    красивейшая Masrina, How could you possibly post a video while the 49er football gane is televised? Don’t you enjoy Americn football? Luckily, the commercial breaks are so long, I can catch up with your video and post a reply. For your homework, there usually is a Jacuzzi or similar water device at most hotels I use. I don’t go into publicly used swimming pools or jacuzzi baths anymore. I got a skin infection, once. I like to see you in your swimming suits, though! :-) Your многодельная student, seesixcm6

    ‘course, that’s one excuse…the other is i couldn’t afford one tile, let alone the whole jacuzzi… :oops:

    HotForWords,

    Not doubting your research but, I’m not sure “Jacuzzi” has it’s origin in baths. :???: :idea: :shock:

    Jacuzzi is a company name.
    I believe they made first water jet pumps.
    They were used in shallow draft jet boats in Vietnam circa “Apocalypse Now”. :?: :?: :idea:

    I think it’s more in line with jet boats and wave runners than hot tub baths. :idea:

    Hope you won’t need the karate skills when we ace your trip to Las Vegas. :razz: :razz:
    #32 is supposed to go on trial there soon and he has a thing for lovely blonds. (Look out he has a ………..) :evil:
    Maybe some karate attack dog training for Kobe :grin: :grin:

  • http://www.google.com/ Capman911

    The name was shortened toTaumata. I don’t know how to pronounce the original name. If you want more info go here. Maybe Marina will post that word for you. :smile:

    Marina,

    And as for your picture at time 0:16.
    I’ll still pass. :sad: :sad: (Summer’s almost over)
    I can wait a few more months. :razz: :razz:

  • seesixcm6

    Yes, we’re watching football on TV! That’s why I mis-spelled Marina’s name, too! I guess things might be like this every Sunday until after the Superbowl! I’d still like to see Marina in her bikini bathing suit, or if we go to a private Jacuzzi, she wouldn’t need a bathing suit at all! :grin: seesixcm6

  • http://emmy-de-zelaware.com lividemerald

    A Jacuzzi is just a Jucuzzi until Marina slips in. Then it becomes a HOT TUB.

  • maxmuller

    Hey yo!!

    Thanks for the Wiki Help…. already had a research done b4 posting :idea: … i want to hear some one pronouncing the (long) word.

  • http://www.google.com/ Capman911

    If you find them then let me know. That’s a heck of a name for a hill. Maybe you can get Marina to pronounce it for you. Good Luck :wink:

  • maxmuller

    the origin of the word “ISSUE” please.!!!

    “Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu”

    Hey Wetsuit as far as I can tell the Jucuzzi company has been around since 1915.
    Company History:
    A wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Industries, Jacuzzi Inc. is the originator and world’s largest manufacturer of whirlpool baths, with which its name has become synonymous. Jacuzzi was founded in 1915 and remained a family owned and operated company until 1979 when it was bought by Kidde Inc.

    Excellent observation :grin:

  • prospero811

    Of course, they’re popular! Like the celebrity hot tub party! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdjv5ZwQcdQ

    You say Taumata, I say… (Please, don’t “whak” me!)

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    wetsuit5, Jacuzzi made items for airplanes.. and I think they made the first small sized airplane for transporting mail.. or something like that.. then the head of the company made a whirlpool bath for his son who had Rheumatoid arthritis.. which is how the first Jacuzzi bath was made.. and the rest is history. I gave you the origin of the word Jacuzzi to describe hot tubs.. as most people don’t realize it is a brand name.

  • http://emmy-de-zelaware.com lividemerald

    Just check out the Wikipedia article on Jacuzzi. It corroborates what Marina is saying.

  • BillyB

    If you are alone for an extended period of time… may be because you need to take a shower.

    Hi, My name BJ or John if you will. I would like to know how did the phase (Bling, Bling) come about, and where did it originate from?

    Thanks

  • orion_ss1

    Jacuzzi is a trademarked name, but like Xerox, it has come into common use for any brand ( by the public ).

    When using a public spa of any brand please be certain it is well maintained. By this I mean the water itself more than the also important mechanical parts. Spas should be checked at least every 2 hours for adequate Bromine ( more stable than Chlorine in the warmer water ) and pH levels. Untreated spas have been linked to outbreaks of Legionaires Disease. If the water is even a little green stay out. Trust me.

  • november432

    Hello Marina :grin:

    NOTE:Thanx for sharing with us the site where you buy books

    along with kleenex, polaroid, band-aid, q-tip, post-it, scotch tape, styrofoam, and, most recently, i-pod – all are brand names that have become commonly used…

    good point on the health issue…for sure… :cool:

    Your camera might be bruised and needing a nice warm jacuzzi after that kick. No no!,don’t do it!,I was just kidding!

    I work in new houses often but haven’t seen one with,or designed for, a jacuzzi lately,prolly been a few years.Older houses can be retrofitted so this info is no “tell all”.

    Jacuzzi’s seem to be popular items in the new housing market in the area where I live. I dont own one and have only used a jacuzzi hottub maybe once or twice in my time. I do however have a jacuzzi water well pump in my water well. This pump is supposedly is manfactured by the Jacuzzi company.

  • idmmbn

    Hi there Marina,
    ..
    I wanna ask for a word,

    so surprised it hasn’t been cheekily asked for yet……

    and it is…..

    callipygian…..

    yup, pretty much, and no, it’s not steatopygia or dasypygal either…..

    just “callipygian”

    thanks so much :>)

  • BillyB

    Just now watched the jaccuzzi vid. I tried to join in your vigil, but failed, While I was away, remembered who the tiger picture reminded me of…all exotic & smokey eyed, with a vulnerablity, betraying her power & grace, in a hostile environment, Sade, my favorite song of hers.

  • BillyB

    Don’t mean to make a perfect ass of myself, butt it has been requested. just not been seen around here in awhile… the request, that is.

    Oh yeah. Jacuzzi’s rock! Especially when you have a beautiful Russian blonde with you. I won’t tell anyone Marina – I promise it will be between you an me and no further……Oh. I just told everyone on your web site. Well, I still stand by my offer!
    Send me an email and we’ll hook up! Did I mention that I’m Italian? I HAVE TO TRY, DAMN!

  • wingnutter

    We put in a hot tub this year. I just got out, came to the computer, and here you are talking about Jacuzzis!

    It felt good as we had been working around the house all day.

  • danalvyzep4126

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/smokey36bear smokey36bear

    Yes they are, but here people call them hot tubs. Which is weird, because a hot tub is just a tub of hot water with no jets or bubbles.

    we’re getting a hot and a large porch added on to my house. hell yeah they’re popular. especially up here in massachusetts.

    You already know that, I bet – heh heh! :twisted:

    Hi Marina,

    The Jacuzzi has been very popular here above the 49th parallel for a long time. Swimming pools much less popular… too much… maintenance and heating costs.

    One time I walked around the corner to find a married friend in the Jacuzzi with a girl with big boobs – no top on. (lucky guy LOL) I really shocked them and she was about to get up. My mind was instantly racing for a response. What to do – what to do??? I motioned with my hands for her not to get up… (although I was interested in seeing more)… I did a pirouette and said I sorry I must have the wrong address!! and left. Oh boy!

    Bonezilla,

    Interesting question! I was imagining a hut with walls made of
    hulled-out sugar cane, or a house made of rock-candy.

    Instead, all I could find was reference to the Sheena Easton 1984 song “sugar walls,” which was, according to the Urban dictionary: a complimentary term for a kickin vagina

    Wikipedia agrees, adding only vaginal walls

    Here’s the link to the video if you want to see it:

    Hot tubs are seen in HOT HOT places like TX, but only during the spring or colder months–it’s fun to get that contrast when it’s in the 50s outside!!

    look. if mac was so great and pcs were so inferior or whatever, everyone would be using a mac. but the majority doesn’t. must be a reason for that.
    you’ll always hear something like, “i bought a mac because i don’t get any viruses / malware.” but actually it’s rather, “i bought a mac because i don’t know how to protect my computer.”
    there are macs that come with xp, i think. but, if you use xp on a mac — why did you buy a mac then?
    you can do everything you do on a mac on a pc, too.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/jamesingtonthethird James

    Thanks alx :mrgreen: . I don’t think sales has anything to do with one company being inferior/superior. Someone has to do better than the other. I also think it is because mac is quite expensive and you can only get mac on an apple computer, whereas Windows don’t make their own computers.. Others do.. like HP Packard Bell etc, so there is much more chance of sales, apple limits them exclusively to themselves :neutral: . I wish it was as simple as being able to do all I could on a pc.. But lately when I have made videos things look good then I publish it and it freezes midway, Windows can be VERY VERY irritating. I used to be a sworn windows lover.. Didn’t like mac at all but now.. I think out of wanting to try something different.. and desperation. i am buying one.

    besides, what does not making their own computers have to do with anything? you don’t buy an operating system without a computer, do you? a person wants a computer. goes into a store. there are macs, there are pcs. you decide. most people in that situation get a pc. why? well, think about it.

    If i might butt in and make a suggestion …

    … what’s most important is your style, content, and presentation .. the technology is secondary, it’s only there as your platform … however, being of the male gender, you’re likely to be seduced by technology – so beware – go spartan with technology.

    I would suggest get the software with the very minimal range of capabilities .. i.e. only sufficient to do the bare essentials .. do you can concentrate on what really matters .. ie. your presence, material, etc etc.

    calling all buzzword, calling all buzzword … re the essential oils stuff: :)

    after a long period of occasional doodling around looking for essential oil info that wasn’t mere new age fluff …
    … i found a site called: “Safe Alternative Medicine” which actually has genuinely useful info:

    [Aromatherapy - index]

    including …

    [The Basics of Aromatherapy] (background)

    [How to Blend Essential Oils]
    that sound awfully complicated .. i just drip the oils straight from the little bottles into the oil burner.

    [Top Ten Essential Oils]

    there seems to be two different methods of hoick the oils into the air.
    I’m only familiar with the crude dish-of-heated-water method (vaporiser or burner).
    The other fancy method appears to be termed “diffuser” (by means i havent checked).

    this is the kind of thing i …
    [White Ceramic Oil Burner]
    which is basically a dish (to hold the water to which to add drops of oil) on a stand with a nightlight candle in it.

    alternatively, if you’re lush with cash …
    this is an extortionate [Ultrasonic Misting Diffuser]

    There seems to be an unfortunate habit of essential oils sites focussing on malaise rather than enhancement, so you have to do some extrapolating and testing {shrug}.

    When you add up the cost of your productivity going to zero while you remove the adware and viruses from your computer because your cousin used your computer for 5 minutes and clicked OK when the popup said (click here to view cute flash card) .. then the Mac is a bargain! (I’m just playing with you aLx :-) )

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n2NXuQ5ako mijj

    i think if you take the situation purely on it’s own terms (i.e. what you do isn’t for a resume)

    assuming that sw available on both machines is equally lucid (because this would be the priority – rather than the machine)

    .. then the Mac/PC thing is entirely irrelevant. I think there’s a historical preference for Mac because in the past it specialized in video (and printing). … the days are gone when there was a technological benefit to using one or the other.

    Plus .. current macs and pcs have oodles of processing power for the normal human being producing vids with fancy effects.

    ie. on technological terms .. don’t matter one bit.

    The real differences are in marketing.
    coolness and elitism of the mac v. the everyman pc.

    The good ole days are gone. There is nothing like that to show the younger generation how we grew up and what we played with. I mean in the dirt. Trucks and little cars, soap box cars. make go carts out of wood frames and push each other. Take three old bikes and make one. Carve out boats to play in a mud puddle. Climb trees and make a tree house, man I am getting old. I don’t feel it yet. I still like to play. But now the bigger the boys the bigger the toys.

    Are Jacuzzis still popular? Are you kidding me? :shock: Oh boy! I used to go over my bosses house and sit in his Jacuzzi (he had a true Jacuzzi brand) for an hour or two. There would be like 6 people in the darn thing. We would talk shop like flying model R/C airplanes and racing R/C cars. The girls would talk about… well whatever they talk about. It can’t be of anything of importance. :roll: :mrgreen: That’s all on week days. Weekend was a different story. We would have so many people show up we would have to take turns in Jacuzzi. :roll: Rarely there would be a time no one was in it. One of my favorite things to do in a Jacuzzi is sit in the thing during a snow storm. :shock: Nice and warm and try to catch snow flakes on your tough. Sounds a bit crazy but its really fun. Another fun thing to do is try breathing under water. Sure you can use the aerators bubbles, but I found a more intimate method that’s fun to do with your Jacuzzi buddy. Oh yea, you have to have a Jacuzzi buddy. You never know you might need mouth to mouth resuscitation from drowning in the Jacuzzi. :shock: Speaking of Jacuzzi buddies, Marina I think you should have one. You never know you might just stop swimming unexpectedly and risk drowning. :mrgreen: Since we are on the subject, my first aid & CPR certification is about to expire and I need to brush up on mouth to mouth resuscitation. Can you help me out? :mrgreen:

    p.s. Young Grasshopper, Your Kung Fu is getting better! :mrgreen: Just be careful. I broke my own nose once. :shock: Ok laugh all you want. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: Oh there goes my pride, now shriveling up into a little ball the size of a mustard seed. :cry:

    hmmm .. according to Yahoo babelfish…

    “J’accuse y” translates as “I show there”.

    so a “J’accuse y” is probably the French expression for a TV or something.

    Hey Marina!
    When you say “by the way”, does the way refer to the way as in “way better” or the way as in “railway”?
    Love, Maxim ;)

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n2NXuQ5ako mijj

    actually .. i was thinking earlier .. if i wanted to upload music it’d help with sound quality if i could keep the image part of the bandwidth down, so a simple animation would be the best thing to do.

    Adobe Flash does that kind of thing real easily.

    .. cetp, of course :oops: it isn’t going to be as easy as pointing a camera and recording.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n2NXuQ5ako mijj

    oh .. you’d have to find the synch points from the audio for the animation too ..

    .. hmmmm

    yeh .. actually … there could be two modes for the characters face .. Talk, NoTalk.

    The Talk part could have the lowerpart of the face animated according to a script.

    If the animations in the Silly Canadian South Park style, then getting sync doesnt matter all that much.

    BJ?!….. For moment there, I thought you were implying something else to Marina. :mrgreen:

    That was bad. I didn’t cross the line, did I? Because I was just joking around. I have a bit of a bold, dark sense of humor. Sorry, if I caused any offense.

  • animalntaz

    I think that is a company name that makes tissues.

  • animalntaz

    I don’t know why, but there is just something sexual about that word. COCKTAIL. :mrgreen:
    Maybe it is named that because it sometimes comes after the drinking. Guys going out and grabbing some TAIL with their huge… :wink:

  • animalntaz

    Did she just show that guy who took a bath in a Burger King sink, that made its way all over the internet and then the news? I thought that what that guy did was kinda stupid.

    Marina, I hear so many people say “Ja coo zy” including you.

    yeah, i got it.

  • buzzword

    i’ve probably mentioned this before but i’ve worked with the somali population. thought i’d recommend some music. check out k’naan he’s good. his song what’s hard core challenges the practice of valuing violence to establish street cred, what is the price of establishing violence as a commodity, the collapse of a culture?. anyway, the somali culture has a rich oral tradition, they did not have a written language until the 70′s, most people could speak at least three languages. from their shores they have witnessed the ebbing and flowing of the worlds most powerful cultures since the time of the egyptians.

    No, geronimo. None of that. But in math centers, we throw dice! :cool:

  • animalntaz

    I was just joking around with that last post, but I took some time to think about it as its reference to time. Maybe it is some kind of rooster (cock) reference. When a COCK first notices the sunrise, its TAIL faces west where the sunsets, which is when people normally start drinking. I don’t know, it seems like a plausible guess. :idea:

  • animalntaz

    BOOM CHECKA WA-WOW!!! :grin:

  • namath12

    I think your first answer is closest, seriously, but I really have no idea.
    I though it would be an interesting word for Marina to research but
    i guess not. It would be great if she did….. Your second one is very intelligent and thoughtfull….

    Hello Capman911,
    This show brought to mind an episode of “Home Improvement”.
    Tim was adjusting the speed on his hot tub jets when his wife walked in and asked what he was doing to the tub. He said he was adjusting the speed of the jets to three speeds; low, medium and- who needs a man.

    no more breaks for me — i think i can handle the intoxication of M’s presence now i’ve realised if my brain sizzles, then i can skip the video. :) (she’s so good in those i could practically taste her.) .. though that means i’d probably lose marks if we’re examined. :(

    not keen on the parade of bathing beauties – cattle market.

    … the tech presenter girl is nice … :)
    … if she could be in command and take lessons from M on charisma, she’d be a beaut. … and then after that, she may be ready to loosen a few of the buttons. :)

    Now, why is it that seeing anyone attractive conjures up a comparison with M?

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n2NXuQ5ako mijj
