Evening.

I called KUHF 88.7 FM and asked them to play the Mozkowski Etude No. 4, Op. 72. They played 1-3, but not 4. And I was so hoping to get it on tape cassette. Oh well. Check this site out:

NetDisaster

THis allows you to "destroy" the web-site you put in in any way you wish, selected from a list. Really Fun. This too:

Dig a hole through earth - where will you come out?

Some pictures...

The lizard on Ester

Word Wealth etymology adventures

Guess what these words mean:
1. bisaaltiotic
2. bicuitemial
3. visuovalentudology
4. dextriskophobiogamyotic (hint: two O's are for ornamentation)

Answers:
1. pertaining to something not twice the height
2. blood that is cooked twice
3. The study of the ability to have seeing power (eyesight)
4. a little fear of the right marriage

I made these up, and almost forgot the definitions to 3 and 4, even needing Mrs. Sternthal, my British Literature teacher, to figure it out. It was amusing to crack.

A day at the pool

On Sunday, everyone but Ester went to the pool, and had two serene hours there, with no noise breaking the silence (except for cicadas). Here follow some pictures of some fun:

Yosef performs a cannonball (and gets camera wet)
Underwater handstands
Yosef in mid-air (ready to become a cannonball)
Rebecca's splash-less jump

Long time no see

Due to school , which started on August 23, I have not been able to get to the blog until now. Schedule follows for those interested, with annotations:
1. Advanced Text (the same as Gemara)
2. Jewish Philosophy ( for the fourth Judaic credit, taught by R. Aharoni Carmel, a shliach from Israel. Class is sleepy, frankly speaking. Currently learning about repentance.)
3. AP Psychology (taught by Mrs. McCracken, a great teacher, especially in a class of six - three 11th graders and three 12th graders. Very interesting)
4. Physics H.
5. Word Wealth ( guess what is a lavatonym, a ovtheist, i.e rooster, and hippopotomonstronym.)
6. Lunch
7. Gemara
8. Chumash (again R. Carmel)
9. British Literature Honors ( quite challenging)
10. Pre Calculus Honors (10, 11, 12 graders)

There you have it. Garden does kacha kacha, with some crop failures marring what otherwise has produced some great work for the camera and the palette. I took some new pictures of the passionflowers from recently, i.e three months ago, and also included are the eggplants.
