December 10th is a special day for me as well…not because it too is my 47th birthday, but because I also get to share this special place in my heart with someone as wonderful, caring, thoughtful, and just out-right beautiful as you, Marina! Enjoy your magical day, and I’ll eat an extra slice of my birthday cake in your honor!

It’s your birthday too? How cool!

Yeah, it is. But I wish I was celebrating 29 again!

You’re just celebrating it for the 18th time. It just doesn’t feel like it hu? Just lie to yourself. That’s what I do. :mrgreen:

HB2U Arf Arf!!…sniff sniff…is that KMart you’re wearing?

Again, a most joyous happy birthday
Marina. Sorry for the last minute video
kludge. I had actually been working
on two projects for your birthday for
the last three months. My technology
vision was bigger than the alloted
training curve. I will surprise you
yet with some kewl ideas I have.
I’m sure you got my lame attemt at
singing Bad Romance.

In the video I wanted to include
something of critical importance,
but I did not have the time to do the
tight editing. I’ll send it to you in
hard copy and you can tell me if
you want me to do a separate video.

Forever and my Best to you,
.:k:.

No, it doesn’t feel like 29 anymore…hope Marina never feels the aches and pains I feel at 47…LOL!

Happy Birthday! http://bit.ly/73L0dg

Good video; thanks for making it. What’s the Russian song?

Dear Marina,
Happy Birthday! So many people love you, you’ll never be alone, ever! I wish everything wonderful for you! :razz:

Hi Hs4Mm,
The Russian song is a birthday song and my guess is that it is as popular in Russia as the Happy Birthday song in the US.

Marina of course would be the expert to talk about that song.
I am just a beginning student in learning the Russian language and learning about the Russian culture.

The name of the song is:
Пусть бегут неуклюже
which translates to: “Let(s) run clumsily”

———————————————————
Here are the lyrics in the Cyrillic alphabet
———————————————————
Пу́сть бегу́т неуклю́же
Пешехо́ды по лу́жам,
А вода́ — по асфа́льту реко́й.
И нея́сно прохо́жим
В э́тот де́нь непого́жий,
Почему́ я́ весёлый тако́й.

Припе́в:
Я́ игра́ю на гармо́шке
У прохо́жих на виду́ …
К сожале́нью, де́нь рожде́нья
То́лько ра́з в году́.

Прилети́т вдру́г волше́бник
В голубо́м вертолёте
И беспла́тно пока́жет кино́.
С днём рожде́нья поздра́вит
И, наве́рно, оста́вит
Мне́ в пода́рок пятьсо́т «эскимо́».

Припе́в

———————————————————
Here is the Google translation
The Birthday Song
———————————————————
Let run clumsily
Pedestrians in puddles,
And the water – on the asphalt river.
And it is not clear to passers
On this day, tempestuous,
Why am I so happy.

Chorus:
I play the harmonica
In full view of passers-by …
Unfortunately, the birthday
Only once a year.

Arrive suddenly magician
In the blue helicopter
And free movie show.
Happy Birthday congratulate
And probably leave
I have a gift hundred “Eskimo”.

Refrain
———————————————————

——————————————————————————-
Here are the Russian lyrics using the Latin alphabet
——————————————————————————-
Poost begoot neooklyooshl
Peshehodee po loosham
Ee voda po asfaltoo rekoi
Ee neyasno prohosheem
V etot dyen nepogoshee
pochemoo ya vesyelee takoi

Chorus: sing twice
Ee ya eegrayoo na garmoshkye
Oo prohosh na veedoo
K soshaleneeyoo dyen roshdneeya
Tolko raz v godoo
———————————————————

Russian Birthday Traditions
Instead of a birthday cake, many Russian children receive a birthday pie with a birthday greeting carved into the crust. In school, teachers often give a gift to the student having a birthday. Children usually will play a game that features a clothesline. What they do is hang prizes from the clothesline and each guest gets to cut down a prize to take home.

that was so funny good job pk!
love it. : )

congratulation’s marina.

Thank you Rijk,
I had a blast making it and there was so much more I was working on, but just couldn’t squeeze it in due to my work load. I’ve got way too many interests and just not enough time.

Hello! Many Happy Birth Day wishes to you Marina. Hope your special day is the best ever for you. You are suppose to look older, not younger (sorry, naff and creepy I know!) How are you going to celebrate, love to see what goes on! Have much fun, biggest kiss to you X

Love you always, you keep me alive and kicking! Since September with out a home, have met some very wonderful souls in desperate times, am so grateful for all I have! Especially Jason who has allowed me to stay in his shoe box room when it gets really cold out side. All being well, new home coming soon too :)

Posting prezzie for you soon, its not in VHS or Betamax!!

Be well, love you more than ever :) XOXO

;-) Happy Birthday Marina :!:

Happy birthday my dearest teacher Marina.

This is my favorite song! Love you! And thank you again! xoxo

Do you still listen to this one? :razz: frankie vallie-beggin (pilooski re-edit)
:smile:

And PK thought “Bad Romance” was your favorite song.
Even though he didn’t guess right, he still managed to get your favorite song in the video. What are the odds, huh? :-)

B.day related joke:
Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most, live the longest. :mrgreen:
Enjoy yours!

I’m still rocking out to the Russian Happy Birthday song at the end of the video. :-)

PK, that was so sweet. Besides simply being a cool vid. It was just-well, sweet. Thanks for expressing what this technologically ignorant redneck feels about the Lady. You truly rock.

Again, Happy Birthday to you Marina – hope you are enjoying the celebration in NYC!

And Karl, very interesting use of the animation in the vid! How did you do that?

I’ve never seen something quite like that…Jack and I looked almost real! ;-) :lol:

Nicely done guys…

Hi Dalek,

All credit goes to Karl for production and Jack for his clip and posting.

I’m glad I could contribute a 7 sec clip… :smile:

7 seconds of fame…

Happy Birthday Marina! \o/

That leaves me 14 Minutes and 53 Sec more to look forward to…if you believe Andy Worhol… ;-)

Happy Birthday, Marina! Nurture the beauty inside, and what changes outside will not matter.

happy birthday my luv:) :cool:

Oh I thought you just turned 28, my mistake.

Isn’t a woman in Russia who is 30 and unmarried considered to be an “old maid” or старая девушка ?

Yea, it’s pathetic. She’s too old already for all but the oligarchs. ..and some old American guy who wants a cute Russian devochka wife for all his friends to sneer at (you know Americans). This is why she hides her turkey neck with the camera while she’s photographing herself! No wonder she hates turkey!

December 10, 2009.
I’ll never forget today! The cover of my book went to the printer today!
Monday, the text goes, including this bit, inspired by an ugly, thankless Russian B____ (whoops, wrong thread, I thought we were on the profanity lesson here)

(from EDGE OF HEAVEN)
After finishing the call, Lamborne followed State Department security protocol and used his desktop computer to direct the telephone recording capture of his conversation with Orlovakov down to the electronically secure basement office of the embassy’s CIA station. There, on a Sun workstation, Orlovakov’s voiceprint would be routinely compared to earlier conversations with her and analyzed with Air Force RADC voice verification and stress algorithms to confirm both her identity and to probe the modulation characteristics of her voice for stress and deception indicators. There was a chance that in speaking English, Orlovakov had intended to mask any voice modulation that would betray detectable deception had she spoken in her native Russian. But that was part of the art of espionage and the Moscow CIA staff had many voiceprint samples of Orlovakov’s English speaking to gauge her veracity.

(US Ambassador Linder is in for a big surprise the next morning when she meets Orlovakov’s boss, the Russian Foreign Minister at 10am, seconds after both Russia and China strategic forces go to full alert. Five years later, the world is ruled by Beverly Hills black mold. :-)

Since nobody gets back to me about advertising on HFW, here’s the book’s web site, which will have a shopping cart by this weekend:

Happy Birthday Turkey neck!
Gobble Gobble Gobble
:-) Hugs, sweety
Hope you’re having fun in the Big Apple and got to see GaGa Tuesday night at the club opening

With greatest pleasure and admiration.
Your passion for words and life ignites
my zeal for you. Love that word.

I ran across this dude’s videos who looks like he’s having fun playing this song. He gives an “Electric Interpretation” of it. :cool:

Who really has a lot of time on their hands to get things done?
I like the video :smile:
and Marina does too. ;-)

You did a fine job Karl :cool:

Yes Happy belated Birthday.
May you enjoy many more.
:cool:

You know what?…I think so….lOL

Happy 29th Birth Day Marina!!!I’am a little late,but better late then never.I hope you enjoyed your Birth Day! :smile: :!:

certainly looked like you had fun making it.
time, think a lot of us have that very same problem.
there is always a next occasion to use the extra material / ideas.
i am curious.

Hey! There’s my face! Cool!!

Marina, I have a rather unique take on things, since I’m 72 years old. I hope I live long enough to see you turn 35, since I think you will continue to become even more attractive as time passes.

Rocky Frisco
