The word is formed the Latin flos (flower) and legere (to gather): literally a gathering of flowers, or collection of fine extracts from the body of a larger work. It was adapted from the Greek anthologia (ἀνθολογία) "anthology", with the same etymological meaning. Medieval florilegia were systematic collections of extracts taken mainly from the writings of the Church Fathers from early Christian authors, also pagan philosophers such as Aristotle, and sometimes classical writings. A prime example is the Manipulus florum of Thomas of Ireland, which was completed at the beginning of the fourteenth century. The purpose was to take passages that illustrated certain topics, doctrines or themes. It is also applied literally to a treatise on flowers or medieval books that are dedicated to ornamental rather than medicinal or utilitarian plants. <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_wink.gif" title=":wink:" class="bb_smilies" /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HKVM1GWTH8">hotforwords vanila...check out "Marina's ice-Cream"...flavor..,</a> <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> ~~~~<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Vestal.JPG">................ *<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_(disambiguation)">Flower (disambiguation)...soul much...A flower is a reproductive structure found in many plants.</a> <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":P" class="bb_smilies" /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEpfH_FVQK0">TONY CAREY - SAN FRANCISCO (BE SURE TO WEAR...)</a>Please share and help "flower the seeds of WORD POWER <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif" title="8)" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Flower_poster_2.jpg"> poster with twelve flowers of different families: St Bernards Lilly (Anthericum liliago): Liliaceae Bermuda Buttercup (Oxalis pes-caprae): Oxalidaceae Oleander (Nerium oleander): Apocynaceae Lantana (Lantana camara): Verbenaceae Scarlet Pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis): Primulaceae Verbascum (Verbascum sinuatum): Scrophulariaceae Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris): Malvaceae Spanish Oyster (Scolymus hispanicum): Asteraceae Stork's Bill (Erodium malacoides): Geraniaceae Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis): Convolvulaceae Blue Gem (Hebe x franciscana): Plantaginaceae Calla Lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica): Araceae................... <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_razz.gif" title=":P" class="bb_smilies" /> ~~~A fLoWeR <img src="http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/bb-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" /> , sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also called angiosperms).

That he was able to do this while still possessing only a rudimentary knowledge of electricity and physics was quite astounding. When the members of the newly-formed American Bell Telephone Company were advised that a young and entirely unknown man in Washington had submitted a caveat (Berliner wrote it himself without the aid of a patent attorney) to the Patent Office covering a new transmitter, they could hardly believe it. Thomas Watson, the Mr. Watson of telephone fame, was sent to Washington to make inquiries. He returned such a glowing report of the transmitter and of Berliner himself that the company offered to buy the rights to the invention and to hire Berliner as a research assistant. For the next seven years, Berliner was employed by the ABT Co., first in New York City and then in Boston. During those years Berliner worked on numerous problems associated with the fledgling telephone industry and developed into a first-class theoretical electrician. <blockquote>Emile (originally Emil) Berliner was born in Hanover, Germany, on May 20, 1851. He was one of thirteen children born to Samuel and Sarah Fridman Berliner, two of whom died in infancy.

Now it's often additionally used as a slang term describing poor translations of various information boards, manuals, menus and other messages all around the world (but still especially in Asia). I think that are the two most popular sites collecting photos of funny Engrish texts: <a href="http://www.engrish.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.engrish.com/</a> <a href="http://engrishfunny.com/" rel="nofollow">http://engrishfunny.com/</a> Here I found an example not from Asia, but from my own backyard - from a train in Poland: <img src="http://engrishfunny.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/engrish-funny-hand-brake.jpg"> I think, there should be something like "In case of emergency, turn the hand brake to the right until resistance is felt. A penalty applies for any unjustified use". (On the other hand, in the polish railways even many inscriptions in the mother tongue sound ridiculous).

I prefer that this not turn into a religious flame war pitting one technology against the other, but do state your opinions, preferences and biases and why you prefer one technology over another. Do discuss sociological impacts, benefits and detriments. Lets keep the discussion civil as much as I have some choice words about the subject and I know you do to. I prefer that this not be a nerd forum where technical minutiae is discussed as there are way too many other forums that do that already. I encourage aLx, buzzword and others who have an understanding of society, history, anthropology, biology, liberal arts and languages to contribute their opinions. Some things to ponder: 1. What circumstance caused you to become a nerd/geek. Has anyone become un-geeked? 2. Has technology delivered what it has promised or is this just a dream? 3. How has technology benefited you and / or society? 4. In what ways has technology harmed society? 6. What is your preference and why? (Mac, PC, Linux, browsers, cell phone, PDA, other) 7. What makes you angry or passionate about technology? 8. Provide links to interesting technology events, expos, news, blogs, videos and articles. Keep in mind, you and I are not going to solve anything here. However, do include items of human interest where someone has made an impact through technology either for good or bad. Perhaps, Marina should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Price for contributing in a positive way, having created the HotForWords community.

I Started a youtube channel dsfoto51 I have posted three of four videos titled Beauty compiled from a collection of Vintage Postcards of the genre Beautiful women many of them have been culled as they are risque. I am hoping the collection will get noticed by a book publisher I desperatly need to publish the collection many of the images are quite valuable but collectors and dealers will not pay what they are worth. I Made a DVD but do not have copyrights to the sound track. words134616 on "comparing word origins" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/comparing-word-origins#post-7861 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 17:32:11 +0000 words134616 7861@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ I was wondering if there could be any videos explaining why similar words have unrelated meanings, like destruction and deconstruction. Or even some very similar words that are opposites, like raise and raze. ritalsoviet on "Il y a-t-il des amateurs de Hot for words francophones?" http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/topic/il-y-a-til-des-amateurs-de-hot-for-words-francophones#post-13180 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:05:23 +0000 ritalsoviet 13180@http://www.hotforwords.com/forums/ Les fans de Marina parlant français pourraient échanger ici.

The new law defines blasphemy as publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number of adherents of that religion, with some defences permitted. This new law is both silly and dangerous. It is silly because medieval religious laws have no place in a modern secular republic, where the criminal law should protect people and not ideas. And it is dangerous because it incentives religious outrage, and because Islamic States led by Pakistan are already using the wording of this Irish law to promote new blasphemy laws at UN level. We believe in the golden rule: that we have a right to be treated justly, and that we have a responsibility to treat other people justly. Blasphemy laws are unjust: they silence people in order to protect ideas. In a civilised society, people have a right to to express and to hear ideas about religion even if other people find those ideas to be outrageous. --> <a href="http://blasphemy.ie/2010/01/01/atheist-ireland-publishes-25-blasphemous-quotes/">source</a>.</blockquote> also, in the course of <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jan/03/kurt-westergaard-cartoon-muhammad-denmark">recent events</a>, does especially islam pose a threat to freedom of speech and other rights in europe and, ultimately, the world? is some peoples' fear of an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurabia">eurabia</a> irrational or justified? <blockquote>Europe is in a predicament, and so is America.

Viewing recurring Marina appearances we become exponentially more charmed by her impressive nerdiness and countertype good looks. I was however jarred to see the decision had been made to go "Hollywood" with the completely unnecessary addition of veneers, bee-stung(Origin:1930-35) lips and charicatured Ivanka Trump coiffure. The breast implants seemingly are screaming for attention in every clip, so were they new, too, or smuggled into the country 6 years ago? I am a natural born language lover wondering if I've serendipitously stumbled into my sincerely word-smitten soulmate, or if at the core Marina's simply another Tiffany twisted selfishly superficial lens addict carving out her 15 minute slice of reality fame by faking legitimacy through philological gimmickry... Porn has a place reserved for you, Marina, just ass soon ass you can make that magical move from mainstream. TOOhotforwords.com is also your owned domain, so perhaps strategically the Master Plan is already in behind the scenes process? OMG how hot will it be to hear the whispered etymology of her slutty dirty talk!;-) mmm mmm good.
