Black Bart robs again!
Feather Publishing4/21/2010
Wells Fargo and Company stage driver Charlie Seevy drew his stage to a halt amid a cloud of swirling dust as the masked, shotgun-wielding bandit blocked his path on the Quincy to Oroville Road and demanded, "Driver, throw out the box!" Seevy quickly complied — unloading the Wells Fargo box and mail pouches the stage was carrying — then driving on as ordered.
The date was July 25, 1878, and Charles E. Boles (aka Charles E. Bolton, aka Black Bart) had just committed his fifth stagecoach robbery.
The next day, as if to confirm the identity of the masked holdup man, a note found with the smashed Wells Fargo box read:
"Here I lay me down to sleep,
To wait the coming morrow.
Perhaps success, perhaps defeat,
And everlasting sorrow.
Let come what will, I'll try it on,
My condition can't be worse;
And if there's munny in that box,
Tis munny in my purse.
Black Bart, the Po8"
From that one robbery, Black Bart got away with $ 379 in coin, a $200 ring, and a $20 silver watch, as well as an undetermined amount of money from the mail pouches. Then Tuesday, July 30, 1878, five miles south of LaPorte on the LaPorte to Oroville Road, Black Bart struck again.
Around 8 a.m. a lone bandit, wearing a distinctive flour sack mask and a soiled duster over rough miner's clothes, stepped out from the heavily wooded roadside into the path of the stage, leveled a double-barrel 12-gauge shotgun at stage driver Dan Barry and politely ordered him to "Please throw down the box!"
Amid the early morning dust from the wagon wheels and milling horses' hooves, the deed was done, and in less than two minutes the stage was back on its way, minus its express box and mail sacks, and Black Bart was richer by $50 in gold and another silver watch.
While robbing that stage, legend has it that a woman passenger threw out her purse in panic. Black Bart, reportedly picked it up, bowed to the lady, and handed it back to her, saying, "Madam, I do not wish your money. In that respect I honor only the good office of Wells Fargo." With that, he took the mail sacks and express box and was gone.
A posse dispatched by Plumas County Sheriff James Yeates found no further poetry or clues other than footprints at the scene. Black Bart had successfully robbed his sixth stagecoach.
Black Bart would go on to elude the officers of the law for several more years as he continued to rob stagecoaches throughout Butte, Shasta, Plumas, Nevada and surrounding counties, while at the same time leading a double life as a well-to-do man about town in San Francisco.
At the time of his stage-robbing career, Charles Boles (known to his West Coast friends as Charles E. Bolton) was a man well into his 50s with gray hair and a gray mustache. He was a natty dresser, favored diamonds and carried a short cane. He was a man who liked to live well and stayed in fine hotels, ate at the best restaurants, and wore the finest clothes — seemingly a true gentleman.
However, the truth was that Charles Boles was also known by another moniker, Black Bart, and financed his well-to-do lifestyle by periodically robbing stagecoaches, later stating that he "took only what was needed when it was needed."
In a career of banditry that spanned eight years from 1875 to 1883, Black Bart managed to strike some 28 times (not all successfully) and get away with as much as $18,000.
Always extremely courteous to passengers, he made a favorable impression on drivers and passengers alike as a gentlemanly and courteous robber who apparently wanted to avoid a gunfight at all costs — managing all this alone, on foot, without ever firing a shot, and carrying an unloaded shotgun!
Relentlessly pursued by local lawmen as well as Wells Fargo Chief Detective James B. Hume, Black Bart's career was nearly cut short here in Plumas County when July 13, 1882, in his 24th stage holdup he was shot and wounded by Wells Fargo messenger George Hackett.
If he had successfully pulled off that robbery, Black Bart would have relieved the LaPorte to Oroville stage of $23,000 in gold. As it was, he bore a narrow scar along the top of his right temple for the rest of his life.
As it was with all brazen criminals, Black Bart's days of thieving came to an end in 1883, when he was tracked down through a laundry mark on a handkerchief he had left at his last holdup and arrested by San Francisco police and detective Hume.
Black Bart began serving a six-year sentence at San Quentin Prison on Nov. 21, 1883, only 18 days after robbing his last stage.
After serving four years and two months of his sentence, the "gentleman bandit" was released Jan. 21, 1888, for good behavior — and walked out a free man.
After his return to San Francisco, Wells Fargo agents kept Black Bart under close watch. He managed to disappear mysteriously in February 1888. Nothing more is known of his fate ... or is there?
To find out more about the thrilling exploits of Black Bart and his later career and mysterious disappearance, you are invited to share an afternoon Sunday, May 2, from 2 to 4 p.m. with Black Bart and James Hume at the Plumas County Museum.
The lively first-person recounting of the life and times of Black Bart will be presented by Old West historian and re-enactor Lee Dummel and members of the Law Dawgs & Pistoleros of the Olde West as a fundraiser for the Plumas County Museum. Cost is $5 at the door, and refreshments will be served. Call 283-6320 for more information.

Hinged Knee Braces & Hinged Knee Supports
When pain or instability is experienced in the knee, a knee brace is usually used to help strengthen the afflicted area. Knee orthoses are worn around the knee, and they work by helping relieve pressure off the affected part. In addition, hinged knee braces also provide support and stability to the knee when we participate in daily activities or engage in sports. Knee supports can also help align the knee properly to help alleviate pain caused by osteoarthritis.
Knee braces and supports are usually classified into four types: prophylactic braces, functional braces, rehabilitation braces, and unloader braces. Prophylactic braces are mainly used by athletes or active individuals who play high-contact sports in order to protect the knees. Functional braces are worn by patients who have already experienced injury and need additional support and stability until the knee attains full recovery. Rehabilitation braces, on the other hand, are primarily used for post-injury or post-surgery for immobilization. Lastly, unloader braces are intended for patients who are experiencing pain due to arthritis of the knee or incorrect alignment. The main function of unloader braces is to help decrease the amount of pressure or stress on the knee and free up the weight away from the knee afflicted by arthritis. Majority of unloader braces are hinged braces.
Hinged knee braces can have either one or two hinges. A hinged knee support helps take load or weight off the knee and is commonly worn by patients who want to forgo surgery or those who are still healing after a knee operation. Hinged knee braces can considerably relieve knee pain and helps provide stability for patients while they walk, stand, or undergo physical therapy.
The Corflex CoolTex 16-Inch Contender Hinged Knee Brace
One of Corflex's most original designs and one of the most effective hinged knee stabilizers in the market today, the Contender Hinged Knee Support offers the convenience of a wrap above the knee and a sleeve below the knee. It is recommended for non-contact sports and activities of daily living. The polycentric hinge with contoured condyle shell has aluminum uprights and offers full flexion and extension control with settings at 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. The Contender knee hinged brace is manufactured in either premium-grade latex-free neoprene with sued hinge cover or in CoolTex, a neoprene alternative material.
This hinged brace is ideal for medial or lateral instability, muscle or ligament weakness or injury, ACL or PCL moderate instability, strains or sprains, and degenerative joint disease where extension/flexion control is required.
The Ossur Unloader Spirit Osteoarthritic Knee Brace: An Ideal Hinged Brace for Arthritis
We at BraceAbility have one of the best hinged knee braces for arthritis in the market today, the Ossur Unloader Spirit Osteoarthritic Knee Brace. It is an adjustable, lightweight, and low-profile hinged knee support for mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.

The Unloader Spirit is one of the few hinged knee orthoses that features a single upright on the affected side that combines with the Dynamic Force Strap to create a 3-Point Leverage System. Patients will also enjoy enhanced comfort with this brace's adjustable, light, and low-profile design. This knee hinged brace for osteoarthritis is also comfortable enough and easy to wear for extended periods of time. An Adjustable Tibial Strap also helps capture the tibia and allows adjustments in hinge depth for a more customized fit.

Saw one of these giant isopod things on my last trip to Santa Cruz...Crazy stuff!! Check the link below for more info!!

tumblr_mad1fyR1MC1qc6j5yo1_500.jpg

Supposedly these have be spotted in several dead fish washed up near Ft Story on the north part of VB. Nasty.
Dude that video makes them seem so scary... don't watch that stuff... that's scarier then shark week will ever be
damn that was crazy. screw sea lice!!
they look like shrimp...can you eat em?
now, now....don't get all excited, this is carefully selected info designed to freak you out. (apparently it worked). the deep sea time-lapse thing you saw with eels and these isopods pointed out what they do: they are scavengers. they break down flesh as do all kinds of arthropods and more than a few vertebrates. if something is dead, they will eat it. (the opening bit is a plant. there is no reason the animal would crawl into a live fish's mouth (the fish would simply eat it) and then TURN AROUND to face out. really? hahahaa). the land version, by the way, is commonly called a pill bug, a sow bug, or, even more commonly, a roly poly, and does the same thing. it breaks down organic matter so we aren't standing around knee deep in carcasses. take a bug class. you'll learn all kindsa sh!t, like what will really gross you out or kill you.
Just to set the record straight. There IS an isopod that attaches inside the mouth of a fish. They do not eat the live fish, they eat part of whatever the fish is eating. However, they are considered a problem in some areas because they grow to the point that the fish can't eat anymore because they can't get anything past the bug. Fish starves to death then gets eaten by the bug.
Those big ones are crazy though, definitely rivaling the shark for oldest species on Earth.
They do live in a fish's mouth. Seen them crawl out of a fresh netted shad before. Ugly as Hell.

Is it true that languages farther from your own in the linguistic family tree will be harder for you to learn?

Is it true that languages farther from your own in the linguistic family tree will be harder for you to learn?
I find it quite interesting that many language learners as well as those commenting a language difficulty, put the level of difficulty upon the language. There may be some truth to that, but by far the onus should be placed upon the learner. There are various reasons why a person would find a language difficult to learn: 1) age and gender, 2) similarity of the native language to the language being acquired, and 3) time spend along with environment. I am deliberately leaving out the written language as for most linguists, this aspect is technically not part of the language.
After studying Japanese, I have come to learn that this language really, REALLY needs to die. It is so frustratingly primitive and illogical that when compared to English or even Spanish it's clear which language makes more sense and is easier to learn quickly. And yet English has over 1 million words and over 2000 different syllable pronunciations, while Japanese only has around 100,000 kanji and 68 syllable pronunciations.
Both English and Spanish are modern languages easily learned and easily taught, where even the most broken-English speakers can get by in America. But Japanese on the other hand, it's a backwards language stuck 400 years or so in the past. It's like Latin. Diversity in languages is a BAD, BAD thing! There needs to be FEWER languages in this world, MUCH fewer.
Wow. So closed minded. How are you going to kill the language of ~120 million people, more than native speakers of, say, French or Italian?
"Primitive" "illogical" "stuck in the past". Hogwash. It just a language like any other, and there's plenty of scientific and technical material out there.
And finally, Japanese uses around 3,000 kanji. Get your facts straight.
100,000 Kanji? Having studied Japanese myself, only 1,850 are in use.
Typical Spanish people. He will think the same about Basque, it has to disappear because it is so difficult for me, but children starts to speak Basque or Japanese at the same time as English or Spanish.
Linguists when considering a language do not generally take into consideration its writing system, but rather others facets such as grammar, syntax, the phonetics of a language, and historical and comparative aspects of language.
In terms of difficulty, how does one determine difficulty? A language may have declension of nouns and a very sophisticated verb conjugation, does that make it more difficult. If, as in this article discusses, a heavily inflected language is considered a difficult language then the native speakers of that language would find it difficult as well. The difficulty of acquisition is relative the person who is learning the language and here I would assume secondary acquisition.
"You wanna say or write something the english word comes first", if you cannot learn to think in another language, you are really wasting your time,C'est une triste vérité
So My mother tongue is Armenian, I speak and write fluently Russian, I am completely speaking and writing fluently in French and also I am very fluent in English. So I write in three different alphabets, I have a moral and cultural respect for all the languages but there is one thing I would like to mention. It is the fact that English language I wouldnt say is easy but is a very dominant language. When you know English all the other languages go passive. You wanna say or write something the english word comes first. Perhaps it isnt linked to the easyness of the language but to the fact that English is everywhere and subconsciously you hear and see English all the time.
it is the fact that english is easy.. I was born in Indonesia and my parents are chinese. Chinese-Indonesian, they dont speak much chinese or even not at all,they speak indonesian. So I couldnt understand chinese now that I'm studying in China I realise that English is absolutely easy compared to chinese. I have never been to english speaking countries and in Indonesia, english is very uncommon. However,now you can see me respond to you using excellent english. English is not my second language but I can speak like an UK person the only difference is in accent. How about chinese? nah it is like 10000000 times harder for non native speakers.
I agree that language learning can be a life-long process, but language is fluid, too. Words change meaning within a matter of one decade (ex: mouse, apple). There's a non-profit in Washington, DC called the Global Language Network (GLN) and they have teachers of varying degrees of experience, but what's great is you can try it out... make mistakes... listen to a native- or nearly-native speaker. I think it's just one of those things that you can be happy trying to pick up for the rest of your life.
I must say that according to my experience, Dutch has to be the weirdest language in Europe. Sorry Dutch friends!
Isn't that really a convoluted way of saying that languages in your own language family are easier to learn?
I do not know what you mean,yet it may be appearred in the papar of China.
It's my point of view is that I learnt Arabic as it's my mother tong at the same time I learnt from articles I read here and there that Arabic was considered to be one of the difficult languages. So it can be I started with a difficult language. When I learnt French and English I didn't find difficulties I found them easy to acquire. May be that's a reason, then there's a study that say females are able to learn languages better than males. And more there is the genetic factor that has a hand in acquiring a language (my father is a multilingual). I think there are many overlapping factors for letting a language being difficult for a person and easy for another. Thus we can't define one factor and say it's the one we can depend on to distinguish levels of difficulty of languages.
Being multilingual is an acquired factor, it's not in your genes, like red hair, blue eyes etc might be, thus you can't have gotten it from your father.
What you might have gotten, instead, it's the inclination.
by Genetic factor I meant your interest to learn a language
We can get lost in all the reasons why one person finds it harder, or why one language is easier, or... But the fundamental fact is that we ALL learned our first language irrespective of the level of difficulty or who our parents were. What is virtually completely ignored in current ways of teaching (and hence learning) is the understanding that we are amazing creatures with incredible capacities.
Its ignored because for the most part we are taught in ways we would teach animals or "stupid" people. The end results of people being taught as idiots is that most people believe they lack the talent in learning languages. Guess what the result of that is. The issue is that they were given a fork to eat soup with.
In my 30 plus years of language teaching I have never seen anything to make me believe we are not all talented. What I have seen is a chronic lack of self belief and the results of poor choices.
What we need to do is to work towards helping people to turn that around, devising ways of learning languages that are empowering and respect the capacities we all have.
In Language Learning Unlocked, a book I recently wrote, I have laid out all this more clearly as well as what that might look like for those of you who might have some interest.
I'm sorry, but to be blunt it is not just a matter of communicating ideas but of speaking as well or close to as well as a native. Learning the connotations of words and when *exactly* to use them takes many thousands of hours and years of work. Also, less advanced speakers tend to have inflated views of their proficiency than advanced speakers, who are often critical of their "level."
For example, as a native English speaker I found several very clear sentence constructions that no native English speaker would ever use and that marked you immediately as a foreign speaker. Some were errors, while others were just awkwardly worded. I'm the same in Spanish, the one language that I feel relatively confident in, but I have many thousands of hours invested in it, a formal degree in it at an advanced immersion program, and much time spent living abroad. Even so, I'm always learning new words, new idioms, and ways to express myself. Language learning is really a lifelong endeavor.
... Sure smaller languages are more heavily inflected.
The thing that puzzles me is that people still talk in terms of "easy" and "difficult" languages. There's no such thing. If language X was harder than language Y, then kids learning language X as L1 would start talking later. Does this happen? No. My Chinese roommate had a veeeeeery hard time learning Italian, whereas for Spaniards it is a very easy task, because Italian and Spanish are related, and share a huge amount of phenomena.
All languages have the same rate of difficulty.
I refuse to think that some are harder than others.
Experiments on toddlers show that the average toddler starts speaking at the same age, no matter what language they're learning.
I don't think this is correct. There's more to a language than starting talking... I'm a native English speaker who is now teaching English to Spanish children in Spain. I know it's more difficult for English children to learn how to spell and read English than it is for Spanish children to learn how to spell and read Spanish. That's because Spanish has much more regular letter/sound patterns. The (Spanish) teachers who teach my class their daily Spanish lessons never give lists of 'spellings' to learn, yet this is very common when teaching English in UK primary schools.
And, how many symbols are there to learn Chinese?? Thousands? Don't tell me that doesn't make it more 'difficult'.
Are you saying a person who can't read or spells poorly does not speak a language? I think you are comparing how easy it is to read and write a language, not how easy it is to acquire a native language.
English (and many others) is unscientific language, that's why even uk children have to learn spelling of each word. many languages doesn't have this problem, pronunciation and spelling both are correctly related, so they don't need to learn spelling of every word, only need to learn how to write and speak.
No. If I was saying that, I would have said it. I was responding to Pia who said,
'All languages have the same rate of difficulty. I refuse to think that some are harder than others.'
I was disagreeing with him/her by giving examples of Spanish being easier (in the spelling/reading sense) than English, but both being 'easier' than Chinese.
There's no question that a child can master speech faster than an adult. Once speech has been mastered learning the representation of speech in writing is easier than the reverse.
Of course, teachers of Spanish to Spanish-speaking children needn't give spelling lessons. The children already know how many words are pronounced. If a word needs a stress mark or tilde to show correct pronunciation, that presents only a minor problem and not, I suspect (I have no Spanish), a problem that lasts throughout primary and secondary education, as does mastery of English spelling for native speakers of English.
I don't agree with you. Each language has it's own challenges. Spanish spelling is easier than English spelling. But Spanish agreement of nouns and adjectives is harder than English (las casas blancas). Sure, there are a lot of Chinese characters to learn, but Chinese grammar is SUPER simple. What the author and I think is each language has different parameters that can be simpler or more complex. But saying one language is definitively harder than another is harder. How many easily spelled words in Spanish = one agreement rule? Do they cancel each other out?
Every language has things about it that are difficult and every language has things that are simple.
You get some pretty big clues with Spanish agreement of nouns and adjectives; most nouns ending in 'o' are masculine, most ending with 'a' are feminine. If you find that 'difficult', I wouldn't bother learning Spanish...
Yes, but you forget that alphabets and writing signs or symbols are invented, created by humankind, thus not natural. When talking about how difficult languages can be considered we should only talk about the natural side of them (hence absoltely no writing system should be involved).
I guess you know better than I do how spelling is difficult for native speakers of English, but if you don't consider spelling, the writing system and such, even the worst "speller" in the world has no difficulties when speaking English. That's because writing systems are artificial (in fact, only a few languages on a world total of ca. 6800/6900 have a writing system).
That's the same rason why Chinese people have issues with symbols, Italian with missing Hs, or apostrophes, or Spaniards with accents. Because writing systems are artificial. And they shouldn't be considered when trying to understand whether a language is hard or not. They were created by a relatively small elite who decided that /tɔːk/ should be "talk" and not "tok", and so on. The natural part of languages should be considered when coming to these issues, and nothing else.
I have never met a foreigner with a decent level on Castellano
But my mother tong is Arabic and according to the family tree Arabic is too far from French and English which I've found easy languages to learn. Are their any interpretations?
The success rates of people learning languages in school or after does not alter significantly by the language learned. In fact, consider the fact that all of us learning our first languages equally as well.
Once you are skilled in learning a language, it does not matter that much if the language is "difficult" or not. The key issue is developing the skills to do it.
The fact that languages are taught so badly in most places is the reason why we focus on the difficulty of the language. Whereas we would be better off concentrating on finding effective ways of learning languages and steering clear of ways that slow us down (sometimes to a crawl).
I have just brought out a book ( Language Learning Unlocked) that goes into these questions and helps language learners to understand what they need to do to learn a language successfully
Good point, I also think that learning how to learn languages is a crucial factor, some cultures and some school systems seem to do it better than others. Cultural and personal attitudes matter too.
English is perhaps the easiest language to learn till the intermediate level. But those plethora of idioms, phrasal verbs, arbitrary use of prepositions and non-standard pronunciation make it the most difficult to master. This is further exacerbated by the bulk of slang terms which forms a local patois, clearly divided by class barrier and social station. As pointed out by few others, English speakers are by far the least helpful and considerate to Non-native speakers. Lack of clear rules result in native speakers reserving the psychological upper hand of being more "authentic". In fact they routinely use grammar as a tool to trash other's opinion. This is by no stretch universal, but unfortunately very common. Perhaps a vestige of Imperial past.
All language have idioms, all languages have arbitrary use of prepositions, slang by social strata, all this you mention is not unique of English. Plus, English being so pervasive everywhere is precisely "easier" as people have more exposure to it than, say Ubikh or Warlpiri. So more people is familiar with English sounds, idioms, syntax which as a result of so much contact with different nations (romans, normans, danes, celts, …) has simplified enormously.
That's it. English is very easy till the intermediate level, but it is a very hard language on the pragmatic level, or on the synctactic one.
It is very easy to learn basic English, but advanced English - that's another story.
Italian goes the opposite way I think... Once you've learned the structures you can do whatever you wish because it is very "fixed". English is pretty random. No wonder almost everyone knows its rules but doesn't even know how to speak it.
Every language is hard when it comes to certain levels - that is.
Spot on. I can say the same for German, a language rather similar to English in terms of fundamental grammar. But lot more categorical, precise and organized. On the other hand, syntax of English sentences are so random that easier grammar creates a perverse dynamics.
I suggest that the "rules" are quite clear to native speakers of any language, even though they may be unable to formulate those rules.
In the UK class distinctions have been important for generations, and one of the simplest class markers is a person's pronunciation; another is vocabulary. Those who speak what used to be called "Received Pronunciation" (I don't know if the term is used now) or BBC English, were seen as belonging to the upper classes. The situation is different now, but there's no space to go into particulars.
In the States the attitude of native speakers of English toward nonnatives depends to a great extent on the foreigner's native language. Native speakers of French used to be (still are?)the best received foreigners. Americans found/find a French accent "charming." After the French, my guess is that the American attitude is proportional to the number of speakers of a particular language that the given American has encountered.
I'm not sure that American native speakers of English wished, or wish, to have the upper hand. Remember that most Americans have never encountered native speakers of other languages and have never had to learn another language well enough to use it. Many simply cannot understand a nonnative speaker. I have friends whose first attempts to order a "gumburger" were met with incomprehension and looks of disbelief. I doubt that a counter person in a McDonald's is interested in any psychological advantage.
As to helping the nonnative, I believes that often depends on the individual. Some New Yorkers won't give you the time of day; others will go out of their way to help those whose English is poor, if not nonexistent. The same likely obtains elsewhere in the US. It certainly applies in Europe. Indeed, Parisians are notorious for their unsympathetic attitude to those who have no French or whose French they consider excruciatingly bad.
My personal experience is that Chinese characters are very difficult to learn, in the sense that it is just very time consuming. In Korean it is very difficult to pronounce and hear correctly the sounds, and the grammar is hard. And Japanese combines the difficulty of Korean grammar with Chinese characters but also with a simple sound system to make it slightly harder than both. But altogether I agree with the U.S. state department that they are all very difficult for English speakers!
Happy learning! (-:
SUPERFICIAL. What is "normal"? what researchers operate with scale between "normal" & "weird"? who said it does not depend on someone's first language? and what about different brains? English is not difficult? ha! to what level and with what purpose? just communication?
In Ukraine we joke that Ukrainian is the hardest given that so many Ukrainians can't speak it:-)
All the data on "learning" foreign languages are based on just that -- "learning" them. These days, the front line of language teaching is actually facilitating people to acquire languages -- not through rules and output, but through listening to comprehensible input. "Learning" languages is so 20th century...
Very obvious but true comment: it depends on the learner's native language.
I am from Brazil and I have learned some of the other Latin languages plus English. Spanish, of course, was the easiest (even though I had to read, study, attend college classes with students from Spain in order to really master the language). Then, it was Italian: also not hard to learn if you are a native Portuguese/Spanish but if it does require a considerable amount of work. English is not complicated in terms of grammar if compared to Port/Esp/Ita. French was definitely the hardest one to learn, pronunciation is not easy to learn (even for native Portuguese speakers) plus adjectives in French can be masculine or feminine which is not the case with Portuguese and Spanish (i.e. excepcional in Por/Esp can be translated as exceptionnel or exceptionnelle depending on the substantive).
For our American/British/Irish/Australian readers, I would say that the French is certainly the hardest language to learn (considering only the Latin languages) but I do have American friends who can speak French reasonably well.
I can't even imagine how it is like for our Chinese, Japanese, Korean friends to learn English. You have to respect that.
that's not completely true though, as in spanish (and presumably portuguese as well) you do have "gendered adjectives". imagine you were standing next to a woman and i'd say "madre mía, como eres guapa!". you wouldn't feel quite as flattered, i suppose..
Yes, you are right. I used a bad example, sorry.
But in Portuguese/Spanish you would say: Que drama (masc word) and in French (quel drame).
For fem words, you would say in Port/Esp: que coisa/que cosa, but in French you would say quelle chose.
Not a great example, but you get my point.
Apparently, it's easy but that's a mistake Port/Esp speakers make all the time.
Thanks for correcting me!
It depends largely on the person native tongue and which features of the target language are in the native tongues Fore example many English speakers struggle with the iddea of a subjunctive because and additional simple past tense they are largelt absent from our language

Jackson, who on December 28 informed EPA staff of her decision to step down, says she is confident she leaves a ship "sailing in the right direction." Jackson's resignation was expected, but it is uncertain who will take her place, Washington sources say.

Show Day, Buenos Aires
02 March 2006
Show Day, Buenos Aires
Having got to bed at 6.30am, I took this morning at a walking pace. There was discussion and post mortem about last nights shoot, with most people involved feeling that it had gone very well. Headed down to the gig to make the necessary preparations for tonights double shoot. We are attempting to do a live TV broadcast to Argentina at the same time as shooting the final part of the 3D film footage. Oh, and playing a gig to 75,000 people. All of this took some negotiation and much compromise all round but we did manage to come up with a plan which was mutually acceptable to all involved - an improvement on what we managed at the Sao Paulo shoot where we ended up with tears before bedtime.
We were blessed with a beautiful night and a great performance, so the footage couldnt be better. I was in the control room again with Allen Branton our TV lighting guru who sat before one pile of video monitors showing what the 3D cameras were seeing, plus another showing what the Argentine live broadcast cameras were seeing. The two versions of the show could not have looked more different, to the point where it was hard to believe that these were two views of the same show, happening outside the window. Most remarkably of all, both looked great. The live TV was an almost entirely local production (with a few of our team strategically placed) but they made some great pictures.
Afterwards we were ready for a drink, having made it through multiple TV and film shoots, eight stadium shows in five countries, rehearsals and the Grammy Awards in slightly over three weeks. It comes at you pretty fast out here.
Back at the hotel, the Mansion was rocking. There was a great mood in the air and the Argentine hospitality was impressive. The party had just reached a very pleasant, manageable level when Diego Maradona walked through the door with his band of merry men, at which point the temperature rose to fever level. He and Bono bonded instantly and everyone lost their marbles temporarily. Speeches were made, songs were sung, drinks were poured, amid much shouting and carrying on. Bono declared Maradona to be the real president of Argentina and presented him to the real president of Ireland, i.e. Joe OHerlihy, who is a huge football fan. Flashbulb madness as the two presidents embraced and more speeches, yelling and madness.
I could see where this was going, so slipped away at about 4am. It was enormous fun, but its been a hell of a few weeks and my duvet was calling.

Introduction | Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD Canon lens performance | Tamron SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD Canon versus competition | Conclusion |
Announced in February 2012, the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 lens Di VC USD is the latest full-frame, fast aperture standard zoom from the Saitama, Japan-based optical firm and is the first of its type to add VC (Vibration Control) image stabilization. Costing $1299 and available in Canon, Nikon and Sony fittings (the latter albeit without VC) and featuring USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) technology, it's an obvious alternative to the pricier offerings from the top-names. Could this lens be a contender in the IQ stakes? Read on to find out.
It has been several years since Tamron introduced the high-speed, full-frame SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Macro standard zoom for serious amateurs and professionals. In that time the number and popularity of full-frame DSLRs has increased dramatically, in part owing to the debut of video capture but also due to a number of more accessibly priced camera models. In spite of this, both Canon and Nikon have yet to fully address the need for a high-speed standard zoom offering image stabilization for both stills and video.
Of those two Canon is perhaps ahead of the curve. Nikon has the AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f4G ED VR, but Canon offers three image stabilized primes and two zooms, the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM and the brand new EF 24-70mm f4L USM.
Priced competitively at $1299, the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD changes all of that as the first, high-speed standard zoom to offer image stabilization. Like its predecessor, the new lens will also appeal to users of APS-C size cameras. Then the range of focal lengths has an effective field of view as a 36-105mm (or 38-112mm on Canon APS-C bodies) in 35mm terms, while retaining the highly prized image stabilization function.
Tamron hasn't only included stabilization to tempt potential users. It also has an ultrasonic AF motor, weatherproofing and, as a 'Di' lens, features advanced anti-reflective coatings and a complex optical design to improve imaging performance with digital sensors. A variant for Sony SLT cameras is also available but as those camera models feature a stabilized sensor, the Alpha mount version lacks the VC function.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website |
The Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is distinguished by being the first fast standard zoom for full frame cameras to include optical image stabilization. The fact that it does so in a design that includes a ring-type ultrasonic motor for fast, silent autofocus and a degree of weathersealing (Tamron uses the term 'drip-proof'), all at a significantly lower price than Canon's non-stabilized EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM that was announced around the same time, might lead you to think suspect must be some serious compromise involved in its design. But there isn't. Read the article |

ERROR: DXO Mark for Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 on 5D Mark III
How can the Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 have a DXO Mark Score of 24 on the Canon 5D Mark II, but be significantly lower on the Canon 5D Mark III? It seems the data is incorrect. Please look into this.

Re: Tamron vs Nikon lens comparison
After holiday sales, I got D600 with 24-85mm VR lens and very happy with my choice of full frame DSLR and quality of the lens. Since than I am checking daily your website with hope to get DXOmark scores on that lens on D600 or D3X. There are a lot of those lens used and tested already with conflicting reports from different testing websites on quality of that lens. My friend bought 5D Mark III with 24-70mm 2.8L lens and we went to photo trip together. When we compared and discussed photos from that trip we agreed that overall quality of the equilalent photos is very close. Being an engineer I am waiting for numerical confirmation. I am pretty sure that the scores will be high. I generally agree with your testing results and your test data are are helping me in my future lens selection.

Just a bit confused
Emilie, says "The reason is that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm looses some sharpness in the field, where it is outperformed by the other ones."
Something is being lost in translation. In what field ??? How can a lens that is rated sharp loose sharpness when you take it outside into a field ??? Please clarify. Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: Just a bit confused
I am sorry, I indeed lost myself in translation :) I meant that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm tends to be less sharp in the center of the (visual) field; it's its great weakness comparing to the other lenses. I hope it is clearer! Best, Emilie Reply |

24-70 comparison
Just having difficulty figuring out how the Sony CZ 24-70 scores low compared to these 3? Sharpness is higher than all 3, transmission is in line with both Canon and Nikon, distortion is at the top level along with the Tamron, vignetting it beats all 3, and CA is the same as the Canon (right between the other two). This should put is slightly in front of the pack, but then read about the 'blue bar range' for different FL - ok so here it seems about on par or maybe a little better than the Tamron and Nikon, but not as good as the Canon.
So how does it score a 21 when it exceeds certainly at the very least the Nikon (where it equals or beats it in all metrics) and the Nikon gets a 24 overall score? I know these are tested on different cameras, but how does that effect the weightings? Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

According to documents filed in the case, from July 2006 through July 2007, while Devitt, 64, of Snyder, Texas, served as the superintendent of the IISD, he embezzled $13,438 in federal funds. He misused IISD vendors and the IISD Visa and Discover credit cards, issued in his name, to purchase property for his personal benefit. Devitt, however, represented that he was using the IISD credit cards and vendors for IISD work-related expenses, including supplies, travel, staff development and training. Devitt directed IISD staff to pay the vendors and credit cards by drawing a check on the IISD accounts.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Education. Assistant U.S. Attorney Paulina Jacobo was in charge of the prosecution.

Brown's budget cuts likely to hit beleaguered fair hard
Mona HillGovernor Jerry Brown's proposed budget puts Plumas-Sierra County Fair manager John Steffanic in a tough spot, right along with the Board of Supervisors.
Brown's budget proposes a 30 percent reduction in the state's food and agriculture budget. This includes elimination of all funding for fairs and expositions, which totals $32 million.
Steffanic expected to receive $210,000 from food and agriculture's Fairs and Expositions (F&E) department for the 2011-12 fiscal year. This would equal 50 percent of the fair's annual revenue. Now, he expects to receive nothing from the state.
At the Jan. 26 fair board meeting Steffanic was quick to advise his board of directors against turning automatically to the county. Instead, he said he planned to limit fair entertainment to what has already been contracted for, approximately $30,000 worth.
He said the carnival, food vendors and exhibitors will still come and agreed with a member of the audience who said that is what counts — the heart of the fair.
Where's the money?
For the current fiscal year, which includes the 2010 fair, Steffanic budgeted $550,000 in revenue: $210,000 from F&E, $23,000 from the county and the balance, $317,000, from events at the fairgrounds.
High Sierra Music Festival is by far the biggest revenue-producing event at $75,000. Other events include American Valley Speedway races and various meetings, lunches and private rentals.
Sierra County contributes $5,000 to the fair. In the past, Plumas County has contributed the amount needed to balance the budget, depending on the amount the county has available.

Why the broiler hate? Commercial electric deck ovens have broiler elements that are constantly cycling on and off, and gas deck ovens have thermodynamics that are specifically engineered to recreate the effect of a broiler.
Purely logistical. If I had a turn style knob I'd probably never have gone down this path. Its such a pain when making multiple pies.
I have to admit, I was using a keypad controller the other day for 5 pies, and it was kind of a hassle.Does your oven have a convection feature?
That is beautiful.
Those pics are a whole different level,... nicely done. I have to imagine that even though the bottom is not on the steel plate after you move it, it's still getting a lot of heat from the burner below it for 6 minutes, more than what the top is receiving by being under the plate. Is the bottom real cooked/hard vs the top? The pizza itself looks great, I was just curious after seeing in your set-up.

Q: Is organic really better for you?
A: Organic products appear to be on the rise and many companies are claiming that buying organic is more healthful. Organic products definitely carry a higher price tag and this is because most of the companies adhere to stricter practices than conventional products.
To be certified as "USDA organic" the product must be at least 95 percent organic and a government approved official must verify this through inspection. Organic crops must be free of fertilizers and pesticides and organic farm animals must be free of antibiotics and growth hormones. Because of this, most people assume that organically grown food must be safer. However, there are multiple factors to look at.
Although organic foods typically have a third fewer pesticides than conventionally grown foods, conventional foods still fall well below the limits of pesticides set by the Environmental Protection Agency. Experts are unsure if the difference in pesticide residuals are enough to make a difference at this time. And since organic foods are not using synthetic pesticides they must contend with more natural toxins and weeds then conventional crops and natural toxins can be just as dangerous as synthetic man-made toxins. Some claim that since organic farms are using natural fertilizer such as manure that these crops may contain high amounts of bacterial contamination. However that is also up for debate.
The best way to insure your vegetation is safe for consumption is to wash everything under water. So, is organic really better for you? It's up for debate. While organic crops are not contributing to further pollution and contaminants they might not be any better for you healthwise than the leading conventional product. The decision is purely up to you. It's important to look at your values and make the decision that makes the most sense for your lifestyle and beliefs.

Social Exclusion Simulation (+)
Chicago Campus
The ISE's Social Exclusion Simulation (SES) is a role-play exercise that allows participants to see the ways in which society's systemic and structural barriers produce social exclusion for certain groups of people. The SES simulates social exclusion processes by replicating the experiences of formerly incarcerated women attempting to re-enter society following their release from prison. Participants have reported that important goals have been powerfully met: understanding of what structural and systemic barriers are and how they work to undermine opportunity and access; appreciation of practical limits of personal responsibility, agency, and choice; motivation to adopt attitudinal and behavioral changes in pursuit of social change; and empathy for marginalized groups in general. If you are an Adler PsyD student and you elect to exercise your right not to participate in the simulation, you may do so without any penalty. For more information please contact your faculty advisor.
To participate, you must register in advance by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, please include the date you wish to attend.

Oooh, interesting. I'll look forward to trying. (sorry, haven't heard anything more)
The Neiman Marcus Tom Ford consultant sent out an email today mentioning a new Private Blend called Azuree Lime. It is described as "a delightful scent with old world charm."
I searched the web and found no mentions of it.
Anyone out there know anything about it?
Oooh, interesting. I'll look forward to trying. (sorry, haven't heard anything more)
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
Are you sure the name is Azuree Lime? Not Azure Lime?
I mean, I know Tom Ford Beauty fragrances are made by Estee Lauder but would Erin Lauder have allowed Tom to so blatantly rip off of one of EL's classic scents so easily? Especially considering Lauder released Azuree Soleile Eau Fraiche when Tom Ford was collaborating with Lauder.

After being totally underwhelmed by every private blend besides Tobacco Vanille, I won't expect much, but I'm a lime nut, and this will probably be long lasting. Hopefully it doesn't have the out-of-pace dim/dark notes used in his Neroli, or the bad ciel-esque-synthetics used in montale's aromatic lime. If it's better than Truefitt's without being sweeter, he gets my money. Thanks djron91
When TF was in London in summer last year to launch Bois Marocain he did mention that he was developing a lime fragrance that would initially be exclusive to his Los Angeles store. He does seem to suggest it will be very summery! Here's the article -
Last edited by alcibiades; 22nd March 2010 at 01:33 PM.
Any idea on when this will be released?
*lemming alert!*
Cant wait to learn more!
I just saw a seller on ebay selling a mini of Tom Ford Azure Lime. Unfortunately he's selling it as a part of a lot of 21 mini's comprising the entire Tom Ford Private Blend releases.
As per the description, this will be released in May.
I am definitely looking forward to this.
I tried this at saks 5th in SF yesterday. The TF rep had it in a mini atomizer and said it was gonna be released in about 3 months or so.
Jabel, how was it? What was it like?
Honestly I had spent the past 3 hours or so sniffing and sampling but from what I can remember it was very nice. Most of the TF Private Blend line to me is very much aimed at the older crowd (35+) and me being 20 I'm not keen on wearing much of it, but this one I really enjoyed. It was very very crisp and would go well in a nice summer day with a light application. I think it would also layer very well with lots of other fragrances but again this is just off of memory and I don't have the best of noses sorry
Tom Ford gives free samples if you email them (including this new one) and they are quite generous.. I've got about 6 samples comng in the mail.
Last edited by The_Cologneist; 29th March 2010 at 02:37 AM.
Ya go on the website and email them.. since they're much more expensive than other frags.. you may wanna try to be more convincing because I'm not 100% they give them to everyone -- I simply said that I'm a long time wearer of the original Tom Ford ever since its release in 2007 it's been my top shelf fragrance, and that I'd like to try several other ones by them before making my final purchase. The lady emailed me and verified my address and also asked if I was interested in trying the new lime one and I said absolutely. So just go on the site, look for the "contact us" feature.. send a message, odds are you'll hear back in 2-3 business days.. it may go to your spam folder as it did mine. That been said.. there are lots of sites where you can do this, I also had luck with the Kenzo site. I was actually planning on making a new thread based on sites I've had success with the samples with -- but after I actually received them.. this way everyone is satisfied.
^^ Thanks. I've read through the sample threads and all they seem to talk about is Mugler. I just searched "Tom Ford Samples" to no avail. Don't worry it won't be a bad thread
Look here, found by searching free samples. Feel free to add your new info there. It serves as a good, central place for sample information.
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
Emailed 'em today and got a quick response. We'll see how soon they send them out. Wish I had known they'd do that before I bought a few samples... oh well. Can't have too many, I guess.
Thanks jrd4t.
@shortino.. Ya I'm really getting tired of spending 3+ bucks for a tiny sample.
^^ Ya just be patient.. hopefully they're not getting overwhelmed with emails, one of the reasons I was skeptical about telling everyone. But hey.. I love sharing a good freebie!
I got a sample in the mail this morning from the AMAZING TF rep at the Las Vegas Neiman Marcus. She wrote it as Azuree Lime (two e's) - so I am not sure which way that will go.
First reaction is a clean lime scent that is good for summer. I could imagine mixing this with Creed Virgin Island Water and going for the ultimate Summer Cocktail.
For the first hour - it is reminding me of a few different department store designer frags - nothing as exceptional at the other private blends I love - so I was afraid it would be like the ill fated white musks.
Then after the second hour - I noticed a change. I am not good at identifying the notes - but it started going EXTRA clean - a la the new Serge Lutens - but with a twist. At this point, I am thinking it would be a good blend with the way KYlie Minogue Inverse for Men develops after the first hour.
It's becoming more interesting over time. It is definitely one that is worth sampling. For those who like cleaner / fresher scents - this will be a good one. For those like me who like things stronger and more intense - it might be a grow to love kind of thing.
Sounds very accessible djron91. Thanks for posting your impressions. I can't wait to smell this. I love lime notes.
I have never sampled those.. this is the first lime fragrance I have smelled.
Have a large roll-on sample from my NM Ford rep.
My take on it is the lime IS there but not as 'bright' as I would want - however, the lime does increase as it progresses
(full disclosure = yes I DO know it's TFord so take the progression part with a grain of salt.)
Overall - it's a pretty subdued scent but mixes well in the end with the reported oak notes.
This should be acceptable for summer but it isn't gonna rock your world all by itself.
On its own, it dries down to a SLIGHTLY limey wood. Kind of decent but . . . .
I layered it with Hermes elixir des Merveilles I already own while I was at the store thinking the oak notes in the two would work - that's one damn fine mix.
5 compliments from women between 2 & 6pm. I'll have a double straight up please.

Gonna try and hit up NM in Vegas tomorrow to catch a whiff. I totally forgot last week when I was at the mall. If they dont give me a sample I'll punch them in the nose and go to the Tom Ford boutique at City Center. If they dont give me a sample I'll scream obscenities in Hebrew and they'll respect me because I'll be wearing a suit and I'll be well groomed because I'm getting my haircut. Then I'll go to the Mandarin Oriental for tea time and relax
I so want to try this one. The rep online emailed me right back when I inquired... but I haven't gotten anything yet. It's been a couple of weeks. Hopefully soon.
Im gonna be up in the big smoke in a couple of weeks time , hope theres some stuff over ere to try

^I know.
1st post and all.
I own the Truefitt and am considering the Trumper, but will wait until I smell the Azure Lime 1st.
I like all 3, but the Pens has the worst longevity, and the lowest doses of the complimentary notes, most of the notes which all 3 scents share. On the plus side the pens has the highest proportion of natural lime oil, hence it being the sourest/most serious. The Truefitt smells both of natural Lime oil, and synthetic lime oil, which is sweeter and somewhat candied when compared to the tart/sour scent of the pure natural oil. Adn the Truefitt also has the most neroli/petitgrain of them all, giving it the best longevity. The trumper is between the two, less carefree and fun than the Truefitt, but also more natural and tart. Despite any neroli/lemon, and synthetic oils, they all give an impression that is unmistakably Lime, and all 3 smell natural to anyone other than us note snobs here.
Can't wait to try the Azure.

I tried this as part of Sniffapalooza this weekend and it is easily the most disappointing Private blend ever for me. It is depressingly linear and that would be fine but even the quality doesn't seem to be there. I would wear any of the Jo Malone lime fragrances, Trumper's, Penhaligon's, or Virgin Island water before I ever considered wearing this again.
This is two in a row from the Private Blends Bois Marocain had some of the same linearity issues but it was better than Azuree Lime.
They are going to have to start finding their way back to what they were doing a coiuple of years ago or this line is going to become an expensive joke.
More writing on fragrance by me to be found at http://www.cafleurebon.com/
I wore Azuree Lime today and I's say it's mediocre overall. The smell itself is above average to me, I love lime, and Tom Ford does a fantastic job on the lime, but after it dries down a little it smells candy like/synthetic, a good synthetic though. This basically reminds me of an extremely light English Leather drenched in lime. Projection seems to be pretty poor and longevity is about 4 hours. Kind of a disappointment from the private collection, but a fantastic aroma.
Tried Azure Lime today and I think it's f*cking fantastic. It smells like a long lost, 1970s, lime chypre. A very bright, ever-so-slightly synthetic lime and a dash of non-indolic white florals, over a base of what smells like real oak moss, sweet musk and some wood. Yum. This one has summer written all over it. No sickening Mojito b*llshit here. Congratulations Pour Monsiuer, you now have a wonderful grandchild. Could work on a man, but there is something wonderfully feminine going on here.

Please stay on topic
But once you get locked into a serious perfume collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
Got my sample -- love the lime. Pleasant scent and great for summer. However, it has pretty poor longevity on me. My vial is unmarked, so I'm not sure what the concentration is. The others of the Private Blend that I've tried have been EdP and good longevity on me. So that was a little disappointing.
When I tried Azure Lime I was underwhelmed, but to be fair to the fragrance, I'm not a fan of citrus and I don't like lime. This frag wasn't meant for me anyway. ( Anyone else get a Rose's Lime Cordial vibe off of this...? )
I agree, longevity is spotty on this.. especially in comparison to stuff like Tobacco Vanille and Noir de Noir. But it's kind of expected with a pure lime (for the most part) fragrance. Ya don't really see too many perfumes made that smell fruity, nor do you see many fragrances in general with fruity smells that last more than 6 hours.
Last edited by The_Cologneist; 6th May 2010 at 01:55 AM.
I tried this one today.
Im not a fan of the opening and I like citrus. Something about the citrus that reminds me of Bonds Little Italy. They may share some aroma chems. BUT.... Once I got pas that (maybe 20 mins) The florals, musk and woods are really really nice. I thought I also detected a soft leather note. I may be able to look past the opening but unfortunately it does seem a bit fleeting. I applied one spray to the back of the hand four hours ago and I can barely detect it. Its smells like an awesome skin scent but i like my scents a bit stronger. I got a sample so more testing and I will know if I need a full bottle of this.
I've noticed that I need to use 6 sprays....which is ALOT for me to really enjoy it and pick up the middle and basenotes and gives me some sillage. I like the crisp Mojito like scent in the top note, but only lasts 15 minutes. Anything under 6 sprays and the fragrance dies out too soon.

How does this compare to the lime in Bond No 9's Central Park?
