In Russian [тeтя (Madame) Galina, Kлyня, Caшa, Barb - from жана]
Русский язык — один из восточнославянских языков, один из крупнейших языков мира, в том числе самый распространённый из славянских языков и самый распространённый язык Европы, как географически, так и и по числу носителей (хотя значительная, и географически большая, часть русского языкового ареала находится в Азии).
Top reasons you might be Russian Orthodox:
Top reasons you might be Russian Orthodox:
•• You can automatically subtract 13 days from today’s date.
• On your first encounter with long words, you pronounce them stressing the ‘next to the next to last’ syllable.
• You wonder why the Pope crosses himself backwards when you see him on TV.
• You wear comfortable shoes to church, because you know you’ll be standing a long, long time.
• To you, a ‘topless’ gal is one without a headscarf.
• You get great deals on Christmas trees and Easter candy.
• You spend time figuring out the best way to remove smoke stains from your ceiling.
• When you see a shopping-mall Santa, your first instinct is to hold out your hands to get his blessing.
• Before you pray, you say a prayer.
• You don’t flinch when someone throws water at you.
• When you first tell people who ask what religion you are, at first they think you’re Jewish. Oy!
• You’re experienced at removing wax from clothing.
• When you go to the movies, you and your spouse sit on different sides of the theatre (and you both feel uncomfortable sitting down in public).
• The service routinely starts at least 15 minutes late and lasts 2 ½ hours — and nobody around you complains.
• You know you’re in an Orthodox church when the priest says, ‘Let us complete our prayer to the Lord’, and there’s still half an hour to go.
• (Slavic) Every woman in church is called Mary, Irene or Helen.
• (Convert) There’s somebody in your church called Barsanuphius and you think nothing of it.
• You find yourself instinctively drawn to jurisdictional chaos. ‘I don’t believe in organized religion; I’m Orthodox!’
• At the end of Holy Week, you have rug burns on your forehead.
• Your Easter isn’t Easter without an all-night party (featuring vodka and 10 dishes of sausage with cheese).

In Memory (Updated)
Babushka (бaбyшka нaшa) - There is so much to remember. We miss you so will remember some of the things you said and did. Sugar makes you smarter. Finger sandwiches make life better. It's just water and ice with big, big orange. It's not weather, it's suicide. And I hang... You made my day. Cat looks like glass. Is only one way. All America crazy about it. He looks like a Micky Mouse. Ricky will fix it. We all have the same God.
Charles Evans, hammer mechanic and head of the Liar's Club - No two ways about it, FDR rules and Nixon was a crook. If you want to see a nice person just look in the mirror. Watch out for the big money boys in Washington and the ultra-conservative wing of the Republican party. What this country needs is a woman for president.
Uncle Karl, aka Karl Katz, hello over day! The cat says Meowlk. We miss your polka-dot shirt, red overalls, and dress shoes with no socks. Clarrisa and Punky Brewster. Anyone like to dress up for Halloween or put up 7 Christmas trees at Ricky's house?
Uncle Gary - Because of you we saw the Heber Valley, Salt Lake City, and Yellowstone.
Don - You took us to Sly's house, the Hard Rock, and Madonna's place. Joey and the Continentals rule.
Sugar Makes You Smarter
A provocative statement but supported by the facts. A number of studies have previously shown that young children did better in school when they ate sweetened breakfast cereals and that adults also scored better when consuming glucose compared with placebo. Now, a study in 20 healthy elderly people shows that consumption of carbohydrates in the morning led to better memory and task performance. The study appeared in the September 2000 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Similar benefits were seen with consumption of glucose, potatoes, or barley. People who ate carbohydrates were better able to recall lists of words, pay attention, and connect numbers assigned randomly on a page. Although the foods were not significantly different from each other, there was a trend to better performance with glucose and lower performance with barley. The blood glucose level of the subjects was not related to the results of this study.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The preferred fuel source for your brain is glucose, the form of sugar the body makes in the liver if you don't eat enough carbohydrate. Regulation of blood sugar is connected to mental performance in all age groups. This is yet another reason not to follow fad diets that promise to keep blood sugar at constantly low levels. In fact, the elderly with the best insulin sensitivity and lowest body-mass index had the worst initial cognitive performance.

New topic
- Book Review: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Publisher: Springfield, Mass. : Merriam-Webster, 2006. $26.95. SBN: 0877798079 9780877798071 9780877798071 0877798079 # OCLC: 66262588
This collegiate dictionary includes fewer words than M-W's unabridged international edition and more words than the corresponding paperback. Called a desktop version, the collegiate dictionary includes about 100 new words not found in the previous edition, which holds a 1993 copyright and was called groundbreaking by its publisher because it merged paper, CD, and online versions when it was first published.
The M-W Web site states this collegiate dictionary has more then 225,000 entries. In comparison, M-W also publishes the Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged with more more than 472,000 entries, at $129.00. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, at $12.95, with more than 75,000 definitions is the paperback subset of the collegiate dictionary.
From the Web site, here is a sampling of some of the new words in the 2006 version
Business and industry - agritourism, big box
Computers and technology - mouse potato, spyware,ringtone
Entertainment and leisure - labelmate, ollie, wave pool
International - manga, qigong
Nature - aquascape, coqu
Popular culture - soul patch, supersize
Science and medicine - biodiesel, gastric bypass,avian influenza
The Human Condition - drama queen, unibrow
Miscellaneous - sandwich generation
The dictionary is what you would expect and does not disappoint. It would be a welcome addition for anyone who wants to have a current edition of this reliable and respected source of information.
Here are some related FAQs adapted from the web site at http://www.m-w.com/info/faq.htm.
What is Merriam-Webster?
Merriam-Webster is a publisher of language-related reference works. The company publishes a diverse array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (which the company says is America's best-selling desk dictionary) and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged.
Does Merriam-Webster have any connection to Noah Webster?
Merriam-Webster can be considered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In 1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of Webster's magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured the rights to create revised editions of the work. Since that time, Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster's work, creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries and reference books in the world.
When was Merriam-Webster founded?
In 1831, brothers George and Charles Merriam opened a printing and bookselling operation in Springfield, Massachusetts which they named G. & C. Merriam Co. The company, which was renamed Merriam-Webster, Incorporated, in 1982, has been in continuous operation since that time.
How long has Merriam-Webster been publishing dictionaries?
The first Merriam-Webster dictionary was issued on September 24, 1847. It cost $6.00 per copy and earned the praise of such notable figures as President James K. Polk and General Zachary Taylor.
Which dictionary is used on Merriam-Webster Online?
The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary is based on the print version of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition. The online dictionary includes the main A-Z listing of the Collegiate Dictionary, as well as the Abbreviations, Foreign Words and Phrases, Biographical Names, and Geographical Names sections of that book. It also includes 1,000 illustrations and 25 tables. Selected sections of the print Collegiate Dictionary, notably the Signs and Symbols section, are omitted from the online Collegiate Dictionary because they include special characters and symbols that cannot readily be reproduced in HTML.
Are all Webster's dictionaries alike? No. After Noah Webster's death in 1843 and throughout the 19th century, Merriam-Webster produced the finest American dictionaries, building the reputation of the name Webster's to a point where it became a byword for quality dictionaries. But in the late 1800s and early 1900s, legal difficulties concerning the copyright and trademark of the name Webster arose, and eventually many different publishers, some rather unscrupulous, began putting dictionaries on the market under the Webster's name. The net effect of the proliferation of Webster dictionaries is a reference-book marketplace in which consumers are unaware of or confused about what differentiates one Webster from another. In an attempt to draw attention to the issue, in 1982 our company changed its name from G. & C. Merriam Company to Merriam-Webster, Incorporated. Other publishers may use the name Webster, but only Merriam-Webster products are backed by over 150 years of accumulated knowledge and experience. The Merriam-Webster name is your assurance that a reference work carries the quality and authority of a company that has been publishing since 1831.
