5:03 am
larlielou

i no ,family in mel
5:04 am
Angb

Nice place. Mel. Been there a couple of times, and Sydney - usually avoid that place. When to Gold Coast last year. NZers holiday there as it's cheaper than holidays in NZ!
5:06 am
larlielou

i will be in oz for new year love sydney harbour
5:07 am
Angb

The harbour is the best place in Sydney. And the Rocks. Hmmm Sydney's not so bad LOL. A cruise on the harbour is well worth while.
5:09 am
larlielou

what ,s the gold coast like never beenthere
5:10 am
lynxxx

awful - too commercial - go up further north - Cairns etc.
5:11 am
lynxxx

PS I'm from Melbourne
5:12 am
larlielou

been in bayswater for new year
5:13 am
lynxxx

Bayswater nr Melbourne? Most of my family is up that way - I'm the only one who moved in closer to the city/Melboure.
5:14 am
Angb

Gold Coast was commercial - but I have 5 yr and 8 yr old sons! Sunshine Coast was beautiful (and home of Australia Zoo)!
5:15 am
lynxxx

All those theme parks - I understand!
5:17 am
Angb

lynxxx I think Melbourne is the place to visit in Aus. Love the place.
5:18 am
Atalante

even Cairns and Port Douglas are too commercial - go to Cooktown!
5:18 am
lynxxx

TY It is a lovely town - I notice NZers feel at home here so it is probably a lot like NZ to live in (I've only been to NZ once)
5:19 am
aleksia.

i love shopping in Melbourne!
5:19 am
larlielou

lots of family between rowvile and bays , i think i still will like to see gold coast.
5:19 am

Yes, it's much like here. Oh yes, and the shopping. And the restaurants.
5:20 am

WE have several Michiganders in Babbleland, Bugzy is in Warren, Ypsigirl is in Ypsilanti.

In Mi you are never more than 8 miles from a body of water, and we have the longest coastline of the contiguous 48 states
5:25 am
P.J.

cool,inge Im north of Ann Arbor.
5:28 am
Angb

Now in NZ you could probably drive from one end to the other in under 24 hours (pending on ferry in the middle). And some say that we have every natural scenery thing here.
5:30 am
Atalante

is there any official desert in NZ?
5:32 am
Angb

OK - probably not. Not with sand anyway. But there is nasty land around the National Park in the North Island - which has what is called the Desert Road running through it. LOL. But Aus next door has quite a bit.
5:32 am
Angb

Oh you would know that anyway Atalante.

Hey all you writing experts out there, I've got a question. I'm editing a text, and this sentence doesn't sound right to me: Our goal is to orchestrate the requirements for an outstanding golf course with the environment for a unique residential/resort community.

Orchestrate requirements with the environment? Can you orchestrate x with y? What about 'merge' instead?
9:25 am
erin76

that's odd, it only shows up id you click on my icon.
9:26 am
EvaNadine

thanks krys and charm!
9:26 am
Krys10

orchestrate sounds odd, there, i agree
9:27 am
Charm

amanda - how about 'harmonize' or a synonym?
9:27 am
torgone

harmonize?
9:27 am
72 Temple Owl

within not with but that is really convoluted
9:27 am
word

how about blend?
9:27 am
amandacath

ooooo thanks! I knew this was the right place to ask!
9:27 am
72 Temple Owl

needs rewriting not rewordking
9:28 am
Charm

Tor, meaning you want the two elements to coexist without clashing?
9:28 am
Krys10

amandacath: dictionary.com suggest arrange, blend, coordinate, harmonize, integrate, synthesize, unify as synonyms for orchestrate, but I think it needs at least a comma in there somewhere
9:28 am
Krys10

needs a breath
9:28 am
72 Temple Owl

amanda: in plain english what are they trying to do/say?
9:28 am
sydnie

amandacath what up you ok
9:29 am
Krys10

i just realized i misread it the first time - i thought the "with the environment" belonged to the golf course
9:30 am
Krys10

how about "balance"? Our goal is to balance the requirements for a golf course with the needs of the surrounding environement" or something
9:30 am
torgone

That seems to be the intent, charm ..
9:30 am
Charm

ah, very nice, Krys
9:30 am
FMitch

I like word's suggestion of blend or Krys's balance
9:31 am
Charm

Yes, Tor, that seems to be the intent. They're just having trouble expressing it. Too many words, I think!
9:31 am
Krys10

now if only I could spell!
9:31 am
sydnie

who has had fireworks any one
9:31 am
ch1212

Sometimes when I'm stuck on a paragraph I will ask for input and almost immediately see where I was going wrong, Krys... I like "balance" much better, because that keeps it between the golf course and the environment. Now you just have to weave the (apparent?) residential community that's planned too. As it reads, the focus is on the golf course and the environment.
9:31 am
amandacath

TO - I'm not exactly sure, to be honest. I think it means: when designing the course/community they use the environment that is already there instead of bulldozing everything away and starting from scratch.
9:32 am
Krys10

studying for SATs as an adult turns out to be helpful :)
9:32 am
sydnie

amandacath what up ya ok
9:32 am
Krys10

if you wanted to get fancy, you could say something about working in symbiosis with the environment when designing a golf course
9:33 am
ch1212

That's good too, Krys... say don't forget the Perrine Bridge on your travels -- you will cross it as you enter Twin Falls, Idaho, and it's the number one bridge for BASE jumping. World record set here recently.
9:34 am
ch1212

Oh, and the other claim to fame is that nearby the Perrine Bridge is where Evil Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon on his motorcycle.
9:34 am
EvaNadine

hows about something more like this:
"Our goal is to balance the requirements of an outstanding golf course with the need to sustain the environment; such a blend will result in a unique residential/resort community."
9:35 am
Krys10

wow, that's a beautiful bridge! The trip was put termporarily on hold because my cat got sick, so I cam include Twin Falls when I redesign. My husband just got assigned a new sales region that includes Idaho, so I'll have more opportunity. Thanks ch1212!
9:35 am
Krys10

ooh, semicolons! *applauds*
9:36 am

applause for evanadine -- much better! much clearer!

star WARS is a LONG TIME AGO in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY. star TREK is in the FUTURE in OUR galaxy. not to mention that in star wars you have a tiny rebel band against a huge evil empire, very different from the cold war feeling of original trek.

the killer sudoku doesnt give you any numbers..they have dotted lines connecting two or more squares and tell you what the total is for those squares and these can over lap the 9 squares fo a section

the 4 is the number of letters and the 6 is the point count.
6:27 pm

well i wanted to try without help, but a little while ago i realized it wasn't possible. so i just started to use it, nrkii

8:42 pm
Jacula

pam - I guess it means they don't read books. Everyone is reading (literally) all the time; road signs, food labels, notices etc., etc. The women's magazines of today reflect that fact that people have neither the concentration or the time to read stories. Most women's mags have one '5-minute fiction' slot now (it used to a a 10-minute, coffee break read') and all the rest is made up of 'My dog ate my baby/my husband is an animal/my doctor nearly killed me type stories.

9:47 pm

9:47 pm
Jacula

The Black Hodag had "the head of a bull, the grinning face of a giant man, thick short legs set off by huge claws, the back of a dinosaur, and a long tail with a spear at the end." It lived in the dense regions of nearby swamps, feasting mostly on mud turtles, water snakes, and muskrats, although it did partake in an occasional human.

They smell rank.

Mr. Sheppard was also able to catch a female hodag after noticing that hodags only slept by leaning against trees. He simply cut down the tree, capturing the hodag. The two were successfully bred, and the result was thirteen eggs, all of which hatched. Sheppard taught these hodags a number of tricks, which he hoped to show for a profit.

Can anybody lend a hand with c7.32?
9:54 pm
Jacula

Ren - It should be noted that although the Rhinelander Daily News "advanced the theory that the hodag was a missing link between 'the ichthyosaurus and the mylodoan' of the ice age," some disbelievers proclaimed that the hodag was simply a large dog that had been covered with a horse hide and displayed in poor lighting. These people further claimed that the word hodag was a combination of the words "horse" and "dog." However, as any student of Latin knows, Bovinus spiritualis means drunken ox, which can certainly not be confused with any dog in a horse hide.

No idea, hodag. Not read enough yet to say. I do believe that when folk tales of various mysterious creatures persist so long as the Yeti and Loch Ness monster ones have done, and there are various versions over the world, that there may well be truth in such stories. I do know that the UK's big cats exist because I've seen one twice.

Slytherin is the house for students known as being 'resourceful...with a certain disregard for rules,' also 'shrewd' and 'cunning folk [who] use any means to achieve their ends.'
Hufflepuff is home to students who are 'hard workers,' also 'just and loyal,...patient...true, and unafraid of toil.'
Gryffindor welcomes those students known for their 'chivalry,' and who are willing to fight for what is 'right and good.'
Ravenclaw is the 'wise old' house, reserved for only the 'cleverest' students, those of 'ready mind...wit and learning.

11:07 pm

true, but at least caerwa** has enough info in the rest of the word to make sense of it. As for the wi6/30, why can't the germans call an aurochs an aurochs like the rest of us....

well, my info wasn't too far off, it was Poland, but it was 1627. And apparently, our current cattle are the result of the domestication of the Aurochs.... Been a number of attempts to breed back to the original strain, but without success to date. Wiki is wunderful....

I live in a wonderfully quiet village, apart from the sound of tractors, cows, crows, magpies etc. It's only 10 miles from the major city where I was born, but I realise the quiteitude when I go back there.

hurshy I did not (I never watch TV) but here is a dump from Wikipedia and it is hilarious Colbert has frequently mentioned Wikipedia on his show, and in the July 31, 2006 "The WØRD" segment he coined the portmanteau of Wikipedia and reality, Wikiality. He checked Wikipedia to determine whether Oregon was California's Canada or Washington's Mexico before deciding to declare it Idaho's Portugal and pretending to change Wikipedia to make it so. He also instructed viewers to change the elephant article to say that the number of elephants has tripled in the last six months. He goes on to express his love for Wikipedia as it presents a philosophy similar to Colbert's own truthiness (that intuition is more true than fact) as "if enough people believe something" it becomes true.
