These are good clues. You unch of net lamers, look it up. If you do, you will find that Bluebonnets are in the lupine family, and that there are many colors of bluebonnet, including white and pink. However, you would never find any self-respecting Sacred Flower of Texas living in Maine soil, so they couldn't be that. The early geese, early flowers, and today I noticed early mesquite shoots, all point to an unpredictable climate this year. Down here we have thousands of citrus trees still laden with last year's crop, and covered with blossoms. This will effectively make harvesting the rest of the crop impossible because you dan't do so without disturbing the blossoms. -aht From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Feb 21 21:31:09 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id VAA24649 for ; Sat, 21 Feb 1998 21:31:08 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802220331.VAA24649@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.8DF99790@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 21 Feb 1998 23:29:28 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 4454; Sat, 21 Feb 1998 23:28:15 -0500 Date: Sat, 21 Feb 1998 23:29:16 EST Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Mary Saviola Subject: Re: good sign To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Another sign of spring - My husband and I and some friends attended a golf swap meet today. ms From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Feb 21 21:33:31 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id VAA24702 for ; Sat, 21 Feb 1998 21:33:30 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802220333.VAA24702@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.E239E3F0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 21 Feb 1998 23:31:50 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 4595; Sat, 21 Feb 1998 23:30:37 -0500 Date: Sat, 21 Feb 1998 20:31:46 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Karen Kay Subject: Re: Bluebonnets?

All of this could lead to food shortages of many kinds. Besides your citrus, there obviously will be a shortfall in many crops from California. I saw a wheat farmer out there whose fields are under water and he won't be able to plant more for this season. And now they're saying our apple crop for '98 could be affected because there hasn't been the necessary cold for the trees. The maple sugar production for New York State is only 10% of normal because so many trees were destroyed in the big ice storm up north last month, just before they were to be tapped. It will take 20-30 years to get back to former production levels. Doris?

The Texas state posey is {Lupinus subcarnosus}, which is restricted to the eastern and southern part of the state. A more showy and important prairie species is {L. texensis}, which grows taller (60 cm as opposed to ca. 35). Strictly speaking the bluebonnet a lupine (presumably, those finding themselves in Texas changed their name in an attempt to avoid embarrassing the rest of the family); there are four such lupine species in Texas. The flowers of the bluebonnet are smaller and less showy than are the flowers of the lupine, e.g., {Lupinus perennis}. Presumably, your picture gave the BB all the justice it deserved. The photo in the Audobon Field Guide shows the BB to be a rather washed-out blue relative to the rich hue of the lupine. Moreover, the photo of the BB is more of a closeup--the resulting "magnification" makes its flowers look nearly as large as those of the noble lupine--more Texan chicanery, I suspect. cwv From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sun Feb 22 07:29:42 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id HAA03390 for ; Sun, 22 Feb 1998 07:29:41 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802221329.HAA03390@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.2CCB2930@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; 22 Feb 1998 9:28:03 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 4037; Sun, 22 Feb 1998 09:26:50 -0500 Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 06:26:26 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Betty Clark Subject: Olympic Commercials To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Espen, did you get to see the commercial of this Norwegian peasant using his laptop in the middle of the night to check Olympic results?

I said. Here they are: OVERIMAGINATIVE UNIMAGINATIVELY There are a few other 15-letter words with a perfect sequence of alternating vowels and consonants, but they're almost all obscure. I liked these because they were built on a common root.

Note a passing reference to a namesake of the Sage of Okoboji: "'Sister Carrie,' a cause celebre in American letters, is not that great a book, it must be said. Even if you pass over Dreiser's clunky Darwinian lectures, his schoolmarmish asides about psychology and morals, you have to conclude that this is no 'Anna Karenina.' Nobody would confuse this with Dickens. It isn't even James T. Farrell. It is a work of historical interest, like 'Winesburg, Ohio,' but I'd find it hard to assign these works to students -- there simply are so few moments when these dreary figures show flickers of life."

(URLwire Web Site News 20 Feb 98) ============================================== WEB RANKINGS FOR SALE Internet entrepreneur Bill Gross is funding a new venture called Go.To.Com, which offers a radical new approach to Web search services. Traditional search engines, such as Yahoo! and Lycos, have been criticized because too much of the material they deliver is irrelevant to the original search request. Go.To.Com's strategy to responding to queries is based on the idea of ranking the list in order of advertising dollars received, so that if someone searches on the word "flowers," for instance, the floral service that paid the most would be listed first. Gross points out that the same strategy is used in the Yellow Pages, where companies that pay the most for the largest ads get the prominent positions. "It's a stockmarket for attention," says Gross. "I think it's going to change the marketplace forever."

You can freeze the cake, but you can't freeze the relationship right where it was on that very day and have it stay that way. Guess you wouldn't want to. That is, you want it to grow and change, but hopefully not go in the wrong direction. - D. M.

And my parents are both definitely midwesterners, despite years of living in California and overseas. And I went to college for two years in St. Paul, which has probably contributed the most to my ability to enjoy the monologues. (As I've mentioned before, I loved the cold and the snow, although I have to admit I never had to shovel snow, nor drive in it.) But I think I know what Richard is reacting to: there is a dark undercurrent of alienation that runs through much of Keillor's work. I'd say that his humor is fundamentally about misunderstandings, usually mutual, usually involving some degree of embarrassment and/or emotional pain, and usally told from the point of view of the person who is most embarrassed. If one is uncomfortable with thinking about alienation, or for whatever reason just doesn't find it funny, PHC is not going to be one's cup of tea. I have to admit that I stopped listening during the American Radio Company period. His monologues were just too dark, without any--dare I say it?--silver lining. Nowadays, I only listen about half the time. Sometimes, I have better things to do on Saturday evenings. And sometimes I'll even turn it off in the middle of the show. (Bob, the angst-ridden artist, is a one-joke shtick that should have been retired long ago. I automatically turn off the radio for fifteen minutes when I hear the violin music.) But lots of his old stuff, and lots of his new stuff, still leaves me chuckling. Between the musical humor--The Young Lutheran's Guide to the Orchestra is a classic for the ages--and the wordplay, there's a lot for me to enjoy.

I agree. When I listened to him I sometimes had the notion that "Giants in the Earth" was the most formative printed influence on his life. It seemed that he tried to attack the black soul core with a wistful smartassery, and I think he often succeeded in getting the cathartic laugh. Oddly, he reminded me in some ways of Lenny Bruce. > I'd >say that his humor is fundamentally about misunderstandings, usually >mutual, usually involving some degree of embarrassment and/or emotional >pain, and usally told from the point of view of the person who is most >embarrassed. Pat and Mike; Izzy and Golda; Liza and Rastus; Eastern Europeans, no matter how heroic. Maybe it's the soul of all humor. If a man walks around the banana peel, nothing funny has happened. Somebody ought to do a little essay on your point about the humor being relayed from the viewpoint of the one most hurt. It seems to me that technique may vitiate the sting while preserving some of the truth and some of the humor. > If one is uncomfortable with thinking about alienation, or >for whatever reason just doesn't find it funny, PHC is not going to be >one's cup of tea. I've never been much of a GK fan, although I'd occasionally chuckle with him. Living here, I know many Scandanavians, mostly third generation.

Jim Rosen passed away last Wed., Feb. 18. Aunti Jim Rosen played the blues with grace and passion. He delighted in dirty jokes, Bushmill's Irish Whisky, cowboy movies, old Cadillacs, and a generous network of friends. In the end, even when it was apparent that cancer would cause his death, he refused to let it define a single day of his life. Instead, he treated the disease with amused, dismissive contempt, as if it were little more than a drunken heckler shouting from the back of the room. Only a few people are fortunate enough to find a single occupation that they can love and work at for a lifetime; Jim was one of the lucky ones, and blues harmonica was the thing. He got his first harmonica, a slightly gnawed, hand-me-down Blues Harp, when he was fifteen. During the next fifteen years, he spent thousands of hours woodshedding, poring over the techniques of masters like Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Charlie Musselwhite. As his mastery of the instrument grew, he paid more attention to the compositional architecture of improvisation and began to listen to artists like Lester Young, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, and Miles Davis. He never went to college, but no college could have taught him the things he wanted to learn. By the time he was thirty, when he put together the Mudcats Blues Band, he was a self-assured, mature musician with an encyclopedic knowledge of blues history and repertoire, and a distinctive, immediately recognizable sound. During the twelve years he played with the Mudcats, a run that ended New Year's Eve at the Rudyard Kipling, he never stopped honing his craft, and he never stopped being a bluesman. Before a gig he usually worked on his collection of Lee Oskar Harps: taking them apart, filing and tuning the reeds, and making sure that every component was in perfect order. On stage, he rocked his head slightly from side to side, smiling in appreciation of the sounds his bandmates made or singing in a gravelly voice. When it was time for him to take a solo, he raised his harp with both hands, grasping it like a chalice and bringing it to his lips with obvious joy. He liked to begin with a trumpet-like fanfare of crisply articulated notes, then take a tightly coiled riff and exploit its rhythms and intervals in cascading seamless variations that culminated in impossibly high frequencies. At times he would back the sound down to a whisper and create free-flowing, gently vibrating lullabies. The rooms he played were filled with smoky blue haze, but his vivid brown, almond-shaped eyes easily penetrated the smoke and spoke eloquently to friends, brothers, or pretty girls dancing in the audience. His eyes communicated irony, humor, annoyance, or the simple, sensuous pleasures of basking in the sound of the band. Jim's love of good whiskey was legendary. During the early years of his career, nearly every weekend the blues clubs where he played would run out of Bushmill's (admittedly, Jim's habit of buying shots for anyone in the vicinity was a contributing factor). After a while the bartenders started stocking sufficient quantities to get through the weekend. He called his friends at all hours of the night to pass along dirty jokes about penguins or dwarves, and he especially loved to call his friends when a particularly outrageous musical performance was transpiring on public access TV. He was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and metastatic lung cancer in August 1995, and despite aggressive treatment, including the removal of one kidney and a rigorous course of chemotherapy, the cancer spread. He almost always scheduled his medical treatments, including chemotherapy, so they wouldn't interfere with gigs. Only rarely did his health cause him to miss performances, even when the performances caused him severe discomfort. Last fall, despite the progressive failure of his remaining kidney, he adamantly insisted on playing the Garvin Gate Blues Festival, a festival the Mudcats had played each year since its inception. He intended to play only a few tunes, but wound up playing a full set. Afterwards, he collapsed backstage and was taken by ambulance to University Hospital's Emergency Room. His hospital stints during chemotherapy were more like celebrations than convalescence; Jim's harps were always at the bedside, and on at least one occasion the floor nurses moved him to a larger room to accommodate the streams of visiting friends and musicians coming to call. Even when chemotherapy was no longer a therapeutic option for Jim, the nursing staff in University's chemo unit pulled strings to make sure Jim was admitted to a bed there whenever he required hospital treatment. He returned home for the last time on February 6; a crew of friends and family members (though in Jim's life the distinction between friends and family was utterly meaningless) gave him round-the-clock care. The Saturday before he died, he played the blues in one last impromptu jam session. His forty- second birthday was February 16; he died on February 18, surrounded by friends and family. To the end he was occasionally aware of his surroundings; he was serenely unconcerned about dying and continued to tell stories and hold court for visitors. Even after he lapsed into his final hours of sleep he continued to laugh and smile and occasionally raised his hands to his mouth as if playing the harp or smoking a cigarette. The usual thing when someone dies is for those who didn't know him to express their sympathies to those who did. I think I can speak on behalf of the thousands of people who heard Jim play over the years and on behalf of those closest to him in saying that such sympathies are misplaced. It's the people who never heard him laugh or tell a story, the folks he never called late at night, and the people who never got to hear him bend a note into the next dimension who deserve our sympathies.

He was there with a mutual friend, Scott Mullins, who offered a mild warning before introductions. "Jim's kind of gruff," Mullins said. Now there's an understatement. That's like calling Little Walter an OK harmonica player. Everyone met in Rosen's hotel room before a night on the town. As we were were leaving, Rosen tucked a pistol into his pants. "No ********* way I'm walking around ******** Chicago without my ********* gun," he said in his deep growl, biting off every word. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rosen. Just don't hurt me. Rosen died Wednesday, at home, after cancer had cost him both kidneys. He was a remarkable harmonica player, a music historian and a big reason why the Mudcat Blues Band was one of the most reliable good times Louisville ever produced. Because he's gone, this is where I'm supposed to talk about the heart of gold beneath Rosen's gruff exterior. Well, Rosen was pretty gruff inside, too, if gruff means speaking your mind with little regard to the consequences. You always knew where you stood with Jim, a trait some thought arrogant, but he was just confident in his likes and dislikes. It was one thing I admired most about him. If honesty is golden, then he was too. Rosen's artistry was three-fold. First, he played harmonica like few others. You know that. Everyone who heard him knows that. No matter the context--band, duo, guest spot--you could always count on playing that should have left his harp glowing red from the heat. He was blistering, picking off notes the way Muhammad Ali flicked the jab--with speed, utter authority and maximum impact. Mullins always bragged that Rosen was a good as anyone, anwhere, and he's right. Second, Rosen was a master of the profanity-laced story. He could launch into a ********* anecdote quicker than any you ever knew, and tell it so good and so funny. For all the entertaining quotes he gave me over the years, none compared to those I couldn't print. He painted the walls with profanity, creating sprawling murals of cussing that would get more vivid with each glass of Bushmill's. Third, and maybe most important, Rosen was madly deeply, forever, in love with music. It was what he did, every day. He could talk for hours about jazz and blues, and it was nearly impossible to mention a record or musician that he didn't know. Once, he covered about 40 years of jazz history during a single lunchtime story, just as he used to cover 40 years of blues history in a single solo. The last time I heard from Jim was a couple of weeks ago. He left a message. He'd been in and out of the hospital, losing ground nearly every day, it seemed, but that wasn't important to him. He just wanted to gloat about having gotten a Charlie Parker box set that we both coveted. "Ten CDs, baby. I know you're jealous." I was. I am. I miss him. He'd probably think I'm being a ******** pansy, but I miss him.

Sears. James Abraham "Jim" Rosen, who was the lead singer for the Mudcats Blues Band and whose inventive harmonica playing captivated local audiences and his peers, died Wednesday at his home of cancer. He had turned 42 on Monday. Rosen, a Louisville native, grew up in Jeffersonville, Ind., in a musical family, said his stepmother, Idell Rosen. She married Rosen's father when Jim was 11 and insisted that he and his siblings take piano lessons to learn how to read music, she said yesterday. However, the harmonica became Rosen's passion, and he practiced every day, she said. "I was delighted, she said--although he sometimes drove her crazy when he learned how to "bend a note," she added, laughing. Rosen, drummer Gene Wickliffe and singer Sue O'Neil formed the Mudcats Blues Band 12 years ago. O'Neil left the group three years later, followed by bassist Larry Holt. Aside from Rosen and Wickliffe, the group also consisted of Rob Pickett, who played guitar and sang, and bassist Brendan Lewis. The group released three albums locally. Rosen's stage presence, soulful vocals and intense harmonica playing electrified audiences, members of the local music community said yesterday. "His powerful sound and magnetic stage presence were a direct reflection of his gregarious personality," said Scott Mullins, blues producer for public radio station WFPK-FM. Mullins, who had known Rosen for 15 years, said Rosen transcended the blues genre, earning respect from local jazz, country and rock artists. "On a national level, others may be better known, but on talent alone Jim certainly ranked among the very best," Mullins said. "The Louisville blues community has suffered a very devastating loss from which it may never fully recover." Rosen's friends and family said that he continued to perform and record despite his illness. John Timmons, owner of ear X-tacy record stores--on whose label the Mudcats had recorded--said he expects a live studio album that Mudcats recorded in December at Mom's Music in Jeffersonville to be released in the next six weeks. "Jim is going to me missed. He was one of my favorite people," Timmons said. He said he was saddened that Rosen didn't live long enough to see his final work completed. Jeff Carpenter, who owns Real to Reel Studio, where Rosen recorded with the Mudcats and with other groups, said Rosen was responsible for bringing new audiences to blues. He described the large, bearded man as a "Grizzly Adams" who had "a heart of gold." "Jim loved blues and he loved jazz very, very much," Carpenter said. "I think Jim made people more aware of the blues. I think he was at the heart of that." Rosen's companion, Belinda Cowan, said he was first diagnosed with kideny cancer 2 1/2 years ago. He went through a remission, but by last summer his condition had worsened. She said that aside from his performing talent, Rosen could answer questions about any blues performer. "Jim lived for the blues," she said. "...He could tell you something about anybody who was a true bluesman." Another well-known local blues performer, Londa Crenshaw, was among those with Rosen when he died. She said he maintained his sense of humor until his final day. "We all felt at peace that he died at home with all the people who loved him around him," she said. Crenshaw said a private wake Thursday night was filled with laughter from the 200 musicians, friends and family who attended. "We did a lot of imitating (of) Jim," she said. As vice president of the Musicians Emergency relief Fund, Rosen helped raise thousands of dollars for fellow musicians in financial need, she said. "He was a really special man." Rosen taught blues harmonica at Indiana University Southeast in New Albany. He received the Sylvester Weaver Award from the Kentuckiana Blues Society and was a member of Musicians Local 11-637. Besides his companion and stepmother, Rosen is survied by his father, Al Rosen; his mother, Jessie Rosen, brothers Peter and Marty Rosen; a stepbrother, Bill Bizer; and four stepsisters, Vicki Bizer, Pat Mahan, Beth Van Etten and Peggy Scott. His body was donated to the University of Louisville School of Medicine. A memorial concert will begin at 5 p.m. Monday at Butchertown Pub and Cafe, 1335 Story Ave. Memorial gifts may go to the Musicians Emergency Relief Fund, P.O.

It was the same program with several Candelloresque twists -- the climbing over the wall to kiss the Japanese woman and make her blush, the back flip. It was the same program in many respects -- some jumps in the same places, same music, same swashbuckling footwork. Much more showy though. He's a ham. Remember his Rocky thing from '94? I love his D'Artagnan program, and wouldn't feel ripped off to see it two nights. I was hoping to see him do that knee-spin thing that was outlawed, though. Speaking of French figure skaters, I thought it was totally cool that Surya Bonaly finished off her amateur career by giving the judges a metaphoric finger by throwing a back-flip into her long program. And then finished with her back to them.

Why ask it? I don't know. But anyway... Why is it that American culture, no, American and European cultures, no, American and most other cultures are compelled to take a phenomenon--craft or art, or anything--and make a *competition* out of it? In the minds of many people, there seems to have to be a winner and a loser (not to mention the silver and the bronze) in almost everything. Dancing, yes ice dancing, that beautiful swirling about in costumes on ice, is now scored with decimal point accuracy. Skiing once upon a time, and snow boarding, were once , but they are now corralled (sp?) in; made to conform to certain regulations and *scored*. Is it a testeronic sort of thing (many women seem to like it as well as men)? Why the hell, in the minds of many people, does there have to be a winner and a loser for something to be ?

Hope you seen another movie soon. As for competition, I don't compete and do what I must to avoid being drawn into competitions.

Do I give a rat's rip about a basketball game between Ole Miss and Kentucky? No. I can think of various reasons for being for one or the other of those two teams, but the reasons pretty much balance out, leaving me not caring which one wins. I guess the Kentucky side might be slightly heavier-weighted since I consider Bradykins a very good friend and thus care about his team. Would I give a rat's rip about a game between MSU and Kentucky? Yes. Altho I never even thought about going to school at MSU, I have taught there for over 25 years now and of course feel a . But the rat's rip would be miniscule unless it was an interesting season like the one a couple of years ago. I don't follow MSU sports unless there's something interesting to follow. I heard in e-mail that MSU's basketball coach is about to be fired. That's kind of sad since he seems like a nice person. I also heard that when Marcus Bullard was sprung from Parchman recently, he started playing basketball for Auburn-at-Montgomery but was recently kicked out of school or at least off the team for something drug-related. Coverage of the Olympics was almost non-existent in NZ, btw. I was disappointed since I had hoped to follow the happenings on tv at night. -- Natalie (maynor@gol.com) From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Mon Feb 23 22:09:48 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id WAA07095 for ; Mon, 23 Feb 1998 22:09:47 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802240409.WAA07095@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.4E230540@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 0:08:16 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 5910; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 00:06:50 -0500 Date: Mon, 23 Feb 1998 23:08:06 -0600 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Sylvia Edwards Organization: S.words Subject: Cupcakes To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU I shared the bit about Go.To.Com (sent by KK) with my darlink cupcakes today and asked them to comment on it.

Bring an Uzi to class. Let'se see. Arguments. Well, a lot of porno sites are heavily advertised. But sites like the Philip Ahn page are not. Then there are places like www.onelook.com that run advertisements that crash Netscape for me. (I did extensive testing with the owner of the page and we determined that indeed it was the banner ad that fucked me up.) So sometimes ads are directly deleterious. 'control the net' means you'll only see pages that advertisers want to sponsor. The book that I recently used to help me futz w/ my PC has no advertising. It's sponsored by the author. I guess that's it--there are a lot of hobby pages w/ a lot of information that would get shoved to the bottom of the pile. That would be a mistake.

I thought of you constantly as I saw sheep everywhere, with occasional thoughts of Bonnie's sheep sweater gif thrown in. I started to buy that furry magnet that day but needed to rush to jump on the return boat and thought that surely I'd see something similar later. I didn't, though. I saw lots of little sheep things later, but they all looked too tourist- trappish, with "New Zealand" written across them -- like little alligators at Florida turnpike stops etc. I was hoping to have one last fling at finding stuff in Auckland that last night, but the few stores that normally stay open on Sundays were all closed because of the Auckland electricity crisis.

I'm pretty sure it's a scarf--it's more than a foot wide. (I don't wear scarves--but I did hang it on my cube, like a (small) wall-hanging.)

In any case it must have happened years and years ago. Different localities have different sports but they are scored in one way or other. In Saxo Grammaticus' Danish history (ca 1200) and Snorri's sagas about the Norwegian kings (ca 1220) there are variants of the Wilhelm Tell story (and since Wilhelm Tell is placed later in time this shows that he, too, is mostly myth) which also involve downhill skiing. espen From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Tue Feb 24 03:51:02 1998 Received: from taco.vt.com (root@ns.viatexas.org [167.114.209.3]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id DAA12450 for ; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 03:51:00 -0600 (CST) Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by taco.vt.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id FAA00133 for ; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 05:28:34 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802241128.FAA00133@taco.vt.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.DE7DEEA0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 5:48:45 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 9819; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 05:47:31 -0500 Date: Tue, 24 Feb 1998 05:46:45 EST Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Brad Grissom Subject: Re: More noise To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: Message of Mon, 23 Feb 1998 22:14:20 -0800 from >> >I thought as much but I bet you are wrong about Natalie.

I don't know, but it's a worthy question. Personally, I could almost quit fishing in response to it having become a competitive sport with a huge slack-jawed teevee audience. I suppose it's mostly driven by commerce. I caught my first game fish from a rented 12-foot rowboat that needed paint. There would be no way to photograph that and sell $30,000 "bass" boats, electronic fish finders, titanium reels and graphite composite rods. If it isn't commerce maybe it's incapacity to appreciate an activity for its own sake. Gliding along a reef, idly blowing bubbles at fish, I sometimes wonder how long until someone figures out how to turn scuba diving into a competitive sport.

And Yup - it annoys me that back-flips aren't allowed in amateur competition. The only reason I ever heard was that a flip is basically a jump, the skater has to land a jump on one foot to have done it correctly, and (for a while) everyone did two-footed landings from flips. Then Bonaly got to the point she could land on one foot & keep going as with any other jump.

I'll control your life and eliminate the junk." You're missing the point entirely, Bonnie. We're not talking about The Evils of Web Advertising, we're talking about the evils of ranking sites with more advertising first. It's like going to a library and doing a search and having the card catalog list more heavily advertised books first, rather than alphabetically or by call number! In fact, I think much of web advertising is good. When I searched car rentals on the web last night, I was given the URLs of two places that sell cars. I'll look at them later today.

Sunday was Titanic. Monday was As Good As It Gets. And today, in about an hour, it's gonna be LA Confidential. I found a movie cluster of six theaters I can get in and out of easily in a chair. They have the perfect little that accomodates wheel chairs. I take along my drink holder that attaches to the arm and a soda. Am able to take off braces. Occasionally stand, with a rail nearby, to relieve the leg muscles. Pop a couple of muscle relaxant pills during the show, and it works great. QUESTION: IMFTATL, Re. the Jack Nicholson and Helen stone movie. Is that ? If not, why not? Though I have never personally liked the persona of Jack Nicholson (he strikes me as a guy with BO), I see that he is a great actor, and was IMHO outstanding in AGAIG. I don't think the director developed his character (or I should say, exposed the reason for his behavior) quite enough toward the end. He's obviously eaten alive with obsessive-compulsive disorders, but the movie doesn't come right out and say it. There was reference to the pill, and the fact that he was (without Stone) NOT to take them. Are we to believe that the Magic of their love, or the magic of his attraction and attachment to her were eventially going resolve his wierdness--get him to take the pills, etc. etc. and they all live happily ever after? Or would fate have it that his bizarreness was really part of what she was attracted to and that they would go thru life like that--sometimes together in an electric chair and other times on the wings of a dove? Gotta go, or I'll be late for LA.

But there don't seem to be too many of those lately. It is impossible to sustain intense grief all the time. It ebbs and flows. I find myself laughing uproariously with a friend on the phone, only to be succumbed with grief an hour later. The major thing that has changed is that I am no longer overwhelmed with fear about going on after Morgan has died. I have spent a great deal of time planning and examining possibilities. I have decided to stay in this house for a while; a major move right after such a major loss would not be a bright thing to do. I will attempt to get a couple of friends to live with me, since the house is far too big for one person. And I will go to work for a company I highly respect, doing their education and training. The contract is not yet signed, but it will be in about two months. In the meantime I continue to sell books. Or at least try to. It is difficult to work. I can't concentrate. I am hugely hungry for companionship and find myself spending a lot of time with my mailing lists, writing to people, or on the phone. Now that I have some respite care through Hospice, I am going to see some movies, go to some gardens, things like that. Morgan continues to fail physically. He is very thin and very weak. However, he remains mentally alert most of the time. He cannot sustain a long conversation; he loses his train of thought easily. Sometimes he seems hyperalert, which the hospice people tell me is part of the dying process. I had no idea how hard this was going to be. Nevertheless, I must get some work done if we are to pay the bills this and the next month. Sleep would be nice. Sleep eludes me for many reasons. I am like a new mother, barely asleep and completely awake at each little sound from my dear Bear. And I am touchy. (yea, I know you couldn't tell.) Silly things set me off: seeing old couples in the grocery store and getting angry knowing that won't be for us; seeing people with children and wishing we had children together, and wishing I had mine back; seeing the seed catalogues and knowing we will not do the garden together we had planned. I will do it anyway, but it won't be the same. I find myself wanting things to be like they were. But I think Sylvia said something about that already. It is a beautiful day in Oregon. The sun is shining, the clouds are few and big and fluffy and white. The camellias are in blue, the daffodils and jonquils are peeping up, the peony has started to grow again, the roses are putting out new leaves and shoots, and the tiny blue irises will soon be in full bloom.

There was a huge fishing competition going on on "Ninety-Mile Beach" in NZ last weekend. I was on a bus that drove along the beach -- as in on the sand, which is a public highway -- the last day of the tournament. I wonder if the Korean did win. He had by far the largest fish as of that day, the last day. The funny thing was that early in the week he had been fishing near some of the other competitors, had kept getting his line tangled up with theirs, and they had told him to get out of their way. So he went over to some shallows across the way and immediately pulled in a gigantic marlin(?), winning that day's $3,000 and being almost ensured of winning the grand prize of $50,000 at the end.

It's a matter of painting a liquid emulsion on a surface, allowing it to dry, and then exposing and developing like any photo. We painted the emulsion on wood, aluminum foil, canvass and a variety of papers. Using this on sweatshirts was one of the first things I thought about. The exposing and developing of a sweatshirt would present some challenges for sure, and I'm not certain how well the final image would hold up in a wash cycle, but I'm really tempted to try it just to find out.

Currently, the internet is experiencing both a phenomenal and exponential growth rate. Imagine the amount of prospects increasing daily. DO YOU HAVE A PRODUCT OR SERVICE ? IS YOUR POTENTIAL MARKET BEING REACHED OR LIMITED BY: * Geographic boundaries or location * Lack of prospects * Lack of exposure DO YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE A VIABLE PRODUCT OR SERVICE ? "Sales, it's a numbers game" Did you know that there is a method of marketing that costs pennies but have the same effect as direct postal mail? Imagine for a moment the excitement and thrill you would feel with a FLOOD OF CONTACTS AND ORDERS FOR YOUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE. It's what all marketers dream of. This can be made possible through recent internet technological breakthroughs. You can now compete with the big boys, with exposure in MASSIVE NUMBERS, without expensive investments such as those associated with television commercials, radio advertising, direct postal mail, or tele-marketing. THE SOLUTION - Direct E-mail Marketing Direct E-mail marketing is a proven and profitable method with a global market, incurring the smallest investment. It is more advantageous than conventional marketing and the risk is minimal. The prospects are millions world wide and can be reached for much less than conventional methods. We specialize in Direct E-mail and can provide you with numerous products and services for your direct e-mail use. WE CAN SEND YOUR ADVERTISEMENT...... TO THOUSANDS.....OR.....MILLIONS !!!! Our lists are clean !! Our master list is composed of MILLIONS of ADDRESSES. As we continue to perform our updates, removing undeliverable addresses and other non qualified addresses, we have accumulated millions of tried, proven, cleaned, and deliverable lists. The lists are rotated in weekly cycles. Targeted Mailings Availble !! If your product or service is highly targeted to a specific market such as nationality, gender, age, hobby, occupation or anything, we can provide your company targeted email service or you can purchase such lists. We use our very own advanced softwares to search for targeted and deliverable email addresses. How do I know my Ad was sent ? Good question ! 1) When your advertisement is sent, the assigned lists are automatically seeded with the email address you provided us. The seed is placed every couple of thousands (depending on the quantity purchased) within the assigned list. Therefore, every couple of thousand you will receive several copies of the ad that went out. 2) In any MASS advertising such as television, direct postal mail, radio advertisng, telemarketing or even direct email (bulk email), there is always a response rate. It is a question of quantity. When an advertisement is sent in MASS quantity as with direct email, there is a response rate. However, this response rate in percent will vary from ad to ad. The response depends directly on the advertisment's "subject", letter content, and many other factors. The bottom line is that an ad mailed out will create some type of response rate.....high....low.....moderate....etc. PRIVATE AD (your ad alone) 60 line private ad to 250,000 === REG $399 === NOW $225 60 line private ad to 500,000 === REG $599 === NOW $329 60 line private ad to 1,000,000 === REG $799 === NOW $549 PRIVATE AD - TARGETED (targeted list and sending your private ad alone) QTY: below 4000 === $50 per 1000 QTY: 4000 & above === $40 per 1000 ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ TO ORDER --->> print order form below and fax or mail it Independent Distributor: Paula G.

He does do that but, I like it better than the ones who are so critical they take the fun out of the routine. Steph and I were watching ice dancing (because that's all they were showing) and the woman who was commentating was so critical, I didn't enjoy the skaters. What really killed it was, they didn't reply the routine and show any errors that would have taken away from the marks. Instead, this woman shredded each couple as they skated. She did love the favorites though and I thought maybe she was being biased in her reporting. Especially since I felt the same about the ones she hated as I did about the ones she loved. >My *friend* commented once, "That guy has to die."

It's a teal blue Pontiac Sunbird--surprisingly zippy. But. I hate getting used to a new car. There's the size of it--I can't tell where this car is. It took me three tries to get it into the carport tonight! And just the feel of it: I give myself whiplash all over again each time I brake. I looked at ads for cars and they were all stick. Hank's car is, too. I haven't driven a manual transmission car in over a year and I'm afraid it's going to take some re-getting used to. Am I especially old and cranky or does everyone feel this way about driving a new car? Or will this wear off with experience? (This is like the 6th car I've ever driven.)

Haven't we had the "censorship" discussion here already? Well, for what it's worth, you're right -- if we get a letter that says "Dear Mom and Dad: Thanks for committing me to that mental hospital, and making sure that I lost my job, kids, house and marriage.

You almost had me, because the Stanford Linguistics Dept. isn't in the Yellow Pages (all the Stanford stuff is in the white pages). But Schools-Language finds you U.C. Berkeley Extension and Schools-Travel and Tour finds you Foothill. Indirect, but I bet you could find out that way. I couldn't find out. I don't understand the distinction you're describing.

I thought LA Confidential was great. You know, I'm one of those closet violence lovers. Morally and spiritually, I disapprove--you wouldn't want to raise a kid with a strict diet of that sort of thing, but personally (especially with the space-age special effects they're able to nowadays), I grip my seat (ok, chair) with fearful pleasure. Don't ask me to explain the plot , or keep all of those names straight, but it was intricatly involved with good guys and bad guys blending in and out, straying from the neat little boxes you wanted to put them in. In fact, one thing I liked about the characters in this movie: You couldn't neatly categorize anyone. As I say, everyone had a little blood-(or shit) stain on his uniform, suit, or (her) dress--from the high-class girsls in the whore house (Fleur de Lys), where they had all had their faces< cut> (read: surgically altered) to be star look-a-likes--everyone except Veronica who really did look like Veronica Lake, *everyone*, right down to even the neat clean-cut young officer, with the nerdy glasses, if you'll permit the anachronism, whose obsession to join the Force was not powered by a sense of fairness and justice, as he himself believed, but, in truth, was a fierce vendetta eating inside, to avenge the murder of his parents and find the SOB(s) responsible for it. Well, you can see I liked the movie--deadly enemies become devoted buddies, long haired Veronesque whores become short-cropped house-wives-to-be literally with scarred-up ex-beefcake, tough-boy cop in the cab next to her with his arm in a sling, to that idyllic town somewhere in Arizona. The movie is worth seeing for the cars alone. There were classic Packards (I even think I saw a Tucker Automobile, the futuristic one in the forties with a swivel light on the front that could ). It never got built, only proto-types survived. Well there you have it--the story behind the glitz and glamor of Tinsel Town--the secret bribery photos, the set ups with prominent senators (or mayors) with pretty-boy queers, nefarious files on everyone, pictures all for bribes and extortion. A real fun kind of a thing. Only one, I can think of that never mutated was the (Re: the relentless SOB in les Miserables) of the Police Force who was the older, long nosed Irishman with the assymetric face who received his just deserts right at the end. And the same was true of the Veronica Lake look-a-like. She wove in and out (classic story of the whore, very upscale, who only intended to be so long enough to (to borrow a word from Titanic) and leave the , to go to that simple life in the small town of her origins in the West. When I was 10 years old and my sister would have to take me along to the movies, or else she would have to stay at home, I thought Veronica Lake was the quintessential beauty. She really was. (And Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwick (wyck?), and Joan Crawford were the meanest.) If you haven't already done so, go see LA Confidential. I got in for four fifty at four in the afternoon. Yeah, Myles, I had a place for the popcorn on the arm of the seat right beside me. The big box of crackerjacks sat on the floor.

You're right, you're both right. What is pronounced /juz/ is spelled 'youse'. If you're going to spell it at all that is, and I suppose you could also just spell it 'yous', since it really is just a plural of 'you'. I don't know how you would spell /yIz/. I don't live there.

I'm not at all up on the phonemic conventions, but if I interpret you correctly, then the "z" ending on [youse] is more prevalent than is the "s" ending. It may be that both are used, i.e., there are subregional variations in use. Vinny says "z," although it is a "softer" z (if that is possible) than I've heard in the speech in others. I also suspect that movie dialog tends to overemphasize the pronunciation in order to make the point ("watch it folks, we're dealing with a guy who says youse"). cwv.

Here in SF, the best sushi is to be had out here in the Avenues, which is a predominantly Asian neighborhood with no particular gay presence (aside from the fact that it *is* in San Francisco). Down on Valencia St. where the dykes are, the only sushi I know of is We Be Sushi, which is perfectly adequate -- I eat there often because it's cheap and convenient -- but not in any way extraordinary.

Forgive me if you all already know of this thing. ATT has developed a compression technique so that huge amounts of music can be transmitted on the web--not like waves, but whole songs, and soon--whole albums, and it won't fill up your hard disc. It's available free at the moment: http://www.a2b.com You have to download their player (free), and then there's a choice of songs. The idea is that people will get to listen to things before buying a CD, and there will be record (disc) stores on the site that you can click to order. The sound quality is supposed to be (nearly) as good as the actual CD. But wait, that's not all! Coming soon: a miniature disc that will fit into a palm-sized gizmo so you can download the music onto your hard disc, then copy it to this mini disc, and take it with you. And it will be good for jogging, because it does not spin like a CD, and there will be no resultant distortion.

I had to give mine away for the same reason. First, I asked around. That produced nothing. Then I put an ad in my local paper, which produced something, but not enough. I let the ad run another week, and found a great family who wanted two cats. (I wouldn't separate my cats.) They were really perfect: Mom had a business at home, so she was there most of the time; kids were 5 and 2. She was pining away for her two childhood cats, which had recently passed away, so it really worked out. I kept in touch for awhile, and it seemed they were all adjusting nicely. If I hadn't found a suitable family via the ad (and believe me, some scary people called!), I heard about a program which provides pets to elderly homes. I would have investigated that further. There were also pet placement services listed in the local Yellow Pages. Sorry that you have to do this, but it will definitely make a difference in the allergies! In my case, I couldn't even touch my cats anymore, so they weren't getting enough love and attention. I'm sure they're happier now! Good luck.

However, I disagree that it is basically take-out food. It is displayed right with all the (uncooked) bacon. It obviously is intended to deceive--the big box, the big label (14! strips), etc. It is for the unwary shopper who will think that s/he's paying about the same for 2.1 oz. and s/he would for a pound. There is no plastic window so you can see the size of the slices. The implication is that they are big, but I really doubt it, and the fact remains, it's 2.1 oz. That means that an average person, even I, the small eater, would eat the whole thing at one sitting. alyce From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Wed Feb 25 14:22:25 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id OAA14635 for ; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 14:22:04 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802252022.OAA14635@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.4B473A60@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 16:20:32 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 8043; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 16:19:18 -0500 Date: Wed, 25 Feb 1998 16:16:45 -0500 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Alyce Cresap Subject: Re: www.a2b.com?

This is Big Business For Grocery Stores these days. Well, I know that. My only point is that it is very deceptive packaging, and I think a lot of people will not notice the 2.1 oz. label, and think they're getting the usual pound. I presume the bacon is packaged in some sort of microwave heating tray, which is why it requires the big box. But those slices have to be small. Of course, not owning a microwave, I shouldn't be concerned in the least about this whole thing. alyce From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Wed Feb 25 21:16:57 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id VAA21313 for ; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 21:16:56 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802260316.VAA21313@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.46987300@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 23:15:35 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 6557; Wed, 25 Feb 1998 23:14:19 -0500 Date: Wed, 25 Feb 1998 20:15:25 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Karen Kay Subject: Re: consumer bads--new invention To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: <34F4EAF3.C871E728@epix.net> from "Alyce Cresap" at Feb 25, 98 11:09:23 pm Alyce Cresap said: > Well, I know that.

When I wanted to rent a car, the first thing I did was remember that Enterprise had been rated highly by Consumer Reports. Then I talked to people. The Yellow Pages was only my source for the number, not for any research. I ended up going to Enterprise because, although they were a little expensive, they were the only place I called that actually had a car. It's a cute car, too... Perfect for me. Sigh. Now that I'm thinking of buying a car, I haven't looked at Consumer Reports yet. Mostly I'm talking to people, one of whom offered to do some research for me (he has a friend at Consumer Reports). I did look at crash test reports on the web, though. > What it boils down to is that there are many indices compiled by > many people for many reasons.

I would say that it's important to have a basic understanding of the way the engine searches. I haven't a clue how metafind is funded, and furthermore, I don't even care. But I like the results of the searches.

The Bowery Boys were a splinter group whose origins were in the Dead End Kids. The group's debut was in _Dead End_ (1937). The same principals in the Bowery Boys--that, is Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall--were appearing at least as early as 1942 as the East End Kids.

I hate when I hop beind the wheel of my mother's Camary and end up slamming on the brakes because I'm used to having to press harder in my car. She just bought a Jeep Wrangler which I was very excited to drive but, found that it doesn't shift the way I'm used to a car shifting, the steering is very sensitive and there is no room for my left arm if the window is up. Stephanie didn't like it because she could see over the dash board (she's 5ft tall) and there is no way she could drive it without sitting on a pillow. Of course then she might not be able to reach the peddles. So, taking a joy ride was more of pain in the ass because I wasn't comfortable and I had to keep concentrating on what I was doing because it wasn't familiar to me. When I rent cars, it usually takes a day or two for me to feel comfortable. By the time I do feel comfortable, I'm back in my own car again. I should note that I've never had to re-adjust to my car. lisa From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Thu Feb 26 06:57:25 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id GAA29723 for ; Thu, 26 Feb 1998 06:57:24 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802261257.GAA29723@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.5EC89A80@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Thu, 26 Feb 1998 8:56:04 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 9745; Thu, 26 Feb 1998 08:54:50 -0500 Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 08:43:40 EDT Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "Paul R.

The headline from one of the features: Yo! Robot! I'll Have Some Sushi and a Beer The dateline is London, and it's about a new restaurant (a high-tech sushi joint) near Piccadilly called "Yo! Sushi." The piece mentions sweet shrimp nigira, and robotic, self-propelled drink trolleys that move through the aisles dispensing Japanese beers and Diet Cokes. They stop when a customer waves a hand. Some sushi orders (mostly the rolls) are still hand-rolled, but a lot of it is rolled, wrapped and cut by robots that can produce 24,000 pieces of sushi an hour.

To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Without Permission ------- Oprah Beats Texas Cattlemen in Beef Trial By Jeff Franks AMARILLO, Texas (Reuters) - Television talk show queen Oprah Winfrey won her court battle against Texas cattlemen Thursday when a federal jury ruled she did not slander the beef industry in a 1996 show on mad cow disease. The jury in Amarillo, Texas, said Winfrey was not liable for damages caused by a sharp drop in cattle futures prices after the show, in which a vegetarian activist spoke of a possible outbreak of mad cow disease in the United States. A jubilant Winfrey raised her arms and punched the air with her fist shouting "Yes!" as she left the court and was met by loud cheers from dozens of rowdy fans. "My reaction is that free speech not only lives. It rocks," said Winfrey, who is one of the world's highest-paid entertainers. She said the trial had been "very, very difficult" but cited her African-American heritage in insisting she would not be pressured into changing her hugely popular daytime show. "I will continue to use my voice. I believed from the beginning this was attempt to muzzle that voice and I come from a people who have struggled and died in order to have voice in this country and I refuse to be muzzled," she said. "It will not change the way I operate. It has made me even more fervent in my desire and intention to bring information and enlightenment and encourage people in the ways I see fit and to offer them ideas in a way they can respond to and judge for themselves," she said. The cattlemen had accused Winfrey and her guest Howard Lyman, cattle rancher-turned-vegetarian campaigner, of deliberately and maliciously attacking the industry and wanted them found liable for about $11 million in damages. Winfrey testified during the six-week trial that she had tried to expose a potential problem and was not out to get ranchers. She said again on Thursday that she and her producers had "done nothing wrong". The jury of eight women and four men deliberated for five hours on Wednesday and less than two hours on Thursday, saying afterward their ruling was a vote for freedom of speech. "We didn't necessarily like what we had to do but we had to decide for the First Amendment," jury forewoman Christy Sams said. Paul Engler, one of the cattlemen who sued Winfrey, said he would appeal and that he may have been beaten by Winfrey's celebrity more than her legal arguments. He offered Winfrey his congratulations, but said the trial sent a message to talk show hosts to make sure their facts are correct. He said testimony had demonstrated there was no risk of a mad cow epidemic in the United States. "We did accomplish that main objective to convince the U.S. people, the consumers, that U.S. beef is safe," he told reporters. "I want to see responsible reporting and responsible talk show hosts. In the most controversial part of Oprah's show, Lyman said U.S. cattle were being fed ground-up cattle parts,raising the risks of a mad cow disease epidemic which he said would "make AIDS look like the common cold." Winfrey told the studio audience and viewers that Lyman's comments "just stopped me cold from eating another burger." Amarillo lies in the heart of Texas cattle country. About 25 percent of the nation's beef is produced there. Winfrey said she was concerned she might not get a fair trial in the city, but that she soon changed her mind. She drew a loyal band of local fans who snapped up every ticket to the shows she has taped nightly in Amarillo since the trial began. She said her reception had been superb but that she was glad to be leaving. "I'm coming home, Chicago," she yelled to more laughs and cheers. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association said it was "disappointed" that the jury found Winfrey's show had not been directly aimed at the plaintiffs, Texas cattlemen. "So the real issue in this case -- responsible speech -- could not be addressed," the Denver-based organization said in a statement. "In today's world of instant and widespread communications, the impact of misinformation can be devastating on the market for perishable agricultural products," the group said.

The shop across from ours is a ladies hairdresser, Rita my friend who owns it is Italian, speaks truncated English ["where are my sciss?],very excitable and naive. We had a partial eclipse here last year and Geoff had a piece of coloured glass and we stood out in the road [it's that kind of place, you can do that [most times] and Rita saw us and I called her out and gave her the glass and told her to look.

She looked through the glass, saw what was happening, looked at the glass curiously, turned to me [both of us stood in the middle of the road] and said accusingly "Margaret, what have you been doing?".

I finally got around to reading the clipping. "At first glance it could be a fire hose, neatly accordioned behind a panel of glass and mounted on a wall. As the wall is in a museum devoted wholly to parasites, however, you have the unsettling feeling that upon closer inspection it will turn out not to be a piece of safety equipment. "'Diphyllobothrium,' says Shumya Kamegai cheerfully. Kamegai, a parasitologist, is director of the Meguro Paristological Museum in Tokyo. Diphyllobothrium is a tapeworm, in this case a 24-foot-long tapeworm. Kamegai speaks English, but you almost wish he didn't. Then you wouldn't know that this tapeworm lived in a 40-year-old sushi eater. You wouldn't know what the man's doctor had to do to evict the specimen in one long museum-quality piece. You wouldn't know that it grew 20 centimeters a day in the man's belly. 'Grew this big in two months after eating sushi,' says Kamegai. You nod, silently calculating the hours that have elapsed since you ate raw fish at a cheap Tokyo sushi bar. "Each year some 2,000 Japanese fall ill from worms in raw fish. In the United States doctors don't have to report those kinds of illnesses, so statistics aren't available. ... "Kamegai himself was a statistic. But it wasn't a tapeworm that made him sick. What caused Kamegai's illness, indeed what causes most illnesses traced to worms in raw fish, was a less showy organism. Kamegai steps over to the museum's souvenir shop and picks up a key chain featuring a matchbook-sized slab of Lucite. Inside it, half an inch long and delicate as corn silk, is a worm of the species Anisakis simplex. "'Very stomachache.' Kamegai winces at the memory. 'Very sharp pain.' On a far wall is a photographic blowup of the front end of an anisakid. This is a creature with few charms. It excretes waste from its face. In place of a nose it has a prominent Black & Deckeresque attachment called a boring tooth, which it uses to drill holes in your intestines. It does this because it wants to get into your abdominal cavity, which it hopes will be a more hospitable place to settle down and raise a family. Thankfully for you, it's not. An anisakid worm needs to locate a seal stomach to complete its life cycle and reproduce. (The eggs leave the seal and grow into larvae that get eaten by large fish, which in turn are eaten by seals -- and sometimes by humans.) "After a week or so spent touring your innards, the worm dies. In the meantime it can make life so uncomfortable that anisakiasis is often misdiagnosed as stomach cancer or appendicitis. Indeed, the most dire side effect of anisakiasis is the unnecessary appendectomy. [Why is that dire? Getting rid of your appendix would mean never having to worry about getting appendicitis at an inopportune time, wouldn't it?] "In view of Kamegai's own experience, it's surprising to learn that he still frequents sushi bars. 'Of course,' he says, neatening a pile of sterling silver parasite earrings. 'I go all the time.' That's because Kamegai didn't get the worms from sushi bar fish. He got them from raw fish his wife prepared. "In both Japan and the United States, far more people get ill from fish fixed at home than from fish served in sushi restaurants. [I thought he said earlier that there weren't any statistics for the US.]" ... from _Health_ magazine, March '98 -- Natalie (maynor@gol.com) From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Thu Feb 26 22:19:30 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id WAA10942 for ; Thu, 26 Feb 1998 22:19:29 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802270419.WAA10942@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.30F72780@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 0:18:13 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 7474; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 00:16:59 -0500 Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 21:18:08 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Karen Kay Subject: Re: Sushi To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: <199802270510.OAA25597@gol1.gol.com> from "Natalie Maynor" at Feb 27, 98 02:20:41 pm Natalie Maynor said: > "Each year some 2,000 Japanese fall ill from worms in raw fish.

Massachusetts cars? A season pass is only $20. The locals line up at the fee station on the morning in May when the Loop Road reopens after the long winter and the even longer mud season and vie for a low number. Or at least we do. We got 0008 last year. There was just an article in yesterday's paper about how easy it is, and how often it is done, to bypass paying that fee and still use most of the Park. There are lots of entrances to the Park. One can bike all the carriage roads and never pass the one fee station. One can drive to the top of Mount Cadillac and never see the fee station. But, if you want to drive the most dramatic part of the Loop Road which passes Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and Otter Cliffs, then you will encounter the Fee Station. The fee is just $10 for a week's pass. I've seen one guide book, on how to vacation cheaply, that actually tells you how to bypass the Acadia fee station. bonniev@acadia.net From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Fri Feb 27 07:58:06 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id HAA17065 for ; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 07:58:04 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802271358.HAA17065@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.05DE6CB0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 9:56:50 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 0307; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 09:55:36 -0500 Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 09:56:46 -0500 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: bonniev Subject: Re: A non-olympic record To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU >"Keep the jar shielded from heat, light and moisture", yes.

But the students look like the kind who might just do that if they weren't so busy hugging trees and chasing whales.

The Wu Tang Clan is a rap group. The controversy is, Shawn Colvin (the woman who sings, Sonny Came Home) won an award. As she was going up to accept it, a member of the WTC jumped up on stage, grabbed a live mic and started babbling about how his group is better than some other rapper. Basically he was pissed because he had lost an award to the other rapper. I was watching the show and I had no idea what he was talking at the time. It wasn't until I noticed a security official (some guy in a tux with lots of backstage passes around his neck) trying to get him off the stage. Shawn Colvin has been around for a while. She's in her early 40s and has finally achieved some commercial success. She's not my favorite but, I do like and appreciate her music. I felt bad for her because her moment to shine was interrupted by a guy who calls himself, Old Dirty Bastard and bitches to a live audience that he spent a lot of money on new clothes so he could look good when he picked up the award he was sure he would win. lisa > - phyllis_petree@unc.edu > Musical Phillistine From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Fri Feb 27 08:57:02 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id IAA17669 for ; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 08:57:01 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802271457.IAA17669@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.3F76DD60@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 10:55:42 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 9334; Fri, 27 Feb 1998 10:54:28 -0500 Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 08:01:18 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Shoshana Edwards Subject: Re: Star Trek Question To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: <199802270611.WAA17102@ring.vpop.net> At 10:10 PM 2/26/98 -0800, you wrote: >Is Worf still seeing what's-her-name--the woman w/ the sybiant? > >Karen > "Systems expel dissidents."--Susan Osborn > He married her, in a rip-roaring Klingon wedding.

If I am remembering that one correctly, it was either last season or very early in this current season. Worf and Jadzia Dax married a few shows back. She's one of my favorite characters: so feminine and so warrior. It's a tought character to play, with the symbiont having lived so long and with so many others, and she carries it off well.

Some US history channel advertises (on broadcast TV?) and has a disclaimer that they aren't available in Canada ?

It's in lots of bento boxes sold in the basement of my building. But I have done no surveys of how many people are eating sushi at any given moment in Japan. Or sashimi. I do know that almost every dish offered at the restaurant I was in last night included either sushi or sashimi. But that is not to suggest that all restaurants are like that. When reading the article my mother sent me, I kept remembering the sushi I had eaten on the flight back from NZ. I had not eaten the sashimi at the second meal on the plane, though. I still felt full from the earlier meal and was somehow turned off by the thought of sashimi at that point. (I was also full from the candy bars I had pulled from my purse.)

(N* F******...well, you get the idea.) What's been happening recently is that I manage to get to bed by 10:30-11:00 at night, go to sleep fairly quickly--and then wake up at 4:00 AM. I turn on the radio and drift off at about 6:00 AM--shortly before my first round of alarms goes off. Much liefer would I follow Richard Armour's advice: Day breaks, it's said, When night is ended. I lie in bed Until it's mended. Nonetheless, getting up in time for day shift is something I *can* do, and intend to do ("I meant what I said and I said what I meant"--Horton T. Elephant). But it's not the shift I would choose if I had a choice. Ah, well--as Scott Adams says, if people loved work, they'd do it for free.

Speaking of fares, train fares in Japan are ridiculously expensive -- unless you're a tourist and can use a Japan Rail Pass -- the difference between the costs of a Japan Rail Pass and regular train fares is gigantic -- nothing like Eurailpasses. A 1-week JRP costs just over 28,000 yen. My train tickets to Nagasaki and Beppu are going to cost about 65,000 yen. Bottom line: y'all should all visit Japan.

About his dismissal, it says, "An unabashed cultural conservative, Mr. Epstein repeatedly ran afoul of such liberal critics as Joyce Carol Oates, who publicly called for his dismissal in 1991 after he wrote an essay for The Hudson Journal poking fun at feminism."

We'll also have friends travelling with us, and I have not yet determined whether or not they will be joining us on our adventure. steph From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Feb 28 09:45:38 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA06489 for ; Sat, 28 Feb 1998 09:45:37 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802281545.JAA06489@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.1EDE05D0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 28 Feb 1998 11:43:43 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 6696; Sat, 28 Feb 1998 11:42:29 -0500 Date: Sat, 28 Feb 1998 08:49:31 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Shoshana Edwards Subject: i always thought so (fwd) To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU >This kinda joke alwasy makes me wonder just who has the time to come up >with this stuff... > 1) Start with the given: CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR 2) Change all U's to V's (which is proper Latin anyway): CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR 3) Extract all Roman Numerals: C V V L D I V 4) Convert into Arabic values: 100 5 5 50 500 1 5 5) Add all the numbers: 100 + 5 + 5 + 50 + 500 + 1 + 5 = 666 666 Thus, Barney is Satan. **************************************************** Books From Bree 503-643-7577; 503-644-7218; fax: 503-641-2701 Bree@auldbooks.com - http://www.auldbooks.com/bree/ 7795 SW Hall Boulevard; Beaverton, OR 97008 **************************************************** From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Feb 28 09:55:22 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA06634 for ; Sat, 28 Feb 1998 09:55:21 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199802281555.JAA06634@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.958A5020@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 28 Feb 1998 11:54:11 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 7099; Sat, 28 Feb 1998 11:52:57 -0500 Date: Sat, 28 Feb 1998 09:00:05 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Shoshana Edwards Subject: Re: Richard To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: <199802281413.GAA02068@ring.vpop.net> At 06:10 AM 2/28/98 -0800, you wrote: >I don't know which day (or week?) you celebrate your birthday but I hope >it is a happy one.

To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Hi All- I'm going to interview for a QA position on Tuesday. The head hunter has informed me that I will have to take two tests. The Prandex (Prendex?) and the MIIS test. She explained what the first one was but, has no information on the second one. I've used my new search site, www.nlsearch.com and found a reference to it from someone in HR on a related listserv. No one on that list could answer her question. Apparently the test has something to do with testing problem solving skills in a computer related field. My troubleshooting skills are always highly regarded so, I'm not too worried about it but, I'd like to know more about the test. Anyone heard of it? Anyone take it? Oh, one more tidbit. The woman on the listserv mentioned something about the test also being called a MIIF test.

He filed a grievance against me with the city because Keith's boat is parked on the grass and is "collecting" debris. This really upset me. I was told by the inspection official that I can park the boat on the drive, sell it, or store it, but it must be moved off the side yard. Geez, it's tucked between the house and the fence, but on the grass and surrounded by winter trash that has blown in. Grumble, Grumble. We had snow and cold temps today.

One of my friends in Japan was a potter. He made ceramic art pieces and won lots of prizes in international exhibitions. But his bread and butter was making household implements--vases, plates, etc. I watched him go out to his studio one afternoon after lunch. In about twenty minutes, he produced at least 20 vases. These were simple tubes (for artsy Japanese arrangements), but they had an indentation in the upper part. (It gives you something to balances the flowers against.) Each vase had an indentation about six inches long, about 1/2" deep. You make this kind of indentation using a wooden tool, but it's very hard to get the indentation the same depth each time. I found this quite impressive. I watched him for a long time and he only had to get rid of one vase, because he missed with the slashing tool. I suppose this is the kind of thing that robots are better at. But what would they do with apprentices, then?

I've lost count of the number of records broken, for high temperatures, lack of low temperatures, low snowfall, etc. And certainly in the 11 Februarys (Februaries?) that I've been here, roses were not sprouting, delphiniums and hollyhocks were not sprouting, trees were not budding, and red-winged blackbirds were not eating at my feeder.

Try Dalmatians. >alyce Gentle Alyce, Fashion theory applied to animal control? Spots and stripes are naturally incompatible and therefore result in one repelling the other? Interesting. But seriously, Marie, my experiences with the little odifers has shown that they cannot be repelled, but must be enticed. Set out a Hav-A-Hart trap with bacon grease, peanut butter, or cheese. Attach a loooong rope to the handle(s). Have a disposable plastic tarp available to toss over the inhabited trap, leaving and end of the rope exposed. Carefully wrap the tarp around the trap, keeping the tarp between you and the critter at all times. Wrap the rope around the whole affair so that it can be used to transport the object while keeping your distance. Good luck. The above is only to be executed if there is no local agency in charge of removing such pests. In many regions, there is a local animal control organization that will willingly, if not eagerly, perform this function. This would be the preferred route if you would rather not have the thrill of dealing with exotic animals. You might want to consider making a pet of the little fellow. Or not. Peace, Elwood P.

Recently General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the statement "Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?" 1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car. 2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on. 3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too. 4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT". But, then you would have to buy more seats. 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads. 6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower. 7. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light. 8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt. 9. The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off. 10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

The discussion of bento boxes reminded me of him. One day we were talking in a small conversation group about the differences between high school and college, and one thing he mentioned that he likes better about college is being able to eat in a school cafeteria. When I asked him exactly why, it turned out that he didn't like the hours of work and creative frenzy his mother devoted to fixing his lunch every day when he was in high school and younger -- the perfect variety, perfect artistry, etc. It reminded me of what I had read about the competition among Japanese mothers in preparing the bento boxes for their children to take to school. It's apparently fierce. He was stereotypical in having gone to private schools and spent all extra hours at cram schools. He had said earlier when we were talking about tv that his parents got rid of the tv set when he was six because they thought it was distracting him from his studies. All he did all through school was study, both in and out of school. He had no idea what I was gleaning that day from his discussion in contrast with the stories of another student in the group -- one who had gone to public schools, had gone to no cram schools, and who didn't start thinking about where to try to go to college until the last minute -- and who is obviously much smarter and more fun than the poor child of the fancy bento boxes and cram schools. On a different subject, I sure like atsui remonado and am wondering if I'll ever taste it again after leaving Japan. Have any of y'all encountered hot lemonade in the US?

It's silly, not terribly well written, and only has its moments in the acting and yet I never miss a chance to view it. Must say something about me. This thread also reminds me of that wonderful Hill Street Blues episode where Renko's father dies, and the body gets mixed up with the plans for the station barbecue and then in a car stolen by a car thief. At one point, Renko pitifully whines, "They've lost my daddy." And then he ends up with Belker in an alley full of drunks. It takes Belker a while to realize that its a corpse leaning against him instead of an annoying drunk.

Why does Monica want to see +me?+ I'll find some way to email possible visitees before appearing on their doorsteps.

ANNE: I never save the directions for setting no mail. Would you please toast me, both lists, this evening? Don't know when I'll be back. I'd say somewhere between seven days and four weeks, give or take a little. I was going to visit Marie in New York, but I'm pretty sensitive about getting called a DORK. I was going to visit Myles in New Jersey but I fear the New Jersites would steal my 1980 Chevy pickup and the world's ugliest home-converted camper. (I hear the drug industry in in decline.)

As so many of you responded, it's impossible for me to list everybody's message, so I'll sum up the main points instead. 1. Most of you said that cookie comes from a program invented at MIT around 1970 called 'Cookie Monster' after the cookie monster from Sesame Street. Rich Alderson writes: >>The computer term "cookie" is derived, by means of a joke, from the Children's Television Workshop program _Sesame Street_. Many people are familiar with the Cookie Monster character and his unending search for cookies, in which he will say to anyone (often annoyingly) "Give me a cookie!" There was a computer program, first written for the DECSYSTEM-20, called COOKIE. When run on an unsuspecting person's account, it would from time to time break in to whatever they were doing and demand "Give me a cookie!" If the person typed "cookie" on the keyboard, the program went back to sleep. Anything else typed would result in a repeated "Give me a cookie!" The computer security term "cookie" for something given on demand to a remote host grew metaphorically from this practical joke program. It extended in sense from there to Web browsers and other programs.<< Related terms are "magic cookie","fortune cookie". A lot of you think that 'cookie' is a shortened form of 'magic cookie'. Karen Courtenay writes: >>The term cookies draws from a unix/programming concept of "magic cookies" also sometimes referred to as tokens. Tokens is perhaps a better term. In some ways a cookie is like a Passport that gets stamped as you enter various territories. Cookies are something a server gives to a client. And the client may show the information back to the server on subsequent pages, actions or visits.<< Thanks for everybody else who gave a similar explanation: Patrick Juola, Susanne Riehemann, Scott Waterman, Stephen Spackman, Gabor Fencsik, Martha McGinnis, Donald Pfister, John M. Lawler, John D. Stone and others. More information can be found at e.g. http://sagan.earthspace.net/jargon/ (The Hacker's Dictionary, for definitions of cookie, magic cookie, fortune cookie etc.), http://www.lilli.com/cookie.html 2. Metaphorical meanings (a) cookies are like prizes, bribes: Sam Salt writes: >>A cookie is something you give to a child when he/she has been good. However, it may have strings attached - you only get a cookie if you are good. So the child is being bribed. A better strategy in the long run might be to reject the cookie and remain independent. Cookies in the computing sense are fairly similar.<< So cookies are kinds of prizes one gets in exchange for doing sth (giving information). Mitch Smith writes: >> The user must grant the server access to the client's internal workings, hence "accepting" (and swallowing) the "cookie". The fact that, here in mondo-reality, cookies taste good and don't generally phone home after being eaten helps to disguse the fact that the user is being asked to compromise his/her system's security, thus making the idea more "palatable". This technique is fairly conventional in that it is analogous to the practice of giving preshcoolers their polio vaccine on a sugar cube or hiding Rover's heart-worm pill in a meatball.<< The following people came up with similar explanations: Mike Fox, John Braico, Tom McMillan. (b) Haensel & Gretel: leaving a trail of crumbs Dan Loehr writes: >> The metaphor is that of leaving a trail of cookie crumbs, so that you can follow them home (i.e. easily get back to where you started). Thus, the computer "crumb" of information you leave behind lets the web browser find out who you are. I think the idea of leaving a trail of crumbs started in fairy tales (i.e.Hansel and Gretel). At any rate, it's an infrequently-used metaphor to say "Leave a trail of crumbs behind you" so you can return to a job or a hometown after you've been gone a while. It doesn't necessarily have to be cookie crumbs, I guess.<< Victoria Bergvall gave a similar interpretation. (c) Client-server: Retta Whinnery writes: >> The server generally "serves" the cookies to the client. That is, the server makes the cookies based on the information provided by the client and, then, "passes" the cookies to the client computer.>> (d) cookie jar: Jason Haugen suggests the following cookie metaphor: >> website = Cookie Jar; cookie = something taken from the cookie jar (website)<< (e) more metaphors: Retta Whinnery wrote: >> 1. A cookie is an "enticement" to get a computer user to visit your site. It collects information about your preferences and customizes the site accordingly. It's a sweet way to make sure the user gets satisfaction from the site. 2. A cookie has an "expiration date" just like the edible ones we purchase in stores. 3. A cookie is small; it cannot be larger than 4K. 4. The maximum number of cookies that can be on one client is 20, a few more than a dozen, but about the same number of edible cookies that come in a package. (5.) The site that is customized by a cookie takes on a certain "flavor" that the user likes. << (f) more food metaphors: Retta Whinnery wrote: >> Cookies are commonly used in Java and JavaScript, the programming languages "invented?" by Steve Coffey. Some people have said that the language "Java" was named after a coffee shop; however, that is incorrect. It was named after its inventor: Coffey. Along with this are many other food metaphors: cookies and coffee JavaBeans hooked on Java juicy applets (these are small applications, but it sounds like small apples) Apple Computers also used many food metaphors: Macintosh (a type of edible apple as well as a brand of computers)<< Robert Timms alsomentioned 'cookies and coffee' and 'Java' in this connection. Lynn S. Messing about Easter Eggs: >>For example, an Easter egg might pop up if you go to a "Help" menu, click on the "About..." sub-menu, and then click a certain part of the window that pops up. The Easter egg might list the developers of the program. Easter eggs are so called because they are surprises that you usually have to go hunting for to find.<< Thanks to Elke Hentschel and Tom McMillan for drawing the attention to the fact that the definition I gave ("Cookies are bits of computer code that allow a Web page's operators to collect information about each user for later reference.", from 'Among The New Words' in American Speech) was inaccurate: >>The cookies are the 'data', not 'bits of computer code' (where do they find these people to define computer terms?). There is certainly code written to get cookies, but it is the data itself which is the prize, so to speak...<< (Tom McMillan). Well, thanks again to all of you who responded - maybe I'll quote one or two of you in my PhD dissertation ( about the language, esp. the metaphors, of computing).

I'm trying to find out exact dates for the beginning and ending of first term summer school. Usually it starts around Monday or Tuesday of the last week in May and ends about four weeks later -- the last week in June. But I'd kind of like to know for sure when it ends before I do something like up and plan a flight to Europe. It would be just my luck if they decided to go back to the old schedule (of eight or ten years ago) when it started in early June and ended in early July. I doubt that that's a possibility.

Here is her reply, plus a Word game at the end if you read all the way through. >Yes, it does. It's one of the best dongles I've ever seen. Most programs have at least one somewhere. However, they are usually inside information till somebody tells somebody who tells somebody, etc. Most of the ones I've seen are much simpler than this one. Usually just some kind of screen shot or something. The program I am working on has a little flash screen with an inside joke on it. It really wouldn't mean anything to anybody outside our group. It's just something programmers tend to do to break the monotony sometimes. What can I say, most programmers are a little strange. > >The trick with this one is that you have to have cells L97 through X97 selected, or highlighted, and M97 has to be the current cell when you do the CTRL-SHIFT-. F5 brings up a selection window. Entering L97:X97 selects those cells and leaves you in L97. TAB then moves you to M97 without changing the selection. You can achieve the same thing by clicking on cell L97 and dragging to X97 to select those cells. This again leaves you in L97 so hitting TAB moves you to M97. It brings up a pretty neat, although simple, flight simulator that allows you to fly over a fractal landscape. Out in the middle of it is a section in a different color and pattern with a billboard that has credits for the names of the programmers that worked on the project scrolling up on it. This is a typical reason for this type of thing, to give credit to those who wrote the program....Even if most people will never see it. > >Thanks for the info....We use Excel97 at work.

Were you there? Was there electricity? In answer to the two questions, yes to the first, not much to the second. I had considered a few days earlier trying to change my return flight to enable me to spend an extra day in Auckland (since I was there only two non-consecutive nights, with no real time to explore the city). I then decided it was too much trouble to try to change the flight. That was a wise decision. Luckily, the strange little hotel I was staying in managed to keep power while I was there, but most of the city was without power. I walked down to the busiest part of town that last night and found everything closed except for the little Internet place that I sent some quick mail from. All businesses, restaurants, etc. were being ordered to stay closed. Many hotels were totally without electricity. Etc. It would not have been a good time for an extended stay in Auckland. When I was through Auckland on my way up to the Bay of Islands, they had lost maybe 50% of the power (half the cables down). When I was back there a couple of days later, that last night of my NZ trip, they had lost all but one small cable, which they feared might go out at any time. I read somewhere that they still had 20% power that Sunday but read somewhere else that it was 10%. The authorities were trying to keep that for emergency services like hospitals. (The power went off in one hospital during a bunch of surgeries. Fun.) Auckland University was totally blackened, lots of people in various places got stuck on elevators, etc. etc. Karen: >She talked about it--I think it happened right before she left. Did I? I didn't remember that. > I didn't realize they didn't know what caused it. Bizarre. Sloppy maintenance is what I heard/read. But people did find it pretty bizarre that the sloppily maintained cables started going out at the same time. My unscientific mind would guess that that might be because as some cables failed, the others felt strained, but nobody mentioned that. And nobody asked me for my wise analysis. -- Natalie (maynor@gol.com) From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Thu Mar 5 17:03:40 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id RAA14066 for ; Thu, 5 Mar 1998 17:03:39 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803052303.RAA14066@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.4D335E60@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Thu, 5 Mar 1998 19:02:54 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 7427; Thu, 5 Mar 1998 19:01:38 -0500 Date: Fri, 6 Mar 1998 09:13:40 +0900 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Natalie Maynor Subject: Auckland To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Alyce: > and I'm surprised it hasn't been much >in the news.

Hope, The Sage of Okoboji is on schedule and has sent you a message confirming your dinner date. MY LUNCH WITH JIM Resourceful guy that he is, Farrell found his way to campus and the main library, got directions to my outpost, and made his way there. I greeted him on the sidewalk with a crisp salute (aided in identification by Kenn C. Miller's timely photoportraiture on the internet). We went to Lynagh's Irish pub to grab a bite, and before you could say Prosze Pana, it was almost five o'clock. I allowed him to head for West Virginia only on the condition that he spend more time in Lexington on the return leg of the trip. Am I only the second Wordsler (after Bookrate) to ftf with the Commandante? Some of you (Hope, Phyllis, ggs, Bill, maybe the Atlantic Island crew) are in for a treat. Over the course of a simple tavern meal, he will take you from Dow dividend yields to two-ocean naval strategy. Great stories. He does have a tendency to flirt shamelessly with waitresses and coeds, but, hey, we all have character flaws. Jim asked me to say hello to the usual suspects on the list. Oh, "J.J." the black Labrador is a worthy mate to The Sage of Okoboji and is, as I hereby attest, truly trilingual. brad From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Thu Mar 5 19:34:05 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id TAA15712 for ; Thu, 5 Mar 1998 19:34:05 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803060134.TAA15712@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.5117DF00@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Thu, 5 Mar 1998 21:33:19 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 1137; Thu, 5 Mar 1998 21:32:04 -0500 Date: Thu, 5 Mar 1998 21:32:50 EST Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: MaryDot Subject: hiring - help!

The funny thing is that the recipe is in a cookbook put out by the Junior League in Charleston, SC, and I can't envision those southern society belles preparing cow's (well, actually it's a calf) head. If you ever get one, though, here's what you do: Soak calf's head overnight in salt water. Boil with parsley, thyme, and nutmeg until thoroughly done. Cool and cut it up into small pieces. Make brown gravy, put 1 cup bread crumbs and 3 chopped-up hard-boiled eggs into it. Mix chopped calf's head thoroughly with the gravy. Put mixture into greased baking dish, cover lightly with cracker crumbs, and bake at 350F until browned, about 35 minutes. Serves 6.

You have obviously not made plans yet. Espen can make either. No other voices have been heard from, if I recall correctly.

I've seen this, but what really threw me was when I came across cow's head as a vegetarian dish - you know how some vegetarians like to serve vegetarian "steaks" or "hamburgers", using some protein-rich stuff that isn't meat - and at this place they served "Vetetarian Calf's Head with nuts and raisins". The vegetarian I was with thought this was gross, but I've since heard that it's a big hit with some vegetarians, who laugh a lot as they chew on the "head". Maybe it has grapes for eyes, who knows?

Was does it stand for: "file..."), and succeeded once, but have now forgotten the reference (I was looking for AASCI version of the International Phonetic Alphabet). I suspect newsgroups require a special technology I may not be provided with, but I don't know of a mailing list group where they discuss, say, quotes of the day, proverbs (as from The Oxford Dictionary of Proverbs, Quotations, etc), etymologies and tricky questions of so-called usage?

I understand this is making the rounds on the internet. Who ************************************************************************* TITANIC: The Short Version (Scene 1) KATE WINSLET: Why, this is a fancy boat, isn't it? KATE'S WEASELLY FIANCE: Yes it certainly is. Here is the art you asked for. It is by an artist named 'Picasso.' I am certain he will amount to nothing. KATE: Ha ha ha. That is very funny to our '90s audience, because of course Picasso later amounted to quite a bit, after this boat sank. LEONARDO DICAPRIO: Hello, I'm Leonardo DiCaprio. Perhaps you have seen the many Internet sites dedicated to the worship of me. You are very pretty. KATE: Thank you. So are you. LEONARDO: I know. Prettier than you, in fact. I am going to put on my 'brooding' face now, to ensure that women will keep coming back again and again to see this movie. Later, my white shirt will be soaking wet. KATE: While you're doing that, I will concentrate on standing here and looking pretty, to keep the men in the audience interested until the boat sinks and people start dying. WEASELLY FIANCE: Excuse me. I do not like you, Leonardo, even though you saved my fiancee's life. I am going to sneer at you and treat you like dirt because you're poor, and then I'll probably be physically abusive to my fiancee, and then, just to make sure the audience really hates me, and to make sure my character is entirely one-dimensional, perhaps I'll throw an elderly person into the water. AUDIENCE: Boo! We hate you! Even though all real people have at least afew admirable qualities, we have not been shown any of yours, and plus, you're trying to come between Leonardo and Kate, and so therefore we hate you! Boo! (Even though technically it is Leonardo who is coming between you and Kate. But Leonardo is handsomer than you, even though he is only 13, so we are on his side. Boo!) * * * (Scene 2) LEONARDO: I'm glad we snuck away like this so that you could cheat on your fiance. KATE: So am I. Even though I am engaged to him and have made a commitment to marry him, that is no reason why you and I cannot have sex together. The fact that I am the heroine of the movie will no doubt help the cattle-like audience forgive me of this, though they would probably be VERY angry indeed if my fiance were to do the same thing to me. AUDIENCE: Darn straight we would! Moo! We mean, Boo! LEONARDO: I agree. First I would like to draw you, though, so of course you will have to take off all your clothes. KATE: All right, then. (sound of clothes hitting the floor) * * * (Scene 3) FIRST MATE: Captain, we're about to hit an iceberg. CAPTAIN: Great, I could use some ice for my drink. (sound of drinking) ICEBERG: (hits boat) FIRST MATE: That can't be good. CAPTAIN: Bottoms up! AUDIENCE: (silence) FIRST MATE: That was irony, you fools. AUDIENCE: Baa! Moo! Where's Leonardo? * * * (Scene 4) LEONARDO: I have been informed that this boat is sinking. KATE: That is terrible. LEONARDO: Would you like to engage in some more immoral-but-justified behavior? KATE: Certainly. WEASELLY FIANCE: Excuse me, I -- AUDIENCE: Boo! Boo! WEASELLY FIANCE: (aside) I'm getting the raw end of the deal here. (to Leonardo) Listen, Leonardo, to cement my morally-dubious-yet- somehow-less-annoying-than-you personality, I am going to handcuff you to this pipe, here in a room that will soon be filling with water, due to the fact that we are sinking, which I believe has been mentioned previously. LEONARDO: Why don't you just shoot me? WEASELLY FIANCE: Because then you wouldn't be able to escape and save Kate from me. Of course, you're going to die anyway-- AUDIENCE: Don't spoil it for us! Boo! LEONARDO: He's right, though. I am doomed. AUDIENCE: Aww, look how cute he is when he's doomed. WEASELLY FIANCE: I hate you people. * * * (Scene 5) 150-YEAR-OLD KATE: And that's when Leonardo rescued me from my evil fiance and helped me float on a board in the water. Of course, if it hadn't been for having to rescue HIM, I could have gotten on an actual lifeboat, and not frozen my legs nearly off. Anyway, he's pretty much dead now, and I'm well over a thousand years old, and who's making my supper? I need a bath. Turn down that Enya music, it's making my ears hurt. You kids today, with your loud music. Why, when I was -- hey! Don't you walk away from me, Mr. Snooty- Patootie! I'd turn you over my knee, if I had one. I'll beat you in the head with this huge diamond! Come back here!

Holler Ral NC USA: Hi there Natalie, and everybody else, for that matter. How did you know that the 4th was my birthday? Yep, I'm 62 and ain't down yet. True, I *did* just stop a lot of what I was doing (mostly at the computer, responding to and initiating conversations, words-l and back-channel private), paying bills with online banking, and dealing with the system of hospitals at Duke (mainly monitoring insurance reimbursements and applying for status as a ). My bills and other expenses are so high, if I achieve this status, they will write off what I owe, (we're talking nearly $4000) or a portion of it, and I can begin to save a little--for maybe a trip, or have some for fun stuff (i.e., with something other than maintenance and surviving brain tumors as its focus). All of the above has taken a lot of my time, but I still do some late hour writing. Tatoeba (por ejemplo, zum beispiel, for example, for the unfortunate ones in one language), last night from 3 to 5 am EST I wrote an epistle to my cousin. It was too long (as I usually am) but I *owed* her a good e-mail letter. Everyday I think about Shoshana and Morgan, Sylvia and Keith (during all that she went through I was out of the loop for one reason or the other, but I still feel bad about not and offering her words of encouragement. I need to write them both. Shoshana, by the way, the book came through fine and my sister is delighted with it. I owe Betty Clark a note on the topic of Where's Karsten. Betty, don't give up; I'll write yet. There's so much going on in this crazy country and around the world, I'd like to put my two cents worth in on all of the topics. But there's only so much time that I can. I'm now in my sixth week with a new chemo-therapy. So far so good--no adverse side effects and none expected by the doctors. I go once a week to have my blood monitored for white cell count and liver and kidney function. I feel good about their keeping a close watch on things. Yet, there goes one of my afternoons, and it's to last a year, with a brain scan (MRI) every two months. The blood work is done here in Raleigh, but I have to go to Duke for the MRI along with consultation with the two doctors. But that makes me feel good that they keep a close watch on things. I haven't felt better in years--partly due perhaps to the new chemo, and partly due to breaking out of the (negative) mode of cabin fever and going to those movies, and some change in my diet and medication. I watched a four hour movie the other night on TV--A Matter of Justice, a four or five-year-old one, with a wonderful performance by Patty Duke. But I promise to try to do better, especially with the late-nite-stuff in the future. Now I've got to go get dressed and get out of the house. I'll take my bath tomorrow--no time to do both. SayOOnara, Bill Yes, as in Clinton--a man whom, in a very human sort of way, I admire most in the world right now. > > I'm happy to report that the snow that was forecast for this afternoon > hasn't shown up yet.

I am sitting in a little cafe on Kapahulu Avenue drinking very strong toasted cocoanut coffee with cream and am about to try a cup of vanilla and macadamia nut brew. We were sitting in Nebraska contemplating a leaden sky on a windy miserable day when I got out our file on frequent flyer points and found that all our original United points from years back would be lost if we didn't use them this year. We decided to get out of town and were delighted to find that not only did we have enough to both fly first class but that United had seats for us . . and within about four days we were outta there. We had never booked first class, although I was bumped up a couple of times when I was travelling for Smokenders. On a long flight first class makes all the difference. We really enjoyed the comfort, the meals, the attention . . knowing it was a one time experience and we'll be back in the cattle car next time we fly somewhere. Except, of course, we still get first class for our return home, and that will sure make going home a bit easier. A WLM: Found a book someone had left in the apartment for me.

You'd be surprised at what some Southern aristocrats choose to eat. I think I've told before the story of some very aristocratic Jacksonians who used to crack squirrel heads and eat the contents. (They did that only if they knew the people present wouldn't mind.) And then there's my friend, a perfect "southern society belle," whose husband would spend the day at the country club on the days she invited chittlin-loving friends over for a chittlin feast. Her husband refused to be in the house during either the smelly cooking or the comsumption of the chittlins. (He was a yankee -- from St. Louis.)

I still haven't gotten used to the lateness of campus beginnings in Tokyo (though I understand the reason since many of the students, faculty, and staff commute from far away).

That really does surprise me. There used to be a big SDA convention at NMSU every summer, and they always brought their own food with them. That was also the time of year when all the vegetarians in town went and bought food from them. One of my brothers was SDA and a vegetarian. Wasn't, um.... George? Seventh Day Adventist.

He spent the first 45 pages without making a final decision what *should* be considered the Danube's sources.

So, Natalie, if you are the first born, a propitious time and place for your conception was in... like the back corner seat of a cool movie theater somewhere in New Orleans in early August 1935. That was the pre-technicolor age of those wonderful , vaudeville black and white musicals, with a cast of thousands of girls, with fans and tap dance shoes, on a huge revolving stage, dancing like radio city Rockettes, with the big band and all singing (in chorus) in those falsetto voices, stuff like "You're in the Money...."

I remember how, not very far apart from each other, you can have such a variety of climates in Japan. You're on a train, say, in a cold winter climate, and just around the other side of a mountain you see frozen lakes and snow everywhere. While the island to just to the south of Kyoto (is it Shikoku?) is covered in tangerine trees (micans). Do they still sit in pits with blankets (the heat coming from underneath) for meals in winter?

I enjoy late TV--ABC's Ted Kopple with Night Line: Tonight he did an interesting piece on the documentary pioneers--What's his name Friendly (who recently died) and Edward R. Murrow (sp?). The inspiration and driving force behind what most of E.R.M. did was the producer, Friendly. His description of first going into the concentration camps was devastating. He believed that news reporting ought to be so involved in authenticity that the only way out for the analyst/investigator/reporter was to *think*. Then at midnight here, same network, is Bill Maher with Politically Incorrect. And "everything satirized for your own protection." My only regret is that it's just 30 minutes. The reason for my admiration, in a previous post, for Bill Clinton, and for most of the American voting public, is that he holds up under the worst of criticism and fire. He remains presidential, and is ever more popular, according to the polls, while having to answer questions under oath about intimate details of his sex life. Granted, he's a philanderer. So? To hell with this merde that he's supposed to set a moral example for the rest of the country in how he handles an erection, or lets someone else handle it. All that crap that comes from the self-righteous right is nothing more than a political ruse to . They're pissed because he stole their agenda. Remember the Contract with America? He'll go down as one of the great presidents, despite the McCarthyesque, unprincipled hounding of the one-issue fascist, right--Helms/Faircloth et al., with their shoot-himself-in-the-foot puppet-- Kenneth Starr. Mr. Starr, I think, once had visions of ending up on the Supreme Court. Well, he'd just as well forget it. Natalie, you thought OJ was a fiasco. You ought to be here for all of this. While the Pacific Rim countries economically are going down the tubes; Saddam Hussein, who has already used mustard gas and seren on his own people, is courting with his own demise. China's economy is tettering (and if they fall, our economy will feel the impact in a big way). Corruption and nepotism is such a normal way of life in so many of the countries around the . And the proverbial chickens have come home to roost in places like Indonesia, both Koreas, and Thailand, and, yes, Japan--who have made poor investments, etc., etc., etc. And here at home, in the oldest surviving democracy in the World, we have a sharp, popular, intelligent president, with a naziesque prosecutor, protected in ways that still astound me (that special prosecutor thing which amounts to a fourth, fascist branch of government has got to go - I think Republican and Democrat both agree to that) bites away at how he relates to his wife and at every intricate detail of what he does, and has always done with his wee wee. The reason why, IMHO, the movie, Wag the Dog, was no great succes, despite the talent of Dustin Hoffman, was that the piece of fiction it was based on paled when compared to the drama of real life. Art failed to imitate life. Linda Tripp? In addition to being an ass-hole kind of friend to Monica Lawinski (sp?), da bitch ugly. Everyday is a bad hair day with her. She needs to get advice on a from Paula Jones. Never a dull moment. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

That remark stirs childhood memories of being told weird things about the SDAs, but for the life of me, the only remarkable feature about them that I can perceive is that they will not come to work on Saturday, which is sort of a drag today because a few of us are going in to work half-day this morning. In fact, I take that back: one fellow did work a Saturday a few years ago, but groused about it before and after. Maybe the conclusion to be made here is that their sect, like any other, can be prone to extremism.

climb for it, baby. but the new room had a little alcove with a couch where i fantasized about reading and writing. not to be, except for some quick sketches. once i got out into the city every day, i never wanted to retreat to even the most beautiful of rooms.. we'd walk till i dropped, with lots and lots of cappucino breaks. got up to watch the sunrise a couple of days, and discovered the castello in a desparate early morning search for coffee. rode vaporetti, even a gondola one night. still trying to figure out the vaporetti ticket system. while we dutifully bought tourist passes, we never saw a conductor check any tickets. it's either an honor system where the venetians buy monthly passes, or the tourists are subsidizing the city's mass transit. the second option seems more fair. visited the accademia, the guggenheim, the doges' palace and the naval museum. had moments where we were the only ones in certain rooms of all of the above. incredible. we even saw st. mark's square completely deserted. himself kept suggesting naps, but i was obsessed with using every minute to see everything, to listen to it all, to practice my toddler-level italian.. in the most languid of cities, i became manic in my greed for experience. he bought me a cane the third day. we traversed the city in at least one direction every day. whereas i preferred the tiniest, most twisting calles, and the smaller squares, himself was usually aiming for the more open waterside spots. combining these preferences showed us both more. i teetered over the paving in st. mark's in marcel's honor. woke up two days to fog so thick you couldn't see ten feet ahead. fog did much to bolster my time traveling fantasies. that shrouded figure across the piazza could have been a doge. food was erratic. a couple of really good meals, several mediocre. but mediocre there is still good here. beware of restaurants with translated menus. had coffee at florian's the first night and almost cried with joy. later had drinks at a couple of the fancy hotels, just for the elegance of it. but my favorite place was the bar of the dead, a wine bar with huge casks and terrific snacks by the fish market. if only they'd had stools. in italy, the price of anything eaten or drunk at a counter increases drastically when served at a table. we were often happy to pay the rent on the chairs. saw one coffee shop that advertised free seating. a guy from long island owned it. wore my heavy wool coat every single day and liked the cold. i was one of the few women in cloth coats. never seen so many furs in my life, from obvious 20th anniversary, 20-year-old, minks to incredible fendis. saw one family where the mother and two toddler daughters had matching furs. took the usual pathetic pleasure in being asked for directions several times. oh, and everyone had cell phones. strange to be riding down the grand canal and have the person next to you shouting *pronto* after digging into her purse. while the city was as quiet as it gets when we first arrived, the approach of carnevale was obvious. children started wearing costumes the first weekend we were there. masks appeared in most store windows and all the stands. masks and carnevale hats increased as carnevale approached. two nights before we left, the population seemed to double. streets, alleys, and squares suddenly crowded. day before we left, yet more throngs and a subwayish crowd made it take twenty minutes to cross a bridge we'd walked over dozens of times in one or two. what were all these people doing in my city? we braved the crowds saturday night just to see the costumes. unbelievably elaborate figures, traveling in groups at a slow and stately pace. goofy jester hats on kids with backpacks. a whole drag group in ballgowns and powdered wigs. many of the same costumed figures were still parading sunday morning. we hauled our luggage down the stairs and to the train station. it was only the crowds that let me leave. maureen From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Mar 7 14:36:00 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id OAA16606 for ; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 14:35:59 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803072035.OAA16606@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.064FD490@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 16:35:22 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 9913; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 16:34:07 -0500 Date: Sat, 7 Mar 1998 13:21:15 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: floreant Subject: march To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU if i'd remembered about march madness, i would have stayed in ireland. maureen From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Mar 7 14:49:22 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id OAA16734 for ; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 14:49:21 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803072049.OAA16734@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.E44A8050@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 16:48:44 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 0612; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 16:47:29 -0500 Date: Sun, 8 Mar 1998 06:59:34 +0900 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Natalie Maynor Subject: Places and Times and Trains and Stuff To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Betty: >That's when we go to Mexico.

That would indeed have been a propitious start. But I was not the first born. And the first born was born in '39. I still don't know what kind of bc they used, but they somehow managed to plan the timing of our arrivals well. They said that they couldn't afford to have a child immediately so decided to wait four years to have the first one. And then to have me four years after that since they thought a four-year spread between children was wise for tuition purposes. >I remember how, not very far apart from each other, you can have such >a variety of climates in Japan.

But people often close all the doors from the dining room to keep the room warmer (much too hot usually, imho). Same with a/c in summer, though they don't seem to be as much into over-cooling rooms as they do into over-heating them. The over-heating reminds me of my (few) winter experiences in the northern US. I still don't understand why people want to have interiors of buildings 80+ degrees in a season when you're likely to have on heavy clothes. >I enjoy late TV--ABC's Ted Kopple with Night Line: Tonight he did an I'm going to miss Ted when I return to the US. Nightline comes on here at 5 p.m. on some days, followed by about five minutes of music and scenery, which is then followed by Blake and Asha's World News Now. I might get up early enough some mornings to watch B&A in the US since I think they come on there very early a.m. But I'm sure I won't stay up late enough to watch Ted. >Natalie, you thought OJ was a fiasco.

I've gotten some interesting views of it, however, since my newspaper is very much international in that it consists of news stories from many different wire services throughout the world, some things written locally (or sometimes translated from its Japanese sister newspaper -- Yomiuri Shimbun), and editorials/columns from many different countries. So I've seen a fair amount of the non-US perspective of the Washington zoo -- the amazement at and ridicule of the US interest in where BC's sinclair has or hasn't been wandering. Espen: >If I take the 7:00 bus I am at my office around 7:40. If I take the 7:20 This reminds me of a romantic story I heard last night from a couple who met on a train.

It was the Yamanote. And that reminded me of my student last summer who told me of the wonderful fun she and her boyfriend had spending the whole afternoon riding round and round on the Yamanote (which loops around central Tokyo). -- Natalie (maynor@gol.com) From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Mar 7 14:49:25 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id OAA16745 for ; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 14:49:25 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803072049.OAA16745@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.E6CDCFD0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 16:48:48 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 0630; Sat, 7 Mar 1998 16:47:33 -0500 Date: Sun, 8 Mar 1998 06:59:39 +0900 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Natalie Maynor Subject: SDAs To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU abht: >SDAs, but for the life of me, the only remarkable feature about them that >I can perceive is that they will not come to work on Saturday, which is Nor will at least some of them party on Friday nights.

I guess I don't notice this because I look at white pages of text all day long.

Which, while a majority in the EDA industry for the nonce, is admittedly not the majority in the world. There are a lot of banner ads that cause Netscape on UNIX to crash, too.

Le dentiste is Danny Lotz, husband of Billy Graham's daughter. Then I've got two other appointments over the next couple of weeks--one with l' ophthalmologiste, mainly for new specs. Oh, I'll be able to read with ease again! And the other with un urologiste. I'll let you guess what that's for. Nobody knows what nosocomian diseases are. Nobody knows but Jesus. And He told me, but I already knew, Cause I caught one at Duke. But that's not why I'm going to the urologist, let me hasten to say. Mine was a rash and was quickly healed with a prescribed powder. Now, it wasn't one that you go into the ladys' room and take, but you can use a puff if you like, but don't breathe; it's a powerful powder (une poudre puissante, for the Gallically inclined). Une pouTre puissante is a powerful beam, not like a sun one, but like the one you have in your eye. Mine's a mote. An even smaller mote is a motel. You can have one of those in your eye and not even notice it. But 6 is too many. That disorder is called Motel 6, but it's not nosocomian. Bilious Bill No, my liver is fine, thank you very much. It's a bon vivant (a good liver). When I turn yellowish, it'll be from the 10 carrots I consume each day, the juice of which pours out of my new juicer I ordered off of Juno (no, really). There must be in all this. I got this new juicer, see. And it makes wild, healthy drinks (Demotic English for healthful ones), see. You cram in: five carrots, a stalk of celery, half a lemon and a thick slice of onion, see. It don't even need Tobasco, salt, or pepper, or even Worcestershire (see?). I'll make you levitate, as in rise. You'll feel an antigravitational force within, and it's a lift-off. The point is to keep going up, see. And not plunge back into the see, sea. Get a good juicer, you hear? Don't have that Madeira, my Dear. Just drink a potato or garlic tomatoe, Or a carrot 'n celery beer.

But it wasn't. It was a young Japanese man holding something in his hand. He said in English "cheese cracker" and handed me something that resembled a skinny frito. I said "arigato" and accepted it but was not at all sure why he gave it to me. It's not as if he was standing beside me and being polite when opening a bag of food. He was directly behind me.

I don't think this problem arises because you don't have enough memory, but rather because the Sparc 5 only has 8 bit color. Here's a posting from another list about this: From: charlesp@darwin.sfbr.org (Charles Peterson) Date: Fri, 2 Aug 1996 20:59:36 +0600 Subject: Re: S-x86; My netscape problem...BETTER SOLUTION I've got 2 much better solutions to the netscape "cannot allocate color map..." problem. (BTW, this problem typically comes up when you start reading java applets because the java subsystem apparently tries to allocate some more colors, and Netscape itself has already allocated all colors, so none are available. On a limited color (non 24-bit) system, Netscape will, by default, allocate _ALL_ available colors. More at http://www.eis.com/cgi/majordomo/get/solaris-x86-digest/v02.n104 Arnold W.

Strange, if not bizarrrrre, as an old friend of mine used to say--that two wordslers have appointments Monday for broken teeth, and with such eminent dentists. I've saved the piece of the tooth that broke off, what with the ciments these days, his nurse tells me that they might be able to glue it back on. One thing about Danny, he's not all-eager to run the bill up with unnecessary work. For example, he has not x-rayed my mouth in 20 years, simply because he knows I don't like the radiation--he refused to remove an old baby tooth because it served the purpose of keeping the other teeth in line (I still have it, by the way--at least the stump of it)--he never cleans my teeth, or has them cleaned by his assistant, because my mouth is acidic and plaque doesn't form.

Betty, the NPR puzzle is posted on the web on Sunday mornings, between 8:30 and 10 a.m. (Eastern). Well, this week's puzzle has a little more fun to it. At least it's one you can't solve off the top of your head. Here it is: "What is the longest word from the initial letters in a chain of consecutive countries in Europe? For example, you can spell the word FISHY on a trip starting in France, which gives you the letter F; from there you go to Italy for I, Slovenia for S, Hungary for H, and Yugoslavia for Y. That's a 5-letter answer -- what's the best that you can do? To count, the countries must be CONNECTED BY LAND, and the initial letters must be taken in order. We're using the standard English language names for the countries (for example: HUNGARY, not MAGYAR REPUBLIC); you may return to a country and repeat its initial in your trip, but you CAN'T stand on a country and use its initial twice in a row. Your answer word must be uncapitalized and unhyphenated. As always, our authority for acceptable words is Merriam-Webster's 10th Collegiate Dictionary."

"Urn" alone is of course valid, but a three letter word isn't very impressive. espen From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sun Mar 8 07:59:00 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id HAA28080 for ; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 07:58:59 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803081358.HAA28080@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.BD516140@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; 8 Mar 1998 9:58:26 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 5158; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 09:57:11 -0500 Date: Sun, 8 Mar 1998 16:01:00 +0100 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "Espen S.

Is this merely a memory problem? Because you can get around it with starting Netscape with the -install option. But then you get reverse video, which makes me feel like I am having a seizure. If it were a memory problem, I don't think that everyone in my company would be affected. This is listed in our manuals, too--I doubt all of our customers have insufficient memory.

My Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary lists the "political divisions" of Europe as including Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia (part), Ukraine, United Kingdom, Vatican City, and Yugoslavia. The gimmick is that the countries have to be connected in a consecutive chain, if I understand the rules correctly. So you can use the letters F-I in that order because France and Italy border each other, but you couldn't use, say, F-A because France and Austria share no border.

I can be wrong about this, of course. As I understood what I heard, the study is about the extent to which the mussels spread. Clyde would know more about this. They know that the mussels adhere to ship hulls, and I think the question is: can they get off somewhere along the way and then spread without a carrier like a ship. And if yes, how and how far?

I don't know (embarassed grin here) but here are som info places on the web: (Quote from this page: "Xresund Link Includes Bridge and Tunnel The Xresund link will connect Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, with Malmx, a major Swedish commercial and industrial city. The link will consist of three parts. 1.A 3.7-kilometer sunken-tube tunnel, claimed to be the world's longest, will connect the Danish coast to a reclaimed island. 2.The 3.9-kilometer reclaimed island will support a viaduct which provides a transition between the tunnel and the bridge. 3.The 7.47-kilometer bridge connects the reclaimed island to Sweden. The link, which will carry both train and vehicular traffic, will provide an economic boon to the economies of both countries since it will connect the regions to the European high speed railway network. ES-CONSULT was chosen from several organizations to consult on the bridge project. Ensuring Safety ES-CONSULT's goal was to propose a bridge design which was both safe and economical. They even tested for what would happen if a large ship crashed into it at the same time a high-speed train crossed its length of 7,470 meters. To make sure that the 60 tons per meter weight bridge would not crumble or the train not jump the tracks, the engineers conducted a number of finite element analyses on each of their designs. "The simultaneous crash of a large ship while a train is using the bridge is not an unlikely occurrence given the traffic we expect over and under the Xresund," said Jakob Laigaard Jensen, an engineer with ES-CONSULT."

In my paperback MW from 1989 there is a part called "Foreign Words and Phrases". Does that mean that one can use words from this part, too? The problem seems to be to decide where is Europe's southern border with Asia between the Caspian and the Black Sea?

Depending on how one defines Sinai Egypt may or may not be another one.) So Azerbaijanis and Armenians have never been considered European by me for instance. On the other hand it may be that this whole area - extending to the south and north of the Caucasus should be called something different from either Europe or Asia. espen From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sun Mar 8 13:42:59 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id NAA01816 for ; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 13:42:58 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803081942.NAA01816@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.BF7DB650@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; 8 Mar 1998 15:42:06 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 1655; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 14:46:42 -0500 Date: Sun, 8 Mar 1998 14:42:03 EST Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Brad Grissom Subject: Re: Movies To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: Message of Sun, 8 Mar 1998 20:26:08 +0100 from X-Mailer: MailBook 96.02.327 Message-Id: <980308.144737.EST.BGRISSOM@ukcc.uky.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Dr. Strangelove: >"Gentlemen, you cannot fight here.

We heard most of the set of another local, Kevin So, who was followed by the interesting Jim's Big Ego. Following an intermission, and the giveaway of three pairs of tickets to Falcon Ridge (rats, no winners between us), came Peter Mulvey -- nice guitar work -- and the bluesy June Rich. Then there was another intermission, more FRFF tickets raffled off (they missed Emily by just two numbers this time), and finally the headliners. Unlike the earlier acts -- half an hour and off the stage -- Moxy played pretty much a full set. But what a strange set it was ... according to my scribbled notes, which were not fully decipherable in the light of day today: I Love My Boss Michigan Militia *The Present Tense Tureen Johnny Saucep'n You Will Go to the Moon *The Greatest Man in America *#Boo Time [much patter and improvisation] Fly My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors River Valley [patter and improvisation] *#@Today's the Day We Fight Back *#Nuits de Reve King of Spain Green Eggs & Ham Love Potion No. 9 medley ------------ The Drinking Song ------------ Gulf War Song * = first time I've heard it live # = first time Emily's heard it live (I think) @ = first time heard at all, by either of us The never-before-heard song is a political anthem of opposition to the Progressive Conservative dismantling of Ontario. It seems strange that they'd play it for an American audience, but the cause clearly means a great deal to the guys. Maybe the 'Canadian content' French song was presented in the same spirit. Jian and Dave (head still shaved) seemed a bit out of sorts, while Mike was strong all night. Murray was his usual steady self. For local flavor, the KofS was introduced as 'former Bruin superstar Cam Neely.' A tiny bit of their thunder was stolen when Peter Mulvey used 'Goodnight Irene' as his encore ... I wondered aloud whether MF would still do 'The Drinking Song.' By the end, the guys all seemed tired. I got the feeling that they wouldn't have complained had the audience failed to demand a second encore. After noting that the Somerville Theater must have been built long before amplification (vaudeville?), they sang 'Gulf War Song' standing all the way in the front of the stage, without microphones. The show ended just after 1am, so it's a good thing we ignored the advice given in FDC to park elsewhere and take the T to Davis Square. We got only slightly lost trying to find the place, had little difficulty parking once we got there. Although I was less disoriented than Emily during our short lost period, I wasn't together enough to notice the red light I ran. Luckily, no cops were on the scene when I did so -- no harm, no foul. Emily is now wending her way back to New Haven. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Neal Traven baseball@worldpath.net "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever" -- Larry Andersen, relief pitcher From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sun Mar 8 13:43:23 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id NAA01832 for ; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 13:43:22 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803081943.NAA01832@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.D90BEB00@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; 8 Mar 1998 15:42:49 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 2050; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 14:53:35 -0500 Date: Sun, 8 Mar 1998 19:15:00 +0100 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: steph Subject: Re: The Sunday Puzzle To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19980308164745.008e77c0@nora.hd.uib.no> from "Espen S.

Briefly: 1. We met about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. After being introduced to JJ (The Wonder Lab), and in turn running Jim by my house to meet Bonehead (get him to tell you how famously they got on!) I took him to one of my neighborhood dives featuring *cold* beer and sandwiches to die for. We had a late lunch, some beer, a little UNC/MD basketball, and a lot of chatter. He's funny as hell, btw, if you didn't already know that. 2. I took him back to his hotel for a rest and a shower, then grabbed him again about 7:30 for "a drink" at the house of my friend, Sharon, before dinner. "A drink" turned into 2 hours and the better part of 2 bottles of wine. Poor Jim. We finally ambled out of there about 10:45, and went to eat in the Fan District, at The Taphouse, where I had quesadillas (yum) and a Legend Lager (Hi, Boo!), and Jim ate a burger (which he also pronounced quite tasty, though I'm reasonably sure Jim didn't say then -- and would most likely never say -- "yum") and downed a Guiness Stout. Again, much talking took place. God, he's funny as hell. 3. This morning brought rain (as has been the case pretty much all winter, this weekend included -- I'm afraid the impression of Richmond that Jim will take away from this trip is that it's a LOT like Seattle, but without the Space Needle and the decent coffee), and I collected him about 11:30. We joined my sister, Pooh, and her boyfriend, Matt, for brunch at Southern Culture (also in The Fan). Cajun omlettes (sp? that looks funky), poached eggs over Baby Cakes (like crabcakes, but made with crab, shrimp, and crawfish) over English Muffin, with jalapeno hollandaise sauce (VERY good), hash browns, biscuits. And Bloody Marys. And talking and laughing -- LOTS of laughing. Have I mentioned that Jim is funny as hell? Anyway. He's on his way to DC for a day or so, then down to NC (Phyllis, Giggles, don't say I didn't warn you). My advice is: take a nap *before* he arrives. I've learned the hard way, and am on my way to take one now. -hope WORTH NOTING #1: JJ is probably the most beautiful, most endearing black lab I've ever met WORTH NOTING #2: We didn't dish the list much at all (Jim and I, that is. JJ and I dished y'all plenty).

Orig. pub. Hachette 1978, but I'm reading a later English translation. A 500-page novel with no plot, but 100 plots. A novel with an index. The best descriptive writing I've ever seen. The gist of it is that an artist decides to paint a final work that will encompass everything he's seen. This book is about the apartment building in which he has lived for many years. It describes each apartment or room in exquisite detail, and then digresses into interesting stories or anecdotes about all the residents, past and present. Nowhere but in this book would you find a 20-stone woman dressed as a Quaker, on her way to a masquerade ball whilst carrying a large jar of pickles under her arm. And in the lid to this jar is secreted a tarantula, because...this woman intends to murder someone. This is just one page of the 500. You've gotta read it! Last several pages got wet, but it's free to a good home when I've finished. alyce From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sun Mar 8 13:56:07 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id NAA01967 for ; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 13:56:06 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803081956.NAA01967@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.A18EADA0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; 8 Mar 1998 15:55:35 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 5388; Sun, 8 Mar 1998 15:54:19 -0500 Date: Sun, 8 Mar 1998 13:55:17 -0700 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "JOHN WHAT'S-THE-M-FOR?

Now that you mention it I think I knew that - my picture of central Europe is a bit blurred, but Austria is further south, right?

I'm getting drained. This is really hard work. Morgan is mostly bedridden now. He can still get in and out of bed with difficult, and can walk to the kitchen or the bathroom. But that's about it. He weighs about 102 pounds, and it is so painful to see him trying to sit. Last night he tried to sit on the floor in front of the fire, despite my begging him not to. I know he needs to do these things, and I try not to narc at him too much. But as I feared, he could not get up, and I had to help him. A friend is coming this morning so I can go to the chiropractor. I think his body is shutting down at last. He eats very, very little, and rarely drinks. Mostly he sleeps. He used to love the X-Files, but no longer watches because it gives him nightmares. This I understand. We have a hospital bed in the living room, and he pretty much lives in it. Our bed is already lonely at night, but I have a nursery monitor so I can hear him. I HATE sleeping alone. It is strange to do so after 18 years. We have never been apart for more than a few days in all that time. And I always hated having him away. I am reading a book called Widow's Walk. It is helping. I haven't wanted to bum you out by writing, but then I realized how much I need you all. One of you has suggested to me that I need to tell people what I need, because they probably don't know what to say. I just need to know what I still exist for you. I don't know what I need. Sylvia understands. You want to ask for things. You know that people are wanting to do something. But what the hell do you ask for when nothing will make it okay? I guess I would like to get cards in the mail. Not email; not animated greeting cards; real live in-the-mailbox-mail. That would be cool. Many of you have sent cards, and they are much appreciated. I have kept them all and will continue to do so. Yea, that's what I want. Funny cards. And to keep reading Words-L. A little spot of lively sanity in a mad, mad world.

I went to the drs. to find out what I already knew, I had bronchitis. Actually, I still have it. The dr. gave me some cough medicine with codeine. I stopped taking it when it gave me diaherria. She also gave me some antibiotic that made me sick to my stomach. I stopped taking this too because I was finally feeling better and I really wanted to eat something. As it's been a while since I've been this sick, I thought I would take the opportunity to list a few of the highlights. They're in two categories, good things and bad. Good things about being home all week: 1) I didn't once need to take a Tagament to settle my stomach after a stressful meeting. 2) I saved money by not going out to lunch every day of the week. Hell, I saved money by not eating for three days! 3) Rosie O'Donnell is cute. 4) Oprah is proud of herself for surviving her Amarillo ordeal 5) Back to back reruns of All in the Family starting at 1pm 6) Judge Judy at 6pm 7) Friday night, when I was feeling well enough to leave the house, I got to touch an Olympic Gold Medal. It's heavier than it looks! Bad things about being home all week: 1) Numbers 3-6 from the above list are not enough to keep one entertained for 5 days in a row. 2) The autobiography of Rita Mae Brown I'm currently reading is annoying me. Even if she does mention Shulamith Firestone, provoking an AHT WLM. She thinks a lot of heself. Also, her negative comments about "Yankees" have aggravated me to the point where I want to write her a letter telling her so. 3) Much to my dismay, I learned, I really couldn't live in my bed and be happy.. it's not *that* comfortable. 4) My girlfriend took 2 of the 5 days off and ended up annoying me instead of helping. Not to mention the night she came in a 4 am, woke me up and induced a coughing fit that landed me on the couch. I would have been fine had she stayed at her own apartment that night. 5) I had to sift though over 1000 e-mails between my work account and my delphi account. Well, that's it. That's all I have to share in regards to my week at home. lisa From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Mon Mar 9 17:07:55 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id RAA21813 for ; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 17:07:54 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803092307.RAA21813@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.988F9DB0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 19:07:25 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 7948; Mon, 9 Mar 1998 19:06:09 -0500 Date: Mon, 9 Mar 1998 16:06:40 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Betty Clark Subject: Re: Sick To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: <199803092350.PAA16384@uclink4.berkeley.edu> On Mon, 9 Mar 1998, Lisa Alfieri wrote: > > Well, that's it.

Unless, of course, I want to stay employed. A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem. As I let go of my feelings of guilt, I can get in touch with my Inner Sociopath. I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self- righteous people around me. Today, I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so." False hope is nicer than no hope at all. I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper and complain. As I learn the innermost secrets of the people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet. I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault. I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more. I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all. Joan of Arc heard voices too. When someone hurts me, forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit. But not nearly as gratifying. The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things. As I learn to trust the universe, I no longer need to carry a gun. All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts. I am at one with my duality. Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots. I will strive to live each day as if it were my 40th birthday. Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears Does my quiet self-pity get to me? Yes? Or should I move up to incessant nagging? I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and local laws. Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day watching TV. Instead I will move my TV into the bedroom. Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me just a minute... I'll find someone. Why should I waste my time reliving the past when I can spend it worrying about the future? The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working. I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage. Becoming aware of my character defects leads me to the next step: blaming my parents. To understand all is to fear all. I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at. The next time the universe knocks on my door, I will pretend I am not home. To have a successful relationship, I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting. I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them. In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others. My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment.

That's all I have to share in regards to my week at home. >I want Olympic stories from your friends! What did they say? >Betty I haven't actually talked to the Olympians yet. I did talk to the girlfriend of one and she told me a little bit about what it was like. First, it was a big pain in the ass because they were staying 1.5 hours away from downtown Nagano and it cost $60 a day to take the train to see the games. It also wasn't as simple as taking a train to the event center. Apparently, all modes of transportation had to be invoked to get anywhere. She lost a lot of weight because all she would eat was french fries. Asking if something was chicken would get the response, "Yes, chicken", "yes beef" or "yes, monkey head" depending on who you asked. Security at the Olympic Village was tight. Erin did get to sneak in but, she was afraid of being shot. Once in the Village she ate MacDonalds 4 times in one day. The team was constantly mobbed and asked for photos and autographs. People were crazy for the hockey team and it was difficult for them to get around. Even when they went to Hawaii after the Olympics, the were mobbed. They were interrupted during meals and anyone near them had pieces of paper shoved in their face, looking for autographs. Despite all this, it was the most incredible time and she won't trade it for the world. Hopefully, I'm going out to dinner with one of them tonight so, I'll have more to report later. lisa From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Tue Mar 10 08:33:06 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id IAA03427 for ; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 08:33:05 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803101433.IAA03427@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.DA6BCC00@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 10:32:40 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 3324; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 10:31:12 -0500 Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 10:31:27 -0500 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "Phyllis C.

Bill--So sorry that you have to get such an expensive crown, but you have a kindly dentist if he allows you to pay as you go. I was much luckier. It turns out that I did not break off my tooth at all. What happened was that I lost a huge porcelain filling. I can't see all that well, especially into the depths of my mouth, and what I saw was a black stump, I thought. So it simply took a wad of amalgam (color C3) and $30.00, and I am back in business. However, I was told this is a very "iffy" tooth and I should learn to chew on the other side of my mouth, because this could happen again at the slightest provocation, and will not be savable (save-able?) forever. alyce From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Tue Mar 10 12:31:47 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id MAA07013 for ; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 12:31:45 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803101831.MAA07013@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.2F0706A0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 14:31:16 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 6479; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 14:30:00 -0500 Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 11:30:25 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Betty Clark Subject: Re: Sick To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: <199803101523.HAA29684@uclink4.berkeley.edu> On Tue, 10 Mar 1998, Lisa Alfieri wrote: > > Despite all this, it was the most incredible time and she won't trade it for > the world.

Royal Bank is the largest of the "big five" banks. Canadian banks are generally much larger than US ones, but there are only a few (plus the hundred or so foreign banks operating subsidiaries here, e.g. Hong Kong Bank of Canada, Citibank Canada, etc.) Royal Bank and the third largest Bank of Montreal recently announced that they want to merge, but it is far from a given that this will receive regulatory approval, since it would create a truly mega-size bank with something like a third of all Canadians as customers. How all this will affect what goes on at your local branch of SFNB I have no idea. Probably not much will change that wouldn't have changed anyway. I'm sure they're not going to change your account to $CA overnight... Tony H.

That song (not one of their greatest, I'd say) was composed and recorded in less than a week for the NO mega-CD all as part of the opposition to the forced amalgamation of the City of Toronto with its six suburbs into a "megacity" (no mega-CD - get it ?) The same disk has music by Nancy White, Rheostatics, Oliver Schroer, and the Singing Citizens Gospel Choir, as well as readings by John Raulston Saul, Margaret Atwood, and others. I wouldn't call any of the instant music great, but it's amazing the whole thing went from concept to retail sales in seven days. Tony H.

Seems there were these two Adolph Schickelgruber wannabes up near Dallas who thought it was time to act on their white supremicist ideas. They decided to go out and "shoot some blackies". Well, the first qualified minority they happened to encounter was this 19 year old girl they used to work with. She is described as "suffering from a borderline mental deficiency". Anyway, they told her they would take her to work, then took her out in the country and used her for target practice. They were later caught out in West Texas and returned to Dallas County. Their excuse--they did it for the adrenaline rush. IMHO, I think these mental giants deserve rat shot on dangling cojones at 25 yards, graduating to .357s at 5 yds. Or, perhaps we can return to that honored Native American practice of stripping skin off a bit at a time. I would even volunteer to do it. Damn, that pissed me off.

Yup. My grandmother did too--even in her 80s. Her last project was a beautiful tablecloth of squares in a sort of a shell design. She did finish all the squares, but died before she could sew them together, so my mother did that. And Mother was doing counted cross stitch until she became too ill (73). I couldn't even *see* the threads, and she was zipping right along counting them.

Sun had warned the other day that they might have disappointing earnings, and the stock fell. But today it turned out that their earnings were OK and I think the stock went up almost $3. Sorry, I can't remember the exact numbers, but it encouraged buyers and most of the tech stocks rose on the NASDAQ today as a result. alyce alyce From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Tue Mar 10 22:46:34 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id WAA15514 for ; Tue, 10 Mar 1998 22:46:33 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803110446.WAA15514@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.16EF2830@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 0:46:12 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 3315; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 00:44:56 -0500 Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 21:46:08 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Karen Kay Subject: Re: Help!

She sounded like an interesting person, one that I can work with. I'm being a lot pickier this time about the kind of company and kind of manager that I'm looking at. My current position was perfect for me when I went there, but it changed; unfortunately, my idea of perfection hasn't. Based on the success of my interview at this place that wanted to hire me but had to put it off, I decided to check out various lists of internet-related/multimedia companies. There are so many totally cool products out there! Unfortunately, most of them are in San Francisco or the East Bay. But it's still rather mind-boggling.

How > closely do you have to work with a manager anyway? Close enough that it makes a difference. My current buzzwords are collaborative vs. hierarchical. My current manager is hierarchical; I prefer a collaborative environment. This hierarchical shit sucks. I have a lot of trouble respecting someone because their title indicates that they are senior to me. Collaboration is a beautiful thing, however.

Plotkin for his welcome message, which was much appreciated. I have much enjoyed A. Hartfield's recent "ineffectual daily affirmations", that someone on the list described as 'too true to life'. Now Heather mentions the interesting "woman's voice" quote, that K. Miller finds vaguely Shavian. It's not alas in my Concise Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, nor in J M Cohen's Penguin one. While on quotes, a friend of mine has founded The Epitaph Society for the Preservation of Churchyard Literature, and wonder if wordslers have favourite ones to share. I don't think I have a favourite myself, perhaps just as well. I do have a thing about quotes of popular songs, so I suppose my favourite may be, though, one that I spotted in the British section of our Chacarita cemetery. It may not be very original: "Abide with me" (The Bible source being: (To Jesus) "Abide with us, for the night is near". I understand the Christian Science hymnbook has an optimist version of Lyte's victorian hymn, and, I read in the Concise Oxford Dictionary of quotations, so did the Tommies on the march in 1914: O Death, where is thy sting-a-ling-ling, O Grave thy victoree?

When the two white-supremicists who used to be stationed at Fort Bragg were sentenced to life in prison rather than death for murdering two blacks at random, I wondered if the jury intended the riony of the punishment. Even though these two creeps are supposed to be kept separate from the other prisioners, I suspect they will spend the rest of their lives looking over their shoulders wondering if someone will get past the guards or when a guard might be looking the other way. - phyllis_petree@unc.edu From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Wed Mar 11 10:47:32 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id KAA26149 for ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 10:47:30 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803111647.KAA26149@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.CF002280@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 12:47:11 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 1148; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 12:45:54 -0500 Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 12:46:08 -0500 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "Phyllis C.

Actually, this came up in a book about Latinos in the Bay Area. They do not like the term "Hispanic". I think it's because they come from Mexico.

A ruana is a garment. Imagine a poncho with a split up the front, so it hangs down in two tails in front of you. One of these tails is tossed in a devil-may-care manner over the opposite shoulder. I have one somewhere and like it a lot, except that it tends to get into topological difficulties with shoulder bags and shoulder straps. Hispanic--->Latino is one of those Oriental--->Asian transitions, I think. Latinos of Mexican, Central American and South American ancestry point out, with some accuracy, that they are not "Hispanic" -- they have nothing in common with Spain but a language.

I don't think this meant "calm traffic to be expected ahead" or "kindly calm yourself" - rather it was probably a warning along the lines of "speed bumps ahead". We have traffic calming measures on our street - planters, raised curbs and the like to try to slow traffic. Tony H.

To add to the confusion, 'Hispanic' is an official guvmint 'race' code -- to HCFA, a person can be Unknown (0), White (1), Black (2), Other (3), Asian (4), Hispanic (5), or North American Native (6). There's no provision for mixed race ... you have to choose one and only one code. That ordering of the codes, with Other stuck in the middle, is because codes 4-6 were added sometime after SSA or HCFA started collecting data. BTW, there was no attempt to 'update' those categorized under the 0-3 choices into the 0-6 codes. Before that date (in the '70s?), the 4's and 6's were certainly part of 3. The 5's, however, are an intriguing case. I don't see how 'Hispanic' can be placed in the same set as the others ... by no stretch of the imagination is it a race. Jose Feliciano and Roberto Clemente are/were both 'Hispanics' -- both Puerto Ricans, as a matter of fact -- but if there were no such 'race' code I'd be perfectly comfortable coding the former as a 1, the latter as a 2. It makes for problems in many situations. For instance, I heard a report today about some sort of association between Alzheimer's disease and a particular allele of the enzyme apolipoprotein-e. The association was reported to be stronger in blacks and Hispanics than in whites -- odds ratios something like 4.5 for blacks/whites, 2.5 for Hispanics/whites. Without additional data, I'd surmise that the association is actually some sort of black/white genetic difference, and that the supposed Hispanic association is largely an artifact of the lumping-together of blacks and whites (and perhaps Native Americans as well) under that non-race term. -- neal traven Northeast Health Care Quality Foundation * * * * * "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever" -- Larry Andersen, relief pitcher From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Wed Mar 11 16:27:59 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id QAA00407 for ; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 16:27:58 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803112227.QAA00407@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.602D01E0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 18:27:40 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 1473; Wed, 11 Mar 1998 18:26:24 -0500 Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 15:26:28 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Karen Kay Subject: Re: Question for New Englanders To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: from "Tony Harminc" at Mar 11, 98 05:16:50 pm Tony Harminc said: > Every Ontarian knows Lake St. Clair is the sixth Great Lake.

To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Date: Sun, 18 Aug 1991 02:03:00 IST Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: TUSHAR SAMANT Subject: I take your leave. To: Tony Harminc Dear Sir/Madam, This is my last letter to WORDS-L. I now have to return to a village where there are no computors and no electronic network. A propos list-servers, I think that there are some differences between discussions on lists and ordinary verbal discussions. They are : 1 At the time of sending a letter, one does not have any knowledge of what the others are sending. This results in several people sending identical replies to a question. 2 People in the same geographical area are logged into their computors at the same time, and hence can achieve something resembling a conversation. People who can consult the machine infrequently and at odd times always have to see a discussion which has been completed, or a series of remarks which have gone stale with time. Realising this, I always attempted to send things which were necessary, relatively independent of topicalities, and likely to be new. I also habitually collected several points in one letter which I sent (or to be precise, asked my friend to send). I am naturally grieved to leave this excellent list, since I gained enormous benefit from it. It has managed, in an almost unnoticeable manner, to smoothen the rough edges of my english, in which present progressives proliferate no more, which is much less awkwardnessful, and whose "quaint charm", I am happy to say, is to a greater or lesser extent a thing of the past. I am still recalling my first letter to WORDS-L, and I compare it often with my second. I am thinking I may well lay claim to being the fastest convert from the "prescriptivist" to the "descriptivist" fashion of thinking. It is in such ways, and many more, that WORDS-L helped me. It sobered me from a grammar-drunkenness and intoxicated me with a very different, and heightened, sense of language. This has been due to the fact that WORDS-L is a list of people who talk about their topics, and not of academics who discuss theirs. This, I feel, is one strength of such a list. I will certainly not forget WORDS-L ever. I hope that my own contributions, if they were inconsequential, at least did no great damage to the list. I take the opportunity to apologise now if I hurt anyone with my occasional clowning. It was not meant to be serious. And - if I may start a sentence with an and - if my writing struck you as stilted, formal, boring or dull, then I can always take shelter behind the argument that the list was actually enriched by another variety of english ! Goodbye. Yours Sincerely, Virupaksha Mokshagundam.

The local rag started capitalizing the adjective "white" within the last month, for reasons I can only presume have to do with being consistent with other "racial" designations. I can't speak about other areas, but in this benighted corner of the Republic neither 'Latin' nor 'Hispanic' are used in either English or Spanish, that I've noticed, but around here the "Spanish-speaking" population is fairly, uh, monolithic, I suppose would be the term, but have the following characteristics: A. A small but vocal minority who brindle at *any* term other than "American"; B. A majority who, in English, go along with "Mexican- American" but tend to prefer "Spanish-speaking"; C. A lower socio-economic strata that tends toward "La Raza"; (we're talking Spanish-language, here) D. Everyone else, including the media, goes with "La Gente". (Same qualifier) Other than THAT, the designator-of-choice is Nation Of Origin, unless you happen to be Cuban, in which case you keep your mouth shut and work on your accent. Hey, what can I say?

One of the people I interviewed at the company where I hope to work--in fact, this is the person that I would have been reporting to, or so he said. He did things like, when he talked, he watched me to make sure I was responding, but when I talked, he deliberately looked away and talked over me. It was annoying, but rather predictable. I called this Silicon Valley White Boy behavior. It's kind of conversational aggression just for the practice; one of the marketing guys I really like does this sometimes. It's like someone who works out a lot flexing their muscles. FWIW, this person liked me a lot; two other people told me that he really wanted to hire me. Of course he doesn't know I called him a white boy.

Right now, when I'm consciously eating a lot more protein than usual, I eat more than that -- but it's the first time in many years that I have, and I still don't come anywhere close to your average (in fact, I'd say I'm still eating less than half that much meat). Pre-diet, I probably ate an average of one serving of meat per day, about 6 oz. or so (some days more, some less). While I recognize that being female, part of the class that is currently following trends toward eating large piles of rice and pasta, and in the Bay Area, definitely sets me apart from statistical norms -- but still, a kilo of meat a day sounds absurd for anybody but a farmhand.

That means that on average everyone is eating more than a half pound of meat or poultry per day. Given that children surely eat less than that, and that vegetarians eat none, many people must be eating a pound a day, or more. Is this possible? I have been known to eat two Whoppers on rare occasions, but more likely I eat only 4-6 oz. of meat or poultry a day, so someone else has to add my 2-4 statistical ounces to his/her half pound. alyce From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Thu Mar 12 10:29:51 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id KAA13075 for ; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 10:29:50 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803121629.KAA13075@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.844231D0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 12:29:35 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 2140; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 12:28:19 -0500 Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 11:29:27 -0600 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "Joseph D.

She's taking some time right now to think about whether or not she wants to be with me. When she does get around to talking to me about how she feels, I'm going to tell her I'm done. There mere fact that she needs to think about it bugs the hell out of me. Not to mention the fact that she's been quite rude to me about wanting some time to herself. What amazes me is, I'm not all that upset about this. I'm more upset because she's taking too long to cut me loose! I have no plans to run out and start dating someone else or anything like that. I'm just done with this relation- ship. The odd thing is, dyke break ups are usually filled with drama and such. I just don't feel like going through all that. She might go through her own drama but, I'm not going to do that. I'm just going to continue on. I slept alone for the first time in a long time last night and I liked it. I didn't miss her and I didn't miss having someone next to me. Previously, when we spent a night a part, I felt uncomfortable because there wasn't another body there. Now, I kinda like having the bed to myself. I like not having to get up earlier so we can both get to work on time. I like not having to shop for two, cook for two and drive around the city trying to accomodate both of our schedules. One of the things I've learned about myself is. I'm pretty good with break ups. By the time they happen, I'm so ready for them, they're easy. I tend to be more upset when I like someone and she doesn't want to date me then when it's time to break up. I have this odd sense of satifaction. Mostly it come from being proud of this relationship. I learned a lot about myself through it. I found a new capacity to love, which I didn't know I had. I also achieved a new level of self-confidence I didn't know I could reach. Maybe that's why I'm done, I've learned what I could from this and I don't feel like I'm going to get anything more out of it. Well, that's about it, I'm done patting myself on the back. I just felt like sharing. lisa From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Thu Mar 12 12:35:17 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id MAA14625 for ; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 12:35:16 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803121835.MAA14625@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.0AE8CE40@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 14:35:02 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 8600; Thu, 12 Mar 1998 14:33:46 -0500 Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 13:32:55 -0600 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Richard Scheidt Subject: Re: Sick To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU >Intentional or unintentional?

This is why > cheeseburgers are not kosher. 'Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk...' It goes something like that. The only exception is that you're permitted to eat an udder (can't remove all of the milk). The Talmudists (or maybe someone else) somehow decided that you could eat meat three hours after milk, but had to wait six hours after meat to enjoy milk foods. Under the rules of kashrut, fish is *not* meat; hence, herring in sour cream and other such 'delicacies.' I think it's because 'meat' comes from beings that have feet -- beyond that requirement, mammals also have to have cloven hooves and chew their cud to qualify (hence, no pork or horsemeat). I know of no special qualifications for fowl. There are also regs concerning beasts that swim, even if they aren't meat. They must have scales, so mollusks and crustaceans are prohibited. So too are cetaceans. So too are sharks. -- neal traven Northeast Health Care Quality Foundation * * * * * "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever" -- Larry Andersen, relief pitcher From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Fri Mar 13 09:43:55 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id JAA29017 for ; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 09:43:51 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803131543.JAA29017@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.43B4BB60@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 11:43:39 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 9394; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 11:42:22 -0500 Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 08:36:57 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "Janet W.

In the language itself, hispanoamericano=latinoamericano, and I am pretty certain that the terms were invented to distinguish that part of America colonized/conquered/settled/purloined by the countries of Hispania, which include not only Spain but Portugal (hispanoamerica), or to distinguish that part of America in which the language is derived primarily from Latin. By that definition, of course, Quebec could be called part of Latin America, I suppose. The latino/hispanic sensitivity about terminology puzzles me. Seems like an indicator of some kind of inferiority complex. I think it is correct to assume that this sensitivity is evident only among people of Latin American descent living in the U.S. and is not evident in their own countries. In Central/Southern Mexico, in Colomiba, in Chile, I imagine that latinoamericano-hispanoamericano are interchangeable, passion-free terms. Maybe. --ggs From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Fri Mar 13 11:15:21 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id LAA00278 for ; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 11:15:17 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803131715.LAA00278@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.0B053E90@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 13:15:07 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 1073; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 13:13:50 -0500 Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 10:11:55 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: "Janet W.

Petree" Subject: How Weird To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU I had something odd happen to me last week and thought I should tell the list. I bought a new brand of bird seed for my feeders. I also bought a bag of cracked corn to mix with the seed since the birds that hang out in my yard seem to like corn. I didn't pay much attention to the writing on the birdseed bag other than to notice the brand name was "Squirrel-free." When it came time to fill the feeders (last Thursady), I opened the bag of Squirrel-free & poured it into a bucket so I could mix in the corn. I immediately started coughing & sneezing but didn't think much of it since the seed had dust in it. Then I poured in the corn and stuck my left hand into the bucket to mix up the seed & corn. By the time I got it all stirred up, my hand was red & itchy. I decided it might be a good idea to wash my hands before I filled the feeders & did so. My hand continued to itch and later that night I noticed what looked like hives breaking out on my hand. By the next morning, I had 5 or 6 blisters & knew something was definately wrong. I assumed it was an allergic reaction. I had already thrown away the Squirrel-free bag so I went back to the store where I bought it to see what was in there that I could have hurt me. That's when I saw the pictures or hot peppers on the bag & read the blurb that said the seed was coated with hot pepper oil to keep squirrels from eating the seed - the birds can't taste the oil. That's also when I saw the small print warning to avoid contact with eyes & skin. What I thought were hives & an allergy are apparently burns. >From bird seed. This is crazy. Who thinks to look for instructions & warning labels on bird seed? And what condition would my hand have been in if I hadn't immediately washed it? And what would this stuff do to a child's skin? I hope I didn't hurt any squirrels. - phyllis_petree@unc.edu From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Fri Mar 13 11:48:02 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id LAA00587 for ; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 11:48:00 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803131748.LAA00587@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.9D1B5400@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 13:47:50 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 6470; Fri, 13 Mar 1998 13:46:34 -0500 Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 13:44:26 -0500 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Alyce Cresap Subject: Re: How Weird To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Phyllis C.

The possibility of getting it in your eyes is quite likely. I still remember one time in graduate school when I made enchiladas, using a few jalapeno peppers, and then put my contact lenses in. I had washed my hands, too.

My skin is sensitive but not dramatically so. I'm very fond of hot peppers in food & can eat them with no side-effects worse than a runny nose & flushed skin. So I know this reaction wasn't because I'm hyper-sensitive to the pepper oil. > The store may shrug it off, Phyllis, but I think you would be doing > them a favor to bring it to their attention.

I think I'd lean towards the accelerated program, but I don't know how much I'd enjoy living in Detroit. It is the ugliest city outside of Paterson, NJ, that I've ever been in. I have this persistent image in my mind of driving on a Detroit highway towards the Ford headquarters and repeatedly passing under the rusting exposed steel girders of the crossroad overpasses and thinking "this is the same thing American auto designers have to look at each day as they drive to work" and how so many inexplicable things about the way American cars look and work suddenly all made sense. I found it oppressive and crowded and dirty. The single bright spot in the whole experience was a Greek dinner eaten in a touristy little Greek neighborhood and watching guys park cars in grassy vacant lots, packing them within inches of one another. However I don't know if there would be enough bright little moments to sustain you for the entire period of study of a Master's degree. -aht From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Mar 14 00:38:15 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id AAA09822 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 00:38:14 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803140638.AAA09822@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.38C7F1A0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 2:38:07 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 6568; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 02:36:51 -0500 Date: Fri, 13 Mar 1998 23:38:03 -0800 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Karen Kay Subject: Re: Schools trouble To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU In-Reply-To: from "Anne H Toal" at Mar 14, 98 01:32:52 am Anne H Toal said: > On Sat, 14 Mar 1998 lux@MAIL.ASANET.IT wrote: > > What would you prefer (for an MBA) between Case Western University, > > accelerated MBA, or Indiana Univ., Bloomington, normal MBA? > > I think I'd lean towards the accelerated program, but I don't know how > much I'd enjoy living in Detroit.

Originally, I had planned to just hang around the apartment and clean up--and God knows this place needs cleaned--but it was a beautiful day and I felt like going somewhere and doing something. So I got my camera, some extra film, and a bunch of maps, and put them in the car, and headed north. (As usual, it was not until a bit after noon when I left the house--a typical half-assed late start.) Somewhere between the Stanford Linear Accelerator and the beehive house in Woodside, I decided that Point Reyes (which is, as far as I know, the only National Seashore on the Pacific) would be both doable and enjoyable. Shortly after my decision--how diegetic it would have been had this happened a little earlier!--the radio station I was listening to played a flashback song called "Destination Unknown". Somewhere around Mill Valley, I did a giant "d'oh!" as I realized that Point Reyes is within easy driving distance of Sebastopol. And me with my cell phone out of commission... Driving through Stinson Beach, I had a little WLM as I saw a street named Calle Del Mar and though, "No, that should be Pollo Del Mar". At the Point Reyes Visitors Center (why is there no genitive apostrophe in "Visitors"?), I found a pay phone and, having found Maureen's phone number, gave her a call. Alas, she and himself already had plans for that evening, but, over the interruptions of an automaton who kept asking me for for a quarter every three minutes, we discussed the possibility of a future social engagement, the fact that the weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the question of whether or not BBQ oysters, which apparently are popular locally, are a good thing or not. I then took the Earthquake Trail, which sort of disappointed me because none of the informational signs told me anything I didn't already know. However, it was really cool to straddle the line where the earth moved sixteen feet in 1906, and there was also a neat map of the Bay Area geology in terms of the bedrock-to-mud-and-landfill spectrum of stability. Next, I took the road that goes close to the north end of the Point Reyes peninsula and, quite by accident (I initially thought I was taking the trail to the nearest beach) I went for a good three or four miles further north. I took some standard California seashore pictures--long distance, of waves breaking against cliffs--but while I saw many beautiful views, there weren't many pictures--that is, much of what I saw, I could not capture with a camera. Then I wandered up into the Tule Elk preserve. Espen, I do not know what kind of _alces_ these are. But one of the people I met on the trail described them as "deer on steroids". I took lots of elk pictures. I also took a few bird pictures--I can't tell birds apart to save my life, but there were some--I would guess hawks of some sort?--that were hovering, and following the countours of the hill, in a breathtakingly beautiful fashion. As the sun edged toward the horizon, the light became almost mystical, and I began to regret having bought only one extra roll of film instead of two. I saved my last three shots to try to capture the sunset, which was partially occluded by clouds and thus had vivid pink overtones. Returning to the mainland (and crossing the San Andreas fault in the process), I stopped in the town of Olema for dinner. I went to the place that advertised BBQ oysters; it turned out to be one of those places that tries to be chi-chi but doesn't quite manage to pull it off. I tried a BBQ oyster. It wasn't bad, but the BBQ sauce completely drowned out the taste of the oyster. As I headed home, the full moon rose as I skirted around the Bolinas Lagoon. It was a magical moment.

He, echoing my grandmother thirty years ago, was convinced it could not get the dishes really clean. Then, pretty soon after he arrived, my mother died, which left me an emotional cripple for the next year or so. During that time, I could not cope with trying to convince him that the dishwasher really could produce clean plates and glasses and just started washing everything by hand. At first I was exasperated at how I had acceded to what I considered ridiculous demands, but gradually I came to like the ritual of it: the warm sudsy water, the various effects different detergent liquids produced, the white clean towels with little wet ring marks patterning the surface, the dishes drying in the rack. It was always essentially the same, yet there were infinite subtle variations within the sameness. Doing the dishes every night after dinner started to have a comforting influence on me, just when the daily evening wave of despair and hopelessness was rising and threatening to throw me over the edge. After a time I came to rely on the dishes as some sort of mental crutch for getting through difficult moments. Thanksgiving of 1995, one year and a few days after Mother's death, I did the dishes no fewer than three times, and I was grateful I had them to do. While I was washing dishes, I had control of the situation. That little basin of warm sudsy water, at least that wasn't going to go anywhere before I was ready. In the intervening months, the dishwashing machine stopped working, and then its tub filled with water which turned cloudy and began to stink. Later the water turned red, then brown, then black. I was faced with the choice between getting rid of the washer and figuring out how to cover over the hole where it was installed, or buying a new machine. I wasn't aware until this week that I had been using the act of washing dishes to fight off the depression of grief. However I did know that lately, handwashing the dishes was really starting to irritate me. Then it hit me: I had been avoiding purchasing a new dishwashing machine because something in me was still afraid that everything would crumble back into blackness if I gave up the ritual. Right now the new dishwashing machine is churning away in the kitchen, making Anne-doesn't-have-to-wash-the-dishes-anymore noises, and I have stopped brooding over any foolishness about plunging into the abyss. It is a happy sound, it reminds me of my mother. Graham is adjusting. And that's about all I have to say on the subject.

Both schools have light blue & white as team colors, both use a ram as a mascot, both use the same tune for the fight song. The same colors part wasn't that odd. But having two people dressed in different ram costumes dancing around the court and having first one band dressed in light blue play a song, then another band dressed in light blue play the same song over and over again was downright surreal. - phyllis_petree@unc.edu From owner-words-l@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Sat Mar 14 17:42:42 1998 Received: from listmail.cc.uga.edu (listmail.cc.uga.edu [128.192.232.10]) by gtoal.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with ESMTP id RAA22548 for ; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 17:42:41 -0600 (CST) Message-Id: <199803142342.RAA22548@gtoal.com> Received: from uga.cc.uga.edu by listmail.cc.uga.edu (LSMTP for Windows NT v1.1a) with SMTP id <0.58272DA0@listmail.cc.uga.edu>; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 19:42:38 -0500 Received: from UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@UGA) by UGA.CC.UGA.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1.8c) with BSMTP id 9452; Sat, 14 Mar 1998 19:41:22 -0500 Date: Sat, 14 Mar 1998 18:42:35 -0600 Reply-To: English Language Discussion Group Sender: English Language Discussion Group From: Anne H Toal Subject: in the zone To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU Well, this pool-playing experiment is continuing aapace, and I am not losing so many games as I used to.

Anyone who's ever been there knows it is a state of grace, there's no logical explanation for it, you can't do anything wrong.

I appreciate your confidence in me, and I'm always happy to look at interesting mail headers. But I've never seen anything complicated about headers--I just follow them in a "head bone connected to the neck bone" fashion. (I'm sure, though, that if I knew more about them, I'd be more cognizant of unusual patterns within them.) Shoshana's case was pretty easy. This segment almost jumps out at you: >Received: from breebook.ix.netcom.com (pdx56-i48-16.teleport.com >[204.202.167.30]) In other words, her computer thought of itself as "breebook.ix.netcom.com", while her gateway knew its own proper name (and it had better!). I would have said something about this earlier, but I went from bed to shower to work this morning, and was busy with other stuff, and never even saw the original question until I got home. Besides, as it happened, steph and Karen had the answer before I'd even achieved a modicum of consciousness this morning.

Here's the puzzle, again: "What is the longest word from the initial letters in a chain of consecutive countries in Europe? For example, you can spell the word FISHY on a trip starting in France, which gives you the letter F; from there you go to Italy for I, Slovenia for S, Hungary for H, and Yugoslavia for Y. That's a 5-letter answer -- what's the best that you can do? To count, the countries must be CONNECTED BY LAND, and the initial letters must be taken in order. We're using the standard English language names for the countries (for example: HUNGARY, not MAGYAR REPUBLIC); you may return to a country and repeat its initial in your trip, but you CAN'T stand on a country and use its initial twice in a row. Your answer word must be uncapitalized and unhyphenated. As always, our authority for acceptable words is Merriam-Webster's 10th Collegiate Dictionary."
