Re: When rude people annoy the hell out of one
The thing that really pisses me off lately, is all the haters on VG. Many people say "Yeah, but people have broken the NDA and said it sucks". No **** people who break the NDA are going to say it sucks! Someone that is ENJOYING beta will NOT break the NDA, or they loose thier spot in beta! I have "heard" from people in beta that while it still has a ways to go, alot of progress is being made, and the game is coming along rather well...While they didn't provide any specifics (for fear of being kicked), I am willing to bet that is how most people in beta feel...Will the game be "Next Gen", "Just a fun MMO", or "sucks completely" remains to be seen. We will all have to make up our own minds if we get in beta or play on launch. Unless of course you already dislike it because of the "elitist" EQ guys (whatever)...

I enjoyed Celebrity Apprentice for the most part this season, but I'm ready for the finale because I just have to many things to watch on Monday nights right now. Speaking of scheduling issues, I will be recapping Vanderpump Rules tomorrow instead of tonight. After this show, I'm going to curl up on the coach and listen to the rain (maybe sleet?) and veg out for the night. Atlanta shut the city down due to potential snow. I'm not sure how it was supposed to snow since it's been around 40 degrees almost all day, but in Atlanta, we don't have weathermen anymore. We have SEVERE WEATHER TEAMS who scare us to death pretty much every week with tornados, and lightning and ice possibilities, etc. They actually now seriously recommend we all don helmets during tornado season. I'm not kidding! Anyway, I hope those of you with real snow issues are warm and safe! Let's get on with the show!
Leeza and Geraldo are shown shooting their commercials. Leeza got really lucky with the Jonas kid. He's running the camera crew like a finely oiled machine. Meanwhile, over on Team Geraldo, Lorenzo and Geraldo are still measuring their dicks.
Before a commercial break they do a teaser about #PhoneGate so maybe we will see some footage tonight! Continue reading

Diverse and flavoursome, Chinese food has risen to become one of the most popular cuisines in Britain over the past 50 years.
Renowned as one of the best places to enjoy Chinese cuisine in Brigg – near Scunthorpe – the China Royal Restaurant has been voted the Oriental Restaurant of the year in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Unlike other Chinese restaurants and takeaways our emphasis is on using fresh ingredients and less oil, for a healthier approach.
With many years of culinary experience, our renowned chefs specialise in Szechuan, Peking and Cantonese styles of Chinese cuisine.
Come on in and enjoy a relaxing and warming atmosphere. Whether you're after an intimate meal for two, or a large family/business event, we promise to cater to your every need.
We look forward to welcoming you into our restaurant for an authentic oriental dining experience. Be sure to book your reservation or make an order today on 01652 240384.
Myself and my family have been going to Simons Place other wise known as China Royal since I was a little girl and I'm now 43! The food is excellent and is all my family's favourite restaurant. Peter and his family have always made us feel so welcolme over the years. We hope we will be going for another good many years to come.
The China Royal, in Bridge Street, Brigg, is a great place to go all year round - eat in, or takeaway. Our last midweek visit coincided with a terrible snowstorm. But the time it took to get there and back home with our order was well worth it, given the standard of the cuisine. Decently priced, too. The China Royal has many regular customers who keep going back, time after time. It's reputation is very high. Some parking is available on the street outside the premises but the alternative is to park (free) in Spring's Parade car park (close to Tesco) and make the very short walk over the County Bridge to the China Royal. The first time I visited this establishment, many years ago, was with Peter Moore, the long-serving editor of the Grimsby and Scunthorpe Telegraphs, to attend an afternoon banquet proprietor Simon Ho was hosting attended by well-heeled business types from across the county. On a number of occasions after that, the generous editor rewarded editorial projects above and beyond the call of duty by sending instructions to take Mrs F down to the China Royal for a meal on him. For some years after that, if I went to eat there with the family, Simon would say: "I know - send the bill to Peter Moore!" The China Royal was one of our late editor's most favourite eateries, and tried a good many in his time. High praise, indeed!
The China Royal offers delightful oriental cuisine within intimate, warm surroundings which are ideal for the most romantic dinner or the largest banquet. There is an array of dishes available on the menu, including house specials and is popular among the local residents of Brigg. There is also a takeaway service available so you can also enjoy a delicious meal from the comfort of your own home.

The march followed a service at Edinburgh Castle which recreated the drumhead services that were held on the front 100 years ago in which the troops used drums to create makeshift altars.
At the end of the march there was also an opportunity for personal remembrance and reflection at a memorial in Holyrood Park created from 1000 headstones. Brigadier David Allfrey, chief organiser of the service, said the memorial provided a sense of focus for acts of individual and collective commemoration.
There will always be some observers who feel uncomfortable with such events, but the first major event in Scotland's commemoration programme has succeeded in striking the right tone. From the start, the key objective of the commemorations has been to raise awareness, but it must also be to ask questions. And the most important of those questions is also the hardest to answer: what, 100 years on, can we learn from all this?


text: After their faux marriage in Mexico last November, it sounds like Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are going to tie the knot for real this weekend. They were shy about the details last week, but apparently it's going down Saturday at a church in Pasadena with a reception after at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz, and Brody Jenner are expected, while Stephanie Pratt and Holly Montag will serve as bridesmaids. Lauren Conrad, however, is not expected to be there to see Heidi in her $19,000 gown and $1 million worth of borrowed jewels. It sounds like a true Heidi and Spencer production, so tell us — are you excited for their wedding?

—With unflagging devotion to justice, indomitable optimism, and an unmistakable sense of humor, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Mpilo Tutu has stirred the world's conscience for decades. As a man of the cloth, he has drawn the respect and admiration of a diverse congregation. He helped lead South Africa through a turning point in modern history, and with an unshakable humility and firm commitment to our common humanity, he helped heal wounds and lay the foundation for a new nation. Desmond Tutu continues to give voice to the voiceless and bring hope to those who thirst for freedom.
—With his belief in the self-reliance of all people, Professor Muhammad Yunus has altered the face of finance and entrepreneurship. As an academic, he struggled with pervading economic theories and their effects on the people of his native Bangladesh. Yearning for a new way of lifting people out of poverty, he revolutionized banking to allow low-income borrowers access to credit. In the process, he has enabled citizens of the world's poorest countries to create profitable businesses, support their families and help build sustainable communities. In so doing, Muhammad Yunus has unleashed new avenues of creativity and inspired millions worldwide to imagine their own potential.

We just returnex from traveling in Europe and are looking for a bathtub fixture with shower attachment such as in Nov edition of H&H on pg 155 and 161. Any ideas for stores that carry them in GTA and cost? thanks
- Ginger's in Toronto is somewhere else to check. According to their site they currently have 20% select bath fixtures: http://www.elte.com/Gingers/
- This one at Home Hardware is also along the same lines.
- Or you could look for a tub/faucet combo if you're looking for a tub, too.
- You could also check a Lowe's if you have one in your area to see if they have any of these available (sometimes you can get them here through special order).
Hope that helps! Mrs. Peacock also had great suggestions.

A method and system for error prevention and recovery of voice activated navigation through a menu having plural nodes provides situation dependent utterance verification by relating confirmation to utterance determination confidence levels. In one embodiment, a high confidence level results in implicit confirmation, a medium confidence level results in explicit confirmation and a low confidence level results in a concise interrogative prompt of a single word that requests the user to repeat the utterance. In situations where voice recognition is difficult, dual modality with DTMF navigation is provided as an option for menu selections.
1. A method for navigating a voice recognition menu having plural nodes, the method comprising:
receiving a user utterance at a voice recognition service;
determining a requested node associated with the user utterance;
classifying the user utterance as having a high, medium or low confidence that the determined requested node matches the node requested by the user utterance;
advancing a high confidence utterance to a menu node associated with the high confidence utterance;
requesting confirmation of a medium confidence utterance by prompting the user with the determined requested node;
requesting the user to restate a low confidence utterances;
counting the number of attempts to determine the received user utterance; and
automatically directing the user to a DTMF menu after a predetermined number of attempts.
2. The method of
obtaining implicit confirmation of high confidence utterances before advancing to associated menu nodes.
3. The method of
stating the determined requested node;
advancing to the determined requested node if the user either fails to respond; and
requesting the user to restate the user utterance if the user refutes the determined requested node.
4. The method of
obtaining explicit confirmation of medium confidence utterances.
5. The method of
stating the determined requested node as query to the user;
advancing to the determined requested node if the user responds with affirmation; and
requesting the user to restate the user utterance if the user refutes the determined requested node.
6. The method of
stating a precise interrogative prompt; and
re-receiving the user utterance from the user.
7. The method of
8. The method of
9. The method of
the received user utterance is associated with a particular one of the plural nodes; and
different ones of the plural nodes have different quantitative confidence level ranges such that the classification of the user utterance as a high, medium or low confidence utterance is based at least in part on the quantitative confidence level ranges corresponding with the particular node.
10. The method of
11. A system for aiding user navigation through a voice recognition menu having plural nodes, the system comprising:
a voice recognition response unit interfaced with a telephone network, the voice recognition response unit operable to accept a user request for a menu node submitted as a voice utterance and determine the node of the voice recognition menu associated with the voice utterance;
a confidence engine interfaced with the voice recognition response unit and operable to assign one of plural confidence levels to the determination by the voice recognition response unit of the node associated with the voice utterance;
an interrogate engine interfaced with the voice recognition response unit and operable to command an implicit confirmation for a first confidence level, an explicit confirmation for a second confidence level and a concise interrogative prompt for a third confidence levels; and
a DTMF engine interfaced with the voice recognition response unit, the DTMF engine operable to provide a touch tone menu for selection of a requested node;
wherein the voice recognition response unit further comprises a counter to count user attempts to navigate to a particular node, the counter activating the DTMF engine to provide touch tone navigation after a predetermined number of attempts.

19. The system of
the received voice utterance is associated with a particular one of the plural nodes; and
different ones of the plural nodes have different quantitative confidence level parameters such that the assignment of a confidence level to the determination of the node associated with the voice utterance is based at least in part on the quantitative confidence level parameters corresponding with the particular node.
20. A method for voice activated navigation of a menu, the method comprising:
receiving a voice request to navigate to a menu selection;
determining the menu selection by comparing the voice request to a glossary of sample requests;
determining a confidence level for the menu selection determination;
selectively confirming the menu selection determination based on the confidence level;
counting user attempts to state a menu selection; and
automatically providing a DTMF menu to the user after a predetermined number of attempts.
21. The method of
22. The method of
23. The method of
querying the user with a concise interrogative prompt for low confidence menu selection determinations.
24. The method of
25. The method of
26. The method of
27. The method of
the menu includes multiple nodes;
the received voice request is associated with a particular one of the multiple nodes; and
different ones of the multiple nodes have different quantitative confidence level parameters such that the determination of the confidence level for the menu selection determination is based at least in part on the quantitative confidence level parameters corresponding with the particular node.
The present invention relates in general to the field of voice recognition telephone services, and more specifically relates to a method and system for navigating a voice recognition menu with error prevention and recovery.
Voice recognition technology has become increasingly popular for providing automated telephonic services through voice activation of menu selections. Voice activation of menu selections, such as for navigation through menu nodes for obtaining and providing information exchanges with automated services, offers a number of advantages over conventional touch tone DTMF signaling. For instance, with mobile phone networks, voice activation allows hands off menu selection for reduced distraction and improved safety of mobile phone use.
One problem that often arises with the use of voice recognition over telephone networks is difficulty in accurately interpreting voice utterances by various users, especially where a user's possible responses may vary. One reason for interpretation difficulty relates to the nature of voice recognition, which compares an utterance from a user with a glossary of possible responses to determine the selection made by the user. Individuals tend to speak with a variety of accents so that a voice recognition system typically must have flexibility to recognize a range of utterance samples. Another reason for interpretation difficulty relates to unpredictable background noise that interferes with an utterance, such as a barking dog, a jack hammer or just a poor connection. The greater the variance of a situation from the situation that a voice recognition system is designed to handle, the greater the likelihood that voice recognition will fail and user utterances will not be recognized.
Failure of voice recognition for a user often creates considerable frustration. For instance, incorrect interpretation of a user utterance may result in navigation of the user to a completely unpredictable menu node. As an example, a user who requests "balance" information for a credit card account would be unhappy indeed if instead the user is transferred to a node about the credit card company's special offer for a "valise." Just as frustrating for a user is the making of repeated failed attempts to obtain recognition of an utterance in which the voice recognition system responds by stating that no match exists for the user's utterance. Although some voice recognition systems permit transfer to an alternative touch tone driven menu, the user typically has to start navigation from the beginning of the menu and is unable to re-select voice activation.
The present invention may be better understood, and its numerous objects, features and advantages made apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing the accompanying drawings. The use of the same reference number throughout the several figures designates a like or similar element.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are illustrated in the figures, like numerals being used to refer to like and corresponding parts of the various drawings.
To aid in the prevention of errors for voice activated menu navigation and in the recovery from errors that do occur, the present invention provides situation dependent voice activated navigation that accommodates a range of user preferences and behaviors to aid users in gracefully recovering from recognition or user errors. Thus, users are able to fluidly advance towards objectives in communication with a voice recognition system with reduced time and frustration. To accomplish these goals, in one embodiment, situation dependent utterance verification reduces error likelihood in an unobtrusive manner by applying different levels of verification for utterance interpretations based upon a determined confidence level for each interpretation. In another embodiment, a concise interrogative prompt obtains restatements of utterances having low confidence in a rapid manner and with minimal delay or introduction of confusion for the user. In another embodiment, dual modality provides DTMF signaling functionality, either on a selective basis to overcome difficult nodes or in combination with voice recognition to allow greater user flexibility.
Referring now to
Error prevention and recovery system 10 aids user interaction to improve user experience by accommodating a greater range of user preferences and behaviors and gracefully preventing or recovering from voice recognition and user errors without substantially impeding fluid navigation by users through menu nodes of the voice recognition menu. Errors are prevented from occurring or recovered from after occurrence through the addition of one or more of situation dependent utterances including verification, concise interrogative prompting and dual-mode interaction. Situation dependent utterance verification relates the confidence of utterance recognition to the type of confirming query made by voice recognition IVR 16 to the user. User verification aids in the prevention of errors by confirming utterances in a non-intrusive and fluid manner with confirmation based on recognition confidence levels. As an example, high and medium confidence utterance recognitions result in implicit or explicit confirmations that help prevent errors in those instances where utterance recognition has a high or medium probability of being correct but some chance of error remains. A low confidence utterance recognition with a higher probability of error results in a concise interrogative prompt that succinctly requests the user to re-state the utterance. Dual mode interaction adds touch tone capability to the user's menu selections to recover from errors or to aid a user having apparent difficulty in using the voice recognition menu.
Error recognition and prevention functions are essentially additional interactions made available to a user in response to the level of success of the user in navigation of the menu nodes. User success depends largely on obtaining a high confidence of recognition of user utterances. A confidence engine 22 interfaces with voice recognition IVR 16 and determines the confidence level associated with a user utterance recognition. For instance, recognition confidence may be measured as high, medium or low based upon the likelihood that voice recognition IVR 16 correctly correlated a user utterance to an utterance of glossary 20. The confidence level classification may vary dependent upon the menu node, the complexity of the recognition and the effectiveness of the various error and prevention options at the menu node accessed by the user. For instance, in some situations an utterance recognition with a 95% likelihood of being correct will result in a confidence level classification of high while in other situations the same likelihood will result in a medium confidence level. In one embodiment, the assignment of confidence levels may be configured based on user experience or experimentation to support the most efficient user navigation and best possible level of service for improved user satisfaction.
Confidence engine 22 provides confidence levels to voice recognition IVR 16 to support adaptation of the interaction with the user for error prevention and recovery. Voice recognition IVR 16 interfaces with an interrogate engine 24 and a DTMF engine 26 to alter user interaction as appropriate for the detected confidence level. For instance, if confidence engine 22 determines a high confidence level for an utterance, interrogate engine 24 provides voice recognition IVR 16 with an implicit confirmation and ensures that implicit confirmation is received before voice recognition IVR 16 proceeds to the menu node associated with the determined user utterance. If confidence engine 22 determines a medium confidence level for an utterance, interrogate engine 24 provides voice recognition IVR 16 with an explicit confirmation and ensures that explicit confirmation is received before voice recognition IVR 16 proceeds to the menu node associated with the determined user utterance. If confidence engine 22 determines a low confidence level for an utterance, interrogate engine 24 provides voice recognition IVR 16 with an concise interrogative prompt to have the user re-state the utterance with as little delay and confusion as possible, such as simply stating "Pardon?" as a query. In alternative embodiments, additional confidence levels and associated situation dependent verifications may be used.
In some instances, such as with a low confidence level, with repeated difficulty determining a particular user's utterances, or with delays in user utterances indicating discomfort with voice recognition technology, interrogate engine 24 instructs voice recognition IVR 16 to call DTMF engine 26. DTMF engine 26 requests information from users as either an utterance or as a DTMF tone selected by pressing a number from the user's telephone number pad. For instance, a user with a poor connection or with a strong accent may have difficulty navigating through voice utterance recognition. Calling DTMF engine 26 inserts an instruction for the user to choose either a voice utterance input or a DTMF input. This allows a user to recover the navigation process from the current node rather than re-initiating the navigation process with a separate DTMF system. As an example, if a user hesitates for a predetermined period of time to a request for an utterance input, DTMF engine 26 prompts voice recognition IVR 16 to repeat the request along with DTMF instructions associated with likely menu nodes. Alternatively, if voice recognition IVR 16 fails to recognize an utterance within a predetermined number of attempts, DTMF engine 16 provides a set of DTMF responses to proceed with navigation from the current node.
Referring now to
The process proceeds to step 30 at which voice recognition IVR 16 receives the user's utterance in response to the prompt of step 28 and sets a counter to 1. The counter tracks the attempts by the user to state the utterance. In the embodiment depicted by
If the count of attempts is less than 3 or another predetermined number of attempts, the process proceeds to step 34 for a determination of the confidence level of the voice recognition. For instance, a high confidence level is assigned to recognitions that closely match an entry of glossary 20, a medium confidence is assigned to recognitions that match an entry of glossary 20 but with a lesser degree of certainty, and a low confidence is assigned to recognitions that are uncertain, that match more than one glossary entry or that fail to match any glossary entry. The assignment of confidence levels based on recognition probability may vary from menu node to menu node. For instance, some menu nodes may have a relatively simple glossary of utterance responses, like yes or no, where a high confidence of voice recognition is more easily achieved. Other menu nodes may have more complex glossaries, such as naming a company to obtain a stock quote, where a high confidence is more difficult and time spend obtaining confirmation is more acceptable. Confidence engine 22 takes into account the complexity of voice recognition performed for a given node to apply confidence levels so that efficient and fluid navigation through nodes is achieved. Assignment of confidence levels for a particular node and utterance recognition probability may be developed based on user experience and satisfaction so that verification is presented in a manner that ultimately reduces the time needed for users to successfully navigate through a menu.
If the determination at step 34 is a high confidence level, the process proceeds to step 36 at which an implicit confirmation prompt is provided to the user. Implicit verification confirms utterance recognition by repeating the key information back to the user, perhaps with an inflection to imply a query, and briefly pausing in the menu dialogue for a user input. For instance, a user may respond by confirming the utterance recognition, by refuting the utterance recognition or by failing to respond thus implying confirmation of the utterance recognition. For high confidence levels, implicit confirmation allows a user to choose to reply if correction is needed or to not reply to imply correct recognition without substantially slowing menu navigation. Thus, at step 38 voice recognition IVR 16 waits for a predetermined time to obtain a user response to the implicit confirmation. If the user refutes the implicit verification, then at step 40, the user is returned to step 30 for re-prompt with the counter added to by 1. If the user fails to respond or affirms the recognition, the process proceeds to step 42 at which the user is forward to the menu node associated with the recognized utterance. As a specific example, if the prompt at step 28 is for a company name to obtain a stock quote and voice recognition IVR 16 detects a user utterance of "SBC," then the implicit confirmation might be a statement or query of "Obtaining the quote for SBC." The user confirms recognition of the utterance as SBC either by an explicit affirmation with a "yes" or implicit affirmation of silence. Alternatively, the user refutes-the voice recognition, such as with a "no" resulting a return to the original prompt for a re-attempt of the utterance.
If the confidence level determination at step 34 is a medium confidence, the process proceeds to step 44 for explicit confirmation. Explicit verification prompts the user to either confirm or refute a given interpretation of the user's utterance by making clear to the user that either an affirmation or refutation is needed before navigation through the menu is continued. Explicit confirmation slows navigation progress to a greater degree than does implicit confirmation but may ultimately save time in those instances where interpretation of the user's utterance was not correct. Thus, by associating explicit confirmation with medium confidence levels, the navigation through the menu by the user is slowed only in those instances where a high enough probability of an incorrect interpretation exists. Explicit confirmation may slow navigation in cases where interpretation was correct, but still results in time savings compared with having the user re-state the utterance as opposed to stating an affirmation or refutation, like "yes" or "no," which are generally easier to interpret.
As an example of explicit confirmation at step 44, if the user utterance was for a stock quote for SBC with the interpretation of SBC having a medium confidence level, then at step 44 voice recognition IVR 16 will query the user by stating "Do you want a quote for SBC?" The query requires a response from a limited glossary of affirmations or refutations that are more easily interpreted. Thus, at step 46 the user might affirm the interpretation of SBC by stating "That's right" or "Yes," or might refute the interpretation by stating "That's wrong" or "No." If voice recognition IVR 16 is able to obtain a high confidence affirmation or refutation, the process proceeds to step 48 for determination of whether the user affirmed or refuted the interpretation. If the user affirmed the interpretation, the process proceeds to step 42 for navigation to the selected node associated with the utterance. If the user refutes the interpretation, the process proceeds to step 50 for a restatement of the utterance and incrementing of the counter by 1 and then to step 30 for another attempt to interpret the utterance. If the user's affirmation or refutation has a low confidence level, the process proceeds to step 52 for a prompt of explicit confirmation of the affirmation or refutation, such as by a query of "Did you say yes?" At step 54, the user utters an affirmation to continue through menu navigation at step 42 or a refutation resulting in a request by the system for another utterance attempt at step 50.
If the confidence level determination at step 34 is a low confidence determination, then the process proceeds to step 56 to request a restatement of the utterance by the user. At step 56, a concise interrogative prompt is commanded to request the user to repeat the utterance and the process proceeds to step 30 to accept the re-stated utterance from the user with the counter incremented by one. The re-prompt at step 56 is constructed to ensure proper behavior by the user in repeating the utterance and pursuing as smooth a progression as possible through the call flow with as little delay as possible. A concise interrogative prompt is a query of a single word conveyed as a question, such as stating "Pardon?" Since the concise interrogative prompt immediately follows the user's utterance, the natural user behavior is to re-state the utterance more clearly. The use of a single-word prompt minimizes delay and avoids user confusion.
Referring now to
At step 60, voice recognition IVR 16 pauses to interpret any item name utterance from the user. If an utterance is made that matches an utterance variable or a DTMF variable, the process proceeds to step 62 to find the node associated with the interpreted utterance. If a recognizable utterance is not interpreted at step 60, the process proceeds through steps 64 to 82 to list the menu items and accept a user input. For instance, at step 64, item 1 from the menu is listed along with a touch tone for the selection of item 1. As an example, if item 1 is a balance inquiry, the user is instructed to either state "balance" or select the number 1 from his keypad. At step 66, a pause allows the user to select an input. If an input is made, explicit or implicit confirmation may be requested. If no input is made, the process proceeds to the next item until the user selects an item or the list of items is exhausted. After exhaustion of the item list, at step 84 a pause occurs to allow selection of any item name. If an item is selected, the process proceeds to the selected menu node at step 62. If no selection is made, the process proceeds to step 86 to re-prompt the user to select an item and the list of items is repeated from step 64.
The steps depicted by
Dual modality of both touch tone and voice recognition inputs enhances user satisfaction in situations where users lack familiarity with voice recognition or where the use of touch tone is inappropriate or unsafe, such as when driving a car. In one embodiment, the user is can navigate using only voice recognition or only touch tone interaction or with both modalities. For instance, a prompt informs the user of the availability of voice recognition and asks the user to either state the purpose of the call or select a touch tone. In an alternative embodiment, a touch tone interface is made available on a selective basis at nodes that the user has particular difficulty in navigating. Thus, a touch tone menu is available to accommodate that user preference or to aid in difficult environments, such as with complex menu choices, excessive background noise or a poor telephone connection.
Although the present invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Pierce Sparks 'Space'; Idiots Rule in 'Shlemiel': Jeremy Gerard
Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- David Hyde Pierce and Rosie Perez are a match made in comedy heaven, he the dour fussbudget, she the force of nature who will not be deterred.
If that sounds like the setup for an "Odd Couple" redux, well Molly Smith Metzler could do worse than Neil Simon as role model. Her play, "Close Up Space," is the kind of zinger machine with heart that once filled Broadway theaters at matinee time and sent the paying customers home with a smile.
Hyde Pierce is Paul, a book editor and grammar pedant who can summon wrath worthy of Lewis Black over an Oxford comma. Perez is Vanessa Finn Adams, his best-selling author and meal ticket, who rather loves serial commas, not to mention abject fealty and available sex.
Vanessa, sorry to say, is tangential to the very slim plot of "Close Up Space," which refers to both the proof-reader's mark and -- need I say it? -- Paul's extreme diffidence, particularly as it pertains to his daughter, Harper (Colby Minifie), prone to outrageous attention-getting acts since the death of her mother some years ago.
"Close Up Space" is a motley of quirksome characters brought together less by circumstance than by authorial whimsy. Also orbiting elliptically around Paul are Bailey (Jessica DiGiovanni), the new intern from Vassar, and Steve (Michael Chernus) the touchy-feely office manager who has camped out in the foyer for want of living space. He needs a hug.
Reality Check
Vanessa is the reality check (a terrifying thought) and Perez plays her to the hilt, whipping the moldering widower into action to reclaim his daughter's love.
Performed without intermission on Todd Rosenthal's cozy, arcadian-windowed set, "Close Up Space" comes perilously close to wearing out its welcome, especially for the wackiness-averse. Director Leigh Silverman deftly keeps the action unfolding at a clip. And how many plays feature in a critical role an opaque projector (the better for Paul to demonstrate his blue-pencil prowess)? The man does not want to know from Power Point.

'Shlemiel the First'
If you've had it up to here with dopey Christmas TV specials and the same three carols poisoning the atmosphere, "Shlemiel the First" offers the perfect antidote: dopey Jewish comedy.
Robert Brustein, eminent critic and founder of two of the country's most important resident theaters, cooked up this stone soup in 1994. The story comes from Isaac Bashevis Singer's "The Fools of Chelm and Their History," one of many folkloric accounts of the real Polish city of Chelm and its infamously provincial Jewish community. In other words, a twofer -- an extended Polish Jewish joke.
Brustein enlisted for the project three brilliant collaborators: lyricist Arnold Weinstein, composer Hankus Netsky and director-choreographer David Gordon.
The story concerns Shlemiel (Michael Iannucci), dispatched by the great thinkers to spread the word that Chelm is home to the world's wisest rabbis. Shlemiel gets quickly turned around and is convinced that the town he has returned to is a second Chelm, right down to the woman who foolishly thinks he's her wife.
The touring company production at NYU's Skirball Center is somewhat more like a shadow Chelm than the real thing (I saw the original, and it was delicious). But the story still has its rough charms and the klezmer orchestra, under the precise direction of Zalmen Mlotek, is joyous.

Sites were level and had FHU. The reservation system can be strange. Per their recommendation on the phone, I made reservations by e-mail, I got prompt reply to complete by calling with cc number. I called 3 times to do this and never got a return call! We would have liked to stay for a few more days but they had not room, yet there were 3-4 empty spaces every night we were there. That seems high number of no shows, i suspect they did not have good hold on their space availability! Nonetheless, we would stay here again. We live the location and access! - ournextstop

Really nice place to stay while visiting the area. Not a destination resort. Very well kept nice pull-through sites as well as back-ins. Clean and well run. Very nice laundry room. Yes, the airplanes are loud but its the sound of freedom. It's an Air Force base. We stay here whenever we are in this area and have always been satisfied.

Canmarc has advised Cominar that it is not prepared to enter into such discussions.Pursuant to the Offer, the unitholders of Canmarc will receive $15.30 in cash per Canmarc Unit (the "Cash Alternative"), not subject to proration. Alternatively, Cominar proposes to offer Canmarc unitholders the opportunity to participate in the growth of the combined entity via a unit election option pursuant to which Canmarc unitholders would exchange each Canmarc Unit they hold for 0.7054Cominar Units (the "Unit Alternative"), with an aggregate maximum of 16 million Cominar Units available pursuant to this option, subject to proration.The Offer, which was unanimously approved by Cominar's Board of Trustees, is expected to be immediately accretive to Cominar's distributable income, funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations per Cominar Unit.The Offer is not subject to a vote by Cominar unitholders.Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Cominar agreed with the vendor of such Canmarc Units that if, within a 180-day period starting as of the date hereof, Cominar, or any of its affiliates, completes the Offer for consideration to the unitholders of Canmarc in excess of $15.30 per Canmarc Unit, it would pay the vendor the difference between such offered consideration and $15.30.The Cash AlternativeThe all-cash purchase price under the Cash Alternative represents a premium of 15.2% over the closing price of $13.28 per Canmarc Unit on November 25, 2011, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Offer.The consideration under the Cash Alternative provides Canmarc unitholders with certainty of value and immediate liquidity, and removes the risk associated with the continued ownership of Canmarc Units.The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. National Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal and Caisse Centrale Desjardins have provided Cominar with a commitment to fund the entire consideration payable for the Canmarc Units and back-stop post-closing refinancing and liquidity requirements.The Unit AlternativeBased on the exchange ratio offered under the Unit Alternative and before any proration of the unit consideration, the monthly cash distributions to Canmarc unitholders electing the Unit Alternative are expected to increase by approximately 6.9%.Additionally, Canmarc unitholders electing the Unit Alternative will have the opportunity to participate in the future upside of Cominar. The acquisition of Canmarc is expected to significantly enhance Cominar's profile by providing it with the following benefits:Addition of high-quality, complementary portfolio of properties: The acquisition of Canmarc will provide Cominar with an additional 8.8 million square feet of high-quality real estate that is complementary to its existing portfolio. Combined with Cominar's existing properties, the addition of Canmarc's assets will create a unique portfolio of high-quality properties including a number of landmark buildings.Enhanced size and diversification: The acquisition of Canmarc will increase Cominar's asset base by approximately 42% to approximately 30 million square feet, with an enhanced footprint in the Province of Québec and a meaningful presence in the Maritimes, western Canada and Ontario. Furthermore, Cominar's portfolio will benefit from enhanced diversification among the office, retail and industrial asset classes.Improved capital markets profile: The acquisition of Canmarc will increase Cominar's enterprise value to $4.4 billion, creating the second-largest diversified REIT in Canada, while increasing liquidity for Cominar unitholders. Accordingly, Cominar will benefit from stronger access to capital.Lower cost of capital:The increased size and enhanced geographic and asset class diversification resulting from the acquisition of Canmarc is expected to allow Cominar to benefit from a lower cost of capital, thus improving its competitiveness for future asset and portfolio acquisitions.Positioned for further growth: The combined entity will be ideally positioned to execute Cominar's continued expansion in its key markets and in the Ontario market.Synergies: Given the scale of its existing operations in Québec, Cominar expects to realize synergies from the combination of the two entities. Cominar's knowledge of the key markets in which Canmarc operates is expected to result in lower operating costs and improved operating efficiencies, creating further synergies for Cominar.Immediately accretive: The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to distributable income, funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations. The accretion to adjusted funds from operations is in turn expected to result in a decreased payout ratio for the combined entity.Mr. Michel Dallaire, Cominar's President and Chief Executive Officer, said: "The Canmarc assets are highly complementary to Cominar's existing portfolio. With a unique base of high-quality properties benefiting from increased scale and diversification, as well as a significantly-enhanced capital markets profile, Cominar will be ideally-positioned to continue its geographic expansion."Pro Forma Cominar Leverage While the Offer will require Cominar to temporarily increase its leverage, Cominar intends to align its capital structure with its long-term objectives over time.Mr. Robert Després, Chairman of Cominar's Board of Trustees, said: "Cominar's historically conservative approach to leverage has provided it with the financial flexibility to pursue attractive investment opportunities such as the acquisition of Canmarc. Cominar's Board of Trustees is confident that management will successfully reduce Cominar's leverage in due course through access to attractive capital, reflecting its enhanced scale and geographic and asset class diversification."Additional Details on the OfferCominar's takeover bid will be made available to unitholders of Canmarc following receipt of a complete unitholders' list from Canmarc or earlier by publication of an advertisement of the takeover bid. The Offer will be subject to certain conditions outlined in the definitive offer documentation that Cominar expects to file in the near future with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.This press release does not constitute an offer for or solicitation of Canmarc Units in any jurisdiction. Any such solicitation would be made only by formal offer and only in those jurisdictions where Cominar may legally do so.BMO Capital Markets is acting as financial advisor to Cominar. Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP is acting as legal counsel to Cominar.PROFILE as at November 28, 2011Cominar is the largest commercial property owner in the Province of Québec. Cominar owns a real estate portfolio of 269 high-quality properties, consisting of 53 office, 55 retail and 161 industrial and mixed-use buildings that cover a total area of 21.0 million square feet in the Greater Québec City, Montréal and Ottawa-Gatineau areas as well as in the Atlantic Provinces. Cominar's objectives are to deliver growing cash distributions payable monthly to its unitholders and to maximize unitholder value by way of integrated management and the expansion of its portfolio.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release may contain forward-looking statements with respect to Cominar and its operations, strategy, financial performance and financial condition. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may", "will", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "intend", "believe" or "continue" or the negative thereof or similar variations.

Dr. Robert Bernstein, developer of the Follicular Unit Transplantation procedure for hair restoration is featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show discussing hair loss and its treatment.
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 8, 2008 - The Oprah Winfrey Show features Dr. Bernstein discussing his pioneering follicular unit hair transplant procedure, focusing on the newest diagnostic and treatment techniques for http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/hair-transplant/index.php [hair restoration]. The Oprah Winfrey Show aired Tuesday, October 7th at 4:00PM EST on ABC.
Dr. Bernstein is a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in New York. He is recognized world-wide for his pioneering work in the treatment of http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/hair-loss/index.php [hair loss]. Dr. Bernstein is known for developing the revolutionary Follicular Unit Transplantation procedure for hair restoration.
After introducing Dr. Bernstein to Oprah, Dr. Mehmet Oz (health expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show) presents video footage of Dr. Bernstein performing a hair transplant and then invites the patient live onstage to be inspected by Oprah. In addition to engaging with the audience about http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/hair-loss/index.php [baldness] and hair transplant procedures, Dr. Bernstein examines a person from the audience who is experiencing early hair loss using an instrument known as a densitometer.
The densitometer is a self-contained, portable, device that houses a magnifying lens for viewing hairs close to the scalp. The idea behind densitometry is to determine the degree of miniaturization, or shrinking of the hair's diameter, which contributes to hair loss. This information is used to evaluate whether the patient is a good candidate for hair transplant or medical treatment, as well as to predict future hair loss.

Dawn from Independence, MO – Verified Buyer
Agree with other reviewers challenge to a degree putting together multiple pieces but pretty easy just takes time. Main cabinet snaps together then secures with screws. Sort your parts, take time aligning everything & should be fine. Had to enlarge 4 pre-punched holes but no issues otherwise. Heavy duty end product and nothing on the market for the money to compare, tall steel cabinet, back/main shelves heavy duty sectioned cardboard. I modified mine to only use the bottom two sections for multiply dividers and made the top two into 1 half section shelf no dividers and left the top shelf open for tall objects. Also added corner dowel pieces for the shelves in front roughly 3-3 1/2" tall for added support under each shelf section for added support although not really necessary.
Good Value
Ronnie from Morganville, NJ – Verified Buyer
does the job, good value for the money, installation is a bit challenging.
It's OK
Valerie from Duluth, MN – Verified Buyer
It's a pain to put together, but that is expected. It would have been much easier though, if the holes on the cardboard backing had been punched correctly as none of the holes line up with the metal side pieces properly. To fix this, I had to elongate the cardboard holes. But now it's up and standing - hopefully for a long time. Pros: It holds stuff Cons: The holes on the back cardboard panels were improperly placed.

Paul Krugman Calls the Koch Brothers 'Perfect Villains' and 'Serious Evildoers'
8:50 PM, Mar 25, 2014 • By MARK HEMINGWAY
Now I know that making building supplies, petrochemicals, paper, and supplying energy aren't exactly exciting businesses when we're all going gaga over Mark Zuckerberg's latest virtual reality investment. It's true that some Koch products have environmental costs, but much of what the Kochs provide is essential to the way we live and can't really be produced any other way. The Kochs also employ 100,000 people and make so many different essential items such a grand scale that the notion that they don't provide value or enable others to make money is laughable, especially coming from an economist of Krugman's esteem. This notion that they don't innovate is also absurd; Koch Industries spends about $100 million a year on R&D at the parent level. That total's much higher if you include the Koch subsidiaries. If it makes Krugman feel any better, Koch supports innovation by making components found in your iPhone and nearly every computer. And yes it's true, that the Koch brothers inherited a very valuable company. But they've taken what they were given and grown the company far, far beyond what they inherited through some pretty savvy business accumen. They started out with some pretty big advantages in life, but dismissing what they've done as "unearned privilege" is absurd.
There's also the hundred of millions they've given to cancer research and other charitable endeavors, but if Krugman bothered to mention that, the Kochs might come across as less-than-perfect villains.
But again, the point here is not to be honest about what the Kochs do or what they contribute to society. It's to dehumanize them, so Democrats can call them evil and "un-American" from here to November and still feel good about themselves when they're done spewing this contemptible rhetoric.
Oh, don't tell Paul Krugman, but he's not just being grossly uncharitable here, he's also spectacularly unoriginal.

An anonymous reader writes: Cnet has claimed Apple's iPhone is the worst phone in the world, for several reasons. From the article: "The iPhone may be the greatest handheld surfing device ever to rock the mobile Web, and a fabulous media player to boot. It may be the highest-rated mobile phone on CNET UK, but as an actual call-making phone, it's rubbish, and we aim to prove it." And so follows 1,500 words aiming to explain why.
