since when are there english ppl on this website, reading ur posts made me remember my high school yrs when we were trying to find hidden meanings in poems of robert frost or better yet make up some cool linguistic analysis of authors' thoughts at the time of writing a cirtain narrative. i cant say im not impressed by the standard of language that some ppl here are exhibiting, however i think that there are times and places for that kind of language i have never seen so many "big words" put in one paragraph, i know a few 4 example but using them in print does not add any credability to the writer unless the work is academic, or does it?? www.dictionary.com and its thesaurus section is a great tool to be used when trying to differentiate ones' self from the others in summary, nice work, the best ive seen on this site

Hey, dude )))
I know what i meant... WILL SEE
of course your musty gramma not allow you to understand this phrase, but still it's correct. Moreover, your way was correct too, I'm not argue with that.
When I write "let's speak" - it doesn't mean like we will speak oral, as you told. It means we will write, of course. In that case we can find more mistakes. First of all, as you caught me, we can't speak by letters, it's right. In the modern american english they won't usually say "adopting". It just sounds unnatural. Just not normal speak in modern times. I used it from previous message. So, your sentence made me laugh too, for instance, how "we don't use no letters when we speak". Take your pick:
-we don't use letters when we speak
-we use no letters when we speak
Is it something from your Brooklyn's friends?????
It's distortion of language.
Guys, let's speak clearly, everybody knows that we're not american, british people e.t.c.
Don't put down. Take it easy and let's enjoy of our conversation.

A quick question to English teacher:

I understood that you are a native speaker, just wanted to ask if you are teaching here in UFA, I don't remember the name of that school that we have but some time ago they had people from Ireland and USA teaching there.

I have a couple of friends who have plenty of time and desire to learn English language but with the native speaker only.

To everyone: I'll be glad to chat, just a light conversation, but I am not going to fall into elaboration on your mistakes and usually I don't give a .....about mistakes I make, provided that I am not taking an IELTS test at the moment.

Hi Lesia,

Yes I am a native speaker (from near London) and yes, I am teaching here in Ufa :) If your friends would like the name of the school where I teach, I would be happy to give it to you... send me a private message if you need the name. I have done (and still do) some private work outside of the school sometimes, but only when I have enough time to do it.

You've taken IELTS? How did you do?

Thank you for the reply!!

I've been doing Mаsters in International Law (City University of London), besides the bachellor's degree they required at least 7.0 IELTS, I've spent 1,5 months here in Ufa preparing for the IELTS test with a really nice lady from Irenland, she worked for Language Link school and I took private lessons. Then I took a short course of IELTS preparation in London and finally I got 7.5 overall score (academic). I completed the course in the City Uni 3 years ago and I have to acknowledge the fact that I am losing my skills due to the shortage of practice here :(

Переведите пожалуйста кому не лень. ?? Хочется себя проверить)

— Нянюшка, — спросила Анжелика, — для чего Жиль де Рец убивал столько детей?
— Все это козни дьявола, моя девочка. Жиль де Рец, людоед из Машкуля, хотел стать самым могущественным сеньором среди всех. В его замке было полно всяких колб, склянок и горшков с красным варевом, а над ними клубились зловонные пары. Дьявол требовал себе в жертву сердца маленьких детей. Вот почему Жиль де Рец убивал. Потрясенные матери с ужасом смотрели на черную башню Машкуля, вокруг которой всегда стаями кружилось воронье — столько трупов невинных младенцев было в подземельях замка.
— И он их всех съедал? — спросила дрожащим голосом Мадлон, маленькая сестренка Анжелики.
— Нет, всех просто не смог бы, — ответила кормилица. Склонившись над котлом, она некоторое время молча помешивала заправленный салом суп из капусты.
Ортанс, Анжелика и Мадлон, дочери барона де Сансе де Монтелу, сидя за столом, на котором уже стояли миски и лежали ложки, с замиранием сердца ждали продолжения.
— Он поступал еще хуже, — снова заговорила кормилица, и в голосе ее зазвучал гнев. — Сперва требовал, чтобы младенца — девочку или мальчика — привели к нему. Испуганный малыш кричал, звал свою мать, а сеньор, развалившись на кровати, наслаждался его ужасом. Затем приказывал подвесить дитя у стены на специальном приспособлении вроде виселицы, которое сжимало бедняжке грудь и шею, душило его, но не до смерти. Малютка бился, словно придушенный цыпленок, потом начинал хрипеть, глаза несчастного вылезали из орбит, он весь синел. И в огромном зале слышались лишь хохот жестоких мучителей да стоны их маленькой жертвы. Наконец Жиль де Рец давал знак снять ребенка, сажал его к себе на колени, прижимал лобик бедненького ангелочка к своей груди и нежно успокаивал.

The Test

Three men who were lost in the forest were captured by cannibals. The cannibal king told the prisoners that they could live if they pass a trial. The first step of the trial was to go to the forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of fruit. So all three men went separate ways to gather fruits.

The first one came back and said to the king, "I brought ten apples." The king then explained the trial to him. "You have to shove the fruits up your butt without any expression on your face or you'll be eaten."

The first apple went in... but on the second one he winced out in pain, so he was killed.

The second one arrived and showed the king ten berries. When the king explained the trial to him he thought to himself that this should be easy. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8... and on the ninth berry he burst out in laughter and was killed.

The first guy and the second guy met in heaven. The first one asked, "Why did you laugh, you almost got away with it?" The second one replied, "I couldn't help it, I saw the third guy coming with pineapples."

The need for communication presupposes a "COMMUNICATION GAP"..., which can be bridged because of the overlap, or partial congruence between the mental context of the user in focus and the mental context of the interlocutor(s) - your conversation sounds natural when you try and fill this INFORMATION GAP.

So, what is your need?

What COMMUNICATION GAP are you trying to bridge?

Don't be an arse.... believe it or not an English teacher's salary here is nothing that's going to help you attract the "chicks" lol Basically, I had a fantastic career, but one that meant that I had to sell my soul in order to earn a good wage and that, unfortunately, meant that I had to dismiss a large number of employees. I didn't like it!! Plus, it was too easy and thus boring! I decided to do what my mother had done for 38 years before me... teach :)

I requalified and needed to decide where to go... I was intrigued by different alphabets and Cyrillic won. I've been all over the world, but I had never been to a 'normal' Russian city... ultimately, Ufa chose me - there was a job opening, the timing was right and I took it!

sure, i am... just like everybody else at this forum.... even though i got to stay 6 weeks at work and only three back home, I still "live" in ufa....
nizh, right now.. but it might have been kogalym, noyabrsk, nefteyugansk, or elsewhere…
not necessarily though… we’ve had quite a few sunny days this winter….. yes, in most of the cases it is cold, but it only takes so many days to get used to it… nothing to be really afraid of, you know…

on top, if you are a rig pig, you are supposed to be an all-weather machine... you may be up north today, but you may, as well, wake up somewhere in the Gulf tomorrow... :)

как будет одним словом- охота на ворон? Типа - хантеркарлинг

потому, что первое, что приходит это crow hunting...

Crow hunt в буквальном смысле здесь, скорее всего, действительно ни при чем.

Парня, вероятно, интересует английское соответствие русской идиоме "охотиться на ворон / считать ворон", аналогичной по значению словосочетаниям "бить баклуши", "валять дурака", "щелкать варежкой".

В этом случае, в качестве более или менее адекватного перевода могу предложить:

1) to screw down
2) to screw around
3) to fuck around
4) to goof around

Того, кто считает ворон / охотится на ворон / щелкает ипальнегом, можно назвать goofy fucker.

Если же в результате "подсчета ворон" кто-то, говоря по-русски, "облажался", то, с учетом результата действия, к вышеуказанным глаголам потребуются уже другие послелоги:

1) to screw up
2) to fuck up

Katomba
12-03-2007, 00:17
думаю речь идет о другом...
существует идиотский вид спорта/хобби, не знаю как это назвать, короче фсякие придурки охотятся на ворон с пневматикой.

пробил ради интереса значение crow hunt в мультитране...
одно из табуизированных сленговых значений слова crow - "физически непривлекательная девушка", а другое - "засохшая сперма на лобковых волосах" :D : http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=ph...0%F5&L1=2&L2=1
В подобном контексте, словосочетание crow hunt приобретает ну просто ужоснах какое двусмысленное значение :D :D

к сведениям, которые дает Малтитран, нужно относиться с серьезной проверкой...
пока я не найду в других источниках такое табуированное толкование crow hunt, которое дает Малтитран, я его всерьез не приму.
Другие источник, вы правы, не дают подобного результата. То есть, пока, это что-то вроде охотничьей забавы, для тренировки вашей собаки.
Может быть аскер имел ввиду какую-нибудь компьютерную игру с подобным названием?

В принципе, да. Нельзя полагаться лишь на один источнег. :)
но, кстати, то, что я нашел в мультитране, это не crow hunt, а только одно из значений crow
В собрании сленга на berkley.edu кластер crow вообще отсутствует, например. http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wrader/slang/c.html
И на "пивиш" тоже нет: http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/c.htm

Это я на фарите бездырь, а в жизни я и есть тот самый Олег с 501 о котором ты говориш, по факу не брожу и гавно не пинаю, а прихожутуда учиться и причем на 5, не на натянутую пятерочку а на безоговорочную 5!

с этого же началось (п.615).... ты можешь критиковать их, спорить с ними, но не относиться к нми надменно и снисходительно...

и еще, по поводу преподов... я, например, никогда не позволял себе отзываться о тех, у кого учился, с пренебрежением или похлопывать их снисходительно по плечу, обсуждая за глаза в частных разговорах... ни когда был студентом, ни теперь, много лет спустя.... ты же успел отличился в этом даже в рамках данной темы... то "бугага" и "Метлин не знает всего" (кстати, он действительно "знает все!" (с) by RimGaz :)), то ты с Александром Юрьевичем уже "бок о бок трудился", что, вроде как, предполагает некую более положительную коннотацию... see what i mean? =) treat others like you want to be treated yourself... and don't tell me you don't believe in being decent....other than that, nothing personal... regards =)

хехе...опять тебя неправильно информировали, Азат уж лучше Романа язык то знает и поусерднее будет, это точно... кто твой информатор, колись:p
не заглаза говорю, мы с ним частенько спорили на парах, чем я возможно подпортил отношения с ним, но не мог я не спорить, такой уж вот, в поисках истины блин! Знаешь, уж это лучше чем просто отсижывать его пары или вообще не приходить! и я пару раз сумел ему доказать свою правоту(например он не знал как будет крепления для лыж - bindings а я знал, про оргкомитет мы спорили, он настаивал на Steering Committee, а я на Organizing Committee, в итоге выяснилось что предпочтительнее мой вариант, да ваще перечислять неохото, просто при всем уважении хочу сказать что не существует всезнаек, да и не надо, надо чтобы каждый профессионально делал свое дело, лучше быть специалистом узкого профиля, но таким, чтоб "вах какой умница") хотя бесспорно Метлин знает в сто крат больше чем мы все тут вместевзятые и весь ФРГФ.
Жалко только что его знания вомногом невостребованны, студенты предпочитают прогуливать пары его, т.к. он добряк и ничего за это не будет никому!
К Александру Юрьевичу отношусь с огромным уважением не только за знания, но и за то какой он добрый и отзывчивый человек! Если у меня возникают трудности, он никогда не отмахивался, а всегда охотно помогал, даже если в нерабочее время)).
Внимательно перечитай мой пост про мультитран, там нет ни малейшего намека на пренебрежение. Этот словарь да и кстати форум - место номер один куда я обращаюсь когда возникают трудности с переводом.
И огромный респект не только профессорам которые составляют словари, но и тем УМНИЦАМ которые сидят в форуме и всегда рады помочь, когда я со всеми своими словарями просто оказываюсь в тупике!
Смысл поста заключался в том, что плюс к этому я пользуюсь поисковиками чтобы увидеть использование того или иного термина в разных контекстах, это дает более обьемную картинку о нем.

Russian Stereotypes
By Dmitry Paranyushkin / Way to Russia Travel & Business Guides

www.waytorussia.net



The way of life in Russia is very simple. Russians love to eat rye bread with herring and drink vodka the same way British drink their 5 o’clock tea. The fashion for fur coats and hats is at all times high and the cold winters are impossible to survive. The university professors have to sell matryoshkas to foreigners, and former teachers work as security guards and loaders. The average salary is $150 per month, but president Putin is still loved by all the nation. Playing balalaika and drinking vodka is their only entertainment and refuge from this hostile world. Especially, in light of the fact that at any moment there can be another explosion set up by the Chechens that will put an end to this miserable existence. The only hope is the children, who are keen fans of the band TaTu and dream of fleeing the country as soon as they are 18. A few dozen people who managed to make some money on the immense oil fields now live in exile, and Russia will soon go back to communism.

Seems like an interesting country, doesn’t it? If you truly believe some of the things above, you urgently need to get a visa and buy a ticket to Russia to make sure you have and adequate perception of reality. Or at least see this unique country before it ceases to exist.
Just to prepare you for the trip, we decided to shed some light on these myths. Hopefully next time there will be fewer people packing their trekking gear instead of the casual clothes and cashing all their credit card money expecting no ATMs next time they travel.

Let’s start with the most practical topic, prices. With Moscow steadily earning the 3rd place the list of the world’s most expensive cities, how can one expect a family to survive on a $150 salary? Yes, these are the official figures, but the majority of Russians get most of their salary in sealed envelopes to save on taxes, so the rumors about total poverty are simply not true. While life in Russia is cheaper than in Europe, it is perhaps even more expensive than in the US. That is unless you live in a small town like Borovichi, have a free apartment from the good old Soviet system, and don’t mind buying your groceries from the market on a regular basis. Besides, most Russians have small private datchas (countryside houses), where they spend summers and grow vegetables and berries. The thing is, if you want the western standard of living, then Moscow or St. Petersburg will come at a high price. However, if you travel to smaller towns, everything is going to be much cheaper.

The fur hats and coats is a total myth. While some Russian women like to wear fur coats in winter, majority of people prefer more practical clothes or simply can’t afford these $2000 coats produced in Greece, actually. Also, if you see somebody wearing a fur hat, there’s a 80% chance he is a foreigner. Sometimes this myth is intensified with the idea that Russians also like to carry rifles, which come handy to kill occasional bears roaming around, but just recently this became an official state secret, so we can’t elaborate.

The fact that there is a big unemployment problem, especially among those who used to work in the public sector, is true. However, things are improving and those who were able to adapt to the new realities usually managed to find a good position that utilizes their potential in full. It’s not 1993 anymore…

The total fear of terrorist acts and all kinds of natural disasters and catastrophes is something that is very often exploited by media. But a simple explanation is that Russia occupies one sixth of the world’s territory and basically, with everything else equal, it is supposed to account for roughly 17% (one sixth) of all disasters in the world. As for the terrorist acts, well, Russia is not more dangerous than any other western country nowadays. Given the state of today’s politics, Russia holds the same risks in this regard as the U.S. or Europe, unfortunately. Just stay away from the “risky” areas, such as Chechnya and it will not affect you in any way.

It is also a popular stereotype that Russians are racist. This is simply not true. While other countries are buried deep in their immigration policies, concerns, and debates, Russia is further relaxing its immigration policy. There are talks that no visas will be needed for EU citizens as soon as 2008, and there are incentives for workers from the neighboring CIS countries to come and work on a legal basis in Russia. In a recent nationwide poll conducted by VTsIOM (the local research agency), only 10% of Russians said they are concerned with immigration issues. In fact, in a country that is a home to so many different nationalities and that was always promoting the idea of being equal irrespective of status or race, racism is simply not possible.

The popular portrayal of Russia as a country that is steadily moving towards economic collapse and authoritarian government is something that might sell well, but is far from reality. The case of Yukos and Khodorkovsky, back tax claims, and other recent events are, of course, alarming, but it is simply a natural stage of the initial capital accumulation. Many capitalist countries went through this, and many democratic societies have rich establishments, while a majority of private property is also distributed among a few people (or families).
Russia is simply repeating the standard path and you can’t expect the total transformation in just 15 years. Two steps forward, one step back, but we’ll get there! Besides, the potential for growth, especially in public sector and hi-tech sectors is impressive and can’t be ignored.

Overall, Russia is a very diverse and interesting country, which has its flaws and gems. The best approach is to be friendly, open-minded, and to preferably come with a lot of money. Try to enjoy the sights, have lots of fun, go to clubs, do a trekking trip in Siberia, get yourself invited for a dinner with a Russian family, and perhaps even invest in some small company that might become a future Microsoft.

English_Teacher
04-04-2007, 14:31
A distributor is a company that buys and sells products in its own name from a company (the Principal). It has a formal agreement with the Principal and is allocated a territory which they must manage effectively... they are expected to behave as if they are part of the Principal company. A sub-distributor is a 3rd company that signs a contract with the main distributor and is given similar rights, although usually for a smaller territory.

A dealer is different, since they are not usually resposnsible for a territory and there can be more than one in close proximity, competing for the same customers.

An agent is also different, since they work on commission and do not normally sign sales contracts in their own name.

04-04-2007, 15:25
distributor (дистрибьютор, не путать с представительством) - грубо говоря, это ввозчик в страну продукции компании Х силами своей внешней логистики либо FOB.
subdistributor (субдистр) - рыба-прилипала к первому из-за отсутствия внешней логистики.
dealer (дилер) - оптовый клиент distributor'а (subdistr), продающий subdealer'у (опт), reseller'у (розница) или конечному потребителю, если есть своя розница, продукцию компании Х.

Компания может закупать у нас ОЕМ-версии и перепродавать их своим дилерам - сборщикам. В этом случае компания выступает в качестве субдистрибьютера.

The song is ok but needs a lot of work, for one you really need to work on your structure of the song, instead of making it all the same through the entire song how about adding in a break at around 3min, with no beat just some strings etc and then leting it buidl up back to the beat

i had a listen but its not quite what im looking for, what i think is that
it has a lack of good structure, like it needs sections like an intro, outro
for example. i think some of the drums dont sound full enough, compression
can help on things like kick drums and bass lines, i can t really hear a
good bass line, some of the sounds you used are interesting but sometimes
the pitch doesnt sound in tune with the rest.
in general you are on the right track, just keep practicing and try make
tunes like your favourite songs and with time you will get heaps better, but
a good start!

Unfortunately these productions are not what we are looking for.
First off, they are not aggressive enough. Second, the production quality is lacking to a degree that we would have to do considerable amount of work with you in order to get them up to the quality we require for a 12" release.
Third, the tracks themselves are not formatted in a DJ friendly manner. When you understand how vinyl works (unlike digital, and digital djs who have just destroyed dance music completely) and how that matters to a DJ, its clear that these are not suitable for release for the DJ, vinyl or otherwise. There is simply no mixability factor.

I used to work out at home all the time before, but then stopped. Now I need to get back in a shape, you know! Going on vacation and need to look perfect or close to it! LOL!
P.S. I listen to my fav music also, because I have an iPod, so it's no problem! And my instructor is very good as well!:)
I like that machine you have! I also like.... hmmmm what do you call it? that machine for running! It's great! Wish I had one at home, but it is too big! The professional one, I mean!:(

my friend just sent me an interesting article!



High heels 'may improve sex life'

Hers may be a little on the high side
Wearing higher heels - although perhaps not stilettos - may improve your pelvic floor muscles and in doing so boost your sex life, a study suggests.
An Italian urologist and self-professed lover of the sexy shoe set out to prove that high heels were not as bad for women's health as some suggest.
The shoe has been linked to a range of problems - from corns to schizophrenia.
But in a letter to European Urology, Dr Maria Cerruto said her research showed it was time to stand up for the heel.
She said her study of 66 women under 50 found that those who held their foot at a 15 degree angle to the ground - the equivalent of a two inch heel - had as good posture as those who wore flat shoes, and crucially showed less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles.
This suggested the muscles were at an optimum position, which could well improve their strength and ability to contract.
The pelvic floor muscles are an essential component of the female body. As well as assisting sexual performance and satisfaction, they provide vital support to the pelvic organs, which include the bladder, bowels and uterus.
But they often weaken after pregnancy and childbirth, and as the woman gets older. There are exercises to strengthen them, but Dr Cerruto hopes her findings may eliminate the need for these.
"Women often have difficulty in carrying out the right exercises for the pelvic zone and wearing heels could be the solution," she said.
"Like many women, I like high-heeled shoes," she added. "It's good to know they have potential health benefits."
Gill Brook, a women's health physiotherapist in Bradford, stressed the findings did not suggest that stilettos were a good thing for those keen on improving their pelvic floor function.
"But for women who like a slightly higher heel, these are reassuring findings - although we haven't yet done away with the need for regular exercises to maintain what is such an important part of the female body."

An English professor wrote the words:

" A woman without her man is nothing"

on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate
it correctly.



All of the males in the class wrote:

"A woman, without her man, is nothing."



All the females in the class wrote:

"A woman: without her, man is nothing."
