    Hey Marina,

    I’m afraid I haven’t any idea what synonyms there are for “blitz”. Sports really isn’t my thing.

    HI Marina that was a good one 5 * I Like the green screen stuff you are getting very good at it :lol:

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    A successful blitz is called a sack. I don’t know if that counts.

    Rabbit ears couldn’t pick up NBC, so I missed the game.

    Oh yes! The steelers champs again. the 3 clowns I betted against better fork over the money tomorrow afternoon. Truthfully no matter who won, it was a very good game :smile:

  • pandion

    I can’t think of any other terms for “blitz” right now, but I do wonder, Marina, if you watched the game, and if you enjoy football at all?

    Dear совершенная Марина Орлова, That was the shortest, fastest video of yours that I ever saw! It was only 50 seconds! (You know, I’d like to enjoy you for at least three minutes!) :razz:
    The blitz is also called a “red dog” and was named after the inventer of the tactic.
    The definition isn’t exactly “everyone” on the defensive team rushing the qoarterback. It actually is selective. During a passing play, the team on defense will normally have their three or four front defensive lineman rush the quarterback. As a surprise, the defensive team might also have a linebacker or even a safety also rush the quarterback, but the total number involved in a “blitz” might be five or six. The rest of the eleven players on defense will cover possible receivers. If a blitz” is successful, they will “sack” the quarterback. That is, tackle the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage. :smile:
    Today’s Superbowl game was very exciting and enjoyable. In the halftime show, Bruse Springsteen sang Born to run”, just like Che Volay wanted. The Steelers won, as expected, but only by four points. For a moment, I thought the Cardinals might win. It certainly wasn’t a dull game. :grin:
    Also, there were many new TV ads by Pepsi, Budweiser, Coca-cola and others. It was fun to watch everything! :razz:
    I hope you will enjoy football much better by next year’s Superbowl!

    Linebacker rush or safety (back) rush in addition of the front downmen rush. This is a hard word to substitute in football vernacular. Well the weekend is almost over thanks though for the thought.

    Looks like Gorby doesn’t understand when he fumbles the ball he’s suppose to try to recover his fumble., He didn’t even try to gofor the ball.

    Your hair looks good up. You look lovely as always however.

  • BillyB

    Did you watch the game Marina?? Last year you didn’t do any football words, this year… good job, hope it interested you.
    Half the game I was out, moving a dresser for my son’s girlfriend. Ran out of gas in the truck, before I got started. Found out why when I noticed gas leaking out the of the fuel pump onto the persons driveway that she was buying the dresser off of. Got home & atempted to finish installing a light above the washing machine… blew the circuit out of the electrical box. Moral is “thou shalt comit no work on Super Bowl Sunday” Caught the end of the game… Cards’ came that close, aye aye aye…
    Best way to counter a “blitz”, run a “draw play”, or a “screen pass”.

    Marina,

    I discoverd you Youtube yesterdayand I registered on your website today. I was surprized to discover that the word [bastard] had not been requested. It is a common insult, and, or exclamation, and I am completely ignorant of it’s origin. I will not google this word unless you do not answer this request for an investigation relatively soon.

  • excited4etymology

    I haven’t watched the video yet but I know that blitz came from the word blitzkrieg…a war tactic used in WWI(I?).

  • http://www.youtube.com/cesarhuesca cesarhuesca

    Hey Marina!!

    What about the word [intraprenuer]?

    And its correct applications?

  • excited4etymology

    Sack…is another word for blitz.

  • http://cargalmathbooks.com jmcargal

    No; a “sack” is when the quarterback is tackled behind the line of scrimmage. That word was coined by Deacon Jones the great defensive end for the LA Rams in the 60s and 70′s.

  • excited4etymology

    or as my Chinese Dad says, “Zap” him. lol.

  • http://cargalmathbooks.com jmcargal

    My impression is that the word “blitz” entered the English vocabulary in 1940. The war started of course in Sept 1939. But at first there was the “phony war”. Once Germany started moving through Holland into France then the west understood blitzkrieg.

    I would like to request the word [ husband ].

    Please note that I am interested in BOTH meanings. Not just the spousal meaning, but also the one which defines [ husband ] as “to be thrifty and prudent”.

    I’m sorry you’re team lost. It was a really gg.It looks like another SB upset for the 2nd straight year but the cards d let it slip in the final minutes of the game. All that’s left is the pro bowl then the football season is officially over. Anyways, the Chicago Black hawks looked very good last Saturday against the San Jose Sharks who are very tough to beat at home.

    Great Lesson, Marina.

    When I was a kid playing dirt lot football ouside Pittsburgh, we used code names for some of the more commonly-used plays. We referred to the standard blitz play as a Red Square and when I asked why they whispered, “because there’s a lot of rushin’ goin’ on.” Of course, how stupid of me!

    Word request: [compound].

    I’d be remiss in my curmudgeonly duties were I not to point out that “lightning” and “lightening” are a noun and a verb respectively. At which point I should probably exercise my own much-needed advice and “lighten” up a couple notches. Nazdorovye!

    HOMEWORK… ["DOGPILE"]

    dogpile v. [Usenet: prob. fr. mainstream "puppy pile"] When many people post unfriendly responses in short order to a single posting, they are sometimes said to “dogpile” or “dogpile on” the person to whom they’re responding. For example, when a religious missionary posts a simplistic appeal to alt.atheism, he can expect to be dogpiled. It has been suggested that this derives from U.S. football slang for a tackle involving three or more people; among hackers, it seems at least as likely to derive from an `autobiographical’ Bugs Bunny cartoon in which
    a gang of attacking canines actually yells “Dogpile on the rabbit!”. :shock: :grin: :mrgreen: :cool:

    The standard IBM keyboard double quote (a.k.a. APL quote) is HTML entity " (“). There are also available the kind of quotes you would see in print media which are curly and are different for the start and end of a quote, namely entity “ (“) and ” (”). You guys are somehow entering the latter. This can be seen by right-clicking the blog whitespace, choosing View Source and then use Ctrl-F to search for the text nearby the quote marks. Once nearby, you can see the HTML entities present.

    Because the IBM keyboard gives the APL quote and no other, I am interested to know exactly what keystrokes you are using to get the right-leaning marks.

    PS: To see where, start Google Earth and fly to “san vito dei normanni br, italy”. Now head east along highway SP1bis until you get half the way to Brindisi. Look for a big circle (like a crop circle) south of the road, the center of which is at 40° 38′ 50.92″N and 17° 50′ 24.80″E. I spent a year and a half working in the L-shaped building just to the south of the circle. The climate was identical to that of Sacramento, and the countryside, except for the flatness of the land, was close to that of the country side around here. (Join the Air Force and see the world.)

    I’d prefer the actual comment number, because I’ll be able to see much easier, when and where people added new replies to.

    I don’t need a number x.1 to tell me that a reply is linked to the comment above. It’s redundant…

    In my opinion, adding the actual comment number in replies, is a practical way to keep track of them. Not to mention that it will also take up less text space.

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

    I think its beautiful :smile:

  • http://toastytech.com/guis/bobboot1.gif Bob

    If you want to see the order of posting of comments, you can look at the time/date in blue under the commenter’s name, though it would be easier if it was in the international format of YYYY/MM/DD/HH:mm. :smile:

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

    My twitter is $9

  • Chemikal

    But what’s the point of having numbered comments, if I still have to look at the tiny blue date, and do the math according to GMT? And who knows where everybody lives around the world? I can only do the math, for the people I know. (and the only ones that I’d bother to do it for, I might add) :)

  • Chemikal

    91.10.1.1.1 what does that even mean? That I’m the first to reply to the first reply of the first reply of the 10th reply of the 91st comment. Do I really need to know that?

  • http://toastytech.com/guis/bobboot1.gif Bob

    I can’t imagine why anyone would need to know that, but most of those who bothered to reply seem to like it.
    I was only pointing out that, the way it is, you effectively have both options.
    I don’t get your point about doing the math – all the time/dates are given in California time so you have your time-line without having to know in which time-zone anyone lives. You don’t really think I’m awake at two o’clock in the morning, do you? :lol:

  • http://toastytech.com/guis/bobboot1.gif Bob

    From the O.E.D.
    Antinomy 1. A contradiction in a law or between two equally binding laws.
    2. A contradictory law, statute or principle; an authoritative contradiction.
    3. A contradiction between conclusions which seem equally logical, reasonable or necessary; a paradox; intellectual contradictoriness.

    For example, from the Bible:-
    Thou shalt love thy neighbour.
    Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours wife. (Who is also thy neighbour.) :lol:

  • Chemikal

    So you’re saying that the numbers are supposed to be more aesthetic, than practical? :D

    Oh yea, I forgot I only need to add my GMT difference to the time displayed here.
    It’s funny, the math and coffee I consumed these past 2 days, finally brought me down today. I couldn’t even wake up to go to my exam! :)

    What would be really useful would be to use the ‘div id = “comment-108012″ ‘
    number, so that people could more easily link to previous comments, instead of having to highlight the comment and then view the “selection source” and then figure out the html.

  • harpriffer

    This system is very logical. Stick with it. It makes it easier to refer to, and locate, a particular comment as well. Sorta like the Dewey decimal system. Or, yikes, the income tax code.

  • harpriffer

    Yes, quite possible. Though I’ll bet on the easy explanation… a Kentucky accent applied to the word ‘hollow’. But when, and why, did the rest of us (and mapmakers) start to write it and accept it as ‘holler’? And do the hillbillies hear themselves saying ‘hollow’ or ‘holler’ and wonder why it says holler on the map instead of hollow?
    Anyway, if you do find yourself in a holler one day and you start to hear banjo music … run!

    Top of the Morning to you BillyB,
    Yes, the iPhone is new and have had it for under two weeks. It’s awesome and I’m having a blast with it. It’s perfect when I’m away from home whereby I can keep in touch as I did in the above comment.

    I just got home a little while ago and to answer your question; would a picture work for you? Check this out. And, yes indeed, I can vote in the SexyGeek contest, AND, I did. :mrgreen:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/CantwrCymreig Evan Owen

    James, if you can take a break from computer science, here are a few more quick facts about our teacher’s native country:
    • Russia is the biggest country in the world in land area (but not in population)
    • From 1917 to 1991, it was part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the largest and dominant country in said Union. Now you know what the Beatles song was about. :razz:
    • From 1941 to 1945, the USSR fought a war with Germany called the Great Patiotic War. (We call it World War II.) They lost 6,000,000 soldiers and a comparable number of civilians. The leader of the USSR at that time was Joseph Stalin.
    • The economic system of the USSR was called Communism, a state-directed economy.
    • The US and the USSR were enemies during the Cold War of 1945-1991, but we get along OK with the Russians now.
    • In Russian this is called “ещё разз и ещё разз”: :razz: :razz: :razz: :razz:

    Why don’t people make snow women too?
    They would be original and nice to look at.
    Or maybe people think that if they decide to build a snow woman, they would have to get her accessories such as a Prada handbag, a D&C belt, Armani gloves, a Versace jacket and matching Gucci shoes, instead of the traditional broom and carrot nose! :D

    Look at what you wrote: “last year’s news for us.”, “your discovery”, and a tongue-in-cheek “appreciated your gesture” while laughing at Marina with a smiley.

    Now get this clearly: Marina’s knowledge, skills and ability, technical and otherwise, are self-acquired and way superior to your or any of your professors’ skills. She knew about copying links ages ago — that was not something she “discovered” today; today she noticed Bob’s comment indicating that he did not know about copying and pasting links; and I suppose there was a time when a comment did not have a field, such as the date field, that was a link to the comment. Also, with the new numbering system, one can refer to a comment in one’s text by a simple, easily grasped, easily looked up and typed number rather than by cutting and pasting the multi-digit un-graspable, number.

    I totally agree; I’ve got those eyes on one of my desktops too.
    Bob, here is a brief tutorial for capturing screenshots (in windows) without having to invest in any extra fancy software.
    1. Play the video until you find the frame you like and hit the “pause” button.
    2. Enlarge the shot to full screen.
    3. Hit the “Print Screen” button on your keyboard. This copies the whole screen to the clipboard.
    4. Now, get out of full screen mode and open up “Microsoft Paint” with a new (blank) window. (Microsoft Paint is on every Windows computer)
    5. Paste the contents of the clipboard by pressing ‘ctrl’+V.
    6. Finish up by cropping out the parts of the picture that you don’t want, e.g. black bits, borders, toolbars etc.

    I hope I haven’t assumed too much knowledge and that it helps you. After you’ve done it once it’s very simple and quick. :smile:

    While I my earned repose do keep.

    I like the idea behind the schemata: outlining form to arrange thoughts or to present an argument. As with any indivual schema, though, it has its limitations. String logic can very easily be manipulated into circular logic. Such as: 1) Maia is my cat, 1.01) Maia has kittens, 1.02) Maia’s kittens are my kittens. 2) Only a cat can have kittens. 3) I am a cat. :razz:
    All too often, we see this type of manipulation in the political arena, from the pulpit, and in the classroom.

    It is, though, a good process for arranging one’s own thoughts, or to share them systematically, as long as the presentor is honest with the process and does not intentionally distort the information.

    Those are two different words. Whichever one you want, you must enclose them in square brackets as shown at the top of the lesson.

    Any words not so enclosed will be discarded into the Unimportant Word Bin. When the bin is full, it is dumpled into a 20-foot container; when that is full, it is shipped to India, where the words are manually torn apart for the individual letters. The letters are cleaned, pressed and pasted onto the pages of textbooks which are used in local schools. Everyone is encouraged to use words with Qs, Zs and Xs, as they are in short supply right now. For example, them have to use sentences like, “Jane kwickly walked to the soo where sebras play the sylophone.” It’s so sad. Help stamp out ingnorancy!

    In my defense, there was no tongue-in-cheek action involved when I wrote that I appreciated it. I did however attempt to make fun of her with the word “discovery”, because this post is long overdue.
    It’s been months since the feature was available, and as you may know, we help each other solve problems of any nature, right here on the website. Weather or not Marina is present to provide guidance herself.
    What motivated me to exaggerate that she has just made a discovery, is the fact that she rarely hangs out to comment and reply, like the rest of us. And that is because she is also the site’s ADMIN, and she (unlike us) has to make the hardest posts around, and I don’t mean comments or forum topics, I mean the Lessons!
    So please don’t imply that I don’t recognize(or appreciate) Marina’s knowledge, skills, or otherwise.
    I don’t know how you interpreted it as an attack on her persona. You should know better by know, than to think that I’d want to harm her, or make her think less of herself, and especially not on account of something as ridiculous as link pasting!
    OK, maybe I didn’t choose my words well, I didn’t stop to re-read the comment, and didn’t think it through, and I’m sorry for the mess.

    I was being serious. Do you really put a “pe” on shop? Here it is considered a kind of cutesy and pretentious thing, like putting an e on the end of point. Real estate developers do that kind of thing, e.g. Quail Pointe, as though it has a grander sound to it. It just seems a bit irritating to me.

    Bsomebody, I agree with what you say. This type of manipulation through propaganda and publicity is practiced by pretty much all politicians, businessmen and other so-called self-proclaimed “leaders”, and most people can’t even spot the embedded fallacies into them.

    You would probably be interested by Kurt Gödel’s incompleteness theorems. They challenge pretty much all kinds of logic, fuzzy or not.

    Having said this, you also have to remember that not all thoughts can be shared systematically. Maia, in your example, for instance, cannot systematically share her thoughts about hunger with you. But she’ll have her own way to tell you that she’s hungry. A few well-placed “meow” will probably establish the communication both-ways. If it doesn’t work, well, she still has her claws to pinch your legs. :smile:
