Dear Marina,
your moves for the hula dance were great. – You know, I have a suggestion: For another video you put an additional courtain in front of your face and you can show us a belly dance while explaining other words or phrases. I am looking forward to your performance. :smile:
Homework: Hula Hoop.
I remember the Art Linkletter show and the Hula Hoop craze that followed. So, yes, I have hula hooped as a kid, not any more though.
no my hips are frozen
NEW VID
Idiom Request: “To a T” or “To a tee”
as in performing something to perfection… “That suits me to a tee” or “She can play that sonata to a T”
in the olden days i could conjour up a Marina vid by posting a mijj animation.
Well then, conjour away lad, conjour away.

Boy sure is hot in here, Well how hot is it?
Ans. It’s so hot (fill in the blank)
.. it’s so hot my cup of tea’s staying warm longer that it usually does.
…. sip ….
It’s so hot that Capman is feeding his chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
.. it’s so hot that i’m pretty sure i’d feel more comfortable without my tie.
Hi my english 11 Ap class is doing a project on the history of a assigned word which includes the words etymology and use in literature. we each randomly picked a word out of a jar and my word was Temper, i was wondering if you can help me and make this world your choice for your next video. thanks
Hey Marina, my 2 yr old son LOVES you. We watch you every night before we head off to bed. I am currently reading a book which brings up the origin of the word ‘human’. It was suggested that ‘hu’ really stands from ‘hue’ meaning colour, and ‘man’ obv. meaning man. “colour + man” I wanted to know if this was correct or if there is another story behind its origin. I figure this might be of interest to all as we are all human :P Thanks!!
Well, most of us anyway…
I swear, Marina’s last few lessons – Darlin’, you have been HOTTER than hot!!! After watching Hula Hoop I got in a conversation with my wife(my WIFE!) in which instead of saying “lymph nodes” I said “NYMPH LODES” (loads?). Man, I had to laugh at myself. My wife laughed, too, briefly – then she realized I’d been on this site, at which time she became extremely pissy…
How old is she?
That makes me laugh… my wife’s name is Mary & one of my fears is calling her “Marina”… hasn’t happened yet… be interesting if it does.
As I believe that living in fear of your fears is a paralyzing way to live, let your wife be pissy… she’ll survive a linguistic slipup or two… it’s all about the words is it not?
Of course! Always! Only the words. That’ s all. Just the words.(My wife doesn’ t buy it either). Oh, she’ 44, but looks like she’s about 12.
Joke time…
Three Nuns died in a car accident. When they got to the pearly gates, St. Peter informed them that, despite the fact that they were Nuns, they would have to pass one final test to enter Heaven (overcrowding, etc.)
The first Nun stepped up and said, “I am ready for your test”.
St. Peter asked her, “Who were the first people?”
Smiling, she replied confidently, “Adam and Eve!” The gates opened with a flourish. Relieved, the second Nun approached the gates.
St. Peter queried, “Where did Adam and Eve reside?”
Giggling, the second Nun retorted without skipping a beat, “In the Garden of Eden.” She too was admitted with a fanfare.
The third Nun eagerly approached St. Peter and indicated that she too was ready for her “test”. St. Peter, sensing overconfidence, asked, “What were Eve’s first words?”
Stunned and clueless, the third Nun looked at St. Peter and said, “Boy, that’s a hard one.” She too was admitted without delay.
Excellent!
d’oh!
arrghhhh!!! .. major major disaster!!!
Windows XP64 doesn’t render Flash stuff!!
i cant’ do my anim stuff in this operating system .. i cant even see YouTube videos!!!
goddammit!!
:sad: I’m stuffed!
penalty on mijj!!!
..flag tossed in air….. penalty for overuse of the ‘sad’ :sad: emoticon in one lesson :mrgreen:
proceeds with rending of shirt, wailing and gnashing of teeth
Mijj I am running windows xp pro and it runs flash with no problem. That’s the only way I can watch videos. It is also on my vista machine.
Me too… XP Pro and mucho Flash SW… no probs here, apart from loathing Windows.
no . this is the 64bit version of XP.
the usual one is 32bit .. and the 32bit version only recognises upto 3GB of memory.
my system has 8GB of memory .. for that to be recognised i need win XP64.
- i tried loading in 6 mins worth of 30 frames / second images (640×480) into flash (my normal XP) and it ran out of memory. .. i cant avoid having lots of mem.
Ok I see what your saying. There has to be a fix for that where you can run the flash player.
Can you run the flash player in a different compatibility mode in the properties section of the icon on the desktop.
i think there will be a fix .. eventually
i read stuff saying they’re working on it.
Found this concerning the issues upgrading to 64bit processor:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/514147.html
looks like the normal win XP should be used, except i need to use all that memeory
it looks like Marina was right after all .. the Mac can do this stuff, XP is limited one way or another.
good thread, dez .. thanks.
My sons computer is a vista with 64 bit celeron2 dual core processor. He is running flash player but he has only 2 gigs of ram. From what I read in the article that Dez posted it the amount of ram that you are trying to use. So when that article was written for xp 32 and 64 there has to be a fix by now.
it’s not the pooter, it’s the operating system and the version of flash available for that operating system.
my bet is, your son has a 64bit pc, but he’s running standard winXP on it.
yeh! .. i just noticed .. that thread is 2005. You would have thought they’d fixed it by now.
but no! .. they haven’t put the effort in. Adobe says there’s no version for my OS, and there’s upto date wondering about getting flash to work on winXP64.
… grrrrrr …
i guess i’ll have to take the mac-on-the-PC more seriously.
TV Guide.com ‘Mythbusters’ tonight episode is
Idioms and phrases are scrutinized
ie Hit the ground running, Going out with a bang……..
Everyone is getting on Marina’s wagon
Word/Phrase Request – Getting on the bandwagon
poor Marina’s squashed li’l wagon. :sad:
f*&% me .. i think my period of mourning for M is over! :)
You are having mixed emotions :smile:
lol .. no .. the “f*&% me” wasn’t addressed to Marina .. it was merely an expression of surprise. :)
the rending of shirts and wailing and gnashing of teeth has passed.
So I’m totally hooked on this site now! I think it’s brilliant, which would actually be a cool word to investigate…where does the word “brilliant” come from, and is the origin synonymous with bright lights or smart people?
do you have to be a moron to post in these comments . or would it help. someone buy me the calendar….thanks
yes .. it would help tremendously if you were a moron to post in these comments.
so .. i wonder how M will manage how she comes across in the Fox things.
i think she can do it if she realises they need her more then she needs them.
i mean now she’s a New Yorker c’leb: will M manage how she appears with Fox?
.. maybe i’m paranoid .. but i think Fox will try and use M for their own agenda. … and obviously, any agenda of Fox’s will rub against the grain of New Yorker.
lol .. now i read back .. ahem .. maybe it’s time i quite managing M’s affairs.
I hope your right Mijj. Some of the execs use the old couch method telling a young lady that I can help your career if you do this. I know M has better sense than that. She will work New York her way to suit her. They will be eating out of her hand. :wink:
i was thinking in terms of M being anxious to please her Fox host .. but really, i think she has the upper hand. She has what Fox wants … Fox in particular doesn’t have what she wants … all they can offer is to spread her name … nothing else .. she offers Fox credibility in areas they dont deserve. – and that’s why she has the upper hand – even though apparently she’s at their beck and call.
IT’S all about money and the cult of personality. IS IT NOT. That’s the way it’s all ways been :sad:
weeeellllll … i think there’s another layer beyond that.
The money and personality cult is the bottom line that we all see …
but choices are made about particular personalities in particular places making points in particular ways … i think M has a certain credibility (and cult following) that would be useful to Fox (but not to her, in the long run).
there’s no reason why M shouldnt appear on Fox, but she doesnt have to be a willing pawn in their game .. because .. in reality .. it’s the balance between how much they want her because she’s useful to them v. how much she needs them because they spread her name and the wad of cash they give her.
… M’s need for Fox is very low level, whereas Fox’s need for M is much higher level. So, in reality, M has room for manouver with them.
… i think. :???:
“i think M has a certain credibility (and cult following) that would be useful to Fox (but not to her, in the long run).”
that should read:
i think M has a certain credibility (and cult following) that would be useful to Fox (but Fox would not useful to her in the long run).
:cry: IT’S not what you know it’s who you know. Ether way you are the puppet. Reality is hard to accept at times :?:
yeh .. but .. well .. you can get to choose who’s puppet you are and to what degree you’ll be a puppet.
M will still be glad of Fox, but she’s canny and will know Fox needs her more .. so she can be a puppet with some degree of self awareness.
at least that’s some level of control.
:)
GO to the store and tell them i don’t have any money see how munch control you have :lol: :?: YOU have to pay off the puppeteer :cry:
Marina!
Can you please investigate the origin of the term “Rock ‘n’ Roll”?
I would love to know the history behind it.
Thanks so much,
Mintpepperoni

I only scored 3563. Was tempted to try it again, but I can become addicted to computer games and generally avoid them. (It was fun, though!) :grin:
Fun but it got me to jittery and nervous I’ll go to the store and get the turkey :smile:
I actually did better with about 3 or 4 sherries in me, almost beat 10,000. Does it say anything that I am a better shot after i have had a few?
@mijj I would rub on my ‘tiki’ god idol to summon Marina but Marina didn’t bring me one.
I’d be happy with a virtual ‘tiki’ idol :grin:
pardon?
if you would have followed my tweets earlier you would have known I asked Marina to bring me back a present from Hawaii.
My request was for a ‘tiki’ idol island god.
Maybe Marina is like a Genie. You have to rub her gently :wink:
I’ll haft to get back to ya later, I’m busy shootin’ me some turkeys :smile:
oh well .. ok .. well .. too bad about M not bringing you back a tiki, but .. well .. you never get her anything.
I didn’t fly off to some exotic island
is that where all the gifts are kept?

What, exactly is going on over there, mijj?
HOMEWORK: I’m not much for hula hooping, but I have eaten fire before. :twisted:
This is my favorite Hot4Words lesson :!: Thank you, Marina.
I loved the hula hoop when it first came out. It was a craze that lasted for over a week. But, that’s not why I love this lesson. It’s that lucky, baby blue, bathing suit Marina is wearing…and doesn’t Marina look yummie with her Hawaiian tan? I hope to always remember Marina doing the hula in her green Hawaiian dress. Timeless. It affected me like Ulla in the movie version of The Producers, played by Lee Meredith who, upon command, would dance for her boss.
I was thinking the other day about the word “hoopla”.
Is that a crazy Roaring Twenties word?
!! .. and Marina – a cartoon in the New Yorker !!
i feel kinda tearful .. {.. blows nose ..}

I was doing a Mock exam today.
It got me thinking about how the word “Mock” is used.
The word, “Mock” as in an exam, and to “Mock” someone.
Can you find the origin of the word “Mock” please?
Can you find out the origin of the word “horseradish”? I was picking all of it growing in my yard and wondered about it.
Thanks.
Here is a word for you: Spagettification, past tense: Spagettifed

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THE WORD

when you sneeze, some1 says gazoontite
Gazoontite
Gazoontite
Gazoontite

Perhaps you mean, “Gesundheit.” This is a Yiddish saying.
why do they use such intensely powerful blue LEDs for power indicators?
it’s like an attempt to perform laser eye surgery .. i mean .. it’s so distracting.
i might disconnect the indicator .. or put a resistor in there to diminish it somewhat.
I know what you mean Mijj. I have one mounted in my truck for the alarm system and you can see it blinking from quite a distance away. I guess that’s good for burglars.
yeh .. the good stuff has the brightest lights – makes it easier to find.
Mijj, what would you say is the best or better video viewing software a person can get. I am using Real Player right now, but there must be a better one on the market. Real Player has a little problem with MP4 videos and as you’ve seen Quicktime is lousy. I have the most recent update for both, but Real player keeps asking for codecs to run certain videos like mp4s.
best one is …
[ VLC media player]
.. it can play anything thrown at it, and it’s free.
oh .. i checked here ..
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html
.. it doesn’t handle the “real” format.
Hey Mike and mijj,
Even tho VLC is OK, and has gotten better, it is finicky and not that user friendly. e.g. where is my VCR controls in full screen? Not there. Can VLC play BMPs, GIFs and SWF? Nope.
It does have many other geek qualities so it is worth having if you are into geeky things like remote, etc.
It seems not many mention the top secret of players which is “mplayerc” or “Media Player Classic”.
Do NOT search for that player and install it as you won’t have all of the codecs. Get the player via the codecs download.
Keyword search: “KL download” or “K-lite download”.
This is the best and fastest and most user friendly player around for both non-geek and geek. I use it for both video and audio. Yes, it has playlists and yes it has VCR control in Full screen and yes it has full Audio and Video controls at your fingertips (look at the Windows Status bar)
Here is the link. It is legal and has been around for a long time. Download the FULL version.
K-Lite Codec Pack
Here is another link in case the other link is down or busy.
You want K-Lite Codec Pack 4.2.5 FULL install download.
http://www.codecguide.com/
See my answer to Mike and you about VLAN vs “Media Player Classic”. Tell me what you think. I think it is the best and I’ve got about 20 players or so.
i like vlc because you dont need to fuss about looking for codecs.
on the other hand i have media player classic too .. because that can run avs scripts (which i use to create the video for my youtube music uploads)
Thanks Klaus, I downloaded the newest edition they have out. It plays all my vids now. Your a gent. :smile:
That’s nothing to complain about; I’ve just bought a new control system for my flight simulator and it has 2 green LEDs, 11 Blue LEDs and a blue Multi-function display.
It looks like Union Street at chucking out time on a Saturday night.
“Chucking out time?” I have not heard that before.
and, i hope, all set to maximum piercing brightness.
hmmm … seems Adobe Premiere is the competition for Apple Final Cut … so .. if i’m getting Adobe CS4 for the web and flash stuff, i should abandon Apple Final Cut.
(note: this is twitter type material thrown into this thread like a drunken vagrant begging for spare change)
Hey mijj, Adobe Premiere used to be good way back when and I used it then. In the last few years, Sony Vegas Movie Studio is the best.
I can’t speak for Final Cut as I believe it only works on a Mac, but I venture a guess that Final Cut and Vegas are equals, assuming you compare the same price points.
Recent Experience:
I helped my neighbor install Premiere on his low end performing PC. Premier choked. Vegas install did an auto-performance tweak and it rocks. Vegas is very WYSIWYG. Premiere seemed archaic.
Vegas is free download, 30 day trial, no muss, no fuss.
Vegas matrix comparison
I recommend at minimum the Platinum version at $US 85
If you are planning to do DVDs and you want fancy DVD menus, you will want to get “DVD Architect”. You can create Hollywood professional DVD menus. If you don’t need fancy menus, don’t get “DVD Architect”
I’ve used both for the last 5 years.
my basis for Final Cut is that M uses it … that sounds like suck-up .. but really it’s my instinct for : no matter what the theories are, in the end check what’s actually being used by people you know. And i think M is a good ref for checking what works. (the biggest part of my admiration for M isn’t her boobage or leggage or wordage, it’s her brainage and straight practical engineeringage in making her site and vids be a successful means of expression – ahem .. enough with the worship)
however .. for me .. in practical terms .. i’d need to swap stuff between any video and any anim stuff i’m messing with (this is all experimental and non-professional, you understand). A key factor in this is using flash. So, i guess my simplest option is to go with the adobe solution.
.. oh yeh .. this is all aimed at generating YTube type vids. .. it’s all pure froth and self-expression. :)

How did pizza get its name
word request: filigree
Marina! Good to see some furnishings. Sorry , I spotted a mistake here. When you hula hoop you move your hips foward and backward not all around. You would think you did but its subconcious. I used to be really good at it, but for some reason only with my legs. If I tried my hips then it would fall to my knees, where it would then stay for a long time.
I think she was belly dancing instead James, that’s what it looked like to me, or was I dreaming again. :grin:
what about the origin of the word family,,,,
thx and keep posting
ooo .. i just found a pic of an interesting page from my passport on my website if anyone wants a look …

I am sure that Marina has her hands full, just coming back from vacation. I know that I always have work piled up after time away. I anxiously await her presence back among us. :grin:
“I am sure that Marina has her hands full”
just what are you implying?
Uhh… I… uhh…. Kobe! Yeah, I bet that Kobe ran up to her and will not let her put him down. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
damn! .. winXP wants a name for the pc .. erm ..
suggestions please! (considering that it was spawned during the influence of Marina/HotForWords)
… i guess i can change its name later.
(temporarily Hox = HotForWordsBox)
Marina’s Hot Box :lol:
lol
*slap* .. how dare you!
.. and anyway .. one word
Yea the names can always be changed later. I have changed mine a couple of times when I set up my network system in my house. Hox sounds fine :lol:
Hi, Could you please tell me the origin of the word Adamant. Thanks

Hi Marina,
really love your channel and a follow it really often. am a big fan.
I don’t know if this is too rude but I figured, most of your fan base being male, could you do a video on the word “penis”. Where does it come from? Also, why is it that in roman times all the statues were made with small penises and nowadays it’s all about bigger being better. Is there some history/reason behind it?
I wouldn’t know what to suggest for homework on this one. Well, that’s up to the teacher anyway…
Sorry I can’t do a video request but I don’t have a camera of any kind.
Hope you decide to do this word. It puzzles me a lot.
Thanks,
John Black

Should I even respond to stokes? Okay, but just this once. I thought it was short and to point. Most importantly, I felt that mijj, to whom I was speeking, would get that point. My point is that what he is doing right now does NOT look like any type of fun to me. I would be completely overwhelmed with the task, and I do not think I would get much of a reward from the (eventually) completion of the project.
However… It seems that mijj is enjoying his work. It is fun for him, and I am grateful that he shares his joy with all of us. I feel that most of us here like to witness good things in each others’ lives. Even though this task would be comparable to a litter box for me, mijj is excitedly frolicking about in his metaphoric sand box.
If the metaphors or the bastardized bother you, please simply ignore them. I will continue to offer what little support I have to my fellow HFWers. Please have a wonderful day :grin:
“bastardized cliches” I meant to say
erm .. stokes may have an opinion on expressions such as “one mans xxx is another man’s xxx” .. but .. so what?
lots of people have opinions about lots of stuff .. why bother with addressing that one?
I thought in the first picture that I didn’t see the fan tower in there anywhere.
i have to be careful not to put one’s back out when i do it
Yes, I can Hula Hoop. I look even more ridiculous than usual, though (you should [not] see me try to bowl.)
Hello, Marina.
The truth beneath the rose. Where does that phrase come from?
I love the word edit, I really thought they worshipped Forrest Gump for a minute.
Wham-O also trademarked the Frisbee – any thought on that word origin?
Please investigate: woozy talisman
Thanks
I Used to Hoola Hoop, It is a good way to Exercise, Everyone can do it.
Homework :cool:
I tried to Hula-Hoop once, never got the hang of it!
Hi sweetie ,
Love you,
Can you do one on the phrase: “Cuss like a sailor?”
Do sailors curse more than regular people?
Thanks,
Kisses
Kevin from Virginia…
“Cuss like a sailor?”
How is it possible in this age of information overload that not one site has Marina’s actual birth date? Every single one only shows December, 1980. Is she the KGB’s most lovely agent? What ever happened with Danny Bonaduce? Is Marina still in Hawaii? Oh, so many questions…
She older than the moutains didnt know she even existed un till I shined my Light upon her, let every coment and astaroid and metorite in her vicinty poke it in her, let me tell you she weren’t no virgin, said she just was gathering materials so she could have childern of her own, then had the audacity of saying she needed some water, so i sent one of my children all cloaked in water too her and gave her the water and told him too stay with her which he dutyfully, then tells me she needs me to stir the water for her to everything too going. I ask her to have a child for me and she tells me she ain’t good enough for me to have childern with her and tries to sterile herself and the child i sent to look over her every twenty eight days then says every thing everyone with eyes do see and with ears to hear with that she done it all by her self with no help from anyone else. Says if i want to have any children i can go fuck my mother and i tell she too old and has had her baby maker removed by some con artists that she invented. Now if that don’t think that isn’t a good enough reason to kill her and everything shes says she invented off and start over in a new galaxy somewhere else take all my water back take my light and my child i sent to stay with her away watch and learn something new.
Okay I have a word that I know will make it (or should if you truly care about english :P). I would like to know the where, when, and why of the word “Ain’t”. I know it may be a hard one but do it for your future husband. Oh but should you reject me…..
Please say it “AIN’T” so!!!
Winks Marina and Na Zdorovye!

and only if you can get a pink elephant to hula hoop
I was quite good as a child, now I still can but I get bored much faster :mrgreen:
since when do pink elephants hula hoop?
Ditto on the dress!! The green satin/silk dress looks great on you :cool:
The hula hoop made me think of one of my favourite video clips :grin:
for those who also won’t need them also,very dangerous for you tad pole
Wonderful dress! The perfect answer for those who think Marina cannot hold our attention if she does not show her amazing body. Another prejudice destroyed by our trusty teacher! keep on the wonderful job. It is funny, educational, modern and multimedial; and yes, you are beautiful too!
for those who also won’t need them also
amazing bathing suit :!:
for those who also won’t need them
can you hula hoop or your dog hula hoop?
I wonder about the origins of “Comrade” is? Hope you can help Marina!
Huh i guess that all depends on her decision if she wants to drag your soul out of that pit you gotton yourself into and have you in the normal fashion of woman having a live birth or making unnessary toys for those whom don’t need them.
for those who also won’t need them
Marina Twittered:
“…I am always running out of disk space.. just ordered my 5th 500GB!”
Yeahhhh Marina!!! :smile:
Disk space is cheap compared to fixing or recovering bad data. Marina, remember the rule of three. Archive all of your videos and stuff to three locations. Be sure to place in fire safe and some off-site. Do you know how many people don’t back up their data? A ton and then some. :sad:
see answer next post
All that bed hopping what more is there top say
i made up anew game….you play it with cheese puffs…and kidna like pick up sticks ou grab a hand full and take one at a time without moving or droping the rest…if you drop one you have to put it back in the bag …if you move one other than the one you eating you have to stop eating the one you on and eat the one you moved …if not
it won’t fly
I could hula hoop twenty years ago, now… :roll:
That was a good one Marine 5* :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: I wish I’d thought of that
danielpool see my comment below same for masco82
Its Marina danielpool :!:
i can use a hoop in a lot of ways…but where did the word or pohrase ” gung ho” come from…im texas so it might be gun ho….get back with you later….thanks
Don’t just hate it when a wife won’t listen to what their husbands tell them to do in case something were to happen to them?
Marina, men are physically incapable of supporting a hula hoop, just like women are incapable of doing the rings in gymnastics.
They could if allowed, just hang it on their shoulder and shake around like they was trying satisfy their significant other?
if you place an ordinary chair against the wall and have random people walk up and place their forehead to the wall over it and pick it up and stand back up..men cant…i can pick it up to my chest but once im there im either gonna drop it or crap my pants trying to stand….thats why mops and brooms scare us men so bad…eeek scary …..instead of washing dishes a man might go and get paper plates for his next meal of cheetos and vanillla icecream….lucky me i know how to cook…melt the ice cream first then add the cheetos…set oven for 400 and 30 mins later and a bit of salt and your good to go..rigth now ive scored big…i still got all the halloween candy we didnt give away so i have extras…for a rainy night…..just got to remember not to fall asleep with the lolly pop in my mouth and always check for razors…
for those who also won’t need them :cry:
Marina see he is married
cheapone
I don’t think I Hula Hoop that well, but I haven’t done so in a long time.
Huh i guess that all depends on her decision if she wants to drag your soul out of that pit you gotton yourself into and have you in the normal fashion of woman having a live birth or making unnessary toys for those whom don’t need them and for those who also won’t need them, you also huh?
M ordered her 5th 500GB drive? .. i hope she’s considering a big lan raid system instead of a bunch of drives.
thats not the icome tax she’s talking about
not so much in a pit as tangled in a gordian knot.
course .. when i say “hope” .. i mean “idly wonder if” .. because, well .. “hope” seems a little strong, doesn’t it.
Huh i guess that all depends on her decision if she wants to drag your soul out of that pit you gotton yourself into and have you in the normal fashion of woman having a live birth or making unnessary toys for those whom don’t need them and for those who also won’t need them
Can I hula hoop, sure! But I don’t look nearly as good as Marina doing it.
:???: Hey I have a really good question. What is the difference between contentment and contentious? Why are the pragmatics of these words complete opposites but are the same word?
Idiom Request: “Thrown for a loop”… as in being confused or surprised by something unexpected. Ex: Hearing that Bill won the lottery threw me for a loop.
ok you lot who use twitter … can you answer me a couple of questions …
.. til recently i was “following” Marina. Now … i couldn’t figure what use this was. I didn’t get emails when she made comments, so i had to depend on the “my tweets” thing here in this site. .. so .. being ignorant of hte ways of twitter, when i quit following Marina, what did i lose out on?
After seeing you post this, I thought I’d look at what M. had to say @ twitter & caught the latest post announcement. Noticed also on twitter that Barrack Obama is a Hotforwords follower… he hasn’t posted there since the election. I think that’s where he will announce first his new initiatives, as that’s where he will be able to guage the reactions of people who can figure out how to use twitter & while they are trying to figure out what all the tweeting’s about the new laws will have already taken effect.
If you don’t know what you lost out on, doesn’t matter then does it… would only matter if you knew, y’ know what I mean?
noooooooooo… i can check twitter anytime, and i can see M’s latest by looking at “my tweets” on the right.
what i mean is .. what do i lose by not “following” M? (i.e. “following” in the sense of twitter, not in general terms).
I still don’t get any emails from twitter, first of all I thought it was because I had the wrong email adress, fixed it, still nothing but its fine with me. I like the pics that M pops up on the twitster. Ijustine has some funny stuff in her pic section. Twitter doesn’t thrill me but I’m not lookin for a thrill, just a sence of accomplishment that I figured something out without asking my wife for help.
Cocomment I’ve had for awhile, doesn’t bother me as it does some, I don’t expect too much from it… just as long as my tea is hot & my family can track where i’ve been when I die. (research for the book)
M. only follows a few folks as too many would probably be totally confusing, unless of course one dedicated a good portion of ones time & brain to twitterlife.
“pics that M pops up on the twitster”
? … wassat? .. is that anything to do with twitpics?
maybe it’s disappointing to M if someone quits following … like they’re not interested any more. i think media type people like M feel this kind of thing is important. … i think i should follow again to show my support.
(.. proud to be a Marina supporter ..)
I don’t think Marina has loses sleep over you following her on twitter. She is not into guilting people into anything… that being said, I believe she is sensitive to being thought of as offensive, although she never intends to be. So many, tell her what to do, “you should… you shouldn’t…” and I know the vile comments will take a toll, even if they just make her heart a little harder. Might be the only way to survive this, for lack of a better word, “experiment” she has undertaken.
“…
hasloses sleep…”no .. i dont mean that M would consider “me” following on twitter as important .. i just mean the general idea of having lots of followers on twitter .. and lots of followers = lots of individuals including me, even though an individual like me is insignificant.
ah .. you think then that her abandoning this site is due to harsh and/or overly personal comments? .. do you think i’m a big contributer to this?
this is a horrible tangle i think … and, of course, M, though we worship her, contributes to the tangle by not being forthright so we don’t know what’s taken in jest or taken seriously. We’re not telepathic, you know.
in other words… if i’ve been crappy to her, and she hasn’t had the decency to rebuke or correct me leading me to think she’s taking it lightly, then she’s as much to blame for this as me. More so, in fact.
This is annoying the hell out of me. The idea that M requires telepathic sensitivity .. i hope this is just your delusion and that M doesn’t share this idea.
if i’ve been crappy to M, and she’s taken it hard, and that’s contributed to M’s not bothering with this site, then i’ll happily leave.
Marina seems to be quite capable of speeking her own mind. I believe she would speak up if somebody crossed the line with her. Her last post in this site was an apology to one of her students for not mentioning his name as contributing a word request. It was a small gesture, but I felt it was sincere and had a personal touch. It is all too easy for some people to get carried away with the anonymoty here, on the web(similar to driving cars), but I feel this site has a fairly personal group.
Don’t overthink… M. hasn’t abandonded anyone. She has the right to kick a little butt, if she chose to.
Wow… three things I love to watch, the sun, the surf & hoop talent.
Oh & if she shows up here, in the threads, great. If not, great too. At least they’re here to post on.
she has a right to kick but .. but she doesn’t … she should and hard when it deserves it .. but she doesn’t!
and that leaves room for endless doubt and uncertainty. If i saw her be hard on behaviour she didn’t like then i’d know if i’d crossed bounds because i know she’d bring me up on it, or let me alone. but she doesn’t … so i (or anyone else) don’t know – and so it spins out of control.
i dont think M knows how to be hard in a direct way. (and by hard, i dont mean emotional, i mean, clinically firm)
I hear you’re own mom talking to you through your conscience. I don’t think Marina is willing to take on the mother role for a bunch of folks from around the world… but she could hire my Mom :roll:
Oh when i said “vile comments” I wasn’t refering to you, I meant the youtube type stuff, sometimes it can be quite violent & disgusting. M says it doesn’t get to her anymore, but she musta built up an imunity or a real thick skin.
Dear Miss Orlova,
I cannot Hula Hoop. Maybe you could teach me?
YS,

what were you told would happen if you kept mashing fingers
The earliest trademark was in ’58. There are other companies shown here with cancelled TMs (including potatoes!) , but I don’t know if they got the boot because of Wham-o or how that works. Wham-o finally got religion in ’06 and trademarked Hula Hoop for almost everything under the sun. You’d think they would have done that long ago.
BTW, did you notice the shell game at 00:37? “I wonder what’s under this one? I wonder what’s under that one?” :-)
Whoops! That link times out, so you have to go tohttp://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&state=piklbs.1.1 and enter Search Term = hula hoop.
For want of a space, I must try again. http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/gate.exe?f=searchss&s tate=piklbs.1.1 and enter Search Term = hula hoop.
Well, that one timed out, too. So you have to go to http://www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm, click on Search (at the upper right), click on (Basic) and then enter Search Term = hula hoop.
They don’t make it easy to link to, do they? Your tax dollars at work.
So sharp and an A+ forest green dress :wink: Tech town 50′s style and hippie power—Laka Laka Laka,,, trademark to not be so humble as to dance the hula or just hula with your arms :lol: Islands
i notice M comments in the YTube threads but not here.
does that mean she’s not paying attention to this site?
i’m not sure how that makes me feel. .. i think i like this site for what it is, but M’s presence makes a difference – gives it an aura.
it’s not the same if she’s nowhere to be seen.

Too much hoopla.
We’ve been thrown for a hoop
targeted for termination is the correct exspression
I can hula hoop and thanks for the history behind the use of the hula dance.
Hows your helper?
What are you talking about? :neutral:
Looks like your caught in the middle of my two comments 1 above and 1 below
I would once again to humbly submit my request for the word auspicious
It comes from “auspex”, in ancient Rome the fortune teller who would look at the bird’s fly to predict favourable/unfavourable events to come. “spex” is defenitely related to “spicere” (to look at), more known in composites like “inspicere” (to look inside), the word inspector being the most common derivate. “au” in my opinion comes from “avis” (or maybe both words have a common ancestor). “avis” is Latin for bird, today used in words like “aviation”. So now it stands for “wishes” and in particular “best wishes”. Not differently fom the Italian “auguri”, also related to Roman priests/fortune teller.
I have not tried to hula hoop in years, but with the right instructor I might be able to learn.
I have ordered the calender. I look forward to its arrival. Hopefully I ordered soon enough for the autographed version.
noooooooooo!! … M has descended into producing porn! … she’s clearly parading a proud nipple in the holding pic for the vid!
(.. looks away in shame ..) :oops:
:shock:
so .. how come you didn’t highlight this assault on common decency, che?
I could not have worded it so eloquently as you :grin:
but you did!! … you even did the drooly tongue thing!
you just refuse too listen, do you know what she has planned?
yes, i do.
Time for USA to pay her income tax
better pay your income tax
I am not paying for you

Well, if that was my home, I’d be proud, too.
If you live in the USA it is your home
this is one of those f*ck her or repair her deals no fixed involved
Okay now, seriously — what the *beep* is happening with the iTunes version?!?
It hasn’t been updated for the last four weeks now…!? :shock:
This is the most convenient way for people to watch the videos and you have just stopped supporting it or what else is the matter…?!?
I’d hate to have to say goodbye to Marina, but if she’s not on iTunes anymore, that’s it then… :cry:
Please let me know what’s going on here…! Thanks…!!
I believe that she updates iTunes once a month. You may want to contact one of the TAs for more info. Click on the “Contact” tab above, and then follow the link to the TA and leave a message there… or… find a comment here by Capman911 or Captain Jack and leave a message in reply. You should hear back from that TA soon.
Actually the iTunes channel used to be updated on a regular basis, whenever new videos became available…! Then it just stopped on Oct. 10th or so — and hasn’t been updated since…
Anyway, I did contact Captain Jack, here’s what came back:
So, yeah, I do understand that everyone is busy…but I don’t understand that they are too busy to commnunicate something like that…!? :???:
Instead of leaving iTunes users in the dark for a month now a simple news posting here on the site or a mail message to the subscribers would have been nice and also professional…
It’s just a bit disappointing that they didn’t seem to care, I guess… :sad:
I wanted to respond here to inform everyone Marina is aware and working on the iTunes issue.
mangaphreak said,
You mention “They”. Marina manages this whole website herself. She has no staff for a site that gets 100,000 or so hits a day. She collects the word request, does the research (which takes many hours), films the video lesson (this also takes hours), edits the videos, uploads videos, reads and comments on her site, works on “backend” issues with her site, searches for upgrade to add to the site, debugs the new upgrades, working on getting calendars out, working on TV and Radios interviews, oh i could go on for days. All this takes up her a full day and then some. She does all this by herself! :shock: Now you know why she needed a vacation. :wink:
Making a posting was in the works. I just received notice about the iTunes change about a week or so ago. It was dropped low on the priority list because of other very urgent issues that had to be dealt with. The work load in the past few weeks was unbelievable. :roll: I apologize for not getting a post out on my part.
BTW, I am a volunteer at HFW. I don’t received one red cent for the work I do here. I help HFW in my spare time which has been very limited lately. I operate a full time business in training future captain’s. Because of the recession, I have been working very hard in keeping it float. I cleared my December schedule of classes so I should have more time to help out more here at HFW.
The TA’s for HFW and also our teacher Marina do care very much. You just caught us at our worse. :cry: If anyone finds a issue that we might have overlooked please email me and I will answer it as soon as I can or forward it to Marina. I don’t have much time to read 500 comments a day, but I do read all my emails. Mike (HFW other TA, aka Capman911) is on the site daily and can assist in the comment section. Just reply to any of his comments and the site will generate an email that will notify him of your comment.
I hope this clears up some questions. :mrgreen:

i can hula hoop. can you swizzle stick?
A swizzle stick is more than something to stir your drink?
Do tell Damien
its notin more. i’m a little tipsy and the word sounded interesting at the time….
maybe we should ask for the word origin for gargle?
Gargle sounds like an onomatopoeia. Good request
Word Request – gargle
Hi Marina,
I was wondering what the origin of the phrase “I bet you dollars to donuts”. I can hula hoop but not that well
thanks and very sexy swimsuit :wink:
Marina,
to answer your question I can Hula Hoop, although I have not hula hooped for many years. :neutral:
I have to say that is a very sexy swimsuit! :cool:
hi you all
Fab Four – Hippy Hippy Shake :mrgreen:
I haven’t hula’ed since the last luau – heh heh!
But I like to watch Marina hula-hula (ella-ella) :grin:
Sorry, dear teacher, I don’t think real men can use a hula hoop…at least I can’t. But I am glad that real women do, and quite well, I may add. The natural gyration of your hips proves my point exactly! :razz:
those thumbnail links to the vids the end of the video .. is there any way those could be available up front?
Dear ÑÐ¾Ð²ÐµÑ€ÑˆÐµÐ½Ð½Ð°Ñ Marina, That nice dark green dress looks like it might have come from Russia, but in Russia, they don’t make skirts that short, do they? :sad:
It would have been nice to see you whirl a Hula-hoop in that light green swimsuit of yours! :razz:
To answer your question, I don’t Hula-hoop. I never used that toy. I suspect you didn’t have many toys as a child, either. Did you have any toys?
Your dear student, seesixcm6
M doesn’t make comments in these threads any more.
is it because there’s nothing to comment on, or has she drifted away?
Marina I like the way you do the hula hoop – it is very educational! I find the origin of words fascinating – your
classes are so interesting

(.. bawdiness alert ..)
(.. for some reason i can get this to play ok on exporer, but not firefox..)
I got it to work on FF through Quicktime it was in MP4, but they looked like they were melting. But you could tell they were doing it doggie style.
well .. attempting to, maybe.
try it in explorer. it’s supposed to be funny .. but maybe not so much if they’re melting.
Here’s your melting people. :lol: :lol:
http://i37.tinypic.com/adjdhc.jpg
is that firefox or explorer?
you could get the melting effect if you jumped partway into the vid without passing a key frame.
It’s FF. I started it from the beginning where the two people were sitting at a table.
i had a little read up on quicktime in Firefox .. it’s all messed up .. you’ll have to use Explorer if you want to see it.
Yeah, I thought it was a zombie flick at first, due to the “melting” effect.
When I was a little one, I won the local hula-hoop contest for gong the longest.
That was in a small town in North Dakota.
thats a cute outfit you have going on there, you look great as always. Marina, you are the lovliest most gorgeous woman I have ever seen, I would do anything for you. as for the homework, no i cant hula hoop. wow that was a really severe shift subject matter on my part huh?
i bet i would do more extremely silly things than you to prove my love for Marina!
i’d … i’d … fill a kettle and boil it for Marina, i love her so much!
(goes into kitchen to boil some water to prove it)
Boy, you are off your nut :!: :!: :!:
see? .. you’re not dedicated at all. You’re far too sensible.
Theres nothing sensible about me, hell my nickname is psycho. besides you dont have to be a nut to be dedicated.
Though not an expert in anatomy, I believe there is a basic difference in hip structure between men and women that makes it relatively easy for some women and close to impossible for men to use the hula hoop.
But as others have noted it is fascinating to watch.
It is also interesting to note as the hula hoop comes back into vogue every few years, and then fade ( almost ) away for a few years.
Just like the Slinky Toy. :lol:
Marina ….. patiently waiting for my ‘tiki idol’ :razz:
This is no joke friends so be aware of e-mails.
Warning: Financial crisis is a goldmine for online criminals
Criminals are taking advantage of the confusion over recent bank mergers in the United States to send out fake e-mail messages in an attempt to steal your personal information.
You’ve probably heard of phishing scams: fraudulent e-mail messages or fake Web sites designed to steal your identity. Scam artists “phish” in an attempt to persuade people to disclose sensitive information.
According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, new bank merger scams might say something like this:
“We recently purchased ABC Bank. Due to concerns for the safety and integrity of our new online banking customers, we have issued this warning message… Please follow the link below to renew your account information.”
Or this:
“During our acquisition of XYZ Savings & Loan, we experienced a data breach. We suspect an unauthorized transaction on your account. To ensure that your account is not compromised, please click the link below to confirm your identity.”
If you click these links, you might be taken to a fake Web site designed for the purpose of identity theft.
For more information about this scam, see Consumers Warned to Avoid Fake E-mails Tied to Bank Mergers.
Thanks for the PSA capman. we really gotta watch out for this stuff
Also Fox news did a story about a Nigerian scam on Facebook,
how they would pretend to be a friend and say they were stuck somewhere and needed money to get home.
I’ll go look for the article.
If ANY bank emails you asking for any kind of assistance, assume it is an attempt to defraud you. If they suspect problems, they know people to contact. Even responding with a ‘NO’ is a mistake; you will have confirmed an active email address.
If by chance it SEEMS to be from a bank you DO have an account with, contact the bank with a number you know is theirs ( ie NOT one from the suspect email ).
I admit I don’t understand how some of these scams work, but if you avoid them you can avoid being scammed.
I agree Orion. If I don’t recognize an email I delete it. Most people know who or what sends them emails, but then you have the people that will just open anything sent to them. I keep my email blocker set to strong. If I see a junk email I will look at who it’s from then delete it.
I Goggled Nigerian scams, it seems you-tube has an explanation to many types of scams.
Got a interesting email, says its from my telephopne co. that provides my email box… will shut me down in 24 hours if I don’t email my personal info to them today. I will phone them tommorow to see if that is neccesary… claims my email is being used to send spam but the email showed up in my spam catagory… hmmm spam from my provider interesting.
Beware of fake warnings for fake E-mails! All of the merging banks are sending out valid inquiries and if you don’t answer them completely, you will lose all the money in your account. These fake warnings are an attempt to cheat you out of your life’s savings, so ignore them.
Signed,
The Nigerian Chamber of Commerce
That’s a pretty I guess it’s a night shirt you have on. It looks like it is silk. It’s the same color as my great room which is Forest green with oak trim. :smile:
wow !… that was a very nice (damn! that word’s ruined) .. erm .. pleasurable presentation … touched all qualities just right, i think.
i liked the colour combination too .. green and gold! .. i’m sure it must mean something.
When’s M’s birthday? .. maybe it suits her birthsign.
“maybe it suits her birthsign”,,I dunno,but,I’d like to sign Her birthday suit! :grin:
I think she once noted that her birthday is in December.
Which means she’s a Sagittarius or a Capricorn… you can search for your own information to determine suitability.
She said December, so we will have to celebrate the whole month. That way we know we got the right day. She even told us the year 1980 so why not the date. That’s so so so not nice to us.
I hope it is December 21
Oh, yeah. She should put her birthdate out on the Web right next to her SSN.
I think she should run a sweepstake to guess her birthday.
The winner could get … er … imagination failure.
I’m betting it’s the 8th of December.
I’ll PLay: 10DEC1980 :grin:
Nope,used to when I was a kid but never was that good at it.
Now what they need to make is a Pele Hula Hoop,,see how good a person is when the hoop is on fire!! :lol: Pele is the goddes Of Fire,or,volcanoes,or sumthin like that.
tryant
I thought Pele was the Brazilian god of soccer. :mrgreen:
Oh yeah,forgot about *that* Pele! Wonder how a Hula Hoop with soccer balls all around it would work?
koff
I never got interested in the Hola Hoop. Not coordinated enough to work such an instrument of making oneself look ridicules if you can’t work it. :roll:
Gee, Capman, I thought it was the POINT – Heck, I can’t help looking ridiculous when it works!! :mrgreen:
Homework: Yes, but it is not a scene suitable for those with weak hearts, weak stomachs, or those who are NOT legally blind. :grin:
hey Fianchetto .. do you know rosiecheeks is hunting you?
… and are you aware of my theory that rc is Marina i disguise?
Wow! My very own stalker! :shock: I feel like a celebrity :mrgreen:
Hmm… Marina or not, seemed pretty strange for her to declare her “like” for me in such proximity to the word request for “Hyperbole”…
I want to feel flattered and even return the kindness, but not currently in the mood to play the fool.
Hi Marina,
Would you please show us some more hula-hooping? Would you do this while balancing a pineapple on you head.
Please please please…. :lol:
I can’t really hula hoop for my life. I can get about 2-3 rotations but that’s it lol.
Very interesting, but I wonder if you know the meaning of the word ‘cockchafer’.
Marina,
Nice to see you up off the floor.
Makes me think of “The Hudsucker Proxy.” It’s funny that I’ve never put two and two together- the hula hoop and hula dancing. Just one of those things that slipped under the radar I guess. :lol:
I was reading about the Roman Emperor Nero and it was said that he ordered the murder of his mother because she was conspiring against him. I would like to know the origin of the word “Matricide.” Has it been derived from the Russian мать? I hope you can investigate. Thanks. :smile:
Dang I just missed this one by a mile. :oops:
If putting it around my waist and giving it a spin and watching it fall to the floor counts as doing it, then yes I can Hula Hoop.
But Ms M. my talent would better be in watching intently as you demonstrate.
I wholy agree Wetsuit :twisted:
*ZZZZ*
any minions left?
They’re all “right”
Define minion… what you’re meaning?
No I can’t hula hoop, but I prefer to watch you demonstrate how to hula some more :grin:
I think you misspelled “forest” in the video.
Yes, I can hula hoop… but I’d much rather watch you demonstrate… again, and again… :mrgreen:
no I don’t think she did
Aha! She corrected it!
The best time I had with a Hula Hoop was with my girlfriend You should try it with a friend!
:smile:
Howdy
Hidey-Ho?
dude no
Wham O
I got here before the video did. :smile:
:cool:
How d’you manage that?
