Anul Nou 1996

Au fost şase luni din cele mai bune şi din cele mai rele din viaţa mea. În August 1995 m-am mutat în SUA.

Au fost cele mai bune fiindcă am ajuns şi eu pe pământul făgăduinţei, cel cântat de Hollywood.

Au fost cele mai rele pentru că în urma unui lung şir de dezamăgiri în februarie am ajuns în cel rău punct din viaţa mea. Un job temporar la Electronic Specialty. O noapte la închisoare şi după aceea două săptămâni la spitalul de nebuni, în grija doctorului Proano. Dar când stau acum şi mă gândesc mai nimic nu a fost din vina mea.

Unul din punctele culminante a fost întâmplarea de mai jos, care a contribuit decisiv la intrarea mea într-un fel de şoc.

După 21 decembrie 1995 m-am mutat în Vancouver, WA (nu Vancouver BC care este de 4 ori mai mare şi este în Canada), la sfatul lui Aurel Popescu (care semăna cu Ahmet Ertegun), pastorul, tatăl ... am uitat cum o cheamă, "fata lui Popescu", aia măritată cu Tudor Toader, care este ortodox şi seamănă cu... (Fata lui Popescu semăna tare cu Ana Blandiana şi mi-a fost colegă de serviciu (era în altă secţie, vecină, la AVX în 1999-2000 şi a murit de cancer nu ştiu câţiva ani după aceea).

Deci în decembrie 1995 m-am mutat în Vancouver chiar lângă AVX (Kyocera - prescurtarea de la Kyoto Ceramics, da, celebra firmă japoneză). Pe atunci orice român care nu avea servici mergea la AVX şi era angajat sigur, salariu minim, cu care puteai să-ţi plăteşti chiria şi facturile.

Numai că eu aveam servici, la Sheridan Fruit Co în downtown Portland, tot cu salariu minim, dar nu-mi plăcea, mă plângeam la toţi de tot felul de probleme, reale de altfel, (ceea ce ştiam eu atunci nu era decât vârful aisbergului problemelor mele, una din chestiile pe care am aflat-o mai târziu a fost că în spatele magazinului a fost o biserică satanistă iar pastorul stătea în blocul acela, chiar îl cunoşteam din vedere, venea tot timpul pe la magazin îmbrăcat în negru, cu ţăcălie şi cu o prietenă şi aia îmbrăcată în negru şi platinată). (Chiar într-o zi a fost un shooting şi pe acolo pe strada aia şi a venit un poliţist şi ne explica cum să procedăm în caz de... bla bla dar vorbea cam în jargoane şi eu nu pra am înţeles ce spunea). Mereu erau maşini de poliţie pe acolo.

Deci m-au sfătuit să plec de la Mladin şi să mă mut în Vancouver în statul vecin, adică peste fluviul Columbia, la 10-20 mile distanţă de Portland unde "sigur voi găsi servici" la Kyocera cum spuneau toţi atunci. Şi m-am mutat. Şi eram aşa de happy, încercam să uit de probleme, de fapt nu aveam timp să mă mai gândesc la tot ce s-a întâmplat până atunci, aveam o maşină, aveam un servici, şi restul puteau fi doar nişte coincidenţe nenorocite.

Dar am început să am probleme cu maşina, am lipsit de vreo 2 ori de la servici, şi am început să dau semne de psihoză. Pe 12 sau 13 ianuarie m-au dat afară de la Sheridan. (cred că pe lângă eu mai umbla cineva la maşină, odată mi s-a stricat distribuitorul la care mai umblam şi eu iar odată am condus din downton Portland în Vancouver, vreo 15 mile, cu o scurgere la pompa de benzină, lăsând o dâră de benzină tot drumul). Dar pentru cei care cred că totul a fost din vina mea, urmează aici exemplul. În noaptea de 31 decembrie 1995 am fost acasă la Nelu Ciorba, cel care seamănă cu Victor Orban, actualul director de la Romanian Times, care lucra şi el ca tehnician la AVX,  şi avea o bisericuţă pocăită (el era lider şi tot timpul spunea la predici că anul 2000 de fapt era anul 1996, că s-a greşit la calcularea datei naşterii lui Iisus, dar dacă cineva se uită în ziarul lui, va vedea că el spune tot felul de chestii din astea de 18 ani) într-un spaţiu închiriat la o biserică americană, având serviciile decalate cu ale lor, cu Dan Costan, pe care abia îl cunoscusem şi lucra şi el la AVX ca tehnician, cu nevestele şi familia lui Ciorba. (Ciorba avea şi o fetiţă mică de vreun an care după aceea a devenit autistă). Am ascultat ceva muzică clasică la un pick-up antic, am stat la masă după care am plecat acasă devreme.

Mie în România îmi plăcea să citesc ştirile, am avut o colecţie (incompletă) de România Liberă până am plecat, acolo am citit, şi în Evenimentul despre loteria vizelor.

Apăruse la uşa "noului nostru apartament" din Vancouver nişte mostre promoţionale ale ziarului local, The Columbian şi mă abonasem. Deci a doua zi, pe 1 ianuarie când mă uit în ziar ce văd. La 100-200 metri de unde stăteam s-a întâmplat ceva descris cu atâta talent în ziarul local. În afară de Columbianul, unde trebuie să plăteşti să vezi tot articolul, mai este aici, unde poţi să-l vezi dacă îţi faci un cont gratuit.

http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-23349630.html

Eu încă nu am cont acolo, nu am avut timp. Dar îmi amintesc două chestii. S-a tras cu o carabină uşoară, de sport. Încărcătura a fost modificată pentru a nu răni prea mult. Totul a fost simulat, cu un mic detaliu, tipa a ajuns totuşi în spital cu un glonţ într-o fesă.

(Cu sora tipei din articol am lucrat în 1999-2000 la AVX-Kyocera, era măritată cu un mexican şi a fost gravidă o perioadă cât a lucrat acolo, nu-mi amintesc dacă a născut până am plecat.)

Chiar la AVX mai lucra o tipă Lăcrămioara, soţia lui Stelică Andrei, Elena (Lăcrămioara) Andrei dar mai în vârstă, cu facultate din România, era în schimbul I şi câteodată venea şi vorbea cu mine, dar imediat o chemau la interfon (pager). Lăcră este mişto, modelă, şi tot aşa, brunetă. Cred că am poze în calc pe undeva, cu Stelică sigur.

Azi am fost la biblioteca locală şi m-am uitat la microfilmele cu Oregonianul din perioada respectivă. Nu am putut să găsesc articolul dar răsfoind aşa microfilmele am văzut ştiri din perioada de atunci care mi-au trezit multe amintiri şi m-au ajutat să-mi amintesc data când s-a întâmplat faza. Tipa venea acasă de la o petrecere sau de la o discotecă ceva de anul nou. După ce mi-am amintit data, am găsit articolul în două locuri pe web.

Vorbesc unii politicieni de la noi de compromisuri bla bla. E doar tragere de timp şi fugă de răspundere. Am încercat de atâtea ori. Chiar azi la un moment dat la jumătatea zilei am deschis nu ştiu ce opţiune din Firefox şi până la data aia aveam vreo 2000 mii de căutări pe google de când am instalat ultima dată Fedora, cam o lună. Cam tot de atâtea ori am încercat să stau de vorbă cu oamenii în ultimii ani. Toţi vorbesc în doi peri, scot din context, te păcălesc şi trag de timp. De aceea mi-am făcut blog. Eu am să încerc între timp să postez cât mai multe.

Chiar, postul de ambasador al României în SUA în perioada aceea a fost vacant, chiar înainte de a merge în spital, prin februarie 1996 a venit dl.Geoană.

Postarea următoare va fi despre cum am fost arestat în februarie, 96, pentru că făcusem o psihoză şi sunam tot timpul 112 (echivalentul din State) până a venit poliţia şi m-a luat şi am stat o noapte în jail, încă o noapte nedormită după 7 la rând, voi scana documentele, ce s-a întâmplat în spital, şi după şi procesul (am fost acuzat de assault IV (simple) şi resisting arrest, când a apărut poliţia o ţineam pe nevastă-mea care vroia să fugă (ăsta a fost assault-ul) şi după aia a şi fugit şi nu a văzut cum două poliţiste m-au dat cu spray şi m-au bătut cu bastoanele). Am scris pe scurt despre acestea în diferite alte postări, voi încerca să scriu mai detaliat. Acuzaţiile au fost amânate pentru doi ani în vederea anulării în anumite condiţii. După ce mi-am luat un avocat care mi-a şi dat banii înapoi (toţi banii noştri, 800 dolari).

Tot ce a fost aici nu a fost fără compensare, pentru mine a fost şi foarte exciting în acelaşi timp, viaţa în America are un farmec inegalabil, dar din păcate au suferit şi alţii şi nu aş vrea eu să rămân de fraier la toate fazele astea.

Monica şi Dan Costan, ianurie 1996

(Când m-am mutat în Vancouver, Nelu Ciorba, care acum e la Romanian Times, mi-a făcut cunoştinţă cu Dan Laurenţiu Costan, care spunea că e născut cam prin 1970, din jud.Suceava, România. Ultima dată când vorbit cu el în faţă (nu la telefon) s-a declarat extremist şi mi-a spus că am o minte bolnavă. Nu ştiu exact cine este dar mai recent mi-a fost sugerat, indirect, că ar semăna cu recent decedatul Larry Hagman, JR din serialul Dallas).

AVX VANCOUVER WA

This is the Seven Eleven where in December 1995 a shooting took place. Days after i moved in there, at nearby Fox Pointe Appartments here below hoping i was going to work at AVX, nearby. A Romanian girl has been shot in the butt with a rifle from a car but in the article i read in the newspaper the next day then said the charge of the cartridge has been modified so it won't have so much power. Later (in 1999) i got to work at AVX, Kyocera Ceramics on this map, with that girl' sister who was now married with a Mexican and was pregnant for the majority of the time i worked in there. Hope i will later remember their name (Nelu Ciorba from Romanian Times in Portland knows them). I lived at Fox Pointe until July 1996 when i moved to Beaverton, OR, closer to Credence where i was working. I remembered when i moved i've been worried about that big antenna in the middle of a field in the back of Seven Eleven on that picture as i knew it's not really healthy to live nearby one of those. I'm wandering who it belonged to.

I've been looking both in Oregonian and Columbian Archives and i called Columbian in Vancouver. It was in one of the papers. But can't find it now.

The Wise Men Say Don't Go Crushing

It was a couple of years ago at Spirit Mountain Casino when i saw a t-shirt on an older guy who seemed ex-military by face and allure saying "Go after the big ones". It took me a while to figure what that meant, back then i was high all the time from smoke coming from burning pellets in the ground around the mole holes, it took me more than a year and actually until recently to really start to go after the big ones, while refining my technique. Went over the shininess of not cropping or even uploading images, but only using links that were breaking too oftenly and images not being aligned and harder to recognize. But some did recognize enough, went past my mistakes and got all kinda discrete encouragements from all directions plus my own results kept me going.

I knew about Don S. Davis since long time ago, when i figured he was the manager at Brake Department at Les Schwab Aloha (actually Beaverton), next to the old Intel to be demolished for decades Intel factory, back during my job in 97, he was one of the first that triggered the whole process actually. (I didn't know who he actually really was, as Hungarian).

Yesterday for the first time i put a new brake caliper on my truck the way i did back then and saw immediately it was leaking, but only under pressure, with vacuum power on (engine started). Why did i do so? Because the caliper had the surface of contact with the banjo painted and i erased the paint with sandpaper and didn't see the grooves the old caliper had.

What else can i say. In front of my boss, all the others where my seniors, in four months i put hundreds of calipers on cars, never caring about crush washers and stuff. I mean. I thought i knew how to do it, i did it on my cars before, but never changed calipers, which involves one more thing, the connector (also called a banjo).

Truth is, i can't remember. If they were new washers in the boxes with calipers, if i used them. But i am pretty sure i was never cleaning the banjos. Nobody did. Most likely by fear of contamination of the fluid with dirt from the surface and never checking for leaks the way i did yesterday on my truck.

Would have been good enough if we were checking the banjos for tiny drops of fluid after the test drive.

There are numerous the reasons a leak like this may occur, including dirty banjo, re-tightening the old crush(ed) washers, yesterday i used the new ones in the box but for some paranoid reason i untightened them to see if if i didn't forget to put one of the two.
What happens is they put (they should) in the box with callipers new annealed copper washers. What that means. By annealing, or heating copper at about 400 degrees C it becomes very soft and when you tighten them or "crush them", the soft copper take the shape of the two adjacent surfaces and in the same time hardens under the pressure of tightening due to a phenomenon called plastic deformation. They become "crushed". Then you can't reuse them for the purpose of sealing, unless you anneal them and i think it can be done by heating them on a regular stove until glowing.

As i said, i did hundreds of them without a worry and nobody ever said anything. I apologize to anybody it may concern if they had problems after. On an occasion, he asked me to finish work on a car after another guy stripped a pin, i told him and he came with hammer and bent the pin to secure him place.

On another occasion i went for a test drive with an Astro Van. At the intersection at NAPA a 80 years old man by the name Albert probably terminally ill coming from opposite direction made a left turn without giving the right of way. I was doing 35 going forward through the intersection, hit the newly done brakes and skidded 30 ft leaving the marks and stopped exactly when he like in a slow motion sequence came and hit my van. There was not much damage, i tried to talk to the guy, the guy was deaf, here comes this woman saying why i'm abusing the old man by yelling at him, he gave me a Costco card when i asked to exchange information, and then he went straight to my  boss and spend the next couple of days talking to him and Bill asked me  not to report it to DMV because the old man could loose his driver. Right after the accident a couple of guys with a camcorder (how they used to be called) came to me and gave me a phone number to call because they had everything filmed. In the end i filled the DMV report but without the amount of damage cause nobody wanted to tell me, and the report didn't get through. A few weeks later i saw the van coming again in our shop, maybe for them to say i didn't do the job right.

They were others in there, i wrote about on occasions. The good looking colonel from Stargate, the vocalist from Creedence Clearwater Revival, Ivan Morrison, Bob Dylan (not so sure), bassist from No Doubt, with apparition as a customer of the diva herself, the manager who i thing was a Dracula actor, etc.. I mean. I thought i knew how to do it, i did it on my cars before, but never changed calipers, which involves one more thing, the connector (also called a banjo). All, together with previous and following good to write about on a new resume for a job in galaxy far far away.

And Eric. From what i remember, he looked like the head of the Police hear in Tualatin. Could he be the guy i spoke with on the phone today when i complained about a wheel being stolen by the same guys who are always trying to help me by fixing my karma. The way he pronounced his name sounded more like Hammer of Hammond. Could that be the reason he didn't show up in person. I mean, i called 911 for God's sake.

It may be all these guys being actors they were following instructions from micro earpieces and they themselves had no idea what the were doing.

It may also be that all the customers that came in there were also actors and the cars were second hand cars bought from dealers for that purpose only. I once spoke (2002 or 2003) on the phone with my ex class master in High School, the Romanian teacher and she said that i am here the only real person among hundreds of thousands of actors. She sais she was in Romania (i called a number in Romania) but i think she was in Greece by the time and i her other identities are Romanian soprano Marina Krilovici and her Hungarian counterpart Gabriela Szigomnd.

It was two years later, in November 1999, i was working at AVX in Vancouver (WA, USA) fixing small capacitor testing machines and i asked half day off from my supervisor, Orville Oster whom i think was actually Axl Rose (Oster can be anagramated as Roset). He was coming at work only hours a day, having somebody from the team punch his card and when he was coming, was pulling me for extended cigarette brakes which lasted more than an hour. I remember in december the night shift supervisor wrote on a board "All time production record" after i fixed all machines (when i came, usually about 5 out of 25 were down).

I asked from my very nice supervisor for half day off to go and do the brakes on Angela's car, the 93 Nissan, BTW, a very nice car for those days, and went to Aloha and spoke to Dennis, can't remember if Tom (Don), others was still there but i think most were gone.

He did brakes all around, for a moderate price, and i left, i think it was raining or there was a bit of fog (yeah, November fog), on I5 not far from bridge over Columbia an accident occurred, traffic stopped suddenly, i was doing 70 like the rest of the traffic and i hit the newly done brakes, the wheels looked of course cause the car didn't have ABS, the rotors having a rough surface from just being turned, and i skidded about 100 ft and stopped in slow motion one feet from the car in front of me and the truck with three Mexicans behind also stopped one ft from my rear, and we were all surrounded by a cloud of smoke coming out of tires.

In december 95 after i've kicked of from Mladin's house (the guy who looked like Osama bin (m)Laden and a  Hungarian singer) i moved to Vancouver hoping i will work to AVX which didn't happen cause they had other plans for me. Next to where Dan Costan was living, at Fox Pointe Apts.. A few nights after or just before New Year i read on local paper that a girls has been shot (in the butt) at the 7/11 nearby.

I did get work at AVX four years later, and got to work the sister of that girl or herself, now married with a Mexican and always pregnant, who in turn proved to be a Hungarian soprano, whom i also met in Italy, under another identity which i also don't remember and later became Minister of Health in Romania.

Still have doubts about the identity of Nelu Ciorba, the Romanian technician who actually helped me get hired. Could had been be Orban himself?

Star guests apparitions: Then minor (17 years old officially) not yet a celebrity Mădălina Ghenea. Italian singer Nino d'Angelo who in 2004 when i went for 3 months in Romania made a song for me though i am not who suggested i was in that song. Engineer Don Henley (who couldn't right correctly in English), etc..

Supervisor of the operators was Adina Prața.

More names for my intergalactic resume.

Praegitzer and Siberia

Talking about orkin men of which i just wrote and my apparent "inability to keep a job".

I once had a job through a temporary agency at a firm named Praegitzer in Hillbsoro i guess (it's been more than 20 years since). Before year 2000 when i was still full of hope and American dream (maybe i should turn this into a blog post maybe if i could remember the date) and exact place.

So i think it was Manpower who sent me there, after an hours long screening process which included hand eye coordination and elementary math. But i think the first time i signed with Manpower was about this time of August 1995 in Salem. There i did a hand eye coordination test they said it was too accurate (off the scale) and they didn't hire me for Wafertech.

So i go there (at Praegitzer) in a Friday, there was this big meeting only for perms and i was in a different room with a guy who was adjusting some electronic receivers. When i say adjusting, i say, literally moving wires and bending walls between different compartments of several receivers which were about twice the size of a car stereo while looking at a scope. It seemed the guy was in a hurry to ship those. They gave me something to do, i can't remember now, and from time to time i was hearing the owner (old man Praegitzer) talking yelling something at the meeting with a bad accent that was adding to my lack of advanced English or so i thought, cause the only word i could understand, repeating like every minute or so, was Siberia, and then the public (about 50 persons, by the noise) applauded (not to be confounded with uploaded).

Towards the end of the day (why do i remember it was an evening) the guy told me those were receivers for a security firm or security of cell phones firms that were able to recognize the analog signature of a specific cell phone, like a fingerprint. That was again in 1996 or something.

Anyways. Here came the end of the day, it was a Friday, the guy with the receivers didn't say anything, or said see you Monday or something like that, everything seemed fine, didn't get any message from the temp firm, and i came back Monday.

However, on Monday when i went there, there was no more Praegitzer logo on the wall. I tried to enter, nobody. I contacted the temp agency who told me the company moved over the weekend and forgot to tell me about. They said i shouldn't bother to go next day to the next location.

Here is an old news article about Praegitzer since 1997. Dallas based? this is where i lived my first month in 1995 at Julian Mart who could actually have been Gregorian. Julian Mart apparently knew about this guy, back then i was telling him everything i was doing. (Me living in Dallas next to Salem created a lot of confusion among my relatives in Romania who thought i lived in Dallas Texas).

Julian even took us to a place called Southfork (next to a local river). In the picture. Most likely Veronica Mart (don't know the Hungarian name, right) next to "George Hârșovescu, the Romanian pilot from Salem" (Gyula Szombathy).

This is just an example. At every job i went to, short or long, i don't believe i met with normal people but always actors. One of the best examples is Axl Rose at AVX Vanvouver, former, current Kyocera, where he has been my supervisor for almost one year (but he was working part and floating time, only a few hours a day, always different).

AVX and Axl has some name similarity. I even have a picture with him since. His live stage name was also Orville Oster, and anagram of Oster ir Roset. Another guy i remember there, Tom Green, could have been General Greene who i think was killed in Afghanistan, shortly after i mentioned his name. The guy from Inner Circle, a fellow tech who didn't know the size of Allen wrenches in fraction of inches, black, fat, braids and everything. David Espasandin, day shift supervisor who could have been Major Omar Haisan. Not last and not least, Mădălina Ghenea, by the name of Elena Andrei, whom i met back in 97. Though in 97 Mădălina Ghenea was officially 9 years old and in reality was probably 16 posing as a 22-23.

Others are William Shatner (by the name Shanon), Leonardy Nimoy (Tom Allan), Cameron Diaz, others at Quadramed, including Macy Gray. Yes, the song was about me, the title of my first program in object oriented Delphi and my constant shortness of breath due to nasal congestions due to all kinda witchcraft.

Lumbini, Lumbee

Lumbee tribe from North Carolina has many commonalities with Nepal.

Historic Gautama Buddha is said to be born in Lumbini, Nepal.

Concentric, bi-dimensional lotus flowers with many petals and almost the colors of flag of Buddhism on medicine wheels. (on some medicine wheels i saw black is actually dark blue).
Native American Medicine Wheel

A version of Wheel Dharma from Buddhism

Flag of Buddhism (also similar with flag of Romania, a few ohter countries with colors in this order or another).

Tattoo from a woman in Nepal

Color black is fashionable in Nepal
 
And in Lumbee tribe
Antropologically. Women from both Nepal and North Carolina look close and distinct from other nations in both continents.

Between August 1999 and August 2000 i worked for AVX Vancouver, WA, US (not Canada) formerly Kyocera (Kyoto Ceramics) just north of Portland. AVX is based in South Carolina. There i had a colleague who said she was Native American, first in following pictures. Other colleagues were Orville Oster (Roset) who looked like Axl Rose, my supervisor, first picture, other celebrities look alike.

September 12

12:43 Ok a trecut. 9-11.

Am greșit ceva mai devreme și îmi cer scuze. Postarea ce o pierdusem și care demonstrează pe baza unui video de supraveghere că e nevoie de 32 de secunde pentru ca unda seismică să ajungă din Vrancea în București era asta.

Însă faza e că mai sunt încă niște secunde până încep să cadă chestiile, cineva într-o clădire mai mică cu bulină roșie ar avea timp să iasă, dacă nu doarme și îl alertează telefonul. O alarmă cu sonerie în clădire. Testați dvs. în propria clădire, cât timp v-ar trebui.

12:57 Este asta o imagine violentă? Este asta o imagine erotică? Este tenisul feminin un sport erotic?

2:08 Din multitudinea de bazaconii prezentate în media de azi am ales una ptr. deliciul dvs..

Fantasme pline de simbolisme, minciuni scrise sau citite deasupra vastelor decolteuri, asta le întrece pe toate (căpușă = tick). De unde au știut polițai-ii că l-au oprit de 9-11 ori, au o bază de date pentru asta sau au învățat și ei să numere de acum? (ok trebuie să stau acasă vreo câteva zile de-acum că dacă mă prind ăștia pe drum după ce am scris... uitasem să iau untul și nu mai știu ce de la WinCo, forget about).

2:35 The man upstairs is not home tonight. I couldn't hear his heavier steps though the white car with BPM he mostly uses is here. Wondering what THEY are up to. Let me see if the black CJS one is here.

2:56 Ok both cars are here. My truck is here too.

3:15 Michael George Dick of Beaver-ton. Horny (Dick already had...). Yes i know there was a vice-president with that name. I think he lived upstairs for a while.

As i said before, THESE guys won't stop by themselves, uh-huh. However. I was wondering earlier. What would the world do without THEM. Like if all of them would disappear suddenly like in a Sci-Fi movie. Raptured or something. Go on a planet. Will the world survive for more than a month?


3:27 Every cell, slag wool.

9:18 Era nevoie de un moment, de o nevoie, de o sincronizare cu ceva. Au ținut-o în rezervă un an pentru un moment ca acesta. 4 link-uri, 4 ani.

De jucat tenis putea încă să joace dar cred că nu mai dădea așa de bine ca altele mai tinere în poze. Eu am întrebat atunci, întreb și acum.

Cum poate o organizație internațională să recolteze probe biologice într-o anume țară, unde numai sistemul juridic este abilitat prin lege să o facă. Organizație care are chiar și "tribunale".

Cum se poate face analiza pentru sute de substanțe care sunt pe lista celor interzise dintr-un singur eșantion și cât ar costa.

Răspunsul e unul singur. BS. Este o formă de entertainement iar dopajul un element care îi dă sațietate la momente oportune.

9:50 0 frază care se contrazice singură. O linguriță are 5 ml, o lingură 10. Apropo nu cred că Halep a fost testată de USADA care are cât de cât jurisdicție in SUA. Apropo, la cât timp s-a făcut testul B la Halep?

Nu există studii referitoare la cât de mult se schimbă concentrația de Roxadust în urină după 3 luni de congelare (freezing) (apropo la ce temperatură a fost congelată proba?).

12:10 Got two hours of sleep so far. Been breathing on my congested nose for hours and suddenly got a series of palpitations (irregular heart beats and/or fibrillation) that BTW get longer every time. What i wanted to say. I know i will regret this for the next 20 hours or less but here it goes.

I was in Reno and the whole section of the hotel (i know cause i asked to change rooms) was smelling like sewage and most likely it was all coming from one or a few rooms.

In buildings with central A/C including some apartment buildings some of the air coming from all units if not all gets mixed then cooled in the (central, single, huge) AC unit, recirculated again in all units (like in a car when you put the A/C on recirculate, but permanently, for cost reasons). So you basically you share the air with everybody in that building, young, old, healthy, sick, pets, litter dust, under fridge dust, cooking and burning smell, dirty laundry, dishes, pet pheromones, name it.

The room at GSR was also having fabric like woven dust inside the vents (when i looked with a flashlight through the grill) and with cold air, condensation, mold, bacteria. There was decades old dust on the armoire.

Combined with insulation coming from walls, there is no way you would have a nice complexion while living in one of these buildings, probably months after if you choose to move.

Also probably same goes for recirculating... There are different types of bacteria in different areas of your body and those should stay there (no matter how sexy you think it looks).

For immediate results besides immediate interruption of the cause, i recommend a course of systemic antibiotics with doctor's approval and supervision as they can have side effects like severe alergies. Avoid doxycycline or other tetracyclines cause they may cause heart damage. Augmentin would be a good choice, though more expensive. Should use probiotics during treatment cause antibiotics also destroy your beneficial bacteria.

Intramuscular (a bit painful but time released) instead of oral which can cause (serious in some people, gastric discomfort, liver overloading) but that is rarely prescribed in the US as you need an assistant for every injection every 6 or 8 hours (yes in your lovely butt). IV would be a good compromise but me personally i don't feel great about those either. Patches if you can find them.

At GSR i tried and stopped the AC and used an UV lamp inside (when i was not there) so i could get some sleep. (Should not look at while on, should not use with plants inside and only when you're not home). Cheapest is kinda awkward to use (it gets dragged by the wire, moves around).

But after i wrote about guess what. They sent me next year an invitation (Peppermill, built in the 70s) with a good price (that doubled when i got there) and put me in a duplex (room separated from next room by two locked doors, one on each side).

There was a guy next door on an otherwise empty floor in one of the newer buildings. He opened his door, making sound separation even thinner, turned the TV on and then coughed all night and after a few hundred miles driven and 4  hours of sleep i got so mad i drove 500 more miles, home, the next day.

5:10 Angela got since last week from her HR manager a letter she had to transmit in person to her doctor with the requirements of her job basically asking the doctor if she can do the job or not. The specified requirements within that letter are lifting 40 pounds, standing, bending, squatting etc. which she rarely did at SMT (her job title is machine operator) though sometimes is required at other work stations that do not include walking when SMT is not available. She already had a 20 pounds restriction since she got hired permanently first because of her fist heart surgery and then the hernia basically since 2016. But since, the HR manager changed several times.

The SMT machine she operated is 100 ft long and she has to walk alongside that maybe an average of 100 times in one day (with more partial walks, stops etc.). Both Angela and the doctor are puzzled as Angela nowadays got bursitis in both her legs but there is nothing specified about that in the job description. Because if they did they would basically acknowledge she got sick from the enormous amount of walking every day, for one year and a half.

For a while she was wearing a pedometer while working at SMT and that one counted over 15000 steps or three miles a day.

Before that, people working in SMT were rotating in less demanding stations every few days. But when they recently rotated Angela after she got hurt she got to lift over 40 pounds and she got the 20 pounds restriction because of a hernia created during surgeries post heart surgery (retrieving of forgotten wires). Angela says that Steve Eaton (coincidence of names with the company) her de facto supervisor, the leader who survived several supervisors since she got hired  did that on purpose cause he knew well about her restriction.

5:53 Today they picked the time to call her form dr.'s office probably because i wrote about a few medical things and drug tests on the blog and they asked her what limitations they will write down and Angela asked to keep the permanent 20 pounds limit with occasional 40 and 5000 steps a day for walking, for one or two months, or until the next appointment with the doctor.

The first person who called her and then put her on hold had a very familiar voice i could hear from the other room. Then after waiting she got to talk to somebody else in same dr.'s office.

Angela tried to explain the bigger picture but all that person wanted was Angela to tell her what to write in that paper they will email HR tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So all the dilemmas were on Angela. At a certain time Angela told her that maybe the company wants to get the tax deductions for hiring disabled people.

Angela also had a hard time concentrating because last night she slept in smoke. There was a large hole at the corner of the living outside i fixed in the morning. There is a filter in the living but none in the bedroom (it broke) and smoke concentration in there was higher. There is smoke in here as i write.

6:31 Non essential duties of the job. They recently hired in there a person who does not hear or talk. There is at least one person with similar lifting limitations that do not do SMT. Angela might be able to do SMT several times a week like other people did before her, after a one or two months restriction.

7:05 I opened the door trying to figure the cause for the persistent smoke in here (we both perceive it as such though it could be very concentrated mold smell from underground mole galleries) and the kids invaded the area and caught me outside. There was a white kid (a novelty) yelling at the other "stop it" "stop it" while facing me as i tried to retire inside.

In the meantime i had a chance to step on a few holes and the mold subsided a little.

7:40 I was intrigued by the whole story and took a better look at that questionnaire. I don't think Angela was supposed to transmit the letter to the doctor, see the questionnaire or answer those questions. I think the whole process was designed to intimidate us into me stopping writing here. Intimidation is a crime under Oregon and Federal law.

8:12 Sorry for the quality of the images but smoke or whatever this is prevents me from doing some of the things i normally can.

If this letter was for Eaton internal use only and was addressed to Angela then why they asked Angela to give it to the doctor?

What is the purpose of attaching the job requirements to the last page? The doctor does not determine if someone fits or not the requirements, he/she just evaluate a patient.

Also a doctor cannot evaluate if someone can setup the machine, read process sheets, etc.. Doctors can evaluate if a patient can see or not and this was never the case. But what tops it is the fact that an unknown to Angela non medical person asked her the questions on the second page after Angela saw the third page and knowing she does not fit in the job description with the 40 lbs limitation. Also she insisted Angela answered yes at the first question.

To make things more interesting, the HR manager is on vacation until next week so we will try and hold our breath until 18.

8:35 Maybe people keep asking themselves, if i am so smart why i don't have a job myself. Maybe because at my last more serious job in 1999/2000 at AVX Vancouver (formerly Kyocera) my supervisor was Axl Rose? He was coming at work for a few hours a day when he was coming and all he did was pull me from the floor into the launch area. Maybe he wanted to do something good for me, the air there was full of ceramic dust mixed with lead and the temperature was constant 65 degrees due to a broken AC.

No i was not drinking at the job there. I wasn't drinking at all during that time. We just had McDonalds and soda in the lunch room. However my stomach was hurting me all the time, probably because of that dust, dust at home, etc..

Never realized how much Kyocera logo looks like a panda bear head or who knows what kami when turned on a side. After all i know today i begin to realize who was the Japanese woman who came from time to time in there while people were whispering... "She tells everything". Though many people were missing a lot from work, people were punching for others etc.. I was happy to have a job, didn't really want to get in trouble.

Until one day i got mad, probably overloaded with dust and i went to see a lawyer i knew since 1996 and told him about the dust, the cold and people doing all kinda things to me that were getting worse by the day. The guy looked embarrassed and talked to me in the hallway. There was a woman who heard everything.

Typically Japanese style, they demoted me the next day (don't know who told them about the lawyer) from technician to operator and moved me into a hot area for cooking ceramic so i just quit. I was leaving in... Beaverton some 20 miles away.

And yes they put a little 1999 December 31 night show in there. Y2K bug, Putin's coup. The day before i quit. There was this huge antenna across the street from AVX. It is my belief that these huge towers, everywhere across the world can interact with ionosphere, making them geo-weapons. Someone took that one out in that day.

After i fixed all the machines in testing, a bottle neck there and they got an all time production record in December 1999.

If you don't believe me ask Don, the engineer. Nino D'Angelo, Ana Blandiana (Susan Sarandon), the guy from Inner Circle, Tom Green, Nidal Hasan, Cheech and Chong and probably Viktor Orban as John Ciorba.

Same goes for Angela, i think the Chinese woman there, Hao is really Victoria Principal from Dallas. Yes she was born in Japan officially an American from American parents but i think she is all the way Japanese, sometimes posing Chinese. But she doesn't really care.

10:06 Outside it smells really bad probably a huge one, went to see, the sprinklers started in that area, one sprinkler is broken and sprinkles on top of the garages and wets the laves that already fell there making them rot... Cannot pick it anyway cause now it got wet...

10:35 No it was "only" a pee coming from a really sick dog not far from the door.

10:40 De ce nu spune nimeni niciodată care sunt limitele legale și cum se măsoară. În SUA limitele legale sunt de 10000 mai mari decât nivelurile deja dăunătoare și de 1000 de ori mai mari decât în Rusia de exemplu. În acest tabel din Europa (ultima coloană) limitele sunt în W/m2, în SUA sunt în mW/cm2 deci de zece ori mai permisive decât majoritatea țărilor din Europa.

Dar sunt țări ca Bulgaria, Italia, Polonia, Rusia care au limite de 100 de ori mai restrictive decât cele mai multe țări inclusiv România și sunt doar de 10 ori mai mari decât e setată alarma pe aparatul meu de măsură.

Nebunia apare din faptul că politicienii care fac legislația nu se pricep la nimic. Inginerii care au făcut acest aparat de măsură au pus limita tot la 10 dar în mW/m2, de o mie de ori mai restrictiv decât în Europa care este totuși de 10 ori mai restrictiv decât în SUA.

Politicienii nu se pricep, se expun pe ei înșiși și pe noi toți, dar chestia e că dacă limitele ar fi cele reale de siguranță telefoanele nu ar mai putea funcționa ca atare, nu ar merge nici la 10 metri de turn. Și totuși nu înțeleg cum funcționează ele în Italia, Bulgaria, Polonia, Rusia. Înseamnă că nu au nevoie de atâta putere.

Multă lume nu înțelege dar în cazul telefoanelor radiația este însăși puterea de emisie necesară pentru a accesa cel mai apropiat turn, după ce le scanează pe toate, la putere maximă.

Normal că se pot seta din soft însă cine știe să le măsoare și cine garantează că nu o iau razna doar ca să arate fabricantul că telefoanele lor merg mai bune? Ca să nu mai vorbim de viruși și de hackeri care pot schimba setarea. Cred că telefoanele ar trebui să aibă un cip hardware independent ceva care să măsoare puterea de emisie în orice moment și să bipăie o alarmă.

11:20 There was a piece of garbage next to the black car than went and came minutes ago. I picked it up then i regretted.

12:00 Dacă vreți să vă luați un aparat uitați-vă după RF și setarea în mW/m2, EMF și ELF sunt pentru vânătorii de fantome.

Stau și mă întreb dacă acest pendant funcționează fiindcă seamănă cu un dipol în scurtcircuit de lungimea de undă respectivă și ar putea atrage și scurtcircuita undele, 99 de dolari? Aș putea să iau o bară de cupru rotund și să o tai la lungimea respectivă și să încerc apoi cu aparatul de măsură să văd ce face.

Însă nu vă va putea proteja de propriul telefon mai ales când îl țineți aproape de cap. Doar de turnuri sau telefoane la un metru doi distanță.

July 11

8:03 Starea națiunii Ungrovlahia. Simbolism deșănțat. Au adus Steaua cu bec înapoi în ghenă ca să suprapună crucea cu steaua lui Isis (aka Ishter, aka Onana, aka c...a Babilonului) peste imaginile prezentate de mine ieri cu scopul unor demonstrații științifice pe care le scot în afara percepției. Becali mulțumește lui Ciolacu, deci se vâră iar în politică.

Iohannis are amnezie, ar trebui să-i amintească cineva că Budăi a fost numit de el, ca toți ceilalți. Tot ce se presupune că s-a întâmplat în afacerea azilelor groazei și multe altele (toate) s-au întâmplat în timpul domniei sale echidistante. Însă toate acestea îl prind așa de bine... Mult circ, multă frământare a apei în piuă, nu putem aștepta de la ei nici măcar nimicul. Liniște. De fapt ce este lume-a decât nimicul în mișcare

11:25 Psihologie inversă. Ungaria este "țara" care furnizează actorii pentru toate guvernele lumii și UE.

11:43 Psihologie deviaționistă, au scos-o acum pe Carmen Electra de la murat și au băgat-o în cabina de machiaj.

9:25 The plants at our garden bed have been contaminated with aphids and funguses. Fighting really hard to keep them alive with almost daily spraying with Neem oil. Good thing i bough 80% concentrate and i dilute it like one spoon per one liter of water. For the same price for a bottle i can make 10 gallons. Neem oil is not toxic for humans and is even used for therapeutic purposes. Anti fungal, antibacterial.

Tonight when i started to spray 3 black women and one white older man with a dog came from an unexpected different direction than church's parking lot. I stopped spraying but the dog was barking like crazy until i put the spray bottle away. One of them has a bed and she's got only kale however her kale is not contaminated like ours and is not far away. Tall, thin, model type, looking of Caribbean descent.

When we left a car came unexpectedly from the other parking lot and crossed my way. Like never before and like this morning all of a sudden a lot of people on the streets were jogging in all directions. When i got close to home the guy with the black Chrysler who left a wheel next to stairs wall was parading in front of me through the whole complex.

10:44 Axl Rose acted as my supervisor at AVX Vancouver, WA for almost one year, between August 1999 and August 2000 under the mane Orville Oster. Situația cu bătrânii în SUA e similară.

11:32 Talking about Carole King from Sussex Village Apts., got one of these in the mail. And it's only $6.66! Isn't this what they call false advertising?

11:40 La Steaua. Phil Collins, the most successful talentless (boring depressing) singer.  

11:47 Nu se poate. Dacă Ucraina ar intra în NATO războiul s-ar termina instant iar războiul trebuie să dureze.

12:00 Electra

JOB LIST


Never looked so carefully at this list before. (Can't remember where i got the list from, must have been Employment Office by the time there still was one in Beaverton.) Some of the pages are printed partially and at an angle. But don't understand why the second job in 96, that where i made 674 dollars was through Olsten since i know for sure i worked at Electronic Specialty through Interim Personnel, on Chkalov drive in Vancouver, WA which later changed its name to Spherion. Corporations games, changing corporation names.

That might explain why they have been so nice to me when i worked at Infocus as an auditor, then a technician, through them again, in the fall of 96 where i quit so i can go and work at Epson for less money, but with my wife so she can work too cause she kept complaining for siting home alone for almost a year back then. In the end, the irony is now she is working and me not for so long.

LOL i remember at Blount why they made me quit. I was working on a milling machine sharpening star(triangle) shaped rotors for mowers. There was a fixture and i was just changing the part and starting the cycle. I didn't understand how many i was supposed to do, but after a few days everybody was kinda angry with me until after about a week i understood why... I was doing double the amount of the other two shifts combined LOL. Same thing happened a few years later at Laughlin through Express, until they ran out of parts and they fired me...  A Chinese woman called me a commie! Now i know it was all staged... Some of the coworkers, including my recruiter at Express were celebrities, the woman at Express (i first worked through them in early 96 at Credence) was looking a lot like Stevie Nicks...

LOL at Epson i was working on the world record line, doing frequently more than 500 printers per shift and my wife together with another Romanian, Dragoş Ţăvârlău, from Bucharest were both working on a similar line and doing less the 300..

In 98 i did not work for Softlink (although i've been told that the company was called Softlink before) but i knew the company name was Quadramed. Sir Frances Drake Blvd. In San Fancisco.

By the way, in autumn 97, after being laid off from Credence (Express) - Credence sold that part of the company, service for testers out of fabrication, to a startup in San Francisco, led by the brother of one of the Credence cofounders. I drove 700 miles in 13 hours in a car (white 89 Escort GT) that i bought from Insurance Auto Auction (during that job, summer 96) after being totaled and i fixed it myself, replacing the hood, radiator, a fender, the bumper and the mask. However, there was a problem with the body and every time i was accelerating, it was making a squeaking sound and pulling one way and when i was breaking, the other. And had a broken exhaust and made a terrible noise. My supervisor at Credence, Dino Gipaya from Hawaii was the nicest guy i met. Not like the other one i worked with at AVX. I fixed the exhaust one year after i bought it but in early 98 three months after i was laid off from Les Schwab and working at Credence we rolled over in a ditch (my wife was driving) at one mile near the Ocean and totaled it. Again. LOL.

Cuvinte

Nimănui nu i-ar veni uşor să scrie ce urmează. Dar fiindcă nu există altă soluţie şi trebuie luate măsuri - cel puţin dacă România vrea să aibă o alură internaţională, cu cât mai repede cu atât mai bine. Nu ştiu cât ar dura să se marginalizeze şi elimine treptat nişte cuvinte din limba română, dar altă soluţie nu este. Mai mult ca sigur că aceste cuvinte au fost aduse de la periferia în centrul lexicului român în ultimii 50-100 ani. Dacă mai faceţi şi clic pe cuvintele în albastru veţi înţelege şi mai bine decât am încercat să explic eu de ce.

Pentru cei ce nu înţeleg că un cuvânt poate apare şi dispare într-o limbă, printre primele exemple de mai jos (exemplele, de altfel sunt în ordine alfabetică) este un exemplu de cuvânt care a fost anterior un termen de specialitate (demenţial) şi acum a câştigat statut de cuvânt foarte folosit, statut câştigat foarte recent.

crap - nume de peşte în română, din bulgarul krap. După cum în româneşte tot ce e ca un dulap alb, are uşă şi ţine frig înăuntru se numeşte frigider, cuvânt care aminteşte de frigid-aire (nici o aluzie trecutelor din viaţa mea şi unele chiar prezente încă doamne şi domnişoare), sintagmă însuşită, aţi ghicit, da, de o corporaţie, care a pus copyright pe încă o expresie; în engleză, crap vine de la crapper, care, aţi ghicit din nou, a fost nume de inventator şi apoi de firmă. (LOL, mă gândeam acum, la peşte în română, al doilea sens este... ştiţi voi...)

cum - să nu mai zic că de-acum tot românul cu internet ştie.

curcubeu - etimologie necunoscută, pare un cuvânt compus, să ne spună istoricii lingviști de unde dreaq mai vine în română că eu nu găsesc nimic. LOL ce coincidenţă... beu e aşa dracula iar dacă îi mai adaugi o singură literă devine beau care în engleză înseamnă amant masculin iar cu altă literă adăugată devine iarăşi belu.

demenţial - nu a fost modificat dar intens promovat cu înţeles de super. La fel şi bestial, de belea, etc. Apropo, să nu uităm de cimitirul Belu, o denumire mult mai veche, şi dacă tot veni vorba de cimitire, să amintim aici şi Ghencea, nume ce provine din limba turcă, inconfortabil de aproape de toponimia biblică Gheena care provine din ebraicul גיהינום, Geh-heh-nom sau chiar de cuvântul românesc ghenă.

domn - Cred că e singura limbă în care se foloseşte acelaşi cuvânt - interschimbabil - cu D pentru Dumnezeu ca şi cu d pentru formula de politeţe. Mai este lord în engleză, dar sunt foarte puţini cei care au acest titlu. În România toţi sunt domni, domnişoare şi doamne. Mai este şi expresia "vai doamne!" sau simplu "doamne!" care poate arăta mirare într-o conversaţie, care poate confuza mult pe un neobişnuit cu limba română fiindcă este o exprimare la persoana a 2-a care poate fi confundată cu partenerul de conversaţie. Interesant de menţionat că pe vremea dictaturii, adică vreo 50 de ani cuvântul domn nu a mai fost folosit decât în biserici, cu D mare şi reintrodus glorios în vorbirea curentă odată cu recâştigarea statutului de democraţie. Astfel dictatura are încă o notă bună, de nefolosire a acestui cuvânt. Deci un exemplu, mai singular, de cuvânt folosit în această formă începând într-o perioadă cred eu modernă, dispărut brusc 50 ani şi iar apărut. Deci se poate renunţa la un cuvânt, asta am vrut să spun.

drag - dar îl evocă şi pe ştiţi voi cine.

duş - chiar nu am reuşit să înţeleg niciodată de ce acest cuvânt care este acelaşi la pronunţare şi înţeles cu cel din franceză, a deviat aşa de mult de la înţeles în engleză, împreună cu multe alelele. (asta este şi o problemă franco-engleză, care la noi putea fi evitată la alegerea şi promovarea neologismelor.) Pentru cei ce nu ştiu, hai să menţionez aici în treacăt că a existat aşa ceva, mai ales într-o cultură centralizată, unde cei de sus făceau trendul pe vremea când numai ei aveau contact cu lumea.

fac - fiindcă se pronunţă ca fuck (aveam un coleg la AVX american care învăţase faza de la alţi "colegi români" (acum ştiu că de fapt erau personaje) şi din când mă întreba, cu gura până la urechi: ce faci George?)

iubit = ubit - în engleză pentru acest scop se foloseşte boy-friend sau girl-friend, în română a fost prieten, dar a fost marginalizat mai ales de presă, mai ales în ultimii ani. Cuvântul prieten în română are origine sanscrită sau proto-sanscrită, la fel ca multe altele - situaţie unică între celelalte limbi indo-europene - cu rădăcina pri, care în sanscrită înseamnă plăcut, şi a mai dat în română verbul a prii.

mici - prea aproape de "cei mici", (the little ones). Forma lor, cam dubioasă. Românii, aduşi la adicţie, era una din puţinele delicatese sub dictatură. Aduşi în atenţie internaţională prin recentul scandal - artificial de altfel, sunt atâtea produse gen sărăţele, covrigei (pretzels), biscuiţi digestivi, etc. care au bicarbonat în reţetă. De altfel foarte asemănători la reţetă şi preparare cu burgers.

mitici sau mitici, cu accent pe primul i sau al doilea?

odor

poop - recent intrat în "lexiconul" românesc, este folosit peste tot în relaţiile on-line.

ţeapă - intens promovat, folosit şi în media, de persoane cu şcoală, prea aproape de personajul mitic pentru a nu deranja.

Dragoş - pe aproape de dragon.

Gheorghe - vechi nume românesc care provine din limba greacă, Γεώργιος, cu ruda lui Джордж în rusă, Giorgio în italiană, dar şi Georges şi George în franceză şi engleză. Ortografia curentă provine din "europenizare", în română nu e mare diferenţă de pronunţare dacă se scrie Gheorghe sau Ghiorghi.

Coincidenţă nefericită cu ascendenţa cuvântului gay, care de la blajinul înţeles de vesel, de la începutul secolului, la ce a ajuns acum, prin promoţie sălbatică. Un cuvânt bine definit şi cu înţeles clar în limba engleză pentru sute de ani a fost deturnat prin mijloace artificiale, greu de înţeles pentru omul de rând şi chiar lingvişti amatori. Profesioniştii ştiu. Mi s-a cerut de multe ori, la mişto, să spun cum se scrie şi se pronunţă numele meu în română, de către vorbitori de limbă engleză şi am fost nevoit să le explic, iar ei se făceau că nu înţeleg exact şi repetau, gay-or-gay?, iar eu exasperat, spuneam yeah, right..., fiindcă Gheorghe e numele meu înscris pe acte. Apropo, şi cuvântul homosexual are o etimologie forţată şi abuzivă începând cu engleza, am mai scris.

Gigi - e şi mai naşpa fiindcă în America e nume de femeie.

Iaşi - până nu demult localitatea se numea Eşi sau Ieşi (dulcele târg al Ieşilor, Creangă). 

Ion - care în engleză se pronunţă la fel ca ion, pozitiv sau negativ, mai mult negativ prin promoţia mărcii de maşină Saturn Ion. Saturn este zeul care îşi mănâncă singur copiii şi are un nume şi pronunţie în engleză foarte aproape de Satan. Ion este un cuvânt care apare şi pe la icoanele sataniştilor, nu ştiu exact de ce. A nu se confunda cu Ioan, un nume mult întâlnit în Biblie, au fost nişte personaje prin anturajul meu cu numele Ioan, pentru a scoate diferenţa la suprafaţă. I on se pronunţă identic şi denotă egoismul şi excitarea, iar eye on supraveghere, urmărire sau hipnotizare. Ion în engleză se pronunţă aproape la fel a iron care este o componentă a sângelui. Mai evocă şi cuvinte lion şi Zion.

Liviu - fiindcă se pronunţă aproape la fel ca live you, leave you dar cel mai aproape cuvânt în engleză este livid.

mă rog - folosit în conversaţie cu înţeles de whatever. Nu mă pot gândi la un echivalent în română acum. Nimeni nu înţelege logica acestei expresii folosită de multe ori în conversaţii pentru o pauză, sau a sublinia o lipsă de motivaţie sau o motivaţie a unei acţiuni. Tocmai această lipsă totală de logică îi dă celui neobişnuit cu expresia un sens blasfemic, pentru cei ce ştiu ce înseamnă aceasta.

Nicu - seamănă prea mult cu neck you. (Cine a fost Nicolaus Olahus?).

Vlad - ce să mai spun de ăsta.

Există o campanie pe plan mondial de a modifica cuvinte sau înţelesul cuvintelor pentru a servi scopurile unora şi nu neapărat pe termen scurt. Această campanie are loc concomitent în mai multe limbi din care ce ştiu eu sigur, engleza şi româna.

- lista este mult mai lungă, acestea scrise deja sunt cele mai importante.

Lingviştii, mai ales cei români nu se pot implica fiindcă au fost de mult cumpăraţi cu bucata sau şantajaţi. Mai apare câte un ziarist nou şi face pe eroul cu câte un articol, dar este terminat imediat.

Romanian Times

From the initial team who started Romanian Times, probably financed by a "generous sponsor"...
http://www.infoo.ro/romaniantimes/271/#/5/zoomed

Never knew Mr.Ciorba had blue eyes until today... Although i worked with him for a full year at AVX in Vancouver, WA, between August 1999 and August 2000... We had our times in there... I remember "Year 2000" New Year's eve when i was scheduled to work and the lights and power to all the machines went out in there at midnight and some women started to sing Christian songs... Last couple of times i saw him it was really dark, at Starbucks, and there were lots of distractions...


http://archive.romaniantimes.com/Editori.html

From these two above, Beni Lucescu is in jail and Mircea Lubanovici, well, you know...

August 1st

3:18 Came home. At Grocery Outlet in Lincoln City they were giving away empty cardboard boxes at the check-stand and Angela grabbed one. Numerous vehicles with modified lights, times the power of a regular high beam, blinding me. Red light at first camera in Sherwood turned green just for a second or two, though no other cars were in the intersection, the guy following us had to stop. Should he had passed on red, would have caught us and left us wondering all evening morning what it was. Before the one on Avery some other guy was tailgating so i pulled right and let him pass. He took a right without stopping and got flashed, should have been in front of him, would have been flashed too and let us wondering... etc.. Here at the building some shirtless guy crossed the alley in front of us and went to smoke at the other side of the alley and the guy upstairs left his trunk open made me wondering if i should call the Police, etc..

3:56 Doamna Crăciun "polițistul imperial", asistenta de la mate din facultate, ?

8:53 Slept 4 hours (2 more in the car), opened  the living blinds only to see a girl leaving, but only from behind. In other days i saw in the backyard a girl who looked like her.

9:08 A nu se înțelege greșit. Noi nu avem o Companie Națională Pentru Construcția Autostrăzilor. Această firmă de stat care se numește la fel ca cea din Bulgaria doar semnează contractele licitațiilor trucate. Apropo, un miliard de euro pentru 37 km de autostradă înseamnă 27 milioane pe km (probabil un record mondial), de 9 ori mai scump decât în Bulgaria în jurul anului 2000 sau de 4-5 ori mai scump ca acum (dacă nu ne grăbim, autostrăzile devin tot mai scump de construit), deci ei construiesc 172 de km tot prin munți cu aceeași sumă cu care noi facem 37.

11:31 Ghivnici, șeful meu de la IMU?

12:37 Lunea Ciucă. Am mers la Liquor Store să-mi iau niște coniac. Mi l-au pus normal într-o pungă maro. Chiar când începusem să mă simt prost, normal, fiindcă nu lucrez și nu mergeam în pauza de masă, ci la Liquor Store, în parcare, era tipul ăsta, dar în realitate are capul și mai mare, chiar cât o baniță. Mult mai mare decât Căposu însuși. Și m-am trezit din vis. La plecare și mai ales la venire am avut ceva probleme în trafic (lume flămândă cu ochii scoși conducând ca nebunii în pauza de masă, cozi de mașini la drive in la fast food, slalom cu întâlniri neașteptate pe sens opus etc..).

12:38 De Nero, Mazzini autoriza. But what is that ornament on the left?

12:53 Feel like i need a drink.

2:12 Or maybe it was her in the backyard. Or both.

4:51 One thing they can do for Lake Mead or any shrinking lake is use monolayers extracted from vegetable oil, that are one molecule thick thus imperceptible, with little or no effect on wildlife and can reduce evaporation by 75%. Here's a quote from a study since 1959: "4. It appears that maintaining of a monolayer under the conditions found at Lake Mead during these tests would not be too difficult and that a significant coverage could be retained for reasonable lengths of time". One thing i can think of though is the lake is now cooled by that evaporation and i'm wondering how much the temperature will raise if they would do so. But of course authorities would not do so since they are controlled by entities that deliberately want to heat the planet so they can hurry the heaven on Earth that would happen after the Earth will burn of course.

7:45 How Ukraine war caused and maintained by two men, Putin and Zelenskyy, contributes to climate crisis. Coal is mostly carbon (and lots of other pollutants especially sulfur) while oil is mixed and natural gas like methane has 25% by mass hydrogen and the rest carbon. However hydrogen produces more energy per mass than carbon.

7:54 Have you ever heard kids yelling like a high pitch vibrato car alarm? This is what they're doing here for the last few hours.

8:03 I had a bad link and it was too important and i repeat it here (Noises often distract me and i forget things). By use of monolayers to prevent 75% of evaporation they could raise the lake 4 ft every year. But don't say that to a Dominican or Buddhist cause they won't like it. BTW. It always puzzled me like since i was a kid and heard for the first time of artificial lakes. Creating these gigantic lakes to store water lead to more water loss through evaporation, right?

9:20 Show of the evening, about 15 minutes ago. Angela wanted to do a load of laundry because she needed things for tomorrow (still had her day off today though we haven't been anywhere, it was a ruined vacation). I started to gather things from the room and basket and as usually the pants and shirt on me on me were the last items to go in there.

I was in the small hallway in front of the bathroom when i pulled my belt and unzipped my pants when i saw, around the corner of the wall, through the opening in the blinds on top of the AC (rest of the blinds were shut) three brown Japanese girls that just came around the other building staring at me from about 100 ft distance. It lasted one tenth of a second, they couldn't have seen anything, because i was around the corner, my head with only about 5% of my body visible, my pants still on and they should had look in that direction which they did, like waiting for me to do just that.

Behavior (mine) prediction by AI and synchronization on the ground, it's all i can say. I went in the bedroom, furious, changed my pants, when Angela found a spider that came out of nowhere and caught it in a transparent plastic glass and it was me i should had take it outside, but when i opened the door, this time there was a Hungarian clown talking on the phone, next to hydrant, like he only had signal from Budapest in that spot, where those girls just passed. So i waited for him to leave (actually he just went out of sight), took the spider outside and went to see what they could have seen. Though the clear plastic sheet on top of the AC covering the door opening is wrinkled, they had a pretty good view, from where they were standing, in the only possible point they could have seen me for that tenth of a second.

Just put a blanket in that area with sliding hooks on blinds' rail, that would stay there for the rest of the AC season. This morning when i first open the blinds i saw through that same area a girl with a dog, leaving from ft away from the balcony.

9:50 Just went outside to water the plants in the balcony. The timer at the light bulb with sensor at the same corner where the girls where went out and the yard went dark (like in the past one of the two broken lights at the building across that were going out when i was stepping outside). Started to pour water when the light came back on and turned my head to see this time a Japanese boy carrying a big transparent jug with some juice left at the bottom which made me salivate. He passed by me and went down between the buildings and the same way the girls left.

The normal route should be on the alley, google maps won't "let you" walk through the grass, where they usually come with the dogs, pass and sometimes play, starting point is where they sensor light is, and where the girls came towards the single white car (I think it's our old Elantra), our building covered by trees is in the middle, there is one more building at the left and two garage buildings enclose the yard.

10:55 Iepurică? (The little rabbit), my colleague at AVX (August 1999 - August 2000). I went to a party with him once. Also possibly the cop in this video and the male voice saying an impossible word "hmhmhm yeah eh" that reminds of a rabbit (sound). BTW the other girl in the video is Naomi Naga_ta from the Expanse.
