Dave Kloke, a building contractor and major fan of Abraham Lincoln, needed an 1860s locomotive to re-enact Lincoln's funeral train. He couldn't find one so he and a band of volunteers built one from scratch. They did much of the work in a warehouse in Elgin, Illinois, using old plans and wooden foundry patterns borrowed from the National Park Service. The locomotive was completed a few years back and the group is now working on a replica of the funeral car. If all goes according to plan, in 2015 the locomotive and funeral car will travel from Washington, DC to Springfield, Illinois to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's death. The videos below include interviews of Kloke, the story of the project, and some clips of the fabrication—which of course, include tools.

Over 12,000 Israelis and Tourists Dance to Electronic Beats at MasadaSaturday, October 25th, 2014
Underneath the Masada Mountain, along the shores of the Dead Sea, over 12,000 people danced to the electronic beats of Dash Berlin, Deep Dish and Sander Van Doorn and other international and local artists on Thursday night, October 23. The second annual Dead Sea Rave -424, which took place from sunset to sunrise, drew in thousands of people including 200 tourists from Europe and neighboring Arab countries.
Israel's version of the world's largest electronic music festival in Belgium, known as Tomorrowland, debuted last year, featuring the likes of international French DJ, David Guetta and Steven Angello of Swedish House Mafia who performed before 20,000 Israelis and tourists.
The annual event is placing Israel on the international music map, according to the head of the festival production, Avi Yossef of Zappa Group who has spent 20 years in the business of music production and promotion, including work with Infected Mushroom.
Yossef told Tazpit that David Guetta's performance last year is helping propel the annual Israeli rave to an international level. "A lot of international artists are interested in performing at this festival in Masada thanks to David Guetta's performance the previous year," Yossef said in an interview.
"For these international artists, the history and heroism at Masada together with performing at the lowest point on earth – 424 meters under the sea – is something that is truly unique," Yossef explained.
This year, festival organizers had only six weeks to put on the major production. "Once we saw that the ceasefire was holding, we didn't hesitate to hold this party after this difficult summer," Yossef told Tazpit.
With Holland's Dash Berlin the first to sign on for this year's performance, the dance festival's lineup featured two other Dutch electronic artists, W & W and Sander Van Doorn, along with the Iranian-American DJ and house music producers, Deep Dish, and UK's record producer and trance DJ, Paul Oakenfold. Other international artists had wanted to come, but had already been scheduled elsewhere according to Yossef.
"We took Dash Berlin to the top of Masada and they were simply awed by the history of the ancient fortress, and seeing where they would be performing later in the desert below," added Yossef.
About 1,000 festival personnel and security took part in the festival production that was hosted by the Tamar Regional Council in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, which promoted the Dead Sea Rave -424 across the world.
Tourism Minister Dr. Uzi Landau, commented that 'cultural tourism' is a growing niche market for Israel. "Festivals like the Dead Sea Rave -424 and the Israeli Opera Festival, in conjunction with concerts by major international artists such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna and the Rolling Stones, attract a different type of tourist to our country."
For the local Israelis, the festival is a huge event as well. "I never miss a concert and I'll travel anywhere in Israel to experience these parties," said Youssef, 21 from Jerusalem who DJ's at home. "I want to be a DJ myself someday."Anav Silverman, Tazpit News Agency
The Real and Radical Legacy of Rabbi Shlomo CarlebachMonday, September 1st, 2014
More robust accounts of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach's life have come to the surface following 20 years after he died on Oct. 20, 1994.
Earlier this year, Natan Ophir published the book "Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach: Life, Mission & Legacy." This past summer, Rabbi Shlomo Katz's "The Soul of Jerusalem" hit the shelves.
But even the authors will admit that this larger-than-life, soul-hugging rabbi's legacy cannot be fully captured in black-and-white pages.
"Shlomo did not seem to fit any restrictive, defining label," Ophir told JNS.org. "Reb Shlomo was… a charismatic teacher who combined storytelling, sermonic exegesis, and inspirational insights into creating a new form of heartfelt, soulful Judaism filled with a love for all human beings."
Carlebach, born in Germany from where his family fled following the Nazi invasion, immigrated to New York in March 1939 from Lithuania, just six months before the Nazis invaded that country. In 1945, the family moved to Manhattan so his father, Rabbi Naphtali Carlebach, could take over Congregation Kehilath Jacob on W. 79th Street. After his father's passing, Carlebach assumed leadership of the synagogue, today known as "The Carlebach Shul."
It was from his home base at The Carlebach Shul that Shlomo Carlebach set up the first known Hassidic outreach program, Taste and See God is Good (T.S.G.G.). According to Ophir, the organization was based on the idea that, as Carlebach said, "You cannot begin to talk to people about God unless you have first given them a taste of God is good."
In 1968, Carlebach established the House of Love and Prayer in San Francisco, the first Jewish commune.
His empathetic approach toward the spiritual imports from the Far East was radical for an Orthodox rabbi," said Ophir.
Everything Carlebach did was radical. He traveled to Germany in the 1960s to teach people whose parents had murdered scores of Jewish people that the time for peace and forgiveness had come, recalled Ben-Zion Solomon, whose home is next door to the late Carlebach's in the central Israeli community of Moshav Mevo Modi'in, also known as the "Carlebach moshav."
Carlebach was a scholar in his own right, studying at some of the most renowned American yeshivot. He later connected with the Lubavitch movement, whose leader at the time, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, encouraged him to go into outreach. This mandate was the start of what became his calling, serving as the rabbi of the hippie movement.
He had followers around the globe. Many young Jews returned to a Torah lifestyle as a result of their relationship with Carlebach.
His daughter Dari Carlebach said in a previous interview that her father was caught between two worlds—the religious/yeshiva world and the hippie world. She said her father had a huge desire "to love and heal the world," and he did it with "such heart and grace and empathy."
Shlomo Carlebach's unbridled passion might account for why it has taken this long to begin to canonize his legacy. Solomon recounts the way that his rebbe could focus on whoever needed him at the time, that "whoever he was talking to, he became their best friend."
Solomon and wife Dina met Carlebach in California. Carlebach encouraged Solomon to learn in Israel and eventually to make aliyah, and then handpicked his family to live on the Carlebach moshav.
Solomon recalled that when he arrived in Israel, he was told by the Orthodox-affiliated Diaspora Yeshiva that his wedding to Dina was not valid, as they did not have a ketubah, the Jewish marriage contract. He called Carlebach in a panic. The rabbi told him to get some wine and cake and meet him at the Shabbos House in Jerusalem at 1 a.m.JNS News Service
Rolling Stones Finally Choose Israel over BDSTuesday, March 25th, 2014
It's all over but the singing.
The long-rumored but often-doubted appearance of the Rolling Stones now is official. Mark the calendar, June 4, just about the same minute that the holiday of Shavuot ends.
The timing with the end of the holiday which celebrates the giving of the Torah to the People of Israel is one of the greatest contrasts of values possible. Moses' going up on Mt. Sinai to receive the Torah is one of the most remarkable and holy events in the history of the world.
It would be nice if the Rolling Stones would begin their concert with Havdalah, the prayer that signals the end of a holiday or Sabbath, but "but you can't always get what you want."
Without any sneers at the quality of the Rolling Stones' music and multi-media extravaganzas, their lyrics and antics are not where I would want my good Jewish children to be, but then again, I would have a problem with Frank Sinatra, also.
Israel really can do without the Rolling Stones although it will bring in a lot of shekels for the agents, parking attendants, transportation companies and hawkers.
June will not be a quiet month in Tel Aviv, which also has scheduled a two-day rock festival in mid-June with the Pixies, making their first appearance in Israel, the Hives and Soundgarden, whose lead singer Chris Cornell's has performed solo in Israel.
Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Neil Young and Miley Cyprus also are scheduled to appear in Israel this year.
Avraham Fried also will probably be around, but how can he be mentioned in the same breath with degeneration, with the exception of Neil Young.
Speaking of degenerates, the Boycott, Disinvestment and Sanction Movement must be having conniptions at the thought of the Stones performing in Israel and not Gaza.
The Israeli producer of the concert will be Shuki Weiss, who told a press conference Tuesday, "It's the first time in 35 years that I have no words to describe the enormity of this event. This is a historic moment."
A ticket will cost somewhere around $175 for the plain folks, and a bit more than $800 for the VIPs.
I think I will skip it, thank you. I covered the Stones' concert back in the 1970s with a freebie ticket. I admit it was an extravaganza, but beyond that, I think I would rather be part of the throng at Mt. Sinai.
Rest assured, the Boycott Israel crowd won't be in synagogue on Shavuot and won't be at the Stones concert in Tel Aviv when the holiday is over.
Last week, The Jewish Press dared the BDS Movement to boycott Whirlpool, the giant appliance conglomerate whose subsidiary KitchenAid is working with SodaStream, one of the favorite targets of Boycott Israel.
Okay, BDS, show your stuff and boycott the Stones.Tzvi Ben-Gedalyahu
World's Oldest Holocaust Survivor Stars in Oscar-Nominated FilmFriday, February 14th, 2014
In her 110 years, Alice Herz-Sommer has been an accomplished concert pianist and teacher, a wife and mother — and a prisoner in Theresienstadt.
Now she is the star of an Oscar-nominated documentary showing her indomitable optimism, cheerfulness and vitality despite all the upheavals and horrors she faced in the 20th century.
"The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life," a 38-minute film up for best short documentary at the Academy Awards to be handed out next month, begins in her native Prague. Alice — everyone from presidents on down calls her Alice — was born on Nov. 26, 1903 into an upper-class Jewish family steeped in literature and classical music.
A friend and frequent visitor was "Uncle Franz," surname Kafka, along with composer Gustav Mahler and other luminaries.
Trained as a pianist from childhood, Alice made her concert debut as a teenager, married, had a son and seemed destined for the pleasant, cultured life of a prosperous Middle European. But everything changed in 1939 when Hitler, casually tearing up the Munich accord of a year earlier, marched his troops into Prague and brought with him his anti-Semitic edicts.
Her public concert career was over, yet the family managed to hang on in an increasingly restrictive existence in the Czech capital.
In 1943, however, Alice and her husband, their 6-year old son Raphael (Rafi), and Alice's mother were loaded on the transport to Theresienstadt. The fortress town some 30 miles from Prague was touted by Nazi propaganda as the model ghetto — "The Fuhrer's gift to the Jews," with its own orchestra, theater group and even soccer teams.
With the full extent of the Holocaust still largely unknown, Alice took her deportation with relative equanimity, as was typical for many European Jews.
"If they have an orchestra in Terezin, how bad can it be?" she recalled asking, using the Czech name of the town.
Alice soon found out, as her mother and husband perished there. Alice was saved by her musical gifts and became a member of the camp orchestra and gave more than 100 recitals.
But her main focus was on Rafi, trying to make his life bearable, to escape the constant hunger and infuse him with her own hopefulness.
"What she did reminded me of Roberto Benigni in the Italian film 'Life is Beautiful,' " said Malcolm Clarke, director of "The Lady in Number 6." "He plays an Italian Jew who pretends to his young son that life in the camp is some kind of elaborate game for the boy's special amusement."
Liberated in 1945, Alice and Rafi returned to Prague but four years later left for Israel. There she taught at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and performed in concerts frequently attended by Golda Meir, while Rafi became a concert cellist.
Alice said she loved her 37 years living in Israel, but when Rafi, her only child, decided to move to London, she went with him. A few years later Rafi died at 65, but the mother remained in her small flat, No. 6, in a North London apartment house.
Nearly all of the film was shot over a two-year period inside the flat dominated by an old Steinway piano on which Alice played four hours each day, to the enjoyment of her neighbors.
Originally the filmmakers considered "Dancing Under the Gallows" as the film's title before going with "The Lady in Number 6."
It was a wise decision, for the film is anything but a grim Holocaust documentary with Alice's unfailing affirmation of life, usually accompanied by gusts of laughter.
Her health and speech have declined in recent months, and she no longer does interviews. But in a brief phone conversation, conducted mainly in German, Alice attributed her outlook partially to having been born with optimistic genes and a positive attitude.JTA
American Culture: How to Reconcile the Brutal and the Effete?Monday, August 26th, 2013
Originally published at Rubin Reports.
I'm deeply confused about American culture. Let me cite two incidents as examples and then talk about some attitudes I hear about from my son's reports on visits with friends. Perhaps readers can explain this contradiction between the effete and the brutal.
Arriving in the United States, I go to the nearby Trader Joe's food store. It is of course very PC. At the checkout counter, the clerk asks, "Have you returned anything?" I did a double-take. Is this a bid for higher taxes? A taunt to the 1 percent who shop there?
No, he explains that they have some kind of program about bringing back bags. "The people in Bethesda," he smugly asserts, "are the smartest!"
By coincidence, I had just heard some article saying that using returned bags is potentially dangerous since there can be some food remnants that rot and may breed bacteria. (I certainly don't know what is true scientifically.) Unable to resist, and out of curiosity, I said, "Maybe they are not the smartest," and explained my concern.
Instantly, he changed his attitude, snarled and said, "They're the smartest!" No contradiction would be tolerated. Anyway, he started it. But given all the waste involved in a supermarket business–let's start with the packaging–the small but highly right-thinking-people gesture of reused bags strikes me as a laughable symbol. Not to mention the fact that Trader Joe's isn't giving out food to the poor or opening stores to take big losses in what Michelle Obama calls, "food deserts."
Is this salvation on the cheap, like those in wealthy California coastal cities that take away the farmers' water to save some obscure fish and then congratulate themselves on their enlightenment?
About the same time, I sit in a sandwich place and a song comes on the radio. My jaw drops. A female singer repeats the lyric, "I said drive, bitch," apparently it's a car-jacking? She just keeps going over and over again in a very aggressive tone. At the end, the sound effect indicates that the female driver has been shot and fell down dead.
I sat there speechless. I simply couldn't believe what I was hearing. If there is a "war on women" isn't it actually waged most vigorously in certain sectors of popular music? The same could be said of the music of the much honored Jay-Z or many others.
Now perhaps this is a silly taking of two extreme phenomena, and I'll accept that verdict if that's what you think. But it symbolizes perhaps a bigger thing. On one hand, American culture today (should I say popular culture?) is one of watch your language, goody-goody, we are just so virtuous. There is rap music and the message given to children in Politically Correct lessons.
On the other hand, though, on film, television, literature, music, and public discourse it is intolerant and at times proudly brutal. Is that a valid observation? And if so how is this tension reconciled?
During a visit to the United States, conversations among young teenage boys, who in school were subjected to intense indoctrination, run like this:
–They make fun of alleged gays among them, flinging the charge as insulting but then quickly adding, not that there's anything wrong with that.
–They show very vile disrespect toward girls of their age. It doesn't seem that there is any change over the decades, but there certainly isn't a reduction of "sexist" attitudes. They discuss them far more openly. The concept of gentleman or even restrained behavior is gone, perhaps in conjunction with the musical examples. Attitudes that would once have been derided as "low-class" by the elite have now become common place. So how is there then an elite setting a good example?
–They use far more racial epithets and negative stereotypes of others than my generation, though it is covered by frequent accusations that this or that is racist. Dubbing of something as racism is used as a weapon, a description of something one doesn't like.
–They see themselves as part of some downtrodden class even though they are financially well-off. For example, they talk about rich white people but when pointed out that they live in big houses, they say the houses are bigger in some other neighborhoods.Barry Rubin

For many of us, controlling our weight is a never-ending battle.
But thanks to a Partnership for a Healthier Johnson County we have an ally.
The health organization started another round of Dump Your Plump this week. The competition runs through March 29, so it's not too late to form a team. While the most successful teams will win some prize money, the real payoff is better health for all the participants.
Dump Your Plump encourages people to get at least 30 minutes of exercise five days each week. Teams of four to 10 set goals for weight loss, and the teams that meet the goals the most during the 10-week span of the competition could win $1,000. Teams can be a mix of friends, family, co-workers or anyone else who wants to get fit.
"Whether someone has a little or a lot of weight to lose, it doesn't matter. It helps you with whatever journey you need to take," said Penny Bramner, a Needham resident and three-time participant in Dump Your Plump.
The competition asks team members to exercise for at least 30 minutes five days a week. Participants also are asked to set a reasonable weight-loss goal. Computer software tabulates points for the teams based on the goals met.
The weight-loss aspect ensures people eat right. The exercise mandate makes them healthier and helps establish a routine that keeps the weight off, said Beth Ross, program operations coordinator for Partnership for a Healthier Johnson County.
The program has become increasingly popular with area businesses, Ross said. Part of that has been a push for workplace wellness, with businesses actively encouraging their employees to be healthier to help lighten the load of insurance costs.
Individual businesses are going above the $1,000 team prize, adding incentives such as additional money to the team members who have best met their goals. Last year, Johnson Memorial Hospital offered a $500 prize to the employee who had the most success, Ross said.
To help other businesses, the hospital also has provided a mobile wellness team to go to businesses and talk to them about keeping fit. REMC and Mutual Savings Bank participated.
"They promote Dump Your Plump as a way to win points for their own wellness program. It's a good way to motivate them. We're a staple in a lot of their programs," Ross said.
Dump Your Plump began in 2004, and since then, 26 rounds of the competition have been conducted. The last round was from September to December and featured 56 teams, said Lorri Lefevers, program liaison with Partnership for a Healthier Johnson County.
Of the 376 participants, 95 met or exceeded their weight-loss goals. More than 2,200 pounds were lost in total, an average of almost six pounds per person.
Partnership for a Healthier Johnson County is truly a grassroots initiative involved in several health issues, such as helping smokers quit and expectant mothers before their babies are born.
Dump Your Plump is one of its most successful programs because it's fun as well as helpful.
So if you're thinking of trying to shed some weight, form a team and sign up. Everyone involved will end up a winner.

Frontier City re-opens after E. Coli is found in water
Frontier City amusement park, which closed Thursday afternoon and Friday morning due to a harmful bacteria found in the water used for drinking and preparing food, has re-opened.
Earlier this week, tests done by state Department of Environmental Quality workers at the 51-year-old amusement park found E. coli, said DEQ spokeswoman Skylar McElhaney.
"If E. coli is present it does not matter how much is there. It could have an adverse health risk and a boil order is necessary," McElhaney said.
The park re-opened at 12:30 p.m. with restrictions on drinking the water or using the water for food preparation, a park spokeswoman said. No water rides will be closed as a result of the contamination.
Andrea Pennock, Frontier City spokeswoman, said park officials closed the theme park in northeast Oklahoma City Thursday afternoon after learning of the test results, and park officials met Friday before deciding to re-open.
Bottled drinks and pre-packaged food will be available for guest purchase, she said.
New mechanical chlorination systems have been installed and all water servicing facilities have been sanitized. Both the water and the facilities will be inspected, she said
"The Department of Environmental Quality is continually working with Frontier City staff to insure the highest water quality for our guests and employees," Pennock said in a statement.
McElhaney said the park was not required to close the gates but must now notify the public of the tests results and that the water is unsafe for human consumption. She said the Oklahoma City-Oklahoma County Health Department will be required to check food preparations at the park.
Meanwhile the park has been required to install a chlorinator, McElhaney said. Then DEQ workers will have to get eight test results to show the water is clean once the chlorinator is working.
She said she did not know of any reports of anyone getting sick from drinking the water at the park.
Pam Williams, spokeswoman for the state Health Department, said her agency has not had any reports of anyone becoming ill from E. coli from drinking water at Frontier City or eating food there.
Oklahoma City-Oklahoma County Health Department workers were also at the park Friday morning, said H.R. Holman, spokesman. He said the park uses well water that has been tested positive for E. coli. He said park officials have been told not to serve ice or water.
"We are out there working with the park," Holman said.
He said no one has reported being sick form water at the park. He said symptoms of being exposed to E. Coli may not show up for 12 to 18 hours after being exposed. He said the park officials called the city-county health department about 4 p.m. Thursday about the test results.
Pennock could not comment on specifics of the water test results but released the following statement:
"Like many in this area, we utilize well water which is quality-tested monthly by the Department of Environmental Quality. Immediately upon notification of unsatisfactory test results on July 30, all use of public water was terminated and, out of an abundance of caution, the park was closed."

By The Hill Staff - 08/03/11 11:07 PM EDT
• The Corporation for National and Community Service has proposed to change a rule to "require grantees to conduct and document criminal history checks … on [certain] … grant-funded participants and staff." The staff would have to complete "state criminal history checks and FBI fingerprint checks" if they have "recurring … access to children, persons age 60 and older or individuals with disabilities." The proposed rule is open for comment through Aug. 5.
• The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed to extend "time-limited interim tolerances" to restrict how much combined residue from tetrachlorvinphos, an organic pesticide, can be left on certain foods, such as milk, poultry, pork and beef. The agency expects some of the entities affected by this extension to include those in crop production, animal production, food manufacturing and pesticide manufacturing. The rule, which will allow the agency "to review [certain livestock] data" in order to establish "permanent tolerances," is open for comment on or before Aug. 8.
• The Federal Communications Commission is looking for comments on a proposed rule that would "permit the implementation of Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) technology." TETRA is a private land-mobile radio service technology that could be used "in a range of industrial, business, land transportation and public safety activities." The rule, which also creates technical requirements to prevent interference of TETRA equipment with existing technology, is open for reply comments up to and including Aug. 9.
• The Agriculture Department has given advanced notice of proposed rulemaking that would change importer declaration requirements for "certain plants and plant products." Currently, the Lacey Act necessitates declaration of specific plants and plant products "at the time of importation." The department is seeking comment regarding "establishing certain exceptions" and "modifying the [declaration form] … to simplify the collection of information." The proposed rule is open for comment through Aug. 29.
• The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has produced a proposed rule that would create requirements for community mental health centers to be included in the Medicare program. The rule would, "for the first time," necessitate a certain quality of care, "establish requirements for staff and provider operations and encourage clients to participate in their care plan and treatment." CMS, which would also gain surveying power to confirm community centers are meeting the "health and safety requirements," is seeking comment through Aug. 16.

Maybe I am missing something but I sure have not found a great bike shop with a great wheel builder in the Valley of the Sun. There was one in the Arrowhead Ranch Section of Glendale but he closed yeafrsago.
Was checking out two that people pointed me to this weekend, and when I asked to speak with their wheel building expert. I get the impression they do not build on site, but order from the same places I can order from.

that's just enough to suffle around some paperwork to stay in existance... for how long?? until they run out of $$ i'd now say it needs a huge drop for me to play the swing on this... maybe in @.12 and out @.26 I'll keep it on my radar, but nowhere near buyin in. glta
The layoffs get rid of the dead weight. They have tons of cash, so this only helps their position.
No, they do not have tons of cash... After the severance payments and the one-time charge they will be left with almost nothing.I do own shares (quite a few, mind you), but at $1.22 average.I don't need to draw fire, but this company will file for bankruptcy by the end of November. IF that long. I will take the tax loss, to offset what has so far been a good year.

Why is there no handle bar that is both bullhorn and drop? Basically like drop bars with brake levers acting as bullhorns. People can choose one or the other but there is no bar that combines both styles?
Is there a bar like this already out there?
I'm thinking it's not made for these reasons: would be heavier, might look stupid, most people prefer one or the other bar type, maybe it won't work for some reason I'm missing?
I just like riding bullhorns but think it would be nice to switch to the drop position every once and a while. I also think you'd have more hand positions.
Okay bring the fire guys.
Edit: tried to edit title fail. "So" not "do"

Discussion in 'Italian-English' started by Frank Hawk, Jan 24, 2005.
is there an Italian word "patino", if so what does it mean?
What does "patino" mean?
Hello Frank Hawk and welcome.
I can't recall a word such as this existing in italian, unless it is a surname.
The two more similar words which come to my mind are:
patina = gloss, glaze...
patio, which I find is said the same way in english.
You know the context where you found the word, so you can judge better than anyone else which of these 2 are nearer to the one you are searching.....
In other words, if you need more help, please provide the context.
Dear Pippi,
Thanks for the info. The person who asked the question had recently attended a Christening and was the godfather. He was trying to write a nice letter to the child's parents who speak, primarily Italian, but couldn't get the words straight as he hasn't been back to Italy in many years. I was able to suggest the Italian word for godfather, but not for the child being Christened. I have been studying Spanish for the last two years and as I'm sure you know there are similarities but plenty of differences also between Spanish and Italian. My interest lies in linguistics and cognitive science which is why I am studying yet another language. Thanks again for your advice.
Hi Frank
is 'patino' spanish? I searched it in some spanish vocabularies and couldn't find it.....
Were you looking for the italian word for 'baby'? Do I understand well'?
That would be 'bambino' as a general term, not sure it would fit well the wishes in a letter, though.
As for the differences between Spanish and Italian, strangely enough I can understand fairly well if I hear speaking catalan (more than castellano, because it is even more similar to italian) but if I read spanish (castellano) I have no clue for a lot of words.
Hi Frank and Pippi :
My 2 cents: a recapitulation...
The Godfather is il Padrino or Compare. The Godmather is la Madrina or Comare / Commare. The child being christened is il "figlioccio" or la "figlioccia". I'm sure there are regional names for this, but at the moment I can't remember one!!!
Ciao! Hope it helped, Walnut
My dictionary says:
chi è stato tenuto a battesimo o a cresima, rispetto al padrino o alla madrina
Walnut, I guess you mixed wedding & christening.
Padrino and madrina are for christening, while comare and compare are the witnesses at a wedding. Though, nowadays comare and compare are not used anymore... at least by Northern Italians.
Hello everyone,
I have just come across the word patino in a book I'm reading...I think it refers to a boat of some sort? Does anyone know what kind of boat it could be called in english?
Here is the sentence:
Uscivano tutte le mattine sul mare in patino.
Thank you for any help with this!
This is a patino or pattino (the accent is on the second sillable). The English equivalent should be " twin-hull pleasure boat".
Patino is a word used only in some regions of Italy, I think. For sure in Tuscany. It's the boat used by life guards to rescue people or simply by bathers to navigate near the coast. It's moved by raws.
I think it's the same...
Hope you don't mind a little correction F11.
Thank you! I'm eager to receive corrections even though I dream not to need them!
Thank you all very much!
I believe it could be dialect. "Patino" means godfather. I used to call my godparents "patino" and "patina". I was also watching "Pinocchio" last night on TV. He called a women who was like a fairy goodmother as "patina" maybe someone else can chime in.
Separate names with a comma.

- Use prior to Bone Dry Sealers
- Allows Bone Dry to react with concrete on extremely porous concrete
Bone Dry Primer penetrates deeply into porous substrates where its active ingredients fill small cracks and voids and interstitial spaces between the matrix particles. These deposits will react with Bone Dry to fill all of the small spaces within the substrate to form a permanent water barrier.
(To 'Fortify' Concrete Block, Gunite & Shotcrete With Alkali Prior To Sealing With Bone Dry PCS)
Bone Dry Primer is a colorless, non-toxic, non-flammable, low viscosity, spray applied liquid formulation that adds alkali to porous substrates such as concrete block, shotcrete or gunited concrete prior to subsequent applications of Bone Dry PCS.
Manufactured By:
Bone Dry Products, Inc.
9114 58th Place, STE 400
Kenosha, WI 53144
Product Description
Bone Dry Primer penetrates deeply into porous substrates where its active ingredients fill small cracks and voids and interstitial spaces between the matrix particles. These deposits will react with Bone Dry PCS to fill all of the small spaces within the substrate to form a permanent water barrier.
- allows porous concrete materials to be internally waterproofed with Bone Dry PCS.
Limitations :
- Bone Dry Primer is formulated solely for cement based building materials and does not effectively penetrate asphalt, metal or wood, brick or masonry
- Bone Dry Primer will not penetrate acrylic or nonporous rubber based paints
- Bone Dry Primer must be applied at full strength to attain the desired results
- over application of the material may cause white deposits to form on the surface. These deposits should be removed by brushing and/or flushing with water prior to subsequent applications of BONE-DRY.
Bone Dry Primer is a non-toxic, (water based) blend of inorganic suspended solids which extend throughout porous substrates to provide the additional alkali required to react with the Bone Dry PCS.

Preparatory Work:
No preparatory work is generally required. However, if the surface is coated with heavy wax, thick grease, recently applied surface sealer, rubber or acrylic paint or other impervious material, remove such materials so that the Bone Dry Primer can reach the surface where it will be allowed to penetrate into the substrate. Accidental over application will not discolor the surface.
Method of Application:
- Dampen surface to be treated (do not saturate) using a fine mist water spray.
- Saturate the surface thoroughly with Bone Dry Primerat an approximate rate of 100 – 150 square feet per gallon, depending upon porosity of the substrate. Low pressure spray equipment, such as a hand pumped garden type sprayer works well for medium sized areas. For large areas, airless spray equipment is very efficient. Small areas can be effectively treated using a spray bottle.
Brushes or rollers are not recommended because of the low viscosity of the Bone Dry Primer.
Do not allow the Bone Dry Primer to pond or puddle on horizontal surfaces, as a white residue will likely form on the surface. Move the excess material from the low spots on the floor to the high spots with a squeegee, mop or broom. Any remaining material should be picked up with a wet vac or mop.
The time for additional applications can be judged by observing the time it takes for the Bone Dry Primer to soak into the substrate. If the Primer soaks in quickly, generally less than fifteen minutes after application, additional material should be applied.
- Bone Dry Primer will not penetrate latex, polyvinyl or acrylic based paints.
Unpainted surfaces: Generally, no surface preparation is necessary.
- For surfaces such as basement and outside walls,follow standard procedures as described above.
- Oil, grease or acid conditions: Preliminary cleaning ofthe surface is necessary before Bone dry primer isapplied. Heavy deposits may require scraping, followed by thorough cleaning with a commercial degreaser. After the surface has been cleaned, apply Bone Dry Primer until the substrate has been thoroughly soaked with the material.
- Allow the substrate to dry to a damp condition beforeapplying Bone Dry PCS.
Bone Dry Primer should not be applied to glazed floor or wall tile, or glazed or hard fired brick where the glaze will prevent the penetration of the material. However, Bone Dry Primer may be applied over these materials if the intent is to seal the grout joints. In such cases, after the PRIMER has sufficiently soaked into the grout, remove all excess material from the surface with a wet vac, squeegee or mop. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge to remove any remaining film. This will greatly minimize the possibility of a white deposit or film from forming on the tile or brick.
Bone Dry Primer should not be applied to masonry structures having a mortar or grout containing a latex binder.
Bone Dry Primer should not be applied or stored at freezing temperatures. 45 degree minimum surface temperature.
If freezing occurs during storage, agitate the thawed material thoroughly to assure uniform solution.
During outside applications, care should be taken to protect vegetation and adjacent areas from direct spray or overspray.

Materials and Finishes
- solid wood
- matt, glossy, antique leaf, Black Vintage, Special lacquer

Technical Characteristics
Shabby Grey, White: manufacturings that concern the solid wood table structure obtained through "peeling", a process that expose and enhances the wood pureness, obtaining different effects for each product.
Antique Leaf: the silver/gold leaf finish is realized with old traditional techniques, respecting the different working and drying phases: the lamina is applied following accurate procedures and using extremely high quality materials, like glues and glazes (for gliding). Leaf finishes result completely non-toxic.
Lacquering: it is realized with non-toxic polyurethane paints, without chloride, mutagenic and teratogenic materials and in the highest quality finish, the brushed one, which is carried out through a "brushing" process of the product obtained using polishing pads to get the utmost evenness of the surface.
"Special" Lacquering: peculiar surface finish intended to obtain three particular effects: Champagne, Striped Brass and Peltro. Champagne is an exclusive finish with a champagne chromed effect; Striped Brass is a special brushed finish in brass or slate colours, and is completely made by hand with crafting techniques; Peltro is the result of a superficial oxidation in order to obtain a one of a kind product that cannot be reproduced.
This product is made by Modà, a company from Brianza born from the creative genius of the interior designer Matteo Perego, who has clear ideas about fashion and life style, which have led to the creation of a one-of-a-kind brand.

"California Here We Come and Went (Boo Hoo)" California by riorich55
California Travel Guide: 48,220 reviews and 117,614 photos
I started to write my California pages before our visit in late October and early November, 2010 but didn't get too far. I haven't been to California since pre-VT days with the last visit to the San Diego area back in 2005 for a Cubs Baseball and golf weekend with my best friend who lives in Washington State.
Sue has only been to California once with me on a business trip back in 1994 and I haven't been back to the Bay area since 1996 after many business trips there in the 80's and 90's.
This time we spent 11 nights and 10 days almost equally between Napa Valley, Yosemite and of course my favorite San Francisco. I need to bring out some of those old photos of my trips way back then and compare them to all the new ones we took. We took many more photos this time around, but going digital has had a big influence on that.
More commonly know as the Golden Gate Bridge, my original pictures of this and many other sights in and around the Bay area were probably my early beginnings of what I now consider one of my full time hobbies, photography. When Sue and I were there in 1994, I took our video camera and took pictures of the entire ride on a cable car among others. I probably haven't seen that video take since 1995, so that may be a real good incentive to really start cleaning the house so I can find it.
By the way I read a bottle cap before we went on our trip in 2010 which said that the true color of the Golden Gate Bridge is International Orange (just in case you were interested)
Photo of Me Jumping in Front of the GG Bridge for Jumping Norman. I am jumping, really I am!!
I wanted to think of a way to put the picture of our oversized Mercury Marquis rental in a picture and I figured since we drove this through California on our trip that this would be the appropriate spot. It didn't like those hills and small turns. This is strictly an Interstate car.

One garage said thermostat needed replacing. Second said thermostat and several gaskets and a temp sensor. The light went off by itself and the temp gauge is staying at a neutral point. Is there a way to know if you need to replace this immediately or can it go a while? Ive also looked up how to change myself as I can buy the part for 30 bucks and mechanics want $500! Could I pull off the fix on my own?

No doubt our RSS feeds will be awash with trends for 2013 any time soon however I would like us to think about something bigger that is happening in business…
Social media or social marketing have changed the way customers see the relationship with brands. Many companies still think that this is a fad but after steady growth over a decade I am not sure why the customer believing they should be valued and listened to – should be a fad!
The behavoural trend will spread….from customer interfaces to manufacturing, to creative – across the business. You see when people taste a bit of power…they normally start a revolution…social media was evolutionary.
We all have to match short term delivery of budget numbers with our long term value creation being sustained. When looking at the long term, it is worth thinking about how the relationship will evolve….to what I call the 'social business'.
As leaders we can either laugh at the idea of the customer logging on to our creations and printing them out at home or we can say…actually, it is moving there now, slowly…how do we turn this into a long term opportunity?
Because for business there is huge opportunities, just think…
- No more delivery costs with escalating fuel hikes.
- No more manufacturing and hoping the shipping container doesn't sink or attacked by pirates on the way to China
- Reduction in environmental footprint
- Closer relationship with customer
- The ability to truly customise with no extra cost
- The chance to do what Amazon did to books – reimagine the role of the business with the customer and the supply chain.
The tools will come and go, so don't get hung up on whether it's Pinterest, or whether it is Twitter or Facebook…they are the delivery mechanisms.
As the year finishes take a virtual helicopter tour above your company…..and think beyond the delivery mechanisms…and say…
"What will our supply chain be capable of in x years time? What are the customer behaviors which will drive this innovation? What opportunities could we start work on today to create the new social business model of the future?"

Embassy Row
Morrison, James, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
When he first saw the looted treasures of ancient Greece in the British Museum, he was a 14-year-old Greek tourist in London.
"I was offended," Evangelos Venizelos said yesterday, recalling his impression of the infamous Elgin marbles.
Today at age 40, Mr. Venizelos is the Greek minister of culture and is fighting to get them back.
Visiting here this week, he said he seeks U.S. support to help him pressure the British into returning the massive haul of statues and sculpted marble slabs taken from the Parthenon in Athens in the early 19th century by Scotsman Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin.
Bruce was then British ambassador in Constantinople and Greece was ruled by the Ottoman Turks, who allowed him to take the marbles. The Greeks today argue the Turks had no right to give them away and the British have no right to keep them.
Mr. Venizelos said he is trying the diplomatic approach with London, asking politely for their return. If the British refuse, as they have before, the Greeks are prepared to sue in international courts.
"The Parthenon is the symbol of Western civilization," he said.
Mr. Venizelos said the United States has already demonstrated "good behavior" concerning disputed ownership of antiquities by returning a trove of 3,500-year-old Mycenaean gold treasures that had been purchased years earlier on the black market by a U.S. collector.
Mr. Venizelos arrived in New York earlier this week to open an exhibition on "The Glory of Byzantium" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
He is also promoting a major exhibit of Byzantium artifacts that will be displayed in June in Thessalonica, Greece, this year's designated "cultural capital" of the European Union. The exhibit will feature treasures held by the Monastic Republic of Mount Athos in northern Greece.
The U.S. ambassador to Colombia stirred up more controversy this week by revealing that Colombian drug lords offered to provide evidence that President Ernesto Samper accepted drug money.
Ambassador Myles Frechette's comments Wednesday came on the same day that Colombia said it was temporarily suspending a drug crop eradication program after Washington decided to declare that Colombia was failing to cooperate in the drug war for the second consecutive year. …

So Long to the Google+ Local App
Posted on Wednesday, July 31st, 2013 by Michelle Silverstein Print This Post
Categories - Featured, News, Social Media
The local search landscape is constantly evolving, and even major publishers like Google grapple with the challenges of displaying (and profiting from) local business information. Amidst this climate of instability, Google announced they will be shutting down the Google+ Local App on August 7, only a year after it was first introduced. This decision is part of an effort to streamline local results into the Google Maps for mobile app, which essentially contains the same information. This app's demise represents just a sliver of the many changes that Google's local display scheme has undergone.
Google initially offered Google Places pages, which featured individual pages dedicated to local businesses containing basic business information. Last year, these Google Places pages were integrated into Google+ as a tab on the left sidebar called Local. Google+ Local Pages integrated information from Google+ to include star ratings, reviews and photos from Google+ users. While this move streamlined and expanded Google's delivery of local business information, it also represented an attempt on Google's part to push their social media platform, Google+. Google+ Local Pages is Google's attempt to siphon local market-share away from other social media sites (like Facebook) AND other local review sites (like Yelp & Citysearch). With the creation of the Google+ Local Pages came the creation of the Google + Local App.
Now that app is dead. The same information that could be found in the Google+ Local App will be streamlined into the new Google Maps for mobile app, which just debuted earlier this month.
The Search Agency's local search expert Brian McCarthy weighs in on how these changes signal heightened competition within the local mobile search market:
"With local mobile ad spend predicted to increase 750% by 2017 to $9.1 billion, (BIAKelsey "From National to Local Mobile Advertising Zeroes In") Google is laser-focused on maintaining or growing their share. Facebook's recent blowout quarter centered on their success with mobile advertising, so clearly the race is on. This change by Google should provide the best experience for their users while also capitalizing on the opportunity for revenues. Score one for Google."
In combining local business and review information into the new map app, Google seems to be leveraging their enviable map data to dominate the local search landscape.
