        I’m fine……school is more or less fine :smile:

        At last exams just 9-11 students made it, though most of them were working at such jobs before :lol: ………..school is different then just put this or that together and write down what you found.

        I think I can make it but we will see at Juli/August :oops:

    Once in Asia after eating some chicken, oh my, mai dee – not good at all. Shall spare the details however felt really unwell for a few days.

    Salmon is tasty. I hear Salmon farms actually put dye into the feed so as to enrich the colour of the fish, which is not good. Eat with ones eyes! Is hard to beat in any case.

    Love Tuna, mayo, onion and sweetcorn on toast, dam the world feels a better place after a few rounds of that. The Thais certainly know how to cook up some of the best seafood, ever. In fact, I would go as far as saying that Thai cooking is the best the world over. Never two dishes ever the same. Becoming a bit of a dab hand at it too. Met some Thai students at Reading Uni who help me with both language and cooking. Pat (hello/ sawadee) showed me some amazing dishes which made my taste buds over loads with delight. Hungry now…..

    Hmmm, must book ticket to Thailand. Promised myself to spend a week in Chang Mai as have reputal cooking classes. In the mean time, I guess The George Cafe will have to do!!

    You are asking about the word “leap”
    Well allow me to shoot for the moon and get mangled and allow my resilence of muscle to reform the bone structure and sping up to normalcy again. Kind of like bungy jumping theoretically speaking of course

    Naturaly speaking the salient is when an animal jumps or leaps

    Farm raise even though it helps is not the answer. When they get out of the farm they damage other salmons.

    Interesting. Everyone had asked themselves that question once.

    A huge percent of fish for consumption are now farm raised. Salmon, shrimp (all shell fish)…if it’s wild you’d know by the taste if it’s inexpensive (& in U.S.) it’s farm raised.

    Wild Salmon used to be in every river in California, even the so called L.A. river, and California brown bears would fish them, same bear that’s on the state flag. This was, of course, before Cadillacs & Oldsmobiles took over.

      Orgin is unknown. One theory is it is a derivation of a persons name. Jasbo Brown was a musician who traveled along the Mississippi playing blues/cabaret varient style of music. He ended up in Chicago ultimately. The style evolved from “Jasbo” to “Jazz”; as one theory goes. Others involve varients of Gullah words for excitement and/or jumping.

      Hi Mike,

      Well of COURSE I watched “Wild Kingdom,” I mean because who doesn’t? But all that other stuff I said about man-made biological threats compounding the already grave plight of the world’s anadromous fish populations is verifiable. In fact, I do have a little schooling in these matters.

      Try googling ‘genetically modified organism.’ After checking in on the latest ‘frankensalmon’ developments, get a load of what Monsanto, Astra-Zeneca, Con-Agra, and some others have done to perpetuate their corporate stranglehold on the seed stock for the global human population’s food supply from now into the indefinite future. It’s eye-opening, to say the least.

    Pronounce vs. enunciate When do you use one over the other?

      I now enunciate you Man and Wife. Hmmm. You’re right, natoreus. HotForWords must investigate.

    • thedavidconway says:
      93.2

      Well, if you’re talking about what the difference is between the two when it comes to what they mean for the spoken language, then here we go:

      Pronounce – This describes the general consensus on what the technically correct sound that each letter or each syllable makes in a word.

      Enunciate – This describes how well you speak each letter or syllable in a word.

      For example: one person can pronounce “Oregon” like “Or-eh-gehn” or like “Or-uh-gone”, but their enunciation is judged solely on how well they articulate those sounds.

      Does that make any sense?

    Hey,
    I would just like to request a word :]]
    It’s : Syzygy
    Rather strange word meaning, alignment of 3 celestial bodies in a straight line. Was told it by my tutor at uni and wanted to know the origin.
    Many thanks
    Nikki.
    Also love the lesson very good :]

    • 2hotforwordsfanclub says:
      85.1

      HEY
      I actually owned a company in the UK called Syzygy Products Ltd and researched the meaning of this bizzare word extensively before forming the company.
      I don’t strictly agree with your meaning though. I would say that it is the gravitational balance that keeps these celestial bodies that keeps these 2 or more items in harmony. I don’t agree with the straight line theory, as most of the celestial bodies orbit, and the line is one of the many dimensional gravitational plains that keep the balance together.

      Anyway the origin of the word was in 1656 from the Greek word Syzigia (yoke, pair, union of two, harmonious conjunction) and refers to the 3 harmonious components of an egg originally, namely the yoke suspended in the centre of the albumen within the shell.
      Formed from the 2 ancient words Syn (together) Zygon (yoke).
      Obviously Astronomy put a new slant to the meaning later, but the basic theory is the same

      • nikki-ellis says:
        85.1.1

        Thanks for the Quick reply :]]
        Now i no more about the word.
        But I still believe my meaning to be correct as in Astronomy. an alignment of three celestial objects, as the sun, the earth, and either the moon or a planet: Syzygy in the sun-earth-moon system occurs at the time of full moon and new moon.

        But that is when the pronunciation is siz-i-jee (spelt frenetically).
        Where as when the Pronunciation is sĭz’ə-jē (spelt frenetically) means your gravitational orbit theory.. So maybe they are both correct.

        But this was my tutors definition:

        syzygy

        Noun
        The straight line configuration of 3 celestial bodies (as the sun and earth and moon) in a gravitational system.

        But yes anyway thanks for the reply and now i no more about the word :]]

        Many Thanks

      85.2

      You are very welcome Nikki. That is what I remember that I read when I found the word 10 years ago in a dictionary and decided to adopt it as a company name, and I am not too bad at etymology but don’t assume that I am right, as this perfection is more Marina’s domain as we all know.

      You have me wondering now…my memory is failing…OED Oxford English Dictionary is the ultimate source and doesn’t list it online despite me finding it in the same paper version 10 years ago.
      Your theory about both being right is very polite and definately makes sense, I need to visit a library or find my old 70,000 word OED . You really have me going now…. :lol:

    • 2hotforwordsfanclub says:
      85.3

      PS Although the gravity holds everything together it has no relevence whatsover to the word itself of course. Although it was originally from egg yokes the balance however appears to be on one plain between 2 or 3 bodies and therefore on a straight line disproving my theory that it is on one all dimensional plains as a general harmony.

      Well done I say

      Please tell me Nikki that you are a girl because we need more girls to prove my theory that we are not all a load of perverts that only watch to get an eye full. All the Nikki’s in the UK are girls and males are Nicky.

      Talking about eyeful I found a very descriptive meaning on

        Hey,
        Thanks for replying ever so quickly.
        Is strange how many meanings i can find for the word yet there is no one which holds more ground than the other, still i am sticking with the theory that we are both correct as words can have more than one meaning.

        And to answer your question i am a Guy not a girl i am afraid, Nikki tends to be female within the UK but my full name is Nicholas and i am known as Nikki as my hero is Nikki Sixx (Bass player for Motley Crue) and people started calling me Nikki due to my style of dress and such..

        Marina, Look into what salmon farming has and is doing to our native wild salmon population.Farm raised has no where near the goodies or flavor for you that wild salmon does[they feed them pellet type food].Patagonia’s catalog had a great article on it several years back.King in the spring and summer is the best tasting of all!
        All the best Teacher, Scotthorn

      • pennsyltucky9 says:
        83.1.4

        Genetically-Modified salmon for farming are generally much faster-growing and quickly grow to an enormous size.

        Scotthorn aptly points out how farmed salmon also lack flavor and color, so coloring is often added to make them look real. They pose a serious threat to native populations if (WHEN) they get loose because female fish tend to select mates based upon large size, and the GM salmon are easily twice the size of their naturally-occurring competitors so their recent genetic modifications will soon infect the entire gene pool. One of the more recent modifications will allow them to breed in SALT WATER instead of heading up freshwater streams to spawn as they always have.

        When these get out into the biosphere, (because of the aforementioned size differential and the competitive advantage it brings to breeding) it will only be a matter of time before the salmon stop running upstream to breed. A massive collapse of many other animal populations which rely on the annual salmon run will follow: eagle, bear, otter, mink, and hundreds of other species reliant on the flood of nutrients brought up into the headwaters by the mating salmon will perish, falling like dominoes.

        BTW, “frankensalmon” have escaped into Norwegian waters so we will soon see the ramifications of this genetic manipulation in the world’s oceans as the new giants outbreed the smaller, naturally-occurring males. Brace for impact.

      • pennsyltucky9 says:
        83.1.6

        Haha! roadrunrnch,

        I could only wish you were right about going back to the dinosaurs: I believe (permit me to wildly conjecture here) that the next “geologic layer,” as it were, that will will be laid down by an animal (as opposed to a plant community) species will be that of the social insects. We’re talkin’ the ants, wasps, and bees here. In my view, they are most likely to be the next “mammal” because we mammals are basically the next “dinosaurs” if we don’t somehow manage to grab the wheel and take our foot off the accelerator.

        I think the social insects have the best chance of surviving the major species die-offs to come because they are small, omnivorous, guided by a unified will to succeed as a group, fear nothing, and can operate underground for indefinite periods. In these ways they are similar to the original tiny mammals who lived during the last days of the dinosaurs, some 65MYago), plus, they have a short breeding/gestation period and so generations pass by quickly, not like us humans with our 15-30-year generations. The benefit of the short gestation period is that if climatic or other conditions change rapidly, genetic traits for variations in size or characteristics will begin to naturally “select” the next round of survivors, based upon whether the characteristics they have are conducive to, or contrary to survival under the new conditions. It is also important to add that mutations that occur which help them to survive will be more quickly absorbed into the gene pool, so the end result is that they have a better chance of evolving toward a form most suited to their immediate environment. Those that lack the latest and coolest adaptations will decline and eventually disappear. And the faster your species can adapt to change, the better off you’ll be.

        Bottom line, time to ease up on the throttle and grab the wheel before it’s over the cliff we go. I’m gonna start thinking about raisin’ some chickens to help keep up a fresh layer o’ poop on the garden.

        Peace.

        Insect would rule the world if not for the lack of leadership. They are content with maintaining the status quote. By not standing out and keeping the playing field level, ie( no winners so no losers.) they are happy just to serve the QUEEN. There are some of Us like this, For extra credit, Can you name the forms of Government that use these ideals?

      • pennsyltucky9 says:
        83.1.8

        Ah, but there is where you are incorrect. Leadership is something the ants, bees, and wasps do have, and it’s programmed in on an instinctual level. It’s built-in instead of coercive or greed-driven like ours. Remember, I’m talking about the social insects here, not just any old insects. When we’re gone, they’ll still be tirelessly communicating together and cooperating to achieve common goals. And the underlying scenario is that the mammals and large land animals would have already long since died out, so what’s left? Any guesses?

      • roadrunrnch says:
        83.1.9

        INCORRECT maybe, imprecise yes. sorry. What I should have said; The leadership is not intent on ruling the world. Their leadership’s intent is to care for it’s young. Some ants do conquer others, but for food or slaves. Not world supremacy. More likely Bacteria will end up being left in the end game.. Too start again, again, etc—–>>>inf There are hours of back and forth argument, but in the end Humans intent to destroy them selves is not common in other species. except Fire?

      • pennsyltucky9 says:
        83.1.10

        Wow, some good interaction here, Roadrunnerranch. Thanks!

        I’m just speculating though. You are correct in pointing out that bacteria will be a strong contender, always was, and will continue to be. And it is true that self-awareness (which eventually leads to oppression of other species, as in animal husbandry and agriculture) and eventual aspiration toward world domination is a trait unique to humans. Excellent observations! 50 million years after the mammals are extinct, who knows how well the social insects will have adapted? I just think they’re most likely to predominate because they have already developed excellent survival strategies of organization, communication and leadership hierarchy. Can’t really think of any other critters that come close, though I’m interested to hear more peoples’ impressions. I’m not sure what you mean about fire…

      • annuddermale says:

        there’s an old ecological dogma that given enough time and enough food, a population will pollute its environment beyond the carrying capacity of the environment…

        aren’t we all glad to know that science has this figured out already?…

        now if we could only reach the masses…

        oh, wait…maybe the price of gas will help them understand… :shock:

        Gas is just what we feed our toys. Wait ’til cars are a memory and the price of food goes the same way! Maybe then we’ll start to see some humans reach over to turn off the alarm clock.
