    Almost forgot how much I loved watching this video… :smile:

    2:28 there’s a clue that the cameraman is Marina’s secret lover! :grin:

    (Oops! I forgot…we’re here to discuss etymology, not to gossip!) :oops:

  2. haydzoo says:

    can you tell me the origin of the word dumb?

    • Neuroway says:

      Some WWW links say it goes back to a a nasalized version of prehistoric Indo-European *dheubh-, denoting ‘confusion, stupefaction, or dizziness’, which was also the ultimate source of English deaf. Dumb, useless stuff maybe?

  3. senior says:

    Marina

    I just returned from 8 days in the Hawaiian islands to find that you must have been there too based on the lessons I missed while I was away. I spent all my time on the small island of Lanai which I recommend if you seek true peace, beauty and relaxation. I can see that you were on Oahu based on the one shot of Diamond Head. Hope you enjoyed yourself.

    Is there any way to *win* a calendar? Grand Prize meet Marina?

  5. fatbuffalo says:

    Is she wearing those strange swimsuits for us to see ?

  6. mijj says:

    this is for Marina .. [canned heat - on the road again]

    … well … M should ignore the bit about having no woman to call her special friend. .. and the bit about having no place to go .. and her mother leaving her when she was quite young ..

    … apart from that .. it’s sorta about travelling .. isn’t it?

  7. pedantickarl says:

    Hi Marina, a Huffington Post article mentioned your name in passing.

    Do a page find by using CTRL-F, then enter, hotfor to locate the paragraph. (I’ts three paragraphs below the video that is in the middle)


    Over the entire campaign, Obama’s channel also drew 116,000 subscribers, a huge base for driving viral hits. During the election homestretch, in fact, Obama had the second most viewed channel on all of YouTube, besting video juggernauts like BritneyTV and the sexy HotForWords channel.

    Marina ,you are very beautiful of on your ”My Calendar”..
    Wonderful your pictures!

  9. rosiecheeks says:

    And captain jack if there’s anyone you should ban, it’s cha cha. He’s a disease.

  10. mijj says:

    nooooooooooo….!!!! .. M’s coming home!!! … we gotta clean the place up!!

  11. auriga says:

    Nice vid. I was wondering if you could tell me the origin of the word, “promise.” Thanks. :smile:

  12. …..*poof* sublime (verb)
    ……….sublime scenery ( adj ) as in the above video :grin:

  13. mijj says:

    i say, chaps! i bought this pen the other day. It writes really well. It writes so well that it kicks a donkey!

  14. animalntaz says:

    Oh, just bought the new HINDER CD (Take It To The Limit album), when it first came out days ago and it kicks ass! :cool:

  15. animalntaz says:

    Waikiki Beach….. I’ve climbed up Diamond Head once when my grandparents were visiting us, over a decade ago. Me and my family have visited Hanauma Bay, a few times in my life, just west of there.
    Marina, what other tourist attractions have you visited in Hawaii? I’ve been all over Oahu (except for the northern part, such as Turtle Bay) and a few places on the Big Island.

  16. animalntaz says:

    Dawnbreakz :cool:

  17. mijj says:

    this is a dumb question .. but .. how do you sign up for twitpic?

  18. now for the second half of our music break No Reply – The Beatles

  19. ….now is the time we take a music break Roy’s Toy – Jeff Beck

  20. …watch this video again now I need a cold shower :shock:

  21. hitoshi says:

    hello everyone! Am i the only person in the world who imagines some pictures of her calendar in order to get over daily busy and hectic days??? looking for people who work more than 15 hours a day while imagining the happiness of getting it.

    • foxbow says:

      I work 15 hours a day 2 times a week, other days “only” 11 hours, the only thing I think about is the money I get at the end of month :mrgreen: woohoooo yeaaaah lol

    • Capman911 says:

      Hey Hitoshi “ie” Felicity, Good to see you back on the site. I used to work 24.25 hours per day. Off for 24.25 hours this went on for three days on and off then four days off in a row. I only worked 10 days a month, but I worked a 56 hour work week. I had 4, 4 week vacations per year. Now it’s retirement no more working, just do what I want to. :smile:

  22. nighteye says:

    This video makes me think of Baywatch. Is that a good thing?

    Marina mentioned the Apple Mac as an alternative to me going through the torture of building my own pc.

    well .. i’m still gonna build the pc (i already ordered the case – i just missed delivery) – but it made me think that, when i continue with my website development course, if i’m serious about it, i could do with a mac for checking site presentation. … plus .. i think it might be a good idea to seperate PC workhorse from personal administration .. so the mac would be useful for that ..

    .. so with that in mind .. i think a nice mac could be one of the new 13″ macbooks.
    http://www.apple.com/uk/macbook/

    (i’ll put this to more detailed serious consideration after my new pc is up and running and routinely working)

    • Capman911 says:

      Hey Mijj, How about do a video on building your new pc. My Xp machine is custom built, but my Vista machine is a Gateway about 6 months old which makes it now kinda obsolete the way computer fodder goes. That would make for a good viewing.

      • mijj says:

        not so sure about a vid of building it .. good idea, but the practicalities and my inexperience of making vids are too much of a hurdle .. but i’ll take snaps.

        how about you vidding your Gatway being destroyed by a sledgehammer!! .. now that would be good viewing!

        :)

    • foxbow says:

      what torture of building a pc… it takes like 30 minutes ,tops :???: piece of cake lol :lol: I just looked at my old pc for an hour orso, so I knew how everything kinda worked , after that i build my onw in 20 minutes and everything worked perfectly.

      I saw you wanted to buy the q9950, i’d wait for the new Intel Core i7 ‘Nehalem’ cpu,it will be launched on 17 November. the cheapest one will go for +/- 280 dollars, but it’s alot faster than the current quad cores (almost 50% faster) :wink:

      If you like MAC,
      Just install it on your pc ,and make a dual boot with xp/vista, like I did :mrgreen: took some tweaking but now it works perfectly :wink: (I have the newest mac osx leopard , so not some old shit)
      But I still use xp 99% of the time though……

      • mijj says:

        well .. i’m including the research for the bits .. and finding suppliers .. and so forth in the build time. … plus .. i take time to put down conductive foam and earth it .. and so forth … and if i can find some way to make the experience painful, i will :)

        17 nov for the new cpu? .. hmmm … i shall check that out. But i dont like playing the wait-around-for-the-latest-kit game because it never ends. … if what i chose is suitable, it’ll be suitable even if something better comes up.

        i’d like to see your mac installation on your pc. .. do you have pics?

      • mijj says:

        even if i waited for the new processor – i wonder what actual practical difference the new processor would make? … my guess is : not a human-noticable amount.

      • foxbow says:

        how do you make a screenshot in mac :lol:

      • mijj says:

        lol .. now you’ve got me thinking in bursts …

        … i think the simplest way to make a noticable difference in using the pc would be to use a Solid State Drive for the main drive.

      • mijj says:

        you could use a camera, fox – do it the crude, unsophisticated way.

      • mijj says:

        what torture of building a pc… it takes like 30 minutes ,tops :???: piece of cake lol :lol: I just looked at my old pc for an hour orso, so I knew how everything kinda worked , after that i build my onw in 20 minutes and everything worked perfectly.

        yeh .. but you’re a genius an’ i’m a grunt. :)

    • foxbow says:

      The cpu used to run faster than 2.33 ghz, but I took it down again, i´ll be overclocking it again when i have some time…..

      I don´t know what those procedures were in 2005 …

      `even if i waited for the new processor – i wonder what actual practical difference the new processor would make? … my guess is : not a human-noticable amount.`

      You get higher frame rates in games , You render videos,pictures,music faster, etc, but if you don´t care about speed why do you want a quad core….. a cheap core 2 duo is more than enough if you just want to do everyday things…..

      • mijj says:

        oh .. i want speed of processing .. but an incremental increase may not be worth the bother.

        they say that the new processor preforms 20% better at the same clock rate .. this will be a peak measure .. so, let’s say on average, optimisticaly, the new processor has a 10% improvement in processing at the same clock rate.

        this means that, instead of waiting an hour for an array of image files to be processed, i’ll wait 54 mins.

        .. that’s not a huge difference.

        on the downside .. it’s a brand new architecture .. which means, the first tranche of users will be trialling their new architecture… i like the idea, but, i’m inclined to wait for the second cycle where most of the bugs of teh new architecture are ironed out.

        (i’m fighting off my natural nerdyness and desire for the flashiest new tech, and settling for the dull reliability of a marginally slower set of, but well settled, components.)

      • mijj says:

        oh .. and quad core because i intend to run XP as a virtual machine from within Kubuntu.

      • mijj says:

        ps. i wouldn’t be making the effort of building a new pc if i wanted to do everyday things with it.

        given the amount of effort this one i’m using had to make to generate simple little animations of a few seconds, then i need a significant improvement in processing if i intend to go further – which i do. :)

    :idea: I want to be an ordained minister in the Church of the SubGenius. :!:

    ["Bob"] is the figurehead.
    (A comicbook character who communicates with space aliens and worships money.)

    Slack is the style.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius#Slack
    The central belief in the Church is the pursuit of Slack, which generally stands for the sense of freedom, independence, and original thinking that comes when you achieve your personal goals.

    The Church encourages originality and frowns on actions seen as pinkness, which happens when one bows down to authority and the accepted limits of society.

    Slack is also about doing nothing and getting what you want anyway.

    is this the true religion for HFWers?

  27. vin-100 says:

    I’m sure your calendar will be very good (i mean sexy ;-) ) but where the word calendar come from ? Thanks for all… I never thought that English studies would be great like now I have you ! (sorry for my English, I come from Belgium)

  28. mijj says:

    is it true that the next video of Marina will be of her visiting the topless beach?

  29. mijj says:

    it’s nearly 2 weeks now since the start of my 1 month hiatus from HotForWords. I think i’m holding up pretty well .. i thought resisting returning to the site would be more of a struggle.

    • Dezdkado says:

      I have my studies to complete, and still haven’t been able to stay away… at least while on break.

      • mijj says:

        how do you arrange your studies?

        when i was at uni i was freakishly rigorous with my time discipline. i think at least partly due to not being fresh from school like most of the other slackers.

    • Dezdkado says:

      I don’t have to worry too much, as my weeks are flexible for studying… four or five hours a day for classes and the rest of the time is mine. I need the extra time, as my classes are reading intensive. But now I think I’m going to avoid taking my study-breaks here.

      After these last few encounters with rosiecheeks, and the racist comment by eisor243357 (above), I think I’ve had enough of this site for awhile. I enjoy bantering back and forth with you Mijj, and many of the other regulars here, like Che, Fianchetto, Alex, Buzz, Chacha, Pagedoll, Capman, Warren, et al. Send me a message on YT if you feel the need to gab with a nutty yank. Perhaps I’ll come back after the holidays.

      • mijj says:

        my bet is .. when you need to get a complete short holiday from the turgid grid of study, this place’d be useful.

        and the studies will be useful to get a break from here!!

        and .. i suspect rosie and eisor may be the same person.

        i’ll be in touch via YT, don’t you worry.

        see ya later.

  30. imperial7 says:

    Damn I wish I was still in Hawai’i. I remember many days on that beach. Should have never left.

  31. pagedoll says:

    I would like to REQUEST the phrase, ‘slave to the grind’ . Where did it come from? Who started it? Just wondering :mrgreen:

  32. rosiecheeks says:

    Is it just me or does Marina have a little too much time on her hands…especially for being in Hawaii. She has responded by posting more comments than usual lately. Looks like somebody is a vacation hermit! :shock:

    • CampKohler says:

      I want to recommend two things for you to see, Marina. One is Ewa beach to the west of Pearl Harbor. It’s used by the military and their families, but there is nothing stopping anyone from going there. I went there in the middle of a work day and it was absolutely empty! Can you imagine how much that beach is worth by the square foot? It was deserted and the showers stood unused. It was in January; the temperature was so perfect and the quality of the air was so delicious that I wanted to take a bread knife, cut out a cubic foot of air and take it back home to Sacramento, where it was raining. Unfortunately, I had no knife. :cry:

      Next is the submarine museum. It was inside the Navy base then, so the public couldn’t go. Now they have moved it next door to the Arizona Memorial Visitor Center. You can look through a real sub periscope, adjusting the focus, etc. as though you were going to put a torpedo into a nearby neighborhood home*. In the harbor, behind the museum (where it was when I was there) is a real WWII diesel fleet sub, with its nose up on the shore. There are stairs (companionways in Navy speak) cut into the deck, so you don’t have to slither down ladders like in the movies. I was there in the middle of a workday and there was nobody there except one docent**. (Are you starting to see a pattern here? If you go to the right place at the right time, you have things all to yourself.)

      The bunks were stacked three high and there was a seat for a guy whose entire job was waking people up to man their watch — a human alarm clock. The torpedo tubes up front had their sides just covered in levers, gears, bicycle chains and all sorts of jimcrackery, all of which interlocked the inner doors with the outer doors, so that it was physically impossible to open both at the same time (a definite no-no!).

      The conning tower, where the radar set, the torpedo-firing computer and other nasty things are manned during an attack, is a pressure vessel about 8′ in diameter by 11′ long mounted on the top of the sub over the control room. I was told seven people squeezed in there. It is normally off limits, because the public isn’t allowed to climb ladders, but as we were alone, I got to see it***. I noted the radar set waveguide that had to carry the microwaves up to the antenna had to withstand the terrible pressure of the see and still allow the antenna to rotate. It was made of shiny brass about the same cross section as pack of gum (if it’s in the Navy and it is brass, it is polished!). It looked like it was hand made, not a production item.

      Besides the big, round scope with the line sweeping around like you see on TV, there is a two-inch backup scope where the operator must imagine the sweeping; it shows only a straight line. Because they were required to have it, it was mounted near the floor in the foreward torpedo room. I thought it a great Navy joke, because nobody in their right mind would lie on the floor to use the ancient thing.

      You get to see the four big diesels in the engine rooms (and a machinist’s lathe squeezed in), the manuevering room, their break room (which was pretty big compared to the captain’s tiny cabin) and anything you want. I hope you can go see it. It was $3 back then, so it will be reasonable now.

      *I think you, looking through the scope with a Navy hat turned backwards, would make a great publicity still. If you can video it, you could say “fire!” like you are shooting two uh, nice torpedos.
      **Now there’s a word request.
      ***Can you imagine a docent, if you were alone, denying you the right to climb up the ladder while he stood below and watched you? Not in this life! :-)

    • It’s just you, and only you.
      The world revolves around you…
      You’re the only on who gets it!
      HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!

    Seriously, why is a raven like a writing desk??

    They both stand on sticks, i get that.
    Edgar Poe wrote on them, i kinda get that.
    Because they both have a B and neither of them have an N…i don’t get that!!!!!!!!!!???? DO U MARINA??? :roll:

  34. dalt584 says:

    Hello,

    I was wondering where the term or meaning of “Bull Shit” came from. I know it’s not appropriate, but it’s a word we hear almost everyday.

    “Bull Shit” ussually is used when someone is lying or faking something.

    Thanks,
    -Dalt584

    • Marina says:

      Good one Dalt584.. I’m on it! :-)

      • rosiecheeks says:

        uGGG. not fair. what about horse shit??? or ape shit??? those other two are used as well, horse shit is used more commonly than ape shit, and bull shit is used more commonly than horse shit. I can’t believe Marina still hasn’t done the word that means ‘phobia of long words’. THAT’S APE SHIT!!!! :cry:

      • CampKohler says:

        Don’t forget rat and bat, not to mention cat. Hey! You know there has to be spider, doesn’t there? But you never see spider. Probably that’s good thing, because if it was big enough to see, you be should looking out over your shoulder for something very, very scary.

  35. danielpool says:

    Hi Marina Did you go to the Arizona memorial GOD BLESS all those brave men. This hole world owes a BIG THANK YOU TO THE AMERICACAN VETERAN THANK YOU :lol:

  36. Fianchetto says:

    OK, love – I’m envious of your Hawaiian vacation, but you go, girl! You’ve earned it as far as I’m concerned, and I hope you make it at least an annual tradition for yourself! {perhaps not so envious of the vacation itself, but rather of the individual operating the camera… :mrgreen: }

    Ciao,
    Fianchetto

  37. ilikesexytime says:

    Marina the place your at is beautiful, where is it? Plz reply to me. Also your breasts are very beautiful too!! :mrgreen:

    What is the origin of the phrases “three sheets to the wind” and “Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey”

  42. danielpool says:

    Hi Marina good video you looked so pretty :shock: :shock: :shock: WOW You look like you are having a very nice time Happy for you. Have you went out and try ed to surf yet. I would like to see you in the new Hawaii five-0 movie have a good time Marine :lol:

  43. strawberryfields4ever says:

    Oh, nd one other request. I know the meaning of my first name… but I can’t find my middle name anywhere. I dunno if you do names… but is there anyway you could find the origin of the name “Irene” ???

  44. strawberryfields4ever says:

    I would like to know where the words “Politics” and “Politician came from”
    Please and thank you!!! :mrgreen:

  49. ada says:

    Hello Marina ^^
    How are you?
    I hope fine, well I have been your fan since this year and I think what you do is wonderful! You show that being a beautiful woman doesn’t mean that you are not smart. Its a honor to be writing this knowing that you will read it :oops:

    Well I am also here because I would like to ask you the origin of the phrase “I am keen to…” for example “I am very keen to have the opportunity to study Russian” :roll: well…also I would like to know where “Fan” comes from I think is a short version of Fanatic or something lol.

    Thank you for taking your time to read this.

    Kisses and Hugs 4 u :lol:

    Ada

  50. bsomebody says:

    Hey! Someone swiped the smileys!! :scream:

  51. Hey Marina,

    You gotta stop posting all these hot bikini pics. My smoke detector went off! Has this happened to anybody else?
    I’m seree-oos! :arrow: :shock: :lol:

  52. James says:

    2 things i want to know. Whats happened to the cocomment contest…. And whats that code to put youtube videos to a selected point

  53. a. cearhbaill says:

    hey mariana I just thought of another question. What is the origin of the word YANKEE.

    • bsomebody says:

      yankee or damn yankee?

      • mijj says:

        from the bit further down … re your bit about conformity:

        it just inspired this bit of 1984 style sloganeering:

        “conformity is comfortable!”

        i don’t think conformity and taking people’s feelings into account correlates well … for instance .. take the general ease of the conforming masses getting in line with insulting and denigrating islaam, whilst at the same time turning a blind eye to the mass murder of muslims by the wonderfully moral and righteous christian west.

      • bsomebody says:

        Again, I agree. I am an avowed nonconformist, but I do not go around intentionally throwing insults at people. Sometimes, though, I must choose between sparing someone’s feelings and doing what I think is right.

      • bsomebody says:

        Does my gravatar mean nothing?

      • bsomebody says:

        But the point I tried (and failed miserably, it seems) to make is that certain words are made taboo simply by popular consensus. Some words do have a negative history, such as many racial epithets. Some symbols, likewise have an understandable negativity (swastikas). Most of the time, though, “they” decide it is just a bad word. If I do not have any purpose to “ass” instead of “rump,” then I will try to accomodate. Like I said, it does not always make sense.

      • mijj says:

        oh sure .. it looks like the way language evolves is just as nonsensical as the way animals evolve.

        well .. there must be some impetus for a particular word to become taboo .. there are probably a number of possible reasons, but it doesn’t seem likely that there’s a consensus without an underlying cause for that consensus.

      • bsomebody says:

        Aha! I finally get to disagree with you. I have been patiently waiting. I believe, sir, that you place entirely too much confidence in the masses. Did we see an underlying cause for plaid to become fashionable (other than Kurt Cobain)? Did Disco have an underlying cause, except that infernal beat that even the whitest of us could “dance” to? Entirely too often, people herd together for no apparent reason other than to herd together.

      • mijj says:

        hmmm .. spontaneous consensus … i guess … for fashionable things maybe .. but … for a taboo word?

        … i don’t know .. i see your point … but … i can’t quite stretch to spontaneous taboonicity.

  54. Hi Marina,

    After shaking my mind free from that mesmerizing figure you have, I noticed you were at Waikiki Beach with Diamond Head in the background.

    I was wondering if you could check something out for me.

    Lay down on your towel (tummy in the air) with your head pointing at Diamond Head. Push your upper body up with your arms and lean your head back as far as it can go. Diamond Head should look upside down. Try to find the center most point and fix your eyes a little towards the city side of the middle. It would be about 45 palm trees I reckon.
    Take a mental note of this exact spot and squint real hard and you’ll see a Big Rock with sand around it. Once you see this… could you walk over there and see if there is a bag of “Maui Wowie” still there. It should be on the west side of the Big Rock about 14 feet up. I ditched it back in 1981 and was wondering if it was still there. If so, YOU CAN HAVE IT!. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Happy Holidaze! :mrgreen:

    I would like to know the origin of the word TRESPASS
    Thank you

  58. …my eyes are sore from ospisarticulating this video :shock:

  59. evanowen says:

    Milaya Marina,
    OK, no intellectualism in this video, just beauty for its own sake. Bolshoi spasibo!

    Onward: a word request, in response to Ps and Qs (pints and quarts) (which I saw on YouTube but can’t find here.)
    Three phrases that supposedly originated at about the same time as Ps and Qs:
    –sleep tight
    –bum’s rush
    –chew the fat
    If you like, I’ll send the stories I heard about how these phrases started.
    One more: “Man alive!” as an exclamation of astonishment. I have some evidence that the phrase originated in Wales.

    Cheers,
    EvanOwen

    Eaglet
    Speak English! I don’t know the meaning of half those long words, and I don’t believe you do either!

    Alice
    I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, Sir, because I’m not myself you see.

    The Duchess
    If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.

    Alice
    If it had grown up, it would have made a dreadfully ugly child; but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think.

    The Cat
    We’re all mad here.

    The Hatter
    Why is a raven like a writing desk?

    The Hatter
    Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you’re at.

    The Queen
    Off with her head!

    The Duchess
    Tut, tut, child! Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.

    The Duchess
    Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.

    The Mock Turtle
    We called him Tortoise because he taught us.

    The Mock Turtle
    Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.

    The Mock Turtle
    Well, I never heard it before, but it sounds uncommon nonsense.

    The King
    Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

    Alice
    I don’t believe there’s an atom of meaning in it.

    The Queen
    Sentence first — verdict afterwards.

    Alice
    You’re nothing but a pack of cards!

    Alice
    But then, shall I never get any older than I am now? That’ll be a comfort, one way — never to be an old woman — but then — always to have lessons to learn!

    Alice
    A cat may look at a king. I’ve read that in some book, but I don’t remember where.

    Alice
    I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can’t quite follow it as you say it.

    The Duchess
    That’s nothing to what I could say if I chose.

    The Queen
    Now, I give you fair warning, either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!

    Alice
    If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?

    Alice
    It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.

    Doorknob
    Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction.

    Mad Hatter
    No wonder you’re late. Why, this watch is exactly two days slow.

    Alice
    Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is — oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!

    Alice
    It was much pleasanter at home, when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits.

    Alice
    Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin; but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever say in my life!

    The Duchess
    There’s a large mustard-mine near here. And the moral of that is — The more there is of mine, the less there is of yours.

    The Mock Turtle
    What is the use of repeating all that stuff, if you don’t explain it as you go on? It’s by far the most confusing thing I ever heard!

    The Mock Turtle
    Ah! Then yours wasn’t a really good school. Now at ours they had at the end of the bill. French, music, and washing — extra.

    Alice
    Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin.

      Why don’t you just get a Mac and you will be SOOO happy mijj? I know that you probably have specific reasons for wanting a PC.. but Macs are just SOOO much fun to use! And so productive! I get so much done with my mac… everything I have done with my videos and on my website is done with my mac. Just throwing it out there

      • mijj says:

        well .. i like mac .. but i’m scared .. my pragmatism makes me use a windows machine .. but i always liked the principles and characters behind mac.

        … it’s been so long since i used a mac (we had those at work) .. plus .. i’m not sure if the sw i’m used to would run on a mac .. (i use some public domain made stuff for putting together those anim things – and they’re pc only)

        .. and part of this is the “fun” of building the pc 8-)

        - i wouldn’t mind a second type of “pc” though .. i’m on holiday from a website development course, but if i’m to take it seriously then i need to get a mac (if only to validate that stuff i do will look ok on it.)

      • mijj says:

        :idea: oh .. it just occurred to me .. it might be possible to get the mac OS to run on an intel machine such as mine.

        i’ll have to check that one out!

        :!: thanks for sparking that idea, M :!:

    • Marina says:

      If you could get osx running on that machine that would be awesome!

      • mijj says:

        hmmmm … i’ve seen some instructions (googled) … but they all date back to 2005. I’ve seen nothing (at a casual glance) more recent.

        From what i’ve seen Apple want to keep OSX on their boxes only, and they’re work hard to make it difficult to crack to run on other intel machines.

        i have a feeling .. it could be possible .. with a lot of hard work . and may not be reliable … so … i’m going to take the easy way out!

        a good idea that crashed and burned. You can’t easily build your own mac. :(

        but! .. i discovered you can set up a mac to dual boot into windows. So anyone wanting a windows machine might as well get a mac.

        if you can dual boot a mac into windows, why isnt everyone using a mac?

      • bsomebody says:

        Back to your ideas about why some words are taboo… Is it not the same idea as fashion or pop music. All these are defined by the masses. We can choose to wear what clothes we want or listen to the music of our choice. In the case of language, I choose to not offend others (not on purpose, anyway) unless I see a specific purpose for pissing someone off.
        You do not seem like a conformist, but I also get the feeling that you do take other people’s feelings into consideration. It is a bit of a paradoxical conundrum… I think :???:

    ok .. i’m trying to determine how to narrow my search for a hard drive …

      • mijj says:

        how would you rank the various manufacturers in term of reliability of their drives?

      • mijj says:

        i had a little check on eSATA (for external drive) .. it’s routine working data rate is twice that of peak usb2 data rate.

        i think eSATA is the way to to for an external drive. limited to 1m distance max, though. (the motherboard i chose comes with a riser for an eSATA connector).

    • mijj says:

      ah .. this is interesting …

      [Massive Google hard drive survey turns up very interesting things]
      failure rates are indeed definitely correlated to drive manufacturer, model, and age; failure rates did not correspond to drive usage except in very young and old drives (i.e. heavy data “grinding” is not a significant factor in failure); and there is less correlation between drive temperature and failure rates than might have been expected, and drives that are cooled excessively actually fail more often than those running a little hot.

    • mijj says:

      whew .. i have something to go forwards on ..

      samsung looks like the best (or at least one of the best) manufacturers …

      [The Red Hill Hard Drive Guide]

      Modern Samsung drives are reasonably priced, perform well, and have earned an outstanding reputation for bulletproof reliability. In recent years, Samsung has been the only hard drive maker with sufficient confidence in its products to offer an across the board three year warranty on all products.

      Samsung drives are generally regarded as the most reliable hard drives on the market today.

      + checking on forums (after searching on samsung reliability) there’s a consensus that this is borne out and they’re at the quiet end of the alternatives.

      so .. Samsung it is .. but .. what size? .. hmmmm …

      if anyone has any comment on any of the above, i’m yearning to hear it!

    Marina – why is it that in normal day-to-day circumstance (eg. in a queue at the atm or on the tube commuting to work) a casual discussion on the subject of cunts is frowned upon … whereas it’s perfectly acceptable to discuss, say, the state of Madonna’s vagina.

    so, Marina – why is the word “cunt” taboo, but “vagina” not?

      • mijj says:

        yeh .. well .. for instance .. say there’s a medical discussion on tv … a group of people will be perfectly fine discussing vaginas (especially if it’s related to the main topic), but the use of the word “cunt” would seem completely out of place.

        so .. really .. how is it that particular words become taboo .. and how do they manage to have so much weight attached to them?

      • mijj …just hate it when you make me think,

        Yes you are right, what does make a word taboo, when and how did this get to be so.

        maybe M can do this in the radio show or the magazine
        i see your point.

    • pedantickarl says:

      You’ve heard of “The Vagina Monologues”, right? Well, “The Cunt Monologues” just doesn’t have the same ring, I suppose, but hey, what do I know?

      • mijj says:

        but “cunt chat” doesn’t sound to bad, does it? … has a certain breakfast tv quality to it.

        “First the weather, then Cunt Chat with Kirsty and the Bishop of Canterwickle”

    • Cunt is an acronym for “Cannot Understand Normal Thinking”.
      In this usage it is socially acceptable. Hackles tend to rise when referring to labia lips in the nether Venus mons region of a woman, so mind your audience! It’s like saying a guy is a dick. :mrgreen:

    • By using the acronym as part of the acronym, this creates a mobius loop of logic – LOL! :mrgreen:

    • CaptainJack says:

      For those words you might see them show up only on the Maximum Radio show. Keep listening. :grin:

      • mijj says:

        it’s not so much the words, as to how taboo words come into being and carry so much weight that they can only be spoken of in special radio shows.

      • CaptainJack says:

        Bob is right. It depends on the culture of the society. Some words in the US are ok to say and some of those same words are not ok to say in other countries and/or cultures. People frond upon words that have dirty, obscene definitions. They take offense to them. HTW site attracts younger people and I see Marina has been trying to do those lessons on the radio show. Also the radio show is really geared up for that kind of content. So I see here reserving those words to do on the show. Did I answer your question?

      • CaptainJack says:

        Tag in – Someone else try to tackle this question for me. I have to run out the door to do some errands before class.

    • Bob says:

      If it’s not Latin, it’s rude. :grin:

    • Dezdkado says:

      I think that the taboo on the “C” word, in the US, revolves around its use to insult and demean. If the word was used clinically, inoffensively, or in a complementary manner it might not be a taboo word.

      • mijj says:

        nooooooooo … i’m using “cunt” as an example .. i’m not particularly fascinated by that one word .. well .. not for the sake of what i’m wittering on about here …

        plus .. chicken and egg, old chap .. cunt could be just as easily used as an insult because it’s a taboo word.

        i was really wondering about the dynamics of how some words get syphoned off from normal language into taboo language.

      • mijj says:

        damn … “cunt could be just as easily used as an insult because it’s a taboo word.”

        .. i mean .. rather than the word “cunt” evolving into a taboo word because of it’s use as an insult, it could just as easily be that the word “cunt” is handy as an instult because it’s a taboo word.

      • Dezdkado says:

        Well, you called the tune and used that word as your example. But to oblige you… That particular word doesn’t matter… Insert the taboo word of your choice and the rule still applies.

        .. i mean .. rather than the word “cunt” evolving into a taboo word because of it’s use as an insult, it could just as easily be that the word “cunt” is handy as an instult because it’s a taboo word.

        You’re going to trap yourself in circular thinking. Go back to your original question. Perhaps it is just my prudish upbringing, but I don’t recall a time, in the present or past, when a public discussion of taboo words was acceptable (unless a public meeting was organized to specifically explore the topic). In a closed group this might work… like a comedy act ala Lenny Bruce style.

      • CampKohler says:

        > “…in a complimentary manner….”

        Yeah, I just see it now: “My dear old grandma, the cunt, makes wonderful pies.” :roll:

      • mijj says:

        pure random conjecture: there are probably a number of paths for words to become taboo.

        one path could be some significant event to cause a word to become taboo. … like … maybe a war with a country where a common word has an origin in the enemy nation – this word could now become insulting. … erm .. can’t think of an example …

        … i’m sure there must be other possible language traumas that could cause words to spin off and become taboo.

      • Dezdkado says:

        Gimme a break, CK… I wasn’t talking about reversing the negative connotation of a word, making a taboo word no longer taboo. I was describing a word’s usage since its inception.

    This was a very captivating video, it made me realize how much more the subject is the focus than the jittery cinematography.

    I think I’ve been on that same part of the beach (Waikiki?), I remember seeing Diamond Head way off at the other end.

    • CampKohler says:

      I hope you took the time to trek to the top of Diamnond Head, and hope Marina does, too. I went there in the 80s and will give a little travelog for those who can’t (or might) go. And now for the Tale of the Diamond Head treasure.

      Diamond Head is an extinct volcano a few blocks across, easily visible on Google Earth. There’s a lush lawn inside with an Army installation and a visitor center inside. A two-lane car tunnel leads from city streets to the inside, where you can park for free. A long, paved trail zig-zags up the inside of the south (seaside) wall of the volcano to a man-tunnel that is drilled to a slit cut 90 degrees in the outer wall. At the slit, you can turn left and look at the ocean or turn right to a concrete staircase that leads to the upper levels. Upt there are the rooms where soldiers lived, ammo was stored and the big guns (long gone) were trained out over the oceon. There’s a spiral cast iron staircase that led to the top, but you have to get off due to unsafe stairs and climb out through a gun slit (easy to do) and walk on a trail on the outside of the volcano to the top.

      The view at the top is fantastic. There is a USGS benchmark set on a concrete block, which I am sure you could find in the database on their Website. (Many benchmarks get “disappeared” over time, but unless it has been stolen, it should still be there.) Oddly, benchmarks are there to mark the exact height and they don’t seem to be concerned so much with the accuracy of exactly where it is. Anyway, you could take a lunch up there and have a great view of the ocean.

      Back at the slit, as you come out of the tunnel, straight ahead there is a little room (6′x8′?), which was the comm center, where someone probably manned a manual switchboard. The reason I know this is that the floor of the room was a couple of feet deep and filled up to the door level with trash. What?? There were bedsprings, leaves, dirts, drink cans, etc., and under all that was a relay rack that caught my eye. A relay rack is like the uprights of a guillotine and is used to mount telephone gear. I saw down through the trash, still mounted in the rack, a jack bar that would have been used to patch calls to various phones. (As you walk up the trail, an armored telephone cable can be see peeking out of the soil here and there, probably for connecting the room to the Army fort below.) A perfectly good jack bar in the trash! This could not be allowed to stand. I made my plans.

      The next morning at 6AM the gates opened and I drove in and parked. There were no other cars. With tools in my pockets and a newspaper, I hoofed it to the top. As I was digging down to the telephonic archeological layer, I heard footsteps and imagined what Leavenworth would be like. A little old lady had a bag of cans, bottles and trash that she had collected and she tossed it in through the door; maybe this was her morning routine, which would mean she was a tough little thing. I was pressed against the wall and the room was dark inside, so she didn’t notice me. If I had said, “Boo!,” I’m sure she would have died of a heart attack on the spot, for I assume she thought she was all alone, too. She walked off and I got back to work.

      I had feared that the salt air would have rusted the four 10-32 machine screws into the rack, but they came out easily. I cut the old, cloth-covered telephone wires with a pair of cutters and lifted the jack bar out of it’s disrespectful grave into the light of day (a ressurection!). After wrapping it in the newspaper, I descended to the car and made my getaway. Back at the hotel room, I saw that there was barely any rust at all and that it was generally in good, useable shape. I still have it, but will deny that I do.

      Marina, I hope you will make the treck and find the comm room and the benchmark.

        In charge is the U.S. National Park Service. Luckily more than seven years have elapsed, and of course I could always say that I just made it all up to impress the beautiful Marina. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

  92. annuddermale says:

    well, i’ll ask for shill again, i guess…

    and why the “mf” word so fascinates rap (or is it hip-hop?) artists?… :???:

    • CampKohler says:

      Let me guess that it could be due to the fact the person who would traditionally be doing the mfing may be absent in the rapper’s family.

    and sorry for the word if it offended you :neutral:

  94. blaster boy3312 says:

    ummm(damn ur hot)yeah back to the word the word is masturbation (damn ur hot)(and no the word has nothing to do with you nor the calendar)(ur still hot really hot)

  95. Why is the Google ad blocking this video :???: no place to click it off

  96. Hi Marina,

    While you are over there, could you find out the origin of Pau Hana? ((pronounced: pow-hawna)) I think I spelled it correctly… maybe all one word. Hint… it has to do with what you receive after a full shift of work in the hospitality business.

    I was surprised by this video.

  97. rosiecheeks says:

    I was wondering where the word internet came from? The computer internet.

    • CampKohler says:

      First there were PCs connected together in networks, but the networks were separate. The Internet was designed to connect networks of research facilities working on government projects, such as universities, together, hence the term.

      • rosiecheeks says:

        Oh. Well, the internet is kind of like a library with books of all books.

      • CampKohler says:

        Well, not all books. There are some networks intentionally never connected to the ‘Net. For example, classified military matters should never be on a computer with ‘Net access, so that they can’t be hacked. Similarly, there was one flaw in the 1983 movie, War Games: there was a dial-up line to W.H.O.P.P.E.R., the defense computer, a no-no.

    • mijj says:

      actually, prudish parents were afeared of all the porn that this interconnected network of pcs made available to innocent eyes. So, whenever a small child wandered near they yelled “enter not”. Children, being stupid, heard this as “internet”, and the word stuck.

  98. leonard says:

    my internet is acting up—you look hot as always :cool:

    Hi Marina,
    I have a word i havent seen in your list, it has many meanings to me , and i can used it in many situations, but where does it come from, i have heard it meant to stab someone with a knife, and i use it too often, so is there another word i can used besides the word… :mrgreen: FUCK. sometimes besides sayin that i say fluctuate, or aye ya….
    Can you help me kurb my bad language…..girls dont like it too much…..do you use the word FUCK Marina….???Love to know…
    Waxit.

    2:01 – what more can I say! The never was a lovelier mermad …

    • rosiecheeks says:

      ..huh…Sarah Paxton in Aquamarine was a very lovely mermaid. if u ask me. the all american girl look, minus the accent. however i adore marina’s accent it’s not at all annoying like my moms.

  105. rosiecheeks says:

    ROSE HAS A BOYFRIEND!! wELL, potential. this time he’s not 27, he’s 20 so he’s only 2 years older than me. And the first time we hung out we DIDN’T do it. So i’m sure i’ll keep him for longer this time. and not just 3 dates. like the other guy. so that’s what’s going on in my life. i had to put this out there for u che, b/c my myspace is actin up.

  106. Dezdkado says:

    I loved the music in this video. I also liked how Marina was surprised by the wave. :mrgreen: Have a great time in Hawaii. Don’t get sunburned.

    • rosiecheeks says:

      It’s more like excitement from the wave than being surprised.

    • mijj says:

      wow… that’ was some fantastic wave …

      surprising her and exciting her!

    • mijj says:

      oh .. another three weeks before i come back to the HFW site.

      i’m doing pretty well actually. it’s been over a week and i’ve managed to keep away completely.

      you realise, of course, that you’re hallucinating this – this isnt’ me posting here at all – it’s a mad crazy dream.

    • mijj says:

      lol .. the election .. i completely forgot about that.

      i just took it for granted O would win. .. so no excitement in following the race.

      • Dezdkado says:

        I also took that for granted, in the beginning. The race seemed closer today, somehow… while I was voting and wondering who would win. My concern is not so much with the presidency, but with my city, state, and federal representatives… these are the people who make the laws that affect me directly. I’m relieved that the presidential election is done, so that we can stop talking about it, and get on with our lives.

    • mijj says:

      weeeeellll .. you know … it’s not my place .. i feel .. you know … sorta .. well .. it’s not .. i should just come right out and say it ..

      … it’s not the elected representatives that make the laws .. really, it’s the lobbyists.

      • Dezdkado says:

        You’re free to speak without worry with me. That lobbyists have an overwhelming influence on laws is (to me) without question. But the responsibility for the vote is with the representative. Not all politicians are corrupt (though they are human, and therefore fallible). Not all lobbies are evil (or slavery would never have been abolished in Britain or the US). I rather admire the man William Wilberforce and the lobby that backed his seat in Parliament.

    • mijj says:

      i think it’s down to the mechanics of particular political systems. what in one culture would be seen as corrupt, in another is seen as normal business.

      i think for most people, government directed by lobbyist influence is just regarded as the way things are done – no good or evil about it.

      plus .. the stuff about slavery being abolished in britain .. that’s a bit of an exagguration. slavery continued by a technicality. … people from the indian subcontinent were taken into slavery in distant lands, but the term couldn’t be used because they signed a piece of paper declaring that they entered into their contract by their own free will. .. could they read and was there coercion? .. well .. all we have is the “X”s on the paper that proves they weren’t slaves.

      dont let any brits crow about how they abolished slaves while slavery continued in the US.

      • Dezdkado says:

        Mijj, you’re more of a cynic than I… :grin: I wasn’t arguing that all slavery, economic or otherwise, was eradicated… or that man’s inhumanity to man ended. Truly, the civil rights fight continues on every day. But don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Did these events help the cause of civil rights for all men, maintain the status quo, or hinder the cause of civil rights? Today… Are the impediments to the rights of man tied to the legal possession of human beings as property or tied to the flaws of human nature?

        Also, I have no sense of guilt that Brits abolished slavery before the US. The only nation that can have any pride concerning slavery is the nation that never held slaves…

  107. seesixcm6 says:

    Dear совершенная Marina, I think you are going to sell thousands of calendars! You are beautiful in that video you posted from Hawaii. It was much better than watching our election results! Hawaii doesn’t bother with Daylight Savings Time, so you didn’t have to worry about a time change, there. But when you get back to California, remember to reset your clocks and watches at your home. :smile:
    счастливо в Гавайских островах.
    ваш дорогой студент, seesixcm6

    • rosiecheeks says:

      What does ur screenname mean?? It makes me ponder and ponder and it frazzles my brain but i just can’t figure it out, do you care to explain?
      (i can rhyme too che!! looooll!!) :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

      • seesixcm6 says:

        OK, when I was in the US Army Signal Corps, I handled air defence radar and communications. My “handle” was a contraction of the saying, “you have to see them six ways from sunday.” Also, in the Russian language they spell their word “to see” as “cm.” So, “cm6″ was an inside joke between me and Marina.

        I’d ask about your screen name of “rosiecheeks” but I’m not sure your answer would be very nice.

    • rosiecheeks says:

      Seesixcm6, ur so cool. U know i was thinking about enlisting in the army??? altho all my friends and family say i should consider the airforce, even tho the bonus enlistment for the army is bigger, that the airforce would be less-challenging for me and have more benefits for women than the scary army. Also i should wait and see whose president first. Who do u think is gonna win, dear??

      • seesixcm6 says:

        Today, the military is like any other job. You’ll do better if you’re highly qualified. Because I already had a degree in electronics and an FCC Licence, the Army assigned me responsible duties, with proper pay and promotions. It’s still possible to start at the bottom and rise through the ranks, but it takes lots of time and dedication.

      • CaptainJack says:

        Before you choose a service you should think about what career path you would want to take then pick a service that fits your path. There are many opportunities for women in all branches of service. Including the Navy which is historically been known to be the worst at giving opportunities for women, now has much improved over the years. My grandmother served 3 years in the Army and had many good experiences with them. I had enlisted in the Army myself but when I found further information about job opportunities in the Navy in computer sciences I switch to the Navy. I passed the entrance exam for the Navy Seal Team but my uncle suggested it was not a good time to be in the Seals. Today I wished I had joined the Coast Guard. I wanted to be a rescue swimmer. Well now I sort of part of the Coast Guard. Im doing the licensing training for Captain’s.

    • rosiecheeks says:

      YES!!! Basic training, two times, and then enlisting for 6 years. Hopefully, we meet and u help me be a stronger person!!! And, if ur hot, i’ll definitely come up to u and talk to u.

      • seesixcm6 says:

        I’m no longer on active duty, so you won’t see me in the military. Why would you want to go through basic training twice?

      • CampKohler says:

        I think basic is waived by most services for entry from another service (although I can’t see the Marines doing it) and certainly for re-ups. You are right — nobody would want to do it twice.

  108. larry c. says:

    very nice but i’m here for the words. she’s really cute

  109. runawayscott says:

    I keep getting depressed when I come to this site. Every time I see a beautiful girl like Marina, I just start thinking so negative like I’ll never find someone and I’m going to be alone for the rest of my life. I’m not exactly a positive person am I?

    • rosiecheeks says:

      No, but neither am i. But my grandpa always told me ‘Fake it Til you Make It.” :smile:

    • BillyB says:

      Actually you have to be happy alone, before somebody wants to be with you runawayscott, think about it.
      Definitely never… no never sound desparate… ok only in your weakest moment, but only for a fleeting moment.

    • mijj says:

      i agree with you to an extent scott .. there’s an agony and ecstasy quality about this site. :)

      fortunately for me, though .. i happen to “enjoy” (wrong word, but it’ll do) the torture. – it somehow shakes up my brain and feelings and rouses me up.

    • Warren says:

      Hello runawayScott,
      It seem that you need a dose of tonic

    • CampKohler says:

      I know! Let’s all shoot ourselves.

    • Bob says:

      … you have to be happy alone, before somebody wants to be with you …

      BillyB hit the nail on the head there; no-one likes a miserable bar-steward.
      Happiness is not about having everything you want, but being content with what you have; however that does not preclude striving to get more of what you want.
      Happiness is also a choice – you can decide to be happy or miserable – just make sure to make the right decision every moment of every day. :smile:

    • Warren says:

      RunawayScott,
      I was just having a bit of fun. I don’t drink either, I wasn’t being serious enough for you and I apologize for that light hearted comment.
      BillyB and Bob are correct and maybe it would serve you well to take their comments to heart.

      • runawayscott says:

        It’s times like this you realize that this site really is a community, people here actually seem to care. or maybe they just like being heard

    • Warren says:

      No, I’m not the type to just ramble on. I try to make a contribution here. I was sincere in my comment. I don’t want anyone here to wonder what I really meant so I’m honest in every post. My jokes might not be appropriate at times, and I do fish deep for them, but it’s (I believe) obvious when I’m trying to be clever.

      • runawayscott says:

        Oh no, believe me I got the joke and I thought it was pretty funny. I believe there is no such thing as an inappropriate joke. I’ve just been in a mood where I like to stew for a littel while.

    I actually ordered the calendar after I saw this. :mrgreen:

    Marina, Marina……….Marina…!!!!!!!!!

  112. mijj says:

    {.. shrug ..}

    i’m all out of step with everyone here, i think. this wasn’t one of M’s best vids. i didn’t like the meat market tone.

    i think she shouldn’t have gone for the model-type posy look-at-my body thing .. i think she should have just done a “normal girl running round at the beach” thing.

    everyone’s going to hate me. :(

  114. maxemup says:

    me and my friends were having a drinking contest and right before i started my friend says “bottoms up”… what does that have to do with anything? where does it come from? very curious…and nice calendar

    • Marina says:

      That would imply that you turn the bottom of your glass up and consume all the alcohol :-)

    • buzzword says:

      it is a public pronouncement of ones commitment to drink until one is bottoms up face down and puking. sorry marina but i’ve got to keep the record straight.

      • rosiecheeks says:

        i bet i could out-drink u any day, any where. Miller light is my fave beer. whats urs/?? i also love the fine taste of mikes hard lemonade cranberry coming into my mouth.

      • CampKohler says:

        I don’t drink at all (can’t stand the taste). One night at San Vito De Normandy Air Station, my roommate comes in blitzed and in a slurred voice says, “You don’t know what you’re missin’” and then hit the sack. One minute later he’s up and running towards the latrine. He barfs all over the hall and then is next seen with the mop and bucket cleaning the floor.

        Oh, yeah. I don’t know what I missed. :roll:

  115. mijj says:

    so .. where do i order the colander?

  116. mijj says:

    what calender? … maybe M means colander?
