I'd say Darla Moore got her just desserts…she might have been kicked off the USC board of trustees, but now she's one of the first female members of Augusta National.
I'm not quite sure how to take this groundbreaking news…it's sad that in the 21st century it's big news that women are finally granted membership to this storied golf club. But that's the way Augusta National rolls, and they couldn't have chosen two more iconic individuals. Condoleeza Rice and Darla Moore are strong, smart, accomplished women. …and they weren't chosen because they are CEO's of a potential sponsor for the Masters Tournament . This decision was most likely prompted by the club's refusal to grant membership to the female CEO of this past year's sponsor, IBM, even though they have traditionally inducted CEO's…all male.
If membership in this club is really about access to power and the places where deals and money are made as Ms. Burk of the National council of Women's Organization claims, then they chose the right women. Darla Moore is a savvy businesswoman who knows her way around the corporate world, and Condi Rice has negotiated with the toughest players in the international world. So I'd say both of them could teach those stuffy old men at Augusta National a thing or two.
Welcome to the club, ladies. Now when they invite you to the ladies tees, they won't mean the one with crumpets.
That's my perspective.

Newt Gingrich on the Rise in GOP Race

Republican stick shot and ...

Republicans Win in Hawaii, Anti-Establishment Candidates Show Strength and More in Capital Eye Opener: May 24
May 24, 2010
HERE'S LOOKING AT DJOU: Republican Honolulu city council member Charles Djou has prevailed in the special election to fill the House seat in Hawaii's First Congressional District. The contest saw a combination of 14 Democrats, Republicans and independents vying for the seat, and the winner needed only a plurality of the vote, not a majority to prevail.

100 miles of heaven (plus hotsprings!)
For right-brained people
There is so much to do on a Middle Fork of the Salmon trip that you may need to go more than once, and a lot of people do; (and, because it is a free-flowing river with dramatic changes in flow between June and August, those who do return feel like it is a different place). Where do we begin? The whitewater is amazing, not just in difficulty but also in consistency: the whole river is like a continuous, frolicking riffle interrupted by a couple of noteworthy pulse-quickeners every day; an uncommon arrangement thanks to some unique geology, (the river flows due north). The water itself is stunning; "gin-clear" is the expression a lot of people use but it seems inadequate. Let's just say you can see fish swimming around at the bottom of 20 foot deep pools. Lots of fish, in fact, which is why the Middle Fork is world-renowned for its fly-fishing; beginner or expert you will be spoiled. The scenery has something for everyone; dense forests to start, dramatic cliffs to end, photogenic views all along. Then there are enchanting side streams, fascinating Indian rock art, abandoned homesteads, easy trails and a spectacular waterfall on day 5 that almost tops all the other attractions. And hotsprings! In one day you can run a legitimate Class IV rapid, visit 800 year old pictographs, hike up a pristine side stream, soak in a hotsprings, see a bighorn sheep and catch an 18-inch cutthroat trout on a dry fly; (and some people have done the last three at the same time).
""My husband and I recently returned from an ARTA trip on the Middle Fork. We were with two children and five grandchildren. The trip was a 50th wedding anniversary present from our children. We had a wonderful time. It was perfectly organized. The guides were knowledgeable about the history, flora, fauna and geology of the area. They were aware of us at all times; life jackets buckled, helmets on properly, swimming safely. Their skill in navigating the river and rapids was extraordinary. I never felt a moment of fear. On top of all this, they were great cooks, always cheerful and entertaining. Their perfect organization was almost unbelievable. I will always recommend ARTA to anyone. Thanks for a marvelous experience. I obviously can't stop talking about it!"

Emergency Medicine Physician
Everything was professional. I was feeling horrible when I came in, but the front desk lady was very kind and help me right away since it was my first time and I had to Fill out papers. They call me after 10 min, I didn't had to wait that long. The only thing I didn't like it was the attitude of the nurse Carla who took my pressure and temperature, she was really rude and despot. I was blowing my nose and ask for a trash can and she just kicked with her feet saying " it here" with a really rude attitude, I was feeling horrible because of the sinusitis I had and that made me feel worts. I would prefer somebody's nicer and kind instead of her. Other then that the receptionist and the doctor we're very kind and professional. I would decently recommend the doctor.

|This is my top favorite photo of the month. It wowed and grabbed my attention the first time I saw this. Such an artistic way of sending message and selling product, epic indeed.
|Bow-ties have been a favorite accessory of mine for quite some time and I think it will still be for this month to complete the preppy looks that I totally adore.
|Again, the photo reminds me of being in the 90's and the so popular class A+ brand Versace. So stylish and brave. Two thumbs-up.
|Chace Crawford is one of my favorite actors. I have to say that he has to still grow huge and have plenty of rooms for improvement but nonetheless he is a fantastic model and the camera loves him.
|Edgy teen girl looks are really attractive in my eyesight now and they wow me big time when I see them still sexy with all those black garments including spikes @_@
|So vintage look but so artistic. Something I would really want to have a photograph like.
|Well this Latina Actress always impress me whether she's in a magazine or on tv. She is such a great creation of God. She is not just perfect physically but she is as well very talented.
|Reminds me of my favorite male model but this model can also have the career of his own, obviously he has the potential. I love the poses of teen models of today, so refreshing and fun.
|Casablanca is one of my favorite movies and this photo reminds me of it. I love the whole look and the place is so wonderful.
|The clothes are designer's but what catches my eyes was the photograph itself <3 br="br">3>
|Well my dream company and maybe it will only happen in my dreams. Dior is one of the most dreamed companies of fashionistas! L-O-V-E!
Finally, The two inspirational lookbookers that I adore. Olivia Harrison who is so in love with black garments but still looks so chic. I love what she was wearing in that photo. I am a fan of the MOSCHINO belt and I have to say that it really helped complete the look. Another thing that I love about Olivia is how brave she is in terms of wearing black stuff without looking like she's going to a funeral. Really talented indeed.
Another lookbooker that captivated my attention is Clément Lasserre who is a 17 year old french guy. I thought he has a very great eye for fashion and he is so model like type of guy. I love what he was wearing in the photo especially the tank top which I think rarely used by the male lookbookers. The tank top of his is so unique and definitely a must have. What I like about this guy is that he is not a snob, he actually accepted me as a friend in fb besides his achievements in fashion industry, he is definite making a name.
So what do you think guys?
Tell me your thoughts!
'till some other time.
Love & Peace!

I have been a busy bee lately,
flitting from one project to the next
and then back again.
So here's a quick roundup of where things are
at the moment.
My flowering snowball is quilted,
and the binding is attached
and glue-basted to the back.
It's exactly what I envisioned it to be.
Part of me wants to sell it;
I haven't given a sewing machine since last August.
But part of me want to keep it,
because really -
it is perfection in a quilt.
My Sleeping Porch Series
is nearing completion.
Quilt #1 is only lacking 56 inches of hand quilting
(so - 1 episode of Hawaii 5-0, plus another 10 minutes)
which I thought was going to be the quickest
and easiest of the sisters,
has turned out to be a smidge more challenging than anticipated,
and still requires probably 4-5 more hours of work.
(but I am in love with the quilting - a first for me, I believe)
#3 has been made mostly in the margins;
I'd make 2 blocks here,
and 4 blocks there
and one day, I had no more blocks to make.
I spent most of Saturday working on it,
first filling in all of the extra spots,
sewing it all together until I had a top.
Which I immediately basted to the batting,
then added a few lines of ditch stitching with invisible thread.
After that, I spent some time with youtube,
learning how to quilt swirls.
while I was cooking dinner,
I practiced my quilting on the fridge using a dry erase marker.
When I felt reasonably comfortable with that,
after dinner
I practiced my swirls on a little sandwich
made of lawn scraps (from the backing of my flowering snowballs)
warm and white batting
and a square of leftover sheet.
Once I'd covered my practice sandwich with swirls
- twice -
I moved on to the real thing.
I'm not thrilled with the quilting,
but it's plenty passable,
and most of the wobbles will disappear in the wash.
All that's left,
is to trim and bind it.
We will (finally) be giving Jordan her quilt
this weekend,
so photographing it has moved
to the top of the priority list.
I've been mulling over it for months,
I still don't know where I want to take the pictures...
I still have my huge test block to turn into something usable,
and I am at the very beginning stages
of a new commission project
which I am very excited about.
And of course,
I remain neck deep
in a major house-building project.

i have made a tape, of an invinceable grunt, where i push him from uncomfortable silence to the switch at buyer beware. it's all posted on hbo. still don't know why he was unkillable though, and have yet to repeat it. the only thing i remember doing differantly, i pushed all the purple barrels off into the void, and didn't kill any flying lil thingies.
managed to close the brown door to the rest of the level after the switch, but am trapped at the switch, because now i can't go any further.
not a trik as such, but a fun stunty, and if you push the grunty to the switch center, he fits purfect when it rises from the floor.
sooo, i will check the tape, and letcha know how he got invinceable.
if this is old, flame away. if not, i'll post a pic of him at the switch, with mr. jackle
(Happy Thanksgiving, and Duke, check ur e-mail

Because of the success of vaccines in preventing disease parents are often unaware that their children are at risk for so many serious and life-threatening vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccines are successful, safe, and cost-effective tools for preventing disease. They not only help protect individuals, but also help protect entire communities by preventing and reducing the spread of infectious disease. Free immunization clinics for children from infancy up to age 19 will be held at Essex County Public Health. The dates are Monday, April 21, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Tuesday, April 22, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Thursday, April 24, 12:30-3:30 p.m. For further information and to schedule an appointment for immunization, call 873-3500.

Sunday is here and I find myself running on empty. Daddy has been away since Monday morning, so I have been flying solo with both kids for the longest time yet in the last 5 months. I tried very hard to make it through this week with my sanity but it wasn't always easy.
I thought I'd share some confessions from this week.
1. I drank an absurd amount of coffee. Not even to be a high performing supermom. Literally mass amounts simply to function & not pass out when I sat down for a minute. It only sort of worked. I got the bare minimum done most days, frequently leaving the house a disaster to sneak a celebratory "we're still alive for the day" cookie before heading to bed to watch Netflix.
2. I used food to entertain Greyson a couple of times. Like put the container of strawberries on the counter because I knew he'd eat them & let me have a few minutes to wash dishes or get Olivia's bottles ready for the morning.
3. We played with Snapchat - a lot! Greyson is obsessed with the "dog one" so we would take pictures & make silly faces. And then send the creepy ones to daddy to let him know we miss him (he is lame & doesn't have Snapchat).
4. I let the kids sleep in our bed. Olivia basically slept with me every night, which isn't all that different from a normal night since she is still in our room. But at least twice, Greyson woke up to go potty & instead of putting forth the effort to get him back to sleep in his own bed, I got him to crawl into our bed to cuddle.
5. Dinner was almost non-existent. Greyson barely eats any night & I was so exhausted with no motivation to cook. So dinner consisted of lots of toast, quesadillas, chicken fries, and Mac & Cheese. #noshame
6. We are crazy excited for daddy to be home tonight! We are anxiously counting down the hours and minutes until we can get him from the airport. We went to Target & it totally felt so late - I was less than thrilled to realize it was only 2 PM!
There ya have it! My shameless confessions of how I managed to keep the kids alive and the house [mostly] in order!
Now if you need us, we will be over here bouncing with excitement awaiting daddy's plane!

I'm creating a form in InfoPath 2010 to be filled out in the browser within our SharePoint 2010 instance. It's pretty simple, four columns with total table width of about 650 pixels, textboxes, checkboxes, datepicker and one multiselect list box. The
form is working fine up to the point where I invoke a data connection which emails the form to myself. When it arrives in my inbox, the format of the form included in the body of the email is funky. When I open the email and set it to a full screen viewing
window (1440X900) the area that takes up the form exceeds the width of my viewing window and requires scroll bars to see all the fields on the form.
When printing the form from my email the area is so large that no data will show up in the printable area (it appears to be centered on the form and it is cutting off the "extra content" to the left and right which contains the form data as the user entered
it). I'm using Outlook 2007. I also forwarded the email to a person who's using Outlook 2010 and they experienced the same problems as myself.
Things I've tried to fix it: Setting each column width, setting each control width to a pixel length (instead of using %). I added some code behind to switch the view to a two column view with a table width of 400px before it sends out the email. It's closer
to being at a state where it's

Using SharePoint 2010 and Infopath web browser admin approved forms. I have a big form that will take serveral edits over time via collaboration between two users prior to submission. I use two form libraries say WIP for work in progress and Submitted for
submitted forms. There are different access permissions to the two libraries.
When a user submits a form from the WIP library to the Submitted library I want to set a flag on the WIP form to say submitted=Yes so that if they go back into the original WIP form they cannot submit a second time with the same form. I use this flag field
to set a read only view of the form.
The trouble is that when I set the flag before triggering the submit then the flag is set but the current form is not saved before it is submitted as a new form to the submitted library so the flag never gets set on the current form!
Ideally I want to force a save to the WIP form immediately prior to a submission but after I set the flag field value. I am having difficulty in finding out how to do this - any suggestions? I realise that submit is a form of save but I want to simply save
the current form as part of the submit action. What is happening is that the form is submitted to the other library but THIS form is not saved. I cannot depend on the user to save using the Save button.
I created a browser enabled form with InfoPath 2010. I then published the form by selecting the option "Publish form to a SharePoint library" and then selected "Form library" and finally selected "Create a new form library".
As a result, a new form library was created.When I click on "add document", the browser opens a new form, which I can fill and save successfully. However, after the form is saved, whenever I click on the form name in the form library to edit it,
the browser "opens with" dialog box opens, asking for an XML editor software. In other words, the form does not open in browser for editing even on systems that do not have InfoPath installed.
The form is browser compatible and the form library is configured to open browser-enabled forms in browser. The issue is that the form hyperlink is directly pointing to form XML file rather than pointing to InfoPath form services URL.
I would really appreciate, if someone tells me how I can edit the form in browser.
I've create a workflow project with infopath in it. And I get the error
"Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Unable to locate the workflow's association data. To restore
the association data to the workflow, restart the workflow settings wizard by selecting the workflow node in Solution Explorer and then clicking the ellipsis button (…) on one of the properties in the Properties window that has an ellipsis button."
I'd really appreciate of any help.
I have developed InfoPath 2010 web form with People Picker Control. I want to set sharepoint group which would be used in People Picker Control to search people. Ok, I set sharpoint site url and aftet that - select sharepoint group 'Test InfoPath
group' I need. Everything works fine - I can select only people inside sharepoint group 'Test InfoPath group'.
Now I deploy my solutions (wsp package) on different site collection and sharepoint server installations. In this case People Picker Control can't find right sharepoint group 'Test InfoPath group'. Sometimes People Picker Control select another
group, not that I have select in InfoPath Designer and sometimes People Picker Control select all users.
What's wrong with it and can I configure People Picker Control to select sharepoint group?
I found an issue when testing existing InfoPath 2007 forms via the Infopath 2010 Designer client. Integer fields in the form template are publishing to a SharePoint Forms Library and show in the default view. However, if that library is then
used as a Data Connection in another or same form template those integer fields are not displaying or available for selection.
This is not a problem using the InfoPath 2007 client. It is not an option to convert the field to text as it could affect existing forms in existing libraries. Also, existing integer fields are no longer appearing in previously defined SharePoint-based
secondary data connections. Only the ID field still appears. But, those existing fields still work in the form and are selectable for functions, etc.
Is there a solution to this?
Thanks much! Mike - www.ProgramNetInc.com
I have built an InfoPath Filler form that I deployed to a SharePoint 2010 Form Library. While deploying, I checked that the form could be opened up using a web browser. I receive a warning that
the form template has been published to the server but if can only be opened in InfoPath Filler.
This is a problem, because it was decided that the form would be required to be opened using the browser. I made changes to the form so that it abided by the rules which allow it to be opened using a broswer (There were no design checker warnings or
This is the second form that had this problem. To fix it the first time, I simply created a new form that was not a filler form. Now that it has happened again, I wonder if there is a way to convert the filler form to a web browser form to save
development time.
Can this be done? Any other suggestions?
Many thanks.

2017 Spring Symposium
John Shabaker, BP Group Research, Naperville, IL
Abstract — Primary energy demand has grown tremendously over the past century, and despite the recent economic downturn, it is predicted to increase another 37% over the period from 2013–20351. Driven by global population growth and rising standards of living, this rapid increase in demand has driven innovation in the development of new energy supplies and highlighted environmental impacts of energy production & consumption. In this seminar, we will explore how these broad changes have in turn affected the transportation fuels sector, greatly influencing the price and availability of feedstocks, as well as the desired mix and quality of products. We will focus on the technological challenges arising for today's transport fuels industry, and provide commentary on the role of catalysis research to help address them.

I was complaining just 3 days ago that there was no snow. Mike was helping me round up the birds to put in the barn one evening, and while he was up in the corner field, jumped on our riding mower and actually mowed a strip or two of meadow..."just to see how it mowed". When he had come back down and parked the mower I looked at him...incredulous...and said "You know..there is something VERY WRONG about mowing the lawn on December 4th in northern Vermont.". He didn't get where I was coming from.
By December we usually have at least a dusting of snow and the temps are almost always in the 20's and 30's during the day. Not this year. In fact, on the day of the "Mowing Incident", I had all of the windows open and was outside barefoot and in short sleeves. Yes...I'm serious. I wouldn't lie about something like that....There are even fruit trees along my driveway that have new buds on them. In DECEMBER. *shakes head* Its just too weird.
Well...APPARENTLY the snow Gods heard me....and took pity on me....A LOT of pity...because now, we've gone from 65 degrees, sunshiny days to 20 degrees and, Hey...do you think you're EVER GOING TO STOP SNOWING?!?!?!? My Christmas decorations look much better backed by snow...and I'm feeling much more "in the mood"....get your head out of the gutter...I meant In the mood to SHOP...ya bunch of guttersnipes....But I'd like to be able to get down off this hill occasionally. The road we live on is the very last to get touched by the state, it also offers a long, windy road with northern exposure...and...its in a salt free zone. SOooooo...if this keeps up...I doubt we'll see pavement on that road until spring. I might have to resort to riding a sheep into town.
Ada-Mae enjoying the snow.

Awww...Look at how much the guineas like the snow...hehehehehe

Animated Movie: Akira
First Anime I saw.
It's a good movie although seeing it at like 6 years old would be a bit trippy.

Honestly, I really dont see why it has so much hype. Its just pretty confusing. The plots not great, the characters arent great, the animation isnt great (yes I know its old). I just dont really understand its cult status beyond its pretty old and alot of people saw it a long time ago
That shos that you simply did not undestand it. No offense buddy but this is a masterpiece.
I myself are sick of this kind of animation style since i watched it for over a decade but this is nothing but a masterpeace in every way u want to look at it and not only because it was the first OVA anime wich had a remarcable impact in the western world.
Then explain why its a masterpiece
First of all it's naturally a matter of taste. That's an undeniable fact. But what whakes it to what it is for me are the characters, the story and the animation. For it's time the animation was compared to today like Avatar or something. The characters were mostly well written and u were able to understand them. The story itself, again a matter of taste, was really good. U could follow it through the entire anime without anything missing, to much or misplaced. That's why i claim it as a masterpiece and most important as a milestone for anime.
I have the remastered DVD.. well one of the versions anyway. Just my luck a Blu-Ray was released and I didn't know it. Regardless, glad I have it. Same goes for 5 Centimeters Per Second, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Rebuild of Evangelion, and countless others.
[No information available]
nope sadly
Finally online...after a year?
I got the steelbox 30th anniversary version xD
Akira exists.. everything that we see now simply follows it.
I love it and it still blows me away today. More so than any other anime to date!
Fourtinately, I got a chance to watch the film at an older age sometime in 2009 or 2010. While I may not be as enthusiastic as most are about the film (e.g. Claiming its the best anime film of all eternity in the entire universe), the animation is very well done and manages to break away from the stereotyped "flappy mouth" movement the majority of anime have (not that I'm saying it's a bad thing). I also enjoy the story, although I find myself falling in love with the manga's story more. That and Katsuhiro Otomo's ability to add detail to objects and buildings.
I'll have to rematch the film in the future, preferably once I finish reading the manga (currently on volume 5).
"TETSUOOOOOO!!!!" Was what I remember the most from my young self.
Saw a bootleg copy of the movie in the 90s in Japanese (without subtitles). I understood pretty much of what was going on thru the narative of the action.
Though it wasn't till I watched it a second time (with English dub) that I realized Kei was a girl. You gotta admit she was kinda mannish in her looks and the way she dressed.
And somebody please tell me that Kristen Stewart has turned down the role as Kei. If she's in the live action version I'm not gonna see it.
Hard at work on my Manga - I will be your little sister!
for it's time the movie was amazing, but now it's still a good movie but has lost a lot of it's impact, i still like and respect it though, but the manga is still much better
This movie is a masterpiece that is on the level of Citizen Kane. Anyone who says otherwise has no knowledge of film or is one of the infected who considers the current anime trends of moe, lolita, incest to be a good thing.

I have two versions on VHS and the DVD release lol... such an awesome film for its time. The motorcycle lights are sweet
I'm watching a dream I'll never wake up from.. - Spike Spiegel
Still have it on my DVD shelf next to 2001 A Space Odyssey.
I watched this when I was 8. Yeah, loving parents I had.I'm still glad though its was pretty good even though I became deathly afraid of Teddy Bears . Hopefully someone else remembers the Teddy Bear scene

From the Delancey Place site: Today's selection -- from Word by Word by Kory Stamper. The smaller the word, the harder it is to define. The author, an editor of dictionaries, describes the difficulty involved in defining short words:
"We were working on revising the Collegiate [Dictionary] for its eleventh edition, and we had just finished the letter S. ... I signed out the next batch in T and grabbed the galleys for that batch along with the boxes -- two boxes! -- of citations for the batch. While flipping through the galley pages, I realized that my batch -- the entire thing -- was just one word: 'take.' Hmm, I thought, that's curious. Lexicography, like most professions, offers its devotees some benchmarks by which you can measure your sad little existence, and one is the size of the words you are allowed to handle.
"Most people assume that long words or rare words are the hardest to define because they are often the hardest to spell, say, and remember. The truth is, those are usually a snap. 'Schadenfreude' may be difficult to spell, but it's a cinch to define, because all the uses of it are very, very semantically and syntactically clear. It's always a noun, and it's often glossed because even though it's now an English word, it's one of those delectable German compounds we love to slurp into English.
"Generally speaking, and as mentioned earlier, the smaller and more commonly used the word is, the more difficult it is to define. Words like 'but,' 'as,' and 'for' have plenty of uses that are syntactically similar but not identical. Verbs like 'go' and 'do' and 'make' (and, yes, 'take') don't just have semantically oozy uses that require careful definition, but semantically drippy uses as well. 'Let's do dinner' and 'let's do laundry' are identical syntactically but feature very different semantic meanings of 'do.' And how do you describe what the word 'how' is doing in this sentence?
"It's not just semantic fiddliness that causes lexicographical pain. Some words, like 'the' and 'a,' are so small that we barely think of them as words. Most of the publicly available databases that we use for citational spackling don't even index some of these words, let alone let you search for them -- for entirely practical reasons. A search for 'the' in our in-house citation database returns over one million hits, which sends the lexicographer into fits of audible swearing, then weeping.
"To keep the lexicographers from crying and disturbing the people around them, sometimes these small words are pulled from the regular batches and are given to more senior editors for handling. They require the balance of concision, grammatical prowess, speed, and fortitude usually found in wiser and more experienced editors.
I didn't know any of that at the time, of course, because I was not a wise or more experienced editor. I was hapless and dumb, but dutifully so: grabbing a fistful of index cards from one of the two boxes, I began sorting the cards into piles by part of speech. This is the first job you must do as a lexicographer dealing with paper, because those citations aren't sorted for you. I figured that 'take' wasn't going to be too terrible in this respect: there's just a verb and a noun to contend with. When those piles were two and a half inches high and began cascading onto my desk, I decided to dump the rest of the citations into my pencil drawer and stack my citations in the now-empty boxes.
"Sorting citations by their part of speech is usually simple. Most words entered in the dictionary only have one part of speech, and if they have more than one, the parts of speech are usually easy to distinguish between -- the noun 'blemish' and the verb 'blemish,' for example, or the noun 'courtesy' and the adjective 'courtesy.' By the time you've hit T on a major dictionary overhaul like a new edition of the Collegiate, you can sort citations by part of speech in your sleep. For a normal-sized word like 'blemish,' it's a matter of minutes.
"Five hours in, I had finished sorting the first box of citations for 'take'"

Interesting. However, can't you just define "an" or "a" as an article?
I think the hardest words to define are those that are specific concepts or feelings.
"A" has a lot of uses. It means "one":
A student raised their hand.
It is used as a general reference:
A lion is a dangerous animal.
It is used with the first mention of something:
Would you like a drink?
It is used with jobs:
I am an archaeologist.
Using "a" and "the" correctly can be a challenge for ESL students.
And to native speakers of American English. While off the point of the above quoted material, My observation is that many ESL students strive for proper grammar despite its quirkiness, whereas many natives don't care.
When I wrote "correctly" I should have written "according to standard English". Geoff, surely you are not suggesting that native speakers don't know how to use "a" and "the".
Many use "a" when"an" is appropriate, as in, "Give me a orange."
But you know what I'm going to say, right? There are many dialects and registers of English, and even within standard English there is a lot of variation. I don't know the history of "a" before vowels to know if it is a mistake or a dialect feature. But considering the intricacies of using "a" and "the", remembering to use "an" before vowels is the least of an ESL student's worries.
You say that many native speakers don't care about proper grammar - maybe, but so what? Proper grammar is nothing more than a random assortment of ipse dixit prescriptions (at least that's what it means to me). I don't think ESL students have much use for proper grammar either.
I haven't heard native English speakers misusing "a" or "the." Perhaps linguists think "a" and "the" are complicated, but generally I think English speakers understand their use.
We do inhabit different worlds, Kalleh. I sometimes hear people hereabout using an implied article. As goofy said, it may not be misuse if all understand. It's normal in some languages, such as Russian.
"A" and "the" are complicated, AND native speakers understand their use. And a good dictionary should describe their use.
Language rules are very complicated but most native speakers never have to think consciously about them.
Agree, goofy.
A little off-subject, but related to the concept that usually people understand what is meant by the context. There has been a big brouhaha about the word the nursing exam uses to describe the "patient." While we mostly use "patient" in real life (nursing homes often use "resident"), the nursing exam uses "client." Many are requesting that be changed, thinking it's confusing, etc. Someone outside of nursing made an excellent comment about that today: "I don't know what all the hullabaloo is about. Surely from the context of the question, the student knows who they are talking about." Amen!
I think I've mentioned this elsewhere, but it fits in with this thread, and also with Kalleh's post above.
Yet another UK/US difference: over here we would say that someone is "in hospital" if they are a patient, whereas we'd say "in the hospital" to describe their location - they might be working, visiting or whatever. I believe Americans would say "in the hospital" in both cases.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
When a Frenchman is all wet, does one say he's inSeine?
We do arnie. I did not know the English ever said, "in the hospital."
That's a feature of AAVE.
