Title: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on January 29, 2007, 11:42:49 PM
Since we seem to like the one word game.. I started this in another group and it is now almost our longest thread lol It's like the psychoogy test..

It's kinda fun and interesting -- there is no wrong answer everyone just writes one word that comes to mind based on what the previous word written was. It can really take some twists and turns
 
Like if I write DOG
Next person may say CAT
Next person may say LITTER
Next person may say SCOOP
Next person may say ICECREAM etc...
 
If ya want to try it .... ... .. .  there are only two rules: Write only ONE WORD and you can keep making entries but not in reference to your own previously posted word -
 
First word is GRASS

respite

confusion reigns  ;)  I thought you meant you understood because I was German.

Stollen (Schittchen) is a traditional German Christmas cake.  It looks like braided coffee cake and almonds are used in the outside glaze.

I found a receipe on the net that sounds like my Grandma's.  It's at the bottom of the page.

http://www.kitchenproject.com/html/GBcoffee.html#stollen (http://www.kitchenproject.com/html/GBcoffee.html#stollen)

What's this about almond shipments being stolen?  It's not close enough to Christmans to start stockpiling them.

wag (their tails0

HEY SAM!  just realized why no one realized what kind of puppies.  there is a type of spaniel where the first 4 letters of the name is a bad word and the forum filter removes it.  they are capital C, small o, small c, small k, small e, small r Spaniels.

We're talking about names for them and we usually use something musical.  I wanted to name the boys Lawrence and Myron so the three girls would have been Anna one, Anna two, and Anna three.  Just need to find an accordian and bubble machine.

(Jim was correct on the coin! Don't know the years minted but do know I have one in my desk drawer at home. Technically, it is a bison on the reverse, not a buffalo but in the USA the words bison and buffalo are used almost interchangeably to describe the animal that once roamed the American plains in huge thunderous herds...Tatanka is the Sioux Indian name.)

Before each night is done their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun they’ll take over the world.
They’re Pinky and The Brain Yes, Pinky and The Brain
Their twilight campaign is easy to explain.
To prove their mousey worth
They’ll overthrow the Earth They’re dinky

grep tool, information science
A Unix command for searching files for lines matching a given regular expression (RE). Named after the qed/ed editor subcommand "g/re/p", where re stands for a regular expression, to Globally search for the Regular Expression and Print the lines containing matches to it. There are two other variants, fgrep which searches only for fixed strings and egrep which accepts extended REs but is usually the fastest of the three.
Used by extension to mean "to look for something by pattern". When browsing through a large set of files, one may speak of "grepping around". "Grep the bulletin board for the system backup schedule, would you?

By the way...it finally dawned on me...We really ARE a global community.  DUH!   :v8slap:
In this word association game, sometimes I have made references to things that I thought everyone would know about (goodship lollypop, buffalo head nickel, etc). Though I did not grow up in the United States, I was still brought up on American culture.  There are others on the board that do not have that frame of reference and I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE for forgetting that!  I will TRY to put my thinking into the response...makes it more fun to see what brought someone to that thought.

Sorry about the duplicate.  This Comcast trouble is getting worse.  They say there is nothing wrong.  Here's the info from this page when it loaded "Page created in 53.285 seconds with 16 queries.  It actually took a minute and one half to display.  When I post it takes 2 to 3 minutes to complete.  Couple of other forums have the same problems and they are different software and different servers.

Jim, Try running trace route to this website, samisite.

A Trace Route command could tell you if there is a delay somewhere between you and the server. Tracing the route helps to identify where the break down occurs. Sometimes there is one server that you are hitting on the way to a site that is dropping out.  Sometimes an ISP or host can help resolve.

Use your DOS command prompt.
Take it to your c drive if you are not already on c
C:\Documents and Settings\Sam>cd c:\

Then type in tracert domainname
C:\>tracert samisite.com

And repeat again for  C:\>tracert forum.samisite.com 
Should be similar.

Post your results here so we can see......

out



(lol sorry Sam, yes Charlottes Web is much nicer... No worries Jim, that is bound to occasionally happen... Have you checked your route with Visual Route lite.. or a similar route checking program? Sometimes when I and others play a particular game together and we start getting booted or the screens don't respond properly because they are loading too slowly, I run this check as do those who have it and we always find it is the route getting bounced around too much and taking too long. Maybe it is worth a try just to be able to show them some proof of what is happening. ?? PS A majority of us that have this problem are with Comcast but it can happen to any server I guess. )

I use Trace Route.  On most of the sites the path was short and fast when you accessed a static page.  If I did a traceroute to a forum or blog, the last site, usually the server or a level 3 box in the data center shows no access.  I'm told that usually means that Comcast is blocking the packets from those sites.  Good news is the places i couldn't access at all started working about 6pm.  Still have slow access here but at least I'm back up.

I don't think I've ever used LOL because some people interpret it differently to others (Lots of Love, Laugh Out Loud, Lots of Laughs etc.)

( :-[  a thousand years ago I released a few crickets into the restaurant area of Pizza Hut where I was working.  They were supposed to be good luck and that location needed some! For one day, we could hear them chirping very loudly from any table in the room.  Our normal monthly exterminator was scheduled in for the next day which of course took care of them.)

Tree

Quote
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant…can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high, apple pie, in the sky, hope
So anytime you’re feelin’ low
Instead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Ooops there goes another rubber tree
Ooops there goes another rubber tree
Ooops there goes another rubber tree plant.


I like this game because we get to know each other a bit more. And actually learn a bit about local slang!

The trip was great! Wandering around in China for 3 weeks. Thinking of going back in February for a few weeks. Anyhow, I got back home on Thursday, and tomorrow I am flying up to the island in the north of Australia where I keep my boat. I will live on her for a couple of weeks then back to Sydney for Christmas.

Phew! Don't know how I stand the pace! Lucky I don't have to go to work any more!  >:D

You mentioned that before about Samisite in China!   :-\
I have no idea why this little site would be a problem.  Nothing controversial about it.
Maybe our server is banned....Maybe someone else on our server has something that is deemed "inappropriate".
 :-\
My stats do show that CHINA is in my country list as accessed the site, 96 pages in October.  Not many, but does show up.  This month there were 20 pages so far.  Singapore did better.  1533 pages last month FOR SAMISITE.COM.  Neither company is listed for access to the FORUM section.

movies



(One of my favorite reoccuring dreams:  I am inside my own head. I am settled in for a nice dream, but nothing happens. Blank.  So I have to go into the projection room (like in a theater) to tell them to start the dream.  No one available and there is no film on the projector. I go into the next room. Turns out to have THOUSANDS of film canisters on shelves.  You walk up and down the rows reading titles of dreams.  Like a bookstore or video store, they are in order by type of content.  Nightmares, comedies, love stories, dramas, flying adventures, all kinds of things. I get to PICK the kind of dream that I want to watch, like a movie.  Some are obviously used well, while others are dusty.  Once I pick the title of my dream, I settle back to watch my dream.  And it becomes my dream!           Started dreaming this thing back in 1979 when I used work part-time as a projectionist while going to college and it still shows up every now and then. Slight differences in the beginning, but always get a different ending...I pick different movies each time for my dream sequence!  :yes: )

In a virtual world called Yoville  you can report to the factory every six hours and earn more coins to buy stuff for your home, to wear, eat etc.. lol but I figured no one would know what that meant so worker came next.. :-)

Yes.  I also like learning about people on these little word association posts. 
Sometimes the words don't make sense.  Like you, I have questioned how someone got that word!
I usually try to read back two or three words and see where that leads my train of thought.  And see if any comments were posted.  Sometimes unusual combinations or long-forgotten memories come to mind, like that little doll.  :)

My Oscar has had nasal issues all his life. The snoring is usually soft but sometimes it cranks up and is FUNNY!  Sometimes while he is awake his nose whistles and he gets so irritated! (Suppose he is actually irritated with the stuffy nose that causes the whistling.)

feeling

Guy Faukes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes), not celebrated in the US as far as I am aware of, is a British celebration that is still somewhat celebrated in the ex-colonies on November 5th annually. You should see the casualties at our local SPCA the night and next day after. A dog's hearing is so sensitive, the loud bangs are estimated to be 4 times louder for them, driving them to bite and break their teeth on steel fences and gates, scratching their paws on doors until their skin and nails come off, some even bleeding to death. I did not know about this and it wasn't until several years ago that I saw some of these things with me own eyes that I decided to ban crackers from my household. New Years Eve and Divali are also particular problems and we keep our animals indoors and put on loud classical music, but those crackers that are shot up and whistle as they fly into the sky before going off still cause some animals to go berserk.

Sami,

I know it doesn't matter in this game, but I noticed that the word "innocent", written by me one page above, was already used here: h--p://samisite.com/forum/index.php?topic=85.45, nevertheless, the Search function didn't find it... how come It finds only mine  ??? (I used Advanced Search only on FUN AND GAMES)

Can it happens same thing on the Change-One-Thing game where it does matter?

If yes, could you explain us (me) how did you do it? so next time I wouldn't have doubts about results...Thanks

Use the white small search box ON THIS PAGE and it will search ONLY this thread.
If you search in Fun And Games board, it will come back with the LAST post in any one thread.  Since there is only ONE thread in Fun And Games area that has that word, you only get ONE result.

Pythagoras --> led me to Pythagorean theorem   (In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).
which led me to hypotenuse  -->  angle   --> square   ---> four
Does that help Tony?  Makes sense to me.  :)

Yea, I knew that theorem...  I was trying to find how you call in English that three sides rule (30° - 60° and 90° angles) that we call "escuadra" in Spanish and "squadra" in Italian... That was the object that came first to mind following Pythagoras - hypotenuse and angle.

What I know about triangles...
all have 3 sides, all have total 180°
Equilateral Triangle:  3 equal 60° angles, 3 equal sides 
Isosceles Triangle:   2 equal angles, 2 equal sides
Scalene Triangle:  No equal angles,  No equal sides
Acute Triangle:  All angles are less than 90°
Obtuse Triangle: 1 angle is more than 90°
Right Triangle:  1 angle is 90° "right angle"
Right Isosceles Triangle: 1 90° "right" angle, 2 equal 45° angles

The physical objects shown in your image are both "drafting triangles" and are examples of RIGHT triangles.
The first one appears to be a Scalene (30-60-90 Triangle), and the second is an Isosceles (45-45-90 Triangle).  Drafting triangles (triangular shaped rulers), are slid along a T square to draw triangles.

They come in several forms, including framing squares, try square, combination square, AND triangle shapes.

Flu fighting remedy:
1. Make a cuppa instant chicken soup or if you have the real thing its even better and eat a slice of slightly buttered toast with generous spread of Marmite (gives the tummy a lining of vitamin b and boosts sodium level).
2. Make and drink the following: A glass of 200/250ml freshly squeezed orange juice and dissolve  Disprin and dissolve 1000 to 1500mg Vit C tablets (crush between 2 teaspoons). Stir in 50ml red wine and top up with a freshly squeezed half lemon. Sugar to taste and then stir in a desert spoon of honey. Drink the glass down, no sipping allowed.
3. Wear an extra T-shirt and get into bed with an extra blanket and sweat it out.
4. Suck a Strepsil even if deemed unnecessary.

Strictly Come Dancing  is a name that BBC assigned to a TV format widely spread in Europe. Every country assigns their own name to the exactly same program. In Italy: "Ballando con le Stelle" (Dancing with the Stars)

YES.  I remember that cult.  Here's an interesting 1985 video with the leader, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, about the orange people sect:
h**p://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-au&brand=ninemsn&tab=m163&mediaid=110686&from=39&vid=9743471e-ba3f-4d9c-bd2f-f0cc78618194&playlist=videoByTag:mk:en-AU:vs:0:tag:aunews_au60minutes:ns:MSNVideo_Top_Cat:ps:10:sd:-1:ind:1:ff:8A


Quote
"In November 1985, the United States charged Rajneesh with immigration fraud. He pled guilty with the understanding that he would be allowed to leave the country. After a time Rajneesh returned to a commune in Poona. Meanwhile, the community's assets - including 93 custom-built Rolls Royces - were auctioned off. Thirteen of his lieutenants were convicted of crimes ranging from attempted murder to wiretapping.

After returning to India in 1986, Rajneesh directed his followers to stop using the term "Bhagwan." After a time failing health caused him to stop giving discourses, and word came to his followers that the name Rajneesh was also being dropped. He began to be called "Osho," which he said was derived from an expression of the American psychologist of religion William James, "oceanic experience." The commune in India was thereafter called the Osho Institute and Osho Meditation Centers could be found in major cities around the world.

Rajneesh died of heart disease at Poona, India, January 19, 1990."

His teachings and books are still on the web and in printed materials

TIP
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on March 08, 2009, 07:05:53 AM
unknown...


(in some places...)

//////////////////////

Curiosity:  (please, try to understand... it was translated from Italian)  :-[

The word “mancia” (“tip” n.T.) derives from the French “manche” (sleeve),  and was exactly the sleeve that the checkers gave to the knight in the cavalleresche ceremonies;  today it represents an acknowledgment for the received attentions.  With the tip, it comes rewarded who has served to us with particular attention and gentility, but it does not have to be absolutely left if to make it has been the owner, and it is obvious that we do not have to feel obligates to make it if we have not been well served.  It is a optional compensation but practically nearly of obligation for the waiters of the bar or the restaurant, for the cloth-keepers , the caretakers of the toilette, the staff of the hotel, the attache's that take care of persons and the taxi drivers.  The word “tip” does not go never pronounced; the gesture must turn out discreet, veiled and such not to force to stretch the hand. To the restaurant the tip is left on the small plate of the account or at the desk directly; in this last case who is at the desk will immediately let the waiter perceive of the amount received and how much to its favor. To the bar, it is sufficient to round off the amount, leaving the  rest on the saucer.
 
But if the tip in some Countries, species if of communist ideology, it is not appreciate at all, contrarily, in others it is quite obligatory: 

- in the United States it is obligatory for the waiters of the restaurant (if on the menù it is not specified that the service is comprised) and the taxi drivers, in the measure of 15% of the account; that is motivated from the fact that the salaries of these categories of workers is very low and the tip already is comprised in the calculation of the wage salary: not giving it would be equivalent in some way as to take money from their salary! … And it is obligated even when paying with the credit card: the receipt that you sign has an appropriate space for the tip to compile (and attention, than to compile it otherwise could be also some dishonest one!);

- in Egypt the tip (“bakshish”) is demanded from anyone lend a service or sells something: the amount is at the discretion personal, but to leave a tip to waiters, drivers and guides becomes indispensable for being able itself to assure a good service; 

- in France is giving nearly in every occasion to anyone that lends you a service, including the gas stations and car parking employees

- in Finland and India it is refused from the taxi drivers if they have  a taximeter; 

- in China, Cuba and in Korea of the North, the communist ideology considers it humiliating;
 
- in Japan and Polynesia it is considered injurious of the dignity of who receives it; 

- in Thailand it is considered same as alms.



////////////////////////////////


In Italy, at least to the south, where I live, it is not given to anybody.
I'm more American than Italian, so you can imagine how I feel when leaving a restaurant without leaving anything on the table...  :( :-[
I did it once, just arrived, and the waiters called me back "You forgot your change, Sr...."   :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on March 08, 2009, 09:30:21 AM
expected



You synopsis of tips is true.  USA requires tips to support the serving staff.  I waited tables twice in my life (hated it but did what I had to do).  Both times my wages were tiny and had the lunch/afternoon shift. People are in a hurry and not good at leaving money. Had to put in some evening hours just to make some money!  Had bad experiences from people that refuse to tip yet expected a babysitter for their rotten spoiled childeren that throw stuff all over the carpet.  Had a man take my tip off a table that was generous. Did it in front of my face. The manager made me back off when I accused him.  Had to wait on him, and he left no tip! 

I resent the fact that we are expected to tip in the USA.
One time my grandmother put money down for a tip after HORRIBLE service.  I picked it up and gave it back to her as the waiter was walking to our table.  He saw me and complained.  We got his manager involved and at the end, we proved why we should not have to leave a tip, and the manager gave us lunch free!  We were back at that restaurant 2 weeks later and that waiter was gone.  He should NOT have been a waiter ANYWHERE.

entitlement




I was a waitress and a bartender and I needed my tips.. but it motivated good service and eventually I became a manager.. but went back to bartending because the money was better and the hours were shorter. lol Long ago... I have been to Italy and realize tipping isn't expected except when we hired a private car and driver to take us to some cities off of a cruise once. They definitely expected their tip!!!!!

I am a good tipper. Probably too good sometimes. But only when the service is good. 
If the service is bad, I tell them and with hold tip.
(If the problem is due to the cooking but the waiter has done what HE can properly, still provide a tip.)

drum


I remember when Duracell used to use the cute little pink bunny.
They used to show two bunnies side by side beating a drum...one would slowly stop.
The other would keep playing. He would turn around and you would see that he had a duracell battery in his back.
Found a reference about it here:

melon colada    (I felt like a second serving  ;))

Midori = pretty green colored Melon flavored liqueur (http://www.midori-world.com/). Don't think I would want to drink directly, but put into other drinks (add midori with or replacement of rum) in a pina colada and YUMMMMY!!!!  Changes the color of the drink to light green, like a honeydew melon.  Cool, smooth and refreshing.  Like a melon shake.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a world-famous children's story by Lewis Carroll

Mad Hatter was a great character, along with the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, The White Rabbit (who is always late), and more.

Quiznos offers taco-sized sandwiches called Sammies that are great for children and smaller appetites!
"How did we get all that taste into a sandwich this size? We just started piling. Sammies are piled high with freshly-sliced meats, melted cheeses and veggies, special spices, all folded into a toasted Flatbread sandwich that fits in your hot little hand. These little sandwiches bursting with so much flavor, your other hand might just get jealous."

(Ha, I will have to explain that one! It comes from the Peace Hotel in Shanghai. It was the only international hotel in Shanghai allowed to remain open continuously during the Cultural Revolution. So most international visitors to Shanghai in that time (which would have been few) are likely to have stayed there. It is a magnificent building, still there today by the river, and currently undergoing extensive renovations.

(Double Dutch to me is two  using the same jumprope (or two) at the same time.  
I still have a pair of bright red wooden shoes from our trip to the great dyke in Holland back in 1971.

Double Dutch is rarely used by the folks with British origins here. In general, it's not a popular term probably because there is a large segment of Dutch originating folks who might not appreciate it.

How To A Rain Dance

1. Never do a rain dance on a hill.
2. Make sure you have a lot of room so you
don't run into anything.
3. Spin around in clockwise circles.
4. Make up your own rain chant.  It should be rhythmical
and easy to say fast.
5. Yell your rain chant while spinning around in circles.
6. If you are trying to get rid of rain, spin in
 counterclockwise circles and say your chant backwards.

Tony.... go to this site:   h**p://www.boatnorth.com/sailing/index.html
I found simple images that should help you understand.
1st image: shows just the main sail.  The mast is the tall pole in the middle.
2nd image: shows both the main sail and the jib.  The Jib is the smaller triangle in the front of the boat.  In this image, the jib is shown on the right.

Quote
sail forward of the main sail/mast
Means that the small JIB sail is in front of the mast (tall pole in center) like shown in 2nd image.


Don't know anything about sailing/boats but am good about finding things.   ;)

SO MANY homes in foreclosure, or about to be here in Florida.  So sad.  And people are ripping the homes apart (toilets, windows, door handles, anything they can take and selling the pieces.  When the homes finally are taken over by the banks, they are nothing but shell.

fall



I LOVE the fall and spring isn't bad either.  Love when temperature is chilly enough that you can wear sweaters, jackets.  Look FORWARD to COLD weather. We have horrible hot summers that are lasting longer and longer each year.  You can always layer on more to get warm but you can not take off enough to get cool.  When we went back to Germany a couple years ago, it was 9C (48F) for most of the days we were there and I was so energized by it. My kind of weather (so why am I in Florida??  ???)

and if you mow, you have to edge the driveway and yard.
I pay a service to mow and edge twice a month. Cheaper for me than trying to maintain a lawn mower, edger, weed eater, blower, etc. (I have tiny house and yard) And such a pleasure to come home to a freshly mowed lawn!  Makes me SMILE  :D

Quote
still (2)  –noun
1.    a distilling apparatus, consisting of a vessel in which a liquid is heated and vaporized and a cooling device or coil for condensing the vapor.
2.    a distillery.

Used for making home-made "spirits", also known as "moonshine" and alcoholic beverages.
Have you ever seen the TV show M*A*S*H?   Hawkeye and his tent mates have a STILL in the tent to make Gin.
During our country's prohibition period, it was illegal to have alcohol. Many people had home-made stills hidden deep in woods to keep them safe from the law enforcement!

Don Quixote > tilt ?
A NOVEL by Cervantes:  El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha
During the second quest: Don Quixote attacks (jousts with) windmills because he thinks they are giants.
Famous expression: "Tilting at windmills" = attacking imaginary enemies, or fighting unwinnable or futile battles
Man of laMancha was made into a movie and broadway musical.

No, I have not seen that show. But if it intends to truly be a meditation, then I am all for it!
In the county where my mother lives, they require any small claims lawsuits to first go through mediation. None of the judges will hear the case until the mediators have tried to settle.  My mother volunteers one day a week to do this job, and has done it for 8-9 years.  She gets a lot of people to resolve. Saves a LOT of money and drag on the court system!  And usually the parties are more satisfied than with a judge's verdict which often is one-sided.

BTW: Who of you guys believes that there are others kind of lives in other planets ?
All of you really think that we are completely alone in the vast immensity of the universe?
This theme has always fascinated me, but not from the fiction point of view, but from the serious reality.
Another thing: how big is the Universe… It’s hard to accept that it is endless. In an hypothetical straight trip, having all the speed and time available, where I should arrive?.  I have my own theory about it.

I think it has not been proven that there is life in the universe other than ours.
I think that day will eventually come.
I doubt we are the only planet with a form of life on it. 
Just not likely with so many planets, stars, moons.....
Besides, no where in the bible does it say that this planet is the only one with life. 
LOL - The universe is endless only because we have not found the end.  :)

I think it is inevitable there must be life on other planets. But what form does it take? Most sci-fi shows aliens as being like modified humans, but life elsewhere may take a form we have not imagined.
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on December 29, 2009, 06:22:32 PM
coming  :D

I think that we are not the only ones in the Universe.  However, the physical aspect of others forms of life will be determined by the environment, as the Earth conditions did with us. Our characteristics are product of millions of years of evolution. If for example, there were life in Jupiter, the “persons” must weight much more than us, consequently their feet or legs or whatever they have to support their weight should be designed in consequence. If they do not need oxygen to breathe, they wouldn't have nose, and so forth…

All is relative, the Himalaya, or an entire Continent are huge compared with us, normal people, as well as a human is much bigger than a sand grain… this grain is enormous compared with an atomic particle… and chances are that this small atomic particle is  immense compared with something we haven’t discovered yet.

That’s my theory: we are a minuscule part (or big, depending from where it is seeing) of something much bigger, which in turn, is part of a bigger one, which in turn is part of… and so on. The space between planets would be the same space existing molecularly between atoms, protons, etc..Only this way I can understand the immensity of the Universe: there will be always something bigger and bigger and bigger... in the opposite way, there will be always something smaller and smaller and smaller... :o

(no not coming, previous!  In Martian Chronicles we learn that people from earth populated Mars many generations ago)


I have often wondered if we were a science project for some larger being. Like the earth is just one large ant farm.  :D    

Tony, from your post, I take it you believe in evolution of the human form.  I don't.  I agree evolution takes place, changing species to fit environments (deveoloping camoflage, protective abilities, etc). But I still believe that MAN was placed here on earth.  Whether we were placed by God into the garden of eden or by crashed aliens, or on purpose I don't know. I believe our species was not a evolutionary development but of specific design.  I am a christian that believes in science too. Both the bible and the scientists have their understanding of the universe and I ride between the two accepting that both concepts may have PART of the answer.  Even if the big-bang theory is correct how the universe began  with an explosion, SOMEONE/SOMETHING had to put the necessary particles together to create the explosion.   ;)

I think the concept of God (or someone) creating Man and putting him on Earth was simply a primitive peoples way of understanding and explaining how it all happened, since evidence of what really happened did not come until much later. I think it is possible to believe in both God (of which there are many versions among the people on Earth), and the concept of how we evolved.

The mysteries of the universe, of which we know so little, just reinforce that as we learn more, we will need to re-examine our earlier explanations of how things happened.

:agree:

The bible is a marvelous historical document. Written by men. With men's understanding.  Much of it has been proven to be accurate. But not all.  I can accept that it is a work by men and their understanding of events.  I also think that is was inspired by God and is in no way complete.  Even if you believe in evolution (I do) it is not beyond possibility to accept that Adam/Eve were not evolved to that level, but placed into an ecosystem that already existed.  Either through divine placement or by other means it is possible that Adam/Eve were not originally from earth.  How do we know that the earth was not teraformed specifically for them?? 

Even as science reaches outward and inward, those discoveries have not changed my original beliefs. Those discoveries actually help to strengthen my core.  The more we know, the more we know that there is far more to know.

doctrine




Sami, do you really believe that all started with a single pair of adult humans, landed or placed in earth?

At that time, when the bible was written, there was other way of mass communication but the word. Anybody could say his own version of facts, probably heard from another person which, in turn, had his own convenient/modified/adjusted version.
- "A lie becomes true when repeated often enough"
- "A lie becomes true when you believe in it"
- "Ten thousand times repeated, a lie becomes true"
- "A lie becomes true with the passage of time"

This is what people say, I'm not saying that the bible is a lie, OK? just change the word "lie" for "version"  ;)

Tony I am not threatened or scared of the topic and I accept that you may or may not have differing opinions from my own.  I am not offended and hope you are not because we see things differently.  :)

Do you have proof that did not happen? I do not. I believe it is possible.
Just as I believe it is possible that we are not alone in the universe.

According to the bible, life spans were hundreds of years for the earliest people with no disease, no genetic problems.... given simple mathematic progression, it would not take long for a full varied population.   Simple math makes the scenario possible!

If each generation had 2 children each, in 10 you would have 1024 people.  Assuming you have a new generation every 15 years (adolescence), those it would take only 135 years to arrive at the 1024 people!

PEOPLE: 2   4   8   16   32   64   128   256   512   1024
YEARS:        15   30   45   60   75   90   105   120   135


At some point, it comes down to FAITH.
Two of my favorite bible quotes:
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)”
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and don't lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)”


Over time, books have been taken out of the bible (Catholic church removed some), others had translation issues changing the meanings... but as I said, I believe the bible is a work written by several men, inspired by God. It can not fully represent everything that God is since it was written from man's perspective. But that does not remove it's importance or its teachings.  Many of the historical places, people and events have been documented and verified using other sources made during the same periods.  I took two courses in college (1-old testament, 2 new testament) where we studied the content as historical reference rather than a book of religion. WONDERFUL courses. Though they were not intended to teach religion or doctrine, the end result was that the courses helped to strengthen my resolve, my belief, my faith.


The old T is basically rules for living...cleanliness, washing, toilet, cooking, marriage, rules and laws to prevent bacteria and other nasties from attacking human populations.  NOW the reasons why you should not put your waste treatment upstream of your drinking water makes sense. We know about infections, germs, inbreeding, so many things that were not understood at that time, yet the book was written as a set of rules to protect.  They were written in a way that could be understood by the people of that time. It was SO FAR advanced of man's knowledge when it was written.

Sami, in your math... in 135 years nobody dies??

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)”
  :yes: :TUP:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and don't lean on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)”

The smilies are just animated GIF files I have stored on the forum subdirectory and define in the forum software.
No special javascript necessary.  If you want one, right click the image and file save as to keep it on your own computer. To my knowledge, all have come from royalty-free websites that offer silly smilies.  I have HUNDREDS of them and started to sort by category...will take a while!)

Linking to external images:  Linking to your own images = OK.  If the site allows external links = OK (like Photobucket does), etc. Tony sometimes points to images he has stored on his site, or storage area at photobucket. That's perfectly fine. Use the INSERT IMAGE button (under the ITALICS button) and define the http address where the image is.  No one is allowed to link to images that are hosted on other sites that are intended for download only or are copyrighted, or not their own. If you are allowd to download the image, do it, then put it in a storage area of your own, link to it.  I don't want samisite taking someone else's bandwidth illegally just to pull in images.  If someone linked to samisite images and was pulling them into their forums I would be angry about it.  Stealing bandwidth is a big problem.

(Well spotted Tony. 'Money for jam' is the correct phrase. It comes from the days when laborers were paid with jam instead of money. The phrase is a colloquial term used to imply that 'money can be made easily' because jam was either easy to make or cheap to buy. It can be applied to any situation such as a cheap price of a good, or and easy profitable deal.)

We have an unofficial nude beach on the east coast of FL but it is populated with very heavy ugly people!  :D
We also have several nudist camps/colonies and vacation sites in central Florida.  Again, nothing to get excited about.  Friends of mine have a sister that lives in one of the colonies and they have visited her there a few times. Even if I were younger and thinner, it would not be my cup of tea.

heavy ugly physically or what?

Nude beaches do not always attract the "beautiful people". Sometimes there are unattractive people that are enjoying full sun too.  
1) very heavy (just too many rolls to show off publically), or
2) ugly physically: as in very hairy, wrinkly, old & scary, pruny (too much sun), etc  Lots of people that have had excessive sun exposure for way to many years!

(Please note that I am fat and I do not consider myself ugly inside or outside! But am aware that my size would not be the most attractive on a nude beach!  ;))

Found these images on Google Images to help illustrate what I mean:

(http://www.samisite.com/external/toohairy.jpg)

Most people would not like to see this lady on a nude beach.

Yes.  And I did it again!


My mother's first cousin died a few years ago, way before her time. She was several years younger than my mother yet she looked as if she were 20+ years older. She spent WAY too much time in the sun and looked much like the two very over tanned people.  Elephant skin?  Yes. Good description! Though she moisturized from the outside, the skin always gave me the creeps!

I'm also paying my excesses with the sun during years of weekends fishing when I was at the Caribbean, with low or not protection at all. The sun will send you the invoice many years later...
I'm going to the dermatologist at least once a year to remove spots that come out.  :(


What gives me creeps is thinking in that man with his spread arms saying: "Hi Tony, where have you been? come on and give me a tight hug!!"  :ss-shocked: :v8slap:

Sami, China tour guide it may well be! Two weeks later I am off to China again! I am taking a group of 6 to far north-western China.  We are doing a trek by camel across the Taklikaman desert, following the traditional route of the ancient Silk Road. I will be away 6 weeks!

Tony that is the point....! It is nonsense!     rofl  :clapping:  rofl

The meaning of the word he was trying to post:
gob·ble·de·gook  –noun
language characterized by circumlocution and jargon, usually hard to understand
as in: the gobble·de·gook of government reports.
—Synonyms
gibberish, doubletalk, bosh, mumbo jumbo.

Rick was basically saying that POLITICIANS talk nonsense (a kind of double speak that gets nothing said, even though words are spoken). 


The forum is making it even worse than a translation issue!
The forum keeps blocking the actual word from being posted. rofl   
gob·ble·de·gook does not usually have spaces or dashes!
Part of that word is considered very OFFENSIVE so the forum software keeps removing letters when you type the word the real way! 
To get around it, we have to add spaces or ..., etc to post the word itself, so the forum really does make it look like gibberish!!!

...Andrews plays a woman playing a man playing a woman...  What?

   ???
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on May 04, 2010, 04:28:55 PM

Clarification:
In the movie, Victor Victoria, the lead actress Julie Andrews (best known as nannies in Mary Poppins and Sound of Music) plays a strange character.  She is dressed as a man half the time. The other half she is dressed as a woman. But when she is dressed as a woman, her character is acting like a MAN dressed up as a woman! 

The movie is silly.  Her character is funny. 
She is a female singer that could not get hired.
But the club she wanted to play in would hire a cross-dressing MAN.
So to get the job, she said she was a MAN that could LOOK and SOUND like a woman.
She was immediately hired by the night club. 
The rest of the movie revolves around the fact that she is NOT a MAN but has to act like a man...except when that man is trying to be a woman. Then she can look/sound like herself, but not BE herself.
SO.... "Andrews plays a woman playing a man playing a woman"   :D

Austria


I think I can get this clarification too:
Julie Andrews, the actress in Victor Victoria was the nanny in Sound of Music.
One of the songs  in Sound of Music (a very popular song in Austria) was Edelweiss.

So..train of thought went from Victor Victoria to Edelweiss because the actress was Julie Andrews for both!
And Edelweiss makes me immediately think of Austria.

Robin Hood, Maid Marion, Friar Tuck, and Little John are characters that rebelled against Prince John while Richard the Lionhearted was fighting in the Crusades. It is a legend and Robin and his friends scurry around Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle as they harass the Prince's guards and evade his powerful armored knights. They steal from the rich and give to the poor after providing for themselves. It is partly a novel written by various authors and a new movie Sami mentioned has recently been released. I have not seen this movie yet but Bryan Adams acted and sang in one a few years ago that was very good.

I have to laugh because I used the word "polish" like in polishing shoes, which I associated with Sami's "buff", and Rick associated it as "Polish" like the people from Poland, and their famous Polony sausages. Clever!

Tony, "Ton of bricks" is actually used with other words as in, "The teacher came down on me like a ton of bricks when she turned around and saw me talking in class." It is just a symbolic expression, as Rick stated about our lives, to stress the level of trouble or hassle one sometimes has. I have no idea who said it, but it probably originates from the British or where imperial tons are or were used.

ant


partial Lyrics to song by Frank Sinatra came to mind:  "High Hopes"
Just what makes that little ol' ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
So any time you're getting low
'Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.

the morning alarm is startling to me.



We have bugs we call "no seeums" in some areas of Florida. They are tiny mosquitoes that you can't see but hear and feel (after they bite). Found most often around bodies of water (canals, lakes and ponds) they love humans! Sometimes swarm looking kinda like a fog... Luckily, they are not usually around/in homes unless too close to the water....

I have been to Zhejiang several times. It is a beautiful part of China. There are so many wonderful places in China. I am going back again in October.

I can speak Mandarin, but cannot read. It takes a lot of commitment and time to learn to read and write - not to mention needing a good memory! You need to know around 3000 characters to read a very basic newspaper, and around 7000 to be reasonably proficient. I did try to learn, but would forget the previous weeks characters, when I tried to learn the new ones! I think suffering from DOB was the main cause of my memory problems! :banghead:

Sami, I doubt that Samisite is specifically "banned", it is most likely affected by a blocked route somewhere in the "great firewall of China"

Yes, I still use the iPhone to control the trains. However it is only for manual control, like a remote for TV. I use software on the PC for full automatic control.

I am now also using the iPhone as a modem when travelling, to connect my laptop to the internet, using the internet tethering feature. It is really great, as I don't need another modem or even a USB dongle. I can connect the iPhone either through USB or Bluetooth for the tethering.

I also have an app for marine navigation, as well as one for driving navigation, tide charts, Chinese-English dictionary, and many more.....and of course, it is a video iPod as well!

So the answer is, yes, I love the iPhone.  :TUP:

Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on June 10, 2010, 11:33:06 AM
work!



I don't have huge savings, rich husband, rich relatives or other sources of income. My retirement will only come from my own investments. If I can't set aside enough money to support myself, I can not retire. So I am working towards a goal.
My retirement funds (like many people) are tied up in the stock market.  I have shares of stocks that are worth far less than they were. Same number of shares, but the value is way down for each share. That hurts me BADLY in the long term.  I will NEVER be able to reach the financial goal I was working towards. Money makes money. If you have 100 shares worth 100,000 and the market drops...you still have 100 shares but now they are worth only 50,000.  Even if the earning rates are the same, you can never make as much from the lower value.   :(  


Basic example: Compound interest 1 time each year
Assume
    earning rate is 4% every year,
    have 15 years till retirement,
    make $3600 additions at start end each year
-----------------------
Current Principal:  $ 100,000
Results =  Future Value: $ 255,062.66
-----------------------
Current Principal:  $ 50,000
Results =  Future Value: $ 165,015.49

In this scenario retirement funds are reduced by $90,000

The bigger the number the bigger the difference.

Sami, investment in the stock market is a long-term thing. Just sit tight and don't worry, your stocks will recover their previous value, maybe even exceed it. You have 15 years, lots can happen!  :)

I am sitting.  I am a long-term girl (as if you haven't noticed!   ;)).
Stock market has the most growth potential, and some risks can be avoided, but not all.
Even if they gain back to original value, that is not enough, by a long shot.  I NEED the growth
I have lost two things: the value of the stocks themselves AND the income/growth the original value would have given.  Even over the long haul, I will not recover that and can never reach the goal I had set for my own retirement funding.   :(

Ok guys...big news.
I ordered a new laptop today. It's purple. And a purple mouse too! :TUP:
Will get it towards the end of the month.

Should not spend the money and know I will regret it later even though I am getting 9 months 0% interest.  :verysad: 
But my desktop is nearing end of life for day to day use for me (getting cranky) and have been considering what I should do about it. I had planned to start looking at new systems back in January but it has not been good timing.
Well, I finally dove in for good or bad. Chose Win 7 premium with xp mode, cost more but hopefully it means I won't have to upgrade all my software at the same time!

I also got a new laptop. I really wanted another Sony but they are way too expensive. So I ended up with a Dell Vostro 13" which seems OK. It has 6Gb RAM, 500Gb hard drive, and runs very nicely. I am quite happy with Win 7 and all my regular programs run well.
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on June 14, 2010, 06:09:48 PM
glitz



I opted for a 15.6" dell, 500gb, 6gb ram, basic integrated sound, upgraded the video card a notch. Definitely NOT fancy or designed with "online gaming" in mind! The new unit will become my desktop replacement and don't expect that it will travel much since I will have my 2 old 17" monitors set up on it.

Will give away my tiny laptop with 40gb drive (only had 31 gb usable space). It runs like a charm thanks to expanded ram but it does not have enough space or speed to do anything I want to do at this point. A friend of my mother's needs something basic to get on web for email. PERFECT unit for that use. And she will like the silly games I have installed.  
:TUP:

Will get a "Thermaltake - SATA Hard Drive Docking Station with eSATA and USB Connection" station so I can take an old hard drive and use it for temporary file storage/work.  $55, I can use the new ESATA port on the laptop to expand, at HIGH SPEED 3Gbps file transfers!  Even comes with the cable! :boogie:

Quote
extravagance = excessive or unnecessary expenditure or outlay of money
:-[  Ya. That's exactly how I feel!  My desktop still works. Cranky but still works. I really should not take on debt to get it (even with 0% interest). Bad timing!!!  Besides, I feel a bit guilty making the decision to get another machine!  :-[  But then I think about:  it is 5.5 years old now, tired, have been babying it for a year now, how much I depend on it and worried what would happen if my system failed. Decided it is time.  

Quote
Not a geek? Just a Nerd...?  I doubt it!
No.  If I were a geek, I would have at MINIMUM gotten something from the XPS line from Dell, or perhaps the gaming/top line from Dell:  "AlienWare (http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/laptop-alienware-m17x/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-alienware-m17x&s=dhs&cs=19&~ck=mn)" or something better from another company for more speed, more sound, better graphics. I spent NERD money not GEEK money! The difference is often thousands $$$ more. The upgrades I chose were for work functionality. Since I buy a new computer every 5-6 years or so, I buy as much tech as I can afford so it can take me forward as far as possible.  Has been a good strategy for me. HATE upgrading computers. All the file moves, setting tweaks, program installs, you name it. It will take me a month or more to get comfortable with it.  And learning win 7 will be new too.   :yuck:

On the bright side, I should get more speed! My old reliable pc has days that it is just too full and I spend a lot of time pruning/clearing out files so it can speed up again.  (Why does windows need so much room to move around??)

Quote
Well, assuming you have the money!
That's just it. Financially, I doubt this is a good time for me to be buying anything more than lunch.  ;)  LOL
Can & will make the payments on this system.
Hate that I had to finance it. I do not have the ability to buy this unit with cash.
Our economy is not good. Not good at all. Lots of changes to credit rules! To jobs. A lot of people out of work.
Other factors not public...

So though I WANT this and would have gladly jumped at it a year ago, there are other issues that make me hesitate and get concerned.  
I do need a new unit. I know that.  :yes: And do not regret taking the plunge.

But the main thing I worried about:
I could not get a weaker unit and expect it to 1) run current programs, 2) grow/last 4-5 years 3) support my current hobbies/work.
But will I need to have all that going forward?
I don't know!  :unsure: :-\  
I expect there are changes coming to my future. How drastic I do not know yet. Think I am nearing a crossroads...decisions are hard to make because I can not accurately make projections for a year from now! A year ago I would not have hesitated. Would know EXACTLY what I needed. And bought with no concern.

But today I must ask: Will I still be doing the same things I am now?
Maybe I should have spent money on something else, better for my future?!?
.  :-\
Not knowing if I did right makes me feel a little guilty, a little worried.
Have not felt this way in 10 years!
 :-[ :unsure:

For better or worse, the decision was made and the unit purchased.  :yes:
And I will enjoy it I know!  :TUP:
Some features I am really looking forward to using.  :D

I will admit that computers/tech is my main vice.  :-[
I LOVE working and playing on a computer. Learning something new in photo program, etc is PLAY TIME even if done for work!

And I do get attached to my equipment, and miss it when I am away from it.  Addicted to it.
My computers become companions. I depend on them, I baby and fix them. They know all my faults and still let me play with them!  They teach me things. They help me meet people and stay in touch.
The computers become an extension of me not just generic out of the box piece of equipment when I am done tweaking programs and settings.
Feel terrible when I finally replace a computer. They are not tools for me. Feel like I am abandoning a pet. Someone that stood by me in the wee hours of the morning, on good days and bad days.  
I am being very silly right??  :P  
Making you laugh right?  That's ok
(I do not feel that way about cars, or other objects. I would trade my car every 6 months if I were rich!)

Tony, no offense taken. And did not think you were talking about me or the new pc. I knew you were playing on the game.  :TUP: I just thought I would comment on the word choice since it fit.
you are like me...hold off until you really NEED to replace your computer. When the time comes, you will find a way to buy something that fits. Some people buy a basic machine every 2 years, use & toss. I can't do that. Prefer to build up, hold on to it for years.

Check into "painter stilts". Strap on the legs to give a bit more height.
You may be able to RENT them.

OR build short scaffolding that would allow you to walk above the floor.
http://u.lasoo.com.au/Content/Images/UserStories/22764ef9-7dba-455a-b0db-da6530bdc6cd_1694955339.jpg
You can probably rent that too.

There are ladders that bend/fold to become scaffold. Like this one:
http://www.infolink.com.au/odin/images/197307/Spacepac-introduces-Heavy-Duty-Multi-Fold-Step-Ladder.jpg

Or this one that comes apart into 2 pieces and you can make it into a scaffold with a wooden board.
http://www.thelittleladderstore.com/TheLittleGiantLadderSystem.html
same ladder as a scaffold:
http://www.thelittleladderstore.com/LittleGiantLadderTelescopingScaffoldPlank.html
This type ladder is very practical for so many uses!  Might be the type thing you should have on your long-term project.

OR up and down ladders  :yuck:

OUCH!  I can not imagine drilling any part of my hand!  Keep that clean so it does not get infected!

I already have a scaffolding like http://u.lasoo.com.au/Content/Images/UserStories/22764ef9-7dba-455a-b0db-da6530bdc6cd_1694955339.jpg with anti-fall security bars and everything, but it only gives you a couple yards of reach, one way only, and then you have to reposition it, not to mention that it is also a sort of ladder but much more bulky...

Stilts are out of question, I saw them on YouTube, but... I also saw a wonderful and funny idea swapping around: one guy attached a pair of shoes to the bottom of two plastic 5 gallon empty paint pails, obviously up side down, and that's it!
Funny when you walk, like stilts, but much more stables, secure and easy to wear, just like putting on a pair of shoes. I'm now figuring out how to attach the shoes to the pails...  :whistling:

When I solo skydived a few times years ago, she hated that.

Thursday night my old computer got a nasty infection and I saw it happen! :ss-shocked:
  >:(  :banghead:  :repair:
I have dual monitors set up. On the primary monitor I had email open. On the secondary monitor, I had found an episode of the musical tv show I had not seen so I was streaming "GLEE" from a site I had not been to before.  About 20 minutes into the program, I started seeing command window prompts open on the primary window. In a matter of seconds, I had at LEAST 6 windows appear and drop their payload. In that few seconds, I watched my machine take hit after hit after hit. The first one took out my antivirus/firewall. The others were installing things.  I did a hard shut down of my computer and have spent about 16 total hours clearing the machine and get back to where I was.  Took several tools to get rid of the pieces of the yuck. The system is back to normal again!

Explain to someone in a canoe or on water skis, or to a family that lost a dog or child to one of them the local gators that it is not as dangerous as a croc!  When it's mating season, they will come INSIDE homes looking for a hookup!

"When it's mating season".... that should explain what "hookup" is.   >:D >:D
Alligator on the prowl during mating season could mean "Sexual encounter of the scariest kind"
Gators go a bit nuts in mating season. They break normal patterns, show up in pools, back yards, screen rooms, garages, even come in open doors.  They become AGGRESSIVE!

- from man in the moon to space station (saw the 1st walk on the moon live like everyone that could),
- saw typwriters become electric, with memories, then become obsolete as computers went from entire rooms to palm-sized,
- concerts from live stage, to live via sattelite (Elvis was first to do that) to Live Aid (world-wide event).  
all accomplished in 50 years!

I have several old cassettes and vinyls that are no longer available.  Will be using the laptop to record some of that material into digital format. I just loaded an old 1 hour VCR tape of a fireplace burning and took a series of 5 two minute tests, capturing the video.  The best quality took 438MB for only 2 minutes of capture!  To get the full 1 hour moved over would take 13+ GB of space!  WOW!   :ss-shocked:  I have used Roxio's software for years and the latest Creator 2010 has VERY basic video capture/editing.  (The Pro version has way too much in it for me!)

One project I have in mind before the end of the year:
Before the video deteriorates too much, I want to screen capture some individual shots off my old wedding video when I finally get to the back of the closet again. Certain people only appear in that video. They were not captured in any of the photos taken that day. I want to see if I can get good screen shots. I really want photos of them if I can.

It's seems that we all are in the same wave...
Washing dishes is the ONLY work that I don't do at home. Unfortunately, my wife used to go out to spend time with her family, usually for three months periods (once she stayed six...) and washing dishes was my ONLY regret.
You can't live only with paper or plastic dishes, it's a mess...  :verysad:

Rick, I was going to say the same thing!  Sometimes when it is brewing fresh, my mouth starts to water because it smells so good. And going past the coffee grinder/fresh beans smells so tasty to the nose. Comforting and rich.  Then you taste it with your mouth and the taste buds register it as burnt water!   :yuck:  :yuck:

Two days ago, I watched a documentary of a young Australian who died trying to cross, alone, from Australia to New Zealand in a kayak. His last desperate satellite phone contact asking for help was heard when he was a few miles from the finish. Only the empty kayak was found, inside, they found memory cards with all his videos taken by himself, day after day, where he regretted the stupidity in which he got in.
His body was never found. He left wife and one little son.

Tony, as a sea kayaker myself, I remember that tragedy well. While incredibly brave, he must have been aware that he took on a very high-risk task which had a high probability of tragic failure. I think such an act is extremely selfish, when there is a young family to consider.

We have a "dollar cinema" nearby.  Regular movies cost $7 to get in, plus popcorn and drink = $12/movie.  The "dollar cinema" is $1.75 to get in plus popcorn and drink = $5.75/movie.  When movies leave the regular theaters, they arrive at this old place and we go to see them at this place.  If you bring in a can of soda or bottle of water, you can go to the movie for $1.75 and I can't think of a cheaper/better night out these days!

Thanks for those OTR links Sami. I really enjoy Old Time Radio. It is especially good to listen when driving on long trips.

Do you know any way that multiple episodes can be downloaded, instead of doing one at a time?
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on September 28, 2010, 07:13:43 PM

Suspense!


Sure!
http://www.archive.org/details/oldtimeradio   search for a favorite show.  Like Suspense!.

http://www.archive.org/details/SUSPENSE
You will see there are 9 pages of files!  9 full cds worth.
On the left side of the page are different choices.  You can STREAM the files. Or download Zip files of the entire section.  The first zip file is 625MB.  :yes:
Hope you have good connection!
Some shows have mutiple choices for types of downloads along that left side.
Example:  http://www.archive.org/details/OTRR_Certified_Dragnet  has all the zip files along the left side and bottom of the description page.
Some of the archives are better than others, some have more documentation.  OTRR can be certified or verified series (most complete and accurate). But not all shows are in the OTRR archives.

For sites that do not have zips, like tennesseebills, I have used the DOWNTHEMALL addon for Firefox with excellent results.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201/
You connect to a page, it tells you which files are available for you, you can define that you only want zip or only want mp3, etc and manually choose only the ones you want or grab everything.
You can tell it to download one at a time or limit number of active files (I limit to 6 at a time so I don't hurt bandwidth, and my files come in at a good pace).
Free, no ad or spyware.  Very nice for this purpose.


So far, I have 91.5 GB of Old Time Radio Programs downloaded onto an external Free Agent Go drive.
Still gathering more.  I LOVE these on my mp3 player while driving, while shopping, relaxing.

Great! Thanks Sami, you have made my day! I have found episodes of some OTR that I have been looking for a long time! I have 200GB monthly download allowance, so no problems there.

I am off to China again on Sunday for 2 weeks, so I will have something to listen to in the plane - better than the boring movies! So I may not be online the next 2 weeks, unless I can find a friendly proxy server!

Good.  Glad you will have something new to listen too on your trip. Helps me to stay awake when I am driving.
When I was a kid we had old radio shows when we went to bed.. "Shadow", "Saint" "Whistler" "Creaking Door" "Witching Hour" and several others were played on the one american radio station playing in europe (AFRTS) in the evenings.  Great entertainment for kids in bed...sounds, close your eyes and listen letting imagination fill in the blanks. My mother used to read books to us with we were very young, and this story telling on the radio just continued the tradition.  I loved the voices of Vincent Price and Orson Welles. Still love rich voices! I got a ton of Welles files from a site that is now down. Am SO glad that I captured them before the site disappeared cause I don't know if it will ever be back.

Have a safe trip.  Enjoy!

It depends on who and how he speaks, but in any case, I never can understand the whole speech.
In the best case I can get more than 50% of the words and understand the entire idea of the matter, especially if I know what topic is being discussed, but in some cases... :-\  :-\   and not to mention the songs! Songs are completely another language for me!!

When I was young, I was often sent to the International School of the company in Dayton, Ohio, to take courses spoken in English and, surprisingly, I understand very well the classes, but did not understand the jokes told by the teacher.  :D :D

I've heard that sound... :ss-shocked:
some years ago, during political disorders in Venezuela, a F-16 flew +/- 300 meters over our building breaking the sound barrier. I was at the balcony just looking at the plane and in front of me was an entire glass windows building... You can't imagine what I heard/saw. None window was broke, but I saw the entire building trembling as a gelatin. Our first impression was that the F-16 had dropped a bomb...

Have heard sonic booms in Germany (military training on bases nearby). Have seen glass wobble because of it. Cool effect.

In the southeastern USA, someone got to experience sonic booms every time the space shuttle landed here in Florida. Depending on which direction they came from, either south, central or north florida would hear/feel it. And the sound could be heard as far away as Mississippi on some landing paths.  The closer to ground, the more the effect is FELT. Since I am in Orlando, when it would happen here, we got a good shaking.

 :offtopic:
I’ve always had a tremendous doubt about the sound barrier boom, may be you guys can explain it to me…
Say that a plane is flying over Mach 1 for a while at a relative low altitude. On ground, there are 100 witnesses separated one mile apart each other,  QUESTIONS: If the plane is already flying OVER the sound barrier (he already broke it time ago…) how many booms are there? each witness hear the SAME boom or are there one boom for each witness (this last is ridiculous, I know, but is just to explain my doubt…) WHY a boom heard by determinate witness is not heard by the witness ten miles away which, in turn, hears his OWN boom when the plane reaches him?   :unsure: :-\

Am I asking a stupidity bigger than a house?   :-[
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on October 04, 2010, 12:09:45 PM

SCORE!!


(http://www.samisite.com/external/breaking-the-sound-barrier.jpg)
The jet in this image is breaking the sound barrier.  SO COOL!
Breaking the sound barrier causes a SOUND and a VISUAL barrier too that lasts only an instant.
The plane pushes the air creating pressure waves that travel at the speed of sound.
Similar to a boat that creates waves as it moves through water.
As the plane approaches sound barrier, the air can not move out of the way quick enough.
The air is squashed together in one big cone shaped wave.
There are two booms produced: one at the nose, one at the tail.
Often it appears to be only one by observers because they happen so close together.

Info comes from this video with great pics:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d9A2oq1N38&feature=related

I would expect that as that sound wave is pushed along, people far away from the plane would hear it in different degrees. 
Like the wake of the boat, it is strongest closest to the boat and gets less as it travels.  Sound would be like that too right?

I always thought 'cell phone' was short for 'cellular phone' and that they were two words, but Dictionary.com list both 'cellphone' and 'cell phone'. I think they are grammatically incorrect.

E.g. 'motor car' is correct, not 'motorcar', or is there an American version?  :-\

You are correct Ed: cell phone is short for cellular phone, or I guess, more correctly, cellular telephone. But eventually some abbreviations come into common use, and become words in their own right, which overrides the correctness of grammar.

One abuse of words that I really object to is the way the word "read" is used these days. "Read" is a verb, such as to "read a book". But nowadays, it is also used as a noun: "that book is a good read!"  :yuck:

Anyhow, for this game, we don't get too fussed about grammar!   8)

I got the coolest electronic toy for my birthday:  
(http://www.samisite.com/external/purple_magic_wand.jpg)
a PURPLE hand-held scanner!  My old flatbed scanner/printer combo does not work well with win 7 so my mother bought me this.  Tested it yesterday and it does terrific job. uses micro SD card. I have a card reader in my computer so I don't even need to use the cord to connect the scanner to the computer!  Uses AA batteries for hundreds of scans!  
Now I can carry my scanner with me!

Nice toy Sami.
You must have a steady hand to use it? or it is tolerable to erratic movements...
How dip can it scan, is it capable to scan a human face, for example?
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on November 03, 2010, 01:42:34 PM
 ??? :-\

Don't understand your word...dic.com did not have it either.

This is NOT a camera.  It is a scanner so no, no faces.
My version sold out the same day as offered (for win 7, up to 32GB card supported, lots of software which I will not install since I have my own OCR software installed)
I have the hard case too. The bundle I got has scanner, cable, 2 cd's of software, 2 energizer batteries, SDmicro 4GB card and adapter to SD size. Everything you need for $89.  We added hard case for $20.

Cool videos:  
This is the one I got!   World launch.

These are videos of earlier versions offered by HSN.com  but same basic features/functions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7wa7KpyqhM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y85l5D7Y66E&feature=channel

REVIEW by ASE:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ5v5ODg9Lw&feature=related

Can scan up to 4 foot long.  Great for receipts, etc. portable, and works with this new laptop which is most important.
And BEST of all, I do not have to use a CABLE!  I can but I do not have to use it to move images to my computer!
Just take the storage card out, put it into the adapter (provided in this bundle) and put it in my card reader!
Transfer JPG images from that card to my laptop or any computer. DONE.

favelas = a shantytown in or near a city, esp. in Brazil; slum area (from dictionary.com)


(N.T. not only in Brazil, but in the whole south America...)


Most of these precarious shanties are made with tin and cardboard...  :(
In Venezuela are called "ranchos"

Here, some examples of "favelas":

Many of those families are not poor... it is just a convenient way of life.
Living in those ghettos implies paying no services, land, light (they take it from urban posts), home taxes, etc. Can build wherever they want just taking possession of the space, and the best is that the authorities can do nothing (don't even try to...)

Send up a prayer, say good things.  I NEED him now more than ever and can not handle losing him yet! (8yrs old)

Happy birthday Sami  :flowers: A bit late but better late than never.

Good pics Tony! I've been on a tour in Rio De Janeiro that takes one to visit the favelas there. They showed us the inside of some of the shacks which had more comforts, electronics, and luxury than imaginable. Of course that is the minority. There is a system of chaotic control where landless "landlords" rent out stolen electricity, water, sewers, etc. The police can't do anything because the problem is too big for the municipal budget who prefer to write off the losses. It's been like that for decades in Brazil. It's the children who suffer the most as they don't get proper education. Very sad.

SOS

Abbreviation for Save Our Souls and denoted by 3 dots, 3 dashes, and 3 dots in Morse Code, something seldom used now-days.

Yup! F1 (Formula One) is a monopoly owned by Bernie Ecclestone through his part-ownership of Alpha Prema, the parent company of the Formula One Group of companies. As such, he is generally considered the primary authority in Formula One racing. He is most commonly addressed in tabloid journalism as "F1 Supremo". As a team owner he became a member of the Formula One Constructors Association. His control of the sport, which grew from his pioneering the sale of television rights in the late 1970s, is chiefly financial, but under the terms of the Concorde Agreement he and his companies also manage the administration, setup and logistics of each Formula One Grand Prix. He is a controversial character who some blame for the extremely difficult barriers of entry in the sport. He is also the co-owner of Queens Park Rangers Football Club.

A cruel race for horses, as my point of view.   :(  Quote Wikipedia:
"For several years, the  is the focus of numerous protests by animal rights organizations, including the Anti-Vivisection League, which includes primarily race incidents causing falls, which in some cases led to the death of the horse.

The results of calculations on the percentage of accidents caused by  vary depending on who makes them. The data that provides Anti-Vivisection League said that from 1970 to 2007 a total of 48 horses have died [7], 50% of fatal accidents per year, whereas those injured or killed during the race and then away from the cameras, both died during surgery. However, the calculations carried out by supporters of the  gives a rate of 2.05%[8] of fatal accidents per ride, because of battery selection, testing and prizes if they play no less than ten per issue."

Ed, your contribution of "classical" put me in mind of the classical "era" in music, which was from around 1750 - 1820. This made me think of eras in general. So I switched to a different kind of era. The geological eras in the development of the earth, such as the Cenozoic Era, Mesozoic Era, Paleozoic Era, and so on.

The Florida water table is dropping drastically.  No rain for so long.  Our ponds and retention lakes are drying up.
We are allowed to water lawns one day per week (assigned by area) and for only a limited period on that day.
When it finally does rain again, the ground will not absorb the water, it will just run right off!

25 days of special prices.  The special prices hold until Dec 24
Yesterday they listed DEXTER season 2 (which I have not seen) for $9.99 USD for the entire season (12 episodes!)  
I had a coupon for a $5 credit on any Video on Demand purchase that I needed to use before it expired (have had it for a while). Really tickled that I got the whole season for $4.99!  And I can rewatch these anytime I want from any pc that has internet connection! Very cool.
Still have a couple other coupons to apply before year-end.

I have Dexter 2.4 running in a small window beside this one...His thoughts are so fun to hear...
He is meeting his girlfriend's mother as I type this:  LOL
"I have always been good with parents.  The key is to simply think of them as Aliens from a distant universe.  You have fibers and threads unknown to us. Your ancient customs intrigue me. "  LOL

Have seen season 1 and 3 (thanks to free showtime/showtime on demand for a month).  I bought season 2 and am CONSIDERING whether or not I should spend $18.99 to get season 4... Not a wise decision these days but am SO tempted since I really like John Lithgow.  
Season 5 will be offered several months from now...have to wait for that but at least I know where I can get it eventually.
Is season 5 GOOD?  (I am a bit jealous!)
Title: Re: Word Association Game

Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on December 10, 2010, 06:01:05 PM
SHOCKING!   :ss-shocked:

I have not read anything about the shows or reviews. Have been very careful to not know about story lines.
Season 3 was a pleasant surprise...didn't know Jimmy Smits would be in that season.  
When I heard that John Lithgow was going to be in season 4 I got excited but would not allow myself to read any plots, story lines or reviews or to see any pictures.  I am patient and would rather not spoil anything by reading about it in advance. Makes the viewing of the episodes equal to watching them 1st run, at the same time as other people.  :TUP:

I don't like the opening credits though!  They overlap his morning breakfast with blood splatters making it look like he is a cannible. Misleading!  He's actually very moral in the way he uses his "dark passenger" to rid the world of bad people.

So...is season 5 is as good as season 4?  (you already said in another post that you liked it...)  I hope that neither 4 or 5 are like the Dexter BOOKS.  They start the same as first book, then Season 2 and 3 are totally different than the books. In the books, the kids have dark passengers and want Dexter to teach them... DO NOT CONFIRM OR DENY the story lines....

Ya. But sometimes it is is a flashback, or imagination.  Dexter has many of those. Someone that is dead speaks in a later episode.
I am beginning to wonder if Dexter is Harry's biological child not just adopted...
Season 2 was good. Good writing. Even though the program is about a serial killer, there really isn't as much blood or gore as many popular movies.

Lake Eyre is dry most of the time, and surrounded by desert. But due to lots of rain in Australia lately, Lake Eyre now has water in it for the first time in more than 10 years. I am hoping it will still have water in April. We are starting our next 4WD trip then, and will pass by Lake Eyre. We are planning to be away on that trip for between 3 and 6 months.


Jane Eyre is a famous and influential novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published in London, England in 1847.

I have seen this show in person twice. Both times the man in the red ribbons flies so beautifully!
Would gladly see it again if I could.  The theater is intimate, you feel a part of the performance because things are happening above you, around you, and there is no space between the stage and the audience.  The first time he swooped out over the audience, he went above my head!  He was so beautiful, all warm muscles! Yet still SO calm, peaceful looking.  Made it look so natural, like everyone should be able to do it.  Angelic!  Breathtaking!

I will forever be greatful that I found a piece of software on my machine that took me to the Trellix Cafe (original T/CSB forum) for help.
Through that connection, I have had such lovely positive exchanges.

Happy New Year everyone.

(Thanks for posting the link to your card Tony.  Almost missed it under those distracting pictures.   rofl  I bolded the link)

thump!  thump!  thump!  thump!  thump!  ... so was my heart watching Dexter 5 ep. 10 !!!
Not recommended for heart weaker
I finished with season 5. It was the best!!

BTW,  Dexter Season 6 Becomes Official:

"According to Showtime’s Dark Passenger Blog, Showtime announced today that Dexter will be back for a sixth season! Season five has proven to be the highest rated season and as the popularity rises, the seasons continue. In fact, the ratings on November 28 were 43% higher than the September 26 premiere. Just in time for the conclusion of season 5, we are honored with the news that DexterSeason6.com will become entirely relevant as we continue to follow one of the most popular shows in America. Thanks for your continued support, and stay tuned for more news ..."

Sorry about that, as you could notice, I'm a Dexter fan... :-\

I have been a Dexter fan til I watched that last episode in season 4 and first episode in season 5.  They are so brutal and shocking.
I cried at those episodes and felt so bad about the character that I am not sure I can watch rest of season 5, let alone 6.
What makes the show special is the idea that he tempers his "needs" with socially acceptable behavior.  Only killing people that "deserve" it. Does he go back to that behavior? Or does he just become a regular serial killer?  Should I watch more than the first episode of season 5?

After telling me about the program for months, my brother had me watch an episode from the first season.  It was fascinating. You are inside a serial killer's mind...his thoughts, motivations.  Yet the whole time, he is being reined in by his father's teachings (he was a cop and KNEW that Dexter would be a serial killer so taught him "right?" from wrong. ...sorta.  Seasons 1 - 4 are progression that is logical and growth of the "human" side of Dexter.  But the "dark passenger" is more evident at the end of season 4.
Though it deals with killings, it is far less graphic than movies like Saw, Texas Chainsaw massacre and their type!
Each season ramps up as the show progresses, building to .....something that is breathtaking.
I am DEBATING whether I should watch season 5...
DO NOT jump into season 3+ without the earlier episodes. You NEED the progression of the character for fullest effect...

Rick, if you like this genre of films, you MUST see it. Just one advice: see it from the beginning.
I missed almost the first series because I was influenced by a doubtful role of Michael C. Hall (Dexter) in another show: Six feet Under


Sami, don't miss it !

Rick....Old Time Radio Note:  Good forum/reference: http://timespast.ning.com/  and they have gathered HUNDREDS of downloadable series offered for free here:   http://otrarchive.blogspot.com/   (used to be part of the calfkiller otr archives)  Some really interesting discussions on that forum.

Tony, That Old Time Radio site even has old TV clips, discussions too.
I will listen to you and see one more episode of Dexter season 5 before I consider dropping/continuing with the season... WHEN it becomes available again. The site I found it on now links to subscription site only for users of a particular ISP!   >:(  So I will have to wait for it to come to something I can see... And I agree that seeing Dexter in order is BEST.

bulk

Actually Tony, I tend to shop more like a man than a woman.  
Do my research (read, check ads, check reviews, test) then go buy it.  Tend to spend very little time in stores.  I RARELY wander the malls (multiple stores under one roof, store entrances are inside building) or the shopping plazas (multiple stores, connected, but usually have separate exterior entrances).  I tend to need shoes, go get shoes.  Need ____ and go get it.  USUALLY.  Sometimes I go in for a specific thing and something catches my eye but that is not the norm.
The EXCEPTIONS:  Home repair stores like Home Depot and Office/computer supply stores like Office Depot/Best Buy.  I can be lost in those stores for hours playing with things, getting ideas...But again, that is generally considered more male than female shopping.  Or so I have been told MANY TIMES.

We also have BULK discount stores like SAM's CLUB and COSTCO, etc that require you to pay an annual membership to get the discounted merchandise that is often sold in HUGE quantities (36 rolls of toilet paper, 500 paper plates, 24 chicken breasts, etc).  Great way to save money for families. Not practical for me for most things...

I have jumped SOLO a few times and rode hot air balloon once.  HATED hot air balloon ride. LOVED jumping.  Jumps were quiet & peaceful.  Like being held by the hand of God while drifting downward.  The balloon was loud and hot when they had to shoot flame! Felt more secure in parachute harness than basket too.  Would recommend it.  Very glad I did it!!!

Sami, I admire your courage. I have never jumped solo, only tandem. Actually, tandem has the advantage that you don't have much to worry about, just enjoy the dive, and let the expert do all the technical stuff!

But I did go flying with my son recently (maybe I told you already), in a very small ultralight aircraft, for 6 hours! It was great fun, but we didn't have much room!

When I jumped, they did not offer tandem. Took a class, practiced landing by jumping off furniture with other friends that had already jumped. Then went up in gutted cesna.  Hardest part was notclimbing out of plane. It was standing on the strut and letting go when the jumpmaster slapped my leg!  Took 3 slaps before I finally did my back bend. Not brave...pretty stupid actually...tried to get rid of fear of falling.  Did't work. But liked it so much I had to go back for more!  Those flying suits are fantastic.  I like to fly, but not in helicopters. Would imagine your flight in ultralight would be similar to that...better you than me!

out

Yes, certainly, in the sea water...love it! Today was 35 degrees in Sydney!

Today I am a very relieved man! A huge tropical cyclone, the biggest ever in living memory, hundreds of kilometres wide, and the strongest category 5, has been approaching the north-east coast of Australia for several days. It has very destructive 300km/h winds, and a storm surge (like tidal wave) which could lift the sea level up to 7 metres above the normal tide level. It will cross the coast tonight, probably causing huge damage. It was predicted to cross the coast right on the island where I keep my boat! But over the last several days, it has moved a little to the north, so we are just on the edge of it, right now! We will still get very srong gale force winds, but hopefully, not destructive winds. More tomorrow.

Remember Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady"?

Good news today! That cyclone moved enough to the north, that only its outer edge touched the island where my boat is. So although they had strong gale force winds at the island, they were not destructive winds. My friends have checked everything this morning, and seems there was no damage to my boat. Unfortunately, the folks further north copped it, but thanks to modern weather forcasting, there was several days notice, so most people evacuated the danger areas, and there were no reports of deaths.

Modified rules... peacock, cocktail and such will now work.... while the base word is blocked.... :TUP: 
Added variations of words then added the option to match whole word now.
This is tricky because if someone uses a form of the word that I have not blocked, it will now show.  Before if the word was contained in another form part of the word was blocked, showing only non-objectionable part:  ex: xxxxs became s, xxxxtail became tail.  Now I will have to have xxxx, xxxxs, and any other form that is rude specifically in the list....

I'm glad you did not loose important things Tony. 'Boudoir' is French for a room between the dining room and the bedroom, but it is commonly known as the rest room where ladies of the 18th century went to powder their noses or lie down temporarily. Boudoir is also used in English to describe this room, but it would be translated as a gap or empty space when not referring to that room.

The old house we lived in many years ago had a "powder room" boudoir off the dining area.  Long thin room with Mirrored counter and chaise lounge, leading to a tiny bathroom.

Tony, did you get your DVD yet?

Oh! Yes, you did have an explosion! If it were me, I would reinstall a clean Windows, and then only install what you really need from the "myriad" of programs. Take the opportunity to give your PC a new start, don't just reinstall all the old stuff! It is the chance to get rid of all the crud that builds up. And your PC will run faster again!

It is really good timing that you did the Comodo backup so recently. How you are able to use that backup depends how you configured it. Maybe you can boot with it, or maybe you will just be able to retrieve your importand data, to put back in the new installation.

Some voice over. Mostly music.  Even without sound, images are fascinating.  SO MUCH SAND in every direction.

I can go back through the video and make a few "cliff notes" (abbreivated notes for times on the video) and send it to you.  Could glance at it while watching disk in a different window...

Btw, voice over informs that the water hole is found WITHOUT maps, gps, etc.  When you see the tiny water hole in the middle of nowhere, it is amazing that they find it. No strong landmarks or path to it. Yet the very experienced guide finds the hole!  If you did not understand any of the words for the rest, you will still get the images of the trek which is quite interesting alone.  Nice production values, good narrator too.

I have tried several of the translation services, mainly for Chinese, but now stick with Google. Usually I get the translation, and then retranslate it back to English, to see what it really says. Sometimes big surprise!. Anyway, I have found that doing this several times, making modifications to the grammer, finally gets an accurate translation.

Sometimes we have a 2 post response, sometimes several fit together in longer strings.
Not Chess > Musical > Chair
This time it is only a 2-post combination.   Chess > Musical, Musical > Chair
In this case, Chair is not related to Chess.  

Chess is a musical.  Famous song is "one night in Bangkok"
Musical  Chairs is a childs party game (some adults do it too :v8slap:).

I love some of the definitions of boot!

boot: an instrument of torture for the leg, consisting of a kind of vise extending from the knee to the ankle, tightened around the leg by means of screws.

boot: British - the trunk of an automobile.

That's a joke! Of course, British is the correct English, so instead, the definition of trunk should be:

trunk: American term for the boot of an automobile

Vintage Clothes?  A woman's concept.  MANY people will pay huge $$$ for vintage clothing (40's, 50's 60's, 70's...) made by top designers of the period. They are considered classics and are chic to mix with current fashion elements.  There are a couple TV programs ("real" people) that feature women that spend thousands of dollars on their vintage clothes collections as wearable art/investments!  Lots of shops specialize in this.

Of course, you can do anything you like, but that will not make it correct! And if you use an American dictionary, you can't expect to have correct English definitions.

But if you use a more definitive, authoritative English dictionary, such as the Oxford dictionary, you will have a correct result:

boot: a space in the back of a car for carrying luggage.

trunk: N. Amer. the boot of a car

Since the Online version of the Oxford English Dictionary is not available without a PAID subscription, I will not consider them to be a definitive answer for anything at this point. I refuse to pay to do basic research, even if the resource is well known and dependable.

Sami, you are trying to sidetrack the discussion!  :) Whether a dictionary is online or not, free or not, is totally irrelevant! We are talking about whether a dictionary is a credible reference of the correct English language. The Oxford English Dictionary is THE definitive reference on correct English.

The American Websters Dictionary, and certainly not free online dictionaries, can not come anywhere near to having the respect or credibility of the Oxford Dictionary, when it comes to correct English language reference.

The Oxford English Dictionary is THE definitive reference on correct English.

Part of North America and the whole Central and South America, Spanish language, except for Brazil and other small ex-colonial states, is spoken by millions of citizens from different countries, but the point of reference for the correct use of the language is based and ruled by the Diccionario de La Real Academia Española (Spain, Europe) :)

I do not want British definitions.  I want American English definitions.
The language that I speak and read is American English.
    - the storage area in a vehicle a TRUNK not a boot.  If I told my neighbor to get something out of the BOOT I would get strange looks!
    - An apartment is not a flat where I live.
    - When movies are dubbed into ENGLISH, more use the AMERICAN English, not British.
    - When books are translated into ENGLISH, more use the AMERICAN English.
Though the British Empire spread the British version of English world-wide, the American version has been thriving!
I grew up in Germany. I went to a german school for a while. They were teaching American English in the German school system. Obviously closer physically to the British Isles, yet they were teaching AMERICAN English...And American English is now spoken by the majority of young adults in Germany when we went back to visit!

We live on opposite sides of the world. Aussie's speak English but it is also not a pure British English.  Closer yes, but it is also moving away from the British English.  :)

Hey Tony...I notice that the Puerto Rican Spanish is not necessarily standard either.  Seems when populations move away from the source, they develop thier own version of th elanguage.

It's not like you think, Rick... is an old 95' Alfa  :-[

Sorry if I extend on this topic, but did you know that NOBODY wants MY car? even given as a present? for nothing?
The maintenance is very expensive, not to mention that gasoline costs € 1.50 x liter. This vehicle makes 10 kilometres per liter. I'm about to get rid of the car, and have to pay the junk yard to get out of it.

By the time my isp work crew got here, the cable was working again...nothing to trace or fix....again.

Made arrangements to switch internet to different service, from a cable connection to a fiberoptic connection/dsl.
Since the phone lines in this area are stronger/better/more consistent than the cable lines, I should have better connections while I am here.
Will be up and running on it April 12th... :luck:

ya... but as usual, it will have to wait. the company I made arrangements with contacted me that the service needs certain requirements, some of which would require upgrading somethings in my little old house. The service would also cause havoc with my alarm system without professional intervention so I have cancelled the service.  Since I will not be staying here, I will give up my search for decent connection and will have to live with the current situation till I am resettled...At least I was able to get internet functioning fully on my mother's property...had service replaced and cat5 cable run from one end of house to other so I could get connected fully when there...50% of my time these days....will be 100% fairly soon...

THAT is my question!  I have to take the phone back to Sprint today!  Something is definitely wrong with it. 
Too long to charge (on usb trickle from laptop), and when it gets to 1/2 full, it says DONE unplug me.
And when 1/2 charged or less, emails will not send/receive!
Woke up yesterday to a phone that said no emails.
When I got a connection to web, I found 7 emails waiting.
 :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:  technology used to be my friend. now it is my main headache... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I know ISP will not fix issue in this area and must workaround when service drops out. I am leaving so have to deal with it till I am gone.
Tethering from phone is my backup....IF the phone will cooperate!

Email and other message notifications coming in normally now it seems.   :luck: :luck:

retirement  :D

Hey everyone, tomorrow I am off for a 3 to 4 month 4WD trip around Australia. However I will have my laptop with me, so I should still be able to get online most days, except when in remote areas without 3G cellphone signal.

I will be going to quite isolated areas at times. The scenery in some of those places is spectacular, particularly the far-north-western area known as the Kimberley. 4WD is essential to get to the best places. I have an off-road caravan (or trailer).

I use the 3G cellphone network for internet access, tethering the iPhone to my laptop. I tether the iPhone to the laptop either by USB, or by setting up my iPhone as a wifi hotspot, when my wife also wants internet on her laptop at the same time. My iPhone 3S does not have native support for wifi hotspot, nor does Apple support it on the 3S, so I had to "jailbreak" it to add the app for that. It works well, however is heavy on the battery, so better to be plugged into a power source at that time.

Rick

Have a great trip! Sounds like the trip of a lifetime but you seem to have several of those.  :D 
Lots of photos. (Digital cameras save so much money!  Used to drag a huge 35mm camera and spend $$$$$$$$$$$ on film)
Will have to look up your location to read up...

I could have wifi hotspot on my phone and native tether for $30 extra each month through phone company.  :ss-shocked: :v8slap:  >:( :nofinger:
I do not have that service activated in the phone. 
I use PDANET for free tethering instead. No jailbreak or root access necessary on Android phone. No program including PDANET can give me free wifi hotspot, even if rooted.

Tony, I guess it depends what kind of environment you like. For example, Denmark is totally different to Australia, even though both are desirable countries to live. Denmark is completely flat, with a beautiful capital city, lots of quaint rural areas, and mostly socialist/democratic political system. Australia has a varied and beautiful geographical environment, boring capital city, low population density, and stable political environment. You can do this kind of analysis for all the countries you mentioned. It all depends what kind of lifestyle you like.

Lots of fishing here!  :)

migration



Unfortunately, I neither have the means nor the age to change country again...
The only option I have is to return to my beloved adoptive country.

Mother land is not where you were born, but where you grow, where you go to school to learn her history, where you fall in love for the first time, where you have your children, where you fight and work for her...

But it is not easy to come back...
After living in a peaceful country place like the one which I’m living now, it is unthinkable to even try to go back to live in an anarchic and chaotic city; but your homeland still calling you, day after day.


Some time ago, I watched a TV Discovery documentary about a native of South Africa, don’t remember from where, that reached UK as many refugees do today. Well, this man worked hard for years and could get a house, a wife and a son, in other words, he was living with a family and all the comforts of a Western home, with a job, a car...

When his son was 7, he took him to his home-town in Africa, a village of a few small mud huts that, to make it short, you can imagine how it was.  The real purpose of this man was to show his son were he was born (laudable action) and to see if the boy liked the place to take his family back to live there and make his son grow where he was grown…  Don’t you call this love for your homeland?





The boy didn’t accept….  :noshake:

immigration


I was born in USA, grew up in Germany and returned to USA.
Part of my heart and mind are still in Germany.  :yes:
I went to a german school, lived in german town and played with other children of different nationalities that lived in our little town.
My view of the world and the USA place in it is so different than my american peers due to my early years.
When we went back to Germany a few years ago, it was first time in 30 years yet I felt at home.  Even the language started to come back.
Am sure if I stayed for longer I would have fit in just fine.
So I understand how someone could be drawn to a country and peoples.

I love those vintage films-reports when The Big Apple was assaulted by thousands of immigrants arriving through the Port of New York at Ellis Island. I can see my father and his friends that took that adventure, escaping from the misery to a new world. He left three years before us (my mother and brother, I was 2 yo). My first new pair of pants and new shirt were sent by him a couple years after his departure. I still having a photo posing with my brother wearing that clothes.

discovery

Yesterday was a discovery day. We went to a beautiful place called Palm Valley in the Finke Gorge National Park, really in the geographical centre of Australia. You get to Palm Valley by a long, severe 4WD-only track crossing a river many times - sometimes through water and other times sand or up over rocks - bouncy and tough and other times up the river bed. The reward at the end was Palm Valley, the only place in the world where these particular palms - the red Cabbage Tree Palm grow. It is beautiful! We walked up the valley floor then climbed the escarpment and returned along the plateau overlooking the valley - beautiful and special because these palms only grow in this small valley.

my black snakes:  http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herpetology/fl-guide/Colubercpriapus.htm
the first time I saw one, it was wrapped around my azalea bush like a rope, about 3 foot above ground.  I thought it was a rope, reached in to get it out of the bush and it moved! Needless to say, I let it be.  A neighbor on the street had one that would take an evening swim in his pool.  CREEPY.  They can eat small moles and mice/young rats too so they are often tolerated by people, especially since they live OUTSIDE and do not usually try to enter homes.

During a friends racing, driving a modified Ford Falcon, my first car (we called them "poisoned" cars),  in a unexpected 90° turn, I was violently thrown against the passenger door (wearing no seat belt, at that time there was only one long front seat). Fortunately, from that position I could grasp the wheel and turned it to avoid a light post where I was direct to... No damages, no injuries... the car stopped after two spins with me as a passenger and no driver...  :ss-shocked:  :v8slap:

Sorry Sami, I didn't know you had posted it.

Kind of confusing for a person with a lack of English like me, well it's is only true that I gave it just a glance...
I will read it again in detail and let you know.
Thanks.

I'm preparing for a trip out to South America on June 22 til July 17. Hope to find a way to be in touch, I don't have anything portable... :(

I will probably not be online the next 2 weeks. Today we head into a very remote area which most likely will not have any internet service. We are going along a famous track, the "Gibb River Road". This is a rough track around 600km long, with many creeks and rivers to drive through. We are going to spend the 2 weeks travelling that 600km. There are numerous beautiful gorges and other amazing natural features.

Yesterday we flew by small plane into an incredible area called the Bungle Bungles, and hiked to 2 gorges there. Absolutely amazing! I don't have time now to post any photos, but I am sure you can find it on Google (it is in Purnululu National Park). It is one of the most amazing natural landscapes in the world.

See you in about 2 weeks.

Did you ever watch the British TV comedy 'Allo 'Allo? One of the funniest episodes was "The Long Distance Duck"!

Ed: a progressive barn dance is where the dancers, together with their partners, form a circle around the room, and you change partners after each completed section of the dance (a section lasts around 1 minute). It is a good way to meet lots of new girls! If you find someone who really "clicks", you can quietly slip out of the progressive dance, and dance with her alone.  >:D

Tony: a carillon could be called a music machine, but it usually refers to something which is mechanically operated, such as the hand-crank organ which Sami mentioned. Often the street operators of these organs had a monkey on their shoulder!  8)

The size of the section for each post is being held taller by all they stuff on the left side of the post.
Rick, your avatar is taller, and your "follow me..." takes up two lines expanding the size of the left side of every post you make.

I have smaller size on the left and 3 lines of text in the signature.  You have taller left side and shorter signature so you will get more spacing in the post area. 
Shorten left side and see it shrink...

(Don't get me started on juries today!  I am disgusted with the CA jury....I have great respect for the judge but not that jury!)

There is no option to force the signature to the bottom.
But I did adjust the SIZE of the signature. It was unlimited and would 'float'.  Now it can only be 3 lines high. 
That should fix it to the same height for everyone and be consistent. And that might have the effect you intend.
The left side could be made smaller if I get rid of things like avatars, take off titles, etc. I don't want to do that.  I even miss your "follow me.." in your sidebar.   :D

There are annual wedding dress sales in some cities that have stampede of women to get the SALE.  Sometimes they get hurt in the crush of the mob, but they think it is worth it.  Crazy!

In Florida they changed the law so now you can not have a "going out of business sale" unless you are REALLY going out of business.

Cozy camper for a 3 month trip...

That camper is designed for rough, off-road conditions. It took the conditions well, including river and creek crossings, with only a few minor repairs needed along the way.

Discovering that pond (we call it a "billabong"), was one of the highlights of the trip. It was teeming with many types of birds and other wildlife, including crocodiles.

Maybe you already know about this, but I discovered a great resource for simply making flash slideshows. You make the slideshow online, and then download the swf file and html code. It has lots of flexibility for adjusting the size, background, etc

It is called Frobee Slideshow Maker: h**p://www.frobee.com/slideshow-maker/

Tony, here is part of what I read about the history of Caracas:

During the 17th century, the coast of Venezuela was frequently raided by pirates. With the coastal mountains as a barrier, Caracas was relatively immune to such attacks – one of the reasons it became the principal city of the region. However, in the 1680s, buccaneers crossed the mountains through a little-used pass while the town's defenders were guarding the more often-used one, and, encountering little resistance, sacked and set fire to the town.

Your image is powerful. Not sure what you mean about your government.
But I do know MY government is so tied up with party lines instead of working together to get our economy stronger! Put people to work here. Strengthen businesses by keeping jobs in this country instead of giving incentives for outsourcing our jobs to other countries!  Our $ has been down-graded, our credit has been too.  And our law makers treat this all as a fight across the aisle... them against us. We do not have a government by the people for the people. We have a government by the special interests, for the special interests!    :whip: :whip:

Here are some thoughts that I agree 100% with...

"politicians of the Left say that those of the Right are dangerous for our country, those of the Right in turn say the same thing about their colleagues of the Left. I would simply put forward the idea that perhaps both are dangerous"
- Carl William Brown

"politicians are just the bankers' waiters"
 - Ezra Pound

"politicians speak for their parties, and parties never are, never have been, and never will be wrong"
- Walter Dwight

"politics: a conflict of interests masquerading as a contest of principles"
- Ambrose Bierce

"politics and mafia are both powers that draw life from controlling the same territory, so they either wage war or come to some form of agreement"
- Paolo Borsellino

"politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies"

Thanks for the link, Tony. Actually I don't like the Uluru rock so much. I think it is over-rated. There are many much more spectacular scenery in Australia. Also, it has been hijacked by the local Aborigines as a "sacred site", and you are not even allowed to take photos when walking around it, in case you upset their ancestors.

Spent many hours in the back of taxi when visiting Washington DC. Nice lady driver took 2 young girls around to see the sights and waited for us. Didn't charge us (off duty). She wanted us to be safe on our touring, afraid we would get in trouble.

I have not been able to see a full episode of the show without hanging up, and sometimes it goes well for a week or two without problems.  ???

I had a bad NVidia card that was incompatible with PcAnywhere a while back. It used to cause my system to "blink". Temporary freezes, take screen to black, then come back like nothing happened.

Drove me nuts till I uninstalled all remote connection software, reseated the graphics card, updated graphic driver then reinstalled remote software again. Finally fixed issue.

Yes, Tony. $2 a month for use of the proxy server, up to 1GB download. It is only for routing your internet traffic through the proxy, you still need an internet service (ISP). I am using the hotel's internet, which is mostly free in China. But I think the proxy cost of $2 per month is very reasonable.

However I have found some difficulties using it. It does not work well with IE, need to use FF.

Unfortunately, the cane toads are becoming a very big problem. They were originally imported to Australia as a solution to beetles which were eating the sugar cane. Now the toads are a much bigger problem. They eat everything, and are spreading far west and south from where they were initially installed. They are very ugly, and so far have resisted all attempts to eradicate them. There are now "toad vigilante" groups, trying to catch them and prevent them moving into environmentally sensitive areas.

We have those same nasty things in this state too.  The tadpoles are poisonous and are detrimental to our ecosystem.  We have large sugarcane plantations in the southern part of Florida. And they were released here for the same reason as in Australia, pest control!     DUH!  :v8slap:     It is really bad behavior to release animals or plants from other places into non-native environments. Can change ecosystem balance forever. 

Our state tells people how to kill them..... read here:  http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/uw046   
Quote
It is tough to get rid of Marine toads once they are in the area. Most importantly, be sure there is no pet food left outside in the area (they will eat dog and cat food and are attracted to pet food bowls). To exclude toads from part, or all, of your yard, try installing short fencing. The fencing should be at least 2 feet high and be buried at least 1 foot down in the ground (add, or bend, a lip on the bottom of the fence so it is harder for toads to burrow under it). This can be effective, but is not guaranteed!
-------
Here is a humane method of euthanasia for amphibians (recommended by a veterinarian): Purchase a small tube of benzocaine ointment (used as a pain-killer for toothaches and teething). There are several well-advertised brands as well as much less expensive store brands (generic brands). Simply take a strip of ointment about 1 inch long (more for very large toads) and spread it down the midline of the neck and back of the toad. In 5-10 minutes the toad will be groggy; in 15-20 minutes it should be unconscious, and in about 30-40 minutes it will be close to dead or dead. At this point, put the frog in a plastic container or plastic bag and freeze it for 3 days. Why? Because we want to ensure that the toad dies humanely -- we don't want a heavily drugged toad to be buried and later wake up 2 feet underground. So, after 3 days, dispose of the toad carcass by either burying it deep enough so that a pet or wild animal will not dig it up, or by placing it in a plastic bag and putting it in the trash.

Freezing is a humane way to kill toads and frogs because their bodies go into a state of torpor (metabolism slows down) -- just as they do in cold weather outside. If the cold weather is short in duration, the toads will come out of their torpor state. However, after an extended time in freezing temperatures, the toads die.

It's OK Rick  :D, just think how would you feel after 11 years away from your homeland, where you grew up and left behind an important part of your family and friends ...

I understand now more than ever that "home is not where you are born but where you ..."


Home is where your memories are,
It’s where your secrets are kept.
Home is where you’re happiest,
Yet home is where you’ve wept.

Home is where your parents live,
It’s where you were raised.
Home is where you’ve been scolded most,
Yet home is where you’re praised.

Home is where you make it,
It’s where you believe the myth,
That home is when you’re happy,
Just to love the ones you’re with.
 
Eric Brock



Home a place of comfort
Home a place you love
Home a place you make a living
Not home you fell alone
Not home you fell like you don’t belong
Not home you’re out of your comfort zone
Always lost
Always confused
Hating it
Wishing you were back home
No fun
Hopping you didn’t waste your time
Lost
Lonely
Always lost
Always confused
Home R Not Home

I belong to a privileged generation, when the photos were on paper. Today I can show photos to my children and grandchildren when I was a child, even younger than they are today. Many of the photos taken today will disappear or can't be shown to future generations because of changing in the media supports.

Yes, Tony, you are right about paper photos. I have thousands of digital photos I never look at, and also people generally don't want to look at photos on a computer screen. Lately, I have gone back to paper photos. I select a small sample (usually around 80-100) of the best photos from a trip or event, and have them made into a professional book album. These days you can do all that online, and have the album posted to you, relatively inexpensively. Leather bound, it makes a good coffee table book, or can be easily retrieved from a bookshelf, to show visitors.

Blossom is the flower of stone fruit trees.

Just one more note about "florida"  :)

árbol florido  = tree in blossom, a flowering tree  (masculine)

planta florida  = plant in blossom,  a flowering plant  (feminine)

florida is pronounced emphasizing on the letter "i"

flor  = flower

I took your árbol  word to Reverso.net to hear it spoken aloud. They say it like "al-bon". 
Is there a grammar rule when to make an R sound like L?
(english has lots of these type rules for double vowels, etc  ??? so wondered if Spanish does too...)

German language also has masculine and feminine forms. Always got confused for inanimate objects (buildings, plants, cars, etc).


Oranges have certainly travelled a long way to get to Florida!  I have an orange and a tangerine tree in my back yard. Dug up the grapefruit tree and got rid of it to someone that really likes them.  :yuck:

are you sure you didn't go to Chinese Reverso?  rofl
I heard it on Google translator and sounds fairly good...

You heard "al-bon"  and the correct sound is "ár-bol" just like written, (note the accent on the 'a'). In Spanish everything is read as it's written, I mean, unlike English, the letter 'a' is always A, no matter the word or position within it.  ;)

For inanimate objects the rule is simple: if the word ends with 'o' is masculine and femenine if ends with 'a'

In my zone, oranges and family does not grew up, too cold in winter... :(

The google translation voice is clearer.
And I think the word is said a bit slower which makes it easier for me to understand.

Ok... I get the O and the A when I see a word. I can see that is a masculine or feminine form of the word.

BUT... when try to remember which to use, I am very confused.
I can't remember when to use O and when to use A.

Have always thought the spanish language is so pretty, almost musical.
I find it very difficult to learn and does not sound pretty when I try.   :verysad:

In English, you use the definite article "the" for both feminine & masculine, we use articles "el" for masculine and "la" for feminine:

el árbol  =  the tree

la casa  =  the house

Remember never use the article 'el' followed with a word ended with 'a', and the same for the 'la' followed followed by a word ended with 'o'   ;)

There is another article (is called 'neutro'): "lo", but is much less used and this is kind of going too deep for the moment...  :D

German uses der, die and das for "the", masculine, feminine, nuetral also.
I had to memorize word lists to know which was used.
I will have to do that with Spanish too I guess.

But for some words, I can match the last letter.  Ok. That I can grasp.
casa = la
baño = el
gato = el

Pls, note that, as any rule, it has exceptions:
"el problema"  = the problem
"el alma"  = the soul
"la jurisdicción"  = the jurisdiction
"la  moto"  = the motorcycle (in this case is because the real name is motocicleta

To say the truth, I'm not the right person to teach Spanish, I speak it 100% but I'm not good with the grammar - never been -  it is not that easy as it look like.

fishing

I used to get seasick when fishing with my father-in-law, in his small boat. Now I have my own boat, I got used to it and no more sea sickness. But anyway, I don't do fishing any more. Just cruising around. Don't have the patience for fishing these days.

It was interesting to read your discussion about gender in language. While in China I try to improve my Chinese-speaking. There is no gender reference for animate or inanimate words in Chinese. So it is interesting that Chinese people have problems to handle this aspect of foreign languages. They often mix up "him" or "her", "he" or "she" etc, when talking about people, even when they are otherwise quite proficient in English. For example, they will refer to their female friend as "he". The equivalent in Chinese, "ta", is neutral, and used for both "he" and "she".

Back home to Sydney today. I really enjoy coming to China, but I hate the 11-hour flight! But sleeping pills do the trick for the overnight return flight.

In my adopter country, it was a common practice (mandatory in most cases) to ask the blessing (bendición) of our parents, grandparents and godparents, no matter the age you had, every time we met and said goodbye, to which they replied "Dios te bendiga" (God bless you). I grew up with that tradition, which is almost, or completely, extinct today, there is only a little reminiscence in traditional families. We still doing it in our family.

Tony, how long ago did you try the flu shots? I had the same experience, then did not do it again for a long time. But these days, the flu shots are completely different, they don't contain the live flu virus as they did before, and I have not had that kind of reaction. It might be worth trying again.

They have cleverly led people to something that can not be.
Prius is a Latin word meaning "before" can therefore be used as a preposition or adverb.
So what is the plural of "before"?

In Italian -direct daughter of Latin- many words have no plural, specially those ended with "o" as Euro, moto, auto...

Jungle

Reminded me of Rum Jungle, a former uranium mine in the far north of Australia.

Mining and mineral processing occurred from 1954 to 1971 producing 3,530 tonnes of uranium oxide and 20,000 tonnes of copper concentrate.

"This Is the House That Jack Built" is a popular British nursery rhyme and cumulative tale.

It has also been the title of many movies over the years, the first one made in 1900.

Sprint, my phone company, sent me an update that killed my phone.  Android "gingerbread" operating system was NOT compatible.
Made it turn off and on and off and on...over and over. All data wiped. Had to leave the phone with Sprint to get it fixed.  After stressing that my backups will NOT bring me back to where I was before the update stripped my phone, they gave me a credit on my bill.  I have backups but unfortunately some data is gone forever. The backup program can not reach certain files. Phones are not well designed for USERS. WHY do they store settings, ringtones, logs, statistics, game data, contacts and other personal data in the operating system folders? Why aren't these things put in the user data folder so they can be backed up??  If I had ROOTED/cracked/broken the phone I could back up everything. But that would void my warranty and support.  So no matter what, I am stuck.

Rick my android is a solid phone and stable.  I considered iphone (I love my itouch) but only att had them.
Generally I lose internet connection because of where I connect. And Sprint, my provider, is the best in this area for connectivity (all have maps that look like swiss cheese when you zoom in closely). Sprint still has the least amount of dead spots where I am most. But I seem to find them in Ocala AND Orlando!  I really like the Amazon.com Free App of the Day.  Tons of good apps that I have never had to pay for.  :boogie:  One of them is a nice backup program.   :TUP:

You are right Rick, it doesn't appear on dic.com,  :-\  it is probably an Americanism, in fact one of my fovourites TV show is called "Rallenty Effect". Please, Google it just like that, with semicolons, and tell me more.

You must be both right, I have no doubts about it, however, the web is full of these two consecutive words.
I checked again the show name and it is an "Italianized" name of Time Warp (do you know this show?) called here "Effetto Rallenty"  (see here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQBH3cHYLQY)

I Googled the phrase and I found a lot of pages that use it that way, mostly talking about "slow motion"  :-\




Okay, following Rick's effect   :)

Have never seen that show.  The you tube video shows people known as "free runners" here in the USA. 
Amazing athletes.  Considered an Extreme Sport.  Activity described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freerunning

Sorry for creating such a confusion.  :-[
The scenes on that video were filmed in "rallenty" (slow motion) by the Time Warp show crew.

Tony, in this case, rash means some redness, marks or sores on the skin, usually caused by an infection. It seems not uncommon these days to pick up an infection while in hospital. Something similar happened to my sister while in hospital.

Yes, Rick explained rash very well.  In his case, they think he had allergic reaction to medicine he was receiving.
They changed his meds and the rash is getting better. :TUP:
Tomorrow is the day that ALL the test results are reviewed. They will make a final decision when to do the biopsy and how to treat his back.
YAY!  :hapscream:   I am sure that the biopsy will be fine.

I had to have a biopsy and still carry a metal pellet where they marked "an area of concern" for monitoring. All is well.  I have faith the same will be for your daughter.   Frozen peas make a great ice pack. They conform to any shape necessary. And can be re-frozen/re-used.

My brother had his biopsy today.  waiting for results....

I have got around that regional IP issue when in China by using the proxy server. But it can be messy and unreliable.

BTW, I am off to China again on Monday for 3 weeks. So my Samisite contributions will depend on the proxy server again.

I put together a cheap little 4 foot computer desk for my use for when I am at my mother's home. LOVE it.  :hearts: Can use it all closed up, or slide one part out to make it a lovely L shaped desk. Plenty of room for a couple monitors, printer down below, and even my portable scanner and backups.  Bought it a year ago on sale and FINALLY got it set up today.  YAY!   :hapscream: :hapscream:

I had 3 printers also.  My xp desktop PC died last year. This year my brother killed my xp laptop.  So I have only one printer that will work with my win 7 laptop. And it is not at my mother's home. It is in Orlando in my home.

I have 2 small scanners. The flatbed scanner is gone, but I have a nice WAND scanner that fits in my hand (store it in my briefcase).
(http://www.samisite.com/external/magicwand.jpg)
And a WONDERFUL portable scanner that takes up no space at all!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp2BLGZQPFc   It often travels with me too.

I have room for my backup drives and scanner, my laptop and extra monitor on the top. If I had another printer I could put it on the bottom shelf. And still have the writing surface on the right side. Perfect for my needs at her house.  I have more stuff at my own home.

In the bad old days when the unions dominated the workplace scene, they often had "closed shops". This meant you had to be a member of the union if you worked there.

Neat workstation Sami.

I don't have to scan much these days, but for the occasional scan job, I find the scanner app on my iphone works great. Slow, but so convenient.

I knew about his founder, Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, the day that back in the 70', after a car damage going to work,  someone stopped along and gave me a saint picture of him (see it here (http://www.google.it/imgres?imgurl=http://lh6.ggpht.com/_XWViIO-rjyg/TKTMg_0-qvI/AAAAAAAAKEc/IhJHG0lfKXY/San%2520Josemar%C3%ADa%2520Escriv%C3%A1%2520de%2520balaguer%255B6%255D.jpg&imgrefurl=http://instrumentoscristianos.blogspot.com/2010/09/san-josemaria-escriva-audios.html&h=420&w=294&sz=23&tbnid=JEs8rs4HciKlwM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=63&prev=/search%3Fq%3DJose%2Bescriva%2Bde%2Bbalaguer%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=Jose+escriva+de+balaguer&docid=YekJi5xnG5junM&hl=it&sa=X&ei=4siTT_CfINHhtQa089SRBA&sqi=2&ved=0CGYQ9QEwCA&dur=34  [b)) saying "ask him!!" and moved on his way.... I looked surprised to this figure and thought "well, I don't believe in these things and, moreover, this is not a situation to ask for a saint favour, but if you can help me, just do it!" Coincidentally, after a minute, a friend of mine that never/rarely use that way showed up and with a big smile told me "need help?"  :D

Sami, it is strange that Spartacus has not being shown in your local TV. It was supposed to be only a single season, but due to success, they have been forced to continue with the second. Whitfield was at the seventh heaven of happiness for the success and fame that the character gave him. He was preparing the second series when the cancer was diagnosed.
Quote:
"While waiting for Whitfield's treatment and expected recovery, the network produced a six-part prequel, "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena," that aired earlier this year with only a brief voiceover from the actor.
But in January after Whitfield's condition grew worse, the network announced that another Australian actor, Liam McIntyre, would take over the role."


He was British (Wales), not Australian as I wrongly said before; he moved to Australia in 1999.
Another known face is playing the series: Lucy Lawless, "Xena, The Warrior Princess", beautiful more than ever!! do you remember her?  :)

Google 'Spartacus died' to read more about, is a very touching story...

Yes.  Loved both the Hercules and Xena series.  Both filmed in New Zealand (such beautiful locations!). Lucy Lawless sings beautifully and is funny too.  She has shown up on several of my favorite shows in guest roles. Glad she is on another series. Had blond hair for a while...Recognized voice before face.  :)
Will watch for that show and let you know when/if it shows up.

I was curious about that "itsy bitsi teeny weeny" never heard before and looked for it. I was really surprised when discovered that is the same song I use to hear in Spanish back in the 60's.   :hapscream:   "Bikini amarillo con lunares" was the title... I now discovered that the original version was in English and was written by Paul Vance and initially popularized by Brian Hyland

If you are curious to hear it in Spanish and other languages, have a look in this forum, about half page, there is a list of clickable mp3's with different versions of the song. There is also an interesting note about, here: h**tp://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/28/arts/music/28bikini.html

 :D I am nearly an old woman now, but there was a time I had fun, on stage, in the air, many ways.
Did not care for hot air ballooning, too loud, too hot. 

Skydiving was great. Had to climb out of a CESNA airplane (no seats in it) onto a small 18" square platform attached to wing strut then let go, diving backwards. Friends had gone and told me about it.  I decided to do it to get over a fear of falling.  Didn't help.  But Skydiving was beautiful. Peaceful. Exhilarating. Fun. (also expensive)

CUT!


Tony it was not courage for me.  It was determination.  I wanted to get over a fear of falling. Was sure that if I could survive a fall of several THOUSAND feet, my fear of falling would go away. 

But we were SO HIGH UP that my fear did not kick in. No fear or extra fast heart beat like when I stand on a balcony.  Even in training when we had to jump off the platform (and furniture) to learn to land/roll properly, my fear did not kick in.

And coming down, I did not get a sense of falling. It was different. Like the straps were cradling me. Like I was in God's hand, drifting to earth. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful.  Had a walkie talkie on my spare chute and they would tell me to turn right 15 degrees, left 90 degrees, etc.  Was great!  Could not afford to keep going. 

Had a good friend that splintered her ankle badly on a bad landing. She came in WITH the wind behind her, landed HARD and was dragged by her chute.  I was in her same jump (5 of us came down together). It was my third and it was her first.  I watched as she plowed into the tarmac landing strip.  NOT GOOD.  We were required to wear high lace up army boots that really held her ankle tight otherwise she would have had worse damage.

Yea, nice words Sami, but they don't convince me... I wouldn't jump. There are too many possibilities to be hurt.
I once was near to do it (in USA), but I let one of my friends did it for first. When he landed, pale and shocked, saying "never more in my life!..." it put and end to my little desire to do it.
I do admit that those people that jump with a "flying squirrel" suit absolutely enjoy the real sense of flying.

I have bi-focals (two strengths in one pair glasses). Reading along the bottom, distance at top.
The doctor wanted to give me tri-focals (three prescriptions in one lens).  But instead, I got a separate pair just for working at the computer (middle distance and close up, no long distance). But half the time I just take my glasses off.  :D :D

I can not wear the bifocals that are "invisible" with out a cut line.  They "blend" from one strength to the other and that is very uncomfortable for me.  I have to have the cut line, set lower than normal for them to be useful to me.  lower 1/3 is close, top 2/3 is for distance

Rick, I understand what you mean.
But unfortunately the financial crisis is not confined to Europe or one country now.  It is global. USA is in bad shape.  Companies are still closing.  Those that are staying open are limiting hiring and hiring at wages far below 3 years ago, half or less.  Foreclosures are still rampant, housing is still struggling. And our political leaders are busy fighting against each other instead of fight FOR citizens.  Orlando has changed drastically.  Hotel occupancy down, construction down, boarded up shopping and other businesses.  So sad.   :'(.

Yes, you are right, Sami. But I think the Euro zone concept restricts the ability of individual countries to manage their economic situation by devaluing their currencies as they have been able to do in the past. This increases the risk of a catastrophic effect across all of Europe, as the few stronger countries, such as Germany, struggle to bear the load.

But globally, it all comes back to the simple fact that we have all been living beyond our means for many years. Something had to give. Unfortunately, I don't think it is over yet. The huge risk is China. Their economy, political and social situation is showing cracks. If China falters, we will catch more than a cold!

According to you guys, the correct way of hand writing the number seven (7) is slashing it in the middle (Crossed Seven) or living it as the previous seven wrote between parenthesis?  :D
Americans (USA) don't use to cross it, how about in Australia?
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on July 11, 2012, 06:31:21 PM
Lawrence

In Australia, we also do not slash the 7 in the middle. However I got used to slashing the 7, having worked for a French company for many years. I can understand the reason, as it avoids mistaking the 7 for 1, in the same way as slashing the zero avoids mixing with letter "o".

Tony, why did you ask that question?  ???
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on July 11, 2012, 11:58:52 PM
Olivier


I grew up in Germany, slashed 7 for quite a while after I came back to USA.  I was forced to drop the slash.  I liked it, and like slashing zero 0 so you could tell difference with O.   Any time I write a serial number, I still slash 0.

I can see your point that the stronger economies are burdened.
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on July 12, 2012, 03:35:05 AM
Twist



The question came to mind after words Numbers and Arabic. I don't remember when and where I read that actual numbers (their shape) represent the amount of angles implicit, say that number 1 is  ^, 2 would be Z, 3 is an inverted Σ and so on (I can't write all the here, example, the 8 would be two triangles joined at their vertices) up to “O” which means total absence of angles. Following this theory, it would be impossible to write the number seven without the middle slash, even more, it should be something like “ ¬ ”.
It is just to know which is the correct way of writing the seven, with or without slash, nothing else.  :D
I do slash it.  :TUP:

He is decent. Sounded fine. But no special charisma. Misses the mark for me. He has studied some of the elvis gestures. But not enough. And he did not draw me in at all.

From a woman's viewpoint:  Elvis was SEXY. Not just because he was pretty (and he was!). But because he had FUN. He smiled and laughed while singing, made you think he was singing privately to you with the sparkling eyes and vocal inflections. He played with lyrics, with his band, with the audience.  He enjoyed the stage, the adoration, and fed off it. His voice was unique. His voice has been copied by others but not close enough. And some of the movements too.  But he had MORE.  He flirted and made love to the audience.  YouTube is a wonderful resource for some of his concert footage that shows the showman, the tenderness, the foolishness. ......

I know of no other performer that has been awarded for outstanding work in r&b, rock, pop, gospel, contemporary and country genres of music...he was simply amazing.  Too bad the "colonel" held him back from his acting career. He was locked into the feather weight musicals by the "colonel" and was not allowed to do meatier roles.

This is a cool idea for a movie:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moLDcu2QBzM&feature=related

Rick, twitter is for the birds. Many people imitate them on Twitter with tweets. Some people are so prolific they tweet about 100 times a day. These are definitely twits because many tweets equals a twit, but there are filters and lists to select from. Tweeting is however big business.

bones

Witch doctors in Africa claim to divine the future by reading the positioning of bones thrown on a small mat. The bones (sometimes stones and pieces of wood are included) are called 'dolos' and are usually kept in a small leather pouch. A movie (comedy) titled 'Mr Bones' was made where the bones were thrown and there has been a sequel as well. It is funny to watch if you haven't anything else to do.

seance

We used to have "seance" parties, but when we sat around the round table, mostly  drunk, and turned out the lights, a lot of "spiritual" things happened!

Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on July 20, 2012, 04:35:47 AM
tobacco


The most diffused ritual in South America:

"SORTE, Venezuela - In a clearing beneath the magic mountain of Sorte, a half-naked witchdoctor cavorts over three quivering boys lying inside an intricate chalk circle lighted by candles.

The three boys have come to this jungle shrine to be purified from witchcraft. The rite mingles voodoo rituals from the South American nation's slave past with Indian shamanism and the beliefs of the dominant Catholic church.

The shaman sprays liquor from his mouth over their bare bodies and blows smoke from a cheroot into their faces while summoning a spirit from Maria Lionza's court to possess him.

Suddenly, his eyes roll and he bursts into a high-pitched jabbering. He has been taken by Elegua, a belligerent young spirit from the court of the seven African powers -- one of dozens of minor deities in Maria Lionza's spirit kingdom. "...

"Tobacco is the messenger," said a toothless Maria de Sorte, puffing a cheroot as she stood beside the river that guards the entrance to the forest. "It opens pathways to the spirits."

Hi Ed, I don't know what does "pushing a tin" would mean in the context, but hear the "music" of the syllables while reading the strange word and, at the same time, point with you finger a different person on each syllable and you will realize that it is also used in your country, obviously with other words...
The second part is "buscalamascaraqueeltiterefue" (busca-la-mascara-que-el-titere-fue) I think there are more parts, but rarely used.


It's a matter of choice.  Get it?

Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on August 02, 2012, 04:30:48 AM
OK, sorry guys, I spent some time looking to find out how to say the same thing at least in American English, but I couldn't. I'll try to explain myself to see if you get what I'm talking about:

Say that you must pick up just one of two things (whatever) but you are in doubt which to choose, any of the two will do for you (two in this case, but could be more options...), so you decided let the fortune to make a choice for you and pointing alternately the objects you say “tin-marin-the-dos-pingué-busca-la-máscara-que-el-titere-fue!!”    - the last thing pointed (under the word “fue” ) will be your choice!!

Get it?

To finish sinking you, Italians (specially kids) used to say:

“ambaraba-chi-chi-co-co-
tre-chivette-sul-comò-
che-facevano-l’amò-
con-la-figlia-del-dottò-
il-dottore-siammalò-
e-la-figlia-si-sposò
ambaraba-chi-chi-co-co"


(some words are meaningless...)

 rofl rofl rofl

Boy, I don’t even know how to call this neither in Spanish nor Italian, imagine in English!
I guess that, even if your respective language is English, each of you, belonging to different countries, have your own way to say it, don’t you?   :D





Last minute:
In Italian is called "filastrocca"
Even though this case has nothing to do with nursery, in English seems to be called "Nursery rhyme"
See this Wikipedia article, it may help understand it: h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursery_rhyme
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on August 03, 2012, 04:46:04 PM
OK Tony, got it now! We had a similar saying when we were kids, but it is not used any more because it is not acceptable way to speak these days. Anyway, this is it:

eenie-meenie-minie-moe
catch-a-******-by-the-toe
if-he-squeals-let-him-go
eenie-meenie-minie-mo!

****** I left out the offensive word. Probably the word has been replaced with something else these days, but I have not heard it.

It's an old custom inherited from the Spanish.
Today they use a single name (sometimes two, e.g. my son is called Miguel Antonio) followed by father's last name and finally the last name of the mother. This is to avoid problems of homonymy, e.g. there are too many Antonio Rosciano in Italy, but I'm the only one with the second last name took from my mother.

In Italy: they use only one name & one last name = HUGE problem of homonymy. Don't be surprised if you get a fine which belongs to another person with your same name... :v8slap:

alcohol is antiseptic for cleaning wounds.

bondi > sugary  (the beach is fine white sand, as in sugary sand) 
The beaches of northern florida panhandle (http://www.awesomeflorida.com/florida-cities/panama-city-beach.htm) are like that. 
Quote
Panama City Beach:  The beaches are among the best in Florida with nearly 20 miles of fine sugar-white sand, relatively warm and generally calm seas.

There is a beach on the other side of the island where I am now with my boat. It has the whitest, finest sand you can imagine. Almost like powder. We will probably go there in the next couple of days. Have a search for Whitehaven Beach.

The last few days boating, we have seen lots of whales, dolphins, and turtles. The whales are migrating, and pass this area around August every year.

Detergent is soap for cleaning.
When added to water, it creates soapy foam, bubble, known as suds.
Think of squirt of dish washing soap into running water, or laundry detergent in washer.

Back in harbour yesterday after a couple of weeks sailing around the islands. I will fly back home to Sydney on Saturday. We have had good weather, did a lot of diving, and saw heaps of whales, dolphins, and turtles.

The Whitsunday Islands in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is one of the best boat cruising areas in the world. Wonderful place!

Yes... They are nasty looking. Stitches you see are the 4th, top layer.  They are very course and scratchy basically to keep all the fine stitches on the other layers from pulling out.  Vet had to go down to the bone and repair on each level separately. Those big outer stitches comeout Monday afternoon.  Had to keep cat confined for days in a cage so he could not rip/tear out her work.  3" circle of skin was removed. Huge hole to tie together.

Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on September 29, 2012, 06:56:31 AM
I could not, but I searched the longest word in Spanish:

superextraordinarísimamente
(extremely superextraordinarily) (Spanish pronunciation: [supeɾekstɾaorðinaˈɾisimaˈmente]) 27 letters.

However, according to Wikipedia, there is a dispute with the 24-letter word electroencefalografistas (electroencephalographists) which has been cited as the longest Spanish word in actual use.

Quote Wikipedia:
The 23-letter words esternocleidomastoideo (sternocleidomastoid) and anticonstitucionalmente are two of the longest words in the Spanish language, though the latter was removed from the Real Academia Española's dictionary in 2005.

surgeon

(Male) surgeons are always addressed as Mr in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland
The tradition arose before 1800 when physicians were by definition doctors who possessed a university medical degree (an MD); surgeons seldom had any formal qualifications
The growth of voluntary hospitals in the 18th century brought high status to surgeons
After the founding of the Royal College of Surgeons of London in 1800, surgeons had a formal qualification (the MRCS)
Surgeons became so proud to be distinguished from physicians that the title of Mr became a badge of honour

Greenies (Australian slang) are conservationists or environmentalists (Davids) which fight against giants (Goliaths), the most responsible of the environmental disaster.

Thanks guys!  :hug: yes, I turned another year older and to celebrate, I got a bit more gray in my hair.  (Caused by computer issues). I was taken to see a live musical about the "Million Dollar Quartet", Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis.  Very good singers, fun upbeat music.

Got the new smiley added :thinking: and moved a couple so they are together... Thanks.  It's a good addition.

We use to catch guamos (a small beetle-shape-crab that lives under the beach sand - I didn't find its name in English...) to use them as baits, digging a stick in the undertow with the remains of a fish tied to it. When water flows away, you could see them digging a tunnel under the sand surface to the fish carcass - same as they do in the cartoons...  :D - , guided by the odour that it leaves in the running water.
It was enough just wait a while to recover the fish full of guamos attached to it!   :TUP:

One of our biggest crises is people arriving illegally by boat. Many drown during the rough passage in un-seaworthy boats. Our current government has totally lost control of the situation.

Yes, Tony, Chinese and other Asians are now among our biggest tourist groups. Middle-class Chinese are now becoming quite wealthy, and beginning to travel extensively.

They often get into trouble with the Customs Border Control, because they tend to bring large amounts of Chinese food ingredients with them. There are significant restrictions on food brought into Australia.

Anyway, I am offsetting the trend of Chinese coming into Australia! Off to China again tomorrow. Unfortunately, I probably will not be able to access Samisite while I am there, as usual. Back in two weeks. See you then!

In Texas they have many mexicans that sneak across our border from the south crossing the rio grande river to get here. 
And people from haiti and cuba too in florida.
Our borders are far too open too, causing a strain on financial resources, especially along our southern states.
USA has a policy that if you are born here (legally or illegally) you are an American citizen. Once one person in the family is a citizen, it is hard to limit the family...

Ok... I am in LOVE.   :hearts:
Just heard John Farnham in a Jesus Christ Superstar live performance back in 1992 (on YouTube video) and began searching for other performances of his. Huge voice with terrific range.  Did a wonderful job as Jesus (very difficult role/songs). Found lots of concert footage over the years. Even found a concert he did with Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow called "the Main Event". Anthony Warlow's rendition of "this is the Moment" from the musical Jekyll and Hyde is the best I have ever heard. I put that CD on my wishlist at amazon. I didn't know who he was back in 2000 when he sung at the olympics in Sydney.  Now I know why he was chosen.   :TUP:  :hearts:

Wow, Sami. I was at that Main Event concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in 1998! It was fantastic! John Farnham is indeed very talented. His very first hit was a simple song which he now tries to distance himself from, but it was a big hit in Australia at the time: Sadie, The Cleaning Lady!

But my favourite concert event of all time was Neil Diamond's massive outdoor Hot August Night Concert at the Sydney Sports Ground in 1976. The atmosphere was so electric and charged, especially when he did Song Sung Blue, and also Sweet Caroline. Amazing memories of that night!

Small world. Thanks to the internet. Thanks for explaining the Sadie the cleaning lady.  In one clip I saw, Warlow was teasing him about it using a Jerry Lewis type voice but I had no frame of reference to understand it.  Great Concert.

Several years ago I took my mother to a Neil Diamond concert in Orlando Arena (one of her all-time favorite singers). We had terrific seats and he gave a wonderful show. There's good reason he is still performing after all these years. Still makes me smile to think of it.

NRA consider themselves patriots. The second amendment to USA national Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms. And the NRA will fight to keep that untouched.  Even arguing to keep assault type guns legal for non-military.  I see no need for civilians to have them and wish they were illegal.

Surely the right to bear arms doesn't mean the right to bear any arms they like. Could there not be restrictions to basic guns, while still complying with the constitution? Anyway, in the modern world, such a right has no place, and the fact it remains is a sad statement on American society.

Laws should be passed declaring the NRA an illegal organisation, and any others representing the ownership and promotion of gun use. I know, I know, they are too powerful. What does that tell you?

From my point of view, there should be no reason why anyone should have a gun, with the possible exception of farmers and the like. The last thing any civilised society wants is idiots running around with guns.

I have no problem with individuals owning shotguns and some rifles, handguns.  The latter for target practice, hunting and other practical/legal uses.  But other than that, why have some of the guns we have but for human destruction, some on mass scale.

I have seen only one of those two movies. Enjoyed Bridges. Haven't seen Sophies Choice all the way through. (Have picked it up already in progress on tv several times)

Meryl Streep is a favorite actress. Everytime you see her, she is someone completely different.  Clint Eastwood is such a talented man in front of and behind the camera. Both handle drama and comedy with equal success. The work they have done is amazing.  :TUP:

"bailiwick" is an old word which means the district or area in which someone has a specific responsibility, or a situation which is their usual place of living or occupation.

It comes from a "bailiff" (old word for police officer, sheriff, etc) having a specific area for which they were responsible to enforce the law. This area was known as their "bailiwick". The word later took on a wider meaning as anyone's "bailiwick" meaning their area of responsibility or general skill, area of living, etc.

I have a new battery (5 mos old I think) and the old one too. The new one is the one giving me fits. The old one I EXPECT to get a short time. It is basically used to extend my time a little when the main one dies.  The phone is giving bad reception, shortened battery life and locking up/freezing ever since last update.  I think it is a by-product of their code change.  I am going to prune out some apps, try to give it a bit of space in case that's an issue...

Tantrum

I love the color blue. Found this about blue & sad.
Quote
In the English language, blue may refer to the feeling of sadness. "He was feeling blue". This is because blue was related to rain, or storms, and in Greek mythology, the god Zeus would make rain when he was sad (crying), and a storm when he was angry.
-  The phrase "feeling blue" is linked also to a custom among many old deepwater sailing ships. If the ship lost the captain or any of the officers during its voyage, she would fly blue flags and have a blue band painted along her entire hull when returning to home port.

Dancers often train in rooms with full wall mirrors.

Temper makes me think of the heat/cool process that is done with a forge.  You heat a sword, pound it into shape then cool in water.  Repeat over and over to temper the steel to the right shape and strength.  This man made a knife from horseshoe:  .youtube.com/watch?v=8X1ITbwbM8I

Herbs come from the leafy and green part of the plant.

Spices are parts of the plant other than the leafy bit such as the root, stem, bulb, bark or seeds.

Our Winter is about 4 weeks. And only gets COLD for a few days a year.
Some years I need sweaters but no coat.  :(
Our Spring and Fall are very short too. Some years we don't get a real Spring.
In Florida, our heat begins in late March early April and does not cool off till the beginning of October!  Too long for me.
90f + degree (32c +) for months. With very high humidity.
Feels like walking out of air conditioning into a steamy sauna.

I love the crunchy crust on French bread. Walked to the boulangerie every morning to get my daily baguette while we were travelling in France. So now I am re-motivated and started baking my own French bread again.

Hmm, seems we are spoilt with weather in Australia. It is middle of winter now, and Sydney is generally around 10-22c. Cool evenings and delightful sunny days. But I still like to go north to where my boat is (going next month for 3 weeks). It is typically 19-24c during the winter.

Altamura


Altamura, is an area in the Provincia di Bari, in the Puglia region of Italy,
It is famous for the bread they produce ("Pane di Altamura”, designated POD in Europe [Protected designation of origin] in 2003).

People around where I live like the white bread  :yuck:, it is very difficult to find a crunchy-toasted bread as the baguettes that Rick mentioned and with whom I share preferences.
I was accustomed to very good baguettes in Venezuela, were bread is made by Portuguese, the kings of bakeries there.
To have the Altamura bread here I have to drive +/- 30 Km round trip.

Hohenecken, Germany

I grew up with German brotchen, little crunchy crust rolls that were made several times a day with several local bakeries nearby. They were served warm, crunchy and so delicious. When we visted a few years ago I feasted on them and the very rich butter (almost had a cheese texture). We have neither here.  Also Barbarossa Bäckerei had the best Rasberry torte!

Creme Brulee

Mentioning the raspberry torte made me think of my favourite dessert: creme brulee! For years I have been on a world-wide quest for the perfect creme brulee.

Until recently, the winner, believe it or not, was a small restaurant in Dallas, Texas! But on my recent trip to France, it was soundly beaten by a perfect creme brulee, in a famous Paris restaurant, the Bofinger. The Bofinger has a magnificent traditional Belle Epoque setting, right near the Place de la Bastille.

The creme brulee has returned home!

Strawberry Shortcake


I am not much for desserts. But once in a while...  :TUP:
I guess if I had my pick of all desserts, it would be a fresh strawberry shortcake, where the shortcake crumbles and soaks up the fruit juices.  Most in restaurants use a round spongy thing instead of shortcake.  :yuck:  Even had an after dinner Liquor that tasted just like strawberry shortcake.

Conspiracy?  The companies that make the fast-food, sodas, snacks, prepared food that makes people FAT are heavily invested in the DIET lines of foods and medicines to assist with side affects of obesity.

Unfortunately here in USA, it costs far more to eat healthy, choose fresh over prepared so some people can not afford that choice.

treasure

Tony, I got the idea from your word Indigo, which followed Strauss. Indigo and the Forty Thieves is an operetta composed by Johann Strauss II.

Ali Baba is a character from medieval Arabic literature. He is described in the adventure tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. That's where I got the connection to "indigo".

One day Ali Baba is at work collecting and cutting firewood in the forest, and he happens to overhear a group of forty thieves visiting their treasure store. The treasure is in a cave, the mouth of which is sealed by magic. It opens on the words "iftah ya simsim" (commonly written as "Open Sesame" in English), and seals itself on the words "Ikfil ya simsim" ("Close Sesame"). When the thieves are gone, Ali Baba enters the cave himself, and takes some of the treasure home.

I have to recheck EVERY post and I frequently use Google translator to construct the phrase. Google and Word help me also with the ortography. Still, I know I make "orrors", sometimes I notice them when I reread what I wrote.
I am unable to hold a conversation in English, nor understand a song, even understand a movie in English, I just capture some isolated words. This forum has helped me especially to understand what I READ, writing is the only way I had to converse with an English speaking person.

Exact Rick, that's a fact!. Same thing happens with my Italian; I can understand 100% hearing and reading, but I can't speak very well. Why? I don't know, I think it is a cerebral matter, who was forced to speak Spanish for such a long time. Same happens to all adults that emigrate to another country; they will never speak currently the new language or at least without a particular accent of their primitive language. This not happens with kids, they will learn and will loose their native accent faster and forever.
Now I can understand my parents who never learned to speak Spanish, even after 50 years in that country.  ;)

She was famous for her Tarzan yell.   (great post Tony!   rofl)

My friend was in the hospital for uncontrolled bleeding from unknown source that made her pass out.  Lots of tests.

She has been fighting MRSA (sounds like MERSA) for a few years. Antibiotic resistant Staph.  Very nasty stuff...  She became infected in a hospital.  "MRSA infections are transmitted from person to person by direct contact with the skin, clothing, or area (for example, sink, bench, bed, and utensil) that had recent physical contact with a MRSA-infected person."

But I put bungee jumping in a different category: it is crazy, and can do a lot of damage to your body, especially eyes.

BTW, I am going to China again tomorrow, for two weeks. As usual, I guess I will not be able to get Samisite on the internet, and the Chinese have blocked all the proxy servers and VPN, so probably you won't hear from me again until the end of the month.

The big ones heading the rules say "let's save Italy!" (but with our money), increasing taxes. The huge salaries and benefits (exagerated) they earn are untouchables.

We have "tasse" (taxes), "imposte" (fees) and "accise" (ecxise tax)
I agree with you, for my pocket are all the same.

Think that a LITER of gasoline today is around €1,85 (EUROS - it was €2,00 some months ago), well, more than 65% goes to the government.

Tony, I think you are referring to the 1978 Karl Wallenda fall in Puerto Rico.  I saw that.

I meant the BIG fall with the 7 man pyramid on the wire.
On January 30, 1962, while performing at the State Fair Coliseum in Detroit, the front man on the wire faltered and the pyramid collapsed taking all but one to the ground.  My grandfather was there in Detroit Michigan.

I am so tired of Internet issues.  I am barely able to connect and internet provider doesn't fix it. But ever call to them they try to sell better packages.  Why pay MORE FOR MORE SPEED when they can't provide the speed I am already paying for?

I pay for 15mbps, get up to 11mbps when it works well, and often have less than 2mbps connections.
I have replaced my modem often, called for support, they blame the "area", or in my home (NOPE).
The problem starts at my power pole outside my home and most of the time when they do come out to repair it is simple quick fix at the pole.  Once in a while the problem is down the road.
The problem has NEVER been in my home or with MY equipment yet they always start there when I call...

Many of them are on DSL not cable.  The DSL at BEST is far slower than cable.
And more expensive since I get bundled tv and internet.  TV comes in fine, no problems on same cable, but the internet is either great or a real problem.

I am on cable not adsl.  DSL is through phone lines, cable runs on other lines. It comes to house on coaxial cable from pole. Simple splitter branches into 4 coaxial black cables. This sends signal to 4 places in my home.  On one end, I put the cable modem (supplied by cable company). The other three go to TVs.  I bought nothing.  When I stop using their cable for Internet, I return the modem. I have traded the modem a couple times.  Will do it again this week... Can't stay connected to Internet for long. Had to go to my mothers for solid connection... Frustrating.

loaf

On my way to school, I had to walk past a bakery. At that time, they still delivered the bread by horse and cart. The bakery yard was full of carts being loaded. I used to buy a half-loaf of bread. When they broke the loaf in half, the steam would come pouring out. I dug out the fresh, steaming bread from inside the crust - delicious!

These days, I love a genuine French baguette. It is very difficult to find that in Sydney. There are many which claim to be French baguettes, but they are not the same. Finally I found one bakery which bakes the baguettes perfectly. But it is not close to home, so when I go there, I buy six or more long baguettes, and put them in the freezer at home. When I want to use them, I pop them in the oven for about 10 minutes, and they come out just as good as new!

I may not be online much this week. I bought a new boat, and this week I will drive it up the east coast of Australia, to the island in the north, where I kept my previous boat the last 10 years. It will be about a 6-day voyage.

Orange is the new black....
1) tv show about women in prison     never watched it.
2) ____ is the new black   (fill in the color of your choice).   Black is a basic, fashion necessity.  Each year fashion people say "____ is the new black" with this year's favorite color.  Pink is the new black, etc. . Trying to get everyone to buy the new favorite color as a staple (basic needed color).
3) Black is basic color for equipment. But it blends in.  Orange was chosen as basic (normal) color for the black boxes for it's visibility in a crash.  Stands out because not much orange, tons of black.

tunnel

Once I was caving in a wild cave. We were walking in the dark along a small river, up to our waists. Then we came across a tunnel carved out by the river. That tunnel was all pure white marble. So spectacular and beautiful.

On Monday I arrived to the island in my new boat. She went perfectly over the 6-day voyage, and fortunately, the weather was excellent. I will stay here until the end of the month.

Night Watch is a fantasy novel by Russian writer Sergei Lukyanenko published in 1998. The story revolves around a confrontation between two opposing supernatural groups. It was made into a movie in 2004.

Haha, Tony, you make my life seem more dramatic than the reality!

Sami, I don't miss the old boat too much yet. It is berthed in the marina directly opposite the new one, and we have spent the last few days moving our gear from old to new boat.

But the "For Sale" sign makes me feel a little sad. I got to really like that boat in the 10 years we owned it. But I have already sold it to the ship broker, so I don't have the hassle to sell it.

Wao Rick! that's a good start! Congratulations!  You don't imagine my happiness when I hear somebody trying to communicate with me in my language.  :D
I'm watching on TV an Australian series called "Airport Security" and sometimes I set the original audio...
The accent is quite different from American, to my ears is a mix between British and American. Unfortunately, I can’t understand everything…

Have you listened the different accents between Latin-American countries? I'm able to tell you the country where the person comes just hearing a couple words, and there are 21 countries, excluding Brasil wich talks Portughese and Haití wich talks Creole.

Haha, Tony I have to admit that Google translate helped me a lot with my writing in Spanish!  LOL

I like that show "Airport Security". Because Australia is an island continent, we are free of many of the animal and plant diseases in other countries. So there are many restrictions on what you can bring into the country. It is a real inconvenience going through those procedures when entering Australia, but I guess it is for a good cause. But it is certainly an interesting program, to see what people will do to come into the country, and what they try to bring with them.

I have to say I have no experience with the different accents in Latin-Amerian countries. But I know what you mean. Australia is a big country with a small population, so the people are spread out everywhere. I can tell the different accents of people from the north, south and west, even they may sound the same to you.

I use it very often, but to use this help you must know a little the other language, however, you will always make mistakes, as in my case in this forum.

Regarding the different accents of people from same country, you are right, and I think that same happens in all countries.
Here the Italian TV sometimes uses Italian subtitles when some person, coming from a particular region within Italy, talks.

In Italian (also in Spanish), salsa used on pasta is made from plum tomatoes (the oval variety, not round) called "San Marzano". 8)

Now, the “high society” and “refined language” calls it “sugo”. I’ve always known it as “salsa” since I was a kid (not the dance…  :D)


People around here use to conserve it for the whole year, when tomato is out of season.

I've been at my mother's home for a couple weeks taking care of her. It's been a rough time here.  My mother is fighting to stay out of hospital. Long story. Doctor has her on STRONG MEDS and promised hospital if they do not improve her health quickly. This is beginning of a road I DO NOT want to go down.  :'( :( :verysad: This end of it is NOT nice for the smoker or the loved ones.  Smoking CAUSED her problems.   Gentlemen, my friends  :hearts:, if you smoke, please quit.  :hug:

I have been fighting with technology... wifi router that drops out whenever it feels like it. Phone that wont get on internet (cant afford to replace right now) but can get calls and texts. The last UPDATE that I applied made it start misbehaving. Maybe they will patch it...

On the bright side, I have had some really wonderful clients lately, and I am handling more calls for APPLE products too.  Windows 8 has been good to me and so has XP discontinued.  The more people leave windows xp, the better I like it!   :TUP: :D  http://www.aWebWench.com (http://www.aWebWench.com)  My ad in the local CoffeeNews has been great getting new clients.

I also was a smoker. I quit at the age of 35, after smoking for 18 years. Hope my lungs have recovered a little.

I’m glad that you are receiving more calls on your web. Talking of Windows, I’m about to make some changes on my PC. Yesterday I ordered a new HD (Western Digital, 500 GB) to replace actual disk (Seagate, same capacity, only 100 GB used...). It is two years old and tests told me that is in regular conditions, not 100% good and has a bad sector. So before something happens…

I don’t like Windows 7, I have it in a small laptop and definitely I don’t like it! I haven’t seen Windows 8 yet, but my big problem is, as some of you know,  that I still working with dBase which is DOS based. It works perfect with XP, but this OS, as you said, is discontinued.

Any suggestion?

I rarely work on web these days.  And aWebWench.com sees very little traffic. Mostly working as tutor for adults in their own home.  I REALLY enjoy it. Helping people use their iPads, phones, computers, tablets, ereaders, gps, dvd, vcr, learn how to use email, attachments, photos, twitter, etc.  I don't charge a lot so I try for as many appointments as I can each week. The newspaper ads cost, but they also bring me clients so I must do them.  My oldest client was 93 so far!!  She did GREAT!  :TUP:   :clapping:

Tony Windows 7 is MUCH nicer to work on than Windows 8!  Sorry to hear you don't like it.
I expect your version of dBase would run on Windows 7. It supports MANY things that Windows 8 (& 8.1) do not.
:banghead: :whip: :banghead: :repair:
Windows 8 is half tablet and half computer software. It is a nightmare, with a split personality. Really confusing for most people. (Which is good for me!  :TUP:).  Swipe from top to bottom of window to close it, a desktop side with no start menu, and a "pretty" "new" START TILES side that opens windows without an X to close them.  Internet Explorer hides tabs and address bar... and far more confusing things. SO GLAD that Windows 8.1 latest update brings back many things Microsoft took away for over a year!   FINALLY gave users the ability to close windows with X in upper right corner of window like XP. And shut down the computer easily.  :repair:
Sadly, many Windows 8 computers can not go UP to Windows 8.1 (even though Microsoft offers it for free).  The computer manufacturers are not providing drivers for some computer models so some of my clients are STUCK with the really bad version of Windows 8.

I am surprised you have to replace your drive so quickly.  Did you have bad shut-downs that caused corruptions?  Have you taken an electric jolt from a storm or something like that? I plug into a battery-backup to limit the spikes in electric current. Need that here...LOTS of storms.

Sami, thank you for letting me know about Windows 8, now I know that I should stay away from it    :TUP:
I really hate to work on the small laptop  (10”) which has W-7, it is EXTREMELY SLOW, ok, it has only 2 GB of RAM (can’t be expanded) and a 250 GB of HD. Any time that I click or hit Enter I’d better do anything else, because the wait for a response or screen change is agonizing. And changing every time from XP to W-7 is not funny.

I use it as a backup of the big one, but I mostly use it in the workshop to be notified when I get an e-mail or simple put a working background music on YouTube. I always think to replace it for a bigger one, but when time comes there are always other priorities…

I’m convinced that it is a good idea to replace the HD when it is still working, even if this is not in my actual case, where tests say that something is not completely good. I think that it is the same as periodically revise and change the oil in your car; you do it for maintenance purposes, not for a damage. Remember that, at the end, a HD is a mechanical objet which spins at more than 5000 RPM every day during years! And not to mention the fragility of the small heads… Today's relative low prices in confront with the time and headache saver well worth it.

Could dBase runs on W-8? On the small laptop with W-7 it works, but with a ¼ of screen, I haven’t find a way to enlarge it to a full screen.

Sami, my desktop PC runs XP, and also an old laptop, which is dedicated to controlling my model train layout. I am thinking to ditch both of them (they are both old), buy a new ultrabook to use as my everyday, everything, computer, and use my current laptop (W7) to run my trains, and also as a backup PC.

If I buy a new ultrabook/notebook, it will certainly run W8. So I note your point to make sure it is 8.1. I want that ultrabook to be lightweight, slim, but fast and powerful. Probably a 13" screen would be best. (My current W7 laptop is a bit of a brick to lug around, and I travel quite a bit!). I have been travelling sometimes with only my iPad mini, which is great, but certainly has some limitations.

Could you give me your recommendation on what would be a good ultrabook/notebook to buy, or at least, what would be your spec recommendations? I also don't do much web work these days, so I no longer need the power for fancy graphics. I just want a fast, nice-to-use, easy to carry, notebook PC for general use. Also, I notice these days, some have a touch screen. What do you think of that option?

Can you attach a monitor to this laptop?  I used a second monitor often. Do you have a monitor port on side or back of laptop? or HDMI port that can connect to a tv/monitor?  You could connect bigger screen to computer when you want to work in dBase on the small computer.  Just an idea.  I do that if working in big excel file so I can see more columns.   :D

As I mentioned before, Microsoft FINALLY gave us back the X to close windows and easy shutdown option on the "metro" (new) side of windows 8.1!   YAY!!!  This update (combined with previous) makes windows 8 much more better.  I am now telling my mother it is time to upgrade...

Touch screens on laptops/desktops. It costs extra for this option.

Tablets & Phones: YES. No doubt.
ALL IN ONE:  touch screen is convenient.  This works well in restaurants, etc where waiters walk by, chose something onscreen to add to an order, etc then leave.   Touch doesn't work as well in home, using as standard desktop unit.

Laptop and Desktop in a home and business (desk) environment, most people forget they have touch.  They use a keyboard to write letters, emails, spreadsheets, surf the web, watch YouTube, Netflix, etc. Hands are down.  To use TOUCH screen you must lift arm constantly. This gets tiresome so most people I work with choose to ignore the TOUCH screen, then forget they have it till someone points to something on the screen. Surprise! 
:ss-shocked:  :D rofl 

Functionality of TOUCH screen on laptop is also redundant for most people. And not so practical.  Windows 8 brought in the SWIPE from top to bottom to close a window. This worked on TOUCH screens for the tablets just fine.  But people using mouse had to do same movement while holding the left mouse button. It was not practical for touchpad or mouse movement so Windows just brought back the X to close windows. Much quicker and easier, even in TOUCH environment. Remember that monitors are bigger than tablets.  Swiping 4 to 6 inches is different than constantly swiping 10 inches or more.  Tiresome. Tedious.

A tablet is in your hands, or next to your hands, and laptop screen is separated from your hands.  Using TOUCH on a tablet (ipad, kindle fire, Surface, etc) makes sense. On Laptop it is an extra option.  The windows 8.1 machine I have (Toshiba) came in 2 models, with and without TOUCH.  After working with so many people, hearing their comments and using their equipment, I found I could save the money easily and was not tempted by it at all. I do not regret that decision on a laptop. 

Bottom line for ME...laptop does not need TOUCH screen for MOST applications. Save the money. Choose larger drive, more ram, more speed. You get more use for your money than the TOUCH option.

Hope that helps Rick....

Reference.....
   Desktop:  stationary box CPU with external Monitor, keyboard, Mouse.
   ALL-IN-ONE:  CPU hard drive is in the large stationary Monitor, external keyboard and mouse.
   Laptop: Portable Folding L shaped machine with monitor connected to keyboard.
   Tablet:  small hand-held screen that acts as monitor and keyboard in one.  Even some "phones" qualify in this category if large enough. (Ipad, kindle fire, surface, and so many brands)

Yes, I had attached the small laptop to my TV via HDMI to see some films. Never used to work.

Guys, right now I'm really disappointed.  :verysad: Some minutes ago I’ve finished the clone copy of my C: drive to a new one hoping that the SLOW (very slow) startup would be fixed… No, it didn’t.  :verysad:

I'm writing this post using the new disc just to test if the copy was OK.  I’ removed the wires from original C: and plugged in the recent copied disc. It booted OK and so far, regardless the slow startup, I haven’t seen any problem.
It stuck when the desktop image appears. It stays there for almost three minutes I haven't measured exact time, but if you wait watching the screen it takes an eternity!! The background image has been changed several times, just in case…[/i]

It lasts 4 ½ hours to clone it, there was only one Read Error and the program said that the copy was not 100% ok (I don’t remember the exact wordsof the message) and recommended a chkdsk.

What do you say guys, should I leave this new disc or go back and connect the old one?    :-\

Tony, I have never done a clone copy of the complete hard drive, including operating system, and then replaced it directly as you have done. (I think)

Normally I would install the new hard drive, reinstall the operating system from CD, which gives you a clean install without carrying over problems you may have had before, which could have been causing the slowness.

Then reinstall your various programs, data files etc. I know that is a much more laborious process, but you start off with a new PC (software, not hardware) which has more chance of running sweetly.

Let's see what Sami thinks.

Sami, thanks for the advice on laptops, particularly re touch screen. I think your advice is sound.

time



Yes Rick, I also had considered that, but restart a PC from scratch is a big-BIG task, mainly because of programs installed…
It is the first time I do a clone, but I think that it makes a mirror copy of the original, thus copying everything, including errors.
Right now, I’m still working with the copy, I imagine that all I’ve done since yesterday, including the mails received are not visible on the old disc, so I’m considering to keep working with this copy, at least is 1 ½ years younger and it has a five years warranty.

Meanwhile, I posted the problem in which I consider one of the most capacitated forum on the web on this matter: h**p://forums.majorgeeks.com/ to see if they help me, as they had done in other occasions, with the startup slowness.

Thanks Rick and let's wait for the Sami's opinions.
Title: Re: Word Association Game

Time flies when you are having fun.

I used to run clones in the old server at the office.  One drive dies, swap to exact duplicate and keep moving forward.  I don't have that software available at home.

Rick is right that if you start at the beginning, load operating system, drivers then move files you will have cleaner results on the new drive. Takes longer, but you don't inherit problems.

If you do want to clone instead, you need to be sure the original drive is clean and repaired BEFORE you make the copy.

Then run software that cleans system of adware or malware, etc. (Like Malwarebytes free or SUPERAntiSpyware free). These are put in, run, then deleted. They get rid of trash that can slow your computer and internet connection.  Be Careful with Registry Cleaners like CCleaner (also free). CCleaner is good. But if used wrong can take out too much and cause worse problems.

Run system check (chkdisk), run repair on the drive, defragment, etc. Then check your startup programs. Do you NEED everything to start when you start the computer?
Then you are ready to make the clone.  It will be as clean as you can make it.

If you clone before you clean the drive, you bring all the problems from the old drive to the new drive.

If it takes a long time to start up, you may have a driver that is not loading properly.
(I have a SOUND driver that gives me problems.  I updated it and have less problems. I think my sound card is not seated tight in this laptop...) Or you may have a bad sector on the drive.  If you have a bad sector, I'm not sure that cloning is a good idea.

I'm not sure which drive I would use Tony.
Probably put the old drive in and try to fix the problems, then clone again.

Thank you Sami.
At the time you wrote your post the cloning was already done. Tests had told me that the old disc has a bad sector, so I decided to go further. I cleaned it the best I could before cloning. It went through  without any problem. After that, I took the old C:, ran DBAN on it to remove all data and at last I did a Low Format to use it as a second disc for backup purposes.
It took the whole day to do this two things, but everything ran OK, now the second disc is recognized by the BIOS but not by the OS.
I think there is something else I must do to let the OS “see” this second unit.  ???
Both discs are SATA, so there is no problem with master and slave jumpers…

Startup slowness still present    :(

I think if you do it my way, you will find you no longer need many of the programs and other stuff you currently have on your PC. It will run faster and more smoothly than before, and without all the malware etc which accumulates. It is the closest thing to a new PC.

Usually I only reinstall the frequently used programs, and then add others only when and if a need arises.

Thank you Rick, I try to keep as clean/empty my PC as possible, as well as out of malware, junkware, etc. but you know that, when you work online, this is a endless war.
Consider that I'm using only 100GB out of 500 available on disc, and yes, even though I admit to have some programs installed that I never use or just used once…
I will accept your advice to get rid of them.

There's a big difference between
  - not installing software (as Rick mentioned) until needed, and
  -  uninstalling software.
Uninstalling leaves traces, pieces of itself behind. Registry entries stay behind.  Installing fresh and bringing machine UP ensures that the registry is cleaner, with less start up problems.

At this point I've little to do.
All I can do is use IObit Uninstaller, which makes a deep scan (at request) after run uninstall to take off all traces left by programs.

Rick also said that he installs some programs when needed to take them off when finished. So he is also leaving traces and pieces behind...  :-\

Guys, I think you will agree with me that today to keep a PC completly CLEAN is VERY dificult, to not say IMPOSSIBLE.   :(

heads

Tony, just to clarify: I did not intend to imply that I remove programs when finished. I rarely do that.

What I mean is: when doing a clean re-install of the operating system, I only install those programs which I use frequently. I have bought heaps of software which I rarely use these days, so I only install those when the time comes that I have a specific need for it. But I usually don't uninstall it afterwards.

cyclone

We never have hurricanes here, but we have cyclones! What about typhoones (from the Chinese "tai feng" - strong wind)?

From the US National Ocean Service:

Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same weather phenomenon; we just use different names for these storms in different places. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, the term “hurricane” is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a “typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.

The ingredients for these storms include a pre-existing weather disturbance, warm tropical oceans, moisture, and relatively light winds. If the right conditions persist long enough, they can combine to produce the violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains, and floods we associate with this phenomenon.

Jim Nabors often appeared on the Carol Burnett Show, considered to be a classic "Variety Show".

Rick, I gathered my files from several sites, and sadly, many are no longer online. 
I will check which still exist.
So glad I downloaded a bunch when I did.

I could UPLOAD mp3 or zipped files to a folder for you on Samisite or AWW space.  I think I have the external drive here.... I really enjoy Vincent Price pieces, his voice is quite entertaining.

One of my FAVORITE sites is still online!
OTRR (Researcher group) tracks down and certifies the programs. 
They have a 10GB per MONTH limit that is strictly enforced. Check the certified series here: 
http://www.otrr.org/releases/links_current_by_title.php

the SAINT is missing many episodes so it isn't on that list.
OTRR provides individual MP3 file links here:  http://otrrlibrary.org/s.html

"The OTRR Library has more than 85,000 individual episodes from nearly 2,000 series for you to download. The OTRR Library is updated on a regular basis, with new series, new episodes, or better encodes. "

Another site I liked alot is gone, but they became a community where people discuss OTR, old movies, old tv programs, actors, etc.  Used to be open to any, now by invitation only.  Would you like an invitation?  I became a member in 2010.    The site is TIMES PAST http://timespast.ning.com/

A favorite site I used to visit has gone on and offline a few times.  They have taken content down, then back up.  One PAID site was trying to force them to fold, saying they were interferring with the PAID OTR service by offering the files for free.  The free site said that the PAID site had not legal right to lock out hundreds of radio shows from listeners and require a subscription since the shows were not copyrighted, or "owned" by the PAID site.  Unfortunately the PAID site had more MONEY to fight the battle.   :verysad: :'( :(

speed

Local police often set SPEED traps to make money from people passing through town. Local people know to slow down in the area, but visitors don't. So they get a ticket. 

CONGRATS!! That sounds like a terrific machine.  NICE specs!!! And with you traveling, the weight must be wonderful.  I'm glad you are enjoying your new baby. Win 8.1 is so much better than 8, very useable.  :flowers: :bdballoon: :flowers: :bdballoon: :flowers:  Doubt you will ever miss the touch screen. 

I bought a new phone yesterday. Had to do it. The antique I was using has been limping for about a year and a half. Its final strange trick:   Notify of incoming call...show number...show name... And NO WAY to answer the call! (or to reject).   :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: I sat helplessly as my phone rang and I could do nothing about it.

I decided to reach as far as I could and get the new Samsung S5 (android) phone, with a two year contract so my cost drops down. Haven't been in a contract since 2009, but no other choice... Today I ran all day on a single charge, used the GPS with Google Maps and Navigation for HOURS and still had enough battery to download updates!  While driving with GPS & Maps on, I got incoming call and the phone did not lock up.  What a pleasure!!! I use GPS/Maps constantly these days to get to clients homes. Google allows me to STAR my locations so the map looks like it is a star chart!  I considered an iphone.  I LOVE iphones. But it came down to BATTERY time and RAM.  Samsung won this time.  So this weekend I will be setting it up the way I want, testing new apps, and "moving into" my new best buddy...

Tony I got the new samsung galaxy S5.
Could never afford this thing if the phone company required complete purchase! 
I pay 33% of phone cost when I sign a contract requiring me to stay with that carrier for 2 years.

2.5GHz quad-core CPU,
2GB of RAM,
a 2800mAh (removable/replaceable) battery,
16 GB of memory on board
(with up to 128GB extra through microSD not included),
one of the world's most vibrant screens 5.1-inches
Newest samsung
Newest most secure android operating system (kitkat)
I am getting 10+ hours of active phone/gps time with very active use. 
They say longer than that..and a couple days on standby.
Can talk on phone and go on web or gps mapping/navigation
Not biggest screen, but is much larger than I had before

Rick, I am a BIG fan of iphones, ipad, imac.  Think they are well designed and easy to.use, reset, reload, backup.  This time, the battery was my biggest issue. So iphone couldnt compete.  I was holding out hoping that 6 would be better, but my old p hi one just couldnt hang in anymore...

I doubt iphone has that setting. We have different kinds of display screens.  Built differently.

The black/white feature is perfect for Android AMOLED display on the Samsung phones.  Phone uses far less energy to display BLACK pixels than any other type of display.
Quote
Because when the background is black, those pixels are turn off to make the black color and it consume less power(similar to Moto X "Active Display" feature).

So setting on Black/White is a real battery saver, even while allowing all the apps to run normally. I also have downloaded a true BLACK wallpaper image. (not very pretty so may not use it...) if I decide to not use the power save that turns it black/white.
Quote
Because AMOLED displays can be lit up pixel by pixel, black is ''true'' black because there is no back-lighting. This also means AMOLED displays are easier on your battery because every pixel is not always lit up.

I have my KINDLE APP set to black with white text:
Quote
There's other things AMOLED owners can do to maximize their battery life too, like setting as many app themes to be as dark as possible. If you can change the appearance of a bunch of apps you use frequently (or download a different app that does the same thing but that does allow appearance customization), you can save even more battery life. After all, we don't spend all day on our home screens but more time in apps. You can also set your text and email preferences to be black background and white text, depending on your device and chosen apps.

I LOVE the Power Save Mode (can be manually adjusted) and use it for at least part of each day.  At 10:38pm I still have 45% power after running bluetooth, maps and other features today on black/white power save mode!  :clapping: Phone also has an ULTRA power save that basically turns off all functions except phone and texting. (like and emergency mode, stretch that last bit of battery life)

I watched some old and new sketches of Allo Allo. Is a wonderful comedy, it is a pity that I can’t understand everything. They will probably translate it and play it in Italy, but it will never be the same. The best part is the accents how the actors talk. Same thing happened with The Benny Hill Show, which I have seen in Spanish and Italian.

From Wiki:

The term lunatic derives from the Latin lunaticus which originally referred mainly to epilepsy and "madness" as diseases caused by the Moon.[3] By the fourth and fifth centuries astrologers began to commonly use the term to refer to neurological and psychiatric diseases.[3] Philosophers such as Aristotle and Pliny the Elder argued that the full Moon induced insane individuals with bipolar disorder by providing light during nights which would otherwise have been dark, and affecting susceptible individuals through the well-known route of sleep deprivation.[4] Through at least 1700 it was also a common belief that the Moon influenced fevers, rheumatism, episodes of epilepsy and other diseases.[

Can plants feel pain? Some vegetarians say they only eat vegetables because they don't accept killing animals. But they don't mind chopping the head off a carrot. How do they know the carrot doesn't feel pain? Just be we humans didn't yet discover how plants feel pain, doesn't mean they don't feel pain.

Am I too controversial? Haha

ordered a new old computer today on black friday for a good price to replace my tired old win 7 that just doesn't want to wake up.  the new machine is less than what I had, but still decent:
win 7, 15.6 inches, intel i5 dual core processor (I had quad core). Has nice size hard drive, very basic empty system with poor speakers but has a dvd drive  :TUP: (so many don't these days). no special software, no office, no VGA plug so to use an external monitor, I have to use an adapter.  Thats ok.. it was lowest price I could find, and not a refurbish. extra $ off due to black Friday sale. Should get it sometime next week.  I cant be without a computer so had to do something.

Hoping I can get the tired old system up and running a couple more times, for backup and unregistering of Adobe software so it can be put on the new system.

I read that the original passion fruit is native to South America. Apparently our Australian variety came from there. Here is a quote from Wikipedia:

Several distinct varieties of passion fruit with clearly differing exterior appearances exist.[2] The bright yellow flavicarpa variety, also known as the Golden Passion Fruit, can grow up to the size of a grapefruit, has a smooth, glossy, light and airy rind, and has been used as a rootstock for the Purple Passion Fruit in Australia.[2] The dark purple edulis variety is smaller than a lemon, though it is less acidic than the yellow passion fruit, and has a richer aroma and flavour.

Two died completely, the other two are acting badly. One of them has a monitor that is so sensitive I can't plug it in with anything else or I get duplication of text and images. Can't use it at all, for any reason for a couple days till it dissipates the extra interference. That machine also has BATTERY issues. Sometimes charges, sometimes not. The 'new' dell I bought at the end of the year to replace my old good Dell is finally up and running, but not loaded yet. I am typing on it. It had to be repaired (boring story skipped here) before I could move into it (under warranty). My mother's XP desktop is acting up so we have a win8 basic laptop for her, when I can get to it and can move her own data over....

What I have learned recently:
- DON'T by a SAMSUNG laptop.  Just Don't do it, no matter how good the deal is. really bad experience and others are now reporting the same type problems as I have...
- Make sure you have backups!  Tony taught me that even when you have a mirror, you can lose data. So external backups are very important.  I have spent so much time loading, reloading, copying, installing over the last two months, only to have to re-do it due to hardware issues and system resets.
- You gentlemen are wonderful. THANK YOU for waiting for me.   :flowers:

Hey... At work today, our IT guru showed me his copy of the new Windows operating system.  Looks like windows 7 with just a dash of 8.  They went back to a start menu on a desktop. The start menu has a miniature set of TILES that mimic windows 8.1. Three good things: Ability to turn off tablet mode (the METRO/TILES) from windows 8.1, the elimination of the wacky METRO version of Internet Explorer, and extra Desktops (like what Mac can do) look like Microsoft is finally going in the right track again...From what I saw today, anyone used to Win 7 would be comfortable with the new version.   :TUP:

Tony, it is not a new version of Windows on the market yet....still under development and testing by Microsoft. They usually make beta versions available to external testers to try out.

It sounds interesting Sami....finally might be a version of Windows without so many complaints.

Yes. Rick is right. 8.1 is on sale now.
Microsoft has released to TESTERS a new beta version to help identify bugs.
My IT person has a system running a prototype. It is not ready for sale yet.
My few minutes left me saying...that's what version 8 should have been!
The settings page is goofy, but original control panel is still included.

Scuse...excuse... Same to me  :TUP: use any time, except in change one thing word game  ;)  :D

bakery

One of my delights as a kid walking to school was to walk past the bakery, with the smell of delicious bread. I still remember the bakers loading their horse-drawn carts preparing for their bread delivery. Occasionally I would go in and buy a half-loaf of still-steaming bread, and eat it from the inside, leaving the crust.

Crazy Horse (Lakota: Tašúŋke Witkó in Standard Lakota Orthography,[2] IPA:tχaʃʊ̃kɛ witkɔ), literally "His-Horse-Is-Crazy";[3] c. 1840 – September 5, 1877) was a Native American war leader of the Oglala Lakota. He took up arms against the U.S. Federal government to fight against encroachments on the territories and way of life of the Lakota people, including leading a war party to victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876

What I do not understand is how did "The Big Bang Theory" won so many awards being such a ridiculous sitcom.
May be it's me? May be the Italian translation? May be the culture's difference?  nevertheless, besides the actuations, personages, etc. a "joke" in every sentence seems absurd to me, and so are the laughs they put on the back. I only saw the first episodes. To laughing, I rather prefer the cartoons The Family Guy ("I Griffin" in Italy) or American Dad or The Cleveland Show  ;)

Mother Nature is incredibly smart:

"The concentration of oxygen dissolved in water is much lower than the air (less than 1% against about 21%), then the gills should be more efficient of the lungs to extract all the oxygen possible. For this reason the water in the gills (and the air in the lungs of birds) flows in the opposite direction of the blood, thereby maintaining a difference of concentration gradient. With this system the fish extract more than 80% of the dissolved oxygen, while in the lungs of mammals there is a theoretical limit of 50% which in reality is never reached."

Tony, starting Tuesday, I am going on a trip for two months in Australia's remote outback areas. We are travelling by 4WD from the east coast to the west coast, directly across through the centre of Australia, which is mostly desert. The roads there are mostly just dirt tracks, and we will travel sometimes for several days without seeing any other people. We are going together with another couple, so we will have two 4WD vehicles for safety. We will also carry a satellite phone.

So there will be times when I will not have internet connection, so I will be missing from the forum sometimes.

Whisky Sour is a popular cocktail drink.

We arrived today at a place where we have internet. It is in the very centre of the Australian continent. Mostly desert here. We have travelled the last few days on a rough dirt track called the Oodnadatta Track.

A few days later we will set off again, heading further west on another rough remote track through the desert, reaching the west coast after about a week. So we wont have internet during those days.

Crodo

Today we will leave Alice Springs, and drive west to the west coast of Australia. Much of the way, we will drive on a small, rough, dirt track called the Gary Junction Road. Maybe you can try to find it. We will have nothing but desert for most of the way, But I have been told the desert is really beautiful, with many different, colourful wild flowers. We have to take all our water with us, and have very few places we can get fuel, so we have extra fuel with us.

Then finally, before we reach the coast, we will arrive at a beautiful place called Karijini National Park. For sure you can find that one.

Our plan is to arrive to the coast around August 18. Until then, we will not have phone or internet. But we do have a satellite phone with us to contact family sometimes, and in case of emergency. We will see few other people or cars in that time.

Talk to you again soon!  :)

"D" as in Domodossola

Crodo is a town in Province of Domodossola.
Domodossola is used by Italians when they spell the letter 'D' ( as Napoli for the 'N', Roma for the 'R', etc...)
'D' in Spanish is Dinamarca (Denmark)
What do you use for the letter 'D'?


I found the Gary Junction Road on the map. You are in the middle of nowhere! It is really a long and straight road! be careful not to fall asleep when driving!
I also found the beatiful Karijini National Park. Enjoy it, you deserve it after that long journey.    :TUP:
Title: Re: Word Association Game
Post by: hidden on August 11, 2015, 07:09:42 PM
delta

We use "delta" for the letter D.

Aha, there is no chance of falling asleep on the Gary Junction road! It is a rough bush track, with lots of dust, holes, corrugations, and deep sand. It is deep in the desert, so the road often went over high sand hills. There we only three small towns all the way, occupied by small Aboriginal communities. We had to buy our fuel there, sometimes at twice the normal city price, and we also took extra fuel with us in "jerry cans", because those towns are far apart.

Now we have arrived at some civilisation: the small town of Marble Bar. It has a pub called the Iron Clad Hotel. It was nice to have a cold beer there!

So now we are out of the desert, and will go to Karijini today and stay there several days.

Now we are on our way from Karijini to the west Australian coast. Last night we stayed at Nanutarra Roadhouse. These kinds of roadhouse are common in outback Australia. There you can get fuel, buy some limited provisions, and usually they have a camping place where you can park your car and caravan, and get a shower.

Today we will travel the remaining 400km to the coast, and stay in a caravan park there for 4 days. It will be a good rest.

After that we will travel down the coast to Perth. Then travel across the Nullarbor desert, finally arriving back home to Sydney about one month later. But the big adventure of crossing the desert has been completed. All the rest of the trip is by normal roads, mostly in populated areas. This is except the trip across the Nullarbor desert, which is very isolated, but it is a good black road, and easy driving.

Here is a pic of one of our camps in the desert. I took the photo from the sky with my quadcopter:

I watched an interesting video about Nanutarra Roadhouse on YouTube. Amazing! It is in the middle of nowhere! Thanks God there still exist people that believe in this kind of business. There is a high price to pay for these benefits, in terms of lonely and being far away of everything.

There is still a long way to finish your adventure, but you have already done a half of it. Keep going safely.

Nice photo, it silently reflects your expedition.

Yes! Nanuturra Roadhouse is really in the middle of nowhere! We rely a lot on this kind of roadhouse in Australia, for travelling in the remote areas. You are right, it is lucky there are people willing to conduct this kind of business.

Yesterday, we changed our plans. The weather was terrible! Strong wind and rain for the next few days, in the places we were planning to go.

So we decided to cut out those two places (bad luck about the oysters!), and now head directly to home for the last few days. Yesterday, I drove more than 600km, with wind and rain - not fun!

If you want to follow us, last night we stayed at Port Germein, today going to Renmark, then tomorrow to Hay (in NSW), then next day to Gundagai. The following day will be our last day - firstly, we will travel to our son's home in Tarago. We leave our caravan there, because he has a large property for horses (about 50 hectares), so plenty of space. We live in an apartment in Sydney, with no place to store the caravan. After leaving the caravan in Tarago, we will continue on to Sydney - home after about 7 weeks.  :)

1421

Have you read the book "1421 The Year China Discovered the World"? It is a very interesting book about Chinese maritime history. It suggests America (and also Australia) was discovered by the Chinese hundreds of years before Columbus. In fact, it suggests Columbus (and also Magellan), used Chinese maps during their voyages of discovery.

However the Chinese were not colonisers like the British and Europeans. They were looking for trade. So when they found nothing there, they moved on.

So was Columbus really lucky, or did he have help from the Chinese maps? Interesting book.

In history, we will never know how the events occurred in reality.
Each country (or person or group of people) writes it to his own convenience.


Never read that book Rick, it sounds interesting. Who knows if there is a version in Spanish or Italian.
I do believe that there was someone else before Columbus. I heard that the Vikings also came to that shores of North America long before Chinese and Columbus.

Today, every country has his own Mafia, only that is called in a different way.
"Mafiosi" are criminal organizations based on racquet, extortions, drugs, money laundering, prostitution, etc. In fact, there are many organizations “Mafiose” in Italy, but they are merely criminal organizations, same as those in other countries (some are 'white collars'), but Italians like to call them “Mafiosi” or “Mafia”. ANY criminal association here is called "Mafia", regardless its number of associates or type of crime to which are dedicated.
It is good, because let people of the world to talk about the country, some kind of contorted tourism.    ;)

I think the American dream is somewhat shaky these days....mass shootings, unemployment, media

But America is certainly not alone. Troubles are everywhere. Are you sure you want to be in the future? Maybe the best times have already passed.

barbarians

I discovered that everything happens in cycles. Here is a quote from Wiki:

"The two most famous conquistadors were Hernán Cortés who conquered the Aztec Empire and Francisco Pizarro who led the conquest of the Incan Empire. They were second cousins born in Extremadura, as were many of the Spanish conquerors. Catholic religious orders that participated and supported the exploration, evangelizing and pacifying, were mostly Dominicans, Carmelites, Franciscans and Jesuits"

Catholics and other Christians openly supported conquering and invasion of other civilisations, by force.

Now, we have IS, and we don't like it!

Are all of humanity simply barbarians?

Our dear friend Sami has been gone from Samisite for more than one year now. Unfortunately we don't know what has happened to her, and can only speculate. All attempts to contact her have been unsuccessful. We can only assume that something tragic has happened.

Sami has done a wonderful job to establish and maintain Samisite for many years. Well done Sami!!

Only two of us have remained as regular users of Samisite forum. Sadly, it is time to say goodbye to participation in Samisite and the games here on the forum.

Bye bye Sami, wherever you are.
