how kids can play soccer in the street there now. They feel like they're making a difference." Pickler, whose paternal grandfather was a Marine, took only a small group of acoustic players with her so she could visit some of the more remote bases in Iraq. "If you take a full band and a big production, you are limited in where you can go," she says. "We went to some bases that no one had ever visited before, either because it was too dangerous or it was so small it was just overlooked. Soldiers would come up to me and say, 'Thank you so much for coming over,' and I'm like, 'All I did was hop on a plane. You're here every day, so thank you!' I'm just grateful to be able to bring them a little piece of home." That's not to say the American Idol alum doesn't squeeze in a little play time while she's out there. "Every kid had a GI Joe, and it's kind of neat to pretend you're a little GI Joe," she says. "On an off day, I love to shoot machine guns and ride around in the tanks."

How can we get our toddler to let us brush his teeth?
My toddler refuses to let me or my husband brush his teeth. He simply clenches his mouth closed. We've tried using gauze on our fingertips and a child-sized toothbrush. We've even tried brushing our teeth together, as a family, and letting him hold his own toothbrush. Nothing has worked. I'd appreciate any suggestions or tips.

My son will turn to 20 months in a week. He brushes his teeth with Toddler's toothpates "SAFE TO SWALLOW" after he wakes up and before he goes to bed. Actually he doesn't brush his teeth but I guess he's enjoying the taste of the toothpaste. I started giving him the toothbrush with the toothpaste a few months ago, hoping that this will give him a good habit of brushing teeth twice a day. But I started wondering "is it really safe to swallow that toothpaste as it says "SAFE TO SWALLOW"? I would appreciate any comment on this.posted 08/14/2006 by miky0217
Just one comment to Lainsy's Dad. A lot of your ideas are good, but the one about your daughter's cousin who's 7 and has lost a few teeth. What happens when your daughter's teeth naturally start to fall out? What do you tell her then, that she didn't brush well enough, when it's supposed to happen for her adult teeth to come in? That tatic in my book is not very helpful. Stick with the truth, always the best policy. If you want to go with the lost teeth idea, show her someone or a picture of someone who has really lost their teeth because of poor or no brushing.posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Ellen- We started to have the same problem recently, but through trial and error we created the say ah game. Kind of like the peek a boo game. Get them to keep repeating ah and opening their mouths with you for awhile then start to work in the teeth. I think as long as they think its a game they'll do it.posted 08/14/2006 by jengwyn
Our 18 month old used to fight us tooth and nail until we started singing the ABC song while we brush. She hums along and lets us do it. Often she even asks for us to do it again which of course we are more than happy to do. If she wants after we are done she can "brush" her teeth herself but we do it first. 99% of the time it works like a charm plus she is learning her ABC's.posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
These days the only way I get my son son of 22months to brush is to give him the toddler toothbrush with the protectant ring. He chews on it for an extended period of time.posted 08/14/2006 by Jhurae'smon
We have used several tactics. Once, we bought our 3 year old an electric toothbrush. He loves it. We also, sometimes, play a game...while he is brushing his teeth, he has to finish before the song I am singing is over. We also have 4 different flavors of toothpastes and let him choose. ALSO, I walk around with my teeth hidden saying "hello, I'm Jack, and I have no teeth". For some reason, it works like a charm when he knows his teeth will fall out and he'll look funny. See...we've needed to switch our tactics every few months - so just because once works now, does not mean it will in 2 months!posted 08/14/2006 by DerrithS
Both of our daughters; now aged two & a half years and 17 months went through periods of time where they were willing to 'fight to the end' to avoid having us brush their teeth. I can't say that anything we have done is magic and works like a charm but now they are both for the most part cooperative and it gets done morning and night...and sometimes in between. Here are just a few ideas from the ever evolving list of things we have tried to keep them interested and willing. -Get them their own toothbrush that they hold onto...teach them that you brush then they brush (or whatever works) you have your own brush and then there is no stress about trying to take it from them to get some actual brushing done. -We have taught the girls that we brush to get rid of the 'cavity bugs' and this seems to give them a challenge to focus on...sometimes we'll brush ours before to show them that mommy and daddy have to get the cavity bugs too (thats if there is resisitance; usually perks their interest). Of course keeping it fun and lite; not to scare them about 'cavity bugs' it's just a fun distraction and then if you want to really get those molars in fun you can say open your mouth and then say (excitedly) I see one back there let me get it and brush the back teeth...that almost always brought some laughter from our girls. -Keep getting new toothbrushes/pastes...make a big deal out of choosing one together and or bringing one home for them regularily or at least when we started sensing boredom or resistance we made a point of getting them something different...new theme or powered rotating etc. Now that they are past the very resistive part we don't need to use the toothbrush as a draw and have moved onto silly noises or other distractions. -Keep it ROUTINE...that is a big one. I know in all the baby and childrens books they always talked about bedtime routines and for the most part we have one...but since we started keeping a stronger bedtime routine including the toothbrushing; it is just a part of it now and not something that they fight (at least most of the time; we're only human).... -Probably the biggest one though...is keep it fun and start that early (like before teeth or by the first tooth) so that when it becomes important it's already a well laid out pattern of a thing they don't mind and may even like to do...it will definitly take some work and persistance and creative thinking on your part as the parent but ummm....what doesn't with kids! Good Luck. Mom to: Emily 2.5yrs-Gracie 17monthsposted 08/14/2006 by caendo
I let my two-year-old brush his own teeth in the morning, but at night I do it. He kept fighting me at night until I showed him how to go "aaah!" He's allowed to make as loud of an "aaah" as he wants, and he loves making noise, so it works pretty well. I'm still fighting my 1-year-old who is now cutting his molars, so there will soon be 16 teeth in his little mouth. I'm not sure if he's too young for the "aaah" game, but I'm going to try. And I'm going to finish reading all these wonderful comments to get more ideas.posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter is 13 months and has 18 teeth, 9 on top and 9 on bottom, basically all of them I think?? She has no room for anymore! So it is a strugle to brush her teeth, and when we dont you can see that yellow build up on them! So we basically let her do it first then do touch ups very quickly when she is done, this is a lot of teeth for a very active 13 month old so it takes time to get to them all and she is not the patient type!posted 08/14/2006 by bellamy2be
We have twin toddlers and an 18-month-old, and we have the kids sit in the kitchen before bed to brush their teeth. The only child who clamped her mouth shut is our youngest, and we just used reverse psychology to win her over - we wouldn't "let" her brush her teeth, but then she'd want to because she'd see how much fun her big brother and sister were having. One game I started, to get them to brush their teeth longer, was to dance to their "teeth music." As long as I can hear them brushing their teeth, I do a dorky dance in the middle of the kitchen. If the brushing stops, I stop. They always want more, and they giggle as they brush. Sometimes they so get into the brushing game that I have to sweet-talk them into relinquishing their brushes.posted 08/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member

Do not be fooled by the scraps from the table in Chancellor Osborne's 2011 budget, says Urban Forum chief executive, Toby Blume, analysing the implications for charities, enterprise, environment, planning and poverty. Sadly, the real damage has already been done.
The first full budget from a government claiming to be the "greenest ever" is a betrayal of an environmental future, says Green MP Caroline Lucas.
Responding to Chancellor George Osborne's budget yesterday, Oxfam has highlighted once again the need for a proper financial transaction tax.
Those who have learned their lines as the government intends might think they have been dealt a good, or at least unavoidable budget yesterday. However, many of us are profoundly sceptical of the twin tropes which Messrs Cameron and Osborne have been repeating endlessly in the hope that they will somehow become the backdrop of our thinking.
The Budget does nothing to help poor and vulnerable people targeted by the government's programme of cuts, says Church Action on Poverty.
Scottish Greens have said that Chancellor George Osborne's Budget statement today is "brimful of the wrong economic medicine."
The Institute for Fiscal Studies says that measures due to come into place in April 2011 will be equivalent to a loss of £200 per household on average.
The New Economics Foundation says that the 2011 Budget set out by the chancellor today is "long on growth rhetoric, but short on concrete action".
Protesters against the coalition government's cuts policies are using Budget Day (23 March) as an opportunity to galvanise public support.
Once again, as the budget looms, the government is looking down the wrong end of the economic telescope.

J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap. 36, 140–153.
The pharmacokinetics of tildipirosin (Zuprevo® 40 mg/mL solution for injection for pigs), a novel 16-membered-ring macrolide for the treatment for swine respiratory disease (SRD), was investigated in studies collecting blood plasma and postmortem samples of lung tissue and bronchial fluid (BF) from swine. In view of factors influencing the in vitro activity of macrolides, and for the interpretation of tildipirosin pharmacokinetics in relation to minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC), additional experiments were conducted to study the effects of pH, carbon dioxide-enriched atmosphere, buffers, and serum on tildipirosin MICs for various reference strains and Actinobacillus (A.) pleuropneumoniae field isolates. After single intramuscular (i.m.) injection at 4 mg/kg body weight, maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) was 0.9 μg/mL observed within 23 min (Tmax). Mean residence time from the time of dosing to the time of last measurable concentration (MRTlast) and terminal half-life (T1/2) both were about 4 days. A dose–response relationship with no significant sex effect is observed for area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time 0 to the last sampling time with a quantifiable drug concentration (AUClast) over the range of doses up to 6 mg/kg. However, linear dose proportionality could not be proven with statistical methods. The time–concentration profile of tildipirosin in BF and lung far exceeded that in blood plasma. In lung, tildipirosin concentrations reached 3.1 μg/g at 2 h, peaked at 4.3 μg/g at day 1, and slowly declined to 0.8 μg/g at day 17. In BF, tildipirosin levels were 14.3, 7.0, and 6.5 μg/g at days 5, 10, and 14. T1/2 in lung was ∼7 days. Tildipirosin is rapidly and extensively distributed to the respiratory tract followed by slow elimination. Culture media pH and carbon dioxide-enriched atmosphere (CO2-EA) had a marked impact on in vitro activity of tildipirosin in reference strains of various rapidly growing aerobic and fastidious bacteria including Histophilus (H.) somni ATCC 700025 and A. pleuropneumoniae ATCC 27090. For A. pleuropneumoniae ATCC 27090 testing conditions without CO2-EA resulted in reduced acidification of culture media pH and a reduction in the minimum inhibitory concentrations compared to standard in vitro test conditions by 2 log2 dilution steps (4-fold) from 8 to 2 μg/mL. Supplementary buffering of standard culture media resulted in a reduction in the A. pleuropneumoniae (n = 8) MIC range by 4 log2 dilution steps (16-fold) from 8–16 to 0.5–1 μg/mL. Incremental supplementation of culture media with 50% serum resulted in noticeable shifts to lower minimum or maximum MICs by at least 2 log2 dilution steps (≥4-fold) in all aerobic and fastidious reference strains tested except for Pasteurella (P.) multocida. The MIC of A. pleuropneumoniae ATCC 27090 decreased by 2–4 log2 dilution steps (4 to 16-fold) from 8 to 0.5–2 μg/mL when 50% serum was added to the standard assay. Considering a higher presence of serum and the rather neutral pH conditions maintained in vivo, it is suggested to take the influence of these factors on in vitro activity into account when interpreting tildipirosin MICs for A. pleuropneumoniae in relation to pharmacokinetics.

A diagnostically and audibly responsive computer learning memory game works with small children and other persons in teaching them to read. Square or rectangular tiles to be uncovered are displayed upside down, concealing words to be matched with words or words to be matched with phrases or visual pictures or audible sounds, objective is to find matching cards. The computer game matches the cards or tiles with sight words that the user is learning to read from a word list. The user must remember where a correct word of the word pairs is located. The user must read word orally, if not, the computer will prompt the user with a clue (such as the beginning sound of a word) until the user answers. If nothing is heard, the user is told the answer. The system has a built-in recording of a library of selected words, phrases, pictures or audible sounds. The computer can sense that user is silent (with a default of no sound). If a wrong word is uttered, the system can remain silent or correct the user.
1. A computerized educational game system for teaching a user to identify items from a list of items of subject matter to be learned, comprising:
a computer having a visual and audibly responsive display,
said display comprising a matrix of separately openable covers revealing upon opening an item to be learned under each cover, the item and an equivalent match of the item appearing under two covers;
means for a user to select a cover to be opened revealing an item;
an audio input for said user to attempt to identify said revealed item into a computer readable file;
a computer memory for storing in a hard drive and retrieving each item identified by said user, and sorting user responses by a user-defined filename;
a speech recognition program to recognize attempts at identifying an item;
said speech recognition program prompting said user with an audible clue if the user says nothing in response to the revealing of an item and audibly gives the answer if the user still does not respond;
said computer recognizing a correct identifying of an item by said user with an indicia, and with a colored font when said user identifies the same item correctly under different covers;
said computer storing correct reading of words in sound files; and
at end of said game, said computer reveals all items and identifies them back in at least one of the user's voice and alternatively in a computer digitized voice.

This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(e) of provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/387,759 of Jun. 10, 2002.
The present invention relates to a computerized learning game which teaches according to the verbal input of the users; with automated coaching administered along with memory matching technique to encourage the user to not only recall the learned matter but also to identify its relative position in order to teach the subject matter effectively.
Among related patents include U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,920,838 of Mostow and 6,206,700 of Brown.
The Brown '700 patent is important because it has a comprehensive set of flow charts which describe its reading system, including actual views of computer screens, where examples such as a picture of an elephant are accompanied by a phrase such as "Watch the elephant". The Brown '700 patent does not describe a system of pairing words by elimination of paired covered blocks until a pair of identical words is revealed, as in the television game of "CONCENTRATION".
U.S. Pat. No. 4,955,614 of Buda discloses a game of word forming by elimination, although not by eliminating successive pairs of block covers as in the present invention. U.S. Pat. No. 4,435,902 of Hengel discloses a word game using images on physical cards. U.S. Pat. No. 4,661,074 of Walker discloses a card game and U.S. Pat. No. 5,213,333 of Petrovich discloses a word association game with lists of words.
While these above noted patents do not clearly disclose the present invention of pairing words by elimination of paired covered blocks until a pair of identical words is revealed, as in the television game of "CONCENTRATION", but non-patented websites do show the use of a CONCENTRATION type of game.
For example, there are non-patented educational games which explicitly describe a system of pairing words by elimination of paired covered blocks until a pair of identical words is revealed, as in the television game of "CONCENTRATION." For example, in one if one go to the website playandlearn.org one will find a CONCENTRATION type game which uses pairs of tile cards on a computer screen which are flipped until the student obtains a match, as in the present Memory Cards game. Each match reveals a portion of the screen which ultimately shows a full picture, instead of the present blank grid after all the pairs of words have been matched. Another similar CONCENTRATION type game is found at sciencenorth.on.ca/learn/coolschience/coolwebstuff/concentration in which pairs of blocks are uncovered by successfully matching the image pairs underneath the covered blocks to reveal words in a science learning game.
Moreover, in a third CONCENTRATION type game found on the Internet is found at chandra.harvard.edu/edu/games/concentration in astronomy, wherein pairs of covered blocks are sequentially flipped to reveal paired words.
However, neither the matching memory games discussed above nor elimination games describe the present multimedia learning system which utilizes the verbal input from the user to perform diagnostics and evaluate their proficiency along with interactive directed coaching based on the analysis of the user's input, which exponentially enhances the efficiency and comprehensiveness of the instruction.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a multimedia teaching system to assist educators and other institutions in providing additional tutelage to both young students and adults which require attention. Further this system may be utilized to provide a vehicle for students of all ages to unilaterally learn new materials.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide an interactive system that mimics the teaching relationship between a human teacher and student. According the computerized diagnostics and analysis of the user input is essential to identify the necessary and particular responses of the user. Finally the system evaluates the overall competency and aptitude of the user.
Other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the present invention.
In keeping with these objects and others which may become apparent, the present invention is an educational computer game and system for working with readers, such as small children, adolescents or adults in teaching them to learn skills, such as, for example, to read or comprehend other sensory perceptible learning material, including text, images, sounds and tactilly perceptible subject matter, such as objects.
Based upon the pre-existing game of CONCENTRATION, the system includes a computer version of a grid with a set of tiles or cards which are upside down and the objective is to find matching tiles or cards. The computer game matches hidden correct answers on upside down placed tiles but with sight words that student is learning to read from word list.
For example, the computer will display 16 square or rectangular tiles on a video display screen, where each hides a word of pairs of words. The computer gradually reduces the number of tiles or cards (squares or rectangles) so that the user can remember where the correct word of pairs is. The user must read a word orally i.e. the word may be "hour" if the user doesn't, the computer uses speech recognition software to interpret the user's answer or lack thereof, to then audibly or visually prompt the user with an audibly and/or visually perceptible clue (a "beginning sound or image") until the user answers. If the user says nothing, the user is audibly told the answer. The game is completed once all tiles are removed from the screen. In order to remove the tiles, the user must identify the position of the matching tiles and correctly verbalize the words under both tiles.
The system has a built-in recording of words. The present invention senses that user is silent (through recognizing by default no sound). If a wrong word is said, the system can be silent or can correct the user. It can be used to match two words of different languages. The system can also be used to identify medical or botanical terms with an interactive grid, such as a picture of plant to be stated as an identifiable word)
The system may also utilize pictures to elicit a verbal response from the user. The user can pick a certain tile which reveals the image of the object to be identified verbally. Further, a tile may be matched with a word by a spoken phrase of the user.
The system also utilizes a database to store all input received from all users. The system can conduct an analysis of the data can be to determine measured characteristics of the user. User measured characteristics may include but are not limited to: latency of response to a particular subject, type of accuracy, type of errors, task proficiency, working memory, subject strengths, subject weaknesses, educational grade levels, and intelligence.
The system may also have a predefined benchmark in which the administrator of the system can specify as the criteria. The system can gauge the user based on the predetermined benchmark or based on the population data gathered from previous users. The system may also use known and accepted psychological techniques to analyze the user based on their inputs.
The multimedia environment of the present invention enhances unilateral education of users by incorporating speech and sound recognition. The addition of speech recognition to the present invention greatly enhances the ability for the user to grasp new material.
The use of a computer algorithm, such as neural network, provides the system with the ability to gage and analyze the user's ability to aid the administrator to determine if the user requires additional assistance, a different type of assistance, an escalation of educational concern, or the termination of assistance. The important interactive function of the present invention is maintained with the multimedia and computer analysis feature. The synergistic combination of the of the matching memory game with the unique multimedia analysis ability provide beneficial results that are not possible with any other type of educational tools as effectively.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes but is not limited to, at least one: central processing unit, display panel, microphone, speakers, media storage, internet capability, mouse, and keyboard.
The present invention can best be understood in connection with the accompanying drawings. It is noted that the invention is not limited to the precise embodiments shown in drawings, in which:
The present invention has broad applications to many technical fields for a variety of articles. For illustrative purposes-only, a preferred mode for carrying out the invention is described herein, wherein a multimedia computer utilizes speech recognition in order to teach and evaluate user in the format of a memory matching game.
The method of playing a multimedia computer learning game includes the steps of:
The evaluation includes a number of tasks, such as determining user strengths, user educational grade levels, user intelligence, user weaknesses, persistent errors of users and/or user proficiency.
The evaluation is utilized for screening users.
When the user unsuccessfully attempting the learned subject, the game provides verbal clues to the user, and may vocalize the clues or the answers in the user's own prerecorded voice or in a digitized computer voice for revealing answers in response to the user's predetermined incorrect vocal responses. Other user perceptible responses other than voice may be employed, such recognizable visual images, text, script or tactile sensory input.
The user starts the game by selecting a particular tile. Once the tile is selected, the word beneath the tile is revealed. The user must now give the correct vocalize the word uncovered. If the user gives an incorrect response the system allows the user to retry the word for a predetermined number of attempts. If the user fails all attempts to give the correct response the system can vocalize the correct answer in a digitalized computer simulated voice or in the user's own prerecorded voice. Alternatively, after each iteration of the user, the system is able to coach the user to a lesser or greater extent depending on the number of tries. All of this user data is recorded into the users own file in order to perform diagnostics of the user's performance. If the user fails to ultimately give the correct response, the tile is again covered and there is no option to try to find the corresponding matching tile.
If the user gives the correct response, the tile is tagged and remains uncovered. The user now has the opportunity to locate matching covered tile. Initial attempts are based on luck, but as the game progresses, the user has an opportunity to uncover and locate the identity of the covered tiles. Not only is the user required to reiterate the response correctly twice but to remember the location of corresponding tiles. Once matching tiles are located and given the correct response, they are removed from the matrix. The game is finished when the matrix is empty, without any tiles. Once the game is complete the system can reiterate all the words in the child's or adult's own prerecorded voice.
The response from the user can be a correct vocalization of the word, a partial vocalization, or a wrong vocalization. The system conducts diagnostics of this input information. Based on the diagnostics the system can choose to coach the user with the determined method. Each iterative attempt by the user can prompt the system to sound more of the word out to the user. Further the diagnostics of the current session can be compared to this particular user's file to determine problem areas, improvement, rate of improvement, as well as educational proficiency. This system can be utilized to for but not limited to: screening, latency of response to a particular subject, type of accuracy, type of errors, task proficiency, working memory, subject strengths, subject weaknesses, educational grade levels, and intelligence of the user.
The present invention is also directed to the software process of the diagnosis and "coaching" of the student in general, but preferably in conjunction with the CONCENTRATION-type grid format of the game.
The system describes a game as a multi-media educational program or system which uses the grid of covered viewable CONCENTRATION type "windows" covered by "tiles" which are selectively opened to reveal chosen words for the student being taught.
The game opens with a screen allowing the teacher to bring up a word list for the child or adult subject. That list can be changed, saved or updated in response to the child's or adult's progress, which is mainly monitored by voice recognition software the capture the user subject's oral responses.
The system also provides that when a word is exposed, the subject must try and say the word. Wrong or partially correct attempts are monitored and saved for diagnostic purposes. If the child or adult user is non-responsive, the program will prompt the child with oral hints. The subjects memorize where prior answers were located, so that they can recall words previously revealed and re-hidden by subsequently closed windows.
While the present invention describes a grid with selectively openable windows, covered by opaque openable tiles, revealing words to be memorized, the present invention defines that when the subject makes a "guess" by opening a window he or she responds with an oral reading of the word or image shown.
The learning game system of the present invention further defines that if the answer is wrong, the voice recognition software of the present invention recognizes attempts by sound files and corrects the subject if the answer is wrong.
The learning game system of the present invention defines the option that the correct answer can be given in the subject's synthesized voice, as well as in a standard computer voice.
The learning game system of the present invention further provides that this interactive information provides a teacher with progress and diagnostic information, and analyses strengths and weaknesses of a student subject's progress over time. For example, the learning game system of the present invention provides that the present program can keep diagnostic information, such as latency of response, type of accuracy, types of errors and data relating to task proficiency.
The Learning game system of the present invention defines generally the flow charts, including their sub-loops, such as that the box "0.1" has a sideways arrow that goes to layer "1.1" on the next page, and then all the way back to "0.1" in layer "0". Likewise, "0.3" goes to "1.3" and back. Layer "2" extends off into layer "3" and back again.
Moreover, the learning game system of the present invention provides that much of the diagnostic information comes off of the box labeled "Check response with Voice Recognition Software", which further goes to a box labeled "Coaching" that involves interacting with the student subject.
The learning game system of the present invention also provides that the computer monitor displays the steps of the game, as well as the fact that the system may be programmed in a computer language such as JAVA SCRIPT and VISUAL SCRIPT. However, such computer code can be adapted and reconstituted over time.
The system is able to take on multiple forms such as the following examples. An individualized playing and learning system with coaching suitable for readers, beginning through 3rd year (elementary/primary school) levels with:
A system as described above also includes diagnostic tracking suitable for the same reader levels and objectives as above:
A system for individualized playing and learning with coaching suitable for readers, beginning above 3rd year (elementary/primary school) levels also includes:
The system described as above also includes diagnostic tracking suitable same reader levels and objects.
In the foregoing description, certain terms and visual depictions are used to illustrate the preferred embodiment. However, no unnecessary limitations are to be construed by the terms used or illustrations depicted, beyond what is shown in the prior art, since the terms and illustrations are exemplary only, and are not meant to limit the scope of the present invention.
It is further known that other modifications may be made to the present invention, without departing the scope of the invention, as noted in the appended Claims.

Bucatini Amatriciana
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This recipe appears in my book as "Bucatini Amatriciana with MP3 File Sharing Technology." That one's a little complicated (but very funny) so I've removed the technology and simplified it for you here. —Giulia Melucci
Serves 2
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup pancetta, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 1 small (14-16 oz) can chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 pound bucatini
- 1/4 cup pecorino romano, grated by you
- freshly gound pepper
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a skillet large enough to hold the sauce and the pasta. Add the onions and pancetta and let them cook until they are nicely caramelized. Meanwhile, put up a large pot of water to boil for the pasta.
- Add half the tomatoes to the onions and pancetta. Your water should be boiling, add a good dose of salt and the bucatini and cook until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking add the rest of the tomatoes to the sauce and continue cooking until pasta is ready.
- Drain the pasta well, add it to the skillet with the sauce and continue cooking the pasta with the sauce for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, add the cheese and a little freshly ground pepper. Serve in warm bowls.

Apple Gets Stay on Posting Notice That Samsung Did Not Copy iPad
Posted July 26, 2012 at 6:15pm by here | 5369 views| Please help us and submit a translation by clicking
Apple has managed to obtain a stay on an order to post notice acknowledging that Samsung didn't copy the iPad, reports Bloomberg.
Apple was ordered earlier this month to put a note on its U.K. site and buy advertisements in British newspapers to alert customers to a court ruling that Samsung hadn't copied the iPad's design. Cupertino, California-based Apple appealed saying it didn't want to advertise for its rival. The order is stayed until its appeal against the ruling is heard in October.

Fantasy art that brings out a wild and instinctive nature.,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Tarot of Vampyres (Cards)
These vampires are sensual and evocative, but there is something about them that calls out the instinctive and wild human being. The human being that can just 'be' rather than acting according to the rules of civilised society. It feels "naughty" (for want of a better word) because it's makes you feel free and natural. A feeling that might be mocked by other counterparts who are still being everything they "should". These cards are the very nature of fantasy, and there is something in Ian Daniels fantasy art cards that reminds us that underneath all the labels and roles there is a very evocative and instinctive human being and this perspective would indeed make for a very therapeutic Tarot reading. I can understand the previous reviewers experience with these cards.
The cards are standard sized with a vague Rider-Waite chassis. They feel very slightly stiffer and glossier compared to other Llewellyn published decks - like the Shadowscapes and Legacy of the Divine. It comes with a paperback back which having skimmed through is well thought out with background on the Tarot' associations with the Kabalistic Tree of Life, alchemy and astrology. I don't agree with the Authors views on Tarot history and origin, or some of his associations with Esoteric doctrine which I feel was lost under colourful language, but for the most part it is very knowledgeable, lyrical and descriptive and I am impressed by it. I love that the Artist has included the astrological associative symbols discretely into scenery and characters of the cards.
The cards come boxed (as usual for Llewellyn), an awful plain white tuck box which has a tear off flap and does not hold the cards tightly at all.

Guitar Man. New Teacher.
I had my first guitar lessons with a new teacher, Luke Payne, yesterday and it was NOT what I expected. If I had to use one word to describe it I would call it "challenging!" My fingers weren't challenged, but my brain was. One technique he uses is singing solfege, i.ei do-re-mi, to learn sight-reading. I thought this was something that singing students did but apparently it's a "thing" that serious music students do, too.
We're starting with one of the popular Aaron Shearer books. Hopefully I can fix some bad habits and develop some new ones. I've also been re-visiting Jamie Andreas The Principles of Correct Practice For Guitar. Hopefully all this tutelage will make me into a decent player.
Oh! And he only lets me use my thumb to play!
Bonus Trivia! I sneeze very loudly. VERY loudly. Even when I try to sneeze quietly it's still usually very loud. No kitty-cat sneezes here.
James on Bing!
A year or so ago I saw the Bing! street-mapping car in Winston-Salem on Acadia Avenue. I've been looking for a while, and I finally found myself online! This is almost as exciting as mowing my grass on Google Satellite!

What's In The Garden
Tonight I gave my neighbor some corn seeds and he gave me some onion sets, which I planted. The garden currently has:
Bell peppers
Potatoes (from last years leftover potatoes!)
Green beans
English peas
Sugar snap peas
Seeds that did not sprout:
Spaghetti squash (from my own seeds)
Acorn squash
Honeydew melons
I'm going to put corn where I tried Cantaloupe and Honeydew melons and try the melons, and maybe Watermelons, in the new section of garden.
April Update
Here's a long overdue update. Still dating my sweety Alicia, we're almost up to our 30-month anniversary. We went to see an Eagles tribute band in Greensboro a few weeks ago. They sounded amazing!
On The Border, Eagles tribute band above.
Everything is the same at TFOS. The cats and dog continue to rule the kingdom. It's nice to see warm weather arrive and my power bill drop by over half. I've been studying solar panels and I think the savings would be significant. Enough solar panels to supply my annual needs can be ordered for about $6000, before shipping, but the cost of the mounting hardware, power inverters, safety equipment, permits etc. are considerable. Still, if I could do all that for another $6000 then they system should pay for itself in less than 10 years. Very interesting!
The Carolina Bluebird couple has moved back into the house and laid 4 eggs. They've been sitting on them for a while so I expect there will be baby birds by next week. Continue reading

Betty Rubble is the popular cartoon wife of caveman Barney Rubble from the fictional prehistoric town of Bedrock. Our Adult Deluxe Betty Rubble Costume is a fantastic character costume which will transport you back to the age of hunter gatherers.
Costume includes:
The Adult Deluxe Betty Rubble Costume includes an attractive blue halter neck dress made from a fleece touch and feel fabric featuring a contrasting black leather look trim, velcro closure at the rear of the neck and pleated effect at the base of the dress.
This wonderful costume also includes a leather look belt with PVC bones, helping to create a sexy prehistoric look. The finishing touch is a black Betty style wig with attached bow.
Customer Note: Our customer feedback tells us that the included wig features a different bow to the one pictured.
Sizes for this costume are:
March 20, 2015, by J A - London, UK - United Kingdom
Decent quality material but size is extremely generous so would recommend taking this into account when ordering. I ordered a small and it was still too big.
September 5, 2014, by Kat M - Kent, UK - United Kingdom
This is fab value for money - you really don't need to buy anything more expensive. The sizing is on the big side...I got a small, and I'm a...errr.....size 11 (yeah sometimes a 10 and sometimes a 12) and it was a teeny bit big. So flatter yourself, it'll feel good, and it'll look good on too. The belt is with a tie/bow at the back, and the bones don't go all the way around. The wig is fab, and with a little brushing to curl the ends after unpacking it's spot on.
January 3, 2014, by Katherine R - Dyfed, UK - United Kingdom
Dress really good and belt but couldn't wear the outfit as the wig isn't anything like the one shown in the picture. I was given a long black wig with a tiny blue silk bow.

So I was having trouble with this issue on iPhone (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slick-contact-forms-iphone-problem) but it was not an issue for iPad... however I am now finding that the Slick Contact Form is remaining open on the iPad as well (perhaps after the iOS 6 update?).
I fixed it on the iPhone by hiding the form with CSS on my responsive media CSS but for the larger iPad screen, I would have to hide it from all screen resolutions so no longer a viable fix.
Anyone else experiencing this and have an idea how to fix?
