Abstract: A new game of cards (FIG. 1) (1) having a first playable side (5) containing a word, letter, symbol, or number that a player must alter in some manner, and a second playable side (6) that contains a symbolic instruction and at least one word, letter, symbol, or number from another group. A set of second playable sides (13) contains each unique symbolic instruction and opposes a set of first playable sides, each first playable side in the set having the same word, letter, symbol, or number and a point value. Each set of second playable sides are specifically designed to change a set of first playable sides contained on other cards. One or more players play the game of cards (1) using the second playable side of the card, which is grouped with other used cards during the round to become recycle cards (45) added to the bottom of the deck of cards (18) for use of the first playable side later in the game. Thus one or more players can play a game of cards (1) thereby causing the cards to randomize and recycle.

Abstract: An improved scoop combination or measuring spoon combination (FIG. 1A) (1) having a handle (2) with a bowl (3) at one end and, at the opposing end, a bracket that removably mounts to a container closure (FIG. 1B) (10). The top of the bracket is covered and substantially angled to support the scoop or measuring spoon combination (1) on a work surface and to catch remnants of material that may fall from the scoop or measuring spoon combination (1) while in the self-supporting position (FIG. 2). Additionally, the bowl (3) of the scoop or measuring spoon may have measurement marks (8), and the top of the bracket may remain open to provide a way for a human to easily cause the scoop or measuring spoon combination (1) to scoop out or measure the ingredients of a container. Thus, several advantages include keeping scoops or measuring spoons from getting lost, getting crusty with granular material that came into contact with a wet surface, and taking up more counter or drawer space.

Abstract: A curved or straight document stand unit for supporting one or more documents is disclosed. The outside and inside surfaces of the document stand unit are vertically-oriented whereas both the top and bottom surfaces are planar. Further, the document stand unit disclosed herein has two longitudinal ends with vertically-oriented surfaces and a connection apparatus on at least one of the longitudinal ends. In the unit, the top planar surface and the bottom planar connect the outside surface and the inside surface. The top or bottom planar surface of the unit includes at least one slot or groove for insertion of a document.
