  • kalayzich commented on the list braconid

    But let's get back to the wasp-cocoon infestation I mentioned. Those little white rice-looking protuberances on the caterpillar are the cocoons of small braconid wasps (Cotesia congregatus). Earlier, the wasplings had been dining on the innards of the caterpillar, and the caterpillar could do nothing about it. But now that they're pupating, the caterpillar's life is almost over. It will die when the parasitoid wasps emerge. If you see a tomato hornworm so infested, and you hate them, as I do, leave it be. The wasps once hatched will seek out other hornworms. This is nature's way of protecting her tomatoes, eggplants, and potatoes

    Ganesh Asirvatham Potentially any inspired 9 letter or more play would make the cut. As most of us are aware, knowing the word and spotting the word in open play are two very different concepts. Lewis Mackay played YPSILOID which is relatively easy to find when cardboxing on ZYZZYVA but holding DIIPLOS and looking for a Y to make a bonus is inspired indeed.

    David Sutton Eating WATERZOOI is one thing; spotting it as a nine-letter word through two separated floaters is another! But yes, the matter is subjective; doesn't stop it being a potentially entertaining and instructive addition to the WESPA website.

  • kalayzich commented on the list wow-plays-in-scrabble

    Karen Richards Years ago, I gave out an award for an interesting play at WYSC - this was heavily criticised, to the point where I ceased doing it.. The argument was that it was subjective. I awarded the prize to the player of AUBERGINE, being a 9-letter play, with a strange combination of letters, and nor even a word used in most countries. However, I was told this was nothing special. Just saying, you are getting into an area where people will say .. "but that isn't anything special." We have been eating WATERZOOI all week, incidentally, so I don't see that as particularly interesting

    Liz Fagerlund re Nigel's CHLORODYNE, for anyone who doesn't know how this spectacular play was formed, this was played in a club game in 1998 (he only started playing in 1996) with a rack of CDHLNR? - an E at the bottom of the board would have given CHiLDREN or CHaNDLER for 63 points. He played through O_O___E for his amazing 10 letter word; also making ID FY and EN (from the letters of WIFELY above it) for a score of 99 points. I notice looking at a picture of the board in NZ Forwords mag Dec 1998 that if QIN had been a word back then, CHLoRDAN would have played through an A with the N on QI for 76 points.

    September 6, 2016

  • kalayzich commented on the list wow-plays-in-scrabble

    Allan Simmons A question is whether BRACONID is really a fantastic word to spot or is it more of a bread-and-butter eight at this level. I imagine it's quite a useful eight with no duplicates and no E or S, and to the Scrabbler is no different from the likes of CARBINOL , COLUBRID or the more common CUPBOARD. Of course any 9x played at a critical WSC final quite rightly immediately inherits a lot of kudos and the news reports would be rather drab if the winning word was CUPBOARD

    September 5 at 7:30pm

    ..

    It has been suggested to me, in my role as current keeper of the zyzzyva definitions, that BRACONID should now be tagged with ‘as played by Brett Smitheram as a nine-timer in the 2016 WSC’. I don’t myself think that zyzzyva is the place for such commemoration, but it did lead me on to the idea that the WESPA website might have some sort of ‘WESPA Word Hall of Fame’, preserving particularly notable plays for the admiration and edification of us all.

    Of course, there are problems. I think that to guarantee integrity and provide context the plays would have to be from recorded games made in a public tournament, and inevitably there is an element of subjectivity: one man’s ‘Wow, BRACONID!’ may be another man’s ‘Well, of course Brett is never going to miss your basic common-or-garden parasitoid wasp’. But I’m sure there have been plays that everyone would agree are spectacular: examples might be WATERZOOI (sorry, I forget who played this) through two floaters, and Nigel Richards playing CHLORODYNE and WORLDSCALE.

    Anyway, for what it’s worth I donate the idea if anyone wants to run with it.

    September 6, 2016

  • kalayzich commented on the list wow-plays-in-scrabble

    David Sutton Yes, what I had in mind were more the beautiful or 'wow!' plays. Beautiful plays are likely to be also significant, but significant plays will not necessarily be beautiful. But, as I say, you can't escape an element of subjectivity: clearly from reactions BRACONID did have quite a wow factor for many people

    September 6, 2016

  • kalayzich commented on the list wow-plays-in-scrabble

    Zev Kaufman I think you are mixing up two categories of bingos . One is significant plays like BRACONID which secure the world championship but are not difficult finds for experts The other category are beautiful ( and therefore inherently difficult ) finds - especially if you don't know that the opportunity exists.These would include WATERZOOI and CHLORODYNE and the like . If you want to set up a site to record these type of plays, I would suggest you set it up as a puzzle page where you show the board and rack and let the viewer try to find the best play

    guitarwise is a word

    Antony Thexton Not really my area. Could win the guitar olympics; needs a notes for second dial a la Spinal Tap, Great skill; seen him live, gives good show. However YES live TOOK me somewhere. With Steve, I'm still in the room with someone clever. Satriani has a better tone (for me), and Gilmour has the feel and restraint. SRV floats my boat if I have need for flash and speed (and groove). Our Tommy still tops my list, guitarwise.

  • kalayzich commented on the list galah

    galah

    The word galah is a borrowing into Australian English from the Aboriginal

    Yuwaalaraay language of northern New South Wales. In early records it is

    variously spelt as galar, gillar, gulah, etc. It is first recorded in 1862

    in J. McKinlay's Journal of Exploration in the Interior of Australia: `A

    vast number of gulahs, curellas, macaws... here'. The bird referred to is

    the grey-backed, pink-breasted cockatoo Eolophus roseicapillus, occurring in

    all parts of Australia except the extreme north-east and south-west. It is

    also known as the red-breasted cockatoo and rose-breasted cockatoo.

    Some early settlers use the galah as food. In 1902 the Truth newspaper

    reports: 'The sunburnt residents of at that God-forsaken outpost of

    civilisation were subsisting on stewed galah and curried crow'. Some writers

    report that galah pie was a popular outback dish.

    The galah, which usually appears in a large flock, has a raucous call, and

    it was perhaps this trait which produced the term galah session for a period

    allocated for private conversation, especially between women on isolated

    stations, over an outback radio network. F. Flynn in Northern Gateway (1963)

    writes: 'The women's radio hour, held regularly night and morning and

    referred to everywhere as the 'Galah Session'. It is a special time set

    aside for lonely station women to chat on whatever subject they like'. More

    generally, a galah session is 'a long chat' - A. Garve, Boomerang (1969):

    'For hours the three men chatted... It was Dawes who said at last, "I reckon

    this galah session's gone on long enough".'

    Very commonly in Australian English galah is used to refer to a fool or

    idiot. A.R. Marshall and R. Drysdale in Journey among Men (1962), suggest

    that this sense of galah may have a non-Australian origin: 'A clue to the

    possible origin of the slang usage of 'galah'. In Malaya gila (pronounced

    gee-lah) means mad; hence orang gila, a madman'. But this explanation has

    not been accepted, and the Australian meaning must be a transfer from the

    bird, no doubt incorporating a judgment about the relative intelligence of

    the bird. The following citations give an indication of how the term is

    used:

    1951 E. Lambert, Twenty Thousand Thieves: 'Yair, and I got better ideas than

    some of the galahs that give us our orders'.

    1960 R.S. Porteous, Cattleman: 'The bloke on the other end of the line is

    only some useless galah tryin' to sell a new brand of dip'.

    1971 J. O'Grady, Aussie Etiket: 'You would be the greatest bloody galah this

    side of the rabbit-proof fence'.

    >From this sense arise a number of colloquial idioms. To be mad as a gum-tree

    full of galahs is to be completely crazy. To make a proper galah of oneself

    is to make a complete fool of oneself. A pack of galahs is a group of

    contemptibly idiotic people.

  • kalayzich commented on the list ants

    The ant is tenacious, strong, aggressive, generous, and very meticulous. The Ants most pronounced characteristic is patience. An ant can wait patiently for hours, hidden in the sand, for its prey, or it can transport items larger than itself over long distances without giving up. Ants typically live in groups, and everything is done for the ant colony and the good of the community. The ant teaches that you will have everything you need and will receive it when you need it most. It is the symbol of basic trust. It knows that it will ultimately be rewarded for all its efforts. If your activities are for the common good, then you will receive back any energy that you have expended in amplified form. It may be, however, that you will have to put greater effort into the realization of your dreams and use your creativity.

  • kalayzich commented on the list horses--1

    The horse shows both earthly strength and unearthly powers. It is regarded highly throughout the world and connected with the magical powers of shamans. With the help of the horse's speed, a person can cover long distances in a relatively short period of time. The horse has also made transportation of goods a lot easier. It is, therefore, the first and foremost totem animal of civilization. The power of an engine to this day is measured in horsepower. Riding a horse conveys a sense of freedom. It teaches that power cannot be attained by force, but rather that it is given to him who is willing to accept responsibility in a respectful manner. Just as the horse carries its rider on its back, the rider carries responsibility for everything around him. The power of the horse is the wisdom to remember all the steps in one's life and learn from them. This includes experiences from a previous life. Real power is strength used with wisdom. This requires love, compassion, and the willingness to share one's achievements and insights with others. It is important not to let our ego deny us access to this power.

  • kalayzich commented on the list parrots

    PARROT (ROSELLA/LORIKEET)

    The Parrot is a message of selfishness, self-centeredness and self importance. The Parrot is a showy and brightly colored identity whom has developed a self important illusion about his place in the hierarchy of life, and his journey is that of recognizing the imposter in himself. Parrots love the sound of their own opinionated voice, always trying to be heard over others. Despite the self-centered attitude and loud mouthed nature, Parrot people are mostly harmless, desperate to be acknowledged and seeking the attention that was failed to them in childhood. When Parrot appears it is an indication that there is a journey into the past required to heal the inner child.

  • kalayzich commented on the list wombat

    The wombat is a totem of resourcefulness, stability and foundation. Wombats have long claws adapted for digging. They teach us how to dig beneath the surface to acquire the resources needed for change. Strong and heavily built, with short powerful legs and strong claws the wombat holds the teachings of stability and foundation. They stand their ground in most situations and are not easily intimidated. Industrious, determined and very smart they have a large brain and know how to use it. These traits are inherent in wombat medicine people yet not always used. Wombat asks you to wake up and use the gifts that are your birth right. Use your will constructively but don't be too pushy in your determination to achieve. Wombats are playful and will folic with what seems like endless energy. They are also quite fast moving when they need to be. Their small ears hear frequencies and sounds unknown to humans and their small eyes can see what lies between the spaces. This indicates that their psychic vision and psychic hearing are fully developed. Those with this totem often find themselves in situations where their psychic skills are tested, criticized, ignored or praised. They are reminded to honor their truth and not be intimidated by others.

  • kalayzich commented on the list penguins--1

    The penguin signifies order, purpose and community. Penguins exude an air of properness and good manners, and are community coded where they will walk bolt upright forming several lines denoting a sense of order and purpose, determination and focus. Penguin people bear the same qualities and are bound to become great leaders within their group. Both male and female penguins bow to one another before entering or leaving the nest, and their human counterparts make fine partners and parents. The bow is a behavior demonstrated most often in pairs. Those with the Penguin totem are usually meticulous about their appearance and enjoy life styles related to high society. They are social and feel at ease in any type of situation. The Penguins message is to embrace and understand all realms of life, including the dreamtime (meditative) states. If the Penguin has appeared in your life prepare for a life altering course of mastery, fascination and transformation.

    ECHIDNA

    In the medicine wheel, the Echidna takes the place of an innocent child. Its disposition is friendly and loving; it is never the instigator of trouble. If it happens to be attacked by another animal, which rarely occurs, its spines will protect it. The teaching of the Echidna embraces faith and trust. Since faith is said to move mountains, this is a very significant power to have. This animal teaches us to be open, to discover new miracles every day, and to free ourselves from the serious routine world of adults. The Echidna has held on to a child-like sense of wonder and its trust in the divine plan where everything will turn out all right. Its friendliness and openness can unlock the hearts of others in order to share love and joy.

  • kalayzich commented on the list ginger--1

    Etymology: The Old English gingiber, gingifer(e are directly < late Latin gingiber = the earlier zingiber(i, < Greek ζιγγίβερις, apparently < Prakrit siŋgabēra < Sanskrit çṛŋgavēra, which has the appearance of a compound of çṛŋga horn and vēra body, but is supposed by Yule to be an etymologizing perversion (suggested by the antler-like form of the root) of a Dravidian name, a prehistoric form of the Malayalam synonym inchi-ver ( < inchi root). The Middle English forms seem to be readoptions chiefly through Old French gimgibre, gingimbre (modern French gingembre) = Provençal gingibre, gingebre, Spanish gengibre, agengibre, Portuguese gengivre, Italian zenzevero, zenzero, gengero, gengiovo.

    Other forms of this widely diffused word are Arabic zanjabīl (already in the Qur'an); Middle Dutch gengber (from Spanish or Portuguese) whence Dutch gember; also (with loss of the initial consonant as in German enzian from Latin gentiāna) Middle High German ingewer (German ingwer), Middle Low German engewer, Danish ingefær, Swedish ingefära.

    2. In form Mohican (also mohican). Designating a hairstyle in which the head is shaved except for a strip of hair running centrally from the middle of the forehead to the back of the neck.The Mohican hairstyle imitates a traditional deer-hair topknot worn by males of certain north-eastern American Indian peoples; the specific attribution to the Mohican peoples probably derives from the writings of J. Fenimore Cooper, either through conventionalized illustrations in certain editions or through film adaptations of the novels.

    The Mohican is now usually distinguished from the Mohawk (Mohawk n. 4) by the fact that the strip of hair is grown long and stiffened to stand erect or in spikes (a style associated particularly with punks in the 1970s and 1980s); however, in earlier use the two terms appear to have been more or less synonymous (Mohican being more usual in Britain, Mohawk more usual in the United States).
