cuthbert1776, hola, aquí va la respuesta culinaria número dos: sobre como se prepara la paella tradicional en España, te puedo decir que hay tantas clases de paellas y arroces como comarcas y sí, hay maneras diferentes de preparla. Si hablamos de la genuina paella valenciana, ésta se compone además del arroz, de judías verdes anchas, judías blancas, pollo, conejo y caracol serrano (xoneta). Luego están las paellas de marisco, que en los últimos años han conseguido un éxito desbordante, con calamares, sepia, gambas, cigalas y entre las que destaca la paella de langosta, cara pero muy apetitosa. La que prepara tu abuela, es la que aquí llamamos paella mixta, que combina el pollo con varios mariscos.
(Trans: There are as many kinds of paellas and rice dishes as there are districts in the region and yes, there are different ways of making them. Talking about the genuine Valencian paella, this consist besides rice, of wide-pod green beans, giant beans, chicken, rabbit and white-shelled mountain snails (xonetas). But there are also seafood and shellfish paellas, which in recent years have become increasingly popular, with squids, cuttlefish, prawns, crayfish and particularly the high-priced but mouth-watering lobster paella. The one your grandmother make is the
mixed paella, that combines chicken with seafood and shellfish.)
Acerca de "you are welcome", la expresión mas usada en España es "de nada", tambien se puede decir "no hay de qué", pero está expresión es mucho mas formal y cortés y menos usada.
La expresión "por nada" que se usa en algunos paises sudamericanos, viene de "no hay por qué", otra manera de decir basicamente lo mismo.
(Trans: About "you are welcome", the most used form in Spain is "de nada", also you can say "no hay de qué", but this expression is very formal and courteous and less used.
The expression "por nada" that is used in some South American countries, comes from "no hay por qué", other way of saying basically the same.)
Y hablas muy bien el español, quizas tienes algun pequeño fallo ortográfico en algunas terminaciones pero te entiendo
perfectamente, además hay que tener en cuenta que el español es mas difícil que el inglés, hay formas verbales de subjuntivo que son difíciles hasta para nosotros :-)

HOW TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY GAMBLING
An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money.
After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client is always right) an employee took the elderly woman to the president's office.
The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000". The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman replied that she made bets.
The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?"
The elderly woman replied, "Well, I be t you $25,000 that your testicles are square."
The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was impossible to win a bet like that.
The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?"
"Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my testicles are not square."
"Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness."
"No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently.
That night, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over again and again until he was positive that no one could
consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet.
The next morning at exactly
10 o'clock the elderly woman arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the president's testicles were square.
The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to drop his pants etc.
so that she and her lawyer could see clearly.
The president was happy to oblige.
The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and asked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure."
The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!"

It's About Time (Van Halen)
Prince Charles to Marry Camilla
LONDON (AP) - Prince Charles said Thursday he will marry his divorced lover Camilla Parker Bowles in April, putting an official seal on a long romance that Princess Diana blamed for the breakdown of her tempestuous marriage to the heir to the throne. The announcement ruled out the possibility that she would become queen.
The Prince of Wales and Parker Bowles will marry on Friday, April 8, at Windsor Castle, said Clarence House, Charles' residence and office.
During a visit to London's financial district Thursday, Charles accepted congratulations on his pending nuptials.
"Thank you very much, you're so kind." he said. "I am very excited."
Parker Bowles will use the title Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall after the marriage. When Charles becomes king, she will not be known as Queen Camilla but as the princess consort, Charles' office said.
That decision by the prince appeared to be a nod to public opinion, which has never warmed to Camilla.
The marriage will be a civil service and not a Church of England service.

Stevee T, really? Well.....I'm afraid I only own a picture, lol
Zinc Master, good joke, lol
bahduh, hi, glad to see you posting again, the long mail
coming soon :-) best wishes
Steven Wilde, hi! how are you today? I hope everything is doing well with you, I'm doing better with my stress, I'm learning a thing called "visualization" kind of boring, this was sending me to sleep lol I hope it works. A big cyber-hug and all the best for you
estrela, hola, how are you? About "Lost in Translation", what I like the most of this movie is the attitude of Bill Murray's
character of "I've seen it all before" or as we say in Spain, "estar de vuelta de todo" lol there are many different feelings involved in the movie that make it really interesting. I hope your test had doing well, and lots of love and successful things for you too :-)
962, thanks for the "Mourning Widows" info, it have been really useful and entertaining, a long time without knowing about Nuno. I've been searching the cds and yes they are pretty costly, even 56 euros for one, I'll pick up only one for the moment, I've chosen the more refined, "Furnished Souls for Rent". Fortunately I've found it at my usual cybershop for 22,99 euros, I'll tell you when it comes. And I have another question, do you know if Eric Johnson have released a video or DVD of any of his concerts? I know his instructional videos, but nothing about live videos.
death cube k, my heartfelt condolences
JOE, I'm so glad to hear you are officially cured of your pneumonia, and I hope those European festivals become a reality, we miss you!

The other day I asked if anyone had ever heard of the Dutch/Spanish artist Valensia? No takers.
Someone here (Master Yoda maybe??) went to the Queen theatrical production recently... They oughta hire THIS guy as musical director!!! I think Brian May oughta give him a shot over Paul Rodgers as well. I particularly like the "Queenized" version of that old classic "All the Young Dudes" Imagine , someone who sounds simultaneously like Freddie and Brian, that is downright scary.....

Tommy Lee hopes tour will give him a break
Mötley Cr¨e drummer Tommy Lee is anxious to start the group's upcoming tour just to get some leisure time. In addition to preparing for the trek and recording new tracks for the Red, White & Cr¨e hits collection, Lee has also been finishing a new solo album and has been in post-production for his upcoming NBC-TV reality show Tommy Lee Goes To College. He said his schedule is overloaded at the moment: "I'm in the middle of trying to finish a solo record that coincides in June with my NBC show. So I'm pulling, like, the craziest double-duty shifts you've ever seen. During the day I'm in the studio recording my stuff, then in the evenings rehearsing with Motley, and then back to the studio doing mine, back to the other studio with Mötley in the evenings...I've just been going non-stop."
Tommy Lee Goes To College, filmed last year at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will premiere in June as part of NBC's summer schedule.

AC/DC reissues Back in Black in new format
AC/DC's Back In Black has been reissued this week in a new format. It's now available as a DualDisc, which combines a CD and a DVD onto one disc. The CD side has the original album, while the DVD side has an enhanced stereo mix, and AC/DC discography, and the film The Story Of Back In Black, which features band interviews, archival footage, and in-studio performances of songs including "Hells Bells," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," and "Shoot to Thrill."
Back In Black is AC/DC's biggest album, having sold more than 20 million copies just in the U.S. since it was released in 1980.
Frontman Brian Johnson said the band's success comes directly from guitarists Malcolm and Angus Young: "Malcolm and Angus really gotta take a lot of credit for the fact that they've just stuck exactly to what the first thought about rock-and-roll...Angus has got a lovely story. When Malcolm asked him to join the band, right at the very start, and Angus asked Malcolm, he said, 'Well, what kind of music are we gonna play?' And Malcolm looked at him, with a quizzical look in his eyes, and he went, 'Rock-and roll!'"
AC/DC is said to be preparing a new studio album and a tour for this year, but nothing's been announced.

I try to be welcoming - I was welcomed by many people when I started posting here, which was very nice.
I can never replace Do The Stu, and do not want to. In the "old days" when someone moved into the neighborhood, they would be welcomed with pies, dinners, offers of help ect.
I am just trying to re-start that here in cyberspace - here at T2J.
Sometimes I have great stories/jokes to share - other days, I am just too busy or there is nothing good to pass on.
Some may believe, even what I do post - I should have considered it not "worthy" - but you cannot please everyone, all the time.
Up here in NWI (northwest indiana), had some snow this morning (less than 1/2 inch) , but it is supposed to get sunny later today !!
Anyone going to the Chicago Auto Show - it starts on Friday and runs until February 20. I am hoping to make it up there this weekend, but we shall see. It is supposed to be 40% bigger than last year !

From my part of the state, we also "grow" a lot of interesting politicians, who eventually get busted. Some, from your part of the state, consider us the arm pit of the state. We are "da region". We are not on your time, part of the year.
We would like to leave the state, but Chicago will not take us.
We get more Chicago news than Indiana news. Maybe nothing goes on in the middle of the state?

climber: Most audio recorded software (for windows at least) will output audio as a .wav file. This is perfectly acceptable as far as I know for making a glass master.
XtraCheeseReal: I have a black 2001 S470 with all Dimarzio pickups (Air Norton in the neck, Virtual2Middle, AirZone in the bridge). Other than some corrosion on the pickup rings and bridge (purely cosmetic) it's in mint condition. The frets have very little ware. I'm trying to sell it because I just don't need so many guitars at this point, but it's a great sounding guitar. Let me know if you're interested, although it sounds like you have plenty o' Sabers haha! GO SABER!!
