I've been looking for the sound track toono luck. I thought it might be

to me to rent the video, or buy one. Here are the listings from Half.com

http://www.half.com/products/videos/detail.cfm?item=1983281

The "Classical Gas" I remember was written by Mason Williams. I used to 
watch the Smothers Brothers show all of the time because I went to high

Another thing I found was a group called Classical Gas. You can download

 I have an mp3 of Vanessa Mae's "Classical Gas," full version, if anybody
wants it.  I really like it (I guess liking is in the ear of the beholder

MP3 is not a bootleg copy because I got it off of Vanessa Mae's website.

http://www.shortfatguy.com/buffett/setlists/list87.htm

scroll to the bottom of the page

The name of the song is "That's What Living Means to Me" from the album 
Heat, 1988

That's What Living is to Me
by Jimmy Buffett
Jason Mason hears a sound
A whistle blows in Congo town
And the mail boat's in, the mail boat's in...here's the line
It brings him things from oh so far
Old magazines and snickers bars
A simple man, a simple land
The world's too big to understand
  Be good and you will be lonesome
  Be lonesome and you will be free
  Live a lie and you'll live to regret it
  That's what living is to me
  That's what living is to me
On a timeless beach on Hispanola
A young sips a diet cola
She's worlds apart, worlds apart
The spirit of the black king still
Reverberates through Haitian hills
He rules the sea and all the fish
What if he had a TV dish?
In some far off regions the foreign legions
Keep the thieves and the predators at bay
While closer to home some bad boys still roam
The streets aren't safe but give it one more day
One more day . . .
The stories from my favorite books
Still take on many different looks
And now I'm gone, home again
The time has come the walrus said
And little oysters hide their head
My Twain of thought is loosely bound
I guess it's time to Mark this down

Re: [SaF] Brenda Spencer... very long!

2001-03-12 Thread Mayan Avitable
ily. A couple of months after the shooting, 
Norm Buell found himself on Wallace Spencer's front doorstep. "I went over 
there father-to-father, hoping to talk to him. I wanted to tell him that I 
was a single father, too, raising four kids alone, and I know it's a hard 
job and a thankless job, and that I know he probably did the best he could, 
and that Christy was going to be okay." He could see Spencer through the 
screen door, sitting in front of the TV. "He wouldn't talk to me," Buell 
remembers. "He said to go away, and l respected that." He has long since 
lost his sympathy for the man. When another neighborhood is on the evening 
news, and he sees the stunned faces of parents in Jonesboro or Springfield 
or Pearl or Paducah, Norm Buell finds himself hungry for any scrap of 
information about the families of the children who kill, hoping, as he 
still does with Brenda Spencer, to make some sense of it.

Down the familiar street, the flag in front of Cleveland Elementary stirs 
just slightly in the breeze, and the sun glints off the tiny bronze plaque 
commemorating the bloodshed that was never supposed to happen again. The 
school itself seems bleak and forgotten, the laughter of its children long 
silent.

Personally, being connected to several of these incidents has been

Cleveland Elementary School. The news spread fast. Within an hour, people 
who knew me thought that I had been shot. As more details were released, 
there was a sigh of relief -- different school.

My mother helped open Santana High School, taught art there until she

Does anyone know the pixel/image size (for graphics purposes) of a CD liner

an image to fit a CD case perfectly.
Front liner note =  ? x ?

StarOffice can import Powerpoint files.

Another free presentation program is Corel Presentations 9, which is

  Hi to everyone...
 
  I am curious...
  is there a way  (short of directly asking the site owner)
  to find out WHO the ISP of a particular web site is...
 
  I have come across a handful of sites that are similar to what
  I am working on --- but in the midst of my work I have
  determined it is now necessary for me to find another
  ISP for my site...
 
  an ISP that can handle Streaming Media... one that supports
  Frontpage (as the page creation software)... one that also has
  direct unlimited FTP access...  and one that allows for lots of
  file transfers (not sure what that term is --- but one that would
  allow a visitor to my site to download large files of their choice
  without extra cost to me for hogging up the servers
   *___whatever__ I think it's referred
   to as bandwith__* ___ but not sure___*
 
 
  I guess while I am at it these are related so I'll list them here
  as well...
 
 I need to find:
 1. the ISP that is providing service to some hand selected
  similar sites as mine so I can inquire about their hosting
  services for myself...
 2.  I need to outright find an ISP that provides the following for
a
  USA site:
  a) high bandwith exchange
  b) Frontpage (FP98) extension support
  c) Streaming Media
  d) Real Audio support
  e) unlimited direct FTP access
  f) fast speeds
  g) great Tech / Customer Service support
 3.  I need to findthe  *exact* location to the Real Audio  *free*

 I've been to the site and found it once -- but can't see it
  anymore...
 I checked :   www.real.comAND www.realaudio.com
 but I don't see it
 
  out of curiousity  --- when you all want to play an audio file and you
  click on it on someone's website --- WHAT  media player pops up

I remember hearing it too. The article described different things people do
when they are trying to remember something -- look up, as if they could read
it in the brain, say the first letter, and other common gestures we see
people do when trying to remember something.

I had recently been thinking about that very same article -- from the
1970's, I think, because I was trying to remember the name of Nixon's
running mate who became the VP for a while. The only name I could think of
was Al Shapiro. As it turned out, I had many of the right letter -- just
anagramed a little.

Does the name Greenberg sound like a likely author? I know he was mainly an
anthropological linguist, but maybe he wrote it? Maybe it was Brown?

 live in Amarillo, TX (where I'm from) but they have since moved also.  I
 heard that they had moved to Plano, TX but I just called information and
 they are not listed. I've searched most of the alumni sites that I could
 find and one had him listed (I believe that it was classmates.com) but I
had
 to pay to obtain his personal info and I couldn't bring myself to pay the
 $30 or whatever it was for one email address-I may have to resort to that.
 :( OR if anyone on here is already a paying member--I would appreciate the

 His name is John Kaddatz. (Sorry, I can't remember his middle name but his
 last name isn't exactly all that common)
 His parents are Don and Sue (I will be thrilled to even be able to contact
 them to find him)
 His birthdate is January of '77.  We graduated in '96 from Amarillo High
 School in Amarillo, TX. He would have joined the service in either 96 or
97.

 I know that's not much help.  I'm more than happy to do all the legwork if

most
 of the alumni sites...oh and I've also tried numerous "People Searches"

"Al lado del camino"
Fito Páez.


Me gusta estar al lado del camino
fumando el humo mientras todo pasa
Me gusta abrir los ojos y estar vivo
Tener que vérmelas con la resaca
entonces navegar se hace preciso
en barcos que se estrellen en la nada
Vivir atormentado de sentido, creo que esta, sí,
esta es la parte mas pesada

En tiempos donde nadie escucha a nadie
En tiempos donde todos contra todos
En tiempos egoístas y mezquinos
En tiempos donde siempre estamos solos
Habrá que declararse incompetente
en todas las materias del mercado
Habrá que declararse un inocente
o habrá que ser abyecto y desalmado
Yo ya no pertenezco a ningún ismo
me considero vivo y enterrado
Yo puse las canciones en tu walkman
el tiempo a mi me puso en otro lado
Tendré que hacer lo que es y no debido
Tendré que hacer el bien y hacer el daño
No olvides que el perdón es lo divino
Y errar a veces suele ser humano

No es bueno nunca hacerse de enemigos
que no estén a la altura del conflicto
Que piensan que hacen una guerra
y se hacen pis en la cama como chicos
Que rondan por siniestros ministerios
haciendo la parodia del artista
Que todo lo que brilla en este mundo
tan solo les da caspa y les da envidia

Yo era un pibe triste y encantado
de Beatles, Caña legui y maravillas
los libros, las canciones y los pianos,
el cine, las traiciones, los enigmas
mi padre, las cervezas, las pastillas, los misterios, el whisky malo,
los óleos, el amor, los escenarios
el hambre, el frío, el crímen, el dinero y mis 10 tías
me hicieron este hombre enreverado
si alguna vez me cruzas por la calle
regalame tu beso y no te aflijas

Si ves que estoy pensando en otra cosa
no es nada malo es que paso una brisa
la brisa de la Muerte enamorada
que ronda como un ángel asesino
Mas no te asustes siempre se me pasa
es solo la intuición de mi destino

Me gusta estar al lado del camino
fumando el humo mientras todo pasa
Me gusta regresarme del olvido
para acordarme en sueños de mi casa
El chico que jugaba a la pelota
del 49585
nadie nos prometio un jardín de rosas
hablamos del peligro de estar vivos

No vine a divertir a tu familia
mientras el mundo se cae a pedazos
Me gusta estar al lado del camino
Me gusta sentirte a mi lado
Me gusta estar al lado del camino
Dormirte cada noche entre mis brazos
Al lado del camino
Al lado del camino
Al lado del camino
Es mas entretenido y mas barato
Al lado del camino
Al lado del camino.

   I can reference you many sites about Rex Gildo, but the problem is,
  every single one of them is in German.  I swear I looked hard for an
  English site about him.  Admittedly, I come to this report to you
  somewhat hesitantly, since my conclusions are based on what I found at
  those German sites and I don't actually read German. :-)
Buying this song on a CD would require you to hit the Overseas
market.
  Here is one such site:

Re: [SaF] Print Web Page

2000-10-19 Thread Mayan Avitable

A web page can be printed from the "print" command located in the "file
menu. Do you need it printed differently? You can also save a web page as a
graphic by using Capture Express: http://www.captureexpress.com/. It's a
free program that works really well.

I like Ditto too. Sometimes I have good luck with Alta Vista's image search

If you prefer clipart images, try www.clipart.com
From there, you'll find quite a few other clip art sites as well.

Re: [SaF] language question

2000-10-06 Thread Mayan Avitable

If the product were to be sold in the U.S.,  how would "raw materials" be
interpreted? Does a sweet box have sweets in it?or is it made of wood? I
have too many questions to answer the question. Here "all natural", or "all
natural products" are used often.

 Hello..  Loved the grammar lesson! It's been ummm since

 How about --

 or

 Our products are, and will always be, made from raw materials.

 Hello Mayan,
 sweets is the thing in question. Could the guy write "The product is
 all natural"? Or should he indicate that "The sweets are made of
 natural products"?
