The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn't hard to master. Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster. I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. The art of losing isn't hard to master. I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster. --Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster. |

Losing letters:
The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).
In the first year, 's' will be used instead of the soft 'c'. Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard 'c' will be replaced with 'k.' Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome 'ph' will be replaced by 'f'. This will make words like 'fotograf' 20 per sent shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent 'e's in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' by 'z' and 'w' by 'v'.
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou', and similar changes vud of kors; be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil b no mor trubls or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
The Spanish saying of this JD:
"La avaricia rompe el saco"
Literal meaning:
Greed bursts the sack
Meaning/use:
Greed and excessive ambition can stand in the way of obtaining benefit or success.
Comments:
This Spanish proverb evokes the image of a thief using a sack to carry the objects he steals. When the sack fills up he presses down its contents to make more fit in, making it break and losing his whole loot.

A common loser:
A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering Approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. " I am, replied the woman, 'How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is, technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."
The woman below responded, " You must be in Management." " I am," replied the balloonist, " but how did you know?" " Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.
The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."
Losers In Quotes Taken From Actual Performance Reports:
Since my last report, he has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.
His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity.
I would not allow this associate to breed.
This associate is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't be.
Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.
When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.
He would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle.
This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
This associate should go far - and the sooner he starts the better.
This associate is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
Why is the man who invests all our money called a broker?
Because we are money losers!

I'd love to cee some improvements made to English spelling
The french influence combined with the linguistic shift that occurred in the language at the same time that Samuel Johnson was publishing his dictionary have made English spelling a horror show.
the truth hurts. fox news is painless
through, rough and cough are my real problem children
they were commonly pronounced as they are spelled ( with a hard g) while Johnson was compiling his dictionary all 3 had a pronunciation shift shortly after it’s publication.
the truth hurts. fox news is painless
punctuation is such a waist of time to i dont sea why anyone bothers who was johnson anyway some self appointed spell nazi cramming his rules down your throat and your supposed to give a care well i just dont
Punctuation is a different animal
I’m not even criticising Johnson, just pointing out a problem.

That makes you Irish.
Ulysses ends with a chapter on Molly. It consists of more than 30 pages occupied by seven sentences with no punctuation except for the period at the end of the novel. J Joyce for the win.
You should have been born Spanish.
Not many problems with spelling here. Someone would say we made it easy because we´re lazy.
Russian spelling is very easy too
After you figure the Cyrillic alphabet.

You´re a pimp. Before you get mad at me, lets pretend I´m not insulting you.
“If that touch had not been thrown in,” said Don Quixote, “he would not
deserve, for mere pimping, to row in the galleys, but rather to command
and be admiral of them; for the office of pimp is no ordinary one, being
the office of persons of discretion, one very necessary in a well-ordered
state, and only to be exercised by persons of good birth…”

Some losers are really frustrating.
I’m not a hypersensitive person. In fact, I’ve had many people call me very insensitive. But I’ve got something really stuck in my craw.
Today, I had a conversation with a family member (actually, the other person was talking and I was pretending to listen) about some rumors someone has been spreading about another relative. The people spreading the nasty rumor, incidentally, are gay. The family member I was speaking with commented on how gays are such a vindictive group of people, and how she knew this from experience having worked with two gay people in her life. I was like, “Um, I dunno, I’ve met a lot of vindictive straight people, and gays who aren’t vindictive at all.”
“Well, but even the gay rights groups are always really angry and bitter,” she said.
I replied, “All action groups are. That’s why they form groups. They’re people who are angry and bitter about something.”
Then she started on about something else really stupid. I wasn’t paying attention. Until she made a comment about someone having “the typical stoic Indian personality, like they all have.” Then I was like “Wha?” but didn’t say anything. I did my best to tune out the rest.
Anyway, that’s my rant for the day. Sorry if I stepped on any toes, but I needed to vent a little. Some people are such great losers, they can lose arguments and not realize how illogical they are.

I think it is common that people who gravitate towards ‘action groups’ are struggling with subconscious self-hatred and psychological regression to the temper tantrums and rebellion of their youth. It is very difficult to express self-hatred, so a villain must be constructed.
Once a ‘villain’ is chosen, the hatred is easier to deflect in an outward direction, being expressed in ways such as character assassination (spreading rumors), ‘Occupy’ protests in the park (essentially a temper tantrum orgy), or your typical anti-whatever vandalism (dumping buckets of paint on new SUVs or fur coats). Even your average ‘I hate America’ statement is merely self-hatred expressed as a metaphor.
you should say ^^that^^ to your family member
and then watch her head explode

One that is thought out
I don’t hate America but I do hate what our federal government does in its name to “promote freedom” (rather veiled hegemony, but veiled only to a majority of its citizens). The means to control large populaces is to divide the many into many small groups. And we in the US are a very divided people. Our neghbohoods are relatively homogenous both culturally and socio-econmically. This helps to build a divide so that we don’t see we all suffer from a similar condition rather we associate the the condition to who we are as a small group rahter than as the larger whole. When people unite under a common cause power may be restored to the populace. Wherein lies the critical mass to claim power that it is the question.
Occupy has been very successful in breaking down the walls which divide our many groups. I hope that all people will come together rather than tear each other apart in a world which is now having less every year to be shared by all. Global prodcution is now on the decline and we must all make do with less. What unites the groups is hostility towrads one group that sees no reason to not accumulatea even greater share though the total supply is dwindling. It is a bleak reality in which we all must live no longer will ones children have more possesions than ones parents during ones lifetime. However I due not belive that this necessitates that ones life would be any less fullfilling or even necessarliy difficult. Just that as energy supplies become more scarce we will all become more aware of our consumption as it will be unaffordable to carry on in the manner which led us to this point in time.
Way to dismiss messengers of systemic injustice
I would say that action groups from around a common observable injustice, for example civil rights. Dark-skinned folk being mistreated or unfairly segragated and isolated has nothing ot do with self-hate rather the hatred of a system that would disregard the lives of so many for nothing more than color of ones skin.
So too can the same be said for Occupy movements; just because a person is born to wealthy parents does not mean that they should be able to control government in such a way as to poop on those who were not born into obscene wealth. The movement simply tries to highlight this injustice and bears little self-hatred.

You don´t accept that people might take it away.
You won´t let it go.

Getting closer. Last summer I sent my kids to Seatle for a month, so they could learn English the right way, which is not amlmart1´s way..
I don´t think I´m going to Portland any time soon though, but I´ll buy a beer to any past or present Junkedger visiting Santander.
It´s already difficult to get a coffe here.
When the Spanish order a coffee in the morning, they appear to be speaking on code. It’s rarely just ‘coffee’ (or ‘café’ in Spanish). These are some of the terms you’re going to have to get to grips with if you want to keep your head above water in a Spanish ’cafeteria.
Café solo Espresso, the standard form of coffee in Spain – if you want lots of water in it you could ask for it to be added (con agua caliente) but you might get laughed at. Seriously!
Café con leche Espresso with milk added. The most popular form of coffee in Spain.
Café cortado Espresso with a drop of milk. Sometimes called ‘cafe manchado’ (stained coffee), not to be mistaken with the drink below. In Germany, there is an erroneous tendency to sell a drink called a ‘café cortado’ which is actually a ‘café bonbon’ (see below).
Leche manchada ‘Stained milk’, a little coffee and a lot of milk. More like coffee flavored milk than a proper coffee. Not very common, though I’ve seen it in the south (in Seville).
Café descafeinado Decaff coffee. You can ask for it from the machine (de maquina) or from a sachet (de sobre).
Café con hielo An espresso and a glass of ice. You’re supposed to pour the espresso over the ice, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Café bonbon Espresso with sweetened condensed milk. Sometimes referred to as a café cortado condensada. A mix of half normal milk and half sweetened condensed milk is called a leche y leche.
Cafe bonbon con hielo Same as above bout poured over ice. It’s the sort of thing Starbucks would call a Super Duper Wacky Frappuccino or something like that (and charge you twice the price).
Depending on the region any of these names might change to another one most of us don´t even know.
I hate ordering coffee anywhere
I don’t like being forced to say silly names that I end up butchering. Plus I’ve got way too much stuff at home to make my own so paying 5 dollars for coffee seems like a waste.

You are right.
Coffe is a social habit though. Just something to have conversation around. So go make your own coffe and keep talking :)

but you are right, not an improvement. just a lateral derivative. an improvement as an alternative, but not as a replacement. hailoden is awesome.
"I told somebody to stop crying," Pendergraph said after the game. "Actually, I told them all to stop crying."
They did have the white-fudge oreos when I was kid
so they haven’t been improved upon since then, but I would say that counts as an improvement upon the seemingly unimprovable.

It looks really, really promising
And it’s the first thing they’d had with a serious buzz for the PC. (Translation: Other than Xbox/Kinect)
What’s interesting is that the tech sites love to dump on Microsoft. And even those people are buzzing about how much they want to try it out.
I’m still not sure on the interface… going to be very interesting to see the progress over the next six months.
But yep, this does have game-changer potential, and a possible redesign of how Microsoft is seen.
I wish I didn't like tech stuff.
There is just waaaaaay wwaaaaaaay too many cool things out there to take my time and money. I should start fishing or something. lol
i think you can waste your money on any hobby
but tech stuff you do a bunch of research, buy the best gadget possible and then a week later a better one comes out and you can get the same thing for half the price.

My oldest kid spent a month in Michigan with a nice American family of musicians two years ago.
By that time he was doing theater and drawing in his free time. Now he´s playing guitar (electric and Spanish ones), electronic organ, saucepans and wood spoons (these are his drums), a bongo,… and mixing the ressults in his PC. All very basic, but seems to be fun. Music can help to keep spirits up.

He´s coming back from injury.
He has length, athleticism and shot, but lacks speed (for a SF), passion and health. Thye book is still open, but I´m worried.
whoa did it ever slow down or what
one minute 500 posts a second the next dead as a door nail, reminds me of the difference between home games and away games!
LOL

Ahhh, the good old times.
As I´ve lost a litle bit of interest in our team, I´ll try to compensate by working a litle bit more in the JDs. We have a task ahead. Bring back the JDs to life, even if such life just happens every other week.
