why don't we coin new words?

Posted by Dai Lao Su on September 23, 2010

If we look into certain English words' roots, we can see from time to time new words have been coined - first used by journalists, poets, novelists, playwrights. And with the advent of computers and internet, new coinage should reach worldwide readers very quickly.Just for fun here, join me to coin words.Here my first coinage: clunkuter, a poor old computer, from the word clunker, an old delapidated car plus the word computer.Dang it, how upset I am with this clunkuter! I'm always sweaty anytime

Floods in my town

Posted by Mr. Bob on September 22, 2010

Corpus Christi has gotten the most rain ever recorded here. We are still having rains here and some flooding but only 44 families have had their homes flooded, so not too major a disaster for most of the city.Of course our hearts go out to those with the home full of water. The families have been given shelter and food until the water goes down. Maybe the houses need to be moved to higher ground.I am not posting photos of this because we have all seen many flood photos lately. Some people have t

Summer Holidays Have Finished -- the Life is Going on...

Posted by Natasha on September 21, 2010

How to cope with them? The answer is simple -- to do something interesting! This will help control your emotions! Doing sports, reading, watching anime, surfing the Internet, lea

My Orchard After Rain

The River I Bathed inIt has been raining almost for a week here in Ukraine and only today I suddenly realized that summer is over and I miss it so much, the time flew too quickly for me... bathing and playing in the warm water, splashing it over yourself when the heat is intolerable and feeling the wind blowing and sending little shivers down your body, lying in the sun, walking barefooted on the grass catching the morning due, listening to birds singing...Why I re

The problem #1 in Russia

Posted by Artem Prygin on September 20, 2010

Hello to all!Today I want to tell you something about russian "tradition", that actually made us famous and.. hm.. unpopular all over the world. Of course, I talk about drinking alcohol, especially Russian vodka. Someone thinks it's normal, someone finds it funny, someone doesn't pay any attention to it. But facts are sad.Russians drink about 18 litres of alcohol in an year per person. The number of 8 litres per person is fatally dangerous for the nation, so the Russian nation has more than a do

Song Of A Traveling Son
By Meng Jiao
Needle and thread in the hands of a dear mama
Makes clothes for her boy who is leaving.
Carefully she sews and thoroughly she mends,
Be afraid that her son will delay for home.
Even daylily also have love,
But how can they repay sun for three spring months of light?

The cloud in the middle part of the photo is very unique.

This one is good to be as a model of the oil painting someday.

The cloud in this one is also special.
